Chapter 811: Chapter 811 Nan Feng Has a Small Request

The silver needle had been given to her by the Emperor before they left the Palace, saying that he wouldn’t be able to look after her every step of the way on the journey, so she should test everything she eats with the silver needle and not eat anything indiscriminately.

If it wasn’t for Nan Feng testing the oranges and peanuts with this silver needle that day, and then unwittingly eating so many different things, she wouldn’t have had diarrhea.

After they finished eating, someone led them to gather with the Emperor.

This time, they were going to a county in the entire region called Cen County, which had always been a hard-hit area by floods in previous years. However, the land there was fertile, and crops grew easily, so the people were reluctant to move and had continued living there until now.

Once everyone had arrived, the Emperor stood in front and scanned the crowd.

Fortunately, all the ministers who were supposed to come had arrived, and so had Nan Feng.

But the Emperor’s gaze landed on Lady Jiang: "You, come out."

Lady Jiang was somewhat excited, thinking the Emperor might have some special arrangement for her—perhaps, considering she got motion sickness from carriage rides, he would arrange for her to ride in the same carriage as him.

However, the Emperor said, "This journey is quite long; you don’t have to go. Stay here."

"Your... Your Majesty..." Lady Jiang was unwilling.

"That’s settled then. The rest of you, set out," the Emperor commanded.

A group of people set out once again.

There was a large dam below Cen County that had been blown up; now the Cen River flowed into the downstream Wuchannel, and the water from the Wuchannel flowed into the West River. If there were a flood tomorrow, it probably wouldn’t cause a flooding disaster again.

Clearly, the Emperor’s plan was feasible.

...

They stayed in the entire region for three days before setting off for Fu County.

Upon arriving in Fu County, Nan Feng felt much more spirited.

In the Palace, she heard various local dialects, but in Fu County, everything she heard was the familiar language of old, so it was impossible for her not to be excited.

The Emperor saw the reaction of Nan Feng and couldn’t help but smile.

In Fu County, they still stayed at the Governor Mansion. During the allocation of houses, Lady Jiang clenched her fists tightly.

This time, she must make sure Nan Feng had nowhere to escape.

The Dowager Empress had already replied in a letter, stating that everything had been arranged at Fu County.

That is to say, Nan Feng’s trip to Fu County was likely to be more perilous than auspicious.

Lady Jiang glanced at Nan Feng, who was sitting calmly in the courtyard waiting for the allocation of houses.

This time, she must have been assigned to the back courtyard again, which would make it easier to take action.

However, contrary to Lady Jiang’s expectations, Nan Feng was actually assigned to the same courtyard as the Emperor.

Was it not said that only the Emperor’s family could live in the front courtyard? Why then had Nan Feng been accommodated there?

Nan Feng was also stunned, but the governor of Fu County explained, "This is to take care of you, a single lady."

The governor of Fu County must have seen Nan Feng before, but it had been a long time, and Nan Feng had changed a lot, so he simply didn’t remember.

Nan Feng was not in the mood to catch up with him, and she thought that wherever she was assigned was fine.

It was just the same courtyard after all. Although the courtyard was large and the rooms were far apart, this one was guarded by heavy troops and relatively safe.

As soon as the rooms had been allocated, and everyone was about to return to their rooms, Nan Feng quickly made a request to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, Nan Feng has a small request."

"Please speak, Lady Nan Feng," the Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, Fu County is my hometown. I have business and friends there. Please permit me to go out for a bit. I would like to meet my old friends and also see how my past business is doing?"

The Emperor seemed reluctant: "But..."
