Chapter 1141 Why do this?

"Your Majesty..."

In the darkness, Nan Yan heard a voice, sounding very softly in her ear.

At the same time, a very gentle hand gently brushed away the messy hair on her face, then took a handkerchief soaked in warm water and carefully wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. That feeling made her feel a little more comfortable.

However, the dull pain in my heart has not diminished in the slightest.

Nan Yan's throat was dry from the discomfort. After struggling for a long time, she finally opened her eyes slowly. Sure enough, she saw Ran Xiaoyu sitting on the edge of the bed, lowering her head and taking care of her carefully.

As soon as he saw her wake up, he immediately said in surprise: "My Lady, you are finally awake."

“…”

"You've been unconscious all day."

“…”

"Are you okay?"

“…”

Nan Yan had just woken up from a coma and was still not fully awake. Her eyes were confused and dazed. She stared blankly at Ran Xiaoyu. After a long while, she said, "Xiaoyu..."

"The servant is here."

"I--"

"My lady, you passed out and slept for almost a whole day."

"I slept... for a day..."

Nan Yan thought in a daze, that is to say, she had been sleeping before, so everything she saw and heard before was just a dream?

It’s a dream!

Thinking of this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a small smile on her face: "Great--"

However, before she could finish her words, she saw the sad expression on Ran Xiaoyu's face in the sunlight, and her big eyes, with distinct black and white, were clearly a little red and swollen when she looked at her.

Nan Yan's breath suddenly choked.

She trembled a little and said, "Yes, is it true?"

“…”

"Isn't it a dream?"

“…”

"The Jian family, could it be that the Jian family is really—"

As soon as she heard her say this, Ran Xiaoyu knew that because she showed a happy expression at that moment, she must have thought that everything was fake.

But--

She choked up and whispered, "My Lady, everything is true."

“…”

"The Jian family has indeed been wiped out."

As soon as the words fell, Nan Yan's face suddenly turned pale, as if all the blood in her body had been drained away in an instant. Ran Xiaoyu was so frightened that she quickly stopped talking. Just as she was about to help her, she heard Nan Yan scream "Ah!" and she suddenly fell to the head of the bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Empress!"

Ran Xiaoyu screamed in fright.

Nan Yan was speechless, only feeling heartbroken and her vision went dark. In the darkness, familiar faces kept flashing by.

Mr. Jian, a serious and old-fashioned man who is also dedicated to the public good...

The gentle and kind Lady Jiahe...

Cute little pig...

And the upright Jian Ruojun...

They, they are all, all, dead?!

No!

The severe pain spreading from the bottom of her heart made Nan Yan feel like she was dying. Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She grabbed her chest. She knew she couldn't bear it, but she had no way to escape and struggle. She could only endure it all.

"No, I won't!"

She gritted her teeth, the taste of blood between her lips and teeth. She even bit the tip of her tongue, but she was no longer aware of it. Only tears flowed wildly, mixing with the blood. The salty and bitter taste made her even more unbearable.

She kept shaking her head and denying it.

"No, they didn't, didn't..."

"Your Majesty..."

Ran Xiaoyu's eyes were red with anger, but she couldn't say anything. She could only support Nan Yan and let her sit back against the head of the bed. Looking at her pale face, which even had a hint of death in it, she knew that the changes in the Jian family had dealt her a huge blow.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have fainted last night when she heard that the Jian family was wiped out.

Turns out, being able to pass out is a good thing.

At least, she doesn't have to endure all this consciously. She is already so weak and has suffered so many blows. Now, she has to endure all this even more.

Ran Xiaoyu was so distressed that she could only protect her with both hands and said softly, "My Lady, don't be too sad."

Nan Yan didn't say anything.

She just clenched her teeth, but a low cry of pain came from between her teeth and throat.

She really couldn't bear such pain.

The Jian family, why the Jian family?

Every one of them is a good person. They have given me care and tenderness when I was helpless and confused. In fact, if it weren't for them, I would definitely not be who I am today.

But why?

She leaned in Ran Xiaoyu's arms, her tears soaking her clothes, and soon Ran Xiaoyu felt a chill on her chest. She kept asking: "Why, why did they end up like this? Why?"

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu couldn't answer.

She wanted to know too.

Is it true that this world is really upside down and good people can never live long?

Just then, she heard footsteps outside.

She was very familiar with the footsteps, having heard them so often. However, this time, they were different from the previous times she came. The footsteps before were vigorous and orderly, while today's footsteps were heavy and a little chaotic.

Just like how he feels at this moment.

Ran Xiaoyu turned around and saw Zhu Feng's tall figure standing at the door.

In the past, when I saw his tall figure, I always felt at ease, as majestic as a mountain. But looking at him today, his broad shoulders seemed to sag slightly.

It seems like something is pressing down on it and it can't bear it anymore.

"emperor……"

Ran Xiaoyu said softly.

When she heard her voice, Nan Yan trembled slightly in her arms. Before she raised her head, Zhu Feng had already slowly walked over.

As he got closer, he saw that his eyes were also bloodshot and red.

Obviously, he didn't sleep all night either.

He said in a deep voice: "Go down."

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu thought about it, then stood up and walked out.

They were the only two left in the room.

Zhu Feng stood beside the bed, looking down at Nan Yan who was leaning against the headboard. At this moment, her face was covered with tears and she even looked embarrassed, but she refused to look at him. As soon as he approached, she turned her face away.

Seeing that there was even a tear hanging from the corner of her eye, Zhu Feng frowned slightly and reached out to wipe it for her.

However, as soon as the hand approached, Nan Yan immediately turned her face away.

Escaped his hand.

Zhu Feng's hand froze in mid-air, his fingers trembled slightly, and his knuckles turned white.

He said in a deep voice: "Nan Yan."

After calling her, he took a deep breath, as if suppressing some emotion, and then said, "I know this incident has hit you hard."

“…”

"I also——"

"Why?"

Nan Yan suddenly interrupted him.

Zhu Feng frowned: "What?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, making them both suffocate at that moment.

Nan Yan slowly raised her head and looked at him straight in the eyes: "Why do you do this?"
