Chapter 1425 Making wedding clothes

She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng with a twinkling gaze: "Did I just talk in my sleep?"

"Um."

"Then, then—what did I say?"

“…”

Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then suddenly chuckled and said, "What else can I say? It was just a bunch of mumbling, and I didn't hear it clearly."

“…”

Nan Yan felt as if a huge stone in her heart was suddenly removed, and her heart suddenly contracted and hurt.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Feng looked at her again and said softly, "What's wrong? What kind of nightmare did you have?"

For some reason, he was so gentle to her now. It was obvious that what she said to him in the Cabinet yesterday was premeditated, and she knew clearly how he would treat her. But when she really faced him like this, Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Zhu Feng has never been a person who is easily gentle.

She also remembered how disappointed and angry he was on the day she had a miscarriage, and how he said those words to her -

"You shouldn't be in my heart."

"You are no longer in my heart!"

But now, everything seems to have passed, the two of them have "put aside their past grudges", and Zhu Feng has returned to the past, the one who doted on her in every way.

But her heart is no longer the same.

This feeling made her feel very conflicted and filled with indescribable pain.

She gritted her teeth so hard that it hurt even herself, then she managed to raise her head and said calmly, "It's nothing, just an ordinary nightmare."

“…”

"As soon as I saw the emperor, I forgot everything."

Zhu Feng looked at her and smiled a little.

He reached out his hand and wiped away the fine beads of cold sweat on her forehead, saying, "Just forget it."

“…”

Nan Yan stared at him blankly.

I felt his hands covered with thick calluses gently stroking my face. Although he tried his best to restrain his strength and his touch was not gentle, the roughness made me feel a strange tenderness.

Nan Yan looked at him and said nothing.

At this time, Ran Xiaoyu's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

Nan Yan quickly turned her eyes away and saw that they were already at the gate, probably waiting for her to wake up so that they could help her get up. They had been waiting for a long time.

She spoke immediately, but her voice was unusually hoarse. She coughed twice before saying, "Come in."

"yes."

Ran Xiaoyu immediately came in with Nian Qiu, holding a hot water towel.

He bowed to them and put down what he was holding.

Seeing them all come in, Zhu Feng also stood up and said to Nan Yan, "Okay, you can do your thing. I have to go back to the imperial study. I came here just to tell you something."

"What?"

Nan Yan raised her head and looked at him.

Zhu Feng smiled slightly: "You forgot what I told you, tomorrow is the winter solstice."

“…”

"Let's go out for a walk."

Nan Yan was stunned again before she remembered.

Zhu Feng had told her before that he would take her and Xinping out of the palace for a walk on the winter solstice. She used this as an excuse to get the opportunity to walk around the palace freely, but she forgot about it.

Now, when he mentioned this, Nan Yan felt an indescribable sour feeling in her heart.

She nodded gently: "I understand."

“…”

"Get some rest, don't be too tired as soon as you leave the palace tomorrow."

"……yes."

Zhu Feng patted her shoulder gently, then turned and walked out.

When he left, he happened to pass in front of Ran Xiaoyu. At this time, Ran Xiaoyu also looked up at him, but her expression was conflicted. She didn't even dare to look into his eyes and quickly lowered her head.

Zhu Feng didn't care about her and walked out of Yikun Palace.

After he left, Ran Xiaoyu carefully raised her head and looked at Nan Yan, who was leaning against the head of the bed and still looked a little dazed. She saw that her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

This situation continued until the afternoon.

Aunt Tongyun saw her sitting by the window, staring at the bleak scenery outside in a daze, and urged her to go out for a walk to relax, but Ran Xiaoyu knew that Nan Yan, who had already been to the Cabinet Treasury and got the "truth", would never go out again.

She just stayed there quietly.

Little did anyone know that beneath her apparent calmness, her heart was filled with turmoil.

In the evening, an unexpected guest arrived.

A young palace maid in the Yanxi Palace plays the zither.

She was a new face in the palace and had not interacted with the Empress and the Imperial Concubine much, so when she entered the Yikun Palace, she was timid and cautiously saluted Nan Yan: "Your servant pays homage to the Imperial Concubine."

Nan Yan turned and looked at her: "Are you a maid in the Yanxi Palace?"

"yes."

"Serving Madam Qin--Mrs. Qin?"

"yes."

"What are you doing here?"

"Our lady heard that the Imperial Concubine had returned to Yikun Palace and was in good health, so she specially asked this servant to bring a gift to the Imperial Concubine."

“…”

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

Gift?

I just returned to Yiku Palace and felt a little better. Is it worth it for her to send someone to send me a gift?

Besides, she and I don't have a very good relationship.

However, the man who played the zither really came forward with a tray covered with a cloth in his hand. Ran Xiaoyu walked over and took it.

Nan Yan said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. Sorry for the trouble."

"Yes. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Nong Qin hurriedly retreated.

Ran Xiaoyu was holding the tray, also somewhat confused. She walked over to Nan Yan and asked, "Madam, what is Qin Ruolan going to do?"

“…”

Nan Yan didn't say anything, but reached out and lifted the cloth on the tray.

But I saw a set of clothes underneath.

"What does this mean?"

“…”

Nan Yan still didn't say anything, because she didn't quite understand. Ran Xiaoyu put down the tray, picked up the dress, and checked it carefully. There was no dangerous thing like a needle. It was just an ordinary dress.

Nan Yan was silent for a while, then smiled faintly.

Ran Xiaoyu asked, "My Lady, what does Qin Ruolan mean?"

Nan Yan said calmly, "What she meant was that so many people, busy with so many things, were just making things easier for me."

"she……"

"It seems that she also knew that we knew she went to change the medicine, and she took advantage of her."

"That's her own business, and has nothing to do with us."

“…”

"Now that she has sent this dress, what exactly is she going to do?"

Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "She realized that they were preparing a wedding dress for me. Now, she actually sent me a piece of clothing. What she meant was that she would continue to do so."

Ran Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat: "You mean, she will also -"
