He slaughtered his way through the world, yet only to her was he gentle and restrained, showering her with a lifetime of deep affection!
...Chapter 2043 One more thing——
Zhu Feng walked out of the courtyard where Nan Yan lived and stopped for a moment when passing by the house where Xue Yun lived.
When I turned around, I saw a candle still lit in the house.
The faint light cast a slender figure on the window.
He hesitated.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the door creak open and a flash of light shone out from the door. When he turned around, he saw Xue Yun coming out.
In the moonlight, her face was pale.
Just like that night.
She walked over and bowed her head to Zhu Feng, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment and looked at her: "Are you still asleep?"
"……yes."
"Rest early."
“…”
"Why, do you have something else to say to me?"
“…”
Xue Yun kept her head down. Ever since that night at Yumen Pass, Zhu Feng had never met her alone again. In fact, the two of them had never been close to each other again.
What happened that night seemed like a dream.
If the handkerchief had not returned to her hands, she would even suspect that it was all an illusion.
So just now, when she saw him, she came out involuntarily.
But when we meet, I don’t know what to say.
After hesitating for a while, he said softly, "Your Majesty... Is there anything you want to tell me?"
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Go check the imperial concubine's pulse more often in the next two days."
“…”
"She's been here for over seven months. I'm worried about her."
"……yes."
Looking at her lowered face and slightly trembling eyelashes, Zhu Feng couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
Turn around and look at Xue Yun.
"One more thing—"
|
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Because the weather has been extremely hot these days, and the queen has already booked the courtyard, the emperor decided to let everyone rest for a while before leaving.
So the next day, I still stayed here.
Nan Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Early in the morning, as usual, Xue Yun came to check her pulse. After a careful examination for a while, Xue Yun said softly, "Your Majesty, you have been worrying too much these past two days."
Nan Yan was putting her sleeves down.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"As we get closer to the capital, I naturally have more things to worry about."
"Even so, your Majesty still has to take care of the pregnancy."
"Fetus, is there anything wrong?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Your pulse is very stable, which means the fetus is also healthy."
"That's good. I'm relieved now."
"But Madam, you should avoid worrying too much. If your body is affected, it will have an impact on your future childbirth."
"oh……"
Nan Yan nodded without saying anything.
Xue Yun took a pen and paper, went to the table beside him, wrote a few words, and handed it to her, saying, "This is a new prescription I made for the Empress. I've added a few more herbs than before, and it focuses on calming the mind. I'd like Aunt Tongyun to take a look at it. If it works, let them use it."
Aunt Tongyun took it and looked at it. It was indeed a good prescription. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master Xue."
Nan Yan looked at Xue Yun and said with a smile, "Mr. Xue has devoted so much to me. When the child is born safely, I will not treat him unfairly."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yun hurriedly said, "I am only doing my duty as a doctor and I dare not ask for a reward."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."
“…”
"When you enter the Imperial Hospital in the future, if you do your job well, you will also receive great rewards."
“…”
"Just do your duty."
When Xue Yun heard this, he looked at Nan Yan's smiling eyes again, was silent for a while, and said softly, "Yes."
Just then, the queen arrived with her entourage.
Xue Yun was so frightened that he lowered his head and quickly retreated. He saw the sun shining brightly and Xu Miaoyin walked in with great grace.
Nan Yan hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Xu Miaoyin grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let's skip these formalities."
"Thank you, Queen."
Xu Miaoyin turned around again and saw Xue Yun standing in the corner with his head lowered. She said, "Is this Mr. Xue?"
Xue Yun knelt down hurriedly: "I pay my respects to the Queen."
"What are you doing here?"
"I have been ordered to take the pulse of the Imperial Concubine."
"The Emperor asked you to do this?"
"yes."
"It seems that the emperor trusts you very much."
Xue Yun lowered his head and didn't dare to respond.
Xu Miaoyin glanced at her again before saying, "Alright, you can go down. I have a few private words to say to the imperial concubine."
"yes."
Xue Yun stood up and hurried out.
Xu Miaoyin watched her figure disappear out the door, then turned back to look at Xiang Nanyan and said with a smile, "He came to take your pulse, what did he say?"
Nan Yan replied: "It's nothing, my body is fine and the child is fine."
Xu Miaoyin nodded and smiled, "That's good."
Ran Xiaoyu served tea and snacks. Nan Yan suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance on Xu Miaoyin and whispered, "What kind of fragrance did the queen use? It smells so special."
"Incense? I don't have any incense on me."
She thought for a moment and immediately smiled, "Oh, I'm afraid it's because I just played in the peach forest in the backyard for a while and I got the fruit fragrance."
"Is there a peach forest behind?"
"Yes, I think the owner of this place had them planted. In the spring you can enjoy the peach blossoms, but in this season, you can enjoy the beautiful sight of peaches hanging from the branches."
“Oh, that’s a beautiful sight.”
"Yes, compared to flowers, I prefer the scenery of abundant fruits. I stop to admire them and forget about time, which is why I am infected by that kind of flavor."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I am the same. I also prefer fruits to flowers."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her belly and smiled, "But you don't have to go over there to see the scenery. The best scenery right now is on you."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
But he immediately put on a smile: "You are joking, Madam."
"I'm not joking,"
Xu Miaoyin looked at her belly, her expression seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and she murmured: "I used to..."
Nan Yan suddenly stopped talking.
Of course she knew that what happened to Xu Miaoyin was the most painful experience.
After all, she had experienced it once.
But immediately, Xu Miaoyin pulled herself out of the vortex of the past and smiled at her: "I lost my composure."
"My lady...don't say that."
"No matter what, I still have a good son, Chengxuan. He is a good son."
“…”
"My own hardships are nothing to worry about."
“…”
"I just hope that he can live a peaceful and smooth life."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's heart sank even more than before.
Last night, Xu Miaoyin left without finishing her words. It wasn't because she didn't want to say it, but because she was giving herself some time to think.
Now, it’s natural to ask yourself the answer.
