Chapter 890 Doubts

The Queen, as always, has a keen eye.

Indeed, her loss of composure at that moment was due to that cup of tea. Before she came here, or rather, ever since she discovered that so-called "suspicious point" in the diary, she had always believed that there must be something wrong with the tea.

It must be the tea that caused Zhu Feng to be so cold and distant towards him these days.

But unexpectedly, tea was fine.

So, everything—it’s real.

She just couldn't accept the fact that Zhu Feng had changed, had become cold towards her, and had fallen in love with someone else.

It turns out that loving someone brings more than just sweetness.

There is also the same bitterness as sweetness...

Nan Yan sat in the pavilion, staring blankly outside.

Ran Xiaoyu stood behind her, quietly, until a drizzle started outside.

This is the first light rain since the beginning of autumn this year.

Although the weather was still very hot, and even after the rain, the water vapor brought an indescribable feeling of stuffiness, but sitting in such a pavilion with wind blowing on all sides, with the wind constantly blowing raindrops onto the face, it still made people very uncomfortable.

You might catch a cold.

So, Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "My Lady, let's go back."

Nan Yan sat there without moving, still looking at the rain outside.

"Mother?"

“…”

"My queen, the weather is bad now. It would be bad if you catch a cold."

Nan Yan remained motionless and quiet for a long time. Then she said, "Xiao Yu."

"The servant is here."

"Tell me, when a person loves someone, how long does it take for that passion to fade away?"

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu felt a lump in her throat.

No matter how slow she was, she understood what Nan Yan was saying.

She was saying that Zhu Feng no longer loved her.

Ran Xiaoyu said with some distress: "My Queen, the Emperor—"

Nan Yan didn't seem to really want her answer. She murmured, "So his feelings are gone so quickly."

“…”

"But I, I still——"

When she said this, her voice became hoarse and hot tears welled up in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.

Through tearful eyes, I looked at the silver-grey rain curtain in front of me. That greyness was just like my own life at this moment.

"Why does a person's love come so hard, but go away so quickly?"

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu was speechless.

She had no way to answer this question, which might be the question that everyone in this world who had loved or hated wanted to ask.

She just slowly bent down, half supporting and half hugging Nan Yan.

Nan Yan slowly turned her face to her arms, and tears that no one saw slowly dripped down, soaking Ran Xiaoyu's body, and soon soaking her clothes.

The coolness she felt on her skin made Ran Xiaoyu feel sad.

At this moment, there was still a hint of unpleasant atmosphere in Yangxingzhai.

Although everyone had left, Zhu Feng's feeling of being torn apart in his body did not improve at all. In fact, his headache became even worse.

Seeing him like this, Feng Shu hurried to his side.

"emperor."

As she approached, the fragrance from her body made Zhu Feng feel a little more comfortable.

He looked up and glanced at her.

Even though Feng Shu had just gone through what happened and even the canonization hadn't taken place yet, it was not appropriate to bring it up at this time. She only said gently, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to rest here for a while?"

“…Alright.”

He said, and held out his hand to her.

Feng Shu hurriedly came forward, held his arm, and intentionally or unintentionally, pressed her whole body against him. Feeling the softness, Zhu Feng's heart was slightly moved.

Feng Shu helped him walk to the bed, took off his shoes and socks, held his feet and placed them on the bed, then said softly: "Your Majesty, let me serve you..."

“…”

Zhu Feng glanced at her.

However, the strange feeling in his heart surged up again, and this time, it was even stronger, not only making him feel dizzy, but also making him feel like vomiting.

He waved his hand: "I'm tired, I just want to sleep for a while."

“…”

Feng Shu's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, she still had the same charming smile on her face as always, and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he helped Zhu Feng lie down.

Zhu Feng closed his eyes, and soon, he fell asleep amidst the fragrance emanating from the person beside him.

Looking at his handsome sleeping face, Feng Shu showed a complicated smile on her face.

Happy and sad.

The good news was that those stupid women actually wanted to attack her today, but fortunately, she was prepared.

"Humph, just you guys?"

She held a fan in her hand and gently fanned Zhu Feng while sneering, "Want to shake me? If you don't have the ability, don't show off in front of me!"

Especially when she thought of Concubine Kang's miserable appearance and the Queen's helpless look on her face, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

After today, no one in the harem would dare to attack me again.

But the worry is——

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked down at the man on the bed.

"Why……"

"Why, it's been almost two months, and you still won't touch me?"

"You still protect her."

"In the end, are your feelings for her too deep, or do you have no feelings for me at all?"

Thinking of this, for the first time, she felt a little insecure about her appearance. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the bronze mirror on the dressing table next to her. What was reflected in it was a beautiful face that would make any man in the world feel moved when he saw it.

What's more, there is——

She took a deep breath, turned around, looked at Zhu Feng, and said softly, "She is just an ordinary-looking girl. In this world, which noble family doesn't have one or two concubines like her?"

"How could you be obsessed with her?"

"Or, what I did...isn't enough?"

Thinking of this, she became a little restless. She slowly put down the fan in her hand and looked at the man on the bed. Even in his sleep, he looked a little uneasy and frowned slightly.

His breath sank.

She gritted her teeth and slowly took off her clothes.

As her coat was taken off, a snow-white body was revealed. She slowly bent down and lay beside Zhu Feng, took one of his hands and placed it on her body.

"emperor……"

She leaned in front of Zhu Feng, opened her cherry lips slightly, and breathed a burst of fragrance towards his face.

“Hmm—”

Zhu Feng seemed to feel something in his sleep.
