Chapter 1945 Heart aches
Those pure eyes seemed to be about to cry.
That look made Zhu Feng's heart sink.
Xue Yun smiled and said softly, "No, nothing, I don't have anything to say."
After saying that, he lowered his head.
“…”
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng felt a touch of something in his heart, and he vaguely understood something. He thought for a moment, then stood up, brushed off his clothes, and said, "It's nothing else, you can stay here and rest. Oh, by the way—"
As he said this, he looked at her hands.
He saw when she was applying medicine on herself just now that her white and slender hands were covered with blisters caused by burns.
Burns are much more serious than sword and knife injuries.
Just now, when she was banging on the door with the burning thing, she seemed to have no consciousness at all. After coming in, she kept treating her wounds with her blistered hands without saying a word.
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "Take care of your injury."
After saying that, he turned and left.
“…”
Xue Yun stood there, looking up blankly at his back as it quickly disappeared into the night. A cool breeze blew in from the open door. Xue Yun reached out and touched his face. Only then did he feel a little burning.
I don’t know if it was the wound on my hand or the warmth on my cheek.
But my heart aches.

The night passed quickly.
But for some people who stay awake all night, this night seems extremely long.
For example, Xue Yun.
For example, Nan Yan, who was far away in the Duwei Mansion.
She barely slept the entire night, only managing a nap at dawn. But upon hearing the sound of the wind outside, she immediately sat up in bed and asked, "Is the Emperor back?"
Ran Xiaoyu put her hands aside and couldn't help but sigh.
"My Lady, you've asked me this eight hundred times this morning."
"I, how could I have that?"
"Not yet! The Emperor and the others haven't returned yet."
After saying that, Ran Xiaoyu stood up and pulled the corner of the quilt that had slipped off her shoulders back up onto her shoulders, muttering softly, "How can it be so strange that a day without seeing you feels like three years?"
Hearing her complain like this, Nan Yan also laughed.
He said softly, "I'm not, I'm just worried."
"What is there to worry about? The emperor brought so many people with him, and Ye Zheng is with him. What could go wrong?"
"I know, but I'm worried for some reason."
"Is it because of a nightmare?"
Because she had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently, Ran Xiaoyu was worried that she would not be able to sleep well at night, so she simply stayed in her room to keep watch.
As a result, she finally fell asleep, but after a while, she was tortured by nightmares and kept murmuring and sweating profusely.
Ran Xiaoyu said worriedly: "My lady, what did you dream about? Why are you so scared?"
Thinking of the nightmare last night, Nan Yan frowned.
She said softly, "No, it's nothing."
“……?”
"It was just a sea of fire, and it was very uncomfortable."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her quietly for a while, then said softly, "Your Majesty has been with the Emperor for so many years, you should know that he is the true emperor, different from ordinary people."
“…”
"If it weren't for Laojun's Samadhi True Fire, no one would be able to do anything to him."
Hearing her words which were half joking, half comforting, Nan Yan laughed.
"What is Samadhi True Fire? It's not like refining Monkey King."
Ran Xiaoyu also laughed and said, "Our emperor is a bit like Monkey King. No matter where he goes, there are people helping him. Think about this time when he cleared out the bandit company in Hot Moon Bay. All the bandits surrendered to him."
“…”
"So don't worry, Madam. Good fortune will come to you."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'll just believe you."
But after laughing, she looked outside and said worriedly, "I don't know when they will be back. When they left, they said they would only be gone for a day or two, so they should be back today."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "If he comes back, someone must have come to report it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps outside.
It was the little eunuch who heard the blessing and ran to the door.
"Empress!"
Nan Yan was suddenly delighted, thinking that Zhu Feng had returned, and hurriedly asked, "Is the Emperor back?"
Ting Fuqi panted and said, "Not yet. The emperor sent someone back to deliver the message."
“…”
The person didn't come back, but someone came back to pass on the message.
Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan immediately stood up. Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly helped her get dressed, then opened the door and let Tingfu and his men come in.
He was a personal soldier in the imperial camp.
When he came in, he knelt down and bowed to Nan Yan: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan simply raised her hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Where's the Emperor?"
"The Emperor sent me back to tell him that the peace talks with the Parthian envoy are not going well and we will have to stay in White Dragon City for another day or two."
"Will it take another day or two?"
Nan Yan frowned when she heard that.
She immediately asked, "What on earth are they talking about?"
"this--"
The guard hesitated for a moment.
Nan Yan came back to her senses immediately. Although she and Zhu Feng had discussed the purpose of the Parthian envoy's visit and knew it well, she was a concubine and the harem could not interfere in politics, let alone ask about these matters.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Well, I won't embarrass you. Just answer me about the trade matters. Did the discussion go smoothly?"
The personal soldier thought that he couldn't keep offending the imperial concubine.
Then he responded carefully: "It went smoothly."
"oh……"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
The main purpose of the Parthian Empire sending special envoys should be to discuss trade matters. If this matter goes smoothly, then the problems should be due to some other matters.
for example--
What Zhu Feng wants to inquire about.
In fact, this is what she is most worried about. Someone will investigate the truth of the matter, but how Zhu Feng will be affected is a big deal.
She asked, "Then, Your Majesty, how about that?"
When the personal soldier heard this, his eyelids twitched.
You know, when he was sent back this time, Lord Ying Shao and even Lord Ye Zheng came personally to warn him repeatedly, asking him to be careful with his words and not to reveal what happened in Lianxin Hall last night.
So he hurriedly said, "The emperor is fine."
"Really?"
"Of course, how dare I deceive the Imperial Concubine?"
“…”
Nan Yan fell silent and looked at the imperial guard with a slightly frown.
Although he said so, and she also understood Zhu Feng's ability and knew there shouldn't be any big problems, for some reason, she felt indescribably depressed.
She thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did the Emperor have something for you to tell me alone?"
The guard shook his head: "No."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes became darker.
