Chapter 2799 You should take a rest for a while
Nan Yan only breathed a sigh of relief after everyone left.
Looking back at Zhu Chengxuan, I saw that he was frowning with a look of annoyance on his face.
As soon as she saw his expression and recalled his attitude towards those concubines who were talking and clamoring, Nan Yan knew that he must be regretting his angry behavior just now.
To be honest, human nature is easily corrupted.
Kindness, gentleness, elegance... and other qualities, although good, represent more restraint and forbearance. People need to overcome the barbarity and evil in their nature to achieve such qualities.
However, once people have tasted the sweetness brought by evil and barbarism in dealing with people and things, they are no longer willing to restrain themselves.
After all, gentleness, kindness, and elegance... these beautiful qualities of the heart are all for others.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Once people have the power to kill, they find that killing can solve many problems. It is much easier than persuading people one by one, communicating slowly, or even scheming with others to achieve the result. That person will become obsessed with this simplicity and efficiency and will no longer be willing to restrain and endure himself.
Even Zhu Chengxuan, who has been kind and gentle since childhood, will suffer from this kind of sequelae after starting a killing spree.
But he still knows how to repent.
I will also regret my momentary outburst of anger.
His nature is still kind, but in life, no one can predict when one will get lost. Some people can find themselves, while others cannot.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Highness, it is enough for you to know who you are and what you want to do."
Zhu Chengxuan glanced at her and nodded slightly.
The two of them walked into Yonghe Palace together.
Although she had been busy outside all night, Nan Yan's heart was always here. As soon as she entered the main hall, she immediately walked quickly to the bed.
The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the smell of blood had already dissipated to the point where it was barely noticeable.
Concubine Shun Xinqing was sitting by the bed.
Her eyes were also red, with obvious dark circles under them from not getting enough rest, but she was full of energy. When she heard Nan Yan's footsteps, she immediately stood up and walked over: "Your Highness, you're back."
"How is the Emperor?"
Nan Yan asked as she walked to the bed.
Zhu Feng on the bed looked almost the same as when she left, except that now, the sunlight shone through the window onto his face, making it easier to see the paleness from blood loss on his face.
Nan Yan's heart felt like it was stabbed.
Xin Qing came over and said softly, "This morning, Imperial Physician Wang and the others changed the emperor's medicine again."
“…”
"But, he still hasn't woken up."
Nan Yan frowned.
She slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at Zhu Feng's pale face, his tightly closed eyes, and his drooping, long eyelashes.
He was so quiet that it didn't seem real.
Especially when Nan Yan reached out to touch his cheek, she could clearly feel that his cheek was very thin and slightly sunken.
But he looked so strong, standing before my eyes like a mountain.
It turned out that he had become so thin at some unknown time, before he and anyone else could react.
No one noticed.
Everyone had become accustomed to his tall and strong figure, and to the way he stood like a mountain in the face of all difficulties and disasters, protecting everyone around him. So when he fell down at this moment, Nan Yan realized that there were so many hardships and difficulties in the world.
And I only had to face all this for one night.
Originally, she hoped that he would wake up soon, but at this moment, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Nan Yan's mind -
You, please don't wake up so soon.
Sleep a little longer, rest a little longer.
I can help you deal with these things, I can help you cope with those difficulties, and I can also endure the nights you endured.
I am not a woman who only knows how to enjoy pleasure and sit in the harem to enjoy your favor.
You, take a rest for a while longer.
However, after resting, you still have to wake up and come back to me in good health. I can hold on during the days you are in a coma, but I can't hold on in a world without you.
You will wake up.
You should rest for a while.
The entire Yonghe Palace fell into a strange silence. Concubine Shun Xinqing stood aside, watching Nan Yan look at the emperor with her eyes lowered. After a while, she seemed to have realized something.
What she saw more clearly was the imperial concubine's red eyes and the blackness beneath them.
She said softly, "My Lady, you should also have a good rest."
“…”
Nan Yan turned around and looked at her. Concubine Shun said, "Even if the Emperor falls, the Empress is still in charge. If the Empress falls again, there will be chaos."
Although she never cared about the affairs of the previous dynasty, she didn't even care much about the affairs of the harem.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.
How could it be possible that the maid who had been with Zhu Feng since childhood knew nothing?
Nan Yan smiled gently at her and said, "I can hold on, but I'm sorry to trouble you, Sister Shunfei, these days."
"Don't worry, my lady."
Concubine Shun said softly, "I will definitely protect the emperor."
Hearing her say this, Nan Yan felt more relieved.
She stood up, but perhaps because she stood up too quickly, she immediately felt dizzy and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, there were so many people around her who came to support her. Only then did Nan Yan say honestly, "I'm a little tired. Help me to go to the side hall to sleep for a while."
Everyone around was eager to see her and rushed over to her.
As Nan Yan entered the side hall, she turned back and said to Zhu Chengxuan, "Your Highness, go back and rest for a while, but don't fall into a deep sleep. Also, have Eunuch Yu keep in touch with the Nine Gates' eunuchs and General Mingwei. If there's any unusual movement outside the city, send word back immediately to inform me and you."
"I know."
Zhu Chengxuan nodded and said, "You don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty. The people of Dian should not make any moves for the time being."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
Zhu Chengxuan told Nan Yan everything He Yi had said to him in the carriage.
Nan Yan felt relieved after hearing this.
Then, he frowned slightly again.
What are the people of Dian waiting for?
Even if the nine gates were closed immediately, they would not be able to get any news from inside the city. However, seeing that the nine gates inside and outside the city had been closed and could not be opened, they should have been able to foresee that the assassination plan had been realized.
So why haven't they taken any action yet?
What are you waiting for?
What else are they waiting for inside the capital at this time?
At this moment, Nan Yan's breathing suddenly tightened.
