Chapter 3268 The old uncle has arrived!
After all, we still have to get through this hurdle.
But no matter how important this hurdle was, Nan Yan would definitely not allow Zhu Feng to stay up late tonight, so she put on a stern face and dragged Zhu Feng out of the study.
After returning to the room, she personally helped Zhu Feng wash up, and then helped him to bed to rest.
Although Zhu Feng was worried, he couldn't help but feel angry and amused when he saw her being so cautious, as if she were a fragile porcelain doll. He said, "What do you think of me? Even if I'm weaker, I'm still better than you. Do you really think I'm a patient?"
Nan Yan glared at him, then smiled and coaxed him: "I treat the emperor as a treasure."
Zhu Feng couldn't help but shudder and said, "Don't give me that. The child is already this big and you still say these things. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw his awkward look. She went to wash up and then got on the bed and lay down next to Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng took her in his arms and blew out the candle beside the bed.
At this time, it was already past midnight, and it was pitch black outside. The sound of the wind in the distance sounded like the roar of an evil dragon in the sky, which made people feel a little scared. Nan Yan buried her face in his arms, and it was a long time before the wind stopped.
Everything is quiet.
At this time, I'm afraid even the stars in the sky are asleep.
But just when Nan Yan drooped her eyelids and was about to fall into a sweet dream, she heard Zhu Feng's breathing getting faster and faster, and finally, he let out a long sigh.
Nan Yan immediately raised her head from his arms and saw that Zhu Feng was still awake, with a pair of eyes flashing with clarity in the dim light.
Nan Yan frowned: "Why isn't the emperor asleep yet?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "Just go to sleep."
Although he said so and closed his eyes, his breathing was clearly still tight and he was awake, with no intention of falling asleep. Nan Yan sighed and put her hand on his chest. Feeling the strong beating under his chest, she whispered, "Are you still thinking about White Tiger City?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and finally opened his eyes.
Nan Yan said, "Even if we need to rush, we won't have to rush overnight. Your Majesty, please have a good rest. It won't be too late to think of a solution tomorrow."
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time again.
Then he sighed deeply and said, "Actually, I understand in my heart that it's useless to think about it."
“…”
"To eliminate Arslan and the Eastern Chaga tribe in White Tiger City in one fell swoop, there is no other way except to follow our previous plan."
“…”
"But now, Arslan wants to fight, and the rain won't come."
At this point, he gave a bitter smile and said, "It seems that the will of the Emperor, I, will not work."
This was the first time he showed his lack of confidence in himself.
Nan Yan quickly stood up, looked down at him, and said seriously, "How could the emperor say that?"
“…”
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the will of the Son of Heaven is naturally the will of Heaven. However—"
Zhu Feng glanced at her: "But what?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Even in the capital, in the court, some ministers would oppose the emperor's will. The emperor would have to discuss it with them, convince them, and then implement his will. Isn't there always a lot of twists and turns?"
“…”
"Now that you've arrived in the northwest, why has Your Majesty become so unsure of himself?"
Zhu Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not that I don't have confidence in myself. It's just that—what you said are all trivial matters. Even if there are ministers in the court who oppose my wishes, there are also ministers who will support me. But this time, there was no such thing."
Nan Yan frowned.
This is true.
Even if Arslan and the others wanted to fight, Chen Zixiao and his men were no pushovers and could naturally resist the enemy. However, if it didn't rain, who could help him?
You can't summon Lei Gong and Dian Mu.
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing her sigh, the light in Zhu Feng's eyes dimmed considerably. But he didn't want to show his powerlessness and helplessness to others, especially not wanting the young woman in his arms to worry about him. So, he said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't think about this tonight. You should go to bed early too."
"……Um."
Nan Yan nodded gently, lay down again, and snuggled in Zhu Feng's arms. The two of them were like vines entangled with each other.
After a long time, she whispered to him, "Your Majesty, please have a good sleep. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, someone will be here to help you."
Zhu Feng smiled.
I was thinking, could it be possible that the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning would really come to help me?
But he didn't say much. He patted Nan Yan's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
They slept until the next day. Both of them stayed up very late at night and woke up late the next morning as expected. When Nan Yan opened her eyes, it was already light outside.
She rubbed her eyes and turned around to see that Zhu Feng had also opened his eyes. Seeing that it was bright outside, he frowned.
When the sun rises, they have to face the problems that were not resolved last night again.
Under normal circumstances, he would have jumped up and gone about his business without stopping. Even in the cold winter, the warm quilt and Nan Yan acting coquettishly in it would not allow him to linger for a moment. But now, he lay there motionless. After a while, he even put his hands across his face to block the light in front of him.
Now, we have reached a dead end.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan felt sad and distressed.
Just as she was about to bend down, hug him and whisper a few words of comfort, she heard hurried footsteps outside. Thinking that it must be Ruoshui and the others coming to help them get up, Nan Yan whispered in Zhu Feng's ear: "Your Majesty, please get up first. Outside -"
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Shunzi knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng took his hands off his face, his brows twisted into a knot.
You know, although Xiao Shunzi usually follows him to serve him, whenever he rests at Nan Yan's place, it is the people around Nan Yan who serve him. Moreover, even if they want to wake him up, they can only stand outside the door and call him softly. Xiao Shunzi actually came directly to knock on the door and shout loudly, which was no different from smashing the door.
Even Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
Xiao Shunzi has been with Zhu Feng for so long, there is no way he doesn’t understand this rule. What is he doing?
However, Zhu Feng was already in a bad mood. If he made such a fuss, he might get beaten. Nan Yan immediately spoke first, unhappy: "Shun Zi, you are becoming more and more unruly, aren't you?"
Xiao Shunzi heard the voice and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old uncle has arrived!"
