Chapter 1200 He won’t come!
As I was walking around a corner, suddenly, someone bumped into me.
"oops!"
The man was caught off guard and fell down.
Zhu Feng frowned immediately and looked down at the dark figure. The voice sounded very gentle, and it was a woman.
Eunuch Yu, who was following behind, hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
He waved the lantern in his hand, illuminating the figure on the ground.
"Who are you--"
Zhu Feng looked in the light and saw a slender figure lying on the ground, covering her ankle with her hands. When she heard Eunuch Yu's voice, she raised her head, revealing a fair and pretty face.
The woman was no more than twenty years old, with an oval face as white as jade, willow-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a rosy complexion. Although she was not extremely beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were soft, and her expression was pitiful and touching.
"You are—Empress Kang!"
Eunuch Yu was startled and asked, "Empress Kang, why are you here?"
The person who fell to the ground was none other than Feng Qianyan, the Concubine Kang who had just been canonized a few days ago.
"I--"
Just as she was about to say something, a pained expression appeared on her face. She frowned and lowered her head, saying softly, "I have offended the emperor. Please forgive me."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her with a frown.
Concubine Kang, whose name seemed to be Feng Qianyan, was the jewel in the crown of Feng Guangyu, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. She was canonized a few days ago. However, except for the meeting once during the canonization, Zhu Feng rarely went to the harem, so he had not seen her much.
Zhu Feng asked, "Why are you here?"
Feng Qianyan was still sitting on the ground, lowering her head and whispering, "I heard that the Imperial Concubine has left the Cold Palace and returned to the Yikun Palace. I've only just entered the palace and haven't had the chance to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine, so I came here specially today."
"oh?"
"However, I just took the wrong road. When I arrived at the Yikun Palace, it was already late. I didn't want to disturb the Empress's rest, so I planned to go back. I didn't expect to offend the Emperor here. Please forgive me."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "Forget it."
“…”
"Since you have come to pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine, it is nothing. Please stand up."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng Qianyan was about to stand up from the ground, but as soon as she stood up, her legs suddenly went weak and she fell down again. Zhu Feng hurriedly reached out and supported her.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty," Feng Qianyan was shocked and panicked, her face full of fear, and the pain made the corners of her eyes red. She said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I seem to have twisted my ankle."
Zhu Feng frowned and looked down.
Sure enough, her ankle, which was exposed outside the hem of her skirt, was twisted at a strange angle, and under the light, it could be seen that it was obviously swollen.
She wanted to try to stand up, but her injured ankle made it impossible for her to move. After just a moment, she was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes.
I am becoming more and more at a loss.
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath, then reached out and picked her up.
Feng Qianyan was caught off guard and was picked up by Zhu Feng all of a sudden. She was stunned and turned to look at Zhu Feng with tears in her eyes, which kept flashing at this time, as if countless stars were surging in her eyes.
She whispered, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng asked, "Which palace do you live in?"
"I, I live in—"
She was so excited that her cheeks flushed and she stammered, unable to speak clearly. It was Eunuch Yu behind her who said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Kang is in Jianfu Palace."
Zhu Feng listened and said nothing, then carried her in his arms and strode forward.
Eunuch Yu looked back at the Yiku Palace not far behind him, and for a moment he was helpless, so he could only hurriedly follow with the lantern in hand.
Zhu Feng's tall shoulders blocked the light from the lantern swaying in Eunuch Yu's hand behind him, which flickered but was all reflected in Feng Qianyan's eyes.
Her eyes flickered with sudden joy and unbelievable happiness.
Pressing against that broad chest, she felt a strange, yet nostalgic, even addictive breath surrounding her. She carefully lowered her head and gently rubbed her cheek against his chest.
And my heart was beating like thunder in my chest.

In Yiku Palace, Nan Yan was lying by the window, looking at the night outside.
It's very late.
Today, when it was still broad daylight, Zhu Feng ran in. Although she had to leave later, she comforted him and told him that she would wait for him.
However, I waited from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dark.
He hasn't come yet.
Are you so busy that you forget yourself?
She wanted to ask Ran Xiaoyu to go to the imperial study, but she was embarrassed. Not to mention that Ran Xiaoyu would definitely laugh at her in a sarcastic way, this matter alone would make her seem too frivolous, as if she was so hungry.
Or, let's wait and see.
She continued to lie on the windowsill, her chin resting on her arms, looking at the pitch-black darkness outside.
However, he didn't realize that seeing her looking so eager, Ran Xiaoyu had already sneaked out and planned to go to the imperial study to take a look.
After a while, Ran Xiaoyu came back from outside with a dark face.
With a bang, the door was pushed open and then closed heavily.
"Xiaoyu?"
Nan Yan then noticed that she had gone out and then came back. She asked, "Where have you been? Why do you look so angry? Did you run into Ye Zheng?"
It’s even worse than meeting Ye Zheng!
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her still waiting foolishly, walked over and said: "My lady, go to bed early, I will take care of you to sleep."
Nan Yan said, "But the emperor is coming. I have to wait for him."
"Don't wait!"
Ran Xiaoyu was furious: "He won't come!"
"What?"
Seeing her angry face and hearing her words, Nan Yan frowned and said, "What's wrong? Why won't he come? Did something happen?"
Thinking of the scene she had just seen outside, Ran Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "His Majesty the Emperor, he's carrying another concubine to another palace!"
“……!”
"My lady, please don't wait!"
“……!”
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief. The candlestick on the table seemed to have sensed something, and the candlelight kept flickering, reflecting in her eyes, making her look even more fragile and confused.
She stood up, holding onto the window frame, and stared into Ran Xiaoyu's eyes: "What did you say?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Just now, that Concubine Kang outside broke her foot and the Emperor carried her away!"
“…”
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Having said that, Ran Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh from someone, and said fiercely: "He won't come!"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while.
But he slowly sat back down by the window.
