Chapter 949: Supreme Forgetfulness
emperor……
Your Majesty... Your Majesty...
Nan Yan suddenly woke up from her slumber, opened her eyes wide, and subconsciously wanted to shout: "Emperor——"
However, as soon as he shouted a word, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
His voice was completely hoarse and he couldn't speak at all.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the side, whispering softly: "My Queen, please don't move or speak, your neck is injured."
“……?”
Nan Yan turned around in surprise and saw that it was Aunt Tongyun who was guarding her.
here it is--
She looked around hurriedly and found that she was back in the cold palace, in her room, lying on the bed.
As soon as she woke up, she felt an indescribable dull pain in her neck. She had half-propped herself up, but at this moment, the feeling of limpness came over her whole body and she almost fell back. Fortunately, Aunt Tongyun reached out to support her and put a soft pillow under her body, allowing her to half-lean and half-sit on the head of the bed.
"I……"
She really couldn't speak and could only barely breathe out.
Fortunately, Aunt Tongyun understood what she was asking and quickly said, "After the incident, the Empress and Master Heyi immediately ordered the Empress to be sent back to the cold palace."
“…”
"Because it's daybreak, and some of the things that happened in the palace may have been known to outsiders. Some officials in the court and other concubines in the harem are making a fuss and want to come to see the emperor. The queen is worried that if they find out that you have escaped from the cold palace on your own, you will be punished."
“…”
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
At that time, because she was worried about Zhu Feng and could not care about anything else, she asked Ran Xiaoyu to take her secretly out of the cold palace and go to Zhu Feng's bedroom.
But when I think about it, I feel a little scared.
If a concubine who was supposed to be in the cold palace ran out on her own and was really discovered, she would be punished according to palace rules.
At that time, I really gave others the handle.
But now is not the time to worry about that.
She eagerly grabbed Aunt Tongyun's arm and looked at her anxiously.
Although she couldn't speak, Aunt Tongyun knew that there was only one person she was worried about -
"The Emperor has settled down for the time being."
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Is he okay?
Aunt Tongyun's brows flickered with worry as she softly said, "However, after that, the Queen closed the bedroom again. Only Master Heyi, Master Ye Zheng, and a few others remained inside."
“…”
"Lord Heyi asked me to tell the Imperial Concubine that he will handle the Emperor's affairs."
"Um."
"only--"
"Um?"
"It's just that, Your Majesty, you may need to be mentally prepared."
Nan Yan frowned.
Mental preparation? What does that mean?
Meeting her doubtful and questioning eyes, Aunt Tongyun shook her head and said, "Master Heyi only said these things, and nothing else."
“…”
At this time, Nan Yan thought of what Qin Ruolan had said to her before.
Zhu Feng once lost a period of memory, and it was Emperor Gao who did it.
She recalled the time she saw Zhu Feng before she fell into a coma, and suddenly shuddered.
At that time, what I saw seemed to be no longer a human being, but a wild beast, a blood-losing evil ghost Shura.
Could this be the reason why Emperor Gao decided to make his son lose his memory?
Because this is what his descent into madness looks like?
Nan Yan leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes, and recalled the scene, and she seemed to understand a little.
Even if it were me, if one day my heart became bloodthirsty and murderous due to some unexpected events, I would not just stand by and watch.
She took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a dull pain came from her neck, so painful that she couldn't even scream.
Aunt Tongyun said hurriedly: "My Lady, your neck is injured. Please do not move or speak."
As she spoke, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Just now, this servant took a look and saw that the Majesty's neck was only a fraction away from being broken."
“……!”
"Fortunately, Lord Hei took action in time."
Nan Yan glanced at her and said nothing.
She just raised her weak hand and gently touched her slender neck.
She herself couldn't see that there were still a few bruises on her neck caused by finger marks, which looked particularly shocking on her fair neck. Even if you didn't see what happened at the time, you could know what kind of danger she had experienced.
She sighed.
Who made me the imperial concubine, the emperor's woman?
Standing by his side and enjoying the splendor and wealth of a royal concubine, it was naturally impossible for her to do nothing every day like an ordinary woman.
She just hoped that he would be safe.
At this moment, Nan Yan suddenly thought of Ran Xiaoyu again. She hurriedly grabbed Aunt Tongyun's hand and said, "Xiao...Yu..."
"Oh, are you asking about Xiaoyu?"
"Um."
"She was seriously injured. Lord Ye Zheng had her sent to his residence to recuperate."
"ah?"
Are you seriously injured?
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's heart was stabbed.
She remembered Zhu Feng's heavy punch that made Ran Xiaoyu spit blood.
He anxiously grabbed Aunt Tongyun's sleeve: "She——"
"Her shoulder blade is fractured. However, Master Ye Zheng said he would ask the best doctor in Peking to treat her."
"Her...life..."
"Don't worry, Madam. I won't lie to you. Xiaoyu is still alive and well. Although that kind of injury is very painful, it is really not life-threatening."
Only after hearing Aunt Tongyun's repeated assurances did Nan Yan lower her brows.
I still feel sad.
It’s all because of myself.
"Don't be sad, madam," Aunt Tongyun put her hand on the back of her cold hand and said, "As long as madam is okay, Xiaoyu will be happy."
“…”
"Now, I just hope that the emperor can recover soon and take charge of the overall situation sooner."
“…”
"More importantly, we need to get the Empress out as soon as possible."

In the bedroom.
Although it was already daylight outside, the doors and windows were closed, so no sunlight could get in. Instead, there was a kind of dark night.
There were only a few candles, arranged in strange shapes.
The flickering candlelight shone on Zhu Feng's paper-white face, giving him a clearer outline and adding a touch of sharpness.
Xu Miaoyin stood aside.
She was still injured and the blood from her mouth hadn't been wiped clean, so she said to He Yi, "Is this really the way to go? Is there no other way?"
“…”
He Yi's eyes also appeared particularly deep in the candlelight.
He said, "The medicine Emperor Gao gave the emperor was called 'Taishangwangqing'. Originally, it could have always restrained the emperor's inner demons and achieved a kind of balance."
“…”
"But now, this balance has been broken."
“…”
"Either the inner demons are controlling the emperor, or he's been made to 'forget' his feelings again."
“…”
"There is no third option."
