Chapter 2200 No, it is indeed an outsider
"By the way, when did they come here?"
“…”
When this was mentioned, Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "When the fire started."
"What?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, his brows knitted together and he said, "It's so late!"
“…”
"you--"
He thought about what Li Bushang had said just now when he came to apologize to him outside with a group of Jinyiwei. It was indeed that they were late in arriving to rescue him, but looking at Nan Yan's expression, it seemed that was not the case.
He said, "Did they arrive late, or did you send someone there very late?"
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes flickered again.
After a while, she whispered, "Yes, I'm late."
"Why?"
“…”
"Didn't I give you the things a long time ago?"
“…”
"Why didn't you send them here earlier? In case, in case something happens to you——"
At this point, Zhu Feng's voice sank.
He couldn't bear to continue, and he didn't dare to think about that possibility.
Just from the burnt-out gate outside, one could imagine how dangerous the situation at the gate of Yikun Palace was tonight. Perhaps only a woman with Wu Wan's brains would be so bold as to do such a thing in the palace.
It seems that she was determined that Duke Chengguo's rebellion would succeed.
That's why they are so unscrupulous.
If they really broke into the Yiku Palace, everything he saw and possessed would have been reduced to ashes.
Thinking of this, his brows knitted together: "Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Nan Yan's palms were also covered in sweat.
Although, since being together with Zhu Feng, they had experienced many dangers together, but never like this time. When she was giving birth, she saw thick smoke surrounding the entire Yiku Palace, and the fire jumped down from the beams and rushed directly in front of her eyes.
That kind of danger is different from man-made disasters.
It's true, it makes people despair.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach at that time, so I called Doctor Xue over and didn't notice what was happening outside."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Zhu Feng finally remembered.
Turning around, I saw Xue Yun still standing at the door.
Just now, when I saw Prince Wei and Princess Xinping surrounding the imperial concubine's bed, teasing the newborn baby, I saw this warm scene, it was the feeling of a complete home, and I felt like - no, indeed, an outsider.
Xue Yun felt that he shouldn't stay here.
So, she wanted to leave secretly.
However, she didn't expect that as soon as she reached the door, she met the emperor. She couldn't help but stop and watched him walk over, sit beside the bed, hug her two children, and talk gently to the imperial concubine.
That kind of tenderness and tenderness is almost unimaginable for others in the emperor.
She just looked at it and felt it was so far away.
And when she recalled that the imperial concubine was in excruciating pain during childbirth, but still stubbornly asked her that question, she understood.
The imperial concubine is guarding this picture.
Protecting this hard-earned tenderness.
At this moment, she wished she had never answered that question, and even more so, she wished her body could shrink so small that no one would ever find her.
But, no.
Zhu Feng turned around and saw her.
At this moment, the rain outside was a little lighter, and a faint pale light could be seen in the sky. The dim light shone on her face, making it look even paler.
Zhu Feng glanced at her, then looked at Nan Yan: "She was the one who helped you give birth?"
"yes,"
Nan Yan said, then glanced at Xue Yun and said, "Thank you for your hard work this night, Doctor Xue."
Xue Yun hurriedly said, "It is my duty, and I dare not complain."
“…”
"Thankfully, Your Majesty discovered the fetal movement early on and summoned me. Later, Concubine Hui and her men rebelled, sealing the palace gates and preventing midwives from entering. I had no choice but to take the risk and help Your Majesty deliver the baby. I apologize for the suffering you endured."
“…”
"I hope the emperor and the queen will forgive me."
Her words helped Nan Yan to fulfill her previous words.
The two people looked at each other, and their flickering eyes revealed a feeling that did not need words.
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at the two of them quietly.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It's okay. As long as she is safe and the child is safe, that's all that matters."
“…”
"You've worked hard, go down."
"yes."
Xue Run saluted, looked up at him again, then turned and left.
When she turned around, she saw burn marks on her back and the corners of her clothes. Even some of her hair was singed, which showed how fierce the fire was.
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Xiang Nanyan.
"You, are you really not hurt?"
This is what he is most worried about now.
Pregnant women have less room to protect themselves than others.
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I deceive you? If I were truly injured, I wouldn't hide it."
Zhu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her say that.
At this time, he heard Zhu Chengxuan behind him take a deep breath. Zhu Feng turned around and saw that when he was holding Zhu Chengjun, he accidentally pulled the wound on his arm, and blood flowed again.
Zhu Feng immediately took the child.
Said: "You should go down quickly and treat your injuries."
"yes."
"besides,"
Zhu Feng added, "Your mother caught a cold at the Great Altar. Once you've taken care of it, go check on her and don't let her worry."
When Zhu Chengxuan heard what Xu Miaoyin said, his face changed.
He said hurriedly, "I know, I'm going."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Nan Yan was also startled when she heard about the Queen. She wanted to get up, but after all, she had fought for her life for half the night, and her whole body was already limp. She could only ask, "Is the Queen okay?"
Zhu Feng pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit back.
After a moment of silence, he said, "She needs to be taken good care of."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan knew that the Queen's condition might be serious.
She frowned: "Duke Cheng's men took action?"
Zhu Feng shook his head and said, "I didn't let him take action. It was because of the mistake I made last time in Jinling. This time, I didn't want to give anyone else a chance. Before he took action, I had his men restrained. I only gave him a little 'chance' to bring out those who stood on his side."
Nan Yan naturally understood his intention.
Since we want to eliminate Duke Cheng, we must also eradicate all his forces at the same time to prevent future troubles.
She said, "Then, what kind of accident would give him the opportunity to escape?"
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath before saying, "It's Ye Zheng."
