Chapter 2182 I Want to Thank You
At this moment, Xue Yun's heartbeat stopped.
Nan Yan stared at her, covered in cold sweat, and was in so much pain that his soul almost seemed to be pulled out of his body, but his eyes were extremely firm.
In fact, what she originally wanted to ask was: What's the matter with the fragrance on your body?
But when I asked it, it became——
"What are your thoughts on the Emperor?"
At this moment, it was a matter of life and death. Without an answer to this question, she would not be able to concentrate on giving birth to the child. So, she simply simplified the question and asked the question that she was most worried about and the most difficult to face.
What kind of feelings do you have towards him?
Xue Yun looked at her stupidly, and for a moment, he lost his reaction.
Although she had already vaguely anticipated something from the complicated look on Nan Yan's face when she looked at her, she could never have imagined that the imperial concubine would directly ask such a question.
Could it be that she has already seen through my feelings for Zhu Feng?
But how could that be?
Haven't I been hiding it well?
Except when she was alone with Zhu Feng, she never dared to reveal her feelings easily. After all, the harem was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones. The struggles between concubines were always bloodless, only life and death.
And this imperial concubine.
I have already seen her methods a long time ago.
She didn't dare, and was unwilling to, expose her feelings to these people, so she was always careful and low-key, not letting anyone know.
Besides, my identity is——
Could it be that she also knows that she is a woman? !
Thinking of this, Xue Yun took a breath and looked at her with wide eyes: "My Lady, you——"
"You don't have to hide it from me."
Nan Yan was gasping for breath, and the heavy breath was intermittent, just like the severe pain that was constantly attacking her body, and the sorrow that was constantly attacking her heart.
She had had enough of this kind of doubtful and uneasy life.
It must end tonight!
Nan Yan endured the pain and gritted her teeth, saying, "I know your identity. I know you are a woman."
“…”
"What exactly are you thinking about the Emperor?"
“…”
"You, what do you want?"
"I--"
Xue Yun trembled.
In fact, at this time, she could just say something casually to perfunctorily deal with her, but when she faced Nan Yan's red eyes, her whole body covered in sweat, and the look as if she was in hell, she couldn't bring herself to tell those lies.
She also knew that she couldn't deceive her.
For a moment, she could only face her in silence.
Such silence made Nan Yan's heart sink.
"you--"

"Come on!"
At the great altar, after Duke Chengguo Wu Yingqiu gave an order, a whistling wind blew in from outside the wall.
Suddenly, the long banner was blown with a rustling sound.
But after the sound of the wind, everything returned to peace.
Wu Yingqiu was stunned and turned his head away quickly.
Some of the people below the altar were also stunned. They all looked at Wu Yingqiu, while others turned their heads in panic to look outside the wall.
Just like just now, when the Queen ordered people to take him down, no one responded.
At this moment, no one responded to his order.
Wu Yingqiu's heart sank suddenly.
What's going on?
Thinking of this, he suddenly panicked. He was only one step away from the top of the altar, but he couldn't take this step. Instead, he turned around and shouted at the wall that was as black as a curtain under the firelight -
"Someone come! Someone come!"
His old and panicked voice echoed across the great altar.
But still, no one answered.
What's going on? What's going on?
The uneasiness that Wu Yingqiu had just felt emerged more and more clearly in his mind at this time. He looked outside, then at Zhu Feng; then he looked at Zhu Feng, and then looked outside again.
Why is there no one? Where are his men?
Wan Liangchou and the others panicked and hurriedly grabbed Wan Pengkun: "Where is he?!"
Wan Pengkun was also dumbfounded on the spot, and subconsciously said: "I, I transferred them all here, just, just -"
As he spoke, he pointed outside the wall and instinctively walked over.
At this moment, Wu Yingqiu suddenly felt something.
He shouted, "Come back!"
But it was too late.
Just as he finished speaking, Wan Pengkun took a step forward. Suddenly, there was a sharp whooshing sound in the air, and a cold light as fast as lightning. Before he could even see it clearly, Wan Pengkun felt a vibration in his chest.
He opened his eyes wide, and the cold light seemed to still linger in his sight.
Then, bewildered, he slowly lowered his head.
Then he saw an arrow deeply embedded in his chest.
“……!”
He suddenly felt suffocated.
"Pengkun!"
When Wan Liangchou saw his son was shot in the chest, he screamed in pain and rushed forward. Just as he hugged his son's body that fell on his back, he heard several sharp "sousou" sounds, and the darkness in front of him seemed to be cut by cold rays of light.
He and Wan Pengkun were both hit by several arrows, and blood gushed out of their bodies in an instant.
In an instant, the dark night sky was dyed red.
"ah--!"
There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd.
The princes, dukes, and ministers who had originally followed Wu Yingqiu in the rebellion were so frightened that they all retreated and tried desperately to squeeze into the crowd.
He was afraid that the arrow would hit him the next moment.
Wu Yingqiu was also shocked when he saw his wife's brother and nephew falling to the ground dead after being hit by several arrows.
He stood there stiffly.
After a while, he slowly turned around and looked at Zhu Feng.
“You, you—”
Zhu Feng looked at him quietly.
"I want to thank you."
He said this indifferently and calmly, as if what had just happened was just an ordinary thing.
He said, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to redeploy your troops, I wouldn't know where you would be hiding."
“…”
"If you hadn't gathered the royal nobles to rebel, I wouldn't know how many people are dissatisfied with me."
“…”
"And now—"
He took a deep breath and looked down.
Even though those people kept retreating into the crowd, Zhu Feng, who was standing on the high altar, could still clearly see everyone below.
He remembered all of them.
"you--"
Hearing Zhu Feng's words, many things flashed through Wu Yingqiu's mind. Suddenly, he shuddered: "You, you are doing this for this!?"
Zhu Feng looked at him quietly.
Wu Yingqiu's eyes widened, almost bloodshot, and he said, "You did all this to lure us, to lure us into rebellion. And then you, you—"
His voice was trembling.
"You want to completely eradicate those who are dissatisfied with your new policies."
