Chapter 1165 Who do you really believe in?
Nan Yan didn't say anything, just lowered her head.
Zhu Feng's tone became even more serious: "Are you still angry with me, or do you still not trust me?"
Nan Yan lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
"If I didn't trust the emperor, I wouldn't say those words to him."
At that time, she was indeed speaking in anger.
Because she had no way to vent her grief and anger - the people in the Jian family were all good people, and they had given her family warmth when she was in the most difficult time. She did not expect good people to be rewarded, but she could not accept that such a harmonious and warm family would end up with such a tragic ending. She felt even more sorry for Jian Ruocheng's situation.
In addition, at that time, Zhu Feng even suspected her relationship with Li Bushang.
So, when she realized that Zhu Feng had sent people back to Peking to look for the Jian family, she almost subconsciously vented her anger on him.
But as soon as she calmed down a little, she knew that the truth was not like that.
She also believed that with Zhu Feng's character, if he really wanted to kill someone, he would do it openly and gloriously, and would not use such means, let alone deny it in front of her.
But--
Zhu Feng said, "Since you believe in me, why do you still want to stay here?"
“…”
Nan Yan gritted her teeth, then looked up at him and said, "I believe the emperor, but does the emperor completely believe in me?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, ask yourself, who do you truly trust?"
“…”
Tears glistened in Nan Yan's eyes, and she choked up and said, "The emperor completely trusts Qin Ruolan."
Zhu Feng frowned.
He was about to say something, but Nan Yan said coldly: "Any word she says can have such great power in the emperor's heart; and as for me, no matter what I say or do, the emperor always turns a blind eye."
“…”
"If you don't trust me, why do you still want to keep me by your side?"
Zhu Feng's brows immediately twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
His chest heaved violently, as if some emotion was swelling inside him, almost bursting out, but he gritted his teeth, suppressing himself with all his might, and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me, no matter what I say, you won't go back with me? Do you insist on staying here?"
“…”
He always avoided talking about that woman.
Nan Yan looked at him, and the tears in her eyes seemed to dry up a little.
That kind of difficult look makes people sad.
She said, “I still say the same thing.”
“…”
"Your Majesty, do you still believe that you have done nothing wrong?"
“…”
Zhu Feng's face suddenly darkened.
This was not the first time he had heard this sentence. Nan Yan had asked him the same question after the turmoil in the Jian family.
No one dared to ask him this.
No one dared to ask such a question twice in front of him.
Because, from ancient times to the present, the emperor has never been wrong.
Even if there were mistakes, it was because the people below did not dissuade him promptly and did not consider the emperor's situation carefully. The emperor himself was not wrong. Even if he had made a mistake, it must be right.
This is the dignity of the emperor.
However, this little woman was challenging his dignity for the second time.
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "What are you going to say?"
Nan Yan looked at him firmly: "I want the emperor to answer me, whose fault is it in this matter of the Jian family."
“…”
The morning light shone through the window, gently falling on their faces. Their bodies still retained the charming scent left over from last night's passionate lovemaking. Even their bodies could smell each other's scent.
Nan Yan leaned in his arms, her snow-white body wrapped in a thin blanket, revealing her slender neck and bony collarbone.
This was originally a beautiful picture.
This should have been a warm morning.
But at this moment, the charming feeling that remained in the two people's bodies last night was fading away bit by bit, and the warmth brought by the ironing of the skin was also being dispelled bit by bit by the coldness in the heart.
My heart is getting colder.
Zhu Feng looked at her with a frown, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
Nan Yan also looked at him.
Her eyes were not cold, nor did they hold resentment anymore, but instead held a stubbornness that could not be suppressed. She was like a ray of light in the darkness, dim but indestructible as long as it existed.
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Sinanyan, do you know who you are talking to?"
“…”
"Do you know that no one can speak to me like this?"
“…”
"Are you going to use this method to punish yourself and me?"
Nan Yan looked at him, the stubbornness in her eyes revealed a hint of sadness. She said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, do you know that the people in the Jian family are dead?"
“…”
"Dead, dead means you'll never come back."
Zhu Feng's breathing suddenly stopped.
These words were like a knife, stabbing him hard in the chest.
Nan Yan's voice became even more choked with sobs, and she said hoarsely, "There's a piece missing from my heart, and it will never be restored."
“…”
"I'm staying in the cold palace not to hurt myself, nor to punish anyone. It's just that, before the emperor answers my question, I have no way of returning to my original place, let alone my original life."
…
Finally, in the somewhat desolate mist of the early morning, Eunuch Yu saw Zhu Feng's figure slowly walking out of the cold palace.
He went forward happily.
"emperor!"
The dense fog made the expression in Zhu Feng's eyes look a little blurry, but it was clear that the bloodthirsty aura like that of a wild beast from last night had completely disappeared after this night.
He actually calmed down.
Eunuch Yu finally let go of his worry that had been hanging in the balance all night.
He asked cautiously, "Did the Emperor spend last night in the cold palace—with the Imperial Concubine?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, why didn't you take the Empress out of the cold palace?"
“…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Zhu Feng's eyes flash again.
Eunuch Yu discovered that Zhu Feng, who had always been so heroic and looked as if the whole world was in his control, now exuded an aura that was almost helpless.
He has never been like this before.
However, when he faced the petite woman in his arms, and the stubbornness in her eyes that was as weak as a candle in the wind, he always felt that he was so powerless towards her.
Eunuch Yu immediately quieted down.
Zhu Feng turned around and looked towards the deep and cold cold palace.
In my ears, I seem to still hear Nan Yan's desolate voice——
"I will accompany the emperor through all the ups and downs, joys and sorrows. But that doesn't mean I don't have my own joys and sorrows."
