Chapter 2546 Where is the Queen going?
Just when she was at a loss, Zhu Feng said, "By the way, have you changed your mind about the thing I asked you last time?"
“…”
Xue Yun was stunned again.
Why would the emperor bring up this matter again after he had clearly rejected him?
She was a little confused, a little bewildered, and even a little uneasy, and she stammered, "I, your humble servant, your humble servant..."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng said, "You still don't dare, don't want to, or can't?"
Xue Yun bit his lower lip and nodded slightly.
Zhu Feng was not angry at all. He just said calmly, "Okay, you can go down."
"……emperor?"
Xue Yun was a little puzzled. Why did Zhu Feng keep asking him this question and then had such a strange attitude after receiving a polite refusal?
Zhu Feng stretched out his hand, rubbed the spot where the needle had just been inserted, and said calmly: "It's okay, you can go down."
"……yes."
Xue Yun left his room nervously.
Standing at the door, she was still a little hesitant. After a long while, she turned around and left. When she walked out of the courtyard, it was already pitch black outside. Only the faint light from the lanterns under the eaves in the distance could barely illuminate the road ahead.
But where is the road ahead for her?
If one doesn't know where they came from, it's hard to know where they're going, because every step they take could lead to a false start. It's precisely for this reason that Zhu Feng is so eager to recover his memory, even at the risk of significant loss.
What about yourself?
Where is your future?
She was walking with a heavy heart, when suddenly she felt a gust of wind blowing by her side. When she looked up, it was pitch black.
Is this an illusion? I just felt like there was someone there?
She subconsciously looked over there, but saw nothing, and in front of her, she heard footsteps.
Looking up, I saw a patrol of soldiers passing by.
It turns out that the illusion just now was these patrolling soldiers.
Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid of being seen, so he hurriedly carried the medicine box back to his residence.
The patrolling soldiers saw the hurriedly leaving figure and recognized it clearly. One of them whispered, "That must be Doctor Xue who serves His Majesty the Emperor."
"That's her."
"It sounds strange that a woman could become an official in the imperial court and become an imperial physician."
"What's so strange about this? We are in Handongwei, a hundred thousand miles away from the capital. If you were to actually go to the capital and take up duty in the palace, you would see many strange things there."
"I, hehe, it's enough for me to be a soldier in Handongwei in this life. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the capital."
Everyone was chatting and laughing when the patrol captain stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop laughing and pay attention. The Emperor's arrival at the Duwei Mansion is very different from before. If anything goes wrong, we'll all be dead."
Someone then asked, "But why did the Emperor ask Lord Chen to withdraw all the guards from his residence?"
"Yeah, we don't understand."
"Shouldn't the area around the Emperor's residence be strictly guarded? If the guards are withdrawn and even our patrols can't get close, then wouldn't that be—"
The team leader frowned.
This was also something he couldn't understand.
Everyone knows that the emperor's safety is of paramount importance. Even though everyone knows that his majesty is a military man and his martial arts skills are unmatched by ordinary generals, that was a long time ago. Moreover, this place is not the heavily guarded capital, but the border adjacent to the enemy country.
If all the guards are withdrawn and the patrols are not allowed to get close, what should we do if some spies or even assassins really get close and something happens?
He also reported this to Chen Zixiao, but Lord Chen was also in a difficult position.
It is the emperor's will.
Everyone could only patrol and monitor closely outside the Emperor's residence to prevent any accidents from happening.
So, he pulled himself together and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and do what you need to do. Look around carefully and sound the alarm immediately if there is anything unusual."
"yes."
The same pitch-black night presented a completely different scene in Nan Yan's eyes.
They did not go to the post station, but walked a long way, and when it was getting dark, they set up camp on the spot.
This was not a difficult task for the accompanying Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei's training also included setting up camp in the wild and even training on how to survive in the most harsh environments.
So, the camp was set up before it was completely dark.
There were pots on several campfires, and soon the smell of food wafted into the night breeze.
Li Bushang filled a bowl of porridge and placed it directly in front of Nan Yan.
Ruoshui watched from the side and frowned slightly.
Although she had only been serving Nan Yan for a short time and did not fully know Li Bushang's identity, before she left, Aunt Tongyun had already told her about the relationship between the commander and the imperial concubine, and reminded her: He is special to the imperial concubine, but you must also be careful not to let him get too close to the imperial concubine.
Nan Yan also looked up at him, was silent for a moment, reached out to take it, and then said, "Go and eat yours, don't worry about me."
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just stepped aside and looked at him quietly.
Being stared at by such a young, handsome man who holds a high position and a good salary may be the dream of many girls, but Nan Yan only feels like something is stuck in her throat.
Although the hot porridge was fragrant, she couldn't drink a single sip.
What's more, what those people said during the day is still on her mind.
She was silent for a while, put down the bowl of porridge and stood up.
Ruoshui immediately asked, "Where are you going, Madam?"
Nan Yan said, "I want to walk around and relax."
"Then this servant will accompany—"
"No need,"
Knowing what she was going to say, Nan Yan waved her hand calmly and said, "I won't go too far. Don't follow me. I want to be alone."
"……yes."
Ruoshui could only sigh and take a step back.
Nan Yan walked slowly alone, and soon her figure was swallowed up by the dark night around her.
Ruoshui sighed.
She knew that the imperial concubine must be feeling extremely anxious right now, with too many worries entangled in her like poisonous snakes. Unfortunately, as her servant, she could only take care of her food and daily life, and could not help with anything else.
I don’t know how such a thin woman managed to get through those difficult years.
Just look at how she looks now and you can see it.
"well……"
Ruoshui sighed softly and murmured, "My Royal Concubine, you have your own worries too. Your life is no more comfortable than that of an ordinary peasant woman."
As she was sighing, she looked back and was surprised to find that the Jinyiwei commander who had just been standing quietly beside her was no longer there.
