Chapter 1389 The Emperor's words have become a joke
I don’t know if it was related to me, but the curtains on the bed also began to sway. Zhu Feng, who was originally in a light sleep, immediately opened his eyes at this moment.
Unlike Nan Yan who was confused and ignorant after waking up, he was a man who had fought in wars. As soon as he opened his eyes, his gaze was sharp and clear, and he immediately met Nan Yan's eyes.
"You're awake."
“…”
Nan Yan did not answer him, nor did she speak immediately, but just looked at him.
Zhu Feng hurriedly leaned over and got close to her face. He stretched out one hand and touched Nan Yan's forehead. The temperature had dropped.
"How are you?"
“…”
Nan Yan still didn't speak.
When she felt the rough, calloused hand gently stroking her forehead and smoothing away the hair in front of her forehead, she slowly closed her eyes.
He also turned his face inward.
Zhu Feng's hands stiffened for a moment, and his brows slowly furrowed.
"how,"
His voice was low, revealing a hint of anger: "Don't you want to see me?"
“…”
The response to him continued throughout the night, and even after Nan Yan woke up, the silence remained unchanged.
Zhu Feng's breath became heavier.
He recalled the night they spent in the camp outside before returning to Peking. No matter what he said or did, she refused to give in. Even now, he could still clearly remember the feeling of her fists hitting his chest one after another.
Different, yet unbearable.
Therefore, he treated her coldly these days, letting her think carefully in the cold palace, and even not allowing the people around her to leave the cold palace, just to force her to know who is the emperor and who is the master of this world.
Who is——
The winner between them.
But now it seems that it was not him.
Even now, Nan Yan was lying sick in bed. If he exerted a little force with his hands, he could break her slender and pale neck, but she never gave in to him.
Even if she didn't say that she had given in, he could feel it even from a glance or a breath.
But she refused.
On the contrary, it was me who clearly announced in front of those guards, Eunuch Yu, and so many people that she would not be allowed to leave the cold palace unless she admitted her mistake, but last night, I was the one who carried her out.
The emperor's words have become a joke.
This thought made him feel angry and ashamed. He gritted his teeth and said with a tight breath, "You, must do this with me, right?"
Nan Yan remained silent.
Eyes closed.
"you--"
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth, grabbed her thin arms on both sides, and lifted her up from the bed.
"Talk to me!"
His low growl sounded like a tiger's roar, suddenly ringing out in the quiet bedroom, shaking the tiles on the roof. The two young eunuchs at the door who were preparing to help the emperor and the imperial concubine to get up were originally lying at the door listening for any sound, and when they suddenly heard such a roar, they jumped up in fright and fell down the stairs.
The cries of pain, "Ouch, ouch," were endless.
But Zhu Feng didn't care about all this. He grabbed Nan Yan's thin, naked body, and Nan Yan finally opened her eyes and looked up at him.
Facing his furious look, she remained quiet as if nothing had happened.
Just looking at her quietly.
Facing her silence, all his anger was like a fist hitting cotton. The lack of reaction only made him even more infuriated. Zhu Feng could barely contain his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth are you going to do?!"
“…”
This time, Nan Yan finally spoke.
But, perhaps because her throat had been damaged by the long-term coughing, and she was still sick, her voice was hoarse and didn't sound like her own when she spoke.
"I think this is the question I should ask Your Majesty."
“…”
"What does the Emperor want to do?"
“…”
"Your Majesty brought me here from the cold palace. Do you want to strangle me to death? Or do you want me to recuperate?"
“…”
"If I were to strangle him to death, there would be no need to come here. I wouldn't even have to bother the emperor, and he wouldn't have to worry about it."
“…”
"But, if you want me to recuperate——"
Her voice was originally hoarse. She spoke so many words without even drinking a sip of water after waking up. When she said the last two words "recuperate", she finally couldn't hold it back and started coughing again.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
The dry cough was even more unpleasant than her voice, like a knife scraping against something, extremely harsh.
When he heard her cough, Zhu Feng subconsciously let go of her hand.
However, it was completely unstoppable at this time. Nan Yan started coughing violently again. The continuous coughing made her fall on the bed. Her thin and emaciated body trembled with the violent coughing, as if it would break at any time.
Zhu Feng's hands suddenly went limp.
He quickly reached out to protect her again, hugging her frail body while gently stroking her back: "How are you?"
"Cough cough cough."
"Nan Yan?"
"Cough, cough, cough."
He originally thought that the situation would be better this time when she woke up, but after helping her to calm down for a long time, there was no improvement at all. Nan Yan was coughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and her face and eyes were red from coughing.
Zhu Feng suddenly became anxious and immediately shouted outside, "Someone come!"
Upon hearing his voice, Eunuch Yu, who was cursing outside, immediately pushed the door open and came in. Standing at the door, he saw through the fluttering gauze curtains that the emperor was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the coughing concubine in his arms, with a look of panic on his face.
"The imperial concubine is ill!"
“…”
Eunuch Yu was stunned for a moment.
Of course she was sick. That's why you took her out.
He was taken aback, and Zhu Feng immediately started scolding him: "What are you doing standing there? Can't you see that the imperial concubine is ill? Go and call the imperial physician to me immediately!"
"Yes, yes."
Eunuch Yu turned around hurriedly and ordered the two young eunuchs who had just fallen badly to go and invite Wang Baizhi immediately.
On the other side, Aunt Tongyun and Ran Xiaoyu, who had gotten up early in the morning and were waiting outside, heard the noise here and hurried over.
The two of them confessed their crime and walked into the bedroom: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Ran Xiaoyu only took a look and immediately walked to the other side, poured a cup of tea, tested the temperature, and then walked to the bed. Zhu Feng came to his senses after seeing this and thought that Nan Yan should drink some water first.
Ran Xiaoyu said softly, "Your Majesty, let this servant help the Empress."
She said, extending her hand.
Just as she was about to help Nan Yan over and lean her against him, Zhu Feng exerted force with his hand, making Ran Xiaoyu miss.
She was stunned for a moment, only to see Zhu Feng say coldly: "No need."
