Chapter 1959: It is human nature for men and women to miss each other
But she didn't want to be looked down upon like this.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Even the young master misses his lover, so why can't I—"
Zhu Feng was startled: "You have a lover?"
“…”
Xue Yun regretted her words after she said them, and she wanted to bite her tongue off, but the words were already out, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her solemnly.
After a long while, he said, "It turns out that Master Xue already has his own lover."
“…”
"It was I who overlooked it."
“…”
"If Master Xue truly misses his—his beloved—and wishes to see him, I certainly cannot forcibly stop him."
“…”
"But since you have already promised to detoxify me, this is your promise to me. I hope that the eldest son of the Xue family--" He deliberately emphasized the weight of these three words, and sure enough, he saw Xue Yun's slender body tremble slightly.
Then he said, "He is a man of his word."
Yun Xiang on the side could only look at the two of them, not daring to say a word.
She didn't know why her master would tell such a huge lie. She clearly didn't have any lover, so why would he say such a thing in front of the emperor?
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but her son always behaved a little strangely in front of the Emperor.
Yun Xiang looked at Xue Yun carefully.
After a long and somewhat uncomfortable silence, Xue Yun finally took a deep breath, looked up and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Since I have promised, I will keep my word."
“…”
"just,"
When she said this, she turned her face away in embarrassment and said sadly, "I was just anxious for a moment and lost my composure."
“…”
"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Hearing him say this, Zhu Feng looked at him deeply again, and then said: "It is human nature for men and women to miss each other."
“…”
"I am not a heartless person. I naturally understand that Master Xue is unable to control his emotions. I hope that Master Xue can take good care of himself in the days ahead and not behave inappropriately like this again."
Xue Yun bit his lower lip, which had turned red.
She stiffened her neck and said, "Of course I know."
Zhu Feng nodded, then took a step back and said to the two of them, "It's getting late now, you should go back and rest early. Tomorrow morning, after the Parthian envoy leaves, we will also set off back to Shazhou. The journey is long and requires physical strength."
"yes."
Xue Yun hurriedly bowed to him, then turned around and left with Yun Xiang.
But after taking just two steps, she stopped again and looked back to see Zhu Feng turning around and walking back to the riverbank, his hands behind his back, alone, his tall pine-like figure reflected in the shimmering river surface.
Just by looking at his back, you can feel the infinite sorrow in his heart and the heavy burden on his shoulders.
Xue Yun hesitated for a moment, but still walked back.
"His Majesty."
Suddenly hearing his voice again, Zhu Feng turned around and asked, "Huh?"
Xue Yun said seriously, "Although I have already neutralized most of the poison in your Majesty's arm, there is still some residual poison. You must rest well and recuperate in order to recover as soon as possible."
After saying that, she looked up at the night sky.
The moon is at its zenith.
"Your Majesty, staying awake all night like this is not only stressful for your mind, but also not helpful in detoxifying."
“…”
"If you are leaving tomorrow, Your Majesty, please rest well."
After saying that, he bowed and turned away.
