Chapter 907: She Would Rather Not Have That Kind of Love
For some reason, when that warm, heavy hand touched and gently stroked her shoulders, Nan Yan felt that her dream became even deeper.
There was a feeling of wanting to wake up, but being pulled deeper into the dream.
She struggled, trying to open her eyes, but couldn't.
I wanted to call out, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I was blocked by something warm and soft.
But the tears kept falling.
Gradually, salty tears flowed between her lips and teeth. She seemed to taste her own tears, and that taste made the air around her heavier.
In her dream, she only felt that she had fallen into a very warm place.
In a trance, it seemed like an embrace, or something else. She couldn't tell the difference and could only let herself sink in.

No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Nan Yan woke up very late. When she opened her eyes, the room was already brightly lit.
She was a little dazed, resting her head on her arms. She didn't know if it was because she cried last night, but her eyes were dry and painful.
Tears?
She suddenly remembered and turned back quickly.
But I found that there was no one around me.
I was the only one left in the room.
Where's Zhu Feng? Is he gone?
Nan Yan stood up subconsciously, and the people outside heard the sound and walked in carefully. It was Nian Qiu and Aunt Tongyun. Because it was getting late, they had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"My Lady."
Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, where are the others?"
"I went out early in the morning."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm not too sure," Aunt Tongyun came over and helped Nanyan put on her clothes, then said, "But I heard from them that the emperor seemed to have gone to the study."
Although the space on the ship is limited and it is impossible to have everything like in the imperial palace in Nanjing, and even some concubines' rooms are so small that they make them angry - Concubine Li was furious yesterday, but the emperor still needs to have everything he deserves.
For example, the imperial study is said to be very spacious.
Moreover, it was arranged by His Royal Highness Prince Wei himself for the Emperor. Aunt Tongyun only passed by there for a moment while serving, and saw the furnishings inside. It was very elegant. The incense burning in the incense burner gave off wisps of green smoke, and the whole study was filled with an enchanting scent.
When Nan Yan heard that Zhu Feng had gone to the imperial study, she felt relieved.
Looking at the pillows and quilts on the bed, Aunt Tongyun seemed to sense something and whispered, "Last night, Madam..."
“…”
After hearing this, Nan Yan looked back.
The bed was indeed clean, with nothing on it.
Because Zhu Feng didn't touch her at all the whole night.
Of course, this was what she had been longing for. At this time, she really didn't want to serve him, even though many people thought that serving him once might mean that the emperor might favor her again.
But that kind of favor—
She would rather not have it.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Nothing."
"Your Majesty..."
"It's okay, help me wash up."
"yes."
Aunt Tongyun sighed helplessly and came over to help her wash up.
Only Nianqiu was overjoyed because the emperor had stayed overnight. As she made her bed, she smiled and said, "This trip north is bound to bring good things. Look, it's only the first day on board, and the emperor is already showing favor to the empress."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her helplessly.
Aunt Tongyun could only smile bitterly.
However, while combing her hair, she still whispered to Nan Yan, "Your Majesty, you are right. The Emperor hasn't come for a long time. Finally, he remembered you again. Your Majesty should be nicer to him."
Nan Yan looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Be nicer to him?"
What else can be done?
I have given him everything.
She no longer knew what else she could give him.
After Nian Qiu finished tidying up the bed, she walked back happily and said, "Perhaps the emperor will return today. Your Majesty, I will go inform the imperial kitchen and ask them to prepare more food for lunch."
Nan Yan looked at her helplessly: "I haven't even had breakfast yet, and you're already thinking about lunch?"
"Well--"
Nian Qiu scratched his head and laughed too.
Nan Yan shook her head slightly.
However, a spark of love involuntarily ignited in her heart, making her already cold heart feel a little warm.
Zhu Feng, will you really look back?
Zhu Chengxuan said before that he might have been affected by some drugs. So this time, did the incense Zhu Chengxuan gave him really work?
Is he awake already?
Nian Qiu said, "Your Majesty, I'll go to the imperial kitchen and serve you breakfast. But—please let them know about lunch, okay?"
“…”
Nan Yan glared at her.
Nian Qiu went out with a smile.
Nan Yan simply ate some of the breakfast sent from the imperial kitchen. In fact, it was because she had no appetite recently.
However, Nian Qiu was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "It would be better if your Majesty eats less."
"Why?"
"The Emperor will definitely come over at noon. Your Majesty, please save some space and have lunch with the Emperor."
“…”
Nan Yan is already at a loss as to what to do with this girl.
But, seeing that her eyes had been curved with smiles since early morning and she could hardly open them, I knew that she was really happy for me.
And should I be happy too?
If Zhu Feng did not "change his mind".
Rather, it was Zhu Chengxuan's incense that worked; rather, he really recovered from the control of some kind of drug.
As if Nian Qiu’s words had really come true, Nan Yan didn’t eat much for breakfast.
The morning passed quickly.
On the boat, there was even less for everyone to do. Nan Yan did not go to the deck to enjoy the scenery because she had not been feeling well recently and was afraid of catching a cold. She just stayed in the room and looked at the scenery by the window for a while.
Time passed like the river, and soon it was noon.
Nian Qiu ran back and forth from here to the imperial study.
After a while, he came back again.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't come out yet."
"Your Majesty, there is still no movement in the imperial study."
"Your Majesty..."
As she was reporting, it was time for lunch. The imperial kitchen naturally delivered the dishes she had ordered before, one dish after another, so sumptuous.
Nan Yan sat at the table, looking at the dishes, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Am I a little bit...
How could you agree to this?
But at this moment, the sound of Nian Qiu's footsteps could be heard outside. She ran in happily and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has come out of the Imperial Study and is coming towards us!"
