Chapter 943 Embrace of the Dark Night
At this moment, deep in the palace.
Zhu Feng, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
Inside the vast bedroom, the candlelight flickered, creating the illusion of a trembling earth. Zhu Feng opened his eyes but didn't move immediately. Instead, he stared expressionlessly at the curtains overhead.
He looked at it for a long time without saying a word or even making a sound.
Then he slowly sat up.
In the bedroom, besides him, there was another person, He Yi, who was sitting on a chair on the other side, supporting his forehead with one hand and taking a nap with his eyes closed.
He hasn't closed his eyes these days.
It was also tonight that he felt that Zhu Feng's condition had stabilized a little, and his own body could no longer bear it, so he reluctantly closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Zhu Feng sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at his pale jade-like face.
He made no sound, not even the sound of his breathing. He slowly stood up, pushed the door open and walked out.
In winter in Peking, the cold wind is howling and the sky is covered with ice and snow.
Zhu Feng was only wearing a thin shirt and walking in such a cold weather, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all, and even sweat kept coming out of his head.
Because at this moment, what he saw was not ice and snow.
But the sky is full of yellow sand.
The feeling almost suffocated him, and the fire of karma in his heart continued to burn with the whistling wind, almost rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
It’s hot, so hot!
The murderous intent in his heart was constantly surging with the heat.
She looked left, then right, and around, but didn't see anyone. However, there was only a trace of clarity left in her heart. She knew she had to find an exit, or rather, find someone.
Who is it?
Where is she?
"Where are you……"
His low voice came from his throat with the sound of a beast's growl, which was frightening.
But, perhaps it was fortunate that there was no one around.
Worried that his condition would be discovered by people outside the palace and that some people would take advantage of it, Empress Xu Miaoyin, He Yi, and Ye Zheng had already ordered the dismissal of all the palace residents nearby.
So there was no one around, and when Zhu Feng walked in such a palace, he felt like he was in a desert.
"Where are you……"
He was like a trapped beast, unable to find a way out, but unwilling to give up. He could only keep muttering and move forward step by step.
Passing through countless pavilions, towers, and beautiful buildings.
In his blurred vision, he saw a big gate in front of him. Unlike the bustling and chaotic scenes in other places, this gate, although also red in color and looked very new, exuded an indescribable, low and deserted feeling.
That feeling attracted him to walk over slowly.
I reached out and pushed open the door. A hoarse and long creaking sound gradually spread in the night.
…
At this time, Nan Yan, like Zhu Feng before, was lying flat on the bed, with an expressionless face, pale and haggard, staring straight at the curtain above her head.
But her heart is not blank.
But there are thousands of threads, all tangled together.
At this time, she was also very clear that she was standing on the edge of a cliff and she didn't know when she might fall to pieces, but before that, she still did what she wanted to do.
She protected her man.
In the past, it was always him who single-handedly went to the Yue State camp, and even to the territory of the Neng State, to rescue herself. Every time she saw him like that, she felt both moved and heartbroken.
There is also a little bit of unevenness.
It seemed that I would only cause him trouble, and he, apart from giving me a few twists, would always silently bear everything. As the king of a country, he had to experience dangers that a king should not have to experience.
This time, I'm finally of some use.
Thinking of this, a small smile appeared on her face.
I am not completely useless, nor am I the kind of spineless woman who only hides in the protection of men and enjoys herself with the mentality of "save me from fear, save me from suffering, save me from being left alone".
As his concubine, I can shoulder the same burden as my own honorary position.
I not only protected him, but also protected this country.
only……
Until now, Zhu Feng has not woken up.
Thinking of this, her brows furrowed again.
Of course she knew that Zhu Feng's body was very strong. Even if he went to the battlefield and was stabbed several times and bleeding profusely, he could still stand firm. But sometimes, the harder someone's outer shell was, the more fragile his heart was.
Because we are fragile inside, we have to build a hard shell to protect ourselves.
And he...
What exactly does his past and his nightmare hide?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps. This cold palace has always been deserted. If it weren't for Nanny Su or Qin Ruolan coming, no one would come here.
They won’t come in the middle of the night.
Who is it?
Nan Yan sat up subconsciously and saw a tall figure standing outside the door. The familiar outline made her eyes widen suddenly.
Before he could even open his mouth, the door was pushed open.
The icy wind, carrying broken snow, suddenly rushed into the room, and Nan Yan watched with her own eyes the figure that had been lingering in front of her eyes whether she was awake or in a dream, appearing before her in reality.
He walked to his bed.
It was pitch black all around, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. When he stared at himself, it was as if his gaze had solidified into a solid entity.
Wherever I look at on my body, that place will feel burning hot.
"emperor……"
Nan Yan was completely dumbfounded. She opened her mouth and uttered these two words in disbelief.
The tall figure suddenly bent down and held her tightly.
“……!”
Breathing, choking.
My heartbeat also stopped.
She was suddenly surrounded by a familiar scent, embraced by those strong hands, and snuggled into his arms, just like every time in the past, when he hugged her gently and breathed in her ear.
All the sweet memories of the two of them came alive in her mind at this moment.
"emperor……?"
Her tears suddenly flowed out.
Are you awake?
Are you coming to see me?
You're okay, right?
She wanted to ask, but before she could open her mouth, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
His hug—
In the past, his hugs were also very strong, as if he wanted to merge himself into his flesh and blood, but even in his enthusiasm, there was a bit of restraint.
After all, he is so strong and powerful.
But now, he seems unable to restrain himself.
Those hands were like iron pliers, getting stronger and stronger.
Nan Yan felt that she couldn't breathe, and her whole body seemed to be shattered in his arms.
