Chapter 1277 You are no longer in my heart!
His face was as pale as paper and intact, without a single wound on his body, but his eyes were clearly filled with hurt, as if he was in so much pain that he didn't even have any emotion.
He just lowered his head and looked at Nan Yan coldly.
"What about me and your child?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him, speechless, only tears fell like beads with broken strings, sliding down and dripping onto her hands that were almost unable to support herself.
My body is so cold, but my tears are still hot.
But at this moment, it was so hot that she shivered.
Zhu Feng's words echoed in her ears word by word, like a knife stabbing her heart, but she had no way to answer.
Where are the children?
What about their two children?
She couldn't answer.
She had no way of telling him that the child, whom they had been waiting for so eagerly and loved so much, was gone before he could even be born or see them.
All the love and enthusiasm turned into a basin of blood.
Cold and lifeless.
She couldn't say it.
Only tears kept falling down her face. She looked at Zhu Feng in despair and reached out once again, wanting to grab his hand: "Your Majesty..."
"I said so," Zhu Feng's voice was always calm and firm. Even in the most desperate moments on the battlefield with blood and flesh flying everywhere, he never trembled. But at this moment, his voice trembled violently: "This is my child, your child - our child."
“…”
"I have been looking forward to his arrival."
“…”
"No matter what I do, I hope this child is born safely. I even want to give him everything."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart trembled and she looked up at him.
Zhu Feng also looked down at her, but at this moment, his eyes were completely cold, as if frozen. All the sadness, grief, and even anger were frozen in a place that Nan Yan could not reach.
"But what did you do?"
Nan Yan's tears burst out and her voice choked.
"I--"
"You ruined this kid. You ruined him."
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming crimson in the cold white light of lightning. He said grimly, "You actually disregarded the danger of the child just for Jian Ruocheng. For him—"
"No."
Nan Yan panicked. She shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, listen to me!"
Zhu Feng looked at her coldly.
"What are you saying?"
“…”
"Listen to your story. How did you, for the sake of Jian Ruocheng, force yourself out of the palace despite being pregnant and break into the Heavenly Prison for him?"
“…”
"Let me tell you, your recklessness means you're leaving this child behind?"
"I don't!"
"You didn't? Si Nanyan, you know exactly what I care about the most. I don't care if the scheme I set up from Chong'en Tower is destroyed, or if the Jinyiwei fails because of your appearance. I don't even care if the mastermind behind this is not caught."
…
Nan Yan was trembling violently.
In fact, she understood it from the moment Li Bushang and the Jinyiwei appeared in the Heavenly Prison.
And when she saw Zhu Feng appear unharmed at that moment, she already knew everything.
He had anticipated the fire at Chong'en Tower.
You could even say he designed it.
He sent Xiao Shunzi and Chen Xuan to Jinling to take over the construction of Chong'en Pagoda. His intention was to open the Da Ci'en Temple this time to lure the mastermind behind the scenes to take action. So he built a secret underground palace under the Chong'en Pagoda. Even though the huge fire broke out suddenly and was terrifying, he could appear here unscathed.
However, he was worried about Jian Ruocheng's life or death.
Because of my appearance——
Everything fell through at the last moment.
Tears streamed down her face, and Nan Yan couldn't stop crying, but she kept reaching out to grab his hand. However, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how hard she wanted to get close to him, she was unable to do so.
He is right in front of me.
But it seemed as if it had reached a place that he could not reach.
His gaze seemed to be looking at her from a distance. There was no warmth or tenderness in it, only a deep coldness and strangeness.
It's like I've never known myself.
This realization terrified Nan Yan. She bit her lower lip, even breaking it. The tip of her tongue tasted the salty and astringent taste of blood, which made her tremble constantly. Relying on the stimulation of the blood, she propped herself up with all her strength, with most of her body sticking out of the bed, and finally grabbed his hand.
Zhu Feng lowered his head and looked at her pale and weak fingers. She grabbed his wrist with the hope and weak strength of a drowning person grabbing the last straw.
He said coldly: "I don't care about anything."
“…”
"But I can't help but feel indifferent. You killed our child for Jian Ruocheng!"
After saying this, he waved his hand vigorously.
At that moment, Nan Yan felt dizzy. Zhu Feng suddenly pulled his hand out, and she lost her support and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"ah!"
A cry of pain frightened Ran Xiaoyu outside the door. She rushed in and saw Nan Yan fallen to the ground, tears streaming down her face, but she still forced herself to raise her head and look at Zhu Feng.
"Empress!"
Ran Xiaoyu was frightened and rushed over to support Nan Yan, holding her in her arms. She looked up at Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is not what you think. She is just..."
She wanted to explain, but Nan Yan reached out and stopped her.
She raised her head, and although her heart had completely fallen into the abyss at this moment, she still looked at him stubbornly, wanting to make a final effort.
She choked with sobs and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty."
“…”
"I know the emperor blames me, he hates me, because you are so eager to have this child, and I am also eager to have him, but I - I failed to protect him, I put him in danger, it's my fault."
“…”
"But--"
When she said this, she gritted her teeth and tried to hold back her tears. She raised her head, and her eyes, filled with tears, reflected the cold white lightning outside, making her look particularly pale and haggard at this moment. She said in a hoarse voice, "But Your Majesty, can you forgive me?"
“…”
"Because I am in pain, and I am sad too."
“…”
"Will you forgive me?"
Zhu Feng spoke with a cold gaze, and even his voice was cold—
"I've said before that you're in my heart. I allow you to be frivolous, but now I understand that it's because of this that you're so fearless."
"emperor……"
Nan Yan only felt her heart sinking little by little, sinking into the bottomless abyss.
"Sinanyan,"
He said word by word: "You shouldn't be in my heart."
“…”
"You are no longer in my heart!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked out without looking back.
