Chapter 2872 I say I am willing
At this time, Wang Baizhi finished taking the pulse.
He looked back at Zhu Feng and Nan Yan, his face full of sadness, and shook his head slightly.
At this moment, Zhu Feng's heart seemed to be broken. He looked up at Xin Qing, and the unspeakable pain almost knocked down this indestructible man in an instant.
Nan Yan had already covered her mouth and turned her face to the side, tears streaming down her face like a tide.
Xinqing, on the other hand, smiled even more gently.
The light of the setting sun shone on her face, as if it was coated with a layer of golden light, and it was as if a gentle light emanated from her entire heart.
She said, "Your Majesty, please don't be sad."
“…”
"I was born in a humble family, but I was taken in by the late emperor, and allowed to stay by his side and take care of him. I feel indescribable satisfaction in my heart. I could live such a peaceful and happy life, which I could never have dreamed of."
“…”
"All of this was given to me by the Emperor."
“…”
"Even if I die, I will always think of the good things about Your Majesty. Even if I go to heaven, I will pray for Your Majesty every day. The world belongs to Your Majesty, and I naturally cannot control it, but I will pray that Your Majesty will be happy throughout his life, have someone close to him by his side, and grow old together."
Nan Yan's heart was almost broken.
Zhu Feng reached out and held Xinqing's soft and thin hand tightly.
Since childhood, or rather, since he could remember, Xinqing had been by his side. Although she had been a slave and later became his concubine, he actually felt more like a sister, like a relative - the hardships and dangers she had experienced with him were taken for granted by everyone, even him. He was not like Nanyan, who would be sad when she was injured or scared when she experienced danger.
But actually, what’s the difference?
She is also a woman, and she is not born brave and fearless. When she is in danger, she also needs someone to protect her, and when she is lonely, she also needs someone to accompany her.
But, all this was known too late.
Zhu Feng looked at her, feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak. He just stared at her with his red eyes.
It seems as if I want to carve her figure into my heart.
Xinqing just smiled at him gently.
Seeing them like this, Nan Yan couldn't stop crying. She also knew that at this time, they should be given some time alone together. She really shouldn't be here during this last bit of time.
So she turned around and was about to leave.
But just as she was about to leave, Xinqing stopped her.
"Your Highness..."
“……?”
Nan Yan looked back in surprise.
At this moment, at the end of her life, didn't Xin Qing want to be alone with Zhu Feng? Let her stay here. Although they had always had a good relationship, at this moment, it was reasonable to leave them with some memories that belonged only to the two of them.
But Xinqing said softly, "Don't leave."
Even Zhu Feng looked at her in surprise.
Xin Qing said calmly, "I asked the Imperial Concubine to come along because I have something I want to give to the Emperor—but most importantly, I ask the Imperial Concubine to keep it safe."
“……?”
“……?”
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.
Is she going to explain her belongings?
But, if it was to be handed over to the Emperor, why not just give it directly to Zhu Feng? Why did he have to give it to Nan Yan for safekeeping? What was going on?
Everyone was shocked, but Xinqing didn't explain much. She just said to Yilan, "You, go and take out the box at the bottom of the box."
"yes."
Yilan nodded and went into the inner room.
After a while, she came out with a mahogany box and put it on the table.
"My lady, the things are here."
"Um,"
Xin Qing said, "You should step back. You all, please leave as well."
Everyone understood that she must have something to say before she died, so Wang Baizhi, Yilan and the others all left the hall and closed the door.
There were only three of them left in the room.
Xin Qing continued, "I have something to say to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Nan Yan seemed to sense something.
She should have done more than just say goodbye before her death or leave behind a legacy.
And that box—it looked vaguely familiar.
Feeling that Zhu Feng was sitting on the edge of the bed, his body was a little shaky. Nan Yan knew that his body was still very weak. Just being carried over had already consumed too much energy. So, she walked behind Zhu Feng, reached out and gently supported him as his support.
Seeing this scene, the smile in Xinqing's eyes became even gentler.
It seems that I feel more at ease.
She said softly, "My parents died when I was young. When I was fleeing, Emperor Gao and Empress Xiaoci saved my life. After that, I stayed by Empress Xiaoci's side and served her. Later, the Prince of Yan—that is, the Emperor—returned to Yan State, and I was given to the Emperor to serve him."
“…”
"I don't know what the Emperor has been through to have suffered so much... so much, but I know in my heart that the Emperor Gao has always been very concerned about the Emperor."
I don't know why she brought this up.
Zhu Feng's eyes became even redder.
As soon as Nan Yan heard it, she knew that she was talking about the time when Zhu Feng lost his memory after Emperor Gao used the drug "Taishangwangqing".
It turns out that she knew.
In fact, of course she knew, but she was just a slave at the time, and apart from knowing this incident, she didn't know any more details.
Xin Qing continued, "At that time, Your Majesty was still young and didn't know how to deal with the things he encountered. Your Majesty, do you still remember that time when you were sad and in pain, and once you secretly ran away from the palace?"
Zhu Feng's eyes were filled with tears.
He thought for a moment and said, "I remember now."
“…”
"My mind is blank, I can't remember anything. The Emperor Gao is also cold and indifferent to me. I feel that everyone in the world is a stranger. I live too lonely in such a world. So I want to seek death."
Xinqing smiled and said, "It's just that the emperor is too young."
Zhu Feng said: "At that time, I really encountered a group of bandits. They knew I was not from an ordinary family by my clothes and wanted to rob me. Later, it was you -"
Xinqing smiled.
She said, "I was so brave that I rescued the emperor and even hid in a mountain cave for a whole day."
Zhu Feng said: "I remember that time, it was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for you, I might have——"
Xin Qing said softly, "After returning to the palace, Emperor Gao and Empress Xiaoci had a private talk with me."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng was a little surprised; he didn't know about this. Xin Qing smiled gently and said, "They asked me if I could always protect the Emperor with my life, just like I did that time."
