Chapter 3565 Awakening
They had just experienced a great battle. Although it was not a life-and-death battle, the soldiers in the camp were still injured. They were all gathered at the back of the camp to rest and receive treatment. Therefore, there was no drill today. The whole camp was so quiet that the only sound was the patter of large raindrops falling to the ground.
There was also the heavy footsteps of Nan Yan.
When she reached out to open the curtain, the rain on her sleeves was even blown into the tent, startling the people inside so much that they almost jumped up.
He looked back and immediately came over with a pale face to pay his respects cautiously.
It’s Xiao Shunzi.
He had just been standing by the bed with a worried look on his face. He obviously knew that it was impossible for people outside to stop the imperial concubine, so he was so well-behaved at this time that he didn't dare to say a word. Nan Yan didn't even look at him, but looked directly at the bed on the side of the tent.
Zhu Feng was lying on the bed.
He was shirtless, covered only with a thin blanket, but it was obvious that his shoulder was wrapped in gauze, indicating that he was injured.
The air was also filled with a strong smell of blood.
According to the time when Zhu Chengjun and the others returned, Zhu Feng should have arrived at the camp long ago, and his wound should have been treated immediately. Even now, we can still smell the bloody smell.
Nan Yan immediately walked over and stopped by the bed. The tent was large enough, clearly specially prepared for the Emperor's rest. However, the raindrops were now hitting the tent with a crackling sound, and the interior was extremely noisy. But even with all the noise, and Nan Yan already reaching the bed, Zhu Feng hadn't woken up.
His face was pale and his lips were bloodless, obviously he had lost too much blood and was still in a coma.
Nan Yan said in a deep voice: "Where is the emperor injured?"
Xiao Shunzi followed her and said softly, "Heart."
"What?"
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows knitted together and her breathing became a little disordered: "Is the injury serious?"
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Madam, the wound is not deep."
"Not deep? If not deep, why hasn't the emperor woken up yet? Moreover, I can still smell such a strong smell of blood?"
“…”
Xiao Shunzi had a bitter face and was silent for a while before he said softly, "Originally, the injury this time was not serious, but—but, it brought up the emperor's old injury."
"Old injury?"
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart sank.
The old wound on Zhu Feng's heart was none other than the one that was left by the almost fatal blow dealt to Zhu Feng by Jie Shi, a killer from the Dian Kingdom, at the wedding banquet of Li Bushang and Xie Jiaojiao. After that, Zhu Feng was in a coma for several months, almost hovering on the line between life and death. After he finally woke up, he was faced with the Dian Kingdom's army pressing in, and the troops were at the gates of Beiping. Zhu Feng ignored his own safety and forcibly pulled the Divine Arm Bow to repel Monk, but his serious wound was torn open again.
After that, it became a chronic disease for him.
Although he had no obvious pain over the years, his body would be affected whenever the weather was cold. Even because of the influence of that old injury, Nan Yan understood that Zhu Feng's health was no longer as good as before.
Unexpectedly, this time again——
She gritted her teeth and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
Xiao Shunzi said softly, "It's Li, it's Li Wushang."
“…”
Hearing these three words, Nan Yan's face darkened.
At the same time, a dull thunder rolled across the sky, as if it was going to shake the entire earth apart. The atmosphere in the tent became even more depressing. Xiao Shunzi even felt a little breathless, but he didn't dare to say anything more and just lowered his head.
After a long time, the imperial concubine finally said coldly, "Alright, get out now."
“…”
"No one is allowed to approach here without my permission."
Xiao Shunzi did not dare to delay and quickly left the tent after responding.
Nan Yan stood by the bed, looking at him quietly for a long time, then slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to gently stroke his cheek.
It's cool.
She didn't say anything, her eyes filled with anger and heartache, all kinds of emotions entangled together, like the dense raindrops outside, crackling on the tent continuously, but there was a strange sense of silence in the tent, and this feeling has been enveloping the surroundings.
It is a rare kind of tranquility.
However, Zhu Feng could not feel anything. He lost all five senses and was trapped in a thick darkness. He could not hear or see anything. The darkness seemed to surround him tightly. Even though he had been invincible on the battlefield all his life, he had no way to escape from such an encirclement.
He just slept quietly like that.
He didn't know how long it was before he felt a warm and gentle hand gently caressing his cheek. Even if it was just a slight touch, he could feel the hand's compassion from the warm temperature.
Just this little bit of pity suddenly pulled his consciousness out of the darkness.
Then, he heard the sound of rain around him. It was the sound of dense raindrops falling on the tent, crackling like drumbeats on the battlefield. The rapid sound made him frown.
Immediately, he heard a soft but urgent voice beside his ear: "Your Majesty...?"
This time, he was completely sober.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a pale, tired-looking face, almost right in front of me. Those bloodshot red eyes were staring at me like nails, as if I was afraid that I would disappear in the blink of an eye.
It's Nan Yan...
As soon as he saw this familiar face, a faint smile immediately appeared on Zhu Feng's face.
"you--"
He opened his mouth, but his dry throat felt like it was being scraped by a knife, and only hoarse words came out, which immediately caused him to cough in pain.
Nan Yan hurriedly brought the teacup over, and without helping him up, she dipped a spoon in some water and applied it to his lips. Zhu Feng licked it, still staring at the cup in her hand with unsatisfied eyes. Nan Yan said in a deep voice: "The emperor has lost too much blood and cannot drink too much water."
“…”
After hearing these words, Zhu Feng seemed to come back to his senses.
Excessive blood loss… ?
By the way, I took my men to the Doubei Town granary. As expected, Li Wushang was also there. Although he had been tricked, when he was confronting me——
Suddenly, Zhu Feng's breath stopped.
He subconsciously looked down and saw that half of his chest was exposed from the thin blanket. It was wrapped in thick gauze, and there was even a faint blood stain on it. His face changed immediately.
At this moment, Nan Yan's cold voice sounded in my ears——
"Your Majesty, have you not yet figured out how to deal with me?"
“…”
"It doesn't matter. I'm here. Your Majesty, take your time to think about it. When you think of it, you can ask me again."
