Chapter 3164 She is his regret
The two girls in white looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Second Master Jian naturally left with the Taoist priest."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan frowned and fell silent.
Left.
He left with Xu Miaoming?
I remember that when the two of them met before, Nan Yan specifically told him not to leave without saying goodbye, because everyone knew that after this separation, they would be separated by great distances and would hardly meet again.
He clearly said that, but he still left like that.
The loss in her heart surged like a tide, almost drowning her and suffocating her. At this time, Nan Yan remembered that when she mentioned that she should not leave without saying goodbye, Jian Ruocheng did not agree to her at all.
He didn't even respond to her words.
I think from that time on, he had already made up his mind to leave without saying goodbye.
Why?
With Xu Miaoming's character, it is impossible for him to do such a thing. This is obviously what Jian Ruocheng himself meant.
He knew clearly that she was most afraid of leaving without saying goodbye, and that they would never meet again after this separation, but he still did it, as if he deliberately wanted to leave Nan Yan with regrets.
Probably because she is the biggest regret in his life.
Nan Yan stood at the gate, feeling an overwhelming sense of loss and emptiness, enveloping her like a tide, making her feel so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
He didn't notice at all that Zhu Feng's face turned pale.
However, he did not get angry immediately.
He just glanced at Nan Yan, then said to the people around him: "Let's rest here tonight and take the boat to Jinling early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he said to the two girls in white, "Lead the way."
The two girls in white clothes immediately said, "Your Majesty, please come in."
Although it was someone else's place, all under heaven belonged to the king. Zhu Feng felt like it was his own place here. He returned to the courtyard where they lived before with familiarity. The servants naturally went down to do their own things. Only Nan Yan walked slowly to the window and sat down, watching the sunset outside. The bleak scenery made her feel even more depressed at the moment.
Zhu Feng originally ignored her and sat on a chair beside her to drink tea.
However, after doing this for most of the day, it was almost dark, and Nan Yan still looked lost.
He couldn't help himself for a moment and put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.
With a "clang", the tea spilled out and splashed onto his hands.
Nan Yan seemed startled at this, almost jumping up from the couch, staring at Zhu Feng with wide eyes in confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Zhu Feng then glanced at her coldly.
Without saying anything, he stood up and walked out.
“…”
Looking at his back which was obviously filled with anger, Nan Yan began to react, but Zhu Feng walked very quickly and disappeared in a moment. Nan Yan just stood at the door and looked at the dark dusk outside, her expression becoming even gloomier.
Ruoshui came over and asked cautiously, "My Lady, have you made the Emperor angry?"
“…”
"Don't you want to go over and comfort her?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it."
Ruoshui looked at her in surprise. Although she knew that her majesty was favored and she was the only one among so many concubines who could follow Zhu Feng all over the country, but if she didn't try to appease the emperor when he got him angry, wasn't she really afraid that Zhu Feng would completely ignore her?
In fact, Nan Yan knows how to coax Zhu Feng. She not only knows how to coax him, but also knows when to coax him.
Besides, she was in such a low mood now that she really didn't have the energy to comfort others. It wouldn't be a bad thing to let everyone calm down at this time.
Since the imperial concubine did not move, Ruoshui, as a servant, naturally did not dare to interfere.
Moreover, she was feeling somewhat lost at the moment. She hadn't expected Xu Miaoming and Jian Ruocheng to leave so soon, without even leaving any news. Feeling somewhat sad, she left silently alone.
Everyone spent this night feeling lost or sad.
They set out early the next morning, before daybreak.
Nan Yan was still sitting in the same carriage with Zhu Feng, swaying towards the ferry. Perhaps because it was still dark, Zhu Feng's face was still dark. After getting on the carriage, he just sat opposite Nan Yan, closing his eyes as if to catch up on his sleep, and ignored her completely.
Nan Yan waited for a long time, but he still didn't say a word.
When she could no longer wait, Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty...?"
“…”
No one paid any attention to her.
"Your Majesty, are you ignoring me?"
Still no one paid any attention to her.
"It's been a whole night, and the Emperor is still angry?"
“…”
"What is the emperor angry about?"
“…”
"Well, no matter what the emperor is angry about, it is definitely my fault. I apologize to the emperor. No matter what I did wrong, the emperor, please don't be angry, okay?"
Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of tenderness. In the past, Zhu Feng would have opened his eyes, pinched her face, or scolded her. But this time, he seemed determined. Not only did he not open his eyes, but he didn't even open his tightly pursed lips. He waited until the carriage arrived at the ferry and Xiao Shunzi outside reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the boat is waiting."
Zhu Feng then opened his eyes, without even looking at Nan Yan, he opened the car door and jumped out.
The light was dim, and his expression became even gloomier.
Everyone had already figured out from the somewhat tense atmosphere this morning that this gentleman and the Imperial Concubine had been arguing again. Although they didn't know what they were arguing about, based on past habits, it was easy for the Imperial Concubine to calm this gentleman down as long as she spoke. But they hadn't expected that after a long carriage ride and even arriving at the ferry, the Imperial Concubine still hadn't managed to calm him down.
Seeing his expression, everyone was naturally cautious and didn't dare to breathe.
Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and was about to lead the way.
But just as Zhu Feng was walking forward, he heard Nan Yan's cry from behind: "Ouch!"
He turned around hurriedly and saw Nan Yan jumping off the carriage, but somehow she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Zhu Feng's face turned pale with shock, and he rushed over to hug her: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan easily climbed up to his chest with one hand, firmly grasping the front of his shirt. With the other hand, she touched her ankle and said pitifully, "I sprained my ankle."
"you--"
Zhu Feng's face darkened again and he clenched his teeth.
Nan Yan was so scared that he was about to yell at her again that she closed her eyes. But Zhu Feng raised his head and yelled at Xiao Shunzi and Ruoshui, who were already panicking, "Don't you have eyes? Why didn't you help the imperial concubine get out of the carriage?!"
