Chapter 1278 A pair of eye sockets
The moment the woman opened her eyes, Nan Yan's eyes widened suddenly, she covered her mouth with her hands, and almost screamed.
Zhu Feng immediately turned around and protected her.
Nan Yan subconsciously grabbed his sleeve with one hand, rested her forehead on his shoulder, and listened to her own heartbeat like a drum.
She was scared to death just now.
But after a while, her heartbeat gradually calmed down. She couldn't help but stick her head out and take another look. She saw that the woman on the bed had woken up. She propped herself up in panic and looked around, saying over and over again: "Where is this place? Is there anyone here? Who are you?"
To say that she was "looking around" might not be correct.
Because she couldn't see at all.
When the woman turned her head to face them again, Nan Yan saw her face again, her eyes - they could no longer be called eyes.
Those were a pair of empty eye sockets.
She has no eyes!
It was as if those eyes had been gouged out, leaving only two brown-red holes on the face. Just one look at it made people shudder and break out in cold sweats.
Feeling Nan Yan shiver, Zhu Feng immediately held her hand.
He said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"
Nan Yan quickly retracted her head.
The woman on the bed heard his voice and became even more anxious. She kept waving her hands in the air, as if trying to grab something. Her panicked expression, because she had no eyes, did not make people feel pitiful, but rather a little scary.
She kept shouting, "Who is it? Who are you?"
The sound was shrill and hoarse, and even in broad daylight it sounded like a ghost crying.
Zhu Feng frowned.
When he first walked in and saw the woman's face wrapped in thick bandages, even stained with blood, he had a rough guess. He was afraid that the ugly scene would scare Nan Yan, so he wanted to push her out. Later, when he saw that she insisted on seeing it, he decided to scare her to prevent her from causing trouble all day long.
But I didn't expect that this look would be so scary.
The woman was still waving her hands, even hitting the bedpost. She didn't feel any pain from the banging and kept shouting loudly.
"Who are you? Speak! Speak!"
Zhu Feng frowned and winked at Wang Baizhi.
Wang Baizhi hurried forward to support the woman and said, "Madam, please don't get excited."
When the woman heard Wang Baizhi's voice, she grabbed his wrist with her backhand: "Who are you?!"
"I--"
"Are you going to harm me too?"
"What?"
"I won't let you succeed, let me go!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and pushed Wang Baizhi away and tried to get out of bed.
Wang Baizhi hurriedly said: "Madam, please don't—"
Before he could finish his words, the woman waved his hand away again and shouted, "I don't want to listen to you. You men are all bad guys. Let me go!"
Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian looked at each other and couldn't help frowning.
They picked up the person and originally just wanted to save a life, but now it seems that it is not as simple as saving a life. The woman's eyes were gouged out, and from the sound of her voice, it seems that she has been greatly wronged.
However, it is not acceptable to talk nonsense like this in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine.
Then, two people also stepped forward -
"Madam, please calm down first."
"We want to help you, too."
Hearing so many voices at once, the woman became even more anxious.
It feels like being trapped in a wolf's den.
She shouted loudly: "Everyone get out of my way, don't touch me, if you dare to touch me, I will fight you to the death!"
As she spoke, she grabbed the leg of a nearby stool with one hand and immediately swung it up.
Keep waving it around.
"Go away, all of you!"
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng frowned.
As an emperor, he didn't like seeing someone acting crazy in front of him. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Nan Yan's gentle voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"You, don't be afraid first."
When the woman heard that there was another woman here, she immediately became quieter.
She opened her terrifying eye sockets wide, but could no longer see anything. She could only panic and ask, "You, who are you?"
At this time, Nan Yan whispered in Zhu Feng's ear, "Your Majesty, please let me go over and talk to her."
Zhu Feng frowned.
He did not forget how scared Nan Yan was just now.
Said: "This kind of thing doesn't require you."
Nan Yan said, "Who else could it be with her in this state?"
“…”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. She's blind. I'll be fine."
“…”
"Your Majesty and Lord Wang, please go out first," he said, and then turned to Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian: "You also go out first."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "You, are you really okay?"
Nan Yan laughed and said, "She's blind..."
The voice of this sentence was a little louder. When the woman heard it, she immediately became quiet, with a dejected and frustrated expression on her face.
Zhu Feng felt more relieved when he saw her like this.
Then he said, "I have someone guarding the door. If anything happens, call for help immediately. Don't try to be reckless."
Nan Yan said, "Don't worry."
So Zhu Feng took Wang Baizhi and the others away.
After they all left, the woman became quieter when she heard the footsteps leaving. Nan Yan walked over, carefully helped her up from the ground, and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
Her voice is gentle and clear, and it gives people a very reassuring feeling when they hear it.
The woman was still trembling slightly, clearly from fear and panic. Nan Yan helped her sit back on the bed. She spoke to Nan Yan anxiously, "Where is this place? Who are you?"
Nan Yan said: "This is from Shazhouwei, I am the hostess here."
“…”
"My husband's surname is Zhu."
"Madam Zhu."
The woman calmed down and was not so scary anymore, just very panicked: "Why am I here?"
Nan Yan said: "My two brothers came back from outside and saw you fainted on the side of the road, so they rescued you."
"oh……"
She murmured, "Yes, I, I came and knocked on the city gate, but no one answered. I had nowhere to go, so I could only wander around, and then—"
Nan Yan looked at her, but was a little afraid to look at her.
Those empty eye sockets are really scary.
Nan Yan could only tilt her head to one side, trying to make her voice sound calm and gentle, and asked, "What's your name?"
The woman said, "Me? My name is Chu Xin."
"Original intention?"
It’s a very nice name.
It was somewhat inconsistent with her terrifying appearance.
Nan Yan glanced at her, then looked away in fear, and said softly, "Then you, why are you here? What are you doing here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious expression appeared on Chu Xin's face.
