Chapter 2278 I Allow You to Be Jealous
"Now that the late Queen has passed away, there are some things that I must take responsibility for."
“…”
"For example, after last night, I have to ask whether Xue Yun should be transferred from the Imperial Hospital to the harem."
Upon hearing Nan Yan's words, Zhu Feng's originally calm face suddenly became gloomy.
He said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
Nan Yan, however, had a smile on her face and said calmly, "Isn't it?"
“…”
"Last night, Imperial Physician Xue stayed in the Emperor's study all night to serve him... If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have thought anything of her, but I know her true identity. Even if the Emperor wants to hide it from others, he doesn't have to hide it from me as well."
“…”
This time, Zhu Feng's face looked very ugly.
He walked in front of Nan Yan, looked down at her, and said in a low voice with an invisible pressure, "Are you reminding me or warning me?"
Nan Yan also looked at him without blinking.
"I dare not."
“…”
Zhu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her for a moment, his eyes deep and heavy. After an unknown amount of time, he turned away, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Regarding Xue Yun, I do have a transfer."
“……!”
Nan Yan breathed in and tensed up.
She looked at Zhu Feng's back and said in a deep voice, "I wonder how the emperor is going to mobilize her."
Zhu Feng said, "From today on, the care of your health will be handed over to Wang Baizhi. He is a highly skilled doctor and will definitely be able to take care of your health. As for Xue Yun, she no longer needs to come to your palace every day to check your pulse."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "But Doctor Wang has always been at the Emperor's beckoning."
Zhu Feng said: "From today on, he will be at your disposal."
"What about Xue Yun?"
"From now on, she will obey my orders."
“…”
Zhu Feng turned around, looked at her gravely, and said, "From now on, she won't have to come near you and bother you anymore."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan felt as if some of the dry parts of her heart were suddenly ignited by a spark, and a surge of anger rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She laughed in anger: "The emperor said that we don't need to let her get in the way of me?"
“…”
"The Emperor said that I cannot tolerate her."
Zhu Feng said: "It's not what I say, but what you do."
Nan Yan asked, "What did I do?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, but looked at her solemnly, his eyes seemed to see through her entire body, from her eyes to her soul.
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Zhu Feng suddenly spoke, but he did not answer her question. Instead, he said, "Do you know how she feels about me?"
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She looked at Zhu Feng, her throat struggled twice, and then said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... understand?"
"Now, I'm asking you."
"……yes."
"When did you find out?"
"The night I gave birth to Chengjun, I called her to Yikun Palace just to ask about this matter."
“……!”
Hearing this, Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
Previously, Nan Yan said that she was called to Yiku Palace because she was not feeling well. It was also because of this that she missed the opportunity to discover the Wu rebellion and did not immediately take out the military order to transfer the garrison.
But now, he knew.
It turned out to be because of Xue Yun.
Zhu Feng frowned and asked, "What did she answer you?"
Nan Yan looked at him and said with some difficulty: "She said that she likes and loves the emperor."
“…”
"She likes the emperor and loves him."
When Zhu Feng heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and Nan Yan caught that flicker in time and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, you also know."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
But the expression on his face showed his agreement.
Nan Yan suddenly chuckled.
Zhu Feng continued, "So, everyone around you knows about it. They know her identity and what she's thinking?"
"……yes."
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "Then answer me why she is sick."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then looked up at him: "She... is sick?"
Are you sick?
Nan Yan suddenly felt something and turned to look at the still somewhat messy couch and the barely noticeable bloodstain on the cushion.
Could it be that——
Zhu Feng looked into her eyes and said, "Or, I can ask you this: Is her illness related to you?"
Nan Yan subconsciously lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
This was the first time she showed signs of shortness of breath since she entered the imperial study in such a rage.
When he saw her like this, a complicated expression appeared on Zhu Feng's face.
It was as if someone had pricked his chest with a sharp needle.
To him, it was not a big deal, nor was it a severe pain, but this feeling was incomparable to those serious injuries.
He said in a deep voice: "Really, it's you?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice: "Did you really do this?"
“…”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and was silent for a long while before she said, "It was me... She came to take my pulse that day, but I was still napping, so I asked her to wait at the door. Maybe she got sick because of standing there for a while."
"How can you get sick if you stand for a while?"
"Maybe, maybe she was standing in the wrong place. The weather was too cold."
“…”
Zhu Feng's eyes became increasingly heavy and complicated.
Although he didn't often go into the harem and was not willing to get involved in the affairs of those women, he had seen a lot of ways to compete for favor in the harem.
There are so many ways to deal with someone without leaving any trace in the harem.
He looked at Nan Yan's flickering eyes for a long time, then said in a deep voice: "Nan Yan...why did you do this?"
“…”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip, still stubbornly saying, "Why would I do this? As a noble concubine, don't I even have the right to make an imperial physician wait for a moment?"
"You know, I'm not talking about qualifications."
“…”
"You have the right to make anyone in this harem do anything. This qualification, or this power, is given to you by me. I believe you are worthy of this position."
“…”
"Now, let me ask you again, why did you do this?"
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and said stubbornly, "Does the emperor still remember? No, the emperor doesn't remember. But I can remind the emperor."
“…”
"Although I have never been willing to talk about the past, and I hope that Your Majesty can regain the feeling of the past, but this time, I want to tell Your Majesty that you once promised me that I would be jealous."
"You may be jealous..."
Hearing these four words, Zhu Feng's eyes flickered again.
He looked at Nan Yan for a while, then said, "I allow you to be jealous, but I don't allow you to do such a thing because of jealousy."
