Chapter 2495 But I don’t want to leave
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "What are the conditions?"
Nan Yan said, "From now on, when the emperor is detoxifying, I will be by his side."
Zhu Feng frowned when he heard this.
He said in a deep voice: "Are you confused? You have forgotten what you just said."
"I haven't forgotten."
“…”
"I know that if the emperor recalls the past, he may go crazy, and in serious cases, he may even kill someone."
"Then you still—"
"That's why I must stay by the emperor's side."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, but slowly turned around and looked at her with complicated eyes.
Also looked at her slender neck.
Last time, he had nearly snapped her neck, leaving her to die at his hands. That had been a nightmare for both of them. But now, she was putting herself in danger again.
Zhu Feng frowned and asked, "Why?"
Nan Yan straightened her back and said confidently, "Everyone knows that the Emperor favors the Imperial Concubine, and all the concubines in the harem regard me as their leader. I know that my virtue and talent are weak and unworthy of my position, but I can still handle it calmly because over the years, no matter how big or small the matter, no matter how difficult or dangerous it was, I have always been by the Emperor's side, marching shoulder to shoulder with him, fighting the enemy hand in hand."
“…”
"Only in this way can one be worthy of this status and this honor."
“…”
"If I cannot be with the emperor on such an important matter as detoxification, then I will not be able to be at peace with my role as the imperial concubine, let alone care about him."
Zhu Feng's breathing became heavy when he heard her words.
After Nan Yan finished speaking, she looked at him with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through his deep eyes and see into his heart.
She said word by word: "I must accompany the emperor!"
…
Zhu Feng was speechless for a moment.
Who in this world doesn't covet life? Who doesn't fear death? And how many women, indolent and unwilling to work, dream of soaring to the heights of fame and glory, dreaming of becoming a concubine, yet never considering the responsibilities they must shoulder.
But Nanyan is different.
She always puts her responsibilities and enjoyment in the same place, even if sometimes she only gives him "enjoyment", she doesn't want it.
Zhu Feng frowned and looked at him for a long time, his lips slightly opening and closing.
After a while, he murmured, "Are you stupid?"
It was clearly an insult, but when Nan Yan heard it, a smile appeared on her face.
This smile in Zhu Feng's eyes...
Even more stupid.
She was still completely unaware, and only looked at Zhu Feng seriously, asking, "Has the Emperor agreed to my request?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, but he still couldn't make a decision.
Normally, he could make decisions promptly even when it came to major events involving thousands of troops, but when it came to the life or death of this young woman, he would find it difficult to make a decision easily no matter what the time was.
He only said in a deep voice: "Let me think about it again."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan smiled, and did not loosen her arms around his waist. Instead, she pressed her whole body against his chest and whispered, "Anyway, I will not let go until the emperor agrees."
“…”
"It's okay for us to just wait like this."
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and smiled, "You won't let go? Then I have to go to the morning court, and you'll hold me like this too?"
“…”
Nan Yan blinked her eyes, and seemed to want to continue this shamelessness to the end, and said shamelessly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's better for me to stick to the emperor than to let others stick to the emperor every day."
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and said, "Are you going to talk about Xue Yun again?"
Nan Yan leaned against his chest and muttered, "The Emperor said it was to detoxify, but you and her were alone together for an hour or two. Who knows what you did?"
“…”
"Whether it's dangerous or not is another matter. Now that I know about it, I have to keep an eye on it."
“…”
"Lest you—"
"Asshole!"
Zhu Feng listened to her words becoming increasingly outrageous, so he simply reached out and twisted her face, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'm going to strangle you to death sooner or later!"
Nan Yan was twisted so hard by him that the corners of her mouth were about to crack to her ears.
But she chuckled, buried her face in his chest again, and whispered, "No matter what, even if there is danger, it should be me who stays by the emperor's side, not anyone else. Even Xue Yun is not allowed."
“…”
"I am the special one."
Zhu Feng said unhappily, "Of course you are special. Why aren't you special?"
“…”
"I think you are just particularly stupid, and no one else in the world can compare to you."
Nan Yan hugged his waist tightly: "Then the emperor agreed?"
“…”
Zhu Feng just stared at her.
After a long while, he finally sighed helplessly and said, "I promise you."
"real?!"
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately laughed with joy and said repeatedly, "That's great!"
Zhu Feng's face turned serious as he said, "But you have to promise me that no matter what happens, this matter must not be known to a fourth person."
“…”
"Especially—He Yi."
When he mentioned He Yi, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
Nan Yan was slightly stunned.
Although she knew that He Yi knew more about Zhu Feng's poisoning and detoxification than anyone else, and he might even know some details better than Zhu Feng, it was natural for Zhu Feng to hide it from him.
But, this is not the most important thing.
Even though she stayed in the harem all day, she had heard long ago that the emperor had been cold to the chief minister for a long time recently, and even stopped allowing him to participate in cabinet meetings.
Now that this was mentioned, the wariness in his eyes became even stronger.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, He Yi—"
Before she could ask, Zhu Feng said, "Okay, let's not talk about him."
“…”
"Anyway, I promise you, and you have to promise me too!"
After hearing what he said, Nan Yan didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, He Yi was a minister of the previous dynasty. If she said more, it would be suspected that the harem was interfering in politics.
So she nodded and said, "I understand. I promise Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng also nodded.
Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He also loosened his hands.
It was not until this moment that she realized that she had been wrapped around Zhu Feng like a vine, which was so ugly that she couldn't help but blush.
She said softly, "Then, I will not obstruct the emperor."
After saying that, he prepared to send Zhu Feng out.
But Zhu Feng was silent.
Nan Yan waited for a long time, but he didn't turn around to open the door. She couldn't help but look up at him in confusion, only to see Zhu Feng gritting his teeth, looking both angry and amused. He said, "Now, you want to kick me out?"
"Um……?"
"But I don't want to leave."
"Why?"
Nan Yan was stunned. Before she could react, she felt dizzy and screamed in fear: "Ah!"
It was Zhu Feng who picked himself up with one hand and held him under his armpit.
She asked in surprise, "What is the emperor doing?"
