Chapter 1482: What is the fault of the child? Born in heaven
He let go of the little hand all of a sudden, as if he had touched a red-hot charcoal.
The nanny still didn't know what was going on. She just knelt on the ground, looked at him in surprise, and whispered, "Your Majesty...?"
Xu Miaoyin was sitting next to him. Seeing him like this, she also asked softly, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
But one could clearly feel that his breathing was disordered, perhaps even his heartbeat was disordered, and those eyes that had always been deep and unfathomable were now flickering with an uncertain light.
This is something no one has ever seen before.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng suddenly reached out and took the swaddling clothes from the nanny's hands. The nanny asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng said, "You guys go down first and prepare for the princess's funeral."
“…”
"When everything is ready, I will send the princess over."
Judging from his expression, he wants to stay with the little princess who has passed away forever.
The nanny, the imperial physician behind her, and some of the surrounding concubines were all stunned. According to etiquette, the emperor shouldn't do this, but now, he had to hold the dead little princess in his arms...
Could it be that the emperor is so sad about the death of his daughter?
Just as everyone was puzzled, Nan Yan stepped forward and said softly, "It is indeed a pity that Your Majesty has lost his beloved daughter, but I hope Your Majesty will not be too sad. It is important to take care of your health."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just looked at her.
His eyes flickered, as if he had a lot to say, but he was silent and suppressed.
Nan Yan sighed softly, turned to the Empress and said, "Empress, shall we... withdraw first?"
The "we" she was talking about naturally referred to herself and the other concubines in Yanchun Pavilion, but if the queen thought about it carefully, she would understand that this "we" also included the queen herself.
At this time, she was the one who took charge of the situation.
Xu Miaoyin glanced at her, understood what was going on, and stood up and saluted Zhu Feng.
Everyone followed her and bowed down to pay their respects.
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, please do not be too sad. Take care of your health."
Then, he led everyone out.
Just as everyone reached the door, Concubine An suddenly asked, "Empress Hui, what's wrong with you?"
Everyone looked back and saw that Wu Wan had accidentally tripped over the threshold and almost fell. Fortunately, the little palace maid beside her and Concubine An reached out to help her and held her up.
Xu Miaoyin turned around and looked at her: "Hmm?"
Wu Wan's face was a little pale, and she just waved her hand: "It's okay."
Having said that, he walked out.
Seeing her like this, everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions. They all retreated outside. Just as Nan Yan walked to the door and was about to leave, Zhu Feng's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Nan Yan."
“…”
Nan Yan stopped suddenly.
She looked back and saw that there were so many people standing in the huge Yanchun Pavilion just now, and it seemed like a lively scene, but all of a sudden they left and only he was left sitting alone in the chair, holding the cold, lifeless little princess in his arms. This feeling of desolation was heartbreaking.
Nan Yan said softly, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
“…”
Although he called her, Zhu Feng did not speak immediately, but just turned around and looked at her.
That look seemed complicated and lost.
Nan Yan also looked at him for a while, but said softly: "Your Majesty needs to stay quiet for a while now. I will serve you outside. If Your Majesty summons me, I will come immediately."
“…”
Her meaning was also very clear.
If you don't know what to say to me, I won't hang around in front of you.
If you need me, I'll be there.
Such a gentle attitude made Zhu Feng's already somewhat cold heart feel a little worldly warmth. He looked at Nan Yan for a while before saying, "You have been tired for a long time, so take a good rest."
The sentence "I've been tired for a long time" is very heavy.
Nan Yan looked at him for a while, then said softly, "...Yes."
She nodded and stepped back out.
As soon as she left, the door of Yanchun Pavilion was immediately closed.
Xiao Shunzi was guarding the door and persuading all the concubines to return to their respective palaces and wait for news. The queen then ordered everyone to return to their respective places.
The queen herself was also preparing to return to Yonghe Palace.
Before she left, she looked back at Nan Yan and said, "Sister, you—"
Nan Yan said, "I will wait in this side hall first. If there is nothing else, I will go back to Yikun Palace."
Xu Miaoyin nodded and said, "I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. I'm afraid the emperor will listen to you now. If he's too sad, please try to persuade him."
"yes."
"By the way, about Feng Qianyan..."
Speaking of this, Xu Miaoyin herself was a little hesitant.
She knew that Nan Yan was very smart and might not be able to see that she was waiting for Xu Miaoyin to give birth to a prince so that she would have a place to stay in the future. As for Feng Qianyan, she had never been in her plans.
It's just a little embarrassing to talk about it now.
Nan Yan was quite calm and just smiled, saying, "Her crime has been exposed. As long as the Ministry of Justice issues a fair punishment, I will have nothing to say."
"It's natural."
"Also, that imperial physician—"
"He will certainly not let him off easily. I have already sent people to capture him."
As she spoke, Xu Miaoyin patted her hands: "You have suffered these days."
"No, I dare not complain."
Xu Miaoyin sighed softly, turned and left.
As soon as she left, Nan Yan stood on the steps. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw another figure walking towards her.
"My Lady."
Looking down, it was Prince of Wei, Zhu Chengxuan.
He looked at her with gratitude, but at this time, his face was still pale, probably because of the lingering fear.
Nan Yan walked down with a smile and patted his shoulder: "What's wrong, King Wei? Do you have something to say to me?"
“I, I…”
As they talked, they walked forward. When they reached the path, the King of Wei knelt down before Nan Yan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Nan Yan said this and hurriedly reached out to help him up.
Zhu Chengxuan's eyes turned red: "Thank you, Madam, for saving me."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You saved yourself."
The child is already grown up, so there is no need for him to explain things too clearly. Zhu Chengxuan certainly knows that Nan Yan was so attentive to the things in Yanchun Pavilion that she must have thought of a way to escape long ago. If he had been more selfish and framed her in order to escape the crime at that time, the situation would probably not be like this now.
Come to think of it, it really is - saving yourself.
Zhu Chengxuan said, "I can see that Father seems to have the same idea."
“…”
"He won't let the queen suffer any injustice."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's expression froze slightly. She just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
At this time, Xinping came over again.
Seeing her, Nan Yan felt a little emotional, especially since a little princess had just died there. These two children made her feel the uncertainty of life and death in the palace. It was already a good thing to be able to survive.
She said to Zhu Chengxuan, "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go back and rest."
"yes."
"Take my sister back and leave her to the nannies. Don't play too late."
"I know."
Zhu Chengxuan thought for a moment and then asked, "My Lady, are you going to stay here?"
Nan Yan looked back at Yanchun Pavilion and nodded. A hint of joy flashed in Zhu Chengxuan's eyes, as if he felt that the relationship between her and the emperor had eased. He left happily with a calm heart.
After watching her leave, Nan Yan turned her head away. Eunuch Yu came forward and asked her to go to the side hall to rest.
Nan Yan looked up and saw that the lights in the side hall had been turned on.
He nodded and walked away.
As he walked, he couldn't help but sigh, and said with a sigh: "These children look lively and energetic. Now it seems that the life of each of them is like a miracle in this place."
“…”
"What crime has this child committed? He will be born into a heavenly family."
“…”
Hearing her sigh, Ran Xiaoyu whispered, "My Lady, are you also sad for the child?"
"Aren't you sad?"
"This..." Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before she said softly, "Although this servant hates Feng Qianyan, she is a little life after all, and in my heart..."
Nan Yan chuckled softly. Although there was bitterness in her smile, there was also a hint of relief.
"Mother?"
"Don't worry, do you think I would be unhappy if you were sad about that child?"
“…”
"I'm not unhappy. In fact, I'm sad too."
“…”
"No matter who the mother is, it's still a small life. Putting aside the scorn of others, what distinguishes us from animals is our compassion. Even if hatred and resentment are entangled, the ability to still feel sadness for a small life like this is compassion."
Having said that, she glanced at Ran Xiaoyu.
I smiled in my heart and thought: Although you talk like a bully on weekdays, you are still very gentle at heart.
"Um?"
“Only those with such a heart can be considered human beings.”
“…”
Having said that, she sighed and looked at the closed door of Yanchun Pavilion.
Even they felt heartbroken. I wonder how heartbroken Zhu Feng must be at this moment?
She sighed and slowly walked into the side hall.
The place was already tidied up, with a heater burning, the bedding on the bed ready, and even the cushions on the chairs had just been replaced, brand new and soft. Nan Yan sat down and sighed slightly.
But his brows were still tightly furrowed.
Ran Xiaoyu poured her a cup of tea and said in confusion, "Your Majesty, since you—" She wanted to say that she didn't intend to reconcile with the emperor, but it was difficult to say it out loud, so she just ignored it and continued, "Why are you waiting here again?"
“…”
Nan Yan fell silent.
His eyes gradually became sharper.
Ran Xiaoyu also felt something and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan said: "Just now, did you see it?"
