Chapter 313: There is one thing I want to ask the Emperor
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yan's sobbing finally subsided.
The cold and trembling body slowly regained some temperature and calmed down in Zhu Feng's solid and warm embrace.
Zhu Feng's clothes on his chest were completely soaked.
Women, it turns out, are really made of water.
He didn't know why, but in the past he hated women crying the most. Even hearing a single cry would make him feel annoyed. But Nan Yan sobbed softly in his arms for so long, and he only felt sad.
I hope she won't cry like this anymore.
He lowered his head, brushed away the messy hair on Nan Yan's forehead, looked at her red and swollen eyes, and said softly, "Don't cry."
“…”
"You should take good care of your injuries these few days."
“…”
"Whatever happens, wait until you're better."
After saying that, he sat up, covered her with the quilt again, and turned to leave.
But just as he turned around, Nan Yan's weak and somewhat hoarse voice came from the bed again: "Your Majesty... This servant has something to ask Your Majesty."
“……!”
His heart sank.
Just now, I hoped that she could take the medicine well and get better. I said all the soft words I wanted to say, but after saying them, it is impossible to say that I don't regret it.
People with his personality don't like to be exploited for having any weaknesses.
But he still turned around and saw Nan Yan struggling to stand up. She looked so frail that it seemed as if the thin blanket or even a tight-fitting dress would crush her.
Zhu Feng's throat choked slightly, and then he said, "What do you want?"
Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, please release those palace maids from the prison."
“…”
Zhu Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Immediately, his heart started beating again.
When he heard that she asked him for something, he had almost concluded that Nan Yan would leave him because of this incident, but he didn't expect that she would speak up to plead for those palace maids.
But he still couldn't help frowning.
"Why?"
Nan Yan said softly, "Perhaps one of them is guilty, but there are thousands of palace maids, and they are all innocent."
“…”
"The Emperor killed all these people for a guilty person..."
“…”
"They are not the only ones who are heartbroken."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please revoke this order."
“…”
When she said these words, Zhu Feng kept frowning and looking down at her.
Without saying a word.
Meeting his deep, dark eyes, she felt somewhat uneasy.
Although he had just been rescued from prison and understood Zhu Feng's feelings, it was still difficult for an ordinary person to imagine making such a request to an emperor.
Maybe the next moment, he will get furious.
She is still afraid of death, pain, and many other things.
However, after a long silence, Zhu Feng suddenly bent down and looked at her straight in the eyes. His deep gaze seemed to see through her frail body at once.
Nan Yan subconsciously turned her head away, trying to avoid his gaze, but he reached out and pinched her pointed chin.
Can't move.
She looked at him with a slight shrinking feeling, but saw a little emotion gradually welling up in his dark and deep eyes, which was an endless joy.
"You are still thinking about me, right?"
