Chapter 1971: Too sensitive because of pregnancy?
She said softly, "So, this is also the reason why the emperor tried to win over Xue Yun."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while.
Then he said, "What else?"
“…”
Nan Yan stared at him quietly for a long moment, then said softly, "If that's the case, then I understand. But there's one thing."
Zhu Feng asked, "What?"
"Her true identity."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Nan Yan looked at him and said seriously, "Your Majesty, she is a woman."
Zhu Feng said: "Of course I know."
"Although she has her own reasons for disguising herself as a man, following the emperor back to the capital and then entering the palace, the situation is completely different from that in this remote Bailong City and Shazhouwei."
“…”
"Do you want her identity—"
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned again. He couldn't help but think of the night when the Lianxin Club was on fire. After he confessed his identity, Xue Yun looked at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and only said half of the words to her.
In fact, he felt it vaguely at that time.
Xue Yun wanted to confess her identity to herself.
But, it didn't work out.
Firstly, Ye Zheng suddenly rushed in and interrupted her; secondly, he had no intention of listening to her confession.
She is better off as a man than as a woman.
So he said, "No need."
“…!?”
Nan Yan looked at him in astonishment, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Your Majesty, this matter will be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor after we return to the capital."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "I don't mind."
“…”
"Let her do it."
“…”
"If she were a man, disguised as a woman and entered the palace, I would naturally explain it to everyone. But since she is a woman, I don't think she would cause any serious trouble."
“…”
"As a noble concubine, you should just remind her if you have any questions."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him for a while.
Although this matter is indeed not a big deal, whether to talk about it or not, no matter what Zhu Feng decides, it makes sense. However, his attitude is a bit strange.
Nan Yan couldn't tell what was strange, but she always felt an inexplicable stirring in her heart.
Could it be that the pregnancy made me too sensitive?
She thought for a while, then looked at Zhu Feng and said with a smile: "Since the emperor plans this way, well, I will take care of you if there is anything. But——"
"how?"
"The Emperor has found something for me to do again."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "I just want you to say a few words about her, not to associate with her all the time. After all, she is a man. If you associate with her too much, people will gossip about her."
"yes……"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't that handkerchief almost bring disaster to me back then?"
When talking about this, Zhu Feng's face turned red.
I couldn't help but glare at her.
Nan Yan herself also laughed.
With this smile, the atmosphere at the dinner table, which was originally a little subtle or even slightly dull, suddenly became much better, and the two of them started chatting and laughing again.
After all, Zhu Feng had gone through a lot during the two days of separation, and Nan Yan had always been thinking about him.
When they were almost done with the meal, the kitchen brought some sweet soup. While the two of them drank it, Nan Yan asked him in detail about his meeting with the Parthian envoy and the burning of the Lianxin Guildhall.
She was more concerned about the latter.
After all, it's too dangerous.
Although Zhu Feng was of noble status and would never encounter such danger under normal circumstances, this time, he did not expect that those people would set a fire while they were meeting with the special envoy.
Nan Yan said, "The Emperor said that the fire broke out in the guild hall while you were talking?"
Zhu Feng said "hmm".
Nan Yan asked, "Then, how did the emperor encounter the assassin?"
“…”
Zhu Feng's breathing paused slightly.
Then he said, "I was a guard at the time. If something happened, I would naturally go out and investigate."
"After you went out, you encountered the assassin?"
"Um."
He thought about it and decided not to mention the part about meeting Xue Yun.
Nan Yan was silent for a while before she said softly, "Your Majesty, please do not take risks lightly from now on."
“…”
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened this time."
“…”
"If something unexpected happens to the Emperor, I'm afraid that my concubine and the child will be—"
When she said this, Zhu Feng immediately said in a deep voice: "What nonsense!"
“…”
"I promise you, but no matter what, you and the child must be well!"
Nan Yan looked at him and nodded gently: "Yeah."
Zhu Feng reached out and took her hand, squeezing it gently.
It was already late when he came back. After dinner, the two chatted for a while, and it was already completely dark outside.
Zhu Feng said to Nan Yan, "You should go back and rest early."
Nan Yan looked at him: "What about the emperor?"
"There are still some memorials piled up over the past two days that I haven't approved yet. I need to go take a look."
"Your Majesty has been tired all day and is still injured. Why don't you take a good rest?"
"I'm fine."
"emperor……"
"Okay, I understand," Zhu Feng said, "Wait a moment, I'll rest early."
Nan Yan also knew that he was always very diligent in handling government affairs and would not listen to anyone, so she could only persuade him a few more times and then left with Tongyun and Nianqiu.
As soon as she walked out of the room, the smile on Nan Yan's face immediately turned gloomy.
She looked back at Zhu Feng in the room, said nothing, and walked towards her house.
When I returned to the room, I saw that Ran Xiaoyu had changed her clothes and washed herself.
Tidying up the incense burner in the room.
Seeing her coming back, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My Lady."
"Xiaoyu."
Nan Yan walked over and asked, "You've worked hard these past two days."
Ran Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Your Majesty is still telling this to me..."
Nan Yan took her hand and walked to the couch and sat down. Ran Xiaoyu naturally didn't dare to do anything, so she just stood beside her. Nan Yan asked, "I just heard from the emperor that they were assassinated this time by the remnants of the Hot Moon Bay bandits. Those people also planned to burn down the Lotus Heart Club, right?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "When I went there, I did see traces of fire."
“…”
"But your majesty can rest assured, nothing serious has happened."
“…”
"The Emperor seems to have suffered some minor injuries, but—Xue Yun took care of them."
Nan Yan blinked and looked up at her: "You mean, Xue Yun?"
"Yes, I saw her the night I arrived at the Lotus Heart Hall. She said that the Emperor and the others were injured and asked her to treat them."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her and said softly, "My lady, there is one more thing I am not sure whether I should tell you or not."
Nan Yan glanced at her and asked, "How did you learn this trick?"
Ran Xiaoyu also smiled.
But immediately, she said seriously: "That night, I saw the emperor go to her room and came out very late."
