Chapter 3566: Fifteen Years...
Even though he wasn't fully awake yet, he could still hear the resentment etched in Nan Yan's words. Zhu Feng sighed softly inwardly, then looked up at her face, which was indeed filled with resentment.
Said: "Are you angry?"
Nan Yan snorted softly: "Is it important for me to be angry?"
“…”
"Your Majesty can do whatever he wants. When did you stop doing it just because I'm angry?"
“…”
These words are clearly the tone of a "resentful woman".
Zhu Feng gave a wry smile and wanted to reach out and hold her hand. Sometimes, no matter how many words you said, it seemed that a little physical contact could not make the other person understand each other's feelings better. However, as soon as he tried to raise his hand, he felt a sharp pain in the wound on his chest. The pain pierced his heart directly, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
Moreover, after this movement, he realized that he had no strength at all.
When I just woke up, I didn't feel anything, but after talking for a while, I felt weak all over and cold sweat broke out.
However, he couldn't say it out loud at this moment. After all, there was an angry imperial concubine waiting for him to appease her. If Nan Yan knew his current situation, today would probably end in a worse situation.
So, he took a few quick breaths to recover, then slowly said, "Alright, you're not done yet? How could I have known this would be the case? By the time I got back here, the injury was already—out of control."
When Nan Yan heard this, her face darkened.
Zhu Feng knew that these words had frightened her, and he quickly added, "But it's not a big deal. Since you're already here, you must have heard from the military doctor that this injury can be healed with proper care."
Nan Yan said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, do you think you can deceive yourself or me with this kind of words?"
“…”
"If this injury is really not a serious matter, then why would the emperor be in a coma for two days and two nights!?"
Zhu Feng was shocked: "Two days and two nights?"
He thought he had only slept for a while. After all, in the dim darkness, he had no concept of time. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Nan Yan, he was sure that she must have seen Zhu Chengjun, and that boy must have revealed his true identity in front of his mother, so Nan Yan rushed to the army to "settle accounts" with him.
But he never expected that he would be in a coma for two whole days.
Nan Yan's expression became even uglier. Especially at this moment, she could clearly see the sweat condensing on Zhu Feng's forehead. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped it off for him, saying, "What else?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, you think I've been guarding here for two days without sleep. What am I guarding?"
Zhu Feng himself was also shocked. He subconsciously reached out to touch his chest, but he still had no strength. Moreover, this movement caused another sharp pain in his heart. This time, he finally couldn't hold it back and let out a low groan.
"ah!"
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Someone come!"
The people outside had been waiting for a long time, and upon hearing the imperial concubine's call, they hurried in. They were the military doctors and the imperial physicians who had been transferred from the city after Nan Yan. They examined Zhu Feng again. The wound was not torn, but the involvement of an old injury should not be underestimated. After changing the dressing, they repeatedly urged the emperor to rest well.
Nan Yan then asked them to leave and asked the kitchen to bring a bowl of thin millet porridge. She blew away the hot steam while slowly sitting down on the bed. Zhu Feng leaned against the head of the bed. The busy schedule just now had exhausted all his strength, and at this moment he lay there limply like a hollowed-out sack.
Feeling his own weakness, Zhu Feng gave a wry smile and murmured, "It seems that what Li Wushang said is not wrong."
Nan Yan was blowing the bowl of wrinkles to cool it down. When she heard his words, she couldn't help but frown: "What did he say?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "Didn't they tell you?"
He thought that since he had been unconscious for two days and two nights, and Nan Yan had been guarding him here for two days and two nights, he must have called Lu Linchuan, Fang Buyuan and the others to ask them about the war in detail.
However, he didn't expect that Lu Linchuan and the others ignored what Li Wushang said.
In fact, who would dare to say these words in front of the imperial concubine?
Zhu Feng thought about it and figured it out. He said, "It's nothing."
Nan Yan said: "Nothing, then what did you say?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment before he smiled faintly and said calmly, "Li Wushang said that I am old."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's face suddenly darkened.
Zhu Feng didn't seem to notice her expression and continued, "Because I'm old, I need to quickly get Cheng Jun on his feet so he can shoulder some responsibilities. It's also because of this that he was certain I'd let Cheng Jun fight this clever battle this time—he had miscalculated on the war front after all."
“…”
"But what he said is not wrong."
“…”
Nan Yan felt like a leather bag, about to explode with anger, yet she had to hold back her anger, pretending to be indifferent while blowing on the steaming porridge in the spoon and saying coldly, "I don't care about what he did, but His Majesty cares about what he said?"
Zhu Feng said: "What I care about is not what he said, but this matter."
Nan Yan said: "That's not the case."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, and felt that if he continued to talk, he would probably die on the battlefield, but would probably die under the sharp claws of this noble concubine. So he smiled and said, "Okay, that's not the case."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but just took the spoon and chopped the porridge in the bowl as if to vent her anger, making a banging sound.
Zhu Feng looked at her carefully and his eyes turned red.
She had clearly looked like she was ready to eat someone from the moment he opened his eyes, but now she was acting like a bullied young wife. Zhu Feng couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Okay, I'm going along with what you say, why are you still not satisfied?"
“…”
"Do you want me to apologize to you?"
“…”
"You are too angry."
As he spoke, he sighed softly, leaned against the headboard, and whispered as if reminiscing, "I still remember what you looked like the last time you were here. You were much more obedient and well-behaved than you are now."
Nan Yan's hand movements suddenly stopped.
Last time...
This last time was not just a blink of an eye. It had been fifteen years since the two of them last came here.
Nan Yan was a little dazed for a moment.
Fifteen years...
Fifteen years ago, also here, in the same place, Zhu Feng was also injured, and at that time, I was——
Zhu Feng smiled and said softly, "At that time, you were always worried and cautious. You didn't dare to speak loudly when you were around me, as if you were afraid that I would eat you."
