Chapter 2708 Time alone together
Zhu Feng took one look and didn't bother to tease her anymore. He immediately stretched out his hand to Nan Yan and said, "Come up here!"
"oh."
Nan Yan also hurriedly grabbed his hand and was pulled onto the horse.
Soon, snow was falling all around. Although the snowflakes were not big, the north wind blew and blew the broken snow around. Immediately, she felt a chill coming, and Nan Yan shivered again because of the cold.
At this time, Zhu Feng loosened his arms around her.
"well?"
Nan Yan was stunned and turned around subconsciously, and saw Zhu Feng took out a cloak from behind the horse, shook it open and put it on, then pulled her into his clothes.
Immediately, a familiar scent and warmth lingered over me.
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked down at her, his nose already red, and shook his head, "You always cause trouble for me."
Nan Yan asked, "What should we do now?"
"What else can I do?"
Zhu Feng said: "Go back early."
“…”
"Look at the snow, I'm afraid it will continue to snow. If we go any later, it will be difficult to find the way."
Nan Yan said, "Aren't you going to look for my horse? Are you just going to ride this one?"
"Your horse ran away, so forget it."
Zhu Feng said this, looked at the horse under him, and said, "I'll have to trouble it."
Hearing this, Nan Yan reached out a hand from her cloak, touched the horse's neck lovingly, and said, "You'll have to work hard. When we return to the Duwei Mansion, I'll have them bring good grain to feed you."
Zhu Feng laughed twice, then said, "Hold on tight."
Nan Yan immediately leaned into his arms, holding the saddle with both hands.
Zhu Feng kicked the horse's belly, and the horse under him immediately turned its head and ran in the direction they came from.
It was already midnight when the two returned to Handongwei.
Because they were riding together, their pace was naturally slower than usual. In addition, the snow kept falling heavier, until it was so heavy that it almost blinded their eyes. There was also a layer of snow all around them. However, the two of them were sitting together, with a thick cloak wrapped around them, so they didn't feel cold at all.
Even, there is a little enjoyment.
After all, normally, whether in the capital or in Handongwei, it would be impossible for the two of them to be alone together for such a long time and spend time quietly like they do now.
Looking up at the falling snowflakes, Nan Yan even began to hum a song.
Hearing her singing, Zhu Feng slowed down his horse and said, "You can sing? How come I didn't know?"
Nan Yan said: "I am a noble concubine, how can I sing casually?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You sing quite well."
"Your Majesty likes it?"
"Um."
Nan Yan turned around and looked at him, her eyes sparkling in the night, and said, "If Your Majesty likes it, I will sing it for you when we are alone in the future."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Okay."
He added, "You can continue singing now."
Nan Yan said, "I won't sing anymore."
"Why?"
Nan Yan stretched out a hand from her cloak and pointed forward: "We're almost there."
Zhu Feng looked up and saw snow falling in the dark night sky. A little fire appeared not far ahead. It was the defenders of Handongwei who lit torches at night.
Nan Yan sighed softly: "We're almost there."
Zhu Feng smiled and lowered his head and said, "Why, from the sound of your voice, it seems like you don't want to go back?"
“Not really.”
"What is that?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked back at him without saying anything, just kept her head down. Zhu Feng looked at her without saying much. The horse under him was originally trotting, but at this time he simply pulled the reins and let the horse walk slowly.
Nan Yan turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you cold?"
"Are you cold?"
"Of course I'm not cold."
"Then let's walk back slowly."
When Nan Yan heard this, she laughed again.
After she thought about it, she couldn't help laughing again and said, "It's Master Chen who's suffering because of us. I bet he must be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot."
Zhu Feng also laughed after hearing this.
He said, "You can go back if you want. If I go back, I don't know how long I will have to listen to their complaints."
Nan Yan immediately said, "It was the Emperor who took me out for a stroll, getting rid of those people."
As the two men were arguing, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from several directions around them, as if they were gathering towards them from afar. The two men turned around and saw that there were several groups of people galloping towards them. The sound of horse hooves raised a cloud of snow dust.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"
When they were still some distance away, these people saw them clearly, stopped immediately, dismounted, rushed forward, and knelt on the ground.
"Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Imperial Concubine!"
Zhu Feng took a look and saw that there were several groups of soldiers from the imperial camp and people from the Duwei Mansion.
He grabbed the reins, held Nan Yan in one hand, and said, "What are you doing here?"
The faces of this group of people turned pale. When they saw them, they were extremely excited and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this humble servant is waiting for the death penalty, the death penalty!"
"We failed to protect the Emperor and the Empress, and we must be put to death!"
Seeing them like this, Nan Yan just stuck out her tongue and almost hid her face in her cloak.
Zhu Feng said lazily, "Alright, I haven't said anything yet, why are you already accusing me of a crime and punishing me?"
One of them stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor and the Empress have been traveling alone. Lord Chen and his men at the Commandant's Mansion have been frantic, sending out over a dozen troops to search for them. We have finally found them. As a precaution, please ask the Emperor and the Empress to return to the Commandant's Mansion first."
The two of them had originally planned to walk back slowly, but this time, it was no longer possible.
Zhu Feng could only sigh and said, "Alright, everyone get up."
After saying that, he asked someone to bring a horse to Nan Yan, and they all galloped towards Handongwei.
After a while, he returned to the Duwei Mansion.
The place was brightly lit, and the gate was already filled with people. From a distance, one could see Chen Zixiao and his men kneeling on the ground. When Zhu Feng stopped his horse, everyone kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are willing to die!"
Zhu Feng dismounted and said, "Well, I'm back safe and sound, right?"
Chen Zixiao continued to kowtow: "Your humble servant is guilty of death, your humble servant is guilty of death."
Seeing him like this, Zhu Feng had no choice but to go over and help him up, saying, "Okay, I didn't say anything."
Chen Zixiao lowered his head and said, "The emperor didn't say anything, but I, your humble servant, have something to say."
Seeing the heavy snow piling up on everyone's heads and shoulders, Zhu Feng could only sigh and say, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
After saying that, he winked at Nan Yan. At this time, Ruoshui and the others had naturally rushed over, surrounding the imperial concubine and escorting her back.
Zhu Feng, with a wry smile, was surrounded by Chen Zixiao and his companions and taken to the study.
