Chapter 1114: It’s broad daylight and the door is not even closed!
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked in front of Zhu Feng and knelt down in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan knelt before him, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice, "I acted on my own without consulting the Emperor. I deserve death."
"oh?"
Although she said this, there was no anger on Zhu Feng's face, not even anxiety.
He just said calmly: "What did you advocate?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and said, "I have agreed on a time limit with the people in the city. By that time, if the rebels have not withdrawn, the soldiers guarding the city will open the city gates and let them out."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned forward: "When did you agree to meet with them?"
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at him.
The two people's eyes met, and there seemed to be a spark.
"At sunset."
"At sunset?"
Hearing these four words, Zhu Feng's tone became a little subtle. He looked at Nan Yan for a long time, then slowly stood up and walked towards her.
Nan Yan buried her head even lower.
She saw the pair of bright yellow boots walk straight in front of her and then stop. The person in front of her bent down, and his clothes rustled.
A hand reached out, grasped her chin, and lifted her face.
Nan Yan was also forced to look up and met his gaze.
There was a flicker in those sharp eyes, a light that was hard to tell whether it was joy or anger. Although it was deep and distant, it seemed as if something was about to burst out.
"You are so brave." Zhu Feng said, "Were you always so bold before?"
"Well--"
"How dare you act on your own initiative and agree with the people on the time to open the city? Aren't you afraid that I will severely punish you?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment before she said softly, "I, have confidence in myself."
“…”
This seemed to mean that she was confident that his love for her would make her reluctant to punish him severely.
Zhu Feng frowned.
As an emperor, he doesn't like people who are "arrogant because of their favor", but knowing that she has such awareness, he seems to think that it is not a bad thing.
Of course, the expression on his face was still very serious.
Zhu Feng coughed again and said, "Then, aren't you worried that acting on your own will lead to the fall of Hecheng?"
Nan Yan looked up at him.
"I have confidence in the emperor."
"Ahem."
Zhu Feng couldn't help but cough twice again, and subconsciously covered his mouth with his fist, but he couldn't cover the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.
Nan Yan looked at him and said seriously, "Your Majesty will definitely defeat the rebels and protect everything in the city, including me and our daughter. Right?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "Are you so confident in me?"
Nan Yan also looked at him and said word by word: "I have never doubted the emperor."
“…”
The two looked at each other again, and there was something warm and fluffy blending in their eyes.
Zhu Feng reached out, grabbed her arm, and helped her up.
"emperor……"
Nan Yan was about to say something, but she felt the hand that was supporting her put her arm around her and hold her in his arms, pressing her back.
As her cheek rested against his chest, Zhu Feng's low but reassuring voice came from above her head.
"Of course I will protect you."
“…”
"I will definitely protect you!"
Hearing these words that sounded like a vow, a happy smile appeared on Nan Yan's face. She also stretched out her hands and wrapped them around Zhu Feng's slender waist.
Zhu Feng's murmurs came into my ears.
"I finally understand..."
"What?"
Looking down, he saw Nan Yan raising her head from his arms, looking at him with eyes wide open in some confusion. Zhu Feng was silent for a moment but didn't say anything. He just held the back of her head and buried her face in his arms.
I finally understood why, when I had forgotten all the past and my mind was in chaos, I insisted on going to the cold palace to find the figure that made me feel at ease - even though I found the wrong person.
I finally understand why people around me always praise her more than compliments when they mention her.
I finally understood why so many unfavorable accusations were directed at her, but inexplicably I was still willing to believe her and even get close to her.
She was like a part of my body.
Probably, it was a bone lost in the chest.
Only when she comes back can my heartbeat calm down and my breathing become smooth.
These are things that no one else can give you.
Only her, only her...
Thinking of this, the smile on his lips deepened, and his arms around her tightened a little.
But at this moment, someone hurriedly ran in from outside. Hearing the footsteps, Nan Yan subconsciously wanted to break free from Zhu Feng's arms, but in the end it was too late, and Ye Zheng had already rushed to the door: "Your Majesty——"
Before he could finish his words, he turned around and covered his eyes.
"ah!"
Nan Yan's face flushed red, and she broke free from Zhu Feng's arms, taking several steps back. She looked so embarrassed that she felt worse than death.
Zhu Feng looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The next moment, he glared at the person at the door.
Walk over and get kicked again.
“Ouch!”
Ye Zheng was nearly kicked off the stairs by him. He stumbled a step before he could steady himself. Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "What are you yelling about? Did you see a ghost?!"
"No, no, hehe."
Ye Zheng covered his butt and limped in. Seeing Zhu Feng's unhappy look and Nan Yan standing beside him, his face and ears turned red. He complained in his heart, why did he always bump into them?
It's their fault too. They didn't even close the door in broad daylight!
Of course, this is just a complaint in my heart.
Zhu Feng angrily waved his sleeves, sat back behind the desk, and said, "What are you doing here again?"
Ye Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I just passed by Yishou Hall. Everyone is gathered there. The Empress and—Madam Qin," he said, glancing at Nan Yan and then continued, "Let me come over and ask the Emperor what to do next."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Nan Yan's heart was also moved.
The Queen Mother would naturally ask Ye Zheng to come over and ask what to do next. After all, she was the Queen and was also responsible for mediating and dispatching the people here. But Qin Ruolan also intervened?
I'm afraid they want Ye Zheng to come and see what they are doing.
Nan Yan laughed helplessly.
Zhu Feng was too lazy to say anything else. He just glanced at the map on the table and said, "Just tell them to wait."
"Wait? Wait—what?"
"Wait for sunset."
“…”
Ye Zheng took a deep breath.
He followed Nan Yan to the city gate and knew what she had agreed with the common people. Even the emperor said so now, which meant that he also acquiesced to the sunset.
What big thing will happen?
