Chapter 55 A Night of Passion
The day passed peacefully. At night, when Zhu Feng was getting ready to go to bed, Ye Zheng came to arrange everything.
He saw that it was Nan Yan's friend, asked a question or two, and when he learned that Nan Yan was sick, he frowned.
But soon, he said to Xia Yunting: "When you are on night duty, unless His Highness calls you, try not to disturb His Highness."
Xia Yunting quickly responded, "Yes."
After arranging everything, Ye Zheng prepared to leave, but he was still a little worried. He looked back and saw that Zhu Feng was already lying on the bed, and Xia Yunting was sitting in the corner he designated. He thought there should be nothing wrong, so he closed the door and left.
Soon, the Wuying Hall fell into silence.
Xia Yunting had been out for a day, but she was not sleepy at all. She just stared at the person on the bed with her eyes wide open. Even from such a distance, she could still see the handsome face behind the curtain, with a high nose bridge and thin lips. He had a cold face, but he was so attractive, as if everyone in the world should be looking at him.
Before, she asked Si Nanyan what King Yan looked like. Why didn’t she tell herself that he was such a handsome man?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help herself, so she stood up and walked over carefully.
Just as she walked to the bedside, she saw Zhu Feng suddenly frowning with an uncomfortable expression, as if he was resisting something.
He whispered, "No, don't—"
Xia Yunting was startled and whispered, "Your Highness?"
At this time, Zhu Feng could not hear anything. He fell into the nightmare that had been haunting him since he was a child. The sky was filled with yellow sand, as if to bury him completely. His chest became heavier and heavier, and he even found it difficult to breathe.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. His throat seemed to be strangled, and he struggled to let out another low cry: "No!"
He vaguely felt that he was in a nightmare and wanted to wake up, wanted the wind from that night to blow into his dream. But at this moment, he heard a charming cry like a clear song in his ears -
"Your Highness!"
Is it Si Nanyan?
He thought of that woman, and the breeze-like feeling he had when she stayed by his side, as if seeking salvation. He gritted his teeth and finally used up his last bit of strength to open his eyes. Blurred, he saw a slender figure swaying in front of him.
He reached out and grabbed her, yanking her onto the bed.
…
Although she didn't have to go to Wuying Palace to keep watch that night, Nan Yan still couldn't sleep.
Yun Ting had been gone for the entire day and had not returned by evening. Apparently, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan had asked her to stay by his side overnight.
Nan Yan felt a little uneasy when she thought about what she had experienced.
This is the first time Yun Ting is serving someone, and it is the violent Prince Yan. She wonders how he will treat her. Will one mistake lead to a catastrophe?
The injuries she had suffered from the fight with Du Siyao and the others were only superficial. After a day's rest, they were almost healed, except for a little pain in her chest. She got out of bed, covering her chest, walked to the door and looked outside, eagerly waiting for Yun Ting to come back.
It’s almost 9:00 a.m., why hasn’t Yunting come back yet?
Nothing will happen to her, right?
Just as she was becoming more and more anxious, she suddenly saw Eunuch Yu walk in with a few young eunuchs, and walked straight into her room.
Nan Yan looked at them in surprise: "Eunuch Yu...what can I do for you?"
