Chapter 1464 She's Dead
But today, the atmosphere is a little different.
As Nan Yan approached, she saw several maids guarding the place standing at the door with terrified expressions on their faces. Nan Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness."
When those people saw her, they immediately knelt down.
Nan Yan asked, "What happened?"
One of the maids pointed to the room with the open door with a trembling hand and whispered softly: "She, she——"
“……!”
Nan Yan frowned and immediately rushed forward in two steps.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw a figure hanging from the beam, swaying in front of me.
"ah--!"
Nan Yan screamed in fright and subconsciously took two steps back. One foot stepped on the stairs and she almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu rushed up from behind and stretched out her hand to protect her.
"My queen, be careful!"
"Feng Shu, Feng Shu——"
Nan Yan's face suddenly turned pale and she stared inside with wide eyes.
Ran Xiaoyu also raised her head and saw Feng Shu had actually hanged herself in the room. A rope made of rags crossed the beam, ending her life.
Nan Yan's hands and feet went weak, and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu kept supporting her and turned back to the people around her and said, "Hurry up and put her down!"
"Yes, yes."
Those people went in immediately and used a stool to untie Feng Shu.
Her body was already stiff.
Nan Yan walked in trembling. Looking at her pale face with a hint of bluish-gray, her eyes were wide open, as if she was still looking unwillingly at everything she missed in the world. But now, no matter what appeared in front of her, she didn't know.
Nan Yan said hoarsely, "How could this happen?"
Ran Xiaoyu immediately turned around and said to the guards, "What's going on? Tell me!"
Several old maids knelt before them, and one of the leaders tremblingly said, "To answer the Imperial Concubine, we servants come here every morning to bring her breakfast and check if she's making any trouble. But as soon as we opened the door, this happened."
Nan Yan asked, "Did anyone come here last night?"
"this--"
Several people looked at each other.
Nan Yan understood immediately.
It snowed so heavily last night, so they naturally wouldn't come here in the snow to take care of Feng Shu. They naturally stayed in their warm rooms.
And Feng Shu...
She ended her life on such a quiet and cold night.
After a while, the people who came to collect the bodies arrived.
Zhu Feng is here too.
Originally, the death of a criminal woman in the cold palace was a trivial matter for him that he did not need to know. However, because the imperial concubine was also present, others told Eunuch Yu about it. As soon as Eunuch Yu said it, Zhu Feng immediately dropped his government affairs.
Seeing Nan Yan's stiff and cold appearance in the snow, he walked over.
"What's wrong?"
Nan Yan hurriedly turned around to look at him, her eyes still a little dull: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng turned his head and took a look.
Someone had already come to examine the body. After confirming the identity, they wrapped the body in a worn mattress and hurriedly carried it away.
There was no trace of death left in this place, only messy footsteps on the snow.
And the desolation of the land.
The wind blew, carrying snow foam onto their faces, bringing tiny itchy pains. After a while, they became somewhat numb. Zhu Feng reached out and took Nan Yan's hand, saying, "It's cold here. Let's go back first."
"……yes."
Nan Yan was a little stiff and was pulled out by him.
When she reached the main road outside, Nan Yan subconsciously looked back again, but not at Feng Shu's house, but at the room where Qin Ruolan lived not far behind.
The door was ajar, and there seemed to be a figure moving inside.
However, Zhu Feng took her out of the cold palace without even turning his head.
Zhu Feng held her hand all the time. After leaving the cold palace, he did not return to Yikun Palace, but went to his bedroom.
The underground heating inside was very warm. Nan Yan had just been in the snow and ice, and it seemed as if all the blood in her body was frozen. As soon as she walked in, she suddenly felt like she had returned from hell to the human world.
She shuddered.
Zhu Feng pushed her to sit on the couch, and Xiao Shunzi, who was quick on his feet, immediately brought over some hot tea.
Nan Yan didn't even raise her hand, just sat there in a daze.
A pair of eyes were a little straight.
Xiao Shunzi stood nearby, watching her like this, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty just went to that filthy place. Could she have run into any guests?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan immediately raised her head and said with a wry smile, "What nonsense."
Xiao Shunzi immediately lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Okay, go out and don't come in to disturb me."
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi put the tea aside and left obediently.
Zhu Feng then reached out and cupped her frozen cheek, saying, "Are you scared, or—"
Nan Yan shook her head. As for the dead, she had been to the battlefield with Zhu Feng and had seen all kinds of deaths. It was just a hanging, which was nothing to her.
But she had just seen Feng Shu yesterday, and she had the answers she wanted. Today, Feng Shu hanged herself.
Just one night.
Did she hang herself, or—
Nan Yan was a little afraid to think further.
Feeling her trembling, Zhu Feng held her face again and whispered, "Hmm?"
Nan Yan then raised her head and looked at him, trying hard to hide the doubts and contradictions in her eyes, and said softly: "Not really, it's just that I saw her yesterday, and she died today. I have some, some-"
Although Nan Yan would not feel sad for Feng Shu, she was indeed a little sad besides being shocked and confused.
Maybe it's——
The rabbit dies and the fox mourns?
Or, as a human being, when you see a living life disappear, you will always feel a little compassion.
Nan Yan couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a moment, she just felt a thousand thoughts in her mind, and Zhu Feng didn't seem to take this seriously at all. To him, what was in front of him was important. As for other people, what did they have to do with them?
So he said, "Well, she's dead, so don't think about it anymore."
“…”
"I just have something to tell you."
Nan Yan raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want to tell me?"
Zhu Feng said, "Xinping's birthday is coming soon. The uterus has been feeling dead lately—"
Having said that, he glanced at Nan Yan.
More importantly, she and the relationship between them have always been lifeless.
"I plan to hold a banquet to liven her up."
When Nan Yan heard this, she hurriedly said, "That won't do."
Zhu Feng frowned: "Why?"
"How old is she? Why are you holding a banquet to celebrate her birthday at such a young age? Isn't the emperor afraid of hurting her?"
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy: "My daughter is naturally blessed, why did she die?"
“…”
"Isn't she a princess of the Great Yan Dynasty? Shouldn't she be pampered?"
Nan Yan had another headache.
If there is any conflict between the two of them, it is probably about their daughter.
