Chapter 1138 Because of your concern, it turned into harming her
In the center is the magnolia, with a solitary lamp shining.
The flickering lights made the eyes of both people dim, as if their current state of mind was...
Zhu Feng sat in the chair, looking at Qin Ruolan in front of him.
She is indeed a beauty.
Even though there is only a solitary lamp in front of her and the light is dim, it still cannot conceal her natural beauty. Just standing there casually, she is like a moving pear blossom on the river bank, fascinating.
However, the whistling wind outside seemed to blow the chill into his heart.
He spoke, his voice also carrying a bit of coldness: "Tell me, you have something to say to me."
"yes."
Qin Ruolan took a deep breath and looked up at him.
After saying that, the Queen had someone put him under house arrest. It was obvious that things had come to this point. Instead of letting others talk nonsense to Zhu Feng, it would be better to tell him myself.
Zhu Feng asked, "Chengxuan, is this really your and—He Zhen's son?"
Qin Ruolan raised her beautiful eyes, tears glistening in her eyes: "Didn't the Emperor ask the Queen?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Since you told me this, then you'd better explain this matter clearly."
Although Qin Ruolan had tears in her eyes, a happy smile appeared on her face.
She took a step forward and whispered, "Does the Emperor still remember?"
“…”
"Even if the emperor doesn't remember anything, he is still willing to believe me, isn't he?"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, like pear blossoms in the rain, and she choked with sobs, "The Emperor used to trust me just like today. No matter what others said, no matter what happened, I was the only one by His Majesty's side."
Zhu Feng frowned.
The feeling she described, as if standing on a deserted island with no one to rely on, suddenly resurrected from the depths of his heart and enveloped him in an instant.
His hands suddenly gripped the armrests of the chair, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
"I--"
He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.
But subconsciously, I thought of Nan Yan.
The depressed mood that suppressed his heartbeat and breathing all night last night disappeared without a trace the moment he saw her in the early morning.
She is like light in the darkness.
At this time, although he was facing Qin Ruolan and asking about what happened between them, he was always thinking about Nan Yan in his heart.
It seems that only by thinking of her can I bear this suffocating feeling of oppression.
Qin Ruolan had already walked over, knelt down in front of him, and said with a sob: "Your Majesty is the only one with me, but I——"
Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
The past between them was a pain that she would never be able to overcome in her life.
And now, telling him about it again was like tearing open the scabbed wound with my own hands and placing the bloody wound in front of him.
Zhu Feng, I don’t know what will happen.
And she was already heartbroken.
"concubine--"
Just when she mustered up the courage to continue speaking, suddenly, a voice came from outside.
"emperor."
This voice made Zhu Feng tremble suddenly, as if he was suddenly awakened from a dream. He immediately opened his eyes wide and asked, "What's the matter?"
The door opened and a guard walked in from outside.
He walked to Zhu Feng's side and whispered something in his ear. Zhu Feng's brows immediately knitted into a knot: "What?"
"The Emperor asked me to keep an eye on him, so I kept watching him. Just now, he himself..."
The following words became increasingly low-pitched.
Zhu Feng's expression also became a little gloomier.
Qin Ruolan was watching from the side, still a little at a loss. When the guard finished speaking, Zhu Feng's hands tightened, almost twisting the armrest of the chair apart.
He stood up and walked out quickly.
The attendant naturally followed him out immediately and did not dare to stay.
"Emperor——"
Qin Ruolan was stunned for a moment. Before she knew what had happened, Zhu Feng suddenly left without saying a word. She hurriedly chased after him.
But when she walked to the door, she saw Zhu Feng hurriedly leaving and heading towards Furongju.
“…”
Suddenly, her heart sank into an icy cave.
Sinanyan...
You again?
Why, always you?

"How do you know the queen lives here?"
“…”
Li Bushang was stunned by her question, and Ran Xiaoyu continued, "You just returned to Hecheng not long ago, and you haven't come here to see the queen in the past two days. How do you know she lives here?"
“…”
"Besides, you came here alone tonight without anyone to lead the way."
“…”
"How did you know she was here?"
After saying this, Ran Xiaoyu closed her mouth and looked at him quietly, as if waiting for an answer.
All around, the night grew darker and the wind grew stronger.
But Li Bushang didn't say anything. He just frowned slightly and looked into Ran Xiaoyu's calm eyes. After a long while, he said, "Why do you ask this, Sister Xiaoyu?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "I am the one who serves the Empress, so naturally I have to care about her affairs."
Li Bushang said: "This is very good."
"Then you can tell me now?"
“…”
Li Bushang was silent for a while before he said, "It's nothing. If you care about someone, you'll naturally know about her. If I want to know, I'll find out naturally."
“…”
His answer was obviously perfunctory.
However, Ran Xiaoyu did not continue to ask, but just looked at him. Although she had a baby face and pretty looks, she always had an icy look in her. When she stared at someone like this, it was as if she wanted to see through them.
Li Bushang did not avoid her gaze.
They stared at each other in silence for a long time before Ran Xiaoyu said, "I know you care about the Empress, but as a noble concubine, she can't bear too much care from others, especially someone like you."
“…”
"You just said you wanted to save her, that's good."
“…”
"But don't let your concern end up hurting her."
“……!”
Li Bushang frowned slightly.
Ran Xiaoyu had already turned around and walked back to Furongju. When she closed the door, she heard Nan Yan ask, "Is he gone?"
"They're gone, don't worry, ma'am."
…
Li Bushang stood outside. Although the wind quickly blew through his not-so-thick clothes and the cold penetrated his muscles and bones, he seemed not to feel it at all.
The slender figure reflected in the window was enough to give him warmth at a glance.
It was as if, when he was in the most pain and destitute, the gentleness of her smile was like the warm sunshine of spring, and it was still engraved in his heart until now.
Any bitter cold is not worth mentioning.
But--
"Can't I care about you?"
He muttered to himself, and his wolf eyes became even colder. He said solemnly in his heart: No one can stop me. I have survived until today just to have enough ability to get close to you and protect you. No one can stop me!
He turned around slowly.
When he turned around, he saw a tall figure standing behind him, with a pair of deep eyes looking at him coldly.
