Chapter 1687 Your Majesty, things are about to get out of hand!
"Can we keep this child?"
“…”
Originally, there was a stove burning in the room and it was very warm, but after saying this, it seemed as if a cold wind blew into the whole room.
Zhu Feng's originally passionate heart suddenly turned cold.
If it were normal times, if it were in the palace——
I'm afraid he has already been furious. Even if he is not angry, the other concubines in the palace will start shouting, saying that the imperial concubine is extremely rebellious and talking nonsense. How could he doubt that he could not save the child?
But Zhu Feng's heart, after growing cold, slowly sank again.
It's like sinking into an ice cave.
Because, he knew, it had happened more than once.
More than once, they lost the child they had been expecting.
So, even though she is pregnant again now, which is a huge and happy event worth celebrating in the eyes of everyone, Nan Yan does not feel too much joy. Instead, the feeling of worry and fear comes to her mind immediately.
She has been tortured by "loss" and is almost losing her confidence.
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath.
He held Nan Yan's cold little hand tightly, wanting to pass on his body temperature and strength to her.
He said, "Of course!"
“…”
"The past is the past. Now, I will definitely protect this child."
“…”
"I must make this child——!"
When he said this, his eyes flashed with brilliance, as if he wanted to illuminate the entire room at once and dispel the haze in Nan Yan's heart.
At this moment, Nan Yan was still a little dazed.
He didn't even realize that there was another meaning behind the unfinished sentence.
She just felt the burning heat on her palm, but she was reluctant to let go. She bit her lower lip and looked up at Zhu Feng, saying, "I believe in the emperor."
“…”
"I don't want to...I don't want to lose again..."
“…”
"I don't want to have that feeling anymore."
When she said this, her voice almost choked.
For Zhu Feng, the loss of her child was just a simple loss, but for her, she could clearly feel the existence and disappearance, as well as the emptiness after the disappearance, and the emptiness gnawing at her heart bit by bit until it was full of holes.
This child may be the salvation of everything.
Seeing her drooping eyelashes and tears almost bursting out, Zhu Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart. He stood up and hugged Nan Yan in his arms.
He felt this always stubborn little girl trembling slightly in his arms.
Tears cannot soak through heavy clothes.
But it has already flowed into his heart.
He said, "No, not anymore."
“…”
"I will definitely protect this child well."
“…”
"And you!"
Nan Yan leaned in his arms, sobbing softly, put her arms around his waist, and buried her wet cheeks deeper in his arms.
Absorbing the scent of him and the warmth of his chest.
At the same time, listening to his heartbeat.
At this moment, Nan Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Your Majesty."
"Um?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what you said to me when you rode over here earlier?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was originally completely immersed in the joy of her pregnancy and a little guilt for the past, but he didn't know why she suddenly brought up this matter.
Fortunately, he hasn't forgotten it so quickly.
"Of course I remember."
“…”
"I said, if you can keep up with me, I will promise you one thing."
"Does this still count?"
Zhu Feng chuckled lightly. Although the smile was filled with joy, it was also serious. He said, "Sir, don't joke."
As he spoke, his arms loosened a little.
He lowered his head to look at the tear-soaked little face in his arms: "What do you want?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide, probably because she had just cried, the corners of her eyes were red and her eyes were watery. When she opened her eyes wide and looked up, she looked like a coquettish kitten.
At this moment, Zhu Feng even had an illusion.
No matter what she said, I would not refuse.
He gave her whatever she wanted.
He couldn't help but ask again: "What do you want?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him silently, then suddenly smiled and buried her face in his arms again.

Since arriving in Shazhouwei, Duke Chengguo had caught a cold. In addition, the emperor only sent two young people from the Gu and Tong families to check on Reyuewan, and did not take any major action. Therefore, he had been recuperating at home.
But just as he was sitting on the couch reading a book, his son Wu Ding pushed the door open and walked in from outside.
"Father!"
Wu Yingqiu raised his head and said, "Hmm?"
"Father, something happened!"
"What's going on?"
Wu Yingqiu slowly closed the book and frowned slightly. "What's making you so flustered? Your father has taught you many times. Now that you are an official in the cabinet, you must remain calm."
"But my son can't calm down about this matter."
"oh?"
Wu Yingqiu raised his gray eyebrows and looked at the solemn expression on Wu Ding's face. Then he listened outside and seemed to hear the sound of servants from the Commandant's Mansion running back and forth, laughing and cheering, carried by the wind.
So he asked, "What happened?"
Wu Ding panted and said, "Just now, news came in that the imperial concubine is pregnant!"
“…”
Wu Yingqiu's breathing sank slightly.
He said, "Really?"
Wu Ding stamped his foot and said, "How could my son lie to you about something like this?"
“…”
"I heard that the medical officer from the Duwei Mansion went to see her, and later, the emperor called Wang Baizhi over as well."
“…”
"It has been confirmed that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant, and it has been two months!"
“…”
When Wu Yingqiu heard the news, although his breathing was tense and his expression was solemn, he was not as impatient as the young people. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyelids, which were slightly drooping due to his old age, almost covered the light in his eyes.
Only that little bit of light, like a needle tip, shot out.
He thought for a long time and said, "What is the emperor doing now?"
Wu Ding said, "What else can it be? It's almost earth-shattering!"
When he said this, he didn't notice at all that even if the emperor turned the world upside down, it was still his own world.
He just said hurriedly: "Over there, people are moving things and cleaning the house for the imperial concubine. I heard that they just opened the treasury and wanted to give rice and noodles to the city. They also wanted to reward each servant of the Duwei Mansion with ten taels of silver. This was stopped by the imperial concubine."
Speaking of which, it's quite lively over there.
But when Wu Ding talked about these happy things, his mood became worse and worse.
He said: "Father, if the imperial concubine gives birth to a prince this time, I'm afraid——"
