Chapter 2494 Conditions
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm only afraid that even death won't bring the Emperor back to his senses. The Emperor is supreme, and his safety is crucial to the nation and the people. If anything goes wrong, how will the Emperor explain it to the world?"
“…”
These words made Zhu Feng silent.
Nan Yan herself knew that it was rare. Usually, when the two of them talked, Zhu Feng had a lot of profound principles and she could never win against him.
This time I finally managed to make him speechless.
She wrapped her arms around his neck even tighter, almost hanging herself on him, and continued to say, "So, Your Majesty, Your Majesty cannot go to detoxify, you cannot!"
“…”
"Your Majesty, please don't go, okay?"
“…”
After hearing what she said, Zhu Feng remained silent, with his brows slightly furrowed, forming several deep wrinkles.
After hearing Nan Yan's plea, his expression became even more gloomy.
It was unknown how long it was before he lowered his head and looked at her with complicated eyes. Nan Yan could feel the struggle in his heart and looked at him nervously.
Waiting for his answer.
Then I heard Zhu Feng say in a deep voice: "I can't promise you."
"emperor!"
"I am the Son of Heaven, rich in all the world. I want to create a prosperous era for all the people in the world. Therefore, over the years, I have worked diligently and never slacked off. Even during the New Year, I would go to the Imperial Study to review memorials."
“…”
"But does this mean I can completely ignore myself?"
“…”
As he spoke, he looked down at her, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "Nan Yan, be fair, I am also a human being."
These words made Nan Yan's heart ache.
He was clearly showing weakness in what he said just now.
From the time she and Zhu Feng met until now, they had experienced too many hardships and obstacles together. All she saw was Zhu Feng being cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, or being resolute and unyielding, but she had never thought that Zhu Feng would show weakness.
He is also a human being.
Even if he is a martial arts expert and even if he dominates the world, he is still a human being.
We also have our own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and there are softest spots in our bodies and hearts. Let alone swords and spears, even if you just touch it with words, it will hurt.
Nan Yan's breathing stopped.
She stared at him blankly: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng said: "Who can accept a broken life?"
“…”
"Who wouldn't ask about their origins, even being completely ignorant of who their... their mother is?"
At this point, he smiled bitterly and said, "I ask myself, I can't do it."
“…”
He lowered his head again and looked at Nan Yan: "Can you do it?"
Not knowing whether his words had any hidden meaning, Nan Yan's eyes flickered when she was asked, and she lowered her head feeling a little guilty.
Everyone knows that there is only one answer.
As he said, no one can accept a broken life, and no one can be indifferent to where they come from.
Especially when it comes to matters involving parents.
Even though she was in the harem and couldn't leave at will, wasn't she still searching for clues about her parents?
If you can't even do it yourself, how can you blame others?
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng sighed deeply and said, "I knew you would definitely stop me, so I didn't want you to know. But now that you know, I can't do anything about it."
As he spoke, he began to exert force with his hands.
He easily took off Nan Yan's hands that were around his neck, and took her back to the bed by her arms to sit down. During this time, Nan Yan just let him do whatever he wanted, just looking up at him like a child.
Zhu Feng looked down at her, a look of reluctance on his face.
But also firm.
He said softly, "Right now, there's nothing important happening in the palace. You should stay in Yonghe Palace these days and recuperate."
Nan Yan's eyes widened suddenly: "Your Majesty, are you really going to lock me up?"
“…”
Zhu Feng coughed lightly.
"It's just to let you cultivate yourself well."
“…”
"Anyway, you've been working so hard for the Shen family during this period. Take this opportunity to take good care of your health."
“…”
"I will find time to come and see you."
"How can that be!"
Nan Yan was also anxious. She had been right before. Zhu Feng was just as she had expected. He wanted to close the Yonghe Palace and lock her up to prevent her from disturbing his detoxification.
Seeing that she was about to struggle, Zhu Feng simply reached out and pressed her shoulders to restrain her.
"Be obedient."
"don't want!"
"obedient!"
Zhu Feng grabbed her shoulders and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to argue with you anymore. I can discuss other things with you, and even listen to you, but not this one!"
“…”
"So, you stay here obediently."
“…”
"I will release you once the poison in my body is resolved."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Just as he reached out to open the door and was about to leave Yonghe Palace, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. Before Zhu Feng could react, he felt a strong blow on his back and was thrown against the door again.
With a "clang", the gate of Yonghe Palace made another loud noise.
Everyone outside was so frightened that their faces dropped.
Just like before, the pair of small hands once again wrapped around his slender waist, and even more tightly than before. Zhu Feng felt like a tree entangled by vines.
Even his calf was hooked by a leg.
He turned around and saw Nan Yan clinging to his back, hugging him tightly.
"you--"
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"You didn't listen to a word I said to you, did you?"
“…”
"Are you going to disobey?"
“…”
“Let go!”
“…”
"Nan Yan!"
"emperor!"
Seeing that Zhu Feng was really angry, Nan Yan bit the clothes on his shoulder and said forcefully: "I promise you!"
“……!”
Zhu Feng paused for a moment.
As if he couldn't believe his ears, he turned around and looked at her.
Just now, she was clearly determined to do it, so why did she suddenly agree to it now?
He turned back doubtfully and whispered, "Will you promise me?"
"Um."
"real?"
Nan Yan looked at him with eyes wide open: "How dare I deceive you?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was still skeptical.
After all, the two of them are an "old married couple". Nan Yan understands him, and he knows her too well.
It's not that simple.
Sure enough, Nan Yan continued, "But, Your Majesty must also agree to one condition of mine."
Zhu Feng couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "What are the conditions?"
