Chapter 1989 If you find the ride too bumpy, you don’t have to go
Having said this, he looked at Nan Yan and said solemnly:
"You, don't ask either."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him quietly. After a while, she nodded with a complicated expression: "I understand."
After saying that, he lowered his head and ate quietly.
Somehow, this matter had nothing to do with them, and even if it was brought up, it wouldn't have had much impact, but the atmosphere at the dinner table changed miraculously.
It became a bit dull.
Zhu Feng took a few bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks as if he had no appetite.
Nan Yan looked up at him and asked, "Your Majesty, you're not going to eat anymore?"
Zhu Feng said, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night. I don't have much of an appetite."
“…”
"Eat more."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Then Your Majesty, please have some soup. It's made with pheasant chicks that Ye Zheng had people hunt outside. It's very delicious."
Zhu Feng said, "Pour half a bowl."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately came over to serve him soup.
Zhu Feng picked it up and drank a little. It was indeed delicious. There were also some dried mushrooms in it, which made the taste even more unique. He finished half a bowl in one gulp and said, "This is good. You should drink some too. It's very nourishing."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I heard that I wasn't feeling well a few days ago, so Ye Zheng asked someone to find a way to get those fresh animals back."
Zhu Feng said: "He is careful."
After saying that, he looked at Nan Yan again and said softly, "Well, you look much better than before."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's no problem to beat a tiger."
Having said this, Zhu Feng glared at her again.
"Fighting a tiger? Someone like you wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between a tiger's teeth!"
“…”
He said this just to ridicule her, as a joke between the two of them, but when Nan Yan heard this, she shuddered suddenly.
His eyes twinkled as he looked at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng sensed something strange in her gaze and expression, and looked at her again: "What's wrong?"
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless.
She couldn't say it either.
Because she had no way of telling Zhu Feng that she had heard these words before, and he had also said them to her.
At that time, I was injured and was sent to the Jian family to recuperate. After Zhu Feng had dealt with everything in the palace, he took me back to the palace. Moreover, he specially arranged a space for me in the corner of the Wuying Palace for me to sit there and work.
At that time, he was still worried about his health, but he boasted that he was no longer feeling unwell.
You can even beat a tiger.
She remembered that at that time, Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Fighting a tiger? You're not even strong enough to fill the gaps between a tiger's teeth!"
The words are still fresh in my mind.
Now, he has forgotten everything that happened in the past, but he still says almost the same words to himself.
It can be seen that he is still himself.
Then am I still the same person as before?
Nan Yan was filled with emotion for a moment, and Zhu Feng looked at her and said softly, "I don't want you to go fight tigers. As long as you are healthy and don't have any accidents on the road, it's fine. I also want to take you to see a place."
"Um?"
Nan Yan looked up at him and asked, "Where is Your Majesty taking me?"
Aren’t they going back to the capital directly?
Zhu Feng said, "Yumen Pass."
“…”
Nan Yan paused.
After a while, he whispered, "Yumen Pass..."
In fact, their place is already considered as the territory of Yumen Pass. It takes less than half a day to walk northwest from Shazhouwei to Yumen Pass. The mysterious man asked her to lure Zhu Feng to Yumen Pass so that they could take action. In fact, it was just to set a nail in the place of Hot Moon Bend. Indeed, it made Zhu Feng suffer.
Finally, everything is over.
Zhu Feng, however, wanted to go to Yumen Pass to take a look.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, after leaving Shazhouwei, do you plan to go to Yumen Pass first, and then turn back and return directly to the capital?"
"Um."
"Your Majesty, why do you want to go there?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "No reason, I just wanted to go and take a look."
As he spoke, he looked at Nan Yan and said with a smile, "Now that we're here, don't you want to go and see Yumen Pass?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Not really. Of course I want to visit a place like this."
“…”
"I just heard that with the arrival of spring, the wind and sand in the northwest are very strong."
At this point, she glanced at Zhu Feng and said, "I'm afraid the journey will be very difficult."
Upon hearing these words, Zhu Feng's breath involuntarily sank.
Indeed, he had heard of it, or rather, he had known that in the wild lands of the northwest, in spring and autumn, the sky would be covered with yellow sand, which could even make people and horses lose their way in serious cases.
Once people lose their direction in the vast wilderness, there is almost no way to survive.
But when he thought of the yellow sand that covered the sky, his heart sank.
He thought of a dream.
In that dream, the sky was also filled with yellow sand, covering the entire sky and the sun, making it almost impossible to breathe. He could not see or hear anything, but could only feel his entire body burning like fire. That feeling was suffocating.
However, he was not sure whether it was his dream.
Because that dream was both real and unreal. Real because he was almost always driven to despair by the suffocating scenes in the dream, and unreal because every time he struggled to wake up from the dream, it seemed so far away, as if it was not the dream he had just experienced.
That seems to be——
A dream within a dream.
In his dream, he saw yellow sand all over the sky and such a suffocating scene.
"emperor."
“…”
"emperor?"
Just when Zhu Feng was somewhat lost in the residual memories of the dream within a dream, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears, as if it came from far away and only reached his heart.
When he turned around, he saw Nan Yan looking at him.
She placed one hand on Zhu Feng's and whispered, "What is the emperor thinking about? He looks so lost in thought."
“…”
Zhu Feng was quiet for a while, feeling the cool temperature coming from her soft palm - much lower than his own hot body temperature, that temperature made him feel comfortable in his chest.
I breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
Then he smiled and said, "Nothing."
Nan Yan was still looking at him, feeling that his expression just now, and the confused and helpless look in his eyes were somewhat familiar, as if it was his expression when she just came to his side and Ye Zheng wanted to warn herself - "Prince Yan likes to kill people in his dreams."
She whispered, "Are you okay?"
Zhu Feng shook his head.
Nan Yan continued, "Then, Your Majesty plans to leave Shazhouwei tomorrow, visit Yumen Pass first, and then return to the capital?"
"Um."
“…”
"If you find the bumpy ride annoying, you don't have to go. Just stay in Shazhouwei. I'll pick you up when I return from Yumen Pass."
