Chapter 2753 I am happy to fulfill it
Zhu Feng said, "Xie Jiaojiao is injured."
"Ah? She's injured? Did those killers hurt her?"
"That's right."
"That counts?"
Nan Yan was confused by what she heard. If it was injured, it was injured. If it wasn't, it wasn't. How could it be considered "also considered"?
Seeing her puzzled expression, Zhu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Those assassins hadn't attacked her yet. They were just planning to kill Li Bushang, and she got hurt while trying to protect him."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Zhu Feng said, "Li Bushang told me this in the imperial study."
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "So, is it serious?"
Zhu Feng said, "From what he said, he was stabbed in the shoulder and the bone was fractured, but fortunately it wasn't fatal. I have already sent someone to deliver the best medicine. He should be fine after some rest."
Nan Yan frowned and said, "Hey, she's a girl after all. A wound like this won't leave any symptoms, right?"
"That depends on how you recuperate."
“…”
"However, when I was in the army before, many soldiers suffered similar injuries. It's no big deal."
Nan Yan said, "Those are grown men like you, but Xie Jiaojiao is just a young lady after all."
“…”
"Even if there's no disease left, it's not good to leave a scar in this place."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Said: "Then, just give her some medicine to heal her wounds."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, since Xie Jiaojiao was injured while protecting an official of the imperial court, and her family also made contributions in the surrender of Bailong City, could I find an opportunity to summon her to the palace and offer her some words of comfort? This would be a sign of Your Majesty's appreciation for them."
Zhu Feng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Nan Yan asked carefully, "Is it okay?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, "If that's not possible, then why would I tell you this?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "So the Emperor already has this plan."
Zhu Feng said, "Their family is a merchant family and has little to do with the imperial court. I don't have much to reward her with except for some medicine for her wounds. However, as the imperial concubine, you are an old acquaintance of her, so you can meet her and offer her some words of comfort."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty and I have the same idea."
Zhu Feng added, "However, she probably won't be able to move for the next few days. Wait a couple of days until she feels better, then you can summon her."
"I understand."
They talked for a while, and then it was time for dinner.
After the people in the imperial kitchen had laid out the food, the two of them walked to the table and sat down, starting to eat slowly. However, Nan Yan seemed to be thinking about something and was absent-minded while eating.
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "What evil ideas are you thinking about?"
Nan Yan asked, "What did the emperor say? Why did this concubine have such evil thoughts?"
"Looking at your face, it doesn't look like you're thinking good things."
"I was thinking of good things!"
"What are you thinking about?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment, leaned towards him, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, then Xie Jiaojiao can be considered a lifesaver who didn't get hurt this time."
Zhu Feng glanced at her. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face clearly said, "You are definitely not thinking of good things."
Nan Yan said, "From this, we can see that Miss Xie really has deep feelings for him."
“…”
"If it weren't for deep love and loyalty, what girl would use her body as a shield to protect a man?"
Zhu Feng said, "You don't need to nag about her feelings anymore."
Nan Yan said: "How can this be called nagging? What I meant is that for saving my life, I should—"
"What?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Do you still want Li Bushang to marry you?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "I didn't say that."
After she finished speaking, her eyes flickered again, and she whispered, "But, in this way, even if I am not hurt and am still indifferent, I can't be indifferent anymore."
“…”
"This girl loves him so much."
“…”
"Is there anyone in this world who treats him better than Xie Jiaojiao?"
“…”
"The girl's heart is warm, her blood is warm too. Even if he has a heart of stone, he can still feel a little warmth, right?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said nothing.
Nan Yan looked at him again and said softly, "What does the emperor think?"
Zhu Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "Well, it depends on one's fate."
“…”
“When it’s that person, even if it’s not a heart, without shedding a drop of blood, your heart will be warm.”
“…”
“It warms my heart to see each other.”
“…”
"If it weren't for that person, even if he had sent it with all his heart, people would still dislike its bloody smell."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, she looked at him in surprise.
After Zhu Feng finished speaking, he was quiet for a while. As if he felt Nan Yan's gaze, he turned his head to look at her and couldn't help laughing. "Why are you opening your mouth so wide? Don't you recognize me?"
“…No, it’s not.”
Nan Yan shook her head slightly.
She was not surprised by these words, but she was surprised that these words came from Zhu Feng's mouth.
She thought that his mind and heart were filled with his country and his military strategies, but she didn't expect that he could even think about such a small matter. Moreover, although his words were rough, they were very insightful.
She was quiet for a while, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat again. Zhu Feng also started eating, and occasionally picked up some food for her.
After a while, Nan Yan said softly, "I was originally thinking that after this incident, I wanted to test Bu Shang's attitude. Since the emperor said so, I will not move for the time being. The emperor is also right. There is no need to be so anxious. It depends on one's fate."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I knew you wanted to do this."
“…”
"But there's no need to pinch your hands and feet."
“…”
"Haven't you always been hoping that something would happen between them and that they would develop some affection? This incident might just be what you hoped for."
Nan Yan said: "Then what exactly does the emperor mean?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "What I mean is, wait a few days, until Xie Jiaojiao's injuries have healed a little, then you can summon her to the palace to speak. In my opinion, Li Bushang is also very concerned about her injury. I heard that he personally sent Xie Jiaojiao back to his residence yesterday and stayed by her side all night."
"oh……"
"So, when Xie Jiaojiao enters the palace, I can also graciously allow Li Bushang to accompany her."
“…”
"When the time comes, you'll just keep an eye out and see if there's any affinity between the two of them."
“…”
"If not, then forget it. I won't force Li Bu to be injured."
Nan Yan said: "If, what if there is?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "If so, I will be happy to fulfill it."
