Chapter 944 The Corpse of the Imperial Concubine
Those hands were like iron pliers, getting stronger and stronger.
Nan Yan felt that she couldn't breathe, and her whole body seemed to be shattered in his arms.
"Your Majesty..."
She struggled subconsciously, put her hands on his chest, and gently pushed him away: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Feeling her rejection, Zhu Feng's already collapsed mind was filled with the fear of "losing".
The next moment, those hands hugged Nan Yan even tighter.
She could no longer breathe. The darkness in front of her eyes was now filled with strange and colorful lights, as if her soul was about to leave her body.
"No……"
She suffocated and struggled in his arms with her last bit of strength.
"Your Majesty...it's me, it's me..."
She kept repeating it in his ear.
Zhu Feng's body suddenly shook again.
He clearly couldn't hear anything, but at this moment, an indescribable sense of fear surged in his heart, something he had never experienced before.
He subconsciously wanted to let go of his hands.
But at this time, all the blood in his body had surged up. Even in the pitch-black room, at such a close distance, Nan Yan could see that his eyes were red, his breathing was hot, and it seemed that his blood vessels were dilated. He felt as if his whole body was about to collapse in the next moment.
What's wrong with him?
Thinking of this, she subconsciously reached out and hugged him again.
As a result, those hands held her even tighter in their embrace. Nan Yan felt as if all the bones in her body were shattered in his embrace.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly came to my ears.
Before I could react, I felt the person on my body tense up, and then slowly fall down.
All of a sudden, he pushed her down on the bed.
“……!”
The pair of arms that were like iron clamps finally loosened. Nan Yan gasped for breath and opened her eyes. She saw Zhu Feng fainted and his tall body slowly slid to the side.
And behind him stood a familiar figure.
"Are you okay?"
He Yi's deep and familiar voice echoed in the night.
"Crane…clothes?"
Nan Yan looked at the person in front of her in surprise.
He Yi was seen in the dark night, still emitting the cold air brought from outside. He withdrew one of his hands from Zhu Feng's back, as if he had just pressed several acupoints on his body.
At this time, Zhu Feng's breathing and heartbeat were completely disordered.
The bloodline is almost on the verge of collapse.
Even though Nan Yan didn't know anything about medicine, she could sense his critical condition when she saw him like this. She quickly turned over and hugged Zhu Feng, ignoring her own weak limbs. "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
Zhu Feng had no way to respond to him.
Nan Yan was panicked and at a loss. She raised her head and looked at He Yi: "What happened to him? Why is he like this?"
At that moment, she could not sense any breath from Zhu Feng.
Even, I couldn't feel the murderous intent.
Although Zhu Feng has always been a very violent person, especially when he kills people, even through a wall, one can feel the murderous aura as sharp as a knife blade.
But just now, she couldn't feel it; although she couldn't feel it, she almost died in his arms.
This made her shudder.
She asked, "What happened to him?"
He Yi supported Zhu Feng, frowned, glanced at her, and then said: "He is at the critical moment of life and death."
“…”
Just a few words made Nan Yan shudder.
Life and death?
What's the meaning?
Could it be that Zhu Feng is now on the verge of death?
Why is this happening? Isn't he fine?
As if he understood the doubt in her eyes, He Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "I can't explain this matter to you for the time being. Right now, the emperor's business is the most important thing."
At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside.
Nan Yan looked up and saw a flickering fire outside the door, as if someone was walking towards her with a torch, and a figure swayed at the door.
"Where's the Emperor?"
"Has the Emperor arrived here?"
"Here?"
He Yi turned around and said, "The emperor is here, come quickly and send him back to the bedroom."
When the people outside heard this, they rushed in.
The firelight illuminated the small room. When the guards saw Zhu Feng fainted on the bed and saw Nan Yan, who was still a little disheveled, on the other side, they lowered their heads in fear: "Your Highness."
He Yi, on the other hand, had a serious expression on his face: "No need for so much formality, hurry up!"
"yes."
They hurried forward and helped the unconscious Zhu Feng up, and several of them staggered out.
Seeing that He Yi was about to turn around and leave, Nan Yan hurriedly got off the bed and grabbed his sleeve. Looking at his back as he walked away outside the door, she was extremely anxious: "He Yi, just tell me, the emperor—he will be fine, right?"
“…”
This time, it was the first time in all the time she had known He Yi that she felt him hesitate.
The expression on that handsome face was so solemn that it was unbearable to look at it.
Nan Yan's heart sank.
"What happened?"
He Yi looked at her again, then said, "I will do my best."
“…”
"only--"
"Just what?"
“It may come at a great cost.”
As he spoke, his brows furrowed. He looked at Nan Yan and said word by word, "Your Highness, I am indeed a little surprised that the Emperor would come here."
“…”
"He should have... remembered nothing, and shown no mercy to anyone."
Show mercy!
These two words made Nan Yan shudder suddenly.
"You mean he—"
“…”
He Yi knew that he had scared her, but since things had come to this point, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
He said in a deep voice: "When I came here, I really thought that what I would see was the corpse of the Imperial Concubine."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heartbeat paused.
"However, precisely because of this, I want to tell you, Madam Queen, that you must be prepared."
“…”
"This price is quite high."
“…”
After saying that, he turned and left.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from outside. Nan Yan stood at the door and felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen into ice in an instant.
She felt as if she suddenly understood something, but she also felt a little dazed.
A considerable price?
How big?
I almost paid with my life that day. Isn’t this price enough?
What exactly is the price that He Yi mentioned?
She subconsciously wanted to go out, but the howling cold wind and the snow outside made her stop, as if it were another cruel world.
Just then, another flash of light appeared nearby.
Nan Yan slowly turned her head and saw Qin Ruolan holding a candlestick, standing silently in the cold wind.
