Chapter 2541: There is no need to mention the past life
Thinking of this, he raised his head.
But Zhu Feng, who had been galloping on his horse in the wind and sand, suddenly shook a few times on the horse's back.
"emperor……?"
He shouted in confusion.
There is no doubt that the emperor is an excellent rider. Even someone like him who rides a horse cannot compare to someone walking on flat ground. Even if there is a little wind and sand now, it will not cause the emperor to be like this.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, seemed not to hear his shout and did not even turn his head.
Still continue to ride forward.
In fact, at this time, Zhu Feng could no longer hear any sound.
In his ears, or rather in his mind, all he could hear was the whistling sound of the wind, which was roaring and sweeping up the sky full of yellow sand, almost suffocating him.
This feeling—
He is not unfamiliar.
He had had this dream countless times before, a dream that suffocated him. Even after losing his memory, he was not able to completely get rid of it. But now, this dream weighed on his heart with a sense of oppression that was more real than reality.
Amid the howling wind, he could hear his own heavy breathing and heartbeat.
A strange feeling surged from my heart.
There seems to be something deep in the yellow sand.
When that realization emerged, a feeling of sadness and a tearing heartache instantly gripped him. Zhu Feng opened his eyes wide. The wind blew yellow sand into his eyes, which hurt like a needle prick. Tears welled up in his eyes immediately.
Tears welled up in my eyes, washing away the sand in them.
However, the sadness in his heart continued to surge up.
Zhu Feng felt like someone was strangling his neck and he was almost suffocating.
Why?
What is on the other side of the yellow sand?
What could make you so uncomfortable?
His vision was clear for a while, then blurry for a while, and the dizziness in his head almost made it impossible for him to hold on to the reins.
However, he still persisted and continued to move forward.
Seeing Zhu Feng's figure swaying a few more times and the wind and sand getting stronger, Chen Zixiao immediately squeezed his horse's belly and hurriedly caught up with Zhu Feng. He saw that the emperor was frowning hard, with his eyebrows twisted together.
His eyes looked heavy and confused.
"emperor……?"
Chen Zixiao called out again beside him.
This time, Zhu Feng reacted quickly and turned around almost immediately. The moment he met his gaze, even someone as resolute as Chen Zixiao couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
Zhu Feng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and they had long been accustomed to it.
But the moment just now was different.
Falcon, just see the person in front of you clearly.
But the look in his eyes just now seemed to be able to see through people's souls.
Chen Zixiao's breathing paused. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Feng's eyes were blank again, as if he didn't recognize him for a moment. After a moment's recognition, he said, "Zixiao?"
Chen Zixiao asked, "Is the emperor feeling unwell?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment. Chen Zixiao could clearly see that his brows were furrowed. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. Let's go back first."
After saying this, he spurred his horse forward again.
Chen Zixiao looked at his back without saying a word. He just greeted him and followed him with a few personal soldiers.
After being tossed around in the wind and sand for most of the day, the sky was filled with yellow sand and we couldn't see anything.
A few people staggered back to the Duwei Mansion, and Xiao Shunzi was already waiting at the door with a group of people to greet them.
When Zhu Feng turned over and dismounted, he stumbled a bit, frightening Xiao Shunzi so much that his face turned pale. He quickly reached out to support him: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he threw the reins to the people around him and turned to walk towards the Duwei Mansion. Xiao Shunzi hurriedly followed with a group of people. Chen Zixiao asked a few personal soldiers to return to the camp first, and he followed the emperor to his residence.
This place was naturally prepared long ago and the lights were bright.
In the candlelight, one could clearly see that the emperor's eyes were a little red, but his face was frighteningly pale. He walked a few steps to the chair and sat down, one hand grasping the armrest tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Chen Zixiao walked over, looked at him like this, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is a doctor in the Duwei Mansion. If Your Majesty is unwell, would you like to call him over to take Your Majesty's pulse?"
"No need,"
Zhu Feng said, "I brought the imperial physician with me."
"Doctor Xue may not be any more capable than the doctors at the Duwei Mansion."
“…”
Zhu Feng glanced at him.
He said lightly: "No need."
"……yes."
Chen Zixiao stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment. Zhu Feng, on the other hand, seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the tea at hand and took two sips, and the cup was empty.
Then he said to Chen Zixiao: "Zixiao, I think you have adapted very well."
"ah?"
"Before you entered the imperial court as an official, you followed your uncle to cultivate at Zhenwu Temple. There's no such wind and sand in the south, right?"
"Oh, yes, Zhenwu Temple is in Lingtian Mountain. The scenery and climate there are better than those in the northwest."
"I've wronged you by sending you to this place."
"How can I, a humble official, deserve what Your Majesty has said?"
Zhu Feng waved his hand, and Xiao Shunzi hurried over with the teapot to refill his cup. He took another sip, savoring the flavor as he spoke, "I remember—I heard Empress Renxiao and the others mention that my uncle followed Emperor Gao in his campaigns, achieving unparalleled military exploits. Did he ever tell you that he ever fought in the northwest?"
“…”
"If I had been here before, I would have told you that the sandstorms here are deadly."
“…”
Chen Zixiao didn't speak immediately, but frowned slightly.
As if pondering the emperor's words.
Zhu Feng waited for a while but saw no response, so he raised his head and said with a smile, "What's wrong? It happened so long ago, you can't remember it?"
Chen Zixiao hurriedly said, "Oh no, it's not that I don't remember, it's just that he rarely mentioned the past."
"Why? He never mentioned it?"
"The old man said that becoming a monk is like being in another life, so there's no need to talk about past lives anymore."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "He became a monk, which was quite free and easy, but he left behind too much—"
Having said that, I paused.
Then he smiled and said, "That's all."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "I have punished you a little. You can leave now. You have been busy all day. You should go back and rest."
Chen Zixiao said: "Yes."
After saying this, he left the emperor's residence.
However, he did not leave immediately, but paced slowly outside the courtyard gate. Sure enough, after a while, he saw a young eunuch leading people hurriedly coming here.
At this time, the wind and sand had covered the sky and the sun.
Chen Zixiao's sharp eyes could still see clearly that the person who was hurriedly sent into the emperor's residence by the eunuch was none other than him.
It was that Imperial Physician Xue.
