Chapter 1820 Hope, I’m just overthinking it
Not only did I not see it, I even...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead to block the heat that was rising up on his face, which almost made his cheeks red.
Seeing that Zhu Feng had an extremely ashamed expression, Nan Yan still didn't intend to let him go easily.
This kind of thing should not be let go easily.
She bit her lower lip, smiled, and stretched out her hand that was on his shoulder to poke his face with her fingers.
My fingertips were originally cool, but when they touched his hot cheek, I almost got burned.
Nan Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"you--"
No one has ever dared to touch the emperor's face like this. This is simply like stroking a tiger's whiskers!
Zhu Feng turned around and wanted to be angry with her, but he was in the wrong after all. In addition, when he saw Nan Yan's smiling eyes, the fire of karma that had been burning on his head just now was inexplicably extinguished.
All that is left is a heart full of tenderness.
And a little unspeakable guilt.
He said, "Okay."
After saying that, he was about to turn his face to the side, but this time, Nan Yan didn't let him "escape". She simply reached out with her two still slightly cold hands to hold his face and turned his face back.
Let him face you.
Then he said seriously: "How can it be okay? This matter needs to be explained clearly."
“…”
"Your Majesty is always so distrustful of me. If I had stayed in the harem my whole life and never met a man, it would have been fine. But Your Majesty often goes on tours, and he always takes me with him. I always see and hear people from outside. It's impossible for this to happen once a year."
When Zhu Feng heard this, he frowned.
Just as he was about to say something, Nan Yan continued, "This time, it was my fault. I took the girl's things and didn't have time to explain it to the emperor right away. But the emperor kept everything to himself and got angry with me without even asking."
“…”
"Who knows when the Emperor will be furious and chop off my head?"
Zhu Feng was still silent after hearing the previous words, but after hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help but raised his head and gritted his teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Nan Yan said, "I just want to make things clear to the emperor."
“…”
"This world is inherently difficult and dangerous. I, a weak woman, am like a hedgehog. I raise my thorns only to fight for my dignity, but I am truly powerless against the harsh winds and frosts. If Your Majesty doubts me, it would be like pulling out all my thorns. If I still refuse to yield, I will only end up shattered to pieces."
Hearing her say this, Zhu Feng felt a chill on his originally hot face.
The coolness woke him up.
That's right.
She was the most favored concubine around him, but she was also a thorn in everyone's eyes. If he didn't trust her, if he abandoned her, it would be equivalent to putting her in unprotected danger.
If something like that really happens, it will be too late to regret.
He looked at Nan Yan again, and his eyes became serious.
After a long silence, he reached out and took away Nan Yan's hands that were holding his cheeks, held them in his palms, and wanted to say something, but looking at the pair of clear eyes looking straight at him, he didn't know how to start.
After a while, he took her into his arms.
Nan Yan also leaned obediently on his chest.
Then he heard a deep voice, as if it came from above his head, or as if it came from deep within the thick chest he was leaning against.
"No."
“…”
"I am just angry, but I don't doubt you."
“……?”
These words made Nan Yan stunned.
But then he seemed to understand something and couldn't help but laugh.
She wanted to look up at him, but Zhu Feng's face was already flushed. Even though the light in the carriage was not bright, she would definitely see them if they were so close.
He held her little head down, not allowing her to look up.
Nan Yan almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
She leaned obediently in his arms, no longer moving, and whispered, "What should I do? The emperor is always angry with me."
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "I'm just angry at myself, what does it have to do with you?"
Nan Yan wanted to laugh more and more, but she didn't dare to laugh more and more.
Indeed, that was what he did this time.
I was so angry that I was exhausted and probably didn't sleep well that night, but he didn't really come to question me or anything.
Nan Yan suppressed a laugh and said, "If the emperor is angry with himself, I won't care."
"snort!"
One of them was still sulking, the other was trying to hold back a laugh, but they were hugging each other, leaning on each other. The carriage was shaking, and soon they drove out of Bailong City.
Suddenly I felt that the wind outside was much louder.
At this moment, Nan Yan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your Majesty, did Master Xue Yun come just to see you off?"
Zhu Feng then remembered the pregnancy-preserving medicine Xue Yun had brought.
He had wanted to grind the package into powder and throw it into a corner as soon as he got on the carriage. But then he stretched out his arm and took it back, saying, "He also gave you a packet of pregnancy-protecting medicine, saying that they are all good things from Dongxitang. Although they are definitely not as good as Wang Baizhi's, don't let her down. Take it back and have a look. If it's good, you can use it."
Nan Yan took the packet of medicine and smelled it.
Although I don't know much about pharmacology, this herb has a strong medicinal aroma, so I think it must be good.
Then he smiled and put it aside.
But he looked up at Zhu Feng again: "Besides this, is there nothing else?"
“…”
This time, Zhu Feng's brows knitted slightly, barely perceptible.
Said: "No."
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him, blinked, and said, "But I heard that she came to the inn last night and had a meal with the emperor. She is just here to deliver medicine, so it won't take that long."
Zhu Feng coughed lightly and said, "We also talked about some other things."
"What's up?"
"Yes, it's that Xue Ling. She asked us to take good care of her sister."
"That's all?"
Zhu Feng frowned, but he couldn't bear to be mean to her. He just lowered his head and glared at her: "What else?"
“…”
"Are you still worried about what could happen between me and her?"
“…”
After hearing what he said, Nan Yan didn't feel comfortable asking any further.
Just smiled awkwardly: "No."
After saying that, she continued to lean obediently in his arms, sitting still.
Zhu Feng looked down at her and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't see that there was a hint of uneasiness in Nan Yan's lowered eyes.
Although just now, Zhu Feng told her "not to look".
However, since she knew that Zhu Feng had taken the handkerchief, she became bolder and lifted the curtain a little to look outside.
She saw Zhu Feng's back and Xue Yun standing opposite Zhu Feng.
And the look she gave Zhu Feng.
That look...
I hope I'm just overthinking it.
