Chapter 2601 I must leave here!
Nan Yan looked at him with a flickering gaze, as if she was thinking about something.
After a moment, he said, "She didn't lie."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned, tilted her head and thought for a while, finally seemed to come to her senses, and said softly: "Oh."
Zhu Feng looked at her and smiled faintly.
Then he said, "Okay, it's too late, go to bed."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Nan Yan leaned in his arms, silent, but she didn't close her eyes, she was still thinking about something. After a long while, she thought Zhu Feng, who had fallen asleep, spoke again, and said in a deep voice: "Are you still not asleep?"
“…”
"You didn't sleep well last night, and you've been tossing and turning on the horse for the past two days. You can't even stand steadily today. Aren't you tired?"
“…”
"Go to bed quickly!"
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan immediately closed her eyes.
She curled up obediently in his arms.
Zhu Feng still had his eyes closed, listening to her even breathing gradually becoming heavier, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms again.
The night deepens.
In the dark night, Xue Yun stayed in her own room. Because she didn't open the windows or doors, the room was as hot as a steamer. She was sweating profusely, and soon even her underwear was soaked.
She couldn't help but walk to the window and push it open a little.
As soon as he looked outside, he frowned.
There were actually several young eunuchs standing in front of the door outside the wing room.
That was the only way out of the north yard. If they stood there, they would be blocking the only exit.
Xue Yun frowned and thought for a while, then pushed the door open and went out.
Several young eunuchs were chatting, but when they heard her footsteps, they immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Master Xue, where are you going so late?"
Xue Yun said with a smile: "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to hang out. What are you doing here?"
"Wandering around?"
The young eunuchs laughed and said, "Sir Xue, we're sorry. Please just stroll around this courtyard."
"Why? I can't go out yet?"
"My lord, please don't misunderstand me. We were all sent by the Imperial Concubine. She said that the battle in White Tiger City is about to begin, and there might be spies sneaking into the Commandant's Mansion. Didn't Master Xue's house get robbed before?"
“…”
"If the bad guys hurt Lord Xue, it would be a loss for the court."
“…”
"So, the Imperial Concubine asked us to come and guard this place. It's for the safety of Master Xue. Look, Master Xue, the Imperial Concubine personally ordered this. What a great honor this is."
The smile on Xue Yun's face became a little stiff.
The young eunuch continued, "However, it's getting late. Master Xue should stop wandering around and go back to rest."
Xue Yun looked at them for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "When you have time, please thank the Imperial Concubine for her kindness."
Several young eunuchs immediately said, "Your Excellency is too polite."
After saying that, Xue Yun turned around and went back to his room.
Looking at the bag she had packed long ago on the table, she couldn't help but sit down at the table angrily and knocked the table hard with her hand.
hateful!
He originally thought that after handing the medicine to the imperial concubine, he could leave without any worries, but he did not expect that as soon as he came back, these eunuchs guarding the gate would follow him.
Could it be that when the imperial concubine was talking to me, she had already thought of keeping an eye on me.
Did she already know that she would want to leave?
But--
She should want to leave, right?
From the very beginning, no, it should be said that since she admitted her feelings for the emperor to her, the imperial concubine has never had a good impression of her, and she once said in person that she hoped she could leave the emperor's side.
Because of this incident, the emperor and the imperial concubine had several conflicts.
Why is she doing this now when I'm planning to leave?
Could it be that she didn't know that the emperor had been asking her questions repeatedly these days?
Even if she didn't know, she should still want to leave.
If they knew, they shouldn't have sent anyone to stop me.
Or has she really accepted the title of "Medical Concubine" that the Imperial Concubine had mentioned to her as a joke?
No, it's impossible!
If this is true, then doesn’t it mean that... the emperor’s question will become a reality in the near future?
Xue Yun felt her mind was a mess, not only could she not make sense of it, but it even gave her a splitting headache. Seeing that midnight was approaching and the people outside were still guarding, she could only reluctantly go to sleep and think of a solution the next day.
Xue Yun got up early the next morning.
I walked to the window and looked out, but the little eunuchs were no longer at the door!
Xue Yun was overjoyed.
She quickly washed up and was about to go out with her bag, but when she reached the door, she hesitated again, put the bag down first, and walked out alone.
There was indeed no one at the gate.
She leaned out again to take a look.
Unexpectedly, when they looked again, they found that although the young eunuchs were gone, there were still several soldiers standing guard outside the door of the wing room.
Xue Yun was stunned for a moment: "You, you guys——"
When several soldiers saw her come out, they immediately nodded and saluted, saying, "Master Xue."
“…”
"We are here to guard the palace by the Emperor's order. Please don't blame me, Lord Xue."
Xue Yun frowned slightly and forced a smile, saying, "I know that the battle in White Tiger City is about to begin, so naturally the entire Duwei Mansion must be on alert. Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he was about to walk out.
But just as she took a step forward, several soldiers swung their long swords and stopped her.
Xue Yun's face immediately darkened and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Several soldiers said, "Don't be offended, Master Xue."
"The Emperor has decreed that the entire Duwei Mansion be placed under martial law."
Xue Yun said, "Martial law is to guard against outsiders, right? As a medical officer, am I also to be under martial law, with no freedom to even go out for a walk?"
The soldier said, "We dare not disobey the Emperor's orders."
Xue Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Even so, as a medical officer, I still have to check the pulse of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. Could it be that I can't even do this?"
The soldier said, "This is Lord Xue's accusation, and we have no right to hinder it. However, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are not in the Commandant's Mansion. If Lord Xue wants to check on the patient's pulse, he must wait until the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine return before asking for permission."
Not in the Duwei Mansion?
Xue Yun subconsciously asked: "Then, where did the emperor and the others go?"
Several soldiers said expressionlessly, "We don't know."
“…”
Xue Yun looked at them. It was obvious that these people were unyielding. However, with the emperor and the imperial concubine's order, no one dared to neglect it.
She could only turn around and return to her room with hatred.
The stuffiness in the room made her feel even more restless and she paced back and forth in the room.
After a long while, she reached out and pounded the table hard.
"No, I can't just do this... I have to get out of here!"
