Chapter 500: How can there be no casualties in a war?
Zhu Feng frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly saw her hand and hurriedly grabbed it to take a look.
The gauze on her hands had been removed, leaving several brown-red scars.
Zhu Feng's brows were furrowed.
When Nan Yan saw his expression, she immediately thought that he must feel disgusted when he saw her hand, so she pulled her hand back and whispered, "Your Majesty, please don't look at it——"
However, just as she was about to pull her hand away, Zhu Feng exerted force and pinched her fingertips again.
"Does it still hurt?"
"ah?"
"I ask you, does it still hurt?"
"…It doesn't hurt anymore. It hasn't hurt for a long time."
Zhu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at her again and said softly, "It's good that it doesn't hurt."
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, it's very ugly, isn't it?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "It's ugly without you!"
"Why?"
Nan Yan was stunned, but saw Zhu Feng holding her hand even tighter, saying, "I have fought for more than ten years, and there are many scars on my body that are more frightening than this. What's this of yours?"
“…”
"This—is a meritorious service!"
He looked into Nan Yan's eyes and said, "You left this scar because you helped me."
For some reason, although she was always worried about the scar on her hand, when she heard Zhu Feng's words, Nan Yan felt her heart soften and suddenly felt that it didn't matter even if the scar remained.
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her again and said, "But, your hands are the only thing that looks good on you. If you keep messing up like this, you'll be useless!"
Hearing him scold like that, Nan Yan smiled secretly.
She said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Doctor Li has given me some ointment. He said it will heal after applying it for a while."
"That's more like it."
Zhu Feng finally felt relieved.
Then, he looked at her bed again and saw that she was packing a bundle. He said, "What are you doing?"
Nan Yan said, "I just heard from them that the Emperor will go to the North City in person to command the battle."
"Um."
"This servant wants to go with you."
"no!"
Unexpectedly, he refused without hesitation and firmly.
Nan Yan suddenly became anxious: "Why not?"
"No means no. Do you still have the right to ask more questions?"
"But--"
"No buts!"
He was so tough that he didn't give people a chance to speak.
Nan Yan shuddered slightly, indeed she was frightened by him, but she stared at him with wide eyes for a long time before whispering, "Your Majesty...is he in danger?"
“…”
"Peking, will—"
"What nonsense!" Zhu Feng glared at her, resisting the urge to strangle her: "With me here, where's the danger?"
“…”
"I have defended Peking for over ten years. Ask me when the gates of Peking have ever been breached!"
“…”
Of course Nan Yan had heard of it. He had guarded Peking for more than ten years, and the army of the Dian Kingdom had never been able to go south to harass the country again. In fact, many times, he even crossed the Great Wall to fight against the army of the Dian Kingdom.
The people of Dian were so defeated that they dared not move south.
but--
Not fifty thousand, but two hundred thousand.
Nan Yan whispered, "If that's the case, then why didn't the emperor take this servant with him?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't expect that this girl was not afraid even though he was so angry.
How dare you ask?
He wanted to show his "thunderous rage" again, but was afraid of really scaring her. Besides, he saw her scarred hands tightly clutching her sleeves.
How did this fire come out?
He stared at her for a long time, and finally let out a deep breath: "Beiping City will not be in danger."
“…”
"But where the war is taking place, how can there be no casualties?"
