Chapter 861 Don’t lie to me, don’t ever!
"Why didn't I meet you at that time?"
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's heart trembled.
Originally, she still had many questions she wanted to ask, such as, what was Zhu Feng’s attitude towards Qin Ruolan now, how much affection did he have for her, and did he still love her?
However, after hearing these words, she felt that there was really no need to ask.
No need to ask anything.
Human emotions are slowly evolving. No one, no thing, and even no emotion can last forever.
Even I love Zhu Feng now and would even sacrifice my life for him, but if one day he becomes bloodthirsty, raping and looting, will I still love him?
The answer is no.
The love between two people is not based on just the first moment of interaction, but also requires long-term maintenance afterwards.
But obviously, Concubine Ning didn't follow him.
There is no love at first sight or mutual affection that can last forever without either party making any effort or providing any nourishment.
The reason why she and Zhu Feng are still together, and why she feels more and more sorry for him and looks up to him more and more, is because after going through so much, the two of them did not retreat, but moved forward hand in hand.
Compared to beautiful looks, prominent family background, wealthy origin, and even gentle temperament...
This is what makes people fall in love and keep loving each other.
She stretched out her hands, hugged Zhu Feng's thick shoulders, and smiled gently, "At that time... I was still young, and was being chased and beaten by them in the Si family."
Hearing these words, Zhu Feng felt his chest tremble again.
I slowly separated and saw a slight smile on his face.
He reached out and pinched Nan Yan's face: "You!"
Nan Yan held his hand and said softly, "In fact, I am very lucky to have met the emperor at this time. If it were at that time, with my ability, I would not be able to accompany the emperor."
“…”
"Your Majesty, I am luckier than Concubine Ning. I met the best person at the best time."
Having said that, Zhu Feng's eyes dimmed slightly.
And Nan Yan couldn't help but wonder, Concubine Ning, what kind of feelings does she have towards Zhu Feng?
Is it really just exploitation from beginning to end?
If this is true, then those words she said in front of him, almost shamelessly, were they meant to stimulate him, or to make her believe something so that she could persevere?
Nan Yan didn't understand.
This forgotten past is too difficult for them.
Zhu Feng held her hand with his big hand again and said, "Then, don't you blame me for not telling you the truth about King Wei?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him.
She was silent for a moment, then she spoke calmly, "At first, when I learned that the Prince of Wei's biological mother was Concubine Ning, I did feel a sense of injustice. I have always loved the Prince of Wei so much and have always supported him so much, but suddenly discovering that his mother was Concubine Ning did make me feel a little... difficult to accept."
“…”
"But, I still understand why the emperor is unwilling to speak out."
“…”
"Everyone has the right to protect their wounds from being pried into, or even torn apart, and I shouldn't force it."
“…”
"What's more, regardless of whether he is Concubine Ning or not, I still like the King of Wei and think he is a good boy."
Having said this, she raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng: "What does the emperor think?"
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned again.
Although Nan Yan was already so calm, he obviously still couldn't do it.
His throat seemed to be slightly choked. After a while, he said, "You know, I still hope you will give birth to a prince."
"emperor."
Nan Yan said frankly: "I am no longer a young girl. The emperor's age... although not too old, but I have to wait until I give birth to a prince, raise him, and then plan for his future. It will not be a short time."
“…”
"Besides, who can guarantee that the son I give birth to will be a good one?"
Zhu Feng immediately said, "I believe you."
"But I don't believe in myself."
Nan Yan said seriously, "Your Majesty, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, but not all of them become dragons; a tiger gives birth to three sons, but one of them is bound to be a tiger. No one can guarantee that the prince I give birth to will be a good one."
“…”
"Besides, the Prince of Wei's mother is the Empress, and he is the eldest son, so his position is legitimate. If he has younger brothers in the future, he will be able to control them. However, if the Emperor insists on waiting for a concubine to give birth to a prince, who will be more than ten years younger than the Prince of Wei, then when they grow up, who will be able to control whom?"
Zhu Feng frowned.
This is indeed a very realistic problem.
Just like Emperor Wen, even though he ascended the throne under the protection of Emperor Gao, he was unable to control his uncle, leading to the Jingnan Campaign...
Zhu Feng's breath became heavy.
This kind of thing must never happen to my descendants again.
Nan Yan said, "The Emperor should know very well that Prince Wei is the Crown Prince's first choice. No matter who else in the harem gives birth to a prince, they are not as suitable as him."
“…”
"What's more, he has a gentle heart and is kind and tolerant towards the people."
“…”
"Your Majesty," Nan Yan said to him seriously, "No matter how great love is, it is also small; no matter how small the country is, it is also great."
Zhu Feng was embarrassed by her words.
Indeed, when it came to the issue of Zhu Chengxuan, because he hated Qin Ruolan and hated his past experiences, he had always refused to look at this child fairly, and had never been willing to face up to his excellence and his qualifications.
Zhu Feng hugged Nan Yan tightly and suddenly said softly, "I want to change Anping's name."
"well?"
Nan Yan was stunned. They were clearly talking about King Wei, so why were they suddenly talking about changing Anping's name?
But she still instinctively asked, "What name does the emperor want to change Anping to?"
"Calm,"
Zhu Feng said, "Let her calm down."
Calm.
Peace of mind...
Nan Yan suddenly understood, buried her head in his arms, smiled softly, and said, "The emperor has the final say on this matter."
Zhu Feng also lowered his head, almost burying his face in her fragrant hair.
He said softly, "Nan Yan, you are different from them."
“…”
"In this life, I only have you."
“…”
"Don't lie to me, don't!"
Although his voice was very soft, Nan Yan felt that these words came from the deepest part of his heart, the wound that he was most reluctant to show to others.
Nan Yan said firmly: "No!"
Just as the two of them were hugging each other in the small pavilion, Ye Zheng came over from the side and was about to go in to say something to Zhu Feng, but suddenly saw their situation, immediately took two steps back, and covered his eyes.
"Ouch my eyes!"
