Chapter 3659 If you don’t say it, it will be too late
I like you...
These four words were obviously very light, falling like a feather, but they seemed to weigh more than half a thousand pounds and smashed into Nan Yan's heart.
Her heartbeat stopped at this moment.
For a moment, she lost her heartbeat and forgot to breathe. She just looked up at Zhu Feng in front of her foolishly. Although his face was pale, the faint smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and the slight flicker in his eyes made him look like he was glowing, with a gentle feeling that was integrated into his bones.
How long has it been since I felt this way?
It has been almost twenty years since he rescued her from the fire in Jiaotai Hall, and the fate of the two has been intertwined.
Twenty years is enough time for a person to completely change into another person.
This is indeed the case with the two of them, but no matter how they change, they are always within each other's reach. Even though they have changed, it seems that nothing has changed.
He is still him, and she is still her.
They are still entangled, even closer than entangled.
However, this kind of direct confession that makes people's ears blush and their hearts beat faster, in such a close distance, both of them felt that it was unnecessary to say it, and gradually they were embarrassed to say it again, so it even sounded a little strange today.
The things I have enjoyed for most of my life have become unfamiliar to me.
Nan Yan's face gradually turned red, and even faster than the blush came her violent heartbeat. She slowly raised her hand to Zhu Feng's face and gently stroked his cheek.
In fact, she had done this action countless times and was very familiar with it. However, at this moment, the face under her fingertips had become extremely thin, and the once strong lines now revealed a hint of fragility that could not be concealed in the slight chill.
Nan Yan smiled, her eyes slightly red, and muttered softly, "Your Majesty, really is such a fool! He's already this old, and he still says this."
Zhu Feng's face also turned a little red.
But, whether it was due to shyness or the uneven breathing at this time, he only coughed twice before looking at Nan Yan and said softly: "It's just this age. If you don't tell me now, it will be too late."
“…”
"Nan Yan, I have had both great fortune and great misfortune in this life. The great misfortune is being born into an imperial family and suffering for half my life; the great fortune is having you by my side. Looking back on this life, it's surprisingly sweet."
Nan Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "Since the days are sweet, shouldn't the emperor be well and have more sweet days?"
“…”
"This way, when you savor it again, it will be sweeter."
Zhu Feng's cheeks were still slightly flushed, but his lips were still pale, making him look very gentle, yet listless. Even at this moment, when he lowered his eyes and smiled, he seemed to be about to fall asleep. Nan Yan could feel his breath becoming disordered, and slowly leaned his forehead against her shoulder. After panting for a while, he whispered, "You..."
At this time, outside the big tent, Xiao Shunzi was standing at the door with a tray in his hand. On the tray was a dish of roasted meat that was shiny and fragrant, and two bowls of porridge. The porridge had more soup and less rice, and was obviously easy to eat. However, he did not report in immediately, but stood quietly at the door, listening to the movement inside.
Ying Shao stood behind and whispered, "Why haven't you sent it in yet?"
Xiao Shunzi turned around, his eyes slightly red.
Seeing him like this, Ying Shao seemed to understand something. He stood in the snow, sighed, turned and walked away.

Although the weather has become increasingly cold in recent years, this winter is indeed exceptionally cold.
Not only did the thousands of miles of ice on the northern grasslands cause great suffering to the soldiers and even His Majesty the Emperor, but even on the south bank of the Yangtze River, large areas where it should have been spring all year round were shrouded in bitterly cold weather.
Princess Xinping had long heard that Shu was a land of abundance, with good weather and a pleasant climate all year round. However, after entering Chengdu, the weather was even colder than the ice and snow in the capital. The damp and cold feeling made her shiver no matter how thickly she dressed.
The sound of wheels was still ringing in my ears.
At this moment, Xinping and her personal maid Chuyun were sitting in a carriage. The wheels rolled over the uneven icy ground, causing them to stagger from side to side. Fortunately, they were wearing thick cotton jackets, and they were not afraid of bumping into things by shrinking their necks like two lumps of meat. The tip of their noses on their pretty white faces were red, making them look pitiful and funny.
Chu Yun sniffed and whispered, "Princess——"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Xinping glared at her fiercely.
Chu Yun stuck out her tongue and immediately changed her words: "Miss, how long will it take us?"
Xinping said, "Didn't the driver tell us that after entering the city, we'll be at Liu's house in half an hour's walk?"
Chu Yun wanted to hide her little face in her clothes, and shivered as she said, "Why does this half hour take so long? If it's any later, I'll be frozen to death."
Xinping rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Look at you, you can't even bear this little bit of hardship."
As he spoke, he reached out and held her in his arms. The two girls clung so tightly together that not only did they feel warmth, but their scents also filled each other's noses. Xin Ping said, "Okay, I'll hold you. You won't be cold anymore, will you? If I had known you were so useless, I wouldn't have brought you out to see the world."
Chu Yun got anxious when she heard this: "Miss, you——"
When the two of them fled the capital, Chu Yun tried to persuade them but was unable to do so. However, she did not dare to disobey the princess's orders. After all, once the prince left the capital, no one could control her. It was no exaggeration to say that she was omnipotent in the capital. She was even more afraid that something would happen to her on the road alone, so she had no choice but to accompany her at the risk of losing her head. However, she did not expect to be ridiculed like this. Chu Yun was so angry that her eyes turned red. She said aggrievedly, "Miss, you have no conscience!"
Xinping knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly hugged her and coaxed her for a few words.
Chu Yun sniffed her red nose again, then whispered, "Miss, when you see Master Liu later, what are you going to say?"
“…”
Xinping thought silently for a while and shook his head.
Chu Yun opened his eyes wide: "Don't you know what to say to him?"
“…”
"We've been on this journey for several months, and you haven't made up your mind yet?"
“…”
"Then you should think about it quickly. We have been in the city for such a long time. It won't be long before we reach Liu's residence. If you don't think about it now, it will be too late."
Seeing Xinping remained silent, Chu Yun thought she was seriously thinking about what she was going to say to Liu Yueze later, so she muttered to herself, "No matter what, I have to take a hot bath. I haven't had a good bath in the post station these days. He's such a high-ranking official, he must have a lot of servants at home."
Xinping listened to her talk without saying a word.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
