Chapter 2379 The Emperor Doesn’t Want It!
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng seemed to sense something and immediately leaned over and asked, "What happened?"
“…”
Nan Yan gritted her teeth.
That night, she hardly slept a wink and stayed by Xinping's side the whole time.
Looking at the bruises on the back of her neck, I thought about how painful it must have been for her to fall into the icy lake. It was even more difficult to imagine how desperate she must have felt when someone grabbed her neck and pushed her into the water, unable to make a sound to cry for help no matter how she struggled.
But as her mother, I am not by her side.
Thinking of this, she felt her heart broken into pieces.
Although Zhu Feng forbad her to mention it again, she really wished she could bear such pain instead of her daughter.
She was so young...
Even though she told herself to stay calm and not act on her emotions, the soft spot in her heart seemed to be opened when she saw Zhu Feng.
Tears rolled down my face involuntarily.
When he saw her crying, Zhu Feng felt something piercing his heart.
He immediately squatted down and held her shoulders: "What's the matter? If you have anything to say, tell me!"
Xue Yun, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and his pale face looked a little dazed.
She lowered her head and retreated silently.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and struggled for a long time before she finally swallowed back the tears that were about to burst out.
She said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
"What?"
"I failed to protect Xinping. I failed to protect our daughter."
“…”
"I am not a good mother..."
As she said this, although she stubbornly refused to cry, her whole body was shaking as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Zhu Feng's brows were furrowed.
Nan Yan’s condition is definitely not as simple as Xin Ping having a fever.
He grabbed her tightly and made her sit back on the bed. Then he looked directly into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what happened."
“…”
"No matter what, I'm still here!"
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and turned her head to look again. When Xue Yun left, he had already closed the door.
Only then did she gently reach out, turn Xinping's face to the side, and lift her hair.
Zhu Feng's face darkened as he saw it.
He had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He was more familiar with such bruises than Ran Xiaoyu, and he could tell at a glance that they were marks left by human fingers.
He stared at the wound on his daughter's neck.
After a while, Shen Shen said, "Someone... strangled Xinping's neck and let her drown?"
Nan Yan nodded.
She continued, "Just now, Xue Yun told me that the murderer was determined to kill Xinping, so he would use all his strength. If a grown man strangled a child with all his strength, his cervical vertebrae would definitely break. Even if a strong grown woman did the same, her cervical vertebrae would definitely be damaged."
“…”
"But she just checked, and Xinping's cervical vertebrae are not damaged."
“…”
"so--"
Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
Although he took a breath, his face looked as if he was suffocating. His face turned ashen and his eyes turned red in an instant.
He immediately stood up, turned around and walked out.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan was startled and rushed forward, grabbing his sleeve and saying, "Your Majesty, don't do that!"
