Chapter 1982 She Hid Many Things from the Emperor
Nan Yan and Zhu Feng left the Duke's courtyard and were not in a hurry to go back.
Instead, he strolled slowly along the path under the moonlight.
After the arrival of spring, the northwest is no longer cold. Not only has the snow on the wasteland melted, but one can even faintly see new green shrubs emerging in some places.
In Shazhouwei, various trees, flowers and plants began to sprout.
The moonlight shines on these vibrant plants. Although it is not as beautiful as the spring in Beijing or the south of the Yangtze River, it gives people a feeling of special cherishment.
The more desolate the place, the harder it is to find such spring scenery.
After the two walked for a while, Nan Yan felt a big hand holding her hand. She turned around and saw Zhu Feng holding her hand and walking slowly forward.
Don't speak.
She didn't speak either.
In fact, sometimes, when two people are together, they don’t necessarily need words to communicate. For example, at this time, just a little warmth in his palm can make her feel more at ease and gentle than any words, even a hug.
The two walked for a while, and Zhu Feng said, "We're leaving in two days. Are you really okay?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been with me for most of the day."
"……Um."
"Has Your Majesty ever seen me vomit?"
"Not really."
"That's it. In a while, I will be five months pregnant. Xue Yun said that this is the time when the fetus is relatively stable. If you don't want to stay in Shazhouwei to give birth, it's best to leave during this month."
Nan Yan said, turned her head to look at him, and said: "I still want to go back and give birth."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment and didn't look at her.
He just looked at the moonlit scenery in front of him and said, "I actually hope you'll be born here."
"here?"
Nan Yan was stunned: "Why?"
Zhu Feng said, "When I go back to the palace, I always feel stingy."
“…”
"The scenery in the northwest is still the best. The vastness of the sky and earth broadens people's minds a lot."
Nan Yan just found it funny when she heard what he said.
Said: "What did the emperor say?"
“…”
"The Emperor had the capital city expanded, and the Imperial Palace was also expanded from Prince Yan's Mansion. With such a large place, the Emperor actually called it stingy?"
Zhu Feng sighed and said, "If you usually just sit in the palace, you'd naturally think the nine-story and three-hall complex is huge. But when you look at the scenery here, do you still think those palaces are that big?"
“…”
After hearing what he said, Nan Yan fell silent.
indeed.
After seeing the vastness of the world, no matter how big a palace is, it is just a small house in the universe to humans.
She still smiled and said, "The Emperor asked for too much."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then lowered his head to look at her.
Also looked at her belly.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I hope he can see more of the scenery and have a more open mind."
“…”
"I hope he is different from others."
“…”
"Only such a broad-minded person can inherit my—"
"emperor,"
Before he could finish his words, Nan Yan interrupted him. Looking into Zhu Feng's deep eyes under the moonlight, she smiled and said, "Whatever the emperor wants, wait until the child is born."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her, and in the end, just smiled faintly.
He reached out and took her into his arms.

The news that the Duke was seriously ill quickly spread throughout the Duwei Mansion.
The next day in the west wing, Xue Yun frowned slightly when he heard the news. He then looked at Xue Ling and asked, "How did you know about this?"
Xue Ling said, "A lot of people are talking about it outside."
“…”
"I went to the camp to deliver food to Santing, and even their people were discussing it."
"What disease does he have?"
"What's wrong? No one knows. I heard that this Duke is very old and is so afraid of illness that he refuses to be examined. I just heard that he vomits every day and is unrecognizable."
"Vomiting...every day?"
"Yes, don't you think it's strange? A while ago, the imperial concubine had severe morning sickness and was in a state of turmoil. Now that she has just recovered a little, Duke Cheng has started vomiting again."
Speaking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Xue Ling's big eyes.
Said: "I always feel that there is something wrong."
Xue Yun was originally thinking about something, but when he heard her say that, he immediately laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What could be the problem?"
"Well--"
"Could the Imperial Concubine's morning sickness be the same as Duke Cheng's illness?"
"That's true."
Xue Ling also smiled.
Xue Yun thought for a while and then asked, "Speaking of which, what kind of person is this Duke Cheng? You've been in Shazhouwei for quite some time, do you know him?"
"Me? I don't know."
Xue Ling thought for a moment and said, "I just heard from San Ting that during the previous attack on Hot Moon Bay, Duke Cheng's son was somehow sent to a very dangerous road and was seriously injured. He is now in a coma. I heard that he may never wake up in this lifetime."
"real?"
"Yes, I vaguely heard someone say that it was arranged by the emperor."
“…”
"However, I also heard that it was Duke Cheng's son who went to ask for battle himself. The matter here is too complicated, and it is difficult for us mortal eyes to understand it. But I am sure that this is a pool of muddy water."
Xue Yun thought for a while and said, "Then, is there any connection between Duke Cheng and the Imperial Concubine?"
"them?"
Xue Ling bit his lower lip and thought for a long time before saying, "They probably have nothing to do with each other."
“…”
"I just heard that the Duke's daughter was once a favorite concubine in the palace."
"Yes...?"
"Of course she was," Xue Ling smiled, "Look at the situation now, and you'll know who the favorite concubine is."
“…”
Xue Yun was silent for a moment and then smiled to himself.
She seemed to have a feeling and sighed, "Not everyone can be a favorite concubine."
“…”
"On the surface, you may seem to be enjoying wealth and glory, and be loved by everyone, but behind the scenes, you are in constant danger. You never know when you might be secretly harmed."
Xue Ling said, "In this world, who's path can truly be smooth?"
“…”
"Being a favorite concubine is naturally more different than ordinary people."
"Noble Concubine Si is truly not an ordinary person."
“…”
"But I don't quite understand why she...she wanted to hide it from the Emperor."
"What did you say? What are you hiding from the Emperor?"
Xue Yun suddenly came to his senses and remembered that he had promised Nan Yan that he would never tell anyone about this matter. He quickly waved his hand to cover it up and said, "No, it's nothing."
Looking at her, Xue Ling thought about it again and didn't ask any more questions.
He only said: "In fact, the Imperial Concubine and His Majesty the Emperor may not be of the same mind."
When Xue Yun heard this, he was immediately surprised: "What did you say?"
"I say, the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor may not be of the same mind."
“…”
"She has hidden quite a few things from the Emperor."
