Chapter 1603 How long can I stay with you?
His heart also ached.
He reached out and held her in his arms.
"Nan Yan..."
Although I have already told myself that everything is over and that nothing can be undone if I continue to dwell on the pain, pain is still pain.
It is a place where even the slightest touch can cause heartache.
What's more, she has two.
Nan Yan leaned in Zhu Feng's arms, tears unconsciously wet her face.
It also wet his chest.
Zhu Feng didn't say anything else, he just hugged her, holding her in his arms with gentle but unquestionable strength, as if to shield her from all the pain.
It was unknown how long it took before Nan Yan finally swallowed her bitter tears.
She slowly raised her head: "Your Majesty."
"Better?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, his expression still gentle. He reached out his hand and wiped away the tears on her face with his rough fingers, saying, "I will stay with you."
“…”
"It doesn't matter if it hurts or if it's regretful."
“…”
"But after we've grieved and repented, we still have tomorrow and a future ahead of us."
“…”
Nan Yan was still sobbing slightly, but she also understood what Zhu Feng said.
He is a very sober person.
Or perhaps, he is a person who has suffered countless pains, so he is so clear-headed.
He would also feel pain, but after the pain, he would never indulge in it. Instead, he would immediately get out of the pain and seek victory for the next time. It was precisely because of this kind of mentality that he could stand firm in such a difficult battlefield.
And Nan Yan...
She is not completely immersed in the painful memories of the past.
Especially after hearing Zhu Feng's words, her brows furrowed slightly.
And tomorrow...
And in the future...
Zhu Feng's words seemed to imply that his action was for her tomorrow and her future.
Raising children to provide for old age...
Nan Yan suddenly raised her head: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said, "This time, I will not be traveling with the King of Wei."
“…”
"I want him to stay."
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and continued, "I have already ordered him to enter the cabinet."
“…”
"During this period of time since I left the capital, he will be handling all government affairs together with He Yi, your uncle, and several other cabinet ministers."
“…”
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Zhu Feng's move was to allow King Wei to truly participate in the handling of state affairs.
Although the King of Wei had been the regent several times before when he left the capital, in reality, the people who really handled the government affairs were the left and right prime ministers of the Secretariat, and Zhu Chengxuan was only in the name of regent.
But this time, he wanted to actually participate.
In other words—
Zhu Feng had already decided to enthrone the King of Wei as the Crown Prince and had begun to take action.
Perhaps it was Feng Qianyan's experience of seeking favor, becoming pregnant, and plotting against Nan Yan, coupled with some of Si Muzhen's actions, that finally made him make up his mind.
The sooner the crown prince is appointed, the less danger there will be.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "That's just right."
This is actually what she has always accepted.
Although as a noble concubine, she had a great chance of giving birth to a prince, and Zhu Feng even hoped to hand over the country to their child, but after experiencing it once and again, she no longer forced it.
This time, Zhu Feng said this, and it was obvious that he would not force it.
Some things are probably really destined.
However, even if he didn't force it, he couldn't help but make plans for her——
"So, you should have a son."
Zhu Feng held her in his arms, gently stroking her long hair with one hand, and whispered, "Having a son by my side is the best."
“…”
"No matter how old I am with you, you will always have someone to rely on."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan frowned.
She looked up at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty..."
Why do you say this?
Even if he is much older than me, he is only ten years older. Moreover, he is strong and energetic. Even if he cannot live to be "10,000 years old" like the ministers, I am afraid he may live to be 9100 years old.
And I may not even live to be seventy or eighty years old.
Nan Yan frowned and asked, "Why does the emperor say this?"
"hehe,"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I don't know either."
“…”
"It's just that too many things have happened recently, and I can't help but start thinking about my afterlife."
“…”
"In fact, as long as I close my eyes, I don't care if the flood is raging."
When he said this, there was a chill in his eyes and tone. Indeed, for someone like him, a glorious life was enough. Who cares about what happens after death? He never cared.
"only--"
Having said that, his tone softened again.
"I can't just ignore you."
“…”
Nan Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.
She stood up from his arms, held his face in her hands, and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you think it's dangerous to go to Guanxi this time?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then smiled.
Said: "What danger can there be?"
“…”
"I have been walking on the edge of a knife for so many years, so I am not afraid of any danger."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan didn't say anything, but her heart beat even harder.
Zhu Feng reached out, held her hands that were holding his face, brought them to his lips and kissed them gently, then said: "This time I can let you follow me, there will be no danger."
“…”
"At least, you won't have."
After saying that, he took her into his arms again.
Nan Yan leaned in his arms, quiet for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said softly, "By the way, Your Majesty, will Your Majesty bring any military officers with you on this tour of the Seven Guards of Guanxi?"
Zhu Feng lowered his head: "Hmm?"
Nan Yan also looked up, her eyes wide open as she stared at him. "I met General Xu the other day when I left the cabinet. We talked about the Emperor's tour of the Seven Guards of Guanxi. Your Majesty, will he accompany you?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Then he said, “No.”
"ah?"
"He will stay in the capital to protect the safety of the capital."
"Then, the rest—"
"There are no other generals accompanying him."
"ah?!"
Nan Yan was shocked. She looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes and asked in astonishment, "Your Majesty, are you not taking any military officers with you on this trip? What if there's danger?"
Zhu Feng frowned and looked at her: "What should I do?"
“…”
Originally, the warm atmosphere just now softened Zhu Feng's heart, but when he heard her say this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and reached out to twist her face.
"I'm here, what do you want to do?"
"Well--"
"In every place, there is one person who knows how to fight, that's enough!"
