Chapter 2612 Already Arranged
At this moment, Ying Shao's voice sounded outside the door——
"emperor."
When Nan Yan heard his voice, she was suddenly startled. Ying Shao was the one sent by Zhu Feng to Monk's camp to support Monk in the battle. Now that he is back, it seems that the group of troops have also returned.
Nan Yan moved a little and wanted to prop herself up to see, but she didn't realize that her "movement" was just a small twist in the quilt, and the quilt didn't even move.
Zhu Feng reached out and patted the corner of the quilt, saying softly, "Go to sleep."
He got up and walked over to open the door.
Nan Yan lay in bed, her burning eyelids barely open. She could only vaguely see Zhu Feng's back and Ying Shao standing outside, bowing to Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng simply raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."
Then Ying Shao stood up and started talking to him.
What are they talking about?
Because they were too far away, and probably knowing that the imperial concubine was ill, Ying Shao lowered his voice. Nan Yan tried her best to hear clearly, but she could only vaguely hear the words "Monk", "wounded soldiers", and "epidemic".
The wounded...
Epidemic...
She mumbled to herself in a daze, her breathing rising and falling, making no sound at all. Her mind was a blur from the low-grade fever, and she was still struggling to think: What disease? What disease is this among the wounded?
After a while, Ying Shao at the door finished his report, bowed, turned around and left.
Zhu Feng walked back to the bed.
He looked down at Nan Yan, whose face was flushed red with fever and whose eyes were squinted, trying to look at him but seemed unable to see him clearly. He said softly, "What are you still doing?"
“…”
"Go to sleep now."
After saying that, he reached out and touched her sweaty face.
Nan Yan's eyes flickered, and she finally closed her eyes, falling into chaos.
She slept for two whole days.
She woke up several times during that period, and Zhu Feng always held her up and fed her soup and medicine. She was well-behaved. Although she was delirious due to fever, she never had trouble eating and never spilled a drop of soup. Only when she drank medicine, if it was too bitter, she would close her mouth tightly and refuse to let him feed her.
I don't know how I got her to eat it in the end.
Anyway, by the third day, the torturous fever finally subsided.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the doctors who had their heads hanging on their belts seemed to have returned from the gates of hell. They were so excited that they couldn't wait to cheer and run around to tell others.
People from the Duwei Mansion came in waves to kowtow to the Imperial Concubine. Nan Yan, still a little disheveled, sat leaning against the head of the bed. Seeing so many people outside, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it all."
So Ruoshui went to the door and asked them to leave.
Nan Yan said angrily, "I haven't even washed my face or combed my hair. It's so embarrassing for people to see me like this."
Ruoshui laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. For the past two days, Your Majesty has been ill and unable to get up. The people in the palace didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear of upsetting the Emperor. Now that Your Majesty is well, they are naturally relieved. They think their life has been saved."
Nan Yan smiled and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Ruoshui said, "He was still guarding the Empress when she got up early, but then Lord Chen had something to do, so the Emperor went to the meeting room."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems like—it seems like something big has happened."
"What's the big deal?"
"This, I don't know."
Nan Yan frowned slightly. If it was really a big deal, why was the Duwei Mansion so quiet? The people below were only concerned with kowtowing to her and paying their respects.
I think it shouldn’t be a big deal for them.
She thought for a moment and said, "Prepare some hot water first. I want to take a bath and wash off this bad luck."
"yes."
Although she hadn't eaten well in the past few days and still felt a little weak when she got up, her body was really sweaty and smelly. She gritted her teeth and washed herself. When she returned to the room, Zhu Feng had also arrived.
Seeing her like this, he immediately said, "What nonsense! You should at least eat something before taking a bath. What if you faint?"
Then he pointed at Ruoshui and the others and said, "What are you doing?"
Everyone knelt down in fear.
Nan Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty, don't blame them. It was I who asked them to do this. I've been lying down for the past few days and my body stinks."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Although Zhu Feng was angry, he was happy to see that she was getting better and even her eyes were bright. After scolding them for a few words, he didn't say anything else and just asked the kitchen to send lunch over quickly.
Finally seeing some meat, Nan Yan ate so hard that tears streamed down her face.
Zhu Feng stood by, watching her wolf down her food. While picking up some food for her, he said, "Eat slowly. You've been hungry for a few days. Eating too much will hurt your stomach."
Nan Yan gulped down a bowl of rice and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Touching the belly: "Comfortable!"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Drink some more soup."
As he spoke, he personally poured her half a bowl of soup. Nan Yan took it and sipped gently from the edge of the bowl. Then she remembered something and asked, "The emperor just went to the meeting hall. Did something big happen again?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "It's not a big deal."
"oh."
"Monk has withdrawn his troops."
"ah?!"
Nan Yan originally believed what he said was not a big deal, but when she heard that Monk had withdrawn his troops, she was so frightened that she almost spilled the soup in her bowl.
She stared at Zhu Feng with wide eyes: "How could it be?!"
Zhu Feng said, "We can't win, and the losses are heavy. Why don't we retreat?"
“…”
Nan Yan was still a little dazed.
But immediately, she remembered that when she was sick and drowsy, she seemed to hear Ying Shao coming to report and talk about what happened in Monk's camp.
It seems to have mentioned - wounded soldiers, and also, epidemics!
She immediately asked, "Is it because of the epidemic?"
Zhu Feng looked at her again.
Nan Yan said, "That day, when Lord Ying came to report, I heard it in a daze."
Zhu Feng's mouth curled up slightly.
Nan Yanlian's breath was lifted as she whispered, "Is it really an epidemic?"
Zhu Feng said: "What else?"
Nan Yan put the bowl back on the table and thought for a long time in a daze. Then she turned to look at Zhu Feng. He had been taking care of her eating and drinking and had not had time to eat himself. It was only at this time that Zhu Feng started to eat.
Nan Yan looked at it for a while and said softly, "Epidemic?"
“…”
"Even if there were epidemics after a war or disaster, they shouldn't have appeared in such a short time."
“…”
"It's only been a few days since the war ended."
Zhu Feng lowered his head and said while eating, "When it's time to show up, it will show up naturally."
“…”
Nan Yan turned and looked at him.
After a long while, he said softly: "This is what the emperor said before, that he had already arranged it, right?"
