Chapter 2905 He is jealous of his own children
"emperor……"
After saying these two words, Qin Ruolan could no longer speak. She just stood at the door blankly, looking at the man in front of her who she had not seen for several years but had never forgotten.
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Although he was very calm on the way here, he was still very calm even now.
But at that moment, the heaviness in his heart could not be concealed.
He even had difficulty breathing.
But after taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Let me come in and sit down."
“…”
Qin Ruolan shuddered again, as if she had just come to her senses. She quickly turned sideways, and Zhu Feng walked in front of her. But Qin Ruolan did not follow him immediately, but turned her head and looked outside in a panic.
In the cold palace, it was dark and silent, just like every night she knew.
There was only a Jade Eunuch standing in the distance, holding a lantern in his hand, but he did not come closer.
Qin Ruolan took a deep breath, closed the door, and walked in.
The room was just like the outside, simple but clean. There was a curtain hanging on the bed and the thin quilt was a little messy. It was obvious that she had just fallen asleep and was woken up by the noise outside.
However, this is the cold palace after all.
Besides being simple and clean, there wasn't much furniture. Apart from a shabby wardrobe for storing some household items, there was only a table and two chairs in the middle of the room.
On the table, there was a teapot and a cup with a broken mouth.
Zhu Feng walked over and sat down at the table.
If the emperor visited someone else's palace, he would definitely serve tea immediately. But Qin Ruolan had been with him for so many years, and the two of them had shared joys and sorrows. She might not be the person who knew Zhu Feng best, but she had understood him.
She didn't do that.
He simply took the candlestick in his hand, placed it in the middle of the table, and then sat down opposite Zhu Feng.
Her eyes seemed to be glued to him, and she kept looking at his face until she noticed that Zhu Feng's face was a little pale. Then she seemed to remember something and looked down at Zhu Feng's chest.
Zhu Feng seemed to have noticed her gaze as well.
Said: "You know?"
Qin Ruolan asked, "Does it still hurt?"
“…”
Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
She really knew.
He said, "Who told you that, that nun just now?"
“…”
"Are you still asking about what's going on outside?"
Qin Ruolan said, "I didn't ask about other things. I knew I was already in the cold palace, so I shouldn't ask about what was happening outside. But, such a big thing happened a while ago, and Nanny Su was worried that the cold palace would be affected. She came to tell me to be careful not to be harmed by those villains who sneaked into the harem. After asking carefully, I found out that the emperor--"
Having said that, she looked up at Zhu Feng again.
"Your Majesty, does it still hurt?"
“…”
"Is this injury healed now?"
Zhu Feng glanced down at his chest, thought for a moment, and then said, "It cracked again before, because Xinqing passed away. I was devastated, but fortunately, the people in the Imperial Hospital handled it properly. Xuan'er... he secretly prepared some medicine and asked Xiao Shunzi to mix it with the medicine prepared for me by the Imperial Hospital. I used it, and it worked very well."
Qin Ruolan looked at him in surprise.
You know, Zhu Feng has always hated Zhu Chengxuan. Not only does he hate him as a person, but he also hates the fact that he studies medicine.
But this time, he actually called Zhu Chengxuan "Xuan'er", which was almost a nickname of affection she had not heard since she gave birth to Zhu Chengxuan. Moreover, Zhu Feng was not angry at all about Zhu Chengxuan going to prepare medicine.
She murmured in surprise: "Your Majesty...?"
Zhu Feng also knew what she was surprised about.
He knew everything about Zhu Chengxuan's medicine preparation. No matter how brave Xiao Shunzi was, he wouldn't dare to hide such a thing from him. Of course, if he knew that this kid was doing those things again, he would definitely be angry.
But this time, he didn't.
The knife that Jie Shi stabbed him with left him seriously injured and on the verge of death, but it also seemed that the wound softened his heart, which had been as hard as stone.
He was no longer paranoid and angry.
From these little things, you can feel the child's filial piety and cautiousness over the years.
It seems that his resentment towards Emperor Gao over the years has unintentionally turned him into another "Emperor Gao".
He took all the grievances he had suffered out on the child.
Therefore, even though he knew clearly that this child's personality was most suitable for becoming the emperor after him and becoming a benevolent ruler who could appease the people with benevolent policies, he still regretted it again and again.
He would rather choose Zhu Chengjun, who is only a year old and whose potential to become a useful person is uncertain, than choose Zhu Chengxuan, who is right in front of him and has already become a successful person.
Ultimately, it's the jealousy in my heart.
He was secretly jealous of the child.
Because back then, I only had Qin Ruolan who was plotting against me from beginning to end, but now Zhu Chengxuan has the sincere and gentle Gu Qiqing by his side.
And there is Si Nanyan.
Although the throne does not belong to Zhu Chengjun, after so many arrangements, Si Nanyan is still willing to give up the selfishness that is inherent in human nature and choose to give Zhu Chengxuan fairness.
But I never got this kind of fairness back then.
But now, after this assassination attempt that almost brought him to death, he finally chose to calm down. Perhaps he also wanted to give others some fairness.
Just because you don’t have it doesn’t mean you should deprive yourself of it.
Precisely because we have not been treated fairly and have suffered such injustice, we should eliminate such injustice and prevent more people from suffering such injustice.
Zhu Feng slowly raised his eyes in the flickering candlelight, looked at Qin Ruolan, and said, "Don't be surprised."
“…”
"I will no longer be so harsh on Xuan'er. He is a good boy. I have made him suffer a lot over the years."
“…”
"I came here to thank you."
“…”
"No matter what happened in the past, whether I was willing or not, you finally gave me a good son."
Qin Ruolan stared at him blankly.
While I was excited, I also felt a little surprised.
Why would Zhu Feng suddenly say this to me on such a night?
Is it just because he was injured?
Facing Qin Ruolan's puzzled gaze, Zhu Feng's expression remained calm. He said, "Although this injury is nothing now, I know that if the heart meridian is injured, it will not last long."
“…”
"I am the ruler of a country. I must consider my future and the interests of the entire Great Yan Dynasty."
“…”
"Therefore, I have decided to appoint Xuan'er as the Crown Prince. Tomorrow, I will officially announce the decree."
