Chapter 1764 You yourself have never forgotten it!
Zhu Feng's hand holding her moved slightly.
The expression on his face froze for a moment.
But Nan Yan didn't notice the subtle change in the mood of the person next to her at all, and continued, "He is her lover."
"Aren't lovers supposed to warm each other and support each other as we go along?"
“…”
"I originally thought he was the person closest to me. In fact, he was just my closest bedmate, my husband who was always by my side. He was the one who should protect me."
“…”
"He hurt her like that."
Zhu Feng had been silent the entire time, but when he finally spoke, his tone was so cold that it seemed to suppress the warmth in the room. "What do you want to say?"
Nan Yan was stunned by his cold tone.
When I turned around, I saw a frosty look on Zhu Feng's face.
"emperor……"
"You mean to say that Jiang Qu failed to protect his wife and even hurt her with his own hands."
“…”
"You empathize with Chu Xin, so I am the same as Jiang Qu, right?"
“…”
"Not only did I fail to protect you, I also—hurt you."
“…”
"is that so?"
Nan Yan didn't expect him to say that. She was stunned for a moment and stared at him blankly: "Your Majesty, I——"
Zhu Feng looked at her and said, "You haven't forgotten that incident, right?"
“…”
"No matter what I say, you still haven't forgotten that time when you had a miscarriage and lost our child, right?"
“…”
"You think that it was because I failed to protect you that the tragedy happened."
It was only at this moment that Nan Yan came back to her senses. Looking at Zhu Feng's slightly red eyes and listening to his voice that seemed low but unconsciously trembling, her throat choked and she said, "I, I have forgotten it a long time ago."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "If you had forgotten, you wouldn't keep mentioning this matter."
“…”
"If you forget, you won't be able to empathize with that original intention so much."
“…”
"You can empathize with her because you still remember what happened and the hurt you suffered."
“…”
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan's face turned cold.
She said, "If Your Majesty insists on saying so, I have nothing to say."
“…”
"It's late, I want to go to bed."
After saying that, he turned around, lay down facing inside, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.
Zhu Feng looked at her back, gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while, then lay down.
However, when he was about to pull up the quilt, he found that Nan Yan had already wrapped up most of the quilt and left, and the quilt on his side could not cover his body at all.
So he just lay halfway like this, lying on his side with his back facing her.
Although the two people slept in the same bed and were covered with the same quilt, there was a distance between them that was as wide as a person.
No words were spoken that night.
Early the next morning.
Nan Yan woke up before dawn.
She poked her head out from under the quilt and saw that it was still dark outside the window, but it was already past the hour of Mao. If she wanted to reach Bailong City earlier, she had to get up early.
But when I turned around, I found that there was no one around me.
Zhu Feng has disappeared.
Even when I reached out and touched the place where he was lying, it was icy cold. He must have been gone for a long time, so there was no body temperature left.
Somehow, looking at the empty side of the bed, Nan Yan's heart also felt a little empty.
last night……
Last night, the two of them did have a not-so-pleasant night.
She also didn't expect that her sympathy for Chu Xin would actually annoy Zhu Feng, making him think that she was still brooding over the time when she lost her child and was neglected by him.
He said that he had never forgotten what happened in the past, so he could empathize with the past when his original intentions were hurt.
actually--
The reason you care and think about what happened in the past is because you have never forgotten it!
Nan Yan was lying on the bed, feeling the coldness of the bed on the other side. She couldn't help but feel a chill running through her bones. Even though the room was so warm and the quilt was thick, she actually shivered.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu's voice sounded outside the door——
"Mother?"
Nan Yan coughed lightly to make her voice less hoarse, and said, "Hmm?"
"Your Majesty has woken up? That servant is coming in."
"Come in."
When Nan Yan got up from the bed, she saw Ran Xiaoyu walking in with a basin of hot water, a towel and Qingyan. While helping her wash up, Ran Xiaoyu glanced at the bed again.
She whispered, "The Emperor left in the middle of the night."
"oh?"
Nan Yan paused as she washed her face with water: "Midnight?"
"Yes, when I was packing my things, I heard footsteps outside. I got up and saw him leaving."
"So what do you think of his mood?"
"It doesn't look good."
“…”
"I noticed that the Emperor's face wasn't looking good again. He even stood in the courtyard for a while in the cold wind before leaving."
“…”
"My Lady, were you arguing with the Emperor?"
As for other concubines in the palace, no one dared to argue with the emperor. Not to mention bickering, even the slightest disobedience was unacceptable. Zhu Feng was not a gentle person, and no one dared to act rashly in front of him.
Only southern smoke.
Not only did she often bicker with him, but the two of them even had a quarrel.
There have also been cold wars, disputes, and even... hatred.
All of this seemed to be a privilege unique to Nan Yan, but judging from Zhu Feng's expression last night, Ran Xiaoyu was a little worried whether she would always have this privilege.
Seeing her worried look, Nan Yan also smiled bitterly.
But he didn't say anything, just continued to bury his head to wash his face, and said sullenly: "Don't ask, get ready early, let's set off early."
"……yes."
Soon, Nan Yan finished washing up, and the kitchen had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Although she had no appetite because of what happened last night, she still forced herself to eat half a bowl of porridge and broke off half a steamed bun for today's long journey.
After eating, I heard Fulai report that the convoy outside was ready.
Nan Yan put on her thick fox fur coat and when she walked out, she saw a team of guards standing at the door, protecting her carriage. There was also a small cart behind it, carrying her luggage and other supplies.
Ying Shao walked up to her and bowed.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, this group of people are the elite among the imperial guards specially selected by this humble minister."
Then he whispered, "There's more."
“…”
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Nan Yan smiled and nodded.
However, her smile did not reflect complete joy and relief, especially when she saw that Zhu Feng was not among the crowd that came to see her off.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Where is the emperor?"
