Chapter 2773: Do your best and accept your fate
For a moment, Concubine Shun's breath was choked. Her throat was blocked and she trembled, "What happened to the emperor?"
Nan Yan's hands were burning hot, but her voice was surprisingly calm when she spoke.
It even gives people a feeling of a cold wind blowing.
She said, "The emperor was assassinated."
"What?!"
Concubine Shun was horrified and was about to rush over, but Nan Yan's hot hands grabbed her tightly. Concubine Shun was anxious and said, "Let me go, let me go and see, I want to see the emperor!"
"Sister Shunfei, please listen to me first!"
Nan Yan clasped her hand tightly, as if it were an iron clamp around her. She said in a deep voice, "Let the imperial physicians do their work first. Don't disturb them. I have something else to tell you."
“…”
Concubine Shun was about to struggle to walk over, but when she heard her words, she stopped.
Turning to look at Nan Yan.
The imperial concubine's eyes were red, and her breathing was deep and there was a faint sound like the growl of a wild beast, but her eyes and tone of voice were very calm. These two extremes were inexplicably concentrated on her, making her feel as if she was about to be torn apart.
Concubine Shun glanced at Zhu Feng on the bed again, then looked at Nan Yan.
She said with some worry: "Your Highness, do you... do you have any instructions?"
Nan Yan looked into her eyes and said to her, "The emperor was assassinated. He was stabbed in the heart. This wound is very dangerous."
Just now, from the moment she saw Zhu Feng lying on the bed with a pale face and covered in blood, Concubine Shun already understood, but when she heard him say "there was a knife in the heart" and "the wound was very serious", her heart still fell into a cold abyss.
She gasped, "How could this happen?"
“…”
"Where did the emperor go today? How did he get assassinated?"
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "The Emperor and I went to the home of the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to attend a wedding banquet. Unexpectedly, the bride's adoptive father turned out to be a long-hidden spy from the Kingdom of Neng. He had escaped the Emperor's clutches once before, but this time, he hid his identity, disguised himself, and sneaked in. He took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and stabbed the Emperor."
Concubine Shun's eyes turned red.
He hurriedly said, "How serious is this injury? Will the Emperor..."
Nan Yan interrupted her and declared coldly, as if dictating the decision: "The Emperor will be fine!"
“…”
"He will be fine."
“…”
"The Emperor grew up in such a difficult environment. Sister Shunfei, you understand better than anyone how much hardship and suffering he has endured to get to where he is today. He will definitely not fall at the hands of a sinister villain, nor will he die before completing the great cause he longs for!"
“…”
"I firmly believe this!"
Concubine Shun looked at her for a while.
Although Xinqing had been by the emperor's side since childhood and had seen him grow up, she knew very little about the inner thoughts of this child, this young man, this man. All she could do was bring him food when he was hungry, offer him a cup of tea when he was thirsty, and hold his thin arms when he was lonely, so that he wouldn't freeze in the cold night.
That's all.
But the imperial concubine was different.
Although she seemed to be an insignificant little woman on the surface, and was even bullied when she first came to the emperor's side, she was the one who understood Zhu Feng best, knew what he was thinking best, and was the one who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Looking at the entire harem, no one, not even Qin Ruolan who is still in the cold palace, can say these words like Si Nanyan.
Xinqing nodded gently: "I understand."
At this moment, Wang Baizhi turned around from the bedside and walked over, bowing to them both: "Your Highness the Imperial Concubine, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "How is the emperor?"
Concubine Shun also looked at him anxiously, then looked over his shoulder at the pale figure on the bed. She didn't even bother to listen to what he said and walked straight over.
Zhu Feng lay on the bed, still silent.
The chest was bandaged with thick bandages, but a shallow red stain of blood could still be seen on the heart.
Xiao Shunzi and the others had cut his clothes with scissors and wiped his body with warm water, finally wiping off the bloodstains all over his body and the dried blood on his face. His face looked even paler and bloodless.
A thin blanket covered her chest.
I could hardly feel the rise and fall of the thin blanket.
Concubine Shun felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes.
Nan Yan also walked over and looked down at Zhu Feng, but this time, she did not let herself look embarrassed and ferocious. She just clenched one hand into a fist and let her nails dig deep into the palm of her hand. The stinging pain resisted the sourness and weakness in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and said, "How is the emperor?"
Wang Baizhi hesitated for a long time and said softly, "The emperor... this knife hit his heart meridian, and he lost too much blood..."
When Concubine Shun heard this, her face turned pale with fear and she turned to look at him: "The Emperor—?"
Wang Baizhi hurriedly said, "We have already used medicine to protect the emperor's heart."
After saying this, he lowered his head again and said slowly: "But, but whether you can survive it depends on - Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, it is destiny, and God will definitely protect you."
“…”
Nan Yan remained silent.
She also understood what Wang Baizhi said.
Do your best and accept your fate.
She had witnessed the knife piercing Zhu Feng's heart, and she knew exactly how dangerous it was. The imperial physician could only try to provide the necessary medicine, but the rest, fighting against the devil, might depend on him.
Rely on yourself!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan leaned down and stared at Zhu Feng's pale face.
His eyelashes were motionless, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
Nan Yan's hot breath blew on his face, but could not wake him up at all.
Nan Yan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty has come this far, having gone through countless hardships and dangers. This hurdle...is just a small one. I believe that Your Majesty will be able to get through it."
“…”
The person on the bed didn't respond.
Nan Yan continued, "As for me, I will do what I should do."
After saying this, she stood up, walked to the side of Concubine Shun, and said softly: "Sister Concubine Shun, I called you here because I have something to entrust to you."
Concubine Shun looked at her and saw that her eyes were cold, and she vaguely felt something.
She whispered, "Please speak, Madam."
Nan Yan glanced back again, then said, "For the next few days, no matter what happens, day or night, I ask you to stay by the emperor's side at all times, never leaving his side, and never even look away."
