Chapter 2297 A Named Fire
The two of them are already an "old married couple", what else does Nan Yan not understand?
Suddenly, her face, which was originally flushed due to the low fever, was covered with a blush again, but this blush was different from the previous one. It made her look not weak, but rather a little cute.
What wrinkles, what spots...
The truly attractive thing about women is not what they think, but she doesn't understand.
At this moment, the fire of ignorance and karma on his body had long disappeared without a trace.
But there was a ball of karmic fire with a name, burning.
It spread rapidly and was about to swallow him whole, but fortunately, reason pulled him back.
Nan Yan is still in confinement after giving birth.
She couldn't and couldn't bear what she wanted.
It seems a bit dangerous for me to do this.
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng took a deep breath, then stretched out his hand and lifted Nan Yan's slender body from his arms.
Nan Yan was obedient, like a cat nestled in someone's palm, and was firmly stuffed back into the quilt by a pair of strong hands.
She opened her eyes wide, still filled with tears.
"emperor……"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but sat on the edge of the bed and turned his head away from her.
Heavy breathing sounded in the silent bedroom. Although it was just the sound of breathing, it gave people the illusion of a howling wind, as if the roof would be blown off by the surging power in his body in the next moment.
After a long time, his heartbeat and breathing finally calmed down a little.
Then he turned back to look at her.
Nan Yan's face was still a little red, but because she was weak, she couldn't move.
He only whispered: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "Rest now, and don't let your thoughts wander."
“…”
"I'm going back."
Although she felt a little reluctant, Nan Yan also understood at that moment that she might have walked on the brink of life and death. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Then, where is the emperor going?"
Zhu Feng snorted coldly and said to her, "I won't go to Xue Yun's place."
“…”
Nan Yan's face flushed red almost to the tips of her ears.
Seeing Zhu Feng getting up and about to leave, she thought for a moment and then said softly, "Your Majesty—"
"Um?"
Zhu Feng was puzzled why she still called him, and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and said softly, "How about the emperor go to Huipin's place to see her?"
“…”
"Didn't we talk about this before?"
“…”
"This time, for the late Queen's funeral, both I and Concubine Shun were ill. Thank you for your hard work."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
That look seemed very complicated. After a long while, he turned around and walked back to the bed. He gently stroked Nan Yan's head with his warm big hand, then turned around and walked out.
As soon as I left the bedroom, I felt a chill and all the heat in my body disappeared.
It was freezing outside, like an ice cellar.
It's completely two different worlds compared to the one around her.
Zhu Feng stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then took two steps forward. But after just two steps, he stopped again and looked back at the closed door of the bedroom.
At this time, Eunuch Yu had already arrived to serve.
He was standing outside the door, and as soon as he saw Zhu Feng come out, he immediately went forward and followed behind the emperor.
He spoke even less than Xiao Shunzi, and when he shouldn't be talking, you couldn't even hear his breathing. At this moment, he just stood there quietly.
Zhu Feng was silent for a long while, as if talking to himself, or as if speaking to him: "Sometimes, I want her to be my queen."
“…”
"Sometimes, I'm reluctant to let her be the queen."
“…”
His words were contradictory, and Eunuch Yu, who was standing beside him, shrank his neck and clasped his hands. He only laughed when he heard what he said, and said, "Which woman in the world doesn't want to be the queen? Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying. I don't understand."
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at him.
He didn't say anything, just let out a sigh and turned away.
And Eunuch Yu, with his cloudy eyes showing a calmness that showed that he had seen everything, yet remained calm, just laughed and followed.

Early in the morning, Nan Yan got up early, opened the window, and saw snow flying all over the sky outside. The cold wind blew the snow foam onto her face.
She took a deep breath.
Then she saw Ran Xiaoyu and Aunt Tongyun, both of them carrying hot water and towels, coming over from outside. When they saw her standing by the window, they immediately came in and said, "The Queen is standing by the window again, enjoying the breeze!"
“You’ll get sick!”
"After finally feeling better, I lost my composure."
Nan Yan's ears were callused from listening to their nagging these past few days. She could only obediently close the window again. Ran Xiaoyu said angrily, "The Queen just wants the Emperor to beat us servants."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't wrongly accuse me."
Speaking of spanking, she thought of Nianqiu and asked, "Is Nianqiu still not well?"
Aunt Tongyun adjusted the water temperature to the right level, brought the copper basin over, and said, "Those twenty boards were very strong. Her skin was broken. She can't move for the time being."
Nan Yan sighed and said, "Wang Baizhi will come to check Ping An's pulse later. Remember to ask him for some medicine for ulcers."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu came over again, holding a towel and some green salt, and said, "Hurry up, Your Majesty. Today is the last day to go to the Jiyan Hall to kowtow and pay respects to the late Empress. Later, the late Empress's coffin will be sent to the Grand Altar for placement."
Nan Yan nodded and quickly washed up.
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly helped her sit in front of the dressing table to put on her makeup. Aunt Tongyun was busy preparing today's dress and making the bed. Everyone was busy and having fun.
Nan Yan glanced at them and said, "Nian Qiu can't move, so you'll have to work hard."
Aunt Tongyun turned around and said with a smile: "How can you say that? If we servants don't have a hard time, do you think Your Majesty should have to suffer?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Didn't the emperor say the other day that he wanted to select one or two more reliable people to come to our side? After all, Nianqiu has been injured and can't move recently, so one or two more people would be great."
Nan Yan said: "How can it be that easy."
“…”
"The Emperor said he wanted to select someone, but how could an ordinary person catch his eye?"
Aunt Tongyun and Ran Xiaoyu looked at each other and said nothing.
Obviously, the emperor already knew about Nian Qiu's affairs, so he didn't ask anyone else and only beat her. Now that he had planted this shadow in his mind, he would naturally be more vigilant when choosing someone to send to the imperial concubine.
I finally combed my hair and changed my clothes.
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Hurry up, Madam. All the civil and military officials will go to the Jiyan Palace today. Oh, and I heard that someone special is coming today."
