Chapter 813 Is our child okay?
Zhu Feng hugged her and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him, speechless.
I have no strength left.
Just now, after hearing Zhu Feng's words that sounded like a vow, her spirit, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed.
And this relaxation is like the collapse of a dam in the body.
All her strength disappeared in that instant, and some things came rushing in, including tiredness, exhaustion, and an indescribable heaviness that made it almost impossible for her to lift her eyelids.
She leaned in Zhu Feng's arms, breathing weakly.
At this time, Zhu Feng's eyes were red, and he hugged her and shouted: "Nan Yan, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
At this moment, in Nan Yan's sight, she could not even see Zhu Feng's appearance. She could only see his outline in the blur and hear his angry voice, which was gradually getting farther away.
“Nan Yan——!”
Nan Yan fainted.
|
It was unknown how long it took before Nan Yan finally woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the gorgeous curtains above my head, with gold and silver threads sparkling with moving light.
“…”
Nan Yan was a little confused and hadn't reacted yet when Ran Xiaoyu's voice came from the side: "The Queen is awake!"
Nan Yan turned her head and saw her sitting by the bed.
On the other side, Zhu Feng was sitting in a chair, supporting his forehead with one hand, as if he was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Ran Xiaoyu's voice, he jumped up from the chair.
He came over immediately: "Nan Yan!"
As soon as she saw him, a smile appeared on Nan Yan's face instinctively.
"emperor……"
However, he didn't know how long he had slept, or maybe it was because he hadn't drunk any water, but his throat was extremely dry. He started coughing as soon as he said these two words. Zhu Feng immediately asked Ran Xiaoyu to pour him some warm water.
He held Nan Yan in his arms, let her lean on his arms, and fed water into her mouth bit by bit.
After drinking some water, Nan Yan became much more sober.
Her first action was to gently touch her belly.
Then he said, "What's wrong with me?"
Zhu Feng held her in his arms, looked down at her for a long moment, and then said, "The imperial physician said you're too tired."
“…”
"I'm so tired."
Nan Yan blinked and recalled that before she fell into a coma, she was indeed overwhelmed by the overwhelming fatigue.
The carriage was bumpy along the way, and Ashige and the others didn't take good care of me. Because I was nervous and worried about the baby in my belly, I was always tense and didn't get much sleep. I also had to use all my energy to resist the pregnancy reaction that came at any time.
I'm really tired.
Nan Yan said softly, "Is our child okay?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then said, "It's okay."
“…”
"You protected the child very well."
Hearing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, saw this scene and felt extremely regretful. She knelt down and said, "My Lady, this is all my fault. I should have been by your side to protect you."
Only then did Nan Yan turn around and see her.
Seeing her guilty look, Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Xiao Yu, it's not your fault."
“…”
"That day, I asked her to inform the people outside that the Golden Building had been robbed, which gave Ashige's people an opportunity to take advantage of it. It's not your fault. By the way—"
She suddenly remembered and turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Did you get the things back?"
Zhu Feng nodded: "Of course."
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I feel relieved."
Zhu Feng looked up at Ran Xiaoyu again, then said, "You can go out."
Although she was forgiven by the emperor and the imperial concubine, Ran Xiaoyu still felt remorseful. She left the room, closed the door, and slowly sat down on the steps in front of the door. She looked very depressed.
At this time, Aunt Tongyun came over.
There was still a scent of medicine on her body, because the imperial concubine had been in a coma for the past two days, and she and the imperial physician had been actively treating her.
I hardly slept a wink.
Aunt Tongyun said gently: "Xiaoyu, don't blame yourself. Didn't the queen save you?"
"But--"
"What's wrong?"
"It's all my fault that I didn't protect her well. She suffered so much along the way, and now—"
There was also a hint of sadness in Aunt Tongyun's eyes.
She said softly, "Okay, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault."
“…”
"Now, I just hope that the Imperial Concubine will be blessed with good fortune and that God will bless her and the child in her belly."
Ran Xiaoyu's eyes were red, and she whispered, "Aunt, the imperial concubine's child...will be fine, right?"
“…”
Aunt Tongyun was speechless after hearing her question.
After a long time, he repeated in a somewhat dry voice: "Auspicious person... God's blessing..."
Ran Xiaoyu lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.

In the room, Si Nanyan drank a few more sips of water and felt more energetic.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, is the box open?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said solemnly, "How can you still care about those trivial things? Why don't you care about yourself?"
"No,"
Nan Yan said, "Ashige stole the box because he thought it contained the imperial seal."
"What?"
Zhu Feng's eyebrows knitted together.
"Imperial Seal? The Imperial Seal of the Neng Kingdom?"
"Um."
"How is that possible?"
"I don't think it's possible either."
After saying that, Nan Yan added, "Isn't it true?"
Zhu Feng gave her a complicated look, then said, "If it really was the Jade Seal of the Neng Kingdom, and if Emperor Gao had truly obtained it, how could he have kept it in a palace he rarely visited, and not have heavily guarded it, allowing those people to obtain it so easily?"
“…”
These words were almost exactly what he had said to Ashig before.
Now, it is Zhu Feng who has to talk to him.
Maybe I'm a little sick and talking nonsense.
Nan Yan reached out and touched her forehead, and Zhu Feng immediately asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's just that—"
"What?"
"I'm a little hungry."
Hearing this word, Zhu Feng seemed to remember something and said, "You've been sleeping for three days. During these three days, I could only feed you some rice soup and porridge. Of course you'll be hungry."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out, telling the people outside to ask the kitchen to send food.
Nan Yan was surprised.
I actually slept for three days.
No wonder, this is already the Yishou Hall of Jinlou Villa. She had followed Ashige to the canal before. It was such a long distance, and it would take a day or two to come back.
Soon, the food was delivered and Zhu Feng helped her eat some.
After eating and drinking enough, people feel much better.
However, his body still felt a little weak, and although his hands and feet could still move, he obviously had no strength.
Nan Yan tried several times, but her body kept going limp. Zhu Feng said, "Alright, don't move around. The imperial physician has already said that you need to rest well."
“…”
"During this period, there can be no more running around, and no more bumps."
After hearing this, Nan Yan nodded obediently.
In fact, this time, she herself felt that she had escaped death.
If she was really caught by Ashige and taken to the Kingdom of Dian - not to mention what would happen after she arrived in the Kingdom of Dian, just the bumpy ride would be enough to cost her life.
However, the box was still on her mind.
Lying in Zhu Feng's arms, she looked up at him: "Your Majesty, that box——"
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "It can't be opened."
"ah?"
"The Emperor Gao did not leave any key."
"I heard from Ashig's men that the lock on that box seems to be specially made. If you force it open, it might destroy the contents."
"Um."
"But, what is it?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment before he said, "Since it was placed in the Wu family's Golden Mansion, it must be related to the Wu family. Otherwise, Emperor Gao wouldn't have left behind a single word or even the key."
"Could it be that the key has already been given to Duke Cheng?"
"If he had given it to me, why didn't Duke Cheng open it?"
“…”
This time, Nan Yan really had no idea.
Moreover, as soon as I used my brain, I felt dizzy. I felt a little more energetic just now, but now, I immediately felt weak.
In fact, it’s because of lack of physical strength.
This time, she was really hurt.
Seeing her gasping for breath again, Zhu Feng put his arm around her shoulders, held her and slowly laid her back on the bed, saying, "Don't think about that box anymore. I've already ordered someone to find a way to open the box."
"Open it?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"Since this has led to such a big incident, we might as well open the box and see what's inside. Coincidentally, one of the people we arrested this time said he might be able to open the lock."
The people who were arrested?
Nan Yan asked, "Are you from Yihuatang?"
"That's right."
"Who is it?"
"It seems to be a person named Awu."
Nan Yan blinked and immediately thought of the taciturn middle-aged man with a square face.
Can he open this kind of lock?
Zhu Feng added: "However, it will still take some time."
At this point, he murmured, "Perhaps, if he can open the lock of this box, he can also open the lock left by Emperor Gao."
“…”
really.
Nan Yan had felt before that Zhu Feng actually didn't care about the box in the Golden Tower, because he had long known that what Emperor Gao left behind was something related to the Wu family.
But Emperor Gao must have locked up other things somewhere else.
What Zhu Feng really wanted to open were things from other places.
She really wanted to ask.
However, without asking, one could tell that the lock left by Emperor Gao was a wound engraved on Zhu Feng's heart.
How could she open his wound again?
Zhu Feng looked down at her after a long while, and when he saw her eyes flickering slightly, he whispered, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Nan Yan shook her head and leaned into his arms.
