Chapter 1280 But I still want to see him
Nan Yan didn't say anything, as if half of her consciousness was still in a chaotic dream.
After staring blankly at Ran Xiaoyu for a long while, she spoke in a barely audible voice, "Where's the Emperor?"
“…”
Seeing that she had just woken up and hadn't even regained consciousness yet, she asked the emperor as soon as she opened her mouth. Ran Xiaoyu felt sour and bitter in her heart. She gently tucked the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears: "Your Majesty, are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?"
“…”
Nan Yan was confused for a moment, as if she didn't understand what she said at all.
I just knew intuitively that she didn't answer my question.
Then he asked again, "Where is the emperor?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu felt her eyes burning. She originally thought that she would not shed tears, but when she saw that Nan Yan had suffered such serious injuries and was already so weak, yet still subconsciously asked Zhu Feng, she felt heartbroken.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, let's go."
“…”
"Have you forgotten, Madam?"
“…”
"Last night, the Emperor—he left."
“…”
Hearing the words "last night", Nan Yan opened her eyes wide, and the fog in her eyes dissipated, as if she had finally regained some memory and sanity.
She finally remembered.
Suddenly, Ning Jing's frail eyes became panicked, and her breathing became disordered. She raised her hands tremblingly, trying to prop herself up and sit up, gasping for breath: "He's gone? I, I want to go find him, I want to explain to him, Xiaoyu, help me--"
Her body was weak and she had a miscarriage two months into her pregnancy. Perhaps the injury was not as severe as the one she suffered during her previous delivery, but she had been injured once after all, and some old illnesses still remained in her body. The pain this time completely caused all the hidden dangers to erupt.
Even to say a few words, he was so weak that he was gasping for breath, let alone sitting up.
But seeing how she gritted her teeth and persisted, Ran Xiaoyu could only hold her and let her sit against the head of the bed. She also took a pillow to cushion her back. But Nan Yan was still unwilling and wanted to get up again: "Let me get up."
"My lady, please don't move."
Ran Xiaoyu pressed her shoulders and pushed her back.
"You are too weak to walk around."
“…”
"Just take a good rest first, okay?"
Nan Yan was so panicked that her eyes turned red. Especially at this moment, she was fully awake and remembered what Zhu Feng said to her in anger last night when he came to the cold palace and stood in front of her.
He can't forgive himself.
This realization caused her great pain.
Nan Yan looked at Ran Xiaoyu and choked up, "But I——"
"Empress!"
Seeing Nan Yan like this, Ran Xiaoyu was angry and distressed. She put her hands on her shoulders and, with almost no effort, stopped all her weak movements, making her unable to move. She said in a deep voice: "The emperor has already told you those words. He-he just doesn't care about you anymore."
“…”
"Why are you still looking for him?"
“…”
Hearing Ran Xiaoyu say this, Nan Yan's body trembled violently.
A tear welled up from her dry eyes and slid down her thin cheek.
Her lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, she choked and whispered softly: "But I - I want to see him."
“…”
This sentence is as soft as a mosquito's hum.
But it was like a heavy stone pressing on Ran Xiaoyu's heart.
She felt sad and looked at Nan Yan: "My Lady..."
Nan Yan lowered her head, tears falling down. She sobbed and whispered softly, "I know he is angry with me, and I also know that he hates me, but I——"
“…”
"I want to see him."
“…”
"I feel so sad, but I still want to see him."
As she spoke, she slowly covered her face with her hands, and tears slipped through her fingers, dripping drop by drop onto Ran Xiaoyu's hands.
Her heart was also trembling.
Having been with Nan Yan for so long, she knew very well that although Nan Yan looked petite and weak, her heart was more resolute and tougher than anyone else. Even when facing Zhu Feng, she would rather die than obey.
But now——
Her heart has become so soft because of Zhu Feng.
Losing her child was a mental and physical injury to her, but Zhu Feng's cold attitude towards her was probably the deepest wound in her heart.
Ran Xiaoyu was helpless and could only say, "My Lady, please don't worry. You can't leave the cold palace in your current state. Let me go and take a look for you, okay?"
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan raised her head, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her tearful eyes as she looked at her.
"Really? Then—"
As soon as she calmed down, she suddenly thought about how angry Zhu Feng was last night. Now she was trapped in the cold palace, but the situation was different from before. Before, everyone was somewhat cautious about her, but now, it might not be that simple.
She whispered, "Can we still go out?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu's face also darkened.
Last night, Zhu Feng's words officially banished Nan Yan to the cold palace. The situation now is really different from before. There are people guarding the door of the cold palace and they are no longer allowed to enter or leave.
However, Ran Xiaoyu immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will find a way. Besides, I can go find Ye Zheng!"
Yes, Ye Zheng!
Nan Yan's eyes lit up, and she was so flustered that she almost forgot about Ye Zheng.
As long as Ran Xiaoyu opens her mouth, Ye Zheng will definitely agree to any conditions.
Nan Yan nodded in surprise, and immediately said: "But you must be careful, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry with me, and you will be angry too-"
Ran Xiaoyu had acted recklessly in the past, and Zhu Feng had forgiven her for his sake. But now, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
"Don't worry, Madam."
Ran Xiaoyu comforted her a few more words, then got up and walked out.
Nan Yan watched her back disappear at the door. Although there was still some pain in her body, her heart was full of hope.
Maybe, when Zhu Feng's anger subsides...
But this time, he might not be able to calm down so easily.
But, it doesn't matter.
She bit her lower lip, held her hands tightly, and said to herself: No matter what, I will find a way to make him forgive me.
They will definitely be able to reconcile.
In the following time, although Nan Yan was tired and weak, she still insisted on sitting on the head of the bed, staring at the door without blinking, hoping that Ran Xiaoyu would come back.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside.
She's back!
Nan Yan was delighted and immediately pulled herself together, a smile on her face: "Xiao Yu, how did you find out--"
He choked before he could finish his words.
Because she saw that the person who walked in from outside was not Ran Xiaoyu.
Instead, it was Wu Wan and Gao Yurong, who had a sarcastic sneer on their faces.
