Chapter 1041: But I Can’t See Through Her
Once the others left, they were the only two left in the room.
Nan Yan panted, watching Zhu Feng approach and dismiss Lian Er, a smile subconsciously appeared on her face: "Ah——"
But the next moment, her smile froze again.
Zhu Feng exuded a heavy aura.
Although she knew that he was a somewhat "ugly" person and seldom showed a gentle appearance, but because they were too familiar and close in the past, she was very familiar with even the slightest bit of gentleness in him.
Therefore, during these days, when the two of them were getting along as strangers, she would often feel jealous.
Because he showed unusual tenderness towards a stranger to himself.
But now, this tenderness has disappeared completely.
Although he hadn't said anything or done anything yet, Nan Yan had already felt it completely.
Especially those deep, almost bottomless eyes, staring at him at this moment, with a chill that penetrates his bones.
What's wrong?
what happened?
She looked at him somewhat bewilderedly: "Ah..."
The next moment, Zhu Feng reached out and grabbed her arm, and also supported her body which was about to fall due to her unstable standing.
However, the strength in his hands felt a bit heavy.
Nan Yan felt a little pain from his pinch, and her brows were furrowed, but she still looked at him.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
“…”
"Lie back and rest."
His voice was relatively steady, without any hint of rebuke.
But there is no warmth in the voice.
Nan Yan was grabbed by his arm and took two or three steps back to the bed. She sat down with a thud and her whole body was shocked.
She looked up at Zhu Feng: "Ah..."
What's wrong?
Zhu Feng looked down at her and clearly saw the look in her eyes.
It's ridiculous that even at this point, I can still understand her heartbeat.
But I just can't see through her.
Then, what if Li is not hurt?
As soon as he saw her lying here last night, he rushed in regardless of everything. When his eyes were fixed on her, it seemed as if he wanted to imprint her and her shadow in his eyes without leaving a single detail.
Did he understand this woman?
Zhu Feng's breath sank again, and the anger in his heart that had been suppressed was now rushing up from the soles of his feet.
Why should I care about this?
There are so many important things happening right now. I don’t have the time, and there is no need, to care about this.
He said solemnly, "I don't have time to take care of you now, so just stay here."
“…”
"You're not allowed to go anywhere."
“…”
"You are not allowed to see anyone."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave. Nan Yan suddenly became anxious and subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Huh?"
Why?
Why did your attitude towards yourself suddenly change?
Before, wasn't everything fine? Why, after a night, when he woke up, not only did the attitudes of the people around him change...but even he himself had changed?
Could it be that it was because of Qin Ruolan, because of her, that he returned to him?
Nan Yan's heart trembled suddenly.
Zhu Feng felt her pulling at his sleeve, and he felt even more furious. He turned around, frowning, and was about to say something when he saw her pale little face, her chin thin and pointed, and her bewildered look, so pitiful...
His heart softened for no reason.
At this moment, a soft voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty?"
The sound rang out in the quiet room. Although it was very low and light, for some reason, it was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, shaking Nan Yan so much that her hand trembled for a moment and then she let go.
Turning around, I saw Qin Ruolan standing at the door.
When Zhu Feng heard her voice, he was also shocked, but in his mind, the words she said to him last night rang out -
She, indeed, had been a concubine.
Concubine, I can’t say it.
…
Every sentence, every word was like a knife or a needle, piercing into his bloody heart again.
He waved his hand suddenly and pulled back his sleeves, and a gust of wind blew across Nan Yan's face.
Bone-chillingly cold.
Qin Ruolan watched this scene with a calm expression on his face. He hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from them that the Emperor did not sleep all night."
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, then turned to her, his voice slightly warmer: "Yeah."
"Your Majesty, no matter how critical the situation is, you must take care of your health."
"I know."
"Your Majesty, are you going back to rest now? I've already had the bed made."
"...No need. I have something else to discuss with Li—with them."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please get busy. I have a concubine here."
"Um."
After Zhu Feng finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.
Qin Ruolan was still standing there, watching his back as he left the room. After a moment, she slowly turned her head and looked at Si Nanyan who was sitting blankly beside the bed.
After a moment of silence, she came over and asked, "Are you awake?"
“…”
"Are you okay?"
“…”
"You've slept all night, so you must be hungry. I'll have the innkeepers bring you some hot water and food. Lian'er, go and give them the instructions."
"yes."
Lian'er took the order, turned around and walked out.
Seeing Nan Yan sitting there with a pale face, as if half of her soul had been lost, Qin Ruolan frowned slightly and said, "No matter what happened before, I still want to say hello to you first. The emperor is facing a critical situation now. We have to conceal our identities when we go out. You should understand this."
“…”
"When you see him again, just call him Master."
“…”
Nan Yan kept her head down and remained silent, which made Qin Ruolan frown slightly.
She thought for a moment, bent down, and said in a deep voice, "You, you were kidnapped, weren't you?"
“…”
"And why are you with the Emperor?"
“…”
"you--"
It was not until this time that Nan Yan slowly raised her head and looked at her.
When she looked up, Qin Ruolan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Although they met yesterday, it was already the middle of the night and the lighting was not good when they entered the inn, so she couldn't see Nan Yan clearly at all.
I just feel that she is very quiet.
At this moment, when she looked up, she saw that there was a scar on her neck.
It looks quite deep.
Qin Ruolan said subconsciously: "Are you injured? Then you——"
Nan Yan looked at her for a while, then smiled at her.
Although her heart was already broken when she put on this smile.
The pain made my whole body tremble slightly.
