Chapter 3455 Who wants his protection!
Nan Yan held her daughter, who was no longer petite, in her arms. Feeling that she was still trembling, she said softly, "Are you scared?"
Xinping didn't say anything, just kept his mouth shut.
Nan Yan said: "That person is dead, don't be afraid, there will never be such an accident again."
Xinping was originally trembling, but after hearing this, he seemed to be angry again, biting his lower lip and said: "I don't believe it!"
Nan Yan could tell something was wrong with the tone of the words, so she lowered her head to look at her daughter and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xinping was angry and scared. With red eyes, she looked up at her and said, "Mom, are you still asking me why? Didn't you hear what he just said? I'm about to die, and no one will care about me!"
Nan Yan immediately came to her senses.
Those cold and ruthless words Zhu Feng said in front of the villain before - in fact, they were just to make the other party relax his vigilance, and most importantly, to make him dare not act rashly. However, he did not expect that these words really hurt the girl's heart.
Nan Yan said hurriedly: "You have misunderstood your father."
Xin Ping said: "Humph!"
As she spoke, she had already released her arms from around Nan Yan, and leaned against the headboard, her arms folded and a look of rage on her face. Nan Yan knew she was truly furious, so she moved closer to her and said softly, "How could your father really bear to let someone hurt you? You were kidnapped at the time. If he had really acted like he valued you so much, wouldn't that villain have felt emboldened and wouldn't have let you go so easily?"
“…”
Xinping still pouted.
Nan Yan said softly, "Only if everyone acts as if they don't care will that person start to suspect that his method of kidnapping you might not be a real threat to your father. That way, you won't be in so much danger."
Xinping blinked, looked up at her, and wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
After a while, he snorted again.
Nan Yan reached out and stroked her face and neck, saying softly, "Of course, these words are unfair to you, but how could your father really not care about you?"
“…”
"He pretends to be cold and ruthless on the surface, but he's actually doing it to protect you."
This somewhat eased her heart, but Xinping was still somewhat resentful. She dived into Nanyan's arms again, buried her face in her chest, and said sullenly, "Who needs his protection!"
Nan Yan laughed and said, "How can you be unreasonable?"
As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked his daughter's back, as if he was stroking the fur of a cat.
Although this girl had been arguing with her father for so long and had indeed been greatly frightened and wronged, at least she could still make sense.
Feeling a little chilly, Nan Yan simply got into bed, pulled a thin blanket over herself, and held her daughter in her arms. While gently rocking her like when she was a child, she said softly, "Your father still loves you, but as an emperor, he can't speak and act as freely as ordinary people. Just like today, he said one thing, but he felt otherwise. You, Gu Ran, have been wronged, but isn't he thinking about you? Sometimes, you should also be considerate of your father..."
Xinping was a little unconvinced, but she really couldn't refute it, so she could only pout, mumble, close her eyes, and gradually fall asleep in Nanyan's arms.
At this time, Zhu Feng, who was standing outside the door, sighed softly.
A gust of wind blew, causing him to shiver slightly. Xiao Shunzi, who was following behind him, immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's late, you should go to bed early."
Zhu Feng took a look inside, said nothing, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly followed and whispered, "Your Majesty is not going in?"
Zhu Feng said, "The princess was frightened tonight, so I won't go in."
"So where is the emperor going tonight?"
"Just go spend the night in the study."
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi responded and winked at the two young eunuchs behind him. The two men also quickly ran forward to clean up and make arrangements. Zhu Feng walked out of the yard, looked at the guards outside, frowned and said, "Tell the people down there to be more careful. If anything goes wrong again, I will chop off their heads!"
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly took the order and gave instructions to his subordinates. No one here dared to be negligent. They all became extremely alert. Even those who were not on duty got up. Everyone kept their eyes wide open until dawn.
Zhu Feng went to the study. Although there was nothing to do, he did not rest. He read for a while and took a nap on the chair. Then it was dawn.
When Xiao Shunzi gently pushed the door open a little, he was still leaning on the chair with one hand supporting his forehead.
Xiao Shunzi held his breath and was about to tiptoe out when Zhu Feng, without opening his eyes, simply asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shunzi came in immediately and whispered, "Is the Emperor awake?"
Zhu Feng slowly opened his eyes, shook his stiff neck, and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Xiao Shunzi brewed a cup of hot tea and brought it to Zhu Feng, then said softly, "Lord Ying has already sent people out, but according to the news from the front, Doubei Town has also strengthened its border defenses and is not allowing people to enter or leave at will."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand."
This incident does not seem to be unexpected.
There is something fishy about Chen Biri's assassination. The killer sneaked into their Yan Country. Although it was his personal action, there must be a huge force driving this person behind the scenes.
This matter is more complicated than I thought before.
Seeing that he had no other instructions, Xiao Shunzi said nothing more, only saying: "Your Majesty, I asked the kitchen to prepare some hot soup for Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Bring it up."
Xiao Shunzi asked someone to bring in hot water and a towel, then he retreated. As he reached the door, he saw Nan Yan and Ruo Shui coming over. He hurriedly saluted, "Your Highness."
Nan Yan asked, "Is the Emperor resting here?"
"yes."
"Haven't you had breakfast yet?"
"I was just about to go downstairs to serve the meal."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Don't do it too much."
When Xiao Shunzi saw Ruoshui holding a bowl of bird's nest, he immediately agreed. At this time, Zhu Feng inside heard the voice outside and asked, "Who is it?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's my concubine."
"Come in."
Nan Yan turned around, took the small cup from Ruo Shui's hand, and slowly walked in. She saw Zhu Feng, who had just washed up, with water droplets still on his face. He turned around and glanced at her, saying, "Why are you here so early? Where's Xin Ping?"
Nan Yan said, "She's still sleeping. I thought she was frightened, so I didn't call her."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Let her sleep a little longer."
As he spoke, he wiped his face with a towel and walked into the inner room to sit down. Nan Yan walked over and put the bird's nest next to his hand, then looked at him again.
Then she whispered, "I heard that it was Li Bushang who did it?"
