Chapter 312 You Can’t Just Leave Like This
Although he said so, Nan Yan did not speak immediately. She just looked at him with her red eyes that had become dry due to tears.
The two people looked at each other for a long time in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yan finally spoke, but she didn't make any demands. Instead, she asked, "This time, the Emperor originally—originally, wanted to kill me, right?"
“…”
"The Emperor wants me dead, doesn't he?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her red eyes.
He is always open about what he does, whether it is good or bad.
But it was my first time, and I was a little hesitant to speak.
But, he was still calm and nodded: "Yes."
Tears welled up in her dry eyes once again. Nan Yan looked at this man, at the face that haunted her dreams, and choked up, "Why does the emperor treat me like this?"
“…”
"Is it because of the yin-yang technique?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you do this?"
Nan Yan shook her head firmly: "No."
Not a surprising answer.
Therefore, he also said calmly: "I, it's not because of this."
In an instant, Nan Yan felt as if all the pain in her body was clamoring out, as if it was about to push her into a desperate situation. She looked up at him and said in a hoarse voice, "It's because, Master Jian and I... The Emperor thought I wanted to leave the palace, right?"
When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Feng's eyes turned red.
He said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Nan Yan choked up and said, "Just because this servant wanted to leave...wanted to leave the palace, the Emperor got - angry?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was speechless.
Because a female official wanted to leave the palace, and wanted to leave, that would mean taking her life. He couldn't do such a thing.
But he did almost take Si Nanyan's life.
He could clearly see the marks left on her neck, the wound that almost took her life. Zhu Feng only felt a dull pain in his chest, which made him grit his teeth. In the end, he could only let out a muffled "hmm".
This response made Nan Yan's tears flow from the corners of her eyes again.
"Can't this slave girl leave?"
“…”
This time, Zhu Feng's breath was heavier.
He lowered his head, his hands still on either side of her body, imprisoning her under him, more like imprisoning her in a cage of his own.
He said word by word: "Of course not."
“…”
"You have appeared beside me, you have made me——"
“…”
"Of course you can't leave."
“…”
"You can't just walk away like this."
“…”
"I won't let you go."
Listening to his firm words, which were as unquestionable and indestructible as a law, Nan Yan's tears flowed even more violently.
Soon, a large area of the pillow was soaked.
Looking at her crying silently and her whole body trembling under him, Zhu Feng felt as if the tip of his heart was plucked out and it hurt. He raised one hand and wanted to wipe away her tears.
Nan Yan turned over and curled up into a ball facing the wall.
She was avoiding him.
Zhu Feng frowned.
He should have been angry. A servant avoided him like this, he should have been furious, but now, all his anger was suppressed by the pain like needles stabbing in his heart.
He slowly lay down beside her, and took this little woman who wanted to avoid him but had no way to avoid him into his arms.
Her tears finally soaked into his arms.
