Chapter 3608 Is it possible that the war situation is not optimistic?
After all, you still have to be self-reliant.
Thinking of this, she recalled the words she had just said, and turned to Zhu Feng and whispered, "Your Majesty, what exactly did Ye Zheng mean by those words?"
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her.
Nan Yan said: "I am here, I don't need to be here, why is the emperor not angry when he sees these words?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows: "Was I angry just now?"
Nan Yan said: "No?"
Zhu Feng said: "No."
Nan Yan said: "Then there is none."
“…”
She sounded like she was giving in, but it was clear she was treating Zhu Feng like a child. Zhu Feng gritted his teeth in anger and whispered, "You want me to strangle you to death in front of envoys from all over the world, right?"
Nan Yan thought about the scene and couldn't help but smile.
Fortunately, everyone around was distracted by the dazzling fireworks in the sky and didn't notice the life-and-death struggle between the emperor and the imperial concubine. Nan Yan asked softly, "Your Majesty, what did Ye Zheng mean by those words?"
Zhu Feng also looked up at the firework that exploded in the sky. Countless tiny points of fire swayed and fell in the sky, like the Milky Way descending. The sky full of stars covered their heads. His eyes reflected the countless twinkling stars, and his eyes unconsciously became gentle.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I'm here, I don't have to be here."
“…”
“When things are done, I am there; when things are done, I don’t have to be there.”
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart moved and she immediately understood.
Zhu Feng continued to gaze at the starry sky and sighed softly, as if expressing regret, yet also as if he had let go. He softly said, "He's telling me that even if he's not by my side, it doesn't matter. He's been with me all this way, walking this path together. Now, I've seen the scenery that he and I most want to see, and he's seen it too."
“…”
"Having him by my side in my life is enough."
When he said the last few words, his voice suddenly choked a little.
At this moment, he seemed to see a familiar smiling face in the chaotic dizziness before his eyes. He was young, handsome and full of vitality. He had been by his side all the time in the past few years, helping him solve his problems. They had experienced the same pain and enjoyed the same joy of victory. Although he was no longer by his side, all the details of his companionship became extremely clear at this moment.
He never left.
For some reason, Nan Yan suddenly felt her eyes getting hot and she quickly lowered her head.
So this is what Ye Zheng meant.
He has always been by Zhu Feng's side, going through fire and water for him, not only because Zhu Feng saved him and raised him, but also because the two of them had the same dream and wanted to create the same prosperous world. Although in the end, because of Ye Quan's death, he could no longer stay by Zhu Feng's side with peace of mind, but the road they once walked together was not fake, and the scenery they wanted to see together was also real.
They never let each other down.
only--
Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng's eyes, which were illuminated by the fireworks that bloomed one after another. Many emotions flashed through his eyes in an instant, including satisfaction, happiness, and of course regret.
Nan Yan said softly, "That being said, I still hope he can come back."
“…”
"If he can come back tonight, the emperor will have no regrets, and neither will he."
There was one more thing she hadn't said, which was that maybe, she herself would have no regrets.
After all, Ye Zheng did not leave alone, he also took Ran Xiaoyu with him. Over the years, Zhu Feng was not the only one who was obsessed with someone thousands of miles away, Nan Yan suffered the same pain.
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Life without regrets would be boring."
“…”
"Sometimes keeping a little thought in mind may not be a bad thing."
“…”
"If he came back today, I might be happy, but he will leave eventually, and if he leaves again, I don't know if he will come back."
“…”
"His failure to return today leaves a regret, but he and I will both think that this regret must be made up for eventually. Perhaps, every day of the rest of my life I will have hope, wondering when he will return. Perhaps, we can meet again."
When he said this, the tenderness in his eyes was like water, almost flowing out along the lines at the corners of his eyes.
Nan Yan looked at him like this, and the bitterness in her heart suddenly turned into a full sour taste. She suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if one day Ye Zheng and I fall into the river together, who will Your Majesty save first?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she would suddenly ask such a nonsensical question. But when he saw the slightly resentful look on Nan Yan's face, he suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help laughing: "You!"
Somehow, the people around saw His Majesty the Emperor laughing, and then everyone started laughing too.
Such a night, such a scenery...
If you don’t laugh, what else can you do?
However, amidst the laughter, Zhu Feng heard a low, almost inaudible sigh.
Why would anyone sigh at a time like this?
He turned around and saw that Chadto from the country of Fisherin was also looking up at the colorful fireworks in the sky a few steps away from him. Like the people around him, he was amazed by the scenery and exclaimed in admiration, but then, as if he thought of something, a worry appeared on his brows, and he let out a low sigh.
Zhu Feng thought about it for a while, but ultimately didn't ask any more questions.
After all, this person was just a "special envoy" who had not been canonized by the monarch. Allowing him to enter the palace was already a great blessing. At this time, it was not convenient for him to say much to such a person.
Gao, the Parthian envoy standing next to Chadto, heard his sigh and couldn't help asking, "Is there something bothering you?"
Chadto turned to look at him, and the two men nodded.
Gao Ye asked, "Such a beautiful view, could it be that you are still unhappy?"
Chadto sighed softly again, then said, "It is indeed a beautiful sight, but when I look at it and think about the current situation in my country, I feel a little uneasy."
Gao Ye said, "I also heard that your country, Fisherin, seems to be at war with a neighboring country. What's the name of that country—"
Chadto said: "The Portuguese country."
"Yes, Portuguese,"
Gao also said: "Could it be that the war situation is not optimistic?"
Chadto said, "They've created a new weapon that looks like a firework when it's in motion. It's incredibly powerful. The war situation is truly not optimistic."
Gao Ye raised an eyebrow slightly and thought for a moment, as if he wanted to say something to comfort the person in front of him, but Chadto had already smiled to himself and said, "It's not right to say bad things when things are good like this. Let's just enjoy the scenery."
After saying that, he raised his head and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Gao Ye's heart seemed to be shocked by his words, but seeing that Chadto didn't want to mention it again, he smiled and didn't mention it again.
Everyone looked up, watching this magnificent spectacle, but no one knew that a massive event was coming from overseas, with a faint, overwhelming force that would change the future of the Central Plains...
