Chapter 618 How many traumas are behind him?
"You two are such a headache."
“…”
As soon as Nan Yan heard it, she knew that he was talking about herself and Zhu Feng.
His mood became heavier, and he said, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Zheng pulled out a stool and sat down, saying with a wry smile, "The Imperial Concubine has lost her appetite, and the Emperor has lost his appetite."
“…”
"Are you going to make life difficult for us little people like you?"
“…”
"The Empress has already called me over and scolded me. If she can't get the Emperor to eat again, she'll tear me apart and eat me."
“……!”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Queen?
That's right. As the mistress of the harem and the queen who rules the country, she may not be able to take care of state affairs, but the emperor's health is something she must consider.
So, she was scaring Ye Zheng?
Nan Yan subconsciously asked, "Does the Queen know what happened?"
Ye Zheng smiled and said, "This harem belongs to the Empress. Is there anything she doesn't know?"
"Then why doesn't she go and persuade the emperor herself?"
“…”
"But to let you—"
"What do you think?"
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Nan Yan.
In the candlelight, his handsome face showed a hint of cunning.
But his gaze seemed deep.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Ye Zheng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Your Highness, I wish I could explain this to you clearly."
“…”
"The Emperor was very disliked by Emperor Gao in the beginning."
“…”
Of course Nan Yan knew this.
His own son was sent to a cold and bitter place like Peking, and faced the iron cavalry of the Neng State that could engulf that area at any time.
What's more, the soldiers of the Neng Kingdom were more brave and valiant than they are now, and Peking did not yet have the steel wall that Zhu Feng had trained for more than ten years.
At that time, he was really in danger.
Ye Zheng said, "I've followed him all the way to where I am today, and I've experienced more than any other man in his sixties or seventies."
“…”
"What about him?"
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly.
certainly.
Ordinary people will not experience the struggles in the harem, the hardships of war, or even their own fathers being wary of them and setting up obstacles to stop them. They will not experience such human tragedies as competing with their nephews for the world.
The Zhu Feng that he saw was just a surface.
In other words, what he showed himself was only his intact side.
It may be hard to imagine how much trauma he has left behind.
Ye Zheng said, "No ordinary person would be willing to expose their scars, let alone him."
“…”
"Even if ordinary people uncover their scars, they will only face pain."
“…”
"But he's more than just pain."
Ye Zheng looked into Nan Yan's eyes and said seriously, "Why didn't the Queen go and persuade her in person, but asked me to find a way?"
“…”
"My Lady, you must have some calculations in your mind."
“…”
At this moment, Nan Yan understood a little.
Because the queen knew that there were some things that even she, who had been with him for so many years, could not ask.
But I went to ask.
Moreover, he asked in such a rude manner.
Nan Yan said softly: "So, you want to say that I was wrong?"
Ye Zheng looked at her for a while and said, "Maybe you are right."
“…”
"It's just that the path you're taking is very difficult."
“…”
"Your Majesty was able to build the city of Beiping so impregnable that even the cavalry of the Neng Kingdom could not destroy it."
“…”
"Then how thick is the wall he built in his heart?"
Nan Yan didn't say anything.
He just frowned and looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him, his mind becoming more and more serious.
Ye Zheng stood up and said, "Your Highness, the way you treat the Emperor—and the way the Emperor treats you—is indeed different."
“…”
"But I think you should think carefully about how to use this difference."
Seeing him about to leave, Nan Yan said, "Wait a minute, where is the emperor now?"
"Still in the Imperial Study."
“…”
"Looks like we'll have to stay all night again."
Ye Zheng glanced at her deliberately, and said with a half-smile, "Just like last night."
Nan Yan was stunned and said hurriedly: "Last night, Your Majesty, last night -"
"The Emperor stayed in the Imperial Study last night."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help but feel her face burning with heat.
She thought that Zhu Feng was in the Yanxi Palace with Qin Ruolan last night.
So, she made herself "frustrated" for the whole night, and when Zhu Feng came, her attitude towards him was no longer the same as usual.
But it turns out that—
I have wronged him.
But now it seems that this is just a small matter, and Zhu Feng is completely unaware of the real haze in his heart.
After all, as an emperor, it was normal for him to favor Concubine Ning.
After going there, he left again and stayed in the imperial study for another night.
This is not normal.
Nan Yan also stood up subconsciously, but because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were a little numb, and she staggered as soon as she stood up. Fortunately, Ye Zheng supported her.
"What are you going to do?"
"I, I want to see the emperor."
Ye Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget about it tonight."
“…”
"My Lady, please have a good rest. We can meet again when both of you are more awake."
"But, I have one more thing I want to report to the Emperor."
"What?"
Nan Yan said, "Tomorrow is the day I return home to visit my parents. I originally planned to tell the emperor, but—I didn't have time."
"You want to go home?"
"Um."
"What are you going back for?"
Nan Yan sighed softly and said, "You also know about the letter at the enthronement ceremony."
"certainly."
"That was left by my father and kept by my grandmother."
“…”
“But actually, nothing is explained.”
“…”
"Whose daughter am I? Why did my father bring me back to Yan from Neng? There are many other things, but I don't know anything."
“…”
"So, I want to go back and ask my grandmother to see if there are any clues at home that can help me figure out my life story."
Ye Zheng nodded: "That's as it should be."
He looked at Nan Yan with a complicated expression and said, "Anyone who knows nothing about their past will be at a loss as to what to do."
“…”
"How about this, I will speak to the emperor on your behalf."
“…”
"The Emperor will definitely approve it."
Nan Yan nodded gently: "Okay. Then I will go to see the emperor tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Ye Zheng turned and left.
Nan Yan, with a heavy heart, slowly walked to the bed and sat down.
Inside the room, the flickering candlelight was constantly swaying, illuminating the Yikun Palace in dim light.
And Zhu Feng——
How deep is the haze in his heart?
