Chapter 3326 My head hurts!
Nan Yan said softly: "Wen Wuyu's crazy words said that it was my uncle who came to the northwest to kill people, but he was not the only one. Besides him, there were also women."
"woman?"
Zhu Feng's brows furrowed even tighter: "The woman, wasn't she killed?"
Nan Yan shook her head slightly and said, "A woman was killed, but there were men and women who killed people."
She breathed a little lighter when she said this.
As if she was being cautious in front of the emperor, or as if she was afraid of touching something, she slowly said, "The man who killed someone was my uncle. Then, can the emperor think of who the woman who killed someone was?"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but put one hand on his knee and clenched it silently.
Nan Yan whispered, "Could it be—my aunt?"
Zhu Feng shook his head slightly, then said, "I've heard that before my aunt married my uncle, she was just an ordinary village woman. She had no martial arts skills and no knowledge of military tactics. She was not the same as my mother and Concubine Qin—Concubine Qin. Even after my uncle became an official, and she was granted an imperial decree, she was still just an ordinary woman. I heard that she usually didn't even leave the house. Although there were servants at home, she liked to do everything herself, even sweeping the floor herself."
Nan Yan listened and understood.
It seems that this is a simple noble lady. Even though she has become successful, she has not changed her hardworking nature. It seems unlikely that such a person would follow the old uncle to the northwest to kill people.
But in this way——
Nan Yan's mind seemed to have not yet come to her senses, but her body's instinct had already made her feel her breathing was heavy and her heartbeat was even a little slow.
She subconsciously took a few deep breaths, then looked at Zhu Feng and said tentatively: "Then, what other woman could it be?"
“…”
"A woman who has any connection with the old uncle——"
A light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly understood why she felt so heavy-hearted.
At this moment, Zhu Feng's breathing also slowed down.
The two of them just sat there in silence, as if suddenly an invisible shield enveloped them, and the raging wind, rain, and biting cold outside could not disturb them.
However, there was also a feeling of unease that permeated the tent, becoming increasingly stronger.
After a long while, Zhu Feng finally said, "There is probably only one woman who can be related to my uncle."
Nan Yan's throat choked.
Still dare not speak.
Zhu Feng looked up at her, as if he wanted to hear her say it out loud to confirm his guess, but after waiting for a long time, Nan Yan didn't say a word. He could only feel her breathing becoming more and more rapid. Then he realized that perhaps he was the only one in the world who could say this.
No one else, even someone as close to him as Nan Yan, would dare to do so.
He said slowly, "It's the Queen Mother."
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
The Queen Mother, that is, the late Empress Chen.
Zhu Feng's stepmother was also the biological mother he recognized for a long time.
Will it?
Although she had vaguely thought of it in her heart, she still seemed to be unable to believe it. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Zhu Feng's hand on his knee: "Is it possible?"
Zhu Feng's hands were also shaking unconsciously.
He said slowly: "If it were any other situation, with any other person, I would never have thought of her."
“…”
"But, if the child left behind is me, then, then—" He said this with heavy breathing, repeating it several times as if it was difficult to support himself. Nan Yan hurriedly reached out to wipe his chest to help him breathe. Zhu Feng took another deep breath before saying, "Then, the woman who was killed must be—"
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "I understand."
She interrupted him because she saw that Zhu Feng's eyes were bloodshot and she couldn't let him continue.
Zhu Feng glanced at her and gave a wry smile.
He took several deep breaths, but the stuffy chest didn't feel any better. He said solemnly, "If the facts are as we suspect, then the murderers were my mother and my uncle. This matter is logical."
Nan Yan squatted in front of him and thought for a long time.
Finally, he whispered, "Yes..."
Empress Chen was the empress of Emperor Gao. Although Nan Yan had never even met her mother-in-law and people around her hardly ever mentioned her, Nan Yan didn't know what kind of person she was. However, judging from Emperor Gao's attitude of being buried with her in the end, she must have been an empress that made him very satisfied.
Moreover, the posthumous title of Empress Chen was Xiaoci.
Filial piety and kindness, filial piety refers to being towards elders, and kindness refers to being towards younger generations. From these two points of view, Empress Chen is well-known for her virtue.
However, how does she treat the other concubines in the harem?
Would such a filial and kind queen bring her brothers to the northwest, kill Princess Tana, a woman who gave birth to a prince for Emperor Gao, and then take the child away and make him her own son?
Will it be like this?
Nan Yan has been in the harem for so many years. Although she has been favored by the emperor and has never taken the initiative to plot or even murder others, she does not deny that a woman's jealousy can make a person change beyond recognition. From Du Siyao to Qin Ruolan, from Feng Qianyan to Chen Lianxiang, she does not believe that these people are bad from birth, but she is afraid that people will become bad.
Then, Empress Xiaoci Gao...could she be such a person?
Nan Yan was still thinking about this when she suddenly heard a deep, low roaring sound in her ears, as if thunder had started exploding in the sky again. But when she came to her senses and looked up, she found that Zhu Feng's face was pale and his eyes were red, as if blood was about to drip. His heavy breathing was hot, and the hands that she was stroking on the back of her hands were also constantly exerting force, and the veins on the back of her hands were bulging.
"emperor!"
When Nan Yan saw him like this, she was shocked.
She didn't forget that Zhu Feng looked like this when he attacked her in the past!
She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhu Feng's arms: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Feng looked up at her, but his eyes were red and empty, as if he didn't see who was in front of him at all. He panted for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "I, I have a headache, my head hurts so much!"
After saying that, he screamed and fell down.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan couldn't hold him back, and Zhu Feng fell to the ground, struggling with his head in his hands. Nan Yan was terrified and quickly reached out to hold him, looking up and shouting outside: "Help, help!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yi rushed in from outside.
He seemed to have been waiting nearby. When he came in and saw this, he immediately came forward to support Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?!"
Nan Yan said anxiously: "Your Majesty has a headache, think about what to do!"
