"Ever? Then isn't she now? What did she do?"
"she-"
Qin Ruolan hesitated, and said softly: "Concubine, concubine can't speak."
At this moment, the court lady Lian'er came in from the outside, upon hearing Qin Ruolan's words, she immediately said: "Miss Qin, what's so unspeakable, it's obviously her own fault for doing those shameful things."
"What?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he frowned: "Something shameful?"
Lian Er said: "That's right, she herself publicly admitted that she had an affair with other men, even Her Royal Highness, her daughter, is not the emperor's own flesh and blood, but—"
"Lian'er!" Qin Ruolan hurriedly said, "Stop talking!"
Although she was not stern, she frowned and scolded, showing a bit of anger. Seeing her like this, and seeing Zhu Feng's suddenly pale face, Lian'er didn't dare to speak, and shut her mouth hastily.
Qin Ruolan turned her head to look at Zhu Feng again, and said softly, "Your Majesty..."
She didn't dare to say anything before she finished speaking.
Although, Zhu Feng didn't say anything, and even the expression on his face didn't change—in fact, Zhu Feng's face had no expression at all, and at this moment, it was just suddenly covered with frost.
His eyes turned dark in an instant.
Even though there was a candle burning in front of him, it seemed that the candlelight couldn't shine into those dark and deep eyes. His whole body exuded a heavy and oppressive aura, which made people feel like breathing and heartbeat , cannot continue.
Lian'er trembled subconsciously.
Qin Ruolan also said softly: "Your Majesty, she, isn't she—"
"okay!"
When Zhu Feng opened his mouth, his voice was so low that it didn't seem to come from his throat, but from the deepest and darkest place in his heart, which made people shudder when they heard it.
"I want to be alone for a while," he said.
"..."
"You all go out."
"ah?"
Lian'er was still a little hesitant. She saw that the people at the inn had prepared hot water and meals and wanted to bring them to them. Now that's the case, is it unnecessary
However, looking at Zhu Feng's gloomy gaze, how dare she ask
Only Qin Ruolan stretched out his hand to support the edge of the table, stood up slowly, should have listened to his words and left, but hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, she—"
"I don't want to hear anything right now."
Zhu Feng's voice was low and hoarse.
"Everyone go out."
"..."
Qin Ruolan finally sighed softly, turned around and walked out.
After she got out of this room, she turned her head to look at Lian'er. Lian'er was still at a loss and asked, "Lady, what's wrong with the emperor? Why are you suddenly angry?"
"You—" Qin Ruolan sighed, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"Where is the slave talking nonsense? Those words are all said by herself."
"She said it herself, but it didn't work that way."
"Really? Then—"
Qin Ruolan looked back hesitantly, the door was closed, and there was no sound from inside, presumably, Zhu Feng was still sitting at the table, silent.
However, the oppressive air pressure in the room has not eased at all.
Forget it, with Zhu Feng's current state, it's not easy to get entangled in this matter.
Wait for the opportunity to clarify with him.
She sighed, and was about to go back. Lian'er hurriedly supported her, and said as she walked: "It's strange to say, isn't she missing? How come she returned to the emperor's side again? My lady, how are you?" It was easy to get the favor of the emperor again, and now that she comes back like this, it is not good for you."
"..."
Qin Ruolan said nothing.
Under the dim light, her willow leaf-like eyebrows frowned.
Time passed, gradually, until late at night.
The owner and waiter of the inn have also fallen asleep, the doors of all the rooms are closed, and the candles are all extinguished.
The entire inn fell into darkness and silence.
However, there was a faint candlelight flickering slightly in this quiet room.
The flickering light shone on the thin and pale face on the bed. Her long eyelashes were like the wings of a bird, fluttering slightly with her breathing, casting a slender shadow on her face, making her look thinner and thinner powerless.
Zhu Feng looked at her and listened to her slight breathing.
Every breath touched his heartbeat.
After a while, he slowly raised his hand and grabbed the skirt of his chest, feeling that the jumping thing in his chest was getting more and more out of control.
This strange feeling gave him a headache.
Why
Now, I finally understand something.
Why did I feel that strange feeling when I saw her, as if I was familiar with her, but also seemed to be inexplicably close, so...
But why
Why did he know the truth, he should have been furious, he should have hated her, and even - severely punished her, but now, looking at her, he didn't feel angry at all.
The little anger after knowing the truth disappeared after seeing her pale face and hearing her thin breathing.
Didn't she betray herself
Why, she can still appear in front of her so confidently, and follow her side confidently.
And he was angrier at himself—
He even missed the time he spent alone with her in the fishing village two days ago.
He actually misses her a little bit, the feeling of being close to her when he hugged her and rode the same ride.
He couldn't bear to be angry with her.
What's wrong with me
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he was still not angry with her. It took him a long time to realize that he was actually angry with himself.
"snort!"
He took a deep breath and put his hand on his chest down.
But he raised it involuntarily, and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips, feeling the warm and soft touch, which moved his heart.
In my heart, I became even more angry.
And at this moment, in the silent inn, there was a sudden knock on the door.
No, it was a knock on the door.
Bang bang bang, bang bang!
The violent sound indicated that the people who came were very eager, as if they were about to slam the door of the inn apart, and the sound immediately woke up many people in the inn.
Zhu Feng frowned. You Qi frowned when he saw that she seemed to be disturbed, and there was an uneasy murmur in her mouth.
Immediately turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.
At this time, the waiter of the inn had already woken up, put on his clothes and held a candlestick, came out yawning, and said, "Who, it's so late at night, why don't you let people sleep?"
As he spoke, he walked over and unlatched the door.
There was a bang, and it was someone outside who kicked the door open.
Zhu Feng happened to walk to the corridor on the second floor and looked down subconsciously.
