Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked up to Zhu Feng, and knelt down in front of him with a plop.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng slightly raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan knelt in front of him, lowered her head, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't discuss it with the emperor, so I made my own decisions. I deserve death."
"oh?"
Although she said so, Zhu Feng's face showed no sullen expression, not even anxiety.
He only said calmly, "What claim did you make yourself?"
Nan Yan lowered her head and said, "I have agreed a time limit with the people in the city. When the time limit expires, before the rebels have withdrawn, the soldiers guarding the city will open the city gates and let them leave the city."
"oh… "
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and leaned forward: "When did you make an appointment with them?"
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at him.
The eyes of the two people met, and there seemed to be a little spark flickering.
"At sunset."
"At sunset?"
Hearing these four words, Zhu Feng's tone became a little subtle. He looked at Nan Yan for a while, then slowly stood up and walked towards her.
Nanyan buried her head even lower.
She saw the pair of bright yellow boots walking straight in front of her and stopped. The person in front of her bent down, and her clothes made a rustling sound.
A hand reached over, pinched her chin, and lifted her face up.
Nan Yan was also forced to raise her head and met his gaze.
There was a gleam in those sharp eyes, whether it was joy or anger, although it was deep and far away, it seemed that something was about to overflow.
"You are so courageous." Zhu Feng said, "You were so bold in the past?"
"Well-"
"How dare you make up your own mind and make an appointment with the people to open the city? Are you not afraid that I will punish you severely?"
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Concubine, have confidence in yourself."
"..."
This seems to be saying that she is confident that her doting on her will make her reluctant to punish him severely.
Zhu Feng frowned.
As an emperor, he doesn't like someone who is "arrogant because of his favor", but knowing that she has such a self-consciousness, he seems to think-it's not bad.
Of course, the expression on his face was still serious.
Zhu Feng coughed lightly again, and said, "Then, aren't you worried that if you make your own decisions, it will affect the fall of Crane City?"
Nan Yan looked up at him.
"I have confidence in the emperor."
"Cough cough."
Zhu Feng couldn't help coughing twice again, subconsciously clenched his fist and covered his mouth, but he couldn't cover the slightly upturned corner of his mouth.
And Nanyan still looked at him, and said seriously: "The emperor will definitely defeat the rebels and protect everything in the city, including my concubine and our daughter. Right?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "You have so much confidence in me?"
Nan Yan also looked at him, and said word by word: "I have never doubted the emperor."
"..."
The two looked at each other again, and there was something warm and velvet blending in their eyes.
Zhu Feng reached out to grab her arm and helped her up.
"The emperor..."
Nan Yan originally wanted to say something, but felt that the hand holding her was wrapped around her, and she was pulled into her arms by pressing her back.
When his cheek was pressed against his chest, Zhu Feng's low but reassuring voice came from above his head.
"Of course I will protect you."
"..."
"I will definitely protect you!"
Hearing these words that seemed to be an oath, Nan Yan had a happy smile on her face, and she also stretched out her hands to wrap around Zhu Feng's thin waist.
Zhu Feng murmured in his ear.
"I finally understand..."
"What?"
Looking down, he saw Nan Yan raised his head from his arms, and looked at him with wide eyes with some doubts. Zhu Feng was silent for a while but didn't say anything. He just grabbed the back of her head and buried her face in his arms.
Finally, I understand why I insisted on going to the Leng Palace to find the figure who reassured me when I forgot all the past and the chaos in my mind—although I found the wrong one.
Finally, I understand why people around me always praise her more than flattery when they mention her.
I finally understood why so many unfavorable accusations were pointed at her, but I was still inexplicably willing to believe her and even get close to her.
It's like she's a part of her body.
Probably, it was a bone left in the chest.
Only when she came back could her heartbeat be stable and her breathing smooth.
These are things that no one else can give.
just her, just her...
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and the hands that embraced her became even stronger.
But at this moment, a person hurriedly ran outside. Hearing the footsteps, Nan Yan subconsciously wanted to break free from Zhu Feng's arms, but after all, before it was too late, Ye Zheng had already rushed to the door: " emperor-"
Before he finished speaking, the next moment, he turned around and covered his eyes.
"ah!"
Nan Yan's face turned red, she broke free from Zhu Feng's arms, and took several steps back, looking ashamed and embarrassed.
Zhu Feng looked at her, not knowing what to say for a while.
The next moment, he glared angrily at the person at the door.
Walking over, another kick.
"Ouch!"
Ye Zheng was almost kicked down the steps by him, and he staggered a step before he stood still. Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "What's the name of the ghost? Have you seen a ghost?!"
"No, no, hehe."
Ye Zheng clutched his butt, and limped in. Seeing Zhu Feng's sulky look, and Nan Yan standing aside, his face was flushed to the tips of his ears, and he was also complaining in his heart. Let yourself hit
It's also their fault, the door is not closed in broad daylight!
Of course, these words are just complaining in my heart.
Zhu Feng flicked his sleeves angrily, sat back behind the table, and said, "What are you doing here again?"
Ye Zheng smiled wryly and said: "Xiaguan just passed by Yishou Hall, everyone gathered there. Empress and Lady Qin," he said up to this point, glanced at Nanyan, and continued: "Let Xiaguan come over and ask Ask the emperor, what should we do next?"
"..."
Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
Nan Yan's heart also moved.
The Empress naturally asked Ye Zheng to come over and ask, what should I do next, after all, she is the Empress, and she is also responsible for mediating and dispatching the people here, but Qin Ruolan, she also intervened
I'm afraid they wanted Ye Zheng to come over and see what they were doing.
Nan Yan smiled helplessly.
Zhu Feng didn't bother to say anything else, he just glanced at the map on the table and said, "Just tell them, wait."
"Wait? Wait—what?"
"Wait for the sunset."
"..."
Ye Zheng took a deep breath.
He followed Nanyan to the gate of the city, and he knew what she had agreed with those ordinary people. Even the emperor said so now, that is to say, he also tacitly agreed that at sunset—
What will happen
