He let go of that little hand all of a sudden, as if touching a red-hot coal.
That nanny didn't know why, she just knelt on the ground, looked at him in astonishment, and said softly, "Your Majesty...?"
Xu Miaoyin sat beside him, seeing him like this, she also asked softly: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
"..."
Zhu Feng didn't speak.
But he could clearly feel that his breathing was messed up, maybe even his heartbeat was messed up, and those eyes, which were always bottomless and unpredictable, shone with a little uncertainty at this moment.
This is what everyone has never seen before.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng suddenly reached out and took the baby from the hand of the nanny, and the nanny said in astonishment, "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng said: "Go down first and prepare for the princess' funeral."
"..."
"It's ready, I'll send the princess over again."
Seeing what he meant, he wanted to stay with the dead little princess all the time.
That nanny, the imperial physician behind her, and some concubines around were a little stunned. According to etiquette, the emperor shouldn't do this, but now, he has to hold the dead little princess in his arms all the time...
Could it be that the emperor is so sad about the passing of this daughter
Just when everyone was a bit puzzled, Nan Yan took a step forward and said softly: "It is indeed a pity that the emperor lost his beloved daughter, but I also hope that the emperor will not be too sad. It is important to take care of the dragon's body."
"..."
Zhu Feng didn't speak, just looked at her.
His eyes flickered, as if he had a lot to say, but his whole body was silent and depressed.
Nan Yan sighed lightly, then turned to the empress and said, "Empress, shall we...retire first?"
The "we" she said naturally refers to herself and the other concubines in the Yanchun Pavilion, but if the queen thinks about it again, she will understand that this "we" also includes the queen herself.
At this time, she was in charge of the overall situation.
Xu Miaoyin took a look at her and understood, so she got up and saluted Zhu Feng.
Everyone also kowtowed and saluted after her.
The Queen said: "Please don't be too sad, Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon's body."
Then, he led the crowd outside.
Just when everyone was walking to the door, Concubine An suddenly said, "Concubine Hui, what's wrong with you?"
When everyone looked back, it turned out that Wu Wan accidentally tripped over the threshold and almost fell down. Fortunately, the little maid beside her and An Bin stretched out their hands to support her.
Xu Miaoyin turned her head and looked at her: "Huh?"
Wu Wan's face was a little pale, and she just waved her hand: "It's okay."
With that said, he went out.
Everyone looked at her like this, so it was not easy to ask too many questions. Everyone retreated out one after another. Just as Nanyan walked to the door and was about to go out, Zhu Feng's voice suddenly came from behind——
"Nanyan."
"..."
Nan Yan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She looked back and saw that there were so many people standing in the huge Yanchun Pavilion just now, as if it was a bustling scene, all of a sudden he was left alone sitting in a chair with his arms in his arms. Looking at the cold, lifeless little princess, this desolate feeling is heartbreaking.
Nan Yan said softly: "What is the emperor's order?"
"..."
Although he stopped her, Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, but just looked back at her.
That gaze seemed complicated and bewildered.
Nan Yan also looked at him for a while, but said softly: "The emperor needs to stay quietly for a while now, and the concubine will serve outside. If the emperor sends a summons, the concubine will come immediately."
"..."
Her meaning is also very clear.
If you don't know what to say to me, I won't dawdle in front of your eyes.
If you want to find me, I will be there too.
Such a gentle attitude made Zhu Feng's cold heart feel a bit of worldly warmth. He looked at Nanyan for a while, and then said: "You have been tired for a long time, take a good rest."
This sentence "I have been tired for a long time" is very heavy.
Nan Yan looked at him for a while, then said softly: "... yes."
She nodded and backed away.
As soon as she exited, the gate of Yanchun Pavilion was closed immediately.
Xiao Shunzi was guarding the door, trying to persuade all the concubines to go back to their respective palaces and wait for news, the queen also ordered everyone to go back to their respective places.
The queen herself is also preparing to return to the Yonghe Palace.
Before she left, she looked back at Nan Yan again, and said, "Sister, you—"
Nan Yan said: "I will wait here at the side hall first, if there is nothing wrong, I will go back to Yikun Palace."
Xu Miaoyin nodded and said: "This matter has made my sister bother. I am afraid that the emperor will listen to your words now. If he is too sad, my sister will persuade me more."
"yes."
"By the way, about Feng Qianyan..."
Speaking of this, Xu Miaoyin herself hesitated.
She knew that Nanyan Bingxue was smart, so she might not be able to see that she was waiting for Xu Miaoyin to give birth to a prince so that she would have a future. As for Feng Qianyan, it was never in her plan.
It's just a little embarrassing to say it now.
Nan Yan was calm and said with a smile: "Her crimes have been revealed, as long as the Ministry of Punishment announces the canonical punishment, I will have nothing to say."
"It's natural."
"Also, it's the imperial physician—"
"Of course he won't let go lightly. I have already sent someone to arrest him."
As she spoke, Xu Miaoyin patted her hand: "You have suffered a lot these days."
"Where, my concubine dare not speak bitterly."
Xu Miaoyin sighed softly, turned and left.
As soon as she left, Nan Yan stood on the steps. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw another figure approaching her.
"Ma'am."
Looking down, it was Wei Wang Zhu Chengxuan.
He looked at himself gratefully, but at this moment, probably due to lingering fear, his face was still pale.
Nan Yan walked down with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong with King Wei, do you have something to say to Bengong?"
"me… "
As they talked, they walked forward, and when they reached the small road, King Wei knelt down to Nanyan and said, "Thank you, Concubine, Empress!"
"Oh, what are you doing?"
As Nan Yan said, she hastily stretched out her hand to help him up.
Zhu Chengxuan's eyes were a little red: "Thank you, Ma'am, for saving me."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's you who saved yourself."
The child is already grown up, so he doesn't need to speak too clearly. Of course, Zhu Chengxuan also knows that if Nan Yan pays so much attention to the things in the Yanchun Pavilion, he may have already thought of a way to escape. At that time, if he was selfish , and framed her in order to get rid of the crime, I am afraid that this is not the case now.
Speaking of it, it is indeed - to save yourself.
Zhu Chengxuan said: "I can tell that my father, the emperor, seems to have the same thoughts."
"..."
"He won't let the empress be wronged."
"..."
Hearing this sentence, Nan Yan's expression froze slightly, she just smiled faintly, and didn't say much.
At this time, Xinping came together again.
Seeing her, Nan Yan felt a little emotional, especially because a little princess just died inside. These two children made her feel that life and death in this palace are impermanent, and it is already a very good thing to survive.
She said to Zhu Chengxuan: "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go back and rest."
"yes."
"Take my sister back and give it to the nannies. Don't play too late."
"My son knows."
Zhu Chengxuan thought for a while, and then asked: "Is your empress going to stay here?"
Nan Yan glanced back at Yanchun Pavilion, and only nodded. Zhu Chengxuan's eyes flashed a gleam of joy, as if he felt that the relationship between her and the emperor had eased, and he left happily.
After watching her leave, Nan Yan turned her head away, and Eunuch Yu came forward and asked her to rest in the side hall.
Nan Yan looked up, and there was already a light on the side hall.
Nod your head and pass by.
While walking, he couldn't help sighing again, and said like an exclamation: "These children seem to be alive and kicking, and now it seems that the lives of each of them, in this place, are like a miracle. "
"..."
"How innocent is a child, he was born in heaven."
"..."
Hearing her exclamation, Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "Madam, are you also sad for that child?"
"Aren't you sad?"
"This—" Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Although this servant hates Feng Qianyan, it is a small life after all, and this servant also..."
Nan Yan chuckled lightly, although there was bitterness in the smile, there was also a bit of relief.
"Ma'am?"
"Don't worry, do you think that if you feel sorry for that child, I will be unhappy?"
"..."
"I'm not unhappy, in fact, I'm sad."
"..."
"No matter who the mother of the child is, it is a small life after all, not to mention anything that hurts its kind. The most important thing that makes a human being different from a beast is the heart of four ends. For such a small life, It is the heart of compassion that can still feel sorrow even when hatred is entangled."
Having said that, she glanced at Ran Xiaoyu.
He smiled in his heart and said: Although you usually talk like a bully, you are still very gentle in your heart.
"Um?"
"A person with such a heart is a human being."
"..."
Having said that, she sighed, and looked at the closed door of Yanchun Pavilion again.
Even they will feel heartache, Zhu Feng at this moment, I don't know how his heart is pierced like a knife
She sighed and walked slowly into the side hall.
This place has already been tidied up, the stove is burning, the quilts on the bed are all ready, even the seat cushions have just been replaced, they are brand new and soft, Nan Yan sat down and sighed a little.
But the brows were still furrowed.
Ran Xiaoyu poured her a cup of tea and said in a puzzled way: "Your Majesty, since—" She originally wanted to say that she didn't intend to reconcile with the emperor, but it was hard to say, so she just skipped it, and continued: " Why are you waiting here again?"
"..."
Nan Yan fell silent.
His gaze gradually became sharper.
Ran Xiaoyu also felt something, and said, "What's wrong?"
Nan Yandao: "Just now, did you see that?"
