"You two are really a headache."
"..."
As soon as Nan Yan heard it, she knew that he was talking about herself and Zhu Feng.
Feeling a little heavier, he said, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Zheng pulled out the stool and sat down, said with a wry smile: "The imperial concubine does not think about food and drink here, and the emperor does not stick his teeth with water and rice over there."
"..."
"If you are like this, do you want us little people to have no place to live?"
"..."
"The empress has called me over and scolded me. If the emperor can't let the emperor eat anymore, she should tear me up and eat me."
"...!"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Empress
That's right, as the lord of the harem and the empress of the world, she may not be able to control government affairs, but she must consider the emperor's dragon body and health.
So, she scares Ye Zheng
Nan Yan subconsciously said: "Does the Empress know what happened?"
Ye Zheng smiled: "This harem is the empress's harem, what is there that she doesn't know?"
"Then, why didn't she go to persuade the emperor herself?"
"..."
"Instead of letting you—"
"What do you say?"
Ye Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Nan Yan.
Under the candlelight, his handsome face showed a bit of cunning.
But the gaze seemed very deep.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Ye Zheng picked up the chopsticks on his own, took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and said: "Imperial Concubine, I might as well explain to you clearly."
"..."
"At the beginning, the emperor was very unwelcoming to the emperor."
"..."
This, of course Nanyan knew.
His own son was sent to a place as bitter and cold as Beiping, and what he faced was the iron cavalry of the country that could engulf that area at any time.
What's more, back then, the soldiers and horses of the Tan Kingdom were more brave than they are now, and Beiping did not have the steel city wall that Zhu Feng spent more than ten years training.
At that time, he was really in danger.
Ye Zheng said: "I followed him until today, and I have experienced more than any ordinary old man in his 60s or 70s."
"..."
"Not to mention him?"
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly.
certainly.
Ordinary people will not experience the struggle in the harem, will not experience the tempering of war, and will not even experience that their father is wary of themselves and set up obstacles to stop them, let alone experience the human tragedy of competing with their nephews for the world .
The Zhu Feng I saw was just a surface.
In other words, what he saw to himself was only his intact side.
It may be unimaginable how many traumas there are behind him.
Ye Zheng said: "Ordinary people would not be willing to expose their own scars, let alone him?"
"..."
"Even if ordinary people uncover the scars, what they face is nothing but pain."
"..."
"But he is more than just in pain."
Ye Zheng looked into Nan Yan's eyes, and said seriously: "Why didn't the empress personally persuade me, but let me find a way."
"..."
"Concubine, you should have some calculations in your heart."
"..."
At this moment, Nan Yan somewhat understood.
Because the queen knows that there are some things that even a person like her who has been with him for so many years cannot ask.
But I asked myself.
Moreover, it was asked in such a rude manner.
Nan Yan said softly: "So, you want to say, I was wrong?"
Ye Zheng looked at her for a while, then said, "Maybe you are right."
"..."
"It's just that the road you're walking on is very difficult."
"..."
"Your majesty can build a city of Beiping so strong that even the cavalry of the country can't destroy it."
"..."
"Then how thick is the wall he built in his heart?"
Nan Yan didn't speak.
He just frowned, looking at the flickering candlelight in front of him, his thoughts became more and more deep.
Ye Zheng stood up and said: "Imperial Concubine, you treat the emperor—the emperor treats you, it is indeed different."
"..."
"But how to use this difference, I think, you should think carefully."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Nan Yan said, "Wait a minute, where is the emperor now?"
"Still in the royal study."
"..."
"It looks like we're going to stay all night again."
Ye Zheng glanced at her intentionally, and said with a half-smile: "It's just like last night."
Nan Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Last night, Your Majesty last night—"
"The emperor stayed in the imperial study room last night."
"..."
Nan Yan couldn't help but her face became hot.
She thought that Zhu Feng was with Qin Ruolan in Yanxi Palace last night.
Therefore, she "suffocated" herself all night, and when Zhu Feng came, her attitude towards him was no longer the usual.
But it turned out—
I was wronged by him.
But now it seems that this incident is actually just a trivial matter, and the real haze in Zhu Feng's heart is completely unknown to him.
After all, as an emperor, it is normal for him to favor Concubine Ning.
After going there, he left again and stayed in the imperial study for the whole night.
This is not normal.
Nan Yan also stood up subconsciously, but because she sat 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 while, and said, "For tonight, let's forget it."
"..."
"Your Majesty, take a good rest and meet again when both of you are more awake."
"However, I have one more thing to report to the emperor."
"What?"
Nan Yan said: "Tomorrow is the day when I return to Ning to visit my relatives. 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 lightly, and said, "You also know the letter on the canonization ceremony."
"certainly."
"It was left by my father and kept by my grandmother."
"..."
"But in fact, nothing was explained."
"..."
"Whose daughter am I? Why did my father bring me back from Tan Kingdom to Yan Kingdom? There are many other things that I don't know."
"..."
"So, I want to go back and ask my grandmother to see if there are any clues at home that will allow me to figure out my own life experience."
Ye Zheng nodded: "Well, it should be."
He looked at Nanyan and said with a complicated expression: "Anyone who knows nothing about his past will probably be at a loss."
"..."
"How about this, I will go and tell the emperor for you."
"..."
"Your Majesty, he will definitely agree."
Nan Yan nodded lightly: "Okay. Then I will go to see the emperor tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Ye Zheng turned and left.
And Nan Yan, with a heavy heart, walked slowly to the bedside and sat down.
In the room, the flickering candles were constantly flickering, illuminating the Yikun Palace in a dim light.
And Zhu Feng—
How deep is the haze in his heart
