Nan Yan was taken aback by him.
But he could clearly feel his fiery chest rising and falling violently, pressing on her body, even making her a little suffocated.
She stammered, "Then—"
"..."
Zhu Feng looked at her, and after a long time, he calmed down his heavy panting, and let out a long sigh.
"I," he said, "just want you—"
"..."
"Just stay here."
"..."
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes in a daze, and felt that his hands that were clasping her wrists were slowly loosened, and she also lay down beside her.
A hand embraced her.
She was in a trance, and somewhat understood.
He wanted to stay by himself and be with him.
That's all.
Feeling his breath blowing on her face and ears, Nan Yan blushed slightly, she turned her head and looked at the stern face that was close at hand.
Above, full of tiredness.
These days, I can't sleep day and night.
Maybe, these days, he hasn't had a good rest either.
The two looked at each other like this, and could almost see their own reflections reflected in each other's pupils.
Nan Yan was quiet for a long time, then said softly: "Yes."
"..."
Zhu Feng didn't speak any more, but slowly closed his eyes.
He really just rested like this.
After a while, his breathing became even and prolonged.
Already asleep.
Nan Yan couldn't fall asleep. Seeing his tired face, she stretched out her hand and gently caressed that face.
His skin is rough, it was polished in the wind, frost, rain and snow in the north for more than ten years.
But it didn't affect his handsomeness at all, on the contrary, it made him more manly, like a rock, giving people a feeling that they could completely rely on him.
She could see it, and couldn't move her eyes.
After an unknown period of time, tiredness hit her, and she slowly leaned her face close to his forehead.
I closed my eyes.

They spent the next days on the boat.
Everyone paid attention every day, and gradually discovered that although the relationship between the emperor and the imperial concubine was not as smooth as it was during the period just after the canonization, it was more or less relaxed.
There is no more cold war.
After all, every night, the imperial concubine stayed in the emperor's cabin.
But only Nanyan knows—
Zhu Feng really didn't touch her.
After a few days, his seasickness eased a lot, and he was able to walk on the deck during the day to see the scenery, and his energy recovered a lot.
Nan Yan knew very well how energetic this man was.
However, he didn't force her when she was worried, he just hugged her every night, and they hugged each other to sleep.
All the calm and indifference during the day seems to disappear at night.
The two of them did not return to the sweetness of the period after the canonization, but Nan Yan felt inexplicably that sleeping in each other's arms every night, listening to his heartbeat, seemed to be closer.
This morning, after breakfast, they were on deck again.
Looking at the picturesque scenery of mountains and rivers around her, Nan Yan felt a little heavier than before.
Their ship has been away for seven days.
Every one or two days, the front will send back messages, but there has been no progress.
Those countrymen were just sailing.
Could it be that they guessed wrong before
They were going all the way north along this canal, and if that was the case, it would be easy to guess.
Because the end of the canal is Peiping!
Do they want to take their grandmother to the country
At this time, Zhu Feng ordered an attendant to prepare a map, and then brought Nan Yan to a large cabin.
Here, it's like a lobby.
On a large table, there is a map of the waters in the vicinity.
He walked over, looked at the complicated waterways above, and seemed to be thinking about where the destination of those people from the country was.
Nan Yan was also watching from the side.
Suddenly, a servant hurried over and said a few words to Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng's expression changed, he took the secret letter from the servant and ran over immediately.
"emperor!"
Zhu Feng turned around: "What?"
"An urgent secret message sent back from the front."
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately moved over nervously.
Zhu Feng hurriedly took the letter, opened it for a look, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he wrinkled it immediately.
Nan Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how are you doing?"
Zhu Feng said solemnly: "They have indeed changed course."
"Oh? Where did they go?"
"..."
Zhu Feng glanced at her, as if he knew that even if he said it, she would not understand. He looked down at the map on the table and pointed out: "They have transferred here."
Nan Yan immediately bent down to look.
This Grand Canal is a main road on the map, and many other tributaries and waters are interspersed on this main road.
And what Zhu Feng pointed to was a river in front of them not far away now.
a big river.
Moreover, it is a big river that is very close to the edge of the map.
Nan Yan murmured: "They turned to this river, what are they doing?"
Is there anything special about that river
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "They probably want to use this river to go to another water body."
"Another body of water?"
Nan Yan listened, and subconsciously followed the road to the northwest of the map.
Map, gone.
She hurriedly turned her head to look at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, this—"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "I don't have the map on that side yet."
"No?"
Nan Yan was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the emperor keep the most detailed maps of all parts of the country? Why, he didn't
Nan Yan said: "Then, does anyone else have it?"
Zhu Feng shook his head.
Since the emperor didn't have one either, it's impossible for anyone else to have one either.
Nan Yan was even more surprised.
If this place is located at the border, then it is understandable without a map, but this place is the center of Yan Kingdom, how could there be no map here
Nan Yan faintly felt something was wrong.
She asked, "Then, where is the upper reaches of this river?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said, "The upper reaches of this river is Xingluo Lake."
"Xingluo Lake?"
This seems to be the first time she has heard of it.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "It's a very big lake, like the sea. There are nearly a thousand islands dotted in the lake. The big ones have a radius of tens of miles, and the small ones are only big enough to stand on one foot."
"..."
"Also, the weather in this place is very variable."
"..."
"It's sunny in the morning, and it can be choppy at noon."
"..."
"So, no one has thoroughly figured out this place."
"..."
"As a result, there has never been a map of this place."
