"He said that although he was sent to me by the prince, he didn't reveal a single word about me to the prince or to Jinling."
"Why?"
"I also asked him why."
"..."
"He said, because when I first arrived in Beiping, I rescued a child from the army. That child was his long-lost brother."
Nan Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"he-"
"When I first arrived in Beiping, the army was very chaotic and disorderly. At that time, prostitutes were not allowed in the army. Those commanders even asked Ren Yazi to buy some very young boys, intending to pretend to be recruits. In the army, but in fact, it is a show boy for them to play with."
"..."
"Fortunately, I found out about this when I was inspecting military affairs, and immediately rescued those children, punished the commander in chief of the army, and released those children."
"..."
"One of them was very young. He told me that he was a vagrant and homeless. Even if he was sent back, he was just wandering on the street. He might die of cold and hunger in two days. He asked me Take him in, stay in the army to fight, and be loyal to the country."
"..."
"At least, give him a way to survive."
"..."
"I will keep him and keep him by my side."
Nan Yan's voice trembled slightly: "He is—"
"He is Ye Zheng."
"Then, Ye Quan is his—"
"That's right. Ye Quan told me that not long after he arrived in Beiping, he discovered that Ye Zheng was his long-lost brother."
Nan Yan's throat was choked, and he said softly: "Then, did he recognize Ye Zheng?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Later, I found an opportunity to ask Ye Zheng. He couldn't remember clearly what happened when he was a child; he only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have an older brother, but one time, when his older brother took him out to play, he messed with him. lost."
"..."
"So, before being recruited into the army by Ren Yazi, he had been wandering on the streets and suffered for many years."
Nan Yan understood.
Ye Quan felt guilty all the time.
When YouQi came to Peiping and saw his younger brother almost became a Xiutong and was thrown into the army, one can imagine the guilt in his heart.
Naturally, he didn't have the courage to recognize his younger brother.
Therefore, as his younger brother's benefactor, he also regarded Zhu Feng as his own benefactor. Even though he was a secret agent sent to King Yan, he never leaked a word from the beginning to the end.
Nan Yan looked up at the sky above her head, the originally clear and bright starry sky became blurred in her vision at this moment.
Feeling the warmth flowing from the corner of her eyes, she realized that she was crying.
She said softly: "That Ye Zheng, do you know about this?"
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, then gently shook his head in her arms.
"he does not know."
"..."
"I, I can't say it!"
After saying this, a warm and moist feeling soaked into Nan Yan's body through his clothes.
She knew how painful it was for the man covering her body.
He couldn't say it.
It was his own recklessness that caused Ye Quan to die in the Great Wall Moat, and this place became his lifelong nightmare.
Nan Yan said softly: "It's fine if you don't tell him. It's fine..."
Looking at Ye Zheng now, he is laughing and joking every day, he can face all difficulties with a smile, and he can also do what he wants to do by Zhu Feng's side, isn't it great to have such a life
No wonder Zhu Feng was so tolerant of him.
Many times, Ye Zheng's words to him, and even his attitude towards him, have exceeded the scope of a subordinate, a confidant's duties, but Zhu Feng only scares him verbally, and never really gets angry with him.
It was also because there was Ye Quan between the two of them.
However, there is another person in Nanyan's heart, a person who is almost a haze—
Concubine Ning Qin Ruolan.
What role does she play in this
Before he died, Ye Quan said that he did not go to Jinling to pass any news about King Yan to the prince, but Zhu Feng's every move at that time was indeed under surveillance.
Then, who reported Zhu Feng's every move to the people in Jinling
Nan Yan never forgot that Qin Ruolan's father was Qin Zhengqi.
It's the young master of the prince!
It's a delicate, but dangerous line.
Nan Yan wanted to ask, but, feeling that Zhu Feng was trembling slightly, she couldn't ask.
Telling this matter was already a big blow to him.
No wonder, he never mentioned the Great Wall. No wonder, that nightmare has been haunting him. For a person with his character, that defeat—in fact, it was not a defeat at all, but a complete and complete defeat when he was just a fledgling. Failure is the biggest stain in life.
Ordinary people, after being hit like this, are afraid that they will be devastated.
What's more, Zhu Feng is such a stubborn person.
It was already very difficult for him to stand up.
Now, in front of Nan Yan, he wanted to tell his unspeakable past. For him, wouldn't it be another torment
Nanyan couldn't ask.
She could only hug him and say softly, "Your Majesty, everything is over."
"..."
"Even if it's a nightmare, it's just a dream, it's fake."
"..."
"I am real."
"..."
"I'm here, I'm by your side."
After saying this, I immediately felt that the hands holding her were stronger. She heard Zhu Feng choked up, took a deep breath, and after a long time, she let out a deep "hmm".
Nan Yan stretched out her hand, stroking his slightly undulating back, and stopped talking.

One night, the chaos passed.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, the sun was already shining brightly.
Nan Yan stretched out her hand in confusion to cover her eyes, but the dazzling sunlight still made her burst into tears the moment she opened her eyes.
Xiaoyu's voice came from beside him: "Ma'am, you're awake."
"...?"
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked around, seeing that Zhu Feng was no longer by her side.
She hurriedly sat up from the felt, but she was a little dizzy because she got up too fast, and almost fell back again. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu, who was kneeling by the side, quickly reached out to support her.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine."
Nan Yan stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, frowning slightly.
what happened
Recently, either my body is weak or my hair is dizzy.
I am obviously so strong, why have I become a little sick these two days.
However, in the grassland in the morning, the air is fresh, the tip of the grass is covered with dew, and a gust of moist breeze is blowing, which still makes people feel very comfortable. Nanyan took a few deep breaths, and her whole body is much more awake.
Supported by Ran Xiaoyu, she slowly stood up and looked around: "Where's the emperor?"
