When Qin Ruolan finished that sentence, there was a sudden gust of wind outside, and Nan Yan heard the door rattle, as if her heart was at this moment.
Jumping around.
She couldn't believe her ears, but she seemed to feel that it should be so.
Staring blankly at Qin Ruolan, after an unknown amount of time, she said inexplicably, "What did you say?"
"..."
Seeing her face suddenly pale, Qin Ruolan became quiet again.
She looked at Nan Yan calmly, and said word by word: "King Wei, he is my son."
"..."
"He is my son."
"..."
Nan Yan stood up from the chair, took two steps to the side in a panic, stopped suddenly, turned around and walked back, looked down at Qin Ruolan: "You said, King Wei is your son? He—"
"He, not long after he was born, was handed over to Princess Yan, the empress, to raise him."
"..."
"The queen is his aunt."
"..."
"And I'm nobody."
Nan Yan only felt that her heartbeat was in a mess.
Indeed, there should be only one reason for this matter.
Xu Miaoyin was unable to raise another child because of the accident at the time, so asking her to adopt a son is the most common thing in the palace for ordinary wealthy families; and Qin Ruolan, who was a side concubine in the Yan Palace back then, when her child was born, Not being able to stay around is also very common.
In fact, it was very rare for Zhu Feng to keep Xiao Anping by his side all the time.
But-
Nan Yan only felt that her mind was in a mess. She looked at Qin Ruolan with tangled and conflicted eyes. After a long time, she said, "Why?"
After asking these three words, she herself felt a little inexplicable.
what why
Why is the Zhu Chengxuan she gave birth to Xu Miaoyin? Or why, she couldn't get close to Zhu Chengxuan all these years? Or, why did Zhu Feng never say a word about this matter.
He didn't even mean to tell himself.
Also, if it is true as Qin Ruolan said, there was a sweet and beautiful past between them, and if she was as special to Zhu Feng as she is now, then the child she gave birth to, especially a son, She should also be able to get Zhu Feng's love.
Why, he doesn't like Zhu Chengxuan so much.
Too many doubts flooded into her mind in an instant, and even Nan Yan felt that she could hear those noisy voices in her ears, as if countless people were asking questions.
And those voices seemed to be their own.
She stared at Qin Ruolan, and asked again: "Why?"
"..."
Qin Ruolan's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
She looked at her, and after a long time, she said, "Because, it's me, I'm sorry for him."
Nan Yan's heart trembled again.
She was talking about Zhu Feng.
Is she sorry Zhu Feng
Nan Yan only felt that her voice was trembling. She stretched out her hand to support the armrest of the chair, and slowly sat back in the chair, then looked down at her, and said, "You said, are you sorry for the emperor?"
"yes."
"What did you do to apologize to him?"
Qin Ruolan lowered her head, her face, which was originally as beautiful as peaches and plums, was already pale without a trace of blood at this moment.
Her voice was also low, as if it came from the bottom of her heart.
"The imperial concubine knows that my father, Qin Zhengqi, was a scholar of Dongge University in the reign of Emperor Gao, and... the prince's young teacher."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan frowned.
"Of course I do," she said.
Qin Ruolan said: "My father supported the prince."
Just this one sentence seems to explain everything.
The prince of Emperor Gao's first dynasty, that is, Zhu Feng's eldest brother, is the most favored by Emperor Gao. No matter where Emperor Gao goes, he will take him with him and teach him how to deal with government affairs. Every letter to him has been preserved to this day. , every word and every sentence above is teaching him according to the norms of a Mingjun.
And Qin Zhengqi, the founding hero, became the prince's young teacher, taught the prince, and gave him a double insurance.
Qin Ruolan said: "At that time, Emperor Gao had many heirs, but he didn't have any doubts about the choice of the crown prince. It's just—"
"Just what?"
"It's just that, His Majesty... he still has something dazzling and extraordinary."
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Of course."
In fact, for a person like him, no matter what time and environment he is, he is dazzling. This is the essence of a person and cannot be erased.
The other younger brothers either had no intention of taking the throne, or had already understood Emperor Gao's mind, or had been defeated in some previous actions. At that time, the only one who could fight for it was Zhu Feng.
Nan Yan said: "If he is dazzling, if he wants to compete, he is a threat to others."
"..."
"And your lord, as the prince's young teacher, must protect the prince."
"..."
"Of course he's going to... confront the emperor, isn't he?"
"..."
"And what method is he going to use to confront the Emperor who was still the King of Yan at that time?" Nan Yan said, slowly looking at the beauty in front of him, and said: "The beauty trick is the best way to use it." ,Yeah?"
Qin Ruolan lowered her head.
And this move of hers is undoubtedly the default.
Nan Yan stared at her, and said word by word: "What did you do to him?"
"..."
"Why do not you speak?"
"..."
Qin Ruolan was silent for a long time, so silent that the whole room seemed to be surrounded by that dull atmosphere, making it hard to breathe.
She said dryly: "I, I can't say it."
When she said this, she shrank slightly. You must know that she usually has a graceful appearance and is a beauty who walked out of the painting, but now, she looks like she is being whipped with a whip.
His voice was trembling: "It was me who hurt him."
"..."
"I know he won't forgive me. All these years, he has hated me and won't forgive me."
"..."
"So, I, too, have nothing to say."
Having said that, she raised her head, stared at Nan Yan with red eyes, and said, "But, the child is innocent."
"..."
"Concubine, I know you are not a narrow-minded person, no matter what we have been, but King Wei is innocent."
"..."
"I don't think about anything now, I just want to save my child!"
Nan Yan's face was already pale.
Although she didn't suffer any harm, it seemed that what Qin Ruolan said tonight was that she had hurt Zhu Feng, and the fact that she was tortured by herself all these years obviously had nothing to do with her.
But why, does she feel so much pain
There seemed to be a knife piercing my heart.
