"emperor……"

After saying these two words, Qin Ruolan could no longer speak, and just stood blankly at the door, looking at the man in front of her who had not seen each other for several years but had never been forgotten by her.

Zhu Feng glanced at her.

Although he has always been very calm on the way he came, even now he is very calm.

But at that moment, the heavy feeling in his heart could not deceive others.

Even, he had a little difficulty breathing.

But after taking a deep breath, he spoke slowly and said in a deep voice: "Let me go in and sit."

“…”

Qin Ruolan trembled again, as if she had just come to her senses. She hurriedly turned to the side and Zhu Feng walked in from her. But Qin Ruolan did not follow him immediately, but turned around in panic and looked out.

In the cold palace, as every night she knew, it was pitch black and silent.

Only a jade father-in-law stood in the distance, holding a lantern in his hand, but he did not get close to him.

Qin Ruolan took a deep breath, closed the door, and walked in.

The room was the same as outside. Although it was simple, it was simple and clean. There was a curtain hanging on the bed, and a thin quilt was a little messy. It was obvious that she had just settled down and was woken up by the sounds outside and got up.

However, this is a cold palace after all.

Apart from simple and clean, there is not much furniture. Apart from a dilapidated wardrobe that is used to place some home-cooked things, there is only a table and two chairs in the center of the house.

On the table, there are teapots and cups that are missing.

Zhu Feng walked over and sat at the table.

If the emperor arrived at another person's palace, he would definitely treat him with tea immediately. However, Qin Ruolan had been with him for so many years and the two had been together. She might not be the one who knows Zhu Feng best, but she had also known him.

She didn't do that.

I just took the candlestick in my hand, placed it in the center of the table, and then sat opposite Zhu Feng.

Her eyes seemed to be stuck, and she kept looking at his face until she found that Zhu Feng's face was a little pale. She seemed to remember something, and looked down at Zhu Feng's chest.

Zhu Feng seemed to have noticed her gaze as well.

He said: "You know?"

Qin Ruolan said: "Does it still hurt?"

“…”

Zhu Feng took a deep breath.

She really knew.

He said, "Who told you, that nanny just now?"

“…”

"Are you still asking about something outside?"

Qin Ruolan said: "I didn't ask about other things. I knew I was already in the cold palace, so I shouldn't ask about the outside world anymore. However, when something big happened a while ago, Madam Su was worried that the cold palace would be affected, so she came to me and told me to be careful not to be harmed by the evil people who slipped into the harem. After I asked in detail, I realized the emperor."

Speaking of this, she looked up at Zhu Feng again.

"Master, does it still hurt?"

“…”

"Is this injury okay?"

Zhu Feng looked down at his chest, thought for a while, and then said, "It cracked again before. Because Xinqing passed away, I was in pain, but fortunately, the people from the Imperial Hospital handled it properly. Xuan'er... He secretly prepared some medicine and let Xiao Shunzi mix in the injury medicine prepared for me by the Imperial Hospital. I used it, it was very good."

Qin Ruolan looked at him in surprise.

You know, Zhu Feng has always hated Zhu Chengxuan, not only hates him, but also hates him for studying medicine.

But this time, he actually called Zhu Chengxuan "Xuan'er". This was almost a love name she had never heard of since she gave birth to Zhu Chengxuan. Moreover, Zhu Feng was not angry at Zhu Chengxuan's medication.

She murmured in surprise: "Master..."

Zhu Feng also knew what she was surprised.

He knew from beginning to end that Xiao Shunzi was brave enough to hide his drug use. Of course, if he had known that the child was doing those things again, he would definitely be angry.

But this time, he didn't.

The knife that calcite stabbed him made him seriously injured and dying, as if the wound of the knife made his heart, which was originally as hard as iron, soft.

He no longer had paranoid anger.

From these little things, you can feel the filial piety and caution of this child over the years.

I think that his resentment towards Emperor Gao for so many years has made him unintentionally become another "Gao Emperor".

He put all the grievances he had suffered on this child.

Therefore, he knew that this child's character was the most suitable person to become an emperor in his future and to be a benevolent monarch who could appease the people with benevolent politics, but he still repeatedly regretted it.

He would rather choose Zhu Chengjun, who is only one year old and not even able to become a talent, than choose Zhu Chengxuan, who is now in front of him.

After all, it is jealousy in the heart.

He was vaguely jealous of this child.

Because I was by my side, there was only Qin Ruolan who had been calculating me from beginning to end, but now Zhu Chengxuan has a sincere and gentle Gu Qiqing around me.

And Si Nanyan.

Although this throne does not belong to Zhu Chengjun, after so many arrangements, Si Nanyan is still willing to give up the selfishness that human nature should have and choose to give Zhu Chengxuan a fairness.

But I never got such fairness back then.

But now, after this assassination that almost made him dying, he finally chose to calm his mind. Perhaps, he also wanted to give others some fairness.

If you don’t get it yourself, it doesn’t mean you should deprive it.

It is precisely because we have not received fairness and have suffered such grievances that we should eliminate such injustice and prevent more people from suffering such grievances.

Zhu Feng slowly raised his eyes in the flashing candlelight, looked at Qin Ruolan, and said, "Don't be surprised."

“…”

"I will no longer be so strict with Xuan'er. He is a good child. In the past so many years, I have caused him to suffer a lot of grievances."

“…”

"I'm here, I want to thank you."

“…”

"No matter what happened at the beginning, whether I was willing or not, you finally gave me a good son."

Qin Ruolan looked at him blankly.

While my heart was stirred, I felt a little surprised.

Why did Zhu Feng suddenly say this to himself on such a night?

Was it just because he was injured?

When he met Qin Ruolan's puzzled gaze, Zhu Feng's expression was still faint, and he said, "Although this injury is nothing now, I know that it will be difficult to protect it for a long time if it hurts the heart."

“…”

"I am the king of a country. I must not do it for the sake of being behind me and not for the entire Great Yan Dynasty."

“…”
