Chapter 3188 Tired out of the old state
Although she has been favored for nearly ten years since the enthronement, but—
Will people's hearts really change?
Although Zhu Chengxuan did not say this sentence, the contradictory expression on his face and the entangled expression in his eyes had already made the sentence clear. Nan Yan chuckled and said, "How can human hearts remain unchanged?"
“…”
"Of course, people's hearts will change."
Zhu Chengxuan said: "That empress--"
Nan Yan said: "What Your Highness just worried about is that the emperor's heart will change, but why not worry that my heart may change one day?"
When Zhu Chengxuan heard this, he was shocked.
Indeed, he only thought that one day his father would change, but he never thought that the concubine in front of him, the concubine who had always been his strong backing, might change even the concubine who was deeply in love with his deceased mother.
Seeing that Zhu Chengxuan couldn't speak, Nan Yan smiled calmly and said, "People will change, they can't tell who will change in the future, nor can they tell what the world will become after the change."
“…”
"So, I don't think about future events."
“…”
"Now, I have such a heart. Just doing things like this, at least I am worthy of myself now."
Zhu Chengxuan's heart seemed to be surging, and the heat rushed up, making his eyes red. He was silent for a long time before he said to Nan Yan in a mute voice: "I believe the Empress will not change."
“…”
"I also believe that when I am with the Queen, my father will not change."
“…”
"I, I don't want to change either."
Hearing these a little childish words, Nan Yan narrowed her eyes so much that she smiled.
She reached out to dust Zhu Chengxuan's shoulders, helped him remove some falling snow, and said with a smile: "There are naturally the benefits of not changing, but this cannot be used as an excuse not to grow up or improve."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan immediately understood what she meant and blushed.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Highness cannot be childish. If a benevolent and successful monarch leads to the end, he will definitely be deceived and used by the treacherous villain. Therefore, your Highness is right to grow up, and you have to grow up sooner, so that your father can breathe a sigh of relief sooner."
As she said that, she looked up and looked forward.
Zhu Feng, who was playing with his children, looked very happy, but Nan Yan knew in his heart that Zhu Feng could eat at most a bowl of rice in a meal, but only barely ate after her persuasion. He rarely slept until dawn. Most of the time, he woke up in the middle of the night, holding her sleeping soundly, silently looking out the night outside the window until dawn came.
Although he is not old yet, he is indeed very tired and has become old.
As if he felt her gaze, Zhu Feng turned around and looked at them while playing with his two children, and said with a smile: "What are you still watching? Don't you know how to come here to help?"
His two children had thrown a lot of snow balls on his body, and even his eyebrows turned white.
Nan Yan immediately walked over with a smile: "Who are you helping?"
Xinping shouted: "Help me help me, mother help me beat my father!"
"good,"
Nan Yan smiled and rubbed a ball of snow. As soon as he walked to her, he suddenly stuck on her face. He was suddenly dyed into a little white-haired monkey. She screamed loudly and hurriedly called her brother to come and help. Zhu Chengxuan also ran up with a smile, so the family of five fought together, and the laughter kept echoing over the imperial city.
This time, the emperor and the imperial concubine struggled so much in the south. After finally returning to the capital, they naturally had to be honest with the censors and envoys. Zhu Feng was annoyed by them for a long time, but he knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only endure it. So for a long time after that, they stayed quietly in the imperial city and never took a step out of the palace.
Fortunately, Zhu Chengjin's big event was resolved, so they didn't have to go out to do anything anymore.
About two months later, news came from Jinling that Ye Zheng took Ran Xiaoyu to head for Zhoushan. Four months later, news came from Zhoushan and the fleet went out to sea.
The fleet this time was not large, but there were four large ships, seven small ships, and hundreds of people were traveling together.
Moreover, although Ye Zheng went to sea to find Zhu Chengjin's whereabouts, he could not say that on the surface. After all, Zhu Feng sent an unknown body to the imperial tomb shortly after returning to the capital, but no formal tomb was built, and he was buried casually far from the tomb of Emperor Gao.
He did not make any statement about this matter, nor did he deliberately conceal it.
So, the news spread very quickly.
Generally, if the court gives a conclusion on such a thing, the people may still guess, but because of this vague behavior, the people believe in the fact that the nameless corpse must have been the rebellion in the south before, causing a lot of controversy.
So, Zhu Chengjin is really "dead".
In this way, some remaining forces left by Zhu Chengjin in Yan Country completely cut off the idea of rebellion after hearing this news.
Ye Zheng went out to sea, so naturally he could not say that he was looking for Zhu Chengjin. Like Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian when he went to the Western Regions, he found many caravans to accompany him, and used the money Zhu Feng left him to buy a lot of silk, tea, and porcelain to go out to sea with a huge momentum, called the Yuanbo Dayan Dynasty's reputation and culture.
Zhu Feng, who received this news, locked himself in the imperial study room.
A whole night.
It was difficult for Nanyan to go in and disturb him, and he would not let others disturb him. He just went over and took a look from time to time. There was no sound in the Yu Study room until dawn. Zhu Feng opened the door and walked out.
Nan Yan waited early and then outside. Seeing his red eyes, he walked forward with great distress: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked at her haggardly and smiled a little.
"I'm fine."
In fact, I had known that I had to part. The reason why Zhu Feng decided to leave first was because he was afraid of experiencing helplessness. But he didn't expect that what he should have experienced could not escape.
But, after the pain, it passes.
Although Ye Zheng poached a piece of his heart, he still had to live for the country and country in front of him, for the little woman who felt sorry for him and trembled all over, and for his lovely children.
So he forced himself to cheer up and even went to the morning court.
He was busy until noon before returning to Yonghe Palace. Nanyan served him and ate something without appetite. Then he ordered everyone around him to go down and let Zhu Feng sleep.
Zhu Feng was lying on the couch beside the bed, closing his eyes. Nan Yan thought he was asleep, so he gently slapped him with a round fan.
