"Cough cough, cough cough cough..."

Violent coughs continued to sound, and even the howling cold wind could not cover it up. However, the person coughing was trying his best to cover up the pain that burned his lungs and liver, and was about to break his throat. However, this kind of depression made him

The coughing sound became heavier, making his pain even more obvious.

The people around who heard this all showed worried and even painful expressions.

Even if they had no medical knowledge, they knew that Zhu Feng could not go on any longer.

And Aunt Tongyun, who was standing at the door of the royal tent holding a bowl of steaming medicine, her eyes were red. As a doctor, how could she not know what such a sound meant.

The imperial army's northern expedition is coming to an end.

His Majesty the Emperor's road is coming to an end soon...

At this time, a hand gently pressed on her shoulder. Aunt Tongyun looked back and saw Xiao Shunzi with the same solemn face. His eyes were also red, but he tried his best not to let his emotions go too far.

Exposed, he only said to her in a hoarse voice: "My aunt goes in like this, I'm afraid it will make my wife feel uncomfortable too."

"oh."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Tongyun quickly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Shunzi sighed again, and then said: "Auntie, please go in quickly. No matter whether the medicine is still useful or not, it is still uncomfortable to drink it when it is too cold."

When Xiao Shunzi said these words, it was more like a knife piercing Aunt Tongyun's heart.

She choked and said, "Shun Eunuch, please stop talking."

After saying that, he lowered his head and took a deep breath to make himself look normal, then opened the curtain and walked in.

Xiao Shunzi stood silently at the door of the tent. When he raised his head, he saw Yingshao standing opposite with a waist knife in his hand. He had been standing here for an unknown amount of time. The troops below had already assembled in accordance with the order of His Majesty the Emperor.

But before he was given the order to set off, he kept standing here. Snowflakes had already fallen on his shoulders and dyed his hair white.

The two people looked at each other and said nothing.

However, the deep sadness in his eyes has already said everything.

In the tent, there was a charcoal pot in front of the bed. The charcoal fire was almost exhausted, but the heat was still strong. As soon as Aunt Tongyun walked in, she felt a thin layer of sweat covering her body. But even so, the person lying on the bed was still

He was covered with a thick quilt, and even his lips were pale and bloodless.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor like this, Aunt Tongyun felt that the tears she had swallowed were about to burst out again.

She hurriedly lowered her head, and concealedly brought the medicine bowl in her hand to the imperial concubine who was sitting beside the bed, letting His Majesty the Emperor lean on her, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready..."

Nan Yan raised her head and glanced at her.

Different from the sad atmosphere outside, the tent was very quiet. Even the imperial concubine's face was so calm that there was no unnecessary expression. Seeing Aunt Tongyun's somewhat red eyes, she just reached out to take the bowl and said calmly:

"Back off."

"yes."

Aunt Tongyun didn't dare to say anything, bowed her head and left.

When the curtain fell again, Nan Yan lowered his head and looked at Zhu Feng in his arms. The violent cough just now had exhausted his strength. At this time, the man leaning on his arms kept panting, and his thin back was against his chest.

On her body, one can even distinguish his distinct bones from the ups and downs of his breathing.

It hurts a little bit.

When Nan Yan spoke, his voice was low, as if he was suppressing something due to pain, and said: "Your Majesty, please take some medicine?"

The man in her arms panted for a while before he stopped and slowly looked back at her.

This look showed some tenderness in the weakness, and even a little smile.

Facing his smiling eyes, Nan Yan was silent for a moment, smiled a little, and even softened her voice a lot, and asked: "Does the emperor want to take medicine?"

Zhu Feng shook his head: "Just put it aside."

Nan Yan didn't even try to dissuade him, and actually put the medicine bowl aside, then stretched out his hand to gently rub Zhu Feng's back to help him calm down. But now, this action had already caused Zhu Feng's inner and outer torment.

It didn't work at all. He was still breathing heavily. Even if he tried his best to suppress it, he still couldn't hold it in and coughed several times.

Nan Yan heard that something was wrong in the voice, and hurriedly brought the small cup to his mouth, and heard Zhu Feng spit two mouthfuls of phlegm into it.

It's bloody phlegm.

But Nan Yan acted as if he didn't see it, and put the small cup aside calmly, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth. Zhu Feng panted for a while before finally calming down and asked: "What's going on outside?

"

Nan Yan's hand holding the handkerchief froze slightly, but he immediately said: "The team has been assembled. We can break camp and set off at any time with the emperor's order."

"well."

Zhu Feng nodded and stretched out his hands to support the edge of the bed as if he wanted to get up, but he only bounced in Nan Yan's arms and fell down weakly.

He gasped and said: "I, I will sit down for a while and then we will set off."

Nan Yan stretched out her hand to support his shoulders and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The spies ahead reported that the team of Tan Kingdom has also slowed down. Even if we sleep again, we won't lose much distance."

Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "When did the spy come back?"

Nan Yan said: "Last night..."

"Why, I don't know anything?"

"The emperor fell asleep. I was afraid that they would disturb the emperor's rest, so I didn't wake him up."

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "I didn't notice it at all."

He is a very cautious person. Even if he lives in the imperial city and his own palace, he rarely sleeps so deeply that he cannot wake up if someone comes in and replies. What's more, he is now in the snowfields of the Northern Territory and is in a state of preparation for war.

, but had no consciousness at all.

Seeing him like this, Nan Yan immediately said: "The emperor said this, it is my fault."

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I don't blame you."

Seeing that Nan Yan's face was still not looking good, he said, "Okay, bring the medicine over and give it to me to drink. After drinking it, I can set off."

Nan Yan nodded and reached over to pick up the medicine bowl. However, she brought it to her mouth first and took a sip. Only then did she realize that the medicine had lost its temperature. She immediately frowned and raised her head to call for someone to come in and take out the medicine to heat it up again.

, Zhu Feng tried to say something several times but could not stop her. When he saw Aunt Tongyun carefully holding the medicine bowl and exiting the tent, he smiled bitterly and said, "You make such a fuss over a trivial matter."

Nan Yan said: "The medicine is no longer hot."

"It's just not hot, and it's not cold. What's the big deal?"

"It is best to drink this medicine hot. Drinking it half-warm will not be helpful to the emperor's illness."

Seeing that she was speaking cautiously, Zhu Feng couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile, "I still care about this?"

Nan Yan said: "I care."

"I care."

These three words were spoken forcefully, as if something hit Zhu Feng's chest. He looked back at Nan Yan's face, which was not as good-looking as before. At this time, her eyes were already a little red, as if

The next moment something hot is going to drip down.

Zhu Feng immediately looked away and avoided her eyes.

Next, the two of them didn't speak anymore, just sitting next to each other. Although there was a strong wind howling outside, the footsteps of the army and the neighing of the horses, the tent was exceptionally quiet and warm, even

There is an illusion of being in spring.

Nan Yan put one hand around Zhu Feng's slender waist, and placed one hand gently on the back of his hand.

Due to excessive weight loss, his hands were also thin and had clear joints. In the past, they were so kind and gentle hands that gave people infinite strength and warmth. Now that they were covered by her hands, there was a feeling that they would disappear at any time.

Nan Yan frowned and clasped her fingers together with his.

Feeling her strength, Zhu Feng seemed to understand something. He smiled calmly and said, "What are you worried about again?"

Nan Yan said: "No."

Zhu Feng smiled and said: "No, then why are you holding me so tightly?"

"..."

"I can't run away."

"Who says no,"

Nan Yan whispered in his ear: "The emperor has been walking in front of my concubine. He walked very fast. If he missed me, he would not be able to keep up."

"..."

"So, I must follow you closely, and hold on tighter, so that I can keep up with the emperor."

Zhu Feng chuckled lightly and said, "You, please tell me."

"..."

"You have already been with me."

"..."

"Maybe, maybe in the future, you will come in front of me."
