"Nanyan..."
The gurgling water flows past with the coldness and sadness of the night.
And Li Bushang looked at Nan Yan who was curled up at the door, trembling and weeping, the last little impulse in his heart was gone, and what was left was only slowly guilt and distress.
How could he have the heart, how could he have the heart to let the person he wanted to protect suffer such pain and cry
"Nanyan..."
He wanted to stretch out his hands to protect her, but he was worried that he would scare her again, his hands were trembling helplessly, after a while, he said softly: "Nanyan, I'm sorry."
In an instant, he returned to the boyish appearance of the past.
Facing her, only when facing her, can there be full intimacy and pity from the bottom of my heart, and only she can make my almost frozen heart give birth to warm feelings.
How could you be willing to hurt her
Seeing her in pain, seeing her being made sad and crying by me, I wish I could stab myself a few times.
But Nan Yan didn't look at him, only choked up, and said softly: "I want to go back."
"go back?"
As soon as he heard these two words, the original heavy guilt turned into full of anger, Li Bushang frowned: "You still want to go back? Haven't you been tortured enough by him?"
"..."
"If you go back, will you still be alive?"
Nan Yan didn't look at him, she just reached out to hold the door frame, and stood up with difficulty. It was already dawn at this time, and she stretched out her hand to open the door bolt, but what she had experienced before made her hands and feet weak, so she tried Couldn't open it several times.
As soon as Li Bushang stretched out his hand, he pressed her hand.
He said, "You really want to go back?"
"..."
"Are you so devoted to him?"
Nan Yan lowered her head, with tears still on her face, and said slowly, "I have a daughter."
These four words made Li Bushang stunned.
Nan Yan slowly turned her head to look at him, and said sadly, "I have a daughter."
"..."
"I can just leave, but if I leave, those people will definitely put the charge of 'fleeing' on my head."
"..."
"What about peace of mind? Have you thought about what will happen to her?"
Li Bushang frowned suddenly.
Even if he was not familiar with the harem, he knew very well how cruel the battles there were. Back then, when Nanyan was favored, many people hated her. Now that she is gone, her daughter will become a tool for them to vent their anger.
However, what Nanyan didn't expect was that the crime that those people accused her of was not "running away" but "running away."
"I'm not a good mother, but I must never leave my daughter alone."
"..."
Hearing what she said, even Li Bushang was speechless.
No one can stop a mother from going back to protect her daughter, not even in the name of "love".
He could only grit his teeth, and watched Nanyan struggle to open the door, and walked out.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't hold back after all, and hurriedly chased him out.
"Nanyan—"
Even if he had to go back, even if he had to face danger, he couldn't let her face it alone!
But just as he stepped out of the room, he saw Nanyan standing on the deck, looking ahead in astonishment.
He said, "Nanyan?"
As soon as the words fell, his brows furrowed.
Because he could see that many boats suddenly appeared around his boat on the wide river, and they had already surrounded them!
