She looked around with some doubts, and was frowning as she walked into the private room, when suddenly, she froze for a moment.
In the elegant room, there is actually a person standing there!
The man was standing by the window, with his back to himself, looking down through the open window.
A stranger suddenly appeared in the private room that was originally thought to be empty, startling Nan Yan, she hurriedly wanted to call for someone, but before she could say anything, she heard a familiar, faint voice from beside the bed.
"You came."
"...!"
At this moment, Nan Yan's heart almost jumped out of her throat.
this voice—
This voice belonged to the mysterious owner I met before, on the mysterious big ship at sea, and on the ship where I and Li Bushang were picked up!
Nan Yan was stunned, she didn't expect him to appear in this place.
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse.
"You, how did you—"
"How would it appear here?"
Hearing this sentence, the other party seemed to chuckle lightly, and then slowly turned around.
"Of course it's because I want to see the imperial concubine."
He stood by the window, although the window was partially covered, but the sunlight still came in through the window paper, and also illuminated his familiar appearance, compared to any other time before, only one figure could be seen through the screen, this time , was the closest Nanyan was to him.
It can be clearly seen that he is a thin man, wearing a very close-fitting gown and a thick fox fur.
The fluffy fur on the collar almost covered most of his face.
In the private room, the curtain that had been hung up before was lowered at this time, and it happened to block the other half of his face.
Nan Yan still couldn't see him.
She frowned, and walked in subconsciously.
But just two steps away, I heard the man smile and said calmly: "If the imperial concubine wants to see me, it's actually very easy, but—in your heart, shouldn't you be more worried about your daughter? Is that His Royal Highness King Wei?"
"...!"
Upon hearing these words, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Peace of mind, and Zhu Chengxuan!
The two of them haven't come back until now, could it be—
"They, you, what did you do?"
Even though the mysterious man's face was completely covered, he probably couldn't see Nan Yan's frightened expression, but it seemed that at this moment, he had completely grasped Nan Yan's emotions, so even if he couldn't see it, he could still feel it.
He smiled calmly: "Your concubine, you can rest assured."
"..."
"This seat is not interested in two children."
"..."
"On the contrary, they are more interested in the excitement on the street."
Nan Yan's heart almost missed a beat.
She didn't know at all that she was running madly in the crowd with a calm heart, holding a bunch of bright red candied haws in her hand, laughing and jumping, while Zhu Chengxuan behind her was afraid that she might fall, and followed all the way, Two hands guard her side.
Constantly shouting: "Peace of mind, peace of mind, sister, don't run around, you will be scolded soon."
"Haha, hahahaha."
"Don't run away, brother can't catch up anymore."
"elder brother!"
As soon as he heard that his brother couldn't chase him, Xinping stopped again, tilted his head and looked at Zhu Chengxuan who was following behind him panting, ran back and threw himself into his arms, and gave the candied haws in his hand to him. to his lips—
"Brother, eat."
"Brother doesn't eat, you eat."
Zhu Chengxuan managed to catch her, hugged her tightly, and looked back at the surroundings. There were a lot of people, and just now he ran around because of his peace of mind, and he ran with her again, and lost everyone behind him.
He hugged his sister tightly, and said: "Stop running around, I won't be able to find my way back in a while."
While talking, he followed the way he came, and walked back carefully among the crowd.
Nanyan's palms were covered with sweat, and her voice trembled a little: "You, you swear that you didn't touch my daughter, and you didn't touch King Wei either."
The man behind the curtain said calmly, "I don't need to swear."
"..."
"I don't need to lie to you about my identity."
"..."
"Just like what I told you before, you should have been confirmed."
"...!"
Upon hearing this sentence, Nan Yan became a little more nervous than when he talked about peace of mind and Zhu Chengxuan.
His whole body trembled slightly.
She said in a panic: "What did you say?"
The other party's tone suddenly became cold: "Aren't you very clear about what I am talking about?"
"..."
"You said that you have to find evidence to believe it. Now, it has been so long, you should have found it."
"..."
Nanyan stood still.
But his palms were already covered in cold sweat.
She bit her lower lip, remained silent for a long time, and said hoarsely, "I, I haven't had a chance to look for it yet."
"..."
"You have to give me a little more time."
"..."
This time, the other party did not speak immediately, but stood quietly on the balcony.
Although he was motionless, the other party's gaze became sharper, as if he wanted to see through the curtain in the middle, and even more so, Nan Yan's body and soul.
He said solemnly: "You already know the result."
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart twitched violently again, almost stopping her heartbeat and suffocating her breathing.
She lowered her head in panic.
The other party said: "But you, hesitated."
"..."
"Why do you hesitate?"
"..."
"Is it because—"
The other party dragged his voice for a long while, but suddenly chuckled again, and said, "It seems that a woman is a woman."
Nan Yan frowned: "What do you mean?"
The other party smiled faintly: "If my guess is correct, you must have suffered a lot of grievances a few days ago."
"..."
"But now, the emperor has taken you out of the cold palace, and before that, he let you live in his bedroom and cared for you."
"..."
"Now, you have returned to Yikun Palace."
"..."
"The imperial concubine who was loved by three thousand in the past has returned."
"..."
"Of course you don't want to face the hatred between you and him. After all, that means that you have to abandon the glory and wealth you are enjoying now, and everything he gave you."
Nan Yan gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "You can be aggressive, but you don't want to humiliate me with such words."
"oh?"
"No matter how hard or good life is, I have lived it. I am not afraid to go back to the time when I had nothing. The glory and wealth will not let me bow my head."
"Then why do you hesitate?"
"I-"
Just when she was hesitating again, the other party let out a chuckle and said, "You won't tell me, it's for your child, right?"
"..."
Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly.
She suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, it's for the children."
