The next day, Nan Yan hid in Shang Baosi again.
Although she didn't rest well here, at least Du Siyao couldn't come to trouble her. Without her harassment, her illness would always get better day by day.
However, in the evening, Jian Ruocheng came again with the imperial decree.
Nan Yan is a little strange, usually there are not so many imperial decrees to stamp the seal, but these two days when he hid here by himself, there have been more imperial decrees.
Jian Ruocheng looked at her still pale face and said, "Are you still okay?"
Nan Yan smiled: "Sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like silk, how can it be so easy to get better."
However, the fever has subsided a lot, and she is somewhat refreshed.
But in Jian Ruocheng's view, she was still haggard.
It seems that every time she saw her, she never had a good time. The first time she came to Jane's house, she passed out in front of her face; later, on the way to Yongzhou, she passed out again due to heatstroke; In the process, he was kidnapped and taken to the camp of Yue State, where he was injured all over his body.
Finally returned to the palace...
Nanyan was about to take out the key to open the cabinet to get the jade seal, but suddenly saw him looking at her with a solemn expression, and said softly, "Master Jane? What are you thinking?"
"you-"
Jian Ruocheng suddenly looked up at her.
Nan Yan also looked at him with wide eyes.
"..." Jian Ruocheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Nan Yan, have you ever thought about leaving?"
"leave?"
"Yes, leave here, leave the palace."
"Leave the palace..."
"Yes, court ladies are elected every few years and released every few years. Besides, you are a female official, if someone intercedes for you, or if the emperor grants favor, you can leave the palace."
Hearing such words suddenly made Nan Yan slightly surprised.
But she shook her head quickly: "I haven't thought about it."
"Why?"
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Although I don't like this place, but if I leave here, I will go home."
"Going home, isn't it good for you?"
"..."
Nan Yan glanced at him again, as if he was a little embarrassed.
And how sensitive Jian Ruocheng was, she immediately noticed something: "Your home—"
Nanyan smiled wryly, and said, "Mistress Jane's family is very harmonious, so there may be some things that you don't quite understand. My family—"
"..."
"Let's put it this way, the reason why I agreed to enter the palace is because if I don't enter the palace, the aunt will marry me."
"..."
"A man in his fifties."
"..."
"Be a concubine."
Jian Ruocheng's face darkened.
Nan Yan lowered her head and said softly: "Elder Jian also knew my father, and he also knew that my father passed away very early, and there is no one in my family who can make decisions for me."
"..."
"So, as Shang Bao's female officer, at least I have something to do, and I still have a little salary every month. I am already very happy."
"..."
"If you send me back—"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't even know what my fate will be like."
Jian Ruocheng was speechless.
And Nanyan also knew that his family background was very good, and the family was harmonious, and he was a rare scholarly family. Naturally, it was hard to imagine the kind of intrigue in his own family.
It is even more difficult to imagine what kind of environment I grew up in when I was young.
The two fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Jian Ruocheng suddenly said, "What if—you leave the palace and don't go home?"
