This room is very clean, the decoration is very simple, but it reveals the taste of the owner, and it looks very elegant. It must have been cleaned before coming back, no matter the table or the corners are spotless.
It is a very comfortable thing for a person who is tired of traveling and traveling to rest here.
But when she heard that it was his room, Nan Yan immediately frowned.
"What?!"
He took himself to his room, what was he going to do
And this place is so remote, there is almost no one around.
Nan Yan subconsciously took a step back.
But Jian Ruocheng took another step forward.
"you-"
But Jian Ruocheng walked over, tidied up the bed, then turned around and said softly to her: "The mattress and quilt are all new, don't mind your empress, let's make it up for the night first."
"..."
Nan Yan was taken aback again: "You—"
"Since they didn't prepare a room for the empress, I will naturally give up my own room."
"..."
"I also hope that the empress will not be disgusted."
So, he let himself sleep in his bed.
Nan Yan asked, "What about you?"
Jian Ruocheng didn't speak, but walked over, lit the candlestick beside the bed to make the room brighter, and lit a candle by herself, and walked outside the door with it.
Nan Yan took a step forward: "Where are you going?"
Although it was impossible for him to be in the same room with him late at night, seeing him leaving just like that made me feel a little uneasy.
Going to see Jian Ruocheng turned around, smiled and said to her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm right here."
"What?"
Before Nan Yan could react, she saw him leaning against the door and slowly sitting down with his back to the room.
Then he said, "Your Majesty, you can lock the door yourself."
"..."
"Your Majesty is right at the door. If you have any orders from the empress, just say it."
"..."
He actually wanted to stay at the door all night, guarding the door for himself.
this-
If it was someone else, even if it was a eunuch or guard in the palace, Nanyan would accept it.
But he is Jian Ruocheng.
Nan Yan frowned, took a step forward, and said softly, "You—"
"My lady, please close the door."
With his back turned to her, he said calmly, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter if we talk through the door."
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a long time, then stepped forward, and gently closed the door from behind him.
Facing the pitch black night outside, Jian Ruocheng looked at the faint candlelight in his hand and sighed softly, leaning his back against the door.
But Nanyan did not leave.
She was still holding the door with one hand, as if she could feel the warmth from that person's body through the cold door.
After a while, Jian Ruocheng's voice came from outside: "Haven't you rested yet?"
"..."
It turned out that he had been listening to the movement in the room, knowing that he was still standing at the door and did not go to bed to rest.
Nan Yan lowered her hands, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, thought for a while, and then lay down again.
But can't sleep.
Jian Ruocheng said in a low voice in the night: "You have a good rest, don't think about anything else."
"How could I not want to?"
Nan Yan leaned against the bed, looking at the candlelight reflected in the front window, it was the candlelight flickering in Jian Ruocheng's hand outside. She said softly: "What does King Ning want to do by doing this? To humiliate me?"
"..."
"Now that I'm in his hands, what will he do to me in the future?"
This is something she can't help worrying about.
It was quiet outside for a long time, so long that Nan Yan thought he had fallen asleep leaning against the door, only then did he hear Jian Ruocheng's low voice saying: "He didn't mean to humiliate you."
"..."
"He's trying to force me to take a stand."
"What?"
"Although I have already worked under King Ning's command, the people around King Ning don't quite believe me. Because I haven't submitted a certificate yet."
vote
Upon hearing these three words, Nan Yan frowned.
She once heard it mentioned by her grandmother who traveled all over the world, like some Jianghu gangs, if someone wants to join, then they have to show their loyalty to them, for example, killing a common enemy is the way they show their determination.
And Jian Ruocheng—
Jian Ruocheng said: "If there is any scandal between you and me, or if I do something wrong to you, then I will be completely despised by the world, and the court and the emperor will not tolerate me."
Nanyan took a deep breath.
It turned out to be like this.
They wanted to force him to take a path of no return. If he did something to himself, it would be arrogance.
Only then will they believe that Jian Ruocheng is on the same boat as them.
Nan Yan sneered.
She said: "So, are you going to hand in this 'Certificate of Voting'?"
Jian Ruocheng said calmly, "You can rest assured."
"..."
"I won't hurt you, and I won't let anyone hurt you."
"..."
When he heard him say these words calmly but solemnly, Nan Yan suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
She said: "Second Young Master, it's a trivial matter to hurt me. Don't hurt yourself and those who care about you."
"..."
"Who is the person who hurts the most when you do these things now? I miss you, you should understand."
The candlelight outside the window suddenly flickered.
Nan Yan knew that he was the same as herself, and recalled Jian Tongguang when he stood up and confronted his son at the altar.
Jian Tongguang is a person who truly lives his life.
Facing Zhu Feng's seizure of the throne back then, he didn't make any false remarks to Zhu Feng when he faced the threat of "Zhu Shi Clan".
Now, Jian Ruocheng went to work under King Ning's command, and he confronted him mercilessly at the altar.
But Nan Yan knew that he must be very sad.
The people outside fell silent.
Neither of them spoke anymore, the night slowly flowed in such silence...
But Nan Yan was not only thinking about Jian Ruocheng outside the door and Jian Tongguang who was heartbroken for Jian Ruocheng.
Her mind has drifted to Peking.
I was robbed by King Ning, and now I am most worried about the two people.
One is my peace of mind. Although I know that the queen will take good care of her, but as a mother, being separated from her beloved daughter abruptly is like having a piece of meat taken away from my heart.
And there is—
Zhu Feng.
How is he now? Is there any better
He went crazy that day and almost killed himself, but these days, there is no news from Beiping. Is he still sick, or something else happened
As Qin Ruolan said, he might forget everything.
Thinking of this, Nanyan's heart felt a sharp pain again.
No matter what, if he forgets everything, will he still remember himself
She leaned against the head of the bed and murmured, "Don't forget me..."
