In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
Early in the morning, Nanyan got up by herself. After washing and washing, she ate breakfast and sat at the table in an orderly manner, waiting.
After a while, I saw Jian Ruocheng walking in from the outside.
When he saw her, he looked first at her eyes, then at her hands.
He said softly, "Has the burn healed?"
Nan Yan lowered his head and took a look. It was only a small wound, and he had already used the medicine. In addition, he specially found such a good burn ointment for himself.
He said softly, "It's okay."
"That's good."
After speaking, Jian Ruocheng looked into her eyes again, fell silent for a while, and said, "Did you sleep well?"
"Well… "
Nan Yan subconsciously reached out and touched the corner of her eyes.
Just now, when I was sitting in front of the dressing table and combing my hair in front of the mirror, I noticed that my eyes were red and bloodshot.
It's not that I didn't sleep well.
Instead, he stayed up all night.
In fact, in the past few days, she didn't have a good rest.
Because for these two nights, Li Bushang would come out of the darkness somewhere and guard her.
Originally, he didn't have such a habit, but he didn't know where he knew it. A few days ago, Jian Ruocheng would sit at the door of this room every night, guarding Nanyan, and he did the same.
And, he was by her bedside—
Although I have always regarded him as my younger brother, after all, this younger brother is already eighteen years old, and he is tall and handsome. There is really no way to look at him with the eyes of a child. Beside the bed, a pair of wolf-like eyes stared at him burningly.
Who can sleep
Nan Yan also protested to him, but Li Bushang said with a cold face: "Why can you be fine if Jian Ruocheng guards the door, but I can't?"
"..."
What else can I say
Nan Yan knew that he and Jian Ruocheng had been unhappy from the very beginning when they met, but they didn't expect that even after sending him to Jian's residence for a while, the relationship between the two would not be eased.
Even, in himself, there is such a "battle".
Just go with him.
And last night—
She stayed up all night last night, but it has nothing to do with Li Bushang.
Because last night, one thing was churning in her mind, that is, today, Zhu Feng will recanonize Qin Ruolan.
She tried her best to conceal the impact of this incident on her, and wanted to pretend that she was not sad or heartbroken.
However, you can deceive others, but you cannot deceive yourself.
The whole night, she couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned, and all that was in her mind were Zhu Feng's gentle smile to her, those sweet words, and even every moment they spent together.
Gradually, it became blurred in the darkness.
What gradually became clear in my mind was Qin Ruolan's cold and beautiful face.
And her cold voice—
"I, too, used to be special."
These words, like a spell, kept circling in her mind, making her almost fall into the dark abyss.
She doesn't want to be jealous.
She still remembered that Zhu Feng told her that she could be jealous when the two of them were together.
But now, she is not by his side.
She is not like jealousy, she does not want the fangs of jealousy to bite through her heart and conscience, and she is even less willing to let the poisonous snake of jealousy drag herself into the abyss of reason.
Therefore, she kept her eyes wide open, even though the tears were already flowing, she still refused to close them.
In this way, I foolishly kept watch until dawn.
Right now, being asked by Jian Ruocheng, Nan Yan lowered her eyes and said flatly, "It's nothing."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng didn't speak, but looked at her with those quiet eyes.
After a moment of silence, he said, "There are some things, don't think too much about them."
"..."
"Today, we should set off."
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded and stood up from the table, but she didn't know if it was because she hadn't slept all night and her body was a little weak. As soon as she stood up, her feet felt weak and she almost fell down.
"careful!"
Jian Ruocheng dashed forward and supported her.
Looking down at her red eyes: "Are you all right?"
"..."
Nan Yan was dizzy and shook for a while before raising her eyes to look at him. Before her consciousness could respond, she heard a gust of wind blowing outside, causing the green bamboos outside the window to shake and the bamboo leaves to rustle.
She hastily withdrew her hand from his, separating the two of them.
"I'm fine. Thanks."
Jian Ruocheng glanced at her again, sighed lightly, and said, "Sorry."
"No, nothing."
"let's go."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out. Nanyan was relieved and looked around subconsciously. Although Li Bushang was completely invisible, she knew that Li Bushang must be nearby. I said, this time I have to protect myself by my side.
Taking a deep breath, he followed suit.
Walking to the gate of King Ning's mansion, he found that King Ning brought several of his cronies, Zhai Yun and the others, were already standing here, a carriage was parked at the door, and some attendants followed them on horseback.
Nan Yan glanced around.
It seems that Shi Yiru, the head of Prince Ning's mansion, is not there
As if feeling her gaze, Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
Nan Yan glanced at him, and then said, "Where is that Shi Changshi?"
"Why do you care about the long history of this king?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen him in the past two days, it's just a little strange."
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is indeed very sensitive about this matter."
"..."
Nan Yan frowned.
In the past two days, Zhu Xuan has almost stopped calling her a noble concubine, and naturally he didn't want too many people to know her identity, nor did he want to cause unnecessary trouble, but this time, when he called her, he deliberately Emphasized the four words "imperial concubine empress".
Nan Yandao: "What do you mean?"
Zhu Xuan said with a smile: "I am afraid that the imperial concubine has forgotten that today is a very good day for my brother, the emperor, to enshrine Concubine Ning."
"...!"
Nan Yan's face suddenly darkened.
Originally, no one said it, and she didn't mention it herself, as if it didn't happen.
However, when Zhu Xuan mentioned it, it was like a knife pierced into her heart fiercely.
A dull pain hit.
She was in so much pain that it was difficult for her to breathe.
But Zhu Xuan seemed to think it was not enough, and said: "As the emperor's brother, I naturally want people to come to congratulate me. Shi Changshi should have arrived in Beiping by now."
He said, looking at the sky: "The canonization ceremony is about to begin."
