Nan Yisheng moved very quickly to protect her behind him, with a bottomless dark light in his beautiful eyes.
He half-squinted his eyes and said with thin lips: "Please lead the way-"
"Your Majesty Nan, please—" The Ouchi guards respected him very much and treated them as if they were guests.
Luo Qingchen felt vaguely worried. If Mu Hanche directly sent people to kill them, she would not be so nervous.
Now that he was treating guests with such courtesy, she really couldn't understand what he wanted to do.
The road from the long street to the palace was covered with snow, and Nan Yisheng held her hand tightly.
Luo Qingchen always felt particularly at ease looking at such a back figure. As long as Nan Yisheng was around, she had nothing to fear.
Even though... until now, she still only has a 50% favorability rating, which is stagnant.
Along the way, Nan Yisheng didn't speak and walked quietly. When he stood at the door of the side hall, the guard cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please wait here. King Mu will come over as soon as he leaves the court."
"Yes." Nan Yisheng nodded lightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and glanced at Luo Qingchen beside her, her expression did not change much.
"Are you still used to it?"
"What?"
In just four words, she didn't understand Nan Yisheng's meaning. She only felt that there were indescribable emotions in his bottomless eyes, so profound.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mu Country is very cold. I'm afraid you won't be used to it." He touched her frozen smile and said, "Come here."
Luo Qingchen blinked her eyes and walked to him obediently.
There are snacks and tea placed on the table. The snacks are the original owner's favorite osmanthus cake and cherry blossom cake, and the tea is the original owner's favorite drink Biluochun.
The air was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, and the whole room instantly felt warm.
Nan Yisheng sat down, picked up the blue and white porcelain cup on the table, and was about to make a pot of hot tea for her.
"Wait, don't move—" Luo Qingchen's eyes widened slightly, and she bit her lip and said, "We are in a foreign country, so it's best not to touch these things."
As soon as the sound fell, he did not forget to pull Nan Yisheng to sit down somewhere far away and said: "We are trapped now, Dong'er and the others are also placed in the inn outside the palace. How do you deal with how to get the antidote? What's the strategy?"
When Nan Yisheng heard this, he looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, without moving his eyes at all.
After a long time, he finally said: "I will find a way to get the antidote, don't worry."
"But… "
"Are you so afraid that King Mu will poison you and me?" Nan Yisheng squinted his eyes, with a faint light shining in his beautiful eyes. It seemed that he had been waiting for an answer, the answer he wanted to know. .
Luo Qingchen tapped her right hand out of habit, and slightly moved her brows as she said, "Mu Hanche is much taller than we imagined in Zhongcheng Mansion."
"Do you know him?" Nan Yisheng's thin lips and teeth were light, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Maybe he still couldn't let go after all... He couldn't let go of the person sitting next to him, but he brought her back.
"It's not that I know him well, but this man is extremely indifferent and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He must have some ulterior motives when he invites you and me here today." Luo Qingchen frowned, then turned to look at him and said : "Why don't we run away! Finding a way to get the antidote is the best option."
Nan Yisheng said nothing, but squinted his eyes with a sad look.
Two voices in my heart were constantly colliding, one was asking her to leave, the other was asking her to stay.
After all, he knew very well that she belonged here, she was Mu Hanche's secret guard, she was... (To be continued)
