Chapter 814 You have been setting this up

For the following time, Zhu Feng basically stayed by her side.

Nan Yan also felt that she was seriously injured this time. Although she had almost had miscarriage once or twice before, she had managed to get through it because of her good physical condition.

But this time, it's not that easy.

She was in good spirits, but her body was always very weak. No matter how long she slept or how much nourishing food she ate, she always felt weak.

The body was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all the nutrients that were taken in without even a splash.

I really need to rest well.

She touched her big belly with some worry.

It’s been almost seven months now, and the baby will be born in two more months. There must not be any more accidents.

Zhu Feng seemed to think so too.

He has been with her these past two days. When they have nothing to do, they lie together. Zhu Feng's eyes will always be on her belly, and one hand will gently stroke her belly.

That cautious feeling is like—

The tiger is sniffing the rose.

However, Zhu Feng couldn't remain idle like this forever.

Two days later, there were some things he needed to deal with, so he returned to his Liuhe Hall.

Nan Yan reluctantly put on her clothes and walked to the window and stood there for a while.

I originally thought that breathing some fresh air would make me feel more comfortable, but although I still felt pretty good, after standing for a while, I felt even more tired.

Why is your physical strength so bad now?

She could only sit back on the couch and ask Ran Xiaoyu to go out and help her with something.

After a while, Ran Xiaoyu came back.

Behind him, followed Arslan with a serious expression.

As soon as he walked in, he took two quick steps and almost rushed to Nan Yan, looking down at her.

The furrowed brow made him look as if he was very concerned about his own death.

Said: "Are you okay?"

“…”

Nan Yan looked up at him for a moment, feeling that this man was terribly hypocritical, but she still said perfunctorily to save face, "Thank you for your concern."

Then, he raised his somewhat limp hand and pointed to the chair next to him: "Please sit down, King Nanli."

Arslan looked at her again, then walked over and sat down.

The atmosphere between the two people was obviously not harmonious.

Ran Xiaoyu poured them some tea and placed it beside them.

Nan Yan said, "Please have some tea."

“…”

Arslan was still looking at her, as if he couldn't see enough. Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable with his direct gaze. Although, in terms of blood relationship, she and he were cousins, there was a difference between men and women after all, and she was the imperial concubine of Yan State.

It's very uncomfortable to be looked at so eagerly by a man.

Then, Nan Yan said in a more serious tone, "Tea, please!"

This time, Arslan finally came to his senses a little.

He looked at her again and said, "Thank you."

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Obviously, he couldn't taste anything, because even while drinking tea, his eyes were still on Nan Yan.

After finishing his tea and putting down his cup, Arslan said, "I wonder if the Noble Concubine Nan---has something important to ask me to come here for?"

Nan Yan also put down her teacup and said slowly, "I want to ask King Nanli."

"What is it?"

"Why don't you leave?"

“…”

Arslan's face froze slightly.

Nan Yan raised her head and looked at him, saying calmly, "You've already done what you wanted to do. Why do you still want to stay in Yan Country?"

Arslan's tone became a little subtle.

"What am I going to do?"

"Use the Yan Kingdom to kill the King of Beili."

“…”

"This is the real purpose of your visit to Yan Country this time."

“…”

Arslan's eyes flickered, but he did not refute immediately.

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "I've always found it strange. You only went on a diplomatic mission to Yan Kingdom last year, and before that, you kidnapped me from Yan Kingdom to Neng Kingdom. How could you have so many unfinished business that you would come again this time?"

“…”

"So, you guys have been setting this up all along."

"You guys?" Arslan asked, "When you say you guys, besides me, who else is there?"

"Who else could it be?" Nan Yan said calmly, "Of course it's the king of your Neng Kingdom, my good cousin."

“…”

Arslan's face darkened again.

But, there was no rebuttal.

Nan Yan said, "You must have decided to eliminate King Beili after the great battle in Peking last year. However, if you do it within your territory, King Beili is very powerful. If you really do fight, it will inevitably lead to a war, which may cause both sides to suffer losses. Therefore, you set the battlefield to eliminate him in Yan Kingdom."

“…”

"However, King Beili is a very cautious man. He would not have traveled with a large army like you, bringing only a small number of people with him to Yan Country."

“…”

"So, you need a bait to lure him over."

At this point, Arslan's breath sank: "Bait."

"It's the imperial seal."

“…”

"I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Arslan looked at her and said, "That's right."

Although Nan Yan had already guessed it, she couldn't help but snorted coldly when she heard him admit it himself.

She said, "I just find it strange why Munch sent me letters so frequently during that period. Not by official letter, nor by post, but by carrier pigeon."

“…”

"Now I understand that he didn't really want to greet me, but was deliberately doing it through these letters to show off."

“…”

"It made me feel like he was talking to me about something secret, something that no one else could know."

“…”

"And what is it that cannot be known to others?"

“…”

"It's the imperial seal."

Nan Yan sneered and said, "At that time, you deliberately took me to the beacon tower and used the jade disc to identify me. King Beili also saw that scene, and almost everyone in your royal family of the Neng Kingdom understood that the disappearance of the jade seal was related to my mother, Princess Tana."

“…”

"So, King Beili will definitely suspect that I have clues to the Jade Seal."

“…”

"And Monk started to correspond with me so frequently, the message he conveyed was that he was with me, looking for the whereabouts of the imperial seal."

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "After doing all this, he must have taken some action to deliberately leak the information to King Beili's people - I think it must be the Empress Xiu Yun in the harem."

“…”

"She was placed in the harem by King Beili to gather information and pass on messages. If Monk reveals even a little bit to her, she will tell King Beili everything."

“…”

"And when you go south again and enter Yan Country, King Beili will undoubtedly suspect that you have already discovered the whereabouts of the Jade Seal, and that your mission this time is to secretly search for the Jade Seal under the guise of a diplomatic mission."

“…”

"King Beili has been looking for the Jade Seal. He certainly won't let this opportunity go."

“…”

"So, he only brought a small number of people and entered the territory of Yan State, trying not to alert anyone. But I believe you must have monitored his actions, so you should have also received a lot of information about his actions while you are here."

“…”

"You knew he would come."

“…”

"You used me and the imperial seal as bait to lure him here, and then you used the emperor to get rid of him!"

“…”

When Nan Yan just started talking, Arslan would nod and say a word or two, but when she spoke later, Arslan stopped talking altogether.

His expression became more and more serious.

At this time, he took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and said: "Everything you said is correct."

“…”

"You're very clever."

“…”

"There's just one thing I want to clarify—I'm not using you as bait, but the Imperial Seal."

“…”

"I didn't expect that he would come and kidnap you."

Nan Yan sneered: "You didn't expect it? But you have done it before, what is there to deny?"

Arslan's face darkened again.

Indeed, he had once kidnapped Nan Yan on Xingluo Lake.

only--

He sighed and said, "If you really believe that I'm using you as bait, I have nothing to say."

"That's right, there's nothing to say."

Nan Yan said coldly: "If you still want to have friendly exchanges with Yan Country, that's fine, but please don't use the banner of family concern anymore."

“…”

"Family members are not to be exploited."

“…”

Arslan glanced at her and a look of guilt appeared on his face.

They really hadn't thought of using Nanyan as bait.

The bait, from the very beginning, was the jade seal that disappeared without a trace.

Although everyone wanted to find the imperial seal, they were not as urgent as King Beili, because Monk was already the emperor after all. Instead of having to find the imperial seal to ascend the throne, all they had to do was to eliminate the enemies in the country and they would be firmly seated on the throne.

However, he could not deny that he and Monk did take advantage of Nan Yan.

Behind those carrier pigeon letters and greetings, there is indeed a purpose.

They wanted to make Ashige suspicious and they were trying to get clues from Nanyan.

Only in this way can everything come to fruition.

He was silent for a while, then said to Nan Yan, "I'm sorry for hurting you this time."

“…”

Nan Yan looked at him for a while and said calmly, "It didn't hurt me either."

“…”

"Fortunately, I've had few relatives since I was young, so I didn't have high expectations of them."

“…”

"Now, it's better."

“…”

"Don't expect anything."

“…”

"My only hope now is that you leave Yan Country as soon as possible and don't stay here any longer. After all, you have already done what you wanted to do."
