Nanny Sun took a look at Qiu Zhu's expression and saw that she didn't show any impatience. She tried to speak, "It's like this. I want to ask you to help me ask the Queen Mother for a favor. Can I leave the palace with you this time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly explained: "I could have left the palace that year, but because there was no one at home, I thought I had nowhere to go, so I stayed.
A few days ago, I suddenly received a letter from home. My sister and her family moved to the capital, and after many inquiries, they found out about me, me, me... So, I thought of you serving in the Cining Palace. I know I..."
Seeing Nanny Sun's guilty look, Qiu Zhu comforted her, "That's it. Don't worry. I still have a few days before leaving the palace. If I find the right opportunity, I will talk to the Queen Mother. However, I can't guarantee that this will happen."
Nanny Sun cried with joy, "I'm so grateful that you could help me. I know whether it will succeed or not, and I won't blame anyone else."
Then he took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and said, "This is my savings over the years. Please take it. Thank you in advance."
Qiu Zhu was about to refuse, but Nanny Sun stuffed the purse into her hand without a word and jumped away. "I'm still in the laundry department. Whether it works or not, you can just send someone to the laundry department to let me know."
Qiu Zhu watched as Nanny Sun's figure quickly disappeared around the corner, so she had no choice but to return to the Cining Palace with her purse.
This night.
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and Qingyin looked out the window in a daze.
After returning to the palace from Xiangguo Temple, another half month passed.
Nangong Yuan had never set foot in the Cining Palace.
She looked at the snowflakes outside, but felt an unbearable itch in her heart.
"Xiao Qi, why does this Gu feel so uncomfortable even though it hasn't seen anyone?" Qingyin said sullenly.
When he sees people, he acts like a puppy seeing a bone.
I didn't see anyone, and I felt very uncomfortable.
[Of course, Yinyin, this Gu is meant to constrain one party to become completely devoted to the other.]
Qingyin drooped her head dejectedly. "How about I go meet Nangong Yuan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and took a cloak to cover himself tightly.
Then he tiptoed out of the Cining Palace.
With Xiaoqi as her guide, Qingyin perfectly avoided all the guards and arrived at the imperial study.
Li Zhang suddenly saw a man coming out and was so scared that he wanted to shout assassin.
Qingyin quickly took off her hat, and after Li Zhang saw it clearly, she quickly put it back on.
Li Zhang was still in shock. "Tai, Tai... why are you here?"
Qingyin didn't reply, but simply asked, "Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?"
Li Zhang glanced at the still-lit imperial study and sighed, "The emperor has been even busier since returning from Xiangguo Temple. He locks himself in the imperial study until midnight every night."
Li Zhang wanted to ask the empress dowager to comfort the emperor, but the words turned around and he swallowed them back.
"Empress Dowager, please come in quickly." Li Zhang carefully pushed the door open, leaving just enough space for one person to enter.
Nangong Yuan, who was processing a memorial, heard the sound and looked up, just in time to see a figure sneaking in from outside.
Somehow, his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
After Qingyin came in, Li Zhang closed the door again.
She was just about to tiptoe and look up to see where Nangong Yuan was, but suddenly she felt a burning gaze on her.
She followed his gaze and saw Nangong Yuan's eyes as deep as spring water.
She paused for a moment, then put her hat down, hesitating for a moment.
Nangong Yuan was just about to wave and let her come over.
But he suddenly stood up and walked towards Qingyin.
Qingyin watched him walk towards her step by step, and it felt like a little man was dancing in her heart.
Before Nangong Yuan came close, she couldn't wait to run over and throw herself into his arms.
Nangong Yuan wrapped her tightly, "Still not working?"
"That's good." Qingyin put her face against his chest, feeling a little uncomfortable and a little happy.
Nangong Yuan felt pain in his heart.
During the past half month, he had wanted to be with her all the time.
But he knew that if the poison was not removed, and he stayed with her all the time, it would penetrate deep into her bones and it would be difficult to remove.
The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time before Nangong Yuan picked the person up by the waist and walked towards the inner room.
He put Qingyin on the bed and said, "Go to sleep. I'll be here."
Qingyin was a little confused. She suddenly reached out and grabbed his clothes, "Hug me again."
Nangong Yuan took the person into his arms again.
Qingyin couldn't wait to kiss his lips. Nangong Yuan was stunned for a moment and quickly responded.
Several times, Qingyin couldn't help but pull Nangong Yuan's clothes, but Nangong Yuan gently clamped her hands and clasped them at her sides.
Qingyin panted slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Nangong Yuan, you are going too far!"
Nangong Yuan kissed the red corners of her eyes and said, "Wait a little longer, the poison will be cured soon."
Qingyin sniffed and turned her face away, ignoring him.
Nangong Yuan put the man back on the couch and said, "Go to sleep."
Qingyin had no choice but to pull the quilt over herself and wrap herself up in it and sleep with her back to Nangong Yuan.
Let him know that I am angry.
Nangong Yuan suddenly smiled and stared at her back lovingly.
Until Qingyin fell asleep.
Nangong Yuan slowly stood up and walked towards the desk behind him. He sat down and suddenly spoke.
"You're here."
Nangong Yan sighed, "I never wanted to compete with you for this body."
"Really?" Nangong Yuan sneered, "But aren't you happy about the situation now? Perhaps, you will be able to replace me soon?"
He hasn't seen Qingyin in the past half month because of the poisonous insect.
There are also reasons of its own.
After returning from Xiangguo Temple, he found that Nangong Yan would appear even if he was not in a deep sleep.
Nangong Yan opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know how to explain.
Admittedly, he was somewhat happy and surprised when he found that he could appear during the day.
But gradually he discovered that the longer he was there, the faster A Yuan's body deteriorated.
It wasn't obvious on his face, but he could sense that A Yuan's heartbeat was starting to slow down.
Just now, he felt that A Yuan's heart was beating a little faster, but only a little faster.
"A Yuan, you must find the monk who gave your mother the amulet as soon as possible. I really never thought of competing with you." Nangong Yan said anxiously.
Nangong Yuan walked back to the table and said, "I know this, but in this situation, it's no longer a matter of whether you want to or not."
He had already sent people to look for the monk, but after A Niang asked for the amulet that year, the monk went on a journey around the world.
I haven't heard from him since.
Perhaps, this person may have died many years ago.
"A Yuan?"
Nangong Yan suddenly shouted.
After calling out, there was no response for a long time.
Nangong Yan couldn't help but become anxious.
This is the first time this has happened, and it seems to be getting worse.
Qingyin may have also sensed the uneasiness of the person next to her. She suddenly turned around and opened her eyes, only to find that there was no one by the bed. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but still no one was there.
