Chapter 1597: Is there a grudge between you and the emperor?
The mysterious man opposite, who was always confident in everyone and everything and had no doubt about his control over everything, finally smiled and took a step back.
He said, "Of course not."
Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, "That's it."
“…”
"If Your Excellency changes your mind at the last minute, I don't know whether I should follow the Emperor to such a dangerous place."
The other party smiled faintly, and seemed to have calmed down at this time. He said lightly: "Your Highness, you can rest assured about this."
“…”
"Now, you and I are in the same boat."
Nan Yan's eyes flickered as she said, "Since we are already on the same boat, can I, the Queen, see your true face?"
The mysterious man was slightly startled.
"You want to see me?"
Nan Yan said as a matter of course: "You also said that we are people in the same boat."
“…”
"What's more, this ship isn't sailing on a calm sea, but rather on a sea filled with hidden reefs and extremely dangerous."
“…”
"If you don't pay attention, the ship will be destroyed and people will die."
“…”
"The companions you choose at times like this must be people you can trust with your life. Only such people can be your companions."
The other party fell silent.
This silence came rather suddenly, and there was a stuffy feeling in the air.
Nan Yan didn't feel that her words offended him. Instead, it seemed that after hearing her words, he thought of something and fell into deep thought.
Nan Yan frowned slightly and looked at the figure behind the screen.
After a long while, the mysterious man said, "You are right."
“…”
"Choosing companions can sometimes determine one's success or failure, or even life or death."
“…”
Nan Yan's heart moved slightly.
But she still tried her best to control her emotions, making herself appear calm and even frank when she spoke, "In that case, could you please——"
But before she could finish her words, the other party interrupted her.
"Not now."
"What?"
"I can meet with the Imperial Concubine, but not now."
"When was that?"
"When I return from this journey west, regardless of success or failure, I will be able to meet with the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
She stepped forward and said seriously, "As I just said, this journey is extremely dangerous. If I don't have absolute certainty, how can I know that I can trust you?"
“…”
"There is indeed a grudge between the emperor and me because of my father's murder."
“…”
"But what about you, sir?"
“…”
"If your hatred wasn't as intense and unforgiving as mine, and if at some point you suddenly let it go and pulled away, wouldn't that mean I'd be doomed?"
When the other party heard this, he sneered clearly.
That laughter made Nan Yan feel a chill in her heart.
She said, "You—"
The other party said slowly: "Your Highness, you can rest assured about this."
“…”
"Although I cannot meet you now, in this respect, I am the same as you."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, she thought about it again and suddenly understood something.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the other person's figure——
"You, what did you say? Do you have a grudge against the emperor?"
