Chapter 1662 Ink Stains
Li Lai opened the door in a panic. When he saw Nan Yan, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your humble servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan raised her hand calmly and said, "Okay, no need to be so polite."
“…”
"Your throat isn't healed yet, so don't talk too much."
Li Lai said hoarsely, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he carefully stepped aside and let Nan Yan walk in.
Nan Yan walked slowly into his room and looked around. She saw pens, ink, and a stack of papers on the table by the window. Naturally, they were what Xue Ling had just brought over.
Li Lai followed behind her and whispered, "I wonder what instructions the Imperial Concubine has for you."
"No orders, I just came to see you."
Nan Yan glanced around, then smiled and said, "Look at what you are doing?"
"No, nothing."
"Oh? Nothing? But I just met Miss Xue, and she said you asked her to bring some pen, ink, and paper."
When he heard Xue Ling, Li Lai's expression froze slightly.
But he nodded immediately: "Yes."
"Are you writing something?"
As she spoke, Nan Yan slowly walked to the window and looked down. The stack of papers was still blank, as if nothing was written on it.
Li Lai smiled and said, "No."
"Yeah?"
Nan Yan smiled as she picked up the top piece of paper. She glanced at it with a half-smile, then looked at Li Lai and said, "I don't know what the rules are outside the palace, but in the palace, no one can lie to me."
“…”
"If anyone lies to me, I will punish them."
As she spoke, she glanced at the paper again. Although there was nothing written on it, there were clearly some ink stains printed on it.
And, it's winding.
It's like something was drawn on a piece of paper pressed on top, which would cause ink stains like this.
Li Lai was stunned.
He was so frightened that he knelt down hastily and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
His voice was dry, like a sharp knife grinding against rough gravel. When he spoke like this, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
Nan Yan was standing in the room, and she could vaguely see a figure swaying outside from the corner of her eye.
Obviously, it was someone following her.
Although on the surface, she was just walking around the Commandant's Mansion alone, but knowing that she was going to the West Wing, Zhu Feng naturally would not really let her do that. Even if he couldn't see, he knew that there must be a lot of people following her in the dark.
Now, seeing himself entering Li Lai's room alone, he questioned him like this again.
Those people were afraid that something might happen and were ready to take action.
It was precisely because of this that Nan Yan became even more fearless. She looked down at Li Lai and said, "Do I still say the same thing?"
“…”
"I am a noble concubine. Anyone who lies to me will be punished."
“…”
"If it's not something urgent, it's best to tell the truth."
“…”
"Only by telling the truth can you avoid punishment."
Li Lai was kneeling on the ground. He looked a little pitiful because his legs were not flexible and he was a little thin.
He hesitated for a long time, then looked up at Nan Yan and sighed deeply, as if he had finally given up something.
He whispered, "Please forgive me, Madam."
After saying that, he stood up.
Nan Yan originally thought that he was going to say something, but he didn't say a word and just walked straight towards her.
This time, the figure outside shook even more violently.
