Chapter 2589 You are——
A light bulb went off in Nan Yan's mind, and she remembered the other person's name.
"Empress Xiuyun, long time no see."
When she said this, she felt a little emotional. The four words "long time no see" were not polite at all to the two of them.
After leaving the Kingdom of Neng, she had seen Arslan, Monk, and even Mandu again, but she had never seen Empress Xiuyun again. In fact, after Ashige's death, she had a vague feeling that this quiet and peaceful woman who loved to hang out with pigeons might not survive.
Because she is from Ashig.
Ashig conspired to rebel against his master, and died in a foreign land due to the conspiracy of Monk and Arslan. Afterwards, his power was divided by the two people. As for his people, they were naturally slaughtered to prevent future troubles.
But unexpectedly, Xiu Yun was not dead.
Not only is she not dead, judging from the way she is dressed and the fact that she can walk freely in the military camp, she is probably living a good life.
However, Nan Yan didn't find it too strange.
There are many ways for people to survive. It is not shameful for a wise bird to choose the right tree to roost in.
Moreover, it is a good thing that such a gentle and quiet woman is still alive.
Xiu Yun saw Nan Yan looking her up and down. She understood what Nan Yan was thinking after seeing her. She said nothing more, but smiled and said, "I was also there when the Empress and the Emperor of Yan came to the camp."
"Huh? Why didn't I see you?"
"At that time, it seemed that the Imperial Concubine only had eyes for His Majesty the Emperor of your country."
When Nan Yan heard this, she coughed lightly.
After entering the enemy camp, she was naturally most concerned about Zhu Feng's safety. Her mind was focused on him alone. No wonder she didn't notice Xiu Yun was there.
Xiu Yun continued, "I was thinking, since we haven't seen each other for a long time, I'd like to find a time to catch up with you. However, the Emperor just sent an order saying that tonight's dinner is cancelled. So, aren't you staying here overnight?"
Nan Yan said, "Our emperor has something else to do."
"Oh, that's it."
“…”
"Since we didn't have to prepare a dinner, I thought you'd probably talk for a while, so I planned to go feed the pigeons. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty, you came out."
"Feeding the pigeons?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes lit up.
Then she saw that Xiuyun was holding a handkerchief filled with a lot of millet.
By the way, back then in the imperial palace of Kulun City, Xiu Yun was also alone in her palace, quietly feeding many pigeons.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to do either. I'll go with you."
Xiu Yun smiled and said, "If your Majesty doesn't mind the mess over there, then let's go together."
So the two of them left the camp.
Before leaving, the soldiers guarding the camp reminded them not to go too far. However, Xiuyun didn't take her too far. After leaving the camp for a while, they walked to the river.
This river should be the Yulian River that I heard about in Handongwei before, but the river channel is very narrow, so it should be just a tributary.
The river gurgles, sparkling with thousands of points of light in the sunlight.
On the shore, many pigeons were flying.
As soon as she saw the pigeons, a gentle smile appeared on Xiuyun's face. She walked over, grabbed a handful of millet and sprinkled it forward. Suddenly, the pigeons perched on the treetops, on the river bank, and even flying in the sky all flew over, scrambling to peck at the millet.
The wind stirred up by the flapping of wings made her dress flutter.
Xiuyun looked at the birds gently and smiled.
Seeing this scene, Nan Yan suddenly felt dazed.
It seems like we are back to many years ago.
He was kidnapped by Arslan and followed Monk and others to Kulun City, the capital of the Kingdom of Dian. He saw this quiet woman for the first time in the palace. She seemed to have not changed much from then to now.
Nan Yan stepped forward and said, "Let me help you."
Xiu Yun smiled and said, "Okay."
She gave half of the millet to Nan Yan, and Nan Yan also scattered the millet like her. Many pigeons flew over, and some even flew directly into her hands.
Nan Yan was so scared that she screamed and laughed.
Xiu Yun said from the side: "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt anyone, and they won't hurt you if they land on your hand. Just give them food."
Nan Yan calmed down. These pigeons were indeed very docile. They landed on her arms, cooing, and staring at her with their amber eyes.
Nan Yan fed a few of them in succession, and after the millet was spread out, the pigeons flew away again.
Xiu Yun stood there, smiling and saying, "They're so carefree. When they have food, they eat. When they don't, they fly up to the sky and enjoy the scenery freely. They're truly the envy of others."
Nan Yan turned to look at her: "I heard what Empress Xiu Yun said, why do you seem to envy them."
“…”
"You are the concubine of the Emperor of Dan... Moreover, he even takes you with him on his marches, which shows how much he dotes on you. How can you envy pigeons?"
Xiu Yun glanced at her, just smiled and said nothing.
Although it is already autumn, as Nan Yan said before, the autumn tiger seems to be coming back. The sun is more scorching than in the past few days. After standing in the sun for a while, my cheeks are sunburned and my forehead is sweating.
Xiuyun walked to the river, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face. He felt cooler after washing it.
She doesn't even wear makeup.
After washing my face, I look more beautiful and charming.
Nan Yan stood aside and looked at her. Somehow, the two of them were not familiar with each other. Even when they were in Kulun City, they did not have a close relationship. But at this moment, he seemed to want to talk to her.
She asked, "By the way, where is Princess Baoyin?"
"Oh, Her Royal Highness the Princess is staying in Kulun City."
"Is she married?"
"not yet."
"Looking at it, she's not young anymore."
"Yes, but with a temper like that of the princess, she would look down on ordinary people."
Nan Yan smiled.
That's true. She had a deep memory of Princess Baoyin's temper. She herself was a person who didn't give in to others, but when she met such a straightforward and somewhat reckless girl, she could only suffer a setback.
At this time, Xiuyun stood up. Maybe because she had been squatting for too long, her legs felt numb. As soon as she stood up straight, she staggered two steps and almost fell.
Nan Yan hurriedly reached out to support her.
But I saw that her face was slightly pale. She had just washed her face and sweat was coming out on her forehead again.
She forced a smile at Nan Yan and said, "Thank you—"
Before she could finish her words, Xiujun suddenly frowned. Nanyan was stunned when she saw her like this, wondering if she was feeling unwell. When she was about to ask, she saw Xiujun covering her mouth with her hand and making a dry heaving sound.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiu Yun's somewhat uncomfortable expression.
He whispered: "You are—"
