Chapter 3344: So, where are they?
He walked over, bowed to Nan Yan, and then said, "I am also your father's closed disciple."
“……!”
After saying this, Gao Ye looked at Nan Yan, who seemed to be speechless with shock. Instead, he smiled and said softly, "Your Highness, you haven't even figured out who your father is, have you?"
"No, it's not."
Only then did Nan Yan come back to her senses.
To be honest, ever since she knew that her life experience was different, Nan Yan has never stopped investigating her life experience in the past ten years. Even though she lived in the deep palace and could not go out, she had always been thinking about this matter in her heart. After all the hard work, she had pieced together a complete picture of her life experience over the years, but she did not expect that someone would come from thousands of miles away and tell her life experience in detail as soon as he opened his mouth.
It’s like the treasure you’ve been seeking all your life turns out to be just a toy in someone else’s hands.
This feeling inevitably made her a little sad.
However, she was still reluctant to show her disappointment on her face. After all, she was still the imperial concubine of Yan Kingdom and she still had to save some face.
Then, Nan Yan smiled faintly again and said, "I know the situation well."
“…”
"I just didn't expect that people thousands of miles away would also know about it."
Although Gao Ye was young, he possessed an extraordinary bearing. He addressed the Yan Kingdom's noble concubine with neither servility nor arrogance, saying, "The truth doesn't become blurred by distance. On the contrary, perhaps precisely because it's far away, the dust covering the truth is less."
He spoke Chinese much better than the favorite concubine Xiyun. It was even possible that Xiyun was taught Chinese by him. However, after all, he was in the Parthian Empire and probably did not speak Chinese easily for many years. So when he spoke, it was a little difficult for him to speak one word after another. But because of this, his words seemed more powerful.
Just like a prophecy.
As Nan Yan listened, her heart seemed to be struck by something invisible.
"The dust covering the truth...is not that much..."
She repeated it in a low voice, and when she looked up at Gao Ye again, she said with a complicated expression: "So, my father is indeed——"
Gao Ye said, "My master is Si Boyan."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
This truth was actually not surprising to her. In fact, the dust covering the truth had been almost completely blown away by her years of investigation. Now, the most important thing for her was another matter.
Nan Yan looked at Gao Ye, then at Xi Yun, who seemed to be chewing and trying hard to understand the Chinese they were speaking, and then said, "Then, who are I and her mother?"
Gao also said: "Qin Xixi."
These three words were like huge rocks falling from the sky, hitting Nan Yan's heart one by one.
She couldn't utter a word for a long time, and she felt like something was blocking her chest.
On the contrary, Gao Ye said these three words lightly, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked behind him. Not far behind him was the place where the emperor held a banquet to entertain the envoys. Because he was concerned about this place and he did not have any official position, he did not have to attend the banquet, so he found an excuse to withdraw and come here. He was very clear in his heart what these words meant to the Yan Kingdom.
Fortunately, there were no guards around, and the palace maid beside the imperial concubine of Yan State seemed to have experienced something big. Even after hearing these words, her expression remained unchanged. She just walked over and put her hand on the imperial concubine's back, saying something softly, as if to comfort her.
Gao Ye smiled and said, "After saying this, I'm really worried that I won't be able to return to Parthia."
“…”
Nan Yan took a few deep breaths under Ruo Shui's soothing caress, finally catching her breath. She looked up at Gao Ye again. Her expression wasn't bad, though her eyes were a little lost. After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "The envoys from Parthia came for the sake of diplomatic relations between our two countries. They have no other purpose. How could they not be able to return? I can guarantee this."
“…”
"As long as the special envoy really does what I said."
Gao Ye immediately understood what the imperial concubine meant when she heard it - they could just hear this sentence, but it must not be spread out of this pavilion. If it were to be spread out, she, the imperial concubine, would not let it go easily.
Gao Ye said, "I understand."
Although Nan Yan seemed calm, she was still deeply shocked. Even though this was something she had anticipated countless times, she took a deep breath and looked at Gao Ye, saying, "You, you and them—"
Gao Ye said calmly, "Master and his wife wandered the Western Regions for many years. I was a street kid, nearly dying of hunger and cold, but they saved my life with their kindness. Ever since then, I've followed them. Actually, at that time, Master's wife was already terminally ill. Master traveled extensively to save her and had no intention of taking me in. But I followed him anyway to save my life."
When Nan Yan heard this, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Her heart moved, and she remembered that Feng Shu had spoken of her past after seeing the painting by Wu Yingqiu and recognizing Marquis Bowang.
"At that time I was still young and wandering."
"And at that time, I was sick and almost dying."
"But I met him and he saved my life, so I remember him."
It seems that his father saved more than one person when he traveled to the Western Regions.
However, if I remember correctly, Feng Shu said that she was rescued by her father twelve or thirteen years ago, which means it was more than twenty years ago now.
More than 20 years ago...
Just thinking about this, Nan Yan's heart, which had just become clear, seemed to be covered with a layer of haze again, especially when she remembered what Feng Shu said later.
However, she did not open it immediately, and continued to listen to Gao Ye continue: "Master took pity on me and reluctantly agreed to accept me as his apprentice, and then-"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiyun.
The favorite concubine of the Parthian Empire also said without hesitation: "I was raised by my brother."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
No wonder, even though the two are not blood relatives, Xiyun calls him "little brother".
Then, Xiyun somehow became the favorite concubine of the king of Parthia by chance, just like she became the concubine of Yan State, and her younger brother naturally came under her protection. That's why the news that came back earlier said that although Gao Ye was not an official, he had a great influence on the court of Parthia.
Come to think of it, it’s similar to Yan Ye back then.
Nan Yan looked at the two of them in silence for a while, then took a deep breath and asked, "You've said so much, so where are they?"
