Chapter 52: King Yan "gives way to the wise"
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly, "Knowing that you are stupid doesn't mean you are hopelessly stupid."
Xia Yunting looked back at her helplessly: "Selected Concubine Ran..."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You're right, but I won't do that again in the future."
Xia Yunting turned his head and looked at her again, saying, "That makes sense. You've advised me before not to pay attention to them. In the future, no matter what they say, just ignore them. You won't suffer such a loss again."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I understand."
Although she looked haggard and had wounds on her body, when she smiled, her eyes curved and she looked particularly bright, as if the sun was shining on her face. Even Ran Xiaoyu and Xia Yunting couldn't help but be stunned when they saw her.
Xia Yunting coughed lightly and said, "Would you like to rest for a while?"
Nan Yan asked, "No one else knows about our fight, right?"
Xia Yunting said, "What are you talking about? You were the one who started it. If people knew about it, what would happen?"
"That--"
"No one is in charge here right now, and no one knows about it for now."
"Oh, what about Du Siyao and the others?"
"They?" Xia Yunting hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Ran Xiaoyu. Ran Xiaoyu said, "She's gone."
"Gone? Where did you go?"
"I don't know. After I chased them away, they were still swearing. But at night, it seemed like someone came in. Then I saw her and she left."
"Oh..." Nan Yan nodded, and suddenly remembered something. She looked at the bright sunlight outside the window and asked, "Now, what time is it?"
Xia Yunting said, "It's almost noon."
"I--"
"You've been sleeping for almost a day."
Nan Yan gasped. She thought she was only unconscious for a while, but she didn't expect that she had been unconscious for so long. In fact, she forgot that she had been on night duty for Zhu Feng for two consecutive days and was already exhausted. That was why she fell unconscious during the beating by Du Siyao and the others.
Nan Yan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I, I slept all day. Didn't His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan call me over?"
Xia Yunting smiled and said, "His Highness has no time to care about you right now."
"ah?"
"You may not know, but the eunuchs outside said that all the civil and military officials came to court yesterday, and they all supported His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to ascend the throne, but His Royal Highness refused and declined several times. Now, they are still kneeling outside the Huagai Palace, begging His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to ascend the throne."
“…”
"Ah, Your Highness is truly kind."
“…”
"He also said that the ministers in the court should choose another capable person."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her quietly without saying anything for a while. She only heard Ran Xiaoyu sneer and turn to leave their room.
Xia Yunting asked blankly, "What is she laughing at?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile and just said, "Nothing."
Xia Yunting was indeed a little too naive. Zhu Feng went all the way south from Peking under the banner of "pacifying the rebellion". So many people died. Was it really just to "clear the court"?
Now, his nephew, the emperor, has been declared dead. If this world is not his, who else can it be?
Now, he is just imitating the ancient sages.
But Xia Yunting couldn't see it, and just thought that Prince Yan really wanted to "give way to the wise."
How is it possible? How many people in the world can resist the temptation of that golden dragon throne?
Nan Yan was just thinking when a young eunuch suddenly ran in from outside. She barely recognized him as the little button beside Eunuch Yu. He walked in and said, "Si Nan Yan, the prince wants to tell you to go over."
