Chapter 3349 Father’s Death
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I wish everyone could be as straight as you."
Xiyun smiled so much that her eyes curved up, and said, "Our Majesty also said so."
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. This little sister was just like herself, having been away from her parents since childhood, raised by her junior brother. But seeing how straightforward she was, it was clear she had never suffered any injustice. After all, only those who knew they were loved and wouldn't be hurt dared to be frank. It was conceivable that Gao Ye must have been very kind to her.
As for how she later became the favorite concubine of the Parthian Empire, Nan Yan didn't know, but she could imagine it to some extent.
After all, there is a face that is so similar to mine.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud. She looked at Xiyun carefully. They were indeed very similar, but Xiyun's eyes and eyebrows were a bit more wild, and she was more unrestrained when she smiled. Her neat row of teeth looked snow-white against her slightly dark skin.
I don’t know what kind of person the King of Parthia is, but since he dotes on Xiyun so much and says such words to her, I think there must be some indulgence in his doting on Xiyun. He probably hopes to see her continue to be straightforward and not get hurt.
So Nan Yan smiled and said, "He treats you well, that's right."
Xiyun smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been very kind to me. When my mother passed away, we could only give her a simple burial. When Your Majesty learned of this, he specially rebuilt a mausoleum for her. That's why I came to the Emperor of Yan to ask for the Golden Jade Cloth. I hope that my mother's soul can rest in peace, free from the pain of illness."
“…”
"I never thought that by seeking the Golden Jade Robe, I would have the opportunity to meet my sister again."
“…”
"My brother-in-law is very good to me, and His Majesty is also very good to me. Like our mother, we can all find men who love us."
Nan Yan's face turned red at her blunt words.
But then, Xiyun sighed again and said with a sad face: "It's a pity that mother passed away too early."
Speaking of this, Nan Yan also felt uncomfortable.
She thought for a moment and said, "My mother died of the Black Death. What about my father? How did he—"
She couldn't say the word "death" directly like Xiyun did. Especially when she mentioned this matter, her throat was a little choked and she didn't finish her words. Fortunately, Xiyun understood and said, "I don't know either."
"What?"
Nan Yan frowned when she heard this: "How could you not know?"
Xiyun said, "I only know that my mother died of an illness, but I don't know anything about my father."
Nan Yan became more and more confused. Although she probably knew that Xiyun was also very young when her parents passed away, so she might not know as much about their affairs as Gao Ye, but at least her mother passed away before her father. She even knew that her mother died of illness, so how could she not know the cause of her father's death?
Nan Yan asked repeatedly before Xi Yun slowly said, "Because, the news of my father's death was only told to me by my brother. I didn't see his body, and I don't know how he died."
"What?"
Nan Yan's brows knitted even tighter: "Why is this happening?"
Xiyun said seriously, "I only remember that after my mother died, I was still very young. My father was unhappy all day long. He took my little brother and me to live in different places every day. I almost got sick. Then suddenly one day, he disappeared, leaving only a letter for my little brother. My little brother told me that my father had gone to look for my mother and that he would take care of me from now on. Later I learned that my father's pursuit of my mother meant that he was going to die."
Nan Yan's heart sank when she heard this.
That is, they didn't actually see their father die.
However, if the words left by the father were to go and look for the mother, then this sentence would almost be equivalent to a last will and testament.
only--
How could he be so cruel as to abandon his young daughter? Even though he had a trustworthy apprentice, Gao Ye was not much older than Xiyun. At that time, he was probably just a slightly more sensible child.
Nan Yan was a little confused, but it was obvious that Xi Yun, who was still young at that time, would not be able to answer her questions, so Nan Yan did not ask any more questions. She just held her hand and gently comforted her: "The past is the past. No matter what, you are doing well now. I am relieved."
Xiyun smiled at her.
The two chatted for a while before someone from the kitchen brought over a meal, claiming it was arranged by the Emperor. Nan Yan blushed at Xi Yun's smile. Besides Nan Yan's portion, the meal also included some spicy, pungent food, which Xi Yun liked. The two ate different dishes while chatting about personal matters. In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
At this time, Zhu Feng walked in from outside. When Nan Yan saw him, she immediately stood up and saluted.
Zhu Feng waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, then walked in and sat down, saying with a smile, "Aren't you two sisters finished talking about your personal matters?"
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Now that we're done, let's chat."
Xiyun blinked her big eyes and looked at the two of them, then smiled and said, "Sister and brother-in-law must have something intimate to say. I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, she stood up and left with her maid.
Zhu Feng wasn't angry either, he just smiled as he watched her walk away. Nan Yan was also smiling, but when she saw Zhu Feng looking at Xi Yun's back with a smile on his face, she frowned again, coughed deliberately, and said, "If the emperor looks at me again, my eyes will pop out!"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he turned around and glared at her.
"What are you messing around with?"
"Isn't it?"
"I just think it looks familiar, why are you jealous?"
"Look familiar? Why do you look familiar?"
Zhu Feng sneered, "Why, just because you're a few years older, you've forgotten how foolish you were in front of me when you were young."
When Nan Yan heard this, she couldn't help laughing.
Although she had been cautious in front of Zhu Feng most of the time in the past, and not necessarily as bold as Xiyun, the two of them were indeed similar. Looking at her silly look, she could indeed recall her own silly appearance in the past.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies by so fast."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "The child is already this big, isn't life going by so fast?"
Zhu Feng said: "It's a pity that your parents still can't meet you after all."
Nan Yan's heart sank slightly.
She thought of what Xiyun had just said to her—perhaps, as long as there was no body, they could hold out a little hope. But if Marquis Bowang was really still alive, why would he not show up for decades and not even care about his two daughters?
In Nan Yan's opinion, the hope that he is still alive is very slim.
