Chapter 2010 I'll be on guard against her!
Under the same moonlight, Nan Yan raised her head and looked at the dark sky. After a while, she let out a long sigh.
As soon as I finished sighing, I heard complaints behind me.
"Is the Queen bringing trouble upon herself again?"
It was Ran Xiaoyu's voice. As she spoke, a piece of clothing was already draped over her shoulders.
There seemed to be bonfires everywhere in the camp, so it didn't feel very cold. However, after putting on a piece of clothing, she still felt a lot warmer.
Nan Yan smiled and asked, "Why are you up too?"
Ran Xiaoyu said angrily: "Can't you get up?"
Because they were camping outside at night, she slept next to Nan Yan, but she was in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly found that the person next to her was gone.
She was so frightened that her soul almost flew away.
Fortunately, when I turned around, I saw Nan Yan standing here, staring at the camp and the starry sky above her head. Although she was angry, she immediately picked up a piece of clothing and came over.
She complained, "You're not sleeping so late, standing here in the wind. Your Majesty, don't you plan to take care of your health?"
Nan Yan said, "I can't sleep."
“…”
"That's why I came out for a walk. Besides, there are people all around here, so why are you worried?"
"snort!"
Ran Xiaoyu was still angry, but she considerately helped Nan Yan to tuck her clothes together to prevent her from being blown by the wind.
The two of them stayed in silence for a while, and Ran Xiaoyu turned around to look at Nan Yan. Although Nan Yan was joking with her, there was not much smile in her eyes, and her smile was not as relaxed and happy as usual.
She thought for a moment and then asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the Emperor?"
“…”
Nan Yan did not answer immediately. She just turned her head to look at the tall earthen city in the distance in the night. There was no movement inside.
She whispered, "I wonder how he is doing in there."
“…”
"We agreed that we'd just explore and come out."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "It's such a big earthen city. Even if you run back and forth, it will take half a day. Besides, the emperor can't just run around and come out."
"……Um."
"Besides, he has so many people with him. Just Ying Shao and his team are enough to take care of us. Your Majesty, please don't worry about it."
"You are really becoming more and more unruly, saying that I am worrying about nothing."
"Isn't it?"
"you--"
Nan Yan was both angry and amused, and reached out to twist Ran Xiaoyu's arm.
However, after the two of them laughed and joked around like this, she felt much happier than before.
She whispered, "I just feel weird."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her with wide eyes: "What's strange?"
Nan Yan looked around and found that except for the patrolling troops, everyone else had already fallen asleep. After all, it was past midnight and everyone had been tired all day and could no longer hold on.
A servant who was guarding the campfire heard their voices and came over cautiously: "My lady, would you like something to eat?"
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "Go back. I don't want anything."
"yes."
The man retreated cautiously.
Nan Yan said, "Let's go for a walk over there."
Ran Xiaoyu thought about it, then went over to get a torch, and helped her walk slowly to the side.
The road here is relatively flat, but there are many raised earth slopes and sandstone pillars on the wasteland, which are naturally formed by wind and sun. Under the light of the fire, it gives people a sense of supernatural craftsmanship.
Nan Yan walked with her slowly and slowly away from the camp.
As he walked, he said, "I'm just a little worried about Xue Yun."
Ran Xiaoyu's face suddenly darkened.
Still Xue Yun.
It's not that she doesn't understand Nan Yan's worries, or rather, since she saw Xue Yun again at the Lianxin Hall, she has been more wary of Xue Yun than anyone else.
She said, "Why is your Majesty worried about her?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said, "I don't understand why she insisted on following in."
“…”
"Logically speaking, she shouldn't be curious about this place. She's not the type to be curious about novelty."
“…”
"Why did she have to follow in?"
Ran Xiaoyu said with a stern face: "Your Majesty, why don't you worry about it? Why does she have to follow the emperor in?"
She emphasized the words in the middle, and they fell heavily on Nan Yan's heart one by one like stones.
She turned around and looked at Ran Xiaoyu.
He laughed and said, "You don't like her that much?"
"It has nothing to do with whether you like her or not."
“…”
"I just feel uneasy. I just feel that she makes me uneasy."
Nan Yan said: "I have already given the handkerchief to the emperor and asked him to return it to her."
“…”
"Pay it back, and everything will be fine."
Ran Xiaoyu shook her head stubbornly and said, "Even if the emperor returns the handkerchief to her, I still feel uneasy."
“…”
"I always feel that something else is going to happen."
Nan Yan was silent for a while and just smiled.
Then he said, "You are just too wary. She didn't do anything wrong and even helped me solve the Ma Lizi issue. Yet you are always on guard against her like a thief."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Some people have been thieves for a thousand years, and some people have been on guard against thieves for a thousand years."
“…”
"I'm just on guard against her!"
"But she may not be a thief."
"Your Majesty also said that it might not be the case, but we can't be sure that she isn't." Having said this, she looked at Nan Yan, as if blaming her, and said, "How can Your Majesty be sure that she isn't a 'thief'?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'm not sure."
“…”
"But I am willing to believe it."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu frowned at this, and Nan Yan said, "Xiaoyu, do you still remember Xia Yunting?"
Ran Xiaoyu nodded.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "At that time, when I found out that she was plotting against us behind our backs, I said that even though she disappointed me, I still want to believe that there are more good people than bad people in this world."
“…”
"I will not be disappointed in human nature."
“…”
"So, I won't treat every woman who comes close to me as a bad person. Because, when I use malice to speculate about everyone, it doesn't matter whether the other person is good or bad, but I am already a person full of malice and narrow-minded."
“…”
"I hope you won't be narrow-minded."
Hearing her words, Ran Xiaoyu seemed to be deeply touched.
She said softly, "I understand."
At this moment, a gust of wind blew and blew out the torch in Ran Xiaoyu's hand, and the scene in front of her eyes suddenly became pitch black.
Nan Yan said, "Go back and light it quickly, and bring me some water."
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "What about you, Madam?"
"I'll be waiting for you here, go quickly."
Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, and could only tell her to stand still, then turned around and ran back quickly.
Just as Ran Xiaoyu ran away, Nan Yan suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the stone pillar behind her.
It's the sound of human footsteps!
Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately turned around: "Who!?"
In the darkness, a tall figure slowly walked out from behind the stone pillar.
