Chapter 1702: Common people, of course they care
Nan Yan looked at him: "Is your voice... okay?"
She heard Li Lai's voice, which was no longer as hoarse as before. It sounded completely like the voice of an old man. Now, although it was still a little hoarse, it had recovered a lot.
Li Lai kowtowed and said, "These past few days, the doctors in the mansion have been treating me, and I've gotten much better."
"oh……"
"I originally wanted to thank the Emperor and His Majesty, but I heard that His Majesty was pregnant, so I didn't dare disturb her, so—"
Nan Yan smiled faintly: "It's okay."
As she spoke, she slowly walked in and sat down on a chair. Tingfu hurried over to protect her.
Li Lai stood up carefully and walked in front of her.
Nan Yan looked up at him.
Although he was always in the house, his clothes were very neat. Looking back, from the first time I met him, although this person was dressed simply, he gave people the feeling of being clean and tidy and easy to approach.
However, his expression was always cautious.
Seeing Nan Yan looking at him, Li Lai became more cautious and said softly, "I wonder what instructions the Queen has for you today."
Nan Yan said: "Nothing, just came to take a look."
“…”
"You hurt your throat helping Xiaoyu, and I'm worried you haven't recovered yet."
Li Lai said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now. But I heard that the Emperor seems to be preparing—"
Before he could finish his words, Tingfu immediately scolded him, "How dare you!"
Li Lai was so scared that he knelt down quickly.
Tingfu said, "How can you interfere in the Emperor's affairs? You are so bold!"
Li Lai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Nan Yan remained calm and raised her hand, signaling Ting Fu to stop talking. Ting Fu immediately took a step back. Then Nan Yan said calmly, "The Emperor is indeed planning to use military force against Thermidor, but this is a matter of the imperial court, not something you, a mere commoner, should be involved in."
Li Lai seemed to be at a loss as to what to do. Even after Nan Yan had said so much, he still said, "I just want to know whether the emperor will follow the path I have suggested."
"That way?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why do you care so much about this matter?"
Li Lai said, "It's about whether we can wipe out those sand bandits... I, a commoner, of course, care."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him for a while.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside and a familiar voice said at the door: "Li Lai!"
This voice belongs to Xiao Shunzi.
Nan Yan looked up and saw Xiao Shunzi walk in. He was surprised to see Nan Yan sitting inside and hurried forward to pay his respects: "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan asked, "Xiao Shunzi, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "The emperor sent this servant to summon Li Lai to see him."
"oh……"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows again, and with a glance, she saw a hint of joy on Li Lai's face.
She said, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "This, I am not very clear about. However, several generals are in the study, and they seem to be talking about sending troops."
"oh."
This time, Nan Yan didn't ask any more questions.
He just said to Li Lai: "It seems that your worries are not in vain. Go."
Li Lai hurriedly said, "Yes."
Nan Yan naturally didn't need to stay in his room, so she got up and walked out together with several people.
As soon as I walked to the door, I met Chu Xin and Xue Ling.
