Chapter 938 My True Heart Is—You!
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and saw the person in front of her clearly.
"Not hurt? Why are you here?"
Li Bushang took a step forward and stood in front of her in an instant. He looked down at him, his wolf-like eyes filled with unspeakable pain.
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him, speechless for a moment.
Although she had seen the child grow up during the day at the great altar, she could only see him clearly at this moment when he stood in front of her, so close to her, looking down at her. The two of them were so close to each other.
This kid... has really grown up.
The childishness between his brows had faded away completely, not even a trace of youthfulness remained, and only a sense of steel-like determination, coupled with those wolf-like eyes, looking at him under such moonlight, Nan Yan inexplicably had a feeling -
The illusion of watching a lone wolf break into your room.
She subconsciously took a step back.
But immediately, a sense of amusement arose in my heart. What happened to me?
This is Li Bushang.
This was Li Bushang, who was so close to her in the past and whom she treated as a younger brother. Although they had not spent much time together before and he had been away from her for two years, she believed that their feelings would not change.
Just like today at the Great Altar, in such a critical moment, as soon as I opened my mouth, he came to my aid.
So, he smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
However, there was no smile on Li Bushang's face. He just frowned and looked down at her: "Why?"
"Um?"
"Why did you do that?"
“…”
“Is it worth it?”
“…”
Unexpectedly, he would question me like this.
Nan Yan had been questioned by too many people that day. At this moment, she felt exhausted. She sighed, turned around, walked back to the table and sat down, and whispered, "Why are you asking too?"
"Why can't I ask?"
Li Bushang walked in step by step.
The murderous aura from him instantly filled the entire house.
Nan Yan just thought that he felt sorry for her. After all, this younger brother had no relatives. He had been so close to her and treated her as a sister. Seeing her current state, he would also feel sorry for her.
Nan Yan raised her head, looked at him, and said softly, "Nothing is worth it."
“…”
“I wanted to do it, and I did it.”
“…”
"It's that simple."
Hearing her words, a light suddenly flashed in Li Bushang's eyes, as if something unspeakable was expanding and surging violently in his body.
Nan Yan looked at him like this, sighed softly, and said, "By the way, how did you get here? This is the cold palace. As a Jinyiwei, you can't come here, right?"
“…”
Li Bushang was silent for a moment before he said, "I want to come see you."
“…”
“No one can stop it.”
“…”
Hearing his tone, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.
In fact, she was a little surprised when she saw him, but when she thought of the skills he had displayed during the day, she knew that no one would be able to stop him from going anywhere in the palace.
She said, "No one noticed?"
"No."
"That's good."
Nan Yan thought about it, pointed to the stool next to her, and said, "Then sit down and let me take a good look at you."
“…”
Li Bushang was silent for a moment, pulled the stool over and sat next to her.
The two people looked at each other in the dim light of a candle after not seeing each other for a long time.
Nan Yan said, "You have grown up."
Li Bushang's face darkened again: "I am not small to begin with."
"How can it not be small?"
Thinking of him in the past, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile and gestured with her hand: "Before, you were only this tall, dark, and thin. Although you were almost sixteen when we met, I still thought you were only eleven or twelve."
Li Bushang closed his mouth and said nothing.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that in just two years, you've changed so much. If you hadn't told me, and just looked at me like this, I wouldn't have believed that you were the same Bu Shang from back then."
“…”
Li Bushang looked up at her: "But, you are still the Nan Yan of the past."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned by what he said.
But he smiled bitterly.
"How is that possible?"
Back then, I was just a female official in the imperial court, and even a slave. Following Zhu Feng, I was always worried about my future, not knowing where I would be the next moment.
During these two years, she became his concubine and gave birth to his daughter.
I have experienced so many changes in the harem.
We experienced the Civil War and so many changes.
Now, the situation has become precarious again.
As she spoke, a wry smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Come to think of it, it seems like a reincarnation."
“…”
“We’re back to square one.”
Li Bushang looked at her haggard appearance and recalled everything that happened at the altar today.
The excitement that had been surging in his chest was now even more difficult to suppress. He stared at Nan Yan with his wolf-like eyes and suddenly said, "You, why didn't you wait for me?"
"What?"
Nan Yan was a little stunned when she suddenly heard these inexplicable words.
She raised her head and suddenly saw that Li Bushang's eyes were slightly red in the candlelight.
"Why didn't you wait for me?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then vaguely remembered that two years ago, he had said these words to her -
"Nan Yan, wait for me."
"Two years, at most."
"I will definitely grow up and become useful. I won't let anyone bully you, not even the Emperor!"
…
Unexpectedly, two years later, he still remembered it.
At this moment, the candlelight next to it flickered and dimmed.
It's the candle wick, it's about to sink into the wax.
Nan Yan stood up and walked over, plucking the candle wick with a hairpin. When the candlelight lit up again, she whispered, "Didn't I tell you? No matter what you become, you should always do it for yourself. Don't forget your original heart."
"But my true intention is—"
Li Bushang suddenly stood up and took a step towards her.
When Nan Yan turned around, she saw him approaching her.
The two of them were almost sticking together.
At that moment, the feeling of being stared at by a wolf and even treated as prey suddenly flooded into Nan Yan's heart again.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Just then, a familiar voice came from the door.
"What are you going to do to her?"
