Chapter 1432 You hesitated
She looked around with some confusion, and was about to walk into the private room with a frown, when suddenly, her whole body froze.
There was actually a person standing in the private room!
The man was standing by the window, with his back to him, looking down through the half-open window.
Nan Yan was startled when a stranger suddenly appeared in the private room, which she thought was empty. She hurriedly wanted to call for help, but before she could say anything, she heard a familiar, faint voice coming from the bedside.
"You're here."
“……!”
At this moment, Nan Yan's heart almost jumped out of her throat.
This voice—
This voice belonged to the mysterious master whom he had met on the mysterious ship at sea and on the ship where he and Li Bushang were picked up!
Nan Yan was stunned. She didn't expect him to appear in this place.
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse.
"You, how could you——"
"Why are you here?"
When the other party heard this, he seemed to chuckle and then slowly turned around.
"Of course, it's because I want to see the Imperial Concubine."
He stood by the window. Although the window was ajar, the sunlight still shone through the window paper, illuminating his familiar figure. Compared to any previous time, when only a figure could be seen through the screen, this time, Nan Yan was closest to him.
It can be clearly seen that he is a thin man wearing a very tight-fitting long gown and a thick fox fur coat.
The fluffy fur on his collar almost covered most of his face.
In the private room, the curtain that had been hung up was lowered at this time, just covering the other half of his face.
Nan Yan still couldn't see him.
She frowned and walked in subconsciously.
But after taking two steps, he heard the man smiling and saying calmly, "If the Imperial Concubine wishes to see me, it is very easy. However, shouldn't you be more worried about your daughter and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?"
“……!”
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Xinping, and Zhu Chengxuan!
They haven't come back yet, could it be that—
"They, you, what did you do?"
Although the mysterious man's face was completely covered and he should not be able to see Nan Yan's frightened expression, it seemed that at this moment, he had completely grasped Nan Yan's emotions, so even if he couldn't see it, he could still feel it.
He smiled calmly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry."
“…”
"I am not interested in these two little kids."
“…”
"On the contrary, they are more interested in the excitement on the streets."
Nan Yan's heart almost skipped a beat.
She had no idea that Xinping was running like crazy in the crowd at this moment, holding a string of bright red candied haws in her hand, laughing and dancing, while Zhu Chengxuan behind her was afraid that she would fall, so he followed her all the way, protecting her with both hands.
She kept shouting, "Xinping, Xinping, sister, don't run around, or you'll get scolded."
"Haha, hahahahaha."
"Don't run anymore, brother can't catch up with you."
"elder brother!"
When Xinping heard that her brother couldn't catch up, she stopped again, tilted her head and looked at Zhu Chengxuan who was panting and following behind her, then ran back happily, threw herself into his arms, and even put the candied haws in her hand to his mouth -
"Brother, eat."
"Brother doesn't eat it, you eat it."
Zhu Chengxuan finally caught her and hugged her tightly. He looked back at his surroundings and saw a crowd of people. He had just run around because of Xinping, and he followed her and lost the people who were following him.
He hugged his sister tightly and said, "Don't run around anymore, you won't be able to find your way back."
As he spoke, he walked back carefully along the way he came, blending in with the crowd.
Nan Yan's palms were covered in sweat, and her voice trembled slightly. "You, you swear that you didn't touch my daughter, nor did you touch the King of Wei."
The man behind the curtain said calmly, "I don't need to swear."
“…”
"There's no need to lie to you about my identity."
“…”
"Just like what I told you before, you should have been confirmed."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan became more nervous than when he talked about Xin Ping and Zhu Chengxuan.
My whole body trembled slightly.
She said in a panic, "What did you say?"
The other party's tone suddenly became cold: "Aren't you very clear about what I am talking about?"
“…”
"You said you had to find evidence before you could believe it. Now, so much time has passed, you should have found it by now."
“…”
Nan Yan stood there without moving.
But his palms were already full of cold sweat.
She bit her lower lip and was silent for a long time. Then she said in a hoarse voice, "I, I haven't had the chance to look for it yet."
“…”
"You have to give me a little more time."
“…”
This time, the other party did not speak immediately, but stood quietly on the balcony.
Although he didn't move, the other party's gaze became sharp, as if he wanted to see through the curtain in the middle, and even see through Nan Yan's body and soul.
He said grimly, "You already know the outcome."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart twitched violently again, almost stopping her heartbeat and suffocating her breathing.
She lowered her head in panic.
The other party said: "But you hesitated."
“…”
"Why hesitate?"
“…”
"Could it be because—"
The other party dragged out the voice for a long while, but suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems that women are women."
Nan Yan frowned: "You, what do you mean?"
The other party smiled faintly and said, "If my guess is correct, you must have suffered a lot of grievances in the past few days."
“…”
"But now, the emperor has taken you out of the cold palace. Before that, he even let you live in his bedroom and took great care of you."
“…”
"Now, you are back in Yikun Palace."
“…”
"The former imperial concubine who was favored by all the people is back again."
“…”
"Of course you don't want to face the hatred you have for him. After all, that would mean abandoning the wealth and glory you currently enjoy, as well as everything he's given you."
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said coldly, "You can provoke me, but there's no need to humiliate me with such words."
"oh?"
"I've lived through both good and bad times. I'm not afraid of going back to when I had nothing. Even wealth and glory won't make me bow my head."
"Then why do you hesitate?"
"I--"
Just as she hesitated again, the other party chuckled and said, "You won't tell me that it's for your child, right?"
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes flashed slightly.
She suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, it's for the children."
