Chapter 919 Someone Outside the Door
Nan Yan said, "Second Young Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Jian Ruocheng looked at her and said, "No."
"oh."
Nan Yan nodded, looked at him again, and nodded again: "Then——"
In fact, at this time, according to convention, Jian Ruocheng should take a step back, greet her politely, and ask her to rest early, just like when he sent the queen back before. Then she can push the door and go in "without any worries".
However, Jian Ruocheng did not speak.
Still looking at her.
He was holding a lantern in his hand. The light was not bright and could only barely illuminate the outlines of the two people. However, in such dim light, Nan Yan could see his eyes very clearly.
It flickers and glows slightly.
The two of them looked at each other quietly for a while.
At this time, even someone as experienced as Aunt Tongyun, standing aside, frowned.
Jian Ruocheng has always been a very decent and polite person, but the way he sent the imperial concubine back and stood at the door without leaving was indeed a bit beyond the identity of a minister - or, in other words, as an aide to Prince Ning.
So, Aunt Tongyun stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness, it's getting late."
Nan Yan immediately said, "Oh."
At this time, Jian Ruocheng seemed to have "woke up". His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said, "Your Highness, please rest early. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded.
So she turned around and walked into the house. When she turned around and watched Aunt Tongyun close the door, she saw Jian Ruocheng holding a lantern and slowly walking out.
Aunt Tongyun frowned and said softly, "Master Jian—oh no, Master Jian, what happened to him?"
“…”
"Could it be that he drank too much?"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly.
At this point, Aunt Tongyun glanced at her again and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor asked Lipin to go over tonight. Your Majesty won't be angry, right?"
“…”
Speaking of this, Nan Yan felt a little helpless.
She said: "It's not my turn to be angry."
“…”
"I can't be more angry about this."
Although she said so, Aunt Tongyun could clearly feel that she was not in a good mood.
After much effort, the emperor had finally changed his mind a little these days, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Tianjin City, Concubine Li took the opportunity to ascend to the throne again.
I really can't get rid of it.
Nian Qiu, who was making the bed on the other side, said unhappily, "Your Majesty, don't worry. When we get to the Imperial Palace in Peking, things won't be the same as they are now. It won't be her turn to hang around in front of the Emperor anymore."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She held onto the armrest of the chair and slowly sat down. Aunt Tongyun saw that her face looked strange, so she came over and said softly, "Your Highness has drunk quite a bit tonight, is she drunk too?"
“…A little, it seems.”
"Nianqiu, hurry down and ask the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup for the queen."
"Why."
Nian Qiu ran out immediately. Aunt Tongyun wanted to pour water for Nan Yan to wash, but when she touched it, she found that the water was a little cold because she came back so late.
She then went downstairs and fetched some hot water.
When she walked back from the lobby, it was freezing and snowy all the way, and she didn't feel the cold wind. But now when she returned to the room and the floor heating was on, Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable with the heat.
She stood up and pushed the window open.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the snow foam falling from the eaves towards us.
Nan Yan shivered a little due to the wind.
But, people have become a little more sober.
She wanted to look over to see what was happening over there with Zhu Feng, but she could no longer see anything from here.
If it's so late, I'm afraid they should go to bed.
…
Thinking of this, an indescribable feeling of depression welled up in my heart again.
Although I just told Aunt Tongyun and the others that it was not my turn to be angry and I couldn't be angry about this, but in fact, I can lie to others about the pain in my heart, but I can't lie to myself.
Zhu Feng's attitude towards him softened recently. Was it what they thought, that he was no longer under the control of some mysterious drug, or was it that he really just thought so?
Then, he is now close to Lipin...
Or is it what he wants?
Thinking of this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed her clothes at her chest.
A tear rolled down from my eye socket.
Just then, a familiar feeling came over me.
It seemed as if a pair of eyes were staring at me.
Nan Yan subconsciously raised her head and looked forward. Outside the window was a pitch-black world. Except for a little light from a lantern under the eaves of a house in the distance, almost nothing could be seen around her.
She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and looked outside with wide eyes.
Who is looking at me?
At this moment, the door was pushed open. She turned around hurriedly, only to see Aunt Tongyun walking in with hot water. Seeing her wide-eyed look, Aunt Tongyun was also stunned for a moment: "My Lady...what's wrong?"
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment. After a while, she whispered, "Aunt, is there anyone outside?"
"people?"
Aunt Tongyun came over and glanced out the window: "No one is there."
“…”
"I just walked all the way back and didn't see anyone."
"Yeah?"
Nan Yan felt a little confused. Could it be her illusion?
Aunt Tongyun said, "Your Highness, please stop imagining things. This is Prince Ning's residence after all. Not only is it guarded by Prince Ning's men, but the Emperor has also sent people around. How could anyone dare to peek at you from outside? They would be beheaded."
As she said this, she closed the window.
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Aunt Tongyun mixed the water and asked her to wash up quickly. Just then, Nianqiu brought some hangover soup from the kitchen. After she drank it, she finally felt better from the alcohol.
He let them leave and rested himself.
After Aunt Tongyun and the others left, she was the only one left in the huge room.
She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.
In the winter in the north, the wind howls at night, shaking the trees in the yard constantly. The shadows of the trees are reflected on the windows, giving people the feeling that there is someone outside.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the more I think about it, the more I feel like there’s someone outside the door.
She even seemed to hear footsteps.
Nan Yan felt that she might be drunk and still not sober, but the feeling became stronger and stronger, making her unable to help but get out of bed, walk barefoot to the door, and suddenly open the door.
Outside, it was indeed empty.
The cold wind brought her back to her senses and she smiled bitterly.
Really suspicious.
However, when she lowered her head again, she saw a piece of paper lying on a stone on the ground at the door.
