Chapter 971 Follow me!
Only then did I realize that this child has indeed grown up.
The next moment, Li Bushang grabbed her wrist, pulled her in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Come with me!"
Nan Yan was caught off guard and stumbled, almost bumping into him.
She raised her head in panic and looked into Li Bushang's eyes: "Let's go?"
"Come with me." Li Bushang said firmly, "Do you still want to stay here?"
“…”
Nan Yan did not answer this question.
She just lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking blankly for a while, then raised her head and said softly, "Where are we going?"
“…”
Li Bushang obviously had not prepared an answer to this question and was stunned by her question.
Where to go...
This seemed to be a question he had never considered.
He just wanted her to go with him.
As for where to go, as long as he is there, she will be safe and can rest assured.
But Nan Yan didn’t think it was that simple.
Ever since she married Zhu Feng, her home has been by his side, in the imperial city, where she lives with not only him but also their daughter Xinping.
But now, after being taken away by Li Bushang, can she still return to the imperial city?
If Zhu Feng had completely ignored her when she was kidnapped and only thought about conferring the title of Concubine Ning, would the place around him still be her home and her place of peace of mind?
Can I still go back?
At this moment, he was in a state of confusion.
But Li Bushan seemed to be completely unaware of it and said without hesitation, "Follow me!"
As he spoke, he tightened his grip on her wrist.
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him. At this moment, her red eyes and the tears in her eyes were exposed to him without any cover.
It can also make Li less sad.
I said I would protect her and never let her get hurt again, but...
You must take her away!
I felt his hand tightening, and my slender wrist felt like it would be broken at any moment in his palm.
Nan Yan struggled slightly in pain: "It's not hurt, let me go first, you hurt me."
When he heard that he had hurt her, Li Bushang quickly let go of his hand and held her wrist carefully.
"I hurt you, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine."
Nan Yan shook her head, pulled her hand back from his palm, looked up at him again, and said softly: "It's not hurt, I can't leave now."
"What?!"
When he heard her say she would not leave, Li Bushang immediately raised his voice.
He stared at her with wide eyes: "Why?!"
Nan Yan was so scared that she covered his mouth with her hand: "Keep your voice down, be careful that people outside hear you!"
"If you hear it, then you can go with me."
“…”
His childish words made Nan Yan laugh and cry. It seemed that no matter how long they were apart, or how old he grew, he was still that ignorant little wolf cub at heart.
She sighed softly and said patiently, "It's okay. I said I wouldn't leave, not out of anger."
"Then why?"
"I'll stay. I have one more thing to do."
"What's up?"
Nan Yan said softly, "Master Jian Ruocheng has joined Prince Ning's army and is working for him. Today during the day, I overheard them discussing the purchase of a large quantity of ironware in their study."
“…”
Li Bushang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ironware...
As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he certainly knew very well what this meant, and he also understood the purpose of Prince Ning purchasing weapons at this time.
But his tone seemed very calm: "So——"
"So, I'm going to put a stop to this."
Nan Yan looked him in the eyes seriously and said, "Second Master Jian proposed to Prince Ning that he would take me with him on this business deal, and that they would discuss it at sea."
“…”
"If I can, I want to disrupt this deal."
Upon hearing this, Li Bushang immediately said firmly: "No!"
Nan Yan was stunned: "Why?"
"Do you think this is so easy? Prince Ning's purchase of ironware is a capital crime. He and his opponent must have built layers of defenses. How could they be easily destroyed?"
"I know it's not easy, but I want to give it a try."
“…”
"Even if I fail, at least I can find a way to find out who sold the ironware to King Ning."
“…”
"They dared to sell ironware to a prince. They obviously knew what Prince Ning was going to do. I'm afraid their motives are not simple either."
“…”
"It can be said that the current situation of the imperial court is full of crises. If we can eliminate one hidden danger, it will count as one."
"You'll be in danger!"
Li Bushan was almost furious: "Do you think you can come back alive after doing this?"
It turned out that he was still worried about his own safety.
Nan Yan said: "I will try my best to protect myself."
"you--"
Li Bu Shang became increasingly anxious as he spoke. He clenched his fists and frowned, "This is their business. Why are you interfering and trying to sabotage it?"
“…”
"Are you still doing this for him?"
At this point, his eyes turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "He banished you to the cold palace and ignored you. Now, when you were kidnapped, he completely ignored you and even appointed another woman as his concubine."
“…”
"Are you still going to do this for him?!"
These words he said in a hurry were like knives stabbing into Nan Yan's heart.
Seeing the pain on Nan Yan's face, he stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Nan Yan, I——"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the severe pain in her chest.
Although he felt a little strange, as the commander of the emperor's trusted guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, his tone seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Zhu Feng.
Maybe he just felt sorry for himself.
She raised her head, forced a smile at him, and said, "I know you're not saying these words to hurt me, you're just trying to sober me up."
"Then you, are you willing to wake up?"
"It's not harmful. I'm quite sober now."
Nan Yan said seriously: "I do these things not for anyone, but because I think it must be done."
"you--"
"No harm, I want to do these things not as 'Zhu Feng's woman', but as an ordinary person. I think we should stop King Ning."
"Would ordinary people care about this kind of thing?"
"Just think of me as an ordinary person who likes to meddle in other people's business," Nan Yan said with a wry smile, "Everything in this world needs someone to do it."
“…”
"Being in this position and having this opportunity, I think it's my unshirkable responsibility."
Having said this, she looked up at Li Bushang, smiled bitterly and said, "I know that as the commander of the Jinyiwei, you should be able to understand my thoughts."
“…”
"You went there for two whole years and joined the Imperial Guard. You wouldn't have done it just for me, right?"
“…”
Li Bushang frowned: "I——"
