Chapter 920 That Kind of Dream
"Your Highness."
Aunt Tongyun's voice came from outside the door. Nan Yan sat at the table, folded the paper in her hand and put it away, then walked over and opened the door.
Aunt Tongyun stood outside the door and said, "My Lady, are you really not asleep yet?"
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Aunt, why are you here again? Didn't you go downstairs to rest?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "Just now, a patrolman passed by the door and said that he saw the light was still on in the Madam's room. He was worried, so he asked this servant to come and check."
"Oh, they are very attentive."
"This capital relocation is a major event, so they must be cautious."
Aunt Tongyun said this and glanced into the room. The room was empty with only a lamp on the table. It was obvious that Nan Yan had just been sitting at the table, but there was not even a cup of tea on the table.
Aunt Tongyun said softly: "Hasn't the Queen already gone to bed? Why is she—"
"Oh, I couldn't sleep, so I got up and sat down."
"Your Majesty, we have to leave early tomorrow morning. You'd better not stay up too late, or you won't be in good spirits. You still have to offer sacrifices at the Grand Altar tomorrow. Besides, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess' birthday."
"Yeah, I understand."
Nan Yan nodded calmly and said, "I'll go to sleep soon. Aunt, you should go down and rest too."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Only then did Aunt Tongyun turn around and leave.
Watching her back slowly disappear into the night, Nan Yan was silent for a while before slowly closing the door.
The heat in the room quickly gathered again, dispelling the cold wind and chill that had rushed in when the door had just been opened.
But Nan Yan's hands were as cold as ice.
After she closed the door, she stood with her back against the door for a long time before she caught her breath and slowly walked to the table.
He took out the folded paper from his sleeve.
In fact, there are only a few words on it.
However, these few words are like thunder in winter. It is obviously impossible for them to appear, but once they appear, they will change the color of the sky and earth and make the sun and moon dim.
She lowered her head again and looked at the words. She felt as if the words had temperature, a scorching temperature that almost burned her eyes.
After a long silence, Nan Yan slowly brought the paper to the candlestick.
The flames flickered and instantly ignited the paper.
Soon, the piece of paper turned into a ball of fire in his hand, and the words on it gradually disappeared one by one in the flames.
When it burned to the end, Nan Yan let go, and the flame turned into ashes, which fell to the ground. She even stepped on it, turning the ashes into nothingness. Then she turned around, blew out the candle on the table, and slowly walked to the bed in the darkness and lay down.
She did all this calmly and silently.
Even just now in front of Aunt Tongyun, she didn't show any abnormality and was as calm as if nothing had happened.
But only she knows.
My heart is beating like thunder.
The blood in her body was rushing rapidly, and what echoed in her ears was no longer the whistling wind outside, but the sound of rushing blood. In such darkness, it was like the sound of thousands of troops.
How could that be?
How is that possible?
She clenched her cold hands slightly, but found that her palms were covered with cold sweat.
Did I just have a dream? If I continue to lie down now and wait until I get up in the morning, will I wake up from the dream?
Thinking of this, she slowly closed her eyes.
She originally thought that she might not be able to sleep that night, but unexpectedly, with the sound like a tide ringing in her ears, she slowly lost consciousness.
In the chaos, she felt someone walking towards her.
Although it was dark, the man's eyes were bright and stared at her closely. That look seemed to suffocate her, but it also revealed an indescribable tenderness.
But……
Even in her half-asleep state, Nan Yan recalled what Aunt Tongyun had said before.
Moving the capital this time was a big deal, so Prince Ning's men, along with the guards brought by Zhu Feng, were all extra cautious. Even when they turned on the lights in their rooms in the middle of the night, they would cautiously ask Aunt Tongyun to check. How could they possibly let anyone enter their rooms?
It turns out that I was dreaming.
Thinking of this, the dream seemed even deeper.
Nan Yan lay on the bed, feeling that those eyes were still staring at her, refusing to relax even a little bit. But since she knew it was a dream, she was no longer nervous and just faced them calmly.
After an unknown amount of time, the person beside the bed slowly leaned over.
His breath fanned her face.
A little hot, even scalding.
His breathing was also rapid, as if he was trying hard to suppress something. Even in his dream, Nan Yan could feel his almost anxious and uncontrollable emotions.
After the hot breath, there was a strange touch.
It fell on my lips.
It was a little soft, and he touched her lips lightly. Then, as if it wasn't enough, he went deeper.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Even in her dream, she knew it was wrong.
Who is it?
Who is kissing me?
"Who is it?"
When she was kissing that man, she tried her best to avoid him, but in her dream, her whole body felt heavy and she couldn't even move a finger. She could only barely utter a few weak words while trying to escape.
"Who are you?"
After asking this question, she suddenly opened her eyes.
The room is brightly lit.
“……!”
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking at the curtain above her head, and was unable to react for a long time.
I am——
Last night, the figure standing by the bed, and that person's focused gaze.
Even to myself...
Is this a dream?
She subconsciously raised her hand and gently touched her lips.
Her lips trembled slightly. She didn't know if it was because she had been touched last night or if it was just an illusion of sensitivity, but she always felt something was wrong.
However, I was indeed the only one in the room, and it was almost dawn.
Daylight streamed in through the window, illuminating the room.
Is it really just a dream?
What a bizarre dream.
Nan Yan sat up from the bed in a daze, and at this time, Aunt Tongyun and others also came. Because they were leaving for Peking early this morning, they came to help her get up and wash.
After washing up quickly, Nan Yan sat in front of the dressing table and Nian Qiu combed her hair.
Aunt Tongyun said, "Your Majesty went to bed so late last night, I'm afraid you didn't sleep well."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything.
It’s not that I didn’t sleep well.
Not only did I sleep well, I also had a strange dream.
But she was too embarrassed to tell them about that kind of dream.
At this time, she thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
