Chapter 1651: Witnessing the Dangers of Human Nature
Nan Yan said, "Let's go inside first. Even if you really want to go to Thermidor, you should at least listen to what the people who have walked out of Thermidor say and understand the situation inside, right?"
After hearing her say this, Chu Xin finally gave up.
Xue Ling helped her into the room.
This room is not very big, as it is only used by the Duwei Mansion to temporarily entertain guests. Naturally, there will not be any important guests in this place, so it is very simple.
There was only a bed, a table and a few stools.
Xue Ling helped her sit on the bed, and Nan Yan looked around, then poured herself a glass of water and handed it to Chu Xin.
This time, Xue Ling was scared.
The extremely noble imperial concubine actually poured water for others?!
But Nan Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She just pursed her lips lightly, then sat on a stool beside her and said to Xue Ling, "You sit down too."
Xue Ling walked over cautiously. Although he didn't dare, the imperial concubine had already spoken, so he could only bow to Nan Yan as an apology, and then sat diagonally on a corner of the stool.
Nan Yan looked at her again.
At this time, Chu Xin couldn't wait to say, "You said you were captured by those sand bandits and taken to Hot Moon Bay. Then tell me, is there a man named Jiang Qu in there?"
"Jiang Qu?"
When Xue Ling heard the name, he frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."
"Really?"
"At least, I haven't heard of it."
“…”
Seeing Chu Xin fall silent, Nan Yan took the opportunity to say, "You've been looking for him for more than ten years, and every time he leaves as soon as you arrive. Maybe this time, he escaped again."
"No, it won't."
Chu Xin said firmly: "He must still be there."
“…”
"Didn't you say she was kidnapped by those bandits? How could she know the names of all the bandits there?"
Nan Yan and Xue Ling looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, although this original intention was blind, his ears were still sharp and his heart was not blind.
Xue Ling thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, I was abducted and taken in. I don't know all the bandits there, but I do know one thing: it's very dangerous."
Seeing Chu Xin was about to speak, she immediately interrupted her.
Then he said, "I'm not talking about the danger from the sand bandits, but the extremely dangerous terrain inside."
“…”
"The roads inside are rugged and winding, like a huge maze. Some passages can only accommodate one person, and in some places there are deep chasms. If you fall down, you will fall into the abyss."
Nan Yan looked at her and saw that she was seriously trying to scare Chu Xin.
"Ordinary people can't get out of it unscathed, let alone your eyesight problems. How can you go in rashly?"
At this time, Chu Xin sneered.
She said, "I am blind, so what?"
“…”
"All these years, every place I've been to has been a dangerous place, and yet I've always come back alive."
“…”
"Some of you have both eyes, but I don't think you can see everything clearly."
Xue Ling had originally meant to advise her well, but after she interrupted him like that, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Nan Yan frowned slightly and said, "Chu Xin, don't say that."
“…”
"Miss Xue is advising you this way for your own good."
“…”
"Besides, even if we don't mention how dangerous the terrain is, don't you consider those bandits? They're killing people without a care in the world. How many innocent people around here have fallen victim to their murderous hands? They're a bunch of ruthless killers. If you go in like this, how can they let you go?"
This time, it was Xue Ling.
She hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Well, not all the bandits are murderous demons."
Nan Yan looked at her again.
Chu Xin sneered.
She said coldly, "What are the sand bandits?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan and Xue Ling both looked up at her, only to see Chu Xin coldly say, "The most vicious and dangerous people in this world are not those bandits who kill without blinking an eye, but the people who are closest to you."
“…”
"Those who keep saying they love you and will be with you forever."
“…”
"People like this are the most dangerous."
“…”
"Because you never know when they will bared their sharp claws and fangs and tear you to pieces. When they betray you, they won't even look back."
“…”
"If you encounter sand bandits, you can still resist."
“…”
"But what can you do when you meet someone like this?"
Xue Ling was a little confused when he heard this, but seeing that her eyes were covered and her face was filled with grief and gritted teeth, he seemed to understand something.
Nan Yan of course knew better that she was talking about herself.
She was betrayed and hurt by her partner. This painful experience made her unable to trust others easily anymore.
But Xue Ling gradually frowned.
After all, not everyone will have such an experience, and not everyone can accept such a cruel fact.
“Not everyone is like that,” she said.
“…”
"In this world, there is always someone who is worthy of your sincere treatment."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her again.
Although Xue Ling and she had talked many times since they met, because of her own vigilance and caution, she never understood this girl who was rescued from the bandit's lair.
These few words made her feel something.
When Chu Xin heard her words, he sneered.
After laughing, he said with a hint of ridicule: "It seems that you have not yet witnessed the dangers of human nature."
“…”
"When you have seen it, come and tell me this again."
Xue Ling frowned.
She thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Nan Yan, "Madam, I remembered that I have something to do. I'll go do it first."
Nan Yan knew that she didn’t want to continue talking to Chu Xin.
Then he nodded: "Go ahead."
Xue Ling turned and left.
Nan Yan stayed here and spent some time to comfort Chu Xin. She finally convinced her and then left.
After walking out of this room, you will be ready to leave the east wing.
However, when she reached the door, she hesitated inexplicably and turned to look at the west wing.
Xue Ling and Li Lai both lived in the west wing. There was only a door between the two sides, so they could see what was happening over there at a glance.
One could even see a figure swaying in Li Lai's room.
Nan Yan thought about it, turned around and walked towards the west wing.
As soon as he walked over, he saw a man walking out of Li Lai's room. It was none other than the doctor from the Duwei Mansion.
When he saw Nan Yan, he kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan asked, "Are you here to see Li for treatment?"
"yes."
"How is he?"
