Chapter 3143: Do you really intend to submit to the imperial court?
Xu Miaoming lowered his head and said, "I'm overstepping my bounds."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I also hope to live a peaceful and smooth life with the emperor."
Xu Miaoming said: "If that's the case, the Queen is at ease, and he is at ease too."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
The two chatted for a while, mostly talking about the Xu family's affairs. Although Xu Miaoming came to plead for the Xu family, he didn't care much about the people and affairs in the family. He only said a few more words when he mentioned Xu Xiaoxiao.
Nan Yan said, "She is a good girl. Although she is not destined to be with the Crown Prince, if there are any suitable young talents in the future, I will make the decision for her. You can all rest assured about this."
Xu Miaoming said, "Then I, on behalf of Empress Renxiao, would like to thank Her Majesty."
Although Nan Yan wanted to get close to her, the two of them were not familiar with each other after all. After sitting for a while and saying everything they could and couldn't say, Xu Miaoming stood up and said, "Your Majesty has been very busy these days. I will not bother you any more. I will take my leave."
Nan Yan nodded and watched her turn and leave.
At this time, it was almost evening.
It wasn't too hot outside, and there were gusts of cool breeze blowing in from time to time, making people feel refreshed. Zhu Feng had been out for so long, and no one knew what he had said to Jian Ruocheng. Nan Yan felt bored, so she simply got up and went out for a walk.
Not long after walking out of the courtyard, I saw a familiar figure.
It’s Lu Linchuan.
He and a few of his men also moved into Xu Miaoming's house.
Although when Zhu Chengjin took her on board the big ship that would determine his fate, and when Nan Yan saw Lu Linchuan standing with Zhu Feng on the small boat at the stern, she more or less understood his role in it, but until now, Nan Yan still had some doubts in her heart.
What role did Lu Linchuan play in this matter?
The imperial court sent troops to capture Tiangang Lianhuanwu, and he is Luo Xingwen's adopted son. So, he should be hostile to the imperial court.
But, he always stood by Zhu Feng.
Judging from the fact that he can now enter and leave Xu Miaoming's house freely, he is not being coerced, but is completely trustworthy.
Could it be that, as Li Chen and the others said, he was a rebel of Xingluo Lake?
He betrayed his adoptive father?
If this is really the case, then he is——
Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
On the other side, Lu Linchuan also noticed the gaze full of doubt and inquiry falling on him. He turned around and saw that it was Nan Yan. He thought about it, asked the big men under his command to go down first, and walked over himself.
As soon as she saw him approaching, Nan Yan was fine. Ruoshui, who was following behind Nan Yan, immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.
Ruoshui didn't recognize him, she only vaguely knew that he was the one who helped the court quell the rebellion, but when a man approached the imperial concubine like this, as the imperial concubine's maid, she naturally had to stop him.
Lu Linchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the thin and petite girl.
Nan Yan said, "Ruoshui, there's no need to do this. I have something to say to him."
Ruoshui responded softly after hearing this and retreated behind Nanyan. Nanyan looked up at the young man and said, "I didn't expect this."
Lu Linchuan was not stupid either, so of course he understood what she "didn't expect".
But she didn't respond to this, she just bowed to Nan Yan and said, "Your Highness."
Nan Yan showed a look of surprise and said with a smile, "This time, I never expected that you would actually bow to me."
What she said meant that when Lu Linchuan brought her into Xingluo Lake, the two of them were bickering all the way. You don't like me, and I don't accept you.
Lu Linchuan put his hand down again with a wooden face.
Still so fragile.
Nan Yan smiled, tilting her head to look him up and down. This man was handsome. If you met him on the street and told him he came from a bandit's den, no one would believe him. However, he was too honest and straightforward, and his thoughts were clearly visible on his face.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "If you follow the emperor and are willing to serve the court, this won't work."
When Lu Linchuan heard this, he frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
Nan Yan said, "Let's not talk about the officialdom, even in this world, people shouldn't show their thoughts too much on their faces. A real man should have some cunning. If you provoke someone, they will explode like a powder keg, and when they explode, there will be nothing left. Do you want your future life to be like this?"
Lu Linchuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
He clearly still didn't like talking to Nan Yan, but at the moment, because of her status as a noble concubine, he couldn't just turn around and leave. After a long moment of hesitation, he said indifferently, "Does the noble concubine like to reason with others so much?"
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Others would pay money to listen to my advice, so I'm telling you all this for nothing. Don't try to be ungrateful after getting a bargain."
“…”
Lu Linchuan didn't say anything, but the expression on his face eased a little.
Nan Yan then became more serious and said, "So, you really intend to submit to the imperial court?"
Lu Linchuan was silent for a long moment before he spoke, "Didn't the Imperial Concubine say before that people who exist in this world with great abilities but don't even know what they want to do or should do are no different from rotten stones and cold river water?"
“……?”
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
These were the words she had said to Lu Linchuan when he was rowing her into Xingluo Lake. At that time, she actually didn't have too many plans in her mind. Facing this extraordinary young man, she just tried her best to plant a seed of injustice in his heart.
After saying those words, she didn't even think about how much effect they would have.
But she didn't expect that Lu Linchuan actually remembered her words all the time.
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.
Seeing her smile, Lu Linchuan immediately realized that she had seen through his thoughts. A somewhat shameful expression appeared on his young face, and his face suddenly turned red. He turned around to leave, but felt that it would be even more embarrassing to leave like this, so he had to bite the bullet and stay, even the tips of his ears turned red.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's good too. At least what I said wasn't in vain."
Lu Linchuan said: "Humph!"
Nan Yan smiled.
But then, she put away her smile, her expression becoming serious as she said, "Since that's the case, I want to know what role you played in the capture of Tiangang Lianhuanwu this time."
“…”
Hearing this, Lu Linchuan's expression changed.
