Chapter 973: The beast in his heart
However, just as she reached out her hand, a hand stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed her hand.
“……!”
Nan Yan was startled: "Ah!"
Suddenly, there was a sound and his eyes blurred. Li Bushang lifted the quilt with one arm and sat up from the bed.
For some reason, at that moment, Nan Yan seemed to have really seen a black panther crawling out of its cave, giving people a very oppressive feeling.
Her heart skipped a beat.
He immediately said, "It's not hurt, why are you scaring me?"
“…”
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just stared at her.
The hand holding her wrist never let go.
Although he was covered in the quilt just now, he could hear clearly what was said outside.
He heard Nan Yan talking to Jian Ruocheng in such a gentle tone, and Jian Ruocheng also spoke every word with such reluctance. If she hadn't said she was going to sleep, he probably wouldn't have been willing to leave.
He also called her "Nan Yan".
besides--
What does it mean, "When I am not that strong and want to escape."
So, this is what she really meant?
She was still sad for Zhu Feng. She knew that he had beauties in his harem, so many women, but she still looked up to him foolishly. From the very beginning, he could see that Nan Yan's eyes were only on him.
Even now, he demoted her to the cold palace and ignored her.
Let her be kidnapped and completely ignore it.
While she was under house arrest, he conferred titles on other women.
But she was still sad for him!
The more he thought about it, the heavier the huge stone in his heart felt. Li Bushang was panting, and the hot breath blew directly onto Nan Yan's face.
This feeling made Nan Yan feel a little uneasy.
Especially his hand, which was still holding her wrist, his palm was burning hot, like a branding iron pressing against her skin.
Nan Yan shuddered slightly from the burn and whispered, "It's not hurt, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
“…”
"No harm?"
Her call finally brought Li Bushan back to his senses.
He looked at her again, then lowered his head, looked at the hand he was holding tightly, and said, "You are really burned."
Nan Yan lowered her head and saw the red spot on her finger.
It turns out that he was worried about this.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It was just touched by the candle just now, it doesn't hurt."
“…”
Li Bushan didn't say anything. He got down from the bed, dragged her to the table and asked her to sit down. Then he took the medicine box from her hand and opened it.
There is crystal clear ointment inside, and it smells very pleasant.
He whispered, "If I had it with me, I would never use the medicine he gave you."
“…”
"But right now, your injury is important."
After saying that, he picked up a small piece of ointment and carefully applied it to Nan Yan's hand. Then he looked up at her and said softly, "Does it still hurt?"
In fact, my fingers were indeed a little burned and felt hot.
However, as soon as the ointment was applied, a cool feeling immediately occurred.
Nan Yan shook her head: "It's okay."
"That's good."
Li Bushang said, "Don't wash it yet. I'll come tomorrow and change the medicine for you."
Nan Yan was startled: "You still want to come?"
Upon hearing this, Li Bushan's face darkened again: "You don't want to see me?"
"Of course not."
Nan Yan waved her hand and said hurriedly, "It's just that it's too dangerous for you to come and go in Prince Ning's Mansion like this. What if you get discovered?"
Li Bushang said contemptuously: "They can't catch me yet."
Then he looked at her again and said, "I haven't been playing around in these past two years."
“…”
"I work very hard. I am the most powerful person among the Jinyiwei!"
For some reason, although what he said was clearly a very important matter, Nan Yan felt like he was a child showing off and wanting to be praised.
So, she smiled and said, "I know that not getting hurt must be the best."
“…”
Li Bushang looked at her without saying anything.
She really didn't understand.
She didn't understand how brutal the training she had been through in the past two years. Every day and every night, she was like a wild beast living in the jungle, surrounded by dangers. She either ate others or was eaten by others.
The original animal nature in his heart was completely aroused.
He is indeed the most outstanding among the Jinyiwei.
But that was paid for with the blood and lives of those who lived with him every day and even once called him brothers.
And he used these just to exchange for her.
Let her look at herself intently and smile at herself.
Feeling his gaze was somewhat fiery, Nan Yan whispered, "What's wrong?"
“…No, nothing’s wrong.”
Li Bushang shook his head, afraid of scaring her.
In front of her, he had never dared to be too real before, and now he was even more afraid to be real.
So he said, "It's settled. I'll come back to see you at this time tomorrow. I want to ensure your safety. There are some people in Prince Ning's mansion who hate you very much and they want to kill you."
Nan Yan smiled.
I obstructed Prince Ning's good deeds at the Grand Altar, and Zhu Xuan was magnanimous enough not to kill me to vent his anger.
Obviously, it is kept for his own use.
But his subordinates, who followed him to do this beheading, were all risking their lives and fortunes. Now that he had gotten himself into trouble, of course they wanted to eat him.
So he said, "Okay. But you must be careful not to be discovered by others."
"I know."
Li Bushan stood up and turned to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he turned back to look at her and said, "You shouldn't say so much to that Jian Ruocheng."
"ah?"
"He treats you like that—in short, ignore him!"
Nan Yan recalled that when Li Bushan first met them, he seemed to have had an unpleasant experience with Jian Ruocheng. Although he knew that Jian Ruocheng was doing it for his own good at the time, it seemed that this incident still left a bad impression on him.
Therefore, he always had hostility towards Jian Ruocheng.
Nan Yan said: "Don't misunderstand him. Although he works under Prince Ning, he is still very good to me."
Li Bushan's face darkened: "I don't care!"
“…”
"You should have less contact with him!"
Why are you suddenly so unreasonable?
Nan Yan thought about it and could only coax him like a child: "Okay, I will have less contact with him, okay."
"Um."
After getting her promise, Li Bushan was satisfied. He turned and walked to the window, listened to the noise outside, and knowing that there was no one outside, he opened the window and jumped out.
Nan Yan walked over and saw that his figure was no longer visible in the night.
So fast!
She smiled and closed the window.
However, as soon as the window was closed, the smile on his face disappeared.
Li Bushang's appearance did make her forget her troubles temporarily, but when she was alone, the sadness was like a spring with no one suppressing it, and it suddenly exploded.
She walked back to the bed, sat down, and said softly, "Have you really, really forgotten me?"
