Chapter 1996: There needs to be an "end" between them
When the emperor's group gradually disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiao Shunzi and his men immediately began to set up camp.
I was worried that it would disturb Nan Yan, but she didn't mind at all.
And got off the carriage.
Looking at the soldiers around who were setting up camp very well-trained, several bonfires were immediately lit, and some people had already started making fire to cook.
Although it was not the first time she saw this scene, she still watched it with great interest.
She strolled over with her hands behind her back, watching those people working. Everyone stopped and saluted her. She then realized that she had disturbed others, so she could only step aside and watch this lively scene. She stood there quietly, as if she was out of the world.
He sighed softly: "Why does it have nothing to do with me?"
"What is the Queen saying?"
Suddenly, she heard Ran Xiaoyu's voice beside her. She turned around and saw that she had just felt a chill in the wind. Ran Xiaoyu went to the carriage over there to get a piece of clothing and was carefully putting it on her shoulders.
Suddenly I felt warm.
Nan Yan smiled with satisfaction and patted her hand. Ran Xiaoyu said, "What are you expressing again, Madam?"
"Nothing."
Nan Yan pouted, sounding aggrieved, "I just feel like with this pregnancy, a lot of things have nothing to do with me anymore. I can only watch them do their work. Even when the Emperor went to Yumen Pass to investigate, I couldn't follow him. I could only watch him go."
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly said, "It was Master Xue who followed."
“…”
Sensing that there was something behind her words, Nan Yan glanced at her.
Ran Xiaoyu whispered, "Why did Her Majesty give the handkerchief to the Emperor and ask him to return it to Xue Yun?"
Nan Yan asked, "Do you think I should go and pay it back?"
"Isn't it?"
“…”
"After all, it was Her Majesty who took that thing, so it's only natural for Her Majesty to go. The Emperor had nothing to do with this—and shouldn't have had anything to do with it."
Nan Yan smiled and slowly turned her head to look at Yumen Pass in the distance.
The sky darkened, and the outline of the tall earthen city had now merged into the night, almost indistinguishable. Nan Yan's gaze became extremely profound, and she said, "Returning the things marks the end of a matter."
"This, the servant knows."
"Then do you think there is any relationship or story between me and Xue Yun?"
Ran Xiaoyu immediately shook her head: "What kind of story can the Queen have with her?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's right."
“…”
"Since there won't be any story between her and me, this 'ending' has no meaning to me."
“…”
After she said this, she seemed to pause, but did not continue.
But Ran Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, and she immediately understood what she meant by the unfinished sentence.
This "end" is meaningless to Nan Yan and Xue Yun.
Because of the two of them, nothing needs to end.
But between the Emperor and Xue Yun——
Ran Xiaoyu's breathing became more tense, and her voice became lower. She said softly, "So, the Empress asked the Emperor to return the handkerchief to Xue Yun because she hoped that this 'end' would be between them."
Nan Yan smiled but said nothing.
Ran Xiaoyu's expression became more serious.
She whispered, "Does Your Majesty also feel that something between them needs to be 'ended'?"
