Chapter 1748 It’s a pity that you can’t avoid it
"If you make even the slightest mistake, fail to take good care of him, and let him get hurt, I will make sure all of you are beheaded!"
When everyone heard the imperial concubine say such harsh words, they were immediately scared out of their wits.
Everyone knelt at Nan Yan's feet, kowtowed to the Imperial Concubine and begged for mercy: "Imperial Concubine, please forgive me."
"I will never dare to be careless again."
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty, I will take good care of Master Gu."
Nan Yan looked at them with a sullen face.
At this moment, Gu Yiyou, who was lying on the bed, uttered a sound as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Water...water..."
When Nan Yan heard this, she quickly turned around.
He still didn't wake up, but his dry lips kept opening and closing, repeating the word.
It seems that he is really thirsty.
The people kneeling on the ground wanted to stand up and serve immediately, but they were worried about the Imperial Concubine and did not dare to act rashly. Nan Yan said, "Why don't you go and serve quickly?!"
"yes."
Several people stood up immediately.
They poured a glass of water, just a little bit, and dipped some with chopsticks on Gu Yiyou's lips to moisten them. He immediately pursed his lips and licked up the water.
Then, I gave him a few more points.
Seeing that his lips became a little moisturized, several people put away the cups.
Nan Yan glanced at Ran Xiaoyu, only to see Ran Xiaoyu nod slightly.
It seems that this is the safe approach.
After the few people finished serving, they walked back to stand in front of Nan Yan. Nan Yan said with a stern face, "Just like before, serve him carefully. If he is not doing well at all - remember what I just said."
"yes!"
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not breathe.
Nan Yan then stood up and walked out with Ran Xiaoyu.
The two of them walked outside. It was already completely dark. Only the lamp in Ran Xiaoyu's hand illuminated the space in front of them. The darkness around them was like the open mouth of a monster, ready to swallow them at any time.
There are too many dangers and crises in this place.
That mysterious man is a bandit from Shazhouwei.
The coming envoy of the Parthian Empire.
Now, there is also a Duke of Chengguo.
Nan Yan had never felt such great pressure.
She let out a deep breath, and Ran Xiaoyu immediately said softly, "Don't worry too much, Madam. You are pregnant. If you worry so much, it will not be good for the fetus."
Hearing her say this, Nan Yan forced herself to relax her brows.
Then he turned and looked at Ran Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, you just did a great job."
“…”
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I don't know how this incident today would have turned out."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "I have only seen this kind of situation before, so I know this taboo."
"No, it's not just about not being able to drink water due to excessive blood loss."
Nan Yan smiled at her and said, "After you discovered this, you didn't make a fuss right away. If it were you in the past, I'm afraid you would have already flew into a rage and grabbed that boy and beat him up."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide.
After thinking about it, it seems to be true.
Nan Yan said, "This time, you weren't so reckless. Instead, you calmly waited for me to release him. Then you secretly followed him and checked who was the mastermind behind him."
“…”
"This is something I didn't expect."
“…”
"Xiaoyu."
"Um."
"You've made rapid progress. I originally thought that your ability to control your emotions in front of Xue Ling today was already a great improvement. I didn't expect that you would have such thoughts now."
“…”
"You really impressed me."
Her words made Ran Xiaoyu blush a little, but after some self-reflection, she found that it was true.
I seem to be able to control my emotions better now, and I no longer just want to use my fists and fight to solve problems.
Although it may seem satisfying to hit someone with your fists, it is often only a momentary pleasure.
By taking a roundabout approach, we can find a more appropriate solution.
She was silent for a moment before she said, "It was the Empress's teaching."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Even if I teach you, you still have to be willing to put your heart into it. There are many people in this world who refuse to repent. If you are willing to change, you are already better than most people."
As she spoke, she patted Ran Xiaoyu's hand.
"This way, I will feel more at ease."
As he said this, he let out a long sigh.
However, when she let out a long breath, it didn't sound like she was letting out a sigh, but rather like she was sighing. Ran Xiaoyu then looked at the faint lines of wrinkles between her eyebrows in the dim light.
He whispered, "Is your Majesty still worried?"
After all, there is still a big stone pressing on my heart.
Nan Yan could only say, "There are so many things going on, and I am really worried."
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Besides Master Gu's matter, Your Majesty is also worried about the Emperor's plan to attack Thermidor Bay, right?"
"Um."
"I heard that the path suggested by Master Gu and Master Tong is not feasible, so the path suggested by Li Lai is..."
Nan Yan said, "It's feasible."
Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide: "Is it really possible?"
"Well, this time, the Emperor ordered Ying Shao to personally scout that route with the Imperial Guards. If they hadn't been affected by the fighting on the other route, they would have probably taken action."
"So next time we'll use that road as the direction of attack?"
"Yes."
"You have to keep an eye on Li Lai."
Nan Yan said, "That's right. Also, considering Xue Ling's incident, the Emperor has already sent someone to guard the gate to the west wing today. From now on, they will have to report to someone whenever they enter or leave."
"That's good."
The two of them talked quietly and slowly walked back to their room.

In the same dim light, a door on the other side of the wing opened, and a person walked out slowly in the night. With only a little cold moonlight above his head, he walked steadily.
This is exactly the blind girl’s original intention.
She tapped the ground lightly with the bamboo stick in her hand, walked to a place close to the gate, moved lightly, and sure enough, she heard the sound of someone talking outside the gate.
Someone is guarding it.
She walked over carefully and entered the door of the west wing.
Originally, there were people guarding this place, but because there were extra guards outside today, the guards here were withdrawn.
Chu Xin walked straight to the door.
Reached out and knocked on the door.
"Open the door."
The whole house was silent.
But Chu Xin didn't back down at all. Instead, he knocked on the door again and said, "Aren't you going to open the door yet?"
“…”
"You think you can avoid me by not opening the door?"
“…”
"Unfortunately, you can't avoid it. Just like you've been avoiding me for more than ten years, yet we can still meet in this place. Do you think there's any need to hide anymore?"
This time, there was a little sound in the room.
It was the sound of a door opening.
