Chapter 1565 There is only one result
Xinping was completely stunned.
She cared about her brother, so how could he end up like this? Her mouth pursed and she burst into tears.
Zhu Chengxuan and Gu Qiqing had no time to laugh and hurried over.
"Oh, Xinping, brother is wrong."
"Princess, don't cry."
The two young men hurried over, picked her up and coaxed her.
Nan Yan, who was sitting in the pavilion, laughed so hard at this scene that tears were about to come out.
She said, "Xinping is really like a meatball. How can he be so stupid?"
Normally, when she said this, Nianqiu and Aunt Tongyun behind her would definitely agree with her with a smile, but today, there was no movement. She looked back and saw that Nianqiu had already run down to help Xinping, while Aunt Tongyun had a solemn expression on her face and did not look happy at all.
Nan Yan asked, "What happened to Auntie?"
“…”
"It's a holiday today, why are you so serious?"
“…”
Aunt Tongyun was silent for a long time before she slowly stepped forward and added some hot water to Nanyan's teacup. Then she said, "Your Majesty, I have remembered a story that I want to tell you."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned.
At this time, when everyone was joking, she looked serious and wanted to tell herself a story.
Nan Yan had a vague feeling that it might be related to her agreement with Si Muzhen to leave and go out to play alone.
So she smiled faintly: "Aunt, please say what you want to say."
Aunt Tongyun thought for a moment and said, "Once upon a time, there was a man who had a very strong horse at home. Normally, it could carry three bundles of grass at a time without any effort. One day, he suddenly had the idea of testing the strength of his horse."
"He put three bundles of grass on the horse's back, and it was naturally stable. Then he added another bundle, and the horse was still very stable."
"He added another bundle. This time, the horse was a little tired, but he could still go."
"He added another bundle, and the horse was having a hard time."
"When he added another bundle, the horse finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed under the weight. Moreover, his hoof was injured and he could no longer move."
"The man was very angry and kept scolding his horse for being useless."
Nan Yan listened quietly. After hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Aunt Tongyun, and said calmly, "What do you want to say, Aunt?"
Aunt Tongyun asked, "What did your Majesty hear from this story?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said with a half-smile, "You simply want to tell me that either this horse is useless and can't stand the test, or this person is wrong and shouldn't test this horse, right?"
“…”
Aunt Tongyun was quiet for a while and shook her head.
Nan Yan was stunned.
"So, what are you going to say?"
Aunt Tongyun said word by word: "In fact, from the beginning of this test, there is only one result - the horse will definitely be crushed."
“…”
"Because no matter how much the horse can bear, the people who test it will keep adding more and more to its back to see where its limits are."
“…”
"One bundle has been added, and there is still one bundle left."
“…”
"But what happens in the end? What does this person gain?"
“…”
"My Lady, what you have is what you have, but once you lose it, you can never get it back."
After saying that, she sighed and stepped aside.
Nan Yan still sat there, motionless.
There was no expression on her face. She just looked at the lively ice surface with her eyes, which were much deeper than before and flickering, but no one could tell what she was thinking.
Only the slightly cold fingertips exposed from her sleeves showed a slight trembling.
