Chapter 972: Just think of me as someone who wants to escape
"You went there for two whole years and joined the Imperial Guard. You wouldn't have done it just for me, right?"
“…”
Li Bushang frowned: "I——"
He just felt a rush of panic in his chest, as if some emotion was about to explode, but looking at Nan Yan's pure eyes, he hesitated again.
There were some things that if she knew them now, it might just scare her.
She is right.
He has been waiting for two whole years and doesn't mind waiting any longer.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah."
A relieved smile appeared on Nan Yan's face.
Li Bushang immediately said, "If you want to go, then I will go with you. I will be by your side to protect you."
"No," Nan Yan said immediately, "It's too dangerous."
"Danger?"
Li Bushang repeated these two words, and the expression on his face seemed to say - you also know "danger"?
“…”
Nan Yan seemed to feel that there was something wrong with what she said. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I mean, you stayed in the Jian Mansion for a while. Mr. Jian knows you. If you follow me around, he will definitely find out."
Li Bushang said: "You forgot, I am already the commander of the Jinyiwei."
"Well."
"If I stay with you, there will be a way to avoid being discovered by them."
"this--"
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.
She remembered that when she was kidnapped by Arslan and his men, Ran Xiaoyu was also with her, but she suffered a lot along the way.
And Li is not hurt...
Seeing her hesitant expression, Li Bu Shang seemed to know what she was hesitating about and immediately said, "I'm just telling you this, to let you know. I'm going anyway, and you can't stop me."
“…”
"I told you I wouldn't let anyone hurt you."
“…”
"This time it will be full of dangers. I can't just let you go with Jian Ruocheng!"
When he said this, his tone was firm and unyielding.
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him and suddenly remembered the time when he was still a child.
At that time, I asked him to call me sister, but he always just called her "Nan Yan".
It feels like a smaller version of Zhu Feng.
Although he is young, he is stubborn. Now that he has grown up, he has his own ideas. It is actually impossible for Nan Yan to stop him.
So, I could only sigh: "Okay, then you must be careful, don't-"
Before she finished her words, Jian Ruocheng's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was startled and subconsciously pulled Li Bu Shang behind her. She responded, "What's the matter?"
After she finished speaking, she realized how funny her action was.
Jian Ruocheng wasn't standing in front of her to hit anyone, so what was the point of her pulling Li Bushang behind him?
However, Li Bushang's tall body stood behind her and he felt her hand grabbing his wrist.
He looked down at her, a smile in his eyes.
Jian Ruocheng outside said, "What's wrong with you? I seemed to hear you talking to someone."
"I don't."
"Um?"
"I was just thinking about things."
Nan Yan was flustered and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jian Ruocheng paused for a moment before saying, "Oh, didn't you just say you got burned? I thought about it and decided to go outside and find some burn medicine and bring it to you."
"Well."
"I'll take you in."
"Wait a moment." Seeing him raise his hand to push the door, Nan Yan was so scared that she turned around to look at Li Bushang, then looked around.
This temple was decorated according to Jian Ruocheng's temperament. It was very simple and elegant, but there was a problem: it couldn't hide anything, let alone such a big person.
Nan Yan looked around but couldn't see any place where anyone could hide.
Finally, she saw her bed.
I could only silently point at the bed and mouth: "Go up there and cover yourself with the quilt!"
Li Bushang glanced at her with a flash in his eyes, and immediately jumped onto the bed. Although he was already very tall, he was agile, like a black panther, without making any sound.
After lying down on the bed, he immediately lifted the quilt to cover himself.
Nan Yan took the opportunity to tidy up the room. It looked like only the bed was messy, so she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked over to open the door.
Jian Ruocheng stood at the door and looked at her.
"you--"
Jian Ruocheng looked at her flustered appearance, still panting slightly: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Nan Yan shook her head.
Her eyes were still a little red from tears.
Jian Ruocheng only glanced at her and immediately lowered his head, as if he wanted to avoid some of her emotions. Sure enough, when he saw her hand, there was an obvious spot on her white finger that was stained with wax and burned red.
So he said, "Does it hurt? Do you want a doctor to come and take a look at you?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Nan Yan was a little worried that he would find out that Li was not injured, so she just said, "Give me the medicine, I'll do it myself."
"Oh well."
Jian Ruocheng could sense the resistance in her body, so he handed the medicine box to her and said, "If there is anything inconvenient, please call me anytime."
"Um."
Nan Yan saw him turn around and leave, thought for a moment, and then said, "Second Master Jian."
"Um?"
Jian Ruocheng immediately turned to look at her.
Nan Yan said, "You said before that you would take me to the sea to discuss things. I am willing to go with you."
"Really?"
"Um."
"That's great."
A hint of a smile crossed Jian Ruocheng's face, but after thinking for a moment, he looked at Nan Yan and said, "Why are you suddenly willing to go again?"
“…”
Nan Yan's heart sank slightly.
She was a little panicked, but this question did hurt her.
Holding the medicine box in her hand, she thought for a moment and said softly, "Won't he be crowned Consort Ning in two days?"
“…”
"Second Master Jian, just think that I'm not that strong and want to escape."
"Nan Yan..."
Jian Ruocheng looked at her, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to sleep."
"Uh, yes, my lady."
Jian Ruocheng seemed to notice only then that he had just called her by her name. Fortunately, Nan Yan didn't care and hurriedly took a step back and closed the door with both hands.
It was quiet outside for a while, and then I heard footsteps fading away.
Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly turned around and walked to the bed. Seeing that the quilt was still a little bulging, she thought that it was indeed a bit unfair for Li Bushan, such a big guy, to curl up in here. She was afraid that he would be suffocated.
He reached out to lift the quilt: "Are you hurt?"
However, just as she reached out her hand, a hand stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed her hand.
“……!”
