Chapter 1661 Dispute
"I--"
Somehow, Xue Ling seemed a little flustered.
Since the first day they met, she was frightened and a little flustered by the emperor and the imperial concubine's scene. But in the following days, every time she saw Nan Yan, she was very calm and never showed such an expression again.
Seeing this at this moment, Nan Yan frowned slightly.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
“…”
"what are you doing here?"
“…”
However, Xue Ling quickly calmed down and said to Nan Yan respectfully, "I just went to visit Brother Li Lai."
"he?"
Nan Yan looked up and looked forward.
This place is the two side rooms specially built by the Duwei Mansion for guests to stay in. But now, there are indeed only a few of them as guests in the Duwei Mansion.
But, she came to visit Li Lai?
As far as I can remember, although both of them were rescued from the bandit's lair by Ye Zheng, they were probably just casual acquaintances, so they didn't have much interaction. I haven't seen them together in the past few days.
Unexpectedly, she would come to see Li Lai again.
Xue Ling added, "He has a sore throat and his legs are not very convenient, so I came here to help him get some things."
"What do you want?"
"Pen, ink, and some paper."
"Pen, ink, and paper?" Nan Yan frowned slightly. "What does he do with these things?"
"I don't know anything about this. I just saw him writing and drawing there."
"oh……"
Nan Yan thought to herself, she didn’t know, she would find out if she went over and took a look.
only--
She looked at Xue Ling again and said with a smile, "Just now, when I came over here, I heard some arguing over here and thought you two were quarreling."
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed and said, "Why would a commoner like me argue with Big Brother Li?"
“…”
"Besides, his throat is damaged by the smoke and he can't speak."
“…”
"I think the Imperial Concubine heard it wrong."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It seems that I heard it wrongly."
Xue Ling asked, "Is the Empress also here to visit Brother Li Lai?"
"Yes, Xiaoyu burned down the kitchen before. Fortunately, he risked his life to put out the fire. Otherwise, we don't know if the Duwei Mansion is still there now."
“…”
"Now that he's injured, I should go see him."
Xue Ling said, "He is in the room, please come in, Madam."
"What about you? Aren't you going with me?"
"I just came out from there, so I won't go in."
"Well, where are you going now?"
"I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest."
"Then you should go back. It's cold out there, don't catch a cold."
"Yes, thank you for your care, Madam."
After saying that, Xue Ling bowed respectfully to Nan Yan again, then walked carefully towards her room. Nan Yan watched her back disappear, then turned and looked at Li Lai's room.
He stopped for a moment and then walked over.
The door was tightly closed, and Nan Yan knocked on it gently.
Li Lai's hoarse voice rang out from the room: "Anything else?"
These words were obviously spoken to her by Xue Ling after he returned, and Nan Yan said, "It was me."
"ah?"
When Li Lai heard the imperial concubine's voice, he seemed startled. There was a somewhat hurried sound of opening and closing drawers in the room, as if he had taken something and put it away.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
Li Lai opened the door in a panic. When he saw Nan Yan, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your humble servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."
