Chapter 212 That is the crime of deceiving the emperor
Nan Yan was waiting anxiously in the big tent. The scorching sun above her head made her feel a little dizzy.
After an unknown amount of time, the curtain was finally lifted.
Jian Ruocheng walked out with Li Bushang and Ye Zheng. Nan Yan walked forward anxiously: "What happened? Did the emperor believe him?"
Jian Ruocheng remained silent. Ye Zheng said, "The Emperor believed Li Bushang's words. He also said that the child had saved the Emperor's life and was now helpless, so he wanted to keep him by his side."
"Really? That's great!"
"But he refused."
"What?!"
Nan Yan looked at Li Bu Shang in surprise: "Why don't you agree? You are already helpless. It would be great if you could stay with the emperor."
Ye Zheng said, "He said he wants to follow you."
"ah?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at Li Bu Shang again: "Why?"
“…”
"Why are you following me? I am a slave who lives on the edge of death."
“…”
"It's so nice to follow the emperor."
Li Bushang didn't say anything, just stood there biting his lower lip stubbornly.
Nan Yan asked, "Then, how did the emperor deal with him?"
Jian Ruocheng on the side smiled bitterly: "The emperor asked him to follow me."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned again, but after thinking for a moment, she immediately said, "It's good to follow Master Jian. Master Jian is a good scholar and a good person. You will have a bright future if you follow Master Jian."
Li Bushang still didn't say anything, just buried his head.
Ye Zheng sighed and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Master Jian, take care of him for the next few days—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Li Bushan step to Nan Yan's side and grab her sleeve.
"Hey, you kid!"
Seeing Li Bushan like this, Jian Ruocheng said, "Forget it. The emperor asked him to follow me after returning to Nanjing. Since he is still in the army, let him follow the female official for now."
Seeing him like this, Ye Zheng had no choice but to give up.
Nan Yan could only take Li Bushan, who was following her, back with her. As soon as she turned around, Jian Ruocheng called her again: "Lady Officer."
Nan Yan turned around: "What?"
"Hmm..." Jian Ruocheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Just now, the emperor asked me what I bought with my money on the day I met Li Bushang. I—"
Nan Yan looked at him.
He said: "I told him and bought the bracelet."
Having said that, he stopped and looked at Nan Yan with a complicated expression.
Nan Yan looked at him for a long moment and said, "Is there any problem?"
“…”
"Isn't this the truth?"
"Well--"
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You scared me. I thought you were telling a lie and wanted me to cover it up. That's a crime of deceiving the emperor, punishable by death."
“…”
"Oh, I forgot to pay you back. I'll pay you back when I get my money back."
Jian Ruocheng looked at her for a while, and finally sighed: "Nothing."
Nan Yan took Li Bushan away.
Jian Ruocheng looked at her receding back, and after a long while, he sighed again.

Nan Yan brought Li Bu Shang back to his tent. Not knowing what to do, he asked, "Are you still hungry? Do you want some water? Or do you want to sleep for a while?"
Li Bushang looked up at her and suddenly said, "What's your name?"
"Me?" Nan Yan suddenly realized that she had not yet told him who she was, so she smiled and said, "My name is Si Nan Yan, you can call me sister from now on——"
"Nan Yan."
"..., I'm older than you, you have to call me Sister Nanyan."
"Nan Yan."
