Chapter 1012 Life is full of love
"Alas," Zhu Xuan sighed, opened the fan in his hand, fanned it gently, and chanted in a leisurely voice: "Life is full of love and passion, this matter has nothing to do with the wind and the moon."
“…”
"This Qin Ruolan, after all these years, is still infatuated with my brother."
“…”
"Back then, we thought she would enter the palace and become Emperor Gao's favorite concubine. However, we didn't expect that she would get involved in an affair with the Emperor's brother, which led to him being whipped by Emperor Gao and her own path to the palace was cut short. The Emperor's brother hated her, but because she was pregnant, he had no choice but to marry her."
“…”
"After so many years, they are still entangled."
Shi Yiru, who was standing by, was quite shrewd and said calmly, "Your Highness, are you talking about the two of them being entangled, or is she the only one entangled?"
“…”
Zhu Xuan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and laughed.
Shi Yiru also laughed, but his attention returned to the secret letter. He said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, given this situation, then-"
Zhu Xuan folded up his folding fan and said, "It seems that the emperor has indeed left the imperial palace. Otherwise, Qin Ruolan would not be in this state."
Shi Yiru said: "The emperor now -"
"Since he has left the imperial carriage, he must have already arrived in Changqing City."
"But the people we just sent to search all over the city have reported back that he still hasn't been found."
"Ran Xiaoyu and the others, are there no traces?"
“Not at all.”
“…”
Zhu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "That's impossible. Even if my brother is still on his way, Ran Xiaoyu has already appeared in Changqing City. It's impossible for her to disappear without a trace. She must still be nearby."
"That--"
Zhu Xuan's expression darkened, and he said, "Expand the search area."
Shi Yiru asked, "Do we need to search outside the city as well?"
"Yes, including the seaside, those inconspicuous fishing villages, and any Taoist temples. Search them all. Don't leave a single inch of land untouched!"
At this point, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes: "Having come this far, I absolutely cannot fail like I did at the Great Altar, where I built a mountain of nine-tenths and failed at the last moment!"
"yes!"
Shi Yiru accepted the order and immediately went down to pass it on.
Zhu Xuan turned around again and looked at Zhai Yun on the other side: "No news from Jian Ruocheng yet?"
"No."
"What about the situation at sea?"
"Father has already dispatched ships to search the nearby seas. We should have news soon. However—"
"But what?"
A cold look flashed through Zhai Yun's eyes. "There has been no news for so many days. Your Highness, I'm afraid there's something wrong with Jian Ruocheng."
“…”
Upon hearing these words, a cold light flashed in Zhu Xuan's eyes.
After a while, he said coldly, "If he really has a problem, how can I tolerate him?"

Nan Yan drank a few mouthfuls of porridge from the bowl in the old woman's hand and sighed softly.
Because of the injury on her neck, she not only couldn't speak, but she couldn't even swallow food normally. She could only drink some clear porridge and rice soup to get by.
This is really painful.
She had a good appetite and could eat two bowls of rice without any problem. Now that her body was damaged, she needed to eat to replenish her strength. However, she couldn't eat the fish and shrimp on the table and could only drink porridge.
I want to cry but I have no tears.
Seeing her aggrieved expression, the old woman wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said softly, "Don't be sad, girl. The pain will go away once your injury heals."
Nan Yan was too embarrassed to say that she was greedy.
I could only nod slightly.
“Ahh.”
The old woman smiled and said, "You're welcome."
After being awake for more than a day, although the girl could not speak yet, she could already understand the meaning of her "Ahhh", and every time she helped her do something, she would nod to express her gratitude.
What a gentle and polite girl.
The old woman thought about it and her liking for her increased a little bit, and Nan Yan then said "ah ah" to her twice and stretched out her hand to touch her face and hair.
The old woman understood: "You want to take a bath and wash your hair?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, I'll go boil some water for you."
It has been a day or two since they pulled me out of the sea. Because of my injuries, I haven't been washed yet. My whole body is sticky and I feel very uncomfortable.
After a while, the hot water was ready. Nan Yan washed herself with difficulty and immediately felt refreshed.
Much more comfortable.
However, after taking a bath, the little strength and energy she had built up during the day were all used up. The old woman helped her sit back on the bed and dried her hair. Looking at her clean appearance, she smiled and said, "You are so beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven."
"ah……"
Nan Yan felt a little embarrassed.
How can I be called a fairy when I look like this?
She knew that she was not ugly, but in a harem filled with beauties, especially with the stunning Qin Ruolan and the charming Feng Shu in front of her, her "beauty" was really worthless.
The old woman smiled and said, "My husband and I have lived for so many years and have never seen a woman as beautiful as you."
"Well……"
"I've never seen a man as good-looking as you, my dear."
"ah."
In the more than one day since she woke up, the old woman had mentioned that "noble man" in front of her no less than a hundred times.
But even after saying it so many times, the old woman still didn't get tired of it——
"That noble man is truly good-looking, tall, and handsome, just like the Master Zhenjun in the painting. I've never seen such a good person before."
“…”
"His eyebrows are thick and black, his nose is high, his mouth is round, and his eyes are bright."
“…”
"Anyway, it's the best you can think of."
“…”
"He was very kind to the girl. He stayed with her all night long and behaved very well. He even fed her medicine."
“…”
"It's a pity that he left like this."
“…”
"I wonder if I can see him again in the future. If I do, I'm sure I'll like him."
After hearing this, Nan Yan just smiled faintly.
Listening to what the old woman said, that "noble man" was truly an outstanding man.
However, no matter how handsome he is, how can he be more handsome than Zhu Feng?
The old woman said that he was the best appearance she could think of, but after thinking for a long time, the best appearance she could come up with was still Zhu Feng.
He is probably the best person I can meet.
However, she was somewhat curious about the noble person they were talking about.
What kind of person is he?
She was thinking when suddenly there was a noise outside.
Nan Yan subconsciously looked up and looked outside, but saw nothing. However, the old woman heard the noise outside, comforted her with a few words, then put down the bowl in her hand and walked out. When she looked up, she saw a group of strange men breaking into their village with swords in their hands.
