Chapter 1596 Meeting
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Not bad."
Then he looked at the waiter and said, "It seems that there are not many customers in your store today."
The waiter laughed and said, "Madam, you're right. We just celebrated the New Year, and every household has some food left. Who would still want to come out to eat?"
At this point, he was afraid of offending Nan Yan, implying that her family didn't have "surplus food," so he quickly added with a smile, "Only a noble and respectable person like Madam wouldn't have to worry about that every day."
Nan Yan smiled.
It was at this place that she met the mysterious man last time. Moreover, the man entered the private room in the presence of the emperor and his guards, so she suspected that this restaurant had some connection with him.
Therefore, let's try to repeat what the waiter said.
But it sounds like this waiter doesn't know anything. It seems that he is just an ordinary person.
So without saying much, I just ordered a few exquisite side dishes from their restaurant and let him go.
As soon as the door closed, the place became quiet.
However, the atmosphere did not ease. Ran Xiaoyu stood by the door with a cautious look on her face. Nan Yan looked at her and said with a smile: "Why are you like a door god?"
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her, thought for a long time, and then said, "Your Highness is really making a fuss."
“…”
"If the Emperor knew that His Majesty was eating outside during the journey, he would definitely be angry."
“…”
"What if we encounter danger?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, she just walked to the window, opened it a little, and looked down.
Although the waiter said that business was not very good, it was almost time for dinner, and there were a few more people coming and going at the restaurant entrance.
She walked back and sat at the table.
After waiting for a while, Nan Yan said, "Xiao Yu, go down and take a look."
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned: "What are you looking at?"
Nan Yan said, "You're right. This place is full of mixed people. We don't know who they are. Go down and tell the guards to be more cautious. Also, go check the kitchen."
This is something we should indeed keep an eye on.
but--
Ran Xiaoyu said, "I'll leave now. Your Majesty, will you stay here alone?"
Nan Yan said, "No one will break into this private room."
“…”
"You go quickly."
“…”
"Let's finish our meal early and return to the palace early."
"Oh well."
Ran Xiaoyu walked over and opened the door. After thinking for a moment, she turned back and said, "My lady, please don't run around."
"I see. You're really becoming more and more long-winded."
“…”
"I'm not a child."
“…”
"Go quickly."
"Yes, then I will go down first."
After saying that, Ran Xiaoyu left the private room.
Nan Yan was sitting inside alone.
She sat quietly until she heard Ran Xiaoyu's footsteps coming down the stairs. After a while, she walked to the window and looked down again.
People come and go.
However, there was no figure or face that she was familiar with.
She frowned slightly - in fact, this time she was just trying it out, and it might not really succeed. After all, to her, that person was a mysterious person, but to him, she was not mysterious at all.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
A cold wind blew in from the gap in the window, and Nan Yan was about to turn around and walk back.
But as soon as she turned around, she heard a laughing voice coming from the other side of the room, saying in a leisurely tone: "Why is the Imperial Concubine sighing?"
“……!”
When she heard this voice, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly raised her head, but saw that the door was closed and there was no one at the door.
Just when she was extremely surprised, the voice sounded again. This time, it seemed to carry a little tenderness and concern: "Is there something bothering you?"
“…”
The sound didn't come from outside the door.
But from next door!
Nan Yan hurriedly turned her head. One of the walls of this private room was actually a few screens. Although it was completely separated from the private room next door, she could still faintly see some shadows on the opposite side and hear the sounds from the opposite side.
When I looked closely, I saw a figure sitting at the next table.
His back was straight, one hand on the table.
There is also a cup of tea at hand.
Although she couldn't see the man's face, his familiar voice revealed his identity. Nan Yan's breathing suddenly tightened: "You, what are you doing——"
"Why are you so surprised?"
The other party smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, you dared to risk the wrath of the world, leave the palace, and come to this restaurant specially. Isn't it just to see me?"
"But the waiter just said—"
"He, he knows something."
“…”
Nan Yan suddenly stopped talking.
She had indeed just tried to test the waiter, but he knew nothing. It seemed that this restaurant was not under the control of this man, but he had people watching her at all times. He even knew where she had been and where she had stayed.
That's why you were able to come here so quickly and meet me.
That's right. If it's so easy to find out one of his forces, then it would be easy to find him.
This person would never allow such a thing to happen.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's breathing became heavier.
She took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Excellency has appeared here, I believe you are here to see me."
"certainly."
Nan Yan said, "Well, you should also know that the emperor has already issued an order that in a few days, we must prepare to leave the palace and head northwest."
"Um."
"In this way, you have achieved your goal."
The other party seemed to smile: "Isn't this what the Imperial Concubine also hopes for?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't respond.
She was silent for a moment before she said, "So what are you going to do next? And what should I do?"
The other party did not respond to her.
Instead, he remained silent for a long time, as if observing her.
After a while, the other party slowly said: "Haven't you ever thought about stopping him?"
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
She said, "Why, do you want me to stop the emperor from going to Yumen Pass?"
“…”
“…”
The private rooms on both sides suddenly became quiet.
Nan Yan looked next door, and the figure next door seemed to turn around and look at her.
There was something between the two people's gazes, but they seemed to be intertwined invisibly. There was no flicker in their eyes. On the contrary, Nan Yan's gaze was calmer than any other time when she met his.
That look was firm and powerful.
There is even a power that can see through people's bodies and souls.
The mysterious man opposite, who was always confident in everyone and everything and had no doubt about his control over everything, finally smiled and took a step back.
He said, "Of course not."
