Chapter 2064: Your Majesty, do you think it’s me?
"The second reason is that the person I like is not the King of Wei."
“…”
Nan Yan was startled.
But she didn't speak immediately. Instead, she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then looked up at Nan Yan and said seriously, "I don't like King Wei."
Although she usually spoke very boldly and calmly in front of Zhu Chengxuan and Gu Qiqing, she was still a little girl after all, and she was still a little timid when it came to expressing her likes and dislikes in front of her elders.
After saying that, Nan Yan saw that the tips of her ears had turned a little red.
Nan Yan smiled in her heart, and with a gentle smile on her face, she said, "You, don't like the King of Wei?"
"yes."
"May I know why?"
“…”
"Although I also know that liking each other is not necessary, the King of Wei is a very good child with a good character and temper. Do you really not like him at all?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said softly, "The Queen also said that it's not necessary for people to like each other. I think the Queen also understands that just because you have a good character and temper doesn't mean you will be liked by others."
Nan Yan nodded: "That's true."
"The King of Wei is indeed very good, gentle and considerate. Even though he only has Qi Qing in his heart, he is very good to me."
“…”
"But I know that it's the brother's kindness to his sister."
“…”
"Besides, I always feel that he is too gentle."
“…”
"It's so gentle that my heart can't move."
Having said this, she herself felt that what she said was incomprehensible. She only smiled shyly and said, "I hope Your Majesty will not blame me for talking nonsense."
Nan Yan looked at her for a while and said with a smile, "No."
In fact, she understood very well what Xu Xiaoxiao meant.
Gentleness is a good quality, but not necessarily such a quality can touch every woman's heart. Just like her, she has met many gentle people, from Jian Ruocheng to He Yi, all of them are gentle and considerate, but she only regards these people as friends and confidants, but they cannot make her heart moved.
What moved her heart was the irritable Emperor.
All I can say is that men and women in this world are all suited to their own needs.
Thinking of this, she smiled. Xu Xiaoxiao had been very cautious after saying those words, but suddenly saw her smile, she felt a little lost.
When Nan Yan saw her like this, she immediately said, "Xiao Xiao...can I call you that?"
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you are praising me."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, I feel very comforted that you are willing to tell me the truth."
“…”
"Perhaps I don't understand what kind of person can make your heart flutter, but I do understand that the King of Wei can't make you flutter. And you only want to be with someone who can make your heart flutter, right?"
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly.
For so long, she has not been able to tell anyone what is in her heart.
Although she had close contacts with King Wei and Qi Qing, those two people faced their own problems, and she still had to help them communicate and meet each other. To be honest, they really didn't have the extra energy to care about what she thought.
So, she has been helping them all the time, but she is all alone.
I don't know where I got the courage from today, but I told my inner thoughts to someone for the first time, and that person was the Imperial Concubine who had no blood relationship with me.
She got her understanding.
She said happily, "Thank you, my lady."
Nan Yan said, "You don't have to thank me. I should be the one thanking you for being so honest with me."
“…”
"So, these days, you have been helping both of them."
"Yes,"
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "The King of Wei wants to see Qi Qing, but he's in the palace and it's hard to hide from my aunt, so he can only ask me to contact Qi Qing. I also often hang out at the Gu family and have become good friends with Qi Qing. This way, Uncle Gu won't be so wary of me anymore."
"So, you found an opportunity and arranged this time for them to meet?"
"Yes."
"Then can you tell me, with so many places in the capital, why did you choose Zhenjue Temple as the place for them to meet?"
“…”
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this question, she was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Nan Yan and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, do you think that I chose Zhenjue Temple for them to meet?"
Nan Yan was also stunned: "Isn't it?"
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook her head: "No."
“…”
"It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei who chose Zhenjue Temple as the meeting place."
"What?"

"Da Da"
After two soft sounds, two pairs of feet landed behind a high wall.
In front of them was a quiet courtyard, and in front of it was a tall sycamore tree, which just covered the figures of the two people.
Of course, even without the tree, no one would have noticed them.
Because there are very few people coming and going in this courtyard.
But even so, Ye Zheng still carefully turned sideways to make sure he was completely hidden by the tree trunk, then turned back to He Yi and said, "I really want the emperor and the ministers to come over and take a look."
“…”
"This is the chief minister of our Great Yan Dynasty, and the former left chancellor of the Secretariat."
“…”
"The Emperor's Prime Minister!"
“…”
"You actually took me over the wall!"
“…”
"Besides, we climbed over the wall of a nunnery. If this gets out, the emperor will tear us into pieces!"
He Yi stood behind him. Although he was taller than Ye Zheng, he was thinner and more agile than a crane. The tree trunk just blocked his view.
He said with a smile: "Since Lord Ye is unwilling to come here to investigate the case as an official, then we will not use the official method."
"Even if we don't use the government's methods, there's no need to use the thieves' methods."
"I would like to use the ordinary method, but as you just heard, can ordinary people come in?"
"this--"
Ye Zheng was speechless.
Indeed, he had heard what those people said just now at the gate of Zhenjue Temple. People could still enter and exit Zhenjue Temple freely, but the iron gates of the nunnery inside had been locked, and outsiders were not allowed to enter or exit.
But if we want to get to the bottom of this matter, we have to enter this temple.
So, the two of them took a risk.
After circling for a long time, they found a corner. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the two of them climbed over the wall and entered the nunnery behind Zhenjue Temple.
Come to think of it, it’s quite exciting.
He had done everything in his life, but this was the first time he had climbed over the wall of a nunnery.
Ye Zheng asked: "Now, what should we do?"
He Yi glanced at him.
"You came to me, don't you know what to do?"
"hey-hey."
"You should know who you are looking for here."
"It seems you know it very well."
"……Um."
Ye Zheng glanced outside and said, "Empress Dowager Noble's younger sister—although she has been erased from the family tree, her identity is special, and not many people in the court dare to ask about her. Let's find her first."
