Chapter 1366: Two-legged men are everywhere on the street
She asked, "What happened?"
Ran Xiaoyu bit her lower lip, her face paler than before. She turned her head and told the story of what had happened while sweeping the floor.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
After a while, he said, "So he never came to see you again?"
"No."
At this point, Ran Xiaoyu seemed a little angry herself, and said coldly: "It's better if he doesn't come to me. I get annoyed just looking at him. If he doesn't come to me, he'll be fine."
Nan Yan looked at her for a long while, then smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Why are you doing this? I know you're feeling bad too."
“…”
Under normal circumstances, Ran Xiaoyu would have continued to stubbornly say that she didn't have it, but this time, she didn't even seem to have the energy to retort. She just remained silent and took another wet cloth to wipe the table.
Nan Yan said, "Ye Zheng did the right thing."
"Yes? But has he ever thought about you?"
"Then, have you ever thought about the emperor?"
"Why should I—"
Halfway through her words, Ran Xiaoyu was stunned.
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Only those who eat the emperor's salary should bear the emperor's worries. It is the emperor who pays his salary, not me, the imperial concubine."
“…”
"Helping me is something he wants to do besides his regular work, but it's not what he should do."
“…”
"Under such circumstances, the safety of the Emperor and the stability of the Great Yan Dynasty are what he truly needs to consider. Since you're with him, you should also consider him."
"Why should I think about him? He doesn't even think about you."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Silly girl, don't you understand?"
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at her: "What?"
Nan Yan said, "Ye Zheng is the emperor's confidant. Although he is only a footman in front of the emperor now, the emperor has entrusted him with many important matters. He will definitely be promoted to the rank of First Class Duke in the future. His wife will also definitely be an imperial edict. To put it simply, she is very close to the secrets of the palace."
“…”
"But you're so impulsive that you can't hide anything. How can that be okay?"
At this point, Ran Xiaoyu's face flushed and paled, and she immediately said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are talking about. Anyway, I don't want to pay attention to him!"
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan sighed.
She deliberately said, "If you really think so, then it's fine. Anyway, he won't come to you in the future."
“……!”
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at her, her eyes somewhat surprised.
Nan Yan said: "Now, he may have given up the idea of you."
“…”
"If you really don't like him, that's fine."
“…”
"Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. When I have the chance in the future, I will help you find another good man to marry."
If she had heard this at other times, Ran Xiaoyu would have jumped up, but this time, not only did she not jump up, she also stood there blankly, clutching the rag tightly with both hands, almost wringing out water.
Only then did she remember that day when Ye Zheng looked at her with anger and a hint of disappointment.
Is it really as Nan Yan said?
At this time, Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu also received the news and came over. They heard some things and although they were worried, they thought that the cold palace was not cleaned thoroughly, so they did not ask too many questions and focused on cleaning the room first.
Nan Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the deepening autumn colors outside, her eyes becoming more solemn.
The dispute between Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu also caused her some trouble.
Without Ye Zheng, it would not be easy for her to obtain things from the cabinet treasury on her own.
We have to find another way.
