Chapter 1270 It is impossible to be ordinary
That night, the two of them spent the night in this simple, stuffy, and mosquito-infested room.
Because there was only one bed, Nan Yan insisted that Ran Xiaoyu sleep with her.
But when I opened my eyes the next morning, I found Ran Xiaoyu leaning against the head of the bed, holding the round fan in one hand, and sleeping in a daze.
It turned out that in the middle of the night, Ran Xiaoyu felt that Nan Yan was tossing and turning because of the heat and couldn't sleep. She was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, so she secretly got up and fanned her with a fan for half the night. Only then did Nan Yan reluctantly fall asleep, while she herself could only take a nap at dawn.
Nan Yan was heartbroken.
Especially when I saw that her arms, face, and neck were all covered with red bites from mosquitoes, and her whole body was covered with red marks, while I didn't have any on my body.
He whispered, “Xiaoyu, you seem to be suffering all the time when you follow me.”
Ran Xiaoyu had originally brought her a basin of warm water to wash up. Upon hearing this, she raised her head and rolled her eyes at her: "What do you mean by this?"
“…”
"Could it be that you think of me as someone who is greedy for wealth and pleasure?"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I only said that I made you suffer, but I didn't say that you were the kind of person who coveted wealth and pleasure. At least, if we don't have those two things, we still have the option of a 'plain and simple' life."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Don't dream."
“…”
"As long as you are in the harem, and a dignified imperial concubine, there is no such thing as a 'mediocre' life. In this life, you will either enjoy happiness or suffer."
“…”
Hearing her words, Nan Yan was slightly shocked.
Thinking back, isn’t that the case?
She is a noble concubine, and also the emperor's favorite. Even if she doesn't bother anyone, there will still be angry eyes and jealous feelings in the palace. It is indeed impossible to say that she can live a peaceful life.
I am really dreaming.
Unexpectedly, Ran Xiaoyu was very sober.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Although it's impossible for me to live such an ordinary life, you can still do it, but you are just being dragged down by me."
Ran Xiaoyu's face became stern again.
"What are you going to say, Madam?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "What I mean is, in the future, when everything can be a little more stable, you and Ye Zheng will-"
"Don't tell me!"
Ran Xiaoyu interrupted her rudely: "I don't want it!"
"Why? He's so nice to you."
"Humph, who asked him to be nice to me?"
"No one asked him to be nice to you, he did it on his own. It's not easy to have someone like him around who takes care of you in every possible way."
"I asked him to bring in some hot water and food, but he was just dragging his feet."
"oh."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
No wonder there was warm water available when I was washing up just now. It turned out to be all thanks to Ye Zheng.
Nan Yan said, "It's not easy for him either."
“…”
"Such a big thing happened this time. He has to be busy chasing the rebels outside and taking care of the two of us. Even a god has to take a nap sometimes."
Ran Xiaoyu brought some more food over. Although it was not as good as the delicacies outside, this was the cold palace in the old imperial palace after all. It was not bad to have normal porridge and vegetables to eat.
She said to Nan Yan, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to be worried at all about being banished to the cold palace this time."
Nan Yan looked up at her.
Ran Xiaoyu filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to her.
Nan Yan took it and took a sip, then said, "As long as, as long as the emperor knew, he would definitely take us out."
“…”
"So I'm not worried at all."
Ran Xiaoyu nodded: "That's true."
Apart from the fact that the room was indeed a bit too shabby, and the hot weather made her worry that Nan Yan would get heatstroke, she herself was actually not too worried about being banished to the cold palace this time. As Nan Yan said, as long as Zhu Feng woke up and knew about this, he would definitely take them out.
Wu Wan, Feng Qianyan and others won't be able to be proud for many days.
Ran Xiaoyu served her breakfast. Because the weather was too hot, Nan Yan only drank a bowl of porridge and put down her chopsticks. Ran Xiaoyu tried to persuade her for a long time, but she still couldn't eat.
Ran Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Even if you don't eat, the baby in your belly still needs to eat."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "This child is probably not even as big as one of my fingers right now. How much can he eat?"
"You are just like that, my lady. You are too arrogant."
Ran Xiaoyu was muttering to herself while cleaning up the dishes.
After breakfast, she cleaned the house again so that Nan Yan could live a little more comfortably. After a while, it was noon.
When she made an appointment with Ye Zheng.
Nan Yan originally wanted to go out with her, but at this time, the sun was at its hottest outside. The house was like a steamer, and going outside would feel more like being roasted by fire.
Ran Xiaoyu stopped her and said, "My Lady, you absolutely cannot go out. You will get heatstroke if you are exposed to the scorching sun!"
"That--"
"I'm going, I'll be back soon."
"Then you have to be careful too."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
Even so, Nan Yan still stood at the door, watching her back disappear in the dazzling sunlight. At this time, the scorching temperature baked the entire earth red. Even though Nan Yan was standing under the eaves, she felt sweat all over her body.
But she stood there motionless.
Time passes by little by little.
It was noon in midsummer and there was not even a trace of wind.
The leaves of the trees outside were almost scorched and curled up slightly. The cicadas' chirping was a bit harsh, adding fuel to the fire in my heart.
Nan Yan was looking forward to it.
The dazzling sunlight made her eyes turn white from time to time.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally saw Ran Xiaoyu walking towards me from a distance.
Her steps were fast, but, contrary to her usual behavior, they seemed heavy.
Nan Yan hurried out: "Xiao Yu!"
Seeing her walk out under the scorching sun, Ran Xiaoyu's pale face was filled with worry. She hurried over and supported her: "My lady, you can't come out like this, you will get heatstroke!"
Drag her back to the room and sit her down.
Nan Yan didn't care how uncomfortable she was at the moment, she just grabbed her wrist, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood: "How is it? What's the news outside?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu didn't answer her immediately.
However, the deep wrinkles between his eyebrows allowed Nan Yan to tell at a glance that something had happened.
She hurriedly said, "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "My Lady, I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you must stay calm."
Nan Yan felt like she was suffocating.
"What happened?"
