Chapter 1752: Deceiving the Emperor and the Concubine
When Nan Yan walked to the gate, she saw several guards standing there, their backs as straight as javelins.
As soon as he saw her, he knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan nodded, then said, "Did the emperor ask you to come here to guard?"
"Exactly."
"Then, can I come in?"
One of the guards said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are joking. No matter where you are here, Your Majesty is the same as the Emperor. We dare not stop you."
Nan Yan also smiled, but said, "Except for me, you still have to fulfill your duties and don't let anyone else come in and out at will. The emperor wants to conquer those bandits in Hot Moon Bay. The next battle is very important, and the people involved are also very important."
"I understand."
Nan Yan nodded and walked in.
Although she had just told the guards that it was Li Lai, she did not come in to see Li Lai.
But he was a little worried about the blind girl's original intention.
She has a strange temper. She wanted to walk around the mansion before, but was sent back by the guards. I could feel that she was in a bad mood. These two days, I have been only concerned about Gu Yiyou and Ye Zheng, and have not come to visit her. I wonder how she is doing.
I walked over and found her door was closed.
strangeness……
It's getting late now. Normally, she would get up and open the door to bask in the sun.
Sometimes, Xue Ling would come to accompany her.
Today, the door is closed, as if no one has woken up yet.
Nan Yan walked forward with some doubts and listened inside. There was no sound at all. She whispered, "Chu Xin? Chu Xin, are you awake?"
At this moment, Chu Xin, who had barely slept the entire night and was sitting on the bedside with a red handkerchief in his hand, hurriedly put the handkerchief away when he heard her voice and blurted out, "Who?"
"It's me."
She listened again and recognized it was Nan Yan's voice.
Although she was reluctant to be disturbed, Nan Yan was the owner of the place after all, and she couldn't just send people back without opening the door. She could only stand up, tidy up her messy hair a little, then walk out and open the door.
Although I can't see it, as soon as I open the door, the sunlight outside shines on me.
It also illuminated her pale face.
Nan Yan said, "You—didn't you get enough rest? Why do you look so haggard?"
Chu Xin was a little unaccustomed to such gentleness. She said, "I'm fine. What are you doing here?"
Nan Yan said, "I came to see you. Where's Xue Ling? Doesn't she usually come to accompany you?"
"she?"
When Xue Ling is mentioned, my original intention comes to mind.
It's also a bit strange. A few days ago, she came to accompany me every day. Although I didn't pay much attention to her, I have to say that having someone around, even if it's just to talk, doesn't seem to make me feel so cold in this snowy weather.
Somehow, she suddenly stopped coming.
However, she was also accustomed to the comings and goings in this world, and even more accustomed to loneliness and indifference, so she said lightly: "Whether she comes or not is none of my business."
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her.
She could see that when Chu Xin mentioned Xue Ling, her expression was still dazed for a moment, but her indifference covered up all her emotions.
Nan Yan sighed, then said: "Actually, it's because something big happened in the mansion these past two days, and everyone is very busy, so everyone may have overlooked you."
Chu Xin frowned: "What's the big deal?"
"You must have heard about it, too."
As Nan Yan spoke, she walked into the room and sat down, saying, "My brother was injured by those sand bandits."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin frowned.
Nan Yan said, "They wanted to wipe out the sand bandits, but they didn't expect that this group of sand bandits was very cunning. This time, they failed."
“…”
As she spoke, she saw the solemn look on Chu Xin's face.
Of course she knew, Chu Xin had told her before that she came here to find the unfaithful Han Jiang Qu, and according to some previous information, Jiang Qu seemed to be in the bandit's lair here.
Nan Yan said, "It's a pity that we couldn't reach the Hot Moon Crescent this time, nor could we find your treacherous lover."
“…”
"But don't worry, we will be able to turn defeat into victory soon."
“…”
"By then, I will definitely ask the emperor—I will ask my husband to send someone to help you thoroughly search for Jiang Qu's whereabouts. I also hope that he can give you an explanation as soon as possible and fulfill your wish."
“…”
At this time, Chu Xin's heartbeat became a little heavy.
Jiang Qu...
He is a member of the Sand Bandits, but now, he appears in this mansion.
What exactly is his purpose here, and what role will he play in the upcoming war?
Almost subconsciously, she wanted to ask the lady in front of her.
But the words Jiang Qu said to him last night rang in his mind again -
"When this matter is over, when they send troops to attack Shazhouwei for the second time, no matter what the result is, I will give you an explanation."
"By then, you will understand my difficulties."
"By then, perhaps, we can go back to the past."
"I will make up for all the pain you've suffered over the years and repay you for all the things I owe you over the years."
"We, we can still—"
…
She suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. Nan Yan immediately looked at her: "What's wrong with you? You look - something's wrong?"
As she spoke, she reached out to help Chu Xin.
Chu Xin felt her approaching him, and immediately reached out to block her. He stepped aside and sat down, saying, "I'm fine. I just feel a little weird."
"What's strange?"
"Strange, who are you guys?"
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly.
Chu Xin said, "You seem to have troops here, but this place is Shazhouwei, right? You have troops here, and you can mobilize troops to attack the bandits in Hot Moon Bay. You are not ordinary people."
“…”
"You and your husband, who are you?"
Looking at her serious expression, Nan Yan sighed, knowing that some things could not be covered up.
In fact, she didn't want to hide it any longer.
So he said, "This palace, I don't mean to hide it from you."
"My Lord?"
When Chu Xin heard these two words, his empty eyes widened and looked at Nan Yan: "You, you are——"
Nan Yan said: "Yes, I am the Imperial Concubine Si Nan Yan."
“…”
"My husband is the current emperor."
“……!”
Chu Xin couldn't believe his ears.
She stared blankly at Nan Yan for a long while before she stood up and kowtowed to her with a complicated expression: "I, a humble woman, pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
And inside, there was a turmoil.
Jiang Qu, he hid here under a false name, and actually deceived the emperor and the imperial concubine!
What on earth is he going to do?!
