Chapter 1824 He is still the one I love after all
However, she did not "walk around" as she said, but went straight to the west wing.
The two guards at the gate saluted immediately when they saw her.
"Greetings, Madam Noble Consort."
"No need to be polite."
Nan Yan raised her hand slightly, looked inside again, and then asked, "Has anything happened here in the past two days?"
The two guards said, "Nothing serious, everyone is behaving themselves very peacefully."
"Oh? That's good."
One of the guards lowered his head and asked, "Who is your Highness coming here to see?"
"Um……"
Nan Yan thought about it, but seemed to be unable to figure out who she wanted to see. She just smiled and said, "I'll go in and take a look."
"yes."
She was a noble concubine and could come and go freely in the Commandant's Mansion, so naturally no one could stop her.
So the two guards stepped aside.
Nan Yan walked in.
There were no one living in the west wing originally except for the few of them. Plus, there were guards at the door, and outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave, so it was even quieter.
However, Nan Yan had just taken two steps inside when she heard a familiar sound of "banging, banging, banging" coming from inside.
It was the sound of someone tapping the ground with a bamboo stick.
When I looked up, I saw Chu Xin leaning on her bamboo stick and slowly walking towards me.
Nan Yan saw her and was about to speak, but although she was blind, she had sharp ears and heard footsteps from the opposite direction. She immediately stopped and asked, "Who is it? Who's in front?"
“…”
"Yes, Madam Concubine?"
Nan Yan stepped forward with a smile: "It's me—it's me."
When Chu Xin heard it was her, she hesitated for a moment, but still bowed to her: "I, a commoner, pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan saw that her eyesight was not in good condition and was afraid that she would fall, so she hurried forward to support her.
Then he said, "No need to be so polite."
Chu Xin then stood up.
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile, and then said, "Where are you going?"
Chu Xin said, "I heard that the Imperial Concubine has returned, and I want to go see you."
"……oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smile.
After Chu Xin said that, she felt a little hesitant. You know, ever since she was rescued by Gu Yiyou and the others and brought back to the Duwei Mansion, she has had a bad attitude towards the people around her. Not only did she speak coldly to them, but she also kept people at a distance. Even though Nan Yan took care of her in every way, she never gave her a good face.
Even after she learned that this approachable lady was actually a noble concubine, she was not very enthusiastic towards her.
But just now, when I said that—
It seems like he is trying to curry favor with the powerful.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Xin would never do this. Even the emperor could not make her bow her head. But at this time, thinking about the difficulties Jiang Qu was facing, she could only bite the bullet.
However, the imperial concubine remained silent.
Just when she was about to say something else, she heard Nan Yan smile gently.
Then he said to her, "If your eyes are not feeling well, don't go out and walk around. It would be bad if you bump into something."
“…”
"It just so happens that I came to see you too."
Seeing that she didn't notice anything unusual, Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
fortunately……
Fortunately, she didn't guard against herself.
At this moment, she felt a warm and soft hand reaching out and holding her hand. The imperial concubine said to her, "It's cold outside. Let's go back to your room and talk."
"……yes."
Chu Xin was obediently led away by her.
When they left, Li Lai watched the scene from behind the door at the other end, with a sneer on his face.
Nan Yan, completely unaware, took Chu Xin's hand and walked back to her room. It was still warm and tidy. Although she was blind, she still loved tidiness and kept her place spotless.
Nan Yan took her to sit down, and then said, "These two days, everything is fine."
"fine."
"I'm just worried that after I'm gone, the people below will be lazy. These people are often lazy. If they do anything wrong, please tell me."
“…”
"Your eyes are not in good condition, so please don't be polite to me."
Chu Xin looked up at Nan Yan.
Although she had been blind for so many years and could no longer see anything, she still maintained normal habits. She would "look" towards the direction where the sound came from and also "look" towards the person who was talking to her.
At this moment, if she could see, she would definitely see Nan Yan's gentle gaze.
But even without seeing it, she seemed to feel a little warmth.
This sudden warmth made her hesitate.
Jiang Qu, what exactly is he going to do?
Since he was secretly helping the Sand Bandits and was an enemy of the Emperor and the people from the Commandant's Mansion, would his actions affect the safety of the Imperial Concubine?
She hesitated.
But immediately, the image of Jiang Qu being gentle and considerate towards him emerged in his mind again.
Even though she could no longer see him, his appearance had been firmly engraved in her heart over the years and she had never forgotten it. Especially in the past two days, she had been interacting with him from time to time, listening to his voice and feeling his tenderness and consideration for her.
After all, he is the one I love.
If I don't help him, what else can I do?
At this moment, Nan Yan's voice rang in his ears: "Chu Xin."
“…”
"Chu Xin? What's wrong with you? Why are you always in a trance?"
"ah?"
Chu Xin suddenly woke up, raised his head and said, "No, nothing."
“…”
"I just, I just feel it's weird."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "What's strange?"
Chu Xin said to her, "Didn't the Queen say before that you were going to Bailong City to take care of your pregnancy?"
“…”
After saying this, Chu Xin felt the room become quiet for a moment.
Although neither of them spoke very fast, there were naturally short pauses between their words because the person taking over had to think and choose his words carefully. Everyone had long been accustomed to these short, almost imperceptible pauses.
But for some reason, this moment of gap felt particularly abrupt.
Chu Xin even felt that Nan Yan's breath became heavier.
However, before she could wonder, she heard Nan Yan getting up and walking, muttering, "Hey? Where's the teacup? Why isn't there even a sip of tea in your room?"
“…”
It turned out that she was going to pour tea.
Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly stood up and fumbled to pour a cup of tea for Nan Yan. Nan Yan then took the cup, drank it, and smiled as she sat back in her chair. She then said, "Originally, I wanted to go there to take care of the baby, but it's not safe over there."
"Unsafe?"
"Yes, on the way, I unexpectedly encountered sand bandits. They controlled a pack of wolves to attack me."
"Really? Then the lady—"
"Of course I have nothing to do."
"That's good."
"What's so good about it?" Nan Yan said casually while drinking tea, "In Bailong City, there are also—"
