Chapter 1433 Mother
Nan Yan's eyes flashed slightly.
She suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, it's for the children."
This time, the other party was stunned by what she said.
And Nan Yan continued: "It's just that it's not my child."
"It's not your child, it's—"
"It's Concubine Ning's child."
"Concubine Ning?"
The other party hesitated for a moment, then seemed to come to his senses immediately and said, "Do you want to wait until Concubine Ning gives birth before taking any action?"
"good."
"Why?"
"Why?" Nan Yan sneered and asked, "Since you are so insightful and know so many secrets that we don't know, how could you not understand this?"
"What's the meaning?"
"The Emperor is already over thirty, yet he only has two children, the Prince of Wei and a princess. Such a small number of offspring is not only a disgrace to his ancestors, but even for an ordinary family, it would seem too desolate and a bad omen."
“…”
"He naturally values this child."
“…”
"If you value this child so much, why would you run away from the palace before the child is born?"
"So, you want to wait until Concubine Ning gives birth, and then find a way to lure him to Yumen Pass."
"good."
“…”
The other party was silent for a while, then said, "Your Highness, what you said is quite reasonable, but there is one thing I don't quite understand."
"Oh? What?"
"The emperor won't leave the imperial city until there's a result with this child, but that result doesn't necessarily have to be the birth of the child."
When these words came out, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She said, "What do you mean by that?"
"Haha," the other person smiled faintly. Although the laughter was plain, it revealed an indescribable coldness, as if a cold wind suddenly blew in from the window, blowing through the person's body and bones in an instant, and quenching the ice-cold.
"How could the Imperial Concubine not understand what I mean when she sits in this position?"
“…”
"What's more, this Concubine Ning has been eyeing you covetously, and even wants to get rid of you as soon as possible."
“…”
"Your Highness, are you so tolerant of others?"
“…”
"Or, are you really not afraid that she will give birth to a prince and soar to fame that she won't even pay attention to you, the imperial concubine?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
She said calmly, "I know what you mean. It's not easy for a concubine in the harem to get pregnant. It's not easy to keep the pregnancy, and it's even harder to keep the pregnancy and give birth. I don't know how many people are plotting against other people's children."
“…”
"But I don't have that intention."
"Why, are you really not afraid that she will give birth to a prince and take away your honor and favor?"
Nan Yan sneered and said, "The emperor is my enemy, why would I still care about his favor?"
“…”
This sentence left the other party speechless.
Nan Yan continued, "I want revenge and justice, but I won't resort to any means necessary to achieve these goals, and I certainly don't want to become someone who does whatever it takes."
“…”
"People like that are not human beings, they are devils!"
“……!”
For some reason, when the mysterious man behind the curtain heard her words, his originally steady figure trembled slightly.
It seemed as if he was greatly shocked.
He murmured, "Devil? Is it the devil?"
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at him with burning eyes.
This person seems to have a deep understanding of this sentence.
The two of them sat in silence for a while. They felt that the man had slowly regained his composure. Then he smiled at Nan Yan and said, "It seems that the concubine's hatred is not as deep as I thought."
"What?"
This sentence made Nan Yan's heart skip a beat, and she asked, "You, what do you mean?"
The man sneered and said, "What I mean is that people will become devils."
“…”
"Become a devil for hatred."
“…”
"And Your Majesty, even now, there are still things that you cannot let go of. It seems that your obsession with hatred is not as deep as I thought."
“…”
"Or perhaps this hatred is not so unforgivable to you."
Nan Yan frowned and looked at him.
This person has such terrifying insight.
In this world, there must be some unforgivable sins, and there must be people who give up their rationality for hatred. The fact that he has always insisted on this point made him see his own rationality.
The other party said: "Then, can I assume that maybe one day you will forgive the emperor?"
“……!”
Nan Yan's breath was caught in her throat, but before she could say anything, the other party continued, saying lightly: "If that day really comes, it won't matter."
“…”
"only--"
"Only what?"
"It's just that there are some secrets you will never know."
"secret?"
When she heard these two words, Nan Yan's heart sank again.
Now, she almost had no way of thinking about who this mysterious man was, but he really knew too many secrets that others didn't know, and many of them were even closely related to her.
Now, the "secret" he mentioned is probably...
Nan Yan held her breath and said carefully, "What secret are you talking about?"
"The secret about your life."
"My background?"
Nan Yan felt cold all over and said, "You mean, my——"
"your mother."
“…”
"You already know who your father is, but you still don't know who your mother is. You don't know who gave birth to you, and you don't know where she is now, whether she is alive or dead."
"You, you know?"
Nan Yan's voice trembled as she spoke this: "Do you know who my mother is?"
But this time, the other party did not continue.
He just slowly turned his head and glanced down through the half-open window, as if he saw something in the bustling crowd. He smiled faintly and said, "Okay, now, don't ask your mother."
“…”
"As a mother, you can rest assured."
“…”
Nan Yan was still a little dazed, because her whole body and mind were attracted by his words just now, and she couldn't recover: "What did you say?"
"Your daughter, Princess Shinpei, has returned."
"She's back?!"
Nan Yan felt happy again. This mixture of sadness and joy almost made her whole body tense like a string, and she didn't know when it would break.
She was eager to turn around and go downstairs to pick up Xinping, but hesitated and looked back.
The man just waved his hand lightly at her.
"You go ahead."
“…”
"However, I hope Your Majesty will think twice before doing anything next."
