Chapter 1869 Are you so affectionate towards him?
When I walked into the room, I saw Li Bushan holding Nan Yan and striding to the bed. He carefully and gently put her back on the bed. After putting her down, he even bent down and reached out to pull the quilt on the bed to cover her.
“That’s enough!”
This time, Ran Xiaoyu finally dared to take action and pulled him aside.
He said sternly, "Commander Li, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you should know what you can and cannot do."
“…”
"Are you determined to make His Majesty lose all trust in the Empress and make her never have a peaceful life in the harem?"
Hearing her words, Li Bushang glanced at her.
His gaze was more suppressed than before, but he was speechless.
After a while, he lowered his head again and looked at Nan Yan, whose face was still a little pale and even unconsciously put her arms around herself, as if she was a little cold.
The voice was hoarse: "Nan--Noble Concubine..."
Hearing him finally speak, Nan Yan looked up at him.
He only glanced at me and immediately turned his face away.
Then he said, "How could you—I thought the emperor kept you in the capital."
Li Bushang said: "The capital is guarded by someone."
"Then, the emperor brought you here to let you perform meritorious service."
"The Emperor never wanted to bring me here."
“…”
These words left Nan Yan stunned.
After thinking about it again, I began to understand.
Zhu Feng neither asked him to guard the capital nor brought him to Shazhouwei, which means that he did not assign him any tasks at all.
He has been completely marginalized and is not reused at all.
Not to mention that he is not reused, he is not needed at all.
It was clear that his and Nan Yan's sudden "disappearance" last time must have left a deep shadow in Zhu Feng's heart. Li Bushang was originally trained by Zhu Feng, but now he has become a discarded pawn.
However, since he was not brought here, why would he come here?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan looked up at him with some confusion.
Before he could ask, he heard Li Bushang say solemnly, "I, want to see you."
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the whole room became a little strange and increasingly heavy.
Nan Yan immediately understood.
He had become an abandoned pawn, left idle, so he had secretly followed Shazhouwei to see him?!
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "You, you are so brave!"
“…”
"You know, if the emperor knew, he would chop off your head!"
Li Bushang didn't say anything.
There was no fear in his eyes, he just looked at Nan Yan silently.
The persistence and determination in his eyes made people even more frightened and heartbroken.
He coughed lightly, then said, "He didn't realize that the Jinyiwei would also protect me."
“…”
After all, he was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and almost all the people in the Jinyiwei were his brothers who had sworn life and death with him. Moreover, the emperor just didn't bring him with him, and didn't explicitly forbid him to follow. He took advantage of this loophole and followed with an ordinary identity, and everyone turned a blind eye.
If the truth is revealed, he will take full responsibility.
Nan Yan still said: "You are too bold!"
“…”
"Even if you come, you shouldn't—what if you get discovered?"
Li Bushang said: "I have something to tell you."
Nan Yan looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
Li Bushang didn't speak immediately, but glanced at his side. Nan Yan thought for a moment and said to Ran Xiaoyu, "You go out first."
"Your Majesty—"
"Go out first."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned, but Nan Yan had already given the order, so she had no choice but to leave the room and leave the door ajar, but leaving a line so that she could hear the noise inside and report it to someone who came.
There were only two of them left in the room.
The atmosphere became more tense.
After that time, not only did they never spend time together like this alone, they never even met each other again.
Nan Yan didn't know how he spent those days.
But at this moment, when he looked up, he could see his thin outline. He was taller than before, but he was too thin to look good, with raised cheekbones and sunken cheeks.
The originally wolf-like eyes, with such angles, appear even more wolf-like.
It seemed as if the next moment he would pounce on his prey, tear it into pieces and swallow it into his stomach.
Nan Yan, I've experienced this once.
So when she faced him again, even though she knew that he couldn't do anything to her in this situation, the cold sweat on her palms couldn't stop running out. She couldn't help but pinch the corner of her clothes, trying to wipe away the cold sweat.
And this small action actually caught Li Bushang's eyes.
A trace of panic flashed in the wolf's eyes.
He suppressed his anger and whispered, "You, don't be afraid of me."
“…”
"I won't—I won't, ever hurt you again."
Nan Yan lowered her head and said softly, "Don't talk about the past anymore."
“…”
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Bushang stared at her for a long moment. That look made Nan Yan feel even more uneasy. He finally spoke, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear, "Your agreement with that person, are you not going to fulfill it?"
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart sank suddenly and she looked up at Li Bushang.
In fact, when Li Bushan said he had something to tell her, she probably guessed that he was going to say this.
She also remembered that she met the mysterious man because she was kidnapped by Li Bushan. Although Li Bushan was taken away on the man's ship, she was afraid that many things could not be hidden from him.
The mysterious man was able to release him, so he must have told him a lot of things.
But she never expected that Li Bushan would come back to remind her.
Nan Yan grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked at him: "You, you come to tell me this, what are you going to do?"
“…”
Li Bushang looked at her silently.
She said softly, "Don't worry."
“…”
"I'm not here to urge you, and that man can't urge me either. He just knows how I feel about you, so we can get along peacefully."
“…”
"Now, I just want to ask you, you——"
Having said that, he leaned down again and moved in front of Nan Yan. Their eyes met, and their breathing almost intertwined.
Li Bushang asked, "Do you no longer care about what the emperor did to you, what he did to you in the past?"
“…”
"Have you forgiven him?"
“…”
"Have you decided to go back to him and stay with him forever?"
His series of questions were like heavy punches, hitting Nan Yan's chest hard.
It was almost too much for her to bear, and she found it difficult to even breathe.
Nan Yan subconsciously turned her head away.
But Li Bu Shang stretched out his hand and supported himself on the bed behind her, forcing her to face him, and said in a suppressed voice: "Are you so affectionate towards him?"
