Chapter 1011 Romantic Affairs
The moment Nan Yan woke up and opened her eyes, she felt the sunlight.
I also saw a figure in the sunlight.
Tall, resolute, and with that familiar, dependable feeling, she felt at ease for a moment, but the next moment, the figure disappeared in the sunlight.
Nan Yan became anxious and woke up immediately.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was lying on a tattered bed. The mosquito net above my head was full of holes and patches.
Take another look around.
This was a very simple room. Apart from the bed and a paint-peeled cabinet in the corner, there was no other furniture. She was confused for a moment, then immediately realized that she was definitely not on the same ship as before.
It’s not in Prince Ning’s Mansion either.
Where is this place?
She subconsciously stretched out her hands to prop herself up, but her hands and feet had no strength at all. She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but she felt a sharp pain in her throat and couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, the voices of a pair of elderly people came from outside——
"Oh, why did you leave like this?"
"I didn't take anything."
"I had thought I'd keep him for a few more days, but I didn't expect him to leave just like that."
"Boss, do you want to go and catch up?"
…
After listening to these words, Nan Yan seemed to understand something, but also felt confused. The more anxious she was to speak, the more painful her throat became, and she couldn't help but cough lightly.
“Ahem—”
The person outside was quiet for a moment, then heard her voice and hurried in.
They were a couple who looked very old.
"Girl, are you awake?"
The old boatman was overjoyed when he saw her wake up. The old woman also came over and said, "Thank God, Amitabha, you are finally awake, girl. We were all worried that you would not survive."
"Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh, yes, yes, I was talking nonsense. Miss, this is a lucky person who has a good fortune."
Nan Yan was speechless and had difficulty reacting. She could only watch the two of them rejoice. The old boatman suddenly remembered something and said anxiously, "Oh, the noble man left without even seeing you wake up."
"What should we do then?"
"Wait, I'll go after him now, maybe I can catch up!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran out.
Nan Yan looked at him and for a moment didn't understand who the noble person he was talking about was. She just looked at the happy old woman and wanted to ask, but she still couldn't speak.
I finally felt a little strength in my hands.
She reached out to touch her aching neck, and was stunned to find it was wrapped in gauze.
Only then did he vaguely remember that he was in the sea, and just before he lost consciousness, it seemed that a piece of sharp wood chip flew out and cut his throat!
Am I still alive?
Seeing her frightened expression, the old woman said, "Girl, are you speechless?"
Nan Yan nodded.
The old woman said, "There really is a problem. Let me tell you, my boss went out to sea and rescued you from the sea. He saw that your throat was cut. He asked a doctor to check it out. He said that your life is not in danger, but there may be sequelae. It seems that you will not be able to speak."
Nan Yan was startled.
Can't speak?
Is it temporary or forever?
If it is the latter, then wouldn’t I become a mute?
Unfortunately, the old woman couldn't understand what she was thinking. She just kept on rambling, "Don't worry, girl. It's a good thing you survived. You said there were such strong winds and waves, how could you be out at sea? If my master hadn't been summoned by a nobleman to go out to sea, you would have been taken away by the Dragon King without anyone to save you."
Noble person?
Who is this noble person?
They had been talking about this "noble man" from the beginning. Nan Yan couldn't help but think of the figure in the sunlight that she saw when she opened her eyes...
Could this be what they call a “noble person”?
But that back figure looks so familiar.
Nan Yan was just thinking about it when she saw the old boatman walk in from outside with a frustrated look on his face. The old woman hurriedly asked, "Did you catch up?"
"No," the old boatman sighed, "you are so fast! I chased you to the village entrance, but you didn't even show your shadow."
"this--"
The old woman sighed and said, "It seems that we are not destined to be together."
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at them, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The old woman told the old boatman about her condition. After hearing about it, the old boatman came over and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, your injury will heal. We will find a doctor for you and buy you some medicine. You will definitely get better."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at them for a while and nodded slightly.
Although I still have many doubts in my heart, nothing can be done now because I can't speak.
She probably also guessed that after she fell into the sea, she was rescued by this old boatman and his so-called "noble man", which means that Li Bushang was not with her.
So what about him?
Was there any successful escape?
And Jian Ruocheng, he boarded another ship, but now, he took the things of the ship owner, where can he go back to?
Also, Zhu Feng, how is he?
And be careful...
My body was already weak, and when I thought about these things, I immediately felt dizzy.
Seeing her frail appearance, the old woman hurriedly and gently said, "Girl, don't worry. No matter how big the problem is, we can deal with it after you recover from your injury."
“…”
That's true.
I can't even speak now, what else can I do?
Nan Yan could only nod weakly.
She slowly closed her eyes, but the figure she saw when she just opened her eyes appeared in her mind again, it seemed like... Zhu Feng.
Is it my own illusion?

One day later.
Zhu Xuan, sitting in the study, opened the secret report sent back from the front.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Shi Yiru, who was standing by, immediately asked, "Your Highness, is there any important news?"
“…”
Zhu Xuan didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a long while, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "There's no important news, just one thing - a romantic matter."
"A romantic affair?"
When Shi Yiru heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, but he immediately understood that it couldn't be anything romantic.
He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Xuan said, "The people who went to investigate reported that along the way, my brother rarely left his golden carriage. Even when he arrived in other cities or entered the post station, he rarely showed up. But—"
"But what?"
"However, that Lady Qin who almost became Consort Ning—" Zhu Xuan said, "She cried all day long. At one point, she even seemed to want to leave the imperial carriage and travel alone."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yiru's eyes lit up.
