Chapter 679 Princess Tana's Consort
The light could not illuminate his face, and one could only vaguely see that the man was thin and wearing a black cloak that even covered his face.
It was like a person condensed from the night.
As soon as King Beili went out, he said a few words to him.
The man seemed to take a look inside.
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly at this moment, because she seemed to feel that the eyes under the cloak were looking straight at her.
Then, he turned and left.
Nan Yan stood there, still looking at the dark night outside, without any reaction for a long time.
Arslan turned around, looked at her pale face, and said, "Are you okay?"
"ah?"
She seemed to be awakened and looked up at him in a daze.
Arslan asked, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
Nan Yan shook her head and looked outside again. In the darkness, she could no longer even see the man's back.
who is he?
This doubt has been lingering in her heart.
After the King of Beili came and "made trouble", the atmosphere of the banquet became less lively. In addition, the emperor suddenly announced another important identity of the concubine of Yan State, which made many ministers in the court lose their appetite for drinking.
After all, compared to drinking, the sudden appearance of Princess Tana's child and the clues about the possible appearance of the jade seal made them more excited.
So, after a while, the banquet was over.
Nan Yan sat back in her seat, watching the ministers come forward one by one to bid farewell to the emperor, and the deep glances each of them gave her before leaving the hall.
It seems as if they are unwilling to see through themselves all of a sudden.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of me.
"you--"
Nan Yan frowned slightly and raised her head.
The person standing in front of him was none other than Lord Mandu, who had played that extremely boring "joke" before the banquet began.
But this time, there was no trace of joking on his face.
Instead, he looked at himself with deep eyes.
Nan Yan frowned slightly and said, "Sir, is there anything else?"
Mandu frowned, stared at her intently for a long time, and then said, "Are you really Tana's daughter?"
“…”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Everyone, even Arslan and Monk, who were blood relatives of Princess Tana, called her "Princess Tana" when they mentioned her, but Mandu called her by her name.
He is just a foreign minister.
How dare you call the princess by her name?
Just when Nan Yan was confused, Mandu took another step closer to her and said in a heavy voice, "Are you really her daughter?"
“…”
Nan Yan felt that something was wrong with him.
At this moment, a gentle breath approached.
Nan Yan immediately turned around and met Monk's face, which seemed to always be smiling.
He walked over, looked at Nan Yan, then looked at the solemn Lord Mandu, and then said, "Uncle Mandu, as I just said, this matter is still just a guess."
“…”
"Noble Concubine Si herself is not aware of this."
"oh……"
Lord Mandu frowned and looked at Nan Yan again, his eyes seemed to be scanning for something.
It was as if he wanted to find some shadow from her.
After a while, he slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at Monk again, and said, "I have lost my composure."
Monk smiled gently and said, "I understand."
“…”
"Now that the banquet is over, uncle should go back early."
"good."
Mandu nodded, looked at Nanyan again, and then turned and left.
There was an indescribable bitterness in his back.
After watching him walk away, Meng Ke turned to the somewhat puzzled Nan Yan and said, "My Lady, I'm sorry for offending you just now."
Nan Yan looked up at her and said calmly, "No problem."
“…”
"However, Your Majesty, is it okay for you to make your unsure guess public so soon?"
“…”
"What if your guess is wrong?"
Monk smiled and said, "Just now, I didn't think it through well."
“…”
"Please don't mind, Madam."
Judging from his appearance, he is very sincere.
However, Nan Yan remembered how he had been very cautious in everything he said and did before.
He doesn't seem like someone who would act impulsively without thinking.
However, there was no point in arguing about this matter at this time, so she could only shake her head lightly.
At this moment, a voice said: "What are you talking about?"
Nan Yan turned around and saw Arslan and the beautiful woman who had been sitting next to him walking over. Upon seeing her, Monk immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Nuomin is here too."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Mrs. Nomin?
Nan Yan frowned slightly, but Arslan quickly said to her, "This is my mother."
Nan Yan immediately said to the beautiful woman, "Madam."
"My Lady,"
Mrs. Nomin's eyes were shrewd as she looked her up and down. She smiled and said, "The words you just used to scold Ashige were really satisfying."
Nan Yan laughed awkwardly.
After all, the people I was scolding were their relatives.
However, the fact that King Beili and King Nanli were not on good terms had long been no secret. When he scolded King Beili, the people on King Nanli's side were of course overjoyed.
Madam Nuomin laughed again and said, "Your Highness, you have come from afar. Will you be lonely living in the palace?"
"ah?"
Nan Yan was caught off guard. She didn't expect that she would suddenly "care" about her like this again.
She smiled and said, "If you feel bored in the palace, you might as well come to my palace to find me. I can talk and relieve my boredom."
As she spoke, the Nomin Lady looked at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, is this possible?"
Monk smiled and said, "Madam Nuomin asked for it, and I agreed to it."
So everyone laughed and joked for a while, and then Arslan said goodbye to his mother.
Nan Yan and Monk were the last people to leave the hall.
When they walked out of the hall, it was already pitch black all around. Only a few maids were walking in front of them with lanterns. Monk accompanied her to the palace where she lived.
There was silence all around.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
"Who is that Lord Mandu?"
There was a hint of smile in Monk's tone: "He is my loyal minister and the Minister of State Affairs."
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to ask, what is the relationship between him and Princess Tana?"
At this moment, Monk fell silent.
After a while, he said, "He might have been the consort of Princess Tana."
