Chapter 1839 Remember, blood debt must be repaid with blood!
The two soldiers looked at each other, laughed in silence, and said to Nan Yan, "Let's set off. Of course, we must prepare to attack Thermidor."
"Attack Thermidor?"
Nan Yan was shocked when she heard the news and asked hurriedly, "Who gave the order?"
The soldier said in panic, "Of course it's the emperor."
“…”
"Without the Emperor's order, how dare we speak nonsense? This is a military order."
"Then, was it the Emperor who asked you to come and take Li Lai to the military camp?"
"Exactly."
Nan Yan frowned slightly, and at this time, the door had opened and Li Lai walked out.
Of course, there was no need to carry a lot of luggage when going to the military camp. He only brought a set of clothes, which he wrapped in cloth and carried in his hand. Since his foot injury had healed, he no longer needed to walk around with a bamboo stick and could move freely.
As soon as he went out and saw Nan Yan standing at the door, he immediately stepped forward and saluted her: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him and raised her hand: "Get up."
Li Lai then stood up and said with a smile, "Why did the queen come to my place?"
Nan Yan said, "Oh, I came out for a stroll with nothing to do, and happened to walk over to your side. I said I'd come to see you, but I didn't expect you to leave."
Li Lai smiled and said, "This is also a good thing."
“…”
"The Hot Moon Bay bandits are a real nuisance. Eradicating them sooner rather than later would benefit both the nation and the people. Ever since I gave them the map, I've been eagerly anticipating their arrival, and this day has finally arrived."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "You, are worried."
"I dare not."
"Well, since it's the Emperor's order, then you should go quickly. I heard we'll be leaving early tomorrow morning. You—you must lead the way well and serve the Emperor."
"Of course."
After the two men finished talking, the two soldiers were about to take him away.
Nan Yan stood there, watching their backs as they left, and suddenly said, "Li Lai!"
Li Lai stopped and looked back at her: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Nan Yan asked, "Do you have any acquaintances in this mansion? Do you want to go and say goodbye?"
“…”
Li Lai's face flickered slightly.
But immediately, he laughed and said, "How could I have any acquaintances in this Duwei Mansion? Your Majesty, you must be joking."
Nan Yan walked over slowly and said, "Isn't she an acquaintance?"
Li Lai was stunned, and his expression became a little nervous. He looked at Nan Yan and said, "Who are you talking about, Madam?"
Nan Yan said, "Xue Ling, who do you think I'm talking about?"
“……!”
When he heard the name "Xue Ling", Li Lai let out a breath and his heart almost skipped a beat.
But he felt relieved and immediately put on a smile again.
He said to Nan Yan, "Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your concern. However, although Miss Xue and I were rescued from the Hot Moon Crescent by Lord Ye together, we are not very familiar with each other."
"Yeah?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I thought that after spending so many days together, you two would have become familiar with each other."
“…”
"It seems that you don't like to communicate with others."
When Li Lai heard this, his brows slightly frowned, and he felt as if his heart was stabbed by these words, and even his eyes seemed a little dazed.
Nan Yan said, "When people are together, they still have to talk about feelings."
“…”
"You and Miss Xue have been through thick and thin together, and you've lived next to each other in the Duwei Mansion for so long. You should have developed some kind of friendship by now."
“…”
"Don't you ever open your heart to anyone, anywhere you go?"
“…”
"Then, isn't it like living with a mask?"
“…”
"How lonely."
These words made Li Lai's face darken slightly, but he immediately raised his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have heard what you said. However, since the Emperor has ordered me to go to the military camp immediately and join them, I will not delay on these trivial matters."
Nan Yan looked at him for a while.
Then he smiled and said, "Yes, it's important. Go ahead."
"I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he bowed, turned around and left without looking back.
Nan Yan looked at his receding figure with a complicated expression on her face. She said to Ran Xiaoyu behind her, "Do you think this person has never opened his heart to anyone in his life?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Who knows?"
Nan Yan looked for a while until Li Lai's back disappeared in front of her.
She murmured, "If one has never shared a heart with anyone in their entire life, then how barren is that person's life? What fun is there in living like this?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "My Lady, you are worried about everyone."
Nan Yan came to her senses after hearing what she said and smiled. However, just as she was about to walk out, she heard a very light sound coming from the other side. She turned around and saw a door that seemed to be about to close and was swaying slightly in the wind.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me here."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "My Lady, be careful."
"Don't worry."
Nan Yan said this, waved her hand, and walked over directly. She pushed open the half-open door and saw Chu Xin sitting inside. The expression on her face was a little confused and she seemed a little lost.
However, when she heard footsteps and the sound of the door opening, she immediately looked up: "Who is it?"
Nan Yan said: "The original intention is this palace."
Chu Xin hurriedly stood up and saluted her.
Nan Yan reached out and supported her, saying, "Your eyesight isn't working properly, so there's no need to be so polite." As he spoke, he took her hand and helped her sit in a chair. Then he added, "Did you hear just now? The Emperor has already ordered an attack on Thermidor."
"I...I seem to have heard something."
Nan Yan said, "You will soon find your unfaithful lover."
“……!”
Chu Xin's face was confused again.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I have been helping you remember this matter these days."
“…”
"That Jiang Qu treated you like that, he was truly heartless and ruthless."
“…”
"Once you find him, you must not be soft-hearted anymore. You must explain to him all the grievances you've suffered over the years. And remember, blood debt must be repaid with blood!"
“…”
Chu Xin didn't say anything, but Nan Yan clearly felt that her hand trembled slightly in her palm.
She hesitated for a long time before looking up at Nan Yan.
She whispered, "Your Highness, I am so grateful for your concern for me."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Stop saying these polite words."
“…”
"It's just that I sensed something was bothering you lately, so I came to see you today. Do you have anything to say to me?"
