Chapter 138 How can you thank me then?
"What do you mean by spare your life? I don't understand."
“…”
"I just came here to know who gave you that bracelet."
Nan Yan looked up at her. In the darkness, both of their eyes were shining, and Nan Yan felt as if the pressure in her chest had dissipated at that moment. She said softly, "The origin of that bracelet—I don't want to tell you. If I must tell you, I will only tell you in front of Her Majesty the Queen."
“…”
"But by then, I'm afraid the Queen will have to investigate again to find out who has the bracelet that was stolen from Shou'an Palace."
Gao Yurong's eyes sharpened: "You, you dare to threaten me?"
"I dare not," Nan Yan stood up. Because her face hurt and she felt a little weak, she reached out to hold on to the bedpost to steady herself, so as not to look so weak. Then she said calmly, "It's just that at this point, there is no other way."
“…”
"In order to survive, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
“…”
"Empress An, why would you waste your wealth and status on this servant?"
“…”
Gao Yurong was a little shocked by her.
They originally thought that she was just a slave, like mud under their feet, which they could knead at will. However, she was a little surprised that she dared to say those words to the Empress in Shou'an Palace yesterday. In the afternoon, Concubine Kang Wu Wan returned to Chonghua Palace and was furious again, saying that she was unable to control this slave.
Only now did she begin to understand that she had kicked a piece of steel.
Of course, this kind of situation has happened before. In the past in Peking, there were many beautiful women sent to the Prince of Yan's Mansion by dignitaries. They were all quite capable, and they dealt with them all.
Actually, it's not impossible to kill her.
However, if she didn't explain the origin of the coral bead bracelet, she wouldn't be able to figure out who was behind her.
She and Wu Wan were able to deal with those people before because King Yan didn't care at all, but what if, what if her coral bead bracelet was also a gift from the emperor -
The two of them stood in silence in the darkness for a long time. Gao Yurong finally spoke first, saying, "What if the bracelet stolen from Shou'an Palace returned to Concubine Xia's hands?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Then, God has mercy on me, and I won't have to bear the name of a thief."
"Then how will you thank me?"
“…”
Nan Yan was quiet for a moment.
This was originally a very ordinary question, but after hearing it, she felt a cool breeze suddenly blowing in from outside the door, making her shiver slightly.
She thought for a moment, then said seriously, "From the beginning to the end, this matter has nothing to do with Concubine An. I really don't know what I should thank Concubine An for."
“…”
This time, it was Gao Yurong's turn to remain silent.
In the darkness, she slowly took a step forward, looked into Nan Yan's bright eyes, and after a long while, she said, "Okay, I like dealing with smart people."
“…”
"Everything should be just as you said."
After saying that, she turned and walked out. After a while, she saw Xiu'er holding the lantern. The dim light illuminated the figures of two people as they quickly left the desolate little yard.
Nan Yan stood in the middle of the room and breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, when she looked up outside, the dark sky was like a haze, covering her eyes and her heart.
Can I get through tomorrow smoothly?
