Chapter 203 Are They Chasing You?

Nana...

Uh, Xu Yanyi remembered that the original owner’s nickname was indeed Nana.

But it has been a long time since I heard Mu Nanzhou call me like this.

But this is not the point. The point is what Mu Nanzhou meant when he said if he was not King Nanling?

Xu Yanyi looked up at Mu Nanzhou, her pupils shrinking: "What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Mu Nanzhou seemed to remember something. He turned his head away, leaned back, and fell directly on Xu Yanyi's bed with his eyes closed, as if he was drunk to death, or as if what he had just said had nothing to do with him, but he just spoke out of turn after drinking.

However, Xu Yanyi remembered that Mu Nanzhou's expression just now was calm but also contained a bit of loneliness and inexplicable tension.

This is not the kind of emotion a drunk person would have.

But now...

Xu Yanyi moved closer and could hear Mu Nanzhou's even voices and the strong smell of alcohol.

"Hey, are you dead drunk?"

Xu Yanyi reached out and patted his face, then pinched his nose. Mu Nanzhou closed his eyes and impatiently raised his hand to push her hand away, muttering, "Go away! Don't disturb me!"

My goodness, it feels like I'm really drunk again, even my voice is nasal.

So was that just a moment of clarity?

Xu Yanyi frowned.

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Yanyi came back to her senses, turned around and opened the door. Outside was Eunuch Zhang who was beside the emperor.

"Princess, I heard that Prince Nanling is here with you, so I came to invite him to court. It's time now."

Eunuch Zhang was a little puzzled. Mu Nanzhou, who never missed a court session, was clearly in the palace today, so why didn't he come to court? All the civil and military officials, the empress dowager and the emperor were waiting anxiously, and the Grand Tutor had been acting weird for quite some time.

Xu Yanyi leaned aside and pointed at Mu Nanzhou who was lying unconscious on the bed: "Look, he's over there. I don't know what's wrong with him so he's drunk this early in the morning. Go in and give him a couple of slaps to see if he can sober up. If that doesn't work, you can push his head into the water or kick him a few times, that might work."

The corner of Zhang Gonggong's mouth twitched: "This, this is not good, right?"

"What's wrong with that? Aren't you here to ask him to attend court? Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Go ahead. This princess is optimistic about you."

Xu Yanyi smiled slightly, but Eunuch Zhang felt that Xu Yanyi's smile was a little bit creepy.

Eunuch Zhang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said awkwardly, "Princess, you are joking. I will report that the prince has caught a cold and is bedridden. The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the ministers will understand."

Having said that, Eunuch Zhang quickly retreated.

Xu Yanyi snorted softly, stretched her waist, picked up the painting that had been rolled up last night in the room, put it on her back, and walked out without looking back.

"Princess, where are you going?"

The maid quickly stepped forward and followed her. She couldn't help but look back at Mu Nanzhou, who was still sleeping in the room, and who had lost his composure in front of everyone for the first time in his life. She couldn't help but ask, "What should the prince do?"

"He's just drunk, he won't die, why should I be nervous?" Xu Yanyi said as she walked. Anyway, she came to the palace just to get the painting. Now that she got it, of course she had to leave, at least to her new princess residence to put the things away.

The maid was choked by Xu Yanyi's words: "But if the prince wakes up and can't see you..."

Mu Nanzhou was so drunk just now, but he still held Xu Yanyi's thigh and refused to let go. Doesn't this fully prove that everyone's guess is correct, that Mu Nanzhou still has a deep friendship for Xu Yanyi, and didn't Xu Yanyi divorce her husband for the sake of the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the fortune of Bei Qin? Then shouldn't Xu Yanyi stay by Mu Nanzhou's side at this time?

But before the maid could finish her words, Xu Yanyi interrupted her: "He will be happier if he can't see me. Okay, no need to send me off. I know the way."

After saying this, Xu Yanyi ran quickly towards the palace gate.

After leaving the palace, Xu Yanyi actually found Xiaoyu waiting at the palace gate.

Xu Yanyi's heart tensed up and she hurried forward: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

Shouldn't she go to the inn? Will Sister Wang take good care of her?

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed: "Princess, no, I should call you the eldest princess. Princess, someone came from the palace last night to tell us to pack our things and go to the new princess's mansion. I have already arranged for them to clean and decorate, but I was afraid that the eldest princess would go back to the inn for nothing, so I came to wait outside the palace."

"Has someone already arranged the Princess's residence?"

Xu Yanyi narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the Queen Mother not only had a great time last night, but also took the time to arrange for people to do things in advance.

Not bad, not bad.

The child is teachable.

Xiaoyu waved her hand, and the carriage slowly drove over: "Princess, please get in."

Xu Yanyi nodded, and as soon as she got on the carriage, she found that Master Yue was actually sitting in the carriage. She was stunned and blurted out something, and Master Yue put his hand to his mouth and made a gesture of silencing her.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Xiaoyu, who was giving instructions to the coachman, turned around.

Xu Yanyi said calmly: "Nothing, let's go."

She jumped onto the carriage swiftly, stretched out her hand to close the curtain, then looked at Master Yue who was wearing a mask, and whispered: "My benefactor, what tricks are you playing?"

She hid in her carriage for no apparent reason and was not allowed to make a sound.

Master Yue has always done things in an open and aboveboard manner; this is indeed not like his style.

"It's just a good opportunity for me to hide for a while."

Master Yue raised his chin.

Xu Yanyi lifted the curtain a little, and just in time saw another luxurious carriage coming quickly from the other side and stopping at the palace gate. The people getting off were none other than Qingyi County Master and Lin Mengyan.

Good fellow.

Neither of them is a good person.

"Are they after you?"

Xu Yanyi curled her lips in a wicked smile.

Master Yue seemed to be in a dilemma. He was silent for a moment before speaking: "I ran into them just as I returned to the city this morning. The Lord of Qingyi County insisted on borrowing my carriage to go back to the palace, and she also wanted to take Lin Mengyan with her, saying that the Queen Mother had a secret decree. However, they were too noisy along the way, and I just felt a headache.

Seeing that we were almost there, and seeing your Xiaoyu waiting at the door, I knew that she must be waiting for you to come out, so I made an excuse to get off the car to buy some things and slipped into your carriage so that I could have peace and quiet. "

"What a poor child." Xu Yanyi handed over a soft pillow beside her. "Since you are in my carriage, why don't you go to my new princess's mansion and have a glass of Qiaoqian wine to celebrate me? How about that?"

Master Yue was slightly stunned: "You have a new princess's mansion? So, you really won't return to Nanling Palace anymore?"
