Chapter 254 Is she... being teased?
The King of Nanling in front of him was undoubtedly Mu Nanzhou, but for some reason, Xu Yanyi felt something was wrong when she looked at him.
It’s still the same face, but it’s more refined than before. Even the temperament seems to be more otherworldly. How should I put it... It’s like the one I saw before was also beautiful, but it was a high imitation. Now this is the real thing.
right.
Xu Yanyi had this feeling before, and it was the person she saw when she accidentally went to Wuyi Palace last time.
At that time, Xu Yanyi only took a quick glance and thought she was seeing things, but that look was indeed too stunning and it was engraved in her mind. She didn't expect to see it again today.
“You…you…”
Xu Yanyi was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Mu Nanzhou curled his lips and glanced at the stunned Taifu and others calmly. His voice was like the gurgling of water, and seemed to be more... pleasant than before: "Where did you hear the rumor that slandered this king, Taifu?"
The Grand Tutor choked and took a long time to react: "Prince Nanling, you..."
Mu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, Master, do you not recognize me? Do you need someone to examine me?"
"Your Highness is joking."
The Grand Tutor quickly knelt down on one knee, "How could I not recognize you? It's just... it's just that the prince is so beautiful that I was... ahem, surprised for a moment..."
The rest of the people brought by the Grand Tutor also nodded.
"Yeah, why do I feel like the prince is more handsome?"
"The prince is always good-looking, what are you talking about!"
"It has always been beautiful, but... it suddenly looks much better now."
"Yes, yes, yes, do you have that feeling? I had the same feeling when I looked at Prince Nanling many years ago. He was like an immortal. Later... it's not that he didn't look good, but he wasn't as exquisite. Now suddenly that feeling comes back again?"
"Well, now that you mention it, it seems to be the same as it was a few years ago."
Although these people spoke in low voices, every word they said reached Xu Yanyi's ears.
She frowned. If it was the same person, why did he give people such different feelings?
Mu Nanzhou ignored the noises. His every move was noble, and the purple clothes he wore made him look even more elegant. "Taifu, why are you so surprised? If you doubt my identity, you can come and verify it."
These words were said openly, making it seem that the Grand Master and others had ulterior motives.
The Grand Tutor swallowed his saliva. It was obvious that he was unwilling to accept the result and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "Prince Nanling is joking. Rumors are just rumors. The moment I saw you, they were naturally refuted. I also hurried here because I believed the rumors. I wanted to lend a helping hand to you. Now that I see that you are fine, I feel relieved.
I will go back to the palace to report to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, but since the rumor has already spread, the Queen Mother and the Emperor must be very worried in the palace. Why don't you come with me to the palace and explain the situation to the Emperor and the Queen Mother in person?"
Mu Nanzhou nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xu Yanyi who was sizing him up thoughtfully: "Princess, how about you come with me into the palace?"
Uh, is Mu Nanzhou asking for her opinion?
Xu Yanyi just felt very flattered. When had Mu Nanzhou ever been so polite?
Is this still Mu Nanzhou?
Before, Mu Nanzhou would never be so polite even in front of others. He couldn't pretend at all. He was full of disgust towards her. Is that gentleness in his eyes now?
Or was she seeing things?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Nanzhou spoke gently: "Princess, are you okay?"
Good fellow.
Did Mu Nanzhou... change his route, or change himself?
Xu Yanyi responded: "Of course there is no problem entering the palace."
"That's good. Since the Grand Tutor is here, we can go to the palace together."
Mu Nanzhou smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to be filled with stars and sunshine, and was very warm.
Xu Yanyi was stunned, looking at Mu Nanzhou with a questioning look as he stretched out his hand to her: "Let's go."
“…”
The corners of Xu Yanyi's mouth twitched. My goodness, do you want to hold hands?
Before Xu Yanyi could figure out what was going on, Mu Nanzhou's big hand had already held her hand. He only used a little force and Xu Yanyi was pulled into his arms. He gently held Xu Yanyi in his arms and walked forward.
This scene simply stunned everyone.
Even the Grand Tutor's eyes widened: "When did Prince Nanling and the Princess become so close?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Xu Yanyi and Mu Nanzhou got on the carriage. When the carriage slowly moved forward and the curtain was lowered, Xu Yanyi stared at Mu Nanzhou and asked directly: "Are you sure you are Mu Nanzhou?"
"If this is not me, then who is?"
Mu Nanzhou leaned to one side. A breeze blew in from outside, lifting a corner of the curtain. The sunlight poured in and fell on him, as if he was inlaid with a golden edge, making him look more like a god descending from heaven.
Depend on.
Why didn’t I have this feeling when I watched Mu Nanzhou before?
Xu Yanyi couldn't help but move closer and reached out to touch his exquisite face: "It's this face, yes, but... why do I feel that the feeling you give people now is different from before?"
"How is it not similar?"
Mu Nanzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "I have always been myself. Not someone else."
"Really? You..." Xu Yanyi's eyes darkened, and she suddenly asked, "Weren't you injured just now? You were covered in blood. You are not injured now, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Yanyi had already taken action and directly tore off Mu Nanzhou's clothes. Mu Nanzhou was tied with thick gauze, which smelled faintly of medicine. However, he had applied some ambergris powder on the outside of the gauze, using the smell of the powder to cover up the injuries on his body.
"The wound is still there. If Princess still has doubts, you can untie the gauze on my body and take a look at the wound, okay?"
Mu Nanzhou suddenly grabbed Xu Yanyi's hand and pressed her hand on the gauze.
As long as Xu Yanyi moved her hand, the gauze would be torn apart.
"No, no, I just think it's weird, I don't mean to kill you."
Xu Yanyi pulled her hand back, still very puzzled, "What about Master Yue? He went in with you, why didn't he come out?"
"I had something for him to do, and he left through the back window. Why, you want to see him?"
Mu Nanzhou looked at her calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Good fellow.
Xu Yanyi's eyebrows jumped: "You, you make me feel strange and familiar..."
"So do you like this or that?"
Mu Nanzhou pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and reached out to pinch her cheek.
Xu Yanyi inexplicably felt as if she was being teased, and had a bit of a dizzy illusion.
