The Imperial Palace.
Nangong Yan was in a very bad mood these past two days, with a gloomy face every day. No matter whether it was the palace maids and eunuchs serving him or the ministers in the court, they were all frightened by his gloomy face and dared not make a sound. Any slight mistake would result in the risk of severe punishment, so everyone was very cautious these past two days and did not dare to make any mistakes.
The palace was deserted, and Nangong Yan was busy handling government affairs every day. It seemed that everything was the same as before.
But occasionally when he stopped and looked outside, he would always think of Qingli.
Only Qingli did not treat him as the emperor. She called him by his name and had no fear in her eyes. When he was with her, he felt very natural, so natural that he could forget his identity and the responsibilities on his shoulders. He felt very relaxed.
I'm afraid I'll never have that feeling again.
These are the things Nangong Yan thought about after he shifted his thoughts away from the memorial.
Whenever he thought of this, his heart became filled with gloom and he could no longer be happy.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."
The personal eunuch walked over respectfully and carefully and spoke.
Nangong Yan waved his hand and said calmly: "No, let her play by herself and don't disturb me."
The eunuch agreed, looked at the emperor's still gloomy face, did not dare to say a word, and retreated cautiously.
A moment later, Nangong Xiaoyao barged in with a savage tone.
"Brother, why don't you see me? What do you mean? Are you still angry with me?"
After Nangong Biyao woke up that day, Nangong Yan arranged for someone to tell her everything. He himself was too lazy to tell Nangong Biyao, for fear that he would not be able to control himself and want to hit someone.
The brother and sister have not seen each other since that day.
After the curse was lifted from Nangong Dongyao, she was a little dazed. She remembered everything, including her past love for Wen Xu'an, but she didn't feel anything when she thought about it.
If the people arranged by Nangong Yan had not told her about it, even if the spell was lifted, she would not know that she was under the spell. She would only think that she really liked Wen Xu'an in the past, but just didn't like him anymore.
This spell is so powerful that it's scary.
Nangong Yanyao realized it later and became scared. She wanted to get some comfort from her brother, but Nangong Yan didn't see her for two consecutive days.
This time she had to break in.
She vaguely remembered that her brother was very angry that day. Besides that, she seemed to have seen someone who looked like Su Qingyue.
Thinking of Yin Lengdie's words, she had many questions and worries in her mind. She would feel uneasy if she didn't ask clearly.
The eunuch followed behind and said helplessly to Nangong Yan: "Your Majesty, I can't stop Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Nangong Yan waved his hand calmly, "Nothing, go down!"
Nangong Wangyao looked much better, and Nangong Yan looked at her and felt relieved.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you have such a cold face? Did someone make you unhappy?"
Nangong Yao asked with a puzzled look on her face, her expression also somewhat cautious.
Nangong Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "What are you doing here? You have the nerve to come out instead of hiding in your princess's mansion to reflect on yourself. I feel ashamed to have such a stupid sister like you. Don't come out anymore in the future. Stay in your princess's mansion and grow your brain!"
Nangong Yao felt ashamed, embarrassed and angry after hearing what she said.
"Brother, how can you say that about your own sister? If I am stupid, then you, as my brother from the same mother, are not much better."
Nangong Yao puffed up her cheeks and glared at Nangong Yan angrily.
Nangong Yan was in no mood to pay attention to her, and said calmly: "I'm very busy, please go out! Don't disturb me."
Nangong Wangyao hurriedly asked: "Brother Huang, how do you deal with those people from the Wen family?"
Nangong Yao didn't dare to go to the Wen family. She asked her subordinates, but they didn't say anything, so she had to ask Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan said calmly: "What? Did your brain get eaten by that curse? Are you still feeling sorry for the Wen family now?"
Nangong Yao shook his head, "No, I'm just curious and want to know. I'm not a fool, so how can I feel sorry for their family? I was like that before because of that curse. I was affected by the curse. I don't like Wen Xu'an at all. Brother Huang, please believe me."
Nangong Yao hurried to explain.
Nangong Yan remained unmoved, still lowering his head to deal with his memorials, and said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not, and it doesn't matter whether you feel sorry for them or not. I will be punished as I should be, and those people in the Wen family will have their fate as they should. You don't have to worry about these things."
Nangong Yao saw that he looked unhappy and in a bad mood, and thought of Yin Lengdie's words.
She carefully observed Nangong Yan's expression and asked, "Brother, there seemed to be a girl with you that day. Who was that girl?"
"Who lifted my curse? I have to thank them. I can't just leave it like that."
When Nangong Yan thought of Qingli, his eyes became even colder, and his tone also became a bit colder.
"Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. If you have nothing to ask about, just go back by yourself!"
As he spoke, Nangong Yan saw that Zhezi's hands had clenched even tighter, and the paper was wrinkled by him.
Seeing his reaction, Nangong Wangyao was very surprised!
Could it be that her brother's confession really failed? I've never seen him so miserable.
Before Nangong Yao came, she met Yin Lengdie. Yin Lengdie said that she accidentally saw her brother confessing his love to a girl, but was rejected. She also said that the girl was the one who looked like Su Qingyue that they met at the entrance of the poetry club that day.
When Nangong Yao first heard this, she was shocked!
She would never believe that her royal brother would confess his love to a woman. Everyone in the city knew her royal brother's personality. He was not interested in women. Let alone confessing his love, it was impossible for him to even be nice to women.
But Yin Lengdie said it with great confidence, and there was a trace of envy and sadness in her eyes that Nangong Yao couldn't understand.
Yin Lengdie said that if Nangong Yan could become the queen, everyone in the court would be happy. As a friend who grew up together, she also hoped that Nangong Yan could have someone to accompany him.
After hearing these words, Nangong Wangyao could not wait to enter the palace, while Yin Lengdie returned to Pei's house. Before leaving, she reminded Nangong Wangyao to remember to tell her if there was any news, as she hoped she could help.
Although Nangong Xiaoyao didn't understand how she could help, she agreed immediately.
"Brother, are you so sad because you were rejected by the girl you like?"
Nangong Yao directly asked the question in Xiao's heart, staring at Nangong Yan closely.
Nangong Yan looked at her suddenly, surprise flashed in his eyes, then he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice: "Where did you hear this gossip?"
Nangong Yan felt that this was not a glorious thing and did not want anyone to know about it.
I am also curious about how Nangong Yao knew this.
Nangong Xiaoyao's eyes swayed left and right. She was stared at by Nangong Yan's serious eyes. She didn't dare to lie and could only whisper: "I heard it from Xiaodie."
Nangong Yan then remembered that when he left that day, he also saw 깊 Yin Lengdie.
A dark light flashed in his eyes, and his tone became colder, with a hint of mockery, "She knows a lot about my affairs, and always knows it in time."
Nangong Yao nodded in recognition, "Yeah, it seems so."
Nangong Yan looked at his innocent sister and said calmly, "Yao, you didn't take my words that I asked you to stay away from Yin Lengdie to heart, did you?"
Nangong Yao curled her lips, somewhat dissatisfied, but did not dare to say anything.
She had asked before why she should stay away from Yin Lengdie, but Nangong Yan only said that she and Yin Lengdie were not the same kind of people, and did not say anything more. Nangong Yan agreed with him verbally, but actually did not agree in her heart, and still got along well with Yin Lengdie.
Nangong Yan now understood that not letting her know anything was not really for her good. If Qingli hadn't been involved in the Wen family's affairs this time, her life would have been ruined and she would have been controlled by Wen Xu'an forever.
Thinking about it, he said, "Do you know that Yin Lengdie likes me?"
Nangong Yan's words startled Nangong Yao, and she looked at her brother with surprise.
When they were still young, she asked Yin Lengdie whether she liked her royal brother, but Yin Lengdie just smiled and said nothing, and she didn't take it to heart.
Later, her brother ascended the throne and went to war again. Yin Lengdie showed that she was very concerned about her brother and often asked her about her brother, almost every day. At that time, she also asked Yin Lengdie again whether she liked her brother.
Yin Lengdie still didn't say anything and changed the subject with a smile. After that, she never asked again, thinking that since she didn't say anything twice, she must not like it. She just didn't want to say it out loud and make everyone embarrassed, so she kept silent.
After that, Nangong Yao never thought about it again.
It was not until Yin Lengdie got married that she realized that Yin Lengdie liked someone like Pei Yu.
