At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears: "What are the empress thinking?"

"ah!"

Nan Yan immediately came to his senses and turned to see that it was the middle-aged man named Li Lai who walked to his window at some point and was saluting him.

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

Zhu Fengke asked this sentence, Ran Xiaoyu asked, and even the people who served by him could ask.

But how could he, a commoner who was rescued from the bandit's nest by Ye Zheng, come to ask what he was thinking?

This can be called an extermination.

Nan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You ask me?"

"yes."

Li Lai seemed to have no idea that he was a little angry, or that touched the concubine, and said with a smile: "Caomin passed by here and saw the empress looking at the clouds in the sky, thinking about it. I wonder if there was any trouble. Caomin can do his best."

“…”

Nanyan looked at him for a while.

Then he smiled: "You have the intention."

“…”

"However, how can I tell that I am worried when I look at the clouds in the sky?"

“…”

"Maybe, I just think the weather is good."

"this"

Li Lai also turned his head and looked at the horizon, then smiled and said, "The grass-roots are brave, Imperial Concubine, this weather is not good."

"What?"

When Nan Yan heard this, she frowned slightly.

Li Lai pointed to the slight red light on the horizon and said, "In the northwest, such sky light indicates that there is a big sandstorm about to come. When the sandstorm comes, it covers the sky and the sun, and people can't even breathe."

"oh?"

Nan Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

She was not familiar with the celestial phenomena and the climate in the northwest. She just looked at the sky full of clouds, especially the sky was burning clouds, and she thought the weather was pretty good. Who knew it was a sign of a big sandstorm?

but

This Li Lai is here to tell him this?

Nan Yan looked at him and found that although this person was middle-aged, with dark and rough skin, his facial features were still very fair. I thought he could be considered a handsome man when he was young. Moreover, in addition to asking him what he was thinking, he spoke very politely.

Nan Yan thought for a while, then said with a smile: "You are intent."

"The Empress is a miserable."

"You said before that you are in business."

"yes."

“What business do?”

"raw silk."

"Where is my hometown?"

"Yunnan."

"Born in Yunnan, I'm now running to the northwest, so I can run far enough."

Li Lai smiled and said, "No one can get up early without profit. Now the emperor has opened the gates of the northwest and can trade with the Western Regions. The silk business is the most prosperous, so how can you be lazy?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "This is reasonable. However, you may not have any benefits for this trip."

Li Lai sighed and said, "This trip is naturally a waste of money."

"Then, do business?"

"Of course it's done."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Seeing what the Empress said, how can you stop eating because of choking?"

"That's true, you're right."

The two of them chatted for a while, and Li Lai lived with a crutch at the door. He seemed a little tired at this time, so he said carefully: "If the Empress has no orders, Caomin will take his leave first."

"You go."

"yes."

After saying that, he turned around and left slowly.

Nan Yan looked at his back, especially at his limping steps, his eyebrows frowned slightly. At this moment, a familiar voice came from beside him, saying, "Empress."

When I turned around, I saw that it was Ran Xiaoyu.

She walked over with a tray in her hand, and a bowl of hot soup was placed in the tray.

"Xiaoyu, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a long time. I saw the Empress talking to that person, so I didn't come."

Xiaoyu said as she walked into the house, put the tray on the table, served the hot soup to Nanyan's hands, and said, "Why did the Empress call him over?"

"How could I call him? He said he was passing by."

"Passing by, passing by here?"

Ran Xiaoyu frowned.

But Nanyan only smiled faintly.

Ran Xiaoyu said again: "Then, what did he say to the Empress?"

"When it comes to weather, he said there may be big sandstorms in the past two days."

"Really or not?"

"I'll know then,"

Nan Yan said, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, saying, "It's true or false, it can always be confirmed."

"What are you talking to him after a long time?"

"I am asking about his origin."

"Then he"

"He said he came from Yunnan and did silk business, and it sounded like nothing flawed, and his accent was indeed the one there."

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu stopped, didn't speak immediately, and was only silent for a while.

Then he said, "There are only two outsiders in the entire Duwei Mansion. If he has no problems, then the one with problems is probably the other."

“…”

Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.

Of course she knew that no matter what aspect, Ran Xiaoyu would not like Xue Ling, especially in this situation, she had to use her full mind to beware of the girl.

So I didn't say much.

He said lightly: "I said it is true or false, and it can always be confirmed."

“…”

"You don't have to be anxious."

"yes."

While speaking, Nan Yan lowered his head again, looked at the bowl of hot soup that Ran Xiaoyu brought to him, and frowned slightly.

Generally, when you deliver things in the kitchen, you will be aware of the taste of the medicine you send. Moreover, because of your own body, you are very familiar with the taste of the medicine you send.

But this bowl of soup tastes a bit strange.

It doesn't seem to make people have any appetite.

So he said, "What's this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.

Because Ran Xiaoyu's face darkened.

Nan Yan suddenly felt a little weaker and said softly: "This, this is it."

Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Is it so unpleasant, so unpleasant?"
