Under the same moonlight, Nan Yan raised his head and looked at the dark sky. After a while, he let out a long sigh.

As soon as I finished sighing, I immediately heard the complaints behind me.

"The Empress is causing trouble for herself again?"

It was Ran Xiaoyu's voice. As she spoke, a piece of clothing had already covered her shoulders.

This camp seemed to be full of bonfires, and she didn't feel very cold, but putting on a piece of clothing made her feel much warmer.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Why did you get up too?"

Ran Xiaoyu said angrily: "Can you not get up?"

Because she was camping outside at night, she slept beside Nan Yan, but she was sleeping in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw that the people around her were gone.

She was so scared that her soul and seven spirits were about to fly.

Fortunately, when she turned around, she saw Nanyan standing here, looking at the camp and the starry sky above her head in a daze. Although she was angry, she immediately picked up a piece of clothes.

He said resentfully: "Don't sleep so late and stand here to have a breather. Isn't the Empress planning to take care of her body?"

Nan Yan said: "You can't sleep."

“…”

"That's why I came out for a walk. Besides, there are people around here, what are you worried about?"

"snort!"

Ran Xiaoyu was still angry, but she cared about helping Nanyan to keep her clothes from being blown by the wind.

The two of them stayed quietly for a while, and Ran Xiaoyu still looked back at Nanyan. Although Nanyan was joking with her, there was not much smile in her eyes, and it was not as relaxed and happy as she usually smiled.

She thought for a while and asked softly: "Is the Empress who doesn't sleep so late, is she worried about the Emperor?"

“…”

Nan Yan didn't answer this immediately, but turned to look at the dirt city with a tall outline in the night, with no movement inside.

She whispered, "I don't know how he's inside."

“…”

"I agreed to come out after exploring it."

Ran Xiaoyu said: "It takes more than half a day to run back and forth for such a big city, not to mention that the emperor didn't just run it in one lap."

"……Um."

"Besides, he has so many people around him. You don't have to worry about Yingshao and his team alone. Don't worry about it."

"You are really getting more and more unruly, saying I'm worried."

"Isn't it?"

"you"

Nan Yan was angry and funny, and reached out and twisted Ran Xiaoyu's arm.

However, when the two of them laughed and made her feel much happier than before.

She whispered: "I just find it strange."

Ran Xiaoyu looked at her with wide eyes: "What's strange?"

Nan Yan looked around and except for the patrolmen, everyone else had already slept. After all, after midnight, everyone was tired for a day and could no longer hold on.

A servant guarding the bonfire heard their voices and walked over carefully: "Empress, what do you want to eat?"

Nanyan shook his head and said, "You go back, I don't want anything."

"yes."

The man carefully retreated.

Nan Yan said, "Let's go over there and have a walk."

Ran Xiaoyu thought for a while, then went over to take a torch and helped her slowly walk aside.

The road here is quite flat, but there are many raised soil slopes and sand and gravel columns on the wasteland, which are naturally formed after wind and sunlight. Under the reflection of the fire, it gives people a sense of magic.

Nanyan took her slowly and walked away from the camp.

While walking, he said, "I'm just a little worried about Xue Yun."

Ran Xiaoyu's face suddenly sank.

Still Xue Yun.

She didn't understand Nan Yan's worries, or, since she met Xue Yun again at the Lianxin Guild Hall, she was more wary of Xue Yun than anyone else.

She said, "What is the Empress worried about her?"

Nan Yan was silent for a while and said, "I don't understand why she must follow her?"

“…”

"Realistically speaking, she shouldn't be curious about this place. Her mind and personality shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to hunt for curiosity."

“…”

"Why did she have to follow her?"

Ran Xiaoyu said with a straight face: "Empress, why should she follow the emperor and go in."

She emphasized the words in the middle, like stones, falling heavily on Nanyan's heart one by one.

She looked back at Ran Xiaoyu.

He smiled and said, "You just don't like her so much?"

"It doesn't matter if you like her."

“…”

"I just feel uneasy, just think that she is uneasy."

Nan Yan said: "I have given the handkerchief to the emperor and asked the emperor to return it to her."

“…”

"I'll pay it back, it's fine."

Ran Xiaoyu shook her head stubbornly and said, "Even if the emperor returns that handkerchief, I am still worried."

“…”

"I always feel that something is going to happen."

Nan Yan was silent for a while and just smiled.

Then he said, "You are too cautious. She has never done anything. She has helped me solve the problem of Malizi, but you have always been guarding her as if you were thieves."

Ran Xiaoyu said: "Someone is a thief for thousands of years, and some are a thief for thousands of years."

“…”

"I'll be on guard against her!"

"But she may not be a thief."

"The Empress said it may not be, but she cannot be sure she is not." Speaking of this, she looked at Nan Yan, and instead blamed her, saying, "How can the Empress be sure that she is not a thief."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I can't be sure."

“…”

"But I, willing to believe it."

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu frowned, and Nan Yan said, "Xiaoyu, do you still remember Xia Yunting?"

Ran Xiaoyu nodded.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "At that time, I found that she was calculating us behind the scenes. I said that although she disappointed me, I am still willing to believe that there are many good people in this world and few bad people."

“…”

“I will not be disappointed in human nature.”

“…”

"So, I will not treat every woman close to me as a bad person. Because when I use malicious intentions to guess everyone, it doesn't matter whether the other person is good or bad, but I am already a person full of malicious and narrow-minded."

“…”

"I hope you don't be narrow-minded."

Ran Xiaoyu seemed to be deeply touched when she heard her words.

She said softly: "I understand."

At this time, a gust of wind blew, which just blew out the torch in Ran Xiaoyu's hand, and the eyes suddenly became pitch black.

Nan Yan said: "Hurry back and light it, and then bring me some water."

Ran Xiaoyu said, "Where are you, Empress?"

"I'm waiting for you here, go quickly."

Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and could only tell her not to move while standing, and turned around and ran back quickly.

Just as Ran Xiaoyu ran away, Nan Yan suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind the stone pillar behind him.

It's the sound of human footsteps!

She felt a thrill in her heart and immediately turned her head: "Who!?"
