When the emperor spoke, things would naturally be done quickly.

In the evening of that day, Gao Yurong was taken by several eunuchs and two nannies to the bedroom.

When she walked in, the sunset shone on the ground at the gate, as if a flame was ignited.

Gao Yurong was wearing a white dress.

When shining by the afterglow of the sunset, it also seemed like a fire burning.

But her face was particularly pale, so pale that it was almost transparent, like ice.

She walked in and looked around, then saw Nanyan sitting upright on the chair there, and the nanny behind her pushed her.

She staggered two steps and walked in front of Nanyan.

Kneel down.

"The sinful woman Gao Yurong, pay homage to the concubine."

"You, get up."

She slowly stood up, held her hands together and took a step back, as if she tried to curl up her body and stood there.

But he looked up carefully and glanced at Nanyan.

When he met Nanyan, he also looked at her eyes.

Her heart shook slightly and she immediately lowered her head.

Nan Yan was still looking at her and said calmly: "You just looked at me, and it seemed to have a different meaning."

“…”

"what's on your mind?"

Gao Yurong was silent for a moment before saying, "The sinner is thinking about the situation when he first met the Empress."

“…”

When Nan Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Thinking back, I remembered it.

At that time, he was still a slave beside Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng had not ascended the throne at that time, and he still lived in the palace as King Yan. At that time, he followed him to the Jian family to persuade Jian Tongguang and asked him to agree to join the court.

When I returned to the palace, I saw several concubines and concubines from the Yan Prince's Mansion.

That was their first meeting.

It has been five or six years since Nan Yan almost forgot about this matter, but he did not expect that Gao Yurong would suddenly mention this.

She said, "Why do you think of this?"

Gao Yurong stood there, with a faint smile on her pale face.

He whispered: "The sinner was just thinking, if only he could know everything now at that time."

Nanyan glanced at her.

He said: "I know, what will happen?"

Gao Yurong smiled bitterly and said, "If the sinner woman could know at that time, was the King of Yan. The little woman who followed the King of Yan could reach this point today, and the sinner woman would never dare to go against the Empress."

“…”

"As a matter of fact, no one who fights with the Empress in this palace will have good results."

This made Nan Yan listen to this and it was a little harsh.

But she looked at Gao Yurong and saw that the latter had no intention of sarcasm to her. She was just saying this matter, as if she was feeling worried.

She also feels sad.

I don’t know how many people in the harem value the word “dou” more seriously than anything else.

As long as you fight others and win something, you will be complacent and think you have the power.

Little do they know that they have long become other people's targets.

Nan Yan reached out to the table beside him with one hand, gently fiddled with the cover of the tea bowl, and said, "You are wrong."

"oh?"

Gao Yurong looked at her in confusion.

Nan Yan said: "It's not that the people who fight with me will not have a good time, but... the people who come to fight with me will not have a good time."

“…”

"I never thought of fighting with people, nor would I take the initiative to fight with people."

“…”

"But if the kicking iron plate is damaged, that's their own business."

“…”

"In my life, I don't want to be an invincible spear, I just want to be an indestructible shield to protect myself and the people I want to protect. The others are not within my consideration."

“…”

Gao Yurong opened her eyes wide and listened to her words in surprise.

After being silent for a long time, a hint of understanding and relief flashed in his eyes.

She smiled faintly.

He said: "It turns out that from beginning to end, we are all seeking troubles."

Nan Yan said: "Amnesty arises from the mind, and ordinary people often take it themselves."

“…”

"Think less and you'll be purified."

"Think less, you'll be purified..."

Hearing this sentence, Gao Yurong's expression slightly condensed, and she sang it softly again, thinking about something.

“…”

Nanyan looked at her.

I felt Gao Yurong's expression seemed a little dazed. Under the reflection of the sunset, there was even a little... as if it was something relieved.

She didn't quite understand, but at this time, Gao Yurong, who had just been curled up, relaxed a little.

That kind of change is very subtle.

It seems that it is only a thought in my heart.

But it has nothing to do with her.

Nan Yan said: "Okay, actually, I have something to ask you this time."

"Well?"

Gao Yurong raised her head when she heard this.

Of course she knew that the imperial concubine must have something to ask herself, otherwise she would not have been called out for no reason.

So he said, "Empress has anything to ask."

Nan Yan pondered for a while before saying, "At the beginning, Wu once gave a gift to our palace for a Guanyin."

"Um?"

Gao Yurong frowned slightly, as if she had no impression.

Seeing her like this, Nan Yan's heart chilled.

But he said: "It was when I was at the beginning, when I was at peace with my heart. At that time, the emperor had not moved the capital, and I happened to stay in the Yan Prince's Mansion."

“…”

"At that time, Wu Wan was demoted, but was restored again."

“…”

"She came to Peking to thank him, and the queen asked her to bring a gift from Guanyin to give it to me."

Speaking of this, Gao Yurong finally remembered it.

He said, "This, the sinner remembered, it is indeed true."

Judging from her appearance, she was also very calm and had no expression to hide.

Nanyan's mood became a little heavier.

He said, "Then, do you still remember whether Wu had any trouble in the Guanyin giving birth to his son."

"ah?"

At this moment, Gao Yurong was stunned.
