For some reason, Shen Yanshu felt strange in her heart at such a call. She had never been in love before, so she didn't know if it was love, nor whether it was friendship or love.
If it's the former, she can happily accept having one more friend from the prince, which can be regarded as one more supporter.
If it's the latter...
Shen Yanshu was confused. She shouldn't be emotional, especially not towards Nangong Brownqi.
Although she doesn't know much about this world, she does know a lot. Although Nangong Brownqi is the prince, he is also the general of Nangong Kingdom. He holds 1.2 million troops and most of the power of Nangong Kingdom. They are all in the hands of Nangong Brownqi, so it is not a big deal for Nangong Kingdom to easily dethrone a prime minister in Chaotang Mountain a few days ago. After all, it is just a skin and an empty official position.
Moreover, Nangong Brownqi has a very strong opponent, that is - Nangong Yuyi
Nangong Yuyi was the original candidate for the current emperor. However, when the former emperor was preparing to make Nangong Yuyi the crown prince, Nangong Yuyi was framed and sent abroad. It was not until twelve years later that he was able to redress his injustice not long ago. , but when he came back, Nangong Chifei had already become the emperor.
Intuition tells Shen Yanshu that Nangong Yuyi will not be content with the status quo. If Nangong Yuyi wants to overturn the policy, his strongest opponent will be Nangong Brownqi
Both of them are powerful and intelligent people, so it’s not certain who will win in the end!
As for such a tough opponent, as long as the opponent is negligent for a moment or exposes his or her own weaknesses, the end will be certain death.
Shen Yanshu tried hard to tell herself to stay calm. Her goal was to get the thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum and then leave Nangong Kingdom.
Leaving Nangong Brownqi...
She doesn't want to get involved in a power struggle, let alone worry about history that can't be changed. She just wants to get the Millennium Ganoderma lucidum and leave.
If she really can't go back then, she will follow Tao Yuanming's example and find a beautiful place with mountains and water to live in seclusion.
After all, she does not belong to this world
Shen Yanshu took one last deep look at Nangong Brownqi, got out of bed carefully, found Zi'er and Cheng'er who were guarding outside the door, and took them back to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion quietly...
In fact, Nangong Brownqi had woken up long ago. He had woken up as early as Shen Yanshu woke up, but he didn't want her to know that he was awake.
When she was in his arms, he could feel that she was hesitating, sighing, or hesitating. He didn't want to interfere with her thoughts, and it might be a good thing to let her think clearly.
However, the empty embrace and her silent departure made the loss in his heart seem like a long gash that could never be healed.
This kind of pain was more painful than the large and small wounds on his body. It only took one time for him to be defeated and completely collapsed. This feeling was so strange, as if he was a vulnerable puppet.
It's just that at this time, he wanted to retain a trace of dignity, and didn't want to dig out his truest thoughts, nor did he want to know the source of this idea. He told himself that it was not as bad as he imagined.
Maybe he really loves her, maybe she loves him too, but there are still many concerns between them, such as her purpose of entering the palace, and his mission.
