371. Chapter 371 If you lose, I will accompany you everywhere
"If one day I lose to Shangguancheng, will you stand on my side?"
For the first time, Nangong Shuo raised this issue so directly in front of Shangguan Yu, and also faced the conflict between him and Guan Cheng that it was either you or me who would die.
Shangguan Yu's body was trembling a little. She didn't expect that Nangong Shuo would ask such a direct question. She frowned in silence for a moment, then slowly raised her head from his arms.
"If you win, I will accompany you to rule the world. If you lose, I will accompany you to the world."
This was the answer she gave him, even though she knew there would never be such a day.
No matter who wins or loses, she will not be the one to accompany her.
If Nangong Shuo wins, her whole family will be executed. As the daughter of Shangguancheng, how can she be spared? Even if he doesn't want to, a group of people will force him to kill her.
If Shangguan City is victorious, the entire Nangong family will not have a chance to survive.
Therefore, her answer is nothing but the most perfect and the result she hopes for most.
Because of her answer, Nangong Shuo was stirred up in his heart.
He looked at the girl in front of him, the girl he had been trying to avoid and avoid getting involved with, but these words pierced his heart deeply.
If you win, I will accompany you to rule the world; if you lose, I will accompany you to be at home all over the world...
He looked at the girl in front of him with tender eyes, and his heart went back and forth a thousand times.
"Is it really okay?"
"I think so."
She gave him a shallow smile, knowing that such an answer was too self-deceiving.
They looked at each other, with less avoidance than before, and a faint smile appeared on their faces, even if it was just a brief moment of relaxation.
"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"
At this moment, a joyful voice unexpectedly broke in behind them.
Such an intrusion interrupted the short-term happiness between the two of them, causing Nangong Shuo's eyes to quickly become stained with a thin layer of ice, and his eyes darkened, revealing a strong look of sullenness.
At the same time, because of the intrusion of such a voice, Shangguan Yu and Nangong Shuo also distanced themselves a little.
Turning around, she saw standing behind her none other than Concubine Xia Shu, who was causing trouble in her Zhengyang Palace yesterday.
Shangguan Yu smiled coldly in his heart. She really had many love rivals. Wang Lin had restrained herself recently. This new Concubine Xia Shu was quite high-profile.
Nangong Shuo raised his eyes and looked at the strange woman in front of him who claimed to be his concubine, and the unhappiness in his heart did not diminish.
Just by looking at her dress and name, he could guess that this was probably one of the three women that the Dowager Princess had just chosen for him.
"Get up."
His plain voice revealed a touch of coolness and alienation, completely different from the rich tenderness when facing Shangguan Yu.
After leaving these words, he took Shangguan Yu's hand and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, I have not seen you since I entered the palace for several days. Today I finally got to see you. Are you going to leave?"
Concubine Xia Shu was obviously more proactive than Shangguan Yu imagined. The twinkling look in her eyes clearly showed that she fell in love with Nangong Shuo at first sight.
Her eyes, intertwined with the light of admiration, looked deeply at Nangong Shuo, but what she got was Nangong Shuo's cold response.
He didn't even look at Xia Shuting, but just held Shangguan Yu's hand tightly and said, "Don't you see that I am chatting with the queen now?"
He showed no hidden impatience and did not give Xia Shuting any dignity or patience, causing Xia Shuting's expression to suddenly change.
