Nangong Yu seemed to have forgotten what he confessed to her that day, and said in a relaxed tone, "I am here to bring you good news."
Hearing this, Zhenliang's eyes brightened, and his heart surged as he asked, "Is it about Silver Leaf?"
Nangong Yu nodded without any concealment, "Well, she left in a hurry. Please ask me to apologize to you and please don't worry about her. She is fine."
The stone that had been blocking Zhenliang's heart finally disappeared. Because he was too excited, he grabbed the skirt of Nangong Yu's chest with both hands and asked with concern, "Tell me, where did she go? Who took her away?
?Is it you, the Third Prince?"
She now somewhat understood why the elite soldiers and generals sent by Nangong Lie could not bring back any news.
If Yin Ye is still in the palace, the guards will find clues even if they can't find anyone. This result can only show that Yin Ye is not in the palace at all.
Nangong Yu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the clothes on his chest being pulled tightly by Zhenliang, making the two bodies very close to each other, which looked very strange.
However, Nangong Yu endured the discomfort of the posture and endured it for a long time. Instead, he enjoyed the close distance. The pure fragrance of his daughter came to his nostrils, making him dazzle again and again.
Nangong Yu didn't answer for a long time. Zhenliang thought he was inconvenienced or didn't want to answer, so he immediately softened his voice and said, "Third Prince, please tell me quickly. Please."
Looking into Zhenliang's tear-stained eyes, Nangong Yu's heart was so soft that there was no reason not to agree? He wished he could tell her about Yin Ye right away.
"You're pulling me like this, and I'm having trouble breathing. Can you hold on tighter?" Nangong Yu joked.
In fact, what he really wanted to say later was: Can you just hug me?
However, he did not dare to speak out this shameless thought that was born out of madness, for fear of being looked down upon by Zhenliang.
Only then did Zhenliang realize the abruptness of his movements, he quickly let go of his hand and took a step back, "I'm sorry."
In an instant, although Nangong Yu's body regained the freedom to stand upright, he felt extremely lost inside, as if the muscles and bones supporting him had fallen apart.
Zhenliang smiled sheepishly and urged, "Third Prince, please tell me quickly."
She always remembered that time was running out and Nangong Yu could not stay with her for a long time. But Nangong Yu wished he could stay for a while longer because he didn't know that in such a late night, his imperial brother might come.
Nangong Yu smiled and nodded, then said, "Yinye, she——"
Before the next word could be spoken, Nangong Yu alertly heard the sound of footsteps that Zhenliang could not hear.
If it were the sound of footsteps walking around outside, he wouldn't have cared about it at all. However, those footsteps were steady, powerful, and deliberately gentle, and they were obviously coming towards Zhenliang's palace.
Nangong Yu quickly put the torn off face towel back on his face and whispered to Zhenliang, "There is someone."
Although Zhenliang was shocked, because he knew who the visitor was, he did not panic at all. He just urged Nangong Yu, "It doesn't matter, you can leave quickly."
Nangong Yu was very surprised by Zhenliang's calm reaction. He looked at the south window where the visitor was about to approach and asked, "Have you made an appointment?"
In fact, Nangong Yu had already heard that the person who came was definitely not a woman, but a man. If Zhenliang made an appointment with a man late at night, that man would be either his imperial brother or another man.
He didn't think that his calm brother would do such a thing, so he suspected that Zhenliang had another man.
With complicated emotions, he wanted to ask for the truth, and even ask the man for a while, whether it was for the sake of his brother or for himself.
Zhenliang shook his head and said quickly, "No."
Indeed, she was telling the truth. Nangong Lie came uninvited every time and there was no need for her to invite him at all.
Nangong Yu trusted Zhenliang very much, and when she saw Zhenliang denying it quickly, she thought that the visitor might have come to murder her, so he unconsciously put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Zhenliang shook his head, "It's my turn to protect you."
Originally, she had made up her mind not to tell Nangong Yu about Nangong Lie's arrival, but in this situation, if she didn't tell him, Nangong Yu would definitely not leave with peace of mind.
Helpless, Zhenliang could only tell the truth in Nangong Yu's puzzled eyes and said, "The emperor is here, please leave quickly."
"Is it the imperial brother?" Nangong Yu was shocked and moved his eyes from the south window to Zhenliang's face, with disbelief written all over his face, "Are you sure?"
In fact, he already believed it without Zhenliang's reply. Obviously, it was not the first time that the emperor came to Zhenliang's palace in such a quiet way, so Zhenliang would get used to it and knew it well.
He was shocked that a man as cold and mature as the emperor would actually meet his legitimate woman through the window in the middle of the night.
He may be able to understand the reason. The emperor brother may be trying to reduce the jealousy of other concubines towards Zhenliang, but is such an impulsive and passionate emperor brother still the emperor brother he knows?
Looking at Zhenliang, whose face was filled with anxiety because of her delay in leaving, Nangong Yu had a lot of emotions. On the one hand, she felt that this woman was becoming more and more precious, and on the other hand, she felt that she was becoming more and more rare.
Why, when he likes a woman, his competitor will always be the royal brother?
If he were not the imperial brother, he could compete with him without any burden and be confident that he would win. However, because he was the imperial brother, he would either generously want to do so, or he would constantly blame himself and hesitate.
This time, even though the hope of getting Zhenliang is even slimmer and more unreasonable, Nangong Yu has no idea of letting go for the time being, which is also the most painful thing for him.
If brotherhood can completely defeat love, tonight, he can stay in Zhenliang's palace and accept the trial of his imperial brother calmly.
The sound of opening the south window was heard. Zhenliang knew that it was impossible for Nangong Yu to leave from the main door where the south window could be seen. The only passage was the north window farthest from the south window.
"Go quickly!" Zhenliang pushed Nangong Yu hard.
This time, Nangong Yu was finally willing to move, and followed her gesture and walked towards the north window. For the sake of brotherly friendship, he knew it was best not to let the imperial brother discover him.
It's not that he is timid or afraid of trouble, or that he has a ghost in his heart, but more that he complies with Zhenliang's wishes.
When Nangong Yu jumped out of the north window, Nangong Lie had already jumped in from the south window, and walked quickly towards the north window with vigilance. He happened to see Nangong Yu jump out of the window under the push of Zhenliang.
Back view.
When Zhenliang saw Nangong Yu's figure leaving, he was about to quickly close the north window, but he felt a light on his back.
She turned around suddenly and happened to meet Nangong Lie's extremely angry and sinister eyes.
