If Nangong Yu had not developed feelings for her, perhaps her relationship with him would be more natural and relaxed at this moment.
At this moment, Zhenliang suddenly felt that, in fact, there was no need to keep it in mind that Nangong Yu liked him. Nangong Yu was a kind and sensible man, as long as she showed love and dependence on Nangong Lie in front of him.
Nangong Lie, as time goes by, he should give up and completely give up thinking.
Thinking of this, Zhenliang took the initiative to chat with Nangong Yu, and the topics all revolved around Nangong Lie. For example, what the emperor likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat; why the emperor's personality is different from his; why the emperor never wants children...
…etc.
In anyone's opinion, when a woman takes the initiative to inquire and learn about a man, she must love him in her heart, otherwise, she would not be interested in asking about his trivial matters.
Some of these questions Nangong Yu could answer, and some Nangong Yu couldn't. However, Nangong Yu would always give certain answers while maintaining a gentle smile.
However, Zhenliang, who observed carefully, still felt that Nangong Yu's mood was depressed because of her colorful questions. For example, his smile gradually stiffened and his eyes gradually became wandering and lifeless.
Even though she feels that she is very cruel, Zhenliang feels that for the sake of Nangong Yu, this is the best thing to do. Giving hope to a man who does not love her is one of the cruelest parts of being a woman.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was already evening time, but there was still no trace of Nangong Lie's return.
Zhenliang has already learned from Jin Ye that although Eunuch Jiao promised that he would send someone out of the palace to notify the emperor, he could not guarantee that he would be able to find the emperor in time.
In other words, even if the emperor is found, he may not come back immediately for her and Yinye.
Naturally, Nangong Yu didn't know the whereabouts of Nangong Lie. Although people from the Third Prince's Palace had been sent everywhere to inquire about Nangong Lie's whereabouts, the hope was definitely slim.
Zhenliang felt that the soles of her feet went from numbness to numbness. At this moment, even her legs seemed not to be her own.
When she was about to lose her support, Zhenliang squatted down against the tree trunk, which was more comfortable.
When Nangong Yu saw this, he couldn't help but feel extremely guilty. Even if he stood under this tree for a whole day and night, he would not feel tired. However, Zhenliang was a weak woman without martial arts. How could she have the physical strength to stand for a long time?
Thinking of this, Nangong Yu said with shame, "I was careless, I will ask you to bring you a chair."
Zhenliang quickly grabbed the hem of Nangong Yu's clothes and shook his head, "Third Prince, there is no need to trouble yourself by making such an effort."
Nangong Yu insisted, "It's just a chair, what's the point of stirring up trouble?"
Zhenliang said speechlessly, "I don't like the chair. Why don't you just bring a bed with a mattress and quilt so that I can just lie down and wait?"
Nangong Yu stopped talking, and naturally it was clear that Zhenliang was speaking out of repulsion.
Although Zhenliang didn't need company, having Nangong Yu standing by his side really emboldened him a lot in the dark night. For fear that he would feel that he was disrespectful, he explained, "Last time, I had a quarrel with the emperor because of a trivial matter.
We had a small conflict and never reconciled it. This time something happened to Yin Ye, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be willing to help. That's why I came here to wait. I was afraid that he wouldn't want to see me and wouldn't help, but I also wanted to express my sincerity to him.
What is sincerity? Sincerity means being willing to endure any hardship and give willingly. Now I stand here for a long time, not only to endure hardship, but also to be sincere to him. I have bad selfishness, because I want the emperor to think that I am so good.
For the sake of sincerity, let's put aside our past grudges and help Yinye and me. If the emperor finds me sitting on a chair waiting for him later, his good impression of me will definitely be greatly reduced, right?"
Nangong Yu finally understood what Zhenliang meant by refusing the chair. While he was greatly appreciative in his heart, he apologized readily, "I'm sorry, I almost didn't help."
In fact, even if the emperor doesn't want to see Zhenliang later, he will intercede with the emperor and help them, master and servant, to clear their grievances.
However, since Zhenliang worked so devoutly for Silver Leaf, he could only feel sorry for her and share her burdens, but could not deny her efforts.
Zhenliang smiled brightly and said, "Don't blame those who don't know. It's a dark and windy night. Thank you for your company. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be eaten by tigers and wolves."
Nangong Yu laughed and said, "Do you think this is a barren mountain? Where can tigers and wolves come from?"
Zhenliang looked in the direction of the palace gate, sighed softly and said, "Everyone thinks that tigers and wolves are cruel and ruthless. In fact, there are some people in this world who are more cruel and ruthless than tigers and wolves. For example, the person who instigated Xiaoling to lie has his heart.
The level of cruelty is really terrifying, since he has the ability to instigate Concubine Xuan’s confidants to give his master abortion pills."
In fact, Zhenliang still had a bold guess in her mind. Maybe the person who instigated Xiaoling to drugged and lied was not someone else, but Concubine Xuan herself.
Palace fights are terrifying, and some women will really do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, even sacrificing innocent flesh and blood in their bodies.
Of course, this is just her random guess and cannot be stated, especially since Nangong Yu once liked Wen Xuanwu.
Nangong Yu agreed with Zhenliang's words, "You are right, some people are indeed scarier than tigers and wolves. I hope that such people will not appear among the people I care about."
Although Nangong Yu is kind-hearted and simple, it does not mean that he is not good at complex reasoning and judgment.
In fact, he had already guessed the possibility that Zhenliang had guessed, especially when he saw Wen Xuanwu crying so haggardly, for some reason, for a moment, he felt that Wen Xuanwu was crying a little.
It was fake. As for how it was fake, he couldn't tell.
Although he no longer likes Wen Xuanwu, after meeting her for the first time, she is undoubtedly still someone he cares about.
And the other person in his life who he cared about very much but was worried about was his mother.
Although he has persuaded her a lot, she is his elder after all, and he cannot be rude, let alone have the ability to change his mother's temperament and heart.
He only hoped that the evil she created were small evils and would not lead to big evils, and that he, as his son, could prevent one thing after another and save one thing after another.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
Just when the two of them were meditating on human nature, there was a sound of a carriage at the palace gate. When the head of the carriage was exposed, Nangong Yu saw it clearly at a glance and said excitedly, "That's the emperor's carriage. He's back."
.”
When Zhenliang heard this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly prepared to stand up from her squatting position. However, because she was exhausted and her legs were numb, she stumbled and fell to the ground as soon as she stood up straight.
Nangong Yu quickly retracted his gaze and put his arms around her waist.
This scene was unbiasedly seen by Nangong Lie who happened to lift the curtain of the car.
The sincerity that Zhenliang mentioned fell into Nangong Lie's eyes in this manner, which was not only a blessing but also a misfortune.
