"Your Majesty, you …"
When Nangong Yu saw her reaction, he was even more certain that the Archaic Dew Wood was something extremely important to her.
"I've heard you mention it before." He dispelled the doubt in her heart, "Tell me, maybe I can help you."
He really shouldn't have helped her with this favor. Finding her meant that she would leave. However, he couldn't bear to see her so disappointed.
In a dilemma, he chose to help.
Shangguan Wan nodded, looking down at the bandages on her hands, she smiled coyly, "So His Majesty already knew."
She was smart enough to think that she could use a lie to hide this matter. However, she didn't know what could be hidden from her master's meticulous thoughts.
Nangong Yu didn't reply. He only looked at her silently, treating it as a tacit agreement.
A trace of panic flashed across Shangguan Wan's eyes, the veins on her forehead popped, and she said with a trembling voice: "Then Princess Nanyan is looking for me in the Xuan Ye Imperial Palace …"
"Yes, I do suspect your identity. Resurrection after death is strange, and your words and actions do not match the princess' identity. In addition, you've gone through so much trouble to find something that I've never heard of before. Is this not enough to explain?"
Shangguan Wan's legs unconsciously retreated a step, "Then does the emperor believe I'm fake?"
How laughable it was. She had always thought that her acting skills were very good, sufficient to completely disguise herself in front of him. However, he had already exposed everything. In this period of time, she was akin to a clown as she played around with him.
This feeling of loss was not inferior to the feeling of not being able to find the Aral Dawn Wood.
Nangong Yu slowly walked in front of her and stood still. He reached out his hand to touch the center of her wrinkled forehead. With a gentle tone, he said, "You are the real one. If I say yes, you are."
He gave a devilish smile as he pulled her into his embrace, completing his mission.
She couldn't open it no matter what. The barrier in her heart seemed to collapse with his hug, and her heart lost its way.
She had originally wanted to keep her distance from him, but now that she had made it clear that she was a fake and that she was still by his side, she couldn't help but be moved by her determination and deep emotion.
In the end, she did not resist, nor did she struggle. She let him hold her, and her body was already his. Where could her heart go? Even if she knew there wouldn't be a good ending, she still had to give it a try, even if it would be thunderous.
It was rare for him to go crazy in his lifetime.
She still did not tell him more about the Aral Dawn Wood, because she did not want him to get involved with it.
In this way, she accepted his love tacitly, but her attitude was not much different from before.
And when Nangong Yu doted on a woman, she became a lawless person.
"Your majesty, the empress just sneezed." Lin Zi had returned from the Phoenix Restaurant with the orders of the Emperor to deliver some precious supplements. When she returned to the Imperial Study, she reported all of this to Nangong Yu, then she added this line of sloppy gossip.
The speaker was uninterested, but the listener intentionally asked, "What? Did Imperial Physician Xuan? Is she all right? "
"It's fine, it's fine. Your Majesty, don't worry. The Empress just sneezed a very ordinary sneeze." Look, His Majesty has already taken care of the Empress to such an extent.
For a moment, Nangong Yu was not in the mood. No matter what, he should go take a look. He would just treat it as satisfying his own selfishness.
There were also rumors that His Majesty the emperor had ignored the affairs of the kingdom and carried the burden of swearing the name of the ungrateful monarch because of a sneeze of the empress.
The person concerned did not explain or conceal anything. He did not care what others said.
How he dotes on a woman is his business.
Shangguan Wan expressed helplessness. She was not interested in favors. Although she had tacitly agreed that the emperor was her husband, there was no need to make everyone who loved each other jealous.
Fortunately, there was no concubine in the palace. If there was, the concubines would definitely beat themselves to death out of jealousy.
"Your majesty, I've eaten well and slept well. I've slept very well in all aspects. You don't need to come over for nothing. The infamous concubine can't afford to have a beauty that could bring disaster." Shangguan Wan said directly, the servant in the palace almost had internal injuries after hearing this and held back her laughter.
Nangong Yu's pair of deep black eyes revealed a hint of slyness as he said seriously, "I'm the one who fainted. You're the one who caused this disaster. It's a perfect match."
Shangguan Wan almost fainted, she rubbed her temples with her fingers silently.
"Is the queen not feeling well? I'll summon the imperial physician for you to see. " Nangong Yu was about to summon his servant, but Shangguan Wan stopped him.
"Chenqie is not a porcelain, she won't break so easily."
Nangong Yu smiled, "As long as it isn't porcelain, then that's good. I'm counting on you to fulfill my Imperial Mother's wish as soon as possible."
Hearing that, Shangguan Wan's expression froze. Wishful thinking? How could she not know the Empress Dowager's wishes? She was destined to never give birth to a son for him, even if she had a different path as a transvestite. This was her eternal regret.
She could not bear to tell him that such a fact was like a bolt out of the blue for him.
How painful it must have been for someone in the clouds to fall into hell.
She forced a smile onto her face. "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Go back and rest as soon as possible."
She never took the initiative to let him stay the night, and he would not shamelessly stay here for the night.
He only thought of it as a buffer for her to face up to her feelings.
"Alright." He gave a simple answer, then turned around and returned to Huanqin Hall. His straight back and the clear moonlight formed a beautiful scenery.
