Fragrance Court.
"If something happens to Wudan in Nanyan, NATO will not let this go easily." Shangguan Wan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
Nangong Yu knew what she meant and calmly replied, "Relax, I've already sent people back to the Imperial Court to redeploy. With Xuan Yue here, I don't dare to do anything to Nan Yan."
That was true. In the past, Nangong Yu was full of ambition. He was ready to rule the world at any time, so he was not a match for those small countries.
"Whether you dare to do it or not is one thing, and whether you do it or not is another." Shangguan Wan still had some understanding of the human heart, such as Luo Chen. Even though she knew she was no match for her, she still liked to hit a rock with an egg.
"Right, then what should we do next?" Nangong Yu wanted to hear her opinion.
Shangguan Wan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "I've been feeling uneasy recently. Father's birthday, it definitely won't be that smooth."
"You mean he'll do it that day?"
This "he" referred to Rui Xiang's master. Although they did not know who this person was, but to be able to send people into the Imperial Family, she should belong to the Imperial Family. Perhaps she was referring to the person beside him, but unfortunately, this person's ambush was too deep.
"Therefore, on the day of the birthday, you must be on full alert. You can't give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of you." That person had been holding himself back for a while. Ever since the poison incident, he hadn't made any other movements. He was probably waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely reveal his wolf's ambition.
Nangong Yu nodded, "But if the enemy is hidden and I'm in the light, I'm afraid it'll be hard to guard against them."
"As long as it is watertight, I will definitely be able to defend against it." Shangguan Wan was very sure, she didn't believe that a fox fairy who had cultivated for three hundred years couldn't beat those petty people.
"Alright, then This Emperor will watch the empress toy with them." Nangong Yu poured a cup of tea and respectfully placed it in front of her.
She did not even think as she accepted it and downed it in one gulp. All she could do was hate herself for being too careless and fell for his words.
"You bastard!" What kind of a man are you to do this! "
The soft tendons had scattered. If she had kept some snacks, she would definitely be able to see through it.
Sure enough, this was what he had just said, "It was impossible to guard against."
Nangong Yuxie smiled charmingly, "Your husband is talking about the ways of the martial world in front of his wife."
He picked her up and carried her out.
Shangguan Wan was angry, if he threw her into the river now, she wouldn't even have the chance to resist.
Compared to other poisons, if it were any other poisons, she could still force them out with her martial arts. However, she had been struck by the soft tendons and her body was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to move it.
"Don't forget, I still haven't forgiven you. We're only putting on an act in front of outsiders. After this incident is over, we'll each go our own ways!" It was clearly a "grand plan", but because he didn't have the strength to say it, it was so light.
Nangong Yu looked at the person in his arms as he walked, his eyes beaming with joy: "I know."
He would not be angry. He just loved to make her look bad and cute. Even when she was angry, she was still cute.
Finally, he carried her to the river and made her heart thump.
This guy wouldn't actually throw me into the river out of revenge, right?
Speaking of which, he really dared to do anything. He would kick Wu Dan every time he saw him, but other men didn't even dare to touch Wu Dan's hair.
However, reality proved that she was overthinking. How could the emperor do such a cruel thing?
There was a small boat by the river, covered with flowers, fruits, wine, and delicacies.
The boat was surrounded by muslin. The wind blew, causing the muslin to dance in the air. It was truly beautiful.
After boarding the boat, he placed her in the cabin and instructed the little forest on the bow of the ship, "Let's begin."
Lin nodded, picked up the oars and began rowing.
Rowing a boat was a technical task, but he had practiced it for a long time without any rest.
The Imperial River was very wide, and Little Lin sailed to the center of it. The people on both sides of the river could not see what was happening on the boat, so everything was naturally planned by the Emperor.
One had to say, this sort of private space was indeed very suitable for couples to enjoy.
Xiao Lin parked the boat and respectfully saluted Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu waved his hand and Little Lin jumped down. That's right, he had practiced swimming before and was forced to practice by his master. He had even drunk a lot of water during this time.
After the eyesore left, this was the real world of the two.
"You … What are you going to do? " Shangguan Wan was too weak to speak.
"Come to think of it, we have never been on a sightseeing tour together. This is a good opportunity." Nangong Yu placed her head on his shoulder.
Shangguan Wan was speechless. What good opportunity? Opportunities were given by the gods, they could not be considered man-made.
"Enjoy yourself, my queen." He put his arm around her waist, and all he could see was the mountain shrouded in smoke and the water against the blue sky.
With her stubborn temper, she wouldn't pretend to be in love with him without an outsider around. Thus, she could only apologize and use this less formal method.
But it didn't hurt. He just needed to achieve his goal.
For a man to do things, he should be carefree.
Little Lin finally swam to the shore and twisted the water off her wet clothes.
Emperor Nanyan walked over and said with a smile, "Eunuch Lin has done a great service in this matter."
"Your servant pays his respect to the Emperor!"
"Rise." Emperor Nanyan helped him up with a big smile on his face.
As long as his daughter and son-in-law were happy and happy, it was his greatest wish as a father.
Returning to the ship, the sun gradually set in the west, and Shangguan Wan was dazzled by the sunset glow.
She had been too busy, too busy looking for saltwood, too busy dealing with the enemy to be able to watch the beautiful sunrise or sunset.
Back in Qing Qiu, she would often accompany his sister to admire the moon and count the stars in the sky. Although there was no end to it, the two sisters would never be tired of it.
It was rare to see someone accompanying her to admire the sunset after leaving Qing Qiu.
Her heart was moved. Perhaps, his simple and crude method had brought her an unexpected harvest.
He lowered his eyes and saw that a faint smile had appeared on her face. She was so beautiful, even more beautiful than the sunset.
He casually took a flower from the boat and brought it to her nose. She sniffed it and found that it was indeed fragrant. It gave her a very comfortable feeling.
"You've been tired recently, and you've put too much pressure on yourself. You should take a good rest. There are many things in this world that you should pursue. Flowers, wine, light from water, sunset …"
He spoke word for word, confusing her.
She slowly closed her eyes, her warm lips touching the water.
She did not refuse. The veil fluttered gently, and the two people on the boat, their flesh and bones blended together, were hidden in the approaching twilight.
