Sickish Prince is Scheming - C331
Nan Yu Lan abandoned Dong Fang Luo Li and came to Xiao Tian Yuan’s side, lowering her head. If she had anything on her mind, she didn’t say anything.
“Lan’er, what happened to you?” Xiao Tian Yuan felt strange. In just a short period of time, why was there such a huge difference in Nan Yu Lan’s mental state? He clearly had a happy expression a moment ago, but now … Glancing at Nan Yu Lan’s sleeve, he asked in surprise: “Lan’er, how did your sleeve break?”
Nan Yulan hurriedly covered her sleeves with her robe. “It’s nothing. I accidentally hung it on a branch just now. It broke.” She didn’t want anyone to see the birthmark on her arm. Even if it was Xiao Tian Yuan, she didn’t want him to see it.
Xiao Tianyuan stared at her with concern. “Such a cold day. Your sleeve is broken, so don’t catch a cold.” He reached over and pulled the cloak up for her.
Nan Yu Lan raised his head and smiled: “I’m fine, don’t worry.” As he spoke, he lowered his head and walked forward without saying a word.
At this time, he heard the sound of hooves coming from behind him, so Dong Fang Luo Li caught up. Nan Yu Lan glared at her but didn’t say anything, which Xiao Tian Yuan saw clearly, and asked in confusion: “Why did you quarrel with Princess Liu Li just now? Why are you glaring at me? ”
“I …” Nan Yu Lan laughed coldly and sighed: “Forget it, I don’t want to be distracted. Can we see whose horse is faster?” Without waiting for Xiao Tian Yuan’s reply, she whipped her horse and charged forward.
“Wait for me …” Xiao Tian Yuan spurred his horse forward and did not let go.
Although he had his doubts about Nan Yulan’s identity, he saw that Xiao Tian Yuan genuinely liked this woman and his concern for her was greatly reduced. Although he was worried about Shang Yiqing’s safety during the march, he couldn’t help but smile as he saw the two chase after him.
At this point, it was already late in the night. The western sky was not completely dark yet, but a crescent moon was arranged in the east, forming a scene of moonlight and white clouds. Fang Zinan looked at the sky and sighed: “I didn’t expect the sky to turn dark so soon. We need to find a place to rest for the night.”
Dong Fang Luo Li acted as if she didn’t hear him and turned a deaf ear.
I wonder how the Southern Marsh Country is doing? Just now, Dongfang Hao had sent a signal over. That meant that something had happened in the Southern Marsh. He was trying to urge everyone to return to the country but he didn’t know what was going on with Shang Yiqing. Fang Zinan felt a sense of loss and sadness.
After she recognized Nan Yulan’s true identity, Nan Yulan actually didn’t believe her. But it was true that such a unique keepsake was something only the royal family of Dongyu could have, and according to everyone’s identity and status, they would all have different jewelry when they reached adulthood. The ornament of Southland was inlaid because she had not been in the Kingdom of Dongyu since she had grown up, but why did she refuse to believe her own words?
After chasing for a while, Xiao Tian Yuan and Nan Yu Lan arrived at the mound in front of them. Xiao Tian Yuan looked back and saw that Tong Ling was already far away from the group, so he said, “Let’s jump down and rest for a while and wait for them.” As he spoke, he jumped off his horse. Nan Yulan nodded and jumped off her horse as well. The two of them sat side by side on the mound.
Although he had just run away, Xiao Tian Yuan still felt that Nan Yu Lan’s expression was gloomy, as if she was extremely worried about something. He couldn’t help but ask, “Nan’er, what’s wrong with you? You seem to have something on your mind. Can you tell me?”
Nan Yu Lan smiled and shook his head: “Perhaps I was too tired from the rush.”
“Then let’s have a good rest.” Xiao Tian Yuan said with concern. He took out some water and passed it to Nan Yu Lan. “Drink some water first.”
Nan Yu Lan took the water bottle and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, he passed the water bottle to Xiao Tian Yuan, still feeling depressed.
Not long after, Fang Zinan and Dongfang Luanli also followed up. Seeing the two of them resting, they also jumped off their horses. Dong Fang Luo Li opened a small bag hanging on her horse, took out a few pieces of exquisite pastries, and handed them over to Nan Yu Lan: “Come, have a taste of our Dong Yu Nation’s little snacks.”
“I don’t eat.” However, she still bluntly refused.
Dong Fang Luo Li still refused to give up, a sweet smile on her face: “Come, eat less, this is delicious.”
Nan Yulan didn’t extend his hand to receive it.
Seeing this, Dongfang Luoluo could only stuff the pastries into her mouth. “Try it, it’s really very tasty. I remember Imperial Father said that Consort De really likes to eat too, so try it.”
Nan Yu Lan was angry, she slapped away the pastries in Dong Fang Luo Li’s hands and raised her voice: “Didn’t I say I won’t eat? Don’t bother me anymore!”
Since Nan Yu Lan rarely treat people like this, it gave Xiao Tian Yuan a fright. He could only walk up to her and say: “Lan’er, what happened to you? Princess Liu Li also expressed good intentions. Even if you don’t like to eat it, you can’t throw it on the table, right? ”
The corner of Nan Yu Lan’s mouth moved, but she didn’t say anything. Her expression became ice-cold again, as if she was trying to force someone away.
Dong Fang Luo Li tried to smooth things over, “It’s alright. It’s all because of me that Miss Nan doesn’t like to eat. I didn’t take it to heart at all. General Xiao really cares.”
“It’s not that I mind …” Xiao Tian Yuan shook his head, feeling that something was wrong. The two of them were clearly chatting and laughing together, so why did it seem like they were enemies in such a short time? Princess Liu Li’s expression was still natural, but Nan Yu Lan’s reaction was too intense. It was as if she was treating her enemy, but also didn’t seem to be treating him at all. It was obvious that she was distant and cold.
Fang Zinan also felt that something was off. He walked forward and patted Xiao Tianyuan’s shoulder, indicating that he should not interfere with women’s matters. He sat down on the mound as well. The cold wind blew past him, causing his black hair to fly backwards, revealing a gentle and elegant face.
Dong Fang Luo Li knew there was something in Nan Yu Lan’s heart that hadn’t been resolved, so she knew that she couldn’t do anything about it. She just smiled and sat down next to Fang Zi Nan, facing Nan Yu Lan.
She looked at him in such a way that he felt uncomfortable and had to turn his face away.
Xiao Tianyuan looked at the color of the sky and sighed. “Our army still has at least two days before we return to the Southern Marsh Country. Hopefully, King Xuan’s actions won’t be that quick.”
Fang Zinan nodded with a helpless look on his face: “I also think that way, but I feel very confused inside, as if something has happened. I am really worried!”
“Are you worried about Princess Rong?” Xiao Tianyuan asked him with a smile.
“No …” Not all of them will hold a wangfei. ” Fang Zinan shook his head helplessly: “And my father, and the current emperor!”
Xiao Tianyuan’s expression became solemn. “Could it be that you think that King Xuan has already begun to act and is endangering Princess Rong, Prince Yu and the Emperor?”
Fang Zinan shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know either, but I feel very confused in my heart. I’ve never felt this way before, and now I can’t wait to return to the Southern Marsh. Do you know how I feel?”
Xiao Tian Yuan nodded his head seriously. “I can understand you.”
