"We must have just left Nanzheng State." Xing Yu glanced outside, "Are you curious about how they are here?" Xing Yu knew what the young man was about to ask, and moreover, the young man’s guarded expression was not hidden at all, even the look he gave her was cautious, but Xing Yu was pleased and didn’t mind these things.
"They—" Yin He looked at Xing Yu, suddenly asked, "Did they go to Nanzheng State?"
Xing Yu was startled, she hadn’t asked that indeed, yes, why would Nann Yu appear in a place belonging to Nanzheng State, wasn’t he supposed to be in Nann State? She seed to vaguely rember hearing sothing about Nann State. It appeared that the situation in Nann State was also quite complex, with various forces interwoven and chaotic.
"I don’t know, when I t them, it was in the mountains where Nanzheng and Nann intersect, you told before you lost consciousness... Then, they took along toward the Western Border." Xing Yu, simple-minded, was now annoyed that she couldn’t answer the young man’s question, wondering why she hadn’t thought of this.
"Was it in Nann State’s territory or in Nanzheng State’s?" Yin He continued to inquire.
Xing Yu thought seriously, Yin He had taught her how to determine whether they had reached Nann State; she had seen a long boundary marker in the forest only after encountering Nann Yu.
"It must be in Nann State," Xing Yu declared.
The young man sighed with relief, finally feeling reassured, as long as it was within Nann State’s territory, that was fine.
Seeing the young man relax, Xing Yu’s expression also loosened from its earlier tension, yet she didn’t know why she had lied. However, the guilt of lying did not lessen any bit, Xing Yu lowered her head, vaguely aware of what Yin He might be worrying about.
"Now that you are awake, maybe we should separate?" Xing Yu suggested, Nann Yu fancied the Empress, Yin He fancied the Empress, these two eting wouldn’t be good.
"No need, just continue with them," there was a carriage, no worries about food, why would he leave. More importantly, when the guard’s energy entered his body, he distinctly felt it, and indeed, the guard had revived him, so, having such a benefit, why should he leave?
"But—" Xing Yu was still a bit worried.
"Xing Yu, don’t be afraid, I am here, we’ll play it by ear," Yin He whispered.
The campfire in the camp was leaping, and after the previous upheaval, Nann Yu no longer felt like sleeping and was now sitting not far from Xing Yu’s tent by the campfire. Though his eyes were closed, the feet he was warming by the fire tapped rhythmically, reflecting his thoughts.
His first thought upon eting Xing Yu was to take Nian Ru back to Nann State, but now it seed that was no longer possible.
Moreover, the way Xing Yu looked at Yin He also led him to guess sothing.
Nian Ru was dead, in the chaos, Xing Yu was not killed, so she must have been coincidentally saved by Yin He. That was the only explanation for Xing Yu and Yin He being together.
"King, now that that man is awake, should we not let Miss Xing Yu stay in a tent alone?" A guard beside him, having held back for a long ti, began to ask.
Almost everyone could see that Nann Yu placed great importance on Miss Xing Yu, but now, the Miss Xing Yu so highly valued by the King was sharing a tent with another man, which infuriated everyone.
They had arrived a step too late, causing such sorrow to the King; now, when there was finally a chance for redy, yet...
Nann Yu opened his eyes and glanced at his own people.
"No need, she may not agree," and besides, it was just a montary thought; now that he cald down, even he found his own ideas ridiculous, it was simply...
Seeing this, the guard wanted to say sothing else, but Nann Yu had already stood up, looked at the night, and noted it was late, they had to continue their journey tomorrow, there was still ti for another sleep.
The next morning, just as Yin He had anticipated, before setting off, Nann Yu still sent the guard to check on Yin He’s injury, using the sa thod as yesterday to allow Yin He’s organs to breathe, but this relief didn’t last long, a few Shichen later, the blue smoke would be completely consud, so the guard could only use the sa thod again to keep the young man awake.
The guard ca out and went straight to Nann Yu.
"How is it?" Nann Yu asked coldly, but then, Nian Ru was already dead, those things no longer had aning.
But Yin He was alive, and for Nann State, it was now ti to consider other matters.
