C21 Feng Duohuan (1/2)
”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.
