That figure seems to be-

Gu Tingchun.

How did she come to the Imperial Study?

Nanyan suddenly stopped, and his mind was a little confused for a while.

Thinking back to today, oh no, it was already yesterday, and everything that happened yesterday, she knew very well that it was Si Mulan who colluded with Concubine Kang Wu Yun, and then together with the officials of the previous dynasty, to prevent her canonization.

So, what about Gu Tingchun?

What role does she play in it?

Think about it, this place is the imperial study, if there is no call from the emperor, she will definitely not be able to come by herself, of course, it is not ruled out that she will take the initiative to say something to the emperor.

So-what did she say to the emperor?

Nanyan thought about it for a while, but continued to walk forward.

As soon as he reached the bottom of the steps, he saw a man walking in from inside.

It's Jian Ruocheng.

The dim light behind him made his face a little haggard, and when he saw Nanyan, he was stunned for a moment: "You-"

"Master Jane."

Nanyan whispered and saluted him.

Jian Ruocheng hurriedly walked up to her and looked down at her.

The gaze seemed gentle and concerned.

There is even a little unspeakable pity.

However, all his emotions were only in his eyes, and when he opened his mouth, he coughed lightly to make his voice sound calmer: "You, here." ”

"Yes, I want to see the emperor."

"Okay, I'll pass it on to you."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and go inside, but as soon as he turned around, thought about it, and looked back at her again.

Nanyan also looked up at him.

The two men were silent for a short time.

But for some reason, it seems like a long time has passed.

Jian Ruocheng said softly: "Don't be afraid. ”

With that, he turned around and walked in.

Nanyan was stunned for a moment, in fact, she didn't think about getting any comfort from others, but Jian Ruocheng's short two words seemed to give her infinite strength.

She stood at the door of the imperial study, and for a while, she didn't feel cold, let alone tired.

After a while, the door to the study opened again.

This time, Jian Ruocheng and Ye Xu, as well as Heyi, all walked out.

Several people saw Nan Yan, although there was no expression on their faces, they all nodded at her, Nan Yan also saluted them, and then walked in.

In the imperial study, only Zhu Feng was alone.

He sat at the back of the table, and only a candle remained on the table, illuminating his grim face and the letter he had placed on the table.

Nanyan's heart sank.

She walked in, then closed the door.

Gently walked to the table.

At this time, Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at her.

Those deep eyes were a little red in the candlelight, and Nanyan took a closer look, only to find that his eyes were full of bloodshots.

It's so tiring.

She said softly: "Your Majesty ......"

Zhu Feng said: "Do you know that you are from the country? ”

“……”

This sentence was like a gust of cold wind, sweeping away the little remaining heat in her heart.

Nanyan subconsciously shuddered.

But she gritted her teeth, allowed herself to stand firm, and then whispered, "I don't know." ”

“……”

Zhu Feng looked at her quietly for a while.

Then he said, "Then do you know what is written on this letter?" ”

She still shook her head: "I don't know. ”

Zhu Feng picked up a corner of the letter and handed it to her.

Nanyan took a deep breath and hurriedly stepped forward to take the letterhead.

It was a somewhat yellowed piece of letterhead, but because no one had ever flipped through it, the paper still looked very new and clean, with only a few rows of words on it, which could be seen by looking at the handwriting, which was the same as some of the letters left by his father, and Si Zhongwen.

Nanyan lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

South Smoke:

When you read this letter, the Father should no longer be alive.

In fact, I'm not your father.

Back then, when I brought you back to Yanguo from the country, my father was seriously injured and alone in the vast grassland, almost unable to hold on. In desperation, I saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the south, pointing me out the way and getting out of the predicament.

So, I named you Nanyan.

I hope that your life can also have such a direction.

No matter how confused the world is, there is always a light in the heart to guide you.

Parent word.

……

After reading it, Nanyan was stunned for a long time.

Ever since she heard Wu Yun's words in front of Fengtian Palace, and saw Si Mulan take out this letter, her heart was shocked.

But—

This letter, the letter that set off a huge wave in her life, was so light-hearted.

It's just about telling such a bland scene, telling such a bland truth.

For a while, she couldn't even come back to her senses.

Si Zhongwen is not his father.

The Si family is not his own home.

Therefore, everything that I think I "have" is, in fact, really not my own.

Who is that self?

Where did it come from.

Where are you going in the future?

For a moment, she was like a ball of catkins in the wind, she didn't know where she came from, and she didn't dare to ask where she was going, and her whole person was a little swaying, extremely empty.

And at this moment, the heavy voice sounded in my ears again.

"Are you from the country?"

The voice, so familiar, so heavy, seemed to pull her back from the fluttering wind at once.

Nanyan raised her head, and Zhu Feng was looking at her.

Those eyes showed neither anger nor regret, and they were even calmer than at any time on weekdays.

Nanyan didn't know why he was asking.

Obviously, he knows no more than him.

But she took a deep breath and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhu Feng got up from his seat and slowly walked in front of her, the tall figure blocked the only light, and Nanyan seemed to fall into darkness.

Only his voice was heard—

"What if, what if you are?"

“……”

What if, I am?

This question has been asked to herself thousands of times since she returned to Yikun Palace.

What if yes?

If it's really a Chinese person......

So, everything before doesn't count, doesn't it count?

All the words that have been said, all the sweet memories, all the expectations for the future, don't they count?

Nanyan looked up and looked into those deep eyes.

Zhu Feng still stared at her without blinking.

"What will happen to you?"

“……”

"Do you know what to do with yourself?"

For some reason, Nanyan felt as if he was pushing himself.

Forcing yourself to answer this question is forcing yourself to face something.

Nanyan took a deep breath and said calmly, "I, still me." ”

“……”

"What I love, I still love."

“……”

"What I want, still what I want."

“……”

"I will not retreat, no matter what obstacles, I will not retreat!"
