Chapter 268: Uncovering the Mystery

Rong Yu's eyes fell on the side of Nan Xi's face without blinking, and he did not ignore her slightly trembling eyelashes, but he just pretended that he knew nothing. The emotions in his eyes were deep and complex, rippling with emotional fluctuations like the ups and downs of the sea.

The light rain that lasted almost all day yesterday washed away the dust in the air. The temperature was a bit cold in the morning, but the air was exceptionally fresh. Xuanyuan Xi sent someone to ask if he was going to rush today. The implication was very clear. I didn't get up until noon.

Rong Yu didn't hesitate at all and replied: "One more day of rest."

Obviously he didn't care what his mother-in-law's reaction would be after hearing this.

Nan Xi heard his voice and slowly opened her eyes: "Rong Yu."

"Are you awake?" Rong Yu said softly, "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Nan Xi said: "I'm full of sleep."

Rong Yu hummed and said no more. His noble face was smooth and it was impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.

Nan Xi's clear eyes fell on his handsome and noble face, and the scene in her dream appeared in front of her eyes. Thinking about the life of Queen Jinghua that he told her yesterday, an incredible guess appeared in her heart. Somehow, the more and more The more I look at him, the more I feel a strange and subtle sense of substitution.

Rong Huaijin.

However, how is it possible?

"What are Xi'er thinking about?" Rong Yu asked in a low voice, with a bit of undetectable depression in his voice, as if he was suppressing some uneasiness, "Are you having a nightmare again?"

"No." Nan Xi smiled slightly, "I just think you are very pretty."

Rong Yu pursed her lips, with a smile on her lips: "Really?"

"Don't you want to go on your way today?"

"One more day of rest." Rong Yu said, "Don't be in a hurry. Just arrive at Dongling before the twelfth lunar month."

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "Then ask someone to go to the city to buy me some books today. I want to know about the political history of Dongling."

Rong Yu was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Okay."

Nan Xi got up to wash and change clothes, and Rong Yu waited on her closely, almost without any help from others.

An idea suddenly appeared in Nan Xi's heart, like an enlightenment. Many things that she didn't understand before seemed to be vaguely explained at this time.

For example, why did Rong Yu, the regent who led troops on the battlefield and commanded the ministers in the court, be so good at taking care of women's clothing, as if he had done it countless times.

For example, he led the army to fight at the age of fourteen, and it has only been eight years since he was twenty-two years old. How can he intimidate the court and still control such a large force as Jiuxiao Pavilion.

Another example is why she had never been in contact with him before, and was not even outstanding among the rich and powerful women of the Zhou Dynasty, but he was determined to only be good to her. For this reason, he did not hesitate to depose the emperor and reprimand Wen Wen. Lan was even so paranoid that he would kill himself without hesitation just because of her words.

Why did he like her so persistently and be willing to give everything to her without even frowning.

Everything that I didn’t understand before now has the most reasonable explanation.

As for the so-called unreasonableness.

Nan Xi walked out of the room and stood quietly under the verandah, looking at the clean blue sky in the distance after being washed by the rain. She pondered between her eyebrows. What is the relationship between Queen Jinghua, who has been two hundred years ago, and herself?

What is the relationship between Rong Yu and Rong Huaijin?

Nan Xi didn't find the fate of her past life ridiculous. After personally experiencing the bizarre events of rebirth, she felt that there was nothing unacceptable about fate, but there were still many things that she needed to continue to seek answers to.

Dreamland.

Why does such a complete story development appear in dreams?

Is she destined to be inseparable from magical dreams in this life, or is all this something she is destined to face?

"Xi'er."

A voice suddenly sounded, breaking Nan Xi's daze.

Turning her eyes slightly, Nan Xi looked at Xuanyuan Xi walking in the corridor, and raised a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth: "Mother."

Xuanyuan Xi walked closer, looked at her suspiciously, and then glanced at Rong Yu who was standing beside her. She always felt that the atmosphere at the moment was strange.

She had just seen Nan Xi standing in the corridor, looking like she was staring at the sky in a daze, while Rong Yu beside her stood as silent as a stone sculpture, her eyes locked tightly on Nan Xi's face... ...If it weren't for the fact that there was no painter in the courtyard, she would have thought that the two of them were planning to paint like this.

"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Xi looked between the two of them, "Are you two at odds?"

"Are you having trouble?" Nan Xi was puzzled. She turned to look at Rong Yu and reached out to hold his hand. "How is that possible? Rong Yu and I have such a good relationship. Mom, please don't sow discord between us."

Rong Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the hands held by the two of them, his eyes filled with emotions, his thin lips tightened, and he remained silent.

"I think the weather is good today. I originally thought I would continue on my way. Everything has been packed away." Xuanyuan Xi smiled lightly, "I didn't expect you to change your mind again."

Nan Xi said warmly: "The weather is getting cold, so Mom should keep warm."

Xuanyuan Xi nodded: "I know."

"Mom." Nan Xi raised her eyes, "I have something I want to know about you."

Xuanyuan Xi was surprised: "What's the matter?"

"Let's talk in the house." Nan Xi took Xuanyuan Xi's hand and led her toward the house, turned to look at Rong Yu, her voice was gentle as usual, "Husband, I'll chat with mother for a while. It rained yesterday, go and take a look. Are Ling Fan and the soldiers settled properly? Let them have some hot food to avoid the cold."

Rong Yu kissed her face and nodded gently: "Okay."

The mother and daughter entered the house and sat down on the couch by the window.

"We are about to arrive at Dongling, but I don't know much about Dongling's systems, so I want to learn about it in advance." Nan Xi smiled faintly, "Mom, do you mind telling me about it?"

Xuanyuan Xi said, "If you want to know anything, you can ask Rong Yu directly."

"He is a man, his temperament is different from that of ordinary people, and he must not know much about some palace secrets." Nan Xi held her cheek, with a strong desire for knowledge in her eyes, "There have been two empresses in Dongling's history. It is said that they were both wise and unparalleled monarchs, and their political achievements were not inferior to those of male emperors of all dynasties. How much do you know about their lives? ? "

Xuanyuan Xi's mouth twitched: "Are you worried that you can't be as good as the first two empresses?"

Nan Xi nodded: "I am a little worried."

"There is nothing to worry about." Xuanyuan Xi said, "With Rong Yu here, you will definitely be a good emperor praised by the world."

Nan Xi rolled up her sleeves and picked up the pot, lowered her eyes and poured two cups of tea, and took a sip of one herself: "What I want to know more is the life story of Empress Jinghua."

Xuanyuan Xi was silent for a moment, and smiled knowingly: "You want to know about her emotional experience, right?" No wonder she just talked about some palace secrets.

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "My mother has a sharp mind."
