Chapter 458 I Came Uninvited, It's My Fault

Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "You are the prince of Yu State, I am the Queen of Dongling, we are not related, you should not call me elder sister, I am not your elder sister."

After that, she added lightly: "Besides, the age is not appropriate."

Zhan Ruo was stunned, and a trace of hurt flashed across Nan Xi's eyes. The originally cold and white skin suddenly became as white as paper, and the beautiful face seemed to lose all its luster in an instant and became dull.

Nan Xi saw him like this, and felt reluctant for a while.

Although they had only been in contact for less than a day, she knew that this young man did not come with malicious intent. He was just straightforward and a little poisonous. Whether it was his attitude towards her or what Rong Yu had said, it was enough to prove that they had a deep relationship in the previous life.

It can even be said that Dan Shu's position in his heart as a sister cannot be replaced by anyone.

If Nan Xi still had the memory of her past life, then based on Dan Shu's feelings for this brother, she might just scold him and warn him for his careless words, but in this situation, Nan Xi had no position to teach him a lesson.

Because she really couldn't treat him as her own brother.

She knew that Rong Yu tolerated him because Rong Yu had Rong Huaijin's memory, and he did have an unshirkable responsibility for the country of Dongling, and he was willing to pay the price for the mistakes he had made, so no matter whether it was the punishment given to him by the high priest or Zhan Ruo's bad attitude towards him, he silently endured it.

However, he could endure it, but Nan Xi couldn't.

Rong Yu had endured enough in his past and present lives, and he had swallowed so much pain alone, and never complained. All he wanted in his past and present lives was to get what he wanted with his deep love.

Compared with those men who were eager for fame and fortune, Rong Yu really didn't ask for much.

Nan Xi couldn't let him bear more accusations.

Even if they really want to blame, what happened two hundred years ago was only between Rong Huaijin and Dan Shu. Only Rong Huaijin and Dan Shu have the right to judge it. No matter how close they are, others have no right to interfere too much.

So even if it might hurt him, Nan Xi would not let him continue to speak ill of Rong Yu.

"Yin Yue." Nan Xi said, "Let everyone leave."

Yin Yue nodded silently, made a gesture, and the palace people lowered their eyebrows and eyes and left.

"Zhan Ruo, I occasionally remember some things in the previous life, but whether it is Rong Huaijin in the previous life or Rong Yu in this life, he is loved by people." Nan Xi looked at Zhan Ruo, "Dan Shu in the previous life was willing to take responsibility and blame for him. In this life, Nan Xi has no regrets to be protected by him and is happy to be a carefree little girl. Whether it is Nan Xi or Dan Shu, there may be times when they are helpless in their feelings, but their feelings have never been false, and they never want to let him down."

Zhan Ruo didn't speak, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his expression was stunned.

"The past is over. Even if you cut him into pieces now, what can be changed?" Nan Xi frowned slightly, "Can you revive Dan Shu from two hundred years ago?"

"Since the things that happened two hundred years ago are over, why do you still let him control your life and come back to be the empress of Dongling?" Zhan Ruo said calmly, "Sister Dan Shu's wish before her death was to be an ordinary woman, to take care of her husband and children, and no longer be bound by the world and responsibilities, but you still returned to Dongling."

"Because Rong Huaijin was not the only one who did wrong in the previous life, and Rong Huaijin was not the only one who was ashamed of the country. Dan Shu also needs to make up for her mistakes." Nan Xi said calmly, "I am not controlled by him, but now the days of returning to Dongling are not forced or reluctant for me. I am willing to come back - even if there are some reasons for Rong Yu, in the end, it is because I have the blood of the Dongling royal family."

And the days of returning to Dongling are actually more comfortable than those in Da Zhou.

It seemed that the responsibility of a country was on her shoulders, but Rong Yu had already made the most careful arrangements in all aspects. As an empress, she did not have any burden. The power was in her hands, but all the major affairs of the court were controlled by Rong Yu, and she did not need to worry at all.

Rong Yu never hid anything from her. He would discuss government affairs with her, mostly in a relaxed and casual way, never put pressure on her, and her opinions usually coincided with his.

Out of absolute respect, Rong Yu would neither hide anything from her nor add extra burdens to her, nor would he make her worry.

Whether it was the young upstarts he had already conquered or the important officials in the court, he could rule them all obediently, but he had to give her the opportunity to show favor and establish his authority, which invisibly accumulated majesty for her as an empress.

Nan Xi did not think that any man in the world could be as meticulous and strong as Rong Yu, who could handle everything in a comprehensive manner and protect her tightly.

So what if she made a thousand mistakes in her past life?

Is she going to hold on to her past mistakes and let Rong Yu, who has already had a hard life in this life, endure more torture and suffering?

"So your majesty returned to Dongling voluntarily, and fell in love with this person voluntarily, and will never regret it in this life?" Zhan Ruo looked at her, his eyes never blinking, as if to confirm her feelings, "Even if he has done a lot of wrong things?"

Nan Xi said in a light tone: "There is nothing to regret."

Zhan Ruo was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "I know."

"Zhan Ruo Prince Ruo——"

"I took the liberty of coming here uninvited." Zhan Ruo stood up, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply to express his apology, "To paraphrase Duanmu Yu, I hope that Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent will bear with you. "

Nan Xi frowned.

Rong Yu put down his chopsticks and adjusted the sleeves of his robe slowly, with an expression that was difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger.

"I will go back to Yu Country soon, and I will try my best not to set foot in Dongling again. Your Majesty, what I said in the afternoon will be regarded as my fart." Zhanruo narrowed his eyes, his voice was calm, and there was no more explosion. Mao's anger, "I'll say goodbye."

After speaking, he gave a slow salute, then turned around and walked out without looking back.

Nan Xi stood up: "Zhan Ruo."

Zhanruo paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Nan Xi: "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

"Stay in the palace tonight. It's freezing outside, so don't run around."

Zhanruo shook his head and smiled lightly: "This palace has left me with too many unforgettable memories. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night, so I won't stay here. Thank you for your kindness."

Nan Xi's heart sank, and she watched helplessly as he stepped out of the palace door and quickly disappeared into the night.
