Coming out of Nanyuan, An Ran went back to Qinhuang Courtyard first, Nan Lingye looked at the fold in the study, An Ran knocked on the door, Nan Lingye raised his eyes and looked over, his thin lips hooked slightly, put down the fold, and watched her come in.

"Have you seen An Qing?" asked Nan Lingye.

After An Ran sat down, he bowed slightly, "I've seen it, I just came back from Nanyuan." ”

"What's wrong?Did something happen?" Nan Lingye saw An Ran's eyebrows slightly locked, presumably something must have happened.

"Ye Lang, we didn't guess wrong, An Qing told me just now that there is indeed someone behind this matter. An Ran said.

"Who is it?"

"Xiao Yi. ”

Hearing this, Nan Lingye just raised his eyebrows, not very surprised.

Ye Lang didn't seem surprised. An Ran looked at him, his expression was still indifferent.

Nan Lingye tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and responded: "Well, there is nothing surprising about this, if it is someone else, maybe I will be more surprised, but it is Xiao Yi, I don't think there is anything strange." ”

"Why?" An Ran was a little puzzled, she was surprised when she learned from An Qing's mouth that Xiao Yi had done this. If he was simply planning for his future accession to the throne, he would not have to take this risk.

"It's true that Ah Ran is smart, but he doesn't know so much about the deceit of the emperor's family. Nan Lingye said lightly.

An Ran looked at him sideways and didn't speak, just quietly waited for him to continue.

"Those who were born in the family of emperors since ancient times are destined to endure such intrigues, who does not want to become a king above ten thousand people? But there is only one emperor, but there are many princes. Although Xiao Yi is very good in literature and martial arts, it is a pity that he does not have a strong backing, but he supports him, especially his mother's family, his mother concubine is just a lowly maidservant, even if he is excellent, he can't compete with these two words. Ah Ran, do you understand?"

Listening to his words, An Ran pondered carefully, and then said, "I understand what Ye Lang meant. The reason why Xiao Yi took such a big risk and did such a thing is, in the final analysis, for his own interests. If he doesn't get more support, no matter how good and hard he works, he can't become a prince. ”

Nan Lingye nodded, "This is the Emperor's House, this is the struggle for power." ”

An Ran fell silent, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at Nan Ling Ye, her lips hooked slightly, and said with a smile: "But Ye Lang said something wrong just now, not all imperial families are like this, at least not Beichu, your two imperial brothers have never thought of competing with you for the throne." ”

Nan Lingyu and Nan Linghao never dared to be interested in the throne, they didn't have that kind of power struggle in their hearts, on the contrary, they were still a little disgusted with the throne. Just like this time, Nan Lingye came to Dasheng and asked the two of them to handle the affairs of Northern Chu on their behalf, but they were still very reluctant, so they could only succumb to Nan Lingye's obscenity.

Thinking of this, An Ran couldn't help laughing, the three of them let people see a different imperial family.

Nan Lingye just smiled, "Actually, that's just the character of Ah Yu and Ah Hao, they don't like to be restrained." In the Northern Chu royal family, although the three of us brothers have never fought for the throne, it does not mean that others have not coveted this position, just like the emperor's uncle's rebellion, in fact, the struggle between the royal families is more cruel than you think. ”

An Ran listened to Nan Lingye's words, although he said it very plainly, An Ran could feel the helplessness and disgust in his heart.

"I understand what Yelang means. ”

Nan Lingye pursed the corners of his mouth, changed the topic, and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to the Prince's Mansion." ”

An Ran shook his head, "No need, I'll just go by myself." You continue to review the folds. ”

"This time is different from An Qing's, Xiao Yi and An Qing are also different, besides, An Qing is still in An Mansion, he naturally doesn't dare to do anything to you, but this time you are going to the Prince's Mansion, no matter what, I will not let you go alone. Nan Lingye was very worried about her safety, everything was not worth mentioning compared to her safety.

"No, Ye Lang, you have more important things, you have to meet another person, and this person, only you can meet. ”

Hearing this, Nan Ling Ye narrowed his eyes, looked at her, and said, "You want me to go to see Emperor Sheng?"

"It seems that Ye Lang can't hide anything. An Ran said with a smile.

"Do you want to defeat Xiao Yi at once this time?" asked Nan Lingye with some uncertainty.

Looking at An Ran's appearance, she should want to do this, but this doesn't seem to be her character.

"Yes, I don't want to let him go this time. An Ran responded.

"Why, this doesn't look like yours. Nan Lingye said with a smile, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

An Ran sighed, then stood up, walked to the window and stood, looking at the scenery outside, her eyes were a little misty, and after a long time, she said quietly: "I'm tired." ”

A simple sentence, only three words, but it reveals too many thoughts.

Yes, she is tired, she does feel a little tired along the way, so many things have happened, so much has been experienced, she has done what she wanted to do, and she already has the ability to protect the people she loves, which is enough.

Nan Lingye quietly walked behind her, hugged her from behind, and wrapped her in his arms, "When you're tired, just rest in my arms for a while, everything is with me." ”

Nan Lingye can understand her mood and feel sorry for her, he understands very well that An Ran has come to this day, how much she has paid and how much she has endured.

He always hoped that she would stop paying attention to these things, and only wanted her to be in his arms, let him protect and care for him.

But she has her own ideas and goals, and he is unwilling to deprive her of her pursuit, so he does not stop her, but chooses to support her and help her by her side. One day, when she feels tired, she can give her a harbor to rely on.

An Ran leaned on Nan Lingye's arms, closed her eyes, and felt his breath and warmth, which made her feel very relieved.

"I know that no matter what time it is, Ye Lang will be by Ah Ran's side. ”

Nan Lingye didn't speak, but hugged her tighter.

After a long time, he spoke: "This matter will be handled by me, you don't have to worry, take a good rest at home." ”

An Ran shook his head, "Ye Lang will spoil Ah Ran again, according to what I just said, I will go to the Prince's Mansion, and Ye Lang will enter the palace to see Emperor Sheng, okay?"

Nan Lingye sighed helplessly, knowing that what she wanted to do was to do it no matter what, "Okay, I promise you." ”
