"You're going to have to be extra careful these days." Shui Ningyan frowned slightly.

"Miss, what do you mean ......?"

Lime and the others' faces changed, their young lady had always expected things, and now that they said this, they thought that Miss had expected something.

"As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is always wrong to be careful." Shui Ningyan said lightly.

She has always disdained to participate in the intrigue of the palace, but she didn't expect to get involved in the fight wherever she went, and it was really providence.

"Miss, the slave knows."

While the master and servant were talking, a palace maid came to report, "Water boy, the king has come up." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shui Ningyan looked up and saw Dongfang Lie walking in.

"I've seen the king." Lime and the others stepped forward to ask for Antao.

"Get up." Dongfang Lie entered the hall and sat down casually.

"Miss, the slave and maid have retired first."

Lime cast an ambiguous look at Shui Ningyan, and then retreated with He Shou and Ruofeng, and before leaving, the three girls made a cheering gesture to her. Shui Ningyan was speechless for a while, I really don't know what the three girls were thinking about all day.

"Ningyan, what are you thinking?" Dongfang Lie called twice, and Shui Ningyan came back to his senses.

"Oh, it's fine." Seeing the exhaustion that Dongfang Lie's eyebrows couldn't hide, Shui Ningyan said with concern, "Dongfang Lie, such a big person doesn't know how to take care of himself. Well, seeing that your eyes are full of liver fire, you must have not been sleeping well recently, Miss Ben will prescribe a prescription for you later, and take care of it. ”

Listening to the nagging voice of the water condensation, Dongfang Lie only felt a warm heart, but he didn't expect this woman to know and care about him.

"Ning Yan, I wonder if I have a chance to drink the plum tea you mentioned earlier?"

"Meilu tea?" Shui Ningyan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "The other party is considered to be blessed by you, this time I brought some plum dew tea." I'm going to make you tea. ”

"Okay."

Dongfang Lie sat there lazily, his fingers rhythmically tweaking the armrest of the sandalwood chair while staring at Shui Ningyan's busy figure. At this time, he only felt that all the fatigue in his body had been eliminated, and a warm current passed through his heart.

"Alright." Shui Ningyan put the brewed tea in front of Dongfang Lie, and said, "Dongfang Lie, I heard that which concubine in your harem is sick, why didn't you come to me instead if you didn't take a look?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Lie's original good mood disappeared in an instant, and his handsome face was extremely heavy.

"Shui Ningyan, what do you mean, you don't welcome this king to come to you?" Dongfang Lie's voice at this moment was as cold as a knife.

Today, Concubine De's father-in-law came to report that Concubine De's lingering sickbed has not improved for several days, and he has been very busy in the past two days, so he ordered the doctor of the Tai Hospital to treat Concubine De well.

"Ahem...... Dongfang Lie, look at what you said, Miss Ben doesn't mean this, this is your palace, you naturally want to come. ”

Shui Ningyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, she couldn't figure out what was going on with Dongfang Lie at all, turning her face was faster than turning a book.

Hearing Shui Ningyan say this, Dongfang Lie's face softened a little, his eyes turned lightly, and when he saw the fragrant mist of tea on the table, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip elegantly.

The unique fragrance of plum blossoms instantly lingers between the lips and teeth, making people have an endless aftertaste. This is probably the best tea he has ever drunk in his life, and perhaps the most important point is because of the tea maker.

"This king really regrets the deal he made with you at the beginning, and now this king is sitting on thousands of miles, but he wants to miss you."

Dongfang Lie's eyebrows were lowered, staring at the plum petals as white as snow in the tea, and his voice revealed a touch of loneliness that was difficult to ignore.

"Dongfang Lie, you're talking nonsense again. Once a decision has been made, there is no choice. Moreover, the people of Nanyue have respected you as a god, and under your leadership over the years, the country of Nanyue has been peaceful and peaceful, which means that you are a good king of Nanyue. Some people are destined to come to this world with a mission from the moment they are born. As the king of a country, your responsibility is to save the people of the entire Nanyue country, so that they can live a worry-free life, and the love of children is really not suitable for you. ”

"Water condenses smoke, won't this king accompany him to get love?" Dongfang Lie snorted coldly.

If it was placed in the past, Shui Ningyan would have been very shocked that Dongfang Lie put forward the word "love", in the past, Dongfang Lie only regarded women as tools to warm the bed, and now he would say such a thing, which is really surprising.

"Born in the family of the emperor, the first thing is to inherit the throne, and you are a born king, so only you are suitable to carry this burden. It is your glory to grow up in the family of the emperor, but it is not a sorrow, because this life is destined for you to not be able to choose the life and love you want......"

"Heh, everyone else is envious of being born in the royal family, but I didn't expect you to have such a unique idea, Ning Yan, you are really a special woman." Although her idea is unique, it has to be said that she is right.

"Everyone's pursuit is different, some people pursue worry-free food and clothing, prosperity and wealth, some people pursue supreme power, and some people pursue ordinary life. I used to know Dongfang Lie, he is a man with great talent and ambition, but now I can't see your ambition in your eyes, and I don't know whether such a change is good or bad for you. Shui Ningyan said lightly, and then sighed lightly in his heart.

Now she only sees a king from Dongfang Lie's body who is trapped in the love of his children and cannot extricate himself. Such a king, although it may seem a little more humane, is not necessarily a good thing for him and the whole country.

Seeing the look of worry flashing in Shui Ningyan's eyes, Dongfang Lie's heart warmed, and he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Shui Ningyan, you can rest assured, this king will definitely be a good king." ”

As long as he can see this woman's concern and concern for him, he is already satisfied, because he really likes him, so he will not force her in emotional matters. He is willing to get along with her as a confidant all the time.

"Okay, Dongfang Lie, Miss Ben believes you." Shui Ningyan smiled brightly, she knew that Dongfang Lie would definitely want to open it.

"Okay, it's not too early, you hurry up and rest, and this king won't bother you." Dongfang Lie glanced at the sky outside the window, and then spoke.

"Okay, you can rest early, too. I'll send someone to deliver the prescription when it's ready. Shui Ningyan smiled and nodded.

Dongfang Lie took two steps and suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked to Shui Ningyan, took out a gold medal and handed it to Shui Ningyan, and said: "You take this well, seeing the card is like seeing this king." ”

Shui Ningyan took the gold medal, only to see that one side of the gold medal was carved with intricate patterns, with the word "South Vietnam" written in the middle, and an eagle carved on the other side. The people of Nanyue admired the eagle soaring in the sky, and now when they saw this gold medal, Shui Ningyan thought that Dongfang Lie must have given her a good thing.

"Dongfang Lie, you are ......" Dongfang Lie handed her such a gold medal in a good manner, there is definitely a reason for it.

Sure enough, the next moment, Dongfang Lie pondered for a moment and said: "That groundwater irrigation measure is very good, but this king is afraid that those executive officials below will only deal with it perfunctorily, so he plans to go to the drought in person early tomorrow morning and urge them to implement groundwater irrigation." ”

When Shui Ningyan heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "How long will it take?" ”

"It can be as short as seven or eight days, and as long as half a month." Dongfang Lie replied.

"Well, remember to be careful. By the way, do you want me to come with you? ”

Dongfang Lie shook his head and smiled: "No need, this time you are here to play in Nanyue Country, originally I, the host, should have entertained you well, who wants to have these tricky things happen at this juncture, I am already very sorry if I can't accompany you, how can I let you go to such a barren place." ”

"Well, since you said so, Miss Ben will stay here and wait for your triumphant return." Shui Ningyan smiled slightly.

She just said that, on the way to Nanyue, those drought-stricken places were desolate, and sometimes she couldn't see an inn for a day, although there were constantly harassed concubines in the harem for the past two days, but she was serving with delicious food and drink here, compared with the two, she naturally felt that it was better to stay.

Seeing the look of water and smoke in his eyes, Dongfang Lie said with a smile: "This king knows that you just said it casually, but fortunately, the conditions in the disaster area are bad, and this king really doesn't want you to suffer this crime." ”

His heart was poked by Dongfang Lie, Shui Ningyan suddenly coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said weakly: "That Miss Ben thinks it's better to stay, my body has been relatively weak recently, so it is not a big sin to drag you down on the way to the time when I go with you." ”

Bad excuses, it really can't be any more bad excuses, Dongfang Lie slandered in his heart. But after thinking about it, he was really reluctant to let this woman suffer with him, at the moment, he pondered for a while, with a trace of solemnity on his face, "You have to put away the gold medal, remember, seeing the card is like seeing the king, if someone in this palace wants to be unfavorable to you, you can use the gold medal to deal with it." Protect yourself first. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shui Ningyan suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he didn't expect this Dongfang Lie to be so thoughtful. Even if she didn't have this gold medal, if someone dared to disadvantage her, she would definitely not spare the other party. But with this gold medal, it's really like a tiger with wings.

At that moment, she smiled and said, "Dongfang Lie, don't worry, Miss Ben has never been a loser!" If anyone dares to disadvantage me, I will pay back a hundredfold! ”

"Good!" When Dongfang Lie heard this, his heart suddenly felt a lot more stable.
