Since Nie Yan set off from Qingya County, the road has been calm.

Half a month later, Nie Yan finally returned to the capital after a five-year absence.

"Princess, do you think that's Xuandemen?"

On the carriage, Wan Hui lifted the corner of the curtain, pointed to the red wall in front of her, and said excitedly to Nie Yan.

Xuande Gate is where officials walked when they went to court.

Back then, Nie Yan's father had also stepped into this palace wall more than once.

Nie Yan thought of her father, ignoring Wan Hui and Su Yun's excitement about coming to the capital for the first time, and immersed herself in memories until the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Princess, it's getting late, please stay at the post house for one night, and I will escort the princess into the palace at the end of tomorrow."

Su Qingyu's voice came from outside the carriage.

Nie Yan looked at the sky, it was already dusk. According to the rules of the Chu State, foreign envoys were all to meet the emperor together in the early dynasty.

It's just that there is only Nie Yan left in the Nanzhan Mission, and the Chu State will not let women go to the court, so how should they arrange themselves?

Nie Yan shook her head, not thinking about this problem that did not belong to her, and was helped out of the carriage by Su Yun and Wan Hui.

The post house in the capital is not far from the Xuande Gate, so that the emperor can summon him at any time.

The people who usually come and go to the post house are also officials of the Chu State and the envoys of all parties. It shouldn't be too much of a problem in terms of safety.

Su Qingyu himself is a general of Sanpin Yunlu, and his father is a hussar general, so he naturally has a mansion in the capital. But after all, Su Qingyu was not worried that Nie Yan was alone in this strange post house, in addition to leaving a team of soldiers, he also planned to live in the post house, but before that, he had to go to the palace to return to the emperor.

Su Qingyu saw Nie Yan get out of the carriage, and under the veil, Su Qingyu could only see Nie Yan's watery eyes.

Maybe it was such a pair of watery eyes, the moment Su Qingyu saw Nie Yan, he had feelings that he had never had before.

Seeing that Su Qingyu was distracted, Nie Yan shouted suspiciously, "General Su? ”

Su Qingyu came back to his senses and said, "Princess, please settle down first, and then enter the palace to report to the emperor." ”

"Then there will be General Law."

Nie Yan bowed slightly.

Su Qingyu explained a few words to his subordinates, and then went in the direction of Xuande Gate.

Nie Yan looked at Su Qingyu's distant back, her expression was complicated, this General Su didn't seem to be quite right.

"Princess, shall we go in?"

Su Yun said.

Nie Yan nodded, although it was dusk at this time, and there were not many people coming and going on the street, it was not good for her current identity to stay on the street for too long after all.

Stepping into the post house, a special reception came to the post house and asked, "May I ask if you are a noble person from Nanzhan?" ”

"Exactly."

Without waiting for Nie Yan to speak, Su Yun replied first.

Nie Yan looked at Su Yun in surprise, it wasn't that Su Yun had done something wrong, it was not enough for a mere Yicheng to let a princess of a country answer.

She was surprised that Su Yun could take on the role of the princess's personal maid so quickly.

is neither humble nor arrogant, compared to Wan Hui, there is too much momentum.

Nie Yan thought for a moment, and Su Yun negotiated everything with Yi Cheng.

After all, there are some backgrounds, Nie Yan faintly feels that Su Yun can be a big responsibility.

As the princess of Nanzhan, Nie Yan's treatment is naturally not low, and several independent courtyards in the post house are dedicated to receiving such valuable female guests.

In order to avoid suspicion, the guards left by Su Qingyu were guarding outside the courtyard, and there were only three Nie Yan masters and servants in the courtyard.

In the room, Nie Yan untied her veil, revealing her beautiful face, Wan Hui was waiting for Nie Yan to bathe, and Su Yun's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Princess, Yi Cheng sent someone to say that she needs a slave to go and choose dishes for the princess." ”

When will the post house in the capital even have a menu? Need someone to go in person?

However, Nie Yan was already exhausted after a long journey, so she didn't think about it deeply, she just thought that it was a foreign visitor, and the treatment was different.

"There you go."

Nie Yan stepped into the tub and replied absentmindedly.

Su Yun's footsteps went away, and Wan Hui also lowered the curtain in the bathroom and stood outside the curtain by herself.

Nie Yan squinted her eyes and took a nap, wondering if the room was too steamy, and felt a little dry, so she ordered: "Wanhui, bring a cup of tea." ”

A cup of tea soon appeared in Nie Yan's hand, Nie Yan subconsciously took it, took a sip, but still felt dry mouth, and was about to hand the teacup back and order another cup, but suddenly noticed that the hand that handed the tea to herself was not the same as Wan Hui's!

The tiger's mouth of these hands is full of calluses, such calluses, Nie Yan has seen it in the hands of her father, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and in the hands of her eldest brother, who has been practicing knives all year round!

Nie Yan paused when she handed over the teacup, and subconsciously wanted to protect the spring light on her chest, but she found that she suddenly lost her strength, and the teacup in her hand quickly slipped down, but it was caught smoothly by the hands without making a sound.

Nie Yan's consciousness was also a little blurred, and the tension in her heart was self-evident, she never expected that in the case of guards, there would be gangsters mixed in!

"What's wrong, little beauty? What are you afraid of? Afraid of me? ”

A flirtatious male voice hit Nie Yan's ears, followed by a man in a night robe and a black scarf masked into Nie Yan's eyes.

Nie Yan has no strength at all, how can she not know that there must be a problem in the tea?

Nie Yan endured the consciousness of wanting to sleep, bit the tip of her tongue hard, forced herself to wake up, and finally asked, "Who are you?" If I want to rob money, my jewelry is in the outer box. ”

She's going to stall for time, and Soyun should be back soon.

Although the man in black was masked in a black scarf, Nie Yan could see the smile in his eyes, as if he was laughing at Nie Yan's careful thoughts.

"What do I want your jewelry for?" Wouldn't you be more valuable? Don't you think you're as good as those jewelry? The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, let's not waste time. ”

After saying that, the man in black picked up Nie Yan from the bathtub without saying a word, and Nie Yan wanted to shout for help, but she knew she couldn't.

If she alarmed the guards outside, she might be saved, but her reputation would be completely ruined, if so, let alone overturning the case for her father, it would be impossible to even enter the palace!

Is it just like that......

Nie Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, the man in black had already put her naked on the chaise longue, and the man in black had already taken off his shirt, revealing a vigorous figure, and the most conspicuous thing was the wolf tattoo on his left arm.

Wait a minute...... Blue wolf?

Nie Yan suddenly remembered the king of the grassland mentioned by her father, the sworn enemy of the Chu State, the Khitan Yelu clan!

As if to confirm Nie Yan's guess, the man in black also removed the black scarf from his face, revealing a face in his twenties, and Nie Yan confirmed his guess even more.

Before the person in front of him could make the next move, Nie Yan called out the name of the man in black: "Yelu Nanxiu!" ”
