Chapter 172 Breathless
Inside the palace, Chao Yan was in low spirits.
After Qi Binwei came to power, she sent people to invite Nukhadir into the palace. She knew that she would never be able to leave the palace again.
If you want to go back to Kongsang, it will only become more and more difficult.
Nukhadir was a careless man and had no idea what Chaoyan was thinking. Seeing that she was unhappy, he walked up to her and took out some small toys to amuse her, but she just smiled slightly, and still sat there looking at the sky without saying a word.
"What's wrong with you? Tell me. If you want to go out and play, why don't you just tell that man?"
This is how they went out when they were at the Fifth Prince's Mansion before.
When Chaoyan heard this, she sighed in her heart and felt a little envious of Nukhadir. When he traveled, he did not meet his beloved, nor did he experience love.
It’s also good that you haven’t experienced the same thing as her and have always kept a pure mind.
"You think too much. I'm not unhappy, but there are some things I don't understand. My identity is different now, and I can't go out at will. Nook, he trapped me here."
Chao Yan said helplessly.
Nukhadir sat beside her, not quite understanding what she was saying. "If you want to go out, I can take you with me. Just like before, we can go to the forest together, and when the time comes, we can go back."
"Go back?" Chao Yan lowered her eyes. "Maybe I can still go back."
"Empress, Prime Minister Song's daughter Shen Jiayu comes to ask for a meeting and is waiting outside." A person dressed as a palace maid came in to report.
When she heard that Shen Jiayu was coming, her eyes lit up instantly.
Nukhadir also looked over with anticipation.
"Let her in quickly." Chao Yan's voice was filled with joy.
Under the guidance of the palace maid, Shen Jiayu entered the Yikun Palace and met the lifeless Chao Yan.
Shen Jiayu bowed respectfully, "Shen Jiayu greets Her Majesty the Queen."
She bent her knees slightly and before she could finish the greeting, she was helped up by Chao Yan.
"There's no need to be like this between you and me. Are your injuries feeling better? I want to see you, but..." There was guilt in Chaoyan's eyes.
After she knew the news, she wanted to go out to see Shen Jiayu, but Qi Binwei would not let her go out. She could not see Nukhadir either, so she could only wait in the house. Finally, she came to the palace.
Although Shen Jiayu was helped up, their identities were different, so they still had to observe proper etiquette.
Chaoyan brought Shen Jiayu into the room. Nukhadir and others were waiting outside so that no one could disturb them.
"Let me take a look at you, you've lost some weight." Chao Yan looked Shen Jiayu up and down.
"The queen has lost a lot of weight, and seems a little unhappy."
She was happy when she saw Shen Jiayu for the first time, but the happiness soon passed and a look of sadness appeared on her face again.
Chaoyan nodded. She could express her emotions in front of Shen Jiayu and Song Qinghong. Now that only Shen Jiayu was around, she could be even more casual.
The rules of Yunli Kingdom were suffocating for her, but she had to obey them.
She doesn't like it.
"I don't like it here, I want to leave." Chao Yan said what was in her heart.
Shen Jiayu knew what she was thinking at this time, and also knew what she was struggling with. "But the queen can't leave. Nukhadir can take the queen out, but the palace is so big that he will get hurt. The queen can't bear it, so she didn't tell him what she was thinking, right?"
Hearing what she said, Chao Yan felt a sore nose and hummed in silence.
"It was wrong for him to come to me. I feel guilty about him. If he gets hurt because of me, I will feel even worse. Besides, I am not afraid that you will look down on me if I tell you this. I still have him in my heart and it is difficult to make a decision."
Shen Jiayu has never been in a relationship, but he has read a lot of information and watched a lot of movies and TV shows. He also drew some reference when writing the novel. There is indeed such a passage.
Chaoyan was conflicted. She wanted to return to Kongsang, but she was worried about Qi Binwei. In the end, she was so heartbroken by Qi Binwei that she went back in despair.
"I understand your majesty. If you can't see through your own heart right now, just accept it." Shen Jiayu took her hand and comforted her carefully.
Chaoyan felt much better. After all, she had to see things clearly and make her own decisions.
Even she herself couldn't figure out this matter, let alone others.
"Thank you. By the way, after I knew you were injured, I found some time to make some medicine. It should help your injury. Take it." Chaoyan searched in her room for a while and found a white bottle with pills in it.
Chaoyan placed her hand on Shen Jiayu's and continued speaking slowly.
"It's just that I was angry before and didn't want to pay attention to him, so I didn't ask him to send it to you. Fortunately, you are here now, and I can hand it to you personally."
The white jade bottle was cool and a little heavy. It contained a lot of pills, which were Chaoyan's concern for her.
Shen Jiayu didn't know what to say, and in the end could only say thank you with a grateful heart.
The world in the book is abnormal, and she can't do anything to disrupt the direction of the plot in the book. At least the story of the male and female protagonists is still normal, and their line must continue well.
"Although I don't know everything between Your Majesty and His Majesty, I can see that His Majesty is still very good to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please don't be sad." Shen Jiayu comforted her with a few words.
"Let's not talk about these things anymore. Come with me for a walk." Chao Yan stood up, took her hand, and pulled her out the door.
There are many rules in the palace, but nothing fun. Chaoyan and Shen Jiayu didn't have much fun because there were palace servants everywhere.
The time had come for Shen Jiayu to enter the palace to see Chao Yan. She reluctantly said goodbye to Chao Yan and walked out of Yikun Palace. She couldn't leave yet.
Qi Binwei summoned her.
Shen Jiayu was walking on the road, not knowing what kind of medicine Qi Binwei was selling.
In the imperial study, there were fewer memorials on Qi Binwei's desk, which showed that he was a diligent emperor. Even when someone came, he read the memorials very seriously.
It was not until Shen Jiayu was brought to him by the palace servants that he put down the pen and took a rest.
"Have you seen her?" Qi Binwei raised his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Jiayu, "How is she?"
Shen Jiayu bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"The Queen was a little depressed. After dinner, she went to the Imperial Garden for a walk. The Queen's mood has improved a lot. She is resting now. I wonder what your Majesty wants to tell you."
She didn't have much contact with Qi Binwei, so she wasn't sure what Qi Binwei was thinking, not to mention the awakening of the characters in the book.
Now she doubted everyone in the book and everyone she came into contact with.
