Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 666 - 637: First Update
Xing Yu, upon hearing this, looked at Nanmen Yu. Even you could see the sincere feelings that Yin He held for Her Majesty. But Her Majesty...
Xing Yu didn’t know what to say. She had a favorable impression of Nanmen Yu, perhaps he really...
The next moment, Xing Yu looked up. Maybe if the Monarch of Nanmen State had come to terms with it. Yes, after all, Her Majesty did save Nanmen Yu’s life, it was a life-saving grace.
"Monarch of Nanmen State, when you went to Nanzheng, you had already seen our..." Xing Yu began to ask, but before she could finish, Nanmen Yu’s eyes darkened, and he nodded slightly.
"Indeed, I have visited Nian Ru’s grave." Nanmen Yu’s voice choked, unable to continue, but he was also eager to have someone to share his pain, someone who knew that past memory, and who could talk with him about that person.
Xing Yu, still not recovered from her moment of self-moved sentiment, was shocked by Nanmen Yu’s statement and rendered speechless, staring at him wide-eyed. What grave?
She wasn’t by Her Majesty’s side, what happened to Her Majesty...
"Indeed, she died very wrongly. Originally, you could have saved her, and I could have saved..." Before Xing Yu could start speaking, a young man’s cold voice suddenly came from behind her. Xing Yu immediately turned to look at the young man.
"It’s not..." Xing Yu immediately began, What happened to Her Majesty? Is Her Majesty dead?
"Yes, I didn’t kill her, but it was my negligence that led her into such peril," the young man immediately added, his expression full of regret.
Nanmen Yu’s momentary suspicion was immediately drowned out by the young man’s words, lost in an endless sea of remorse and self-blame. Wasn’t he the same... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
If it wasn’t for their presumptuous assumptions, thinking that the strife was far removed from her, believing that during a conflict, he would gain better bargaining power, this is what caused Nian Ru to die.
Xing Yu immediately tried to stand up, but the young man was already holding onto her hand tightly.
"I’m well aware of my own illness, whether I can live is up to fate; there’s no need to beg for help on account of this matter," the young man said coldly, dragging Xing Yu away as if angered by her recent plea to save him.
Nanmen Yu seemed to understand the young man’s feelings even better than the young man himself. If it were him, having been injured and seen Nian Ru die before his eyes, he too would have no desire to continue living.
"Yin He, what did you say..." Xing Yu softly began, only for her words to be overwhelmed by Yin He’s violent coughing. Xing Yu immediately closed her mouth, patting the young man’s spine gently, which seemed as if it might break through his back’s skin and protrude at any minute, as if a little more force would poke it through.
"First, help me back to the carriage—" the young man looked at Xing Yu.
Though Xing Yu didn’t want to return, seeing Yin He in such a state, she could only first help him back to the carriage.
"Yin He, why have you come out?" As Xing Yu spoke, her heart was still in turmoil, primarily because Nanmen Yu’s words had unsettled her. What happened to Her Majesty?
"Come back to the carriage with me first." Yin He glanced at the guards around them; some of their provisions came from Nanzheng State, confirming his suspicion that Nanmen Yu had already been to Zheng Capital.
Why he returned empty-handed also seemed to have a reason—grave?
It was hard for Zheng Congyuan to come up with such a conclusive solution, effectively eliminating any future problems. If it had been him, he would naturally do the same. With things settling in his mind, Yin He’s thoughts became lively once more. Having one less Nanmen Yu was certainly better than one more; he naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to tell Nanmen Yu the truth of the matter.
"But, it’s warmer inside the cave—" Xing Yu mumbled.
"We’ll go there later." Yin He didn’t bother with further conversation with Xing Yu. As soon as she got on the carriage, he immediately closed the carriage door, carefully checked the surroundings for anything unusual, and then began to speak softly.
"You must never tell Nanmen Yu that your mistress is alive," the young man said immediately.
Xing Yu stood there, stunned...
"The Monarch of Nanmen State said..."
"If you were Zheng Congyuan, what would you do?" Yin He looked at Xing Yu, asking in a cold voice.
Xing Yu opened her mouth. If she were Zheng Congyuan? Crown Prince, oh, The Emperor, she wouldn’t let Nanmen Yu take Her Majesty away herself.
"But..."
"Can Nanzheng match Nanmen State’s strength head-on as of now?" Yin He didn’t wait for Xing Yu to speak, and immediately asked again.
Xing Yu was gradually beginning to understand.
"Yin He, you mean, all this is to deceive the Monarch of Nanmen State?" Xing Yu asked uncertainly.
"What else could it be? This is the most effective solution, one that also eliminates future threats," Yin He declared.
