Xia Lan seemed to have never heard of it, she just stared blankly at the blank space on the wall, and after a long time, waved her hand.

Man'er and Mo Yi then bowed and retreated silently, and closed the door behind them.

In fact, when Xia Lan subconsciously asked the phrase "Where is the painting", she already thought of who took it away.

Nan'er, she is still angry with herself...

That's right, how could he not be angry, he finally dragged himself away from the cusp of the turmoil, but in the end, he returned to the turmoil on his own initiative.

On the next day, before the dawn of the East appeared, the sound of the door latch being loosened, followed by a low-pitched creak, a little man came out of the room, and immediately turned around and closed the door softly again.

I tossed and turned all night, and in the second half of the night, I finally fell asleep, but my sleep was very restless, my mind was in a mess, and many things were entangled, flashing back and forth, without a moment of peace.So much so that I woke up early, and didn't want to force myself to sleep again, so I simply got up.

A gust of wind passed by, and the body couldn't help shivering. It was getting deeper into winter, and the cold air in the morning was getting heavier. Today's clothes seemed to be too thin.

But Cen Nan didn't intend to go back to the house and wear thicker clothes, he directly closed the door, but when he turned around, his eyes unconsciously stayed on the door of the next room.

After a while, I just looked away, but the next moment, I almost didn't scream.

Seeing Mo Er who silently appeared in front of him like a ghost, Cen Nan didn't feel annoyed, but rather helpless.

"I just went for a run in the garden"

This person really, did he think that she was in a bad mood and was going to run away from home this early in the morning?He didn't say anything more, just walked around and ran away.

Ever since Leng Zongmu entered the drunken red building at night, Cen Nan did not practice martial arts with him again. Leng Zongmu had no intention of teaching, but more importantly, Cen Nan did not want to learn any more, so he resumed his daily morning jogging.

But today, after only five or six laps, Cen Nan felt that his chest was about to explode at any moment, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because he ran too fast just now, and the wind blowing into his lungs was too cold, or maybe it was because of the heavy burden on his heart, which made him uncomfortable.

Cen Nan had no choice but to stop, propping his hands on his knees, panting heavily, letting the beads of sweat roll down.

Until a gust of cold wind blew through his sweaty back, his body shivered uncontrollably. When he looked up, he saw a pair of gold-rimmed black boots.

He straightened up, "Cen Nan hasn't congratulated the lord yet, great joy", at the end of his speech, he lowered his head and made a bow.

The eyes that had always been majestic and domineering in front of others, but gentle and affectionate in front of Xia Lan, have now changed into deep and dark eyes, and they only flashed when they heard what Cen Nan said.

"Lan'er will worry about you"

Cen Nan looked at this unshaven man who seemed to have aged decades overnight, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and he said slowly, "You promised me."

Leng Zongmu raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at the person in front of him for a while, "It's cold in the morning, and it's easy to get wind and cold. Go back to the house, Lan'er will be worried."

This completely irrelevant answer completely angered Cen Nan, who had been holding back all along.

"You! Cough, cough..."

The lungs, which were already uncomfortable, coughed violently due to the excitement, causing the originally pale face to flush abnormally.

Seeing Cen Nan who was coughing like he was about to be out of breath, Leng Zongmu raised his foot and wanted to step forward, but Cen Nan stopped him first.

"do not come!"

The footsteps stopped suddenly, but Cen Nan didn't even look at him, and walked past him.

Even though he knew that Leng Zongmu was being plotted against, he still... could not forgive him.

Three people become tigers, and people's words are terrifying. It was hard to prevent Xia Lan from being hurt by those rumors, but when this happened, the situation was reversed instantly. Xia Lan changed from a victim to an evildoer, and the real evildoer But turned into a victim.

Yesterday he didn't have dinner at all, and he couldn't sleep well all night. After running like this, and getting excited, Cen Nan felt that walking was like stepping on clouds, a little light.

The road twisted and turned, and finally came to the door.

Just as I raised my hand to push the door open, I heard a creak before my hand touched it.

The outstretched hand just stopped in mid-air, Cen Nan turned his head, and saw the strand of white clothes standing quietly in front of the next door.

But I haven't seen him all night, there is a dark blue color looming under the beautiful eyes, and there is also a trace of unhealthy white on the red lips, and his expression looks a lot haggard, but seeing Cen Nan, he raised his usual A gentle, loving smile.

Cen Nan only felt that his eyes seemed to be drenched with vinegar, and he was sore and unbearable. He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak.

"It's cold in the morning, Nan'er needs to wear more clothes"

As if he knew she would be wearing thin clothes, he prepared the coat in advance.

Cen Nan looked at the coat draped over his shoulders, then turned his head, and looked at Xia Lan who was wiping the sweat on her forehead with silk, all kinds of emotions surged in his bright black eyes.

"sorry"

"sorry"

As soon as the words came out, Cen Nan was stunned, and Xia Lan said the same thing to her almost in unison.

Reaching out and gently brushing away a strand of short hair sticking to Cen Nan's forehead, Xia Lan's smile was shallow but extremely gentle.

"So, Nan'er forgive Sister Lan, okay?"

sorry?How come I'm sorry? !Where is she sorry for herself? !That is the choice of the person in front of him.

Cen Nan should have known that since Xia Lan asked Leng Zongmu to marry his concubine again, it would be impossible for him to obstruct him again when "the matter is imminent". .

Since she opened her mouth, she must have foreseen everything early on, what she will encounter and what she will face, and she must have thought about how she will deal with herself at that time.

Perhaps, the only unexpected one is myself.

And since he wants to marry another woman, Ning Ruan is indeed the most suitable candidate in comparison.

Not to mention that Ning Kai is an official in the court to the second rank, and his power in the army should not be underestimated, but Cen Nan seems to have a double heart for Leng Zongmu. The Pingnan Palace is already feared by the emperor. , the situation of the Pingnan Palace is bound to be even more difficult, but if the two families can get married, the Pingnan Palace will not only be free from the enemy, but also get a lot of help.

Therefore, this move in the Pingnan Palace, in the Leng family, and in the Leng Zongmu, is really beneficial.

And since Cen Nan can think of these things, how could Xia Lan not understand...

Since she is willing to do this for the one she loves, what can Cen Nan say as an outsider.

It's just that although I can understand it, I still can't accept it deep in my heart, so that's why it happened like that yesterday.

But the moment he turned around, Cen Nan regretted it. After all, Xia Lan was the one who was hurt the most and suffered the most. All the sadness and sadness are hidden in places where others can't see them.

And instead of saying anything to comfort him, he made him even more sad and sad...

His vision gradually became blurred, Cen Nan couldn't help lowering his eyes, and then suddenly said, "I'm a little hungry".

Xia Lan smiled softly, "I have asked someone to prepare food, it will be ready later, let's go back to the room and wash up first."

Cen Nan nodded slightly, and then let Xia Lan lead her into the room.

After carefully wiping Cen Nan's face, neck and hands, "Does your body feel sticky, do you want to take a bath?".

"No, just wipe it off." At the end, as if thinking of something, Cen Nan immediately added, "I'll do it myself."

Xia Lan only smiled, and then ordered someone to carry the copper basin behind the screen.

After Cen Nan washed and changed his clothes again, he came out, the morning food was already set on the table, and Xia Lan was sitting by the table waving to her.

Cen Nan walked over and just sat down beside Xia Lan when a bowl of porridge was placed in front of him.

"I didn't eat anything last night, let's have some porridge first."

However, after eating a few spoonfuls of porridge, he found that the people around him did not move, so Cen Nan couldn't help but look up.

"I'm not hungry"

Hearing this, Cen Nan frowned a little, aren't you hungry?How is it possible? !She wasn't the only one who didn't eat anything last night.

Seeing that Cen Nan stopped what he was doing, he just looked at her with a frown and didn't speak.

"Sister Nalan, let's eat with Nan'er."

In the end, Xia Lan only ate half a bowl of porridge, and Cen Nan knew that he had no appetite, so he didn't force it.

Man'er led people to pack up the things. Cen Nan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Lan who was drinking tea elegantly. The tiredness could not be concealed between his brows and eyes, and his brows were unconsciously frowned.

Jumped off the stool, grabbed Xia Lan's catkin and walked out. Xia Lan was only stunned for a moment, then raised her heel to go up.

Cen Nan led Xia Lan all the way out of the room, turned left, pushed open the door next door, then dragged her all the way into the inner room, and finally stopped in front of the bed.

He let go and raised his head, but his eyes didn't meet Xia Lan's, "I'll come back after Master finishes teaching."

After saying that, without waiting for Xia Lan's reaction, she turned around and left.

Xia Lan looked at the person who was walking faster and faster unconsciously, a slight smile appeared in her worried eyes.

study

Before the master came, Cen Nan was sitting behind the desk, flipping through a volume of books in his hands, but his eyes didn't know where to look.

"Sister Lime"

Qing Ning, who was waiting outside, heard the sound and quickly walked in, "What are your orders, miss?"

Cen Nan raised his head, "Please trouble Sister Qing Ning to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

"Here"

There seems to be a saying that goes like this, "When you are in a bad mood, it will be better to eat some sweets".

When Qing Ning bought the things back, the master hadn't finished today's lecture, so he waited outside, and only went in to answer after the master left.

Cen Nan said hard, and asked Qing Ning to put the things on the plate, while he got off the ground and straightened his clothes.

She looked up and glanced at Qing Ning who was busy, "Sister Qing Ning just went to the street, did you hear something?"

It was obvious that he paused for a while, but he said, "Never".

Obviously not the truth, Cen Nan guessed that she must have been called by Xia Lan last time, and was told not to talk nonsense in front of her, so she didn't plan to press her again.

After all, Qing Ning's reaction just now has actually explained everything, and it must be as I expected.

As soon as the news that Leng Zongmu will marry Ning Ruan into the mansion came out, the so-called "Miss Ning's family failed to support King Pingnan, so she maliciously slandered Princess Pingnan" was considered "no It breaks itself."

Cen Nan didn't even need to think about it, he knew that Ning Ruan would definitely stir up trouble behind his back and point the finger at Xia Lan again.

"Give me the things." Cen Nan took the plate of cakes from Qing Ning, and quickly adjusted the expression on his face, "Sister Qing Ning, don't follow, I'll go by myself."

Cen Nan walked to Xia Lan's door with the pastry, raised his hand and knocked lightly, and then walked in.

Just when he was about to enter the inner room, he saw Man'er who was coming out to welcome him. After Cen Nan nodded and called him, he went straight into the inner room.

Going around the screen and looking up, I saw Xia Lan sitting sideways on the couch, with her head down, fumbling with her hands.

"Sister Lan"

While calling out to Xia Lan, the steps on his feet did not stop, and then he saw clearly what Xia Lan was holding.

It was a painting...a painting that Cen Nan tore up and threw away last night.
