Originally, he only wanted to tease Su Mu'an , but he didn't think that this boy could give him any decent answer.

But when Su Mu'an spat out such words, Ye Hongjian was stunned for no reason.

Before she could regain her senses, a few breaths of sound came from behind her.

"Well said." The voice said.

The two people on the roof were stunned. They all turned around and saw a woman dressed in yellow robes gently landing in front of them like an exiled immortal.

"Sister Keqing?" After seeing that person's appearance, Su Mu'an involuntarily cried out in alarm.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Hongjian, on the other hand, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.

At that time, Qin Keqing, or Yuwen Nanjing, smiled helplessly. She stretched out her hand and gently lifted Ye Hongjian's kneeling body. He said, "How many times have you said it? There's no need for this red tape between us."

However, Yuwen Nanjing's kindness did not receive the response she wanted.

"There's a difference in honor and inferiority. Your Majesty's favor, Hongjian, is appreciated." After saying that, Ye Hongjian stood up.

Su Mu'an , who was pure-minded, did not notice the subtle atmosphere between the two of them at that time.

"But Sister Qing, why are you here?" As he asked, the smile on his face was genuine, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

"The palace is bored. It's the New Year's Eve. I don't even have a single person to speak to. After thinking about it, I secretly ran out to look for you." Yuwen Nanjing smiled and sat down beside the two of them. Then, he patted the two roofs beside him and signaled for Ye Hongjian and the other two to sit down as well.

Naturally, the two of them had no reason to disobey.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Lu and Prime Minister Zhang are leading officials to kneel outside Pu Tian Palace. Why are you free to come here?" Compared to Su Mu'an, Ye Hongjian was not so easy to fool. She sat beside Yuwen Nan Jing and asked with narrowed eyes.

"It's their business to kneel. I can't stop them." Yuwen Nan Jing did not care about this. She sat on the cornice of the roof, her jade feet floating in the air. She leisurely swayed back and forth, but she raised her head to look at the night sky that was constantly blooming with fireworks. She smiled and said, "Since they like to kneel so much, then let them kneel down forever."

As she said this, Yuwen Nanjing's face still had that iconic smile that belonged to her.

Warm, elegant, as warm as spring sunshine.

However, at that time, the inexplicable Ye Hongjian felt as if she was in the Nine Nether Purgatory, and her heart went cold. She suddenly felt as if the Yuwen Nanjing in front of her was a different person. Although it was still the same as before, it made her somewhat unfamiliar.

"Are they doing this for that scoundrel Zhu Xian?" Su Mu'an took the conversation and stared at Yuwen Nan Jing with her eyes wide open. Her eyes were filled with confusion and confusion.

"Yes." Yuwen Nanjing was surprisingly calm as she nodded. "They don't want me to push Zhu Xian into the court."

"But Zhu Xian is indeed a bad guy. He killed my father .." Su Mu'an 's expression became strange as he said this. With his personality, he obviously didn't know how to face Yuwen Nanjing, who seemed to be standing on the same side as Zhu Xian.

"Of course I know he's a bad guy." Yuwen Nanjing smiled and stretched out his hand, stroking Su Mu'an 's confused head. "But Little An'an, don't you still have the ability to kill him?"

"I can't kill him, but I cultivate every day. Very soon, I will personally avenge my father!" Su Mu'an clenched her fists and said.

"Then when the time comes, can Big Sister Qing help you?" Yuwen Nanjing said.

This attitude confused Su Mu'an for a moment, and she couldn't understand what Yuwen Nanjing meant.

'"Of course Zhu Xian is a bad guy, but what about Mr. Lu and Zhang Xiang? They forced your big brother Xu away and almost killed him. Aren't they good people? Before you kill Zhu Xian, lend him to elder sister. Elder sister will let you see a good show of dog bites dog." Yuwen Nanjing said in a relaxed tone, and he didn't forget to blink at Su Mu'an at the end.

"Is that so?" The puzzlement on Su Mu'an's face grew a little heavier, but out of trust in Yuwen Nan Jing, and because he really couldn't find any mistakes in his words, the boy nodded in the end.

Seeing this scene, Yuwen Nanjing smiled and said, "Little An'an is the cutest. I'll buy you sugar gourds tomorrow."

..

The three of them chatted for a while on the roof of the main hall of the Tian Ce Mansion .

Perhaps it was due to their tacit understanding that Yuwen Nanjing and Ye Hongjian did not mention the matters of the court, so Su Mu'an naturally could not mention them. The atmosphere between the three gradually rose, and only after the fireworks had burned did the three of them walk down from the roof.

Su Mu'an went back to rest alone, while Ye Hongjian found a reason to send Yuwen Nanjing away.

..

Walking in the middle of the night, but because of the New Year and still people to and fro on the streets.

The atmosphere between Yuwen Nanjing and Ye Hongjian was somewhat silent.

"Are you really prepared to attack Mr. Lu and the others?" After a hundred breaths of time, Ye Hongjian was the first to break the silence between the two of them.

"Naturally." Yuwen Nanjing replied confidently and briefly.

Hearing this, Ye Hongjian frowned. "They saved you. They pushed you onto the throne of this emperor .." She tried to persuade the other party, but her words were interrupted.

" Hongjian " The girl in yellow robes said softly, and her smile was like the spring breeze blowing willows. "You know what, I've always envied you before."

"Huh?" Ye Hongjian was stunned, obviously she did not understand what the other party meant.

'"You can stay by Young Master Xu's side all the time, as if you can read each other's meaning with just a single glance. I envy this tacit understanding. I feel that your hearts are connected and that you are a natural pair." There was a faint smile on her face as she stated all of this in a calm tone, making it difficult for people to hear what she was thinking in her heart at this moment.

"But now, I think I'm wrong."

Yuwen Nanjing turned his head and looked at Ye Hongjian.

She was still smiling, but there was something different in the corners of her lips and curved eyebrows.

It was a condescending gaze, and it was also a pity from the soul.

"You don't understand him at all."

"We just want to be who we want to be. This kind of thought has nothing to do with our origins, our bloodlines, our souls."

"How about the royal family? How about the Eternal Emperor? This has never been what I wanted! What is the rule that we must accept gifts imposed on us by others? And we still need to be grateful for this?"

"I am Qin Keqing, not Yuwen Nanjing."

"I want to live according to my will. Anyone who tries to change this is destined to be my enemy!"

As the girl spoke, blood suddenly shone in her clear eyes.

Scorching bright red, aggressive.
