Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 663: Untitled -

"We must have just left Nanzheng State." Xing Yu glanced outside, "Are you curious about how they are here?" Xing Yu knew what the young man was about to ask, and moreover, the young man’s guarded expression was not hidden at all, even the look he gave her was cautious, but Xing Yu was pleased and didn’t mind these things.

"They—" Yin He looked at Xing Yu, suddenly asked, "Did they go to Nanzheng State?"

Xing Yu was startled, she hadn’t asked that indeed, yes, why would Nanmen Yu appear in a place belonging to Nanzheng State, wasn’t he supposed to be in Nanmen State? She seemed to vaguely remember hearing something about Nanmen State. It appeared that the situation in Nanmen State was also quite complex, with various forces interwoven and chaotic.

"I don’t know, when I met them, it was in the mountains where Nanzheng and Nanmen intersect, you told me before you lost consciousness... Then, they took me along toward the Western Border." Xing Yu, simple-minded, was now annoyed that she couldn’t answer the young man’s question, wondering why she hadn’t thought of this.

"Was it in Nanmen State’s territory or in Nanzheng State’s?" Yin He continued to inquire.

Xing Yu thought seriously, Yin He had taught her how to determine whether they had reached Nanmen State; she had seen a long boundary marker in the forest only after encountering Nanmen Yu.

"It must be in Nanmen State," Xing Yu declared.

The young man sighed with relief, finally feeling reassured, as long as it was within Nanmen State’s territory, that was fine.

Seeing the young man relax, Xing Yu’s expression also loosened from its earlier tension, yet she didn’t know why she had lied. However, the guilt of lying did not lessen any bit, Xing Yu lowered her head, vaguely aware of what Yin He might be worrying about.

"Now that you are awake, maybe we should separate?" Xing Yu suggested, Nanmen Yu fancied the Empress, Yin He fancied the Empress, these two meeting wouldn’t be good.

"No need, just continue with them," there was a carriage, no worries about food, why would he leave. More importantly, when the guard’s energy entered his body, he distinctly felt it, and indeed, the guard had revived him, so, having such a benefit, why should he leave?

"But—" Xing Yu was still a bit worried.

"Xing Yu, don’t be afraid, I am here, we’ll play it by ear," Yin He whispered.

The campfire in the camp was leaping, and after the previous upheaval, Nanmen Yu no longer felt like sleeping and was now sitting not far from Xing Yu’s tent by the campfire. Though his eyes were closed, the feet he was warming by the fire tapped rhythmically, reflecting his thoughts.

His first thought upon meeting Xing Yu was to take Nian Ru back to Nanmen State, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

Moreover, the way Xing Yu looked at Yin He also led him to guess something.

Nian Ru was dead, in the chaos, Xing Yu was not killed, so she must have been coincidentally saved by Yin He. That was the only explanation for Xing Yu and Yin He being together.

"King, now that that man is awake, should we not let Miss Xing Yu stay in a tent alone?" A guard beside him, having held back for a long time, began to ask. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Almost everyone could see that Nanmen Yu placed great importance on Miss Xing Yu, but now, the Miss Xing Yu so highly valued by the King was sharing a tent with another man, which infuriated everyone.

They had arrived a step too late, causing such sorrow to the King; now, when there was finally a chance for remedy, yet...

Nanmen Yu opened his eyes and glanced at his own people.

"No need, she may not agree," and besides, it was just a momentary thought; now that he calmed down, even he found his own ideas ridiculous, it was simply...

Seeing this, the guard wanted to say something else, but Nanmen Yu had already stood up, looked at the night, and noted it was late, they had to continue their journey tomorrow, there was still time for another sleep.

The next morning, just as Yin He had anticipated, before setting off, Nanmen Yu still sent the guard to check on Yin He’s injury, using the same method as yesterday to allow Yin He’s organs to breathe, but this relief didn’t last long, a few Shichen later, the blue smoke would be completely consumed, so the guard could only use the same method again to keep the young man awake.

The guard came out and went straight to Nanmen Yu.

"How is it?" Nanmen Yu asked coldly, but then, Nian Ru was already dead, those things no longer had meaning.

But Yin He was alive, and for Nanmen State, it was now time to consider other matters.
