This palace is from modern day 2

Chapter 257 is too much
He said nothing, but pursed his lips coldly.

"Your Majesty, don't you think it's too much to force me like this?"

"The people I can protect are limited." He looked at me apologetically.

"Then... why didn't the Supreme Emperor assign Yanran to the people you want to protect?" I know I was expecting too much, but under such circumstances, I still want to refute him.

How can you be so selfish.
To him, am I that humble?
He was silent, and I knew I couldn't hear the answer, so I turned and left.

I can't tell him that even though I have the courage to quarrel with him, I don't have the courage to bear the consequences of my persistence.

His sentence that made people in the world accuse Nan Gongchen of being unfilial is my Achilles heel.

I can't let Nangongchen bear such infamy because of my selfishness.

The footsteps were heavy, and when they returned to Fengming Palace, the Empress Dowager still hadn't woken up, Yiyi and the others were all sitting outside the hall with serious expressions.

That's right, the imperial doctor has already given the final order, and the empress dowager will not have a long life.

Seeing me coming back, they all looked up at me, "Yanran..."

"Ye, where did you and Yanran go?" Yiyi looked past me and looked at Nangong Ye.

Nangongye, who was still frowning just now, heard Yiyi's voice, and immediately seemed to be a different person. He stepped forward, took her hand, and said softly, "I just chatted with Yanran."
I raised my head and glanced at Nangong Chen, who looked at me worriedly.

I suddenly feel that our love is very fragile, perhaps, after all, we are too young.

Young enough to have only one love, but unable to protect it.

Nan Gongchen said that he is no longer the same as when he first took the throne, but, I want to say, he is still the same as he was then.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Yiyi frowned, her words were full of worry.

That's right, the Empress Dowager has always loved her very much, but when I thought of the time when the Empress Dowager forced her to agree to concubine Nangong Yena, my heart suddenly became clear.
