This palace is from modern day 2

Chapter 373 What am I to you?
"Yanran, are you... sure you want to do this?"

I don't know if it's my illusion, I think he is suppressing something, and there is... sadness in his words?
"Nangongchen, I... the wizard is innocent." I couldn't find an excuse for a while, all I knew was that I couldn't let the wizard be taken away now, no.Even for Qi Qixu's sake, Nangong Chen couldn't be allowed to arrest the wizard, otherwise, the result could be imagined.

Nangong Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then opened them slowly, "Zheng Yanran!!"

I shrank my shoulders, I understand his anger, but now I really can't give in, "Nangongchen, I will explain the matter to you."

"That's enough, explain, explain what, explain that you and him...have a different relationship?"

I shook my body, I couldn't believe that he would say such a thing, the sadness in my heart welled up, Nangong Chen, even after going through so much, your trust in me hasn't improved a little, has it?
So, what can I say?

I twitched the corners of my mouth, showing a wry smile, "Let's just treat it like this."

He looked at me bitterly.
I am not unfamiliar with this kind of eyes, just now the wizard looked at me like this.

But now, such eyes are from Nangong Chen, I feel my heart is getting cold...

"Catch him." He ordered again coldly.

"If you want to catch him, just step over my corpse." I picked up the dagger on the ground, put it on my neck, and looked at Nangongchen, "Nangongchen, just let me beg you, let the wizard go." 
... No one spoke, and the bedroom was filled with sadness and anger.

There was pain in his eyes that couldn't be concealed, "Yanran, to you, I...what am I?"

I calmed myself down, but my body still couldn't help trembling slightly, Nangong Chen, to me, what are you, don't you know?
