I never saw Huangfu Yan again along the way. He might have been chasing Nangong Xuan and the others in front of him. It was not until the convoy was only two days away from the royal city that Huangfu Yan returned to the convoy again.

"Ling'er! You're so smart! You've made me so hard!" Huangfu Yan said pitifully, jumped off his horse and wanted to give her a big hug.

"Dun!" Huangfu Yan was just dismounted and Nangong Ling pressed his feet on the shaft of the car. Nangong Ling said coldly, "We are not suitable."

"Ling'er!" Huangfu Yan shouted, wanting to struggle.

"We are really not suitable." Nangong Ling said, putting him down, riding the horse led by Abi towards the royal city.

"Nangong Yue, we're leaving. You can follow the Third Master and the others to the royal city." Abi said, riding her horse and chasing her.

Nangong Yue helped Huangfu Yan up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You two are really inappropriate."

"I know." Huangfu Yan said, getting on the carriage, thinking about something.

"Do you know you've been pestering her?" Nangong Yue also got on the carriage and asked.

Huangfu Yan suddenly gave Nangong Yue a very strange feeling. He was as unfamiliar as the Huangfu Yan yesterday, and suddenly became as unfathomable as an abyss.

"If you don't pester her, the distance between me and her will become bigger and bigger, until she and I become completely a stranger I once knew. Time will smooth out all the memories without leaving any left." Huangfu Yan said, taking out a small iron kettle from his arms and pouring it bit by bit. The strong smell of alcohol spread in the carriage, and he soon shaking it a little. It seemed that his alcohol tolerance was not very good.

"Will time wipe out all memories?" Nangong Yue didn't know why she was so uneasy after hearing this sentence, as if she was about to lose something very important.

"Wine is a good thing, which can make you forget all the pain for the time being. I like her, but I can't marry her. My marriage is politics, my existence is even politics. I can't resist. I am an illegitimate son, a minister in the court, and even my father are unwilling to admit my existence. The successor trained by the father is my sister, and I am their puppet. Even if I ascend to the throne, I am just an empty arsenal." Huangfu Yan couldn't bear to drink and was already drunk. He shouted, "What's wrong with me that can't help the mud on the wall?"

"Why do you have to belittle yourself so much? You are not as unbearable as you said." Nangong Yue had already seen that he was drunk and said.

"You don't understand, you don't understand." Huangfu Yan poured it down again, and the wine in the iron kettle was completely drunk by him. "Ling'er is the only person who treats me well besides his sister. I want to pester her. Even if I can't marry him, I still want to protect her. I'm just a mess of mud, but my identity is there, and I want to protect her, even if I'm bruised in the end."

"I understand. I won't tell anyone what you said today." Nangong Yue said.

"So what if I say it out? These things are not a secret among the ministers." Huangfu Yan shouted. He was already out of mind and smashed the iron pot in his hand outside the car. "I'm going to become a mad dog! Go and protect Ling'er!"

"I understand." Nangong Yue said, holding the shaking Huangfu Yan.

Huangfu Yan pushed Nangong Yue away and shouted, "If you dare to have any intentions against Ling'er, I will definitely not let you go! I am a mad dog."

Nangong Yue ignored him anymore, walked off the carriage and rode on his own horse.

"Are you really friends with her? Do you really know Ling'er?" Huangfu Yan's voice came out in the carriage.

Nangong Yue rode a horse and followed the convoy slowly, and the sky gradually became gloomy and it was about to rain.
