Chapter 36: He is different

The two walked into Nan Yan's room and sat down at the table. Nan Yan poured a cup of tea to her.
Xia Yunting took a sip of tea before saying, "That night, the rebels--oh no, after King Yan’s troops entered the palace, some people also broke into Dongyuan and they killed many people. At that time, we all thought I can't live anymore. Fortunately, someone came to pass the word that it was His Royal Highness that King Yan had ordered that they were not allowed to kill in the palace anymore, and we only got our life back from the knife."
Nan Yan stopped, thinking of what happened that night, she also broke out in a cold sweat.
Xia Yunting said: "Later, they locked us up. We were locked up for a few days before we were released today."
"Did you say why you let you go?"
"This, we don't know."
Xia Yunting said softly: "I am also worried about you these days. Ji Ren Tianxiang, Nan Yan, you are finally fine."
Nan Yan held her hand tighter.
Although the two hadn't seen each other for a few days, they had experienced such an earth-shaking event in the middle, which was no different than seeing each other in a separate life.
The two talked for a while, and Xia Yunting looked around again, and then said: "By the way, why are you here alone? Haven't you been locked up in a prison like us?"
Nan Yan shook his head and said, "I, I was disqualified as a slave, and now I am serving by King Yan."
"King Yan?"
Xia Yunting was stunned for a moment, and Nan Yan hurriedly said, "But, I didn't do that kind of thing, and we are not in that kind of relationship!"
Seeing her anxious look, Xia Yunting smiled and said: "Of course I believe you. If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have said anything like that just now. However, are you safe to stay with King Yan? I heard— -King Yan can kill people without blinking."
Nan Yan was silent for a while and said, "I'm fine."
"..."
"Actually—" Nan Yan thought of Zhu Feng's killing of Chen Fu in the Huagai Dian, remembering what happened last night, and muttered in a daze: "The King Yan is also different from what everyone thought."
"..."
"He is different."
Xia Yunting looked at her with his eyes wide open, with a look of surprise and disbelief. Nan Yan returned to his senses and said hurriedly, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about me."
Xia Yunting looked at her for a while before nodding gently.
Both of them were silent for a while, and heard Xia Yunting sigh softly and said, "Unexpectedly, we would encounter such a thing."
Nan Yan was also a little confused: "Yes."
"..."
"I remember that day, I was sent to bed, and you cried."
"..."
"Obviously it was only a few days ago, now that I think about it, it's like something from the previous life."
"Last life..." Xia Yunting's eyes dimmed slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, I still remember when you told me that if you were a man, it would be fine. You can decide your own business for yourself. It’s a pity—"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, that was just a delusion."
Xia Yunting sighed: "What is the use of a prostitute daughter like us, even if it becomes a male body? Prostitute, isn't it the same?"
Nan Yan said: "I am not even as good as the daughter who was born."
"..."
"Not a slave, I'm afraid those people in my family will be even more--"
"Nanyan..."
