Chapter 271: A man in his fifties

The next day, Nan Yan hid in Shang Baosi again.
Although I didn't have a good rest here, at least Du Siyao couldn't come to her troubles. Without her harassment, I would get better day by day.
However, in the evening, Jian Ruocheng came again with the imperial edict.
Nan Yan is a little strange, and there are not so many imperial edicts to affix the seal, but after hiding here in the past two days, the imperial edicts have increased.
Jian Ruocheng looked at her still pale face and said, "Are you still not well?"
Nan Yan smiled, "Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a silky silk. How can it be so easy to get better."
However, the fever has subsided a lot, and she has some energy.
But in Jian Ruocheng's view, she was still haggard.
It seems that every time she sees her, she never had a good time. The first time she came to Jian’s house, she fainted in front of her. Later, on the way to Yongzhou, she fainted again due to heatstroke; in Yongzhou Camp In the middle of the world, they were taken into captivity to the camp of the Yue State, causing all their injuries.
Finally returned to the palace...
Nan Yan was about to take out the key to open the cabinet to get Yuxi, but suddenly saw him looking at him with a solemn expression, and whispered, "Master Jane? What are you thinking?"
"you--"
Jian Ruocheng suddenly looked up at her.
Nan Yan also looked at him with wide eyes.
"..." Jian Ruocheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Nan Yan, have you ever thought of leaving?"
"go away?"
"Yes, leave here, leave the palace."
"Leaving the palace..."
"Yes, palace ladies are selected every few years, and released every few years. Besides, if you are a female official, if someone intercedes for you, or if the emperor offers mercy, you can leave the palace."
Suddenly hearing such words made Nan Yan slightly surprised.
But she quickly shook her head: "I, never thought about it."
"why?"
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while before he said softly, "Although I don't like it here, but if I leave here, I will go home."
"Go home, isn't it good for you?"
"..."
Nan Yan glanced at him again, as if he couldn't tell.
But Jian Ruocheng was so sensitive that he immediately noticed something: "Your home—"
Nan Yan gave a bitter smile, and said, "Master Jane's family is very harmonious, so there may be some things that you don't understand too much. My family--"
"..."
"Let's put it this way, the reason why I agreed to enter the palace is because if I don't enter the palace, the aunt will marry me."
"..."
"A man in his fifties."
"..."
"Be a concubine."
Jian Ruocheng's face sank.
Nan Yan lowered his head and said softly: "Old Jian also knows his father, and he also knows that his father passed away very early, and no one in the family can call the shots for me."
"..."
"So, as a Shangbao female officer, at least there is something to do, and I still have a little salary every month. I am already very happy."
"..."
"If you send me back--"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly: "I don't know what my destiny can be."
Jian Ruocheng could not speak.
Nan Yan also knew that his family background was very good, and his family’s population was harmonious. He was a rare scholarly family. It was naturally hard to imagine the kind of intrigue in his family.
It's even harder to imagine how I grew up when I was young.
The two fell silent.
I don't know how long it took, Jian Ruocheng suddenly said: "If - you are out of the palace, don't you go home?"
