Just like that, a few figures suddenly appeared in the forest.
As if hearing the movement, the person standing by the stream suddenly turned around, and the person next to her waved her hand, and then, the person blocking Xie Wu suddenly disappeared into the dark forest again.
middle.
"Girl." Seeing Xie Wu standing still, Suiyu couldn't help but lower her voice and called Xie Wu.
Xie Wu glanced at Suiyu, and finally walked towards the creek.
As Xie Wu got closer and closer, Xie Wu finally recognized the man standing by the stream through the bonfire beside him.
Princess Ning'an.
"Yao Yao?" Princess Ning'an called Xie Wu tentatively. Seeing Xie Wu startled for a moment, she curved her lips and smiled, and then said, "Still, you want me to call you A Wu."
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and blessed Princess Ning'an, then raised her head and answered her, "Princess, please call me A Wu!"
Although it is no longer the past life, Xie Wu still resists those two words.
Princess Ning'an also noticed the slight resistance in Xie Wu's eyes. She chuckled, and then said in a soft voice, "It seems that you have guessed who gave you those two words."
Xie Wu's eyebrows moved. She looked at Princess Ning'an and didn't know how to respond to her words.
"Ah Wu, what do you think of A Zhan?" Seeing Xie Wu lowering her head and saying nothing, Princess Ning'an couldn't help but smile and asked again.
But this...
Xie Wu still didn't know how to answer.
What does she think of Lu Zhan?
Hate? Hate? It seems like neither...
From the beginning, she simply wanted to avoid him.
She didn't hate him, at least not later on.
Seeing that Xie Wu frowned and remained silent for a long time, Princess Ning'an did not rush her. She just stood aside quietly and looked at her tenderly.
To be fair, Xie Wu was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. However, although she was beautiful, she did not have any frivolous, arrogant or extravagant air about her. She even had a faint feeling of coldness and alienation.
"Princess, why are you asking me these questions?" Finally, Xie Wu spoke.
She looked up at Princess Ning'an, her charming face looking calm.
Although Princess Ning'an gave her a lot of warmth in her previous life, it was not clear how much she liked her.
In her previous life, she stayed by Lu Zhan's side as a concubine. Although Princess Ning'an didn't look down on her because of this, she just didn't look down on her. She had other choices for her daughter-in-law, but she didn't know why Lu Zhan never looked down upon her.
Agree, then the matter of getting a wife was postponed, and he did not get a wife until Princess Ning'an died of illness...
Thinking of this, Xie Wu suddenly remembered that Princess Ning'an asked the maid to pass it to her when she was dying. When she saw her, she smiled and stretched out her hand to her, her eyes filled with begging, but before she could hold her hand, she
With her fingertips, her hand dropped.
At that time, when she called her over, she must have something to say to her?
But, what was she going to say to her?
But Princess Ning'an did not answer Xie Wu's question. She smiled softly at Xie Wu, and then said in a soft voice, "Awu, do you know why I followed you to the autumn hunting?"
Xie Wu shook her head.
Indeed, although everyone knows that Lu Zhan's mother is Princess Ning'an, except for those senior feudal lords, few of the younger generation have ever seen Princess Ning'an.
She rarely shows her face in front of people.
But this time she came with Qiu Shou. Even Emperor Zhengxuan was surprised when he heard the news and rewarded her a lot. He even called Princess Ning'an to ask a few words before setting off.
Seeing Xie Wu shaking her head, Princess Ning'an smiled again and said, "Of course it's because of A-Zhan, A-Wu, I don't have much time left..."
"Princess..." Xie Wu felt a sense of sourness in her heart.
The situation when the former Princess Ning'an passed away suddenly resurfaced before her eyes, and in her ears, Lu Zhan's desperate and helpless roar seemed to follow her.
"You don't have to feel sad or pity me. People have to die. Compared with those people, my life is really long and a bit scary..." Princess Ning'an looked at Xie Wu, and a trace of joy suddenly appeared in her slender phoenix eyes.
Xie Wu cannot understand the sadness and desolation.
"Those people?" Xie Wu frowned, and Princess Ning'an looked over with some confusion.
"Yes! Those people..." Princess Ning'an looked at Xie Wu with a smile, seemingly answering her question, but she didn't seem to say anything.
Looking at Princess Ning'an's gentle but tearful eyes, Xie Wu finally stopped asking any more questions.
Maybe she was referring to Lu Zhan’s father!
She remembered that Lu Zhan's father seemed to have died from an arrow during the quelling the chaos. At that time, Lu Zhan seemed to still be in Princess Ning'an's belly.
But, that’s not right either!
those people……
Should it refer to more than one person?
"I have always wanted to have someone to watch over A-Zhan for me. The person I originally wanted was Princess Xiao of Zhennan Palace, but A-Zhan came to me and told me that he has taken a fancy to you."
Speaking of this, Princess Ning'an's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light when she looked at Xie Wu.
"Princess, I, I..." Being looked at by Princess Ning'an with such eyes, Xie Wu suddenly felt a little helpless.
If she hadn't said those words to her before, maybe she wouldn't be as clueless as she is now and wouldn't dare to respond directly to her words, but now...
"Look at your appearance, why don't you like A Zhan?" Seeing that Xie Wu was at a loss, Princess Ning'an chuckled, lowered her head and came to Xie Wu, and said to her in a brisk tone.
"I...I..." But even if Princess Ning'an changed the question, Xie Wu still didn't know how to answer.
She said she didn't like Lu Zhan? But she allowed Lu Zhan to break into her boudoir again and again at night? But she said she liked Lu Zhan...
Has she fallen in love with Lu Zhan?
"I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know..." At this moment, Xie Wu just felt that her heart was like a mess. She couldn't sort it out no matter how hard she tried, and her brain was also extremely confused.
Things from her past life and this life kept flashing through her mind.
The arrogant Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan, whose eyes were red because of her scheme, seemed to want to kill her.
Lu Zhan, who rubbed her ears and temples together in the dark night.
Lu Zhan holding her in his arms in winter.
Lu Zhan, who knew she had no child, held her hand and cried, his eyes red.
Lu Zhan approaches her cautiously after rebirth.
Lu Zhan said in Ou Xiang Pavilion that he liked her.
But no matter what kind of Lu Zhan he was, he was deeply engraved in her mind, and she had never forgotten him!
Xie Wu was shocked by her thoughts, and she took two steps back in disbelief.
"Ah Wu, what are you doing..." Before Princess Ning'an could finish her words, she saw tears suddenly welling up in Xie Wu's eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Girl." Suiyu also noticed that something was wrong with Xie Wu, and she quickly rushed over to help her.
She just brought the girl here on the princess's order. It was obvious that the princess didn't say anything, but why did the girl...
"Awu, is it...is it Azhan who bullied you?" Princess Ning'an frowned slightly and asked Xie Wu tentatively.
Xie Wu shook her head.
Princess Ning'an breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled at Xie Wu, and then said to her gently, "Then, is it A Zhan's behavior during this period that has troubled you?"
Xie Wu pursed her lips, but still didn't speak.
"It's true that Ah Zhan can be so rude to girls, but don't blame him. It's the first time he likes a girl and he really doesn't know what to do to please her." Princess Ning'an said to Xie Wu with a smile.
.
Under Princess Ning'an's gentle gaze, Xie Wu finally regained her composure.
"Princess, why are you telling me this? We have never met before?" Xie Wu looked at Princess Ning'an and finally asked the question in her heart.
Just like Princess Ning'an said just now, the person she likes is obviously A Qing.
Even if Lu Zhan said something to her, at most she would not object to Lu Zhan's decision, but to speak for Lu Zhan in person was to a person she had only met once. She felt that this was not like Princess Ning'an.
temperament.
She has always been a very thoughtful person.
Otherwise, she would not care about the eyes of others and comfort such a humble concubine.
"Yes! Obviously we have never met each other, but Ah Wu, I felt that you were very kind the first time I saw you. I always feel as if I have seen you before somewhere." At this point, Ning said
Princess An suddenly tilted her head and looked at Xie Wu carefully.
Xie Wu was startled, and when she was hesitating whether to say something or not, Princess Ning'an's gentle voice suddenly sounded again.
"I remember, you look like the same person..."
Xie Wu frowned slightly and looked at Princess Ning'an curiously.
"You are like me." As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Ning'an's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.
"Like...like you?" Xie Wu was even more surprised.
"Yes! Like me, the me back then..." A bright smile suddenly appeared on Princess Ning'an's lips. The smile was like fireworks blooming in the dark night, one after another, making her face bright and bright.
, However, tears kept rolling down from her eyes. At first it was just a drop, but after a while, more and more tears fell. As the smile faded, she suddenly squatted down and covered her face, sobbing.
stand up.
"Princess." Nanny, who had been standing not far from Princess Ning'an, heard the noise and ran over quickly.
Xie Wu also hurriedly took two steps towards Princess Ning'an.
However, just when she reached out to help Princess Ning'an up, the old nanny suddenly raised her hand to stop her.
The old nun also had tears in her eyes. She looked at Princess Ning'an who was squatting on the ground holding her head and crying softly. She said, "Let the princess cry. Just let her cry. She has been crying for a long time."
I’ve never cried before…”
After hearing what the old grandma said, Xie Wu was stunned.
Above the head, the cold moon is like a hook.
Xie Wu looked at Princess Ning'an, who was sobbing and sobbing with her arms folded. For some reason, she suddenly remembered a lot of herself from the year before...
Back then, she was like her, and could only hide in a dark corner, hugging herself and sobbing.
