It is very difficult for a princess who has been stuffed and used by himself to leave the palace.

It is also not easy for a palace maid who came to serve the princess to leave the palace.

Scarlet Xue didn't understand how her master could be so confident in herself, so she gave herself this arduous task.

Well, actually, what she wants to say is: does the slave look like a stunned blue? It's worth throwing this hot potato to the slave.

Having said that, the master has a life, and she has to obey. What's more, the master's reason sounds sufficient: she misses the people of her hometown, no, the cooks brought by the old people...... Dishes made.

"But master, you can't get out, and the slave can't get out......" Scarlet Xue silently embarrassed in her heart, and opened her mouth with a bitter face, "Otherwise, you are copying books in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion now, and it is inconvenient to send a letter, so the slave and maid will write a letter for you and quietly send someone to General Lan, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Hanyu patted Scarlet Snow on the shoulder with great relief.

This girl seems to be a little dull on weekdays, but she is still very handy at critical moments.

The master and the servant were thus settled, and one returned to the scripture pavilion satisfied, and after tossing and turning all night, he got up early in the morning and sat down at the table.

The next afternoon, Lan Mozhi, who had been waiting outside the palace for many days, received a letter mixed with a few green silks. Of course, he wouldn't know how much hair Scarlet Xue, who didn't read much, lost in order to write this letter on behalf of Princess Mingning!

He only frowned slightly, shook off a few long hairs, flattened the letter and looked at it.

“……”

He knew that Xiao Hanyu would not give up.

It's just that, how could she be locked up in the attic?

Lan Mozhi twisted his eyebrows, in line with the idea of loyalty and patriotism, he thought that he could not let it go.

So, a few hours later, a letter of love requesting to meet the princess was sent to the prince of Nanshu.

Homesick? Bad appetite? He had just heard a report from someone below that the girl had eaten a big bowl of rice in one go, and had swept away two plates of vegetarian dishes.

However, this young envoy surnamed Lan was above board, and took the initiative to inform him of someone's behavior of sending a letter out of the palace without permission, and asked for his forgiveness.

This kind of thing, of course, Li Wujian will not care about the same woman. Not only did he not care, but he would also show his demeanor of Shu very well, and allowed Dongzan's envoys to enter the palace to visit their princess.

Besides, after drying them for so long, it's time for a while.

The news of the visit of the envoys of Xuandongzan, the prince of Nanshu, soon reached Lan Mozhi's ears. On this day, under the leadership of this little general Lan, the group entered the forbidden palace in a foreign country in a well-dressed manner, and respectfully met the prince of the East Palace who was about to inherit the unification.

The quasi-emperor's reception of envoys from other countries is nothing more than some scenes and entanglements of interests. After the two sides finished talking about business and reached an agreement, the topic immediately turned to Princess Heqin.

"When I entered the palace today, I specially brought a few cooks, and asked the emperor to meet the princess below, and finally asked the chefs of Zanguo to cook a meal for the princess."

When Lan Mozhi said this, his tone was flat, his face was expressionless, and there was no sadness or reluctance at all, but Rao was so, considering that this would indeed be the last time Xiao Hanyu would get together with his old acquaintances in his homeland, Li Wuzhi nodded on the spot.

So, here's the question: Her Royal Highness the princess is still locked up by your harem concubines in the scripture pavilion to copy books, this punishment period has not expired, will people let it go?

Regarding this point, Li Wujian almost didn't need to think about it, and directly waved his hand to take the person back to the dormitory from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

Xiao Hanyu, who was amnesty, knew that it had come to pass, and she happily ushered in a ...... The wooden-faced Lan Mozhi.

Xiao Hanyu has long been accustomed to this person's respectful and unsentimental attitude, but she has copied the scriptures for two and a half days, can't he give her a good face? !

The indignant girl couldn't help but wave a fist in the chest of the interlocutor, and at the same time did not shy away from confiding in the above heart.

Lan Mozhi took this blow without changing his face, but in the blink of an eye, he only sent away all the idlers and others, leaving him and the girl alone.

Xiao Hanyu was slightly stunned, and then his heart tightened: Could it be that he had already guessed something?!

Sure enough, when everyone was gone and the door was closed, she heard the man's concise and clear words of advice: "The princess's intentions, the minister has guessed a few points." The minister advised the princess not to make any more extraneous branches, stay here with peace of mind, and be the concubine of the prince of Shu well. ”

"I don't." It is conceivable that if Xiao Hanyu was persuaded so easily, it would not be the girl he had known since childhood.

Seeing the girl's resolute and serious expression in his eyes, Lan Mozhi sighed secretly.

"Princess, you are here to make peace, and you are shouldering the mission of helping the two countries to reconcile forever, and you should recognize your responsibilities for the country and the people."

He had never said such things to her, I don't know why, he just didn't say it.

However, at this moment, he looked at her stubborn face, thinking that this might be the last chance for him to talk to her in his life.

Immediately afterward, he unexpectedly witnessed the cold light of her eyes.

"I never thought about being a princess, and I never wanted to sacrifice myself to take care of the so-called 'big picture'. Lan Mozhi, you know, this qiē was not what I wanted from the beginning. ”

The man was speechless.

In her memory, she was always so innocent and imaginative, and rarely had such a strict and deep appearance, but the little girl who used to revolve around him when she was a child has finally grown up.

His Adam's apple rolled without a trace, but unfortunately, when it came to his mouth, he eventually swallowed it back into his stomach.

"But you are the princess of Dongzan after all."

When Xiao Hanyu heard him say this, she couldn't help but laugh.

"yes...... Just because that person ruined my mother's innocence, sixteen years later, I will have to clean up the mess for him. ”

Lan Mozhi's face froze: "The princess is cautious." ”

Xiao Hanyu chuckled to herself: "What I said is the truth. Lan Mozhi, you are not stupid, do you think that the 'friendship' obtained by selling your daughter can last for a long time? ”

Lan Mozhi was stunned, and then fell silent.

She's really grown up—or ...... In fact, she has always known it.

The man's eyebrows furrowed, and he rarely turned sideways, avoiding the girl's direct gaze.

"In this world, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends." He muttered.

"Look, what you think is actually the same as me." The girl shrugged her shoulders casually and paused, "But even so, you still agreed with his approach and personally sent me to Shu Kingdom." ”

There was not the slightest reproach or disdain in her tone, but it was precisely the calm tone that made the man's heart tighten.

The three words rushed to his throat in an instant, and Lan Mozhi moved his lips, as if he hesitated for a long time before he spit them out.

"I'm sorry."

By the time he said this, he had already refocused his attention on the girl with the usual complexion. He was stunned when he saw Xiao Hanyu, and then waved his hand involuntarily.

"I don't blame you. Anyway, if you don't send your relatives, you will be replaced by someone else, so it's better for you to accompany me, so the two of us are also childhood sweethearts. ”

Lan Mo was speechless.

"I understand, you have high ambitions, and I won't delay your future, but, Brother Mo Zhi, this time, you have to help me."

As soon as these words came out, the man had to withdraw from his lost feelings.

"I can't ......"

"I just need one medicine." The girl interrupted him without thinking, and a pair of apricot eyes stared directly at his pupils, "And, I will definitely wait for you to leave for China before I do it." At that time, whether I am dead or alive, you will no longer need to interfere. ”

Her expression was very calm, as if she was just discussing with him what to eat at night, but Lan Mozhi shuddered when she heard it.

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

"Fake Death Medicine. With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to get, right? ”

"You...... That's impossible! ”

Seeing that the man who had always been calm showed a rare look of shock, Xiao Hanyu couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't have time to be distracted.

"I only need one pill, and the rest doesn't require you to exert any effort. God knows this matter, you know it, I know, no matter whether the matter is revealed in the future, I will bear it with my own strength, and it will not affect your career. The girl said with a clear eye, but it did not make the man's face look as good as ever.

"No, I don't agree." Lan Mozhi turned his face away, and his hands clenched into fists.

"If you don't agree, then I can only die in this deep palace in a foreign country." However, the girl only shrugged her shoulders as if nothing happened, as if she was talking about a trivial matter of sesame mung beans.

When the man heard this, he suddenly stared at her, and his eyes were full of surprise: "With your temperament, you will judge yourself because you can't be free?" ”

Xiao Hanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied calmly: "You see if I will." ”

Of course, Lan Mozhi didn't believe that she would really do this, after all, she had always pursued the principle of "it is better to die than to live", how could she take the initiative to give up her life just because she was in the Forbidden Palace?

Just as he was thinking about how to refute the girl who was babbling nonsense, he saw that she suddenly retracted all her expressions, and said lightly: "Have you forgotten how I survived that autumn seven years ago?" ”

The man froze.

Seven years ago, he was fifteen and she was nine. At that time, the two of them were still living in a dilapidated compound, with many children of similar age, under the care of an old woman. Originally, although life was poor, it was also happy and fulfilling. Until one night, Xiao Hanyu, who was only nine years old, went out for a walk, but did not return on time.

Later, almost all of the older children followed their mother-in-law out to look for her. They searched for her for ten days, and finally found her in a green house in the next town.

At that time, the little girl was already covered in bruises and dying.

The mother-in-law who took care of them took it for granted that it was the old bustard of the Qinglou who beat her like this in order to make Xiao Hanyu give in, and the mother-in-law also told all of them the same.

Therefore, they who were eager to save people did not notice why there was a bleeding wound on the little girl's left wrist.

Drawing his mind from the memory, the man, who had grown up, watched as the girl lifted the left sleeve.

"Remember that? You and your mother-in-law have always thought that it was not cut by the people in the brothel, or that I had to do it to protect my innocence. Xiao Hanyu paused slightly, staring at the old wounded eyes and suddenly lost their former brilliance, "But actually, that day...... I just want to die. ”
