If the last time she saw Lan Yan, Lan Yan was only described as haggard and pale, then at this moment, she was like a thousand-year-old ghost who had been tortured in purgatory!

Not to mention the messy hair like withered grass, as well as the sallow and thin cheekbones cheeks, and the dirty clothes mixed with a trace of blood, all of which show how miserable and embarrassing the master's life is.

Su Ziran felt her heart tremble, not only that, but her legs were also a little soft, and her hands hanging on both sides were clenched into fists, faintly bursting out of green tendons.

Why is this happening!

Her heart kept roaring, this is the blue smoke that has been with her for seven years, and now she has only been away from her for less than a year, how could she suddenly become like this?

How could it be!

"Blue Smoke...... Blue Smoke ...... Is that you? "She didn't dare to confirm it, she didn't dare to confirm it at all.

Her blue smoke is so mature, steady, clear and moving, how did she become the person she is now!

The person on the other side, who had been stunned for a long time, seemed to have finally been awakened by her trembling voice, and his body shook violently, and suddenly he threw himself at her like crazy.

No one knew what Lan Yan, who was close to madness at the moment, wanted to do, and the man who arrived later inside the gate couldn't help but stiffen his spine, and subconsciously wanted to drag the woman standing with his back to him behind him to protect her.

He didn't know how to explain the relationship between the master and servant, he only knew that in the eyes of the woman, anyone who was even the slightest bit good to her would be remembered by her for the rest of his life.

In fact, she is really kind, on the surface, she will repay and refrain at all, but for the people she really cares about, she is kinder and more generous than anyone else. Now that Lan Yan is back, she will definitely open her heart to greet her, regardless of the reason or any external factors.

But he's different.

He was never a good guy and would not do anything that overflowed with compassion.

She was such an important person, so important that he would never allow any danger to exist by her side, and even he himself could not bear to hurt her for half a point, how could he let this uncertainty stay by her side?

After all, Lan Yan has been living in the Prince's Mansion for a year, and no one can guarantee what has happened in this year.

But Su Ziran only smiled slightly.

Without any retreat, not even the slightest hesitation, she slowly opened her arms and let the dirty woman on the other side lie in her arms, crying loudly.

At this moment, he hesitated again.

The footsteps that had already been picked up also stopped, and at the same time pressed the left shoulder of Su Lizhe, who was about to move forward, and shook his head gently.

He suddenly felt that no matter why Lan Yan came back, and no matter what Lan Yan's purpose was, he would do everything to protect Su Ziran and prevent her from being harmed in any way.

So, leaving the blue smoke behind the bento is to make her happy, right?

After all, Lan Yan is just a woman, how much storm can a woman make?

Even if she was really a fine work sent by the prince, as long as she could make the long-lost smile return to Su Ziran's face.

Thinking of this, his eyes froze slightly.

Turning his head, he whispered to Su Lizhe beside him: "I'm afraid your second sister won't have time to entertain you today, if you're not in a hurry to go back, go to your brother-in-law's armory to pick something convenient." ”

Su Lizhe was slightly stunned, and then his smile suddenly opened, and his whole body was dyed with a sunny and cheerful atmosphere.

Night.

In the steamy room, the candles are flickering, the incense is curling, and the woman with her eyes slightly closed in the wooden barrel is hidden in the warm water with rose petals from below the collarbone, and there are large and small scars snaking down from the collarbone, bent and ugly like dense earthworms, and the terrifying and dense scars on the body further down can be faintly seen.

Su Ziran rolled up her sleeves, rubbed a bath towel in her hand, trembling and didn't dare to stretch it out.

I knew that those wounds had already scabbed, but my hands were completely stiff as if they were out of control, for fear that I would accidentally break this body that was already as dilapidated as a dead leaf.

This is the first time she has bathed Lan Yan with her own hands, and Lan Yan used to take care of her, but unfortunately she has enjoyed Lan Yan's care for seven years, and she is also friendly to Lan Yan on the surface, but in fact, she has not done anything for Lan Yan at all!

Unexpectedly, this is the only time it is in such a situation.

She didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to ask what happened to Lan Yan in the past year, because she didn't want to reveal the scar on Lan Yan's heart again, but at this moment, she desperately wanted to know who the person who hurt Lan Yan like this was.

In fact, he vaguely guessed that it was Jun Luoyu, even if it was not done by himself, it must have been done with his acquiescence, after all, Lan Yan was his woman, and no one dared to hurt his woman behind the prince's back. But she didn't want to use Lan Yan as an excuse to seek revenge on Jun Luoyu because of this desperate prejudice, after all, she hated that person very much in her own heart - because of her personal vendetta, she hoped to hear the name of the beast from Lan Yan's mouth, otherwise it would only appear that she was prejudiced.

For a long time, she took a deep breath, not wanting Lan Yan to see her turbulent and disordered heart at the moment, let alone making Lan Yan feel that she was sympathizing with her.

The trembling palms clenched hard, and the wet cloth towel slowly covered the back covered with the scars of blue smoke.

At this moment, no matter what she asked about the past year, it would make Lan Yan sad, so she had to suppress the strong anger in her heart and pull the corners of her mouth.

"Lan Yan, that girl has been away from Rui Wang's Mansion for a while, do you want to meet her?"

Lan Yan couldn't see her face, so naturally she didn't know that her smile at the moment was completely pretended, but she still heard a hint from her voice-although she smiled, she couldn't suppress the trembling of her voice, and she couldn't suppress the thick bitterness and distress that emanated from it.

"Okay......" she nodded, choked in her throat, and called again, "Princess......"

adjusted her body slightly, compared to the crazy actions at the gate of Rui Wang's Mansion during the day, at this moment she has returned to her former mature and steady appearance, and nothing seems to have changed. Only Su Ziran knew that some things were still like this on the surface, but in fact, they could never go back......

She looked at Lan Yan, and Lan Yan also turned to look at her, and her raised eyebrows vaguely showed the clear and moving of the past.

"Princess, why don't you ask Lan Yan, what happened some time ago?"

Su Ziran was stunned.

She wanted to ask, she wanted to know, but she didn't dare ask.

Of course, she didn't expect Lan Yan to take the initiative to mention this matter.

"Blue smoke, if you don't want to say it, don't force it." She bit her lip and whispered.

Lan Yan watched as the movements in her hands continued, but her eyes were deep in her body, and the pain and anger in them were all fleeting, so fast that people could barely catch them.

"Princess, Lan Yan won't hide it from you, Lan Yan will tell you everything. In fact, these injuries on Lan Yan's body were all inflicted by the prince himself. He doesn't love Lan Yan at all, and the reason why he was with Lan Yan in the first place was just because...... Because it's fun......"

The matter of the Mingyou clan, she still didn't say it after all.

"Lan Yan already knows that the past is wrong, and it is too wrong, so no matter whether the princess is willing to keep Lan Yan and continue to serve by the princess's side, Lan Yan will not have half a complaint."

"Silly girl, have you forgotten what I said in the past?" Su Ziran's eyebrows frowned slightly, mixed with distressed gritted teeth, she paused word by word, "No matter when and where, where I am, it will be your home." ”

The blue smoke shook violently, and the hands hidden in the water trembled, but they were all covered by the ripples of the water under the rose petals.

After a pause, she was puzzled again: "It's just that, according to the prince's character, even if it is something you don't want, you will never let it go, why did he let you out of the prince's mansion?" ”

Lan Yan's heart shook because of her words, and instantly fell into a cold pool.

Anger, hatred, annoyance, resentment......

Thinking of the soft words that the man had spoken softly before letting her out, how glad she was sitting in the bathtub at the moment, otherwise, she would definitely not be able to support the weight of her body and fall to the ground.

His whipping and abuse were still in his ears, but even in the most critical moments, he tried his best to save her and the child in her womb.

It seemed that only he could do anything to her, and even Su Liuyue slapped her when she first found out that she was locked up, and was slapped back by the man. At that time, she naively thought that in fact, he still had a little place for her in his heart.

It was only in the end that he realized that it was just because Su Liuyue was nothing in his heart.

He is his thing, of course, he can only punish him, what kind of thing is she Su Liuyue, she can't challenge his authority!

It's just that this kind of recognition is too cruel, so she has been deliberately avoiding it.

In the end, even if she told herself again and again that she still loved the cold and charming priest, the shadow of that person in her heart would never linger no matter what.

Just because of that short-term warmth, she lost her life, and now she can't even see her own son!

Thankfully, she finally escaped from the man.

Even if she never saw the child again, she recognized it.

"Princess, in fact, the reason why he released blue smoke is just for the sake of the child."

"Kid?" Su Ziran's lips trembled slightly, her eyebrows twisted deeper, and a solemn emotion was reflected in her ink-colored pupils, "I thought the child was ......"

She also thought that the child was gone.

Since the children have already been born, why can't he look at the child's face and be kind to Blue Smoke?

Sighing heavily, she didn't want to listen any further, because she was sure that all the injuries suffered by Lan Yan were indeed caused by Jun Luoyu!

New hatred and old hatred, she will definitely not let that person run rampant for much longer!

As if he saw her thoughts, Lan Yan's eyes stared at her with a complicated color, and said with a wry smile: "The princess doesn't have to think about avenging Lan Yan, really, Lan Yan never values those vain things." I just want to be by the princess's side in the days to come, so that Blue Smoke will be enough. ”
