"Huh? How can my eldest brother be like this? For a ......" Princess Lanxin was shocked when she heard it, she originally wanted to say that for a woman, she turned her face with her father, and she didn't even want the country that belonged to him. But she suddenly thought that this woman was Su Junchu's sister, and she didn't dare to say it too ugly in front of Su Junchu, so she had to change it halfway: "...... He really has a deep affection for Xiaorou. ”

Su Junchu didn't pay attention to Princess Lanxin, his eyebrows were slightly locked, as if he was thinking about something.

And Princess Lanxin was also a little stunned by this sudden news, Li Mo wanted to take Su Xiaorou out of the palace, which was too unexpected for Princess Lanxin. Her heart was filled with all kinds of indescribable complicated feelings for a while.

After thinking for a while, Princess Lan Xin said, "No, I have to go to see the queen mother and the emperor." How could you let the eldest brother leave like this? He is gone, who will be the crown prince in the future, and who will inherit the throne in the future? Second Emperor Brother? Brother of the Three Emperors? It's not quite right. I'm going to persuade my father! ”

Hearing Princess Lan Xin say this, Su Junchu had an almost mocking smile on his face, and said lightly: "Then you should go quickly, and persuade your old-hearted father and emperor to keep the crown prince." If it weren't for Li Mo, I'm sure he would have lost more in the future. ”

Princess Lan Xin, who was immersed in extreme surprise, didn't bother to savor Su Junchu's words, and said, "I'll go over and take a look now." And he hurriedly stepped out of the door.

As soon as Princess Lanxin left, Nian Nian hurriedly ran in.

She heard Su Junchu's words just now, and she had been thinking about Xiao Rou in her heart, and she was uneasy outside, when she suddenly saw Princess Lanxin leaving, so she hurriedly seized the opportunity and ran in.

Seeing Nian Nian coming in, a trace of dizziness flashed in Su Junchu's deep dark eyes.

He stood up, but didn't speak, just looked at Nian Nian quietly, as if he wanted to wait to see what she was looking for him to do when she came in.

Nian Nian walked in front of Su Junchu, pointed at himself, and made another writing gesture, meaning to ask if he could write a few words to him.

Su Junchu smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that you can write." So, come with me. ”

Nian Nian nodded, and followed Su Junchu to the study of Xinhe Palace.

Su Junchu spread out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and put it in front of Niannian: "Whatever you want to say, just write it here." ”

Nian Nian held the pen and wanted to write directly how Xiaorou is now? But I was afraid that Su Junchu would suspect that she was a new palace maid, how could she know Xiaorou's name?

She thought for a while, picked up the pen and wrote down the word "prince", and put a big question mark on the back.

"You care about the prince very much?" Su Junchu asked, his expression meaningful.

Nian Nian nodded, Su Junchu looked at her, and said slowly: "He has already left, left the palace, and went to wander the world." In the future, he was no longer a prince, he took a girl he loved with him. ”

Nian Nian was shocked and worried when she heard this, and her face couldn't help but change color slightly.

She looked at Su Junchu with wide eyes, and Su Junchu also looked at her without blinking, and then said, "Is this news a blow to you?" ”

Nian Nian frowned slightly, not understanding why Su Junchu suddenly said this.

She leaned down and was about to write a few more words to ask for clarification, but she didn't want Su Junchu to suddenly grasp her pen, pull Nian Nian's whole person to turn around and stand face to face with her, staring at her eyes and asking, "How long do you have to hide it?" will let me know that you are missing. ”

Nian Nian's surprise was not trivial, and his eyes were suddenly full of panic. She could only shake her head and wave her hands, trying to prove that she was not who he said she was.

Su Junchu gently stroked Nian Nian's unfamiliar face with his fingers: "Your face is different from before, and you haven't spoken." However, I can now be absolutely sure that you are Niannian, the Niannian that I think about every day and try my best to find. ”

Nian Nian looked at Su Junchu in a daze, she didn't know where she showed her flaws?

However, despite this, even though Su Junchu now seemed to have recognized her as Nian Nian, she still didn't want to admit that she was Nian Nian in front of Su Junchu.

After all, the princess's words of warning were still ringing in her ears.

"Niannian, I know you care about Xiaorou, otherwise you wouldn't have rushed in to find me. Xiao Rou and Li Mo, the two of them have really left the palace and gone to live a life of envy of mandarin ducks and not immortals. What about you? Are you really going to hide like I am? If I hadn't recognized you today, would you really have to keep hiding from me, and you're the one I love so much? Su Junchu stared at Niannian's dazed face, sighed and said, "You see that I am anxious to find you every day, running through every street and alley, looking for every corner of the village, how can you bear it?"

Hearing this, Nian Nian finally couldn't help crying "wow".

The grievances and intimidations that have been received for many days all broke out at this moment, and Nian Nian cried uncontrollably, crying so much that the mountains shook, and his liver and intestines were broken, but he couldn't say a word.

Su Junchu was so cried by the endless thoughts, and he couldn't stop crying like a knife, so he could only hug her tightly: "It's all my fault that I didn't recognize you so late, what's going on with your face?" What's going on with this qiē? Who made you like this? Princess? Empress? ”

Nian Nian didn't answer his words, just cried and asked, "Third brother, how do you know that I am Nian Nian?" ”

"I've long been surprised that you look and act so like Niannian, but I can't believe that you are really by my side. Today, when you handed me the bowl of lotus seed soup, I noticed that your hand should never be the hand of a girl who has been doing farm work in the countryside for a long time. Moreover, these hands look so familiar to me, so close. Although your face has changed, your hands have not, and I feel that the owner of these hands should be my mind. However, at that time, I was still not completely sure, you just thought about it. Until the princess is gone, you rush in and want something to say to me. I watched you write down the word prince, and then I knew that you were Niannian, you must be Niannian, so you will care so much about the prince and Xiaorou. Su Junchu said in a low voice, and finally added faintly: "Moreover, don't you know that your handwriting has already taken root in my heart, and I can recognize it immediately as long as I look at it?" ”

"Third brother, what's the matter with the little gentle prince? They...... Do you have to go? Nian Nian stopped crying at this time, she was still thinking about Xiaorou and the prince.

"Yes, if Xiaorou stays in the palace, the emperor will forcibly accept Xiaorou as a concubine. Li Mo, he gave up the position of prince for Xiaorou, the two of them are now in love like the sea, like glue and paint, and they are so happy that people are envious......" Su Junchu said with emotion, and then changed the conversation and asked: "Nian Nian, don't talk about anything else, what I am most concerned about now is, how did you become like this?" And why don't you recognize me? ”

"Because ......" Nian Nian opened his mouth, but hesitated again.

She didn't know if she should tell Su Junchu that it was Princess Lanxin who made her like this? Although Princess Lanxin was so bad to her, the kindness in her heart still made her unbearable to tell the truth and made Su Junchu hate the princess. She always thought that the two of them were still husband and wife, and between husband and wife, there should be no hatred.

"Third brother, don't ask about this, okay? I don't want to mention it again. In the end, Nian Nian stopped Su Junchu with this short sentence.

Su Junchu didn't ask any further, in fact, with his mind and his gradual understanding of Princess Lan Xin's behavior, he had already guessed nine times out of ten.

He sighed softly, caressed Nian Nian's face lovingly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Nian Nian, the grievances you have suffered now, one day, I will redouble for you." From today onwards, I will search for famous doctors and try my best to restore your original appearance. ”

"No, third brother, no, in fact, I can have a way to recover myself. At that time, the person who changed my face was Zhan Muyan, and he gave me an ointment that restored my face. However, I don't want to recover my ...... now" Nian Nian said hurriedly, paused slightly, and said, "Third brother, please don't expose yourself in front of the princess that you already know that I am Nian Nian." ”

Hearing Nian Nian say this, Su Junchu held her hand painfully: "You can't hold your breath so much? Naturally, I won't recognize you in front of her now, and since she thinks I'm a fool, I'm willing to cooperate with her and carry out this game to the end, and see who has the last laugh. ”

Nian Nian whispered, "Actually...... Princess, she loves you very much. ”

Su Junchu took Nian Nian into his arms, kissed her face lightly and said, "Don't talk about her, Nian Nian, I miss you so much...... Do you know how much I miss you these days? ”

Nian Nian suddenly reacted, and the unbearable sounds she heard when she stood at the gate of Xinhe Palace on the night when Su Junchu came back from Huzhou appeared in her ears again......

Her heart began to tear and ache again, and she pushed Su Junchu away, and broke away from his embrace with her greatest strength, and her tone was fierce: "Third brother, don't do this again, don't touch me like this in the future!" ”

"Nian Nian, what do you mean by that?" Su Junchu's face changed, and he looked at her with a frown.

"Because, you are the husband of Princess Lanxin, and I no longer want to have a trace of ambiguity with other people's husbands!" Nian Nian's face was pale, her body trembled slightly, but her voice was extremely firm.

"Niannian, you know that I have never loved her! In my heart, you are the only wife who really recognizes. Su Junchu's face also lost its blood, stared at Nian Nian, and said excitedly.

"Third brother, no matter what, you are now the husband of Princess Lanxin, this is an unchangeable fact. I used to ...... The people who despise the most are those who destroy other people's families and are entangled with other people's husbands. Therefore, please don't do this to me again in the future, and don't do anything to me that goes beyond the relationship between brother and sister. Because, I don't want to! I don't want to do this with you again! Nian Nian's eyes didn't look at Su Junchu again, and tears fell sharply again.

And in her ears, irrepressibly echoed the words that Princess Lanxin had insulted her in the prison: You, nothing! You're just a who wants to steal someone else's husband!

"Niannian, I know that I am with Princess Lanxin, and it hurts you a lot...... But not a day goes by that I don't think about you! Please forgive me, I beg you, forgive me, okay? You know, my heart is no less painful than yours, and I long for you to be the one I hold in my arms every day, not her. Su Junchu didn't notice that there were a few new terms in Niannian's words that he didn't understand.

He strode in front of Nian Nian and hugged her tightly in his arms again.

"Let go of me!" Nian Nian screamed loudly, and once again pushed Su Junchu away with all his might, and said resolutely and decisively: "Third brother, I said it, don't touch me like this in the future, please respect my wishes!" ”

Su Junchu looked at Nian Nian steadily, and there was an awe-inspiring and inviolable coldness and determination on her face at this time.

The two of them looked at each other silently for a long time, and Su Junchu said, "Sue me, how can you be willing to be with me?" How can you not reject me? ”

"It's impossible...... Third brother, don't you still understand? You and I can't be together anymore. Although we love each other, although we care about each other, we are destined to be together without fate in this life. If Xiaorou hadn't run away from marriage at the beginning, and you and I had become married smoothly, then we might live happily together now, like all loving couples, sweetly and happily. However, the difference between the original thoughts is now completely different from the world. Between me and you, there are too many obstacles, too many helplessness. I can't cross these, I can't lie in the arms of other people's husbands with my conscience! In this way, I will never be happy! Nian Nian smiled sadly and said word by word.

"I understand......" Su Junchu didn't get closer to her again, spit out these words heavily, and then looked at Nian Nian quietly, his voice was difficult: "Nian Nian, don't worry, from today on, I won't touch you again...... However, this does not mean that my heart will give up on you, you should know that I will never give up my love for you. ”

Nian Nian looked at Su Junchu, who was also in pain, and asked softly, "What do you mean by not giving up?" ”

"I once said that one day, I would bring you back to me with dignity...... Nian Nian, I want to ask you now, if there really is a day when you can be my wife, would you like to? Will you promise me? Su Junchu stared at Nian Nian's tearful eyes and asked in a deep voice.
