"Then I will no longer have my own joy or anger? I can no longer do things according to my own heart, no matter how much I hate Shen Xie in my heart, no matter how unwilling I am to be close to him, I must be with him, right? ”

The hope in her eyes slowly annihilated, despair filled her eyes, Lu Ziyue raised her head to look at Yuan Mei, and her heart ached: "Is there no other way?" Why, why do I want to become their new faith, why, why do I want to become a puppet, Brother Yuan, why do I suddenly have so many responsibilities on my body? ”

She wanted to squat down, but Yuan Mei grabbed his hand, there was no lack of sadness in the man's eyes, but there was some firmness: "Ah Yue, you are the only princess of Dayue Kingdom, and the only royal child with high dignity now, if they don't pin their only hope on you, they will have no faith, if this is the case, Dayue Kingdom will no longer have any hope of recovering the country, when a country loses the support of its people, he no longer has the need to exist." ”

Yuan Mei grabbed her hand tightly: "Ah Yue, you can't retreat, not to mention that now you have the child of you and the regent in your belly, even if you are really unwilling to take on this responsibility, you should also think about the child in your belly, since you are willing to let him grow in your belly, you should let him have the care of his parents after he is born, and you can't let him live a miserable life." ”

Yuan Mei was thinking about Lu Ziyue in every sentence, even if what he said was selfish, it was also for the sake of Da Yue Guo, even if Lu Ziyue was sad and sad, she didn't have any position to blame Yuan Mei, she supported the table behind her with one hand, so that her whole body was not shaky.

No one spoke for a long time, just when Yuan Mei thought that Lu Ziyue hadn't figured it out yet, but heard her say: "In this case, I should indeed assume the responsibility of being a princess, since this is the case, the people of Da Yue Kingdom want me to become their faith, then I should indeed stand up and stabilize my own position as the regent princess and the future queen, since they need me to live in this world in a beautiful way so that Da Yue Kingdom will never be forgotten, then I do, indeed want to live well." ”

She said every word very lightly, but the two men present listened to it, Yuan Mei felt a lot of grief in her heart, but no matter how sad he was, there was no way to bear all this for Lu Ziyue, if she wanted to wear the crown, she had to bear its weight, not to mention that this crown had already been worn on her head.

Yuan Mei lowered his head, looking at Lu Ziyue's eyes closed and trembling eyelashes, he suddenly became depressed, and wanted to reach out to hug Lu Ziyue, but he didn't know how to reach out or how to touch her.

He retracted his arm, took out a gold leaf from his waist and handed it to Lu Ziyue, the gold leaf had uneven patterns on it, Lu Ziyue felt that the pattern was very familiar when he took it, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

She raised her head to look at Yuan Mei in confusion, and her voice was a little hoarse: "What is this?" If it's money, Shen Xie has never lacked anything from me. ”

"It's not money, it's something you use to contact me in the future, Shen Xie may be afraid that I will see you one day, so he plans to give me an edict to transfer me out of the capital, so although it is not convenient to see you often, but if I want to, it will be much more convenient than in the barracks, you take this gold leaf well, Lin Yi will tell you how to contact me, but now it is not early, I have to go back to the barracks."

Yuan Mei's eyes were full of reluctance, he never thought that he and Lu Ziyue would meet for the first time in so many years in such a scene, and he never thought that he would say so many cruel words when they met for the first time in so many years.

But everything is different now and everything before, and the two of them carry different things.

Five years ago, what Yuan Mei had to do was to protect his family and the country, protect the dawn people of the entire Dayue Kingdom, protect the royal family of the Dayue Kingdom, and protect Lu Ziyue, these are the responsibilities he should assume as a soldier.

And Lu Ziyue five years ago was a simple and cunning little princess, all she wanted to do was to grow up peacefully, and Da Yue never asked this little princess to contribute to the country.

But five years later, after all, everything before was destroyed, Yuan Mei no longer had to take on the responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country, what he had to do now was to protect the lives of his brothers behind him, and there was nothing else he had to do.

But Lu Ziyue is different, the princess of the dead country, after the new country of another country, she has taken on much more responsibilities than Yuan Mei.

Yuan Mei didn't know if Lu Ziyue could afford all this? It's just that he knows that what he can do now is to do his best to make Lu Ziyue's future path better.

The sun is about to go west, it is already in the afternoon, if everything is as expected, Shen Xie should already be on the way to Lingshan, Yuan Mei really can't stay any longer, if he stays any longer, I'm afraid that many variables will happen.

Lu Ziyue nodded, she put the golden leaf in her sleeve, and her eyes moistened again: "I don't know how long it will take to meet again after parting with you this time, Brother Yuan, I only hope that you can do one thing, that is, take good care of yourself, the affairs of the Great Yue Kingdom, you let it go for the time being, when you and I are incapable, you must always learn to taoguang and cultivate obscurity, Shen Xie, you and I can't afford to provoke you for the time being, so don't pluck the hair on his head." ”

After she finished speaking, she took off the piccolo on her waist and handed it to Yuan Mei: "This is the object that Lin Yi told me to use to contact him before, but now it has been used once, if someone hears the sound of the piccolo this time and accidentally sees me wearing this thing on my waist, he will definitely be suspicious, we must ensure that everything is foolproof." ”

Yuan Mei took the piccolo in her hand and nodded: "Don't worry, I will destroy this thing immediately after I bring it back, and I will definitely not let people find any clues." ”

After Yuan Mei finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Ziyue deeply, then opened the window next to her and flipped out.

There were only two people left in this room, Lin Yi and Lu Ziyue.

She wiped all the tears around her eyes and then looked at Lin Yi: "How should this palace contact Brother Yuan in the future?" ”

Her words were a little calmer than just now, she found a seat and sat down, and said: "He just said that he was going to be demoted to another place, so it will definitely not be very close to the capital, if this palace wants to contact him, will it be very difficult and troublesome?" ”

"It won't be like that." Lin Yi stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands, "Before, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that she needed a trustworthy person to serve by her side, this matter Lin Yi has already arranged, if everything goes well, she should have followed the regent to Lingshan by now." ”

"You mean, that person was able to help Bengong contact Brother Yuan?" Lu Ziyue didn't believe it a little, the people who followed Shen Xie to Lingshan were nothing more than servants in the Regent's Palace, but these people were very innocent, not to mention the people who Shen Xie dared to bring with him when he traveled.

The doubts in her heart were even deeper, Shen Xie had always been cautious in doing things, but she was afraid that she would not easily let them place people in.

But Lin Yi's face was very confident, he said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, although you can rest assured, the people who were arranged into the Regent's Mansion this time were cultivated by us since she was a child, this girl's parents and parents are both authentic Shen people, and the people she has come into contact with since she was a child are also from Shen Guo, and the customs and culture she has learned since she was a child are also from Shen Guo, so no one will doubt her identity, not to mention that the people around the Prince Regent have been cultivated since childhood, They also chose from the neighborhoods, and if there was no suitable one, they expanded the recruitment, so that the girl entered the Regent's palace in the light of her sixteen years old. ”

Lu Ziyue didn't expect Lin Yi and them to be so cautious in doing things, but it takes a lot of time to implement these people so carefully, I'm afraid it's not a method they have come up with recently, but a policy that Da Yue Guo has begun to implement a long time ago.

She pursed her lips and said, "What's that girl's name?" ”

"Ah Han, she is a girl with a lovely face and a lively nature, as for Her Royal Highness the Princess, we have already thought about why you fell in love with her, Ah Han is seven points similar to Ah Pei in terms of face."

"Is it a coincidence?" Lu Ziyue suddenly became excited, but she had already denied this conjecture in her heart, there have never been so many coincidences in the world, let alone the faces between people.

She stood up and bit her lip stubbornly, and a sense of excitement suddenly erupted in her heart, Ah Pei was sold to the palace as a palace maid when she was very young, and she was also by her side when she was very young, and although Lu Ziyue never knew how she was in a private family, she also knew that it was definitely not a happy family, otherwise Ah Pei would not have been sold.

And now that there is suddenly a person who is seven points similar to her, Lu Ziyue has to wonder if Ah Han, who has never met before, has any special relationship with Ah Pei before, or is it ......

She didn't want to speculate anymore, so she stared at Lin Yi tightly, and there was a little pleading in her tone: "Lin Yi, tell this palace, is there any chance that this palace can make up for Ah Pei, and is there any chance to treat her family well?" ”

As soon as Lin Yi said that the seven points were similar, he had already thought that Lu Ziyue would be excited, but he never thought that she would be so excited.

He was a little frightened by her current appearance, but he still nodded: "Her Royal Highness the princess guessed correctly, Ah Han is the biological sister of Miss Ah Pei, four years after Miss Ah Pei was sold to the palace to be a palace maid, her parents gave birth to another child, but their family is still poor, and this child is a girl, so they sold this girl into the palace again, and at that time, the palace happened to be selecting children to go to Shen and Li, so, After recording some simple information about this child, the palace directly sent this child to Shen Guo. ”

After he finished speaking, there was also a little regret in his words: "Maybe God has already destined all this, Ah Han and Ah Pei have never met in this regent palace for so many years, and they have never known the relationship between the two of them. ”
