Knowing that the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him was the secret guard who protected him, Qi Anwan's nervous expression immediately relaxed, and then lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

In this imperial mausoleum, which is surrounded like an iron bucket, she is too fuss about letting people outside do everything they can, and where can they come in casually.

After a long time, she called in a low voice: "Little Five." ”

Xiao Wu arched his hand and said respectfully: "The subordinates are here." ”

"What's going on in Beijing now?"

Xiao Wu paused, cautiously glanced at Qi Anwan's expression, and replied cautiously: "Just yesterday, General Jun was already buried, and he was buried with Mrs. Jun Xie Tanyuan. ”

Hearing this, Qi Anwan closed her eyes, and her heart ached dullly, as if it could tear her whole person apart.

It's just too uncomfortable.

It seems that even breathing hurts.

Qi Anwan asked, "Capital, do you have my letter?" ”

"Not yet." Xiao Wu shook his head, not daring to say what he really thought in his heart.

Just for the foolish things that Princess Fu'an did in the past, and now she still remembers her people...... In addition to blood relatives, I am afraid that only those who have been offended in the past.

And those people are eager to see her again, how can they send letters from afar?

Qi Anwan pursed her lips: "Mrs. Zhao, can you come over?" ”

"My subordinates don't know."

However, Qi Anwan didn't seem to hear his answer, and continued to herself: "When will Mrs. Zhao come back?" ”

Seeing that her face was dazed, and there was indescribable pain and remorse hidden in her eyes, Xiao Wu could only lower her eyes.

In the end, he held back a sentence: "If Her Royal Highness the princess is really uncomfortable, you can cry happily, your subordinates have fed the princess a tranquilizing pill, and there will be no more yesterday's accidents." ”

"I don't want to cry anymore." Qi Anwan was obviously extremely uncomfortable, and the tears on her face had not dissipated, but at this moment, she couldn't cry.

The feeling of empty grievances is the same as in a dream.

Father and mother left hand in hand, leaving her far away, leaving only two blurred backs, no matter how she shouted, she would not stop.

"Little Wu, I'm hungry."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wu said: "The subordinates immediately asked people to prepare to eat, what does the princess want to eat?" ”

"Whatever."

Suddenly, Xiao Wu made a difficulty, so he had to list the dishes that appeared most frequently on Qi Anwan's table according to his previous memory.

At the end, he said, "How about these four things?" ”

Qi Anwan nodded and did not make a sound.

Seeing her like this, it seemed that she had lost all her life, and her eyes were gloomy, saying that she was a living person, but in fact she was more like an ignorant and unconscious marionette.

Xiao Wu was also very uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, the eldest princess of Fu'an in his memory has always been bright, and there has never been such a time of defeat.

After finishing the meal, Qi Anwan sat outside the house to blow the wind, the slight heat of the wind blew into the imperial mausoleum, the long hair that was scattered on the shoulders like a black waterfall moved with the wind, and the extremely fine hair appeared in the sun, which was reflected in a light light.

After a half-sound, Qi Anwan suddenly stretched out her hand and put her white palm under the sun, but the strange thing was that she couldn't feel any warmth even though she was in the dog days.

After a long time, she withdrew her hand and raised her voice slightly: "Xiao Wu, I'm a little cold, go get a bed blanket." ”

“……”

Xiao Wu raised his eyes to look at the scorching sun in the sky, then lowered his eyes and glanced at Qi Anwan worriedly.

How can it be cold when the sun is so hot?

Although he felt strange, he took a thin blanket from the house and respectfully covered Qi Anwan's body.

At this time, Qi Anwan wrapped the blanket tightly and commanded in a low voice: "Little Wu, my leg hurts." ”

Little Five: "......"

Leg pain...... He's not a medical officer, so there's really nothing he can do.

Thinking back to that day, the scene of the eldest princess Fu'an mutilating herself in order to get out of the imperial tomb, Xiao Wu couldn't help but shiver.

Sure enough, dogs can jump off the wall in a hurry, let alone people?

When people are in a hurry, they can do anything.

Seeing that he lowered his eyes and said nothing, Qi Anwan was not embarrassed, and said half-loudly: "Xiao Wu, I can't get out of the imperial mausoleum, but you will definitely be able to, if it is convenient, take a look at Mrs. Zhao's movements for me." ”

Xiao Wu was puzzled: "Her Royal Highness the princess hopes that Mrs. Zhao can come?" ”

"Nature." Qi Anwan raised her hand, covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and her voice was as soft as a whisper: "I'm alone, and I'm always a little lonely." ”

Xiao Wu heard a little sadness from it.

After a moment, he nodded.

So, when Zhao Yueqiu's carriage was halfway there, Qi Anwan learned the news in advance, and when she had nothing to do, she sat at the entrance and exit of the imperial mausoleum every day, staring into the distance in a daze, neither saying a word nor leaving.

She was waiting, she was waiting, she was hoping.

On August 28, Zhao Yueqiu returned late.

This time, her clothes are more plain, the tired color between her eyebrows can't be stopped, and the light makeup, which is usually very beneficial, seems to be shrouded in a shadow, which looks very burdensome.

Half-ringing, Qi Anwan clearly noticed.

Even the jeweled hairpin between Zhao Yueqiu's hair was taken off.

You must know that the hairpin is the thing that this person cares about the most, and even she can't touch it on weekdays.

The Imperial Tomb was built in a valley.

Seeing Qi Anwan at the entrance of the valley, Zhao Yueqiu was slightly stunned, but she reacted quickly, and a faint smile rose on her lips, as if nothing had happened.

"Why is the princess here?"

Qi Anwan subconsciously told the truth: "I know that Madame will come back in a few days." I waited at the mouth of the valley. ”

"The princess has a heart."

Seeing that she had nothing but exhaustion, Qi Anwan hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked, "Did Madame hand over the letter to the little son of the Jun family?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yueqiu bowed her head, let people move a small box from the carriage, and said: "This is prepared by Yuan Zheng for the princess, saying that the days in the mountains are leisurely, and you always have to find something to pass the time." ”

"What's that?"

"I heard that it is the best book sold on the market, telling countless strange stories, as for what it said, I haven't opened it, and the princess can only know if she reads it herself."

Qi Anwan subconsciously opened her mouth, but quickly swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, no matter what. It's not a good time to talk.

She took a step to the side, and her arrogance was no longer the same as before: "Madame, let's go into the valley first." ”

In an instant, Zhao Yueqiu noticed that her steps were different, her eyes condensed slightly, and she walked over in two quick steps: "What's wrong with the princess's leg?" ”

"It was a bit worse that day, and the injury is still not healed." Qi Anwan said lightly, as if the person who was tormented by pain every day was not her.

"Stupid." Zhao Yueqiu shook her head, her tone mixed with a little disappointment: "Your father will never do such meaningless things. ”

"What Madame thought was meaningless, but to me, it meant a lot."

"If you know that you can't do it, the end result can only be in vain."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Anwan looked at Zhao Yueqiu and said without thinking: "Madame loves her father and the emperor, and she doesn't change her mind, isn't she also doing it knowing that she can't do it, and she has suffered for decades in vain?" ”

At the mention of that person, Zhao Yueqiu was already able to deal with it very calmly, but she shook her head helplessly: "That's right, in this regard, I am really not qualified to preach to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The two of them said as they walked inside.

One of them has a noble status, and one of them is a little older, and when they get along, they are not like ordinary elders and juniors.

One listens, one preaches, and it will never exist.

Sitting down, Xiao Wu presents hot tea.

Zhao Yueqiu glanced at him and said casually: "This person looks at it, but he is quite faced." ”

Xiao Wu arched his hand and explained: "If Mrs. Hui is concerned, his subordinate is Ming Wei, who is responsible for protecting the princess. ”

"Mingwei?" Zhao Yueqiu was quite surprised: "Why haven't I seen you before?" ”

Xiao Wu replied truthfully: "In the past, my subordinates have always been secret guards, responsible for walking in the dark, and they will not easily appear in front of others. ”

"I see." Zhao Yueqiu suddenly realized, and asked again: "Why did you suddenly change jobs?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wu didn't know how to answer, so he could only purse his lips without saying anything, his eyes wandered on Qi Anwan several times, although he didn't say anything, but the reason for his change of job was obvious.

It was precisely because of Qi Anwan that they were afraid that their mission in this life would be short-sighted, that Xiao Wu had to live in the sun as an ordinary person.

Seeing this, Zhao Yueqiu immediately understood.

It seems that in the days when she left, a lot of things happened in the imperial tomb.

And this matter is still about Qi Anwan, otherwise it would not have made such a big change in the secret guard.

Zhao Yueqiu, who knew that Qi Anwan was hiding secrets, didn't ask much, lowered her eyes and thought quietly for a long time.

On the contrary, Qi Anwan couldn't sit still, and almost couldn't wait to ask: "Madame returned to Beijing to bury the old general, did the old general mention me before his death?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yueqiu could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, looked at Princess Fu'an, who had almost lost her sense of proportion in front of her, and shook her head slowly.

It was not mentioned.

Not a word.

After understanding what Zhao Yueqiu meant, the light that finally appeared in Qi Anwan's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he still didn't give up, and asked again: "Did you really not mention a word?" ”

"Not yet." Zhao Yueqiu shook her head affirmatively: "Not only did I not mention it, but I also didn't mention it to others, I have been by my brother's side for the past few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Anwan's last trace of thought was completely cut off, and she couldn't help but show an extremely miserable sad smile.

At this time, Zhao Yueqiu asked casually, "Why does the princess think that the old general will specifically mention you when he is dying?" ”

Qi Anwan shook her head and hung her head slightly, not letting people see how sad she was now.

Only the palm that was placed on her knees and clenched into a fist revealed the unrest in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yueqiu didn't know why, and the dark light in her eyes flashed: "Princess? ”

After waiting for a long time, the person in front of him still did not react.
