Chapter 592: Deserted and Escaped
has been in business for decades, Zhao Yueqiu has long been extraordinary, but no matter how patient she is, when facing the people in front of her, she can't bear to force and persecute her.
"That's it, since the princess doesn't want to say it, then don't say it, after a long journey, months of travel, I'm also tired, and the princess is at her own convenience."
Anyway, regardless of whether the face of the person in front of him was ugly or not, Zhao Yueqiu stood up and walked in the direction of his room.
At this time, Qi Anwan also stood up, her eyes fell on the small wooden box next to her, and she instructed the people beside her: "Xiao Wu, bring the box and come with me." β
Xiao Wu obeyed orders and followed closely.
Back in the bedroom, when Xiao Wu sent the box into the room and was about to leave, Qi Anwan stopped him and said lightly: "Xiao Wu, stay outside the door and don't allow anyone to approach." β
When the words fell, Xiao Wu still obeyed the order, jumped on the roof, disappeared in an instant, and hid in the dark for warning.
Seeing him jump off the ground, Qi Anwan, who was not surprised, closed the door, took out the key from under the jade pillow, turned around and opened the locked wooden box.
This is the 'treasure chest' she gave to Jun Yuanzheng when she was a child, to hide their treasures and secrets, it took the best craftsmen in the world ten days to build, and only two keys in the world can be opened.
One is on Jun Yuanzheng, and the other is on her.
If it is opened by violence......
The mechanism in this chest will shatter all the contents of the box.
It seems simple, but it's complicated.
After opening the box, there are indeed more than a dozen books inside, and the top ones are full of strange stories, either writing about scholars and female ghosts, or about rich businessmen and goblins.
Qi Anwan skipped these directly, and it wasn't until she saw the last book without a title that her expression gradually became solemn.
She knew that was what she wanted.
This is a book, but also a person's life.
After a long time, he exhaled a deep breath and carefully took the book out with both hands.
In the booklet, there is also a thin piece of paper.
The paper reads, 'Shengping Emperor, is really a woman, but the woman does not let the eyebrows, get out of the whirlpool of conspiracy, calm the world with their own strength, and then meet with Junmen Junchen, the two love each other, after the two of them concluded a good relationship, when they were born, they went to the white head together, and after their deaths, they were buried in a hole, and they were not negative in this life. β
This is just a preface.
However, just a few words, looking at it, Qi Anwan's eyes turned red.
It was written on the paper, and the contents of the book, she didn't have to think about it, she knew what it was.
It was the ups and downs of her father and mother's life.
In this book, they may not be able to use their former names, or even change their names incognito, but she knows that what is written in this is the life of her father.
Wiping away her tears, Qi Anwan flipped through it carefully, her eyebrows were sometimes wrinkled, sometimes relaxed, her expression was sometimes sad, sometimes excited, but she couldn't wait to chew it word by word.
This look lasted until late at night.
Closed windows are knocked from the outside.
The sudden sound made Qi Anwan, who was immersed in the story, finally come back to her senses, and asked vigilantly: "What's the matter?" β
Xiao Wu dutifully reminded: "Princess, it's late, you should wash and rest, and put everything you wash in the bathroom." β
"I see."
After the words fell, Qi Anwan reluctantly glanced at the book, carefully folded it in the corner, and then locked it back into the box, and carried the key close to him, then turned around and entered the bathroom through the secret door.
The identity of the mother is a secret that they have kept for many years, and over the decades, they have long been accustomed to hiding, and they are cautious about all matters involving the royal family, leaving no hidden dangers.
Even in your own room, you want to be at ease.
The sound of water came out of the bath, and Xiao Wu outside the window returned to the roof, with his elbow on the back of his head, and raised his eyes to look at the dark night sky.
He had not waited long before a man came from afar, and after a few ups and downs from the eaves, he landed beside him.
The visitor was a woman, dressed in an emerald shirt, looking both neat and lively.
This person is Ming Wei, who was originally responsible for protecting Qi Anwan.
"Thank you so much for this time."
Xiao Wu got up and yawned: "It's still the same as before, you keep vigil for the eldest princess of Fu'an at night, and I will do it for you during the day." β
"Okay."
The woman bowed her head, landed a few steps from the eaves, found the clean quilt in the cabinet, and returned to the outhouse to lay the floor.
After washing, Qi Anwan, who had changed into sleeping clothes, returned to the couch to reopen the 'treasure chest', took out the books in it, and continued to look down from the previous position.
Half an hour later, there was another knocking sound outside the house.
This time it was a woman, and her voice was naturally chilling.
"Your Royal Highness, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest."
Hearing this, Qi Anwan was very experienced, and when he heard this person's voice, he knew that Xiao Wu, who was good at talking, had been laid off and left, so he hurriedly put the book back in its place, put the 'treasure chest' on the inside of the bed, and retracted it into the brocade quilt.
Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, a small pebble pierced through the curtain and hit the candlestick with precision, plunging the outside of the tent into darkness in an instant.
It was the people who were guarding outside who extinguished the candle in the house.
Qi Anwan: "......"
She, the princess, in the eyes of the guards of the imperial tomb, is really not half majestic.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, during the meal, Qi Anwan wandered several times, and if it weren't for Zhao Yueqiu staring at her, she might even poke the spoon into her nostrils.
"What is the princess thinking?" Zhao Yueqiu scooped a bowl of soup and put it in front of Qi Anwan, and said in a light tone: "Is it that today's cook's cooking skills are not in line with the taste, so the princess is frequently distracted?" β
"It's not."
Qi Anwan looked at the person in front of her secretly.
In that book, the existence of this person is also very distinct, although the number of appearances is not much, but as far as she looks, every occasion when Mrs. Yipin appears, it is very important.
Sometimes it's a turn, sometimes it's a succession.
In the end, the appearance of Mrs. Yipin has never been ordinary.
After thinking for a long time, Qi Anwan suddenly said: "Madam, if one day, you find out that the person you love the most has deceived you, and has deceived you for a lifetime, how would you react?" β
"Lie for a lifetime?" Zhao Yueqiu smiled, not knowing what she was laughing at: "If someone is willing to deceive you for a lifetime, it is not a good thing." β
Seeing her indifferent reaction, Qi Anwan was slightly surprised: "Won't you be angry if you were deceived?" β
"It depends on what's going on."
Zhao Yueqiu glanced at her, took the Jinpa handed by the waiter and wiped her mouth, and said in a slight tone: "What does the princess want to say?" β
"Last night, I read a book, the content of the book is extremely wonderful, but in the whole book, there is a kind of deception that runs through from beginning to end, but I want to recommend it to Madame, I wonder if Madame is interested?"
Every time she said a word, Qi Anwan's body became more and more tense, until she finished speaking, her back was already faintly sweating.
God knows how much courage it took her to finally say this.
wanted to tell Zhao Yueqiu the truth, this idea was born a long time ago.
is also a woman, she has pity on Mrs. Yipin.
I love someone for a lifetime, but I don't even know if the person I love is a man or a woman.
How pitiful is that?
And when her mother was dying, she wanted Jun Yuanzheng to 'declare the truth' to the world in a different way, wasn't she ready to accept the doubts of the world?
Even so, it doesn't seem to matter whether you want to continue to hide it from Zhao Yueqiu.
Hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu raised her eyebrows, first looked people up and down, and then asked casually: "The princess watched it all night last night?" β
"No, I fell asleep last night as usual."
Qi Anwan shook her head, even her palms were wet with sweat, she looked at Zhao Yueqiu, and asked firmly, "Madame, do you want to see it?" β
"It doesn't hurt to see." Zhao Yueqiu can see it or not: "After the princess finishes reading, she will lend me a read." β
After hearing this, Qi Anwan opened her mouth, and in her heart it could be said that heaven and man were at war, and it was extremely difficult to say: "...... Perhaps, I'll have to watch it for a long time. β
"It doesn't hurt."
β¦β¦
Day after day, day after day.
Qi Anwan's heart is not as decisive as Qi Changrong's, nor as cold and hard as Junchen, she can't turn a blind eye, it is obviously a very simple thing, but she dragged it out again and again.
A storybook, from August to October, a whole two months, spent in a tangled and apprehensive state.
On this day, she finally made up her mind and knocked on Zhao Yueqiu's door late at night.
Looking at the old man in front of her, who was no longer young, Qi Anwan bit her lip, didn't dare to look her eyes directly, hurriedly stuffed the book into her arms, and said, "This book is the one I mentioned to my wife at the beginning, and my wife can read it when she has time." β
Hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu wrapped her cotton jacket tightly, stretched out her hand to touch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and sighed long: "Visiting late at night, braving the severe cold, the princess just wanted to talk about it?" β
"Exactly." Qi Anwan nodded and looked at her toes: "After reading it, if Madam has any questions, you can come and ask me." β
After that, without giving the person in front of him time to react, Qi Anwan turned around and ran.
At this time, she was a little naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve.
Just like the rush when I came, when I left, I was still in a hurry.
Until the man's back disappeared into the snow curtain, Zhao Yueqiu raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, quite crying and laughing.
It's just that this book ......
The book lay quietly in Zhao Yueqiu's palm.
After looking at it for a long time, the carelessness in Zhao Yueqiu's eyes gradually dissipated, and a little bit of judgment poured in, but it was not opened for a long time.
It stands to reason that she is already an old man, and when her heart stops water, she should have taken care of her life and no longer worry about anything.
But she remembered clearly that since returning to the Imperial Mausoleum, all of Qi Anwan's abnormal actions started from this book.
What secrets are hidden in the book?
And what kind of secret is it worth letting the dignified eldest princess Fu'an cover it up, or even run away?
Yes, Qi Anwan's behavior just now, in Zhao Yueqiu's eyes, was tantamount to running away.
Running away is an act of panic to the extreme.
