06 People who observe fate
In the boudoir of the lonely man, all the items are fully furnished, the red gauze curtain flutters with the wind sent in from the window, the lone girl sits in front of the bronze mirror, removing the decoration on her head, and the candle flame is printed in the bronze mirror, shining her face.
Looking at his face in the mirror, Gu Zhen unconsciously thought of Su Li's face in An Yanzhe's painting, and said to himself: "It's really exactly the same, no wonder he always thinks of that person when he looks at me."
"Princess, the wind is coming." A little maid whispered into the lonely girl's room and said to her.
After removing the last hairpin from his head, he said, "Let him do it."
After a while, the maid led a man in, he was dressed in cloth, with a sword at his waist, and a sturdy figure, and he looked like a man with strong martial arts.
"Subordinates, see the princess." Feng Xing saluted after entering.
"Get up." Lonely Zheng had already sat back at the table at this moment, watching the wind run. The haughty temperament on her body is very different from that in the daytime.
Taking advantage of the popularity, she asked again, "How is the investigation?"
"It was raining heavily on the night of the crime, and the location was relatively remote, so few people traveled, and there were no reliable eyewitnesses." Fengxing replied.
"Who the hell could it be?" Gu Zhen said as he thought.
"Those three people are not important people, not to mention disrespectful to the princess, if you die, you will die, why should the princess bother so much?" Fengxing asked.
"I'm not interested in them, but on the people who killed them. Is it really not him? Gu Zhen said.
"When the princess said about him, did she mean An Shizi?" Feng Xing asked cautiously.
"Who else but him?" I don't know if I'm answering Fengxing's words, or asking Fengxing a question.
"Princess, hasn't she been to King An's Mansion today? What did the prince say? Fengxing asked again.
"Say it's not him." Gu Zhen replied, and asked again, "What does General Feng think?"
"I don't know if it's him, I just think An Shizi is sincere to the princess." Fengxing replied.
"Really?" Gu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "His sincerity is not for me, but for others to be used as a substitute."
"It doesn't matter if it's sincere, or it's a stand-in. Anyway, he has a lot of love for the princess, which is a good thing for us. Prince An has a heavy army in his hands, and he loves his son like his life, if we draw them to our side, the great cause of the restoration of the country of Gusu is just around the corner. Feng Xing said.
After listening to the popular words, Gu Zhen smiled and said: "No wonder my father asked me to stay with you before he died, today, I see that the general is not only famous in martial arts, but also outstanding in strategy."
"The princess has won the award, and she has been appointed by the emperor, and she will definitely wish the princess to complete the great cause of recovering the country." Fengxing said respectfully.
After the wind walked, Gu Zheng handed a painting to the maid and said, "Find someone to make this dress according to the appearance of this painting."
The maid opened the painting and looked at it, the clothes on the painting were the clothes worn by Su Li in the painting that Gu Zhen saw in An Yanzhe's study, the white dress, Su Li wore a noble princess who seemed to come out of the Middle Ages.
After looking at the painting, he imitated the appearance of the painting and painted another one.
"Why does the princess suddenly have to make such clothes, this ......," said the maid, "this is too much." ”
"She was so beautiful in this dress that it was no wonder she could blind the man. If I'm like her, wearing this dress, can I catch his eye? Lone muttered.
"Who? Whose eye did it catch? Princess, you are beautiful enough, why do you want to learn from others? The maid said.
"It's not enough, at least in his eyes, I'm not as beautiful as her." Gu Zhen said, frowning all the time when she spoke, but even if she frowned, she was very beautiful.
"How is that possible? Not to mention that you are in this Qinshui country, even in the country of Gusu before, you are also the number one, which bastard dares to say that you are not beautiful, he is blind. The maid said indignantly.
"It's not that I'm blind, it's because I'm in love. When you fall in love with someone, you probably only think that person is beautiful. I didn't know anything about the woman, only the story that happened to them. Gu Zhen said, his eyes staring at him out of concentration.
"What kind of story?" The maid suddenly felt that she couldn't understand her master's words today.
"It's a very, sad story." Gu Zhen said.
On the second day, An Yanzhe really went to the music shop where Gu Zhen was located. Hearing that An Yanzhe was visiting, Gu Zhenyu deliberately dressed up before going out.
"I'm sorry, I've kept my son waiting." Gu Zhen went to the box where An Yanzhe was and sat down.
"It doesn't matter." An Yanzhe replied briefly.
The purpose of dressing up well is to attract An Yanzhe's attention, but now it seems that her purpose has failed. An Yanzhe didn't notice her changes, maybe he didn't notice it. Being ignored like this, Gu Zheng's heart was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face, just smiled shallowly.
"Are there any people who have been making trouble lately?" An Yanzhe asked.
"Thanks to the frequent visits of the prince, they all thought that the prince had a good relationship, so they didn't dare to mess around." The lonely man replied.
"That's a blessing in the midst of misfortune." An Yanzhe said.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Today, don't you play the piano?"
"Didn't Shizi say that the woman you love can't play the piano?" Gu Zhen asked rhetorically.
"Isn't the girl a skilled piano?" An Yanzhe asked.
Gu Zhen said with a light smile: "Even so, Qi Zhen also wants to be a dedicated stand-in."
"But I want to try......" An Yanzhe said as he looked at Gu Zhen, "try not to use you as her stand-in." ”
"Pick a piece of music you're good at, I'd like to hear it too." An Yanzhe said again.
His words made Gu Zhen happy in her heart, she felt An Yanzhe's change, even if it was only a little change, but at least some of the time, he regarded himself as Gu Zhen, not a stand-in for the woman named Su Li.
"Someone, go get my harp." Gu Zhen said happily.
Her happiness was to some extent contagious to An Yanzhe, and he laughed along, this time with a genuine smile, not a polite smile.
Looking at the smile on his face, Gu Zhen couldn't help but take a few more glances and said, "But someone has mentioned it to the prince, your smile is very good."
"Well, I've had too many people praise me since I was a child, so I can't remember it clearly, maybe there is." An Yanzhe said.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to make such a joke." Gu Zhen said.
Unexpectedly, An Yanzhe said seriously: "It's not a joke, it's serious."
As soon as he said this, Gu Zhen's smile deepened. When I was with An Yanzhe for the first time, I put aside the shadow of sadness and could laugh happily unscrupulously.
"Shizi, the eldest lady said that she was looking for you for something." After An Yanzhe returned to the mansion, he still stayed in the study. Ah Cheng suddenly came to report.
After An Yanzhe listened, he put down the affairs in his hand and went out to see An Yanyue. I'm still very happy to see my sister after being reborn. This sister is not much different from the sister in her previous life, her every move is full of everyone's beautiful temperament, but she is a little weaker than before.
"What's the matter with me?" An Yanzhe asked after seeing An Yanyue.
"You kid, can't I look for you if I'm fine? Since I woke up, I've been staying in that study, and I don't know if I think you've hidden a beauty in it, so I'm going to go in today to see what happened. An Yanyue said and prepared to bypass An Yanzhe and enter the study.
"Sister, as I said, no one can set foot in this study." An Yanzhe blocked the door of the study and prevented her from entering.
"Won't anyone be allowed in? How did I hear that you let the girl from the Le Fang in yesterday inside? An Yanyue said with an interrogative posture.
This sentence made An Yanzhe unable to refute, why did he let Gu Zhen enter? Maybe it's because she looks like Su Li.
"Didn't you have something to do with me? What's up? An Yanzhe couldn't answer, so he could only change the subject.
An Yanyue is also a simple-minded person, and when An Yanzhe was so introduced, she forgot what happened just now, and said, "I'm going to the temple tomorrow, and my mother will let you go with me."
"What are you doing at the temple?" An Yanzhe asked.
"Wish." An Yanyue replied.
"I don't have any wishes to repay, you can go by yourself." An Yanzhe said.
"You kid, really, I have time to run to Lefang every day, and I don't want to accompany my sister to a temple. No, I have to go tomorrow, and besides, I was supposed to help you fulfill your wishes. An Yanyue took out her sister's posture and ordered.
"What do you wish for me?" An Yanzhe asked.
"Wasn't you seriously injured and unconscious some time ago, my mother and I went to the temple to petition, but I didn't expect you to wake up the next day. It feels really spiritual, so I have to pay my vows, otherwise it won't work the next time I ask for something. Besides, the abbot has been seeing you all along. An Yanyue explained.
Although reluctantly, An Yanzhe was dragged to the temple. After all, it's boring to stay in the house, thinking that the temple environment is beautiful and the scenery is very good, so you can't come to visit. In addition, An Yanyue's last words about the abbot master wanted to see him very much, but this sentence made An Yanzhe very concerned.
After accompanying An Yanyue to repay his vows, An Yanzhe saw the abbot, who looked like a fairy and a master.
"His Royal Highness." The abbot saluted slightly after seeing An Yanzhe. An Yanzhe also returned a salute.
What follows is the conversation between the two:
"Shizi's injuries have healed."
"It's fine."
"When the old man came to pick up the son, you were still seriously injured, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, you have recovered."
When he heard this, An Yanzhe was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean when you pick me up?"
"Isn't His Royal Highness from the 21st century?"
An Yanzhe's shock can be imagined, he got up from his chair in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"
"The old man just said that I took over His Royal Highness." The abbot replied, with an unfathomable smile.
"You...... Who is it? An Yanzhe asked.
"A man who watches fate." The abbot replied, and then asked, "Isn't the prince curious why he is here?"
