Pei Jiangzhi smiled bitterly: "For the time being, this is the history of thousands of years passed down by the heads of the Pei family, just you, Princess Anrou." β
Pei Jiangzhi changed his title, he raised his chin and pointed to An Rou's face, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you should always be a little confident in your appearance, right?" β
An Rou let go of the hand that grabbed Pei Jiangzhi's collar, she stroked her face, she never questioned her beauty, "What does this have to do with this?" β
Pei Jiangzhi said again: "It is precisely because Aqinan is deeply infatuated with you, when he suffered your rejection, and witnessed that you were about to marry a weak man who was powerless in the Central Plains, you should be able to imagine how resentful Aqinan was in his heart, right?" β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have grown up with Azinan since you were a child, and no one must know Azinan better than you. What can he do when he's angry?"
An Rou turned her back and covered her ears.
She didn't want to think about it anymore, and now that a person who regarded herself as an elder brother would treat herself and her country like this.
More importantly, Pei Jiangzhi is right. Although Aqinan is brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, and a good soldier who goes into battle to kill the enemy, he is very good at retribution.
She never imagined that Azinan would one day take revenge on her like this.
Pei Jiangzhi sighed, "My father is the head of the Pei family's generation. β
He turned his head to look at Xu Yun, who was sitting still, "It's not a secret, I also came here to find a mission to restore Magatama's aura." β
An Rou slowly turned around, with an incomprehensible look in her eyes: "But... My maid Chunying told me that Azinan was wronged. β
She shook her head bitterly, "... Who should I trust? β
Pei Jiangzhi said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you might as well listen to me, and you can decide for yourself." β
An Rou looked at him stunned, "You say." β
"When you and Pei Ling got married, the whole country celebrated, and the guards in the palace were much sparser than usual, yes or no?"
"Yes."
Pei Jiangzhi glanced at An Rou's expression, and he was quite peaceful, "Your royal family specially created a treasure box for Magatama and placed it high in the palace. β
"How do you know?" An Rou's eyes widened, and she took two steps back in disbelief, "Could it be that this is also passed down from your Pei family?" β
Pei Jiangzhi licked his dry lips, he didn't know why at the moment, and an indescribable feeling of heat surged in his heart.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said, "This is what I saw in a mural from a strange valley. β
"Your Highness Princess, that's not the point. Hear me on. β
An Rouhu nodded suspiciously.
"As a former member of the palace guards, Azinan should know exactly where the treasure box is."
An Rou nodded again.
"So, he took advantage of the wedding between you and Pei Ling, the whole country celebrated, and the palace guards were much lax than usual, sneaked in quietly and stole Magata."
An Rou affirmed: "With Achenan's skills, it's easy. β
Pei Jiangzhi glanced at An Rou's expression of wanting to speak, he waved his hand and continued: "Although he succeeded temporarily, the guards of the palace quickly realized that something was wrong, and they finally found out that it was Azinan who stole Magata. So, the guards caught him in the jungle outside the palace. β
"One of the palace guards lost his weight, and a spear pierced straight through Azinan's chest."
An Rou covered her mouth and took two steps back in disbelief.
"And then?"
"But after Aqinan fled the palace, he knew the surrounding terrain well. Even if he was seriously injured, he could find a place to hide. β
Pei Jiangzhi couldn't help but loosen his collar, he looked up at the sky, why was it getting hotter and hotter around?
Yu Guang glanced at Xu Yun, and also saw that he was sweating profusely, and kept wiping his sideburns with his hands.
He has a bad heart, there may be something strange in this forest, and the process must be accelerated.
Pei Jiangzhi's voice gradually slowed down: "The guards didn't find Aqinan, but Pei Ling and his subordinates, who happened to be passing by when they happened to get lost that day, met Aqinan who was dying. β
He glanced at An Rou, who was stunned, "Pei Ling and his party were on their way to the palace to marry Her Royal Highness the princess from the camp where they were stationed at the time. β
"Because they are not familiar with the local terrain, Pei Ling and his party are lost."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you know this, right?"
An Rou said, "I know... I still blame him for coming so late that day..."
Pei Jiangzhi cleared his throat, and then said: "Aqi Nan knew that he didn't have long to live, and he happened to see your fiancΓ©, so he stopped the group of people who greeted him. β
"Aqinan called Pei Ling to him, just looked at him, and didn't say anything."
"Not long after Pei Ling came to Angasa Kingdom, he naturally didn't know much about the living. When he saw that Azinan was covered in blood, he was so frightened that he wanted to take him away and heal him. But no one expected that Aqi Nan pushed the hook jade in his arms into Pei Ling's hand at this time, and rolled down the mountainside with a jump. β
"Pei Ling was startled and hurriedly sent someone to search at the bottom of the mountain, but he couldn't stay where he was and missed his wedding date with you, so in the end he had to send a few people to stay."
An Rou's heart was pounding, no... It's not like that, Chunying is her most trusted maid, she didn't tell her that...
Pei Jiangzhi glanced at An Rou, "Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the princess must have made some decisions." β
He turned to the ground where his backpack was placed, unzipped it, pulled out a bottle of water, and gulped it down.
After drinking the water, he still couldn't stop the hot breath around him. What's going on here?
As if she hadn't noticed Pei Jiangzhi's small movements all along, An Rou asked again: "But my maid Chunying told me that Pei Ling sent someone to steal Magua. β
Pei Jiangzhi sneered, he tilted his head, "An Rou, you are really a naΓ―ve little princess." β
He held out a finger, "There are too many suspicious things." β
"First, why did your maid Chunying choose to tell you the news of the theft of Magatama and the destruction of the country when your life was in danger? Why not let us know in advance? What is her intention? β
Asking rhetorically, Pei Jiangzhi had a strong aura. He looked at An Rou, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes again.
An Rou said, "No... Maybe Chunying just happened to know..."
She whispered in a low voice, as she spoke, as if she remembered something, her voice suddenly raised: "But what about Pei Ling?" What intentions does Pei Ling have! Even if he got Magatama from Azinan, why didn't he give me back Angasakoku! β
Pei Jiangzhi was a little ridiculous, and he said: "Your Royal Highness, you seem to have forgotten who voluntarily gave up following the large army to the south in order not to slow down the march of the large army when you were seriously ill and dying, and chose to stay in such a remote place to take care of you. Press these and leave them alone. β
"As I said before, Pei Ling first came to Angasa Country and was unfamiliar with the place. You are the treasure of the town of Ankasa, what chance do you think he can see as a living person? Even though he got Magatama at the time, he still didn't know that it was your treasure of the town. β
Pei Ling originally thought that he would wait to rescue Aqi Nan from the bottom of the mountain and ask him what this thing was. didn't expect that in the end, there was only one sentence of corpse facing him. β
"And after you got married, due to the successive urging of the elders of the clan, you had to speed up the pace of travel, and this matter was delayed, and Gou Yu has been collected by Pei Ling."
Pei Jiangzhi looked directly at An Rou's gaze, "So, this is the reason why you misunderstood that Pei Ling stole the magata." β
"No," a look of pain flashed in An Rou's eyes, "Could it be that my resentment for thousands of years has become a joke..."
"But, why did Chunying lie to me!"
Pei Jiangzhi was already hot and unbearably hot at this time, and his patience was running out, "You might as well think about whether Chunying and Aqi Nan are related by blood, or whether Chunying has affection for Aqi Nan." β
An Rou was suddenly enlightened, and her thoughts seemed to be opened up all of a sudden.
In the past, whenever Chunying saw Aqinan, he always blushed unconsciously, or was too shy to look directly at him. However, when she asked about it, Chunying was always evasive and hesitant. She was rough, just thinking that Chunying might have something on her mind and refused to tell him.
In his memory, a resentful gaze suddenly flashed.
It was a sunny afternoon, and the maid Shaku was grooming her in front of the bronze mirror. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she inadvertently saw Chunying standing not far behind her, raising a pair of eyes faintly and glaring at her viciously.
She was startled, and when she looked back at Chunying, she regained her humble and respectful demeanor.
...
Before you know it, it's already halfway through the day.
Among the trees, the mist was shrouded, and the white veil floated in mid-air. The trees stand quietly under the blue sky, waiting for the baptism of the sun. The golden sunlight shines through the dense layers of branches and leaves like wisps of silk threads, and spills dappled on the grass.
Half of An Rou's body was shrouded in the sun, and her petite body gradually became transparent.
She looked down and muttered to herself, "How can this be... These thousands of years of hatred are actually a joke..."
As she spoke, she burst out laughing, "I'm... I don't know who to hate in the end..."
Pei Jiangzhi stood aside, watching An Rou tremble all over, he frowned: "Don't be too excited..."
An Rou's hand clenched into a fist against her chest, and her face flushed unnaturally with rage.
She breathed hard, and thought she was about to choke.
Xu Yun, who had been outside the two of them, saw that this was wrong, and he shouted: "The little princess of the An family has disappeared because of the resentment that supported her, and it is very likely that she will be wiped out immediately!" β
"What!" Pei Jiangzhi's brain roared for a while, and he didn't have time to ask about the method of cracking the hook jade.
An Rou's body slowly curled up together as if it had been drained of blood, she tilted her head and smiled miserably at Pei Jiangzhi, "Thank you for telling me this... What you want, you'll get when I'm completely gone. β
"What-" Before Pei Jiangzhi finished speaking, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly set off around him, enveloping Luo Zhilan and rushing towards him.
As An Rou's body gradually dissipated, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. I don't have the same strong feeling of heat as before.
He was stunned, could this also have something to do with An Rou's soul?
