Fang Xu looked surprised and looked up at the old man standing at the door, "Old friend?"

The old man was stiff and didn't dare to turn around at all. He mumbled, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know you at all!"

"Then why don't you dare to turn around?" Granny Yuan stared at him closely, her eyes full of anger, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "Meng Suzhou."

The old man's shoulders shook, and he subconsciously wanted to lift his feet.

"Meng Suzhou, if you dare to take a step, I will blow up your prince's palace!" Granny Yuan seemed to have guessed his actions, and she spoke coldly, with no concealed threat in her words.

The old man's body was frozen in place, and he really didn't dare to move.

"Kiss... the Prince's Mansion?" Fang Xu frowned, his eyes wandering around the two of them, his face full of questions.

When they heard the word "prince", Bai Ji and Ye Ming, who were standing at the back, both changed their expressions.

Bai Ji's face suddenly turned pale when he remembered that he was fighting with the prince last night.

Ye Ming went even further. Not only did he give the prince a knife, but he also scolded him for getting up early. Now that he thought about it, he felt like his two penises were trembling and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Husband...Mrs...."

Fang Xu turned around and faced the two pale-faced people. He frowned and instantly understood what they were thinking.

He gave the two of them a calm look to comfort them, then looked back at Granny Yuan and said softly, "Mother, what on earth is going on?"

Granny Yuan's face was livid, she sat on the chair angrily, pointed to the opposite side and said loudly, "Let him say for himself, he is a good Prince Rong, why did he come to someone else's house to become a thief?"

Hearing this, Fang Xu turned his head suddenly and met Meng Suzhou's guilty eyes, "Are you really Prince Rong?"

Meng Suzhou coughed lightly, looking embarrassed, "I'm not a thief..."

Fang Xu glanced at him up and down, feeling surprised, and murmured, "How could you, a prince, fall to this level?"

"What's wrong with the prince?" Meng Suzhou snorted coldly, with a stiff tone, "Do you know what kind of place Dongluan is? It's good to have a stutter, but you have to stare at those exiled criminals all day long. It's so painful. , nowhere is it like the capital..."

"What are you talking about that is useless!"

Granny Yuan slapped the table and stood up, scaring the tall Meng Suzhou into showing his double chin.

"Let me ask you, why did you become a deserter when you clearly agreed to elope?"

Granny Yuan's voice echoed in the room, Meng Suzhou turned pale, and Fang Xu looked horrified, obviously not ready yet.

elopement……

deserter……

Fang Xu hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the two of them again.

This is a royal secret. If you listen to one more words, you will lose your head.

"Mother..." Fang Xu raised his head, rarely showing such a cautious look, "You have been friends for many years, so you must have a lot to say. I will step aside first so as not to hinder you from reminiscing."

Grandma Yuan looked at her, her face softened a bit, and she nodded slightly.

Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty, he quickly led Bai Ji and Ye Ming out, not forgetting to clear out the servants outside the door. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Meng Suzhou felt even more embarrassed. He buried his head very low and did not dare to say a word.

"Tell me," Grandma Yuan stared at him, her eyes like knives, very sharp, "We made an appointment back then, but you suddenly regretted it, slapped your butt and left, leaving me alone in the capital!"

"If it weren't for you...how could I take the initiative to ask Ying to marry me and go to the northwest?"

People are selfish. If there is a lover by your side, who is willing to leave home and gamble on the future?

Meng Suzhou closed his eyes and sighed, unwilling to speak.

Seeing how he looked like a dead man who couldn't beat a fart with eight sticks, Granny Yuan clenched her sleeves tightly and gritted her teeth and said, "Meng, after all these years, you are still as annoying as ever!"

"Marrying far away to the northwest, I don't blame you. I only hate that I am blind, but I fell in love with you among all the young men. I fell in love with you and ended up like this." Granny Yuan lowered her eyes to cover her eyes. With tears, "I had known this. If I could do it again, I would rather I never met you when I was young."

"That's all, let's go." Granny Yuan tilted her head, her voice choked with sobs, "Don't appear in front of me in the future. We will act like we don't know each other."

Hearing this, Meng Suzhou's heart ached. He raised his eyes to look at her and murmured, "I am not a deserter..."

Grandma Yuan didn't hear clearly and stared back at him, "What did you say?"

"I said, I am not a deserter, and I have never thought about escaping." Meng Suzhou's eyes were as bright as fire, and his eyes were sincere. "Back then, you and I fell in love, and we planned to marry each other in the northwest. I wrote a letter asking for marriage, but the emperor refused. In desperation, You and I just thought of elopement.”

"At that time, I had already packed my bags. It was your maid who leaked our secret. The emperor summoned me to the palace and talked all night long about what he wanted to do as his wife and concubine. He angrily accused me of ruining your reputation."

Meng Suzhou seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and whispered, "I handed over most of my military power, knelt on the ground and begged him all night, and broke my head in exchange for a word of grace."

Meng Suzhou twitched his lips and gave a self-deprecating smile, "Your father personally promised that he would not send you to get married and approved our marriage. The price was that I would guard the Dongluan border for him for five years. During this period, you will not be matched with another person.”

"I was sent out of the palace in a hurry. The emperor didn't even allow me to see you. I had no choice but to go to Dongluan and write you letters every day to relieve my lovesickness." Meng Suzhou looked up at her with a dazed expression. , "Who would have thought...I was waiting for the news of your marriage. You will be married to the king of the northwest in a prosperous age."

"I accept my incompetence and grow old overnight." Meng Suzhou looked at her steadily and said in a deep voice, "Nian Ci, who is the deserter between you and me?"

Grandma Yuan's face was dull and her back felt cold, "How is it possible... I have never received any letters!"

"That year I went to the palace to look for you, but in vain. I waited to no avail. I just thought you were a coward. My father came to see me and comforted me for a long time, and then I came up with the idea of ​​marrying to the northwest to take care of my father's worries."

Meng Suzhou turned away, lost sight of her, and said in a low voice, "From the moment the news of the marriage came to the capital, your father's favorite candidate has always been you."

Grandma Yuan was stunned for a long time, looking at his silver hair, unable to regain her consciousness for a long time.

Meng Suzhou lowered his eyes and did not want to look up again, "Now that I have returned to the capital, I see that everything is fine with you, so I don't want to disturb you, so I will leave first."

After saying that, Meng Suzhou turned around and left.

"stop."

Meng Suzhou's footsteps froze in place, he turned his head sideways, did not speak, and just stared at her.

Grandma Yuan looked at him and asked in a trembling voice, "Since you have hard feelings, why didn't you dare to recognize me just now?"

Meng Suzhou turned around, leaving only her back, and said in a deep voice, "Nian Ci, I have changed. Rather than doing this, I would rather live in your memory as I was when I was young."
