marry a princess

Chapter 75

At first glance, this crescent-shaped topaz jade pendant looks like an ordinary thing that can be seen on the street at any time. There are no patterns on both sides of the jade pendant, and it is extremely smooth, but it is warmed up by the tentacles.Her intuition told her that this jade pendant was by no means an ordinary item, and also, how could someone in the royal family wear an ordinary item with them.

Bai Ziwan took the jade pendant and took a closer look. It seemed that he had seen a jade pendant similar to this one before, but for a while, he couldn't remember exactly where he had seen it.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Yuan Hongyi's eyes suddenly darkened, and he asked after a long time, "Do you really not remember this piece of jade?"

Seeing the flash of disappointment in his eyes, Bai Ziwan was full of doubts. Could it be that this jade pendant really has something to do with her?He stared at the jade pendant for a long time, only to feel that it was inexplicably familiar, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Shaking his head, Bai Ziwan passed the jade pendant over, "I don't remember seeing this jade pendant before."

Yuan Hongyi took the jade pendant and held it in his hand, "Have you ever been to Jiangnan before?" He stared at her without blinking.

"Jiangnan?" Bai Ziwan's mind was turned into a mess.Just now I asked her if she remembered Yupei, and now she is asked if she has ever been to Jiangnan. Is there any connection between the two?She had indeed been to Jiangnan, but it was definitely not the Jiangnan he said.

Seeing Bai Ziwan looking at him blankly, Yuan Hongyi frowned slightly, did he recognize the wrong person?But... suddenly remembered something, he grabbed her hand, rolled up his sleeves, and a red birthmark like a plum blossom suddenly appeared on the crook of his arm.

No mistake, she was the little girl back then.Yuan Hongyi was ecstatic.Bai Ziwan broke free from his hand, stood up abruptly, and told her intuitively that there must be some kind of connection between Yupei, Jiangnan, Yuan Hongyi and her, no, the real Bai Ziwan.

"Don't go!" Grasping her hand quickly, Yuan Hongyi stood up, "Listen to me to tell you a story, after listening to the story, if you insist on leaving, we will go back." Pulling her to sit down, still holding hands Hold her, forget to let go.

In the summer ten years ago, Empress Xian was unfortunately seriously ill and offered to go to the Jiangnan Palace to recuperate. Nine-year-old Yuan Hongyi went to Jiangnan together.I don't know if it was because of the intrigues and intrigues who were far away from the harem, or because of the comfortable weather in the south of the Yangtze River, but within half a month, the late empress's illness was almost cured, but the late empress didn't want to go back to the palace, and continued to stay in Jiangnan because of illness.

The nine-year-old boy was just naughty and active. Because of the rules in the palace and because he didn't want to involve his mother, he followed the rules very well. When no one was prepared, he sneaked out of the palace alone to play.

One afternoon, the child warmed the book in the room for a while, and felt bored after writing a few words.He asked the eunuch who was guarding him to go to the kitchen to get some food on the pretext of being hungry, and then sneaked out to play. Unexpectedly, in the cloudless sky just now, there were dark clouds, and after a while, there were lightning and thunder, and then it rained heavily. It was so dark all around, it was terrifying.

After running for a while, the child hid under the eaves of a house, worried that his mother would not find him, and was also afraid that some eunuchs would be punished because of him.But the rain was too heavy, and he couldn't move forward.When he was so anxious and at a loss what to do, a little girl walked up to him holding an umbrella.

"It's raining, why don't you go home?"

Xiao'er looked at the little girl under the umbrella, her eyes were as clear as amber.He scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I..."

The little girl smiled, her thin eyebrows were like crescent moons, "Did you forget to take your umbrella when you came out, so you couldn't go back?"

He nodded and hummed.

"I'll lend you my umbrella, hurry home, or your mother will worry about you." The little girl went to the eaves and handed over the umbrella.

"You gave me the umbrella, how do you go home?"

The little girl pointed to the opposite courtyard door, "That's my home, I'll just run back." Saying that, she stuffed the umbrella into the child's hand, "Hurry up and go home, I'm going home too, or I will go home if mother can't find me." I'm worried." With that said, he was about to leave.

"Wait," the child grabbed the little girl, looked down at himself, took off a jade pendant around his waist and stuffed it into her hand, "You take this jade pendant, I'll come back tomorrow to return the umbrella, and you can return the jade pendant to me again." good?"

The little girl glanced at the jade pendant in her hand, agreed crisply, and then ran to the opposite courtyard gate with her hands on her head, turned around and waved at the child with a smile, and pushed the door open to enter.

"I went to return the umbrella in the afternoon of the second day, only to learn that the little girl had left with her mother early in the morning. He had been inquiring about the little girl's whereabouts all these years, but he couldn't find her. It was not until September last year that he found the little girl. girl."

Originally, he wanted to wait for Bai Ziwan to remember himself, but when he heard Ziwan begging him to let him go, he was afraid, afraid that she would really leave.Although he never really knew her, he knew that if she wanted to leave, he would absolutely not force her to stay.

When Yuan Hongyi said the word "little girl", Bai Ziwan had already guessed that the little girl was "myself". The little girl back then?

Recalling Yuan Hongyi's joy when he rolled up his sleeves just now, the answer is already clear.But this Bai Ziwan is not that Bai Ziwan, how should she explain to him?Bai Ziwan closed her eyes, feeling a headache like a splitting headache. Why did she encounter the plot in the novel?

Seeing Bai Ziwan's frowning look, the only hope in his heart disappeared instantly, but he still asked, "Do you really not remember?" Then he said, "Forget it, if you don't remember, don't remember, as long as I Just remember."

Hearing the disappointment in Yuan Hongyi's words, Bai Ziwan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and looked at him sideways, "If I told you that I am not the little girl you said, what would you do?" He would agree Let her go?
Yuan Hongyi stared into her eyes for a while, and said, "One year. If you still insist on leaving after one year, I will let you go."

When he went back, he didn't run all the way like when he came out. When he returned to the city, seeing Chu Chunlan and Mei Zhu coming out together, Bai Ziwan told Yuan Hongyi to stop.Yuan Hongyi got off his horse and handed over his hand.This time Zi Wan did not refuse, took his hand and got off the horse.

I went to talk to Chunlan Meizhu for a few words, and when I came back, I saw a soldier talking to Yuan Hongyi, walked over and said, "Go if you have something to do."

"then you……"

Bai Ziwan pointed to the front, "This is not far from the General's Mansion, I can just walk back by myself, and nothing will happen."

Yuan Hongyi said to the soldiers, "Go back and tell the general that I'll go find him later." He carried Bai Ziwan onto the horse, rolled over, and rode away with the horse.

At the gate of the General's Mansion, Yuan Hongyi helped Bai Ziwan down, "I won't go in with you, I may not come back at noon, just tell Uncle He if you want to eat anything."

Seeing Yuan Hongyi running away, Bai Ziwan turned back and went to the mansion.Although one year is not long, it can change many things, but she knows that some things will not change because of time.It's better to fall in love with another person again.The reason why he agreed to the agreement was just to hope that he would really keep his promise and let her go after a year, so that his father and brother would not be implicated because of her departure.

"Master..." Yun Xiang was restless because of Xiao He's words, and when she saw Bai Ziwan came back, she ran towards her like a savior, "Master, you are back."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

After Yun Xiang explained the reason of the matter, Bai Ziwan was not surprised, and patted Yun Xiang reassuringly, "It's fine."

However, Yun Xiang couldn't push it to the extreme, "Fifth Prince knows that I know martial arts, will he send the servants away? Will he punish the master?"

"No." He concealed the crime of deceiving the emperor, so how could he punish his father for discovering that Rue Xiang knew martial arts.Bai Ziwan said, "Go and see if Xiao He is there, let him come over." He said and went straight into the house.

Just as he took off his cloak and put it on the shelf, Xiao He came in.Bai Ziwan walked to the table and sat down, pointed to the opposite side, motioned Xiao He to sit down, poured another cup of tea for him and put it in front of him, poured one for himself, and took a small sip.

"Yuxiang, you go out first, and no one is allowed to disturb you without my permission." After Yunxiang left, Bai Ziwan looked at Xiao He, "Do you remember what you said back then?"

Xiao He's eyes flashed, and he said respectfully, "Remember."

"Then have you ever done it?" Bai Ziwan gracefully placed the teacup, and her eyes suddenly became sharp when looking at Xiao He.

Xiao He stood up abruptly, bowed his head and said, "Xiao He knows about Master's suspicion, but Xiao He has never betrayed Master."

"Do you think I will still believe your words?" Bai Ziwan said coldly, "If you hadn't told the fifth prince, how would the fifth prince know that I went to Zuixiang Tower? You knew what happened that night early in the morning, right? The result? You call me master, but you never really regard me as your master, so why force yourself to follow me?"

Hearing this, Xiao He knelt down on one knee, "If I don't want to, even the fifth master can't force me to do so. Since I was a child, besides the fifth master, master is the only woman Xiao He really admires. Following master, Xiao He is naturally willing." Xiao He He raised his head, "In the past, no matter where he went, there were always many people who would protect the fifth master, but after the fifth master was demoted, those people were afraid to avoid it. The fifth master was worried that someone would harm the master and asked me to protect the master. I was afraid that those people would take advantage of the fifth master. One person is not good for him, so..."

Thinking about the day when he left the capital, except for the fourth concubine and Hongyi, neither the He family nor the Tang family came out to see him off, thanks to him being so loyal.Still following Yuan Hongyi.Bai Ziwan raised his hand, "Okay, stop kneeling, get up."

"Thank you master." Xiao He stood up.

"Who is the man in black in the inn, the man in black who chased us down the road, and the man who appeared in Zuixiang Tower? Why did they want to kill the Fifth Prince?" She must know who the other party is, or she will die one day We all know who the murderer is.

"This..." Xiao He hesitated, "Master, it's better not to know, Fifth Lord doesn't want master to get involved."

"You don't want me to get involved?" Bai Ziwan smiled sarcastically, "You don't want me to get involved, so why use me as bait?"

Xiao He said, "It was Xiao He who neglected his duty and failed to protect the safety of the master, please punish him." Then he bowed his head and knelt down on one knee.

"What's the point of a big man kneeling down at every turn? Get up. I won't punish you, as long as you tell me who they are."

Xiao He stood up, "Fifth Master repeatedly confessed not to let Master know..."

"Who is your master?" Bai Ziwan patted the table, changed from his usual kindness, and said in a cold voice, "Since you are so loyal to your fifth master, you go to find fifth master and tell him whether I will Remember you, you will continue to follow him in the future."

"Master..." Xiao He really jumped, looked at Bai Ziwan in disbelief, and replied, "It's the Tenth Prince."
