The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 128 Separation 4
Wu Shuang was silent and silent, but his heart was in a mess because of the scene just now and Xiao Junyi's appearance.It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Junyi, so I didn't know that I would make such a fuss as soon as we met.

"Remember the bird on the corridor!" Concubine Lan said quietly, "That was the first time I saw you, but it was from a distance, and you couldn't see me. At that time, I saw you pushing King Heng walking there In the quiet and winding corridor, I feel that the picture is really beautiful and beautiful. To say something that should not be said, when I learned that you are Mrs. Xiao, not Concubine Heng, I feel sorry for you. "

Wushuang dejectedly said, "Actually, I almost... I almost became Concubine Heng."

"This is the destiny, even if it is a little bit short, it is still bad. If you miss it, it is too difficult to make up for it. In fact, King Heng likes you. It is an easy thing to ask the emperor or me for you." , but he didn’t, it’s nothing more than respecting your opinion and hoping you will be willing.”

Concubine Lan seemed to have more than a little affection for Xiao Xuanyu, and she rarely heard her mention any prince, but now, when talking about Xiao Xuanyu, it was full of compliments.

Wushuang listened, always felt that those things were so far away from her.Including Heng Wang, his head is full of his handsome appearance, she is an ordinary person, she really feels that she is not worthy.

"Things have come to this point, if there is no big opportunity, you and Xiao Junyi are impossible." Lan Fei loosened the soil for Lan Hua, and said casually, "So, do you still care about him and like him?"

"Yeah." Wu Shuang nodded, blushing slightly.

Concubine Lan smiled, and then said, "Persist on what you can't get, why bother? You are embarrassing yourself. There are so many roads you can't go, but you have to go to that dead end."

Wushuang helped her hold the bonsai, and said calmly, "No matter how many roads there are, if the end is not him, then the walk will be in vain. Isn't the empress also obsessed with the past? Those unreachable pasts, the empress still remembers the past, isn't it the same? ?"

"You are presumptuous!" Ah Xi suddenly reprimanded, Lan Fei signaled that she was fine, and turned to look at Wu Shuang, her beautiful eyes seemed to be watery, so beautiful.

Every time he looked at Concubine Lan, Wushuang would look insanely. How could the Emperor not like a woman made of water like this.

"I'm such a bad example." Lan Fei smiled, "It's because I walked this path and lived in suffering, so I don't want others to do the same."

"Then why don't you let go, let go?"

"Can't let go, can't forget."

"The slave girl is different from the empress. The empress is embarrassing herself. She walked the road paved for you by the emperor, but she is obsessed with the past. But the slave girl does not go any way, but stays where she is, so that she will not provoke anyone. People, stay alone in the world."

Concubine Lan suddenly laughed. After finishing the flowers and plants, she stood up. Ah Xi immediately fetched water. She washed the mud on her hands and said, "Your thinking is too naive, child."

Wushuang was puzzled, Lan Fei said, "Even if you want to stay where you are, someone will always pull you into their path. If one day you become Princess Heng, what will you do?"

"I will not."

Lan Fei laughed, with a barely audible sneer, as if she didn't believe it.

Wushuang reiterated again, "I will definitely not, I am Xiao Junyi's wife."

"Now you are still speaking so confidently. How can Xiao Junyi's wife be a slave? Wushuang, things in life are not as simple as you think, and there is no absolute statement. What you insist on now will eventually come to an end. One day, it will hurt you deeply! I, you have seen it, I can't let it go, if one day, you will be like me, I hope you can let it go!"

There was sadness between the lines of Concubine Lan's words, Wushuang's heart moved, "Niang Niang..."

She felt sorry for Concubine Lan, but she was also afraid of herself.If it is true as what Lan Fei said, then what will she do for the rest of her life, just like Lan Fei, guarding a person she doesn't love, forever?
She suddenly felt so terrible, so sad!

Being in Liuli Palace for a long time seems to be isolated from the world, but it is not completely.There is always some news, even though they don't want to know, there are people who talk about it and let them hear it.

It has been the number of times the emperor has refuted Princess Qianxue's request to marry Xiao Junyi.For a princess who repeatedly asks to be married, the daughter's family has no shame at all, and the emperor is dying of a headache for her.

She just wanted to find a son-in-law as soon as possible and marry Qianxue, but that person was definitely not Xiao Junyi.

But Qianxue didn't do it, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself three times, and it was performed in turn, that is, she would not marry anyone except Xiao Junyi.The emperor has nothing to do with her, he can only continue to raise her, if she doesn't marry, she won't marry, she is responsible for delaying her youth.

Since that pavilion, Wushuang has never met Xiao Junyi and Xiao Xuanyu again, they are idle princes, it seems that they disappeared at the same time.

Wushuang had no excuse to go to the Tai's uterus, so he didn't know whether he entered the palace or not.

For a long time, there were no celebrations in the palace. The emperor ordered to prepare a palace banquet, a grand feast of singing and dancing, and enjoy it with everyone.

The queen mother wanted to go to the palace banquet, so naturally Concubine Lan had to avoid it.Wushuang really couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother was so mean to Concubine Lan, such a good daughter-in-law and docile, yet the Queen Mother had something bad to say, Wushuang was speechless.

Being imprisoned by such a queen mother, Wushuang still felt pity for Xiao Xuanyu.

On this day, Wu Shuang went to Huamu Palace as usual to fetch orchids that had just been potted, and was about to move them away when a little eunuch asked, "Isn't Empress Orchid like calla lilies, why don't you go get them?"

The little eunuch was a bit unfamiliar, since he was a newcomer, Wushuang said, "Where is the calla lily, why didn't I see it?"

"The Flower and Wood Palace at the Southwest Gate has new flowers today, and there are calla lilies inside. The higher-ups told me to keep them specially for Concubine Lan. I thought you knew about it when I informed the people in Liuli Palace to pick them up. Go get it!"

"I don't know!" Wu Shuang also just found out that there is a Flower and Wood Palace in the southwest gate, and she has never been there before, but after thinking about it, the southwest is the Queen Mother's Kangshou Palace, so naturally she has to avoid it.

But it is true that there have been no calla lilies in Liuli Palace for a long time. I don’t know if there was something wrong with the planting of the pot last time, and it died soon. Concubine Lan has been sad for a long time because of this. It's like death.

It was originally the flowers that the emperor rewarded, so of course Wushuang wanted to get them, but it was getting late, and I wanted to go the next day, but the little eunuch kindly said that he would lead her the way, so Wushuang also went.

When Tuyu greeted the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuanyu who was about to leave the palace, Wushuang saluted slightly and didn't say much.

Passing by each other, Wushuang never looked sideways, as if they were two completely strangers.

Xiao Xuanyu was already used to such indifference, not to mention that he was a high-ranking prince, and he didn't bother to talk to her too much, but he still turned his head to look worriedly, it was so dark, why was she still wandering around outside?
Wushuang followed the little eunuch all the way, but after walking a long distance, it was already dark, and there was still no shadow of Huamu Palace.

"How long will it take? It's already dark." Wushuang didn't carry a lantern at the moment, if it wasn't for the street lights made of lanterns on the side of the road, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the road at all.But even so, the southwest gate was quiet, and it was still dim and hard to see.

"Soon, soon..."

"You've said it many times, but how fast is it? My legs are tired from walking, forget it, come back tomorrow, it's getting so cold, I'm going back to the palace." Being so remote, Wushuang became more and more cautious as he walked, and just as he was about to go back home, the little eunuch suddenly blocked the way, "Soon, follow me, we will be there in a while."

"I'm not going, I'll go tomorrow." Wushuang became more and more uneasy, and wanted to go back, but he grabbed his hand and said in a panic, "Let go of me!"

"You're going with me, I'll let you go." The little eunuch showed eagerness, Wushuang couldn't be bothered, pushed him away, and ran away, but the little eunuch yelled, "Don't let her run away, Quick, kill her!"

To kill her? !

Wushuang turned pale with shock, and saw several people blocking the way, it was too dark, and they were wearing night clothes with masks, so they didn't know who they were.

"Who are you?" Wushuang pretended to be calm and shouted loudly, "I don't know where this is, you dare to kill people in the palace, you are doomed. I will pretend I have never seen you, and leave quickly !"

The men in black looked at each other, Wushuang thought they were discussing to let her go, but she made a big mistake, saw the flash of the knife, and the man in black came to kill her, she was so frightened that she yelled, "Come on, help me!" Ah, assassins...there are assassins"

However, no matter how much she shouted, there was no reinforcements around.

Only then did she realize that this was the Southwest Gate, far away from the Liuli Palace, and not far from the Empress Dowager's bedroom, and the Empress Dowager was old and quiet, few people came and went outside the palace, and there were not many guards.

Wushuang didn't have that self-confidence either. Her throat was so big that people in Kangshou Palace could hear it.

"Help, help"

She ran desperately, but suddenly tripped over the long grass on the ground, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, before she could say anything about the pain, she turned her head, and the man in black stabbed at him with his sword.

"Ah..." Wushuang was so frightened that she covered her eyes and screamed, thinking that she would surely die, but in the next moment, she was quickly pulled up by someone and spun around to avoid the assassination of the man in black.

Wushuang opened her eyes suddenly, the night was hazy, and the other party was covered with a sweat towel, so she couldn't see who the person who saved her was.

"Don't meddle in your own business, she is the one we want to kill!" the man in black said.

Wushuang was so frightened that she hugged her savior tightly, for fear that he would abandon her.He turned his head and looked at himself, his eyes were soft, as if comforting, Wushuang suddenly felt that the eyes were familiar, but before he could understand, all the men in black rushed up.

With swords coming and going, Wushuang couldn't see anything clearly, she could only hug his waist tightly and hide behind him.

"ding ding"

The sound of swords colliding was very ear-piercing, and the two sides were fighting inextricably. Suddenly, the ears became noisy, and someone said, "It's over there, over there."

Wushuang raised her eyes and saw that Xiao Junyi was leading the soldiers over, she was overjoyed, she was distracted for a moment, she left the protective circle, and several swords attacked at the same time.

"Be careful!" The people around him yelled, and pulled Wushuang into his arms, trying to avoid the knives, but he was still accidentally injured, the knife cut across his left arm, and his arm around Wushuang suddenly loosened.

Wushuang was also shocked, seeing soldiers coming, all the men in black fled, even the man who rescued Wushuang slipped away immediately.Unexpectedly, he was saving people, so why did he run away, not to mention that he was still injured.

"Wushuang, are you okay!" Xiao Junyi rushed over and ordered, "Catch me, catch them all, and don't let any one go!"

"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.

Only then did Xiao Junyi look Wushuang up and down, and he was relieved to be sure that she was fine.

And Wushuang was full of curiosity about the person who saved her just now, and couldn't help but think of that time in the autumn palace corridor, who was the person who saved her?Could they be the same person?

"Don't be afraid, it's all right." Xiao Junyi thought she was scared, and gently hugged her in a daze.

Wu Shuang was slightly stunned, and only realized Xiao Junyi had come after a while, and continued to lean in his arms, feeling a little startled, afraid at first, if not for that person just now, I am afraid that he would never see Xiao Junyi again.

Why would anyone kill her?Who is it, could it be that the Queen murdered her?No, she didn't dare, as long as she died, the queen would surely die too, she definitely didn't have the guts to risk her life.

Who is that?Qianxue?Because of her and Xiao Junyi?But, Qianxue is a princess of a country, no matter how much she messes around, she won't be like this.
