The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 193 You Are Ah Jiu 1
Xiao Xuanyu didn't answer, and led Wushuang out of Chunhua Palace.

Along the way, he didn't say a word, Wushuang looked at his face in puzzlement, and frowned slightly sadly.

She has always disliked men frowning, so did Xiao Junyi, and so did Xiao Xuanyu.

Passing the Liuli Palace on the way, Wushuang inevitably felt a pain in his heart, turned his head to look, Xiao Xuanyu also stopped, and didn't say anything.

Wushuang stared blankly at the Liuli Palace, which no longer had a name. The tea was cold and Concubine Lan went, so the Liuli Palace naturally ceased to exist.The enchanting concubine in the eyes of the empress dowager, who made the world envious back then, finally no longer exists.

Concubine Lan will always appear before Wushuang's eyes inadvertently. Sometimes she is releasing animals in the garden, sometimes she is playing the piano under the tree, and sometimes she is drinking tea under the sun... Lan Fei, occasionally thinking about it will make my heart ache, until the end of the day. She didn't even have anyone to wait for.

wait...

This made Wushuang suddenly think of Qing Dai, did she really let go, is she happy now?Has she finally let go after waiting for half her life?Are people waiting all their lives, and only when that person appears can they be considered complete?

Just paused at the Liuli Palace, Xiao Xuanyu led Wushuang forward again, all the way to the Linglong Palace, which is the residence of the Empress Dowager.

Wushuang hurriedly said, "To see the Queen Mother? Your Majesty, I won't go..."

She thought that Xiao Xuanyu was still struggling to go back for the sake of becoming a queen.

"No, not to the Empress Dowager's place." He gave a short answer, not allowing Wushuang to refuse, just walking all the way, suddenly he turned left and entered a relatively remote courtyard.

Although Wu Shuang stayed in the palace for a long time, she rarely went out.It was like this when she was with Concubine Lan, and she was also like this when she was a concubine, so she never knew that there was a house between Liuli Palace and Linglong Palace.

Xiao Xuanyu stood in front of the increasingly decayed and mottled Zhumen. The original bright colors had slowly melted away with the passage of time, but those feelings were still engraved in his heart.

Wushuang was a little puzzled, and wanted to ask where it was, but seeing Xiao Xuanyu's expression was a little off, he didn't dare to ask.

Xiao Xuanyu looked up at the palace gate and smiled, bitter and helpless, he turned his head and looked at Wushuang, no matter how the years change, no matter how many things he goes through, she is still by his side, they are still standing at the vermilion palace gate just like when they were young forward.

Xiao Xuanyu squatted down suddenly, Wushuang also squatted down hurriedly, and asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Wushuang, do you feel that this door is so majestic from this angle?" Xiao Xuanyu said, Wushuang raised his eyes to look at it, and suddenly felt that the door had changed, and the feeling was different from different angles. Squatting like this, like Children are generally tall, so I feel that this door is so tall.

"Back then, Ah Jiu and I were about the same height. This is a place we often come to. She came from the Liuli Palace, and I came from the Linglong Palace..."

Hearing his shallow tone, Wushuang seemed to have seen the scene too. The two children were standing in front of Zhumen, looking up at the tall palace gate, with curious smiles on their faces.

"Let's go in with me." Xiao Xuanyu said, stood up, and pushed open the dilapidated vermilion palace door by himself.

At this moment, apart from Li Ping and Ruyi, he didn't bring any other attendants with him, Xiao Xuanyu ordered them to wait outside the door, and only He Wushuang walked in.

It was already winter, and the overgrown courtyard looked clean at the moment. The dense grass was all withered, revealing the way.

Wushuang looked at the big courtyard curiously, and was led by Xiao Xuanyu, and walked in step by step.

The feeling of coming here is very similar to the feeling of going to Liuli Palace, and there is a sense of déjà vu.Wushuang walked inside with this sense of familiarity. This should be a play place in the palace, specially for children to play, or just an abandoned place like a drying yard.

This garden is very large, and it doesn't feel like the buildings in other places in the palace. There are some paintings and architectural styles that I have never seen before.

As he was walking, he saw a swing, Wushuang smiled and said, "There is another swing, go and have a look."

Xiao Xuanyu didn't stop, watched Wushuang run over and sat on it.

The swing was already rusty, but it was not broken, and the wooden boards on which he was sitting were already dry and dirty, but Wu Shuang sat down anyway, and Xiao Xuanyu didn't stop him.

Wushuang sat and swayed slightly, looking around curiously.

Xiao Xuanyu stood beside the swing, and asked softly, "Do you feel familiar, as if you have been here before?"

"Yeah." Wushuang nodded hurriedly, "Maybe he was passing by on business for Concubine Lan, I don't remember."

Xiao Xuanyu just laughed and said nothing.

Wushuang turned to look at him, "Why is the emperor always like this all day, he is obviously smiling, but he feels strange and unhappy."

Xiao Xuanyu didn't speak, but just shook his head.

Wushuang didn't ask any more questions, turned his head to look to the left, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Is there a big tank here?"

"Do you remember?!" Xiao Xuanyu was overjoyed, holding Wushuang's hand with anticipation.

"What do you remember, I just think it should be there." Wushuang was a little uneasy. She stood up and looked at the open space beside her. Why did the scene of two children playing by the tank always appear in her mind?Let her feel that there should be a tank here.

She walked forward uneasily, and the surrounding scenery was very familiar. Everywhere she looked, the scene of children playing would always appear.She didn't know where she had seen it, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

"Wushuang, do you still remember when you were a child?" Xiao Xuanyu asked cautiously. After all, she was only seven years old at that time, and many things may become blurred with age.

Wushuang asked cautiously, "What do you want to ask?" She thought it was Tianxianglou, Qingdai and so on.

"Occasionally, I hear you calling brother in your dreams, do you...have a brother?"

Facing Xiao Xuanyu's question, Wushuang was slightly startled, then nodded, "I got separated."

"Then do you know his name?" He was inexplicably nervous.

Wushuang shook her head, if she hadn't been rescued by Qing Dai, she would have died at the bottom of the valley long ago, but she doesn't remember much about her childhood, her own name was all given by Qing Dai, so how could she remember her brother's name.

Xiao Xuanyu felt a little lost, held Wushuang's hand, and said softly, "It's okay, think about it slowly."

Wushuang was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to say?"

"This is where I often come with Ah Jiu."

The mention of Ah Jiu is Xiao Xuanyu's sad thing.Wushuang didn't answer and didn't know how to answer.Why did he and Ah Jiu tell her about the secret base?
"Why did you hide the injury on your arm?" Xiao Xuanyu asked casually, and Wushuang exclaimed uneasily, "How do you know?"

"You fell asleep after giving birth that day, and I saw it when I was scrubbing you."

Wushuang looked at his body uneasily, and said in disbelief, "Give me..." As he spoke, he raised his voice, "I have so many court ladies, who wants you to help me..."

"I'm asking about scars, don't talk about anything else."

Wushuang had to face this problem, she had a scar on her arm, few people knew about it.In fact, to put it bluntly, it's not a big deal, it's just that I grew up in Tianxianglou, where, even the girls have to be clean, without even the slightest scar.And wouldn't a scar as big as Wushuang be ugly?
Therefore, Sanniang, the owner of Tianxianglou, taught Wushuang how to cover the scars.

The little girl also loves to be beautiful, and she also wants to cover up the ugly scars, so she has been using the method taught by Sanniang to cover them up. The gauze sleeves of summer dresses are very thin, and they can be seen without covering up.However, this covering has become a habit. After taking a bath every night, make a paste with water powder and cover the scar. It is not the fake skin that Xiao Xuanyu imagined.

As long as it is not soaked in water, there will be no problems, but when Wushuang is still abnormal, Xiao Xuanyu actually sees it.

Anyway, if you see it, you will see it, and Wushuang is not covering it for him, it is just a habit anyway.

Xiao Xuanyu asked how the scar came about, but Wushuang didn't know, "It fell!"

"Where did it fall?"

"How can I remember such a small thing, anyway, I have such a scar since I can remember things." Wu Shuang walked forward, thinking that Xiao Xuanyu cared so much, wouldn't he also think that thing was ugly?She was a little embarrassed, pretending to look around, "Your Majesty, what was this courtyard used to do?"

"The drying yard where the ladies of the court hang their clothes." He still remembered the scene of them running around in the sheets.

"Oh." Wushuang responded casually, still feeling annoyed at being found with such an ugly scar in her heart, Xiao Xuanyu's face and tone today were strange, just seeing a scar like this?Men are really narrow-minded.

Walking and walking, she saw a small side door, Wushuang looked back at Xiao Xuanyu in surprise, he nodded, and she opened the door curiously.

The door made a "squeak" sound, and a small pavilion for rest came into view, but this small pavilion was a bit strange.

But what is strange about it specifically, Wushuang can't say it.

"Would you like to sit inside?" Xiao Xuanyu suggested, Wushuang nodded, and walked three steps with him to the pavilion. The pavilion was also very dilapidated. This and the courtyard just now belonged to abandoned places. The palace is too big and has not been repaired. Up to here, it has been deserted.

Sitting on the cold stone bench, Wushuang looked at the pavilion boredly, and suddenly found that the painted paintings of the pavilion looked familiar.Originally, the painted paintings here were different from other places in the palace, but she felt familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.

"Once upon a time, various countries exchanged protons for peace, and among them there was a proton who believed in Christianity and lived in Daliang. Later, when the drying yard was built, he also helped, so some of the patterns here are very strange, not my traditional drawings in Daliang. " Xiao Xuanyu said, and patted a metal carved guardrail behind him, "And these are also written by him."

Wushuang cast his gaze over, and saw that the metal fence was already rusty, but the hollowed-out pattern was still visible, and a large number of crescent moons and stars were used in it.

Wu Shuang looked at it casually, and suddenly became uneasy, as if he had seen this pattern before.She stared at it intently, trying to recall where she had seen it before.

Xiao Xuanyu said, "We used to have enough fun at the drying yard, so we would rest here. That summer, when the pavilion was being rebuilt, and the patterns on the guardrails were not wrapped, Ah Jiu accidentally fell down. , was falling on this guardrail, and my arm was punctured. I still remember that there was a lot of blood at that time, and we were all terrified..."

Wushuang was a little confused when he heard that, "Then what happened next?"

"Later, because the cut was too deep, the scar was still left after removing the gauze tape. Because of this, I was punished by the late emperor to kneel for a day and a night. Ah Jiu went to beg, saying that the scar was beautiful. It was the moon and stars. She favourite……"

The more Wushuang listened, the more disturbed she became, and her body trembled inexplicably.After Xiao Xuanyu finished speaking, she looked at herself with her eyes, and her heart kept beating. She looked away from the guardrail, and wanted to say something, but found that her tongue was tied and she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Xuanyu said, "Wushuang, have you noticed that the scar pattern on your arm is exactly the carved pattern of this guardrail?"

Wushuang was overwhelmed by great unease, she said foolishly, "What a coincidence, Ah Jiu and I have the same injuries..."

"It's not the same, it's you who is Ah Jiu, and Ah Jiu is you!" Xiao Xuanyu grabbed Wushuang's shoulders abruptly, "I said before that Ah Jiu is not dead, you stand in front of me alive, you are Ah Jiu!"

"I'm not!" Wushuang hurriedly pushed Xiao Xuanyu away, "Your Majesty, did you miss Ah Jiu so much that you made up a story like this? How could I be Ah Jiu? I've never been to the capital, but I'm from Yuzhou. Besides, this scar is the same, maybe it’s just a coincidence, it’s really just a coincidence.”

Wushuang didn't know why he was so scared, and was anxious to get rid of Ah Jiu.

"I sent people to Yuzhou, and I didn't ask for proof. How could I say this? You were brought back to Yuzhou by Qingdai when you were seven years old. Before that, you didn't live in Yuzhou at all. You are Ah Jiu. , you are the nine princesses of the palace, and you live here, in the Liuli Palace."

"No, I'm not..."

"If you're not, why do you have the same preferences as Concubine Lan? Why do you have the peace talisman I gave you?"

"What peace talisman?"

"It's the thin gold safety card, tied with a red string, with the same pattern on the front and back, you have been carrying things since you were a child, don't you recognize it?" Xiao Xuanyu said, and took out the safety talisman from his arms.

This is a piece of safety talisman made of gold, Wushuang's mind is in chaos, she obviously gave it to Qiu Rong, why is it here at Xiao Xuanyu's place.
