"County... Princess... what is that!" Ah Zhu grabbed Su Changle's sleeve tightly, his whole body pressed against Su Changle's body, and he could no longer hold the lantern in his hand.

Su Changle took the lantern and lowered it a little, and then looked towards the second floor of the small building. There were shadows inside, and there were indeed shadows of candles, but the candlelight was weak and was blown back and forth by the wind. Looking from the outside

Not really.

"It's candlelight." Su Changle's lips turned white, but his steps did not retreat at all, "It seems that someone is indeed coming tonight."

Su Changle said and continued to move forward.

Azhu subconsciously pulled Su Changle: "Princess Princess, do you want to go further?"

"We are already here, why don't we just come to see who is up here?" Su Changle patted Ah Zhu's hand, "Don't worry, even if Pei Du is looking for me, he is here to find the princess. What's more,

Pei Du will never come."

Ah Zhu's head is a little confused now, and he can no longer hear what Su Changle is saying.

Su Changle was pulled by her and couldn't move at all. She turned to look at Ah Zhu with sweat on her face: "A Zhu, just wait here for me."

With that said, Su Changle pulled her hand away and walked forward holding the lantern.

Azhu's hand was free and she grabbed a few times out of thin air, but only caught the cold air. Only then did she regain her composure and quickly took a few steps forward to keep up with Su Changle.

She took Su Changle's hand and said in a small voice, "Princess, I will accompany you."

Su Changle turned his head to look at her and nodded.

Jinghu Lake is not big, so the two of them walked around the lake for a while, and then went directly to the small building in the southeast corner. The two people carried lanterns and walked to the small building. The door of the small building was slightly open, and the entrance

The plaque at the place carries the words "Jinglou" in lake green.

"Princess Princess, have you been here before?"

"Yeah." Su Changle replied lightly.

Su Changle looked at the word "Jinglou" and her mind suddenly went back to when she was eight years old, the first time she accidentally ran into this place. That was the second time Su Changle met Pei Du.

But this was the first time she knew that this person was called Pei Du.

--

"Kill him with your own hands..." Jiang Shen unconsciously curled up his lips after listening to Lin Huaichuan's words.

In the eyes of others, that little girl has always been arrogant and domineering. Although everyone is respectful, humble and tolerant in front of her, they regard her as a trouble in their hearts. Even those members of the aristocratic family who do not want to be delayed by her regard her as a snake or scorpion.

, you can hide as far as you can.

But after getting in touch with him during this period, he felt that Su Changle might not be what others saw.

He was really curious about how cruel and determined a little girl who could kill someone with her own hands was.

Lin Huaichuan looked at Jiang Shen's expression and found that he was not impatient, so he continued.

"The first time Su Changle met Pei Du was when she was six years old. At that time, not long after Pei Du arrived at the Pei Mansion, Lord Pei had such an illegitimate child without any secret, and he did not hide it.

, so they took him to the hairpin party together. That was also the first time everyone saw Pei Du.

"He was only eight years old at the time, but his appearance took after his mother's, and he was very beautiful. At that time, the news about the Pei Mansion spread throughout Jinling, and the children of the family, including my son, were very dissatisfied with him, no matter how he looked.

, not from the main wife, naturally he is nothing to this Jinling family.

"At that time, no one cared what he looked like. Everyone had known each other since childhood, so they naturally ostracized him. Su Changle was only six years old at that time, and she was just a little girl who had just started to remember. Long Tou Yan was a messy person, and she was tall.

He was short and didn't want to be held by others, so he ran away on his own after a while.

"The Crown Prince took the people to look for him quickly. Unexpectedly, he found the princess in the peach blossom forest. He didn't expect that the little girl came back and was eager to find a little boy. It must be that she went to find the Crown Prince. No matter what the Crown Prince said, there was no one.

She didn't believe him even if he came to find her. So she kept looking since she came back, but Pei Du never attended any banquets after that, until the prince and princess took her to the Pei Mansion for the wedding..."

--

The door in front of him was not closed. Su Changle opened it with a slight push.

Su Changle and Azhu walked inside. On the first floor, there were only a few chairs and tables in the reception area. The place where the candles were lit was on the second floor, so the two of them went up.

Su Changle stepped on the stairs, and the old and disrepaired wooden stairs made a creaking sound.

She ignored the sound, let alone fear, and just walked up.

The two of them had just reached the second floor. When they looked up, they saw the white candle on the ground, but there was no one there. Su Changle and A-Zhu completely walked up to the second floor and walked in the direction of the candle.

The candles were placed on the ground, and there was some ashes in a brazier. Judging from the temperature, it should have taken some time to burn out.

The candle was dim and there was only a little light, but Su Changle actually saw something on the table. She raised the lantern and took a closer look. When she saw it clearly, she froze in place.

"Princess." Azhu called out in a low voice, followed, and then exclaimed.

That thing is just a simple ranking with five words written on it——

Pei Du’s spiritual position.

"It seems that someone is really thinking about Pei Du..." Su Changle whispered.

But Ah Zhu was really scared. She held Su Changle's hand, looked around cautiously and asked, "Princess, where is this place?"

"This was the place where Pei Du lived before," Su Changle also looked around, "This second floor is Pei Du's study. It is also where the princess first knew that he was Pei Du."

Pei Ruofu was already quite young when he won the top spot. It was because of his years of hard work that he, a commoner, could have a seat in the court. And because he had Pei Du, an illegitimate son, he didn't discuss the marriage until very late.

An orphan girl who was an old minister who had been divorced many times.

The orphan girl originally lived in a noble family, but when the family suffered a disaster, everyone except her was gone. So she was removed from the family and stayed at home to observe mourning until His Majesty brought her and Pei Ruofu together.

Because it was His Majesty who arranged the wedding and it was Old Chen, an orphan, Pei Ruofu's wedding was very grand. Naturally, the prince and princess also arrived with Su Heng and Su Changle.

Su Changle was eight years old that year. Ever since she was six years old, she had been thinking about finding the boy she talked to in the Peach Blossom Forest every day. Now she doesn't even have much memory of him.

"So... the princess found him at that wedding banquet?"

Azhu was still young at the time, and the person next to Su Changle was not her, so she didn't know about it.

Su Changle nodded: "At that time, I was young but loved to run around. The Japanese princess who attended the wedding did not know that he was here. At that time, those adults were just eating and drinking in front. I felt bored and ran to the backyard. That day

There were so many people but no one paid attention to me, so I ran here accidentally. Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw Pei Du looking outside at the second floor.

"The whole Peidu is covered with red joy, but his place may be remote and there is nothing. Later, the princess found out that this is his residence, and he has always lived in this poor place.

"Everyone thinks that Mr. Pei is kind and righteous, and does not dislike the illegitimate son, but they don't know that he is just starving in the house, and no one really cares about him."

Azhu was fascinated by what he heard and asked: "Then he also recognized the princess?"
