"Are you curious why I didn't die?" She had also heard a lot of rumors in the palace. A woman would die on August 15th of every month, but she spent the 15th of August safely twice but did not die.
, indeed a little curious.┃- ┃
Shan Yuwu looked at her with a smile. It seemed that she had misunderstood him, but that was fine. She could investigate her when she had time.
"No - this is not the reason why I am curious. I will tell you when the time is right." He responded to her simply.
"Oh." Cen Xue murmured softly, looking at the calm lake in the distance.
This is a beautiful place in the Imperial Garden. The entire Imperial Garden is built around a lake. I heard that this lake is about two thousand square kilometers. Although it is not very, very large, it is among the harems of the Three Kingdoms.
, and only Loulan Kingdom has such a beautiful lake for the harem to enjoy.
"Isn't it beautiful here?" Shan Yuwu suddenly asked as she looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her in a daze.
Nodding, when she first came to the Royal Garden, she fell in love with the scenery here.
A lake is surrounded by willow branches, and there are several small boats parked on the edge of the lake, which are said to be used by people in the harem to visit the lake on weekdays.
The blue waves are rippling, the breeze is gently blowing the surrounding willow branches, and the clear lake reflects the beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden on the lake, especially the most eye-catching stargazing tower in the garden.
"This place was even more beautiful three years ago. I remember that there used to be a lotus pond not far in front of the lake. Every midsummer, people in the palace liked to go to the lotus pond to pick lotus seeds and lotus flowers." Recalling that memory, I was the happiest.
On that day, Shan Yuwu couldn't help but reveal a beautiful smile.
Cen Xue looked at her sideways. Her smile was beautiful, as charming as a flower bathed in the sun. But there was one thing she didn't understand. Why did she have to talk about three years ago?
I remember that Brother Chunyu also told her about an accident three years ago. Was it that accident that led to all the changes now? Including him?
"High Priest, can you answer me a question?" She asked cautiously, fearing that she would be unhappy or not want to tell her.
Turning to look at her, she saw the doubts in Cen Xue's heart and knew what she wanted to ask herself. Anyway, she would know this secret sooner or later.
"Do you want to ask me, what happened three years ago? Why did the king end up like this?" He met her eyes bluntly.
Nodding, Cen Xue calmly expressed his stance to her.
Shan Yuwu suddenly reached out and held her hand tightly. He stepped forward and buried his head in her ear, saying softly: "I know you really want to know, but now is not the right time. Waiting will be the right time."
When the time comes, I will naturally tell you the truth, or the king himself will tell you the truth."
After saying that, Shan Yuwu let go of her hand and sat back in her original position...
Cen Xue stood there for a while, then sat down with her, thinking about what she just said, when would be the most appropriate time.
"Um... High Priest, I have another unwelcome request. I wonder if you..." Cen Xue wanted to speak, but felt a little embarrassed.
"I know you want to ask about Chun Yuqian, the second prince of Eastern Europe, right?"
Cen Xue felt a little embarrassed when she said it.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with him. He just received a few whips and is under house arrest in Dongou Palace. Seeing that you care about him so much, could it be you?" Shan Yuwu boldly guessed.
"It's not what you think. The relationship between us is very innocent, and there is absolutely no deviation. The reason why I ask you is because I care about him as a brother and sister. The reason why I am in this situation is because of my desire for freedom.
It's the trouble I got into." He repeatedly explained to her that she didn't want to be misunderstood about this relationship.
Shan Yuwu nodded happily. She had already read her mind well, so how could she not understand her heart.
"Lin Meiren, I'm just joking with you. I know there is no relationship between you. If there was, you wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk to me for so long today." The corners of her mouth raised. This was Cen Xue.
It was the second time I saw her beautiful smile.
"High Priest, has anyone ever told you that the way you smile is really beautiful?" Cen Xue spoke frankly and said what was on her mind at once.
But her words brought back Shan Yuwu's memories, making her smile suddenly stiffen.
They were still teenagers at that time, and they took a boat together and played in the lotus pond in front of the lake.
"Tuo, look, how beautiful the lotus flowers are over there." The young girl pointed at a blooming lotus in front of her and shouted happily.
The boy looked in the direction the girl pointed, but said nothing and continued to paddle carefully.
The shy girl looked at the silent appearance of the young man behind her, and sat down disappointedly, quietly admiring the lotus flowers in the pond.
The midsummer sun bathed the entire lotus pond. The boy looked at the girl in front of the boat with her mouth rippling, and then looked at the lotus she just pointed at, and said disdainfully: "Yu Wu, your smile is nothing compared to that lotus."
Less than that."
As soon as she said these words, the girl turned around and looked back at the young man paddling at the stern of the boat, with a faint blush on her face...
