Hearing this, Luo Changan weakly stood up and looked around. She saw that she was in a simple and elegant house. The furniture was mainly made of wood. It looked clean and quiet. She found copper on the wooden table.
Mirror, she looked into the bronze mirror and saw her face.
I couldn't help but gasp.
Most of the right cheek was burned, and there was an ugly burn scar the size of a baby's hand. There was a layer of black ointment on it. Because she sat up, the ointment was not thick enough and it was still dripping down. Some of it hit her.
On clean underwear.
"ah."
Luo Changan was shocked by his ugly appearance, and his original beautiful face could no longer be seen in the mirror.
She averted her eyes and touched the wound on her cheek with her trembling hands. Even the slightest touch still hurt her terribly.
"Don't touch it." The man held her wrist through his sleeve, then came closer and gently blew cool air on the injured area on her face. "The ointment will solidify a little, and the wound will be less painful. There is
Medicinal ingredients for analgesia.”
There was an inexplicable mist in Luo Changan's eyes. She recalled that just now he pouted his lips on the side of her face, and she thought he was doing something wrong. Now, seeing that he was helping the medicine evaporate, she asked, "Just now, you were helping me apply the medicine."
?Did you save me? Who are you?"
"The gift of thanks you gave to your savior was cruel enough. I will remember this slap for the rest of my life." The man half-smiled.
"Sorry." Luo Changan tapped his chin gently.
The man was about to speak when he saw a maid-looking woman entering the house. Seeing that Luo Changan was awake, he quickly said: "Miss, you are awake. When our governor fished you out of the river more than five months ago,
, your stomach has grown big after drinking river water, your pupils have become dilated, and you can no longer see anyone. If adults hadn't squeezed the water out of your lungs in time, you would have died a long time ago. You have been sick for the past five months.
It's very serious. I wake up and wake up and don't recognize anyone. I keep calling Aunt Mei's name. I'm finally feeling better today."
Governor? There are several governors in the court who are responsible for helping the refugees. She is also familiar with all the third-level officials at the border gates of the town.
But Luo Changan had never seen the person in front of him in the northern court. This person looked to be around 28 or 9 years old, still young. Perhaps he was a local official in the original Shu Kingdom in the south? And she had been sick for five months.
No wonder I feel strange pain all over my body. It turns out that I have been in bed for a long time, and my bones are almost falling apart.
"My name is Shen Qingchuan." Governor Shen introduced himself, "I will take office at the end of this month. The term of the previous governor is about to expire. He resigned from Hualing, and I went to Beijing to meet Jin Shang to perform my duties."
Luo Changan nodded, "My name is Luo Changan. Thank you for saving me."
"Yeah." Shen Qingchuan frowned slightly, but didn't show anything. He knew where she jumped off Shijiang's fleet, and he knew that what he was saving was
What kind of woman is she? She is not an enthusiastic person and does not save useless people.
Luo Changan lowered her head and looked around for the cotton scarf that Aunt Mei had knitted for herself, as well as the jade pendant that Aunt Mei had snatched from the shadow guard's waist before she died, but she couldn't find them either. She said anxiously: "I
Where’s the stuff?”
Shen Qingchuan walked to the bamboo table, took the cotton scarf and jade pendant and handed them to Luo Changan, "Are these?"
"Yeah." Luo Changan held the thing in his hand, and his emotions broke down in an instant. He buried his little face in the scarf and cried loudly. The sound of sharp weapons piercing the flesh when Aunt Mei was assassinated still echoed in her ears. She
He whispered: "Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei, I...miss you Aunt Mei."
She asked herself why she had been treating people kindly, even repaying kindness with kindness, and not making enemies everywhere, so she ended up disfigured and homeless, almost separated from her husband and children, and even lost her beloved Aunt Mei.
Good people can be deceived. No, maybe it's because he is looking for love in an inappropriate place like the palace, which brings disaster to himself.
She must make the person behind the conspiracy pay the price with blood! She must personally send the sharp blade into the heart of the criminal! Revenge for Laomei and revenge for herself!
Shen Qingchuan saw Luo Changan crying sadly. Her tearful eyes seemed to capture people's hearts, so he smiled and said, "What's the use of crying? I'm already ugly, but crying makes me even uglier. Why don't you take good care of yourself and give it to me?"
The person you are unhappy with is unhappy!"
"You are right. If I cry, I will make the person who harmed me proud!" Luo Changan gradually stopped crying, and his longing for the emperor became more and more intense in his heart. The unfinished chess game and his departure
When we were painting the boat, he said, "I miss you before I leave, so I won't leave at all." He couldn't leave her so much, so he must be thinking about her. "To be honest, I am your wife today, and I am Dadong Ming's wife."
As queen, Mr. Lawen helped me deliver the news to you when I took office. If you can help me reunite with my family, I would be very grateful and I will definitely thank you again."
"This favor... I can't help you. You are a big trouble. Saving you from Shijiang is already a big trouble. I keep you in the house for half a year before reporting to the court. Do I still want Wu Sha Mao?" Shen Qingchuan shrugged.
, "Take good care of yourself and walk on your own."
Luo Changan listened to his words and realized that he was a very clear-headed person. However, she didn't understand why he had taken care of her for half a year without reporting it to the court. The hatred in his eyes that she caught when she first woke up still made her
Shocked, who is this deep hatred directed at?
She looked at her ruined face in the bronze mirror, wondering what she would be like after meeting the emperor again.
The emperor is used to seeing beauties, will he... dislike her?
No. The emperor and she can sacrifice their lives for each other and not judge each other based on appearance. The emperor will not dislike her. Right.
She felt terrified just looking at herself. She was no longer sure.
But she missed the emperor so much, she wanted to throw herself into his arms and tell him that the fire was not an accident, but someone was in the way. She told him that Aunt Mei was dead. She was so sad. She also told him that she had been living outside for six months and almost died of illness.
So anxious.

Chang'an City.
The architecture of the Imperial City and Palace was modeled after that of Beidi, and the layout of the palaces was also the same.
After the fire at Huafang, the word Luo Changan became taboo in the palace.
It's as if the emperor doesn't remember this person.
Haiyin very carefully hung the wall facing Luo Changan's portrait hanging in the Dragon Sleeping Room backwards.
The emperor no longer watered the rich bamboo raised by his mother on the window lattice, Hai Yin was watering it carefully.
In the past six months, the Queen Mother and the Ministry of Etiquette have held several large-scale talent shows. Although the emperor did not attend, he did not interfere. Perhaps because of the exhaustion of emotions in these years, the affairs of the front palace and the court have become a drag, and he no longer wants to pay attention to the affairs of the harem.
Well, maybe there’s no one worth paying attention to, it doesn’t matter.
However, the people selected by the Queen Mother and the Ministry of Rites are all chosen according to their own preferences. Knowing that the emperor loves sick and beautiful women, most of the people they choose are weak and unreliable.
Favor, or the sadness when frowning makes me take another look. I will walk around, or look at the eyebrows, or look at the tips of the ears, or say some unpleasant words to see the wronged look of the woman's frown.
Among these people, Song Ning, the daughter of Prime Minister Song, was the most favored by the emperor. It was the Queen Mother's fifty-fourth birthday. Song Ning wore a long water-sleeved costume and sang a piece of the Queen Mother's favorite Yue Opera "Golden Branch".
The emperor was bored at the birthday party, holding his chin while passing the time after the political affairs. In short, he had nowhere to go, and his heart felt like wandering.
He met the newly promoted Song Ning at this opportunity and dropped the cup in his hand. The exquisite bronze wine cup fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Not only was this woman's eyebrows and ears pointed, her frown caught his gaze, but her gestures also made him unable to let go. He couldn't help but walk down the golden steps.
