"Remember!" Jiang Nuanxin couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and her suspicious eyes fell on Dugu Rui. Why did she feel that Dugu Rui was so nagging? Why did she not remember him? He was her ex-fiancé, how could she?
Maybe you don’t remember?
"Really?" Dugu Rui seemed to have heard some heavenly sound, his eyes suddenly lit up like morning stars, "Do you remember me?"
"Aren't you Prince Duan?" Jiang Nuan was a little puzzled, secretly wondering if this guy really had something wrong with his head.
"I--"
Dugu Rui was anxious and was about to explain. At this moment, a eunuch appeared behind him and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Li has invited me!"
"Since the prince has something to do, I'll take my leave first! Bye!" Jiang Nuanxin took the opportunity to wave her hand quickly. Without waiting for Dugu Rui's reaction, she quickly jumped on the carriage and told Bai Zhi to run away. She was really annoyed with Dugu Rui.
She looked so sincere and sincere that it made hairs run down her back.
When Bai Zihan saw Jiang Nuanxin avoiding Dugu Rui like the god of plague, she couldn't help but shake her head, with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She was probably the only one in South Vietnam who dared to look down on the aloof King Duan like this.
"Prince Duan, farewell!" Bai Zihan clasped his fists and smiled, and then got on the horse. Dugu Rui was left with a sad face, his eyes following the direction of the carriage.
In the carriage, Jiang Nuanxin took a few sips of tea and couldn't help complaining, "There's something really wrong with this Dugu Rui. Why are he asking weird questions?"
The second maid, Forsythia and Bai Zhi, who had been silent since the first meeting with Dugu Rui, exchanged glances and suddenly looked at Jiang Nuanxin, "Miss, actually...that Prince Duan...is right!"
"Gah?" Jiang Nuanxin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Miss, don't you remember? When we were lost in Wanxiang Mountain, didn't we rescue a man who was poisoned?" Forsythia said.
"Are you talking about the man who was chased by the Jueqing Cult?" Jiang Nuanxin blinked, and some pictures immediately flashed through her mind. In fact, apart from face blindness, her memory was still very good, and she immediately associated the two things.
When they came together, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and said in surprise, "You're not saying that Dugu Rui is that person, are you?"
The second maid nodded fiercely, "Miss, you are absolutely right! Although the man's face was injured at the time, his demeanor and eyes were exactly the same as Prince Duan. By the way, Prince Duan still has Miss's silver needle!"
"What a coincidence!" Jiang Nuan felt a chill in her heart. When she passed by Wanxiang Mountain, she happened to encounter the stupid women from the Jueqing Sect who were trying to kill men under the guise of doing justice for heaven. She only intervened when she couldn't stand it.
He took care of it, and then smoothly rescued the man who was kidnapped by the demon girls to suppress the stronghold. Unexpectedly, that man turned out to be Dugu Rui!
"But how did Prince Duan recognize the young lady?" Bai Zhi looked at Jiang Nuanxin's face that was completely different from her original appearance, and couldn't help but have doubts in her eyes.
In fact, this is what puzzles Jiang Nuanxin the most. That day in the Jinluan Palace, Dugu Rui still looked at her with disgust and disdain, wishing to draw a clear line and never interact with her again. How could he change so much in just a few days?
How big?
Could it be that——he only recognized her recently?
With a frown, Jiang Nuanxin's eyes suddenly flashed across the scene of her fight with Dugu Rui that night. The black scarf on her face was indeed knocked off at that time. Maybe Dugu Rui recognized her at that time?
"Forget it! I'm too lazy to pay attention to him!" Jiang Nuanxin suddenly felt irritated. She waved her hand and told the second servant Forsythia and Baizhi, "Just pretend that that incident never happened. Don't mention it again in the future!"
"Yes! Miss!" Bai Zhi responded crisply.
Forsythia's eyes trembled, and she hesitated to speak, "Miss, I don't quite understand..."
Jiang Nuanxin raised her eyelashes, "What don't you understand?"
Forsythia pursed her lips and asked carefully, "Miss, you liked Prince Duan so much before, why..."
"People always change!" Jiang Nuanxin smiled faintly and did not explain much. When Bai Hua died, Forsythia and Bai Zhi were sent to other villages by Shen's excuses, so what happened next was not the same for them.
I don't know, they always thought that Jiang Nuan was deeply in love with Duan Wang, but they didn't know that everything was actually set up by Shen's mother and daughter.
**
In the Queen Mother's Palace.
"Your Majesty, what happened to you today? Why do you always help Jiang Nuanxin?" As soon as she came back from Baiyuan Garden, the Queen Mother backed away and started to question the emperor with a serious face. Today was her birthday, but the emperor helped Jiang Nuanxin at the banquet.
The girl bumped her head, which really made her angry.
"Mother, calm down!" The emperor lowered his head and said respectfully after hearing this. He seemed not to care about the aggressiveness of the Queen Mother's words at all, but no one noticed the flash of sternness in his lowered eyes.
"That's all!" Seeing the emperor's respectful expression, the Queen Mother's tone dissipated a little, but she still had questions, "Can the emperor tell the Aijia why he wanted to help Jiang warm his heart?"
"Nothing!" The emperor narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't want to answer this question.
The Queen Mother was dissatisfied, "Could it be that the Emperor has fallen in love with that girl?"
The emperor frowned, "Mother is worrying too much!"
The Queen Mother took a deep look at the emperor and saw that he didn't look like he was pretending. Then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not the best! After all, that girl has a marriage contract with Prince Duan. The emperor must not play with the royal reputation!"
"That's what the Queen Mother said!" The emperor's tone was respectful, but his eyes showed disdain.
The Queen Mother saw the Emperor's expression in her eyes and was just about to get angry when she suddenly felt a stinging pain in the center of her eyebrows. The Queen Mother groaned and couldn't help but raise her hand to pinch it. The Emperor immediately asked with concern, "My mother has a headache again?"
I ordered someone to teach the imperial doctor!"
"No -" the Queen Mother waved her hand, and was about to say no, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that the emperor had turned around and left. The Queen Mother was suddenly stunned.
When Nanny Su came in from the door, she saw the Queen Mother looking at the palace gate in confusion. She asked with some worry, "Your Majesty?"
The Queen Mother came back to her senses and couldn't help but ask, "Sulan, do you feel that the emperor's thoughts have become more and more difficult to guess in recent years?"
Aunt Su frowned, but before she could reply, the Queen Mother seemed to think of something, and saw a look of panic on her face. She immediately grabbed Aunt Su's hand, "Su Lan, could it be that he has discovered what happened back then?"
?”
Aunt Su was a little nervous when she heard this, "My Lady, don't think blindly. It's been so many years. How could the Emperor know?"
At the same time, in the imperial garden, the emperor was standing with his hands behind a canopy of vibrant winter jasmine flowers, and the figure of the girl from today seemed to appear before his eyes.
I'm afraid he is the only one who knows why he helped Jiang Nuanxin. Ha, they are both brave and arrogant, and they are also unwilling to suffer any losses. She is so similar to that person back then!
At this time, a secret guard appeared and whispered something to the emperor. The emperor's face suddenly changed, "She really said that?!"
"Yes!" the secret guard said respectfully.
The emperor frowned at the palace to the north, and a bloodthirsty light suddenly flashed across his eyes, "I have given you my word of mouth! The Yilan Palace will be heavily guarded. If there is any leakage, I want you to come to see me!"
