Chapter 15 Chapter 15: The Love Story of Chenghua Years (15)

Wan Zhen'er forced a smile, and said, "No matter what you look like, you are still thirty-five years old. Can there be any difference?" Li Xiang'er smiled thoughtfully, and she said, "Prince, he dotes on you very much!" Wan Zhen'er blushed slightly, and she said, "I raised him." Li Xiang'er said lightly: "I'm afraid it's more than that!" Wan Zhen'er stared at her blankly, not knowing how to answer. Li Xiang'er suddenly sighed, "Zhen'er, do you still remember my cousin?" Wan Zhen'er felt sore, "How could I not remember?"

Li Xiang'er turned her eyes and saw the jade ornament on her waist, she touched it with her hand, "Are you still wearing it?" Wan Zhen'er nodded, and Li Xiang'er suddenly said: "It's better to pick it up, don't let the crown prince see it." Wan Zhen'er looked at her strangely, "Why?" Li Xiang'er smiled wryly, "You really don't know?" Wan Zhen'er shook her head, "My cousin was killed by someone sent by the prince, don't you know?" Wan Zhen'er was startled, "What did you say?" Li Xiang'er stared into her eyes, "Five years ago, I met a man who was hunted down, he said he was the commander of Jin Yiwei, and the crown prince wanted to kill him because he killed a man named Du Yanyan for the crown prince. When I saw him, he was almost dead, and after I said these two words, two guards found him."

Li Xiang'er looked at Wan Zhen'er thoughtfully, "You should know why the crown prince killed him, right? People say that confidante is a disaster, it seems that they are right." Wan Zhen'er listened to Li Xiang'er's words silently. Although she had this premonition long ago, it was difficult for her to express how she felt when someone said it--Zhu Jianshen, she brought up that child by herself. Now he is the prince, but she watched him be born. The setting sun was burning like blood, Wan Zhen'er stood alone under the mulberry tree, her thoughts drifted away, and someone said to her: "Remember my name."

When I returned to the palace in the evening, I saw Wan Zhen'er standing alone under the mulberry tree. The breeze blew up her dress, she stared at the direction of the sunset thoughtfully, and the bloody sunset cast light and shadow on her fair skin, making her face look a little pink. When I saw the jade ornaments on her skirt, I couldn't help but feel like a knife piercing my heart. Excessive jealousy often made me unable to control myself. But I chose to ignore it deliberately, and I convinced myself that I didn't see the jade ornament. Then I walked to her side and looked at the direction of the sunset with her.

She stood silent the whole time, and I knew she must have sensed my presence, which was an anomaly.I asked her: "You have been standing for a long time, what are you thinking?" She was silent, and the evening wind picked up her hair and blew it on my face, so I also remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, a ripe mulberry fell from the swaying treetops. She reached out to pick it up, and the mulberry landed on her hand. Her beautiful hands are still as white as jade, and the years have not left any marks on them. She stared at Mulberry, then suddenly smiled at me, and said, "Prince, you have grown up."
