After writing the letter, Shu Nuan asked the guard outside the camp to find someone to help her deliver the letter, and then went back to the camp and went to sleep.
For some reason, she didn't sleep for too long. She had a confused dream. When she woke up, it was still dark outside, but she couldn't fall asleep. She put on a cotton-padded jacket and a cloak. When she went out, the guard asked her where she was going. After all, King Sheng had told her before leaving that she should watch Shu Nuan carefully.
Shu Nuan pointed to the mountain behind the military camp and said, "I'll go there and wait for the sunrise."
"Would you like me to bring a few people to accompany Miss Shu Nuan?"
Shu Nuan shook his head, "No, no, no, just go about your business."
The hilltop was very close to the military camp, so she just went to see the sunrise and then came back.
Shu Nuan reluctantly sat down on the rock on the hill. There was still light snow floating in the sky, and the wind was chilly. She wrapped her cloak tightly around her body and looked up into the distance. However, the sun hadn't arrived yet. When I came out, I heard a sharp hawk cry, coming closer from far away, and the sound suddenly crashed down.
Shu Nuan stood up from the rock. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ah Qi flying down. Shu Nuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised his head and looked over, and saw Xuan Jiu walking over.
"Didn't I ask you to leave the North Country?"
"Princess, I heard a piece of news..." Xuan Jiu looked at her steadily and said, "Two days ago, the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom executed the Queen."
Shu Nuan looked at him in shock: "Why..."
"The emperor said that the queen is a spy from the Southern Dynasty who has been lurking around him for many years. The emperor also issued an order that no one from other countries will be allowed to enter the court as an official in the future. No matter how well the princess studies at Yulin Academy, it will be of no use."
Shu Nuan fell silent and said after a while: "I know."
"Leave Beicheng now, princess, let's go..." Xuan Jiu stared at her closely and said solemnly, "These people, once they suspect you, they don't care who you are, they will convict you of death. That The Queen is a warning to others."
If...if Shu Nuan heard such news before coming to Yushui City, she would probably not have the confidence to choose to go with Xuan Jiu. Although Uncle Sheng said that she should believe him, she couldn't believe it again. Things, but the difference now is...
Sheng Qianmo asked her this question last night...
He asked her if she liked him...
Does this prove that he cares about himself and treats himself differently from others...
Shu Nuan pursed her lips, raised her head and looked at Xuan Jiu and said, "I have never done anything to feel sorry for him. He... won't treat me like this."
"Princess!" Xuan Jiu said angrily, "Do you have to wait until death is imminent before you wake up?"
Shu Nuan felt ashamed of Xuan Jiu's kind words, but she firmly believed that Uncle Sheng would always treat her well, so she was stubborn to the end. She whispered: "Don't worry about me..."
After all, Shu Nuan was just a sixteen-year-old girl. She had experienced war, the destruction of her country and her family, and many, many more. In the end, the only thing she could grasp was the warmth Sheng Qianmo gave her.
She also told herself that she would be good to him as long as he was good to her.
After Xuan Jiu heard Shu Nuan's words, he stared at her seriously, but he didn't know how to persuade her to get out of such an unrealistic dream.
The sound of horse hooves sounded from behind the hill, getting closer and closer.
