Shangguan Wan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and made a thumping sound.
She looked around cautiously before carefully taking out the wooden box.
Even Jiang Yucheng didn't know that Shangguan Wan had already figured out some of the mechanisms in his study.
But she had never done anything like this before.
Because she knew that once Jiang Yucheng found out, he would be furious.
But this time, she was so curious!
Shangguan Wan looked at the wooden box in his hand carefully.
This wooden box is made of agarwood and exudes a light aroma. It has a smooth lacquer surface and exquisite texture, making it very exquisite and luxurious.
For some reason, the lock on it is not locked.
Shangguan Wan thought to himself that he might have put this thing away in a hurry that day, so he forgot to lock it up.
She held her breath and opened the wooden box.
There is indeed a picture scroll hidden inside!
For some reason, Shangguan Wan's nervous palms were a little sweaty.
She had a hunch in her heart that Jiang Yucheng's secret might really be hidden in this scroll.
Then, she took out the painting.
This thing seems to be old, both the scroll and the drawing paper look a bit old.
However, it is well preserved, which shows that its owner cherishes it.
Shangguanwan slowly unfolded the scroll without blinking.
When she saw the content clearly, Shangguan Wan suddenly opened her eyes wide!
On the screen, there is a woman wearing palace clothes.
She was standing by the lake and didn't know what she heard. Looking back, she smiled sweetly.
She has snow-skinned cherry lips, bright eyes and good gaze, and the attire around her makes her look very noble, but her charming smile and the cunning and smart look between her eyebrows make people feel excited.
If she was originally as bright as the bright moon, cold, noble and unattainable, then this smile instantly added a touch of fireworks, making people feel as if they could reach out to the sky and embrace the moon.
The country is beautiful and the city is beautiful, and the country is beautiful and fragrant.
That's probably it.
However, what shocked Shangguan Wan was not that Jiang Yucheng had collected such a portrait of a woman, but that the woman in the painting was Shangguan Yue!
It was Shangguan Yue who was once so high and seemingly unattainable forever, but in the end he chose to commit suicide and fell into the abyss of death!
With a "pop" sound, the painting fell from Shangguan Wan's hand.
But the woman in the painting still smiles so movingly.
It was as if the colors between heaven and earth were all concentrated on that one person, unparalleled.
In an instant, thunder fell from the sky! Shangguan Wan's mind went completely blank!
Her hands couldn't stop trembling, and her whole body felt like falling into an ice cave. From the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, it was freezing to the bone!
She staggered, bumped into a chair, and almost fell to the ground.
"No, it's impossible. It's absolutely impossible!"
Shangguan Wan murmured in a low voice, wondering who he was explaining to or trying to persuade.
That's Shangguan Yue.
That's Shangguan Yue!
She knew that Jiang Yucheng once liked Shangguan Yue, but that was all in the past, wasn't it?
He was the one who personally administered the poison, and he was the one who personally kidnapped her and sent her to the ancestral hall!
It was he who personally touched Shangguan Yue! Forced her to a dead end!
How could he do that if he still had the slightest respect and nostalgia for Shangguan Yue?
It was precisely because of those things that convinced Shangguan Wan that Jiang Yu Cheng had no feelings for Shangguan Yue at all.
But it wasn't until now that she suddenly realized that what she thought was actually wrong!
Shangguan Wan's face was as pale as a ghost, her eyes were lifeless, and her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly! It hurt so much that I almost suffocated!
She seemed to suddenly come to her senses, and hurriedly picked up the painting, bit her lip and looked at it carefully.
Shangguan Yue in this portrait looks a little young, as if she is only thirteen or fourteen years old.
For a moment, Shangguan Wan was shocked!
She remembered!
This palace attire is indeed the one Shangguan Yue wore when she was fourteen years old!
She was born as an imperial concubine, so the gift of her hairpin was naturally very grand.
Shangguan Wan still clearly remembers that many, many people came to the palace that day.
Everyone was laughing and praising Shangguan Yue.
Shangguan Yue, who just got haircut, is actually just a cardamom girl, but she has already attracted the admiration of countless people.
Some people are born to be the pride of heaven and attract the attention of all the people!
Shangguan Yue is such an existence!
Why did Jiang Yucheng have such a painting
Shangguan Wan turned his eyes slightly and saw the signature at the bottom of the screen.
That's a line of small print.
"It's the tenth day of the eighth month in the thirty-first year of Yuanzhen. I feel happy to see Yue and long for her."
This was done by Jiang Yucheng himself on that day!
It has been ten years now!
Shangguan Wan stared at that line of words, as if he wanted to burn a hole in it!
Her hands clutched the scroll so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
If she didn't have the last shred of reason left, she would definitely tear this painting to pieces!
turn out to be
turn out to be!
For so many years, Jiang Yucheng has always liked her, Shangguan Yue!
If it weren't for the deep thoughts in my heart, why would I have collected such a painting with such care and treasure? !
And she, Shangguan Wan, is nothing more than a joke at best!
"ha!"
In the past few years, he has given her advice and he has been completely obedient to her.
She always thought that she was different to Jiang Yucheng.
But now she finally knows that she is actually worthless here with Jiang Yucheng!
She threw the painting on the table, covered her face with her hands, cried and laughed, and seemed to be going crazy.
A moment ago, she was still thinking about taking the initiative to repair the relationship between them. Even if she took the initiative to bow her head, it didn't matter. She was willing.
As long as they can reconcile, as long as tomorrow's wedding can be held smoothly, as long as everything goes well in the future.
Something seemed to be surging crazily in Shangguanwan's chest, and then his face turned pale and he spit out a mouthful of blood!
Her breath quickly weakened and she fell into the chair.
When the guard outside heard the noise, he knocked on the door worriedly and asked in a low voice:
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Shangguan Wan's mind was confused.
She was stunned for a while, then stiffly put the painting away and put it back again. Then she got up and walked outside, asking word by word:
"Where the hell is he now?"
Xinli Garden, Qinfang.
When Chu Liuyue came here, she saw Jiang Yucheng standing by the lake.
Wearing a green shirt, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lake, seemingly in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hearing footsteps, he looked back.
When he saw it was Chu Liuyue, his eyes became much gentler.
Chu Liuyue's eyes moved slightly and she walked over.
"My lord, do you have anything to do with me?"
Jiang Yucheng looked at her, as if there was an undercurrent surging in his eyes.
After a moment, he suddenly said:
"I want to marry you."
