He is so similar to his elder brother who died five years ago...

The facial features seemed to be carved from the same mold.

The only difference was that her eldest brother's skin color would be lighter. In addition, she seemed to see her childhood eldest brother running over to her.

Lu Yao's eyes were a little sore.

Lu Yao didn't come back to her senses until she and Yueyue were settled in a courtyard called Yigui Pavilion.

Are there really people in this world who are not related by blood but look almost exactly the same?

Lu Yao had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Until the servant sent a painting.

A painting she didn't expect to see again.

In the painting, a charming and lovely woman is taking a nap against the wooden window. Although she is wearing a palace eunuch uniform, her posture is very comfortable and free. The osmanthus flowers are blooming outside the window, and petals are falling on her head, making her look even more... She is more delicate than flowers.

This is her, 15-year-old, and it was painted by her father himself.

I still remember that time when she woke up, her father teased her with this painting.

Several times after that, she tried to keep the painting as her own, but she never found it in her father's study.

Was it originally here?

What did the general mean when he sent the painting to her?

Lu Yao's heart felt like beating a drum. Does he know his identity?

At this time, Yang Xiao felt as if there was a rabbit in his heart.

The general who showed no emotion in the face of millions of enemy troops finally found his weakness again today.

If it hadn't happened five years ago...

He and she might have been married a long time ago, right?

Five years ago, she had just grown hair, and he was just a young general who had just become famous.

I remember that in the spring of that year, he returned to Beijing from the border with his father.

The young man who grew up on the border did not adapt to the prosperity of the capital, and he was even more incompatible with other officials' children.

When he has nothing to do, he likes to walk around the streets and alleys. Seeing the people living a healthy and prosperous life makes the bitter cold and bloodshed on the border worth it.

Until that day, when he was passing by Changqing Street where there were many wine shops, he saw a young boy fighting for a beggar.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant said that the beggar had stolen his chicken and was pushing him to have him sent to prison.

The young boy with red lips and white teeth stood up, pointed at the shopkeeper and cursed angrily. The shopkeeper was so angry that he called out five or six waiters at the same time.

The young boy saw something bad, so he took the beggar and ran away.

While escaping, the hat on his head was torn off, and his long hair flowed behind him, forming clouds and ink, which was extremely beautiful.

The people chasing behind him were also stunned and just let them run away.

When Yang Xiao followed, he saw the girl staring at the beggar in shock.

Because the beggar indeed pulled out a fragrant roast chicken from his rags.

She never thought that the thin and pitiful beggar actually stole something.

The shopkeeper, who was big and round and had a sinister face, was really innocent.

The beggar wanted to give her half of the chicken, but she didn't want it.

I wanted to scold him a few words, but seeing how thin and embarrassed he looked, I didn't open my mouth.

Finally, he turned back with a frown on his face.

The shopkeeper originally thought that he would suffer from this mute today, but he didn't expect that he would turn a corner and come back again.

She knew she was wrong and apologized, then paid the bill for the beggar, her attitude was extremely well-behaved, her watery eyes blinked, and she looked embarrassed.

When the shopkeeper saw that she was a little girl, he didn't want to embarrass her, so he waved it off.

Yang Xiao thought she was very interesting, like a little fairy who had just entered the world, rampant, yet straightforward and kind.

He couldn't help but follow her all afternoon.

Watch her running around in the alleys, fighting with children for a while, having fun with the old ladies on the street, and eating snacks while walking.

He is curious about everything he sees and eager to see everyone.

It wasn't until it was getting late that I was ready to go back home.

Yang Xiao still followed silently. Although he didn't know why yet, he wanted to know whose girl this was.

She walked closer and closer to the palace, and then got into an uninhabited courtyard not far away.

At that time, Yang Xiao didn't know that there was a secret passage in the courtyard leading directly to the imperial city.

He thought he had really encountered some kind of monster.

It's just that he wasn't afraid, and he thought that only spirits could be so flexible and so... beautiful.

In the days that followed, he still often went to the street to look for her.

Seeing that she is getting more and more familiar with the small streets and alleys, and often goes to other people's houses for food. Seeing her climbing trees to help children fly kites, she will also get angry and quarrel with children.

Every time he saw her, Yang Xiao seemed to be in a fantasy dream.

Until one day, the emperor summoned him to the palace.

It turned out that she had heard about him at the border and wanted him to take care of his princess who often sneaked out of the palace.

The emperor spoke of his daughter with fondness in his eyes.

He said that she was free by nature and did not like to be restrained. She wanted to go out of the palace to play every day, but she did not let the guards follow her.

For her safety, the emperor hoped that he could keep an eye on her secretly.

Only then did Yang Xiao discover that the spirit that entered his dreams day and night was actually the emperor's "sickly" princess.

No one knew how happy he was at this moment.

Later that whole summer, he followed the princess secretly.

It was not until his father wanted to take him back to the border that he entered the palace again.

This time, he came to ask for marriage.

After hearing what he said, the emperor almost turned over the table.

Later he said a lot, more than he had said in more than ten years combined.

The emperor's ears were calloused, but his face was a little more satisfied.

It was the satisfaction of a father who saw that his daughter was really valued and cared about.

Before leaving, the emperor gave him the painting, and he also gave the emperor his ancestral jade pendant.

This is an agreement between a father and a boy.

When he returns from his service, she will give him a chance to marry her.

But he didn't wait for this day.

Not long after returning to the border, great changes occurred in the capital, turning everything upside down overnight.

He rushed back day and night, and all he saw was her body that had changed beyond recognition.

He didn't believe it, he didn't believe she died like this.

He vomited a mouthful of blood on his horse, wiped it away but still insisted on entering the city.

He wants to avenge her.

That was the person he held close to his heart.

But his steps into the city were stopped by his father who followed him.

The father and son hold military power, and now they are a thorn in the flesh of the Li family.

After entering the city, death is a trivial matter, but the entire Ningbei army falling into the hands of rebellious officials and traitors is a major matter.

By then, even if they die ten thousand times, it will not be enough to atone for their sins.

With no choice, they could only send people to sneak into the city to search for the surviving royal family.

It's just that the Li family and his son were so bad at what they did that they didn't even have a palace eunuch alive.

In the end, things turned out to be bright and clear, and I picked up a pregnant lady from Shangshufu who ran away from home.

Miss Shangshufu is the prince's unmarried wife.

Wu Shangshu knew that she had the prince's child and forced her to have an abortion to keep the palace safe, but she escaped.

After Yang Xiao's father verified that what she said was true, he would take her back to the border overnight.

This is the last bloodline of the royal family and cannot be taken lightly.

Yang Xiao didn't want to just leave, so his father tied him up with a rope and tied him back.

This walk is five years.
