"You came here today to take my life, right?" Nan Xueyan glanced at the eldest princess standing quietly in the distance, then cast her gaze on Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze shook his head and said nothing. He came to see Nan Xueyan, but it was still difficult for him to kill her.
It’s not that he and Nan Xueyan have no hatred. No matter what happened in the beginning, it is an indisputable fact that Lord Nan was brought down because of him.
Even if he didn't want to kill Nan Xueyan, Nan Xueyan had already planted the seeds of hatred in her heart, and sooner or later she would make him fall into the trap.
Because he is the root that was not removed when the grass was cut off, and now it has grown into a vast plain. How could he not know the truth that wildfire cannot burn it all and it will grow again with the spring breeze.
"Actually, before the Xu family got into trouble, you and I had some interactions." Nan Xueyan stood up and suddenly laughed out loud.
When she saw Xu Tianze's puzzled look, she knew that Xu Tianze had long forgotten what happened.
Maybe it was just a piece of cake for Xu Tianze, but it made her remember it for many, many years.
At that time, she was accompanied by many guards when she went out, but the guards were intercepted by a group of assassins who came to assassinate her, and she was still unaware of it.
Just when a assassin was about to attack her, it was the guard beside Xu Tianze who saved her. At that time, the person following Xu Tianze happened to be Long Musi.
When the guards in the mansion dealt with the assassins and came looking for her, she asked Xu Tianze's name and wanted her father to go to his house to express his gratitude.
Xu Tianze's face changed and he said that he saved her and she couldn't repay kindness with evil. Then he said that if he wanted to thank anyone, he should thank Long Muse, who was the third prince.
It was precisely because of the prince's identity that those assassins retreated later.
She didn't understand at the time and could only do what Xu Tianze said. Later she found out that Xu Tianze was afraid that she would rely on him.
It was also because of this that she often pestered Long Musi, and would say something every time Xu Tianze saw them. Fortunately, it was Long Musi who asked her to thank him for saving her life.
But Xu Tianze didn't know that the reason she stuck to Long Muse was simply because she could see Xu Tianze occasionally.
Later, because of her poor health, her father sent her to a farm to be carefully cared for. After losing contact, she was naturally forgotten. When she returned to the capital, something had already happened to the Xu family.
Naturally, she never saw Xu Tianze again. She thought that as long as she continued to follow Long Musi, she would see Xu Tianze sooner or later. That was why they met in the palace.
Unfortunately, after many twists and turns, the ending of the two was directly separated by the death of their father. She was angry, unwilling, and resentful, but she had no regrets. If she had to say regret, it might be that she didn't explain everything when they met.
In that way, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
"I know why you are here. The last thing my father left me is here." Nan Xueyan withdrew her gaze and no longer reminisced about the past.
Things have come to this point, and she now just wants to resolve the final matter and spend some time with her father.
"Conditions." Xu Tianze was still searching for Nan Xueyan's memory in his mind, but now that he saw Nan Xueyan directly tell him the clue, he gave up.
He thought about it for so long but still couldn't come up with an idea. He probably thought Nan Xueyan was just telling a lie, or she remembered the wrong person.
"I only ask one question, and you just need to answer me truthfully." Nan Xueyan knew that Xu Tianze didn't remember anything when she saw Xu Tianze frowning.
After all, she was just wishful thinking. To Xu Tianze, she might be a dispensable person. If she was dispensable, how could he remember her?
"Do you really love Long Musi?" Nan Xueyan stared at Xu Tianze, not missing a single expression.
When Xu Tianze heard Nan Xueyan's words, his brows were twisted into a "川" shape, but when he thought of Nan Xueyan's feelings for Long Musi, he understood everything.
After all, it was he who deliberately let Nan Xueyan hear it, which led to today's inquiry.
"I loved her before, but I no longer love her anymore." Xu Tianze let out a breath, his expression relaxed.
"I like Long Yang, and Long Muse also once occupied a place in my heart." Xu Tianze had a carefree smile on his face.
He did think about staying with Long Muse forever, but in the end, Long Muse's desire for power was greater than his.
The previous dissatisfaction and hidden hatred disappeared as soon as they were spoken out, and he felt a lot more relieved for a moment.
When Nan Xueyan heard Xu Tianze's answer, there was both relief and regret in her eyes, but as she smiled, tears fell from her eyes.
"That thing is under the brick behind the pillar in the southeast corner of the Buddha statue." Nan Xueyan wiped her tears and gave Xu Tianze the location.
"Today, we have settled all the grievances of the past. In the end, I have seen my own heart clearly, but I don't have the courage to face the facts." Nan Xueyan took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and poured it directly into her mouth.
Now that everything has been resolved, it's time for her to go find her father. Otherwise, she will be alone on the road to the underworld, and her father may not be able to bear it.
"What are you doing? I just wanted to spare your life." Xu Tianze was about to go to the pillar when he saw Nan Xueyan's actions and hurriedly scolded her.
Then he strode forward and grabbed Nan Xueyan's pulse, with a hint of surprise and solemnity in his eyes.
Then he withdrew his hand from feeling Nan Xueyan's pulse and looked at her: "I thought you would humph, find ways to retaliate against me, and then try to live as long as possible."
As he spoke, Xu Tianze's voice became a little low, and finally turned off.
"I'm not like you. I'm not that strong, and there's nothing I have to do. Brother Tianze, I'd rather die early in the hands of those assassins in my next life." Nan Xueyan smiled, and then she died.
When Xu Tianze heard Nan Xueyan's words, he fell silent for a rare time, and then gently put Nan Xueyan on the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the medium-sized Buddha statue. The Buddha looked down at everything with kindness.
"Let's find a good place with good feng shui to bury it." The eldest princess patted Xu Tianze on the shoulder, then left the room with Yinliu, who had just found the thing, and her maid.
Nan Xueyan is also a smart person. Perhaps Ze'er will never forget this girl for the rest of his life.
Dark clouds covered the sky, bringing endless rain to sweep the earth, covering up all traces of the past.
Xu Tianze opened the door and walked out, looking at the colorful world in the rain, forcing a smile: "Let's go, aunt, we should go back."
The eldest princess nodded, then signaled the guards beside her to go directly into the house, and then without looking back, she pulled Xu Tianze into the rain.
Before Xu Tianze stepped out of the courtyard, he took a last gloomy look at the Buddha statue in the room.
Only after the guards carried Nan Xueyan away did the courtyard fall completely silent. After a long while, a voice was heard.
"Your Highness, they have already left."
