"Sima Xing, long time no see." Lu Qingyan was the first to greet him, pulling him back to reality.
Sima Xing was somewhat incredulous: "How could the princess be here?"
The news of his resurrection was so shocking; he had no idea that he would meet this person again after being so far away. What is this so-called fate? It's something you can't escape or avoid.
He never believed in these mysterious things, but the facts always surprised him.
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow: "Can't I be here?"
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just surprised."
"What's so surprising?"
"I always thought you were dead."
"I was indeed badly injured, but I didn't die. You didn't bury me, so how could you think I was dead?"
"The King of Chu only said that you had indeed stopped breathing at that time, and then your body suddenly disappeared." Sima Xing said, "After Su Mo, the Lord of Pingcheng, took you away from the palace, he led his men to chase after you."
Lu Qingyan scoffed: "He only told you I was dead, but did he tell you that he was the one who wounded me with an arrow?"
Sima Xing looked at Lu Qingyan, but he wasn't as surprised as he had imagined.
"Did you already know?" Lu Qingyan asked.
Sima Xing remained silent for a long time before his voice was finally heard: "I only had a vague guess, but I didn't know he actually did it. Ah Yan, I'm so sorry for what happened to you this time."
Lu Qingyan shook her head and retorted, "What does this have to do with you?"
Who knows what's wrong with Sima Yi, that he's determined to kill me. Sima Xing, the groom, can't possibly stay by my side the whole day.
“She doesn’t like me, so she’s taking it out on you. Your suffering is related to me, and I should apologize to you.” Sima Xing reached out and poked at the fire. “I don’t know if he buried you, but the message he brought back was that you were dead.”
"So, in the eyes of the world, I'm just a dead man?"
"yes."
Lu Qingyan looked at the firelight in front of her and found it somewhat dazzling.
“Ayan, I really want to take you back to the Prince’s Mansion, but I can’t. Everyone knows you’re dead, and you probably can’t use this identity anymore,” Sima Xing said regretfully. He took out a bottle of medicine from his chest and swallowed it, and a thin layer of red appeared on his originally pale face.
Lu Qingyan listened quietly without rebuttal. She had thought it through herself; her current situation was indeed somewhat awkward. Even if everyone thought she was still alive, they would find a way to make her die. What kind of princess would be kidnapped on her wedding day? And would the kidnapped person ever be innocent?
Even if I have some connection with Su Mo, this thing that has already happened will still be gossiped about.
The world is always harsh on women. They won't say anything about Su Mo, but will only say that their own princess of Lu Kingdom is so shameless for seducing the Lord of Pingcheng. All the anger will be directed at her alone, and Su Mo may just be an innocent victim.
From the moment she was taken away, Lu Qingyan was destined never to be the queen of Jin.
Lu Qingyan sighed softly: "Sima Xing, I understand what you're saying. If I could stay here forever and not have to worry about those things anymore, I would be very happy."
Sima Xing nodded: "It's good that you understand. Even though we can't be husband and wife, I will definitely protect you."
