Chapter 7 Sun Wei
It's so early in the morning and there's not a single ray of light in the sky. Why is she here?
When Mrs. Lu saw him, she was not surprised at all. She walked up to him and bowed.
"Is the prince going out at this early hour?"
Sima Jun did not answer, but asked: "Where are you going so early in the morning?"
"When I saw the Queen Mother yesterday, she told me to get up at dawn every day to copy scriptures. It's almost dawn. If I don't go now, it will be too late." After saying this, Lu looked at him, "Where is your Highness going now?"
Sima Jun did not answer, just nodded slightly and walked straight out.
Deng Lian followed behind him and asked curiously, "Prince, she is the princess, why do you call her Madam?"
"Who said she was a princess?" Sima Jun said without even turning his head.
Deng Lian was stunned: "But the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince in the palace are..."
"If they say yes, then it must be her?" Sima Jun said lightly. After that, he walked to the front of the horse and climbed on it.
The fire in the Eastern Palace was extremely fierce. Although it had been put out when Sima Jun arrived, it was obvious that the entire palace had been destroyed.
"Where is the prince?" he asked the eunuch.
The eunuch pointed in a direction and said, "My lord, please quickly persuade the Crown Prince to leave the palace for shelter. A thunderbolt just struck right where you are standing! Two people were hit and died instantly!"
Deng Lian was startled and hurriedly pulled Sima Jun away.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Prince, if that's the case, it's fortunate that I just met the princess and had a conversation with you. Otherwise, it would have been really dangerous if I had come a few steps earlier."
It’s the Lu family again.
Sima Jun frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he walked around the corridor of the palace and found the prince in another hall.
Unexpectedly, the prince did not look frightened, but rather quite excited.
Seeing Sima Jun coming, the prince was delighted: "You've come just in time. I was looking for you."
He then led Sima Jun into the inner hall and said, "No wonder your father was determined to travel all the way to Cangwu to marry Lady Lu. She is truly a divine being! With her help, there's no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things."
——
Lu has been staying in the Buddhist temple since the hour of Mao.
At noon, Cao Song brought a woman over.
"The princess said she wanted to find a fellow villager from the Nanling area to serve as a maid. There's no one with such a background in the palace. I went to the human market to look for one, and only this girl is acceptable. Princess, please take a look and see if she suits you. If not, I'll look for her again tomorrow."
Lu put down his pen and looked up at the woman in front of him.
She was petite and had dark skin, but she was neatly dressed and had her hair combed meticulously, and it was obvious that she was quite particular about appearances.
"What's your name? How old are you?" asked Mrs. Lu.
The woman replied, "My name is A'ru, and I am seventeen years old."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said to Cao Song, "This accent makes me miss her so much. Let's keep her. It's a great honor for the attendant."
Cao Song left A'ru behind and retreated.
Mrs. Lu once again looked at A'ru in front of her and said, "You are here after all."
A'ru's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked away: "You said you would avenge me, does that still count?"
"It counts, but I also told you that you have to give me at least three years."
A'ru sat down across the table and said, "Let alone three years, I'll wait even for a lifetime, as long as I can avenge my father."
Aju's surname was Ning, and her father was Ning Xiu, the governor of Guangzhou. In the ninth year of Jianyang, Ning Xiu was framed and beheaded, and Aju was reduced to a government servant. Lady Lu bought her for a thousand coins. At that time, Lady Lu offered her a choice: she could forget her hatred and make the world her home, or she could remain attached to him, only to return to her slavery.
After some consideration, Aju made her own choice.
She looked down at the pile of Buddhist scriptures on the table and asked, "How can you know so much without ever leaving your house? You said you wanted me to go to the human market today, and I went, and sure enough, I met the steward of the Yuzhang Prince's Palace."
"I told you I can open my third eye. Don't you believe me now?"
"I believe it, I believe it." A'ru said repeatedly, eyes wide open. "Amitabha, so there really is such a magic that can reach heaven and earth?"
Mrs. Lu smiled and looked out the door with a distant gaze.
There is no such thing as a method that can reach the sky and the earth in this world.
To her, the name Lu Xian is only temporary.
One day, she will leave, still called Sun Wei.
