she won't live to twenty

"Loulan...?" Wuming frowned, pointing at himself with trembling fingers, "Then who am I...?"

"Little Highness, you are Little Highness." The maid was stunned, and then explained, "That's right, I heard from other Highnesses that you have lived with His Highness Prince in Qin for more than ten years, and have never been back to Loulan. It is normal not to know your identity. You are the biological son of His Royal Highness, that is, the little prince of Loulan. A month ago, several highnesses went to the desert to play, and happened to see you being captured by the barbarian tribe, and they rescued you It's too dangerous, you were shot by a barbarian with an arrow, but luckily the arrow didn't hurt your heart..."

The maid was talking endlessly.

Nameless frowned.

What and what?

She remembered very clearly that she was in the wasteland of Shudu as soon as she crossed, tens of thousands of miles away from Loulan, and she would never be a descendant of Prince Loulan.

When Wuming first met Yuwen Tianming, he also doubted his own life experience. After all, they do look alike.But the ages of the two are not the same, Yuwen Tianming is only 11 years older than her, he can never be her father, and in all these years, I have never seen any woman he likes, although he has read a lot of perverted books, but It really doesn't look like it's messing around.

Wuming even felt that his body had no parents at all, and that he just appeared in the wasteland of Shudu out of thin air.Anyway, things like wearing books have happened. It shouldn't be too difficult to pinch a body out of thin air for her, right?

Then why does this girl say that she is the little prince of Loulan?

Who is the Prince Loulan she is talking about?

Wuming's eyelids twitched, and he stretched out his hand to rub his forehead with difficulty. The figure of Second Master appeared in his mind again: "Prince Loulan...could it be Yuwen Tianming?"

After all, she really looks like Yuwen Tianming. If Yuwen Tianming is the Prince of Loulan, it is not surprising that she is recognized as his descendant.

The maid nodded and said, "Your Highness, as a junior, you are not allowed to call your father by his first name."

nameless:"……"

Fucking father.

Nameless coughed a few more times, and then asked, "How do you know that I am his descendant?"

"You look exactly like His Highness." The maid replied, "Your Highness is male and female, with a beautiful appearance. Even if he has been away from Loulan for decades, people in the royal family can still recognize your appearance at a glance. And your The Red Moon Double Knife is a sacred object of the Loulan Kingdom. There is only one pair in the whole country. There is no mistake. Also, when the apostle went to Qin last year, he saw you and His Highness the Prince. At that time, the Prince personally told him, You are His Highness's heir."

Dear, mouth?

nameless:"……"

"In short, your Highness, you can rest in peace and recover from your injuries. I will go and tell His Majesty the king that you have woken up." After the maid finished speaking, she quickly left the palace, leaving only Wuming in the room to digest what she said.

It turned out that last year the Loulan envoy resolutely rejected King Qin's marriage request because the second master went to the envoy and told the envoy that Wuming was his own son, and the envoy believed him.Not only the envoys, it seems that even other people in Loulan Kingdom think so.

But these days when I was in a coma... Is that maid taking care of me?Didn't she see that she was actually a woman?

Wuming lowered his head and looked at the bandage-wrapped heart in the wide robe. Under the bandage, it didn't protrude at all, and further down was the smooth and beautiful abdominal muscles.

... If the maid hadn't taken off her panties, she wouldn't have been able to tell.

Wuming checked briefly, and her outer shirt and trousers were replaced with loose robes, but the inner trousers were still the ones she wore when she was in Weibei.Being recognized as a man is such a nonsense thing, it actually happened to her.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside the palace, and two young men in Hu suits followed behind the maid, their crystal blue eyes sparkling: "Sister Ainu, brother Wang, is he really awake? Can we go in and see?" him?"

The maid shook her head and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty just woke up after giving orders. You must not disturb him. But if you are really curious, you can take a peek at the door."

The two young boys nodded vigorously, and looked in curiously outside the door frame.

Wuming was resting on the bed with her eyes squinted, and she had a headache from the noise outside. She didn't open her eyes until she smelled the aroma of hot porridge.The maid put the square plate with the medicine bowl and porridge bowl beside the bed, and said gently: "Your Highness, I will dress you up for something to eat?"

"I'll do it myself." After waking up for a while, Wuming's strength has recovered a little bit. Although his arms still tremble slightly, it's still not a problem to carry a bowl.

Loulan's meat porridge is different from Daqin's. Fresh minced meat makes up most of it, with only a little millet.The meat seems to have not been processed, and it has a fishy and salty umami taste.

After Wuming ate the meat porridge, his whole body was hot and sweaty, and his body was much more comfortable than before.She drank another bowl of black potion in one gulp, and handed the bowl to a maid named Ainu: "Can I go see your Majesty?"

"Yes, but after you recover from your injury. It just so happens that His Majesty is not in good condition these few days. If you have any questions, Your Highness, you can ask me directly. If I can't solve it, I will help you to ask His Majesty or other adults. Convey." Ainu replied.

Wuming asked directly: "Is the Weibei War over?"

"I don't know about this... about the state of Qin." Ainu shook his head.

Wuming changed the subject: "After my injury is healed, I want to go back to Daqin to have a look, is that okay?"

Ainu shook his head again: "His Majesty is getting worse and worse these days. The eldest prince is his only heir, and you are the only heir of the eldest prince. How can you leave Loulan at will?"

Wuming said bluntly: "Actually, I am not a man...nor Yuwen Tianming's flesh and blood."

Now Wuming doesn't know how Nanyue is doing. One month has passed, how is Nanyue doing in Weibei?The master and the second master should also be looking for her everywhere. No matter what, she must go back as soon as possible.

If the people in Loulan didn't let her leave because they misunderstood her identity, then she would just say so.

Ainu said without hesitation: "Since the eldest prince and the apostle said you are the little prince, then you are."

Wuming was startled, it seems that Ainu didn't fail to discover her true gender, but pretended not to know it.Wuming rubbed the center of his brows, and asked again: "Can I go outside the palace to see now?"

Ainu nodded: "Of course, the doctor also said that you have been in a coma for a long time, it is best to breathe more fresh air."

"Wait." Ainu turned and left, leaving only two blue-eyed teenagers squatting outside the door, looking at her with shining eyes.

Wuming waved to them: "Come in."

Two teenagers in their [-]th or [-]th years came in energetically: "Brother Wang, you finally woke up. When your father rescued you, you were covered in blood, which worried us to death."

"Who are you?" Wuming asked.

"I am Yuwenluo, and he is my younger brother Yuwenfeng..." the two young boys chirped.

When Ainu came back pushing the wheelchair, Wuming almost figured out the composition of Loulan's royal family from the mouths of the two brothers.

Although King Loulan has only one son, Yuwen Tianming, he also has a younger brother. These two brothers are the grandsons of that younger brother.They rank low in the line of succession, but still have the status of princes.

Wuming got into the wheelchair, and Ainu pushed her out of the room.

Behind the resplendent and glittering palace, there is a cliff nearly [-] feet high, and on the opposite side is a white snow field with no end in sight, connected to the cliff only by a few iron cables.Farther away, there seemed to be a bridge connected by iron cables for people and horses to pass.

The air in early winter was icy cold, and Wuming took a few breaths before being choked and coughing.The arrow scraped past her heart, damaging part of her lung.

"Your Highness, why don't we go back to the room to rest today?" Ainu whispered.

"Ahem... It's okay, let's continue shopping." Wuming coughed several times, and finally straightened his waist again, leaning weakly on the wheelchair, "Is there a desert on the other side of the cliff?"

"Yes, we Loulan people left the palace through iron chains and entered the desert. The other side of the palace is the capital of Loulan. Would you like to go and see it?" Ainu asked.

"Go."

Ainu turned to look at the two young boys who were following him: "Are you going?"

"Don't go! The front is not fun." The Yuwen brothers jumped onto the two iron chains, hovered on them easily, and then drew out the scimitar at their waists, and began to exchange ideas on top.

The movements of the two were extremely flexible, as if they were not affected by the Baizhang cliff at all, they jumped up and down on the iron rope full of vitality.

Although they are still young, their martial arts are surprisingly good.According to Jiang Huzhong, both of them are already close to first-rank masters.

Wuming watched quietly for a while before letting Ainu push him away.Pass through the splendid interior of the palace and soon reach the other side.The palace was built at the highest point of the royal capital, looking down from the top, it happened to be able to overlook the entire Loulan royal capital.The crowd is bustling, the surrounding buildings are full of exotic styles, the houses are neatly repaired, and the roofs are connected together to form a natural canal after another.In winter, the flowing water has long been frozen, shimmering, looking down from the palace, it looks like a strange dream world.

"Go back." Nameless said softly.

Ainu pushed her back into the palace. Along the way, they met many guards in the Loulan Palace. Wuming had noticed them before.Even Ainu, the maid who has been pushing her all the time, has at least three or more internal strength.

If everyone in Loulan is a master of martial arts, and there is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack cliff between Loulan and the wasteland, it is no wonder that the barbarians never harass Loulan, but seize on the soft persimmon of Daqin.

Before entering the room, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky.

Nameless looked up at the blue sky, without any emotion in his eyes.

"Your Highness, are you unhappy?" Ainu asked.

Wuming shook his head and reached out to catch a snowflake.

The cold snowflakes melted in her hands.

She just... felt a little lonely all of a sudden.

When time travels, I don’t feel lonely when I’m nameless, I don’t feel lonely during the four years I lived alone among wolves, and I never feel lonely during the ten years without the little moon.But at this time, after being injured, she was in a foreign country, watching the aborigines here noisy and happy, but her heart was occupied by loneliness.

She misses Nanyue.

……

Changjing, the imperial palace.

The first snow fell in Changjing in early winter, the roofs were covered by snow, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

Nanyue pushed open the window, staring at the fluttering snowflakes outside the window in a daze.

She had been in the palace for half a month, and although Tang Zhi occasionally let her go to the imperial study to read, he hardly spoke to her.

Once Tang Zhi asked her to show him a sword dance, but she said she didn't want to dance, and Tang Zhi didn't say anything else.

On the contrary, Wang Tianba took her out of the palace a few times as he promised, took her for a few times in Changjing City, went to Luoyan Pagoda to read a few times, and went back to Nan's house to meet her family members a few times.

Ignoring Wang Tianba's own terrifying strength, he seems to be really just an uncle who dotes on the juniors.And because of Yanbei's incident, the Nan family saw that Nanyue returned to Beijing safely, and they all felt that they had lost and recovered, and they didn't know how much better they were to her than before.

Not only did Tang Zhi not conceal his intention to marry her as a princess, but he made a big splash about it.

Everyone is wishing her that she will marry into the palace soon, that she will live a prosperous life, and that she may even be the mother of the world in the future.Not only the Nan family, but even the people on the street said so several times.

But Nan Yue only felt lonely.

It seems that everyone has forgotten the existence of Wuming.

If she had never met Wuming, Nanyue might feel that her current life is not bad.At least her family likes her, no one bullies her anymore, no one looks down on her anymore.

But because of the nameless, these have become insignificant.

She doesn't care what other people think and like about her, she only cares about being unknown.

Nanyue also asked Wang Tianba several times, but the answer she got was always that Wuming would come back to see her soon, but she didn't know how long "soon" was.

While Nanyue was staring at the snowflakes in a daze, several figures approached outside the window, and a court lady knocked on the door: "Miss Nan, Your Highness wants you to go to the imperial study to read."

Nanyue nodded faintly, put on the fox fur cloak, checked the dark crossbow without any trace, and walked out of the room with Xiao Huangsha in her arms.

In the imperial study room, Tang Zhi was receiving a minister, he yelled and cursed loudly, and his voice passed through the entire corridor.Nanyue heard the palace people whispering that since the Weibei War, military supplies were in short supply, and disasters continued in the north. Tang Zhi was so busy every day that his temper became more and more irritable.

Nanyue waited for the cursing voices in the study to stop, and the officials inside walked out in desperation before she walked in slowly.She bowed quietly to Tang Zhi, and just like the previous few times, she sat in a corner and read a book intently.Tang Zhi looked at her from time to time, his eyes were gloomy, but he didn't say a word.

Nan Yue pretended not to notice his gaze.

The winter solstice has been guarding behind Tang Zhi.

The three of them stayed quietly in the imperial study for a while, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the dead soldier Chun Lei pushed the door open and entered: "Your Highness! Urgent report from Weibei!"

Chun Lei looked eager, but when he noticed Nan Yue in the corner, he was startled and stopped talking.

"It's okay, let's continue." Tang Zhi's voice was full of impatience.

"The Princess Changning was pushed off the city wall by a soldier, so that she was shot by a barbarian's arrow. Now her life and whereabouts are unknown. But the Weibei Army speculates that she may have died in the desert." Chunlei said every time After saying one more word, Tang Zhi's face turned darker, Chunlei gritted his teeth, and said the last sentence, "The soldier who pushed Princess Changning off the city wall...is called Wan'an."

Everyone present except Nanyue knew that Wan'an was Qiufen's real name.

Tang Zhi stood up tremblingly, his face was black and blood was bitten on his lips: "Impossible..."

In the corner, Nanyue's face was still calm, but she almost tore the book in her hand.

After Chunlei finished what he had to say, he quickly bowed his head and exited the imperial study room, not daring to stay any longer.Dong Zhi also clenched the long knife and took a step back, trying to reduce his sense of existence.They knew how crazy Tang Zhi's character was, and they knew even more how crazy he would become when he heard the news that Chang Ning was dead, and that he was killed by the autumn equinox.

Only Nanyue didn't seem to notice.

She put down the book slowly, stood up and said stiffly: "Your Highness, I am tired today, so I will go back to my room to rest first."

Nanyue turned around and walked towards the door of the imperial study room step by step. She was about to step out when Tang Zhi's hoarse roar suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

Nanyue was startled.

Tang Zhi walked up quickly, his eyes bloodshot: "Changning is not dead, is she?"

Nanyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I'm not dead."

"This must be another trick she came up with to deceive me, right? She wanted to confuse my sight and sneak into the palace to rescue you, so she pretended to be dead again, right?" Tang Zhi roared.

Nanyue nodded lightly: "Your Highness is right."

Nanyue's voice was not bullying, her expression was very calm, but her clear eyes were covered with mist.

She is crying.

Tang Zhi originally wanted to grab Nanyue's shoulder, but his fingers slid down feebly, his expression so ferocious that it was almost broken.Nanyue took the opportunity to turn around and leave. Tang Zhi stared blankly at her back, and murmured: "You love her, right? Well, if she hasn't come back in the new year two months later...if Changning is really dead , how about you go with her?"

"You...you are just her accessory! If she dies, you should naturally accompany her, as it should be!"

Then there was a weird laugh.

Nanyue was stunned for a moment, without looking back, she quickly walked back to her room, and locked the doors and windows firmly.

Nanyue held the hairpin engraved with the word Wuming in her hand, her small body curled up on the bed and trembled constantly, tears soaked the sheets little by little.

Impossible... It is absolutely impossible for Wuming to have an accident... She is still waiting for Wuming, waiting for Wuming to come back to save her.

she……

A convulsive pain came from Nanyue's throat, and she almost lost her breath due to the pain.

Xiao Huangsha sat aside, carefully licking the back of her hand.

"Meow."

……

Wuming lived in the Loulan Palace for three days. Although his internal strength has not been fully recovered, he has resumed walking normally.During these three days, Ainu would accompany her to walk around inside and outside the palace from time to time, and the two young boys often came to talk to her, which was not very boring.

Just alone.

At night, Ainu suddenly appeared outside the room: "Your Highness, Your Majesty wants to see you."

Wuming was startled, then stood up: "Okay."

This was the first time King Loulan wanted to see her.

During these days of living in the Loulan Palace, Wuming learned that the King of Loulan was in poor health. He fell ill every three days and became seriously ill every five days. This autumn he was bedridden and fell into a coma for a long time.The king did not have the energy to deal with the affairs of state, and the prince did not return home for a long time, so only a few princes could manage the country.And there was no lack of intrigue in the royal family of the Loulan Kingdom. This time the court was in chaos, and many big families even fled the desert to seize the territory of the barbarians.The barbarians couldn't beat the Loulan people, so they went crazy to attack Qin.

Just like King Qin's serious illness, I don't know how many tribes in southern Xinjiang are ready to move, but no one dares to send troops to attack Daqin because of it.Instead, taking advantage of Qin's domestic turmoil, it continued to launch wars against small neighboring countries.

It doesn't matter where the weak eat the strong.

Loulan's national strength is almost the same as that of Daqin, but the military strength of the people of the country is very terrifying.In the Central Plains headed by Daqin, there are only four master-level masters. Wuming has seen at least seven or eight in the Loulan Palace in the past three days.

Wuming followed Ainu into the king's bedroom. King Loulan leaned against the bed weakly, his hair was gray and dry, and his cloudy eyes lit up the moment he saw Wuming.

"Tianming..." Loulan King stretched out a hand hoarsely.

When Yuwen Tianming left Loulan in a fit of anger, he was Wuming's size.

"You're mistaken, I'm not Yuwen Tianming." Wuming sat down and held the old man's skinny hand.

King Loulan's fingers are very thin, and his hands are full of dry wrinkles.His appearance is also closer to other Loulan people, with a high nose and deep eyes. Even though his body is thin and weak due to illness, his skeleton is always burly, which is not at all the same as the Second Master.

So the second master's appearance is so seductive, but it is actually inherited from his mother?Anonymous guessed.

When King Loulan heard Wuming's words, his dimly lit eyes dimmed, and then flashed brightly again: "Yes, yes, you are not him, you are his son."

Nameless: "...I am not."

King Loulan said seriously: "You are. You look exactly like him and his mother, and I recognized it right away."

His voice was hoarse, as if he had exhausted every word he said.

Wuming looked into the eyes of the old man, saw the kind light in his eyes, and finally did not refute anything.

King Loulan spoke very slowly.

This is a very old-fashioned story. King Loulan left the palace to travel around when he was young, rescued a beautiful slave girl and fell in love with her, and later gave birth to Yuwen Tianming.

The environment in Loulan is similar to that of a desert, with heavy snow in winter, scorching sun in summer, and wind and sand in spring and autumn.Therefore, in order to adapt to the environment, most Loulan people are born tall and majestic, with great strength.Only a few people will return to their ancestors, their bodies are slender and weak, like fairies, exactly the same as the paintings of their ancestors in the Loulan Palace.If this kind of person was born in the royal family, he would be designated as the next King of Loulan.However, if they were born outside the royal family, their situation was often very miserable. They were often sold as slaves because of their overly beautiful appearance, and sent to rich families to play with.Their bodies are weak, and it is difficult for them to survive in Loulan, where the environment is bad, if they do not depend on others.

Slave women are such people.

King Loulan rescued her from the slave market and fell in love with her, but in the end he didn't bring her back to the palace.At that time, she was already pregnant, so he gave her a large sum of money and asked her to take the baby in her belly and fly away.

The reason is simple. King Loulan already has a concubine. Although he does not love his concubine, Loulan does not have the custom of three wives and four concubines.He couldn't bring a slave woman back to the palace, that would be laughed at by other members of the royal family.

It was not until Princess Loulan died of illness six years later that King Loulan finally remembered the slave woman and her unborn child.He found her again and took them back to the palace.

Time has passed, and King Loulan no longer loves that woman, but he is still very kind to the mother and son.He named her the princess, and her son became the prince of Loulan. He gave the mother and son a stable and rich life, and gave them supreme power.

But one day, the woman jumped off the Baizhang cliff without warning and walked quietly.

On the second day, the little prince cried bitterly when he saw his mother's corpse. He resolutely left Loulan, crossed the boundless desert into Daqin, and never came back.
