Chapter 2003 The Recognized Princess
Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue were still thinking about how to deal with Fan Wuyou when they saw Fan Wuyou quickly float into the painting.
"Is she trying to escape? Or is she trying to hide?" Zhou Shiyue didn't stop her, but his tone was somewhat sarcastic.
In front of Lu Xiaoer, how could a ghost possibly hide?
Qingbao also asked, "Your Highness, is she trying to hide back in the painting and continue pretending she's not here?"
Because Fan Wuyou floated into the painting.
Before Lu Zhaoling could answer, the screen flashed white light again, and Fan Wuyou reappeared.
"I didn't intend to run away."
As she spoke, she walked over.
This time, she was carrying a violin.
Lu Zhaoling and the others recognized it; it was the same zither in the painting, the same one Zhou Shiyue had found earlier.
None of them expected that the zither could actually be taken out of the painting.
Zhou Shiyue's gaze fell on the zither.
Once the instrument was taken out and became a physical object, the wood on its body had a warm and rustic sheen.
That luster, like the silent passage of history, makes you want to gently touch it.
I wonder whose fingers once played this instrument, what kind of sounds it produced, and how many people it touched.
"Do you recognize this zither?" Fan Wuyou held the zither out to Zhou Shiyue with both hands, looking at him with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.
Now, the other young men also realized it.
Fan Wuyou came here specifically for the prince.
Now she asks the prince if he recognizes this zither.
Should the prince recognize him?
Lu Zhaoling also shifted her gaze from the zither to Zhou Shiyue's face.
In that instant, she understood. She had always felt that there was something Zhou Shiyue hadn't made clear to her, such as what he was looking at while staring at the painting. He hadn't actually explained that.
He mentioned earlier that he was looking at that zither because he had seen a picture of it in an ancient book, which is true, but it certainly wasn't just because of that.
He could also recall the changes in Fan Wuyou's expression earlier, indicating that he had not only looked at the zither but also observed Fan Wuyou's appearance.
When Fan Wuyou asked Zhou Shiyue this question, Lu Zhaoling immediately understood.
Perhaps the kings of the Jin Dynasty, who were not of the same surname, recognized this zither, or had seen it before.
He even got to know Fan Wuyou.
Qian Dingxing was his former strategist, and Fan Wuyou previously felt a sense of familiarity with Qian Dingxing, meaning she might know him.
These three people are probably all familiar to you.
But why didn't Zhou Shiyue explain it to her clearly?
Is it because you haven't thought it through yet and don't know how to say it?
Lu Zhaoling felt the arm around her waist move away.
Then she saw Zhou Shiyue reach out and take the zither.
Fan Wuyou's expression suddenly became excited, and she even trembled all over.
She hadn't been this excited before, but now she suddenly couldn't control her emotions.
"Do you recognize me? Is it you? You're not dead yet? Or have you been reincarnated?"
Fan Wuyou excitedly shouted these words.
Lu Zhaoling frowned slightly.
Just as she was about to speak, Zhou Shiyue handed the zither to her.
"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment. What was she supposed to do with it?
“Take it,” Zhou Shiyue said.
Lu Zhaoling instinctively hugged the zither.
Fan Wuyou was also stunned for a moment, and then she exclaimed, "Why did you give the zither to her?"
“This zither,” Zhou Shiyue said in a deep voice, and Fan Wuyou immediately shut up, looking at him expectantly, “was never yours to begin with.”
Fan Wuyou's eyes lit up, as if he had confirmed his identity at that moment.
She immediately said, "This zither is indeed not mine! It belongs to the Empress! I knew you remembered!"
Lu Zhaoling looked at the zither.
Your Majesty the Empress?
Which empress?
She certainly didn't think of her as the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the current Empress Dowager. No.
It's not hers.
"I can't remember much."
Zhou Shiyue said clearly at this moment, "I don't remember you either, but I know this zither is not yours."
"How can you not remember me? You remember this zither, but not me? I am Wuyou! I am Wuyou! Your Majesty!"
Fan Wuyou cried out.
The moment she called out that name, Lu Zhaoling's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, actually calmed down.
Anyway, she was already mentally prepared, and now it just proves that her guess was right and nothing else more shocking happened, which is good.
She had already pretty much confirmed Zhou Shiyue's identity from her previous life; it was just being confirmed time and time again.
All the young people stared at Zhou Shiyue in shock.
They don't know much.
However, perhaps because they had been with Lu Zhaoling for so long and had seen so many mysterious things, their ability to accept things had obviously improved. They were only shocked for a moment before calming down.
What's there to be afraid of?
Regardless of the prince's status, he is their master.
No matter what happened in the past, the princess always kept things in check.
Ultimately, nothing will change for them.
So they remained very calm.
Several young men automatically went to the door and stood guard.
It's good to stay here; we can hear what's going on inside and keep watch to prevent anyone else from getting close.
Only the two people, the ghost, and the zither remained in the hall.
After Fan Wuyou uttered the word "King," the hall fell silent for a moment.
Fan Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Zhaoling.
"You..." she began hesitantly, "Your mastery of mystical arts is so high, do you know something? Do you know his true identity?"
Lu Zhaoling raised an eyebrow.
"His identity? He's my husband."
She paused for a moment, then looked at Fan Wuyou again.
"However, I don't know your identity. Is Fan Wuyou your real name?"
"Of course!" Fan Wuyou raised her chin and said proudly, "This young lady will never change her surname or name. Fan is the imperial surname of the Great Jin Dynasty."
"Are you a member of the Great Jin royal family?" Lu Zhaoling originally wanted to ask her if she had remembered everything, but now that she heard her say this, there was no need to ask anymore; it seemed she had remembered.
Then she should just ask about the Great Jin Dynasty.
“I…” Fan Wuyou glanced at Zhou Shiyue and saw that he was cold and silent, so he seemed unafraid of her speaking. So she said directly, “I am just the emperor’s adopted sister. My surname was also bestowed by the emperor.”
“But the Great Jin Dynasty recognizes me as their princess!” Fan Wuyou raised her chin again.
It's clear that she's quite proud of her identity.
That explains it. No wonder she's always been so arrogant, though not like she's always been.
"Do you know Qian Dingxing?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.
Fan Wuyou's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Shiyue with some unease.
“Your Majesty, I heard those rumors later, but I don’t believe the strategist would frame you! It couldn’t have been him; there must be some misunderstanding.”
