Chapter 157: Heavy as Life

(Cat flutters Chinese As he said this, he stared at Yunluo's face.

Sure enough, after Yunluo heard his words, his hand that was about to pick up the vegetables paused slightly, but it immediately recovered as before, and casually picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Today's sweet and sour fish is too sweet." ”

"No, why do I feel a little too sour when I eat it?" Xue Li smiled like a cunning fox.

Yunluo's heart was sour, he looked up at Xue Li, and then his eyes drooped slightly, and he silently put down his chopsticks.

Don't eat it?

The smile on Xue Li's face froze, knowing that she had overdone the joke, and hurriedly said: "Don't mind, I'm just joking with you, although Xuan was indeed called away by Yu Fei, but you should know better than me what he thinks about her, so don't worry about it at all." ”

"Why should I worry?" Yunluo denied, but the listless voice had already betrayed her thoughts.

Looking at her low-eyebrow and lower-eyed expression, Xue Li smiled speechlessly, "If you're not worried about him, then will you worry about me?"

"You?" Yunluo finally raised his head, his eyes blinking, full of doubt, "What's wrong with you?"

Xue Lijun's face pulled, and he said pitifully: "I have liked you for so long, but you have always turned a blind eye to me, my heart, liver, spleen and lungs are all hurt and painful, shouldn't you care about me and worry about me?"

Yunluo looked at him in a daze for a while, his eyes were slightly cold, "Shadow Hall Master, this joke is not funny at all. ”

"......" snow is silent.

Was he rejected?

Hehe, he knows.

A self-deprecating smile flashed at the corner of her mouth, Xue Li sighed, and said with a smile: "Luo'er, call you Luo'er, I just want to say a few words to you as a friend." ”

Yunluo looked at him quietly and motioned for him to continue.

Xue Li picked up the cup of tea he had poured for Yunluo earlier and shook the liquid inside, "Do you know why Xuan is so afraid of water?"

Yunluo shook her head, although she wanted to know, she never asked.

That's because when he was seven years old, he watched his second brother being pressed into the water, and watched him die, but he was powerless. ”

Yunluo's eyes widened, she had long suspected that something must have happened to Nan Yixuan when she was seven years old, but she didn't want it to be such a cruel thing.

With Xue Li's narration, she heard a very rare and ordinary thing in the royal family's succession, but this incident was an indelible nightmare for Nan Yi Xuanlai, so that he pretended to be crazy and stupid from then on, and never wanted to show his true face again.

Nanyue Kingdom originally had a second prince named Nan Yicheng, who was four years older than Nan Yixuan, and was born to the same mother as the third princess Nan Qianrou.

Their biological mother, Concubine Han Guifei, was second only to the queen in the harem, and she was also a holy favor for a long time, until the appearance of Concubine Rou.

But because of her gentleness and dignity, she never competed with others and was jealous, although the emperor was extremely fond of Concubine Rou at that time, he still cared for Concubine Han Guifei.

So in the harem, the relationship between Han Guifei and Concubine Rou is the best, when Concubine Rou was about to die in childbirth, if she hadn't risked being hated by the queen to beg the queen to save people, maybe it would be a corpse with two lives.

Concubine Rou is bedridden after giving birth, Concubine Han Guifei **** must go to Qingyao Palace, feed Concubine Rou medicine to wipe her body, do everything, and her sisters are nothing more than that.

For Nan Yixuan, she also takes good care of her, often takes Nan Yixuan from the Queen Mother to her palace, and lets her two children accompany him.

So before the age of seven, Nan Yixuan's childhood was still very happy.

Although both brothers and sisters are very good to him, but they are both boys, he prefers to follow the second emperor brother, and Nan Yicheng also likes this younger brother very much, and takes him with him in everything.

When Nan Yixuan was seven years old, Nan Yicheng was already eleven years old, although he was old, he had already been full of economic resources, all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and what was even more rare was that he had a calm personality, treated people warmly and kindly, and did not have the frame of a prince at all.

Nan Yixuan followed him, and naturally became as good as him, or even surpassed.

Therefore, in the eyes of Nan Mingchen at that time, these two sons were not a little better than the eldest prince Nan Yihan, and the undecided prince candidate was very likely to be between the two of them.

Although they have become hidden competitors, the children still get along happily, and Han Guifei also takes care of Concubine Rou as always, and she doesn't take the position of prince to heart at all.

In the summer of that year, Nan Yixuan pestered the second emperor brother who had learned to swim and asked him to teach him to swim.

At first, Nan Yicheng didn't agree, but in the end, he couldn't grind him, so he could only avoid the palace maids and eunuchs, and secretly took him to a lotus pond.

It is located in the middle of nowhere, and few people usually pass by, and the most important thing is that the water is not deep over there, even if Nan Yixuan goes down, it will reach his chest at most, which is relatively safe.

The lotus pond in summer is full of lotus leaves and lotus flowers, only one body of water is not there, the level is like a mirror, and occasionally a few fish swim by, which is very pleasant.

Nan Yicheng has been learning to swim for several years, and the water is very good, coupled with his cautious heart, serious teaching, and Nan Yixuan's intelligence, within a few days, he can already swim freely in the water.

After that, the brothers often avoided the palace people and met here to swim, which was more fun while cooling off.

Because the water was not deep, Nan Yicheng also let him swim happily in it, and only told him not to go to the lotus leaf pile, if he was entangled in the intertwined stems and roots underneath, it would be a very dangerous thing.

Nan Yixuan still remembered the advice of the imperial brother at first, but with the improvement of his swimming skills, he gradually became indifferent, it was the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

It was an unusually hot summer afternoon, and the air was uncomfortably hot and sweltering, and the air was uncomfortably stuffy.

Nan Yicheng took Nan Yixuan to this remote lotus pond again.

As soon as he entered the water, Nan Yixuan was like a fish in water, swimming freely like a happy fish, swimming and swimming, he quietly swam into the dense lotus leaves, and played hide and seek with Nan Yicheng.

Nan Yicheng was helpless, so he could only swim over to find him while telling him to make his heart count.

The change happened at that moment.

Nan Yixuan was originally hiding behind a big lotus leaf, waiting for Nan Yicheng to come to him with great interest, and he did watch the second emperor brother swim towards him.

But after a few swims, a black shadow suddenly swooped down from the shore and pressed the unsuspecting Nan Yicheng directly into the water.

Nan Yixuan, who was only seven years old at the time, was stupid and didn't dare to move behind the pile of lotus leaves.

And after Nan Yicheng reflected, he struggled hard, but unfortunately he was just an eleven-year-old child, but the other party was an adult man, who poked his head out several times and was ruthlessly pressed down.

Seeing that his imperial brother was about to be drowned, Nan Yixuan finally came back to his senses and wanted to swim out to save him, but at this time, Nan Yicheng, who poked his head out again, looked at him.

The red eyes carried a little warning, a little pleading, and a little nostalgia and reluctance.

He was warning Nan Yixuan not to go out, because as long as he went out, he would not be the only one who died.

Just when Nan Yixuan was stunned, Nan Yicheng was pressed into the water again, and after that, he never poked out again.

The lotus leaf in front of him was almost torn apart by Nan Yixuan, and he just watched the body of the imperial brother slowly surface, and there was no longer life.

After making sure that Nan Yicheng was dead, the murderer climbed ashore, carefully observed his surroundings, and then hurried away.

And that figure was so deeply engraved in the mind of seven-year-old Nan Yixuan, this person he knew, was a confidant eunuch of the queen.

The person who killed the second emperor brother is the queen!

Nan Yixuan's fists were clenched, fear and anger made his whole body tremble violently, and he just watched the corpse of the second emperor brother floating on the water, floating......

I don't know how long it took, he was crazy to swim to Nan Yicheng's side, he was going to save him, he was going to save him.

However, because he was too anxious, Nan Yixuan's feet were entangled in the lotus stems under the water, and he struggled hard, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was entangled.

Eventually, he was dragged into the water, and the water flooded him entirely, pouring through his mouth, nose, and ears, robbing him of his breath, his consciousness.

At that time, he was thinking that he would be able to meet the second emperor brother soon, and they could still study and play together, which was great.

At this moment, a pair of big hands dragged him out of the water, and when Nan Yixuan woke up, he found that he had returned to his own dormitory in Qingyao Palace, and he had an extra letter in hand.

Seven-year-old Nan Yixuan already knew a lot of words, he opened it and saw that he had been rescued, and the person who saved him was the pavilion master of the Phantom Pavilion, in the letter, he also told him to be patient from now on, and before he grew up, don't think about avenging Nan Yicheng, because only when he becomes strong enough can he declare war on the queen and her forces.

In this way, Nan Yixuan became a member of the Phantom Pavilion, and Xueli, who was also seven years old at the time, was also brought in by the Phantom Pavilion Master, and the two became good friends and brothers.

The death of the second prince Nan Yicheng was determined to be accidental drowning, no one knew that Nan Yixuan was also at the scene at the time, everyone only knew that after the death of the second prince, the fourth prince who had the best relationship with him had a serious illness, and he became a fool after a high fever.

Ten years of forbearance are fleeting, but the pain in Nan Yixuan's heart and the guilt for the second emperor brother have never diminished.

After listening to Xue Li's words, Yunluo found that he was already in tears.

I always felt that my childhood was miserable enough, but compared to Nan Yixuan's experience, my own ones were really nothing.

"This matter has been buried in Xuan's heart for ten years, and apart from me and his mother, only the mysterious old pavilion master knows. I'm telling you these things today, just hoping that you can understand that the **** will desperately enter the hot spring to save you, knowing that you are more important than your own life in his heart. ”
