Chapter 179: Jealousy
The cold and dry wind, mixed with the smell of dust, surged in, blowing on the face as unpleasantly as a knife. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hua Lianyue held his shoulders, he leaned in front of her, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and his originally fair face faintly revealed a strange blue-black, obviously poisoned.
She looked at him stunned, her eyes full of tears, and the pain in her eyes grew like weeds. He pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, and the blood on his jaw was shocking, but his eyes were extremely soft.
Feeling a warm liquid dripping on his face, he sighed lightly, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his cold fingers, and said, "Yue'er, can you forgive Brother Lian?"
Hua Liyue touched the real plea in his eyes, the grievances that had been left out in the cold, the sadness after being betrayed, and the desolation after being used, all seemed to have been alleviated a lot.
In the past three years, his life has not been easy, so that he is young, and fine lines appear between his eyebrows. She reached out to smooth the fine lines on his brow, then lowered her head and landed a gentle kiss on his forehead, like a feather brushing lightly, but it was enough to stir waves in his heart.
"Have you forgiven me?" Liu Hui gasped more and more, and mouthfuls of piercing blood continued to overflow from the corners of his already purple lips. He still asked eagerly, as if her forgiveness was more important than anything else.
Hua Lianyue opened her mouth, but found that her throat had been blocked and she couldn't make a sound at all, so she could only nod desperately. As she moved, more and more tears poured down his face.
"Hahaha...... Are you finally going to die? It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead! You wolf-hearted things should have died a long time ago!" the masked female prisoner, who had been restrained by Feng Si and the soldiers who had arrived, was still cursing madly and viciously. Her eyes were wild and vicious, and her voice was as rough and unpleasant as that of an old owl.
"Shut up!" Feng Si in anger slapped her several times, and the veil on her face fluttered off, revealing the face full of twisted scars underneath. The purple-red scar made her face ugly and distorted, and she couldn't see what it had been.
This weird and ugly face like a ghost suddenly appeared, which made Hua Lianyue and Feng Si all startled.
"My scarf, my scarf......" The masked woman seemed to be greatly frightened, she broke free from the soldier's control, knelt on the ground, covered her face with one hand, and groped around the ground with the other. It wasn't until she touched the mud-stained veil that she immediately hurriedly put on the veil again. It wasn't until she covered the horrible scars on her face that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Say, who ordered you to assassinate our prince? hand over the antidote at once, or I will kill your dog at once." After the initial astonishment, Feng Si commanded the soldiers to tightly twist her arms again, stomp her face on the ground, and interrogated viciously.
Beads of sweat appeared on the masked woman's painful forehead, but she still rolled her eyes and stared at Hua Lianyue and Liu Hui with resentment, gritting her teeth and saying: "I don't know any princes, I only know that one of them is the county magistrate, and the other is a fast catcher." They are the culprits of harming my family, harming my people not like people, and ghosts not like ghosts. Unfortunately, I can only kill one of you, but no matter which of you dies, the rest of you will die as well........ This is the only way to reduce the hatred in my heart a little, hahaha!"
"Slut, dare to harm our prince's life!" Feng Si was furious, pulled out the saber at his waist, and the cold light flashed, and the right hand of the female prisoner who used to hold the sword had detached from her body. She hugged the bloodied broken wrist, and cold sweat continued to flow from her forehead. But she still stubbornly let out a strange laugh, but this barely squeezed out laughter seeped like a night owl's cry.
"Hand over the antidote, or I'll cut off all the fingers of your other hand! Let you taste the pain of ten fingers and see if you can still laugh." Feng Si said viciously.
Hua Lianyue looked at her in amazement, almost crazy, and was able to tell their former identities and prove that she was their old friend when they were in Meiling County. But the female prisoner's face was so completely ruined, and her throat seemed to have been burned, and she couldn't recognize it at all.
Hua Lianyue shouted and asked, "Who are you?"
You don't remember me, but I remember you every day. I can't wait to dig out your heart and liver to see if it's dark......" The female prisoner's whole body trembled unconsciously, her hair was scattered in front of her eyes, and her frantic eyes could only be seen through the gap between the hair.
Hua Lianyue frowned, and wanted to ask again.
"Don't ask anymore, I guess who she is. Liu Hui spoke first with difficulty, he held Hua Lianyue's hand tightly, and gasped for a long time before saying: "She, she is Li Ruolan who was sent over with the family members of Hu Yan and the two mansions......."
"Sister Ruolan?" Hua Lianyue exclaimed, staring at the crazy ugly and angry woman in front of her in disbelief, she really couldn't overlap her with the beautiful and charming Li Ruolan in the past. She really couldn't imagine why Li Ruolan had murderous intent towards herself.
Li Ruolan's night-like strange smile finally paused, and then she smacked it fiercely, and said in a sinister manner: "An adult is worthy of being an adult, and he still knows what to do, you can recognize me when I become such a ghost." ”
Liu Hui smiled hard and said, "It's just that my eyes are better than hers, even if your face is ruined, but there is still half of the cinnabar mole left in the center of your eyebrows." ”
"Sister Ruolan, what kind of poison are you using, please give me the antidote, save him!" Hua Lianyue rushed over and pushed away the soldiers who were holding Li Ruolan, she grabbed Li Ruolan's sleeve and kept mourning and pleading.
"You die! There is no antidote, Huo Lianjue is dead!" Li Ruolan sneered, and said extremely happily: "I bought this poison from a witch doctor to prepare for suicide, I want to die, how can I leave the antidote." But if I have the opportunity to use it on you, I will have no regrets even if I die. ”
"Sister Ruolan!" Hua Lianyue grabbed her tightly and said in disbelief: "Why do you hate us so much, do you want to avenge Hu Yan and the two mansions?"
"No, the Hu Yan family is to blame, so I won't avenge them. Silent tears gradually wet Li Ruolan's face towel, she still raised her head and said stubbornly: "I don't hate Lord Huo either, I only hate you from beginning to end!"
"Why, why do you hate me?" said Hua Liyue, stunned, incredulous.
Why? Full of resentment, Li Ruolan didn't know how to speak, she could only sneer again and again.
Since she was a child, she was a restrained and timid child, and because of her amazing beauty, her mother was bent on sending her to the high branches. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and since the age of five, she began to learn female workers, learn to manage accounts, learn cooking, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learn everything her mother thinks she should learn.
She has always followed the rules, obeyed her mother's arrangement in everything, and never dared to make a mistake. Life should have gone on without waves, until she married into a famous nobleman who was helpful to her family and brother, maybe she could also fight with those concubines in the backyard, so that life would not be so boring.
She didn't know that she would meet Xiao Fengnan, and she didn't know that she would be very affectionate to him. This is the only variable in her life, but unfortunately Li Ruolan does not have the courage to pursue her own happiness after all, nor does she have the courage to continue this variable.
Why did she become friends with Hua Lianyue? Probably because she was envious of her flamboyance, freedom, presumptuousness, and even a scoundrel! She often thought that if Hua Lianyue was Hua Lianyue, she would definitely go to heaven and earth to find out Xiao Fengnan, instead of hiding silently in love.
Until that day, in the Fahua Temple in Dongling, she finally met the man who made her heart ache, and this man was showing great hospitality to Hua Lianyue, and ruthlessly trampled his portrait under his feet and crushed into mud. Probably since then, she has hated Hua Liyue.
Even if she knew that she shouldn't, even if she knew that she was not qualified, even if she knew that even if it wasn't Hua Lianyue, there would be others, she still couldn't help but be jealous and couldn't help but be resentful.
Especially when she found out that she was already so unlucky, and Hua Lianyue, who had brought misfortune to herself, was still wanton, flamboyant, and happily swaggering, the resentment in her heart was to the extreme.
In fact, it was not so much resentment as jealousy, jealousy that she had everything she dreamed of.
Li Ruolan was already determined to die, and now she can pull a few cushions, which is not bad. Thinking of this, she showed a hearty sneer.
Li Ruolan shook off the blossom and staggered to her feet. She patted the mud off her body and pinched the messy hairpin on her forehead behind her ears. She looked at Liu Hui in Hua Lianyue's arms, and her expression was a little abnormal. After half a ring, three words were said: "I'm sorry!"
The others still don't know why, she has already slammed into the long sword in Feng Si's hand. She used all her strength, Feng Si's sword was not ordinary, although it was not as good as a famous sword like Mo Ye, but it was also sharpened like clay, and the hair was blown and the blade was broken.
The tip of the sword easily pierced her body, and viscous blood gushed out. Feng Si frowned and let go of his hand. Li Ruolan knelt down softly with a "poof".
She gripped the hilt of the sword and barely raised her head, looked at Hua Lianyue in her sluggishness, and said slowly: "You ruined my love, and I ruined your love, we can't be sisters after all......"
She gritted her teeth and grabbed the hilt of her sword and pulled it out, spilling blood all over the ground. Looking at a jackdaw flying low in the sky, Li Ruolan slowly closed her eyes.
Liu Hui couldn't support it anymore, and slowly closed his eyes in the panicked shouts around him.
When Liu Hui woke up, it was in the middle of the night. I found myself lying in that familiar room, surrounded by candlelight. Beneath him was a warm, soft wolfskin mattress, and the silver frost in the brazier crackled. A warm breath like spring, mixed with a faint smell of medicine, lingered on the tip of his nose.
Hua Liyue was still wearing the white woolen jacket, supporting her forehead with one hand, and closing her eyes in front of the table. His body moved slightly, and he felt a sharp pain from the wound on his back.
"Hiss," he squeezed a soft breath from between his teeth.
Hua Liyue opened her eyes suddenly, and met his deep dark eyes, she said in surprise, "You're finally awake!" She pounced and grabbed his wrist tightly, with some lost ecstasy in her eyes.
Liu Hui was also a little dazed, he thought that he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect to be able to pick up a life from the hands of the king of Hades. Despite the severe pain all over his body, he reached out his arm and gently hugged her.
He smiled and said, "Yue'er, we'll never be separated again, okay?"
Hua Lianyue looked at the man in front of him who had just returned from the death line, the first thing he did when he woke up was to pray that he would never be separated in the future, he seemed to have a true heart tied to himself.
After a moment of silence, Hua Lianyue said, "Your Royal Highness King Xian, do you remember that Miss Zhong family?" Her words were like a basin of ice and snow, ruthlessly poured on the heads of the two of them.
Liu Hui froze for a moment and let go of his hand. He looked at her suspiciously and said, "Good and decent, what are you doing with her?"
The initial excitement wore off, and Hua Lianyue regained her coolness, she stood up and went to the table, and poured out the dark potion from the medicine jar that had been warm. He blew it slightly, turned around and handed it to Liu Hui.
She said quietly: "Let's drink the medicine first! I'll talk to you after drinking the medicine!"
Liu Hui once again deeply felt that Zhong Lingxiu had become an invisible barrier between the two. He honestly took the medicine bowl and drank it all. When Hua Lianyue reached out to take the bowl, he quickly grabbed her wrist and wanted to explain a few words.
But hearing Hua Lianyue snort in pain, she shrank and quickly took her hand back. Even though it was lightning, he saw a thick layer of gauze wrapped around her wrists.
Hua Liyue quickly lowered her sleeves, blocking the gauze on her wrists, and at the same time blocking his suspicious gaze. She put the medicine bowl back on the table and said lightly, "You should know that I arrested Zhong Lingxiu and imprisoned her with those felons." ”
Liu Hui was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I heard about it!"
Hua Lianyue licked her dry lips and continued: "I heard a report yesterday that she has been on hunger strike for three days. It's freezing here, and it's a miracle that she didn't die after three days of hunger strike, but she definitely won't last long. ”
She raised her eyes and looked at Liu Hui quietly, and said, "Although she has done a lot of things in secret, after all, she didn't kill people herself, and I haven't thought about what to do with her." You're also an old acquaintance of hers, so you might as well give some advice. ”
Liu Hui looked stunned, and habitually frowned. Hua Liyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him, waiting for his final decision.
After half a ring, he said slowly: "Yue'er, you have forgotten, this is a bitter cold place, and the important criminals of the imperial court have always been sent here. Since she has committed a felony, let her work with those felons, and she should atone for her own sins!"
Hua Lianyue tilted her head to look at him, and said with a sigh: "Let a pampered eldest lady follow a group of felons to work, it is better to kill her, you are really willing." ”
A faint smile flashed on Liu Hui's pale and haggard face, and he said: "I know that you have always been soft-hearted, this wicked person should be left to me to be done! It's not to imprison her for the rest of her life, if she repents and gives up after a few years, let's give her back her freedom, what do you think?"
