15. Old things

The distance between the two was less than half a foot, so close that even each other's breathing could be heard clearly. His lone wolf-like eyes stared straight at her, although she had no memory, but her temperament had not changed at all, those clear eyes, as in the past, did not show weakness when looking at people, whenever there was any dispute with him, he always confronted him so stubbornly. His heart softened suddenly, she didn't remember anything, and no matter how annoyed he was, she wouldn't understand. He let out a deep breath, and his voice softened, "I'm with you...... It's a big deal. ”

Xiyue frowned, looking at his eyes full of vigilance, "If you know anything, just say it happily, if you want to lie to me, I won't tolerate you because you helped me just now." If you are a conscientious person, you will do things for him, and he will find a good future for you. As for the rest...... You'd better think less about anything else. ”

Zishuo suddenly felt depressed, he just said that he had a good relationship with her, did she think that she was trying to figure her out in exchange for a future? There was annoyance on his face, "I'm a dignified seven-foot man, so I don't have to rely on a woman for a future." Besides, if I want to seek a future, will I let the prince not use you and use you? It's one thing for you to think of yourself. ”

Xiyue pursed her lips, and she knew in her heart that he was reasonable, but she really couldn't figure it out, how could he, a Ming Yan envoy with strict rules, have anything to do with her? She snorted, "So you don't even say it?" I'll leave without saying anything. She turned around to leave, but Zishuo grabbed her arm, "Don't say I didn't remind you, those guards haven't dispersed just now, and you will only die if you go out now." ”

His strength was a little too strong, and it hurt her, and she shook off his hand fiercely, but she didn't insist on leaving. The two were silent for a while, Xiyue was thinly dressed, and the cold air hit for a while, she shivered, and rubbed her arms a few times. Zishuo saw that her little face was red from the cold, and Fang Cai's anger couldn't help but subside, and he took off his robe and draped it over her. She was stunned, although she did not refuse, but there was still a look of caution on her face, as if she felt that he had bad intentions.

Such an unfamiliar look made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness, he turned his face away, and tried his best to suppress the urge in his chest to look up to the sky and let out his grief and anger, in the end, he was also responsible for her appearance now. And now, she is full of wariness against him, and if he tells him all the truth, not only will she not believe him, but she will think that he has ulterior motives, and will only be more suspicious and disgusted with him.

He let out a long sigh, that's it, she has lost her memory, and she will not remember the past in the future, this matter is not in a hurry, the slightest carelessness will only backfire, and now she can only slowly figure it out, step by step to make her believe in herself.

He slowed down his tone and said in a low voice, "The other day you said you wanted to know about Yili, I can sue you." He decided to tell her about the separation first, and as for his entanglements with her, he would wait for her to let down her guard against him in the future.

Xiyue seemed to be a little surprised when she heard this, but she didn't speak, and only looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

He looked up at the starry sky and was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Sixty miles east of Yicheng, there is a big mountain, called Wuhuang, and there is a Buddhist temple on the mountain, called Great Compassion. Because the barren mountain is far away from the Yicheng, there is no shop in front of the village, and the Great Compassion Temple is in the deep mountains, so ordinary people know little, but it is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the master who presides over the crossing is a generation of monks, although he rarely sets foot in the rivers and lakes, the people in the rivers and lakes are extremely respectful of him.

Yili was born in the Great Compassion Temple, Xu was Duyi saw that he was not over, although he accepted him as a disciple, but did not let him shave as a monk, only let him be a lay disciple. In addition to the Great Compassion Temple on the Wuhuang Mountain, there is also a nunnery, called Caowei Hall, the owner of the nunnery, Huishui Shitai, and Master Duyi is a close friend.

More than 10 years ago, there was an official lady in Yicheng, who was ordered by Xiangshi when she was a child, saying that she could not be kept at home before she was married, otherwise her parents and brothers would be restless, and if she was far away from her family, she would be extremely rich and expensive in the future. So her parents sent her to Kusao Tang when she was eight years old, and donated money to Kusao Tang every year, so that she could live in the nunnery all the time.

I often followed Master Du Yi to Caowei Hall when I was young, and I have known the official lady since I was a child, and I can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart. The two grew up, and naturally they fell in love with each other.

The father of the official lady is only an eight-grade petty official in Yicheng, but his heart is higher than the sky, and he has always remembered the words of the Xiangshi, hoping that in the future, his daughter will climb to the rank of prince and grandson, so that he can be promoted to become rich. Although he fostered his daughter in the nunnery, he still hired a good teacher to teach her to read, and the young lady was a smart and clever person, who was excellent at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was especially good at dancing.

When the young lady was fifteen years old, her parents finally took her home. Her father drilled around the camp and dredged up, and finally found an opportunity to let her enter the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday on the Queen Mother's birthday. That night, this official lady danced amazingly, and really lived up to her father's high expectations, and successfully won the favor of a noble man of high status. ”

Xiyue had been listening carefully, although she was skeptical of Zishuo at first, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but get nervous, blinked her eyes and asked, "Does her father want her to marry that nobleman?" Would she like to? What should I do if I leave? ”

Zishuo glanced at her, only to think that she blinked at his delicate and cute demeanor, but when she thought that if she knew the truth, she didn't know how sad she would be, and her heart couldn't help sinking, and she sighed and said, "She doesn't want to." This official lady is very assertive, and she doesn't want to climb the dragon and the phoenix at all. But the noble man fell in love with her at first sight, and even borrowed the Queen Mother's Chrysostom to announce her entering the palace so that she could take the opportunity to get close.

When the Queen Mother saw that he was interested in the woman, she ordered someone to come to her house to propose marriage, and her parents were overjoyed, accepted the dowry, and set the wedding date. Miss Yili loves Yili deeply, and is unwilling to be manipulated by others, so she secretly asks Yili to meet and wants Yili to take her away. When the nobleman found out, he was furious, and he found Yili, and the two fought viciously, and the nobleman was seriously injured. When the two agreed to elope, Yili never appeared. The young lady thought that he had died of serious injuries and was heartbroken, and committed suicide the day after marriage. ”

"Ah...... How so? Why didn't you take her away? Xiyue exclaimed, and then thought that the young lady died on the second day of marriage, and her heart was cold for a moment, "The official lady in your mouth...... Is it the late princess? ”

Zishuo saw that her little face was pale, and although she was a little unbearable, she still said: "Yes, you also guessed that the official lady who grew up in Caowei Hall and left Yili's childhood sweetheart is the deceased princess." He paused, and then said word by word, "And that noble man ...... It is the prince of Rui Wang, Yan Xu. ”

Although she had already guessed a rough idea, but at this time, she still felt unbelievable when she received confirmation from Zishuo's mouth, her head seemed to be suddenly hollowed out, but her heart was dull and painful, and even breathing became difficult.

If she had never been to Yan Xu's secret room, she could still comfort herself, it was seven years ago, a qiē has long passed, and now the person next to Yan Xu is her and not others. But she had already been to that secret room, the portrait on the wall, and the woman in the jade coffin, all of which made her unable to deceive herself anymore, Yan Xu did not forget the princess at all, even if she had been dead for seven years, he even carefully kept her body.

Only then did she realize how much she had deceived herself before, and she actually couldn't stand that there were other women hidden in his heart, even if that was the late princess. Zishuo didn't speak, he looked at the woman in front of him silently, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that she was sad, but who knew that at this time, he was a hundred times sadder than her.

After a long time, Xi Yuecai asked in a deep voice: "You just said so much, but what does it have to do with me?" "What Zishuo said just now is all the grievances between Yili and the late princess and Yan Xu, but she was not mentioned at all.

Zishuo looked away from her face, half-lowered his eyes as if thinking about how to phrase it, and only after a moment did he whisper: "You are an orphan, you were abandoned in the barren mountain not long after you were born, it was Yili who found you and brought you back to the Great Compassion Temple, and when Du saw that you were pitiful, he took you in, and you grew up in the Great Compassion Temple before you were six years old." ”

It turned out that she was an orphan...... Xiyue's eyes widened, sad and surprised, "I...... I grew up in the Temple of Great Compassion? ”

Zishuo nodded, and continued: "All along, it is Yili who has taken care of you, you are not brothers and sisters, but you are better than brothers and sisters. Later, when you grew up, Watichi felt that you were a woman after all, and it was inconvenient to live in the Great Compassion Temple, so he sent you to Caowei Hall and entrusted Huishui Shitai to take care of you on his behalf. It just so happened that the princess was sent to Caoweitang by her family that year, and she also took good care of you, and she didn't forget to let you learn together when she was reading and writing, so you not only had a deep relationship with Yili, but also had a deep relationship with the late princess, and the late princess was like a sister, eating and living together......"

"Enough!" How can it be? How could she be like a sister to the late concubine? The person she was deeply jealous of just now turned out to be her sister who had been taking care of her growing up? She covered her ears, unwilling to listen any more, "You lie! You talk nonsense, you lied to me at all, you liar! You have bad intentions! ”

Zishuo pursed his lips, he guessed that it would be like this, he repeatedly warned himself that she had no memory, and she only had a Yan Xu in her heart, and she couldn't be in a hurry, but unfortunately he still thought simply, he only told her the tip of the iceberg that she had almost collapsed, he didn't dare to imagine anymore, if she knew the whole thing, what would happen?
