Chapter Twenty-Four: Resurrection of the Dead
"Yilin, you finally woke up, but you scared your mother to death!"
Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Zhaolin, her eyes full of love and relief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a pity that Xie Zhaolin didn't feel warm at all, just because of the sound of "Yilin".
Are you kidding? No matter why they suddenly appeared in the palace, although the second sister and her name are only one word apart, they are completely two people!
Mrs. Xie actually called her "Yilin".
"Second Miss, you have finally woken up, you must know that you have been in a coma for two days, and everyone is in a hurry these days!" Closely following Mrs. Xie, Aunt Liu also came to offer her courtesy.
Second Miss? So Aunt Liu also said that she was Xie Yilin, this one can be regarded as a mistake, it is really unusual for two people to say this.
Xie Zhaolin was not angry, only full of doubts to ask, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak.
"Green Warbler, what are you still doing? Why don't you bring tea to the young lady!" Mrs. Xie smiled at Xie Zhaolin, turned her head and shouted at Yahuan angrily.
Yahuan, whose name is called Green Ying, immediately brought tea, Mrs. Xie lifted her sleeves and took it, and tested the water temperature herself before handing the rim of the cup to Xie Zhaolin's mouth.
Although she has been a young lady and a princess in the Xie family and the palace one after another, one is a concubine, and she is restrained by her aunt, in the words of Mrs. Xie, she is almost the same as Yahuan.
The other is because of the rumors in the palace and the emperor's lack of attention, and he is also the master who is ignored.
So there has never been a situation like today when someone hands the cup to his lips and feeds him water!
So Xie Zhaolin was embarrassed, and tried to raise his weak hand to drink it himself, but the moment he saw his hand, he was shocked again.
In front of her was a pair of white, full and round little hands, which were completely different from her original hands that were ridiculed by Xiao Qian as chicken paws.
Rather... It is very similar to Mrs. Xie's hand.
Xie Zhaolin looked at the hands of Mrs. Xie who was holding a cup with a pair of equally fair and round noble women, and then carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, and the doubts in her heart gradually dispersed.
"What, Yilin, is it still hot?" Seeing that Xie Zhaolin didn't stop talking for a long time, Mrs. Xie wanted to take the water back and blow it again.
Xie Zhaolin shook his head with a smile, and drank the water with the eldest lady's hand. Only then did she feel much better at this time, and the next thing she needed to confirm was something.
"Mother, I still want to rest for a while." Xie Zhaolin slowly leaned on the mattress, and the meaning of his words was to ask everyone to leave.
Mrs. Xie naturally had no objections, and instructed the green warbler to serve the young lady well, and when the young lady woke up and brought the hot porridge over, she got up and took the lead.
Only Aunt Liu was left standing in place with a bad face.
Xie Jialin went over to pull her sleeve, and she threw her away.
"Auntie!" Xie Jialin screamed, her tone was already impatient, and she shook her head.
Aunt Liu flicked her sleeves and followed her angrily.
When she couldn't hear the footsteps at all, Xie Zhaolin immediately opened her eyes and instructed Lu Ying to bring the jewelry box on the dresser.
She still remembers the second sister's birthday when she was seven years old, and the second uncle who was far away in the capital asked someone to bring a gift.
It was a silver mirror from Persia, inlaid with turquoise, and it was beautifully worked.
Silver is actually not too valuable, and turquoise is not a rare thing, so the rarest place of this mirror is naturally not here.
What is amazing is that it is the same as the original, and it is not as dim and distorted as a bronze mirror.
After getting such a gift, Xie Yilin was naturally very precious, and immediately wrapped it in brocade cloth and hid it, and even Xie Zhaolin only showed it once.
Although seven years have passed now, such a mirror is still rare, so Xie Zhaolin expects that this mirror must be well hidden in the old place.
When I opened the jewelry box, sure enough, the mirror was wrapped in a purple brocade cloth and placed at the bottom layer.
Picking up the mirror with trembling hands, and peeling off the brocade cloth with trembling hands, Xie Zhaolin's heart jumped "thump".
She took a deep breath, picked up the mirror, and slowly aimed it at her face.
In the bright mirror, the face of a slightly pale and haggard girl was reflected.
Slightly slender eyes, a moderately high nose, slightly thin lips, and thick eyebrows set off her a lot of heroism.
Also, a tear mole under the right eye.
Despite the changes, this face still coincides with the outline of Xie Yilin in Xie Zhaolin's memory.
"Ahh
"Miss, why are you crying? Your face is so good. The green warbler, who had been standing aside, couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, nothing, I'm a little hungry, you go see if there's anything to eat." Xie Zhaolin excused himself to branch out of the green warbler.
As soon as the green warbler left, her tears couldn't help falling again.
for herself, but also for the second sister Xie Yilin.
When Xie Zhaolin was in the Xuanyang faction, he couldn't practice internal strength because of his body, so he could only practice his fists and feet, or go to the organ building.
And when she didn't unlock the door to the building, the place she went to most often was the library.
The library building is full of sweat and all-encompassing.
Xie Zhaolin's favorite type of book is the Zhiwei category, and many of the stories in this book tell about the great change in temperament after people come back from the dead.
There are many explanations given in the book, and one of them is to resurrect the soul.
Xie Zhaolin only felt ridiculous when she saw it, but when she saw her completely different hands, the first thing that flashed in her mind was this conjecture.
The forest is big, and all birds say that this is their own situation!
Even so, there is not much joy in her heart to live again, but it is too difficult.
borrowed the corpse to return the soul, so she and the second sister are actually dead!
Thinking of the fire that day, Xie Zhaolin didn't think that her body was still intact, that is, she occupied the body of the second sister, and the second sister had nowhere to go.
If it was a stranger, she wouldn't feel anything, but the second sister was the first peer in her life to be good to her.
So even if Xie Zhaolin later knew that the two were not sisters, she had no intention of denying each other.
Speaking of herself, she must have been burned to death.
To tell the truth, there may be many people who are happy that she is dead.
It's just because the identity she replaced, such as Princess Yan, is really an embarrassing existence in the palace.
Back then, there was a beautiful woman in the harem who made a rebellion, and she wanted to kill Concubine Bai Xian's child, Princess Ruyan, with a Gu curse.
was discovered by Concubine Bai Xian, but she was suspicious and unwilling to trust the people in the palace, and the Gu poison was difficult to solve, so the imperial doctor was helpless, so she sent her cronies to send the child out of the palace overnight to find a cure.
