Yun Xi seemed to see the doubts in Zhao Qing's heart, and slowly helped her up and leaned against the bed, her eyes were determined, Yun Xi calmed down for a moment, opened her mouth lightly, and recalled the past. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Qingqing, I have often had a dream over the years, and in my dreams I always saw a large area of blood and two people whose faces could not be seen clearly. They were a man and a woman, and the scene of the assassination appeared before my eyes every time, they fell in a pool of blood, and the man who killed them, who had a special cloud pattern on their clothes. The blood-stained sword in his hand slashed across the ground with a piercing sound. I couldn't see the faces of the man and the woman, but I felt that they were very kind, as if they were my father. Yun Xi paused for a moment, and his determined eyes were gradually covered with pain.
Zhao Qing suddenly recalled the horror and loss on Yunxi's face when he woke up in a dream in the study of the Xiangfu. It turned out that it was because he dreamed again that his parents were killed. Looking at Yun Xi's appearance, a little distressed, Zhao Qing held Yun Xi's hand tightly. Yun Xi smiled bitterly and watched her continue to speak.
"On that day, you and I were stabbed in Yunhu, and when I saw the subordinate lying in a pool of blood, it stimulated my memory. The clip of my parents being killed back in my mind flashed back to me, and when the man in black who was chasing us appeared, I completely remembered that it was them! Yun Xi's hand became stronger, and Zhao Qing's hand was a little painful. The anger and gloom of hatred in his heart radiated through his handsome and slender eyes, and he continued. "Seven years ago, thirty miles away on the outskirts of Beijing, the Yan family had a summer resort, and my father and mother took me to live there. Unexpectedly, on the night of the day when I arrived at the summer resort, there were some black-clothed people of unknown origin, who were not thieves or bandits, cruel and quick-trained, and all of them were killed with a sword. At that time, there were 30 people in the villa, and none of them were spared. Seeing that the situation was critical, my father and mother hid me in a secret compartment in the villa, and I, in the hole of the dark compartment, watched them being killed by the men in black, and I could not see the faces of the murderers, only the moire marks on their clothes and knives. Later, my grandfather found me in a coma from the dark grid, and after I fell seriously ill, I didn't remember anything, and I became stupid and stupid from then on. ”
"Yun Xi ......" At this time, Zhao Qing didn't know what to say to comfort him, but just put his other hand on Yun Xi's slender hand. Leaning gently in his arms, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and she felt indescribably distressed. At a young age, he faced such an encounter, which made Zhao Qing's heart to protect Yunxi even more. She whispered softly. "You still have me, I will protect you in the future!"
"Thankfully, God let me meet you." Yun Xi hugged Zhao Qing tightly, and his magnetic voice was full of emotion and relief.
"By the way, Yunxi, where are we now?" Zhao Qing suddenly remembered that he was in a strange place now, and his body was a little heavy and weak, which was very uncomfortable. "How long have I been asleep? Why do I feel like I've been dreaming for a long time? ”
"This is the Underworld Pavilion of the Underworld, and you have been in a coma for three days." Before Yun Xi could speak, another voice came from outside the door.
I saw Xuan Ming walk in with a maid in an orchid shirt, holding a tray in her hand, on which was placed a jade bowl made of white jade, with a clear color and a light brown liquid inside.
"How could I have been in a coma for so long, I remember you carrying me into a fog. Then after smelling a faint fragrance, I fell asleep unconsciously. Zhao Qing frowned slightly, rubbed his temples lightly with his fingertips, and tried to recall.
"That fog is a trick set up by the Underworld, in order not to let people enter casually. Beneath the mist is planted a kind of nether grass, which emits a strange fragrance, and those who smell it will immediately fall into a deep coma, sink into a state of suspended animation, and if they do not take our antidote within twelve hours, they will sleep forever. Xuan Ming glanced slightly sideways at the maid behind him, and the maid received Xuan Ming's order and respectfully carried the medicine bowl to Zhao Qing.
"What is this?" Zhao Qing looked at the jade bowl held by the maid and smelled a faint smell of medicine.
"This is a decoction for wind and cold, and you were drenched in the rain before. I was infected with wind and cold, so when I gave you the antidote of Nether Grass, I still didn't wake up. Xuan Ming stood in place and explained quietly.
"I'll do it." The blue-clothed maid wanted to get up and feed me the medicine, Yun Xi raised her hand and picked up the medicine bowl and said. The blue-clothed maid leaned over and bowed her head and retreated to Xuan Ming's side, and after Yun Xi carefully blew the cold decoction medicine for Zhao Qing, she carefully fed it to her mouth, and then instructed. "Be careful."
Such a careful and gentle Yunxi made Zhao Qing's heart warm for a while, and Yingyingmei's eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of affection, although the medicine was bitter, but the heart was sweet. Zhao Qing lightly opened her lips, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she was a little more coquettish. And Yun Xi took care of the lovely person in front of him in every detail, and she was also full of self-blame in her heart, which caused her to suffer with herself.
However, at this time, the scene of the two of them being in love with each other made Xuan Ming on the side look at it for a long time, and Xuan Ming returned to his previous coldness from his indifferent tone just now.
"After Miss Zhao recovers, the landlord will see you!" Xuan Ming turned around and ordered the blue-clothed maid. "You stay and serve."
"Yes, Immortal!" The blue-clothed maid bowed.
With that, Xuan Ming went out. Zhao Qing looked at his back and sighed in his heart, hey! How did it turn back into a big iceberg...... On second thought, this maid just called him an envoy?
"What's your name, girl?" Zhao Qing looked at the lan-clothed maid standing aside and asked in a friendly manner.
"My name is Zilan, I will take care of the girl's daily life and diet these days, what does the girl need, just tell Zilan to be." Zilan replied thoughtfully and humbly, always with a faint smile on her face.
"Then it's up to Sister Lao Zilan to bother." Zhao Qing smiled and said politely to Zilan.
"The girl has tormented Zilan, which in itself is what Zilan should do." Zilan bowed slightly and replied lightly.
"Sister Zilan, I want to ask, just now you called Xuan Ming an envoy? Yun Xi and I first came to the Stygian Building, but I don't know much about it here, can my sister tell me a thing or two, so as not to offend her. Zhao Qing wondered about the identity of Xuan Ming, and the owner of the Underworld, it sounded like he was on the rivers and lakes, why did he come to save them?
"The envoy is the master of the Pavilion, except for the owner of the Pavilion. It is the four envoys of the ghost and ghost where the landlord sits, the ghost envoy is deceased, and the landlord values our pavilion master the most on weekdays. Zilan didn't go into details, but just roughly summarized the important people in the Underworld.
"Oh, then why did your landlord save us?" Zhao Qing asked tentatively.
"This, Zilan doesn't know." Looking at Zilan's appearance, Zhao Qing shouldn't be able to ask the answer she wants.
"Okay, Sister Zilan, I want to rest, you go down first. If there is something to say, I will call you. ”
"Yes." Zilan bowed slightly in response. Then he turned around and went out, and closed the door.
After Zilan left, Yun Xi saw that Zhao Qing was a little tired from sitting, so he helped her lie down. After helping her cover the quilt, Yun Xi still sat next to Zhao Qing, holding her hand and looking at her gently. Yun Xi looked a little tired, she must have stayed by her side without resting, Zhao Qing was a little distressed.
"Yunxi, I'm much better, you don't have to stay next to me all the time, you can go and rest too." Zhao Qing looked at Yun Xi distressedly, raised his hand to stroke his cheek, his face was not very good.
"Okay!" The corners of Yun Xi's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled evilly. got up and jumped on the jade bed and lay down beside Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing was a little overwhelmed, and when she reacted, Yun Xi's face was already lying in front of her, looking at her so closely, Zhao Qing's face suddenly began to heat up. subconsciously wanted to hide back, but was grabbed by Yun Xi one step later.
"Yunxi, ...... you" Zhao Qing was a little panicked, not knowing where to look with his eyes.
"Qingqing, they know that we are husband and wife, so they only prepared one room. Do you want me to sleep in the hallway tonight? Yun Xi said pitifully, admiring Zhao Qing's stunned and shyness, and couldn't help but feel cute.
Yun Xi saw that Zhao Qing was silent, shy, pretending to be pitiful and leaving.
"Hey, I'm so pitiful, I've been hunted down and robbed, I've been worried about you since I was separated from you that day, and I haven't slept for a day and a night, I'm so tired, and I'm injured on the shoulder. I'm exhausted right now. I haven't had a bed to sleep in, so it's really hard. Yun Xi pretended to get up while complaining pitifully.
Although he knew that Yun Xi deliberately pretended to be pitiful, Zhao Qing was still a little worried in his heart, after all, he was injured, and in order to take care of her, he must have stayed awake all night.
"Come on." Zhao Qing moved his position slightly and glanced at Yun Xi, who was pretending to be beside him.
Yun Xi was proud, jumped on the jade bed quickly, and lay down beside Zhao Qing. Yun Xi's appearance made her helpless and funny, and Zhao Qing raised her hand to gently change the quilt for him. I want to turn my back on him and keep some distance from him. Yun Xi saw her moves, and took her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Zhao Qing's body trembled slightly, a little embarrassed, and subconsciously wanted to push Yun Xi away.
"Qingqing, don't push me away, just let me hold you like this. Be steady, I'm so tired, but I'm so afraid that when I open my eyes, you'll be gone. Yunxi's tired voice came from above Zhao Qing's head, she was not struggling, just quietly snuggling in his arms. Qingqing, promise me that you will not run in front of me to block the sword for me in the future, I don't want to lose your ...... again"
Yun Xi's voice gradually deepened, and with the sound of even breathing, he seemed to have fallen asleep. Zhao Qing raised his head lightly and quietly looked at Yun Xi's sleeping appearance. couldn't help but raise a smile of relief on the corner of his mouth, he cared about himself, except for her father, there had never been a man who could protect her and love her like this. The corners of her mouth flashed with a happy smile, she really wanted to be held by Yun Xi like this forever, forget all the hatred and misfortune, and be so happy forever.
