Chapter 219: It's All a Scam (1)
The candle flame in the room flickered, the cold wind and rain outside the window, and the room gradually became cold, but what was even cooler was the heart of the people in the room at this moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Cen Kexuan, whose lips were pale, hunched over and hid in the quilt, holding the jade pendant that she once regarded as her life tightly in her palm, but her heart was chaotic and even empty like never before.
"Fake...... Is it? β
That's why he can smile like that and return the jade to her as if nothing happened?
But if the jade pendant in her hand is fake, and even as Han Yue said, all the jade that appears in the world is fake jade, then ...... Could it be that the palace master was lying to her from the beginning? Cen Zifei didn't leave a piece of jade for her at all, let alone promise to come to Ziyun Palace to pick her up, and maybe he didn't even know where she had been all these years.
On that snowy day, my brother may have just left for a while, and when she came back as promised, she had already been taken away by Murong Qi, leaving no trace.
These nine years of self-righteous promises and waiting, but it is just a scam by Murong Qi, whether it is the Bai family or Murong Qi, they all killed her parents and family for their own purposes, causing him to separate from his brothers and sisters, and then continue to treat her like a fool, completely deceiving and using her, for nine years, the conspiracy is shrouded and intertwined into a big lie.
Everyone knows the entanglement, but she, Cen Kexuan, is still like a fool and doesn't know anything.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
That night, Han Yue sent her back to her residence, silently watching her leave, and Cen Kexuan, who was preoccupied, could no longer look at him, she forgot how she went back to the house, and how she fell asleep in the chaos of thoughts, the night sky, like a huge picture scroll unfolding outside the window, but the overwhelming momentum oppressed her so much that she couldn't break through.
Since this day, she has almost been in a coma, sometimes she can feel Bai Moyin beside her, and sometimes she feels that there is no one around her. She was already tired, and she couldn't take care of it anymore, and when she dreamed back at midnight, she occasionally groped for the jade pendant in the wardrobe, but her mind was already in chaos.
Sometimes sober, sometimes vague, she doesn't know how long this state lasted, she vaguely felt her body swaying, opened her eyes, and realized that she was on the way, Bai Moyin held her hand and sat in the carriage, but her eyes looked out the window, I don't know what she was thinking, she woke up and he didn't even notice. The light and shadow outside the window came in, and only half of his face could be illuminated, flickering and dimming, and it turned out to be unreal, Cen Kexuan had a terrible headache, and reached out to touch his face, but he held it.
"Awake?" She heard him whisper.
"Is this going back to Luoyang City?" She looked at some familiar paths outside the window, and her eyes gradually dimmed, "When you return to Luoyang City, you are going to go up Fushan, right?" β
"It won't be long." He shoved her hand into the big gauntlet, "Won't stay there for long." β
The implication is to determine the northward direction of this trip. Cen Kexuan shook his head and muttered unconsciously: "I have to marry him after all...... I don't know if I will live to that day. His lips were white, and tears were pouring in his eyes. Bai Moyin held her hand and was about to open her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Cen Kexuan's choked voice: "Have you forgotten what Bai Gongzi once said, since the palace master has agreed to this marriage, then I will die in Fushan." β
"When the time is right, I'll take you away." After a while, he squeezed her hand and whispered.
"You're lying to me again." She muttered.
"Not this time."
How can you promise so casually what you can't do...... Cen Kexuan wanted to speak, but his throat was dry and hoarse, so he didn't continue to speak, and fell asleep again in a drowsy state. It's just vague, as if to ask him, "In Biliuyuan, what did you want to say to me the night I went to look for you?" β
She seemed to have vaguely guessed it, but this time, she didn't hear his answer for a long time.
This seems to be the period when she was most cared for, and soon returned to Biliuyuan, Qin Yun and others in front of her opened the way, countless people were waiting on the side, he personally helped her get out of the car, carried her back to the house, completely ignoring the eyes of others and the current identity, a large number of maids and servants stepped forward to serve, changed her into clean clothes, and had her favorite pastries and porridge, occasionally sober, and had to Bai Moyin personally feed her porridge and drink medicine.
She was powerless to care about the drugs and the truth, but there were often tears in the corners of her eyes, and he reached out and touched the corners of her eyes, and the tears slid down his fingers, causing his already deep eyes to become darker and darker.
She stopped talking to him, but just stared at him stunned on the pillow, letting him take care of herself, her eyes moving from side to side with his figure, often inadvertently, falling asleep again.
"Miss, I hurt you, I hurt you." Faintly, someone was talking about something, and it took a long time to hear Doulan's crying voice, "I shouldn't believe him...... I shouldn't have believed his ......"
"I'll avenge Miss......"
Cen Kexuan was confused and couldn't understand it, and when he woke up, there was no one around him.
"I will avenge Miss......" She vaguely remembered Doulan's words, and frowned slightly, "What is that girl going to do?" She looked out the window, and suddenly found that the layout of the room she lived in had all changed, and after taking a closer look, she realized that this was the one where Bai Moyin often lived, not the one she lived in before.
Maybe it's to make it easier to take care of her. Cen Kexuan got up and walked out with her hands on the wall, she always felt uneasy in her heart, she was a little afraid that Dou Lan would do something. For some reason, the people in Biliuyuan suddenly became surprisingly few, and she didn't see half a figure when she walked around, until she stepped into the backyard door and was about to go out, when she finally heard someone talking outside the wall, she quickly retracted her steps and hid.
"These are my private affairs, Miss Huayue doesn't need to bother so much."
"I just don't want to save your life in vain, but I have made such a waste for you, your own life is in danger, and you still have the heart to care about other people's affairs?"
Cen Kexuan was stunned, how could this seem to be the voice of Hua Yue and Bai Moyin? She quietly stretched out her head to look and saw the upright figure of a woman outside the courtyard, it was Hua Yue she had seen many days ago, she led a white horse, her expression was cold, and the person standing opposite her was really Mo Yin's son in white.
Even if he had already guessed that there should be some unknown relationship between the two of them, but really seeing it, it still made Cen Kexuan inexplicably a little nervous, but what he heard was far from Cen Kexuan's imagination.
"I am very grateful to Miss Hua Yue for saving her life, but this does not mean that the girl can interfere in my private affairs." Bai Moyin's voice turned out to be cold and alienated that she had never heard before.
Cen Kexuan was puzzled, was Bai Gongzi so cold in front of others? This attitude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away is really uncomfortable, and if this is said to her, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will not be able to eat for three whole days.
Obviously, Hua Yue was also unhappy, and her tone of voice became more radical: "Just to take away those two jade pendants that I don't know what to use, you don't even want your life?" If I hadn't happened to pass by, it would have been you who had died, not Nazenβ"
"Miss Huayue, this is my business." He interrupted her again and emphasized, his tone steady but unquestionably determined.
"What I'm going to do for you, that's my business, even if I lose my life because of it, that's my choice, and it's not about you." Hua Yue's still flat tone obviously carried some anger in it.
It turned out that Sister Hua Yue had worked so hard to find the Ice Lotus for him...... Cen Kexuan leaned against the wall, feeling sad for her ignorance, the corners of her mouth were fishy and sweet, and she covered her mouth hard to prevent herself from coughing.
After Hua Yue finished speaking, he had already turned around and grabbed the reins and wanted to leave, but he didn't know what to think, and suddenly paused, "You once said that you would repay me for saving my life, but now can you still count?" β
"As long as it's within the scope of your ability."
"Okay." The hesitation and firmness between Hua Yue's eyebrows coexisted, showing her contradiction more and more, "I don't need you to go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire for me, I just have a question I want to ask you." β
Bai Moyin hesitated slightly, and finally bowed slightly: "Please speak." β
Hua Yue turned to face him directly, her face showed a little hesitation again, and finally seemed to be persuaded by herself, she unconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "If you can announce the marriage contract with Bai Yufeng, will you marry her?" After finishing speaking, she seemed to regret it a little, put aside her gaze, and said lightly: "You can also not answer, I don't have to know, but just ask." β
She originally thought that this would be a slightly offensive question that would be difficult for him to answer, but she didn't expect Bai Moyin to reply to her lightly, "No." β
This made Hua Yue stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she had already turned over and said in a low voice, "I know." Then he flicked his whip and walked away, without saying a word about the answer.
Hearing this, there was far more than one person, Cen Kexuan covered her mouth, her face was pale, she felt empty in her heart, she stepped back a little, accidentally stepped on the dead leaves, and ran away in a panic, it took a long time to stop, sit on a stone step and pant for breath, and when she lifted up, someone in white was standing not far away and looking at her quietly.
She coughed several times in a row, and when she finally eased up, her body was already covered with a cloak, "It's getting cold these days, be careful of catching a cold." He had come to see her, and he had a cloak with him.
Cen Kexuan raised his head, there were thousands of questioning words in his heart, but in the end, he just looked at him and muttered, "The injury you suffered in the Western Regions has not healed so far?" β
"It's a bit of trouble, but it's going to be fine." He didn't care, and smiled softly.
"Who the hell is it...... Can it hurt you so far? She looked him in the eye and whispered, "His martial arts...... Isn't it amazing? β
Bai Moyin was stunned for a moment, the emotions flowing in his eyes were as difficult to catch as the floating clouds in the sky, and he said for a long time: "It's just their own obsession." Cen Kexuan looked at him in a daze, but he continued: "Sometimes, people with different positions have to hurt each other for their own persistence and obsession, even if they have no grudges between them. That strong obsession made the scar on his chest unable to heal for a long time.
"I'm sorry, but I can declare." He concluded, "Whatever I've done, I hope you'll forgive me." He looked into her eyes, with an imperceptible trace of melancholy in them, and drowned those dark eyes even deeper.
"The legendary Ice Lotus can really heal your injuries?" Cen Kexuan avoided his eyes and continued to ask him.
"How can it be so simple...... he chuckled and shook his head, for Fang Caiyue's question, Cen Kexuan didn't ask, and he didn't explain, just covered her cold hand and blew, "Go back to the house first, it's about to rain again." β
Cen Kexuan nodded, but there was another thing in his mind.
After going back, Bai Moyin stayed in her room and stayed with her for a while, she closed her eyes slightly, pretended to be asleep and wanted to break him away, and finally when it was about to fall at night, he got up and left.
Cen Kexuan got up and came to the table, once again turned out the dagger she had carried, pulled out the sheath, the cold light was shining, the edge was dazzling, she stared at the sharp blade, fell into silence for a long time, and did not make further movements for a long time.
In the end, he put the dagger on the table completely, but turned out a purple bamboo flute from the baggage, held it in his hand and pushed the door away, and walked slowly to the small courtyard, where the moon happened to come out.
