Fang Xiaoyu always felt that something was wrong, because with the information she knew about this poison, how could this matter involve Princess An?

Ye Xici glanced at Fang Xiaoyu who was standing at the door in a daze, knowing that she should have heard the conversation between him and Ye Xinrou, and was silent and didn't know what to say to break the embarrassing situation.

Fang Xiaoyu put away the doubts on his face and put the first plate of dumplings in front of Ye Xici, but he looked preoccupied.

Ye Xici picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and dipped it in the vinegar on the plate in front of him, which was a little hot, but he felt warm and warm when he ate it, and even his eyes were a little sour.

He tried his best to hold back the feeling of wanting to cry, remembering that when he was very young, only his mother remembered his birthday, and every day, his mother would cook a dumpling for him. It was the best memory of his life, and it could replace the humiliation of being deliberately humiliated and ignored. But suddenly, one day, the mother began to change. This situation lasted for nearly two years, and finally, he finally lost the most important person to him.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Fang Xiaoyu did not miss the sadness in Ye Xici's eyes, perhaps it was precisely because he was defenseless in front of her that he showed such a distressing expression, if it was usual, even if he was sad, he would cover up the past with coldness.

Ye Xici smiled, shook his head and said, "It's delicious, I haven't eaten such delicious dumplings for a long time." Ye Xici used to eat all the dumplings on the plate to prove that Fang Xiaoyu's craftsmanship was very good, and he was in a hurry to eat, and he choked, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly brought him a bowl of soup, but he didn't know that as soon as the soup reached Ye Xici's mouth, he was rudely knocked to the ground by Ye Xici, and then looked at Ye Xici, his whole face was as pale as paper, and staring at the soup bowl on the ground was like seeing some terrible monster.

Fang Xiaoyu had a strong sense of strangeness. It's not that I'm angry at Ye Xici for knocking over the soup she boiled with her own hands, it's just that I'm just angry at Ye Xici's fright, fear, and killing intent that flashed at that moment.

Ye Xici, who has always regarded the meals she made with her own hands as a treasure, why did she suddenly go crazy because of a bowl of soup? Could it be that he once had a problem drinking soup? So there is a psychological shadow?

Fang Xiaoyu didn't ask, because she felt that even if she asked Ye Xici, she might not be able to speak, so she just silently cleaned up the broken fragments of the soup bowl on the ground, and poured a glass of water for Ye Xici.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ......" Ye Xici was obviously aware of Fang Cai's faux pas, afraid that the good impression he had given Fang Xiaoyu at the beginning would disappear because of this flick, but he didn't know how to explain it, he was afraid that after he made it clear, she would dislike him even more.

"Laughing, don't blame Brother Xici. I didn't tell you in advance that Brother Xici never drank soup. Ye Xinrou was full of remorse, why did she forget to say to Xiaoyu, Brother Xici can't drink soup, as soon as he sees the soup, he will be inexplicably irritable.

Although she herself didn't know how the problem of Brother Xici came about, she thought that there must be an unspeakable past between them.

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said with a smile: "You are in too much of a hurry to eat, there are still in the kitchen." It's not enough to cook it anymore. Since it is a birthday, I will happily eat a birthday dinner, and other things will be talked about later. You eat slowly, and when you're done, I have something to say to you. ”

Fang Xiaoyu didn't care about Ye Xici's faux pas, although she also had a lot of guesses in her heart, but she didn't plan to ask. If Ye Xici is willing to say it to her, he will say it without asking. If he didn't want to, he would make everyone unhappy after being asked.

Ye Xici nodded. Guessing in his heart what Fang Xiaoyu was going to say to him, even the dumplings were a little perfunctory.

The night was getting late, the sky was already a little dark, and Ye Xinrou was very sensible and took the sixteenth prince Ye Shuqing to sit in the courtyard. After a while, she will go back with Ye Xici, so that outsiders will not gossip.

Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Xici sat on the chairs in the side hall next to the study and began a short silence.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Ye Xici was a little unaccustomed to such a rambling Fang Xiaoyu in his heart. Fang Xiaoyu has always been direct and hearty, nothing can make her show such a hesitant expression. He thought, maybe it was really the sequelae caused by him knocking over the bowl of soup that made him become an incomprehensible and short-tempered person in Fang Xiaoyu's impression, right?

Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Xici deeply, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It may arouse the sadness of the prince, but this matter is very important, whether it is for you or for me, so I still want to ask the prince to carefully recall that the symptoms after Princess An's poisoning at the beginning, the more detailed the better." ”

Ye Xiqi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Fang Xiaoyu wanted to know about this, so he frowned and asked, "Do you know what these things to do?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu thought about it for a while, and finally said, "I listened to your conversation with the Seventh Princess before. It's not that I mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, it's just that there's something in it that makes me a little concerned......"

As he spoke, Fang Xiaoyu met Ye Xici's gaze, gritted his teeth and said, "The kind of poison you said that has tormented Princess An for a long time, maybe I know its origin." ”

"What did you say?" Ye Xici didn't expect Fang Xiaoyu to say such an amazing thing, so he stood up quickly in amazement and pinched Fang Xiaoyu's shoulders with both hands. And pinched very hard.

It was just an unconscious act on his part, but the death of his mother was almost a nightmare to him that he would never wake up to, but he could not find the slightest crack or exit from this dream. And now, maybe the truth is about to surface, how can he be indifferent?

"Do you know where the poison came from? Sue me, where does it come from? Who made this poison? Where did Li Suqing get these poisons? Ye Xici's intuition was getting faster and faster, and the fear of approaching the truth hit him like a tide, but he faintly felt that maybe this was the only way he could get free.

Fang Xiaoyu gently broke Ye Xici's hand holding her shoulder, forcefully pressed Ye Xici back on the chair, and then said, "I only said it was possible, but I couldn't be sure." Therefore, I need Shizi to recall the symptoms of the princess's poisoning one by one, so that I can determine whether the poison in Princess An is the same as the strange poison in my impression. ”

Ye Xici gradually calmed down. He grabbed Fang Xiaoyu's shoulder with a lot of force, and it must have hurt her. In addition, there is no marriage between them, and men and women do not kiss, his move is already out of line.

"My mother is a very strong woman, and she has been enduring my father's repeated humiliation in order for me to get what I deserve in the house, and she has firmly guarded me." Ye Xici seemed to be mired in memory.

"I was only three years old. I didn't understand a lot of things, but I gradually realized that I was not a popular storage in the palace of King An. The three-year-old child is very fragile and realizes that he is not loved by his father. There is also a woman who wears heavy makeup all day long in front of her, proudly declaring her status in her father's heart, and there is a child about the same age as me who has been loved by the entire Anwang Mansion, obviously the same child of the father, but what he has is completely different. ”

"I cried then. Wrapping herself in the quilt and wiping her tears aggrievedly, the mother concubine took off the majesty that belonged to the princess on weekdays, and gently comforted the young me, making me feel that I was not abandoned by everyone, at least, I still have the love of my mother. ”

Ye Xici's voice was a little hoarse, and there was tenderness in his eyes that he had never felt before, and then he turned into sadness: "At first, it was just sleepy, and the physically and mentally exhausted mother who was originally tortured by her father suddenly became sleepy one day. Whether it's dealing with things in the backyard or accepting invitations from concubines, there's no time to even play with me. Of the twelve hours in a day, four or five hours are spent sleeping. And no matter how you call it, it's hard to wake up. I went to the doctor to see, but the doctor said that he was overworked, and he would be fine if he rested more, so I only thought that my mother was making up for the overworked energy in the past, and I didn't realize that my mother was suffering from a very terrible poison. ”

"At that time, when the princess was sleepy, did she have some red spots on her body?" Fang Xiaoyu filtered some of the symptoms when he heard that poison in his previous life, and asked.

"Yes." Ye Xi replied without thinking about it: "At that time, the concubine's hands and neck had a kind of red markings that looked like butterflies. I don't know if there's anything on me. It's just that what I remember so clearly is that the markings on the mother's arm gradually became larger from a little bit at the beginning, like a beautiful butterfly breaking out of its cocoon. ”

"Go on." Fang smiled and nodded knowingly.

Fang Xiaoyu knew that there would be symptoms of markings. Ye Xici had a lot of hope in his heart, so he continued: "After the initial lethargy, it lasted for about three months, and then the mother began to become energetic, and often couldn't sleep because of excess energy. ”

"She will continue to maintain the most spiritual side, and she will feel like God helping her to deal with everything. It's like overdrawing your life. Over time, it was clear that her body was full of holes and was extremely weak, but it still gave her the illusion that she was full of energy. Fang Xiaoyu said for Ye Xi.

"Not bad. The mother concubine always couldn't sleep for days and nights, and when she couldn't sleep, she used the chores in the house; to pass the long night. Many times, I always woke up and found my mother sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at me with gentle eyes, caressing my forehead, and calling me to breakfast in a soft voice. I was too young to see anything wrong, so I missed a lot of details. Ye Xici agreed with Fang Xiaoyu's statement and continued: "I'm afraid that the mother concubine had already noticed that something was wrong at that time, just to not worry me, she endured the pain of her body and persevered, shielding me from the wind and rain. ”

Subsequently, the mother began to have symptoms of confusion, often forgetting, often at the beginning to do something, but just a cup of tea, she forgot everything she was going to do. At that time, she said that she was too tired, so she was unable to do anything, and she could be fine with a little rest, but then she became more and more strict. At first, she couldn't remember her family background, and she always thought about who she was and where she came from, and gradually, she began to forget her father, Li Suqing, and everyone except me, even the maids and grandmothers who had been serving by her side. Then she started not even remembering me, but would touch my face and say that I was cute, that he also had a son, who was even better looking and better than me, but whenever she thought about her son, she was always at a loss, and she couldn't seem to remember anything about him. ”

"At that time, I began to be afraid, because my mother had become completely different from what I remembered. She was no longer beautiful, her whole body was thin and skinny, and her eyes were no longer bright and gentle, but became muddy and godless. She walked madly through every corner of the courtyard every day, as if recalling the things that could remain in her memory, but she was always disappointed, and then sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, holding her chin with her palms and motionless as if she was thinking about something, and stayed all day, until it was dark, she would follow the maid back to the house to rest. ”

"From then on, my life became a mess, and the uncertainty and fear of the future began to erode me, making me almost unable to hold on. But one morning, when I went to greet my mother as usual, she recognized me. ”

Not only that, but she began to dress up again, although she was still thin, her hair was meticulously combed, and she was dressed in a proper manner, as if she could not see the slightest trace of madness from before. She remembered who she was, who her father was, Li Suqing and Ye Xiqian, her family background, how she married into the cannibalistic hell of King An's Mansion, remembered her son's appearance, looked at me with gentle eyes again, stroked my face with the already rough palm, called me by name, made me soup, made me dumplings, remembered that my birthday was to celebrate for me, and it seemed to have changed back to the time when no pain had happened. ”

Ye Xici smiled bitterly: "I thought that the suffering of Yiqiē had passed, I didn't want anything, I just wanted to be able to live happily with my mother and concubine, even if my position in King An's Mansion was embarrassing, even if I couldn't get the love of my father, even if Li Suqing and Ye Xiqian always looked at me with vicious eyes that wanted to kill me, but there was also my mother, I didn't care about these irrelevant people." I thought I would never go back to the nightmarish days I used to have, but ......"

Ye Xici sighed deeply, his eyes were almost condensed into real sadness, and said: "But one day, the mother concubine suddenly forgot about it again, I looked at the mother concubine with a blank face, and almost collapsed, but a few days later, the mother concubine remembered me again, and became the mother concubine who seemed to have nothing happening." ”

"So repeatedly, the mother concubine is tormented painfully between forgetting and remembering a qiē, I see it in my eyes, but I can't do anything about it......" Ye Xici slammed his fists on the table fiercely, the anger and pain in his eyes were like a burning flame, blazing and dangerous. (To be continued.) )
