Chapter 41-1: Ishiide (I)
He stood still. If he didn't know what I wanted to do, he was really a nerd, he lowered his eyelids, didn't move, didn't speak, just fell silent. I was so sure that he was the Ghostface, the mysterious knight who came to my rescue whenever I was in danger. What is it that keeps an eye on my actions and saves me from danger? Since he gave up on me in the first place, why should he care about my life and death? An Yuanxi, An Yuanxi, what are you thinking?
"Your wounds...... What do you think? "I pressed the waves in my heart, looking at his pale face, he had shed so much blood, and I didn't know how he rushed back to the capital overnight, pretending to be the second young master of the Yun family who was dressed in bright clothes casually, that injury, can you take good care of it?
He was still silent, unable to deny or admit it, and when I saw him like this, I knew that I couldn't ask anything from his mouth, but after all, I was unwilling: "Are you supposed to have something to say to me?" ”
Regarding his martial arts, his relationship with Duan Zhiyi's brother and sister, and why he can always know my actions, they are all mysteries in my heart. He has done so many things behind his back, and he has helped me so much secretly, I can peel back the layers of the truth about the fall of Yun Zheng back then, and now that I think about it, it seems that it always has to be due to the secret help of people, when I want to know something, someone always comes out to solve my doubts, just like this sudden Duan Zhiyi. I was secretly shocked in my heart, did he already know the truth about Kira's unjust death back then?
His eyelashes trembled, and he was finally willing to raise his eyes to look at me, but after a while, he could only say, "I have nothing to say." ”
There is nothing to say. It's good to say nothing. My hands were on both sides of the wheelchair, and I suddenly grabbed the armrests, and after a while, I slowly let go, and smiled indifferently: "I'm fine, please ask Uncle to let Xiaohong push me back." ”
He looked at me for a moment, without saying a word, turned around, his figure moved, and I whispered: "Far away......"
This is the first time I've called his name since we reunited. His body froze, frozen in place, I looked at his back, and there was a hint of weakness in my voice: "Why did you leave me in the first place?" "It's a thorn in my heart, and no matter how much I ignore it, it still sticks to my heart. An Yuanxi, since you are ruthless to me, why do you bother to help me everywhere? If you have affection for me, why should you give up on me? If I hadn't met Yun Zheng, I might never have believed that there was still true love in this world. You hurt me so much, I have always been afraid to ask the reason like an ostrich, and to this day, you should always give me a reason.
His body trembled, and he froze in place, not making a sound, nor looking back. In the middle of the night, he stepped out of the Lake Pavilion and walked forward, his back as decisive as when he said goodbye to me in the Fence Fang Courtyard. I closed my eyes and laughed lightly, I couldn't let him let go of the secrets in his heart when I was sincere to him, how could I be satisfied that I was just unwilling to know the truth, or I would stop asking in the future.
Xiaohong hurriedly pushed me back, had lunch, and learned that King Jing had already taken his leave, so I asked Xiaohong to push me to see the old man. Yunde helped Xiaohong carry me into the house with the wheelchair, and when I entered the door, I saw the old man lying on the recliner, coughing badly, and quickly asked Xiaohong to push me over: "Grandpa, how are you?" ”
The old man coughed so much that he couldn't speak, Xiaohong hurriedly poured a glass of water for the old man, Yun De raised the recliner a little higher, helped the old man up, and I handed the teacup to the old man's lips: "Grandpa, drink saliva and moisten your throat." ”
The old man took a sip of warm water, and in the next second, a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted into the teacup, staining the water in the cup with blood, and I was shocked: "Grandpa!" Quickly removed the cup, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on his lips, and said to Yun De: "Quick, go to the Tai Hospital, and ask the Tai Doctor to show Grandpa......
"Yun De......" The old man called Yun De, who was rushing out in a hurry, "No need." ”
"Grandpa!" I was anxious and panicked, "You're coughing up blood, why don't you let the doctor ......?"
"Girl......" The old man patted my hand and smiled tiredly, "I'm fine, I have something to say to you, everyone else should go out." ”
Xiaohong and Yunde exited the room, I grabbed the old man's hand, worried: "Grandpa...... "The old man has a bad heart, his body is getting worse and worse, I know it in my heart, but I have never coughed up blood, in my impression, in ancient times, whenever he was sick and coughed up blood, there was no way to live, but the old man was the pillar of the Yun family, and he couldn't have anything if something happened to him, otherwise I don't know what the Hou Mansion would become."
"Girl, tell me about your situation first." The old man closed his eyes and said softly. I pressed the worry in my heart, and started talking about going to the palace to find the emperor, and the queen mother to borrow money from the Yun family, until the Taimiao met Maha, I was taken captive with the Dark Flame, and I woke up in the cave and saw it, until Ghost Face and Duan Zhiyi rushed to fight with Maha, and finally eliminated Maha, and the cave collapsed and rushed back to the Hou Mansion. The old man listened expressionlessly, and there were a few times when I thought he was asleep, but as soon as I stopped, the old man said softly, "Go on." "After talking about my experience in the past two days, I hesitated for a moment about the fact that I just found out that An Yuanxi is a ghost-faced person, but I don't know how to tell the old man.
After listening to this, the old man was silent for a long time, I looked at his face with his eyes closed, and was a little worried: "Grandpa, I couldn't figure out who the person behind Maha is, I'm sorry." ”
The old man opened his eyes, looked at me and smiled: "You have done your best, this time you almost lost your life, it was the Yun family who wronged you." ”
I shook my head with tears in my eyes: "It's Ye Er who is useless, and I can't even find out who hurt Yun Zheng." ”
"The Yun family has not been able to find out for so many years, how can I blame you." The old man coughed, his eyes were as cold as frost, "But now, I have some eyebrows." ”
"Does Grandpa know who that man is?" I looked at him in amazement. The old man looked at me, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his lips: "Ye girl, King Jing came to see me today, do you know why he came?" ”
I shook my head, suspicious in my heart, the old man asked me like this, could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is related to King Jing? The old man said slowly: "There are rumors in the capital that the emperor used the artifact in vain and caused an earthquake, which is a sign that the heavens are angry and wants to condemn the world. The imperial court issued a decree to the world, saying that the emperor dreamed of Emperor Taizu's divine revelation and knew that there was an earthquake, so he made a special trip to Taimiao to pray for the blessings of the people of the world, and the people's turmoil was temporarily suppressed, but the doubts of the court did not stop. The old man paused, and said: "Now that the Taimiao is under martial law for ten miles by the Yulin Army, and it is strictly forbidden for officials from the court to go to disturb me, King Jing came to me, saying that when he heard these rumors, he was very worried about the emperor's current situation, and he was afraid that the emperor would really use the artifact, and wanted to invite a few respected ministers to go to the Taimiao to confirm that the emperor and the artifact were all right." ”
It sounds like King Jing's visit is reasonable and not inappropriate, and with the consistent benevolence of His Royal Highness King Jing, standing up when encountering this kind of thing is also in line with his usual style. I frowned and said, "How can there be such rumors in Beijing?" The earthquake, is it really caused by the emperor's reckless use of the artifact? "If it is true, then the emperor can be said to have the foresight to know that the reckless use of the artifact to cause an earthquake will cause panic among the people, so he first made up a lie about going to the Taimiao Temple to pray for blessings, and specially asked to wait for him to leave before announcing the world, just to stabilize the people's hearts after the earthquake.
"It is really possible that the earthquake was caused by the reckless use of the artifact, but this rumor came from a strange source, and I am afraid that someone is secretly spreading it." The old man nodded. My heart moved: "Grandpa means, this (to be continued)
