Chapter 52
After a while, Xuan Lin hurriedly walked in, and Mrs. Xuan greeted her, wanting to touch Xuan Lian's wound, but she didn't dare to touch it. Xuan Xiao said: "Mother, I'm fine, I can grow back after a few more days of rest." ”
Mrs. Xuan said: "You, just be careless, how could you think of saving the star?" Even if she is bitten to death, there will be nothing to lose, so why should you hurt yourself? ”
It was very uncomfortable for me to hear this, but the words that I had endured all kinds of suffering for so many years did not hurt me.
"Mother, don't say that, if it weren't for Yuxing and later killing the white tiger, my life would not have been saved."
"Come in and sit."
The two entered the house, but did not close the door. I fell to the ground and hid in the back of the room to listen.
"Mother, why did you send someone to follow Yuxing? If there's anything you can ask me directly, just ask. ”
"You caught that guy?" Mrs. Xuan asked.
"I ordered him to be killed."
I felt a shock on the rooftop, just because the people who were following the Xuan Mansion ...... But after all, he is a stranger, and if he reveals that Xuan Lin is friendly with a servant girl, it will only be harmful to Xuanfu.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Xuan said, "Since you came to ask me, then the mother will make it clear to you." When she said her name at that time, I knew that she was not thinking simple, she was not just a servant girl, she wanted a lot of things. ”
I heard a chair dragging and it was probably Mrs. Xuan standing up.
"In the early years, Yufu and Xuanfu were friends, and after Yuxing was born, your father and I also set up a baby kiss for Xuankai and Yuxing."
"Huh? Fortunately, she did not marry her brother. Xuan Shi's voice sounded surprised. Not to mention him, I was just as surprised.
"But later something happened to Yufu, if she knew that her father and mother were corrupt and bribed so much, Xuanfu would not have made a relationship with that kind of person. Later, the marriage contract was naturally canceled, and Yuxing disappeared, and the people in Xuanfu thought that Yuxing was dead, and these days I also sent someone to check her experience, the killer, and the maid...... Either of these two identities will ruin the Xuan Mansion, but I didn't expect that now she has an affair with the Xuan Mansion again, or with you," Mrs. Xuan paused, "To tell the truth, Xuan Lonely, I am very disappointed in you in this matter, your father gave birth to your brother's wild seed by fornication with someone in his early years, and I put all my thoughts on you, but now you are contaminated with Yuxing, and my mother's health is not good, and the last time the doctor said that my mother only had a few months left......"
"What?! Mother, why didn't you tell me anything? ”
"I'm not afraid you're worried? What my mother wants to see most is that you can find a girl to marry, my mother has never forced you to marry, if you have half of Xuankai's consciousness, but now, ......
Mrs. Xuan coughed violently, and then it should have been Xuan Shi who got up and handed over the handkerchief...... I was listening, but I saw a servant girl coming, I quickly hid behind a tree next to me, and when I saw that the servant girl had gone away, I continued to lie down to the back of the house and listen.
There was no movement in the room for a while, and it should be Mrs. Xuan who was easing down.
"You can find any of everyone's daughters, whatever you like, but you must not marry Yuxing, you have to remember her identity, she is no longer the daughter of Yufu before, she is just a rough maidservant, a ruthless killer, I don't know why Mrs. Chang will keep her by her side, if it is me, I will definitely cut the grass and eradicate ......"
"Mother, Yuxing is not the kind of person you think, the incident in the capital at that time, it was because she saved me that I didn't forget the poison, if she hadn't helped me block that hidden weapon, I wouldn't have recognized you a long time ago!"
"How do you know if she's deliberately blocking that stab for your benefit?"
"This time, too, if she hadn't killed the White Tiger, I wouldn't have been able to come back to see you! She was also very good to me in the yamen, whether it was going to the hospital to get medicine or changing gauze for me, she was meticulous! ”
"Xuan Lone, don't explain, my mother doesn't believe that such a person who has been in the killer circle for more than ten or twenty years will not have any desire for the interests of your son, and ask your mother to come and see, Yuxing takes care of you because she covets the property of Xuanfu, and her mother does not allow you to mix with a killer, let alone let you marry her! If you want to get married, your mother can spare no effort to arrange a girl from another family for you, as for Yuxing, she has no home at all, she is a girl named Hanako! ”
I sighed lightly, but heard Xuan Lin say: "I know my mother's worries, but I know in my heart, I know what kind of person Yuxing is, I have been in contact with her for a long time, she won't-"
"Silence!" Mrs. Xuan interrupted Xuan Li's words and said angrily, "If you don't comply, my mother will die for you immediately!" ”
After that, I heard the sound of the sword unsheathed, probably Mrs. Xuan pulled out the sword on Xuan Lian's waist, and Xuan Lin shouted, "Mother!" Then came the sound of the sword falling to the ground.
"Mother! Don't be impulsive! I promise you, I'm not going to deal with the stars anymore. ”
"What you said is true?"
"It's true, don't be angry."
After a while, I finally heard the sound of the sword unsheathed, and Mrs. Xuan said: "Mother doesn't blame you, it's good that you can correct it, if your mother still doesn't see you marry a wife in the last days, that's all, it's good that my mother can see you happy." ”
"Mother, don't talk nonsense, the doctor must have misdiagnosed."
"The class that said this is not only a doctor, but my mother also knows it in her heart."
"Mother,......
I quietly left the Xuan Mansion, and I had made the decision to stay away from Xuan Mansion. For Xuan Lone, Mrs. Xuan's last few months of life are all he has, he has lost his father, and he can no longer be filial to his mother. For me, Xuan Lonely can only be regarded as a passerby in my life, it doesn't mean anything, I am a killer, a servant girl, what can I climb?
I returned to Changfu, but I saw Muyang standing at the gate of the mansion. I walked up and asked, "Why don't you go in?" ”
"I'm waiting for you."
"How do you know I'm out?"
"I also know that you went to Xuan Mansion." Mu Yang smiled and looked very comfortable, "Did you go to see Mrs. Xuan?" ”
"Nope."
I walked into the house and motioned for him to come in, Mu Yang followed behind me and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Nothing."
"If there's anything that's hard to solve, you can tell me."
"Nothing. It's just that Xuan Lonely is about to set foot on his way. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to stay away from him, so as not to make Mrs. Xuan angry."
Mu Yang probably didn't understand, and showed a puzzled expression, but he didn't ask again this time. With his intelligence, it should not be difficult to guess what is going on.
Mrs. Chang seemed to be used to my absence, and when she saw me, she was a little surprised, and asked, "You don't take care of Master Xuan anymore?" ”
"He's back home, probably won't be common in the future." I said.
"Why is that?"
"Mrs. Xuan is seriously ill, and he has to take care of Mrs. Xuan."
"That's right...... Then I'll send someone to bring something to the Xuan Mansion to see her." ”
I stopped my wife and said, "Madam, probably people who are seriously ill don't want to see outsiders, so it's better to just let someone send them over." ”
"Then you go and send it, I'll be ready tomorrow."
"I'd better not ......"
"Mrs. Chang, don't worry, I will send it over with Yuxing tomorrow." Mu Yang said suddenly.
I looked at him, he just smiled at me, didn't say anything, Mrs. Chang heard it, and instantly said happily: "It couldn't be better, Mu Gongzi is quite face-saving to go, you can leave after sending something, and people don't want people to know that they are seriously ill." ”
Muyang bowed her head respectfully, Mrs. Chang glanced at me meaningfully, and I hurriedly said, "The slave must serve Madame's concern." ”
Mrs. Chang smiled at me and asked Muyang, "Is there anything wrong with Muyang's visit to Changfu this time?" ”
Muyang arched his hand and said: "This time it is to let Yuxing do a matter of the court, and the younger generation specially came to ask Mrs. for leave for Yuxing." ”
"The affairs of the imperial court? What's going on? ”
Probably something that can't be said casually, Muyang glanced at me and said to Mrs. Chang: "This ...... In short, it's not a bad thing, it's also a task given by the emperor, and I hope Yuxing can be successfully completed. ”
The task given by the emperor? I looked at Muyang with some doubts, but he didn't seem to want to explain at the moment, and Madame was also puzzled, but she didn't ask, just said to me: "Yuxing, if it is a task given by the emperor, you can complete it well, and don't live up to the emperor's respect for you." ”
"I will."
Mrs. Chang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Then you guys should go quickly, it would be better if you could let Chang Mansion shine this time." ”
I wanted to say something more to thank my wife, but I was afraid that the matter was urgent, so I bowed to my wife, and Muyang also said goodbye and took me away.
I was about to ask what was the matter in the carriage, but Mu Yang said, "Don't ask anything first, I don't know what you have to do, it's just that the emperor said he wants to see you." ”
"The emperor wants to see me? But I'm going to go without packing anything, won't-"
"Don't worry, your body is your usual appearance, and the emperor won't care about this. All you have to do is complete the task well and don't let the emperor look down on you. ”
I didn't say anything all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the palace. This is my first time in the palace, and although there are not many people along the way, the majesty of the palace is not comparable to ordinary places.
I stiffened all the way to what hall, I didn't pay attention to it when Mu Yang introduced, in short, it was very big, golden and brilliant, the man in the dragon robe sat in the highest position, Mu Yang pulled me to kneel down and kowtow, I followed, and heard the man's voice not loud but very weighty to say: "Get up." ”
"Yes." Muyang stood up, and I stood up too.
But the next moment, I heard the emperor say, "Muyang, you go out first." ”
I was taken aback, looking at Mu Yang, he must not have expected it, looking at the emperor in some surprise, but who dares not to listen to the emperor's orders, after Mu Yang gave up his hand to the emperor, he looked at me deeply, meaning to let me take care, I nodded slightly, listening to his steps gradually disappear behind me.
"Come here."
The emperor beckoned to me, and I hurried over and stood in front of him with my head bowed.
"Don't be afraid of me. I sent people to keep an eye on your every move, for fear that you would do something harmful to me and the court, but I was wrong, and you didn't want to take revenge at all. ”
I raised my head, stared into the emperor's eyes, and said, "Even if the emperor set up the grass people in a worse place at that time, what could the grass people do?" The grass people can live to this day, thanks to the emperor for leaving the grass people's cheap life, let alone resentment of the emperor and the court. ”
He didn't speak, and I continued: "Besides, the emperor did nothing wrong at that time. ”
The man in front of me, who had passed the age of confusion, stood up, stepped out of his seat, walked to my side, and said: "Now there is a corrupt official living a free life, the place is not far from the capital, I sent you to kill him, and later asked Muyang to send you over." ”
I knew in my heart what that meant. But there are more things I have to get to the place to know if things are not what I thought they were, but whether it was or not, I should not give up this opportunity, whether it was for me or for Xuanfu.
