Chapter 174: Crisis

Xue Jingyue gritted her teeth: "Cousin, you ......"

"What am I?" Xiao Zhanfei was a little anxious, and desperately glanced at her, "You said it yourself, the prince only thinks that you are a friend, a relative, a sister, and he is going to get married, you should congratulate him, it's useless to say more!"

Xue Jingyue was stunned for a moment, and the light in her eyes kept changing! Just when Xiao Zhanfei wanted to continue to persuade, she suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Guyun, cousin, in fact, I also know that this news must be true, because if it is not true, Brother Guyun will never allow it to spread!"

Xiao Zhanfei looked at her with a little guard: "Then you just said those words?"

"I'm just a little reluctant. Xue Jingyue's tears finally flowed, looking pitiful, "I can see that Brother Guyun has always had no intention of being male or female towards me, but I thought again, maybe it was because he was only focused on that matter, and he had no time to take care of love, so he was not too anxious, maybe when his wish was fulfilled, I would be able to see the moon in the clouds." ā€

Because she choked so violently, she had to stop for a while and couldn't cry. Dongling Guyun's originally cold expression was finally melted slightly by her tears, and she sighed slightly and said: "Jingyue, I don't know your intentions, it's just that first, I really don't have any thoughts about the relationship between men and women, and second, I ......."

Xue Jingyue smiled with tears on her face: "Second, I'm not your lover, am I? So even if you get married, the bride won't be me." ā€

Dongling Guyun nodded: "I can't be reluctant to say a word of love, since I have no intention of you, I have to say it to you clearly, otherwise I will harm others and myself." ā€

"Yes, I understand. Xue Jingyue gently wiped away the tears on her face, "Brother Guyun, I was rude to you, don't be angry, I just can't help it." ā€

"I'm not going to be mad at you. There was a rare tenderness in Dongling Guyun's voice, "You have not only helped me, but you have always been my sister, how can my brother be angry with his sister? Even if he is angry, it is for your own good." ā€

"Hmm. Xue Jingyue smiled sweetly with tears in her eyes, "Brother Guyun, I just said that I came for you to get married, but it's not. The reason why I suddenly ran back from Tuanzhou was because I might have been exposed!"

Dongling Guyun frowned, Xiao Zhanfei had already lost his voice and exclaimed: "What did you say?!You mean that someone already knows that you are still alive?!"

Knowing that the situation was serious, Xue Jingyue couldn't care less about crying, nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, it's all because I'm too careless." Because I hid in the house all day and didn't see the light of day, I was so stuffy that I almost went crazy. It happened that the most famous Qinglou Peony Garden in Tuanzhou recruited singing and dancing masters to teach their girls to dance, so I changed my appearance and went to apply, and after being selected, I stayed there for more than a year, and never had any problems. But obviously, I was too negligent. ā€

Xiao Zhanfei's eyes flickered: "Someone recognized your dancing posture and then doubted your identity?"

Before the appearance of Duanmu Youning's pretended "drunken acacia", Xue Jingyue was the undisputed oiran, and also the signboard and cash cow of Yaochi on the clouds. It's no surprise to say that the dance would reveal her identity.

Sure enough, Xue Jingyue nodded ashamedly: "Yes." Not long ago, a few guests went to the peony garden to have fun, and they ordered their top card 'Eye's Charm' and asked her to dance to cheer up. One of them suddenly frowned, saying that she looked very familiar when she danced, so he asked which master taught her, and then invited me to come out to meet her. ā€

"And then he recognized you?" Xiao Zhanfei couldn't help frowning, "Your disguise technique was learned from the prince, even if it can't be called perfect, it won't leak a flaw at once, right?"

"Thanks to Brother Gu Yun's disguise technique," Xue Jingyue smiled bitterly, looking palpitating, "That person naturally felt very strange when he saw me, but he seemed to be very unwilling to keep me for interrogation. Thankfully, I had already prepared a speech, and he couldn't see anything, so he let me go. ā€

Xiao Zhanfei nodded, but he was still a little puzzled: "Since there has been no flaw, he shouldn't know that you are Xue Jingyue, who is no longer alive, could it be that something happened later?"

"Not yet, otherwise how dare I come back and bother you?" Xue Jingyue shook her head, "It's just that you don't know that the person who almost recognized me is Ouyang Xiao!"

As soon as these words came out, Dongling Guyun was really a little surprised: "Ouyang Xiao, did he go to Tuanzhou?"

"Yes," Xue Jingyue nodded, "Although he changed into a civilian clothes, I still recognized him at a glance." You also know that he is not an ordinary character, and if he refuses to give up, I am afraid that it will be easy to be exposed. ā€

The two quickly glanced at each other, and Dongling Guyun then asked: "Ouyang Xiao is now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't you come back to me immediately, are you afraid that he will be more suspicious?"

"Yes!" Xue Jingyue agreed, "He just interrogated me, and I suddenly disappeared, didn't I confess myself?" so I pretended to be casual and continued to teach the girls to dance, and waited until this time to come back to you. ā€

Dongling Guyun groaned, and didn't speak for the time being, but Xiao Zhanfei on the side was extremely uneasy: "Then how did you come back?

"Naturally, I sneaked back," Xue Jingyue was a little surprised, "But before I came, I went to the proprietress of the peony garden and told her that something happened to my hometown and I want to leave temporarily, and I don't know when I will go back." ā€

Xiao Zhanfei thought for a while, and turned his head to look at Dongling Guyun: "Lord Wang, what should you do about this matter?"

Dongling Guyun waved his hand, his eyes flickering slightly. Knowing that he was thinking of a way to deal with it, neither of them dared to speak again, but just waited quietly. This was originally a seamless plan, but the sudden emergence of such a crisis is unexpected.

After a long time, he finally made a decision: "Ouyang Xiao is cunning and cunning, if he really becomes suspicious of Jingyue, he will definitely cause endless troubles. ā€

Xue Jingyue's eyes flashed with faint expectation, and she deliberately asked, "Brother Guyun, are you saying that I can't go back to the Peony Garden?"

"Not only that," Dongling Guyun muttered, "Just in case, you don't want to go to Tuanzhou, I'll arrange another place for you to go." ā€

The anticipation in Xue Jingyue's eyes quickly disappeared, but she nodded with a forced smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go wherever you want me to go." ā€

Dongling Guyun was stunned for a moment, Xiao Zhanfei's eyes had already flashed a trace of unbearability, and he asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, can you let Jingyue stay?" She is a woman, alone and unaccompanied, which is actually quite pitiful. ā€

"Cousin, don't embarrass Brother Guyun. Xue Jingyue hurriedly stopped him from continuing, "Brother Guyun is also doing this for the sake of the overall situation, even if I can't help, how can I drag Brother Guyun back again?

Dongling Guyun pursed his lips, but still shook his head: "But if you can, I don't want Jingyue to suffer outside." But after all, she has a special identity, and if it is known that she is still alive, she is afraid that she will be in big trouble. ā€

Before she finished speaking, Xue Jingyue suddenly coughed softly. In order to cover up, she tried her best to control it, but the cough became more and more violent, causing her face to quickly turn red from breathlessness, and she was in great pain.

Tanglin Guyun frowned: "Jingyue, are you uncomfortable?"

"No, cough, cough!" Xue Jingyue shook her head, but the cough was even more dense. Coughing and coughing, she suddenly opened her mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the side as soon as her body became weak!

"Jingyue!" Xiao Zhanfei was taken aback, and rushed over and hugged her in his arms, "How are you?!How can you vomit blood?!"

...

Tanglin Guyun's brows furrowed even tighter: "Hold her in first, and then go and ask for a doctor!"

Xiao Zhanfei didn't care about saying more, and immediately carried Xue Jingyue into the inner room and put him on the bed, and was just about to turn around and run out, Xue Jingyue had already grabbed him, and his voice was weak: "Cousin, don't! If someone knows about me and I come back from the dead, Brother Guyun will be in trouble!"

"When have you been talking about this?" Donglin Guyun scolded softly, "No matter how big the trouble is, it's better than losing your life!"

Because of his undisguised worry, Xue Jingyue's face was full of gratitude, and she smiled slightly and said, "I'm really fine, Brother Guyun, you don't have to worry." I just grew up in Imperial Capital and got used to the climate here. At first, I just felt dry mouth, dry eyes, dry skin, after a long time, I felt chest tightness, wheezing, and I couldn't breathe after a little activity, and recently I started to cough again, sometimes I would vomit blood when I coughed badly, cough cough!"

After talking too much in one breath, her breath began to grow rapid again, and she coughed again. The clothes on his chest were soon splattered with spocks of blood.

Tanglin Guyun was very angry, and the scolding became louder: "You are all sick like this, why didn't you tell me earlier? Didn't you reply before that you were all right? It turned out that they were all lying to me?"

"I—I just don't want to distract you, I'm sorry. Xue Jingyue sniffed aggrievedly, and finally stopped coughing, "I asked the doctor to see it in Tuanzhou, and the doctor said ......."

Tanglin Guyun frowned: "What did you say?"

Xue Jingyue lowered her eyelids: "It is said that my body is already in an extremely dry state, if I don't change to live in a warm climate, I will cough more and more, and sooner or later my lungs will be broken." ā€

Tanglin Guyun was stunned again, completely unaware that the matter was so serious. Without waiting for him to speak, Xue Jingyue had already continued: "So when I came back this time, in addition to worrying about being recognized, I also wanted you to help me choose a place with a climate similar to that of Dijing City, Brother Guyun, is it okay?"
