"Childe, childe, Miss Xiuxiu is here." The old mother of Wanhuafang twisted her fat body and approached Beiliuyun, who was sleeping, and called out in what she thought was a gentle and delicate voice.

Beiliuyun rubbed his ears, he was woken up by this rough voice, he was already in an irritable mood, and now he was even more displeased, staring at the old mother with an angry face, and the burning flames in his eyes made the old mother tremble, retreated, slowed down his voice and wrung his handkerchief: "Gong, Gongzi, it's Xiuxiu, Dongfang Xiu." ”

"Oh, come in." I didn't bother to pay attention to how this old woman entered his room, and when he heard Dongfang Xiu coming, he was still a little surprised, as soon as the last incident came out, he felt sorry for her, and she almost lost her life, but how did she come back from the other courtyard? Could it be—

"Childe." As soon as Dongfang Xiu entered the door, she knelt on the ground, she usually likes to wear flamboyant red, but today she only wears a plain white shirt, her face is very bad, plus the previous incident, her body is also thinner, the breeze floats, and her thin body is shaking in the wind.

Beiliuyun just woke up, and the place where Dongfang Xiu knelt happened to be backlit, he was dazzling for a while, coupled with his thoughts and worries, he looked at it for a while, and said affectionately: "Evening song? ”

Dongfang Xiumeng's body was shocked, and he leaned down again to bow, and his voice was as weak as his appearance: "Childe, I'm Xiuxiu." ”

"Oh, Xiuxiu, come, get up, what are you doing on your knees, it's cold on the ground, your body is just right, why did you come back suddenly, do you know now-" He suddenly realized that he was stunned, and hurriedly got up to help Dongfang Xiu, he now just hoped that Dongfang Xiu didn't hear what he just said.

"Childe-" Dongfang Xiu couldn't afford it, but she cried as if she had been wronged, and tightly grabbed Beiliuyun's hand to help her up: "Childe, I don't know, I did those wrong things, the emperor couldn't tolerate me for a long time, and there were waves of people who went to the other courtyard to assassinate me, I-" raised his head, and looked like a pear blossom with rain.

Beiliu Yunzi also knows these things, but there have been a lot of things in the imperial capital recently, Dongfang Xiu still cares less, seeing her like this, he is also extremely distressed, and he forgot what to ask for a while, he thought, Dongfang Xiu must have suffered some grievances and pain, so he is so uncomfortable. didn't have to think about it, he directly picked up Dongfang Xiu and walked to the bed in the inner room, put her on the bed, and took her hand: "Xiuxiu, don't be afraid, I will protect you." You haven't said why you didn't stay in the other courtyard, knowing that the imperial capital was dangerous, what did you come back to do? ”

"Childe, I'm afraid of those who assassinate, but I'm even more afraid of Childe alone. Childe protects Xiuxiu, and conversely, Xiuxiu can also protect Childe by Childe's side. ”

"Silly girl, I don't need your protection." Bei Liuyun was still a little moved, and rubbed Dongfang Xiu's hair.

Dongfang Xiu's heart twisted, she knew that Childe treated her like this because he pitied her, the person in Childe's heart was still Lou Wange, and no one could replace it, but even if this concern was fake, she would rather bear it. "Childe, it's all to blame on Xiuxiu, if Xiuxiu hadn't done those things, she wouldn't have been locked up by Childe, and she wouldn't have been tortured by Jin Ying. Now, it won't be this embarrassment. ”

Hearing "that incident", Beiliuyun's face that was originally full of concern instantly became cold, and he got up and turned his back to Dongfang Xiu, as if he thought of something and asked, "You came back from the other courtyard, what about the golden warbler?" You came back, but what did the man give you a task? Who are you going to deal with this time? He asked, but he didn't dare to look at Dongfang Xiu's eyes, and he had already heard that Jin Ying was missing, Jin Ying and Dongfang Xiu were his right-hand men, in fact, Jin Ying was better controlled, if it weren't for this one, Jin Ying could be more reused, and the sudden disappearance must be related to Dongfang Xiu.

Dongfang Xiu's face was full of shock, she lowered her head and shed tears, she could hear that Bei Liuyun was still suspicious of her and didn't believe her, or felt that she was helping others. Coupled with Bei Liuyun's attitude towards her when mentioning "that incident", she cried and cried, and she laughed self-deprecatingly.

Hearing Dongfang Xiu crying, Bei Liuyun relented again, but when he heard her laughing again, he felt weird, thinking that he had scared her, and subconsciously eased his tone: "Then what is the purpose of your return to the imperial capital?" You know that the emperor is not safe. And during the time you woke up, did those people arrange anything for you before? ”

"Childe, Jin Ying, she united with those who assassinated me and wanted to take my life, I struggled desperately but I couldn't beat her, so I came back to the imperial capital to find you, I was worried about you, but you doubted me? After the incident in Hanxue Pavilion, I didn't contact those people again, and I had already dissociated myself from them, so why did Childe question me like this again? She cried even more, explaining as she cried, but when she wiped her tears, she deliberately slipped off her clothes and exposed the scars on her arms.

Beiliuyun saw the scar at a glance, three times, and the road went to the bone, when he checked her injury a few days ago, he didn't have the scar, he didn't have time to doubt it anymore, so he hurriedly grabbed her arm and asked, "Who did it?" But Jin Ying has abused you again? ”

Dongfang Xiu didn't answer, only nodded slightly, and covered the ugly scar with his sleeve, as if he had all kinds of grievances: "Gongzi Mingjian, I originally wanted to reconcile with Sister Jin Ying, although she did those things to me, but I remember that she is the same person as me, and has always taken good care of Gongzi, so the suffering I suffered from her is nothing." But, I didn't expect her—"

Beiliuyun's brows were tightly wrinkled together, his eyes were full of pity, and in order to comfort Dongfang Xiu, he hugged her tightly in his arms: "Xiuxiu, don't be afraid—"

"I thought that after what happened last time, Jin Ying would learn a lesson, but she pretended to repent when you didn't leave the courtyard, but as soon as you left, she saved me from my serious injuries and continued to bully me, this scar, I couldn't resist and was caught by her, and then she was lax in her care, so that the assassins had an opportunity to assassinate me, and the assassination attempt failed, and Jin Ying disappeared with those assassins. I think that Jin Ying must have rebelled with the Assassins a long time ago, because she, the people in the Red Whisk who secretly protected me, lost their lives. ”

Beiliuyun comforted Dongfang Xiu, who was trembling all over, and thought about it in his heart: Jin Ying he knew, it was the person he had always brought with him, he knew her best as a person, although she was impulsive and arrogant, but she was a person who knew right and wrong, and she would never collude with the assassin, and he was already suspicious of Dongfang Xiu's injury, after all, it was Dongfang Xiu's betrayal first. Coupled with the matter of the Wenguan, he still didn't believe in Dongfang Xiu, so he kept leaving her in the other courtyard - patting Dongfang Xiu on the shoulder, he got up: "Okay, okay, I know, let me Xiuxiu suffer, I will send someone to catch Jin Ying back and ask for clarification, don't worry." ”

"Childe!" Dongfang Xiuzi was dissatisfied with his way of dealing with it, Jin Ying had to get rid of this person, otherwise-"Childe, Jin Ying has done so many things to me, do you still think she should continue to stay?" Bring her back, she is even more unrelenting, maybe I will be tortured by her a thousand times in the future, in this case, it is better to fulfill her wish now. Saying that, Dongfang Xiu became emotional, and the injury was not healed, so his blood was churning for a while, and he rolled under the bed and vomited two mouthfuls of blood.

Beiliuyun clenched his fists, his mind was in a mess now, he was not a fool, Jin Ying and Dongfang Xiu had been fighting each other for a long time, but over the years, Jin Ying had always done things in a measured manner, the last time Wanhuafang was in prison, he was already suspicious, asked Jin Ying to take care of Dongfang Xiu, how could Jin Ying torture her to that point? Or is it under his nose, if he had been with others earlier, how could he only target Dongfang Xiu? And when she was interrogated in the other courtyard, Jin Ying's attitude didn't seem like pretending.

Looking at the weak and painful person in front of him, he was also distressed, but what Dongfang Xiu did was real, and she didn't want to say who those people were, so how could he trust her?

He can choose to forget, choose to tolerate and protect, but trust has long broken a rift between the two, but it can't be repaired.

Seeing that Beiliuyun was indifferent, Dongfang Xiu's heart sank, broke a porcelain cup nearby, held the cold and sharp fragment close to his neck, and roared in pain: "Childe, to put it bluntly, you still don't want to believe me, you would rather believe that Jin Ying, that slut, then what's the point of me living, anyway, Childe thinks I'm still deceiving people, or helping others." I'm just a wretched guy who lets people slaughter me now, and no one believes me anymore! ”

Beiliuyun stared at the fragment, for fear that it would pierce Dongfang Xiu's neck an inch, and he was at a loss, and he couldn't think about anything else: "You, you put it down, what can you say slowly, I know, it's Jin Ying's fault, it's her sorry for you, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't doubt you, I, I-"

As he spoke, he turned around and summoned outside, and a figure entered the room, and Beiliuyun hurriedly said to the man: "Go, hurry up, find out the golden warbler for me, find it and kill it directly, I only see the corpse." ”

"Yes." Another puff of smoke vanished.

"Xiuxiu, now you can rest assured, Jin Ying bullied you, I will help you teach her a good lesson, you put it down quickly, be careful of hurting." He spoke very carefully and gently, and it could be seen that he was worried.

Looking at his reaction, Dongfang Xiu was fascinated for a while, when did Beiliuyun care so much about her? The last time I saw him look so nervous and at a loss, it was when Lou Wange had a blood spirit attack.

It turns out that she, maybe in Beiliuyun's heart, is it more important?

Shaking his head, he smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that it was just his own wishful thinking, and looked at Beiliuyun in despair and said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to others, I was threatened by others, and I did those things, just to get free and free and be with your son, it's all my fault, I'm a bad person, I'm heinous, so that now you don't believe me, you must hate me very much, you save me just pity me, right?" I'm not worth it, I'm not worth it-"

There was another burst of pear blossoms and rain, Beiliuyun took the opportunity to snatch the fragments in her hand, carried her back to the bed, carefully wiped her tears and sweat for her, and changed back to that cold appearance, without saying a word.

"Childe-"

"Sleep, don't think about it so much." After covering her with the quilt, he walked out of the room full of concern.

Looking at the figure of Beiliuyun leaving, Dongfang Xiu sat up, brushed off his sleeves and looked at the three scars, thinking about how ruthless he had to be to stay by his side for a good reason to be able to treat himself like this, just to let him get rid of Jin Ying for her. If Jin Ying doesn't die, her status in Beiliuyun will be lost, and her trust will be gone. And this is a stumbling block that must be removed in order to regain the position of the Red Whisk Girl - suddenly he thought of what Beiliuyun asked her, why did he still suspect her of doing things for Haimi? What's going on?
