Prequel. Chapter Twenty-One: The First Time I Heard Zhen'er

"Tell me, where did you go yesterday?"

Back in the house, Mu Jing looked at me with a smile on his face, looking like he was about to be tortured.

I was torn in my heart, since he asked, I must have to say it, otherwise he would definitely tell my father and mother about it. I can say, but I don't finish, after all, he also has a part in my amnesia at that time, and if he feels sorry for me, then he should help me keep it a secret.

"Yesterday, I went to the Peach Blossom Forest, and I heard people say that if you jump off the Lake of Forgetfulness, you can forget everything you want to forget, so I just..."

"You went to the Lake of Forgetfulness?"

He interrupted me before I could finish speaking, and suddenly looked extremely nervous, could it be that what Ling Gongzi said was true? The legend of the Lake of Forgetfulness is fake, and if you jump down, you will die?

"I was about to jump down to see it, but on the way, I was rescued, and we fell into a cave together, because it was dark and we couldn't find our way back, so we stayed in the cave for the night."

I told everything and everything, for the sake of my sincerity, probably he would have hidden it for me.

"Who's that guy?"

He put away the tension that had just been there, but suddenly it became extremely serious, and my nerves tensed up at the look he was so frightened. The last time I saw him like this, it was the night before Brother Yun left, he quarreled with his mother, at that time he was so angry that he smashed everything in the house, I didn't see what martial arts he used, I only remember that the entire bamboo tree in front of the house broke and collapsed in an instant when he went out.

It was also the only time he had an argument with his mother, because they had grown up together, his mother was a few years older than him, and he had always treated his mother as if she were his own sister, and he hardly had any quarrels with his mother.

Because of that incident, I also believe that Mu Jing is the same as me, and he really thinks that Brother Yun is good and really likes him.

But now that he showed such a look again because of what I had just said, I was a little scared, no, I would be like that piece of bamboo, and it would disappear in an instant.

"I'm asking you, what are you thinking?"

My hands shook in fright, and I couldn't think of what to answer him for a moment. After all, I don't know anything about the person's identity and origin, how to tell him.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. The cloak you just held in your hand belongs to the man, take it and throw it away, your mother will come over at night, and it is not good for her to see it. ”

That's gone?

Don't continue to ask?

How is it like this?

"Wait a minute." I stopped him as he was out the door.

He turned his head and looked at me in surprise: "What's wrong?" What else? ”

I thought about it, but I still said what I had to say.

"I'll ask you for one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't come back all night yesterday, don't tell anyone about it."

"Huh." He chuckled, I saw that his serious expression was no longer there, and I breathed a deep sigh of relief in my heart, I still like such a chic and uninhibited Mujing.

"If you want me to keep it a secret for you, do you have to tell me who that person is first?"

I sighed again and again in my heart, and when I said it, I didn't have to force me to say it, and I still acted like I didn't care. Oh, I won't say it today, I won't tell you, otherwise it won't be one more secret that you can threaten me in the future. Although, it doesn't make much difference if he didn't say that person, but he himself said it yesterday, he didn't even remember him, he didn't even tell me his name, probably just felt that he met me Pingshui, and it was fate to save him, and he didn't want to ask for anything in return, and he didn't want one more person to know his identity.

"If you don't say yes, forget it."

"I'm tired and want to take a break."

When I was about to leave, he grabbed me again and said, "Hey, don't, don't be angry." ”

I knew his character very well, so I continued to ask him, "Then will you agree?" ”

He shook his head, and finally said, "Okay, yes, yes, yes." ”

I really felt a little unwell yesterday, but I came back to sleep and slept well, and it was already evening when I woke up.

When I woke up, only Yuyin was in the house, and I heard her say that her mother had arrived and was talking in Mujing's house. I hurriedly took out the cloak and told Yuyin to mix it with my things, so as not to let others find out, and hurriedly changed my clothes, combed my hair, and went out.

It was still a little cold, and there was still some wind outside, and the sound of whirring and whirring could not be heard on the leaves.

When I got to the door, I wanted to knock on the door and go in, but I suddenly thought of a bad idea in my heart, what are my mother and Mu Jing usually like, what will they say, should I listen to it. Anyway, they won't have any secrets, at most they are nagging about homely things, and if I listen to it, it's probably nothing.

Thinking like this, I secretly took a few more steps, the door was closed, and I couldn't see anything, but the sound insulation of this door was not very good, as long as I could hear the sound.

"I haven't been here for a long time, and after so many years, it hasn't changed at all."

It was indeed the voice of the mother.

"It's the same, but it's a pity that things have long been different."

"Zhen'er made that choice at the beginning, maybe because of the last resort."

Zhen'er? Who is Vera?

Yes, I remember that Mu Jing's flute was engraved with the word "Zhen".

"When she parted ways with me, she kept saying that she wanted me not to interfere for the sake of the Jade Sect."

For the sake of the Jade Cult? That Zhen'er, is that the woman Mu Jing has been thinking about all along? He didn't tell me that the man was still alive and that I would see her.

It's just that, how could that person have anything to do with the Jade Sect, I heard a little about the Jade Sect before, because His Majesty has had an entanglement with the Jade Sect, and no one knows the specific situation, and then His Majesty issued an order that no one is allowed to talk about the Jade Sect, and the Jade Sect is in Beiliang, so no one dares to say it.

"That's her obsession, and she can't let go."

It seemed that Mu Jing sighed for a long time, and then said slowly: "If it is really for the Jade Immortal Sect, she will not only go this way, I would rather believe that she is for Ah Li." ”

"He is here to protect King Chen, that is Ah Li's own flesh and blood, she will not let him be harmed."

The more I listen, the more confused I become, King Chen? How mother, do they have anything to do with King Chen? Why have I never heard them talk about it, and even at that time, my mother knew that the concubine wanted to promise me to King Chen, and she didn't say anything?

Ali's own flesh and blood? Who is Ali? Could it be that he is talking about the biological mother of King Chen? King Chen is not the concubine's biological I know, the concubine is just his adoptive mother, about his biological mother, almost no one has mentioned it, I heard Sister Wan say before, it is His Majesty who doesn't like his biological mother, and he is from a humble background, so he ordered that no one else should mention it.

But listening to what my mother just said, that Ali is King Chen's biological mother, and they all know this person from their mothers, so what is the relationship between their mother and her, and King Chen, that Zhen'er is protecting King Chen? So, into the palace? But in this palace, there is only the concubine who has anything to do with King Chen, is it the concubine Huixian? So this is why the concubine Niangniang, who is loved by thousands of people, chose to raise a child that His Majesty hates the most, because she entered the palace to take care of King Chen?

If this is the case, then the person Mu Jing likes is the most favored concubine Huixian today, and he actually covets the emperor's woman...

No, that's probably just my guess.

"I heard that she personally proposed to Lou Yuxun to let Xiao Yan marry..."

"Miss, why are you outside the door?"

Before Mu Jing finished speaking, Yuyin suddenly walked over, and heard the sound of approaching footsteps inside, someone came to open the door.

"You'er, why are you here?"

My mother asked me as she pushed the door open.

In this situation, being stared at like this by three people, it's really... It's really embarrassing.

"I, I didn't do anything, I just passed by here... When he was about to knock on the door, Yuyin came. ”

Lying is really not my specialty, and when I say this, even I think this explanation is too fake. I don't know if it's because I've been standing in the wind for too long, but at this moment, I feel a little dizzy, and my heart hurts again.

"You'er, are you alright?"

My mother saw that something was wrong with me, and hurriedly approached and held my hand, which must have been a little cold, and felt that my mother's hands were too warm.

It's just that I'm really dizzy, it's very uncomfortable, and my heart hurts.

"Ahh Miss. ”

When I was about to fall, Yuyin came over in time to catch me. The eyelids already felt very heavy, and I just wanted to close my eyes and lie down, seeing Mu Jing walking over quickly, holding me while pinching my pulse with the other hand, and said, "Xiao Yan, let me cut the pulse." ”

Mu Jing has been treating my illness since I was a child, and he is a skilled doctor and knows my illness well, but it should be my mother's explanation, he will never say what kind of disease I am, I have used many clichΓ©s, and he has never been fooled, so that I have been sick for so many years, but I don't know what kind of disease I am.

He cut the pulse, and his expression became solemn, but it only disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly smiled at me and said, "It's no big deal, I'll go prescribe medicine and go back to the capital to get medicine." ”

I could see that he deliberately said it so lightly, how weak my own body was, I didn't know it myself, I had already guessed what it must be an incurable disease, so they refused to tell me, they didn't want me to know that I was not doing well in the future, and I was worried every day.

But I know in my heart that it's not just me, it's not just me, the entire capital of Nanyue, who doesn't know when it comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, that second lady is just a sick man, and she can't be cured by many doctors, I'm afraid I don't know when I will die in Huangquan. Yes, even I think so myself, there are too many worries recently, and my body is getting more and more sick, maybe when I will return to the West, even I don't know how long I have left, how dare I ask for extravagance, and I can find someone who truly loves me and will not dislike myself.

The only person in this world who wouldn't mind, he's gone.

"Xiao Yan, I don't mind how bad your health is, what kind of disease you have, even if you have to die tomorrow, I will always be by your side on the last day of your life."

When I fell into a coma, what came to my mind was what Brother Yun had said to me.
