Chapter Seventy-Eight: Tell Me
Zhuo Lengyan paused, then raised his eyes and said, "You went out by yourself today, do you feel okay now?" β
"It's good." Xiuzi said patiently, but when he saw Zhuo Lengyan's expression, it seemed that it was not the same as when he treated him in the past.
"Yes......" Zhuo Lengyan narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips and suddenly spoke: "You know about Miss and Rong Xian's going out today, right?" β
After listening to Xiu Ziqi, the hand on his side suddenly shook intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were calm, and he nodded after a while: "Indeed, Gongzi mentioned it to me and said that he wanted to go out alone with the princess." β
"Then there is an assassin who wants to assassinate Miss, and Rong Xi was seriously injured in order to save Miss, do you know about it again?" Zhuo Lengyan took a breath and asked again.
Xiuzi's expression seemed to be beginning to change, at least in Zhuo Lengyan's eyes, Xiuzi's appearance looked like he was shocked all of a sudden.
"You said Childe was seriously injured?" Xiu Ziqi said so.
Zhuo Lengyan's eyes moved slightly, she looked directly at Xiuzi Qi, and then spoke: "Yes, Rong Xi was seriously injured, but he has been rescued, and he is still in a coma, but he should be free of worries, and Miss is also accompanying him, you don't have to worry." β
"No, I'll have to go over again." Xiuzi said with a frown.
Zhuo Lengyan saw Xiu Ziqi turn around to leave, so he quickly added, "Yes, you are going to go over, Miss She is looking for you, I originally wanted to come and talk to you, since you are ready to go over, it is just right." β
Halfway through the cultivation period, he paused, and looked at Zhuo Lengyan sideways, "The son is seriously injured, and the princess takes it for granted." β
"As it should be...... yes, rightfully so. Zhuo Lengyan lowered his eyes and nodded, and then said to Xiu Ziqi: "You went out to sharpen your sword, and now you finally got it back, it's too tiring to walk back and forth." Why don't you give me the sword and I'll put it back in your house?" β
Xiuzi felt that his hand on the hilt of the sword stiffened slightly, and he didn't respond for a while.
Just when Zhuo Lengyan felt that Xiu Ziqi would not answer, she saw a sword suddenly horizontal in front of her, and a hand was grasping the center of the sword body.
It was Xiu Ziqi who untied his sword from his side and handed it to Zhuo Lengyan.
Zhuo Lengyan's eyes deepened, but he took the sword without hesitation, and then said calmly: "You go over." β
Xiu Ziqi nodded, and then turned back from the direction he had originally walked.
At this moment, not only Zhuo Lengyan had an epiphany. Just when Zhuo Lengyan opened his mouth to say that Yu Ran asked Xiu Zi Qi to pass, Xiu Zi Qi also reacted, he thought that he knew the reason why Yu Ran asked him to go over.
Xiuzi saw Zhuo Lengyan's every word and deed in his eyes, and that woman was the person he had taken care of for nearly half a year. In Anguo's Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no Rong Xi to accompany her, and it was he who was instructed to stay by her side during the cultivation period.
Xiuzi couldn't tell what kind of emotions he had for Zhuo Lengyan, but he was sure that he was not hostile to Zhuo Lengyan, or that he still had a good impression.
Because except for Zhuo Lengyan, there is no one whose eyes can be so pure that there is only his existence.
In fact, when Xiuzi received Rong Xi's order to accompany Yuran by his side, he thought about what Yuran's attitude would be towards him in the following days. Yuran is a person who is very similar to Rong Xian, so even if Yuran's temperament is strange and casual, it is all understandable and acceptable to him.
But as the days went by, Xiuzi found that it seemed that this "jade dye" seemed to be different from the jade dye he thought in the past, and he couldn't tell what it felt. They look exactly the same, and their movements are almost the same.
Could it be that it's just because Rong Xi isn't by her side?
When Xiuzi saw a woman every day, the first thing he did was to greet her, and then he followed Rong Xi's orders to watch her actions. And the first thing the woman did when she saw him coming every day was to smile at him casually. This smile seemed to be a little different from the look that seemed to be smiling from Yuran's face in the past, but he didn't care.
Gradually, the woman seemed to behave more and more casually in front of him, as if she had become accustomed to him as her original entourage.
Even in the end, every time Xiu Zi Qi saw the woman put down the book in her hand and walked up to him and smiled at him, Xiu Zi Qi would instantly react to what she was going to say.
Sure enough, the woman's next sentence was, "I want to go out for a walk, will you accompany me?" β
What can the Xiuzi period answer? Naturally, the answer is good.
Then, as soon as he responded, he could immediately see a satisfied smile on the woman's face. The woman's eyes were not shining, and sometimes there was a haze, but she still looked at him, and she looked at herself earnestly, and was glad at his response.
I don't know why, there is a slight abnormality in the heart of the cultivation period.
It wasn't until there was one thing later that made his heart suddenly feel clear and frightened. It was one time when he was walking down the street with the woman, and the woman didn't know what the lantern was, so he accompanied her to put it by the river.
He knew that the woman's heart was happy, because she smiled at herself very brightly, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her smile was very good. However, in a trance, he felt as if he had seen another face overlapping with her through the face of "Jade Dye".
This point, it was only now that the Xiuzi period finally got the answer, and he only reacted, in fact, even if Zhuo Lengyan pretended to be jade-dyed and pretended, it was not a person after all, so it made him have a strange sense of disobedience.
It's just that at that time, he saw the woman standing outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, suddenly stopped, turned back to himself, and then smiled happily, he heard her say to himself: "I see that you are boring to follow Rong Xi on weekdays, next time, I will take you out, or maybe I said the opposite, it should be you who led the way for me, what do you think?" β
This sentence made him freeze there.
He watched the woman walk towards the house, but he didn't move.
Because at that moment, he suddenly found that he seemed to like one, and that person was the person his son-in-law liked.
As the days passed, more and more things happened, and they went round and round until they came to this point. Xiuzi finally learned that Zhuo Lengyan was the person he was accompanying at that time, and the "jade dye" he thought he liked was actually Zhuo Lengyan.
Xiuzi didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or continue to be dull and nervous.
Because in retrospect, he really didn't feel anything to be happy about.
He actually saw that Zhuo Lengyan still had all his feelings for him, so he went to save him, so he hesitated again and again. But what could he do?
Xiuzi felt that this was probably the biggest test for him in this world.
He didn't understand what could make someone like Rong Xian hesitate to that point, but now, Xiu Ziqi felt that he understood a little.
Because there are still emotions, it is difficult to choose.
There are many paths, it can only depend on how you choose, or directly let others help you get rid of the pain and help you choose.
So this time, Xiuzi also made a decision because of one thing, and this decision made Rong Xian seriously injured and almost lost his life, which made Zhuo Lengyan hesitate for this, and also caused him to have to stand in front of Yu Ran now, watching Yu Ran be silent to himself, and watching Rong Xian still fall asleep on the bed.
Jade Ran closed her eyes, her fingertips sweeping over Rong Xian's cheeks and down to his neck. Then Tamarin sighed, as if intentionally or unconsciously, withdrew her hand and looked back at the person standing in front of her.
"Leng Yan said that your body has just recovered almost, are you feeling okay now?" Tamaran still asked gently.
Xiuzi immediately responded: "I already feel that it is okay." β
"Really?" Yuran nodded, her expression was calm, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, she raised her eyes and looked deeply at Xiuzi, and only said after a while: "You have been by Rong Xian's side since you were a child, when I first met you, I was just a small child, I thought you were a very reliable person, a person who would be loyal to Rong Xian." I thought I could still think like that, what do you think? β
When Xiuzi heard this, he was silent and did not answer.
Seeing this scene, Yu Ran was also slightly silent for a while, and then continued: "Hua Jun's order is for you to bring Rong Xi back immediately, if Rong Xi hesitates because of my existence, then I want you to kill me." Because you are the one who has accompanied Rong Xi since childhood, he thinks that if you do it at the right time, then maybe I will let my guard down. Hua Jun has done a very smart job at this point, and I will indeed relax my attention to you because of this.
"Now, you've finally chosen to do it, ready to assassinate me. From this point of view, I can distort that this is your concern for Rong Xian, and you are worried that he will be distracted by me and forget his original purpose. But in the same way, it also made me understand more from it, it turns out that there is always a person behind you, and that person is Huajun. There is another person who wants you to be more loyal than Rong Xian. You have followed Rong Xi since you were a child, and I am afraid it was not a good arrangement in the palace, but Hua Jun deliberately put you by Rong Xi's side. Tell me, you tell meβyes? β
After listening to Yu Ran's last question, Xiu Zi Qi was stunned for a moment, his gaze swept over Rong Xian's body and fell on Rong Xian's pale cheeks, and then he looked up at Yu Zhan's calm expression, he was speechless.
Xiuzi is a person who rarely lies, because he is not very good at talking. So when he was by Rong Xi's side, many of his emotions were real, and he definitely didn't mean to hurt Rong Xi.
Only this time, like the letter sent to the Regent's Mansion to be handed over to Rong Xi, he also secretly received another urgent letter. The content of it is almost no different from Yuran's guess, and he himself has hesitated for a while, it's not that he can't see Rong Xi's intentions for Yuran, his son-in-law is no longer simply curious about Yuran, but really likes Yuran.
