When he returned to the valley, the senior brother had already made breakfast, and after eating breakfast, Lime went back to his room and read a book carefully.

"Senior, how is Lime's injury?" Seeing that Lime had returned to the room, Xiu Yi asked softly.

"Her injuries are almost recovered, but the poison has invaded her lungs, and it will take a few days for the Life Continuation Pill to be practiced, you must watch her in the next few days, and you must not let her use internal force. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhuo Jiheng clenched his fists, anger surged, and his arms were bruised, "That bastard, don't let the old man see him!" ”

"Senior brother!" Lime stood in the door and shouted, "I've got a few books missing from my room, but where are you?" ”

"Ah...... Ang, it's with me, you wait, I'll get it to you. Lime's voice made Feng Shaoyan's heart skip a beat, and he replied weakly, like a child who has done something bad.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Zhuo Jiheng stiffened, very unnatural, Lime stepped forward suspiciously, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I've eaten too much for the teacher, just take a walk." Zhuo Jiheng smiled awkwardly, and when he saw Lime walking towards him, he hurriedly got up and went for a walk.

Lime froze in place, looking at the back of the master very suspiciously, no matter how the master looked at it, it seemed that he was hiding from himself.

She looked at Xiu Yi who was sitting at the table and concentrating on drinking porridge, his face was indifferent, and the more she looked at it, the more wrong it became.

There is also a senior brother, who obviously looked weak just now, as if he had done something bad and was broken by himself. These three people must have something to hide from themselves.

Lime remained silent, took the book that her brother handed her, and went back to her room.

Lime was immersed in the book for a long time, until her stomach gurgled and she took her eyes off the book and looked at the sun, it was time for lunch.

Thinking that Master liked to eat the boiled fish he made the most, Lime came to his brother and wanted to ask him to go to the stream to fish. But as soon as she got closer, Lime heard a faint quarrel in her brother's room.

"How long can you hide from her? She'll have to know sooner or later. Feng Shaoyan said,

"But it shouldn't be now, the pill hasn't been practiced yet, and her life is in danger at any time!" Xiu Yi retorted.

"I know her, and in the future, she will know that we lied to her, and she will ......" Feng Shaoyan said urgently.

"If she knew now, would her body be able to handle it?" Xiu Yi said, "This matter, wait, at least wait until she takes the pill." ”

Lime stood outside the door, and only a few words were heard from her distance, but it was enough for her to be sure that they were hiding something from her.

In the past few days since she woke up, no one has ever mentioned anything outside to her, and she is only bent on recuperating with peace of mind.

She has always been very weak and has limited energy, and has not taken the initiative to obtain information from the outside world.

Now it seems that in the past few days back in Yuangu, most of the things have happened outside.

Lime quietly left the senior brother's room, without alarming anyone, and went out alone.

She came to the Ink River in the south of the Yuangu Valley, first released a signal flare into the sky, and then picked and chose a branch about the thickness of the river, and picked a suitable spot by the river, ready to fish.

"Oh yes, that's lime!" Through the window, Feng Shaoyan inadvertently caught the inconspicuous signal flare that appeared in the sky, he was shocked, and turned around to look for Xiuyi, only to find that Xiuyi had already rushed out of the door and rushed to the south of the valley.

Lime posed, aiming at a fat carp, her hands holding the branch tightened, and with a fierce force, the carp was steadily poked by her on the branch.

"I've seen my master." A man dressed in black knelt down on one knee behind Lime, "It's too late, please punish the master." ”

"Not necessarily. I've been injured these days, what happened to Su Yanke? Lime took the carp down, threw away the branches, and carried the fish in her hand with the rattan she had prepared beforehand.

"Back to the master, Xiao Shiqian committed suicide by taking poison in the prison, Xiao Guogong was so angry that he died of poison." The man in black raised his head slightly, and after seeing Lime's pale face, he hesitated and didn't dare to say any more.

"Yes...... Got an autopsy? There was a tingling in Lime's heart, and the fish in her hand fell to the ground, with a slight tremor in her voice.

"After testing, Xiao Guogong's residual poison has accumulated in his body for many years, and this time he attacked his heart in a hurry, and the residual poison attacked, and he died after ineffective treatment; Xiao Shiqian was killed instantly after taking the spoon in prison. The man in black replied.

This is the result she never expected, the second brother she snatched back with her life finally died in the prison, Xiao Guogong, whom she regarded as her father, also died of poison, and the Xiao family was the only one left in Manxue, how should Manxue face this sudden change.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her chest, she clutched her chest, her face became pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, her blood surged, she coughed up a mouthful of blood unexpectedly, everything in front of her became more and more blurred, and finally she was no longer able to hold on, and fell backwards.

"Master!" The man in black was startled and got up to hold the lime, but was slapped by another person and flew out.

Xiu Yi hugged Lime's crumbling body, and immediately sealed the acupoint for her to slow down the spread of the toxin, he didn't have time to think about anything, picked up Lime, immediately picked up the light gong, and rushed towards the medicine house.

It is not easy to pick up a life under the guidance of flowers, but now she is emotional, her qi and blood are surging, the spread of toxins is accelerating, and her life is worried.

Xiu Yi didn't dare to delay at all, and tried his best to return to the medicine house as quickly as possible.

The moment Xiu Yi broke into the medicine house with the lime, Zhuo Jiheng almost flipped the table, and before he had time to get angry, he immediately injected the lime, protected the heart, and fed her a heart protection pill, hoping to resist the domineering and violent toxicity of the flowers and win a chance.

An hour later, Lime did not wake up, but his breath was even weaker, Zhuo Jiheng clenched his fists, and his eyes were already red.

After two hours, the lime still did not wake up, and her breath was almost imperceptible.

For three hours, four hours, Lime never woke up, and just when Zhuo Jiheng almost gave up hope, Lime's fingers moved slightly.

Zhuo Jiheng was overjoyed, phoenix blood sandalwood, it was really a well-deserved healing elixir, and once again pulled Xiao Ning'er back from the brink of death.

At the same time, he was extremely heartbroken, he hated himself for saving countless people in his life, but he couldn't heal his favorite apprentice.

When Lime woke up, five days later, she was so weak that she couldn't lift a hand, as if she had just been through a terrible war.

At this time, the master was sleeping soundly on the side of the bed, his face looked a little haggard, she slept for a few more days, did the master stay by her side?

Suddenly there was a slight sound, and then Xiu Yi appeared in her field of vision, and seeing her wake up, Xiu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He ordered Zhuo Jiheng's sleeping hole, helped him to the newly built bed on the side, he guarded the lime day and night, it was time to rest.

"You've been in a coma for five days, don't move yet, how do you feel?" Xiu Yi sat beside him and asked softly.

Lime didn't answer, her eyes fell on Zhuo Jiheng, who was sleeping not far away, she remembered that when she first met Master, it was like today, Master was sleeping next to her, and the big hands held her small hands, warm and powerful.

Xiu Yi followed her gaze and sighed lightly, "Lime, do you know how much effort your master has put into saving you, the Xiao family's father and son are important to you, but the deceased is gone, you always have to think about the living." You still have your master, your brother, you still have your brother, you still have me. ”

Xiu Yi helped her up, let her lean on his shoulder, took out a pill from his arms and put it to her mouth, and said softly, "This is your master refining the life-sustaining pill for you." I know that you are in a coma this time, and there are some things that I can't hide from you anymore. Xiao Shizhi's sword is coated with flowers, and there is no medicine to solve it, only the Life-Continuation Pill can suppress its toxicity and can renew your life for a few years. ”

"Since there is no cure, then I will definitely die, so why should I take this elixir." Lime said, her voice was very weak.

"Lime, if I tell you that your mother is probably still alive, would you like to see her?" Xiu Yi asked.

"You say my mother is still alive?" Lime's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously.

"How could I have lied to you?" Xiu Yi looked directly into her eyes, so that she couldn't see the slightest flaw, "I also received the news a few days ago. Whether this news is true or not, you have to give it a fight to know. ”

"Okay." Lime thought for a moment, nodded and said, whether it was true or not, she would give it a try, if the mother concubine was really alive, then she must miss the two of them very much.

As soon as the Life Continuation Pill entered the abdomen, the lime felt a burst of warmth in the dantian, and immediately regained some strength.

She raised her hand to check the pulse for herself, the poison had invaded her lungs, and now it was suppressed by the Life Continuation Pill, and it had stopped spreading, but if the medicine of the Life Continuation Pill was not effective enough in the future, it would continue to spread.

"Before, it was your master who changed your pulse and made you think that you were fine, so that you could recuperate in peace. Your body is still very weak and you need to recuperate for a few days. Xiu Yi said, he said as he adjusted his posture to make the lime more comfortable, "Although you have taken the Life Renewal Pill now, you have temporarily suppressed the toxicity, but you can't easily use the internal force, it will accelerate the spread of the poison." If you want to know anything, just ask, and I'll tell you all. ”

"Xiu Yi, now that the Xiao family's father and son have died, and the Xiao family is the only one left, what happened to the brother?" Lime asked, even though she was seriously injured, there were some things she couldn't stay out of.

"Smart as you, can't you see the strangeness in this?" Xiu Yi asked rhetorically, "Think about it, why did Xiao Shi's sword have flowers painted on it?" Does he really want Xiao Shiqian to die? ”

"Flowers." Lime whispered silently, the usage of the flower lead turned back in her mind, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, she traced it back with this small clue, and suddenly everything was clear, all of this was planned by her brother, she exclaimed, "Brother, what does he want to do?" He's going to rebel? ”

"The Xiao Mansion seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, and everyone in the Xiao family has secrets." Xiu Yi said, "Xiao Guogong knows everything, the identity of your brother and sister, your brother's ambition, and even the secrets of ten years ago, he knows. But he only didn't know that his son Xiao Shiqian had already surrendered to your brother. Xiao Shizhi's true identity, he thought he was hiding it well until he died. ”

"They all know who I and my brother are, but they don't let us recognize each other because they know my brother's ambition and don't want to involve me, they are protecting me." Lime said slowly.

"That's right, although you haven't been in the Xiao Mansion for a long time, you should know your brother's temper." Xiu Yi said, "His city is very deep, even I can't see through it, and besides, he is too obsessed with Su Yan's old case back then, and he is bent on revenge, which is somewhat paranoid, and it will be easy to hurt the people around him." ”

"That second brother, he ......" Lime was stunned for an instant, and the result she vaguely guessed made her feel terrified.

"Originally, Xiao Shiqian didn't have to die, he took the Heart Protection Pill in advance, which could only cause the appearance of fake death." Xiu Yi said, "But your appearance ruined his plan, and when your brother knew your identity, he knew that Xiao Shiqian had deceived him, and he even caused him to seriously injure his sister with his own hands." Do you think your brother will still leave him alive? ”

"No, it's not like that, it shouldn't be like this." Lime instinctively resisted, and the next moment she couldn't cry.

She thought she had saved her second brother, but in the end, she pushed her second brother to a dead end, which was caused by her, and she killed her second brother.

"That's why I'm hiding it from you." Xiu Yi held her tightly in his arms and let her cry, "Xiao Shizhi was promoted to the title of Shangshu Order and commanded the six departments because of his meritorious service. Now he is taking the coffins of the Xiao family father and son back to his hometown and buried in the ancestral grave of the Xiao family. Lime, do you want to go to worship and see them one last time? ”

Lime was speechless, and at this moment her tears were raining down, and her heart was like a knife. She never imagined, let alone believed, that her brother, who had been looking for so many years, was such a ruthless person.

"Repair." She choked up and said, "I'm going to see them." ”

"Okay." He hugged her tightly and replied forcefully.
