Chapter 3: All living beings are plants and trees, but you are the green mountain
Duanmu Yuhua rejected King Nan'an's proposal to let her move back to the main hall, and still placed her in the backyard of the palace.
There are memories everywhere, every inch of land, every flower. It's full of familiar atmospheres, and it's reassuring. She stayed at home for three months, and an uninvited guest came in over the wall.
It was a nice sunny day in August, and there was a cool wind. Usually at this time, the osmanthus fragrance fills the garden, and her mother will pick it down to make snacks and make flower wine.
When Xie Jiusi was there, she just found him early to go to the mountain together, and came back in the evening, and the three of them gathered around the table to face the moon. In the seven years that Xie Jiusi was not there, half of the time was spent by herself, and the other half was accompanied by Yuxi Lingyue.
She remembered that the first time she saw Yuxi Lingyue was in a remote and abandoned courtyard in the backyard of the palace, and there was a dilapidated and desolate lotus pond next to it. He was holding a rope and hanging it from a tree, his feet standing on a small bench.
She wiped the rock wall of the pool with a handkerchief, sat on it and watched it from a distance of more than ten feet, but waited until the sun set, and did not wait for his feet to leave the ground.
Duanmu Yuhua yawned, got up and prepared to go back to sleep. That's when he spoke.
"Do you know how I'm different from them? People who have nothing are under the water, ordinary people are on the water. I'm stuck in the middle, reason won't let me go down, and fate won't let me come up. ”
She stretched and fiddled with the pair of rhino horn carved Fushou bells on her wrists.
"Then you won't want to die, I'm hungry."
"Are you staying here because you're afraid that I won't be able to open it and want to save me?"
Yu Xi Lingyue regretted it after asking, he saw the girl in front of him looking like a fool, and his eyes clearly wrote - otherwise, what do you think?
What did he think? My mother and uncle seized power and killed my father and ascended to high positions. This is not the end, it is just the beginning before sunset, and he never knows the other side of his mother, who has always been docile and humble—to kill them all.
The uncle was surprised when he died, but the mother just looked down in disgust and said a light word.
"Pulled to a mass grave and buried."
Before he could persuade her to stop, the swords turned in a different direction and were aimed at him. Where can she stop, since she embarked on this road of no return to power, she can't turn back.
He fled all the way, from his homeland to Beixiang, and his ambition to survive was minimal—what was the meaning of living. He thought he had lost everything and was a child rejected by the gods.
He didn't want to struggle, but the sword didn't fall on him. A young man in white wearing a mask used a sword to block the fatal blow for him.
"The wolf cub of King Xiliang, the one who defeated Fu Youshan a year ago, is now willing to die at the hands of a group of little minions?"
He was still lying on the ground with his eyes closed, not resisting or struggling, and his heart looked like ashes. This young man didn't know that those bloody battles were just because there were people in their hearts who wanted to protect at that time, but now they are gone, this is a lie, a scam.
"Your sister and brother, Yuxi Mengjia and Yuxi Mingzhe, are still alive."
"You don't want to save them from Zhuo Ji? If she wants to be in power, she must have a justifiable reason. Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the child is young and ignorant, and it is easiest to control. ”
The sound of swords clashing in his ears disappeared, and so did the boy's voice. He clutched his injured abdomen and opened his eyes. Underground is a piece of Hetian white jade, on which is written - Lu.
He looked at it, picked up the jade pendant and threw it out, and turned his head to leave. After a while, he resigned himself to his fate, turned back and picked it up, and stuffed it into his cuffs.
"You don't think I'm staying here to urge you to kick off the bench and watch a good show, right?"
He came back to his senses, and there was a faint anger in the amber eyes of the girl in red in front of him, and her good-looking brows were tightly furrowed.
"Who's going to joke with a human life."
Duanmu Xihua looked at the silent man in front of him, he was really unteachable.
"If you're really here to see a good show. I'll kill you first, and then I'll kill myself. ”
“……”
Heh, Duanmu Xihua turned her head and left, she hadn't suffered this grievance, and she had never seen such a villain-hearted person.
But the young man stopped him.
"In return, how about I be your husband."
The girl stopped, then spat out a word coldly.
"Get out."
It's really a long experience, Duanmu Yuhua has never seen such a brazen person. Where's the face, brother? began to deceive people's feelings, which made her fearful, and the next second she began to intimidate her with cruel words.
Now she wanted to be her husband again—whatever, because she didn't want to encourage him to kick the bench. Do I have to thank you for your grace of not killing, the grace of knowing the encounter, she slandered in her heart.
The man behind him chuckled, briskly and pleasantly.
"Don't you want to go out of the house to have a look and take a walk?"
