Song Erniu had seen the soldier squire, who was in his fifties, a fat, short, and bald old man.
In order to get the support of the Ministry of War, the eighth prince actually came up with such a ......
"Don't think about it so much, let's go, I'll take you home,"
Song Erniu pulled Xiang Xi out, but Xiang Xi looked at Chu Mufeng and smiled bitterly, "Home? I didn't have a home many years ago. Kyoto Castle is so big, but I can't find a place to stay. ”
Xiang Xi let go of Song Erniu's hand and walked towards them step by step. "I passed by my old home several times, and each time I stood there for a long time, thinking about the past, thinking about the happy and unhappy past...... I think even once, my father and mother can come out of a familiar home, and then take me back......"
"The former home has been owned by people. And I'm already homeless. Where else can I go? ”
Song Erniu took Xiang Xi's hand distressedly and comforted softly, "You still have us, we are your family, as long as you want, you can come back at any time,"
Xiang Xi shook his head, "I can't go back...... There's a lot of things that can't go back......"
Xiang Xi didn't know what he remembered, pushed Song Erniu away, turned around and walked to the opposite side.
Seeing this, Song Erniu hurriedly chased after her, "Where are you going to Xiangxi, the eighth prince has treated you like this, do you still want to go back?" ”
Xiang Xi didn't speak, and walked forward desperately, Song Erniu saw this, her face became more and more ugly, "Xiang Xi, it's not wrong to like someone, but if you give up all your self-esteem and principles because you like someone, then your liking will deteriorate, do you understand?" ”
"You can like someone, you can be unprincipled, you don't ask for returns, but you have to have a bottom line. Have you ever wondered if you really did it, would you still be you? Will you still have a future with the Eighth Prince in the future? ”
Although Song Erniu's words are ugly, they are realistic. There is no room for denial and rejection to the stream,
"Xiangxi, listen to me, don't insist anymore, he's not worth it. You deserve better."
Song Erniu grabbed Xiang Xi and wanted to take him back, but Xiang Xi still refused, "Thank you, after that incident, you are still willing to help me, but I have already decided." Don't persuade me anymore. ”
Chu Mufeng stopped the person before Xiang Xi left, and then without asking Xiang Xi's wishes, he directly knocked the person unconscious and resisted back to the carriage.
In the carriage, Song Erniu asked with some concern, "You just bring people back without asking her wishes, and you still won't be willing to stay when Xiangxi wakes up." ”
"I know." Chu Mufeng looked at the street outside the window and said coldly, "It's okay if he resents me or hates me, I can't watch him go the way he doesn't want to go." 、”
"Xiang Xi really likes the eighth prince, otherwise she wouldn't ......" Ask a woman how much she likes each other in order to be so like this, knowing that there may be an abyss in front of her, she also wants to jump off desperately......
In the evening, Xiang Xi woke up and cried for a while, and Song Erniu came in to persuade
"Let's eat first, and then you have the strength to toss when you're full," Song Erniu put the chopsticks on the table, and then asked the maid to clean the house again.
Xiang Xi glared at Song Erniu, stretched out his hand and knocked the chopsticks off, "Don't pretend, don't think I don't know, you wish I was locked up here like this, I tell you, you won't get your wish, I will definitely find a way to get out of here,"
Xiang Xi suddenly seemed to have changed, and said something inexplicable, Song Erniu felt strange, and pulled her hand to give Xiang Xi a pulse.
Song Erniu only knew a little about fur, and after half a sound, she asked the maid to find a doctor. A quarter of an hour later, the doctor's face changed after he came to check his pulse.
"This girl planted a ...... heaven"
The doctor got up and was about to leave. Song Erniu didn't know what the heavens were, but seeing the reaction of the doctor and the maid in the house, a bad thought rose in her heart.
"What is Heavenly Perfection?"
The doctor explained as he walked out with his things, "Tianjue is a highly contagious poison, Miss Song, you should get out of here quickly." ”
"Doctor, don't be in a hurry to leave, you tell me, is she still saved?"
Xiang Xi is still so young, she has suffered so much over the years, she shouldn't have been this result. 、
Song Erniu pulled the doctor and didn't let him leave, "Doctor, I'll add you ten taels of silver, you just need to tell me how to cure Tianjue, I'll come in person to ......"
"There is no antidote to the heavens, in the past hundred years, as long as the people in the heavens have not survived."
The doctor knocked off Song Erniu's hand, and he didn't want any money, so he left in a hurry.
Chu Mufeng got the news and came over, "What's the matter, I saw that the maids here have run away, is something wrong?" ”
The doctor said......" Song Erniu glanced at Chu Mufeng with some reluctance, "Chu Mufeng, no matter what happens, you have to be calm, I know ......"
"Say it, since the accident in the Chu family, over the years, I have been inviolable."
Chu Mufeng comforted Song Erniu in turn, "It's you, why is your face so bad." ”
"Leave me alone. Listen to me. Xiangxi was hit by a poison called Tianjue. The doctor said that not only could it not be saved, but it would also infect ......"
"What? Heaven and earth? "Chu Mufeng knows that the heavens are absolute, when General Chu led the troops to fight, he once encountered the enemy's poisoning, and the poison that time was the heavens, it is said that this poison has disappeared for decades, the last time was eight years ago, why did it appear again now?
"You know?" Song Erniu asked rhetorically, "What kind of poison is Tianjue, and why is it so terrifying?" ”
"The people of Miaojiang have made this poison a god, which means that even God can't help it." Chu Mufeng explained. Song Erniu gasped when she heard this, "So...... Is Xiangxi really hopeless? ”
"Eight years ago, when my father led the troops to fight, he was once secretly calculated by the sky, and more than 100,000 soldiers died in that battle."
In that battle, the Son of Heaven was angry, and the Chu family was speechless, and later Taishi Hu said that it was because of that battle that the emperor killed the Chu family. At first, Chu Mufeng, like his father, thought that the poisoning was done by the enemy, until the Chu family had an accident later, and his father left him a letter that learned that the poisoning was simply a spy, as for the purpose......
"It's been eight years, and the heavens have reappeared, does that mean anything?"
Chu Mufeng muttered to himself, and Song Erniu asked a little puzzled, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing." Chu Mufeng shook his head, "I'll go first and take a look, you wait outside." ”
"I'll go in with you." Song Erniu refused, "I have already gone in just now, if it is really infected, I can't avoid it,"
Chu Mufeng was unwilling, "It's always good to have a little less chance." You're waiting for me outside."
Chu Mufeng turned around and entered the house, Xiang Xi already knew about her poisoning, and now sat calmly on the bed, and when he heard footsteps at the door, he looked up at the door.
"Why are you here. Aren't you afraid of death/"
"Do you know anything?" Chu Mufeng did not answer Xiang Xi's words, but asked sharply.
Xiang Xi lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Seeing this, Chu Mufeng didn't know anything.
"You already knew that the person who harmed the Chu family back then was the Eighth Prince, why didn't you say it?" Chu Mufeng never thought that Xiang Xi would be so humble for a man, knowing that she was an enemy, and he didn't hesitate to do so......
"Cousin, he harmed the Chu family and me, but he also saved me. Is this a tie-out? ”
Xiang Xi tried to explain to the Eighth Prince, Chu Mufeng sneered and strode forward, "What do you mean by flattening, the lives of so many people in the Xiang family, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Chu family, just with your words, they will all be flattened?" ”
If it's really that simple, what is his persistence for so many years?
Chu Mufeng had never been so angry, he stared at Xiang Xi with red eyes, and said word by word, "Tell me, what evidence did you find in the Eight Kings' Mansion?" ”
"I haven't found anything, these are just my guesses," Xiang Xi is still protecting the eighth prince.
"The man you have so protected, the man whom you would rather lose your life than protect, now wants your life. Can you even see it? Chu Mufeng angrily crushed the tea cup in his hand, "You are doing this, is it the right Qi family, the right Qi family?" ”
"Please, cousin, don't push me. I don't really know anything. I ......" Xiang Xi pulled the quilt, not wanting to face all this, what else did Chu Mufeng have to say, Song Erniu rushed in and pulled him out.
"Okay, you let him calm down, I just know how she looks, and she doesn't have to be in a much better mood right now."
Chu Mufeng unwillingly smashed into the big tree opposite, and he didn't feel a trace of pain when his fingers were bleeding.
"Are you crazy?" Song Erniu grabbed his hand, "This is someone else's mistake, why do you want to punish yourself for someone else's mistake?" ”
There is no antidote to heaven." Chu Mufeng looked at Song Erniu a little weakly,
The two have known each other for so long, and it is the first time for Song Erniu to see him like this, I don't know why, I feel distressed.
"It's man-made, we haven't tried it yet, how do you know that there must be no cure?" Song Erniu thought of her golden finger. At dinnertime, I put some spiritual liquid in the decoction. He just smashed the bowl at the stream, and he didn't drink any of the decoction in it.
Song Erniu was worried that if she continued like this, her condition would become more and more serious, so after thinking about it carefully, she went to Xiangxi's room again.
"If you're here to persuade me, go back. I won't take medicine. ”
It's still the same result, so why waste that time?
Mourning is greater than heart death, and this is the case with Xiangxi right now. In the past, her motivation to live was the Eighth Prince, and now the Eighth Prince's Lord doesn't want him, so what else is she going to do?
Her cousin resented her and felt that she was a sinner. In fact, she didn't think so, recently, she seemed to have no heart and lungs, but in fact, every midnight dream, she was more tormented than anyone else......
She even wondered countless times why God wanted to make such a joke with her, when she was just an ordinary person, but she had to go through so many hardships. She just wants to like someone and grow old with him, why should she let him know such an unbearable scene......
It's a pity that time can't go back, and she can't forget that person, so she can only get by, pretending not to know anything......
"Do you also think that I am an ungrateful person, the Xiang family and the Chu family were so badly harmed by those people, but I knew that the poisoning case was related to the eighth prince, but I didn't mention it......"
Xiang Xi sat up with a wry smile, "But if I mention it, can I change anything?" Will Daddy come back? Can I get back everything I lost? I only know one thing, the happiness I have at the moment is something I have earned so hard, and I am willing to pay any price to catch her....... Song Erniu, you live braver than me, then you dare to bet/"
Song Erniu looked at Xiang Xi's mocking appearance and suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"The Eighth Prince harmed you like this, are you really not resentful at all?" Is there really anyone in the world who is willing to give everything for love, even with all the filters/
Song Erniu didn't believe it before, but when she saw Xiang Xi today, she suddenly felt that this girl who dared to love and hate might really not regret it.
Sure enough, Xiang Xi nodded without hesitation. "I once told you that the Eighth Prince is the only light in my dark days, and for this dawn, I am willing to resist all disasters. Now, and in the future, I won't regret it."
"If you don't regret it, why compromise now?" Song Erniu smiled and handed over the decoction. "I'm not here to persuade you to give up the Eighth Prince, I'm here to tell you that you can only persist if you want to live and you want to persevere."
"You don't blame me?" Xiang Xi looked at Song Erniu in disbelief. "Aren't you as angry as your cousin, and they all hope that I can give up the Eighth Prince? How do you ...... now?"
"If I could, of course I wanted to persuade you to leave the Eighth Prince, but I saw it clearly, you don't want to, and I asked myself in turn, if I like someone right now, am I willing to give up? The answer is, what I can't do, why force you? ”
"Erniu, do you really think so?" Xiang Xi moved forward in disbelief, "I thought it was ......"
"Okay, don't think about it, hurry up and drink the decoction, and then get a good night's sleep, believe me, as long as you don't give up, the miracle will definitely come."
The night was getting darker, Chu Mufeng stood in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky, his face was gloomy and terrifying, Song Erniu saw this scene when she came out of the house.
"Still thinking about Xiangxi?"
Song Erniu handed the tray to the little maid, and then stepped forward. "Don't worry, she has already started drinking medicine, as long as he insists, she will be fine."
In fact, Song Erniu was not sure, but in order to comfort Chu Mufeng, she could only say this.
After all, only if you believe it, others will believe it, right?
"Actually, I should have thought about it a long time ago, my father once told me that the poisoning incident was man-made, and I should have thought that it would be done by people in Kyoto...... For so many years, the enemy was close by, but I didn't notice it in the slightest."
Chu Mufeng blamed himself, and Song Erniu comforted, "Actually, you don't think about it, you just can't believe that the eighth prince is the prince, and he almost sat in that position, but he could harm so many soldiers for his own selfish interests." ”
The case of that year was also the beginning of the tragedy of the Chu family, although there is no way to prove that the case of the Chu family's destruction is related to the eighth prince, but the current clues all point to the eighth prince, which shows that the eighth prince is inseparable from this matter.
"Okay, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early."
Chu Mufeng stood still, "Does she still refuse to let go?" ”
