(Seven years later)

"Knock knock."

After three knocks, a powder-blue figure came to me like a butterfly.

He brought the tray in front of me with one hand.

The tray was splashed all over the place, and I couldn't help frowning and hesitated

"Fluttershy, this was a good bowl of medicine, but now there's only half a bowl left. I...... Can I skip it? ”

I looked up at her expectantly.

"No, miss! Seeing that the begonias in the yard are about to open, if you don't drink this medicine, will you still want to have a rash? ”

I pondered for a moment, lowered my head and whispered a little unreservedly

"If I have a rash, don't I have to go to see that little Marquis Cui at night?"

Fluttershy sighs helplessly when I say this.

"My young lady, don't be embarrassed.

Your meeting with Marquis Cui was personally visited by Marquis Cui from Anqing Mansion and set up with the general.

If you miss the contract because of this, the slave will be beaten to death by the master! ”

She seemed to be running out of patience.

I looked up and said aggrievedly

"But I really don't want to drink it."

"You really don't drink?"

Fluttershy's words are tinged with menace.

Seeing her like this, I subconsciously shrank back in my chair and shook my head.

"Then the slave can only go and tell the general that she doesn't want to drink medicine, and ask the general to order someone to remove all the begonias in the house."

"No...... No way! ”

I rarely shouted loudly, and then retracted back into my chair uncomfortably.

Seeing me smiling, Fluttershy picked up the medicine bowl and brought it to me.

"Does the young lady want to drink?"

I gritted my teeth, took the bowl, and drank the medicine with a frown, choking on the last sip and coughing violently.

Fluttershy pats me on the back. When I regained my senses, I smiled with satisfaction

"Wouldn't it be nice if you did this earlier?"

As he spoke, he handed me the tea.

"The carriage has been prepared, and the general heard that you were going out to buy clothes, so he sent someone to accompany him to protect you, and the people were already waiting. Let's go out! ”

With that, Fluttershy comes to help me. I dodged naturally and walked out alone.

As soon as I got into the carriage, I noticed that Fluttershy was following me, and I turned around and gave him an awkward look, and she realized and stayed outside the car.

Sitting alone in the carriage, my expression relaxed. I sighed secretly in my heart

"If I get used to pretending to be a cowardly lady, when I go back in the future, Ah Ran may not be able to tell how to laugh at me.

But no matter what, it's all about getting back to him. ”

Yes, returning to Ah Ran is something that has been on my mind since the day I separated from him, and it is the only thing I have been doing in the past seven years.

The bumps in the drive made me a little drowsy, so I simply leaned my head against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep, and my mind went back to seven years ago.

Seven years ago, the southern merchant Jia Yue Xiongqi rebelled and attacked the imperial city. My Yan clan was defeated, so I retreated north with the royal family and the dead soldiers, and accidentally captured Yue Xiongqi's wife and son on the way.

The father and emperor repaired a letter to Yu Yue and ordered his whole army to withdraw from Shengjing City. We are temporarily stationed in the northern suburbs of Yecheng to wait for Yue's reply.

Unexpectedly, a thief poisoned the dinner and killed more than half of the royal family and soldiers. Encountering Leng Yihan, the general of the northern garrison, he defected and went south to take the night city, and the Yan dynasty was in danger!

On that day, I fled with Ah Ran and Qing Dai to Night City.

After Ah Ran left, Qingdai and I have been hiding in the box.

Then I lost consciousness and had nightmares after nightmare, and when I woke up I was lying on a bed carved of mahogany.

Later, Qingdai told me that on the night of Night City, the box we were hiding in was carried away, and we traveled for a long time, and when we opened it again, we had returned to Shengjing City.

The unboxers were surprised to find out that we were and handed us over to their master, a middle-aged man known as the General.

Fearing that her identity would be revealed, Qing Dai lied that I was the lady of the house where we were hiding in Night City, and by mistake she couldn't escape with her family, so she hid in a box when she heard something unusual in the courtyard.

When the general heard this, he arranged for us to be in the house.

Shortly after I lost consciousness in the box, I developed a high fever. After arriving at the general's mansion, he was even more burned and talked nonsense, and he fainted for three or four days before he woke up.

Qing Dai said that it was good that I called my father and mother in private, otherwise my nonsense would expose our identities.

Later, when I recovered from my illness, I learned that the person who took us in was Leng Yihan, the former defender of Liaocheng!

I think that Leng Yihan led his troops to rebel at that time, and ordered people to loot the gold and silver property of all households in Night City, so his subordinates carried away the boxes where we were hiding.

I still vividly remember the feeling of blood flowing backwards when I first heard that it was Leng Yihan who took us in, and I really wanted to fight with it!

But at that time, Qingdai and I were powerless to compete with it, so we could only hide our identities for the time being, and wait for him to think about it in the future.

Leng Yihan said that the reason why he took us in was because he himself had a daughter, but unexpectedly he contracted a vicious illness on the way south with the army, and he fell ill within a few days.

This daughter of his is named Leng Qingqian.

Leng Yihan always thought that Qingqian's death was the retribution of his rebellion, and when he saw that the two of us were lonely, he felt compassion.

It just so happens that I'm the same age as Qingqian, so I hope I take the position of her daughter.

In order to hide that I am not shallow, Leng Yihan also replaced all his subordinates.

But I have doubts about his statement.

It is impossible for someone like him not to have doubts about my identity, and he never asks again.

He left us behind because he guessed that we were related to the Yan clan, after all, our hiding place was too close to the village in the northern suburbs.

So although we had to stay in the General's Mansion, we have always been wary of it.

As for Leng Yihan's family, his wife passed away at an early age.

Leng Yihan has never continued the strings, nor has he been biased, in addition to Leng Qingqian, there is also a son under his knees, named Leng Yunshen, who is two years old.

This Leng Yunshen has been sick for many years and rarely leaves his yard, so I have little intersection with him.

The turmoil seven years ago caused my Yan clan to lose most of its territory. The original Fengli Kingdom is now divided into two countries with Jinshui as the boundary.

And the father couldn't withstand such a heavy blow, and died in a few days.

He was succeeded by Ah Ran, who was only ten years old at the time, but he took on the important task of restoring the country, and he has been in charge of the government since he was sixteen years old, that is, last year.

Back then, my mother asked Ah Ran to protect me, and after I got lost, Beili was looking for me all the time.

However, just four years ago, the Beili Imperial Court released news that the Chosen One had been recovered.

When I first heard the news, I just felt that there was no hope of seeing Ah Ran again in my life, but after thinking about it, I still felt that I should not give up.

So last year, during the Flower Dynasty Festival, I used the sound of the piano to perform the spiritual rhino technique taught to me by my master on the bank of the moat of Shengjing, attracting butterflies to dance, and since then I have become famous, hoping to attract the attention of Beili.

The Spirit Rhino Technique is a secret technique of the Fengli Sect, and few people even know about it even the disciples in the sect, but I know this technique, and Ah Ran knows it.

I wanted to use this to tell Ah Ran where I was, but I didn't want to go a whole year without seeing any movement.

Fortunately, there is no endless road.

When I left the palace seven years ago, Master handed me a brocade bag containing the eggs of the Shadow Butterfly.

The Shadow Butterfly is a unique spirit butterfly on Lingxiu Mountain, with a very long lifespan and can fly thousands of miles, and can be transmitted after domestication with the sound of silk and bamboo.

The growth of this butterfly mainly depends on the nectar of the begonia flower, and it happens that this kind of flower and tree are planted in the sunny garden where I live.

Therefore, since I settled down, I have tried to breed and domesticate the Shadow Butterfly, and now it has been quite successful, and I will be able to communicate from afar in another year, and I hope that I will be able to contact Ah Ran by then.

However, the trouble is that I am allergic to begonia pollen, and I have to take medicine every time it blooms, otherwise I will be covered with red rashes.

However, I also reaped the blessing of misfortune, so I spread the rumor that I was suffering from a strange illness and withdrew from the marriage contract with the crown prince Yue Linglan.

This marriage contract is Yue Xiongqi's will, Leng Yihan is jealous but dare not say it because I am not his biological daughter.

Originally, Leng Yihan saw that I was allergic and planned to change the yard for me.

Naturally, I couldn't accept it, so I thought of asking the emperor to cancel the marriage contract in exchange, so that Leng Yihan would continue to allow me to live in Qingyuan.

However, since then, everyone in the house knows that I attach great importance to the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and as for whether they will think about it much, I can't care so much......

However, the medicine that suppressed the rash caused great damage to the qi and blood, but fortunately, I secretly practiced internal strength for many years to offset it to slow down the damage to my body.

Also last year, Qingdai met Leng Yunshen, who was rarely discharged from the hospital.

Leng Yun saw Qing Dai's delicate and graceful posture, and had evil thoughts and wanted to do wrong.

I took this opportunity to send Qingdai to the eighth princess Yue Luanxi.

First, I want to help Qing Dai get rid of the entanglement of Leng Yun Shen, and the other is to use Qing Dai to find out about Nan Li's departure from the court, so as to get useful news and leave as soon as possible.

Fluttershy, who is currently serving me, was sent to me by Leng Yihan after I sent Indigo away last year.

On the surface, she looks like an ordinary personal maid, but I can vaguely guess that she is Leng Yihan's eyeliner.

Fortunately, she was clever enough not to interfere too much with my plans......

For seven years, the pain and cruelty buried deep in my heart have been invading my heart all the time

The death of my father and Bixi, the uncertainty of Mu's life and death, and Ah Ran's isolation all deepened the hatred in my heart.

I clenched my fists.

Yue Xiongqi, sooner or later, one day I will return to Ah Ran's side and ask you for blood debts with him!
