Chapter 25: The Past (3)
After Sister A's burial, I was no longer able to face the tragic death of my master and the rest of the Ji family, so I fled quickly.
On the way to find He Ru, I saw an official document posted by the government, saying that after the fire of the Ji family was extinguished, the government sent someone to investigate, and found that the Ji family was charred from top to bottom, and no one escaped.
And the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is nowhere to be found.
Sure enough, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty.
And there are rumors among the people that Qi Ran, the eighth son of Duanyang Emperor, went out of the palace a few days ago, and after coming back, he had burns all over his body, and now he is lying in bed to recuperate.
Emperor Duanyang was about to collapse after a long illness, and after Qi Ran returned to the palace, for some reason, the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was used in the medicine of Emperor Duanyang, and Emperor Duanyang was immediately able to stay and walk and regain his vitality.
The next day, Qi Ran was named the crown prince, supervised the country, and was given the prince's mansion.
When I bought water to moisten my throat at a tea shop, I heard the news and immediately carved the word "Qi Ran" on the table with my fingernails, until the flesh and blood of my hands were blurred.
I stared at my fingers in a daze, tears unconsciously sliding down and dripping onto the wound, painful.
Qi Ran, Qi Ran.
He must have robbed the Ganoderma lucidum obtained by the Ji family in order to invite merit in front of Emperor Duanyang, and he was afraid that one day he would be arrested, so he lit a fire and extinguished the mouth of the Ji family.
There are fifty-three members of the Ji family, and none of them survived.
I kept Qi Ran's name in my heart and read it silently. Every time I think about it, I hate to eat him alive and die together.
Night after night, Sister A's dying tragic situation fell into a dream, I woke up, and I felt that I should go with them, and I would also think of Qi Ran's name, so I comforted myself and said: "I need to take revenge, and then I will go to find my father and sister after taking revenge." ”
I would have mistaken the meaning of the jade plate that Sister gave me, and after finding He Ru to reveal his identity, the first thing I said to him was: "Let's go to Qi Ran for revenge." ”
He Ru was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old immature boy at the time, and the name of the ghost doctor had not yet been known, and when he heard me speak, the first thing he did was to touch my forehead: "Isn't the little girl burnt and confused?" ”
He took me to Hetuo Mountain and patiently said to me: "Your sister gave you the jade plate and asked you to come to me, because she wanted you to come to study medicine, not to let you go to avenge them, understand?" ”
He Ru and I analyzed the pros and cons: "Even if Qi Ran did it, we ordinary people, when we meet the prince, we can only admit it." You're carefree now, what about me? There is the He family behind me, if the East Window incident happens, where will you let such a large family run? ”
I was persuaded on the surface, but every time I had a nightmare, the hatred for Qi Ran in my heart deepened.
I stayed in Hetuo Mountain for three months, in addition to learning medical skills every day, I imagined Qi Ran's death, and finally I was really angry with He Ru's inaction, and I took advantage of the middle of the night to sneak away.
I ran to Kyoto, and when I saw someone, I inquired about the prince, thinking that this would lead Qi Ran out. It's just that what was later introduced was the newly sealed King of Chu, Qi Yao.
With a smile on his face, he shook a fan and pinched my face: "Little sister asked the prince what he was doing?" ”
I felt that his eyes were very cold and terrifying, and I unconsciously confided the truth: "I want to seek revenge on him." ”
After listening to my complaint, the king of Chu said, "Ah": "I said that the emperor's brother did too much this time, and he caused so many killings. ”
He seemed to rub off all the traces on my face: "Actually, I've been unpleasant to see him for a long time, so why don't I help you take revenge." ”
"Really?" My eyes lit up.
"I have a plan, but it may take a little longer."
