Chapter 81 The Past Is Like Smoke
Five years ago, Dai Qingshan followed his father to the imperial capital, which was not the first time he went to the imperial capital, but it was the most impressive. It was that year that Xiao Li, the regent of the extremely popular minister, was reported for rebellion and disrespect, and was beheaded overnight.
Originally, the dart bureau planned to stay in the imperial capital for a few more days, but because of this incident, people were panicked, so they decided to leave the imperial capital quickly. In those days, it rained heavily one after another, and the dart team couldn't go far at all, so they had to take shelter from the rain first.
When Dai Qingshan went to patrol the courtyard, he found Xiao He unconscious under his dart car.
He was just a stunned boy, how could he know how to take care of the little girl, and hurriedly carried her into his father's room. They called the accompanying doctor of the dart team to treat her, and finally rescued her.
When the little girl woke up, she didn't say a word, her eyes were blank, and she had no thoughts of life.
Or Dai Dart saw through her mind at a glance, and only asked her when no one was around, "Is your family gone?" When she heard this, she cried bitterly.
The dart team only stayed in the imperial capital for two days, and when they set off on the third day, there was an extra kid in the dart team. When Dai Qingshan talked about it, he pointed to Xiao He and said that it was his younger brother.
Since then, Xiao He has been doing miscellaneous work in the dart game, and he also learns boxing and foot kung fu from the dart masters on weekdays. The dart masters in the dart bureau are all teachers of the north and south of the school, each with its own characteristics, she actively asked them for advice, from the fur kung fu, practice to two or three percent of the foundation, the short time used to make everyone amazed. Xu is with her father, she is extremely talented in martial arts, and she can understand everything.
It takes a year or two for others to learn something, but she can learn a martial art in just over a month. At that time, she spent all her free time studying martial arts, and only she knew that she wanted to become stronger, and wanted to make herself no longer timid, even if she was alone.
Dai Qingshan saw that she practiced so hard, so he often practiced with her, and also taught the Dai family boxing method he had learned without omission.
Later, Xiao He learned the news from the imperial capital that the crown prince Tang Qinghua intended to rebel and was killed in his own mansion, which made her realize that Mu Churan's power was getting stronger and stronger. No matter how high your martial arts are, you can only strengthen your body, and if you want to take revenge, you must use other methods.
The hatred in her heart is unknown to others, but the dart head is clear, and she has been persuaded many times to let go of her hatred and go her own way. Overnight, the home that was once full of songs and laughter turned into a sea of blood, and those familiar faces turned into hideous faces, how can they be put down?
How many nightmares did she see her parents staring at death, holding up their hands stained with mud and blood, breaking through the dirt and returning from hell to find her, just to ask why she didn't avenge them?
So she discussed with Dai Darthead, left the dart board, and went to participate in the imperial examination. Only when he is at the top of the high school rankings and enters the dynasty can he get close to that person.
Dai Dart sighed at that time: "Child, you have chosen a road to heaven, and only you know the hardships and dangers in the future." ”
In this way, Xiao He and his brother have not seen each other for nearly three years. After she won the lift, she wrote to inform her that she had also written to the champion in the palace examination, and she wanted to come to the Dai family, and the father and son were both martial artists who did not like literature and ink, so there was no correspondence.
Xue Liangan has been invited to treat the poisoned person in the inner hall with Hongzhu.
Xiao Hecai and his brother had an empty time: "Is dad good? ”
She asked about wearing a dart, and the elder brother hesitated slightly, and said with a stagnant expression on his face: "There was an illness in the middle of last year, and his old man has ......" Xiao He was even more stunned when he heard this, and he said after a long time: "No wonder I wrote to you several times, but I didn't reply, my father is deliberately hiding from me?" ”
Dai Qingshan smiled with relief: "People will eventually die." ”
Xiao He couldn't calm down for a long time, endured and endured, and swallowed the tears in his eyes alive. The Dai family is to her, and the grace is rebuilt, and the father is like a middle father to her. Although the half-hundred-year-old man was born in martial arts and did not read much, he was sensible and knowledgeable, and he saw through Xiao He's life experience early, and persuaded her many times openly and secretly to let go of the obsession in her heart, and even used his own death to tell her a truth - look down on life and death, it is important to live.
Revenge is her shackles, shackles, and the claws that pull her into hell from which she will never return.
Daddy understood that her heart had to be strong, so he told her in such a cruel way that she didn't have to feel burdened.
Dai Qingshan didn't stay long, and after seeing that Xue Liangan and Hongzhu worked together to deploy the antidote formula, the little brother's fate was saved, and he entrusted the person to Xiao He to take care of, so he went back to the dart bureau on the road.
The man didn't speak, nor did he say his name, so Xiao He called him Xiaoshan brother, and the other people in the house also called him Xiaoshan Gongzi.
He didn't show any dissatisfaction or joy at this title, and he didn't even have too much expression. Xiao He confessed to Hongzhu to take care of him, and Hongzhu secretly called him Leng Gongzi.
When Xiao He entered the palace, there were already several civil officials in the Jixian Hall who were practicing the annals with her, and they had just received an order to help them take charge of the compilation of the annals of the previous dynasty. As soon as Xiao He entered the hall, he heard that the people inside immediately got up and saluted him respectfully, "Welcome Lord Xiao." ”
This is also Mu Churan's arrangement, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and found a bunch of people younger than her own grade to come over as a foil, is she going to tie herself to this Jixian Palace?
There is an excerpt in front of Mu Churan's case, which is the result of Gonggong Liu's previous investigation, and there is something about Xiao He's life experience. It took a lot of twists and turns to collect evidence in the middle, so it took a long time, and reporting to Mu Churan can only be said to be suspicious, and he is not completely sure.
Mu Churan picked up the fold, hesitated, but opened it to see.
Xiao He's previous identity was too leaky, which made people suspicious. He just wanted to verify her daughter's body, but he didn't want to see the last thing he wanted. His gaze quickly swept over the text, and he only saw "Xiao Li's daughter" hastily, and closed it with a snap.
Xiao He, Xiao He......
How could he not have thought of it.
It turned out that they were old people, and it turned out that the dodge in her eyes was all hiding hatred.
Mu Churan walked outside the Jixian Hall alone, without letting anyone inform, just stood by the window, looking at the people inside, Xiao He or called her Xiao He, who was sitting there concentrating on a book, with a somewhat quiet expression.
The various possibilities that he had speculated before, when the truth was put in front of him, made him a little difficult to accept for a while. He had no way of knowing how she felt when she came to him, but the only thing he knew was that he owed her too much.
Now she has crept into his heart, and he just wants to cherish her smile, hoping that she will not have to hide it so carefully, and do his best to protect her and not let her be hurt again.
He stood outside the window for a moment, and then hurried back to the study.
After finishing the recital, he looked up and saw that it was not too early, and his thoughts couldn't help but churn and think about her, and when he woke up, he found that he was already standing outside the Jixian Palace. I thought she was out of the palace, but I found that she was still in the palace, and there was only one person left, reading at night under the lights.
Under the silence of all things, only the sound of the wind outside the hall whistled by.
There was a strange grunt, and Xiao He looked down at the source of the sound was his innocent stomach. It turned out that he had only been reading books and didn't remember to go to dinner with them. At this time, it was late and I was hungry and panicked, but fortunately there was no one there, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
It's just that at this time, it's not good to ask the palace people to prepare food for themselves, after all, it's so late. Xiao He rolled his eyes, it was better to go to the imperial dining room to see what ready-made things to fill his stomach casually.
She got up and went straight to the imperial dining room, and Mu Churan quietly followed.
It's a pity that the imperial dining room has been locked, and when she grabbed the iron general and was helpless, a bright yellow sleeve went over her shoulder and opened the lock. As soon as Xiao He turned around, a frightened expression appeared on his face, "Your ......Majesty" Before she could scream, Mu Churan reached out to cover her mouth and signaled her to silence.
"I stole the key, don't be so loud." Mu Churan chuckled softly.
Xiao He was a little surprised, but he heard him call himself me, not me. In a trance, I returned to the time when I went south with him.
The two of them entered the imperial dining room together, and Xiao He was really hungry. But she never thought that she would steal something to eat in the imperial dining room with the emperor. Mu Churan didn't admit it, "If you go into your kitchen and eat something, can you call it stealing?" ”
Indeed, she came in with her master, so naturally she was not stealing.
She ate all kinds of pastries, quenched her hunger and hunger, and was full in a few pieces. Mu Churan pinched a piece of stamen and handed it to her, Xiao He looked at the lotus-shaped cake, a little distracted. Suddenly, she asked with some vigilance, "Why did Your Majesty give me this?" ”
Mu Churan didn't see any flaws on his face, "This kind of dim sum is delicious, you can taste it, it is not often eaten outside the palace." ”
Xiao He took it, this cake was indeed produced by the imperial chef in the palace, but because she liked to eat it when she was a child, her mother specially consulted the master in the palace how to make it, and often made it for her to eat. A piece of cake evokes countless memories for her, and those who once loved her are gone, like a curse accompanying her.
The heart is unattainable in the past, the heart is unattainable now, and the heart is unattainable in the future.
Now she realizes how precious everything she had when she was a child, and when she realized it, she had lost it all. She couldn't help but be strong, because fate chose the path she took, and she was destined to be alone. As Dad said, it's a road to heaven that can't be turned back.
Xiao He had endured tears for a long time, and finally burst out of the embankment at this moment.
In an instant, she forgot where she was, who was in front of her, and tears rained down just for a piece of cake. But Mu Churan didn't ask much, just raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears with his cuffs.
"Your Majesty......" Xiao He raised his eyes to look at him.
Mu Churan's eyes were full of tenderness, "Huh? ”
"The gold thread on your cuff is a little piercing." Xiao He's eyes were slightly red.
