Hou Ye came more and more diligently, but I don't know whether it was because he had lost the string of beads he had always held in his hand, or because the situation in the previous dynasty was really tense, I found that he was becoming more and more absent-minded day by day, and his face was sad. Although I was distressed, I understood that these things were really not something that I could share with him as a civilian, so I could not comfort him.

Just look at each other, hoping to dispel some of each other's sorrows.

In the afternoon of this day, I heard that the princess was not depressed and became ill after a long time, and the Hou Ye got the emperor's order and went to the prince's mansion to visit and condole. I sat alone in the courtyard and watched the folk tricksters trembling and performing boring tricks for me, which was really boring. So he asked Xunyue to reward him out, and went to the outer garden to inform the housekeeper, so that he didn't have to bother to arrange these programs for me in the future.

After the group left, the courtyard finally quieted down, I lay on the rocking chair and enjoyed this rare clean and comfortable, the air was not wet or dry, the temperature was refreshing and pleasant, the sky was clear and the clouds were clean, the sun was shining, even if all the sorrow was gone.

I closed my eyes and was imagining that I was sitting on the school swing with Shui Qing and them chatting and making fun of them, but I heard a commotion outside the courtyard, and when I looked around, I saw the soldiers guarding the courtyard gate leaving in unison. Huan Pei jingling, it was actually Wen Zhao who was wearing a regular suit and strode into the meteor.

Under the sun, he wore a long shirt with a blue silk style and raw edges, which was particularly refreshing, and he was a little more dignified than usual. However, when they got closer, they saw that his expression was not as bright as his clothes. A pair of thick eyebrows frowned into eight figures, lining the already tough and rough face more and more dull and serious.

His steps were so fast that he had almost reached me, and I couldn't help but panic and hurriedly got up from the rocking chair.

"General Wen? Is there anything wrong with you—"

"—go in and talk."

After a short sentence, I hadn't woken up yet, but Wen Zhao didn't stop beside me, but walked straight into the room with a gust of wind. He was about to close the door with his backhand, but when he saw that I was stunned and didn't follow, he stared at him at a loss and stood in place, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked at me for a moment with the same gaze.

"What are you doing, come in!"

I came back to my senses, and I was a little suspicious for a while, thinking that he really didn't have a reason to hurt me, but saved my life in a sense. I had no choice but to let out a sigh and follow in.

"What's the matter with General Wen—"

"-What's going on, why haven't you left yet?"

I stayed where I was again, staring at Wen Zhao, who had slammed the door shut as soon as I entered, wondering what he was talking about.

Wen Zhao was panting, and seemed to be very complaining and puzzled about me. However, seeing that I was just staring at him in a daze, the anxiety in my eyes also transitioned to a stalemate of doubt.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you, you speak," Wen Zhao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my shoulder, shaking in infinite disbelief, "Are you really seriously injured, or have you been given some dangerous task by the Tail Sect that makes you have to stay here?" ”

“…… General Wen, what are you talking about? ”

The doubts flowing in Wen Zhao's eyes suddenly froze, I had never seen his appearance so closely, and for a moment I felt that this face seemed to have some familiar resemblance. His lips were half-open, and his eyebrows were raised in an exaggerated arc. After a long time, he took a light breath and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what do you call me?" ”

I'm stunned now.

Younger sister? He actually called me sister? I only know Hou Ye and Xunyue in this world, when did I have such a brother?

"Brother......?"

The moment the words were spoken, thousands of memories suddenly flashed through my mind like a lightning streamer. It's so real, but it clearly doesn't belong to me.

I suddenly came back to my senses and realized that the sister in Wen Zhao's mouth might not be me, but the original owner of the body I was boarding with, the girl who fell on Lianyue Mountain, dressed in dark green clothes and covered in bruises.

"Hey! Ling'er, what's wrong with you, why does my brother think you seem to be a little abnormal today...? ”

Ling'er, is this her name?

"You... Be...... Brother? ”

"Of course! Ling'er, what are you talking about, don't scare your brother! Wen Zhao seemed to be really in a hurry, and there was a flickering moistness in his eyes, "Are you uncomfortable?" Is it my ring dart... Or the poisoned arrow from a few days ago...... Is it something that hurts you, hurts your mind, that makes you speak so upside down? ”

I didn't know how to answer. Do you want to tell him? To tell him that the person who is now in front of him is not his sister, but the soul of another person from a distant planet?

No, of course not, this statement is so ridiculous that he can't understand it at all. But I am indeed not his lingling, and if I hide it, how long can I hide it......?

"Brother... Ling'er, it's me... I have amnesia......"

There was silence again, and I looked fixedly at the stunned, fearful, regretful, and resistive flashes in Wen Zhao's tearful eyes.

After a long time, he let go of his hands that were clinging to my shoulders, and his eyelashes flashed, and tears fell into two lines.

"What?"

"Brother, I don't know what's going on..."My mind was racing rapidly, trying to organize a logical and acceptable language for Wen Zhao, "Since I woke up on Lianyue Mountain that day, I can't remember most of the things clearly......"

"How so... Ling'er," Wen Zhao said bitterly, "Amnesia, isn't this a pretense for you to coax Hou Ye to leave you in this mansion, how can it be true?" Do you really not remember anything? ”

"I... No, brother, I still remember you. I suppressed my pity for the tall and muscular man in front of me, and made up words to ease his pain, "I remember that you were my brother. Remember, you've always been nice to me......"

"That night, you were severely injured by the masters of the rivers and lakes in the mansion, and you almost couldn't escape, so I protected you, and I was suspected of letting you be poisoned by the golden ring dart." Wen Zhao said with a face full of regret, "Now that I think about my brother, I really regret it, I thought that you knew that Xu Changqing on Lianyue Mountain could cure the poison of the golden ring, even if there was Xiaoyao's thief chasing after him, he could heal himself when he went up the mountain, who knew that you would ......"

"What...?" I asked in Wen Zhao's remorseful sigh, "Brother, what night are you talking about?" ”

"What other night, naturally it was the matter of you coming to the Hou Mansion to steal the treasure last month!" Wen Zhao didn't notice my shock, and continued, "At the foot of Lianyue Mountain that day, I noticed that you were behind the grass early in the morning, and I was puzzled in my heart at that time, how could you be so strong in your internal strength, how could you not control your breath so much. But I didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Yao was messing around, so I had to delay for you, but you didn't leave until he found out......"

I was stunned - Wen Zhao is the general of the Lifu Praetorian Guard, and Wen Ling is actually the female thief who came to Lifu to steal the treasure that night?

"Uh... I was seriously injured at the time, and I didn't know that there were antidote herbs on the mountain......" I was a little embarrassed, and I reluctantly coped, "So, brother, did you also throw the golden dart into my room that night?" ”

"Of course! I was really scared of you when I went back to the house, I thought that with your ability, you could easily get out as long as you woke up, but who would have thought that you would settle down in the house. And Xiaoyao is so fanning the flames, fortunately, Hou Ye has never had the slightest suspicion. There was unconcealed horror in Wen Zhao's tone, "In those days, my brother was really on pins and needles, for fear that you would be found out by Master Hou." I can't trespass into the inner garden, so I can only find an opportunity to sneak in, trying to remind you to get out quickly. But no matter how much I thought about it, I only thought that the Tail Sect had an order to let you stay, but where did I think that your situation would be like this......"

"Tail Sect...?" I was puzzled, "Brother, I still don't understand......"

"Ling'er, have you forgotten your identity as the owner of the Tail Sect Gangfeng Banner? You-"

"-No, brother, I mean, since we are brother and sister, and I have not been noticed by the Hou Ye as the identity of the treasure thief that night, and you are the general of the Tang Tang Lifu Janissaries, why don't you simply confess our relationship to the Hou Ye, wouldn't this be frank and happy, and the two are innocent?"

My last words were soft, and Wen Zhao's face was covered with a layer of cold ice.

I wondered how he had been so emotional since the first words he spoke to me, and how he could talk about this verse so tabooly. I fixed my eyes on him, but I saw that his face became more and more ugly, and even a little terrifying. I was a little stunned for a moment, and I didn't know what to say.

"Brother?"

"It's nothing, I'm just afraid that Master Hou will be suspicious, so I haven't dared to speak out." Wen Zhao was silent for a long time before he said, "The surname Wen is the surname of the former dynasty, and it is very taboo. Your brother has been unknown because of his surname Wen, and he has survived for many years, and he is still just a general of the Hou Mansion. What's more, you told Hou Ye early in the morning that your name is Lian... Lian Gui Ying, if you change your words and tell Hou Ye that your name is Wen Ling, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. ”

"But even so, Master Hou has always been open-minded and reasonable, how could he really be suspicious of me-"

"-Ling'er, don't talk about this anymore." Wen Zhao hurriedly interrupted, his tone was obviously impatient and resolute, "When I entered the mansion, I told Master Hou that I was an orphan of the common people's family at the beginning of the year, so I was fortunate to be adopted and cultivated by his old man's family. Now changing his words and confessing the relationship between you and me really damages the Hou Ye's trust in you and me. Listen to my brother, this matter doesn't need to be quiet, you and I know it. ”

I nodded ignorantly, but saw that Wen Zhao's smiling eyes seemed to slowly crawl out of the hideous bloodshots.

I looked at him as my pitch-black pupils, and I only felt that the darkness was slowly becoming cold and deep, spreading and pulling me into the endless side, and there seemed to be a chaotic noise in my ears, like the blades and artillery fire of war, and like the desperate cries of women and children. Distinguish in detail, but in any case it is not clear. Only Wen Zhao's eyes remained, and I seemed to be in the middle of it, unable to see the light again.
