Chapter 8: Telling the Truth
After a simple dinner in the house, the father and daughter entered Mu Qingyuan's study, Mu Qingyuan sat in front of his desk, and Mu Ziluo stood in front of him, Mu Qingyuan didn't know how to ask Mu Ziluo about it, and Mu Ziluo didn't know how to say it so as not to make her father feel scared.
"Father, what I said next is true, maybe a little bizarre, a little weird, but it's all real, are you ready?" Mu Ziluo looked at Mu Qingyuan worriedly, thinking about Mu Qingyuan's ups and downs after the joy and sorrow of being burned to death and waking up and resurrecting, whether he could still bear what she said.
When Mu Qingyuan heard him say this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiaoluo, you can wake up, do you know how happy your father is, my father has been looking forward to it for countless days, days, months, and months." Although, my father has also been disappointed countless times, your mother is dead, and you can't wake up. Mu Qingyuan said this, his voice choked, and then said: "After so many years, my father has survived, what else can my father not bear." My father doesn't believe that you are a demon at all, you are my daughter, and my father believes that there must be a reason why you are asleep. ”
Mu Ziluo's eyes were also a little red, and she walked over and gently hugged Mu Qingyuan's arm, with her head resting on his arm. She knew that no matter how rumored she was a demon who brought disaster to the country and the people, Mu Qingyuan was always good to her daughter, never disliked her, and complained about all the public opinion she brought to him, such a father, she was very distressed, and silently swore in her heart that no one could hurt her father in the future, and it was her turn to protect her father.
"Father, you guessed right, there is a reason why I can't wake up." Packing up her mood, Mu Ziluo still spoke lightly.
Mu Qingyuan's eyes widened, was it really as he guessed, what was the reason for the fall asleep. He looked at Mu Ziluo suspiciously, patted Mu Ziluo's little head leaning on his arm, and motioned for Mu Ziluo to continue.
"Actually, I haven't been asleep for the past fourteen years, or rather, I'm not completely unconscious, at least I don't think so, because I have lived with you as a soul for the past fourteen years, you can't see me, I can't touch you, since I was born, I am what I am now, of course, you can't see or hear." Mu Ziluo saw that her father was ready, and said slowly.
Hearing her say this, Mu Qingyuan was stunned, and his face was already so dull that he didn't even move his eyes.
He had thought of countless possibilities, the most likely was that Mu Ziluo was poisoned, but now he knew that it was not like that at all, what he thought was too simple, it was a surprising thing to exist with a soul for fourteen years, but this incident really happened to his daughter.
Letting go of her hand, Mu Ziluo walked to a chair next to her and sat down, brushed down her sleeves, put her hand on her lap, and looked at Mu Qingyuan.
After a while, Mu Qingyuan came back to his senses and said: "No wonder, no wonder, if this is the case, then you can explain it now, is it possible, this is a resurrection?" ”
It seems that he accepted what Mu Ziluo said, except for a short period of surprise, Mu Qingyuan was much calmer than Mu Ziluo imagined, after all, such a thing is difficult to accept.
"Father, you can't let a third person know about this matter, otherwise it will .....," Mu Ziluo suddenly said solemnly. The fact that she had existed as a soul for fourteen years was absolutely unusual, and the more people knew about it, the more dangerous it might be.
Mu Qingyuan got up from the bookcase, touched his chin, slowly paced in front of Mu Ziluo, and finally sat down on the chair next to her, he thought that his daughter didn't want anyone to know that there must be a reason for her, maybe there were other more serious things, and the daughter didn't say it.
Mu Ziluo looked at him like this, obviously had something important to say, and wanted to talk to her closely.
"Luo'er, do you know anything about you?" Mu Qingyuan leaned close to Mu Ziluo and whispered in his ear.
Mu Ziluo lowered her head and looked a little puzzled, her eyes rolled, and she said to Mu Qingyuan: "I don't know why this happened, father, but father, when I was just born, I cried, but I don't know why it was like that, I suspect that someone did something." ”
"Really, who the hell did such an abominable thing?" Mu Qingyuan said angrily to Mu Ziluo that when he thought that his daughter had been killed like that, he felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to find that person and cut him with a thousand knives.
"I feel that this matter is not simple, and the death of my mother, I feel that it has something to do with this matter, but at that time I was just born, except for crying, after that, I fell into a coma, and after waking up, I became a lonely soul, and my mother also died, how did my father and mother die?" Mu Ziluo frowned and continued to express what she was thinking.
"Your mother's ....." Mu Qingyuan heard Mu Ziluo mention his deceased wife, and murmured softly, as if he fell into memories again: "Your mother was pregnant with you for fourteen months before giving birth to you, although I don't know why this happened, I don't know what's going on, at that time, it was suddenly rumored outside that your mother was pregnant with a demon, and when I heard those rumors, your mother was in a very bad mood, I was dealing with those public opinions every day at that time, and I neglected your mother, and on the day she gave birth, I came back in a hurry from outside, She was dying by then... I only remember that your mother held my hand, only said sorry to me, told me not to dislike you, take good care of you, and then died. ”
Mu Qingyuan choked up and said these words, mentioning his deceased beloved wife, he was surrounded by layers of sadness, Mu Ziluo looked at his heart so painful, and he could see that his father and mother loved each other very much.
"Father, you still have me, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find out these things, don't worry." Mu Ziluo comforted Mu Qingyuan, in order to relieve Mu Qingyuan's mood, Mu Ziluo said playfully: "Father, you don't know, I used to follow you and send you to the court, and I also hid in your study to read. ”
"Is this true? Father is very happy, leave the matter of your sleep to your father to check, you just woke up, first have a good rest. "Yes, he still has a daughter, and he will cheer up for her sake, if someone really harms his wife and children, he will definitely not let that person go.
Mu Ziluo smiled and said: "Father, I will have a good rest, and I will never fall asleep again in the future, just like a normal person, you don't have to worry too much." It's the father that you should have a good rest, you have worked hard for your daughter for so many years. ”
"Father is not hard, okay, you go back to rest first, and tell your father if you need anything." Mu Qingyuan said with relief.
Mu Ziluo left Mu Qingyuan's study and walked towards her yard, the wind was a little strong along the way, blowing her hair up, and even the only few maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion left, and there was no one along the way. Before I reached the yard, I smelled the fragrance of exotic flowers and plants in the yard. In the distance, Ruri ran towards her with a cloak on her face.
"Miss, why did you come back by yourself, the slave was about to pick you up, it was windy at night, how could it be good to catch a cold." Ruri said as she draped her cloak over her, smiling and tying a bow on her chest.
"No, just a little way, I can do it myself." Mu Ziluo looked at the cloak on her body, pink, with a circle of gold-rimmed silk threads embroidered with flowers, it was really pink, her eyes were rolling, thinking about something thoughtfully.
