Chapter 10: The Truth?

From time to time, there is a fragrance of bamboo, and the moon is looking for a sparse shadow.

It was already midnight, and Su Lengjiu was still sitting alone on the small pavilion in the courtyard, holding a flute and playing.

Who is it every month? Why am I asking who she is again!

The sound of the song is long, neither sad nor joyful, not clear or heavy, like the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

Su Lengjiu tried not to think about it, but Hua Chenghan's unbeaten perfect face appeared in front of him from time to time. I don't know which brothel Oiran that Buyue is, is it good-looking? Do you turn Luanfeng upside down with that person every night?

Cuinong Jin Hairpin waited in the distance, stretching his neck to look, but he didn't dare to step forward. As soon as the young lady came back, she didn't talk to anyone, and she didn't eat dinner. From time to time, the flute in his hand blew two sentences, both of which were tunes that I had never heard at all.

Su Shiquan went to the banquet and returned home, and wanted to pass by Su Lengjiu's small courtyard to take a look, and saw Su Lengjiu blowing cold wind alone in a thick jacket.

A big hand stroked the back of Su Lengjiu's head, "Xiao Jiu, why don't you go into the house and sleep?" ”

Su Leng didn't answer for a long time, but put down the flute in his hand.

"Then I will be with you." Su Shiquan sat down beside her.

Su Lengjiu moved a little to the side and said, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"Who the hell am I?" Su Lengjiu stared directly at the moon in the sky, and there was a light flashing in his eyes. When he turned his head to look at Su Shiquan, his pupils were already a dark red like glass.

"As you know, I'm no longer human, but a blood demon." Su Lengjiu said.

Su Shiquan's gaze was complicated, avoiding her eyes.

"That was a long time ago." Su Shiquan said, "Why bother yourself. ”

"Why do I feel like I've been to the Qi Imperial Palace?" Su Leng asked for a long time.

"That's because," Su Shi looked stunned, blinking upwards as if to shed tears, "that was your home. ”

What do you mean? The original home?

"What did you say?" Su Lengjiu asked, "How is it possible?" ”

"Thou shalt not tell the word of what thou saith today." Soox Quan Dao. "I'm not your father, I'm your uncle. And you," Su Shiquan looked at Su Lengjiu, his eyes deep and invisible, as if he was instilling something in her, "You are the former Chu princess." ”

Fragments of memory gradually emerged in her mind, grinding her mind like shattered glass.

She saw her ten-year-old self playing hide-and-seek with her mother in the back garden of the palace, saw the eight-treasure lotus seed soup brought by Gonggong Xu from the imperial dining room, saw the kind man in the imperial study with a lamp and reviewed the recital, and a swallow flew in from the window and flew out again. And she was holding the small quilt on the man's lap, looking at the flickering lamp and drowsy. And the man in front of him is the uncle who is not smiling in his memory.

She suddenly saw her father's dying appearance again, like a sharp blade, stabbing Su Lengjiu's heart fiercely.

But other than that, memory is like a precise stuck point, and I can't remember anything else. Her memories seemed to have been torn apart, leaving only some residues, and she couldn't put them together. It's like being in a fog and someone lights a little candle for you, but you also see that the fog is thicker in the distance.

"Then tell me why I am the way I am."

"When you and Shiyu were fleeing, you were infected with the plague on the road, and you met a master who rescued you."

"Turned me into a vampire." Su Lengjiu sneered, "This can be regarded as saving me?" ”

"You know, every moment, I restrain the desire to kill, just so that I don't turn into a demon who has lost my humanity. But, do you know how hard it is....." Su Leng smiled for a long time and shed two lines of tears.

"Like now, I'm tempted to bite your throat off."

"I'm alive, I'm just suffering." Su Lengjiu's two sharp fangs were exposed, and they were lined with white by the moonlight.

Su Shiquan sighed. "So Shiyu, she would rather take you to Gusu from afar, and stay for seven years."

"So what did my mother want me to take?" Su Leng asked for a long time.

"That thing doesn't work now. Seyu is no longer there. Su Shiquan buried his face in his hands.

A few words are like five thunderbolts.

"She was discovered by the secret guards of the Qi State and has been killed." Su Shiquan said slowly. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep her."

"How is that possible! How could my mother be gone! She must be fine! Su Lengjiu's eyes were red, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the pavilion.

Led a horse casually from the stable, Su Lengjiu galloped away.

No one from the Su Mansion guards dared to ask more, and they opened the gate and let them go.

"Master, we couldn't stop her......"

"It's okay, she'll be back." Soox Quan Dao.
