Chapter 66: The Past
"Master, after studying with you for so many years, I have never heard you talk about yourself, the world only knows Mr. Xuanji, but I don't know his identity and origin, who are you? Why do you know this? Lin Qingzhi's expression was cold, and her eyes stared deeply at the white-robed old man in front of her.
"My real name is Su Li, when I was a teenager, I was determined to do a big career, because I showed excellent qualifications at the age of five, and was selected by the Huashan faction to practice martial arts, ten years has allowed me to rank first among the young generation of Huashan, but I am not satisfied, I feel that it is not interesting to practice all day long, so I quarreled with the master arrogantly, and ran away in a negative mood, but I don't know that there is no shortage of martial arts wizards in the martial arts. I was defeated by one person, and they were defeated by their joint attack, but they were not relieved, so they broke one of my legs, sealed my Qi Jing Eight Pulsations, and it was your mother Xiao Xiwen who saved me and brought me back to Xiao's house. Elder Xuanji's eyes were distant and melancholy.
"Later, after I recovered from my injuries, I felt that I had no shame to go back to the master, so I stayed in the Xiao Mansion as a guard, and was responsible for protecting your mother in order to thank her for saving her life. Seeing that she and Lin Chengde made a promise to each other, although they were unwilling, they could only bless, one day the emperor at that time, that is, your biological father, suddenly visited the Xiao Mansion, and the women who were not out of the palace did not need to meet the guests, but at that time, Xiao Jingjiao said that your mother Xiao Xiwen and Xiao Hechang were good at the piano and flute, so they called the two of them to play the ensemble, and specially instructed people to ask Xiwen not to be rude when he saw the emperor, to dress up, and cherish the beauty of the text, but he was simple-minded, and he was naturally as beautiful as a fairy under the dress, and he couldn't take his eyes off it when he saw it. And although Hechang is not as good as Xiwen, but she is flexible, she knew her brother Xiao Jingjiao's intentions at once, so she did not dress up, and even appeared in front of the emperor in front of the ugly, Xiwen was not an accident that your father took a fancy to it, so she took it back to the palace and was named the imperial concubine. Elder Xuanji said leisurely, everyone has a memory, which is the most precious thing in this life.
"Three years, I was uninhibited by nature, naturally did not want to stay in the palace all my life, so I traveled abroad, but also devoted myself to the practice of martial arts and medical skills, a few years later, I returned to the capital, I wanted to go to the hometown of Xiao Mansion again, but unexpectedly to my surprise, in the dark night I saw many people in Xiao Mansion walking back and forth in a hurry, so I went to the roof of Xiao Jingjiao's study, with my cultivation to hide the traces of the breath is not difficult, so I heard their plan to plot a rebellion. My first thought was to inform Xiwen and take her out of the palace. But when I saw her tell her this, she seemed to have known that Xiao Jingjiao would do this, and she was unwilling to go with me, because she couldn't let go of you and your brother. Later, Xiao Jingjiao was killed in the palace, your father and brother were killed, and I rescued Xiwen in the chaos, but you were rescued by Lin Chengde. Elder Xuanji told about the events of the year, although Lin Qingzhi was very reluctant to imagine it, but this was his own life experience, and he could not escape it.
"Later, in order to have a reason to get close to you, I entered the Lin Mansion as a wandering doctor, gained Lin Chengde's trust, and supported him to replace you with Lin Qingzhi." After Elder Xuanji finished speaking, the room was as quiet as if it were still.
After a while, Lin Qingzhi chuckled lightly and said, "So you saved my mother, but you used her to harm my adoptive father?" Should I thank you, Master? ”
"Although Lin Chengde didn't directly kill your father and brother, he killed your other blood relatives in the palace, and he was also your indirect enemy, and he abandoned his old love and teamed up with Xiao Jingjiao to almost kill you and your mother!" Elder Xuanji's eyes suddenly turned fierce and said loudly.
"But he has raised me for more than ten years and regarded me like a jewel, and all this is because you used my mother and killed him!" Lin Qingzhi struggled to get up, her body trembled, and her eyes were as pale as knives.
"If Xiao Jingjiao really trusts him, he won't be provoked by me, in the final analysis, it was the ungrateful emperor who wanted him to die!" Elder Xuanji said firmly, word by word.
"For so many years, you have called your father brothers, but you stabbed him at the most important moment, Master, is this what you call affection? You are just doing this to push the Lin clan under the butcher's knife, deepen my hatred for Xiao Jingjiao, and come to revenge your obsession with you. Lin Qingzhi squinted at Elder Xuanji, who was sitting on the side, with a sad face, and said in a mocking voice.
"In order to restore the Li family, what is this sacrifice, don't forget that you have the blood of the Li family in your body." Elder Xuanji said lightly.
"Then the child in my womb, in your eyes, Master, is just a small section that needs to be sacrificed in order to achieve great things, right? Whether I agree or disagree, you're determined to do what feels right to you, right? Lin Qingzhi knew that it was pointless to say more, so she could only do her best to save the child in her womb, adjusted her ups and downs, looked at the gray sky outside the door, and said indifferently.
A trace of unnatural embarrassment flashed on Elder Xuanji's face, and then he said, "Yes, I have worked hard for so many years, and it can't be in vain. ”
"If you want my support, you can, I just ask Master to promise that you will never hurt the child in my womb, although he has the blood of the Xiao family in his body, but he is my own, if he encounters an accident, I will never survive, and then I will lose everything." A bitter and faint smile crossed Lin Qingzhi's lips.
Elder Xuanji stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
"Then if nothing happens, the apprentice will retire." Lin Qingzhi's face was as pale as snow, and she said lightly.
When he walked out of the courtyard gate, the sky was already dark, the cold wind hit the chest, and the chill invaded the skin pores through the cloak and dress, Lin Qingzhi's body shook violently like a willow branch swaying violently in the wind, as if it was about to be blown off by the wind at any time, her face was red because of the violent cough, and a few tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes because she coughed too much. Xiao Mufeng and Elder Xuanji, who heard the voice, also raised their hearts when they saw Lin Qingzhi's appearance, so Elder Xuanji motioned to Xiao Mufeng to help Lin Qingzhi into the hall to do a good job, stretched out two fingers on Lin Qingzhi's wrist, closed his eyes and groaned, and only after a while did he open his eyes solemnly and said: "Your mood has fluctuated too much recently, and you have consumed too much energy and physical strength, and the fetal image is already unstable, can you keep ......?"
"Please be sure to protect him, you know that with your medical skills, you can definitely protect him!" Lin Qingzhi didn't wait for Elder Xuanji to finish speaking, and eagerly grabbed the latter's sleeve and pleaded.
"For the teacher, I will write that the above son will order Changshan to take good medicine and send it to Xinyiwu, you take it on time, it is advisable to rest for some time, don't think too much, otherwise even if you are a teacher and rejuvenate, you will not be able to save the son in your womb."
Lin Qingzhi bowed her head thoughtfully, and then the maid brought a bowl of bird's nest to eat, rested for a while, and then slowly walked back to Xinyiwu along the road she had come from with Murong Qing.
