Chapter 9: The Little Prince of Huai'an (3)
After midnight, it's a new day.
Xiao Di explained the identity of Princess Chu in a few words, but after Xiao Yun completely understood what he meant by these words, he once felt that his brother was crazy.
He paced back and forth in the room several times, and then sat down again with the table, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
"Brother, even if I'm the one who bears the guilt, you can't fool me like this, right?" His facial features were so entangled that just saying this felt that it was nonsense: "This ...... What kind of resurrection and rebirth from the corpse is simply something that only exists in the book! β
"Not really." Xiao Di said: "It's only because you grew up by my side since you were a child, and I didn't touch these in the past, so you also think these are ridiculous words." β
But in reality?
Out of the palace of the king of Chu, up to the palace gate, down to the people's homes, which room can't open a few books of gods and monsters? This study of Xuanmen mathematics, from the Great Liang to the Zhou State, has already become a national science for hundreds of years.
Xiao Yun frowned, and after a long time, he raised his eyes and asked him, "Then now you believe it again?" β
Xiao Di was silent for a moment.
The shadow of mercy suddenly appeared in his mind, and he thought: Is it true that he only believes it now?
"I've always believed it." After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "I just don't like to touch these things." β
After a pause, he did not forget to solemnly instruct Xiao Yun: "You can't touch it either." β
Xiao Yun nodded confusedly, and after a while, he began to shake his head again.
ββ¦β¦ I still can't believe it. He asked, "Brother, how can you be sure that she must be Pei Yaowei?" What is the evidence? β
Is there any evidence......
The old handwriting, the deliberate disguise, the friendship with Wen Lian's 'old friend', and even her special concern for Xiao Yun.
When the fog cleared, he thought back to the past, and many of the inconspicuous details of the past were now the clues to piece together the truth. It's just that if he really wants to say any conclusive evidence, he can't come up with anything other than that note.
"Lou Zhen hasn't come back yet, and I don't know anything more." He said: "But she is Pei Yaowei, there is no doubt about it." β
Xiao Yun looked at him steadily, for a moment, and sighed heavily.
This was the first time he saw the emotional stubbornness on the face of this brother who was like a sky.
This emotion made him more like a mortal, but it was also very likely that it would drag him into danger.
"What about her?" "How did she explain it herself?" he asked. β
Hearing this, Xiao Di's face relaxed, looked at him, and said casually: "Oh, speaking of this, after I came back from the south, I lost my memory, and Wu Yao didn't remember anything after nineteen years, so I didn't have time to pierce this layer of window paper with her." β
Xiao Yun blinked.
"As for youβ" Xiao Di touched his chin and looked at him, "Do you want to know that I have amnesia, or do you want to know that I have amnesia?" β
Xiao Yun was quiet for a while, turned sideways, and drank several hot teas in succession, then looked at him again and asked sincerely: "...... Do you have amnesia? β
The person on the other side raised his eyebrows very lightly, "What do you say?" β
Xiao Yun poured another cup of tea.
This night, he was about to scratch the top of his head bald, "Then can I ask, what are you trying to do?" β
Xiao Di put his hands in front of his knees, compared to Xiao Yun's irritability, he really seemed a little too leisurely.
He Shi Shiran told Xiao Yun: "Because I don't know anything about the current situation, now, I have handed over all the government affairs in the palace to her." β
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, followed the turn of his mind, and immediately understood.
But after understanding, he was stunned again, staring at his brother for a long time, and his eyes became more and more complicated.
"Brother, you like her so much? Believe in her so much? He couldn't tell whether he was more confused or more emotional at the moment, but he felt: "I think you really have amnesia - just impartially, and you can forget the years when you fought with her to the death!" β
Xiao Di didn't care about his questioning at all, and glanced at him with a 'you don't understand' look, and the whole person was full of self-satisfied joy.
Xiao Yun had never seen him like this.
- Maybe I've seen it too, a long, long time ago, when I don't remember.
At this moment, the doubts in his heart were suppressed. He thought, if his brother can always be so happy, then he will be reincarnated, and he will be reincarnated.
"Brother, you're so weird." After a while, he sighed: "In the past few years, everyone thinks that you like Pan Tian......"
Before the words fell, he was simply vetoed by Xiao Di.
"It's not." He said: "The person in my heart has always been Pei Yao. It's just that in the past, I didn't think I still had a chance to put this 'like' under the sun. β
"But it's different now."
She's back.
What else do you dare not admit?
This night, Xiao Yun and Xiao Di chatted until nearly five watches, and then took a nap in the side hall for a while. Early in the morning, Instant Rain came to ask An to serve, and secretly asked Xiao Di, Xiao Di told her that he successfully deceived Xiao Yun last night, and that kid didn't know about his amnesia, so he told her to be vigilant and don't miss it.
Instant Rain consciously shouldered a heavy responsibility and responded seriously, not realizing that when he turned around, the light smile on his master's face.
At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yun got up, washed up and had a few mouthfuls of breakfast, then inquired with his subordinates about the direction of the Hebi Palace, and walked away.
The Hebi Hall is the main hall of the princess, and the Yuguang Palace is located on the central axis of the palace at the same time, one in front and one behind, and the interval is very close. However, Xiao Yun came out of the Yuguang Palace, and made a big turn in a daze, stretching the distance of 100 steps to 1,000 steps, and seeking the distance from the near to the far.
On the way, there is a trail with red plums planted on both sides, and it is the time when it blooms at its strongest. The dazzling red made him trance-like for no reason, and suddenly, he thought of the night in the second year of Yan Ping, King Qi's mansion-
It's the middle of winter, it's the same, it's full of red. The difference is that what crashed into his eyes that night was not the splendid and colorful red plums, but the ...... Blood.
In the palace of the king of Qi, the blood of loyal servants and the blood of the dead was effectively loyal to the blood of his brother Xiao Huan, who intended to snatch his life at the hands of the assassins.
Also, the woman's blood.
ββ¦β¦ Little boy, little boy, the old slave is incompetent, I'm afraid I can't protect you! You've hidden, don't make a sound! If you can escape this catastrophe, you will go to the north and find His Royal Highness the King of Chu! If you can't ......"
In the dark night, there was snow and blood outside the house.
There were fighting sounds all around the dormitory, and you couldn't rush out. The old butler shoved the nine-year-old into the dark compartment under the bed with his old trembling hands. Through the light outside, Xiao Yun could see that there was an unwilling and desolate light in his eyes, so tenacious, and suddenly, he thought of an idiom that his brother had just taught him a few days ago - jade is burned.
The old butler withdrew his gaze from the direction outside the hall, and the moment it fell on him, it was fragile again.
Little master! He thought, this is the last bloodline of the Qi Wangfu, he is favored by the old prince, can't he even protect this last little master?
Is it really impossible to protect it?
It's true......
Suddenly, his face itched, and he lowered his head to look, but it was the little master who held a pair of white and tender paws and grabbed his gray beard.
"Butler, you say, if you can't-" Xiao Yun opened his eyes that looked like Xiao Huan, and asked him puzzledly, "If you can't, what?" β
The old butler tilted his head and closed his eyes fiercely.
He touched the knife on the ground and held it tightly in his hand, but with his other hand, it gently stroked the little master's head.
"If you can't, don't be afraid." He said: "If you can't, then we will be reunited at that end up and down the Qiwang Mansion, Gongzi, don't be afraid......"
Xiao Yun doesn't remember himself at that time, whether he is afraid or not.
He only remembered that after the old butler had said this, he closed the compartment and left him alone in the small and dark compartment.
He could hear the loud and chaotic sounds outside, accompanied by screams and screams of pain, and after a long time, these voices gradually disappeared again, replaced by heavy footsteps.
He wanted to push away the hidden compartment and poke his head out to take a look, but the old butler told him to hide it and not to come out no matter what.
When the dark compartment was opened, he was bored and almost fell asleep.
"Butler! You-"
The immature child's voice came to an abrupt end, and in the light of the torch, Xiao Yun could clearly see the face of the person who had lifted the dark gridβit was a fierce face, with ugly scars on it, and red blood.
Xiao Yun was a little unhappy, but before he could lose his temper, the fierce man in front of him suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
The man reached out and grabbed him by the back of his placket and slipped him out of the dark grid.
"Hahahaββ! The little prince of Qiwangfu has fallen into the hands of Lao Tzu! When Lao Tzu goes down, he will be added to the rank and knight, and he will be prosperous and rich, and he will be Lao Tzu! β
This person's voice was not good, Xiao Yun was uncomfortable by him, Yuxue's cute little face was wrinkled, she kicked her legs in the air, and shouted in her mouth: "Big man!" Put me down! I don't want to play with you! Chamberlain! Where's the housekeeper! I'm looking for a housekeeper! I'm looking for my brother! β
The more he shouted, the more anxious he became, and his little head became confused - he forgot that before, the housekeeper had told him that his brother, His Royal Highness King Qi Xiao Huan, would never come back.
"Looking for whom? Looking for a brother? The big man's laughter became louder and louder, and the people around him also laughed.
"Little boy! Don't worry, Lao Tzu came here today and was ordered to send you to see your brother! As for the butlerβ"
The big man said, thought about it, and carried him out of the door in this posture.
The little boy has been raised with thousands of dignity until now, and this is the first time that he has been thrown to the ground from the air.
Xiao Yun shouted 'ouch' twice, rubbed his arms, and tears fell from the ground.
The snowflakes were sent to his shirt by the cold wind, causing him to shiver.
A wet knife came to the side of his neck, and slowly led him to turn his headβ
The big man smiled and said, "Little boy, open your eyes and see, which one here is your butler?" β
