Chapter 123: Father
There were some bumps on the road, Ouyang Zheng ordered to "go slowly", beat the horse to the car window, and knocked.
Huaxi didn't wake up, and the chief of the security guard, who was napping next to him, hurriedly came to the window, lifted the curtain and asked, "What do you command?" ”
"The girl is asleep?"
The chief of the security guard cautiously replied: "Well, I have been asleep, I haven't woken up, and I see that I am sleeping quite peacefully." ”
Ouyang Zheng glanced into the car, and through the dim light, he saw Huaxi sleeping soundly, and nodded: "You look at it carefully, you have something to say." ”
"Yes" The chief of the security guard lowered the curtain, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to look at Huaxi, helped tuck the quilt corners, and then sat back in his place.
Huaxi woke up and the carriage had already entered the city.
After returning to Cheng's mansion, Cheng Chong and Mu Xiangqing did not rest. As soon as Huaxi came back, Ouyang Zheng and Cheng Chong went to the front yard to talk, and Mu Xiangqing sent someone to invite the imperial doctor next door to come over and take a look at Huaxi's injuries.
Doctor Wang handled it in a timely manner and there was no major problem. Originally, he was going to prescribe external medicine, but after seeing Ouyang Zheng's medicine for Huaxi, he said that it was a tribute from southern Yunnan, and there was no need to change the first-class injury medicine, so he only prescribed two dietary prescriptions to nourish qi and nourish blood.
Mu Xiangqing kept guarding beside him and sent the imperial doctor away, before he took Huaxi's hand, touched her forehead and sobbed: "Hard-working child, frightened and injured...... Why don't you have long eyes, your mother's life is hard, so I hope you can live well, but I didn't expect ...... In the end, you've been sin like this. I should have sent more people with you. ”
Huaxi pulled out a weak smile and comforted Mu Xiangqing: "Auntie, I don't blame you for this, who could have predicted that he would be robbed halfway?" Now, I'm not coming back safely. Besides, the leg was accidentally injured by himself...... I was a little surprised, but I didn't even know who my captors were, and when I woke up, I was in a firewood house in a village outside the city. ”
Huaxi was stunned when she saw Mu Xiangqing, "Don't worry, Master Hou and they will check together."
Mu Xiangqing told her to rest, and told the maids to be vigilant at night and left.
After Mu Xiangqing left, the four personal maids all came to the house.
Mu Xi and Fang Ju cried hard, Chunying secretly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and Cui Ming knelt in front of Huaxi's bed, sobbing and complaining that she didn't use it. Huaxi comforted her twice, complained about her lack of words, and told them all to retreat to the outer room.
As soon as the person left, it was quiet.
Huaxi was lying on the bed, sleepless, secretly worried, it seems that my aunt doesn't know who did it, so the Hou Ye doesn't know the accident inside. The person Ouyang Zheng said was not his aunt.
So who else is there? Ouyang Zheng? Ji Xie? Faith King? The names of these three people kept flashing back and forth in Huaxi's mind. What is the connection between these three people? Why does your own business involve the king of faith?
Huaxi faintly felt that after tomorrow, her life was only afraid that it would no longer be peaceful......
The next day, Huaxi woke up early. When she came back last night, she couldn't get water because she was injured, so she only let Chunying and Fangju boil water to wipe her body, so as soon as she woke up, she called someone to boil water to wash her hair.
After washing, Huaxi used some rice porridge and lay down on the soft couch to read.
After the hour, the wood rhino brought two pots of crab claws from the flower house and came back. As soon as he entered the door, he told Huaxi that he had just passed by the second gate and heard the news from his mother-in-law that Ji Xie had come into the house to deliver southern goods, and he had gone to see Hou Ye and his wife.
Not long after, Mu Xiangqing's mother Wu came to pass the word.
“…… Ji Gong brought a lot of rare southern goods this time, which are exquisite. Some of them are to be transferred to the various provinces, and the lady specially said that they will be in your courtyard first. The slave and maid don't know the girl's preferences, plus there are a lot of things, and everyone at hand has a job, and the remaining few rough slaves and maids are not at ease, so this asked the lady, and the lady said to let the girl go to the house to get things directly in the north courtyard warehouse. ”
Just take something and send someone over to pass the word, but my aunt sent Wu's mother directly...... It's an excuse to spend everyone at once.
Huaxi asked, "I'm tired of Mother Wu's run." I asked Cui Ming, Chun Ying and Fang Ju to go with their mother, and the house left Mu Xi to watch, do you think it's okay? ”
What this means is to ask Mother Wu if this is okay?
Mother Wu nodded, "So that the envoy can't do without people in the girl's house, and the slave will lead people over now." ”
Huaxi called Cui Ming and left with Mother Wu.
Sure enough, after a while, Mu Xiangqing came over.
After serving tea, Huaxi sent the wood rhinoceros out.
Mu Xiangqing sat down next to Huaxi and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Huaxi, last time you said that someone in the shop inquired about your mother...... I originally thought it was someone from the Xiyue Mission, but later Hou Ye inquired privately and said that those two people were not the people accompanying the Xiyue Mission. Only today did I know that those two were sent by your father's opponent...... It's to find out about you. Yesterday's exile has to do with it......"
"Is my dad here?"
Mu Xiangqing paused, looking at Huaxi's pale and emaciated little face calmly like a pool of stagnant water, his heart ached, his sister and Huaxi's mother and daughter were all sinners because of this man, and it took more than ten years to come to confess their relatives, and they were afraid of being disappointed.
"Hey, if you don't want to see him today, I'll just go back."
Huaxi shook her head, "See, I want to see what the man my mother has been waiting for for more than a year looks like?" ”
Mu Xiangqing heard that Huaxi was resentful, sighed, and said, "He took the token given by the fourth sister back then...... I know that you also complain in your heart, why don't I hate him for losing the fourth sister, but after all, it is your father, and he is close to the bloodline...... Looking at the situation yesterday, I think he also has a hard time......"
"Aunt rest assured, Huaxi knows how to measure. Please ask my aunt to come in."
"Hmm" Mu Xiangqing went out.
Huaxi tried her best to keep herself calm, but after the door curtain was opened again, when she looked at the person who walked in, Huaxi was stunned, and it was not until the person came over and grabbed her hand that Huaxi came back to her senses.
Shaking off the hand of the visitor, Huaxi looked out the window with a different face, "How could it be you?" His Royal Highness King Shin"
"The first time I saw you, I thought you were kind...... I didn't expect you to be really my child and Zhenxian. When Zhenxian left me, I didn't know she was pregnant......"
I had long expected Huaxi's coldness, but after the meeting, Susukino Shin still couldn't help but feel sour.
Huaxi didn't speak, she didn't know how to face this sudden father, she didn't even dare to look at his face, to see his brown eyes that were the same as herself.
Susukino Shin didn't force her to speak, and looked at her quietly, "I was frightened yesterday." The people who kidnapped you were the subordinates of the former king's son, Susukino Heng. Fortunately, the people sent by Ji Xie have been following them all the time, and they have found a place to hold you. ”
"Ji Xie? Is he your man? ”
Huaxi finally talked to him, although there was only a cold sentence, but Susukino Shin felt that this was a good start, maybe things would not be as he thought, Huaxi would recognize him.
"No, he's not mine. He is the youngest grandson of the late Saiyue Zuoxian Wang's imperial uncle Susukino Makoto, his mother was the concubine of Zuoxian Wangshu, and his maternal grandfather was a great Chinese. Fifteen years ago, during the battle for the throne, the Ji family just left Xiyue to return to Dahua, and he was brought back to Dahua by his wife Ru, the young master of the Ji family, that is, his aunt. ”
After Susukino Shin finished explaining, Huaxi still looked out the window and didn't say anything more.
Susukino Shin continued: "Back then, I was sent by my father to Dahua to spy on the news, and met your mother, and then my father died suddenly, and urgently recruited me to go back to Xiyue. It was too late for me to rush back to Xiyue, and the eldest brother ascended the throne and relegated the second brother and me, who were supposed to inherit the throne, to Qingshiling in Wula Mountain. One pass is three years, I helped the second brother to escape by cheating, and I still stayed in Qingshiling. ”
"It wasn't until eight years ago that I communicated with Brother Erwang, and I asked him to inquire about Zhenxian, but what I got was that Zhenxian died violently in the second year after we were relegated to Wula Mountain. Five years ago, when the power of the second brother was consolidated, I came out of Qingshiling, and fought with him against the eldest brother for more than four years, and it was not until last year that I succeeded in taking the throne. On the way to Beijing this year, I received a message from Ji Xie, and I learned of your existence......"
Huaxi knew the history of Xiyue's seizure of power by the two kings, but he didn't know the inside story, and he didn't expect that his father would be Susukino Shin. Intellectually, she felt that she should forgive Susukino Shin, after all, the turmoil of the year caused the tragedy of a couple of lovers who ended up living and dying; But emotionally, she couldn't easily accept this father, a man who hurt her mother's heart, a relative who disappeared in her life for 14 years......
"Susukino has always wanted to reclaim the throne. This time, there was a traitor in the mission, and they didn't know about my relationship with you, but only guessed about the relationship between you and me, so they sent someone to Huaji to test it...... I promise that what happened last night won't happen again......"
After Susukino Shin explained, Huaxi still didn't move.
Susukino Nobu sighed, "...... I was frightened by what happened last night...... It's also my fault that you've been lonely for so many years. Can you give me a chance that I will make it up to you in the future? ”
Huaxi turned his head and looked at Susukino Shin for the first time, Huaxi suddenly didn't dare to look at the face that was five points similar to himself, lowered his head and staggered his expectant gaze, and said: "Well, in terms of blood, you are my father, but in fact, you were still a stranger to me before the Douxiang Meeting." Mother and you are deeply in love, she waited for you for so many years, and finally died depressed. Even if there are a thousand reasons, that is the explanation you owe your mother. You don't owe me anything......"
"No, it's not. I have failed Zhenxian, and I can't leave you alone anymore. I don't ask you to recognize me, as long as you will let me take care of you. At this time, Susukino Shin didn't have a bit of a prince's frame, he was completely a father begging his daughter for forgiveness, and he looked anxious, for fear that Huaxi would refuse his request.
Hua Xidi sighed, "Hey, I can't get used to it for a while......"
Susukinoshi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry...... Having said so much today, you are also tired. You rest first, and I'll come back to see you another day. ”
Huaxi didn't squeak and nodded lightly.
It's been sent, and it will be repaired tomorrow~~
