Chapter 108: The Yellow Sparrow is especially behind him
Mei Xuanzhi was so shocked that the blood in her body seemed to freeze, and her voice hesitated for the first time, "What did you hear?" β
"Heh......"
Ji You chuckled, her attitude was lazy and elegant, and her eyes were affectionate and soft, but they flashed with a strange and sharp smile-
"As the daughter of General Liu, you must be looking forward to Emperor Zhaoyuan's death every day, right?"
This sentence was like a boulder falling to the ground, and with a bang, Mei Xuan's chest was shaken, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold, "What are you talking nonsense?!" β
Ji You stared at her with a smile, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and what remained in the end was pure gentleness.
He sighed softly, and spoke again, but it was an earth-shattering shockβ
"The reason why you are so adamantly denying your identity is because ...... Your father, Yanagihara, assassinated my father and two uncles many years ago with dove poison. β
Mei Xuanshi's slightly trembling hand froze at this moment.
All the blood faded from her cheeksβso pale and gray, as if all the blood in her body was frozen at this moment.
"You ......"
She opened her lips, but she didn't know what to say, her heart was full of confusion, full of "He knows!" β
He finally knew!
At this moment, Mei Xuanzhi lowered his head dejectedly.
On the side of the tall building, the night wind blew coldly, and the burnt ash mixed with heat came to the eyes, and the sky-high fire pierced the corners of the eyes, and there were screams and screams of palace maids far or near in the ears...... However, all this was only a fleeting light, and it did not leave the slightest ripple in her heart.
Mei Xuanzhi slowly closed her eyes.
Liu Yuan, the general who protects the country, has a large number of military power in his hands, and it is really a pillar of the sky for the Ji family, who is in turmoil and has only a few states in hand.
More than ten years ago, the Ji family had no children, and it was customary to select talents from among the direct brothers. Yanagihara covered the sky with one hand in the Ji dynasty, and he changed the heir of the other line of the Ji family as the crown prince, which caused all the brothers and sisters of Emperor An at that time to be deeply dissatisfied, and the whole heaven was full of discussions.
In the face of the opposition of the imperial minister, Yanagihara was indifferent, and in the next few months, Emperor An's three siblings died one by one, and the causes of death seemed to be different, but they were also slightly strange.
Mei Xuan's heart is bright - as early as two years ago, when she first entered the palace and happened to meet the beautiful woman in palace costumes, she knew this.
Himeyu, my father, Yanagihara, assassinated your father and two uncles with dove poison many years ago.
From the first day she met him, this terrible secret was buried in her heart, and she didn't want to think about it, and she didn't dare to think about it.
"You...... I actually know. β
In a trance, she heard her own voice, stranger with a biting loneliness and coldness, but terrifyingly calm.
Ji You looked at her, and the sparkle in her eyes made her feel sad-
"I only found out half a year ago."
He looked at her and said slowly: "It turns out that Mei Xuan, who has the reputation of 'dying for money', is actually the daughter of Yanagihara, who was born in a wealthy merchant family in the legend. β
The voice was flat, without any sense of gnashing her teeth, but Mei Xuanshi's heart trembled, and unprecedented sourness and anger entangled her heart.
"You make all kinds of gorgeous clothes out of snow satin, and you usually get angry even if I touch it more, but I never thought that you would actually do such a big thing."
Why is his tone so light-hearted, and why is he still smiling?!
Mei Xuanzhi only felt that her chest was blocked, and the water vapor in front of her eyes came up, she glared at Ji You fiercely, biting her lip and bleeding, "Are you laughing at me?" β
"Hah...... You are quick to do and well versed in world affairs, and you can do this to the point that you are more than me. β
Ji You stepped forward slowly, stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hold her as usual, but she slapped his hand away - Mei Xuanzhi's eyes flashed with a sad cold light, and he whispered: "Do you want to avenge your father?" β
"Of course."
answered without hesitation, why did she turn the last trace of illusion in her heart into powder?
Her voice became sharper and sharper, and her chest was so suffocated that she almost became hoarse, "My father is dead, you can come at me!" β
"You go and report to the emperor, I used poison powder, and the whole palace was killed and injured - in this way, your father's revenge will be avenged!"
A gentle and generous palm landed on her head, and then, he rubbed it dotingly and slightly playfully, causing her neat and gorgeous high bun to fall apart.
"Why do you want to report it-although you did something stupid, but the invincible Emperor Zhaoyuan should also suffer a little!"
Mei Xuanzhi looked up in amazement, and what caught her eyes was Ji You's not very serious smile - but it was unprecedentedly deep and dark.
"If I want to avenge my father, I shouldn't have sought you."
He paused for a moment and said word by word: "Because, the father of both of us is just a pawn in someone's hand, and once it loses its use value, there is only a dead end." β
His voice was low and solemn, and even the smile on his lips could not be reflected in his eyes.
He rubbed Mei Xuan's hair again, completely making her cloak her hair out, "You can stop in moderation, don't look for Emperor Zhaoyuan's bad luck, you want to find the enemy who killed your father, don't find the wrong person!" β
Mei Xuanzhi was stunned, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture.
"You...... What did you say? β
Ji You kindly closed her jaw for her, and said, "I mean, although your father died under the army of Emperor Zhaoyuan, the real murderer of him was not Qin Yu. β
"If you think about it carefully, your father has the name of 'Undefeated Myth', but in just a few days, he was defeated by a fledgling leader of the rebel army, is this too sudden and too strange?"
Mei Xuanzhi listened to his words, her heart was in turmoil for a while, and the ghost sent her gods, she remembered her father's unwilling roar before he died-
"If there is no fog that covers the sky and the sun, how can our army be in chaos?!"
Her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a key point, but she couldn't say anything concrete.
"Is it foggy?"
Ji said slowly: "Although my father is from the royal family, he is also a strong martial artist, if it weren't for the sudden frost that fell that night, causing his feet to slip, the assassin sent by your father would not have been able to kill him at all." β
The sky was dark, the smoke gradually dissipated, Mei Xuanzhi couldn't care about anything, only his calm and wise whisper in his ear, "The cause of their death has a common and wonderful feature - it seems that God is playing tricks on them......"
Mei Xuanzhi couldn't hold back the trembling all over her body anymore, and shouted, "It's the sorcerer, it's the sorcerer's ghost, right?!" β
Ji You nodded slightly, approached her, and pulled her into his arms, "It's the same force...... So, we're really the unlucky ones who share the same path. β
"Who is it...... Who the hell?! β
"Have you ever heard of Qingyun Zhai?"
