Linghu Yuan led Ruyi to the study, took out the painting from the dark box, Ruyi looked at the woman in the painting for a while, and blurted out: "This is not me." ”

Ling Huyuan looked at Ruyi with a smile, "Yes, she is not you, but she should be your mother." ”

"No way, my mother is not like this, is it what she was like when she was young?"

"No matter how much people's appearance changes, it can't be a world of difference. Ahn is not your biological mother. Have you never doubted it? ”

Ruyi looked at Ling Huyuan with some confusion, "The villagers do say that I don't look like my mother, so who is my mother?" ”

"You really don't remember at all?"

"I remember telling you that there was a fire in my house, and I don't remember anything before the fire." Ruyi asked hesitantly, "Do you know my mother?" How can I be sure that it must be my mother, maybe she just looks like it? ”

"Your mother is Linyue, the princess of Wei, the sister of the current king, and my father saved your mother and daughter when there was a fire, but then they were separated. Do you have a crescent-shaped jade pendant? Ling Huyuan's deep voice was eloquent, with a hint of sadness.

Ruyi took off the jade pendant that he had been wearing close to his body from his neck, and it was indeed an emerald green crescent-shaped jade pendant with excellent color. Ling Huyuan took the jade pendant, looked at it and said, "This jade pendant was given by my father when your mother got married. I hope your mother will always have a big smile on her face. ”

Ruyi vaguely felt that there were a lot of secret pasts in this, but it was difficult to ask. But she had too many things to ask, so she had to interrupt Ling Huyuan's recollection, "Then who is my father?" You won't be my brother, will you? ”

Ling Huyuan smiled when he heard this, "I wish I could be your brother." Ling Huyuan paused and continued, "Your father is the former king of Qi. ”

Ruyi was speechless for a long time in shock, but he didn't expect this Ruyi to have such a tortuous life experience. Although she was in the Wei State, she had also heard about the Qi State. Her uncle killed her father and usurped the throne, and the queen fled the palace with her and her brother. Unconsciously Ruyi seemed to be immersed in those scenes, thinking about the first tingling and dizziness, and then he didn't know anything.

Ling Huyuan hurriedly caught Ruyi's limp body, and shouted at a loss, "Ruyi, Ruyi, what's wrong with you?" He shouted outside the door, "Fu Jiu, go and get a doctor." Qiushuang, go and ask Aunt An to come over. As he spoke, he picked up Ruyi, walked to the couch in the inner room, gently put Ruyi on it, and took out a blanket to cover her. Ling Huyuan looked out of the door anxiously, feeling annoyed for a while, blaming himself for being too anxious.

After a while, the doctor came to check the pulse and said, "The girl is nothing serious, but her heart and pulse are disordered, which may be caused by some stimulation." It would be nice to prescribe a few pairs of calming medicines. After that, he wrote a prescription and handed it to Fu Jiu a few days before the case, and said with some hesitation, "The girl seems to have some old diseases, the girl's blood is blocked, and she may have suffered a head injury, and there are blood clots in it." ”

"That might be a cure?" Ling Huyuan asked eagerly.

"This old man didn't dare to say anything, so he could only try his best."

As he was talking, Qiushuang led An Shi to hurry over, and An Shi walked quickly to the front of the collapse, looking at Ruyi worriedly. Seeing this, Linghu Yuan comforted, "Auntie, don't worry, the doctor has seen that it is fine, and it will be fine to take the medicine and sleep." ”

Hearing this, An Shi found that Ling Huyuan was also in the house, got up to salute, and asked, "General, this is so good, what's wrong with Ruyi?" ”

Ling Huyuan was not in a hurry to answer, and instructed Fu Jiu to lead the doctor to prescribe and grab the medicine. After watching the people in the room retreat, he replied, "I told her about her background." ”

An Shi chuckled in her heart, a heart up and down didn't know what to do, she looked at Ling Huyuan, there was a little familiarity between her eyebrows, and a heart gradually calmed down. Ann understands that it is impossible to let Ruyi live an ordinary life, maybe this is really providence!

An Shi eased his mind and said, "I don't know what the relationship between the general and General Linghuda is?" "My aunt guessed right, it's my father." Ling Huyuan did not shy away from saying. Ling Huyuan was entrusted by his father and also had many questions to ask, "Auntie, I don't know where the eldest princess has gone, my father is very worried. ”

An Shi looked at this similar eyebrows and felt sad for a while, if the princess had left with the general, maybe she would not have died. "When the general saved the princess and Ruyi from the fire, the princess she was afraid of affecting the general, so she quietly left with Ruyi and me, Ruyi was unconscious at that time, the princess was worried about working day and night, and she was displaced, and soon she was infected with typhoid fever." Ann said with a whimper.

Ling Huyuan didn't feel good when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "It's not early, auntie, go back and rest, I'll guard Ruyi here." Linghu Yuan instructed Qiushuang to send An Shi back to rest, and he stayed on the edge of Ruyi's collapse and stayed sleepless all night.

Ruyi seems to have returned to her childhood in her dreams, and her mother sang lullabies to put herself to sleep, but her mother's face couldn't see anything clearly. In the dream, there seems to be a father and an elder brother, both of whom love themselves very much, but everyone's faces cannot be seen clearly. In the end, Ruyi sat in the empty hall and cried.

When Ruyi woke up, there were still tears on her face, and her heart was sour. She turned her head and saw Ling Huyuan lying on the edge of the collapse and falling asleep. She remembered, as soon as she moved, Ling Huyuan woke up, and when he saw that Ruyi woke up, his heart was relieved, and he said with a smile, "Are you awake?" Feeling better? ”

Ruyi nodded and said softly, "Much better." "I want to eat something. I asked them to boil some porridge. Saying that, Linghu Yuan instructed Chunyu to bring the boiled porridge.

Ruyi wanted to sit up and eat by herself, Ling Huyuan hurriedly held her down, "You are just right, you still need to rest, I will feed you." As he spoke, he took the bowl, scooped up a spoonful and blew it, and brought it to Ruyi's mouth. Ruyi had no choice but to open his mouth to eat the porridge, the porridge was very soft and glutinous, it should have been boiled for a long time, and there was a hint of sweetness, which was very refreshing. Ruyi ate more than half a bowl, but I couldn't eat it.

"General, I'm full." "Don't call me a general in the future, just call me by my name, you can sleep again, I'll be in the outer study, and call me if you have something." I'll bring it to you when the medicine is ready. As he spoke, he got up and covered up the corner for Ruyi, and went out.

Ruyi looked at his back and didn't know what to say, the myriad thoughts in his heart had not been sorted out, and he was dizzy for a while when he thought about it, and gradually fell asleep.

It was almost noon when Ruyi woke up again, and Ling Huyuan heard the movement, and hurriedly sent the medicine in to help Ruyi eat the medicine. At this time, Xia He also helped An Shi to come over to see Ruyi. An Shi watched Ruyi wake up, and a hanging heart was put down.

Linghu Yuan saw that the mother and daughter had something to say, so he got up and said, "I'll go to the martial arts field to practice swords, you can talk slowly, Xia He, you can stay and serve the girl." I asked Qiushuang to arrange another girl for my aunt. Ahn leaned over and saluted, "Thank you, General." ”

When everyone left, Ruyi hurriedly took An's hand and asked, "Mother, what's going on?" ”

"Well," Ahn said slowly, sighing, "what the general said is true. I am not your mother, your mother was originally the princess of Wei, married to the king of Qi, and then the younger brother of the king of Qi usurped the throne, and the princess fled back to Wei with you and her son, but then the palace went to water, and the general Ling Huda, that is, the father of the young general, saved your mother and daughter and me out. You were unconscious at the time, and the princess was afraid of causing trouble to the general, so she insisted on taking you away quietly, and later unfortunately contracted typhoid fever. An choked and wiped his tears, "I am your mother's personal maid since childhood, your mother treats me like a sister, and then with you I became your nurse, your mother entrusted you to me before she died, I hope I will take you to live an ordinary life, and don't get involved in the battle of the royal family again, Ruyi, now it's up to you to choose, as long as you say you don't want to stay, we will leave, I will go and talk to the general." ”

Ruyi listened to An's words in a daze, she always felt that there were many loopholes in the previous paragraph, such as where did her brother go, how did they live in Wei, why did the palace go to water, why did the general save them, and why did her mother say that she was afraid of affecting the general, is this all the so-called royal battle of the mother? Ruyi was conflicted in her heart, whether she would listen to her mother's words, stay away from this struggle and live an ordinary life, or go to uncover this mystery.

In her heart, she doesn't want to get involved in this history too much. But maybe I really didn't come here for no reason. Ruyi remembers that the identity of the person in the portrait with a similar face to herself in the exhibition is the princess, and when she first wore it, she felt that the name had not changed, and the appearance had not changed, it was just a coincidence, and now even the identity is matched, I am afraid that there is something to do with it. Ruyi thought about it, had a headache, and fainted again.

An's hurriedly asked Xia He to call the doctor, but the doctor only said that the old disease had recurred and that he needed to continue to take medicine for observation. The matter of leaving was delayed. An Shi could only comfort himself and said, Ruyi's body is important, let's talk about it when he recovers.

At night, Ling Huyuan was writing a letter in the outer study to tell his father the information he had gotten, when he heard the shouts of catching assassins outside, Ling Huyuan glanced at Ruyi, who was sleeping, quickly blew out the lights in the house, and walked to the door to listen quietly.

At this time, Qingmo reported outside the door, "The general is the small courtyard where the Ruyi girl used to live, I will send someone to take a look." ”

A trace of doubt appeared on Ling Hu Yuan's face in the darkness, and he called, "Qingfeng, you are optimistic about Ruyi, I'll go outside and take a look." ”

"But the general..."Qingfeng flashed out of the shadows, hesitantly trying to call Ling Huyuan. Ling Huyuan seemed to know his worries, and said, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be for me, I'm optimistic about Ruyi." Then he opened the door and went out.

When Ling Huyuan arrived at the small courtyard, a man in black was lying on the ground and was already dead, "What's the matter?" Ling Huyuan asked coldly.

"General, everyone has run away, so I grabbed this one and committed suicide." Qingmo replied.

Ling Huyuan saw that the man in black lying on the ground had indeed committed suicide by taking poison, and judged that this person should be a dead man, obviously coming for Ruyi, who could it be? Could it be that someone already knows Ruyi's identity? Ling Huyuan pondered.

Seeing that it was calm outside, An Shi walked out and said, "General, these people seem to have come to find Ruyi and want to take her away." "Take her away? Auntie, are you sure? "I'm sure." "Who could it be?" Ling Huyuan muttered.

If it was Wuhou's person, he should be a direct killer. Suddenly, he thought of the news he got two days ago, Tian Yinqi had returned to Qi Country, could it be him? But his civil strife has not subsided, and he should not be able to take care of so much. If it was really him, it shouldn't hurt Ruyi, Ling Huyuan thought about it, but it was not good for An to know. "Auntie is frightened, go back and rest, I will send more guards to protect you and Ruyi's safety."

An nodded, seeing that he really couldn't help much, so he had to go back and rest.
