Chapter 342: Liberation
He? Say what?
Zhao Xuedi woke up from her slumber and saw Yun Ruiyi kneeling in front of her, holding the special sword of the Zhennan Palace, with a stern and heavy expression.
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Xuedian looked at him suspiciously.
In a short period of time, too many things have happened from Lingnan to the capital, from the time when he was framed and couldn't argue, Zhao Xuedie has been growing rapidly, from being uncalm and irrational at the beginning to finding out that he was poisoned in the middle of the year, and when he was walking into the trap of the mastermind behind him, Zhao Xuedie instantly understood what he should do.
That's why she will make a plan, pretending that she was poisoned and died, and she didn't tell anyone the news of her death, including Yun Ruiyi and Yu Qiuyu, even if she saw her good friend Yu Qiuyu heartbroken for her, she resisted the urge to rush out to meet Yu Qiuyu, all so that the murderer who framed her and Zhao Zhichen and Song Zhe could be exposed in front of the emperor yesterday.
During this time, most of what Zhao Xuedi was thinking about was how to face it and how to deal with the mastermind behind this agency's calculations, as for the emotional direction between her and Yun Ruiyi, Zhao Xuedian had not thought about it carefully.
She just felt that since Yun Ruiyi didn't believe her, she shouldn't continue to be her own guard, for the sake of Yun Ruiyi having protected herself for so long, and for the sake of hard work without merit, Zhao Xuedian simply wanted to give Yun Ruiyi back a freedom.
For some reason, as a fellow guard, she has much stricter standards for Yun Ruiyi than for other guards.
She just wants Yun Ruiyi to believe in her completely, and stand firmly on her side, because Yun Ruiyi is her guard, her guard.
However, she never expected that in the end, the biggest blow to her was the guard she felt should be on her side.
During the time she was in a coma because of the mandala, she had been thinking about a question.
Only then did she understand why she treated Yun Ruiyi so unusually.
Growing up in a royal child is difficult and lonely, what she is looking for is a person who can fully believe that she belongs to herself, when she rescued Yun Ruiyi from the hands of human traffickers, she felt in her heart that the man who would believe in herself for the rest of her life, she found it.
But in Lingnan, Feng Lan'er's matter gave Zhao Xuedi a big blow.
It turned out that Yun Ruiyi was not the person she was looking for who completely believed in herself.
She was disappointed.
It turned out that Yun Ruiyi, like the other guards, was no different, they all took her as their master.
So under the sadness, Zhao Xuedi wanted to let Yun Ruiyi leave, she was sad, she was disappointed, she didn't want to remember the frame she encountered in Lingnan, Zhao Zhixiang would definitely be punished by the emperor, and she and Zhao Zhichen had to gradually learn how to let go of the hurt and how to let go of the shadow in their hearts.
"County Lord, your subordinates beg you to let your subordinates stay by your side, your subordinates are your guards, and if you are your guards for a day, you will be your guards for life, how can your subordinates just leave you?"
Yun Ruiyi didn't know that Zhao Xuedi was already full of thoughts at the moment, he knelt in front of Zhao Xuedie on one knee, kneeling extremely straight.
Zhao Xuedian looked down at Yun Ruiyi's stiff and resolute facial contours, she looked at him, thought about it, and asked slowly.
"Do you know why I chose you to be my squire in the first place?"
Yun Ruiyi pursed her lips and did not answer immediately.
He didn't know why Zhao Xuedian would rather risk being hurt by human traffickers than save himself from the hands of human traffickers, and then took him in as a guard in Zhennan Wangfu, but he could vaguely guess why now, but he had no way to determine this vagueness at present.
"I thought that I had finally met someone who could always believe in me, the royal family is a very indifferent place, the capital is full of dangers, I grew up in danger since I was a child, I longed to be protected, I longed for someone to believe in me everywhere and protect me, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you would be the person I imagined, and now it seems ......"
At this point, Zhao Xuedian sighed deeply.
"Now it seems that it is my delusional thinking at all, people can only rely on themselves to live a lifetime, how can I be delusional that there will be such a hero?"
Zhao Xuedi said, her eyes moved away from Yun Ruiyi's body, and she looked into the distance with a sad expression.
"So I let you go not because I don't want you to be my bodyguard, nor because I resent you and was angry with you, but because I was disappointed, I was disappointed in myself, disappointed that I was born in the emperor's family."
Zhao Xuedie's expression was sad, and Yun Ruiyi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up, just in time to see Zhao Xuedie's distressing little eyes.
He stood up suddenly.
Seeing him stand up so suddenly, Zhao Xuedian thought that Yun Ruiyi had figured it out, and she also felt that she had finished saying what she should have said, and she should leave, so she simply stepped forward and planned to walk out of this small hut over Yun Ruiyi, and then leave here and return to Zhennan Wangfu.
She suddenly disappeared from the Zhennan Palace, and those people in the Zhennan Mansion must be worried, she has to go back quickly, so as not to worry her parents.
However, when Zhao Xuedi was about to pass by Yun Ruiyi, Yun Ruiyi stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Xuedie.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Yun Ruiyi's movements were abrupt, Zhao Xuedian turned around and frowned at him, didn't Yun Ruiyi understand what he said?
"The county lord said that he needs a guard who completely believes in himself, then, his subordinates are willing to be this guard, from now on, he will only be completely centered on the county lord alone, and he will be completely loyal to the county lord, no matter what happens, he will believe in the county lord first, and his subordinates are willing to be the hero in the county lord's mind, I don't know if the county lord is willing to give his subordinates a chance?"
Yun Ruiyi said and looked at Zhao Xuedie, her eyes showing pleading.
Zhao Xuedi couldn't believe her ears for a while, she looked at Yun Ruiyi hesitantly, and it took a long time before she slowly spoke.
"What did you just say? I didn't understand, can you say it again? ”
Yun Ruiyi took Zhao Xuedie's hand and said, "The subordinates beg His Royal Highness the County Lord to give his subordinates another chance, so that the subordinates can become the heroes in the eyes of the County Lord." ”
What does he mean is that he is willing to work hard to be a hero in his mind?
Zhao Xuedian looked at Yun Ruiyi in disbelief, she had experienced too much framing and injury during this time, and she couldn't believe the reality anymore.
"Is everything you say true?"
She looked down at Yun Ruiyi and muttered tremblingly.
This time, Yun Ruiyi did not hesitate as usual, but suddenly took a step forward and hugged Zhao Xue into his arms.
"The subordinates really want to be the unique guard in the county lord's heart, and I implore the county lord to give his subordinates another chance."
Zhao Xuedie's chin rested on Yun Ruiyi's shoulder, she looked at the green mountains outside the thatched house, and a smile appeared on her pale and bleak face, which was like a rainbow after the rain, brilliant and dazzling.
She leaned on Yun Ruiyi's shoulder, and spoke in a brisk tone.
"Okay."
Thinking of something, she spoke again, but it was threatening.
"I'll spare you for the time being, but if you dare to hurt me next time, I will definitely not let you go."
Yun Ruiyi knew that Zhao Xuedie's words meant that Zhao Xuedie forgave himself, and his mood suddenly became happy.
"Okay, I know, don't worry, this kind of thing is not an example."
After dealing with the contradictions, Yun Ruiyi naturally had to find a way to send Zhao Xue back to the Zhennan Mansion in a low-key manner.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuedie usually has the habit of sleeping lazily in Zhennan Wangfu, and no one is allowed to disturb Zhao Xuedie's lazy sleep during the period, so returning to Zhennan Wangfu at this time should not attract anyone's attention.
However, this time, when Zhao Xuedie and Yun Ruiyi returned to Zhennan Palace, they found that they couldn't keep a low profile at all.
On the second day after Zhao Xuedie, the lord of Chunyu County, returned to Zhennan Wangfu, there was another murder in Zhennan Wangfu.
This time, there was a murder in the Zhennan Palace, and the other party wanted to assassinate the little county lord Zhao Xuedie, who had come back from nine deaths.
When Zhao Xuedie arrived at the Zhennan Palace, he found that the corridor in front of his room was full of people.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xuedi asked the maid standing next to him who was watching the excitement in confusion.
"There was a murder case, and the little county lord was killed......"
The maid was about to open her mouth to explain, but she reacted unexpectedly, and the voice next to her was a little familiar!
She turned her head to look towards herself, but saw Zhao Xuedi stretching her neck to look at the bustle in the corridor.
Now it's all right.
The little maid was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she fell to her knees at once.
"Your Royal Highness the county lord, Your Royal Highness the county lord, it's not the slave who harms you, it's not the slave who harms you, it's the assassin, it's the assassin who brutally killed you, so if you want to chase your soul and ask for your life, just let the slave and maid go, it's not the slave and the maid who killed you!"
As soon as the little maid's mournful wail came out, the others also looked in the direction of Zhao Xuedie.
After discovering that the person standing in front of them was indeed Zhao Xuedie, a group of maids and family members standing outside the corridor couldn't calm down, and they quickly knelt down in front of Zhao Xuedie, prostrate themselves, wailing and crying, kneeling and begging Zhao Xuedie to let go.
Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe, who got the news of Zhao Xuedie's death, hurriedly broke in from outside the door, as soon as she came in, she saw Zhao Xuedie standing outside the corridor at a glance, and a group of maids and family members were kneeling in front of Zhao Xuedie in pain and crying, and Zhao Xuedie stood there, also full of helplessness.
Zhao Xuedi turned around and saw Yu Qiuyu walking in.
She looked at Yu Qiuyu a little helplessly.
"You don't think I'm dead, do you?"
Song Zhe looked at her, then at the guards and servants kneeling together, and burst out laughing.
"Xue'er, these guards and maids in your Zhennan Wangfu are too poor in their ability to distinguish between life and death, and they can't even distinguish between the living and the dead."
He is a martial artist, and he can see that Zhao Xuedi is not actually dead, but standing here alive.
"What, Your Highness the County Lord, you're not dead?"
Only then did a group of maids react.
