Chapter 22: Goko confides in her heart
Lei Jue asked me if I wanted to go to bed in Muyang Palace, and I knew that no matter where I went, Xuanhu would follow me, so I shook my head and only told him not to leave me.
This night, Xuanhu sometimes struggled and roared, and sometimes turned into a black-eyed resentful spirit stared at me from time to time, although I nested in Lei Jie's arms with my eyes closed, every time Xuanhu yelled my name in pain, I would be frightened into a spirit. Lei Jue also slept very restlessly, always patting me on the back and telling me not to be afraid, he was here.
In the wee hours of the morning, I fell asleep in a daze, and in my dream I saw Xuanhu, who was standing beside the beds of my two children, with a gloomy black air all around her.
Xu Yang was sleeping soundly on the big bed next to him, but my poor Xiaoying Xiao Ze looked at Xuanhu with innocent eyes. In the past, children were always active when they were awake in dreams, but today they are very quiet.
Xuanhu's hideous smiling face was close to the children, and finally, Xiao Ying cried "wow", and Xiao Ze also cried non-stop.
Xu Yang turned on the light and got up to pick up the two children, but it was useless to coax them, the nanny soon arrived in the bedroom, but the nanny and Xu Yang were helpless about the child's crying.
Gradually, the children's voices became hoarse.
The voice of the death curse continued to echo in my head: Kill him! Kill Lei Nian! Kill him!
Xuanhu in the dream gradually raised his hand, grabbed Xiao Ying's neck with one hand, and choked Xiao Ze's neck with the other.
Suddenly woke up, Xuanhu was next to my bed, if the fear was because of my instinct to survive, at this time I could get up from Lei Jue's arms and meet Xuanhu's eyes, it should be regarded as the tenacity of a mother to protect her son.
What am I? I was already a dead man, and I had nothing to fear.
Lei Jue slept lightly tonight, and a small shiver from me could wake him up, let alone such a large movement as sitting up. Lei Jue grabbed me from behind and asked softly, "Hu'er, is that unclean thing still bothering you?" ”
I just continued to look at Xuanhu and nodded slightly.
"I'll accompany you here, and let Cao Zhi go and ask the priest to do it, how about it?"
I still looked at Xuanhu and shook my head slightly.
I thought that Lei Jue would have thought that I would speak to someone other than him, but I did it at this time.
"Xuanhu." I stood up and stood across from Xuanhu.
The hissing sound in Xuanhu's throat was particularly harsh, and this was her response to me calling her.
"Although I don't understand why you have become a ghost, I know that you still love Lei Nian. Now that you're using Xiaoying Xiaoze to force me to kill him, this must not be your intention, right? ”
Lei Jue was already standing beside me, and asked me puzzledly, "Hu'er, who are you talking to?" ”
"I'm not your hull." I looked up at Lei Du and smiled sadly, "Xuanhu is long dead, and her soul is in front of me now." ”
Who knew that Lei Jue actually smiled, "Hu'er, what kind of strange dream did you have, you haven't woken up yet." So saying, he was about to pull me into his arms.
I broke away from Lei Jue's hand, "Lei Jue, my name is Zhang Wei, and I am already a mother of two children. After Xuanhu's death, my soul entered Xuanhu's body, and Xuanhu's soul was always by my side, but you couldn't see it. ”
Lei frowned and put his hand on my forehead and touched it.
"I'm not sick and I'm not confused. I don't know if you have anyone who can see the soul in the night, but if so, go and find someone. ”
Although Lei Jue's face was still in disbelief, I looked at him firmly for a long time, but he still shook his head at me.
If you don't believe it, forget it, whatever you want.
Looking at Xuanhu again, I smiled bitterly: "You let me kill Lei Nian, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the crime of assassinating King Xian is enough to put me to death, and the result is no different." I'm not afraid of death, but if I do kill him, will your resentment be appeased? Can your love for Lei Nian be extinguished? ”
Xuanhu let out a ghostly grin, and after the laughter, she seemed to regain a little bit of her senses, and called me in a daze, "Sister Wei." ”
I hurriedly grabbed Xuanhu's hand and continued, "Xuanhu, killing Lei Nian won't free you, you know!" You have been in the Falling Sakura Pavilion for ten years, have you ever been murderous to Lei Nian? Have you ever been discouraged by the deep love for him? Think about it! ”
"Sister Wei...... Yes!!! ”
Xuanhu fell to the ground, as if she was suffering from heart-rending pain, her hand beat her head hard, I tried to hold her, but her strength was amazing, and she pushed me away several times, my head hit the edge of the bed, and I almost fainted.
Something flowed from my forehead, and when I raised my hand to touch it, my hand was bloody.
"Sister Wei, Sister Wei...... I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to hurt you...... Yes...... Sister Wei, I'm so uncomfortable...... Help me......"
Xuanhu is a poor person, I have always known it, Xuanhu also saved Xiaoying Xiaoze's life, she is also my benefactor. Xuanhu was only seventeen years old, but he was tortured to death by love and hatred, and he died, turned into a soul, and suffered such heart-wrenching pain.
Looking at Xuanhu, my heart hurt and I couldn't breathe, tears rolled down involuntarily, how can I help her?
I stubbornly hugged Xuanhu again and again, holding her head in my arms, and Xuanhu kept apologizing to me while fighting her resentment.
After I was bruised, Xuanhu finally calmed down, she hugged me tightly, sobbing and crying in my arms.
"Sister Wei...... What's wrong with me? I don't want him to die, and I don't want to hurt your child, Sister Wei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
"I know, I know, how can you hurt someone else if you're so kind? Look, I know you, so I didn't kill Lei Nian, did I? It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll help you, trust me. ”
Listening to Xuanhu's constant crying, I finally realized how selfish I was.
I've never delved into the pain in Xuanhu's heart, and I've never really done anything for Xuanhu, and even the promise to take her back to Lingmu Valley has made no progress so far.
Thinking of Lingmu Valley, I comforted Xuanhu again: "Xuanhu, didn't you say that you heard Lingmu calling you?" Maybe when we go back to Lingmu Valley, everything will be over, and you will no longer be resentful, nor will you be in pain, and you can leave this cold world with peace of mind. Xuanhu, do you remember what Lingmu Valley was like? Tell me about it, okay? ”
Lingmu Valley is a valley in the middle of the Xuancang Imperial City, and there is a thousand-year-old tree in it, and the leaves of the ancient tree will emit a golden light at night. According to legend, if the branches of the ancient tree are luxuriant, the Xuancang country will prosper, and if not, it will decline, so the Xuancang royal family has always taken good care of this ancient tree, until the day when Lei Nian raised his troops to kill, Xuanhu saw with his own eyes rendering the Xuancang Imperial City, and the branches and leaves of the spiritual wood withered.
When Xuanhu said that his heart was painful, he began to cry in a low voice.
I patted Xuanhu on the back and repeated, "The spirit wood will come back to life again, and we can go back soon." ”
When the cold tip of the sword pressed against my throat, I turned my head to see Lei Jue standing with his sword in his hand, his eyes cold.
I pressed Xuanhu's head to prevent her from seeing Lei Jue's movements, and said softly to Xuanhu: "I don't worry about Xiaoying and Xiao Ze, you go and see them, okay?" Help me stay with them for a while, but don't scare them anymore, you know? ”
Xuanhu nodded obediently and left.
I stood up against the blade of my sword and smiled at the thunderous decision.
