Chapter 33: Must Leave
"Hey, I'm sorry, you came all the way to see me, and you didn't even have a cup of hot tea." Lighting the oil lamp in the house, Han Yixuan looked at the empty room, was a little embarrassed, and kicked a bench for him.
"Why are you polite to me?" Gongsun Duan smiled, in the dim light, he looked extremely tall and handsome, but the action of sitting on the stool made him look a little childish and ridiculous.
"Gongsun, how did you find here?" Seeing that he was seated, Han Yixuan also sat on another stool and said intently. He didn't expect the news of his place to spread so quickly, and even Gongsun knew about it.
"I listened to what you palace people said, you were in such a hurry that you didn't even say hello, but I was so anxious that I ran to fight with the prince of the winged king, you see, my beautiful nose was knocked down." Gongsun Duan pointed to his nose, raised his chin, and motioned for Han Yixuan to look.
"Stinky beauty." Looking at his appearance, Han Yixuan couldn't help but smile and punch him.
"Alright, let's get down to business." He didn't believe that Gongsun Duan ran so far to show him his nose.
"Yixuan, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you with the original matter." Gongsun Duan thought that Han Yixuan's mother had just passed away, and his beloved cousin threw himself into the arms of the son, and he sighed, sighed, and was helpless.
He is just a concubine of the Ministry of Rites, and he is soft-spoken, and he can't help with his best. He knew Han Yixuan's sadness and despair at that time, and hated himself for not being able to comfort him and help him.
After Han Yixuan left, he went out to fight with the prince of the winged king, although he was beaten badly, but the prince of the winged king did not fall well, so he felt a little more comfortable.
"Don't talk about the past, I know you did your best." Knowing his helplessness and powerlessness, Han Yixuan never blamed him.
"I'm here this time, and I really have something to look for you." Speaking of this, he stood up and listened attentively, but did not hear any abnormal movement, and then whispered: "Do you remember Mama Zhang, it is here that the ear has a tethered horse stake." Gongsun Duan gestured.
Han Yixuan nodded, his good-looking brows furrowed, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Of course I remember, she is my mother's personal mother, and I arranged her properly after my mother passed away, what happened to her?" ”
This Mama Zhang has always followed her mother, and she also watched him grow up since she was a child, and she was very good to him. So after his mother's death, he took care of her before leaving. Gongsun Duan suddenly mentioned her, could it be that something happened.
"She's dead, and before she dies, let me give this to you." As he spoke, Gongsun Duan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Han Yixuan.
Hearing the news of Mama Zhang's death, Han Yixuan felt very sad. His mother had left him, and he was really sad that Mama Zhang, who had been like a son, was gone. Ever since his mother's death, he seems to have been parting. Farewell mother, farewell cousin, farewell rain in the future, and Mama Zhang, who has already left.
Barely suppressing the sadness that welled up in his heart, he took the letter and asked in a low voice, "How did you die?" ”
"I was hunted down, and when I was found, I was on the street not far from my house." Gongsun Duan was also very sad, he knew Mama Zhang, who was a kind and gentle old man who was very good to Han Yixuan and himself.
Thinking of the miserable appearance of the old man covered in blood before he died, he felt that the corners of his eyes were moist, and he almost couldn't control his tears.
"Mama Zhang is just an ordinary person, who has a grudge against her, and would hunt her down?" Han Yixuan asked coldly, with irrepressible anger in his tone, who was it that made a move on such a powerless old man.
"Look at the letter, it must have something to do with you, Mama Zhang told me before she died, I must hand this over to you."
Han Yixuan opened the letter and followed the change while looking at his face. Sometimes serious, sometimes angry, sometimes uneven, his fingers pinched his palms deeply, and his palms were pinched and bleeding without noticing. After reading this, he stood up and looked up at the sky, his face was inexplicably sad, and it took a while for him to come to the oil lamp and burn the letter.
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Duan followed him to the oil lamp, and hurriedly asked when he saw that his face was not good.
"Mama Zhang said in the letter that my mother may not have died of illness, but poisoning. She connected the events that happened before and after my mother's death, and she felt very strange, so she wrote them down. I didn't expect to be discovered, so I was hunted down. ”
"Originally, Mama Zhang was just suspicious, but now that she is dead, this suspicion has become a reality." He suddenly squatted down and pounded his head angrily, whimpering: "Gongsun, do you know, I never suspected that my mother was killed by someone. ”
"You say, she is so weak and kind, and she has no quarrel with the world, who would kill her ruthlessly?" Han Yixuan raised his face full of tears and looked at Gongsun Duan helplessly. "It's my incompetence that I can't even notice that she's been killed." He pounded his head vigorously and wept.
He had never been so weak, even when he heard that his mother had died, he was only sad and sad, and he had never been so helpless and self-blaming.
If he had discovered the abnormality earlier, wouldn't his mother have died? If he had placed his mother in place earlier, would others not have been able to kill her? It's all his fault, it was his carelessness that killed his mother. It was his contention and unwillingness to kill her.
Now that I think about it, my mother's illness was too sudden, and although her health has not been very good, the doctor did not say that there was a dangerous problem. At that time, he was dealing with some properties in the palace in Xiangcheng, and his father sent a letter saying that his mother was suddenly ill and asked him to return quickly. By the time he got back, his mother was lying there cold.
Now that I think about it, my mother looked a little strange at that time, with heavy makeup on her face, and she couldn't see her original face. According to her cousin, her mother loved beauty when she was alive and wanted to be beautiful after she died, so she helped her put on makeup. At that time, he was quite grateful, and felt that his cousin really knew his mother.
After Mama Zhang's reminder, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. My mother loves beauty, but she has always put on light makeup, and she has never worn heavy makeup. My cousin put on such a heavy makeup on her mother, is it possible that she is hiding something? Is it true that as Mama Zhang said, her mother died of poisoning, wearing heavy makeup, and she couldn't see the poisoning.
Han Yixuan tried his best to recall what happened before and after his mother's death, but unfortunately he was too sad at the time and didn't pay attention to many things, and the clues he remembered now are very limited. But there is one thing he knows, his cousin Qin Ruyue must know something about this matter.
He must go back and find out how his mother died, and if someone really harmed her, he will avenge her with his own hands.
Thinking of this, he wiped a handful of tears and stood up. "Gongsun, it seems that I have to go back to the capital. My mother can't die in vain, I must find out the murderer and avenge her. ”
Gongsun nodded, his mother died early, and he knew very well what it was like to lose his mother, he looked at Han Yixuan with some concern, "Yixuan, you have to be prepared, if it is really as Mama Zhang said, your aunt was poisoned, it is impossible for the palace not to know." They hide it from you like this, I'm afraid the reason behind it is not simple. ”
"Well, I know in my heart, no matter what, I can't let my mother die in vain, no matter who kills my mother, I will definitely let him die a good death."
Han Yixuan began to pack his things, in fact, he only had a few clothes, which were still made like rain. When he saw the clothes and thought of the rain, his heart was warm, and he felt very reluctant to part. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Gongsun Duan looked at him with a warm smile on the stacks of square clothes, and felt strange. Walked up to him and asked, "Yixuan, although you are lonely here, you have a lot of life, to be honest, do you know other girls?" ”
"yes, I wanted to introduce you to each other, but unfortunately she's not here." Han Yixuan generously admitted, and his expression of relief and satisfaction almost flashed Gongsun Duan's eyes.
"Really?" Gongsun opened his mouth wide and looked very surprised. He casually asked, and it turned out to be true. At the beginning, he knew Han Yixuan's feelings for Qin Ruyue, he thought that if something like that happened, it would be difficult for him to like other girls anymore.
Unexpectedly, he found the girl he liked so quickly, and judging by his expression, he should like that girl very much. even likes it more than Qin Ruyue at the beginning. What kind of girl can make Bailian Steel a finger twister?
Gongsun Duan was looking forward to meeting that girl. In his imagination, that girl should be more gentle and beautiful than Qin Ruyue, tender as water, so that he could conquer Han Yixuan's rebellious heart. As it turned out, he was overthinking. The girl that Han Yixuan likes has nothing to do with gentleness.
