One hundred and seventy-two, hated for years
Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng's light skills were far above Bai Qingqing, so they had already rushed back home before Bai Qingqing went back.
After Bai went back gently, he saw Jian Huaizhen lying on the bed and still hadn't woken up, while Jiang Shaoheng was by her bedside, and the two of them seemed to have never gone out.
Bai lightly glanced at Jian Huaizhen apologetically, and said to Jiang Shaoheng, "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry. After I went to the Peach Blossom House to worship the Peach Blossom Bodhisattva, I saw that it was a little late, so I didn't go up the mountain to pick herbs, and I will go tomorrow to help Sister Huaizhen pick herbs. ”
Jiang Shaoheng let out a long sigh and said: "No need, your sister Huaizhen's illness must be incurable, I watched her terminally ill, but there is no way to think about it, I am really a failure as a person, and I can't even protect the woman I like." ”
"Do you like Sister Huaizhen?" Bai pursed his lips lightly and smiled.
Jiang Shaoheng's face was slightly red, he shook the folding fan in his hand, and said, "That was all decades ago, so why bother to bring it up again now." ”
Their conversation fell in Jian Huaizhen's ears, and Jian Huaizhen felt a trace of sweetness in his heart.
Since Jiang Shaoheng admitted that he liked her in front of her, although he added an extra sentence to cover it up, Jian Huaizhen knew that he said that he liked himself, and every word was from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, if it weren't for the fact that there was a concubine between them, they might have been a pair of fairy couples.
Before I knew it, three days had passed.
On the morning of the fourth day, Jiang Shaoheng suddenly knocked on Bai Qingqing's door, and he said to Bai lightly: "Qingqing, come out and take a look, your sister Huaizhen is afraid that she will die soon, I didn't expect her to leave me first." ”
Bai walked out gently, with tears in his eyes, and ran to Jian Huaizhen's room to see.
Sure enough, I saw Jian Huaizhen lying on the bed, his face was pale and gray, obviously because of the deepening of the poisoning.
It's just that she saw that Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen didn't know the reason, so naturally she didn't dare to break it.
"Why is Sister Huaizhen like this? Why, why is this happening? Bai cried softly and loudly, and tears rained down in an instant.
Her tears fell in the eyes of Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen, and neither of them knew whether she was hypocritical, false or true.
Jiang Shaoheng seemed to be in great pain, holding his head and sitting down beside Jian Huaizhen's bed, he said with a dull expression: "Why, why is this happening, why does Sister Huaizhen go before me, I still have a lot to say to her." Originally, I thought that I could accompany her well for the rest of my life, but who knew that the two of us had just met for a long time, but we were going to be separated again, didn't God let us be together? ”
Bai lightly saw that Jiang Shaoheng said so sincerely, so he didn't doubt it more.
Jian Huaizhen's face became more and more ugly, her breathing became weaker and weaker, and she took Bai Qing's hand.
Bai Qing only felt that her hand was cold and piercing, and she was scared in her heart, so she couldn't help but withdraw her hand.
After drawing it back, she found that Jian Huaizhen's face was different, and she hurriedly touched Jian Huaizhen's hand again and said, "Sister Huaizhen, don't worry." If anything happens to you, I will definitely guard this small courtyard in Jiangnan for you, and keep all the memories of me, you and your Qingqing sister-in-law. ”
Jian Huaizhen suddenly burst into tears, and said: "I think I can't survive today, I want you to live alone here in the future, don't be sad about my death, no matter where I am, I will think about you." ”
Jian Huaizhen said very sincerely, presumably Bai Qingqing was also emotional, and couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Jian Huaizhen said a few more words, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then the whole person passed out.
Jiang Shaoheng stretched out his hand to probe Jian Huaizhen's snort, and found that she still had breath, but it was already very weak.
Jiang Shaoheng said softly to the dialogue very painfully: "Presumably, Sister Huaizhen has already returned to the light, and she really can't survive today." ”
Bai gently bit his lower lip and persuaded, "Brother Jiang, don't be so sad. ”
With that, she walked out.
After a while, Bai gently came in with a bowl of ginseng tea, walked up to Jiang Shaoheng and said, "Brother Jiang, you haven't eaten or drunk anything all day, this bowl of ginseng tea was specially made for you, you drink it." ”
Jiang Shaoheng shook his head and said, "No need, I can't drink anything at this moment, and I can't eat anything." ”
"Brother Jiang, don't think so. Even if something happens to Sister Huaizhen, she doesn't want to watch you suffer so much, let alone watch you torture yourself, and your life is the greatest reward for her. ”
Jiang Shaoheng's voice became very low, and he said, "Maybe you're right, but at this moment, I really can't drink anything." ”
Bai gently looked up at him suddenly, his eyes were crystal bright, like two pills of black mercury, faintly with a faint brilliance flowing.
She was slightly silent and said, "No matter what, Brother Jiang, don't embarrass yourself, even if I beg you, you can drink the ginseng tea." ”
Jiang Shaoheng sighed, and just as he didn't know how to deal with it, he saw Jian Huaizhen let out a sound, and she said to Jiang Shaoheng: "I'm also a little thirsty." ”
Jiang Shaoheng immediately said softly to Bai: "Gently, bothering you to make a bowl of ginseng tea for your sister Huaizhen to drink, okay?" I looked at her and looked like she was getting better. ”
Bai Qing was very surprised, why Jian Huaizhen seemed to be better again.
But she still promised, "Okay, I'll go right away." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Jian Huaizhen saw Bai leave gently, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
It turned out that all this was deliberately played by Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng for Bai Qingqing, they heard Bai Qingqing's conversation with the mysterious grimace man a few days ago, and the grimace man said that Jian Huaizhen would die today, and he would definitely come to see it then, so they deliberately made this scene in front of Bai Qingqing.
Jian Huaizhen took some medicine in advance and smeared some oil paint on his face, so his face looked very ugly.
The two of them acted very realistically, and Bai Qing didn't expect that they were just acting for themselves.
When Jian Huaizhen heard that Bai gently asked Jiang Shaoheng to drink the bowl of ginseng tea, she expected that there must be something strange in the ginseng tea, and seeing that Jiang Shaoheng couldn't deal with it, she deliberately pretended to look better and asked Bai Qingqing to take a bowl of ginseng tea for herself to drink.
Jian Huaizhen looked at Jiang Shaoheng, and said with a faint smile in his eyes: "I didn't expect all this to be a conspiracy, Brother Jiang, you quickly pour this bowl of ginseng tea." Wait a while, wait for Bai to come back gently and you will say that you have drunk it. ”
Jian Huaizhen took out the ginseng tea as she spoke, leaned over to her nose and smelled it, and she smelled that someone had drugged the ginseng tea.
Immediately, she said to Jiang Shaoheng: "After a while, you will pretend to be drugged and faint, so that we can reveal who this last mastermind is." ”
Jiang Shaoheng heard Jian Huaizhen say so solemnly, and immediately responded: "Sister Huaizhen, don't worry, I will do everything according to what you say." ”
Jian Huaizhen smiled bitterly: "Okay." ”
After the two of them finished speaking, Jian Huaizhen was still pretending to be sick and lying down, and Jiang Shaoheng secretly poured the ginseng tea out of the window and poured it into the flower garden outside.
After a while, Bai Qingqing walked in with a bowl of ginseng tea again, and said to Jiang Shaoheng: "Brother Jiang, this is the ginseng tea you asked for Sister Huaizhen." ”
Jiang Shaoheng shook his head gloomily and said, "No need, you Huaizhen sister she has already gone." ”
When he said these words, a trace of desolation passed under his eyes, and that desolation was so refreshing that it made those who saw it sad and those who heard it wept.
Although Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen are acting to show Bai lightly, Jiang Shaoheng's affection for Jian Huaizhen is true at all, and it is really truer than pearls, so his true feelings make Bai lightly feel that it is not fake.
Bai sighed softly, her sigh distantly like a wisp of cold wind passing through her ears.
She looked at Jian Huaizhen on the bed, tears were streaming down her eyes, and she cried: "I didn't expect Sister Huaizhen to leave me like this." ”
Jiang Shaoheng was stunned, he stretched out his hand and stroked Jian Huaizhen's hair and said.
His voice seemed to sigh softly, and it seemed to have a few bleak tones, and he said, "I didn't expect Princess Huaizhen to go like this. ”
As soon as his words fell, his body was crooked, and the whole person fell on Jian Huaizhen's body.
Seeing this, Bai Qing immediately wiped away the tears from her eyes, she looked at the ginseng tea on the table, and found that the ginseng tea had really been drunk, and she already knew that Jiang Shaoheng had drunk the ginseng tea she brought.
The ginseng tea was drugged, so Jiang Shaoheng was stunned.
She stretched out her hand and probed Jian Huaizhen's snort, and found that Jian Huaizhen was really silent, obviously no longer alive.
She felt cold all over, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and suddenly a cold voice sounded in her ears, and the voice was so cold that it seemed to be in people's bones, and said, "You don't have to look at it, she's dead." ”
"She's dead, she's really dead?" Bai asked lightly and subconsciously.
"Do you think she's not dead?" There was an unmistakable coldness in the lips of the interface.
"She's dead."
Bai raised his head slightly, and then saw that the person in front of him was none other than the grimacing man.
She hurriedly bowed to the grimace and said, "Master, you are here." I have done what you tell me to do. ”
"Okay, you've done a good job, not counting that I've raised you for nineteen years in vain, I have something to reward you here."
Bai shook his head lightly, and said with a gloomy face: "No need. Although I am doing this for you to repay your kindness, in the past few months, Sister Huaizhen and Brother Jiang have been really good to me. Now that I have killed Sister Huaizhen, I really can't bear it. ”
With that, she let out a long sigh.
The grimace man still beckoned to her and said, "Come here, come over and let me tell you why I asked you to kill Jian Huaizhen." ”
"Why?" Bai gently raised his face and asked him.
The ghost-faced man laughed and said, "Because Jian Huaizhen is your father-killing enemy, she killed your father." ”
"Is it true that she killed my father?"
Bai Qingqing's face was shocked, looking at the grimace man with an unbelievable look in his eyes.
"Yes, it's true, she killed your father. Come here, and let me tell you how she killed your father. ”
Bai lightly became a little dazed, she walked over to the ghost-faced man and knelt down, and said, "Master, please tell me who I really am and who my father is?" Jane Huaizhen: Why did she kill my father? ”
"Okay, let me tell you."
Grimace said, suddenly stretched out his hand, put his palm on the top of Bai Qing's head, and exerted the internal force of his whole body.
Suddenly, all of his internal force was concentrated on his right palm.
When Bai Qingqing was about to ask who she was, who her father was, and why Jian Huaizhen would kill her father, she only felt a heavy internal force pressing down on the top of her head.
The fierce internal force overwhelmed herself, and she opened her eyes to see that it was none other than the Grimace Man who was going to kill her.
The grimace man squeezed the white light heavenly spirit cover tightly, and strained hard.
After a while, Bai screamed softly and lay on the ground.
She pointed to the grimacing man and asked in disbelief, reluctantly, "Why Master?" Master, why did you kill me? Why is this the case? ”
"Why, why did I kill you, do you think I didn't see it? Now that you have compassion for Jian Huaizhen, will you still be able to serve me faithfully in the future? There is no place for a traitor by my side, and if I don't kill you today, you will surely come and kill me one day. The grimace man said smugly.
"No, I'm not going to kill you. You have raised me for nineteen years, and it is too late for me to be grateful to you, how can I be unfavorable to you, Master. ”
Her voice was miserable, but it grew weaker and weaker.
The Grimace walked up to her, kicked her, and said, "Okay, now let me tell you who you are." In fact, what I told you before is true, you were originally the daughter of a large family, you have an older sister above you, and a younger sister below, your father is a child of a rich family, your mother is a scholarly family, and your family is also a rich family in the local area. One day, I passed by your hometown, and it was already dark, so I went to your house to spend the night, and I accidentally found you. I found that although you look very young, you look very similar to Bai Qingqing, so I thought that maybe one day I can use you to help. That's why I'll kill all your family and bring you back. You were six years old at the time, and I was afraid that you would remember that I had killed your whole family, so I gave you a sense of forgetfulness. Sure enough, you have forgotten all about the past, and you are still loyal to me, thinking that I am your master. If one day you knew that I was the enemy of your parents and sisters, wouldn't you seek revenge on me? ”
The grimace man became more and more excited, and he pointed coldly at Bai Qing, obviously there was no pity in his voice.
Bai Qing's tears remained, and she said in a trembling voice: "It turned out that the master killed my parents and sisters, why did you do this?" Why? ”
The grimace sneered and said, "Didn't I already tell you, because you look very similar to Bai Qingqing, and I thought that one day I could use you to deal with Jian Huaizhen, so I adopted you." ”
"It turns out that you have been planning to deal with Jian Huaizhen for a long time."
"Yes, I was already trying to deal with her twenty or thirty years ago. However, there were so many people around her who helped her that I couldn't do it, and now I have a chance. I've done so much for her, and it's worth it to let her give me my life back to this day. ”
When Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng heard the grimace say this, they became more and more sure that he was the person next to them.
They were tempted to get up at once and unmask him and see who he was. However, they wanted to see what the Grimace continued to do, so they didn't get up.
And the ghost-faced man hurting Bai Qingqing was also something they didn't expect, they heard that Bai Qingqing's background was so pitiful, and they all felt sad for her.
The grimace continued, "You said you wouldn't betray me, do you think I'm going to believe you? I am your father and mother's enemy, won't you think about killing me in the future? You said that you won't betray me because I have raised you for more than ten years, can people have feelings for getting along with others for more than ten years? I have also been with Jian Huaizhen for so many years, but I still hate her. ”
With that, the grimace took off the mask from his face and slammed it to the ground.
"Master" Bai gently stretched out his hand and pointed at him, as if he had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say to him, as if he was accusing and seemed to be angry.
After she glanced at him with love and hate, she tilted her head, and since then the fragrance has disappeared, and a wisp of fragrant soul has been cut off.
Just as the grimace man took off his mask, Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen both opened their eyes and looked.
A very familiar face appeared in front of them, and the grimace was none other than Nangong Jiuzhong.
Nangong Jiuzhong's real name is Blue Smoke, and she is the maid who serves by Jian Huaizhen's side.
Many years ago, when Jian Huaizhen was still Miss Shangshufu, Lan Yan and Ruan Xin'er had always served by her side, and they supported her, supported her, and helped her like a pair of sisters.
Later, Jian Huaizhen established two major organizations in the rivers and lakes, Candle Shadow Shake Red and Confession Gate, and the only people she could trust were Xin'er and Lan Yan.
She taught her martial arts to the two maids, Xin'er and Lan Yan, and handed over the two organizations of Confession Gate and Candle Shadow Shake Red to her to take care of.
After being taught martial arts by Jian Huaizhen, Lan Yan and Xin'er's martial arts are very strong.
In order to get rid of their status as maids, Jian Huaizhen specially chose a name for each of them, Lan Yan's name was Nangong Jiuzhong, and Ruan Xin'er's name was Shangguan Mingfeng.
Later, Shangguan Mingfeng saw Jian Huaizhen returning to the capital from Jiangnan, and was afraid that she would take away her power in the candle shadow, so he colluded with Shi Heng and wanted to cure Jian Huaizhen to death.
Who knew that after the plan was revealed, Shangguan Mingfeng killed himself in front of Jian Huaizhen.
For a long time, Jian Huaizhen felt in her heart that Shangguan Mingfeng was a more intelligent person, and Nangong Jiuzhong had always given her the feeling of being more loyal and gentle, and she had always been loyal to her.
She didn't expect that in the end, it was no one else who was planning to calculate her, but it was Nangong Jiuzhong cultivated by herself, which made her really unacceptable.
