Chapter Twenty-Five: Suspicion Grows

Qing Ling was still unconscious when she was sent back, and her beautiful face was printed with discordant blue and purple scars, and she knew what she had experienced at a glance. Qing Ling went down the mountain to look for Feng Yan, but didn't find her and didn't say anything, but instead made herself scarred, could it be that she met an assassin?

Shi Zhong hurriedly ordered someone to find a doctor, and carefully picked her up, Qingling's breathing was very weak, and her curled body was like a sleeping child. Shi Zhong looked at her frowning face from time to time, the purple strangulation marks on her neck, and strange feelings welled up in his heart, he knew how deep her affection was, but he couldn't respond. He pitied her, but he was helpless, his heart was already occupied by others, and he could no longer tolerate others, even if he knew that his feelings were unsettled, there was still no way to give up what he loved in his heart.

If Qingling encounters an accident, he will feel guilty, sad, and regretful, but he will not fall in love with her because of it. For Qing Ling, her sacrifice is really sad, and for Shizhong, his infatuation and his persistence are indeed lamentable.

"Auntie, auntie......" Zhao Ziqing and the young husband woke up for a long time, but they didn't see Liu Ye open his eyes for a long time, in their impression, Liu Ye was not a snooze. Every morning, she sings nursery rhymes to wake them up, but today she wakes up later than them.

The young man pulled Liu Ye's arm and shook it back and forth, Liu Ye's face was lifeless and gray, and she slept very deeply, as if she had sunk to the bottom of the sea and would never wake up. The nightmare in the depths of the young husband's memory is the scene of his mother's death, the beautiful and gentle Princess Xijun couldn't sleep, no matter how much she cried or begged, she never looked at her.

Although the young husband still didn't know what happened to Liu Ye, she became more and more scared in her heart, after her mother left, no one on the grassland treated her well, even her father ignored her, not to mention that she wanted to die. If it weren't for Liu Ye as a treasure, she would have forgotten the feeling of laughter.

"Auntie......" The young man trembled nervously, flattened his small mouth, his nose was red, and crystal tears came out of his eyes, she didn't care about wiping her tears, she lay on Liu Ye and sobbed quietly, "Auntie, don't sleep, don't sleep...... Wake up and look at the young man......"

After all, Zhao Ziqing is a few years older than the young man, he sees that Liu Ye is breathing evenly, not like he is terminally ill, although his mother, like Princess Xijun, is also seriously ill and died, but he can tell that Liu Ye is not in this case. Besides, before going to the banquet last night, she was still fine, but now she can't wake up, I'm afraid that she has drunk too much.

"Young husband, my aunt is drunk, let her sleep a little longer." Zhao Ziqing pulled up the young husband, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and comforted, "Don't cry, my aunt will wake up, she will definitely wake up......"

"Really? Will my aunt wake up? The young man sniffed, stared at Zhao Ziqing seriously, and asked repeatedly, "Auntie won't die, right?" Won't leave the young husband, right? ”

"No, how can my aunt be willing to leave the young husband! My aunt won't leave Ziqing, she's the best for us! Zhao Ziqing held the young husband's apple-like little face, smiled and assured her, "The princess and aunt love the young husband the most, and the young husband must also be sensible, so let the aunt sleep for a while!" ”

The young man nodded tearfully, turned his head to look at Liu Ye, and said uneasily: "But, but...... My mother also said that she would not leave the young husband...... My mother died when she fell asleep, and they said that my mother died, and she went to heaven, and she didn't want a husband......"

Speaking of this, the young man's eyes were red again, and he took Zhao Ziqing's hand and muttered, "Also, what about the little aunt?" Why didn't she come to accompany the young man? Aunt Princess, Aunt Sister-in-law, what happened to them? ”

Zhao Ziqing was speechless, he was also worried about Feng Yan, in the past, Feng Yan had already come with fragrant rice porridge or noodles, no matter how busy he was, he would watch them finish eating. Liu Ye didn't wake up for a long time, and Feng Yan was nowhere to be seen, which was obviously wrong.

Zhao Ziqing didn't know how to comfort the young man, the young man cried so much that his face was red, and he was not in the mood to persuade her, so he cried along with him. He misses his mother who died early, his father who is far away on the grassland, and his hometown thousands of miles away.

The two children cried on Liu Ye's body, crying so well that they were not sad, and they read "Auntie, don't sleep", which later became "Auntie, don't die".

Liu Ye is still conscious, she has been asleep for so long, floating and sinking in her dreams, as if she is struggling in the endless sea, and when she finally landstruck, she got lost in the dense forest, walking all over the south, south, west, and northwest, but she couldn't find an exit. The sword dance turned into a slide, appearing in front of her eyes from time to time, and every time it appeared, the person leading the dance would slash her with a sword, slashing her with a sword that would bleed all over her face without pain, and poking her with a hole in her chest but not dying.

Liu Ye was hovering between life and death, and she wanted to escape from this terrible dream and escape from that person's pursuit. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape, every time she met that person, she would be cut and stabbed by him, and the repeated painful torture made life worse than death. Liu Ye kept running, and finally got rid of that person, and when he turned around, he ran into him again.

The blade that flashed with cold light slashed head-on again, and this time, Liu Ye gave up struggling, closed his eyes and waited for him to cut off his life. It is better to die than to be tortured frequently, and it is better to die a hundred times. Suddenly, the cry of children was heard in the distance, the cry was very familiar, and she craned her ears to listen carefully, and heard more and more clearly. It was the young man crying, and Zhao Ziqing, the two children were crying very sadly, as if they had suffered a great pain.

Liu Ye was in a hurry, she stood up and ran in the forest, regardless of whether that person's sword would be cut down or not, she had to find them. The young husband lost his mother, and he couldn't let her be left out in the cold anymore, Zhao Ziqing has always been sensible, he should comfort her, how can he cry with her? What happened to the children? Where's Sister Sister? Did she accompany the children?

"Young Husband...... Ziqing...... Sister Xiaoxiao ......" Liu Ye called them out, running in the forest desperately, even if the thorns pierced the skin and the rain and wind invaded the sky, she did not stop.

I don't know how long she ran, a white bright spot appeared in front of her, she didn't even think about running towards the white dot, the light became more and more dazzling, and the white dot became bigger and bigger, integrating her whole person into it.

"Ah......" Liu Ye felt a strong suction, sucking her out of the illusion and bringing her back to reality. The children's cries were in her ears, and she could feel them lying on top of her.

Hearing Liu Ye's voice, Zhao Ziqing and the young man forgot to cry and stared at her in a daze. Liu Ye slowly opened his eyes and looked at them with the same confusion. Finally, a warm smile welled on her lips and she stretched out her arms to embrace them.

"Ziqing, young husband, my aunt is back!"

The children cried with joy, and their two little heads drilled into Liu Ye's arms, hugging her happily, calling "aunt" and "aunt".

Liu Ye had a terrible headache, and it took a while to ease up, she sat up with the children in her arms, gasped weakly, looked at the empty room, recalled the scene of the assassination of the king at the banquet last night, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't Aunt Xiao come back?" ”

Zhao Ziqing and the young man shook their heads again and again: "No, I didn't come back last night......"

"What?" Liu Ye's heart trembled, he hurriedly got out of bed, and instructed the children, "Don't come out, just play in the room, Ziqing, take care of the young husband." ”

Zhao Ziqing was very obedient, he hugged the young man, watched Liu Ye go out quickly, and didn't even ask why.

Shizhong looked at Qing Ling, who was covered in injuries, with pity, Liu Ye happened to see this scene, and mistakenly thought that Qing Ling, who had a blue nose and swollen face, thought that Feng Yan, the soles of his feet were weak, and he sat down paralyzed against the door frame.

"Princess!" When Shizhong heard the movement, he looked back, quickly stepped forward to help her up, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" Your head hurts, right? ”

Liu Ye didn't have time to answer, he looked at Qing Ling with wide eyes, and then realized that he recognized the wrong person, but he was even more surprised: "How could Qing Ling ...... Didn't my sister come back ......?"

Shi Zhong lowered his head, thinking of Feng Yan, whose whereabouts were unknown, and couldn't help but feel sad. Liu Ye took his hand and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" Where's Sister Sister? How could Qingling be injured like this? ”

Saying that, the guards had already invited the doctor, Liu Ye didn't ask any more, and hurriedly arranged for the doctor to enter the house to treat Qingling. Qing Ling only suffered a skin injury, and the reason why he didn't wake up was because he was pointed to a faint point. The doctor unlocked the acupuncture points for her, and Qingling let out a sigh and looked at them with his eyes faintly.

The first thing she saw was Shizhong, her face turned pale with excitement, and the doctor warned her not to be excited, Qingling smiled self-deprecatingly: "I thought I would never see him again, how could I not be excited!" ”

Shi Zhong was glad that she was fine, and he didn't mind her straightforwardness, and asked softly, "Who attacked you, remember?" ”

Qing Ling nodded: "Esanke, I remember that woman called him Esanke!" ”

Esanke! Sure enough, it was him! Shi Zhong and Liu Ye glanced at each other, and then asked, "That woman stopped him?" That's why he let you go? ”

Qing Ling smiled bitterly, covered his neck, and said with palpitations: "He has killed the red eye, how can he let me go!" The woman persuaded him to stop, but he didn't listen! At the time, I thought I wouldn't survive, but I didn't expect ......."

Qing Ling thought for a while and said in wonder: "The person who saved me has very high martial arts, not like the guards in the palace, nor like our people." His kung fu is on par with my grandfather, and even better than my grandfather. ”

"Oh? Is there still such a person in the palace? Shi Zhong frowned puzzled, he believed Qing Ling's words, but he couldn't think of who was the person who saved her.

Qing Ling said "um" affirmatively, and added: "Isanke's right shoulder was hit by a hidden weapon, and he immediately couldn't move, and that person didn't even show his face, this kind of skill can be called a hundred steps through Yang!" Although the skills of Master Shi and General Chang can be like this, can you beat people like this with leaves? ”

"Leaves?" Shi Zhong and Liu Ye said in unison, Shi Zhong couldn't think of anyone who had this ability, but Liu Ye had a candidate in his heart, he could take a leaf and cut a poisonous snake a hundred steps away into two pieces. He saved Qingling but the road was uneven? Or is there another intention? Everything, Liu Ye can't be sure yet!

"Qingling, why did you go down the mountain last night?"

Qing Ling glanced at Liu Ye and said, "The little sister-in-law is gone, don't you know yet?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Ye's face turned pale, and his heart was not settled. At this time, Chang Hui rushed to report that the princes and nobles at the banquet last night had gathered in the Chengyang Palace, and the Han envoy begged for the princess.
