Chapter Seventy-Nine: Finding Out the True Identity
The bath in the flower stream was so quiet that the faint sound of the flowers and leaves breaking free from the branches and fleeing could be heard clearly. A white light shines through the thin veil on the window, slowly projecting onto the light and fluttering white curtains, thus reflecting a brighter light.
Hua Yan was awakened by this dazzling light, and wanted to open his eyes, but he felt as if his eyes were glued by a strong glue, and he couldn't open them. She turned her head away from the light, and slowly stretched out her left hand to cover her eyes, a small gesture, but it involved all the pain in her body, and she had to put her hand back in place. After struggling for a while, she finally managed to open her eyes, but her sleeping eyes didn't seem to be back to work, so that her eyes were still hazy, and her blurred vision made her feel like she was in a fantasy.
Where am I? Is it heaven?
She slowly raised her right hand and gently opened the curtain a gap, trying to look at the scene outside the curtain.
"Miss, are you awake?!" A girl in a blue shirt leaned over and said.
Huayan raised his eyes and looked at it for a while, only to realize that the person who spoke was Shenglan.
Is it Shenglan? Why are you crying? ...... This room is so fragrant, it is the fragrance of apricot blossoms...... It's really like my bathing flower stream...... No, I'm right here......
In order to stop worrying about Shenglan, she wanted to sit up immediately, and tried to do so, but her body was out of her control, and she still couldn't move. In the end, she could only sigh lightly and quietly watch Sheng Lan busy before and after. But fortunately, I am still alive in this world.
Immediately afterwards, the footsteps of many people sounded in the room of the painting one after another, slowly, anxiously, and quickly filling the whole room.
Painting Xia Shan and Painting Lady also hurried over, and they gathered around the edge of Hua Yan's bed, not knowing what they were talking about.
Hua Yan couldn't understand who was in her room or what was talking, she only felt dizzy, and she was always in a half-asleep state.
"Dad, mother, I'm fine, don't worry too much." She dropped a word of comfort to her parents in a blur, and fell back asleep.
I don't know how many days and nights have passed. Early one morning, Huayan came to his senses for the second time.
This time, her strength had recovered a lot, and she was able to sit down on the edge of the bed with her own strength.
Narrowly escaped death again.
She couldn't help but be fascinated by the petals that fell on the windowsill. Everything that had happened in the past flashed back before her eyes.
Her mood went from light to heavy.
"Miss?" Sheng Lan screamed in surprise, walked quickly to Hua Yan's side, looked at Hua Yan worriedly, and held a basin of hot water in his hand.
Hua Yan pulled out of his memories, turned his head to look at Sheng Lan solemnly, and suddenly smiled softly.
There are still people in this world that she cares about, and she is still willing to stay, if she is allowed to make a decision between life and death again.
"Miss, are you alright? Do you feel better? Shenglan asked worriedly.
Hua Yan shook his head to indicate that it was okay, stood up, and struggled to the chair next to him and sat down. Looking back, Sheng Lan was still motionless, and said with a smile, "When are you going to put my face wash down?" I've been lying here for a month or two, and I haven't washed up, so if someone comes, how will I see someone? Put the water down. ”
Sheng Lan, who was still immersed in the shock just now, came to his senses and walked over to Huayan happily.
Hua Yan was about to reach out to catch the water, but was taken away by Sheng Lan again.
"How can this little water be enough, Miss, you wait for me, I'll go fill a few more buckets of water, so that you can wash well." Sheng Lan said happily and ran out happily.
Hua Yan smiled and shook his head, stepping on the ground, smelling the familiar smell in the air, and then he felt that he was a living person. She stood up firmly, came to the railing, and looked down at everything in the garden.
The bird's nest built in spring on the tree, the swallow is gone. The foliage of the trees had become depressed, and they were all floating in the small pond next to it. The pond is also uncleaned, and dead leaves and weeds cover the surface of the water.
I think my mother has no intention of managing it because of my injury.
A gust of cold wind swept the entire bath flower stream, and Hua Yan couldn't help but clasp his arms and take two steps back. She had to turn around and go back to the house to add some clothes, for winter had arrived.
It didn't take long for Katsuran to prepare the bathing essentials and retreat to the door, waiting for instructions.
After everything was washed, Hua Yan dressed in a clean plain dress and went to meet her parents separately to make them feel at ease.
Although the trauma on her body had healed, she felt a little dizzy after walking a while due to excessive blood loss. With Shenglan's support, he returned to the small pavilion in the bathing flower stream and sat down to rest.
"This awakening, as if centuries have passed, the whole person is also fluttering." Huayan looked into the distance, his eyes obsessed.
"Miss, you sleep this time, your identity is different, the emperor gave you the county lord, and also rewarded you with an immortal gold medal." Sheng Lan accosted him on the side.
"Oh? The emperor is really generous. Hua Yan shook his head and smiled. These things didn't seem special to her.
"But miss, you were so badly wounded this time that you lost almost half of your blood. Fortunately, Fang Hai came over in time. Otherwise......" Shenglan stopped his voice halfway through his words.
Hua Yan brushed up the wind-blown hair on his forehead, looked at the sky, and said with a light smile: "Maybe the task given to me by God in the world has not been completed, so don't let me leave." ”
"Miss......" Sheng Lan wanted to say and stopped.
Hua Yan turned his head and looked back for a while before he said, "What can't you say to me?" ”
Sheng Lan glanced at Hua Yan uneasily, "I'm worried that Miss's body hasn't recovered yet, and after listening to those miscellaneous things outside, Lao Si is sad, so let's take care of it after a while." ”
"It's okay, you say it. This is a critical juncture, and nothing is trivial. Huayan stared at Shenglan and refused to let go.
"Miss, since Songshan came back, your relationship with Taoyuan has been well known. I heard that when the old man went to court recently, he was still talked about by such uneasy and well-meaning people, trying to frame the lord and the Taoyuan righteous people to have a disobedient heart. These are detailed in the letter of the shepherd. And ......," Katsuran said in a calm and swift voice.
Hua Yan frowned and asked tightly, "What else?" ”
"The news from the palace says that the emperor is considering the establishment of a prince, and the possibility of establishing a prince as a prince is extremely high."
"Bring the shepherd's letter."
"Yes, it's all with me." Sheng Lan turned around and took out a delicate small wooden box from the house, opened the lock, and placed it in front of Hua Yan.
Hua Yan quickly checked all the messages in the letter, stood up, and walked to the edge of the pond, silent. After a long time, he said slowly: "Yes, count the days, the day of Liu Yifu's accession to the throne is not far away." History is history after all, and no human can change it without authorization. She turned to face Sheng Lan and continued, "You go to the Yidu Royal Mansion and invite the third prince." ”
"Yes." Sheng Lan was about to retreat, but was stopped by Huayan again, "You don't need to say that I came here to invite, just say that my illness is cured, thank him for his daily concern." ”
"I see." Shenglan leaned down and retreated.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Che heard the news that Huayan had recovered, he hurried to the painting house, and after greeting the painting Xiashan and his wife, he hurriedly followed Sheng Lan to the small pavilion outside the bathing flower stream.
"Yan'er's illness is just right, how can she stand at this tuyere?" Liu Che'er's voice sounded behind Hua Yan.
Hua Yan was seriously dialing the abacus in his heart, and when he heard a familiar voice, he happily turned around to greet him. The sunny smiling face and elegant posture are still the same.
This is another old friend she saw after she escaped death, and she suddenly felt a little stunned in her heart, and wanted to say some warm words, but was blocked by silent tears. She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped it gently, then leaned over to salute.
Liu Che'er hurriedly helped Hua Yan up, "Yan Er and I are polite." Sit down. ”
Hua Yan obediently let him sit down, and shook his head with a smile.
Liu Che'er asked curiously, "What is Yan'er laughing at?" ”
Hua Yan said with emotion: "I don't know when I will become emotional." She shook her head again, "It's not like me at all." ”
"Is it because of me?" Liu Che'er suddenly approached Huayan and asked.
When Hua Yan heard this, he stood for a moment, and then changed his words: "It is rumored that cats have nine lives, and if I am lucky, I will also be favored by God, and I have used several lives so far." I don't know if I'll be so lucky next time. ”
"Don't think about it anymore, what you need now is to get some rest." Liu Che'er suddenly stopped.
Hua Yan smiled apologetically, "What I'm going to say next, I'm afraid I still can't obey my orders well." With that, she stood up and threw a shot at Shenglan.
Sheng Lan immediately understood, and retreated with a few maids and attendants who were following and serving. In the whole bath flower stream, only two people remained, Huayan and Liu Che'er.
Liu Che'er noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, stood up and asked with concern: "Yan'er, you specially asked me to come today, did something happen?" ”
Huayan smiled: "The prince is really transparent. I do have something to say to you. ”
"What?"
Huayan once again confirmed that there was no one around, turned to look at Liu Che'er, and said seriously: "I want to persuade the prince to leave the capital." ”
"Leaving the capital? Why? Liu Che'er asked in surprise.
Huayan thought about it again and again, and said slowly: "It is already the overall situation for the prince to take the throne, and now you can only leave the capital, retreat, and secretly reserve for a comeback in the future." ”
"What do you say? Yan'er? Liu Che'er looked at Huayan in disbelief and said.
Hua Yan continued undisturbed: "I know that you are difficult to accept for a while, but Mrs. Zhang and Xie Hui should cooperate with each other, their power has been entrenched in the court for many years, and it cannot be shaken for a while. You don't have to go toe-to-toe with them. ”
Liu Che'er was so shocked that he took a few steps back, "You...... How do you know this? ”
Huayan knew that persuading Liu Che'er with his current identity would only be in vain, so he said calmly: "Does the prince still remember Jia Yingtai in the Forgotten Dust Building?" ”
"How did you know his name?!"
Huayan lowered his head and smiled, learning Jia Yingtai's voice, and said, "Don't you think I'm very similar to him?" It's just that Jia Yingtai is wearing men's clothes, and I'm wearing women's clothes now. Oh, and yes, and that fake mustache. ”
Liu Che'er was stunned again, he couldn't help but sit on the chair next to him, and sat quietly for a while before slowly coming back to his senses.
He said in a tone that wanted to laugh but couldn't, "So you're ...... For so long, I didn't even notice it...... If you think about it, you ......" he immediately bounced up from his chair again, "so you're a woman disguised as a man!" And you have been hiding it from me for so long?! ”
