At that moment, it was as if someone had struck me the back of the head with a hammer, and my mind went blank.

And the familiar figure of that person was like a knife carving, deeply engraved in my eyes.

"Little ...... Little ......"

I muttered but couldn't utter a complete sentence, and when the "guest" sat there and looked at me sideways, his whole body seemed to be frozen into an ice sculpture for a moment, motionless, and even stopped breathing.

He and I stared at each other in silence.

I don't know how long they looked at each other like this, and a gentle and gentle voice sounded next to them: "Qingying, you are here." ”

While speaking, Pei Yuanxiu had already stood up from his seat, slowly walked in front of me, and said softly: "He's here, so I asked you to come and meet him." You've been seen for a long time. ”

Indeed, it has been a long time since then.

I was dragged slowly into the antechamber by him, and the guest in the seat did not say a word from beginning to end, but the eyes that had been as clear as a lake were surging with countless things, but they were covered by a heavy look, leaving only his hands that had fought on the battlefield and given me endless tenderness, and the slight trembling marks when he pinched the armrests of the chair.

I could feel him trying to control himself, as the handle of the mahogany chair was almost shattered.

At this moment, I finally walked in front of him: "Little ...... It's been a long time. ”

I want to call him "Xiao Wu", but obviously, the person in front of me is no longer the Xiao Wu who laughed and scolded at the beginning; I wanted to call him His Highness, but now he doesn't seem to be the original "Your Highness", and after thinking about it, I can only avoid addressing him and say the simplest three words.

And sitting on the chair, he finally let go of the armrest that was about to be crushed by him, and slowly stood up: "Qingying, long time no see." ”

When he said this, he and I seemed to tremble.

This person is Pei Yuanfeng!

Speaking of which, I wasn't too surprised to see him, after all, the people on both sides had already fought each other because of the matter of Li'er, and according to the current pattern of the world, Xichuan and Jiangnan would clash sooner or later, and now that I am in Pei Yuanxiu's place, it is not too surprising to see him.

It's just that it's one thing to understand, and it's another thing to really see him and be shocked in my heart.

I even had the feeling that I had met someone I had met in a previous life.

It was precisely because of this feeling that after I said those two words to him, we all fell silent, as if we didn't know what to say.

Perhaps, yes, there is nothing more to say.

Even when Pei Yuanxiu was standing beside me without saying a word, another voice sounded next to me-

"Yuanfeng, who is she?"

I have been looking at Pei Yuanxiu since I came in through the back door, all my attention was on him, and I ignored that there was a person sitting next to him, and now this voice suddenly sounded, but it was a very familiar voice, I only felt a sudden jump in my heart, and turned my head.

A woman stood up from the side, looking at Pei Yuanfeng with a look of confusion on her beautiful face, and then looked at me again.

At this moment, the shock in my heart was as good as just seeing Pei Yuanfeng.

This woman is petite and wears a simple and simple dress, but she can hardly hide her natural beauty; She is not young, but there is still an innocent look on her face, but that look is not pretending, not pretending, but a kind of cleanliness and flawlessness that shines through the deepest part of her eyes.

She turned out to be Xue Muhua!

I could barely believe my eyes and ears.

She just called Pei Yuanfeng - Yuanfeng?!

This kind of intimate salutation is obviously not something that ordinary people in relationships would use.

Although I have always known that she is a member of Changmingzong, she will naturally be in Xichuan, so it is not surprising that she and Pei Yuanfeng can get acquainted, but I also have doubts in my heart, after all, Yao Lao has broken away from Changmingzong to set up her own door in Jiangnan, as the daughter of Yao Lao, why did she not leave with Yao Lao, but has been staying in Xichuan, and now looking at her situation, it seems that she still came to Jiangnan on behalf of Xichuan.

But, after all, this is a family affair between Yao Lao and her, plus I was poisoned before, and I have been worried about my daughter, and I don't have so much energy to inquire about other people's news, but when I suddenly saw it today, I found that things were far more complicated than I thought.

She actually asked Pei Yuanfeng - who am I?

What does that mean? Even if I am not a confidant and friend with her, I have had a relationship with her, and I have lived in her house for so long, and my involvement with Huang Tianba has also made her jealous, how can she forget about me, and even ask me who I am!

Moreover, she just called Pei Yuanfeng "Yuanfeng", which may be a name between acquaintances, which is not abrupt, but when it is placed on her, it makes me feel very weird.

I looked at her and couldn't say a word, but Pei Yuanfeng raised his head and glanced at me, his eyes flickered, as if he was hinting at something, and then said to her: "This is Qingying-Yue Qingying." ”

"Yue Qingying?" She whispered my name, and her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, but when she raised her head to look at me, her eyes were still blank, and she just nodded to me with a rusty and polite attitude: "I've been looking up for a long time." ”

My brow furrowed.

If a person's memory is not good, and he forgot about me after three or five years of separation, but after being reminded by others, he should still have some impressions, but Xue Muhua in front of him seems to have no memory of me at all, after experiencing so much with me, and even giving me such heavy injuries, she actually said to me - "I have admired it for a long time."

This kind of unfamiliar kind words, compared to the bowl of soup medicine poured into me at the beginning, pierced my heart like a needle.

And at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in my heart!

Just when I was silent with her, a group of people came outside, it was not surprising that it was Yao Lao, he seemed to have hurried over as soon as he heard that there was a guest here, with a hint of eagerness on his face, and Xue Muhua saw him, but he also obediently said goodbye, like an ordinary daughter seeing her father, although her attitude was somewhat embarrassed and rusty.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu, who had been sitting on the main seat, spoke: "Your father and daughter should have a good gathering, I have already sent someone to prepare in the side hall." ”

Yao Lao glanced at him, didn't speak, and even Xue Muhua didn't speak, the two of them only explained a word, and then turned around and left, but before leaving, Xue Muhua glanced back at Pei Yuanfeng, and Pei Yuanfeng also nodded at her in response.

As soon as they left, Pei Yuanxiu turned his head to look at us again, with a smile on his face: "Qingying, the scenery in the garden is good, you take Yuanfeng over for a walk, you-I think you haven't seen you for so long, you must have a lot to say." I'll go see Li'er. ”

With that, he turned and left.

After everyone left, Pei Yuanfeng and I still stood in the front hall, silent for I don't know how long, and finally when I couldn't stop talking, I turned around and said softly: "You come with me." ”

As I spoke, I walked back, and just as I opened the beaded curtain and walked out of the side door, a pair of warm hands suddenly reached out behind me, grasping the emaciated shoulders on both sides of me.

His palms were very hot, as if he couldn't stand the heat anymore, and he trembled slightly.

I felt as if he wanted to take me into his arms, but he didn't, just held my shoulder, but the action and his trembling had completely betrayed all the emotions of his calm and stiff attitude, and I froze there, unable to move my steps again.

For a while, I couldn't enter or retreat.

The beaded curtain, dangling between me and him, made a rustling sound.

It seems that these years, like water, have just flowed away.

In such a voice, he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect to see you again." ”

I didn't look back, just said in a choked voice: "You think I'm dead?" ”

“……”

"I'm sorry."

"No, you don't need to be sorry."

“……”

"It's me, I shouldn't—shouldn't trust him too much."

When he said "him", his hands were obviously heavier, and the weight of that moment almost crushed me and him, I finally turned around slowly, looking at the other side of the shaking bead curtain, his somewhat blurred face, obviously so young and handsome face, this moment also seemed so pale.

I barely smiled: "That's my own choice, you don't blame yourself." ”

"But I know that you haven't had a good time all these years."

“……”

I didn't ask him why he knew, after all, if he could arrange the assassination in Yaowu Tower, then in the imperial city, at least in the capital, there was his power, and in those years I was also restless in the palace, all kinds of climbs and falls, it is not difficult to know my news.

It's just that no matter how you climb and fall, it's a thing of the past.

Thinking of this, I smiled indifferently: "Good or bad, it's all in the past." ”

"Passed?"

"Yes, it's over." I calmly looked at him on the other side of the bead curtain and said, "I'm still alive, I found my daughter, and I was reunited with her." Even if there was any pain before, I forgot about it. ”

He seemed to freeze for a while, did not speak for a long time, and after not knowing how long he was silent, he said as if with a wry smile:

"Forget, okay. Forget about the good. ”

I don't know why, he said this, it seems that there is a deeper meaning.

Thinking of the aura in my mind just now, I opened my mouth and asked, "What about Xue Muhua?" Why doesn't she remember me? What happened to you? ”

As if he had known that I would ask, he quickly said: "Not long after Huang Tianba left, she - boiled herself a bowl of medicine, and after she woke up, she forgot a lot of things. ”

Wash the marrow flowers!

Before, I already had feelings, but when I really heard Pei Yuanfeng say it, my heart was still extremely shocked.

Xue Muhua drank the marrow washing flower for himself!

That was when she was jealous and wanted to cut off the connection between me and Huang Tianba, and the kind of medicine she poured into me, after drinking that kind of medicine, I forgot many people and many things, and the whole person seemed to be reborn and became a completely new person.

It's just that I didn't take much medicine, and with some accidents, I still regained my memory, but I have already embarked on a road that I can't go back to.

But I didn't expect that Xue Muhua actually gave himself that kind of medicine!

Pei Yuanfeng said that not long after Huang Tianba left, she drank the marrow washing flower for herself, how painful she was at that time, she was so painful that she couldn't bear that kind of torment when she was sober, even if she knew that she drank the medicine, she might lose her mind, and even become an idiot, she still had to do it!
