Forty-five sleepless nights
As before, Huo Lian knelt until dark, and was about to tell the emperor to go home.
Seeing Lu Yizhi today, the emperor felt even more guilty, and his anger towards Huo Lian could not be suppressed, so he went back and thought about it behind closed doors.
"When to send people to the palace, and when to come back."
Huo Lian didn't plead, saying that Shengchen couldn't stand His Majesty, so he handed over his duties to Zhu Chuan, and went home with Zhu Chuan teary-eyed.
The punishment that the emperor had thought about behind closed doors did not make the atmosphere of the Du Judge nervous, and Qixing, who was locked in the depths of the prison, did not know about it, but she could see that Huo Lian was a little different tonight.
"What's the matter with you?"
Qixing, who had always been concentrating on eating, suddenly asked.
Huo Lian looked up at her and said, "Don't think about anything from me." ”
Qixing swallowed a mouthful of soup fed by Chun Niangzi, and looked at his bowl quickly: "I mean, why don't you eat it?" ”
Since it was two people eating, Qixing was very fair, and he ate half of it for him.
Huo Lian looked down in front of him, it turned out that he was holding the fast son in his hand, and the plate that was put over by Qixing didn't move much, and it had been arranged in the shape of a goose wing, which looked a little funny.
He smiled, didn't speak, and ate from the plates one by one.
Qixing didn't ask any more questions, and Yuchun continued to feed the lady.
After eating, Huo Lian went to wash up, and when she came back, she saw Qixing sitting in front of the embroidery frame.
Zhu Chuan really brought the embroidery frame from Linglong Fang before, and the maidservant also told him that although the embroidery was completed, the construction period was coming.
Zhu Chuan was indignant and sued Huo Lian to become the second Linglong Fang.
Huo Lian stood still, a little curious, and then saw Qixing walking with a flying needle with his tied hand.
It's a real flying needle.
The four servants watched her nervously, and every time they saw the tiny flying needle flash, their hearts trembled.
In the past few days, they have also heard that this well-behaved girl has also lived in a cell before.
"Felons' cells, you know?" Doctor Sui in the cell said mysteriously.
They are also very familiar with Dr. Sui, and Miss Wanwan tossed herself in various ways back then, and every time Dr. Sui saved her life.
This time, they directly told Dr. Sui that he was not needed.
"You don't know how to behave." They said in unison, "We all feel that we have become the personal servants of a noble lady from a good one." ”
Life is simple and elegant.
Doctor Sui grinned and said: "This young lady is not good, last time she made herself covered in bruises, I saved her life, and the injury was not healed, so she ran away." ”
He gestured with his hand.
"Such a thick iron chain, she just broke it, and it disappeared with a swish."
After that, he lowered his voice again.
"The Governor didn't even have time to catch her."
This young lady is so powerful, no wonder the governor has to guard it like this, well, this young lady is so powerful, let the governor catch it for the second time.
They can't run anymore, or their lives won't be saved.
Fortunately, the flying needles only penetrated the brocade every time, not them.
Qixing popped the needle out, motioned for a woman to bring it back for her, and put it in her hand, and so on.
Huo Lian waved her hand beside her, and the four women hurriedly retreated.
"What is Liu Yan doing in Linglong Fang?" He asked.
Qixing said: "It's not strange, Lord Liu also wants to grasp my movements." ”
A needle was pricked out, and Huo Lian motioned to hand over the needle.
Huo Lian pinched the falling needle and looked at the flower that was gradually taking shape on the embroidery frame.
"Liu Yan's benefactor is a Mo disciple." He said, looking at her thoughtfully, "Does Liu Yan mean you by that sentence?" ”
Qixing asked curiously, "Which sentence?" ”
Huo Lian didn't say anything, retracted her gaze and flicked the needle in her hand, and the embroidery needle wore the brocade diagonally and fell steadily.
"Sleeping." He said.
The lights in the cell went out, the person on the bed was silent, and the woman's breath next to her had fallen into a deep sleep, but Huo Lian knew that she hadn't slept yet.
What is the feeling of killing relatives in righteousness.
It's funny.
Such a thing is just the favor of a Mo disciple, where can it be said that he can destroy his relatives, what does the life and death of Mo men have to do with him.
Dare to compare with him Huo Lian.
He Huo Lianke was an abandoned baby, floating in the river, rescued by Liang Temple, raised, taught martial arts tactics, and made him have a father to respect and a brother to be amiable.
The grace of nurturing and the love of teaching, this can be regarded as a parent.
Only by killing relatives who do such evil can it be regarded as righteous annihilation.
Huo Lian's hands clenched tightly, and her teeth clenched.
"I'm doing evil." An old voice sighed in his ear, "Bazi, why do you bother? ”
This is a dream, Huo Lian knows that his father-in-law is dead, and he can't hear his voice except in a dream.
He closed his eyes and clenched his hands motionless, ignoring them.
But the father-in-law slapped him heavily.
"Bazi, you open your eyes and see, it's easy to kill me."
"You're good at using a knife, just cut here, just one slash."
"You've never killed someone standing still, have you? Yes, you were all the Wildlanders who were killing the raiders on horseback. ”
"That's easy, how about I run too?"
A knife was shoved into his hand, but it was so hot that it stabbed his palm and burned his flesh, and he could not hold it.
"Fucking do it." The voice in his ear became furious, "What's wrong with killing an evildoer?" This is called righteous annihilation! ”
Huo Lian opened his eyes reluctantly: "Then why don't you kill!" Wouldn't it be enough to kill the evil King of Jin? ”
The burning fire, the dark night, the old general smiled helplessly.
"I can't." He said, "I can't do it, Bazi, you can do it." ”
He pounced as he spoke.
"You see, you've cut off, my head, my head."
The spinning head in the dim rushed towards him, Huo Lian only felt that his hands were full of blood, and his heart was full of grief and indignation.
"He is the son of your deceased, you can't bear it, I was raised by you with your own hands, you are willing to do it!"
No wonder, that Seven Star said that your last words were to say sorry to me.
You're sorry for me!
He let out a roar and opened his eyes suddenly, dizzy and tense, but a hand slapped him on the back.
There is a soft voice in my ears.
"Cry, cry."
It wasn't an old voice, it wasn't a dream, and besides, he had it in his arms......
Even if his vision was dim, when he lowered his head, he could see the person in his arms looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Huo Lian pushed the person in his arms away, but because his arms were tied together, he was dragged down again.
The woman who was held and pushed away before did not panic, but sighed: "You still have nightmares now." ”
What is called now.
Huo Lian didn't ask a question Have you seen me have nightmares before, but I know that if I ask, I will definitely get such a ridiculous and justified answer that I have seen.
After entering the Metropolitan Inspectorate, he had almost no nightmares.
Even if he had nightmares, he never hugged the people around him.......
Because the arms are tied together?
But he has also been tied to Wanwan for a long time, and he has never been like this.
Besides, Wanwan is already a very familiar person, this woman has only been around for a few days, how can he hug it like a habit?
She also filmed him.....
"You were filming me in the first place?" Huo Lian asked reluctantly.
Thinking that when he first fell asleep, he felt as if he was being slapped by his father-in-law, so in fact, he was really being filmed.
Qixing said: "You are gritting your teeth and shaking, I will pat you and let you relax." Then he asked, "Have you dreamed of your father?" You're being forced to kill him again in your dreams? ”
Her voice was one after another.
"Didn't your father-in-law repent halfway?"
"He didn't collude with King Jin at all, did he?"
"Why does he have to kill him instead of killing King Jin himself?"
As she spoke, she moved over and was almost in front of him again, staring at him with a pair of eyes sparkling.
"Because, son of the deceased?"
Huo Lian froze, he not only had nightmares around this strange woman, but even said things in his dreams.
Why would he be so unguarded?
Since the incident in Jindi, he has never relaxed his vigilance, let alone said superfluous words to others, and never vented his emotions in front of others, only a few times when he faced things that were not human.....
Like that sword.
In the dark cell, Huo Lian stared at the woman in front of her, her breath was calm, her body melted into the night, and her eyes were shining with cold light.
"It's the sword, isn't it?" He said suddenly.
At first hearing this, Qixing was stunned and stiffened for a while.
In his ears was Huo Lian's continued voice.
"Your father said that you were not by his side, but you looked like your father everywhere, and there were some things that happened in Jindi, and you were like being on the scene." Huo Lian raised her hand, because the rope tied together made Qixing stick closer, looked into her eyes and asked, "That six-foot sword, doesn't it have a secret method of transmitting sound for thousands of miles?" ”
Qixing snorted and laughed, lowered his head with a smile, leaned against his chest, and nodded: "Yes, that sword...."
She looked up at him, her eyes shining.
"I can hear and see, and now, I can still speak."
Although she made a guess, Huo Lian also felt that she was talking nonsense.
When he heard Qixing laugh and say this even more nonsense sentence, the tension of the previous nightmare, the ups and downs of emotions, and the confusion of his mind suddenly dissipated in an instant.
There are some things that I don't want to say, and suddenly I feel that it's nothing.
All the things of the past are gone.
He looked at the woman in front of him who was still smiling with her head down, and said, "King Jin is the son of my father-in-law's deceased. ”
Qixing was a little surprised, he replied, looking up in surprise.
Huo Lian didn't look at her anymore, and raised her head to look at the darkness.
"Don't you want to know the truth?" He said, "Want to know that my stepfather was wronged? Did he collude with King Jin? ”
He shook his head as he spoke.
"He didn't collude with King Jin."
Without waiting for Seven Stars to react, he nodded again.
"But he wasn't wronged either."
