When she slept until nearly the hour, Mu Jiaojiao woke up leisurely.

After getting up and dressing up, Cui Pu slowly asked the maid who came to serve them: "How is the county king doing now?"

"It's much better! Just now, listening to the people in the courtyard of the county king, the county king has just woken up!"

"It's good to wake up. Cui Pu nodded, then took Mu Jiaojiao's hand, "Let's go, let's talk to this old monster!"

When the couple came to the door of the bedroom of the king of Hejian County, they saw Liang Changshi and others kneeling in front of the bed of the king of Hejian County, Liang Changshi held a bowl of porridge in his hand, and persuaded him bitterly: "King Jun, you can eat something! If you don't eat, your body will collapse!"

The two old ladies couldn't stop persuading.

However, the king of Hejian didn't seem to hear it, but just lay there motionless with his eyes closed.

Cui Pu finally understood what Mu Jiaojiao's so-called 'single-minded pursuit of death' was. Looking at his expression, it really looks like that.

He immediately raised his voice and said, "Don't persuade him." Since he wants to die, let him die! But, King Hejian, can we settle the accounts before we die? At least you can pay back what you owe to my wife and my eldest lady before you die?"

When the king of Hejian heard the voice, he opened his eyes violently, and saw the husband and wife appear at the door.

"You, how can you ......" he opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and weak. His eyes lingered on Mu Jiaojiao for a long time before he moved away.

Liang Changshi hurriedly said: "Last night, my subordinates invited the prefect's wife. If it weren't for the prefect's wife, you would most likely not survive last night!"

The King of Hejian immediately glared at him fiercely.

"By the way, he didn't say I forgot. And the medical expenses, don't forget to give them!" Cui Pu immediately said again.

Wang Fu closed his eyes again and did not move.

Mu Jiaojiao walked in with Cui Pu. Glancing lightly at the king of Hejian on the sickbed, she said softly: "You all go out and let me talk to him alone." ”

"I'm going too?" Cui Pu asked in a low voice.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

"I need to be there to protect you!"

"What kind of attack power do you think he can have now?"

Cui Pu immediately lowered his head. "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside. ”

Mu Jiaojiao nodded again and stopped talking.

Liang Changshi hurriedly looked at the King of Hejian County, but saw that he was still motionless and had no intention of refusing, so he also lowered his head and walked out with a group of people and horses.

Mu Jiaojiao slowly stepped forward.

She looked at the King of Hejian who was still lying motionless on the bed with her eyes closed, and smiled lightly: "I used to know that you killed my aunt and gave me a Gu, and I still treat you as a ruthless character." As a result, I now know that you are nothing more than that. Timid and cowardly, afraid to face reality. Once you tear the beautiful layer of window paper on the surface, revealing the tattered paper inside, you feel faceless and bent on death?"

The King of Hejian slowly opened his eyes. "You're thinking too much. ”

"Well, why do you want to die?"

"Because I've done everything I need to do. It's not much fun for me to live now, so why do I still linger in this world?" said the king of Hejian County.

"Then you should have died thirty years ago. Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

The king of the river was stagnant.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled coldly at him again. "Just admit it, you're a selfish and cowardly person, and you don't dare to face the reality at all. If I hadn't come to you that time and asked the truth, you would definitely continue to live. And I came, I asked, dug out all the words you hid in the depths of your heart, and you began to have no love, so you simply sought death!"

"That's right, you're right! I do feel shameless in the face of you, and I will only make this decision after thinking about it. King Hejian smiled bitterly, "As you said, in fact, as early as thirty years ago, after killing Princess An Le and killing your mother, I should have died." But I never died, not because I didn't want to die, and I don't know why, I just didn't die, but I lived until that time. In those years, my days were also boring, just playing the piano and reading books, and sleeping in a daze. Many times when I wake up, I stare at the sky in a daze, wondering what I'm living for. ”

"It wasn't until the little boy who saw the Gu worm came to report that the mother Gu was dead, that I remembered that I still have a daughter in this world! Then, I came to you on a whim. I originally wanted to find you, and our father and daughter died together, so don't pass on this filthy blood from generation to generation. But when I see you, I can't do anything. Later, when you gave birth to a big lady, I couldn't do it anymore. And then in a daze, things dragged on until now. After confessing everything to you that time, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that what I had been waiting for was that day! Now that I have waited, I can die with peace of mind. ”

"You are going to die now, just to fulfill your own wishes, have you ever thought of me? You are just dying like this, how should I explain to the saint?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

"Don't worry, I've already written a letter, and after I die, Liang Changshi will take it to Chang'an and hand it over to the sage. After the saint saw it, he understood, he definitely won't blame you. The king of Hejian replied immediately.

"What about the big lady?"

She ...... She's still young, and maybe she won't see me and cry at first. But in a few years, when she grows up, there will be more and more friends around her, and someone will definitely take my place, and she will definitely forget me at that time. It would be better to forget me now than to forget me then! Otherwise, when she grows up, she will never forget me. ”

Mu Jiaojiao chuckled suddenly.

"You did arrange everything very well. But I want to ask you, in that case, why don't you go to Chang'an to die? Why don't you go to Yangzhou to die? Why don't you die in Bingzhou? Why do you have to die in Guangzhou? Die here, the first person to be notified after the incident must be us, and then we will come to see you. Then the first person to send you off is us. Even if you write a letter to a saint, there will certainly be many twists in the process, and these turns will deepen the impression of this in my heart. In this way, I don't want to forget this and forget you for the rest of my life!

The king of Hejian lowered his eyes and was silent.

"If you don't speak, if you don't speak, that's acquiescence. Mu Jiaojiao chuckled again, "King of Hejian County, your father is really doing a good job! When my aunt was pregnant with me, you forced her to beat me off." If she doesn't defeat it, you will plant Gu in my body. I have been tortured by Gu worms for more than ten years, and this life was almost tossed away. It's easy for the Gu worm to be gone, and I have lived a stable life, but you have appeared again, and you have been lying by my side and not leaving, and you are trying to rob my daughter. ”

"When the truth is revealed, you don't want to run. Before you ran away, you thought you had everything in order, but you still gave me such a big gift. I want to ask you, why? Is it because I have your blood in my bones? So you have to do this to me?"

"But have you ever thought about it, although I am your daughter by blood, but I have lived for almost thirty years, and you have fulfilled the obligation to support me for a day? You even tried to kill me several times! The father I called me all these years is someone else! You have not paid me at all, but now you want me to remember you deeply for the rest of your life? Why? What qualifications do you have to do this?"

"I ......"

The King of Hejian was speechless.

After Mu Jiaojiao turned around and left that day, he only felt that his mind was empty, his heart was empty, and even his whole person was empty.

What's the point of being alive? he thought to himself, and then he thought, "Well, let's just die!"

There seemed to be a little pain in his body, but he didn't feel that much pain. The corners of his mouth began to bleed again, and he didn't care. Even he felt the pain of the bite coming from his body very comfortable, so that he closed his eyes comfortably and fell asleep.

If it weren't for Liang Changshi's shouting to wake him up, he would have been asleep for a long time in this comfortable dream!

In the days that followed, Liang Changshi said many words in his ear. The two old doctors stayed up all night to save his life, and they stayed in front of his bed. But he just thought it was funny.

"Don't waste all your efforts, let's go back and rest! My life was originally forcib, and I am fortunate to have survived until now. It's nothing to die now, really. He said this to them, but he saw that the men shook their heads in unison.

"Why bother?" he shook his head, and closed his eyes again.

Actually, just like that, dying in this place, he was already very satisfied.

At that time, he didn't understand why he felt satisfied. But now, he understood—it turned out that he just wanted to die in this place!

In this way, he is actually quite shameless. caused so much suffering to Mu Jiaojiao, and as a result, she had to find something for her when she was dying. It's no wonder that she was angry, and now she found herself and scolded her.

"I'm sorry. He whispered.

Mu Jiaojiao sneered. "After that, you're going to seek death again?"

"Nope. The King of Hejian hurriedly shook his head, "If you want to die, I will definitely find another place, and I will definitely not implicate you." ”

"Good, good. With your words, I am relieved. Mu Jiaojiao nodded, suddenly closed her eyes, and two teardrops the size of beans rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, the king of Hejian County shrank suddenly.

"You ......"

"I've heard everything you said, and I understand what you mean. Now, my purpose of bringing you back has been accomplished. Okay, I'm leaving, you take care of it first! When your health is better, go back to Chang'an, and use your death to disgust those people!"

Suddenly opening his eyes, Mu Jiaojiao dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

"No...... "......Looking at her back as she left quickly, King Hejian was breathless, and hurriedly stretched out his hand.

However, the five fingers grabbed in mid-air, and his movements stopped. He found that he couldn't even pronounce Mu Jiaojiao's name! As soon as these two words came out, he felt as if his lips and teeth were sticked, and he couldn't spit out anything.

What qualifications does such a self have to talk to her? The one who chose to give up on her at the beginning was herself.

Mu Jiaojiao walked out of the room quickly, and the tears on her face startled Cui Pu.

"Lady, what's wrong? Did he bully you?" he quickly asked.

Mu Jiaojiao rolled up her sleeves and wiped her face indiscriminately, and then said to Liang Changshi: "I saved the life of the county king, so can I ask for a reward now?"

"Yes, Mrs. Prefect, just say it. Liang Changshi said busily.

Mu Jiaojiao immediately glanced at Cui Pu. "Go. ”

Cui Pu immediately jumped into the room, closed the door, and waved his fists at the king of Hejian County.

There was a crackling sound in the room immediately, and listening to the sound, Cui Pu's range of movements was really not small.

Liang Changshi's face changed, and he hurriedly raised his feet to enter, but Mu Jiaojiao immediately opened his arms and stopped at the door. "No one is allowed to enter!"

"The Prefect's Lady ......"

"That's what I want to be paid for. If you don't give it, then I'll go in and give him a few more stitches right now, so that he can get back to the way he was last night!"

Liang Changshi immediately didn't dare to move.

Listening to a series of sounds inside, after about a cup of tea, the door finally opened, and Cui Pu walked out.

"Alright, it's over!"

Putting down the rolled up cuffs, Cui Pu clapped his hands. "Lady, what else do you command?"

"No, let's go!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu nodded hurriedly. "Okay, let's go now!

Holding her hand firmly, the couple left this place generously, pedaled, and went home!
