Chapter 32: Hotaru
I'm missing Yun Yi a little.
When I arrived in the Peach Blossom Forest, I had cold hands and feet every winter, and the body temperature of the dragon clan was not the same as that of people, but Yun Yi didn't know it, every time it was winter, he would make soup for me all day long, he didn't know how to cook, and the first time he made soup, the small kitchen was burned, and the angry Crushed Bi chased him.
I still remember the first time he ran out of the house with the soup can in his arms, his hair was burned with a beard smell, his white face was also stained with a few black ashes, and the clothes on his body were burned to the ground, but the soup can he was holding tightly in his hand was nothing at all.
When he put the soup can in front of me, I saw that his hands were burned with a lot of blood blisters, and when he saw me, he hurriedly hid his hands behind his back, and said that it didn't hurt.
Later, he learned to cook with Chai Bi, and he learned how to cook, the more the soup was cooked, the better it tasted, and he never burned the kitchen again.
Chubi was fed by him for nothing during that time, and he had to run dozens of laps around the peach blossom forest every day.
I'm not fat, and I'm very complaining.
I thought about the world for a while, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I was actually laughing, the swing was gently swinging, and I unconsciously hummed the tune, only to hear the crisp 'pop' sound on the tree, and a red begonia flower bloomed.
But it was only for a moment, and the next second it was condensed into ice blue.
"Princess Zhao!" Shattered Bi's voice rang out, and I sat up straight and patted my face.
Crushed Bi wrapped several mink cloaks around her body, and wrapped herself firmly into a ball. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her like this, and I looked at me aggrieved and helplessly, sniffed and said, "Ying Xingsi's people are looking for you." β
The cold of this cold pool pool sometimes can't even stand the third brother, let alone the broken blue. I got up and walked up to her with a smile, tightened my neckline for her, and turned to walk out.
"Didn't I say I hadn't seen anyone lately?"
The door behind him closed with a loud bang, and the barrier closed again. Crumble exhaled and took off her cloak, and after a few moments of her entering, the tip of her nose was red from the cold.
But the man must see it, saying that there is some evidence to show the princess. Crumble Bi said as she put away her cloak. "And you've been alone for so long, princess, I'm worriedβ" She didn't say anything, only patted the frost on her cloak.
I know that she is bent on me, and she has been alone for these days, and she has sent me this today and that tomorrow, which is the same as the third brother's method of coaxing me.
I smiled and brushed away the frost that had fallen on her head and whispered, "Let's go." β
Seeing that I agreed, Chai Bi looked at me with her lips slightly open and a happy face, nodded her head, and pulled me forward.
Ying Xingsi's people were waiting for me in the courtyard, he was wearing a purple gold python pattern black robe, his regular hair was tied with a hair crown, and a silver hairpin was tied to the black gauze belt on both sides.
The visitor saluted me and said, "This is what I found in the fairy who died in the palace of the five princesses a few days ago, and I asked the princess to look at it to see if she knew it." β
He took out a bead-sized piece of jade from his bosom and handed it to me, and the whole jade was carved into the shape of an unopened moon, with faint nicks on the receptacle.
Although the mark was no longer visible, I knew what was carved on it.
It's a 'Zhao' character.
This gadget was given to Lingyu by me before, and I gave her a lot of things like this, and the words on it were carved by her own hands, some of them were engraved, and some of them were not.
"If the fifth princess knows, please tell me the source of this jade. The owner of this jade should be the last person she came into contact with before she died. β
I twisted the jade in my hand and turned it around, and after giving it to him, I hesitated for a moment and said, "I gave this jade to Lingyu." β
"Where is the Lingyu now?"
I thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "In Lihattian, she should be where Liye is." β
The man seemed stunned and looked at me with an incredulous expression. It wasn't until Crumble coughed that he looked at me and bowed to me, then turned to leave.
When he turned around, he was still whispering to himself, repeating the sentence: "She is where Liye is, how can she be by Prince Liye's side?"
Not to mention that he was confused, even Broken Bi looked at me with an inexplicable expression. I didn't want to explain, so I shook my head and went to rest.
Shabi followed in reluctantly and said, "Could this be done by Lingyu?"
I sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed my eyebrows, maybe it had something to do with her, but I don't know if she could make it.
The current Lingyu seems to be different from the Lingyu I knew before, I used to think that we were friends, she knew me well enough, and I knew her well enough, but now I realized that what I used to know was a Lingyu with a mask, and she is now peeling off the mask from her face little by little.
I've felt this way since the last time I saw her and Twilight go toe.
I shook my head against the corner of my forehead.
"What if that Xian'e knows something related to you?" Shatter Bi continued to ask, and I sighed and said leisurely, "Whether she can do such a thing, we will know when Ying Xingsi finds out." It's just a pity that the girl practiced hard for a hundred years, and finally died of a secret. β
When she heard me say this, she didn't continue to ask and retreated.
I didn't go to Tingyu's reception banquet, and Liye didn't come to me, I ended up clean for a while.
I haven't had enough of these pure days, and I have sent a letter from heaven of hatred.
I thought it was Liye or Aunt Ling looking for me, and I was still thinking about what method to use, so I had to spend money to let the blue bird deliver the letter. I read the letter and realized that it wasn't Liye who was looking for me, but Hotaru.
She said she was about to be sent to the fairy realm and hoped to see me before leaving.
I didn't think that my friendship with her was so good, but people were thinking of me in the end, and there were very few people in the whole Heaven of Hatred who could miss me like this, and I had been idle for so long, and those sad things were almost faint in my heart, and I should also go to the Heaven of Hatred to see.
So I went to Lihattian.
I found her in a side house in the courtyard where the little fairies lived.
When Hotaru saw me, she pounced on me in surprise and grievance, she couldn't stop crying but didn't make a sound, she pointed to her throat and couldn't say anything.
She was dumb.
I looked at her in amazement, she was much thinner than before, her hands were so thin that I could see the protruding bones, and her face was much more yellow. She babbled and pointed at her throat, unable to say anything, only to cry.
I gave her the paper and ink, and she took the hand that took the pen and ink and wrote two words on the paper tremblingly.
Lingyu.
She stared at the words on the paper and touched her throat.
"You mean... Is your voice made of Lingyu?" I asked in disbelief.
Hotaru nodded heavily.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Hotaru crumpled the paper into a ball like a frightened bird and threw it into the brazier, and she busily pushed me to hide me behind a broken door.
I don't understand why she hid me, but seeing her panicked appearance, I also obediently hid in.
Xiao Hotaru stared at the door tightly, only to see Xiao Gong'e hurriedly push open the door and run in, she saw Xiao Hotaru reprimanding in a low voice: "Why are you still here, I don't dare to keep you anymore, you go quickly, I can't get rid of Lingyu after a while." β
Hotaru grabbed the edge of the table with one hand, and shook her head with an ugly babbling sound in her throat.
That Gong'e stepped forward to pull her, Xiao Hotaru shrank back hard, I was about to go out, but a sharp voice came from outside the hospital: "Search for me!"
Xiao Gong'e's face turned pale, she let go of her hand, and stammered: "You, you wait, don't say that I hid you later, too, the crown princess will not come to save you, I believe that I have already sent you out, it is none of my business if she doesn't come." Xiao Gong'e finished speaking without a head, and ran behind the broken door I was hiding, and when she turned around and saw me, her eyes widened, and I hurriedly covered her wide mouth and pulled her in.
The door was kicked open, and an imposing palace lady walked in.
Lingyu was supported by someone and walked in unhurriedly.
She is wearing a bun of ingots, hairpins with red flame stone hairpins, and a red dress with silver wires. She looked at Hotaru and smiled at the corners of her mouth, smiling kindly, but the words she spit out were cold.
"Aren't you loud in Red Merlin?
