Chapter 13: Painful Choices
When Xuan Che woke up, she was a little confused, this underworld is always gray and misty, which makes her feel a sense of confusion. When she was asleep, she heard the rustling sound of flipping books, and when she woke up, she saw Xiu Yuan reading a book less than five feet in front of her bed. She remembered that when she entered this room, she saw a soft couch somewhere, and now she was replaced by Xiu Yuan with a low table at some point, and he was sitting upright at the table at this time, with his back to him, looking at a little classic. Xuan Che looked at it like this, and he could probably see that he was looking at some case texts and records of past dynasties. Xuan Che looked at him from behind, and sure enough, it was good to come out and experience it, but now he has long lost his former childishness, and when he looks from behind, he looks decent. I just don't know if he has seen his parents in these days of coming.
Xuan Che looked at his back, and was about to ask a question, but he asked lightly without looking back, "Why didn't Master say anything when he woke up, do you still have to pretend to be asleep?"
Xuan Che sighed secretly in his heart: This disciple is really becoming more and more shrewd, but there is a little bit of her shadow. Still, she couldn't help but ask, "How do you know I'm awake?"
Xiu Yuan's hand turning the book paused, but he still didn't reply, "Master's breathing is very light when he sleeps, and it is slightly heavier when he is awake. ”
"Yes, very carefully. Hyun Che sighed
She heard Xiu Yuan's shallow laughter, "After sleeping with Master for so many years, you must know this, but I'm afraid you yourself may not know these changes." ”
Xuan Che also smiled faintly, "I fell asleep myself, how could I know my own business." After a pause, he asked, "How long did I sleep?"
Xiu Yuan replied while flipping through the book, "It's not too long, it's the afternoon of the next day."
Xuan Che nodded, feeling a little measured in his heart. It seems that his body is not too bad, and he used this method of time to exorcise the ghost poison for him, and he only slept for one day.
She looked at her back again, and she wanted to ask him if he had seen his parents, but she didn't know how to speak. For a moment, both of them were a little silent. The only sound in the room could be heard of him slowly flipping through the book, and the sound of his occasional pen and approval.
After a long time, Xiu Yuan got up, picked up a stack of official documents at hand, and walked to the door, after opening the door, he stood at the door, whispered a few words to the attendant at the door, and then turned around and entered the house, and when he came in, the official document in his hand was empty.
Xiu Yuan saw her lying on the bed, her soul had become bright again, and a pair of dark pupils were looking at him steadily, so he asked softly, "Does Master want to ask about the whereabouts of Uncle Jiutian and Uncle Half Moon?" He thought she was worried about the safety of Jiutian and Half Moon, and wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak, but she didn't know, what she wanted to ask but didn't know how to open her mouth was another thing.
Seeing that he broke his silence, Xuan Che no longer concealed it, and asked directly to the point, "Have you met your biological parents?"
When Xiu Yuan heard her question, he didn't answer directly, but just turned around, sat down at the table, and continued to read books and handle official business. Hyun Cheol knew that what she feared most had happened. Mingyang and Yang Hui knew that he had come to the underworld and would definitely come to meet him. Although he left his parents since he was a child, after all, blood is thicker than water. He was taken away by her on the second day of his birth, and his biological mother, Concubine Yao, Yang Hui, must have thought that he was about to go crazy, this time, even if he did not have a deep relationship with his parents, but when he saw his mother crying and crying, thinking of himself, and suddenly like crazy, it was impossible not to be moved. Although she and he are masters and apprentices, she is an outsider.
Xiu Yuan didn't answer directly, just sat quietly, turned his back to her, and didn't speak. Xuan Che didn't speak, quietly waiting for his answer, or his choice.
After a long time, Xuan Che felt that he was about to fall asleep, but he heard Xiu Yuan's low voice, "Master has never told me, it turns out that my father and mother are the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens and his favorite concubine." About two days after I arrived in the underworld, I heard the Bodhisattva King of Jizo come to me and say to me that the Emperor of Heaven and Concubine Yao Yang Hui wanted to see me. I had already guessed their identities at that time, but I didn't dare to confirm it, I always thought that I was just the son of an ordinary immortal family, but I didn't expect that my father was the Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Heavens. He paused for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was holding back something, and after a while, he said to her lightly, "Master, don't worry, since I promised you not to leave you, I won't go back on my word because of the change in my identity." ”
Xuan Che heard what he said, and he was a little happy and a little melancholy. She knew that she was very selfish, but she finally chose him, and it was not cost-effective to let him go back to Heaven to be the prince. But now that he has said this, his worries are obviously superfluous. Xuan Che didn't want to interfere with his office anymore, and fell asleep again.
Xiu Yuan could hear her breathing behind her getting lighter, and knew that she had fallen asleep. The hand holding the pen gradually tightened. God knows how difficult it was for him to make this decision, and before he saw his father and mother that day, he thought to himself that he must not go back with them and leave Master alone. But after meeting his mother, he became hesitant. The woman who was high up in the sky sat there like this, and when she saw him coming, she was not moved in the slightest, and she didn't even look at him more. But he forgot that he was a Tianjizi, a Tianjizi who could see through a qiē, although she didn't cast a gentle look at herself, nor did she say a word to herself, but he still saw through the strong desire in her heart. She doesn't understand sound on the surface, but her heart is crying and dripping blood. She and her husband, the man who was also high, spent the night in the residence of King Jizo. He sneaked into her place at night, turned into a garling bird, stood in front of her window, watched her, watched her in pain, and she screamed in pain and screamed in pain. He felt that he was about to cry, he listened to the maid beside her with red eyes and asked her why she didn't bring him back to Heaven, her desperate eyes, she looked at the maid named Rong Hua, and said word by word, do you think he will agree? I would rather die sadly, I don't want to beg him anymore. I begged him long enough, and the tears were almost dry, but he still took my son away quietly, heh, for that woman, is it worth it? I'd rather not have his boon than beg him for mercy again. He stood outside the window and clearly saw the hatred in this woman's eyes, so deep, so heavy. The love is deep, and the responsibility is keen.
He heard his mother say to the maid that the woman had educated him well, gentle and elegant, and calm, and as a mother, what luxury could she ask for when she saw that her son was doing well. When she said this, there was a tenderness in his eyes that he couldn't bear to look at, and it was like the indifference he had just now. This is his mother, the mother who wants him to the bone, he wants to hug her, he wants to give her filial piety. But he knew that he couldn't, no matter how bitter her mother was, she also had her father as the Emperor of Heaven by her side, and his master, if she left him, she would have nothing. One gave birth to him, the other raised him, and he finally chose the woman who raised him, and he couldn't bear her to suffer.
