Chapter 438
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was confused just now." After the two were silent for a long time, Lan Qiao sighed softly, "Actually, I know that we were each our own masters at that time, and I can't blame you for being unscrupulous."
He walked to Hua Yuxi's side, sat down on the ground in a friendly manner and said, "If you really came to avenge An Xiaohan, I was poisoned by the Four Seasons Chasing Death a few days ago. You just had to stand by and watch. How could you do that?"
You risked your life to save me? And because of this, you showed flaws in the handwriting on the prescription."
As soon as he said these words, Hua Yuxi's grievances immediately found an outlet, and her tears burst out even more: "Sir, you scared me to death. I thought you were really angry with me."
She tilted her body and leaned against Lan Qiao: "But no matter what, the slave family has always hurt the master. If the master is angry, please punish the slave family, so that the slave family can feel better."
"It's been a year, what's the use of punishing you?" Lan Qiao felt the warmth on her body and said dejectedly, "I just can't accept it, I can't accept that you deliberately used Xiao Shu's identity to get close to me, and then you did it in my last moment.
Stab him in an unprepared place."
Hua Yuxi whispered: "I really didn't mean to deceive you, or in other words, the words I said were actually not lies."
Lan Qiao was startled and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
"What this means is that the young master has always been the person I admire the most. He is now, he was in the past, and he will be in the future." Hua Yuxi blushed, lowered her head and said: "When Yueyang left, I said to the young master
Regret actually means regretting not being able to keep the young master when we missed him, and ultimately embarking on the path of revenge."
"Are you telling the truth?" Lan Qiao said doubtfully, "But when I met you in Yaolu, you didn't even talk to me."
"She is a girl." Hua Yuxi was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. "When the sweetheart I had admired for so long suddenly appeared in front of me, I found it difficult to even stand up and breathe evenly, let alone talk to the young master. I both
I am afraid that if I say anything wrong and make the young master unhappy, and I am also afraid that the young master will think that I am too frivolous and not dignified enough, I am careful in everything and only dare to look at the young master from a distance."
"You are exaggerating." Lan Qiao tried hard to recall, "It seems we have never met beforehand, right? Why do you admire me so much? Is it really because of those scripts as Simiao said?"
Hua Yuxi's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she glanced at Lan Qiao with a hint of resentment and pleading, as if to say: "How can you let a girl take the initiative to admit such a thing? It's too embarrassing."
But she still nodded her head as if she was determined, and said quietly: "Before the incident happened at home, the capital city was already panicking because of Hu Weiyong's case. The family was like a frightened bird at that time, not knowing what fate was about to usher in. I almost stayed up all night
I have trouble sleeping at night, feeling scared but unable to change the situation at all.”
Lan Qiao sympathized: "It was indeed a very difficult time."
"Just when I was suffering like a year, by chance, my maid brought me a storybook, which told the story of a young knight-errant who was almost the same age as me, wandering around in the rivers and lakes for pleasure and revenge. I was stunned.
As soon as I saw it, I was immediately fascinated by it, thinking how great it would be if I could escape from the cage in front of me and have a free flight in the sky like him."
"The stories in the script are somewhat exaggerated." Lan Qiao said with a bitter smile, "Don't take it too seriously."
"Of course, if I only had that volume of stories, I would at best be envious and admired of the characters in the story, and there was no relationship between men and women. This is why in Xiang Yixuan's memory, when I first moved to
The first two years in Jiangpu seemed to show signs of warming up to him." Hua Yuxi continued, "But something happened later that completely linked my fate to the prototype of the young hero in the novel.
, and it was from that moment on that I recognized him in my heart and refused to accept Xiang Yixuan anymore."
"In my impression, the first time we met was at Mr. Xu's Medicine House." Lan Qiao scratched his head and asked, "Have you met me earlier?"
Hua Yuxi said calmly: "When I was fifteen years old, once Yuzi was playful and ran away after making trouble with me. I was afraid that it would be bullied by wild cats and dogs outside, so I didn't have time to tell my family, so I just
I ran out to chase it. Yuzi thought I was teasing it. The more I chased it, the faster it ran. I don’t know how long I chased it. When I finally caught up with it, it was near Zhuangjia Village in the north. It was already dark by then.
That night, I was scared and didn't know what to do, when I saw a group of bandits coming down the hillside."
Lan Qiao nodded and said: "I know the terrain of Zhuangjia Village. They even built a wall to prevent bandits from attacking."
"The bandits didn't pay attention to me at first, and they only tried their best to attack the village wall of Zhuangjia Village. But when they couldn't attack it for a long time, they became discouraged. They were holding an evil fire in their hearts. When they saw me holding a grapefruit on the roadside, they decided to attack me.
He took me back to the cottage."
"It's said that wealth never goes away. Since you can't grab the money, you can consider bringing a beautiful woman back. These guys are really hateful." Lan Qiao clenched his fists and said, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
"They locked me in a small room and said they would dedicate me to their boss at night." Hua Yuxi shook her head and said with lingering fear, "I was trembling at the time and wanted to commit suicide immediately to preserve my virginity.
But I didn't dare to actually take action. Then I thought of the young hero in the story book, and thought that if he really existed, he would come and save me quickly."
"Did your prayers come true?"
"Perhaps this is fate. When I recited it silently in my heart over and over again, a panicked shout suddenly came from the village, followed by a burst of fire. It seemed that someone broke into the village and set fire to it. At that time, there was a fire in the village.
It was chaos, with bandits armed with swords everywhere."
"Then you saw him?"
"I saw him. I took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the hut. I first climbed onto a roof to hide. I saw him charging into the crowd from a distance."
Lan Qiao said unexpectedly: "You want to say that that person is me?"
"Let me ask you, in April of the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, were you active in the Jianghuai area?" Hua Yuxi said solemnly, "Did you go to a mountain village before visiting Mr. Xu's Yaolu?"
"Yes, I remember this clearly. I originally wanted to challenge Chu Tianqi's cottage, but was outnumbered and was injured by his poisonous palm, and then I moved into Uncle Xu's Yaolu." Lan Qiao said affirmatively.
"Then you can't go wrong." Hua Yuxi said excitedly, "At that time, the bandits' attention was all on the young master, so I took the opportunity to sneak out of the stronghold without being discovered. I ran as fast as I could after leaving the stronghold, and ran all the way back to Jiangpu.
I was too embarrassed to tell my parents, so I only told Mr. Xu about it."
"No wonder I was in Uncle Xu's Yaolu after I woke up." Lan Qiao suddenly said, "It turns out that it was you who reported the letter, so Uncle Xu could rescue me in time."
"So at that time I thought, since everything is an arrangement of fate, then I will recognize him." Hua Yuxi stared at Lanqiao and said affectionately: "The slave family has said such embarrassing things, the young master will always
Is it time to believe it?”
Lan Qiao let out a long sigh and said slowly: "So you didn't accidentally drop that sachet, but you deliberately left it for me."
"I originally wanted to give it to the young master in person to express my feelings, but I was too timid and shy, so I had no choice but to make this decision." Hua Yuxi also sighed, "Later, I saw that the young master did not send the sachet back, so I thought he understood.
I accepted it and felt complacent for a while. However, on the day the young master left, I asked him if he had anything else to say, but he never mentioned it again."
Lan Qiao said apologetically: "It seems that I have failed you in this matter. In fact, I didn't think too much about it at the time. Firstly, I felt that it would be inevitable to make enemies with others in the future, and I was afraid that you would be implicated. Secondly, I thought that my status was very different.
, I feel unworthy of you."
"Where is that?" Hua Yuxi covered Lan Qiao's mouth and said, "Young master is not allowed to say such things. We have experienced so many things together. If we want to give life-saving grace to each other, I will wait for three lifetimes.
If you are a young master, what else is worthy of you?"
Seeing that Lan Qiao still didn't believe her, she hurriedly explained: "As for the attack on the young master later, on the one hand, my feelings were diluted by revenge, and on the other hand, I was annoyed that the young master seemed to have really forgotten the slave family. Now.
I have been kicked out of the Erqi Society, and there is no longer any plan for revenge. I only hope to follow the young master. Even if King Yan conquers the world in the future, it will indirectly destroy the late emperor's plan to pass the throne to the grandson."
Lan Qiao stared at her for a long time and sighed: "I'm glad you are willing to tell me these things honestly, but it's too late. Now that Ling'er and I are married, I love her very much, and you deserve better."
After saying that, he stood up, suppressed the helplessness, self-blame, regret and reluctance in his heart, hardened his heart, and pushed out the door.
