When Ye Hao was asked this question by Yu Xun, his eyes suddenly became sensitive: "That's right... I am the assassin!"
Ye Hao originally thought that after hearing this, Yu Xun would be frightened or rush out the door to report to the officials to arrest her.
But when Yu Xun heard Ye Hao's words, he looked calm. He looked at Ye Hao and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems it's really Brother Ye!"
Ye Hao looked at him like this with confusion and suspicion on his face: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Yu Xun smiled, blinked, and said to Ye Hao: "Afraid? In fact, when I first saw you covered in blood, Xun was really afraid. But Xun understands Brother Ye, so he is not afraid anymore..."
Ye Hao looked at him hesitantly, as if his identity was unexpected: "You...you, do you understand me!?"
Yu Xun nodded with a smile and said: "Others Xun dare not say, but if you know about Brother Ye, you can pat your chest and nod!"
When Ye Hao heard this, his cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly rosy.
She pulled the quilt to cover her face, and her voice became much softer: "You! You! Nonsense... How could you possibly do this? I know me..."
Yu Xun looked at Ye Hao and always felt that there was something strange about her.
Could it be that the injury led to illness, and then the illness caused brain problems?
He walked over and tried to pull down the quilt that Ye Hao had pulled to cover her face so that she could breathe.
But when he pulled it down, Ye Hao was holding on to the quilt with both hands.
Yu Xun said: "Brother Ye, I'm afraid it's not good for the wound if you cover it like this. Take off the quilt!"
When Ye Hao heard these words, he felt like a cat that had been stepped on.
She tensed up and looked at Yu Xun nervously.
She stuttered: "No...no...I, I will cover it!"
Yu Xun spoke earnestly and said: "Although Xun doesn't know any medical skills, he was fortunate enough to read a miscellaneous medical journal! It was recorded in it: Trauma requires exposure to care."
Ye Hao pulled the quilt tightly. If his quilt was lifted, his daughter's identity might be exposed!
"You...you...let me go!" She growled angrily.
Yu Xun was puzzled, but after being yelled at, he let go.
But this letting go caused Yu Xun's hand to slide across Ye Hao's chest.
At that moment, Yu Xun felt as if he had been electrocuted and quickly retracted his hand.
He blinked and seemed to feel something soft just now...
Ye Hao's face turned red at this moment, and she wished she could hold Yu Xun down and beat him up right now.
The two fell silent again.
Yu Xun was stunned for a long time before he pointed at Ye Hao's chest in fear and said: "Ye, brother Ye, your chest is also injured? Did you bandage it with cloth!?"
This was entirely Yu Xun's own conjecture. After all, Ye Hao's chest was a little bulging and a little soft.
He did not think that Ye Hao was a woman, but guessed other reasons.
Hearing his speculation, Ye Hao didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
What is a chest injury!?
What do you mean it’s bandaged with cloth!??
Did someone say this to Yu Xun!?
Fortunately, Ye Hao did not reveal her identity as a woman, but she still felt a little disappointed...
Ye Haopi said with a smile: "Indeed, my chest is injured!!!"
Ye Hao's voice focused on the word "chest hurt".
Yu Xun said that he had understood. He nodded and stared at Ye Hao's chest to see what he was thinking.
Ye Hao can't stand this look!
After all, no woman can tolerate others staring at her chest, even if she is a man in Yu Xun's eyes.
She coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Yes, by the way, why didn't you see Lin Xi?"
Seeing Ye Hao mention this matter, Yu Xun's eyes suddenly dimmed. He took out the bloody cloth and said, "She...she left without saying goodbye!"
"What!?"
Ye Hao thought he heard wrongly.
Yu Xun let out a long sigh and continued: "Last night I made a mistake while drinking, and accidentally got into a relationship with Miss Lin Xi..."
As he spoke, he shook his head dejectedly and continued: "When I woke up in the morning, Miss Lin Xi was gone..."
Ye Hao was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Lin Xi to leave directly. She was very happy, but also a little heartbroken for Lin Xi.
She was originally a girl from a wealthy family, but her family failed and she became what she is now.
Ye Hao couldn't help but ask: "Then what are you going to do!?"
Yu Xun clenched the blood cloth in his hand, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm: "I will not give up!"
Ye Hao's eyes darkened unconsciously when he heard these words.
…………
Five years later.
At this time, Yu Xun was already a sixth-rank official. He had a small courtyard at home. Although he was not rich, he was able to eat well.
Today is the time to pay salary again. Yu Xun returned home wearing official uniform and carrying more than thirty taels of silver.
Yu Xun's small courtyard was uniformly issued by the imperial court. People with stronger official positions and backstage connections were assigned more luxurious courtyards, and the closer they were to bustling roads.
Yu Xunben was a minor official, and he had never even entered the Zichen Palace. The court meetings were only outside the palace, and he had never entered the palace to pay homage to the Holy Emperor.
So his residence is in a very remote part of the capital.
After walking for nearly an hour, Yu Xun finally arrived in front of his house.
The courtyard in front of him looked like an ordinary courtyard. Yu Xun opened the courtyard door and walked in.
He looked around and shook his head with a smile: "I didn't know Brother Ye was there again..."
Ye Hao has been coming to his place basically every day these years. If he hadn't left at night, others might have thought he lived in Xun's place.
He was about to turn around and close the door, when he stretched out the folding fan to block the door he was about to close.
Yu Xun looked at the folding fan and shook his head with a smile: "Brother Ye is here?"
I saw a handsome young man standing at the door. He looked at Yu Xun with a smile: "Don't you think you are back?"
Yu Xun let her in.
After Ye Hao entered, he unceremoniously found a place to sit down.
Yu Xun went into the room, changed out of his official uniform, put on ordinary civilian clothes and walked out.
Ye Hao looked at Yu Xun who had come out of changing clothes and gave him a complicated look, as if something was wrong.
Yu Xun noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Hao took a deep breath as if he had made great determination: "Master... Master... we have news about her..."
Yu Xun was puzzled: "Her? Who is she?"
Ye Hao pursed his lips and looked at the stunned Yu Xun with unusually colored eyes.
Yu Xun was also stunned for a while, a clear look flashed in his eyes, as if he understood something.
But he was a little at a loss for a moment. He touched his own clothes and wanted to turn around and go into the house, but he didn't know what to do.
He wanted to turn around and go out to find 'her', but he took a few steps and had no idea how to find 'her' after he went out...
Over the years, Yu Xun has never given up looking for 'her' but to no avail.
He didn't know when he started to bury 'her' in his heart. He would only take out the 'her' hidden in his heart in the dead of night, or when he looked at his lonely figure.
Looking at Yu Xun who was at a loss for a while, Ye Hao's eyes became more complicated.
She has been with Yu Xun all these years, and she has become completely inseparable from him. Every time she sees him alone, she wants to reveal that she is a woman, but she still does not say it out loud.
Because she is afraid!
She was afraid of losing Yu Xun, and the more she was afraid, the less she dared to think about revealing to Xun that she was a woman.
Just when Ye Hao was distracted, Yu Xun suddenly came over and grabbed her shoulders tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Ye, Brother Ye! You, you didn't make fun of Xun! Xun... Xun Ke found Lin Xi
The girl is five years old!"
When he talked about five years, Yu Xun's trembling voice contained vicissitudes of life and loneliness.
Ye Hao looked at Yu Xun whose eyes had turned slightly red, but he still did not dare to face his burning gaze.
She put aside her head and said, "Young master, can I still lie to you!?"
Ye Hao cried, and he couldn't control it at that moment.
He hugged Ye Hao and cried like a child.
Looking at the crying Yu Xun, Ye Hao felt that her heart hurt as if being scratched by a knife, and the pain made her body tremble slightly.
She looked at Ye Hao, who was holding her and crying awkwardly, with pain in his eyes and gentleness on the surface: "Yes! I have been looking for five years..."
In the past five years, she had actually known where Lin Xi was, but she had not told Yu Xun.
Because of selfishness, unwillingness! Even because of jealousy...
And she told Yu Xun today that it was because Lin Xi was dying!
After Xun vented for a long time, he finally recovered.
While wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he apologized: "Sorry! Brother Ye, Xun lost his temper!"
Ye Hao pretended to be angry and said: "How can you, a grown man, hold my young master in your arms and cry like you are so unbecoming!!?"
Yu Xun's cheeks suddenly turned red. He wiped away his tears and said, "But Brother Ye, your body is still so soft, and so are your chest muscles!"
Ye Hao's face changed when he heard these words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It seems that I indulge you too much!"
Ye Hao squeezed out these words through his teeth, making her angry and annoyed.
Yu Xun doesn't look stupid! Why can't he find out that he is a girl all these years? If he found out, she would be able to confess!!
She couldn't bear to hit Yu Xun, so she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet.
Seeing Ye Hao's angry look, Yu Xun coughed and quickly changed his words: "Brother Ye, it was Xun Tang who just made a sudden move. Brother Ye's muscles are very strong!"
!!???
Ye Hao, who was still stamping his feet in anger, heard these words, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by thunder, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
She stared at Yu Xun like a dead person, her eyes seeming to say: Is this what a human said!!?
Looking at Ye Hao's wrong look, Yu Xun didn't know why his spine felt chilly. He didn't think much about it. At this moment, he wanted to see the woman he had been looking for for five years even more!
"Brother Ye, please take me to see Miss Lin Xi!"
Ye Hao glared at him fiercely, thinking about what he had just said that made him angry, and for a moment he didn't want to take him to see Lin Xi.
But thinking that Lin Xi was about to die, she sighed.
Let’s settle this account with him later!
"Okay, whoever makes me feel good, let's go!"
Yu Xun was about to follow, but suddenly he seemed to think of something. He quickly went into the house and took out a box. There was also a bunch of tightly packed things stuffed in his arms. He didn't know what they were.
Looking at Yu Xun holding a box, the corners of Ye Hao's mouth twitched: "Are you planning to move!?"
