After leaving the restaurant called Qilixiang, I walked along the street again. Thinking about what the shopkeeper said just now, his expression seemed to be true, but the name of the restaurant and some of the layout methods inside were indeed novel. The name
It's also fresh. But it feels very familiar to me.
"Ling'er, your master said he took me out to eat before. Is it that Qilixiang restaurant?"
"Well, I guess so." She lowered her head slightly and replied.
"Don't you know?" Isn't she my personal maid?
"When I took my mother out for dinner, Ling'er wouldn't go out with me."
"That's it! Then you're not in a bad situation. I didn't bring you anything delicious. I'll make up for it today. How about we eat for the whole of Lin'an? Tell me. What do you want to eat now, Ling'er? I'll treat you!"
This time I am full of confidence. Based on the lesson learned last time, I have brought enough money.
"You can eat whatever the young master says."
"Well, actually I don't know much about it. Let's just walk along the street and eat whatever we see."
So, we bought interesting things along the way, and ate delicious things when we saw them. My bargaining skills shocked Ling'er, and when she started talking about it, she always said that I didn't need to do that.
I worked hard to beat those prices. I just said why not save more if you can save. And after successfully bargaining and buying something, I feel so comfortable. So I lamented why I don't go into business, I still enjoy being so prudent.
Among them, when doing business, you can't make a profit or lose. It's just pitiful that Ling'er has to carry big and small bags. I wanted to mention it, but she refused to do it, saying that she would make me make any mistakes again or be tired.
, it would be even harder to explain when I go back. Just like this, I can only stop buying anything in silence.
However, sometimes the more careful people are about something, the more likely it will happen.
Just as I was chewing the candied haws in my hand with great care, a frightened horse appeared out of nowhere and ran rampant. It was about to hit a little boy of two or three years old. On impulse, I bypassed the guard.
I grabbed my Ling'er, hugged the child, and jumped aside to avoid the collision of the horse. But I was only focused on getting out of the way quickly, instead of steadying my body, I fell backwards, and my head hit the pillar with a bang.
.The collision made me dizzy. Venus appeared in all directions and flew in all directions.
Ling'er ran over and helped me straighten up, probably to check where I was injured. It seemed like another aunt ran over and hugged the frightened and crying child, "Xiaosan, why did you run out so well? I didn't tell you to be well."
Are you staying in the shop?" The other person seemed to be reminding me something. Then there was a burst of gratitude and words. But I just stared blankly, as if my head suddenly stopped. Then Ling'er screamed, and I
I was confused and told her that just find a place for me to sit.
I entered a shop in a daze. Before I drank two sips of tea, I heard an old voice shouting excitedly: "Xiao Si, it's really you. Yes, my daughter, you read that right, it's Xiao Si."
Four, it’s Xiaosi...it’s Xiaosi.”
"What kind of mistress?" he kept shouting. I really didn't understand.
"Xiao Si, you don't recognize me. I am Butler Liu."
"Ah??Who is Xiaosi?"
"Xiaosi, no, no, it's Miss Fourth. You are Prime Minister Xiao's fourth daughter, Xiao Shi! You also said that you recognize me as your godfather."
"You said my surname is Xiao..." It's strange, this is not the second person saying this today.
"Xiaosi, it's been almost two years. After we learned about the Xiao family's misfortune, we all wanted to find you to see if there was anything we could do to help you. Poor Fourth Miss, she even forgot her last name! Oh~~
~" He murmured, as if he was talking to himself, and also to everyone. But no matter who he told it to, why do I feel so unfilial! What do you mean by forgetting your own last name? But I do
I forgot, dizzy!!
"Grandpa, are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?" Maybe I really have a past that I don't know about.
"Fourth Miss, if you hadn't helped Old Man Liu with my idea to start this egg processing business and then passed it on to our Liu family, our family would have starved to death long ago. There is such a big industry from there, even though you have grown up.
You’re old, but you won’t admit your mistake no matter what.”
"You said my name is Xiao Si?" Xiao Si? Xiao Si! Xiao Si? Xiao Si!
"After we found out that something happened to the Xiao family that day, we always wanted to kill you, but in the end we only saw that girl Qingcao. Not the madam nor the young lady, not even the second young master. We thought you all..."
"Dad, look at you, you should be happy to see the Fourth Miss again." said an aunt next to me.
"Yes, yes. Look at me, I'm really stupid. I should be happy, I should be happy." The old man wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded.
"Sir, use this ice cube to apply it first. Your head will not hurt so much." Ling'er took a bag of ice from somewhere and gently applied it to the back of my head.
"It's much better. I'll do it myself. You go get some cold water. I want to wash my face." My head doesn't hurt anymore, but I feel dizzy. I just want to wash it with cold water. I handed over the ice pack, Ling'er.
Went to fetch water.
"Xiaosi, where are your mother and that girl Qingcao? And where is the second young master? How are they?"
"Uncle Liu, I got sick later and don't remember much about it. Can you tell me about it?"
"It's pitiful. It turned out that life was not easy in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the past two years, I guess you must have suffered too, Xiaosi. In the past, you and your mother..."
What he said was like a surging river, endless. The more I listened, the more dizzy I became, and the more I listened, the heavier my head became. Finally, Ling'er fetched water, washed his face, said he would visit another day, and then went back feeling dizzy.
On the way back to Chenyuan, I was still in a daze when I met a woman in coarse clothes and linen standing not far away. The woman looked strange, as if she had suffered a lot in the past. As soon as she saw me, she rushed forward.
Come, grab my arm and shake it, look at me with frightened and malicious eyes, and yell something I can't understand. "It's you, why do you come back? How dare you come back, you harmful person"
.You don’t deserve a good death. You are just a bitch..."
My poor head, I really don’t remember how I offended her before. She is so strong. When Ling’er and the other palace maids who came over pulled her away, I was also pushed to the ground and hit me again.
That poor head hurt! It was such a bad year. Suddenly the woman's curses and the voices of the palace maids and eunuchs suddenly stopped.
"Si'er, how are you?" Someone from behind helped me up. A majestic but cold and terrifying voice sounded above my head, "What's going on?"
"Back to the emperor, this slave in clothes seemed to be stimulated by something. He suddenly ran out and pushed the empress down. He also insulted the empress." Ling'er replied.
"Pull him out and kill me with a stick!" Hearing these words made me break into a cold sweat.
"Don't be casual..." My head hurts when I think about talking. This man is really scary, he will kill people at every turn. He'll be killed with a stick! How scary. But he can speak so easily.
"Si'er, don't talk for now. Call the imperial doctor." After saying that, he hugged me and left. My head became more and more dizzy, and finally I just ignored everything and fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up when the sky was slightly light. In the darkness, everything seemed so strange. The smell of a man's breath made me even more surprised. I actually fell asleep in the crook of his shoulder. When I looked up, it was Emperor Xuan Tian!!
Maybe my actions disturbed him, and he groaned. I quickly returned to my original position, closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. I felt the cool fingertips across my cheek, and I trembled in my heart, so I pretended to find someone.
In a comfortable position, I turned my head and turned away. I tried not to lean on him so much, but I didn't want to be pinched back. I felt him hugging my waist, his fingers rubbing on my face, and his warm breath blowing out.
On his face, there was indescribable discomfort, and slightly cold lips covered it.
Just when I was about to push him away, a helper's voice sounded from outside, "Your Majesty, the morning court time is almost here."
For the first time, I felt that my father-in-law’s voice was so pleasant to my ears.
He groaned, calmed his breathing, stood up gently, and seemed to tuck me in the quilt again. He placed a kiss on my forehead and heard the slight sound of footsteps and the sound of the door closing as he left.
I opened my eyes suddenly and realized that my palms were already wet. Suddenly I remembered something, and I opened the quilt and took a look. It was okay, okay, and my clothes were well worn. People outside seemed to hear some movements inside, and asked softly.
: "Mother, are you awake?"
"I didn't know what Aunt Ling'er said. I only heard a little movement inside."
"If your Majesty wakes up, you have to be smarter. Your Majesty specially sent more than twice the number of people here. If there is any mistake, the consequences will not be something we can bear."
"My slave, please listen to your aunt's teachings."
Although their voices are very soft, you can still hear them in this early morning. It's so annoying. Why is it always like this? Are you born to be a disaster?
I don’t know how long I stayed in bed. I felt hungry and got up to wash up and eat. After dinner, I went to the Baihualin. I walked to the pavilion on the top of the slope and looked down at the layers of colorful flowers.
Recalling the flower-viewing banquet that year, the flowers were still the same, but the faces were completely different. Yes, I remembered them all. Maybe I really shouldn’t remember them. If I didn’t remember them, I wouldn’t be as painful as I am now. But
I should also be glad that I can remember, otherwise I would have to live like this with the same enemy.
What should I do now? Although it is always said outside that the Xiao family was murdered by King Lian, there is no guarantee that he was not involved in it no matter how deep a hatred he had with my family. My mother and my second brother, whether they were killed by him himself or not, are all related to him.
He had nothing to do with it. He also single-handedly planned everything on the cliff. He ruined everything for me. Although I also remember that he took great care of me during my amnesia. It can also be said that he was overprotective. But so what.
, can you restore the living lives that have disappeared, can you restore Zhe's feelings for me?
Everyone should be responsible for what they do, even if he is the emperor. Even if he is really Lin Tian, I have begun to have involuntary hatred. This kind of hatred is different from the previous complicated hatred.
**hate. I never thought that I would have such a vicious side. But now a vicious thought is slowly taking shape in my mind.
