The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Zhiyi then hurried to the boat to check. It was dawn and the sky had cleared up after the rain. There were only the chirping of birds and the sounds of insects. The boat was leaning against the shore, swaying with a rumbling sound.

"Great." She breathed a sigh of relief: "We can go now."

She urged, "Let's go and find a doctor to treat the injury. We can't delay any longer."

Huo Wuyou stretched his neck, which was so sore from lying down, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you see where we are? We are in the middle of nowhere. Where can we find a doctor?"

Indeed, there is not even any smoke from cooking fires here. I don’t know where it has drifted to all night. If I had known, I would have returned to the palace. Why would I be strolling around the streets for no reason?

But it's not a good idea to stay here all the time, she said: "We have to go first. If we stay here all the time, no doctor will come to our door."

"Got it." Huo Wuyou agreed lazily: "We just woke up, you have to let me calm down, right?"

Xue Zhiyi sighed and just sat down.

Huo Wuyou sat next to her: "Aren't you cold?"

At this moment, the two of them were in disarray and looked miserable. Having lost their outer clothes, they were only wearing thin inner garments. It was fine when they were leaning on each other, but now that they were separated, they felt cold all over.

Xue Zhiyi only replied: "Yes, there are some, but there is nothing we can do."

But Huo Wuyou suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't you have a solution last night?"

This sentence made Xue Zhiyi shudder. She looked at him with wide eyes: "What did you say?"

Huo Wuyou just leaned against the boat and said, "I fainted last night, but I'm not dead. I know everything you did to me."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt like his head was exploding and his face was burning.

"I...I was trying to save your life! Don't...don't repay kindness with enmity!"

She explained haltingly, but her face became increasingly red, and Huo Wuyou's smile became increasingly subtle.

"Actions speak louder than words. I understand everything. I will remember everything you have done to me. One day, I will repay you with a token of gratitude."

In the embarrassment, Xue Zhiyi was in a trance for a moment...The person in the dream also said this.

They must tie a grass knot and hold a ring to repay each other.

She blinked, trying to get the strange thought out of her mind.

They can't be the same person. At that time in the previous life, Huo Wuyou was already dead. Not only that, the Queen Mother, Huo Zhiyu, and Huo Wuhui were all dead.

In this life, the Queen Mother's fate has changed. Next, perhaps she will be able to protect Huo Wuyou.

In his previous life, Huo Wuyou died on the way of exile, and the crime for which he was exiled was attempting to kidnap Huo Zhiyu, who was marrying into the Northern Di clan.

She was thinking about this for no reason when someone knocked her head again: "What's the matter? Are you so guilty that you can't speak?"

He said heartlessly, "Don't worry, what happened between you and me will never be known by a third person. I will keep my mouth shut and won't tell anyone about the fact that we slept together last night."

This time Xue Zhiyi didn't bother to be polite with him. He stepped on his foot without hesitation: "What's going on between us? Nothing!"

Huo Wuyou, whose foot was stepped on, hissed, but was not angry: "You are really strong and courageous!"

After venting his anger, Xue Zhiyi became serious and said solemnly: "I am serious, do you know why the Beidi people attacked you yesterday without any reason?"

At this point, Huo Wuyou put away his playful thoughts and said, "Maybe, it's for revenge."

He pondered and said, "Back then, the Northern Di invaded Dayong and killed hundreds of ordinary people on the border. My father and brothers led the army to fight back. At that time, their Khan personally led the army, but was beheaded by my father and brothers as a warning to the public."

As he spoke, he sneered, "But the court said that the Northern Di Khan has many sons. If we want to completely eliminate the Northern Di threat, it would be too aggressive and not conducive to the people's rest and recuperation. So the court sent people to negotiate peace. Not only that, they also pretended to punish my father for his reckless behavior."

After hearing this, Xue Zhiyi roughly understood: "The imperial court acted as a peacemaker, which made General Huo, who was guarding the front line, feel unpopular. Although the Northern Di hated Dayong, they also hated the Huo family, who killed their Khan, more than they hated Dayong."

It was the same thing again, the same method as in the Lu Yan case, sending others out as a favor to appease another group of people.

Looking at her, Huo Wuyou did not refute, but only said: "The Beidi people hate the Huo family to the core, so when my father and brother were trapped in the encirclement, they did not even consider the matter of capturing hostages alive, and were determined to make them pay with their lives."

When saying this, Huo Wuyou's tone was still calm, but his hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned a little white.

Xue Zhiyi watched and felt that Huo Wuyou also resented the emperor. How could he not hate him when his loved ones' last chance of survival was ruined by the emperor's favoritism?

After thinking for a while, Xue Zhiyi said, "The envoys from Beidi will be coming soon."

"Yes." Huo Wuyou said: "Beidi has already set off and will arrive in Huajing in June this year."

Xue Zhiyi thought, according to the previous life, Beidi proposed the marriage at this time. Although Huo Zhiyu became the candidate because he did not have the protection of the queen mother in the previous life, who can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen a second time?

After all, Beidi hated the Huo family too much.

Some things should be prevented early.

"Did the Northern Di really come here to negotiate peace?" she asked. "After all, when the dry season comes, the Northern Di have to rely on looting the border towns of Dayong to survive. They won't negotiate peace easily, right?"

Huo Wuyou's brows were cold with worry: "I don't know, but I always feel that they won't obey our wishes so easily."

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Zhiyi and said, "They intend to make peace with Dayong."

really.

Xue Zhiyi thought to himself: Rebirth is bound to happen.

In her previous life, she was far away from the palace and did not know the specific details, nor did she know how Huo Zhiyu became the candidate for marriage.

After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively, "If it's a marriage alliance, the first choice should be a princess, right? They're seeking to marry...Princess Pingzhang?"

Huo Wuyou said, "Not necessarily. She could be a daughter of a royal family, or a noble lady selected from an official family to be canonized and married off."

"Are you worried about the princess?" Xue Zhiyi asked him.

Huo Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, it would be better if she was a few years younger."

But Xue Zhiyi said: "But I think this is not a matter of the princess being of the right age. If the princess is not suitable for marriage at this time, they will wait until the princess reaches marriageable age before proposing to marry her."

Huo Wuyou's brows suddenly frowned: "You mean, they are coming for A Yu?"

Xue Zhiyi said: "It's just a guess. Just like the Beidi assassins came for you, they may also come for the princess this time. Just like you said, they hate the Huo family."

Hearing this, Huo Wuyou's eyes became even darker: "Maybe... you are right."
