The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Huo Wuyou was still pretending to smile calmly, until his eyes became redder and redder, and the corners of his mouth became as stiff as a cold light.

"Zhiyi..." He called softly, as if he was trying hard to endure the pain in his heart.

He frowned slightly, and the calmness he had been suppressing was instantly shattered. His moist eyes were filled with hatred, and his voice seemed to contain blood.

"Zhi Yi... In the past, I only wanted to find out the real murderer and then take revenge. But since I knew who the real murderer was, I found that I wanted to kill those who harmed my father and brother with my own hands so badly, even if it meant cutting out their hearts and livers or lingchi (a form of torture)!"

His lips trembled slightly, and there was some mist on his eyelashes: "You know what? I really want to take Helian You's life today! But I can't let Helian You really die in Dayong for personal revenge, and I can't give Beidi a reason to provoke a war here!"

After he said this, he leaned against the rock wall, his hollow eyes drooping, and adjusted his rising and falling breathing.

"Are you scared?" he asked her in a hoarse voice.

But Xue Zhiyi was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt for the first time that Huo Wuyou's sharp claws and her vicious fangs complemented each other perfectly.

She smiled in response: "What's so scary? Right and wrong should be dealt with accordingly, otherwise the heavens would be blind. But above the heavens, there are 70,000 heroic souls waiting for the Marquis of Lin'an to argue for them - the Marquis will surely get his revenge."

Xue Zhiyi seemed to feel the joy of smelling something of his own kind.

They all harbored so much hatred, and were so impatient that they wanted to bite the people who had wronged them without restraint.

That’s great, she likes Huo Wuyou like this very much.

She raised her hand, wiped away the tears from Huo Wuyou's eyes, and said softly: "I will accompany you."

She liked Huo Wuyou, but she always felt that such a bright and unrestrained person was far away from her, who hid in the darkness.

It was the first time she felt they were so close.

Huo Wuyou had not yet realized what she was thinking, he just felt that the warm fingertips made his heart soften for a moment.

He hugged Xue Zhiyi, and their overlapping heartbeats gave him a temporary comfort as he felt helpless.

"Thank you, Zhiyi," he said.

Xue Zhiyi only heard: "You will definitely get what you want."

No matter what, Xue Zhiyi knew that the Zhao family of Yongping Marquis would surely die.

Because in the previous life, not long after Huo Wuyou's death, the Zhao family received their retribution.

On that snowy night, she treated the injuries of a strange man in a dilapidated temple.

At dawn the next day, they learned that a major incident had occurred in the city last night - someone massacred the Yongping Marquis' Mansion, and more than 200 people in the Zhao Mansion were killed, even Xue Panrou was not spared.

She didn't know whether the person the Imperial City Bureau was chasing that night was the murderer, nor did she know whether the family was massacred by that person.

But if that person really participated in the Qionglin Banquet, it means that this person is still in the court in this life, and it is possible that he will massacre the Zhao family again.

I just don't know if the disaster of exterminating the family will happen again, as many things in this life have gone off track.

It would be great if I could find that person.

But there was one thing she didn't understand. If Zhao Xu was the person who colluded with the enemy, then why did he frame Shen Chiyan in his previous life?

Logically speaking, they were all Gu Shichong's people in their previous lives.

Was it Zhao Xu's act of saving his life, or an internal struggle within Prince Gong's party?

Suddenly, Huo Wuyou loosened his arms around her and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Huo Wuyou had regained his composure. Looking at her thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but ask a question.

Xue Zhiyi was dazed and said, "I was thinking about Gu Shichong."

"What?" Huo Wuyou was stunned: "What do you want him to do for no reason?"

Seeing his unhappy face, Xue Zhiyi knew that he had just calmed down a little when his bad behavior came out again.

She said, "I was thinking that Gu Shichong was too calm today."

Hearing this, he frowned: "Are you saying that he is too indifferent to the Ge family's affairs today?"

After Helian Youyu was discovered, he also went to Liuhuaxie. Recalling the scene at Liuhuaxie, he said, "Gu Shichong did try to defend Ge Jingyang, and he seemed very anxious, but I always felt that something was wrong."

At this point, he suddenly smiled lightly: "But having said that, with such a bad thing happening, Gu Shichong has no chance to ask your uncle for you."

Feeling proud again.

"In any case, we still have to keep a close eye on them. The Ge family will definitely take action to save Ge Jingyang."

Huo Wuyou nodded: "Of course."

Glancing at the hazy sky outside the rockery, Xue Zhiyi urged him, "It's getting late, Marquis Lin'an, please leave the palace as soon as possible."

Huo Wuyou also looked in the direction she was looking. They had indeed wasted a lot of time, and it was time to leave in order to avoid any trouble.

But thinking of Xue Zhiyi's rare gentleness today, he felt a little reluctant, so he became bolder and moved closer to Xue Zhiyi.

"Does Marquis Lin'an have anything else to say?" Xue Zhiyi asked him.

But Huo Wuyou repeated the action he had taken in the library today and pointed to his face: "Kiss me."

He knew that Xue Zhiyi had been nervous all day, and now he just wanted to tease her before leaving and hear her calling his name in frustration.

But suddenly, he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt a warm breath brushing against his cheek, and something soft touched his face like a dragonfly touching water and then separated...

His pupils trembled, and he covered his face and quickly turned to look at Xue Zhiyi, only to see that Xue Zhiyi just avoided his sight and lightly covered his lips.

As if realizing it belatedly, he chuckled, and his features suddenly became bright and clear.

But Xue Zhiyi quickly said "I'm leaving" and was about to turn around and leave.

He tried to reach out and pull her back, but maybe it was because of the kiss that made his mind a little intoxicated, and his movements became a lot more clumsy. Before he could grab her, he watched her trot out of the rockery.

In his annoyance, he was so overwhelmed with joy that he turned around a few times in the rockery and almost shouted out loud.

……

Here, Xue Zhiyi raised his hand and gently fanned the heat off his cheeks.

She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of closeness to him as if possessed by a magic spell.

Fortunately, there was this palace gate separating them, so they seldom met each other. Otherwise, Huo Wuyou would have been so proud of himself in front of her for who knows how long because of this kiss.

At this moment, most of the guests had left the palace, leaving only some people from the Dali Temple. Because they were investigating the assassination, they left a little late and were being led out of the palace by palace maids and eunuchs.

On the way back to Jianzhang Palace, she suddenly saw two people talking in a remote corner of the palace road ahead. Judging from their attire, one was a palace maid and the other was wearing official uniform.

It seems that she and Huo Wuyou were not the only ones who took the opportunity to have a secret meeting tonight.

So she quickly hid herself behind a tree.

In the dim morning light, she tried to see the two people clearly.

so familiar...

She blinked, and after finally confirming the identities of the two people, she was shocked.

Chai Yue and Jiang Xu? How do they know each other?!

Jiang Xu is Prince Cheng's man, so did Chai Yue also betray the Queen Mother?

She had to find a chance to tell Huo Wuyou.
