wake up from dream

"Luo, where's Chen Xue?" Seeing Luo, Zi Qing first asked about Chen Xue's situation. After all, Chen Xue was once her good friend, even though the development of the matter could not be controlled by herself in the end.

"She was locked up by her grandfather, but nothing will happen," Luo said.

"It's fine." Zi Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

"She used you like that, and you still think about her like that?" Luo asked puzzled.

"Actually, she just wants to be the head of the family, and she was very nice to me before that..."

"Didn't I warn you?"

"Remind me?" Ziqing really can't remember what Luo reminded herself?A look of doubts.

"In the carriage..." Luo said.

"Carriage?" Only then did Ziqing remember that she had just been kidnapped by Luo at that time. After Luo saw that she was very kind to Chen Xue in the carriage, a sneer appeared on the corner of Luo's mouth. At that time, she asked him why he was smiling, but he only answered "When you know who she is, you will know..."

"Remember?" Luo said seeing Ziqing's sudden realization.

"Yeah." Zi Qing nodded, and then brought the topic to Chen Xue, "What kind of person is Chen Xue? In fact, Chen Xue is not bad, right? It's just why she wants to be the head of the family so much?"

"Chen Xue is not weak. Those weak appearances before were just pretended in front of you, and, in front of my grandfather, she is also like this..."

"She also pretended to be weak in front of your grandfather? Why?" Shouldn't she behave well in front of her grandfather?

"I don't know about that, you can ask her yourself!" Luo said, as if I didn't know her well.

"She also killed someone?" I remember Chen Xue said that she had killed an old man.

"Well, there's nothing strange about it. It would be strange if no one has been killed in this Zhumao Villa!"

"Then Chen Xue only killed one old man?"

"One?" Luo sneered and stopped talking.

"More than one?" Seeing Luo's expression, Zi Qing could guess the answer.

"Forget it, if you have anything to ask Chen Xue directly. I think she will be willing to answer for you."

"I see, when can I see Chen Xue?"

"Now you are our owner's friend. The owner has ordered you to do whatever you want." Luo said.Ziqing thought to herself, it turns out that having such a friend would give her such a good treatment, and try her best to satisfy any request...

"Okay, after I see Rong Ruo in a while, you can take me to see Chen Xue."

"it is good."

"Qing'er!" Rong Ruo came into the room and hugged Zi Qing.

"Rong Ruo." Zi Qing still checked Rong Ruo's safety first, and felt relieved when she saw that there was no sign of injury on his body. "It's fine." Zi Qing smiled.

"Qing'er, are you alright?"

"I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"As long as you're fine."

"How did you come back to Mao Mao Villa?"

"After pushing you away that day, Chen Xue was caught by her grandfather. I was about to go back to find you, but the poisonous ghost appeared. He asked Chen Xue's grandfather to take Chen Xue away. The poisonous ghost told me that Chen Xue Xue will not be in danger. Later, I thought that it was Chen Xue’s family affairs after all, and it was inconvenient for me, an outsider, to intervene, so I planned to go back to find you, but the poisonous ghost stopped me, saying that he had taken you to a very safe place. where I went..."

"So that's the case." Zi Qing nodded, "The poisonous ghost asked me if I wanted to take this opportunity to leave the palace, but I... I left the palace, we couldn't be together...so I hesitated..."

"Leave the palace? Qing'er, leave. If you stay in the palace, you will lose your freedom for the rest of your life. It is impossible for the emperor to let you go when you are 25 years old..." Although Rong Ruo was also very reluctant, but I don't want to see Ziqing's final fate of dying in the palace, so leaving is the best choice, and if I want to see Ziqing, I can find a way to meet her...

"Rong Ruo, do you agree with me leaving?" Zi Qing had mixed feelings in her heart, this must be in response to the phrase "you can only get something if you give it up", right?No matter which path you choose, you have to give up some. Of course, probably no one will choose to return to Kangxi, that is the most stupid way...

"Qing'er, we can still meet again in the future. If you go back to the palace, we can only meet under the eyes of the emperor, which is really dangerous."

"I know, it's just that I'm gone, so we can't see each other every day..." This is the reason why Ziqing can't let go, but she also doesn't want to go back to Kangxi. Looking back on the days when she was with Rongruo, it was so beautiful and lovely. It can only be a beautiful memory...

"Okay, Qing'er, let's make this decision. I think the poisonous ghost's place should be safe. If you can, you should go back there. As long as the emperor doesn't find out, nothing will happen." Rong Ruojian Ziqing was hesitant, so he had to make up his mind first, because he didn't want Ziqing to return to Kangxi's side, and he didn't want to see Ziqing suffering and suffering again...

"Well, if you are free from now on, come and see me." Zi Qing said.

"Okay, think about it, am I in the golden house now?" Rong Ruo said with a smile.

"The golden house hides the beauty? Think about it, the poisonous ghost's house is just a thatched cottage..." Ziqing didn't care about the deep meaning in Rongruo's words, and only chose "thatched cottage" to talk about. After so many years, Ziqing This shyness still hasn't changed. When encountering this kind of situation, she always changes the topic first...

"Then help Qing'er build a room for my husband." Rong Ruo hugged Ziqing again. Ziqing hadn't heard Rong Ruo say the word "for her husband" for a long time. After hearing it, she felt a pang in her heart. Sour, how long can I listen to this sentence?

"Rong Ruo, does the emperor know that you are here?" The matter is almost over, should Rong Ruo go back?

"I'll go back after I've settled you down." Rong Ruo's hands tightened, and he couldn't bear to leave before he left.

"Rong Ruo..." Zi Qing buried her head in Rong Ruo's neck, breathing in the sunshine smell from Rong Ruo's body, no one knows which day will be the day of their parting this time.

"Qing'er, I will find a way to get you back to me, believe me! One day, you will come back to me."

"Well, I believe in you!" The two embraced tightly, everything else in the world is no longer important, the important thing is mutual trust and the warmth given by each other...

Ziqing followed Luo to the darkroom.It turned out that the darkroom was not only used to punish people, but also to imprison people, and Chen Xue was locked in one of the darkrooms.You can feel the cold wind from the entrance of the darkroom. I don’t know if it’s because too many people died here, so the resentment is too heavy, so that the yin energy is not enough for you...

The arrangement of the darkroom is very clean, except for the outermost room used for torture and torture, which is covered with bloodstains on the floor, there are no bloodstains in the rest...

"Chenxue is locked up in this kind of place?" This is the second time Ziqing finds it unbelievable. With such a grandfather, it would be better not to have one!

"Chenxue." Before coming to a room, the guard opened the door. The dark room, as the name suggests, is also a dark place with no light. This room is only about two square meters. The place is not big anymore, as long as Ziqing, Luo and Chenxue stand in that space, it will be almost full...

"Sister?" Chen Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zi Qing to come here to see her.

"How are you?" Zi Qing saw that Chen Xue was only wearing a thin coat and her body was covered with scars, so she knew she was not good...

"Have you applied the medicine yet?" Zi Qing didn't dare to touch the wound on Chen Xue's body.

"Sister..." Chen Xue's eye circles were red, and she choked up.

"Let's chat first, I'll come back later." Luo said, and then went straight out the door.

"Chen Xue, did your grandfather beat you?" Zi Qing pulled Chen Xue to sit beside the stone bed.

"Sister, I'm fine, it's just a small injury."

"What small injury? Look, you are a girl, can you still be considered a small injury if you are covered in bruises like this?"

"Sister, don't you blame me for using you? I thought you would be angry with me!" Chen Xue smiled. No one has ever treated herself like this in this Zhumao Villa. When Chen Xue decided to use Ziqing, there was actually something wrong with her. She hesitated, but in the end she was still loyal to her long-awaited dream, and she couldn't just give up like this.

"Forget it, it's really not a big deal. You were the one who took care of me in the palace at that time, and you never hurt me..." Chen Xue did not hurt Ziqing, the only thing she did was to trick Ziqing into helping her Regarding the matter of going to that village, Ziqing and Rongruo also wanted to leave the villa, so there was not much conflict.

"Sister, what are you going to do next? Do you want to go back to the palace?" Chen Xue asked.

"I'm not going back, I'll go to the thatched hut of the poisonous ghost." Zi Qing said.

"Poison ghost? Is it Jiang Hu's poisonous ghost who is good at using poison?" Chen Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect Ziqing to know such a Jianghu person.

"Exactly, you don't know him?" Zi Qing thought that Chen Xue knew the identity of the poisonous ghost in this villa!

"I've heard of it, I didn't expect my sister to know such a character, but it seems that my sister has a good relationship with poisonous ghosts..."

"Fortunately, he saved my life before, and then became friends. By the way, Chen Xue, can you tell me why you must be the head of the family?" When it comes to the thatched cottage of the poisonous ghost, Zi Qing thought of it The token thing.

"Sister, I have to start with my parents...my parents were very happy, they were very loving, and I also had a warm family and a carefree childhood, but when I was eight years old In [-], my parents died one after another because of missions. After that, I was raised by my grandfather. He said that he raised me. In fact, he just threw me to a martial artist and asked him to teach me martial arts. My grandfather never looked at me. At first, I didn't know why, but later I found out that it was because my grandfather didn't like my parents' marriage at all, and repeatedly objected, but my mother became pregnant later, so she reluctantly agreed. My mother was also a charlatan Yes, she also has some kung fu, in order to please her grandfather, she also joined the ranks of killers, but it's a pity..." Chen Xue shed tears as she spoke..." It turned out that Chen Xue's grandfather didn't like Chen Xue, but Chen Xue still had such a The reason turned out to be not just because of Chen Xue's weak temperament, but why did Chen Xue pretend to be weak in front of her grandfather?

"Chen Xue, you obviously have a good kung fu, why don't you show it in front of your grandfather, but hide it?"

"Grandpa asked the martial artist to teach me martial arts, didn't he just want me to work for him? I don't want to, even if I pretend to be weak and act, I don't want to kill for him, but even if I am like this, the task that should be given to me , he still assigned no less to me..." Chen Xue smiled wryly.

"Why don't I tell the poisonous ghost to let you go with me!"

"Sister, forget it, my grandfather won't do anything to me, at least he won't take my life, if I die, then he will be dead!" A cold light flashed in Chen Xue's eyes, it seemed that she She really hated her grandfather, "Actually, it's not easy for me to find out about my mother's death. It might be my grandfather's order..."

"The order he gave?" Ziqing was even more astonished. This is the real reason why Chen Xue insisted on getting the token. She wanted to avenge her mother...

"Yes. This is the result of my investigation for so many years." Chen Xue said calmly.

"Chen Xue, let go of your hatred. You are too tired to live like this. Leave with me, okay?"

"Sister, I don't want to just leave like this. I want to find out who the murderer of my mother is, and I want him to pay the price!" The cold light in Chen Xue's eyes was even worse.

"Actually, you can live a better life. Why do you have to suffer like this? If your parents know about it, they won't feel at ease." Which parents would like to see their children live with hatred?

"Sister, I'm fine. Maybe I'll leave after I find the murderer. Even if someone keeps me, I won't stay. But it's not right now." Chen Xue said very clearly and firmly, Zi Qing must not be able to persuade her at this moment.

"Okay, then if you change your mind, tell Luo."

"Okay." Chen Xue showed a gratified smile, there are still people in this world who care about her, and she is not alone.

Ziqing left the darkroom, and Luo led the way.

"Luo, if Chen Xue is willing to leave, can you please help me bring her to my place?" Zi Qing stepped forward.

"Chen Xue is stubborn, I don't think it's easy to change her mind." Luo understood Chen Xue.

"I know, it's just that I'm worried about her."

"Understood." As a killer, Luo naturally couldn't understand Zi Qing's actions. After being betrayed, why should he still treat her well?

"Also, you can send some medicine to Chen Xue to rub it, if the wound on her body is not rubbed with medicine, it will be bad if it gets serious..."

"Yes." Luo simply replied.
