Chapter 592: It's time to grow up
When the four young swordsmen who were once unparalleled in their hands, but now they were bare-handed, left helplessly, Yue Qianqiu followed the path of the fierce guards to get out of the way and entered the west wing.
Seeing the two imperial doctors coming forward with a smile on their faces, he thought of Song Jianjia's criticism of them in the past, and remembered that Song Xiaoxiao might have treated Princess Ping'an in Yue Mansion. Zhou Jiyue was there, and women in the room would be chattering and having fun. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was really unlucky.
Finally, I had a gentle and loving mother. I had not had a stable day and had to go out to fight and kill again!
However, when he saw the empty soft couch, he heard the two imperial doctors explain that Xiao Jingjing had been sent to the inner room to settle, and the bedding had been replaced with new ones. He has not yet awakened yet, but he felt that he was lucky to be protected compared to the innocent and innocent little girl who was always facing a terrifying reality.
"You two go out and let all the guards around you spread out and no one is allowed to get close to you."
Both imperial doctors were old men. They knew that Yue Qianqiu would definitely say something to Xiao Jingjing next, so they hurriedly agreed and then quickly walked out. Soon, Yue Qianqiu heard their voices and footsteps coming from outside. Obviously, the guards began to move away from the door. Unless someone was in the wind, they would be heard in a low voice.
He listened with his ears and confirmed that there was only a calm breathing sound inside, so he flashed in. Seeing that the tent that had half of the hanging hanged from a large bed against the wall just covered Xiao Jingjing's front half, he slowed down. When he arrived in front of the bed, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The young palace master woke up so quickly."
At this moment, he saw Xiao Jingjing struggling to sit up, holding a sharp skirt knife in both hands, the short blade facing his chest and abdomen, and her chest was undulating violently, with her hair disheveled, and her moulded teeth seemed to be about to bite her pale lips and bleeding, and her expression was also struggling to a little hideous.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone talking. Yue Qianqiu just thought the sharp tip of the knife did not exist, and asked again with a smile: "When did the young palace master wake up?"
Xiao Jingjing thought of the scene where Yue Qianqiu knocked her out. Although she found her clothes intact after waking up, she vaguely remembered that the place was the residence of two imperial doctors. She even heard the sound of two imperial doctors talking beside her. But just now she heard Yue Qianqiu sending the four swordsmen away and sending the imperial doctor and the guard away. She held the dagger tightly with both hands, wondering whether the fullness of her mind was panic or discouraged. Even she drew the sword and found that she was doing something unintentionally.
"I woke up when you were talking outside... I was already a person who didn't even have a mother. What value do you still want to do with me?"
"You really believe that you are not your mother's daughter, and you really believe that you were thrown away by your mother?" Yue Qianqiu sat down with a smile. Seeing Xiao Jingjing so angry that his eyes almost popped out. The skirt knife seemed to be pushed forward at any time and anywhere. He touched his chin and said, "I knocked you out before because I suddenly thought of acting in a play without your consent. Well, don't mind, don't mind, I will tell you what happened when you fainted."
Xiao Jingjing originally made up her mind to believe anything Yue Qianqiu said. However, when she heard Yue Qianqiu fabricated the lie that she committed suicide by stinging herself in shame and anger, and deceived everyone to believe it. Hua Le was emotionally broken and revealed the truth under the target of public criticism. She was stunned and relaxed her hands. The skirt knife that she had just relied on just now fell down. The sharp tip of the knife stabbed straight into the quilt.
At the critical moment, Yue Qianqiu reached out and gently picked up the skirt knife. Then he played a few times between his fingers, and then asked sincerely: "How about it, I'm not so clumped in my chest now, right? Even if you were not your mother's child, think about it and see me. I was picked up by my grandfather from the street, and the result was not the same as a treasure until now?"
He appeared and turned the small skirt knife again, and said with a sigh: "You know, after more than ten years of getting along, people are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless? Even if you raise a puppy and a kitten, you can raise feelings, let alone a living person? How could your mother throw you away casually? To put it bluntly, she just felt that the emperor was not a king who would kill people in a rage, and I am a person who often abused kindness, so she used this trick to escape from the shell and cut off her arm in order not to implicate you."
Xiao Jingjing, who was confused, listened to Yue Qianqiu's words, and the tears that had been holding back before, finally could no longer control her tears. She suddenly leaned down, sobbed first, and then sobbed turned into a wail. If it weren't for all the people from the Red Moon Palace being sent away by Yue Qianqiu, the so-called saying that she committed suicide by stinging herself would have been exposed immediately.
Yue Qianqiu, who was worried about his shoulders, was relieved at this time, and made a full sense of his close brother's attitude, and once again made himself reasonable. Finally, he successfully stopped Xiao Jingjing's crying. When the little girl finally supported her to sit up straight, he took out his handkerchief and handed it over.
"Look, I've been crying like a big face, wipe it well?"
Although Xiao Jingjing is young, he still wants to save face. When she heard this joke, her eyebrows were raised. She snatched the handkerchief and wiped her face hard. Then she threw the handkerchief under the bed angrily. Seeing that Yue Qianqiu had no intention of picking it up, she finally turned around and stared at Yue Qianqiu who seemed to be smiling and snorted heavily.
Her throat was a little hoarse after crying for a while: "You used me to act like this scene, you wouldn't be just kind-hearted, right?"
"Smart, I have known you for only a few days, and I have only met you several times in total? How can you be so arrogant!"
Seeing Xiao Jingjing suddenly got angry, Yue Qianqiu smiled like a little fox: "Of course, I looked at you very pitiful before, so I thought about cheating, at least I had to know whether your mother really left you behind. But no matter whether she was really cruel or fake cruelty, I have already thought about it and sent you to Wuying Hall. There are many peers there, so you won't be alone."
Although he was taken to Wuying Pavilion by Zhou Jiyue and Song Jianjia for only two trips, Xiao Jingjing really liked the lively and noisy place. At this time, the corners of his mouth curled up. When he realized that he was now a child without a mother, she quickly put away her smile and pretended to be fierce.
"I don't believe it! There is no such good thing in the world. What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple, help me save a few people!" Yue Qianqiu looked directly into Xiao Jingjing's eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a very sincere tone, "Listen to me to tell you a story. Well, I was seven years old at that time, and my current situation was similar. Grandpa once said in front of someone and broke that I was not my cheap father's illegitimate son, but he picked it up from the street..."
The legend of the Ninth Prince of Yue’s family is well known to everyone in Jinling City. However, Xiao Jingjing is not a native of Jinling after all. Although he has heard of it, he is not very clear about the specific details.
When Yue Qianqiu heard that he had been rolling his eyes and isolation in Yue Mansion, when he picked up Zhou Jiyue, orphanage of Bailian Sect on the street, when Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning crossed the border and were escorted thousands of miles to complain to his father, when his master Yan Xu's ambition to revive Xuan Dao Hall, when he talked about the tough battle of Shui Yuntian's birthday... Xiao Jingjing was fascinated by his hearing before he knew it.
In the end, she finally had some willpower and suddenly woke up: "What does it have to do with this story if you want to save someone?"
"I want you to help save Dai Zhanning, who is in love with the young master of this house, Liu Fangyuan. He is also my junior brother. This time he and Liu Fangyuan went out to do business with my master, but they encountered crazy robbery and killing on the way. Dai Zhanning led people to cut off the rear, which made Liu Fangyuan come back to report the news. You know the people who robbed and killed them."
Xiao Jingjing immediately took a deep breath. She looked at Yue Qianqiu with her eyes straight, until she was convinced that he was not joking with her, and she couldn't help but tighten the quilt under her. Her mother was Princess Huoshan, Beiyan. She had only known it from the little monkey not long ago, and this was one of the reasons why she almost believed that her mother left her.
She always thought she was from Wu, and her attitude towards Beiyan was no different from that of ordinary officials and civilians in Wu. Now the Dai Zhanning mentioned by Yue Qianqiu is the son of a loyal minister and a good general. She still knows the person who robbed him and Liu Fangyuan, so it is only possible that the person who robbed them was from the Red Moon Palace!
Under extreme struggle, she almost bit her lips and made a bleeding mark. After a while, two words burst out with difficulty: "Who is it?"
Even if you know who it is, what's the use? Is there anyone listening to her young palace lord now?
"It's Liu Guofeng." When he said this name, Yue Qianqiu was concerned about the change in Xiao Jingjing's face. Seeing her showing a very surprised expression, he shrugged, "I heard from the little monkey that he is now from the Red Moon Palace. I just want to ask, do you know what he was in the past and what he did?"
Xiao Jingjing was silent again. In the past, she thought that the carefree life was beautiful and that she had no worries about anything, but now that everything has turned upside down, she felt that the innocent and ignorant self was so sad.
She didn't know the true identity of her mother, and she didn't know what the Red Moon Palace did. As for what background is the capable general whom Liu Guofeng brought back by his mother, and what she did, she still didn't know!
Yue Qianqiu knew that Xiao Jingjing would know that she must have known nothing. Now he talked about the series of events that occurred when many sects gathered at the end of last year, Jinling re-created martial arts records, and then caused a series of events that occurred due to the defection of the Shengong Sect. When he mentioned Liu Guofeng, a small group of radical young people, and then instigated Zhen Rong to the front, hid behind, and ran away when something happened. He talked about the past when he used Zhen Rong's tattoo to induce him into the trap step by step, Xiao Jingjing's face changed completely.
"This is impossible! How could Brother Liu..."
"Well, I'm talking bad about him alone, it's normal for you to believe it. This is how the Lord of the Liu Mansion is back. It's not very suitable for you to live here again. I'll move you and the four swordsmen who are still focused on your way to Wuying Hall. You can ask them what kind of person Liu Guofeng is. Anyway, when I go back to save Dai Zhanning, I'll ask them for help too!"
Seeing Yue Qianqiu so open and honest, Xiao Jingjing's last trace of luck was gone. She pricked her palms with her sharp fingernails, as if she wanted to prick the bleeding and pierce the hole, using the pain to relieve the indescribable regret in her heart. It was not until Yue Qianqiu stood up that she suddenly realized from the trance.
"Okay, I promise you this!" She took a deep breath and said word by word, "But I will go and see with my own eyes whether Liu Guofeng is such a selfish and unkind person you said!"
"Okay, I'll thank you for Aning first." Yue Qianqiu felt a big rock in his heart finally fell, and said with a smile, "But I'm talking about the lies, don't let me get it. I will talk to the two imperial doctors, wrap a circle of gauze around your neck, as for your face that is too bloodless... Your face is not good now, and others can't find clues for the time being. Your voice must also change, after all, I'm talking about you that you are stinging your throat, not slitting your throat..."
Seeing that Xiao Jingjing obviously showed a shy and angry expression, Yue Qianqiu quickly stepped back, avoided the itchy scratching she threw at, and then yelled: "Anyway, as early as today, tomorrow at the latest, I will move you to Wuying Pavilion. You know Junior Sister Song's medical skills. With her here, you don't need two imperial doctors to help cover it up. It's getting late, I'll leave first!"
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu's feet were oiled, he slipped out of the house as if he was flying. Thinking that he could not tell the difference between those who truly loved him and those who had flattered him because of his mother, Xiao Jingjing couldn't help but curl up into a ball. Suddenly, the room was very cold, which was obviously burning with a ground dragon.
Is this the price you have to pay to grow up? How great it would be if people didn’t have to grow up! But, she should grow up…
When Yue Qianqiu touched his hungry belly and walked out of the Liu Mansion gate with a sigh, he sighed to his mouth but swallowed it back. Because he suddenly saw that in the darkness that the two lanterns at the gate could not be dispelled, there was a man with a straight back as tall as a green pine.
He subconsciously led Snow White to take two steps forward, then shouted: "Master..."
Yan Xu smiled and went forward, rubbed Yue Qianqiu's head as usual, then pounded his shoulders, and then said in a deep voice: "I heard everything from Eunuch Chen. Well, your cleverness is exactly the same as before, and it makes people disagree. Do whatever you want, just do it, just don't forget to turn around and call me! In short, Master will give you a guarantee!"
Faced with this unexpected answer, Yue Qianqiu immediately grinned. This is why he never cared about his life experience. He was so lucky that he had such a grandfather and master. Can his biological parents he had never met be compared to? Even if he is really a noble man, which emperor can compare to his son with Yan Xu and half as good as Yan Xu to him? Even the current emperor is far less than the fat man!
Without saying a word, he reached out and clenched his fist and bumped Yan Xu gently: "Is this still necessary? Master, I am sure that you can do it!"
