At that moment, it seemed like someone hit me hard on the back of the head with a hammer, and my mind went blank.

But the familiar figure of that person was deeply engraved in my eyes like a knife carving.

"Little... little..."

I muttered, but could not utter a complete sentence, and when the "guest" sat there and turned sideways to look at me, his whole body seemed to be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.

He was motionless, even his breathing was suspended.

He and I just looked at each other in silence.

I don’t know how long they looked at each other like this, but a gentle and gentle voice sounded next to them: "Qingying, you are here."

While he was talking, Pei Yuanxiu had already stood up from his seat, walked slowly to me, and said softly: "He's here, so I asked you to come and meet him. You guys haven't seen each other for a long time."

Indeed, long time no see.

I was led by him and slowly walked into the front hall. The guest in the seat did not say a word from beginning to end, but there were countless things in his eyes that were once as clear as lake water, but they were replaced by a heavy look.

Covered up, all that remains are his strong hands that once fought on the battlefield and gave me endless tenderness, and the slight trembling when he pinched the armrest of the chair.

I can feel that he is trying his best to control himself, because the handle of the mahogany chair has made an almost broken whine.

At this moment, I finally walked up to him: "Little...it's been a long time."

I want to call him "Xiao Wu", but obviously, the person in front of me is no longer the laughing and scolding Xiao Wu; I want to call him your highness, but now he doesn't seem to be the "your highness" before. After thinking about it,

, I could only avoid addressing him and said the simplest three words.

Sitting on the chair, he finally let go of the armrest that was about to be crushed by him, and slowly stood up: "Qingying, long time no see."

After saying this, both he and I seemed to tremble.

This person is Pei Yuanfeng!

Speaking of which, I wasn't too surprised to see him. After all, people from both sides had already fought against Li'er before. Moreover, according to the current situation of the world, Xichuan and Jiangnan will have a confrontation sooner or later, and I am now at Pei Yuanxiu's place.

, it’s not too surprising to see him.

It's just that understanding is one thing, but the shock in your heart when you actually see him is another.

I even had the feeling that I was meeting someone I knew in my previous life.

It was precisely because of this feeling that after he and I said those two sentences, we both fell silent, as if we didn’t know what to say.

Maybe, there is nothing left to say.

When even Pei Yuanxiu stood beside me without saying a word, another voice sounded next to me——

"Yuanfeng, who is she?"

I have been looking at Pei Yuanxiu since I just came in from the back door. All my attention was on him, and I ignored that there was another person sitting next to him. But now this voice suddenly sounded, but it was a very familiar person.

The sound made my heart skip a beat and I turned my head.

A woman stood up from the side, looking at Pei Yuanfeng with a confused expression on her beautiful face, and then looked at me.

At this moment, I was as shocked as if I had just met Pei Yuanfeng.

This woman is petite, wearing a simple and plain skirt, but she can't hide her natural beauty; she is not young, but she still has an innocent look on her face, but that look is not pretending, not pretending, but

A kind of cleanliness and flawlessness shines from the deepest part of the eyes.

She turned out to be Xue Muhua!

I almost couldn't believe my eyes and ears.

She just called Pei Yuanfeng——Yuanfeng?!

This kind of intimate title is obviously not something people in ordinary relationships would use.

Although I have always known that she is from the Changming Sect and is naturally in Xichuan, it is not surprising that she and Pei Yuanfeng are familiar with each other, but I have also had doubts in my heart. After all, Yao Lao has left the Changming Sect and established his own business in Jiangnan.

As the daughter of Yao Lao, why did she not leave with Yao Lao, but stayed in Xichuan? Looking at her situation now, it seems that she came to Jiangnan on behalf of Xichuan as an envoy.

But, after all, this is a family matter between Yao Lao and her. In addition, I was poisoned before and have been worried about my daughter. I don’t have so much energy to inquire about other people’s news. But when I suddenly met today, I found that the matter was complicated.

Far more than I thought.

She actually asked Pei Yuanfeng - who am I?

What does this mean? Even if she and I are not close friends, we have dated, and we have lived in her house for so long. Her involvement with Huang Tianba also made her jealous. How could she just forget about me?

After all, you even asked me who I am!

Moreover, she just called Pei Yuanfeng "Yuanfeng". This may be a name between acquaintances, and it is not out of the ordinary, but when it is applied to her, it makes me feel extremely weird.

I stared at her helplessly, unable to say a word, but Pei Yuanfeng raised his head and looked at me, his eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was hinting at something, and then he said to her: "This is Qingying - Yue Qingying.

”

"Yue Qingying?" She muttered my name in a low voice, and her beautiful brows frowned slightly, as if she thought of something, but when she raised her head and looked at me, her eyes were still blank, and she just used a kind of expression.

He nodded to me in a strange but polite manner: "I've admired you for a long time."

My brows furrowed.

If a person has a bad memory, he would have forgotten all about me after being separated for three to five years. But after being reminded by others, he should still have some impression, but Xue Muhua in front of him seems to have no memory of my existence at all.

It seemed that after she had experienced so much with me, and even caused me such heavy hurt, she actually said to me - "I have admired you for a long time."

This unfamiliar kind word, compared to the bowl of soup that was poured into me, is like a needle tip piercing my heart.

And at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in my heart!

Just when she and I were facing each other in silence, another group of people came outside. Unsurprisingly, it was Yao Lao. He seemed to have rushed over as soon as he heard that there were guests here, with a hint of eagerness on his face.

When Xue Muhua saw him, she greeted him obediently, just like an ordinary daughter meeting her father, although her attitude was somewhat awkward and unfamiliar.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu, who had been sitting in the main seat, said: "You father and daughter should have a good gathering. I have sent people to prepare in the side hall."

Yao Lao glanced at him and said nothing, and even Xue Muhua didn't say a word. The two of them only said one sentence, then turned and left. However, before leaving, Xue Muhua looked back at Pei Yuanfeng again, and Pei Yuanfeng also nodded to her.

Respond.

As soon as they left, Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at us again, with the smile still on his face: "Qingying, the garden has a nice scenery. You can take Yuanfeng there for a walk. You--I think you haven't seen each other for so long, there must be a lot of them."

I have something to say. I’m going to see Li’er.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

After everyone left, Pei Yuanfeng and I still stood in the front hall, silent for an unknown amount of time. Finally, when it was time to speak no more, I turned around and said softly: "Come with me."

As I was talking, I walked back. Just when I opened the bead curtain and walked out of the side door, a pair of warm hands suddenly stretched out from behind and grasped my thin shoulders.

His palms were very hot, and he seemed to be too hot to stand it, and he was trembling slightly.

I felt that he seemed to want to hold me in his arms, but he didn't after all. He just held my shoulders, but this action and his trembling had completely betrayed all the emotions under his calm and stiff attitude, and I was also stiff.

Once there, I could no longer move my steps.

For a while, I couldn’t advance or retreat.

The bead curtain swayed between me and him, making a rustling sound.

It seems like these years have flown by like water.

In such a voice, he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect to see you again."

I didn't look back, I just said with a choked voice: "Do you think I'm dead?"

"..."

"Sorry."

"No, you don't need to apologize."

"..."

"It's me, I shouldn't - shouldn't trust him too much."

When he said "him", his hand became obviously heavier, and the weight at that moment almost crushed both me and him. I finally turned around slowly and looked at the shaking beads.

On the other side of the curtain, his somewhat blurry face, which was so young and handsome, seemed so pale at this moment.

I forced a smile: "That's my own choice, don't blame yourself."

"But I know that you haven't had a good life these past few years."

"..."

I didn't ask him why he knew. After all, if he could arrange the assassination in Yaowu Tower, then he would have power in the imperial city, at least in the capital. And in those years, I was also restless in the palace, and I was very restless.

It's not difficult to know my news.

However, no matter what kind of climbs and falls, it is already a thing of the past.

Thinking of this, I smiled calmly: "Good or bad, it's all over."

"It's over?"

"Yes, it has passed." I looked at him calmly on the other side of the bead curtain and said, "I am still alive now, I have found my daughter, and I am reunited with her. So even if I had any pain in the past, I have forgotten it.

”

He seemed to be frozen for a moment, and did not speak for a long time. After being silent for an unknown length of time, he said something like a wry smile:

"Forget, okay. Forget, okay."

I don’t know why, but what he said seems to have a deeper meaning.

Thinking of the light in my mind just now, I asked: "What about Xue Muhua? Why doesn't she remember me? What happened to you guys?"

As if he already knew I would ask, he quickly said: "Not long after Huang Tianba left, she made herself a bowl of medicine, and after she woke up, she forgot many things."

Marrow washing flower!

I had already felt it before, but when I actually heard Pei Yuanfeng say it, I was still extremely shocked.

Xue Muhua drank the marrow-cleansing flower for himself!

That was the kind of medicine she gave me when she was so jealous that she wanted to cut off the connection between me and Huang Tianba. After drinking that medicine, I forgot many people and things, and my whole person seemed to be completely transformed.

Became a brand new person.

It’s just that I didn’t take many medicines, and there were some accidents, and I eventually recovered my memory, but I was already on a road from which I can’t go back.

But I didn't expect that Xue Muhua actually took that kind of medicine for himself!

Pei Yuanfeng said that shortly after Huang Tianba left, she drank the marrow-cleansing flower for herself. How painful was she at that time? She was in such pain that she could no longer bear the suffering when she was awake. Even if she knew that she had drank the medicine, she might not be able to bear the pain.
