"Yunyi, Yunyi..." Mr. Xiahou shouted as he pushed the door open and entered the house.
He saw Xia Chu standing in front of the bronze mirror, stroking the marks on his neck.
His daughter, Xia Chu, died after his wife named her Yunyi.
Yunyi became his only treasure and the reason to live.
However, he almost lost him.
Almost…
His eyes were red, he calmed down, and then walked to her side.
The steps were light, as if the dust raised could hurt his Yunyi.
He took Xia Chu's hand and held it in his palm.
The last time he had held these hands, he had been a baby.
Weak and boneless, soft and waxy.
Before he turned one year old that year, he was sent to Zilan Mountain.
In the past ten years or so, we have written many letters but never got together, and we were almost separated forever.
When Xia Chu was in a coma, he thought that as long as he could live, he would depend on him.
"Dad, I promise you, go and ask the emperor for a marriage." He patted the back of Xia Chu's hand, his voice choked with sobs.
Xia Chu looked at Mr. Hou's sad expression and blamed himself.
In her last life, she was devoted to Xiao Yanjun, and she didn't realize that she had forced her father, who loved her most, into such a situation, as if she had aged overnight.
"Yun Yi is unfilial. Yun Yi doesn't want this marriage. Yun Yi wants to be by your side for the rest of his life." He held Lord Xiahou's hand in his hand and spoke in a gentle and gentle tone.
Xia Chu's words surprised Lord Xiahou.
Already desperate, I gave up the idea of stopping him, and thought of my words, hoping to meet the Holy Spirit.
This month, early summer, is about life and death.
Now, he agreed.
But she won't marry?
Xia Chu lifted Mr. Xia Hou's shocked chin and comforted him: "Yun Yi was young and acted recklessly, which made his father exhausted. After waking up, he thought about it carefully, and Xiao Yanjun didn't do anything good. .”
"Yunyi, you don't have to worry. If you really like it, your father will be able to ask for the imperial decree." Mr. Xiahou was afraid that she was comforting himself.
"Dad, I really don't want him anymore. I also don't like the palace." Xia Chu looked determined with disdain on his face.
In this case, dad will tell you something.
"When your mother was pregnant with you, she saved the emperor who was poisoned.
The emperor had promised that if a boy was born, he would inherit the title of marquis and choose a princess he liked to marry after he was crowned.
If she is a girl, she will be the Crown Princess.
But your mother doesn’t want you to live in that palace with red walls, she doesn’t want you to be burdened by the palace rules, and she doesn’t want you to live among women who are vying for favor and jealousy.
She hopes you can be like us.
When you find someone you love, you will never be apart.
So, after you were born, we concealed your gender.
At that time, your mother used herself as the medium to detoxify the emperor. After giving birth to you, her oil was exhausted. "When Mr. Xiahou said this, he probably recalled the past and felt very sad.
After calming down his mind, he continued after a moment: "And you were somewhat contaminated with toxins in your mother's body, and your body has been weak since you were a child.
I'm also afraid that if there are too many people in the house talking, your identity as a girl will inevitably be exposed.
Shortly after you were born, you were sent to Zilan Mountain and handed over to your mother's mentor Bai Ruofei.
On the one hand, take care of your body.
On the one hand, it can also conceal your identity.
Originally, if you insisted on marrying His Highness the Fourth Highness, I would not have told you these words.
Now, Dad is telling you because he hopes you will understand why he is opposed to this marriage despite being willing to do anything for you. "
It turns out that in her previous life, she was happily planning to marry Xiao Yanjun today, and naturally she had never heard her father's heartfelt words.
No wonder Xiao Yanjun couldn't wait to marry her when he learned her identity. He must have heard about the emperor's promise.
She is the crown prince by default, and the person she marries must be the crown prince.
"Yun Yi understands, please ask dad to agree to two other things." Xia Chu knew clearly in his heart that since he was given the opportunity, he would definitely change his way of life in this life.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Hou looked up at him with an inquiring look on his face.
"After the new year, I want to go to Hanyang City to join the Zhao family's army." Xia Chu said as he pulled the Marquis to sit down, while he stood behind him and helped the Marquis massage his shoulders and neck to please him.
"You want to see grandpa? Why do you need to join the army? Look at your body, how can you fight in the war?" The Marquis frowned, feeling very worried.
"I don't plan to let grandpa know my identity. My father can find someone to recommend me as a military doctor." There are some things she wants to find out, why the Zhao family army will be wiped out in the early summer of the next year.
In the last life, her grandfather, uncle, and cousin were all spared.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Seeing that his father had not spoken for a long time, he increased the strength in his hands and called coquettishly: "Daddy..."
"What about the second thing?" Mr. Hou asked with raised eyebrows.
Seeing that he acquiesced to the first thing, Xia Chu lowered his head and whispered softly: "I want to open a brothel..."
"What?" Mr. Xia Hou slapped the table and stood up. He turned around and stared at him with an angry face and asked, "What do you want to drive?"
"Brothet." Xia Chuqiao smiled sweetly and repeated in a warm voice.
"You!" Xia Houye pointed at Xia Chu, feeling angry for a moment.
"Oh, my father, how can I, a woman, still live in debauchery and live in the streets?" Xia Chu pressed Mr. Xia Hou's arm and sat down opposite him.
She poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of him, then carefully considered her words before continuing: "I want to open a brothel and let Li Xinlan take care of it for me. I'm going to Hanyang after the new year. I need to know about things in Beijing. Fireworks The place is best informed and yet hidden.”
"Yun Yi, you seem to have grown up suddenly..." Mr. Xiahou looked at him, and his eyes changed from anger at first to surprise now.
"You have chosen a good person. She is the one who has been serving your mother, and she is also the only one who knows your identity. It is indeed a lot more convenient for you to have her take care of it on your behalf. I will give the order." Mr. Hou nodded and agreed. Early summer.
He had already made his decision before he came here, and whatever he wanted, it was up to him.
"Thank you, dad." A faint smile appeared on Xia Chu's lips, as bright as a flower.
The heart-rending scene in my previous life still clearly appeared in my mind.
In this life, I will definitely live up to my oath and live up to my grudges.
He wants to become powerful, powerful enough to become Xiao Yanjun's lifelong nightmare.
We must also have strength and have strength.
Only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect...
