Xia Chu's words were sincere but helpless, whether it was the personal relationship between her and Lan Yuying, or the relationship between Lan Yuying and Xu Wenlan.
She hoped that the previous speculations were just Xiao Mubai's imagination, but the verification process finally coincided with the truth that she least wanted to believe...
"I also feel that all this is like a dream." Lan Yuying's voice was soft and low.
She had never blamed Xia Chu for not telling the truth. The girl in front of her was her childhood sweetheart who grew up with her. She was not related by blood, but it was better than being connected by blood.
But she... finally did something to hurt Xia Chu. Although she didn't want to, she had to do it.
Everything is fate, nothing is up to you.
"Brother never told me why my mother fled from the Western Region. She met my father after she left. Now that I think about it, my father's real name should be Miao Xilin."
Xia Chu nodded. Lan Yuying's words confirmed that the direction of her original investigation was correct.
"The Miao family migrated from Jicheng to Chang'an, and opened a Miao incense shop, which quickly became famous. This was a prosperous life, and my father and mother were very much in love. But at that time, Xiao The emperor of our country had a startling glance at my mother on the outskirts of Chang'an, and we have never forgotten her since. After many inquiries and searches, we finally found my mother's whereabouts."
Lan Yuying's eyes were very gentle when describing her parents' love, revealing a kind of longing for beauty, but when her words came to the end, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, obscuring the gentle and beautiful light in her eyes.
"Later, the imperial army took away everyone in the Miao Family Incense Shop overnight. My mother protected her with her life so that my father could escape in a hurry. The remaining people were bleeding like rivers and no one was spared. My mother was imprisoned in the palace and could not escape. Tianri, finally hanged himself." She covered her face and said tremblingly.
Tears flowed down between her fingers, trickling uncontrollably.
"Yun Yi, all the people in the Miao Family Incense Shop are my relatives. My mother also died at his hands. As a son of a human being, should I avenge this revenge? Should I insert that knife?" "Lan Yuying's voice was choked and trembling.
She knew that was Xiao Mubai's father, the noble Emperor Xiao.
After that knife stabbed her, she was Xiao Mubai's revenge for killing his father. Xia Chu had been in love with Xiao Mubai for many years, and she knew it better than anyone else.
Therefore, Lan Yuying understands more and more that while she is taking revenge, she has also established a new and sworn hatred between them. The sisters who were childhood sweethearts have overcome the old and new hatreds of the past and will never see each other again in the future.
Xia Chu couldn't answer Lan Yuying's question. At this moment, she wanted to hold Lan Yuying in her arms.
In her impression, Lan Yuying had never cried.
Ever since she was little, Lan Yuying has been a gentle and pleasant woman, well-behaved and obedient, and never let Bai Ruofei and Lan Xilin worry.
On the contrary, she was often beaten by Bai Ruofei, making her howl and cry loudly.
At this time, the pink and jade-shaped Lan Yuying held her in her arms like a little fairy, took out a bottle of nectar and told her: "The days are very sweet, Yunyi will not cry..."
A thin layer of moisture quickly gathered in Xia Chu's eyes, and he seemed to be in a trance, holding his collar tightly with slightly trembling hands.
The girl in front of her was crying so heart-wrenchingly. This girl was none other than her Meng'an...
But she could only watch with her limbs stiffened, watching the tears in Lan Yuying's eyes slide across her cheeks and fall on the rosewood coffee table in front of her. They could not penetrate for a long time, leaving a conspicuous tear stain.
She stared at the teardrops that were slowly disappearing, pursed her lips and asked, "Your Majesty... did he admit it himself?"
"When I questioned him, his expression was extremely complicated. Just when I fully expected him to deny it, the emperor admitted it himself." Lan Yuying said in a sob voice.
The clear tears in her eyes fell slowly, rolling down her jade cheeks like crystal pearls, but the look in her eyes showed no regrets and no hesitation.
Xia Chu was speechless and choked. She didn't know what else to say. The emperor admitted it himself. Lan Yuying's revenge was only natural, but that person was the emperor, Xiao Mubai's father, the person her mother had sacrificed her life for. …
! ! !
A light suddenly lit up in Xia Chu's eyes, and there was one more thing that was yet to be clarified: "Didn't the Emperor say that your mother poisoned her?"
Lan Yuying's sobs stopped, her eyes were full of confusion, her tone was still choked with sobs, and she said with a hint of confusion: "Poison? My mother is under house arrest alone in the palace, how can I poison the emperor?"
…
After a brief blank moment in Xia Chu's mind, it seemed that some of the fog had cleared up and it gradually became clear.
Wasn't the emperor's poison poisoned by Lan Yuying's mother
Who poisoned it
If it weren't for the poison administered by her mother, Zhao Lansheng's death would not have been attributed to Lan Yuying.
Then there is no so-called mother-killing hatred between her and Lan Yuying. Even if the emperor is unconscious now, he is still alive.
What's more, Lan Yuying's revenge is understandable. I think Xiao Mubai can understand her situation after knowing the whole story. As long as the emperor is still alive, it is not irreversible, and there is no need for them to be in a state of life and death. .
Another point is that when Lan Yuying just said that she questioned the emperor, the emperor's expression was extremely complicated. Based on the character of His Majesty that she was familiar with, if he had done this, he would never be so hesitant to admit it.
When Xia Chu thought of this, just now his arms seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift her into his arms. Now he couldn't wait to get up, walked to her and took her into his arms.
"I..." Lan Yuying didn't know why she suddenly changed her attitude. As soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly stopped, for fear that the scene in front of her was an illusion.
When she moved, the illusion was shattered.
When they opened their eyes again, they were sitting opposite each other, still enemies.
Xia Chu reached out and picked up a candied fruit on the plate on the table and handed it to her mouth: "The days are very sweet, and I don't cry when I dream..."
After she finished speaking, Lan Yuying was stunned for a moment but cried louder and louder. He put his hands through Xia Chu's waist and hugged her tightly.
The originally weak Lan Yuying's arms suddenly felt like iron, strangling her so hard that she could hardly breathe. It seemed that if she didn't hug this person tightly at this moment, the next moment she would be like morning clouds and disappear without a trace as soon as the sun shines.
Xia Chu knew what she was worried about, so he patted her back to comfort her and said in a gentle tone: "Meng'an, things are not as bad as you think. The emperor is not dead yet."
Lan Yuying's body suddenly stiffened, and she suddenly raised her head. Another teardrop fell from her tear-filled eyes: "Then wouldn't I... stab him again?"
…
Xia Chu kept coughing, let go of her, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Please say goodbye, don't say you have no chance now, that knife almost killed him, it would be God's will if he didn't die. Not to mention this matter, Maybe there is another hidden secret..."
