Du Suxi woke up slowly.
Looking at everything around him with his eyes open and the familiar thatched roof, Du Suxi took a long breath and finally felt at ease.
"Great, you finally woke up. I thought you were going to drink my blood again this time." Taohua clapped her hands happily as she watched Du Su wake up. She was so happy that Du Suxi couldn't help but blush.
After all, it was still difficult for her to face the fact that the little kid in front of her was her savior.
"Ahem, Taohua, is the child in my belly okay?" Du Suxi hurriedly sat up, looked at Taohua and asked, her hand subconsciously placed on her belly, her heart beating loudly. Standing, very nervous.
Taohua tilted her head, scratched her head again, and looked at Du Suxi's very neat hands, her voice was still very clear and loud.
"Ah? You ask me? I can only harm people, not save them. I don't know. Just ask my grandpa."
Taohua also kindly helped Du Suxi as a guide with her tender fingers, pointing at her grandfather.
"..." Du Suxi blushed in embarrassment. Naturally, she saw Taohua's grandfather, and also saw... He Lianheng, who was sitting aside and looking at her expressionlessly.
Du Suxi felt very embarrassed about running away without permission. Why bother to ask? Fortunately, the old man seemed to be very considerate. Looking at Du Suxi who looked embarrassed, he explained generously.
"Don't worry, little baby, the little baby in your belly is fine, but if it happens again, even the Great Luo Immortal won't be able to save you."
The old man's answer finally gave Du Suxi some reassurance. Take a deep breath. Du Suxi calmed down. He looked at He Lianheng uneasily, wanting to say something, but felt unable to say it. In the midst of a fierce struggle in his heart, He Lianheng suddenly stood up and left the thatched house without saying a word.
"Brother Prince, why are you leaving?" Taohua's eyes were sharp, watching He Lianheng leave, she shouted hurriedly, raised her short legs, and hurriedly chased He Lianheng.
"..." Watching He Lianheng walking further and further away, gradually turning into a small figure, Du Suxi felt even more uneasy. Is He Lianheng really angry? Did he get angry because he left secretly without saying a word
Just as she was thinking about it, a deep feeling of guilt occupied her heart, but she was interrupted by a hearty laugh.
"What? The little baby saw his little lover running away, did he feel distressed?"
Old Pisces looked at Du Suxi's expression very leisurely and laughed without caring at all.
Du Suxi couldn't help but blush again when she heard this. She looked at Pisces and explained. "Senior, the Third Prince and I are just casual acquaintances. We only have kindness and friendship."
I thought that by explaining it this way, Old Man Pisces would believe in relief, but he never thought that what he got was even bigger laughter.
"You little baby, you don't know blessings when you are in blessings. My disciple, how could I not know that you only think of him as a chance encounter, but you don't know that he treats you like a pearl or a treasure? Otherwise, why would you ask me for it? Thousands of years of ginseng has been used as medicine, and I have been guarding you day and night? In this way, it is quite a chance encounter."
After the old man finished speaking, he laughed again, but what he said touched Du Suxi's heart deeply.
Thousand-year-old ginseng has been used as medicine to protect it day and night. No matter which one, it was too much for her to bear.
Such a carefree person is actually so kind to me. Du Suxi bit her lip and watched the Pisces old man laughing so loudly that he almost bit the corner of his lip. Then he calmed down and answered calmly.
"The Third Prince's kindness and kindness to me will naturally be remembered in my heart, and I will definitely repay him in the future!"
Pisces looked at Du Suxi's cold and calm expression, thinking that she was indeed the proud daughter chosen by God. She was indeed different from others, but so what? He Lianheng is his disciple, no matter what, he should help!
"Haha, you little girl, can't you see that you are so cold-hearted? If you really want to repay him, I have a way. It depends on whether you agree or not?"
Du Suxi looked at the sly smile of the old man Pisces, her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to her mind, but she still smiled dryly and coughed, looking at the old man Pisces and said respectfully. "Senior, please tell me."
"You are the proud daughter destined by God. If you really want to repay him, marry him. Although my disciple is romantic, he is not obscene. Even if he is in the Three Palaces and Sixth Ward in the future, he will never do it. It’s not good for you. I can guarantee this, old man.”
Old Pisces looked at Du Suxi with burning eyes, waiting for her answer.
This old man in Pisces can be described as a legend. Not only is he very knowledgeable in poison and medical skills, he is also very knowledgeable in the art of divination and astrology. He is a person at the level of a heavenly saint, but the old man Pisces doesn't like fame and fortune. He resolutely refused the fine clothes and food offered by the court and lived in the mountains, becoming a chic hermit. The few disciples he accepted were not based on talent, but only on eye-sight. He spoke very boldly.
Those who are pleasing to the eye will be accepted if they are talented and intelligent; those who are not pleasing to the eye will be accepted even if they are amazingly talented!
Therefore, everyone in the world knows that all the apprentices of Old Man Pisces are extremely intelligent people.
Du Suxi's lips twitched when she heard Old Man Pisces say this answer. She didn't expect Old Man Pisces to come to help He Lianheng with matchmaking. His face immediately turned cold.
"Senior, please stop joking. Du Suxi will repay His Highness's kindness in his lifetime. There is no need for Senior to worry about this."
The old man Pisces was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Du Suxi to refuse outright. He sighed and looked at Du Suxi with a look that hated iron.
"Oh! Little baby, why don't you agree? Do you know how valuable my thousand-year-old ginseng is? Without it, the child in your belly would have died long ago!"
After that, in order to exaggerate the atmosphere, he slapped his leg with a worried look on his face.
"..." Faced with such pressing steps, Du Suxi clenched her fists, then calmed down, lowered her eyebrows, ignored the expression of the old man Pisces, lowered her head and replied in a deep voice with no expression on her face.
"Du Suxi swears in this life that he will try his best to repay the kindness between the senior and the third prince. If necessary, Du Suxi will never give up!"
Speaking of which, Old Man Pisces had nothing to say. He could only give her a complicated look, drop the topic, and look at Du Suxi with a serious face.
"I heard from that boy that you were planning to go down the mountain and escaped overnight?"
"Yes, I have something important to do when I go down the mountain!" Du Suxi nodded and admitted.
"Is it because I'm not good here? Or is someone bullying you?"
Du Suxi shook her head and answered honestly. "No, I have something important to do and I have to leave."
The old man Pisces snorted, obviously dismissive, and curled his lips.
"If you have something important, why don't you let that brat handle it for you? Just stay in the mountain. Stay with the old man for a while. Even if you repay your kindness, old man, I will pass on all my life's mantle to you!" After a pause! . The old man Pisces looked at Du Suxi's expressionless face and added.
"Don't feel like you're at a loss. You've taken a huge advantage. I don't want to accept any number of people who are crying and shouting to be my apprentice!"
This is the proud daughter of heaven in the future, and Old Man Pisces does not dare to force her to stay.
The so-called knowing the destiny means just being able to know it. It cannot be revealed easily, cannot be easily revealed, cannot be changed, and cannot go against the destiny.
The so-called knowing destiny is just knowing a few more things than ordinary people. Time will still flow and nothing will change.
Even if Old Man Pisces knows his destiny, he knows the person in front of him
She is the proud daughter of heaven in the future and a person who will cause harm to the country. Nothing can be changed. If he forces her to stay, it will break the rules. God’s punishment is not just talk.
Du Suxi still didn't blink, looking at Old Man Pisces, not tempted at all, and spoke calmly.
"Senior, I really have something important to do. Even if I risk my life, I still have to go down the mountain. I have offended you so much. Please be patient and don't argue with Su Xi."
"You..." Being rejected so decisively by Du Suxi, Old Man Pisces wanted to say something, but he forced himself to hold it back, with a wry smile on his lips, and sighed helplessly.
"In that case, after you have recovered, go down the mountain. However, don't think about going down the mountain alone again. Where do you think I am, Pisces Valley? Can I come in and out at will?"
Looking at Du Suxi's confused eyes, Old Pisces opened his mouth to explain to Du Suxi again.
"A set of Qimen Dunjia formations are arranged both up and down the mountain in the Pisces Valley. If you don't follow the correct steps, you will be trapped in the Pisces Valley. Do you think this is fun? Next time, you will really do it. The sky will not respond, and there will be no way to call."
Old Pisces' voice could be considered kind, but it struck Du Suxi's heart hard. She didn't expect that He Lianheng saved her life again. If he had not appeared in time, he and his children might have died there. In just a few days, she owed He Lianheng a lot of life. I'm afraid it would really take her whole life to pay it back, right
Her eyes showed a little guilt, but Du Suxi quickly put them away, pretending to be nonchalant, she raised her head and looked at Old Man Pisces. in silence.
"I heard that you promised that you would take Taohua out of here? Taohua is my only granddaughter and has never left the valley."
Du Suxi didn't expect that the old man Pisces would suddenly ask this. He looked stunned, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, lowered his head and said.
"If it's inconvenient for seniors, juniors can go down the mountain alone."
The old man Pisces looked at Du Suxi and waved his hands, showing a tired face. "Are you really going to take Peach Blossom down the mountain?"
Du Suxi thought for a while and finally responded, "Yes, I promised peach blossoms."
Old Pisces nodded. He took a deep breath and nodded. "In that case, take good care of her and follow you so that she can learn something."
The last sentence sounded extremely strange to Du Suxi. Mr. Xindao, I’m afraid you don’t know what I do, right? Learn something from me? What should I do if I learn badly? This old man looked so shrewd, and he didn't even know what he was doing, so he dared to hand over his granddaughter to her. Isn't this a little too hasty? "
"What? You don't want to?" Old Man Pisces looked at Du Suxi's embarrassed look and snorted coldly, "I tell you, Peach Blossom's blood can cure hundreds of poisons. It will definitely be of infinite benefit to you to take her with you! If you weren’t Taohua, you probably wouldn’t have had your life talking to me here!”
When the old man Pisces said this, he took out a handful of melon seeds from nowhere and ate them. His face was full of pride, just like the condescending Huang Shiren in the early Republic of China.
Du Suxi was forced to cough by Old Pisces' words and glanced at Old Pisces awkwardly. He nodded in response.
"Junior will definitely take good care of Taohua. Senior, please rest assured."
The old man Pisces threw a melon seed shell casually and nodded casually. "That's good." His expression was leisurely and contented, as if he had gotten rid of a big trouble.
“…”
"Okay, okay, don't stay here anymore, Huxinting, that brat is right there."
The old man Pisces rolled his eyes and continued to crack melon seeds. He gestured towards Du Suxi with an ambiguous tone of someone who had come before.
"Senior, the Third Prince and I are just good friends..." Du Suxi explained helplessly, but received an even bigger look in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I know, it's fun to get to know each other by chance and make close friends for a while. I understand, old man. Go quickly. If you go late, something might happen again!"
"..." Du Suxi gritted her teeth and finally realized that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply stopped explaining. She glanced at the carefree old Pisces and couldn't help but drop a sentence.
"Senior's virtue is as good as Huang Shiren's." He ran away in a hurry.
Old Pisces was left sitting up in confusion, looking at Du Suxi running away, blinking and muttering.
"Who is this Huang Shiren? Let me figure it out?"
"Huh? Why can't you calculate? Could it be that this girl can't beat me? I'm calculating..."
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, He Lianheng, dressed in black, stood on the railing. Quietly looking at the rippling blue waves of the lake below.
The breeze blew gently across my face, bringing with it a bit of the humid wind unique to the lake.
If you look closely, you can see that in the narrow red phoenix eyes, a few red blood streaks are particularly obvious in the dark pupils.
Little Taohua was just coaxed away by him. Only then did he have a moment of peace.
Looking at the tranquil green lake, He Lianheng slowly calmed down his heart. Immerse yourself in your own thoughts.
It's time to go back. He Liankuang should have to pay a painful price to let him know that he is by no means a little sheep that can be cut off by others.
But, what should we do about Du Suxi, a woman who does whatever she wants
No matter what, if she really wanted to go down the mountain, what if he took her down the mountain? He didn't believe that he would not be able to protect Du Suxi's safety.
Just as he was lost in thought, a soft call came from behind him. "He Lianheng."
It's Du Suxi's voice. Why is she here? He Lianheng turned around and looked at Du Suxi who ran out wearing only a pair of unlined clothes. He frowned, but there was a hint of teasing on the corner of his mouth.
"What, you know you did something wrong, so you decided to seduce me?"
"You!" Du Suxi waited for He Lianheng with raised eyebrows. She was so angry at He Lianheng's attitude that she snorted coldly.
"I just came to see you, nothing else."
He Lianheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Du Suxi like a romantic young man, and said with a smile. "Oh? Really? I thought you were grateful to me for being your lifesaver and had nothing to repay, so you decided to pledge yourself to me. If that's the case, well, I can barely accept it."
Du Suxi gritted her teeth, forced herself to endure the breath, and spoke with a forced smile.
"I am indeed here to thank you, but I feel that repaying gratitude is not just a way. The days are long, and maybe I will save you one day in the future."
Hearing these extremely confident words, He Lianheng chuckled and nodded indifferently.
"Really? Then I'll wait and see."
Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng's unconcerned expression and knew that He Lianheng didn't believe it, so she didn't explain much and looked at He Lianheng and said. "I want to go down the mountain."
"I will take you down the mountain the day after tomorrow."
After He Lianheng said that, he turned around and leaned against the railing, looking at the lake. Several goldfish were swimming around in it, looking very leisurely, as if he suddenly felt interested. Lian Heng simply sat down. He took the fish food placed aside and fed the fish leisurely. He had no idea that there was another person standing behind him.
Being ignored in this way, Du Suxi quietly clenched her fists, thinking about what Old Pisces said, and her anger suddenly disappeared. A feeling of guilt filled her chest. Du Suxi raised her head and looked at the tall figure. Speak sincerely.
"He Lianheng, thank you for saving me and my child. If I have the chance, I will definitely return it to you. If you are in danger, I will not hesitate to die!"
The action of feeding the fish suddenly paused, and for a moment he continued to pick up the fish food casually, throwing one piece at a time into the lake. Looking at the several big goldfish competing for food, He Lianheng lazily
The voice came immediately.
"No need, because I won't have such a day, but you, please be careful and don't lose your life easily. I don't like the things I picked up to be stolen by others. I picked you up, except for me, No one can steal it.”
“…”
From Du Suxi's angle, he could just see one side of He Lianheng's face, with sharp corners. Her face is like the moon at dawn, and her eyes are like bright stars. She looks somewhat similar to Helian Kuang, but the impression she gives is completely different.
If you want to compare, it seems that the gap is like a thousand miles.
One is like the sharpest sword in the world. Cold, ruthless, ruthless, decisive.
One is like the brightest moon in the world. Cold inside and warm at heart, full of affection. Simply arrogant.
Subconsciously, he touched the child in his belly. Du Suxi's mood miraculously calmed down.
"Thank you. You saved my child. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have aborted it long ago."
He Lianheng turned his body and took a look at Du Suxi. His eyebrows were raised slightly, making him look a bit like a playboy.
"What? Do women like to change their minds when nothing happens? One moment they say they want to have an abortion, and the next moment they want to save the child?" After that, before Du Suxi could answer, He Lianheng pursed his lips to his side again. greeted.
"Come here, sit down and talk, it will relieve my boredom."
Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng's pretending to be ferocious, suppressed a smile, walked over honestly, sat next to He Lianheng, and thought to herself. This He Lianheng, after all, has a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
He Lianheng looked at Du Suxi and took off his black robe neatly. He casually threw it on Du Suxi, looked at the sky, and spoke carelessly.
"It's too hot today, help me get it." Du Suxi was startled, looked at the robe in her arms, and looked around, thinking that this place is close to water, and it is early summer, where can it be hot? She was so sick, she smiled, and Du Suxi hugged her tightly, but she never thought that He Lianheng's impatient voice reached her ears again.
"Forget it, forget it. This is a silk robe. It will get wrinkled if you do it like this. I'm giving you an advantage! I'll lend it to you. Don't get it dirty."
Du Suxi was startled, finally couldn't help it, burst out laughing, looked at He Lianheng who was looking up at the sky, curled her lips, she didn't understand what He Lianheng meant in her heart, she didn't say anything, she just said to him He Lianheng whispered thank you.
The two of them didn't speak for a while, but the atmosphere became very harmonious.
"I don't think the fish can eat that much." Seeing He Lianheng scattering fish food in large quantities, Du Suxi finally couldn't help but raise her head and reminded. Unexpectedly, he saw a faint blush on He Lianheng's face.
Is he shy
Du Suxi was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
He Lianheng felt guilty when he saw Du Suxi staring at him without turning around. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and snorted coldly, pretending to be fierce.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a man? Will you fall in love with me if I treat you just a little bit?"
"..." Du Suxi almost couldn't calm down with one sentence. Forced up a smile. Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng. Smiled slightly.
"Your Highness is thinking too much. The daughter just saw that His Highness was a little tired, so it's time to rest."
"You can't control it. Let me ask you, who is the child in your belly? What did he give you to let you go with him...with him..." He Lianheng couldn't say those two words, so he could only snort coldly. With a sound, he turned away and looked at the clear blue lake on his right. He even felt that his cheeks were slightly hot.
Du Suxi didn't expect He Lianheng to ask this question. After being silent for a long time, I closed my eyes and thought that it was not a problem that I kept putting it off like this. There should be an explanation after all.
Opening his eyes, Du Suxi showed a wry smile and looked at He Lianheng. His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"Your Highness, the child's father is dead. So the child will not have a father."
"Are you serious?" He Lianheng turned around and looked at Du Suxi, but got an affirmative reply from Du Suxi.
He Lianheng stared at Du Suxi for a long time.
"I have a villa in the capital. The environment is not bad. I'll give it to you because I'm unlucky."
A smile appeared at the corner of Du Suxi's mouth. A gift of blessing. "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Let me make it clear first, I'm not here for you, I'm here for the baby in your belly. It's a sign of my good deeds!"
It was still the same careless voice, but it was clearly full of concern. Du Suxi smiled but still didn't expose it. I secretly made a decision in my heart.
"If Your Highness is determined to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the daughter of the people is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
As soon as these words came out, He Lianheng's careless expression suddenly dropped, he stared at Du Suxi in surprise, and asked sternly.
"Du Suxi, do you know what you are talking about!"
Du Suxi smiled slightly in return. "The civilian girl said that she is willing to help His Highness."
He Lianheng looked around and saw no one around him, then he stared at Du Suxi with burning eyes and his voice became even colder.
"Who told you that I would compete for the throne?"
Du Suxi smiled more and more beautifully.
"The Third Highness is not trying to fight at this time, but is being forced to do nothing."
"What's the meaning?"
"His Highness Seventh is very ambitious and everyone knows that he aspires for the throne. Even if His Highness has no intention of competing for the throne, His Highness secretly sent someone to poison His Highness. Although His Highness escaped by chance, the two sides have already torn their skins. The only way to fight for the throne is to fight to the death. A fight.”
After Du Suxi finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at He Lianheng's frown. Take a step forward. His tone softened.
"Does the Third Highness really naively think that if the Seventh Highness is lucky enough to sit on the throne, he will let the Third Highness go? Therefore, the Third Highness will not fight for this throne, but he must fight for it!"
"..." He Lianheng subconsciously took a step back and looked at the woman standing in front of him in surprise.
The woman in front of him, who had just grown hair, actually revealed his thoughts with one word.
The current situation is indeed like this. Even if we don't fight, we can only fight. Time has changed, and He Lian Kuang has regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He Lian Kuang must not be allowed to sit in that position!
Anyone can take this throne! Only Helian Kuang can't do it.
But, how could this woman in front of me know this? A trace of suspicion flashed in He Lianheng's eyes, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Suxi, and asked with a slight frown.
"How do you, a woman, know this?"
Du Suxi smiled. "I guessed it, but there is one thing you may not know. I am the boss behind Moshang Xiangfang."
Boom. Like a thunder. He Lianheng stared blankly at the confident girl in front of him.
Mo Shang Xiangfang was such a mysterious existence that even his people were unable to fully investigate the details of Mo Shang Xiangfang, and it was still standing despite the oppression of many powerful forces in the capital. This in itself proves the strength of Mo Shang Xiang Fang. No one in the world knows who is behind Mo Shang Xiang Fang. But the woman in front of me said that Mo Shang Xiangfang belonged to her.
He looked at He Lianheng's eyes in disbelief. Du Suxi smiled lightly and responded seriously.
"I didn't lie to you."
He Lianheng didn't speak, but just looked at Du Suxi blankly. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the woman in front of him all this time. He always thought that this woman was just a slightly strong and special person. A woman, unexpectedly, her vision, strategy, and logical analysis are not inferior to those of a passionate man!
Maybe she can really help him. It’s not just talk.
At this moment, He Lianheng's heart was moved.
