It really is a little fox! Chu Qiao snorted coldly in her heart, but knelt down in fear on her face, and hurriedly said: "Xing'er dare not lie."
"Really?" Zhuge Yue lowered his head and chuckled, "Then let's listen."
"On the fourth day of last month, Xing'er and a group of little slave girls in the mansion were taken to the hunting ground by the young master. In the end, only Xing'er came back alive. Xing'er was very scared when he came back. The good stuff is ready to flee."
"Escape?" Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where are you going to escape?"
The child said in a small voice: "I don't know, I just don't want to stay here and wait to die. The young master may think that Xing'er is rebellious, but a person can only live once, and Xing'er's life may be worthless in the eyes of others. But in Xing'er's own eyes, it is still very precious. But when Xing'er was about to escape, Song Nuyuan found out, and he beat me severely. He met me today, afraid that I would retaliate against him , so you want to kill me."
"Really? So that's the case, he is really daring." Zhuge Yue took a sip of tea, and said in a calm voice, "Then do you still remember that he beat you?"
Chu Qiao was taken aback, seeing Zhuge Yue's sharp eyes, like a spirit snake, she immediately lowered her head and said, "This happened not long ago, so Xing'er still remembers it."
"Your memory is not bad." Zhuge Yue nodded and said, "Then, do you remember that Jinsi and Jinzhu encouraged me to kill Linxi? Do you remember that Zhu Shun gave your family to others? ?Do you remember someone killed your sister?"
Chu Qiao was startled, but rationally she didn't raise her head, she knocked her head on the ground, wept aloud, and said, "Master, Xing'er remembers everything, but Xing'er also clearly knows her identity and her true nature." Points, and know how much ability you have.”
"You mean to say that when you have the ability one day, you will also take revenge, right?"
The child immediately raised his head and looked up in horror, "Fourth young master!"
"You don't have to deny it. When I first saw you, I knew that you were definitely not an ordinary child. There are many things hidden in your eyes, and I can see them."
With tears in his eyes, the child pursed his lips and said, "Young Master, what do you think Xing'er will do? Do you think Xing'er will kill someone? Or do you think that Jin Zhu and sister Jinsi were killed by Xing'er? Xing'er is young , even if there is hatred in my heart occasionally, I still know what to do and what not to do. The Jingmen family was wiped out, tens of thousands of people were scattered and died overnight, Xing'er has changed from a daughter of a thousand gold to a lowly servant. If there is hatred, Xing'er Should I hate the emperor of the Shengjin Palace, should I hate the elders who gave orders, should I hate the Huangtian Legion that copied Xing'er's home? Master, Xing'er doesn't have that much ability. I just want to live well, those things are too heavy, Xing'er can't bear them."
The child kowtowed on the ground, his small spine was straight, and his head was hanging firmly, but his thin shoulders were trembling uncontrollably, as if he was very frightened, and he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
Zhuge Yue's eyes sized up the child back and forth, his sharp eyes showed sharpness, and finally softened under the child's bitter sobbing. Zhuge Yue put down the teacup, leaned on the soft couch, and said slowly: "Get up."
The child pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were wide open, red and watery.
Zhuge Yue glanced at the child in front of him, saw that she was small, her face was pink, her little fists were tightly clenched, she wanted to cry but was holding back her fists, she looked extremely aggrieved, she couldn't help but sighed softly, secretly thinking that she had experienced too much intrigue , It really is a cup bow snake shadow, even such a small child is suspicious.
"Okay, I've wronged you, cry if you want to cry."
This was already an apology in disguise. With Zhuge Yue as a person, he had never been so polite to others, but the child still stubbornly stood where he was, with his mouth pursed and eyes wide open, refusing to shed a single tear.
Zhuge Yue became irritable for no reason, and waved his hands: "Go down, don't stand here and block your eyes."
Chu Qiao turned around angrily, and wanted to go back without saying a word.
"stop!"
Zhuge Yue called out in a cold voice, Chu Qiao obediently stood still, but she didn't turn her head.
Zhuge Yue took out a small celadon bottle from a side drawer, walked down slowly, reached out and grabbed Chu Qiao's shoulder, trying to turn her around. But he felt a stubborn slap in the fingers, Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, and saw the child strenuously straightening his body, but he didn't want to turn around.
After all, Zhuge Yue was much older than her, put his hands on the child's shoulders, and with a little force, he forcibly turned the child around.
A tear-stained little face appeared in front of Zhuge Yue's eyes with great aggrievedness. Chu Qiao's eyes were red, seeing him, the tears fell more and more fiercely.
"Okay, don't cry, I just said a few words to you." The boy frowned and said, "You made a mistake yourself, so you don't allow others to say it?"
"Where did I make a mistake? The young master asked me to learn how to ride a horse. I learned it well, and no one provoked me." The eight-year-old child finally lost his temper, and spoke back to his master confidently, sobbing while talking, Almost swallowed the snot into his mouth.
Zhuge Yue frowned slightly, took out the handkerchief in his bosom, and wiped the tears off the child's face with a very amateurish technique, while wiping, he said, "Is there any reason for you? You lost my horse, and today you died because of you." A good Moxi Xuelong colt, and you still say that you are right?"
"It's not... It's not that someone wants to ride a horse by himself. Besides, Shizi Yan... Shizi Yan has already sent back the lost horse, and I... listened." So he wet Zhuge Yue's handkerchief.
Zhuge Yue was just about to take another handkerchief, when suddenly he saw the child wipe his nose on the handkerchief with his hand.
Zhuge Yue was taken aback for a moment, staring at the dirty and sticky handkerchief dumbfounded, only to hear the child continue: "Even the horse today was killed by the young master himself."
"Hmph, you can be reasonable."
The child lowered his head and murmured unconvinced: "What I'm telling you is the truth."
The sun shone in from the corner of the window sills and sprinkled on the shoulders of the two of them. The child was still very young, and even if he stood up straight, he could only reach the boy's shoulders. His face was red like a big apple.
"Here you are." Zhuge Yue put the porcelain bottle in her hand and said, "Go back and clean it."
Sure enough, it was a child's heart, and the attention was immediately diverted. Zhuge Yue looked at the child holding the bottle with a faint smile, and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
"Medicine, for scratches."
The pony ran too fast before, and Chu Qiao's palms were scratched. The child pouted, nodded, and said, "Fourth Young Master, that Xing'er will go down first."
The young man sat back on the chair without raising his head. He waved his hand and said with a look of reluctance to see her, "Go down."
Just as Chu Qiao was about to open the door, Zhuge Yue suddenly called out: "Xing'er, when you see Prince Yan, try to stay as far away from him as possible."
Chu Qiao tilted her head and looked at him puzzled.
Zhuge Yue frowned irritably, and shouted, "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The child replied loudly, then turned and left, his small body crossed the high threshold and almost fell down.
This kid's courage is really getting bigger and bigger, the boy has a dark face, panting heavily secretly.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhu Cheng's worried face. Zhu Cheng hurried forward, seeing Xing'er's tear-stained face, he hurriedly asked, "What did you say, young master, are you angry?"
Chu Qiao glanced at him, nodded, and went back to her room.
Zhu Cheng tremblingly entered the room, seeing Zhuge Yue lowering his head, he didn't dare to make a sound, and stood cautiously beside him.
After a while, something suddenly flew towards his head. Zhu Cheng was shocked and didn't dare to hide. He secretly said that my life was over, but he felt that the thing was soft, and the hit head didn't hurt at all. Looking down, it turned out to be a dirty handkerchief with a small word Yue embroidered on it.
"Take it and throw it away."
Thinking of the tears on Chu Qiao's face, Zhu Cheng suddenly seemed to have realized something, he was slightly taken aback, and quickly nodded and bowed and said: "The servant obeys."
Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly heard Zhuge Yue shout: "Wait a minute." Zhu Cheng immediately turned around, bent over to wait for instructions, like a complete slave.
The boy's fair face turned red for some reason, and after thinking for a while, he still didn't speak.
Zhu Cheng raised his head cautiously, and saw that Zhuge Yue frowned, as if he was making an important decision, his expression was exactly the same as usual when encountering major events, and he immediately pricked up his ears seriously, waiting for his master's order. After a long time, I only heard a majestic voice from above, "It's better to take it down and wash it, then bring it back to me."
"Ah?" Zhu Cheng was stunned and shouted loudly.
Zhuge Yue was furious, "What? Can't you understand?"
"Understood, I understand, this servant will go now."
Chu Qiao walked on the corridor with a small body, lowered her head, and ignored the people who greeted her in the past, as if she had been scolded and wronged. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was closed, the look of anger just now disappeared on his face. With a calm face and sharp eyes, she slowly sat on the stool with her hands on her chest, poured a cup of tea, held it in her hand, but didn't drink it.
In any case, today's test has finally passed. No matter how much Zhuge Yue believes, there should be no danger for the time being.
The clothes on the back were completely soaked, and the cold wind blew and hit the front of the clothes, making it chilly. Chu Qiao took a sip of herbal tea, calmed her shortness of breath, then closed her eyes, and exhaled deeply.
In any case, things had to hurry up and she was out of time.
The cold wind is like a knife, and this winter is extremely cold.
In the dark sky, the bright stars shine on the sleeping earth. The winter has just arrived, and the snow is filling the air. The Zhenhuang Imperial Capital, which has just celebrated the Shangyuan Festival, has ushered in the first round of crisis after the joy.
Frost shrouded the entire Zhenhuang City, and the lights of carriages and horses between the Elder's Court and Shengjin Palace passed by like flowing water all night long. The Huangtian Department of the Western Expedition suffered the most severe trauma and injury in history. The smell of blood flowed down from the Lihua River on the Yanbei Plateau, spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, and reached the heart of the empire.
The provocation of the dog and other races angered the upper nobles of the empire, the authority of iron and blood was questioned and violated, and another war was secretly brewing in the deep breath. Before that, someone had to pay the bloody price for this failure, even if it was just to maintain the dignity of the empire.
The edict inlaid with gold was issued from the Shengjin Palace, passed through the Elder's Court's ruling, and then passed through Ziwei Square, Jiuwei Main Street, Chengtian Altar, and Qiankun Main Gate, all the way to the frontier.
On the quiet eve of the wind and rain, the people of Zhenhuang City were still sleeping peacefully.
