wake up from dream

When Ziqing entered the yard, she saw a rocking chair on the porch, a stone table on the left side of the yard, and several stone benches around the stone table.This courtyard should have been newly built, and it looks very new. Even the color on the wall is still bright - vermilion.It is the same color as the walls of the palace.However, with the change of dynasties, the walls of the imperial palace no longer look brand new.

Entering the house, the furnishings in the house are very exquisite. Needless to say, such a room arrangement must be affordable by rich people. It seems that Chen Xue's so-called "grandfather" status is really not simple, and should not be underestimated!Judging from their words, they are probably an organization similar to the "Tiandihui".That strange old man should be the boss of this place!

Ziqing sat down, poured a glass of water and drank it, it seemed that the old man would not kill her for the time being, so don't worry too much about her life now.but.What on earth was he going to do with himself?Asking myself, to these people, it should not be of any value...Zi Qing drank water.I thought to myself.

"Sister..." At this moment, Chen Xue entered the room.When Zijing saw Chen Xue, she immediately greeted her, and slammed her mouth fifty times down, it was really not a joke.Chen Xue's face was swollen a lot.Chen Xue's face was almost swollen with redness, and there was a little blood at the corner of her mouth, but it could be seen that these wounds had already been treated with medicine.It's just that they still look terrible.How could a grandfather have the heart to do such a cruel thing to his granddaughter?Zi Qing couldn't help sighing.

"Chen Xue, you..." Zi Qing pulled Chen Xue over and sat down.

"Sister, don't worry, it's just a skin injury, it's not a problem." Chen Xue said, probably because of the pain on her face, Chen Xue didn't speak very clearly.

"Why don't you worry? Look at you. Your face is swollen all around. Your grandfather is really good at it?" Ziqing said indignantly.

"Sister, these things are already commonplace for me and Luo, and such slaps are considered light."

"Chen Xue, can you tell me who you are? Why do you have such a terrifying grandfather? Also, the one named Luo, he is your elder brother?" Zi Qing saw that the relationship between Chen Xue and Luo was not close. , at least not like ordinary brothers and sisters who take care of each other and ask each other how they are.

"He? It's my brother, but he's actually my father's adopted son." Chen Xue said, and Ziqing remembered that when she asked them if the old man was their real grandfather in Ruoqingju, that Luo said a word He walked out without saying anything. It turned out that he was not his own.

"What about you? You are a girl, why did your grandfather treat you like this?" Zi Qing was puzzled. At Chen Xue's age, shouldn't it be the age that her family loves the most?

"This is probably the tragedy of our family. Ever since the family hated the country, the family has ceased to be a family. When I was very young, I could see my life after I grew up from my parents. My father, my mother, they all lived because of this hatred, and then they hated because of this hatred..."

"Family hatred and national hatred? If I'm not mistaken, is your family Fang a descendant of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Sister, you guessed it right." Chen Xue admitted generously, without any scruples.

"Then Chen Xue, why did you go to the palace?"

"Sister, there is one thing. I lied to you. In fact, I will be called Fat Ya because I replaced a palace lady named Fat Ya in the palace..."

"What?" Zi Qing was startled, Chen Xue changed her name to Fat Ya, so she wasn't forced!Ziqing suppressed her excitement, and said: "Then Chen Xue, why do you dare to tell me your real name? You are not afraid that if I find out, you will..."

"Sister, I believe you won't. In fact...you are Xia Ziqing, right?" This news is even more explosive. It turns out that Chen Xue already knew who she was.

"You... how could you..." Zi Qing couldn't figure out when Chen Xue recognized her.

"My grandfather has taught me and Luo many things since I was sensible. Disguise is just one of them, and dismantling disguise is also within the scope of learning." Chen Xue looked at Ziqing and said .

"Then what else can you do?" Ziqing thought, since that weird old man is so weird, even so cruel to his granddaughter, it must be that Chen Xue has learned a lot, so that he can be ranked in the future use.

"Sister, I have killed people..." Chen Xue was a little hesitant when she said this, probably because she was afraid that Ziqing would look at herself in a different way when she heard these words?

"Kill...killed someone?" Chen Xue's words after entering the room were more and more shocking.Ziqing heard this sentence.Involuntarily opened his eyes wide.

"When I was ten years old, my grandfather gave me a mission. He asked me to choose a person from the death row and kill him with my own hands. I didn't dare at the time, and was beaten half to death by my grandfather. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore. I found An old man, he was old and sick, with my martial arts skills, in fact, his life could be killed with a single knife, but it took me half an hour to kill him... I remember, he fell At that time, I only felt dizzy for a while, and then passed out, and when I woke up, two days and two nights had passed..."

Chen Xue recalled her cruel childhood, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Chen Xue, I didn't expect you to have such a..." Zijing wanted to talk about her tragic childhood, but it seemed that it was not enough to describe the terrible experience of a ten-year-old child being forced to kill, but she couldn't find other words for a while to describe.

"Sister, I regard you as my own sister. I have no brothers or sisters, except Luo, but... Luo, in my heart, he is not just as simple as a brother..."

"You like Luo?" Zi Qing guessed when she saw Chen Xue's helpless and sad eyes.

"Well, but... Luo doesn't like me, he really... no, he doesn't regard me as his sister, maybe, in his heart, a killer doesn't need any affection, he is only loyal to rent Father, so grandfather is the strictest and the best to Luo , don't like me..."

"Chen Xue, that Luo, I don't think he looks like a piece of wood, maybe, you can talk to him, maybe there will be some other progress?" It's not without reason that Zi Qing would encourage Chen Xue like this, Because she had already talked with Luo in the carriage, she dare not say that she knew Luo well, but at least she could feel his nature...

"He...he never talks to me, so..." Chen Xue smiled awkwardly, then shook her head.

"You didn't try to impress him, how did you know?" Zi Qing encouraged Chen Xue again.

"Sister, I see, I will give it a try." Chen Xue finally had no choice but to nod.

"Well, I've tried it, and even if it doesn't work, I'm doing myself a favor. If I don't try, I'll never have a chance."

"Sister, do you have any plans for the future?" Chen Xue remembered that she came here this time to talk to Zi Qing about the future.

"Plan? Chen Xue, do you think I have the right to make my own plans? Based on what you know about your grandfather, will your grandfather let me go?"

"Grandfather has always only done valuable business, so I guess sister, you should be beneficial to grandfather... I don't know how grandfather wants to deal with you, but you probably won't be in any danger now " Chen Xue said.

"Your elder brother Luo also said the same, but I can't stay here forever, can I? Chen Xue, see if you can help me find a way to escape." Zi Qing knew that Chen Xue was very afraid of her Ren's father, but I am completely unfamiliar with this place, so I must need Chen Xue's help, otherwise I can only be "meat on an anvil"...

"Sister, don't worry, grandfather will not stop you for a while, we still have time to think of a way, but our guards here are not simple, so don't act rashly, we will discuss it after I think of a way."

"Well, good." Ziqing nodded, "Chenxue, when you help me, you must protect yourself first. I heard you talk about your grandfather. I think if you let him know that you helped me escape, he will definitely be serious. I'll punish you." When Zi Qing thought of that strange old man, she couldn't help feeling a little creepy in her heart.

"Sister, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety, I think Grandfather... at most, he will be punished according to the rules."

"Regular punishment? What kind of punishment is that?"

"It's okay, sister, don't worry."

"Chen Xue, I think if it's serious, I'll find a way out by myself. You were fined fifty slaps for just saying a word today. If you help me..." Fifty words for one sentence, if you help yourself escape, It should be considered a betrayal, wouldn't it cost Chen Xue's life?

"I think, at least I'm his granddaughter, so he shouldn't do anything to me." Chen Xue tried hard to make it confident when she said this, but only Chen Xue knew that his grandfather never She doesn't care about family affection, which is why she doesn't look up to her grandfather, because Chen Xue has a cowardly temper since she was a child, and since she killed the old man at the age of ten, she has been having nightmares non-stop, so compared to Chen Xue This granddaughter, Xue, blames the old man for preferring the hard-hearted Luo...

"Chen Xue, I see, thank you, thank you for being willing to help me like this." Seeing Chen Xue's appearance, Zi Jing also understood that Chen Xue actually wanted to help her, but she had more than she could do.

"Sister, how do you say this? The things I told you in the palace were not all false. At that time, I was working under the guard and nuns, and I was always bullied. The emperor did tell you I said that if you become my master, then I can follow your words. When you woke up, you were not as arrogant as other people in the palace, ignoring us servants. Instead, you told me that you would help me At the time when I left my disciplining mother, I actually suspected that you were just talking, but when my sister became Sister Moyan, I realized that my sister has always taken my affairs to heart... Actually This time, maybe I got my sister involved, otherwise my sister wouldn't have come here..." Chen Xue blamed herself.

"Chenxue, I don't know why, but I always have a desire to protect you. Probably because you are really like a little sister who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world! When I heard what happened to you, I felt a little distressed. If you were my family member, I would not stand by and watch them suffer this kind of harm. At that time, I could not be your master, but I thought that I might be able to ask the emperor..."

"Well, sister, do you know that no one has ever treated me so well here. This is my home, but it is the place I desperately want to escape from. It's just that I... can't escape at all..."

Looking at the frustrated Chen Xue, Zi Qing could only hug her tightly, hoping to give her some courage to support her to go on.
