Chapter 181 Seeds of Hatred
Qihe City
“Master, where are you going?”
Chunsheng followed Nangong Yu, and she changed into another The woman is dressed in simple attire, her hair is wrapped in a plain scarf, and her beautiful appearance is even more poignant and lovely due to her sadness and worry.
But she didn't get much attention from people. Instead, it was the man walking in front of her. Along the way, both men and women frequently looked back.
Nangong Yu was wearing thin clothes at this time, with a thin waist. Others were wearing thick cotton clothes, but he dressed up his poverty in a delicate and pitiful way, like a delicate orchid, with a trace of sadness in his understatement.
"...She said, they are here in Qihe City, I must find them..."
Listen to him muttering to himself like a demon.
"Master, it's all fake. Don't believe her. Everything she said is a lie to you."
Chunsheng grabbed his arm and wanted to pull the confused He woke up and stopped being led by Xu Shanshan.
But Nangong Yu waved her away coldly and arrogantly, and continued to search with a numb face. At this time, many people gathered in front of her, everyone was whispering to each other, and everyone started talking as if they were looking at each other.
"What's going on? Isn't that a city soldier?"
"Yes, I heard that our city commander is going to Beijing to report on his duties, and this time he specially brought Miss Yuhe with him. . ”
“Miss Yuhe? She is a lucky star from heaven. Everything has gone smoothly since the city lord recognized her as his adopted daughter. I heard that she spent half a year embroidering a picture of thousands of blessings for His Majesty. Praying for meritorious service, the Empress Dowager specially invited her to Beijing to reward her.”
“Miss Yuhe is so beautiful. At first glance, she seems to be a kind-hearted and blessed person. No wonder she has been blessed all the way, and now she has entered the Taipei Palace. The empress dowager’s favor will be extremely valuable in the future.”
"I heard from others that people who are close to her will get some good luck. Let's get closer."
The crowd's faces were full of curiosity and excitement, and some people stood on tiptoes and tried to stretch. The neck, and even worse, kept surging forward, blocking the surrounding area with water.
The guards who maintained order immediately stepped forward to drive away the flow of people, and shouted sternly: "Step back, if you don't step back, we will be rude."
"Ahem...Okay, Don't scare people, they are just people joining in the fun."
A man in green clothes with a face covering his face called the guards to stop. He spoke weakly and calmly. He must be in poor health, but the guards did not. She obeyed his words very much and put away her ferocious face.
Nangong Yu originally wanted to go around and not join in the fun that had nothing to do with him, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man covering his mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughing, his eyes slightly dazed.
On the street, a carriage made of fine walnut wood stopped. People around him cast envious glances. The silk curtains were slowly lifted, and half of the hibiscus face was revealed.
Slender eyebrows and apricot eyes, with a well-placed black mole at the end of the eyebrow, just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, she looks smart and delicate.
"Don't make trouble, delaying the journey to Beijing."
The gentle instructions made the guards and the man in green stand ready at the same time, and respectfully responded "yes".
Perhaps because of his own induction, Nangong Yu couldn't help but look over when he heard this soft-spoken female voice.
At first glance, he thought the face looked familiar, but after he took a closer look, he felt horrified, as if he had seen something unbelievably terrifying, and his whole body could not help but shiver with chills. .
His abnormal look even shocked Chunsheng.
"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"
He clenched his silver teeth, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth without even realizing it. His eyes were so depressed and heavy. , seeming to be suffering some unspeakable pain.
Chun Sheng's anxious call attracted many people's attention. The woman in the carriage also heard the movement. She glanced here, her eyes were like autumn water, noble and indifferent... But when she saw Nangong Yu and others, There was no strange look on their faces, they just thought they were strangers, and then they removed their hands indifferently and lowered the car curtain.
...She doesn’t recognize him?
"Yao Mei——"
He pushed Chunsheng away and rushed towards the carriage with all his strength. His throat was choked and tight, and he could hardly scream.
"...It's me, it's me..."
Seeing someone making trouble, the guard kicked him to the ground. Chunsheng's eyes widened, he screamed and rushed towards him, begging: "Don't hit me. Stop fighting, he can't bear it..."
"Stop it quickly."
It was the coughing man in green again. He came over quickly and stopped the guards. Rough enforcement.
However, when he saw Nangong Yu's face clearly, his expression changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of complexity and tension.
"Crashed into the marching team of the city order, tied them both up, gagged them, kept them for a few days and then released them."
"Yes."
Nangong Yu's eyes were locked firmly On the carriage, his eyes were red and he struggled to break away: "Let me go, that's my sister, I want to find her, I want to ask her..."
"Shut up!" Qing Yi The man grabbed his lapel, leaned into his ear and warned solemnly: "If you don't want to die, you'd better disappear from view!"
After saying these words, the man in green yelled Nangong Yu and Chun Sheng were gagged and taken away by force.
Nangong Yu sat in the cell blankly, thinking about the past, his parents, second brother, eldest brother, youngest sister, and himself... what a happy and warm family they once were.
But in the end, everything ceased to exist. His family was destroyed and everyone went through many hardships. But does all this really have anything to do with Yaomei?
If everything was God's will, an accident, or a natural disaster, he could still force himself to accept his fate, but what if it wasn't?
He saw with his own eyes today that Yaomei, who he thought had died with her parents, was still alive.
But she has changed. The black spot birthmark on her face is gone, and her eyes have returned to normal. Not only that, she is now the adopted daughter of the city lord, and her status is extremely noble.
If it weren't for the dark mole on her eyebrow, if it weren't for the fact that he had often missed his family over the years, and if it weren't for her appearance that was 60% or 70% similar to his own, he might not have dared to recognize her.
He didn’t understand, how did she escape back then? How did she get rid of the dark spot on her face and heal her eyes...
"You have seen it, right?"
In the cell, a sudden voice called out to Nangong Yu rang in his ears, and he turned his head in horror, only to see a paper man standing on his shoulder at some point.
It staggers, as if it is unsteady. It has no mouth, but it can convey words.
The voice of the paper man was not unfamiliar to Nangong Yu. He said in shock: "Xu, Xu Shanshan?!" No, don’t you still believe what I said?”
Nangong Yu was silent for a moment, his desire to die rekindled at this moment, and his dull eyes took on a vivid color.
"...can you help me? As long as you are willing to help me, so that I can stand upright in front of her and question her personally about the truth of what happened back then, no matter what you want me to do, I will agree You."
"Of course, come to Beijing, I will wait for you here."
The paper man ignited without fire and turned into a handful of ashes, floating outside the prison. Then the cell door was opened, and someone outside shouted: "Nangong Yu, Chunsheng, come out."
