MTL - Let Me Pursue You-Chapter 85 085

Lu Shiqing glanced at her pinched finger bones, not understanding where her nervousness came from, so she frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Cixian choked up.

Originally, she didn't want to disturb Shaohe anymore, and she also thought about not mentioning the secret between the two of them. After all, there are too many people in this world who want to know the future. If Shaohe's resurrection is caught by interested people, it will easily bring disaster to her.

But the current situation is that Hoshii may have already guessed Shaohe's secret and is planning to use her. If Yuan Cixian continued to remain silent, and even Lu Shiqing concealed it, there was no guarantee that it would not lead to even bigger mistakes.

As far as the present is concerned, Shaohe does not seem to be so easily persuaded by Xiju, but she has indeed endured too much, and since then the mountains and rivers are far away, and the variables are even more unpredictable.

People's hearts are complicated and easy to change, she dare not bet.

She stared fixedly at Lu Shiqing, and after a long silence, she asked, "Have you ever thought that Shaohe might be a little different from us?"

Lu Shiqing blinked lightly, motioning for her to continue.

"Last winter, as if she had expected it, she sent a secret letter reminding you to be careful when going north; this year, on the first day of the first lunar month, I asked her for the jade ring, and she was waiting for me at the mansion as if she knew it in advance." " She thought about it for a while, and tried to explain it in a way that most people can accept, "You also said that she has no chance to get in touch with those court secrets. If so, isn't she too predictable?"

Lu Shiqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yuan Cixian knew that he might have listened to it, and after he thought about it for a while, he continued: "If it is said that she knew the future, all these things can be explained."

Lu Shiqing looked at her sideways and saw that she was serious and she had no intention of joking, so he shook his head silently and said, "If she had known earlier that Prince Nanzhao wanted to ask the saint to marry her, it would be impossible to avoid it."

"Because the future has changed." Yuan Cixian said firmly, "Maybe the future she knows is only the future that once existed."

Lu Shiqing twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she still disagreed: "You mean to say that she experienced a life and lived a new life, and now, the world has become different from the life she experienced. If so, who is it?" Changed this life? If she was the only one who knew, why didn't the world develop in a direction that was beneficial to her, and instead made her embark on the road of marriage? And you..." He paused, "Why are you so strange to me? And the inconceivable thing is so certain?"

Lu Shiqing was so smart, he asked three times in succession almost hit the nail on the head, and Yuan Cixian froze in place when asked.

He just kept his expressionless face, staring at her for a moment, as if he wanted to see through her.

She opened her mouth, and Kankan choked the answer back into her throat under his sharp eyes.

Yuan Cixian swallowed, lowered her eyes to reconstitute some emotions, raised her head and was about to muster up the courage to confide the dream to him, but seeing that his expression had returned to normal, he bent his lips and smiled and said: "You can't be the one who changes the world, can you?" .If you know the future as well as she does, you can still be cheated by me for a year?"

Yuan Cixian was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I am different from her, but I am also..."

"Okay." Lu Shiqing interrupted her, "I know about Shaohe. I will find a way to pay attention to Nanzhao. Go to sleep."

After he finished speaking, he quickly packed up the case file, even for some reason, he extinguished all the lights and candles in the house, went back to the bed and lay down quietly in the darkness, without saying anything.

Yuan Cixian's heart suddenly beat very fast.

She intuitively felt that he seemed to have guessed something, so he deliberately didn't give her a chance to speak. He didn't want to hear her say that her initial approach to him was just to use him to change the future she knew.

Lu Shiqing, he... such a sober and self-sufficient person, what kind of feelings do he have to make him choose the way of deceiving himself and others?

He lay flat beside her, a foot away from her, neither hugging her nor holding her hand.

A bed is as far away as the world.

Yuan Cixian suddenly felt oppressed and uncomfortable in his heart, as if blocked by a huge boulder of thousands of catties, and it became difficult to breathe.

After being so depressed for a while, she finally couldn't help it and leaned against him. Seeing that he didn't respond as if he was asleep, she reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "Lu Shiqing, I can't sleep, you hug me..."

Lu Shiqing still didn't move.

She waited and waited, afraid that he would be disgusted by her approaching with ulterior motives, and she didn't dare to bother him anymore. Sighing, an arm wrapped around her.

Lu Shiqing hugged her tightly from behind, and said softly against her face: "Hold it well, go to sleep."

Yuan Cixian had a sore nose, turned over to face him, reached out and hugged his waist, nodded and said: "You can sleep too."

There was no more sound around, Yuan Cixian was in a daze, thinking about Lu Shiqing all the time, afraid that he would keep silent and struggling secretly alone, and also afraid that he would question her and make her feel helpless.

Thinking like this, it was the middle of the night in a blink of an eye, Yuan Cixian was finally tired and sleepy, and fell asleep hazily, but this sleep was not peaceful, even Lu Shiqing was in the dream.

She went back to Sukihashi again. It seemed to be raining lightly, and the raindrops made slight noises as they fell on the surface of the Lushui River. She heard faint and mournful cries from the bridge in the dark and damp bluestone slabs, as if a procession was slowly approaching the Lu bridge.

There were not many people in this group, and it took a short time to walk from one end of the bridge to the other, and there were only a few people weeping softly from the beginning to the end.

Yuan Cixian seemed to know what these movements meant, and was so anxious that she almost broke free from the shackles and ran out.

But she was still trapped in the stone, and when they had gone far away, the surroundings became quiet, and she heard an old man passing by sighed, and said with emotion: "I was originally a rich and powerful person, and if I say no, it will be gone, and I won't enjoy it." A few days of blessing, do evil, do evil."

Another old man replied to him: "I'm afraid I was killed by the wronged soul."

A young man was also commenting: "Where did the wronged soul come from! So many people died that day during the palace change, it is not impossible for any family member to have the courage to seek revenge."

"But how did I hear that this Lu Zhongshu died of illness? It is said that he was stabbed in the chest a few years ago, and then the root cause of the disease fell."

"Never mind him, it's always a murder! Madam Lu is pitiful, not to mention the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, this Lu family doesn't even have a queen!"

Yuan Cixian became more and more anxious as she listened, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, but suddenly she heard someone calling her name, the sound seemed to pull her out of the abyss.

"Ci Xian."

When she opened her eyes suddenly, she saw bright lights all around, it was probably already early in the morning. Lu Shiqing was fully dressed and sat on the edge of the bed, frowning and staring at her.

Her head was covered with sweat, her temple hair was wet, there were still wet tears on her face, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing her wake up, he seemed relieved, stretched out his hand to touch her cold forehead, and asked, "What's wrong?"

As if she had just come back to her senses, she grabbed the hand he extended, climbed up from him, and slammed into his arms very fiercely, but she didn't say a word after the collision.

Lu Shiqing was slightly stunned, hugged her back, looked down at the top of her head, and asked again: "What did you dream about?"

Yuan Cixian was choked by the question and kept shaking her head.

Lu Shiqing didn't ask any more questions, just hugged her without saying a word, stroked her shoulder with his thumb, and waited for her to calm down before saying: "It's time, get up and wash up, and have some breakfast. "

Yuan Cixian didn't seem to hear it, she kept thinking about what she heard in her dream, and suddenly raised her head and asked him anxiously: "Did the doctor really say it's all right after I showed you the last time?"

Her voice was hoarse, mixed with a little nasal.

Lu Shiqing didn't know what this sudden question meant, so he guessed after a while: "You mean my knife wound?"

She nodded anxiously. The last time she learned the truth, she had carefully inspected his wounds, and then forced him to invite the doctor who treated his wounds last time for another examination. The doctor said that he was recovering very well and that the root cause of the disease was not lost, so she was relieved.

Lu Shiqing frowned: "It's really all right." He couldn't help it now, and asked her, "What did you dream about?"

Yuan Cixian didn't know how to speak.

How could she tell him that she dreamed that he was dead, and there were only a few people who went to the funeral after his death, and he was ridiculed by the people like this. How could she tell him that the white-haired people of the Xuan clan sent black-haired people, and in the end they didn't even hold a grandson.

She gritted her teeth tightly, still shook her head, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Come and see another doctor?"

Lu Shiqing really couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but he quickly restrained his expression. After a long silence, he sighed and stroked the tears on her face: "Tell me everything you know. What you wanted to say last night but didn't succeed, tell me now." I."

Originally, the timing was right last night, and Yuan Cixian mustered up the courage to say it, but now she was disturbed by this new dream, her head seemed to be wrapped in a ball of twine, and she really couldn't figure it out for a while.

She frowned, pressed her slightly swollen temples, and said, "Let me think about where to start."

Seeing her exhaustion, Lu Shiqing couldn't bear to ask her to think about the pain again, and said, "I'll just ask you and answer."

She said "hmm".

"I thought about it for a long time last night. I thought, maybe what you said is true. Like Shaohe, you know some things that ordinary people don't know. For example, when you brought down the Jiang family last time, you could say 'Lingnan' This key message is not obtained by accidental listening to the corner, but another mystery. There was another time earlier, you told me that you had a dream, dreaming that you died a miserable death. In the dream, the Bodhisattva told you, There is a gentleman in Chang'an City, if we can find him as a backer, this dream will not become a **** reality. These are not empty words."

Yuan Cixian bit her lip, nodded after hesitating for a while, and said with downcast eyes: "It's not just me, but the entire Yuan family died tragically."

She transformed herself into a stone, and told him little by little what the people had heard. From the rebellion of the father and brother, to the tragic death of the Yuan family, to the redress of the case many years later.

After hearing this, Lu Shiqing slightly tightened the hand resting on her waist, and asked her: "Who helped the Yuan family rebel? What have I been doing all these years?"

Yuan Cixian shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then how do you know that the gentleman is me, should you ask me to be your backer?"

She then explained how he initiated the palace coup to force the sage to abdicate and assist the thirteenth prince to ascend the throne.

Lu Shiqing's face changed slightly when he heard the words, he was silent for a while, and asked as calmly as possible: "Is this what you said once, dreaming that I became a high-ranking official?"

Yuan Cixian didn't expect him to remember her joking words so clearly, nodded and said: "They call you Lu Zhongshu, then you must be Zhongshuling. Once a prime minister, you are also the emperor's teacher."

Lu Shiqing frowned: "Where is the Sixth Highness? Your hostility towards him is because he failed to ascend the throne in the end?"

She shook her head. When describing the case of the Yuan family just now, she didn't mention Zheng Zhuo's matter. She was afraid that Lu Shiqing would find it hard to accept it for a while, and wanted him to slow down and bring it up at the end, but now she had to answer: "It's because someone said that I She used to be the fiancée of His Highness the Sixth Highness, but later, both my father and elder brother died under his sword."

Lu Shiqing really choked up and recovered after a while, but he didn't come to a conclusion immediately, and continued to ask: "After the Thirteenth Highness ascended the throne, is there any information about his whereabouts?"

Yuan Cixian frowned: "The information is too vague. I can only vaguely judge that he died after me and before His Highness the Thirteenth Prince ascended the throne. Someone said..." She was a bit embarrassed to speak, and paused.

Lu Shiqing seemed to have guessed it: "They said, I killed it?"

She nodded: "That's roughly what it means. They said that in those years you brought down several princes in the court. Maybe the sudden death of the sixth prince was also related to you."

After she finished speaking, she frowned, fearing that this matter would really hit people's hearts, she added: "But everything I dreamed was what I heard, and most of them were just casual remarks by ordinary people with no political sense, so big things can happen." Believe it, but the details may not be true.”

"I know." Lu Shiqing frowned and said, "I will make a judgment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door from outside. It was Cao secretly saying that Cai He's affairs had progressed and he wanted to report to him.

He was silent, let go of Yuan Cixian and said: "I'll go out first, you get up and eat something."

According to Yuan Cixian's temperament, he naturally told him to go quickly, but now he was a little shy after waking up from a nightmare, and he tugged on his sleeve and refused to let go.

Lu Shiqing looked down and said helplessly, "Don't worry, your backer won't fall for the time being."

She felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this, and hung her two snow-white arms around his neck: "It's not for a while, and it won't fall in the future."

Lu Shiqing nodded: "I won't fall in the future."

She said "um", stared at him for a while, and said seriously, "Lu Shiqing, if you give me a chance to go back to a year ago now, I swear that I will treat you sincerely from the beginning, but I may not be that good Fate is coming again, so from now on, I will also be your backer, so will you feel more at ease?"

Lu Shiqing sneered. He was already quite comfortable. There are so many powerful people in the whole capital, she chooses to use him, this is his ability, he is happy.

But he didn't really want to give up this chance of being repaid by her, so he said: "I don't need a backer, let's change it."

"Then what do you want?"

He looked down at her and smiled.

He wants, lots and lots of hills.
