"How did you get that scar on your shoulder?"
When he asked the question, Shu Muyun was shocked.
Everyone in Zhuangzi thought he was a lecher, and only allowed him to continue questioning him after he revealed his identity.
Shu Muyun, who was only eleven or twelve at the time, looked at herself timidly. "This scar was there when I was a child. I've forgotten why. I later had a serious illness and forgot everything when I woke up."
He asked many more details, and they all matched.
Apart from the jade pendant, he thought at the time that the little girl might be too young and had forgotten it.
Now it seems that they were all wrong, all wrong.
Did Qingyu also recognize him and fall in love with him?
But he hurt her again and again, and finally she jumped off the city wall in despair. Is that right?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Seeing that his complexion was getting worse and worse, and the sweat on his forehead was getting more and more, the housekeeper was really afraid that he would die.
Recalling the past, Huo Qixiao's head hurt more and more, and the regret in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he spat out another mouthful of blood and then fainted.
The old butler was going crazy.
The King of Qi was clearly ordered to quell the rebellion, but now he has lost his princess and ended up in this state.
this……
It was a day later when Huo Qixiao woke up again. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shu Muyun standing by his side.
He subconsciously wanted to call Yun'er, but when he thought of the truth he knew before he fainted, his face suddenly darkened.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Shu Muyun looked at his expression and felt panic in her heart. She wanted to step forward and hold his hand, but Huo Qixiao avoided her.
She lowered her head, her face filled with sadness. "I know you're sad that the princess is gone, but, but there's nothing we can do about it... Prince, Yun'er didn't want to do that. Yun'er didn't expect the princess to jump off the tree herself. If I had known... Yun'er, Yun'er..."
She cried with tears in her eyes, her voice choked, sincere and sad.
Unfortunately, Huo Qixiao had just learned the truth, and at this time another voice appeared in his ears.
This voice also belonged to Shu Muyun, but it was sharper and more vicious than the one Shu Muyun said out loud.
What's wrong with Huo Qixiao? Didn't you dislike Tu Qingyu before? You can't regret it now that she's dead, right?
Isn't it too late to regret now? Back when Tu Qingyu loved you the most, you didn't treat her well, and I provoked you with just a few words. Now you regret it?
This won’t do.]
"Your Majesty, if it's possible, I would rather do it like I did when I was a child. Even if it means sacrificing myself, I will..."
"Didn't you say that you don't remember what happened back then?" Huo Qixiao spoke suddenly.
He probably understood that the voice might be Shu Muyun's inner voice.
So, the woman he had doted on for many years was so hypocritical?
"I, I had a fever yesterday, and I remembered a lot of things from the past..." she continued.
But I thought to myself, "Why does he look so strange? Why is he asking this all of a sudden? Could it be that he already knows I'm not the one who saved him?"
Huo Qixiao's pupils shrank slightly. Even though he had known the truth for a long time, he was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears.
A raging rage burned within him, yet he remained expressionless. He then asked, "Really? Then tell me, what happened then?"
[At that time? How else could it be? You've been repeating it in my ear so many times, even if I didn't know, I knew it all.]
"At that time, the prince was being chased and fell into the river..."
"Alright." Huo Qixiao interrupted him coldly, "Go out and kneel down."
"What?" Shu Muyun couldn't believe what she heard.
What's wrong with him? I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I kneel? Tu Qingyu is dead, and he regrets it, so he wants to humiliate me?
"Your Highness, did Yun'er do something wrong? Your Highness... Please tell Yun'er what she did wrong, and Yun'er will definitely change..."
Seeing her saying two different things in her heart and on the surface, Huo Qixiao wanted to kill her immediately.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have recognized the wrong person.
If she hadn't framed him repeatedly, Qingyu would not have given up on him, would not have jumped off the city wall, and would not have left him.
It's all this woman's fault.
But she couldn't die so easily. She had to live well and bear the consequences of deceiving him.
Shu Muyun continued to cry and refused to move.
She firmly believed that Huo Qixiao had spoiled her for so many years and he couldn't hate her just because of Tu Qingyu.
Unfortunately, the next moment, Huo Qixiao opened his mouth and said, "Come here, drag Shu Muyun out and make her kneel in the yard to reflect on her actions."
"Your Highness?" Shu Muyun widened her eyes.
The servants in the room were also confused. How come they were so affectionate just two days ago, but now it has become like this?
They didn't dare to move for a moment, but Huo Qixiao turned sideways and pinched Shu Muyun's chin.
"I will make you understand what the consequences of deceiving me are."
"W-what?" Shu Muyun was terrified. She felt that Huo Qixiao was very scary now. "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Why can't Yun'er understand?"
Did he know something? That's impossible! Tu Qingyu is dead, and she didn't tell him the truth before she died?
What went wrong? 】
Huo Qixiao curled his lips and said, "It's okay, you will understand."
He raised his eyes and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go now!"
When Shu Muyun was dragged out, she was still thinking, "It's okay. He must be in a bad mood because of Tu Qingyu's death. After all, she was my princess for so long."
