“It’s not me!”
He almost shouted out these words, "No, it wasn't me! I didn't kill you, no! I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't!"
Xu Yixing looked at Lu Anyuan who suddenly went crazy and was a little at a loss.
Just after Ah Da left, Lu Anyuan's complexion became worse and worse, his breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes were dull, and no one knew where he was looking.
"What do you mean it's not you? What's wrong with you?" This Lu Anyuan must have some hidden illness... This is too scary.
Lu Anyuan suddenly came back to his senses, and the illusion in front of him disappeared, just in time he saw Xu Yixing's puzzled expression.
It’s me!
Lu Anyuan grabbed her wrist and said, "Help! This feeling is too uncomfortable. For so many years, I have never been able to get rid of this fear. Today, today I must say it out!"
"I have something to tell you! Actually, we... the first time we met, I..." I almost got you killed.
Unfortunately, the rest of the words were not spoken as he was interrupted.
"Can you save me first..." This is Mr. Yao speaking on the bed.
The door was behind his head, so he couldn't see it. In fact, when he heard the three people arguing, he was already thinking of finding a way out.
Who knows why there was no sound in the room after hearing it?
No, it wasn't silence; he could hear the Seventh Prince breathing. This breathing sound was all too familiar, a change that would only occur in a certain situation that any man was very familiar with.
Then he heard the "confession" of the Seventh Prince. If he guessed correctly, he would say, "I fell in love with you the first time we met." Is that right? The Seventh Prince has not been close to women for many years because of Second Miss Xu?
Even if it is, what are you going to do here with me?
He didn't dare to let things go on like this. What if the Seventh Prince couldn't help himself? Now that he was a cripple, would he have to give up his two beds to him?
Interrupted by this voice, Lu Anyuan regained consciousness. He saw that he had used too much force with his hands and seemed to have hurt Yixing.
"Sorry." He let go of Xu Yixing's wrist, took two deep breaths, and opened the door.
"I'm sorry, you can leave if you want. I lost my composure today, and I will send someone to your house tomorrow to apologize."
"Well, that sounds like human language."
Xu Yixing didn't leave, but retreated to the bedside, looking at Mr. Yao, whose face was flushed for some reason. It wasn't a hot day, so why did he look like a cooked shrimp?
"One for one. I don't have time to waste on you. If you take the antidote, I'll give it to you. If not, you'll lie here for the rest of your life."
Mr. Yao had already backed out in his heart. If he hadn't considered the Seventh Prince's face, when Miss Xu first came in, he would have kowtowed to her and called her his reborn father and mother.
Being a paraplegic is so painful! This is the only feeling he has after being bedridden for almost a month.
"It's in a secret compartment under that table. The liquid in the aqua-blue narrow-necked bottle is there."
Xu Yi walked over to where he had just sat, flipped up the floor tiles, and sure enough, he saw the bottle. This guy was just like Ying Si, liking all kinds of bags and bottles. The bottom was completely filled with them.
"How do I use it?"
"Add a bowl of water, boil it, and drink it while it's hot. Remember not to drink it cold."
"Oh. This is a pill. Take it once in the morning and once at night. You will be completely cured in three days." Xu Yixing placed the medicine bottle on Mr. Yao's bedside. This time he was really leaving.
When passing by Lu Anyuan, Xu Yixing suddenly stopped.
"Mr. Yao, is there a medicine that can erase a person's memory for a fixed period of time?"
Lu Anyuan's heart suddenly tensed up. How come Yixing already knew what he was planning for that day? Was he trying to trick him?
"What you are talking about is a magical method, which cannot be achieved by the power of medicine."
"Oh, then just pretend I didn't ask."
A-da was chatting with Siqin next to the carriage, wanting to know more about her young lady's situation, also for future preparations.
Who would have thought that Siqin, this kid, looked smart, but she would be confused and couldn't explain clearly no matter what you asked her. It really made Ada so angry!
"Don't you even know what your young lady likes to eat?"
"Food, didn't I tell you?"
"you!"
"What are you talking about? Ah Da, let me tell you, our Siqin hasn't been promised to anyone yet. There are a lot of young men pursuing her. Remember to line up."
Seeing Xu Yixing coming, Ah Da fled in a hurry. Help! This master is too difficult to serve! I hope that His Highness will let me work in the outer courtyard in the future. As for the inner courtyard, Your Highness, you just have to endure it!
After getting in the car, Xu Yixing instructed to go to Jingxi Temple again.
"ah?"
"I forgot something in the underground palace."
"Oh...Miss, Ah Da just came to ask about your preferences."
"What did you say?"
"The slave said nothing!"
"Well done, Siqin. When you get married, I'll double your dowry."
"What...Miss is so mean!" Siqin turned away shyly. Xu Yixing didn't want to talk anymore and began to close his eyes to rest.
Lu Anyuan's behavior just now was really strange. She thought he was going to confess his feelings to her, but the tone, the expression, the situation, everything was wrong.
Especially the words "it's not him" he said. What's not him? How could it be not him? What happened that made him have to tell me just now?
If Mr. Yao hadn't interrupted, Xu Yixing would have heard his last sentence. So Mr. Yao was also suspicious. The timing was too coincidental. He must know something.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Yixing really felt that there were too many strange things about Mr. Yao. Why would someone who could resurrect the dead with a single blow, and certainly kill people in return, have to hide in the Seventh Prince's mansion for decades, at his disposal?
Ying Si said he had heard of him. If it was really him hiding in the Seventh Prince's Mansion for so many years, how could anyone have heard of him? It was so strange.
Could it be that... Xu Yixing's speculation was irretrievably dragged into the royal family dispute. Could it be that Lu Anyuan was not controlling Mr. Yao, but was being controlled by him?
He had been lurking around for years, giving him drugs, slow-acting drugs, forcing Lu Anyuan to rely on him? Who was it, the emperor's order, or one of the six princes, or one of the many concubines?
So what Mr. Yao said is unreliable. If he said there is no medicine, then there is probably one. I will ask Ying Si later.
What did Lu Anyuan want to tell himself just now?
He said they first met in the upper study, where they spilled sugarcane juice, which is poisonous, so he was trying to say he had been poisoned too! Oh my god!
Xu Yixing felt that he had figured everything out. Only in this way could he explain why Lu Anyuan repeatedly emphasized and asked about the scene of their first meeting. He had been asking for help from him early on!
Oh! Damn it! Why can't I remember clearly? If I had memories, I would have understood what Lu Anyuan meant long ago!
