Xue Zhiyi didn't know how he walked out of the cell.
In the carriage, she looked at the blood stains on her palms. It was the blood flowing from Fu Ling's throat.
Her hands were still trembling slightly... At this moment, she didn't know what to feel.
Perhaps he felt hatred towards the Xue family, and also some regret, regretting that he could have avoided the suffering of his previous life and lived a peaceful life like an ordinary person, with the love of his parents.
But now, she doesn't even know who the person who is looking for her is.
Suddenly, a supra handkerchief fell into her hands.
She looked up in a daze and saw Huo Wuyou looking at her.
This time, he didn't ride a horse, but sat in the car with her, right next to her.
"Wipe it off," he said.
Xue Zhiyi still had a sob in his throat: "Thank you."
Holding his chin, Huo Wuyou said, "I'll help you find it."
"What?"
Looking at his pair of phoenix eyes that were always careless, which were now unusually serious, Xue Zhiyi didn't react for a moment.
"I will help you find your family."
For some reason, this person who is always unrestrained and unruly makes Xue Zhiyi feel a sense of security in his heart, as if a drifting duckweed has found a place to stay.
Huo Wuyou tapped her forehead lightly with his finger: "What are you staring at?"
The moment they touched, it was like raindrops falling from the eaves creating ripples on the calm water... Xue Zhiyi blinked and looked away.
"It's difficult. There are no clues at all now."
Huo Wuyou simply said, "Even a passing goose leaves traces behind. You are a human being. You will definitely leave traces behind when you walk through this world."
He opened the curtains and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window: "If we can't find it, we'll just look for it slowly. Anyway, I'll take care of things outside the palace, so you don't have to worry about anything."
It seemed that she had not yet recovered from the bitterness. Xue Zhiyi felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the soiled white handkerchief, not knowing what she was thinking. She folded it neatly, glanced at Huo Wuyou who was looking out the window at the moment, and put the handkerchief into her sleeve.
Suddenly, Huo Wuyou turned around, stared at Xue Zhiyi's eyes, which were red from crying, and said seriously: "Don't be too moved. If you want to thank me, then..."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly: "Just embroider the purse for me."
Xue Zhiyi was stunned: "What purse?"
Huo Wuyou crossed his arms and said, "I heard everything. You embroidered a purse for me, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi burst out laughing. It was obvious that she was trying to piss off Lan Ying.
But Huo Wuyou seemed to take it seriously. He asked again, "Is it okay?"
But thinking about how hard he had worked for me these days, and it was just a purse, it was not impossible for me to agree to his request.
After a moment of silence, she nodded softly.
Huo Wuyou actually saw that she was in a bad mood and wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect Xue Zhiyi to really agree. His auspicious eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, and his voice softened a little: "Really?"
It's just a purse, why are you so overjoyed?
Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Huo Wuyou really fell in love with her, it might not end well in the future.
She didn't answer him, just looked out the window and changed the subject abruptly: "What are you doing over there?"
Huo Wuyou looked in the direction she was looking and saw several children around seven or eight years old on the street. One of them was wearing a straw raincoat and holding a wooden sword. He was aggressively slashing at another child lying on the ground, imitating the tone of an actor and shouting, "Little thief Lu Yan, give me your life!"
The one lying on the ground covered his neck and twisted his body exaggeratedly: "Hero, spare my life!"
The children around clapped and cheered.
Huo Wuyou knew that she was just making small talk, so he didn't ask any further questions.
He explained, "The Lu Yan incident caused a huge uproar, and the people hated him to the core. Now that Lu Yan is dead, the Lu family has fallen. But in just a few days, many opera troupes have even rehearsed their performances, and the people have spread the news by word of mouth. The Lu family is now notorious."
Xue Zhiyi only sighed slowly: "The family can rest in peace now."
As she spoke, she looked up at Huo Wuyou and said, "It's still early, come with me to buy some clothes."
"Buying clothes?" Huo Wuyou was puzzled, but still accompanied her.
But unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi picked out a men's ready-made suit and tied his hair up.
She had round almond eyes and a face as white as porcelain. When she dressed as a woman, she looked pretty, but when she put on men's clothes, she looked like a handsome young man with a delicate face.
Huo Wuyou held his chin and looked at her with interest: "You know what, when you don't speak, it really looks like that."
But he still didn't understand Xue Zhiyi's intention: "Why did you suddenly think of dressing up as a man? What do you want to do?"
Xue Zhiyi took a few steps closer, making sure no one else could hear him, before lowering his voice and saying, "I promised you before that I would help you overthrow the Dali Temple Minister, and I don't want to break my promise."
Squinting his eyes, Huo Wuyou asked her, "What do you want me to do?"
Xue Zhiyi just smiled and said, "Accompany me to a place, and we'll find out then."
…
But when the carriage drove into Red Light Alley and stopped outside a brothel, Huo Wuyou was still stunned: "What are you doing here?"
In front of the brothel, several heavily made-up women were welcoming and seeing off customers in a charming manner, and on the plaque were written three big characters "Chunfenglou".
Coming here, Xue Zhiyi felt a little stuffy in his heart.
This place was her nightmare in her previous life.
She still remembered that when she was first sent here, she tried her best to escape and fight.
