"My grandfather's family has a very high status in the Western Army. After guarding the border for many years, it is very important in the eyes of the people in the Western Region. Therefore, if something like this happens, the emperor will naturally send someone to investigate thoroughly, but what he didn't expect is... …”
Wu Zechen gritted his back molars, obviously trying to restrain his anger, and then continued: "What's funny is that the elite troops sent by the emperor only wiped out a few bandit nests nearby, and then claimed that they had wiped out all the bandit nests. The rebels withdrew their troops and returned to Beijing to hastily conclude the case."
"How could those third-rate bandits wipe out my entire family? Not to mention that they didn't have the courage or the strength to do so, but the emperor admitted the matter and refused to mention it again." Wu Zechen's eyes were as cold as ice. The sneers were not even warm at all, "The dignified deputy commander of the Western Army was actually broken into the house by a group of bandits and wiped out the whole family. How ironic!"
"Not long after the death of my mother and concubine, my father fell ill. Others only thought that my father was suffering from grief, but they didn't know that my father was actually poisoned!" Wu Zechen's eyes were filled with ice.
"Poisoned?!" Xia Luotong was shocked when she heard this. She never thought that Prince Xian'an died because of poisoning?
Wu Zechen nodded and immediately gave an affirmative reply: "Yes, the poison is very strange. Even the doctors in the capital didn't notice it. They just thought it was due to excessive grief and fell ill, and did not think about the poisoning."
But the person behind the scenes probably didn't expect that the poison would be discovered by someone in the end, it was Mr. Xu from Baihua Valley!
Mr. Xu happened to be in the capital at that time. After a diagnosis, although the fact of poisoning was confirmed, he was unable to detoxify Prince Lao An because Mr. Xu could not detoxify the poison.
In the end, Prince Lao An passed away. Before his death, he tried his best to send Wu Zechen to the western border, far away from the dangerous place of the capital.
"Before I left, my father told me not to return to the capital before I was still young." Wu Zechen's eyes were full of depression, "Until then, he didn't know that his good emperor brother had already changed. ”
The first time he heard such a secret about the past, Xia Luotong felt a little heavy, and then he asked: "Did any of that poison remain?"
"I stayed, but my father and mother have been dead for many years. Even if there is a panacea now, they will not be able to come back." Wu Zechen said softly.
Xia Luotong naturally knew this truth, but he still said: "Let me take a look later. Maybe there are some clues left."
Wu Zechen nodded, knowing that she wanted to help him, so naturally he would not refuse.
But at this moment, his mood inevitably became depressed because of recalling these past events. He turned his head and stared at the person beside him. The next moment, he couldn't help but hugged her into his arms and buried his head in her. On his neck, he gently sniffed the faint fragrance that made him feel at ease, and his heart felt strangely calm.
However, Xia Luotong felt a little stir in her heart at this time. She did not expect that Wu Zechen would choose to tell her what happened back then.
But Wu Zechen's move made her feel soft in her heart again, because since he was willing to tell herself these things, it meant that he had completely believed in herself, and it was no longer like he did at the beginning.
He is keeping his promise, letting her know the hidden things in his heart one by one, and treating each other sincerely, so that they can face the enemy together in the future.
Wu Zechen slowly raised his head and looked at the person close at hand. When he saw her looking back at him, his heart suddenly felt soft.
"Tong'er..."
He whispered softly, his tone as soft as a feather, gently falling on the lake of his heart, causing ripples in circles.
The eyes he looked at her were so intense and eager, like a ball of fire, wrapping her around and melting.
The two of them slowly approached, their eyes reflecting each other's face, until their breaths touched and they were inseparable.
But at the moment when their lips were about to touch, there was a sudden explosion in the sky, and a dazzling light shone out!
"boom--!"
Xia Luotong was startled by the sudden noise, and subconsciously reached for the various self-defense objects hidden in her sleeves. However, as soon as she made a move, she was held down by Wu Zechen.
At this time, Wu Zechen had long lost the distant and cold aura just now. Not only was his eyes full of smiles, but his face also had a rare gentle smile.
"Look, do you like it?"
Wu Zechen suddenly gently picked up her chin and turned her to one side of the sky. At this moment, another ray of light shot straight into the sky, and then exploded. Gorgeous fireworks scattered in the night sky, reflected in the dark night. The bottom is particularly gorgeous and charming.
At this time, Xia Luotong looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky one after another. She was stunned on the spot. She seemed to have lost the ability to think. She just stared blankly at the night sky. The colorful lights were reflected in her midnight-like eyes. In his eyes, Wu Zechen on the side was fascinated.
After a while, Xia Luotong slowly came back to his senses.
Her thoughts returned and she connected back and forth, and then she realized what had happened. Suddenly her heart was filled with emotions called touching, as well as the sweetness that filled her heart.
This large area belongs to Wu Zechen's Zhuangzi, so naturally there will be no other person besides Wu Zechen himself who can set off fireworks here.
He specially brought her to Anyuan Town to explore the mystery of her life experience, then brought her to Zhuangzi, confessed his secret to her, and finally created such a gorgeous fireworks.
In fact, the fireworks of the Great Zhou Dynasty are really ordinary to Xia Luotong. As a modern soul, she has naturally seen more varieties, more novel and spectacular fireworks, but at this time, she feels that her favorite is still the one right now. One game.
Because its meaning is different...
"Why are there such fireworks suddenly?" Xia Luotong turned to look at Wu Zechen, but unexpectedly ran into his affectionate eyes. The strong emotion in them made her stunned for a moment.
Did he already have such deep feelings for me since I don’t know when?
Xia Luotong looked deeply into his eyes, feeling as if he was the only one left in the whole world, just like herself in his eyes.
When Wu Zechen heard her question, he said in a low and hoarse voice: "The New Year's Eve palace banquet was interrupted, and you didn't get to watch the fireworks properly, so you thought of having a fireworks show that was unique to you today."
New Year's Eve palace banquet?
Yes, not long after the fireworks started, something happened to Xu Caidi. Naturally, the fireworks ended in nothing. Everyone no longer cared about watching the fireworks. After returning to Baohe Hall to wait for questioning, they went their separate ways not long after. Back home.
Didn't expect this to be the reason?
Xia Luotong felt warm in her heart. The more she got to know this man, the warmer her heart became.
