Chapter 125 The Broken Nightmare
Ye Fugui had a nightmare, the scene in the dream was weird, Ye Fugui was holding the young Ye Zhaoyan standing on a mountain peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, the mountain peak was empty, only their mother and daughter, looking extremely lonely.

Looking at the top of the mountain, Ye Fugui felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, as if he would fall into the boundless abyss in the next second, into the darkness, unable to escape.

Holding Xiao Zhaoyan in her arms, she kept running down the mountain.

But after running for a while, she couldn't escape from the range of the mountain, and the further she ran, the darker the surrounding area became.

Suddenly, her feet slipped, her body lost her balance, and she rolled down the hillside.

"Mother, Zhaoyan is scared! Mother!" Xiao Zhaoyan yelled in panic.

Hearing Xiao Zhaoyan's panic-stricken call, Ye Fugui quickly stabilized his figure, and then stretched out his hands to protect Xiao Zhaoyan.

"Zhaoyan, don't be afraid, mother will not abandon you, mother will accompany you!"

At this moment, a pair of cold hands suddenly grabbed Ye Fugui's shoulders and pulled her back severely.

Ye Fugui was shocked, looked back, and saw Xue with a ferocious smile on his face, pointing at her nose and yelling, as if he wanted to tear her up and swallow her.

She opened her eyes suddenly, her chest heaved violently, cold sweat the size of peas kept falling from her forehead, dripping on the bed one drop after another, soaking the thin brocade quilt.

Her eyes were full of shock, and the scene in the dream just now was like a nightmare, lingering.

"Did you have a nightmare?" A deep and pleasant male voice came from beside my ear.

Ye Fugui turned his head suddenly, and saw Ye Zhengping sitting on the edge of the bed holding a bowl of ginseng soup, looking at her with gentle eyes, his handsome face was full of pity and worry.

A strong sense of dependence suddenly emerged in Ye Fugui's heart.

"Am I dreaming?" Her tears flowed down involuntarily, and she reached out to touch the person in front of her.

Ye Zhengping sighed slightly, and grabbed her slender wrist.

His skin was rough, but warm.

Feeling the real touch from the palm, Ye Fugui's heart beat violently, and there was a burst of chaos in his mind.

She was obviously still imprisoned and persecuted by Mrs. Xue in the ancestral hall, why is she lying on the bed in her own room now, and Ye Zhengping came to her side? !
Ye Zhengping sighed softly, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat off Ye Fugui's forehead, then took the bowl of ginseng soup on the table and handed it to her, and said softly, "Don't worry, it was just a dream Come on, drink some ginseng soup!"

With the tip of Ye Fugui's nose, he could smell the faint scent of medicine and sandalwood on the opponent's body.

Feeling the familiar breath, her heart relaxed, her tense spirit gradually eased, she opened her mouth subconsciously, and fed a mouthful of warm ginseng soup into her mouth.

This feels all too familiar.

She remembered that when she was sick when she was a child, Ye Zhengping fed her medicine in the same way.

At that time, my mother had passed away for a year, my father had been on a mission to the border for a long time, and my grandmother moved to Yuanlintai, leaving only a strange Mrs. Lu.

Ye Fugui was sick and willful and refused to take medicine, and the servants at home couldn't persuade him, so he went to the little Ye Zhengping who was studying hard in the study, hoping that he could go out and persuade Ye Fugui to take medicine obediently.

Ye Zhengping often feeds her medicine and takes care of her himself, while reading military books hard by the side.

Ye Fugui was afraid of suffering and pain. In order to let Ye Fugui take the medicine with peace of mind, he even learned how to distinguish and analyze the medicinal materials and their ingredients, how to prepare medicinal materials and make ointment, so that he could prepare the least and least bitter decoction and reduce the amount of leaves. Fugui's pain.

At that time, Ye Zhengping, although he always had a serious face, was serious and indifferent, and serious, he cared for Ye Fugui with utmost patience, explained various medical knowledge to her, and made her sweet and bitter pills to coax her. Take it.

Ye Fugui missed Ye Zhengping like that very much.

Thinking of all the things in the past, Ye Fugui's eyes couldn't help turning red, and the tears in his eyes rolled down uncontrollably, hitting her skirt, leaving a piece of wetness.

Seeing Ye Fugui crying, Ye Zhengping panicked immediately, and quickly put the ginseng soup in his hand on the low table next to the bed, and raised his sleeve to wipe the tears off her cheeks.

"It's my fault. I didn't come back to visit you sooner, which caused you and Zhaoyan to suffer so much."

He paused, and then told Ye Fugui what happened along the way in detail.

A gleam of light gradually appeared in Ye Fugui's gloomy eyes.

She raised her head and glanced at Ye Zhengping, and found that his face was tired and mulberry-colored, the stubble had grown a lot, and the fundus of his eyes was full of bloodshot eyes, obviously he had turned into a slender man from the exhaustion of running back and forth on his way back. This look.

She felt a little uncomfortable, her nose was sore.

He was always so worried about her, except for the first meeting, almost all the embarrassment and running around were for her.

Seeing her staring at him, Ye Zhengping felt even more uncomfortable, "I won't leave Jindu again during this time, and I will stay by Yefu until father comes back!"

Ye Fugui shook his head vigorously, and said with a sob, "It's all my fault, it's because I don't know people well, when Xue Huaidan comes back, I'll make peace with him!"

Ye Zhengping's face changed slightly when he heard the word "heli", his brows were furrowed, and he said earnestly, "If it will have a great impact on you, why not."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Fugui sobbed, tears rolled down like broken pearls.

Seeing Ye Fugui's heartbroken look, Ye Zhengping's heart also tugged. While wiping the tears on her face, he comforted her, "Okay, okay, make peace! Make peace!"

Ye Fugui raised his head, "Don't you think the damage to reputation brought by Heli is more important than my heart?!"

Saying that, Ye Fugui held his heart, and the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop flowing down.

She was originally beautiful and charming, but now the pear blossoms are raining, and she looks so cute and pitiful that one can't help but want to protect her.

"No, of course not." Ye Zhengping shook his head, and quickly explained, "I won't persuade you to be together, and I won't dislike you because of your reputation. What I mean is, let Xue Huaidan give up on you and stop pestering you , let him bear the infamy, in this way, you will also be affected, for the future."

Having said that, his voice stopped abruptly, his face flushed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Ye Fuzhi couldn't help frowning delicately.

Isn't Ye Zhengping too pedantic and old-fashioned?

No wonder he has never been able to marry a daughter-in-law, and he is still not married at the age of thirty!

Thinking of this, Ye Fuzhi couldn't help laughing through his tears.

Seeing her smiling like a flower, Ye Zhengping couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Her eyes are clear, the tails of her eyes are raised slightly upwards, and her eyebrows are crescent-shaped.

As before.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Zhengping asked with a confused face.

"I'm not laughing at anything." Ye Fugui held back his laughter and said pretending to be serious.
