Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 2 Rebirth and Return
The official road of Chang'an, the capital, is located in the west courtyard of Duke Ning's mansion.Surrounded by whitewashed walls and surrounded by a small bamboo forest, the courtyard is separated from the noise of the outside world.

Passing through the verandah shaded by bamboo trees, you can see the main house. A black golden nanmu plaque hangs on the top of the red vermilion-lacquered door, with the two characters "Pray for Residence" inscribed with dragons and phoenixes on it.

A woman was sleeping on the bed in the main house. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her skin was almost transparent. Her head was wrapped in gauze, and blood could still be vaguely seen.

The gilt-embossed incense burner on the table blew out curling smoke rings, neutralizing the scent of medicine that filled the air. The two maids were very busy, with anxiety in their eyebrows.

"The girl has been unconscious for so long, what will happen if she doesn't wake up again?" A maid in a goose-yellow coat and skirt muttered as she wiped the arms of the woman on the bed.

"The girl was really injured this time. The weather is so hot. I'm afraid she got the heat from lying down for a long time. Lefeng, you stare at the medicine simmering in the stove outside, and I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look." The other one was wearing a blue shirt. The maid put down the work in her hand, turned her head and prepared to go out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the bed suddenly let out a faint murmur, and a pair of phoenix eyes slowly opened.

The two maids had very good ears. As soon as they heard the sound, they rushed towards the bed with expressions of surprise: "The girl is finally awake, which makes the slaves really worried."

As soon as Huo Qi opened his eyes, his thoughts were still not clear, and he saw two maids who had been with him since he was a child—Ling Feng and Ting Yu.

Her heart felt as if it had been soaked in Coptis chinensis, feeling bitter and astringent.She was drunk with poisoned wine, and the two maids who had been with her since childhood, married with her, might not end well.

Seeing you in this underworld now, I don't know whether to hate God's cruelty or thank him for his kindness.

Suddenly, she had a splitting headache. She touched her head and said in a daze, "I never thought that I would have a headache after death. Doesn't it mean that death is just a ghost, ignorant?"

When Ting Yu heard this, he touched Huo Qi's forehead, and said anxiously: "Bah, bah, bah! Girls must not say such unlucky words, we girls are very lucky people."

"The girl must have been frightened when she was riding this time. Now that she wakes up, I don't know how happy Madam will be after knowing this." Lingfeng put a soft gold pillow behind Huo Qi and smiled while helping her get up.

"What riding?" Huo Qi was a little puzzled, his mind was like a muddy mess.

"Miss, why don't you remember anything? You and the second son and the second lady went out to ride the horse, but the horse suddenly went crazy. You fell off the horse and hit your head, and you passed out immediately. Up to now, you have been in a coma for more than three days, sir My wife and I are both anxious to get angry." Tingyu scratched his head and explained.

The doubts in Huo Qi's heart grew bigger and bigger. Looking around, he found that they were all familiar furnishings.

There was a moment of horror in my heart, didn't I die, why am I still conscious?

Ningguo's mansion has been sealed long ago, how can he lie in the boudoir before he got married after drinking poisoned wine by himself!

Holding the edge of the bed to get out of the bed, Huo Qi walked to the dressing table and took a selfie in front of the bronze mirror. Although he was still calm on the surface, he was shocked by a huge wave in his heart.

Although the woman in the bronze mirror is very similar to himself, but her features are very childish, unstained, definitely not her current appearance...

A bold guess slipped through my mind, and my second brother Huo Chi went out to ride a horse and had an accident. Isn't this what happened eight years ago?Could it be that he was reborn?

She pinched her arm fiercely, but the pain that hit her made her feel joyful.

The sky has eyes and gave her another chance to come back!

The two maids looked at their girl's actions and were puzzled. There was worry in their eyebrows, but they didn't say anything.

Huo Qi turned his head and asked Lefeng: "What year is it now?"

Lingfeng had always been steady. Although he didn't know what his girl meant, he still answered truthfully: "Girl, it's the eighth year of Daxing. What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable after saying such strange things?"

The eighth year of Daxing... Countless fragments flashed through Huo Qi's mind, the eighth year of Daxing, wasn't that eight years ago...

Huo Qi's eyes were heavy, and he couldn't help thinking of some past events.

Her eldest brother Huo Xian has always been rebellious. Although he comes from a family of civil servants, he always wanted to join the army. When she was 11 years old, she defied her father's orders and went to the frontier to gain training, and was away from home all year round.Therefore, the only two cousins ​​in the family, Huo Qinglan and Huo Chi, were similar in age to her, so they were closer.

That year, Huo Qinglan and Huo Chi encouraged her to go horse riding in a paddock on the outskirts of Beijing.

This paddock in the outskirts of Beijing was set up by the current emperor, and it was specially used for the royal children to ride horses and hunt. Some nobles from the aristocratic families that the emperor relied on especially could use the tokens to go in and out.

Originally, with Huo Rushan's official position, Huo Qinglan and Huo Chi were not qualified to enter the paddock, but Huo Qi was also there, holding the Ningguo Duke's token to make the trip.

At that time, she rode the horse for a few laps. Unexpectedly, the usually docile horse suddenly went crazy. For a moment, she couldn't control it, so she fell straight down and broke her head. She was unconscious for half a month. I almost broke my leg.

After all, this paddock on the outskirts of Beijing is a royal place. If something happens on the royal territory, if there is any problem, it will cause huge waves and cause trouble for Ningguo Duke's government.

Therefore, in the last life, she only wanted to calm down the matter, and took all the responsibility on herself, saying that she accidentally fell off the horse, and only then did she lightly expose the matter.

But the incident still spread, and some people in the capital even laughed at her. How could Huo Qi, the eldest daughter of the Huo family, have the demeanor of a wealthy family?

His equestrian skills were not good, so he could just hide it and tuck it in. He actually fell off his horse in full view of the royal paddock, completely humiliating the Duke Ning's palace.

At that time, she kept blaming herself for bringing shame to the family, and her mother comforted her for a long time before she relieved her heart.

But now, when she thinks back on this matter and scrutinizes it carefully, she finds that this matter is a bit unusual.

On the day of riding, she was choosing horses in the paddock and originally wanted to choose a black horse.But Huo Qinglan advised her that this horse was too tall, so it was better to choose the maroon pony, which was more docile.

Looking at it now, Huo Qinglan must have deliberately guided it, I am afraid that the horse has been tampered with long ago, I only hate that she didn't know the dangers of people at the time, and she believed in this wolfish and ambitious cousin, so she fell into the trap without realizing it.

"Girl, what are you thinking about? This time the girl had an accident in the paddock, and the master was sent into the palace by His Majesty yesterday for questioning. I'm afraid there will be trouble with this matter." Ting Yu saw that her girl had been silent, A sound interrupted Huo Qi's thoughts.

"This matter must be explained to His Majesty, but who can take care of this matter is uncertain." Huo Qi stared at the immature face in the bronze mirror, rolled up his sleeves, and an inexplicable smile floated on the corner of his mouth , "Listen to the rain and the wind, let's go to the paddock."

The two servant girls were startled, and Ting Yu was a little anxious: "Girl, you are in good shape, why are you going out?"

"I know my body well, don't need to say more, just change my clothes for me." Huo Qi said lightly, but there was an irresistible majesty in his tone.

Huo Qi thought in his mind, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

If you don’t want others to know about the things in this world, you can’t do it unless you do it yourself.

Now those villains in the gutter didn't know she was awake yet, so she wanted to catch them off guard.
