That's enough, that's enough.

"I cooked some millet and brown sugar porridge for my wife. I think you must be hungry. If you don't mind, why don't you try it?" Si Jixia stood in front of the stove, stirring the pot in front of him with a long-handled spoon. millet porridge, asked Li Hui plainly.

There is quite a lot of millet porridge in the pot. Judging by Dong Nuangu's daily food intake, she must not be able to finish this pot of millet porridge. It is impossible for Si Jixia not to know Dong Nuangu's food intake. He seems to be doing it on purpose. It looks like it's overcooked.

Hearing Si Jixia's question, Li Hui was unavoidably startled, still unavoidably nervous, and asked a little cautiously, "Can Li have a taste of little brother Aji's cooking?"

"Light porridge, if your lord doesn't dislike it, I can serve you a bowl." Si Jixia's tone was still flat.

Li Hui was quite excited, "Then Li will thank little brother Aji first, thank you."

Si Jixia put a long-handled spoon in the pot, walked to a side cabinet and took out a white porcelain bowl with lotus flowers dotted on the wall. After scooping up half a bowl of millet porridge, he walked up to Li Hui and handed it to Li Hui. Regret to Li.

Li Hui took it with trembling hands, only to hear Si Jixia say, "My lord, wait a moment."

Li Hui was puzzled, and then saw Si Jixia brought him a spoon, put it in his bowl with his own hands, and added: "I forgot the spoon."

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he turned around and went to pack the food table.

Li Hui was holding the porcelain bowl, but he didn't pick up the spoon for a long time. He still stared at Si Jixia's back and asked, "Brother Ah Ji, don't you want some?"

"Let's eat with my wife after she gets up." Si Jixia finished speaking, then continued after a pause, "It's fine for adults to eat, don't worry about it."

"Then... Li will be impolite."

After a while, Li Hui looked down at the millet porridge he was holding in his hand, smelled the sweet aroma of brown sugar, raised his heavy hand, scooped a spoonful of it, bowed his neck while raising his hand, and poured the porridge into the mouth.

The porridge was very fragrant and sweet, and the steaming steam coming out of the bowl made Li Hui's eyes blurred. Then he slowly ate all the millet porridge in the bowl, but he didn't even eat a grain of it. remain.

Li Hui was only focused on eating the millet porridge in his bowl, and didn't notice that Si Jixia stopped what he was doing at some point, and turned around to look at him.

When Si Jixia finished cleaning up, and Li Hui just finished eating, another pot on the stove was steaming upwards, steaming, and it was stewed with a pot of bone and peanut soup.

Si Jixia ignored the bubbling pot of bone soup, then walked up to Li Hui, took the bowl he had eaten cleanly, and saw that there was not even a grain of millet left in the bowl Si Jixia's eyes moved slightly, and he said politely: "My lord's complexion is not good, it's better to go back to rest earlier, I'm afraid my wife is going to wake up soon, so it's inconvenient for me to take you back to the bamboo forest courtyard, I'll take your place." My lord, bring your entourage here."

Si Jixia put the bowl he took from Li Hui into the wooden basin on the water tank. After speaking, he slightly nodded at Li Hui, and was about to pass by him to leave the kitchen, but Li Hui Sorry to stop.

"Brother Ah Ji, wait a minute!" Li Hui's tone sounded eager as if he was extremely reluctant to leave Si Ji Xia, but he still wanted to raise his hand to grab his wrist.

Si Jixia stopped, but Li Hui's hand did not touch Si Jixia, and he quickly withdrew his hand the moment Si Jixia stopped.

Li Hui looked at Si Jixia without blinking, and said nervously, "Li... Can Li take another look at the black jade pendant hanging around Brother Aji's neck?"

Si Jixia's body was slightly stiff, and after a while he slowly turned around and stood facing Li Hui, but looked at him calmly.

Si Jixia's expression was calm, but Li Hui's palms were sweating nervously, he gripped the chair handle tightly, and asked again with a slightly trembling voice: "Can you?"

Si Jixia was silent, then nodded slightly, raised his hand, touched the folded skirt of his chest, and took out the black jade pendant that was attached to his chest.

Even if it was an extremely familiar thing, when Li Hui saw it, his heart, which was already well prepared, still shrank involuntarily.

But he can no longer show a strange look in front of this child, he must...be calm enough.

"My lord." But this time, Li Hui managed to act calm enough, and it was Si Jixia who was not calm. He was holding the jade pendant in his hand and hadn't let go for a long time. , I don’t know whether to look at the black jade pendant in his hand or at Li Hui, and asked in a low voice, "If my lord knows this black jade pendant, can you tell me what the meaning of this jade pendant is? Or can you tell me... Where is the person related to this jade pendant?"

Si Jixia's hands suddenly trembled a little, "I came to Yuncheng from Nanshu Kingdom only for this matter. If your lord knows, please let me know."

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Hui, but he didn't straighten his back for a long time after bowing, as if he kept bowing like this if Li Hui didn't answer.

"Brother Ah Ji... How about sitting down and talking?" Li Hui looked at Si Jixia lovingly and distressedly, and wanted to raise his hand to touch him again, but now that he was awake, he no longer had the courage.

Si Jixia didn't move.

Li Hui didn't force it any more, just took his hands off the chair handle, clasped them in front of him, gradually clenched them tightly, looked at the ink jade pendant hanging in front of Si Jixia, and said slowly: "This ink jade pendant, It belongs to your biological mother, your mother, surnamed Duan, surnamed Wanying, is the eldest daughter of the Dongling Houfu of the Southern Shu Kingdom."

"22 years ago, your mother met a young man from Beishuang Kingdom by the Green Water Lake in Dongling. The man's name is... Yansu."

When the word "Yansu" was mentioned, Li Hui's eyes were full of deep sadness.

Si Jixia trembled all over, but suddenly he heard Li Hui say with a gentle smile: "Brother Ah Ji, you should sit down, you are standing like this, Li can't speak."

Only then did Si Jixia straighten up slowly, walked to the table, pulled a bench over, and sat not far or close to Li Hui.

Li Hui didn't force him to sit beside him, but just looked at him lovingly and smiled, then turned his head back, but he didn't know where to look, and continued: "You have a piece of paper hanging around your neck. The pattern engraved on the back of the black jade pendant you own means this, and it was also made by Yan Su, it was your mother who asked Yan Sufei to engrave it on this jade pendant."

"But your mother is the one who has a marriage contract after all. The other party is your Prince Yi of Nanshu Kingdom. But your mother doesn't want to marry, so she chooses to abandon everything she has and elope with Yansu."

"Later, they returned to Beishuang Country, and after that, your mother conceived you."

"21 years ago, there was a great turmoil in the Beishuang Kingdom. The Prime Minister Li Fang wanted to usurp the throne. Li thought that even if he didn't know about it, Brother Aji must have heard of it. And Yansu is exactly this Prime Minister Li Fang’s entourage, and then, little brother Aji can imagine what happened, even Prime Minister Li Fang was killed, let alone a small entourage?”

"Then, it was Yansu who failed to protect his wife, and was separated from her during the turmoil that lasted for three full months. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find him, not even the slightest clue. "

Speaking of this, Li Hui squeezed his clasped hands so that his knuckles turned white, his eyes were a little dull, and he tried his best not to let his body tremble, and not to let the tone of his voice change too much.

Si Jixia sat and listened, and gradually clenched his hands.

He was waiting, waiting for Li Hui to continue.

Li Hui was silent for a moment, and then continued slowly: "Nine months after the turmoil started, when Yansu thought she would never find your mother again, she came back."

"But when she came back...she couldn't live long, because she accidentally fell off the cliff while avoiding the pursuit, and spent two full months leaning on the herbs at the bottom of the cliff before being rescued by the herbal farmers who went to collect the herbs. And after she was rescued by Yao Nong, the doctor invited by Yao Nong to see her persuaded her to eat all kinds of herbs too much, the poison accumulated in her body, and she died soon."

"She told Yan Su that she was going to die, and she came back to him with her last breath just for revenge. She hated Yan Su, hated Yan Su for not looking for her, hated Yan Su who said he loved her like that but He gave up on him again, and then stabbed a dagger into Yansu's heart."

"She loves Yansu deeply, so she hates Yansu deeply."

"On that day, she was already driven crazy by love and hatred, and could no longer listen to Yansu's explanation. She only wanted him to die, and wanted him to die with her. She was already...loved to despair, despair became Crazy."

"To this day, Li still clearly remembers her heart-piercing laughter and cries of despair."

"As for Yan Su, he could avoid her attack, but he didn't. She wanted him to die with her, so he died with her."

"It wasn't until the last moment when your mother was about to close her eyes that she smiled sadly and told Yan Su that she gave birth to a son for him."

Si Jixia's breathing was nearly stagnant, his lips were pale and trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something or ask something.

Li Hui still didn't look at him.
