cold heart prince

Chapter 109

The new passage is not long, the two of them didn't walk for long, they came to the end, Yan Xiao first tried to push it, but he didn't want to, he just pushed it lightly, and then pushed it away, revealing the dazzling sunlight, Yan Xiao After blowing out the torch in his hand, he and Keyi looked at each other, and then walked out first.Ke Yi followed closely behind him.

This is the residence of an ordinary farmer, a simple room with a wall in the middle separating the kitchen from the outside, and the bedroom inside, right?Coming out of the secret passage, Ke Yi turned around and looked around, only to find that they came out of a cabinet.

Perhaps it was the sound of opening the cabinet that startled the people inside. Suddenly, there was the sound of a porcelain bowl being broken.

As expected, it was a bedroom, in front of a simple bed, a woman looked at Keyi and Yan Xiao who appeared inexplicably with a pale face, trembling slightly, with a look of horror on her face.

Keyi smiled slightly, and said gently, "May I ask if you have seen a woman appear before?" She didn't mean to scare others.

"Ah-ah-ah-" the woman opened her mouth, but it was just this one sound, and she kept waving her hands, which meant to drive them away.

"Auntie." Keyi couldn't help being puzzled, and called out.

Impatient, the woman seemed to have heard nothing to rely on, and continued her behavior.

"It looks like she can't speak or hear."

After being silent for a while, Yan Xiao came to a conclusion and said to Keyi.

Keyi stared, and opened her small mouth slightly: "Then we can't ask anything?" She said anxiously.

Yan Xiao raised her eyebrows, and her sharp pupils looked at the bed behind the woman, on which the quilt was a little raised: "Since we can't ask, then we will find it ourselves."

Keyi was puzzled, she stared blankly at Yan Xiao, and saw his eyes staring at the bed for a moment, suddenly, she seemed to understand something, she raised her steps and walked towards the bed.However, he was hugged by the woman.

"Ah-ah-"

She hugged Keyi tightly, not letting her move an inch, and opened her mouth to scream even more nervously, which made Keyi even more suspicious, thinking that there must be something wrong with the bed.But she didn't dare to use her internal force to shake the woman away, for fear of accidentally hurting her.

Taking advantage of the woman's focus on Ke Yi, Yan Xiao flashed to the front of the bed and quickly lifted the quilt.

On the bed, there was indeed a woman lying on the bed. When the quilt was lifted, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Yan Xiao with fear: "You, what are you going to do?"

Yan Xiao just glanced at her indifferently, then turned his head and stared at Ke Yi.But from Ke Yi's expression, he could see that this woman was the one they were looking for.

Ke Yi's whole body froze, and her pleasantly clear eyes locked tightly on the woman's beautiful face, which was exactly the same as in memory, and the years seemed to have left no trace on her face, but at this moment, she looked even thinner , between the eyebrows, adding a little more morbidity.

She has been looking forward to it for nine years, and she has been thinking about it for nine years, my mother!

"mother--"

Keyi moved her lips and whispered.As soon as the words fell, tears, like a pouring flood, burst out of the eyes.

"Mom." She raised her voice and called out again.

Yun Xiang'er's body paused suddenly, and then she slowly turned her head, her eyes met Ke Yi's, her eyes that were originally dim suddenly shone brightly, as bright as stars, and ammonia mist appeared in her eye sockets.

"You are... Yiyi?" She swallowed hard, she couldn't believe that God would treat her so kindly, just after escaping from the devil's den, she was allowed to see her daughter, after so many years of seeing each other, she has grown into a beautiful woman, let her, Almost unrecognizable.

The woman seemed to have seen something from the interaction between the two, and let go of Keyi's hand, and Keyi rushed to the bed: "Mother, my daughter misses you so much." As she spoke, she shed tears .

Yun Xiang'er struggled to get up, but she couldn't stand her whole body, but it was futile. In the end, she could only give up, tilted her head, and said weakly: "Mother misses you too, I never thought that my Yiyi has grown so big." His loving eyes looked at Keyi for a moment, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

Keyi sensed something was wrong and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Yun Xiang'er sighed a long time, and said: "I was poisoned by Tong Qianming, and my whole body is weak."

Keyi took a breath: "Since he took you away?"

"Yeah." Yun Xiang'er nodded lightly, and stopped talking about other things, and Ke Yi didn't ask too much, she thought, Mother must be treated inhumanly by Tong Qianming, it was a lingering nightmare, mentioned it , It will only add to the sadness of the mother.

"Mother, everything is over. From today onwards, we will never be separated again. From now on, let me protect you." Keyi held Yun Xiang'er's hand, with a determination that cannot be ignored in his eyes.

Yun Xiang'er felt relieved, in fact, as long as she could see Keyi again, she would be very satisfied.

"Mother, since you are so weak, why did you leave the secret room?"

Yun Xiang'er smiled faintly, cast her gaze behind Keyi, and landed on the woman: "She was the one who carried me out of the secret room."

As soon as she finished speaking, Keyi walked towards the woman, knelt down in front of her with a plop, and kowtowed three times: "Thank you for saving my mother." Although she couldn't hear it, the words of thanks , I still have to say, only for the kindness of saving her mother and leaving.

The woman staggered for a moment, then bent over to help Ke Yi up: "You don't have to thank me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded. Can she speak and hear?
The woman smiled slightly, got up and went outside to fetch a basin of water and brought it back to the room, facing the bronze mirror on the table, and wiped it off bit by bit.When she faced everyone again, she was no longer a woman over half a century old, with slender willow-leaf eyebrows, delicate skin, and a small cherry-like mouth, no matter how she looked, she looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Up to now, I don't need to hide any more. This is my true face."

"Then why did you sneak into the prime minister's mansion pretending to be an overseas Chinese?" After a long while, Keyi asked, and at the same time asked Yan Xiao and Yun Xiang'er the doubts in his heart.

The girl sighed, and slowly started to speak:

"My family is in a small village outside Hongdu City. One night two years ago, my father brought a group of people back home and took my mother away. When those people left behind a bulging bag, my father opened it. It was an ingot of silver. At that time, I was lying under the window secretly, but my father, who was busy counting the money, didn't see it. I watched my mother being fainted and taken out of the house, but I was too scared to go up. In the past, my father was a gambler, and he often went out to gamble with the silver that my mother had saved so hard. Sometimes when my mother said a few words, he threatened to sell my mother. I always thought he was just talking, but unexpectedly that night, my father I really sold my mother. In the days that followed, I kept asking my father and mother's whereabouts, but my father refused to tell me. Until the first few months, my father often sighed and sighed alone. Once, he After drinking too much, I took the opportunity to ask again, maybe because he was completely unconscious, he said it out. It turned out that two years ago, he lost a bet in a casino and had no money to pay back. The casino people wanted to cut off his hands and feet , Dad actually said that as long as he let him go, he can sell his daughter and wife. This sentence was overheard by someone. The man found Dad and said that he was willing to spend 100 taels to buy mother. Dad agreed without saying a word And two years later, Dad saw that man again in the casino. He approached him and asked if he had a daughter, but the man replied that he only needed a woman who was nearly fifty years old, and young women were not I need it. I hate, hate my father for being ruthless, betraying my mother, and wanting to sell me. But then I thought, if I take this opportunity to sneak into the prime minister's residence, I might be able to find my mother's whereabouts."

The woman burst into tears when she said this, but Keyi couldn't help but feel sad, another heartless father.

"That's why you pretend to be a woman?"

The woman glanced at Keyi, and nodded: "Since the man specified that he wanted a woman, that's the only way for me to enter the prime minister's mansion. When Dad saw that he was making money, he brought him to that man without asking any more questions. In fact, I was also afraid. , afraid of being seen through and causing any trouble, everyone knows that Tong Xiang is not easy to provoke, let alone cheat, otherwise he would not be the prime minister. Fortunately, they didn't notice anything wrong, and then, I I was brought here, and that person gave me a crescent-shaped stone, and told me the location of the organ and what I should do. After making sure that I understood it completely, someone brought me a bowl of pitch-black soup and ordered me to drink it. Excuse me, I used to go to the mountains to collect herbs, so I know a little about herbs, and when I heard the smell of the soup, I knew that there were herbs in it that would make people deaf and speechless."

"Then why are you okay after drinking it?" It was Yan Xiao who spoke.

"Because this medicine is not incurable, but it needs to be mixed with cow dung into clear water to remove it. After that, I pretended to be deaf and dumb in front of them, doing what they told me to do, and on the one hand, I wanted to find out about my mother. news, but they are very well guarded. This room is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion at all, but in the back mountain, which is still far away from the Prime Minister's Mansion. And there are people watching here, and my actions are not convenient. Until not long ago , the person watching me suddenly disappeared, and I didn't show up for several days. I couldn't hold back my curiosity, and walked to the street boldly. After hearing what everyone was talking about, I realized that Tong Xiang had conspired to rebel and was arrested. Tong's house was also ransacked, so the wife was brought out from the secret passage, but my mother still couldn't find it."

"Girl, can you draw a portrait of your mother for me to see?" Hearing this, Yun Xiang'er suddenly thought that the people who took care of her and delivered meals to her were nearly half a hundred women. There is her mother.

The girl was slightly taken aback: "But, I haven't studied painting before."

"You describe it, and I draw it." Yan Xiao said lightly.

The girl glanced at Yan Xiao gratefully, ran to get a pen and paper, looked at the portrait, maybe that lady had seen her mother.

After a painting was finished, the girl looked at it and was amazed again and again. She was no different from herself. She held it in front of Yun Xianger, and Yun Xianger recognized the person in the painting at a glance: "Fu Ma."

"Ma'am, have you seen my mother?"

The girl looked at Yun Xiang'er expectantly, and asked eagerly.

"She was the person who took care of me before you. She would change someone every once in a while, and the interval was not fixed. As for where she went, only Tong Qianming knew." Yun Xianger apologized, and she could only watch See if you have seen this person, and nothing else can help.

Hearing this, the girl lowered her eyes, a little disappointed.

"You come with us, and we will help you find a way to find your mother." Ke Yi understood the girl's mood, just as they had similar experiences before she found her mother, which made Keyi want to help her.

The girl Wan'er smiled, shook her head and rejected Keyi's help.

"Thank you for your kindness. Now that Madam has found her relatives and you will take care of her, I can go to my mother with peace of mind. With this portrait, it will be much easier to find my mother."

Seeing her insistence, Ke Yi swallowed the words and respected her decision.

The girl folded up the portrait, put it in her arms carefully, said goodbye to everyone, and then stepped out of the house to leave.

"Yiyi, let's go too, and put your mother in the Moxu Bieyuan, what do you think?" Yan Xiao picked up Yun Xiang'er, and asked Ke Yi who was beside him.

Ke Yi tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said: "I want to take Mother back to the palace. This way, it will be more convenient for me to take care of her. I don't want Mother to leave me again."

"What if he asks?"

Ke Yi understood who Yan Xiao was referring to, she didn't think about whether he would agree to her taking her mother to the palace, after all, she didn't have the final say in the palace, but right now, she didn't want to be separated from her mother.

"I will find time to mention it to him later. If he disagrees, then I will take my mother to Moxu's other courtyard."

"That's fine." Yan Xiao always respects Ke Yi's decision, as long as it's what she wants, he will help her achieve it, as long as she can be happy.After finding her mother, she will be somewhat comforted. If she doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know. She has always pretended to be strong on the surface and tried to change herself. However, the pain of losing a child, the pain of losing a sister The pain, the wound, cannot be healed overnight.

The environment of this house built on the back mountain is not very good. What you can see is covered with weeds, and the road can hardly be seen. After a long time, they walked out, but they were still in the suburbs, not Hongdu City.

"Yan Xiao, wait for me here, I'll go to the city and hire a carriage." After finishing speaking, he tapped his toes and headed towards Hongdu.

Seeing this, Yun Xiang'er was a little suspicious that Yiyi has such high martial arts, but she quickly let go. She left Yiyi since she was a child, and it is not impossible for Yiyi to learn martial arts. That's good, she can protect herself.

Not long after, Ke Yi came back in a carriage, and the coachman was driving it on the other side.With the carriage, the speed of returning to the palace was much faster. In less than half an hour, the gate of the palace appeared in front of him.
