The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 148 Confession
Xie Xi laughed, seeing that Lin Zisu was always looking at him coldly, she couldn't help feeling guilty, touched her nose, and said, "Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from you, I actually agreed to that Sun Duzhong... ah No, Senior Sun, he said he was afraid that you would be too young to hide things, so he didn't let me tell you."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xie Xi didn't have any taboos, and simply told the whole story.

"After Sun Duzhong caused disasters in the palace, Father didn't like him very much, and he knew too many secrets. If he wasn't useful, he would have been taken away by the East Factory for interrogation."

Lin Zisu disagreed with Xie Xi's words. In her heart, the emperor was not a stingy person.

In the past few days in the palace, I have come across several secret stories in the palace. Not only did the emperor not despise him, but he also generously let me listen to his way of governing the country.

If the emperor cared about the master, how could the master survive to this day?

Xie Xi guessed what was going on in Lin Zisu's mind, and then said, "How do you think he has survived to this day? It's not because Father knows that he has good medical skills, so he has been keeping him. Now that you, a little genius doctor, stand out from the crowd, his Useful, but insignificant.”

"Sun Duzhong is an old fritter. He has already seen something is wrong. When he entered the palace, he prepared a fake death medicine. Speaking of it, his medicine is miraculous. I kept it from the past. I wonder if you still have this medicine here?"

"No! Even if there is, I won't give it to you!"

Lin Zisu raised her head and glared at Xie Xi, and said bitterly: "If you hadn't urged me to enter the palace, why would my master need to feign death to escape?"

"Don't you think that right now is the best result? Your Lin family followed you and won the favor of the emperor. Your father's success in the sky is just around the corner. Senior Sun retired completely, and I also won the trust of the emperor. Everyone is happy. Are you entangled for a mere Sun Duzhong?"

Xie Xi said it lightly, but Lin Zisu was extremely resentful in her heart, feeling like she was being used by others.

She thought of her previous life, where she was used all her life, and she didn't realize how stupid and pitiful she was until she died.

It was the first time in this life that she felt this way, which made her inexplicably upset.

"What a success! My father doesn't care about these things, and I don't care about them either!"

Speaking of this, Lin Zisu became excited: "His Royal Highness Dun! You use your courtiers to let our masters and apprentices work for you. Now that your goal has been achieved, should you let me out of the palace?"

"In your eyes, is this the kind of person I am?"

Xie Xixuan frowned, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

With a tense face, he asked: "Susu, have you ever thought about what would have happened to your Lin family if you hadn't entered the palace to rescue him this time, and if the father hadn't woken up?"

Lin Zisu's pupils widened suddenly. She had heard a lot about Cao Shouli's report to the emperor these days, especially the secret report about her family.

In order to bring down Luo Xiu in a legitimate way, the gang in the court did everything they could.

His father had this relationship with Luo Xiu's disciples, so he was passively involved in party struggles.I heard that in order to drag his father into the water, the people from the Ministry of Punishment even used the trick of framing him.

If it wasn't for the emperor's covert protection, his family would have been destroyed forever.

Not only should I be thankful that I won the favor of the emperor when I came to the palace, but I should also be thankful that the emperor deliberately pretended to be sick.

It should be said that Xie Xi has repeatedly defended himself regardless of the cost, and this is how he is now able to retreat.

What's more, even the emperor might not know about Master's fake death.Xie Xi thought hard, she shouldn't have gotten angry at him.

Lin Zisu felt that she had to say thank you, and was about to speak, when Xie Xi pointed to a place not far to the east, and said, "That place is called Dong Er Institute, and I grew up there."

In the previous life, Lin Zisu lived in the palace for seven years, and had never heard of this place in the East Second Institute. Lin Zisu asked curiously: "East Second Institute? I have never heard of this place."

As night fell, lights were lit up everywhere in the palace, except the place Xie Xi mentioned was pitch black.

A look of pain flashed across Xie Xi's face. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said: "It was originally the residence of the princes. I lived there until I was 12 years old, and then I moved to the West Third Institute."

"Because of my mother's status, my second and third brothers never played with me, and my father was busy with government affairs all day long, so he didn't have time to pay attention to me. Before I was 12 years old, there were only two familiar people around me. One was My wet nurse, the other...is called Yuxiu..."

Hearing Xie Xi's tone of voice, Lin Zisu immediately recognized that "Yuxiu" was unusual.

It was rare for Xie Xi to have such a past. Lin Zisu became interested and thought that Xie Xi wanted to focus on this Yuxiu.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xi didn't mention this name anymore, and said: "The nanny has been by my side since she was born, and the relationship with me can be said to be closer than that of my mother and concubine. I have obeyed her words since I was a child. Even during those years in Kunning Palace, the wet nurse was the closest to me."

A sarcasm appeared on Xie Xi's face, and he said: "It was only later that I found out that this wet nurse was planned by someone else to be by my side before I was born. under the control of others."

Lin Zisu looked at Xie Xi with some sympathy, no wonder Xie Xi's temperament was absurd, presumably because of self-defeating.

She was thinking in her heart, the person Xie Xi was talking about was Concubine Tang Zhuang?Or is it Concubine Zhang Xian?

"It's nothing more than watching me. Many things I believed in back then, now that I think about it, they were all carefully fabricated by others. Even I don't know whether my mother and concubine have lived in this Zhaixing Pavilion for a long time."

Xie Xi said, took a step forward, bent down and looked into the courtyard.

Right below the attic is an abandoned dry well, like a monster, with its mouth open, devouring the darkness of the world.

Xie Xi remained silent for a long time, staring at the mouth of the well in a daze.

Lin Zisu saw that his mind was agitated, afraid that he would accidentally fall, so she reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Xie Xi heard the movement behind her, straightened up, turned her head to look, and saw Lin Zisu pulling her sleeves with both hands, with a nervous expression on her face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the past ten years It’s all over, if I wanted to die, I would have died long ago, why wait until today?”

Lin Zisu used to use her hands hard, but Xie Xi got up, and immediately leaned back, and heard a "hiss", and Xie Xi's sleeve was torn off half of her.

As a result, Lin Zisu lost her balance and fell backwards instead.

In a blink of an eye, Xie Xi stretched out a hand quickly, grabbed Lin Zisu's wrist, and then pulled hard, Lin Zisu slammed into his arms.
