Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 172 Past and Present
Under his gaze, Chai Sujin's face was hot and embarrassed, and she turned around suddenly, with her back to him.

"If you want to 'meet each other honestly', why do you need to turn your back and cover it up?" Zhao Yuanzhen sarcastically said.

Chai Sujin sighed, and stopped the movements of her hands, "You are the person who is most familiar and closest to the princess, even your father and brother, and your relationship cannot be compared. So you know everything about the princess, right?" ? Since you always say that you miss the princess, you must not forget the special features of the princess, right?"

Zhao Yuanzhen pursed his lips suspiciously.

But at this moment, Chai Sujin suddenly turned around.

The golden cloud patterns on the shoulders, reflecting the light of the indoor candles, are so dazzling that people can hardly look directly at them.

Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes widened, and he stared blankly at her left shoulder, as if dazzled by the beautiful lines on her shoulder, with a dazed expression, as if he lost his mind.

There was a deep silence in the room, and the two stood opposite each other.

Her clothes are half back, and he is neatly dressed.

But her expression was cold and calm, but he was flustered.

"This... No, no... You..." Zhao Yuanzhen seemed unable to recover his voice, and the words that were thrown out of his mouth were almost not from his mouth.

However, Chai Sujin approached him step by step, "Brother Zhen, come and verify, this pattern is true or not, but it's a forgery? Don't doubt it."

When she approached, Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't help but took two steps back, "Don't...stop!"

Chai Sujin paused, "Don't you? Or don't stop?"

Beads of sweat almost appeared on Zhao Yuanzhen's forehead, his face was pale, his eyes were mad and on the verge of collapse, and he looked at her blankly, "You... exactly, who are you?"

Chai Sujin lowered her head and laughed, the laughter sounded particularly desolate in this quiet bedroom, "Who am I? Now, you still ask me who I am? We have shared the same bed for many years, Is it fake? You ask me, who am I?"

"Jin'er..." Zhao Yuanzhen's lips moved slightly, the voice was so small that even he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Don't you really need to verify the authenticity?" Chai Sujin began to arrange the clothes, wanting to put them on.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at her with stiff eyes, "Are you... Jin'er? You... are you back?"

Chai Sujin lowered her head, looked at the belt in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, brother Zhen, I died, and I died inexplicably, but I opened my eyes again. When I opened my eyes, I thought I was standing by my side. It must be you, as long as I see you, I will feel at ease. But when I open my eyes, I can’t see you anywhere... I am very scared, you know?"

Zhao Yuanzhen took a stiff step, approaching her step by step, "Jin'er, Jin'er...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Chai Sujin shook her head and sighed, "I'm sorry for what? I'm sorry for betraying me? I'm sorry for my trust in you? I'm sorry for my father and younger brother who calculated me so badly? I'm sorry...well, are you sorry for me too much?"

"Yes, Jin'er, I'm sorry you have too many things!" Zhao Yuanzhen finally walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, hugged her tightly, and raised his hand to stroke her hair carefully. shoulder, deeply sniffing the breath on her body.

The aura that he restrained himself in the past, and even deliberately rejected it, is so familiar.

He looked down at her face, looked at her strange face, "How could such a thing happen in the world, why would there be such a thing?"

"Are you unwilling to believe it? Or are you afraid to admit it?" Chai Sujin snorted, "You can't recognize me, you must see the external evidence to recognize me?"

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head, his eyes were bloodshot, but his voice was dry and hoarse, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He said it over and over again in his heart, but when he said it now, he could only look pale.

Chai Sujin looked up at him.

I saw him burst into tears, but his face was expressionless.

His tears flowed down his cheeks, fell into her collar, and dripped onto her neck, but his face was still flat.

"You will cry, but why is there no expression of joy or remorse on your face?" Chai Sujin raised her hand and caressed his cheek, and murmured.

Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly reached out to grab her hand, and pressed it on his heart, "My guilt is all in my heart, not on my face."

Chai Sujin stared closely at his eyes, as if looking into his heart from his eyes.

She nodded slowly, "I see it, the struggle in your eyes, the joy and pain in your eyes."

Zhao Yuanzhen twitched the corners of his mouth, but still didn't make any expression.

He seems to always have an indifferent face, no matter when or what happens, he can't be moved.

Chai Sujin sighed softly, and pulled her hand from his, "Can you trust me now?"

"Tell me, Jin'er, what have you been through? After so many days, how...how did you get here? Why couldn't you recognize me when you first arrived in the capital, and have been...waiting until now?" Zhao Yuanzhen pulled She leaned against the bed and sat down on the carpet.

Chai Sujin shook her head, "I can't say, I came back to life with great difficulty, and I don't want to die again."

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at her in astonishment, speechless in a daze.

Chai Sujin smiled palely, "Yes, after I came back to life, I thought a lot and doubted a lot. I even doubted you, suspected that you took my name."

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head again and again, weeping silently.

"Now I know that you were really kept in the dark. If it weren't for your persecution tonight, maybe I still wouldn't be sure. So, I can't reveal my identity." Chai Sujin said, "In the past, even if Tell me, no one will believe you, right?"

The Ganoderma lucidum cloud patterns on her shoulders were not present at birth, but when she fell into the water when she was seven years old, the queen mother saved her life with a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and then grew little by little on her shoulders, and passed The Ganoderma lucidum cloud pattern summoned the ancient fairy grass, even after she had reached her age.

She was afraid of being regarded as a different kind, and she was even more worried that someone would covet this fairy grass, so she never told others, only the queen mother knew.

After the death of the queen mother, only the person she married later and the person who had a close relationship with her skin had seen her.

That is to say, only Zhao Yuanzhen has seen the Ganoderma lucidum cloud patterns on her shoulders with his own eyes.

As for the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, it was a secret she kept alone, even Zhao Yuanzhen, she had never mentioned it.

Therefore, except in front of him, she had no way to prove that she was the late Chai Sujin.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded slowly, "Jin'er, you have been wronged too much... But you said, the person who murdered you..."

"Don't you understand now? Don't you have any doubts in your heart? I have always been in good health, why did I leave so suddenly?" Chai Sujin looked at Zhao Yuanzhen's face and his eyes full of pain.

"Jin'er, I..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "The Imperial Physician Ling, he is my uncle, my uncle."

Chai Sujin sighed, "For me, for the sake of my death once, can you let go of your hatred? Can you stop revenge like this? Let go of my father, let go of my brother?"

"I don't want their lives. Before I met you, I thought. After I met you, I was shaken..." Zhao Yuanzhen buried her head in her knees and said in a muffled voice.

"Why is it like this now? You know that your uncle's heart has changed. He is no longer what he was before. What he sees now is not the hatred of the past, but the authority in a high position. He must not be the same as before. That uncle who took care of you." Chai Sujin said slowly, "He persecuted you so much, and even took the life of the person you love..."

"Jin'er." Zhao Yuanzhen interrupted her and looked up at her.

Chai Sujin also looked back at him.

The four eyes met for a long time, like a silent communication, more like a soul communication.

Outside the window, it seemed to be raining again.

The dark night is over.

The sky was gradually turning white, and the lights and candles in the room seemed to be blown by the wind from the cracks in the doors and windows, swaying, and went out with a puff.

In the silent bedroom, came a soft sigh.

Amidst the sigh, the two turned their eyes away.

"Have I forced you too?" Chai Sujin asked in a very soft voice, with a bitter taste in her tone.

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head, "I'm sorry, Jin'er. I can't face... I can't face the innocent death of more than 100 members of the Yu family. I must, I must do something. The hatred in my heart can be calmed. Otherwise, I will definitely be driven crazy by myself. It’s not my uncle who is driving me, I am also driving myself. I can keep my ears closed for his voice, but how can I not listen to the howl in my heart?”
