away from the heart

Chapter 119 Bloody Vengeance 2
Regardless of Chuyue's struggle, Xue Yao went all the way to the ancestral hall.Chuyue beat him dissatisfied: "Put me down quickly, bastard!"

Only then did Xue Yao let her go to the ground: "Since you know I'm a bastard, why did you come back?"

"I do care about you, you bastard, taking advantage of me, but what I care about even more is that you clearly have something hidden in your heart, but you don't want to explain it to me. When I come back, I just ask you for an explanation!" Chu Yue was full of anger He tidied up his clothes, looked around, and saw that there were all black memorial tablets of the Xue family ancestors. He couldn't help being excited, "Speaking of which, what did you bring me here in the middle of the night, it's scary..."

"I brought you here just to give you the explanation you want." Xue Yao took a deep look at Chuyue, "It's just that there are some things, once said, the relationship between you and me may never be the same. You... ...do you really want to know?"

Chuyue pursed her lips, her expression became solemn: "Speak."

Xue Yao walked to the incense table: "Do you know whose tablet this is?"

Chuyue looked at it, hesitated and said, "Xue Mu? This is...your deceased brother?"

Xue Yao nodded: "Do you still remember the fire in the Yinghua Hall in the palace a few months ago? My brother was still the commander of Ouchi's guards at that time, and he died in the flames to save the royal ancestral tablet."

"I've heard about the former guard commander saving the royal tablet, but I didn't know that it was your brother... Although he was loyal, but in the end... it's a pity."

"It's not just a pity, it's even more suspicious."

Xue Yao told Chuyue all the things he found out in these days, and finally said: "So I set up a bureau in Lingxi Garden that day to attract assassins and find out whether my brother's death was related to the emperor or not. .I never thought of putting you in danger, but in the final analysis, I did use you. You can just blame me and blame me..."

"It's true that you used me, but it's also true that you risked your life to save me. The dangers that followed were nothing more than an accident. It's just..." Chuyue felt as if her mind was filled with paste and her headache was splitting, "I When I was in the palace, I heard some rumors that Concubine Yun was very ill. But the people in the palace are the most talkative and unbelievable. If you want to say, the father killed your elder brother because of this matter ..."

"I don't believe that elder brother will really get involved with the concubine, but is the truth important? Elder brother has personally been in charge of patrolling Xiting, and bought Liuyun Feixue, and everything is pointed at him. The emperor has been jealous of the Xue family for a long time. As long as these rumors reach his ears, how can he tolerate elder brother for a moment?"

"No!" Chuyue backed away in panic, "Father, he...he may be a little cold and suspicious, but he won't do such things! Back then, my biological father spared his life to help him, Before he died, he entrusted me to him, he was kind to me in nurturing me, how could..."

It seems that King Shun has protected her so well all these years.In fact, she didn't know it, she had experienced so much, but she always only saw the bright side of people's hearts.What I love is not her heart as bright as the moon?It's just this kindness that he should have cherished and cared for, but when things came to an end, it was he who wanted to tear off all the disguises with his own hands, put the darkness of this world in front of her, and even pressed her head to force her to go see clearly.

Xue Yao looked at the flustered Chuyue, and felt like a knife was piercing his heart.He sighed deeply: "Although there is no conclusion yet, I will definitely continue to investigate the cause of my brother's death. If the emperor is really the one who initiated the crime, this matter will never stop here. One day the emperor will not tolerate me, I can't tolerate the Xue family. I don't want to embarrass you, think about it these few days, whether you want to be Xue Yao's wife, or the royal princess, no matter how you choose, I have no choice."
