Reborn! The terminally ill prince has taken a fancy to me again

Chapter 178 Mei Zhuoxue's Past ()

This kind of life lasted for nearly two months.

The next day,

Thunder billowed and dark clouds covered the sky.

Mei Zhuoxue stepped into the door and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. When she looked up, she happened to see that it was raining outside the window. He put down the handkerchief and hung up the long sword. Judging from the weather today, Master Xi Wu should not will come.

Picking up the booklet of historical records that he had read halfway through last time, he turned over two pages and then stopped to lean on limp and dazed, looking at the flickering candle flame blown by the wind from outside the window, he stretched out his hand to block it, he came to Tiansheng already It's been almost two months, but the good treatment didn't come as expected, but I learned some other things.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

Her mind was full of miscellaneous thoughts, and she lost interest in reading. Mei Zhuoxue bent down and wanted to extinguish the candle, but suddenly heard the sound of 'bang bang bang'. She thought it was thunder from the sky, but listening carefully, the sound was far more The sky thunder should be finely divided and clearer.

He took down the candlestick to look for it, went around and found that the bookshelf behind him was the source of the sound, Mei Zhuoxue pursed his lips and looked, and finally raised his hand to find the switch, but he didn't know which book he pressed , suddenly heard a 'click', the iron chain rubbed, and the bookshelf extended from the middle to both sides.

Now not only Mei Zhuoxue was stunned, even the child opposite him was also stunned. The white robe covered from head to toe made it impossible to see his face clearly, but she could know that he was about the same age as her. Mei Zhuoxue silently Looking at him, he found that the child was also looking at himself.

"who are you?"

"who are you?"

The two were stunned.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

The two were silent.

"My name is Qiu Shangyun, and I am a soul boy selected by the Master of the State Teacher." In the end, the child spoke first, "Seeing that you are dressed in white, you should also be a soul boy selected by the Master, but why have I never seen you before?"

Mei Zhuoxue took a look at her plain robe without any patterns, her eyes flickered, "Gu... I am not a soul boy, I am here to treat illnesses."

"That's it."

Qiu Shangyun obviously didn't believe it, and walked around him a few times, muttering something while turning, Mei Zhuoxue lived in a deep palace since she was a child, and she didn't have any playmates around her, even if she did, that's what some families wanted If he is a flatterer, he will be annoyed when he sees it.

Now a little bean sprout suddenly appeared, don't be afraid of him, it's quite interesting to talk about it.Mei Zhuoxue raised her eyebrows and let him look at it, but who knew that after looking at it, his gaze fell directly to the dinner plate on the table through him, and at the end, she swallowed.

Mei Zhuoxue: "..."

Ever since, the friendship of a piece of pastry has been formed like this.

Qiu Shangyun ate with great relish, and Mei Zhuoxue thought he was a reincarnation of a starving ghost, so he couldn't help asking: "In such a hurry, have you not eaten for a few days?"

It was originally a joke, but Qiu Shangyun actually nodded his head: "Don't tell me, I haven't eaten for almost three days."

Mei Zhuoxue choked up, seeing that his expression was a little more unpredictable, silently brought a few more plates of pastries, and asked casually: "Didn't you say that you are a soul boy selected by the national teacher? Why are you still alive?" eat."

"I don't know either." Eating too fast, Qiu Shangyun choked a little. It's getting less and less enough, and in the end, I don't know if I forgot or what, I only give it every other time, or else..."

"Otherwise you wouldn't have sneaked out, would you?"

Mei Zhuoxue poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Qiu Shangyun. His expression was serene, and the movements of pouring the tea were elegant and elegant. Only then can he regain his senses.

"What's wrong?" Mei Zhuoxue asked back.

"Ah, no...no thanks." Qiu Shangyun picked up his teacup and drank it all in one go, reached out to wipe his mouth, picked up a few pieces of pastries, jumped off the chair and ran back, "Thank you for your pastries, I will definitely return them when we see you next time Give you."

The little man in the white robe disappeared into the black corridor in an instant. After a while, Mei Zhuoxue didn't see him again, and he didn't even make that short squeak. Opening the secret room, he hesitated for a long time, but he gave up.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the little man was like a stone thrown into the deep pool. His traces had long been obliterated in his heart, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the child appeared again.

"Hey! I'm here to pay off the debt."

As soon as Qiu Shangyun saw Mei Zhuoxue's face, he immediately grabbed him and ran into the corridor.

"Wait." Mei Zhuoxue frowned, "What are you doing?"

Qiu Shangyun looked him up and down strangely: "Naturally, it's to pay off the debt. Last time I ate several pieces of pastry from you, did you forget that I wanted to pay you back?"

Mei Zhuoxue glanced at his empty hands: "No need, it's just a few cakes, there's no need to be so concerned."

"That won't work." Qiu Shangyun tugged at him vigorously, "To be a man, you must reciprocate kindness and keep what you say. This is what my mother taught me."

Mei Zhuoxue is weak, but no matter how many months of martial arts training, he is more than enough to deal with such a little boy, "You are shaking." He concentrated his legs to prevent Qiu Shangyun from pulling him ,"you are lying."

The two light and leisurely words were like two heavy hammers hitting Qiu Shangyun's heart. He lowered his eyes, let go of his hands, and pursed his lips suddenly as if he had made some determination, and knelt down in front of Mei Zhuoxue:
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to lie to you, I just... I just can't help it, I... Those white robes are not good people at all, and those so-called soul boys are just a way to deceive the world, just... ..."

"I know your status is unusual, can you help me, the younger sister who came with me is also in their hands, and she is about to die, I... I really have no choice but to come to you, I... I beg you, please!"

He knelt down and kowtowed as he spoke.

Mei Zhuoxue couldn't bear it, and helped him up: "Let's go, I'll let you go and have a look." Just in time, he also wanted to know what is going on in the National Teacher's Mansion.

The corridor is pitch black, and oil lamps are lit every three steps on the walls on the left and right sides.

Mei Zhuoxue and Qiu Shangyun kept walking downwards, passing through countless stone arches, until finally they could only walk forward half-bent.

"Wait a minute, we'll be there soon."

Qiu Shangyun led him across the stone threshold to an oval-shaped grotto, surrounded by countless shelves, on which were placed medicine bottles, tall and short, fat and thin, in different colors.The most conspicuous one in the middle is a huge sunken pool, but the color of the water in the pool is greenish, and I don't know what's in it, and occasionally there will be a few bubbles.

"That's the one."

Mei Zhuoxue followed Qiu Shangyun's direction and approached the pool. The dark green pool was bubbling, and a stench of stench hit her face directly.
