I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

On the other side, Lingxing, the old house of the Huo family.

Across the manor is a stretch of mountains, which is also part of the Huo family's old house.

At this time, the maple leaves in the mountains are turning red, and the forests are gradually dyed red. From a distance, it looks like a burning fire.

Qi Yan and Huo Linyuan are now on a flying vehicle, flying to the back mountain.

"The person you want to take me to see is in the mountains?" Qi Yan turned his head and asked, looking at the hot and intense red maple forest below.

Huo Linyuan lowered his head, and his long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids.

He held Qi Yan's hand, played with it in his palm, and uttered a faint "hmm".

Qi Yan looked at him steadily, as if he had been a little absent-minded since entering the back mountain.

But this time Qi Yan surprisingly did not ask, because he had a hunch that this was related to the person Huo Linyuan wanted to take him to meet.

Along the way, he obediently let Huo Linyuan play with his hands and was extremely quiet.

It was not until the aircraft stopped steadily in front of a wooden house on the top of the mountain that Qi Yan realized that there was actually a residence here.

Huo Linyuan got off the aircraft first, then stood below and stretched out his hand to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan was stunned and slowly put her hand into his palm.

In front of the wooden house, there was a flight of stairs paved with bluestone. Huo Linyuan held his hand and walked up the stairs towards the wooden house.

For some reason, Qi Yan suddenly felt a sense of solemnity in his heart.

In the past, when he saw such natural beauty, he would have run to the front and then jumped up and down to call Huo Linyuan to hurry up.

Because of illness in his previous life, Qi Yan rarely had the opportunity to participate in outdoor sports, and climbing to the top of the mountain and being surrounded by the forest like this was a unique experience.

However, facing this situation, he just wanted to follow Huo Linyuan quietly. All the surrounding scenes seemed to become fleeting shadows in his eyes.

"This is my mother's former residence." Huo Linyuan said slowly.

His voice was not as cold as usual, but it was not warm either. Instead, it was like a pot of wine that had been buried underground for many years, with a deep and melodious voice like the sedimentation of time.

Qi Yan couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, and then she heard him say slowly:

"Her name was Huo Xuanshuang, and she passed away when I was less than one year old."

"My impression of her actually comes more from other people's descriptions."

Qi Yan felt a little distressed and subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand, as if she wanted to give him some strength in this way.

Huo Linyuan scratched his palm, tilted his head and smiled at him, then said:

"Many years ago, she was the most courageous and skilled general in the empire, in charge of the First Legion of the empire. Under her leadership, the First Legion was almost invincible."

"The interstellar people once regarded her as the best choice for the next Imperial Marshal."

But she did not become the imperial marshal in the end, and passed away early. It was because of this that A Yuan grew up without a mother.

Perhaps because she already knew the ending, Qi Yan couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted when she heard this again.

Huo Linyuan knew very well how cold his childhood was, but he was unable to help warm that time for him.

Perhaps Qi Yan's emotions were too obvious, Huo Linyuan stopped, faced him, then lowered his head and gently tapped his forehead with his forehead.

Qi Yan covered her head and looked at him in confusion, but she saw a smile in his eyes, twinkling like stars, as if to say "it's all over".

In fact, when Huo Linyuan set foot here again, he had already felt relieved. Perhaps he did complain about it in the past, so that he never set foot in the back mountain again after growing up.

But now he has Qi Yan. To him, Qi Yan is the light in his life, filling all the shortcomings in his life.

So even the scars that were once the most difficult to look at are no longer "shocking".

Huo Linyuan turned around and looked straight ahead, and Qi Yan noticed that they had arrived at the door of the wooden house.

"Then she fell in love with a man who changed her faith and her life."

As he spoke, Huo Linyuan reached out and pushed open the long-closed door.

The house is decorated very simply, and because of the intelligent cleaning system, even though no one has lived here for many years, it is still as clean as new.

Huo Linyuan took Qi Yan directly to the second floor. The layout of the second floor was completely different from the first floor, which was full of life. It looked like a small library.

There are paper books piled everywhere on the desk and in the corners of the room.

In addition, there are rows of bookshelves neatly arranged in front of the surrounding walls, and the bookshelves are filled with books.

Those books were exactly the same as those in Qi Yan's previous life in terms of texture and cover. What surprised Qi Yan even more was that he actually found Chinese books among them.

But before Qi Yan could release his curiosity, his attention was drawn to Huo Linyuan's next words.

"They met in a battle. The man first appeared beside her as a soldier. They experienced life and death and desperate situations together, and finally got together."

"But a relationship built on lies will not last forever, after the war is won and we return triumphantly."

"She saw the man again at a commendation ceremony held by the royal family. At that time, he was the heir to the throne, and she was the eldest daughter of the Huo family, who was feared by the royal family."

Qi Yan was shocked when he heard this, and a terrible guess slowly formed in his mind.

He looked at Huo Linyuan and felt his throat tighten, unable to make a sound.

Huo Linyuan gently held him in his arms and rested his head on his shoulder.

This should have been a posture of being in a weak position and seeking comfort, but at this moment it seemed more like Huo Linyuan was comforting him.

"From a biological point of view, half of Si Yue's blood flows in my body."

When narrating these things, Huo Linyuan's voice was always calm, as if he was not talking about his own life experience, but an unrelated story.

Qi Yan had wanted to ask about his life experience many times before, but was always interrupted by various things.

However, when he learned the truth, he was not as happy as he had imagined. Instead, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Those words in the original text, the emperor's suspicion, coercion, and frame-up, all turned into sharp knives that stabbed into Qi Yan's heart.

And he actually told Huo Linyuan all of this in detail.

Did those cold words and suffocating scenes also pierce his heart?

At this moment, Qi Yan could no longer hold back his tears. He felt even more miserable than if he had been wronged.

Huo Linyuan felt the warmth on his chest and was slightly startled, and was about to let go, but Qi Yan held him tightly, not letting him go.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Qi Yan's voice was muffled.

Huo Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled softly: "Silly boy, it's all over."

"If I must have a father, it can only be Huo Xiu Ze."

Qi Yan didn't know what he was feeling right now. For the first time, he hated his fate a little bit, and felt sad and distressed for Huo Linyuan.

He didn't expect that when the bloody plot in the novel happened to the person he loved most, it would be so hard to accept.
