Stay calm, don't panic, Her Royal Highness the Princess is going to reveal more news

Chapter 197 The coexistence of goodwill and bad intentions

When he was ten years old, he went hunting in the mountains with his father. After they came back, his father died of malaria, but he was unharmed.

When he was twelve years old, he went to sell mountain products with his mother, who shouldered the burden of the family. On the way back, his mother unfortunately fell off a cliff and died.

He once again had a close brush with death.

When I was fifteen, my sister got married.

When he was getting married, he was robbed by robbers. Most of the people in the wedding procession died and the rest were injured.

But he was well protected by his sister and was unharmed.

But his sister died in front of him.

He is the only one left in the family of four.

From then on, he became the scourge of the village and everyone wanted to kill him.

No one was willing to accept him.

After a fire, he lost his home and began to wander.

On the way, he met his master, who taught him astronomy and geography, and taught him how to observe the sky and tell fortunes.

His master was the national teacher invited by Xirong in the past.

However, before reaching Xirong, he collapsed on the way due to food poisoning.

But that pot of food was clearly for him and his master to eat together.

He therefore took over his master's mantle and became the national teacher of Xirong.

Perhaps he was destined to be alone.

Thinking of this, Hua Li touched the mask on his cheek.

He wore the mask not for mystery but because he was afraid of being recognized.

He didn't want to insult his master's reputation.

He did a good job as the national teacher and helped the Xirong survive several disasters.

But in this process, anyone in the Western Rong royal court who gets too close to him will encounter misfortune.

It can range from a minor illness to a serious death.

He is the most honorable national teacher of Xirong and also the most feared person in the royal court of Xirong.

They feared him but never approached him.

The people serving him would be replaced every few days.

He became a real loner.

Until half a year ago, his hexagram told him that the future of Xirong lay in the East, in Dachen.

He facilitated the surrender of the Western Rong.

But he was very confused.

He had calculated for Emperor Dachen and found that the True Son of Tianlong was invaluable.

Master once said that such a fate can often suppress some disaster fates.

That was why he came to Dachen and recommended himself, hoping to use the emperor's fate to suppress his own misfortunes.

In fact, he succeeded.

In the past few months since he came to Dachen, no one around him has gotten into trouble.

So even if he is a puppet national master in this life, he is willing to do so.

He didn't want anyone else to die because of him.

Ji Qionghua didn’t know what the other person was thinking, but she could see the sadness lingering around Hua Li.

[But your family's accident has nothing to do with you. ]

Metaphysics really exists, but the death of Hua Li’s family has nothing to do with metaphysics.

The little princess' words made Hua Li's pupils tremble.

He couldn't help but look at the other person, only to see that he was sitting upright in the chair, stroking his chin in thought.

The moonlight outside the window fell on Ji Qionghua's back, making her look like a goddess in the sky, unattainable.

[Your father did not die of malaria, but was bitten by a newly born venomous snake while in the mountains.]

[Your father was completely unaware, and the wound was too shallow.]

[After the toxin takes effect, you will mistake it for malaria. ]

[In fact, there was a big snake in the snake den at that time. If you hadn't scared the snake away, your father would have been bitten.]

【By then, you will die on the spot! 】

【You actually let your father live a little longer. 】

That venomous snake is very fierce. The toxin carried by the young snake can kill people.

After all, Hua Li helped his father steal some more time.

Hua Li opened her mouth.

He never thought that this was the reason for his father's death.

[Your mother fell off the cliff not because she slipped, but because she was ill. ]

[…It’s a cerebral infarction.]

[If you hadn't fallen off the cliff that day, what you would have brought back would no longer be a complete mother, but a patient who would be paralyzed in bed and unable to speak for the rest of her life.]

[The key is that this illness will continue to torture her, making her life worse than death. ]

[And your mother will never allow herself to become a burden to your family, and she doesn't want to live in pain. ]

【This is unfortunate, but also fortunate. 】

[It has nothing to do with you either.]

There will be no filial son by the bedside of a patient for a long time. This saying is not just saying.

Of course, she did not deny Hua Li's filial piety.

It is the patient's wish.

Some patients would rather end it like that than lie in bed for the rest of their lives, and eventually drain their life away bit by bit in endless torture.

Sometimes, a quick death is not painful, but a relief.

Hua Li was in deep thought.

He was willing to take care of his mother, but could he ignore her wishes and force her to suffer year after year?

he does not know.

[And your sister, she was seriously injured when she blocked the knife for you, but she didn't die. ]

[She was later revived, but she lost her memory due to a brain injury and was unable to remember you.]

[But this is not bad. You know, the husband she chose is not a good person.]

[He was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He lost all his family fortune in two years and contracted a lot of diseases.]

[On the other hand, your sister, after losing her memory, got together with the doctor who saved her. They are living a happy life, supporting each other and raising children.]

My sister is not dead!

This is incredible to Hua Li.

Great joy welled up in his heart.

He wished he could divine where his sister was right now.

But he held back.

My sister still hasn't been able to think of him and lives a carefree life.

If he forcibly went to look for his sister, would it interfere with her destiny and cause her to lose everything she had now?

He was timid after all.

After going through so much, he no longer asks for anything. As long as his sister is happy, that's enough.

【As for your master...】

[Oh, he ate poisonous grass. The poisonous grass grows in your hometown. People in your village have always had the habit of eating poisonous grass, and over time they have developed resistance to the poison.]

【Those who didn't produce anything have already died, and those who survived have passed it down from generation to generation. 】

[You were not poisoned to death, it was all thanks to your ancestors. ]

[As for those people in the royal court, someone is deliberately using your reputation to kill people, and it has nothing to do with you.]

When all the truth came to light, Hua Li suddenly realized that everything he had believed in was collapsing.

His family members were not killed by him.

Hua Li's fingers holding the teacup were trembling, and the scalding hot tea spilled onto his wrist, but he seemed not to notice.

He reached out and touched his cheek again.

Only he knew what an ugly face was underneath the mask.

[Oh, and those scars on your face are not a punishment from God, nor are they retribution from vengeful ghosts.]

[Weren't you burned by fire? ]

[When your house caught fire, it was because you didn't put out the candles when you went to bed, and didn't close the windows. The wind blew at night and the curtains hit the flames, which caused the fire.]

[It was the people in the village who rescued you. 】

[After you left, the villagers looked for you for a long time. ]

They were afraid of Hua Li's so-called "hard life" and her bad luck to others, but they were also worried about whether Hua Li could live alone.

Goodwill and malice, contradictory and coexisting.
