Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1864

That kind of handsomeness was truly enchanting, and was unlike what his master should look like.

Zhuo Qiran only learned about his master's miserable life from the manuscript. It all started with that face that caused so much trouble.

The manuscript fragments obscurely record that Ye Xun was abducted into a wealthy family because of her beauty when she was young. In that house with carved beams and painted rafters, the golden beast incense burner exhaled corrupt mist, and the sin wrapped in brocade spread under the candlelight.

He was originally an unbreakable green bamboo in the snow, but he was covered with bruises in his repeated struggles.

The powerful loved the humiliation reflected in his glass-like eyes, and they loved even more to crush such clarity into dust with their own hands.

That night, he bit off the ear of the man who shackled him and exchanged it for a bucket of boiling oil.

The sizzling flesh and the smell of burnt smoke filled the air. His face was twisted and peeling in pain, like a burnt painting.

Ye Xun did not scream, but just stared at the other person, the hatred in his eyes was hotter than hot oil.

He dragged his broken body and fled to the North Wing, where he wore a human skin mask and became a North Wing man.

The face under the mask was no longer human. Ye Xun learned how to use poison, how to raise poisonous insects, and how to let his enemies rot in despair.

When he returned to Liang State, the family that had imprisoned him suddenly died overnight. Their corpses turned black and poisonous insects crawled out of their seven orifices.

The powerful people who had left their "mark" on him also paid their debts one by one and in the most miserable way.

Ye Xun stood in the shadows, watching them wailing coldly, but he would never laugh again.

He told Zhuo Qiran, "I didn't even spare a three-year-old child. I was bloodthirsty."

Ye Xun spent the rest of his life in regret.

He said, "In this world, human hearts are the dirtiest things." Including his own heart, it is dirty and cannot be wiped clean.

He hated interacting with people, and even more so, hated taking in disciples.

Zhuo Qiran was the only exception - just because he had helped him once.

But even so, Ye Xun never really trusted Zhuo Qiran.

He taught him poison and witchcraft, but he always kept a trick up his sleeve. The suicide note he left behind after his death recorded what he had learned throughout his life.

Zhuo Qiran realized only then that his master was not afraid that he would not be able to learn, but was afraid that once he learned, he would kill him and be betrayed by him.

Ye Xun never believed in people's hearts, and of course he never really believed in Zhuo Qiran. Perhaps it could be said that he no longer trusted anyone.

It was at this moment that Zhuo Qiran realized that his desire to be trusted was an obsession he had inherited from his master.

He desperately needs to be trusted.

Now, the prince consort believes in him, and Bei Hui also believes in him.

Zhuo Qiran grinned, "Yiyi, do you believe me? If you do, I will teach you how to use poison to raise a Gu, raise a good Gu! Kindness can save people, just like that big white..."

They responded one by one, babbling and dancing.

When Bei Hui appeared again, it was to take Yi Yi back to her wet nurse.

Zhuo Qiran stared at her, making her face turn red.

"Why are you looking at me?" Bei Hui said angrily, grabbing Yi Yi and holding her in her arms.

"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?" Zhuo Qiran smiled. After a pause, he suddenly put his hand on her forehead and said seriously, "I will treat you well. You won't regret marrying me, really."

The sudden confession made Bei Hui's face hot and her heart beat fast. This was something she had never experienced from Wei Xingzhou before.

She even didn't want to ask him, "Tell me, what do you like about me?"

She was afraid to hear him say that she looked like so and so, so she just blurted out, "Then you should marry me sooner and don't regret it."

After saying that, she ran away with the child in her arms, leaving Zhuo Qiran alone, grinning foolishly.
