As soon as the curtain was lifted, I could see clearly what she was now.

And the moment I saw her clearly, I froze.

Nangong Lizhu in front of me was still the same as before. Although it was a little pale, thinner and haggard, the beauty of a real beauty was not so easy to be damaged. Standing in front of me, she was still fascinating, like a flower, a painting, and an exquisite and moist porcelain, which made people cautious, for fear that it would destroy this beauty once it moved, and would break her when it touched.

However, at this moment, a crack appeared on the originally perfect porcelain.

There was a scar on her right cheek.

I gasped and looked at her with wide eyes, but couldn't believe what I saw. She, tremblingly, took my gaze. After I looked at her for a while, it seemed as if I couldn't bear my gaze.

Her hand holding the pearl curtain was used to force it, and the curtain was torn off by her.

Those pearls were scattered and crackling, as if something was shattered all over the floor.

When I opened my mouth, my throat was hoarse, and I could find my voice for a while: "You, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? Heh--"

She smiled, but this smile was even more heartbreaking than crying. I had even seen tears rolling in her eyes, but it did not flow down.

Maybe she shed enough tears.

My brows were tightened.

It is true that I can't say that I have any good feelings for her until now, especially the hostile relationship between tit-for-tat and you and no self. Even if I could barely be considered calm in the palace before, it was not considered reconciliation. However, the four hearts of a person still exist after all. Any normal person will have a pleasant impression of beautiful things and hope to protect them. When seeing beautiful things being destroyed and destroyed, you will eventually feel reluctant and compassion.

So, when I saw that dazzling scar appeared on her beautiful face, I still felt a little sad.

I frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

“…”

"Who hurt you?"

“…”

"Didn't it before, when I left the imperial city-?"

At that time, the war was in chaos and the swords were not open. Could it be that someone accidentally injured at that time?

Nangong Lizhu sneered: "If that's the case, then I'll accept my fate."

No? I became more confused and more uneasy.

"Who is that?"

“…”

"Who hurts your face?"

She was trembling violently, as if she had returned to a nightmare scene. After a while, she finally slowly squeezed out three words from her teeth.

"Han————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

My heart sank: "What did you say? Is Han Zitong?"

Could it be that she was really so cruel and ruthless, for Pei Yuanxiu, or in other words, in order not to let anyone intervene between Pei Yuanxiu and her sister, she actually used such a ruthless move against Nangong Lizhu?

Nangong Lizhu gritted her teeth and almost smacked her silver teeth, saying fiercely: "At that time, I had just arrived in Jinling not long ago. Of course, I didn't want to stay here. I didn't want to stay with them. I wanted to go back to the capital and go back to the emperor, so I - I make a fuss every day, keep making trouble. They put me under house arrest."

"Then, how did they hurt you?"

"It wasn't long after that, they suddenly said something."

"What's up?"

"Recognize your relatives by dropping blood."

“…!”

"I don't know why, but they suddenly talked about this. I don't know why I wanted to recognize my relatives, and who to recognize my relatives, but suddenly one day, a group of people came to me and said they wanted to take something from me."

“…”

"Of course I refused to submit, but as soon as I resisted, they immediately controlled me and wanted to take the blood from my body."

My breathing was frozen.

Nangong Lizhu trembled even harder, and even her voice was trembling, as if she had returned to that day, the day that broke her heart to death: "As a result, they cut off my arms and took my blood."

"Then the wound on your face-"

"After taking my blood, they left me this."

Nangong Lizhu said, tremblingly stretched out his hand, gently stroked the scar on his face, and said in pain: "After that, they also said that it was because I struggled, that I accidentally injured me."

“…”

"Because I kept making trouble before, everyone believed their words, and believed that it was because I struggled to resist and made them miss the situation, which left this injury."

“…”

"So, I became, I took my own blame and deserved the sin!"

As she talked about it, the more she felt more and more painful, and in the end she couldn't even talk. She looked like she was kneeling on the ground like a collapse. I couldn't say anything for a moment, just looked at her silently.

I still vaguely remember that when she was in the palace, she was pregnant, but she caused trouble because she wanted to murder Chang Qing and was pushed back and miscarried by Yuwen. She really blamed her for that incident and deserved her sin. I didn't feel pitiful, but this time, seeing her in pain, an indescribable bitterness rose in my heart.

However, there is also a slightest bit of doubt.

Speaking of which, the moment I saw her injured and was injured on my face, that possibility came to my mind. After all, when Han Zitong saw me for the first time, she wanted to kill me for her sister. It was not surprising that she would attack Nangong Lizhu again.

But more than why, I always feel a little... uneasy in my heart.

Could it be that it is really Han Zitong!

It was really Han Zitong who destroyed Nangong Lizhu's appearance!

She would really do such a thing for her sister?!

But why do I think she seems-

My heart was constantly entangled, and then I looked down at Nangong Lizhu curled up in pain. I knew it was not necessary, but there was still a feeling of indescribable and unexplained pity in my heart.

After a long time, I sighed softly.

I think I still can't stand my heart after all.

I bent down and helped her up with her arm. I felt that she was painful and weak, and it was almost difficult to stand up. I could only support her and help her walk to the bed to sit down. Along the way, I stepped on the beads and knocked down a lot of things, and the crackling sounds were heard.

When she sat back on the bed, I stood aside and remained silent for a while before asking, "Are you really sure it's Han Zitong?"

"If it's not her, who else will there be? She and her sister are the head of Jinling Mansion, and many things are left to her."

“…”

This time, I have nothing to say, after all, she is the one who follows Pei Yuanxiu to Xichuan.

I glanced around the room and said, "Then have you been here all these days?"

"What can I do if I'm not here?"

“…”

"I'm not like you. I don't have that much ability and can come and go freely."

I was silent for a moment, then lowered my voice and said, "But I still want to thank you."

She was covering her face, but her shoulders twitched slightly at this time.

I said, "I received the news from Xiao Yusheng. He said that when Jiu Lao left here, he was almost discovered, but after receiving the cover of a woman, he hid in the mansion next to Jinling Mansion, he avoided the search of the guards."

“…”

"I didn't know who he was talking about before, but now I know that it was you."

“…”

She didn't say anything, just lowered her head.

I said seriously: "Thank you."

Nangong Lizhu was silent for a long time, and then said, "Don't thank me."

“…”

"I just don't want to give up on myself."

“…”

"I just remember what you said to me back then."

"What……?"

"Don't let my opponent achieve the purpose he wants."

Hearing this sentence, I smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, just a word to fool her back then would make her remember so deeply. Even after so many years, she helped me by chance because of this sentence.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu raised her head and looked at me and said, "That old man has left safely now, right? Is he okay?"

I was slightly stunned.

I didn't expect that when she was in such pain, she even took a little attention and asked Lao Yao for his safety.

In fact, until now, I have not told her the truth about her life experience, but I think I can guess some of it with her keenness, but I don’t think she knows the relationship between Yao Lao and her, otherwise I just asked me, so I shouldn’t have such a tone.

Perhaps, there are always some things that are destined.

For example, the feeling of blood connection.

I looked back and saw that the doors and windows of the room were closed, and I didn't speak loudly to her. Even if there were people outside who listened to the corner of the wall, they shouldn't be able to hear the conversation between us clearly. But I stopped carefully for a while before turning back to look at Nangong Lizhu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "He is fine. My people rescued him, and according to their steps, they should be about to return to Xichuan."

"oh……"

"I will find a way to help him contact the people from Miaoshanmen."

“…”

"He has good medical skills, and I want him to save someone."

Nangong Lizhu frowned and looked at me, for some reason why I suddenly told her about these things - something that was almost inexplicable and had nothing to do with her.

Speaking of this, I stopped myself, looked at her slightly frowning brows, and I hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Nangong Lizhu, do you know who the old man you saved me?"
