The servant looked up and down, but did not put down his work. The brush in his hand squeaked with scales, without paying attention to her intentions.
Hua Feng cursed in his heart: "It turns out that the servants in this family are all jealous of money." He still smiled on his face, took out a few pieces of silver and stuffed it into his mother's pocket: "Grandma, please make peace with me. Come and see my sister from afar, want to see her work in the mansion, so I'll go back."
The old mother paused her hands and said angrily: "A scar-faced woman who was washing dishes came last month."
"Thank you, that's my sister." Hua Fan turned around and left with a respectful look, her heart was already cold as if it was ice cellar.
She was already very familiar with Lu Xiu when she was in Chang'an. When she left Chang'an's clothes and reached out and opened her mouth, she was like a useless man. In Su Yang's six years, Lu Xiu took care of her life. She pulled her out of a room like a mass graveyard and asked her to go downstairs to have dinner. She always had a clear face and a green sleeve, like a cup of wheat tea that calmed the spirit, which always made the flower bloom feel at ease.
In the place where the dishes were washed, Hua Chuang hesitated for a moment and stepped into the courtyard. The pots and pans removed from the banquet were piled up like mountains, and a thin figure was buried in the pile of dishes. There were so many servants in the Liu Mansion, and only one person did such rough work, so she was obviously excluded. Hua Chuang felt that her pace was a little slow and she could not move forward neatly.
Under the moonlight and the oil lamp, her brushing movements seemed very tired. Hua Feng finally walked forward a few steps, "Embroidery" and she called her nickname, but her voice was trembling.
Green sleeves' back was stunned for a moment, "Bang", the big plate and brush at hand fell into the pool in front of her. The harsh collision sounds reminded her that the water stains were all over her. Hua Feng hurried forward.
"Don't come over!" Green Sweet stopped her, "I have a wound on my face."
Hua Feng paused, and without stopping, walked to the position behind her, and turned around again.
"Wipe quickly, it's cold at night." Hua turned her back and stuffed a handkerchief to Green Sleeve.
Green Sweets did not take it over. The noise of the front hall came from the night sky, and her voice seemed particularly cold. "I'm all dying, so where can I care if I'm cold?"
"Don't do this..." Hua Feng knew that Green Sweets were a person who loved beauty as much as his life. When he was in Su Yang, he piled up a room of rouge and water powder and dressed up carefully every day. "The lotus is like a face, willows, and eyebrows." He is talking about a beauty like her.
"Is he doing it?" Hua Pan asked tentatively after a long time.
Green Sweet was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Actually, I am like you, not a human." She said slowly, "I am a demon clan, a branch called Shui Qilin among the demon clan."
Hua Fanxin said that Yanhong and Tears said that the Water Qilin is also a very rare demon clan. Compared with Bai Ze’s good use of fire, the Water Qilin makes good use of water. In war, it can flood the city and help the army break through the city gate. It can also freeze the river or melt in advance, allowing the army to cross the river and block the enemy’s way.
Lu Xiu continued, "When I was in my teens, my parents died, and I was the only one left in the clan. At that time, Li Yuting found me and promised me a rich and generous manner, so that I could go to Chang'an. At that time, I felt that he was the best person in the world."
"Later, he finally told me that he wanted me to find something, it was an edict."
Hua Feng was stunned. Sure enough, Li Yuting used the demon clan to find the whereabouts of the Five Colored Edict.
"In addition to using water technicians, the demon clan of Water Qilin also has sensitive sensing. For example, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a demon clan." Green sleeves looked at Hua Feng, and the light was dim and could not see her face clearly. "I can sense the existence of all demon clans, and I have become more sensitive to the Five-Colored Edict. A few months ago, I learned where the edict was."
"Where?" Hua asked after a moment of silence.
Lu Xiu did not answer, "I don't want to say it." She said. Hua Fan also understood that she no longer trusted Li Yuting, so how could she trust herself? So she stopped asking.
"And I can no longer judge the position of the Five Color Edict now." She suddenly turned around and faced the flower-turning. Under the moonlight, her pretty face was covered with two curled scars, covering her once charming eyes like autumn water. The night flashed, and the two shocking scars seemed even more ferocious and terrifying.
"Shui Qilin's life gate is in his eyes. He burned my eyes and my superpowers were also nullified." Green Suit's voice trembled slightly.
Hua Fei was so surprised that she was at a loss and wanted to say something comforting, but she couldn't say a word. The scar was so shocking that she could no longer recall the bright smiles. Before she knew it, her face was already wet and tears were falling.
Hua Ban took the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head quickly and wiped it off, and said in a concealment: "It's windy at night."
"It's okay," said Lu Xiu, "I want to cry now but I don't even cry." Hua Feng was even more at a loss. The wind blew the dim broken oil lamp, and her beautiful facial features were more vividly compared to the ugly scars.
All the words Hua Fan thought about asking were blocked in his heart, leaving only a long silence.
"Have Li Yuting received the Five-Colored Edict?" Yan Honglei asked. He had escaped from the night banquet at some point.
Hua Pan quickly hinted that he shut up, but Yanhongqing was unmoved and continued to ask: "Although you don't know the whereabouts of the Five Colors Edict now, do you always know that it has fallen into Li Yuting's hands?"
Green sleeves were silent, without saying a word, and the air seemed to solidify in an instant.
"What if I don't want to tell you?" Lu Xiu finally said, "Even if you save my life, I don't want to tell you about him."
Hua Fan then realized that it was Yanhong Tears who saved Green Sweet.
"You can just say nothing, but you also know your current situation. Li Yuting is suspicious by nature and may have discovered that you are pretending to die. Can you hide such obvious scars easily?"
Yanhonglei continued, "You may be found by Li Yuting at any time and then killed. In that case, no one will ask you where the Five Colors Edict will go. Li Yuting will get it as he wishes and declare that he is the master of destiny in the world."
"But we all understand that with Li Yuting's power, dealing with Shangguan Jinnian is to hit the stone with eggs. Shangguan Jinnian will definitely attack him at all costs. At that time, the world will probably be bloody again. If Li Yuting hits his shit, he can be in a stalemate for a year or two, if it's a coincidence-----"
Green Essay looked very uneasy, and her fingers tightly held the apron covered with water stains. Yanhong Tears ignored it and continued,
"If it's a coincidence, just his little force will be eaten up by Shangguan Jinnian in ten days and half a month, and there will be no residue left." Yan Honglei turned her head to signal Hua Fan, saying, "We know that you have not yet fallen in love with the prince, but is this the ending you want to see?"
"Stop talking!" Under the moonlight, Green Embroidered's face was slightly red.
"Embroidered Embroidery" flower turned over the conversation, she took off her outer shirt and draped it on Green Embroidery. Her water was already very cold.
Hua flipped her eyes to see Yanhonglei. In fact, she was very reluctant to be this villain lobbyist. But now that the situation is forced, the noise in the front hall is in my ears. They can't stay here for too long. If someone breaks in, no one can leave, it will inevitably become a big trouble.
"Embroidery" she said: "We are all demons, and they are the last bloodline in the family. No matter who falls into Li Yuting or Shangguan Jinnian, the world will be filled with blood. No matter who it is, no matter who it is, it will not give the demons a way out."
Hua Fan looked at the green embroidery now, as if she saw herself six years ago, and couldn't help but feel a little choked up, "I know what you think. You have not yet loved him and don't want to betray him. I'm the same as you."
"The reason why I went to find the five-colored edict against Shangguan Jinnian was because I wanted to find the edict and then destroy it." Hua Fang's tone was plain but very firm.
Yanhonglei looked at Huafan in surprise. He had always believed that Huafan was looking for the five-colored edict for the family mission.
Green Embroidered's back also trembled slightly in surprise.
"Only in this way can our demons have a way out, and we don't have to be bound by destiny all the time, and we don't have to be used by them." Hua Fan said.
"I tell you." Lu Xiu finally said, "But you have to promise me not to hurt him. If you get the Five Colors Edict, you will destroy it immediately."
Hua Ban breathed a sigh of relief.
Green Embroidery calmed down and slowly spoke a place name.
Flowers and smoke and red tears look at each other and remember them silently.
The night wind became even colder, and the courtyard was not a place to stay for a long time. Hua Feng helped Green Embroider stand up. Yan Honglei recited a spell to wear gold and stone. After a short while, they walked through the hidden backyard of the Zhang family and came to the countryside outside the back wall. A carriage was ready to be there.
