Chapter 2 Rebirth and Return

 The capital Chang'an official road, the west courtyard of the Duke of Ningguo Mansion. It is surrounded by pink walls and a small bamboo forest is surrounded by a stunning appearance, separating the yard from the noise outside.

After passing through the veranda hidden by bamboo forests, you can see the main house. A black golden nanmu plaque hung on the top of the red vermilion door, with the two big words "Qiju" written on it.

A woman was sleeping on the bed in the main room. Her hair was as white as a waterfall, her skin was almost transparent, and her head was covered with gauze, and blood could be seen faintly.

The gilded relief incense burner on the table spits out a curling smoke ring, neutralizing the fragrance of medicine in the air. The two maids were busy, and they could not hide their anxiety in their eyebrows.

"The girl has been unconscious for so long. What if she doesn't wake up again?" A maid wearing a goose yellow jacket and skirt wiped the woman on the bed and muttered.

"The girl was really hurt this time, and the weather was hot. I'm afraid she was caught in the heat for a long time. Lingfeng, you should first stare at the medicine simmered in the stove outside, and I'll call the doctor to come and take a look." Another maid wearing a blue shirt put down her work and turned to walk out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the bed suddenly spoke faintly, and his phoenix eyes slowly opened.

The two maids had extremely sharp ears. When they heard the sound, they rushed towards the bed, with a look of surprise: "The girl is awake, which makes me very worried."

As soon as Huo Qi opened his eyes, his thoughts were not clear yet, he saw two maids who had been following him since childhood - Lingfeng and Tingyu.

Her heart seemed to be soaked in Coptis chinensis, bitter and astringent. She was filled with poisonous wine. Two maids who had been with her since childhood came in with her, but they were afraid they would not have a good ending.

Now seeing you again in this underworld, I don’t know if you should hate God’s cruelty or thank it for its kindness.

A sudden headache was split. She touched her head and said in a daze: "I didn't expect that I would have a headache if I die. Didn't I mean that death is a ghost, ignorant?"

When Tingyu heard this, he touched Huo Qi's forehead and said anxiously: "Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, girl, must not say these unlucky words. We girls are very blessed people."

"Miss is probably frightened this time. Now that she wakes up, her wife knows it. I don't know how happy she should be." Lingfeng put a soft golden pillow behind Huo Qi, and helped her get up while smiling.

"What is riding a horse?" Huo Qi was a little puzzled, his mind was like a sludge.

"Girl, why don't you remember? You and the second young master and the second lady went out to ride the horse, but the horse suddenly went crazy. You fell off the horse and kowtowed to the point of your head, and fainted immediately. Today, you have been in a coma for more than three days. The master and his wife are anxious to get angry." Tingyu scratched his head and explained.

Huo Qi's doubts grew bigger and bigger. Looking around, he found that they were all familiar furnishings.

A shocked moment passed through my heart. Isn’t I dead? Why do I still feel it? The mansion of the Duke of Ningguo has long been sealed. How can I lie in the boudoir before getting married after drinking poisoned wine?

Holding the edge of the bed to support the bed, Huo Qi walked to the dressing table and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. Although he was still calm on the surface, he was shocked by huge waves in his heart.

Although the woman in the bronze mirror is very similar to her, her eyebrows and eyes are very childish and not covered with wind and frost. She is definitely not what she looks like now...

A bold guess slipped through my mind and went out to ride a horse with my second brother Huo Chi. Isn’t this happening eight years ago? Was he reborn?

She pinched her arm hard, but the pain that came made her feel happy.

The sky has eyes, and gave her another chance to come back!

The two maids were puzzled when they saw their girl's actions. They were worried in their eyebrows, but they said nothing.

Huo Qi turned his head and asked Lean Feng: "What is the year now?"

Lingfeng has always been steady. Although he didn't know what his girl intended, he still answered truthfully: "Miss, it's eighth year of Daxing now. What's wrong with you? Is it because you are not feeling good when you say such strange words?"

Eight years of Daxing... Countless fragments flashed through Huo Qi's mind. Eight years of Daxing, wasn't that eight years ago...

Huo Qi's eyes were deep and he couldn't help but think of some past events.

Her eldest brother Huo Xian has always been rebellious. Although he came from a family of civil officials, he wanted to join the army. Since she was eleven years old, she disobeyed her father's order and went to the frontier to guard and train, and was not at home all year round. Therefore, there were only Huo Qinglan and Huo Chi's two cousins ​​at home, so she got closer.

That year, Huo Qinglan and Huo Chi instigated her to go to the yard of Beijing to take a spring ride on horseback.

This yard in the suburbs of Beijing is set up by the emperor today, and is specially designed for royal children to ride horses and hunt. Some nobles, especially those who rely on the emperor, can also use tokens to enter and go in and out for fun.

Originally, Huo Qinglan and Huo Chi were not qualified to enter the yard with Huo Rushan's official position, but Huo Qi was also there and was able to complete the journey with the token of the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

At that time, she rode a horse for a few laps, but the always docile horse suddenly went crazy. She couldn't control it for a while, so she fell down and knelt on her head. She didn't say anything about it for half a month, but she almost broke her leg.

This suburb of Beijing is a royal land. If something happens to the royal territory, if there is any problem, it will cause huge waves and cause trouble for the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, in the last life, she only wanted to calm down the situation and took all the responsibility on her head, saying that she had fallen off the horse by accident, and then she gently exposed the matter.

But this incident was spread out, and some people in the capital even laughed at him. How could this eldest daughter of the Huo family have the style of aristocratic family?

It would be fine if the horsemanship was not hiding, but he actually fell off his horse in full view of the royal yard, throwing away the face of the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion.

She had been blaming herself for shame to the family. It took her mother a long time to relieve her heart.

But now she thinks about this matter again and thinks carefully, but finds that this matter is a bit unusual.

On the day of riding, she chose horses in the yard and wanted to choose a black horse. But Huo Qinglan advised her that the horse was too tall, so it was better to choose the maroon-red pony, and be more gentle.

Now it seems that Huo Qinglan must have been deliberately guiding, and I am afraid that the horse would have been tampered with. He only regretted that she did not know that people were sinister at that time and believed in this wolf-like cousin, so she did not notice that she fell into the trap for a while.

"Girl, what are you thinking? This time something happened to the girl in the yard. Yesterday, the master was sent to the palace by His Majesty and asked about it. I'm afraid that there will be some trouble in this matter." Hearing the rain saw that his girl was silent and interrupted Huo Qi's thoughts.

"Your Majesty must have an explanation for this matter, but who can bear this matter is not sure." Huo Qi stared at the tender face in the bronze mirror, closed his sleeves, and an unknown smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Ting Yu Lingfeng, let's go to the yard."

Both maids were shocked, and Tingyu was a little anxious: "Girl, you are in a good state, why are you going out?"

"I know my body in my heart, so I don't need to say much, change my clothes for me." Huo Qi said a little, but his tone was majesty that could not be disobeyed.

Huo Qi thought in his heart, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If you want others to know about the things in this world, you will not do it yourself. Now those villains in the gutter don’t know that she has woken up, so she will take him off guard while they are unprepared.
