The medical journey is long, it is too difficult for my concubine

On the cold bluestone path, a man's even footsteps sounded from far to near.Occasionally, a few domestic servants walking with their heads down saw him from a distance, and they immediately stopped and saluted him very respectfully, but this man seemed to be preoccupied with something, and walked straight in one direction.

His footsteps stopped in front of a quiet room, and there was no sound of arguing behind the closed door as he expected, but it was very quiet.He took a deep breath and pushed open the door expressionlessly.

The first thing that came into view was He Xuqing who was tied to a chair by Wuhuada.She lowered her head slightly, her eyes fixed on an indeterminate point on the ground, all her hair was scattered on her shoulders, making her look even more pitiful against her thin shoulders.It's just that even though she was in such an embarrassing situation, she still exuded a kind of indifferent tranquility, which was incompatible with the atmosphere in this quiet room.

She doesn't struggle or resist, but she has the backbone of not admitting defeat, as if she can think of a way to resist in the next moment, this kind of ready-to-go reaction is more powerful than rebelliousness.

"Master—" A maid came forward with a tray, he looked down at the contents of the tray, it was the hairband that He Xuqing once tied on his head.He stretched out a finger to pick up the hair band, raised his eyelids slightly to look at He Xuqing, and couldn't help slightly curling up the corners of his mouth, with a hint of admiration in his tone: "It's not bad, you have already done it in such a short period of time." Learned to fight back?"

He Xuqing had already raised her head when the maid opened her mouth. Seeing Li Qingyan standing in front of her, she couldn't help frowning. Hearing his words now made her feel full of sarcasm.

"There's no need to talk so much nonsense, it's my bad luck to fall into your hands, and you can dispose of it as you please." He Xuqing said coldly.

"I said, I won't hurt you." Li Qingyan waved his hand, and the maids bowed their heads and came out in a file, leaving only the two of them in the room.With some doubts in He Xuqing's eyes, Li Qingyan untied her with his own hands, and then sat across from her.

He Xuqing rubbed her tied arms, which were a little sore, and looked at Li Qingyan suspiciously.She couldn't figure out what he meant, and she didn't know what his purpose was.

"Those two people have left." Li Qingyan poured two cups of tea on his own, and brought one cup to He Xuqing, "Moisturize your throat a little bit, the medicine just now is not good for your throat. Now that the medicine is over, We can also negotiate terms.”

"What do you want to say?" He Xuqing looked at him vigilantly, but didn't touch the cup of tea that he pushed over.

"You should have heard Xian Yu Zijun's words just now. You, the 'Master', cares a lot about you—he wouldn't show such a gaffe if he were a different person." Li Qingyan chuckled inexplicably.

"And the bet I made with him, to let you stay by my side for a month, to see what you would choose—Xian Yu Zijun not only refused, but judging by his appearance, he will probably do whatever it takes to get you out of here." Take it here."

"That's because he doesn't want to see me being controlled by you." He Xuqing said coldly.

"That's true." Li Qingyan raised his chin and looked at He Xuqing with a smile on his face, and continued: "He just wants to hide you well, and tie you tightly with all kinds of woven lies. You completely let go of your guard against him, and he starts to take advantage of you as it should be."

"This is just your one-sided opinion." He Xuqing snorted.

"You can say that. But I never like to waste time on useless things. I can tell you clearly that I will not hurt you, and I will give you everything you want and help you Find your past and provide you with corresponding protection. I will not hide you like Xian Yu Zijun did. My only condition is that you stay by my side." Li Qingyan looked directly into her eyes Said.

The clear determination in Li Qingyan's eyes made He Xuqing slightly startled, and his words made her even more puzzled.She was silent for a while, looking back into his eyes, as if she wanted to see the depths of his heart: "What do you want from me?"

"When you recover your memory, you will know what you can give me." Li Qingyan said.

"You kept saying that everything Xianyu Zijun did was to take advantage of me, now it seems that you are not like that?" He Xuqing raised her voice slightly.

"Frankly speaking, it's true." Unexpectedly, Li Qingyan nodded, but then he added: "The difference between me and Xian Yu Zijun is that I won't hide anything from you. , I will clearly tell you everything about you. I need to get some use value from you. Similarly, you can also ask for equivalent value from me. From this level, we are equal partnership."

"However, if you prefer Xian Yu Zijun's method of whitewashing deceit with the friendship between master and apprentice, you can also choose to go back to him and let him imprison you again in a place like Xuwu Mountain. , Let you completely isolate the outside world, ignore the blank past at all, the whole world only revolves around him, and be content to be a pet on his lap." Li Qingyan's tone was unhurried, but his eyes were full of sharpness.

"Whitewashed peace, or cruel truth, you choose one. I don't force you. The moment you decide to do well, it may be the beginning of our cooperation. I will give you a day to think about it. What problems do you think of during this period? , you can come and ask me anytime." Li Qingyan finally pushed the cup of tea in the direction of He Xuqing, stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"Wait, how do you prove that you will keep the promise you just said in the future?" He Xuqing stopped him at the last moment.

"If you don't believe me, you will doubt the reasons I say. There are not so many certain things in the world. I can only tell you that I will try my best to do everything I have said, and that's all. What choice do you have to make? It's up to you." Li Qingyan said.

The door creaked, and Li Qingyan's figure disappeared by the door, leaving He Xuqing alone, and she was still immersed in her own thoughts, her brows were tightly furrowed.

What is the whitewashed peace, the truth she wants, and how cruel is it?

She understands that her choice may have a huge impact on her future path, and it is precisely because of this that she has to be more cautious.

She kept thinking about the encounters between Xian Yu Zijun and her, and he gently told her, let the past go, don't think about it anymore.Master is by your side and will always protect you from harm.

Li Qingyan told her that if she didn't know the blankness of the past, she would never be able to find her true self, and would always be in a situation of being deceived.He clearly stated that the relationship between them was mutual use, and his tone was objective and cold.

And she... He Xuqing raised her arms to embrace herself, buried her head between her knees, and curled up in a ball on the chair, as if she could only feel at ease in this way.

She wants to know what her past was like, and she wants to live clearly.
