Chapter 232: Fu Zimo's Growth

In Fu Zi Mo's bedroom, the furnishings were simple yet luxurious. Several aged paintings adorned the walls, and a half-person-high porcelain vase sat on the floor. At first glance, it seemed devoid of excessive decoration, but every single item was worth a fortune. 。When Qin Luoyan first heard Jin Mu talk about these things, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. 。

By the bedside, Qin Luoyan used a clean cotton cloth to wipe away the remaining marks on his arm. The wound had been treated by a doctor and bandaged simply. Although the bleeding had stopped, the wound still looked rather frightening.

"I wish I hadn't let Doctor Chen go back so early." 。Fuzi Mo watched her movements and casually said: 。Qin Luoyan shook her head, "You have the nerve to say that, I've never seen myself stabbing myself before" 。"

Fu Zimo smiled, his smile bewitching, "It seems you're worried about this King"

Qin Luoyan gave him a white glance and didn't say a word.

Worried Of course, you are. After all, he's Xiao Yujing's biological father. If something happened to him, wouldn't Xiao Yujing be too pitiful But, is it really just for Xiao Yujing

She lowered her head and continued with what she was doing, wiping the bloodstains on his arm clean. After washing the cotton cloth in clean water and hanging it on a shelf beside her, she pulled up a stool and sat at the bedside, facing Fu Zimuo directly, and said in a solemn voice: "Now can you tell me what really happened" 。“ Fu Zi Mo stared at her meaningfully for a while, “In broad daylight, you threw yourself into my arms, what do you think Aren't you afraid that I'll be angry and kill you” He didn't answer Qin Luo Yan's words, but instead asked such a question. 。Qin Luo'yan sighed deeply, and talking to Fu Zimu was always like this. He would only answer your question after knowing what you wanted to know. "In that situation, I couldn't think about anything else. And I always felt that the longer it took, the fewer chances I had to see you in the future, so I just decided to take a gamble." 。However, judging from the results, I was right. 。A man who constantly demands endlessly from me, even if he's mentally unsound, I believe his body is honest. 。"

"Heh..." Fu Zimo couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words, "I really didn't expect there to be a woman like you who..." 。Qin LuoYan was too lazy to argue with him. Just stating the facts—wasn't he shameless Then what did he want from her every day He enjoyed it, and still wanted to maintain the demeanor of a gentleman Hypocritical! “But you do know me very well!” Fu ZiMo suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, then leaned in close, his gaze fixed on her eyes, “And you are very perceptive.” 。"

Qin Luoyan suddenly opened his eyes, he was admitting that he was abnormal the past two days, “What on earth is going on”

Fu Zimo let out a soft snort, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, “I didn't expect Yun Xiaoxue to be involved with those people! You know that there has always been a strange poison in this king's body, this poison is actually half a gu and half poison. This poison must **be relieved, otherwise it will affect the meridians throughout the body, and finally die from the reversal of the meridians>>>" 。Because this poison is semi-toxic, even this king could be controlled. 。"Such a strange poison" Qin Luoyan was truly curious. This was the first time Fu Zimu had calmly told her what had happened to him. 。He was already powerful enough to look down on the world, why would anyone dare poison him, and with a toxin related... This really makes one wonder. 。Qin Luo'yan's thoughts were already a bit scattered, hearing this she couldn't help but start daydreaming about the scene at the time. Could it be that a woman with ambiguous intentions from Fu Zi Mo poisoned him, making him devoted to her wholeheartedly Just like Yun Xiaoying's strange actions this time>>> 。 Apparently seeing through her daydream, Fu Zimuo gave her a light tap on the forehead, "What are you thinking about It's not what you think." 。"

“Hmm…” Qin Luoyan gave a wry smile and flicked his hand away from her chin. She stood up, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and handed it to him. “Here you go. I’m not in a hurry. You can sip your tea while you slowly tell me your story.” 。Fu Zi Mo's gaze fell on her hand holding the teacup, a smile playing at the corner of his lips, more captivating than ever. He suddenly realized, this woman's hands were small and white, even more alluring than he had imagined. 。Feeling his gaze, Qin Luoyan felt her hand grow increasingly hot and quickly shoved the teacup into his hand. 。"You'd blush too" Fu Zimo raised an eyebrow at her, but his expression was satisfied, "Since that's the case, this King will slowly tell you" 。"You know I'm the emperor's brother, right" Qin Luoyan nodded. Everyone in Nan Yue knew about it. Why was he asking this Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Fu Zimu in horror with an expression of disbelief. 。"You are indeed very clever" 。You're right, it's just as you think. Actually, he and I aren't real brothers. 。"Fu Zi Mo said this without any emotion in his voice, "It's just because my mother and her mother were sisters. So after my mother died, my aunt raised me as her own child." 。"Your mother and your aunt, both serving one husband" Although such a thing was common in ancient times, and even passed down by aristocrats as a good story, in Qin Luoyan's eyes, a modern person, it was still **, something she found hard to accept. 。Seeing her reaction, Fu Zimu also frowned, "Luo Yan, why are your ideas always different from ours You... what kind of environment did you grow up in"Qin Luo Yan was startled. She didn't expect that Fu Zimu had also doubted her origins. But would he believe that her soul came from another world, so all her concepts and thoughts were different from others here Even if he believed it, could he guarantee that he wouldn't treat her as a monster Taking a step back, even if Fu Zimu, who was considered the wisest person in this society, could accept it, what about the others They definitely wouldn't, would they 。Four years ago, when she first crossed into this time and space, she had also told her close maid about her own affairs. Who knew that the next day Qin Tiancheng brought a group of Taoist priests to the house. The Taoist said that if they could not exorcise the demon from her body, it would bring disaster to the entire General's Mansion. 。At that time, Qin Tiancheng had already raised his long sword pointing at her. If she still said that her soul came from another world, she would be killed as a monster. 。So, sometimes, people have no room for choice. 。"Your Highness, I'm sure you've already investigated my life experiences from childhood to adulthood. What I say, you might not believe, but what your subordinates reported to you, surely you do believe" 。Qin Luo'yan skillfully countered the other person's words, rendering their argument ineffective. 。As she had expected, when her past was revealed, he had already sent people to investigate everything about her time at the General's Mansion. Because he investigated her background and found nothing suspicious, that's why he couldn't figure it out. 。My mother and my aunt were originally members of a hidden family. They were given as gifts to the previous emperor, but unfortunately, my mother was too simple-hearted. She couldn't survive in the palace where women constantly competed with each other. 。Less than two months after giving birth to me, she died suddenly. It is said that she was discovered by the previous emperor while having an illicit affair with a guard and was executed. 。But many years have passed, and this king is still investigating what truly happened. 。When Fu Zimu spoke of his mother, there was a fleeting regret on his face. It's an unfortunate thing for a newborn child to lose their mother. 。After my mother's death, as my closest relative, the late Emperor allowed my aunt to raise me. 。"It's just..." Fu Zimo suddenly smiled with a hint of grievance, "At that time, Fu Zi Heng had already been appointed Crown Prince, and my aunt had no power in court. All she could rely on was the hidden family behind her." 。So, she sent me back to that secluded family's upbringing. 。Qin Luoyan felt a little uncomfortable seeing him sit so quietly with such sorrowful eyes, she couldn't help but step forward and take his hand. His hand was holding a teacup, she felt the tea inside had gone cold, so she changed it for him to a hot one, "You must have had a hard time growing up, right" 。When she said this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart. Fu Zimo, with his seemingly dazzling exterior, seemed to have endured hardships unimaginable by ordinary people since birth. 。Fu Zi Mo took a sip of hot tea, his gaze becoming even more tender, "Of course it's hard. Other people's children are still nursing at two months old, while this king was raised on tiger's milk." 。" "Heh heh," Qin Luoyan chuckled drily, "Kidding, right" 。“Am I joking” Fu Zi Mo didn't seem to feel anything special, and continued, “After being sent to that hidden family, I was thrown into a den of tigers. Of course, they were well-fed tigers, but they weren't ruthless enough to throw me directly into their jaws.” 。After the tiger was full, it naturally wouldn't eat the baby. Besides, that was a tigress who had just given birth to cubs and had milk. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand fear. I climbed with the cubs to suckle her milk until I was five years old. That's how I grew up in the tiger den. 。Although he spoke lightly, Qin Luoyan would definitely not naively think that things were as easy as he said. Having a tiger raise a human child was a huge gamble, to say the least, it could be described as a life-or-death situation. 。A child who hasn't even developed consciousness, wouldn't realize the danger, even if an tiger bites him to death. He wouldn't understand the fear of death, which is terrifying in itself. 。She suddenly thought of herself, she was an orphan, but at least during her growth period she had not encountered any life-threatening danger. Compared to Fu Zimo who was born on the edge of death, she had been lucky enough. 。Qin Luo yan suddenly felt that such a Fu Zi Mo was a bit pitiful, she couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed and lean her head against his chest. She hugged him with both hands, "It's good that you survived, otherwise we wouldn't have met" >>> 。“ Fu Zi Mo smiled and reached out to touch her head, “Are you worried about me” This time, he used me, instead of the aloof King. "。Qin Luo Yan didn't want to see him so smug, but she still nodded. 。"Well then, it's not for nothing that I've treated you so well." 。“In his perception, he had already been very affectionate to Qin Luoyan. He continued: ‘After the age of five, I left the wolf’s den and returned to my family. It was an extremely vast hidden family, with its influence spread across every corner of the continent. Every person in that family was a top performer. Children who had not passed the family examination and training would have long since died out, leaving behind only the elite among the elites.” 。But the real test is just beginning. 。They first raised all the children together, allowing them to learn, fight, and play together…"

His voice suddenly became tinged with sadness. Qin Luoyan didn't interrupt him, letting him continue, "Back then, I also had friends, a very good friend, one year older than me. So he always said he wanted to be my brother, and I always called him 'Big Brother' just like that. That year, I lived a very happy life. Although I didn't have family, the child who claimed to be my elder brother gave me the warmth of a home " 。Then, the end-of-year exam came. 。A choked sound escaped Fu Zimu's throat, and after a moment he continued, "The elders who briefed us stated the rules of the examination: two children form a group and duel to the death!"

Two children dueling, to the death!

These words struck Qin Luoyan deeply. She couldn't even bring herself to imagine the brutal scene. They were just children, yet they were expected to kill each other in order to survive! Was this going to turn them all into cruel beasts

Qin Luoyan unconsciously hugged Fu Zimu tighter, rubbing her cheek against his chest and comforting him, "It's over..." 。“ Fu Zi Mo responded with a sound, his gaze falling on the window. Sunlight streamed onto the leaves outside the window, and as it passed through the branches, it left behind only a tiny thin line. So much light, leaving behind only one strand. 。"The elders said the rule for choosing opponents was drawing lots because the kid who claimed to be my older brother was a bit older than me, so he went first. When he drew a bamboo stick from the bucket, his whole face contorted, and he just stared at me with wide eyes..." 。Then, I knew, he drew on me. 。And as I looked around at the children, almost everyone who had drawn a straw had an expression of shock on their faces because what was written on the straws were the names of the children they played with most often. 。"It seems like a draw, but in reality, is it the result of your ancestors arranging it" Qin Luoyan asked again. 。Fu Zi Mo nodded, "I only found out about this later. They spent a year letting us develop our feelings for each other, and then they destroyed them in the most cruel way. They said that too much emotion is a stumbling block to success, and if you want to be the strongest person in the family, you must give up many things. " 。He glanced again at Qin Luo'yan in his arms. Seeing her leaning gently against his chest, he couldn't help but kiss her forehead and continued, "The result is obvious, I survived." 。It wasn't that the other kid couldn't beat me, it was that he said, since he drew the bamboo stick, he was responsible for it. And he took it so seriously, he didn't even need to fight me. He just chose to commit suicide. 。He chose death, and he chose to let me live in an easy way. 。At least, in his eyes, I didn't kill him with my own hands, so I wouldn't have too many regrets for him in this life. 。But he was wrong, because with this complete defense of his, for the rest of my life I will be in his debt. 。After he died, none of us surviving children dared to make friends anymore. We were even wary of each other at all times. 。"Who would trust someone who killed their closest friend with their own hands to have their back, right"

Qin Luoyan listened, feeling a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but snuggle closer to him. Suddenly, she was afraid to hear more of his stories. This was just the beginning, and it was already so cruel. What would come after She didn't dare imagine. " 。When he was seven years old, he had already endured torment that adults found unbearable. What happened after that seventh year "Afraid" Seemingly sensing the slight trembling of her body, Fu Zimo pressed his chin against the top of her head and then let out a sigh. "Actually, there's not much to say after that. It was just hellish training and accumulation within the family." 。Until I was sixteen, the test from my family arrived. As long as I passed, I could return to my aunt's side and become a guardian for both my aunt and her cousin, the emperor. The hidden influence of our family in the Southern Yue Kingdom would also be handed over to me. 。Qin Luoyan couldn't help but be a little surprised. She had thought that his growth was in the majestic palace, as a son of the former emperor, enjoying wealth and honor, a child who was born with a golden spoon. Unexpectedly, he was also alone, and all his strength had to be fought for by himself. 。"You wouldn't think I was born to be a king, would you Just because I'm the emperor's son, they'd just give me the title" Fu Zimo shook his head and said helplessly: "Among the emperor's sons, many died before they even grew up. As for how they died, it was nothing more than palace intrigue." 。Initially, in order to change my own destiny, I took that test very seriously. The way the test was conducted was simple: I had to go to a secluded mountain valley and retrieve a family heirloom from a hidden clan. 。Qin Luo'yan's eyes lit up, remembering the first time she saw Yun Xiaoyan. She seemed to have come out of the mountain valley, "You mean the Yun family The mountain valley you mentioned is the one we went to before" At the entrance of the valley, she was almost assassinated by Yun Xiaoyan. This grudge has been kept in her heart ever since. 。Yes, that's the place. 。At that time, I disguised myself as an apprentice herbalist who had been injured and wandered into the valley while searching for medicine. In the valley, my plan went smoothly. In less than half a month, I came into contact with the family of the valley owner, which was Yun Xiaoying's family. At that time, Yun Xiaoying was only **years old**, and she had an older sister who was about eight years older than her. Their father was the valley owner. 。"Yun Xiaoxue's sister..." Qin Luoyan recalled Yun Xiaoxue's words, "Is she very beautiful" Fu Zimo looked down at her and nodded affirmatively, "She is very beautiful. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life." 。However, that's not the point. The key is that the Yun family's ancestral treasure isn't a physical object, but a martial art. 。And what's even more ridiculous is that this martial art could only be passed down to the eldest daughter of the Yun family and her husband. 。"Uh..." This was completely beyond Qin Luoyan's expectations. It was too over-the-top, she blinked her eyes and couldn't help but giggle, "This Yun family is also quite funny, do they really guarantee they can give birth to a daughter What if they all give birth to sons, wouldn't this skill be lost" 。“Fu Zi Mo's eyes suddenly flashed a dark and gloomy light, “Because if it were a boy, he would be killed after birth. The Yun family has always only kept girls, the head of the family is also a woman. In the Yun family, men are married in, used to continue the lineage.” 。" Qin Luoyan had nothing more to say. This kind of bizarre family was indeed rare and unique. Having seen so many strange families, it was no wonder Fu Zimuo didn't seem to find her and ordinary people's unconventional ideas unacceptable. " 。However, they are all their own children. To kill a boy when he is born is still too cruel. Can a child who grows up in such a family truly be innocentAnd it is said that Fu Zimo's martial arts are unfathomable. Could it be that he learned the Yun family's techniquesQin Luoyan frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over. She raised her head and asked, "The Yun family passes down their skills through their sons-in-law, so they must have a way to control their sons-in-law, right Otherwise, if someone among the sons-in-law betrays them, the entire Yun family would be in danger, wouldn't they" She didn't want to ask about the past between him and Yun Xiaoying's sister. If Fu Zimo had already obtained the techniques, it meant that he and Yun Xiaoying's sister did indeed have a past, but for some reason, she suddenly didn't want to know the details of this matter anymore. 。Fu Zimu seemed to have seen through her thoughts, so he didn't mention that romantic history at all. He just continued, "You guessed right, the Yun family has a way to control their daughter-in-law, that's why I was poisoned." 。This strange poison, half venomous and half parasitic, can be controlled by the bloodline of Yun family's eldest daughter. I originally thought that when that woman died, I would be free from control. Unexpectedly, the Yun family still had some trump cards up their sleeve. 。At this point, it finally brought him to the crux of his self-harm moment. Qin Luoyan listened intently, not daring to breathe. 。Although I still don't know what method Yun Xiaoying used, it clearly has some influence on me. However, since she isn't my legitimate eldest daughter, the influence is much smaller. Otherwise, I wouldn't have briefly returned to normal because of your teasing. Although, it was just for a moment. 。But even in that instant, it was enough for me to react. 。"

Fu Zi Mo now thinks back, he was still a little scared. If it wasn't for Qin Luo Yan being so clever this time, using this unconventional method to wake him up, even he wouldn't know what terrible thing had happened in the end>>> 。“So, you first stabbed yourself to stay conscious through pain” Qin Luoyan finally understood what was going on, but she couldn't help but ask, “What about Yun Xiaoxue Did you kill her” If you find "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" interesting, please copy and paste the following URL to share it with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends.
