Chapter 1756 The Dusty Past
Hua Xiu reached out his hand and gently wiped away my tears.
"Brother, don't cry...it's no big deal."
Hua Xiu's voice was extremely weak when he spoke.
I tried my best to control my emotions and said to Hua Xiu: "Hua Xiu, don't worry, my brother will find a way now and he will definitely let you survive..."
Hua Xiu shook his head slightly and said: "Brother, it's useless. Although I am a zombie with steel and iron bones, no one can hurt me easily, but I have to leave this time."
The flesh and blood on Hua Xiu's body was slowly falling off.
Her eyes were red and full of reluctance.
"Brother...do you still remember the agreement between you and me?"
"What...what agreement?"
Hua Xiu slowly opened his palm, and a small seed appeared inside.
"This is……"
"These are dandelion seeds."
Dandelion seeds?
Hua Xiu raised a wry smile and said, "It seems that brother has forgotten it, but it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, brother will remember it."
I stared straight at the dandelion seed, and a long-lost memory emerged in my mind.
…
I finally remembered this memory.
The childhood memories of Hua Xiu and I.
When Hua Xiu came into the world, I was already the crown prince, that is, Liu Che.
As mentioned before, after Hua Xiu was born, green buds sprouted from the dead trees ten miles away from the palace, countless birds hovered over the palace, and auspicious clouds floated in the sky.
Everyone in the court, including my father, thought Hua Xiu was an unknown princess.
If such visions of heaven and earth appear to a boy.
Then the whole country will be rejoicing, but the bad thing is that it happened to a girl.
Before Wu Zetian, there was no precedent for a woman to be emperor in any dynasty or generation.
Moreover, women's status was very low in ancient times.
Some women have been "imprisoned" in that small courtyard their whole lives and have never seen the real world.
Therefore, Hua Xiu was locked up in a courtyard of the palace after she was born.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cold palace.
Princesses born in the royal family have two situations: either they are favored, or they are ignored.
Obviously Hua Xiu is the second type.
It is precisely for this reason that there is no record of Hua Xiu, a princess of the Han Dynasty, in history.
And I had never seen Hua Xiu before I was eight years old.
Until that day...
One day I was admiring flowers in the garden when I suddenly heard a loud thump, followed immediately by a crisp, milky cry for help.
"help!"
I looked for cries for help.
I saw a small figure splashing in the water in the garden pond.
I am not a water person, so I asked the eunuch to rescue the little figure.
This is the first time I saw Hua Xiu.
She was wearing ancient shabby palace maid's clothes. The clothes were too big for children, and Hua Xiu's hair was messy, making her look like a little beggar.
At that time, I was pampered and had no interest in such shabby and ugly people.
Hua Xiu is not ugly, but malnutrition has led to a sallow complexion and thin skin.
However, I felt an inexplicable affinity for Hua Xiu in my heart.
I brought Hua Xiu to the bedroom.
Hua Xiu seemed very reserved along the way, with her little head lowered and her head bent as she walked. Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.
After returning to the palace, I asked the eunuch to find two clean clothes.
The eunuch took the order and went forward.
But the eunuch who had been serving me since childhood whispered in my ear: "Your Majesty... this little girl looks like Princess Huaxiu who was born five years ago, that is... your sister." (End of this chapter)
