Chapter 254 Because My Grandmother Was an Ancient Person

After putting Qiu Zizhen down, Qilin asked:

"Master, do you need to wake up Master Qiu?"

Jiayu said, "He has only been unconscious for more than ten minutes. If we use electric shock to wake him up now, it will damage his brain. He is an outstanding talent of the younger generation of Daqi. Don't hurt him."

Qilin nodded in response: "Yes, Master."

Liao Yixing couldn't bear to see Qiu Zizhen lying on the ground. He glanced at the recliner next to him and planned to come over and carry Qiu Zizhen to lie on the recliner.

He was about to leave when Jiayu told Qilin:

"It's so cold, the ground is cold, let's put Master Qiu on the recliner."

Qilin responded, picked up Qiu Zizhen effortlessly and put him on the recliner.

When Liao Yixing saw that Qiu Zizhen was wearing thin clothes, he thought that Qiu Zizhen must have been suddenly taken away by Qilin when he was warming himself by the stove at home, otherwise, how could he not have any warm clothes on such a cold day.

He walked over and gently put the black cloak with a cape on Qiu Zizhen.

As soon as the cloak left his body, his frail body was attacked by the cold air and he couldn't help but shiver slightly.

However, the coldness that penetrated into his skin and bones did not affect the way he looked at Qiu Zizhen.

His eyes were gentle and affectionate, yet also filled with reluctance.

While waiting for Qiu Zizhen to wake up, Jiayu started chatting, "Uncle, the murder case in Liaojia Village that involved you, Mr. Qiu should have helped you settle it, right?"

Liao Yixing was of a dull disposition, and only responded softly:

"Ah."

Jiayu was not angry about his response which was so short that it couldn't be any shorter, nor did she feel that the other party was just trying to be perfunctory.

She understood that people who were naturally quiet usually spoke little.

"I remember that the murderer was your mother. You took the blame for her in order to protect her. Then why did she kill so many people?"

Liao Yixing stood beside the recliner, looked at Qiu Zizhen, and began to talk calmly:

"After your grandfather sent me here, if my adoptive mother hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago."

"My mother is a killer who makes a living by killing people for her employers. Ever since she adopted me, she has always wanted to train me to be a killer, but because I was born weak and sickly, I couldn't learn martial arts."

"Before the murder in Liaojia Village, my mother received a huge order with a commission of ten thousand taels of gold."

"The employer had a business feud with Mr. Jia, the richest man in Qingzhou, and he paid a large sum of money to hire my mother to kill the Jia family."

"It just so happened that hundreds of Jia family members were burning incense and praying for blessings at the Liansheng Temple. It was a very good opportunity to make the move."

"The temptation of ten thousand taels of gold is too great. My mother plans to retire after completing this order and no longer engage in this business."

"I tried to persuade my mother not to do it, but I was powerless to stop her. I knew she would be targeted by the authorities, so I simply left my footprints at the scene of the crime."

At this point, Liao Yixing looked at Jiayu and smiled slightly, as if he did not regret bearing the crime for his adoptive mother.

"I am able to survive in this era because of my adoptive mother. I am willing to take the blame for her because I want to repay her for raising me all these years. Moreover, the reason why she took this job was that she wanted to use the money to find a famous doctor to cure my health."

"Although my mother committed a heinous crime, I have no reason not to protect her."

"I am not from here, and I am weak and sickly. I am afraid I don't have much time left. How could I not be willing to do this if it can save my mother?"

"I had to persuade her for a long time before she was willing to put the interests of the country aside and admit to the authorities that I was the murderer."

When Jiayu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Alas, from the perspective of Liao Yixing and his adoptive mother, they were wrong, but not wrong either, it was just that their methods were wrong.

But if there is a better way, I won’t take the risk.

But the Jia family is also innocent, and if you kill someone, you must pay with your life.

"So how is your adoptive mother now?"

The Ministry of Justice has confirmed that Liao Yixing's adoptive mother is the real murderer, but she does not know whether the real murderer has been brought to justice.

So many things happened during this period of time, and she didn't have time to care about them.

Liao Yixing said calmly:

"My mother later turned herself in and cleared me of the charges. She didn't have the heart to kill hundreds of people in the Jia family, but she still killed them in order to get money for my medical treatment."

"She couldn't get over it mentally, and turning herself in was a relief for her."

Speaking of this, Liao Yixing felt extremely heavy-hearted and blamed himself:

"I am a disaster. I harmed my mother. If she hadn't saved me in the beginning, she wouldn't have done such a stupid thing."

"It would have been great if she hadn't adopted me and continued to be a free bounty hunter."

"It was because of me that the entire Jia family was wiped out. To be honest, I am the one who committed the heaviest sin. I don't deserve to continue living."

Jiayu comforted her, "Maybe you are your mother's calamity, and I am here to repay you in this life."

"Even if your mother didn't do it, the employer would find other murderers to kill the entire Jia family, and the entire Jia family would still be doomed to die."

"Now that things have come to this, don't think too much about it. Live your life well and take good care of your body. That's the greatest reward for her."

At this time, Qiu Zizhen, who was lying on the recliner, moved.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Liao Yixing quickly adjusting his state, making himself look not sad and heavy, but indifferent.

Qiu Zizhen slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the handsome and pale profile of the young man he had been thinking about day and night. He immediately looked happy and sat up.

"Yixing!"

Ever since Liao Yixing was acquitted and disappeared again, he hasn't seen Liao Yixing for a long time.

God knows how much he misses Liao Yixing!

Liao Yixing had a cold expression and didn't even look at Qiu Zizhen.

He was afraid of giving Qiu Zizhen hope and making it difficult for him to leave Daqi at night.

If his attitude could make adults give up on him, then he would hurt them one last time.

"Master Qiu, you finally woke up."

Jiayu spoke with a smile.

Queen?

Hearing the voice, Qiu Zizhen's gaze moved away from Liao Yixing's profile and fell on Jiayu's face.

He was surprised to find out that it was the Queen:

"My queen? Why are you here? Aren't you going to Dajin..."

Thinking that Liao Yixing was also here, Qiu Zizhen was confused:

"Hey, Madam, why are you with Yixing?"

Jiayu clarified:

"Master Qiu, don't get me wrong. Liao Yixing and I are not that kind of relationship. He is my cousin."

Qiu Zizhen smiled awkwardly and quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, how could I think that you and Yixing have an improper relationship? I dare not...wait."

Suddenly realizing something, Qiu Zizhen's eyes widened:

"What?! Cousin? Madam, you just said that Yixing, he, he, he is your uncle?"

The Empress is a modern person, and she is actually a cousin of Liao Yixing?

Isn’t this outrageous?

Or is Liao Yixing also a modern person?

Jiayu smiled and said:

"Yes, he is my cousin. He is my real uncle."

Qiu Zizhen looked at Liao Yixing in astonishment, then at Jiayu, surprised and confused:

"No, madam, you are not modern..."

Qiu Zizhen already knew that Jiayu was from modern times, but considering that Liao Yixing was around, he did not dare to reveal the secret that Jiayu was from modern times without permission.

But then he thought, Liao Yixing and Jiayu are cousins, doesn't that mean Liao Yixing is also a modern person? Can't this secret be revealed in front of Liao Yixing?

When Qiu Zizhen was hesitating whether to speak or not, Jiayu knew what he was going to say and said:

"Yes, I am a modern person, but that doesn't stop Liao Yixing from being my cousin."

Qiu Zizhen was confused. "Madam, do you mean that Yixing is not a modern person?"

Liao Yixing was stunned at this time, and was surprised how Qiu Zizhen knew that the queen was a modern person.

Could it be that Qiu Zizhen knew it earlier than him?

Jiayu smiled calmly and replied:

"Yes, my uncle is not a modern man."

Qiu Zizhen: “…”

He was confused. Since the Empress was a modern person and Liao Yixing was not, how could Liao Yixing be the Empress's genuine cousin?

Thinking of something, Qiu Zizhen asked tentatively:

"Could it be that... Yixing is a royal relative? The emperor's cousin?"

This is the only possible reasonable one.

Jiayu stopped teasing Qiu Zizhen and told him about Liao Yixing's origins:

"Master Qiu, my cousin is also from another time and space who traveled here, but the time and space he was born in was in ancient times."

"It means that to him, you are already a person from the future."

After Qiu Zizhen had figured it out, he said in disbelief:

"Your Majesty, do you mean that Yixing is an ancient person? And this humble minister is at least hundreds or thousands of years away from ancient times?"

Jiayu corrected with a smile:

"It's not just this distance, it's at least more than 10,000 years."

"That's from ancient times, how could it be so few years apart?"

Qiu Zizhen was confused again, "..."

He blurted out: "Then he is... a wild man?"

Jiayu nodded. "That's not an exaggeration. When my cousin was born, it was still the Stone Age, not yet a civilized society."

Qiu Zizhen was shocked. "Oh my God, this is beyond my understanding."

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out, "You, Madam, are from modern times, but Yixing is from ancient times. How can you be cousins?"

Jiayu said without hesitation: "Because my grandmother is an ancient person, my great uncle is Yixing's biological father."

Qiu Zizheng was shocked again. He looked at Jiayu in amazement and could not find words to describe the extent of his surprise.

Liao Yixing is Jiayu's cousin, which is shocking enough to him.

Now I know that Jiayu’s grandmother is actually Liao Yixing’s aunt, which is a huge blow.

Qiu Zizhen sat down on the recliner, shook his head and said:

"This is so ridiculous, I must be dreaming."

Jiayu glanced at Liao Yixing and told Qiu Zizhen the serious matter:

"Master Qiu, this time I asked Qilin to bring you out from home to see me, just so that my cousin can say goodbye to you properly. Later... I will take my cousin back to ancient times, to his hometown."

When he heard that Liao Yixing was leaving, and going to a place where he might not come back, Qiu Zizhen panicked. He sat up all of a sudden and looked at Liao Yixing with red eyes.

"What the queen said... is true? Are you leaving?"

Liao Yixing lowered his eyes and nodded indifferently, "Yeah."

He acted cold on purpose so that Qiu Zizhen would feel hurt by his indifference and then let go of him.

But Qiu Zizhen was not hurt by his cold attitude. Instead, he took two steps forward, grasped his thin shoulders, looked into his eyes, and asked:

"You're not coming back after this trip?"

Liao Yixing finally raised his eyes and met Qiu Zizheng's gaze.

Seeing Qiu Zizhen about to break apart, Liao Yixing felt heartbroken.

But he still responded in a cold manner, "Well, I won't come back."

"Thank you for your appreciation and care over the past two years, Master Qiu. However, Master and I are from two different time and space, so we are not suitable. We will say goodbye today. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future."

Qiu Zizhen's voice was hoarse and his tone was hurt:

"You're leaving soon, can't you just stop being tough for once?"

"Do you think I don't know that your attitude is to make me give up?"

His words immediately broke down the psychological defense that Liao Yixing had built up with great difficulty.

"My Lord, I'm sorry. Yixing shouldn't have provoked you last year and made you upset."

"Yixing dreams of returning to his hometown, so... I can only apologize to you, sir."

Qiu Zizhen choked up and said:

"You have no choice. I don't blame you, but it's impossible for me to give up on you."

"Yixing, just go back without worry. I promise that I will live well for you, but I will not let anyone else intrude into this place in my heart."

Liao Yixing's eyes were filled with tears. "Sir..."

Seeing this, Jiayu coughed deliberately:

"Well, it's getting late, uncle, go call the others, we should leave."

"it is good."

Liao Yixing responded lightly, then pulled down the hands that were holding his shoulders.

The moment his hand fell off the other person's shoulder, Qiu Zizhen felt as if he had lost something very important. His heart was broken and his eyes were full of reluctance, but he had to let go.

At this moment, he could not feel the biting cold wind. His heart and eyes were filled with the thought that Liao Yixing was about to leave him and never come back.

Liao Yixing picked up the cloak on the recliner and put it on Qiu Zizhen himself, and gave him one last instruction:

"Sir, you are a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. Sometimes this may be taken advantage of by others. Remember to be careful when making friends in the future."

"It's cold, so keep warm."

"Yixing's greatest luck in this life is to meet you, sir. If there is an afterlife, Yixing will definitely hold on to you tightly and never let go."

"My Lord... take care!"

After saying this, Liao Yixing gave Qiu Zizhen one last deep look, then turned and left.

The moment he turned around, Qiu Zizhen felt as if something inside his body broke and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at Liao Yixing's departing back, it hurt so much that I couldn't breathe, "Yixing..."

Jiayu patted Qiu Zizhen's shoulder calmly and said:

"It's alright, Master Qiu. Everyone has to go through separation and death. Time is the best medicine. You will slowly let it go in the future."

Qiu Zizhen seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Is he really not coming back? His Yixing!

Jiayu: "By the way, I want to ask you something, Master Qiu."

Qiu Zizhen concealed the sadness in his eyes:

"Your Highness, please speak."

Jiayu asked: "When you selected those seven handsome men for the emperor, the ones who are currently living in your house, is there one with the surname Mo?"

She wanted to confirm whether she was living in the home of one of the handsome men.

After all, from what Village Chief Mo told her, it was very likely that the Gaussian woman his son married was one of the Gaussian beauties that were offered as tribute.

Qiu Zizhen recalled and said:

"There is indeed a person named Mo, Mo Qiusheng. What's wrong, Madam? Did he commit any crime?"
