Chapter 137 Brother and sister meet
Qiao Xiyi noticed the change in the breathing of the person on the bed. She raised her face from his palm and said happily, "Fourth Brother."
There was a lot of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.
She was not sure what had happened to her fourth brother and whether he would still recognize her.
But what pleased her most was that Qiao Chengwang asked her, "Are you Xibaoer?"
Qiao Xi nodded desperately and whispered in a low, hoarse voice, "Yes, I am, I am Xi Baoer, your sister."
Anxiety was replaced by joy.
Qiao Xi held Qiao Chengwang's hand tightly.
It’s great that Fourth Brother still recognizes her. This proves that Cao Ying hasn’t completely erased Fourth Brother’s memory.
Maybe Fourth Brother would suffer less.
"Xibaoer returned to the north of Xinjiang and became Qiu Bayue."
He seemed to be talking to himself, "Why are you back? Why did you come back?"
Qiao Xi wiped away the tears that kept rolling down her cheeks. "I know you're still alive. I have to come back to find you, Fourth Brother. From now on, we brothers and sisters will be together, and no one will be able to bully you anymore."
As expected, the fourth brother was able to receive her news. Qiao Xi was glad that she had used the name Qiu Bayue to let the fourth brother know about her situation.
"Fourth brother, are you waiting for me too?"
Qiao Chengwang nodded, then shook his head, "I only remember that I still have a younger sister who is still alive. Her name is Xi Baoer. She returned to northern Xinjiang, which is our hometown.
I don't seem to want her to come back, it's best for her to stay in her hometown."
Qiao Xi sensed something strange, but before she could ponder it, she saw Qiao Chengwang looking at Su Heting again, "Who are you?"
Su Heting stepped forward and said, "I am her husband, your brother-in-law."
Qiao Chengwang frowned, as if he couldn't remember such a person, and reached into his lapel to take something out. Qiao Xi saw that he was moving with difficulty and asked hurriedly, "Fourth brother, what do you want? I'll get it for you."
The person on the bed did not respond to her, and even had a look of wariness on his face. After struggling for a long time, he finally took out a small piece of cloth from his clothes.
He spread out the cloth and tried to move it close to his eyes.
Only then did Qiao Xi see clearly that the cloth, which was not much bigger than a palm, was densely covered with words on both sides.
I don't know what was used to write it, the words are extremely small.
When she saw clearly what was written on the cloth, her tears fell like beads from a broken string.
The joy she had just felt was gone; she was late after all.
Cao Ying has already taken action against the fourth brother.
He had lost his memory, but he could still call out her nickname because he had written down the important and unforgettable things on this small piece of cloth.
Su Heting was far away and couldn't see clearly, but he vaguely guessed something. Seeing that Qiao Chengwang was lying there with difficulty seeing, he moved him over and half leaned against the head of the bed.
With this movement, he was shocked to realize how light Qiao Chengwang was, and his heart was suddenly filled with grief, indignation and hatred.
If nothing had happened to the Qiao family, Qiao Chengwang would have become an outstanding military general in the Dayou Dynasty, just like his father and grandfather.
At this time, he should have become a young general with high spirits, instead of what he looks like now.
The root of all these sins comes from the emperor, his biological father.
The Si family owes the Qiao family a debt that can never be repaid.
"You are Su Heting, and you kidnapped my sister."
Qiao Chengwang's voice interrupted Su Heting's thoughts.
He found records about Su Heting from the piece of cloth.
Su Heting did not deny what he had done. When he was waiting for Qiao Chengwang to reprimand him, he heard Qiao Chengwang ask, "Are you a real couple now, or are you just putting on an act for the emperor?
What do you want from Xi Baoer? What did Xi Baoer promise you?
"Fourth brother."
Qiao Xi was worried that Qiao Chengwang would misunderstand and attack Su Heting, and she didn't want her fourth brother to worry about her, so she hurriedly explained, "We are husband and wife. He treats me very well, and it was he who helped me rescue you this time."
Su Heting added, "We are attracted to each other. We will explain the details to you slowly later."
Qiao Chengwang looked at him quietly for a moment, nodded slightly, and then looked at Qiao Xi, "So, your abduction was fake?"
"Yes, in order to escape from the palace, I took the initiative to find him and asked him to take me back to northern Xinjiang."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Qiao Chengwang sighed, raised his hand and touched Qiao Xi's head, "Although I don't remember what you looked like before, I know that you are my sister.
I'm so happy to see you again. Thank you for all the hard work you put into rescuing me."
Qiao Xi's eyes fell on the small piece of cloth in his hand, and she cried, "Do you still remember what your parents look like?"
"Can not remember."
Qiao Chengwang's deep eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life, "The material is limited, and if I record too much, it will easily be discovered, so I can only pick out the important things to record.
Just remember that I am from the Qiao family, who have guarded the northern border for generations. The emperor is not a good man, so you must never trust him.
Xibaoer is my only relative in this world now, and you must not hurt her."
He seemed to be telling Qiao Xi, but also seemed to be reminding himself.
"How did Fourth Brother guess all this and take note of it in advance to prepare for it?"
Qiao Chengwang stroked Qiao Xi's head again and asked, "Did they also erase your memory?"
"Not only was her memory erased, Xi Bao'er's memory was tampered with by the Emperor."
Su Heting replied.
Qiao Chengwang nodded, "It is indeed so."
However, because Su Heting was present, he did not respond to Qiao Xi.
Su Heting noticed his concern and said, "You two siblings can chat for a while. I'll go get some hot tea for Fourth Brother."
Watching his departing figure, Qiao Chengwang then asked Qiao Xi, "Tell me, brother, is he really good to you?"
Qiao Xi said truthfully, "He treats me very well, even more than I care about myself."
Qiao Cheng saw her expression and knew she was not lying. He suddenly laughed, "Silly girl, you have no shame."
With a sigh, he replied to Qiao Xi's previous question, "When I was in southern Xinjiang, I heard that the late Crown Prince treated you very well.
But after I was imprisoned in the secret factory, I heard that you were close to the emperor and became his secret agent, so I became suspicious.
And I remember my father mentioned many times that the late crown prince was kind and was the heir apparent chosen by the late emperor. Sooner or later, the country would be his, and the reason for him to kill his father was too far-fetched.
Moreover, I know what a hypocritical beast the emperor is in private, so I guess the former prince must have been killed by him.
But my sister is not an ungrateful person. The late prince protected you for nine years. Even if he got into trouble, you should not completely forget about him with your character.
You are not a fool, and you are not the type to be easily deceived, so I guess there must be some reason behind it.
It wasn't until Cao Ying put a needle in my head for the first time and said that she would make me forget everything in the past and that I would die in her hands in the future that I realized she wanted to tamper with my memory.
And your abnormality is not difficult to guess."
Since the injection, his memory has been fluctuating, and he remembers and forgets many things.
Today, whether it was because he was happy to see his relatives or because of God's blessing, he remembered what happened that day very clearly.
The first acupuncture treatment required the needle to stay on his head for six hours. Cao Ying did not have the patience to watch him, so he restrained his hands to prevent him from pulling out the needle.
As for his crippled feet, she despised them.
Little did she know that during the long ten years he was imprisoned, he never gave up exercising his legs.
Even though they have been broken, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he cannot let them wither and decay.
After more than ten years of training, my right leg finally retained sensation and could even sometimes write in place of my hand.
So, in an empty dark room, he pulled out a needle from his head with his foot. Before he completely lost his memory, he tore off his inner clothes and used the needle dipped in blood to write down the important news that he must never forget.
After he had memorized everything and hidden the cloth, he put the needle back into its original position.
This was the case several times he performed acupuncture. As long as no one was watching, he would secretly pull out the needle and then put it back in when he heard footsteps.
But there were times when the insertion was not precise, either causing him to suffer terribly pain or being discovered by Cao Ying.
But Cao Ying just thought that he was rubbing his head around and messing up the position, so he didn't suspect anything.
However, this prevented his brain from being completely controlled by others, and he was able to talk to Qiao Xi clearly.
He omitted the pain and simply talked about how Cao Ying destroyed his memory, because he was not sure whether he would still remember it tomorrow.
But Qiao Xi's eyes turned red again, "I will make her pay a thousand times over."
