Chapter 174 Xiaokai is Gu Yebei’s grandson
Feng Wuhen followed closely behind and slowly got off the carriage, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes also smiling, with endless tenderness and pampering.
The guards standing at the gate of the palace were all stunned. They could not believe their eyes because they had never seen their prince smile.
Feng Wuhen felt everyone's gazes and immediately put away the smile on his face and strode into the gate of the mansion.
Jiang Yimo hurried back to the back garden of the Evil King's Mansion, but she did not go directly back to Wutong Courtyard. Instead, she walked towards the house of the young boy she rescued a few days ago.
As soon as she stepped into the small courtyard where the young boy lived, her eyes were attracted by the thin and lonely figure.
He stood upright in the yard, looking up at the magpies chirping in the tree, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and loneliness.
Jiang Yimo walked lightly to him and asked with concern, "Have you been feeling better these past two days?"
There was tenderness and concern in her voice.
Hearing this, the young boy slowly turned around, his eyes fell on Jiang Yimo, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face.
There seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but he didn't know how to express them.
He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I feel much better." His voice was a little hoarse as he said this.
Jiang Yimo looked at his tender yet strong face, and a feeling of pity welled up in her heart.
She looked him up and down, then smiled and said, "That's good. You should pay more attention to rest so that you can get better soon."
Her eyes were full of tenderness and encouragement as she looked at the young boy.
The young boy nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination, like the brightest star in the night sky.
He raised his head and looked at Jiang Yimo eagerly, his tone full of gratitude, as if he had thousands of words to express: "Sister, you not only saved my life, but also let the evil king take me in, and provided me with a safe place to live. I, I really don't know how to repay your kindness."
Jiang Yimo pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was like a blooming spring flower, fresh and elegant. Her voice was gentle, like a warm spring breeze blowing past: "You don't have to repay me. I am a doctor, and saving lives is my duty."
The boy's eyes were slightly moist. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice from trembling: "Sister, I will always remember your kindness."
Jiang Yimo looked at him sideways and said calmly, "If you really want to repay me, can you tell me who were the people who chased you that day?"
Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in the young boy's eyes. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and took a breath, as if he had a heavy burden in his heart.
His voice was low and firm, and he slowly said: "Sister, I am actually a killer being trained by an organization. My name is Xiao Kai. As for my life experience, it is like a fog, even I can't see it clearly."
"Half a month ago, by chance, I overheard a conversation between my superior and a mysterious person. They talked about the life stories of us little assassins. When they mentioned me, the mysterious person suddenly asked my superior about the jade pendant I once had on me."
The young boy's voice trembled slightly, as if he was recalling that tense moment.
"My superior shook his head and replied that he had been keeping the jade pendant carefully."
Having said that, a hint of surprise flashed in the boy's eyes, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What does that jade pendant mean to him?
Is it closely related to one's own life experience?
He didn't know it at the time. A series of questions emerged in his mind, but he couldn't find the answers.
His voice was filled with a hint of longing and pain as he continued, “I don’t know who that mysterious man is, nor do I know that I have a jade pendant that can prove my origins.
"But that mysterious man cares so much about my jade pendant, which shows that my life experience is very important to him."
"So, the jade pendant seemed to be the only clue to prove my life experience, but I had no idea how to find the truth. So, I tried every possible way to steal the jade pendant from my superior. But when I was stealing the jade pendant, I was accidentally discovered. Then, my superior sent people to hunt me down..."
As the young boy spoke and recalled, his eyes revealed his anxiety and helplessness about the mystery of his life.
"Sister, I long to know my past and find my real family. Every time I see other children hugging their parents, my heart is filled with endless envy and loneliness."
As he said this, his voice gradually became low, as if carrying too much sorrow and longing.
"I grew up in this cruel organization and learned how to kill and be cruel, but my heart always longed for warmth and love."
"Sister, you have a good relationship with the evil king, can you ask him to help investigate my background? The jade pendant is still with me, but I once heard my superior let it slip. He said that there is an official in my family, and he is a high-ranking official with meritorious service."
After the young boy finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yimo with eyes full of earnestness and hope.
Then, his hand slowly reached for the waistband of his trousers, as if he was groping for something precious. After fumbling for a while, he carefully took it out.
It was a snow-white mutton-fat jade pendant, and its warm luster flowed in his hand, as if it contained endless stories.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the jade pendant in his hand intently, his eyes revealing a desire for family affection.
This jade pendant is his only hope to find out his own life experience.
At this time, Jiang Yimo's attention was also attracted.
She was surprised to find that the white mutton-fat jade pendant in his hand was so similar to the one the wet nurse gave her.
Suddenly, a huge wave of shock surged in her heart, as if she was hit by an invisible force.
Jiang Yimo frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Kai, can I see the jade pendant in your hand?"
Her heart was instantly filled with complex emotions and confusion.
She didn't know why she had such a feeling, but her intuition told her that there must be some connection between the two jade pendants.
Hearing this, Xiao Kai handed the jade pendant in his hand to Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo took the jade pendant in her hand and immediately glanced at the front and back of the jade pendant.
The front of the jade pendant has the word "Kai" engraved on it, and the back has auspicious clouds engraved on it. It is exactly the same as the jade pendant given to her by her wet nurse, except for the word on it.
Could it be that this Xiaokai is Gu Yebei’s grandson?
