Chapter 15 The Past Is Like Smoke
"Princess, are you going to see that charlatan?" Yuruo asked.
"You just go back, don't tell others about other things, be obedient."
"This ..... Well, princess, you must come back as soon as possible. Yuruo nodded obediently.
After sending Yuruo away, Ji Lianmei immediately returned to Yanwang's mansion to prepare a carriage and rushed to the outskirts of the city. Ji Yucheng leaned out from behind the tree where he was hiding at the entrance of the palace, and said lightly to Xiao Yige: "Situ, go to the peach forest on the outskirts of the city." ”
It's not that he didn't suspect Ji Lianmei's identity. It's just that at that time, seeing that although Ji Lianmei was smart, she was simple and kind-hearted, and it didn't affect his plan to rejuvenate the country, so he didn't care too much. But now, he is more and more interested in the identity of this girl.
It's me who underestimated you, Ji Lianmei......
In the peach forest wooden house in the north of the city, You Zixian took a sip of tea and said lightly: "You really came." ”
Ji Lianmei stood at the door and looked around the surrounding environment, a table, a chair, a bed and a lamp, extremely simple, and the old Taoist priest sat in this room, which actually made the whole environment have an extraordinary feeling.
After making sure that there was no one else in the house, Ji Lianmei hurriedly closed the door, ran to the table and asked, "You Zixian, how do you know that I am not from this era?" ”
You Zixian put down the cup, pointed to her sleeve, and said, "In your sleeve, there is something called a mirror, and the people of this era do not have this kind of technology, unless you encounter the same strange thing as me, otherwise you must not be a person of this time." ”
Ji Lianmei was curious, and couldn't help asking, "You....... Something happened. ”
You Zixian put down the teacup and told his story....
"More than 20 years ago, I was still young, my family died early, and I was alone. Suddenly, one day, a strange woman came to my house, with pure brown hair, very close-fitting clothes, and spoke something I didn't understand. I thought she was a witch of a different race, but she gently told me that she was from the future. I regarded her as a madman, but I couldn't bear to drive her away, so I left her behind. ”
"Our family was already short of food and clothing, and now we have to support one more person, and the food will soon be at the bottom. At this time, she told me that the king was about to fall seriously ill, and he would put up a notice to seek a cure for a large amount of money. All I need to do is find a few herbs such as Chuanbei, wormwood, and ginseng in this mountain stream, boil them into soup and send them to the emperor, and I can win the king's reward of 10,000 taels of gold. I didn't take her words to heart at all. But a month later, what she said came true one by one. The monarch was really sick, and I did as she said, and I won ten thousand taels of gold. I was amazed, and she told me that this was the medicine of her time. From then on, I began to believe her words, and I thought it was amazing, so I took her as a teacher. ”
"I heard her say that she was a historian who specialized in our time. Soon after, the monarch recruited a show girl, and she chose to enter the palace to participate in the draft for the sake of historical academic research. Before leaving, she gave me a history book she had compiled and told me that if she could not find a livelihood in the future, she could rely on this book to exploit some loopholes, but remember that history books and her identity should not be known to others. ”
"After she became a princess, I lost contact with her, and I could only make some money under the banner of fortune-telling by relying on the historical facts recorded in that book. The last time I saw her, she was holding her newborn baby in her arms, stained with blood in her golden dress, and said to me: 'I am going to take this child back to my time, and I have come to say goodbye to you.' ’”
When she had said this to me, she jumped into the well behind my house, and the moment she jumped down, the stars appeared in the sky, and the well shone with a dazzling golden light. Master disappeared like this and never came back......."
Ji Lianmei listened to this long story, and her eyes gradually darkened.
"Ji Lianmei, your real name is An Luofei." You Zixian said suddenly.
"You.... How would you know. Ji Lianmei was surprised.
"The piece of jade around your neck was once worn by Master. My Master, your mother, before she went back, she said, "Her daughter's name is An Lofe." Wu Jinggong, the monarch who is now sitting on the throne, is your father. ”
What the........
Ji Lianmei suddenly collapsed to the ground, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
When I was a child, my mother never said a word about my father, and even if she asked, my mother always said: Dad is no longer there. She also often saw her mother staring at the water well in the suburbs. It turned out that my mother had also come to this era. What would she think if she knew that now her daughter was where she used to be, and that she was married to her own half-brother?
Ji Lianmei never thought that such a bloody plot would really happen to her.
Ji Yucheng.......
Although you have not hurt me, I can't see through you, maybe leaving as soon as possible is good for you and for me. This relationship is destined to be fruitless, and I don't have to, mere people disturb themselves.
Thinking of this, Ji Lianmei asked:
"Youzixian, how can I leave."
"The day Master left was twenty-four years ago, when the five-star sun was shining on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and when the next five-star sun was shining, you came to me, and I took you away." You Zixian leaned into her ear and whispered. His eyes squinted outward, and among the dense branches outside the door, a faint smile was hidden.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it, then I'll go back." Ji Lianmei adjusted her emotions and slowly walked out with the door.
When she walked away, You Zixian raised her voice and said, "Since Your Excellency is here, why hide and hide, come in and have a cup of tea." ”
Ji Yucheng walked in from outside the door with a smile, "Peach Forest Immortal Weng Youzi Immortal, I have admired my name for a long time." ”
"There's no need to beat around the bush like this, His Royal Highness the future crown prince of the Song Kingdom." The wanderer slowly turned the teacup and gradually turned his gaze out the door.
When Ji Yucheng heard this, he was not surprised at all, but just smiled and asked, "Do you know me?" ”
"If you want to know something, you might as well say it."
"It's very simple, about Ji Lianmei's life experience, can you give me some advice."
"You won't know half a word about her from my mouth."
Ji Yucheng chuckled:
"Since the Dao Leader is so resolute, then don't blame Yucheng and do it."
When Xiao Yige heard this, he immediately took out his saber and put it on Youzixian's neck.
You Zixian was not afraid, but looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "The gentleman has done something and not done, You has lived for nearly 50 years, and he has lived enough. ”
"Hehe, your life is still useful, I'll leave it for the time being. He may not let you go so easily. Ji Yucheng slowly opened the folding fan in his hand, shook the fan slightly, and turned around and walked towards the peach forest.
After the master and servant left, You Zixian breathed a long sigh of relief, slumped on the table, and couldn't help but admire: "He is worthy of being the future prince of the Song Kingdom, his bearing, and means are not the same." What a terrible enemy. ”
Everyone has the instinct of fear, and what is implied in Ji Yucheng's smile is still the bottomless, ghostly terrifying aura.
Ji Lianmei ran from the outskirts of the city to King Yan's mansion. She had seen it before, and Ji Jingchen had a lot of classics about celestial phenomena, and there should be a record of the five-star sun.
Ji Jingchen's bookshelf is very large, and most of the classics are bamboo and wood slips, which is very difficult to turn over, Ji Lianmei rummaged through the bookshelf, but did not find a book about the five-star sun.
"Hey, little fox, what are you doing here. I don't remember you like to read. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder blade from behind and said with a playful smile.
She didn't have to look up, Ji Lianmei knew that the person who came must be Ji Jingchen, so she said without looking back: "Come on, help me find out, is there a book about the five-star dazzling sun." ”
"Five-star sunburst? When did you become interested in celestial phenomena? I've never been interested in this kind of nonsense, and I don't know where to lose the book. If you really want to know something, tomorrow, I'll find a star official for you to tell you, okay? Ji Jingchen said.
"Alright then, I'm sorry for you."
"Little meaning, if you are happy, this king will be happy."
Ji Lianmei was silent for a moment, her eyes gradually darkened, and she said slowly: "Ji Jingchen, do you know that there was a concubine before the monarch, called Concubine Yun?" ”
You Zixian told her that Concubine Yun was her mother's title in this era.
"Concubine?" Ji Yu Tuo held his cheeks, thought about it seriously, and said, "Probably not long after I was born, I heard the nurses say that this concubine was the most favored concubine of my father at that time, and later I heard that she had an affair with a prince of another country, and my father was furious and sentenced her to death." The day before the execution, she gave birth to a baby and escaped, and has not been heard from since, as if she had disappeared out of thin air. ”
So that's the case, Ji Lianmei clenched her fists tightly. Ji Lianmei understands her mother's temperament, she will definitely not do such a thing.
"What's wrong with you? Suddenly I asked about this.。。 Ji Jingchen asked her curiously.
"No, nothing."
Originally, I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, away from these rights and wrongs. But is that the injustice that my mother has endured here? No, no, I can't leave like this, I want to find out the truth of what happened, even if it's hopeless, I'm going to try.
At night, Ji Lianmei lost sleep. Open the window, look at the railing, and look at the autumn water of a lake.
You Zixian's words were too informative, and she didn't have time to digest them properly. When the five-star sun shines, she can say goodbye to this era completely. But those unsolved mysteries, she didn't know how to start, thinking of this, the young man's elegant and handsome figure gradually appeared in her mind. It seems that no matter what happens, he has a sense of not being surprised.
If it were him, would he be as caught off guard as I was when he encountered such a situation?
