Chapter 7: Peerless Beauty
Incense Pavilion.
Inside the box.
"Childe, you're finally awake."
Hearing the movement, Dillon walked in quickly from the outside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Wuji wake up.
But after finding that Li Wuji was sweating profusely, he couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.
"How long did I sleep?"
Li Wuji wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and asked casually.
"One day and one night."
Dillon replied with a frown.
Hearing Dillon's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect that he had slept for so long.
After calming down, Li Wuji slowly got up and got off the ground, picked up a pot of wine on the table, pushed open the door and came to the corridor, and stood at the railing.
The moment he opened the door, the noisy sound of drinking and music and piano music in the building completely pulled him back to reality.
The dream just now made him fall into endless loneliness again.
He was an orphan who had never met his parents, and it was a miracle that he was able to grow up.
In his memory and in his sleep, the prince and the princess's love for "Liwuji" made him envious and even jealous.
Especially the memory of the crown princess desperately protecting each other, it was imprinted in his mind like a knife and an axe, and every time he woke up from his sleep, he would remember it for a long time.
Maybe it's because the soul is worn on the body of "Li Wuji", he can clearly feel the love and care, although it is only in dreams and memories, out of reach, but he feels it very deeply.
There will even be a moment when he really thinks of them as his real parents.
The bloody battle in the nightmare was the incident when the empress sent troops to suppress the East Palace when "Li Wuji" was five years old, and the situation was so tragic that it was difficult to describe in words.
If it weren't for the crown princess fighting each other, "Li Wuji" might have died at that time, and then he would not have had the opportunity to be reborn here.
In other words, the crown princess saved not only her own son, but also him.
It's just that he hasn't been able to figure out who the person who has left "Wuji" since the chaos of the war is.
"After all this time, is there any news from outside?"
Li Wuji raised his head and took a sip of wine, and asked lightly.
"Back to Gongzi, there is news from Tianshu that all parts of the capital have been strictly guarded by the capital guards, and the Five Elements Division is searching for them throughout the city, and many innocent people have been arrested, it seems that someone wants to use scapegoats to complete the task."
Dillon bowed and replied slowly.
"Find a way to check the details of the Five Elements Division, especially the woman who fought with me, wearing a green gown and using a sword, her martial arts are not weak, and she should not be underestimated."
Li Wuji nodded and commanded in a deep voice.
He didn't say much about innocent people being scapegoated, not even himself, let alone the lives of others.
"Yes."
Dillon bowed in agreement.
"In addition, find a way to find out why Pang Xun suddenly resigned from the position of national teacher and took me to heaven, as well as what happened in the court and China recently, I want to know why the empress waited for fifteen years before suddenly deciding to attack me."
Li Wuji paused for a moment and added.
"Understood!"
Dillon agreed, turned and went downstairs, walking quickly out of the Incense Pavilion.
Li Wuji took a deep breath, still standing by the railing, watching the singing and dancing below, and took another sip of wine.
The liquor passed through his throat, and his drowsy head cleared up a little.
In this strange world, there are too many questions for him that he can't solve for a while.
He couldn't imagine that the gentle and kind princess in his memory, the loving and honest prince, could be a rebellious minister and thief who plotted to kill his father and usurp the throne?!
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from downstairs, accompanied by the exclamations of some male guests.
I saw a woman dressed in purple who appeared at the other end of the second floor at some point, waving to the guests downstairs.
The graceful figure and distinctive temperament made the men below fascinated with a smile and a smile, and their faces were full of obsession.
Li Wuji carried the wine jug, just glanced at it casually and withdrew his gaze, now he has no intention of appreciating the beauty at all.
Perhaps noticing Li Wuji's indifference, I saw that the woman in purple, accompanied by two maid rings, slowly approached the corridor and came to Li Wuji's side.
Watching the goddess in his heart walk to the other man's side, the male guests downstairs glared at Li Wuji fiercely, their eyes full of jealousy.
"I heard that Ning Xiang Pavilion lived in a generous son last night, and it was a thousand taels as soon as he made a move, so I think it's this son, right?"
The woman in purple looked at Li Wuji and smiled smartly.
"It's just something outside the body, but after staying in some places for a long time, I always hope that the surroundings will be lively, so that I can tell that I am still alive."
Li Wuji smiled and replied casually.
"In this case, the son can live as long as he wants, and in the future, this Tianzi No. 1 box will be Childe's, and no one will disturb him."
The woman in purple pointed to the box next to her, still smiling.
"It seems that you are the boss of this Ning Xiang Pavilion, right?"
Li Wuji turned his head to look at the woman in purple and asked softly.
It was the first time he had looked at her squarely, but only at a glance without the slightest pause.
"The little woman Ji Wushuang, I have seen the son, dare to ask the son's surname?"
The woman in purple saluted slightly and asked tentatively.
"Call me Childe Wuji."
Li Wuji paused and replied casually.
"Wuji? There is no pole and there is nothing, there is a pole and there is nothing, a good name. ”
Ji Wushuang silently recited the name Wuji and muttered to himself.
Hearing Ji Wushuang's words, Li Wuji subconsciously turned his head and looked at it again, but he didn't expect a dusty woman to be able to say such philosophical words.
He didn't think about it that much, but he just took the last two words of his name, and the reason why he did it was to attract the attention of the empress in this way.
He never thought of disappearing forever, since he would one day stand on the opposite side of the empress, he should always leave some opportunities.
But coincidentally, he and the woman's names actually have the same "none" character.
"Childe looks a little worried, is there something on his mind?"
Ji Wushuang glanced at Li Wuji again and asked softly, with a little concern in his voice that shouldn't have been.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been away from the capital for too long, many people are no longer there, and I can't figure out many things in the past, and I can't help but feel a little sorry when I think about it by chance."
Li Wuji smiled, casually perfunctory.
"It seems that Childe is here to trace the past, if this is the case, Childe might as well go to find someone, the matter of the capital, there is nothing he doesn't know, there should be the answer that Childe wants."
Ji Wushuang hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Who?"
Li Wuji's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Ghost guy, it's in the depths of the Nine Nether Realm, but he has a strange personality, whether he sees it or not, he can only know if Gongzi goes."
Ji Wushuang pointed in the direction and replied slowly.
"Thank you, girl."
Li Wuji's eyes lit up, and I sincerely thank you.
"You're welcome, since Gongzi lives in Ningxiang Pavilion, he is a distinguished guest here, it's just a gesture, I wish Gongzi all the best."
Ji Wushuang bowed slightly, smiling skillfully.
"This is the first time I've seen a woman salute a man."
Li Wuji looked at Ji Wushuang and pretended not to mention it.
"In these nine nether realms, all the laws and regulations are not so clear, and everything is different from person to person."
Ji Wushuang explained with a smile.
Li Wuji nodded and didn't say anything more, but if it was really like what Ji Wushuang said, then the Nine Netherworld could indeed temporarily block the place to stay, at least there wouldn't be so many phenomena of women being inferior to men.
"The little girl still has some things to deal with, and the son is at her own convenience."
Seeing that Li Wuji had no interest in speaking again, Ji Wushuang said goodbye and slowly turned around and left with Yahuan.
Li Wuji glanced at Ji Wushuang's back and raised his eyebrows.
There was a gut that told him that the owner of this art studio seemed to have something different.
After a stick of incense, Dillon went and returned, returning to the Incense Pavilion.
Li Wuji immediately took Dillon out of the Condensing Fragrance Pavilion and walked towards the depths of the Nine Nether Realm, he wanted to meet the so-called ghost guy for a while.
If it's really like what Ji Wushuang said, maybe this trip can really solve some of the doubts in my heart...
