3 Chapter 3
No matter who Jiang Yan is, in Siluo's eyes, she is the key to the survival of these people, their net worth is tied to her, they are grasshoppers on a vine, so after a short hesitation, she still chose to tell Jiang Yan about the experience of the owner of this body.
Jiang Yu listened to the other party's narration quietly and did not make any comments, but the feeling in her heart was a little weird.
She has the will to die not for a day or two or a year or two, a long time ago, I don't know when it began, she has no longer have nostalgia for this world, the reason why she is still barely alive is that on the one hand, she remembers the promise to the deceased, on the other hand, she is also worried that if she really seeks death, it will affect the people around her.
Such a long period of pessimism and anxiety had worn away almost all of her curiosity, and she was not interested in anything.
Although she has changed her identity now, it stands to reason that her soul and consciousness still belong to "Jiang Yan", and her thinking and thoughts should be the same as usual.
But during the time when Siluo told her about Chu's life, Jiang Yu had already noticed something very different.
She actually listened to the other party's words.
As Siluo narrates, Jiang Yu can clearly feel her fluctuating emotions - pity, curiosity, doubt, etc., just like a normal person's reaction when he hears a novel story.
But Jiang Yu has been sick for a long time, and she is not a normal person.
But at this moment, the surging emotions in her chest seemed to take her back to the time when she was not sick and was a normal and healthy person.
When she was attracted by Chu's story, even the death intent that haunted her like a devil was temporarily far away from her.
It was the first time in years that she hadn't thought about how to die all the time.
Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Siluo couldn't help but stop and said worriedly, "You...... Did you hear me? β
Jiang Yu was concentrating on two things, thinking about her illness on the one hand, and actually listening to Siluo's words on the other hand.

Now the Central Plains is divided into three parts of the world, and Daqin has the largest land area, and only one province is missing to dominate the entire north; The Jin Dynasty was located in the southeast, with both water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and fertile soil for thousands of miles, and regarded itself as orthodox in the Central Plains; Wei is located in the southwest, said to be a country, in fact, most of it has been returned to Qin, only one of the illegitimate sons of the king of Wei was left to stand on his own in the southwest, and reluctantly established a small court.
In addition, it is the Moliao country on the Mobei grassland, because it is a foreign race, it is not among the three countries of the Central Plains.
The Chu family is the high-ranking family of the Jin Dynasty.
Chu's daughter, Yan Qinhua, from a prominent background, is the eldest daughter of Chu Dongyang, the Taishi of the Jin Kingdom, and in a sense, she is also the younger sister of the Jin Emperor.
The reigning Jin Emperor is named Changwen, when Jiang Yu was in Daqin, everyone called the emperor of the neighboring country Emperor Changwen, and the emperor had a wife when he ascended the throne as a teenager, but unfortunately the queen died early, and the later position was idle.
At that time, the Chu clan was powerful, and there were many famous officials in the court and the opposition, and it happened that Chu Dongyang was ordered to send an envoy to the Great Qin, with a lotus tongue, with a very clever diplomatic skill without a single soldier to stop the Qin and Jin soldiers, and signed a ten-year covenant, since then the border has restored peace that has never been seen in a hundred years, and also won the opportunity for the people of both countries to recuperate.
Since then, Chu Dongyang has been famous all over the world and is known as the first minister in the world.
In order to envelop the Chu family, and in order to show favor to Chu Dongyang, Emperor Changwen took the daughter of the Chu family as the successor and officially registered it as the middle palace.
These are all things that Jiang Yu already knew before.
Before she died, Emperor Changwen had just married his teacher's daughter, Chu Qinhua.
And that was three years ago.
"Three years? In this way, it is now ......" Jiang Yu roughly converted the following: "Eleventh year of Changwen? β
Siluo nodded and hesitated, "What's wrong?" β
Jiang Yu was speechless for a moment, and then said softly: "I died in the eighth year of Changwen......"
Silo's face twitchedβshe even remembered the time of death, more like the truth.
Jiang Yu didn't expect that three years of her efforts to close her eyes would pass like this.
Three years is not long, but it is enough to say that it is not long, but it is enough to be human.
Jiang Yu forced herself not to think about the past, let alone the people before her, but just asked about the situation in front of her: "What has Queen Chu experienced in the past three years?" This place shouldn't be a palace, right? β
What are the rules and pomp in the palace Jiang Yu couldn't be clearer, even if she changed countries, it must be very different, not to mention that the Jin Dynasty respected the ancient style and rules more than the Qin Dynasty, and the queen's bedroom of a country must not be so simple, if she is sick, it will definitely not be possible to guard these few people.
At the mention of this, Siluo's expression darkened: "This is the Fenghe Palace...... The queen was not in good health, so she cultivated here. β
Jiang Yu could feel that this body was indeed a little weak, and she was already a little dizzy after sitting here for just a cup of tea. However, compared to her own original body, it can already be regarded as very healthy......
Also, the sick queen was moved out of the court, which didn't sound so normal.
It turned out that it was just three years in the blink of an eye for Jiang Yan, but for Queen Chu, it was like a nightmare.
At first, it was quite smooth, and Emperor Changwen didn't have a soft spot for Chu, but there was still respect and decency.
Not long after entering the palace, Chu Qinhua was successfully pregnant, and after the pregnancy in October, the little prince was born smoothly, which made the entire Chu family very happy, because the queen did not give birth to an heir for Emperor Changwen, although the little prince ranked fourth, but he was the real eldest son, according to the patriarchal law, this is the future prince.
But all good things are not completely smooth, the good times did not last long, and the prince who was not yet a year old fell ill and died.
The Chu family was naturally very disappointed, but thinking that the queen was still young, and there would be time to give birth to a prince in the future, they gradually threw away their hands.
But it is precisely because of her youth that Queen Chu's mind is still immature, the pain of losing her son is extraordinary, and her scheming city government is not enough to make her behave as if nothing happened, so the whole person becomes impatient and irritable, and has many disputes with the emperor, and there are many harsh criticisms of concubines and imperial heirs.
If this is the case, it is not unbearable for Emperor Changwen to understand her loss of her beloved son, but Chu Qinhua heard a rumor out of nowhere that the cause of the little prince's death was a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster, so he was obsessed with the fact that someone in the harem killed her son.
As for who in the palace wants the little prince to disappear, it is really clear,
She is young in the end, and she grew up surrounded by servant women at home, when she encounters this kind of thing, the first thing that comes to mind is not to quietly investigate, but to go to Emperor Changwen to confront her, and insist that it was the biological mother of the eldest prince, Concubine Shu, who murdered the little prince, without evidence, Emperor Changwen naturally could not interrogate Concubine Shu according to her intentions, and the two quarreled about it.
In the excitement, Chu Qinhua even scratched the emperor.
Emperor Changwen was furious and couldn't bear her, but the Chu family was powerful, and he still couldn't easily dispose of the queen, for the sake of the face of the teacher, Emperor Changwen had to pinch his nose to cover up for Chu Qinhua, and he suppressed the matter with all his might, and only said that the queen was too sad for the death of the prince, worried about it, and took the initiative to ask to go to the palace to recuperate.
Chu Qinhua gave birth at a young age, experienced dystocia, was already weak, experienced the loss of a child and moved to the palace and suffered a double blow, in the Fenghe Palace was very unhappy, and then the house leak happened to rain overnight, to the palace two days later, she accidentally fell during a walk, just fell her head on a raised and sharp rockery, and died on the spot.
When she was sent back to the room, Queen Chu's pulse and breathing stopped, and even the imperial doctor only symbolically rescued her, who would have thought that Chu Qinhua was not saved, but dragged Jiang Yan, a person who was bent on death, over.
Siluo's expression was gloomy: "Since the death of the little prince, everything has taken a turn for the worse, nothing is going well, we originally thought that it would be good to leave the palace, and wait for the mother to slowly calm down and be soft on Your Majesty, naturally there will be a day to return to the palace, who knows......"
She looked at Jiang Yan: "We are slaves and maids, we have never been able to be our own masters, and we are all tied to our masters, so we ...... Aren't you really a mother? β
Jiang Yan's voice was low: "I don't need to deceive you, I am indeed just a lonely ghost, and I shouldn't have occupied Queen Chu's body, but I can't tell how I got here." β
Siluo smiled bitterly, and since then she has fully believed Jiang Yan's words, she said: "Haven't ghosts always wanted to return to yang, why are you bent on death." β
Jiang Yu was silent at first, and after a long time she replied in a very soft voice: "It is not unusual for some people to want to live and some to die." β
