The Words of the Number One - Chapter 79
When I saw Ji Yang, exactly one month had passed since Ji Yu was caught. At this time, in the middle of the first month, the Zhou Palace was full of lanterns and festoons, and the atmosphere was lively. I was called by the Empress Dowager Cai to chat with her all afternoon. Somewhat similar to the young emperor.
Ji Yang frowned subconsciously, and her face was gloomy, as if she had something pent up inside. He looked at me for a moment and said, “Your Excellency is Xianqi’s Ninth Princess?”
I saluted him yes.
When I came to Luoyi half a month ago, I met Song Changjun by accident. He was funded by the late emperor to travel around the world to write history books. Song Changjun asked me in surprise why I came here, this time I didn’t lie to him again. I told him that Ye Sichen is actually Ji Yu, and I became his handmaid at the wedding banquet in Song Dynasty, now he is captured by Ji Yang and I want to save Ji Yu.
Although Song Changjun was shocked, he quickly forgave my deception and promised to help me. He said that he had always wanted to visit Ji Yu to write his biography, but after Ji Yang captured Ji Yu, he kept him in secret and never let anyone see him. The new emperor was so moody that he dared not ask to see Ji Yu.
—If you can really rescue Young Master Ji Yu, please let him meet me, I really want to write a biography for him.
When Song Changjun said this to me, his eyes lit up, which made me a little dumbfounded.
I don’t need Song Changjun to do anything, I just want him to admit my identity and take me in and out of the palace. With the identity of Xianqi Nine Princesses, it will be convenient for me to do all kinds of things in the palace, and when I followed Song Changjun in and out of the palace, I met Gu Ling again.
Gu Ling’s acting skills have improved after so many things. Although he showed a surprised expression when he saw me for the first time, it was not exaggerated to the point of revealing his secrets. He secretly called me to a secluded place to discuss Ji Yu’s matter, our purpose is naturally the same – to rescue Ji Yu.
He told me that Ji Yang was very wary of him, and he was not allowed to interfere in anything about Ji Yu. During this period of time, he observed and guessed that Ji Yu was imprisoned in the underground water prison in the palace, so he should still be alive. The organs in the water prison are heavily guarded, only Ji Yang keeps the key, and he can’t get it.
Gu Ling and I were chatting about Ji Yu in the corner, unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Cai passed by and saw that we seemed to be close, thinking that we had broken our private meeting. I naturally deepened Empress Dowager Cai’s misunderstanding. Empress Dowager Cai thought that the two of us admired each other, and was very relieved for a while.
She seems to love Gu Ling very much, and most women of this age like to be matchmakers. In order to give us more chances to meet each other, she always asks me to enter the palace to talk with her, and let me go to Gu Ling after a few words. Fortunately, she took Gu Ling’s embarrassment as shyness, otherwise Gu Ling’s acting skills would not be able to hold up.
After going in and out of the palace countless times, I finally saw Ji Yang.
He frowned and looked me up and down for a while, then said he wanted to have a few words with me alone, and led me to the pavilion in the garden to push back the servants.
Ji Yang put her hands behind her back and said mockingly: “I heard that you and Gu Ling are in love, and the Queen Mother intends to ask me to give you a marriage. But Gu Ling is the son of a criminal minister and you come from a royal family, so he must have favored you.”
“No.” I replied flatly.
“Then do you know why Gu Ling is still alone in his thirties? There was a man with whom he was in love as a childhood sweetheart but died young, and he always remembered that person in his heart. I’m afraid His Highness will be wronged.”
I raised my eyes to look at him, and Ji Yang’s eyes looked malicious.
This person seems to be unhappy, and he hopes that everyone in the world will be equally unhappy. Seeing the slightest sign of other people’s happiness has to be pinched.
I showed a little jealousy appropriately, but still said firmly: “The dead cannot be chased. Everyone has a lot of past, and I don’t want to be entangled with the past. I want to have a new start and move on with my life.”
Ji Yang froze for a moment, then he frowned and repeated in a low voice: “A new beginning?”
It seems that there is a lot of confusion and unwillingness.
He suddenly changed the subject and said, “I’ve heard of Lingjie’s reputation as the Seventh Princess of Qi, but I’ve never heard of you. You grew up with her at the same age, so I’m afraid you’ll be overwhelmed by her everywhere.” ?”
“It’s more than one end.” I smiled and said frankly: “I was raised by the same queen as Qiqi, and I have been inferior to her in everything since I was a child. Like looks, dancing, playing the piano, female celebrity, calligraphy and painting, everything that Qiqi comes out to show everyone They are all full of praise, but what I do can only make everyone laugh. As your Majesty can see, compared to Qi Qi, I am too ordinary.”
“You don’t hate her?” Ji Yang’s eyes were filled with a hint of ruthlessness.
I stared at Ji Yang for a while, then sighed: “To be honest, I hated it. She can get thousands of favors without doing anything, and no one will care about me. When I was young, I also thought about whether to secretly It hurts her, but she trusts me and never guards against me, and I am not willing to lose her care and love for me.”
“Later, as I got older, I felt less hatred. In fact, she didn’t do anything wrong to me, but without her, there are two other beauties, and dozens of princesses. There are too many excellent people, I really can’t hate them. What’s more, when the Qi State was destroyed, everyone was fighting for her. She died of the notoriety of wreaking havoc on the four countries, but I survived. Everything has a price, and now I don’t envy her. Don’t hate her. If I can, I hope she survives and lives well, because she is one of the few relatives I have after all.”
After I finished my thoughts, Ji Yang supported the railings around the pavilion, his eyes were fixed and he didn’t know what he was thinking. He seemed to be in a trance, and said subconsciously: “Actually, he…protected me when I was young.”
The winter wind blows through a solemn and desolate garden, and the red lanterns hanging everywhere are lit. Ji Yang gritted her teeth and said angrily, “But who should be blamed for the pain and suffering you have suffered? Why should you be despised and ridiculed when you obviously did nothing wrong?”
I smiled slightly, met his resentful eyes and said: “There are too many unreasonable things in this world. If I care about everything, how can I continue to live? The pain I have suffered will be compensated by the person I love in the future. , my pain will be healed. I think everyone is like this, I am like this, Gu Ling is like this, and Your Majesty will be like this.”
When Ji Yang was in a daze, suddenly a guard hurried over and said something in Ji Yang’s ear. Ji Yang’s expression changed drastically and he hurriedly left with the guards. I watched his back and silently clenched my fists.
Just now I vaguely heard the guard say the words “water prison” and “suicide”.
What is Ji Yu doing? Did he commit suicide?
He promised me to work hard to live, Pei Mu survived the two years of torture, I don’t believe he will commit suicide.
Then he was betting that Ji Yang didn’t want him to die now. It was the first time I saw an emotional emperor like Ji Yang. He seemed to arrest and imprison Ji Yu because of the grudges in his heart, but now he hesitated after being caught. Such a person does everything in a single thought and is really not suitable to be a ruler. If it weren’t for the son of the first emperor, the other sons would have died young or were young, and it would be his turn to be the prince.
I wanted to believe in Ji Yu but I was always uneasy. After I went back, I heard that there was a commotion in the palace that day. Ji Yang recruited several imperial physicians into the palace, but I didn’t know who was injured in the palace.
When Empress Dowager Cai invited me into the palace again, I asked about it, pretending to worry about her health. The queen mother sighed and said no, she hesitated to speak and could only continue to sigh.
Empress Dowager Cai is weak and kind. I guess she doesn’t agree with Ji Yang’s actions but she can’t persuade her to come back.
“Sometimes the Ai family really doesn’t know what’s wrong with that child, how can there be so much hatred in their hearts. He even published a private letter and even offered a reward for his younger brother Ji Yu’s arrest. The dissatisfaction of Xianyan’s important town was very loud, If the one who captured Ji Yu this time was not Fan but Song…I’m afraid Song would go straight to Luoyi after taking those lands.” Empress Dowager Cai patted the table and sighed.
I followed her words and said, “Don’t you want to persuade Your Majesty, Queen Mother?”
“I can’t persuade him, he won’t even tell me the reason for arresting Ji Yu.”
“I don’t know how Young Master Ji Yu is now. If His Majesty refuses to tell you if he is still alive, Young Master Ji Yu may not be willing to talk about it.” I reminded casually.
Empress Dowager Cai was thoughtful upon hearing this.
On the third day, Gu Ling met with me. He said that according to my request, he secretly followed the Queen Mother yesterday and finally found Ji Yu’s location. Ji Yu attempted suicide but was seriously injured. Ji Yang placed him in an extremely remote palace to recuperate. Without the traps of the water prison, the people around him were less vigilant.
Gu Ling said with a bad complexion that he saw doctors walking around Ji Yu in the tree. The side effect of Ji Yu’s invulnerability to all poisons is that most of the medicines have no effect on him, so the treatment is very difficult. Ji Yu’s whole body was scarred and weak, as if she was only holding a breath. Even so, Empress Dowager Cai still asked many questions, and Ji Yu answered them one by one.
Empress Dowager Cai burst into tears during the period, and went straight to find Ji Yang after listening. Gu Ling lay on the roof of Ji Yang’s house to listen to them secretly, and vaguely heard the sound of Empress Dowager Cai crying.
—I’m sorry, Aijia ignored you, but Aijia has always been proud of you.
—You let him go, he is your brother.
—Yang’er, start over.
He heard Empress Dowager Cai’s cries intermittently, and kept persuading Ji Yang. But Ji Yang’s voice in response was vague, with a bit of confusion in his tone.
“The guards around Ji Yu are not so strict now, so I’m still sure to rescue him. It’s just that his physical condition is too bad, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear any setbacks.” Gu Ling worried.
Mo Xiao and Nan Su have already arrived in Luoyi, so it should not be difficult to escape from Luoyi with them. It’s just that Ji Yang has been shaken at this time, and taking the opportunity to escape may make him feel that his soft heart is being used to make him even more furious, and he doesn’t know what else to do if he becomes crazy.
After thinking about it, I told Gu Ling to wait a little longer, and I will find a way to get Nan Su to enter the palace to help him. Nan Su Qinggong is very good at surveillance. They can pay more attention to Ji Yu and Ji Yang’s situation during this time.
Nan Su then entered the palace as the maid I gave to Gu Ling, and followed Gu Ling around. Two days later, she received news that Ji Yang went to talk to Ji Yu, and they talked for a whole day before leaving. Because Ji Yang brought many guards, she didn’t hear what they were talking about, but the process was very peaceful, and there seemed to be no quarrel.
Three days later, several remote palaces in Zhou Palace caught fire, and within half a day they were finally extinguished, and a charred body was found. The emperor of Zhou, Ji Yang, announced to the world that Ji Yu died of suicide and left a letter before his death, confessing his sins one by one.
Meanwhile, I finally meet Ji-yuk.
The real Ji Yu was rescued by Nan Su and Gu Ling. Ji Yu was covered in scars, and the deep scars on her wrists were the most obvious. He had been tortured for more than half a month before committing suicide, and was so weak that he seemed ready to die at any time. The moment I saw him, he hugged me, his body was heavy but I didn’t want to let go, he whispered in my ear: “I made a deal with Ji Yang…he let me out on purpose. From now on… there will be no more Ji Yu in this world…”
I stroked his back and said in a trembling voice: “Okay…okay.”
“I gave him…the token of the treasury…it was originally reserved for you as a dowry…madam…you are going to marry a prodigal.” He teased weakly.
He gave the property to Lingshang Laiying to manage, but the treasures accumulated over the years are all in the treasury, and the amount is very huge. This sum of money was what Jiang Sanzhi wanted back then.
With this money, Zhou’s treasury was greatly enriched.
“Then you…replenish it to me later.”
“Okay…ten times a hundred times…I’ll give it to you.”
I laughed and said, but laughed and cried.
He came back to me alive.
God, I have made a wish to you many times, the so-called happy gentleman has a long life, thank you for blessing my wish.
Now I earnestly beg you that I am the one who makes him happy, so that I too can be happy.
please.
April 13th is suitable for marriage.
In the picturesque town of Weiguo Mountain City, the red carpet is spread from the entrance of a simple and exquisite house in the center of the town to the ferry outside the town. An extremely exquisite painting boat with carved railings and paintings was parked on the ferry, and I was sitting in this painting boat.
Xia Wan tidied up the last wrinkle of the vermilion wedding dress for me. It was the best Huani brocade in Kyushu, embroidered with mandarin ducks, flowing water and auspicious clouds with gold thread, which was extremely exquisite. Xia Wan took the gold-plated phoenix crown from Bi Ping’s hand and put it on my head, and said with a smile, “Miss, you are so pretty.”
The tassels on the phoenix crown hang down on my forehead, and I look at the woman in the bronze mirror, with red lips and black eyebrows, and there is a little light in her eyes when she smiles. I used to think she was ordinary, but today I suddenly felt that she was also very good-looking.
I stroked the embroidery on the clothes and asked Xia Wan, “Where did he get so much money?”
“Of course it was given by Lai Ying. She made a lot of money by taking advantage of the shortage of supplies in the scuffle in various countries. It’s because the business can’t be spared, and I can’t make it today.” Xia Wan smiled and shook her head, and put the green jade bracelet on my hand. Said: “Laiying is really suitable for doing business. From now on, the young master will be able to live well with the interest given by Laiying.”
I looked up at her, Xia Wan covered her lips with her hand and said, “Ah, I can’t call you son from now on, but sir.”
This town was my favorite, so Ji Yu bought real estate here. In the custom of getting married here, if a woman’s parents are dead, she will be married from the boat, and we will go to the countryside to do as the Romans do. I got on this boat early today to prepare.
The sound of firecrackers outside the window sounded, Xia Wan went to the window and lifted the curtain to take a look, then came back and helped me up and said—Mr. is here to pick you up.
I felt nervous for a while, Xia Wan helped me walk to the gate of the boat, the ferry was bustling with people from the town, the sound of firecrackers resounded across the sky, and Ji Yu was dressed in red in the red confetti falling from the sky. Wearing a red hair band, he is shockingly handsome. He stood at the ferry and smiled at me.
Nearly two years ago, I also met him at the big drum, which was a scheduled wedding.
He bowed to me from a distance to salute, holding a piece of red silk in his hands, and said loudly: “You are my beloved, I sincerely love you, please allow me to marry you as my wife. We will be united forever, and we will have children forever. “
Xia Wan went to take back the red silk in his hand and handed it to me. When I opened it, it was a gold pendant carved in the shape of a peach blossom.
He is jade, and he offers me gold, a good match between gold and jade.
Xia Wan asked me: “Is the girl allowed?”
I put the pendant back into my sleeve and said, “Yun.”
Xia Wan turned around and said loudly: “Yun!”
The drums sounded again, the firecrackers sounded again, and the wind was wrapped in red confetti like a rain of flowers. Xia Wan held my hand and walked towards Ji Yu step by step, and he stood there and stretched out his hand to me, waiting for me to approach.
In fact, he always came to me, and when I escaped, he found me again, time and time again.
This is the first time I’ve approached him.
I watched his picturesque eyebrows get closer and closer, and his smile was beautiful. Then Xia Wan handed my hand to Ji Yu, and Ji Yu clenched my hand tightly, and the people watching the ceremony burst into applause. He held my hand and walked towards our home step by step along the red carpet. Nansu Moxiao, who was leading the way, carried a small basket and kept waving wedding candies around. The children shouted happily, and everyone cheered. Saying congratulations.
When we walked to a stone bridge, Ji Yu turned around and said to me, “Ma’am, I will carry you.”
On that day long, long ago, he also said to me under Muyun’s husband and wife bridge—“It is said that if the man in the husband and wife walks across this bridge with the woman on his back, they can grow old together. Come on, I will carry you.” It was winter at that time , the flow of people is like weaving red lanterns hanging all over the street.
I froze for a moment and was picked up by him, and there were laughter and admiration all around me.
I hugged his neck and whispered in his ear, “There seems to be no legend about this bridge.”
Ji Yu turned her head slightly and replied, “I don’t think so, but I want to carry you on my back.”
We all laughed, and I seem to be having a lot of fun lately.
He said: “Then let us be like glue, grow old together, and become the legend of this bridge.”
I buried my head on the side of his neck and said, “Okay, husband.”
Let’s love each other, let’s be happy.
Let’s be legends.
In the first year of King Xian of Zhou, Ji Yu, the number one lobbyist in Kyushu, died, and everyone in the world sighed. The Three Kingdoms of Fan, Zhao and Yu divided Wu, Song and Zhou went to war, and Zhou perished five years later. Since then, Song has dominated for decades. Zhao Wang said that if there is no Ji Yu in the world, the strong will become stronger and the weak will remain weak, and there will be no one who can control the situation like him.
Song Changjun, the originator of later historians, published his history books decades after the death of Zhou Dynasty. Among them, the biography of Ji Yu is particularly informative. In the biography, it is mentioned that Jiang Jiuqing, the nine princesses of the former Qi Dynasty, had to deal with the chaos of the Four Kingdoms and was extremely intelligent, and her planning was not inferior to Ji Yu. Later, they joined hands with Ji Yu and became very affectionate, and the two retired to the countryside. The wealthy family has a long line of children, and they never leave each other.
Times are different. Hundreds of years later, the legend of beauties has passed away, and only the names of Ji Yu and Jiang Jiuqing have been handed down to the world.
——When we become legends, even after a hundred years of loess and bones, we will also be dependent on each other in the annals of history.
This is our end.
