Wei Ci pursed his lips. Did he really think that he and Jiang Yi were in the same boat? When he and Jiang Xiao looked at each other, his mind seemed to be sucked away by that pair of misty, deep eyes.
At this moment, he forgot how to speak, and at the same time, forgot how to respond.
Jiang Xiao? Seeing his dazed look, Ji burst out laughing. Ignoring the injury on her shoulder, she got up and walked to Wei Ci. Her uninjured right hand caressed his face. The action was intimate, like a lover whispering softly, revealing an indescribable decadence, making Wei Ci's ears turn red.
If this action was done by a hooligan, it would be frivolous. But the person in front of him was Jiang Xiao? Ji.
She and Wei Ci could be considered as an unregistered husband and wife. This intimate action added to the fun.
"Are you afraid of me, Zixiao?"
Jiang Xiao? Ji's lips curled up. Wei Ci then realized that his lord's lips were very pale and thinner than usual.
"Afraid? Where did this come from? "Wei Ci regained his senses and covered Jiang Xiao with his warm and broad palm. Ji gently rubbed the back of her hand, "I'm just a little confused. Why did you do this? Do you still remember what you promised before? Why did you put yourself in danger this time? "
In his previous life, Wei Ci might not have realized it, but in this life, he could see it very clearly. His lord was best at tricking people.
For example, this time, wasn't the so-called mastermind behind the scenes the person in front of him?
Wei Ci was not angry at her tricking people, but at her disregard for her own safety. She actually took the risk and came back with a body full of injuries.
Jiang Xiao? Ji heard the second half of the sentence and immediately felt guilty.
She tried to retract her hand. Unexpectedly, Wei Ci, who had always been gentle, also became tough for once and grabbed her hand suddenly.
The two of them were in a stalemate, looking into each other's eyes, neither willing to give in first.
After a long time, Jiang Xiao? Ji Xian was terrified.
However, she would not admit that she was henpecked.
How could loving, understanding, and respecting one's partner be henpecked?
"This time, I …"
Jiang Xiao? Ji Xian wanted to say something soft, but Wei Ci pursed his lips tightly and poked her wound with his other free hand.
Jiang Xiao, who had always been unflinching even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her? Ji Yunshu gave him face and had to hide for a while. She said softly, "Zixiao, it will hurt."
She thought that by acting coquettishly and giving in to Wei Ci, she would be able to pass this hurdle. She did not expect Wei Ci to have his own tricks up his sleeve.
"Is my lord really in pain?"
A certain someone who could keep a straight face even when his hand was severed showed a sincere expression and nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic.
She was a patient now. No matter what she had done before, the most important thing now was to coax her and care for her.
Let's just forget about the danger I put myself in previously. Can't we just pretend that it never happened?
However, Wei Ci said, "It turns out that my lord also has a body of flesh and blood. You've never cultivated the indestructible body of Vajra, and you're not as invulnerable as immortals."
Ginger? Ji Yunshu curled her lips and said something perverted, "If it's really invulnerable, Wen Zheng and the rest will cry."
If it was really invulnerable, Young Master wouldn't be able to make it, let alone make it.
Wei Ci was a righteous boy, did he not hear Jiang's voice? He suppressed his anger and said to her, "Alright, since my lord still has a body of flesh and blood, there will be a moment of death. If the enemy's arrow did not pierce into your shoulder, but your heart or near your heart, based on the structure of the arrowhead just now, does my lord think that your heart will still be intact? If the heart is damaged, can you still live? "
On the drill ground, Ginger? Ji Yunshu pulled out the arrow without changing her expression. The wound was badly mangled by the barbs.
The wound that was originally only the width of a finger was twisted by the barbs to the width of three fingers. The flesh was even scratched out.
Wei Ci felt pain just by looking at it. Even if she did not even frown, his heart would ache.
"My lord's words carry enormous weight. Why did you go back on your word this time?"
Who was the one who promised Wei Ci that he would not mess around anymore and that he would not risk his life as a joke?
Ginger? Ji Yunshu said, "I have my reasons."
Wei Ci said, "If I can't share your worries, what's the use of having me? My lord, why can't you let me do the things that you must do? "
Ginger? Ji Yunshu smiled helplessly, "Let you experience today's assassination? Zixiao, you'll lose your life. "
"How do you know that I'm not willing to risk my life for you, my lord?" Wei Ci gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing! From my previous life to this life, I have never flinched. Even if my lord's injury is not enough to threaten your life, I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you. "
Ginger? Ji Yunshu frowned. Only then did she realize that Wei Ci was really angry.
Wei Ci would not show his anger on his face when he was angry, but his anger was no less stressful than his emotional outbursts.
"… I suddenly have a question. In my previous life, did His Majesty really reach the end of his lifespan by riding the dragon to the sky?" Wei Ci did not know why he thought of this. The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. As intelligent as he was, he could not sort out these messy emotions. "Did he risk his life again?"
Not waiting for Ginger? Ji Yunshu opened her mouth. Wei Ci said with reddened eyes, "No matter if His Majesty really rode the dragon to the sky or if he once again risked his life to clean up the Qing Dynasty and eliminate dissidents for His Highness Jiang Yan … No matter if His Majesty is dead or alive, Wei Zixiao is really dead. He committed suicide."
Ginger? Ji Yunshu's expression was solemn.
"My lord, you naturally have your reasons for doing this. As a subject, I shouldn't ask too much. But Wei Ci is not only your subject, but also your lover, right?" Wei Ci asked her, "If my lord makes the first move, do you think I will die for my lord or for my love?"
Ginger? Ji Yunshu said, "I have to do it."
"But you can remind me," Wei Ci continued, "This batch of students from the Golden Scale Academy is my lord's painstaking effort, and also my lord's. Because of you, I hope that they will be safe and sound more than anyone else. They are related to the future plans, and even more so to my lord's great cause. You only need to reveal one or two things, and I will naturally follow your footsteps. In my lord's heart, is Wei Ci a smart person or a fool? "
If he was a smart person, with one or two clues, would he not be able to guess that Ginger? Ji Yunshu's thoughts would not be able to keep up with her footsteps?
If he was a fool, even if Ginger? Ji Yunshu told him the detailed information, he would not be able to understand her intentions.
Ginger? Ji Yunshu did not give Wei Ci any time to react. Wei Ci's previous words were still lingering in her mind.
In her previous life, not long after the news of her riding the dragon to bury the heavens spread, Wei Ci committed suicide. Whether his suicide was forced by the situation or voluntary, or both, the result was obvious. Wei Ci was dead. But what about her previous life? Was she really dead?
She analyzed the information that Wei Ci had revealed and combined it with her understanding of herself. Ji Yunshu felt that it was unlikely.
Perhaps, it was another entrapment.
However, this entrapment was a failure. It lost Wei Cong the First's high-spirited spirit, and also Wei Ci's life.
When this guess appeared in her mind, there was a faint but not negligible stabbing pain in her chest.
After a long time, Ginger? Ji Yunshu half-squatted in front of Wei Ci, her line of sight level with him.
She leaned forward, and their foreheads touched. She sighed softly, "I'm sorry, there won't be a next time."
A mere eleven words lightly brushed away the suppressed uneasiness, anger, and bitterness in Wei Ci's heart.
In the face of this person, his principles and bottom line were like a fart.
"My lord does not need to apologize."
Wei Ci's voice lowered, but because of his anger just now, it was a little hoarse.
"Zixiao, you want to see Ginger? Ji? "
Wei Ci's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had received a great shock.
Ginger? Ji put her hands on his shoulders and laughed softly.
"The person that the world knows of will always be labeled as' Liu Xi '." Ji Yunshu's hand touched the base of his ear, her fingers pinching his bloodshot earlobe as she said, "But, Zixiao, the name that you want to hear, the person that you want to see, from the beginning to the end, isn't it 'Jiang'? 'Ji'? I want to tear off the identity of 'Liu Xi' and restore the original name that we have been familiar with for many years. "
When she said this, Wei Ci suddenly understood the intention of the other party's scheme.
The familiar entrapment, the familiar killing many birds with one stone.
Her meticulous calculations and extremely coquettish operation had never disappointed Wei Ci.
Jiang? Ji Yunshu said, "Most of the students in the Golden Scale Academy come from commoners, not even poor families. More than half of them have no parents and are all alone. Without relatives or family background, they can only rely on themselves. Unfortunately, they are just ordinary people and can only be pawns in other people's games. Everything is beyond their control. I said before, I don't blame them. If you want to blame someone, blame those who have extended their claws too far. "
Wei Ci woke up from the quarrel just now and immediately went into work mode.
"My lord, you mean …"
"Find a reason to flare up and chop off these claws. There's no excuse more powerful than the fact that I was assassinated and almost lost my life … "Jiang? Ji Yunshu snorted coldly, "I originally just wanted to get rid of these guys and at the same time beat up the others who didn't have time to act so that they would know their place. Most of the students in the Golden Scale Academy will be involved in politics. Whether they stay in the imperial court or be appointed as local officials, they have unlimited potential. Controlling them is equivalent to controlling the resources that they will have in the future. How could I allow this to happen? If I let those people have their way, will the imperial examinations in the future be for me and the country to nurture talents or for them to choose eagle claws? "
Wei Ci said, "But my lord chose Lady Liu."
Lady Liu should have controlled that student a long time ago and used him as a hidden pawn that might come in handy in the future.
In the end, my lord dug him out and even secretly impersonated Lady Liu to give the student the order to assassinate me.
Fishing for justice, killing with a borrowed knife, and finally making Lady Liu take the blame for the assassination.
Jiang? Ji Yunshu said, "There's a reason why I chose Lady Liu. I want to make a clean break with them and at the same time, make them put away their ambitions."
"Making a clean break with them was to restore the name 'Jiang? Ji 'and make them put away their ambitions because of my children? "
Jiang? Ji Yunshu spread her hands and said, "Yes, I still don't have any children, which made Lady Liu ambitious and have ideas that they shouldn't have. They set up more than one hidden weapon in the Golden Scale Academy. They bribed a few more outstanding students who didn't have outstanding results. Those students have a promising future. Their studies aren't top-notch, but their temperaments are suitable for officialdom and they will be able to do well in the future. If they can stand firm in the imperial court, wouldn't it be equivalent to Lady Liu controlling real power? If my children can be born and grow up in the future, it'll be fine. If they don't or die young, they'll definitely advise me to adopt one. If I'm unfortunate enough to die, Lady Liu will benefit the most in the end … "
The people of Lady Liu that Wei Ci had met before appeared in his mind.
"This idea is the idea of Clan Leader Liu Heng?"
The previous Clan Leader Liu Heng? Cheng Si? Fu Na Shu???
Since Liu Heng? Taunted Chu Song? Fu Na Shu? Kip Cun Locust Inn collapsed? Locust blinked? Fu? Fu Kuhui? Swoosh ¢Health?
In order not to affect Lady Liu, Liu Heng? Instigated by Miao Mei? Crotch?
Now the Clan Leader of Lady Liu was Liu Heng, who was also Jiang? Ji Yunshu's cousin in this body.
Wei Ci and Liu Heng? Marriage? Hypocrisy? Nanny? Responsibility? Private hoisting reed?? Jieyin? Hissing ridges and poking brimstone?
On the contrary, the father and son were quite smart.
Even if they had ambitions, they wouldn't give them to Jiang? Ji's weakness.
Jiang? Ji Yunshu shook her head. "It's not Cousin Brother's. The internal situation of the Liu family is a little complicated. This matter even implicates Gu Zhen, my stepmother."
"Why is Lady Gu Zhen also …"
"Lady Gu Zhen will be involved because she also has ambitions." Ji Yunshu wanted to hide it, but thinking of her promise, she revealed a few words, "However, her ambitions were not big at first. It was just that I fanned the flames and pushed her from behind … "
Wei Ci was dumbfounded. Three questions lingered in his mind.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Why did the lord plot against Lady Gu Zhen as well? Killing many birds with one stone, taking care of Lady Liu, the restless aristocrats, and Gu Zhen?
Gu Zhen was ambitious, but the lord had secretly connived at her ambition to expand it.
It was too magical!
Jiang? Ji said with a gloomy face, "Gu Zhen is Lady Gu Zhen and I am not Liu Xi. This reason is sufficient."
Wei Ci was silent. This reason was indeed sufficient.
Jiang? Ji continued, "Gu Zhen's ambitions are not limited to being the Empress Dowager. I can give her endless glory and wealth, but a person's ambition is limitless. Once the seed of ambition sprouts, even without me adding fuel to the fire, Gu Zhen will reach this step sooner or later. I only treated her a little coldly, letting her have wealth but no real power to show off. After a year or two, she developed this kind of ambition. There was always a ravine between us. She knew that I was not the real Liu Xi, but a wandering ghost who made a deal with her. She kept my secret, and I gave her glory and wealth. In the end, this deal was not solid. Wasn't she worried that I would secretly kill her once I gained power? After all, only the dead can keep their mouths shut, and the living cannot be trusted … "
Wei Ci said, "Lady Gu Zhen was worried about this, so …"
Jiang? Ji said, "So she betrayed me."
Wei Ci's face turned cold.
Jiang? Ji said, "Gu Zhen is very close to the old farts of Lady Liu. I heard that she is especially fond of the children of Lady Liu."
Without further explanation, Wei Ci understood everything.
"If I touch Lady Gu Zhen … I'm afraid it will be hard to explain to Meng Heng and Nie Xun …"
Jiang? Ji smiled contemptuously. "I revert to Jiang? Ji's identity is enough. Not to break away from Lady Liu, but to become an independent clan! "
Once she reverted to her surname, she would slowly deal with these people.
Jiang? Ji had no feelings for Gu Zhen. The two of them were just collaborators from the beginning.
Gu Zhen was the first to have ambitions. Jiang? Ji was just taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, to make her ambitions cross the line, and then find an excuse to kill her.
