Thirty years ago, Qi Jin saved her cousin but did not know his identity. She fell in love with him and became pregnant. Only then did she realize that he was Huangfu Jiulan. She had wanted to persuade Jiulan, but he was not willing to go back to Ox Village with her. She could only come to the capital with a big belly and told the public that her husband was dead. After giving birth to Qi Ruoshui, she never mentioned Huangfu Jiulan. Qi Ruoshui always thought that her father was dead.
When Qi Ruoshui was sixteen, she met Huangfu Jiulan. Though he was over thirty years old, Huangfu Jiulan was handsome, elegant, mature, and steady. He immediately attracted Qi Ruoshui's heart. Young girls yearn for love. Moreover, though Huangfu Jiulan loved Qeluan deeply, he could not find the one he loved in his life. It was inevitable that he would indulge in his emotions. Qi Ruoshui was also so beautiful that he could not resist. After a few gazes full of affection, he pushed the boat with the current and held Qi Ruoshui in his arms.
Qi Ruoshui, who had never experienced love between a man and a woman, naturally fell in love wholeheartedly for the first time. She wholeheartedly waited for Qiu Lan to marry her and accidentally found out that the one he loved the most was someone else. Only then did she come to her senses. Her love was strong, but her hatred was also bone-deep. After a few tests, she found out that the person Qiu Lan loved was the Shaman King of Xi Liang Qie Luan. However, Qie Luan's attitude towards him was ambiguous.
In order to force Huangfu Jiulan to leave Qeluan, Qi Ruoshui wanted to get pregnant with his child at all costs. It was also at this time that Qi Jin discovered something was wrong with her. She put her under house arrest and interrogated her. Only then did she learn that Qi Ruoshui had fallen in love with a man and was already pregnant. No matter how angry she was, she could only let the man come to propose.
Huangfu Jiulan loved Qeluan, but when he thought that Qi Ruoshui, a little girl, had risked her life for him, he decided not to return to Western Liang. He sent someone with betrothal gifts to propose. When he and Qi Jin met, both of them were stunned.
He had hoped that Qi Ruoshui was not his daughter, but when he saw Qi Jin's hateful eyes that wanted to swallow him alive, he finally realized what kind of mistake he had made with his flirtatious ways.
When Qi Ruoshui found out that Huangfu Julan was her father, she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She hated Qi Jin for hiding the truth about her father from her. The mother-daughter relationship changed from intimate to incompatible.
Qi Jin forced Qi Ruoshui to abort the child, but Qi Ruoshui refused. She said that she wanted Qi Jin to live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of her life. She wanted Qi Jin to feel heart-wrenching pain for her grandson every day.
After giving birth to Qi Zixi, Qi Ruoshui was taken to Western Liang by Chuan Luan. From then on, she broke off all ties with Qi Jin.
"…" Ye Zhen could not describe the shock in her heart at this time. She had speculated about the various reasons that caused her mother and daughter to turn against each other, but she did not think that it was actually because she felt that what she had experienced was very strange, but she had never heard of such a terrible thing.
Qi Jin knew very well that people would be shocked and despised if she said this, but she also knew that if she didn't say it, the Empress would definitely suspect Qi Ruoshui. At that time, not only would she not be able to help Ah-Chen, but Qi Ruoshui would also be blamed.
"Your Highness, I've already said everything I need to say." Qi Jin's voice seemed to have aged a lot. "I originally wanted to take this matter to the coffin and never mention it again in this life."
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. With Qi Jin's words, many of her doubts about Qi Ruoshui were dispelled.
The person who wanted to take Qi Ruoshui away was Chuan Luan, but Chuan Luan should have done this for Huangfu Jilan.
"Ben Gong will not mention this to anyone," Ye Zhen assured Qi Jin. "You can rest assured that no one will know about this except Ben Gong."
"Many thanks, Your Highness." Qi Jin knelt down and saluted. "Your Highness, Ruoshui can't be a Shaman King. She has been kind-hearted since she was a child. It's just that she was implicated by me."
Ye Zhen felt a little more sympathy for Qi Ruoshui at this time, but she did not think that Qi Ruoshui's life experience could clear all suspicions.
"Medical Officer Qi, Ben Gong will not wrongly accuse her." Ye Zhen said that she would definitely find out all the truth and determine whether Qi Ruoshui was a Shaman King or not.
After Dan Shi left the capital, there was only Qi Ruoshui in this quiet courtyard.
She did not feel lonely at all. Instead, she enjoyed basking in the sun in the courtyard.
"You've been in the capital for several days. Are you still not going to leave?" A strangely dressed man suddenly came out of the corner. Judging from his clothes, he did not look like a person from Jin Kingdom.
This man was called Wu Ming, one of Qi Ruoshui's protectors.
Qi Ruoshui squinted her eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine. "How can I leave when things are not finished?"
"Won't anyone suspect you coming back like this?" Wu Ming asked. The Jin Emperor was so shrewd that he would definitely suspect Qi Ruoshui's identity. He was afraid that they would not be able to leave this place in the future.
"I never intended to hide." Ever since Qi Ruoshui found her single consciousness, she had been planning for every step she took. Lu Yaoyao's suspicion that she was the Witch King was part of her plan. If she hadn't deliberately exposed herself, Lu Yaoyao wouldn't even know who she was.
Wu Ming glanced at her. "You are playing with fire. From various investigations, Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao are not simple people. Ye Yaoyao was almost tortured into a cripple by them."
Qi Ruoshui raised her eyebrows. "Where is Ye Yaoyao?"
"In the suburbs. Her face has been ruined. She wants to ask you to treat her." Wu Ming said.
"Let her go back to Xiliang with us. She is doing this for me." Qi Ruoshui said softly. "Lu Yaoyao will definitely send someone to watch her and tell her not to come to me. Lu Yaoyao has not taken the bait yet."
Wu Ming did not understand what his master was thinking. "You said that only Lu Yaoyao can make Huangfu Chen change his mind. But what is the point of what we are doing now?"
Qi Ruoshui smiled faintly. "If I am not wrong, Lu Yaoyao should know my identity by now. Let's see what she will do next."
"Lu Lingzhi is already on his way. Mister Li Jing is in the military camp. We cannot lose the war with Jin Kingdom." Wu Ming said.
"Let him wait. We can leave when Lu Yaoyao leaves the palace." Qi Ruoshui said. Since there was no time, they should leave early. He originally wanted to tease the little girl who thought she was smart.
"If she doesn't leave the palace, we will have to wait forever." Wu Ming asked. He was worried that there would be trouble if they continued to wait.
Qi Ruoshui shook her head gently. "If she doesn't leave the palace, then we will lure her out."
"How do we lure her out?" Wu Ming frowned and asked.
"Then we will borrow my mother." Qi Ruoshui smiled. Didn't they say that Lu Yaoyao was skilled in medicine? Then let her see.
She did not want to come to the capital. Unfortunately, Huangfu Chen had no weakness. She could only start with his beloved disciple.
Wu Ming asked in a low voice, "What about the young master?"
Qi Ruoshui said, "I still need to borrow him. You can take him away when the time comes."
"Yes, Witch King."
