"have."
Wei Pingxi said, "Your eyes betrayed you."
"My eyes?"
"You trust me, you are grateful to me. Your mouth may not speak, but your eyes are the windows to your soul."
"You remain calm in the face of a frivolous person who is only after your body."
“I recognized you at the other courtyard. In my past life, I had a meal for you. You regarded me as your benefactor and a good person, which is why you remembered this kindness and treated me so kindly.”
"Yes or no?"
Yu Zhi never imagined that she was full of flaws in her eyes, and that even her little bit of gratitude was analyzed so meticulously.
The fourth young lady is not only skilled in bed, but also more alert and terrifying off the bed than in bed.
Since she could tell where she came from, did she also realize that she had feelings for her?
She was unusually terrified, and her face turned pale.
Seeing that she remained silent, Wei Pingxi said softly, "You can tell me now."
Yu Zhi hugged her back, her body slightly cold.
"What, if I die, will no one be sad for me?"
She gave an awkward smile, placing one hand on the beautiful woman's shoulder, her smile faltering: "You really don't have any? Not a single one?"
"Many people refused to accept the tragic news of your passing, and they came from all directions, weeping loudly."
"The beautiful concubine in the villa, the one with the beautiful legs, died for you."
"The eldest son of the Song family in Lingnan jumped into the river that day, saying he wanted to go with you."
"And then there's the Holy Maiden of the Northern Region, who prostrated herself before your coffin, her face covered in blood, and was saved by a secret technique. The leading elder said you were a scourge, that you took advantage of their Holy Maiden's body and then abandoned her, dying without a word, and still causing trouble even in death..."
The fourth young lady had mixed feelings. She wanted to know the reaction of the Wei family and the royal family after her death, but Zhizhi kept bringing up the debts of affection she owed them.
"And the female teachers of Yunluo Academy have written hundreds of poems in your honor, saying that without you, Wei Pingxi, the women of the world would be less beautiful and charming."
She saw the world in black and white, and willingly followed that splash of color.
"After speaking, his throat became hoarse, and he kowtowed to his death in front of your tombstone."
"..."
Yu Zhi took a breath and said again, "You have three thousand emotional debts, I can't finish talking about them all at once..."
Get to the point!
She choked on her words, thinking to herself that the Fourth Miss was heartless.
"Besides your romantic entanglements, a few other major events have occurred."
She recalled carefully: "I remember... on the thirteenth day after your burial, it should be the thirteenth day, the whole country posted notices to find famous doctors to treat the Empress."
"Aunt? What happened to Aunt?"
"It is said that he was depressed and his heart was injured."
Wei Pingxi's face was heavy: "My aunt always doted on me. I'm sure she couldn't bear the blow of my sudden death."
She sighed: "And then?"
"After that, His Majesty invited Senior Yao Chenzi to the palace, and then news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill..."
"What about the Wei family? How did my mother react?"
"The Wei family members went to the capital to obey the imperial decree."
“That day I took a look from afar in front of the Marquis’s mansion. Madam Wei was dressed in a monk’s robe and looked very thin. Marquis Wei also looked unwell. He was helping the old man into the carriage and almost made him fall.”
Yu Zhi sighed, "I don't know what happened after that..."
How did you die?
The fourth young lady stroked her chin as she looked at her.
"He encountered some hooligans and thugs, and to preserve his innocence, he drowned himself in the river."
Wei Pingxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "And now? Are those people still alive? Do you know what they look like and what their names are?"
Yu Zhi couldn't forget the people who killed her in her past life, and she began to name them one by one. Then she heard the Fourth Miss say menacingly, "I can't avenge my death, but yours is simple enough, isn't it? Jade!"
Jade responded from outside the door.
After explaining to her in detail where the thugs lived, their names, and their physical characteristics, Wei Pingxi sneered, "Kill all of them!"
She glared at Yu Zhi: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
She seemed furious if those thugs lived even one more day.
The task was handed over, and another carrier pigeon flew away from the capital into the distance.
The fourth young lady lay on the bed, feeling sullen. Yu Zhi tried to soothe her and calm her down: "It's not that I don't hate, it's just that no one is there to support me. But now that you're here to avenge me, I'm very happy."
"You're happy now," she murmured. "Which bastard is trying to harm me?"
Yu Zhi whispered, "And you, how did you get there?"
"He was poisoned to death; his death was horribly tragic..."
She briefly described how terrible it was, then looked up to see a pale, tearful face.
"How...how could it be so terrible?"
This is much more painful than her drowning.
Yu Zhi loved her, so naturally she couldn't bear to see her suffer or endure pain. She hated the person who poisoned her with a passion.
Tears streamed down her face, her eyes red and moist. Wei Pingxi regretted describing it to her and put his arm around her, saying, "Don't cry, haven't we made a fortune this time?"
Without this experience of dying and coming back to life, she would truly have been a wronged ghost.
Completely confused, I don't even know who my enemy is.
He died a miserable and pathetic death.
Yu Zhi held her and cried softly.
Wei Pingxi hadn't recovered from his wrongful death in his previous life. In a fit of rage, he pressed down on the other person and kissed him deeply.
All her cries were swallowed by her throat.
The world was finally at peace.
...
The Empress stopped in front of the gate of Jiaoyue Palace.
The maidservant guarding the palace gate bowed respectfully: "Your Highness, His Highness is still sleeping, you..."
"Still sleeping? Have you eaten yet?"
"Haven't eaten yet."
"Wake her up, and I will eat with her."
When the Empress gave the order, the palace maids dared not disobey and reluctantly went to wake the sleeping princess.
Ji Qingyao sat on the bed and asked, "Is the injury on my face any better?"
"Much better."
"You could possibly tell?"
The personal maid cautiously said, "It would be best to wait another day."
"One more day? The Empress Dowager is already in the palace!"
She was extremely annoyed: "Find a makeup artist to do my makeup properly, I absolutely cannot let the Empress Dowager notice anything amiss."
If the noble princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, the only daughter of the emperor and empress, were to have a slap mark on her face and a visible scar on her forehead in her own palace, it would likely cause a great disturbance.
Yan Xiu waited patiently at the Bright Moon Palace; there were very few people nowadays who were worthy of her waiting.
"Your Majesty, the princess has arrived."
Ji Qingyao walked gracefully towards them, her face charming: "Mother, what brings you here?"
"Come see you, why are you sleeping so late? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's alright, it's just that I've felt weak these past few days and haven't had the energy to do anything." Princess Jiaorong sat down next to the Empress: "Mother, I heard that Father Emperor has issued an edict ordering the Marquis of Yiyang's family to move to the capital?"
Yan Xiu held the porcelain spoon in her sleeves and said, "You're quite well-informed. Your aunt brought her daughter to the capital. The Marquis and his wife have a very deep affection for each other. How can a family be separated? It's more lively when they're together."
"If they come, it will be quite lively."
She continued, "The Marquis of Yiyang's mansion is a complete mess. The events of the past few days have spread throughout the capital. The eldest son deceived his wife into marriage, kept a mistress, and neglected his wife. No wonder Madam Sun wanted to have an affair with the second son..."
"It's not appropriate to discuss matters concerning relatives." The Empress served food to her daughter. "The dead are gone; we shouldn't dwell on their affairs. As for the matter of the second branch of the Wei family, how can you, an unmarried girl, gossip about others?"
"I can't chew on this tongue root, but Wei Pingxi can?"
She was again accusing her mother of favoritism.
Yan Xiu chuckled and put down her porcelain spoon: "She's my nephew, you're my daughter, how can you compare them?"
"Is it because a daughter can't compare to a nephew?"
"Closeness and distance should not be confused. As a mother, she always hopes that her child is better than others."
Ji Qingyao was taken aback: "Mother is right."
She clung to the Empress's arm and said, "Mother, I want to go back to the Grand Tutor's residence. I miss my maternal grandfather and grandmother."
"Okay, I'll go with you another day."
After finishing breakfast, before leaving, the Empress stroked her daughter's face: "I love Xi Xi dearly, and you've always been resentful of it. But there's really no point in comparing. Yao'er, you must know that no mother doesn't love her own flesh and blood."
"Your Majesty, I understand your heart."
"It's good that you know."
Your son respectfully sees off Your Majesty.
After the person left, her face darkened, and she asked those around her, "Have the gifts been prepared?"
