NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 25
In the silent palace, Ji Ying'er couldn't help but talk about her past.
Ji Ying'er was born to Emperor Wu of Daxia and Empress Jiang, but unlike normal marriages between warriors, Jiang did not practice martial arts, but was an ordinary person.
This can be said to be a big problem.
The biggest reason why most warriors in this world seek to marry people who are also warriors is naturally the hope to give birth to gifted children, but there is another reason.
That is, if the next generation is too talented, it is difficult for ordinary mothers to give them enough qi, which will cause the baby to be congenitally maldeveloped. This is the case with Emperor Wu of Daxia and Empress Jiang.
Normally, with the royal background, Queen Jiang should have no problem giving birth to a child.
But Ji Ying'er is a Xuantian body, with a talent far beyond that of ordinary people, and naturally requires a lot of qi.
Even the resources controlled by the royal family of Daxia cannot replenish so much qi for Queen Jiang, an ordinary person.
The final result is that Ji Ying'er was weak and sickly and maldeveloped after he was born.
"I weighed less than three pounds when I was born. I have been frail and sick since I was a child."
"My mother was overstretched as a result of giving birth to me, which caused the root cause of her illness. She eventually died of illness when I was eight years old."
"Since then, I have been tabooed by the people in the palace. The palace maids privately call me the white-haired ghost and regard me as the unlucky son who killed my mother."
Quietly recounting the past, Ji Ying'er sighed self-deprecatingly.
"At that time, my father was busy pacifying the Southern Territory and had no time to be distracted. Coupled with his disgust for me, after my mother died, the number of times he returned to the palace became less and less."
"I am alone every day. Faced with this situation, I just feel extremely hopeless."
"And it was at that time that I met Brother Chu Li."
Speaking of this, Ji Ying'er couldn't help but choked up, as if remembering the past that she couldn't bear to look back on.
She raised her head, took a deep breath, and said slowly again:
"It was early one morning when the head of the Chu family came to meet his father and brought brother Chu Li."
"Brother Chu Li has been handsome and cute since he was a child, completely different from me! I was so mesmerized that I forgot to hide it, so Brother Chu Li saw me"
"I was extremely scared at that time, but brother Chu Li is different from others"
"oh? different?
Lin Ying asked, Ji Ying'er nodded slowly after hearing the words.
"Well, he didn't have any prejudice against my appearance. On the contrary, he took me around"
"At that time, I was frail and sick, and my brother Chu Li was also frail and sick. My mother had just passed away at that time, and my brother Chu Li lost his mother when he was young."
"We are so similar, it's like we were destined to meet each other"
"We talked a lot that day until the sun went down, and we became friends from then on."
Recalling the most beautiful memory deep in her heart, Ji Ying'er's expression became gentle.
That tenderness and sweetness paired with her beautiful face made Lin Ying, a woman standing by, dumbfounded.
But Ji Ying'er's The telling doesn't stop
"Since then, brother Chu Li has come to the palace often. At that time, his father wanted to win over the Chu family, so he was happy to see the success."
"We went to the imperial study room to read together, went fishing in the back garden together, practiced martial arts together, and recuperated together. He also taught me how to have luck."
"You all say that I am talented, but in fact I am stupid. The real genius is brother Chu Li."
"I couldn't feel Qi at all at that time, but he taught me step by step, and I learned to absorb the Qi of heaven and earth bit by bit to replenish myself."
"That was my happiest period, which lasted for two years"
"My ugly appearance has finally gotten better, but just like God is jealous of Brother Chu Li, his illness has gotten worse."
"Originally, I was thinking of helping Brother Chu Li, but unexpectedly, an accident happened later......."
At this point, Ji Ying'er's body suddenly trembled slightly. Lin Ying looked at the girl's back, and saw a few tears falling to the ground.
Your Highness actually cried! ?
Looking at those tears, Lin Ying was surprised.
Over the past few years, Lin Ying has been with Ji Ying'er, and it can be said that he has seen all kinds of situations.
Whether it was being confined here for several years, or being affected by the formation and feeling pain in the bone, or the pain of practicing, Ji Ying'er had never shed a tear.
Now just talking about the past, she burst into tears?
What happened to make Your Highness so sad?
Curious Lin Ying became more and more eager, and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask
"Your Highness, what accident do you mean?"
"......I can't say, you just need to know one thing, that is, because of this accident, brother Chu Li lost his memory about me."
"memory! ?"
Lin Ying was surprised when he heard this. Changing other people's memories is not something ordinary people can do.
"So, what about after that?"
Lin Ying continued to ask questions, and Ji Ying'er heard the words and said hoarsely:
"after? You almost know everything about what happens after that."
"Not long after that accident, my Xuantian body was discovered by my father, and he asked your Divine Machine Sect to come out and protect me."
"For several years after that, I couldn't leave here."
"Brother Chu Li never came back because he lost his memory about me."
"The two of us were originally inseparable, but since then we have become far apart."
At this point, Ji Ying'er choked up again. She wiped her eyes and continued:
"I originally thought that the awakening of Xuantian's body would end soon, but I didn't expect it to take so long!"
"In desperation, I learned the art of puppetry and hid my identity to observe secretly, hoping to get acquainted with brother Chu Li again."
"Everything was going according to plan, but I didn't expect that the Chu family would dare to do such a thing!"
The moment the words fell, a huge pressure accompanied by a raging rage suddenly erupted!
Lin Ying only felt that his breathing suddenly choked, the air in his body almost stagnated, his eyes were blurred, and in a trance he seemed to see a fire phoenix spewing out breath to burn the world.
The originally gentle Ji Ying'er almost became a different person in this moment. She was terribly murderous and obviously angry to the extreme.
And Lin Ying also understood it very well.
Over the past few years, watching Chu Li's situation all the way, Ji Ying'er and Lin Ying can be said to be the people who understand his situation best.
Before Chu Li encountered all kinds of unfair treatment in the Chu family, Ji Ying'er was already furious, and even Lin Ying, an outsider, couldn't stand it.
An adopted son is actually loved by the whole family, but the sick and weak biological son is suppressed every day.
What kind of magical plot is this?
But what the two never expected was what happened afterwards
"The Chu family is so shameless! He even dared to snatch brother Chu Li’s martial arts bones!"
"I must get this debt back for brother Chu Li! but before that......"
Turning to look at Lin Ying behind her, Ji Yinger made a request.
"Lin Ying, can you please help me take care of brother Chu Li temporarily? Just these few days will be fine"
"Ten days later, I will immediately activate a new puppet to find Brother Chu Li, and I will never cause you any trouble!"
Looking at Ji Ying'er who said this, Lin Ying fell into silence.
She took a deep breath and thought silently.
I have to say that the story of the two of them shocked Lin Ying a lot.
Who would have thought that being praised as Princess Daxia, the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, had such a story?
From a personal point of view, Lin Ying actually wanted to help her, but as the person in charge of the Shenji Sect, she had to stand on the side of the sect. Think about the problem from a different perspective and put the interests of the sect first.
So the question is, is Chu Li worth enough?
