Big Moon Ballad

"She went to seek death. How could she tell you?"

Officer Yao's words echoed in Li Ji's ears, shaking him out of his mind.

Li Ji's head was dizzy, and countless scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

"Sister, have you seen my headband?"

"No, did it fall somewhere?"

"Sister, this is my bride price, will you marry me?"

"This is a token!"

"My mother only left me this relic, and I will only have one wife in my life."

"lifetime……"

"Do you know how long a lifetime is?"

"In five years, in ten years, will you still think this way?"

"I can!"

The little boy's voice was extremely confident, "I can't guarantee the future. But if I break my oath, sister, just kill me with a sword, okay?"

What did she say?

Yes, she said he was stupid.

Li Ji stood in the depths of time, staring at the two figures, one tall and one short.

The woman touched the little boy's head and said, "What are you talking about? You idiot."

The young Li Ji didn't understand the way Li Zhao looked at him. Only then did Li Ji finally understand.

That's right, fool.

He is a fool, a big fool.

The greatest fool in the world.

He felt sorry for himself and thought that he had gotten nothing, but she had clearly given him the most precious thing long ago.

He was so stupid that he didn't realize that there was something wrong with his memory, and he almost made a big mistake by treating his lover as his enemy.

"My name is Li Zhao."

"I have been married before and have a son."

"I did something wrong, and I live here alone so that I don't do it again."

A woman who lives alone in the cloud forest because of a mistake she made has no signs of ever being married, but she wears filial piety and stubbornly observes her husband's filial piety.

He possesses profound medical skills and swordsmanship, and his cultivation level is unfathomable.

Who else could such a person be except Lin Baoyue, the young master who was famous all over the world?

No wonder, no wonder.

All the traces of his suspicions in the past were now answered.

The relationship between Ying Baoyue and Ying Hanri and Ying Xun, and the tears she shed under the Forest of the Dead and the Great Wall of Evernight all have their reasons.

Li Ji thought of the past events he had investigated about Shao Siming and the emperor's eldest son Ying Su, and felt severe pain in his head.

"Jun Zhaohua?"

Official Yao watched the change in Li Ji's expression and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

After expressing her thoughts in one breath, Ms. Yao calmed down and suddenly became panicked. What was she talking nonsense about just now? She obviously doesn't know anything, but she dares to make irresponsible remarks about the relationship between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Zhaohua based on only clues?

"Jun Zhaohua, I just made random speculations. Please don't take it to heart..."

Li Ji came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I want to thank you."

Father, like son.

Miss Yao's words hit home, like a morning bell and thunder, waking him up.

However, what puzzled Li Ji was that Officer Yao had a keen insight into Lin Baoyue's thoughts eight years ago with just a few words, but she seemed not to have discovered the true identity of the master she was serving now.

"You just said that you were waiting to return this headband to its owner," Li Ji asked tentatively, "Then why haven't you returned it to her? She is obviously by your side."

"what?"

The person who was stunned was now Ms. Yao. “So you really didn’t notice it?”

Li Ji smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he should wake her up or wait for the female officer to realize it herself.

It's normal that Official Yao didn't notice it. After all, ordinary people wouldn't believe in such a thing as taking someone's body.

"Your Highness the Princess...she is back?"

Official Yao looked at Li Ji in disbelief, racking her brains to recall her previous experiences, and was about to burst into tears, "Is it because I'm not a practitioner, so I can't see her?"

Seeing the other party's sincerity, Li Ji felt sorry, "It's not that you can't see her. Have you ever thought that she might come back with a different look?"

"Change your appearance?" Ms. Yao said blankly, "How can a person become anything else?"

"You can firmly believe that a dead person will come back, but you don't believe that a person can change his body?" Li Ji smiled bitterly, "But I didn't believe it before, until I met her."

"Ms. Yao," Li Ji looked into the woman's eyes, "a person's appearance can change, but her soul will not change."

"Think about it again, have you really never seen her again?"

Official Yao's eyes widened and she stared blankly at Li Ji.

She thought of the girl who rushed to her when she was beaten by other palace maids, and of the girl who, even though she was of low status, still led her to escape from the sea of ​​fire.

That girl did not have the same cultivation and status as in her previous life, but as long as she stayed by her side, she was no longer afraid.

"She...she is..."

"Your Highness, she has always been..."

Ms. Yao's vision was blurred by tears.

Looking at the tearful woman, Li Ji was also deeply touched.

"Yes, it's her," he said softly, "The person you protect has always been her."

"No," Ms. Yao's tears fell one after another, "She doesn't remember, but she still found me."

Official Yao still remembers the first time she met Ying Baoyue in Afang Palace. She was beaten by other palace maids for protecting the purse at her waist. When Ying Baoyue rescued her, she saw the purse but didn't say anything.

This is also the reason why Ms. Yao has never doubted Ying Baoyue's identity.

After Princess Baoyue was found by Da Sima outside and returned to the palace, Princess Baoyue's temperament changed drastically and she became very different from before. Official Yao didn't find it strange, but because of the agreement between her and Shao Siming, she felt that if Ying Baoyue was really Shao Siming, even if he didn't recognize her as a person, he should be able to recognize the thing given to her.

Li Ji didn't expect that Female Officer Yao would be aware of Ying Baoyue's amnesia. "Could it be that Baoyue doesn't know that your purse is..."

"This is the first time I have opened it in eight years," Ms. Yao looked at the hair tie in her palm through tears, "Her Highness the Princess never knew I had this thing."

"I will become Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal maid because when I was bullied in the palace, Her Royal Highness the Princess passed by and rescued me."

It turns out, that's just it.

Li Ji stared blankly at the maid in front of him who was in tears.

It turns out that this is really the case.

Not fate, not coincidence.

It turns out that a person's kindness can really travel through time.

It was the kind thoughts in that girl's heart that allowed her to meet the person entrusted to her in the previous life again in this life.

Ying Baoyue probably doesn't know it yet.

"Jun Zhaohua, what should I do with this headband?"

Ms. Yao had cried enough and stood up holding her hair tie, feeling a little embarrassed. Now that it has been confirmed that the owner of this headband is Li Ji, should she return this headband to Li Ji?

"It's better for you to keep it," Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "Since she gave it to you, then the next time you see her, it's up to you to return it to her with your own hands."

After that, it was between her and him.

"With my own hands..." Ms. Yao said in a daze, "But when can I see His Highness again?"

"Don't worry, she will be back soon."

Li Ji looked up at the sky dyed red by fire and spoke softly.

"She is now a heaven-level practitioner."
