Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The old lady choked and complained helplessly, "You girl is really getting more and more unruly. You dare to say such things! If Shangguan Lao'er is stubborn and hears it, I'm afraid I won't punish you by kneeling in the ancestral hall!"

Ji Wuyan laughed and said, "His old man wouldn't dare to lock me up in the ancestral hall... If I were locked up in the ancestral hall, if I disrespected those ancestors inside, wouldn't I have to drag him along with me to sue him in the ancestral hall?" What's the crime?" Even though he was joking like this, his smile still looked a little preoccupied, and his face, which was as big as a palm, always felt too pale and lacking in color.

As the old lady looked at him like this, she felt more and more that the child had become so thin recently that it was heartbreaking. She stood up and scooped another bowl of soup for Ji Wuyan, and after handing it to her hand, she said, "If you want to get rid of the poison of the past life, you can only get rid of it before it enters the heart and lungs... When it enters the heart and lungs, it will Zi Gu was lured out, and what was rescued was nothing more than a walking corpse... In less than a month, his body was broken and his bones were gone, and the oil was exhausted and the lamp withered. So... this is not a method of exchanging one life for another, but a life-changing method. The way to take another life away, the Rebirth Gu is the most sinister and poisonous technique... If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have had to do that back then..."

Ji Wuyan just shook his head, "It's useless to dwell on the past. Even if someone told you at that time that your compassion would lead to the following series of things, you probably wouldn't be able to kill them all. Don’t worry too much, I’m just preparing for the worst now, maybe the situation won’t be so bad by then…”

Mrs. Ji lowered her eyes and looked at her intertwined fingertips. The skin of her old hands was inevitably loose and wrinkled. But, when did it start? The skin loosened and wrinkled bit by bit, as if it was covered in a shell that would fall off at any time. Sometimes when I stare at myself in the mirror, I feel dazed for a while - if this shell fades away, will there still be a young version of myself inside?

Then he laughed to himself, how could there be such a good thing in this world? Can you go back and make amends for the paths you traveled recklessly, the mistakes you made, and the regrets you left behind when you were young?

Later, the child in front of me gradually grew up. She had a similar profile and even a similar temperament to her when she was young. She was brave and willful, with a certain fearlessness unique to young people. The old lady felt that this was rebirth in another sense. He grew up with her, took good care of her as much as possible, and reminded and assisted her with the experience of others, which was also compensation in another sense.

But who would have thought that all those mistakes and regrets left behind would eventually fall on this child.

It's like some kind of retribution, making people sigh and blame themselves.

The intertwined fingertips clenched suddenly, and Mrs. Ji was about to speak, but Ji Wuyan suddenly stood up with understanding, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and smiled helplessly as if he didn't care, "Even if it really comes to the end, Even if it's bad, it's not completely impossible to do anything about it. When the time comes, I'll go to Mr. Chen to say good things, coax him to bring the pill he made, and send it to the palace to get a reward. It's better than just leaving it there and wasting it. good."

Mrs. Ji knew about that pill. When Xiao Ning set out for Yanjing, Chen Song had already given the pill to the little girl. However, the pill was of great significance to Chen Song. Xiao Ning would never use it unless absolutely necessary. it.

The old lady was still worried and uneasy, and sighed, "The pill is only said to cure all diseases, but it is not known whether it is useful for witchcraft... If it is useless, it is really wasted."

"How could it be?" Ji Wuyan had an extraordinarily playful smile, but he was smiling at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were sharp, with the dark pupils behind the light, looking sarcastic and cruel, "Since it is the most sinister and poisonous art, I think the emperor has no time left. Not much, it's really at its worst, and I don't expect to be able to really cure him... The whole imperial hospital is afraid of admitting his condition, why should we rush to pick up this job... It's just procrastination, for a while The rumored medicine that can cure all diseases can probably be delayed until that time, right?"

After saying that, he pursed his lips, raised his lips and smiled, and asked, "Do you think so?"

The choice at the critical moment is actually really simple.

It's just about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. The old lady seemed to be finally infected by her calmness and willfulness. Her frowning brows relaxed and her clenched fingertips relaxed. She smiled and nodded, "Yes... you are always more decisive than me when it comes to big things."

"That's right." Ji Wuyan chuckled and patted the old lady on the shoulder playfully, "So, you can live here peacefully, eat well, drink well, sleep well, and be taken care of well. Put all the bad things aside. I am here and my brother is here, so what do you have to worry about? It’s just a matter of putting some effort and effort."

"Seeing you trying so hard but I can't help makes me feel so weird..."

His heart skipped a beat, Ji Wuyan kept his expression, and said with a half-joking, half-serious smile, "If I don't bother with anything, I won't be able to take what you gave me, and now you." I'm there to help you, but that's not available at that time... Could it be that you're looking down at me and worrying about me, so you don't have to worry about it?"

The old lady choked... This girl is really speaking more and more without any taboos. It's a credit to herself that she doesn't believe in these ghosts and gods, otherwise she wouldn't be able to vent her anger?

Although he was so slanderous in his heart, the atmosphere was completely broken by this somewhat inappropriate gag. The old lady laughed angrily, waved her hands, and started to chase people away, "If you are not here to get a meal, then why are you still here to make people uncomfortable? Go away, go away, and go do what you want to do!"

Ji Wuyan was exceptionally obedient, "Okay! You have a good rest, I'll take my leave first!" After that, he smiled and waved his hand, looking like he was generous.

"Hey!" the old lady called out hurriedly, but when the other party saw it, she swallowed the words on her lips and just waved her hand, "Go, remember to come over for soup tomorrow, don't let you, Aunt Wang, Waiting for nothing.”

"Okay!" She responded with a smile.

It's just... When she turned around, the smile on her face faded away. She looked up at the cloudy sky. After a long while, she clasped her hands behind her back and sighed softly... There is no cure-all medicine for all diseases. It's a critical moment. The choice is only to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but the emotions beyond reason make her never able to do nothing to save the people around her.

There is no cure for the poison, and no cure. All expectations are like soap bubbles in the afternoon, beautiful, gorgeous, and then shattered.

She was left alone, standing in the vast wilderness, not knowing where to go... After a long time, she closed her eyes and sighed, that's all, now she really can only take one step and see one step!
