I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

When Yuan Suiyun quietly returned from outside the room, he saw Yun Chuxiu sitting in front of the mirror, gritting his teeth and applying medicine on his face. He stood quietly behind Yun Chuxiu for a while, so that when the latter looked up, he found that there was a snow-white figure behind him, and he screamed in fear: "Ghost——"

"It's me." Yuan Suiyun leaned over, pinched his chin and looked at the wound carefully. His handsome face showed obvious anger. Yun Chuxiu patted his chest, raised his hand and held his face and said, "Brother, can you not be so scary? ... Are you angry? Don't be angry, I'm waiting for you to tell me some good news."

Yuan Suiyun ignored his jokes and asked coldly, "Why did she hit you?"

"Oh, I was too emotional and said something too much, which touched her sore spot. She could have beaten me to death, but this was already mercy." Yun Chuxiu comforted her softly. "Okay, I know you like this face very much, I will take good care of it and restore it to its original appearance."

However, Yuan Suiyun did not give up, but continued: "Jewel Yin's mood is unpredictable. Since she wants to kill you, she may really kill you. Next, you can use this as an excuse to claim illness and don't go to see her again."

Yun Chuxiu was almost amused by him: "If I don't go to her place, she might come to find me instead. What if she suddenly comes and finds you? Well, don't say such nonsense. I can still control her emotions now, nothing will happen."

Yuan Suiyun sneered, "If everything went as you expected, you wouldn't have been caught here in the first place." He seemed a little annoyed, which made Yun Chuxiu realize that his actions might not go smoothly. However, this was within his expectations. After thinking about it, he simply hugged Yuan Suiyun's shoulders, pulled him down and kissed him twice.

Yuan Suiyun lowered her long eyelashes and looked down at him, but her breath gradually became smoother. Yun Chuxiu clenched his fist towards him and encouraged him, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Don't be angry."

Then, he saw Yuan Suiyun showing his usual gentle and modest smile: "I am not a gentleman."

Yun Chuxiu: "..."

"But Chu Liuxiang should be here soon." Yuan Suiyun's palm touched his intact face, and then slid to Yun Chuxiu's neck somewhat uncontrollably. He really hated people leaving scars on his body, and he found it very annoying when it wasn't left by him.

"I have left him enough information. As soon as he enters the Shenshui Palace, he will come to find you."

Hearing what he said, Yun Chuxiu suddenly felt a little worried: "No way, it's no problem for me to hide one of you in my room, but it might be a bit difficult to hide another one."

Yuan Suiyun was almost amused by him: "When he comes in, everything will be almost over."

Yun Chuxiu subconsciously asked back: "You don't want to use him to attract the attention of Jellyfish Yin Ji so that we can take the opportunity to escape?"

Yuan Suiyun gave him a meaningful look. Yun Chuxiu shuddered, thinking that he really didn't dare to underestimate his bottom line, but if Chu Liuxiang really came to save them, he certainly couldn't sit idly by and watch him get into trouble.

With this idea in mind, he did not ask Yuan Suiyun about the specific plan, but followed his own steps. The next day, he went to see Jellyfish Yin Ji as if nothing had happened, and told her a story of a coincidence.

"Feng Suzhen, the daughter of Feng Xiaoqing, the prefect of Miaozhou, is both talented and beautiful, attracting many princes and ministers to come to compete in martial arts and seek marriage. Among them is a martial arts knight, Wen Chou Gongzi, who had originally defeated the Marquis's son Dongfang Sheng and the Prime Minister's son Liu Changying, but at Feng Suzhen's pleading, he still lost to her lover Li Zhaoting, and they were together. The eunuch chief Wang Gonggong framed Li Zhaoting and forced him to write a blood oath to break off the engagement, and accidentally killed Feng Suzhen's father. Young Marquis Dongfangsheng asked for the emperor's imperial decree to marry Feng Suzhen three days later."

Knowing that this ordinary beginning was just a prelude, Shuiji Yinji listened without moving her eyebrows, and was only wondering in her heart what unusual developments would happen next. She only heard Yun Chuxiu say, "Being forced to do so, Feng Suzhen could only fake her death and escape. With a deep hatred in her heart, she disguised herself as a man and came to the capital, using the pseudonym Feng Shaomin to take the imperial examination, and won the first place in the imperial examination. The emperor was very pleased, and seeing that she was young and beautiful, he actually issued an imperial decree to appoint her as the consort of his only daughter, Princess Tianxiang!"

"Feng Suzhen had no choice but to marry the princess as ordered. What's more interesting is that on the wedding night, she found out that the princess was also an acquaintance. She turned out to be the smelly young man who had participated in the martial arts competition to find a husband!"

"The princess was free and did not want to get married at first, so Feng Suzhen took the opportunity to reach an agreement with her, and the two of them became a fake couple. At this time, the court was in chaos. Concubine Ju, Eunuch Wang and Dongfang Sheng's father, Dongfang Hou, conspired to usurp the throne, but the emperor was unaware of it and only thought about immortality, so he was controlled by the imperial teacher. Feng Suzhen was smart and made all kinds of plans. She united the prince and loyal ministers in the court, and took advantage of the opposition between Dongfang Hou, Eunuch Wang and others and the imperial teacher. In the end, she successfully annihilated the traitors and allowed the prince to ascend the throne."

At this point, he took a deep breath and suddenly asked solemnly: "What do you think should be the ending of this story?"

Shuiji Yinji was a little hesitant. She knew that according to common sense, since Feng Suzhen had made great contributions, she could naturally restore her female body and ask the former prince, now His Majesty, to grant her a marriage with Li Zhaoting, so that they could become a couple after all the hardships. But thinking about the story before Yun Chuxiu, was this story also a strange affair between two women? Because Cui Jianyun was too ordinary, he created this wise and brave Feng Suzhen? Because Cao Yuhua was too passive, there was Princess Tianxiang, who was of noble status and had great martial arts skills?

Jellyfish Yin Ji understood a little, but in front of Yun Chuxiu, she was not willing to satisfy him, so she just replied indifferently: "Since all the troubles have been solved, she is now a meritorious person, so naturally she will restore her former status, return to her own place, and marry Li Zhaoting."

"You're wrong!" Yun Chuxiu knew what she was thinking, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and deliberately analyzed it with her. "When Feng Shaomin was being treated, Feng Suzhen unexpectedly discovered something."

"what's up?"

"That is - she is stronger than most men in this world, including her former lover Li Zhaoting. If she takes the exam, she can pass the exam and become the top scholar. If she wants to solve the rebellion, she can support the prince to ascend the throne. As long as she wants, it can become a reality. After losing her, Li Zhaoting can only drown his sorrows in alcohol, and speculate all day long whether Feng Shaomin is Feng Suzhen. He never thought about how much risk she took by disguising herself as a man, and for what purpose she did such a thing!"

"If she turns back into Feng Suzhen and marries Li Zhaoting, what can she get? Even if she has a husband who loves her deeply and is considerate to her, that's all. She can't go to court, manage affairs, or make plans and give orders like she does now. She is just a man's wife, a pretty accessory, and no longer Feng Suzhen herself."

"If it were you, would you make this choice?"

"Of course not!" Jellyfish Yin Ji blurted out. Even though she knew Yun Chuxiu asked her this on purpose, she would still answer like this, because she also has her own pride.

Yun Chuxiu said: "So, she made a decision. She asked the emperor to grant Li Zhaoting a marriage, and then announced her identity as a woman to the world, and entered the prime minister's office with this body!"

"Li Zhaoting originally came to her and said that the marriage granted by the emperor could not be refused, but if she was willing, he could marry her as his co-wife. The more Feng Suzhen looked at him, the more ridiculous he felt. She could not help but tell him the truth about the marriage and sent him away. Li Zhaoting originally wanted to question her whether she had changed her mind, but when he saw the guards beside her, he suddenly couldn't say a word."

"He suddenly realized that perhaps ever since he was framed, his fate had been uncontrollably heading in a direction he had never imagined. The funny thing was that he could no longer catch up with his former fiancée."

"As for Princess Tianxiang." Yun Chuxiu thought about it and decided to tell the story as he had planned. "She was wronged in the matter of the female imperial consort. The emperor wanted to compensate her, but she refused. Princess Tianxiang remained unmarried throughout her life. What the court knew was that she had a close relationship with Prime Minister Feng and they lived in the same mansion on weekdays." This was basically a tacit acknowledgement of their relationship.

It was indeed another story of having the courage to resist and thus changing one's fate. Jellyfish Yin Ji felt a little disappointed. She asked herself, if it were her, she would also want to be like Feng Suzhen and would never be controlled by others. However, stories are just stories after all. In reality, how could she take that step?

——But then, she was startled. Asking herself this weakly actually meant that she had already wavered. Could just hearing two stories change her mind? Or had she always been longing for someone to say these words to her, longing for someone to give her a push?

No, how could she think like that?! Jellyfish Yin Ji frowned and tried her best to show a cold expression: "It seems that the wound on your face is not enough for you. What makes you think that you are qualified to judge my affairs!?"

"I'm not qualified, but I still want to say it. Perhaps, it is because of this wound that makes me more certain that you won't kill me." Yun Chuxiu touched his face which was coated with medicine and looked at her strangely.

"Gong Nanyan did have murderous intentions towards me, but you never did. Originally, I wasn't quite sure about your thoughts, but after you hurt me yesterday, the way you looked at me, I could feel that you actually regarded me as your-"

"Shut up!" Jellyfish Yin Ji shouted at him to stop what he was about to say. She was originally calm, indifferent, and arrogant, but now she looked a little old because of her anxiety. "Shut up! If you dare to say another word, I will kill you!"

However, Yun Chuxiu looked at her with a helpless expression. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "She's gone, isn't she? It's because the real owner will never come back, that's why you need me so much."

Hearing this, Shuiji Yinji's originally tense shoulders suddenly trembled heavily... Needless to say, Yun Chuxiu already understood everything. He couldn't help but said softly: "You should have a good rest. I'll go back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
