Chapter 483 Moving the Whole Family
Not long after, news of Yu Zhiyi's death came from the border.
Shortly after, the emperor died suddenly, and the carefree prince ascended the throne.
The Yu family was originally slated for elimination, but the border gates were suddenly violently breached, and the enemy's iron hooves swept northwards, invincible.
The once mighty Great Sheng Empire, which had been strong for hundreds of years, was severely weakened by previous internal strife and was unable to resist. More than half of its civil and military officials were killed or wounded, and the emperor and prime minister were taken prisoner.
Their Yu family was among the first to be sent to their deaths when the Baili Empire's iron hooves marched north.
In her dream, Zheng clearly saw herself die under the long swords of the soldiers of the Baili Empire.
She suddenly woke up.
There was no one around.
Ever since she started hauling manure, Yu Chunyue stopped sleeping with her because she always had a foul stench about her.
She really wanted to talk to someone, but there was no one to talk to.
At that moment, she felt lost and dejected.
"really……"
The sudden sigh startled Zheng Shi. She looked up with amusement and saw Yu Zhiyi standing by the bedside at some point.
She looked down at her, her clear eyes staring at her blankly, devoid of joy or sorrow, as if she were a complete stranger, a lifeless object with whom she had no connection.
"You... what are you doing here?"
Zheng swallowed subconsciously and suddenly wanted to call for help.
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "Don't waste your energy. Even if you shout until you're hoarse, they won't hear you."
What did you do?
"That's not important." Yu Zhiyi had no interest in answering her question: "There's something that has puzzled me for a long time, and today I finally found the answer from you."
Suddenly, Zheng thought of her dream.
She could vaguely guess what Yu Zhiyi was talking about, but she didn't want to admit it, nor did she dare to.
"Wh...what?"
Yu Zhiyi seemed oblivious to her little tricks; she didn't care and didn't even want to confront her.
Just like she said, she's just here to find an answer.
In her three lifetimes, her experiences after the age of ten were different in each one.
In her first life, Yu Jiaojiao's arrival didn't have much of an impact on her. She even chose to withdraw voluntarily for the sake of An Zhen's daughter and the Yu family's feelings.
But the Yu family's hearts were all with her, and no matter how hard Yu Jiaojiao tried, she couldn't change their minds.
It wasn't until Yu Jiaojiao died that the family seemed to suddenly see her good qualities and began to distance themselves from her again because of Yu Jiaojiao.
In that lifetime, there was neither You Bingyue nor Zhang Tianshun.
To be precise, they existed, but they were not involved in her life.
In the second life, Du Ziheng had You Bingyue as his mistress, and Yu Jiaojiao married Du Ziheng, who should have been her brother-in-law. However, she couldn't defeat You Bingyue and ended up in a miserable situation.
This is the third incarnation.
Yu Zhiyi had always wondered why she and Yu Jiaojiao were able to be reborn at the same time.
Now the answer has been found.
In her second life, Zheng obtained the black stone and wished that if she could have another chance, she would give Yu Jiaojiao all her love and make her the happiest and most respected woman in the world.
The current emperor is nearly forty years old. Although marrying him as empress would be a highly prestigious position, it would obviously bring little happiness to a woman.
Therefore, Zhang Tianshun, who was of similar age and later became a king of a different surname, became the best candidate.
In the third life, Zheng, the one who made the wish, forgot everything from her previous life, while Yu Jiaojiao was reborn with her memories intact.
Therefore, she set her sights on Zhang Tianshun, Yu Zhiyi's husband from her previous life, intending to seize the opportunity and secure her position as a princess.
At that time, Zhang Tianshun was clearly a notorious playboy.
Parents from ordinary, respectable families would absolutely not agree to this marriage.
Under the influence of the dark stone, Zheng, though finding it absurd, still agreed to her daughter's ridiculous suggestion.
Now, only one question remains.
Looking at her experiences across these three lifetimes, the one in which she and Du Ziheng enjoyed a happy and fulfilling life was the first lifetime.
The life in which Yu Jiaojiao married Du Ziheng was her second life.
This is the third incarnation.
If the start of a new life is because someone tampered with things in the previous life.
The Third Incarnation was initiated because Zheng's maternal instincts led her to accept the black-robed man's proposal and gifts.
So what are the conditions for the second life to begin? And who initiates it?
The changes in the second incarnation are considerable compared to the first.
First, You Bingyue appeared.
Secondly, the person she married changed.
Zheng obviously couldn't answer this question.
"Go back to sleep."
As Yu Zhiyi finished speaking, Zheng Shi drifted off to sleep again.
After their home was ransacked, the Yu family lost all their gold, silver, and money. Their estate and shops were also confiscated. Now, the whole family is crammed into a poor area on the outskirts of the city. The couple occupies one room, while the three brothers share another. They live a miserable life.
This was originally.
After Zheng went to fetch manure, Yu Chunyue went to squeeze in with his sons.
Yu Zhiyi had no intention of helping them out; their fate was their own doing and had nothing to do with her.
With the last few things taken care of, the family prepared to set off for the secluded realm early the next morning.
Outside the Peach Garden.
Yu Mingquan looked sorrowful, his eyes filled with reluctance: "Yi'er, take care."
Today's parting may be their last.
Yu Zhiyi nodded slightly in silence.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This house is yours now that I've given it to you. If you ever need money, you can sell it."
Yu Mingquan pursed his lips: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You must take good care of yourself too."
Yu Zhiyi went through everything she had left him in her mind and found nothing missing.
He will not sell Peach Garden, nor will he allow the Yu family to move in.
There was nothing missing: things for self-defense, things for attacking, and things that could be used to send her messages in times of crisis.
"We're leaving."
Yu Mingquan raised his hand and waved his arm.
The family boarded their flying sword and sped towards the hidden realm before dawn.
Someone glanced up and saw a large sword flying in the sky, their eyes widening in disbelief: "Look! A flying arrow!"
However, when his companion looked up, the place was empty, with nothing but dim clouds and a dark blue sky.
"I think you're still half asleep. How could you possibly have a flying sword?"
"It really is! I really saw it!"
The speaker cried out that he was innocent and made repeated promises, trying to convince his companions.
However, seeing is believing.
Faced with his companions' doubts and ridicule, the man could only mutter and curse, "I didn't lie!"
Shortly after Yu Zhiyi left, two special guests arrived outside Peach Garden.
At that moment, Yu Mingquan was watching the flying sword disappear into the distance with a sorrowful expression.
Even though the flying sword had disappeared into the clouds and he could no longer see anything, he still couldn't bear to look away.
Until a guest arrived.
"Prime Minister Du? Madam Du?" Yu Mingquan was only surprised for a moment before smiling helplessly: "You're too late. Yi'er has already left Shengjing."
Madam Du staggered: "Heavens above! What should we do?"
