Chapter 203: No Matter What, We Meet in the Underworld
Qi Yunshen lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yunzheng: "Murong Che is the one pretending to be Shi Chaoqing."
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
Qi An pointed his sword at the black-clothed man's neck and said, "Tell the truth!"
The man in black was reluctant to speak, but after seeing his two brothers being killed, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Back then, the Xixia royal family was in turmoil, and our master's maternal family, the Wu family, was framed. To save her life, she had no choice but to flee to Daliang and hide in the forests near Lushan Academy. Our spies stumbled upon a man in the academy whose figure and outline bore a striking resemblance to her, and we sought to kill him and replace him."
Having said that, Jiang Yunzheng couldn't help but slap the man.
The man in black sneered, "But the master didn't want to kill innocent people. Later, the scholar died of an accidental illness. Our master then took his place in the academy and became Shi Chaoqing."
"Later, our Majesty became seriously ill. He missed the master so much that he faked his own death and left Daliang."
Jiang Yunzheng suspected that he was from Xixia, but never thought about the Xixia royal family.
Now that the Xixia emperor has been killed, Murong Che has ascended the throne and is still coveting Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng said calmly: "Since you have chosen his grand plan, why bother coming again?"
The real Jiang Yunzheng had already died in the backyard of the Shi Mansion. She didn't know whether the original owner had noticed anything unusual about the two Shi Chaoqings before her death.
How is Shi Chaoqing's hindsight different from that of the Xu family?
Jiang Yunzheng: "Where is the real Shi Chaoqing buried?"
"Lingxiao Mountain is near where the man pretended to die and fell off the cliff."
Jiang Yunzheng: "Who is in the coffin?"
"Just a dead refugee."
When 'Shi Chaoqing' fell off a cliff, he was not found until three days later. His face and body had been eaten beyond recognition by wild beasts. Shi Tian and Song Wanyun were so sad at the time that they naturally had no energy to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
At this point, we know everything we need to know.
Jiang Yunzheng felt sad. What would have happened to the original owner if she had not married into the Shi family?
Qi Yunshen held Jiang Yunzheng's cold palm and told Qi An: "Clean it up."
"yes."
The master who was repairing the grave had fainted from fright and was carried down the mountain by Qi An.
A group of people came and left in a mighty procession.
After fulfilling her wish, Jiang Yunzheng felt sleepy on the way back. She curled up in the carriage, covered with a thick coat, and her body seemed too small.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Yu was not guarding there this time. A guard in black was standing at the door.
Qi An glanced at the person at the door, then nodded to Qi Yunshen as he lifted the curtain.
Qi Yunshen lowered his eyes, carried Jiang Yunzheng out of the carriage, and walked into the yard.
Xie Qing and Xie Xuan were about to go out when they saw the backs of Qi Yunshen and the other person flash by.
Xie Xuan muttered, "Jiang... Is Second Sister's illness really that serious? What is it?"
Xie Qing pursed his lips and glanced at her.
Xie Xuan stuck out his tongue.
In fact, Xie Xuan still didn't want Jiang Yunzheng to die like this. If Jiang Yunzheng died, she would be the only one to inherit the Xie family.
If it weren't for her father, she... wouldn't have much interest in that position.
Xie Xuan shook his head without thinking, and pulled Xie Qing out: "Brother, Zui Xiang Ju's roast chicken is limited to 100 tonight. If we don't go now, we will miss it!"
At night, it snowed in Hangzhou.
After Jiang Yunzheng returned to the yard, she had a simple meal and then slept until the beginning of the night.
The room was warm and a lamp was burning beside the bed, but Qi Yunshen was nowhere to be seen, and there was only a faint residual warmth beside the bed.
The room was covered with a thick velvet carpet, and Jiang Yunzheng stepped on it barefoot. She looked around the room and found no one there.
A maid's voice came from the yard: "Madam, do you have any instructions?"
Since the first day at the Qi Mansion, everyone in the mansion has called Jiang Yunzheng "Madam".
Jiang Yunzheng stood still: "Where is the prince?"
"The prince just had something to do and went out temporarily."
Jiang Yunzheng frowned. What was going on that made him go out so late?
She crawled back into bed.
Just then, familiar footsteps were heard in the yard.
The maid called out, "Master, you're back."
Qi Yunshen nodded, and the footsteps were getting closer.
He pushed open the door, walked in very carefully, took off his clothes in front of the rack, and lay down beside Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng suddenly opened her eyes, turned sideways, and asked, "Where have you been?"
Qi Yunshen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did I wake you up?"
Jiang Yunzheng didn't say anything, just looked at Qi Yunshen.
Qi Yunshen touched her hand first: "Are you cold?"
Jiang Yunzheng shook her head.
Qi Yunshen looked at her for a long time.
Jiang Yunzheng frowned and sat up, looking as if she would not sleep tonight unless Qi Yunshen said so.
Qi Yunshen pulled the person back into the bed and tucked the four corners of the quilt tightly.
Qi Yunshen sighed helplessly, "Let's go see him tomorrow morning."
Jiang Yunzheng would know it sooner or later anyway, and Qi Yunshen had no intention of hiding it from her.
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't help but pinch Qi Yunshen's waist and said, "You're so mysterious. I want to hear it now."
Qi Yunshen hugged the person in his arms.
"It's your original body."
"Taoist Luo wants to go to Xie Family Island and return your soul to your original body."
When the words reached Jiang Yunzheng's ears, her whole body stiffened and her eyelashes trembled. After a while, she turned around and looked at Qi Yunshen.
She opened her lips slightly: "What did you say?"
Qi Yunshen tightened his shoulders and arms, as if he wanted to crush the person.
He briefly talked about the silk of Leizu in Shu.
"They are all made according to the methods in ancient books. They are quite realistic. You can go and see them tomorrow."
Qi Yunshen said it lightly, but for the puppet to turn into a human... who knows what else needs to be paid?
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes were red. She sat up from Qi Yunshen's arms and began to take off his clothes.
Qi Yunshen had a smile in his eyes and spread out his hands, letting Jiang Yunzheng move around.
"These are all old wounds left over from the battlefield."
Jiang Yunzheng didn't believe it, so she unbuttoned his shirt to check it, and then asked Qi Yunshen to take off his pants.
Qi Yunshen's eyes grew darker, and he gently stroked Jiang Yunzheng's forehead.
"No need for that next."
Jiang Yunzheng's eyes were wet, filled with tears that were about to fall.
Qi Yunshen: "My legs are fine."
Jiang Yunzheng didn't believe it and insisted that he take it off.
Qi Yunshen had no choice but to agree to her request.
After checking his body and finding no suspicious injuries, Jiang Yunzheng frowned and asked, "Then how did you do it?"
Qi Yunshen told what happened at Baiyun Temple that night.
"Master Pingyang used celestial phenomena to reshape your body. It was on that night that your soul took so long to return to its original form that I was able to confirm your identity."
Jiang Yunzheng's tears fell down.
Qi Yunshen pressed her into his chest and stroked her vest bit by bit.
…
"Go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow."
Four years passed, and when Jiang Yunzheng saw that identical face again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
The body was placed in an ice coffin and placed in the ice cellar of the Qi Mansion.
Jiang Yunzheng looked at the woman inside. It was her face that looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
She slowly stretched out her hand, her fingertips stopping an inch away from her face.
All the memories of my past life flashed through my mind quickly.
Qi Yunshen stood beside her.
Jiang Yunzheng's fingers trembled. She withdrew her hand and looked at the person next to her.
"What if I don't come back in this lifetime?"
Qi Yunshen held her hand and said, "Wait patiently until the day I die."
If he doesn't come back one day, he will wait one day.
If he doesn't come back in ten years, he will wait for ten years.
If all else fails, we'll meet in the underworld.
