Chapter 70 Old Things
Su Ci smiled.
"Okay, I like your straightforward nature. I'm going through so much trouble to help you, and I can safely send you out of the palace to reunite with your family, but of course there are conditions."
Ji Yun carefully put the note and silver hairpin into her sleeve.
"I sold myself into the palace to make life better for my family. Regardless of whether I can leave the palace alive or not, I am deeply grateful to the Queen for saving my family. No matter how hard it takes, I will repay the Queen."
"It's not that serious."
Su Ci waved her hand: "I will ensure that you leave the palace alive, but after leaving the palace, I need you to go somewhere and find someone."
“…where and who?”
"The King of Thailand's Palace, the King of Thailand."
“…”
Ji Yun suddenly raised her eyes with a look of surprise.
How could Concubine Shu know that she knew the King of Thailand...
Su Ci smiled: "Why? Don't you want to?"
"…My Lady, why do you want me to go to the Thai King's Palace?"
Ji Yun stared at the radiant and stunning woman with a complicated expression: "What do you want to do to the King of Thailand?"
"Don't get me wrong."
Su Ci shook her head seriously: "Your Majesty doesn't have many brothers. The only ones in the capital are King Tai, King Ning, and King Jing. These three princes are all brothers that Your Majesty values. Why would I go against King Tai for no reason?"
"Then, what's that for?"
"Simple. I need you to tell the King of Thailand that you are Alan, the little palace maid who saved his life. Also, tell the King of Thailand everything your former benefactor, Lady Liu, the King of Thailand's biological mother, said before she died."
“…”
Ji Yun stared blankly at the man with a normal expression: "Why, why does the Queen know all this?"
Because she has a golden finger.
Su Ciwei sighed: "Don't worry about how I know this. After Lady Liu died, you chose to go to Xinku to do hard labor to avoid him, and even had someone tell him that you were dead."
"For all these years, you just wanted to wait until you were old enough to leave the palace, but unexpectedly, you were given the title of Consort because you saved the Queen Mother. So, you had to try your best to stay inconspicuous and rarely appeared in public, just because you were afraid that the King of Thailand would recognize you, right?"
“…”
Ji Yun bit her lip tightly and looked around in panic.
"Since Your Majesty knows what happened back then and doesn't want to deal with the King of Thailand, why do you want me to tell him the truth?"
"Because I want the King of Thailand to know that the person who killed his biological mother was not the Queen Mother, but Concubine Sun Gui."
Su Ci said calmly, "Prince Yu, born to Concubine Sun Gui, is now the King of Yuezhou. He governs an entire state and controls the valiant and skilled Yuezhou Army. He is considered the most powerful prince among your majesty's brothers."
"You've been hiding from the King of Thailand for so many years, and you didn't dare to tell Concubine Liu's dying words. Aren't you worried that the King of Thailand would be targeted by Concubine Sun Gui and Prince Yu?"
Ji Yun was silent for a long time, took a deep breath and then nodded slowly.
"Yes, when I first entered the palace, I knew nothing and made a mistake that nearly got me beaten to death. It was Concubine Liu who saved me, but she herself was having a hard time and couldn't keep me by her side, so I had no choice but to secretly help her son."
"Later, Lady Liu was murdered. Before she died, she told me that the one who murdered her was the then-Noble Concubine Sun. But she begged me to wait until Noble Concubine Sun died before telling the King of Thailand, because she was afraid that the King of Thailand would also be harmed. So I had to help her keep it a secret and stay away from the King of Thailand, thinking that after I left the palace and waited for Noble Concubine Sun to die, I would go to the King of Thailand and tell the truth..."
Su Ci nodded slightly: "Your benefactor entrusted you with a favor, and obeying it is also a way of repaying him. Lady Liu chose to conceal the truth in order to keep her son alive, which is also a loving mother's painstaking effort."
"But you haven't considered the King of Thailand's feelings. He suffered so much since childhood, with only his biological mother and you by his side to protect him. But you all died one after another. How painful must he be? Do you know that he has always believed that it was the Queen Mother who killed you? How will he deal with his brother who values him so highly?"
Ji Yun lowered her head, tears falling to the ground drop by drop.
"Lady Liu and I only hope that he lives well..."
Su Ci sighed, "But he lives in the tangle of hatred and family affection every day. It's more painful than death."
In the original novel, after Xuanchen's rebellion was defeated, he confessed to the heroine before committing suicide to apologize. He had respected and loved his royal brother Xuanyi since childhood, but because the queen mother was the murderer of his mother, he had been living in entanglement for many years. His unrequited love for the heroine turned into hatred, which only ignited the last bit of his rationality.
Isn't this also a poor person who has no choice?
Su Ci did this because she had seen a memorial on Xuan Yi's desk, a memorial accusing the King of Yuezhou of harboring troops and acting independently. Only then did she carefully recall the plot of the original novel.
In the original novel, King Yu had long been a thorn in Xuan Yi's side, so King Tai sought out King Yu to join forces in a rebellion, not knowing that he was the son of his real enemy.
The King of Thailand is the second male lead and the villain, so his IQ is naturally not low. As long as he knows the truth of that year, he will definitely deal with King Yu, and it can also help Xuan Yi a lot.
And the most important thing is that the palace maid Alan, also known as Ji Yun, is the dead white moonlight in the heart of the King of Thailand.
"Ji Yun, you've loved him for many years. Can you bear to watch him continue to suffer in this confusion?"
Su Ci stood up and looked down at the silent man. "I saved your family. This is my condition. I am not a kind person who does not ask for anything in return. In three days, Ji promised to die of a sudden illness. But whether it is a real death or a fake death depends on your choice."
"…My Lady, I agree to your terms."
Ji Yun raised her head and stared at the stunningly beautiful concubine: "Your Majesty, are you doing all this for the person you love?"
"Oh, that's natural."
Su Ci smiled and turned around: "I think that truly caring about each other and reducing the burden on each other is the best interpretation of mutual love. You and the King of Thailand can do it too."
“…”
Ji Yun stood under the tree, watching the sedan chair gradually disappear on the palace road, motionless for a long time.
…
at night.
Xuan Yi sat on the futon, holding the person in his arms, holding a charcoal pencil in his hand, and sketching the vase in front of him bit by bit.
"Sketch is about light and shadow, it's not all about drawing. The strokes are secondary, the main thing is the shadows created."
Su Ci said as she picked up a piece of straw paper, rubbed the charcoal line he had drawn a few times, and then used her fingertips to rub the charcoal ash to outline the lines of the bottle.
"See, isn't it not so stiff now?"
"Well, it does go much smoother. I'll try again."
Xuan Yi was studying seriously when he glanced at the yawning person and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
"A little bit. I always feel sleepy when the weather gets warm."
Su Ci wiped her face and said, "There must be a Mei Yangyang in my belly. She can eat and sleep better than me."
Xuan Yi chuckled as he wiped the charcoal dust off her cheek, then took a towel to wipe her hands.
"How can Ci'er be sure it's a daughter?"
She said her daughter is Mei Yangyang and her son is Xi Yangyang.
"Because of her mother, I am becoming more and more beautiful now. Isn't that what the old people always say? A beautiful girl during pregnancy, a girl with acne all over her face, dark and fat, must be a boy."
Xuan Yi couldn't help laughing, tilting his head slightly to look at her fair and rosy face.
"Well, that should be a little princess as beautiful as her mother, the apple of my eye."
