Chapter 194: When I seize the imperial power and pacify the world
"What's the reason? Could it be that Yan Xingchuan threatened you?"
"Not really." Jiang Cinian shook his head. "Although I sometimes dislike him, he really didn't threaten me. This time he came to take you away for your own good."
Cui Si frowned and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"He took me away and ruined our marriage, or was it for my own good?"
This really doesn't make sense.
Jiang Ci Nian thought for a moment, then took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the stone table. He said with some difficulty, "This contains two fake death pills. Master prepared them for you and me."
Jiang Cinian did not mention this matter in front of Yan Xingchuan, but he did not intend to hide it in front of Cui Si.
She is qualified to know about right and wrong, cause and effect, and herself.
"Faking death? You and me?" Cui Si's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately remembered why Baili Boqin had always disagreed with their marriage.
But what exactly happened that required them to fake their own deaths to avoid disaster?
Cui Si felt uneasy.
"Is it because of the grudge between your fathers?"
"Yes." Jiang Ci Nian nodded, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, "This is my father."
Cui Si reached out to take it, opened it and saw a portrait on it. The portrait was lifelike and looked about 70% similar to Jiang Cinian.
At first glance, you can tell that the two are related by blood.
There was indeed nothing wrong with the portrait, but the words on the side made Cui Si's pupils shrink slightly.
"Ji Fusang?"
She had lived in this world for decades, and liked to read stories and travelogues when she had nothing to do. She also had some memories of this 'crown prince who died young'.
Frankly speaking, if this person had not died, the world of the Great Zhou would definitely not be like this.
Just...just...
"Is this Ji Fusang the Ji Fusang I was thinking of?"
Jiang Ci Nianhui is his son?
How is this possible!
Could it be that he had a child outside? Or was one of his pregnant wives or concubines saved?
Jiang Ci Nian lowered his head to look at the portrait, then reached out to take it, his fingers lightly stroking the paper: "It's him."
"I should be the child who was told to have died in infancy."
Cui Si looked at him, her mind went blank, and her face was full of disbelief.
"How is this possible..."
When Ji Fusang died, he was only twenty years old, still very young. He had only one child, his eldest son born to Crown Princess Jiang, but that child died just a few months after birth.
Jiang Cinian turned out to be that child, the son of Ji Fusang and Jiang.
Jiang Cinian looked at the portrait quietly, his expression calm. "That day, the King of Northern Yan took you away. I was going to chase him, but Master sent someone to find me and told me to go back and tell me the whole truth."
"So I went back, and my master told me everything and told me not to chase after him."
"Honestly speaking, the moment I learned about this, my mind went blank and I was completely stunned."
It is ironic and ridiculous that he is actually a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
His father was murdered, and he never enjoyed the wealth and power of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, he had to bear the sins of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But he was still grateful to his parents.
No matter what, they brought him into this world, gave him life, and when they encountered difficulties, they did their best to send him away, allowing him to stay away from that devouring vortex and grow up safely.
However, his marriage with Cui Si could never be continued.
"It's probably fate." Jiang Cinian actually smiled.
"Fate?" Cui Si came back to her senses, her mind a little blank. "Why don't you learn from your uncle? He's a Taoist and never accepts fate. What he believes most is to defy fate and change it. My fate is in my own hands."
Jiang Ci Nian smiled and said, "If I want to defy fate and be with Sixth Lady, then I should return to the royal family of Great Zhou to recognize my ancestral roots. Once I seize the imperial power and pacify the world, everything will be possible."
Only then, when he rules the world, can he marry her peacefully without fear of any consequences.
"It's a pity that I'm a laid-back person by nature. I only like to live a quiet and peaceful life. Opening a clinic, growing medicinal herbs, drinking tea and playing the flute in my spare time are what I look forward to in this life."
"I don't want to go down that path in life, and I can only apologize to Sixth Lady."
He had no intention of fighting for power, not to mention that the Cui family was now in the Northern Yan camp. If he returned to the Great Zhou, he would be standing opposite the Cui family. In the battle between the two camps, life and death would be unpredictable. If someone in the Cui family died, he would not be able to be with her either.
Moreover, the Great Zhou had done too many evil things and its luck had run out. Even if he wanted to revive this crumbling empire, he might not succeed. He might even die in these fights and even implicate her.
If the road is blocked, there is no way out even if you want to change your fate.
Cui Si fell silent, her slender fingers pressing the hem of her sleeves from time to time. After a long pause, she said, "You haven't done anything wrong to me. It's me who has implicated you. I shouldn't have dragged you into these storms."
In his previous life, Jiang Cinian must have hidden himself very well, and no one knew his identity. He lived a quiet and peaceful life in Xianyang City.
In this life, because of his connection with her, many things happened and were eventually discovered.
Jiang Cinian smiled and said, "It seems that there is no point in us taking on the responsibility like this."
"Actually, I feel that being able to spend these days with Sixth Lady is already very good. Moreover, everything is my own choice. I follow my heart, and no matter what the outcome, I have no regrets."
Even though his background was discovered later because of his involvement with Cui Si, he never regretted it. He just felt sorry that they could only go this far and could not go any further.
Cui Si thought for a moment and said, "Then you don't have to feel sorry for me. As you said, this is your choice, and it's also my choice. No matter what the result is, it's my karma."
"Okay." Jiang Ci Nian nodded in agreement, then asked her, "Is the old lady feeling better? Are you feeling better? I heard you were a little afraid of the cold, so I made some medicine. If you take it well, I'll have someone send you some later."
"Grandma is feeling much better." With Jiang Cinian's help, Old Lady Xu's health has improved a lot. As for her...
"I took the medicine you sent me the day before yesterday. I felt much warmer after taking it. I didn't feel so cold anymore, and I slept much more soundly."
"If it's useful, I'll send some over later."
"Then wait until your situation is more stable. You have to take care of yourself. Remember, your own stable life is the most important thing."
