People are really strange.
When life and death are no longer a concern and times are peaceful, they fight among themselves for fame and fortune.
When faced with life and death, they can stand together.
At this time, the formula of interests can no longer provide an answer.
She looked at the devastated land and saw new life and endless cycles within it.
The world is not that good, but it also doesn't seem that bad.
Ji Yunxi became a volunteer, learned first aid methods, and helped deal with some external injuries.
There were aftershocks everywhere and she was rescued.
In the end, she also saved a person and died under the collapsed building.
Then, she opened her eyes and appeared in her mother's warm womb, becoming Ji Yunxi in this life.
She became much softer than in her previous life.
She was also very lucky. In this life, she had a pair of very good parents and very good brothers.
She began to feel some compassion and no longer stood idly by like she did in her previous life. She reached out and helped some people.
Baofu is, Tanghu is, Fangyuan is...
Her life was still the same, with three meals a day, as if no different from her previous life, yet it was completely different.
Even if I stay at home, life seems to be quite interesting.
She no longer had the same thoughts as in her previous life.
That's why Ji Yunxi told Wu Weian that night when they arrived in Qinghe County.
It's not about saving them, it's about saving yourself.
But did she really do the right thing?
If she had not reached out to Baofu at the beginning, would Baofu have had a different ending?
Wu Weian just listened quietly.
In his opinion, if it weren't for Ji Yunxi, there would be no Baofu.
If she is really selfish, the first person in her heart will only be herself.
Just like him, he used to be himself.
Wu Weian didn't care much about the safety of his father who was far away in Shangjing City.
You are no longer a child. No matter who you are, you must be able to protect yourself.
After all, who can protect whom for a lifetime?
But Wu Weian never said anything to comfort her.
For people like them, other people's advice is useless, they can only figure it out on their own.
And she will definitely figure it out.
All he had to do was listen.
Ji Yunxi rubbed her temples, suppressed her chaotic thoughts, and said to him, "Have you forgotten what I said to you that night?"
Wu Wei'an: "The one about saving yourself?"
Ji Yunxi: "Yeah."
Wu Weian slightly bent his left leg, and lightly placed his right leg on top of it, swaying it from time to time: "I've always had a good memory. You can't tell me to forget it and I'll forget it."
Ji Yunxi: “…”
Wu Wei'an: "And I think I've figured it out."
Ji Yunxi moved her slightly numb legs and curled her lips: "Maybe this is a wrong thing to say. How can I figure it out?"
Wu Wei'an glanced at her and said, "Think about what you meant that night."
Ji Yunxi paused.
That night, she never doubted whether this statement was right or wrong.
Wu Weian was silent for a moment.
He thought of the old woman that day.
The peaceful face before death was always clear in his mind.
He was not too moved in his heart. Looking at the tragic scene under the raging flood, Wu Weian did not have many feelings in his heart.
But the moment he extended his hand to the people, he could no longer take it back.
Even though he still didn't feel much in his heart, even though he couldn't empathize with these people, he couldn't turn back.
It seemed that his hands had already had some ideas, and he would not be able to play some chess games in the future.
Just like the emperor's move of taking advantage of the flood this time, Wu Weian admired it very much.
Go with the flow and use the force to your advantage.
In the past, he could play this chess, he could play it...
But from now on, he can't and won't.
Wu Wei'an: "Before you said this to me that night, there was one thing I couldn't figure out."
Ji Yunxi looked at him: "What?"
Wu Wei'an curled his lips and said, "Do you know where my golden toad poison comes from?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head.
She had never asked this question, but it should be related to the emperor.
Everything Wu Weian planned over the years seemed to be for revenge against the emperor.
She did not forget that this golden toad poison was the unique secret recipe of Concubine Zhen, the mother of the fifth prince.
Wu Weian paused for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I brought it with me from my mother's womb."
Ji Yunxi was slightly surprised.
"The Palace Master of Xuanbing Palace was very close to His Majesty and Concubine Zhen for a while, but a conflict of interest led to a dispute, and not long after, she was poisoned by the Golden Toad Gu. Old Qin was good friends with the Poison Lady's master and the Palace Master. They tried various methods to detoxify the Palace Master, and finally Old Qin came up with a method of transferring the Golden Toad Gu through the fetus."
Wu Weian's tone was light, and the toes of his right leg, which was lifted over his left leg, swayed slightly, as if he was telling Ji Yunxi about someone else's affairs.
"The Palace Master of Xuanbing Palace was no ordinary woman, and she agreed immediately. She specifically chose a plain-looking man and successfully became pregnant with him. He wasn't as good-looking as she liked, and she wouldn't be reluctant to give up the child. But before cutting the umbilical cord on the day of the birth, she changed her mind."
The three guardians of Old Qin all said that his temperament was very similar to that of the Palace Master, naturally cold and unemotional.
That's the case.
Wu Weian shrugged lightly: "I have never understood why she would change her mind."
He was not the son of the man she loved.
He was just a tool for her to detoxify.
Why are you reluctant?
Why are you reluctant?
But now, Wu Weian understood.
Just like his outstretched hand, once it is extended, it is difficult to retract it.
After she gave birth to the child and heard that cry, it would be difficult to end the child's life.
Human nature cannot be tempted.
