Hui'an couldn't save his heart.
She felt regret and guilt towards him, but the most important thing was her attachment to the past.
Ji Liyou felt very strange. If Hui'an and Yongtu Shangda had known each other for a long time, why would they have reached this point.
The marriage between the Southern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Hu Dynasty was also a grand event recorded in history books. King Donghu left one of his sons as a hostage in the Southern Wei Dynasty, Yongtu Shangda. Yongtu Shangda's mother was the concubine of King Donghu, with a distinguished status. Donghu later defeated Southern Wei repeatedly, and the request for an armistice was to general Yongtu Shangda returned to Donghu.
The King of Southern Wei at that time agreed. For the sake of a hundred years of peace in the Southern Wei Dynasty, the King of Southern Wei even sent his own princess Hui'an to Donghu for marriage.
When Ji Liyou was a child, he read this history book and felt that Yongtu Shangda was lucky. An enemy hostage was treated with delicious food and drinks in the Southern Wei Dynasty. Before leaving, he married the family's legitimate princess and married Hui'an of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Princess.
Ji Liyou recalled in his mind whether he had forgotten any details.
What is recorded in official history is not necessarily the truth.
Why is there no record of the princess getting married in the history books? Ji Liyou found it very strange that such a major event as the princess's marriage should be remembered clearly from the etiquette to the dowry, but there are only a few strokes in the history books. Princess Hui'an's writing is far less than that of Princess Yong'an who later married. Princess Yong'an's identity is still unknown. Before the marriage, she was just a princess, and it was because of the marriage that she was given the title of princess.
Later, when Princess Hui'an passed away, the Southern Wei Dynasty did not take any action, not even a mourning edict.
Yongtu Shangda in the tent solved Ji Liyou's doubts.
From his questioning of Princess Hui'an, Ji Liyou finally understood why the couple had reached this point.
The princess of Southern Wei and Prince Donghu were a perfect match, but just as the marriage was about to end.
The welcoming team arrived outside Liangzhou to meet the sending off team.
Several brothers of Yongtu Shangda even came to greet the distinguished Princess Hui'an.
A group of people suddenly killed out of the troops led by Princess Hui'an.
This is a great day for getting married, but it is also the beginning of another chaotic war between Donghu and Southern Wei.
After he dispersed his brothers, he married her back.
There were corpses everywhere, and he wanted to kill her with a sword and use her blood to pay tribute to his dead blood relatives, as well as the sisters he invited to pick her up.
They always wrote to him. Even if the letters were checked at all levels and were in tatters when handed to him, his family never forgot him. They said that on the day he came back, they would drink and celebrate for three days and three days. night.
He brought the noble and beautiful Princess Hui'an back to his hometown in fine clothes, originally wanting to run into the arms of his family.
He didn't even know how the Southern Wei people brought so many killers into Liangzhou City.
They massacred the people in Liangzhou, the imperial city of Donghu, and the bustling street where the wedding procession was suspended suddenly turned into a hell on earth.
The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty slaughtered women and children without distinction. On festive days, the imperial guards gathered around His Majesty and arranged a banquet in the palace.
They are all waiting for Princess Hui'an to enter the Donghu Palace.
Even the elder brother who had been at odds with Yongtu Shangda since childhood asked someone to give him a gemstone bracelet, saying it was a lucky thing, and gave it to his wife and his beloved.
His brother didn't come, which was the happiest thing in Yongtu Shangda's life.
The red wedding dress was stained with the blood of his family. He fought with the Southern Wei people with a knife, but was knocked unconscious by the princess's men. When he woke up, the long street was full of bloody corpses.
He asked her, "Why don't you kill me too?"
She didn't explain anything, she just kept apologizing to him.
Yongtu Shangda even suspected that her condition for marrying him was to agree to the King of Southern Wei's promise to hide a killer in the procession.
That day was the day Yongtu Shangda was closest to his mother. Before he said a word to his mother, he watched his mother die in front of him.
There was nothing he could do.
It was he who stripped off the armor of his family and allowed Dong Hu to open his arms without any defense and be massacred by the despicable Southern Wei people.
From Ji Liyou's point of view, Hui'an didn't know about this, but the hatred of family and country was already looming in front of them, and the two of them could not go back to the past no matter what.
The fault may have been with the King of Southern Wei, or with his ambition, but he did not pay any price for this kind of mistake. Hui'an repaid everything for him.
Later, Yongtu Shangda not only served as the king of Donghu for one year, but then left the grassland of Shiwei and became Moheduo of Shiwei.
Guard the grassland for the rest of your life.
There was no more love in his eyes when he saw her. Which man would forgive his wife's tribe for killing his own brothers and sisters
Hui'an thought for a while, but after all, he didn't tell him about the child's existence.
It was a mercy on his part to allow her to live.
The following year, Yongtu Shangda raised troops from Wei and declared a war against the Southern Wei.
Before leaving, Hui'an received a letter of departure.
He didn't want her, nor the child in her belly.
News of Yongtu Shangda's death came.
Hui'an drank the poisoned wine, and the child she had devoted her life to giving birth to was gone with her.
Unexpectedly, Yongtu Shangda was not killed in the battle, but was seriously injured.
When Yongtu Shangda heard the news of her death, he first smiled, and then asked casually, "She is really dead?"
After listening to the servant's words, he turned around and didn't speak for a long time.
Ji Liyou sighed, and the beads in his hand gradually turned into ashes.
It is the memory of Tumo and Princess Hui'an. The two have been entwined for half a lifetime, but in the end they resented each other. Instead of becoming a good couple, they became bitter lovers.
Ji Liyou came to the door of Cong's house.
I was worried about how to give this dagger to Miss Cong when I heard someone behind me asking.
"Who is waiting outside Cong's house?"
Ji Liyou recognized her appearance. Although it was not exactly the same as Princess Hui'an, she was still somewhat similar.
"Is it Miss Cong?" he asked.
"Who are you?"
Ji Liyou rolled his eyes, handed the dagger to him with both hands and said, "This is something a friend entrusted to me."
Cong Jing'er took a look and said, "Isn't this Mr. Meng's dagger?"
Ji Liyou was surprised for a moment. What happened? Did she actually know the owner of the dagger
"Exactly." Ji Liyou said.
"Has Meng Jue returned to Liangzhu now?"
How could Ji Liyou know who Meng Jue was? Even if he guessed that it was the Meng family, he had not returned to Liangzhu for many years and did not know Meng Jue.
It should be the junior of the Meng family.
Xie Li stepped forward and said, "I heard that Mr. Meng is currently on business in Li'er and has not returned to Liangzhu. If the girl is relieved, I can give the letter to me for delivery."
Xie Li dispelled Cong Jing'er's suspicion as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ji Liyou almost had his lie exposed, so he pushed Xie Li to speak. He naturally knew the Meng family very well.
In the Liangzhu family, the Ji family is the first, and the Meng family is the second, and no one dares to deny it.
"I'll take the dagger. If you see Meng Jue, say something for me and I'll promise him."
"Promise him?" Ji Liyou said to himself.
After getting on the carriage, Ji Liyou asked Jie Li outside the carriage, "Who is Meng Jue?"
"The Meng family."
Ji Liyou rolled his eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Yes, sir, Meng Jue is a descendant of Meng Xingjian's branch, and can be regarded as the great-grandson of Duke Meng Guo."
"Meng Xingjian? Who is he?"
"He is the brother of Queen Mingxian."
"Queen Mingxian?" He couldn't remember who Queen Mingxian was for a moment, but he only felt that she sounded familiar.
"Queen Mingxian is You Zong's first wife."
"Do you think I don't study enough?"
"My subordinate did not lie to you."
"You Zong's first wife is clearly Queen Minhui, who in the world doesn't know?"
"Sir, Queen Mingxian... died in just two years, and Queen Minhui is her successor."
"I don't know about such a big thing?" Ji Li was depressed.
"Everyone knows about Liangzhu, but I don't know why you don't know about it."
Ji Liyou also wondered why his father never mentioned this matter. Even Queen Minhui knew about it, but he didn't know about Queen Mingxian.
"Why did Queen Mingxian die?"
"My subordinates don't know the truth of these palace secrets. They just heard..."
"What did you hear?"
"I don't know whether I should speak or not."
"You're already halfway through what you're saying. What should you say?"
"Yes. My subordinates heard that Queen Mingxian was poisoned by Queen Minhui. However, there is no evidence for this matter. It is just a rumor that the people who caused the disaster were all killed by You Zong. Later, the people of Liangzhu stopped talking about this matter. The Meng family was demoted for a period of time and returned to Liangzhu many years later. It is said that it was also because Meng Xingjian knew the cause of Queen Mingxian's death and forced the palace to question the late emperor."
"Meng Xingjian forced the palace? This... what does the Meng family have to do with Queen Mingxian?"
"Young master, don't you know?"
"I've never even heard of Queen Mingxian, I know nothing."
"Queen Mingxian is Meng Xingjian's sister."
"Is that why the Meng family forced the palace?"
"I heard from storytellers on the roadside that it was indeed the case, but the truth has long been unknown. How many years have passed."
"Meng Xingjian? Meng Guogong?" Ji Liyou muttered the name. He knew some things about the Meng family, but his father did not tell him in detail because his father said that unless the Liangzhu family gave an order to let them go back, They will stay in Boru for the rest of their lives.
Even if you return to Liangzhu, you are not allowed to stay in Liangzhu for a long time. You only need to visit the elders of the host family.
Seeing the young master's interest, Xie Li added, "It's a coincidence that Meng Xingjian was a classmate of the head of the family back then."
"Master? Could it be my grandfather?"
"It is the young master's grandfather."
"He is my grandfather's classmate?"
"Yes, Meng Xingjian once studied under the Taixue School, and the head of the family once studied under the Guozixue School, so he can be considered a classmate."
"Xie Li, I didn't expect you to be useful. In the past few years, I have been inquiring about information in Liangzhu."
"Young Master is joking. These things are not secrets. It was Young Master who asked me to check on the head of the family, so I checked on the Meng family."
"I didn't expect my grandfather and Meng Xingjian to have such a relationship."
"What my subordinates said just now about whether to kill with poison or not is all rumors among the people in Liangzhu and cannot be true."
"I know, I know, just tell me, I'll hear it with my left ear and hear it with my right ear, that's all. Do you think Empress Mingxian is You Zong's first wife?"
"yes."
"But isn't it Queen Minhui who entered the imperial mausoleum with You Zong?"
"Yes, so my subordinates also heard a speculation that You Zong wanted to push Queen Minhui to the lower position, so he took advantage of the time when Queen Mingxian was giving birth to kill her."
Ji Liyou's brows twitched, "Are Liangzhu's palace secrets so fierce?"
"Um...it's just nonsense talked by people in Liangzhu after dinner. After all these years, who still knows the truth?"
Ji Liyou nodded, "That's true."
"The year that Queen Minhui took over Fengyin happened to be the year that the head of the family left the imperial city."
"In that year did my grandfather go to Bolu?"
"Yes, once the head of the family left, he never came back."
Ji Li's heart suddenly shook. Among the two voices he heard, one of them spoke about the future.
The woman named Shi Wei complained that no one had ever asked her whether she wanted to be the mother of the country.
He thought for a moment and said, "Xie Li, do you know Shi Wei?"
"who?"
"Shi Wei."
Xie Li shook his head, "I've never heard of it."
Ji Liyou remembered that Shi Wei once wore the clothes of Liuxue.
She also knew Ji Fuwei, which meant that Shi Wei was probably a student who enrolled in the same year as Ji Fuwei.
When he comes to Liangzhu, he always has to figure out something that has puzzled him to this day.
"The Sixth School has moved away from Liangzhu now, right?" he asked Xie Li.
"Guozixue and Taixue are still outside Liangzhu City, and the rest are in Li'er, Donghu, Bolu, Beiqiu and other places."
"Where are the four schools?"
"The four schools... seem to be in Li'er territory."
"Be specific."
"Panhua in Li'er."
"Then let's pass by Li'er this time and take a trip to Panhua."
"Then we have to take a detour."
Ji Liyou asked him, "Are you in a hurry to return to Liangzhu?"
"Go back to the young master, don't be in a hurry, we still have a lot of time, the old lady said when she came, the young master should hurry up and don't tire yourself out from running around too much."
"Okay, let's go to Panhua."
Ji Liyou got off the carriage and stretched his arms on Li'er Street, "My bones are almost falling apart."
Xie Li threw the sword in his hand to his subordinate and gave him a gentle push, "I'll go buy a softer backrest later to prevent the young master from hurting his waist."
Ji Liyou waved his hand, "No, no, no, I'm not that squeamish."
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a very familiar person in the crowd.
He stared at the man buying calligraphy and paintings for a moment. Jie Li followed Mr. Ji's gaze and said, "This person is Meng Jue."
"What? He is Meng Jue!" Ji Liyou's mind gradually became clearer.
The medical practices around Meng Jue and Princess Hui'an were so similar.
If Princess Hui'an was reincarnated as Cong Jing'er, then practicing medicine might be Meng Jue. During Princess Hui'an's lifetime, only practicing medicine cared about her the most.
Meng Jue's dagger arrived at Cong Jing'er's place, and Cong Jing'er promised Meng Jue.
Maybe God opened his eyes and let Meng Jue be involved with the princess in his life. He worked too hard to protect the princess in the past, and Princess Hui'an didn't know it at all.
Ji Liyou thought again, in this case, Tumo is Yongtu Shangda, and the Yongtu Shangda he saw in the beads was exactly Tumo's face.
These three people.
"Master, would you like to go over and say hello to Master Meng?"
Ji Liyou shook his head, "I gave the girl something, which can be regarded as helping him. Haven't the Meng family and the Ji family always been on bad terms? I became good friends with him, and the Ji family will inevitably feel uncomfortable."
"It's my subordinate who talks too much."
"It's okay, let's go."
When I arrived at Panhua before dark, the four schools were closed. Even if they were not closed, Ji Liyou was not a member of the sixth school, and he did not have a letter of invitation or recommendation. It would be difficult to get in. However, Ji Liyou was no ordinary person.
He asked Jie Li behind him, "How is your Qinggong?"
"not bad."
Ji Liyou looked at the plaques of the four schools and said, "Let's go have a meal first."
"Yes, sir."
