When I returned to Jun's Mansion, I was called to Tingzhuxuan to see Jun Qidao.
Jun Qidao stood in front of Jun Shuxing's bed, his brows furrowed. Jun Shuxing was still lying unconscious on the bed, Xie Dongfang was also beside him.
"Where have you been these two days?"
Jun Qidao turned his back to me, full of anger.
Sure enough, his first concern was not my safety, and I sneered in my heart.
"Just go out for a walk."
"Just walking?" Jun Qidao turned around, but Han Shuang's eyes almost burst into fire at this moment, "Your brother is lying here, his life and death are unknown, do you still have the time to go out for a walk? If not—"
"If it wasn't for me." I took his words, looked at the unconscious Jun Shuxing and said slowly, "My brother wouldn't be like this."
"Father, it's me who you'd rather lie on the bed." I turned to Jun Qi and smiled sadly.
Jun Qidao was stunned for a moment, and looked at me with a complicated expression.
"From tomorrow, I will be Jun Shuxing."
Throwing down this sentence, I turned around and left without looking back, I was so tired.
Lying on the soft couch of Xiuyun Xiaozhu, I closed my eyes and rested. Perhaps, this was my last night as Jun Shujing.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and I knew it was Xie Dongfang.
He stood beside me for a long time, hesitantly did not speak, sighed slightly but was about to leave.
"Thank you!" I slowly opened my eyes and stopped him.
"Jing'er! You—" He turned around abruptly, staring at me, as if to see through my soul.
I nodded lightly as an answer. With his medical skills, he should have seen my abnormality.
"Who is it?" Xie Dongfang's clenched phalanx turned pale.
I could hear the uncontrollable trembling in his voice as he tried to keep it even.
"Don't ask." I looked at him calmly, "I want to handle this matter myself."
"You yourself? Pretending to be your brother?" Xie Dongfang became furious.
I am silent, maybe this is not the best choice, but I don't want to be a weak woman with no self-protection ability, my world should be in a wider world, and the identity of Jun Shuxing is my best cover.
What happened in the past few days has made me deeply frustrated. Although I am proud of being a woman, what is the harm in turning back in the face of reality? And Jun Shujing and Mo Xichen are getting married soon, even if Mo Xichen seems to be a good man, I can't entrust my life to a stranger who has no emotional foundation. Of course, the biggest reason that prompted me to make this decision was my entanglement with Beichen Shaoyuan. Dealing with him made me exhausted. Without Jun Shujing, I would not have to interact with him anymore.
It's just that I can't tell Xie Dongfang about this.
"Thank you, you should understand, I'm not joking." I sighed helplessly.
"Do you think you can get revenge by pretending to be your brother?"
"I didn't say I wanted revenge." Revenge? Although I hate Beichen Shaoyuan so much, I still want to live for two more years, how could I go to that "evil king" to find my own way!
"What?" Xie Dongfang was stunned this time, "but... but..."
"Don't be." I patted Xie Dongfang on the shoulder and said open-mindedly, "Okay! I know you care about me, but I can think about it, it's no big deal, don't worry about me doing stupid things!"
Xie Dongfang looked at me suspiciously, not knowing what to say for a long time.
"You girl! Alas!" Finally, he sighed and took a swig of wine.
He must be very depressed, how can there be a girl's family who doesn't take innocence seriously at all, and I don't want to, but innocence is precious, and the price of life is even higher!
"Why did you go out alone that day?" Xie Dongfang was unwilling to give up, but he was still brooding.
"I followed Sanniang out." I whispered, "She knows martial arts!"
"You know? I was going to tell you about this that day." Xie Dongfang was startled, and then a spark appeared in his eyes that finally calmed down, "It's her!"
"No!" I quickly denied, "It's not her."
"Who is that?" he asked again.
"Thank you!" I deliberately raised my face, "Do you have to expose my scar!"
"Good! Good! If you don't say it, don't say it!" Xie Dongfang hurriedly coaxed me for fear that I would be angry.
"By the way, thank you, do you know the 'Seven Killing Underworld Gods'?" I suddenly remembered what Beichen Shaoyuan said.
"Seven Killing Underworld Gods?" Xie Dongfang frowned, "They are also top-notch killers in the arena, but their whereabouts are erratic. Few people have seen their true colors. What are you asking about?"
"What about Fengyi Pavilion?"
Xie Dongfang pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
What is the origin of this mysterious organization? If Jia Linglong is one of the "Seven Killing Gods", will it have anything to do with Du Hanrong's death? I pursed my lips and thought for a while, puzzled.
"Strange... so strange!"
I came back to my senses, Xie Dongfang was taking my pulse for me, and his brows were furrowed.
"The cold in your body... how come it seems that most of it has disappeared?"
Xie Dongfang looked at me in confusion, and I blinked innocently, expressing that I didn't know.
"But I was rescued by a young master who healed me, maybe it was him?"
"Master!..." Xie Dongfang repeated it in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Could it be that my medical skills have regressed..."
While talking, Jun Qidao sent someone to call me to the study.
"Jing'er, are you really determined to pretend to be your brother?" Xie Dongfang looked at me worriedly.
I nodded solemnly.
I looked at myself in plain clothes in the mirror, without makeup, with my hair simply tucked behind my head, my slightly thin body is now a little less slender, and it looks neat enough.
Walking into the study, Jun Qidao was waiting for me, and there was no trace of waves in his gloomy eyes.
But I know that the reason why Jun Qidao is so worried about Jun Shuxing is not only because he feels sorry for his only son, but for him, he also urgently needs Jun Shuxing to enter the dynasty as an official, so as to consolidate the power of the prime minister, so that he can be in harmony with the new dynasty. The powerful and powerful kings compete with each other. So my proposal will surely make him tempted.
"Jinger, do you know what you are doing?"
"Jing'er knows."
"That's a big crime to deceive the king!"
"As long as no one finds out, I am Jun Shuxing."
Jun Qidao stared at me for a long time.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Jing'er wants to share her father's worries."
I drop my eyelids, just for myself, I need such a deal.
"The officialdom is dangerous, how could you have a daughter's family—" He shook his head, but his eyes couldn't hide the eagerness to try.
"With my father here, my daughter will definitely be able to! And when my brother is healed, we can switch back without knowing it."
In fact, once I become an official in the dynasty, I can't avoid Beichen Shaoyuan, but as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Anyway, if he wants me, I can't escape from his palm. Under his nose, the enemy is bright and we are dark. However, this is also a dangerous move. If you go well, you will be bright, but if you don't go well, you will lose the whole game.
"Go back first, and let your father think about it." Jun Qidao pondered for a moment, then waved to me to go down.
"Then Jinger retire."
I closed the door, but my heart was relieved. Jun Qidao is a smart person. He already agreed when he said so. The very similar face between me and Jun Shuxing made him have to be tempted. As for how to turn me into Jun Shu Okay, that's his business. Since he can agree, he must be sure to turn the fake into the real.
Walking out the door and looking at the clear sky, I was a little confused, what will happen next
