the next day.

Li Ji did not go up the mountain to hunt, and Bu Ji did not go to the river to wash clothes. The two walked together and went around a mountain to the town.

Before entering the town, I could hear the hawking of small vendors and the aroma of various breakfasts filled the air.

Freshly baked buns, piping hot dough, wontons with chopped green onions...

Bu Ji suddenly recalled the scene on the day of the talent show a few years ago. The heavy and tall city gate opened before her, and it seemed that her life was destined at that moment.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Ji looked down at her, Bu Ji shook his head and pulled him all the way to the inn where the Taoist priest was staying as others said.

There was already a long queue outside the inn, even busier than the street corner they had just passed by, and everyone had an anxious and praying look on their faces.

"It seems that these people are here to ask about their illnesses."

Li Ji looked at the sallow faces one after another and sneered. This sorcerer was actually more capable than the imperial physician in the palace. So many people came to him for help.

Bu Ji looked at the long line in front of him, worried.

"I don't know how long the queue will end. Are we too late?"

As he was speaking, a man dressed as a waiter came trotting over from the front and saluted Bu Ji respectfully.

"Madam, Taoist Duzhu wants to see you."

Bu Ji looked at the waiter in confusion and asked.

"Is it me you're calling?"

The waiter smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, another voice was heard coming from the front.

"I'm sorry, fellow villagers. Taoist priests Duzhu and Jingting are closed to visitors today."

"Come on, let's go in."

Li Ji took Bu Ji's hand and followed the waiter inside.

The villagers gathered outside the inn and started shouting, with voices of dissatisfaction rising one after another.

"We were here first, why should we let them go in first?"

"These two have ruddy complexions. They don't look sick at all. They must be liars."

"That young lady is pregnant and is about to give birth. I'm afraid she has asked the Taoist priests Duzhu and Jingting to be her midwives?"

......

Several waiters from the inn ran out and started to chase people away.

However, Bu Ji and Li Ji were welcomed into the inn by the waiter, and only left respectfully when they arrived at a secluded and elegant place.

Bu Ji carefully looked at the furnishings in the room, and suddenly saw a person slowly emerging from behind a screen with a painting of white lotus floating on water.

The man was about twenty years old, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and wearing a simple and elegant robe. He was sitting on a chair with an outstanding temperament. His handsome face was in sharp contrast with the white lotus on the screen. Two wooden circles like wheel wheels replaced the chair legs.

Then an elder walked out from behind the young man. He looked particularly sage-like in his dark purple robe. The elder looked at Bu Ji with a smile and said.

"It's been so long since we last met, is Miss Lin doing well?"

Bu Ji was startled, and then looked at the Taoist priest in front of him in surprise.

She had seen these two people...

The night before she traveled through time, she got off work and went to a noodle restaurant to eat. There was no one in the restaurant. When she was about to leave, two Taoists came in from outside. They were Du Zhu and Jing Ting.

The two of them even exchanged glances with her.

She remembered that she did not tell them her name at that time.

"Why are you here!?"

Bu Ji let go of Li Ji's hand, took a step forward and asked in surprise.

Li Ji looked at him in confusion, holding his forehead with his hand and thinking hard for a long time, but still looked confused.

He remembered that his wife's surname was Bu, but how come her surname changed to Lin? Maybe he had forgotten something again.

These two Taoists actually recognized his wife, so they must be old acquaintances.

But he can't remember it now.

"Meeting is fate."

The young man on the chair said with a faint smile, in a gentle and elegant manner, and the elder said again.

"Many years ago, we met you and read your fortune. We predicted that you would become a noble and extraordinary person in the future."

"So, I traveled here because of you two?"

Bu Ji said in surprise.

"good."

"I am Duzhu, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Jingting. We are here to help you."

Du Zhu was quite proud when talking about this matter, but seeing Li Ji's silent expression, he sighed and shook his head, then looked at Bu Ji.

"This person is probably the emperor of Chu Jin?"

Bu Ji was about to continue asking questions when he heard Li Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly speak with a very gloomy and alert tone.

"I guess it's no coincidence that I met these two immortals this time."

Bu Ji knew that Li Ji probably remembered something. Indeed, they had fled all the way here from the gorge, and even King Xing's officers and soldiers had to retreat helplessly. How could they run into Du Zhu and Jing Ting by such a coincidence?

Jingting, who was sitting on a chair, spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Li, please don't mind. My brother and I are from other worlds. We are here to see you and to cure your snake venom."

He said it so lightly that Bu Ji felt hopeful again.

It seems that the two of them have a way to help Li Ji cure his illness.

Du Zhu pushed him forward. Jing Ting put one hand on Li Ji's pulse. His brows gradually furrowed, and he turned to look at Li Ji with admiration.

"Mr. Li is indeed a patient person. No wonder King Xing couldn't find you. You were poisoned so badly that you didn't seek medical treatment in time. I'm afraid Jing Ting can't imagine the torment you must have endured."

"Can you cure this poison?"

Bu Ji asked hurriedly, extremely surprised.

Sooner or later she would settle accounts with these two. Why did they insist on bringing her to this place? She was just an undertaker with a good income and a good life. There was no need for her to travel through time and space to become a phoenix.

Now, she only wanted to ask these two people to help Li Ji cure his illness.

"My junior fellow apprentice is quite knowledgeable in medicine and has inherited all the true teachings from our master. I think there should be a way to cure it."

Duzhu said proudly, and then looked at Jingting who was sitting on the chair inquiringly.

Jingting smiled faintly and nodded.

"It's not difficult to cure this poison, but... when does Master Li want to cure it?"

Bu Ji was puzzled. Wouldn't it be harder to cure the disease the longer it was delayed?

Li Ji frowned.

"What do you mean by this?"

"I wonder how much Mr. Li remembers about the past?"

Jingting asked in a mysterious way, and Bu Ji answered for him.

"Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Sometimes I remember it, sometimes I forget it completely."

"So do you want him to go back to the way he was before?"

"You have to know that your freedom at this moment is the most precious thing, and it is not easy for you to be alive."

"If he is not the emperor, the child in your belly will not be a dragon son or a dragon daughter. My brother and I will do our best to change your predetermined fate."

"You have to think about it."

Jingting said this to Bu Ji. Li Ji's current situation makes it difficult for him to be independent.

Bu Ji was stunned. Back to the past?

Then she would have to go back and continue to be the queen, and be trapped in the Forbidden City for the rest of her life. Maybe there would be other women who would do evil and fight with her.

She really didn't like days like that.

The so-called predetermined destiny, Taoist Jingting should be talking about a way to return to the modern times. She will die of dystocia and return to the modern times.

Helping her turn things around means helping her survive.

She was in trouble.

Li Ji stared at Bu Ji, and soon the three of them heard her firm voice.

"think."

Because that was the real Li Ji. He was supposed to be the emperor, not a hunting villager.

Jingting raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Bu Ji with some surprise, and said after a while.

"Well, I hope you won't regret it."

Du Zhu always regarded meeting Bu Ji as a blessing in his life, and even let Li Ji and Bu Ji stay in an inn during the detoxification period.

Jingting was a master of acupuncture and helped Li Ji cure the snake venom in just one night.

After Li Ji received acupuncture again, Bu Ji came forward to serve him. Li Ji took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face, then asked in a calm voice.

"How long has it been since I wrote to Governor Su?"

"Three days."

Although it is a long way from here to Dingxi, we should be there soon.

Jingting, who was sitting nearby to rest, heard this and immediately thought of what Li Ji was going to do. He tapped the teacup in his hand with his fingertips and smiled.

"Young Master's body has not yet recovered, so there is no rush to wait."

"Li Ji thanks you two for saving my life. I will repay you one day."

Li Ji compiled the book. He had long black hair falling by his ears and his deep eyes were unfathomable.

Jingting's thoughts are much more serious than Duzhu's, and he is too good at seeing through other people's thoughts, which makes him dislike him.

Jingting kept smiling and put the teacup on the table.

"We two are just commoners, how can we expect Master Li to repay us? However, I hope you can look forward in the future and not worry about everything."

He didn't know yet that the woman beside him was about to disappear without a trace, and he was still immersed in his plan to return to the capital to quell the rebellion of King Xing.
