Ji Zixiu was always like this, in his past and present lives.

Lu Qianlan always wanted to protect Ji Zixiu under his wings from any harm.

Just pampering and loving him, Lu Qianlan always felt uneasy.What did he use to fight against the sky?After traveling through so many worlds and dozens of missions, Lu Qianlan had the opportunity to come to him.

Although this opportunity was created by him, it is too precious, like a fragile item, so he can only touch it lightly with his fingertips.

Ji Zixiu's body is warm, he can laugh, and act like a baby with him, which is already very good.

In front of Ji Yunsheng, Lu Qianlan hugged Ji Zixiu deeply: "I'm sorry... I know you are not afraid, but from the beginning to the end, I was the one who was afraid."

Ji Zixiu froze in place, his dissatisfaction with Lu Qianlan's concealment of this incident also dissipated.

Instead, he was at a loss and patted Lu Qianlan on the back awkwardly.

The sad atmosphere only lasted for a moment, and Lu Qianlan felt his warmth, and his desolate heart was finally filled a little bit.

Just like that, interlocking fingers with him, as if heart and heart can also be connected together.

What he asked for was really not much.

Ji Zixiu smiled crookedly, "There's one thing I didn't tell you."

"……what?"

Ji Zixiu closed his eyes slightly, looking satisfied and happy: "When you found me in the ruined temple, I was thinking——finally, I saw you again. Maybe this is fate. When I am at a loss, it is always you Find mine."

Lu Qianlan laughed softly.

This is not fate.

It's a miracle.

What he has achieved through countless worlds.

--meet.

They will meet eventually, maybe sometimes it is the barrier of time, sometimes it is the barrier of reincarnation, but no matter what, even if they become soul bodies, they will eventually meet each other in the assessment world.

The original system did not lie to him. This is what Lu Qianlan feels most thankful for.

"Don't listen to the affairs of the Ji family, can you promise me?" Lu Qianlan's attitude was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

Although Ji Zixiu warmed his heart so that he would not be in the same state as before, Lu Qianlan would never allow such a big accident to happen.This was their last mission, and Lu Qianlan knew that the system would never release water.

Ji Yunsheng saw the two show their affection the whole time, and smiled awkwardly: "...Is it not good for me to be here?"

Lu Qianlan frowned: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Ji Yunsheng: "..." General Lu, you won't let me go with grandpa!

Ji Zixiu was a little shaken when he heard Lu Qianlan's words, but when he turned his head and saw Ji Yunsheng's appearance, he looked at Ji Yunsheng for a long time before saying in a muffled voice, "Ji Yunsheng, what happened to that ancestor of your Ji family?"

What Ji Yunsheng originally thought was that since Ji Zixiu was so curious, there was nothing wrong with telling Ji Zixiu privately, since he had listened to it as fairy tales since he was a child.

But now he was still thinking about Lu Qianlan's threat just now, so he winked at Ji Zixiu vigorously.

"If you don't tell me, it will only lead to one result. Do you really want me to ask Ji Yunsheng in private?" Ji Zixiu looked at Lu Qianlan.

Lu Qianlan frowned and looked at him: "You must know?"

"Yes." This matter meant a lot to Ji Zixiu.

Lu Qianlan's hands trembled: "Ji Yunsheng knows more than I do, so let me tell you."

He was able to let go, which surprised Ji Zixiu.

Different from Ji Zixiu's surprise, Ji Yunsheng was confused: "General Lu is not from Ji's family, how could he know better than our Ji family?"

Lu Qianlan frowned: "You can go back."

Instead, Ji Yunsheng became curious: "I would like to hear General Lu's version, to see if it is different from what grandpa told me."

Lu Qianlan: "..."

Sensing his displeasure, Ji Zixiu said to Ji Yunsheng, "I want to hear what you two have to say. Why don't you come in and sit inside?"

The three of them went inside together, and Ji Zixiu made tea. His movements were not sloppy at all, and his every move was full of elegance.

Ji Yunsheng stared blankly for a long time, thinking that if he looked a little better, how many people would his demeanor attract.

Lu Qianlan took a sip of tea, feeling very bad.

Ji Zixiu's tea was not handed to Ji Yunsheng at all, and Ji Yunsheng's eyes widened: "Why is it only General Lu who has it?"

Ji Zixiu said calmly, "Because I am a person who distinguishes between likes and dislikes."

Ji Yunsheng can tell who he loves, hate... Could it be that he hates him?

If other people said that, Ji Yunsheng probably would have scolded him back long ago.But when facing this person with the same name as his ancestor, Ji Yunsheng always felt a generation shorter and a little short of breath.

"Let me tell my story first."

Ji Zixiu nodded.

Ji Yunsheng coughed twice, and slowly told the story he had heard——

The Ji family was actually not good-looking before. Even a long time ago, the head of the Ji family was ridiculed by outsiders because of his appearance.Before the Xiao Dynasty, there was the Great Yin Dynasty.

At that time, just as masculinity is advocated now, there was admiration for strength and demeanor.

Even up to the emperor, down to the common people will put white powder on the face when they go out.I don't know why, the head of the Ji family was ridiculed for his appearance all his life, and after his death, the children of the Ji family became more and more beautiful.

The older generation said that the ancestors saw the gods after death, which was a blessing from the gods.

Until 400 years ago, the Ji family was already famous for their looks.

At the same time, the best-looking member of the Ji family - Ji Zixiu was born.

When he was still a teenager, he was already famous all over the world.At that time, the brutal emperor Xiao Chengdi had heard his name, and had invited him into the palace several times, but Ji Hou said that he was extremely weak and refused.

Ji's family wanted to protect Ji Zixiu. Every time Emperor Xiao Cheng went to Ji's house, they would drive Ji Zixiu far away, either to offer incense or go to school.But these... are all for nothing.

Emperor Xiao Cheng accidentally saw a picture scroll in Ji Hou's study.

"Who is in this portrait?"

Ji Hou replied seriously: "Your Majesty, this painting was given to our Ji family by a blind old man a few years ago. As for who is on it, I don't know."

"Why did you put a painting of a blind old man in your study so preciously?"

Ji Hou said again: "The dog used to cry so much when he was young that he was almost hoarse from crying. The blind old man was begging for water, but when he hugged him, the dog stopped crying. So this painting ...It has always been regarded as his amulet by our family, for the purpose of calming the soul."

Emperor Xiao Cheng was thoughtful, obviously he had heard Ji Hou talk about the cause and effect, but he had to get what he wanted: "In this huge imperial palace, there is no painting that can match the artistic conception of this painting. That beauty is painted vividly, I really want to see how stunning a beauty with such a back is."

It was obvious that he was begging for money, and Ji Hou was full of bitterness, so he had to offer the picture scroll: "Your Majesty, our Ji family are also rough people, and good wine needs a good glass to match. Why don't you just hand over this painting to me?" Your Majesty, this bosom friend."

Emperor Xiao Cheng was used to plundering, so he didn't care about the dissatisfaction of his subjects at 01:30.

"Okay! Aiqing really knows what I mean, haha!"

Ji Ji could only lower his head even lower, and submit the painting humbly.

After Xiao Chengdi left, Ji Mu brought Ji Zixiu back to Hou Mansion.I don't know if it was fulfilled, but Ji Zixiu had a high fever that day.Ji's mother complained to Ji Hou: "You know it's Zixiu's amulet, why did you give it to His Majesty!?"

Ji Ji had a very headache: "...Don't believe in those who have them."

Ji's mother still complained, but she knew what Emperor Xiao Cheng looked like in her heart.

And this incident completely broke Ji Ji's heart and made him take the team.The eldest prince is pure by nature, even if he becomes emperor in the future, he will not treat his subjects like this.

As everyone knows, this incident has become a reminder for the Ji family.

Emperor Xiao Cheng returned to the palace, hung up the portrait, but secretly ordered the shadow guards to find the person in the painting.

He doesn't believe it!

"The focus is on seeing Ji Hou's son who hid himself so badly." Emperor Xiao Cheng had long harbored suspicions about Ji Hou, "I was just curious for a while, he protected his son like something, and when he went back to Ji's mansion, Ji Zixiu Not at home. Do you really think I am a three-year-old child?!"

The shadow guard cupped his fists and quickly flew out of the palace.

A few months later, the second prince seized power, and Emperor Xiao Cheng also began to find that his spirit began to deteriorate.

His waking hours became less and less every day, and he began to doubt his second son.

Emperor Xiao Cheng's attitude was very strange, and he didn't blame him, but laughed twice: "Very good, as expected of my son. It's better to leave this country to him! It's better than Sheng'er, who is soft-hearted and is accepted by the minister. I don’t even know if I hold it.”

The second prince seized power step by step, and even got the secret support of Emperor Xiao Cheng.

He is ruthless and does not spare his brother.

Soon the First Prince was also bizarrely poisoned, exactly the same as Xiao Chengdi.

When the second prince walked to the palace, Emperor Xiao Cheng lay on the bed and coughed hard twice: "Son, I am not mean to you, you are really ruthless."

The second prince also discovered a dark force to help him during this period of time. Seeing Emperor Xiao Cheng like this, he felt an abnormal sense of pleasure: "You only need to issue an edict, and I can give you the antidote."

Give him the antidote?Emperor Xiao Cheng sneered.

There are always some people in this world who claim to be smart and treat others as fools.

Ji Ji is like this, and so is his second son.

How could he give the antidote!

Emperor Xiao Cheng looked at the curtains on the bed: "The edict has been written for you a long time ago, and I'm tired too. I'm also satisfied when I get so many good things as the emperor."

His reaction made the second prince feel very strange.

Emperor Xiao Cheng remembered seeing Ji Zixiu's appearance described by the shadow guard three days ago, and sneered: "If you want the throne, I'll give it to you. After death, I want Ji Zixiu's son to be buried with me."

What he wants, he has to get it by any means.

The second prince frowned. He had heard that the concubine was buried with him, but a minister's... son was buried with him?

His father has always been so weird, but the second prince is a person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.Now that Emperor Xiao Cheng has issued the imperial edict, so what if he fulfilled his father's last wish!

The second prince raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, it's a deal."

After the death of Emperor Xiao Cheng, the second prince searched the palace for his funeral objects.

And Emperor Xiao Cheng's mausoleum has been under construction for a long time. Many years ago, Emperor Xiao Cheng seemed to foretell his own end, and ordered craftsmen to build his own mausoleum.

Not long after, Emperor Xiao Cheng left completely.

The whole country mourns.

The second prince won the reputation of filial piety, and on the day he ascended the throne as emperor, he was lucky enough to read the secret history of the royal family.

It turned out that Emperor Xiao Cheng had a very miserable life when he was a child. He was the son of the late emperor and his sister who had incest.

Before long, she became pregnant.

The first emperor also treated her like a jewel, but she died tragically when giving birth to Emperor Xiao Cheng.

Emperor Xiao Cheng lost his mother and concubine, and because of his background, he was despised and ridiculed by others, so he had the habit of hoarding leftovers since he was a child.

When he grew up, this habit intensified, and he began hoarding gold and silver.

After he killed all his brothers ruthlessly and became the king of God, this habit became more and more intense, and it became what it is today.

After the second prince saw the book, he destroyed it disgustingly, and deeply hated the Xiao family.

It turned out that his blood was not very clean.

But what he promised to Emperor Xiao Cheng, he will definitely realize it.

That day also happened to be the day Ji Hou decided to sacrifice Ji Zixiu's life to save his life.Ji's mother secretly replaced the poisoned wine with drugs, and she arranged for servants and guards to send Ji Zixiu away.

But Ji Shi found out about it halfway, and scolded her: "You are confused! Do you want everyone in Ji's family to die?"

Ji Hou sent people to chase after that team, but along the way, he ran into the second prince's shadow guard.

Under the moonlight, the second prince's face looked very scary, and he raised the corner of his mouth: "Could it be that Ji Ji is dissatisfied with the emperor's will?"

Ji Hou lowered his head and firmly suppressed his anger: "I beg Your Majesty to find a way out around our Ji family. Your Majesty can take this order from me at any time. It's just that there are so many people in the Ji family. Please don't make things difficult for them."

The second prince laughed: "What did Ji Hou say? You are the pillar of the country, and you are not just a son like Ji Zixiu. Besides, this is an order from the emperor."

He made it clear that he wanted to avenge himself, and Ji Hou regretted it unceasingly, with a bitter mouth: "I beg Your Majesty to let my son live, I am already an old bone, this life can be given to Your Majesty at any time."

The second prince's smile faded, and he was quite impatient: "What do I want your life for? Besides, your son's life is not my insistence, but the father's."

This matter was irreversible, and the second prince changed the subject: "It's just that your Ji family sent someone to send Ji Zixiu away privately, and you must be punished for this."

Ji Hou pursed his lips, not pleading for himself a word.

"Just fine..." The second prince's eyeballs rolled, "If the title is cut, what if the Ji family can't be an official forever?"

Ji Hou's heart trembled, and he bowed down: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

If he pleads again, the rest of the Ji family will lose their lives.

"It's midnight, Ji Hou should go back early, it's better for your son to be sent to the mausoleum by my people."

Ji Ji's face was ashen, and his body shook violently.

The second prince could not understand his appearance for a long time, so he waved his hand and summoned a shadow guard to send him away.

When Ji Yunsheng said this, he still felt embarrassed: "The ancestors were too unlucky, and our Ji family also began to decline from that time."

After hearing all this, Ji Zixiu's expression was very ugly, he was stuck in his own thoughts and couldn't get out.

Lu Qianlan held his hand distressedly, but Ji Zixiu didn't respond.

Ji Yunsheng originally told it in the form of a story, but when he saw Ji Zixiu's expression, he thought he said something wrong again: "...are you okay?"

"fine."

Ji Zixiu looked very tired, forced a smile on his face and said to Ji Yunsheng, "Go back first."

Ji Yunsheng also stood up in a daze, even forgetting that he wanted to hear Lu Qianlan's version of the story.

When he left the small courtyard, it was already dark outside.

Tonight is the fifteenth day, and the moon hangs high in the sky, looking very round.

However, it had snowed a few days ago, so it was still a bit cold after all.

Ji Yunsheng rubbed his hands, and slowly disappeared into the dark night.

On this side, Ji Zixiu was in a very bad state of mind. He sneered and said, "I thought it was really the underground palace my parents sent me to. I didn't expect so many things to happen after I fell into a coma."

Lu Qianlan didn't say anything, just hugged him tightly in his arms.

Ji Zixiu's face was pale: "Do you think I won't be able to bear the blow after hearing this?"

"……Um."

Ji Zixiu smiled miserably: "With you by my side, I'm not afraid."

Not afraid, why are you still trembling?

Lu Qianlan didn't say anything, but hugged him even tighter.

The last trace of the truth, probably only Lu Qianlan knows.Ji Zixiu asked him: "What is the other version that Ji Yunsheng said? When he said that the Ji family changed from extremely ugly to extremely beautiful in that generation, I had doubts. Is it... the system?"

Lu Qianlan nodded sullenly, and said the words that Ji's ancestors made a wish that day: "I hope that future generations will not be bullied and ridiculed by others just because of their appearance."

Ji Zixiu opened his eyes wide, shocked: "It turns out...it turned out to be like this."

How related is their Ji family to that thing?

This is really...

Ji Zixiu laughed hard.

There was an ancestor who made a wish because of his appearance, and later he was dragged down because of it.

Is this thing a life saver or a harm?

Ji Zixiu found it ironic.

No wonder, when seeing 0404 for the first time, it would say that this appearance is attached to his soul like a poison——

It cannot be eliminated.
