Chapter 294 Xia Ji
Xia Ji's life has been well arranged. She has been destined to be the future witch and queen of Xia Kingdom since she was born. She has learned royal etiquette since she was a child.
Her original name was not actually Xia Ji, but she later became famous in the Xia Kingdom. In addition, it was rumored that when she was born, there was a pond full of red lotus flowers in full bloom, and the red lotus happened to be the sacred flower of the Xia Kingdom.
Her birth was like the mercy of the gods, so the king of Xia Kingdom personally gave her the name "Xia Ji".
When Chu Yang heard this, he sighed inexplicably. Sure enough, as Yu Qingzhu said, the records in miscellaneous histories are not feasible, and many so-called history books are just written by the victors. There is no way to verify the true situation.
.
Xia Ji's name is recorded in those miscellaneous histories, as if she was arrogant and defiant, and gave herself a name regardless of other people's opinions.
In fact, this name was given to her by the father of Xia Ji's future husband, the king of Xia Kingdom at that time.
"I became the mother of the country at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to my eldest son in the same year. I thought I had done a good job, being fair and strict. I leveled the bowls of water in the harem, advised and assisted my husband, taught my children seriously, and obeyed my subjects.
I didn’t blame him harshly. I just didn’t expect that in the end, my husband would dislike me, my children would dislike me, and I would be sentenced to death on an unfounded charge.”
When Xia Ji talked about her past, she only looked sad and sad, but there was no trace of resentment or blame.
She seemed to simply want to speak out, but the more she really didn't understand, the more she didn't understand.
Chu Yang listened carefully, but thought about how this beauty who looked exactly like her endured the humiliation and worked hard to be a good wife and mother, taking concubines for her husband, helping her husband manage women, and showing no favoritism or jealousy.
Seeing this, she felt extremely panicked.
"I..." Chu Yang said weakly: "I'm not married. I may not be able to play the role of a wife well."
Xia Ji raised her hand to cover her lips, curled her eyes, smiled silently, and said: "Of course I understand that you are Yunying's unmarried daughter. Don't worry about this. I said I won't interfere. You just need to
Follow your ideas! How you want to deal with my husband, my children, and the sisters I have good friends with in the past is up to you. As you said, these are just my unwillingness
In a dream, I brought you here just to see how you would deal with it."
Is this just whatever she wants to do?
Xia Ji lowered her eyes: "My country is small, poor and weak. Those people just want to live a good life. I also work hard to let them live a good life, even if I make a deal with the devil.
My only wish is that my country and my people can live a good life without having to suffer the pain of annihilation, displacement, and being trampled and killed."
There is no doubt that Xia Ji is a true mother of the country who serves her people and the country. She has fulfilled her responsibilities and put all her thoughts on her people.
"Since others can't be trusted, why don't you do it yourself?" Chu Yang asked doubtfully.
Xia Ji was stunned: "Go up... by yourself? What does this mean?"
"Be your own emperor!" Chu Yang said neatly, blinking his eyes.
Xia Ji suddenly looked horrified: "Don't talk nonsense about such treacherous words. Woman, how can a woman be the emperor?"
Chu Yang looked at her thoughtfully, even she had to admit that Xia Ji was a very good woman, with a better mind and talent than many men.
Her husband's betrayal and child's abandonment, if it were her, she would never be able to resist resentment.
But Xia Ji never thought too much about herself from beginning to end.
Perhaps because she had Xia Kingdom and its people in her heart, she still had her obsession with her and was not devoured by Xia Ji who replaced her.
It is a pity that in such a social system where the status of men and women is extremely unequal, even though Xia Ji is full of talents and has received education since childhood, she can only rely on men. She never thought that relying on herself, she might be different.
road.
"What does the deal with the devil you mentioned...soul-exchange sacrifice have to do with you?" Chu Yang stared at her and asked.
A look of fear appeared in Xia Ji's eyes, and she opened and closed her mouth several times.
After a while, she slowly said: "After I die, I asked her to help me prevent the Xia Kingdom from being trampled by other countries, and let my people live without seeking wealth but seeking food and clothing. To this end, I am willing to dedicate
At the cost of my soul and body.”
"But... I didn't expect that the final situation would be like that." Xia Ji trembled her lips, at a loss, and held the handkerchief tightly: "I never thought about harming anyone, and I didn't expect that it would turn out like that.
Chu Yang, I... I know I am selfish, but I will not risk the lives of people in other countries for the sake of my own country. I said I don’t ask for anything else, as long as I keep the peace of Xia Country, it is enough.
."
"If you rely on others for things you can't do yourself, why should others follow your wishes? She promised you, but she didn't guarantee that she would do it, and she didn't say what the process would be like. Which way will the final result develop?
No one will know."
Chu Yang stood up and walked down the steps. As soon as the soles of her feet landed on the cold ground, they shook violently and quickly retracted, as if she hadn't stretched out her feet at all just now.
This is definitely not her body, but someone else's?
Chu Yang was a little depressed. She liked her body and didn't want to change it to anything else.
"At first you helped your husband and your children, but then you had no choice but to turn to the devil and risk your own soul. The result was even worse! Xia Ji, have you never thought of relying on yourself? Even now, you think
It's someone else. You want to see how far I can go. But Xia Ji, if I go to any extent, it only represents me. If we turn back time, can you change?"
Xia Ji was stunned for a moment, then she slowly shook her head.
She looked at Chu Yang and hesitated: "Chu Yang, you just need to let me see it, and..."
Before Xia Ji finished speaking, her figure gradually disappeared.
Chu Yang: "..." How did she find out that these ghosts have a very bad habit? They like to say half of the words and leave the other half when talking. It's all about this. Is there anything that can't be said directly?
After Xia Ji's soul disappeared, as if the pause button was pressed, there was movement outside. A woman in her twenties, wearing a lake blue palace dress, led a group of palace maids holding toiletries in their hands.
.
Lan Xiu was shocked when she saw Chu Yang sitting on the ground wearing only a thin undershirt with his hair hanging down.
"Mother, when you wake up, why don't you call your servant? I will help you change your clothes."
Chu Yang said "Oh" and silently let Lan Xiu wait for her to wash and change clothes.
Chu Yang experienced the luxurious taste of a complete waste, and he thought to himself, will he completely degenerate when he returns?
