"Brother Feng, get up, the sun is shining on your butt." Zi Ling'er lay on the bedside and pinched Lin Feng's nose with her little hands.
Lin Feng opened his eyes, looked at the sky outside, and said with a wry smile, "It's gloomy, where is the sun?"
"It's time to get up then. Uncle Yan and Sister Yu Ji are both up," Ling'er said with a smile.
This is the "Fire City", the capital of the Red Fire Kingdom.
The Red Fire Nation is very famous because its capital is surrounded by nine huge volcanoes, and the temperature here is high all year round.
Lin Feng planned to follow Mr. Yan and Yu Ji to the Wuhun Palace, and he wanted to put Linger in place for the time being.
…
Lin Feng got up, and Ling'er was waiting on Lin Feng to wash himself, just like a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Ever since he came out of Qingyang Sect with Lin Feng and spent some time with Lin Feng, Ling'er has become much more cheerful.
After breakfast, Mr. Yan sent someone to inform Lin Feng that Lady Yu Ji was going to the Crimson Fire Kingdom Palace to have a look, and asked Lin Feng if he wanted to go?
Later, Lin Feng learned that Yu Ji's life experience seemed to be related to the Red Fire Kingdom.
Ling'er wanted to visit the royal palace of a country, so she grabbed Lin Feng's hand and looked at Lin Feng pitifully.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Then let's go and see it together?".
"Brother Feng is the best." Ling'er looked very excited.
When the important figures from the Wuhun Palace arrived, the Lord of the Scarlet Fire Kingdom personally came out to greet them.
Yu Ji nodded and walked straight towards the depths of the Crimson Fire Kingdom's palace.
At that moment, Lin Feng felt a strong feeling of sadness from Yu Ji.
"What's wrong with sister Yu Ji?" Ling'er also felt Yu Ji's emotions and couldn't help but ask.
Yan Laodao said, "This is Lady Yu Ji's homeland."
"Homeland?" Lin Feng looked at Mr. Yan doubtfully.
Yan Laodao said, "Thousands of years ago, Lady Yu Ji was the princess of the previous dynasty. However, Lady Yu was born to a palace maid. Later, when the country encountered a crisis, Lady Yu was chosen to marry...".
That was a past event that happened to Yu Ji. Even now, Yu Ji is unwilling to recall too much. When all the past events come to mind, she can only feel sad.
Yu Ji's childhood was very unfortunate, because her mother was a palace maid, and a palace maid gave birth to a daughter, so she was not qualified to raise her own children. Yu Ji was fostered under the knees of a noble concubine, but she never received maternal love since she was a child.
The former ruler of the country had sixty-four princes and princesses. How could he remember that there was also a daughter born from a palace maid named Yu Ji?
When she was six years old, Yu Ji finally met her biological mother. It was not until that time that Yu Ji began to feel maternal love, but they met in private, which was strictly prohibited.
There is no shortage of fights in the harem. When she was seven years old, Yu Ji's biological mother secretly met Yu Ji, but was discovered by the imperial concubine. Then Yu Ji's biological mother was dragged away. From then on, Yu Ji never saw her biological mother again.
"Your biological mother died miserably. After being beaten to death, she was dumped in the back of the mountain and her body was eaten by wolves."
Old Yan murmured.
"Although Ms. Yu Ji is young, perhaps because she has experienced too many hardships, Ms. Yu Ji is precocious. When she heard about her biological mother, she did not shed tears, and she did not even burn a piece of paper money for her biological mother."
Lin Feng sighed and said, "If she is discovered, I'm afraid she will be beaten to death. The battles in the harem are always cruel. No one will leave a princess full of hatred in her heart."
"Yes... Lady Yu Ji was chosen as the wedding princess when she was thirteen years old. However, she encountered an evil spirit on the way and the wedding team was killed. Lady Yu Ji almost died as well, but fortunately, a member of the Wuhun Palace
A big shot appeared, killed the evil spirit, and Lady Yu Ji was able to enter the Spirit Hall."
Mr. Yan recalled everything in the past.
Lin Feng asked, "Was Mr. Yan also a member of the wedding team at that time?".
Mr. Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I am the only surviving guard. I entered the Wuhun Hall with Master Yu Ji. In the Wuhun Hall, Master Yu Ji... showed an unimaginable talent, which shocked everyone.
The eighteen masters of the main hall of Wuhun Hall."
There was a look of pride on Mr. Yan's face. He seemed to be thinking of the stunned and disbelieving expressions of those in the Wuhun Palace during Yu Ji's talent test. He seemed to be thinking of the scene where the eighteen chief palace masters hurriedly came to confirm.
.
"Sister Yu Ji is a good person, and good people are rewarded with good things," Zi Ling'er said in a low voice.
"Yes, good people will be rewarded," Mr. Yan said with certainty.
"What happened next? This country was still destroyed?" Lin Feng said.
"That was five years later. In an already decadent country, internal strife continued. The king was strangled to death by more than a dozen maids in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Many princes competed for the throne. The country fell into turmoil and the princes were divided. A hundred years later,
Only then did someone put down the war, but the ancient country of the past disappeared and was replaced by the Red Fire Country."
Mr. Yan said.
Lin Feng was moved. The king was strangled to death by more than a dozen palace maids. He must have been an ignorant king, right?
"After hearing the news of the death of the king, Lord Yu Ji stayed alone for a day. I know that although Lord Yu Ji hates his ruthlessness, he is Lord Yu Ji's father after all. Blood is thicker than water. Lord Yu Ji secretly falls
Tears, that was the first time I saw Lady Yu Ji shed tears."
Yan Laodao.
This is a story from Yu Ji's past. She once sacrificed too much just to stay alive.
Later, Yu Ji severed all ties with her former motherland.
…
"This is the first time I've come back since I left"! Mr. Yan murmured.
Thousands of years have passed, and many things have changed.
But this palace is still the palace it was thousands of years ago.
Yu Ji went to a small back garden. She stood there and gently touched the pavilion, rockery, and everything here.
She stayed here for a long time.
"Is this the place where Lady Yu Ji stayed with her mother when she was a child?" Zi Ling'er whispered.
Lin Feng sighed and said, "Maybe."
That was the happiest year of Yu Ji's life. She could see her mother once every five days.
She can cuddle up in her mother's arms and act coquettishly like other children, or she can express her grievances like other children.
Even though a thousand years have passed, Yu Ji cannot forget the image of her mother that is deeply imprinted in her mind.
But everything is in the past.
"Are you okay?" Yu Ji murmured. She stood in the pavilion, but her tears fell down uncontrollably.
Her eyes blurred.
She seemed to see a little girl standing not far away, laughing as loudly as a silver bell.
"Mom, come and catch me," the little girl said with a smile.
A beautiful woman chased over and held the little girl in her arms.
"Yu Ji never wants to leave her mother." The little girl hugged the beautiful woman tightly.
"Mother will never leave my Yu Ji." The beautiful woman also hugged the little girl.
But the happy time was too short, and when it got dark, they had to separate.
The little girl was very reluctant to give up and clung to the beautiful woman's clothes.
"Silly boy, my mother will still be here waiting for you in five days." The beautiful woman knelt down and kissed the little girl.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded solemnly.
…
But Yu Ji knew that this was the last time she saw her mother. Five days later, her mother did not come.
Seeing the figure fading away, Yu Ji stretched out her hand to catch the departing figure.
But she didn't catch anything, everything had already gone with the wind... only her thoughts and sorrow were left.
