Chapter 7 Peerless Beauty
Ningxiang Pavilion.
Inside the private room.
"Young Master, you are finally awake."
Hearing the movement, Di Long walked in quickly from the outside. Seeing Li Wuji wake up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But after finding that Li Wuji was sweating profusely, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.
"How long have I slept?"
Li Wuji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked casually.
"One day and one night."
Dillon frowned and replied.
When Li Wuji heard Di Long's answer, he was shocked. He didn't expect that he would have slept for so long.
After calming down, Li Wuji slowly got up and got off the ground, picked up a pot of wine on the table, pushed open the door and came to the corridor, standing at the railing.
The moment the door was opened, the noisy sound of drinking and music in the building completely brought him back to reality.
The dream just now made him fall into endless loneliness again.
He is an orphan and has never seen his parents before. It is a miracle to be able to grow up.
The love that the prince and princess for "Li Wuji" in memory and in their sleep made him envious and even jealous.
Especially the memory of the Crown Princess's desperate protection was imprinted in his mind like a knife and axe. Every time he woke up from his sleep, he would remember it for a long time.
Perhaps because his soul was penetrated by "Li Wuji", he could clearly feel the love and care. Although it was only in dreams and memories, it was out of reach, but he felt it deeply.
There will always be a moment when he really regards them as his biological parents.
The bloody battle in the nightmare was the incident in which the empress sent troops to suppress the East Palace when she was five years old. The tragic situation was hard to describe in words.
If the Crown Princess had not fought to each other for the death, "Li Wuji" might have died at that time, and he would not have had the chance to be reborn here.
In other words, the Crown Princess saved not only his son, but also him.
But he couldn't figure out who the person who left "Li Wuji" in the midst of the chaos was.
"So long has passed, is there any news outside?"
Li Wuji leaned down and drank a sip of wine, and asked lightly.
"Reporting to the young master, Tianshu has heard news that the capital has been strictly guarded by the Duying Guards. The Five Elements Department is searching the whole city, and many innocent people have been arrested. It seems that some people want to use scapegoats to complete the task."
Di Long bowed and answered slowly.
"I'll find a way to check the details of the Five Elements Department, especially the woman who fought with me, wearing a green long gown and using a sword. Her martial arts skills are not weak, so she should not be underestimated."
Li Wuji nodded and ordered in a deep voice.
He did not say much about the fact that innocent people were regarded as scapegoats, and even he could not move forward, let alone the lives of others.
"yes."
Dillon bowed and agreed.
"In addition, find a way to find out why Pang Xun suddenly resigned from the position of national magistrate and took me to the Heavenly Prison, and what happened in the court recently. I need to know why the empress waited for fifteen years before suddenly deciding to attack me."
Li Wuji paused for a moment and added another sentence.
"clear!"
Di Long agreed, turned around and went downstairs, and quickly walked out of Ningxiang Pavilion.
Li Wuji took a deep breath, stood by the railing, watching the singing and dancing below, and drank another sip of wine.
The strong alcohol passed through his throat, making his dizzy head clear a little more.
For him, there are too many questions that cannot be solved for a while.
He could not imagine that in his memory, the gentle and kind prince, the kind and honest prince, could he be a traitor who planned to kill his father and usurp the throne?!
At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from downstairs, accompanied by the praises of some male guests.
I saw a woman in purple clothes appearing at the other end of the second floor at some point, waving to the guests downstairs and saying hello.
Her graceful figure and unique temperament, and her every frown and smile made the male guests below fascinated and full of fascination.
Li Wuji held the wine pot, just glanced casually and withdrew his gaze. Now he had no intention of appreciating the beauty.
Perhaps because he noticed Li Wuji's indifference, the woman in purple, accompanied by two maids, slowly approached the corridor and came to Li Wuji's side.
Seeing the goddess in her heart walking to another man, the male guests downstairs stared at Li Wuji fiercely, with jealous eyes.
"I heard that a generous young man who lived in Ningxiang Pavilion last night was 1,000 taels at one time. I think it was this young man, right?"
The woman in purple looked at Li Wuji and smiled sweetly.
"It's just something outside of me, but after staying in some places for a long time, I always hope that the surroundings will be more lively, so that I can tell that I'm still alive."
Li Wuji smiled and replied casually.
"Since that's the case, then the young master can stay as long as he wants. In the future, this Tianzi No. 1 private room will be the young master's, and no one will disturb him."
The woman in purple pointed to the box next to her, still smiling.
"It seems that you are the boss of Ningxiang Pavilion, right?"
Li Wuji turned his head and glanced at the woman in purple and asked softly.
This was the first time he looked at her directly, but it was just a glance without a pause.
"Little woman Ji Wushuang, I have seen the young master, how dare I ask the young master's name Gao?"
The woman in purple saluted slightly and asked tentatively.
"Call me Wuji Young Master."
Li Wuji paused for a moment and replied casually.
"Wuji? There is something born from Wuji, and there is something but it returns to nothing. A good name."
Ji Wushuang murmured to himself as the name Wuji silently.
Hearing Ji Wushuang's words, Li Wuji subconsciously turned his head and looked at it again. Unexpectedly, a woman in Fengchen could actually say such philosophical words.
He didn't think so much, but he just took the last two words of his name. The reason for doing this was to attract the attention of the Empress in this way.
He never thought of disappearing forever. Since he would stand against the empress one day, he should always leave some opportunities.
But coincidentally, the name of him and this woman actually have the same word "no".
"The young master looks a little frowning. Are you worried?"
Ji Wushuang looked at Li Wuji again and asked softly, with a little concern in his voice that he shouldn't have.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've left the capital for too long, and many people are no longer there, and I can't figure out many things in the past. I can't help but feel a little regretful when I think about it."
Li Wuji smiled and said perfunctoryly.
"It seems that the young master is here to pursue the past. If so, the young master might as well find someone. There is nothing he doesn't know about the capital. There should be the answer that the young master wants there."
Ji Wushuang hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.
"who?"
Li Wuji's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking.
"The ghost guy is deep in the Nine Netherworld, but he has a strange personality. Only when the young master goes there can you know."
Ji Wushuang pointed at the direction and replied slowly.
"Thank you girl."
Li Wuji's eyes lit up, and he sincerely thanked him.
"You don't have to be polite. Since the young master has moved into Ningxiang Pavilion, he is a distinguished guest here. It's just a small effort. I wish you all the best."
Ji Wushuang nodded slightly and bowed with a clever smile.
"This is the first time I have seen a woman salute to a man."
Li Wuji looked at Ji Wushuang and pretended to mention it unintentionally.
"In these Nine Netherworlds, all the laws and regulations are not so clear-cut, everything varies from person to person."
Ji Wushuang explained with a smile.
Li Wuji nodded and said nothing more. However, if it was really like what Ji Wushuang said, the Nine Nether Realm could indeed temporarily block the place where they were settled, at least they would not see so many women and men.
"The little girl has some things to deal with, and the young master will do it."
Seeing that Li Wuji was no longer interested in speaking again, Ji Wushuang said goodbye consciously and slowly turned around and left with his maid.
Li Wuji glanced at Ji Wushuang's back and raised his eyebrows.
I had an intuition telling him that the owner of this art gallery seemed to have something unique.
After a stick of incense, Di Long returned and returned to Ningxiang Pavilion.
Li Wuji immediately took Di Long out of Ningxiang Pavilion and walked deep into the Jiuyou Realm. He wanted to meet the so-called ghost guy for a while.
If it is really like Ji Wushuang said, maybe this trip can really solve some of the questions in my heart...
