Chapter 203 Meng Po (11)
"Oh, I know everything."
The director couldn't do anything about it.
Now that I'm here, there's absolutely no chance of successfully coming back to life.
Besides, there would be no good result if I went back.
Either stupid or paralyzed.
It would be better to be reborn again.
"I just checked his fate book, and it's a rare good fate among thousands of people."
"But somehow, it was destroyed by an evil demon that suddenly appeared."
Changed his good fortune.
As a result, Cao Yushou, who was supposed to have a glorious life, a high position in the government, and a natural death, had a bad fate of being bedridden at a young age and dying of illness.
“So how do we fix this?”
Taking Cao Yu in here is also a hot potato.
Can't keep it nor let it go.
"I don't know the reason, how can I fix it?"
There was no way to find out what caused all this, even he could do nothing about it.
"You're not saying that his life was replaced?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
The director didn't react.
"Since his life was replaced, who was the original owner of the bad life? Could it be related to him, or was he the instigator?"
"Yup!"
The director opened his tattered notebook again and read a lot, and no one else could understand what he was saying.
"Yes, he is the monarch of this southern country."
Where there is a South, there is a North.
Cao Yushou is from the north.
"They are two countries apart, but they are still involved in such a lawsuit. It seems that this must be intentional."
Yue Niang felt that the king of the Southern Kingdom must be suspected.
But even though the suspect has been found, the problem still remains unsolved.
Even if he killed the culprit a hundred times, Cao Yushou would not be able to go back.
“There is still room for recovery.”
The director thought silently, stroking his beard and speaking.
"how?"
Yue Niang couldn't help but wonder, is there any other way? Can the lost soul be restored to its original state?
“Tracing back to the source, everything goes back to the starting point.”
The director patted Yue Niang on the shoulder and said, "It seems that I will have to trouble you to go there again for this matter."
"No, why me again?"
She just came back and her butt isn't even warm yet.
"I just looked around and found someone who plays a very important role in this matter."
"Who?"
"Princess Yinghua."
"Yinghua..." Yue Niang didn't recognize him and didn't respond.
But Cao Yushou, who was standing by, felt a stab in the heart, and some incoherent images popped up in his mind.
It is a woman in red dancing under a peach tree.
But who is she?
He couldn't figure it out.
It was as if the memory of this person had been dug out from his brain.
The director noticed his reaction and understood.
He looked at Yue Niang openly again, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this was a predetermined fate.
The moment he flipped through the fate book and saw Yinghua, he knew that Yue Niang would be implicated no matter what this time.
Everyone has his or her own destiny, but it is inevitable that theirs will intersect.
Yinghua, Yue Niang, and even the little girl who hasn't appeared yet.
Who is who, and who can tell?
"But what does this brilliance have to do with me?"
Yue Niang always felt that the old man had bad intentions and was taking advantage of her because she was blind. Who knows, he might have dug a trap for her to fall into.
But she had no evidence.
How miserable.
"This Yinghua was originally a princess from the Northern Kingdom."
The director explained her identity in detail, "After she came of age, she became extremely beautiful and charming, stunning the whole country..."
"When she was eighteen, she met a man who made her fall in love with him at first sight."
"That man is handsome and elegant, and is well-educated. He is the third place selected by the emperor."
The more she listened, the more it seemed eerily familiar.
Suddenly I remembered the person she brought with her.
"Um, Director, let me interrupt you. Could this third place winner you're talking about be me..."
Is this the one next to me?
The director stopped her from guessing, "Shh—the story isn't finished yet, don't reveal the plot in advance."
"Oh."
That's him.
I didn't expect that this kid had such a good destiny?
He passed the imperial examination and was favored by the noble Princess.
Tsk tsk tsk, it was so unjust that he died of this illness.
Otherwise, at least you can have a happy and satisfying ending to your life.
"This scholar, who has won the imperial examination, naturally admires Princess Yinghua very much. A talented man and a beautiful woman like each other, so it is natural that the lovers will eventually get married."
"but……"
Yue Niang took over this turning point for him.
The director was not very satisfied, as she had ruined the storyteller's fun.
The beginning, development, turn and end are his favorite parts.
"However, not long after, the Southern Kingdom sent an envoy to the Northern Kingdom to ask for a marriage alliance, and the target of the marriage proposal was Princess Yinghua."
"Yinghua is unwilling to do so. The king of the Northern Kingdom is already an old man in his forties or fifties. The queen just died, and he came to harm a young girl like her."
It's like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
Yue Niang complained in her heart, men can only be quiet when they are placed on the table.
An eighteen-year-old boy likes an eighteen-year-old girl.
A 48-year-old man also likes an 18-year-old girl.
Oh, that’s really abominable.
"And he succeeded."
The director saw Yue Niang's anger and continued to speak according to her true feelings.
"If the North refuses, the South will go to war with it."
The South is strong in military power and rich in country, so it is not afraid. However, the North has been plagued by internal strife in the imperial court in recent years, which has caused instability in the previous dynasty.
Not to mention Yinghua, a mere princess, even his royal brother was gradually unable to cope with the situation.
"So, in the face of cruel reality, no matter how good your brothers and mothers are to you, they will sacrifice you without blinking an eye for the sake of their position."
That's what Yinghua is.
No matter how reluctant they were, the emperor's brother agreed and the queen mother nodded.
This marriage is now a done deal.
"It's a pity for a couple made in heaven. Yinghua, with the cowardice and incompetence of the Northern Kingdom, embarked on a journey from which there would be no return."
"And that scholar, for some unknown reason, gradually contracted an incurable disease, and died after being bedridden for four or five years."
Yue Niang couldn't help but turn sideways to face the man who had been silent next to her.
She didn't quite understand how this person could be so calm?
The person you like is married to another country.
He also experienced the misfortune of going from a favored child of heaven to a person with talent but unable to display it.
Why is he still silent, as if he is listening to someone else's story?
Even just now, when I met him at the Naihe Bridge, his tone was indifferent, not at all the dejected tone of someone who had died of illness.
"Excuse me, this third place winner you're talking about," probably struggling with how to start, "is it me?"
Huh? Didn't he hear it? It was so obvious. She knew it all, okay?
"You shouldn't be asking this even though you already know the answer."
Yue Niang asked about her doubts.
"Uh, I really don't know, but it feels familiar."
He was the top scholar in the imperial examination in the eleventh year of the Northern Kingdom.
However, perhaps because of his bad luck, he gradually became weaker soon after passing the imperial examination. He persisted for more than five years, but his body could no longer hold on.
That's why I came here today.
That's all he knew.
But I don’t remember any old acquaintance with this Princess Yinghua.
