Chapter 49 Settle Accounts

As they talked, the sky gradually darkened.

Ji Yunxi knew her current identity. There were still her two elder brothers at home. If she returned too late, it might arouse suspicion.

Feng Xingzhi had been sitting beside her all the time and was reluctant to leave for even a moment.

After the three of them finished talking, the looks in Qing Xuan's and Lu Shu's eyes became rather meaningful.

Since Ji Yunxi had recalled everything, she naturally knew what kind of personalities these two had. She secretly poked Feng Xingzhi and said, "Get up quickly. I have to go back soon."

Feng Xingzhi was a bit reluctant. Even though he had made way, his eyes still lingered on her.

Ji Yunxi secretly made up her mind. It was so unfair to Feng Xingzhi that only she remembered those past events. He should also feel all the love that belonged to her for him.

Maybe then, he wouldn't be so restless as he was now.

Ji Yunxi got up, picked up Nian Yun and was about to go back.

Suddenly, Qing Xuan said, "Now that the master has retrieved her memories, will there still be the impact of spiritual power?"

Ji Yunxi suddenly remembered her previous headache and the poison, and also the abnormality of Ji Yuyan.

Maybe Ji Yuyan was definitely involved with this poison. And there was also the letter from Jiang Yaoji. One thing after another, how could she have been so blind to this ungrateful wretch in her previous life?

Ji Yunxi thought that it would be more convenient to use the power of the Dream Blossom Pavilion. It was originally an organization with extensive connections, so the investigation would surely be fast.

"A Shu, you go and investigate Ji Yuyan and the poison on me in person."

Hearing it was a serious matter, Lu Shu immediately put away his playful mood and looked solemn.

Feng Xingzhi added, "My men have investigated. That poison contains the black mandala from the Northern Di tribe. You can try to follow this lead."

Without a moment's delay, Lu Shu agreed and then turned around to leave.

Since Ji Yunxi was going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qing Xuan also hid back in the Sea of Gods. Only Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi were left walking slowly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two of them were no longer chatting and laughing like before. Instead, there was a silent understanding between them.

"Were your previous dreams about our past lives?" Feng Xingzhi thought for a long time and finally remembered the dreams that Ji Yunxi had mentioned to him before. In those dreams, his Xixi had never really married him.

Hearing this, Ji Yunxi nodded. "Yes, they were. Now I've remembered everything."

Feng Xingzhi stopped in his tracks, looking dejected. "But I..."

"It doesn't matter," Ji Yunxi interrupted him. "There's no need to rush. Take it slowly. I'll accompany you."

Ji Yunxi's consolation made Feng Xingzhi feel a bit better. He accompanied Ji Yunxi back to the mansion. Only under the murderous look of Ji Yuchen did Feng Xingzhi leave.

At night, a figure slipped through the layers of guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed straight for Ji Yunxi's small courtyard.

Ji Yunxi was sitting by the window, with Nian Yun that she had brought back beside her.

Lu Shu quietly appeared in front of Ji Yunxi and knelt on one knee. "Master, what I've found out is similar to what the secret guards you sent out found before. This poison does come from the Northern Di tribe, but the more detailed information seems to have been erased."

Ji Yunxi looked up. "If you don't want others to know, don't do it. As long as something has been done, there must be some clues. Take your time. There's no hurry."

Lu Shu nodded in agreement and then continued, "Master, as for Ji Yuyan, our people in the pavilion have been keeping an eye on her. She has been frequently traveling between the Ji Mansion and the villa on the outskirts of the western city recently. For the rest, we haven't found anything for the time being."

The villa on the outskirts of the western city, the Qiao family.

Ji Yunxi found it quite funny. In her previous life, Ji Yuyan had blood on her hands, but in this life, she had become filial?

She didn't believe it.

What charm could the Qiao family have that made Ji Yuyan always think about them?

Ji Yunxi didn't believe that Ji Yuyan, a person who put interests first, would always go to visit an aunt who was despised by others.

"Continue to send people to keep an eye on her." Ji Yunxi seemed to think of something. She waved to Lu Shu and whispered in his ear, "Go and do something for me..."

After hearing this, Lu Shu was a bit surprised. He stared at Ji Yunxi with wide eyes.

"Do you understand?"

Although Lu Shu was a bit reluctant, he still took the order and stepped back.

After Lu Shu left, Ji Yunxi stood up. She ran her hand over the scabbard of Nian Yun. Nian Yun let out a slight breath. In the moonlight, the sharpened sword glistened with a cold light.

She remembered her previous life.

On the day of the wedding, Ji Yuyan had pierced her body with a sword, but that sword wasn't Ji Yuyan's at all.

So there must be more to it behind Ji Yuyan. There must be someone guiding her.

Moreover, with Ji Yuyan's abilities, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing. She must have known that it wouldn't take long for others to find out that she had killed her. But how could Ji Yuyan avoid the counter - attacks from Ji Qilin, Ji Yuchen and Ji Yunyi?

It could only be that there was a more powerful person behind her.

If she hadn't regained her memories, Ji Yunxi wouldn't have understood. Now thinking about it, in every life, the name Jiang Yaoji would always appear beside her and Feng Xingzhi.

She had always been deeply in love with Feng Xingzhi and almost obsessively wanted to catch his eye.

But Feng Xingzhi had never given her the slightest bit of attention.

On the contrary, in every life, she herself didn't remember Feng Xingzhi, but he would always appear beside her.

He would clear the obstacles for her and solve all problems.

As long as it was something she, Ji Yunxi, wanted, Feng Xingzhi would try his best to get it for her.

This kind of preference was hard not to arouse hatred.

So the person behind Ji Yuyan was very likely to be Jiang Yaoji.

More details emerged in Ji Yunxi's memory. In her previous life, when she was about to marry Su Ningyuan, Ji Yuyan had forced a smile.

Her false flattery and distorting of the truth...

Ji Yunxi slammed Nian Yun down. Her eyes were filled with coldness, just like the cold winter in December, which made people feel afraid.

The hatred of her mother's murder by the Qiao family and the hatred of her own death by Ji Yuyan.

Ji Yunxi thought that she could take this opportunity to settle these scores all at once.

...

Chun Yuan had just served Ji Yunxi to take a bath and change clothes. Today, her mistress made her feel a bit scared, as if she was seeing a person who had experienced a lot.

Normally, she could still joke with the young lady a bit, but today she didn't dare.

After serving Ji Yunxi to lie down, she carried the water and walked out. Suddenly, she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the roof.

Chun Yuan was startled. The basin in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Miss!"

Chun Yuan lowered her voice and shouted. She quickly came to Ji Yunxi's side to protect her.

Ji Yunxi had already sat up. The sound of swords clashing could be heard outside the door. It was clear but full of killing intent.

"Bring my outer robe," Ji Yunxi said calmly.

Chun Yuan didn't dare to hesitate. She immediately picked up Ji Yunxi's outer robe and followed behind her to put it on for her.

And Ji Yunxi picked up Nian Yun beside her.

Maybe it sensed that there was going to be a fight. Nian Yun, which hadn't stretched its muscles for a long time, seemed very excited and trembled slightly in Ji Yunxi's hand.

Ji Yunxi put on her clothes and coiled up her hair with a wooden hairpin. "Chun Yuan, stay in the room and don't come out. Hide in the corner."

Chun Yuan wanted to stop her. Seeing this, Ji Yunxi smiled.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine."
