The woman felt rather embarrassed after being completely exonerated.
"Sorry. Maybe my words and deeds misled you."
Afraid that she might say something more, Li Jiuge immediately interrupted her. "Okay, we don't want to hear it. We're just passers - by who met by chance. There's no need to explain to us."
Saying so, she tugged at Feng Xingzhi's sleeve. "Cousin, let's go!"
But the woman was persistent. She quickly walked around them and spread out her arms. "Wait. I didn't do it on purpose. I'm a princess of Beidi. My name is Hua Siyun."
"Hua Siyun?" Hearing this name, Ji Yunxi was stunned for a moment and then murmured it again.
Seeing Ji Yunxi's stunned expression because of her identity, the woman was satisfied. After all, she was a princess.
Just then, a group of attendants rushed over from not far away. The leading maid led the others to kneel down. After getting up, she asked anxiously and timidly, "Your Highness, why did you come here? You scared this servant to death!"
Hua Siyun composed herself. "What's there to be scared of? Do you think I could disappear on the street?"
The maid didn't dare to say more and could only lower her head. "Your Highness is right."
Hua Siyun was a bit dissatisfied. She rolled her eyes, then changed her expression and said to Ji Yunxi with a smile, "Since they're here and you're about to leave, I won't bother you anymore. See you if we're fated."
Ji Yunxi, who had been silent before, now spoke up. "Okay. See you."
Li Jiuge was surprised. After the woman left, she patted Ji Yunxi on the shoulder. "Silly girl! Why see her again? We must never see this kind of person again!"
But Ji Yunxi shook her head, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Feng Xingzhi immediately noticed that something was wrong with her expression. "Xixi, what's wrong? Do you know this person?"
Ji Yunxi let out a small sigh. "This Hua Siyun might be related to me."
Before everyone could react, Lu Shu immediately thought of the time when Ji Yunxi made the Empress of Beidi force Sang Yuanyi to withdraw his troops with just a letter.
Moreover, after receiving the letter, the Empress of Beidi had been constantly trying to meet Ji Yunxi. She was extremely devout. Could they really be related?
This realization left Lu Shu stunned. He originally thought that Ji Yunxi, as the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's mansion, was a noble woman in Nanyan. But he didn't expect that this was just the most insignificant part of her long life.
Feng Xingzhi also realized something. "Xixi, did you have a past life in Beidi?"
"Yes. At that time, I wasn't called Ji Yunxi. I was called Hua Yunxi."
"Hua Yunxi?!" Lu Shu exclaimed. "You mean the previous Empress of Beidi?"
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows. "You know about it?"
"Of course. Although the master didn't take me with her back then, I was busy in the Dream Elegance Pavilion, so I naturally knew something about it."
Ji Yunyi was completely confused. What Empress? What Hua Yunxi? Wasn't it Ji Yunxi?
A creepy thought popped into his mind. Could it be that his sister had been possessed?
No wonder his sister had suddenly become unfriendly to Ji Yuyan, and her spiritual power had soared, and she had even become the master of the Dream Elegance Pavilion...
None of these things had anything to do with the original Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunyi stared at Ji Yunxi up and down, making her feel a chill down her back.
"Second brother, what are you doing?"
"Are you really my sister?"
His words made Ji Yunxi pause for a moment, and then she laughed. "Can't you recognize your own sister?!"
"Then you said you're Hua Yunxi and the master of the pavilion. You have to explain this clearly to me. Could it be that you've been... possessed?"
His words left everyone present stunned. They didn't know whether to call him naive or muddle - headed.
Ji Yunxi took several deep breaths and finally couldn't help but complain. "Ji Yunyi! I told you to read fewer of those messy storybooks in the capital! Possessed? You really have a wild imagination!"
"But, but..."
Ji Yunxi was helpless and decided to explain it clearly to her second brother.
"Lu Shu, tell him!"
Lu Shu smiled. "Young Master Ji, the master wasn't possessed. She just regained her memories."
"Memories?"
"That's right. People are reborn after death. After crossing the Naihe Bridge, they enter the next life. So the master wasn't possessed. She just remembered her past lives."
Ji Yunyi immediately understood this explanation and suddenly realized.
Ji Yunxi continued. "My memories haven't fully recovered yet, but I've remembered a lot. Back then, I was called Jiang Yunxi. I had a very high level of spiritual power. Later, I founded the Dream Elegance Pavilion, which specialized in selling rare treasures."
Remembering those days, Lu Shu's eyes showed nostalgia. "Yes. And at that time, the master created her own defense system for the Dream Elegance Pavilion. Its stores were all over the world. The guards who protected the treasures in the Dream Elegance Pavilion were called Dream Guardians. They all had very high levels of spiritual power."
Ji Yunyi was shocked and stared blankly.
Li Jiuge was rather curious. "Since Lu Shu is cousin's spiritual beast, it means..."
"That's right. The Dream Elegance Pavilion was founded by me and Xingzhi in our past lives."
"So you two have a past - life marriage? Oh my god! How romantic!"
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi suddenly gave a bitter smile. She turned to look at Feng Xingzhi. "Romantic... I died on the night of my wedding with Feng Xingzhi."
"What?!"
No one had expected such an ending, and they immediately fell silent.
The atmosphere became a bit stiff. Ji Yunxi smiled calmly. "After that, after several more lives, I became Hua Yunxi. At that time, I was just a princess of Beidi. After my father passed away, I became the Empress. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. I was poisoned and had to pass the throne to my younger sister, the current Empress, Hua Qi'an."
"So... Hua Siyun is your niece!" Ji Yunyi sorted out this relationship. Thinking of the arrogant woman just now, he almost burst out laughing. If she knew that Ji Yunxi was her aunt, wouldn't she be furious?
Ji Yunxi looked at her elder brother helplessly and found it quite amusing in her heart. "As for the Bamboo Meaning Tower, it was in a life after I died as the Empress."
Listening to Ji Yunxi's explanation, Feng Xingzhi felt bitter in his heart. He guessed that he must have accompanied Ji Yunxi through life after life, but without exception, she had died on their wedding day.
Feeling something strange on her hand, Ji Yunxi glanced at Feng Xingzhi and found that he was looking at her with heartache in his eyes.
"I don't even remember..."
"It doesn't matter."
Ji Yunyi let out a long sigh of relief. "I didn't expect my sister to be... such a powerful person. I really admire you!"
"Second brother, since I've already said so much, I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason I suddenly dislike Ji Yuyan is that I was reborn."
Ji Yunxi looked at everyone. "In my previous life, I died at the hands of Ji Yuyan. She killed me with her own hands."
Everyone's gazes instantly turned fierce.
"She had a sword in her hand in the previous life. This life, I originally wanted to get rid of her first to eliminate future troubles. But she was rescued by the Moon - watching Pavilion and is now missing. And that sword hasn't appeared either." Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was a bit worried.
"Ji Yuyan..." Ji Yunyi murmured this name. "I'll have her torn to pieces!"
