Chapter 151 That Night 6 Years Ago
Yi Qianhuan looked at the two children sleeping soundly on the soft couch and couldn't bear to wake them up: "Serve the meal first, and tell the governor that the two children are still resting. Please take Yubao back after dinner."
It just so happened that she still had a lot of questions about the reincarnation of the national god and wanted to ask Ji Chilian.
Arriving at the dining room, Yi Qianhuan and Ji Chilian who was waiting there sat down face to face in front of a table filled with delicious food.
Liuli was in charge of serving the dishes. For a moment, Yi Qianhuan and Ji Chilian did not speak.
Finally, it was Ji Chilian who broke the silence: "The test has just ended, and so far the third reincarnation of the national god has not appeared."
"The reincarnation of the national god is not like cabbage in the vegetable market. You can't get it just because you want it. Lord Governor, I don't know much about the national god. I would like to ask you, once you become the national god, what do you need to do?" What Yi Qianhuan is most worried about now is that once he becomes the national god, it means that Mo Bao will need to take on a lot of responsibilities.
"If you want to become a national god, you need to be the spiritual pillar of the people of Yunzhao. Not only does the national god need to pray for all the people of Yunzhao every day, but he also needs to give everything for the people. In the past, few of the reincarnations of national gods could live to a ripe old age. They were often placed in a commanding position and needed to be proficient in everything. They were even less likely to be selfish and even needed to be ready to give everything for the people at any time."
"In this situation, both the mind and the body have to bear tremendous pressure, so it is normal that they cannot live long. Lord Du, today's incident was purely accidental. I wonder if Lord Du can help Mo Bao get rid of his identity as the reincarnation of the national god? As long as Lord Du can point me out, I am willing to help Lord Du investigate the matter of stealing people's luck in Kyoto without any reward."
Yi Qianhuan initially wanted to repay the favor he owed Ji Chilian by investigating the matter.
But now that things have come to this, she didn't want to see Mo Bao being restrained all the time, so she took the initiative to propose other ideas to Ji Chilian.
Ji Chilian looked at Yi Qianhuan deeply and said, "To become a national god, you not only need to pass the test, but also need to make selfless contributions so that the people can believe in this. Therefore, if you don't want to become a national god, then the best way is to do nothing."
"What Du Gong means is that gods have their own way of living, and ordinary people have their own way of living. As long as we insist on living the way a normal person should, we don't have to worry?" Yi Qianhuan saw Ji Chilian nodded and felt that what the man said did make some sense.
"Just now, when Helian Ziyu was on his way back to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, some beggars who couldn't afford food asked him for help." Ji Chilian changed the subject.
"We also encountered them. However, Mo Bao saw that those beggars were all healthy young men, but their clothes were a little worse than those of ordinary people. He didn't want to believe that they were really beggars, so he didn't give them any copper coins."
Yi Qianhuan remembered very clearly that the men who stopped the carriage at that time were all well-proportioned. They did not look like they were too hungry to eat. Moreover, they had healthy limbs. Even if they did hard labor, they could still earn some money and did not have to rely on begging for a living.
"Could it be that Helian Ziyu gave copper coins to these beggars?" Yi Qianhuan guessed.
"Not just copper coins, but also small change. Young Master Helian is kind-hearted and feels sorry for the plight of these beggars. He even promised them that if they encounter any difficulties in the future, they can come to Marquis Pingyang's Mansion to ask him for help." After Ji Chilian finished speaking, he slowly continued to eat a bite of the stir-fried shredded vegetables.
"It looks like the next few days at Pingyang Marquis' Mansion will be very busy." Yi Qianhuan smiled, and sincerely felt that Helian Ziyu was naive.
Regardless of whether he is a national god or not, it does not stop Helian Ziyu from doing good deeds.
But there is a limit to doing good things. It is not about being without judgment. The main thing is to lend a helping hand immediately when someone asks for help.
"This situation has happened before. However, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion is wealthy and powerful. Since Young Master Helian dares to make a move, I think no one in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion cares about this small amount of money." Ji Chilian had an elegant and leisurely smile on his lips, only his eyes were filled with cold mist.
Yi Qianhuan heard the sarcasm in Ji Chilian's words and continued to eat, only to find that Ji Chilian had been looking at her.
In other words, Ji Chilian was always looking at her lips.
Ji Chilian didn't say a word, but the man's eyes were like a hot iron, sweeping across Yi Qianhuan's lips again and again, making Yi Qianhuan feel uncomfortable quickly.
There's something really wrong with this man's eyes.
"Why is the Governor staring at me?" Unable to bear Ji Chilian's gaze, Yi Qianhuan could hardly describe the feeling churning in his heart at this moment.
She seemed to be stared at by a wild beast.
This look immediately reminded her of the ridiculous night six years ago and the accident that happened on the houseboat that day.
Trying to carefully hide his thoughts, Yi Qianhuan heard Ji Chilian speak softly.
"I am thinking about what happened on the pleasure boat that day." Ji Chilian's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it was lazily and meaningful. "Many accidents happened that day. I think the Crown Prince's wife must have forgotten it very much."
After hearing this, Yi Qianhuan felt her lips becoming hot uncontrollably.
As if he hadn't heard Ji Chilian's hint, Yi Qianhuan said calmly, "A lot of accidents did happen that day."
"Yes, those accidents reminded me of the incident six years ago, when I was also attacked by ambush..."
"So, the accident that day was actually caused by someone wanting to target the Governor, which led to so many incidents?" Yi Qianhuan interrupted Ji Chilian, with a look of alienation in his eyes. "So, Mo Bao and I were implicated because of the Governor. In this case, please investigate the truth and give us a reasonable explanation."
Ji Chilian saw that Yi Qianhuan's eyes were filled with awe and realized that she didn't want to face that unexpected kiss at that time.
Or rather, she didn't want to face what happened that night six years ago.
"This Governor has investigated, but unfortunately found nothing. The reason why Princess Lianhe's pleasure boat collided with ours that day was all due to an accident. However, we were in such a hurry at the time that this Governor did not have the time to discuss the matter with the Crown Prince's wife."
"Sir Governor, what happened in the past is in the past. Since it was just an accident, don't take it too seriously. Otherwise, it will not be good for you." Yi Qianhuan was not only talking about what happened on the pleasure boat, but also about that night six years ago.
