Chapter 877 Destiny cannot be violated
Xie Jingchi asked people to get some weapons and food, and before daybreak, he returned to Liangzhou with Shen Shuyi and others.
As soon as they left, the maid beside the Saint said angrily: "They are so arrogant! What do they think our Li clan is? They come and go as they please!"
The Saint covered her bleeding shoulder and sat down, smiling bitterly, "What do you think our Li clan is? If we are not strong, we will have to depend on others."
"I'll give them some Heartbreak Powder, and they won't come back!" The maid pretended to chase after them.
"Come back." The Saint said slowly: "It's useless. We can't go against fate."
If they had succeeded, Xie Jingchi would not have grown to the point where he is today. If they attacked the future emperor of the world, they would be doomed to suffer backlash.
"What... do you mean?" the maid couldn't help but ask.
The Saint shook her head: "Do as they say."

After returning to Liangzhou, Shen Shuyi immediately asked Mr. Liancheng to take Xie Jingchi's pulse.
Mr. Liancheng examined the patient several times but remained silent.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Mr. Liancheng looked at Xie Jingchi and said slowly, "Master Xie really doesn't know martial arts?"
"Yes." Xie Jingchi responded.
"This pulse is really strange. It looks like the patient has deep internal strength, but it is suppressed by something. It seems like poison, but not quite. I can't really tell." Lian Cheng frowned, feeling it was indeed a bit tricky.
"Let me go back and think about it carefully. However, you are weak and exhausted right now, and it seems that your vitality has been damaged. I will prescribe some medicine for you to strengthen your body and replenish your vitality. You can take two doses first."
"Thank you sir."
After seeing Mr. Liancheng off, Shen Shuyi still felt a little uneasy, so he touched his wrist again and took his pulse.
But her medical skills were not as good as Mr. Liancheng's, so naturally she couldn't come to any conclusion.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Shuyi stroked his forehead and felt relieved when he saw that it was not hot.
Xie Jingchi pulled her onto his lap, and held her in his arms. He rested his chin on her shoulder, lowered his eyes and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Huh?" Shen Shuyi turned and looked at him.
Xie Jingchi fell silent, not knowing how to start talking for a long time.
If I tell her that he is the Wolf King and that he actually knows martial arts, she will definitely be angry.
Xie Jingchi was a little annoyed. If she got angry and planned to go back to Beijing and ignored him, he was afraid he would not be able to leave.
It’s better to do it later, after the war with Yuan Xia is over.
"What do you want to say? Why are you so serious?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Let's talk about it after Yuan Xia withdraws its troops. Now... is not the right time." Xie Jingchi spoke in a deep voice, a little annoyed.
But fortunately, the poison in the body has been removed, so at least it is much safer.
"How did you get this poisonous insect? Do you have any recollection? Does anyone suspect you?" Shen Shuyi really couldn't understand why someone would attack Xie Jingchi?
If this matter is really related to Concubine Yao, how could Xie Jingchi, an orphan without a father or a mother, be related to a concubine in the palace?
Shen Shuyi thought about it carefully and remembered that she had sent someone to investigate Xie Jingchi's background.
His parents died early and perished in a flood when he was three years old. He was lucky enough to be rescued, but his life became difficult from then on.
Later, he was adopted by his uncle, an old scholar who had no wife or children and no official title. However, his uncle was kind to him and he even dreamed of becoming successful.
However, the year Xie Jingchi entered the school, his uncle froze to death outside due to being drunk.
At this point, Xie Jingchi became a complete orphan.
But why would such a person be bewitched when he was only a few years old or even younger?
Shen Shuyi just felt confused and felt that something was wrong.
She turned her head and her eyes fell on Xie Jingchi's face, somewhat doubting his background.
Did he not know his true identity? Or...did he fabricate his background to hide his true identity?
Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts and felt that his life experience of having both parents and all relatives dead was really strange.
This is often the case with people who are trying to hide something.
But when she thought back to her past life, it seemed that even after several years, she had not heard of anything strange about Xie Jingchi's identity. Instead, he did more and more shocking things, and his reputation grew.
Somehow, Shen Shu thought of Emperor Qianwu's favor towards him.
Emperor Qianwu had an erratic personality. Was it because he had no background and outstanding abilities that he was so favored by him, or was there some other hidden secret?
But if there is another hidden story, what could it be?
Somehow, Shen Shuyi suddenly remembered the King Zhao whom he had been looking for. Could it be him?
Unfortunately, he had never seen King Zhao in his previous life and did not know what he looked like.
But that doesn't make sense either. King Zhao is a martial arts expert, but Xie Jingchi has been poisoned by the golden silkworm Gu since he was young and doesn't know any martial arts. This doesn't seem to make sense.
Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and felt that things in the world were not so coincidental.
How could it be such a coincidence that he happened to be King Zhao...
Even so, Shen Shuyi couldn't help recalling past memories, such as the silence of Chai Zhi and his group, Qin Xin and Jian Po's familiarity with him, Emperor Qianwu's love for him, and the killing of the Canglang King of Wenren Sect by him...
The more Shen Shuyi thought about it, the more confused he became. If he thought about it carefully, many things seemed strange.
Did she think too much?
Xie Jingchi said nothing, knowing that she was already suspicious.
If her identity wasn't complicated and few people knew about it, perhaps she would have known it long ago.
"Yes, Concubine Yao." Xie Jingchi spoke slowly. He didn't want to hide it from her anymore. Otherwise, he was afraid that one day she would turn around and leave without hesitation when she knew the truth.
Thinking of this, Xie Jingchi felt irritated again.
He held her in his arms, as if afraid that she would run away.
Shen Shuyi frowned, slightly surprised. Is it really Concubine Yao?
"How did you get involved with her?" Shen Shuyi couldn't help but ask, is he really the King Zhao? Or is he inextricably linked to the King Zhao?
Anyone who could have a relationship with Concubine Yao must be someone in the harem, or an official in the imperial court, or someone related to the Li clan.
But Xie Jingchi does not meet these requirements.
How old was Xie Jingchi a dozen years ago? How could he be related to Concubine Yao?
"I'll tell you later. Don't worry, I will tell you everything." Xie Jingchi said softly. Now that the poison was solved, he felt relieved.
At least, it made him feel capable of protecting her.
However, at this point, he was worried that she would leave him after knowing it.
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. When you want to talk about it, just tell me." Shen Shuyi spoke softly, but couldn't control himself from thinking.
After a while, she sighed softly, leaned in Xie Jingchi's arms and closed her eyes.
This seemed to have become a habit. She couldn't control her mind at all. It would have been fine if she had never thought in this direction before, but now it was out of control. The more she thought about it, the more she found many things confusing.
