〖Original text of the hexagram〗

Gan: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen. "Da Tongshun, Divination is beneficial."

〖Translation〗

Tian: Yuanshi, prosperity, harmony, integrity.

Plain language: The way of heaven runs over and over again, never ending, and no one can stop it. A gentleman should follow the way of heaven, be self-reliant and strive continuously.

However, the sunlight did not dispel anything.

For example, the haze shrouded in Xie Changyan's heart.

She sat on the steps outside the Zhiming Hall, looking at her medicine-laid wrists under the bright sun in September, her long eyelashes drooping down, covering her eyes.

Since Zhanghua appeared and the six armies surrendered, Xie Fanyi and the eldest princess were both captured, the rebellion in Taohe Villa was completely quelled.

She followed everyone back to the palace. Zhanghua immediately ordered someone to take Xie Fanyi, Xie Zhixing and the eldest princess into Zhiming Palace. No one came to guide her what to do, so Xie Changyan sat outside the hall.

She was a little dizzy, a little hungry, and very thirsty in the sun.

Suddenly, a tray was handed to her, with a glass of water on it.

Xie Changyan looked up and the person who came was actually happy.

Ruyi also had gauze wrapped around her hands and a palm print on her face, looking even more embarrassed than hers.

Xie Changyan took the water and asked curiously: "How did you hurt?"

Ruyi stared at her: "For you."

Xie Changyan was choked by the water and started coughing. Then he remembered that before she was captured by Xie Fanyi, she asked Meng Bu to leave to catch Ruyi. Could it be...

Ruyi sat down beside her, touching the wound, and couldn't help but grin.

Xie Changyan turned his face, looked at the bruised palm prints on Xiumei's little face, and sighed: "Brother Meng has always been very sensible. He knows that you value this face the most, why do you still hit it here?"

Ruyi was silent, but she just looked at her quietly.

Xie Changyan suddenly realized it, grabbed his hand and turned it to the palm of his hand, and saw the cocoon on it: "You are not Ruyi! You are auspicious?!"

The boy in front of him nodded, smiled, and showed a little shyness - it was a relatively introverted auspiciousness.

"It's you all the time?"

Jixiang nodded again.

"That so-called betrayal is also fake?" In fact, when he asked, he had an answer. Everyone knew that Ruyi was a fool, and he was a funny toy around King Yan, and he also knew many secrets of King Yan. So he fell into Xie Fanyi's hands and could survive as long as he was willing to betray him. Auspiciousness is different. Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also alert. Such a person dare not use it even if he surrenders.

Therefore, after falling into the water, Jixiang immediately changed Ruyi's token and was caught by the sailors. Then, he pretended to be a cowardly and incompetent Ruyi and was sent back to Yan Palace, becoming a ornament that proved that "Xie Zhixing is Zhanghua".

Therefore, many news from the palace was conveyed to Feng Xiaoya outside through his hands, and eventually joined Zhanghuali to win the game.

After Xie Changyan figured out this, his first reaction was: "What about the real Ruyi?"

The auspicious expression suddenly became indescribable sadness.

True wishes...

That day, Jixiang saved Xie Changyan from Weng's hand. Ruyi immediately rushed onto the red boat with tears and laughter, hugging Jixiang and said, "Brother, brother! You are not dead! I thought you were drowned..."

"You really don't know me!"

"I also vaguely remember that you seemed to have learned water, but Your Majesty said you don't know how to water, so I believed it..."

"He doesn't say that, can this old witch feel assured that I can jump into the sea without any precaution?" Jixiang broke free from Ruyi's arms in disgust. Ruyi grinned, but her mood was very good.

However, Jixiang could not untie Xie Changyan's acupoints. Xie Changyan winked at them desperately and made a wink. Ruyi saw it and smiled and joked: "Your Majesty, is she having epilepsy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhanghua suddenly shouted "Not good", and then the red boat exploded-

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, huge waves rose everywhere, and a large vortex appeared on the sea, swallowing the surrounding ships together.

Jixiang rushed over and hugged his brother who could not swim, and the two fell into the sea together.

Jixiang swam out desperately with Ruyi in his arms, trying to get out of the vortex. Ruyi was so scared that her face turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "What, what's going on?"

Before he finished speaking, he drank several mouthfuls of sea water and started coughing continuously.

"Don't be afraid, do what I said!" Jixiang calmed down in the face of danger, grabbed a broken board, grabbed Ruyi, and then took him to continue swimming.

Ruyi grabbed the broken wood and never dared to speak again. Jixiang let him inhale and let him exhale, and he cooperated with him. However, human power was too small before such a huge force. Although Jixiang tried hard to draw, he dragged a big burden, and had to avoid the broken wood fragments that splashed from time to time, it was getting slower and slower.

At this time, a piece of broken wood flew over and stabbed Ruyi's back "puff". He froze and opened his eyes wide.

Jixiang didn't notice it, so he continued to pull the floating board and swam and said, "Don't be afraid! Hold on! Our boat is ahead, and they will come to save us!"

"I, I..." Ruyi's voice trembled very hard, "I'm not afraid!"

However, the Yan Kingdom warship within sight not only did not come to save people, but turned around and stayed away.

Jixiang noticed this change and felt a slump in his heart.

Ruyi lay on the floating board and asked weakly: "Brother, how long will it take?"

"It's almost done! Hold on!"

"Your Majesty, where is he?"

"Your Majesty will be fine, I will come to save you later!"

"That's good. But I'm so cold..." Ruyi's voice became lighter and lighter. Jixiang finally realized something was wrong. He turned his head to look and found that a piece of broken wood had just pierced into Ruyi's heart. He didn't know how long the blood had been shed, and the wooden board under him was scarlet.

Jixiang stared at this scene blankly, for a moment, unable to speak.

Ruyi opened her eyes and looked at him in a daze: "What, why don't you swim anymore? Hurry up... I, I'm so worried about Your Majesty..."

"Yes." Jixiang wiped his face, wiped off the cold sea water and tears, and turned around and grabbed the floating board to continue swimming.

"Brother..." Ruyi called him softly, not so much as the voice of a eunuch slave, but rather as the voice of a young man who had not changed his voice.

Jixiang wiped his face again: "I'm here."

"Your Majesty will be fine, right?"

"It's definitely okay!"

"Then... Xie Changyan will be fine, right?"

"It's fine!"

"That's good. If something happens to Xie Changyan, there will be no one around His Majesty..."

"And we are there!"

Ruyi and Ru Meng woke up and laughed: "Ah yes, there's me... I'm going to be with His Majesty forever..."

"Um!"

"In the next life..." He said in a very gentle voice, "In the next life, I will be the young master of a wealthy family, and appear in front of His Majesty with great aura like that Xue Cai... How are you saying it, auspicious?"

"good!"

"We will reincarnate together in the next life, brother..."

"good……"

The sound of water is messy and the sea breeze is faint, but there is no sound behind you.

Jixiang finally couldn't bear it and started crying.

He has always been strong. When he was sold to the palace and waited for purging himself, Ruyi cried and shouted, but he was always calm by his side. For seven years, he has been following the King of Yan and being taught by him, and has become more and more unsuspecting to deal with things. He worked so hard. Because he knew that his brother was talented and was afraid that His Majesty would be dissatisfied, he could only work harder. If King of Yan always valued him, he would probably leave his brother a place.

He did it.

The King of Yan despises their brothers very much.

Jixiang knew very well in his heart that His Majesty really appreciated his wit and calmness, but he liked Ruyi's innocence and liveliness more. Ruyi, from a certain perspective, was more like His Majesty's butterfly, living sweet and brilliantly.

Now, he finally flew away like a butterfly.

Jixiang took a deep breath and turned around to hug Ruyi. Ruyi's expression was very calm, with her eyes closed, as if she was just lying on the floating board and falling asleep.

Jixiang gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, and slowly pulled away the floating board under him...

"...I took my brother's token with me and let go of his hand. He sank... At that time, the boat was still burning and the sea water was very hot. I swam a lot, but fortunately I found a floating wooden barrel and climbed in. After about an hour, a small boat came to catch the body and took me away..." Jixiang's voice was very calm. Like Zhanghua, he was also a person who was not used to expressing his emotions.

But Xie Changyan was so cruel that she burst into tears by such a calm tone. She never expected that the true Ruyi would be gone!

A sentence of Ruyi echoed in his ears, and he said, "This, in the past two years, many people have left. The Supreme Emperor has left, you have left, Mr. He has left, and the Grand Tutor has also left... There are no one around His Majesty... No matter what, Jixiang and I will eventually be by His Majesty!"

Xie Changyan's nose felt sore, and he looked down at his swollen wrists. If it weren't for Xie Fanyi and Xie Zhixing, she wouldn't have encountered such a thing. If it weren't for saving her, His Majesty and Ruyi wouldn't have to come to Changdao Strait, Ruyi wouldn't have died.

If you look at cause and effect carefully, it will eventually be the sin of the Xie family.

The haze that enveloped Xie Changyan's heart became heavier and heavier at this point.

Both of them were silent for a long time.

In the end, Jixiang adjusted his emotions first and changed the topic: "Why didn't you go into the palace?"

Xie Changyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Will you go into the palace to see Xie Fanyi interrogate?"

"Don't you want to know the whole story? Don't you want to know the reason why Xie Fanyi was planning to rebel?"
