Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

Ji Chen froze for a moment, and then showed a rather helpless smile.

This is indeed different from what he thought at first.

He promised Su Mei to be a general, but now he can't just leave Gu Nianqing alone.If he had to choose between the general and Gu Nianqing, he would choose to save Gu Nianqing first, and then think about how to fulfill his agreement with Su Mei.

after all……

That is a living human life.

The Taoist didn't say it outright, but anyone could see it clearly.

Today the eldest princess dared to goug Gu Nianqing's eyes, and tomorrow she would kill Gu Nianqing.

This is a matter of course.

After all, that's how people are.

When you don't get any punishment for the wrong and bad things you do, and the victim will only beg for mercy in a low voice.

Pushing forward is just the norm.

After thinking for a while, Ji Chen said, "Master Dao, I hate their eldest princess and the king who doesn't care about anything. Obviously Nianqing is their relative, why are they so cruel to their relatives?"

"Because tiger poison does not eat its offspring, but people are not as good as animals." The Taoist priest touched his head, and he smiled and said: "I hate them too, if the highest position in this country is always controlled by them, then the Jiangzhi country will be destroyed." , I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time.”

Ji Chen lowered his head, the fire in his eyes flickered for a moment, and he obeyed and said what he wanted in his heart: "If you have to choose, I hope that the person who takes over the throne is Nian Qing."

The Taoist was stunned for a moment.

Then he thought of something, and he laughed out loud.

Patting Ji Chen on the shoulder, he lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your boy is right! We can support Nian Qing to become the new empress, then you stay By her side, can't you justifiably be your general?"

Ji Chen blinked, then shook his head vigorously. He said, "It takes strength to be a great general. If Nianqing is the empress, I have to make sure that I am strong enough. She is like my sister, and I can't let others bully her." She. So I can't rely on relationships to become a general, I still have to outdo everyone in an upright manner, and then go to this position."

The Taoist leader listened, and the joy in his heart became more and more.

He patted Ji Chen on the shoulder twice, and he said: "As expected, I am not mistaken, you are a good person! Let's just say that, even if there is something wrong with me, you have to help me Nian Qing has become the new empress! I can rest assured that you are by her side and protecting her."

Ji Chen shook his head.

He said firmly: "The Taoist priest is also together, let's protect her together, you can't have any problems."

The Taoist smiled and didn't answer his words.

Instead, they chatted with him about how to take Gu Nianqing away at night. When Ji Chen was interrupted by him, he forgot the original half-spoken topic.

According to the common thinking of the two of them, they both felt that Gu Nianqing would not get any medical treatment.So that afternoon, they went to the medical hall to buy medicine, and prepared gauze and disinfection tools. When the night was dark, Ji Chen sneaked into the palace with the Taoist priest.

They originally thought that by this time, Gu Nianqing should have gone back to her own room.

But what they didn't expect at all was that when they passed by the garden, they saw Gu Nianqing's small figure still staying at the position at noon.

She didn't leave, and even her movements didn't change much.

Ji Chen only felt a pain in his heart.

He rushed to the other party with the fastest speed, reached out and patted Gu Nianqing's shoulder, only then did he realize that the girl had already passed out without knowing when.

Hurriedly picking him up, Ji Chen followed the Taoist priest and left the palace again.

This back and forth went smoothly.

Much simpler than imagined.

After leaving the palace completely, the two of them took Gu Nianqing back to the small farmyard where they lived in the city during this time.

Putting the person on the bed, Ji Chen checked the situation, and the expression on his face suddenly became very ugly.He said: "Master Daoist, Nian Qing has a fever, it's very serious!"

Hearing what he said, the Taoist priest's face immediately changed.

Pulling Ji Chen away, he walked to Gu Nianqing's side, reached out and grabbed the other's hand, his eyes were full of nervousness and panic.

He wanted to heal Gu Nianqing, but his hands were shaking again and again.

In the end, Ji Chen patted him on the shoulder to calm him down, and then said seriously: "Don't worry, Daoist, I have studied medicine and know what to do in such a situation. You listen to me, she can still be saved now. questionable!"

The priest nodded frantically.

Then Ji Chen told him the treatment method, and he followed Ji Chen's explanation, and inserted the needles made of spiritual energy into Gu Nianqing's acupuncture points one by one.

The cultivation level of the Taoist priest is high enough, so the Taoist priest can use all the exercises that the mother-in-law taught Ji Chen normally.

After finishing the injection, the Taoist priest went to look at Gu Nianqing's face, and the pained expression on the little girl's face had calmed down a lot.The sound and frequency of panting also returned to normal, obviously their treatment had an effect.

Seeing this, the Taoist took a long breath.

As he relaxed, his eye sockets turned red.

Glancing at Ji Chen beside him, the Taoist moved his chapped lips.With a hoarse voice in his throat, he took the initiative to talk about his own past for the first time.

He said: "Ji Chen, I told you before that I stayed in their shit Jiangzhi country because of Nian Qing."

Ji Chen nodded, of course he remembered.

The Taoist sighed again.

Reaching out and touching Gu Nianqing's forehead, he made sure that the temperature had returned to normal, and then he continued: "Because she looks a lot like my daughter, really too much alike..."

Ji Chen was stunned: "Senior has a daughter?"

"There used to be, but it was a long time ago." The Taoist said: "At that time, I was still young, and I only pursued skills and cultivation all day long. I always feel that becoming the best in the world is the most important thing. Other than that, it doesn't matter whether it's my parents or my wife and children."

"Later, I practiced in seclusion for a long time. When I left the seclusion, I thought my wife would come to pick me up. Unexpectedly, when I went home, I found my daughter lying on the bed dying. The wife said she was sick and that she was not sick. There is no way, and there is no money for medical treatment.”

"I took my daughter to seek a miracle doctor, but she left on the way."

"My wife couldn't stand the blow, so she slapped me and jumped off the cliff."

"I hugged my daughter and spent a long time finding her body. I guarded both of them until they were all bones. I finally realized that they were really gone."

"Bury them, and I will become a Taoist priest."

At this point, he paused, and continued: "I have been a Taoist priest for hundreds of years, and I thought I had escaped from the mundane world. But when I saw Nian Qing, I realized that I overestimated myself. Maybe it is true for me. For me, this is the karma I owe, give me retribution..."
