Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Under Zhao Gou's questioning, Princess Roufu answered fluently. When talking about her pair of bound feet, Roufu explained embarrassedly that when she was a child, her mother, Concubine Xiao Wang, did not want her to suffer, so she bound her feet for a short time. Later, on the way to the Kingdom of Jin, she was very busy, so her bound feet became big feet.

In view of the fact that Roufu could affectionately call out Zhao Gou's childhood nickname and all the affairs of the Song Dynasty court, he happily acknowledged Roufu as his sister, canonized her as the Princess of Fuguo, and chose Gao Shirong, the defense historian of Yongzhou, as her son-in-law, gave her a dowry of 18,000 strings of cash, and chose an auspicious date for the wedding.

But Roufu has always been worried about her mother and many sisters. She can't forget Xu Huan, the Han Chinese who carefully planned her escape in Wuguo City, and Li Jingshan who was taken away to stop the Jin soldiers. One day, Roufu mentioned this matter to her ninth brother Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of Song, and hoped that Zhao Gou could ask the Jin Kingdom to let the Song court women spare the Song court women and let her mother and sisters return home.

Finally, he told Zhao Gou the reason why he was able to return to Lin'an, and asked Zhao Gou to negotiate with the Jin Kingdom to ask for Xu Huan and Li Jingshan. Zhao Gou agreed verbally, but in his heart he was perfunctory and sent people to investigate. However, he did not directly ask the Jin Kingdom to return the palace princess. It seemed that he had his own plans.

The Southern Song Dynasty was in power for only a few years, and the Jin Dynasty was powerful and well-entrenched, so it naturally returned empty-handed. Gao Shirong, the son-in-law of the emperor who was married to the defense historian of Yongzhou by Zhao Gou, happily married Ji Roufu.

After that, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou showed him more favor and rewarded him with as much as 479,000 strings of cash. His official positions were also continuously promoted until he was promoted to the commander of Changde Army.

Princess Roufu was in a delicate body and had not been pregnant for many years after her marriage. She admitted that she had injured herself in the Jin Kingdom and felt sorry for her husband Gao Shirong, so she asked her ninth brother to compensate him from time to time.

As the first Princess of Fuguo in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ji Roufu was not only loved by Emperor Gaozong of Song, but also extremely favored by her husband Gao Shirong. The two of them made great contributions to the Southern Song Dynasty together and had a very good reputation among the people.

It was not until the fifth year of Jianyan (1131) that it was changed to the first year of Shaoxing.

The Southern Song Dynasty negotiated peace with the Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty agreed to redivide the border and pay annual tribute and submit to the Jin Dynasty.

In the 1142th year of Shaoxing (), Concubine Wei returned to China. Besides herself, she was also escorted by the Jin general Wanyan Zongxian. The rest were the coffins of Huizong and the princesses who died in the disaster.

She was welcomed back to the Southern Song Dynasty with great fanfare by Emperor Gaozong of Song and moved into the Cining Palace in Lin'an Prefecture.

After learning from her son that Princess Roufu had returned to the Southern Song Dynasty more than ten years ago and was named Princess Fuguo, Wei, who had already been canonized as Empress Dowager Wei, changed her face drastically upon hearing this. She hurriedly found Zhao Gou and told him that Roufu had died in a Han family in Wuguo City more than ten years ago.

Zhao Gou sent people to investigate with doubt, but to no avail. He had to take Roufu to the cell for personal interrogation. During a series of interrogations, Princess Roufu told him everything that happened in the Kingdom of Jin, including the sheep-leading ceremony and the fact that she and her stepmother shared a husband. Zhao Gou slapped Roufu in the face with bloodshot eyes and then locked her up in the cell forever.

Everyone thought that the prison cell would be Roufu's destination in this life, but Empress Wei still refused to give up. She bribed many guards and palace maids who had served Roufu, and reported to Song Gaozong together. She also bluntly stated that Roufu was a fake princess, hoping that Roufu would be punished appropriately in order to face up to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Faced with the coercion of Empress Dowager Wei in front, pressure from court officials in the back, and the jokes of the Jin people, Song Gaozong thought for a long time, and then remembered what Roufu had said about Jingshan. He secretly sent people to investigate. After learning the final result, Song Gaozong had no choice but to define the real Princess Roufu as an impostor of the nun Jingshan, and dragged her to the East Market to be beheaded in public, demonstrating the integrity of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Roufu argued in vain. When she learned that her ninth brother had made up his mind to protect his mother, she no longer resisted and let the dirty water be thrown on her. Before she died, she made a wish, "If there is an afterlife, I hope to make the Song Dynasty prosperous again, and I hope to make the princess of the Song Dynasty clean..."

After Princess Roufu was beheaded in public, the most unfortunate person should be the prince consort Gao Shirong. First, he married Princess Roufu by imperial decree, and then because Princess Roufu was fake, he was stripped of his title of prince consort. Even the eunuch Feng Yi, who had testified that Princess Roufu was real, was implicated and sent to Zhaozhou for supervision.

In the past few years since Princess Roufu was beheaded, there have been strange stories about Concubine Wei among the people. It is rumored that during the Jin Dynasty, Concubine Wei was taken as a concubine by the Jin general Wanyan Zongxian, and Princess Roufu was also a concubine of Wanyan Zongxian during the Jin Dynasty.

Since Concubine Wei and Princess Roufu had once shared a husband, and Concubine Wei had given birth to two sons for Wanyan Zongxian, Wei, who had already been canonized as the Empress Dowager, was afraid that the secret would be exposed and affect the reputation of the empress dowager, so she lied that Princess Roufu had died long ago and secretly forged evidence. Song Gaozong killed Princess Roufu just to silence her and preserve Concubine Wei's reputation.

……

In fact, the memory disappeared when Roufu was beheaded. Her wish was very simple, not for herself but for the country. She wanted a prosperous Song Dynasty, a clean princess of Song Dynasty, and she wanted to live uprightly on this land.

After accepting the memory, Tinghe was bloodshot, angry and sad. Before the headache subsided, she cursed Song Huizong and Song Qinzong in her mind. After cursing, she felt unable to express her emotions and was too irritable to extricate herself.

System Lao Liu consoled him:

"Host, don't be angry. This dynasty is already riddled with problems. If it were another princess, she would not have escaped the same fate. Princess Roufu was killed by her trusted ninth brother in the end, but she had no complaints. Although we don't know what she was thinking, she had no complaints, only longing and praying for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. What we have to do is to protect Roufu from death without changing history, and protect her so that she can see the peace and prosperity of the country with her own eyes."

Ting He put away his anger after hearing this, and said with a click of his tongue:

"It's easy to keep Roufu alive without violating history, but how can we let Roufu see peace and prosperity without changing history? Can we let him see the peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty when Jin invaded? In my opinion, this mission is contradictory. It requires both, and more."

Lao Liu shook his head and explained:

"Didn't you notice that it wasn't a maid who made the wish this time, but the princess herself? She gave up half of her soul. Her soul has not been separated, and it is still intertwined with your soul in the body. The body you entered is the original owner, Princess Roufu. She gave up half of her soul power to repay the people who saved her, and to save the Song Dynasty from displacement and humiliation by the Jin Kingdom, and to allow all the princesses of the Song Dynasty to return to the Song Dynasty alive and clean."
