Chapter 127. Narrative
"Ah Ran, why are you pretending to be Shen Fengyue? In fact, there is no such person as Shen Fengyue, is there? ”
In my impression, there was no surname Shen among the royal relatives and even the courtiers back then.
After thinking about it, I asked, "Why do you want the world to think you're ridiculous?" ”
He exhaled lightly and said, "A ridiculous emperor can do much more than Ming Jun. ”
"Huh? I don't understand......"
"If I don't pretend to be Shen Fengyue, how can I find you?"
"You're pretending to be Shen Fengyue to find me?"
I never thought it would be like this.
"You don't have to do it yourself! Why don't you send someone to find it? ”
As the king of a country, Ah Ran actually spent half of his reign looking for me in person!
I was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
He has spent so much effort trying to find me all these years, but I selfishly disrupted his plan back then!
"In the first few years of your disappearance, I did send someone to look for you.
In the fifth year, the man who sent out brought back a man, and said that it was you. That person looks the same as you, but when I came into contact with him, I knew that it wasn't you at all.
At that time, I realized that it was difficult for others to find you back, after all, you lived in the East Palace back then, and there were not many people who knew what you looked like......"
As he spoke, his eyes darkened.
"Besides, when my mother entrusted you to me, I sat alone on the dragon chair and had a bad conscience. That's why I made up my mind to go and find you myself.
At that time, I was not in charge of the government, so it was logical that I handed over the affairs of the state to the prime minister and sent people to spread rumors. I also kept the woman who looked like you and also pretended to be a man. ”
I was speechless when he said this.
Five years after I went missing...... That is to say, he left the government to look for me in person since he was fifteen years old, and it was at that time that I heard the news that the northern royal family had found the chosen son.
I know very well why he left the woman behind, and the reason why he will be counted is clear:
In doing so, he was able to attract the attention of those inside and outside the court who had always had ill intentions towards the Chosen One to the palace, and I would naturally be much safer when I was outcast......
Every step he took was thoughtful, and every step he took was to protect me.
......I held his hand, tears streaming down my cheeks.
His hand stiffened, but he let me hold it.
"As for those rumors, in addition to covering up the real reason why I have not been in court for a long time, it can also make Yue Xiongqi relax his vigilance against Beili."
I nodded, knowing full well that he was right.
"Since I mentioned it, I'll tell you about looking for you all these years.
Back then, with the help of Sheng Jingcheng's concealment, I finally found out that you were in Leng Yihan's hands, so I made a deal with him.
But I didn't want to go to prison before the deal was made, and the next day I heard the news that you fell off the cliff.
I was so anxious that I was completely confused and didn't know what to do. But I didn't expect your master Xiuli to send a message to me.
Actually, after you went missing, I asked him to help me keep an eye on your whereabouts.
But I didn't have much hope, after all, Xiuli is a person who can even look at his own life and death very lightly.
After he left, he was never heard from.
I suddenly received a letter from him at that juncture, and I thought he had saved you, but I didn't want him to say it in the letter...... Say you ......"
Speaking of which, his chest heaved terribly.
I know why. He must have learned of my death from Master.
Looking at him like this, I was so distressed that I couldn't imagine how he felt when he learned the news.
He took a deep breath and continued:
"He said that he cast a soul spell on you, temporarily sealed your soul and protected your body.
He guessed that I was going to want to take you back, so he wrote to him that your soul was very unstable, and that you could break the seal and enter reincarnation at any time. If that's the case, you're really ......"
He paused again, apparently unable to connect me to the word.
"And if your body is separated from Lingxiu Mountain, it can't be protected. So I have no choice but to let you stay there. ”
"And then?" I asked in a whisper.
"Then, two years later, one day, there was a sudden change in the secret room where your soul was sealed.
Xiuli went to check and watched your soul disappear.
But in an instant, your body reacts, and a soul attaches to it.
Xiu Li immediately used the soul control technique to probe the past life of the soul, and found that it was a ghost from another world. ”
"That soul is actually me who came back from another world?"
I was asking, but I was sure.
It's just that I didn't expect that the 30 years I have experienced in the 21st century will be in a blink of an eye.
"Not bad.
However, although Xiuli's soul control technique is powerful, it can only probe the previous life of the soul, and there is no way to know the previous experience.
So at that time, Xiuli couldn't tell if that soul was yours or not."
"Did Master guess that the soul that returned to the body might be me who came back after a trip in another world?"
"Well, he thought of it.
And he said that the souls who have been cast soul control will come back sooner or later. It's just that some will come back soon, and some will already be in the vicissitudes of life when they come back.
As for how to verify whether that soul has come back or not, Xiu Li didn't mention it, but just asked me to wait for news.
I thought I would have to wait a long time, but after only two months, Xiuli sent another letter, saying that I was sure that you were back.
I was worried that I would make a mistake in the middle of the same thing as last time, so I took care of the matter at hand and went to Shengjing City in person. ”
Hearing him say this, I frowned.
"Master, how did he know that the soul was mine?"
"He didn't say it, but people like him don't bother to lie at all, and there's no reason to do that, so I don't doubt it."
I nodded slowly, but my mind was spinning fast:
How exactly did Master recognize me? ……
Desperately recalling what happened in the first two months of my return:
I have been staying on Lingxiu Mountain for the past two months, and I have only had contact with Master and Ling Niankong, and my life could not be more ordinary. What exactly is he based on?
Two months...... Two months......
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind:
This time of two months was when I detoxified Ling Niankong, and then he realized that I was very different from Leng Qingqian!
Then I remembered that the Meng Zhisan in Ling Niankong's place wanted to be unraveled, and the person who had to be poisoned had sex with his sweetheart who had taken the antidote.
At that time, when I learned that Ling Niankong was poisoned and asked Master for the antidote, Master insisted that I couldn't cure his poison because I was not his sweetheart.
At that time, I didn't know that I was actually cold, but with the attitude of giving it a try, I successfully detoxified him.
At that time, I didn't think about why I was able to detoxify him even though I was not Leng Qingqian, but now I think of what happened before and know that I am Leng Qingqian, so it all makes sense!
Therefore, Master used Ling Niankong's poison to verify my identity!
Thinking about this, I felt a chill down my spine, it turned out that I had been kept in the dark!
It turns out that at that time, Master knew who I was!
However, after verifying my identity, Master did not tell Ling Niankong, which can be seen from what Ling Niankong did after bringing me back to Ling Mansion.
If Ling Niankong knew that I was just cold, he would definitely not treat me like that......
"What do you think?"
Seeing my shocked look, Ah Ran couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, I'm just wondering how Master recognized me."
I covered up my authenticity, not wanting Ah Ran to know about my detoxification for Ling Niankong.
If I let him know that I had an intimate relationship with Ling Niankong in a daze when I had forgotten about the past, he would probably go crazy with anger.
"So when you were in Yuqiong Mountain, you arranged for someone to assassinate Yue Xiongqi, and wanted to take me away while there was chaos, right?
It's just that you didn't expect the people from the Wind Shadow Building to come and kill me, right? But why did the Wind Shadow House kill me? ”
"The assassination of Yue Xiongqi was indeed arranged by me. You guessed right, to take you away.
As for why the Wind Shadow House wants to kill you...... Are there not many people in this world who want to kidnap you and kill you? ”
In this way, Fengying Lou has long known that I am Yan Zhaoran, so Xiao Jifeng, as the director, must also know about it......
I was still thinking about it, only to hear Ah Ran continue:
"It's just that I didn't expect that there would be branches on the day of the Shangyuan Festival."
"What happened?"
That night, Ling Niankong took advantage of Ah Ran's time to buy the candy man for me and knocked me unconscious and brought me back, I didn't know what happened to Ah Ran.
"At that time, when I saw him snatching you, I immediately sent someone to surround the Ling Mansion.
But just when I was about to ask him for someone, an urgent report came from the palace, saying that Yan Yufei colluded with the Taiwei and intended to usurp the throne while I was away. ”
My eyes widened. "Yu Fei? Sixth brother?! ”
"Not bad. At that time, I was not sure of winning.
If Yan Yufei really wins, he won't be able to spare my life.
If I take you back, I'll only take you in, so I'll have to go back alone first. ”
I couldn't hold my composure any longer, gasping for air.
At that time, Ah Ran encountered such a critical situation, and I didn't know anything!
"It's all gone." Ah Ran patted me on the shoulder.
"Then, what about Yu Fei?"
Yu Fei is only a year younger than me, and I have only seen his portrait and know very little about him.
Even to me, he was like a stranger.
"If you want to rebel, what will happen?" Ah Ran said in a deep voice: "If I don't do this, the one who dies will be me." ”
"yes, I know."
At the moment, two completely different values are refuting each other in my brain:
One voice is saying that the royal family has no brothers, while the other is criticizing the two of them for killing each other for the sake of power......
I shook my head to dispel the two voices, and listened to him continue:
"I returned to Jingshi to quell the rebellion, and I began to look for ways to help you remember the past.
For I know that by your nature, if you cannot remember those things, you will never go with me. Even if I forcibly take you away, I'm afraid you'll run away. ”
I bowed my head in embarrassment.
Ah Ran, he really knows me......
"Later, it was your master who told me that there was a secret passage at the bottom of the Jinshui River. In the dark passage, there is a flower that only exists in the underworld, and mortals will regain the memory of their previous life when they smell the smell of that flower. ”
Hearing this, the corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"So you sent someone to push me down the river?"
"Not bad." He graciously admitted.
After he said this, I finally figured out the ins and outs of everything.
But then I remembered that when the fragrance of the flowers on the other side first took effect, my memory was confused.
At that time, it seemed that there were more memories in front of my eyes than I remembered later.
I asked Ah Ran what was going on, and Ah Ran explained:
"According to Xiuli, the fragrance of the flowers on the other side can remind people of the memories of past lives, so what you see at first is much more than the memories of your previous two lives.
Because there are too many memories, there is confusion. That's why Xiuli himself came to perform spells on you.
He has resealed the memories except for your two lives, so that you can remember the past smoothly. ”
"I see...... So where is Master, now? ”
"Gone. Why, something asked him? ”
"Hmm. I think there's something strange about it.
It was before those memories were sealed that I saw some images.
Although it was too confusing to remember the specific situation, I saw Master in the picture of every life. I thought it was strange and wanted to ask him. ”
Ah Ran couldn't help frowning when he heard me say this, but he quickly stretched out again.
"You said it was confusing yourself, maybe you were wrong......"
"Maybe......" I smiled in relief. Now everything is clear. ”
Ah Ran, who hadn't looked at me for a long time, suddenly turned to me, looked into my eyes, and asked a question that I didn't know how to answer:
"Why did you go to Lok Ma Po back then? Why did it fall off a cliff? ”
