Zhang Weizhao sent everyone away in the Kunning Palace and sat in front of the window.

Although her body sat motionless, her heart was swept by the wind and turned upside down.

In fact, Zhang Rongkun, the Empress Dowager and Chen Jianjun had all guessed that she was a person with a "background", but out of awe of the gods and ghosts, they did not delve into this "origin", but accepted what Zhang Weizhao said, he had been taught by a monk from the Western Regions in his childhood, and learned a lot of explanations of strange skills.

In this era, information is not developed, and people are closed to news, so they still have many fantasies about "exotic" and "strange people", so Zhang Weizhao's rhetoric is still relatively acceptable.

But this set of rhetoric can deal with others, but not Chen Youcong. He is a person who gets along with Zhang Weizhao day and night and shares weal and woe. Zhang Weizhao's big secret is like their "elephant in the room", the elephant has always been there, but at first they deceived themselves and pretended that this behemoth did not exist, but now Chen Youcong refuses to remain silent.

Zhang Weizhao understands Chen Youcong's feelings. The harm caused by such close people keeping secrets from each other on the fundamental question of "where did it come from" is very direct.

Zhang Weizhao knows exactly who Chen Youcong's parents and grandparents are, how he was born and grew up, what his pains and dreams are, and many, many small details of his daily life.

But Zhang Weizhao's parents and family, her birth and growth, Chen Youcong didn't know anything. All he knew was Zhang Weizhao's various experiences after he studied under Zhang Rongkun.

If Chen Youcong only regards Zhang Weizhao as his senior concubine, then as long as Zhang Weizhao is innocent and safe, and can obey him and please him, Zhang Weizhao's own various circumstances and thoughts can be ignored.

But Chen Youcong regards Zhang Weizhao as his only partner in this life, what he wants is mutual trust, mutual support, and the same heart. Therefore, Zhang Weizhao's concealment is a pain that is difficult to ignore for him.

However, do you really want to answer Chen Youcong's questions one by one?

Thinking of this, Zhang Weizhao's heart tightened again. This is an era of reverence for ghosts and gods, and Chen Youcong grew up under the immersion of this cultural atmosphere. Moreover, the Confucian education he received was "Zi Bu Zhi Strange Power Chaos", that is, to respect ghosts and gods, not to discuss, not to contaminate, and Zhang Weizhao is precisely a strange force and chaos. If he knew that she was just a ghost who had broken into this world for unknown reasons, would he still be so willing to get close to her? If he becomes more and more estranged from her, will he finally be unable to tolerate her existence and want to get rid of her?

As a psychiatrist, Zhang Weizhao has full insight into the complexity and changeability of human nature. People have strong fears and resistance to people and things that they don't understand, and under the control of these emotions, people will do many extreme things. For example, the Europeans killed the natives when they first arrived on the American continent, because they did not treat these people as human beings who had a completely different way of life from their own. Another example is the witch burning movement in the European Middle Ages, because they did not understand the knowledge system of witchcraft, so they were very afraid.

Although Zhang Weizhao is convinced that Chen Youcong is a kind and tolerant person, she is still not sure what Chen Youcong's reaction will be when she learns her true origins.

After all, in Zhang Weizhao's cognition, many injuries are carried out in the name of maintaining kindness and justice. In her last life, she was burned as a heretic, and those who burned her did not feel that they had done anything bad, but that they had maintained the dignity of the gods and the purity of morality.

Zhang Weizhao imagined all kinds of possibilities after she confided the truth to Chen Youcong. The best one is that Chen Youcong is able to understand and accept her unusual experience, and share the experience and knowledge that Zhang Weizhao brought from her previous life; Secondly, he can't understand it, but he can accept it, just listen to a big dream, after listening to it, what should he do; Again, he will resist and reject, distance himself from Zhang Weizhao, and confiner or expel her; In the worst case, he will fear and hate, and he will endure the pain to eliminate heresy.

Zhang Weizhao tried to give a rational assessment, and the probability of these situations is a few percent. However, she found that she couldn't be rational, and she felt like a knife when she thought that Chen Youcong would treat her coldly, or hate and fear.

Zhang Weizhao sat in Kunning Palace from afternoon to evening, constantly thinking about it in his head. Under the repeated urging of Eucommia and Mint, I finally ate something and began to sit back in a daze.

Du Zhong didn't know what was going on between the emperor and the queen, and they didn't dare to say much, so they just waited quietly outside.

The more Zhang Weizhao thought about it, the more confused she felt, and she knew that she had entered a misunderstanding. Well, since her brain can't tell her what is the best choice, let's see which way your heart is pointing.

She stood up, walked to the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, closed her eyes, and began to count her breaths in silence. As she anchored her attention to her breathing, the other chaotic thoughts silently dissipated, leaving a clear heart.

When those worries and fears ebbed, a thought rose from the depths of Zhang Weizhao's heart, becoming more and more distinct: she wanted to reveal everything about herself to Chen Youcong, no matter what the outcome was!

Admittedly, this is a risky move. However, since she was parachuted into Dayan, Zhang Weizhao has experienced many risks, and every time she has never flinched, but has risen to the challenge, relying on her own courage and strength to resolve the crisis and survive.

She didn't believe in destiny, and she wasn't sure she would win. She just has a love of adventure and the spirit of not admitting defeat by nature, and it is difficult to tolerate groveling and stealing a living.

The reason why she has so much hesitation and fear this time is because she doesn't want to lose Chen Youcong. Before she knew it, she was already connected to Chen Youcong by blood, and if she was alienated because of this incident and torn each other apart, both sides would be blurred.

However, there are some things that cannot be escaped. No matter how much fear there is, what should come will come. Instead of swaying and letting the relationship gradually die in doubt, it is better to face it calmly, and bear whatever consequences there are in the future!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Weizhao opened his eyes, turned around, no longer hesitated, and walked straight out. The sound of her pushing the door woke up Mint and Nanxing, who were napping on the porch pillar outside the door, and the two of them saw Zhang Weizhao walking straight forward without looking back, and hurriedly followed: "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”

"Qianqing Palace." Zhang Weizhao said simply and clearly.

Hearing that they were going to the Qianqing Palace, Mint and Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, stopped talking, and only followed behind.

I just walked to the middle of the courtyard, but I saw a meteor striding in outside the courtyard gate, and the first one was Chen Youcong.

Zhang Weizhao's footsteps slowed down and stopped in the middle of the courtyard, but Chen Youcong's footsteps became faster and faster, and he walked in front of Zhang Weizhao in a few steps.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Weizhao could see that there seemed to be starlight flickering in Chen Youcong's pupils.

"You ......"

"I ......"

Chen Youcong and Zhang Weizhao spoke at the same time, but they stopped their voices at the same time.

The surrounding retinue quietly dispersed.

In the end, it was Chen Youcong who opened his mouth first, he held Zhang Weizhao's arms with both hands and said: "I came to tell you, you don't have to say what you don't want to say!" It's my fault, I shouldn't have forced you to speak. If one day, you want to tell me, I will listen to you. But if you don't want to speak, don't force yourself. Even if you don't want to talk about it in your life, it doesn't matter. None of this will damage the friendship between you and me in the slightest! ”

Zhang Weizhao approached, hugged Chen Youcong's waist, rested his head on his shoulder, closed his eyes, and hid the wetness in his eyes.

After only a short pause, she raised her head, let go of Chen Youcong's waist, and instead took one of his hands and said to Chen Youcong: "Follow me!" ”

When the two came to the hall, Zhang Weizhao ordered people to light the lamps and candles, prepare tea and snacks, and bring special hard paper and charcoal, and she was ready to talk with Chen Youcong at night.

After this night, life or death, whatever it is!

Seeing Zhang Weizhao's solemn appearance, Chen Youcong couldn't help but straighten his back and sit down, he knew that what Zhang Weizhao was going to say was extraordinary, so he folded up and prepared with all his spirits.

Zhang Weizhao sat on the other side of several cases, not knowing where to start for a while. simply didn't think about it, and made his debut:

"I'm from another world, and I'm not from this world."

Chen Youcong's eyes widened and he looked at her without blinking.

Zhang Weizhao also held his breath and looked at Chen Youcong.

After a moment, Chen Youcong high-fived and said, "That's right!" I guessed right! You're an immortal to the mortal world, aren't you? As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Weizhao with starry eyes.

Since Chen Youcong ascended the throne, he has worked hard to put on a serious attitude, and his words and deeds are very steady. At this time, he suddenly looked like a little fan brother, and Zhang Weizhao was also speechless.

She thought for a moment and explained, "I'm not an immortal, and I'm not from the fairy world. You know that Buddhism says that there are 3,000 worlds, and this universe is originally made up of different worlds. I come from a different world than Da Yan. ”

Zhang Weizhao can't say that I come from your afterlife, because Da Yan does not exist in the timeline that Zhang Weizhao knows. The time and space where Great Yan exists should belong to the same time tree as Zhang Weizhao's original time and space, but belong to different branches. It seems more appropriate to say that parallel time and space, but Chen Youcong probably doesn't understand what parallel time and space is, so Zhang Weizhao uses the three thousand worlds of Buddhism to talk about things.

Chen Youcong blinked his eyes, digested the message sent by Zhang Weizhao, and then asked, "What was your original world like?" How did you get to Dayan? ”

Zhang Weizhao knew that the most critical question had arrived, and in which direction the situation would develop, just look at Chen Youcong's attitude after she answered this question.

She took a deep breath and said, "I'll tell you what my world looks like slowly." I came to Dayan because I was burned to death, and after I died, I found myself alive in the body of an orphan girl here in Dayan. ”
