Often there are times when you want to fall asleep but you can't fall asleep, and I toss and turn for a long time and still don't feel sleepy at all. Thinking of something, Fu sat up again, and sure enough, he saw a wine jug on the table over there. Regardless of whether there was a combination of acacia medicine in the wine, a pot of belly quickly felt the stamina come up, and after lying down on the bed, he raised his wrist to look at the dotted beads.

Each bead of Xingyue Bodhi is covered with uniform black dots on the surface, which is compared to a star, and the concave circle in the middle is compared to the moon.

I whispered in my heart: Can you really bring me back to that lifetime of me? If I could, let me go back to my student days, because I'm going to reread history books.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep due to the effects of alcohol, but my prayer before falling asleep did not come true, and instead of retreating into the original time and space to look at my own memories, I entered a misty place, like a soul floating in a white mist.

It's a dream! Be aware of this fact.

Suddenly, a sigh came from nowhere, and I looked around, and a kind voice slowly sounded: "You are finally back again." "Is this talking to me? As soon as his mind turned, the voice sounded again: "There is no one else here, I am talking to you." And no one but you can see me. ”

Why? Who are you?

I couldn't speak in my dreams, but it seemed like I could hear them as long as I read them in my heart. It was an old voice, and he replied to me, "Because you broke the seal with blood, you have been here before, but you have lost your memory because you have gone to another life. ”

I don't understand his words, what did I use blood to break the seal, and when did I come? But he was right when he said that I would go to another life.

Who are you? I repeat the doubt.

The other party replied: "The choice you should make now is to go back to the previous era or stay." ”

Can I go back?

"You have three chances to see me after the seal is lifted, the first time you choose to leave the twenty-first century, and let me take you to any time and space where there is no sorrow, and blur your memories; This is the second time you come in, and you can still fulfill one of your wishes; And then the next time, that will be the last time. Have you figured it out? To go back or stay in this era? ”

He said he could fulfill a wish? Can you go back to my old days? The images of my parents flashed quickly in my mind, and I could reunite with them when I went back, and the sorrow about Lu Feng's death was also forgotten for many years due to the lack of memory, as long as I went back, I could live a new life.

But what about Ah Ping? Does my body mean death if I go back? Ah Ping was shouted out by me, how would he be grief-stricken when he came back and saw that I was inexplicably out of breath? That stupid boy fainted from exhaustion trying to find me, and my whereabouts were true, but what if it was death? Just thinking about it makes my heart tremble.

"Looks like you're having a hard time deciding." Cihe's voice rose again, and after a pause, he said, "Let me let you see the current situation of the two choices first." As soon as the words fell, the white fog in front of my eyes slowly dissipated, and then a scene appeared.

In just a split second, my emotions were stirred. It's Mom and Dad! Dad was learning to play Tai Chi with a group of old grandfathers at the gate of People's Park, and next to them there was a group of aunts who were practicing square dancing, and they recognized at a glance the mother who was standing in the back row and her hands and feet were not coordinated, her expression was very serious, and her eyes were watching the movements of the people next to her from time to time, trying her best to keep up.

This is not the scene I remember, they were not retired when Lu Feng had an accident that year, and they didn't have the spare time to do this. After six years of absence, there is no sadness on their faces, although their sideburns are white and their foreheads are wrinkled, they seem to be in good spirits.

At the end of the square dance, an aunt in a flower dress next to my mother asked, "Why didn't your daughter teach dance tonight?" ”

My mother said proudly: "My Xiaoyue led the team to participate in the dance competition. ”

The ears rumbled, and my mother said "my little moon"? Where did Satsuki come from? I'm gone. It can be seen that the mother took out her mobile phone and showed off: "Come, show you the video of Xiaoyue's dancing competition." "The camera flickered, and my perspective came to the back of my mother, just enough to see the picture in the phone, but it also shocked me in place.

Isn't the person in the national dance costume in the video exactly me? What's going on? Why am I still in that era? At this time, suddenly the scene went black, cutting off all the scenes. I was anxious to shout why it was gone, but in the next moment, the space slowly lit up again, and when I squinted, I found that it was no longer the original painting style, but had turned to the current era.

The person in the video is Ah Ping.

In the scorching sun, he knelt alone in front of a palace gate, his hands holding thorns high above his head, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were rolling. Is he pleading guilty to his grandfather? It was obvious that he had been lifting for a long time, and his hands were trembling, but his kneeling body was always straight as loose, and his clear black eyes were unyielding firm.

He did not hesitate to hide from the world for me, Li Dai Tao stiffened, if strictly investigated, he would be guilty of the crime of bullying the king. Whenever his grandfather was angry about it, he could be punished very severely. Even if he knew that he would not be anything, and he would inherit his grandfather's throne as Emperor Jianwen in the future, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw him kneeling under the scorching sun.

I felt that the black and white image disappeared in front of my eyes, and it changed back to its original foggy appearance. The voice sounded again: "Now that you've seen two life scenes, do you have a choice?" ”

I shook my fist and asked in my heart: Why is there another me next to my parents?

What do you mean? You may have a vague impression of anyone, but how can you be able to yourself?

"Then who do you think you are now?"

Now I ...... It's Xu Lan, wait a minute, Xu Lan?! My eyes widened in disbelief, it couldn't be!

Cihe's voice was close to his ear: "You've thought of it, haven't you?" Your soul has come to this time and squeezed her out, and she will naturally come to your time and become you. I told you about this when you first came, and your answer was, "That's fine, let her take you to your parents." And her originally weak soul has slowly recovered under advanced medicine, and your strong soul can completely replenish the qi deficiency of her body, so you two can complement each other. ”

Swap lives! I became Xu Lan, and Xu Lan became me, living a new life that deviated from each other's tracks.

I heard him urge again: "Hurry up, you will wake up in a while, and if you miss this opportunity, you can only wait for the next time." ”

Two choices, the present and the past, the scene of my parents and Ah Ping quickly flashed in my mind, and it seemed that I had no choice at all. It turns out that someone has replaced me in my own era, but the era that is not mine cannot live without me.

Needless to say, my choice is to stay.

"Are you sure?" I'm sure.

"Then you were originally here, it can't be counted as a condition, you can make a wish."

I calmly stared into the depths of the white mist, word by word: I want to read the history of the Ming Dynasty from the 28th year of Hongwu to Emperor Jianwen and then to Emperor Yongle, no matter how big or small.

"Is this a wish? Okay, but it probably won't work out as you want. ”

As soon as the words fell, the white mist condensed and transformed into an oversized book, which was written in simplified Chinese characters, and it didn't seem to me to be effortless at all. But when I saw the last line, I couldn't help but ask: why is this the only thing?

"There are not many records about Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di is usurping the dynasty and seizing the throne, how can he let the relevant historical facts of Emperor Jianwen be written in the book? However, based on your current situation, you might as well take a look at the history of Emperor Jianwen, which may be useful to you in the future. ”

I only saw half of the dense text, and my heart was as cold as ice.

Suddenly, the shadow of the book shattered, and I panicked and wanted to continue reading the rest of the words that I hadn't had time to read, but it was like glass crumbling and shattering in the air, and it turned invisible in an instant.

What happened?

"Someone is waking you up, you're going back, Ah Yue, you have to rely on yourself this time."

I heard this voice no more than just now, a bit like something stuck in my throat and I can't pronounce words clearly, the most direct reflection in my brain - who are you?

"Don't know who I am, just remember that you only have one chance left, next time...... It's the last choice. ”

There was a vague feeling that something was sinking, and at a certain moment, a light flashed in his mind, and his thoughts came out: What about Lu Feng? There was silence, and when I thought that my mind had been withdrawn and the person who happened was no longer there, I suddenly heard a very soft voice whispering: "Since it will happen to you in the same magnetic field, it can naturally be someone else." ”

I was shaken, and he meant...... Since I will exchange lives with Xu Lan, why can't Lu Feng?

So, is the current Zhu Di really Lu Feng?

No one answered me anymore, for my physical senses had already been perceived, and it was evident that an external force had been pushing me, forcibly waking me up from my drunken dream. Splitting headaches! It was like someone was taking an awl and knocking it, and it hurt me so much that I was delirious.

I vaguely saw a figure shaking in front of me, closed my eyes and opened them again, my vision was clearer, it was a girl dressed as a palace lady, her mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know what she was saying. After a while, her hearing gradually recovered, and she finally heard what she was saying: "Niangniang, wake up quickly, the emperor announced that you have passed, and my father-in-law has been waiting outside for half an hour." ”

I sat up with her support, and before I could answer, she took my coat and dressed it for me. I didn't want her to serve, but at this time my mental state was extremely poor, and I was very dizzy, I don't know if it was the sequelae of a hangover or because of that dream.

If it is a dream, then why do I have so many things related to history that come to mind clearly?

I was not allowed to think about it, Gong E helped me out of the dormitory, and I saw a man in Tsing Yi waiting outside the hall, pacing back and forth, very anxious. When he saw me come out, he greeted me, and his mouth was a sharp voice: "The imperial concubine, the slave has been waiting for you for a long time, come with our family." ”

It seems that this person is a eunuch, but in addition to his voice, which is no longer as strong as that of a man, his demeanor is not a girl. He walked a few steps to the door and turned around when he noticed that I hadn't followed, "Why didn't Niang Niang follow our family?" ”

I asked, "What is the matter with the emperor looking for me?" ”

"Oh, my mother, can the emperor tell us what the emperor is looking for you? At this time, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun didn't know what mistake he had made, and he knelt outside the emperor's Fengxian Palace, and it had been three hours, but the emperor had not called him to get up. ”

I was stunned when I heard this, didn't I see a scene of the modern era in a dream before, Ah Ping kneeling outside a certain temple gate, holding thorns high with both hands? Without thinking, he said, "Take me immediately." ”

Following the eunuch in Tsing Yi, he walked through several corridors all the way, and when he arrived at a certain place outside the court, he turned around and specially informed: "Niangniang, Fengxian Hall has arrived." "As soon as I walked into the arch, I saw the familiar back kneeling there, my first reaction was not to identify whether he was Ah Ping, his silhouette and figure could not be more familiar, and I could feel that there was no need to confirm it with my eyes closed; My first reaction was to look around the environment, and it was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream! I've never been to this place, and it's completely impossible to imagine it out of thin air.

The eunuch walked two steps to the closed door of the palace and saluted, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Steward, the imperial concubine has arrived. ”

I saw Ah Ping's back shaken, slowly turned his head, and when I saw that it was really me, panic flashed in my eyes, "Why are you here?" I didn't answer, and the eunuch replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, the emperor summoned Niangniang over." ”

"No!" Ah Ping was in a hurry, knelt down and moved towards the palace gate, shouting in his mouth: "Grandfather Huang, all the mistakes are Ping'er's fault, and it has nothing to do with Lan, please don't blame her." ”

At this moment, the door of the hall was opened from the inside, and an old eunuch who was also wearing a green robe but obviously had a much better texture of the robe, and looked to be fifty or sixty years old, walked out, his gaze calmly swept over Ah Ping on the ground and then fell to me, "Niangniang, the emperor let you in." After the words fell, he turned his eyes to Ah Ping and said: "Your Highness, the emperor said that if you disturb his tranquility again, you will be punished to go to Xishan for confinement, and no one is allowed to see you." ”

Ah Ping's body shook, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he was afraid of the threat, so he had to turn his head to look at me again, his eyes full of worry and fear. I knew what he was afraid of, and his grandfather couldn't do anything to him, but I was different. Before, I didn't understand why Ah Ping was so afraid of his grandfather, but now I understand, what he was really afraid of was that his grandfather raised his hand and waved a knife and killed me.

As I walked past him, I patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't worry, I can get out." ”

These words are not only to cheer him up, but also to me.

As soon as he entered the hall, the door was closed behind him, which also blocked Ah Ping's worried vision. Extremely similar to the scene I had seen when I first met his imperial grandfather, I saw a figure sitting faintly behind the screen, and I felt a chill hit me.

Walking around the screen, the dignified old man was sitting behind the table and reading the scrolls.

It was the old eunuch who reminded him: "Don't hurry up and salute the emperor." I woke up from my stunned stupor, and hurriedly stepped forward and bent my knees, "See the emperor." "I could feel the old eunuch on the side throwing a strange glance at me, but I didn't know anything about the etiquette and title of the court, and I didn't know if I was saluting at this time.

Finally, the person behind the table commanded without raising his head: "Excuse me." ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the front, the shock in my heart was clear only to me. This person has only met twice, this is the third time I have seen him, before this I was so suspicious of his identity, but I never thought that I was "lucky" to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty! His real name is Zhu Chongba, he was a cattle herder as a child, and later became a monk, but in the end he embarked on the imperial road and recaptured the Han dynasty from the Mongols.
