Chapter 360: I've Already Died Once (One Update)
"Lord Wang, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
Zhao Chengyuan said, "Faith."
I didn't believe it before, but now I do.
Han Youning asked again, "Do you have any speculation between me and the crown prince?"
Zhao Chengyuan's hand paused, and he put the hairpin on the small cupboard next to the bed, and his tone was calm, "There are some. Everyone has a past that cannot be talked about, and if you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it."
Han Youning shook his head, "I don't want to hide it from you, I used to be happy with him, I used to think that he was the best man in the world, and I married him for three years. Lord, I'm not the innocent little girl I was back then, I've already died once."
Pain flashed in Zhao Chengyuan's eyes.
He had already guessed, but he never dared to face his guess. He couldn't accept that his cherished little girl had already experienced life and death, and he didn't know what he was doing, why he wasn't by her side.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him, she looked resolute, she didn't talk about her suffering, only said that she had been married and died once. I said what I was most afraid of facing first, waiting for his reaction, and it seemed that I was waiting for the judgment of fate.
He sat down beside her, took her in his arms, and said in a low tone, for fear of scaring her, and retracted himself back into his shell, "Silly girl, you have so many flaws, I have already guessed it."
She didn't know that the prophet found Huo Shan for help, predicted the movement of the ground, the collapse when she drank the bamboo wine, and the prince also drank the bamboo wine, the big red in the small courtyard of the prince's mansion, the ritual that changed her life in the small courtyard, and the sorrow that was so rich that she could not be dissolved. And she was fine a month before the annihilation, innocent and lively, and the biggest worry was why the fairy brother didn't come to Cangyuan Mountain. The Buddha said reincarnation, but he didn't believe in it originally. But the only thing that can explain this is that she has been through a lifetime.
Han Youning looked up in surprise, "I died once, and the prince guessed it?"
Zhao Chengyuan sighed lowly, "I roughly guessed it, but I don't dare to believe it."
Han Youning didn't expect him to be so calm.
She asked, "Isn't the prince afraid that I'm a ghost?"
Zhao Chengyuan suppressed the pain that welled up in his heart, and said quite easily, "The world is hell, ghosts are rampant, I'm afraid of what you little girl will do?" What's more, what you are alive is just one more walk in the world, and you are lost, how can you be a ghost?"
Han Youning breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I also don't think I'm a ghost, I'm not afraid of light, I'm not afraid of peace charms, I'm not afraid of Master Qingde chanting the Buddha's name, I also secretly smeared myself with dog blood, and it's ......fine."
Zhao Chengyuan was afraid for a while, this little girl was too ruthless to herself, in case it was a ghost, wouldn't she have wiped herself out?
How frightened should she be when she endured this alone? And he was by her side, but he didn't know that she was still suffering from these torments in her heart.
He held her in his arms, "Silly girl, don't do such stupid things in the future, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a ghost, the important thing is that you are still alive."
Han Youning hummed softly, and his expression relaxed a little. He was not frightened into fleeing, and she let go of her thoughts. As for the matter of the crown prince, he doesn't seem to have any extra emotions.
Zhao Chengyuan asked, "Tell me, at what age did you die and be reborn, and why did you die?"
What did she go through to make Zhao Chen change her life for her?
Han Youning said calmly, "When I was twenty years old, I was strangled by my second sister hanging on a beam. In that small courtyard, she is the crown princess, and I am the side concubine. Likely, she's afraid I'll rob her of her position as the future queen."
Zhao Chengyuan's heart was twitched hard, his throat tightened, and he said hoarsely, "Strangulation? What about the prince?"
Han Youning was silent for a moment, "The palace changed that day, and the crown prince was not in the mansion. But if he's here, I'm not sure he'll save me. I was detained there by him, and he hated me so much, and I asked him for help when I was poisoned, and he didn't believe me, and then I couldn't see it."
Zhao Chengyuan's eyes sank, and the cold air was pressing.
His cherished little girl, who grew up pampered since she was a child, was treated like this when she arrived at the Prince's Mansion! Side room, detained, poisoned blind, suspended beam!
He ignored the palace change, and only thought about the suffering of her little girl. Three years, she
How did you get through it?
He suppressed his anger, "What about Dingguo Gong, where did he go?"
"Dead."
"What about the son?"
"Dead too."
Zhao Chengyuan closed his eyes, "What about me? Why didn't I protect you?"
Han Yu said quietly, "I don't know the prince, but when I married into the prince's mansion and confessed my marriage, the prince gave me the emerald stone. Recently, I learned that the wine between me and the prince was prepared by the prince, and it was the bamboo wine. And when I died, I seemed to see the prince, no, I was blind, I smelled - I smelled your scent, you hugged me, you called my name. When I came back to life, it was when the Chen Mansion was destroyed, and the prince went to save me, and the fragrance on your body was the same as on his."
Zhao Chengyuan let go of Han Youning, leaning against the head of the bed in a dejected manner, the ink in his eyes was churning, like a hurricane passing through the country, destroying the world.
Han Youning noticed his strange appearance, and when he turned around, he saw that his face was dark and terrifying, his eyes were fierce and abnormal, and the cold air was overwhelming.
This looks very similar to Zhao Chen. is very similar to Zhao Chen's appearance after she was slighted by Zhao Yin.
The fear and despair that had swirled in her previous life came back and shattered her mind.
Once again, she failed.
She has been married to the crown prince for three whole years, and a man will mind, who would believe that her chastity is still there? Especially when she used to like the prince so much, it means that in those years, she forgot about Zhao Chengyuan.
Han Youning was frightened, his lips were pale, and he looked at him in a daze.
She really overestimated the measure of men in such things.
If she is imprisoned by Zhao Chengyuan, will she have the strength to resist? Could she have escaped from his net?
Seeing Han Youning's expression, Zhao Chengyuan hurriedly restrained his emotions and got up to stroke her hair, but she avoided her, and even, she retreated into the bed and stayed away from him.
Zhao Chengyuan saw that she was so timid, like a frightened deer caught by a beast, helpless and desperate.
Is this what she was like?
His chest froze, and he restrained his emotions and said, "Silly girl, I'm angry with myself, why do I watch you suffer there, but I don't care about you. It's my fault, not yours."
Han Youning still had fear in his eyes, raised his eyes to look at him, trying to understand from his expression, how much was true and how much was false.
Zhao Chengyuan said softly, "Girl, you are something I grew up watching, no matter what you have experienced, you are the little girl I cherish. How could I be angry with you? And how can you mind your past?"
Han Youning looked at him warily, and Zhao Chen didn't seem to mind back then, so he married her and entered the mansion. But what about the facts?
She asked, "I've been married for three years, and the prince doesn't suspect that my chastity is absent?" In particular, the crown prince is still alive, and he also has memories of his past life."
