Chapter 342 Confession of the Past

The first moment Shen Ning regained consciousness, she heard a very soft voice calling out.

"Ningning, Ningning..."

Who is calling her?

She is so sleepy. Why are her eyelids so heavy? Why do you have to call her? She wants to sleep so much.

"Ningning."

The slightly hoarse voice suddenly made Shen Ning feel familiar. Who was it?

Xiao Nanchen, it’s Xiao Nanchen.

In an instant, his consciousness quickly began to clear. The collapsed palace, the hoarse voice of the Great Wizard, and Xiao Nanchen's tense and anxious expression before he fell asleep...

"Sister, sister."

Shen Qingbai was also calling softly from the side.

Shen Ning finally forced herself to open her eyes, but the light stung them and she closed them again. She almost fell asleep again. She gritted her teeth and pulled herself together, finally opening her eyes again.

What caught her eye were Xiao Nanchen's red eyes. Seeing the green stubble on his chin, Shen Ning pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed hoarsely: "How long have I slept? Why are you so sloppy?"

Xiao Nanchen moved his lips but didn't say anything. He reached out and hugged the person, burying his head in Shen Ning's shoulder. Shen Ning heard him sigh silently.

She finally woke up.

Next to him, Shen Qingbai subconsciously looked away to avoid suspicion, but then turned back.

He already knew about Shen Ning's condition and knew that he was about to lose his sister.

The young man felt distressed, but he tried not to show it. He just whispered, "You've been unconscious for three days. If you don't wake up, Anan will be worried sick."

Shen Ning moved and supported herself on the bed to sit up: "No wonder I felt refreshed after sleeping, it turns out I got enough sleep."

Xiao Nanchen quickly supported her and placed a pillow behind her so that she could lean more comfortably.

Shen Qingbai turned around and whispered to Qiyue, whose eyes were red, "Go and ask the court official to tell him that my sister has woken up."

July quickly turned around and went out. Soon, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau came in with Ye Heng.

Ye Heng also looked anxious and almost tripped when he stepped over the threshold. After seeing Shen Ning, he pushed his teacher aside and took Shen Ning's pulse first.

But when his fingers rested on Shen Ning's wrist, his hand began to tremble slightly in just a moment.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..."

Tears welled up in her little eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back, gritting her teeth and saying, "It must be that I'm not skilled enough. I'll take your pulse again and try again."

Shen Ning retracted her hand and smiled helplessly: "Don't waste time, I know everything myself."

But the hand he was about to retract was held down by Xiao Nanchen. His face was tense and his eyes were stubborn. "Please ask the envoy to take a look... Doudou has returned to Southern Xinjiang to find a solution. There will definitely be a way."

Shen Ning moved her mouth and could only obey him.

However, everyone knows it in their hearts.

After taking the patient's pulse, the doctor remained silent for a while before picking up his pen to write a prescription: "You can take some decoctions to replenish your Qi and blood."

Xiao Nanchen was anxious: "What do you mean by replenishing Qi and blood? What Qi and blood should I replenish..."

Shen Ning grabbed him and frowned: “Anan.”

Without her saying a word, Xiao Nanchen, who was already on the verge of going berserk, stopped immediately. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, knelt down beside Shen Ning's bed, and reached out to hug her tightly.

Shen Qingbai winked, and the people around him walked out silently, leaving only Shen Ning and Xiao Nanchen.

Shen Ning patted Xiao Nanchen: "Anan, shouldn't you prepare for the succession ceremony?"

The sooner you ascend the throne, the sooner the peace can be restored. The entire Daxuan Dynasty has been in turmoil for a long time and urgently needs a new emperor to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the government.

Xiao Nanchen said: "Okay, I will take the throne and we will get married."

He said, "You don't need to be Princess Ding anymore, just be my Queen."

Shen Ning fell silent. After a pause, she said softly, "Anan, you know..."

"I only know that I want to marry you, only you. I've come this far because I want to marry you properly and give you all the best..."

Xiao Nanchen's eyes were red as he stared at her intently: "Chen Ning, you can say whatever you want to hurt my heart, but no one can make me change my mind."

Shen Ning finally fell silent.

After a long while, she spoke softly, "Anan, do you know what the witch doctor meant?"

Xiao Nanchen's lips tightened: "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Shen Ning looked at him and said slowly: "I am not from this world."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ning glanced outside... Very good, there was no magical scene like thunder and lightning appearing.

On the other side, Xiao Nanchen was already stunned. He subconsciously asked, "What?"

Chen Ning said, "I come from another world, a civilized world that has developed thousands of years earlier than this one. The reason I know so many things is that I learned them in that world..."

Xiao Nanchen was filled with shock and confusion.

If anyone else said this to him, he wouldn't believe a word, but this was Shen Ning...

"Weren't you Madam Xie's daughter, and were you kidnapped from Huguo Temple more than ten years ago..."

Shen Ning hummed and looked at Xiao Nanchen: "That's the original Shen Ning, not me."

She said: "I came here the day before Zhao Mu was buried..."

After revealing the things that had been hidden for a long time, she felt relieved, especially when she saw Xiao Nanchen's shocked and bewildered expression, Shen Ning actually found it funny.

I'm afraid this is no less than a fairy tale to him.

"I know it's hard for you to believe this, but Anan, everything I said is true. You can think of this as a resurrection of the dead. I am that soul."

Xiao Nanchen was completely confused, but at the same time, he suddenly felt that many things that he had deliberately avoided thinking about before could suddenly be explained clearly.

She can make sugar, grow new crops, and even make things like thunder bombs... If you look into it carefully, it can't be explained by just reading a book.

It's not that he didn't know that Chen Ning had deliberately concealed the origins of those things, but he didn't want to delve into her secrets.

But I didn't expect that this was the reason?

Xiao Nanchen was not stupid, but he knew that Chen Ning would not make up such an incredible lie. More importantly, in the unofficial history of the Daxuan Dynasty, there had been people like him who were known to be born with knowledge.

Shen Ning looked at him: "In that world, I once saw some information about this world through some means. I know you, Anan."

Xiao Nanchen suddenly looked up.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "When I was in Pingning County, I knew who you were. I also knew that you would be the new ruler in the future... It was because I wanted to find a backer that I treated you well and took care of you in every way... Anan, you see, my starting point is not simple."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Shen Ning continued: "So, you don't have to be too sad."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Nanchen shook his head: "I don't believe it."

He looked at Shen Ning and said word by word: "I don't believe anything you said."

Shen Ning just wanted him to let go of the fact that she was about to leave... But, how was that possible?

How could he let it go... She was the one that had been engraved into his heart. They had supported each other all the way to where they were today, and they had already become each other's other half.

Chen Ning lowered her eyes: "I know it's hard for you to believe, but this is all true, Anan, if I'm not mistaken, you should have already decided on the reign title."

Xiao Nanchen suddenly looked up and met Chen Ning's eyes with a faint smile: "Jing Yong...right?"

Just two words, but they seemed to strike Xiao Nanchen's head like thunder.

He had just written these two words last night, and they were still under the paperweight... Because the court was preparing for the coronation ceremony, those officials kept chasing him, and he was only thinking about Chen Ning in his heart. Unable to bear the annoyance, he just wrote two words casually.

And those two words had not yet been spoken out, and no one else would know about them except him!

Chen Ning sighed: "Anan, I approached you just to get close to you, you should believe it now..."

Xiao Nanchen's eyes were red, and Shen Ning didn't dare to look at him.

She knew how Xiao Nanchen grew up, and she also knew that her words would hurt him, but she was destined to leave. Rather than letting him suffer the grief of death, it would be better to create some rifts between them early on.

He had longed for favoritism since he was a child. If he had known that she had other intentions, perhaps he would not have been too sad after she left.

Besides, these are facts.

"Okay, I believe you..."

Xiao Nanchen's hoarse voice sounded, and Shen Ning's heart stagnated slightly. Finally, she couldn't help but slowly raised her head and met his red eyes.

"Since you came to me in search of a backer, I am now the most powerful backer in the world..."

Xiao Nanchen reached out and held Shen Ning's hand with a trembling voice, pleading: "So, you stay and let me be your lifelong support, okay?"

He said, "Ningning, you promised to marry me, you can't go back on your word."

He said, "I'll take over in five days, and we'll be married and crowned queen on the same day... Ningning, I'll always be your supporter, and you'll always stay by my side. We have a deal, okay?"

Chen Ning lowered her eyes, and the smile she had tried so hard to hold finally gave way, her vision blurring...
