When Lu Zheng opened his eyes again, his body still seemed to feel the pain of the arrow piercing his heart and a momentary chill.
But he soon sensed something was wrong.
He seems to be in a warm environment now.
...and he was holding something.
Lu Zheng subconsciously looked down and met a woman's sleepy eyes.
Lu Zheng: “…?”
He didn't understand what was going on, but the way he handled intuition that he had learned since childhood made him subconsciously put his hand on the woman's neck.
It was so thin that it would break in his hand if he exerted too much force.
The man who had just crawled out of the hell of death was cold and cruel, with chills in his eyes.
Jiang Jiang felt a little cold while half asleep. She forced herself to open her eyes and saw Lu Zheng sitting up for some unknown reason, with his cold hands on her neck to keep her warm.
Jiang Jiang: “………” How uncultured!
She hummed, naturally stuffed his hand into her arms, and muttered, "Why is it so cold again?" Then she pulled him under the quilt and hugged him, then she tilted her head and fell asleep again.
Lu Zheng's breathing suddenly became heavy, and the hand she was holding became stiff.
Jiang Jiang didn't know what he was thinking about. Perhaps because of the lack of care and love, Lu Zheng would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to see if she was still there, fearing that she would leave him one day.
She thought that this would be the case today as well, so she tried to prop up her upper body and kissed the corner of his hard lips, then smacked her lips and huddled under the quilt.
But Lu Zheng still didn't respond.
No, a little, his hands were shaking for some reason.
Jiang Jiang: “......?” Is this ever going to end? What are you doing so early in the morning?
She slapped Lu Zheng fiercely and said in a tender voice, "Hold me tight, then lie down and go to sleep. Don't let your imagination run wild. You still have to go to court soon."
Lu Zheng did as she said, but for some reason his body became even stiffer.
Jiang Jiang thought for a moment whether sleep or her husband was more important, but before she could figure it out, she fell asleep.
Lu Zheng looked at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms and felt a little helpless for the first time in his life.
No one ever hugged him.
Including his mother.
This strange, warm touch made him almost dare not move.
She looked so soft and beautiful, and treated him as if they were husband and wife, but Lu Zheng also knew that such a scene should not belong to him.
Nothing that has to do with happiness and brightness will belong to him.
But he just sat up and looked at the bronze mirror beside him, and it was indeed his face.
“…”
Maybe it was a dream.
Lu Zheng thought so, perhaps it was an illusion when he was dying.
He glanced at the eyes of the woman in his arms. She was well-fed and looked carefree, with a rosy complexion. Now she leaned against his chest in dependence, and Lu Zheng could almost hear his own heartbeat.
...Is this what his dream wife looks like?
Maybe he also looks forward to starting a family?
Lu Zheng carefully touched her face with his fingers. Her lips were incredibly soft.
He didn't dare to use force, for fear that the illusion would be exposed.
But it's so real.
It was so real that he actually hugged the woman and closed his eyes, hoping to drown in the illusion.
Then Lu Zheng was awakened by the palace maids, put on the dragon robe and went to court.
Lu Zheng: “......?” I had a very rich dream?
After attending court, he gradually regained consciousness.
This is not a dream or an illusion.
Some of the ministers in the court talked about areas that they were not proficient in, and it was impossible for knowledge that he did not know during his lifetime to appear in his dream.
So, where is the reality?
Lu Zheng saw Ji Jin, his most valued subordinate who had died while blocking a sword for him, and now he was secretly reading a storybook under his sleeve.
Promising.
Lu Zheng tried to find out the identity of this body indirectly.
Then an incredible conclusion was reached.
This is who he is.
Or should we say, him in another world?
In this world, he married Jiang Su's second daughter who died young, successfully ascended the throne, and had a loving relationship with the queen, and had a son.
This was something that Lu Zheng found hard to imagine.
He even saw traces of a woman in his study, which proved that he trusted his queen very much.
...Although she is indeed a beautiful woman, concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. It was actually him in this world who broke the rules for a woman.
Then why did he appear here after his death?
Lu Zheng walked aimlessly and ended up in the Queen's Palace.
He glanced at the eunuch beside him, who had a matter-of-fact look on his face.
It was as if he had done this countless times before.
——After walking around for a while, I finally arrived at Fengqi Palace.
Lu Zheng's muscle memory also responded in this way.
He suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous in this world. He had made himself into this state for a woman.
A dog that obeys orders?
Not only did he respond to her words, but now he can run to her house on his own without his owner calling him?
Lu Zheng felt a slight contempt for himself in this body.
No matter what kind of love it is, one should not neglect oneself for others, otherwise what is the difference between him and his mother?
...But Lu Zheng still walked in.
He thought he had to get more information from the queen.
--
Jiang Jiang felt that Lu Zheng was very strange today, but he couldn't tell why.
The person is still the same person.
...but it was just very strange, like he was a little distant, yet he reacted so strongly to her actions that she quickly dismissed the conclusion that he had changed his mind.
Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.
Lu Zheng looked at Jiang Jiang.
