Jiang Bai stared at him coldly.
Chu Nian pursed her lips helplessly and said, "Fine, let's go back then!" What the hell is this guy so angry about?
In the dead of night, Chu Nian felt a heavy weight on her body while she was fast asleep. She muttered helplessly, "Oh no, I'm having sleep paralysis."
The person on top of her coldly whispered in her ear, "Since you know everything, why... why..."
Chu Nian was a little puzzled and asked, "Why what?"
Why did you say those things to Zhang Lie?
Chu Nian paused for a moment, clearing her mind and dispelling her sleepiness, then said with a hint of realization, "So you were angry because of what I said?"
"If you're going to examine someone, you can only examine me!"
Chu Nian burst out laughing and said, "Your jealousy is so unfounded! Can't you tell I'm insulting him? It seems even the little emperor could tell!"
"Even if I could tell, I still..."
Seeing that he couldn't continue, Chu Nian laughed and said, "What's wrong? Can't take it?"
You're asking a question you already know the answer to.
Chu Nian's smile faded, and she sighed, saying, "Actually, I'm quite puzzled. What could have happened to cause such a drastic change in someone's personality?"
Jiang Bai remained silent, lowering his eyelids to conceal all the emotions in his eyes.
Chu Nian gave him a helpless push and said, "Get up quickly, you're so heavy."
Jiang Bai bit his lip, but finally got up and sat quietly next to Chu Nian.
Chu Nian propped her head up with her hand, lying on her side looking at his extremely handsome profile, and said with a frank smile, "I never thought that one day you would become so well-behaved."
Jiang Bai's eyes reddened for some reason, and he said softly, "From now on, I will listen to you in everything. Whatever you want, I will do everything I can to get it for you. Whatever you want to do, I will do everything I can to accomplish it for you."
Chu Nian sensed the extremely complex emotions in his words and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Bai: "What? Why?"
Chu Nian: "Why do you have to listen to me in everything? Whatever I want to get, whatever I want to do, you have to help me accomplish it?"
Jiang Bai blinked a few times, his gaze falling into the void, and murmured, "Because of me..." He paused, then suddenly burst into tears, looking at Chu Nian, "...I am your disciple, always will be!" As he finished speaking, he tried to smile again.
Hearing him say that, Chu Nian thought to herself, "Could it be that this guy's sealed memories from before the age of five have been unsealed?"
But even if those memories were later unlocked, he shouldn't have acted like this! After all, they hadn't spent much time together back then, and their feelings for each other weren't really that deep.
Wait a minute! No, that's not right! This guy time-traveled, and so did I, and I've traveled to more than one timeline. I've changed bodies countless times already.
"How did you know I was Hua Nian?" Chu Nian asked.
Jiang Bai: "Because of the fluctuations in your soul."
Chu Nian was even more surprised: "When I took you as my disciple, you were so small, it was impossible for you to sense my soul fluctuations."
Jiang Bai fell silent.
Chu Nian: "Did something else happen later?"
Jiang Bai remained silent.
Chu Nian said angrily, "Jiang Bai, you'd better tell me the truth..."
"Your subject takes his leave!" Jiang Bai suddenly interrupted her, which startled her. Then, Jiang Bai leaned over and planted a light kiss on her face before disappearing in an instant.
He took advantage of her and ran away without getting anything out of her! Chu Nian was furious, but she also really missed the cute little apprentice who had stretched out his arms for a hug.
It seems obvious that this guy's feelings for her are obvious, but what about his relationship with Lou Qianzong? Chu Nianshen thought that the current young emperor must have been seduced by his beauty, thoughtfulness, and even all-around abilities, which is why he later became gay.
Chu Nian had absolutely no interest in romance, especially a love triangle. In her view, loving someone was just too much trouble: it would cause her pain, anxiety, and often make the other person feel the same way, which was practically the same as harming herself and others.
"Isn't it great to be able to roam the world alone?" Chu Nian shook her head helplessly, lay down, and continued sleeping.
Seeing her so carefree at the door, Jiang Bai's eyes reddened again, but he smiled and then turned away, disappearing completely into the night.
The next evening, the emperor and Jiang Bai came to Cining Palace together.
Although the emperor constantly quipped and talked back to the original owner of the body, he still came to pay his respects every day without fail. That's why the original owner felt so guilty towards the emperor after realizing she had been deceived.
But it's normal for the emperor to come, so why is Jiang Bai here too?
After the young emperor and Jiang Bai bowed to each other, the young emperor sent palace servants to make him tea and bring him snacks, melon seeds, and many other treats.
Chu Nian noticed that he seemed to be looking for an excuse to dismiss these people, so she said directly, "Your Majesty has come at the right time. I have important matters to discuss with you." After saying that, she said to the palace servants, "You may all leave now. The Grand Tutor can serve His Majesty here."
After the palace servants withdrew, the young emperor excitedly said, "Mother, have you received the news? All the military officers at the border who originally served under the mighty General were assassinated last night."
Chu Nian was taken aback and turned to look at Jiang Bai: This guy doesn't make a move unless it's a complete disaster, but when he does, it's such a chaotic mess!
It's a pity that this power wasn't seized through cunning; I'm afraid the young emperor won't be able to truly grow up! Chu Nian felt a little regretful.
She asked with a calm expression, "Oh? Is that so?"
The young emperor said, "Yes, I was also very surprised when I heard about it. I thought that all the officials in the court were afraid of Marquis Weiwu, who had a deep connection with the Xuanmen sect. I did not expect that there would be someone who was not afraid of him at all and dared to openly provoke him like this."
Chu Nian felt a little helpless: Silly child, the person you mentioned who is not afraid of Marquis Weiwu at all is your Grand Tutor!
Jiang Bai said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't seem to be very interested in this matter."
The young emperor paused for a moment, then said, "Mother, you don't still have feelings for that Zhang Lie, do you?"
Chu Nian: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just feel that Zhang Lie won't give in so easily. Don't forget there's still Baili Xi!"
Although Zhang Lie is crippled, Baili Xi is not.
Chu Nian then asked Jiang Bai, "What good ideas does the Grand Tutor have?"
Jiang Bai said, "Now that there is a sudden shortage of military officers, the army needs to promote new generals."
Chu Nian: "Grand Tutor must have already made arrangements for this!"
Jiang Bai: "Your Majesty, I have already submitted a list of personnel who can be appointed."
The young emperor looked at Jiang Bai with admiration and said, "When it comes to strategy, if the Grand Tutor of the world dares to say he is second, absolutely no one dares to say he is first."
But as soon as he said that, Jiang Bai gave Chu Nian a long, meaningful look.
Chu Nian was puzzled: ...Why are you looking at me like that?
