Chapter 116: Sun and Moon
My emotions were in turmoil just now, and now that I have come to my senses, it is difficult for me to even stay awake.
Jiang Xun just relied on his willpower to quickly chase the light ahead.
In a trance, Miss Shen's voice seemed to come from a very far distance: "Master Jiang, do you believe that people have past lives and present lives?"
Jiang Xun shook his head. His lips and tongue were numb, but he still responded without hesitation: "Believe it."
He remembered his past life clearly. Ten years had passed, but many details were still vivid and he dared not forget them.
"What if I say that I knew Master Jiang in my previous life?"
The words slowly reached his ears, causing Jiang Xun to lift his eyes suddenly, but everything in front of him was blurry.
"In my previous life, I met Lord Jiang at the gate of the Dali Temple."
"But at that time, I was in a very bad state and went there to seek justice, while Lord Jiang was a man of integrity and honor, and was already a great man in the eyes of the people."
When Jiang Xun heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his heart started beating wildly.
He remembered the same dream that had been recurring over and over again for days.
The woman in plain clothes knelt at the gate of Dali Temple and complained about her grievances, but he could not see her appearance clearly.
Could it be... Could it be that she is...
"Miss Shen, it's you——"
Jiang Xun could no longer conceal his shock, he wanted to ask what injustice Miss Shen had suffered and why she was crying so sadly.
He quickened his pace, trying to catch up with Shen Jiasui, but his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.
A fishy and sweet smell suddenly rushed out of the throat, and at this moment, the light in front of my eyes suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Xun was anxious, "Miss Shen!"
Just as he uttered the words, someone firmly grasped his hand in the darkness.
"Master Jiang."
The calling voice was close at hand, trembling.
"The fire is out. It's okay. I'll take you out."
Jiang Xun felt a strong force pulling him up.
He tried his best to cooperate, taking every step with all his strength. The person next to him was obviously thin, but so steady and full of strength.
He opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse.
“Miss Shen, tell me, what injustice have you suffered and why are you crying?”
Shen Jiasui turned her head suddenly when she heard that. In an instant, his hot and soft lips brushed against her forehead and left immediately.
But Shen Jiasui was completely attracted by Jiang Xun's words, and his breathing became rapid. He spoke in disbelief:
"Master Jiang, what did you just say?"
Jiang Xun's thoughts were completely confused. "Ms. Chen, I dreamed of you. I dreamed that you cried. You were wronged, Miss Chen..."
Towards the end, the words gradually became lingering and filled with desire.
He couldn't help but lean over, his hot face pressed against Shen Jiasui's neck, and he pressed his thin lips against her almost instinctively, and his hands, which were originally hanging at his side, also moved towards her.
Shen Jiasui's heart trembled so much that he was pushed by Jiang Xun and staggered against the wall.
"Miss Shen...Shen...Sui Sui...Sui Sui..."
Jiang Xun sighed softly and clung tightly to Shen Jiasui, having completely lost his mind.
Shen Jiasui finally came to his senses.
However, she never pushed Jiang Xun away.
In the deep darkness, she reached out her hands and took the initiative to wrap them around Jiang Xun's waist.
The faint fragrance entered his nostrils, and Jiang Xun trembled all over. His shattered sanity was pieced back together with great difficulty at this moment.
He stepped back instantly, and when he turned his head away, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He bit his tongue.
"Ms. Shen, knock me out."
Jiang Xun spoke with a trembling voice, extremely angry with himself.
He couldn't hurt Miss Shen at this time.
In the darkness, what responded to him was the low sobbing that was tried hard to conceal.
Jiang Xun's pupils shrank slightly when he heard the voice, and he quickly reached forward and held up a face.
I caressed gently with my fingertips and felt the warm tears.
“I’m sorry, Miss Shen, I’m sorry.”
Jiang Xun apologized in panic, one after another, at a loss as to what to do.
Shen Jiasui shook his head, but tears were already flowing.
"That was not a dream, Lord Jiang. You will never know how important you are to me."
It is the bright moon, the fresh breeze, and redemption.
After her entire family was executed in her previous life, she completely lost hope of living and wandered around the sealed General Dingguo's Mansion day and night like a wandering soul.
Her tears had dried up and her strength was all gone. She was completely hopeless and curled up on the ground with her clothes on, waiting for her parents to come and pick her up.
There were footsteps.
She thought she was hallucinating and murmured, "Daddy, Mommy, are you here to pick up Sui Sui?"
"Ms. Shen......."
A faint sigh was heard.
Her heart trembled, and she opened her eyes tiredly, but what she saw was the familiar corner of scarlet clothes.
"Miss Shen, Jiang said outside the Dali Temple that day: Justice is the intention and cannot be tarnished. It is my duty to settle cases and eliminate injustices."
"You entrusted me with your whole heart, but I failed to live up to your trust. No matter what the reason is, it is my fault and my incompetence. Please allow me to apologize to Miss Shen and the innocent souls of the Shen family."
She suddenly propped up her upper body and saw Lord Jiang brushing aside the hem of his skirt and actually kneeling down in front of her and kowtowed heavily.
She thought that she would never be able to shed tears again, but at this moment, seeing Lord Jiang touching the ground with his forehead, tears welled up in her eyes again.
How could she possibly blame Lord Jiang?
I heard that he was reprimanded several times by the emperor because of the Shen family case, and was later confined to the palace and has not attended court for a long time.
She didn't hate the people who framed the Shen family, nor did she blame the court for its injustice. Instead, she blamed Lord Jiang who had worked hard for the Shen family?
There is no such thing in the world.
However, her entire family died unjustly, and no one could save them. She no longer had any desire to live.
"Master Jiang, please go. Thank you."
She choked with sobs as she spoke, but Lord Jiang straightened his body and looked at her intently.
He said: "Miss Shen, you are the only victim still alive. I know it is difficult, but I still want to ask you to live well."
"Jiang will continue to move forward, even if my head is broken and bloody, and my body is separated, I will return the truth and innocence to you and the entire Shen family."
She shook her head when she heard this, and cried in despair: "Master Jiang, it's useless, you know, it's useless..."
"It's useless, but I have to try it anyway."
She finally looked up and looked at Lord Jiang's face.
He didn't look...well.
There was blue under his eyes, his face was pale, and his eyes were even bloodshot.
If she saw it correctly, there seemed to be bloodstains under Lord Jiang's slightly messy collar.
She asked: "Master Jiang, why do you... have to go to such lengths?"
She still dares not forget a single word of his words.
He said: “Miss Shen, it is really stupid to do something knowing that it is impossible.”
"But it happens that I am that stupid person. I don't know what can be done or not, I only know what should or should not be done."
"If one day, Miss Shen hears the news of my death, don't worry, and don't feel guilty. I just did what I thought I should do, and then... returned to where I came from."
Her mind was in a mess and she was no longer able to think. She just asked blankly, "Master Jiang, where are you from?"
He did not answer, but leaned over to support her.
“Miss Shen, if you and I can survive to the end, I will tell you then.”
He smiled.
That was the first time I saw him curl his lips, and it was at such a sad and desperate moment.
She looked up at him, her eyes red, and then burst into tears in front of him.
This was - the last time they saw each other in their previous life.
That day, when she saw Lord Jiang again at the gate of the Imperial College, no one knew what kind of storm was stirring in her heart.
She thought that her interactions with Lord Jiang in her previous life would always remain only in her mind.
But Lord Jiang actually said that he dreamed of...
Just this one sentence brought back all the weakness that she had long since decided to put aside, and she could no longer hold back her tears.
Those days were so hard.
After her rebirth, she never dared to think deeply about Lord Jiang's final outcome.
She knew in her heart that Lord Jiang always kept his word and must still be working for the truth and justice.
If you lose, there is only one outcome, death without a complete body...
Thinking of this, she could no longer bear the guilt and pain, and took Jiang Xun's hand again, saying in a trembling voice:
"Master Jiang, I am the one who should say sorry. Let's go. I am willing to tell you everything after we get out."
The warm body came closer again, and then, led him forward firmly.
Jiang Xun nodded heavily and tried his best to keep up with Shen Jiasui.
The unbearable pain on the tip of his tongue left him somewhat conscious, trying to think about the meaning of Miss Shen's words.
Isn’t that a dream?
Miss Shen asked him if he believed in past lives and present lives, so, that was Miss Shen’s past life?
In an instant, Jiang Xun figured out a lot of things.
Prince Rong's Mansion, Jokhang Temple, and the Earl's Mansion, everything Miss Shen did had traces to follow.
She carries a heavy burden, trying to change the trajectory of her past life, to make up for the regrets of her past life, and to avoid possible tragedy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun's greatest hesitation finally slowly dissipated.
Originally, he didn't want to burden Miss Shen at all.
But if they are walking the same difficult path, if their fates are closely related, then he should hold Miss Shen tightly and walk side by side with her.
"Ms. Shen."
Jiang Xun suddenly spoke up, unable to hold back the love and attachment in his heart any longer, and responded in a low voice:
"You don't know how important you are to me."
It is warm light, bright lamp and salvation.
The scorching sun is hot and bright, while the bright moon is cool and noble.
In the dark secret passage, the scorching sun and the bright moon support each other, walk side by side, and illuminate and save each other.
At this time, click, click——
There is light coming from the corner ahead.
Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun were startled and looked up at the light source at the same time.
I saw that Lin Lao was holding a lantern and Nan Feng was holding a torch. The two of them stared at them blankly with their eyes wide open.
"ah!"
For some reason, Shen Jiasui was so frightened that he immediately became angry, as if he was caught eating candy as a child, and let Jiang Xun go without a second thought.
Bang--
Jiang Xun's steps were big to begin with, but he relied on Shen Jiasui's strength. This time he was caught off guard and bumped into the wall beside him with a dull sound.
Elder Lin was so frightened that he cried out, "Ouch! My precious baby!"
