Chapter 192 The Truth
Clang——
The sound of the door in the next room opening and closing suddenly rang out, startling Lu Yunzheng and making him shudder.
He looked around blankly. At this moment, the numbness from his fingertips spread all over his body, making every limb of his body cold.
When he discovered that Xizhi was lying to him some time ago, he felt that he had become much more sober.
He subconsciously abandoned the pride and superiority brought by living a new life, no longer relied on or longed for the path of his previous life that had gone astray, and focused on the present with his feet on the ground.
He thought that he had begun to regain control of this life, but at this moment he realized that there was a hand holding a string above his head, leading him step by step towards eternal damnation!
Now think back -
The flower-viewing banquet, the witchcraft case, the welcoming banquet in the imperial court, and the blessing ceremony at Zhoushan on February 2nd when he was absent.
The Crown Princess is still alive, the Lady of Anyang is not dead, Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun are engaged, but Prince Xiang is imprisoned for life.
Each and every one of these events is clearly beneficial to the Emperor's grandson's camp, and every time... Shen Jiasui is present!
When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng felt a chill climbing up his spine, making him shudder.
It seems that Shen Jiasui also came back from his previous life very early, before the welcoming banquet, or perhaps... on the same day as him!
He was too arrogant, so arrogant that he thought that only he was worthy of such a mysterious opportunity as rebirth.
But it turned out that while he was feeling complacent, Shen Jiasui had already been lurking in the dark, planning and turning the situation around to where it is today!
The more Lu Yunzheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door with a look of shock and anger on his face.
He was going to confront Shen Jiasui right now and get everything clear from her!
But as soon as he put his hand on the bolt, Lu Yunzheng's steps froze again.
If he met Shen Jiasui, and Shen Jiasui was really reborn like him, what would he say?
Scold Shen Jiasui for hiding the truth from him and making a mess of his life?
But in his previous life, he and Shen Jiasui had become mortal enemies. In this life, even if Shen Jiasui stabbed him to death with a hairpin again, it would only be revenge for a grudge and a grievance for a wrong.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng hesitated and withdrew his hand, his heart was in a mess.
The two were reborn together, and the one who was exposed first was destined to lose the opportunity. Unfortunately, he was so stupid that he only discovered the truth today.
Then why did Shen Jiasui endure until today?
Obviously, with her impulsive and reckless personality and based on his understanding of her, Shen Jiasui should have fought him to the death on the day of her rebirth.
No.
We can no longer take this for granted.
Lu Yunzheng shook his head repeatedly, forcing himself to calm down.
There is a trace for everything, but he never thought about it carefully before.
Could it be that in his previous life, when he was far away at the border and the Shen family was in trouble, Shen Jiasui suffered a lot and therefore changed his personality?
Yes, when faced with sudden changes, people always grow up...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu Yunzheng actually felt that he was still standing still, while Shen Jiasui had already left him far behind.
In this way, thinking back on Shen Jiasui's every move, the reason why he didn't attack him...
Lu Yunzheng would naturally not be so stupid as to think that Shen Jiasui still had any reluctance or attachment to him. It seemed that it was only because he still had "value" to her.
And this "value"...
He thought about it and the only possibility was that Shen Jiasui wanted to follow the clues from him and find out the real culprit behind the frame-up of the Shen family!
She is really patient...
At this point, Lu Yunzheng felt that he had touched the truth.
But in his previous life, the evidence that put the entire Shen family to death was handed to him personally by Prince Xiang. Wasn’t Prince Xiang the real murderer behind the scenes?
Prince Xiang has now been imprisoned for life by the Emperor. Why is it that Shen Jiasui's recent actions seem to be leading him to investigate Xizhi step by step?
Cherish the branches......
What does all this have to do with Xizhi?
In her previous life, Xizhi could only imitate Shen Zhengsheng's handwriting and wait for him obediently in the courtyard.
Could it be...that there is some inside story that he doesn't know?
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng suddenly came back to his senses and quickly walked to the window. He just saw the carriage that Gu Xizhi was riding in reached the end of the street and disappeared from his sight after turning a corner.
Lu Yunzheng's breathing suddenly became heavy.
He seemed to know.
Overt conspiracy, this is Shen Jiasui’s open conspiracy!
Perhaps from the moment he mentioned "Beijing Guard Station" in the letter, Shen Jiasui was already prepared that one day he would guess the truth.
As for the third letter received some time ago, the words "wait for the right time to act" were just to steady him and buy time, waiting for him to find out more about Xizhi.
Shen Jiasui was so certain that even if he guessed at the end that all this was her plan, he would not be able to stop investigating.
Because he also urgently needs the truth, and he is anxious and restless, just to let his previous self die clearly and let the infatuation of two lives come to an end!
"Okay...Okay..."
Lu Yunzheng suddenly felt dizzy and hurriedly held onto the windowsill to barely stand. At this moment he laughed bitterly.
He thought he was stupid only in this life, but could it be that... he had been fooled in both his lives?
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng staggered back a few steps and sat down at the table in a daze.
I don't know how long it took until there was a knock on the door:
"Sir, would you like me to bring you some more tea?"
Clang——
The door of the private room was suddenly opened from the inside, which startled the waiter, who called out tremblingly:
"Sir... Sir?"
Lu Yunzheng turned his head to glance at the private room next door, said solemnly that it was not necessary, and then left quickly with a grim expression.
Before leaving today, he had intended to capture the old imperial physician directly, and use threats or bribes to get to the bottom of it.
But now, he has changed his mind.
Three days later, Jokhang Temple.
He couldn't wait to see with his own eyes whether the noble lady would condescend to keep the appointment, and what Xizhi...wanted to do!
And he had a hunch.
That day, maybe he would even be able to see Shen Jiasui!
Lu Yunzheng's skirt fluttered, and after leaving the inn, he jumped on his horse and galloped away.
......
At this moment, in a private room facing the street of the same inn, someone was watching Lu Yunzheng's back as he walked away through the crack in the window.
"Miss, what are you looking at?"
Baiji couldn't help but come closer with a curious look on his face.
The young lady took her out early this morning, but they came to such a remote inn, where they sat for two or three hours, which made her confused.
Fortunately, I brought some pastries with me before going out, otherwise I would have gone hungry.
The person by the window turned his head and looked over, talking and laughing. Who else could it be but Shen Jiasui?
"I'm trying to see if some people will become smarter."
Shen Jiasui answered with a smile, but Baiji looked confused.
"ah?"
"Let's go, Baiji. I'm so hungry. I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
Shen Jiasui did not explain, but walked briskly towards the door, with a faint glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
