Seeing Zhu Wuhuan come back to his senses, Zhu Huaining stood up after waiting for half a minute.
He walked up to Zhu Wuhuan and asked, "Have you recovered?"
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, "Much better."
She stood up and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you for telling me about Si Sangsang. It means a lot to me."
Zhu Huaining couldn't help but sigh again when he saw her like this.
He's a good kid, but unfortunately, he's not his.
He said, "No need to thank you, I want to ask you something, please tell me the truth."
Zhu Wuhuan guessed what he wanted to ask, "You want to know where your real daughter is, right?"
Zhu Huaining nodded.
This was something he had wanted to know for a long time, but she had just been staring blankly at the beams as if she was frightened, and he didn't have the heart to come over and disturb her.
Zhu Wuhuan said, "She should be in my body from a thousand years ago. We should have swapped souls."
Zhu Huaining was stunned after hearing this.
He frowned, "Are you sure? But when Si Sangsang traveled into the Queen Mother's body, the Queen Mother's soul existed at the same time as hers. They were two souls in one body."
Zhu Wuhuan was also stunned.
She subconsciously looked down at her body!
When she thought that the soul of Queen Zhu still lived in this body, her scalp tingled!
Why could she fall in love with a tyrant so openly?
It was because the system had implicitly told her that she and Queen Zhu had swapped bodies!
So she felt that if Queen Zhu could do anything with her body, she could naturally do anything with her current body.
They owe no one anything.
But if Queen Zhu is still in this body, then wouldn't it be too unfair to Queen Zhu for her to be with the tyrant?
The tyrant was the enemy who sentenced Queen Zhu to death by torture!
She panicked and mentally asked the system, "System, come out! Is Queen Zhu's soul still in this body?"
The system popped up, "She's not here. You two have truly swapped souls. She's now live-streaming in the modern world performing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She's become an overnight sensation, boasting millions of fans and having a blast! Oh, and she still touches the tyrant's skull every day, seemingly trying to steal it home and grind it to dust!"
Zhu Wuhuan was still worried. [What did General Zhu say? Back then, Si Sangsang and the Queen Mother were two souls in one?]
The system was also confused. [I don't know either. Logically, our line of work is supposed to follow the law of soul conservation. If someone travels back a thousand years, there must be someone who travels back a thousand years...]
After hesitating for a moment, it was a little bit unconvinced. [Unless, after the Queen Mother traveled to the modern era, she killed the body belonging to the time traveler Si Sangsang. Then, since she did not belong to that time and space, she would be ostracized by the world and returned to the past thousand years...]
Zhu Wuhuan was shocked when he heard this!
If this is true, how should the time traveler Si Sangsang face everything after she submits her mission and returns to the modern era?
If her body was destroyed, wouldn't she have nowhere to go?
She tried desperately to complete her mission and return to the modern era to reunite with her family and save her sister, but ended up becoming a wandering ghost when she returned?
Zhu Wuhuan subconsciously asked, "If Queen Zhu commits suicide in modern times and destroys my body, will she also return to this body?"
The system replied timidly, "Yes, that's right! But don't be afraid, host. The system mall has items that can kill alien souls, but they're a bit expensive. If that day ever comes and she kills your body, you can also kill her."
Zhu Wuhuan felt relieved after hearing this.
She raised her head and told Zhu Huaining what the system told her.
She didn't want to deceive this old father who missed his daughter.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaining felt completely relieved.
He looked at Zhu Wuhuan with sudden realization.
No wonder the time traveler Si Sangsang was hurt by the golden light on his body, but Wu Huan in front of him was not.
Because this body has only one soul.
The elderly man, concerned about his daughter, couldn't help but ask, "Are you living well in the modern world? Will my daughter be wronged if she goes there?"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled bitterly, "It's not good, but it's not bad either."
Zhu Huaining asked worriedly, "How do you say that?"
Zhu Wuhuan said, "I'm an orphan in modern times, without parents... well, no father or mother. I grew up in an orphanage because I had to work hard to support myself and repay the government's student loan. So I was busy working every day and had no time to make friends. So I don't have any friends either, I'm a loner, and that's the downside."
She looked at Zhu Huaining and smiled again, "As for the good side, in modern times, men and women are equal. We can choose the person we like to marry and have children. There is no hierarchy and we don't have to be persecuted by the emperor."
She added, "By the way, I'm a university student in modern times researching the history of the Daning Dynasty. Your daughter, being from the Daning Dynasty, would be perfectly placed to research on that era. She could make a ton of money!"
Zhu Huaining listened to her description and gradually smiled.
Time travel is a fact, and as long as his daughter lives well in modern times, he will feel at ease.
As an ancient person who has mastered many ancient skills and knows everything about the Da Ning Dynasty, it goes without saying that his daughter will be able to thrive in modern times.
Perhaps, it is much better than being trapped in this deep palace?
He had heard Si Sangsang talk about that world, and now there was this time traveler's description of it. He believed that the splendor of that world was something his daughter would never be able to see in her lifetime in the Daning Dynasty, and that his daughter would definitely fall in love with that world.
"That's good... That's good!"
Zhu Huaining's eyes were red and he smiled with relief.
Zhu Wuhuan looked at him and smiled, and couldn't help but smile too.
She was actually quite afraid that the old man would be sad.
I just hope he can feel at ease.
After Zhu Huaining laughed heartily, he looked down and saw Zhu Wuhuan's smile.
He sighed softly and raised his hand to touch Zhu Wuhuan's head.
He said gently, "From now on, don't call me old general. Call me dad."
Zhu Wuhuan was stunned. "You... don't hate me?"
Zhu Huaining shook his head and smiled, "Why should I hate you? You, like Si Sangsang, came here unwillingly. This is not your fault. Besides, you and my daughter are exchanged on an equal footing. You did not steal my daughter's body. From now on, she will be you a thousand years later, and you, my daughter, Zhu Huaining—"
He smiled and said, "I will just think of myself as having two daughters. One will live a thousand years from now. I will always think of her and burn incense every day to pray to the gods to bless her with peace, happiness and a happy life. The other one will be right here in front of me. I can protect and pamper her."
When Zhu Wuhuan heard his gentle words, he couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes.
Such a gentle dad...
She likes this dad very much!
With red eyes, she called out softly, "Dad!"
Zhu Huaining smiled and rubbed her hair, "Hey, Dad is here."
Zhu Wuhuan's tears suddenly burst out, and he couldn't help but throw himself into his father's broad and warm arms.
She didn't have parents in the modern era. But now, she does. ...Outside the side hall.
A dark figure stood still for a long time.
His eyes were slightly red, and his fingers hanging in his sleeves pinched his palms hard, almost drawing blood.
He couldn't hear the hushed conversation between the old general and Zhu Wuhuan. But he could hear Zhu Wuhuan's inner voice. He was listening intently, so absorbed in it that he didn't even notice a yellow goose pecking furiously at his feet.
(Huanhuan’s heart was healed by the old general. Then, our Huanhuan will also heal the tyrant’s heart! Although he doesn’t have a good mother, he can have a good wife, hahaha!)
