"I must go to the palace immediately."
Thinking of this, Zhu Huaining could no longer feel at ease. He immediately stepped out of the bathtub, put on his clothes and was about to leave.
He wanted to see if that was still his daughter!
If my daughter's body is occupied by someone else, then where does she go?
He couldn't feel at ease without knowing where his daughter was!
"It's almost dark, what are you going to do now?"
Madam Zhu was surprised by his actions and quickly grabbed his arm, "No matter how urgent the matter is, it has to wait. The palace gates are about to be locked!"
After grabbing the man, she asked softly, "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"
What's up?
Zhu Huaining stopped and looked at the ignorant lady with complicated eyes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to tell his wife, but kept silent because he was concerned about something.
He clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, and finally he suppressed the urge to tell his wife everything.
Can't say.
He is the only one in the world who knows about the time traveler from Shoukang Palace, and he is the only one who can accept this fact. Even if he tells his wife about this, she may not believe it.
not to mention……
He had promised that he would never tell this secret to anyone.
He took a deep breath and wished Huaining would calm down.
He said, "It's not important. I'll go tomorrow."
He let his wife put on a thicker coat for him, then calmly held his wife's hand and returned to the front room.
Afterwards, the lady brought the imperial physician and began to apply medicine to the wound on his back.
He sat at the table with his legs stretched out, looking out the window at the sunset in the distance, lost in the memories of the past.
…That was twenty-four years ago.
He married his current wife, Yu Wanning, at the border. His wife gave birth to their eldest son, Zhu Xuanyuan, safely, but she was injured while giving birth to their second son, Longyuan. Due to the lack of medical care and medicine at the border, he had to report to the late emperor and ask to send his wife and children back to Beijing for recuperation.
The general who was originally stationed at the border could not return to the court easily, but because he was favored by the late emperor, he agreed without hesitation.
After returning to Beijing, he went to the palace to pay his respects to the late emperor.
The late emperor regarded him as his right-hand man and insisted on having him stay in the palace for dinner, and insisted on having a few drinks with him during the meal.
How could he not drink when the emperor personally urged him to drink?
He got drunk out of joy, so the late emperor asked him to rest in a side hall of the Taiji Palace.
Taiji Hall is where the emperor handles state affairs. It is separated from the harem where the concubines live by many palace gates. He did not have to worry about offending the concubines, so he slept peacefully.
But he never expected that when he was half asleep he would hear a woman crying in his ear!
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face!
That was his childhood sweetheart, Si Sangsang.
She was Feng Changye's mother, and later the Empress Dowager. Twenty-four years ago, she was only the late emperor's favorite Concubine Ning.
At that time, he was shocked to see the emperor's concubine running to his resting place. In order to avoid suspicion, he immediately wanted to get up and leave.
However, Si Sangsang's words made him freeze in his tracks.
"Zhu Huaining, save me! I'm possessed by a ghost, please save me!"
These words were so shocking that he suddenly turned around and looked at her!
He frowned, "Empress Ning, I don't know what you mean by this."
Si Sangsang cried and rushed over to grab his sleeve, but he dodged.
She stood there, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke, "It's true! It's true! She suddenly possessed me half a year ago, and then used her evil magic to bewitch the Emperor, causing him to fall deeply in love with her! You see, I've been in the palace for more than two years, and I've never been favored by the Emperor. But how is it that in just six months, I've suddenly been promoted from Beauty to Concubine Jieyu, then to Zhaoyi, and now even to Concubine Ning? It's because it wasn't me who bewitched the Emperor. It was that lonely ghost who was causing trouble!"
Even though Si Sangsang spoke with certainty, he still didn't believe it.
Because being possessed by a ghost is so unbelievable. He had only heard about it in stories when he was a child, but had never seen it with his own eyes!
He asked, "Since you said you were possessed by a ghost, how come you are now conscious?"
Si Sangsang grabbed his sleeve as if he had found a savior and said, "It's you! It's you!"
She exclaimed in surprise, "Just now, that lonely ghost heard that you, General Zhu, had come to the palace, and on a whim, she wanted to go to the Taiji Hall to admire your general style! Who knew that as soon as she passed your side hall, golden light shot out from the side hall, and she fainted from the golden light. Then I was able to regain control of my body!"
She said, "I knew that the golden light must have been created by you, and you would definitely be able to save me. So I used the excuse of going to the toilet, sent the palace servants away, and secretly ran to you!"
She begged with joy and despair, "Zhu Huaining, please save me. For the sake of our past relationship, please save me! If you don't save me, no one else can save me!"
The more he listened, the more ridiculous it seemed to him.
It would be fine if he was just a wandering ghost, but why did they even make up a story about him having golden light on his body?
He is not a monk, how can he be protected by Buddha's light?
He felt that she was lying, but he couldn't understand why a noble Concubine Ning would risk being discovered by the Emperor and come to him to tell him such ridiculous things. Could she be playing a trick on him?
She's not crazy.
He stared at Si Sangsang, who was in tears, for a long time and decided to take some time to check what had happened in the palace in the past six months before judging whether what she said was true or not.
Just then!
Si Sangsang suddenly swayed, as if he was about to stumble and fall.
But just when it was about to fall, the body stood up again on its own.
Very weird!
And when she raised her head again, her eyes were slightly cold, her expression was calm and her temperament was elegant. She was completely different from the frightened, timid and crying girl just now!
It's obviously the same body, but the changes before and after are so huge.
One is elegant and noble, like a solitary orchid in a valley, with a clear and spiritual spirit throughout the body.
A person covered in jewels, like a golden man, is expensive, but his temperament is very vulgar.
Only then did he finally believe Si Sangsang's words that a wandering ghost possessed her.
If the soul in her body had not changed, Si Sangsang would definitely not have such good acting skills and would never have been able to act like two completely different people in front of him.
"Who are you……"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her warily.
"Si Sang Sang."
She looked at him and nodded slightly, "But, it's not Si Sangsang from the Daning Dynasty, it's Si Sangsang from another time and space."
He was shocked and surprised to hear her being so frank!
Why didn't she hide her identity and confessed so easily?
She curled her lips and smiled, "Surprised why I'm so honest with you? If I'm not honest, won't you continue to investigate, General Zhu? She just told you about the ghost possession. If I don't tell you now, you will continue to investigate to the end."
