Chapter 124
After the Royal Ascot race ended, Ye Tianhui gained both fame and fortune, and Hell King became a hero horse in Hong Kong and returned home in glory. At this time, Hell King's value was naturally different from before. Advertisers invited Hell King and Lin Jianquan to shoot print advertisements for them, and offered them sky-high remuneration.
However, at this time, Ye Tianhui disdained to earn this money. It can be said that the combination of Hell King and Lin Jianquan has reached a certain height. Now that they have reached this height, they should not think about making a few dollars, but should climb to a higher direction.
Therefore, Ye Tianhui asked Lin Jianquan and Chen Zongwan to make time to come to the UK for training and study. As for Sun Jiajing and others, they could further study and accept more advanced professional stable management concepts.
As for Ye Tianhui herself, when she had free time, she would hang out in the university library and begin to study the porcelain plate. Apparently, this was the porcelain plate given to her by the saint back then.
She didn't know why such a familiar object appeared in this time and space, so familiar that it made her soul leave her body.
Ye Lixuan also contacted mainland archaeological experts and historians, but they did not come up with any constructive conclusions. Instead, they defined the unearthed objects as being from the Tang Dynasty, believing that they were white porcelain from the Xing kiln. They even began to verify that these white porcelains were fired during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and verified their origins between the lines of Tang Dynasty history.
Ye Tianhui was naturally disappointed when she heard this. Perhaps those people could quote classics and make far-fetched connections, dating this white porcelain pen holder back to a certain era and making the story sound reasonable, but she knew that they were on the wrong track.
That was her white porcelain pen holder, given to her by the emperor. It was made in the Kingdom of Dazhao.
However, the fact is that the history of this world is so seamless that there is no possibility of the Great Zhao Kingdom existing.
When things got to this point, Ye Tianhui was at a loss. She felt that this matter could no longer be solved by common sense. Perhaps it was a more mysterious matter.
In fact, when it comes down to it, the fact that she was able to be reborn and live in this new world with the memories of her previous life is something so mysterious that it cannot be explained by science. In this case, why does she think that she can use science to explain the existence of the Great Zhao Kingdom?
Her English level has improved a lot now, and she can understand some professional materials, so she simply looked through some foreign scientific research materials about space and time. However, she has no basic knowledge and was still confused after reading it.
And during this search, she actually found English information about Ye Lixuan, which was his research on quantum mechanics and wave functions, which actually involved parallel space.
She was extremely surprised, and in addition to being surprised, she quickly looked through Ye Lixuan's previous papers and research.
After searching high and low for something, it finally came to me. It turned out that Ye Lixuan had done in-depth research in this area. He even started publishing papers on this topic ten years ago.
I can't believe it!
She quickly looked through his latest research results, which were all in English. There were too many professional terms and it was very obscure, making it difficult for her, a layman, to understand.
After that, she looked for the traditional Chinese version and finally found it. However, she read it over and over again but still couldn't understand it.
It mentions a concept called particle duality and the double-slit experiment, which states: "When an electron is emitted and passes through two parallel slits, an interference pattern is formed, and this interference pattern shows the characteristics of a wave. However, in the process of observing the electron, we find that the electron also exhibits particle characteristics, indicating that the electron exists between two different states when passing through the double slit."
Ye Tianhui looked at these words which she did not understand at all and continued to flip through the pages. Finally, she saw that this phenomenon was called superposition and was one of the possible evidences for the existence of parallel space.
She felt like she had found a treasure, but at the same time she still didn't understand it. After hesitating for a while, she finally called Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan smiled when he received her call: "What's wrong with you lately? Why are you calling me every day?"
Ye Tianhui sighed: "Daddy, I miss you, your daughter is filial to you and called you, but you said this!"
Ye Lixuan: "Why are you so good at coaxing me all of a sudden? You never come to me for no reason. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ye Tianhui didn't beat around the bush: "Dad, you are going to the United States to attend an academic conference soon, right?"
Ye Lixuan nodded: "Yes, I was just about to go, what's wrong?"
Ye Tianhui: "I've been paying attention to you recently, and I found out that you're studying quantum mechanics. I'm quite curious and want to ask you about time and space."
Ye Lixuan on the other end of the phone was obviously silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Ye Tianhui: "Curious, I feel like my understanding of this world needs to be improved."
She had no way to explain her experience to Ye Lixuan in detail, so she had to be vague.
Fortunately, Ye Lixuan did not ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "What do you want to know?"
Ye Tianhui: "Anything is fine. I read your paper and I recognize every word, but I have no idea what they mean when combined. Can you explain it to me in a simple way? I want to know."
Ye Lixuan: "Okay, since you are interested, I will tell you about it."
As he spoke, he began to explain, "Actually, about twenty years ago, an American theoretical physicist proposed a concept to correct the wave function collapse problem of the Copenhagen interpretation. There's a concept called a wave function, and this wave function has countless possibilities. Let's use an analogy. It's like walking down a road with countless forks in the road, each leading to a different direction."
Ye Tianhui: "Now that you put it that way, I think I understand."
His paper is completely incomprehensible to laymen, but now after using figurative metaphors, it seems understandable.
Ye Lixuan: "This wave function has countless possibilities, and this theoretical physicist believes that every possibility of the wave function actually occurred. Each observation brings about a possibility, and then a universe is created. Countless universes are all around us, parallel to us, but we are unaware of it."
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she felt as if she had suddenly been enlightened. She felt that this was the answer she was looking for.
Ever since she could remember, she had been trying to explore the world and find a home for her past memories, but she had never found one. Over time, under the influence of mainland materialism, she even thought that she had had a clear and real dream, and suspected that everything was her imagination.
It was not until she went to Hong Kong and met Gu Shizhang and Teng Yunwu that she clearly understood that this was not her imagination and that everything really existed.
But all this could not be explained. She didn't know where their former Kingdom of Dazhao had gone.
Now Ye Lixuan's words provided her with a direction. Perhaps her Da Zhao Kingdom existed in a parallel universe, right next to her. She knew it, Gu Shizhang knew it, and even Teng Yunwu knew it, because they came from that parallel universe, and they fled from that parallel universe to this one.
Thinking of the familiar white porcelain pen holder, she asked, "Will there be confusion between the two parallel universes?"
Ye Lixuan: "Of course."
He sighed softly: "In fact, I happened to be studying this phenomenon in recent years."
Ye Tianhui asked anxiously, "Then what? What did you come up with?"
Ye Lixuan said: "It is true that there will be a disorder of space and time in the universe. To be precise, two parallel universes will overlap, which will cause the timeline to be distorted, or the two spaces and times to be inconsistent."
Ye Tianhui listened, feeling bewildered. However, despite this bewilderment, she quickly grasped the key point: "So, it's possible for parallel dimensions to become disrupted? Things that exist in one parallel dimension could appear in another?"
Ye Lixuan: "Yes, this is the topic I will be speaking about at the next physics conference. I have done a lot of research to prove it. If you are interested, I can fax you my paper."
************
Ye Lixuan didn't ask any unnecessary questions, but directly faxed his past research to her for her to read.
Ye Tianhui took in a lot of professional information at once, and was naturally overwhelmed.
Does her dad think that he has the same talent as him and can understand these obscure and profound advanced theoretical physics research?
Besides, she has no intention to study this.
After listening to Ye Lixuan's words, she actually had some understanding. She felt that this theory could explain her doubts. Her Da Zhao Kingdom existed in the history of another parallel space, perhaps right next to her, separated by only an invisible layer of space-time distortion, but she just couldn't see it.
Now she should be content. She has Gu Shizhang, Teng Yunwu, and these familiar objects from the past.
She had naturally thought about these things over and over again. In fact, she had also thought about talking to him frankly, the two of them chatting about their past and their views on each other.
Just taking that step seems too difficult.
In fact, at this point, she already had enough trust in him, and she also believed that the emperor who was the supreme ruler at that time would not want to take her life.
It’s just that I didn’t ask before, and I didn’t ask later, and it’s not easy to suddenly ask now.
There was a one in ten thousand chance, so she asked, and then the clock struck twelve, and the pumpkin carriage finally disappeared, never to be seen again, and the happiness they once had was no more.
She wasn't willing to take the risk.
So in the next few days, she was still hesitant. Occasionally, when they had dinner together in the morning, or when he worked hard in the field and the hot sweat dripped on her neck at night, she always had an urge to ask, but in the end she didn't.
Until this day, after playing with the porcelain for a while, she finally put it aside and stayed to read a book and look up information. This time the school assigned her a case study assignment, and there would be a group discussion tomorrow, so she had to organize the information first.
The rain continued for several days in a row. She sat in the study, tidying up quietly.
After she had been tidying for a long while, when she was finally done, she looked up and saw that the rain had stopped outside, the dark clouds had dispersed, and above the church in the distance was a cloud floating. It was white, large and soft, and it made the sky after the rain look bright and blue.
And right next to the shutters, a slender figure sat at the tea table. He held the white porcelain pen holder in both hands, looking at it carefully with his eyes lowered.
The setting sun is golden, reflecting through the rain-stained stained glass windows, giving the terrace a layer of brilliant color in the evening.
Ye Tianhui was slightly stunned.
Then, her heart racing, she realized what he was looking at.
Then in an instant, even the floating dust in the sunlight became quiet, and the invisible sense of oppression made her unable to breathe.
At this time, Gu Shizhang raised his eyes and looked over.
In the damp and brilliant light of the evening, the two people's eyes met.
They looked at each other without any obstruction, and then they saw into each other's heart and into the depths of each other's soul.
So he knew it was her, and she knew it was him.
No one can hide their thoughts at this moment.
Ye Tianhui suddenly didn't know what to do with herself. She had forgotten what she was like in her previous life and couldn't find it back. She also didn't know how to pick up the mask she once wore.
She was so speechless that she could only stand there staring at him.
She suddenly became afraid. Due to the distortion of time and space and the dislocation of identities, the two of them had entered into a relationship that was absolutely impossible to achieve. She didn't know whether what awaited her was to be torn to pieces and there would be no return.
She didn't even know what to say or how to deal with the new relationship between the two of them.
Gu Shizhang obviously realized it as well.
He put down the porcelain plate with a very light movement, and then he walked towards her.
During this process, his eyes were always fixed on hers and never left hers.
His footsteps were light, his eyes were particularly gentle, and even his breathing was very light, as if the slightest bit of breathing would scare her.
Then he stood in front of her, looking down at her.
Ye Tianhui felt dizzy. The man in front of her was Gu Shizhang, but not entirely. At this moment, the powerful majesty of the former emperor was overwhelming.
She wasn't afraid of him, but she was hiding from the part of herself that had vanished.
But Gu Shizhang would not allow her to escape.
I have been avoiding this for a long time, and these words are the distance between the two of us.
He looked into her eyes and extended his hand to her: "Huihui."
When Ye Tianhui heard this voice, her eyes instantly became moist.
She looked at the man in front of her and felt that his eyes embraced everything and could see through everything.
Under the gaze of such a pair of eyes, she had no way of escaping because he could easily see through her.
So she asked, "Whose name are you calling?"
Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and smiled gently and knowingly: "Of course I'm calling you, it's always been yours, Huihui."
Ye Tianhui: "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"
Gu Shizhang: "Yes, I knew it from the first moment I saw you."
Ye Tianhui: "Why don't you ever say it?"
Gu Shizhang: "You don't want to, right? If you don't want to mention it, then I won't mention it."
So he also thought that they would never mention it and would keep this secret to themselves for the rest of their lives.
But when he saw the porcelain plate today, he couldn't help but think of many things in the past, so at this moment when their eyes met, he finally couldn't suppress the familiarity flowing in his eyes.
He held Ye Tianhui's hand: "No matter what, we won't change, right?"
Ye Tianhui nodded: "Yes, I don't want to mention this."
Gu Shizhang then exerted force and held her in his arms: "I know, okay, let's not talk about it later."
Ye Tianhui leaned in his arms, absorbing his breath.
She closed her eyes and murmured, "You, when did you know?"
Gu Shizhang pondered for a moment and said, "You don't like it, and I don't want to speculate. It wasn't until the closing ceremony of the Royal Ascot that day that I met Zhou Wanlan, and she chatted with me for a few words."
Ye Tianhui suddenly understood: "What did she say?"
When she met Zhou Wanlan in Yuen Long before, she had laid a foreshadowing with Zhou Wanlan. In fact, she had thought at that time that maybe one day Zhou Wanlan would ask about it, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon.
Gu Shizhang hugged her, buried his face in her hair, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, she asked me if I had known you a long time ago, if I had loved you a long time ago, and I told her yes."
Ye Tianhui moved slightly.
Gu Shizhang's powerful fingers gently pressed down on her lower back, and then he whispered, "Huihui, don't move. Listen to me."
Ye Tianhui was silent for a moment before finally saying, "Okay."
Gu Shizhang held her in his arms, pressing her head against his chest, and then he said, "When you were in trouble at the border, there happened to be unrest in the court, so the news was delayed."
When he said this, Ye Tianhui felt that something that had been floating in the air had finally landed on the ground.
In fact, she had guessed it to some extent, thinking that it might be like this, but she was not sure, and she always had a one-tenth of worry.
Gu Shizhang continued, "When I quelled the war and headed to the border, the border town had already been destroyed. I searched for you for a long time and tried every possible way to find you."
Ye Tianhui trembled when she heard him say this.
The answer is so simple.
Although there must be countless complicated situations and changes involved, she didn't need him to explain it in detail. As long as he told her that he didn't mean it, she would believe it at that moment.
Then she could finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart for so long.
Gu Shizhang said: "I will tell you about all this in detail if you want to know."
Ye Tianhui lowered her eyes and shook her head tiredly: "No, I don't want to know. This has nothing to do with me. What you have told me now is enough."
Gu Shizhang: "A lot of things happened here, a lot of complicated things, some things I can't explain myself. I always thought you would know, but then when I first met you, I realized that you didn't know, so I never mentioned it to you."
Ye Tianhui raised her head and looked at Gu Shizhang blankly: "What are you talking about? What do you mean?"
Gu Shizhang lowered his eyes, his gaze full of pity and love.
His slender fingers gently cupped Ye Tianhui's face: "These things are very complicated. I will explain them to you slowly and bit by bit. We have plenty of time."
************
Gu Shizhang told Ye Tianhui a story, a very long but mysterious story.
He told her about the Great Zhao Kingdom and their later life, which she had never participated in, and neither had he.
Gu Shizhang hugged her and whispered, "This is hard to explain, but from the moment you jumped into the sea, you—"
He tried to explain it in more common language: "At the moment when time and space intersect, there are two possibilities in this world."
Ye Tianhui understood: "One is our original one, the one from our Dazhao Kingdom, and the other is our current one."
Gu Shizhang: "That's probably it."
He further explained: "In fact, I have been to the mainland and have also searched for relevant relics. In recent years, the mainland's policies have been better than before, and I have been in contact with relevant archaeological staff."
Ye Tianhui: "And then?"
Gu Shizhang: "I've collected a lot of information and confirmed that there are indeed several objects that have inexplicably flowed into our world, but our former Great Zhao Kingdom does not exist in current history."
Ye Tianhui thought about Ye Lixuan's words, she tried hard to digest them, and felt that she had roughly figured it out.
Therefore, the original Dazhao Kingdom and where she is now are in two different time and space, which leads to two different possibilities.
She thought for a long time, and finally asked, "Which dynasty in the world today do you think our dynasty is similar to?"
Gu Shizhang: "I've analyzed that our dynasty might be the Tang Dynasty in a parallel dimension."
Ye Tianhui: "It seems so, somewhat similar."
As she thought about this, she suddenly remembered something and looked at him in confusion: "Then why are you here?"
She jumped into the sea, and at that moment time and space were distorted. She did not die, but had two different possible lives. But why was he there too? He did not jump into the sea. How could it be such a coincidence that he happened to appear in the time and space where she was.
Hearing this, Gu Shizhang curled his lips and chuckled.
Afterwards, he whispered, "Maybe I couldn't bear to leave you alone in this strange world, so I traveled for a long time and found you."
Ye Tianhui looked at him blankly for a long time, and finally she understood: "I think I understand."
The reason he appeared here was because he followed himself.
He had come to find her.
Gu Shizhang: "Buddha has hundreds of thousands of incarnations, responding to circumstances. I have traveled through countless worlds and finally found you here."
He looked at her, his eyes filled with the tenderness of someone who had experienced countless reincarnations: "So I have the me you see now."
