When Jiaojiao heard this, she tried hard to hold back from jumping up!
Past life and present life?
"Brother Emperor, why do you say that?"
Jiaojiao suppressed the fear in her heart and tried her best to make her voice sound normal.
After Shen Yuanzhan was silent for a few breaths, he suddenly shook his head and laughed. Even he felt that this question was too ridiculous.
But now that he had spoken, he didn't want to hide anything from Jiaojiao.
"After Zhen'er was born, I took him to see my father. Although my father is no longer in good health, he looks much older."
"Zhen'er is the eldest grandson of the emperor. I want to let my father meet him no matter what."
"When the emperor saw Zhen'er, his expression was very strange. He asked me Zhen'er's name, and I told him the truth. Suddenly, the emperor was stunned. He leaned softly on the couch, and suddenly tears flowed. He looked very desperate."
"I vaguely heard my father muttering absentmindedly: Could that dream be true?"
"This reminds me of Huang Pei's report that my father was always haunted by the same nightmare and kept talking in his sleep."
"I had doubts in my mind, so I chose to watch over my father several times when he was asleep. I finally pieced together a complete dream piece by piece."
Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered that she had given Xiaosi a "Dream Weaving Talisman", which contained the plot of the original novel, including the tragic endings of their Qiao family, the prince, Xiaosi, the queen, and Zhener.
It seems that Xiao Si was still used by Emperor Yong at that time.
Emperor Yong saw the unborn Zhen'er in his dream and also knew Zhen'er's fate of dying young.
Emperor Yong thought it was just a dream, but now Zhen'er's birth seems to prove the reality of the dream.
Jiaojiao was a little stunned. She was just thinking at that time that Emperor Yong should know what a huge mistake he had made, which caused the Queen and her mother and son to die tragically and the entire Qiao family to be wiped out.
But he didn't expect that this action at the beginning would lay such a big foreshadowing, and even let Shen Yuanzhan get a glimpse of the original work!
At this moment, Shen Yuanzhan was already immersed in his own thoughts.
"Jiaojiao, in my father's dream, Xiao Si drowned in Yuhua Lake, and I drank the poisoned wine with hatred in the portrait disaster because of my second brother's frame-up. This is exactly what Meng Guxue predicted!"
"I didn't dare to think deeply before, but when I realized that my father had seen the unborn Zhen'er in his dream, I suddenly realized that the tragic ending was our previous life."
"Those things may have really happened, but in this life, everything is different."
There was a hint of sob in Shen Yuanzhan's voice, and no one knew how grateful he was in his heart.
The turning point of everything was Xiao Si’s birthday. No, maybe even earlier, it started from the moment Di Zaiying was captured in the study!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanzhan looked down at Jiaojiao in his arms, his heart filled with gratitude that could not be expressed in words.
"Jiaojiao, I also heard about the end of the Qiao family in my father's dream. All of us will not have a good death."
"I think that everything changed because of your appearance. You were born in the Qiao family and changed the fate of everyone in the Qiao family. The loyalty of the Qiao family also changed the endings of me, Xiao Si, and my mother step by step."
"Jiaojiao, even today, looking back on the past, I still can't help but feel a little scared."
"This journey is linked to each other, as if each of us is doing our best to fight against the so-called 'previous life' and the so-called 'fate'. If we take a wrong step, we may be doomed."
"Fortunately, we have come this far."
There was a hint of moisture in Shen Yuanzhan's words. After learning about his father's dream, even he was in a trance for a long time.
Sometimes, when he thinks back on it, he can't help but doubt whether everything he has today is real.
Every time this happened, he would look around.
The gentle queen mother, the beloved Lan'er, the lively Xiaosi, the well-behaved Zhen'er, the loyal Qiao family, and the reassuring Jiaojiao.
All of them were by his side, so vivid and real that they gave him an infinite sense of security.
The recent Wuding epidemic has made him more aware of the mission and responsibility of a king. While in office, he must seek the welfare of the people of the world and the well-being of the people of Yong Dynasty!
"Jiaojiao, I have no more doubts in my heart. I am speaking frankly today just because I hope Jiaojiao will not feel any burden."
"It is our fortune for the Qiao family and the Yong Dynasty to have you. I am so grateful to you. I will never doubt that we will be kings and ministers in this life."
"My second brother Shen Yuanbai wants to see you. I think he is so smart that he will definitely be able to see your peculiarity."
"Jiaojiao, do whatever you want to do. Brother Emperor will pave the way for you."
"But there is one thing, brother hopes Jiaojiao can understand, no matter what Jiaojiao wants to do, she must put her own safety first."
"You have to know that losing you is the most unbearable pain for all of us."
At this point, Shen Yuanzhan had spoken from the bottom of his heart without reservation.
Before Jiaojiao entered the palace, she had never thought that she would have such a heart-to-heart conversation with Shen Yuanzhan today.
Every word is precious and full of concern.
Kind, wise, gentle, and resolute, as a young emperor and as a brother, Shen Yuanzhan is perfect.
Jiaojiao couldn't describe her feelings at the moment.
She has been pursuing truth and freedom. She thought she still had a long way to go, but it turned out that everyone around her had already quietly freed themselves from "constraints" and lived their truest lives.
Who else?
The Empress Dowager, Sister Lan, Xiao Si, Mother, Sister-in-law, and even Emperor Yong, and maybe more.
Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with tears.
While she was working hard to change the plot and everyone's destiny, everyone was also protecting her, pampering and indulging her.
Everyone knew that she was "strange", but they all kept silent just to make her feel comfortable.
In this scene of traveling through the book, it is hard to tell who is saving whom.
When she was a little girl living in an orphanage, she had wished for a home again and again, and now her wish has come true.
This is her home, full of people she loves and people who love her.
"Brother Emperor, Jiaojiao will spare no effort to protect me, because I want to be with you all for a long time, forever!"
"As for the North, I will go there when the time is right. Otherwise, if Shen Yuanbai asks me to go, I will go. That would be so embarrassing!"
Shen Yuanzhan's brows relaxed when he heard that, a smile bloomed on his face, and he suddenly stood up holding Jiaojiao.
"Okay, let's do something else first."
Jiaojiao tilted her head in confusion, "What are you busy with?"
Shen Yuanzhan glanced behind him and said loudly:
"Xiao Si has known all this for a long time. That kid is so cunning. For Jiaojiao, he even lied and concealed the truth. Brother is going to spank him now. Jiaojiao, are you going?"
Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Go! I want to see Xiao Si crying after being beaten! Give Xiao Si a complete childhood!"
Xiao Si who was secretly watching from a distance: ""
Sister Qiao, who am I lying to?
Without warning, Shen Yuanzhan turned around holding Jiaojiao, and Xiao Si suddenly felt a hair on his back.
Jiaojiao was sharp-eyed and spotted Xiao Si's figure. She quickly shouted, "Emperor brother! Xiao Si is there! His butt is there!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Si quickly covered his face and ran away, so ashamed!
When Shen Yuanzhan saw this, he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and his voice was extremely hearty.
When Grandpa Liufu outside the courtyard heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The sudden outbreak of an epidemic in Wuding has made His Majesty frown for some time, but today he finally smiles.
Otherwise, the news would spread all over the capital. After all, Princess Yongle has the most face!
