Chapter 76 Confession
Wen Yingxue woke up from the darkness in a daze, feeling aches all over her body and a strange, salty taste in her mouth.
"Xue'er, are you awake?" Wen Yingxue opened her eyes and saw Nie Chubai looking at her in surprise beside the bed.
Nie Chubai's face was pale, and his eyes were dark circles. It was obvious that he hadn't slept for many days. Wen Yingxue smiled at him weakly, and then Nie Chubai hugged her tightly.
Wen Yingxue didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt a drop of cold water on her neck.
"I'm fine." Wen Yingxue said.
Nie Chubai moved his head and rubbed Wen Yingxue's cheek, like a spoiled dog: "Next time, don't block for me again. Because to me, you are the most important."
Wen Yingxue blinked twice and nodded.
Suddenly, Wen Yingxue seemed to remember something and asked Nie Chubai, "Where's Feng Yi? Where did he go?"
Nie Chubai frowned and said, "He's gone."
Wen Yingxue immediately struggled to get up and asked anxiously, "Gone? Where did he go? Did he say anything?"
Nie Chubai hurriedly held Wen Yingxue down and said, "He left a letter for you."
"Bring it here quickly."
Seeing that Wen Yingxue looked very concerned and nervous, Nie Chubai reluctantly took out the letter Feng Yiming gave him and handed it to Wen Yingxue.
When she opened the letter, there was only one sentence on it. After reading it, Wen Yingxue was so angry that her nose was crooked.
"My dear daughter, now is not the time to meet. I, Dad, will go out and have some fun for a while. Don't look for me!" The flamboyant simplified Chinese characters were definitely the handwriting of Wen Yingxue's father, Wen Qi.
"Where did that old guy go? Did he say anything else to you?" Wen Yingxue said angrily. Her father clearly knew her identity, so why didn't he tell her?
Is it fun to beat around the bush and play tricks on her?
Nie Chubai said, "Ten days have passed since you were poisoned and fell into a coma. Your condition was very critical at the time, and it was Feng Yi who used all his internal energy to suppress the spread of the poison in your body.
This gave Guan Ziming the opportunity to help you detoxify. Later, Feng Yi personally removed the poison for you."
There was one more thing Nie Chubai didn't say. After clearing the poison from Wen Yingxue's body, half of Feng Yi's hair had turned white.
"I understand." Wen Yingxue said. Since her father didn't recognize her now, there must be some special reason.
Now that she knew her father had also come into this world and that the father and daughter could meet again, Wen Yingxue felt very happy.
Nie Chubai forcibly turned her face back, but Wen Yingxue was still a little confused, and the smile on the corner of her mouth had not disappeared.
"What's wrong?"
Nie Chubai asked, "Shouldn't you fulfill the promise you made to me?"
Wen Yingxue pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you still remember what Master Yuan said when I first met him?"
Nie Chubai nodded.
Wen Yingxue said, "That was indeed Wen Yingxue's fate, to die young. If I hadn't come."
"What do you mean?" Nie Chubai asked, not quite understanding.
"I'm not the original Wen Yingxue. The original Wen Yingxue was already dead when I came into this world.
To be more precise, I came into this world as a reborn spirit." Wen Yingxue said to Nie Chubai.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while. After a long time, Nie Chubai reached out and touched Wen Yingxue's head, and then touched his own.
"You don't have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Wen Yingxue rolled her eyes, slapped Nie Chubai's hand away, and said, "I don't have a fever, and I'm not talking nonsense. Everything I said is true."
Looking at Wen Yingxue's serious expression, Nie Chubai couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Haven't you always been curious about why I can predict the future and know certain things? That's because, in my world, you, Wen Yingxue, Ye Junyan, Lin Youwan, all of you, are characters in a picture book."
Nie Chubai frowned: "You mean, we are just characters in the book?"
Wen Yingxue nodded: "If I hadn't come here, the ending would be that Wen Yingxue married Ye Junyan as a concubine, and then during childbirth, she was killed and both died.
And your end was that the Eighth Prince was defeated, and you led everyone from the Killing Heaven Pavilion to come and massacre the entire Ye family.
Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan escaped, and you later died at their hands."
Nie Chubai remained silent. Wen Yingxue tugged at his clothes and asked pitifully, "If I tell you everything now, will you think I'm a monster and stop liking me?"
Nie Chubai shook his head and said, "No, I was just thinking about something."
Wen Yingxue was curious: "What?"
"I want to crawl out, find the author you're talking about, and beat the crap out of her."
"Why?"
Nie Chubai said, "She wrote about me so badly, I want to settle the score with her."
Wen Yingxue nodded and said, "I support you! But if my experience of traveling through this book is also a novel, then you should thank the author."
"Thank her for what?"
"Thank her for giving me to you. This way you won't be alone anymore."
Nie Chubai and Wen Yingxue looked at each other and both smiled.
"Yes, you are right."
After a while, Wen Yingxue suddenly looked up and asked, "Are Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan dead?"
Nie Chubai shook his head and said, "I was so flustered at the time that I was only focused on taking care of you. Senior Feng Yi's attention was also completely on you, so I let those two get away."
Wen Yingxue sighed, she knew it would be like this. As expected, the protagonist would not die so easily.
"What happened to the treasure in the Eagle King's Tomb?" Wen Yingxue asked again.
Hearing this, Nie Chubai sighed softly and said rather unhappily, "I finally understand why the fifth prince in the book succeeded in becoming emperor. It's because he's really thick-skinned."
After knowing that Ye Junyan and Lin Youwan had failed, Qi Yan immediately told the emperor the news that Nie Chubai had obtained the Eagle King's Tomb.
Now this batch of gold, silver and treasures can no longer be used and must all be handed over to the emperor to fill the national treasury.
Wen Yingxue sneered and said, "What do you mean by shameless? He has a very good plan. He has already given the emperor a slow-acting poison. In about two months, the current emperor will be dead, and he has cut the Gordian knot and directly proclaimed himself emperor."
The treasures of the Eagle King's Tomb, whether in his hands or in the national treasury, will still be his in due time."
Nie Chubai immediately stood up and said, "No wonder the Eighth Prince has sent several people to urge me to return. It seems he has heard about this and knows that the situation is difficult."
In the original text, the emperor died of poisoning on the eighth day of the first lunar month of the following year. The next day, the fifth prince ascended the throne, and the first thing he did was to punish the eighth prince and his group.
Wen Yingxue said, "We have a great advantage now. Lin Youwan only knows that I traveled through time and space, but doesn't know that I traveled from a book. Therefore, we can strike first and set a trap for them in the capital to kill them."
