Chapter 185 Concubine Yuan's Problem
Zhao Xiaokun returned to Concubine Yuan's place and had the housekeeper prepare a table of food and wine. Zhao Xiaokun filled his own glass, and Concubine Yuan asked, "Husband, why did you set out so much food? Today isn't a festival, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xiaokun helped Concubine Yuan sit down and said, "My wife, I have something to tell you today. I must discuss this with you!"
Concubine Yuan asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhang told me about your condition. You are in danger now. There is a risk of postpartum hemorrhage!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
When Concubine Yuan heard this, her face changed a little, and she asked hurriedly: "Does Mr. Zhang have any solution?" Concubine Yuan asked anxiously.
"Don't worry! There is a way! It just depends on what you choose." Zhao Xiaokun said, holding Concubine Yuan's hand.
Concubine Yuan felt a sense of warmth and comfort from the warmth coming from Zhao Xiaokun's hand. She asked, "Then my husband, please tell me a solution!"
"The first thing is to not have this child for now and take good care of your health. You and I are both young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to have children in the future." Zhao Xiaokun said.
"No! I'm not young anymore! This child is very important to me! Mr. Zhang is such a skilled doctor, is there no other way?" Concubine Yuan obviously could not accept the result of miscarriage.
"Yes! But you are going to a place where the medical conditions are better than here, but they are afraid that you can't adapt? So you need to make a choice!" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"How can it compare to Nanjing?" asked Concubine Yuan.
"This is where Xiaofei and I came from!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"South Australia?" asked Concubine Yuan.
"Yes!" Zhao Xiaokun affirmed.
"Nan'ao Country is thousands of miles away from Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid that you and I will never meet again in the future! Are you going to abandon me, my husband?" Concubine Yuan asked Zhao Xiaokun.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Xiaokun said.
"Then what should I think?" Concubine Yuan was a little angry. She felt that Zhao Xiaokun was disgusted with her. Why had she been so blinded by greed and followed him?
Zhao Xiaokun laughed and said, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm going to be unfaithful? Am I that kind of person?"
Concubine Yuan pouted and said, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not! South Australia is far away but it is also right in front of us! If you go to South Australia, I can see you every few days!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Yuan said angrily.
"Don't be angry, I have a secret to tell you!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
When Concubine Yuan heard that he was going to tell her a secret, she knew that it meant that she still had a place in her husband's heart. She wanted to see what he would say, so she said, "Then tell me!"
"Actually, Xiaofei and I come from a world more than 370 years from now. It's not some South Australia country!" After Zhao Xiaokun finished speaking, Concubine Yuan was stunned on the spot.
Zhao Xiaokun continued to explain: "It means that you are more than 370 years older than me. When we came here, the Ming Dynasty had already been destroyed!"
"What? Is there such a strange thing in the world?" Concubine Yuan obviously didn't believe it.
"As long as you agree, I will let Xiaofei take us back tomorrow!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaokun didn't seem to be pretending, Concubine Yuan asked, "Since you are from the future, you must know my final outcome!"
"You were stabbed by Emperor Chongzhen, and later rescued and handed over to the Jin Kingdom. You died this year due to depression and injuries!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"What do you mean I was captured?" Concubine Yuan's focus was indeed different. She cared more about her reputation, and she was actually handed over to the Jianlu.
"Yes! According to the original history, you are already dead!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"What happened next?" asked Concubine Yuan.
"That was even more tragic! Later, Prince Fu Zhu Yousong established the Hongguang regime in Nanjing with the support of Qian Qianyi and others. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Qing Dynasty within a year." Zhao Xiaokun said.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yuan asked, "Has the Qing Dynasty taken over the world?"
"Yes! The Manchus finally took control of the Central Plains and established the Qing Dynasty. They also required all Han people to shave their heads, serve and dress the same as them! They also put forward the slogan of 'keep your hair and lose your head, keep your head and lose your hair'! Later, for the sake of hair, the people of the Ming Dynasty fought one after another. In order to rule this place, the Jianlu implemented a policy of killing everyone. Later, the Ten Days of Yangzhou and the Three Massacres of Jiading became the eternal pain in the hearts of the Han people." Zhao Xiaokun said.
Concubine Yuan opened her mouth wide, truly unable to believe how much more was to come. She felt sad for the fall of the Han dynasty. She felt she couldn't accept even the likes of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong becoming emperors, but this ending was too unexpected. It was too tragic.
Concubine Yuan asked, "Why didn't you help the emperor? Why didn't you help him consolidate his rule?" After saying this, Concubine Yuan felt a little regretful. This question made it seem like she was still obsessed with Chongzhen. She lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed. Zhao Xiaokun certainly noticed. But he didn't dwell on the question. After all, Chongzhen was dead, and no one could take Concubine Yuan away from him.
Zhao Xiaokun said, "We helped! The plague was one of the biggest culprits, but we tried our best. Although the plague was temporarily suppressed, it was also the reason for the final change of leadership in the Ming Dynasty. We tried our best! And we are relatives by marriage!"
Concubine Yuan certainly understood that in the Ming Dynasty, relatives by marriage were not allowed to interfere in state affairs. She was afraid that relatives by marriage would monopolize power. So Concubine Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "When can I go? How long will it take for you to come back to see me?"
Concubine Yuan was eager to see how much had changed over the past century, and Zhao Xiaokun, who was obedient and listened carefully, could tell that Concubine Yuan was planning to go. So, he said, "Let's go back together tomorrow. I go back for about 10 days every month. If I'm busy, I'll probably only go for three or four days!"
"If it's not good, can I come back?" asked Concubine Yuan.
"Of course! You are my wife. If you can't adapt after giving birth, you can come back!" Zhao Xiaokun said.
The next day, Zhao Xiaofei came to his elder brother's place. When Zhao Xiaofei saw his elder brother, he asked, "Brother, what does my sister-in-law think?"
Zhao Xiaokun took Concubine Yuan's hand and said, "Go over there and give birth to the child first. If she doesn't adapt, bring her back."
Zhao Xiaofei said to Concubine Yuan again: "Sister-in-law, have you made up your mind?"
Concubine Yuan nodded and held Zhao Xiaokun's hand tightly again.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaofei sighed inwardly: It seems that only Concubine Yuan is Big Brother's true love! Wu Sanmei can't help it. Liu Rushi is just fond of her, not true love. It's good. Anyway, the three of them despise each other. With Big Brother gone, it will be quieter here. Liu Rushi looks down on Wu Sanmei, thinking that she is the sister of a traitor. Concubine Yuan looks down on Liu Rushi, thinking that she is a prostitute and can't be compared with her.
"Okay! Prepare the carriage!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
So, the three of them, with Xiao Si personally driving the carriage, went to the warehouse of the Zhao family manor outside the city. When they arrived, Zhao Xiaofei had the Kenan Army guard the place. After the three of them entered, Zhao Xiaofei personally closed the door. Zhao Xiaofei said to Concubine Yuan, "Sister-in-law! When you get there, don't say you're from the Ming Dynasty. Say you've lost your memory! I'll find a way to find you a new identity!"
