Chapter 156 Past events
If it were before, Jiang Wenjin would never have been unaware of Zhan Sijing, and he would never have said such a thing.
This can only mean one thing: Jiang Wenjin has also been reborn after Ye Qingzhu.
Or perhaps Jiang Wenjin remembered something that happened in his past life; it couldn't possibly be an accident.
Ye Qingwu suddenly felt that more and more doubts were emerging about the matter. After what had happened, Ye Qingzhu could be said to be completely ruined, but she never expected that Jiang Wenjin would be reborn at this time.
Even the legendary imperial advisor appeared. The fact that so many things could happen at the same time can only mean that something is about to happen.
And it's definitely not a trivial matter.
Jiang Wenjin received no response from Ye Qingwu, so he looked around and almost cried out when he saw Wang Shi lying not far away.
"Mother!"
Seeing that no one paid any attention, Jiang Wenjin shouted in Ye Qingwu's direction again, "Ye Qingwu, what are you waiting for? Quickly help your mother up."
Jiang Wenjin's action stunned everyone present.
"Jiang Wenjin, this is the Regent's Consort. Who gave you the audacity to speak like this?"
One of the guards spoke first, rebuking Jiang Wenjin.
"The Regent's Consort?" Jiang Wenjin, who was already injured, coughed violently after hearing the guard's words.
After a long pause, he finally said, "What are you saying? This is clearly my wife."
"He's gone mad, I think Jiang Wenjin has completely lost his mind." Ye Yuanfeng was also shocked by the scene before him.
Zhan Sijing's gaze was icy, but Ye Qingwu smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Imperial Advisor and the Seventh Prince are here to handle things. Shall we go back?"
"it is good."
After hearing Ye Qingwu's words, Zhan Sijing's eyes finally warmed up.
Ye Qingwu looked at Ye Qingzhu, who was lying unconscious on the ground. It seemed that she was in for a rough time.
Ultimately, it was all his own doing, so who can he blame for the final outcome?
“This regent’s wife is truly extraordinary.”
The Imperial Advisor looked in the direction Ye Qingwu had left and said.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Preceptor, may not know this, but it was the Imperial Aunt who broke the curse on the Imperial Uncle. I heard that she also knows medicine. Last time in the village, she only used a few talismans and said something that made the strange phenomena around us completely disappear, so that everyone was safe."
Zhan Chenyi sighed as he saw the Imperial Preceptor mention Ye Qingwu.
"It seems that a lot has happened while I was away from the capital."
The Imperial Advisor narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying a hint of something intriguing.
On the way back to the carriage, Ye Qingwu felt that Zhan Sijing's gaze had been fixed on her ever since.
She looked at the person beside her and asked, "Your Highness, is there something you wish to ask?"
"Hmm." Zhan Sijing nodded, but hesitated when he met Ye Qingwu's gaze.
Seeing this, Ye Qingwu could roughly guess what Zhan Sijing wanted to ask.
"Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, you want to ask about Jiang Wenjin, right?"
Zhan Sijing remained silent.
Judging from Ye Qingwu's previous laissez-faire attitude towards Ye Qingzhu, although he did not take action on these matters, he did send people to investigate the situation.
The result was that Ye Qingzhu had mentioned to the people of the Duke's Mansion that Jiang Wenjin would definitely become the top scholar in the imperial examination.
Furthermore, the strange things Ye Qingzhu said to Ye Qingwu already indicated a difference.
But Ye Qingzhu was one thing; he knew that if his princess wanted to deal with her, it would be a piece of cake.
Now, Jiang Wenjin is the same. What he finds most unacceptable is that Jiang Wenjin actually treats his princess as his wife.
During this process, Ye Qingwu's attitude became even stranger.
Her way of addressing Jiang Wenjin was neither strange nor suspicious, as if Ye Qingwu knew what had happened from the very beginning.
This feeling gave Zhan Sijing a sense of impending loss and panic.
It was as if Ye Qingwu was right in front of him, yet the distance between them was vast.
"Your Highness, do you want to know the truth?"
Ye Qingwu asked Zhan Sijing, thinking that now there was no need to hide anything anymore.
"Would the princess be willing to tell me?"
Zhan Sijing did not nod, but asked Ye Qingwu in an inquiring tone.
Ye Qingwu was taken aback, as if Zhan Sijing would stop asking if she said she was unwilling now.
He's always like this...
Ye Qingwu sighed softly.
"In fact, both Ye Qingzhu and Jiang Wenjin were reborn with memories of their previous lives."
"With memories from your past life?" Zhan Sijing was shocked.
Was his so-called rebirth a chance to relive his life as he imagined? But it sounds absurd no matter how you look at it.
He would never believe it if someone else told him this.
But the person who said these words was Ye Qingwu.
He knew Ye Qingwu's abilities even better, and at this moment, she had no reason to lie to him.
After a brief silence, Zhan Sijing spoke.
"Could it be that Ye Qingzhu's reason for the arranged marriage was this?"
Ye Qingwu nodded, somewhat amazed by Zhan Sijing's understanding.
I never expected that just mentioning something related to rebirth would lead him to think of a marriage exchange.
"Just as Your Highness thought, Ye Qingzhu actually married Your Highness in her previous life, while I married Jiang Wenjin. However, due to the curse, Ye Qingzhu died within seven days of marrying into the Prince's mansion."
"Jiang Wenjin later became the top scholar in the imperial examination and rose to the position of Grand Secretary."
"As for how Ye Qingzhu knew what happened next, it was because she became a wandering spirit after her death."
"Your Highness, I think you can understand my explanation."
"And now Jiang Wenjin is clearly thinking about his past life."
"Your Highness, what about you?"
Zhan Sijing looked at her and suddenly asked.
It seemed as if they were waiting for Ye Qingwu's answer.
"Me?" Ye Qingwu was taken aback, then asked Zhan Sijing again, "Your Highness, are you trying to ask if I, like them, was also reborn?"
Zhan Sijing gently agreed. Regarding what Ye Qingwu had said, he felt more envy and even jealousy towards Jiang Wenjin.
His queen...
“I’m not,” Ye Qingwu said to Zhan Sijing.
Compared to being reborn, she was momentarily unsure whether to tell Zhan Sijing about transmigrating into the book.
If we're talking about rebirth, for the person involved, it's just about starting over with their memories. But transmigrating into a book is, in a sense, negating everything.
Denying everything, everything becomes nothingness in that moment.
Who can accept that they are merely something that doesn't exist, something that is only depicted in fragments of words?
Seeing Ye Qingwu pause in her speech, Zhan Sijing felt a vague unease.
"Your Highness, let's leave it at that. Even if you're reborn, it's all in the past, right?" Zhan Sijing asked this question with a sudden sense of unease.
