Chapter 824: Reincarnation!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Another day pa.s.sed after the execution. Prince Huai followed the procedure and came to the palace to report to the Consort Dowager.
In the royal study, Prince Huai gave the original owner three instructions.
First, he would transcribe Su Ji’s poem and give it to the original owner, and let the original owner publish it under the name of the Consort Dowager.
Although Zhou Zicheng was dead, he still had to prevent others from claiming his results.
Secondly, it was about Wu Zhu’er’s punishment of swallowing a thousand needles.
Third, he applied for a transfer order. In the days to come, he would leave the capital and lead troops to guard the border.
The original owner could not keep up.
Initially, she was filled with doubts when she heard the first thing. However, after hearing the next two things, she felt that the first thing was the most normal.
And because Prince Huai was going to the border, the execution of Wu Zhu’er had to be carried out by the original owner.
Swallowing a thousand needles…
The original owner opened her mouth and blinked.
She had successfully persuaded Prince Huai to change his mind the last time.
This time, she also probed, “well, Wu Zh ‘er is my personal maid after all. Prince Huai, don’t you think that swallowing a thousand needles is a little…”
“I don’t think so.”
But this time, before she could finish her sentence, Prince Huai vetoed her mercilessly.
What the original owner did not know was that this decision was made by Su Ji, so no one could change it.
The original owner seemed to be facing a great enemy, but after some thought, she agreed.
The original owner had no intention of persuading Prince Huai to stay. It was not that she did not want to. If Prince Huai could stay in the court, he would definitely be the best right-hand man. However, the original owner knew that she did not have the ability to do so.
He said that he was here to report to her, but in fact, he was clearly here to a.s.sign her a mission!
The original punching bag endured it.
She glanced at Prince Huai, who had been wearing a mask all this while. After a few seconds, she looked at him again.
Ever since she came to the Great Shang, she had never seen Prince Huai’s true appearance. He had always been wearing a mask.
In the past, she did not find it strange. She was just afraid of him. However, after going to the modern world and coming back, the original owner felt it…
“I know who you are.” The original owner raised her hand, and her expression was a little crafty when she spoke.
If Su Ji was a thousand-year-old seductive fox demon in Qing Qiu, then the original owner was a little fox that.
Prince Huai didn’t respond to her, still cold and aloof.
But even without his answer, the original owner knew what was going on.
Prince Huai and the Consort Dowager’s boyfriend in the modern world…were similarly cold.
The news that Prince Huai had requested to guard the border quickly spread.
Si Zhengliang, w.a.n.g Bin…and the ministers all requested to meet the original owner and ask her to take back her orders.
The reason was the same. The imperial court could not do without Prince Huai, and sending him to the border was a waste of talent.
How could the original owner not know the pros and cons? However, the original owner also knew that she was not the Consort Dowager, and Prince Huai would not stay behind to a.s.sist her.
Prince Huai had been transferred to the extremely cold land at the border, and he had no intention of returning.
For the rest of his life.
The Consort Dowager had left. From now on, no one in this world could make him break his principles, no one could make him yearn for them, no one could make him change his mind, and no one could make him smile…
w.a.n.g Yun had always appreciated Prince Huai and had watched him grow up.
He understood his character and appreciated his talent. This time, when Prince Huai wanted to go to the border, his voice was the loudest.
However, no matter what he said, the Consort Dowager did not retract her order. This made w.a.n.g Yun unhappy with the Consort Dowager for the first time and gave her the cold treatment.
After all, just a while ago, everyone had seen the Consort Dowager and Prince Huai together.
The sudden transfer of him to the border was thought to be due to some conflict between the two of them.
The original owner had already lost a general, Prince Huai. If she lost w.a.n.g Yun, it would definitely not do. However, she was not as smart as Su Ji and could not think of a better way. She could only go to General w.a.n.g’s residence, hoping to move him with sincerity.
Later, she even made her own snacks and brought them along. If w.a.n.g Yun did not want to see her, she would go the next day. If w.a.n.g Yun did not eat her snacks, she would eat them herself and make something else the next day.
When the news reached Ning Bian’s ears, he laughed as if he had just picked up the biggest joke in the world.
“Isn’t the Consort Dowager usually quite smart? Why did she use such a stupid method this time? Would General w.a.n.g be moved by such a method? How laughable!”
During that period of time, he would say this to everyone he met, and Ning Lihua would also mock him.
In the end, seven days later, the news that w.a.n.g Yun had seen Consort Dowager reached his residence.
Not only did he meet her, he even ate the food she made and drank the wine
she brought!
Later, when he sent the Consort Dowager out of the residence, he no longer had a sour expression on his face and laughed like Santa Claus.
Ning Bian had seen the original owner as a joke for seven days. On the last day, he was successfully slapped in the face.
The original owner also realized that although she wasn’t smart, hard work could make up for her clumsiness. Stupid methods might take a long time to take effect, and people might laugh at her in the process, but as long as she persisted, she could achieve the same result in the end.
She seemed to know how to be a Consort Dowager now…
On the last day, the roast chicken that finally touched w.a.n.g Yun was actually made by Musician Xiao. The idea of bringing a pot of wine was also suggested by Musician Xiao.
Prince Huai did not see anyone these days, nor did he deal with any matters in court. He only arranged the routes and provisions for the soldiers to move to the border.
On the last day, before he left, he rode to Bian Guanshi’s courtyard. Bian Guanshi seemed to have known that he would come and even prepared tea.
This was the last time Prince Huai came here before he left the capital, so naturally, he had prepared a lot of gifts. However, his purpose was definitely not as simple as saying goodbye to Bian Guanshi.
He carried the things into the front yard and enjoyed tea with Bian Guanshi in the backyard.
This time, Prince Huai only wanted to ask Bian Guanshi about one thing.
Bian Guanshi closed his eyes, as if he was making some kind of preparation.
Prince Huai looked at him and enunciated each word clearly. “How can I see her again?”
He paused for a few seconds and added, “it’s her, not someone else.”
Bian Guanshi let out a long sigh. After a long time, he said, “irreconcilable.” He didn’t say anything else.
In her previous life, Su Ji had been pierced by thousands of arrows, and the soldiers had transported her corpse back.
When Prince Huai saw her, her body was already cold.
He hugged her corpse like a madman and stayed there for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.
Later, he came to Bian Guanshi and asked him the same question.
Bian Guanshi gave him the same answer.
In this life, the Consort Dowager’s ending had changed. Many things had changed, but fate had not.
Bian Guanshi still fell into the hands of Prince Huai and revealed the secrets of heaven for him.
He wouldn’t be able to be a human for another few hundred years…
