It had been a long time since she saw him like this. Jiang Lingyue was startled at first, but soon she felt wronged. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be mean to me?"
"Not mean to you?" Qi Junyi laughed angrily: "If you were to show your affection to someone else, would I still have to play music for you to see you off? Don't make things difficult for me!"
He took a deep breath, barely suppressing the surging restlessness. "What do you mean you still like this me? Jiang Lingyue, who else do you want to like besides me?"
"Who is it?" He looked into her eyes fiercely and scrutinizingly. "What did you dream about last night? Where did you go in your dream? Tell me everything that's causing you to act so empathetic!"
Jiang Lingyue: “…”
"Okay, okay," she raised her hand, feeling a little overwhelmed after being questioned several times. "I'll tell you everything."
"There's no empathy, it's all you," she said, leaning into his arms, reaching out to touch his face, and said, "I dreamed of the day I died in my previous life, but in the dream I didn't die, but was saved by the imperial doctors."
"I've always wondered what you'd look like after I died, and I kind of saw you in my dream."
Thinking of the detailed and realistic scenes in the dream, Jiang Lingyue frowned, "Is it true that what you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night? But in that dream, I thought that the experience in our world was just a dream."
A dream within a dream.
It makes it hard to tell what is real or not.
The Emperor's face had already turned slightly darker.
He finally understood what she meant by "I still like this you".
It turns out that I was comparing myself with myself in my dreams.
He gritted his teeth and said, "What do I look like in my dreams?"
Now that he was better, Jiang Lingyue's mind was much clearer. Upon hearing this, he immediately realized, "Are you doubting that dream? Maybe it wasn't a dream?"
She thought for a moment and then told the truth, "I woke up from my dream and saw you standing beside the bed, your eyes bloodshot and your face filled with despair and misery... You looked quite pitiful. At the time, I thought I was near death, my soul had left my body, and that's why I had this bizarre dream."
"I treated my experiences in this world as dreams and told them all to you in that world... and you accepted them. You nodded in agreement to all the truths this world had learned. They were all true..."
She spoke incoherently, her brows furrowed tightly. "What's wrong with me? Which world is real?"
If this world is real, she is living a second life, and in her previous life, she really died on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Then why did she inexplicably dream back to her previous life before her death?
And she clearly didn't die in the 'dream', she woke up.
But if this world is fake, and everything is just a false fantasy created by oneself before dying...
No, no!
Jiang Lingyue didn't want to believe it.
There are such real dreams in the world.
Can a person dream about the truth of something he doesn’t even know?
how can that be possible?
Jiang Lingyue was in a trance.
Is it possible that there is no such thing as a dream at all, and in fact... both worlds exist in reality?
However, she was on the verge of death, her soul was not in her body, and she came to this world and stayed there for a full year.
But why would you go back?
If she really died on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Jingtai's reign, and if she really was reborn a year later, she and the Emperor had put aside their past grudges, communicated with each other, and lived peacefully in this life.
Then why would she go back?
What kind of opportunity made her go back?
Why was she saved in that world?
Wasn't she supposed to die on that day?
It was like she was stuck in a dead end that she couldn't get out of. Jiang Lingyue racked her brains and was exhausted, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
She clenched her fists and couldn't help but hit her head, but was quickly stopped.
"Okay, the sky won't fall." Qi Junyi held her hand and held her in his arms, his face as gloomy as water. "No matter what the truth is, there will always be someone capable who will know it."
After saying this, he called out to Liu Rong who was waiting outside, and selected several people to come to the audience at once.
He made the decision not to go to the Dali Temple today.
In Qi Junyi's eyes, ten thousand Jiangs, Lius, Lis, and Xies combined are not as good as the girl in his arms.
He can even go against the will of heaven by being reborn, so he wouldn't be too surprised by even more incredible things.
Her narration was incoherent, but he had already sorted out her "dream" and made preparations for the worst.
It was nothing more than that the world she went to was also real, and another "self" was coming to snatch people from him.
And the girl in my arms can... pass away at any time.
Jiang Lingyue groaned in pain as the force tightened around her waist, but soon the force loosened.
She looked up and found that the emperor's eyes had turned red and he was looking at her without blinking.
"You..." Perhaps, lovers who love each other will really understand each other. The girl, who has always been a little slow, suddenly understood the panic of the man in front of her at this moment.
She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Don't be afraid, I only choose you, no one can compare to you."
Even if it is you in another world.
Despite the sweet words, Qi Junyi was not happy. He pinched her face and said with a half-smile, "Don't compare me with others."
There's no comparison.
Once compared, it means they are put on the same level.
No way.
Even if it is myself in another world, it won’t work.
At this moment, Jiang Lingyue didn't feel that the emperor was so jealous that the palace was about to become sour. She just thought that it was her own bizarre experience that made him afraid of leaving.
She was picked up from the couch by him in a daze.
This time, even changing clothes was done without help.
Jiang Lingyue was very tired and stood awkwardly in front of him. She rested her little head on his chest and watched those hands, as clean as jade and with slender fingers, buttoning her clothes one by one.
In order to avoid suffocating her, Qi Junyi would reach out to touch her face from time to time.
She looked so greasy and after washing up, she simply tied her hair up.
Breakfast was served in the side hall.
Jiang Lingyue had no appetite and only ate half a bowl of porridge.
Qi Junyi saw it and frowned, but in the end he didn't ask her to use more.
After breakfast, when they were about to go out, Nanny Qian wanted to come up and tie her cloak, but Qi Junyi waved her away.
Only then did Jiang Lingyue realize that she would not be leaving the palace today.
His Majesty the Emperor wants to take her to Guang'an Palace.
And in Guang'an Hall, there were already several people waiting.
For the first time, Jiang Lingyue did not enter the main hall directly, but was placed in a side hall.
She wondered if the minister who was meeting with the emperor this time was a frontier general or a senior official in the court, who wanted to report important national affairs?
But in Ning'an Palace, she clearly heard the names of two Buddhist masters among the people he summoned.
Before she could think about it for long, Liu Rong came trotting over and invited her into the hall.
Jiang Lingyue had some vague guesses in her heart and walked in.
Sure enough, unlike the ministers in Guang'an Hall who usually wore official robes, the people in the hall at this moment were dressed in either cassocks or Taoist robes. In short, they all looked like people from other worldly places.
As soon as Jiang Lingyue entered, the old monk in the middle with his hands clasped together had a strange look in his eyes.
Qi Junyi extended his hand towards her while staring at her intently. "Master Kong Jian, did you notice anything wrong?"
The old monk named Kongjian chanted a Buddhist name and said, "The goddess seems to be suffering from the soul-leaving syndrome."
Soul-leaving syndrome...
Jiang Lingyue blinked and was just looking over when she heard the Emperor at the top say, "Master, please explain clearly."
Upon hearing this, Master Kongjian did not speak immediately.
Instead, he looked closely at Jiang Lingyue's face.
The others also looked over.
Jiang Lingyue stood impartially, allowing several strange people to observe her.
After a long while, the old monk said, "Your Highness appears to be in good health and in excellent spirit, but in reality, you have just recovered from a serious illness. Your soul is not stable within your body. If you encounter any setbacks, you will easily develop the soul-separation syndrome."
It's true that I have just recovered from a serious illness.
But the twists and turns...
"What twists and turns?" Qi Junyi had already walked down from the imperial desk and said in a cold voice, "But she fell into a trap again?"
Jiang Lingyue was simply shocked.
How long has it been since the happy ending? Now he's been tricked again?
That dream last night that seemed so real was actually a plot?
However, Master Kongjian shook his head and sighed, "The Empress is pregnant, but she is still a little pregnant. I'm afraid an ordinary doctor wouldn't be able to feel the pregnancy pulse."
Body, pregnancy.
These two words were like a bolt of thunder in a clear sky, and Jiang Lingyue froze for a moment.
Immediately, he subconsciously reached out and touched his lower abdomen.
They only removed the contraceptive incense on New Year's Eve, and it's not even the end of the first lunar month yet.
...You're pregnant already?
Counting the days, it would be about ten days at most.
It seems normal that the imperial physician couldn't feel the patient's pulse.
All of a sudden, I had reasons for feeling increasingly tired and having no appetite these days.
Her arm was held, and Jiang Lingyue turned her head to meet the Emperor's gaze.
The emotion in each other's eyes was clearly visible.
The two people who had just been told that they were going to have a child nodded in joy, but soon they thought of the word "ups and downs" again.
It turned out that being pregnant was a setback for her body which had just recovered from a serious illness.
There will be soul-leaving syndrome.
Jiang Lingyue frowned, wanting to ask whether that world was real, and also wanting to ask what the worst impact of this soul-leaving disease would be on her.
On the other side, Master Kongjian continued speaking.
"The energy of heaven and earth blesses all living things. Logically speaking, giving birth to a child only adds vitality to a mother's life. Even if she has just recovered from a serious illness, it wouldn't be a problem. But it's different for the Empress."
"From what I've seen of your face, Your Majesty, I can tell you're destined to be childless and die young. Although you've been blessed by the dragon's energy and your fate has changed, your pregnancy has caused your soul to become unstable. Furthermore, there's another factor at play, which is why you've developed the Soul Separation Syndrome."
Hearing that she was destined to be childless and short-lived, Jiang Lingyue was not too panicked. After all, that was how she was in her previous life. But when she heard that "her fate had changed", her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously turned to look at the emperor next to her.
An extremely calm face.
Nothing can be seen.
Jiang Lingyue frowned, "What has my fate changed into?"
"Amitabha,"
Master Kongjian clasped his hands together, his eyes focused on his nose, his nose focused on his heart, and he chanted the Buddha's name. He said calmly, "Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor. Your fate and destiny are closely linked to the Dahan Dynasty. You are protected by the dragon's energy. You are always by the side of the True Dragon Emperor. Your true destiny has also been imbued with the dragon's energy. No one in the world can peek into it."
I don’t know whether this old monk really doesn’t know or is pretending not to know.
Jiang Lingyue's heart was pounding inexplicably.
A question suddenly popped into my mind.
Why was she reborn?
Jiang Lingyue is self-aware. There are billions of living beings in the world, but when it comes to good fortune, charity, and merits, she cannot be ranked.
She had even suffered a great injustice, and she felt aggrieved and resentful, so she insisted on having a chance to be reborn.
She died suddenly, but she didn't feel much regret.
Why is it her turn to be reborn?
Why should a premature death be changed?
Chance, or...
She took a deep breath, set her thoughts aside, and asked, "What could possibly have caused me to suffer from the Soul-Separation Syndrome? Master, please tell me clearly. What I saw and heard last night while my soul was separated from me was it real or a lie?"
Master Kongjian shook his head. "It is both false and real. It all depends on how you look at it."
"???"
What's the difference between saying it and not saying it? Jiang Lingyue felt a little annoyed. Just as she was about to speak, her wrist was grabbed.
His Majesty the Emperor spoke, his tone dull, "Is there any way to cure this soul-leaving disease?"
This is what he wants.
"This..." Master Kong Jian looked at Jiang Lingyue and said, "Your Majesty has just recovered from her illness. If you are pregnant at this time, it is easy for your mind to be unstable. Once the fetus is firmly seated, you may be able to recover."
If the fetus is stable, it will take at least three or four months.
Qi Junyi frowned, "Is there nothing to comfort the soul? Are we just going to let it go for the next few months?"
"Your Highness is pregnant now. The talismans in temples and Taoist temples all contain cinnabar, which can be harmful to pregnant women."
An old man in a Taoist robe took out a piece of dark jade from his sleeve and said, "This item was left by the Taoist master. Your Majesty, please place it in your bedroom. It may help calm your soul and spirit."
Someone took the lead, and the rest of the people also took out their objects.
The masters of Taoism naturally have treasures that can calm the soul.
But if we don't want to interfere with pregnant women, we are somewhat restricted.
In addition, these people all have real abilities, and even if they only look at the face, they can see some of the extraordinary aspects of Jiang Lingyue's fate.
——It is suspected that it is in a state of mutual growth and companionship with the energy of a real dragon.
People with such a fate can actually suffer from the soul leaving the body.
It can be seen how extraordinary the connection in the dark is.
After careful consideration, none of them made any promises, but they all took out the things inherited from their masters, which showed that they had done their best.
The palace door closed gently, and several outsiders left, leaving only a few treasures that might be of use on the table.
Jiang Lingyue took a look and said, "Forget it, it's only three months, just bear with it."
Seeing that the person next to her didn't say anything, she glanced sideways and saw that the other person was looking at her lower abdomen with a dark look in his eyes.
"Qi Junyi!"
Jiang Lingyue was shocked. Without time to think, she protected her stomach and said, "What do you want to do?"
Her eyes were full of vigilance, as if he was a monster that would devour her and the child in her belly.
Qi Junyi felt a sharp pain in his heart, "Yueyue..."
"Qi Hengzhi, don't think about having a child!" Jiang Lingyue glared at him, her eyes red. "I've already suffered a miscarriage, and it took a lot of courage to have this child. If you dare to make me have another miscarriage, then in this life... No! I will never forgive you."
