Chapter 773: She Got It!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After sending Su Ji away, Prince Huai rode to the northern courtyard to meet Bian Guanshi.
The recent frequent loss of consciousness was unusual, and from his observations during this period of time, this was definitely not a common illness.
Bian Guanshi was not surprised to see him. He thought that he had come earlier than he had expected. He had wanted to try the new wine in his residence.
Prince Huai’s lips curled up. “Alright, I’ll order the servant to send it over tomorrow.”
Shen Mu tied up the horse and stood steadily beside him. He rubbed his hands and was as obedient as a little quail.
Prince Huai followed Bian Guanshi to the secluded backyard, leaving Shen Mu in the front hall.
Bian Guanshi’s disciple brought tea and respectfully served it before tactfully leaving.
The environment in the backyard was excellent. There was a dense bamboo forest growing naturally, and the air was fresh, making people feel relaxed and happy.
In the evening, the rays of the sun shone through the gaps in the bamboo forest and landed on the moss-covered stone path. The mottled spots of light overlapped. Two figures sat opposite each other, and the shadows of the bamboos looked aesthetic.
Without anyone to disturb him, Prince Huai went straight to the point and told him about the strange things that had happened to him recently.
Bian Guanshi closed his eyes and stroked his long white beard with two fingers. Although he did not look too surprised, he still asked him some details.
After Prince Huai finished speaking, he nodded calmly. “You told me this because you want to know something from me?”
“Who is the person who took over my body?” Prince Huai said bluntly.
Bian Guanshi also knew that the secret of the heavens could not be revealed, but Prince Huai was his destined person, so when facing him, Bian Guanshi would go easy on him.
He narrowed one of his eyes and glanced at Prince Huai before closing it again.
“To occupy the body and exchange souls, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Five Elements Life Matrix, and the Eight Characters of Birth must match…otherwise, it wouldn’t have succeeded.”
Prince Huai slowly turned the teacup in his hand. “You mean…”
Bian Guanshi opened his eyes, waved his sleeves, and took a sip of tea. “Think about how the Consort Dowager was switched. Your Highness is intelligent, you will definitely be able to figure it out…”
A strange look flashed across Prince Huai’s eyes.
Then, he thought of something, and his expression gradually turned sharp and dark.
Prince Huai was the same as Pei Huai. When he found out that his love rival was “him”, he did not feel relieved, much less give his blessings. On the contrary, his hostility was unprecedentedly strong.
He squeezed the teacup in his hand so hard that it creaked.
Bian Guanshi watched from the side, his eyes following the teacup. He couldn’t help but feel nervous.
This set of cups was a rare treasure. If it was not for the arrival of an important guest, he would not have used it. Please don’t crush it…
Prince Huai knew that he was in someone else’s residence, so he restrained his strength. Otherwise, it would have been crushed into powder long ago, let alone shattered.
He pondered for a long time, and the pressure around him became lower and lower.
It was not that he had not thought of this possibility, but he did not expect that in just a short period of time, Su Ji was already pregnant.
He had known Su Ji since the moment Su Ji entered the palace. Even counting the time Su Ji entered his bathing hall by mistake, it had been three years. Altogether, it had been more than six years. He had only developed their relationship to the point where they could exchange letters three years ago. Even so, he was still disguised as her bestie. However, in his later life, it took him only a year to get to know each other and…
“Kssshhhhk..’
Bian Guanshi was stunned.
He seemed to have heard the sound of porcelain shattering!
Looking closely, Prince Huai noticed that his most treasured teacup had a thin crack between his fingers.
Shocked, he quickly changed the topic and mentioned the time when Su Ji had asked to see him.
Prince Huai looked at him. A second later, he put down his teacup. “Did the Consort Dowager summon you again?
Bian Guanshi put down the teacup and felt relieved.
“No.” He smiled casually. As he spoke, he quietly took the teacup and hid it in his sleeve. “But if Her Highness summons me again, I’ll go.”
His tone was completely devoid of the resistance he had when he was summoned for the first time.
The smell of the pastries in the palace…was irresistible!
Prince Huai thought that they might have the chance to meet again in the future. After thinking about it, he reminded him, “The Consort Dowager is pregnant. Please take care of her.”
Bian Guanshi nodded seriously. “I understand.”
Seeing how calm and composed he was, Prince Huai raised an eyebrow. “It seems that you have known that Her Highness is pregnant?”
Bian Guanshi’s lips curved into a deep smile. “If Her Highness weren’t pregnant, she wouldn’t have come back.”
Prince Huai’s expression changed slightly when he heard this. He looked at him, silently waiting for him to continue.
Bian Guanshi shook his head and said mysteriously, “a person who belongs to this era, but is nurturing life in another time and space. It’s easy to come back, but difficult to go back. Prince Huai, don’t worry for now…”
At the same time, in the bedroom, Su Ji had already woken up.
She sat in front of the table and did not call the palace maid in. After a moment of silence, she rubbed her temples and found the exquisite jewelry box from the clothes she had changed out of. She opened it and pinched the bracelet inside. She slowly turned it against the candlelight and admired it.
A moment later, she put it on.
The jade bracelet was stuck at the joint of her palm. She exerted a little force with her fingertips and the jade bracelet slipped into her wrist. It was the same size as in the modern world, just right.
This jade bracelet was not safe anywhere. It was safest to wear it on her wrist. No one could take it off.
Her fingertips covered the jade bracelet in her hand. The jade bracelet emitted a faint golden light, which was not as strong as it was in the real world.
This was the treasure she had lost and regained.
Pei Huai once said that this bracelet would protect her.
However, Su Ji also wondered why she always had a poor appetite and a weak constitution when she wore the jade bracelet. When the jade bracelet broke, her appetite gradually improved, and her body also recovered. Now that she was pregnant, it was probably the same time she got pregnant after the jade bracelet broke.
It seemed to be a complete contradiction.
However, when she put on the jade bracelet again, she felt as if she had been blessed.
In a flash, she felt something
The bracelet was to prevent her from getting pregnant?
Su Ji’s eyes were sparkling with fire. Following this train of thought, everything seemed to make sense.
The jade bracelet was meant to help her stay in the modern world.
At the same time, it was trying to prevent her from getting pregnant. Perhaps it was the main reason why she returned to the Great Shang…
