Chapter 144 The Full Moon Arrives Again
Jiang Nianwei suddenly discovered that in this huge palace, all the windows were open.
"Just now, did you get in through the window?"
Baili Zhao lowered his head and gently rubbed the tip of his nose. In this deep palace with high walls, in order to avoid being seen, he had to choose the most secretive path.
Outside the window of the palace was a bamboo forest. He went around the bamboo forest and jumped in through the window.
"I can't come to see you openly, so I can only think of this way."
Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but chuckle, always feeling that there was a sense of taboo.
She knew that Baili Zhao was not on good terms with her mother, but she didn't know what he would think if she were to deal with his father.
Jiang Nianwei suddenly asked seriously: "You also know that I worked so hard to enter the palace, not to help your father live forever. You should know my real purpose. If there really comes such a day, will you support me as always?"
Baili Zhao already knew what she was thinking. "If I hadn't already agreed with your ambition, why would I risk my life to help you? My father's indifference and the court's calculations are like frost in a cold night. I have been walking alone in it since I was a child. The so-called family affection, to me, is nothing more than a touch of coldness in the game of power. Now, I know everything he has done, and I will make a fair judgment on right and wrong. If that day really comes, you and I will stand side by side, fearless of the bumpy road ahead, and plan for the world together. What do we have to fear?"
His words were sincere, his eyes were firm, and his oath was as solid as a rock. He promised that in times of change, he would stand firmly by Jiang Nianwei's side and be her strongest support.
She slowly reached out her hand and patted his shoulder gently but firmly. Her action showed trust: "Don't worry, when that time comes, I will do my best to help you overcome all difficulties."
When she left Linzhou, she had secretly instructed Jing Xiangxue to begin accumulating strength in silence and quietly stockpiling food and fodder to lay a solid material foundation for the future stormy times.
She also secretly recruited troops and gathered a large number of so-called "rebels" in order to completely overthrow Baili Jingyao's rule.
Baili Jingyao, the emperor who attempted to place himself above all other living beings with his own selfish desires, regarded even his own flesh and blood, Baili Zhao, as nothing more than a chess piece on his chessboard of power, at his mercy and ruthlessly exploited.
To him, Baili Zhao was nothing more than a tool for ruling and conquering.
Fortunately, he saw all this very clearly and was not fooled by Baili Jingyao's seemingly kind fatherly behavior.
"Actually... what I want is not for Sanniang to clear all the thorns and winds for me. What I want is for Sanniang to do whatever she wants. As for me, I just want to stay by your side. That way, I will be satisfied."
Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, you have become a love-brained person."
This is a word she learned from modern times, and it just popped out of her mouth inadvertently.
Baili Zhao looked puzzled: "What brain? I've only heard of pig brain and monkey brain, what kind of brain is this love brain? Never mind, no matter what kind of brain it is, my heart is filled with pure and passionate love for Sanniang, which is unwavering."
"Love-brained means that you have deep feelings for someone and are willing to give up everything just to make him/her smile. For me, it means that you are full of me in your heart and eyes, and are willing to go through fire and water for me."
"Then I am willing to be Sanniang's love brain for the rest of her life."
Although the atmosphere was sweet at the moment, it was a pity that Baili Zhao could not stay here for too long. After he climbed out the window and left, Jiang Nianwei felt disappointed.
Ever since she was cheated on in her last relationship, she has been treating her relationship with A Zhao very rationally.
The intimacy between the two has always been just right.
Because she knew that in the end of her plan, Baili Zhao would eventually become the biggest winner.
If he ascended the throne and became emperor, would his original intention remain unchanged?
She didn't dare to bet on this unknown variable easily. The future was unpredictable. She could only grasp the present and cherish every moment she had with him.
At least now, she is the only one in Baili Zhao's heart.
……
Yazhou, Jingzhai.
Jing Zhuo hadn't had that kind of dream for a while. She held the string of beads in her hand and couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that it was just a dream? It's impossible, but if it wasn't, why can't I have that kind of dream again?"
Late at night, she fell asleep again and really dreamed of Xia Zhuo in the present.
Xia Zhuo quickly adapted to modern life. Everything for women in modern times is much easier than in ancient times.
Moreover, she is known as a talented student and can see all kinds of strange and weird things.
For example, you can carry a small square box with you, which can transmit sound and send text over thousands of miles, but these need to be typed with your fingers in a way called pinyin.
There are actually a lot of little people installed in the mobile phone. There is a thing called video software, in which you can see scenery from all over the world and various beautiful women and handsome men wearing weird clothes.
This world was so new and strange that she was overwhelmed.
But at the same time, she had been thinking about another thing. The day she woke up, she met a ghost that looked exactly like herself. Who was that "ghost"?
Tonight, the silver plate was hanging high in the sky, the moonlight was bright, Xia Zhuo slowly sank into the soft bedding, and was about to take a rest, but she found that the ghost figure from before suddenly appeared in front of her again, which scared her.
Jing Zhuo also discovered that she had returned to the modern era.
Knowing that time was limited, she was not going to say any more nonsense. "Xia Zhuo, it's me. I don't have time to explain too much to you. You just need to know that you and I have exchanged bodies. Your current body is mine, and I am you in Dasheng."
Xia Zhuo's thoughts were still wandering in the fog of chaos. Before she could sort out the sudden change, she saw her move neatly and take off the dazzling gold and silver ornaments one by one. "You can sell these and get a lot of money. Use these to buy some things for me. I am very useful."
Xia Zhuo's eyes wandered among the gold and silver jewelry. His throat was unconsciously dry, and his voice trembled a little: "What... do you want to buy?"
"First, I need you to collect a few generators for me, and then find the most advanced computer on the market. Remember, it has to be the most advanced one..."
Before he finished speaking, Jing Zhuo felt the scene in front of him change, and he was pulled back to ancient times. He secretly sighed in his heart: "This time, at least I have made things clear."
She looked up, and a gentle ray of moonlight quietly jumped into her eyes. Hanging outside the window was the bright and flawless full moon. It seemed that the last time it appeared was also the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Could it be that I have to connect to the present through dreams on the fifteenth of every month?
If this is the case, I will have to wait another month before coming to that world again.
