Chapter 418: The Cause of The Rebirth

That year when you were ten. Due to lying dormant for a long period of time, her sense of time perhaps was still somewhat blurry, but when sensing or perhaps when being able to come in contact with her son, she was absolutely aware.

Ten, it really was quite a peculiar point in time. What about the ten years before that? Where were you?

Inside a piece of jade, beige colored, the quality very good. The interior also had blood red vein lines that appear to be like scattering cracks. Perhaps youve seen before?

(T/N: See chapter 382 part 4 in regards to this piece of jade.)

How was it just having seen before!? Li Hong Yuan took out that pieces of jade from his sash, This?

Yes, turns out Yuaner has been carrying around this whole time. This discovery made the Imperial n.o.ble Consort very happy.

You thought too much. It originally was indeed in my hand, but when moving out of Yucui Palace at seven, it got left behind in Yucui Palace. Id only inadvertently found it not long ago.

Looking at the jade pendant in hand, certain areas that had puzzled Li Hong Yuan were also solved. He was a hundred percent certain, in his past life, his own birth mothers soul wasnt in Shu Consort Qins body. After all, the past lifes Shu Consort Qin never once approached him in the slightest. Perhaps shed been trapped inside this jade pendant the whole time. Although, how this jade ended up in his hand at that time, there was still no answer.

When he had felt that the veins inside this jade were alive, it probably wasnt because of it itself, but rather because his birth mother was inside. Now that she was gone from it, it returned to normal. As such, he also didnt need to care about this piece of jade anymore. Just, after his death, he had returned to ten years old, and the her who had stayed in the jade the whole time in the past life, nevertheless, left the jade pendant at the time of his rebirth, taking residence inside another persons body. Dont know if it was because of this piece of jade, or because of the her in the jade? As such, in the end, Li Hong Yuan still had it stored away.

In the ten years you were in this piece of jade, did you not have any awareness towards the outside?

Upon hearing this, although the Imperial n.o.ble Consort was a bit dejected, but in the end, she didnt lose her bearing again, Previously, for a very long period of time, I wasnt able to, but for a period of time prior to leaving, shouldve been able to. At the time, it was too quiet, unable to hear or sense anything, so for a time thought that it was an illusion, so naturally had no way of knowing how long I was inside. Afterwards, for some reason, I appeared in young sister Qins body, finally figuring out the situation a little.

Shu Consort knows of your existence? Her expressing her goodwill towards me, its also because of you?

I reside inside younger sister Qins body. When awake, Im able to somewhat sense the outside world through younger sister Qin. But most of the times, after younger sister Qin goes to sleep at night, in ten days, theres probably two to three days where Im able to briefly come in contact with her in her dream. At first, the time was relatively short, but afterwards, the time slowly grew longer, and the number of times also increased somewhat. There were a few times where I was even able to temporarily speak with her in the daytime when shes awake. This time, because of an accident, younger sister Qin got injured, and after waking up, it was me taking control of the body. I was also very surprised.

This can also be considered indirectly admitting. If Shu Consort Qin didnt know about her existence, then it wouldve certainly been the same as the past life.

Li Hong Yuan thought back to the start of his rebirth. Shu Consort Qin didnt have any abnormalities. Or perhaps, it was just that he didnt sense anything. Of course, one of the reason was that Shu Consort Qin was low-key to begin with, and secondly, Shu Consort Qin wasnt within Li Hong Yuans scope of interest. However, it goes without saying, if another person were to suddenly appear in ones own body, one certainly would need time to adapt. Moreover, not everyone would be able to accept like Shu Consort Qin. Towards something like getting possessed by a ghost, and moreover, by someone that has already been dead for ten years, majority would just feel frightened. Never mind openly and brazenly doing something, the possibility of trying to get ones hands on things that will drive away and expel evil spirits, or directly invite an enlightened high monk was higher.

Thinking of it like this, Shu Consort Qin letting a ghost stay in her own body for more than ten years, it truly was having a big heart.

After residing in Shu Consorts body, did you ever once leave and come to my side before?

These words of his seemingly werent any different from earlier, but the Imperial n.o.ble Consort still keenly sensed his rejection, even carrying a trace of negative emotions. This meant that if this matter is true, he would quite dislike. This understanding made the Imperial n.o.ble Consort almost shed tears again. Even so, she still told him the truth, Once every year, the time not long, at most able to maintain for two hours. Just, its not that Im able to find you every time. Moreover, I probably have no way of leaving the imperial palace. The year before last, Id forcibly gone out, but in less than half an hour by your side, I just lost consciousness. When finally waking up again, three months had already pa.s.sed. Younger sister Qin for a time thought that Id disappeared. Last year, I was completely unable to leave younger sister Qins body again.

Li Hong Yuan finally picked up the teacup, shallowly taking a sip, Regardless of what you saw, please remain silent. If still able to leave Shu Consorts body, please dont go to my side again. Getting peeped at in the dark by someone, regardless of who, would all make one dislike.

Although her perception towards the outside world was weak, but through younger sister Qin, she still knew what kind of temper and character this son had. To put it bluntly, it was just one that completely rejected being controlled. But, she faintly knew that he was secretly growing power in the dark, seemingly not at all weaker than his other brothers. He himself was all able to achieve this on his own, then if there was someone a.s.sisting, or if there was someone properly teaching him since childhood, then just how outstanding would her son be? But that man nevertheless left her son like this.

The Imperial n.o.ble Consorts smile was a bit sad, I understand. Yuaner, the things you dont like, I all wont do. Shed never once been jealous before in her life, but in this moment, her jealousy nevertheless corroded her heart. She was jealous of n.o.ble Consort Su, that woman that once coiled around her arm, very intimately calling her older sister. The Imperial n.o.ble Consort actually knew that n.o.ble Consort Su wasnt really like how she appeared on the surface, even knowing some of her methods. Just, she didnt care, and thus, didnt pay any attention to her, pretending to not know.

That woman was the pus.h.i.+ng hand behind her death. Of course, this pusher actually wasnt just Su-s.h.i.+ alone. Just, Su-s.h.i.+ stole away her son, using her son to secure favor, obtaining that share of mother-son feelings that she yearned for but was unable to obtain. This son was clearly hers, hers.Her heart was chaotic and dark, but she cant let her son see her ugliness.

The Imperial n.o.ble Consort, in the end, wasnt n.o.ble Consort Su. Although he didnt have any feelings towards her, he didnt have any malice either, so Li Hong Yuan naturally had no intention of upsetting her or harming her. However, letting him say something to console, that was also impossible.

In reality, regarding ghosts and spirits, this kind of thing, Li Hong Yuan actually had once inquired Grandmaster Liao Chen before. According to Grandmaster Liao Chens explanation, this kind of situation was less than one in a million, always needing some very very special circ.u.mstance or thing. And whats able to preserve may not necessarily have a good end, and the odds of appearing before people similarly were less than one in a million.

In other words, for Li Hong Yuan to have been able to let everything start over, it was without a doubt incomparably fortunate, and this couldnt have possibly happened without a reason. For the Imperial n.o.ble Consort to be able to preserve her soul after death, it was undoubtedly related to that piece of jade. Li Hong Yuan took it out once more, Where did this jade come from?

The Imperial n.o.ble Consort slowly adjusted her posture on the beauty recliner. Right now, she wasnt feeling well. This body had suffered damage, and moreover, it wasnt hers, just like a person with chronic illness, even having lain in bed for a very very long time, and after waking up, there was just a kind of stiff and uncontrollable feeling. In addition to the soul being weak to begin with, for her to have been able to reach this point now, it was all forcibly enduring.

She shook her head, Dont know, for as long as I can remember, it has always been with me. The people by my side all dont know its origins. Probably when I was five years old, I encountered Grandmaster Liao Chen. The grandmaster said, it was something that belonged to me to begin with, accompanying by my side since birth. He told me to properly keep safe, and that one day in the future, perhaps I can use it to exchange my life for someone elses life out of my own volition. How renowned of a high monk was Grandmaster Liao Chen, yet in the end, there are still times where hes wrong. I am already someone that has died, so how can I still use my life to exchange for someone elses? In this world, if theres still someone that Im willing to exchange my life for, then without a doubt, its just you, Yuaner. However, this is nothing more than a joke. Right now, you are perfectly fine, so where would you still need me, and I also cant do anything for you either.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had interest. Li Hong Yuan subconsciously clenched the jade in hand. Images that he previously didnt have any recollection of suddenly appeared in his mindIn his past life, while on his deathbed, this piece of jade in his hand had exploded into pieces, and from within emerged a stunning beauty. There were clearly still many people to the side, but they were like as if completely unable to see her.

She said: Yuaner, its consort mother thats sorry to you. Consort mother was useless, not even able to hold on a little longer and wait for you to be born, else how could your life be filled with this much suffering? Consort mother is nothing but a wisp of soul left, getting trapped inside the jade, yet can only blurrily watch you endure the pain. Consort mother had you brought to this world, yet wasnt able to give birth to you, and further didnt raise you, truly owing you too much. Consort mother has long wished to be able to exchange for your life, but completely dont know what to do. Right now, I dont know whether or not theres still time. If you can live on, I hope that you can be healthy, hope that you can..

At the time, however, Li Hong Yuan felt neither sorrow nor joy. Despite his body being in extreme pain, seeing the Imperial n.o.ble Consort appear, he didnt have any stirring in the slightest-What meaning is there for this emperor to continue living? If not turning back the time, letting this emperor change history, saving ones true love.

When he said these words, it was also nothing more than speaking harshly without any ill intent, because he knew, it was impossible.

Consort mother doesnt know, really dont know. If possible, consort mother wishes for you to obtain what you desire.

After saying this, her body just turned into a myriad of light, thoroughly dissipating. Soon after, that piece of jade also followed her fate.

Li Hong Yuan firmly shut his eyes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, and when looking towards the Imperial n.o.ble Consort again, his eyes already penetrated with a hard to describe complexity. Originally, towards this woman, he didnt have any feelings, yet now, he suddenly learned that for him to have been able to start over, to be able to fulfill his wish, it was all because of her. She had used her own existence in exchange.

According to Grandmaster Liao Chens explanation, in that one in a million, there was actually a kind of person that was relatively special. They themselves were just loved by the heavens..

In the end, Li Hong Yuan wasnt truly cold-blooded and heartless. As such, facing this woman, he could no longer be indifferent.

Moreover, how sharp of a person was Li Hong Yuan. She had used herself to exchange for him. Since he had obtained the benefits, then it was impossible for her to not pay the price. He even suspect that she might dissipate at any time. Then, looking again to the jade in hand, he kept feeling that during this time, it had dimmed quite a bit. He had thought it was just his imagination, but turns out, it wasnt.
