The cicadas outside of the window were still chirping non-stop. Through the door of the room, one could see that the pomegranate in the yard was beginning to look somewhat full, the green skin facing the sun had already shown signs of reddening, as if it was being shyly exposed to the sun.

"Miss, what do you remember now?"

Zhuang Li didn't understand what was going on for a while, but she started to think hard about what had happened today. What had happened in this period of time?

"You were taken to Huhe Palace by the astrologer. Do you still remember?"

Mentioning the astrologer, Zhuang Li suddenly thought of a copper bell. That copper bell looked very thin, and there were even some holes on it that seemed like some kind of strange symbol.

"Miss, can you remember who you saw today?"

She looked at Qing You, and said slowly, "I've seen Duan Weilan, and … and my mother.

At this time, Qing You's frown was even more serious than Zhuang Li's.

Zhuang Li also noticed that something was amiss, why would she see Duan Weilan? And mother? They were clearly not people from this world.

"Qing You, tell me what happened today."

Later, when Zhuang Li talked about the situation on that day, she was brought by the astrologer to empress's Wei He Palace. Qing You was extremely anxious, so she kept watch outside of Huai He Palace. She only knew that this matter was probably related to the matter of Qingyang Palace and ghosts, but she did not know the exact situation. When she saw the people from Empress Huai and the palace at the palace entrance, she quickly grabbed a few other palace maids and young eunuch s and entered.

She waited outside for four hours before seeing the young eunuch that was dragged out. She quickly went forward to stop one of them to ask about the situation inside and the eunuch was extremely scared. She only said that a few of the evil people had been killed, and the others had already been released. Qing You was extremely frightened, and immediately asked if she saw any Imperial Noble Lady Ya inside. Unfortunately, Zhuang Li usually did not go out, and no one in the palace knew her as if she were a transparent object.

Qing You waited until the person who was not caught came out, only then did she realize that something was wrong, and prepared to go to Heart Nurturing Palace to look for Eunuch Li, who was still in the forward position, so that he could think of a way to help her, but before he could even go out, he met young eunuch, Xiao Wanzi.

Qing You lowered her voice and told Zhuang Li, "That Xiao Wanzi is actually someone from the Prince Bi, and his illness has only just improved a little. He brought the prince consort to the palace to burn incense on the empress dowager's memorial tablet, and he still hasn't returned when he heard of this matter. He actually agreed to let Qing You take his order badge to the Heart Nurturing Palace to find the Eunuch Li and let him think of a way to go to Huhe Palace.

Until Qing You brought Eunuch Li along on his way here, when he met Prince Bi bringing Zhuang Li to the Imperial Study.

Zhuang Li seemed to have been fished out of the water, while choking on it, she was still unconscious. However, no one knew what exactly happened to her at Huhe Palace …

"So I went back to my room and slept until dusk?"

Qing You sighed, it seemed that the young miss' brain had truly turned into water this time.

"You don't know anything about it?"

"Of course I don't know …" "When I woke up, it was already dusk. I went straight to the teahouse out of fright. You already know what happened next."

"When you returned to your room, the emperor just so happened to be here early in the morning. The emperor even came in to see you, but you didn't even recognize this?"

"Wh …" "What!?" The Emperor has been to my room? Came to see me?

"That's right, you're still crying for a long time. We're all waiting outside the door, and we don't know what's going on inside. The young eunuch s outside the door are still guessing whether you're crying and complaining to the emperor about the empress …"

Zhuang Li took a deep breath. She had indeed made a big mistake, and she didn't even remember …

Zhuang Li slowly recalled her encounter at Huai He Palace. That noble and beautiful Queen, with authority like that of a god, had appeared in front of him, wanting him to raise her head.

By the way, the empress didn't like him, but all of this had been anticipated long ago.

The old man, the astrologer, took the broken bell and walked around him. Right, the moment he heard the sound of the bell, he seemed to have followed it. Where did he go?

She clearly remembered seeing her mother, seeing her good friend Duan Weilan, and those feelings were so real. Not only could she see them, and carefully touch a strand of their hair, and smell the scent of their clothes, she could also touch them, hold their hands, or even lean on their bodies. That feeling was so real, how could it not have happened? Furthermore, in the end, she even saw Wang Su …

She suddenly realized that it might just be a dream. Why would Wang Su be there? He is the emperor of the Great Phoenix Dynasty, how can he write in a classroom with me in the modern world?

But if that was a dream, wasn't that dream too beautiful?

And when you think about it, it feels so real …

Just like that, Zhuang Li and Qing You sat down on the bed, looking at the sun in the west. As they slowly descended and cleaned up the multicolored light that scattered on the window just now, the small pomegranate also swayed a few times in the light breeze, seemingly raising its own waist. The more time passed, the clearer Zhuang Li's thoughts became.

She remembered what the empress had asked her, and she remembered that when the astrologer had circled around her, she had collapsed. She had thought she was a real monster, that the bell would take her soul away and leave her body in this world.

But if he left, where should he go?

She remembered that her mother had told her a lot of things, told her to study hard, worked hard and so on. When she closed her eyes and leaned against Qing You's body as she thought back carefully, only then did she realize that her mother had really said that to her.

She had lived here for too long, so long that she had sometimes forgotten her original world.

She slept too much the entire day, and at night, she became even more clear-headed. Zhuang Li stared at the wall above him for a long time before finally falling asleep in a daze.

The next day, Qing You woke up to find that shshewas still asleep. Originally, Qing You had her own small room, but because she was too worried about Zhuang Li, he insisted on sleeping with her.

When Zhuang Li opened the door, he discovered that there was someone outside. When she saw her coming out, he immediately went over.

The child looked her up and down like an object, as if checking to make sure his precious china was undamaged, and then sighed, as if chagrined, until he was sure she was all right.

"If elder sister hadn't stayed in the palace, these things wouldn't have happened."

Zhuang Li found it funny, this silly child, although what she said made sense, she comforted him while thinking that this was actually not a big deal, she had just returned from Huai He Palace and did not lack a single hair on her head. What did it have to do with this, compared to the servants who were killed by him yesterday, if she continued to complain, then she would really be blessed.

When she went to Huhe Palace, she had always suspected that she had been captured for such a ridiculous reason. On the other hand, Hanqin suspected that there was some relationship between him and Zhao Ci, and whether or not this matter was related to Hanqin deliberately going against him.

However, ever since she entered that Wei He Palace, she had never seen Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin present, and had indeed heard that she was sick in bed, and did not even seem to have the energy to get out of her bed.

From the very beginning, empress had only been dealing with this matter, but the surprise on her face when she saw him proved that she did not intend to target him.

Then, Qing You would also have to ask the astrologer who left the palace in Huai City about this. That old man insisted that the person who was deemed to have the Evil Qi was not Zhuang Li.

If the Imperial Noble Consort wanted to get rid of him, she would be the one leading the way, and if she bribed the astrologer, and identified that the Evil Qi in the palace was brought by him, the empress would directly drag him out to the grave, wouldn't that make things much easier?

Although she did not have a definite reason or evidence, Zhuang Li had a faint feeling that this matter was related to Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin, even though she still could not understand it at the moment.

This matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Because when Qing You heard that a few of the servants identified by the astrologer had been killed, news spread out from his Qingyang Palace.

This news was naturally a huge leap for the astrologer's position in the harem … It was said that he could see through demons and monsters, and also predict good fortune …

But Zhuang Li was suspicious, then was there really ghosts in this world?

She had initially thought that those who had never come into contact with science would see the thunder in the sky and would think that it was Thunder who was angry, afraid that disaster would befall her, and that was a very normal and natural phenomenon.

She thought they were stupid, but there was nothing she could do about that.

However, in that extremely realistic dream, when she and Duan Weilan went to work together, she could actually see that her face was Zhao Ci's in the mirror.

For the first time, she realized who she was.

If she was certain that there were no past lives, no souls, and no ghosts, then why would she appear here?

Where was her world of science and reality?

Could it be that this was just a dream?

Was she Zhuang Li again, or was she Zhao Ci? And just which world should he belong to?

Why did she have such a reaction to the astrologer's bell? Was it also because her soul had truly been stripped away from her body that she continued to walk on that wasteland, causing her to have such a real and chaotic dream?
