Chapter 917 reveals the truth

Tao Zhen was soaked in cold sweat and his whole body was trembling slightly.

The dream just now was too real. If everything was true, then there was another possibility for the death of the original owner besides the death of Pei Huan as they had guessed before.

She was scared to death.

She could see herself as a ghost at the time, and judging from her subsequent behavior, the original owner's mental state could no longer be considered a normal person.

She was so frightened by her that she finally hanged herself.

This is the truth behind the death of the original owner.

She just heard the eminent monk and the prince say the words "haunted by evil spirits".

So, who is the evil ghost?

Is it her or the original owner?

She was floating next to the original owner before, but later, the original owner's soul rested on her bones.

Who is the evil ghost?

Tao Zhen fell into a strange circle.

This circle goes around and around, like a mess, and I can't figure it out and can't find the answer.

She felt that she was more like an evil ghost.

She took the body of the original owner, and then lived in his place. She thought that by doing good deeds, her merits and demerits could be offset, and she was smug that she had lived a wonderful life for the original owner.

But is this the case?
The original owner liked Pei Huan, but she went against the original owner's body and got married to Pei Zhan.

If the original owner was still conscious, what would he think when he saw this scene?
How would she react when she saw that she could only call the man she loved "big brother"?
Damn!

God damn it!

Tao Zhen's head hurts so much!
She was sad, guilty, and even a little unspeakably irritable.

Why are things like this?Just let her pretend to be asleep all the time, why bother waking her up?

Why should she know these things?
Is this the original owner's revenge on her?

Tao Zhen stood up. This room looked like a woman's room. A bronze mirror was placed on the table. Tao Zhen walked over, stretched out his hand and retracted it, then reached out and picked up the bronze mirror.

Her face was reflected in the mirror, familiar yet unfamiliar.

Tao Zhen suddenly slapped the mirror on the table.

No, no, no, this is not her face, this is the face of the original owner.

The original owner is the owner of this body, and she is just an outsider, a shameful thief.

She stole the original owner's life.

"I'm sorry..." Tao Zhen murmured.

She feels sad.

"I'm sorry!" she said again.

The surrounding area was empty, and no one responded to her.

She squatted on the ground holding her head.

The ground was very cold, and Tao Zhen felt the coldness seeping through her skin and into her bones bit by bit.

Tao Zhen picked up the mirror again. The face in the mirror was still the same, but even more unfamiliar.

Tao Zhen looked at it, and the face seemed to smile suddenly at her.

Tao Zhen was so frightened that he threw away the mirror.

"don't want…"

"what…"

She opened her eyes again, and the emperor and the eminent monk were still standing in front of her.

"You fainted, how are you? Are you still feeling well?" the emperor asked.

Tao Zhen looked at him with a complicated expression.

Was everything just a dream?

"I want to go home!" Tao Zhen said.

"You can't go back until the ceremony is over."

The emperor said patiently.

Tao Zhen frowned and his voice became colder: "I'm going home."

The emperor's tone was gentle, but his attitude was tough: "Tao Zhen, don't be willful, think about Pei Zhan."

Tao Zhen looked at him in disbelief: "Are you threatening me?"

The emperor acquiesced.

Tao Zhen couldn't understand.

why?
Why do you want to keep her in the palace? Is it just for that damn ritual?

"Why?" Tao Zhen asked.

The emperor looked at her, his eyes becoming increasingly dim under the candlelight.

why?

The emperor wants to know too!So he brought Tao Zhen into the palace.

Tao Zhen stared at him, always finding it difficult to connect the man in front of him with the former prince. Ever since he became emperor, he seemed to be a completely different person.

"I want to see Pei Zhan!"

The emperor said: "You can see him after you finish the rituals."

This is the sentence again.

Tao Zhen was extremely irritable.

She lowered her eyes and finally said nothing.

The rituals in the palace lasted for seven days, and the emperor would not go there specially. Tao Zhen saw him on the third day. He was still so arrogant and indifferent, standing at the highest point of power, like a lonely goshawk.

Tao Zhen asked him: "The ritual is over, can I really leave?"

The emperor said yes.

Tao Zhen stopped talking.

Tao Zhen found that she liked to sleep very much recently, sleeping more and more, and her mind was a little confused. She suspected that it was the food, but it was still the same after the hunger strike.

She looked around and stared at the burning incense burner for a while, then walked over and poured out the incense inside.

On this day, her condition was much better.

She didn't quite understand, what on earth did the emperor want to do?
She pretended to be asleep, and soon she heard footsteps, it was the emperor.

He walked up to Tao Zhen and stared at her for a long time before leaving.

Tao Zhen had goosebumps all over his body.

As soon as the emperor returned to Xuande Hall, Yuanji came over to announce: "Your Majesty, Dr. Pei is here."

"not see!"

Yuanji didn't dare to say anything, turned and left.

Pei Zhan was not surprised at all by this result. He had noticed the emperor's thoughts before, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Doctor Pei, don't worry too much, my wife will go back in seven days." Yuan Ji said with relief.

Pei Zhan said with a smile: "I have nothing to worry about. It's just a joke to Eunuch Yuan."

After saying that, he left.

Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief.

What is this? Why are everyone so weird?

"Why don't you eat?" the emperor asked, "doesn't it suit your appetite?"

Tao Zhen looked at him: "Your Majesty, don't you think your concern for me is over the limit?"

The emperor looked at her calmly.

Tao Zhen said: "Will you really let me go after seven days? Or is it just an excuse?"

The emperor asked: "Is everything going well in the palace?"

Tao Zhen smiled: "Where is the best place?"

She looked around: "There are many shadows, what's the difference between it and a cage?"

The emperor also raised his head and glanced at the palace in the distance, as if muttering to himself, or asking her: "If it's not good, why do so many people come?"

Tao Zhen did not answer, but asked: "Does Your Majesty know how many women there are in the harem?"

The emperor didn't know that those women were just his tools, either to contain the previous dynasty or to solve his needs.

He never cared about what they thought. Their happiness, anger, sorrow, spring, sadness, and autumn were meaningless to him.

Tao Zhen looked at him and felt that he was like an emotionless machine, cold and heartless.

Unlike Yan Jingxiao!
But before, he was more like...a carefully created personality!

"I don't want to be one of these, I don't think it's good at all." Tao Zhen said.

The emperor was touched and suddenly became happy. Tao Zhen rarely saw him smile, but this smile made her feel very uncomfortable. The emperor was like a cold snake. Suddenly, he took off his gentle appearance and changed into a cold snake. On the cold skin.

"I knew you were so smart, how could you not figure out what I was thinking."

He stood next to Tao Zhen, looked at him condescendingly, and said as if giving alms, "You are very special."

Tao Zhen was speechless. She had no idea how she attracted the emperor's attention. She was obviously very ordinary, and her appearance was average for someone in the harem. She had been married twice. Brother, don't you have a mysophobia?
"Isn't it just because I know how to fish?" Tao Zhen asked helplessly.

There are many people who know how to fish. If the emperor likes it, she can teach it to all the concubines in the harem and eunuchs for free.

The emperor smiled again.

Tao Zhen said, "You finally became the emperor. You don't want to lose your reputation because of an insignificant person like me, right?"

The emperor said: "No, when the seven days are up, I will announce that the evil spirit has entered your body. Master Yikong will take you back to Baohua Temple to exorcise the evil spirit. After that, your evil spirit enters the body and you die suddenly. As for Pei Zhan..."

He paused and said, "He is also infected with something unclean. I will send him to Baohua Temple to purify his body and mind by eating fast and chanting Buddha's name for the rest of his life."

Tao Zhen “…”

The emperor came closer and stared at Tao Zhen with his deep eyes: "As for you, just change your name and keep it by your side. No one will find out. Even if they find out, no one will dare to say anything. What to do. When I figure it out and get tired of playing, maybe I will be merciful and return your body to Pei Zhan, if he is still willing to have you."

What kind of neuropathy is this?
Tao Zhen stared at the emperor in shock and realized that what he said was not a lie, that was what he planned.
