Chapter 133: The Antagonist (1)
Ye Sui was shocked. She looked at the ghostly minister, her voice trembled as she asked: “What did you just say?”
The ghost minister didn’t raise his head. Instead, his body fell lower and his head hit the ground with a loud bang. His tone was firm and determined: “Greetings to His Highness The Crown Prince. Greetings to Her Highness The Prince Consort!”
In the empty and silent East Palace, the voice of the ghost minister sounded again. This time, it clearly reached Ye Sui’s ear.
Ye Sui couldn’t keep calm any longer. Even though she had predicted the identity of the two in their previous lives, actually hearing it made her mental stability go out of order.
When Ye Sui calmed down, she turned her head and looked towards Chen Shu, her expression was extremely complicated. She slowly said one sentence: “Chen Shu, our guess wasn’t wrong.”
Ye Sui’s voice was clearly heard “You were the Crown Prince of Xia Zhou Dynasty and I was your Imperial Concubine.”
When her words fell, Chen Shu’s pupils were slightly enlarged, his dark and deep eyes filled with unstable emotions. Chen Shu’s calm face finally showed a trace of emotion.
A very powerful army of a dynasty, the lovers who fell in love but had difficulty staying together, turned out to be their past lives.
Chen Shu and Ye Sui looked at each other, their minds were complicated, but neither of them spoke.
Ye Sui took a deep breath and let the ghost minister and general ghost get up first. However, the ghost minister shook his head, his voice full with self-blame and guilt.
The ghost minister was unwilling to stand up, and he said: “Minister deserves death. I don’t dare ask the Crown Prince and Prince Consort for forgiveness. Minister has no right to face you.”
Ye Sui felt strange, because Chen Shu couldn’t see ghosts. Ye Sui was about to tell Chen Shu what the ghost minister just said. However, Chen Shu said: “I can’t see him, but I can hear him.”
Ye Sui was very surprised. Perhaps the minister was related to their previous life, so Chen Shu could hear his voice.
At that point, it didn’t seem surprising that something odd had happened.
Ye Sui looked at the ghost minister: “Why do you say that?” she asked.
The ghost minister looked at Chen Shu, then lowered his head: “Your highness, minister and General Gu are your subordinates, prior to the moment Your Highness went to the battlefield, Your Highness had told us.”
“No matter what happens, we must protect the Crown Prince’s lifes.”
Chen Shu’s expression fluctuated, his expression froze and didn’t say anything. The ghost minister continued saying: “At that time, we were careless and were accidentally caught in the trap of our enemy. In order to protect us, His Highness became the bait.”
Ye Sui suddenly remembered about the tragic war in the history books, and in the end the Crown Prince died. She asked nervously, “What happened next?”
The ghost minister replied in a low voice: “The sword pierced His Highness’s chest right through the heart.”
Ye Sui remembered the pain she had felt in her heart, it turned out that was the cause of the Crown Prince’s death. In order to protect his subordinates, the sword pierced through his heart and completely cutting off his life.
He did his duty to his subordinates, at the cost of his life, in such a painful way.
Ye Sui held Chen Shu’s hand and then let go. She looked at the general ghost and asked “Why can’t the general speak?”
The general ghost glanced at the ghost minister, his vocal cords had suffered damage, only the ghost minister could speak for him. “When the Crown Prince died in the battle, General Gu fought desperately.”
“But there were too many enemies and they cut through General Gu’s throat. Since then he can no longer speak.”
Ye Sui sighed, this sword was once bestowed by the Crown Prince to General Gu and General Gu was faithful to protect the lord. She could only imagine the tragedy and how powerless he must have felt at that time.
At this time, Chen Shu suddenly spoke “ Why have you all stayed in Xia Zhou Palace for so long?”
Ghost Minister: “Minister had been entrusted by the Emperor’. I did not protect the Crown Prince properly, instead he died to protect us. This Minister really deserves death.”
“This Minister and General Gu want to sincerely apologize to Your Highness.”
“This Minister is really incompetent. We tried searching for the Crown Prince’s soul for a long time. We had no idea that the Crown Prince had been in this era until you came to the Xia Zhou Palace.”
Ever since her first time in the museum, Ye Sui had begun to dream more often. It was like a ray of light in the dark, guiding them to the Xia Zhou Palace.
