Xie Zhuzhou originally thought he would never see the original owner again, until one night...
Xie Zhuzhou was awakened by his "self" from his previous life.
"Hello!! Young Master! Long time no see! I've come to see you."
Xie Zhuzhou opened his eyes groggily and found himself in a chaotic gray world, with only the person in front of him, bearing the face of his past life, shining brightly white.
"Who are you..."
"I'm Xie Zhuzhou too, have you forgotten?"
"Ah, it's you! I have so much to tell you!" Xie Zhuzhou smiled and rolled up his sleeves.
The original owner of this body gaped in surprise and ran behind a tree to hide. He said fearfully, "What are you doing? Why are you trying to hit me right away?!"
"You gave me so much homework back then!"
Original owner. "..." Bro, it's just doing homework, is it really that big of a deal?
Taking advantage of the original owner's distraction, Xie Zhuzhou suddenly pressed his face close, scaring the original owner so much that he almost peed his pants.
"Holy crap, don't scare me with that face! Listen to me first!"
"Okay, then hurry up and tell me, or I'll hit you later."
Original owner. "..."
The original owner explained the cause and effect of his transmigration to ancient times, and how he was able to communicate with Xie Zhuzhou through a dream thanks to the national advisor's ritual.
She even told Xie Zhuzhou everything that had happened at the Marquis's residence. After listening, Xie Zhuzhou showed a hint of regret on his face, regretting that he hadn't said goodbye to his family properly.
But he couldn't be the only one regretting it, so he also told the original owner about almost everything that had happened in the modern world.
Original owner. "..."
"So my brothers are really good? Okay, actually your brothers are great too. And how's Xie Guanxia?"
Xie Zhuzhou recalled Xie Guanxia's story and told the original owner all the details of his time with Xie Guanxia. At the end, he also took the initiative to comfort her, saying, "You don't need to think too much. Just accept it calmly. We've switched lives now, and we both know our families' feelings. Nothing else can be changed."
"By the way, is your boyfriend good to you?" Xie Zhuzhou asked curiously.
"Fortunately, after we got married, I didn't even have a chance to use the whip that Brother Qingwu gave me. He's a bit clingy; every time he comes back from work, he wants to make ceramics with me and even learn carving together."
Xie Zhuzhou was delighted to hear that not only had he recovered his health in ancient times, but he had also found a good marriage. He was also glad that the once-powerful sea king had fallen.
"Actually, I've always been very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I probably would have died too." After a moment of silence, the original owner expressed his gratitude to Xie Zhuzhou.
"No need to thank me, we just swapped souls. I'm also grateful to you for not being destitute."
Original owner. "..." So this is the key point? Young master, you're too realistic!
"Since you've already asked about my husband, I'd like to ask you too, are you married over there?"
"To be honest, I'm very nervous about next month..."
In his dream, Xie Zhuzhou was facing the original owner of the body he knew inside and out. He also opened up a lot. In addition, he had recently increased the time he spent interacting and communicating with others, so he was no longer so closed off and no longer so resistant to the outside world.
"What's there to be nervous about? A wedding is just a set procedure; others will guide you along the way." Seeing how nervous he was, the original owner carefully comforted him.
"Sigh, never mind, let's not talk about that. You were able to use the Imperial Advisor's power, so you must have asked that person for help?"
After Xie Zhuzhou learned that he was actually a prince, everything made sense. In fact, he had a premonition long ago, but at that time he was suffering from illness and had no time to think about anything else, not to mention that he didn't even have enough time to read storybooks.
"Yes, I wrote a letter and asked my husband to take it to the Emperor."
"His Majesty is very pleased and feels indebted to you, young master, so he has asked the Imperial Advisor to do me a favor."
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Zhuzhou asked, "Aren't you worried that the Imperial Advisor will reveal that you're not the real person?"
"The Imperial Preceptor said that our souls being swapped was ordained by Heaven, and he will not reveal it, as doing so would affect his own cultivation."
Xie Zhuzhou: "Alright, is there anything else you want to say?"
The original owner was speechless. "Don't talk like you can just hang up the phone!"
He thought for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said softly, "Then can you take care of my parents for me? Although Ji Wuqiu has always let me grow up freely, I would definitely have a hard life without everything he has given me."
And then there's my mother, Xie Guanxia. After all, she's the one who gave birth to me. Although I've complained about her... I know she must have had her reasons. The reason I didn't let you visit her last time was because I didn't want to bother her... I always thought she had a new family."
Xie Zhuzhou sighed and patted his head, "Alright, I'll help you with this. Take good care of the Marquis's residence over there. If you need anything, just give me a call."
Original owner. "..."Don't think that the power of the Imperial Advisor can be used casually!
"It's goodbye forever, that imperial advisor is getting old." The original owner felt a little regretful, but even more so, she was overjoyed to be able to connect with Xie Zhuzhou via microphone.
He was content because he knew everything was alright over there and that his parents hadn't abandoned him on purpose.
Xie Zhuzhou's eyes also showed some melancholy. He slowly lowered his sleeves, deciding not to hit the original owner anymore.
"Alright, let's get down to business. Since we're related to the emperor by blood, let's make good use of that relationship."
Your husband is still young. In a few years, you can urge him to promote him. For now, just lay low. Once most of the princes are dead, you might be able to snag a good opportunity."
The original owner exclaimed in horror, "Forget it, I have no interest in being an emperor. I saw the emperor's schedule; even a donkey wouldn't work as hard as him!"
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." How can someone be as unambitious as him?! It seems his name will never have a chance to be remembered in history.
"I hadn't been thinking of helping him before, but after your reminder, I realized I should be prepared. Xiexie you," the original owner said sincerely.
"Alright, go back now and live your own life."
"Okay, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
