[It's him'¦]
[Pupa, come here, it's him, he actually follows me to this world.]
Pupa came out of a portal and checked what was happening, with only half of its body coming out of the portal. Pupa saw the man beside Bai Yunyu and was also surprised.
[Pupa: How could he exist here? The last world is a regular world without magic!]
[I know, right? But'¦ we've been experiencing this once, with Huang Shu suddenly exists in Long Zhen world, right?]
[Pupa: That's a different case. Huang Shu used the rewind stone that I told you before to advance in time because he missed you a lot. You can say that Long Zhen's world is actually the same world with this Ancient China world, just a few centuries after. Besides, Huang Shu is a master of the world, so it's still feasible.]
[Pupa: But this guy is not the master of any world we have. He's literally just a side character from the previous world...]
Yunyu remembered what he said before he finished Long Shen's world'¦
'Yunyu, if I can't have you in this life, then I will make sure that I can have you in another life. Mark my word.'
[Is this how he wants to do it? He follows me to the next world because he wants to prove it to me?]
[Pupa: Sounds too magical to believe.]
[Pupa'¦ you're a blatant, shameless copy of shiny Metapod, you're a floating orange thing that helped me to transmigrate from one world to another. And you still have the audacity to call something too magical?]
Bai Yunyu kept staring at the man who had just taken off his cover, and he muttered, "Aaron Xu'¦"
"Aaron Xu? Who the hell is that?" the man frowned. "We've just met, is it not? My name is Xu Jiansheng."
"A'Ah, pardon, it's an old friend of mine," Bai Yunyu said.
"Huh, your friend has a weird name," Xu Jiansheng said and raised his brow. "Your name is Empress Xiuying, right? It fits you, I guess. You look like a beautiful winter flower."
[Wow, even in this world'¦ Aaron Xu is still as sweet as ever.]
Bai Yunyu chuckled, "You don't need to lie to make me feel better. Empress Xiuying is my long abandoned title. I am not an Empress anymore. Just call me Bai Yunyu instead."
"Bai'¦ Yunyu'¦" Jiansheng felt familiar with this name, just like how he felt very familiar with Bai Yunyu's eyes. The moment their eyes met and a spark was created, Jiangsheng thought that he finally found something that he searched for in his life.
Maybe this was what they call love at first sight.
Someone who could warm his cold heart, especially after how much hatred he cultivated for two years after that ruthless Emperor destroyed everything and massacred his family.
But fate played such complicated string that he might have fallen in love with the wife of the man he hated so much.
'This can be a trap. This man'¦ even if my heart said so, I cannot be fooled,' Xu Jiansheng thought.
The banished Empress, Bai Yunyu, was so thin, brittle, and his hair was unkempt. It didn't seem that he had taken a bath or wore perfume often. Because this place was more like a prison than a courtyard.
But the Empress had such a gentle gaze that attracted Xu Jiansheng so much that he was dazed for a moment. He subconsciously mumbled, 'What a beauty'¦'
"Hm? Did you say something? Pardon, my hearing is not that good," Bai Yunyu asked.
Xu Jiansheng got up from the bed to separate himself from Bai Yunyu. This was crazy. No, he was crazy. How could he feel so erratic and nervous when facing this banished Empress? As if he had been longing to meet him for so long that he couldn't control himself now.
Xu Jiansheng turned his back so he wouldn't need to stare at Bai Yunyu again. He cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for saving me. Since I've agreed on a trade, then I will help to do your bidding. Just tell me what you want, and I will do it."
Bai Yunyu paused for a good while. He seemed to be thinking about something, maybe considering what request he wanted. He could ask for food, medicine, or a better coat and blanket to warm himself in this harsh winter. But after long consideration, he replied,
"You can return tomorrow. I will write a letter tonight. I'd want you to deliver the letter to His Majesty, Emperor Xianliang, once you met him."
"Huh? Delivering the letter to that bastard husband of yours?" Xu Jiansheng turned his head to look at Bai Yunyu again. He saw Bai Yunyu nodded.
"I cannot send any letter to him because it'll always get intercepted. And whenever I met him'¦ there is no such thing as civil discussion. It is also partly because of my stubbornness, though," Bai Yunyu said.
Xu Jiansheng got interested in the dynamic of this pair of the royal couple. It didn't seem to be a good one.
But Jiansheng didn't want to get entangled for too long. He didn't want to get entangled with Bai Yunyu for too long either since he felt strangely drawn towards this man for no apparent reason.
"Fine then, I will return tomorrow. Aish, why do you think I can deliver this to the Emperor? How could I meet with the Emperor?"
"I just know that you will," Bai Yunyu said assuringly.
Xu Jiansheng regretted his word now. He thought Bai Yunyu would request something more common, like food.
But now, he had to deliver a love letter from Yunyu to that bastard Emperor. He felt retch slowly built up as he imagined the sweet love of Yunyu with that guy. But a promise was a promise. Afterall Bai Yunyu had saved him, so he had to pay his debt.
Xu Jiansheng clicked his tongue annoyedly, "I'll return tomorrow."
He wore his cover again and was about to leave through the window, but he paused for a moment and then said, "Thanks for saving me."
***
After Xu Jiansheng left, Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu.
"Hm'¦ this is quite fascinating. Xu Jiansheng has the face of Aaron Xu. They are literally mirror image," Yunyu said. "And I can't believe that Aaron Xu/ Xu Jiansheng has such a pivotal role in the downfall of Huang Shu. It's almost like revenge."
"True, who would've expected that he's the leader of a rebel group who would topple Huang Shu in only two years from now," Pupa added.
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) "But it's quite baffling. Huang Shu is obviously in great condition and rules justly. How could Xu Jiansheng led a revolution when everyone is in great condition?" Yunyu pondered.
"That is also my question. It's not explained much here, but apparently, something happened, and it was such a big blow for Emperor Xianliang. He was unable to rule because of guilt, and he ruled in such a mess that he created chaos everywhere with his own hands," Pupa said. "So it's not hard for Xu Jiansheng to lead a revolution."
"What caused Huang Shu so much shock that he was unable to rule? He's so dedicated to being an emperor'¦" Yunyu was thinking for a moment, then realized that it was useless. Because he would know the reason later, right?
"Anyway, it's not really important. What important right now is to write a letter for Huang Shu!"
"Ah yeah, why do you want to write Huang Shu a love letter? I thought you dislike him for being so ignorant."
"Love letter? No! This one is a separation letter! Something similar to a divorce letter, but this is written from a broken hearted wife, hehe~ I will make sure that Huang Shu will feel so guilty, he cannot even get up from his bed!"
'¦
"I think I know the reason why Huang Shu cannot rule in clear mind," Pupa said.
"You do? It's not clearly written in the world background, though'¦"
"I just need to use my brain to know what will happen'¦"
'Should I tell him?'
'¦
'Nah, I shouldn't. Let him learn how much of an impact he had on Huang Shu. There's no way they can mend their relationship if everything continues like this,' Pupa had decided over it and let Yunyu write the broken hearted message for Huang Shu.
