“Do you know who I am right now?” she asked, smiling.
“Your reincarnation. Am I right?”
“How are you so sure?”
“If not, you wouldn’t have attended my wedding so calmly. If not, you would have cooped yourself up in your room and cried non-stop. Even if you didn’t cry, you’d have been incredibly devastated. If not, you wouldn’t have asked to see me last night. Even if I came to look for you, you would’ve locked me outside the door.”
An Xiaoning gazed at him affectionately and said, “I love you.”
“Repeat yourself.”
“I love you very, very much.”
Slightly agitated, he hugged her tightly in his embrace.
At this very moment, the door was opened forcefully.
The person who opened the door had witnessed them hugging each other. An Xiaoning sprung up from her seat in astonishment the moment she saw her.
She kept her eyes fixed on the woman at the door, feeling a sudden chill down her spine.
The reason being, the woman standing by the door looked exactly identical to Bu Xianxian before her plastic surgery.
“You…” Before she could even speak, Yu Jiao was pushed into the room by the new princess consort’s servants.
“How dare this little lass stop me from coming in. How did you even discipline your servant? Seems like she’s just as rude as her master is,” she sneered. An Xiaoning dreaded seeing Bu Xianxian’s face.
“Why are you here?” he questioned in displeasure while standing up with his hands behind his back.
“To look for you, of course. Your Highness, I have some questions for you.”
“What is it?”
“It won’t be convenient to talk about it here. Please come with me to my room, Your Highness.”
Seemingly having guessed something, he turned around and left.
Princess cCnsort Mu glowered at An Xiaoning before leaving.
Once they entered the room, Princess Consort Mu said straightforwardly, “I may have been in a daze last night, but I know that you didn’t get intimate with me. It was our nuptial night last night, yet you actually made me…”
“You spiked your own drink and pleasured yourself. What else is there to say?”
“Who did you look for to satisfy your urges, then? Was it that woman earlier?”
“Are you finished yet?”
“I’m asking you a question!” she screeched, raising her voice and allowing her true colors to show.
Instead of answering her, he left straight away, greatly infuriating her and causing her to smash everything in sight to vent her anger.

“Young Sir, why hasn’t Young Madam woken up yet? It’s already been two days,” Fan Shixin said worriedly.
Jin Qingyan answered, “The eunuch is getting worried while the emperor is still calm.”
“Young Sir, I’m not a eunuch!”
“I was just making an analogy…”
Fan Shixin asked again, “Shall we take her to the hospital?”
“No need for that, she’ll wake up soon enough. By the way, when will Yu Yiwei be arriving?”
“She’s already on the plane and she should be landing this afternoon.”
“Alright, arrange for her to live in a private suite. We’ll know if the treatment is effective once we put her to the test. You may go out.”
“Yes…”
Fan Shixin exited, closing the door after him.
Jin Qingyan sat on the couch with his laptop on his lap.
Ever since An Xiaoning slipped into unconsciousness, he had stopped going to the office and began working from home instead. As for the documents that could not be handled online, he would leave them to his secretary.
Although he kept his cool on the surface, he was overwhelmed with worry deep down.
He would periodically take a glance at her even while he was working.
Some time later, he heard the sounds of her murmuring. He looked up to see that she had woken up and frantically placed his notebook aside to take a look at her.
“You’re up?”
“Yes… what time is it?” An Xiaoning asked, gazing at him and caressing his face.
“Ten in the morning.”
She grunted and struggled to get up. “How long have I been asleep for?”
“Two days.”
“That’s about the same as how long my dream felt. Ah, I was so scared.” An Xiaoning picked up the glass of water beside her bed and chugged it down in one go.
“What’s wrong?”
“I dreamt that you had gotten married to the princess of Chi Dan. You definitely wouldn’t have expected it to be her.”
“Who is she?”
An Xiaoning burst into laughter and answered, “Bu Xianxian.”
“Who? Bu Xianxian?” he asked with a frown.
“The pre-surgery Bu Xianxian.” Hugging her knees while sitting on the bed, she recounted the incidents of the dream and explained them to him in detail.
“You mean, Bu Xianxian was the Princess Consort Mu in our previous lifetime?” Jin Qingyan questioned in disbelief.
“Correct.” After a moment of silence, An Xiaoning grabbed her mobile phone and swiftly dialed Fan Shixin’s number.
“Shixin, keep a close eye on Bu Xianxian. I want to hear everything about her by tomorrow.”
After ending the call, she said, “We can’t let our guard down against her.”
“I don’t care about her at all. Shall I get Auntie Chen to cook you something to eat?”
“Alright. I shall go take a shower.”
He stood up and exited the door while An Xiaoning entered the bathroom in her slippers.
She returned downstairs forty minutes later in a fresh set of clothes, appearing much more refreshed.
There was already an array of dishes on the dining table.
She sat down and began eating. Jin Qingyan then said to her, “Someone trespassed on our house last night.”
“Trespassed? Who? Have you caught the trespasser yet?”
“No, we have guards on duty round the clock. Even a fly can’t enter. However, the anti-theft system was deliberately damaged. We’ve gotten it repaired, but there are no footages recorded by the surveillance cameras. It seems like the trespasser was a man, judging from the traces left behind.”
“Could it be the Emperor from our previous lifetime? Perhaps he’s afraid that we would regain our memory of the previous lifetime and take revenge on him. Hence, he decided to take action on us first.”
“I won’t rule out that possibility.”
An Xiaoning said, “However, if the Emperor and Pei Yi are the same person, how could he possibly be unable to enter? Didn’t you say that he was extremely powerful?”
“Perhaps he didn’t come personally and sent his subordinates instead.”
Everything seemed to have made more sense.
“I’ll go to the police station later and obtain a simulated sketch based on my description of Xihou Jiaping. We will then send the sketch to Pei Yi and deduce if our guess was correct.”
“Good idea. Pei Yi’s reaction will give it all away.”
….
The moment she drove out of Wei Ni Estate, she began sensing that something was amiss. She was being tailed by another car that pulled it off skilfully and did not appear to be tailing her at all on the surface.
However, she still discovered it nonetheless.
An Xiaoning gripped the steering wheel and kept her eyes fixed on the roads ahead while traveling at a constant speed, as if she had no idea that she was being tailed.
She thought that she was merely being tailgated. To her astonishment, the perpetrator was extremely brazen.
