Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 540 She’s Back Again

"Miss, Miss, wake up! Miss, if you don't get up, it will be too late!"

A voice kept lingering in his ears, accompanied by waves of shaking, which woke up Shen Wantang, who was suffering from a splitting headache.

She opened her eyes, the pain from the poison still seemed to be there, but she ignored the pain and nausea in her chest. She asked in disbelief, "Dujuan? Are you okay?"

"What can I do?"

Du Juan looked at her strangely and couldn't help but urge her, "Miss, it's almost dawn, you have to get up and get ready!"

Miss?

Ever since she married into Prince Ning's Mansion, Dujuan no longer called her that.

Only then did Shen Wantang realize that Du Juan's clothes were very different from the ones she wore in the palace. They were old, faded, and ill-fitting.

She glanced at the house again. How could this be the Ning Wang Mansion? This was clearly the small courtyard where she lived in the Shen family before she got married!

She reached out and held Dujuan's hand. Feeling the warmth of her palm, she couldn't help but hold Dujuan tightly and closed her eyes.

She's back again!

What is this? Is she neither alive nor dead? Or is she trapped in a certain time and space forever?

The last time she found out she was reborn, she was very happy and felt that she was very lucky to have another chance to start over.

Now, she no longer felt joy in her heart, but she also didn't feel unhappy.

After all, you're alive again, right?

And her last life was not in vain. She finally knew that she did not die of a cold, but was poisoned.

Shen Wantang opened her eyes, a murderous look on her face. He had killed her twice, and now it was her turn to kill the Seventh Princess!

If she dies at the hands of the Seventh Princess again this time, she will no longer be named Shen!

Seeing her like this, Du Juan couldn't help but feel a little scared: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"

Shen Wantang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said gently: "It was a nightmare, but it's okay now. You just told me to get up and prepare? Prepare for what?"

Du Juan looked at her strangely: "Miss, have you forgotten? Madam took you and the eldest daughter to visit Prince Ning's mansion today. You told me to wake you up early yesterday."

Visit Prince Ning’s Mansion?

Shen Wantang understood that Princess Ning had not yet decided on a daughter-in-law, but she had taken a fancy to both her and Shen Mingxuan, and wanted to choose one of them to be the Crown Prince's consort for Xiao Qingyuan.

I just don’t know whether Shen Mingxuan came back with her this time.

She shook her head at Du Juan and said, "It's just a visit. There's no rush. There's no need to dress up today. It's not even dawn yet. Go back to sleep for a while!"

Du Juan was puzzled: "But Miss, you said yesterday that you must dress up meticulously today, why did you change your mind today? Don't you want to marry into the Ning Wang Mansion and become the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"forget about it."

"Ah?! Why?"

"Because I'm really annoyed with Xiao Qingyuan."

Du Juan tilted her head and thought for a long time before she asked tentatively, "Miss, do you dislike the fact that Master Xiao became a monk? Or do you dislike the fact that he was willing to die for Miss Chu? Didn't you say before that none of this mattered?"

Just as Shen Wantang was about to speak, there was a sound of a flower pot breaking outside.

Du Juan immediately became alert: "Miss, the mechanism you made has been triggered, and someone has climbed over the wall to get in! Please stay still in the room, I will go out and take a look!"

But before she could finish her words, Shen Wantang had already gotten out of bed and walked out quickly without even putting on her shoes.

It was still dark and the light was dim.

But even if the light was dim, Shen Wantang recognized the person who climbed over the wall at a glance.

He walked towards her step by step, and his angular face gradually became clear in the dim light.

The next moment, she was held in his arms.

Du Juan, who was running after her, was shocked. She was about to shout for help, but she saw her young lady also reached out and hugged the man.

Dujuan had no choice but to swallow her scream and she retreated back into the house.

Shen Wantang didn't care about the maid at this moment. She hugged Gu Qianhan, feeling his heartbeat and breathing, her eyes a little red.

"Gu Qianhan."

"Well, I'm here."

"Why are we back?"

Gu Qianhan tightened his arms around her waist and whispered, "I don't know, but I think it's probably because you came back that I was able to come back. I used to think that when the abbot of Fazhen Temple said that my chance of survival lies with you, he meant that you could help me succeed in my rebellion, but now it seems that he didn't mean that. The chance he meant was that I could be reborn with you."

Shen Wantang didn't feel that she had any hope, nor did she feel that he came back because of her.

Actually, these are not that important. What matters is that he is still alive.

She raised her hand and touched his face. Thinking of how he looked before he died, she still felt a little pain in her heart.

Gu Qianhan's hand covered hers, just as her hand had covered his hand when he touched her face before he died.

He whispered, "Did I scare you this time? I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Shen Wantang didn't know what was wrong with her. He didn't say anything, but her tears fell uncontrollably.

Gu Qianhan suddenly panicked: "Atang, don't cry, I won't do that again, I won't leave you alone again."

He hurriedly wiped Shen Wantang's tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances of her past life.

His heart ached terribly, but at the same time, he felt a little happy.

He had been pestering her for so long, forcing his way into her world shamelessly, and finally there was some effect - he seemed to have really squeezed into her heart.

The sky was slightly brightening, and the first ray of morning sunlight shone on her face, making her tears sparkle and sparkle. Her clear and beautiful eyes were filled with regret and resentment, as if she was blaming him for dying in front of her again.

He had never known before that she had such a side.

His usually cold and hard heart softened completely. He hugged the girl tightly and whispered, "Marry me this time, and don't marry anyone else."

Shen Wantang raised her head and glared at him: "Who wants to marry you? Wouldn't I be a widow if I marry you?"

Gu Qianhan's voice sounded a little serious: "Third time is better than last time. If I don't succeed this time, I won't have the face to say I'll marry you."

"Then wait until you succeed."

"Then you have to promise me that you won't marry anyone else."

"How can I make the decision on my own regarding marriage? My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, I will naturally listen to my father and mother."

"You're trying to fool me, right? Others may not know your abilities, but I do. Who can be your master?"

"Then tell me first, who betrayed you and caused you to lose your life."
