The room suddenly fell into silence. Even under the gentle candlelight, Zhou Jin's face had lost all color.
The prince's brother actually agreed to the marriage and said that this was the best ending for her.
At this time, Su Shi's heart became confused, because the prince's words contained so much information that he couldn't accept it for a while.
Marriage is the best outcome for the princess, which means that Zhou Jin has more than one ending among the secrets glimpsed in the prince's dream, which means that her fate is full of variables.
This simply made Su Shi confused.
Because in Su Shi's opinion, the so-called heavenly secret that Zhou Xuan glimpsed in his dream should have a mysterious connection with the future of this time and space, and thus he learned part of the history. He even learned some technologies and technologies that exist in the future. national policy.
But the problem now is that since Zhou Xuan's glimpse has become history, it means that in Zhou Xuan's understanding, the fate of both the country and the individual has been determined.
This also confirms what Pei Xuan said, what Zhou Xuan wants to change is Daqian's fate.
It's just that he can't even change his own destiny, so naturally he can't change Daqian's destiny.
Since the fate has been decided, why does Zhou Xuan say there are variables in Zhou Jin's fate? Where does this variable come from?
Or is it that his guess about Zhou Xuan was wrong, and that the secret he mentioned was not a glimpse into the history of this time and space?
Of course, judging from the current situation, his own existence is definitely a variable for Zhou Jin, but Su Shi does not believe that Zhou Xuan could predict that he would come to this time and space ten years ago.
If he could even predict this, then Zhou Xuan would be a god.
Su Shi's mind was spinning very quickly, and many questions immediately came to mind from Zhou Xuan's words, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of the answer to each question.
Then he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and suddenly thought of those strange dreams he had had. Could the answer really be found in dreams?
It's just that he can't remember the scene in the dream at all, and he doesn't know when he will have such a magical dream again.
If the so-called secret is really the history of this time and space, is knowing the history a good thing for yourself?
Su Shi also couldn't answer this question.
"Since even the prince brother thinks that marriage is the best choice, why did the father change his mind?" Su Shi was still confused when he suddenly heard Zhou Jin ask quietly.
"Because of Su Shi." Zhou Yi said thoughtfully: "Although I don't understand why the prince thinks that marrying the emperor is the best choice, I know that our Zhou family is closely related to the national destiny of Daqian."
"If Dagan encounters a catastrophe, our Zhou family will naturally bear the brunt. If Dagan is stable, how can those mere barbarians be worthy of my princess of Dagan."
At this time, Su Shi couldn't help but wonder at the side: "Did the prince agree to the marriage to allow the princess to avoid trouble?"
Zhou Yi sighed and said: "The prince and Pingle brother and sister have a deep love. It must be that the secret that the prince has glimpsed makes it difficult for Daqian to survive this catastrophe, so this arrangement was made to keep Pingle safe."
Su Shi was still a little puzzled: "Didn't His Majesty ask for the reason?"
Zhou Yi looked melancholy and seemed to have infinite regret: "I was about to ask further questions, but something important happened at this time, interrupting our conversation."
"Is it important?" Su Shi was a little surprised, because in his opinion, nothing was as important as this at that time.
There was a hint of bitterness on Zhou Yi's face. He looked at Zhou Jin and said slowly: "I was about to ask the prince about Tianji in detail. At this time, your mother rushed to the Imperial Palace crying all the way and said that you were invaded by wind evil. You were convulsing, your face turned blue, and you were in critical condition. After hearing this, your brother, the prince, and I were anxious and had no mood to talk about it anymore, so we hurried to Fengyang Pavilion. It wasn't until the sky turned white that your condition stabilized."
"That night, everyone stayed up all night, and I no longer had the energy to ask the prince. I originally wanted to wait until night to summon the prince to ask, but who knew that the political affairs were busy that day, and the matter was delayed."
Zhou Yi seemed to have infinite regret in his heart, and his eyes looked extremely painful: "If I had summoned the prince that night, I would not have let the prince fall into Pei Xun's trap."
After hearing this, Su Shi felt a chill on his back even in this hot weather, because he thought of the word God's will again.
As Zhou Yi said, if he had summoned the prince that night, the two would have discussed it for a long time. After all, Zhou Yi would have asked in detail about matters involving heavenly secrets. And as long as the moment Pei Xun mentioned passed, Zhou Jin would naturally know that he had overcome the disaster, and Pei Xun's plan might not work.
But that night Zhou Yi was delayed due to political matters. Su Shi couldn't think of whether this was a coincidence or God's will?
And just because he couldn't figure it out, Su Shi suddenly felt confused, because if the emperor's death was really God's will, and it was obvious that Pei Xun was following God's will, then could he fight against God's will?
Zhou Jin seemed to have thought of this key point, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
The calmest person in the room was Zhou Yi. He looked directly at Su Shi and his expression suddenly became serious: "Do you know why I came here tonight?"
Even though Su Shi's mind was very confused now, he already knew the purpose of Zhou Yi's coming, so he took a long breath and replied slowly: "Your Majesty came here tonight, firstly, to know whether the common people are as Your Majesty thought, or not. Not to get a glimpse of the secrets, but secondly to see if the common people have the ability to protect Her Highness the Princess."
"Now you should know that if you want to protect Pingle, you must protect the peace of Daqian, and if you want to protect the peace of Daqian, you must thwart Pei Xuan's conspiracy."
Su Shi sighed softly: "The common people understand. The common people should do their best to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess."
At this point, he looked at Zhou Yi's expression and suddenly became hesitant, as if there were some words he couldn't say.
Naturally, his thoughts could not escape Zhou Yi's eyes. He said slowly: "If you want to ask anything, just ask."
This was what Su Shi was waiting for, so he immediately asked, "Has Pei Xuan also performed divination for His Majesty?"
After hearing Su Shi's question, Zhou Yi's face gradually became serious, but in the end he nodded with difficulty.
"How is the result?"
"The result is consistent with the secret that the prince has glimpsed."
"Then what?"
Zhou Yi stood there with a solemn expression. He was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "I reigned for seventeen years and passed away on July 17, the seventeenth year of Hexing."
Zhou Jin's expression became extremely panicked and frightened. She couldn't help but let out a scream, and then covered her lips with force, but Zhou Yi and Su Shi could still clearly hear the sound of her teeth chattering.
