Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(159) Traveled Through Time Because Of You

Chu Qing-Yan was somewhat surprised. The Retired Emperor actually wanted to look for her to have a private chat? This was too much of a thriller okay!

She took a glance at the Big Block of Ice at her side, she only saw him nod towards her indicating that she should not be nervous.

As a result under the Retired Emperor's urging, she immediately rushed to follow him.

They walked directly to a courtyard where the Retired Emperor stopped under a Chinese parasol tree. He unhurriedly turned around, his expression was not as careless as before, it carried a slight seriousness. "Yan girl, do you know the purpose for which I called you over?"

Chu Qing-Yan stared blankly for a short while, then smiled to say. "Grandpa Emperor, how would Qing-Yan know?"

The Retired Emperor stroke his beard, his pair of eyes had a trace of shrewdness when looking at her. "Could it be you don't want to ask me about the matter of the bestowed marriage?"

Chu Qing-Yan raised an eyebrow, and felt the person in front of her didn't treat her as a ten year old child. She also put away her simple and innocent smile as her lips bent up to ask. "Then would you tell it?"

The conversation between smart people didn't need beating about the bush.

The Retired Emperor laughed out loud. "The mysteries of the heaven must not be revealed. Yan girl, I can only say, set your mind at rest to be the little consort. Things you ought to know, sooner or later you would know."

Chu Qing-Yan's lips curled. Wasn't this the same as not saying anything?

Seeing her dejected face, the Retired Emperor's heart was very satisfied. The sullenness he had repressed for these several days was finally able to be released. Only he wasn't that kind of narrow minded petty person that would only search for opportunities to retaliate. (Author: Really? The Retired Emperor lightly coughed to gloss over this.)

The Retired Emperor linked his hand behind him, with his back to her and a tone that was somewhat serious, he said. "Yan girl, I know you come from a different world. I also know you are not part of Chu family. I violated the laws of heaven and brought you over to Tian Ying continent, in the hope that one day, you can help lend your strength to my grandson."

Chu Qing-Yan immediately become stupefied on the spot, what? That she was able to come here was all under the Retired Emperor's control. She opened her mouth, her heart had many questions. But she knew he still had words to say. She also knew that no matter what she asked, he was unlikely to tell her. In the end, she could only narrow her eyes and wait for what he wanted to say.

"It is in defiance of the natural order to change fate. In fact it was not simply for Xu'er, it was also for Western Xuan. However, at the bottom of what the reason is I can not tell you. I only wish you could treat Xu'er well. Since his birth, he never got proper happiness. I watched him grow up but was powerless to do anything. Life was often like this. He was destined to face more disasters than other people. I had already left the royal family, and also violated the heavenly laws. I already can not interfere in these matters. Therefore how the future will turn out depends on what you two alone take responsibility for. Happiness or maybe sadness, to live or die, will all depend on you guys' interaction." The Retired Emperor said his sincere and earnest wishes.

Chu Qing-Yan heard these words, was somewhat flabbergasted and also somewhat disbelieving. If he didn't say she came from a different world, maybe she would once again think the person in front of her was a swindler or a fortune teller.

Could it be that the concept of modern world atheism and the notion that science was not a supernatural being had no impact in this place?

In defiance of the natural order to change fate? What the heck was that?
