Chapter 133 If It Doesn't Work, Let's Take Shifts
Xiao Huaimin paced back and forth nervously in the imperial study. Emperor Baili Quan couldn't help shaking his head when he saw him like this.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. The commander of the Imperial Guard just reported that they did not find any trace of the little girl in the base of the Great Yin people. Don't worry too much."
Ji Lian was speechless. His sister sent someone to bring a message to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion asking him to go to the palace and keep a close eye on Xiao Huaimin. He didn't expect it was just for this matter.
At this time, the young eunuch hurried in from outside the door and whispered something to Yuanfu, the senior eunuch beside Baili Quan. Yuanfu immediately walked up to Baili Quan and said,
"Your Majesty, General Xiao sent someone to report that another hiding place of a great thief was found in the barracks in the north of the city."
Baili Quan said seriously,
"what happened?"
Yuanfu replied respectfully,
"It is said that the Dayin people detained several doctors from Daxing and had them secretly learn acupuncture in a cave in the north of the city. When they were discovered, they used gunpowder to blow up the cave."
Yuanfu glanced at Xiao Huaimin quietly, his tone somewhat hesitant.
"I heard that the two successors of the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang were also tied up there. Not only that, but also the eldest son of the Meng family, the second daughter of the Su family, Mr. Wenzhu of the Bamboo Shadow Pavilion, and... Miss Jiang was also there."
Xiao Huaimin immediately perked up.
"Nannan is there too? How is Nannan now?"
Baili Quan waved his hand towards Xiao Huaimin, signaling him to calm down.
"Don't worry, Xiao Aiqing. Just listen to what Yuanfu has to say."
Yuanfu spoke carefully.
"The cave was detonated and the entire cave collapsed. Miss Jiang and Master Wenzhu did not escape in time. Now Master Wenzhu has been rescued, but Miss Jiang is missing..."
When Xiao Huaimin heard this, he almost fainted.
"You...you said Nan Nan..."
Ji Lian supported Xiao Huaimin and tried to comfort him,
"Old Xiao, don't be anxious. Nothing has been determined yet."
What is going on? Ji Lian felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have called a few more people. Comforting people is not his strong point.
Baili Quan saw Xiao Huaimin's anxious look and gave an order.
"Ask Yebiaochun to bring people over to help. We must find Jiang Tunan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Huaimin bowed his head to thank him, but the worry on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
Elsewhere, Jiang Tunan raised his eyebrows at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like him.
"You? Jiang Tunan?"
The woman had delicate makeup on her face and her clothes were gorgeous and beautiful. Although she had the same face as Jiang Tunan, her temperament was completely different.
"Jiang Tunan? Such a familiar name, but now my name is Jiang Shouyan."
There seemed to be persistence in Jiang Shouyan's eyes, but it soon disappeared. Jiang Tunan looked at Jiang Shouyan with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"What? You didn't expect I was still here?"
Jiang Shouyan suddenly showed a vicious smile and said cruelly to Jiang Tunan,
"From today on, I will replace you and take over everything from you."
Jiang Tunan held his chin and thought carefully. Replace him? Learn the rules at 8 am every day? Study for the girls' college entrance exam until the early morning? Work at the Imperial Medical Bureau from 9 am to 6 pm?
There are people who are willing to live a life worse than pigs and dogs.
Jiang Tunan said with a hint of pity,
"Don't force yourself. If it doesn't work, we can take turns."
Jiang Shouyan:...
Jiang Shouyan put away his vicious look, and smiled helplessly.
"I lied to you. In fact, I have been dead for a long time. You still have to live this hard life, hehe."
Jiang Tunan: ...
"Then what are you doing here? Observing Maluo's daily life? You are really vicious..."
Jiang Tunan covered his heart with his hands, looking hurt, as if he was silently accusing Jiang Shouyan.
Jiang Shouyan felt a little guilty when Jiang Tunan looked at him, so he answered in a profound way.
"I didn't! You were almost dead, but luckily I saved you."
Jiang Shouyan winked at Jiang Tunan playfully, and Jiang Tunan felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.
"What do you mean by not dead yet?"
Jiang Shouyan smiled widely.
"You might be slightly injured when you wake up, but your life will be saved."
"I don't want to go back, I want to go home! Please send me back to the 21st century, whoever wants to be the cousin can do it!"
Jiang Tunan grabbed Jiang Shouyan's shoulders and shook him wildly. When she pushed Wen Zhu away, she was thinking that she might as well die. Maybe she could return to the modern world after she died.
I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You would have died a long time ago in your era. Your body has already been cremated. How can you go back?"
Jiang Shouyan pushed Jiang Tunan away and looked at her in confusion. Jiang Tunan stood there, a little bit unbelieving.
"Wha...what? I'm dead? I just took a nap, how could I die?"
Jiang Shouyan had a little pity in his eyes and patted Jiang Tunan's shoulder to comfort him.
"You don't remember, do you? You worked for 30 hours straight and then collapsed on the bed in the duty room and died suddenly. Have you forgotten? You had a heart disease."
Jiang Tunan was struck by lightning. She seemed to remember that she had asked for leave from her teaching teacher because she was feeling chest tightness and discomfort. The teacher asked her to go to the duty room to rest first, and then she fell on the bed in the duty room.
Just before he passed out, his phone was playing an audio novel, which was the book "The Lovely Girl Falls on the Goose, Where Can the Young Prime Minister Escape?"
Jiang Tunan fell silent, lowering her head so that no one could see her expression. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that the old man and old woman in her family would be sad after knowing her death.
"I know you're sad, but don't you want to know why you came in here?"
Jiang Shouyan blinked and looked at Jiang Tunan expectantly.
"I don't want to know. I'm already dead anyway."
Jiang Tunan squatted aside, not wanting to talk to anyone. Jiang Shouyan said anxiously beside her,
"As long as you can change the plot, you can go back!"
Jiang Tunan stood up in shock. Seeing Jiang Tunan's reaction, Jiang Shouyan continued,
"You were originally dead, but as long as you can change the plot of some people here, you can be reborn in modern times."
Jiang Tunan was puzzled.
"Change the plot? Why?"
Jiang Shouyan's expression became strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Because... because this world has been destroyed once before, so we need to make plot corrections to prevent it from being destroyed again."
Jiang Shouyan sighed, his expression became serious, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, then he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Tunan seriously.
"So this is an exchange. You help the cannon fodder character to be reborn, and we will help you to be reborn."
Jiang Shouyan's appearance was exactly the same as the appearance Jiang Tunan had seen in his dream before he died.
The same sadness, the same helplessness.
"Can I really come back to life?"
Jiang Tunan still had doubts.
"I swear on my soul that as long as you complete the task, you will be able to return to the modern world and become a medical student again, Jiang Nan."
