Two hours later, Ning Bianyi’s spies returned.

It was dinner time at the Ning Mansion. There were wine and dishes on the magnificent dining table. The roast goose was raised high and its long beak was facing the east, implying that purple qi came from the east.

Normally speaking, this was something that only emperors would do when they held banquets, but Ning Bian usually ate like this at home.

The spy entered the room and whispered a few words into his ear. The teacup in Ning Bianyi’s hand trembled.

“What?!” He widened his eyes in shock, looking as if he had seen a ghost. “Old

Master Bian really agreed to enter the palace to see that devil concubine?”

The spy also couldn’t believe it, but it was the truth. He could only nod resentfully.

“She’s really demoness!” Ning Bianyi was puzzled. He had not even had the chance to see Old Master Bian’s face!

“Even Old Master Bian fell for her trick. In another two years, will the Great Shang have an Empress?”

“Father, you think too highly of her.” Ning Lihua didn’t want to say anything at first. The teacher her father had hired had always taught her not to talk while eating. However, her father’s words became more and more exaggerated and she couldn’t bear to listen to him anymore.

“If she can become the Empress, then your daughter can too!”

Ning Bian glanced at her and was amused. “You’re quite ambitious, little girl. You didn’t disappoint me.”

Ning Lihua was in a good mood. She leaned forward and said mysteriously,

“father, I’m not ambitious. I had my fortune read by a master the other day…” “Oh?” Ning Bian picked up the roast goose head and put it into his bowl. “What does the divination say?”

Ning Lihua said, “Master said something about my future children. He gave me two words.”

“What words?” Ning Bianyi asked.

Ning Lihua said proudly, “dragon and phoenix.”

Ning Bianyi was overjoyed. His eyes lit up. “Is it the meaning of a dragon and phoenix among men?

“That must be it.” Ning Lihua said, “what else could it mean?”

The father and daughter looked at each other and laughed. Their laughter gradually became exaggerated and even wild.

The spy who was standing by the side:

It wasn’t the first time he saw Old Master and the Young Miss in such a scary manner, but he still had goosebumps all over his body, indicating that he was not used to it at all!!!

When Su Ji invited White Dragon Master into the palace, she treated him politely.

She had sent the most beautiful golden sedan to carry him into the palace.

However, the palanquin was too exquisite. Bian Guanshi sat in it and occasionally looked around. He saw the curtains made of jewelry, the gold and silver decorations that girls liked, and the rouge fragrance in the palanquin.

She sent her own sedan to pick him up. If this got out, his reputation would be ruined.

After entering the palace, the White Dragon Master was brought into Consort Dowager’s room.

He stood at the main entrance of the bedroom hall and raised his head to look at the plaque in front of the hall. A moment later, he followed the palace servants into the hall.

Once they entered the main hall, they could smell the rouge fragrance again. The curtain of the inner hall was lifted, and two figures appeared.

The source of the rouge fragrance was Su Ji, and Wu Zhu’er was helping her hold up the curtain.

“This old man greets the Consort Dowager.”

Su Ji raised her hand. “Old Master Bian, you don’t have to be so polite.”

She raised her chin to the seat beside her, and Bian Guanshi sat down beside her.

Wu Zhu’er stood beside Su Ji while Ai Yan and Ai Meng watched the tea.

Su Ji picked up her teacup and said with a calm expression, “I wonder if I’ve interrupted your reminiscence with Prince Huai.”

Her words were very tactful. She did not ask Bian Guanshi if he was with Prince Huai today. Instead, she skipped that step and directly asked if she had disturbed them.

Bian Guanshi smiled and replied calmly, “Prince Huai is only here to see me. There’s nothing urgent, so you’re not disturbing us.” Su Ji smiled.

She knew that this old fellow was not easy to deal with.

Su Ji raised her hand and waved it gently. Wu Zhu’er bowed and left with Ai Yan and Ai Meng.

Only she and Bian Guanshi were left in the main hall.

Su Ji went straight to the point. “I heard that you know everything about the world. I wonder if you’ve heard of it…a body…might contain two souls?”

If anyone else were to ask such a bizarre question, they would have thought that she was crazy. However, Bian Guanshi only stroked his beard and looked calm. “Generation after generation, life after life, it should be the same person by all accounts. But the subtlety of the world’s mysteries lies in the word ‘change.’ Everything has its exceptions. It a reincarnated person evolves their own will, then a strange occurrence of one body with two souls will appear.”

Su Ji rubbed her chin.

So that was the case.

No wonder her past and present lives were different from Pei Huai’s.

Pei Huai’s past and present lives were actually the same person. It was just like the past and future him in the modern world. It was just that the time in between was longer, spanning a thousand years.

However, her relationship with her original body was completely different.

Bian Guanshi pointed it out.

In short, there was a bug in her reincarnation, and she split her own will, turning from one person into two, and her souls swapped and transmigrated.

“Then if two souls want to exchange bodies…” Su Ji placed her arm on the edge of the table. “Is there any way?”

“About this…” Bian Guanshi’s eyes quickly drifted to the side. “I don’t know.”

Su Ji narrowed her eyes.

Was he feeling guilty?

He was obviously lying, right?

Su Ji leaned over and looked at his expression. “You don’t know?”

Bian Guanshi glanced at her again. “I don’t know.”

Su Ji:

Later, the two of them talked a bit more. Su Ji’s offense was strong, but Bian Guanshi’s defense was flawless.

Even though Su Ji could tell that he was lying, he insisted that he knew nothing.

There was a flawless smile on his face.

Another two hours passed, and the sound of the night watch came from outside the hall. If Su Ji had a male guest in the room, he would have to bring more than ten books to her memorial tomorrow.

Even if the other party was an old gentleman who was ten years older than Grandpa Tyrant.

Su Ji rubbed her temples and let Bian Guanshi leave.

Bian Guanshi stood up and bowed.

When the guests were about to leave, Wu Zhu’er, Ai Yan, and Ai Meng came in from outside again.

“Don’t send me off.” Bian Guanshi raised his hand.

Wu Zhu’er smiled sweetly and said, “Old Sir, let us send you out. This is Consort Dowager’s kind gesture. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Bian Guanshi followed the voice and looked at Wu Zhu’er.

His gaze, which should have been retracted immediately, lasted for a few more seconds.

His expression was mysterious.

Su Ji keenly caught his strange expression and said with a smile, “Old Master, do you know my assistant?”
