Chapter 465 She is From the Future

Chapter 465: She Comes from the Future

Ji Yuntang wasn't just treating people at random; her medical skills were grounded in practical theory and scientific research.

Compared to the medical standards of the Dongchen Kingdom, what was written here was clearly far more professional.

As Luo Junhe put the books back, he caught sight of a framed picture out of the corner of his eye.

He pushed his wheelchair over to take a look and discovered that the people in the frame looked exactly like him and Ji Yuntang.

Even the clothes they wore, the headpieces, and the expressions on their faces were all moments they had shared together.

It suddenly hit him—wasn't this the scene from New Year's Eve?

They were holding hands, leaning into each other, with fireworks bursting across the sky behind them.

In the past, Luo Junhe might have naively assumed some painter had captured them so vividly it looked real.

But after what he'd witnessed today, he knew this couldn't have been painted by human hands—it was done through something called technology.

Luo Junhe stared at it for a long while before carefully setting the frame down.

He left the study, and something in another room caught his eye.

These items were all too familiar to Luo Junhe—they were the skincare products and face masks Ji Yuntang sold at the Evening Makeup Pavilion.

Each one came in a set box, exquisitely packaged yet elegant and understated.

He picked up a set and checked the production info on the back, only to be stunned to see it read: Huaxia Country, August 17, 2426.

Luo Junhe was shocked.

In all his years, he'd never heard of a country called Huaxia, and there was no such place on this continent.

Could it be that his little princess consort wasn't from the Dongchen Kingdom, but from Huaxia?

Brimming with questions, Luo Junhe left the room and pushed open the third door—and what he saw shocked him all over again.

Because that room was stacked with gold, silver, and jewels from this very dynasty.

On the floor, Luo Junhe found the betrothal gift list Luo Jingshen had given Ji Qingqing, along with the account books of the Blood Rain Sect.

He furrowed his brow. He knew about the theft of the Blood Rain Sect's treasury and was well aware Ji Yuntang was behind it.

When Hua Feixue had come looking for her before, Ji Yuntang had admitted it herself. At the time, Luo Junhe had figured she'd hired people to empty the Blood Rain Sect's treasury.

Now, looking at this, things were clearly not what he'd imagined.

He suddenly remembered that when Ji Yuntang had first married into the Prince Ye's mansion, she'd once taken him to a secret base.

There, he could smell medicine and hear the "beeping" of machines running.

But back then, he was blind and deeply depressed, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now that he thought about it, the place Ji Yuntang had taken him to might very well be this very space.

Just as he was mulling this over, a figure suddenly walked in from outside.

When Ji Yuntang saw Luo Junhe, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"A He, so you're here! I looked everywhere for you and couldn't find you—you nearly scared me to death!"

When Luo Junhe saw her, he couldn't help asking eagerly, "A Tang, what exactly is this place, and who are you?"

Ji Yuntang knew that after hiding it for so long, it was time to tell him the truth about where she came from.

So she confessed everything to Luo Junhe: "This is my space. I come from two thousand years in the future—what you'd call the future."

"I was a military doctor. I died from overwork—staying up too late doing experiments—and that's how I ended up in the body of Ji Yuntang, who had the same name. When I got here, the original owner had already died from poisoning, so I took her place and married you, becoming your princess."

"I know the original owner was the true daughter of the Marquis Yongning's household, and I know she was killed by her so-called family. I used her body to live again, and I swore I'd avenge her and make the Marquis Yongning's household and Ji Qingqing pay."

Ji Yuntang paused, looked down at Luo Junhe, and asked tentatively, "A He, now that you know where I came from, are you afraid of me?"

Luo Junhe shook his head, his expression as gentle as ever. "No. Not now, and not in the future."

He'd never heard of the concept of a soul inhabiting a borrowed body, but he trusted Ji Yuntang without question.

A person's looks could change, but it was impossible for their personality and abilities to change so drastically in such a short time.

She wasn't the original Ji Yuntang, but she'd borrowed her body—and from now on, she would be his only wife.

With that thought, Luo Junhe suddenly asked, "A Tang, since you come from the future, were you afraid when you first saw me?"

Ji Yuntang smiled. "When I first saw you, all I felt was heartache and sadness. I didn't know what you'd been through, but I could see the tenacity of life in you. I thought a hero who defended his country should stand at the top of the mountains, not end up like this."

"At that moment, I decided to make you my first patient in this strange world. I was determined to heal you."

"And as it turned out, I did. Maybe even the heavens felt sorry for what you went through, which is why they sent me here to help you."

A warm feeling surged through Luo Junhe's heart, and he grabbed Ji Yuntang's hand.

"A Tang, I won't let you down. I'll give you a peaceful, stable life."

Ji Yuntang curled her red lips and smiled at him. "I believe you."

She then glanced at the sky outside and said, "A He, it's already dawn. Let's head out."

"Close your eyes, hold my hand, and I'll take you out."

Luo Junhe did as she said, gripping her hand tightly.

When he opened his eyes again, they were back in the room in the West Courtyard.

Luo Junhe's mind was still reeling. Everything he'd seen that night felt like a dream.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he truly wouldn't have believed his little princess consort had such an incredible ability.

After Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe finished breakfast together, Luo Sinian sent word that he'd loaded the five hundred assassin corpses onto carts and delivered them all to the Court of Judicial Review for examination.

Once the examination was done, they could enter the palace to see the Emperor.

Luo Junhe curled his lips slightly in approval and praised, "Eighth Brother handled this well—he made the matter public without making it too ugly."

"I believe once Father Emperor hears about this, he won't be able to turn a blind eye anymore. It's time he gave the Prince Ye's mansion the justice it's owed."

Inside the courtyard of the Court of Judicial Review, rows of corpses were laid out neatly. Three coroners were examining them off to the side, while Luo Sinian recounted what had happened to Xu Muyan.

When Ji Huaiche walked in and saw the scene, he was utterly dumbfounded.

What had he just heard? Five hundred assassins had launched a surprise attack on the Prince Ye's mansion, and Ji Yuntang had wiped them all out?
