Chapter 127: All About Xia-Zhou Dynasty (4)

Ye Sui found a piece of information, which was also the only trace left by the sword in unofficial history.

The time period of this sword was just after the birth of the crown prince, who had died young. The record was very brief and not detailed. This was originally the prince’s sword. The general had served the prince and saved him with his life. Hence, the prince gave him the sword as a reward.

General sword, hence the name.

It had been mentioned in the notes of later generations that some people had seen the soul of the general. The sword might have survived for a hundred years because of the general’s soul. Later, it was written that the rumor was not credible.

Ye Sui felt more flustered as she saw it. Only she knew that it was not a rumor. The general’s soul was still around the sword, but he was reluctant to leave. What was he waiting for?

Ye Sui wanted to go to the exhibition again to take a look at the general sword. She would ask General Gu if he had a wish that hadn’t been fulfilled and why he still stayed in the human world.

At that time, a piece of news popped up on the Internet, reminding Ye Sui of one thing. The exhibition of cultural relics of the Xia Zhou dynasty had ended today, and there would be no exhibition for the time being.

The general sword and other cultural relics were taken away together.

The clue was broken again.

It was unknown if it was because of too much thinking earlier, but Ye Sui dreamed again that night.

In her dream, she came to the front hall of the old East Palace in the Xia Zhou palace from the perspective of a bystander. It was spring, the window of the East Palace was half-open, and the sun was shining inside.

Although there was a layer of sunlight in the hall, it was cold, as if the light had become dim because of the heavy atmosphere.

The prince was dressed in a royal suite, his back facing Ye Sui. He did not speak, nor could she see his facial features clearly. She could only feel the majestic aura around him, but strangely, she did not have a trace of fear.

General Gu’s expression was solemn. “Crown Prince.”

Ye Sui was stunned. General Gu could speak? Then the scar she saw on his neck in the museum, was it because he later injured his vocal cords?

“The war on the front line is critical. Your Highness will be in danger all the way.” General Gu’s deep voice fell, as if he had made an oath that could not be violated, “I will protect Your Highness with my life.”

The sword hanging around General Gu’s waist was the same as the general sword Ye Sui saw in the museum.

It was extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud.

Just like his loyalty, with the determination that could leap over time and years.

The sky was bright and misty. The air was filled with the cold feeling peculiar to the morning and irritated the nose. Ye Sui suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

She felt cold all over her body. All the things in her dream seemed to affect her.

Why was she afraid? Was the war, in General Gu’s words, the one recorded in history that killed the crown prince and destroyed the old East Palace by fire?

Someone on her side got up, and then Chen Shu’s voice rang out, “What’s the matter?”

Chen Shu lowered his voice, and his gentle tone pulled her back to reality. Ye Sui realized that the decoration in front of her was of their new home.

Ye Sui woke up again after a dream. The difference from the last time was that now, Chen Shu was by her side.

She slowed down and told Chen Shu the whole thing. “Chen Shu, I had a dream again.”

Chen Shu was keenly aware that Ye Sui had used the word “again.” He still remembered Ye Sui’s mood was not right a few days ago.

Later, because the media exposed their affairs, the matter was pushed back in their minds. Ye Sui didn’t say anything, and Chen Shu didn’t ask either.

Why did Ye Sui wake up from her dreams repeatedly?

Chen Shu: “Did something happen?”

Ye Sui sighed. “Chen Shu, I have something to tell you.”

“A few days ago, you came to the museum to pick me up.” Ye Sui said, “I was watching an exhibition of Xia Zhou Dynasty cultural relics.

“I’ve seen Xia Zhou dynasty’s things several times now, and I feel familiar every time. So during this whole time, I have been thinking about the connection.”

Ye Sui put the information she had found before in front of Chen Shu.

From the life story of the crown prince in the old East Palace, to the fire that burned everything, to the immortal general sword.

Looking at it, Chen Shu suddenly frowned. Ye Sui felt strange. “What’s the matter?”

Chen Shu: “Do you know, our antique vase is also from the Xia Zhou Dynasty.”

Ye Sui’s dream was only the tip of the iceberg. Although it touched the truth, it was like seeing flowers in the fog. Nothing could be seen clearly.

They knew that if they wanted to solve this mystery, they must go to the Xia Zhou Palace Museum again.

She must find the minister, or General Gu, to know the truth.
