Chapter 128 Zi An Transmigrates as a Child Slave
Xiao Si expressed her gratitude to Zi An, saying:
"You've been so generous to me. If you hadn't risked your life to save me last time, I might not have been able to transform into a young girl again. Now, who have we become?"
Zi An smiled and replied, "Silly girl, Zi An did not perish, but only depleted some of my spiritual power. I am your Zhi Nu brother. In order to protect you, I collected all the poems in the world as offerings, and with the help of the power of wild ginseng, you were able to prolong your life."
Xiao Si could hardly believe that the person standing in front of her was actually her brother Zhi Nu!
That familiar yet unfamiliar face was exactly the same as Brother Zi'an's, leaving her speechless and dumbfounded:
"Then how come you have Brother Zi'an's appearance?"
Brother Zhinu smiled, a hint of lighthearted jest in his eyes: "Silly girl, this is a parallel universe, we've already been reborn."
Xiao Si's eyes lit up, as if she understood something, but with a hint of doubt:
"What about me? Am I also playing the role of Wu Zetian? Why don't I have hair? Do I also appear with her appearance?"
She touched her face unconsciously, feeling uneasy, afraid that it really was that kind of situation.
A hint of tenderness flashed in Zhinu's eyes as he chuckled softly:
“You are much more beautiful than Meiniang.” He looked Xiao Si up and down for a while, his face full of admiration, his tone tinged with a hint of doting. “You also have a doll-like pure beauty, that freshness and innocence is simply intoxicating.”
His voice softened his breathing, and even the candlelight around him seemed to soften.
Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, and her expression instantly turned shy.
She instinctively lowered her head, a shy smile playing on her lips, her heart racing uncontrollably.
She was secretly relieved that her reborn face was passable, but at the same time, she felt somewhat at a loss:
"Then...then shouldn't I...do something to deserve such high praise?"
Looking into Xiao Si's bright, sparkling eyes, Zi An's gaze suddenly brightened.
He leaned slightly forward, silently observing every little detail of the reborn little rhinoceros, and said softly:
"Mei Xiaosi, do you know? You're not just my sister, you're also the person I want to protect the most."
His words carried a warmth, even a touch of indulgence: "You are smarter and more resourceful than anyone else, and you have a heart that is not easily defeated. Every time I see you smile, I feel that the world suddenly becomes warmer. You are the ultimate pursuit of my imperial dream."
Xiao Si was taken aback, her heart involuntarily racing. A shy smile appeared on her face, and she blinked:
"Brother Zi'an, you...you can't just say things like that."
Although her tone was somewhat shy, her eyes sparkled with a certain light, inexplicably touched by this gentle attention.
Zi'an's smile deepened, his eyes filled with affection for her: "No, I never talk nonsense. You are the person I value most, and no matter what, I hope you can be happy."
He reached out and gently touched her head, his tone even more tender, "Without you, my world would have been much less colorful in this turbulent history."
He paused, his eyes becoming deep, "You are the brightest light in my life. Even if the whole world treats you badly, I am willing to shield you from everything."
Xiao Si was stunned, a warm feeling instantly welling up inside her, her face burning red. She whispered, "Brother Zi'an, you're such a good person, you're practically...the perfect brother!"
A hint of tenderness flashed in Zi An's eyes. He chuckled softly, his eyes full of doting affection: "My little Si will always be the most special. Just remember, I'll always be by your side."
Xiao Si was still a little confused when she got back: "Brother Zi An, when did you transmigrate into Brother Zhi Nu?"
Zi'an looked thoughtful, then leisurely looked up at the sky:
“I’ve only been back for a short time, but it’s amazing that a character like Empress Wang is still alive and kicking.”
He swirled the teacup in his hand, as if this history itself were a cup of bitter tea that was difficult to taste.
"Wu Zetian's entry into the palace was actually a foolish move by Empress Wang, which brought about her own downfall. Just yesterday, she mentioned to me that she wanted to bring Mei Xiaosi into the palace. I knew then that history was repeating itself. Oh my, the look in her eyes was practically a death sentence."
Xiao Si raised her eyebrows instantly and asked playfully:
"Mei Xiaosi?? Shouldn't I be called Wu Zetian? Anyway, she was a great figure who changed dynasties, so I think it's quite appropriate to give myself the title of 'Wu Zetian'."
Zi'an smiled slightly upon hearing this: "No, it's just that you and I are different."
He slowed his tone, as if weighing the weight of each word, "Although the surrounding people and time are roughly the same, Mei Xiaosi and Zi An... have become the protagonists of this rebirth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to become heavier, setting a tone for this historical shift.
Xiao Si pouted, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied: "So this time it was Empress Wang who sent Mei Xiao Si into the palace again, trying to challenge Consort Xiao's power? She probably didn't expect that in the end both she and Consort Xiao would fall out of favor. Alas, she let a wolf into the house, oh, she let a 'rhinoceros' into the house. But me? I'm not Wu Zetian, I might not be able to defeat her..."
Zi'an's eyes and brows did indeed convey a hint of a reminder:
"That's right, Little Si, you must tread carefully and be sure to do things right!! You can't act rashly."
His gaze, filled with tenderness, scrutinized her every emotion.
"You have to give it your all, understand? Otherwise, Mei Xiaosi won't become empress, Empress Wang and Consort Xiao won't be demoted to commoners, and their families won't suffer the fate of being exiled to Lingnan... Then the butterfly effect will be completely reversed... In the end, it won't be Li Zhong who dies of frustration, but us two poor souls."
The little ox was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed:
"Oh my, Brother Zian, what you're saying makes me both nervous and excited! Does it mean I have to throw myself wholeheartedly into this game of power? It sounds kind of fun, like I've suddenly become the protagonist of history, and the pressure is immense!"
Looking at Xiao Si's nonchalant expression, Zi An couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"You're quite good at setting the mood. But this is no child's play. If we want to survive, we have to follow the course of history. Otherwise, we'll really be 'newborns' who know nothing and can only stare blankly and mess around."
Xiao Si shook her head, her tone half-joking and half-serious, "Don't worry, I'm good at history, I'll control the situation. I won't be like those guys who are experiencing life for the first time, who don't know anything and start messing around as soon as they're reborn."
Little Si solemnly assured him:
"Don't worry, Brother Zi'an, just you wait!"
She exclaimed excitedly, "I'm well-versed in the secrets of history! There's no need to turn the tables; as long as we follow the original path, we can survive perfectly. We absolutely won't give anyone a chance to take advantage!"
Zi'an's tone instantly turned serious. He widened his eyes and reminded Xiao Si:
"Don't think that just being a 'beautiful woman' is enough! Even if you follow the old path of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, many historical dilemmas will not be easily resolved!"
He waved his hand, making a helpless expression, "To break out of this predicament, we both need to use our wisdom and determination, you know?"
Little Si blinked, then suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, a glint of excitement flashing in its eyes. It grinned and shook its hand:
"Oh dear, enough talk, let's go!! Hurry back and urge Empress Wang to come and fetch me to the palace! We can't wait any longer, I don't want to miss such a great opportunity!"
As she spoke, she jumped over like a little rocket and gave Li Zhi a bear hug as a farewell.
This caught Zi'an off guard.
Looking at her expression, Zi'an couldn't help but laugh:
"You're in such a hurry? Your energy is really something... even Wu Zetian would have to make way for you."
He sighed, seemingly anticipating the "comedic plot" of Xiao Si barging into the palace, but he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
