A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1570 - 1568: Past and Present Lives 6

Chapter 1568

The people here... seem to have no sense of hierarchy.

They don’t even bow when they see someone, and it’s hard to tell their status, and they dress...

But fortunately, I’m not dead yet.

As long as I’m alive, there’s always hope, and there will be a day when the truth is revealed. I can eventually leave here and return to the Great Chu Dynasty. I can wait.

I just hope that by that day, the woman in front of me won’t regret it.

Xia Ruqing was quite irritated by him and decided to ignore him.

...

As night fell, there was no time to make a separate room today.

She decided to let Zhao Junyao stay here and she would squeeze in with her friend downstairs.

After a simple dinner, she gathered her washing supplies and the clothes she planned to wear the next day.

She carried her things out the door, and before leaving, she sternly reminded him.

"Don’t touch my things, don’t touch the wires on the wall, and don’t touch the induction cooker in the kitchen!"

If this lunatic recklessly touches something that starts a fire and burns down the house, she’d likely be in debt for life.

Zhao Junyao: "Alright!"

"I know!" His attitude remained arrogant.

Xia Ruqing was used to it, she rolled her eyes at him and slammed the door shut with a ’bang,’ then clattered down the stairs.

...

Downstairs, in an even smaller room, three young women crowded together.

Wenwen couldn’t help but speak up first.

"Xiao Qingqing, you’re really something. If it were me, I’d be scared silly long ago!"

Xia Ruqing gave a bitter smile.

"I’m scared too!"

"I didn’t want to manage at first, but then I thought, after all, it’s a human life. He was still breathing, and I couldn’t bear to just leave him!"

Xiaoxiao was more rational and asked with concern.

"So what happens now? What’s his situation?"

Xia Ruqing thought for a moment and replied.

"The police station still has no news. They say they haven’t found the car involved, and there’s no news from his family either!"

After saying this, she added.

"Actually, his clothes don’t seem cheap, and it looks like branded clothing. He doesn’t look like a country person at all, so why was he on a rural road?"

"How did he end up there?"

When he was found, there wasn’t even a bicycle near him. He surely couldn’t have walked over and then got hit by a car.

This whole thing seems so bizarre.

"It’s not something we can guess; we should leave it to the police!"

"But this person is really quite pitiful!" Xiaoxiao said sympathetically.

Wenwen sighed and nodded.

"Indeed pitiful. The last time I visited, I saw him in the ward!"

"His face was so pale, he was emaciated, and still in a coma with a blood bag attached to him. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to go in. You wouldn’t blame me, would you, Xiao Qingqing?"

Xia Ruqing gave a bitter smile.

"Why would I blame you? He’s just a stranger and nothing to do with us!"

"It’s enough that I’m the only one troubled. I can’t drag you into this too!"

She sighed deeply, "I probably owe him something from my past life!"

She had no idea who this person was.

He seemingly dropped from the sky right into her arms, and she couldn’t shake him off.

"The doctor said it was his first time seeing someone survive such a serious car accident!"

"He must have a strong fate!"

Xia Ruqing mused to herself.

Xiaoxiao patted her on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. Once he gets better, maybe he’ll remember who he is?"

"When his family comes to repay you the money, this matter will be over!"

Xia Ruqing thought about it and agreed.

With how advanced technology is now, sooner or later they’ll find his family.

He definitely didn’t just emerge from a crack in a rock!

She felt relieved, pulling her friends into a smile.

"You guys are the best!"

"Alright, alright, enough with the mushy stuff, let’s sleep!" Xiaoxiao laughed.

"I’m leaving now! No need to walk me out!"

She lived next door, so there was no need for a send-off.

"Okay!"

Wenwen yawned.

"Let’s sleep too! I have work tomorrow!"

Xia Ruqing nodded, and the two turned off the lights and went to sleep.

...

Upstairs.

After carefully observing the strange and unfamiliar furnishings in the room, Zhao Junyao felt a little lost.

He was almost 100% certain this was nowhere close to the Great Chu Dynasty, and it was far removed in time.

After walking around the room three full circles, he finally found a book.

This was probably the only thing he was familiar with.

But even the book looked completely different from the Great Chu Dynasty.

The cover was smooth, the pages were white, and the font was tiny, yet neatly arranged and impeccably written.

With just one glance, he was astonished: Who could write such tiny words?

He had always taken pride in his calligraphy, but compared with the writing on the paper, it was negligible.

The writing on the book was extremely neat, writing such small characters on tiny sheets of paper, showing that the person had deep penmanship skills and extraordinary ability.

It was only at this moment that he fully realized.

This place was much more advanced compared to the Great Chu Dynasty.

This unfamiliar woman appeared quite poor, yet she could afford such genius-level calligraphic works.

This indicated that such works were widespread.

Perhaps, in this world, geniuses are everywhere?

(Printing Press: I never imagined I would receive such praise one day; it’s a rare honor, indeed it is!)

...

Under the dim light, Zhao Junyao opened the book.

It seemed to be a history book, but the writings on it were strange, with some round and twisty symbols he had never seen before (they were pinyin and Arabic numerals).

However, he did recognize some characters, so he flipped through the book half-heartedly.

Being quite bored, he quickly finished the book, barely understanding most of it.

As he was about to close the book to sleep.

He unintentionally glanced at something, and his eyes were instantly drawn to the page, then... astonishment, shock, a racing heart, indescribable feelings.

On one page, there appeared an imperial edict, with the handwriting exactly like that in the Great Chu Dynasty.

He quickly brought that page under the light for a closer look.

After a long examination, he found that the imperial edict came from some place in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He had never heard of this dynasty.

Zhao Junyao felt a bit bewildered.

"What kind of place is this? How could there be a Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Flipping further, there were some illustrated pages, but no other imperial edict appeared.

Flipping back and forth, he discovered that the illustrations at the front of the book largely consisted of stones and farming tools like plows.

The further he went, the more complex the illustrations became, showing clothes, hairpins, books, and more.

After flipping through it twice.

Zhao Junyao suddenly understood; these seemed to be historical events in chronological order.

A sweat broke out layer by layer on his back.

He originally thought he was taken out of the Great Chu Dynasty to an unknown foreign land.

Unexpectedly, he had actually... come hundreds of years into the future.

Although he did not find the Great Chu Dynasty in this book.

But with the presence of Great Zhou Dynasty that was very similar to the Great Chu Dynasty for comparison, it was easy to guess that this era was indeed several hundred years later than the Great Chu Dynasty.
