After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 359 - 355 I Had a Dream Last Night2
Shen Yunqing put the shoes he changed out of into the cabinet under the veranda chair. The cleaning staff hired by the garden would collect and wash them later. He then looked down at the embroidered slippers he had personally put on, nodded in satisfaction in his heart, and only then stood up to follow Jiang Lingxi’s gaze and replied, "It’s sumr solstice."
Jiang Lingxi raised her eyebrows, thinking: Truly soone trained by our Pri Minister, knows not to appear when they shouldn’t, very tactful.
Both walked unhurriedly along the sheltered corridor in the direction the sumr solstice had slipped away, enjoying a mont of serene companionship listening to the wind and rain. After turning a corner, Jiang Lingxi suddenly said, "I had a dream last night."
Shen Yunqing instinctively asked, "What kind of dream?"
Jiang Lingxi glanced around, and there should just be her and Shen Yunqing within a hundred ters at this mont.
"I dreamt about sothing that happened in my past life."
Shen Yunqing’s footsteps suddenly halted.
He had been in this world a millennium later for several years, but his past life, especially in those years following the demise of Emperor Yuan Zhao, was sothing he dared not and was unwilling to recall even now.
A scholar dies for soone who understands him, but in his heart, perhaps only he knows that His Majesty was not just his confidant!
Those years he managed to hang on only because he continued to protect the world she had poured countless efforts into.
When he spoke again, his voice was sowhat hoarse, "What was it about?"
Jiang Lingxi also stopped, turned to face him directly, her gaze burning into Shen Yunqing’s eyes as her voice suppressed rising emotions, "Yesterday evening when you carried across the road, I felt a familiar sense. Until last night, that dream made recall sothing I thought I had forgotten."
Shen Yunqing sharply raised his eyes, about to say sothing, but lost his voice under that familiar gaze.
"Let ask you again," Jiang Lingxi raised her hand to point at the spot where she was once shot by an arrow, "That night when it rained and I was shot, was it really the doctor who treated my wound here after arriving?"
"Your Majesty..." Shen Yunqing’s fingers involuntarily trembled, barely regaining composure as he spoke lowly and slowly, "It was wrong of to deceive you back then. At that ti, I acted impulsively towards Your Majesty."
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
"I am, but I’m more afraid of you leaving in front of ."
Jiang Lingxi’s heart clenched hard.
Having the chance to live again, she vaguely perceived Shen Yunqing’s quietly hidden feelings for her, but she never wanted to think back on it.
In her past life, after she left, what state would he be in when he completed the missions she assigned only to return to the court and learn of her demise?
Even when she read in history books about ’Pri Minister Shen leaving the court and disappearing a few years after Emperor Yuan Zhao’s demise, suspected of dying from illness,’ she dared not think about how he actually died.
Even now that she had t her Pri Minister again, standing alive in front of her, she still lacked the courage to ask him this question face to face.
Thoughts ran through her mind like a revolving lantern and finally settled into acceptance.
Even if she got to the bottom of it now, it would only add more regrets and sadness. After all, the person was standing fine before her.
In both her past and present lives, she had always been a practical person. From now on, no matter what she does, she should not let herself regret it.
"It’s okay now, let’s go!"
Shen Yunqing, who was waiting to be further questioned, imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
To this day, so questions can be answered honestly, but there are others even he does not know how to answer.
Jiang Lingxi pretended not to see his sigh of relief, raised her foot to continue walking forward, naturally changing the topic, "Tell what you did after knowing about that trending topic."
Shen Yunqing straightened his expression, "Over ninety percent of those seemingly ambiguous photos going around online were synthesized and altered with AI face-swapping. I have already asked He Zhi to find professionals to restore them. Initial findings confirm it’s Xu Qingi’s handiwork."
Jiang Lingxi nodded, "Sister Tong and I guessed the sa. Relying on soone like Jing Huai, he wouldn’t manage such a big move in just one night..." As she spoke, her phone vibrated again in her pocket.
Taking out the phone, she opened the ssage just sent by Lu Zhengzheng, which began with an apologetic emoji, "Sister Xixi, I swear I absolutely didn’t an to disturb your date with Mr. Shen, but now many of Jing Huai’s brainless fans are crashing your page. If there are any private ssages, ignore them all." She attached a screenshot.
Jiang Lingxi opened the picture and looked at a few lines, unable to restrain a snicker.
"Is it a ssage from Zhengzheng?"
"Yeah," Jiang Lingxi handed over the phone, "Looks like soone doesn’t know when to quit; he’s in the hospital and still causing trouble."
[Your brother is hospitalized, why hasn’t Jiang Lingxi visited him yet? What a careless girlfriend!]
[Being busy with work is no excuse; aren’t they both recording a show together according to the rumors?]
[Jiang Lingxi, you are heartless!]
...
Shen Yunqing’s face also darkened.
He knew that such people who only dared to express opinions online and wouldn’t dare say anything in real life were not worth reacting to, but reading these comnts was still unsettling.
"He Zhi should be almost ready over there; I’ll have him get a couple of major accounts to clarify right away."
"No need, have them edit it well, I’ll handle it myself."
Even if they found a few accounts with a large number of followers, Jiang Lingxi knew that their combined influence could not match her current montum and impact.
Shen Yunqing did not want this distasteful matter to trouble Jiang Lingxi, but seeing her determined look, he could only nod, "Okay, I’ll have He Zhi send it over as soon as possible."
After retrieving her phone, Jiang Lingxi opened her page, quickly scanning and replying to a few of the top comnts.
[If you can’t understand human language, go and look at the announcent I’ve pinned since morning! If you still don’t get it, ask an elder at ho to help translate it for you. Don’t reveal your intelligence here!]
[You know if I have a heart or not, but do you know you don’t have any brains?]
...
On the other side, in the car, with one tablet and one phone in hand managing comnts, Lu Zhengzheng suddenly saw Sister Xixi personally stepping in to counter the attacks, and couldn’t help but gape.
She had rely intended to remind them not to care about the private ssages piling up under their account, never intending for the attacked party to personally strike back!
Moreover, the replies were much bolder than hers and Sister Tong’s.
No, no, she must learn from Sister Xixi!
Lu Zhengzheng also needed to unleash her prowess and strike back fiercely!
After venting on a few ssages, slightly alleviating her anger, Jiang Lingxi casually opened Jing Huai’s hopage.
This guy was surprisingly quick to react; after being exposed for hospitalization, he resolutely posted a status update on his page along with a picture of himself lying on a hospital bed, looking pale, and added the caption: "It’s just a minor injury. Thank you everyone for your concern, but please do not occupy public resources for ."
In response to comnts below questioning why his girlfriend hasn’t visited despite him being hospitalized, he replied in a tolerant tone, "As fellow celebrities, she’s busy with work, which I understand. Please do not disturb her!"
Jiang Lingxi: Even from such a distance, he successfully disgusted her!
