A vicious concubine dressed as a villain

Chapter 157 Birthstone

There was vicissitudes in the mysterious woman's tone, maybe she blamed herself or regretted it, she was a little choked up as she spoke:
"Misfortunes never come singly. My child died of smallpox. The last monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty passed away. Since then, the world has finally been in chaos. The Great Zhou Dynasty, which has gone through 500 years, has fallen."

Having said that, she stopped, and tears kept rolling in her eyes. Even after 300 years, she still couldn't forget the hell on earth, the people were displaced and their corpses were scattered everywhere.

She was regarded as a witch, and the common people felt that she had drained the energy of the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which caused them to die young, and everyone hated her.

On the day when the rebel army broke through the city, she put on the imperial attire as the empress dowager, and put on the most exquisite makeup. She knew that her ending would be resolved only by death, so she had no regrets and gladly went to die.

The moment she was put on the shelf, she suddenly felt relieved. The people surrounded her and cursed her non-stop. The fire was finally lit, but she smiled.

At the moment before she died, she thought that her life would pass like this, but the system suddenly appeared, and the system told her that she still had one chance to return to modern times, but she had to wait until the arrival of the second time traveler.

Of course, she can also choose not to go back, but in this case, her soul will always be trapped in the palace, neither reincarnated nor dissipated, until the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty reappears in this world, and the countries are unified again, but this is almost impossible. It is impossible, because the luck of this world has been exhausted.

After her death, the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided up by rebels from all over the country. It took ten years to quell the riots in various places, and finally formed a situation where the four kingdoms were fully engaged.

She knows that she is a sinner, and she is not qualified to ask to go back, but there is still someone she wants to see, she wants to go back, she can't be trapped here forever, just wait and wait, 300 years have passed, her second time travel The latter will not appear again, and she had planned to be trapped here forever, until the appearance of Zhao Qingluo finally gave her a glimmer of hope.

After listening for a long time, Zhao Qingluo felt a little sympathy for her. This is probably the worst time traveler in history, she couldn't help sighing.

So is my time travel inevitable?

Did the so-called system deceive her? Was her time travel just to allow this mysterious woman to time travel back, so she is a tool person?

After hearing the woman's words, she had to have various doubts, and began to doubt the purpose of the system.

But since he promised the mysterious woman to help her, Zhao Qingluo would not go back on his word, and asked with some doubts: "Then how can I help you?"

The mysterious woman explained: "Find the treasure of the town left by the Great Zhou Dynasty—the birthstone. It is said that it can travel through ancient and modern times."

No one knows its origin, not even the mysterious woman. It is said that when the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born, the sky shone with colorful light, and a crane came stepping on the light, holding a piece of jade in its mouth, and carved on it. The twelve zodiac signs are named after their birthdays.

That crane seemed to be quite human, actually hung the jade pendant around the ancestor's neck, and called a few times nervously towards the ancestor before reluctantly leaving.

The birthstone protected the ancestors from several disasters until the ancestors established the Great Zhou Dynasty and regarded the birthstone as the treasure of the town.

Of course, all of these are just rumors and nothing serious.

This birthstone has been passed down to the hands of the last monarch, but unfortunately, the world was in chaos and the birthstone was unfortunately lost.

"Then why do you say that only I can help you? Isn't everyone looking for things for you?" Zhao Qingluo expressed some doubts.

The mysterious woman smiled sadly, and said in a heavy tone, "Because only you can see me, and the most important point is that the birthstone needs the blood of someone from another world to open it."

After hearing the explanation, Zhao Qingluo still didn't understand. She just traveled through the soul, and she didn't wear it. Is there anything special about this blood?
The mysterious woman seemed to have mind reading skills, as if she could guess what she was thinking, and said to her seriously: "Your soul is special. After you fuse with this body, a special substance will be produced in your blood. And the key to unlocking the birthstone is it."

Hearing this, Zhao Qingluo nodded half understanding.

If this is the case, does it mean that she can go back after finding the birthstone?

But this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. It has been more than 300 years. Where can she find it? This is obviously a difficult problem. Zhao Qingluo feels discouraged for a moment.

After talking for a long time, Zhao Qingluo remembered that she didn't know the name of the other party, and she asked, "By the way, what's your name?"

Lin Tinglan said gently: "Tinglan, Lin Tinglan."

After hearing this name, Zhao Qingluo seemed a little surprised, his pupils dilated instantly, and asked incredulously, "Your name is Lin Tinglan?"

Is this a coincidence, or is it what she thinks.

At the beginning, she felt that the woman's story was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she didn't think much about it, but after hearing her name, she finally remembered where she had seen this story.

Lin Tinglan didn't quite understand why her reaction was so strong, and she seemed to know the name: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with my name?"

Zhao Qingluo is still not sure. After all, the same name may be a coincidence. She asked a little seriously: "May I ask, what is your husband's name?"

Now Lin Tinglan couldn't figure it out even more, but she still told her the name.

Speaking of which, she almost forgot that person's name, Gu, what is Gu, yes, Gu Jingshu.

Lin Tinglan's mouth showed a wry smile, thinking of him, there would always be a trace of guilt in his heart.

She choked up and said, "His name is Gu Jingshu."

"Gu Jingshu, it's really called that name." Zhao Qingluo murmured, seemingly a little surprised.

That's right, she was finally sure that it wasn't a coincidence.

As for why she knew, it was because their previous story was also a novel, and it was a super sad novel.

The title of the novel is "The Great Zhou Dynasty". It tells the story of a dynasty from prosperity to gradual decline, and finally to the country's subjugation.

The whole story is tragic, and the people in it end badly, especially the heroine.

As a heroine, Lin Tinglan doesn't have the aura of a heroine. Her tragedies all began after the death of her emperor husband. Anyway, it was so tragic that her husband and children died, and she ended up dead without a whole body.

The content of the novel is not much different from what Lin Tinglan said, except that the heroine in the novel is not a time-traveling woman, but a native ancient woman.

Looking at the woman in front of him, a trace of sadness flashed in Zhao Qingluo's eyes. Was the Great Zhou Dynasty's demise really because of her stay?
How it died was not written in the novel, maybe it was written, but she didn't read it carefully.
