Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1056: With You (201)

"Go ahead, where do you want to go?"

"The old site in City B."

"That used to be the palace where ancient emperors lived. You want to go there?"

"Just to take a look."

...

The helicopter slowly landed on the rooftop of the Long Group hotel, driving from there.

This season, there are very few tourists.

Entering through the vermilion gate, the first sight is the courtyard with corridors, with dried flowers and trees in the yard.

The brick walls are engraved with the marks of time, being here makes the atmosphere feel different.

Walking through the alleys, stopping and taking pictures, chatting and laughing, we quickly forgot all the wedding’s unpleasantness.

There is a large lake with no clear end and a winding corridor. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Walking all the way to a green gate, it was marked with the name: Nolan Courtyard.

The entrance fee is forty yuan per person.

We paid and went in.

The courtyard is large, most prominent is a big well.

The five of us approached and saw a sign on the well, detailing its origin.

The historically famous Axiu Well.

Seeing this name, Gu Lili realized, "I remember my master once told me this story, saying there was a famous palace maid named Ah Xiu. She was sold into the palace, serving Nolan Jingchu since she was thirteen. He was the emperor’s youngest prince, the Sixteenth Prince, and she was his little maid. Later, she won his favor and was promoted to his first concubine. Then the Sixteenth Prince was betrothed to the daughter of a high-ranking court official. At that moment, Ah Xiu became pregnant, and when the official’s daughter found out, she bribed people in the courtyard to seize her by the well and throw her in, resulting in two deaths."

As she spoke, Jun Xiangyi’s eyes turned red, "Aunt, what happened then? Did that prince marry that Miss Guan?"

"No, he became a monk. You don’t stay in the mortal world often, so you don’t know its history. He later became the famous Monk Luchen in history." Gu Lili noticed her unusual state, "Why are you so deeply affected?"

Xu Mohan noticed Jun Xiangyi’s eyes were wet and warm, "Feeling sorry for these star-crossed lovers?"

"Probably, it’s so pitiful."

Leaving Axiu Well, the five of us went inside.

Entering the bedroom suite of Nolan Jingchu, a portrait of him hung in the main room.

Upon seeing the portrait, Jun Xiangyi walked toward it.

Her eyes were fixed intently on the man in the picture.

Even though she had never seen him before, Jun Xiangyi felt an extraordinary familiarity.

So familiar, it was as if she had seen him countless times before. This was the first time a picture gave her such a feeling.

Xu Mohan softly inquired, "What’s wrong?"

"I feel like I know him very well."

"You know him?" Xu Mohan asked, "Did you meet him some years ago?"

"I’m sure we haven’t met."

"Then why do you feel this way?"

Jun Xiangyi shook her head, "I don’t know either."

Her gaze turned towards the bed, a particularly unique ancient bed. Due to its age, touching the wood was not allowed, and a prohibition sign stood nearby.

Xu Mohan continuously observed her, gradually realizing that Jun Xiangyi seemed energetically out of sync with this place.

So he suggested, "Shall we look around somewhere else?"

Gu Lili agreed, "Sure, let’s go out."

But Jun Xiangyi remained still.

"Xiangyi?"

Jun Xiangyi turned to Xu Mohan, "Mohan, I want to visit the Netherworld."

"For what?"
