1745: Chapter 1745: A Fairy Descends to the World?

Some people are ignorant and fearless, pretending to understand what they truly don’t.

Others are cautious and reserved because they know too much.

Shen Yue knew far more than he let on.

When Zhao Fujin took out the Jade Green Bead, he immediately sensed its peculiarity.

It wasn’t a natural luminous pearl—more like a piece of advanced technology cloaked in the guise of worldly familiarity.

The Territory-expanding Axe, the Heavenly-measuring Ruler, the Three Incenses, the zither, the painting, the books, the chess pieces…

All of these things had mundane exteriors but sophisticated technological interiors.

Perhaps the creators of such technology understood that since people at the time couldn’t grasp its mysteries, it was better to let them remain in the dark.

Shen Yue had encountered too much of this kind of technology.

While Zhao Fujin was still explaining the bead’s ability to cure diseases or strengthen the body, he had already pieced many things together.

The bead had been brought by Empress Mingda.

Empress Mingda was likely no longer alive, as Empress Zheng spoke of her with a faint sadness.

The imperial harem might have room for two empresses, but Empress Zheng’s attitude toward Empress Mingda and her tolerance of Zhao Fujin suggested that the two had a good relationship.

Empress Mingda posed no threat to Empress Zheng.

Zhao Fujin didn’t know the bead’s purpose, but Empress Zheng’s words implied that only Empress Mingda knew its secrets.

The reason Zhao Fujin sought out Shen Yue?
