Chu Xiang lived a relaxed life for several decades. When she changed to another world, she was still in a very happy mood. This kind of relaxed life was too good. She wanted to wear it ten thousand more times!
This time the Heaven and Earth Mirror was randomly selected. She came to an ancient world and chose the identity of the imperial concubine. The emperor was attacked by an assassin and was stabbed several times. At the time, the person beside the emperor was the previous host. The previous host blocked the most fatal attack for the emperor and allowed the emperor to wait for reinforcements, saving his life.
However, the previous host was weak and was seriously injured after being stabbed. When Chu Xiang merged with the body, she took a cold breath from the pain. She took advantage of the time when no one was looking to give herself a strong pain reliever to resist the pain.
When the previous host left, she didn't have any regrets. She only hoped that Chu Xiang would be careful and not implicate her family. Chu Xiang saw that she had saved the emperor, so she agreed and smoothly took over the previous host's identity.
When the Imperial Physician saw that Chu Xiang had been saved, he quietly let out a sigh of relief. He hurriedly sent someone to report to the Emperor. Then, he deliberated over the prescription and instructed Chu Xiang's palace maid to boil the medicine.
Chu Xiang laid on the bed and closed her eyes to feel the spiritual energy of this world. There was spiritual energy, but it was thinner than the previous world. Even if she worked hard to cultivate, she would only be able to reach the first level of Qi Condensation and control a bit of spiritual energy.
But it was better than nothing. Especially when it came to healing, spiritual energy was more effective than any pill. She used the bed curtain as a cover and began to cultivate under the eyes of everyone in the room.
After half an hour, she successfully guided spiritual energy into her body. She gathered all the spiritual energy she absorbed into the wound and tried her best to heal the wound.
The imperial physician had ordered for the decoction to be brewed. The head palace maid Qing Zhu, who was by the original owner's side, came over with a bowl of medicine. The two palace maids lifted the bed curtain. Qing Zhu softly called, "Niangniang, it's time to drink the medicine."
Chu Xiang weakly opened her eyes and nodded, allowing the two maids to help her up. But when Qing Zhu wanted to feed her medicine, she picked up the bowl and drank it all. Taking advantage of this action, she poured all the medicine into her space. She only touched her lips to indicate that she had drunk it.
Qing Zhu asked worriedly, "Niang niang, you've been unconscious for an hour. Are you feeling better now? Do you want this servant to invite the imperial physician over to take a look? "
Chu Xiang shook her head. "There's no need. This consort is much better now. I'll just recuperate according to the imperial physician's instructions."
She imitated the tone of the previous owner and swept her eyes over the palace servants in the room. Her temperament was too different from the original host. The other concubines, including the Emperor, did not understand the original host, but the people who served the original host these days understood her very well. She would have to change them if she wanted to live comfortably in the future.
Servants who betrayed their masters were easy to deal with, but servants who were loyal to the original owner like Qing Zhu had to be settled properly. She needed to think carefully.
Moreover, now that she was in the palace, there were endless ways to fight in the palace. In a situation where there was no one to use, it was more reassuring to use the subordinates of the original owner.
Just as she was thinking, the Heaven and Earth Mirror suddenly sent a message that the Emperor had arrived.
Sure enough, not long after, the Emperor in a dragon robe walked in with people. He did not let anyone report, probably because he was afraid of disturbing her.
Chu Xiang looked up at the Emperor. The Emperor was called Xiao Yuan Zhao. He was twenty years old. His appearance was extraordinarily handsome. Although he was young, he had the noble aura of the King of Scales. At this time, Xiao Yuan Zhao's brows were slightly furrowed. His thin lips were tightly pursed. He was imposing without being angry. The palace servants in the room kept quiet out of fear. Even their breathing became heavy.
Chu Xiang understood Xiao Yuan Zhao's displeasure. Xiao Yuan Zhao had ascended the throne for less than a year. It was the previous Emperor's younger brother, Xiao Li, who helped him to the throne. Xiao Li called himself the Regent. He was in charge of the imperial harem and did not let Xiao Yuan Zhao truly take power.
This time, Xiao Yuan Zhao came out to hunt to relax. He did not expect to be assassinated and almost lose his life. His mood was naturally very bad. According to what she knew, the assassins were all death soldiers. When the assassination failed, they took poison and committed suicide. Xiao Yuan Zhao had not found out who was behind the scenes. Xiao Yuan Zhao was in such a bad mood, but he still came to see her. He obviously cared about this merit of saving the Emperor.
Chu Xiang did not look much. She quickly lowered her eyes and acted like she was going to get off the bed to bow. She imitated the original owner and said weakly: "Chenqie did not know the Emperor was coming. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you … …"
"Imperial gui fei, do not move. You are seriously injured. Lie down." Xiao Yuan Zhao quickly walked to the bed and pressed Chu Xiang back down.
After Xiao Yuan Zhao had Chu Xiang lie down, he did not let go of Chu Xiang's hand. Instead, he sat down on the bed. He looked at her and asked with concern: "Imperial gui fei, how do you feel? Does your wound hurt badly? "
Chu Xiang was slightly surprised. Although Xiao Yuan Zhao had the imperial gui fei and four concubines, because they were all chosen by the Regent, he was very cold to them. He kept finding excuses to not pamper them, not to mention holding hands so intimately.
Was he moved because of saving the Emperor? It can't be, right?
Chu Xiang thought so in her heart. She shook her head slightly, "Chenqie is much better. It doesn't hurt as much after drinking the medicine. Emperor, you are also injured. Why did you come to see chenqie? How is your injury? What happened to the imperial physician? "
Xiao Yuan Zhao looked at her expression and said slowly: "Zhen is fine. It's just a flesh wound. But the imperial gui fei suffered for zhen. If zhen had known, zhen would not have brought you to hunt. "
Chu Xiang had acted in many palace dramas. She could say nice words easily, "Chenqie does not feel bitter. As long as the Emperor is fine, chenqie is satisfied."
Xiao Yuan Zhao showed a faint smile when he heard this and said: "Imperial gui fei saved zhen. You have the merit of saving the Emperor. When we return to the palace, I will reward you. Imperial gui fei can think about it. What reward do you want? "
Chu Xiang was speechless. Who would really want a reward when asked this kind of question? She could only say: "Chenqie should have saved the Emperor. I don't ask for any reward. I only ask for the Emperor to be healthy."
What she wanted the most right now was for Xiao Yuan Zhao to leave quickly. Her injury was faintly hurting again. With him here, how could she rest?
Xiao Yuan Zhao lowered his eyes to hide the surprise in his eyes. She disliked him for being long-winded and disturbing her rest? This imperial gui fei was so gentle and weak. Every word she said seemed to take him to heart, but she was thinking about the opposite. She even disliked him for being annoying.
Xiao Yuan Zhao did not change his expression. He held Chu Xiang's hand and said seriously: "Beloved concubine's intentions, zhen will remember them. Beloved concubine, don't worry. Zhen will definitely find the person behind this. Zhen will not let you take this stab for nothing. "
Chu Xiang gently nodded and gave her thanks. She thought, of course she had to investigate the Emperor's assassination. What did it have to do with her? However, this thief caused her so much pain. After she found out, she would definitely not forgive him!
Xiao Yuan Zhao looked at the gentle and weak expression on Chu Xiang's face and heard the vicious voice in her heart. He was quite surprised. This imperial gui fei was completely different from what he thought. It was very interesting. He just didn't know if the imperial gui fei's disguise was instructed by the Regent.
However, he had more important things to do at this time. After confirming that the assassination was not a trick directed and acted by the imperial gui fei, he did not plan to stay any longer. He ordered the palace servants to take care of Chu Xiang and was about to leave.
The moment he got up and let go of Chu Xiang's hand, he heard Chu Xiang's heart: [Finally gone]. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. The women in the harem were eager to keep him, but this woman was eager for him to leave.
The new discovery of the imperial gui fei made him relax a lot. He did not make things difficult for Chu Xiang and simply left with her.
After leaving Chu Xiang's residence, his face regained its cold expression. Today, he fainted after the assassination. After he woke up, he inexplicably had the ability to hear the thoughts of others. As long as he touched any part of the body of others, he could know what they were thinking.
He was shocked at first, and then realized that this was a good opportunity to find out who was behind the scenes. He immediately tested the palace servants, imperial physicians, and guards around him without leaving a trace. He found out two of the Regent's informants, but they had nothing to do with the assassination.
Just then, the palace servants reported that Chu Xiang had woken up. He came to test whether Chu Xiang knew about it or whether she deliberately used the deed of saving the Emperor to gain favor. After all, with her status, it was very likely that she would be promoted to the Empress with the deed of saving the Emperor. If the Regent instructed her to do so, he might be able to find out some information.
When he came, he was in a complicated mood with a bit of irritation. Anyone who had experienced a life and death crisis and inexplicably got a strange ability that did not conform to common sense couldn't calm down. But after he tested Chu Xiang, his mood strangely relaxed.
Chu Xiang's thoughts were really out of his expectations. She did not think about fighting for favor at all. She even complained that he was there to disturb her rest. It was completely different from what she looked like on the surface.
A weak woman could be so calm when she almost lost her life, how could he, the Emperor, be so impatient? After seeing Chu Xiang, his mood relaxed and calmed down a lot. He began to methodically give orders to investigate this matter.
After Xiao Yuanzhao left, Chu Xiang dismissed everyone and focused on cultivating. If she didn't recover, she couldn't do anything. The person behind the scenes failed the first time, so there might be a second time. It was good for her to have more ability to protect herself.
Then again, the previous owner had saved Xiao Yuanzhao. Although she had saved the Emperor, she had also offended the person behind the scenes. If the other side was angry with her and sent someone to kill her, with her current heavy injuries, it wouldn't be easy to deal with.
It was more important to recover first. If she didn't recover, she wouldn't even be in the mood to appreciate handsome men.
Seven days later, Chu Xiang's injuries were better. She could take the carriage and return to the palace. Xiao Yuanzhao had returned to the palace early. He was the Emperor and had encountered an assassin. Naturally, he could not stay outside.
Chu Xiang changed into the imperial gui fei's carriage at the palace gate and smoothly entered the palace. She lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. She felt a little emotional. It seemed that she had not entered the palace for a long time. She didn't know what life in the palace would be like in the future.
The various powers in the court were fighting openly and secretly. The Regent also intended to suppress the Emperor and not let him marry. So he had not decided on a candidate for the Empress. He only chose a few noble ladies to enter the palace, taking up the position of imperial gui fei and the four concubines. He did not give the Emperor a chance to use the position of concubine to win over the ministers.
The Empress Dowager had died of illness ten years ago, so the "imperial gui fei" was now the woman with the highest position in the palace. The original owner's temperament was gentle, weak, and courageous. Her father was only a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, she would not have been chosen by the Regent to be the imperial gui fei.
Her carriage had just arrived at the gate of her palace when the four concubines came to greet her. They asked about Chu Xiang's injuries with concern and asked what happened at the hunting grounds.
They were paying their respects, but in fact, they were blocking the road with their words. They wanted to disturb Chu Xiang and make it impossible for her to rest.
Originally, Xiao Yuanzhao listened to the Regent and took Chu Xiang to the hunting grounds. They were very jealous. They never thought that Chu Xiang would get the merit of saving the Emperor. Chu Xiang's status was higher than theirs. With the merit of saving the Emperor, wouldn't no one be able to shake her position?
They were all imperial concubines who were not favored. Why did Chu Xiang become the exception?
Jealousy made them come to make trouble for Chu Xiang. They couldn't do it openly, so it was good to delay her and make her feel uncomfortable for a while.
Qing Zhu saw their intentions and bowed to them with an ugly expression, "Imperial gui fei niangniang is tired from the journey and is injured. I'm afraid she can't see you niangniang. Niangniang, please … …"
"What are you? Imperial gui fei niangniang hasn't spoken yet. Do you have the right to speak? "
The one reprimanding Qing Zhu was the shrewish Imperial Concubine Xi. She had never put the original owner in her eyes, so she naturally had no scruples at this time. She clearly didn't want Chu Xiang to return to the palace peacefully. In any case, she came to visit. Even if the Emperor knew, he wouldn't do anything to her.
Chu Xiang ordered people to help her down the carriage. Just like the original owner of the body, she smiled gently, "Younger sisters are very considerate. Since younger sisters are so worried, then go back and fast, take a bath, and copy ten scriptures to pray for this consort and the emperor. Since meimei is so sincere, ben gong and the Emperor's injuries will be healed quickly. "
The four concubines' expressions froze. Praying for the Emperor, did they dare to refuse?
