In her previous life, Song Tangxue, the true daughter of the Right Minister, was swapped at birth. When she was finally found, her entire family despised her.
She finally managed to reclaim h...
Only large families would have a few of these; ordinary people would never have them. She's just a maid; could she be one of Wins's men?
"The...Crown Princess..."
"You want to use the Aphrodisiac on the Crown Prince?" There are very few people in Yongfeng Kingdom who know about the Aphrodisiac, so Pei Xi also looked Song Tangxue more closely.
"Indeed, Your Highness is in love with me, and that's why I foolishly came up with this plan. Your Highness, please rest assured, I will not harm him."
Now that we've been discovered, we'll have to find another opportunity to strike.
“I advise you not to use Huanmei Powder. It’s hard to guarantee that it won’t be detected. I have a few Qinghuan Pills here, which have the same effect as Huanmei Powder and are not easy to be detected.”
Pei Xi was somewhat surprised. Wasn't it said that the Crown Princess was deeply in love with His Highness the Crown Prince and refused to give up despite being humiliated repeatedly? Now it seemed that the rumors were not entirely true.
Peixi had been in the Crown Prince's residence for many years, and now that she finally had a chance to rise to prominence, she absolutely could not give it up. After thanking him repeatedly, Peixi left.
This maid is unusual, that was Song Tangxue's first thought. Not only was she afflicted with the aphrodisiac, but she also seemed to have come to the Crown Prince's residence with a purpose. At the banquet, she deliberately acted intimately with Li Zhaoxian. Although she didn't know what her purpose was, she was happy to make things difficult for Li Zhaoxian.
The next day, Song Tangli went to Li Zhaoxian's bedchamber to travel south together, but after knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened it, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Is His Highness still not awake?" The words had barely left his lips when the door opened, and Pei Xi was the first person to be seen. She was wrapped in her clothes with a shy expression, and anyone could tell what had happened last night. She spoke softly, "I'm so sorry, Your Highness. His Highness was too tired last night and didn't hear you knocking, so I came to open the door right away."
Li Zhaoxian's weary voice came from inside the room, confirming his suspicions: "Crown Princess?"
Song Tangli instinctively lunged at Pei Xi: "You vile woman, I'm going to beat you to death!"
Li Zhaoxian stopped him, his brows furrowed: "What are you doing? I'm still here, and you dare to lay a hand on Xi'er!"
Xi'er... It's only been a few days, and they've become so intimate. If it weren't for this lowly maid, His Highness would definitely still be in love with her.
"Your Highness, you must have been bewitched by her. She hasn't visited my chambers for many days, which is why I miscarried. I am extremely depressed..."
Li Zhaoxian interrupted impatiently, "Enough! Do I need to tell you what I'm doing? Go pack your things and head south immediately. I'll get Xi'er some new clothes first."
It was as if she, the Crown Princess, had become an outsider. When Pei Xi passed by Song Tangli, she even bumped into her. So what if she was an illegitimate daughter of the Song family? She was always overshadowed wherever she went.
Song Tangxue had a very comfortable time these past three days, free from the trouble caused by that pair of scoundrels. She had been going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager to relieve her worries, while the Empress had quieted down considerably. Perhaps it was because Li Zhaoyun was not around, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Zhan Ming found Song Tangxue the next day.
"What do you admire about Xie Qianzhong? I only had something important to discuss with you a few days ago, and you wouldn't even let me speak to you!" Zhan Ming was furious at the thought of this. As the leader of the Dark Gate, he was a powerful figure wherever he went, and this was the first time he had been beaten.
Xie Qianzhong showed no mercy, and in the end, they were all left with injuries. The people of Feng County secretly watched the whole thing that day. Fortunately, he wore the ghost mask the whole time, otherwise he would have been exposed to the public like that.
"I'll beat him up every time I see him!"
"You can't beat him." Song Tangxue said mercilessly. Although she hadn't stayed until the end that day, Xie Qianzhong was in much better condition.
"Alright, I'm here to ask you to do something. The Vice Minister of War has handed over his military power to his daughter, Gu Xue. Since she took office, she has aroused a lot of suspicion. Unfortunately, the Vice Minister of War only has one daughter, so he has no other choice. I want you to help her gain a foothold."
Gu Xue is in her early twenties, the perfect age for marriage. The Vice Minister of War has been searching for a suitable candidate these days. Could it be that Zhan Ming...
Zhan Ming saw through Song Tangxue's thoughts: "We are just siblings, I owe her my life."
As for more details, Zhan Ming was unwilling to say anything more. Song Tangxue had no choice but to put aside her time with Xie Qianzhong and come to the Gu residence. Zhan Ming arranged for Song Tangxue to be the identity of the divine physician Feixue. Gu Xue suffered from a hidden illness that had not been cured for a long time, and she was also obsessed with practicing dance, which made her health worse in recent years.
The Vice Minister of War had recruited many famous doctors, but all of them were useless. In fact, some of the doctors were so incompetent that the patients' conditions worsened. Now that the Vice Minister of War, Gu Xuanyong, had also announced that he was ill, Gu Xue was forced to take on the role. Otherwise, given her health, she would never have been able to take charge of the military.
Gu Xue has practiced martial arts since childhood. If it weren't for her hidden illness, she would definitely have become one of the best among her peers. She was also very unwilling. She was clearly not weak, but it was just because of her body. In her previous life, she had regretted this for the rest of her life.
The renowned physician Fei Xue has become famous. It is said that there is no disease she cannot cure. Gu Xuanyong had previously sought her out, but returned empty-handed. This person is too mysterious; if she had not shown herself, no one else would have known about her.
Zhan Ming is quite bold to give her such an identity, but Song Tangxue is also a renowned doctor, so this is quite a coincidence.
Upon learning of Feixue's arrival, the Gu family immediately sent people to greet her. Song Tangxue, wearing a bamboo hat, stepped inside. Although she couldn't see clearly, she was still aware of the gazes of those around her.
"Please wait a moment, my young lady will be here shortly."
Above the hall, there was a painting that exuded a powerful aura. A bronze tiger was coiled below it. Two incense burners were placed on the rosewood table. Song Tangxue was getting tired after waiting for a long time. Just as she was about to close her eyes and concentrate, a series of hurried footsteps came.
"I'm so sorry, Doctor, I was held up by some things and I'm a little late!"
A woman dressed in iron armor and boots rushed over: "The miracle doctor has been waiting!"
Gu Xue's face was unnaturally pale. The long run had taken a toll on her body, and she felt like she might faint at any moment.
"It's alright. Judging from Miss's complexion, she should rest after practicing martial arts for about an incense stick's time."
Gu Xue dismissed the servants, her face showing difficulty: "As expected of a divine doctor, I have had this illness since I was a child, and it is getting more and more serious now."
Song Tangxue took her pulse and found it to be weak. If it weren't for the power of the Gu family, she probably wouldn't be alive now. Gu Xue had been eager to prove her strength to the soldiers in recent days and had spent most of her time practicing martial arts, which made her even weaker.
"Even if the divine doctor cannot cure it, Gu Xue will be eternally grateful." Seeing that Song Tangxue did not speak, Gu Xue guessed that her illness could not be cured.
I should have gotten used to it long ago. If even Fei Xue can't cure it, then no one can.
