Chapter 1: I've traveled through time, and I can't be lenient when it comes to torturing the scumbag! 】
"Oh no, Empress Duan, the Crown Princess...she hit her head against a pillar and died!" a eunuch reported in a trembling voice.
"Dead? You're probably faking it! Pour cold water on me to wake me up! Humph! Do you think you can escape the crime of treason by hitting your head against a pillar and dying? Dream on!" A woman in luxurious clothes and heavy makeup shouted harshly.
With a splash, the cold water splashed onto Shen Fenghe, whose head was covered in blood.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace all knelt on the ground trembling, and no one dared to speak.
Chen Fenghe's eyelashes moved slightly, and the coldness all over her body and the pain on her forehead brought her back to consciousness.
What... happened?
Shouldn't she have been shattered to pieces by an explosion while on duty? Why was she still feeling pain?
Chen Fenghe slowly opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene before her.
She was seen lying in an antique house. In the middle of the room sat a woman wearing gold and silver jewelry. Next to her stood another woman dressed in ancient costume, as well as a big eunuch holding a whisk and several palace maids and eunuchs.
This... Could it be that she also traveled through time as she pleased?
At the same time, a large amount of memories flooded into Shen Fenghe's mind.
It turns out that this is a fictional dynasty called Dayu, and the original owner of this body is also called Chen Fenghe, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel Shen Shi'an.
However, Shen Shi'an favored his concubine over his wife. As early as when Shen Fenghe was eight years old, he sent his pregnant wife and the original owner to the ancestral home in the countryside.
Even later, when the original owner's mother gave birth to twins and died of complications during childbirth, Shen Shi'an did not care.
The original owner grew up on a farm in the countryside until he was sixteen years old, and Crown Prince Xiao Yunshuo was old enough to marry a Crown Princess.
The original owner was married to the prince by the late emperor, who was also the prince's grandfather. Although Shen Shi'an tried to replace the original owner with his half-sister Shen Meixin, the queen and the original owner's mother were good friends and insisted that the prince marry the original owner as his principal wife.
Shen Shian had no choice but to bring the original owner and her twin children back to Kyoto.
Half a year ago, the original owner entered the Eastern Palace and married the prince.
Unexpectedly, on his wedding night, before the prince had time to take off the red veil, urgent news suddenly came from the border that the Northern Rong had launched a large-scale invasion.
The prince was urgently summoned by the emperor, and he volunteered to go to war. He only had time to send a letter to the original owner, and then he led the army to fight overnight.
Half a month ago, good news came from the front. The prince defeated the Northern Rong army and drove them out of the border of Dayu. He even recovered five cities that were occupied by the Northern Rong ten years ago and returned victorious.
These are all happy events.
However, a few days ago, a secret report suddenly arrived that the prince intended to lead the army in rebellion, which was discovered by the fifth prince Xiao Yunqi who was accompanying the expedition. The prince and a small number of his confidants were forced to the edge of a steep cliff, and with no other choice they jumped off the cliff and died!
He went from being the crown prince of Dayu with distinguished military achievements to a traitor who intended to rebel and was executed!
The original owner of the East Palace was in a situation where she would rise and fall together with the prince.
The most likely outcome for the original owner is beheading, and the best possible outcome is probably exile!
And today, it was Concubine Duan, the mother of the fifth prince Xiao Yunqi, who came to the Eastern Palace deliberately to cause trouble for her!
The original owner was weak in character. She received the tragic news of her husband's death and was forced by Concubine Duan to provide evidence of the prince's rebellion, so she committed suicide.
Concubine Duan sneered twice and said, "Humph! I told you this bitch was pretending to be dead! Wang Yin, go and slap him in the face!"
The eunuch holding the whisk heard this, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes!"
As he said that, he walked up to Chen Fenghe and raised his hand to grab her hair.
As a special forces soldier and military doctor who had undergone rigorous training and countless actual combat, Chen Fenghe almost reflexively grabbed Wang Yin's wrist and twisted it with a clever force!
There was a "click" sound, followed by Wang Yin's wailing "Ahhh!", and Wang Yin's arm was dislocated.
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound. The original owner was too weak. If she hadn't used some clever strength just now, she probably wouldn't have been able to subdue this eunuch!
"You dog slave! Who the hell are you? How dare you touch me?" Chen Fenghe scolded coldly.
Concubine Duan and the young woman standing beside her were stunned when they saw the cowardly and submissive Chen Fenghe suddenly attack.
Concubine Duan quickly recovered, slammed the table, and shouted, "What a daring slave! How dare you fight back! All of you, go up and teach her a lesson!"
Chen Fenghe swept her clear eyes over the eunuchs and palace maids who were about to gather around her, and coldly scolded, "Who dares? I'll see! I'm the Crown Princess of the great Yu State. Even your masters don't have the right to touch me, so how can you dogs and slaves touch me?"
As a modern man, Chen Fenghe respectfully declined the relationship between master and servant, but in the current situation, he could only use this method to shock the situation!
After hearing this, the eunuchs and palace maids looked at each other and dared not step forward.
Concubine Duan sneered angrily, "I have no right to touch you. Chen Fenghe, the Crown Prince has been executed for treason, and you, the Crown Princess, are already a prisoner! How dare you be so arrogant in front of me!"
Chen Fenghe glared at her coldly and said indifferently:
"The Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion? That's just your son's one-sided account. Perhaps Xiao Yunqi is plotting a conspiracy against the Crown Prince! You say the Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion, and I'm a prisoner. Do I have a document from the Ministry of Justice? An imperial edict from the Emperor? If not, then I'm still the Crown Princess! Although Concubine Duan is the elder, she's only a concubine. Our court always prioritizes the relationship between the monarch and the minister, then the relationship between seniority. If you really want to make a fuss about it, Concubine Duan's failure to greet me when she saw me is already a breach of etiquette! I won't make a fuss about it, but Concubine Duan is acting wildly! I want to see who dares to mess around in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace!"
Fortunately, although the original owner was cowardly, she had first-class knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and etiquette. Otherwise, she really didn't have the knowledge to confront others.
Concubine Duan was so angry that she could only stare blankly.
Although the secret report of the prince's rebellion has been delivered to the emperor, because it only has the fifth prince's one-sided statement and there is no solid evidence, the emperor has not yet issued an order to put a final conclusion on the prince's rebellion!
She was also too proud for a moment and came to interrogate Chen Fenghe, trying to get some evidence of the prince's conspiracy to rebel in the East Palace to help her son.
But she didn't expect that Chen Fenghe actually seized on this point and used the trick against her!
Concubine Duan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and she was just unsure how to end the situation when the young woman standing beside her spoke at the right time, "Mother, please don't be angry. My sister was heartbroken and crazy, and it's not surprising that she offended you. Let me go and talk to her."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fenghe turned his clear eyes to the young woman and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This woman was none other than the original owner's half-sister, Chen Meixin, who got married on the same day as her and married the fifth prince, Xiao Yunqi.
However, no matter how favored Chen Meixin was in the Shen family, she was born out of wedlock and could only be given the title of concubine of the fifth prince.
Chen Meixin walked up to Chen Fenghe and said with a sad face:
"Sister, I know you're heartbroken, but the Crown Prince has already made a grave mistake. How can you remain stubborn and insist on going your own way? You should also think about the future and safety of our father and the entire Shen family! You are the Crown Prince's wife, and if you know anything, now is the time to confess. If you are willing to confess, Concubine Duan will certainly plead with His Majesty and save your life!"
Before he finished speaking, a crisp "pop" sound echoed throughout the palace.
Chen Meixin covered her face with her hands, a flash of anger crossed her face, and she stared at Chen Fenghe in astonishment.
Chen Fenghe actually dared to hit her!
