Chapter 1: The Princess Who Was Replaced by a Cat as a Prince
"Take her away!"
Bei Jingchu tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see the situation around him clearly.
But her vision now is even more blurred than her previous life of myopia, and she can't see anything clearly, except for a mosaic.
Only the sounds in her ears told her about her current surroundings.
When I looked closely at my hands, I saw that they were a pair of exceptionally small fists.
Could it be that she was transported into the body of a baby?
"Master, are you done considering this? Once you make a decision, there is no going back."
The woman on the bed who had just given birth closed her eyes and didn't even look at it.
"What I want is a prince! The emperor said that whoever gives birth to the eldest prince first will be the empress!"
She said unwillingly, "That bitch Concubine Li is about to give birth, so I have no chance. The princess can't inherit the throne, so what's the point? Take her away!"
Bei Jingchu, who was in the cradle, finally remembered the situation. The biological mother of this body was a concubine. She wanted to replace the princess she gave birth to with a prince in order to compete for the position of queen!
Fortunately, she, Bei Jingchu, traveled through time and space and became the richest person in the world, but she could not enjoy it.
This is no different from winning the lottery but using it as firewood the day before the prize is drawn!
"Wuwuwuwuwu~" She howled loudly.
When Concubine Ying saw the noise was getting louder, she quickly ordered, "Don't stay too long or she'll attract attention. Throw her out right away! Put my prince next to me!"
Bei Jingchu is wearing the secondary CP of this novel. This body is a princess who was stranded in a brothel. After she grew up, she started a tragic love affair with the fake prince who was replaced by Concubine Ying.
Oh no, it was a one-sided abuse of the real princess. Damn, how could it be so unlucky, she felt that she could not withstand the first round of abuse.
You have to know that the fake prince was raised by Concubine Ying with all kinds of concubines, and he developed a perverted personality and tortured the real princess to death.
The nanny covered Bei Jingchu's mouth tightly with her hands to prevent her from crying out loud.
She was also feeling uneasy about helping Concubine Ying, as this was about replacing the royal heir.
But the master is right, what use is a princess?
If she were the nanny who raised the prince, and the prince came to power and was crowned a king, or even ascended the throne, she would have unlimited glory.
On the contrary, if you follow a princess, at most you can get some money and be honored.
If the princess is not favored, she will be controlled by her husband and she will suffer as well.
It would be better to take a chance and change the prince.
Bei Jingchu looked like she was about to be suffocated to death, and only after she stopped crying was she released.
She was wrapped in a basin, mixed with the blood-stained sheets from childbirth, and hastily carried out, just like throwing away garbage.
The pungent smell of blood made her feel uncomfortable. At this moment, a series of orderly footsteps approached rapidly.
"Is the child safe? Is he a prince or a princess?" It was a male voice. Could it be her adoptive father?
Bei Jingchu wanted to cry out loud to get his attention, but a rough big hand predicted it faster than she could.
Her mouth and nose were covered with dirty cloth.
"Your Majesty, mother and child are safe, and it's a prince."
The emperor clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, I reward them all."
[Alas~ My biological father is outside, and my daughter is lying in the basin. I am so miserable~]
The emperor took over the fake prince's action and paused.
Who? Who is speaking?
He looked around and saw that everyone in the palace was bowing their heads and no one spoke.
"Did you hear anyone talking?" he asked Eunuch Jiang.
Eunuch Jiang was stunned and replied, "I haven't heard of it."
[How long are you taking, damn daddy! Why haven’t you come in yet? This old lady is going to smother me to death!]
In the basin, ma’am, suffocate him to death.
The emperor grasped the key word.
In the corner of the screen wall, an old woman was holding a basin in one hand and putting her hands into the basin with the other.
If you don't pay attention you won't notice it, but it will look very strange at first glance.
Normal people would hold the basin with both hands, but she put one hand into the basin to cover something, and it was obvious that she was exerting force with her arm.
When the old nanny saw the emperor looking at her, her heart skipped a beat and she almost dropped the basin.
Bei Jingchu was shaken and felt dizzy.
[This old woman's hands are not strong enough! Can she be more steady? ]
"You, take your hands out."
When the old nanny heard the emperor's order, she was so frightened that she used more force with her hands, almost pressing Bei Jingchu's round head into a flat one.
She struggled, but the newborn baby was too weak, like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Seeing that someone was disobeying his order, the emperor simply drew out the guard's sword and cut off the old lady's arm with one blow.
"ah!!"
With a scream, she dropped the wooden basin because of the severe pain and she couldn't hold it steadily.
The emperor put his hand under the basin and held it steadily.
[Emma, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.]
The emperor reached for the basin with his other hand.
The old nanny knelt down quickly, holding her left arm which was bleeding profusely, and stopped him in horror, "Women give birth to dirty things, Your Majesty, please do not dirty your hands."
The emperor ignored her and directly lifted the bloody cloth, revealing the white and soft baby underneath.
His voice was filled with terrible anger. "What is this?"
Eunuch Jiang, who was running behind, was also startled.
The old nanny trembled and replied tremblingly, "It's... it's a young palace maid who had an affair with a guard and gave birth to an illegitimate child. I will get rid of her now."
"Ahhh." Bei Jingchu stretched out his little arms and cried in a baby voice in dissatisfaction.
[Father, don't listen to this old witch. I am your own daughter! Isn't it strange for a concubine to take away a baby when giving birth? Check it out! Don't make Concubine Ying the queen in the end and help others carefully raise a child for more than ten years.]
But soon her little fist dropped.
[Alas~ I guess they didn’t find out, otherwise how could I have been sold to a brothel. ]
When the emperor heard the baby's voice but didn't see the child speak, a strange guess came to his mind.
He asked Eunuch Jiang again: "Did you hear anyone talking?"
Eunuch Jiang was puzzled and answered truthfully: "It was this old lady who was speaking."
Very good, the emperor confirmed.
What he heard was the child's inner voice. After a moment of doubt, he calmed down.
If this is really his biological child, so what if he is special?
If it is a good omen, it means he has been blessed by heaven. If it is a demon, he is an emperor in the world and I don’t believe he can’t control a child.
The most important thing now is not this miraculous thing, but the message revealed in her heart.
Did Concubine Ying really swap her child, wanting to have a bastard to confuse the royal bloodline?
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes darkened.
Concubine Ying has always been gentle and docile, and he was unwilling to believe that she did it.
"Investigate! Investigate today's incident for me!"
Bei Jingchu fell into a broad and warm embrace and was held in the arms of the tyrant himself.
Concubine Ying was indeed well prepared, and Bei Jingchu really heard the voice of the little palace maid.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I deserve death for causing chaos in the palace and giving birth to an evil child. Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I will strangle this evil child to death!"
