Everyone knew that once Xiao Lingchen killed all the eunuchs and eliminated the maternal relatives, the puppet emperor on the throne would definitely be deposed.
At that time, the Dragon Palace throne could only be Xiao Lingchen's possession!
However, no one knew this.
At this time, Grand Tutor Xiao had a hidden, serious illness that stood in the way of his path to seizing the throne, becoming an insurmountable obstacle.
Xiao Lingchen suffers from severe anorexia.
The busier and more tired he was, the worse his anorexia became. He would go two or three days without any appetite, and even if he managed to swallow something, he would vomit it up immediately.
Even with diligent martial arts training and the use of precious medicines, he could only ensure that his body wouldn't collapse and that his energy wouldn't be depleted.
As the power struggles in the court intensify, with the imperial relatives and eunuchs constantly clashing with him, Grand Tutor Xiao is busy with state affairs, eating less and less, becoming weak, and looking as if he might collapse at any moment.
Everyone in the Grand Tutor's mansion was extremely worried, and they were on edge at the slightest disturbance.
In this situation, Xiao Taifu's trusted subordinates discovered that the unassuming second young lady of the mansion, "Xiao Baishu," had secretly entered the Taifu's bedroom, attempting to "climb into his bed." Naturally, they were furious and wished they could tear "Xiao Baishu" to pieces!
The adult is so weak, yet Xiao Baishu dares to harass him!
If an adult falls ill from the shock, can she afford it?!
Even though Xiao Lingchen was still handling official business in his study at the time, he was unaware that someone had entered his bedroom, and his subordinates were also indignant.
The subordinates took it upon themselves to exile Atractylodes macrocephala to a rural village as punishment.
Tong Su frowned: "In the original owner's memories, she never got close to the male lead, let alone tried to climb into his bed."
The original owner was sleeping in her room in the middle of the night when someone inexplicably rushed over, grabbed her, and accused her of being audacious and attempting to murder Grand Tutor Xiao. They tied her up and dumped her here.
666 jumped onto Tong Su's lap, rolled around, found a comfortable spot to lie down, and said in a helpless electronic voice: "[Because the person in the bedroom is actually Xiao Qingwan.]"
Xiao Qingwan?
Tong Su was taken aback.
Xiao Qingwan and Bai Shu are twins from the same mother and look almost identical. After her rebirth, she took advantage of her younger sister Bai Shu's young age and deliberately raised Bai Shu to be a cowardly scapegoat.
She blamed all the trouble she had caused on Xiao Baishu, and all of Xiao Baishu's merits were impersonated, stealing her limelight.
That night, Xiao Qingwan secretly sneaked into Grand Tutor Xiao's bedroom, intending to steal some of his confidential documents or personal seals. Before she could find anything, she was discovered by her subordinates outside the room.
She fled in a panic, and had no choice but to try to frame the original owner of the body.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Taifu's subordinates had such wild imaginations that when they saw a woman in the room, their first reaction was not that a thief was stealing things, but that the woman wanted to climb into bed with them.
"...How much does he want to find a wife for his master?"
Tong Su made a sarcastic remark with a blank expression.
666, on the verge of tears: [Historically, Xiao Lingchen never married. While history has changed in this world, this aspect of his life remains the same. Now he's twenty-six, without a wife, concubines, or maids. His political enemies in the court are spreading gossip and rumors, claiming he's gay!]
Tong Su was truly breathtaking.
These high-ranking officials are no ordinary people when it comes to gossip.
[By the way, miss, Xiao Lingchen in this world is incredibly handsome, even more so than Xi Chenzhou from the previous world! I strongly suggest you sleep with him! He's 188cm tall, 188cm in size, legs that start right below his neck, eight-pack abs, and a killer butt—absolutely top-tier!]
