Chapter 300: Sadomasochism (Part 5)
I don’t know if this body is still strong, or if it’s fate, or if the Bigu Pill has other magical effects...
The wound caused by the broken leg did not become inflamed and cause a high fever.
Wu Yanniang just gave her some ordinary medicine for injuries. Gu Qingcheng was unconscious for half a day and a night, and she woke up the next morning.
Gu Qingcheng did not rush to open her eyes, but observed quietly with other senses.
The nose is slightly grassy and has a hint of floral notes.
The cheerful sounds of birds can be heard in my ears.
There was also a ray of sunlight that slowly shone on her.
There is no noise, no danger, everything seems beautiful like a fresh picture in the mountains.
It seemed that she was out of danger for the time being.
However, Gu Qingcheng still closed her eyes, and she was communicating with Huoshui using her consciousness.
"What is the mission this time?"
I was so busy venting my anger on the troublemaker that after reading the story synopsis, I entered into a small world.
I even forgot to ask about the mission! Huoshui quickly rolled out and said obediently, "Mission: I want to become the most noble person in the world by any means necessary, even if I have to give up everything."
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Although it's only one sentence, it contains a lot of information.
Pay attention to the key points: 1. Do whatever it takes; 2. Give up everything! Originally, the moment Gu Qingcheng found out that she had transformed into a man, she guessed that she might be "the man" mentioned by the heroine.
One is probably a scumbag who cheated and took advantage of others, a villain! At this moment, look at the task again, there is no escape! It is "him"! The effect of the Bigu Pill has not yet passed, and Gu Qingcheng is not hungry.
After resting for more than ten hours, her physical strength recovered to a certain extent.
Her physical and mental state, as well as the safe environment, allow her to integrate her memories with confidence.
Gu Qingcheng was lying on a simple wooden bed. The bright sunshine shone softly on her body through the branches of the trees and the small windows of the wooden house.
Very warm and comfortable.
However, Gu Qingcheng, who had integrated her memories, couldn't help but frown.
Something is wrong! Something is very wrong! It’s not that there is something wrong with the original owner’s identity, but——
The original owner, Qing Cheng, was the ninth prince of the Qing Dynasty.
At this point, we need to introduce the current world situation:
The vast empire was divided into three parts, with a total of three dynasties.
The founding emperor of the Yu Dynasty in the north was named Yuan, a foreign ethnic group from the grassland.
They occupied a large area of land north of the Yellow River and Liaodong. Their people were good at riding and shooting, and their national strength was the strongest.
However, because they are foreigners and are used to nomadic life, they are not very good at farming.
Moreover, because of the previous hierarchical policy, the people under the rule were full of resentment and unrest would break out every three to five years.
The policies of the upper class and the resistance of the lower class meant that although the Yu Dynasty had strong military power, it was not peaceful.
They even had to rely on "imports" from Feng Dynasty for their food.
The Feng Dynasty was the one with medium strength among the three dynasties.
The royal family's surname was Chu, and the people under their rule included both clans that migrated south from the Central Plains and local aristocratic families.
They seemed to be more "weak", not good at marching and fighting, but they occupied the best land.
As their dynasty's name was Feng, the Feng Dynasty had enjoyed good weather and bumper harvests every year over the past thirty years.
The food obtained can not only meet their own needs, but can also be "exported" to the other two countries.
Feng Dynasty has become the world's granary.
As the only country among the three that uses the royal surname as its country name, the Qing Dynasty is the weakest.
Their troops were not as strong as those of the Yu Dynasty.
Their resources are not as abundant as those of the Feng Dynasty.
Even the Qing Dynasty's territory was the smallest.
They are located in the center between the north and the south, small but in a very central location.
The people of the Qing Dynasty also considered themselves to be orthodox Central Plains people.
In their view: the Yu Dynasty was a northern barbarian;
Feng Chao, the southern barbarians!
Only their Qing Dynasty is the center of the world and the orthodoxy of the dynasty!
The Qing Dynasty relied on the method of spiritual victory, oh no, it was the strategy of allying with the south and the north, to develop in a sneaky way.
Although the territory was small, the army was few, and the supplies were scarce, it still managed to gain a firm foothold and formed a three-way confrontation with the Yu Dynasty and the Feng Dynasty.
As for the Qing Dynasty's strategy of "allying the south and the north", it is simple to explain.
The two generations of empresses of the Qing Dynasty were both princesses of the Yu Dynasty; the princes of the Qing Dynasty often went to the Feng Dynasty to "study".
But that's in the past!
After thirty or forty years of rapid development, the Qing Dynasty gradually gained strength.
The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty is the third generation of monarchs.
Since he was young, he was determined to develop the Qing Dynasty and unify the world.
The young man ascended the throne, worked diligently and loved the people, and continued to implement the policy of "uniting the south and the north". The Qing Dynasty continued to develop and grow.
He seemed to have the bearing of a wise ruler.
The only thing that people criticize Emperor Qing for is probably his "love brain".
It cannot be said that he is lustful and lustful. In fact, Emperor Qing is not lustful. He has only one queen and four concubines in his harem.
Even the number of nine concubines was not enough.
He only favored one woman - Concubine Dong.
Speaking of Dong, she was definitely a very famous woman in all three dynasties.
First, she was beautiful and extremely talented; second, she was originally the wife of a minister, but Emperor Qing fell in love with her at first sight and then married her into the palace for the second time.
Third, after entering the palace for more than ten years, she enjoyed the exclusive favor of the emperor, and even Empress Yuan had to give her a break.
This is definitely a favorite concubine.
Oh no, in the eyes of people of that time, she was Daji and Baosi who brought disaster to the country and the people and deceived the king.
It's the demon concubine.
And the original owner, Qing Cheng, ahem, is the only child of Concubine Dong, the ninth prince of the Qing Dynasty.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Emperor Qing loves the Ninth Prince, the son of his beloved concubine, and he dotes on him as well.
Among all the princes, the Ninth Prince is definitely the most favored one.
“…Maybe not.”
Gu Qingcheng integrated the original owner’s memories. As a superior, she “observed” the various things happening in the royal family of the Qing Dynasty and immediately discovered the problem.
Emperor Qing should have some feelings for Concubine Dong.
However, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that he was completely bewitched by Concubine Dong.
First of all, Emperor Qing is an emperor! His marriage and his love cannot be judged by the standards of ordinary people or even later generations.
It might be true that he doted on Concubine Dong.
But the bigger fact is——
In the huge harem of the Qing Dynasty, the princesses from the Yu Dynasty (Empress Yuan) and the noble ladies of the Yu Dynasty (Zhaoyi Yuan and Xiurong Yuan) were all childless.
After all, Emperor Qing has true love, and all the noble ladies of the Yu Dynasty have become "decorations".
Even noble ladies like Shufei, Defei and Xianfei, who came from aristocratic families in the Qing Dynasty, were not favored. At most, they picked up the leftovers of Concubine Dong.
However, although the three concubines did not receive much favor, they were all good at giving birth.
Emperor Qing had more than a dozen children, all of whom were taken care of by the three concubines.
The Shu Concubine had two sons and one daughter; the De Concubine had three sons; and the Xian Concubine was the most amazing, giving birth to three sons and three daughters for the Saint in ten years!
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Haha! Haha! I just smiled!
The so-called favorite concubine only gave birth to one son, who was born prematurely and was always sickly.
The three unfavored concubines all gave birth to children and survived! The only one who was excluded was the noblewoman Yuan from the Yu Dynasty.
However, the reputation that Concubine Dong was Emperor Qing's true love had already spread, and the noble ladies of the Yu Dynasty, headed by Empress Yuan, only regarded Concubine Dong as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.
As a former regent queen mother, Gu Qingcheng has seen the ups and downs of the Qing Dynasty's harem. She only wants to say to Emperor Qing: We are all in charge of government affairs, so why bother to sell a sentimental persona? Emperor Qing is first an emperor, and then a man.
There must be political factors mixed in with his "true love".
Well, even if the issue of offspring can be attributed to Concubine Dong's poor health and bad luck, and the three concubines' good fortune and good fertility, what is the original owner's current situation? Isn't he the beloved son of the favorite concubine? When the Qing Dynasty selected princes to go to Feng Dynasty for "study tour" according to "custom", they left out more than ten princes and only selected the ninth prince who was the last in the order?
Love him and pamper him, so if they need someone to go to another country as a hostage, they just take him there? Ha! No one with a brain would believe this nonsense! ... Well, maybe it was the requirement of the plot, or maybe it was because they were naive and gullible, Concubine Dong and the Ninth Prince really believed what Emperor Qing said.
"I love Chong Jiulang, but I have to admit that Jiulang's status is still a little bit lacking!"
The prince born from the second married daughter.
If the age mismatch didn't occur, his background would probably be questioned.
The key point is that Concubine Dong herself was of a relatively humble origin.
Her family is not a noble family; she is just the daughter of an ordinary minor official.
She was chosen to be the princess's companion and came to the palace. Her status was improved, so she was able to marry the son of a court official.
It was also at that time that Emperor Qing developed feelings for Concubine Dong.
However, due to various reasons, Emperor Qing did not keep her in the palace, but let her marry a minister.
Afterwards, Emperor Qing finally couldn't stand the emotional torment anymore, and he brought Concubine Dong to his side, even at the risk of being branded as "stealing my wife."
Concubine Dong became a vicious concubine who brought disaster to the country, and Emperor Qing became a tyrant who was greedy for beauty.
The court officials and the public did not dare to insult the king, so they put all the blame on Concubine Dong.
The prince born to such a charming woman was naturally rejected and even resisted by everyone.
Emperor Qing kept saying that he wanted to pass the throne to the ninth prince, so he "tried every possible means" to increase his capital.
For example, going to Feng Dynasty to study (as a hostage)! In the words of Emperor Qing, "As long as my son performs well in Feng Dynasty and makes meritorious contributions, I will make him the crown prince, and no one else will have anything to say!"
Gu Qingcheng was speechless again.
Can you trust the emperor’s words?
They are all in charge of government affairs, whether it is the emperor or the regent queen mother, their words cannot be listened to at all! But Concubine Dong and the original owner believed them.
Especially the original owner, who embarked on the journey to Feng Dynasty with great ambitions.
He is good-looking, and he can use this face to seduce the princess of Feng Dynasty.
This way, that way...and then it's done!
Gu Qingcheng: ...Silly child, you are so foolish and naive to believe a politician! After integrating the memories of the original owner and understanding the harem situation in the Qing Dynasty, Gu Qingcheng combined the story outline she saw and roughly guessed the "first life" in the original plot...
I've read a few Qing Dynasty novels recently, and there's an interesting statement: Fulin's preference for Dong E may not be what history recognizes. Fulin may like Dong E, but he probably can't live, die, or become a monk for her! Is there a possibility: Dong E was a target? Was it an excuse for Fulin to ignore the Mongolian concubines? After all, for the emperor, even love is mixed with political factors. Just like Li Zhi, was he really henpecked and a coward? The Guanlong Group headed by Zhangsun Wuji, and even the aristocratic families, should have a lot of MMP to say!
