"ah!"
As if he had had an extraordinary dream, Li Shushu suddenly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a rather simple and old room. She slept on a hard bed, and even the curtains were old and yellow.
Is this... the palace maid's residence?
She was reborn?
My mind flashed with light, and memories of my previous life flooded into my mind...
She is the fifth daughter of Li Xiang, the current prime minister of the Da Sheng Dynasty. However, due to her biological mother's poor status, she was abandoned by her father and became a maid of her elder sister Li Xiaodie.
Li Xiaodie entered the palace and became a concubine, and brought her into the palace as well.
Because Li Xiaodie was obsessed with the Seventh Prince, she was unwilling to sleep with him and wanted her to take his place. After all, they were half-sisters, so after dressing up deliberately, they looked quite similar.
Of course Li Shushu was unwilling to do so. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.
So, Li Xiaodie had the servants hold her neck and bury her head in a water tank filled with water...
She remembered that in her previous life, she didn't die here.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Li Xiaodie threatened her with her mother's life, saying that if she didn't agree, she would peel off her mother's skin and use it to make lanterns.
Li Shushu had no choice but to be forced to surrender.
She was simply washed and dressed and then put on the dragon bed.
Fortunately, in her previous life, Li Xiaodie’s emperor’s favor was not abundant. On average, it was only about once a month.
The emperor, perhaps purely for the purpose of having a child, did not even glance at her after completing the task in a proper manner.
During the day, he had never been to the palace where Li Xiaodie lived - Shuyu Palace.
So, three months passed and they were not exposed.
Unexpectedly, just after she had served the emperor in bed for Li Xiaodie three times, by chance, Li Xiaodie suddenly saw the emperor's true face and discovered that the emperor was not an old man as she had imagined.
Instead, he possesses a peerless beauty, a majestic body, and extraordinary handsomeness.
Compared with the seven kings, he was more noble and majestic, and his appearance was more magnificent.
Only then did she realize that she had fallen in love with the emperor again.
She decided to go to the bed by herself next time.
Once she goes to sleep with the emperor herself, there will be no need to keep Li Shushu.
On the contrary, keeping her would be a hidden danger - the Emperor might one day discover that the two sisters were acting on behalf of Li Jiang. That would be a heinous crime, and everything would be over.
So, Li Xiaodie first demoted Li Shushu to the Xinzheku to work for a period of time, but still felt that it was inappropriate, so she decided to go all out. On a dark, windy and snowy night, Li Xiaodie ordered her most trusted servant, Liu Ma, to bring a group of people to throw Li Shushu into a deep well at the gate of the cold palace.
What was even more outrageous was that before that, Aunt Liu laughed and told her a fact that made her feel extremely sad. Her mother was caught by the eldest lady for having an affair with someone. As early as a month ago, her father gouged out her eyes and put her in a pig cage.
…
"Awake?" The palace maid Xiaoye came to the bedside and saw that she had opened her eyes. She asked casually while cracking melon seeds.
"I advise you to just obey her and don't disobey the young lady. You can't beat her." Xiao Ye sighed and advised.
"What time is it now?" Li Shushu asked coldly.
Xiao Ye didn't expect that she could still be so calm at this time.
She looked at the sun outside. "It's almost the evening hour," she cracked another melon seed. "If you've figured it out, tell me so I can report it to the master. Once the evening hour has passed, the Palace of Heavenly Purity should send someone to carry the body away."
"I do." Li Shushu sighed and answered calmly.
"What?" Xiao Ye probably didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly, because the girl in front of her had always been very stubborn. Although she was a concubine's daughter of low status, once she was determined not to do something, no one could do anything to her.
Of course, she suffered a lot for this.
Today, for the first time ever, have you gotten it?
"I said, I am willing. Go and tell the young lady and ask her to arrange for someone to dress me."
Li Shushu had no choice but to confirm it again.
"Really? Fine, I'll go right away."
Xiao Ye seemed to have received great news, and hurried to his master to take credit.
The room became quiet again, and Li Shushu sat up by herself, holding onto the edge of the bed.
She raised her wrist, and a watch appeared out of thin air.
After turning on the switch, there were many different options, including pills and potions with different names. For some reason, she knew how to operate the watch and what the pills were used for without being told.
A small note that did not belong to this era suddenly appeared next to the watch and she picked it up.
When you unfold it, there are only four big words: Give birth to a child to get the upper hand!
Li Shushu's eyes became deep: Yes, since God has given her a chance to be reborn, then she must live a life different from her previous life.
This time, she would make those who bullied her and her mother pay the price.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she threw the small note into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
In the east wing of Shuyu Palace, Xiao Ye quickly ran in from outside, lowering her voice and shouting excitedly, "My lady, Madam Liu, good news, Li Shushu has agreed."
"What?" Hearing this, Li Xiaodie stood up from her seat. She hadn't expected this time to go so smoothly. "Well done, Xiaoye. You've made the greatest contribution this time. You'll be rewarded handsomely later!"
"Thank you, young master!" Xiao Ye quickly bowed proudly.
Li Xiaodie then turned to look at Aunt Liu beside her: "Mammy, now it's up to you!"
A gleam flashed in Madam Liu's eyes, and her expression was fierce: "Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely teach you a lesson."
