The scene changes, and figures are seen outside the white gauze curtains. A bright and beautiful woman leans against a pillow, her gaze lowered downwards.
With her delicate features and arched eyebrows, she casually nodded to the elderly Miao man on the edge of the hill, "Let's begin!"
"His Majesty is cruel, ruthless, cold-blooded, and murderous. In the three years since his ascension to the throne, he has killed eight of his brothers. In order to consolidate power, even the veteran prime ministers from three reigns have died by His Majesty's sword."
Next up is my Zhenguo Duke's mansion, which commands 300,000 troops.
The woman smiled through her tears, looking at the old man with a hint of pleading, "My sister-in-law is about to give birth, and Ruanruan can't bear to see her nephew haven't even opened his eyes to see this world yet."
"Uncle Nan, please help me."
The old man sighed, and the silver ornaments on his body jingled as he turned his wrist.
"Have you thought this through? This Gu is called Yin Gu. Once planted, you're doomed to die, and there's no going back."
The woman's eyes were resolute. "His Majesty was implanted with a Yang Gu in his childhood, and after many years, he has become symbiotic with it. This is the only way. I have no regrets!"
The process of being poisoned by the Gu was extremely painful. She had a high fever during the day and a bone-chilling cold at night, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, her eyes shining as brightly as ever.
Until she survived the most dangerous period and confirmed that the Yin Gu was alive near her heart, the Miao elder Tathagata left silently.
The maid beside her choked out, "Promise, is it worth it for a Duke's mansion like that? You know, they don't care about you at all..."
"Shut up." The woman snapped, then chuckled as she looked at the little girl's dazed expression. "No matter how you treat me, that's still my home."
After the maidservant left, only the woman remained in the dilapidated side hall, and her calm gaze became extremely strange.
Is it home?
The woman who gave birth to twins violated a royal taboo, so she spoiled her weaker older sister rotten, giving her every whim.
Yet, the Duke's mansion, which concealed the identity of its younger sister who was born an hour later and pretended to be kind and righteous by making its daughter a servant to wash the feet of her older sister under the guise of being reluctant to part with her, could be called a home?
If that's the case, so what if she destroys or dismantles it herself?
When His Majesty first ascended the throne, the harem was left empty for three years under the pretext of mourning the late emperor.
Every three years, with the general election approaching, the young princess of the Duke's mansion, who had been personally appointed by the late emperor, was afraid of His Majesty's cruelty and refused to enter the palace.
However, the list of candidates for the general election had already been presented to His Majesty. The entire Duke's mansion was full of expectations that their daughter would enter the palace and win His Majesty's favor, but they did not expect her to be so resistant.
After threatening suicide several times, the Duke's mansion had no other choice but to remember her younger sister, who looked seven or eight parts like her older sister and worked as a maid in the mansion.
No one asked her if she was willing, and no one cared whether she would survive after entering the palace.
The Duke's family's frantic behavior finally displeased the emperor on the throne. Despite entering the palace as the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, she was given the lowest-ranking concubine position.
She was trampled on by a group of young ladies from families less privileged than her.
His Majesty is averse to women, and his body is tormented by Yang Gu for many years. His harem is not a harem, but a magnificent Gu harem.
Watching the concubines fight and scheme for him, resorting to all sorts of poisoning and harming, he was forced to wade into this murky water, which involved the previous dynasty.
Having never received any proper upbringing as a child of a prominent family, the original owner couldn't survive a single day in such a corrupt environment.
She replaced her sister; though of high birth, her rank was low, and the Emperor disliked her.
The concubines in the harem, like cats smelling fish, rushed to get rid of her, who was an eyesore to the Emperor.
The original owner did not last more than half a year. She suffered all kinds of framing and torment and was finally thrown into a dry well by the palace servants in the cold palace, where she starved to death.
And so, she came!
Come and avenge the original owner's unforgettable death!
The original owner only had two wishes.
First, the Duke's Mansion, which promised to give birth but not raise children, will cease to exist.
Secondly, she wanted those concubines who had framed her to also experience the pain of being framed, tortured, and dying with their eyes wide open in disgrace.
To achieve the above two points, Ruan Xianxian immediately set her sights on the tyrant whom the original owner had never met before his death.
He was afflicted with a strange poison in his childhood. Although this poison would torment him to the point of unbearable pain, it would also make his martial arts skills and internal strength surpass those of others.
His Majesty, who is afflicted with the Yang Gu poison, is unable to have sexual relations with ordinary women.
In the story, only the original owner's older sister, the chosen one with a unique fragrance, escaped the imperial selection but still couldn't escape the emperor's clutches.
A chance encounter led the emperor to discover that her body odor could relieve his headaches. She was then forcibly taken to the palace, beginning a three-year period of imprisonment and escape with the emperor.
Finally, together with the male protagonist, they plotted to frame and kill the villainous emperor, and the two ascended to the highest throne.
Ruan Xianxian arrives at the beginning of the story. She has just entered the palace. The female lead is still complacent because she does not have to enter the palace to serve the tyrant, while the male lead is also enduring hardship and biding his time.
Meanwhile, the villains hold all the power.
She agreed to go to the palace in her sister's place and, through a premonition in the plot, contacted the Miao witch doctor who later helped the male and female protagonists plot to kill the main villain.
He used the life-saving grace he owed the Duke's mansion in his early years to plant a sinister curse on himself.
By using up her connections, she not only eliminated potential future problems, but also aimed to become the only person in the palace to receive unparalleled favor.
With a splash, the water broke open, exposing her stunning figure to the air under the moonlight. Her waist-length black hair, soaked with water, was gathered behind her back with her hands.
What a beautiful picture of a woman emerging from her bath.
Not far away, a tall figure with a majestic and imposing presence stood silently in the darkness. His companion had already bowed his head deeply, his Adam's apple bobbing, and his gaze was extremely profound.
"Xia Daban," the man said, his voice low and hoarse, "Go and find out which palace maid dares to run around the palace after curfew."
As Ruan Xianxian left, a smile played on her lips. Her first attempt at winning over the enemy was a success!
Once you do it the first time, you'll do it a second and a third time.
All of her information had already been placed on the emperor's desk.
The yin and yang poisons were drawn to each other, and they truly enjoyed the pleasure of the night. The man gripped her neck, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "Beautiful Lady Ruan, you schemed to seduce me. What do you want?"
The beauty wrapped her arms around his waist, her breath sweet as orchids in his ear, "I want the Duke's mansion to be utterly destroyed!"
The emperor smiled, his scarlet eyes terrifying, yet his words were extremely gentle, "Then I will grant your wish."
She went from being a concubine to a beauty, and after gaining favor, she was promoted to imperial concubine overnight and given the title of Chen!
The imperial court and the harem were thrown into turmoil!
When Consort Zhu Hui killed a noble lady, the tyrant learned of it, but he still proudly told his chief attendant, "Consort Chen has the beauty I had in my prime."
After completing her second mission, the original owner once again set her sights on the Duke's mansion.
He discussed the plan with the emperor, and together with his entourage, returned to his residence under the guise of visiting relatives.
That night, the century-old Duke's Mansion collapsed.
The emperor held the 300,000-strong army firmly in his grasp.
She stood hand in hand with the emperor outside the prison gates where the Duke's mansion was being held, dressed in a flowing, floor-length palace gown. Princess Qixia, the true eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, clung tightly to the prison gates with both hands.
Her face was filled with madness and a deep-seated resentment, and she carried a kind of longing.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I should be the one serving you in the palace! This vile woman impersonated me to enter the palace!" She pointed at Ruan Xianxian, her face filled with hatred.
"I should be your Consort Chen, Your Majesty!"
To Ruan Xianxian's utter surprise, the moment this woman approached, her emperor husband, who could remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him...
direct……
I threw up!
