"Ding... Confirmed entry into the mission world, teleporting..."
"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself! The Emperor cares deeply for you..."
Yunqi's head was buzzing with pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw a palace maid serving her. Yunqi looked around and felt a strange sense of familiarity. "All of you, step back."
"Yes." The palace servants immediately withdrew.
After receiving the memories, Yunqi was filled with emotion. The task Xiaoqi chose… it really was…
This is her original world, except that it is now five years after her (Yunqi's) death.
The original owner's name was Miao Qi'er, a child of the Miao family, Yun Qi's mother's clan. The Miao family has been practicing medicine for generations and their thinking is not outdated. Miao children, regardless of gender, are required to learn medicine. As for other things, as long as they want to learn, the Miao family will invite teachers to teach them.
Miao Qi'er's other skills are not outstanding, except for her medical skills, which are slightly better.
Speaking of which, Miao Qi'er is the legitimate daughter of Yun Qi's uncle, and her little cousin. When she first returned to the Miao family, Miao Qi'er was just a little girl. Unexpectedly, she has now become the empress and has given birth to Prince Yun Chu.
After Yunqi's death, Yunfeng defied public opinion and made Miao Qi'er his empress. Because the Miao family was a renowned family of physicians and had little influence in the court, Yunfeng felt comfortable spoiling Miao Qi'er. The year after their marriage, Miao Qi'er gave birth to Prince Yun Chu.
Later, many daughters of high-ranking officials entered the palace, and the harem gradually became less peaceful.
Miao Qi'er originally loved Emperor Yunfeng. However, after repeated disappointments, she came to terms with it and no longer hoped that the emperor would love her. She only wanted to protect her son, Yun Chu, so that he could grow up safely.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans. When Yun Chu was 7 years old, she was secretly killed and fell into a lake. By the time she was found, she was already dead.
Yunfeng sent people to investigate thoroughly, but the matter was ultimately dropped. Miao Qi'er lost all will to live and died of depression less than two years later.
Miao Qi'er's wish: To protect Yun Chu and help her grow up safely.
Yunqi rubbed her forehead. The harem was really not Yunqi's battlefield. In her previous life, Yunqi was raised as a boy and was active in the court and on the battlefield. Now, she had to protect a prince in the harem so that he could grow up safely. It was really difficult for her.
If only she had transmigrated into a man, then she could have kept him by her side and protected him as he grew up safely...
Yunqi returned to this original world, feeling somewhat conflicted, unsure how to face her former imperial brother.
"I miss my son a little. Go and bring him here."
"yes."
Yunqi picked up a book at random; it was a medical book… She read it while waiting for Yun Chu to come over.
Four-year-old Yun Chu put on a serious face, behaving like a little adult, and respectfully bowed to Yun Qi, saying, "Greetings, Mother."
Yunqi nodded and waved to Yun Chu, signaling him to come over: "My son, come to your mother."
Yun Chu was taken aback. Her mother had never been so affectionate towards her before; she only ever told her to study hard with her teacher.
Yun Qi held Yun Chu in her arms and calmly took his pulse. Hmm, thankfully, the little guy was healthy. Yun Chu was the original owner's son, her nephew, and the eldest son of her elder brother, the Emperor. Yun Qi felt even more fond of Yun Chu: "The Emperor's birthday is in a few days. Is there anything you like?"
Yun Chu shook his head; he didn't lack anything. On the contrary, his mother's affectionate embrace made him a little uncomfortable, but he quickly nestled in her arms, unwilling to leave. His mother's embrace was so warm. After all, Yun Chu was still only a four-year-old child.
"Can my son understand the teacher's lessons?"
Yun Chu shook his head somewhat ashamed: "Mother, I don't really understand."
"It's alright. Just write down anything you don't understand and bring it back to your mother after class," Yunqi comforted Yunchu. "Speaking of which, it must be a bit lonely for you to be the only child in class. How about your mother finds someone to study with you?"
"Yes! Thank you, Mother!" Yun Chu happily snuggled in Yun Qi's arms.
Yunqi patted Yunchu's head, recalling Miaoqi'er's memories, and thinking about who would be a suitable person to accompany Yunchu in her studies.
Yun Chu had lunch at Yun Qi's place and lingered there for a while before reluctantly leaving.
Yunqi looked at Yun Chu with amusement: "Your Highness, you can come to your mother's place whenever you have time."
"Okay!!" Yun Chu left happily.
Yun Qi dismissed the crowd and began cultivating the Heaven and Earth Technique. In the evening, Yun Qi felt a faint trace of spiritual energy within her body. Although the spiritual energy was small, it made her feel refreshed.
"Someone come here."
"Your Majesty."
"Prepare water. I wish to take a bath."
"yes."
Yunqi frowned almost imperceptibly as she looked at the flower petals covering the water. "From now on, I will not use flower petals for my baths. All of you, leave. No one is allowed to enter without my order!"
"Yes." Although Qinghe was puzzled by the Empress's change, as the Empress's personal maid, she still obeyed the Empress's orders as always and never asked questions that she shouldn't.
After a comfortable bath, Yunqi sat down at her dressing table. Qinghe dried Yunqi's hair and said, "Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth. The Emperor has sent word that he will be here soon..."
Is today the fifteenth?
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Qinghe, help me change into something light and comfortable. You don't need to bring any jewelry."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming soon, you mustn't..."
"Hmm?!" Yun Qi glanced at Qing He.
Qinghe immediately shut up. Yunqi instructed Qinghe to prepare cloud and mist tea. She also sent someone to the imperial kitchen to order some food.
Yunqi went through Miao Qi'er's memories again. Miao Qi'er died too young and was unaware of what was happening in the court. Miao Qi'er lived her life in a daze; she didn't even know who had harmed her son, nor who among her subordinates was truly loyal... Alas, she had to start all over again herself.
