Ulanara was plotting against her in her pursuit of cultivation, which led to her death and allowed Rong Xi to take advantage of her.
Rong Xi had no intention of cultivating; she only wanted to enjoy this life like a parasite. However, she unexpectedly embarked on the path of cultivation.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were stunned at almost the same time, half-bewildered.
Their only goal was to help Rong Xi relax her meridians and relieve her pain. However, they ended up helping Rong Xi open her Qi Sea (a point on her dantian).
They're doomed!
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang exchanged a glance, both seeing fear and unease in each other's eyes. They had been invited by the Fourth Prince to ensure the safety of his wife—well, to ensure she wouldn't secretly become a nun.
But now, the Fourth Princess Consort has embarked on a path of cultivation under their guidance.
So comfortable!
Rong Xi regained consciousness, feeling as if she had returned to her mother's embrace, her whole body incredibly comfortable. She felt refreshed, full of energy, and as if she had been reborn.
But the taste...
Rong Xi opened her eyes and saw the conflicted expressions on the faces of Granny Rui and Granny Xiang.
The next moment, she felt something was wrong; her whole body felt sticky, and the stench was coming from her own body.
What's wrong with me?
Looking at the dark, mud-like grime on her wrist, Rong Xi had a rather shocking thought: had she undergone the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing?
"Please forgive me, Madam!"
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang knelt down in front of Rong Xi at the same time.
"Please rise, both of you. What are you doing?" Rong Xi wasn't one to blame others. Although she had unexpectedly embarked on the path of cultivation, every cloud has a silver lining.
Empress Renxiao couldn't overcome the hurdle, and neither could Ulanara clan. It's not that she couldn't either. Besides, all of this is a historical legacy of the Ulanara clan; blaming others is not her style.
"Cultivation was my own decision, and I don't blame you!"
Rong Xi said calmly, "Oh right, I have to go take a shower first, I smell terrible!"
"This servant will have someone prepare bathwater!"
Granny Rui finally showed a slight smile. Even Granny Xiang, whose face had always been icy, thawed a little at this moment.
...
When the warm bath water was prepared and Rongxi was soaking in it, the Fourth Prince hurriedly arrived outside Rongxi's room and confirmed with Granny Rui and Granny Xiang that Rongxi was now able to cultivate.
"That stupid woman is such a nuisance!"
The Fourth Prince originally didn't have much affection for Ulanara, but with her attentive care, he gradually developed some feelings for her, though they were faint, but he was no longer indifferent.
But now, upon hearing that Ulanara had begun her spiritual practice, the Fourth Prince's heart turned cold.
Cultivating with the five spiritual roots is basically a dead end.
Throughout the entire Qing Dynasty, there was no one who didn't know it.
In the eyes of the Fourth Prince, the death of Empress Ulanara was not far off.
“Your Highness, judging from the Fourth Princess Consort’s appearance, she does not seem destined for an early death. Perhaps, the inability of those with five spiritual roots to cultivate will be an exception for her!”
Granny Xiang suddenly spoke.
She had some knowledge of fortune-telling. When she first arrived, she saw signs of impending death on Ulanara's face. However, just now, when she looked at Ulanara's face again, she found that Ulanara's face had changed. It now had the appearance of longevity, and she was destined for an extremely noble life.
In the Qing Dynasty, if a woman's face indicated exceptional nobility, there was only one possibility.
In the future, Ulanara is destined to ascend the throne and become the empress.
This incomparably noble destiny vanished in a flash, overshadowed by the prince's dragon aura.
If it weren't for Granny Xiang's chance to witness the moment when Ulanara's fate changed, she wouldn't have dared to bring it up with the Fourth Prince.
Of course, she still didn't dare to reveal the truth.
The current emperor is at the height of his life, and there is a crown prince on the throne.
If word were to spread that the Fourth Prince's wife would become Empress and rule the world, who knows what kind of chaos it would cause?
Now that the Crown Prince is in power, all the princes are diligently cultivating their spiritual power. The First Prince and the Crown Prince have both broken through their nascent souls to become Nascent Souls, leading a great wave of cultivation among the princes.
Then there are the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, both of whom are at the Golden Core stage, and can be considered the second tier.
Is this really true?
After hearing what Granny Xiang said, the Fourth Prince's somewhat annoyed expression softened a little.
"How dare this servant deceive Your Highness?"
Granny Xiang simply didn't tell everyone she saw, but everything she said was true.
"good!"
The Fourth Prince's handsome face softened slightly. "There's no need to tell the Princess Consort that I came!"
"yes!"
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang agreed in unison.
...
After the Fourth Prince left, the smile on Granny Rui's face disappeared, and she looked at Granny Xiang with a very stern expression.
"Sister, how could you deceive the Prince?"
“Sister Rui, what I said is true!” Granny Xiang smiled slightly. “The moment the Princess Consort opened her Qi Sea, her face really did look like she was going to live a long life. I’m not lying!”
"But how is that possible?"
Granny Rui stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded.
From a very long time ago, cultivating with five spiritual roots has been a dead end. Even for those with four spiritual roots, there is the rare Four Symbols Technique. However, for those with five spiritual roots, the techniques have been lost, and the only one that has been passed down is called the Primordial Chaos Technique, but no one has ever truly mastered it.
Empress Renxiao, despite being blessed by the fortune of the Qing Dynasty, still couldn't survive.
Granny Rui couldn't understand how the Fourth Prince's wife could succeed.
Could it be that the Fourth Prince's wife's fate and fortune are stronger than Empress Renxiao's?
Nothing is impossible!
Granny Xiang smiled faintly, "Sister Rui, this is our chance!"
"Chance?"
"That's right!"
Granny Xiang's smile deepened. "Although we sisters have formed our Golden Cores, we absolutely cannot obtain further cultivation techniques without the imperial favor. But if we can protect the Fourth Princess Consort, perhaps we can advance even further, and perhaps even try for the opportunity to ascend!"
Once you embark on the path of spiritual cultivation, no one will willingly wait to die!
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were originally palace maids who gained the favor of their masters, who bestowed upon them cultivation techniques and resources, enabling them to achieve the Golden Core stage. However, if they wished to advance to the next level, they could not hope to do so without making significant contributions.
"My sister is right, this is indeed our chance!"
Granny Rui's eyes lit up.
...
Rong Xi was completely unaware of what was happening outside while she was bathing and cleaning herself; she was in a very good mood. Well, although cultivating with five spiritual roots was practically a dead end, she felt she wouldn't die so easily. After all, she was now at least a potential protagonist; maybe, well, maybe she'd even have a cheat code appearing!
"master!"
As soon as Rong Xi came out after washing up, Magpie appeared, her face beaming with joy, "Master, good news!"
