That makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
Ji Xiaoxiao knew the original owner was useless, but she didn't know that the original owner was actually a fighter among the useless, an elite among the scum. The thought of having to work for such a person filled Ji Xiaoxiao with bitterness.
If given a choice, couldn't one be reborn as a cosmic hero or a great and outstanding individual?
Tihan Palace, though a cold palace, was actually a grand palace. No longer discussing the matter of lodging, Ji Xiaoxiao ordered people to search for Xue Jinghan, and soon she was found.
Xue Jinghan lived in a small house behind the main hall of Tihan Palace. When Ji Xiaoxiao arrived, Xue Jinghan was already half dead.
"Lü Ying, what brings you here? Did you come to see me make a fool of myself?"
Xue Jinghan is beautiful; every smile and frown is a sight to behold. Even when her complexion is extremely poor, lacking any rosy glow, it cannot diminish her captivating charm.
"I've come to take you back," Ji Xiaoxiao said softly, afraid of startling the beauty.
"Take me back? My entire Xue family was slaughtered, where can I go back to?" Xue Jinghan was furious and started coughing. "Lu Ying, you harmed my whole family, I swear I will never let you go."
Everyone has a love for beauty. Ji Xiaoxiao sat down on the edge of the small wooden bed, reached out and patted Xue Jinghan's back, her intention to comfort her was very clear.
"I didn't...."
Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes widened. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Xue Jinghan suddenly jumped up, the dagger in her hand, gleaming green, aimed straight at Ji Xiaoxiao's heart.
Ji Xiaoxiao was strong and capable, and had many tricks up her sleeve, so subduing the sickly girl was a piece of cake. Grabbing the edge of the bed, she leaned forward, barely dodging Xue Jinghan's attack.
Before Ji Xiaoxiao could retaliate, Xue Jinghan's eyes bulged, blood gushed from her mouth, and she closed her eyes and fainted.
"Hey, you can't die! I'm waiting for your dad to come and help me."
Ji Xiaoxiao quickly brought Xue Jinghan back to Kunning Palace and summoned the imperial physician to treat her all night, using countless elixirs and miraculous medicines, before Xue Jinghan's life was finally saved.
After a busy day, during the morning court session, Ji Xiaoxiao paid little attention to Lu Guiting's relentless pressure. She simply mentioned that the Right Chancellor had been reinstated, and Lu Guiting immediately lost her composure.
"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn."
Silence fell, and no one answered. The eunuch then announced, "Court adjourned."
Upon returning to Kunning Palace, someone immediately came to report Xue Jinghan's physical condition.
Xue Jinghan is delicate and frail, and has suffered multiple miscarriages, which have damaged her health. While living in the Tihan Palace, she was left unattended and without any medicine. Now, she has fallen seriously ill, and it may take many years to recover.
"When will he wake up?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked the imperial physician.
The imperial physician looked flustered and said, "The Empress is not only plagued by illness, but also has a knot in her heart. If this knot cannot be untied, I'm afraid there is no hope of her waking up."
"Can't wake up?"
Plans can't keep up with changes. During the days when Xue Jinghan was unconscious, Xue Feishuang was reinstated to his original position, but he was no longer devoted to Ji Xiaoxiao. Instead, he focused his energy and attention on the people.
Xue Feishuang refused to help Ji Xiaoxiao, and Lu Guiting was now acting arrogantly. Ji Xiaoxiao could kill Lu Guiting with a single blow, but she had to consider the instability of the state. Once the state was unstable, with wolves and tigers surrounding it from the outside and corrupt officials at home, the Lü family's empire would be in grave danger of collapse.
For the sake of the mission, Ji Xiaoxiao felt frustrated and endured Lu Guiting's jumping around.
One year later, Kunning Palace.
"Jing'er, it's time for you to wake up. I've been waiting for you for a whole year."
Having learned a few modern medical techniques, Ji Xiaoxiao would rush to Kunning Palace whenever she had free time over the past year to talk to Xue Jinghan.
With deep affection and loyalty, she did not fail her ailing husband.
In response, Xue Feishuang, who had been bitten by a snake once and was afraid of ropes for ten years, changed his opinion of Ji Xiaoxiao quite a bit.
"Your Majesty, it's time for the Empress to bathe," a palace maid said to Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then waved for them all to leave. The emperor had condescended to personally serve Xue Jinghan; Ji Xiaoxiao didn't believe he wouldn't be so moved that he would jump up and hug her.
After undressing Xue Jinghan, Ji Xiaoxiao placed her in the bathtub and used a towel to wipe her body, running her hand down to reveal rows of bones. Xue Jinghan was a beauty, but after a year, her body was crippled, leaving only her face still intact.
"I've never given you a bath before, you're so lucky."
Helping people bathe is hard and tiring work, Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Wash, wash, wash..." Despite her words, Ji Xiaoxiao was hardworking and dutiful by nature. Helpless, she tried to find joy in her hardship and hummed a little tune.
As she was singing, suddenly, Ji Xiaoxiao's hand was grabbed.
Xue Jinghan suddenly opened her eyes, her dark pupils reflecting the helpless Ji Xiaoxiao.
"Run! Someone's trying to kill you!" he screamed with all his might.
After saying that, Xue Jinghan turned her head away and fainted again.
Meanwhile, in the Lu family courtyard.
"Hiss, Chrysanthemum, did that person say when they're going to make their move?"
Chrysanthemum gently applied the medicine to Lu Yalan. The sensations were cool, spicy, and painful, causing Lu Yalan to gasp and her face to turn pale.

It's almost the end of the month, could you give Xiaoming a ticket if you have one?
If you're going to give me a rating, could you give me the first five stars?
Dreaming in broad daylight, doesn't it seem shameless of Xiaoming? But... let's just say Xiaoming is shameless!
Oh, if it smells bad, then forget it. Xiaoming takes a bath every day, and with cold water too!
