Chapter 1 Rebirth "Miss Yan, you are so beautiful."...
It was drizzling outside the yard.
Perhaps because it was cloudy, it was already getting light at around 3:00 AM.
In the huge golden palace, there was only a candle lit on the floor next to the carved bed covered with gauze.
The candlelight flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and one could vaguely see the figures entangled in the messy bed curtains.
The girl's jet-black hair was scattered on the soft pillow, and her fair and delicate face had a slightly unnatural blush.
A pair of jade arms intimately clasped the strong shoulders of the handsome man in front of her, and her watery almond eyes were filled with mist.
To cater to, to entangle, to indulge and to be willful.
Yan Shu only felt waves of itchiness and heat rising in her body. Only by getting closer, getting closer to the person in front of her, could she stop the burning sensation in her body.
She clung to the man's shoulders, and the heat in her body seemed to subside a lot with the man's ups and downs.
Just as Yan Shu tilted her head back in a daze and let the man in front of her kiss her neck, her mind suddenly boomed like thunder, and she was extremely stunned.
Isn't she dead?
Xiao Yu sent Yan Qingwan to bring her poisoned wine today. After she drank a glass, the poison had already penetrated her intestines and lungs.
There was only heart-wrenching pain all over my body.
I'm afraid he has already gone to heaven by now.
How could she...why would she still be entangled with a man at this time!
Yan Shu immediately turned her head with trembling eyelashes, trying to see who was on her body with the help of the flickering candlelight.
Although the candlelight was dim, it was still possible to make out some of it.
When Yan Shu took a closer look at the handsome face that was buried in her shoulder and kissing her, her pupils suddenly trembled.
She can still remember the person in front of her even if he turns into ashes.
That was King Xiao who locked her in the Golden Palace for a whole year and finally gave her a cup of poisoned wine!
Perhaps noticing the stiffness of the woman beneath him, the handsome man buried in the girl's shoulder finally raised his head.
His narrow eyes were dark, with red at the corners, and there seemed to be a hint of moisture in his pupils.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu grasped the girl's slender waist, and gently pressed his thin red lips against her snow-white waist. His dark eyes fixed on the person in front of him, "Last night, Miss Yan was so passionate."
After hearing the man's familiar words, Yan Shu was even more stunned.
Because Xiao Yu had said exactly the same thing to her in the past!
But that was three years ago when she first had an attack of the poison.
The reason why Yan Shu remembered this sentence so clearly was because that night was so thrilling that she would never forget it in her life.
Three years ago, when Yan Shu entered the Xiao Palace along with many other women, the ruler of the Xiao Kingdom was still the lustful King Xiao Wei. Yan Shu had heard of his romantic affairs and felt a deep dislike for him, so even after becoming a beauty in the Xiao Palace, she did not make any moves to compete for his favor.
There were many beauties entering the palace, and many of them were flatterers. Therefore, Yan Shu, who deliberately pretended to be sick to avoid favor, was not noticed by King Xiao Wei for a while.
Just when Yan Shu thought she could live her life peacefully like this, on the fifteenth day, the love poison in her body suddenly broke out.
The Hehuan Gu, as its name suggests, can only be cured by Hehuan.
A woman who has been poisoned by a Gu can only survive if she has sex with a man all night while the poison is active. If she does not follow this method, the poisoned woman's blood will surge upwards, and she will eventually die from a ruptured blood vessel.
As for why the Queen of Yan State gave Yan Shu the love poison, it can be attributed to the mismatched marriage between Yan State and Xiao State.
The ruler of the Xiao Kingdom was nearly sixty years old and lustful, and he loved to collect beauties from all over the country. However, the Xiao Kingdom was powerful, so the princes and nobles from all over the country rushed to cater to his interests.
Three years ago, after the Battle of Huailing between Yan and Xiao, Yan was defeated and severely damaged. King Yan Wen wanted to defect to Xiao, so he took the initiative to offer his youngest daughter Yan Shu to King Xiao Wei.
Yan Shu had just reached the age of marriage at that time. She was a beautiful girl like a water chestnut and was at the age of falling in love for the first time. She only loved the gentleman who was as handsome as jade. Naturally, she was reluctant to marry the lustful and old King Xiao Wei.
But although she was a princess of a country, her biological mother Hui Ji was of low status, so she was powerless to resist King Yanwen's arranged marriage.
So no matter how reluctant Yan Shu was, she had to get on the carriage and enter Xiao Guo's harem.
Since she had been sent to King Xiao's harem, Yan Shu would have to compete for favor and play some role in the emperor's influence. So before Yan Shu left, Queen Yan had someone secretly tamper with her food.
With this sweet love poison, Queen Yan is naturally not afraid that Yan Shu will not compete for her favor.
It was not until Yan Shu entered the palace of the Xiao Kingdom that she learned from the accompanying Jiang Ai that she had been poisoned by the Queen Yan.
At first, Yan Shu still felt a little lucky because she didn't feel any discomfort in her body at that time.
It was not until the fifteenth day when the poison in her body began to take effect that she realized the power of the Hehuan Gu.
The burning sensation coming from the blood tortured Yan Shu so much that no matter how much cold water she drank, it had no effect at all.
In the end, to relieve the pain, Yan Shu could only soak in a tub filled with cold water. However, this soak not only did not relieve the burning sensation, but it actually made the poison in her body even more severe.
Only then did Yan Shu understand the profound meaning of Queen Yan's words.
If she did not take the initiative to accept the favor, she would surely be tortured to death by the Hehuan poison.
Yan Shu naturally didn't want to die.
She had just reached the age of 15, so young and beautiful, how could she die so easily?
The instinct for survival made Yan Shu struggle to sit up from the bathtub. After hastily changing her clothes, she prepared to find a man to remove the poison.
But the entrance to the Xiao Palace is strictly guarded, and no outsider is allowed to enter the harem.
There would be no outside men in the harem, so the only way to get rid of the poison at the moment was to sleep with King Xiao Wei.
That night, King Xiao Wei favored Zhao Ji from the Weiyang Palace. Even though Yan Shu resisted in every possible way, she had no choice but to rush to the peony garden that she had to pass by on her way to the Weiyang Palace.
Yan Shu was also lucky enough. The poison made her cheeks more rosy. Even though she was leaning weakly against the peony flowers, she looked like a beautiful woman lying drunkenly among the flowers.
King Xiao Wei, who was always lustful, was naturally aroused when he saw the picture of a drunken beauty. He immediately turned the sedan chair around and asked the palace servants to take Yan Shu back to his own bedroom.
Even though she was no longer conscious, Yan Shu still felt nauseous when she saw King Xiao Wei's fat and lustful face again.
She lay uncomfortably on the couch, while King Xiao Wei impatiently pulled at his belt and robe, soon revealing his white fat body, which was simply disgusting to look at.
Yan Shu closed her eyes and dared not look anymore. She felt really disgusted, but her body was tortured by the poison and was in great pain and unable to resist.
King Xiao Wei thought that the beauty was just being reserved, and while calling her "beauty" affectionately, he climbed onto the couch impatiently.
Just as he reached out to grab the belt around Yan Shu's waist, he heard a loud noise outside the hall, as if many soldiers were fighting.
Before King Xiao Wei could react, he heard a loud "bang" and the door of the Golden Palace was kicked open.
King Xiao Wei was startled by the noise and fell off the couch with his naked and fat body, shouting "Protect the emperor". After seeing who broke in, his face turned pale with fear.
The cold wind rushed in from the palace door, blowing away the heat on Yan Shu's face and making the girl, who was almost losing her mind, sober up a little, but she fell into confusion again after only a moment.
All I could hear was King Xiao Wei's intermittent screams of shock and anger, and curses like "evil creature" and "rebel".
But at this moment, Yan Shu was no longer able to think about who had broken into the golden palace of the King of Xiao State.
She felt that the burning sensation in her body was about to torture her to death.
The instinct for survival made her subconsciously look for the wind vent, but when she struggled to climb down from the bed and raised her eyes hazily, she saw through the gap in the curtains the pair of eyes of King Xiao Wei that were still open and the long sword that pierced his chest.
Yan Shu was only a sixteen-year-old girl. She had never seen such a horrifying scene. Her face immediately lost its color and turned pale.
I wanted to scream, but was afraid of being noticed, so I could only cover my mouth with my hands and let out two tears of fear.
If there is a rebellion or a palace coup, she, a mere concubine, will definitely be silenced.
Yan Shu wanted to escape, but her body had been drained of all strength and she was no longer able to struggle. She could only crawl on the ground and breathe softly. Even though she tried her best to slow down her breathing, she still couldn't avoid the ears of those in the hall.
Watching the pair of black boots approaching the bed step by step, Yan Shu clenched her palms, tears instantly blurred her eyes, and her heart was filled with despair.
Is she going to die like this?
Why is fate so harsh to her?
She had clearly tried her best to survive, so why was the ending so painful and embarrassing?
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the girl closed her eyes in despair.
With a "swish", the curtain in front of him was immediately ripped open by a sword.
The sudden brightness and coldness made Yan Shu open her eyes with difficulty.
She thought she would see a ferocious face, but unexpectedly she saw a handsome face like that of a god.
Tears welled up in Yan Shu's eyes, and he looked dazed for a moment.
The man's narrow eyes were lowered, and there was a dark and boundless indifference in his eyes, without any trace of joy or anger.
The corners of his clothes seemed to carry the slightly cool scent of pine and snow, and this scent seemed to relieve the burning sensation in Yan Shu's body a lot.
The fear in her heart turned into the instinct for survival at this moment. Yan Shu forced herself to stand up and bravely grabbed the cold corner of the clothes.
"Please... help me..."
The beauty was panting, her cheeks flushed, she felt hot, and her neck was covered with a thin layer of sweat. At this moment, a few strands of black hair stuck to her snow-white skin, making her look particularly delicate and charming.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, which was really adorable.
Yan Shu had already lost consciousness. At this moment, she only regarded the man in front of her as a piece of driftwood to survive. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and climbed up. Her soft and delicate body was like a boneless water snake, and she desperately stuck to the man's arms.
The man seemed interested, with an unknown emotion in his eyes.
He leaned forward, his slender fingers grasped the girl's small, round chin, his narrow eyes half-closed in a lazy manner.
The cold temperature of the fingertips made Yan Shu shiver uncontrollably. Her subconscious fear was no match for the torturous heat. She could only rely on instinct to press her cheek against the man's palm and rub it like a kitten.
The man's pupils seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then an unknown smile flashed across his eyes.
"Miss Yan, you are so beautiful."
