Chapter 588: Palace Fights Are All Scheming

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen just came over and said that the Emperor is still meeting with several others in the Qinzheng Palace. I'm afraid he won't be here until the 11:00 PM. Please have dinner first, Your Majesty.

I will go to the imperial kitchen and serve you food. Is there anything your Majesty would like to eat? I will ask the kitchen staff to prepare it."

As soon as he arrived, a crisp voice rang in his ears, and Xiao Yun looked in the direction of the voice.

It was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a pink cross-collared cotton dress and having two buns. She stood two meters away from her with her hands hanging down, her eyebrows lowered and not looking at her, but Xiao Yun could clearly feel that she had no respect for her current body.

Xiao Yun quickly scanned the place where he was. It was a palace with a high roof, carved beams and painted pillars. The furniture was all made of sandalwood, which looked heavy. However, the decorations were a bit lackluster, mostly some ordinary porcelain and bronze items.

You know, she had seen the ornaments and utensils in the palace. They were all exquisite and magnificent. Even the fruit trays and snack boxes were inlaid with gold wire and mother-of-pearl. But she didn't have any of that here. Not to mention, even the only eye-catching incense burner on the table was gilded, and the fragrance it emitted was not so pleasant.

Xiao Yun's eyes turned cold, and he said to the woman in front of him calmly: "Since the emperor is not coming to eat, then it's fine. Go down and prepare."

The palace maid saluted and responded, then backed out of the bedroom.

After everyone left, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the incense burner, then his spiritual sense went towards the burning incense and directly extinguished the incense inside.

Then he glanced at the window on the left, only to see it open silently by itself, and a cool breeze blew in immediately.

Not to mention that Xiao Yun had sharp senses, she was already good at medicine, so she realized there was something wrong with the incense just by smelling it.

It contains a mixture of spices that can make people irritable and restless. Smelling it in the short term will make people excited, but in the long term will make people irritable and angry, just like she wants to overturn the table now.

If it weren't for the powerful spiritual sense that suppressed it instantly, he would have cursed the palace maid.

After the fragrance gradually dissipated and the body's spirit became clear, Xiao Yun began to receive the memories of his original body.

This is the Qi Kingdom. It is now the 93rd year of the Dali Dynasty, less than a hundred years after its establishment. The current emperor is the third Chu Mingyi, and the reign is Yongkang.

This body belongs to Chu Mingyi's concubine. Her grandfather is Xiao Qingshan, a veteran who revolted with the first emperor of Dali, Chu Xiong. Because of his bravery and fighting skills, he made great contributions. After Chu Xiong ascended the throne, he made him the Duke of Zhenguo, a title that could be inherited for three generations.

The original body's father was Xiao Qingshan's eldest son, the current Duke of Zhenguo Xiao Dingyuan. She was the youngest legitimate daughter born when Xiao Dingyuan was 45 years old.

With her family background, she could have married into the family of a prince or a general as a clan wife, but instead she was married to Chu Mingyi, who was then the crown prince, as a concubine by an imperial decree. She and Qiao Wan, the daughter of the crown prince and prime minister, were successively welcomed into the Eastern Palace.

But the original person was unhappy. Although it sounded nice to call her a concubine, there was still an extra word "side" in it. Not only was there a principal wife above her, but she also had to pay her respects to a bunch of people every day.

Unexpectedly, the prince was very nice to her, even doting on her. He spent almost half of his time with her.

The Crown Princess did not cause trouble either. Although she came from a family of military generals, her mother brought her up as a lady from a noble family. Not only was she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was also well-versed in classics, history, and literature. As a result, she had a lot in common with the Crown Prince, and the two of them would come to visit each other from time to time, and their married life was quite harmonious.

Soon, she and the Crown Princess became pregnant one after another. Ten months later, the Crown Princess gave birth to a daughter, and the original body gave birth to a son. As the emperor's first grandson, he was the focus of everyone's attention, so the full moon banquet had to be held in a grand manner.

Unexpectedly, at this festive banquet, the remnants of the previous dynasty came to assassinate. Although the assassins were eventually killed, the emperor was shot by a poisoned arrow. The poison killed him instantly, and he died without leaving any last words.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, so the prince was quickly pushed to the throne by civil and military officials, because the national mourning and enthronement ceremonies were all kept simple.

I don't know if it was because of the emperor's death that the original body was taken out on, but after entering the palace, she was only given the title of concubine, without even a title. Her son was taken to the empress dowager to be raised when he was less than one year old, because she had a bad temper and was capricious.

The original body did not think that the death of the late emperor had anything to do with himself. Although he had some complaints about his position, he would not take his anger out on his son. Combined with the incense just now, he knew that someone had done it on purpose.

The original mother certainly did not want her son to be taken away, so she pleaded with the emperor and promised to control her temper. However, Emperor Yongkang seemed to have become a different person. He no longer had any of the tenderness he had before and rejected her very coldly.

The people in the palace were all shrewd and very good at reading people's expressions. After this, the original body's treatment in the palace took a sharp turn for the worse.

But because of the Duke of Zhenguo, it was still acceptable on the surface. For example, if they took the child away, they would find a reason. If there was no meat in the meal, they would say that the original owner was cultivating his body and mind and needed to eat light food, etc.

Even the emperor and the empress dowager did not dare to do anything to the original body and only dared to use these cold violence.

Crown Princess Qiao Wan became the queen naturally, and her treatment of her original body did not change. She was still as gentle and generous as before, and did not do anything to take advantage of her misfortune.

Therefore, the original body was only saddened by the emperor's ruthlessness and missed his children every day.

She thought that since he was her only grandson, the Queen Mother would be able to protect the child no matter what. So even if she didn't raise him by her side, she didn't worry too much. She just tried to pay her respects to the Queen Mother every day. Even if the Queen Mother didn't see her seven or eight times out of ten, she would be satisfied if she could see her twice and see the child by the way.

I didn't expect that such a humble wish would be wiped out so quickly.

The border was suddenly in danger, so the Duke of Zhenguo led his two sons to lead the troops to fight. Unexpectedly, the Man Kingdom and the Lie Kingdom actually joined forces. The side did not receive the news and was caught off guard. The Duke of Zhenguo and his eldest and second sons all died for their country!

Because the third generation had only three granddaughters but no grandsons, the only male left in the Duke's Mansion was a concubine's son, Xiao Yufeng, who had a leg disease. The Duke's wife fell ill due to excessive grief and passed away not long after.

Although Emperor Yongkang allowed Xiao Yufeng to inherit the title of Duke, everyone could see that the Duke's Mansion had fallen into decline.

As a result, her life in the palace became increasingly difficult, and even the palace maids and eunuchs became increasingly indifferent to her.

Emperor Yongkang used to pretend to come and sit with the emperor, but later he stopped pretending and simply stopped coming.

There was no way the original person could even think about seeing her son, as the Queen Mother expressly forbade her from going and made her copy scriptures and pray for her deceased family members in her own palace, which was tantamount to putting her under house arrest in disguise.

The original body was very desperate, thinking that she would never be able to see her son again. At this moment, Queen Qiao Wan actually brought her son to see her.

The original body was very grateful to Qiao Wan for this, but she didn't expect that it would be the last time she saw her son.
