"Ye Wanxi, how dare you plot against this king? You have the guts to scheme but not the courage to face the consequences, hmm?"

Ye Wanxi, in a daze, heard a stranger's roar like thunder, her head buzzing.

I struggled to open my eyes, barely able to see a man glaring at me with fury, as if I'd borrowed money and refused to repay it.

"Who are you?"

"Hmph, you still have the face to ask who I am? After plotting for so long, today you finally get your wish fulfilled. Do you think that from now on, you will be securely seated as the Princess of Chu? Humph, don't even dream about it."

Yè Wǎnxī listened to the voice, and at the same time, her eyes looked around.

An ancient-style house, inside with various antique-like furniture.

Red plum blossoms, hibiscus warming the bed. Mandarin ducks pillowed against each other, crowned with auspicious headwear and robes...

Oh, where is this place?

Turning his gaze back to the man with flowing hair before him, he met his eyes that were bloodshot from anger. In the candlelight, one could see the veins throbbing on his forehead. His teeth bared in a menacing grin, he looked like a vengeful spirit from ancient times come to collect souls.

"Ah..." A ghostly shriek echoed through the room, followed by an eerie silence.

……

Ye Wanxi was dazed and confused here, feeling like she was dreaming. She didn't know when she fainted.

When he awoke again, the sky was already bright. His mind was filled with many memories that didn't belong to him.

I have traveled through time, this is a world that does not exist in history.

At this time, the status of children was not as humble as in later generations' memory. They could engage in commerce, gain opportunities in the court through their talents, and even go to war.

If your in-laws are not good to you, you can still apply for divorce. Of course, the people who truly get divorced are very few.

This is Ye Wanxi, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Liang's family. And yesterday she married Li Yejing, who is the son of a concubine who passed away three years ago.

When he came of age, he was enfeoffed as the King of Chu with the style name "Yi", A man of both talent and beauty, he instantly became the most sought-after person in the imperial court.

The two's marriage was arranged since childhood because Ye Wanxi's mother saved King Chu Li Yejing's biological mother ten years ago. It was a life for a life, so this marriage was arranged.

Ye Wanxi is a vain and foolish woman with no brains. Relying on her engagement to Li Yejing, she has constantly harassed him since childhood, making a fool of herself and bringing shame upon both the royal family and the Ye family.

Fortunately, the Noble Consort always remembered Ye Wanxi's mother's life-saving grace. Even as she neared death, she still kept this marriage in mind.

Upon remembering the dying words of his beloved consort, Li Yejing's filial period ended and he immediately allowed them to be together.

Li Yejing had long ago made a bold statement, absolutely not letting the one guarding the title of Chu Princess live as a widow for her whole life, becoming the biggest joke in the world.

The original owner was worried about this, it didn't matter if people laughed at him, the key was that he couldn't consummate the marriage and therefore couldn't have a child. He especially wanted to have a child with Li Yejing.

However, last night that scoundrel Li Yejing, was designed by someone and lost control of himself. He even blamed the scheme, what a dog!

No, you can't take the blame for this one.

Ye Wanxi endured the discomfort and dismissed her maidservant.

"Tweet."

Nobody replied.

"Tweet?"

At this moment, the door creaked open and two unfamiliar maids walked in.

Ye Wanxi's face sank. "Where is my maidservant, Bi Que?"

Two maids shook their heads.

Ye Wanxi took a deep breath and impatiently said, "Forget it, just bring me a clean set of clothes."

Ye Wanxi had just changed into clean clothes and stepped out when she was surrounded by Li Yejing's confidant, Lan Wei, and a group of men.

Seeing this, the board put on a stern face and snorted coldly: "Lan Wei, what do you mean? Could it be that you brought so many people here to take from this princess?"

Lan Wei Mian bowed his head and clasped his hands together. "By His Royal Highness's order, I am to escort the Princess to a safe place. Princess, please come with me."

Ye Wanxi was astonished. Such dialogue sounded like a loyal underling of a mafia boss carrying out an execution!

"I'm not going." Without a second thought, I immediately grabbed hold of the beam under the eaves, treating it like a sturdy life preserver.

"Where is Li Yejing? I want to see Li Yejing."

Lan Wei replied coldly, "Your Highness has already received an order to go out this morning and cannot be seen. Your Majesty, I apologize."

Lán Wèi struggled in vain, but he was pulled down from the pillar nonetheless. He was taken away bundled up in his ropes.

……

Four years later.

Lan Wei, leading a black horse, looked at the child in front of him with surprise.

She was wrapped in a cloak, wearing a straw hat and holding an umbrella. In her hand, she also held a hoe. She looked like a farmhand working the land. Is this really the Princess of Chu?

"Lan Wei?" Zi exclaimed, his face equally shocked. "How are you here? Didn't you go to the border with your lord Wang to fight in the war?"

Lan Wei's heart skipped a beat, confirming that the person before him was truly the Princess.

Oh, poor thing.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Isn't it good enough to be content and keep to oneself? Why must one yearn for things that don't belong to them?

Look, even the well-behaved Miss Ye and the Princess of Chu can't do it properly. And look at how she's made herself so disheveled.

"Your Highness, I'm so sorry."

Seeing the look of grief on his face, like someone who had lost a dear one, Ye Wanxi pondered the deeper meaning behind those words.

When someone usually sacrifices, what comrades say to the wife is 'Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, your husband... has died a heroic death.'

Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up. She had heard that King Chu was eager for quick results and acted rashly. When chasing the enemy, he fell into their trap and was captured. Therefore, urgent reports were sent to the capital one after another. Many people speculated that he might not be able to return alive. Could it be true?

Could it be that the man is dead?

If that were the case, then I could inherit his property with my son.

At this time, Lan Wei took out a scroll.

Ye Wanxi secretly thought, this thing must be the front-line battle report, writing about that man's death news.

Words cannot express how excited I feel. At this moment, I think that we should...

"Oh, my Lord, how am I to live?"

"Since the Lord's departure, my concubine has endured four long years in this cold and desolate dwelling. Yet I never expected...to wait for...ahhhhh..."

Lan Wei held the divorce letter written by his lord, seeing him weep so miserably, he felt a pang of sympathy.

But the prince's orders are not to be disobeyed, besides, getting to this point was entirely self-inflicted.

The Wang Ye gave a letter of separation, not a divorce decree. He has already been merciful enough.

"Your Highness, please don't be sad. From now on, you will be alone. Although it may be lonely, it's better to live than to die. You still have to live your life."

Before Lan Wei could finish his words, a young boy ran up from the front, with a stiff expression on his face.

The boy ran and shouted, "Mother, look, I caught a fish! Shall we have fish soup for dinner tonight?"

As soon as the boy called out "Princess Mother," Lan Wei was about to speak, but her words caught in her throat.

"Where..." Where did this child come from?

Only to see the child before him, holding onto someone's arm, wearing a small raincoat, and carrying a fish in his hand. This outfit was just like that of the princess.

Lan Wei was surprised and said, "Your Highness, who is this child?"

Ye Wanxi hugged the child and adjusted his little face for Lan Wei to see. "Of course, it's your Royal Highness's seed! Look at this little face, doesn't it look just like your Royal Highness?" top: 94257step on: 8138
