She is a princess
She has lived for twenty years, although she is not a lovely girl who wins people's hearts wherever she goes, but she can be considered as an ordinary social person with good interpersonal relationships, no complaints in the past and no enemies recently.
Apart from her, that person, as her mother, is also one of the people who understands her ability best. She not only has no feelings for her own daughter but also deliberately gets close to her father.
For her organization, she could cold-bloodedly think of ways to get close to the father and then get pregnant with her, only to hand her over to her organization for experimentation... In the end, when they found out that she wanted to escape, they deliberately let her die.
Are they still using poison after explosives? They really think highly of her! Are they worried that she won't die thoroughly?
The nameless finger released the toxic blood and sat listlessly on the shore at dawn and dusk, after all...
"Ah——"
A shrill cry flew out of her throat, Chen Xi saw the reflection in the water, a woman with fiery long hair and blue eyes... Who was she?
No, no, absolutely not her, she is a standard Chinese person, with black hair and black eyes!
He took another glance, and the reflection in the water was still Zhang Yang's fiery red hair and bright blue eyes. Her face was actually quite delicate, with a melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, a slender nose, and cherry lips...
Wow!
It's not about whether she looks good or not, but why did her face change?
She rubbed her face with water and scrubbed it hard, but after rubbing, it was still the same, didn't change back to her own face, and her hair wasn't dyed, it was natural.
Ah——
What's going on? I've been feeling anxious and uneasy in my heart lately, what's wrong with me?
She fell limply onto the grass and decided to take a nap, perhaps this was just a dream, and when she woke up, she would return to reality.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, a woman who was exactly the same as the reflection in the water appeared. She whispered to Chen Xi: "I'm leaving now, and you'll take my place from now on! I am Princess Chiyang, the highest-ranking princess of the State of Wa. Therefore, there are many people who want to harm me."
"You can just counterattack them, after all, you have great power!"
The woman gazed at her faintly, "I won't make it, this is fate, I guess. I'll never be able to escape after all. From now on, everything of mine will be left to you. In return, I'll live a good life for you in the other world."
Huh? What's going on? Replace her?
"Hey, hey - hold on, what's going on here? I'm out of this!"
"It's too late now, you've already come, and I have taken over your body. Now, I'm just leaving my heart with a lingering attachment to entrust you with a dream. Please take good care of my dear sister, she will definitely become a great empress in the future!"
Huh?
The goddess of horses, she doesn't want to be a queen, she wants a modern free society, rather than an imperial or royal society without human rights!
"Don't worry, I'll help you avenge your grudges in that world. My fate here has reached its end, and I can only trouble you to take my place and assist my sister well. Let's mutually support each other for this life and the next!"
"No, I don't want to stay here." Chen Xi suddenly sat up and wanted to hold onto that shadow, but she was too excited.
Plop...
A splash of water, and she was suddenly cooled down at dawn. Struggling to get up, she leaned on the shore, "Gosh, what a nightmare is this?"
Huh? Nightmare?
Is she awake?
After countless times of pinching her face and holding her breath to sober up her mind, she finally gave up. She fainted. Unable to accept an unpleasant thing, she had crossed over!
"Princess, are you alright?"
A jade-like face appeared before her, and she remembered that this was the gentle and handsome young man from just now. However, at this moment, she didn't have the mood to appreciate a handsome guy, and she said irritably: "Nothing, how did you get in?"
"I was worried about the princess, so I didn't go far and waited outside the door..."
"Have you been peeking at me?" Chen Xi asked, staring at him.
The handsome man smiled and shook his head, "How dare I, Your Highness is overthinking." Chen Xi climbed out of the water and shook her clothes, splashing water droplets onto the handsome man's body. The handsome man shook his head again, "Your Highness, it's better to let your maid come in and help you change quickly! The wound on your arm also needs to be treated as soon as possible."
"Okay, fine, you go call them in for me!"
The handsome man looked at her with a gentle expression, hesitating to speak, "What's wrong?"
"Princess, Huangfu young master just sent someone to deliver a message saying that military affairs are busy and it's possible he won't be able to return to the mansion to visit you for a month."
Huangfu Gongzi? Who is that?
"Alright, alright, I know! Hurry up and get me... hot water for a bath!"
"Right, the fish in the pool have been poisoned and need to be disposed of. Chen Xi hailed the handsome guy who had just stepped out, "Hey, can you do me a favor?"
The handsome man turned back and looked at her with some surprise, "Princess, if you want Jun Chen to do something, just give a direct order, no need to be polite."
So his name is Jun Chen? He looks gentle and refined, and his name isn't bad either! Chen Xiu smiled slightly, "Build a fire for me, right by the pool!"
Jun Chen did as he was told despite being puzzled. After starting the fire, he glanced at him in the morning and evening, "Those fish are all dead, why don't you help me scoop them up and roast them?"
Oh no! The handsome guy's face has a black line on it, but he still accepts his fate.
After the handsome man finished fishing, she immediately asked him to hurry up and call someone to bring her hot water. After he left, she directly roasted the fish into charcoal!
Destroy the evidence for now!
Alas, what kind of crossing doesn't even let her feel a bit comfortable.
In the morning and evening, she found that all her maids were trembling with fear, as if they were very afraid of her. She couldn't help but wonder if it was because her usual self had been too harsh on others, causing her subordinates to have a psychology of fearing their superior.
"Alright, you all go out and wait, I'll do it myself." Chen Xi tested the water temperature and sent those few maids away, she didn't like being served while bathing.
After grooming, I felt much better, and probably the toxins in this body were also cleared by her. Morning Dew herself didn't have anything particularly striking about her, but she was born with a sensitive physique that came with self-healing properties. When there were accumulated toxins in her body, her ring finger would display different colors, and putting it in water could release them, after which she would be full of energy again.
Of course, this is still not the biggest secret she has. In her soul, there is an absolute secret that no one can say, otherwise, she will definitely be used as a test subject again!
In her past life, her mother was a biologist who liked to study strange things. She was kept hidden by her grandfather and never allowed outsiders to discover the secret of her body, saying that sometimes excessive obsession with research can blind people's conscience, so it's best for her not to appear in her mother's life domain, lest she break off the only blood relationship between them...
After putting on the undergarment, Chen Xi was a bit worried. She didn't know how to wear ancient attire. Frowning, she thought for a moment and then shouted at the figure by the door: "Come in and help me get dressed!"
As expected, the maid came in and helped her put on her outer clothes very skillfully, and also responsibly wiped away the water marks from her hair and combed it neatly.
"Princess, Huangfu young master said he can't come back in time for your birthday, so should we still hold the celebration this year?"
Is it Prince Huangfu again? The handsome young man from before just mentioned him.
"Ah, I see what you mean. Morning and evening, looking at herself in the mirror with a faint smile, 'No... it's better to keep things simple.'"
In the morning and evening, she didn't have the mood to attend any banquet, but she was worried that if she showed up too differently from her usual self, it would attract other people's attention, so she simply agreed.
Were those in my dream just now real? Will this princess's soul cross over into her body?
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. After we switch bodies, I'll naturally have the ability to protect your loved ones. You can rest assured and live on in my place, I won't betray your trust."
A sudden wave of memories emerged in my mind, and a movement occurred in my heart at dawn and dusk. Is the true body still there?
"Rest assured, from now on, you are me and I am you! Help me assist my imperial sister with all your heart, and I will help protect your loved ones."
After leaving these words, Chen Xi didn't receive any response, but she believed what the woman said and hoped that she could really replace herself to protect her loved ones.
"Princess?"
At dawn and dusk, the spirit came back from the reflection in the mirror, clearly seeing the surprise color flashing in Ya Niang's eyes. Wouldn't that Prince Huangfu not come, so this princess wouldn't have a birthday?
Is it really necessary?
"Which prince does the princess want to host the banquet?"
Young master? Where did so many young masters come from? Morning and evening, she furrowed her brow, the maid thought she was going to be unhappy, and hastily said: "Why not let the third young master take charge, the third young master has a lot of experience, he will definitely make you satisfied this year."
Who is San Gongzi?
"Let Jun Chen handle it, he was just nice to me, so let him do it."
The maid looked at her in surprise, "Princess, you want Fifth Young Master to take responsibility?"
The fifth son? Is that the handsome young man ranked fifth in the imperial family? Morning and evening, shaking his head, putting aside miscellaneous thoughts, who cares, first agree then say, "Hmm, it's him!"
"But Fifth Master has never hosted a banquet before, and all he ever does is read books... I'm afraid the princess's birthday banquet will be poorly managed."
It's such a hassle, just having a birthday and eating some delicious food is enough!
No way, she has to figure out the background of these people around her first. Chen Xi glanced at the two maids in front of her and asked softly, "Who is the person I have always trusted the most?"
"Of course it's Young Master Huangfu!" The maids chorused in unison.
Is it Prince Huangfu again? Which Prince Huangfu?! After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth again, "I'm saying among my maidservants, who is the one I trust the most?"
The maids looked at each other, and after a moment, one of them spoke up with a hint of fear: "Your Highness, you've always trusted Sister Rèn Yí, but... she was locked in the woodshed two days ago for offending you."
Good grief!
Is she an evil mother-in-law?
