Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

The maid knelt down in panic and reported: "Your Majesty, the little prince and princess are crying and their bodies are hot!" When Concubine Zhu heard the news, her face turned pale and she stood up in panic. Her heart suddenly tightened and she felt panic. She hurriedly asked: "How could this happen? Go and call the imperial physician!" Her voice was full of anxiety and worry.

Yunxi remained calm and thought about the solution quickly. She suggested, "Sister, don't worry, let's go see the little prince." So Concubine Zhu led everyone to the room of the little prince and the little princess.

After entering the room, Concubine Zhu was distressed to see the two children with red faces and crying. Yunxi comforted them, "Don't worry, sister, the doctor will be here soon."

Soon, the imperial physician arrived. He carefully examined the symptoms of the little prince and his sister, and then reported to Concubine Zhu: "The little prince and the little princess have caught a cold, and they need to be carefully nursed back to health for a period of time." After hearing this, Concubine Zhu asked anxiously: "How long will it take for them to recover?" The imperial physician replied: "As long as you take good care of them, they will be cured in less than half a month."

Concubine Zhu frowned and looked at the two children worriedly. Yunxi saw her worry and offered to help take care of the little prince. She said, "Sister, I can help you take care of the little prince and the little princess and help them recover as soon as possible." Concubine Zhu nodded gratefully, tears flashing in her eyes.

In the following days, Yunxi took good care of the little prince and princess. She fed them medicine and wiped their bodies on time, and personally cooked nutritious food for them. After a few days of hard work, the two little guys' conditions gradually improved and smiles appeared on their faces.

When Concubine Zhu saw this, she was filled with relief. However, just when everyone thought everything was going well, the condition of the little prince suddenly worsened. He had a high fever again, his breathing was rapid, and his life was in danger.

Concubine Zhu was extremely worried. She hugged the little prince tightly and burst into tears. Yunxi was also worried. She thought to herself, could it be that someone deliberately poisoned him? She decided to investigate the matter secretly and find out who was behind it.

Yunxi began to pay attention to everyone around the little prince, including palace maids, eunuchs and other concubines. She found that a palace maid had been behaving abnormally recently and often secretly poisoned the little prince's food. Yunxi quietly collected evidence and told Concubine Zhu about it.

Concubine Zhu was furious and immediately ordered her people to arrest the maid and interrogate her in person: "How dare you, you lowly maid, poison the prince? Tell me, who sent you?"

Concubine Zhu was so angry that she pointed at the maid's nose and asked viciously: "Did the Queen or other concubines instruct you to do this?"

The maid had a calm face. Facing the imperial concubine's questioning, she showed no fear at all, and even said with a hint of provocation: "No one instructed me, I did all this by myself. I was just jealous of your favor, so I poisoned the prince. Now that you have caught me, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

Hearing this, Yunxi couldn't help but take a closer look at the maid in front of her. She was indeed very beautiful, with a face as delicate as a flower. Even wearing simple maid clothing, it was difficult to hide her graceful figure. Looking at her face, it seemed familiar. After thinking carefully, Yunxi remembered that she was one of the women who participated in the selection with herself and Concubine Zhu, but she was not selected in the end and voluntarily stayed in the palace to become a maid.

"I have no grudge against you, why did you want to harm my child?" Concubine Zhu was so angry that she was shaking all over, with flames of anger flashing in her eyes.

The palace maid sneered and responded, "Your Majesty, you are such a forgetful person! Have you forgotten who I am so quickly?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhu looked at the woman carefully. At this moment, she also recognized her, "It's you, Chen Lianzhi." "I didn't expect you to be so cruel!" Concubine Zhu said gritting her teeth.

Chen Lianzhi's face became distorted, and she glared at Concubine Zhu fiercely, her eyes full of jealousy and unwillingness.

"Hmph, I just can't accept this. Why can you enjoy wealth and glory while I can only be a humble palace maid!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if it could pierce the air.

Concubine Zhu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She glared at Chen Lianzhi and said with trembling lips: "You vicious woman, how dare you do such a cruel thing! Not only will you harm yourself, but you will also bring harm to your family!"

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the emperor hurried over. When he learned what had happened, he was furious. He pointed at Chen Lianzhi angrily and shouted, "You daring slave, how dare you kill my prince! Someone, take her away and send her to the palace, so that she can have a taste of what it feels like to do the heaviest work!"

As Chen Lianzhi was taken away, the truth finally came to light. The little prince's condition gradually stabilized. Concubine Zhu looked at Yunxi gratefully, her eyes full of relief and gratitude. From this moment on, the relationship between the two became closer.

However, Yunxi's heart is always shrouded in a shadow. She knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg in the harem struggle, and there is still a long way to go in the future, and this struggle is much more complicated than they imagined...

During her days in the palace, Chen Lianzhi suffered all kinds of torture, scrubbing the dirtiest chamber pots, which filled her heart with resentment. She vowed to take revenge on Concubine Zhu and Yunxi, and let them also feel the pain.

One day, a maid in the palace sneaked out when the guards were not paying attention. This maid was Chen Lianzhi, who had been demoted to the palace for making a mistake and had been living a hard life, with a lot of resentment in her heart.

Chen Lianzhi quietly came to Princess Xiangcheng's Yongle Palace. After finding Princess Xiangcheng, she said to her directly: "Princess, I know that you have always disliked Concubine Xi and Concubine Zhu. How about we make an exchange?"

Princess Xiangcheng was intrigued when she heard this and asked curiously, "Oh? How do you exchange them?"

Chen Lianzhi's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and she lowered her voice and said, "Before, I got into trouble because of them, and was locked up in the palace to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. Now, I have sneaked out, so you have to make sure I don't have to go back to the palace to do rough work. I will help you find a way to deal with them..."

Princess Xiangcheng's heart moved, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, it's settled. You will stay with me from now on! I'll tell the Queen Mother later."

Soon after, a series of bizarre events occurred in the palace. First, Concubine Zhu's pet cat disappeared inexplicably, and then Yunxi's room was also destroyed. Concubine Zhu and Yunxi began to realize that this might be a conspiracy against them.

Yunxi frowned and asked in confusion: "Who did this?"

Concubine Zhu gnashed her teeth and said, "Someone must be trying to frame us!"

The two began to investigate the matter, but they never found any conclusive evidence. At the same time, Chen Lianzhi was secretly laughing, her plan was being realized step by step.

Yunxi and Concubine Zhu decided to jointly investigate the matter and find out who was behind it. In the process of searching for clues, they found some strange traces that seemed to point to Chen Lianzhi. But Chen Lianzhi had already disappeared...
