Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time, Princess Xiangcheng was arrogantly saying that if she were not a girl, the throne might be hers. Suddenly, a voice came from behind the screen: "You are so ambitious!"

As soon as the voice fell, a person slowly walked out from behind the screen. Everyone looked closely and found that it was the current emperor.

Princess Xiangcheng's face turned pale as paper in an instant, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her lips trembled, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty, how…how could it be you?"

The emperor looked at Princess Xiangcheng with displeasure and asked in a cold tone, "Sister, why can't it be me?"

Princess Xiangcheng knelt down and kowtowed, saying in horror: "Your Majesty, please forgive my sister. I was just confused for a moment and spoke nonsense. Please don't take it to heart..."

The emperor looked at Princess Xiangcheng sharply and sneered, "You're talking nonsense? Do you think I don't know what you're planning?"

Princess Xiangcheng trembled all over and dared not look up. "I have always been tolerant of you because you are my sister. But you should not be so presumptuous and try to covet the throne." The emperor said sternly.

Princess Xiangcheng lowered her head, her eyes filled with fear and regret, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please forgive me..."

The emperor looked at Princess Xiangcheng with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "I didn't want to punish you severely, but your behavior has seriously violated the dignity of the royal family." He paused and continued, "From today on, you will be confined to your own palace. You are not allowed to move around without my permission. I hope you can reflect on your mistakes." After speaking, the emperor looked at everyone present.

Princess Xiangcheng sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face, filled with regret.

Princess Xiangcheng kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please have mercy on me!"

The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's forget it this time. But if there is a next time, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between siblings. You can take care of yourself." After saying that, the emperor turned and left.

Princess Xiangcheng heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. She was secretly glad in her heart, but she also knew that she could never take risks again.

After the emperor left, Princess Xiangcheng slowly got up from the ground, her face full of anger and unwillingness. She stared at Yunxi fiercely and said, "Noble Concubine Xi, just wait and see..." After that, she left in a mighty manner with the palace maids and eunuchs and returned to the bedroom.

After returning to the palace, Princess Xiangcheng was furious with her servants: "It was you dogs who came up with such bad ideas! Now, I am under house arrest by the emperor!" She vented all her anger on the palace maids around her.

The palace maids turned pale with fear and knelt down to beg for mercy. However, Princess Xiangcheng had no mercy at all and continued to insult them.

Princess Xiangcheng realized her current predicament, and her heart was filled with helplessness and sighs. She knew that this conflict with Yunxi had put her in a passive situation.

Finally, Princess Xiangcheng waved her hand and said tiredly, "Forget it, forget it. Let's all go down."

In the following days, Princess Xiangcheng could only live a secluded life in the palace, and every day felt like a year. Her hatred for Yunxi deepened, but she could not find a suitable opportunity to take revenge.

On this day, Princess Xiangcheng was strolling in front of her palace, still thinking about how to deal with Yunxi, but she didn't expect that a group of palace servants suddenly appeared in front of her, surrounding a woman. She looked closely and found that the woman was Yunxi!

Princess Xiangcheng was immediately furious and blocked Yunxi's way.

"Hey, isn't this Concubine Xi? Why don't you greet me when you see me?" Princess Xiangcheng said sarcastically.

Yunxi smiled slightly and bowed lightly, "Greetings to Princess Xiangcheng."

"Hmph!" Princess Xiangcheng snorted coldly, "You seem quite proud of yourself! Don't think that you can act arrogantly just because the emperor favors you!"

Yunxi's smile remained unchanged, and her tone was gentle, "Princess, you are joking. I am just doing my best to serve the emperor."

"With all my heart?" Princess Xiangcheng showed a trace of disdain and contempt on her face, and said in a sharp and sarcastic voice: "I think you have other intentions! You vixen, you have deceived the emperor and caused me to be placed under house arrest!"

Yunxi was startled, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She straightened up and said in a firm and calm tone: "Princess, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can explain it to the emperor. Why embarrass me here?"

Princess Xiangcheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stared at Yunxi with gnashing teeth, her eyes full of resentment and unwillingness. However, she knew that it was not appropriate to act impulsively at this time, so as not to anger the emperor again. So, she suppressed her anger, glared at Yunxi fiercely, and turned around and left angrily with the palace maids.

Yunxi stood quietly, watching Princess Xiangcheng leave. Her eyes revealed a hint of confidence and indifference, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. She knew in her heart that Princess Xiangcheng was no longer a threat. From now on, the princess's status in the palace would plummet, and her life would probably not be easy.

Yunxi sighed softly as she watched Princess Xiangcheng walk away. She knew that in this palace, the struggle would never end. The conflict with Princess Xiangcheng was just the beginning, and there would be more challenges waiting for her in the future.

Back in the palace, Yunxi pondered for a long time. She decided to be more cautious and not let others catch her. At the same time, she secretly vowed to protect herself and the prince.

A few days later, late at night, when everything was quiet, Yunxi was getting ready to go to bed. Suddenly, she heard a series of noisy noises outside, waking her up from her sleep. Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she quickly got out of bed, put on her clothes and went to check what was going on.

When she reached the door, she saw several palace maids running towards her in a panic, their faces full of fear. One of the palace maids panted and said, "My queen, something terrible has happened! Princess Xiangcheng has suddenly fallen ill, and her life is hanging by a thread!"

Yunxi's heart was shocked. Although she and Princess Xiangcheng had always been on bad terms, Princess Xiangcheng was of royal blood after all, and her safety was of vital importance. So Yunxi said without hesitation, "Go and have a look!" After that, she did not have time to fix her makeup, and hurriedly followed the palace maids to Princess Xiangcheng's bedroom.

When they arrived at Princess Xiangcheng's bedroom, it was already in chaos. The imperial doctors were gathered around Princess Xiangcheng's bed, all of them helpless; while the emperor was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth beside the bed, his face full of anxiety.

Yunxi carefully observed Princess Xiangcheng's condition and gradually had some clues in her mind. She took a deep breath, then slowly walked to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so bold. I have a way that may help save Princess Xiangcheng."
