Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

It is said that Yunxi, along with Zhong Feixue and other palace maids, went through many dangers along the way and finally got the miraculous medicine and prepared to return to the palace.

However, just as they were about to walk out of the valley, a group of mysterious men in black suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

This group of men in black were obviously here for the miraculous medicine. There was a greedy gleam in their eyes, and they seemed determined to get it.

Faced with this sudden threat, Yunxi was not afraid at all. She held the sword tightly in her hand and fought side by side with the palace maids, struggling to resist the attacks of the men in black.

However, the number of men in black far exceeded their expectations. Although Yunxi and the palace maids were brave and fearless, they gradually fell into trouble. The enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, and Yunxi and the palace maids were injured to varying degrees.

At this moment, Yunxi suddenly discovered a hidden cave in the valley. She had an idea and immediately led the palace maids to hide in the cave. After entering the cave, Yunxi quickly looked around and looked for something that could be used.

Suddenly, she noticed a strange symbol on the wall of the cave. After a closer look, she found that it was a hidden mechanism! Yunxi was delighted and pressed the mechanism without hesitation. There was a roar, and a huge rock fell at the entrance of the cave, blocking the men in black outside.

Yunxi and the palace maids breathed a sigh of relief after temporarily getting rid of the crisis. But they knew that the boulder could only delay them for a while and could not guarantee long-term safety. So they continued to go deeper into the cave, hoping to find another way out.

After some exploration, Yunxi and the palace maids indeed found another passage. This passage was winding and deep, and no one knew where it led to, but it was better than sitting and waiting for death. So they walked carefully along the passage, hoping to leave this dangerous place.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yunxi and the maids finally saw a ray of light. They excitedly quickened their pace and walked towards the light. When they walked out of the passage, the view in front of them suddenly became clear - it turned out that they had left the valley and arrived in a peaceful forest.

Yunxi and the palace maids smiled at each other, feeling lucky that they had finally escaped. Although this experience had exhausted them physically and mentally, they had also learned a lot of valuable lessons from it. Next, they needed to rush back to the palace as soon as possible, report the incident to the emperor, and ensure the safe delivery of the miraculous medicine.

The forest was filled with fresh air. After Yunxi and his group took a short rest, they continued on their journey home.

Along the way, they remained vigilant, fearing that they would encounter any more danger. Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and before long, they saw the walls of the palace.

The stone in Yunxi's heart finally fell to the ground. She quickened her pace and led the palace maids back to the palace.

When the emperor learned that they had successfully retrieved the miraculous medicine and returned safely, he was very pleased and summoned them despite his sick body.

Yunxi took the opportunity to report to the emperor about Zhong Feixue's loyalty to his master.

The emperor rewarded everyone according to their merits and appointed Zhong Feixue as a female guard with a sword. The emperor was moved and said to Yunxi: "My beloved concubine has spared no effort to find a miraculous medicine for me. I am very touched..."

However, Yunxi frowned as she looked at the emperor's sick face. She was a little worried whether the miraculous medicine could really cure the emperor's illness.

"Your Majesty, let me personally prepare the medicinal herbs for you." Yunxi said to the emperor with concern.

"Thank you, my dear concubine..." the emperor said with emotion.

Yunxi took a group of palace maids to the imperial kitchen to carefully prepare the soup. She was fully focused, adding various precious medicinal materials according to the records in ancient books.

After a long wait, the medicine was finally ready. Yunxi carried the medicine bowl and carefully went to the emperor's bedroom.

After the emperor took the medicine, his face gradually turned rosy. Yunxi stayed by the emperor's side, observing his changes.

A few days later, the emperor's condition improved significantly and he was in high spirits. The whole court was jubilant and praised Yunxi's merits.

However, Yunxi felt uneasy. She knew that although the miraculous medicine was magical, it was not omnipotent. It would take time to test whether the emperor's body was truly recovered.

Behind this seemingly peaceful court, there are countless plots and calculations.

Yunxi will continue to guard the emperor and use her wisdom and courage to face future challenges...

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..." Yunxi told him about the attack by a group of men in black after she got the miraculous medicine.

After hearing this, the emperor's face, which had just regained some color, suddenly darkened. "How dare someone covet my miraculous medicine? How audacious!" The emperor slammed the table in anger, "Come here, investigate this matter immediately!"

Yunxi's heart tightened. She knew that this matter might not be that simple. Who was the mastermind behind this? Why did they want to steal the miraculous medicine? A series of questions came to her mind.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should not be made public. It would be better for me to lead people to investigate it secretly." Yunxi said hurriedly.

The emperor thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, let me leave it to you, my beloved concubine. But you must be careful and cautious, and don't alert the enemy."

Yunxi accepted the order and thanked the emperor. She understood that this investigation would be full of difficulties, but for the emperor's safety, she had to find out the truth.

After leaving Xingqing Palace, Yunxi found Zhong Feixue and told her her plan. Zhong Feixue gladly accepted the order and expressed her willingness to assist Yunxi with all her strength. In this way, the two began to investigate and collect clues. However, their opponents were very cunning and left almost no clues. This brought the investigation to a stalemate.

At this time, Yunxi unexpectedly received an anonymous letter. The words in the letter hinted that there was a shocking secret behind the miraculous medicine. Yunxi decided to follow this clue. As she got to know more about the matter, she was surprised to find a shocking fact: the mastermind behind the man in black actually had a close relationship with a powerful person in the court!

Faced with this situation, Yunxi knew that she could no longer retreat. She had to bravely uncover the conspiracy and protect the peace of the emperor and the entire imperial court. So, she continued her journey to find the truth...

At the same time, a great uproar broke out in the harem. Ever since hearing about this miraculous medicinal ingredient, the concubines in various palaces began to stir up trouble.

When they learned that Yunxi was not afraid of danger and was willing to personally obtain rare medicinal materials, they couldn't help but feel competitive. They secretly competed with each other and tried to win the emperor's favor through various means.

Yunxi has long been aware of the open and secret struggles in the harem, but she is well aware that she attracts attention because of her status, so she decides to keep a low profile and carefully avoid these disputes to avoid trouble for herself.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Although Yunxi tries his best to avoid it, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people.

One day, Yunxi was walking in the imperial garden when she heard a quarrel. She walked closer and found that two concubines were arguing over a trivial matter. Yunxi wanted to turn around and leave, not wanting to get involved in this meaningless quarrel, but one of the concubines saw her and stopped her.

"Oh, isn't this Concubine Xi? How come I meet you here by chance?" the concubine said sarcastically.

Yunxi smiled politely and replied, "I am just passing by here and have no intention of disturbing you two ladies."

Seeing this, another concubine sneered and said, "Humph, Concubine Xi is really good at talking! But, I think you came here on purpose to watch the fun, right?"

Yunxi quickly explained: "I really didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand me, ladies."

However, the two concubines did not listen to Yunxi's explanation at all and continued to mock her. Yunxi had no choice but to silently endure their insults and attacks.

At this moment, Empress Xiao happened to pass by and saw this scene. She immediately stopped the behavior of the two concubines and severely criticized them.

"As concubines, you two are so ignorant of etiquette that you keep quarreling in public. Don't you know that this will affect the harmony of the entire harem?" said the Queen Mother seriously.

The two concubines were so frightened that they dared not say a word and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes. Empress Xiao turned to look at Yunxi and said gently, "Noble Concubine Xi, I'm sorry for wronging you. I will handle this matter myself. You can go back and rest first."

Yunxi nodded gratefully, then bowed and left. She knew that although she had been rescued by Empress Xiao this time, she had been dragged into the harem dispute.

The days ahead will probably not be peaceful. She must remain vigilant at all times to remain invincible in this palace full of intrigue.
