Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Last night, the emperor lay alone in his bedroom, but he could not sleep all night.

For a long time, due to the poisoning, he had been having trouble sleeping. He was either constantly troubled by nightmares or running and escaping frantically in his dreams.

Originally, the emperor lay down with a heart full of fatigue, hoping to find a little peace in the darkness.

However, when he closed his eyes, the thrilling scene in the Queen's Palace that year flooded into his mind like a surging tide and could not be shaken off.

That chaotic side hall was still clearly imprinted in his memory.

Concubine Xie had empty eyes, her clothes were in disarray, and she knelt on the ground in despair.

Next to her, lay the body of a palace guard that was no longer recognizable as a human being and had long since died.

In order to frame Concubine Xie, the Jiang family was so careless that they did not carefully select the people they used. They just picked anyone at random and accused him of having an affair with a concubine and hacked him to death.

Right in that side hall, in front of Concubine Xie, he chopped her off with his sword, one by one, in an extremely cruel manner.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the entire side hall was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Even the face of Concubine Xie, who was kneeling beside her, was covered in splattered blood.

The only thing that was extremely clear was the face of the person who was hacked to death, with his eyes open, as if carrying endless injustice and resentment.

Suddenly, the face floated before the emperor's eyes like a ghost, very close.

The emperor jerked awake in horror, veins bulging on his sweaty forehead.

His heart was filled with anger and hatred, hating the Jiang family's viciousness and cruelty.

The Jiang family still doesn't know where their loophole is. They think their plan is flawless, but they don't understand why the emperor always believes in Concubine Xie's innocence.

How can I not believe it?

That person was personally selected by the emperor from among a group of female secret guards. In order not to attract attention, if the person was not examined, no one could tell that she was a woman.

Whether in terms of height or body shape, she even has the Adam's apple that a man should have.

Let her serve as a guard in Zhongcui Palace to protect Concubine Xie closely.

The person they kept saying had an affair with Concubine Xie turned out to be a woman!

Endless regret and self-blame surged in the emperor's heart.

He hated himself for not being able to save his beloved woman, and was forced to leave the palace to pray and be sent to that remote nunnery, which gave the Jiang family the opportunity to strike again.

How pathetic I was at that time...

"Will Yuanyuan hate me?"

The emperor slowly closed his eyes, a tear slid down from the outer corner of his eye and quietly seeped into his hair.

His heart was filled with pain and guilt, and his longing for Concubine Xie was like a vine entwined around his heart.

His hands were clenched into fists under the brocade quilt. He was no longer the monarch who was trembling with fear and treading on thin ice when he first ascended the throne.

He has gone through countless hardships in the past ten years and has become more resolute and decisive.

However, when faced with this painful memory, he still couldn't let it go.

When he suddenly opened his eyes, the emperor's eyes were obviously bloodshot and his murderous intent was even more obvious.

The night owl on the rooftop swooped down, with a hint of worry in his eyes, but his voice was still cold and solemn: "Master! The poison has not been resolved yet."

The emperor suddenly closed his eyes again and breathed deeply, like a fish that was extremely dehydrated.

He knew that he couldn't be swayed by his emotions and that there were many things he needed to deal with.

The breathing gradually becomes steady until it becomes even and long.

The night owl then disappeared again.

After the night owl left, the emperor opened his eyes again.

He glanced in the direction where the Night Owl disappeared, thinking secretly in his heart.

These trump cards of mine...

If anything happens to him, he will hand them over to Sheng'er.

Thinking of the news about his daughter, the emperor imagined what his daughter looked like in his mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The emperor slowly closed his eyes and finally fell asleep.

Tomorrow, we'll see you tomorrow...

Not urgent……

Yan family.

After Eunuch Lai Fu finished reading the imperial edict, Yan Nansheng quietly followed his mother Xie Xiyuan and walked towards the side hall.

Eunuch Lai Fu followed his two masters with an excited look on his face; his feelings were beyond words.

Over the years, he had always heard various rumors about the princess from the emperor, but had never actually seen her in person.

Now, Her Royal Highness the Princess was standing in front of him alive, how could he not be extremely excited.

Along the way, Eunuch Lai Fu raised his head from time to time and secretly glanced at Yan Nansheng.

Yan Nansheng naturally knew that Lai Fu was looking at her. Although she didn't have eyes behind her head, how could she not feel the burning gaze of Lai Fu, as if he was staring through the back of her head?

However, she pretended nothing had happened and followed her mother quietly and obediently.

She knew that at this time, keeping a low profile and calm was the best option.

After entering the side hall, Xie Xiyuan sat dignifiedly in the main seat.

She has a strong aura, and people can feel the majesty of a high-ranking concubine at a glance.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Lai Fu immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "Your servant pays respect to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health."

Xie Xiyuan's expression was not kind. She said coldly, "Wanfu Jinan? Master Laifu, do you know that if it weren't for the protection of the Yan family, I would have died long ago! Died on the way to the nunnery! One body, two lives!"

Yan Nansheng was a little surprised. She had never seen her mother speak so harshly.

In her impression, her mother has always been gentle, considerate, and smiling. Even after she recovered her memory, she remained calm and indifferent.

Now, her mother's red eyes and furrowed brows made her feel the anger and grievance in her mother's heart.

Eunuch Lai Fu just lay on the ground, trembling and calling out: "Madam..."

He knew that the queen had suffered a lot over the years, and he felt sorry for her.

However, as the chief eunuch beside the emperor, he also witnessed with his own eyes the torture the emperor suffered for this.

Xie Xiyuan slowly closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and then said, "He almost lost his only daughter. Doesn't he hate it?"

Eunuch Lai Fu hurriedly got up from the ground, ran to the door and looked around.

After confirming that no one was around, he came back and knelt down, saying nervously, "My queen, please be careful with your words..."

Eunuch Lai Fu was the chief eunuch beside the emperor. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the emperor's most trusted person.

From his attitude, Xie Xiyuan could guess the emperor's attitude.

Seeing that Eunuch Lai Fu had lowered his status so much, completely humbled himself to the dust, Xie Xiyuan sighed silently in her heart.

She knew that she couldn't continue to vent her emotions, otherwise it might bring unnecessary trouble to the Yan family and herself.

So, she put away all her temptations and regained a little of her former cute look.

"When did he tell us to return to the palace?" Xie Xiyuan asked.

"In reply to Your Majesty, the Emperor said that if you want to return, just send him a message and he will come to take you back to the palace in person!" Eunuch Lai Fu said, raising the jade pendant in his hand above his head.
