A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

The two went to the back garden. As they walked along, Xia Taoyuan couldn't help laughing. The flowers in the garden were all bare. It seemed that the flowers held by the maids were picked from the garden.

Xia Taoyuan sat on the swing, Chu Xingluo gently pushed her, she swung on the swing for a while, thinking that she would be the mistress of the palace in the future, it was a little incredible. In the past few months, she was still a hard-working social animal, working hard to get a salary of several thousand yuan, and after various expenses such as food and drink, there was not much money left in a month. She felt that she was a useless person, without any ideals, no fighting spirit, and a life that could be seen at a glance, without big ups and downs, and even less wealth.

She always thought that her life would be like this, but unexpectedly, fate arranged an unusual path for her.

After jumping off the swing, Xia Taoyuan took Chu Xingluo to the pavilion and sat down. He smiled and said, "Sit here for a while." Then he looked at Chu Xingluo intently.

Seeing her like this, Chu Xingluo remembered that she had said before that she wanted to hear about her childhood. He said in a deep voice, "My mother died when I was four years old."

When Xia Taoyuan heard that he was going to talk about the past, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Outsiders all thought that my mother died of illness. In fact, she was so devastated that she knocked over the candlestick. The fire spread and burned the entire Yuanfu Palace. My mother wanted to commit suicide and couldn't come out." Chu Xingluo looked gloomy. These memories were obviously very cruel to him.

Xia Taoyuan couldn't bear it. Although she wanted to know Chu Xingluo's past, she still said softly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a walk along the lake."

Chu Xingluo stood up and went to the lake with her. The two walked silently along the lake. Chu Xingluo suddenly said, "My grandfather was originally the prefect of Lingzhou. Lingzhou is more than 200 miles away from Yunjun, the capital of Beiyue. Before my father ascended the throne, he traveled around and met my mother when he passed by Lingzhou. They fell in love at first sight and wanted to marry my mother. When my mother learned that he had already married in Yunjun, she refused to marry him. But she couldn't resist my father's soft and hard persuasion and attentiveness, so my mother was finally shaken. Not long after they got married, I was born. Two years later, my father ascended the throne. Because my mother missed my grandparents, she transferred my grandfather to Yunjun City to be the prefect."

"When I was four years old, there was a small country called Dongxia on the border of North Vietnam. Although the country was small, the people were brave and the monarch was ambitious. He had always coveted our North Vietnam and wanted to nibble away at it bit by bit. At that time, General Cheng Jiao was brave and good at fighting. He was ordered to attack Dongxia. My uncle practiced martial arts with General Cheng at that time. Although they were not master and apprentice in name, they had a master-disciple relationship. When he saw General Cheng going to the battlefield, he followed General Cheng."

"This was later known to the current queen's brother Wei Qin, who also requested to go to the battlefield. Wei Qin had selfish motives. He wanted to make meritorious contributions so that his sister could have more bargaining chips and stand out from the concubines to become the queen. At that time, the other concubines either had no brothers or their brothers were civil servants. Only my uncle and Wei Qin had practiced martial arts, and in the end, they followed General Cheng to the battlefield."

"My uncle followed General Cheng Jiao to the battlefield. A few months later, General Cheng unexpectedly contracted malaria and was bedridden. The army was leaderless, and the several deputy generals lost their morale. They were caught off guard by the Dongxia Kingdom and suffered heavy casualties. My uncle fought bravely and was surrounded by them while chasing a Dongxia general. In the end, he was outnumbered and captured by the Dongxia Kingdom."

"Later, reinforcements from North Vietnam arrived, boosting morale. The generals worked together to fight a desperate battle and eventually defeated the Dongxia Kingdom. However, because General Cheng Jiao was seriously ill, the generals were anxious to return to Beijing, and no one went to look for my uncle's whereabouts. On the way back to the capital, General Cheng went to the battlefield before he had fully recovered from malaria, and his blood and qi were exhausted, and he died."

"At this time, Wei Qin became the leader of the generals because of his status as the brother of the imperial concubine. After returning to Yun County, he became the greatest contributor. For a time, he was in the limelight, but he still did not forget to add insult to injury and slandered my uncle for treason. Although General Cheng's subordinates, who knew my uncle's character, stood up to clarify, saying that General Xiao Feng's whereabouts were unknown because he was chasing the enemy, his words were not taken seriously. In addition, many people in the court at that time were accomplices of Wei Qin and his son, so my uncle was eventually charged with treason."

"No one went after your uncle at that time. Could it be that Wei Qin was responsible? And General Cheng Jiao, was he also the one who killed him?" Xia Taoyuan asked.

Chu Xingluo nodded and continued, "This is a crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of the clan, but my father was deeply in love with my mother. Although Wei Qin and his accomplices kept writing petitions to prove my uncle's treason, my father probably didn't punish him out of gratitude for the friendship he had with my uncle when he was young. My grandparents also knew that my uncle would never commit treason, but they were powerless to stop the rumors. In addition, they were worried that my uncle would be in danger if he pursued the enemy alone, so they were bedridden and eventually died one after another. My aunt was pregnant at the time, and her whereabouts are still unknown."

Xia Taoyuan got goosebumps all over his body after hearing this. The bad guys were so rampant!

"After my grandparents passed away, my mother was heartbroken, but she thought of the bloodline of the Xiao family, and in order to comfort the spirits of my grandparents and for her only brother, she made up her mind to protect my aunt and the unborn child. But when she heard the news of my aunt's disappearance, my mother couldn't bear it anymore. She felt ashamed to face my uncle and grandparents, so she chose to end her life."

Xia Taoyuan hugged Chu Xingluo with both arms. This was the tragedy of the world. It was not something that ordinary people could endure. She finally understood why Chu Xingluo always looked so cold and always seemed to have too many things on his mind. He was carrying too much.

"That Wei Qin is so bad, he will get his comeuppance." Xia Taoyuan comforted in a low voice.

"He's dead." Chu Xingluo's voice was calm, without a trace of emotion.

"He deserves it. He should be tortured to death." Xia Taoyuan said hatefully.

Chu Xingluo didn't say anything, his eyes were deep, staring at the lake. Xia Taoyuan knew he was sad, so she hugged him tightly.
