Female-to-male: I live on farming

However, before Qin Ke could finish his road construction project, chaos broke out in the capital.

The first clue came to light when the eldest princess received a letter sent by carrier pigeon from the capital. There were only a few words in the letter - the emperor was poisoned, and the poisoner was currently unknown.

The person who could detect that His Majesty was poisoned must be someone very close to him. Yes, this secret letter was written by Concubine Rou, the most favored concubine in the harem.

Concubine Rou has been very favored in recent years, but she has never had a child. She accepted all the temptations from the Queen, Concubine Yue and others. Soon after entering the palace, she became infertile due to accidentally eating safflower.

To the Queen and others, Concubine Rou, who could never get pregnant, was no longer a threat. Moreover, she had no prominent maternal family and was all alone. Even if she was favored, what could she do?

The emperor is old, and they are no longer the simple concubines who prayed for the emperor's love when they first entered the palace. Now they have princes, and the most important thing is to compete for the supreme position.

No matter how favored Concubine Rou is now, in a few years, when her beauty is gone, she will still become a pitiful woman in the harem.

Moreover, over the years, they had not discovered that Concubine Rou had colluded with any forces outside, and she had not even used her favor to seek anything. This led to the fact that no one cared about her in the tense situation in the capital.

If you don't care, you won't pay attention.

This gave her the opportunity to send the letter out.

That's right, it was the eldest princess who originally arranged for Concubine Rou to enter the palace. She was an orphan who was accidentally rescued by the eldest princess when she went to the south of the Yangtze River. The orphan came from a scholarly family, but was framed by a treacherous villain and wrongly imprisoned, which led to the annihilation of her entire family.

She was replaced by her own daughter by the housekeeper, and that is how a trace of her bloodline was preserved.

The housekeeper adopted her, and she changed her name to Li Weirou. However, the good times did not last long. As she grew older, her appearance gradually became more ugly.

The daughter of the Li family is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and her beauty can make the moon hide and the flowers ashamed.

This word was spread out at some point, causing countless people in the city to be curious and want to take a glimpse of her appearance, which made her very annoyed. Until Yang Xiu, the son of the city governor, also asked to see her out of curiosity, he became greedy at first sight and wanted to monopolize this beauty.

However, Yang Xiu, the only son of the governor of Yangzhou, was uneducated, extravagant in character, arrogant in speech, and only knew a few words. He spent his days fighting cocks and riding horses, drinking wine today and viewing flowers tomorrow, and also gambling and visiting prostitutes.

The most important thing is that he is particularly fond of beautiful women. Relying on his father's power, he does whatever he wants in Yangzhou. No woman who he likes can escape his clutches.

Strictly speaking, Li Weirou did have the idea of ​​following him into the palace. With her scheming, it was not impossible for her to manipulate and use Yang Xiu. If she used the power of the governor's mansion, she might be able to avenge her father and mother.

But as soon as she revealed the slightest bit of this thought, she was sternly stopped by Butler Li. In the butler's mind, it didn't matter if he couldn't take revenge in his lifetime, but he absolutely could not let the only bloodline left in the master's family go into danger.

Who is Yang Xiu and what kind of person he is? Everyone in Yangzhou knows him. So, following Yang Xiu would be like walking into a wolf's den!

In the past, all women who were forced to follow Yang Xiu had a bad ending.

Ever since he knew of her thoughts, the housekeeper was afraid that she would become depressed, so he watched her very closely every day and even immediately started to deal with the family property and flee Yangzhou.

However, Yang Xiu's desire to get her was much stronger than they imagined, and he had people keep an eye on the Li Mansion at all times. Even though Butler Li managed the business covertly, they were still able to notice it.

As soon as they escaped from the city, they were immediately surrounded by them. Everyone knew that if Li Weirou was caught at this time, she would be in trouble.

So housekeeper Li and his servants risked their lives to clear a path and escort her out, but they were outnumbered after all, and in the end, the only person left behind her collapsed due to serious injuries.

But she could not shake off the people chasing her, or rather, they were not in a hurry to catch her. They followed her slowly, watching her fall and get up again and again, covered in dust and exhausted...

It's like playing a game of cat and mouse.

Just as she fell to the ground again, her knees cut by the stones and bleeding, she thought she could never escape again.

Just when she was about to accept her fate, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The sound was faint at first, but became clearer and clearer as time went on.

She looked up and saw the woman in the lead, who was dressed in silver-white military uniform. She was graceful and the brocade cloak on her shoulders fluttered in the wind. It was not until she pulled the reins and stopped in front of her that she could see her sharp eyebrows and eyes, with her innate aristocratic temperament.

She thought she would never forget the scene when she first saw Jinyang.

She was like a goddess descending from the sky, landing in front of the shabby girl. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her pupils were as sharp as arrows. Just a glance was enough to scare those who were chasing her so much that they hesitated and dared not move forward.

Then he turned over and dismounted, bending slightly.

Those hands not only lifted her up and saved her from the fire, but also completely changed her destiny.

Not only did she help her deal with the people sent by Yang Xiu, she also helped bury the housekeeper and his group who died for her.

When she learned that the one who saved her was the famous Princess who had led hundreds of thousands of troops to expel foreign invaders, her first reaction was "as expected".

This is what Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is famous throughout the world for her extraordinary talent, deserves.

After hearing about her story, the princess took her in and gave her a place to stay, but this was because Yang Xiu's father was Yang Pingshan, the governor of Yangzhou, and was also a man of the seventh prince Zhao Yu.

Even the eldest princess couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

Li Weirou was not the kind of person who would harbor resentment because of a favor. Only when she disguised herself and followed the eldest princess back to the capital did she deeply feel how difficult the eldest princess's situation was. How could she feel resentful because she could not help her?

Her revenge and the grudges of her parents should be avenged by herself.

Until that year, the eldest princess led her army to war, but the army's food and fodder were delayed, and she was almost imprisoned.

She knew that she could not go on like this, hiding in the princess's mansion and keeping her identity unknown. She also wanted to repay her, so with this thought in mind, she started her plan.

She knew her strengths and what she should do to get the emperor's attention.

She knew that the emperor would go to Wang'an Temple in the capital to pray for blessings in early spring every year, so she fasted in the temple in advance and created a carefully prepared encounter.

Sure enough, the emperor was attracted by her beauty as soon as he saw her, and his eyes stayed on her the whole time. When he was about to take a step forward, he suddenly turned and left.
