Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

After returning to the Meng residence, Feng Xi walked gently to Meng Tian and said softly, "Brother, I will be entering the palace in three days. You need to go and greet Princess Tuan tomorrow. I would like to ask His Majesty to send someone else to meet her. In the next few days, I hope you will take the trouble to help me prepare my dowry."

Meng Tian nodded slightly in agreement. He knew full well that the only remaining daughter of the Meng family was also his only biological sister. He understood that his sister's decision to enter the palace was largely motivated by concern for her family and herself. Therefore, he secretly resolved to do his utmost to provide a generous dowry for his sister and never let her suffer the slightest injustice in the inner palace.

Furthermore, Meng Tian felt the need to carefully scrutinize the maids and nurses who would accompany his sister into the palace. After all, the palace was full of treacherous minds and constant strife. If he wasn't careful, his sister could be targeted. He had to ensure that these attendants were loyal and dedicated, capable of protecting his sister.

Moreover, my sister's arrival in the palace this time was of immense significance. It meant that the Meng family would no longer explicitly support a particular prince, but would instead single-handedly support their sister. If my sister were fortunate enough to give birth to a son, the Meng family would fully support him. However, if the outcome was unsuccessful, the Meng family would remain loyal to the current emperor. This way, no matter which prince ultimately inherited the throne, the Meng family would be shielded from further entanglement and remain secure.

Over the next few days, just as Feng Xi had predicted, Meng Tian did not go to greet Princess Tuan Yushu. The general who had gone in his place was tragically assassinated by General Tuan Jin. Furthermore, Princess Tuan herself disappeared. Upon learning this, Feng Xi smiled faintly, as if everything was under control.

To justify her exceptional medical skills, Feng Xi instructed Meng Tian to gather a large quantity of precious medicinal herbs and various medical texts. She then leveraged the Meng family's prestige and financial resources to successfully purchase a restaurant in Xianyang City's most prosperous and bustling district. Feng Xi personally drew up exquisite design plans and meticulously decorated the restaurant to her exacting specifications. She also assigned the intelligent and capable Gao Yao to manage the restaurant.

On the night before entering the palace, Feng Xi summoned Gao Yao to her courtyard. After Gao Yao stood still, Feng Xi slowly spoke, "Gao Yao, I will be entering the palace tomorrow. From now on, the management of this restaurant outside the palace will be entirely handed over to you."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yao immediately made a move to kneel and salute, but Feng Xi, with her quick eyes and hands, stopped him in time. Feng Xi whispered, "In the future, if no one else is around, you won't need to perform this formal ceremony. I know you're not from this world. However, since you've come here, I'm afraid it's impossible to return. You have two paths to choose from: one, follow me and use your culinary talents to become the most accomplished chef in the Qin Empire. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you. The other is to leave on your own and find a way back home. The choice is entirely up to you."

Gao Yao looked at Feng Xi with a puzzled expression, his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity. He slowly asked, "Miss, how did you know my origins? And why did you help me? Also, do you know a way to get me back to my original world?"

Feng Xi smiled faintly, her red lips parted. "I'm afraid you can never go back to the past. As for why I know so much about your affairs, you can think of me as someone who knows everything in this world. But don't worry, your sister will live a good life in the era that originally belonged to you. And in this era, there happens to be a woman who looks exactly like your sister. If you wish to meet her, I will give the order later, and someone will bring her to you."

Hearing this, Gao Yao fell into deep thought. He knew that now that he was in the Qin Dynasty, his chances of returning home were slim. So, he decided to stay for a while, hoping this distinguished young lady could help him achieve his goals. After all, as far as he knew, this young lady Feng Xi had been granted the title of Lady Zhaohua by the current Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, a position second only to that of the Empress. With no Empress currently in office, Feng Xi was arguably the most powerful concubine in the palace.

At this thought, Gao Yao had already made his decision. He knelt on his knees and solemnly swore, "Thank you, young lady, for saving me so many times. I swear to be loyal to you until death, and I will never change my mind! If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!" Feng Xi saw this, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. Then, she gently waved her arm, and a loyalty talisman sank into Gao Yao's body. Gao Yao felt a warm current flowing through his body. Feng Xi was now more important to him than his own life, and he could not have a single negative thought.

Then Feng Xi had a servant bring a woman to them. Gao Yao took a closer look and was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, unable to help but call out, "Gao Lan! Sister!" However, the woman before him wasn't the real Gao Lan, but Xiaoyue, who looked just like her. Despite this, Gao Yao couldn't contain his joy and stepped forward to hold Xiaoyue's hand tightly.

Feng Xi nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Gao Yao, and she spoke slowly, "Gao Yao, this person is not your biological sister. Her name is Xiaoyue, and she will be by your side from now on. As for whether you should treat her as a sister, a maid, or something else, it's all up to you to decide!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yao immediately knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said in gratitude, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!" His words were filled with awe and gratitude.

Xiaoyue beside him also responded softly, "Yes!" Feng Xi turned to look at Xiaoyue and warned her earnestly, "Don't feel wronged. The palace is full of dangers, and you could lose your life if you're not careful. But as long as you follow him, I'm sure he will treat you well. Although you look like his sister, remember that you are not his biological sister after all. If he truly cares about you, you should be grateful. Your life was destined to be bumpy and difficult in the past, but by following him now, you may be able to avoid that untimely death!"

Xiaoyue's eyes reddened after hearing this, and she bowed again, thanking him, "Thank you, Madam, for your advice!" Gao Yao then led Xiaoyue away slowly. Along the way, Gao Yao turned to look at Xiaoyue and said softly, "Xiaoyue, from now on, just call me Brother. There's no need to be afraid of me. If there's any danger, I'll definitely protect you!"

Xiaoyue's heart warmed at these words, and she responded with gratitude, "Thank you, brother!" Gao Yao's eyes welled up at Xiaoyue's affectionate address, and he nodded gently. He knew full well that the Xiaoyue before him was not his younger sister, Gao Lan. However, to have met someone who looked just like his younger sister in this strange world was truly a blessing from heaven. So, he might as well treat Xiaoyue as his own sister, finding some solace in his lonely heart.
