After Chu Yu returned to Beijing, Zhao Zhuoxi arranged for her to take Jiang Jiu's pulse.

This day was supposed to be the day Jiang Jiu started learning the palace rules.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for Jiang Jiu's request, Zhao Zhuoxi let her rest for another three days.

Jiang Jiu couldn't get what he wanted, so he stayed in the house and didn't come out.

"My Lady, this room is the warmest in the palace during the winter. It's said that the entire room is covered with Sichuan peppercorns to keep it warm. It's specifically for the Queen to live in during the winter. That's why it's called the Pepper Room."

Jiang Jiu felt a little bored staying in the room, so Taohua told him all the big and small news she heard after entering the palace.

Jiang Jiu is a modern person, and he knows the origin of the palace as soon as he hears the name.

She knew it on the first day she moved in, because this palace was not only warm, but also closest to the emperor's bedroom.

While cracking melon seeds, there was a charcoal fire burning in the house. There was a biting cold wind outside, but Jiang Jiu not only did not feel cold, but also felt stuffy, so he opened the window.

Yunshu came in from outside carrying a plate of snacks.

"Princess, I just ran into Eunuch Yiyun. He said His Majesty has invited the best doctor in Daning to see you."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "I'm not sick, why do I need so many doctors all day long?"

Yun Shu smiled and explained, "Of course it's to help the princess recuperate."

"Haven't you heard everyone say that His Majesty has canceled next year's selection, saying that only the princess is enough for the harem."

"If the princess is not in good health, how can she give birth to children for His Majesty?"

Jiang Jiu was surprised: "What? He canceled next year's draft? Why?"

Yunshu was delighted that her master had won the favor of His Majesty, and from now on they would be able to do whatever they wanted in the harem.

"Of course I dote on the princess."

Jiang Jiu thought back to the days since she entered the palace. The emperor was indeed nice to her, but it wasn't to the point of doting on her.

Besides, the emperor is unlucky in marrying women, so she doesn't want to marry him, for fear that she will die soon.

"The Emperor's favor comes a little strangely. Every time I feel like he looks at me, he's looking at someone else through my eyes."

Jiang Jiu is not a fool, she can feel Zhao Zhuoxi's deep affection.

But this affection is not for her.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu remained sober and wanted to leave the palace from beginning to end.

It's just that during this period, she always had some messy dreams, which hindered her from leaving.

Sure enough, not long after, Master Yiyun came in person with a young woman.

"Princess, this is the doctor His Majesty has specially invited for you."

As soon as Jiang Jiu saw the woman in front of her, she felt familiar, but what attracted her more was her slightly bulging belly.

"Are you pregnant? You're pregnant and yet the emperor drags you here to see me. It's really tiring. Come, come, sit down and talk."

Chu Yu raised her eyebrows. The tone of voice of this girl was indeed very similar to Jiang Jiu's.

She sat opposite Jiang Jiu and asked Jiang Jiu to stretch out his arm.

After taking the patient's pulse carefully, he came to the same conclusion as Imperial Physician Zhang.

It was said that Jiang Jiu suffered from insomnia and nightmares, and was weak, so he needed to rest.

Jiang Jiu likes to rest quietly. She pouted and said, "How long will it take? Maybe tomorrow His Majesty will send a governess to teach me the rules."

Chu Yu raised her eyebrows: "The princess is already like this, what rules are there to teach her? Besides, the princess is the future queen, your rules are the rules, who can teach them..."

Jiang Jiu was a little embarrassed: "That's what I said, but I don't want to be the queen, and I don't want to marry the emperor..."

Chu Yu was a little surprised: "Why? Isn't it good to marry the emperor? You are the queen who rules the country, an honor that many women can't even dream of."

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and said, "The emperor is very good, a good man, very handsome, and good at martial arts. He is the emperor, but he is the emperor, and there are countless beauties in the harem. I don't want to force myself on a man with so many women."

This idea is the same as hers.

Chu Yu continued, "But yesterday the Emperor canceled the selection, saying that from now on there will only be one princess in the harem..."

Jiang Jiu was very embarrassed: "That's why I feel even more guilty. If he was an ordinary man, I might consider it, but he is the emperor after all, and he gave up his harem for me. Isn't that like roasting me on the rack?"

"Your Majesty, having children is a matter of state and very important. If I can't have one, or if something happens to me, all the ministers will blame me. I can't handle it."

It's a good thing to be the center of attention.

But the best things can turn into bad things.

Who knows, one day he might become a demon that brings disaster to the country and the people.

Go and see Yang Guifei, go and see Su Daji.

Which one of them is not favored by the emperor?

Chu Yu understood her predicament, but was powerless to do anything, so he patted her hands.

"You are weak and need to be recuperated. I will give you acupuncture at noon when the Yang energy is at its peak. Now I will report to His Majesty and then prescribe medicine for you..."

I don’t know how Chu Yu gave Jiang Jiu the acupuncture. As soon as she left, Jiang Jiu fell asleep again.

After Chu Yu showed it to Jiang Jiu, she went straight back to the imperial study.

"Miss Chuyu, how is she? Is she okay?"

As soon as Zhao Zhuoxi saw her come in, he put down the memorial.

Chu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's possible that it's her. She's also resurrected through a corpse, but she has no memories of her past. Her temper and personality are much more lively than before..."

There was a hint of sadness in Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes.

"It's all my fault. I was the one who caused her to be poisoned by the strange poison from the Western Regions. She lost her memory and forgot about me."

"Miss Chuyu, can it be cured?"

Chu Yu shook her head gently. "The soul that has been resurrected is unstable and has caused great damage to the body. If she is not properly treated, she may not live past thirty. If this is the result Your Majesty wants, I can use acupuncture to awaken her memory..."

"What? Can't live past thirty? How is that possible?" Zhao Zhuoxi didn't expect that restoring his memory would cause such great damage to his body.

After thinking hard for a moment, Zhao Zhuoxi made a decision.

"Then don't awaken her memory. I hope she can live a long and long life and grow old with me."

Chu Yu asked again: "Even if she no longer likes Your Majesty, does it matter?"

Zhao Zhuoxi felt distressed, but he couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Jiu suffer health problems.

"Is there any other method?"

Chu Yu shook her head: "Her original body had suffered too much of a blow, and she couldn't bear it for a while, so she was taken away. Her soul is unstable and her body is not able to bear it. This is the side effect of hating separation. Hate separation, hate separation. If you don't say goodbye to the past, how can you start over?"

Zhao Zhuoxi felt heartbroken when she thought of the loving days she had spent with Jiang Jiu.

"What should I do to make her love me like before?"

Chu Yu sighed. She was actually not optimistic about Zhao Zhuoxi at first. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and he was cruel and ruthless, and regarded human life as worthless.

I didn't expect Zhao Zhuoxi to be so affectionate.

"If Your Majesty treats her with sincerity, perhaps Your Majesty can make her fall in love with you again."

Fall in love with him again...

Just as Zhao Zhuoxi was thinking about it, suddenly, an urgent report came from the Ministry of War.

"Report, Your Majesty, urgent news from eight hundred miles away: Nanli Kingdom has sent 300,000 troops to attack our Daning..."
