Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Qiao Xi quickly reached out to cooperate.

But because the movement was too fast, it seemed to involve something and he let out a suppressed groan of pain.

As she stretched out her arms, bright red blood seeped out from her shoulders covered in white.

The emperor's eyes darkened. "What's going on?"

Qiao Xi didn't care much. "I was injured a few days ago while on a mission. I didn't let the imperial physician know because I didn't want you to worry. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

On the surface, Qiao Xi has been recuperating in the deep palace for these years.

In private, they were either training in secret factories or working for the emperor. Walking in the dark, injuries were inevitable.

A few days ago, the emperor did give some instructions and heard from his spies that Qiao Xi was injured, but he didn't care about the severity of the injury, as long as he was not dead.

Now that the wound is bleeding again, it must be a serious injury. If it is a serious injury, the sudden weight loss is understandable.

Seeing Cao Ying slowly shaking his head at him, the emperor knew that Qiao Xi's memory had not recovered, and his doubts were dispelled.

He put on a worried look again, "You are always so sensible that it makes me distressed. Let Cao Ying deal with it for you."

He then ordered Cao Ying, "Use the best medicine. If anything happens to Xier, I will not forgive you..."

After saying so many caring words, Qiao Xi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and the emperor allowed her to leave.

When he stepped out of the imperial study, Qiao Xi's eyes were cold.

After rebirth, he learned the truth and was filled with pain and resentment, and the flesh on his body was visibly falling off.

Anticipating that the emperor would become suspicious, he deliberately got injured while on a mission in order to cope with today.

Fortunately, I got away with it.

However, the emperor was suspicious and vicious, and would not let her leave the capital without doing anything.

In the imperial study, the emperor said to Cao Ying, "Send the medicine to her and say it is to conceal her internal strength so that she can act more easily outside."

Although the previous medicine modified Qiao Xi's memory, it could only last for about six or seven years. Now that five years have passed, the emperor is always worried that Qiao Xi's memory will recover prematurely.

Cao Ying froze slightly.

The medicine will suppress Qiao Xi's original memory and hide his internal strength.

But, it’s fatal.

Qiao Xi took the medicine and put it into her mouth without any hesitation.

In her previous life, she had also taken this medicine, but only half a year later.

At that time, the emperor asked her to disguise herself as different people and assassinate the leaders of various vassal states.

Being able to hide her inner strength and make people relax their vigilance was a good thing for her, she had no doubt about it.

But this medicine became her death warrant.

Cao Ying estimated that the medicine had dissolved in Qiao Xi's body before leaving.

As soon as everyone left, Qiao Xi spit out the medicine wrapped in the film.

Because of the precautions taken in advance, the medicine did not melt at all.

Putting the medicine in his arms, Qiao Xi disguised himself as a eunuch and left the palace.

"What would you like to fight, sir?"

As soon as I entered the blacksmith shop, a clerk came up to greet me.

Qiao Xi said in a shrill voice, "Please send a message to the King of Xinjiang North."

The guard dissipated under the eyes of the waiter, and he said with a smile, "You are joking. I am just a blacksmith. How can I know any king?"

It took Qiao Xi some effort to find out that this was Jiangbei's secret spot in the capital.

Different from the fellows, they beat around the bush and said, "I can help him get the food."

The guy's smile gradually faded, as if he was thinking about something.

But then a deep male voice sounded from behind the stove, "What are the conditions?"

Qiao Xi looked in the direction of the voice, and the man's face was hidden behind the fire, flickering and difficult to see clearly.

"Capture someone for me, pretend to like her, and keep her in northern Xinjiang temporarily."

"who?"

"Someone the King of Northern Xinjiang can afford to kidnap."

Qiao Xi imitated the eunuch, raised her orchid finger, and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "This is my sincerity."

The guy took it and was shocked. It turned out to be the grain transportation route.

This person gave such an important thing without hesitation. Just as he began to doubt it, he heard Qiao Xi say, "If the King of Jiangbei is worried about a trick, he doesn't need to go in person."

The paper was handed to the man, and the waiter asked, "Aren't you afraid that we won't do anything for you if we get the food?"

Qiao Xi smiled, "The King of Jiangbei who is willing to take risks for the people is not a villain. If I'm wrong, then I'll just consider it as a good deed for the people of Jiangbei."

The man chuckled and took a step forward. "Jiangbei agrees to this cooperation."

Qiao Xi glanced at him, her eyes slightly narrowed. The man had a stern look on his face, and even though he was wearing a coarse cloth shorts, it was difficult to conceal his graceful demeanor.

Nodding slightly, Qiao Xi turned and left the shop.

Two months passed in a flash.

Bixiang complained, "If you don't want to get married, just pretend to be seriously ill. The rich and powerful won't marry a woman with an illness, so they won't pay attention to you."

Why do you have to leave Beijing?

Even if it hurts her, she has to follow.

They traveled quickly all the way and finally arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. However, before they had time to rest for a day, the grain escort team returned to Beijing.

She was either on the road or on the road every day, and the bumpy ride made her bones feel like they were falling apart.

Today, we encountered a mountain road collapse and the grain transport carts could not pass, so they had to take a detour. We missed the post station and could only rest in this shabby and small inn.

Although she was only a palace maid, her status was special and she lived better than the average master in the palace. She had never suffered such hardship.

Qiao Xi listened to her complaints and curled his lips coldly.

But he said, “Even if I pretend to be sick, there will be people who will take a fancy to my favored status and want to use me to get close to His Majesty.

Besides, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and I don't want people to think that Your Majesty is not devoted to me because I have been ill for several years and have not recovered.

She expressed her loyalty at all times to deceive the emperor.

Bixiang also knew Qiao Xi's secret identity, and the emperor would never let her get married, so what Qiao Xi said made sense.

But she was angry and was about to say something when her vision went dark and she fell to the ground.

Before she closed her eyes, she vaguely saw Qiao Xi also fall down...

Outside the inn.

A group of men in black appeared like ghosts, moved the grain-escorting soldier who had fainted on the ground to the side, and then quickly left, pushing carts full of grain.

Qiao Xi stood in front of the window, watching them move quickly and orderly, and raised her lips.

It hasn't rained in northern Xinjiang for a year, and people in the region are having a hard time.

When she decided to use this batch of grain for disaster relief, she first thought of northern Xinjiang.

Northern Xinjiang was once a place guarded by the Qiao family for generations. Although the current King of Northern Xinjiang, Su Heting, is notorious, he emptied his family's coffers to help the people in the face of drought.

Only by handing the grain to such people can the people truly benefit.

But since there was no such person as Su Heting in the previous life, Qiao Xi spent a lot of time investigating.

The door was pushed open with a creak.

Qiao Xi still faced the window, not moving. "No wonder the Emperor is wary of you. The King of Northern Xinjiang is well-trained."

At that time, when the feudal lords were divided and the barbarians invaded, the imperial court was unable to resist the enemies, so it issued a heroic order.

Su Heting went into the bandit's lair alone, conquered a thousand bandits and formed an army of volunteers.

In three years, the rebel army grew to 100,000 people and became the main force to resist the barbarians. The people in northern Xinjiang supported him as the King of Northern Xinjiang, and the court turned a blind eye to it.

Last year, the barbarians were driven out of the country, and Su Heting, who occupied the northern part of the border, became a major concern for the emperor.

However, due to his reputation, he dared not do anything to Jiangbei openly, and could only send people to assassinate him repeatedly. However, Su Heting was not a pushover either.

After hearing her voice, the man stopped in his tracks.

There was no response. Qiao Xi turned around and looked at Su Heting.

Qiao Xi guessed his identity last time, the man in the blacksmith shop.

Seeing Su Heting standing there, she asked suspiciously, "King of Jiangbei?"

The man finally moved, sitting lazily on the chair next to Qiao Xi, with his long legs crossed and resting on the low table.

Qiao Xi grew up beside the prince and was amazed by his good manners of standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell. Seeing Su Heting like this, she frowned.

Then the man said, "I've heard that the Emperor and Princess Chaoyang are as close as father and daughter. I never expected that Princess Chaoyang would be the one to help me seize the grain.

I never expected that Princess Chaoyang was actually the commander of the secret factory. Now it seems that the princess allowed me to abduct her herself."

Qiao Xi has his own plans.

She wanted the world to know that the daughter of the Qiao family had returned to northern Xinjiang, so she did not disguise herself tonight.

Su Heting had been to Beijing, so it was not surprising that he recognized her. She also expected him to be surprised, but this had nothing to do with their cooperation.

"You have obtained the food. You only need to take me to the northern part of the border as agreed."

Su Heting still looked lazy. He stared at Qiao Xi for a moment, then suddenly stood up and took Qiao Xi into his arms with his strong arms. He said in a domineering and arrogant tone, "This king needs a princess. Get ready to marry, Princess Chaoyang."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Xi was puzzled.

Su Heting had no intention of replying at all. He let go of the person, flicked some powder from the Bixiang on the ground with his fingertips, and strode out the door.

Qiao Xi wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but seeing that Bixiang was about to wake up, he had no choice but to fall to the ground and pretend to be unconscious.

I quickly thought about the reason why Su Heting changed the agreement without my permission.

As Su Heting stepped out of the door, his heart was also restless, and his hands under his sleeves trembled uncontrollably...
