Chapter 1: Rebirth (1)

Xu Yun Yao had just barely stepped out the imperial study when she met with the imperial chancellor, Tang Song Nian who drifted along the main path. The next moment, a dignified smile appeared on her face.

“It turns out to be Tang dàrén. We haven’t seen each other for some time. Have you lost some weight? Though Cui dàrén is your student, he made such a big mistake but can only blame himself . Cui dàrén is considered to be the pillar of the country and an old minister. His majesty is a brilliant master and will not likely implicate Tang dàrén. Tang dàrén shouldn’t need to feel worried!” Her tone had unspeakable tenderness, and was filled with concern.

“This old minister is ashamed for troubling Consort Shu with her concerns. This old minister is terrified!” Tang Song Nian, bowed forward with considerable trepidation and paused. Likewise he also spoke with unspeakable tenderness, “This old minister has heard that the empress’s body is unwell, when the third prince was born. However the palace must be in order and Your Royal Highness was responsible for the six eastern palace which is even more demanding. You Royal Highness has to take good care of the phoenix body and give birth to the dragon son for his majesty as soon as possible. ”

The smile on Xu Yun Yao’s face instantly stiff, and while she was slightly irritated she recovered quickly, covering up her grievance, “This Palace is grateful to Tang dàrén for his auspicious remarks.”

On one side, the head eunuch shrank back and lowered his head to waist height pretending that he saw nothing and mentioned nothing.

Both of them were people of vicious and ruthless nature. They did their utmost to rub salt into the other party’s wound, being merciless with their words. Rubbing the salt wherever it hurt the most!

Both of them would utmost to rub salt into the other went past. Between the eyes, faintly visible each other’s eyes rise up small flames, but each other’s smile partial and blazing.

After the footsteps behind her faded away, Xu Yun Yao stopped and looked at the figure in the distance with hate. But she found that the other party was still loitering, staring directly into her pitch black pupils, and giving her a meaningful smile.

She returned a sneer.

Stupid old man! Keep on pretending, this time you will only lose face, but next time I’ll make you suffer!

Suddenly, her throat was dry and itchy. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed. The palace servant held her in her arms and said anxiously, “Your Royal Highness your coughing seems to be getting worse today. You have to ask the Imperial Physician to make a careful diagnosis and treatment to see if a new decoction is needed.

“It doesn’t matter.” She waved her hand carelessly and then thought of all the arrangements she had made recently in recent days to take by taking advantage of her indisposition. Her mood immediately brightened a few minutes, and then looked at the location of the Feng Zao Palace, her eyes were shining with the light of victory.

However, she did not think that this minor illness would be so severe. But when she got up early the next morning, she found that it had not improved and it was getting worse, making her weak and unable to cope with half of her strength.

But pondering about the imperial decree that will soon be promulgated, her mood was not affected at all.

“Your Highness! Not good! Not good!”

She was frowning and drinking a bowl of black colored tonic. When she saw She Liu coming in, wiping the stain on the corner of her mouth, she slowly asked, “What’s the matter?”

“His Majesty has issued a decree in the court that Consort Shen be crowned as Empress!”

“Bang!” The bowl of tonic in Xu Yun Yao’s hand fell to the ground making a crisp sound.

“What? His majesty wants Consort Shen to be the Empress?” She stared in disbelief at She Liu, her body trembling slightly with extreme shock, only wishing she heard it wrong.

”Yes. The decree has already been issued. His Majesty is holding a meeting with Supervisor Qin Tian at this moment to select an auspicious day for the ceremony.” She Liu bitterly explained.

“Impossible, this is impossible. His Majesty is obviously… Impossible, this is impossible…” After so many years of planning just to fail at this point, Xu Yun Yao’s face became pale as she murmured.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Xu Yun Yao about Tang Song Nian’s meaningful smile yesterday, her eyes suddenly widened.

“Tang Song Nian, it’s Tang Song Nian that old man! That old man meddled with this Palace. I swear this Palace will not..Coough…….Couuggh.“ The overflowing anger was kindled within Xu Yun Yao’s heart, and with her severe cough, she suddenly had difficulty breathing. Before her consciousness faded, she could hear her servants exclaim-

“Your Highness!”

“, Pitter, patter…..” In a daze, Xu Yun Yao only felt as if water drops fell on her face, making her wet.

Is it raining? She was a bit confused, but then heard the cry of a woman next to her, interspersed with the old woman’s sobs: “Madam, the girl she …

“Nonsense you, nonsense! My little girl just fell asleep. You mustn’t make any noise that disturbs her!” The voice of the young woman was somewhat loud, holding the baby in her arms tighter. Stubborn and genuine, but the tears on her face were rampant.

Xu Yun Yao frowned uncomfortably, her face was damp and sticky, and she struggled subconsciously. “Bold, who is so rude…”

”Baaa..Bhaaa” Then, she was horrified to find that what she heard from her mouth was a baby’s babble.

What frightened her even more was that when she finally opened her eyes, she found herself tightly held in her arms by a young woman with a face full of tears!

“Madam, girl… girl moved, the girl moved…” The servant jumped in surprise and yelled out, immediately the room burst into noise.

“Quick, quick call Master. Quick, call the doctor!” The old woman yelled out excitedly.

Outside, a young man in indigo robes and red eyes, had his hands clasped tightly in his sleeves.

He had a hard time looking forward to his baby daughter… God is so cruel!
