Chapter 175: The Reborn Concubine Xiao
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao said disdainfully,
"Tsk? I don't care about it anymore. It is said that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes.
What's more, he has let me down so much. I have fought for twenty years but still failed to get the position of his queen.
Forget it, this man has broken my heart. He is not worth my efforts.
Nanny, I know what I want next."
The light in Concubine Xiao's eyes was frighteningly bright, and she did not hide her ambitions in front of her wet nurse.
After hearing this, Aunt Yao seemed to be relieved.
"Your Highness, you have finally come to your senses. What is love? It is not important to eat or drink. Nothing is more important than our Second Prince ascending to the throne!"
Concubine Xiao did not respond.
*
But soon, her attention turned back to herself, a big smile bloomed on her face, and she said happily,
"Nanny, don't tell me, I feel like this illness is helping me to be reborn!
Look at my graceful little figure, my delicate and pretty face, my spirit, I feel just like a young girl in her twenties!"
"My Lady, this is not just a feeling, this is the fact! When you woke up, I thought I was seeing things, hehe..."
Concubine Xiao twisted her waist and admired her own graceful figure. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it and the more satisfied she became. She continued in a happy mood,
"Nurse, no matter if someone poisoned me for my previous illness or not, I have to pay my respects to her and express my gratitude.
Without this illness that is worse than death, how could I be as beautiful as a flower now?!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"That's it!"
Madam Yao tidied up Concubine Xiao's clothes.
"My queen, if you leave now, those bitches in the harem will be so angry that they will want to commit suicide and won't be able to eat!
Bah! They deserve it. They can't stand seeing us doing well, and they all come to watch the fun with gloating delight.
Look, is he going to get slapped in the face?! Hehehe..., Imperial Concubine, you must make an example of him when the time comes."
Madam Yao looked at the extremely happy Concubine Xiao and laughed heartily.
*
Concubine Xiao glanced at Aunt Yao.
"Don't worry, nurse. Am I the kind of person who can swallow my anger? Queen Qin is, but I am not."
"By the way, Nanny, is your hand okay?"
"It's all right, madam. The hot spring water is really effective. Don't worry! I won't tell anyone the secret of this healing power."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao touched the button hanging around her neck and said with a smile,
"The hot spring water is useful to me, but it may not be useful to others! You are just blessed by me."
"Ah? Yes, yes, yes. I am grateful in my heart!"
Madam Yao didn't understand what Concubine Xiao meant. Does the hot spring water have to recognize the owner when it comes to curing illnesses?
But seeing that Concubine Xiao didn't want to answer, he didn't make any wild guesses and just followed her happily.

A few days later,
Concubine Xiao came out of retirement, and she walked to Kunning Palace with her senior palace maid, twisting her slender waist.
Kunning Palace,
The concubines who came to pay their respects were listening to the Queen's lecture, when suddenly a little maid came to report,
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is here."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the hall.
A graceful and swaying figure appeared from the morning light through the opened door curtain. She was dressed in moon-white brocade clothes, and she looked like a fairy from the ninth heaven who had descended to earth and walked in slowly.
"hiss"
Everyone's mouths turned into square 0 in surprise.
Concubine Xiao walked gracefully to Queen Qin and suddenly knelt down to salute the Queen for the first time in a thousand years.
"I send my regards to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and happiness."
After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked to his own seat and sat down.
Her maid hurriedly handed her the tea she had prepared.
*
Queen Qin looked at the beautiful Concubine Xiao in front of her and was stunned for a long time before she found her voice.
"Is Concubine Xiao's health improved?"
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am now in good health."
"Okay, okay!"
Queen Qin's heart was beating like a drum, and suddenly she was overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of crisis.
*
At this time,
Concubine Xian, who was already proud of her beauty, looked at Concubine Xiao, who was at least ten years younger than before. After being surprised, she couldn't help but walk up to Concubine Xiao.
He knelt and bowed,
"May the Royal Concubine be blessed with good health. What kind of magic medicine did you get? Your skin is so white that I must envy you. I wonder if I can ask for some of it?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sneered,
"Oh, look at what Concubine Xian said. There is no such thing as a magic pill.
It’s just that after I recovered from a serious illness, I felt like I was reborn!
I am grateful for this illness. It is good to be sick! Although the pain is unbearable, now that I have gotten through it, it is worth it as my body has become ten years younger!"
*
The usually steady Concubine De could no longer sit still. She stood up and walked to Concubine Xiao. Looking at her pair of jade hands that were radiant with luster, she couldn't help but ask,
"Empress Xiao, can I touch your hand?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Come, let's shake hands! To be honest, I was surprised to see such a big change when I woke up after recovering from my illness!"
After Concubine Xiao finished speaking, she chuckled and generously reached out her hand to hold Concubine De's hand.
"Noble Concubine Xiao, your beautiful body will surely be the envy of your sisters."
Concubine De touched Concubine Xiao's soft, boneless little hand, and the smooth touch made her speechless.
*
then,
The following greeting scene suddenly became Xiao Ruyue's home turf, with compliments from the crowd coming one after another, as if they had forgotten how they had taken advantage of her when they visited the patient that day.
When they returned, they were so envious and jealous that they gnashed their teeth and tore their handkerchiefs.
Without thinking too much, you will know that Emperor Kun, who has always been fair to everyone, will once again favor Concubine Xiao for a period of time like he did when he was young.
As expected, early that morning, the explosive news that Concubine Xiao had undergone a complete transformation quickly spread to the front.
*
imperial study room,
After the morning court session, Emperor Kun was stunned when he heard this. He pushed aside the pile of memorials, threw away the imperial pen, and said,
"really?"
"Your Majesty, I saw it clearly. Ouch! I thought I was dazzled and rubbed my eyes hard!
The current Concubine Xiao is even more stunning than when she was Concubine Feng! "
"Oh? Now that you mention it, I am a little curious. Let's go to Ruyi Palace. I should also go to visit Concubine Xiao."
"Here."
*
On the long corridor, Emperor Kun had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Thinking of Xiao Ruyue back then, thinking of all her abnormalities.
He also thought of the extraordinary advice he gave him when he was fighting for the throne.
I always believed that she was a goddess sent by God to help me.
But the result?
