Male God, Shine Bright! - Chapter 171
Chu Zheng sat on a big carved bed. The furnishing inside the room was filled with ancient charm, and there was subtle fragrance wafted around the room.
She rubbed her eyebrows.
She felt uncomfortable
I seem to have forgotten something.
[Does Miss want to check the previous plane memory?] Wangzhe asked.
Chu Zheng thought, “Forget it, trouble.”
[…]
“Miss, miss…” A little girl rushed in and saw Chu Zheng still sitting on the bed. The little girl was worried: “No, I just heard the princess say that the one who would enter the palace has become Miss.”
Chu Zheng: “…”
What?
Counterattack?
I can’t. I just came here!
The little girl was so anxious that she cried: “What should I do? I heard that the one in the palace* was fierce. Last time, two people said something wrong and died on the spot. Miss, our prince** has just left, but you were bullied like this. The princess is going too far!” (TN: * The emperor; ** The original owner’s father)
Chu Zheng: “…”
Prince?
Palace?
This is ancient…
“Stop crying.” You give me a headache.
The little girl cried even more and sobbed: “Miss, we are now cornered. The dignitaries who are attached to those people* on weekdays can’t wait to step us into the mud, and those behind us… I feel bad.” (TN: The original owner’s father’s enemies)
“Well, I feel bad too.”
The little girl was so sad that she burst into tears: “This place should have been for the one in the east courtyard. How can it be Miss now.”
“…”
“Miss, what should I do?”
“…” I don’t understand. Let’s have a cold salad.
It’s so noisy.
Let’s do it!
The little girl was crying and didn’t notice that her young lady was expressionless.
–
The original owner’s surname was Cheng.
The father of the original owner once fought with the late emperor.
He has saved the emperor for countless times.
They had a life-long friendship.
The late emperor also relied heavily on the original owner’s father.
Later, the original owner’s father helped the late emperor eradicate traitors.
After the country was stabilized, the original owner’s father was granted the title of King Cheng. He was the only king with a different surname in this dynasty, and he enjoyed the same treatment as those brothers of the late emperor.
Even those princes had to give Cheng Wang* some face. (TN: King Cheng = Cheng Wang)
What they said did not carry as much weight as what King Cheng said.
Before his death, the late emperor handed over the country to King Cheng.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he began to work diligently for two years. Although he did not make a great contribution, he was diligent in administration and love the people.
But just after the emperor came back from his private visit, everything changed.
The emperor was not only suspicious, but always felt that someone was trying to kill him.
He also became increasingly obsessed to an art of immortality and searched the whole world to look for an immortality method.
His temper was also getting more irritable day by day. Whoever provoked him would not end well.
King Cheng was entrusted by the late emperor to watch the country.
After all, the emperor was still an emperor. Naturally, he didn’t want to be controlled.
King Cheng angered the emperor several times. If he hadn’t received a live saving gold medal from the former emperor, the current emperor would have cut him off long ago.
The emperor could not execute him and began to look for another way.
Cheng Wang was injured when he was young, and his health became worse and worse with age. Finally, he was angered to death by the emperor.
After the death of King Cheng, there were only women and servants left in the huge King Cheng’s mansion.
The emperor continued to be an absurd emperor.
The original owner’s mother died early, and the current princess had actually been a concubine that was promoted as a main wife. She didn’t like the original owner very much. After the death of King Cheng, the original owner’s days in the house were miserable.
The original owner has a person she liked, and the elders had already arranged for them to get married.
Unfortunately, King Cheng suddenly disappeared, and the marriage was never mentioned again.
The original owner didn’t have a good time in the house. She was struggling and hoped that the person she liked would bring her out of this house in a large sedan chair*. (TN: To marry her)
Pity.
She never saw the sedan chair.
One day, without rhyme and reason, the emperor ordered all suitable age daughters of his courtiers to enter the palace.
There’s a rule in the palace.
If such decree was issued, only the daughters of the main wives were eligible to enter the palace.
Because only in this way, it meant that this person was a blessed and would not bring bad luck into the palace.
Although the original owner was nominally a legitimate daughter, her mother has already passed away, and she was no longer suitable to enter the palace.
Therefore, this place should belong to Cheng Xiao, the daughter of the current Princess Cheng.
However, the current princess spent some money to change her daughter’s name to the original owner’s.
No one knew what the emperor wants.
No one knew whether you can come out after you go in.
The original owner thought that she had a marriage contract. As long as the other party came into the palace to report, even if the emperor was fatuous, he would not be so stupid to not care.
However, when she went to find her engagement partner, she saw the other party hugging her sister intimately.
This picture overwhelmed the original owner.
In the end, she was sent to the palace instead of her sister who was supposed to enter the palace.
The emperor saw that she was beautiful and was the daughter of King Cheng, he thought of her father’s opposition and felt humiliated. He told her to stay in the palace that night.
The original owner was just a weak woman. Without the protection of her father, she couldn’t resist what the emperor wanted to do.
The emperor came to her every day, and everyone thought that the original owner was favored.
But about half a month later, the original owner was sent out of the palace in a small sedan chair without reward or any decree.
However, everyone knew that the original owner was lucky enough to be visited by the emperor every day.
Now, she was rejected by the emperor, and he also refused to give her a position.
Is there any way to survive after being sent out?
The gossip from the outside and the bullying from the people in the house made the original owner unhappy.
When the original owner was ready to die, she suddenly found herself pregnant.
She had only ever sleep with the emperor.
It was self-evident whose child this was.
The emperor still didn’t have a child. As long as the news of the original owner’s pregnancy reached the palace, the mother would definitely be honored along with the child.
The original owner’s sister, Cheng Xiao, heard the news.
She was afraid that the original owner would enter the palace and able to hold her own because of her son position as the eldest prince. Together with her mother, she forcibly fed the original owner an abortion pill.
When someone came from the palace, she united with the whole family to slander her, saying that she had an affair and didn’t abide by women’s morality. The child was not the emperor’s, so she was afraid of being found out and drank the abortion medicine herself.
At that time, the original owner had just had a miscarriage and was very weak. She couldn’t defend herself at all.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious. She was given a cup of poisonous wine and was whipped after her death.
Chu Zheng rubbed her eyebrows.
It’s terrible.
How to counter this?
Be an emperor?
Can the throne be bought with money?
Sure enough, it’s easier to do it directly!
Chu Zheng got out of bed. The little girl who was out of breath from crying just now has been driven out by her.
The decoration in the room was simple. In Chu Zheng’s memory, this was not the original owner’s room.
It was Princess Cheng who rushed her here after King Cheng died.
Chu Zheng walked to the bronze mirror, and the blurred bronze mirror reflected a slender figure.
The girl did not wear make-up and had a palm-sized oval face. Although her facial features were exquisite, her face was haggard, and there was no blood on her lips.
There was still childishness between her eyebrows. Although her features have yet to be fully opened, she could also be regarded as a beauty.
