When Ji Changze opened his eyes this time, he found that he was lying on his side, and someone was massaging his calf with gentle force.
Someone was sobbing in a low voice below. He glanced at it and found a woman dressed as a palace maid kneeling down there. She was crying pitifully. There were many eunuchs and maids waiting carefully in the hall, not even daring to show off. asthma.
The person massaging his calves was also a eunuch. Seeing him looking around, the eunuch raised his head and carefully forced out a flattering smile: "Your Highness, is this strength okay?"
Ji Changze hummed without saying a word, looked at the teapot placed in front of him, and picked it up casually, intending to take a sip of tea first to moisten his throat. However, as soon as he took it down, the eyes of the palace maid who was kneeling and sobbing suddenly burst out. He looked frightened and began to kowtow frantically.
"Your Highness, have mercy on me, Your Highness, please have mercy on me, please, Your Highness, please have mercy on me!!!"
She was obviously afraid that Ji Changze would hit her with a teapot. If the teapot hit someone on the head or face, the injuries would be serious. As a woman, she was naturally afraid of being disfigured, but even though she was shaking with fear, she still tried her best. Didn't dare to move an inch.
Ji Changze waved his hand to ask her to stop first and began to check the memory.
He originally thought that his status was obviously high, and he thought he was a prince who was favored by the emperor. After looking at his memory, he discovered that the backer behind him was his brother from the same mother, and in this world, Emperor Yuan Chen.
He is the posthumous son of the late emperor and the current younger brother. He was named King Hao when he was born and has been raised in the palace ever since.
From birth to now, the young prince can only be described as smooth sailing. His mother loves him, his brother dotes on him, and the big backer behind him is his brother, the emperor. He gets whatever he wants, so he develops his arrogant and lawless character. .
But although he is arrogant, he is naturally smart and knows many things. He also knows how much his mother and brother love him. Although King Hao is smart, he has no big goals. He only hopes to be a happy and idle prince in this life.
Everything was fine at first, but when he was nine years old, King Hao slipped and fell into the water. When he woke up, he was a changed person.
Of course, in the eyes of the people in the palace, this was a change in King Hao's temperament due to his serious illness. In fact, the original King Xiao Hao had died in the accident, and the person who remained in King Hao's body was the time traveler.
Ji Changze saw nothing strange when he saw this. There are three thousand big worlds and three thousand small worlds. There are systematic existences, and there will naturally be travelers. In a sense, he is also a traveler, but he comes with a mission.
The time-traveler obviously traveled by himself. After he entered the body of King Hao, he was originally happy that he had time-traveled and became the prince of the feudal dynasty, but his mind immediately fantasized about the beautiful future life of three wives and four concubines vying for hegemony over the world.
But then he discovered that the person sitting in the emperor's position was not the old emperor who needed a prince, but the young Emperor Yuan Chen, who was only eleven years older than him.
Emperor Yuan Chen already has a prince, so it’s not like he can’t have children. Unless all his princes are dead, the future emperor’s position will not go to the time traveler no matter what. And even if Emperor Yuan Chen can’t have children, he is only older than his younger brother. At the age of eleven, you may not be able to sit on the throne even if your hair turns gray.
The time traveler did not have King Hao's admiration for his brother. He tried his best to pretend to be King Hao while making plans in his mind.
He is a time traveler from modern times. Isn't he better than an ancient feudal emperor
If he did not seize the throne, the princes of this dynasty would not have fiefdoms, and the emperor and the queen mother had previously expressed that they would let King Hao stay in the capital forever. Wouldn't that mean house arrest? The time traveler is not happy to not even have his own territory.
The time traveler automatically ignored that in this dynasty, only the remaining royal family was the real power, and also ignored the various honors of King Hao. After finding a reason for himself, he started his plan.
In fact, he didn't have any plans. After all, he wasn't a very smart person before time travel. Even if he was smarter, he might not even be as smart as the nine-year-old King Hao.
Afraid that others would find out the clues, he pretended to be King Hao.
It's just that King Xiao Hao is just arrogant and likes to lose his temper but never beats or scolds his servants. What about this time traveler? Beating and scolding the servants was a common thing, and he often came up with some weird ideas to torture the palace people for fun.
The Queen Mother couldn't stand the reprimand, so he cursed the Queen Mother in his heart as an old witch, and avoided the Queen Mother. Emperor Yuan Chen tried to persuade her, but he also felt that Emperor Yuan Chen only loved her on the surface, but in fact he was still wary of his younger brother.
The time traveler was originally in his twenties, but his behavior was still inferior to that of the nine-year-old Xiao Hao Wang.
He took advantage of Emperor Yuan Chen's lack of defense against him. After successfully contacting the ministers with rebellious tendencies, he planned for a period of time and then defrauded Emperor Yuan Chen of his military power.
At that time, the Queen Mother was surrounded, and Emperor Yuan Chen could not get out, so King Hao had to lead the troops to rescue her. Emperor Yuan Chen gave him military power, which was equivalent to giving him and the Queen Mother's life.
But he didn't know that this person was no longer his younger brother who was brought up by him, but a strategist who was only interested in the throne.
The time traveler took the military power and did not go to save the Queen Mother. Instead, he directly rebelled and killed Emperor Yuanchen. He allowed the Queen Mother to be robbed and refused to redeem her, and he comfortably sat on the throne of the emperor.
He was quite able to comfort himself.
This paragraph will definitely be written in some history book, but so what, he is not a pedantic ancient person. As long as he enjoys it now, it doesn't matter what history will write.
At this time, King Hao was fifteen years old, and he was already in contact with a certain minister who insisted on the cause of rebellion, and had a cordial and friendly conversation.
Ji Changze looked at the memory and suddenly realized something was wrong.
He felt his body, and sure enough, there was another person's soul in this body, not the long-dead King Xiao Hao, but the time traveler.
The system is only responsible for determining worlds that need correction or help, and cannot detect the existence of time travellers. Therefore, in the eyes of the system, it is King Hao who has caused many regrets. As long as King Hao is changed, many tragedies in this world will naturally not happen again.
But in fact, it was the time traveler in King Hao's body that caused the tragedy. The real King Xiao Hao had died long ago when he fell into the water at the age of nine.
Ji Changze was rarely a little worried.
In this world, spiritual power cannot be cultivated. The best he can do is practice martial arts. He still cannot get the time traveler out by himself.
It doesn't seem possible to keep him in King Hao's body.
He needs sleep, and when he falls asleep, the time traveler will still wake up.
Worry.
System; [The host can purchase props. The prop mall is on sale. Buy one and get one free. Buy one and get one free is a great deal.]
Ji Changze: [Don’t buy it.]
System: [… The host doesn’t want to buy this? If you don’t buy it, you may end up using one body for two people.]
Ji Changze still insisted: [I won’t buy it.]
The system can only leave silently.
It really couldn't figure out how Ji Changze would live in this world if he didn't buy props.
Do we really want to stay in the same body with the time traveler for the rest of our lives
Ji Changze was also thinking about this issue.
But soon he stopped worrying.
After all, he discovered after staying for a while that although this time traveler could exist in King Hao's body, King Hao's body had always been faintly rejecting him. Even if it was a very weak rejection, it was still rejection.
Ji Changze is different.
When he enters the body, no matter what circumstances the original owner agrees to, he just nods his head and agrees.
Some people regret too many sins and cannot go back, so they look for someone to make up for it.
Some have sold their souls, so they can naturally agree directly.
There are only a few people like King Hao who are just a little arrogant but actually have good intentions and have no intention of harming anyone before they die. But Ji Changze can enter King Hao's body, which means that he is King Hao. A wish made by oneself.
He hoped Ji Changze could change all this.
In other words, Ji Changze entered the country officially and had documents and certificates.
As for the time-travelers, they are smuggled in. They have nothing and sneak into this body without permission.
In addition, Ji Changze's willpower is much stronger than him, so the initiative of the body will still be in Ji Changze's hands. Only when he falls asleep or voluntarily gives up control of the body can the time traveler come out and move around.
Then this is too simple.
System: [Remind the host that this is the SSS world. If the host purchases props now, he can also get a 30% discount.]
[Not buying.]
The stingy Ji Changze never lets the system down.
The system sighed.
It felt that the host would definitely not be able to handle such a difficulty.
Ji Changze ignored the system that was worried about him and looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression.
In fact, this palace maid did not make any mistakes. She just walked a little faster when she came in. The time traveler felt that she had disturbed her sleep, so she punished her by kneeling. After kneeling for so long, her knees hurt unbearably, and she couldn't help it. cried quietly.
On the one hand it hurts, on the other hand it feels wronged.
After all, this palace maid grew up serving King Hao. King Hao used to be kind to her and treated her like a sister. He also once said that when she reaches the age to get married, he will ask His Majesty to let her leave the palace and mate.
But in the past few years, His Highness seemed to have changed. Not only did he no longer joke at her, but he also lost his good looks towards her. Compared to her, His Highness preferred those young and beautiful girls. If the Queen Mother had not always If she was asked to serve by King Hao's side, I'm afraid King Hao would have just thrown her somewhere else.
As for letting her go out to get married, it was treated as if it never happened.
Back then, she was a first-class close person to King Hao, but now she has to kneel here in front of so many people for so long, which naturally makes her feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's go down, I'm annoyed when I see your face!"
Ji Changze reprimanded in the condescending tone often used by time travellers, stood up and walked into the house with a sullen face: "I want to sleep, so please don't make any noise."
After taking two steps out, he seemed to have changed his mind again. He turned around and stared at the palace maid who was standing up wiping tears with a gloomy expression: "Ru'er, don't go down either. Just wipe the floor in the room and wipe the floor." The floor is clean and bright, and you can't make a sound. If you dare to wake me up, even if your mother stops you, I will send you to the Clothing Bureau."
Ru'er saluted with red eyes, and Nuonuo said yes.
Since the time traveler came, this person has been regarded as a big sister by King Xiao Hao and has taken care of him all the way. When King Xiao Hao was sick, Ru'er, who didn't sleep for three days, had the worst life.
Because she looks ordinary and is old, she is already twenty-seven years old this year. King Xiao Hao originally planned to send her out of the palace in glory when she was twenty-one and find her a good family, but it was not too late. , the time traveler is here.
The first thing the time traveler did after he established his identity as King Hao was to replace all the maids in the palace with beautiful little girls.
At that time, he was still young and couldn't do much, but it didn't stop him from getting some "child brides" for himself to enjoy. Although the Queen Mother allowed him to take away many girls, she watched King Hao grow up all the way. Ru'er refused to let him change.
After all, King Hao is not yet an adult, so he still needs a stable maid by his side. What if all these little girls are ignorant and don't know how to persuade him, what will happen if King Hao really messes around with the maid in the future.
In addition to considering this factor when leaving Ru'er, the Queen Mother also knew about the relationship between her younger son and Ru'er, and felt that with Ru'er by her side, her younger son would still listen to her opinions on whatever he did.
In the end, she was sure that her younger son was someone Ru'er had grown up with, but she was not sure that her younger son had been replaced by someone else.
Ru'er staying with King Hao will only make the time traveler dissatisfied and torment her.
The time traveler didn't dare to go too far, so he was punished by kneeling and standing, but this was enough to make Ru'er feel uncomfortable, especially since the two of them did have a bit of a brother-sister relationship. They had softly said that they would wait until he grew up. His Highness, who had supported Ru'er since entering the palace, now wanted to drive her out immediately without even seeing her. How could he not feel sad in his heart.
But after being sad for so long, I’m used to it no matter how sad I am.
Ru'er carried the basin into the inner hall under the sympathetic gaze of others, and carefully knelt on the ground to wipe it. She did not dare to make a sound, for fear that she would be punished if she woke up His Highness.
She didn't know how long she had been wiping, but while she was wiping, she suddenly heard His Highness, who was sleeping inside, calling her name in a tone that was not yet awake.
"Sister Ru'er."
Ru'er was stunned.
Ever since His Highness fell into the water, he had never called her that way again. It was a bit against the rules for His Highness to call a palace maid sister. If he never called her again, Ru'er would not take the initiative to ask her.
But now, I heard this title from His Highness again.
Ru'er was stunned, not knowing whether she should go in. After all, His Highness had not allowed her to enter the back room a long time ago, saying that seeing her face turned her off.
Perhaps because she didn't respond, His Highness's voice became confused.
"Sister Ru'er? Xiao Xizi?"
Ru'er was even more confused.
Xiao Xizi was the little eunuch who served His Highness before. He was a lovable fat boy. His Highness said that he liked his chubby face and looked happy, so he specially asked for him from the imperial kitchen.
Later, His Highness fell into the water and fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he no longer liked Xiao Xizi and let him go back to the imperial kitchen. Before that, she and Xiao Xizi were always the closest to His Highness.
Ru'er didn't know why His Highness suddenly did this. She was a little afraid that His Highness had come up with another way to trouble people. But no matter what His Highness wanted to do, she was a palace maid and she could only obey. She stood up and went to the house tremblingly. .
Ji Changze has come out on his own.
He was barefoot, yawning, and looked very sleepy. When he saw Ru'er's expression, he looked confused: "Why aren't you waiting by my side? I just wanted to drink water, but no one came after I called several times."
When he saw the clothes Ru'er was wearing and the rag he was holding in his hand, obviously after wiping the floor, King Hao looked even more confused: "How do you do this kind of work? It's so tiring, and... Yes, sister Ru'er, what are you wearing? No... I just slept, why do you look so much older?"
When Ru'er heard these words, she was confused at first, and then she gradually came to her senses and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, didn't you ask me to wipe the floor?"
"I?"
Ji Changze's face was full of innocence. He was only fifteen years old. It was too easy to be believed by him with such a blank and innocent look: "Sister Ru'er, what are you talking about? How could I let you do such a job?"
The changes in His Highness have completely exceeded Ru'er's cognition. She could only try hard to find some information in her blank brain before answering.
"Your Highness, there is also Xiao Xizi. Didn't Xiao Xizi ask you to be sent back to the imperial kitchen?"
"Shall I take Xiao Xizi back to the imperial dining room?"
His Royal Highness King Hao in front of him was indeed full of confusion: "How is it possible? Wouldn't it be nice for Xiao Xizi to be by my side? Why should I send him away? Sister Ru'er, you are so weird today. What's going on outside? It’s such a bright sun, wasn’t it snowing just now?”
Seeing Ji Changze looking strangely out of the window while talking, Ru'er had an incredible guess in her mind.
It was winter when His Highness fell into the water.
Originally, His Highness was supposed to be surrounded by people on three levels inside and three levels out wherever he went, but at that time, His Highness went to visit the Queen Mother and said that he wanted to sleep there during his lunch break without anyone waiting on him.
As a result, when people left, he quietly climbed through the window and ran into the pond in the Queen Mother's Palace. He wanted to skate on it but accidentally fell into the water.
Although the guards discovered it quickly at the time, it was winter and His Highness did not know how to drink water and was frightened. He was very sick for many days before he recovered.
This incident was deeply remembered by Ru'er. She still remembered that she stayed by the bedside all night long, hoping that His Highness would wake up. She was joyfully trying to get His Highness some water, but she was greeted by someone who had always treated her. Very well, His Highness looked over with disgust.
Ru'er's body stiffened, and she carefully raised her eyes to look at Ji Changze and asked, "Your Highness, do you still remember how old you are?"
"Why are you asking this? Didn't I just celebrate my ninth birthday?" Ji Changze looked outside and smiled after hearing this and replied: "Sister Ru'er, don't you still know my birthday? Oh. I understand, sister Ru'er is thinking about getting married, so she tried to remind me that you are already twenty-one years old and it's time to leave the palace."
Ru'er's tears flowed down directly after hearing the last sentence.
This is the His Highness she is familiar with.
But now, she is not twenty-one years old, but actually twenty-seven years old.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Didn't you just say good things? Why did you cry just now? Just now I saw that something was wrong with you. Look at what you are wearing. It makes you look older. , and these clothes, don’t you always like to wear them like this? Is it possible that someone is bullying you? Tell me quickly, I will make the decision for you. In this palace, no one can be so big. Those who have the courage to bully me, King Hao."
Ru'er just cried and couldn't speak.
What should I say
You said it was not someone else who bullied you, but you, Your Highness
She didn't know whether she should be happy that the original His Highness was back, or whether she should be annoyed that His Highness seemed to have lost the memory of the past few years and just cried heartily.
Crying and crying, she couldn't help it anymore, so she threw herself into Ji Changze's arms and shouted in a choked voice, "Your Highness..."
Ji Changze hugged her and sighed in his heart.
He can pretend to be King Hao, but King Xiao Hao, who really treats Ru'er as a sister and makes fun of everyone around him, but actually thinks of them in his heart, will really never come back.
Maybe she was overjoyed, maybe she was punished by kneeling before, but Ru'er cried hard, cried out all the grievances and fears in her heart over the past few years, and then fell asleep in a daze.
Ji Changze picked her up and carried her to the couch. It was not that people outside heard Ru'er's cry, but no one dared to come in to see what was going on.
They guessed in their hearts that His Highness might have come up with another way to punish Ru'er.
Hey, I heard that Ru'er used to be the most proud person around His Highness, and she never forgot to take her with her wherever she went. No one thought at the beginning that she would be able to make His Highness dislike her like this.
Everyone was sympathetic, but they didn't dare to help, for fear that if they made His Highness unhappy, they would be the next unlucky person.
Ji Changze opened the door, frowned and looked at the people standing outside. After they stood there tremblingly for a while, he said in a slow and hesitant tone: "Ru'er fainted, please call a doctor. It's okay." Taking care of it.”
He took two steps, looked at the palace attendants suspiciously, and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?"
Someone from the palace hurriedly knelt down carefully and whispered: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is worshiping the Buddha."
Ji Changze strode out. Some people wanted to follow him, but he yelled back: "No one is allowed to follow. I have to go there by myself."
As expected, no one in the palace dared to move anymore, for fear of offending the little ancestor.
When Ji Changze arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, he took a special detour to the place where King Xiao Hao fell into the water. He looked at the clear water inside, stood there and recited the Rebirth Mantra silently in his heart before leaving.
It was rare for him to meet such an unlucky child who died unjustly like King Hao, whose reputation was ruined even after his death, and whose own body was used to kill his relatives. The recitation of the death curse was a bit unfamiliar, but it was better than nothing.
The Queen Mother was worshiping the Buddha. When she came out, she heard that His Royal Highness King Hao was here.
She was delighted.
Nagasawa hasn't come to see her for a long time, and I don't know what happened to the child. He used to come to see her often, but in recent years, he has become less and less fond of coming here, as if it was because of the change of palace maid. angry.
Her son was angry because of such a trivial matter, and the Queen Mother was deeply saddened. She could only comfort herself that maybe the child was too young, and now was the time when he didn't like to listen to others' advice. It would be fine after a while.
"This child, are you here at this hour to have a meal at the Ai family?"
The Queen Mother stood up with a smile and was helped out.
As soon as he went out, the fifteen-year-old His Highness King Hao came forward with eager steps and a look of anxiety and panic on his face.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, what's going on? I just took a nap, but why did I grow up so much when I woke up, and the entire palace was changed to only sister Ru'er."
