Hey, you are reborn too?

"Good boy," Concubine Chen stroked Jiang Mian's hair lovingly, "You are our Beili's greatest hope."

Jiang Mian blinked silently.

He knew that the woman in front of him could be as gentle as water, but also as cruel as a snake.

She was the one who protected me and grew up with me since I was a child, but she was also the one who fed me a cycle of life and death when I was born, making my life worse than death every time the poison attacked me.

Speaking of which, when Concubine Chen raised him, he was extremely independent, reserved, and strong.

She never asked the emperor for anything because she gave birth to a prince for Dayuan.

The only exception was when she asked Emperor Dayuan for Jiang Mian's courtesy name on his fourteenth birthday.

Jiang Mian himself only learned the news that his mother was going to ask for a courtesy name for him on the eve of his birthday banquet.

He was extremely puzzled. Didn't most men choose a name at the age of 20? Why was his mother so anxious?

Concubine Chen had no intention of explaining to him and made her request to the emperor right there and then at the birthday banquet.

The emperor looked puzzled, but due to Concubine Chen's pleading and considering Jiang Ming's birthday, he waved his hand and named Jiang Mian "Wumeng".

It was not until his fifteenth birthday that Jiang Mian learned that the reason his mother had forced his father to give him a courtesy name in advance was because there was a curse on Beili.

Beili's holy sons all died before the age of fifteen. Either they were born weak and died early before the age of fifteen, or they died in various accidents on the eve of their fifteenth birthday.

According to the mother, those holy sons encountered all kinds of strange accidents. Some were assassinated, some died of starvation, and some died suddenly. In short, on the eve of their fifteenth birthday, they could not escape the word "death".

Jiang Mian's light-colored eyes and extraordinary talent also revealed his identity as the Holy Son of Beili.

At least Concubine Chen treated him as a revenge machine. How could she bear to see such a useful thing that she had raised for more than ten years disappear like this?

She then found the "fate master" of the Tianhong Sect - Beili's former national teacher, the one who had cursed Beili on behalf of Dayuan.

The curse he placed on Beili was that all newborn holy sons of Beili would die before the age of fifteen.

And the Holy Son of Beili who had the good fortune to reach adulthood would become extremely sick, bedridden, and die soon.

However, Beili has a strong vitality and has been lying on his sickbed until now. Only recently did he show signs of dying.

Coincidentally, this curse was cast by Concubine Chen who asked the "fate master" to do it.

The former Prince of Beili, now the Emperor of Beili, launched a coup, plotted to kill the old emperor, and imprisoned the old emperor's favorite Saint Beili.

However, no matter how much he planned, he never expected that the old emperor would give the Tianhong Sect, the organization passed down from generation to generation by the Beili Saint Son and Saint Daughter, to the Beili Saint Daughter.

The former Saint of Beili, now Imperial Concubine Chen, is under house arrest. How can she, who has always been proud, endure such humiliation?

She hated him. She hated her own brother for killing her father and for changing her father's decree of succession.

At that time, the Saint Lady Beili had no soldiers and no power, and at least on the surface, she could not compete with her brother.

Seeing that she couldn't force it, Concubine Chen gritted her teeth and took a ruthless approach.

She asked the "life master" to go to the Dayuan Palace to offer advice and use the blood of the Dayuan emperor to curse Beili and his children.

Concubine Chen originally wanted to curse her brother and the holy son and daughter he gave birth to.

But the "fate master" told her seriously that this kind of curse spell was extremely dangerous and the conditions were extremely harsh.

Because Concubine Chen's brother is of Beili royal blood, and now he has successfully ascended the throne and is blessed by Beili's national fortune, if one wants to curse him, one must obtain the same true dragon bloodline.

In other words, the blood of Emperor Dayuan must be obtained.

As for cursing all his holy sons and daughters, this is difficult, but not impossible. It just may result in mutual destruction.

The so-called mutual destruction means that the target of this curse will be all the saints and holy maidens of Beili.

In this way, Concubine Chen, as a saint, will definitely be affected.

When Concubine Chen was wavering, the "fate master" came up with another idea.

Curse all the holy sons of Beili, and curse that Beili will never give birth to a holy daughter.

When Concubine Chen heard this, she found it was exactly what she had expected, so she agreed immediately and asked the "person in charge of destiny" to rush to the Dayuan Palace overnight.

Everything went smoothly, and she got her wish and entered the Dayuan Palace as the Holy Maiden.

She had no intention of vying for favor. She just wanted to stay quietly in the Dayuan Palace for a while. When Emperor Beili died and there were no more saint sons or saint daughters in Beili, she would return to Beili in a domineering manner and rule the world.

But Beili's current tenacious vitality really exceeded her and the "fate master's" expectations.

The "fate master" had solemnly sworn to her that within two years, Beili would be dead.

Imperial Concubine Chen waited anxiously for three years in the Dayuan Palace, and the news she received was that although Current Emperor Beili was bedridden, his mind was still clear and he was able to review memorials independently. Although one of his feet had already stepped into the coffin, the other foot was firmly stuck outside, and this foot had been stuck for three years.

Concubine Chen couldn't wait any longer. In the cannibalistic harem of Dayuan, the Queen Mother ignored her, while the Queen suppressed her everywhere because she was jealous of her beauty.

Concubine Chen wanted to hide her shortcomings, but she was born beautiful and was still very bright and charming even without makeup. No matter how ugly she made herself look, she could not dispel the Queen's vigilance.

During the three years she spent in Dayuan's harem, Concubine Chen had had enough of the cold stares, the beatings, and the rotten rice.

However, even so, the Queen was still not satisfied. She always had Concubine Chen woke up in the middle of the night and asked her to do various things every night for different reasons, thus wasting Concubine Chen's sleep, making her look haggard and no longer having the capital to seduce the Emperor.

Concubine Chen was trying to hold on, but after a month without sleep, she found that she was really starting to look haggard. Her hair was dull, her face was sallow, and she was in low spirits all day. During the day, when she was washing clothes, she almost dropped the pestle on her hand and broke her fingers.

Concubine Chen could no longer tolerate it. In the past three years, she had come to realize that if she wanted to live legitimately in the harem of Dayuan, she must have real status and position.

As a woman from a foreign ethnic group, it was impossible for her to become a queen mother or emperor with real say, let alone a queen.

She thought about it and decided that even if it was just to get a good night's sleep, she should try her best to be a favorite concubine.

Anyway, didn't the Queen always bring up her face, saying openly or secretly that she was a vixen and would seduce the Emperor one day?

Concubine Chen looked at the dark circles under her eyes reflected on the surface of the stream, and her five fingers clenched tightly, her fists unconsciously tightening.

Queen, I never thought of competing with you for your favor, you forced me to do it!

After that day, Concubine Chen took advantage of her beauty and generosity to extract a lot of information about the emperor from the palace maids and eunuchs.

One night, a little palace maid stumbled into Concubine Chen's residence and told her with a wink that the emperor was drunk at the banquet tonight.

How could Concubine Chen miss such a good opportunity? She rewarded the little palace maid with some things and went straight to the palace where the emperor had to pass by to wait.
