The Rebirth of the Stormy Prosperity Strategy

Although the palace was heavily guarded, it was not a difficult task for Mu Qingxue.

After sneaking into the palace, she quietly released a woman who was forced to be sold into the palace as a maid, and successfully entered the palace using her identity. At this time, there were still six days left before the day of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Although she entered the palace smoothly, as a maid of the lowest level, she could not get in touch with Her Royal Highness the Princess, which became a problem for her.

What puzzled her was that the princess' birthday was approaching, but there was no sense of celebration in the palace. Instead, everyone seemed to have no feelings and only cared about their own things.

"Oh, I'm confused." She asked a maid who had grown up with her, "The princess' birthday is coming up soon, why is there no news from the palace?"

"Princess?" The maid felt a little strange: "Which princess?"

"Princess Baili Suxue."

The maid was shocked when she heard her words and quickly covered her mouth: "Which poor mountain valley did you come from? Don't you know that Her Royal Highness the Princess disappeared eleven years ago? Who in the palace dares to mention this mistress now?"

disappeared!

"How could this happen..." Mu Qingxue lowered her head. This part was not in the novel. Shouldn't Baili Suxue be the princess who grew up in a sugar jar? How could she disappear? If this was true, what would Master do?

"I also heard it from an elderly woman in the palace." The maid next to him was still chattering, "It is said that the princess was abducted by a Taoist priest. At that time, the queen was seriously ill. Someone said that asking a Taoist priest to cast a spell could exorcise the evil spirit. Your Majesty believed it and found a Taoist priest who said he was very powerful, but the Taoist priest was a liar. When Your Majesty rushed to the Royal Courtyard, the queen was already dead and the princess was missing, so Your Majesty ordered all the Taoist priests to be killed."

"What are you yelling about!" At some point, a ferocious-looking nanny appeared behind the two of them and scolded the little palace maid in a foul-mouthed manner.

Mu Qingxue clenched her fists. Baili Suxue was missing, so it would be impossible to tell her about the rebellion through Baili Suxue. How else could she tell her now? Did she really have to go to the extent of fighting to the death?

What if she went to tell the emperor herself, and the emperor didn't believe her and dragged her out and beheaded her without any investigation?

But if we don’t do this, what should the Master do?

"What are you all doing?" Another nanny came from behind, but this nanny was different from the others. She looked quite noble.

"Oh, hello, Aunt Gui." The originally ferocious-looking aunt immediately turned into a well-behaved little cat when she saw Aunt Gui.

Aunt Gui was just passing by, but when she saw Mu Qingxue among the three, her brows slightly frowned and she walked up to her: "What's your name?"

"Xiaoxue." Mu Qingxue replied.

"Keep your head up."

Mu Qingxue looked up obediently. Aunt Gui nodded and said, "Resemble them, very much like them. How much younger are you this year?"

"Twenty-four years old."

"If that person were still alive, he would be as old as you." She sighed and said, "I'll take this maid away."

As she spoke, Nanny Gui led Mu Qingxue away and came to the Imperial Library.

"Whether you can fly up to the tree and become a phoenix depends on your own luck." Aunt Gui raised her chin and looked at her: "Remember, do more and talk less."

"Yes." Mu Qingxue pushed the door open with a confused look on her face. As soon as she entered, the girl who was grinding ink for His Majesty at the desk was really scared. They looked at least 50% alike.

She quickly lowered her head and offered the tea. His Majesty did not look at her, but just sipped the tea slowly: "Was this tea brewed by Madam Gui?"

"Yes." Mu Qingxue replied.

"She's making..." His Majesty looked up and was about to say something, but when he saw Mu Qingxue beside him, the teacup in his hand immediately fell to the ground with a noise.

According to the rules, they should kneel down, so Mu Qingxue and the girl who was grinding ink immediately knelt down and lowered their heads.

"Hurry up." His Majesty helped Mu Qingxue up and touched her face: "Xue'er, after so many years, you are finally willing to come to see your father."

"Ah?" Mu Qingxue was confused: "Your Majesty, did you recognize the wrong person? I am just a young maid who has just entered the palace."

"Maid?" His Majesty realized belatedly, "You look exactly like my lost little daughter."

Mu Qingxue murmured quietly in her heart: "Brother, a thirteen-year-old girl and a twenty-four-year-old, do you think they look alike? Won't your daughter ever grow up?"

"Your Majesty." Aunt Gui walked in from outside. When His Majesty saw her coming in, he immediately waved her over: "Aunt Gui, look, doesn't this girl look a lot like Xue'er?"

"They are very similar." Aunt Gui said, "And this girl is also named Xue'er."

"Really?" His Majesty's eyes turned back to Mu Qingxue, and suddenly his eyes went dark and he fainted.

-

Watching the imperial physicians coming in and out, Mu Qingxue leaned against the red pillar and sighed: "What's going on?" She looked up at the sky: "When I traveled through time, the original owner's body was eleven years old, and Baili Suxue was also eleven years old when she disappeared. Could it be... No, no, why did she disappear? And why did she meet Master?"

"Young lady." Before she knew it, Aunt Gui came up behind her and asked, "Do you want to be a princess?"

"Ah?" Mu Qingxue was confused: "But I'm not."

"You will be." Aunt Gui pointed at the girl who was grinding ink and said, "That person is Princess Tang Lu, the most noble lady in the court."

"What? She is the Princess Tang Lu, no wonder..." Mu Qingxue thought to herself: No wonder she is so arrogant and domineering, but how could she, with such high standards, fall for that stupid guy Xu Ding?

"It was I who personally sent her to this position." Nanny Gui sighed, "At that time, she was only fifteen years old when she was sold into the palace by her parents. She was four or five points similar to the missing princess. In order to ease your majesty's grief over losing her daughter, I brought her to your majesty. It's a pity that such a good girl was blinded by power. She is arrogant and domineering, and she is bullying others under the name of the second Princess Su Xue. I heard that this time she wanted to recruit a young man to be her concubine, but he refused, so she wanted to chop off his head privately. How can I let such a person stay with your majesty?"

"Madame Gui..." Mu Qingxue finally remembered who this person was. She was the real mother of the late Queen Baili. When the Queen was canonized, His Majesty wanted to canonize her as a third-rank lady, but she politely declined in order to take care of the Queen and became a madam to accompany the Queen. Baili Suxue was the child she watched grow up. When the mutiny occurred, she protected him with her life, and Baili Suxue was able to escape.

"Your Majesty is awake!"

Princess Tang Lu, who was standing at the door, rushed in immediately and lay beside the bed crying, "Father, you finally woke up. You scared me to death."

His Majesty reached out and touched her head: "Where is that little maid? Ask her to come in."

Nanny Gui led people in. His Majesty waved his hand, and Mu Qingxue walked over consciously and half-knelt beside the bed.

"Child, where is your home? Is there anyone else at home?"

"Your Majesty, I am an orphan and have no parents."

"Really?" His Majesty smiled and cried, "Then are you willing to be my daughter? There are many benefits to being my daughter. I can make you a princess and let you enjoy wealth and glory."

"Then Your Majesty, can you pardon one person?" Mu Qingxue asked.

"Who?"

"The man who refused the marriage proposal is Xu Ding."

"What!" Princess Tang Lu knelt down immediately after hearing this: "Father, no, Xu Ding openly resisted the marriage, which is disrespectful to the royal family. If we let him go, where is the dignity of the royal family?"

"This..." His Majesty was a little embarrassed.

Mu Qingxue lowered her head, and it still didn't work.

"I can't pardon him directly, but I can save his life. It depends on whether he is willing or not."

"what?"

In the prison, Xu Ding walked out of the cell under the guidance of the prisoner, and rushed to hug him: "Master!"

"Qingxue!" Xu Ding held the girl in his arms and asked, "How did you get in?"

"Master, you're fine." Mu Qingxue let him go and smiled softly, "I am now the princess of Baili Imperial City. His Majesty said that since you don't want to marry Princess Tang Lu, then marry me. Of course, this is just a title. If you don't want to, I will say that I don't like you now either and let you go back."

"No!" Xu Ding held her hand and stammered, "I am willing, I am willing, but you are a princess now, I have to find a way to prepare some generous betrothal gifts to be worthy of you."

Seeing his honest look, Mu Qingxue smiled. Although Xu Ding was the person whose memory was sealed by the master, his behavior was different from the master. The master always looked like an immortal and very reliable.

After arriving at the Chaoyang Palace, His Majesty propped himself up and sat up, waiting for his daughter and son-in-law to come and pay their respects.

The heavy door was opened, and Mu Qingxue walked in with the person beside her. Although the person was dressed simply, his elegant and gentle temperament could not be concealed.

The smile on Emperor Baili's face slowly disappeared from the moment he saw him. What flooded into his mind was the appearance of his beloved wife when she passed away and the screams of his beloved daughter in his nightmares every night.

"Father, save me——"

He could not resist the numbness throughout his body, the pain of losing his wife and daughter, the helplessness, and the sadness all attacked him at once. His chest seemed to be pressed down by a huge stone. He tried hard to break through it, and finally vomited blood.

The news of the emperor's serious illness spread throughout the country. On that dark and windy night, countless tragedies began.

In the emperor's bedroom, imperial doctors and palace maids came in and out, but the person lying inside seemed to be entangled in some beautiful dream and refused to wake up.

"Mu Qingxue, what are you doing?" Mu Qingxue looked at the person lying on the bed and clenched her fists. "Mingming, Master has been pardoned, just take him away and it will be fine. Emperor Baili has no relatives or friends with you. Being a princess means being trapped for life. Leaving now is the best opportunity!"

"Princess." Nanny Gui brought a painting and interrupted her thoughts: "Take this painting and talk to His Majesty casually."

Mu Qingxue took the painting and opened it. It showed a woman with a ten-year-old girl. She looked just like the girl, except for the enlarged version. No wonder they said she looked very much like Baili Suxue.

She walked to the emperor, opened the canvas and said with a smile: "Father, look, this is a portrait of me and my mother. Xue'er always feels that the painter's skills are superb. He painted us like fairies."

In the dream, his daughter ran towards him holding a portrait, followed by his wife. The daughter ran to his side, opened the album and said, "Father, look, this is the picture the painter drew for Xue'er and the Queen Mother. The painter drew it very well. The people are as beautiful as fairies. It's a pity that you are not in it. It would be better if you were there too."

"Father, Xue'er wants to go play with you on her birthday."

"Father is always busy and has no time to accompany Xue'er and Mother. If one day Xue'er and Mother disappear, Father will regret it."

"Father, please don't go. I'm scared. Father..."

"Xue'er, Xue'er!" The emperor woke up suddenly. There were many people in the room, but his beloved wife and daughter were not there.

"It's bad, Your Majesty." The eunuch outside the door stumbled in and shouted, "Your Majesty, someone has started a rebellion!"

Demon!

Mu Qingxue gently pushed the window open a little and looked out. The rebels came too quickly. They were outside the hall in a short while and the entire bedroom was surrounded.

The army was filled with a mixture of good and bad people, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Help me out." The emperor stretched out his hand and asked the people around him to help him up. Mu Qingxue and Xu Ding also followed him out.

"Your Majesty." The army made way for the prince in a dragon robe and walked out. "You are seriously ill and have not recovered yet, so don't come out. Let your brother take the throne for you."

While the emperor and the prince were negotiating verbally, Mu Qingxue quickly scanned the crowd. She did not have Mo Xiaolan's clear eyes and could not accurately find the strongest monster among them. She could only judge based on the place with the strongest demonic energy, and finally chose the area around the prince.

The two were unable to communicate, and in order to protect the emperor's safety, everyone retreated into the hall.

"Ahem." The emperor coughed twice, grabbed Xu Ding's hand and said, "Mu Qingfeng, you kidnapped my daughter and killed my wife. Now you come back here at this critical moment. No matter why, you must help Baili Huangcheng escape this disaster today, otherwise I will drag you down with me even if I go to hell."

"I..." Xu Ding looked confused, while Mu Qingxue turned around and looked at the two of them in surprise, thinking back to the time when she first traveled through time.
