Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

The atmosphere in the palace was particularly solemn. Erkang, Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Dong'er and Nan'er received the emperor's summons and hurried to the emperor's bedroom. Along the way, everyone was full of doubts and worries, not knowing why the emperor summoned them this time.

Everyone came to the bedroom, and after paying their respects, the emperor leaned weakly against the head of the bed, looked at them, and slowly said, "Children, I want to tell you something today. I have concealed this for a long time, but now it is time to tell you."

Xiaoyanzi asked anxiously, "Father Emperor, what's the matter with you? Please tell us what's the matter. We are so worried!"

The emperor sighed softly and said, "I...I am the one who was reborn."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and stared at the emperor with wide eyes.

Yong Qi said in disbelief: "Father Emperor, this...how is this possible? Rebirth is too bizarre!"

The emperor smiled bitterly and continued, "I know it's hard for you to believe, but this is true. Before I was reborn, the story starts from when Xiaoyanzi entered the palace. At that time, everything was different from now. Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi, you went to Dali, Yunnan and lived with Xiaojian and Qing'er for decades. It was not until I passed away at the age of eighty-nine that you entered the palace to see me for the last time. After I passed away, I don't know why, but I was reborn to the time when Xiaoyanzi had just entered the palace."

Ziwei covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Father Emperor, this is too unbelievable! Then... then isn't this life very different from the last one?"

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Yes, many things are different. For example, in the last life, you let Hanxiang and Mengdan go, which caused a huge uproar. In the end, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Erkang, Yongqi, and Ziwei's maids Jinsuo and Xiaojian all fled together. But in this life, I will not let that happen, so everything has changed."

Xiaoyanzi recalled the days in the palace in this life and said, "Father, no wonder things feel much smoother in this life. It turns out there is a reason. However, the Empress was not kind to us in the last life. She always treated us viciously. In this life, she is very nice to us."

The emperor nodded gently and said, "Yes, in the last life, the queen was indeed cruel and made things difficult for you. But in this life, perhaps God has blessed us, the atmosphere in the palace has become much more harmonious, and the queen is no longer the same as in the last life. And, Dong'er, do you know that you didn't marry Nan'er in the last life? Nan'er has been living in Yunnan and doesn't know you at all. And, in the last life, Zhihua was a scheming woman who always interfered between you, but in this life, Zhihua is actually a kind girl."

Dong Er scratched his head and said, "Grandpa Emperor, the changes in the world are really unexpected!"

Nan'er also said, "Yes, if Grandpa Huang hadn't mentioned it today, we wouldn't have thought of this. But Grandpa Huang, is what you said related to your illness this time?"

The emperor's expression became serious, and he said, "I also think there is something fishy about this illness. I guess it may be related to the sect that Xuanfeng belongs to. They have been looking for reborn people, and want to use the power of reborn people to achieve their ulterior motives. I am worried that they have already discovered my identity, so they have secretly done something to me."

Yong Qi frowned and said, "Father Emperor, Xuan Feng mentioned before a herb called Lingxi Grass. He said that if you want to control a reborn person, you need this herb. Moreover, this herb is extremely rare and only grows in a mysterious valley. Xiao Jian and I are going to look for it in that valley. Maybe we can find clues to save you."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "Okay, Yongqi, you and Xiao Jian must be careful on this trip. The conspiracy behind this is probably not simple. My safety is a small matter, but don't let this evil force succeed. It will endanger the people of the world and that will be a big deal."

Xiaoyanzi clenched her fists and said, "Father Emperor, don't worry! We will definitely find the Lingxi grass and catch those bad guys. Let them know the consequences of those who dare to harm you!"

Ziwei also said: "That's right, Father Huang, you should take good care of yourself. We will stay here to watch over you and keep an eye on the situation of Yongqi and Xiaojian. If we work together, we will definitely get through this difficult time."

Erkang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will do our best."

Just as everyone was discussing the next plan, a young eunuch hurried into the palace and reported in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's bad! A group of people who claim to be Xuanfeng's fellow disciples came outside the palace and made trouble at the palace gate. They said that we should hand over Xuanfeng, otherwise they would force their way into the palace!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

Yong Qi said angrily: "These guys dare to come and cause trouble! They are so arrogant!"

Little Swallow also jumped up and said, "Humph! Do they think the palace is a place where they can run wild as they please? Come on, let's go and take a look. I'll beat the crap out of them!"

Ziwei quickly grabbed Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, don't be impulsive. We have to think of a comprehensive way to deal with it. We can't be reckless."

The emperor sat up straight and said seriously, "Children, don't be careless about this matter. Since they dare to cause trouble, they must be well prepared. Erkang, take some guards to the palace gate to calm them down and see what they want to do. Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, Dong'er, Nan'er, you stay and let's discuss countermeasures."

Erkang took the order and left, while Yongqi and others surrounded the emperor's bed and continued to discuss how to deal with this sudden crisis and how to find the Lingxi grass as soon as possible to save the emperor. Everyone's face was filled with solemnity and determination.
