All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

During the half month that Chen Yuan was practicing silently.

The Daqian Imperial City has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The disciples of Xuantian Sect, led by Lin Yusheng, brought the Imperial Guards and searched everywhere in the Imperial City for Chen Yuanju's hideout, turning the Imperial City upside down.

As a result, the flower thief Chen Yuan was not discovered, but several shocking cases were solved, causing shock to the entire imperial city.

For example, among the Daqian officials who were usually highly respected, it was unexpected that quite a number of them would linger in Zuihualou at night. When they were tracked down, as many as a dozen officials came out of the brothel in disheveled clothes, including the queen's family members.

Several military commanders in charge of the palace gates usually enriched themselves by collecting money from passing palace maids, eunuchs, and guards. They took bribes and extorted as much as eight million taels of silver.

During an inspection in the palace, he even discovered that a concubine was secretly exchanging love letters with a peddler outside the palace. In the past few years, the number of love letters they exchanged had reached more than 200. The emperor was immediately furious and ordered the death of the concubine and the peddler.

Chen Yuan had been living a carefree life these days. He sneaked into the imperial kitchen, took away the roast chicken and wine, and then found a quiet place. While drinking, he couldn't help laughing after listening to the gossip of the palace maids and eunuchs nearby.

"How funny! Cheng Xiaowan slandered me as a flower thief and brought Lin Yusheng and Yunxiang to arrest me, but they never dreamed that I was in the palace. It seems that these women don't have any great abilities. It's been half a month, and I'm still eating and drinking well in the palace!"

After a satisfying meal, Chen Yuan sneaked into the princess's palace. He wanted to hear what Cheng Xiaowan and Lin Yusheng were talking about him behind his back.

As the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will block it, and when water comes, the soil will cover it.

If I knew the plans and strategies of these women in advance, I would be able to deal with them.

"Sect Master Lin, it's already been half a month."

Cheng Xiaowan spoke to Lin Yusheng and Yunxiang below with a slightly complaining tone.

"Didn't you promise me before that Chen Yuan must be in the imperial city? I even asked my father to assign the imperial guards to you. Why haven't you arrested Chen Yuan yet?"

"Chen Yuan has retreated into hiding and has made up his mind not to show up. Or maybe Chen Yuan had heard that Master was sending people to catch him, and he was so scared that he left Daqian long ago. Even if Master brought more people, he couldn't catch him."

Yunxiang was speaking for Lin Yusheng at this moment.

After all, in her opinion, the failure to capture Chen Yuan was not the fault of Lin Yusheng.

She also followed Lin Yusheng to capture Chen Yuan. They had turned the entire Daqian Imperial City upside down, but could not find any trace of Chen Yuan.

She even doubted whether Cheng Yuan had left the Daqian Palace.

"Yun Xiang is right. Chen Yuan, the evil disciple, may have gone to practice somewhere else. Right now, for some reason, the spiritual energy near Daqian is becoming increasingly weak. I and many other sect disciples have noticed that his cultivation is slow."

Lin Yusheng had a cold expression, and her long gown danced in the wind.

"Daqian is not a place to stay for long. I have been traveling with many disciples of Tianxuan Sect for half a month. I should go back to deal with the affairs of the sect and speed up my cultivation to catch up with Chen Yuan."

Lin Yusheng slowly walked to Cheng Xiaowan's side and said.

"Practice?"

Having said that, Cheng Xiaowan, who had been immersed in her position as a ***, felt a little confused.

Although he was Chen Yuan's servant in his previous life, under his scolding, his cultivation strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he became a saint in his previous life.

On the contrary, after her rebirth, she returned to her ancestral home and indulged herself in the gentleness of the Daqian Palace. After becoming a princess, her cultivation was very low and she had made no progress.

Perhaps I should also practice harder.

Otherwise, the other eight women who followed Chen Yuan would have made rapid progress in their cultivation.

I only have the title of princess, but my cultivation has always lagged behind, and I am not willing to accept this.

"Princess, since Chen Yuan cannot be caught from beginning to end, I will leave some Tianxuan disciples here to search for him. If I get any news about Chen Yuan's whereabouts, I will come to Daqian Palace again."

Having said this, Lin Yusheng raised his eyes, looked at Cheng Xiaowan in front of him and spoke earnestly.

"You are now the princess of the Daqian Empire. You are second only to the emperor and above everyone else. You should stay in Daqian and practice hard."

Wait until Lin Yusheng finishes speaking.

Yunxiang also said the same thing to Cheng Xiaowan.

"Master is right. Chen Yuan is not entangled with us right now. He must be hiding in some excellent training place, practicing secretly. By then, his cultivation level will surpass ours by a large margin. Then we can't fall behind. I will follow Master back and practice well."

After Lin Yusheng and Yunxiang left, Chen Yuan, who was hiding silently in a big tree behind the princess's palace, listened to the entire conversation between the three women in his previous life while drinking some wine.

As expected, Lin Yusheng was worthy of being the leader of the Tianxuan Sect. He could guess so quickly that he was practicing hard.

However, Lin Yusheng still didn't know that he had never left the Daqian Palace from beginning to end.

……

Ever since Lin Yusheng left with a group of disciples from Xuantian Sect, although the entire Daqian Imperial City was still searching for Chen Yuan's whereabouts, it was obvious that they were not on guard as strictly as they had been in the previous half month.

Because Cheng Xiaowan is sick.

She was lying on the luxurious bed in the princess' palace, with a high fever, pale face, and even talking in her sleep.

“Master, please, Wan’er doesn’t want to do chores anymore.

"Wan'er, I don't want to chop wood or fetch water anymore. Wan'er is really tired."

In a trance, Cheng Xiaowan, lying on the bed, dreamed again of the scene in her previous life when Chen Yuan enslaved her.

She was born with a mysterious ice body, and her physique was very fragile. She felt very tired after doing just a little work.

But her master ordered her to do such heavy slave work every day, saying it was for her own good, but it really made her physically and mentally exhausted.

She gritted her teeth and persevered, and finally held on until Chen Yuan took in eight other women, and she followed the other eight women and became part of his harem.

Everyone became a saint.

But she was always depressed and unhappy in her heart.

"Wan'er, drink it quickly. This is the medicine prepared by the imperial physician for you. Drink it quickly. Your illness will be cured once you finish it!"

The queen, with a kind face, brought over a bowl of black medicine, which was rich and mellow, and coaxed Cheng Xiaowan to get up.

The emperor and the prince standing behind her also looked very gentle and spoke to Wan'er.

"Wan'er, don't sleep anymore. Get up quickly, take the medicine early, and get well. You will always be my most caring little princess."

"Yes, Imperial Sister, since you came back, you have fallen ill before we could take good care of you. Take the medicine quickly."

Wan'er was pulled up in a daze and sat on the bed. She heard the emperor, the queen, and her brother, who loved her so much, all hoping that she would get better soon.

"Thank you, Father, Mother, and Brother!"

Although Cheng Xiaowan looked pale, she was still very happy in her heart.
