"In the seventeenth year of the Wei Dynasty, the emperor searched for witchcraft and poisonous things from the East Palace. Long Yan was furious and ordered the prince Chu Changxun to be deposed and imprisoned in Nanxiang. He will not be able to come out again."
After receiving the message from the system, Gu Yao was already used to it. There will always be some unlucky people in this world. It's so normal!
"Go on," Gu Yao waved her hands indifferently without raising her eyes, "I can bear it."
The system coughed lightly. It resided in the host's brain and could feel the host's emotions. It seemed that the host had become immune after hearing too many tragic stories.
"Chu Changxun was deposed as the crown prince and imprisoned in Nanxiang. In his place, it was the third prince who gained the emperor's favor and married Chu Changxunruo's original fiancée Xie Yan'er.
Three years later, the emperor learned the truth. The fact of the witchcraft was framed by the third prince, and he regretted it too much. However, Chu Changxun had suffered so much in Nanxiang for the past three years, and he was already hopeless, numb, and unable to recover. Even after he came out, he was already a cripple. "
The system said very calmly, because like the host, it has long been accustomed to strange things. There are too many unlucky ones, so they need to be rescued!
"Let's get started!"
Gu Yao stood up from the chair skillfully and closed her eyes. Then a dazzling white light flashed, transforming from her cozy little bedroom to another space.
"Why is there such a musty smell!"
Gu Yao stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, looking at the small shabby room with disgust.
Realizing that he was wearing a bright red wedding dress, he quickly used the wide sleeves as a face towel to cover his mouth and nose. He seemed to be wearing a heavy hair crown, and when he reached out and touched it, he was covered with cold hair accessories.
"Host, this is the place where the deposed prince was demoted. Do you think it can be the same as the East Palace?"
The system smiled evilly, but fortunately it couldn't feel these smells.
"I seem to understand why Chu Changxun became desperate and numb, and suddenly fell from the clouds into the quagmire. After living in such a bad place for three years, everyone would go crazy!"
Gu Yao frowned and looked at the only two tables and two chairs in the room. The legs of the tables and chairs were all uneven, and there were cracks on them if you looked closely.
The walls were so damp that it looked like moss had grown on them, and there was a strange smell. The sheets and bedding were all black and a little shiny. Just looking at them gave me goosebumps all over my body.
It seemed that except for her wedding dress, there was not a single clean thing in the whole house!
"Ah! God!"
Gu Yao covered her face in pain. Even she, an ordinary person who was not rich in the 21st century, could not bear this kind of environment, let alone the prince whose status was second only to the emperor in the feudal dynasty!
No wonder I feel hopeless, no wonder I feel helpless...
"Host, please cheer up. You will live here as Chu Changxun's wife. You must revive his numb heart until the emperor discovers the truth and regains the position of prince!"
System clenched his fists to encourage him.
"Wife? Didn't you say that when the emperor ordered the door of Nanxiang to be opened, Chu Changxun was the only one who came out?"
Gu Yao took off her loose coat and spread it on the bed, then sat down on the clothes. She didn't want to touch the black sheets!
"Before Chu Changxun was deposed, there was a quasi-princess, the prime minister's daughter Xie Yan'er, who is the host's current sister.
Xie Yan'er is now the third prince's concubine. To be precise, the host was sent in as a show-off object by the third prince and his wife! "
Gu Yao probably knew what was going on. Life in Nanxiang was difficult, and Chu Changxun could barely survive it, but the fragile young lady from the prime minister's house would definitely not be able to survive it, and she would probably die in Nanxiang.
"Does Xie Yan'er have any grudge against her concubine? She sent her to the South Alley with the obvious intention of killing her!"
The system quickly searched and found, "There is indeed such a thing. The late mother of the concubine was quite popular with Prime Minister Xie. Xie Yan'er is seeking revenge for her mother!"
"ah!"
Gu Yao fell on the bed in despair. Chu Changxun was the deposed prince, and she was the concubine who had a grudge against her sister-in-law. This was simply hell mode!
"Host, get up quickly, Chu Changxun is coming in."
Gu Yao quickly got up and straightened her clothes. After all, the prince was once a serious prince and he didn't dare to fool around. But it was obvious that she was overthinking.
The dilapidated house door was opened, and a lifeless person came in. He was slender but ridiculously thin. The bones of the hand holding the plate were almost visible, and his eyes were desperate and numb.
Gu Yao blinked her eyes sympathetically. It was hard to believe that this prince who was once inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people seemed to have been severely tortured and was really in complete despair.
Chu Changxun sat on the wooden chair minding his own business, picked up the cold steamed buns on the plate and ate the cold porridge one by one, his eyes still numb.
Gu Yao picked up her skirt and walked over, squatting down and looking at the hardened steamed buns and solidified porridge. Even she would find it difficult to swallow these things. It was hard to believe that a person who was once a prince could still eat them. With relish.
"It's winter now, and you're so thin. Eating these cold things is not good for your stomach..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Yao immediately wanted to slap herself. If there were other delicious foods, who would want to eat these!
"System, did I get anything as a dowry when I got married? Did I get anything to eat? It's impossible for my father, the prime minister, to really ask me to die, right?"
"I'm sorry, it's true!" The system spread its hands helplessly, "Xie Yan'er is now the third prince's concubine. The third prince is the most trusted person by the emperor at the moment, so the prime minister chose Xie Yan'er and gave up on you!"
Gu Yao immediately took a breath of cold air, her face full of despair.
"The imperial edict to abolish the crown prince was issued half a year ago," Chu Changxun swallowed a mouthful of cold steamed buns, "I'm sorry to involve you and suffer."
"Ah? It's okay, don't get me wrong!"
Gu Yao quickly waved her hand. Chu Changxun's heart was already fragile enough. She couldn't make it worse!
After falling into a long silence, Gu Yao squatted on the ground and watched Chu Changxun finish eating, leaving two steamed buns behind, and then watched him lie down on the dirty bed without taking off his shoes or clothes. .
But I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the side where her clothes were laid was left exposed.
Gu Yao really couldn't stand it anymore. She felt that every pore on her body was resisting. She was a mysophobic person. She felt uncomfortable all over her body from the moment she appeared in this room!
He took a deep breath, then stood up and walked to the bed to lift the person lying on the bed. Because the other person was too thin, he was easily grabbed by the arm and lifted up.
"No matter what kind of suffering you suffer, life must go on, not to mention you were once a prince! The East Palace you live in is a thousand times better than this shabby house. Did you give up in despair just because of one failure? ?”
Gu Yao persuaded her earnestly. She could not reveal the development of the incident. She could not directly say that the emperor would find out the truth in three years. She could only persuade her at first.
But it was obvious that the effect was not significant, Chu Changxun was still confused, and the numbness in his eyes did not reduce at all.
"Do you know what it means that you are still alive in South Alley?"
"Shut up!"
Gu Yao rolled her eyes in her heart.
"Um…"
Chu Changxun nodded slightly and responded. It was amazing. He really knew how to make the mattress just now, and he did it himself.
Until the moment I lay on the bed again, I still couldn't believe it. I turned my head and glanced at the person sleeping next to me, and I couldn't tell what it felt like.
Xie Yaner is gentle and dignified, why is her concubine so eccentric?
Gu Yao was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Her purpose in coming to this world was to complete her mission, and she would leave after the mission was completed.
Gu Yao got up at dawn the next day. Of course, she got up so early to warn the palace attendants in Nanxiang.
During the three years of Chu Changxun's life in Nanxiang, these servants of the palace had cheated and cheated, and they had received orders from the third prince and deliberately neglected them.
And Chu Changxun, the pride of heaven, fell one step further and was left to fend for himself, so his body was completely disabled in the past three years.
"Chu Changxun is indeed the legitimate son of the late empress. He still has some affection from the emperor. Even though he was demoted to Nanxiang, he also arranged for some palace servants to take care of basic food, clothing and daily life."
The system saw the environment in South Alley through Gu Yao's eyes and shook its head.
"The more delicate and gorgeous the porcelain is, the easier it is to break."
Gu Yao rubbed her hands vigorously. It was getting cold now. When she went to bed last night, she still felt that the bedding was too thin. Fortunately, there was a system in place, otherwise she would have caught a cold.
There are several houses in the west of the South Alley where the palace people live. They are not allowed to live in them. Half a year ago, they were stunned when they heard that the famous Crown Prince was demoted to the South Alley.
At first, I went to serve him with trepidation, but later I saw that it was probably impossible for the deposed prince to leave, so I simply didn't care.
I can use whatever I have first, just to keep the deposed prince from starving to death. If something happens, the third prince will be there too!
While a group of palace people were drinking hot porridge around the table, the door was suddenly kicked open.
"What time is it! Hot water and breakfast haven't been delivered yet!"
Gu Yao no longer wore a long skirt with wide sleeves, but changed the style and tightened the sleeves. She was not in the East Palace now, she had to work in person.
A group of palace people were stunned and didn't know what to say. They all knew that the Prime Minister's Palace had sent a concubine lady over, but they also received orders from the third prince, saying that they didn't need to take it seriously.
But why does it look like this concubine lady is a bit difficult to deal with?
After discovering the witchcraft book and dragon robe from the prince's east palace, Emperor Long Yan was furious and deposed Prince Xiuwen.
When King Cheng was ordered to arrest him, Prince Xiuwen refused to be brought to justice. He was blinded during the resistance and had his right hand cut off. He was imprisoned in the Xici Alley outside the palace and never heard from him again.
The art of witchcraft is really terrible for the emperor, whose body is gradually declining.
He no longer remembers that this is the eldest son of whom he is proud. He only knows that Prince Xiuwen has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and he has won the hearts of the people. He is afraid that he has had the intention to usurp the throne, so he should deal with it earlier in order to keep his kingdom. .
