After Xueyue realized something was wrong happening to the body she was currently occupying, she again fell unconscious and made everyone in her room especially the empress scream hysterically in anxiety.
Right at nightfall, Xueyue regained her senses and began to understand about her current state. Everyone including her mother and sister had returned to her residence. Although they insisted on settling down, but seeing Xueyue's condition, they decided to retreat first.
Xueyue's brain suddenly went crazy when she found out that her true soul was currently residing inside the body of a young girl.
Yep! The body of a girl and not a man! He doesn't know why or how. He currently ended up in a world that was not from his world. With the same name, the same family. He just has a different status. He is no longer himself in modern times. She is now in the body of a princess who is known by her princely identity since her birth from an ancient kingdom that she had never heard of before. Huo Kingdom? Where is Huo's kingdom? In the history of the world there are no records related to the history of the Huo kingdom.
Right now Xueyue could only sit cross-legged with her chin-backed hands. The other hand is on the other knee. Just like how she did it while still a tomboyish woman in her previous world. He pouted his lips with his swollen cheeks. His two eyebrows swooped sharply full of conflict.
If Zhu Guang his close friend was currently before him, it was certain that the man would knock his forehead hard. Making him no longer bend a sour face because he was afraid that his adorable look became old quickly because wrinkles quickly appeared.
Seeing how his master was bending his face with an eerie look, the two servants who had always been loyal accompanied him all this time looked at his master anxiously. They doubt whether they should speak or remain silent.
"Hope.....!" in the end, the sound of******* frustrating Xueyue who was now out of her bed made her two servants gasp in fear. Xueyue glanced sharply at the two, then said, "Say! Are you the servants I've been preparing for all this time? How did you first become a servant and end up being my personal servant?" cerocos Xueyue.
"H-huh?" the two servants were stunned for a moment. Xueyue clicked her tongue while rolling her eyeballs started to puff. He repeated the same question twice.
Xueyue simply stared intently at her two servants without bothering to say what she asked them once more.
The two maids were momentarily only able to glance at each other in a fearful and doubtful manner, then peek at the glance of his master who was still staring at them waiting for an answer.
After Xueyue regained her senses, the healer she knew named Mu Chen who had previously examined her went back to inspect. The healer came to the conclusion that the current Prince Xueyue might have sustained an injury to the memory in his head. Things that might make Prince Xueyue suddenly lose some memories in his past.
Of course it's just a guess. And Xueyue clearly knew that she was not having a brain stutter that could make her suffer from permanent amnesia. But he would not say that he was not their true Prince Shen Xueyue.
Xueyue remembered how she had died the last time. It was a tragic death for him. He didn't want to remember it, but all of those events were etched nicely into his brain memory.
.
That day, in the afternoon, a heavy rainstorm poured down on the city of A. Where Xueyue had settled back then.
"Aish!! Damn it, Chk!" the 5 ft 6 in tall teenage girl, equivalent to 167 cm, looked up into the afternoon sky outside the store after buying some snacks. Even though it is said to be afternoon, the weather shows a black sky that seems to have entered the night.
Heavy rain accompanied by thick fog flushed the city of A that day. Unfortunately, the girl really did not know that the weather forecast on this day would be so bad that she came out of the house without carrying the umbrella she always carried at all times in preparation. I don't know why he really thought that once without carrying an umbrella there would be no problem. The weather at the time he came out was really very sunny. Who knew that just as he reached the retail store, the weather changed drastically.
The girl reopened the shop door and only popped her head inside. Looking to the left, there was a twenty-five-year-old adult man standing behind the cashier table.
"Sister Guo, are there any remaining umbrellas or raincoats sold in the store?" yells.
The man called Guo turned to Xueyue with a thoughtful look. "Wait a minute. I'll try to check it out" he said, raising the slumped glasses back to the base of the nose.
The click sound several times from the barkode reader machine rang out loud beside the man named Guo Yang. The partner is serving payments from other buyers. The look on Guo Yang's slightly ugly face with the look of desperate eyes, he stared regretfully at the girl who was still patiently waiting for the results in her way.
"Xueyue, I'm sorry. The stock of umbrellas and raincoats in our shop today sold out" he said in a regretful tone.
The Xueyue could only smile dryly. Although in his heart he was a bit crap in disappointment, "Oh, I have an umbrella. How about you use it first." said Guo Yang quickly.
Xueyue hesitated a little. Whether he should take the offer given by Guo Yang, or not.
"Mh... I figured.. That's not necessary, brother."
"I really don't matter." added Guo Yang quickly, with a hasty step the man opened the door that was beside the cashier. It didn't take long before the man returned with a red umbrella and walked out of the counter to meet Xueyue, "Xueyue. This.... Holy jeez!" his screeches with horror glaring eyes looked at Xueyue.
"QUEENYUE! Don't play the phone when it's raining like this" yet his words were finished, a thunderous voice burst out right beside Xueyue.
ALDAAARRR!!
"Hiye...!!" xueyue quickly jumped to the side, with both hands clinging to the shop's door glass like a lizard stuck to the wall.
"QUEENYUE!!" a white lightning swiftly struck where Xueyue was standing as if a ferocious beast was about to pounce on its prey.
Guo Yang's warning wasn't finished yet when the lightning nearly struck the girl. It was fortunate that Xueyue dodged it by jumping to the side.
The hearts of both of them were beating very quickly when they saw the event that had just happened. Even some of the shopgoers who saw him stared at Xueyue's figure dumbfounded in fear and dismay.
Xueyue herself was still in shock at what had just happened, her eyes blankly staring at the blackened asphalt giving off a sizzling white smoke. He also looked up to see a cloudy cloud still showing white flashes behind the clouds. It was as if that lightning bolt was laughing giggling after almost slapping him so hard. Both of his ears were ringing painfully making him temporarily deaf. Guo Yang who had repeatedly tried to summon Xueyue and failed to resuscitate the girl who still looked frightened.
"Xuey!! Be aware!"
'Mama, Papa. Brother Tian. Yue'er almost died! Holy hooch!' his inner horror with a trembling body, he again stared intently full of fear at the black asphalt beside him.
"HEY!" Guo Yang was still trying to make Xueyue regain her senses while patting the girl on the shoulder a few times. The whispers from the people behind Guo Yang made Guo Yang himself sigh in frustration.
Shaking his head in frustration, Guo Yang slapped hard enough on Xueyue's cheeks, making the girl flinch and turned to Guo Yang with blank eyes still looking terrified.
"I told you. Don't play with your phone in heavy rain like this. Especially..." Guo Yang looked up circulating his gaze over the black clouds that were clumping above the sky.
ALDAAARRR!!
The sound of lightning striking back was heard many times throughout the entire time.
Guo Yang suddenly felt an unpleasant bad feeling, bad events seemed to be about to happen. See how the rain tonight is so heavy with lightning everywhere. In addition, the fog in the night that is mixed with the falling of heavy rain makes a person's vision blurred and problematic. Things that can invite death at any time, especially on the highway. Moreover, rain accompanied by strong wind storms like this is really very dangerous for highway users because the road will be covered with fog.
"seen? Lightning is everywhere... Wait inside until the rain subsides. That won't delay your work, will it? Do you have a job to do tonight?"
Guo Yang was already like a big brother to Xueyue. Guo Yang's residence was in the same building as Xueyue's apartment. Their rooms are right next door. Moreover, the shop where Guo Yang worked was about a kilometer away from their apartment. Their closeness has a reason.
Xueyue smiled clumsily, "Y-yes.. There's actually a job I need to finish tonight."
"Is that urgent?" back Guo Yang raised a question. This time he really did not want to let Xueyue go. Especially in heavy rain like this. He should be able to keep the girl in front of him inside his shop.
"Sorry brother. I can't." Xueyue said a little guiltily.
If only his phone had not died a moment ago when he tried to contact his friend, he would have definitely accepted Guo Yang's offer. Unfortunately, his phone died right after the lightning nearly struck him. He could have contacted some of his co-workers to give him waivers on his work due to the weather and his current unfavorable conditions. However, today really was an unlucky day for him.
Guo Yang exhaled a breath of despair. It seemed, Xueyue's decision had really been unanimous. Thought, "Good! You should take this umbrella. Be careful of slippery roads. The fog is quite thick, so you have to be careful with your gaze."
Xueyue could only smile gratefully at Guo Yang, "Alright Brother. Thank you and I'll take it."
"Remember! Don't play cell phones anymore, okay?!"
"I know!" his his sizzle before Xueyue actually left the shop Guo Yang worked in. It would be foolish for him to do the same just to invite lightning again. Does he want to die young? Don't silly.
Guo Yang stared at Xueyue's back which slowly began to drift away with a feeling of anxiety and worry. Somehow his heart suddenly felt bad and he had a bad feeling, that something unwanted might happen to Xueyue. But then he got rid of his bad thoughts. Shaking his head to neutralize his bad feelings before he returns to work. May Xueyue return safely. Inward, in the heart.
Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!
The faint sound of water clashing with footsteps added with the sound of increasingly heavy rain continued to be heard in Xueyue's ears. It was quite disturbing his hearing. In addition, the white lightning that repeatedly splashed in the sky produced a deafening thunderous sound. Xueyue's reflex body also repeatedly jolted and trembled violently from shock and also trauma. Especially with the incident he had just experienced in front of the store. It made him start to evoke paranoid feelings in the lightning in his heart.
Unexpectedly, just as Xueyue was about to cross at a crossroads, the sound of squeaking a slipping car tire approached towards her almost bumping into her. But luckily, the car only hit a traffic light pole not far from its standing position.
Xueyue could only scream and tightly grip the handle of the umbrella with trembling hands as she huddled beside the car making a loud 'Uiu' sound as a warning from the car's safety with horror and empty views.
Seeing the very bad weather like today, it is impossible for anyone to run just to see the incident of the car collision. With a weak staggering step and a body trembling in fear, Xueyue again stepped away from the scene of the car collision that almost hurt his life with the mouth kamit komat.
Time and again Xueyue's pompous lips chanted words of hope for her life's safety. Without looking back, the girl continued to step forward.
Upon arrival at another intersection, the only road leading to his apartment, there is a narrow alley that can only be passed in one direction for car vehicles only. On both sides of the road, there are some buildings that are not yet fully finished. However, the height of the building was more than thirty floors.
At the height of the building, there is a heavy equipment that transports several long iron beams that weigh tons. If it fell on someone down there, it was certain that the person would be blown to pieces.
And... The iron suddenly just moved uneasily as an extremely powerful lightning bolt followed with a rushing wind smashed into the heavy equipment that was hanging it. In the next instant, Xueyue who was under the building suddenly stopped her steps with her heart beating fast.
His body was jolted when he heard the sound of lightning again thundering loudly. In addition, the sound of iron chains clattering noisily in the midst of the sound of rain falling.
The night was dark, the lights dimmed, while the rain continued to fall rapidly. Lightning struck like the lighting lights that were on the concert stage, highlighting the blinding eyes. The atmosphere that night was so gripping. Making the feathers of Xueyue's nape even more full of fear. Xueyue realized her current position was very bad.
Till...
A feeling of danger overshadowed him and made his body involuntarily peek in place. Xueyue wanted to quickly leave from where she was currently standing as soon as possible. But for some reason, his legs seemed to be fixated. His heart was pounding increasingly faster, even more than a hundred and seventy beats per minute.
When Xueyue realized that an approaching danger was about to befall her, it was too late. The long iron beam hanging above the tall building just above it began to plunge and fall at a very fast speed downwards. In the next second, Xueyue could only glare more and more horror and shout very loudly.
"YYYYYY....!!!"
THE BANG!! BOOM!!
The iron smoothly fell on Xueyue's body to the point of disintegrating her unformed body. His two beautiful eyes stared blankly at the dark clouds that were struggling still throwing down the heavy rain. Rainwater continued to fall on Xueyue's face which was now covered in blood. His slightly opened lips continued to spit out blood and his ears were ringing loudly unable to hear the sound of the rain coming back.
The ear-splitting sound of water and thunder became death-sending music for him.
The next second, Xueyue was completely unaware of anything else after consciousness snatched her away.
However, he sank further into the black hole vortex like a sea whirlpool that sucked the entire boat into. His chest seemed to be filled with water and he was unable to breathe, before he finally closed his eyes again. With what is happening to him.
By the time he woke up, and knowing his current situation, he was already in a world that was out of nowhere.
It's a very strange world. Where everyone has ancient clothes like the royal era. It was like the world he used to watch when he was with his two female friends. His best friend who loves colossal drama themed royal palace or the like.
The surprising thing is, he transformed into a prince of a kingdom? WHAT THE FUCK?!! Haifa...
Although this could be considered a miracle for him because he was reborn in an ancient world.
Why did he say that this was a miracle for him? Because he had a dream of marrying a handsome and dignified man with an athletic body like an artist of cold kingdoms. That's very exciting. Moreover, they are very sexy with their long hair.
Imagining that her current young lady would marry a prince, made her a little happy. Haha!! He laughed the devil.
Yet.... Suddenly the fun didn't last long.
"Mr princess... Uh, no. I mean, Prince... We're..."
"What did you say?" xueyue's crazy smile that had secretly devised a plan maturely collapsed instantly upon hearing his servant suddenly refer to him as a prince. What does this mean?!
"I-it.." the two maids lowered their eyes with bodies shrinking in fear.
"alright. Tell me what really happened to me all this time? Tell me from the beginning. And.. Oho! I forgot to ask you what your names are." Xueyue patted her eel and looked at the two servants.
Seeing that the two maidservants looked frightened to see him, he slightly adjusted his attitude, "And... Just be more relaxed, okay? Nor will I eat you or punish you."
"Emmm.. Wh-what... Princess seriously?"
"Yes!"
In fact, the two maids were not as afraid as they were today when faced with their master. Instead they are very welcomed by their master like a friend. Only when looking at how the nature of his current master had changed drastically did they keep a little distance from fear.
In the end, with feelings of anxiety and fear, the two maids took turns telling the story of Princess Xueyue who had been an actual prince all along.
"The name of An Xi's servant. And he's An Nan, this starts the moment before you're born. So...."
.
Huo Kingdom had a King named Shen Jinglong. He is the fourth generation King. Compared to his father who has a twin brother who is still alive, king Shen Jinglong's twin brother died in the womb during childbirth due to not getting enough nutrition while still in his mother's stomach.
Luckily, Huo's kingdom, led by King Jinglong, had a tradition of succession, the kingdom was always in abundance of happiness and never seen or heard news about the coup or the seizure of the throne.
Every prince born in this kingdom, they must obey the rules that have been made by generations. Likewise with the concubines and mistresses of the King. They must obey the rules made by the royal queen mother.
Where the Queen Mother made the edict, that each concubine could only obtain one descendant from the King. Once they managed to conceive a descendant of the King, they had to settle for it. Except for the King's main wife or often referred to as the King's Empress. The number one woman is expected to be able to give approximately two offspring for the King. Of course the first descendant of the Empress was a son.
Before the Empress had a descendant, there would be no woman who would be in the palace harem to be adopted as a concubine. At any rate, the royal family would make the King's Empress pregnant. So that the child he gave birth to can be the next successor to the throne.
If the Queen's first child is born to a woman, the Queen will be required to have a second pregnancy. And expected to give birth to a candidate for Crown Prince. Once that wish is achieved, it is only after the child is one year old that the King will appoint a concubine.
After the appointment of the first concubine, the concubine would get her right to spend one night of the wedding and one month with the King to get her next offspring. Of course with such an arrangement the royal family expected the concubine would quickly have a descendant.
Before the appointment of the concubine, the woman who will be made concubine will be ordered by the Queen Mother and the father of the King to swear before the two with the King and his Empress.
The prospective concubine will swear not to have the intention to endanger the position of her crown son if later the offspring born from the concubine's womb is a man. If there is little intention to seize the throne of the future Crown Prince candidate, the death penalty will be received by the mother and her child.
So next.
Rumor has it that the Queen Mother came from a very mysterious family and was far from the civilization of the people in the Huo kingdom. Where the Queen Mother is famous as a woman who has a strange magic.
It was seen from how the Queen Mother was able to see the bad intentions of someone who wanted to harm her royal family.
Just then, just as the selection of the second concubine for King Shen Jinglong was held, the Queen Mother suddenly rejected the woman to be married to Shen Jinglong because she turned out to have bad intentions. No one knows the end. The Queen Mother simply ordered the soldiers to hold the woman into the cold palace underground.
That said, the ability is named as an ability that can read the mind and the future. Strangely, however, the Queen Mother could never read the mind of King Shen Jinglong's beloved Empress Yun Xieya. It made everyone feel that the Queen Mother was only bragging about her abilities.
But strangely enough, it happens hereditary. Where every woman who managed to become the King's Empress, their hearts could not be read by the King's Queen Mother. The Queen Mother considers that the lucky woman chosen as the Empress has a white heart and a sesuci hearts of the Goddesses. Despite his dark past.
King Shen Jinglong had an Empress named Yun Xieya and two concubines. Different from the previous generation of Kings, Shen Jinglong himself decided to only have two concubines even though he never wanted one. The first concubine was Feng Wanlan, a woman born to a temple nun after marriage. She gave birth to a son named Shen Shiya. Then the second concubine named Yang Guorui as the second concubine after Feng Wanlan, the descendant of the King of the desert country who gave birth to a son named Shen Chengyi.
The two concubines were good friends with Yun Xieya and got along very well. Making all the Empresses and concubines from the other kingdoms envied him after hearing the story of the Huo kingdom.
Despite this, no one knew that Shen Jinglong would give a second descendant to his two concubines. The first daughter to be named Shen Jia, she was born from the womb of Feng Wanlan. The second daughter, Yang Guorui, was named Shen Lingling.
Xueyue was born after the birth of Shen Wei who was a prince to the three kingdoms in Huo kingdom. Princess Shen Jia as the first princess, while Shen Lingling is the second daughter. Then, what about Xueyue?
"You were of course born after Lingling's daughter, the princess" said the maid named An Xi.
Xueyue increasingly bent her face in annoyance. The story that An Xi had said was about the origin of this country. Where did the story about him come from?
An Nan knew what his master was thinking. It made him quickly open his voice continuing the story of An Xi. "Daughter, let the servant carry it on."
"All right! Quickly tell me." he said with legs still cross-legged with chin support.
The night was getting late, the sound of the night animals singing loudly making noise. But it did not dampen Xueyue's desire to continue to listen to the story about Xueyue's true daughter. 'Shouldn't some memory of the owner of this body appear in my memory? Hm.. This is so weird!' inner Xueyue.
"When the Empress was pregnant with you, she met an old woman outside the palace when the Empress was heading to the temple to ask for a blessing. Earlier, the King told the Empress that she was eager to have a daughter born from her womb. After the birth of two princes from the womb of the Empress, of course the King craved it. Even though two princesses were already born from his concubines. The King still wanted to fantasize, what if the Empress gave birth to a daughter for him? What kind of princess will be born directly by the empress at birth? Will she be as beautiful as the Empress, will she have such a sweet look?"
"Huh? Then...?" Xueyue began to be interested in An Nan's storyline. And he began to have bright sparkling eyes and not boring.
"The Empress just said, 'I want another son, My lord!' The king laughed at that moment. And had a great argument with the Empress even though it wasn't a quarrel." An Nan took a breath giving a pause, "Soknya.. Empress Yun left for the temple in order to ask for the blessing of the Gods. And it was there that he met an old woman who was accidentally hit by the horse carriage that the empress was riding in. One of the soldiers scolded and cursed him. But the Empress quickly stopped him. She's a really, really gentle woman. The Empress kindly helped the old woman. And this is the beginning of the tragedy."
"What tragedy?" Xueyue interrupted increasingly curious.
"Empresses... D-he..." An Nan hesitated. Seeing that Xueyue was really expecting him to continue his story, he secretly glanced at An Xi asking for help.
The walls and walls of the kingdom all had ears. At least they say something secret that only a few people know, then there will be someone who from the beginning opposes them secretly put their ears to eavesdrop. An Nan was scared and worried about it.
This secret only he, An Xi, and a few royal families knew. Even King Shen Jinglong did not know about it.
"Hurry on." urged Xueyue increasingly impatiently. An Nan could only twist the tip of her dress while biting her lips restlessly.
"Lord princess. But this is a secret. Servants really don't dare to continue this conversation" he said regretfully. Of course it made Xueyue cluck lazily.
But Xueyue could not deny that what An Nan said was true.
Secretly, the three of them could only mute. An Nan and An Xi glanced at each other. While Xueyue was busy with her thoughts looking for a way how she could get her two servants to tell the story of Xueyue's real daughter.
"ah! I know!" xueyue's shriek sparkled brightly with his wide smile that was capable of making all the men bend their knees before him. "Take the paper and brush here. As much as possible."
"Aah?" An Nan and An Xi gasped at Xueyue full of surprise.
"Wait moreover? Quickly take!" exclaimed Xueyue, again.
"Oh. B-good Princess." An Xi immediately got up and walked towards the study table in Xueyue's room. Take some special sheets of paper and brush as needed. After An Xi returned, Xueyue asked for the paper to be handed over to An Nan.
"Write on paper only all the key points in the story. I'll read it and ask you some questions in a language no one else will understand."
An Nan who understood Xueyue's intentions immediately executed her order. The servant immediately wrote down quickly on the paper all the important points of the story about his master.
Xueyue waited for him with a feeling of boredom, so he chose to lie down with his knee-backed legs and his two crossed hands resting on his head. He sang cheerful songs from his time. The truth was that it slightly bothered An Xi and An Nan who did not understand at all.
"Master princess." twenty minutes passed, and An Nan handed over a few piles of paper that had been written by ink to Xueyue.
"Hooaammmmhaha... You guys really are a long time."
"Excuse me servant, princess" An Nan said in a regretful tone feeling guilty.
Xueyue did not respond and only focused on the story her servant had written. A few minutes later? He glanced at the horror for the umpteenth time.
"WHAT IS THIS?!!"
