It's early spring and the weather is still a bit cold.
The extra clothes that were originally added to keep warm now became a burden. The clothes that were soaked with water were very thick, dragging Xie Youwei down continuously.
Xie Youwei felt bitingly cold and her eyelids were heavy. She could barely open a crack, but she was in a daze and couldn't see the scenery clearly. There was a buzzing sound in her ears, which made her wrinkle up.
raised eyebrows.
Some scenes played out in her mind.
Suddenly, Xie Youwei's eyes suddenly opened wide.
The scene in front of me instantly became clear.
Xie Youwei suddenly realized that he was in a pool at this time, and was suddenly shocked.
I was ready to drag myself out and swim out, but as soon as I moved, I realized that my limbs had already lost strength, and it was difficult to just lift them.
The oxygen in her body became thinner and thinner, and Xie Youwei clearly felt that her life was draining away. She gritted her teeth unwillingly, then suddenly became fierce and held in her last breath before jumping out of the water.
Just when Xie Youwei opened his mouth to take a deep breath of fresh air, a female voice suddenly sounded from around him.
The female voice was timid, with a hint of easily detectable trembling, which seemed particularly clear in the quiet night.
Xie Youwei subconsciously began to hold his breath and concentrate.
"Miss Xia...is this really okay? She is the concubine of the General's Mansion after all..."
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by another loud female voice next to him.
"If Xie Youwei is really favored, how can she be kept in Suzhou for so many years? She is just a chess piece sent by the Xie Mansion to replace Xie's rosary beads. What does it matter?"
Having said this, the woman paused, and her voice sounded a bit like gritting her teeth when she spoke again.
"Although Xie Youwei is sick and weak, she is very charming! It's only because the soft and fragrant red soil in the capital is too attractive.
Xie You lowered her head slightly, frowned, hid her body in a pool of lotus leaves, and listened quietly to the conversation of the two women.
The footsteps and conversations of the two women gradually faded away, but Xie Youwei still did not move.
Soon, another voice sounded.
It was a somewhat sharp male voice.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has put a lot of effort into organizing this election. Are you really not going to go there tonight?"
Another deep voice sounded.
"Oh, it took a lot of effort? Isn't it all for her mother's clan? From my point of view, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become more and more arrogant in recent years."
Xie Youwei tightened his fingertips and tried his best to control his breathing to prevent being discovered by these two people.
Waiting until everything was completely silent, Xie Youwei dragged her body and swam ashore.
After landing on the shore, Xie Youwei carefully observed for a while. After confirming that no one was around, Xie Youwei dared to cough lightly.
The clothes were covered with water and soon wet the ground where Xie Youwei was.
Xie Youwei frowned, took a deep look at the place where the two people were standing and talking, then withdrew his gaze, stood up with his hands on the ground, and left the place with difficulty.
The night was dark, and the gentle evening breeze suddenly became biting when it hit Xie Youwei, who was soaked all over.
Xie Youwei gritted her teeth, not daring to make a sound. She walked all the way to a small courtyard and gently knocked on the door.
Immediately someone opened the door.
The person who opened the door was a maid who looked about the same age as Xie Youwei and was wearing green coarse cloth clothes.
Seeing her young lady's embarrassed appearance, the anxiety on Xicui's face turned into surprise in an instant. She was about to scream, but Xie Youwei quickly covered her mouth.
Xie Youwei met Xicui's eyes and shook her head gently, her voice a little hoarse.
"Help me in first."
Xicui looked at the tired look on Xie Youwei's face, suppressed the words in her throat, nodded, and reached out to help Xie Youwei.
After a while, Xie Youwei soaked herself in the hot water Xicui had prepared for her, closed her eyes, and had a lot of thoughts in her heart.
It had just been a year since the new emperor took the throne and the harem was empty, so a general election was held to select noble daughters from various aristocratic families to enter the palace and fill the harem.
As the eldest daughter of the Xie family, she naturally needed to come over and go through this formality.
The heat rose and turned into white smoke that lingered around her.
Xie Youwei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air in the steaming clouds and mist, and then sank down for a few minutes.
Originally, the election was nothing in her mind, but after falling into the water today, her indifferent mentality suddenly changed.
Thinking of the various memories that appeared in his mind, Xie Youwei narrowed his eyes.
She remembered them all.
This world is just a world in a book, an ancient version of the book Chasing a Wife at the Crematorium.
She was once an unknown female college student in the 21st century. She accidentally jumped on the trend and ended up in this book.
However, she is not the wife who chases his wife in the crematorium, she is the vicious female partner who makes the male protagonist chase his wife in the crematorium.
The male protagonist Chu Yan fell in love with her sister, the female protagonist Xie Nianzhu, at first sight, but he did not know her true identity. During the election, he mistakenly identified her as Xie Nianzhu and brought her into the harem.
It was precisely because of this move that Chu Yan completely ruined the opportunity to stand side by side with Xie Nianzhu.
Rosary and her had been close friends since childhood, so it was naturally impossible for her to accept the advances of Chu Yan, her brother-in-law.
As a puppet under the Queen Mother, Chu Yan did not have the power to act arbitrarily and could not directly order Xie Rosary to be included in the harem.
So the story of the sadistic pursuit of his wife in the crematorium amid a power dispute kicked off.
Xie Youwei slapped the water unconsciously with his hand, thinking about the current situation.
Now there's good news, and bad news.
The good news is that she hasn't bumped into the blind male protagonist yet.
According to the original plot, it should be the male protagonist who rescues her today.
Then she should secretly make a secret promise to that guy today.
The bad news is that the election is tomorrow.
According to the plot, during the general election the next day, the blind male protagonist will look into her eyes, and his heart will suddenly stagnate, and then bursts of joy will emerge in his heart, and he will happily want to accept her.
Enter the palace.
Although she was opposed by the Queen Mother, she still hesitated and foolishly told the story about the blind emperor saving her. The overwhelming feeling of closeness between men and women overwhelmed her, and the Queen Mother could not refute.
No, it absolutely cannot develop like that.
Xie Youwei frowned slightly and stood up from the tub.
Along with this movement, the sound of water continued.
Xie Youwei wiped off the water droplets on her body, grabbed the gauze on the side and put it on herself.
Xie Youwei walked out from behind the screen and met Xicui's worried eyes. Xicui was holding a small bowl in her hand.
"Miss, it's too late and we can't find any medicine. Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."
Xie Youwei sat down on the bed holding on to the bed rail, took the bowl from Xicui's hand, and drank the water in one gulp.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest early."
After Xie Youwei finished speaking, Xicui did not retreat immediately, but looked at Xie Youwei hesitantly.
Xie You raised his head slightly and looked at Xicui, with a smile on his lips, and reached out to pat Xicui's hand.
"Don't worry, I have nothing to do, go to bed early."
I don’t know if there will be any changes tomorrow, so it’s better to make some preparations.
Xicui stared at Xie Youwei hesitantly for a while, then finally nodded and walked away. This chapter has been completed!
