How could it be that we didn't know each other back then Chapter 1

I am the Grand Minister of the Dynasty.

On the day when the noble consort gave birth, I was fortunate enough to know that the fetus had a strange appearance, which could lead to disaster.

When requesting the emperor to assassinate the noble consort, he was slandered and admired by others for a long time, with a selfish heart.

The emperor was furious and said, "Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts. You please me and try to kill Miao Er's child. I won't spare you even if I cut you a thousand times!"

He threw me into the military camp to become a prostitute and was ridden by thousands of people.

When the noble consort gave birth to a prince three years later, the imperial city was plagued by constant epidemics, and the manors had no harvest, leading to successive defeats in the war.

The emperor finally panicked and personally beheaded the prince, begging me to pray for blessings to dispel the heavenly punishment.

I looked at my destroyed arms and said, "Your Majesty has forgotten? I am no longer able to hold the prayer order, I cannot pray for heavenly blessings."

When the emperor came to see me, I was being treated as a lottery and hung naked on the execution ground.

The soldiers around are fighting naked and shouting incessantly, they are bound to win this game and spend the night with me.

The emperor walked up to me and slapped me in the face.

"Damn it!"

His disgust was evident in his eyes, and I ignored the bleeding from the corners of my mouth and quickly knelt down on the ground. "I am a lowly slave and my body is unbearable. I beg the emperor for forgiveness..."

He grabbed my chin and said, "Since you know you're not good enough, do you regret what you did two years ago?"

I suppressed the blood at the corner of my mouth.

Regret?

Being thrown into a military camp as a prostitute simply because of unwillingness to pray for blessings is naturally regrettable.

If I had known this, praying for the cause of trouble may have been the best outcome.

Unfortunately, fate has already been fulfilled.

I tightened myself, afraid to look at him.

"I know my mistake, I am already a prostitute in the military... I beg the emperor for mercy."

The emperor left me behind.

"Miaoer is pregnant."

"You said Miaoer is infertile and will only give birth to stillbirths in her lifetime, but now she is not only pregnant, but also about to give birth!"

I just realized that the emperor's purpose of this trip is to show off.

I just didn't expect that Empress Miao would become pregnant again.

I'm afraid it's something from two years ago, and it's going to happen again.

I prostrated myself on the ground and said, "Congratulations to the emperor..."

The emperor's eyes darkened and pulled at me.

"So Yun Zhi, it's your fault!"

"You say that Miaoer's fetal image will bring heavenly punishment, it's just nonsense! If you harm the emperor, I won't be able to cut you a thousand times. In exchange for this outcome, you should have done it!"

I feel dizzy in both eyes, my throat is sweet and fishy, and I dare not say a word of injustice.

The emperor scanned my body with marks at the end of his eyes and kicked me away in disgust.

"It's so dirty."

I curled up on the ground.

The guards immediately sent a handkerchief to the emperor.

The emperor wiped the fingers that touched me clean and threw the handkerchief on my face.

"This dirty body has been played with by countless men for a long time. It's ridiculous that the former Grand Commandant has become so reckless."

I quickly got up and knelt down, feeling a chill in my heart.

Is it ridiculous?

I have also been carefree and spirited.

Your Majesty, these are all thanks to you.

The emperor refused to say much to me and asked the guards to forcibly bring me into the palace.

I only found out that on the day Empress Miao gave birth, the national teacher calculated that she had a child in danger and needed to exchange her life with someone else.

My fate is right and I have become a predetermined candidate.

On the day of Empress Miao's birth, it was also the time of my death.

Perhaps knowing that my fate was approaching, the emperor sent me the maid who had served me before to accompany me.

She cried at the first sight of me.

I have almost no intact skin or flesh on my body.

While she was applying medicine to me, I asked, "Aruo, when did Empress Miao conceive?"

Ah Ruo wiped away her tears and said, "Before June, there was no movement in Empress Miao's stomach. She had chopped off the heads of many imperial physicians until the arrival of the national teacher. Empress Miao only took a few patches of medicine and immediately became pregnant."

"National teacher?" I know deeply that Empress Miao cannot conceive again. "Who?"

If Ah Ruo didn't say anything, someone would break in outside the door.

She saw me lifeless and sarcastically said, "After serving in the military camp for two years, I didn't even want to call my sister?"

After seeing it clearly, my face turned pale.

On the day Lady Miao gave birth, the blessing order informed me that there was something unusual about the fetal image.

I knelt down to ask the emperor to prevent future troubles, but was presented with a token by the concubine who arrived.

She told the emperor that my mind was not right.

Coincidentally, Empress Miao had a miscarriage, and the emperor was furious. "If you please me and try to kill Miao's child, then I will send you to the military camp and accompany men night and night! You will become a prostitute!"

From then on, I was sent into the demon cave with my arms broken, and it was only natural for my younger sister to become a national teacher.
