"Stranger?" Chu Yunqing's eyes flickered for a moment before she broke into a smile, her delicate demeanor tinged with a hint of allure. "Your Majesty is joking. I have served you for many years; how could you say I am a stranger? It must be that my appearance has changed today, which displeases you."
As she spoke, she reached out to gently caress Xiao Jingyan's cheek, her tone carrying a touch of coquetry. "Please do not blame me, Your Majesty. I will have someone redo my makeup to ensure your satisfaction."
Seeing Chu Yunqing's charming and enchanting appearance, the doubts that had briefly arisen in Xiao Jingyan's heart began to dissipate. He took her hand and said softly, "My beloved consort is overthinking. I was merely speaking casually. We have been husband and wife for many years; there is no need for such formality between us."
Noticing his expression soften, Chu Yunqing felt relieved but still did not dare to let her guard down. She subtly withdrew her hand and said gently, "Your Majesty has many affairs to attend to; I would not dare disturb you. I will have someone prepare dinner. Will you stay and dine with me?"
Xiao Jingyan initially intended to refuse, but seeing the hopeful look in Chu Yunqing's eyes, his heart softened, and he nodded in agreement.
Once Xiao Jingyan left, Chu Yunqing immediately wiped the smile off her face, her gaze turning sharp. She dismissed everyone except for her close maid, Green Lotus.
"Green Lotus, go find out if there are any secret chambers or hidden compartments in this palace."
Green Lotus looked puzzled. "Your Highness, what are you looking for?"
Chu Yunqing replied in a low voice, "Do not ask what you should not; just go and search."
Green Lotus did not dare to delay and quickly began to search the palace carefully. Meanwhile, Chu Yunqing recalled the earlier phrase about time travel... Could it be that the owner of this body also came from another world like herself?
Before long, Green Lotus's excited voice rang out. "Your Highness, look!"
She pointed at a painting of court ladies hanging by the bed; on the wooden frame below the painting was an almost imperceptible hidden latch. Chu Yunqing stepped forward and gently pressed it. With a click, a section of the wooden board at the head of the bed flipped inward, revealing a hidden compartment.
In the hidden compartment, there was only a wooden box. Chu Yunqing opened it and found a letter written in blood inside. She took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the paper. The shocking words leapt into her view, sending a chill from her feet straight to her heart.
This blood letter was actually a farewell note from the original owner to someone named "Ayan." The letter revealed a startling secret: the original owner was not from this world but from a place called "Earth." Due to an accidental incident, her soul had crossed over into this body.
What shocked her even more was that the letter mentioned the original owner had discovered a tremendous secret, one that concerned the future of the Tian Sheng Dynasty and whether she could return to the modern world...
Chu Yunqing held the blood letter, her fingertips slightly cold. The original owner came from "Earth," just like her, as a traveler? And she had uncovered secrets related to the future of the Tian Sheng Dynasty? This information wrapped around her like a fog, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Green Lotus asked worriedly when she saw Chu Yunqing's pale face and the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Chu Yunqing took a deep breath, folded the letter neatly, and placed it back in the wooden box, striving to make her tone sound calm. "I'm fine; I just recalled some old matters and felt a bit emotional."
"If Your Highness is troubled, perhaps you could share it. Although I am foolish, I can still help ease your worries," Green Lotus said as she stepped forward and gently massaged Chu Yunqing's shoulders.
Chu Yunqing closed her eyes, replaying the contents of the letter in her mind, trying to find some useful information. "What else did the letter mention? Think carefully."
