Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 1 Rebirth
The scarlet flames licked the wall mercilessly. A beautiful woman in a bright red robe stood in the flames. Her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of desolation and relief. Her frail and boneless figure seemed to be destroyed by the fire at any time. Swallow, looking at the palace wall that has trapped her for three whole years, smiled in relief.

But in the next moment, a pair of cold hands stretched out from nowhere, strangled her neck fiercely, she was struggling to breathe, and out of the instinct to survive, she began to struggle hard, just when she was about to get out of trouble , she met a pair of scarlet eyes again, eyes filled with cruelty, bloodthirsty, and killing.

"what!"

With a shrill cry, Shen Xi suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely, her heart beating so fast that it almost burst out of her chest.

Immediately afterwards, a blue-faced and fang-toothed face zoomed in before her eyes, Shen Xi was frightened twice in a row, and her soul almost flew away.

So she subconsciously picked up the pillow in her hand and hit that person, with such strength that even the lint in the pillow was knocked out.

It's just different from her panic, the person opposite elegantly stretched out her slender hand and easily grabbed the corner of the pillow. Shen Xi was no match for his strength, and the pillow in his hand was firmly held by him, unable to be pulled out at all. Finally, she let go of her hand bitterly.

Without the pillow as a support, she seemed to have lost the last line of defense. She could only hug the quilt and slowly retreat until she leaned against the wall and could no longer retreat.

And the man with the mask still had a cold light in the corner of his eyes, and his tone of voice was lazy, but for some reason, people couldn't help but feel chills and creeps down their spines: "Is this the gift you gave me?"

The deep voice made Shen Xi's scalp tingle.

At this moment, she was completely awake. Looking at the man in front of her, she had no doubt that he would break her neck the next moment: "Who the hell are you?"

"Oh." The coldness and sarcasm in the man's eyes deeply stabbed Shen Xi: "Shen Xi, Shen Xi, I really didn't expect that you would start playing such tricks."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked away in a huff. The look of disdain and contempt was extremely arrogant.

When he came, Shen Xi hugged the quilt in a daze, and seemed to be able to hear the violent heartbeat in her chest.

She... where is she?Who is that person?Didn't she... Didn't she already die in the palace?
Thinking of those eyes in the dream, Shen Xi felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a knife was constantly stirring in her chest.

At this time, a green-clothed servant girl walked in quickly, her voice could not hide her panic: "Princess, what's the matter with you? This servant will go to the imperial physician right away..."

Shen Xi heard the word "Princess" in a daze, but passed out before she could react.

When she woke up again, the green-clothed maid was still lying beside her. She forced herself up, her head still aching.

"Princess, are you awake?" The maid in green was awakened by Shen Xi's movement, her eyes were red and swollen: "Are you alright?"

"Lianyue?" Shen Xi thought that she was wrong, wasn't she already dead?

Also, why would she call herself princess?

She is... what's wrong?
Hearing this, tears flowed from Lian Yue's eyes: "Princess, you are awake, I'm going to pass on the imperial physician to you."

After finishing speaking, she ran away, leaving no room for Shen Xi to speak.

Shen Xi sighed helplessly, this is indeed Lian Yue's character.

Then she began to look at the surrounding environment, everything here was strange to her.

Could it be that she is not dead?
Shen Xi subconsciously looked at her right wrist. Two years ago, her hand was burned and there was a scar on her wrist, but now there is nothing on her hand, it's just terribly thin.

And this scar is like the brand of humiliation in her heart, which will not be worn away until death.

She resisted the pain and turned over and got out of bed and walked to the dressing table. Isn't the face reflected in the bronze mirror exactly her own?

Looking at her thin eyebrows, Shen Xi's eyes were sore.

Three years ago, she was summoned into the palace by an imperial decree from the queen mother, and then another imperial decree bestowed her the title of empress. On the day of the wedding, ten miles of red makeup paved the way. She gave her enough face, and she also wholeheartedly thought that even if she and the emperor could not be in love with each other, at least they should respect each other as guests.

It's just that she didn't expect that all of this was just her wishful thinking. The heavy reality pulled her out of her dream and gave her a ruthless whip.

Because this marriage was taken advantage of from the beginning.

On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, she watched with cold eyes that the man named her husband was having trouble with other women in front of her. It was also he who cut her off from the outside world with his own hands. For three full years, she was trapped in the high palace wall. Three full years!

Thinking of this, Shen Xi only felt a dull pain in her heart.

"Princess, why are you up!" Lian Yue was in a hurry, and hurriedly greeted the imperial doctor behind: "You should hurry up."

The medicine box in the old doctor's hand was carried by Lian Yue, probably because she was old, and her legs and feet were not as flexible as young people's.

"Lianyue, don't be rude." Shen Xi glanced at Lianyue, although she still hasn't figured out what happened, but Liyue is her personal maid since she was a child, and it is still possible to teach her a lesson.

"Yes, princess." Lian Yue stood beside her aggrieved.

The old doctor was a little surprised, didn't the princess say she was very arrogant and domineering?Why does it seem to be somewhat different from the rumors now?

"The lower official has seen the princess."

"Exemption." Shen Xi quickly adjusted her status quo. Since everyone calls her Princess now, she can't let others see any clues. Everything can be done when she is free.

"Your officer, let me feel the pulse of the princess first."

The old doctor didn't think about those messy things, and took out a juan cloth and pulse pillow from the medical box, and Shen Xi obediently handed them over.

After taking the pulse, the old doctor pondered for a moment: "The princess is still too weak now, she needs to pay more attention to rest and eat more nourishing things on weekdays, the next official will prescribe a medicine for the empress, and take some conditioning after eating." That's it."

"Then I would like to thank the imperial physician." Shen Xi's headache has already healed a lot, but at the moment she dare not ask more questions, she doesn't understand the situation here at all, so it would be wrong to talk too much.

"The concubine is really disgusted to get off the job. This is the job of the low official. If there is nothing else to do, I will go first. Then the official will go to the imperial hospital and arrest the princess."

Shen Xi nodded: "Lianyue, send the imperial physician away."

"Yes." Lian Yue packed up the medicine box for the old doctor, and sent him back in a hurry.

Shen Xi took this opportunity to explain the matter again. She should have died, but a fire suddenly broke out in the palace that day, and the fire burned to her bed. No one came to save her. She still remembers her desperate struggle The look, that look is definitely not fake.

As for the rest, she didn't know, because the only thing she remembered was waking up from the nightmare and seeing a man with a blue face and fangs, no, to be precise, a man wearing a mask with a blue face and fangs.

Then she... hit him?

Shen Xi was forced to be a dignified lady for most of her life. This is the first time she beat someone regardless of her image.
