Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

"Sister, I..."

Before Nangong Yue could explain, Chu Xunzhen dipped his hand in the ointment and gently applied it to the wounds on his body.

Terrible!

My sister is beautiful from every angle. I wish I could merge my sister into my very being again.

"Your Highness, could you please provide me with Anshun's contact information?"

"it is good."

Nangong Yue gave Chu Xunzhen the method to contact Anshun.

At the same time, he handed over the distribution, contact methods, and command authority of all his secret guards to Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen was somewhat bewildered as he handed her everything at once.

"Sister, if there is ever an emergency for me, you can command all my subordinates."

As she spoke, Nangong Yue gave Chu Xunzhen the Gu Ring, which symbolized the Gu Sect Master.

Chu Xunzhen looked at Nangong Yue, feeling utterly lost.

She couldn't believe that Nangong Yue had so easily given her everything he had built up over the years.

She glanced through the list; it contained almost no records.

Tears welled up in Chu Xunzhen's eyes, and a sore feeling in her chest left her speechless for a long time.

Nangong Yue, do you trust her so much?

"What's wrong? Don't want to take over? It's not difficult. Sister, I'll help you take control of everything."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen handed it back to him without hesitation, saying, "No need!"

Nangong Yue was stunned.

"Your own things are your own business. I don't have time for that."

Nangong Yue smiled and hugged Chu Xunzhen, saying, "Fine, if you don't want to get involved, then don't. From today onwards, I will tell my people that you are also their master, and your orders are my orders."

Large tears fell from Chu Xunzhen's eyes and landed on Nangong Yue's hand.

Nangong Yue panicked: "If you don't like it, I won't do anything. I'll do whatever you say."

Seeing how concerned he was for her, Chu Xunzhen felt that God must have thought she had suffered too much in her past life, so He gave her such a good husband in this life.

In that instant, she even felt guilty.

She had liked Nangong Yue before because he was mentally challenged. Now that his mother, Consort Li, was gone, she no longer had to please her mother-in-law as she had in her previous life. And since her husband was mentally challenged, he was easier for her to control.

She lied to him, saying she liked him, but at that time she was only grateful to him and repaying his kindness.

After all, this man had saved her in both her past and present lives.

Today, faced with such pure affection, Chu Xunzhen felt unworthy, unworthy of his favor and trust. She felt like a despicable person who had schemed and plotted to secure a bright future.

Chu Xunzhen suddenly pressed down on Nangong Yue, placing his hands on either side of his head, and said, "Does Your Highness trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll use the power Your Highness gave me to turn against you?"

"If you want me to die, just say so. I, Nangong Yue, am willing to die for you. Sister, please don't worry too much. It pains me."

Nangong Yue looked at Chu Xunzhen with deep affection, her tone gentle.

He came for her. And wasn't her rebirth also his rebirth?

If one day she wants his life, he will give it to her.

Chu Xunzhen was truly shocked.

Nestled in Nangong Yue's arms, she felt completely relaxed for the first time, no longer having to think about dealing with danger at any time.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Sister, I want to hear you call me husband."

As Nangong Yue finished speaking, Chu Xunzhen's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked up at him and softly called out, "Husband."

"My wife."

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Your Highness, Physician Li has arrived and is treating Mr. Chen."

Chu Xunzhen immediately sat up from the bed.

"Sister, you go ahead, I'll rest for a bit."

"it is good."

Chu Xunzhen kissed him on the cheek and left.

Nangong Yue was taken aback at first, then she smiled.

The older sister finally stopped guarding against him and even opened her heart to him.

Chu Xunzhen had just arrived at Chen Kangnian's room when he saw Chen Kangnian, who had regained consciousness.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Father is alright. Where is this? Why can't Father remember what happened before?" Chen Kangnian said, covering his head.

Chu Xunzhen looked at the old physician Li.

The old physician Li said to Chu Xunzhen, "Your Highness, don't panic. This is a normal phenomenon. Mr. Chen injured the nerves in his head and lost part of his memory. He will recover in seven or eight days."

Hearing this, Chu Xunzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Physician Li. If you have any questions about Gu poison, you can consult me. Although I am not an expert, I did learn some knowledge about Gu poison when I was young."

The old doctor, Li, was excited.

He had wanted to come before, but he was hesitant because he thought it was inappropriate for a princess to come.

Now that the princess has spoken for him personally, he can be bold enough to come to the palace to ask next time.

"Thank you, Your Highness," said the old physician Li respectfully, clasping his hands in thanks.

Standing to the side, Grandpa Ankang was even more shocked.

Old Master Li, who is he? He is the most respected figure in the Imperial Medical Academy.

Normally, only royalty with real power would receive such attention from the Imperial Physician Li; he was rather taciturn with ordinary people. But today, he was so respectful to his own Princess Consort.

"Eunuch Ankang, take Physician Li to take the Prince's pulse."

"Yes."

The eunuch Ankang and the imperial physician withdrew.

Chu Xunzhen suddenly threw herself into Chen Kangnian's arms, and after a long while, she looked up and asked, "Father, are you hungry? I'll have Chunxi heat up some medicinal porridge for you, you can have some first, okay?"

Chu Xunzhen looked at her chubby father, who looked haggard and thin, and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Great!" Chen Kangnian exclaimed excitedly.

Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't closed the door when he arrived.

Perhaps the clothing shop was robbed while he was unconscious.

"Oh no, what happened to the clothing store?"

"Father, I've temporarily closed the clothing shop. Please stay at the Prince's residence in peace."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kangnian was about to stand up. He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no! I'll leave after my meal. Otherwise, I'm afraid His Highness won't like it. Zhenzhen, Father will be back at the manor soon."

Seeing his eagerness, Chu Xunzhen became angry: "Father, no, Your Highness, listen to me."

The moment Nangong Yue stepped into the room, he overheard Chu Xunzhen's words and smiled.

Chen Kangnian was terrified.

He stood up abruptly and said, "My daughter's words and actions were improper, Your Highness, please don't be angry. I will leave after my meal."

Nangong Yue snorted coldly: "What? Does your father-in-law look down on me? The princess's will is my will. Unless the princess allows your father-in-law to leave, he will have to stay here for now."

Chen Kangnian was stunned.

He had met that young man named Gu Changfeng before. Although he was polite at the time, he still looked down on them merchants deep down.

Although the prince was of noble birth, he still kept him in the mansion.

It seems that her daughter holds a very high place in Nangong Yue's heart.

As expected of his precious daughter, she's amazing.

The little prince is now under my control.

Chu Xunzhen rolled her eyes at Nangong Yue and said to Chen Kangnian, "Father, if the Prince won't let you leave, don't even think about leaving. Besides, don't you want to know about Mother's situation? We've already sent people to investigate, but we need you to provide more information."

Chen Kangnian immediately said, "They are from Da Nan. Their accent is Da Nan accent."

Chu Xunzhen was bewildered and asked, "Da Nan? Da Nan is coming to Da Ning, and they have to pass through Da Qian. Why did those people take Mother away? Did they mistake her for someone else?"

Chen Kangnian looked at Chu Xunzhen and said, "No. Your mother seemed to know them. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Your mother was communicating with them in the Southern dialect. As they were talking, your mother got very agitated, and they knocked her unconscious and tried to take her away. I refused, so they surrounded me and beat me up. I hit my head on a wooden cabinet and passed out. When I woke up later, I came here."

Chu Xunzhen asked, "Father, how come Mother speaks the language of the Southern Regions? Could it be that Mother is from the Southern Regions?"

"Your mother once hit her head and lost her memory. She married me, and we lived together. I didn't know anything about her; I always thought she was from Daning."

Chu Xunzhen: "......."

Nangong Yue understood and said to Chen Kangnian, "Father-in-law, there's no need to worry. No matter where Mother-in-law is from, she's our closest relative. I've already recorded the information you provided. Unless those women don't stop at all, as long as they're still within the territory of Daning, we'll be able to find Mother-in-law's whereabouts."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Kangnian looked at Nangong Yue with gratitude.

He thought to himself, Zhenzhen has really chosen a good husband this time.

When he and his wife learned that Zhenzhen had chosen the mentally challenged prince instead of Gu Changfeng, they were worried.

Fortunately, Zhenzhen didn't choose Gu Changfeng as they expected, otherwise they would probably be kicking themselves.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came.

Chu Xunzhen frowned, and Chen Kangnian immediately said to the two of them, "I'm going to rest for a bit. You two go and take care of your business. Don't worry about me. I'm much better now."

"Alright." Chu Xunzhen said, then turned to Chunxi and said, "Have the steward arrange for a few more servants to attend to Father."

Upon hearing this, Chunxi respectfully agreed and quickly left.

Chu Xunzhen tucked the blanket around her father, when suddenly, Chunxi's scream came from outside.

Her gaze sharpened, she closed Chen Kangnian's door behind her, and rushed out.

Chu Xunzhen immediately saw the situation inside the courtyard.

Chunxi threw herself onto the person on the ground, and the half-dead, dusty person on the ground was none other than Granny Hua.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Granny Hua's right sleeve was empty.

Granny Hua lost her right arm!

Looking at the pale-faced Granny Hua, Chu Xunzhen felt heartache, guilt, and even more anger.

"Young lady, this old servant has found the whereabouts of the three bear cubs. They are..."

Before she could finish speaking, a mouthful of bright red blood gushed from Granny Hua's mouth. A pungent smell of blood emanated from her body.

Chu Xunzhen immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Granny!"

At the same time, Anshun also returned.

He finally found Chu Xunzhen's natal Gu worm—Xiaobai.

As he passed through the courtyard, he immediately saw Granny Hua lying on the ground, her fate unknown.
