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

Nangong Xingyuan actually opened her mouth and bit Chu Xunzhen's hand.

Granny Hua looked startled.

"Oh no! Your Highness, you've been poisoned!"

Chu Xunzhen glanced at the wound, shook his head and said, "Xingyuan only bit me, she won't be poisoned."

Granny Hua's face turned grim, and she immediately said, "Your Highness, the young princess is currently disoriented because she has been poisoned by a Gu poison. If she is bitten by someone poisoned by Gu, she will most likely also be poisoned by it."

Chu Xunzhen said nonchalantly, "Granny, have you forgotten my natal Gu worm?"

"My natal Gu worm can devour all Gu poisons."

Hearing this, Granny Hua shook her head and chuckled, "Look at my memory, how could I forget the Princess's natal Gu worm?"

Chu Xunzhen nodded and said, "Little Black is the best. It can devour all kinds of Gu worms."

Granny Hua nodded and smiled.

Suddenly, Nangong Xingyuan struggled violently.

Chu Xunzhen delivered another chop to her neck.

"Your Highness, please treat the wound first. Perhaps you could entrust the young princess to me?"

Chu Xunzhen nodded and said, "Alright, by the way, I need to borrow your natal Gu worm, Dahuang. Can you let it out?"

Granny Hua's face stiffened as she said, "Your Highness, Da Huang was injured last time and is currently recuperating. It's inconvenient for her to come out."

Chu Xunzhen nodded upon hearing this.

However, in the next instant, she grabbed Granny Hua by the neck and pinned her against the wall.

At the same time, Chu Xunzhen threw a pill into Granny Hua's mouth, forcing her to swallow it.

"Who are you?"

Chu Xunzhen snorted coldly and released Granny Hua.

Just as Granny Hua was about to reach out and pinch Chu Xunzhen, she collapsed to her knees on the ground, powerless.

It was the medicine Chu Xunzhen had given her that caused her to feel weak all over.

Her face was pale as she stared intently at Chu Xunzhen, all traces of her previous respect gone, replaced by resentment and anger in her eyes.

"How did you find out?"

Chu Xunzhen shook her head and chuckled: "That's not important. Where is the real Granny Hua?"

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.

Hearing the commotion outside, Granny Hua's eyes lit up with a strange smile: "You'll never find her."

As she spoke, she bit open the poison sac in her mouth, fell to the ground, and her eyes were still fixed on Chu Xunzhen.

Anger flashed in Chu Xunzhen's eyes.

She suddenly walked up to Granny Hua and touched her face.

Sure enough! There's no scar mask; it's real skin.

This person looks remarkably similar to Granny Hua after she was disguised.

Trying to fool her? Too bad. Granny Hua doesn't look like that. The real Granny Hua wears a scarred mask.

When Nangong Yue pushed open the door, this was the scene she saw.

Anshun followed closely behind and immediately saw Granny Hua lying on the ground, lifeless.

His expression changed, and he suddenly pounced on Granny Hua.

"She's not Granny Hua, she's an imposter."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, An Shun, who was about to shed tears, suddenly held them back.

fortunately!

He almost thought he would never see Granny Hua again.

"Your Highness, why are you back? Weren't you seriously injured?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yue was stunned.

"I have never sent anyone back with a message saying that I am seriously injured."

Chu Xunzhen was stunned, and a chill ran through her heart.

"Your Highness, the palace gates are sealed. How can you return? Have the other princes all gone back as well?"

"I'm back." Nangong Yue nodded, then looked at Nangong Xingyuan in her arms and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with Xingyuan?"

Chu Xunzhen said worriedly, "Xingyuan has been poisoned by a Gu curse. She has lost her soul. Your Highness..."

Nangong Yue said in a deep voice, "Anshun, settle her in a side room first. Tomorrow, find Physician Li to come and treat Xingyuan."

Chu Xunzhen hurriedly said, "Send a few female guards to serve the young princess, in case she suddenly goes mad."

After saying that, she handed the young princess over to Anshun.

Using the little princess's body as cover, Chu Xunzhen secretly waved his right hand, and a Gu worm crawled up the little princess's back and into Anshun's clothes.

Anshun nodded, accepted the young princess's hand, and withdrew.

Nangong Yue's gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen, and she said, "Your Highness, I miss you very much. Do you miss me too?"

Chu Xunzhen smiled naturally and said to the prince, "Of course. What happened in the palace, Your Highness? Why are the palace gates sealed? Why has His Majesty confined you all inside?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue said, "The concubines in the harem had an affair with the Fifth Prince. My father was furious and investigated, forbidding us from leaving the palace. As for what you said earlier, that the secret guards sent word that I was seriously injured in the palace, I don't know which secret guards spread that message. I will definitely investigate thoroughly."

As she spoke, Nangong Yue walked over and tried to hug Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen avoided him, saying, "Your Highness has been in the palace for so long, why don't you take a bath first to wash away the bad luck?"

"The princess is right."

Chu Xunzhen called out to the maids outside, "Someone, come and serve the prince a bath."

Nangong Yue suddenly spoke up: "Where is Your Highness going? I only need Your Highness to serve me, I don't need anyone else to serve me."

Chu Xunzhen looked at Nangong Yue, gazing at the small black mole that adorned the corner of his eye.

The face is still the same face, but the person is no longer the same.

What about the real prince?

"Alright, Your Highness, please go behind the screen first. I will change my clothes and then follow."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue suddenly grabbed Chu Xunzhen's sleeve and said, "We're about to bathe, why change your clothes? Is the Princess still shy?"

Chu Xunzhen looked at the person in front of her and smiled playfully: "Then let's go."

Chu Xunzhen did not flinch, letting the other person help her up.

She smiled faintly and followed the other person to the bathtub behind the screen.

At this moment, Chunxi was adding water to the bathtub.

Nangong Yue, however, seemed a little disgusted and said, "It's too slow. Let's go to the hot spring in the backyard."

"it is good."

Chu Xunzhen's eyes flickered, and he said to Chunxi, "You go and rest first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The two arrived at the hot spring pool. Chu Xunzhen's gaze fell on Nangong Yue, and he said, "What are you still standing there for, Your Highness?"

Nangong Yue tentatively asked, "Is it because I returned late that Your Highness is not helping me undress?"

Hearing this, Chu Xunzhen smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you been staying in the palace for too long and are too tired? Last time I took off my clothes first, this time it's your turn. Your Highness has been too busy and tired today, have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue suddenly realized and smiled, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was too tired today and was afraid that my father would not allow me to return home. My mind was full of thoughts of you, Your Highness, so I didn't think of you for a moment."

Chu Xunzhen smiled and sat quietly on the rock to the side, waiting.

In no time, Nangong Yue took off her outer robe, leaving only her white inner garment.

He entered the hot spring pool and beckoned to Chu Xunzhen with his finger.

Chu Xunzhen's lips curled into a smile as she looked at him, her eyes as cold as if she were looking at a dead man: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. This princess has a surprise for you."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue was even more excited.

Chu Xunzhen said a few words to the guards standing outside, and the guards hurriedly left.

Chu Xunzhen looked at Nangong Yue, who was bathing, and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, why are you wearing your undergarments while bathing today?"

In the water, Nangong Yue's expression faltered for a moment, but he quickly laughed: "I'm waiting for my queen to serve me. Today, my queen will take off these clothes."

If looks could kill, Chu Xunzhen would have already sent him to his death by now.

Do you really think she's that easy to fool?

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The surprise is coming soon."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue gazed at Chu Xunzhen with anticipation.

Looking into his determined and expectant eyes, Chu Xunzhen felt a chill in her own eyes that almost materialized.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

Suddenly, a large black bear appeared at the entrance.

It was Big Black who came here.

Nangong Yue panicked immediately.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten Dahei since you returned today? You promised Dahei that you would hug him every day when you came back from going out."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Nangong Yue suddenly realized and said, "I was so busy today that I forgot."

"Should the Princess send Big Black back first?"

Chu Xunzhen said, "Your Highness, Dahei just wants to hug you. He loves you the most. If you don't hug him, he will be very sad, and he will even neglect his mate."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue was taken aback.

"Oh well."

Chu Xunzhen's eyes grew even colder. How could Nangong Yue not know that Dahei was male?

Dahei walked to the edge of the pool, and Nangong Yue laughed, suppressing her fear, and hugged Dahei.

Just as he was about to let go, Chu Xunzhen's voice rang out: "Dahei, grab him."

In an instant, Dahei's honest eyes changed, and he looked at Nangong Yue as if he had spotted prey.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Nangong Yue was pinned to the ground by the large black bear paw and could not move.

His face touched the cold stone, and the warmth from his body was blown away by the cold wind.

"Say it! Who are you?" Chu Xunzhen stomped on his calf, grinding it hard.

"Ah!" The people on the ground screamed in agony.

An Shun rushed in, and the surrounding guards all landed on the ground, surrounding Chu Xunzhen.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Anshun looked bewildered, staring at the scene before him, unable to process what was happening for a long time.

Didn't the princess have a very good relationship with the prince?

How could they treat the prince like this?

The guards stared warily at Dahei, then fixed their gazes on Chu Xunzhen.

"Save me! Chu Xun has gone mad! She dared to lay a hand on me. Quickly, seize her!"

Chu Xunzhen's gaze turned cold, and with a snap, he broke the leg bone of the person beneath him.

"The Dragon Order is here. Return to your posts, Your Highness."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, the guards retreated and dispersed.

"Don't go! I am your master. This woman has gone mad; she must have been poisoned by a curse. Don't listen to her."

As soon as Nangong Yue finished speaking, Anshun, who had wanted to ask for clarification, suddenly had his pupils contract.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "This servant deserves to die! I actually brought the fake prince back to the palace."

Chu Xunzhen stepped on Nangong Yue's back again.

"puff!"

Nangong Yue's body sank, and she felt as if her internal organs were about to explode, causing her to spit out blood.

Chu Xunzhen coldly asked, "Where did you meet him?"

"It was outside the palace gates. The prince sent me on a mission, and when I returned to the palace gates after completing it, I saw the prince about to board his carriage. I didn't dare ask any questions, so I brought the prince back with me."

Anshun, looking ashamed, knelt on the ground and said, "This servant accepts the punishment."

"Go and find out if the Prince is still in the palace. Also, hurry up and find Granny Hua. The manor is under martial law, so she couldn't have been taken away. She should still be in the manor."

"Yes, Your Highness."

An Shun stepped back, and Chu Xunzhen lowered her head, groping on "Nangong Yue's" face. After a moment, she felt a layer of bulging fake skin. She pinched the fake skin and lifted his human skin mask.

The next instant, her eyes blazed with fury, and she roared, "It was you?!"
