After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chu Huanyan was suddenly startled, and subconsciously looked around, but everything around him was still exactly the same, without any change.

"Yanyan, Yanyan..."

The voice sounded again. Although it didn't sound like it was coming from the side hall next door, Chu Huanyan still stood up and walked towards the side hall.

In the side hall, Xiao Jinzhi was soaking in the bath with his back to Chu Huanyan, only half of his back exposed.

"Yanyan, can you wake up soon?"

A voice with endless expectation came from her ears, and now Chu Huanyan was completely sure that the person speaking was not Xiao Jinzhi in front of her.

So, she can hear Xiao Jinzhi's voice again?

Chu Huanyan felt happy, but after saying this, her ears became quiet again, leaving only the sound of water.

She frowned and waited for a while, but still didn't hear any new sounds. Chu Huanyan was a little disappointed and wanted to turn around and go back to the dormitory.

But the moment she turned around, her eyes swept across Xiao Jinzhi in the bathtub, and she noticed that there were many scars on the other person's back.

The deepest one was about half a foot long and looked like a stab wound. It lay across the back and was particularly horrifying.

Chu Huanyan's heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat. These scars didn't look like new injuries. Although she couldn't distinguish the details, she could probably tell that most of them should be old.

So, does the Xiao Jinzhi she is familiar with also have it? Where did these injuries come from? Assassinated for many years?

As these questions emerged, Chu Huanyan's heart ached and she wanted to go back and ask Xiao Jinzhi more and more.

Seeing the people in the bath preparing to get up, Chu Huanyan withdrew her gaze and exited the side hall.

When Xiao Jinzhi came out, he had already put on a pair of pajamas. The whole body was made of black material, and it seemed that there was another layer of loneliness around him.

There was no one waiting in the dormitory. Chu Huanyan sat on the soft couch and watched quietly as Xiao Jinzhi blew out the candles and lay down on the couch to sleep.

She also lay down on the soft couch. Although she didn't seem to feel any fatigue in her current state, she still closed her eyes and secretly expected in her heart that when she opened her eyes again, she would see that person in front of her. The familiar Xiao Jinzhi.

Chu Huanyan didn't know when she fell asleep. She just felt groggy. The voice seemed to come to her ears again, but this time it was extremely unclear and vague. She couldn't even hear what the other person was saying. It can be felt that the person speaking is very sad.

Could it be Xiao Jinzhi?

Chu Huanyan asked herself in her heart. When she opened her eyes in a daze, it was still early and the light in the bedroom was dim, but Xiao Jinzhi had already gotten up and was standing there changing clothes alone.

With just one glance, Chu Huanyan knew that she still couldn't go back.

Slowly getting up from the soft couch, Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi silently until the other party left the dormitory and went to the morning court.

The following days were like this almost every day. Chu Huanyan expected to go back as soon as she opened her eyes, but her expectations were in vain.

She could only stay with Xiao Jinzhi in this life, watching him go to court and go down to handle government affairs.

Looking at the officials' constant reports, I hope Xiao Jinzhi can choose a concubine and establish a queen as soon as possible to fill the harem.

Finally, two months later, Xiao Jinzhi calmly issued the imperial edict to select the concubine.

But looking at the two identical faces, Chu Huanyan became more and more aware day by day that the person in front of her was not her Xiao Jinzhi.

On the day of the concubine selection, Xiao Jin's enthusiasm was low and he only sent a few officials to take charge. After showing up casually, he quickly left the concubine selection office and went for a walk in the imperial garden.

Chu Huanyan followed him boredly. Over the past few months, she could feel Xiao Jinzhi's increasingly rich imperial aura, but at the same time, she also felt that the other person seemed to be getting more and more lonely.

Nowadays, even Qin Li speaks much less in front of Xiao Jinzhi.

At first, Chu Huanyan was still comforting herself in her heart. Maybe it was just because she had too many tasks just after taking the throne, coupled with the rumors, so Xiao Jinzhi was under greater pressure, but later she had to admit that maybe in that high position, People will become more and more silent and lonely.

Xiao Jinzhi is no exception. Soon, the concubine selection ceremony was over. There were seven or eight more concubines in the harem, but the queen position was still empty. Xiao Jinzhi did not want to establish a queen at this time, and the courtiers could not push too hard.

And in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Chu Huanyan was sitting in the corridor of the Royal Garden, looking at the falling leaves one by one, and began to lose hope in her heart.

She even doubted whether she would be trapped in this palace for decades. Until Xiao Jinzhi died of old age in this life, she would still be a ghost.

While she was lost in thought, Chu Huanyan suddenly heard a burst of crying.

When she followed the sound and walked over, she discovered that they were two little palace maids, and one of them seemed very familiar.

Chu Huanyan thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that the other party was Pan'er, the maid from the Huanyi Bureau.

When he and Xiao Jinzhi discovered that the eunuch Zhang Changxi had abused the palace maids, it was Pan'er who complained to him.

Chu Huanyan frowned. In this life, she and Xiao Jin had no intersection at all, and it was impossible to expose Zhang Changxi together. So, would the maids of the Huanyi Bureau still be tortured by Zhang Changxi?

Thinking of this, Chu Huanyan suppressed the uneasiness and guilt she felt just now and immediately walked towards the palace clothes bureau.

Following her previous memories, she successfully arrived at the Huanyi Bureau, and as expected she saw Zhang Changxi as soon as she entered.

The other party was sitting on the chair arrogantly, while two palace maids were kneeling next to him, beating his legs and pouring tea for him. This look made people feel angry.

Especially when she saw the faint bruises on the wrists of the two palace maids next to her, Chu Huanyan frowned even more tightly.

However, in her current state, there was no way she could go to Xiao Jinzhi to expose Zhang Changxi, or even touch him.

In this state, how could she help these maids from the Clothing Bureau?

Chu Huanyan stood there silently.

When Zhang Changxi had enough of being arrogant, he finally got up and went back to his room. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the two court ladies with hanging legs that they would serve him tonight.

The two palace maids shivered in response, their faces full of timidity.

In Huanyi Bureau, Chu Huanyan tried to talk to almost everyone and touch everything, but the result was exactly the same as before. No one could hear or see her, and she couldn't touch anything.

She didn't even know why, but her steps were getting weaker and weaker, and her overall spirit was getting worse and worse.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chu Huanyan forced herself back to Xiao Jinzhi's dormitory.

She was already staggering and could hardly walk anymore, but the moment she stepped into the dormitory, she suddenly found that the strength she had lost seemed to be quickly coming back.

Chu Huanyan was surprised. Could it be that she couldn't leave this dormitory for too long?

Chu Huanyan thought about it carefully. Although she had walked around the palace before and even went to the entrance of the palace, the time seemed not as long as today.

No, not right.

When Xiao Jinzhi held a banquet before, it took a lot of time. Sometimes, she would stay in the imperial study room for a long time. Why didn't she feel any discomfort during those times?

The next moment, Chu Huanyan suddenly turned her gaze to Xiao Jinzhi, who was still reviewing the memorial, and a new idea came to her mind.

Is it not because of this tomb, but because of Xiao Jinzhi?

I had been away from Xiao Jinzhi for too long today, so why did I feel uncomfortable?

If this is really the case, will the closer I get to Xiao Jinzhi, the stronger the power I will gain?

In order to verify her guess, Chu Huanyan walked to Xiao Jinzhi, breathed slowly, and felt the changes in her body.

But nothing has changed.

Chu Huanyan laughed helplessly, wondering what she was thinking.

Just when she was about to walk to the soft couch in the inner room, Xiao Jinzhi finished reviewing the memorial in his hand and raised his hand to put down the brush.

However, the end of the pen happened to hit Chu Huanyan's arm, and was immediately blocked... (End of Chapter)
