♂?，，

  Upon hearing the words of the Crown Prince's consort, the maids immediately brought over the wind-breaking garments that everyone had just taken off and helped them put it back on. Chu Ke'er moved a bit faster, she would rather wait for a while after getting dressed than fall behind. It wasn't that she understood etiquette, but rather... previously, all of Chu Ke'er's memories no longer existed, she couldn't recall anything, nor did she recognize anyone. She had to closely follow these people, especially the two sisters, Chu Yun Ting and Chu Yun Qing, they called her own name so she would call theirs back, lest she see someone and not recognize them, revealing her true nature...

  Everyone quietly put on their thick coats, the Crown Prince's consort supported the old Hanlin lady out of the courtyard and got into a large red sedan chair, while others including Chu Wangshi, the stepmother of the Chu sisters, rode in soft palanquins.

  Chu Ke sat in the sedan chair, listening to the footsteps outside, 'shasha', except for the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound.

  She looked down at her own hands, slender and delicate, unable to exert even a little bit of strength. In her previous life, although she was a noble princess, she could still ride horses and swing a few whips...

  *sigh*

  She let out a silent sigh again, and Chu Ke'er leaned against the carriage frame weakly. This was why, she didn't know either, maybe it was because the little ghosts from Yan Luo Temple accidentally dropped her soul when they were collecting it, and it ended up entering Chu Ke'er's body?

  Or... or perhaps I had already died from illness and came to my past life... This can explain why I returned to the previous dynasty, and why my name is still called Ke Ai.

  It's possible... this could really be it...

  Chu Ke suddenly felt that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She tilted her head to listen for a moment, before suddenly realizing what it was.

  The footsteps outside became uniform and monotonous... no longer the dozen or so footsteps from before, but only one or two.

  Chu Ke suddenly startled and then quickly calmed down, slowly standing up straight, staring intently at the thick curtain of the sedan chair in front of her. There, a pair of feet were alternately stepping on each other, although they looked like men's shoes with blue cloth and thick soles, but they were actually the same pair of feet she saw when she got into the sedan chair earlier, belonging to an old woman.

  She leaned slightly against the window of the sedan, listened carefully, and since there was no sound of footsteps outside, she gently lifted a corner of the curtain, her body lightly leaning back, looking out through the gap. Outside it was a clear day, but the several sedans in front were nowhere to be seen.

  Chu Ke's body hair all stood up, in broad daylight, still in the mansion of Duke De Xing, was she kidnapped? These women had such big guts.

  Four or five ideas flashed through her mind in disorder, should she shout loudly? Or jump out unexpectedly? Or just let them carry herself away? See what they want to do?

  She thought quickly, her hand lightly lifting the curtain of the sedan chair, watching through the gap in the curtains to see if these people would carry her out of the compound... If they really did carry her out, she could only shout loudly...

  The sedan chair continued to move forward in the corridor, and through the gap in the sedan curtain, all that could be seen was the deep red wall at the bottom of the courtyard, with a pot of flowers appearing at intervals in front of the wall.

  Chu Ke's heart was silently counting the footsteps, "hush hush hush", probably about two thousand steps or so, turned a corner, to the left. Before discovering it, probably also one or two thousand steps?

  It was the same distance again, then a right turn, and the sedan stopped.

  Chu Ke quickly opened the curtain, and the carriage curtain was lifted up immediately. A woman's face appeared, with a fake smile: "Third Miss, we've arrived."

  Chu Xue made a calm and composed descent from the sedan chair, only to find herself alone and unaccompanied. Ahead of her was not some grand mansion or estate, but rather a small and humble door.

  "Where is this..."

  He was pushed hard from behind and stumbled into the door.

  She didn't resist, because at this point she was powerless to do so, and resistance would have been futile anyway. She stumbled into the house, barely managing to keep her footing, and first noticed that it was completely empty.

  She turned around and saw four or five old women following her in, with the last one closing the door behind them.

  "Do you know who I am? The Princess of De Xing County is my aunt, and the Crown Princess of De Xing County is my sister."

  The women sneered, one of them coldly saying: "A low-born daughter born to a concubine, how dare you claim ties with the princess and the crown prince's consort? What older sister? You really have no shame." Several people closed in step by step.

  It's all right, these women are not worth Master's attention.

  Chu Kei's eyes widened as she stepped back, but before she could react, two old women rushed up to her, one on each side, and grabbed her arms. The woman in front rummaged through her sleeve and pulled out a cloth package, opening it to reveal something inside. With a flick of her wrist, the cloth was tossed to the ground.

  Chu Xue's eyes widened suddenly. The old woman took out a silver needle that was as long as an inch.

  Two more women came up and began to undress Chu Ke's clothes

  Chu Kei's uncontrollable screams and desperate struggles

  "What kind of people are they? What do they want to do?"

  Four old women held her down tightly, and she couldn't struggle free. The old women took off the green cloak from her body, removed her green jacket, white cotton padded jacket, revealing the white undergarment inside. Chu Keqin let out a sharp cry and struggled, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from the old women's hands which were like tiger claws.

  The old woman who undressed her carefully folded the clothes she had taken off and put them away in a clean place in the house, apparently to be worn again.

  Chu Kei Hui saw it, but was still tense, continuing to struggle in vain. The three women on this side, two of whom were holding her arms, one of whom had lifted up Chu Kei Hui's right arm straight, the sleeve of her clothes slid down, revealing her white skin. The woman with the silver needle came over and very skillfully gave her an injection.

  The needle pierced into the tendon on her arm, and Chu Ke let out a sharp cry, the pain causing her entire body to convulse.

  The old woman stitched down one needle after another, stitching a dozen or so needles. Chu Ke's body trembled with pain, and tears of pain came out. She cried and shouted: "Don't stitch anymore... Please spare me..."

  The needle-wielding woman finally spoke up: "If you want me to stop, ask your questions honestly."

  Chu Xue cried out: "Don't hit me... everyone who knows says that as long as you don't hit me..."

  "How did your wife die?"

  A nonsensical sentence made Chu Ke'er choke, and that woman very rudely stabbed twice more. Chu Ke'er let out a sharp cry: "My mother died of illness!"

  The old woman snorted: "During the time the lady was ill, it was all Mother Liu who took care of her. Are you two mother and daughter in cahoots to harm the lady? It was originally a minor illness, how did she end up losing her life? She said, as the last word left her mouth, again with two thuds

  Chu Ke's body tightened, she clenched her fists desperately to tense up her muscles and reduce the sharp pain. She cried out in a shrill voice: "Even if it's true, even if Madame is really gone, what good would it do for Concubine Liu? She'd still just be a concubine!"

  "Madam Hum died, and we mother-daughter duo benefited the most."

  "It's not that I was raised by the lady since childhood, how could I collude with my aunt to harm my own mother? Moreover, the lady is gentle and tolerant, Aunt Liu has been serving her for over a decade, how could she suddenly want to harm the lady? And if the new lady can't tolerate others, wouldn't Aunt Liu be lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet?"

  "Hmph! You're indeed glib-tongued!" The old woman angrily shouted and raised her hand to give her a few more needles.

  Chu Kei's sharp cry

  The door was suddenly kicked open by someone. Chu Xiangui's scream had not yet fallen when the woman who was facing away from this side let out a shrill cry. She was kicked in the back of her waist and rolled to one side like a gourd, 'rattling' as she went.

  The silver needle didn't know where it fell, Chu Kei looked up with wide eyes at the person who came in. The man kicked the two women on either side with one foot, and with a reverse and forward chop, the remaining two women also fell to the ground.

  The man stood still, and Chu Ke also saw clearly that it was a young man wearing a dark brown long gown.

  Several old women who were still conscious were rolling around on the ground, groaning. The man had already walked to Chu Ke's side, his face filled with anxiety and heartache, as he reached out to support her and asked: "Ke, are you okay?"

  Chu Xue covered her chest with both hands and looked at him in horror. Who was this person?

  The man suddenly came to his senses, immediately turned his head away, and then saw Chu Xue's clothes on the ground. He hurried over to pick them up, turned around and handed them to her: "Hurry up and put them on."

  Chu Ke's right arm felt numb and weak, with a slight tremble, she hastily took over, first putting on the cotton-padded jacket, her right arm couldn't exert any strength, the two pieces of clothing fell to the ground, she didn't even bother to pick them up, using her left hand to put on the cotton-padded jacket, picking up the shirt and putting it on, her right hand shaking violently, the pain from the needle prick on the inside of her arm was extremely intense.

  She had just put on her jacket and was about to pick up the cloak when the man turned around, hastily bent down to pick it up, shook it open and helped her put it on, and even personally tied the belt for her. He had already noticed that Chu Ke's right arm was shaking violently and asked softly: "Ke, does it still hurt?"

  Chu Xue shook her head, she still didn't know who this person was, but looking at him, he seemed to be very familiar with herself... She didn't dare to speak out loud, afraid of being exposed.

  "Let's go, I'll take you to the main house." The man didn't ask Chu Ke what was going on, and he didn't press the servant girl for answers either, as if he already knew everything.

  Chu Xue nodded slightly, still in a state of shock, and followed him out the door.

  It is by.
