As Xiao Chen rapidly organized the countless memories flooding his mind, he instinctively tried to rise from the bed,
Unfortunately—the body beneath him was simply too weak,his muscles trembled,his legs lacked strength,the moment he attempted to stand, his vision blurred.
THUD!
He fell heavily onto the cold floor pain shot through his body .Xiao Chen's face darkened.In his previous life, a single thought from him could shake entire realms.
Yet now... he could not even stand properly.what a joke.Outside the chamber, a young servant heard the sound and immediately rushed inside.
Your Highness?" he servant pushed open the door,the next moment—his entire body froze,his eyes widened, his face turned pale.
The Crown Prince...
The Crown Prince who had been declared dead only moments ago...Was crawling across the floor trying to stand.The servant stared blankly.His mind went completely blank.Then—
"GH-GHOST!"
The servant let out a terrified scream,his voice echoed throughout the residence.
"The Crown Prince has become a ghost!, "The Crown Prince has become a ghost!"
The commotion immediately attracted everyone nearby. The Servants, Guards, Maids. They rushed toward the room one after another, they crowded around the entrance.
Then they saw it.
The supposedly dead Crown Prince slowly pushing himself upright,his pale face lacked all color,his robes were stained with blood,his body swayed unsteadily.
Yet those eyes...Those eyes were unlike anything they had ever seen. Calm, Ancient, indifferent.As though they had witnessed the rise and fall of countless worlds.The room fell silent .
Nobody dared move,nobody dared speak,they simply stared. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen was becoming increasingly irritated.
after several failed attempts, he finally managed to support himself against a nearby table.
His breathing became uneven, this body's condition was worse than he had imagined,he slowly raised his head and looked at the dumbfounded crowd.For a moment, the aura of the former Celestial Monarch unconsciously leaked out the temperature in the room dropped,everyone felt an inexplicable pressure descend upon them.
Then—Xiao Chen frowned.
His voice was hoarse yet carried unquestionable authority. Are all of you fools?"The servants trembled. I have been trying to stand for quite some time,his gaze swept across the room.And yet none of you thought to help me?"
The room instantly became deathly silent,the servants exchanged nervous glances.For some reason...the Crown Prince before them felt completely different.As if a sleeping dragon had suddenly opened its eyes.
A middle-aged maid was the first to react,She hurried forward and helped support him.
"Y-Your Highness..."Please be careful." Xiao Chen nodded slightly,At least one of them still possessed a functioning brain.
Just as he was about to speak—the memories of the original prince suddenly surfaced once more and among those memories...One face appeared repeatedly.
The Queen.
The very woman who controlled the Great Zhou Dynasty from behind the curtain.Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed.A cold light
flashed deep within them.
The poison in this body...the palace politics...the struggle for the throne...
It seemed his new life would not be as peaceful as he had hoped.
