Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved-Chapter 471 She Comes from 1300 Years Later

"Our village is called Xiaoxi Village, very remote, located deep in the big mountains, a whole day’s walk from the nearest town."

Miss Ah Ying replied with a face full of sincerity.

Her gaze was so pure that it involuntarily made people believe everything she said.

And she had no reason to lie about this, since it could be easily checked.

Murong Jiu wanted to ask many more questions, all about Jun Yuyan, but seeing the look in Miss Ah Ying’s eyes, she couldn’t quite pinpoint the feeling in her heart and didn’t ask. She only said:

"You’re called Ah Ying, which Ying? What’s your surname?"

The other party showed a shy expression: "It’s the Ying from Yingluo, I don’t have a formal name, my surname is Wang, I’ve been called Da Hua since I was young, it wasn’t until I met Brother Yan that I begged him to choose a name for me. He said that I was precious like a pearl and so he named me Yingluo."

As she spoke, she gave a shy and timid smile.

Murong Jiu smiled as well: "What a precious name indeed."

Yingluo is made of pearls and other precious materials, only adorned by officials and nobles, truly precious.

Miss Wang Yingluo quickly showed a panicked expression, and knelt on the ground with a thud:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Empress! I did not know Brother Yan’s identity at first, and since he had amnesia, he also didn’t remember taking a wife and having children. My feelings for Brother Yan arose naturally..."

"How dare you!"

Even Chun Tao couldn’t listen any more, she scolded loudly: "What you called His Majesty outside is nobody’s business, but this is the Imperial Palace, you cannot be so presumptuous here!"

Chun Tao feared that Her Majesty would be provoked, as this Wang Yingluo kept referring to "Brother Yan" as if their relationship was incredibly intimate.

Yet they had only been together for barely a month!

His Majesty and Her Majesty were the ones truly devoted to each other, their bond couldn’t be broken by such a woman.

She could see that Wang Yingluo was intentionally displaying her distinct relationship with His Majesty before the Empress.

Naturally, Murong Jiu could see it as well.

Wang Yingluo knelt on the ground as if greatly shocked, and cried out loudly: "Please spare my life, Your Majesty the Empress, I had no intention of offending, it was Yan—His Majesty who allowed me to call him that. I know my mistake now, please, Your Majesty, don’t cast me out of the palace!"

Murong Jiu looked at her coldly: "From what you’re saying, do you plan to stay in the palace forever? Does His Majesty intend to take you as a concubine?"

Wang Yingluo lifted her head, tears already brimming in her eyes.

"His Majesty forbade others from touching him, but he always has headaches, I wish to stay by His Majesty’s side as a Medical Woman, may I, Your Majesty?"

Not allowing others to touch him, only letting her, Wang Yingluo, do so.

Once that person was her, but now it was someone else. Murong Jiu’s heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, chilling and hardening.

Chun Tao snorted: "It seems His Majesty does not wish to take you as a concubine, you’re just relying on having saved His Majesty’s life to deliberately cling to him!"

Wang Yingluo’s tears fell silently, she shook her head without speaking.

She looked just like a pair of mandarin ducks being beaten apart, filled with silent grievances.

Suddenly, Murong Jiu felt extremely weary. She waved her hand, about to tell her to leave, when suddenly a bright yellow figure burst in.

She was somewhat dazed, as if returning to the times when Jun Yuyan would rush to her palace, she instinctively stood up to greet him, but saw Jun Yuyan helping Wang Yingluo stand up, then turned his head with a cold gaze to look at her and said:

"Empress, Ah Ying comes from the common folk in the countryside and does not know the rules. If there is anything that has upset Your Majesty, just send someone to find me, and I will personally teach Ah Ying."

The implication was that it wasn’t her place, as the Empress, to be giving orders around here.

Chun Tao and Hong Yi were so angry that their faces turned red.

Murong Jiu’s complexion paled, and she stepped back.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress hasn’t..."

Chun Tao tried to explain on behalf of Murong Jiu.

Before she could finish speaking, she was harshly interrupted by Jun Yuyan, "I am speaking to the Empress; it’s not your place, a mere palace maid, to interject."

Chun Tao, in disbelief, was pulled down to kneel by Hong Yi. Together they bowed their heads to the ground and stopped speaking.

The Emperor now seemed like a completely different person.

Hong Yi was concerned that Chun Tao had angered the Emperor, fearing punishment by beating or even beheading.

Murong Jiu, as Jun Yuyan’s beloved, understood him better than anyone else. No matter how heartbroken she was, she couldn’t help but step forward and reach out to grab Jun Yuyan’s hand.

Jun Yuyan stiffened at the gesture, his gaze fixed on Murong Jiu. After a moment, he pulled his hand away and stepped back with Wang Yingluo.

Murong Jiu looked down at her empty hand with a vacant expression. Her frail figure seemed as if it would collapse at any moment.

Wang Yingluo stood behind Jun Yuyan, her lips slightly curled in a smirk, with a flash of triumph in her eyes.

She unabashedly gazed at the beautiful Empress in front of her, pitiable and delicate like a flower that could be toppled by a mere breeze. Even emaciated as she was, her face was still unspeakably beautiful, reminiscent of the sickly Xi Shi, stirring one’s pity. Truly, she lived up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman in history, just as the annals described.

A pity, no matter how pitiable, it would do her no good.

The peerlessly handsome Emperor Jun Yuyan, once tender and compassionate only towards the Empress in history, now had his affections diverted to another because of her arrival. The couple that was once expected to live in harmonious love and grow old together, the Emperor and Empress, would no longer exist.

She had altered history.

Soon, the woman second only to one and above thousands would no longer be Murong Jiu, but her, Wang Yingluo, the Hypnotist who traveled from thirteen hundred years in the future.

Almost everyone in Huaxia knew the history of Great Yan, and she was no exception. In fact, as a child, she had most envied the couple, Jun Yuyan and Murong Jiu. There were even many fan-written books about them in later generations.

She had time-traveled to Xiaoxi Village three years ago, a place notorious for its poverty and unruly inhabitants. The original Wang Dahua was almost beaten to death by other villagers, but with her outstanding hypnotic abilities, she managed to change her fate.

Yet, she was nothing more than a village girl. To completely alter her destiny, she had to leave the small mountain village. Knowing the course of history, aware of those who would reach the zenith of power, such as Lou Zixi—who would become the youngest Prime Minister in history—she just needed to marry Lou Zixi to enjoy wealth and honor.

But she felt this wasn’t enough. Her time-travel indicated that she was Heaven’s Chosen Maiden, destined to become the most revered woman beneath the heavens.

An idea took root in her heart—she wanted to be the Empress! freewёbnoνel.com

She knew when Jun Yuyan would ascend the throne and was aware of the significant disaster waiting in his fate. So, she laid low for three years, perfecting her plans until, at last, she waited for the moment Jun Yuyan fell from the cliff!

During the time Jun Yuyan was unconscious, she hypnotized him daily, implanting a memory—years ago, he had been injured in a valley and was saved by a village girl. They spent days together and developed feelings, but due to the war, they had to part ways.

The Emperor Jun Yuyan, historically known for his steadfast love, was manipulated by Wang Yingluo who capitalized on this trait, erasing all of his memories with Murong Jiu and instead, making him believe that his profound love was not for Murong Jiu but for her.

Transferring all of his devotion onto herself.

Look, the pair that once loved each other deeply were now strangers in Jun Yuyan’s eyes, treating his former beloved as a stranger.
