The imperial doctor concluded that she would not live to be twenty-five.
The prince was more than polite to her and showed no affection at all. When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty mentioned the princess, they only sighed: It's a pity, she won't live long.
No one knew that this terminally ill woman was the last princess of the previous dynasty. When she was eight years old, her mother covered her with her own blood. She lay under the corpse for three days and three nights, listening to the iron hooves of the Xiao family's army marching through the hall.
Then she got up and swore: No one from the Xiao family would be spared.
After lying dormant for ten years, she used her illness as a cover to turn the princes, powerful ministers, and generals into her pawns. The prince thought she was a lucky star, the third prince thought she was a sick cat, and the emperor thought she would not survive the next month.
Until the rebels besieged the city, she slowly got up from her bed and sent a letter to the rebel camp.
That night, the enemy leader knelt outside her courtyard: "Young Master, it's time to go home and take charge."
Only then did everyone realize that this dying woman was the real chess player.
And the gentle and jade-like imperial physician next to her discovered her secret from the first pulse diagnosis. He did not report, but silently knelt down. Later, he blocked the knife for her, took the blame, and sneaked into the enemy camp. He gave her all his tenderness, but she never responded.
"I don't ask for your Majesty's love, I just want to stay by your Majesty's side."
"Is it worth it?"
"Worth it."
Before she died, she left a last edict: "In my life, I will be worthy of the world and only one person."
No one knows who that "person" is
No one knew that her name was engraved on the hosta he held in his hand.
Sick skin × Queen of Revenge × Imperial Physician's loyal dog × The path of the Empress - She has been playing a chess game for ten years, but she only missed one person.
