Xian slowly opened his eyes, he couldn't believe it. He was alive! He pinch himself confirming that this is not a dream, feeling the pain on his skin Xian felt nothing but happiness. He never thought that he would be given a chance to live once again. Suddenly he felt pain in his head, he felt that his brain was being stabbed repeatedly. Xian wanted to scream but no sound came out of his mouth.
After the horrifying experience that felt like it's been forever, Xian realized that tons of unknown information had suddenly been implanted in his brain. It was the memories of the former owner of his current body. A tyrant king that will die in the hand of his own Queen that will most likely happen four months from now.
Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he has been given a second chance to live but he is still destined to die within a couple of months from now. It's really a bad joke.
No! He will not die, not now, not ever. He had been given a second chance, he needed to do something to escape his foreshadowing death. He needs a plan. Xian thought to himself.
" Your majesty, it's time for you to change for the morning court." A voice came from outside.
If he remembers correctly his name is Anlu the eunuch who served by the original owner's side for a quite time now.
" You may enter." Xian replied remembering how the former owner of the body acted.
Hearing their king's approval the palace maids and Anlu entered the room and attended to their King's needs. Xian felt awkward about the whole process, never in his life that he felt being taken care off, not to mention being dressed by another person. Still he chose to remain acting like it's natural, just like the original owner was.
The original owner was a pampered prince who never dressed by himself so it would be weird if he suddenly acted out of character. Though it was awkward for him, all he could do was endure.
After changing his attire appropriate for the morning court, Xian headed straight toward his destination while still thinking on how on earth he's going to survive for the next four months.
Suddenly an idea struck him.
Thinking about it, his queen's reason to kill him is due to the former owner's cruelty; treating his Queen as a toy discarding him after the act. That bastard really deserved what he got, no I take that back that bastard deserves more, he should be killed in the most horrible way possible. Xian thought to himself.
That to say he is now in the body of 'that' bastard King no matter how much he hates that bastard he couldn't let himself get killed for no reason.
If his queen wanted to kill him because of the original's cruelty then he just needs to do the opposite that the tyrant king did and treat his queen nicely until his queen gives up the idea of impaling him with a sword.
Kind to think of it, he remembers that his Queen is a former general that has been forced to marry the original owner because of the original owner's orders.
If he remembered correctly the original owner did that to hold down his queen family's power. The former owner is scared of the rapid growth of the queen's family not only in military strengths but also in political aspects, not to mention their large scope of influence and connections; it's not surprising that the former owner wants to keep them out of the picture. If he remembers correctly, according to the original owner's memories his 'Queen' is undoubtedly a 'Male' that's said to be so beautiful that he could bring down a whole country.
A general, and a male Queen, well this could be interesting. Xian's thought to himself as lips slowly curved forming a smirk.
Finally arriving at the court Xian suddenly stops before entering the hall and faces his Eunuch.
" Anlu, tell the Rece Palace that I would be having my breakfast there later after the morning court" hearing what the king just said, Anlu was a bit shocked but nevertheless he didn't question the king. He bowed down and proceeded with his orders; he knows more than anyone else the consequences of questioning the king.
After the meeting ended Xian couldn't help but massage his head. The so-called 'meeting' was a disaster. His minister kept fighting in front of him until he was irritated enough to even want to hear anyone's nonsense, but still looking at the way the meeting proceeded earlier he could tell that some of his ministers were hiding something from him. Though he knows that some of his ministers are corrupt, Xian currently doesn't know who were the saints and who were the snakes .
Massaging his temples Xian headed toward his queen's place with a deep thought, he didn't even realize that he had arrived until Anlu told him.
Looking at the group of people bowing their heads only one captured his eyes.
He was white as snow, he's a little skinny for his age but it doesn't hinder anyone admiring his beauty. He had a pair of teal colored eyes that matched well with his long silver hair. Xian's lips slowly curved but immediately he composed himself.
Yes, his Queen is a beauty.
