C1 Rebirth

Early summer, China's main continent, Lan Xin Country, the Imperial Capital.

A sharp pain went through his head.

Gu Hongzhuang seemed to have been asleep for a long time, her eyelids were as heavy as stone, and she seemed to be able to hear faintly discernible shouts and gradually approaching footsteps. She wanted to get up and reply, but all the strength in her body seemed to have been sucked away.

The soft shattering sound was already within reach. Suddenly, Gu Hongzhuang felt her entire body being lifted up into the air by someone. In an instant, she was surrounded by a strong masculine aura.

That hug was very stiff and broad, but it lacked a bit of warmth. It made people feel cold, but at the same time, it also made her feel very familiar.

Gu Hongzhuang leaned against that person's shoulder, trying her best to open her eyes so that she could clearly see his face. The dense sunlight landed on his face and formed a halo of light, she could only vaguely make out that person's lips.

That person seemed to have felt Gu Hongzhuang's gaze and lowered his head to glance at her.

Gu Hong Yan wanted to open her mouth to speak to him, but in the end, she was unable to resist that strong sense of fatigue and fainted.

The sun rose over the third fragment of the night.

Gu Hong Yan had been lying on the bed for two days and one night. She was mumbling something nonstop while cold sweat flowed down her forehead. Her pretty eyebrows were knotted tightly, and she was tossing and turning from side to side.

As if she was dreaming, Gu Hongzhuang screamed and immediately woke up from her dream to sit up. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with pain, as if she had experienced something unspeakably painful.

But gradually, surprise and doubt took the place of all of Gu Hong Yan's emotions. She looked around and her mind went blank. The unfamiliar room, the strange decorations, everything about it was foreign to her …

And why was she still alive? Clearly … She should be dead, so how could she still be alive?

Gu Hongzhuang lifted the bed curtain and stepped out of the bed barefooted. Step by step, she slowly approached the mirror on the dressing table.

The girl in the mirror was delicate and refined. Her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and her brows were filled with a clear and cold expression. However, her face was only ordinary and could barely be called above average.

However … Although the person in the mirror had familiar eyes and a face that was sixty to seventy percent similar to hers, one could still clearly make out that this face was not Gu Hongzhuang at all.

"Allure …!"

Gu Hong Yan didn't have much time to think before the call from the outer room brought her back to her thoughts. It was a woman with a maidservant following behind her.

"Ruo'er, you're finally awake! It's been two days, you're so anxious!" Luo Qingyun quickly went over to help Gu Hongzhuang up. Her harsh words were laced with concern, "You've just recovered from your illness. How can you be barefoot like this? What if you get a chill?"

She was about thirty years old, and her long hair was tied up behind her head with a hairpin. She did not look frivolous, but instead had a noble and graceful air about her, like a peony in full bloom. She was not soft, but had a heroic air about her, and time had treated her very generously.

"..." "Mother?" Gu Hong Yan raised her head and gave a probing cry. Her expression was still lifeless, clearly having yet to recover her strength. "I am …" "Who?"

"What's wrong with you, Ruo'er? Don't scare me like that." The woman was stunned for a moment. She touched Gu Hongluo's forehead and said anxiously, "Hurry and call the doctor!"

The maidservant by the side bowed respectfully and hurriedly left the room.

When the doctor arrived, Gu Hongzhuang was still lying in the same position on the bed. Her mind was in a mess, and the scattered memories made her feel extremely heavy. It was as if she was in a dream.

The doctor gave her a pulse, saying that she had been stimulated and had fallen into water, that she had hit a stone and passed out, that she had a slight fever, that her body was still weak, that her pulse was weak, that her brain might be in a mess when she woke up, that she would recover in a few days, and that she had prescribed a medicine.

Gu Hongzhuang said that he wanted to rest for a while by himself. Although Luo Qingyun was not particularly at ease, she was still not as patient as Gu Ruoyun. She only said before she left that she must be taken good care of by Painted Beauty.

After Luo Qingyun had left, as if she had drawn a picture of a medicinal herb, Gu Hongzhuang got off the bed again and walked to the mirror. She silently looked at her face in the mirror which was not very familiar to her.

The room was filled with the lingering fragrance of sandalwood, which had turned into wisps of fragrance that wafted into his nose.

After a long time, Gu Hong Yan looked at the person in the mirror and said with difficulty, "Am I alive or …?" "Die?"

If she was born, then why did she become someone else?

If she was dead, then what was she doing now?

After staying in this unfamiliar place for two days, Gu Hongzhuang had casually probed around for information from the Painted Man. After filtering through all the information in her mind, she had basically figured out where she was.

Gu Hongzhuang never thought that this place would be the residence of the founding general of the dynasty, Su Yan. She also never expected that she would wake up and turn into the Su family's daughter, Su Suigrong. She flew up the tree branch and became a phoenix.

Although they shared some similarities between their brows, they were indeed two women with very different temperaments. Su Furey was gentle and elegant, whereas Gu Hongzhuang was proud and elegant.

It could be said that because of an accident, Gu Hongzhuang had met this Su Fuling before, but their lives were as different as the sky and the earth. In the capital of the Lanshui Kingdom, there were a few people who had not heard of Su Xiaoru's peerless talent and beauty, and even though Gu Hongzhuang had only known her for a short period of time, she could tell that her personality was very gentle and graceful. Although her appearance wasn't as beautiful as the rumors claimed, a woman like this, even Gu Hongzhuang couldn't help but want to get close with her, much less a man.

But now, she had taken over Su Ling's body, but she didn't know where the original Su Ling had gone to. She had been revived from the dead, so could it be that she was replacing Gu Hong Yan's body … Is he dead?

Gu Hongzhuang was depressed and her heart was always feeling a little uncomfortable. If it really was like this, how could she face Su Xiaoru?

"Sis, what are you thinking about? You look so absent-minded, I called you a few times but you ignored me."

Gu Hong Yan turned her head to see that there was an extra person in the yard. He looked extremely young and had an extremely handsome appearance, but he was only half a year old.

She could roughly guess who this young man in front of her was. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and even called her elder sister. In that case, other than Su Muqing, there wouldn't be a second person.

Su Muqing was Su Yan's youngest son. Su Yan's wife, Luo Qingyun, had both been a daughter in her first two lives. One was Su Suoruo, the other was Su Ruyuan, who was two years younger than Su Suoruo and was also a beauty.

As for Su Muqing, she had her son, the old general. He was the youngest in the family, so naturally he was doted on. He had been raised in the palm of his hand since he was young. However, although Su Muqing was a spoiled little young master, other than his slightly mischievous personality, he did not cause any trouble.

It had to be said that Su Yan and Luo Qingyun were very confident in educating their children.

"Are you free today? Why did you think of my courtyard?" Gu Hong Yan didn't feel guilty, so she didn't pretend to be Su Suo Ruo. She raised her teacup and sipped on her tea.

"Didn't I hear that something had happened to you? I just came back and immediately came to find you." Su Muqing asked with concern, "Sis, are you alright?"

"I've only been at Uncle Yun Dian's house for half a month, how could something like that happen to you? You were even kidnapped when you left your house, I feel that you should stay at home in the future, what will happen if something happens to you?" I heard from my mother that you were... "Yes …" She stopped here for a moment, seeing that Gu Hong Yan's expression was normal, she then continued, "She was rescued by the Fifth Prince. When she returned, she was completely drenched and only had the Fifth Prince's shirt on, is that true?"

Gu Hong Yan thought back to the person she saw and felt in her embrace that day. She bitterly smiled. No wonder she felt that it was so familiar … She had heard everything from the maid and Luo Qingyun.

However, when he heard that name, his eyes couldn't help but ripple, but his heart was completely silent.

"Sis, don't be too sad." Su Muqing thought that her sister had heard of the rumors outside. When she thought of that, she revealed a comforting expression, "It's just a rumour, no one will take it seriously. Don't worry about it, you need to rest."

Gu Hongzhuang calmed herself down. Hearing Su Muqing's words, even if she didn't hear the rumors, she could guess that an unmarried girl was carried home in men's clothes. What rumors could she possibly have?

The moment she came, her reputation was ruined. She was truly …

Gu Hongzhuang shook her head. Things had already come to this point, so she had no choice but to settle things as she came.

"Hey, have you heard? That red card from the Agarwood Restaurant hasn't shown his face for several days. I heard that he died suddenly."

"Sudden death? "Why did I hear that she pretended to offend someone she shouldn't have, and that's why …"

"No matter what, it's a pity. A young girl went just like that. There were quite a few young masters and masters lamenting outside."

"Heh, what a pity, perhaps it's just a pity that I haven't tasted that lady's freshness. I heard from others that she is the most beautiful in the Agarwood Restaurant, and she is also someone who sells her skills but not her body."

"You don't sell yourself for acting? To put it nicely, how can you be clean in that place? "

"So what if it's not clean? Haven't you heard what kind of face Gu Hongzhuang has? I'm afraid our two young misses are unable to match up to her … "

"Second Miss is already beautiful enough … Could it be that Gu Hongzhuang really does look like a Heavenly Immortal? "

When Gu Hongzhuang returned to her room, she was abruptly stunned. She inadvertently heard a few servants whispering to each other at the back of the courtyard. The main character they were talking about was not unfamiliar to her. The one speaking to them was herself, Gu Hongzhuang.
