Jiangshan Dream

Chapter 1

Lin Feng slowly regained consciousness in the darkness.

The surrounding light was extremely dim, and her vision was blurred. She could only hear voices beside her, clear and melodious, clearly belonging to several women. She couldn't help but frown slightly. What? She survived the car crash into the valley? Wasn't she incredibly lucky?

A clear voice said, "The Crown Prince is too merciful. Consort Feng only tried to drown herself once, yet he has already revoked the punishment for her family's rebellion against her. If people knew this, what would they think?"

A chill ran through him. Consort Feng? Who is that?

Not yet fully aware of the situation, the ever-cautious Lin Feng dared not let others know that she was awake. She merely squinted and glanced around, and the scenery around her made her gasp inwardly.

The black wooden bed, the silk quilt, the bed was three meters high and covered with light gauze. The antique building made Lin Feng alert. Where was she...?

However, she was aware that it couldn't be the 21st century anyway. Could it be that she had encountered the legendary time travel? But Lin Feng was in pain all over and didn't know what had happened. She could only find out from the people around her. After making up her mind, she turned her head slightly to look at the women.

The angle was extremely poor; the women couldn't see her, and she couldn't see clearly either because of the layers of gauze hanging above the bed. She could only see a woman in green, a woman in brightly colored clothes, and a woman in yellow, all dressed in ancient costumes. Lin Feng thought to herself, "Could I have encountered some kind of ghost?" She secretly pinched herself hard, but only received a pain that almost made her jump.

If it hurts, it's not a dream. She cried out in her heart, but she continued listening.

The woman in yellow said, “We don’t need to care what the Crown Prince thinks. In his eyes, this Lan Feng is just a minor concubine, nothing special. But sisters, you all know that yesterday, when Physician Li came to examine her injuries, he clearly said that there was no hope and that she had stopped breathing. How come she is alive and well today? I think there must be something strange about this.”

The other two women casually echoed her words, their tone evasive, seemingly both afraid and resentful of the woman in yellow, yet unable to say anything in front of her.

The woman in yellow sneered, saying with a hint of malice, "Since ancient times, beautiful women have been a source of trouble. Being so beautiful, she's clearly a menace. If she were to stay in the palace for a long time, wouldn't she ruin my grand plan? Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about beauty and demoted her to this Changpan Palace. Hmph, the Crown Prince's relationship with Lan Feng is at most a political marriage; there's no affection between them!"

“The Crown Princess is right. Lan Feng’s place is filled with malevolent energy. We should leave quickly.” The woman in green said with a smile, while tugging at the girl in colorful robes. The girl wasn’t so afraid of the Crown Princess and hurriedly said, “Sister Rong, Sister Zhao, let’s go. I came to visit Consort Feng on the orders of my brother, the Prince. Since she is out of danger and safe, we should leave as soon as possible.”

"Hmph, where would demons and monsters come to such a place! Ling'er, later ask a ghost-catching sorcerer to cleanse Changpan Palace of its evil aura, and say it's a gift from my Crown Princess!" The woman in yellow snorted arrogantly, and the maid named Ling'er replied, "Yes!" Only then did the Crown Princess say, "Sister Rongfei, Princess, let's go."

In a short while, the eunuchs and palace maids called out to each other and left.

The conversation between the three just now greatly helped Lin Feng, and he also learned about his ridiculous identity in this world.

The Crown Prince's women? A Crown Prince who hasn't even ascended the throne yet already has so many women, how can he accomplish anything great? Lying on the bed, Lin Feng smiled coldly without any hurry.

After quickly considering her situation, Lin Feng realized that she must have died and her soul had left her body to travel to another world. This Tiancheng Kingdom was not famous in history, so it probably wasn't China. She didn't even know what this time and space was like.

Lin Feng had no intention of dying. In fact, she had never wanted to die. Perhaps it was her strong will to live that caused her to transmigrate? Now that she finally had another chance to live, how could she be willing to give it up? Her body was probably that of Consort Lan Feng, who was persecuted to death by the Crown Princess in yellow. Being in the deep palace, she had to be vigilant about everything. She just didn't know what kind of woman Lan Feng was.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng opened her half-closed eyes. She had been dozing for half a day, but the surroundings were strangely quiet. Even if she was a disgraced concubine, she was still a concubine, right? There wasn't even a single palace maid or eunuch? Moreover, the furnishings around her were simple, unlike those in the imperial palace. Just now, the Crown Princess said that this was Changpan Palace. Could it be that this was not in the imperial palace?

That's true. Only when she's not in the palace would the Crown Princess dare to kill her. After all, Lan Feng is a concubine. If she were to die peacefully in the palace, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

Upon realizing this, a cry of "Oh no!" immediately welled up in Lin Feng's heart! He secretly groaned, wondering if the Crown Princess was not satisfied with her already surviving once and was going to try to kill him a second time.

Hmph! Crown Princess, I can't control how you killed Lan Feng, but if you dare to mess with me...

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, but he cleverly concealed it immediately, and Lin Feng leaped up without making a sound.

Very good. It seems Lan Feng comes from a military family and has even practiced martial arts. After familiarizing herself with her body a little, she has even greater potential to injure people than her original body. It's a pity I didn't bring my silver-light silenced gun, otherwise, with her marksman skills, one shot would send that Crown Princess to hell!

What a ridiculous time travel! If you're going to time travel, why not just go into a man's body? Lin Feng isn't used to women's clothing, whether it's ancient or modern.

The surroundings remained eerily quiet. Lin Feng was adept at hiding in the shadows. She quietly approached the doorway and found no guards. Just as she was about to leap out, a tremendous force burst through the door and rushed in. A gleaming broadsword was swiftly placed against her neck before she could react: "Don't move! Don't make a sound!"

A deep, magnetic male voice commanded. Her heart skipped a beat, but she obediently remained still and glanced at the man sideways.

With his long, narrow phoenix eyes and handsome features, he exuded a domineering kingly aura from within, making him an absolutely rare beauty! Goodness! Lin Feng gave this man a perfect score in terms of appearance. His eyes darted around, and he immediately pretended to be staring at him in a daze.

The man glanced back at her, and seeing her expression, he was unmoved by her beauty. Instead, he snorted coldly, "If you want to live, you'd better obey me. Once I take over the Crown Prince's Changpan Palace, I will naturally release you."

Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Let her go? Such nonsense might fool other women of this era, but she wouldn't believe a word of it! Just based on the domineering aura emanating from this man, there was no way he would let her go.

A king, a king born with the power of life and death, would never care about the life of a woman, no matter how beautiful she is. In times of war, leaving any enemy alive is a source of trouble! He did not make a move at this moment only because the situation outside was unclear, and she was dressed in fine clothes and seemed to be a person of importance, so he could take her as a hostage.

Lin Feng understood what he was thinking, because Lin Feng herself was also a ruthless person, and if she were asked to do it, she would only be more ruthless. However, it was not a good idea to fall out with this handsome man right now, so she was thinking about how to get out of the situation, while casually saying "hmm" and pretending to believe him.

The sounds of weapons clashing outside the door grew louder and louder, and Lin Feng felt his breathing becoming increasingly suffocated. He glanced at the stunningly handsome man and suddenly a plan formed in his mind.

Main text, part two, missing the key points

This handsome man wants to kill her; her greatest victory is simply to keep her alive. Clearly, her martial arts skills are no match for this dashing man, as evidenced by the fact that she was discovered as soon as she crept to the doorway. Therefore, she cannot fight him head-on.

So, how can we lower his guard?

A glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he suddenly bent down, stumbled, and rolled on the ground, his hands and feet trembling. He looked as if he had suffered a relapse of a serious illness.

The handsome man frowned, clearly startled. He let out a cold snort, and a sharp glint flashed in his narrow, piercing eyes. Suddenly, he thrust his sword into her back. Lin Feng neither dodged nor evaded, taking the blow head-on. She "fainted" without even uttering a sound.

The handsome man's cold light gradually faded upon seeing this. Only when he saw that she remained motionless did he slightly relax his guard. His sword strike was merely a test; it hadn't penetrated deeply, and she hadn't bled much. He had simply sealed a few acupoints around her, and she was fine. Seeing that she had fainted, he scooped her up and leaped out the door.

Lin Feng had secretly cursed him to death, and she was still not at ease. This man was truly terrifying! If she hadn't sensed the danger posed by this man and had no other choice, she wouldn't have chosen to harm herself. However, in order to save her life for the time being, she had no choice but to do so.

The sounds of fighting had stopped. The handsome man carried her into the vast courtyard. The sounds of armor and weapons clashing were constant. A large number of soldiers had arrived beside them, followed by two more men who flew over.

Lin Feng used the same trick again, squinting to observe, but now that he was hanging on this dangerous man, he had to be extra careful.

The soldiers surrounded the three men, saluted them, then stepped back three paces and stood still. They must be their men.

“Heavens! Crown Prince Lei Ran has already left Changpan Palace. It was around this morning. We captured a young palace maid who was terrified and acting crazy. We interrogated her for quite a while before we got any information out of her,” said the white-robed man with a sword.

Seeing the handsome man carrying the beautiful Lin Feng, another man in blue asked curiously, "My lord, who is she?" Everyone knew that their lord was not interested in women, so could he be moved by such a stunning beauty?

"She was kidnapped halfway through the journey. I don't know why she was left alone in Luanfeng Palace. But since Lei Ran kept her, the news that Princess Lanfeng is deeply favored by Lei Ran must be false. We underestimated this Crown Prince!" The handsome man threw Lin Feng to the ground and said coldly, "This woman is a notorious beauty, a famous beauty in my Yin Sang. But she is a woman in the deep palace. What use is she? If it weren't for not wanting Lei Ran's scheme to succeed, and if this woman wasn't so weak, I would have killed her as soon as I saw her!"

The man in blue hurriedly said, "My lord, you mustn't! This woman cannot be killed for the time being. Our Beichen Kingdom is currently at war with Xi Lan. This woman may not be important to Lei Ran, but the news of Lei Ran's debauchery and his affair with Consort Feng is known throughout the land. Keeping her alive can restrain Lei Ran. After all, he is currently biding his time and will not send troops to our country."

The handsome man nodded, his domineering eyes sweeping over the crowd: "Lei Ran wants to use this woman as an excuse to start a war with us. Indeed, we cannot kill her. Place Lan Feng under house arrest and discuss the matter further when Lei Ran arrives."
