That night, in the kingdom of Southern Yennis.
The white flags fluttered at the entrance of the Mathisolowen Palace, and the dark paper filled the sky. People with grief-stricken faces knelt on both sides of the hall inside the main hall.
Housekeeper Zachary had already cried his eyes red and swollen, holding back his grief and ordering people to nail the coffin, preparing for the burial tomorrow.
As they were nailing the coffin, the coffin board was suddenly knocked on from the inside, and a woman's voice came out.
"Open the coffin quickly, your prince is not dead yet!"
The servant nailing the coffin paused and looked at Zachary in astonishment.
Zachary took a deep breath and said, "Nail it up quickly! The princess must be unwilling to be buried and looking for an excuse to get out!"
The people all thought it made sense and immediately sped up the nailing of the coffin.
They were not fools. If the princess escaped, their heads would be on the line.
Ursula, who was lying in the coffin, saw that the people outside not only didn't open the coffin but also speeded up the nailing of the coffin. She frowned tightly.
How could these people not care about their prince's life and death at all, and instead wished he would die quickly?
"Princess, please forgive us, we are just following orders. We really have no choice..."
At this moment, a pleading sound came from outside, making Ursula feel suffocated in her heart.
Others who have traveled through time become queens, princesses, or favored princesses. How come it's her turn to start with a burial?
Fortunately, there was a luminous pearl buried with her in the coffin, so she wouldn't wake up in total darkness.
Ursula looked at the man beside her under the light of the luminous pearl. Although his face was somewhat thin and pale, his features were exceptionally handsome, making him a rare beauty.
The new memories in her head told her that this man was Mathis, the fourth prince of the Southern Yennis Kingdom. He was the most beloved son of the Southern Yennis Emperor.
Half a month ago, Mathis was poisoned by a strange toxin. Despite the efforts of all the imperial physicians in the palace, they were unable to save him.
Watching the dying Mathis, the Emperor of Southern Yennis was heartbroken. Feeling pity that his son would die before marrying, he ordered people to find a suitable woman to be buried with him so that he wouldn't be lonely on the road to the underworld.
The woman's status couldn't be too low; she had to be at least a legitimate daughter and had to be willing to offer herself. The family of the woman who volunteered would be promoted and have a bright future.
However, everyone in the court knew that Prince Mathis was undoubtedly going to die, so no one was willing to offer their own legitimate daughter to accompany his burial.
After many officials hesitated, the Minister of Justice, Antonin, suddenly thought of his late wife's daughter, who was raised in a suburban estate. His daughter had been foolish and ugly since childhood, with a birthmark on her face. However, she could barely cover it with makeup. She was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice, which was more than enough for her to accompany Prince Mathis's burial.
Trading an idiotic daughter for the glory of the whole family was a fair deal. So Antonin did not hesitate to offer his daughter.
Later, the people of the Nan family rushed to the suburban estate, brought Ursula back to their home, and applied thick makeup on her face to cover her birthmark. Then, she was sent to Prince Mathis's residence overnight, where she and Prince Mathis were both placed in coffins.
Emperor Southern Yennis, fearing that the Nan family would go back on their word, immediately ordered someone to place Ursula on the royal jade plate, effectively tying her fate to that of Mathis.
However, what outsiders didn't know was that the Nan family, fearing that Ursula would resist, had already drugged her with a large bowl of a sleeping potion. As a result, she died of an overdose. Thus, the current Ursula came into existence.
Now, the person in this body is the modern ace military doctor Ursula.
Not only does she possess superb medical skills, but she also has a wealth of military experience and combat experience.
In short, she is a world apart from the foolish Ursula of the past.
With Ursula's skills, she could easily push open the coffin and escape. However, the servants outside who followed orders would undoubtedly do everything they could to capture her and bring her back to be buried.
The command to bury her alive came personally from Emperor Southern Yennis, and if this task failed, everyone present would lose their heads.
In ancient times, the power of the emperor was supreme. If she wanted to survive, she would have to save Murong's life first.
It was precisely because of this knowledge that the first thing she did after waking up was to check on Murong's condition.
Indeed, Mathis had been poisoned, with a slow-acting poison called Bai Ri San.
The most peculiar thing about this poison is that, ninety days after the poisoning, the victim would fall into a state of apparent death.
If they couldn't be saved within the last ten days, on the hundredth day, they would die without any hope of medical intervention.
Ordinary people who didn't know about this poison might hold a funeral and bury the victim when they appeared dead, eventually causing the victim to suffocate in the coffin.
This is why Bai Ri San is ranked among the most potent poisons.
Fortunately, Mathis's poisoning had not yet reached a hundred days, so there was still hope.
However, Ursula had no silver needles at hand, and even her body was not her own. How could she save him while lying in a coffin?
Just as Ursula was thinking about this, a box of silver needles suddenly appeared in her hands out of nowhere.
Eh, where did these come from?
As she was puzzling over this, she suddenly noticed a huge space forming above her head...
