"Yes!" Chunmei stepped forward to take the pharmacy and rushed out in a hurry.

"Xiuying... Xiuying... What's wrong with you... How could you faint...?" A roar came from afar, and Zhu Yuanzhang rushed in like a gust of wind. The two eunuchs behind him were panting and followed closely. Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a yellow round-necked Hanfu, with long sleeves and wide shoulders. A purple jade pendant was tied to the ribbon on his waist. The jade pendant was crystal clear and vaguely exuded auspicious aura, which made people realize that it was extraordinary at a glance. With Zhu Yuanzhang's "concave" appearance, he also gave birth to a powerful force.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked straight to Chongqian and shouted with concern: "Xiuying..."

Ma's original surname is Ma, and his father Ma Gong was righteous and generous, and his family became increasingly poor. His mother, Zheng Ma, died shortly after she gave birth to Ma.

Ma Gong had no son and regarded Xiuying as the pearl in his hand. Xiuying was smart since childhood, able to write poetry and painting, and was particularly good at historical books. He was also quite stubborn. According to the customs at that time, women all tied their feet, and Xiuying was determined not to tie them, and was known as "Ma Big Foot".

Xiuying's father, Ma Gong, fled to a foreign land because of murder and evading hatred. Before leaving, he entrusted his beloved daughter Xiuying to his friend Guo Zixing, a life-and-death friend. Guo Zixing regarded her as his own. Later, he heard that Ma Gong died in another place and felt sorry for the lonely woman and raised her. Guo Zixing taught her words, and his wife Zhang taught her knitting and embroidery step by step. Xiuying, who was over teenagers, was extremely smart and knew immediately after guidance. Ma Xiuying, who was nearly twenty, had a good figure, dignified appearance, beautiful but not gorgeous, beautiful but not arrogant. She also had a gentle attitude. No matter what urgent matters, she always behaved calmly and did not speak harshly, so Guo Zixing and his wife loved her very much. Every time she wanted to join her with a partner, she would have a lifelong entrustedness and live up to Ma Gong's last words.

Soon, Guo Zixing was unable to bear the tyranny of the Tartars and led thousands of people to respond to the uprising of the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong and occupied Haozhou (now Fengyang). Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a "monk" in Huangjue Temple, joined the Red Turban Army led by Guo Zixing. Because he was brave and resourceful, he made military achievements and was favored by Guo Zixing, so he betrothed his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying to Zhu Yuanzhang as his wife. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very talented and soon in Haozhou.

The Red Turban Army made its mark and was inevitably looked at by others. Guo Zixing also had suspicions about him. All the generals went to war and had to pay tribute to Guo Zixing. Zhu Yuanzhang did not hunt for private money and had no way to take it, which would easily cause Guo Zixing's unhappiness. Seeing this, Ma Xiuying gave his property to his adoptive mother, Mrs. Zhang and Guo Zixing's concubine Zhang, and asked them to say something good to his son-in-law before his adoptive father to make up the cracks. Once, Guo Zixing locked Yuanzhang in a confinement and refused to give food. Ma was heartbroken by her husband and put the newly baked cake in his arms and secretly sent it. After the incident, he found that the skin on his chest was burnt. Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to forget this kind of kindness. Over the years, the couple had a deep relationship. Although Zhu Yuanzhang also had a concubine, the only one who loved him was Ma Xiuying. In his heart, Ma Xiuying was very

With the first-class respect and love, Empress Yingtian captured and set up the Grand Marshal's Mansion, he resolutely let Empress Ma become the lord of the harem despite the opposition of King Xiao Ming.
