Cui Yulu, known as the jinx of Cui Family Village, is about to get married. Under the guise of doing what's best for her, her aunt accepts eight taels of silver from the Han family in the neigh...
Two days passed in a flash. Tuoba Xuanyi simply sent over delicious food and drinks each time, never asking any questions.
She rarely made eye contact with Tuoba Xuan, as if she were hiding countless secrets in her heart.
"How is the king's health?"
Tuoba Xuan finally couldn't resist asking about the king's condition.
Tuoba Xuanyi simply said coldly, "With the Queen taking care of her, what business is it of yours?"
"Then let me ask you, when does the Queen plan to send me to the altar?"
Cui Yulu asked Tuoba Xuanyi in a cold voice.
She had even helped save this man, but it turns out he was in cahoots with the Queen. What a waste of her compassion.
"I cannot fathom the Queen's thoughts, but it should be soon."
Tuoba Xuanyi's words were unusually cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"Are you enjoying being a great general?"
Tuoba Xuan stared intently at him and asked.
"Whether I feel comfortable or not, I've already become a general and fulfilled my promise to Yu Yan. In any case, I'm the victor."
Do you really think you've won? I doubt it.
As the two gazed at each other, a report suddenly came from outside; it turned out that the Queen had arrived at the villa.
Today, the Queen wore a navy blue wide-sleeved jacket, with a black fox fur coat draped over it. The fur was exceptionally shiny and looked like a fine piece of clothing.
"So the general is here. I've been looking for him for ages."
Tuoba Xuanyi bowed respectfully to her, then stood up straight behind her.
"Little girl, do you want to know your mother's story?"
“I have no memory of my mother. If you’re willing to tell me, I can listen.”
Cui Yulu put on a carefree and natural expression. Anyway, she was now at the mercy of others and could only act according to their wishes.
"Hehe, you live a carefree life, just like your mother."
It turns out that Cui Yulu's mother and Abu's mother were sisters. Cui Yulu's mother was named Jin Yulan, but after meeting Cui Yulu's father, she changed her name to Li Lan.
Jin Yulan, Jin Yuqing, and Lei Chunxue were known as the Three Golden Flowers of the Foreign Land, all of whom were outstanding in both appearance and ability.
Because Jin Yulan was born with the ability to foresee the future and summon heavenly lightning, she was revered as a saintess and was dedicated to praying for the foreign lands to be blessed and spared from disaster. However, one year, the foreign lands suffered a severe snow disaster, and most of the livestock froze to death. That year, the king ordered Jin Yulan to pray to heaven to stop the snow.
However, after three days of unsuccessful attempts, people gradually lost patience, and some even began to doubt the saintess's abilities.
"What happened last? It was the king who issued the order for the Holy Maiden to be sacrificed to the heavens. But it's a strange coincidence that the Holy Maiden was not destined to die. Just then, the iron hooves of the Central Plains broke through the gates of our foreign land. Coincidentally, the Holy Maiden disappeared in the chaos of the battle. The king was furious about this and said he would kill the entire Jin family. But when the king met Jin Yuqing, he changed his mind."
"Later, the king married Jin Yuqing and had many children. However, she always kept the whereabouts of her sister in her heart. It was because of this that I had the opportunity to make the king disappointed in Jin Yuqing and eliminate her. However, over the years, the king has never forgotten that woman. No matter what I do, I can't get into his heart. So I killed all her children, and I won't even let go of the man who loves her."
The queen became increasingly frantic as she spoke, until finally her face turned red.
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for all that you've done?"
"Retribution? What a joke! I'm perfectly fine now, while both of them are dead, and their descendants will die at my hands. I'm the one who laughs last."
Her exquisite makeup was distorted by her ferocious expression, making her look incredibly terrifying. Abu was so frightened that he hid behind Cui Yulu.
“I will now take you to the altar, and you and your mother will both die.”
"It's funny, everyone's end is death, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later."
Cui Yulu seemed much more open-minded. As for life and death, she had already been to the altar once, so why would she be afraid of this time?
"You're just like your dead mother in this respect. I hate that look on your face. If you want to cry, cry and beg me, and maybe I'll spare you."
Cui Yulu felt that the queen might be mentally unstable.
"Why should I ask you for help? In the end, you're the one who'll probably beg for mercy."
"Hahaha, impossible, absolutely impossible! Hand over your mother's jade bracelet to me, and I will activate the divine oracle and send you to the altar. Then I can easily rule the entire dynasty. Who will be the queen? I will be the king! The whole world will listen to me."
Raymond was thrilled. The Ray tribe was finally going to rise to prominence, something he had been looking forward to for many years.
"If you want the jade bracelet, release my brother and Abu, otherwise I'll smash it right now."
Cui Yulu took out the jade bracelet with cloud and thunder patterns that her mother had left her from her space. It was covered with cloud and thunder patterns, but the overall shape looked like an eye. It was very unique. Her aunt had almost kept it before, and she had a hard time getting it back.
Lei Chunxue felt an indescribable excitement when she saw the jade bracelet.
"Give it to me, and I can promise to spare Tuoba Xuan's life, but he must submit to me first."
Lei Chunxue looked at Tuoba Xuan, but the man remained unmoved, only staring coldly at her, which annoyed her.
"Tuoba Xuan, you'd better understand the current situation. The Lei tribe has already submitted to me, and so has your Tuoba family. As for the Jin tribe, it is currently under the control of my godson. Do you have any more questions?"
Tuoba Xuan is a talent that this foreign land has seen only once in a century, and she does not want to lose this talent.
However, Tuoba Xuan completely ignored her, which made her very annoyed.
"Since you still refuse, I'd like to see if you really can just stand by and watch this girl be sent to the altar?"
As he spoke, Raymond entered, intending to control Cui Yulu, but he underestimated Tuoba Xuan's strength.
Moreover, they haven't been mistreated these past few days, so their strength shouldn't be underestimated.
Tuoba Xuan kicked Raymond to the ground.
"Do you think I'm invisible? If you want to mess with my sister, you'll have to see if I agree first."
After this roar, many soldiers came out of the villa and surrounded the entire villa.
The Queen looked at them triumphantly: "Tuoba Xuan, I spared your life because I value your talent, but you should also know how to be grateful. Since you don't cherish this opportunity, I don't need to give you any more face. The three of you will die together."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of soldiers rushed into the room.
"Take them down and put them on the altar."
To everyone's surprise, after the soldiers agreed, they didn't arrest them, but instead arrested Raymond and the Queen.
"You bastards, are you looking to die? Why are you arresting me instead of them?"
"Haha, my esteemed Queen, are you quite surprised now? It's really quite a shocking thing to have acted out this charade with you. Now that the truth is out, let's settle the score later."
“How dare you! I am the Queen! You cannot treat me like this. Only the King can deal with me. You have no right to do so.”
"Since you've come to me, how about I deal with you?"
