Although she was originally a princess, fate did not show her much favor.

The mother, Xu Zhaoyi, was of humble status and had a gentle and kind personality. She had no intention of doting on her daughter, but at least she loved her daughter.

Although life was a bit cold at that time, the mother and daughter depended on each other and must have been happy.

Unfortunately, Xuan Yang was too young at that time and did not remember much warmth. She even forgot what her mother looked like due to the torture day and night.

Xu Zhaoyi died unexpectedly. She died suddenly without any illness.

Her death made the emperor give her daughter his only preference.

She was given the name Xuanyang and adopted by the queen as a legitimate princess.

But this preference is both an honor and a poison.

The queen did not want to raise another child born by someone else. Her favorite was the prince she gave birth to, and her favorite girl was her niece Chen Pingting. The appearance of Xuanyang only reminded her of Xu Zhaoyi, who had been praised by the emperor more than once for her noble character.

Chen Pingting always bullied Xuan Yang, but no matter how bad Chen Pingting was, she was just a child under six years old at that time. How bad could her mind be?

It was just that the queen was deliberately taking sides and taking the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction.

The people around the queen noticed her attitude. The servants would naturally have the same attitude as their master.

What princess? She was just a little girl with a higher status than them. The queen didn't like her and she was not even as good as the palace maids.

Xuan Yang suffered from the Queen's torture and had no way to express her suffering, but outsiders, such as Princess Jiaruo, thought she was enjoying herself.

She is half a year younger than Xuanyang, but her biological mother is the beloved Concubine Hui, and her father also loves her very much.

She didn't take other princesses seriously at all, thinking that she was her father's most beloved daughter and the most noble princess.

But her elder sister who was inferior to her in every way suddenly became the queen's daughter and a legitimate princess, which was much more glorious than her. How could she swallow this?

They were of similar age and went to the Imperial Academy together. Jia Ruo brought her study partner and the palace maids to play tricks on Xuan Yang. At first, they just spilled the ink or hid her pen, making it impossible for her to study well.

Later it became catching bugs and throwing them at her, and pouring dirt into her food.

Xuan Yang was in great pain and complained to the teacher, who punished Jia Ruo by slapping her hands three times.

Jia Ruo immediately went to tell her brother crying. Xiao Jingzhao looked at his sister's red hands and thought that Xuan Yang had hit her. He immediately rushed over, kicked Xuan Yang to the ground, and then picked up a stick to beat her severely.

Because the fight was so brutal, the matter was brought to the attention of the late emperor.

Concubine Hui went to plead for mercy, but the empress did not care. The late emperor did not value a daughter either. In the end, he just scolded her and punished Xiao Jingzhao and his sister by making them copy books.

The two were punished but did not feel that they were wrong. Instead, they blamed everything on Xuan Yang, thinking that it was her who made a fuss and caused them to be punished.

Later, Jia Ruo still bullied Xuan Yang, but her methods were much more sophisticated. At least she would not be caught so obviously. Sometimes she would even lie and turn the tables, making Xuan Yang get punished. It was obvious that she had been instructed by someone.

Those years were like hell on earth for Xuan Yang.

It was not until the late emperor was about to die that he named Xiao Jingzhao the King of Yanping. The brother and sister left, and Xuanyang finally got a chance to breathe.

Later, when Xiao Jingyun ascended the throne, he summoned Lu Yanzhi to be Xuanyang's son-in-law in accordance with the late emperor's will. Xuanyang was able to leave the palace and live in the princess's mansion. Only then did she live a slightly more comfortable life.

Although the people around her were spies of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and although her husband ignored her, at least no one bullied her, and she could sleep peacefully in her own mansion and her own room until dawn.

Xiao Li is trapped in this world. She hates Lu Yanzhi, the male and female protagonists, and even this world.

But the original body... Even though all the pain she felt came from the original body, she did not hate the original body.

Under such conditions, she was very resilient and brave enough to survive.

Her only mistake was probably that she treated Lu Yanzhi as her real husband and gave him her true heart, but in the end she was doomed.

Xiao Li does not admit that she and her original body are the same person, nor does she accept her pain and grievances. She will always be Xiao Li and will never become Xiao Xuanyang of this world.

But her determination is one thing. If those people still bully her as if she were her original self, then she doesn't mind helping her original self resolve these old grudges.

"You think you can just hide, Xiao Xuanyang!"

Tsk, what an ugly dog bark.

Xiao Li slowly came out from inside, her dark purple cloak with fox fur trim wrapped around her fair face, delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth.

Even without makeup or pearls, she still has a kind of elegant and luxurious beauty, with a look of disdain and being unattainable.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jingzhao's eyes, and he almost didn't dare to recognize him. Is this Xiao Xuanyang?

Jia Ruo was equally surprised, but resentment instantly rose in her eyes: "Xiao Xuanyang, why don't you tell him to get out of here right away? Murdering the princess will result in the death of all nine generations of the clan."

Xiao Li turned around and looked over. Jia Ruo was in a very miserable state. Her fairly regular facial features were distorted by hatred. She wanted to walk away, but Rong Qing was pressing her step by step. She didn't dare to move, for fear of being chopped.

The memory of her original body told her that these two siblings were born bad.

They can bully others and enjoy it, but if others fight back a little, they will get angry, feel that they have been bullied, and then retaliate doubly.

You cannot show weakness when dealing with such people, otherwise you will become their playthings to be trampled on. You cannot resist too weakly, because you cannot hurt them at all, but will instead annoy them, and then they will bully you even more crazily.

The correct approach is to fight evil with evil, fight violence with violence, and fight to the death.

"Rong Qing." Xiao Li spoke slowly, his tone calm and indifferent.

"Kill her!"

That sound was like a thunderclap.

Jia Ruo was dumbfounded. Rong Qing had already started to attack, and the guards beside him rushed over desperately. Xiao Jingzhao shouted angrily, "Are you looking for death?"

The next moment, the guard was beheaded, and blood splattered all over the place, hitting the ceiling. Jiaruo, who had escaped death and was sitting on the ground, was drenched in blood, and his whole body was covered in blood.

A vicious look flashed in Xiao Jingzhao's eyes, and he instantly drew his sword and rushed towards Xiao Li to kill him.

Xiao Jingyi wanted to pull Xiao Li back, but she didn't move at all.

A guard blocked Xiao Jingzhao's attack, and Rong Qing immediately returned to defend, without Xiao Li having to take a step back.

Jia Ruo screamed in the rain of blood, "What are you guys standing there for? Why don't you go help my brother?"

With the guards from both sides joining in, the small restaurant instantly became a battlefield.

These two siblings are not reasonable people, and coincidentally, Xiao Li doesn't like to reason with others either.

Since they were the ones who provoked her, there was no reason for her not to fight back.

It is impolite to come without giving anything in return.
