Yunrou is seventeen years old, the same age as Xue Qingyi.
His father was the Prince of Yanping, and his mother was the eldest princess of the royal family. After they got married, the eldest princess gave birth to a legitimate son first, and then gave birth to a legitimate daughter, Yunrou, in the fourth year. Unfortunately, Yunrou was born with congenital deficiencies and had been weak and sickly since childhood, which made the eldest princess and her husband spend a lot of effort to raise her.
Although she was in poor health, Yun Rou was loved and pampered by her parents and brothers when she grew up. When she was thirteen years old, the eldest princess died suddenly. In the autumn of the same year, her brother accidentally fell off his horse and his head hit a huge rock, killing him on the spot.
Because of this, Prince Yanping was heartbroken and his hair turned white almost overnight, and Yun Rou also cried every day.
Two years later, just after Yun Rou's fifteenth birthday, Prince Yanping led his army to suppress the rebellion and returned victoriously.
He brought back a mysterious woman, whom he rescued on the battlefield. She was very charming and not only knew medicine, she made the Prince of Yanping's white hair turn black again. She also knew how to read faces and tell fortunes, and could even predict the future.
"The first time she saw me, she said that I was born with a bad fate, that I was destined to bring disaster to my father, mother, and loved ones. She said that I was responsible for the deaths of my mother and brother, and that the older I got, the more I hurt my father. She suggested that I be sent to a Taoist temple far away from the capital to practice asceticism, hoping that I could change my fate. My father believed such a ridiculous statement as if he was possessed by a ghost!"
Just like that, Yun Rou was sent away and stayed away for four years.
During this period, the woman married the Prince of Yanping and became Yunrou's stepmother. The daughter born to the woman and her ex-husband, whom she had always kept by her side, became the legitimate daughter of the prince's mansion. The Prince of Yanping even asked for the title of princess for his stepdaughter, completely forgetting about his biological daughter Yunrou and gradually forgot about her.
Until recently, Prince Yanping suddenly wrote to her.
He said that her stepmother had calculated that her fate had changed and that she had become a wealthy and powerful person and could return home, so she sent someone to pick her up.
Afterwards, in the torrential rain tonight, a masked man suddenly broke in and killed Yun Rou.
At this time, Yun Rou finished saying these with difficulty, and then she used up her last bit of strength, raised her hand to hold Xue Qingyi's sleeve, and said with tears in her eyes: "Before my mother died suddenly, she secretly told me that if she encountered any accident, the murderer must be the current emperor, that is, my uncle, the emperor Su Ji! She asked me to pretend that I knew nothing, let alone tell my father! Obviously, my brother was also killed by the emperor! As for the person who harmed me tonight, there will be no one else except the current Princess of Yanping Tu Shanyou.
"Ever since she came to the palace, my fate has been firmly in her hands.
"This time she persuaded my father to take me back to the capital, not because of my fate change, but because I have been engaged to Prince Qi since I was a child. She wanted to trick me into returning to the capital and kill me on the way so that her daughter could marry Prince Qi in my place!"
"In my life, I was surrounded by my parents until I was thirteen years old. After that, I had no choice but to do what I wanted. I just didn't want to seek revenge. I just felt unwilling to accept it... Why did God make me a girl? And why did he make me so weak and unable to protect myself, and end up in such a situation?"
When Yun Rou said this, she suddenly vomited blood!
"Miss!" The maidservant beside her felt distressed and scared when she saw this, and she couldn't stop crying.
Xue Qingyi did not say anything, but gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and waited quietly for him to calm down his overly excited emotions.
After a moment, Yun Rou looked at Xue Qingyi gratefully, smiled bitterly and said, "Tu Shan You is not an ordinary mortal. How could I let you risk your life to avenge me? The Emperor killed my mother and brother, and Tu Shan You killed me... If there is an afterlife, I will avenge these grudges myself, so I won't bother you. But Ping'er is the one my mother left for me. She has been loyal to me since she was a child. I hope you can help me settle her down. If so, Yun Rou will be very grateful... But, Yun Rou can only repay your kindness in the next life..."
As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer, until finally she closed her eyes and made no more sound.
Seeing this, Xue Qingyi raised her hand and checked her breath.
"Your young lady has rested in peace."
Xue Qingyi said in a deep voice with a slightly serious expression.
Yun Rou was undoubtedly a delicate flower born in a magnificent greenhouse, but it was a pity that she was annihilated before she could bloom.
"Miss!" When the maid Ping'er heard this, she immediately rushed over and burst into extremely painful tears again.
Xue Qingyi stepped aside, giving the master and servant time to say their final farewell. After a moment, she performed a prayer for Yun Rou and helped her to reincarnate.
She walked to the window, looked towards the capital city in the heavy rain, and sighed silently.
However, suddenly, clusters of green flames suddenly lit up in the distance!
Xue Qingyi frowned.
How could there be a fire in such heavy rain?
At this moment, these flames seemed to be inspired by something, constantly approaching and approaching, until they were close, she finally realized that these were not ordinary fires, but will-o'-the-wisp fires!
Xue Qingyi looked carefully again and saw ghosts flying through the dense raindrops and pouring towards this place. For a moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up, and in just a moment the place was filled with ghostly aura!
how so?
"Miss!" At this time, the maid Ping'er behind her suddenly exclaimed.
Xue Qingyi turned her head and was immediately shocked!
Yun Rou's body suddenly floated in the air, and a white jade pendant on the jade belt around her waist floated above, emitting bursts of milky white light that enveloped her completely.
The next moment.
The jade pendant shattered with a bang!
Xue Qingyi frowned and looked, then saw a black ghost that looked as small as a baby flying out from the broken jade pendant. After flying around the room quickly twice, it let out a strange laugh!
"I have waited for nearly twenty years! Finally, I have waited until today!"
This horrifying laugh frightened Ping'er so much that her face turned pale and she fell to the ground trembling all over.
The young ghost obviously didn't take Ping'er and Xue Qingyi, the two mortals, seriously. It just glanced at them with contempt, and then dived down and slammed into Yun Rou's body!
Suddenly, Yun Rou's soul appeared, but was squeezed out with a dazed look, with her head drooping, floating in the air without any consciousness.
"Possession?!"
Xue Qingyi was suddenly startled.
It was at this moment that she finally saw clearly that the small ghost figure that looked like a baby was clearly the Nascent Soul of a certain old monster who had lost his physical body!
This Nascent Soul had been hiding in the jade pendant, waiting for Yun Rou to die, and then it would immediately take over her body and replace her!
Look out the window again.
At this time, several ghosts had climbed in by clinging to the window sill. They stared at Yun Rou's body with green eyes, and cried out strangely before rushing over, wanting to compete with the Nascent Soul for the right to use this body, as if this body had a great attraction to them.
Xue Qingyi had a hunch that something was wrong.
She quickly released her spiritual power and used her spiritual sense to explore Yun Rou's body, and finally found the problem!
“Extreme Yin energy? She is actually… the girl of Heavenly Yin that is rarely seen in ten thousand years! No wonder Yun Rou has had congenital deficiencies since she was a child, and no wonder these evil creatures are desperately trying to snatch her body…”
