If you can't practice, you are destined to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, and there is a barrier between ordinary people and warriors.
The higher the martial artist's cultivation level, the longer his life span and the slower he ages. He may look the same as in his twenties or thirties when he is in his fifties or sixties, while ordinary people's age can be easily seen in their fifties or sixties.
In this way, if a warrior marries an ordinary person, it often ends in tragedy.
The prince will inherit the throne in the future, how could he possibly marry an ordinary person?
But the Queen could not break the contract on her own initiative, so she sent Xue Huan back to the Marquis of Changyang's Mansion. This move was seen by everyone in the Marquis of Changyang's Mansion as giving up on Xue Huan.
The Queen had given up on Xue Huan, so naturally, it was impossible for everyone in the Marquis of Changyang's Mansion to look upon her differently.
Because Xue Huan was rarely in the mansion, Xue Zhi and the Marquis of Changyang and his wife had no feelings for her. When this granddaughter was sent back because she was unable to practice, their attitude towards her can be imagined.
Not long after being sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, Xue Zhi sent his daughter to the Pengcheng branch, thousands of miles away from the capital, to be raised by the Xue Jing family, who were related to him within five generations.
At the beginning, Xue Jing's family took good care of Xue Huan. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Xue family. Moreover, when Xue Zhi sent Xue Huan there, he said that Pengcheng was quiet and suitable for Xue Huan to recuperate.
He couldn't possibly tell the people in the branch that he had given up on his daughter Xue Huan and asked them to raise her however they wanted.
But as time went on, Xue Jing's family figured out that Xue Huan had obviously been abandoned by the master's family, so why should they be so meticulous?
Xue Huan's situation became worse.
Later, seeing that the master's family never asked about Xue Huan's situation, Xue Jing simply threw her to a small farm outside the city and left her to fend for herself.
A while ago, Xue Tianzong and a group of young masters went hunting in the mountains and stopped at a farm. When they saw Xue Huan in the farm, they immediately had evil thoughts and wanted to do something bad to her.
Xue Huan ran out and met Qin Mengjun, Xue Xiang's sweetheart. Qin Mengjun rescued her and stopped Xue Tianzong and his group from doing evil.
When Xue Xiang learned about this, he was filled with jealousy and ran to the farm to teach Xue Huan a lesson, forcing her to jump into the well.
After killing the man, Xue Xiang felt a sense of relief at first, but also a little scared. She went home and told Mrs. Xue about it. However, Mrs. Xue did not blame her daughter. Instead, she covered it up for her and silenced the servants.
In Mrs. Xue's opinion, the Marquis' Mansion in Kyoto had ignored Xue Huan for more than ten years and had probably forgotten about such a daughter a long time ago. Even if this daughter died, the Marquis' Mansion probably wouldn't care.
If the Marquis's Mansion asks about it, they will have a way to cover it up.
Mrs. Xue's actions made Xue Xiang's guilt disappear, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with forcing Xue Huan to death.
However, at this moment, facing the questioning of Eunuch Cheng who was beside the queen, they couldn't help but feel guilty.
However, before Eunuch Cheng arrived, the family had already agreed on a common story. Xue Jing said, "To answer Eunuch Cheng, the eldest daughter... eloped with someone."
Yes, Xue Jing's family not only wanted to cover up the crimes they committed, but also wanted to throw dirty water on the dead Xue Huan.
Eunuch Cheng frowned: "Elope with someone? What happened? Tell me in detail."
He frowned on the surface, but was secretly delighted in his heart. The Queen had to send him out to pick up Xue Huan because of the promise she made that year. But if Xue Huan eloped with someone and his reputation was tarnished, then the Queen could not be blamed for breaking the promise.
Xue Jing produced some forged evidence - love letters exchanged between Xue Huan and the man, so-called men's underwear found in her room, etc., and told Eunuch Cheng the story he had prepared long ago.
Eunuch Cheng had been in the palace for so many years, and he had developed a pair of sharp eyes. How could he not see the flaws in this "evidence"? But whether this matter was true or not was not important at all.
The Queen just needs it to be true, that's all.
The mission he came here for was also successfully completed.
His face was filled with rage as he slammed a very explicit love letter onto the high table. "This is outrageous! Miss Xue is truly outrageous! How could she do such a thing? It's a shame that the Empress even sent a servant to bring her back to the capital."
The four words "Empress Dowager" quickly caught the ears of the four people from the Xue family.
Madam Xue quietly tugged at Xue Jing's sleeve, signaling him to ask how Xue Huan could be related to a figure like the Empress.
Eunuch Cheng was sitting at the head of the table, so how could he not see Madam Xue's little movements? He simply pretended not to see them.
When Xue Jing asked about it, he did not use Qiao as an example, but revealed the inside story.
After hearing this, the four members of the Xue family suddenly understood. They were wondering why no one had paid attention to Xue Huan before, but this time someone from the palace came to take her back to Beijing. So this is what happened.
Xue Xiang twisted her handkerchief, feeling jealous. That bitch Xue Huan actually had such good luck. Although her mother died long ago, she had begged for a huge favor from the Empress Dowager by saving her life!
The Crown Princess! In the future, she would become the Empress and the Mother of the Nation! What a noble figure! Was Xue Huan worthy of her?
Fortunately, that bitch Xue Huan is dead at the bottom of the well! She can't become the Crown Princess anymore!
Suddenly, a crazy idea popped up in her mind. Xue Huan was dead, and no one in the capital knew what she looked like. So, could she pretend to be Xue Huan and go to the capital to marry the prince on her behalf?
The more Xue Xiang thought about it, the better he felt this was an idea, and he couldn't help but see a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
But she couldn't show it in front of Eunuch Cheng, so she had to suppress it.
Xue Jing arranged the yard and personally took Eunuch Cheng down there to rest.
Madam Xue and Xue Xiang returned to the inner courtyard. Xue Xiang expressed his thoughts. Madam Xue's first reaction was, "Impossible! Eunuch Cheng already knows that Xue Huan eloped. How can you still replace Xue Huan?"
Xue Xiang: "Mother, how is it impossible? Think about it, if Eunuch Cheng fails to pick up the person during his visit to Pengcheng, wouldn't that mean he hasn't fulfilled the mission entrusted to him by the Empress? If the Empress blames him, how can he withstand it? What if we suggest that I impersonate Xue Huan? In this way, Eunuch Cheng's mission will be completed, and after I go to the capital and become the Crown Princess, wouldn't that be a great thing for our Xue family?"
Mrs. Xue still felt that it was too risky, but she couldn't help but be moved by the prospects described by Xue Xiang. If their Xue family really had a crown princess, then the Xue family would be very prosperous!
She looked at her daughter's face. Xiang'er was in her twenties, young and tender, beautiful and charming. How could she not be worthy of being the Crown Princess?
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She couldn't help but tell Xue Jing about this idea after he came back.
Xue Jing, who was changing his clothes with her help, suddenly opened his eyes. His deep, cloudy eyes stared at her, making Mrs. Xue's heart tremble. "Master, what's wrong?"
