Finally, from the palace maid's intermittent narration, Lu Qingyan summarized one sentence: The original owner of this body was a pitiful girl who was sent here for a political marriage.
Furthermore, the culprit behind all of this was the original owner's childhood sweetheart and fiancé, a great general.
"Princess, are you hungry? Eat something and put your veil back on, the King is coming soon." The maid said, stuffing a piece of pastry into Lu Qingyan's mouth and putting the veil back over her head.
Lu Qingyan remained silent, quietly eating her pastries and sorting through the memories in her mind as a princess.
Princess Xuanyan was the most beautiful princess of the Dacheng Dynasty; it would not be an exaggeration to say she was stunningly beautiful. When the Dacheng Dynasty fell into decline, she was naturally chosen as a marriage partner and sent to the grasslands to make peace with the grassland king in order to seek temporary peace between the two countries.
Just when the Dacheng Dynasty thought everything was going well, little did they know that the grassland king was raising his army and preparing for war. He favored Princess Xuanyan and used her to eliminate the unruly women in his harem, and then their families, thereby firmly controlling the entire grassland.
Knowing that the Dacheng Dynasty valued ethics, he even tied up Princess Xuanyan and brought her along when the Dacheng army marched north. He subjected Princess Xuanyan to all sorts of humiliation in front of the Dacheng army in an attempt to stop their advance.
He was cold, ruthless, cruel, and vicious. He would use any means to achieve his goals and would exploit anyone. His notorious reputation was so great that even the emperor and empress of Dacheng had heard of him.
However, they still sent Princess Xuanyan over, hoping to win over the grassland king with her beauty.
Even though Da Cheng has so many princesses, they chose Princess Xuan Yan, who was pampered since childhood and was even engaged to her childhood sweetheart, General Du. From that moment on, Princess Xuan Yan was abandoned by them, so why would they do anything more for her now?
Princess Xuanyan was humiliated in the most disgraceful way by the soldiers of the grasslands in front of the Great Cheng army, in front of her childhood sweetheart, General Piaoji, and in front of the grassland king who had favored her for three years.
Those high and mighty people looked at her calmly, and the soldiers uttered filthy words... No one felt sorry for her, as if she were just something that could be discarded at any time, insignificant.
Such a cruel thing would surely have resulted in death for anyone else. But Princess Xuanyan was different. She was the one destined for greatness in this world, or rather, the female protagonist of this world. Even under such circumstances, she survived, and despite being covered in wounds, she stubbornly continued to live.
When the grassland king saw that Princess Xuanyan was not dead, he took her back and locked her up, treating her like a pet animal.
In the end, when the grassland king conquered the whole world, he happened to think of Princess Xuanyan and realized that he could not forget her beauty. So he brought her to the palace of Dacheng and made her a concubine.
However, this did not mean that the grassland king had developed feelings for Princess Xuanyan. Every time he saw her, his first thought was that she was no longer pure and was a disgrace to him, so he treated her very roughly. He allowed the newly arrived beauties in the palace to use all sorts of methods to frame, poison, and so on against Princess Xuanyan.
When the original owner was tortured to death, he was so thin that only his bones remained.
As Lu Qingyan recalled all of this, she couldn't help but shudder. That nightmare was still terrifying to her.
