Xuanyuan Yujing was indifferent to Xuanyuan Shi, devoid of love, desire, or ambition. Even though Xuanyuan Shi risked her life to give birth to his eldest son, Xuanyuan Cheng, Xuanyuan Yujing remained unmoved. In fact, he harbored a deep dislike for Xuanyuan Shi.
Xuanyuan Shi was as radiant as the moonlight, young, beautiful, and captivating, with unparalleled martial prowess, truly a woman of both literary and martial talents. Despite having such a beautiful wife, Xuanyuan Yujing not only felt no gratitude or joy, but instead harbored contempt and disdain. After Bai Wanxin came into his life, Xuanyuan Yujing became even more ruthless, deeply hating Xuanyuan Shi and wishing she would die with her eyes wide open, her body left to rot in the wilderness.
The once obedient Xuanyuan clansman, who had stayed quietly in the backyard and remained aloof from worldly affairs, now stood openly before everyone, righteously pleading with him to retract his decree. Xuanyuan Yujing did not believe that Xuanyuan clansman was acting in his best interest. In Xuanyuan Yujing's mind, who looked down on Xuanyuan clansman, she was challenging his authority and threatening him with the matter of "Lady Ping."
How could a monarch, high above all others, whose word determined the fate of millions, tolerate the provocation and threats of a woman with long hair and short wits? Xuanyuan Yujing flew into a rage, his eyes blazing with fury as he angrily rebuked Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao remained kneeling, unyielding and unyielding.
Mental fortitude is developed through practice.
For example, the longer they spent together, the more shameless Ji Xiaoxiao became in her presence by the Immortal Lord's side. She could even ignore the Immortal Lord's glare and calmly drink tea and eat snacks while smiling and admiring his beauty.
Compared to the Immortal Lord, Xuanyuan Yujing's imposing presence was truly insignificant; with his small arms and legs, he looked surprisingly pitiful.
Ji Xiaoxiao remained unmoved, stubbornly kneeling on the ground, refusing to admit defeat, and continued to plead, "Please, Your Majesty, spare Lord Lin..." Ji Xiaoxiao raised her kowtow, repeating this phrase before each kowtow.
The desperate kowtows, thump-thump, deep and powerful, echoed in the vast hall, each sound like a hammer blow striking the hearts of the self-proclaimed good officials, leaving them blushing with shame.
An elderly man with a white beard and frail health stood up shakily, knelt down with trembling hands, and kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead turning bright red with each kowtow. "Please, Your Majesty, spare Lord Lin..." the old man repeated the same words as Ji Xiaoxiao.
With a leader in place, the officials in the hall readily offered their assistance. Xuanyuan Yujing, sitting on the high platform, looked extremely grim. He could be domineering, but he couldn't act recklessly. As the saying goes, those who act justly gain much support, while those who act unjustly find little. A lone wolf cannot achieve anything significant; the management and operation of a country cannot function without officials in their respective positions and performing their duties.
Under pressure, Xuanyuan Yujing withdrew his order to execute Lin Zisu's entire family and stormed off in a huff. Before leaving, Ji Xiaoxiao received Xuanyuan Yujing's unique "eye of care."
"Hmph, if looks could kill, you would have been dead long ago." Ji Xiaoxin was indifferent, but dared not speak her anger.
After seeing off Xuanyuan Yujing, Ji Xiaoxiao returned to her doghouse under the warm and friendly care of the officials of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
Pushing open the door, Ji Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to call for a servant to bring tea and water, but inadvertently saw Xuan Yuan Yu Jing. She paused, turned around and closed the door, then sat down directly in the chair opposite Xuan Yuan Yu Jing. "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Xuanyuan Yujing narrowed his eyes slightly, the tea in his teacup swaying slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Kneel down."
Ji Xiaoxiao obeyed Xuan Yuan Yu Jing's order without expression, kneeling obediently once more. Turning her head to Xuan Yuan Yu Jing, she asked in bewilderment, "Your Majesty, what wrong have I done? Please tell me."
Xuanyuan Yujing hurled the teacup in his hand at Ji Xiaoxiao's face. The tea was still scalding hot, and a red scar instantly appeared on Ji Xiaoxiao's face. The impact was so great that the teacup shattered into pieces, and the sharp points of the small porcelain shards pierced Ji Xiaoxiao's skin. Her body was covered in tea and blood, and Ji Xiaoxiao looked extremely disheveled.
"Treat me with respect, and I'll treat you with even greater respect" is Ji Xiaoxiao's principle. "If you hurt me even a little, I'll repay you tenfold." Ji Xiaoxiao has always adhered to this principle in her efforts to "eliminate evil and promote good" in the world. Xuan Yuan Yu Jing's humiliating actions clearly crossed Ji Xiaoxiao's bottom line. Ji Xiaoxiao is determined to retaliate and wash away the shame, but she cannot physically assault Xuan Yuan Yu Jing, nor can she even verbally abuse him.
Unable to retaliate for the time being, Ji Xiaoxiao could only be more obedient and subservient to Xuan Yuan Yu Jing, hoping that Xuan Yuan Yu Jing would not be too heartless and merciless and beat her half to death.
When Xuanyuan Yujing had vented his anger to the point of exhaustion, he strode away, feeling refreshed. Ji Xiaoxiao lay weakly on the ground, her clothes disheveled and in a sorry state. The fist and footprints on her face were clearly visible, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. The surroundings were a scene of utter devastation, as if a tornado had swept through, with things lying on top of each other, smashed, and broken into pieces.
Seeing that no one was around, Ji Xiaoxiao simply lay down on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling, carefully reviewing the original owner's memories.
The Xuanyuan Dynasty had a clandestine, dedicated assassination unit called Flowing Light, whose leader was codenamed Moonflower, and the Xuanyuan clan was named Moonflower. Each Moonflower was Flowing Light's most outstanding assassination expert, possessing vast knowledge of astronomy, geography, chemistry, and the periodic table, as well as martial arts, poisons, and medicine.
When a new emperor ascends the throne of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, he will marry Yuehua within a month. The reason for this is simply that the new emperor's power base is unstable and he needs a powerful ally. After the new emperor has consolidated his position, Liuguang will become the most powerful assistant to the emperor's eldest son before he comes of age. Therefore, there has never been a case of a second son or illegitimate son successfully usurping the throne in the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
The original owner, as the Radiant Moon, was no more powerful than a human weapon cultivated by the Xuanyuan Dynasty. From the time she became aware of things, she was constantly hypnotized by various hypnotists. The death order of loyalty to Xuanyuan was rooted in the original owner's heart, growing with her and becoming part of her flesh and blood, impossible to remove.
Ji Xiaoxiao had just transmigrated and hadn't fully grasped the original owner's memories. It was only natural that Ji Xiaoxiao was still influenced by the original owner to this day.
After figuring things out, Ji Xiaoxiao got up and called her maids and servants to tidy up the room, while she went to wash and dress herself.
Feeling refreshed after leaving the spacious hot spring room, Ji Xiaoxiao headed straight for Xuan Yuancheng's territory. The fact that Lin Zisu hadn't died didn't mean Xuan Yuanyu Jing wouldn't poison Xuan Yuancheng's cub; according to the information provided by the original source, it would only be seven days before Xuan Yuanyu Jing went completely mad.
The original owner's wish was simple: Ji Xiaoxiao loved children, so naturally she wanted to protect Xuanyuan Cheng with all her might. Ji Xiaoxiao didn't trust anyone else with Xuanyuan Cheng, so in this crucial moment, it was more appropriate for her to personally take charge.
Ji Xiaoxiao took Xuan Yuancheng to her side. During the day, she accompanied Xuan Yuancheng to play and wander around. At night, when the scenery was dark, she diligently practiced the "White Lotus Holy Technique".
Seven days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day.
Xuanyuan Yujing arrived with a group of burly, dark-skinned men, looking travel-worn. The men in black had calm expressions; beneath their suits, their waists and chests were bulging, the outlines of which hinted at the real weapons they carried.
Xuanyuan Yujing, who was usually calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, looked flustered and worried. His eyes were bloodshot and his sparse beard covered his chin, making him look like a down-on-his-luck student.
"Xuanyuan clan, hand over Xuanyuan Cheng to me!" Xuanyuan Yujing shouted, gathering his strength in his dantian, as he yelled at the tightly closed door.
