However, at this very moment, the eldest and second princesses, who had been sent to Jingguo for a marriage alliance for thirty years, returned.
The old emperor of Jingguo passed away, and his seventh son ascended the throne. The first thing the new emperor did was to release his two mothers back home.
Although the eldest and second princesses were in Jing Kingdom, with the help of the seventh prince, they still knew some of the things that happened in Rong Dynasty. They also knew that they had a little sister who was raised under their birth mother's name. Not only was she outstanding in appearance, but her talent and wisdom were also top-notch, even surpassing those princes.
I also know that the emperor once said, "Wuyou, if only you were a man."
It was those words he uttered before he fell seriously ill that plunged Ning Qianyun into an even deeper predicament.
When the Empress and the Crown Prince learned of this, the Emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, and the Crown Prince seized power and suppressed Princess Wuyou.
The Crown Prince originally wanted to send Ning Qianyun directly to marry a foreign ruler, but the Prime Minister disagreed.
The Prime Minister is the brother-in-law of the Prince of Pingyang, the late Empress's younger brother, and also the Empress's biological brother. With his uncle speaking up, the Crown Prince had no choice but to endure it and resort to these underhanded methods to try and bring down his disliked sister.
The eldest and second princesses returned to Rong Dynasty and were greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the people.
Because the people naturally understood in their hearts that it was not the Emperor of Jingguo, nor their emperor, but the sacrifice of the two young princesses.
Even the ailing emperor was somewhat pleased to hear the news and wanted to see his two daughters. Unexpectedly, his second daughter was unwilling to see him, but fortunately, his eldest daughter was willing to see him.
He was over seventy years old and had long forgotten what absurd things he had done in the past. He thought his eldest daughter had come to reminisce with him.
It is unknown what the eldest princess and the emperor discussed, but the emperor was so angry that he fainted. The empress wanted to punish the eldest princess for this, but she was stopped by the princess's immunity token.
The eldest princess even had an imperial edict in hand, and she and the second princess moved into the Pingyang Prince's Mansion, and also brought Ning Qianyun to live with them.
No one dared to say anything against it, because although the emperor was nearing the end of his life, he was still the emperor, and the imperial edict was still an imperial edict. As long as the empress wanted her crown prince to ascend the throne legitimately, she would not do anything that went against the emperor's will.
Ning Qianyun got along very well with her two older sisters, who were more than two cycles older than her, and the three of them gradually became close. The second princess also brought a friend named Chu Xuzhen, who was her childhood friend. The four of them lived together harmoniously and leisurely for half a year.
Six months later, the emperor died and the crown prince was about to ascend the throne. The people were very dissatisfied with the crown prince, and some young people even took to the streets to protest against the crown prince's ascension to the throne. As a result, they were all arrested and killed by the crown prince, and the crown prince's reputation plummeted.
In addition, the Crown Prince is arrogant, unreasonable, autocratic, incompetent, extravagant and licentious... Since he took power, the Rong Dynasty has been on a downward spiral. If he ascends the throne, will the Rong Dynasty be any better?
Just when the people felt they had no will to live, Ning Qianyun and her three companions launched a rebellion.
During the past six months, the four of them had been discussing countermeasures, expanding their influence, biding their time, and building a wide network of connections. Their goal was to completely eliminate the Crown Prince and Empress's faction without affecting the common people.
It is unknown how the four of them discussed this, but all that is known is that Ning Qianyun was killed in the street by the Crown Prince and her body lay lying in the street. That day, she had just come of age.
Ning Qianyun was already highly regarded among the people, and the people witnessed this situation firsthand, which naturally made them even more dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Some even risked their lives to cover the little princess with clothes. Once one person took the lead, thousands followed suit. In addition, the eldest and second princesses arrived, and the Crown Prince was powerless to deal with these lowly people.
In the end, the people disposed of Ning Qianyun's body, transporting her to the mountain and burying her there. That day, someone shouted, "Happy birthday, little princess!" Immediately afterwards, blessings echoed throughout the mountains, their lingering sound reverberating for three days.
"May the little princess live as long as heaven and earth, shine as brightly as the sun and moon, and be joyful year after year in her next life."
Xi Xi recounted the events of the previous dynasty to Chen Xiao in detail. After repeating the blessing, she wiped away her tears before continuing, "Right after her death, her soul broke through the G1 interface and came to the Yuan Realm. I was the one to deal with her. According to the rules, her soul should be erased, but I couldn't bring myself to do it."
Chen Xiao nodded knowingly; she knew Xi Xi was soft-hearted.
"After learning the specifics, I understood why she appeared in the Yuan Realm. She was extremely kind and righteous, and the people did so much for her after her death. It was her own strength and the strength of everyone that brought her to the Yuan Realm. Her wish was also very simple: that everyone could live in peace and prosperity."
Is this wish really that simple? Chen Xiao wondered to himself.
"She asked me if her wish had come true, and I looked at Rong Chao and said no."
"She asked me if I could go back to Rongchao. I thought about it for a while and said yes."
So that's how it is... Qianyun has always had an obsession with Rongchao.
"Anyway, after the alliance was over, I had nothing better to do, so she became my first host, 000. I agreed to send her back to Rongchao, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. I discovered that I already had a second host, 001, who had transformed Rongchao into Yechao."
What?! Chu Qiaoling?!
Chen Xiao had been lying on the sofa listening to Xi Xi talk for a long, long time, but now he couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Xi Xi and clicked his tongue, not wanting to be too shocked, "000 is Chu Qianyun, 001 is Chu Qiaoling?? 002 is Chu Yanxi, 003 is me, right?"
Xi Xi had also rested for a long time. Her body was no longer a phantom, but gradually became a real figure. She floated to Chen Xiao's side and lay down on the large sofa. Only then did she confirm Chen Xiao's guess, "Yes."
Chen Xiao was stunned for a while before humorously saying, "Our Chu family is really amazing..."
Xi Xi hadn't thought of this point. After hearing it, she just smiled and continued to explain to Chen Xiao, "The flow of time between interfaces is different. When I agreed to send Ning Qianyun back to Rongchao, the time rift was not stable. That's when I realized that more than ten years had passed in the G1 interface. Rongchao was no more, and those people that Ning Qianyun cared about... were all gone. Only the Night Dynasty created by Chu Qiaoling remained."
Things have changed... but fortunately, Qianyun's wish has been fulfilled in another way.
"I told Ning Qianyun about this, but I didn't expect her to still insist on going back. I had no choice but to contact Chu Qiaoling and have Ning Qianyun become Chu Qiaoling's child. Starting over from infancy, starting over as a princess of the Night Dynasty, might be a good thing for her. Mission takers can't leave their bloodline in the mission interface. Without so many brothers and sisters, she might not have to suffer so much, and she can also try to be real for once."
Huh?! Mission takers can't leave any bloodline... then... her body?! So none of them in the royal family are biological children??
