C1 The Daughter of a Useless Concubine

The palace of Xia Country.

It was the beginning of spring, and everything returned to normal. It was warm at first, but it was still cold at first. A commotion came from somewhere unknown:

"Hit her, hit her... Quick, hit her, hit her!"

A group of eunuchs were besieging a girl by a stream.

This girl's name was Xiahou Yunyue, she was twelve years old this year. Her father was the emperor of Xia Country, Xiahou Yuan, and her mother was the abandoned concubine in the palace - Rou'er.

Rou'er was originally Emperor Xia's favoured consort, and was good at singing and dancing. She was deeply doted on by Emperor Xia. It was only because she had unfortunately broken both her legs at the banquet more than ten years ago. Later on, due to insufficient treatment, she was crippled. Since then, Emperor Xia had never pampered her. Because of this, she had become an abandoned consort in the palace.

Because of her mother, Yunyue also became the target of ridicule and humiliation from the people in the Palace.

Beside the group of eunuchs stood another young girl. She wore a beautiful dress. Her head was also filled with gold and silver jewelry. At this moment, she was directing the eunuchs. "Hurry up and hit her, beat her to death... Where is she? Don't let him escape!"

The other girl was called Xiahou Yunwu, Noble Consort Wuh's daughter. Noble Consort Wuh usually relied on Emperor Xia's doting and domineering manner in the Palace. Her daughter was naturally also in a rush and did not restrain herself at all.

At this moment, Yunyue was beaten black and blue, and did not look like a human. Her breathing was weak and there were bloodstains on her hands. That swaying body also stopped struggling because she did not have any strength.

Looking at the fists that were coming towards her, Yunyue's vision gradually blurred. She did not know when, but she had already fainted.

When the crowd saw that Yunyue did not struggle anymore, they also gradually stopped their hands. Their hearts were filled with panic.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you fighting anymore?" Yunwu was originally at the side looking up to them, but when she saw that everyone had stopped their attacks, she was also curious.

One. A eunuch went forward to report and was trembling with fear, "Princess... Princess, she is not moving!"

"She is not moving? Why?"

"Will... will he be beaten to death?"

" Ah! " When Yunwu heard this, she almost fell to the ground. Although she was violent, she had never thought of killing! Furthermore, if Royal Father found out that someone had died, she did not know how to punish her.

"What should we do? What should we do? I don't want to kill anyone... " Yunwu was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat.

When the eunuch saw this, he was also frightened. He stood blankly on the spot and did not dare to reply.

After a long time, a younger eunuch came forward and flattered, "Princess, there are many people who have been beaten to death in this palace. It is just the daughter of an abandoned consort. She is not even comparable to a palace maid. It should not be a problem, right?"

"Although she is a crippled imperial concubine's daughter, she is still a princess. If this news reaches Royal Father's ears, this princess will suffer a great loss!"

As she spoke, Xiahou Yunwu kicked Yunyue a few times and said, "Xiahou Yunyue, you are really a jinx. If you die, then so be it. You still want to drag this princess down with you! "

"This..." This eunuch did not pay attention and another old one came forward and said: "Princess, don't be afraid. This servant has a method? Can you help the princess get out of line?"

"What method, quickly say it?"

"Princess, Xiahou Yunyue is only the daughter of a useless consort and has no status. I don't think there will be anyone who will investigate and care about her. Why don't we throw her body into the river and let her body sink down. Then no one will know."

One. One of the eunuchs heard this and asked: "Then what if someone catches her? Wouldn't that harm our princess?"

"Then we'll go all out and deny it. Anyway, they don't have any evidence, so how can they determine the person we killed? With the princess's status, they wouldn't dare to do anything to the princess!" The eunuch said proudly.

When Yunwu heard this, she thought for a while but also felt that it made sense. Hence, she steeled her heart and said, "Alright, let's do it this way!"

...

The next morning, in a red bamboo forest outside the Xia Country Imperial Palace,

Yunyue woke up from her dream and felt a splitting headache. She rubbed her head and stood up. She was in a daze as she muttered to herself, "Where am I?"

She looked around and felt like she was in a fairyland. She recalled what had happened yesterday and felt suspicious.

"Didn't I get knocked out by Xiahou Yunwu and the others? Why am I here?"

Speaking of "knocked out," only then did Yunyue notice that there was actually not a single wound on her body. The pain had also completely disappeared.

In the distance, Yunyue could smell a delicate fragrance. It was like the fragrance of jasmine flowers. The fragrance was simple and elegant, but it was mixed with a strange smell.

Yunyue had a unique characteristic since she took a piss. No matter what smell it was, as long as she smelled it, she would always be able to say something that had been there for a long time. She could even distinguish the smell of some people.

Yunyue also did not know where she learned this skill from. In short, she was very familiar with this skill from the moment she remembered it.

Yunyue was sure that this smell was definitely not the smell of jasmine flowers. It was more like a human's body fragrance.

She searched for the fragrance and went into the depths of the forest. Yunyue saw a man in white clothes.

That man sat at a stone table and was pouring tea with his hand. A sweet fragrance hit her face.

Yunyue could smell that the tea in the teapot was filled with Jasmine tea, but the fragrance she smelled just now was not from the tea, but from the man's body.

Yunyue was behind the man and just as she was about to step forward to greet him, she heard the man ask, "You are awake?"

" Yes! "

Yunyue turned in front of the man and respectfully bowed, "This one is Xiahou Yunyue. May I ask who you are..."

Yunyue slightly raised her head and saw the man.

The man was about 20 years old and was dressed in white. His hair was not very long and it was curled up and scattered around his waist. As for his face, only half of it was exposed, the other half covered by a golden mask. Even though it was only half of his face, it still shocked Yunyue quite a bit.

In her entire life, she had never seen such a handsome man. Although she was only twelve years old, the sprouting of love and yearning for the opposite sex had long been born from her heart.

The man did not answer and raised his glass to smell the tea fragrance. He then pointed to a seat beside her and indicated for Yunyue to sit down. Yunyue felt that it was strange but did not dare to ask and sat down.

"You are Xiahou Yuan's daughter?" The man took a sip of tea and asked.

Yunyue thought to herself, Xiahou Yuan is Royal Father's real name. No matter what, my father is the Monarch of Xia Country, not to mention in Xia Country. Even in the entire Imperial Spirit Continent, I'm afraid there are only a few people who can compare to her father. This man actually dared to call my father by his full name. It seems like his background isn't small!

Imperial Spirit Continent: The name of the continent Yunyue is in. There were many countries in the continent, and among them, Zhan Country, Xia Country was the most powerful. It was known as the Three Tyrants of Spirit Control. Xia Country was one of the three tyrants of the Spirit Controlling Sect.

"May I ask who you are?" Yunyue asked. She sized up this man but could not guess his background.

The man smiled and did not say anything. He changed the topic and said, "Yunyue, do you want to become stronger?"

"Become stronger?" Yunyue muttered.

Yunyue naturally wanted to become stronger. Her dream was to become a chivalrous woman of her generation. She wanted to use her sword to defend the world and avenge those girls who were bullied like her.
