2024-10-29 19:42:56If possible, she did not want to be a member of the royal family. If possible, she did not want to be exceedingly beautiful. If possible, she hoped she would have never met him. She only wanted to be an ordinary peasant woman who could live a plain life with her sun, her moon, and simple food. No... in fact, she would prefer that she had never been born. In this case, she did not have to witness a defeated country and countless ruined families. Her sun would not drop down, and her moon would not fade away.
...
Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
...
Red... red... the color of overwhelming red was everywhere. On the smelly and stomach-churning ruins, there were broken limbs piled up like mountains. Voices of moaning, crying, knives, and swords were ringing everywhere. Many people were killed in this place. In the distance, a battle was still spreading like an all-consuming fire. It's predictable that more people would soon be dead. This was not a war of justice. However, there had been few wars of justice since ancient times. Vultures flew far above and watched, as if they were sneering at this ridiculous tragedy.
The color of red, the smell of blood, and the voice of screaming were torturing me. I could not help trembling. However, I must calm down. I was really frightened seeing the bloody fighting on the battlefield, but I felt more scared standing beside the king.
The king was so cruel. Soldiers of the Kingdom of Shui had almost all been killed by us. However, he still gave orders to carry out a massacre to the Kingdom of Shui which had no capacity to fight back and lost its ruler.
More people were slaughtered. This capital city was once prosperous, but now it was filled with the cry of women and children. A simple word "cruel" was not enough to describe everything.
I was only a 12-year-old adopted son, a poor orphan taken in by the king. It was not my first time to witness this kind of bloody situation. I had no ability to stop such a massacre, so I could only choose to be an indifferent onlooker.
Suddenly, the king touched my head, "Zhi, when you grow up, you will become a general who protects the Kingdom of Yun."
I said nothing but bowed my head. I knew that the king was superstitious. It had been prophesied that the Kingdom of Yun would definitely rule the whole world if this country had me. There was also another prophecy:
Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
I did not know what this sentence meant. I only knew that the king found me, and he destroyed the Kingdom of Shui only for the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui.
At this time, a soldier brought in the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui, Shui Yinzhu. The princess was a little girl as clear as a crystal. She was like a cute jade doll. It seemed that she had no idea the Kingdom of Shui had been conquered. The little girl broke free from the soldier and ran toward me. Behind me, it was the tent door.
To be honest, I didn't want her to come over because from this place I could see the slaughter outside the tent clearly. I tried my best to cover her eyes, but it's too late. She still saw everything she shouldn't see. The face of this little kid turned pale. She could see her dead parents on a tower over the city gate.
She was staring at outside dully. Suddenly, she ran out in desperation. She screamed, "Father, mother, Yinzhu is back. I will be good! I will be good! Father... mother..." She was sobbing with a hoarse voice. She now totally lost her mind.
The king didn't let anyone stop the jade doll princess but gently ordered me to follow her for keeping her alive. Therefore, I witnessed a child who was only nine-year-old running to the battlefield covered by dead bodies like crazy. She now totally ignored the terrible and desperate surroundings. This girl was trembling when she ran, which revealed she was just a young kid. She could only see her parents at this moment. This little girl ran into the silent city. She walked on the dead bodies of soldiers of the Kingdom of Shui.
On the tower, her mother was holding the king of the Kingdom of Shui. Their bodies were kind of stiff now. The little girl leaped into the arms of the dead and cold bodies of her father and mother. Her small hands held them tightly. However, because of her strength, the two corpses which had been hugging together now both fell backwards. The little girl wanted to support them, but she did not have enough physical strength. She had dried up her tears. She kept mumbling with a hoarse voice, "Father, mother, I will be good... please... please... don't leave me..."
However, no matter how she yelled, her father and mother would never answer her. I was staring at her, having no idea what to do. This was too much for a child. Besides, I also heard from the king—this little princess of the Kingdom of Shui would be buried alive to sacrifice for her enemies in the future.
This little girl had cried for a long time before she passed out. I came forward to support her in time, but I could not ease any of her pain. Looking at the nine-year-old jade doll in my arms, I had the urge to protect someone for the first time.
Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...
The princess of the Kingdom of Shui was now 9 years old. If she was buried alive at the age of 16 as a living sacrifice, the Kingdom of Yun would be prosperous. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Yun would perish without the sacrificial offering.
The country was conquered and countless families were ruined. A royal girl became an orphan. No one could protect her. From now on, she could only be independent. No one would cherish a delicate flower which fell down from a gigantic tree.

Although he was no longer in the prime of his life, he was still domineering. His countenance was still as handsome as that when he was young. A handsome young man was beside him, and he looked like King Yun. This man had delicate facial features. He had gentle eyes which were not something that a superior person ought to have. In contrast, his father had eagle eyes which could frighten everyone. He looked extremely gentle and harmless. This young man was the crown prince of the Kingdom of Yun.

A short distance ahead, there were some white walls and black tiles. Under the wavy eaves, some red columns with paintings were standing there. Two powerful words "Jicong Mansion" were written on a huge plaque that was hung high under the eaves over the front door. The golden lettering on the white background looked extremely majestic. It was obvious that these words were written by King Yun. This place was simple but solemn and dignified. It's easy for people to know that this was a majestic general mansion. However, all this was just a joke for Yun Zhi.In front of the door, this handsome and young Senior General did not dismount. He stared at the plaque with two big characters "Jicong Mansion" and clenched his hands grabbing the reins. His eyes were full of irony.The pageboy beside him asked him hastily, "General, don't you get in?""No."While they were still talking, a middle-aged man in servant costume of the Kingdom of Yun

"Who are you? Have I met you before? I think you look so familiar to me," Yun Zhi could not help but ask.The girl did not turn around and she shook her head gently. Her eyes were empty. No matter what the man asked her, her eyes were still so empty. However, the atmosphere between them was peaceful and comfortable. In fact, the man had been overwhelmed by hatred and pain, but now he gradually calmed down. This silent jade doll girl was a magic drug to appease him. He now could enjoy a temporary inner peace.At this moment, a lovely cute girl appeared and broke the silence."General Yun, why are you here?""Who are you and why do you know my identity?” Yun Zhi looked at the girl who came over. He was kind of annoyed because of her interruption, but he soon settled down."General, you are still in armor. I am Princess Xi’s servant girl, Yuer.""So... it means you are Princess Shui Yinzhu... no... now you ar

He was now walking toward Xiyan Palace which looked deserted.In Xiyan Palace, the beautiful girl in white dress wanted to have an early rest.

However, it still sounded a bit noisy in this quiet courtyard.Little palace maid Yuer had sneaked out to have fun, so the Third Princess Xi was the only one left in this place. She had been used to quiet days, so she felt uncomfortable about the noise. Princess Xi got dressed quickly and then walked to the phoenix tree.At the age of nine, she lost her parents and homeland.

In the middle of the night, almost everyone had fallen asleep. However, candles were still lit in the main bedroom of Jicong Mansion. Beside the table in the room, a man who came back not long ago was sitting there. His eyes were elegant and calm. It seemed that this man was indifferent to everything. He was Senior General, Yun Zhi. A middle-aged man was standing on his left. He looked strong and tall, and he was a thoughtful man. This man was the leader of the rebels, Li Yi, the former Senior General of the Kingdom of Xuan. Everyone thought he was dead. No one knew that Yun Zhi just fooled his soldiers and made Li Yi the butler of Jicong Mansion. Moreover, none of the rebels were killed. Li Yi brought them into Jicong Mansion in secret.

It's Yue who had been next to her that caught her and then held her in her arms.Yue's hugging was not gentle as ordinary women’s. Maybe because of her bosom, her hugging was also not as strong as a man’s. It was a different feeling, peaceful and warm.Ever since the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui, Shui Yinzhu became Yun Xi at the age of nine, no one had ever hugged her. She could only hug herself. It was the first time for her to be hugged in five years. The girl was touched, and she had never had such a feeling before.

What should be done to repay that?As he saw her tears, Xuan Zhi immediately wiped her face clean. “Come on, easy, Yinzhu. It’s my fault. Feel free to blame it on me.

She told the little girl about the death of Kong Yue, the injury of Xuan Zhi, the care of Qi Yuan, and the destiny of Wu Chen.

Villain Princess Chapter 122 Rebellion of Citizens
Speaking of the empress Shui Yinzhu, people all recognized her as the personification of a succubus. She was so charming like a vixen whose glamour in innocence could attract everyone around her. She didn’t wear the phoenix crown and robe, the status symbols as the empress but the blood-red dress. She kept her hair in a bun, and wore a simple hairpin with two pearls on it.

But she still managed to read the message before sending Paner to burn it.The bamboo scroll came from Wei Ruxuan. He intended to cooperate with Shui Yinzhu.
