Chapter 169 Marriage with the Princess 1
After returning to the system space, Wangcai also reported the results of the mission.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have gained 20 merits for this mission. Please keep up the good work, host."
"Host, do you want to rest for a while?"
Yunyan shook her head.
"I think the small world is quite interesting. Go on! So many of these worlds are modern planes. Pick me an ancient one."
Wangcai agreed readily.
"Okay, host."
"Selecting the mission world, transferring..."
Yunyan opened her eyes and found herself sitting in a luxurious carriage.
Wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, she looked at her own soft and boneless hands, and the various precious jewels on her body.
Yunyan was a little surprised. Was she going to get married? It seemed that her status was quite noble.
"Wangcai, pass the plot to me."
After Yunyan finished speaking, a large number of memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind.
This is an ancient dimension full of palace fighting and intrigue, but palace fighting and intrigue have nothing to do with the original owner. She is just a minor supporting character who sacrificed on the growth path of the protagonists.
The original owner, Murong Ziyan, was an unpopular princess in the Daqian Dynasty.
Her younger brother Murong Yi is the male protagonist of this world. This world mainly tells the story of Murong Yi, an unpopular prince, who has been enduring for more than ten years, fighting with the other eight princes, and finally joining forces with the prime minister's daughter to ascend the throne.
In the 45th year of Daqian, the Liao Kingdom in the north gradually became stronger and repeatedly violated the Daqian border.
At this time, the Liao Kingdom had just experienced a drought, the treasury was empty, and there was a lack of generals who could go to war, so the Daqian Emperor Murong Jun decided to let the princess marry.
The Liao Kingdom was located in the north, with a harsh natural environment and most of the Liao people were vicious. None of the pampered princesses of Daqian were willing to marry into the Liao Kingdom.
At this time, the original owner Murong Zi Yan was pushed out. She was the least favored princess in the palace.
His biological mother was just a lowly person who was born as a palace maid. Although she later gave birth to a prince, the emperor had many concubines and was not short of sons.
What's more, the original owner's mother was a dull and boring person with nothing but a pretty face. The emperor soon became disgusted with her.
Therefore, Murong Zi Yan and her younger brother Murong Yi were not respected much, and they were even marginalized at one point.
In fact, Murong Zi Yan was not remembered by his adoptive father at first. All this was because of Murong Yi's instigation.
Murong Yi was ambitious and realized this was a good opportunity.
So she persuaded her sister to agree to the marriage. Murong Zi Yan had promised her mother before her mother died that she would take good care of her younger brother.
In order to live up to her mother's trust, she finally decided to sacrifice her own happiness in exchange for national peace and an opportunity for her brother to show up in front of the emperor.
Sure enough, Murong Yi used her as a stepping stone and successfully gained popularity in front of the emperor. From then on, the emperor finally discovered the talent of his son.
It also made Murong Yi qualified to compete for the position of crown prince.
And Murong Zi Yan began a life of misfortune.
The Liao Kingdom did not have much respect for this princess who was married to a foreign king, as they themselves looked down on the Daqian Kingdom.
The reason for agreeing to the marriage was to conserve their energy, and the Liao emperor already had a legal wife.
Therefore, Murong Zi Yan's status after she got married was even lower than that of a sheepdog.
The Liao emperor was violent and lustful, and Murong Ziyan married him just as a tool for him to vent his lust.
She was humiliated by the Liao emperor in front of a large number of ministers in the Liao military tent.
In the Liao Dynasty, she was nominally the emperor's concubine, but in reality she was a prostitute of the lowest class.
After the Liao emperor got tired of playing with her, she was insulted by all kinds of people.
She ate sheep food and slept in the sheep pen. When the emperor was in a good mood, he would tie a rope around her neck and make her crawl on the ground like a puppy.
After she became pregnant, the Liao emperor aborted her child more than once until she could no longer have children.
After ten years of such hard times, the Daqian Kingdom finally went to war with the Liao Kingdom.
At that time, Murong Yi had already firmly established himself on the throne. He personally led the army to fight and finally defeated the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao emperor committed suicide.
In order to avoid being criticized, Murong Yi brought Murong Zi Yan back to Daqian.
From then on, Murong Zi Yan became a noble princess, but everyone looked at her with contempt.
They had heard about Murong Zi Yan's experience a long time ago. On the surface, they all said that the princess was a meritorious contributor to Daqian, but in private they looked down on Murong Zi Yan in every way.
Murong Zi Yan no longer cared about the rumors of outsiders. He just wanted to live his life in peace and quiet.
But Murong Yi did not let her go. Perhaps he felt it was too shameful to have such an imperial sister. Murong Zi Yan suddenly died in the second month after she returned.
Murong Zi Yan never understood until her death why no one could tolerate her. It was obvious that all this peace was brought about by her, but there was no place for her in this world.
Her mother repeatedly told her to take good care of her younger brother, but she was always treated as a pawn.
In the end, she was no longer of any use, and Murong Yi didn't even give her a chance to live out the rest of her life.
This world is so unfair. She felt that all the humiliation she suffered was worth it for the sake of her country and her family.
But when her sincerity was trampled upon, Murong Zi Yan was left with only resentment.
After Yunyan received the original owner's memories, she also felt that Murong Yi was an ungrateful person and that the Liao Kingdom deserved to be destroyed.
Wangcai’s voice rang out.
"Host, the original owner's wish is not to accept the marriage, and to take revenge on all those who have hurt her."
Yunyan nodded to show that she understood, but of course she couldn't just go in for the marriage obediently.
Yunyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look outside.
The marriage procession was huge, with at least a hundred people.
She tried to feel her own body. Well, although it was impossible to use spiritual power, she could still use physical strength.
Ghosts and gods exist in this world, and she can draw talismans.
Yunyan called out to the maid walking next to her, and recalled that the girl's name was Xiaodie.
"Xiaodie, how long will it take to get to Liao?"
Xiaodie was a little confused, her eyes were clear, and she thought for a long time before answering: "Princess, it will probably take two days to get there."
Although Yunyan thought Xiaodie was weird, she didn't think much about it.
As it got darker, the marriage team found an inn to rest.
With the support of Xiaodie, Yunyan slowly walked towards the post station.
In the middle of the night, a thief suddenly broke into the originally quiet inn.
The patrolling soldiers soon discovered the gang of thieves, and the entire post station was thrown into chaos.
General Shen, who was escorting the princess to marry, left a group of people to protect the princess, and he took the soldiers to catch the thief.
In the room, Yunyan was planning to knock Xiaodie out and then escape in the chaos.
Unexpectedly, there was a sound of fighting outside the door, and the door was kicked open soon.
Several masked men in black rushed in. They seemed to be after gold and treasures. Xiaodie was scared half to death.
He hid in the corner, trembling, and yelled, "Ahhh, Xinhao, stop it!"
