Xuanyuan Qiong was originally a descendant of a certain branch of the royal family's "Huangzimai".
The descendants of the royal family of her line were defeated in the battle for inheritance decades ago, and have been under house arrest in the palace for a long time since then.
No coincidence.
Lin'er's life experience is actually more mysterious. No one knows her origins. However, this girl has always been locked up in the sect's courtyard. She is introverted and lonely and rarely communicates with others.
The two were similar in age and grew up in this deep palace garden. Over time, they formed a deep friendship.
Although they are not biological sisters, they are even more emotionally connected.
"Here... found them, they are here!"
The two of them were enjoying a rare moment of freedom, but suddenly there were rapid footsteps and shouts behind them.
next moment--
A large number of forbidden palace envoys came after hearing the news.
In a short time, the two little girls were surrounded by water.
"Sister Qiong'er..."
Lin'er, who had always been timid and introverted, suddenly became panicked, stood up and hid behind Xuanyuan Qiong.
"It's okay, don't be afraid!"
He protected the shivering little girl.
Xuanyuan Qiong plucked up the courage and comforted her in a deep voice: "As long as I'm here, I want to see what they can do to us!"
On the lawn in front of the palace, the expressions of the Forbidden Palace envoys were extremely serious.
His extremely cold eyes were filled with a business-like attitude, as if the two little girls in front of him were heinous fugitives, ready to execute them on the spot at any time.
"Damn the Forbidden Palace Envoy, all of you, get out of here!"
Waving his arms wildly.
Xuanyuan Qiong's eyes widened angrily, and she stood in front of Lin'er and scolded loudly.
"We are the royal family of the Daxia Empire and your masters. Let's see who dares to be rude to us!"
Facing the menacing Forbidden Palace envoy, the two little girls were already in confusion.
They really couldn't figure it out.
He just took the opportunity to escape the surveillance of the guards and sneaked out of the palace garden to breathe fresh air, but he actually caused such a big fight.
"Thankfully you still know that you are descendants of the royal family..."
A cold voice suddenly sounded.
All of a sudden.
All the Forbidden Palace envoys were startled, and then dispersed, kneeling respectfully in the direction of the visitor.
"Long live my emperor, long live~~!"
The sound of the mountain shouting long live could be heard for a while.
The man walking towards him had a gloomy face, his deep eyelids were slightly darkened, and he was wearing a gorgeous golden dragon robe. With the support of a group of servants and maids, he slowly walked towards the crowd.
He was none other than the then Emperor of Great Xia, Xuanyuan Ren.
Next to him, a young man in his early twenties followed closely behind him. Xuanyuan Longcheng, who was still the crown prince at the time, lowered his eyebrows but could not hide the gloomy temperament between his eyebrows.
"See, see Your Majesty..."
See this.
Lin'er quickly turned over and knelt down, not even daring to raise her head and look directly.
As for Xuanyuan Qiong, who has a strong personality, after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to surrender and obediently submit.
"You two are so brave..."
He coughed twice hard.
The Emperor of Daxia in front of him was extremely weak. He just walked a few more steps and began to be out of breath.
even so.
In the Great Xia Empire, where imperial power was supreme, the frail and sickly man in front of him was still the supreme being, and no one dared to disrespect him.
"As a descendant of the royal family, you are lawless and took advantage of the chaos to escape from the sect's courtyard. Now you are causing trouble all over the city. It is simply audacious!"
The cold rebuke and accusation frightened Lin'er on the spot.
Facing the supreme Emperor, she didn't dare to open her mouth to argue. She just bowed her head silently on the spot, her young shoulders trembling constantly.
"May I ask your Majesty..."
Take courage.
Xuanyuan Qiong gritted her teeth and leaned over while still asking: "You just said that we are lawless. Do you dare to ask which laws of our Daxia Empire stipulate that the descendants of the royal family are not allowed to leave the palace without permission?!"
As soon as these words came out.
It immediately caused everyone to be stunned.
In fact it is——
Since the founding of the Great Xia Empire, there has never been any law with such bizarre provisions.
Political persecution and slavery are usually shady activities!
As the party that failed to seize the legitimate title, the fate of Xuanyuan Qiong and Lin'er had already been clearly planned in advance.
That is--
They are trapped in the palace forever and are monitored from all directions at all times until they pass away in old age.
But Daxia officials can do this kind of thing, but they must not take the initiative to say it.
What's more, Xuanyuan Ren, as the king of a country, is even less likely to admit this bloody and twisted fact despite his reputation of killing his clan members and fighting with his brothers.
Extreme hypocrisy and cruelty have long been integrated into the blood of Daxia Court.
From top to bottom, almost no one is spared!
"Haha, interesting."
He covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Xuanyuan Ren narrowed his eyes and then raised his chin towards the Forbidden Palace envoy beside him.
The latter understood immediately, stepped forward quickly, and roughly lifted the rude little girl up without hesitation.
"I recognize you."
Wiped the corners of his mouth.
Xuanyuan Ren's face turned pale, he coughed a few more times, and sneered: "Your name is Xuanyuan Qiong. Your father competed with my grandfather for the throne, and was eventually defeated by his old man. He was imprisoned in the palace until his death... ..”
Startled slightly.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes.
The Xuanyuan Qiong in front of her was as silent as a little chicken. After all, she was a ten-year-old child, how could she withstand such pressure.
"Just now, didn't you ask me what kind of law I follow?"
"I can tell you right now..."
Slowly approached Xuanyuan Qiong.
Xuanyuan Ren's eyes showed a fierce light, and he smiled coldly: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers are on the shore of the land."
"What I said..."
Looking directly at the girl's increasingly timid eyes, he pointed back at himself.
Emperor Xuanyuan Ren of Great Xia spoke firmly and said word by word: "This is the most reasonable law!"
Hit the nail on the head.
As Xuanyuan Ren turned around, the Forbidden Palace envoy threw the girl onto the grass without even treating her as a royal.
I couldn't help but feel despair on my face.
Xuanyuan Qiong's expression was dull, as if his whole body was down, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
There is no law to speak of, let alone reason to speak of.
In the face of imperial power, everyone is in danger.
As long as Xuanyuan Ren is willing, even if he immediately orders the execution of the two little girls, no one will dare to gossip.
Winner takes all, loser for Kou.
In fact, from the moment Xuanyuan Qiong's fathers lost power, her tragic fate was already doomed.
"Someone is coming!"
Swinging his sleeves.
Xuanyuan Ren turned around and glanced at the two frail little girls. His eyes were cold and piercing, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Lock Xuanyuan Qiong into the confinement room of the sect's courtyard and make her meditate on her past. As for Lin'er, she will be sent to the sect again." Court, we must strictly discipline him and never allow him to take another step out of the palace!"
"According to the order~~!"
A large number of Forbidden Palace envoys swarmed up and forced the two stunned little girls apart on the spot, dragging one to the left and the other to the opposite direction.
