When Yun Qingyu slowly opened her eyes again, a deep male voice reached her ears, accompanied by a prickling pain in her neck.
Yun Qingyu's gaze sharpened as she suddenly raised her hand and struck out. With a powerful inhale, the boy dressed in black was sent tumbling over, crashing to the floor with a thud.
Calmly, Yun Qingyu sat up from the bed, her deep-set eyes silently surveying the opulent and imposing hall while absorbing the memories of her original self.
Yun Qingyu was the national princess of Western Qi, holding the most esteemed position among the seven princesses.
She was deeply cherished, born with remarkable strength, and had been obsessed with martial arts since childhood, displaying astonishing talent. In the hidden Pavilion dedicated to training top-tier experts in Western Qi, no one could match her.
Until Xin Yao appeared—he was the only master whom Yun Qingyu could not defeat.
Thus, Yun Qingyu brought Xin Yao from the hidden Pavilion to serve as her shadow guard. She was determined to tame this proud and rebellious shadow like one would a fierce yet captivating beast.
Xin Yao remained by Yun Qingyu's side until he turned 26.
At that moment, he knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
He struggled against the surging effects of the drug within him, his eyes cast down as he awaited the princess's judgment. Suddenly, a thunderous shout echoed throughout the palace.
"As a princess's Shadow Guard, not only do you dare to offend your superior and disrespect the princess, but you even resort to such despicable means. I demand that Your Highness immediately order Xin Yao's execution." The speaker was Consort Lu Mingzhan, the original self's most favored consort.
The original self had indulged Lu Mingzhan greatly, even seeking an imperial decree for their marriage.
But this man was nothing more than a complete scoundrel. He exploited the original owner's infatuation, using her to eliminate those who stood in his way, and supported the Third Prince's rise to power. After that, he discarded her like a used tool.
Two years after Xin Yao's death, the original owner met her end at the age of just 24, poisoned by a cup of wine he had given her.
At this thought, a glimmer of cold light flashed in Yun Qingyu's eyes. Such a scumbag was truly detestable, making one want to beat him senseless.
Yun Qingyu glanced expressionlessly at Lu Mingzhan and coldly commanded, "Go outside and kneel."
Xin Yao pressed her thin lips together and was about to get up to leave when she heard Yun Qingyu speak again: "Lu Mingzhan, I am talking about you."
Lu Mingzhan looked at Yun Qingyu in disbelief, as if he had heard something utterly absurd.
"Yun Qingyu, are you so eager to engage in such disgraceful acts with a mere guard? Is this your new trick to provoke me?" Lu Mingzhan shouted angrily.
"Yun Qingyu, let me tell you, marrying you is a decree I am forced into. You will never win my heart. No matter what means you employ, I will never compromise with you, nor will I ever share a bed with you," Lu Mingzhan continued to rage.
Yun Qingyu frowned and suddenly waved her hand, coldly uttering two words: "Shut up."
In an instant, Lu Mingzhan, still in the midst of his furious ranting, was thrown back by a powerful force, crashing to the ground in a disheveled heap.
Lu Mingzhan looked bewildered, his anger intensifying. "Yun Qingyu, have you lost your mind?"
Yet Yun Qingyu merely stared expressionlessly at the fallen Consort and shouted loudly, "Someone! Lu Mingzhan has acted disrespectfully and offended this Palace. Drag him out and give him forty lashes!"
Lu Mingzhan's face changed dramatically; he never expected that the person who once loved him the most would treat him this way.
He continued to shout, but the guards of Princess Manor had long found him displeasing. After receiving their orders, they immediately grabbed him forcefully and began to drag him out, all thinking that they could finally vent their frustrations!
