Chapter 276: Black Feather
Li Xi’er woke up with a trace of bloodshot in her eyes. Honglian brought water. “Master, were you haunted by a nightmare?”
She took it and drank some water, steadying her thoughts.
Ha! The previous Hua Linglong gave up her true appearance and preferences to gain Tuoba Yi’s attention, imitating others and ending up despised!
In fact, Linglong was very beautiful before. Her beauty was different from Hua Yan’s. Hua Yan was pretty, erudite, and multi-talented, hoping one day to attach herself to a man to achieve what she wanted!
Linglong herself had lofty status and identity, was delicately beautiful, had a free-spirited personality, studied martial arts, and had her own pursuits!
If she were a man, she would naturally choose Linglong. Unfortunately, she was deceived by that damned man, and her cousin spread rumors about her everywhere. She was too lazy to explain!
For some reason, thinking of Tuoba Yi’s face ignited a fire in her heart. She wished she could pull out his tendons, drink his blood, and extract his bones!
Thinking of Feng Qingcheng with his picturesque features, his liking for Hua Can must be due to her free and unrestrained personality!
Li Xi’er suddenly turned to Honglian and asked, “Honglian, do you know the name of the current emperor of the Si Kingdom?”
Honglian looked at the young woman in surprise, not knowing why she asked this, but still answered her, “It’s Tuoba Yu, the former Second Prince Your Highness!”
Thinking about it, she softly told her, “It’s strange. The late emperor first established the First Prince as crown prince, but for some reason changed his mind before his death! Sigh, if it was like this, he shouldn’t have established the First Prince as crown prince earlier, causing unnecessary misunderstandings!”
The First Prince was the son born to the former Empress Chunyi. This Empress Chunyi followed Tuoba Zheng through hardships in founding the kingdom, perhaps without the good fortune to enjoy it. She passed away after only two years on the throne!
The later new empress was the daughter of the Left Prime Minister. After taking office, she also had no male heirs, exhausting all methods to only get a little princess, while the Second Prince was born to Consort Zhao!
The Si Kingdom establishes the eldest as crown prince, so Tuoba Yu was established as crown prince according to the rules at age sixteen before Empress Chunyi passed away. Otherwise, with the emperor’s harem like that, it wouldn’t have been his turn.
Speaking of this, one has to mention that the Tuoba family’s kingdom and throne in the Si Kingdom were seized, and not in a very righteous way!
Their Tuoba clan’s kingdom was snatched from the Chen family. At that time, the Si Kingdom was in war chaos. Emperor Your Majesty focused on fighting foreign enemies, and coincidentally, domestic natural disasters caused a massive grain shortage leading to people living in misery. Tuoba Zheng, Tuoba Yi’s father, had wolfish ambition!
He seized the chance to raise a revolt, leading a peasant uprising, seizing the initiative, attacking and capturing the Imperial City, holding the emperor hostage to command the vassals, and taking the Chen family’s world!
Li Xi’er lowered her head and thought. The late emperor must have seen Tuoba Yi’s cold-blooded ruthlessness and hypocrisy. Like him at that time, if he ascended the throne, his bloodline would definitely be wiped out by him!
In the end, before dying, he still chose the more benevolent Tuoba Yu.
In her dream, her father had left her a cavalry troop, the Black Feather renovated by her. After her death, had it fallen into Tuoba Yi’s hands?
Black Feather was not ordinary soldiers; they were excellent soldiers selected through layers, one against ten. It was her trump card after returning to the country and becoming the Great General of the first rank!
If it fell into his hands, the Si Kingdom’s world might change hands soon!
“Where is the prince?”
“It’s said he went out! Hasn’t returned yet.”
“Oh!”
She got up, ate some things, saw the sun was still early, and took the development plan she had written to the Glazed Ware Company!
“Xiao Xi, why are you here?”
Dong Wen came forward to greet her.
“Uncle Dong, this is an updated version of the Glazed Ware Company development plan and details I did after going back. Take a look. Where it’s inappropriate or you have opinions, let’s discuss!”
