Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Chapter 30 People’s minds are fickle

Princess Fengyang Yan Yushu is the second princess of the late emperor. She is three years older than Yan Donghuang, but like Donghuang, she lost her mother at a young age.

Most of the princes and princesses without mothers in the palace are adopted by high-ranking concubines, but if high-ranking concubines have their own children, how can they be sincere to children who are not their own?

The second princess Yan Yushu is a little luckier. The person who adopted her was the late queen. In order to maintain her reputation of tolerance and generosity, the late queen treated her well.

Yan Donghuang before the age of nine was the less fortunate one.

Concubine Jin, who raised her, was harsh and cunning. Not only did she treat Donghuang's food harshly, but she also hated Donghuang's "rude" temperament and thought that girls should be dignified, gentle, and fragile.

Yan Donghuang liked to practice martial arts, so Concubine Jin was particularly strict with her. She felt that she was like those wild children outside who were not disciplined. She was making trouble with a stick all day long, and she didn't look like a girl at all.

However, even though she was strictly disciplined by Concubine Jin, Yan Donghuang still secretly went to learn. Every time she was discovered by Concubine Jin, she was either starved or punished to kneel, and sometimes she was beaten.

Concubine Jin would not hit people on the face or in places that outsiders could see, but would twist the inner elbow or the tender flesh of the thigh.

Donghuang was unable to resist when she was five or six years old. After she was eight or nine years old, her body continued to grow taller, and she became stronger because of martial arts training. Every time she was beaten hard, she would resist, sometimes hiding outside directly, not returning to Concubine Jin's palace for a day or two, and eating alone when she was hungry and thirsty.

Because of this, Yan Yushu discovered her situation. At that time, the twelve-year-old Yan Yushu felt sorry for her sister, and would help her from time to time, leaving some of her own food for her.

But she knew that this was not a long-term solution.

The previous emperor was a prince who grew up on horses. After ascending the throne, he led the army in person more than once, and he valued the princes who were good at martial arts.

Once when she came back from the battlefield and went to Fengyi Palace, Yan Yushu deliberately created an opportunity for her father to "accidentally" see Dong Huang's flexible skills and talent for martial arts, which changed Dong Huang's fate.

The late emperor learned that Dong Huang was talented and interested in martial arts, so he personally taught her martial arts, tactics, and military strategies. He also took her to the battlefield when she was twelve years old, and thus began a six-year battlefield career as a generation of war gods.

During these six years, Dong Huang gradually attracted attention.

The concubines in the harem all showed their goodwill to her intentionally or unintentionally, among whom Concubine De treated her the best. The second prince Yan Ming, who was under Concubine De's knee, regarded her as his own sister. Every time she came back from the battlefield, Yan Ming personally welcomed her and brought Yan Yushu with him.

Because Yan Yushu once said that the reason she was able to discover Dong Huang's bad situation was thanks to the second prince's reminder.

So Yan Ming was the one who really saved her.

Yan Donghuang was grateful to both of them. In addition, Concubine De's affectionate attitude towards her, saying more than once that she loved her as her own daughter, slowly warmed Donghuang's lonely and cold heart.

Yan Ming also always said that he had a sister who was good at fighting and was proud of her.

Perhaps it was because she had been criticized and abused too much by Concubine Jin when she was young, and Concubine De and Yan Ming showed their approval of her martial arts training and leading troops, which made her involuntarily let down her guard and gradually accept their approach.

But too many things happened in these six years.

The late emperor was seriously injured and his condition was getting worse and worse. Foreign enemies thought they had found an opportunity and repeatedly sent troops to invade.

Yan Donghuang had to travel back and forth between the border and the capital.

In the 25th year of the late emperor, when Donghuang was 15 years old, the emperor made the queen's legitimate son the crown prince, but everyone could see that the crown prince was weak and could not be reused at all.

The competition for the throne between the princes was still fierce.

There was a turbulent undercurrent between the empress and the concubines, the princes were calculating against each other, and the civil and military officials in the court were also forming cliques.

The situation in the court was tense and almost ready to explode.

In the 26th year of the previous emperor, the prince was seen playing with the young concubines in the palace by the lake, and his clothes were disheveled. The emperor was furious and abolished the crown prince on the spot, and even the empress was abolished.

At that time, Yan Donghuang was 16 years old and was still fighting against the invading enemies on the border battlefield.

After the emperor was furious, he fell ill completely, and the palace was immersed in a dark cloud.

When she returned to the capital at the end of the year, it was just when the previous emperor was dying, and there was an urgent need to re-establish the crown prince, or in other words, there was an urgent need to select a qualified heir to the throne.

The previous emperor called Donghuang to the bedside and asked for her opinion.

That was the first time Donghuang really realized that no matter how wise and powerful the emperor was, there would be a time for him to fall, and birth, aging, illness and death were the endings that no one could escape.

After a brief pause, she said that the second emperor was broad-minded, decisive, and had the heart of a benevolent monarch.

After listening to this, the late emperor only sighed weakly: "Donghuang, people's hearts are fickle, remember that your responsibility is the Yong Dynasty. If things overturn your cognition in the future, if family affection is not as pure as imagined, if someone threatens your life, please remember that this country is yours to protect."

Donghuang did not fully understand what he said.

She just nodded: "Please rest assured, father, I will not forget my responsibility."

The late emperor looked at her, with complex and indistinguishable emotions in his eyes: "I have said more than once that women can also go to the battlefield, Donghuang, today I will leave you another word, women can protect the country, and can also rule the country. If there is such a day, if there is such a day..."

He did not finish the sentence, but Yan Donghuang seemed to understand.

She still nodded: "I understand what father means."

The late emperor quickly summoned the princes and important officials in the court, and announced in public that the second son Yan Ming would inherit the throne, and Yan Donghuang would be named the Princess Qingluan. The two siblings, one ruling the country and the other defending the country, jointly created the prosperity of the Yong Dynasty.

The other princes assisted them.

After the late emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne.

After the emperor's funeral, she rushed to the border battlefield.

She did not return to the capital until the end of last year.

The past scenes came to her mind, and Yan Donghuang suddenly realized the hidden meaning of her father's words and the little regret that could not be expressed.

She thought more than once later, did her father regret that she was a girl?

As a king and a father, he might have seen through his son long ago and knew that Donghuang had trusted the wrong person, but at the last moment, he could no longer tell him directly because there was no convincing reason, so he could only respect Donghuang's choice?

"Your Highness." Feng Yaoguang stood outside the window with a long sword in hand and reported, "Princess Fengyang is here."

Yan Donghuang turned his head to look out the window. The sun had already set.

The day was almost over.

"I have never felt that a day would pass so slowly." She said calmly, "Today I seem to have done something that usually takes half a month to do."

Feng Yaoguang said: "Your Highness is swift and decisive, and is not comparable to ordinary people."

Yan Donghuang sneered: "Bring her here."

"Yes."
