Chapter 37 The Past (Part 1)
Xunxue didn't have such an idea and replied frankly: "Brother Xi is a disciple of Qingchengshan."
The woman's face suddenly changed and she said in surprise: "Princess, you cannot contact the teenagers in the world. The Emperor of Heaven was already furious about the last incident. If you are in love with this young master, the Emperor of Heaven will not let you go after you know it. For the sake of the princess' safety, please think twice before you act." The women behind her buried their heads on the ground and echoed: "Princess, please think twice before you act."
After hearing this, Xun Xue looked unhappy and thought, "What's going on? I have never been a blind eye to these women. How can these people interfere in my private affairs? It's really outrageous!"
The monks were also confused. Xun Xue went out of the demon country privately, causing snow to fall in August in the world, and many innocent people were frozen to death. This matter was known. The Emperor of Heaven was so angry that he wanted to punish Xun Xue. This matter was also understood.
However, now the two of them have a similar relationship, which has not hindered the others. Why did the Emperor of Heaven interfere with it and break up the couple? Lin Xi shook his head helplessly, and he still couldn't understand the reason.
Seeing the face of his beloved, Xunxue took a deep breath and said to the women: "Sisters, I will say it again, my name is Xunxue, not your princess. Brother Xi will never leave me. I will marry him in this life. Even if the Emperor of Heaven stops me, I will not be afraid of me!"
Naixi was moved by Xunxue's heartfelt words, raised his head and looked at Xunxue's cheeks with a slightly red look, his eyes full of tenderness.
The leading woman was so scared that she let go of her hand, and sat on the stone slab on the ground, saying sadly: "Your Highness, you don't think about yourself, but also think about the Lord! In order to make you become an immortal, the Lord took the initiative to abandon disputes with the Emperor of Heaven and took his wife and children to the south of the Yangtze River. Now that you are willing to give up your immortal book for a person in the world, wouldn't it be a shame for your good intentions?"
Xunxue and Yu Luxi looked at each other, and both of them were as if they were in the clouds.
The woman paused for a while and said, "You didn't want to be Zhuanxu's concubine back then, and you were punished by the Emperor of Heaven to suffer in the Demon Kingdom. Now that you have finally returned to the Heavenly Court, you are infatuated with this young man in Qingcheng Mountain. Have you really forgotten the instructions you gave back then..."
"Wait! What did you say?" The woman was interrupted by Xunxue before she finished speaking. She had a bit of an ominous premonition in her heart and refused to accept the facts she guessed.
Lin Xi also suddenly became enlightened and asked, "This girl, can you reveal your princess's name?" The woman looked at Lin Xi and said loudly, "Our princess is Zong Xiang." Lin Xi pointed to Xun Xue and said, "That's right. She is not Princess Zong Xiang, but Princess Xun Xue."
The woman shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Princess, you are so cruel. In order to forget the past, you even changed your name. However, Princess, you can change your name, but you can't change your appearance or carry with you."
Of course, Hixi knew that Xunxue had never changed her name, but she was a little puzzled by the "carrying thing" that the woman said.
The woman seemed confident and pointed to the jade pendant on Xunxue's waist and said, "Princess, you have been carrying this jade pendant for thousands of years? You are so in love with this jade pendant, which shows that you have not forgotten the Lord in your heart."
When Xunxue heard someone mention her father, she was displeased and pouted and said, "Sister, this jade pendant was given to me by my brother Mu Zang, and it has nothing to do with my father."
The woman was skeptical and said coldly: "Princess, what happened over the years has made you forget about the Lord?"
Hie felt that the two of them were getting farther and farther away, so he asked straightforwardly: "Girl, what is your name?" The woman said: "Your Majesty is Yuwang, the Emperor Yan!" As soon as she finished speaking, Hie was so shocked that she screamed.
Xunxue walked back to Xi's side and asked softly: "Brother Xi, have you found anything?" Zhixi nodded and said to the women in the courtyard: "Everyone, I'm not talented. I haven't read a few days of reading, but I know who Yuwang is?"
Zhixi paused for a while, and then slowly said: "Yuwang and the Emperor of Heaven joined forces, defeated and killed Chiyou in the Battle of Zhuolu, drove his subjects into Fuqi Mountain, and became the ancestor of the people of the Demon Kingdom today. If you don't tell a lie, then Princess Zongxiang is Xunxue's mother."
Although Xunxue was a little surprised, she was as expected and did not make a sound immediately.
Hie touched his head and said with confusion: "But there is one thing I still don't understand. The Battle of Zhuolu took place thousands of years ago. If Princess Xiang was still alive, she would be at least a thousand years old. How could she give birth to Xunxue fifteen years ago?"
The women looked at each other and couldn't accept such an explanation. However, every word of Hie was reasonable and there was no flaw. After a moment, the women finally sighed and told the story of what had happened before.
More than a thousand years ago, according to the discussion between Emperor Tian and Emperor Yan, the princess Zong Xiang ascended to the Heavenly Court as a fairy. These women were Zong Xiang's maids and also followed her to the Heavenly Court together.
Later, Emperor Tian’s grandson Zhuanxu went to Xuecheng and married the daughter of the North Pole Immortal Lord as the main concubine, consolidating his position as the main god in the Northern Heavenly Court. Zhuanxu’s main concubine gave birth to two girls in succession, but she had not been pregnant for thousands of years.
Emperor Tian was anxious about the matter of extinction of the royal family. After checking the fate of the fairies of Biyunxiao, he found that Zong Xiang would soon give birth to a boy, so he issued an order to betroth her to Zhuanxu as his concubine.
Zong Xiang has been practicing immortality in the heavenly court for thousands of years and refused to agree to be the concubine of Tiansun. In a rage, the Emperor of Heaven invaded Zong Xiang into the demonic country. Although her maids were innocent, they were also implicated in this matter and were all taken to Fengling Tower to be detained and will never be released.
Of course, those women didn't know what happened after Xiang arrived in the Demon Kingdom.
At this time, the Demon Kingdom had changed several generations of monarchs, but Chiyou's descendants were still resentful of the Battle of Zhuolu. Back then, Yuwang's troops were invincible in the war and killed thousands of soldiers under Chiyou.
More than 20 years ago, Yuwang's daughter Zong Xiang was ready to be executed by the Demon Lord when she first arrived in the Demon Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord was a sympathetic person. Not only did she not pursue Zong Xiang's involvement, she instead made her become her own concubine and gave birth to a son two years later.
