Central Plains Vast Continent, Spring of 152
“Xia Huxin has gone crazy!”
With a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered, a remote courtyard in the Imperial Garden of the Vast Dynasty palace suddenly erupted into chaos.
On this day, it just so happened to be the Grand Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday. The Grand Empress Dowager hosted a banquet at Weiyang Palace, allowing Court Officials and Military Leaders to bring their families along. Starting from noon, they entered the palace in droves to celebrate her birthday.
The Empress Dowager held a tea party at Cining Palace with the concubines, chatting casually. As the mood lightened, they moved the tea party to the garden. Meanwhile, young ladies from various noble families had gathered early in the Imperial Garden, admiring the flowers, but their true purpose was to catch a glimpse of the extraordinary Fourth Prince.
Hundreds of young ladies competed for attention in the Imperial Garden, but the third miss of the Xia Family, Xia Huxin, was rarely seen.
…
In the Central Plains, the Vast Dynasty is located at the very center of the continent. It is rich in resources and strong in both wealth and population. With a foundation built over a century, it has steadily progressed, appearing orderly in every aspect.
However, beneath this flourishing peace lies the watchful eyes of four neighboring countries, each harboring ambitions.
After a century of rise and fall, a new hegemon is about to emerge on this continent, ready to dominate and look down upon all others.
Since ancient times, heroes have needed beautiful companions, but the origins of this beauty only add an air of mystery and poignancy to an impending bloody massacre.
Everything in the future will change on this day due to the appearance of one person.
She is Xia Huxin, who has just woken up at this moment.
The sky is overcast, shrouded in mist. Although it is spring at noon, the imperial harem of Vast Dynasty remains enveloped in a layer of fog that lingers for a long time.
Amidst the swirling white mist, the view is filled with rockeries, pavilions, corridors, and white jade walkways.
The lotus pond stretches endlessly, with flowers blooming in vibrant colors, and the water ripples gently.
While the beautiful scenery is visible in the distance, the scene before her is one of chaos.
Huxin quietly gazes at the overcast sky above, her gaze slowly drifting around. In the haze, it finally settles on a large area of Peony flowers crushed beneath her. Originally blooming brilliantly in white, they are now flattened and disheveled, a sight too tragic to behold. The white petals, once delicate and dripping with beauty, are now trampled under her body, their purity stained with brown dirt; the distinction between clouds and mud is nothing more than this.
Huxin can be certain that there must have been quite a commotion just moments ago. Judging by the footprints on the ground, at least three or five people have trampled here.
As she lies on the ground, trying to move her body, she finds her limbs seemingly frozen in place. In an instant, a chilling light bursts from her eyes. Huxin perks up her ears to listen to the panicked discussions not far away.
"This Xia Huxin has really gone mad!! What should we do?? We should hurry and find the Grand Empress Dowager!!"
"I think you’re the one who’s gone mad! Who would dare to find the Grand Empress Dowager? If she goes mad! None of us will have a good outcome!! We should run quickly!"
"That's right! The Grand Empress Dowager treats her like a granddaughter! She killed the maid of the Fourth Prince, and it was the Grand Empress Dowager who spared her life! Our lives are worth less than hers!"
"Le Zhao sister! Your words are not right! What is she Xia Huxin? Even if she has the favor of the Grand Empress Dowager, she’s just a daughter from a noble family! We are all either princesses or Princess! Which one of us does not hold a more noble status than her!"
"What's the big deal about being of noble status? The Grand Empress Dowager has her eyes on her! Everyone knows that the Grand Empress Dowager is about to arrange a marriage between her and the Fourth Prince! What do we princesses have but an empty title? Who can compete with her?"
"What are you all talking so much for?! Once the Imperial Forest Army arrives, they'll know it was us... We should hurry and leave this place! It's remote and deserted! If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, that wretched girl is just lying there in a daze; who would know it was us?!"
"Right, right, right! Let's hurry up! We'll corroborate each other's stories as we walk!"
As the chaotic footsteps faded away, the vast garden was left with only Huxin, lying helplessly on the ground.
"Damn it!"
This was the first thing Huxin said after crossing over.
