The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1122: Resilience
Chapter 1122: The Power of Reversal
Bai Qingyan looked calmly at Yun Poxing, who was seeking death. When she heard what he said to deliberately provoke Cheng Yuanzhi, hatred boiled in her heart. She shouted at her to use thousands of arrows… to torture Yun Poxing to death. She also shouted at her to… in front of Yun Poxing… to blame all the pain that Yun Poxing had inflicted on Xiao Shiqi on her grandson Yun Tianao.
But Bai Qingyan, if she wasn’t Yun Poxing…she wouldn’t do that.
When Cheng Yuanzhi heard the names of the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief from Yun Poxing’s mouth and heard about what happened to Young Master Seventeen, his eyes became bloodshot and hatred almost destroyed his sanity. He was like a murderous Rakshasa who had returned from hell. He raised the sharp blade high and cut off Yun Poxing’s neck with a clean and sharp stroke.
Yun Poxing’s bloody head rolled out…
The head was severed, but his sight was still there. He saw the white snowflakes drifting down from the dark sky, and saw his own blood mist splattering in the white snow, as if dyeing red the crystal white snow that was about to fall to the ground.
Before the light in his pupils faded away in an instant, Yun Poxing’s thoughts seemed to replay his entire life.
He was born into the direct branch of the Yun family, the first of the eight major families in Xiliang. If he had not joined the army… but accepted the family’s arrangement to serve as an official in the court, he would have definitely inherited his father’s mantle and become a leading figure who controlled the Xiliang court officials and confronted the Xiliang emperor.
Long before the late emperor was born, he had already been designated as the prince’s companion. To put it bluntly… he was the future emperor’s companion, even though he was older than all the princes at the time.
The late emperor was the legitimate son. He was ten years old when he was born. He was intelligent since childhood and was deeply loved by ministers and his father. He could be said to be the designated crown prince and a child of destiny…but they were very attached to him, not the kind of attachment that wanted to conquer or please him, but they treated him like a relative and an elder brother.
At that time, his father was very strict in teaching him, because he was the future of the Yun family. His father’s requirements were too high and he could not meet them. He was often punished by his father with a whip. He was too proud to let others know, but the late emperor would always notice…
He remembered that it was a snowy day that was rare in Xiliang. He stole medicine from the Imperial Hospital and secretly gave it to him after he entered the palace. He looked up at him with a pair of bright black eyes and said, “Brother, don’t worry. I’m smart. No one found out that I brought it to you secretly! I will never let anyone know that brother has been punished again!”
At that time, the late emperor was three years old. Huge snowflakes fell on his extremely long eyelashes and turned into water droplets, making his eyes wet. The bottom of his eyes was the purest place in the world that Yun Poxing had ever seen.
When he was seventeen years old, it was the late emperor, who was ten years younger than him, who disregarded his own safety and risked his life to block a palm from a brown bear for him in the hunting ground, which gave him room to kill the brown bear. As a result, the late emperor almost lost his life.
The late emperor was in a coma for three days, and Yun Poxing knelt at the palace gate for three days. The first thing the late emperor did after waking up was to beg his father not to punish him.
Later, the emperor’s health deteriorated and he needed medicine to stay alive at a young age. However, the emperor never regretted saving him. Instead, he always held back his cough when he was around, and his little face turned red as he comforted him, saying that he was fine.
Time passed quickly, and the late emperor reached the age of twenty, but due to health reasons… he was unable to consummate his marriage with the then Crown Princess, and was unable to give birth to children to expand the royal family, and had no heirs. The ministers and families in the court who once supported the late emperor’s direct descendant changed their minds and supported the eldest and second princes. They thought… the late emperor’s direct descendant was in such a physical state now, and they didn’t know when he would die.
It was as if the kindness and goodness of the late emperor, which they had once praised, had become unimportant. What was important was that the emperor had a healthy body and could stay in power for a long time to stabilize the political situation in Xiliang without being manipulated by the eight major families and ministers.
Therefore, Yun Poxing made up his mind to protect the late emperor to ascend the throne!
He relied on the power of the Yun family and his father-in-law…the two big families to gain a firm foothold in the court, and controlled the military power of Xiliang. He vowed to push His Majesty, who was not favored by the eight major families and court officials, to the throne.
Later, he succeeded. He lived up to everyone’s expectations and firmly controlled the political and military power of Xiliang. He killed the eldest prince and the second prince, and helped the eldest son of the royal family who was forgotten by the eight major families and court officials to ascend the throne.
He swore to protect his majesty and Xiliang, swore to be a blade in his majesty’s hands, and he would unconditionally execute all of his majesty’s orders. He was subservient to the late emperor, suppressing the eight major families and allowing his majesty to become the real ruler of Xiliang, but his contradictions with the eight major families were also increasing.
Therefore, when the late emperor was assassinated and he was trapped on the battlefield, the eight major families took the fact that the late emperor had no legitimate son but only legitimate daughter as the outbreak point, which led to the Yunjing Rebellion and the eight major families’ attempt to seize power.
He returned to Yunjing, saw Li Tianjiao, and heard Li Tianjiao say… Before her father passed away, he had told her that if she could not trust anyone in this world, she could rest assured to trust Yun Poxing, because only Yun Poxing could protect Xiliang.
Yun Poxing couldn’t help crying when he heard this, so he supported Li Tianjiao to ascend the throne unswervingly. He wanted to defeat any of the eight major families who disobeyed him as he did before, but this time he found that the eight major families were no longer the same as before. Fortunately, Li Tianjiao, the blood of the previous emperor, was also a capable person. He promoted Han Shu to fight against the eight major families.
However, no matter how talented and gifted Li Tianjiao is, no matter how desperate he is, there are… the eight major families in Xiliang who are like a thorn in the side, and… powerful enemies all around them. With internal and external troubles, they no longer have the power to turn the tide.
He was the one who failed Your Majesty by not protecting Xiliang for Your Majesty…
Amid the falling snow, he seemed to see again the pair of pure and clear eyes of His Majesty in his childhood, like black gemstones.
Yun Poxing’s vision gradually became blurred, and finally his body straightened up and twitched. Everything was over.
“grandfather!”
Yun Tianao’s miserable cries echoed throughout the valley of Lai’anshan, but his grandfather could not hear them.
Yun Poxing, a famous general of Xiliang, eventually died in Lai’anshan.
After Cheng Yuanzhi cut off Yun Poxing’s head, he gasped for breath…
His tears were about to burst out, as if that blow had exhausted all his strength. The sharp blade still dripped with blood as it fell to the ground. Cheng Yuanzhi walked to Yun Poxing’s head with a frivolous step, bent down and picked up Yun Poxing’s head, then turned and knelt in the direction of Wengshan, holding Yun Poxing’s head high up. With tears streaming down his face, he choked and shouted loudly: “Deputy Commander… I, Old Cheng, have avenged you! Seventeenth Young Master… Brothers of the Bai Family Army! Old Cheng… Old Cheng has avenged you!”
