After entering the book, the vicious female supporting role became the heroine
Chapter 33 The eldest princess
Xiao Jinghan shouted in a low voice: "Grandma Yu! I was attacked on the way here..."
Granny Yu's cloudy eyes flashed: "I know, it was Dark Moon Fairy who saved you!"
Xiao Jinghan entered the courtyard, which was clean and simple. Several kapok trees were in full bloom, and the bright red flowers, which were not vulgar, dotted the courtyard with bright red colors. The breeze blew, and the flowers fell, like a group of fairies dancing lightly in the silence.
Xiao Jinghan looked up and squinted slightly under the kapok tree. The spring sunlight shone through the bright red flowers and fell into his eyes. He sighed softly and followed Grandma Yu through the flower hall to a Buddhist temple.
In the Buddhist temple, an old woman with white hair was kneeling in front of the Buddhist shrine, beating a wooden fish and twisting Buddhist beads.
Xiao Jinghan looked solemn and called out respectfully: "Grandma!"
The old woman was Chu Yuyan, the eldest princess of Emperor Taizu, the elder sister of the late emperor, and the aunt of Emperor Wen.
The Grand Princess did not look back at Xiao Jinghan. She closed her eyes and asked Xiao Jinghan: "Have the kapok flowers in the courtyard bloomed?"
Xiao Jinghan was silent for a moment before replying: "It's in full bloom!"
The eldest princess sighed, and her back became even more hunched.
Xiao Jinghan lowered his eyes and asked, "Grandma, do you want to go see the kapok flowers?"
The eldest princess' voice was a little old: "Han'er! I don't have the face to see the kapok flowers. After so many years, I know you blame me! But... I am the eldest princess of Dazhao Kingdom, I am a member of the royal family, I have to shoulder my responsibilities!"
Xiao Jinghan choked up a little and said, "I once heard from Grandma Yu that my grandmother fell in love with my grandfather at first sight under the kapok trees! I...I recently heard a rumor that my grandfather and father were poisoned by the Azure Sky!"
The eldest princess didn't say anything else. She kept counting the Buddhist beads quickly.
Xiao Jinghan closed his eyes, a look of pain on his face: "Grandma! The person who assassinated me today wanted to force out the secret guards behind me..."
He opened his eyes and regained his composure: "Grandma! You are from the royal family, but I am not! I am from the Xiao family! I will not let my grandfather and father die in vain! And my mother!"
The eldest princess finally turned around, and Grandma Yu walked over and helped her up. Chu Yuyan looked at Xiao Jinghan for a long time with a sad face, and then asked: "Are you sick?"
Xiao Jinghan felt bitter in his heart: "The poison of the Azure Sky and other unknown poisons!"
The eldest princess's cloudy eyes were filled with anger: "Was it Emperor Wen who poisoned you or was it Xiao Jingyi?"
Xiao Jinghan was silent for a moment before he said, "It doesn't look like Emperor Wen. I was still young when I was poisoned, and Emperor Wen used the royal family's secret medicine to save my heart."
The anger in the eldest princess' eyes turned into pain: "No matter who they are, they shouldn't touch the last bloodline of the Xiao family!"
She took out a blood jade from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jinghan: "Han'er! After your grandfather died, your father and your mother found out the cause of your grandfather's death. Ahem... But over the years, they still haven't found out who poisoned your grandfather!"
She panted for a while, took Xiao Jinghan's hand and said: "The death of your father and your mother may involve people from the royal family. Grandmother only hopes that you will not let Dazhao Kingdom fall into war and cause great suffering!"
"Don't blame grandma for leaving you! I'm afraid that if I'm by your side, you'll be in danger at any time! Ahem... The Black Armor Army is the dowry my father gave me. It is a divine army scattered among the people. Now grandma is handing the token to you. In the future, you will need to support a wise ruler!"
Xiao Jinghan's pupils tightened. It turned out that the legendary Black Armor Army really existed!
Everyone thought that the Black Armor Army belonged to Prince Wu'an! Who would have thought that the Black Armor Army belonged to the Grand Princess?
The eldest princess Chu Yuyan was also a female general in those days. She followed Emperor Taizu in his campaigns to the east and the west and expanded the territory of the Dazhao Kingdom.
She didn't like makeup, but loved weapons, and was even more sturdy than men. She could ride a horse and shoot a bow at the age of ten, and could shoot an arrow through a willow tree from a hundred steps away. She was also proficient in swords, spears, swords and halberds, especially a small silver spear, which she wielded with such skill that many men felt inferior to her.
When Emperor Taizu was besieged by tens of thousands of Yuewu cavalrymen at the border of Nanyi, she volunteered to go out of the city to seek help. She led more than ten soldiers to break through the siege, summoned reinforcements, and successfully saved her father from danger.
As a woman, she has such courage and has achieved such a feat at such a young age. She is truly a heroine.
The reinforcements that the Grand Princess invited were none other than General Wu'an, who blocked an arrow for Emperor Taizu during the battle.
Later, he was named Wu'an Wang by Emperor Taizu and became Chu Yuyan's consort. It is said that it was Chu Yuyan who took the initiative to pursue Wu'an Wang.
At that time, King Wu'an was a famous handsome man in Dazhao. He was tall and mighty, but his facial features were extremely handsome.
The eldest princess looked at Xiao Jinghan and reached out to touch his face: "You have some of... your grandfather's style. The poison of Biluo can be cured. Only Youli... the royal family has the antidote! Han'er! Don't worry before you grow up! Grandmother... it's time to accompany your grandfather! The leader of the Black Armor Army... is in Fengying Village!"
"Bury me... in your grandfather's tomb,... there are a lot of kapok flowers there!" The eldest princess lowered her hands, tears falling from the corners of her eyes...
Xiao Jinghan hugged the eldest princess tightly, suppressed his grief, and whispered: "Grandma!"
Granny Yu knelt down beside the Grand Princess, wailing: "Princess!" She then stood up and slammed her head against the wall. She followed the Grand Princess...
Xiao Jinghan hugged the Grand Princess, crying silently...
Last night, the Grand Princess sent a message to Emperor Wen, saying that she wanted to see Xiao Jinghan again before she died.
It has been ten years since Xiao Jinghan last saw the Grand Princess. When Xiao Qichen and Xiao He passed away, the Grand Princess was heartbroken and went to the back hill of the White Horse Temple to chant sutras and pray for her son and daughter-in-law.
She hadn't set foot in the imperial city for ten years! She had hatred and resentment in her heart! But she never took action against the royal family!
She wanted Xiao Jinghan to grow up safely, away from the disputes of the royal family. But before she died, she clearly realized that being in the royal family, one cannot survive by just being tolerant.
She wanted to leave her Xuanjia Army to Xiao Jinghan! Only letting Xiao Jinghan survive was more important than anything else!
But when she finally understood these truths, it was too late. Her husband, her son and her daughter-in-law were all victims of the struggle for imperial power!
Not long after, the guards sent by Emperor Wen took away the bodies of the Grand Princess and Grandma Yu.
Xiao Jinghan said to the guards: "You send the eldest princess back to the city first. I want to pray for my grandmother in the temple!"
The captain of the guards left a team of men to protect Xiao Jinghan, and the rest returned to the city.
In Empress Dowager Xue's Cining Palace, Emperor Wen tried hard to suppress his anger: "Mother! Why did you send someone to assassinate Xiao Jinghan? Once Xiao Jinghan dies, Xiao Jingyi in Nanyi will have an excuse to raise an army to attack Shangjing!"
Empress Dowager Xue said calmly, "Emperor! Are you afraid that Xiao Jingyi will start a rebellion? No! You are afraid that the woman's son will die! You are afraid that she will not forgive you in your dreams!"
