The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Chapter 21 Three Lives and Three Worlds 3

Zi You: "Later, Empress Le Xu said that the only person who could marry the Crown Prince must be from the Celestial Clan or a prominent family, and Ye Hua also said that unless I could do what Bai Qian did, he would have to marry me. Because my uncles were very kind to me at the time and took great care of me, it made my life much easier. So, in order to increase my value, I asked the Emperor to appoint me as his concubine. This was equivalent to appeasing the leaders of the various branches of the Celestial Clan on his behalf."

Su's mother gently patted Ziyou's arm: "You are confused. How could you treat yourself like this?"

Su Lian felt a little comforted when she heard what her friends did, but the Tianjun's family was really cold-blooded, treating the orphans of their clansmen who died in battle for them like this. Fortunately, he is not the Tianjun now, otherwise whoever wants to protect the Tian clan can do so.

Su Lian seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked Zi You, "That's not right. You said that Crown Prince Ye Hua's principal wife is Qingqiu Bai Qian, but isn't that the fiancée of Second Prince Sang Ji?"

Ziyou was also at a loss for words. If he didn't want his son, he'd give it to his grandson. The Heavenly Emperor wasn't particular about that. But he still explained, "When the Second Prince Sang Ji went to Qingqiu to cultivate his relationship with Bai Qian, he couldn't see her. Instead, he saw Bai Qian's maid, a snake, all day long. Eventually, they fell in love. Sang Ji refused his marriage proposal for her sake. To appease Qingqiu, the Heavenly Emperor arranged for the engagement between Crown Prince Ye Hua and Bai Qian. Ye Hua was highly valued by the Heavenly Emperor. He had always told him he shouldered a great responsibility, and he didn't dare disobey him. That's why he said, 'If you have the ability, become like Bai Qian and make me marry you.'"

Su Mu thought it was outrageous. If her son didn't want it, she would give it to her grandson. This Heavenly Lord was really not particular about winning over Qingqiu.

Su Lian and her mother both thought about why their daughter made that choice at that time. It was because she had no backing, and if she wanted to marry Ye Hua, she could only rely on the Heavenly Emperor and please him, so that’s why that happened.

Mother Su: "What happened next? Did you marry Ye Hua as you wished?"

Zi You: "Later, Ye Hua secretly married Su Su from the mortal realm. The Heavenly Emperor discovered them and brought them back to the Heavenly Palace. By then, she was already pregnant. I was filled with jealousy and resentment. Neither the Heavenly Emperor nor Empress Le Xu liked that mortal, so I dealt with her without mercy, falsely accusing her of pushing me off the Zhuxian Terrace. I also injured my eye as a result, but I never expected Ye Hua to gouge her eye out for me."

Su Lian looked down on Ye Hua: "I don't think Ye Hua really likes that mortal, otherwise how could he dig out her eyes?"

Zi You: "Later, Ye Hua often ignored Su Su in order to prevent the Emperor from targeting her. Su Su was already prone to overthinking due to her pregnancy. I told her that if she jumped from the Zhuxian Terrace, she would return to where she was supposed to be. Not long after she gave birth, she did. Ye Hua actually jumped as well, leaving him severely injured. Only the Soul-Binding Lantern we had could save him, so I took the opportunity to ask to marry Ye Hua as his concubine, and the Emperor agreed. But no one could have imagined that the mortal Su Su was actually Bai Qian from Qingqiu, and that it was merely a love tribulation that had been borne by the divine tribulation."

Su Lian looked at Zi You with deepest pity. This was their cherished daughter. If they were still around, they could have made her Ye Hua's principal wife, not just a concubine. Why resort to such self-defeating schemes? How could a marriage like that be happy? And with the temperament of those people in Qing Qiu, they would definitely not let her go.

Zi You: "I also did a lot of wrong things later. To win favor, I falsely accused Sang Ji's son of molesting me. When Ye Hua was going through trials in the mortal world, in order to drive a wedge between Ye Hua and Bai Qian, I made a doll to seduce Ye Hua. Later, Bai Qian came back to ask for her eyes."

Thinking of her trial, "Later, having my eyes gouged out, I went to the Celestial Emperor to file a complaint. I didn't expect to be judged by Emperor Donghua, Crown Prince Yehua, and Sang Ji. Ultimately, they jointly convicted me of three crimes: First, Su Jin used a puppet to seduce the Celestial Clan's crown prince. According to Celestial law, she should be banished to the animal realm, eternally condemned to extinction. Second, Su Jin framed the Celestial Clan's grandson, Yuan Zhen. Third, Su Jin falsely accused the Celestial Clan's crown prince on the spot. Emperor Donghua even said, 'Even before Goddess Bai Qian's case has been tried, I've already committed these three crimes. Which one would you rather believe, Goddess Bai Qian or this notorious woman?' So, in the end, the Celestial Emperor personally passed the verdict, expelling me from the immortal realm and banishing me to the Ruoshui River to guard the Donghuang Bell."

At this moment, Su Lian and his wife particularly want to imitate Qing Cang and rebel against the Celestial Clan and Emperor Donghua. Why don't they mention that it was because of Bai Qian that Xuannv stole the formation diagram of Lord Mo Yuan, which led to the death of their entire clan in battle? Otherwise, how could their daughter end up in such a situation? They let Su Jin, who has not practiced much and has no eyes, guard the Donghuang Bell. Although Qing Cang was temporarily sealed, he will come out eventually. They just want Su Jin to die there.

Su Lian said sadly, "Then Qingcang must have broken through the bell and escaped."

Zi You: "That's right, but I had no magical powers at that time, and could do nothing but die. However, my instinct for survival urged me to retreat. Later, Ye Hua sacrificed his soul to the Donghuang Bell. I was convicted of failing to fulfill my duties as the bell-guarding fairy, which indirectly led to Ye Hua's isolated and helpless death in the battle with Qingcang. The Heavenly Emperor was furious and permanently removed me from the immortal list, banished me to the Nine Heavens, and included me in the six reincarnations, experiencing a hundred lifetimes of love tribulations."

After saying this, Zi You saw that his parents' eyes looked strange. Their eyes were red and more evil and fierce. This was a sign of the coming of the Ink. Zi You quickly used his magic power to help them evacuate their auras and calm them down. Then he let them fall into a deep sleep. Now was the time for them to sleep and relax. Seeing them like this, Zi You felt a little regretful, but he felt a little relieved. He knew that Su Jin should have always been there. Now after telling those things, she let it go, or left? She probably always wanted to see a different life, but seeing her parents' behavior, she must be very happy to know their love for her. She had never been loved in her life. She calculated a lot, but it was just for love, care, and a home of her own. Unfortunately, these were gone when she was five hundred years old.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the clouds onto the earth. Upon waking, Su Lian and his wife began to impose exceptionally strict standards on their tribe's cultivation. They knew that only through continuous effort and improvement of their cultivation would they have a greater chance of survival in the coming wars. Thus, they devoted all their time to cultivation, not daring to slack off even for a moment.
