Transmigrating Female Supreme: The Peerless Husband Depends on Me
Chapter 254: Superior to Women
The room was so quiet that only Xiao Fan's heavy breathing could be heard. Everyone was immersed in the royal past full of twists and turns and tragedies, and their mood became increasingly heavy.
“Thus, a fierce power struggle began.
The faction headed by my mother and the faction headed by the current queen, like two ferocious beasts, engaged in a brutal competition for supreme power.
My mother was filled with resentment. She was determined not to accept the seemingly unfair decision of the Imperial Grandmother and resolutely confronted the royal family at every turn.
Most of those who firmly supported my mother were generals who had fought alongside her on the battlefield.
Out of loyalty to my mother and passion, they threw themselves into this vortex of power without hesitation.
The cruel reality dealt them a heavy blow.
As military officers, they may be brave and fearless on the battlefield, but once they are involved in the complex and treacherous political struggles in the court, they seem to be powerless.
The civil servants were sharp-tongued and eloquent, but the simple statement of "plotting rebellion" silenced them.
In this invisible but equally brutal struggle, the situation gradually turned unfavorable to my mother's side.
Some of those who once vowed to support her lost their lives under cruel political suppression, while others chose to defect due to the heavy burden.
The once bustling camp became increasingly deserted, and there were fewer and fewer people around my mother.
My mother watched all this happen, but was powerless to change it.
Her determined eyes gradually dimmed, and her former ambitions were completely worn away.
She couldn't understand why she had fought bloody battles all her life to protect the stability of the country, but in the end she ended up being deserted by everyone.
Every departing figure, every face that was once familiar but now filled with fear and alienation, is like a sharp blade, deeply hurting the mother's heart.
She wandered alone in the empty tent, recalling the past glory and the present desolation, her heart filled with endless pain and despair.
Finally, after countless sleepless nights, my mother's stubborn figure gradually collapsed.
Her eyes became dull, as if she had lost her soul.
She compromised and stopped struggling, as if she had accepted this cruel fact.
The once majestic and invincible female general is now just a hollow shell, ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of fate, and devoid of all light and hope.
Xiaofan's body trembled when he said this.
Xiao Fan continued speaking in a low and suppressed voice: "Just when everyone thought that this power struggle had finally come to an end and everyone was happy, the Empress Dowager, perhaps feeling guilty, began to constantly compensate my mother.
He was granted the honorable title of Prince Ning'an and asked to assist the current empress, with his status and power second only to the empress.
She also often asked my mother and the Queen to demonstrate their sisterly love in front of everyone and share the beauty of the world."
Xiao Fan paused, his eyes revealing deep sorrow: "The Imperial Grandmother thought that this arrangement was the best of both worlds, that it could appease my mother while maintaining the superficial harmony of the imperial family.
My mother, however, accepted all these gifts without a trace of emotion on her face. Everyone thought that after all the ups and downs she had gone through, she had finally come to terms with it and let go of her past obsessions.
He took a deep breath and continued, “Unexpectedly, on a seemingly ordinary night, a horrific tragedy occurred in Prince Ning’an’s mansion.
Prince Ning'an dismissed all the idlers in his palace, and at what should have been a joyous and peaceful family dinner, all of the prince's forty-three husbands, sixteen sons, and three daughters perished.
Xiao Fan's voice trembled slightly, as if he had witnessed the horrific scene firsthand: "Such a shocking change has plunged the entire Prince's Mansion into a hellish state in an instant.
When the Empress Dowager and the Empress learned about this, they were afraid that this royal scandal would be leaked and affect the dignity and reputation of the royal family.
So they immediately blocked all news, claiming that bandits were seeking revenge and had poisoned the food and drinks."
He clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead: "But this is just a lie that only makes it more obvious.
The Prince's Palace was heavily guarded, so how could they easily let bandits in? Furthermore, poisoning was a very strange method, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the trick.
But under the heavy pressure of imperial power, no one dared to delve deeper, and the truth was buried deep in darkness."
Tears glistened in Xiaofan's eyes, and his voice became choked: "In order to maintain their so-called face, the royal family actually chose to deceive and conceal the truth.
The truth behind this may never be revealed to the world, becoming an eternal secret and pain."
Xiao Fan was crying uncontrollably at this point, his body trembling with extreme grief.
Shangguan Haochen hurried forward, gently helped Xiaofan sit down, handed him a glass of water, his eyes full of concern and pity.
Xiao Fan took the cup of water, breathing heavily, and trying to calm himself down.
It took him a long time to recover and he spoke again, his voice still filled with sadness and helplessness.
"My mother poisoned me. She has never let it go."
Xiaofan's tears could not stop flowing again
"She was completely hopeless and looked dazed every day. We all noticed something was wrong with her, but no one could persuade her. We all thought time would slowly heal her inner wounds and allow her to gradually let go of her past resentment and unwillingness, but we never expected she would make such a cruel decision."
Xiaofan's eyes became empty, as if he saw his mother's despair again.
"She was very strict with my sisters since they were young, hoping that they would inherit her bravery and fighting skills and become heroines like her.
She used every possible method to train them, whether it was martial arts training or military tactics instruction, and she never slacked off. But no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she hoped, she found that her sisters never achieved the results she wanted.
He bit his lip and continued, "Later, she accidentally discovered that I had inherited her genes and had a great talent for battlefield matters.
I can quickly grasp the essence of military tactics and demonstrate extraordinary comprehension during martial arts training. But so what? In Mingxi Country, women are respected. No man has ever held a high position, nor is a man allowed to dominate a woman.
Xiaofan closed his eyes in pain, "So my mother has very complicated feelings towards me. She is pleased and proud of my talent, but she is also angry and helpless about these unchangeable secular rules.
She often took me to practice martial arts and taught me every move step by step
He also often discussed the battlefield with me and analyzed the situation.
But she would also sigh alone late at night, and when she was drunk, she would hold my shoulders tightly and ask me why I was not a woman.
At that time, her eyes were filled with despair and pain, which made me feel extremely distressed and helpless."
At this time, Xiao Fan was completely immersed in the pain of memories, his voice choked and his body trembled slightly, as if the burden of the past was about to crush him.
