Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine
Chapter 98 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (3)
Zhou Ying originally conceived the idea of substituting Xia Mingwei for Xia Wei because of their resemblance. Now that her daughter has made a great contribution, she wants Xia Wei to take the place.
This time, Xia Mingwei's army not only recovered the territory that had long been occupied by barbarians, but also drove the barbarians more than a hundred miles away. The barbarians were terrified and voluntarily submitted. They expressed their willingness to sign a peace and friendship treaty, pay tribute to the Great Zhou every year, and henceforth acknowledge the Great Zhou as their superior.
The occupation of their territory by barbarians was a great humiliation for the Great Zhou Kingdom. Several emperors of the Great Zhou Kingdom wanted to recover this lost territory. After all, who wouldn't want to be remembered in history and become a great emperor for all time? They just lacked the strength, which is why the barbarians continued to ride roughshod over them.
General Xia's successful recapture of the territory adds a significant chapter to the current emperor's record. For the emperor, this is a major achievement! Naturally, the emperor will bestow honors and rewards upon such a meritorious official!
Sure enough, just a few days after their return, the emperor decided to hold a grand banquet in the Imperial Garden to reward the meritorious soldiers.
The original owner of this body had already returned to the Xia family mansion. Zhou Ying felt that the Xia family's future glory would still depend on Xia Wei, so it would be better to attribute the credit to him starting today. Besides, if it were discovered that the original owner had impersonated Xia Wei to enter the military camp, it would be a serious crime.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that switching identities again was the best thing ever! She didn't feel there was anything unfair about doing it this way; on the contrary, it would put the two children's lives back on track.
Having made up her mind, Zhou Ying acted without hesitation and targeted Xia Mingwei.
Although Xia Mingwei had some reservations about her mother Zhou Ying's decision to have her brother and sister switch identities, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it since Zhou Ying was still her biological mother. Therefore, she wasn't wary of the tonic Zhou Ying sent her.
After drinking it down, she fainted. When she woke up again, her brother Xia Wei had become the famous "Marquis of Zhenbei," and she had become the legendary, frail and sickly "Eldest Miss Xia."
If it were merely a change of identity, she might not harbor such resentment. But the disgusting things Zhou Ying and the original owner's brother, Xia Wei, did went far beyond that.
It turns out that the bowl of tonic that Zhou Ying brought to Xia Mingwei contained not only sleeping pills, but also other things.
When Zhou Ying initially decided to drug her, she wasn't so calculating. It was Xia Wei who thought that Xia Mingwei would cause trouble after waking up because of her changed identity. So, he decided to go all in and give Xia Mingwei a strong drug.
This potent medicine was something Xia Wei had obtained with great difficulty from elsewhere. The person who sold it to him repeatedly warned him to be extremely careful when taking it. Once ingested, he would lose all his martial arts abilities, and there would be no cure.
Xia Wei didn't tell Zhou Ying when he administered the drug. He feared that her womanly compassion and so-called maternal love would ultimately ruin his plans!
In fact, Xia Wei was completely overthinking this. Back then, when faced with the choice of who would go to the battlefield and who was more likely to lose their life, Zhou Ying chose Xia Wei without hesitation. If she could do it all over again, she would still choose Xia Wei without hesitation and abandon Xia Mingwei.
She felt her husband was dead, and from then on, her only support was her son, Xia Wei. Therefore, when faced with the choice between Xia Wei and Xia Mingwei, Zhou Ying's heart would always be with Xia Wei! Ultimately, the one who would be abandoned could only be Xia Mingwei!
If she knew what her son was thinking, she would also side with Xia Wei and support his decision. After all, her daughter had gone to the battlefield, and who knows, she might reveal this secret one day. It's only natural for her son to want to eliminate any future trouble to silence his daughter and prevent this secret from being discovered!
After my daughter drinks this medicine, once she loses all her martial arts skills, she will become an ordinary young lady, utterly unremarkable. She claims to be the "General Xia," who once defended against foreign invasion—how many people would believe her? If word got out, everyone would probably say she's gone mad!
As for whether her son knew martial arts, she wasn't worried at all. She could just find someone to put on a show!
And so, under the arrangement of these two heartless people, Xia Mingwei finally drank the bowl of medicine that had drained all her internal energy.
When she woke up, everything was already set in stone. She wanted to change it all, but she didn't know how! Xia Shengtin had only told her how to fight on the battlefield, but not how to protect herself from these so-called relatives!
After some time, she discovered an even more shocking fact. Overnight, she not only lost all her internal energy, but her strength also diminished considerably. Many things that ordinary people could do, she could no longer accomplish on her own!
Seeing her so vulnerable, Xia Wei smiled with satisfaction. Only in this way could his secret be preserved forever!
Shortly after receiving the emperor's reward, Xia Wei conspired with an outsider to stage a play in front of everyone.
General Xia, a veteran of countless battles, had been unconscious in his residence for several days! After examination by the physician, it was determined to be a lingering ailment from the battlefield. To save his life, he could only rest and recuperate in the days to come!
Upon learning the news, the emperor felt both relieved and saddened. He was relieved that the weakening of the military generals would make his throne more secure. He was saddened that the loss of such a great general so soon after the reconquest of the borderlands was such a pity!
However, he couldn't reveal his true intentions to others, so as not to be able to guess the emperor's thoughts. At the same time, in order to appease the soldiers on the frontier, the emperor sent tonics to the Xia residence in an endless stream, as if they were free.
Seeing how concerned the emperor was about his injuries, Xia Wei felt he had made the right move! This maneuver not only successfully aroused the emperor's guilt but also provided an excuse for his future decline in martial arts skills.
Xia Mingwei watched all this unfold, completely powerless to stop him. She could only watch helplessly as Xia Wei used the honors he had earned to bully others!
Meanwhile, Xia Mingwei was under strict surveillance by the servants. Xia Wei had ordered her not to step outside the door!
Fortunately, they didn't cut off Xia Mingwei's food supply, and they tried their best to meet her needs in terms of expenses. Even so, thinking about everything that had happened to her, Xia Mingwei could only resent the injustice of fate! Her heart continued to be gnawed at every day, and in this way, she endured a difficult year!
Xia Mingwei never imagined that such days were not the worst they could hope for; even worse days awaited her!
