In the Palace of Ganquan of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"That's roughly what happened. That's all I heard outside the throne room in the morning."
A eunuch knelt on the ground and reported to the two women in luxurious attire in front of him.
If Xia Wanan was here, she would recognize that the eunuch was Wei Zhongxian, who she had interacted with in the morning.
She was no stranger to the two women in front of Wei Zhongxian. The mature woman was named Jia Nanfeng, the empress of the Xia Kingdom. Back then, after Xia Wanan's mother, Su Feng, was deposed, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty appointed another empress.
As for the other young girl, she was Jia Nanfeng's biological daughter, Xia Qi.
"It seems that Xia Wanan is not as simple as she seems."
Jia Nanfeng said, her narrow eyes squinting dangerously.
Last night, she had sent two weak crown realm assassins to assassinate Xia Wanan. Now, the two assassins had disappeared without a trace, but Xia Wanan was completely unharmed. This could explain part of the problem.
"Mother, you can't let father betroth Xia Wanan to someone else!" Xia Qi said anxiously.
"Crown Prince Zhou Qian is an elite. How can Xia Wanan be worthy of marrying Crown Prince Zhou Qian? I should be the one marrying him! "
Jia Nanfeng sighed. "There are great benefits to marrying Zhou Qian. Of course, I want you to replace her. However, Zhou Qian only wants Xia Wanan because of Su Changchun. He won't marry anyone else but her. He's even willing to give her an Earth Level cultivation technique as a betrothal gift. Even your father can't refuse this condition."
Xia Qi was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She hated Xia Wanan, who was in her way.
"I don't care! Even I can't marry Crown Prince Zhou Qian. Xia Wanan, who was born a b * tch, can't marry him either! "
"Mother, continue to send assassins to kill Xia Wanan tonight. Once she dies, Crown Prince Zhou Qian will have no choice. If he wants to marry Xia Dynasty again, he can only marry me!"
Xia Qi looked up and pleaded with Jia Nanfeng. It was obvious that she really wanted to marry Zhou Qian.
"Don't worry."
Jia Nanfeng comforted her.
"Xia Wanan and Zhou Qian's wedding date is a month later. She definitely won't live that long. If there's a princess of Xia Dynasty to marry him, it must be you."
There was something that Jia Nanfeng didn't say.
As the current Empress of the Xia Dynasty, she would never allow the daughter of the previous Empress to marry into another dynasty.
…
…
[Detected that the player is currently in the Great Xia Dynasty's Hidden Scriptures Pavilion. Do you wish to Sign-In here?]
In the Sutra Pavilion, a row of light screens popped up in front of Xia Wanan. She calmly chose [Yes].
[Signed in at the Scripture Pavilion successfully. Player is rewarded with one Great Recovery Pill.]
[Remarks: Consuming a Great Recovery Pill can increase one's cultivation by 60 years.]
A pill appeared in his inventory.
As usual, Xia Wanan stayed in the corner and quietly flipped through the sword manual. She did not show any abnormality and did not leave until the evening came.
The imperial consecrator guarding the Sutra Depository looked at her back with eyes full of pity.
Xia Wanan was the most hardworking child of the royal family he had ever seen. The other children of the royal family were either addicted to wine or music every day. Only Xia Wanan came to the Sutra Depository every day to study cultivation methods regardless of rain or shine. Her efforts were all seen by the imperial consecrator.
"It's a pity that you have a tenacious mind, but your cultivation aptitude is so poor that you still can't break through to the Weak Crown Realm. Otherwise, this old man would have accepted you as a disciple."
The imperial consecrator sighed in his heart, feeling sorry for Xia Wanan.
…
Xia Wanan naturally didn't know what the imperial consecrator was thinking. She was preparing to return to Changmen Palace at this time.
After returning from the Throne Hall in the morning, she went to all the places she could go. The Sutra Depository was the last place to sign in. During this period, she gained a lot.
However, there was one place that Xia Wanan felt was not very appropriate. Because she had switched to cultivating the Great Dao of Heaven Evolution Scripture, her cultivation system was already very different from other cultivators. As a result, the division of other cultivators' realms could not be applied to her. She could only define her own cultivation realm based on the strength of her spiritual power.
"If the assassin last night was really sent by Jia Nanfeng, she will not give up until she gets rid of me. Compared to the wedding in a month's time, she is my biggest threat in the short term."
Xia Wanan thought silently. She had the idea of getting rid of Jia Nanfeng first.
She had some information about Jia Nanfeng. Jia Nanfeng was the daughter of the head of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, Beihai Sect. Because of her, many disciples of the Beihai Sect were able to enter the imperial court. Because of this, she also had a large number of cultivators under her command. However, her own cultivation was not high. She was only in the Neutral Realm. Perhaps she could deal with her alone now.
Returning to Changmen Palace, Xia Wanan saw a group of carriages waiting outside the palace gate from a distance. The three eunuchs from the morning were also standing in the convoy.
"Greetings, Fourth Princess!"
Everyone respectfully saluted Xia Wanan, not daring to neglect her.
"What are you doing?"
Xia Wanan asked.
Eunuch Liu replied, "We servants are here to escort the Fourth Princess to the Imperial Mausoleum under His Majesty's orders."
Xia Wanan frowned.
Eunuch Liu explained, "Fourth Princess, you may not know this, but before every princess gets married, she has to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for a month. This rule has been continued since the founding of the country."
Xia Wanan frowned even more. No one had told her about this rule before. She didn't know, and this wasn't a good thing for her.
Once out of the palace, Jia Nanfeng could deal with her more unscrupulously, and it would be difficult for her to threaten Jia Nanfeng. Most importantly, there weren't as many places to sign in outside the palace.
"Okay, I'll go with you after I pack up my clothes."
In the end, Xia Wanan agreed.
She had no choice now.
Then, surrounded by a group of guards, Xia Wanan took her clothes and got into the carriage, heading toward the exit of the palace.
She didn't expect that her first time out of the palace would be in such a form.
[Detected that the player's current location is the Hidden Dragon Well of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you want to sign in here?]
[Successful sign-in at the Hidden Dragon Well. Player is rewarded with the Earth Level Martial Skill, Azure Dragon Cloud Swimming Steps.]
…
[Successful sign-in at the East Palace. Player is rewarded with the Breath Holding Technique.]
[Successful sign-in at the Meridian Gate. Player is rewarded with 40 years of cultivation.]
[Successful sign-in at Huaiyang Street. Player is rewarded with 20 years of cultivation.]
…
Xia Wanan didn't walk in vain all the way in the carriage. She would sign in at every place she passed, and her cultivation increased at an unprecedented speed. In just two hours, she had at least increased her cultivation by a hundred years and obtained more than ten kinds of pills and cultivation techniques.
Two hours later, the carriage finally arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum and slowly stopped.
[Detected that the player's current location is the Imperial Mausoleum of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you want to sign in here?]
[Successful sign-in at the Imperial Mausoleum. Player is rewarded with the Ancient Godly Emperor Immortal Body.]
[Note: This is the physique of the Godly Emperor. When developed to the large success stage, the body can become a saint and fight through the heavens!]
Xia Wanan suddenly felt that she might not need a month.
