Yu Li knew that they were not her real parents but the pain of losing her parents along with the remnants of previous memories was troubling her.
She believed that she could handle any situation with a cool mind and smiling face even if there was something different in her mind and heart at that moment. It didn't matter as she never liked to show her feelings to others.
Her pain, thoughts, and emotions were just hers; she has never given anyone the chance to invade her boundaries yet a dead girl's feelings were disturbing her strong heart.
From her memories, Yu Li knew that the king and the queen loved her and has never discriminated against her because of two more children in the family.
King of Jing Nuo was loyal and respected his wife, Queen and Sect leader Shen so he has never taken in any concubine in his life albeit it was short but she could see he was sincere towards her mother.
Now that she has taken their daughter's place she was feeling the love for them and pain on their death.
Yu Li could see many dead bodies and screams of people who were burned alive in the town even if she was near the perimeters of the Jing Nuo Kingdom.
The massacre was planned by her mother's senior sister who was not satisfied with her position and wanted to take her husband as well as her position in the sect.
She was a greedy woman despite being a healer. Shen Guo Valley taught honesty and goodness to its students. There were hardly any people like Shen Min'er, the senior sister who was insatiable and could do anything for her own benefits.
It was the main reason for all the chaos that took place in the Imperial Palace, a few hours ago. She was targeted by their group because of the position of the Crown Prince of Jing Nuo, the next heir that could lead them to the mysterious treasure, a key to their voracious desire.
They had given this slaughter a righteous name by putting the blame on her mother for marrying out of the sect without permission.
They condemned her love as a conspiracy to gain the treasure by not allowing the king to marry another woman and monopolize the treasure for herself.
The old eunuch was her father's loyal servant who looked after her and was tasked by her father to safely take her out of the kingdom.
Jing Nuo was present at the border between the eastern and western continents. It was technically located in the western continent near the Stormy Abyss which was the actual border separating the continent. The northern and southern part was filled with water– ocean, and sea and was the territory of demons, in simple words animals who can turn into humans.
Shen Guo valley was in the eastern continent and was one of the top ten sects of the entire continent despite being filled with honest and naive woman who only knew how to practice medicine. The other good quality of them was there Supreme martial arts as compared to other sects. The women of Shen Guo Valley were both versed in medicine and fighting with honest characters.
Shen Min'er was the only exception in the valley if her mother is exempted from the overall situation.
Many people died just to save a fake Crown Prince who was technically a woman. Her mother lied to everyone to secure her marriage and Yu Li who was just six years old hated her for this. She had seen her two elder sisters getting love and recognition from the kingdom as well as the sect of the eastern continent that didn't like royalty.
Yu Li thought her mother hated her for doing all this to her but Shen Hui Lin was just trying to protect her family from separation by making her behave like a boy.
"I can see footsteps going this way, let's see whether the crown prince is hiding there or not."
Yu Li heard their grumble and quickly hid under the pit behind the old eunuch's body that caused him to fall down.
Her small body easily entered inside the pit and she pulled the old man's body to cover her head.
She asked his forgiveness as she did this to his dead body.
It was her ridiculous judgment to stay here and consume her time in interpreting the new memory. She should have run far away so as to not waste the sacrifice of so many people.
"You were right. Look! There is someone lying on the ground."
"Yeah! Isn't he the one who took the prince away? Why is he lying there? Go and check him. I will search for the whereabouts of the prince. We will achieve great merit for capturing the prince."
"You are right. We should focus on capturing the little prince. I heard that the king gave the treasure to the Coward Prince."
The other guard gasped at the new information meanwhile Yu Li controlled her breathing to avoid these losers who were wasting their time on stupid talks.
She was fortunate that these people were the only ones who came in this path otherwise she would be truly in danger.
Yu Li contemplated her next plan of action, should she go and meet with this body's sister or go somewhere else?
The guards said the treasure which brought a disaster on Jing Nuo kingdom and the imperial family was with her, the crown prince.
What was this situation now?
Firstly, she suffered from the heartache and secondly, she was becoming a living breathing target for all these greedy cultivators.
Yu Li scowled at her luck. People transmigrate and get golden thighs, a bunch of evil siblings and a herd of stepmoms but she was running for her life just after coming in this dangerous world.
The only adult beside her was dead and she was currently in the body of a six-year-old girl who was extremely weak by any standards.
She had never done any physical training but as an average human, she was aware that this body that she was in was not good to fight these loons.
She has to carefully move forward without alerting the enemy. Yu Li patiently waited for those two morons to go away before she checked her body for more information.
Before running away with the old eunuch the Crown Prince Ye Yu Li received a ring from her father, King Ye Yun Tao and had not seen what was inside it until now because of all the chaos. She even fainted after watching those mad cultivators burning the palace guards without caring about anyone other than them.
Yu Li was not frail herself but she was disgusted by the practice of these cultivators that did wrong in the name of righteousness.
The western continent was not that powerful because of the low presence of large sects and cultivation schools, this region was mostly ruled by various royal families and hence the character of these cultivators on this continent was not that clean as people believed after hearing the heroic tales of their bravery.
This was the reason that her mother's senior sister, Shen Min'er was able to influence those cultivators to work on her side and eliminate the thorn in her eyes without wasting much power.
Her mother was not the only one from the Shen Guo Valley who fell in love with her father's charm but it was Shen Min'er's bad luck that King Ye Yun Tao was never impressed with her. He had politely declined her marriage proposal by saying that the Imperial family and Shen Guo Valley's disciple can't be connected through matrimony as it was against the rules of the medical valley and he didn't want to break it.
After hearing this kind of explanation Shen Min'er unwillingly accepted his words but just after a year later she got the news that the man who had rejected her by using the rules of her sect had married the new leader of the sect without bothering about anything.
She was angry. She hated the fact that Shen Hui Lin got everything that easily without doing anything but she had to fight for everything but never got anything.
So, she used the fact that the queen had not given an heir to the Jing Nuo kingdom and was only capable of birthing daughters. She spread this rumor and forced her mother to separate from her father but then Ye Yu Li was born and Shen Hui Lin who was still not in her right mind decided to present her third daughter as a son. She didn't even tell her husband about this facade that's why king Ye Yun Tao declared her as the crown prince on her first birthday.
Shen Hui Lin wanted to tell her husband about the true gender of their baby but she got the news about Shen Min'er's plan and had to suppress the secret once again as she heard that her senior sister was gathering people to get the treasure which was meant to be protected by the imperial family of Jing Nuo – the Ye family which was eight thousand years old and has been looking after it since then.
Nobody knew what was the treasure, how it looked like and where to find it but they all knew that it was something that could grant one's wishes and the only one who could find its position was none other than the heir of Ye family who had dragon patterns on his back on the night of the full moon.
Yu Li was born in winter as if the night of full moon was welcoming her to bathe in its glory and coincidentally she projected those dragon patterns on her body that caused Yu Li to become the crown prince of Jing Nuo.
Somehow this news dispersed outside and it resulted in the death of nearly thousands of innocent inhabitants who were trying to protect the palace and the king.
