The grand Zun Tian Xian Dynasty palace, a peak-level force in the realm, with the presence of a semi-divine being, unexpectedly experienced a scandal where the princess was chased by assassins, escaped the palace, and was picked up by passers-by in the early morning.
It must be said that it is indeed a bit magical.
But such a magical thing did indeed happen.
The Zun Tian Xian Emperor seems to have made up his mind to play a game of nurturing insects, not interfering at all in the competition among his children, and even allowing them to break some principles as long as they do not touch his bottom line.
As mentioned before, at his level, he doesn't value kinship, especially the kinship between his children, as much anymore.
Some cultivators deliberately maintain the dominance of human nature during their cultivation.
Others only like power and pursue divinity.
The Zun Tian Xian Emperor is such a person.
Today is the third day of sheltering this princess.
Li Sidao, who has been involved in a big trouble due to a moment of kindness, has been indecisive between saving people to the end and staying out of trouble.
Especially after finding that the character of this princess is somewhat similar to her own, the idea of protecting oneself has become more and more faint.
The Chosen Maiden, right? The protagonist template she holds is like this, always revealing her kind-hearted side at certain times, getting involved in some troubles, gaining some friendships after solving the troubles, and then gaining some opportunities.
If Su Huai were here, he could easily judge that this Li Yunyi is the opportunity for Li Sidao to get involved in the Zun Tian Xian Dynasty, or even to control the dynasty in the future, and it is not impossible to become the Zun Tian Female Emperor in the future?
Li Sidao stood at the door with a healing pill for a while, sighed, and still reached out to push open the door that leads to the room and also leads to the court of the dynasty.
"Get up and eat something."
She took out a food box from the storage ring and took out a bowl of white porridge.
The woman leaning against the head of the bed moved her fingers, and a trace of gratitude flashed in her cold eyes.
Li Sidao helped her sit up and set up a small table.
"I don't know what you want to eat, but generally, when ordinary beings are injured, they can only eat some light food, so..."
"Thank you."
The woman looked at the white porcelain bowl, the porridge in the bowl was very thick, without any vegetables, it was pure rice porridge.
She took the bowl of porridge and stared at it for a while.
Li Sidao frowned slightly: "Are you... worried that I poisoned it?"
"No, I don't have that thought, and I don't think you would harm me."
"I just..."
Li Yunyi sighed.
"I just haven't smelled the taste of food for more than six thousand three hundred years."
"???"
Seems to see Li Sidao's doubt, Li Yunyi continued to explain:
"I didn't lie to you."
"Our father is very strict with us, or rather, very strict with all the royal children. He believes that too much humanity will only give birth to desires."
"So when we were very young, our father began to weaken our emotional needs and cultivate us towards the side of 'god' in every sense.
To be honest, I, including my several brothers and younger brothers, even don't know who our biological mother is..."
"Everyone is born and sent to a specific place for separate training. Before reaching the requirements of our father, except for being able to regularly consult the Grand Master about cultivation issues through letters, they almost cannot contact any outsiders."
"The maids responsible for taking care of our daily life will also be replaced regularly, and they may be secretly dealt with after being replaced..."
Li Sidao frowned tightly.
But Li Yunyi smiled helplessly.
"Is it very cruel, right?"
"In fact, for my several royal brothers, there are even more cruel things."
"After they were born, our father arranged for an infant girl of the same age to grow up with them, which is truly a childhood sweetheart.
As their bodies gradually mature, they will naturally produce affection in the case of not being able to contact the outside world, and even taste the forbidden fruit and bear children...
And when it comes to that step, our father will ask the brothers to kill their childhood sweethearts with their own hands.
In order to achieve the purpose of cutting off the emotional silk."
Li Sidao was greatly shocked: "No one... tried to resist?"
"Resist? Yes! Of course, there is!"
"But resistance is useless."
"There were several royal children who were in love and resisted, but those women who were with them were forced to drink poisoned wine and died in front of them.
And in a few days, our father would arrange for new women of the right age to take care of those people and comfort them, one year, two years, three years... Over time, the princes who have never experienced the dangers of society will be moved by the comfort and gentleness of the women and fall into a new relationship.
When it's almost time, the woman who has a relationship will be taken out of the palace, and then our father will send more excellent men to pursue them.
These women are different from the childhood sweethearts who grew up together, they are very clear that they are arranged to be substitutes, they don't have much contact with the royal children, and they don't have much feeling, and they can't accept some shortcomings of the royal children from the bottom of their hearts.
When our father promised to let them be free and to be pursued by a more perfect object, they couldn't resist a round of sugar-coated shells.
After they fell, our father would arrange for the secret guards to take them out of the palace secretly and let them witness the second woman who had a relationship with other men intimately.
To achieve the purpose of attacking the heart."
"Zun Tian Xian Emperor... His Majesty is a bit too cruel."
Hearing Li Sidao's evaluation of his own father, Li Yunyi pursed her lips.
"The ruler is not trapped by personal feelings, focuses on cultivation, and can choose the most ideal method when governing the dynasty, almost making no mistakes. This is the secret of the long-term prosperity of the dynasty."
"Most of us women have the duty to marry for the dynasty, and the virgin body is more important, so we avoid this emotional tempering and retain a trace of emotional silk.
But in other aspects, there is no difference from the princes.
Including but not limited to the needs of family affection, fun, eating, companionship, hobbies, and other aspects, all will be gradually eroded.
From the start of cultivation, our food is fixed spiritual rice, melons, demon beast meat, etc.
At the sixth level, melons are removed.
At the eighth level, spiritual rice is removed.
When you ascend to the imperial realm, all food is canceled.
Only allowed to absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, and a fixed amount of cultivation resources."
"Mundane things, no longer touch a bit!"
"I have broken through the imperial realm for six thousand three hundred and seventy-four years. Because of some reasons, the princess has no opportunity to play outside the palace. When necessary, going out of the palace is also limited to within the walls of the imperial palace, naturally, there is no contact with these ordinary foods."
"So I have indeed not seen this ordinary white porridge for more than three thousand six hundred years."
Li Sidao was silent for a long time.
She also lowered her head and looked at the bowl of white porridge along Li Yunyi's line of sight.
"So... do you eat it?"
"Eat!" Li Yunyi brought the white porridge to her mouth and blew a breath of the heat on it.
"There is no place for me to stand within the palace walls. Why should I still abide by the rules of being a princess and be stubborn with myself?"
"How about we go out for a good meal later?"
"Good! Thank you."
"You are a good person."
"If you were a young master, Yunyi might have promised herself."
