As the most wild youth in the village, she had intended to make a new achievement. However, an imperial edict forced Ruan Lili to be sent to the demon cave in hell to continue the blood lineage of the powerful and powerful king of Xie Zheng and give birth to an heir. Everyone in the court knew that the Ninth Miss of the Ruan family grew up in the countryside. She was weak and weak. She was stupid and had no growth at all. She might have died before she was born! Ruan Lili, who refused to give birth to the ball, said, "Life is like a play, completely relying on acting skills." "Your Highness... Oh no! Ninth Miss was poisoned again!" "Your Highness! Oh no!! Ninth Miss accidentally fell off her horse and broke one of her legs!" "Your Highness! Bad news!!! The Ninth Miss is pregnant. She said that the child is not yours. She has run away!" The monarch could no longer sit still. That night, Ruan Lili was pinned down on the throne. "Life or death?!" Ruan Li Li nodded frantically. "Life! Life!" After giving birth to one child after another, Ruan Li Li's heart exploded. Didn't they agree that there would only be one child?!
In the southwest corner of Dian City, there were all kinds of carriages and guards on the narrow and slender streets of the village. The originally remote and cold village was instantly surrounded.
The villagers who were surrounding the yard were holding onto an iron shovel, a hoe in their hands, and stretching their necks to look inside with the child in their arms.
The brocade in the carriage dazzled the villagers' eyes. Any of the accessories was enough for a family to accumulate for a few years.
The villagers gathered together and did not dare to make a sound.
An old woman, leaning on a walking stick, pointed at the door and said cautiously, "Isn't this Li Li's courtyard? What kind of family did she offend?"
"Is it that bully at the head of the village who came to the capital city to make a fortune and then came back to take Lily as a concubine?"
"He's coming to rob me again. Is he floating, or is it my old man who can't lift the knife?" The gray-haired old man was holding an iron shovel, his eyes wide open as he blew on his beard.
"Then what is there to be scared of? I'll beat them back one by one!" The robust youth carried a hoe and straightened his back.
"That's right, that's right!" The crowd replied in unison.
The guard in an armor and cloak straightened his face and opened the scabbard in his hand at the door.
The long sword in his hand revealed a sharp blade, which was cold and gloomy!
The simple villagers, who had never seen such a scene, suddenly fell silent. They were so scared that they took a step back and the child in the woman's arms burst into tears!
Through the courtyard wall and the gate, a little maid stood in the courtyard. "What's wrong with our Miss? Why did she break off the engagement?"
"Pa!"
"Ah!" Xiao Yao was slapped heavily and fell to the ground. Her body fell on the steps, and there was a strong smell of blood in her mouth, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
The loud and clear applause echoed in the yard, which was neither too big nor too small.
"You nasty slave! Your master hasn't spoken yet. How dare you!" The man wearing a high hat raised his sharp voice and glared at the little girl on the ground.
Inside the closed door, the girl was dressed in plain white gauze. Her clothes were plain and plain. She looked like a girl from an ordinary family. She did not look like a noble lady from the Lord Protector's Manor at all.
The girl's delicate and white cheeks were like a blooming flower hidden under a veil. Her almond-shaped eyes were wet with the smell of illness, and the tail of her eyes was filled with the aura of a naughty rogue that made people's hearts flutter, as well as the faintly discernible gentleness and evil spirit.
Ruan Lili sat in front of the table, her fingers lightly clutching the cup in her hand. She slowly poured a cup of tea.
Eunuch Li's sharp voice came from outside again.
"Ninth Miss, don't be too sad. In addition to breaking off the engagement, I also brought an imperial edict to appease you. It's your honor to have a child for the Ghost Lord and become a slave in the mansion." Eunuch Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at the closed door, feeling a little scared.
Everyone knew that the Ninth Miss of the Ruan family was General Ruan's illegitimate daughter. She was raised in the countryside all year round and had a status that couldn't be seen. Her status was not even comparable to that of a general's servant. They didn't even know what kind of person she was.
Everyone in the imperial city knew that the ghost hall master was the current monarch of the emperor. Now, the villagers in the remote must not be able to hear it. They thought that it was some powerful man who took a fancy to this girl.
When Xiao Yao, who had fallen to the ground, heard his words, her face turned pale instantly, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. The master of the Ghost Hall was suffering from a strange disease and was bloodthirsty and violent. He specifically attacked young women, so he had no sense of propriety.
It was said that the man had already killed more than a dozen women. In the Grand Xia Dynasty, the emperor was stupid and ignorant, and the emperor of the Palace of Ghosts was extremely powerful. He threatened the emperor to command the feudal princes, and he had the power of evil spirits. No one dared to control him.
"No, I can't." Xiao Yao seemed to be frightened. She reached out and grabbed Eunuch Li's trousers. "Please be lenient..."
