Chapter 75 - The Real Culprit
Chapter 75 - The Real Culprit
While the ordinary members of the noble families, and the daughters and sons of the officials, did not dare to make things difficult for Bai Rouyun due to her identity as Prince Yun’s consort, there were still some who did not care.
Everyone knew that while Li Moyun was well-liked amongst the public, he was not so popular in the royal family. His mother was a social climber, and only cared about using him to gain fame, and his father hated him.
Even his brothers and sisters hated him, they were jealous of him and wished that they could get rid of him.
Since there were so many high ranked enemies, others would definitely also consider stepping into the murky waters. They could always push the blame onto his real enemies.
Not to mention, Bai Rouyun had personally insulted the Crown Prince and Princess Xing. They would definitely act against her, so others felt that they had the chance to benefit.
She was likely to have a lot of resources, treasures, and the like on her, given to her by Li Moyun. If they could get their hands on these treasures, their chance of winning was even higher.
Everyone was eager to get their hands on the Immemorial Chamomile, and they would use any trick to do so. Of course, while these youths were certain that they were cold blooded enough to kill Bai Rouyun, most of them had never been in life and death battles before. It was all their assumption.
As they arrived at the field where the partaking youths were to gather before leaving for the Royal Hunting Feast, Bai Rouyun saw that many were leaving their carriages and were sparring against one another, chatting and trading resources.
Some were chatting; others were just observing. It was a bustling sight to behold.
Bai Rouyun observed them all as she exited the carriage. She could sense that there were two kinds of gazes on her, one was jealousy and greed, the other was pity.
It was not everyone who was thinking of making her into a victim, but some felt that she was pitiful. She had just managed to get her wits back, and now she was going to be the target of so many youths. Was her life meant to be so sad?
If Bai Rouyun knew what they were thinking, she would scoff at them in disdain. She was already more than twenty years old mentally, and she had experienced one life and death crisis after another, these children could not harm her.
Even if she was unable to defeat them, she still had the Flowing Feather Step, which was a top-tiered movement technique that could allow her to flee.
Movement techniques were incredibly rare on this continent. In fact, while the continent was flourishing once, around a couple of thousand years ago, some things had happened to it that had cut it off from the surrounding world.
After it became isolated from the rest of the world, it was as if it became a backwater continent. Throughout the passing of time, the fundamental skills became worse and worse, the heaven and earth essence became more scarce, and the professions also became challenging as the original formulas, recipes, blueprints, and so on were slowly forgotten.
Only the top-ranked experts were capable of having movement techniques, so Bai Rouyun was not worried about coming across someone who could catch up with her in this Royal Hunting Feast.
This was also the reason she dared to be so unbridled. She had the capability to back her up so that she did not need to be scared of all the people who looked at her with hostility.
While everyone else was gathered in groups, Bai Rouyun was the only one who was all alone. She did, however, see some familiar faces.
Although she had lost the memories of the body, she was able to recognize the young ladies of the General’s Estate, and she could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. Should she perhaps get some revenge against these people now that they were heading into the forest?
She was even more confident that she would have the chance to fight them when she saw that the daughters and sons of General Bai all went to the Crown Prince’s side.
Something suddenly struck Bai Rouyun. The Bai family were faithful to the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
If Prince Yun lost his wife on the day of their wedding, it would likely end with him losing all his fame and becoming infamous instead.
The poison in her system was made by some of the ladies of the General’s Estate but was it not because they wanted to take over her position, but to ruin Li Moyun’s reputation?
Bai Rouyun’s eyes turned cold.
Since the Bai family were on such good terms with the Crown Prince, she should never have been married to Li Moyun, the only reason she was, was to make her the tool to ruin his reputation.
So much for never allowing them to kill their own flesh and blood. It seemed that Bai Rouyun had to investigate even in more detail about what happened the night she crossed over.
If it was indeed her father and grandfather who were behind the poisoning incident, Bai Rouyun would never let them off.
She had promised herself that she would make those who had caused the original soul’s death to pay for their sins. Although she was able to be reborn because of this body, she also understood that the original soul was a pitiful person, and she knew when to be grateful.
Since she had taken over her body, it was only right to get revenge as a repayment.
