Chapter 1797 Water Dragon's Chant 1
Jiang Xinxin was born with a good background. Her parents granted her the title of princess at birth. However, the world was not peaceful. The emperor committed many sins. For his selfish desire for immortality, he joined forces with a sorcerer named Yi Que Yin Yang, causing widespread suffering. Jiang Xinxin, who originally had a relatively good life, was also implicated. The old emperor was actually bewitched by Yi Que Yin Yang and planned to use her to make elixirs!
Would Jiang Xinxin's parents be willing to give up their beloved child? So the news that the emperor wanted to use living people to refine the elixir of immortality quickly spread throughout the world. The Wan Yu clan, the imperial advisor who had already been ostracized by Yi Que Yin Yang, was ultimately exiled to foreign lands on the charge of disloyalty to the emperor after the successive killings of their direct descendants.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xinxin, a child not yet three years old, was also targeted and left to wander outside during the journey of being exiled with her parents.
With the successive falls of important officials in the court and ambitious people among the common people, the Jiang family's kingdom was already teetering on the brink of collapse. If it weren't for the fact that its territory had already reached its limit and there were no powerful enemies around, it would probably have been destroyed in an instant.
Two years later, when Jiang Xinxin's biological parents entered the palace and appointed their eldest daughter, Jiang Xinxin, as the ruler of Langya and made Langya County their real fiefdom, it was all in vain. This was because if Jiang Xinxin hadn't awakened her innate wisdom in the womb after being deliberately taken away from her parents, she would probably have perished at the bottom of the cliff long ago.
This cliff is unlike the one in Kunlun Mountain where Zhang Wuji fell, where it was spring all year round. Rather, it is a cave covering an area of five or six acres. Because of the high mountains all around, the bottom of the pit is only exposed to sunlight for a short time at noon. Even though life is always tenacious, a few trees that I don’t know grow on the cliff face, but the fruit is very scarce and cannot sustain a person.
Moreover, Jiang Xinxin was too young when she was murdered. If she hadn't had some kind of special ability, she probably would have just died.
Even though she had a cheat code, awakened her innate wisdom early on, and the spiritual energy of this place was quite abundant, it still took her almost ten years to successfully establish her foundation before she flew up from the bottom of the cliff.
Jiang Xinxin made no attempt to hide her name, as she used it quite often. When the imperial edict conferred upon her the title of Princess Langya, it wouldn't have deliberately included her name, since she had previously been a concubine of the late emperor, the Princess Anle, and possessed her own official seal. Furthermore, those familiar with her wouldn't immediately connect her, Jiang Xinxin, with the title of Princess Langya, Jiang Xinxin.
So, Jiang Xinxin happily drifted through the martial world until six years later when a terrifying Nine Hearts Pill suddenly appeared. She had only caught a glimpse of it and thought it was similar to the Art of Medicine Man, which was to refine a person's body into something invulnerable to swords and spears while separating the body from the soul, a method of controlling people.
But after her careful investigation, she found that this thing was far more dangerous than the Medicine Man Technique. While there was still a chance to recover from the Medicine Man Technique, the Nine Hearts of the Ape Demon Pill was addictive. Once you came into contact with it, you could not stop. Most importantly, it did give people strength at first and made their martial arts skills improve rapidly. So even if some people regretted it before their minds were extinguished, they still lost the chance to recover.
Because the poison of this Nine Hearts Pill of the Ape Demon is so potent that it can truly annihilate one's mind, turning one into a puppet that can be completely controlled by others.
Most importantly, this thing is the calamity left behind by the Yin-Yang divination from back then!
While investigating, Jiang Xinxin tried to concoct an antidote, but once this poison entered the body, it began to directly reshape the muscles and bones, and even the meridians. So while the toxins still had a chance to be cleared, the damaged and reshaped muscles, bones and meridians were really difficult to recover.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xinxin is not confident that she can guarantee that the treasure she possesses will not be coveted by those with ulterior motives. She can only ignore the huge side effects of the Nine Hearts of the Ghost Pill. In any case, she is already extremely lucky to have survived. What more could she ask for?
However, Jiang Xinxin's actions still attracted the attention and malice of various forces. Unfortunately, this is a world of high martial arts, and there are many ways to find people. Heaven is unwilling to help directly, and she cannot use many of her treasures, so she can only work hard to run around.
Because of Jiang Xinxin's outstanding medical skills and because she always carried the Three Poisons sword, she earned the title of "Master of Three Poisons" in the martial arts world.
Her fame spread, and naturally the emperor and empress in the palace took notice of her. So, as soon as she entered the capital, she was invited to the palace.
Even though Jiang Xinxin's appearance was becoming more and more like her own soul, her flesh and blood body still had some blood ties from the emperor and empress, which could not be completely eliminated. The moment Empress Tang saw Jiang Xinxin, she recognized that this master of the three poisons must be her poor daughter who had been lost during her exile!
Empress Tang burst into tears and embraced Jiang Xinxin tightly, crying, "My child, my Xinxin!"
The emperor was also wiping away tears. At this moment, Jiang Xinxin no longer resisted acknowledging her status as a princess. She called out "father" and "mother" and took out the seal she had used when she was conferred the title of Princess Anle. This dispelled the emperor's last doubts.
However, after calming down, she still had to ask the questions she needed to ask. Empress Tang had no other thoughts than to know whether her only child had suffered.
Jiang Xinxin had already fabricated everything, directly using Zhang Wuji's story: "I didn't suffer much. Although being thrown off a cliff was indeed dangerous, it saved my life and gave me a wonderful encounter. My martial arts and medical skills all came from this."
The Emperor and Empress Tang had very mixed feelings; they were both heartbroken by Jiang Xinxin's plight and delighted by her extraordinary encounter. The Emperor, however, had more on his mind. After all, Princess Langya herself had returned, and now that she had a fiefdom, she needed to take up her post. Moreover, Jiang Xinxin was indeed getting on in years, and her marriage needed to be arranged as soon as possible…
Empress Tang didn't care about any of that. She only had one child, Jiang Xinxin. The emperor had many princes and princesses, but they were all born after he became emperor. They were raised and educated in luxury. Only her daughter, who should have been a favored daughter of heaven, had a tragic fate due to the late emperor's misdeeds. She was truly pitiful.
So after coaxing Jiang Xinxin to sleep, Empress Tang immediately went to see the Emperor.
The emperor was still awake. When he saw Empress Tang come over, he immediately showed her the imperial edict he had just written, saying, "The empress is here. Take a look at this."
Empress Tang hurriedly took the imperial edict and saw that it was an edict to confer the title of Princess on Jiang Xinxin. Most importantly, it mentioned that Jiang Xinxin was granted the right to choose her own marriage partner, and the matter of the Princess's residence was no longer important.
Empress Tang was deeply moved, and the couple felt a rare moment of warmth between them.
