The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Your Highness, please come in."

Along with this soft call, it was as if a thunder exploded in the house, followed by a low and rapid cough, like a muffled thunder in a storm, resounding throughout the room. Everyone was attracted by the sudden sound and turned their heads to look.

As far as the eye can see, a man in gorgeous clothes is slowly stepping into the room. Every step he takes seems to be carrying a heavy burden, and his steps seem unusually heavy; but his posture is still as straight as a pine tree, but there is a hint of weakness that makes people feel distressed.

The lips that should have been rosy, plump and full of vitality were now as pale as snowflakes in winter, without a trace of blood.

However, the most eye-catching thing is his eyes - just like a bottomless pool, the calm contains endless mystery and power. Deep in his eyes, there is a glimmer of determination and wisdom, like the bright stars in the night sky, which never go out.

Although the illness mercilessly tortured his body, making his face look haggard and sick, his eyes were still bright and full of vitality. It was obvious that after a battle with the disease, His Royal Highness had finally recovered completely.

Second Brother Xue, who was standing by, stared at the man in front of him with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief. He clearly remembered that not long ago, the skilled imperial physician had personally reported to him: His Royal Highness's pulse was chaotic and had reached an extremely dangerous level. His body was extremely weak and almost exhausted. I'm afraid there is no hope of survival! But now, His Royal Highness actually appeared in front of them miraculously. How could they not be shocked?

But at this moment, the prince was standing here! What on earth was going on? A series of questions came to his mind, and Xue Erge fell into deep confusion.

What is even more surprising is that the prince’s face used to be covered with hideous red spots, so ugly that people could not bear to look at it, but now when looking at it again, those terrible red spots have only left faint red marks, without damaging his handsome face at all.

Second Brother Xue involuntarily took a few steps back, thinking to himself: If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really mistakenly thought that all this was just an absurd dream.

"Second Brother Xue, are you surprised?" The prince's voice was as cold as ice, containing the majesty and contempt of a king, as well as a hint of imperceptible anger.

"Why... is this happening?" He murmured in a low voice, his face full of disbelief. "In today's capital, you can't find that kind of rare medicinal material at all. How could your illness be cured?"

These words are undoubtedly a disguised admission.

The prince's eyes moved slightly, a barely perceptible light flashed across them, and he immediately spoke: "This prince has always been blessed with great fortune and luck, and I am fortunate to have the help of a noble person. Not only is this prince safe, but even all the people in Kyoto who were affected by the plague are now safe."

Hearing this, Brother Xue was immediately horrified and cried out, "How...how can this be done?"

At this moment, the prince shouted loudly: "Come here, the second son of the Xue family has ulterior motives and is trying to harm this prince. Capture him immediately!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Qing'er turned around and tried to escape, but was easily captured by the Crown Prince's men.

"Your Highness, please have mercy! I am truly wronged. Although the Xue family raised me, I am not a direct descendant of the Xue family. Xue Jinhua is... If Your Highness wants to punish you, you should go find her. She is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Xue family. Please let me go."

Xue Qing'er now knew that the Xue family was on the verge of collapse, and the only thing she wanted was to make a clear break with the Xue family as soon as possible. However, her actions angered the second brother Xue.

"Qing'er, do you know what you mean?"

Second Brother Xue opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him with astonishment, as if he had never really known this woman whom he regarded as his own sister.

It was really hard for him to accept that his sister, who had treated him like her own daughter and cared for him for many years, would not only refuse to lend a helping hand at such a critical moment, but was eager to leave and even spoke ill of the Xue family in an attempt to completely sever ties with them.

"Second brother, as the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flees. What's more, we are not biological siblings. Although I have been fostered in the Xue family over the years, outsiders say that the Xue family has treated me well, but in fact, it is the Xue family that has restricted my freedom in every way. Since the death of the young master, I have wanted to leave Prince Zhuang's Mansion and start a new life. But you have obstructed me in every way. In the final analysis...all you care about is the reputation of the Xue family." Xue Qing'er's eyes were firm and her words were sharp, without any intention of backing down.

What's the point of being a princess if she can't live the life she dreams of? She was already tired of the endless, long and monotonous years of widowhood. Otherwise, how could she... be entangled with Zhao Yuxuan?

Is the woman in front of him still the gentle, docile, and pitiful sister he once was? Brother Xue couldn't help but fall into deep confusion.

Xue Erge's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he had heard the most incredible words in the world, and his body trembled involuntarily. He could never have imagined that the situation before him would develop into such a situation.

"Your Highness, I know all the secrets of the Xiao Xue family. I am willing to tell them all. I only ask that Your Highness can show mercy and spare my worthless life..." At this moment, Xue Qing'er had already been shrouded in fear and the desire to survive. She had only one thought in her mind - to stay alive.

"Someone come! Arrest all the members of the Xue family immediately. This prince wants to interrogate them personally!" Following the prince's order, the guards stepped forward and forcibly dragged the two trembling figures away.

Zhao Yuxuan seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed to the ground with a lifeless look in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..." He could not accept such a cruel reality no matter what.

"Madam Marquis, do you need my help?" The prince glanced coldly at Zhao Yuxuan who was slumped on the ground, his tone flat without a trace of emotion.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will not trouble you with my own affairs."

The prince simply nodded and said, "Madam Hou donated the medicinal materials this time to save the people from the dire situation. I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked away, Wang rushed into the house anxiously. When she saw Zhao Yuxuan's miserable appearance, she was immediately frightened and rushed over to hug her precious son tightly, crying out in sorrow: "Oh my son! How could the Xue family do such a heinous thing to torture my son like this? If we don't take revenge, we are not gentlemen. We must make them pay with blood!"

"Mom, just put your mind at ease! This time, the Xue family will definitely not be able to escape! They dared to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they are simply seeking their own death. The Xue family will definitely suffer a devastating disaster." Zhao Yuxuan came back to his senses from his thoughts and said solemnly.

However, just when Zhao Yuxuan thought he had nothing to worry about, Xue Jinhua poured down his head like a basin of ice water, "My Lord, you should think about how to deal with it first! Although my second brother has offended the Crown Prince, it is only my second brother's fault. The Xue family may not suffer because of this."

Zhao Yuxuan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. Xue Jinhua continued to talk: "The Grand Tutor's Mansion now controls a large number of elite troops. Not to mention that the eldest brother is the Grand Tutor and has a great reputation; the third brother is a business tycoon, rich enough to rival a country; even the fourth brother is a powerful second-rank official in the court. Not to mention His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if the emperor wants to take action against the Xue family, I'm afraid he will have to think twice before acting."

At this moment, anyone who dares to go against the Xue family will end up dead.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxuan couldn't help but feel terrified. Thinking back then, the reason why he provoked Xue Qing'er was simply because he hoped to rise to prominence with the help of the Xue family. Unexpectedly, things went against his wishes. Not only did he completely break up with the Xue family, but even his second brother Xue was imprisoned by the Crown Prince because of him.

The Xue family will definitely come to cause trouble for me.

Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Then what should I do..."

Xue Jinhua looked coldly at the indecisive and bewildered mother and son in front of her, her heart full of contempt and disdain. She turned around and left without saying a word, without even turning her head back.

She knew very well that Second Brother Xue was just the beginning. The Xue family didn't just want to deal with Zhao Yuxuan. She was also one of their targets. In this way, the days ahead would probably not be smooth.

At this moment, Yinghua came hurriedly to report: "Miss, the beggar master sent someone to deliver a letter saying that his master has arrived and is waiting for you now."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua was overjoyed and quickly ordered, "Hurry, let's set off immediately."

Afterwards, an exquisitely decorated carriage slowly drove towards the narrow and deep alley. Not long after, Xue Jinhua arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.

The beggar who had been waiting here saw her coming and hurried forward to greet her, bowed respectfully and said, "Madam, please come this way."

Following the beggar through the courtyard, we walked into one of the rooms. The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which was refreshing. On a bed made of precious red sandalwood, sat a Taoist priest in white clothes, who looked calm and like an immortal. He looked peaceful, his eyes slightly closed, and exuded an otherworldly aura.

After sensing someone entering the room, Master Tiandao slowly opened his eyes. Xue Jinhua called softly, "Master Tiandao."

Master Tiandao's face was as gloomy as water, and he said solemnly: "It's still halfway."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help feeling a little bewildered. She really didn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence.

However, the beggar master at the side seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He exclaimed: "Master, the last time I observed Madam, there was clearly still 60% that had not been devoured! How come after just a few days, half of it has been devoured?"

Xue Jinhua was also secretly shocked when she heard this. If so, even if Xue Qing'er and Zhao Yuxuan were killed, or even the entire Xue family was killed, would it be useless? No matter how hard she tried, she would still be unable to stop that person from secretly changing her fate?

Thinking of this, a feeling of despair surged in her heart, but she quickly pulled herself together and pleaded with Master Tiandao again: "I hope you can give me some pointers."

Master Tiandao frowned slightly, stretched out his fingers and began to calculate. After a moment, he sighed helplessly and said, "Well, this matter was ultimately caused by my evil disciple. In this case, I will make an exception and help you today!"

Xue Jinhua quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Master, for your great kindness."

Master Tiandao waved his hand and continued, "But don't be in a hurry to thank me. It is not easy to change your destiny. The risks involved are not something that ordinary mortals can bear. As for whether you can succeed in the end, everything depends on your own luck and opportunity." After saying this, Master Tiandao closed his eyes and said no more.
