Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Li Dequan inwardly grumbled, but dared not show the slightest disrespect on his face.

He swallowed hard, a thin layer of sweat already forming on his forehead.

"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"

Lin Mo frowned.

Li Dequan shrank back in fright.

"Replying to Your Majesty! This old servant dares not conceal anything!"

He steadied himself and began to quickly search his mind for information about the Great Xia princess.

"The late emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty... was addicted to wine and women, and his offspring were not actually plentiful. Most of the princes were killed on the day the city fell, but as for princesses... there were indeed a few."

Li Dequan took a deep breath and began to report to Lin Mo, counting on his fingers like reciting a menu.

"Princess Xia Changge went to marry a northern barbarian in her early years, but was tortured to death by the northern barbarian king."

"The second princess contracted smallpox when she was three years old and died young."

"The Third Princess was a woman of strong character. On the day the city fell, she hanged herself in her palace."

"The Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess escaped the capital amidst the chaos of the falling city, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day. Most likely, they are in grave danger."

After finishing his sentence in one breath, Li Dequan cautiously raised his head to observe Lin Mo's expression.

Lin Mo frowned as he listened, and the tapping of his fingers stopped.

Dead, committed suicide, gone missing.

Why do all the princesses of the Great Xia Dynasty end up in such tragic circumstances?

"Wasn't a single one alive and well in the palace?"

Lin Mo's voice turned cold, tinged with displeasure.

Li Dequan was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"this……"

The old eunuch stammered and shrank back.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly noticing Li Dequan's unusual behavior.

"Li Dequan, does your head feel too heavy on your neck, and want me to help you move it?"

Li Dequan's legs went weak, and his head slammed against the gold bricks.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! This old servant dares not conceal the truth!"

"The Great Xia... the Great Xia does indeed have a fourth princess!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

In stock!

"What are you waiting for! Where do you live? What do you look like? Tell me right now!"

Li Dequan knelt on the ground, trembling like a leaf.

"Your Majesty, this fourth princess... is named Xia Youyue."

"Currently residing in the Youlan Garden, the northwesternmost corner of the harem, right next to the Cold Palace."

"only……"

Li Dequan began to swallow.

"Just what? That you're ugly?"

Lin Mo leaned back in his chair.

If she looks like Ru Hua (a character from a Chinese folktale), then forget it.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot have such an eye-polluting array core. If it uglies the enemy to death during a fight, whose kill will it be?

Li Dequan shook his head repeatedly.

"No, Your Majesty! The Fourth Princess is exceptionally beautiful, even surpassing the Ninth Princess in beauty!"

"That settles it then!"

Lin Mo stood up.

"But Your Majesty, this fourth princess... she's blind!"

blind?

Lin Mo sat back down in his chair.

Explain in detail.

Li Dequan knelt on the ground and quickly poured out everything he knew.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Princess's background is a taboo subject in the Great Xia Imperial Palace."

"Her birth mother was originally a foot-washing maid in the Imperial Laundry Department. One night, the late emperor got drunk and, in a daze,..."

"Later, this palace maid became pregnant with the emperor's child and gave birth to the fourth princess."

"But who knew that the fourth princess was born with a white film covering her eyes, making her a born blind person."

Li Dequan swallowed.

"The late emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty thought this was a terrible omen, and that the blind princess had disgraced the royal family."

"Immediately order that palace maid to be beaten to death with sticks, and throw the fourth princess, who is just a month old, into Youlan Garden to fend for herself."

"Over the years, I have barely survived because an old nanny in the cold palace feeds me with leftover food."

Lin Mo tapped his fingers on the table.

He was born blind.

They are not well-liked.

They lived in the cold palace.

Isn't this the perfect template for a useless protagonist?!

According to the rules of online novels, such marginalized characters who are born disabled and suffer all kinds of bullying must be hiding a shocking secret.

Either they've sealed away some ancient demon, or they possess some kind of extraordinary, heaven-defying physique.

It is absolutely qualified to be used as the core of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Where is Youlan Garden?

Lin Mo stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles on his dragon robe.

"lead the way."

……

In the northwest corner of the palace, the weeds are almost half a person tall.

Li Dequan, bent over, frantically cleared the way ahead, his hands shoving the waist-high weeds to both sides like rowing a boat.

"Your Majesty, watch your step. This place has been abandoned for many years, and there isn't a soul in sight most of the time."

Lin Mo loosened his collar.

The late Emperor of Great Xia was truly a scoundrel.

His own daughter, who was born blind, was simply abandoned in this godforsaken place to fend for herself.

In modern times, this would definitely be on a legal program.

After passing through a withered bamboo forest, a broken wooden door appeared ahead.

Lin Mo was about to go in.

A sharp shout suddenly rang out from the courtyard.

"You blind bastard! Hand over the stuff right now!"

"This is the last thing my grandmother left me, please..."

"Does someone from the Cold Palace even deserve to have memories? This jade pendant is of good quality; it can fetch several dozen taels of silver at a pawnshop. Let go of it!"

Snapped!

A slap in the face.

Lin Mo stopped in his tracks.

Good guy.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, how dare they engage in school bullying in my harem?

boom!

Lin Mo kicked the broken wooden door.

Half of the door flew off and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

There are three people in the courtyard.

Two old eunuchs dressed in gray cloth were holding down a young girl, one on each side.

The girl, dressed in coarse linen clothes covered in patches, slumped down in the mud.

A bright red handprint was imprinted on her fair cheek.

She clutched her hands tightly to her chest, holding a jade pendant with a chipped corner in her hand.

The girl's eyes were covered with a black cloth.

Lin Mo's gaze fell on the girl.

A system panel pops up automatically.

Name: Xia Youyue

[Identity: Fourth Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty]

Appearance rating: 99

[Talent: Netherworld Dark Body (Not Activated)]

[Conquest Rewards: Qi Condensation Technique x1, Sixty Years of Cultivation, Top-Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill x5]

Lin Mo's eyelids twitched violently.

Dark body of the underworld.

Dark attribute! The dark core of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is here!

Aesthetic appeal: 99.

The late emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was truly blind to have such a wonderful daughter left in the cold palace.

Startled by the sound of the door being kicked, the two old eunuchs turned around and began to curse.

"Who's so blind...?"

He was only halfway through his rant.

It stopped abruptly.

The two old eunuchs clearly saw Lin Mo's black dragon robe and Li Dequan, who was following behind him, covered in sweat.

Their legs buckled and they collapsed to their knees.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Li Dequan rushed forward and kicked each of them.

"Are you all blind?! How dare you shout at His Majesty! You're all deserving of your heads!"

Lin Mo walked up to Xia Youyue.

Xia Youyue shrank back, protecting the jade pendant to her chest with both hands.

Lin Mo ignored her and turned to look at the two eunuchs kneeling on the ground.

Which palace?

The two eunuchs trembled violently, their foreheads pounding into the muddy ground, creating two craters.

"This servant...this servant is from the Imperial Household Department and is responsible for emptying chamber pots...I was momentarily bewitched..."

"The person who empties chamber pots is trying to rob the cold palace?"

Lin Mo lifted his leg.

Click!Click!

Two crisp sounds.

The necks of the two eunuchs were broken by kicks, and they fell to the ground without making a sound.

Li Dequan was so frightened that he trembled and quickly beckoned the imperial guards outside to come in.

"Drag him out and clean up the blood on the ground."
