Is it because of their similar appearance?
So, now...what is the current situation of the real little princess?
And as a substitute, to what extent can her value be exploited?
"Father, can I take these two books back with me?" Luo Xue raised her head and looked at the Immortal Emperor with pleading eyes, "I may not be able to finish reading them here."
"...sure."
The Immortal Emperor paused and nodded slightly.
"If you want, you can take all the books in the imperial study."
"Thank you, Father." Luo Xue showed a happy expression on her face, "Can I come more often in the future?"
The Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and wanted to refuse.
But at this time, Xue'er next to him had woken up. She looked at the Immortal Emperor in confusion, which slightly hurt his heart.
After all, I couldn't refuse the request made by this identical face...
"No problem. As long as it's what you want, Father can give it to you."
When saying this, the Immortal Emperor was looking at Xue'er who was sleepy beside him.
Perhaps because he thought Luo Xue was just a mortal child, the Immortal Emperor obviously didn't take it seriously. Luo Xue could see this huge flaw clearly.
Combined with such a strong mysterious mortal aura, Luo Xue was almost certain that the real Snow Princess was sitting next to her at this moment, but she just couldn't see her.
Perhaps it is because His Majesty the Immortal Emperor is ultimately unable to remain calm in the face of his daughter's substitute, and has no choice but to appear loving, which leads to this strange situation.
Luo Xue felt that the time was almost up and she would feel uncomfortable staying any longer, so she stood up and said,
"Father, I want to go back and study these books. When you return from your southern tour, I want you to see my progress."
"...Go ahead." The Immortal Emperor closed his eyes weakly, "Father...is also tired."
Luo Xue bowed slightly to the Immortal Emperor, then left the imperial study with the book.
Xue'er didn't wake up completely until Luo Xue left, but she could no longer see the white-haired girl who looked like herself next to her, and her expression was a little melancholy.
"Xue'er..."
"She is a very good person, right?" Xue'er propped up her chin and looked at the direction where Luo Xue left. "That's great. She is Xue'er's ideal... It would be great if Xue'er could become someone like her..."
"No, Xue'er, no one can compare to you," the Immortal Emperor said softly, "Even if her appearance is almost the same as yours... she can't compare to you, my Xue'er."
Even though they have exactly the same appearance, Luo Xue's slightly distant and polite demeanor, as well as her determined and self-reliant appearance, are completely different from Xue'er.
These differences told the Immortal Emperor all the time that they were two different people.
Luo Xue is neither Xue'er nor a substitute for Xue'er.
The Immortal Emperor felt heartbroken when he thought that if Xue'er died without treatment, all the Xue'er he would see for the rest of his life would be a substitute.
Just as the Emperor and Empress said, in their game, the biggest mistake the Immortal Emperor made was that he developed feelings for the Little Princess.
Xue'er still yearns for Luo Xue, even though the illness is almost taking her life.
Soon...
All this is coming soon...
......
"Princess Xue stayed in the imperial study for less than half a day before returning to the palace."
The old lady who was the etiquette officer lowered her head and reported respectfully to the Emperor and Empress.
At this time, the Emperor and the Empress were enthusiastically tending the flower buds that had grown with great difficulty. After waiting for several months, a few bright colors finally bloomed on the bare branches. Even the Emperor and the Empress seemed to be in a better mood.
"Oh, it seems that Emperor Dugu is not very satisfied with his new daughter." The Empress waved her hands, and the scissors formed by spiritual energy dissipated. "It doesn't matter, just change another one. I think Luo Xue from the southern tribe is very good. Anyway, they all have white hair."
"Madam, do you mean to say..."
The old lady who was the etiquette officer showed a surprised expression.
"Oh, this one now, he will most likely die." The Empress waved her hands indifferently, "I know the character of the Dugu Emperor very well. Once Dugu Xue dies, he will definitely kill a few substitutes. Anyway, I have prepared several, so I will just fight him."
"Why, why..."
The old etiquette officer couldn't understand and her face was full of shock.
"Because in this game of chess, Princess Xue is just an insignificant move. The important thing is Emperor Min's concubine." The Empress said slowly.
"The Concubine Min could neither die nor live, she could only be locked up in the cold palace, keeping the last bit of hope - her daughter was still alive, surviving in the world.
"If the Immortal Emperor had no feelings for his family, he could have continued to use a substitute, as long as Concubine Min believed that her daughter was still alive. Unfortunately..."
From the beginning to the end, what Emperor Dugu really needed was Consort Min, not her daughter.
It’s a pity that Emperor Dugu hated Concubine Min but was soft-hearted towards Xue’er.
The Empress glanced at the old lady, the etiquette officer, and her eyes softened a little.
"Wan'er, you didn't have to know all this. I didn't intend to tell you at the beginning... You have a kindness that shouldn't be seen in the imperial family."
If the old lady, the etiquette officer, had not happened to meet Xue'er in the bedroom at that time and had not chosen to ask the Emperor and Empress about this matter, she would only wonder why Princess Xue would become dazed after a period of time and became like a different person after she recovered from her illness.
For the Emperor and Empress, it was very easy to change a person's memory and appearance without leaving a trace, not to mention that there was more than one person with born white hair.
"But...it would be troublesome if Emperor Dugu changed like this. I like Princess Xue now." The Empress pondered for a moment, "How about letting her go to Nangong Holy Land? Ling'er is already on the way."
This is a rare pure human being, perhaps he is related to the legendary ancestral land.
The fact that she could even construct an array formation with ease was enough to prove that her human identity was beyond doubt.
"Does she realize she's a double?"
The Empress suddenly thought of this and turned around to ask.
Hearing this, the old lady of etiquette fell into deep thought, recalling the various behaviors of Princess Snow during this period, and shook her head.
"Probably... not yet."
During this period of time, Princess Snow seemed to be only immersed in the formation, and there was nothing unusual.
I think a sixteen-year-old girl should not have such deep thoughts. The Emperor and Empress are probably just worrying too much.
"I am always a little uneasy about this..."
The Empress pondered for a moment and said, "Don't let Ling'er leave the palace before she arrives at the Imperial Clan's Holy Land, even if it's just to go to the Imperial Capital."
"As you command, Empress Dowager."
The old lady, the etiquette officer, bowed and saluted, then slowly left the courtyard.
The Empress walked back to the recliner and sat down slowly.
Her gaze was looking into the distance, seemingly in the direction of the imperial study.
"Southern Tour..."
"Are you so eager to get rid of the Nangong clan?"
The Great Qin Immortal Dynasty does not belong to the Immortal Emperor alone. At the beginning of his conquest, he received help from many ancient clans, even though the original purpose of these ancient clans was only to use the Immortal Emperor's hand to eliminate dissidents.
The establishment of such a huge immortal dynasty was an accident.
However, because of this, even within the Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal Emperor was still restricted in many ways by the ancient clans, especially the Nangong clan who contributed the most in the wars.
If the Immortal Emperor wants to break through these limitations, there are many things he needs to do.
The first is to break through to the Great Sage, which is powerful enough to be comparable to the hidden elders of various ancient clans. The second is to lead the tribes in the wild areas of the south and gather another powerful force within the Immortal Dynasty to check and balance the ancient clans.
Consort Min is the key to solving the problem of the Immortal Emperor realm, and the recent unification of the wild areas in the south has given him hope.
The ancient clans represented by the Nangong clan currently only hold the trump card of Emperor Min's concubine. The wild land in the south is the key to the Immortal Emperor's breakthrough.
But is it really that simple?
In a trance, the empress saw that the flower bud she had taken care of carefully for a long time seemed to have withered a little. She did not use any magic, but was in deep thought.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and said softly,
"Perhaps, we need to add more fire..."
Chapter 167 Chaos in the Imperial Palace, Princess Assassinated
"I...must escape from the Imperial Palace as soon as possible."
After a night of careful consideration, Luo Xue finally came to this conclusion.
All the clues are enough to prove that she is the substitute of Princess Snow, and the real Princess Snow is hiding in the imperial study.
What are stand-ins usually used for...
It is usually used to commit suicide!
In addition to the miserable situation of Emperor Min's concubine, the Empress who has been behind the scenes, and the Immortal Emperor whose attitude is still unclear...
Now in this imperial palace, it is like a bottomless whirlpool.
Luo Xue was just standing outside and took a quick glance inside, and she felt suffocated.
When this group of powerful people started playing tricks, Luo Xue was no match for them with her shallow cultivation and limited experience.
They have lived for tens of thousands of years, we can't beat them...
So, if you can’t beat them, run away!
However, Luo Xue was very clear that as an important chess piece and Princess Snow's substitute, neither the Emperor or the Immortal Emperor would let her leave the Imperial Palace easily.
If Luo Xue wants to escape from this bottomless vortex, she must play a trump card.
Now the cards are in front of her.
——The real Snow Princess.
"Although I don't know what disease she has, why she uses me as a substitute, and hides in the imperial study." Luo Xue took a deep breath, "But there is no doubt that she is at least very important to the Immortal Emperor."
The imperial study is a very private place, and even the Immortal Emperor's closest palace guards cannot get close to it.
If it weren't for Luo Xu's identity as a substitute, she would never have access to such a confidential place.
But the real Snow Princess can come and go freely... From this we can see that the Immortal Emperor really dotes on her.
"Finally, there is a reasonable explanation for what happened recently, but it's not enough." Luo Xue's eyes flickered, "If you want to leave the palace, the real Princess Snow... is the key."
And...she also has to cause some trouble in the Imperial Palace.
As for how to cause chaos... Luo Xue had already thought of it. This trick was originally intended to be used after leaving the palace after finding the Jindan secret realm.
Luo Xue turned her head slightly and looked at the mirror beside her. Now this delicate and beautiful face was incompatible with her temperament.
"Senior Sister Li, I'm sorry, I have to borrow your appearance for a while..."
Luo Xue took a deep breath and her appearance began to change.
It is not the classic ghost girl appearance of Li Guijiao, but Li Guijiao's real appearance, a beautiful girl who is a little gloomy.
With Luo Xue's current magical talent, coupled with her many experiences in using disguise, her current "Thousand Transformation Technique" is almost the same as that of the Li Guijiao back then. Even those who are closest to her cannot tell the difference.
This is a true technique of using supernatural powers to change one's physical appearance. Even the most advanced illusion-breaking pupil technique cannot see through it. Only by forcibly searching the soul can some of the tricks be discovered.
Luo Xue put on a black veil, quietly left the bedroom, walked along the designed route, and then quietly returned to the bedroom to remove her disguise.
Finally, Luo Xue lay on the bed, took out a dagger, and stabbed herself in the heart.
"Well..."
This feeling of piercing the heart is indeed painful...
Luo Xue collapsed completely on the bed, with blood soaking the entire bed.
She acted with discretion, leaving her in a state of near death but not completely dead.
Withering gradually approached her, but never got close.
Luo Xue did not fall asleep completely. It was not until she heard the chaotic screams of the palace maids around her in a trance that she slowly closed her eyes with relief.
"The princess... was assassinated..."
"Find the assassin..."
"Your Highness... Your Highness..."
