Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Xueyue took a bold step back, her eyes wide open with an indescribable emotion. No one knew whether she was afraid or just surprised.

"Ms. Li, you are not allowed to be a burden to your family." The eunuch knelt on the ground, with only a hair above his forehead from the dust.

A soldier slowly said to Li Wenmin: "We deeply apologize for our rude behavior, but under the emperor's strict order, we must escort Miss Li to see the merciful Majesty. If the lady is unwilling, we are forced to be unkind to this lady."

These are the emperor's personal guards, the elite of the elite. Soldiers are trained from birth; they are stealthy, powerful, and unstoppable. In this world, they only obey the orders of two people.

Seeing no one moving or responding, the soldiers all lowered their heads. The masked man in the lead roughly pushed King Li Chenyang away and firmly reached over Madam Li Qixing. His hand tightly grasped Li Xueyue's wrist.

A man in black came out from the shadows. It was Ling, the personal guard of Lord Li Chenyang. He was about to take the young lady back, but was stopped.

"We apologize to Madam Li." The leader said, and with a strong pull, he pulled Xueyue to his side. She almost stumbled, but he immediately supported her. Until he heard a voice that almost made him kneel to the ground.

"Stand at attention." An unusually calm voice cut through the tense atmosphere. There was nothing in the world more dangerous and terrifying than this order.

Immediately, the soldiers all put their hands on their hips and lowered their heads as low as possible until everyone was symmetrical. Their shoulders were tense, their eyes were grounded, and their ears were open. They were completely obedient.

Everyone watching began to whisper. They had not expected such a reaction. Who had the power to command the emperor's guards?

The soldiers fell to their knees. Their eyes went wide, and several swallowed in horror. They were going to die today.

"Draw your sword and fall."

Kill yourself. That's the order.

And they are very loyal and carry out orders immediately.

As their hands grasped the hilts of their swords, a voice said calmly, "Enough, stand up, right now."

Some people resisted the urge to gasp, but most did. The onlookers clasped their fists one by one, and the women curtsied: "Long live the prosperous Wuyi Emperor!"

The soldiers remained kneeling, because there was only one person in this world whose words were more important than the emperor's. This was none other than Commander Wen Jinkai himself.

The Emperor sighed. "What loyal people they are. Your wish is their command."

Wen Jinkai had a murderous look on his face. A shadow passed over him, his jaw clattered, and he clenched his teeth. If anyone dared to lay a hand on his woman, no one would leave here alive.

"Commander, what do you mean?" The emperor shook his head. "These soldiers are not for you to kill."

"What are you waiting for? Fall down." Wen Jinkai roared. Hearing his words, they all put their swords to their throats.

"Stop, no one can die gloriously today." The emperor said immediately, waving his hand to ask other guards to stop the kneeling soldiers. But no one dared to move.

"They extended their hand to a reluctant lady."

"Oh?" the emperor laughed. "Is this why you killed ten of my distinguished guards? When did you become a gentleman?"

The emperor turned to look at Li Xueyue, his eyes lingering on her face. Indeed, she was a great beauty, enough to make an empire surrender. It was a pity that she had this face. He would rather she use this beauty to destroy Han Jian, rather than destroy Wu Yi.

"Is a simple woman making such a fuss?" someone commented. Walking into the tense atmosphere with his head held high was Lord Li Daojun. "Oh! Is that my dear brother?" He burst into laughter as soon as he saw King Li Chenyang.

"Long time no see, Tao Jun, I'm surprised you're standing here instead of in the red light district." King Li Chenyang said with a smile. "The last time I saw you, you were begging our father to inherit a title."

"Haha, okay, I understand, don't I? I'm the Duke now. Of course, this wasn't given by him, you so kindly decided to snatch this from me." Duke Li Daojun grinned, his eyes lingering on the woman whose future he had ruined. His originally overly happy expression turned gloomy. Now that he had seen her up close, he was frightened by the scene before him. Li Minghua...? He blinked violently, and his sight disappeared in an instant. No, that was impossible.

Li Taojun found out how small the world was. He glanced at Li Xueyue's face and was almost stunned by his discovery. How could... this happen? Impossible. Absolutely impossible. There was no way she could stand in front of him. He must have drunk too much.

"Well, Li Daojun, your decision has produced a butterfly effect." The emperor laughed. "I thought only my fourth son would protest, but I misjudged my dear commander's reaction."

"Ah, yes!" King Li Tao forced himself to look away from Li Xueyue, but his eyes drifted back to her in disbelief. Did she realize this as he did? No, she didn't. He saw it in her confused expression, so beautiful, so docile, reminding him of a woman who was forced to share his bed.

"Now I remember why I chose her," he nodded in agreement. "She was such a beautiful sight that I was distracted for a moment." He shook his head, almost as if he was blaming himself. "Her outstanding performance today caught my eye. If she can catch my attention, I can ensure that Han Jian's noble generals can catch my attention as well. Who knows? If she is lucky, maybe the commander-in-chief of Han Jian will be interested in her." \"

"Miss, you are not suited to these men." Young Master Li Taojun said brazenly, nodding to the princes who were watching. "They are all gentlemen, that's for sure, but you are destined to be more than that. Your skills put you far above the boring position of the harem. You need someone who is freer and more suitable for you." He blinked, "What did you say? Are you willing to bring honor to your family?"

"If she leaves, we will all be ashamed." Lord Li Chenyang smiled cunningly and said firmly. "Don't worry, dear brother, I don't need your help. I would never allow her to join the harem from the beginning."

"Uh, I was just saying—"

“No one asked for your opinion.”

"What a pity." Lord Li Tao said helplessly. "The decision has been made. Whether she is willing or not, Li Xueyue is the last candidate to go straight to Hanjian. And there is nothing in this world that can stop her."

Li Taojungong turned to Li Xueyue and forced himself to look only at the bridge of her nose. He couldn't look at her. Too much guilt weighed on his heart. He felt guilty for realizing that something could have saved her, but decided to keep his mouth shut because he was uncertain.

"Girl, please don't make a big deal out of this. If you don't stand up, you'll cause trouble for your family." Li Taojun pointed to the crowd who didn't miss the show. "Everyone is watching. You are under people's attention. Nothing you do or say will change the decision that has been made. So please don't tarnish my brother's reputation for your own benefit."

If there was one thing Li Xueyue was afraid of, it was being a burden to the people who loved and cared about her. She hesitated and took a small step forward. Duchess Li Qixing immediately wanted to grab her.

The Duchess whispered, "No, you are not a burden to us. It's okay. Stay."

Li Xueyue glanced at the emperor, then at the crowd. When her eyes almost fell on the Bai family, she forced herself not to look. Two years later, she still felt a chill down her spine when she thought of this. She couldn't control it.

"Sister-in-law, you are such a kind mother, but please don't hinder your daughter's bravery." Li Daojun said.

The emperor glanced at Li Xueyue. "Come forward, girl." His eyes were fixed on her, no one else. He was afraid that he would feel regret as soon as he saw his sister.

The emperor robbed the daughter of a mother who was his precious sister. A sister who married his best friend, Prime Minister Wuyi. How could he not feel devastated by guilt when he destroyed them both at the same time?
