The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

"Quick! Run away!"

"The city has been breached! The imperial city has been breached!"

"Dong Ling is coming in!"

Mountains and rivers collapsed. The once prosperous Qingjing was now filled with the sound of horse hooves like rain, war drums like thunder, and corpses piled up like mountains.

In the palace, which used to have strict rules, the maids and eunuchs fled in panic. The bolder ones took advantage of the chaos to loot the rare treasures in the palace, leaving the whole place in devastation.

There is only one place that is different from the chaos and war outside.

The Yuqiong Hall is located in the northernmost corner of the imperial palace. The window frames inside the hall are half-rotten, spider webs are woven under the eaves, a few old trees block out the sun, and weeds grow under the trees.

A woman in blue was standing under the tree. Her face was almost pale and her long, slightly dry hair was scattered behind her, making her figure look even thinner. She was only in her twenties, but she looked haggard and tired.

Hearing the noise outside the hall, her calm eyes drooped, but the corners of her bloodless lips curled up slightly.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the jade pendant in her hand, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

He should be here soon, right?

He has a border defense map of the Northern Qi border, so everything should go smoothly.

She married into the Northern Qi Dynasty and suffered humiliation. She obtained the border defense map of Northern Qi for him and helped him achieve unprecedented achievements.

Finally, there were no more obstacles between her and him.

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and smiled, her laughter was very joyful.

This was the first time she had smiled sincerely in the three years since she married into Northern Qi.

As she was laughing, she suddenly became short of breath and coughed uncontrollably. It took her a long time to recover.

She stood up and hung the jade pendant around her waist with great care, then entered the hall.

Looking around, her eyes fell on the blurry bronze mirror.

She covered her chest and walked tremblingly to the bronze mirror and sat down.

She wiped off the layer of dust on the bronze mirror, and when she saw the face in the mirror clearly, she frowned slightly.

His dry and pale hands climbed up his cheeks, and a trace of panic finally appeared in his eyes.

She opened the box and looked for cosmetics.

She couldn't go to see His Highness like this.

"boom!"

Just as Cheng Jiuyuan was dressing up, the palace door was violently kicked open.

"Bitch! How dare you betray me!"

Following a loud shout, a tall figure in armor and covered in blood entered the hall, followed by soldiers who had also fought bloody battles.

This group of people's eyes fell on Cheng Jiuyuan, as if they wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh.

The wooden comb in Cheng Jiuyuan's hand fell to the ground. His body instinctively shrank and the last trace of blood on his face faded away.

The leading man approached her step by step with a sword in hand, exuding a bloodthirsty and ruthless aura that made people feel terrified.

Cheng Jiuyuan sat in front of the dressing mirror without moving, pretending to be calm.

She could only delay time. Once the prince came, she would be saved.

"Your Majesty, you..."

But the man didn't stop her from speaking, he grabbed her slender neck with his big hand and stared at her with his scarlet eyes.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, I really underestimated you! How dare you collaborate with Chu Ze!"

"Unfair...unjust..." Cheng Jiuyuan had his throat strangled and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

"Unfair? Chu Ze said it himself, and you still dare to quibble!"

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes lit up instantly.

Your Highness said that?

Your Highness is here!

He's finally here!

She had suffered humiliation over the past three years, and he finally came to take her back to her homeland!

Seeing a hint of joy on her face, the man threw her to the ground mercilessly.

Cheng Jiuyuan fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Hahaha, Cheng Jiuyuan, what are you so happy about? Do you think Chu Ze is here to pick you up? Do you think you still have a future with him?"

Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly raised his head: "Why can't there be a future where I help him take down Northern Qi..."

"Pa!" The man slapped Cheng Jiuyuan on the face.

"Bitch!" He drew his sword and approached.

Looking at the approaching sword energy, Cheng Jiuyuan closed his eyes resignedly.

Just then, there was a noise outside the door.

"Hurry! There's a palace here. Qi Zhen, the dog emperor, must be inside!"

Qi Zhen turned around suddenly and saw a group of Dongling soldiers rushing in. The leader was wearing golden flowing cloud armor, with a faint golden light lingering all over his body, and had a handsome face. It was Chu Ze, the Prince of Dongling.

Qi Zhen grabbed Cheng Jiuyuan and put the sword across her neck.

"Chu Ze, if you come any closer, I'll kill her!"

Seeing the people from his hometown who he was worried about day and night, Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes welled up with tears.

"Your Highness..." The word 'Your Highness' was filled with endless grievances.

Hearing her voice, the expression on Chu Ze's gentle face did not change, but his eyes were slightly complicated.

In just a moment, he turned his eyes away and said in a cold voice: "Whoever captures Qi Zhen's head will be promoted three levels and rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"

The voice was gentle, yet cold and ruthless, and Cheng Jiuyuan felt a pain in her heart.

"Your Highness!"

How could he ignore her safety?

Why is he so indifferent?

Does His Highness dislike her?

She immediately said: "Your Highness, I am innocent, I..."

She called herself a subject because she never considered herself a concubine of Northern Qi.

"I'm sorry, but I can't marry someone who has been married to a foreign country, not to mention that you are a concubine of an enemy country."

The hope in Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes was shattered by these words, along with her already broken heart and body.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door, interrupting Cheng Jiuyuan's words: "Your Highness, my sister has been married to Northern Qi for three years and is still a virgin, which shows how deeply she loves you."

A woman came in from outside the palace gate. She had an extremely beautiful face, wore silver-white armor, and had her ponytail tied up high.

The Dongling soldiers automatically made way for her, and the woman walked side by side with Chu Ze.

Chu Ze's slightly cold face softened instantly.

"Yun Ge, why are you here?"

"After all, she is my sister, so of course I have to come."

Chu Ze took her hand and protected her behind him.

Looking at the two people's tightly clasped hands, Cheng Jiuyuan's joy at seeing her relatives and loved ones disappeared in an instant, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

"You... you..."

"Hahaha, Cheng Jiuyuan, this is what happens when you betray me!" Qi Zhen's sinister voice sounded from above his head.

He understood that the woman in his hand could no longer threaten Chu Ze, so he struck Cheng Jiuyuan with a sword and tried to escape.

Chu Ze soon started fighting with him and the fight went all the way to the outer hall.

Cheng Jiuyuan fell to the ground, covering his chest which was bleeding profusely.

"Sister, how did you become like this? Where is the charm of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto?"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked hatefully at the woman she had called sister for more than ten years.

"You and His Highness..."

"Sister, don't be unwilling. You have had the best things in the world since you were born. Family background, looks, money, and even marriage. This simply leaves no way for others to survive."

"But now these are all mine."

"Your Highness and I will be fine, you can go on your journey with peace of mind."

Cheng Jiuyuan's voice was hoarse: "Your Highness won't be so cruel! He said that as long as I help him get the border defense map and he defeats Northern Qi, no one can separate us anymore!"

Cheng Yunge shook his head and sighed, "Alas, you really have been raised to be extremely stupid by my mother. Look at your face now. What do you think the Crown Prince would like about you?"

Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

Cheng Yunge's eyes fell on the jade pendant on Cheng Jiuyuan's waist, and she suddenly let out a strange "ah".

"Hey? Don't you only have His Highness in your heart? Why are you wearing Chu Heng's jade pendant?"

Cheng Jiuyuan was shocked and suddenly looked down at the jade pendant.

This jade pendant... belongs to the fifth prince?

"Well, you're going to die anyway, and I'm going home too. There's no point in talking any more."

Cheng Yunge squatted down with a knife in his hand and continued to talk to himself: "I'm sorry, sister. Only by taking your life and saving the second female lead can I complete my mission and go home." After saying that, he was ready to swing the knife.

"If you kill me, my grandfather will never be loyal to Chu Ze again!"

Cheng Yunge stopped, looked at me with compassion, and suddenly sighed.

"I'll let you be a clear-headed ghost. Your grandfather's family had rebellious hearts long before your marriage. All 130 members of the family except Weng Ruyi became ghosts three years ago. Alas, that blood on the ground..." Cheng Yunge uttered the heartbreaking words calmly.

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes were red with anger: "No!! Impossible!! I received a letter from my uncle last month..."

"That's your uncle's handwriting, which Weng Ruyi imitated."

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes were filled with bloodshot, his expression was crazy, and he shook his head like crazy.

"Impossible...impossible..."

But a voice in her heart told her that she had fallen into such a situation and there was no need for Cheng Yunge to lie to her.

My grandfather became Chu Ze's money bag because of her engagement with Chu Ze.

Since she has married, my grandfather naturally won't continue to be the scapegoat.

Chu Ze cannot fight for the throne without money, so he will definitely take action against his grandfather.

"Chuze! Beast! Beast!!"

She suddenly looked at Cheng Yunge, the model of a noble lady who had always been praised by the people. At this moment, she still had a compassionate expression on her face, but her eyes were clearly filled with pride and cruelty.

"Cheng Yunge, you vicious woman! You and Chu Ze, you will not have a good death!!"

After shouting this, Cheng Jiuyuan seemed to have lost all his strength.

"Puff——" After spitting out a mouthful of blood, she could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a dead silence in her eyes.

Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt...

It was Yuan'er who mistook the thief for her mother and failed to judge people. Yuan'er deserves to die!

She is unwilling!

I am so unwilling...

Cheng Yunge squatted down, looked at Cheng Jiuyuan who died with his eyes open, and sighed with pity.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Don't be so stupid next time."

Cheng Jiuyuan thought it was an illusion before death. She actually heard two different voices coming out of Cheng Yunge's mouth.

One was vicious, the other had a false compassion, and the expressions on their faces kept changing.

"I helped you take away the luck of the heroine. The heroine is dead. You will have a smooth life in the future. Now you can take over this body."

"Hahaha, Cheng Jiuyuan is finally dead! It's a pity that he died so easily!"

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to cut off her flesh piece by piece! And feed her bones to the dogs!"

"Why bother? The person is already dead."

"Let go!"

Cheng Yunge held the knife in his right hand, but his left hand was preventing the knife from getting close to Cheng Jiuyuan.

Finally, Cheng Yunge sighed.

"Forget it. Anyway, my mission is to save the second female lead. Mission accomplished. It's time for me to go home. Tong, send me home."

Cheng Yunge's body twitched, and when she looked up again, there was no trace of compassion on her face, instead it was filled with cruelty.

She held the knife, grinning and slowly approached Cheng Jiuyuan on the ground, swinging the knife without hesitation, one cut after another...
