The Miraculous Doctor and Poisonous Princess

The Legitimate Daughter's Return

The capital city of the Dongqin Dynasty was named Shangdu. It was located in the north and boasted a relatively high terrain. It was a treasured place chosen as the capital by the founding emperor when he established the country. He had invited seven geomancers to make the selection.

Before dawn on this day, the news of the great victory of the tenth prince, Jun Mulin, in the frontier battle reached Shangdu. Meanwhile, the sad report that Jun Mulin had unfortunately died in an ambush by the enemy on his way back to the capital also arrived. The whole nation of Dongqin was plunged into mourning. Emperor Tianhe prepared the most solemn funeral for his most beloved youngest son. White mourning flags were raised from the four city gates and filled the entire city of Shangdu in just one morning. Paper money was scattered everywhere, and all the common people out on the streets were dressed in plain clothes.

At the same time, the Bai Family of the Wen Guo Gong Mansion in the capital was also holding a funeral. Bai Heran, the legitimate daughter who had been seriously ill and sent to a distant relative in an outer county for three years of recuperation, was supposed to return to the capital recently. However, unexpectedly, the horse went mad on the way, and she and the carriage fell off the cliff together.

Upon hearing the news of the tenth prince's death, all the court officials in the capital entered the palace, and Bai Xingyan, the Duke of Wen Guo, also went there. Seeing that Emperor Tianhe was in extreme grief, he quickly came up with an idea. He said that the Wen Guo Gong Mansion held a hereditary first-class noble title, and his deceased daughter was a legitimate daughter. In terms of status, his daughter Bai Heran was quite a match for His Highness the tenth prince, Jun Mulin. It would be better for the two families to form a posthumous marriage so that the tenth prince wouldn't be lonely over there. Emperor Tianhe, already in despair over the death of his youngest son, was suddenly struck by Bai Xingyan's words. He also thought that his son was already eighteen years old and it was really a pity that he had died in a foreign land without getting married. So with a wave of his hand, he bestowed a posthumous marriage upon His Highness the tenth prince, Jun Mulin, and Bai Heran, the second daughter of the Wen Guo Gong Mansion.

It was under such circumstances that Bai Heran returned to the city of Shangdu. When she stood in front of the imperial edict posted on the city wall in her frozen and shabby robe, she was in an extremely bad mood. A posthumous marriage? What on earth was a posthumous marriage? Could a person still be given a marriage after death? This was not only a lack of human rights but also a deprivation of even the rights of the dead. The feudal system was truly overbearing. When alive, people couldn't be their own masters, and even after death, they couldn't escape being manipulated by imperial power.

"I don't know which immoral person came up with such an idea. But since I'm not dead, this posthumous marriage naturally doesn't count." She stretched out her hand and tore down the imperial edict in front of her.

This immediately caused a big stir. During the period of mourning, there were officials with white mourning bands everywhere on the street. As soon as the imperial edict was torn down, two groups of officials immediately surrounded her, accompanied by one stern shout after another: "Who is so bold as to dare to tear down the imperial edict?"

After shouting, the officials were also stunned. How could it be a young girl? She looked so disheveled. The wide robe was so loose that it could almost fit three of her. This young girl was holding the imperial edict in her hand, and her eyes were like white wolves on the glacier, so cold that just one glance from her made them feel a chill all over their bodies. For some unknown reason, so many officials, when facing Bai Heran, were all filled with a sense of fear.

Bai Heran looked around, and her gaze became even colder. From now on, was she going to live her whole life under such a system? There were no high-rise buildings, no guns or ammunition. There were only people bowing and scraping and adhering rigidly to old conventions. She lowered her head to look at the imperial edict in her hand. Somehow, the image of the man soaking in the hot spring and his eyes with a faint purplish glow flashed through her mind, and she felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.

Bai Heran didn't say anything. She searched through the memories of the original owner in her mind and then walked towards the direction of the Wen Guo Gong Mansion. Some officials wanted to stop her, but a companion beside them pulled him back and whispered, "Forget it. This young girl might not be in a good mental state. She must have been stimulated by something. There are already so many things going on in the capital today. Let's not add to the trouble."

The Wen Guo Gong Mansion was located in the due west of the city of Shangdu. The square and orderly Shangdu followed the principle of "the east is wealthy, the west is noble, the south is humble, and the north is poor." In the west of the city where noble families were everywhere, the Wen Guo Gong Mansion was the most magnificent mansion apart from the mansions of all the princes.

When she arrived, she saw from a distance that the gate of the mansion was wide open, and countless people with white mourning bands were coming and going. There were also many people carrying paper sacrificial offerings into the mansion. A man was standing at the entrance of the mansion shouting loudly, "Be careful! These are all the dowry of the second miss. Don't damage them at all. If anyone dares to be careless, even if our Wen Guo Gong Mansion doesn't take your life, the Zun Wang Mansion won't let you off either!"

Bai Heran furrowed her brows slightly. She had an impression of the Zun Wang Mansion. It was written on the imperial edict that the title of the tenth prince was Zun Wang. She continued walking forward and stopped outside the gate of the mansion.

She continued walking forward and stopped outside the gate of the mansion. There were quite a few people standing inside the gate. A woman in her mid-thirties was saying with a sad look on her face, "These dowries are not enough. Bai Fu, you should ask someone to prepare more later. We can't let others look down upon our Wen Guo Gong Mansion, nor can we let the second miss be bullied over there. The second miss had a hard life. She couldn't enjoy a good life when she was alive, and now that she's gone, we can't let her be wronged."

With that, she gritted her teeth and took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and placed it on a paper figurine...
