The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 446: Ying Ce Arc (Part 1)

I am Ying Ce.

Everyone thinks I am the Regent King of the Great Xia Country.

No one remembers that twenty-six years ago, there was a small border country called Xiliang.

And I was the crown prince of Xiliang Country.

Before I was born, Xiliang was annihilated, and my mother, known as the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains, was drugged by the dog Emperor of the Great Xia Country and forcibly taken.

My mother deeply loved my father, and I was the only bloodline of Xiliang.

Enduring humiliation, my mother gave birth to me, originally intending to end her life.

However, the Emperor of Great Xia imprisoned me deep within the palace, just to make my mother obey him.

And I was born a sickly child...

Eating flesh, drinking blood as a medium.

Human’s.

Only this way could I survive.

Day by day passed, my mother’s compliance, and my weak body finally made the dog Emperor let down his guard.

No longer did he confine me in that dark, narrow, decrepit courtyard.

On that day, I met a charming and lovely little girl, who was searching everywhere for her rabbit.

She was clad in silk clothes, spotless, with eyes so pure and untainted.

She called me brother, looking at me without the disdain others had in their eyes.

Every day, the little girl would come to play with me and bring me all sorts of unprecedented food and clothes.

She said she was the Chief Palace Maid beside the Seventh Princess, who had a kind heart and never troubled the attendants around her.

Until one day, I heard others call her: Princess.

Yes, how could she be a palace maid?

Yong Ye warned me more than once, but he trusted that little girl.

Yong Ye said he was naive, with a pure kind heart.

To this, I could only smile faintly.

Pure kindness?

Yet there was always a voice in my heart, and upon seeing that Seventh Princess, that voice constantly reminded me:

Why?

Why could she remain pure and spotless, why did her emperor father do all those heinous deeds, yet she was protected so naively?

It’s unacceptable.

Dragons birth dragons, phoenixes birth phoenixes, a mouse’s child knows how to tunnel.

She should be as sinister and ruthless as the dog Emperor.

Time flew by, and in a blink, the Seventh Princess grew into a graceful young lady.

With the help of the Sect Leader of Hongmeng Gate, my mother had long escaped and became the new Sect Leader within a mere three years.

I set fire to the abandoned Cold Palace where I had been imprisoned for twelve years.

Threw in the chosen lucky one, becoming my substitute.

Three years later, I, under the identity of Ying Ce, slowly stepped into the Great Xia Court.

The Great Xia Emperor was a lecherous ghost, regardless of gender, as long as they were beautiful, they were his possessions.

And I had changed to a more handsome face long before.

The dog Emperor trusted me tremendously.

I heard the temperament of the Seventh Princess grew increasingly strange.

Until one day, as I walked out of the dog Emperor’s sleeping palace,

I saw that girl whipping the man called Lord He in the back garden.

No one knew he was Xiliang country’s only bloodline from years ago.

But that little princess recognized him at a glance.

She had always tried to prove he was that little brother from back then.

But all the marks on his body had long been erased.

But what of it, it didn’t hinder her from seeking favor and flirting in the slightest.

She would not allow any woman near me, even if that person was her mother-consort.

Yet she would never know, I won’t fall in love with her, nor with anyone in this world.

I already had someone in my heart.

Only, that girl did not exist on this Qingxuan Continent.

Later, urgent news came from the front, Bianliao, relying on the Wolf Clan’s army, defeated Great Xia in one stroke.

I was pleased.

After all, it was nothing but a dog-fight.

But from what I knew, that Mighty General of Bianliao was a talented man, yet loyal to Bianliao, never to easily be used by me.

That day, the Seventh Princess came again.

Brought along her male favorite, trying to stir a ripple in my heart.

Yet I only found it laughable, my heart filled with disgust.

Everyone knew the Seventh Princess as the greatest beauty of Great Xia, rumored that during the years of my absence, she bewitched any man with her beauty and power.

Some said she was a Demoness, born to enchant men.

At that time, I had a thought, to rid myself of this disgusting and troublesome woman, and to bring that so-called War God of Bianliao into my fold.

A month later, the dog Emperor received a petition from Bianliao agreeing to a marriage alliance.

The dog Emperor was vexed over the choice of the person for the marriage alliance.

I gave indirect suggestions, eventually deciding that the Seventh Princess should go for the marriage alliance.

She wept with pearly tears, begged me to take her away from Great Xia, claiming all the courtesans in the Princess Mansion were just playthings, that she remained pure, waiting for him.

I used some illusion technique, after successfully brainwashing her, finally sending her off in the marriage sedan.

I also knew Lord He held a grudge against her.

Yet so what?

She should fall from her high pedestal, watching her suffer, watching her struggle, only satisfied me.

Wasn’t she the most favored princess of the dog Emperor?

Then let her live worse than death.

After all, I once lived worse than a dog.

However, the development of events exceeded my expectations.

The Seventh Princess was not only adored by the War God General of Bianliao but seemed to have forgotten what I expected of her.

Even according to the news I obtained, the Seventh Princess’s personality made a huge shift, completely different from her days in Great Xia.

I was perplexed, wanting to see it for myself.

Yet who would have thought this sight would sink me into an endless abyss...

At the age of seven, I nearly met my end as the life-saving medicine arrived too late.

That time, my soul wandered into another world.

There was a prosperity unknown to Qingxuan Continent.

Tall buildings, bustling roads, I walked aimlessly on those miraculous streets, finding that none of the pedestrians could see me.

Moreover, their clothing was very bizarre, women even revealed their thighs, nearly wanting to be dressed in only a bellyband.

The men’s hair was cut extremely short too.

I wandered into a place filled with laughter and joy, where children seemed to be happy.

I wanted to sit on the spinning horse, but frightened a child to tears.

I realized that besides young children, no one else could see me.

The frightened child would cry for their mother.

I watched as those children were embraced by their mothers, suddenly longing for my mother, whom I barely saw once a year.

Back then, I resented her, not knowing what she had sacrificed for me.

Yet, facing this unfamiliar otherworld, I found myself longing for that woman for the first time.

I curled up in a corner, trying to sleep.

Perhaps, once awake, I could go home.

Just then, a little girl’s sweet soft voice echoed by my ear, "Why are you here alone, are you cold? Hungry? Where are your mommy and daddy?"
