Lin Xinyue was shocked to realize this grand conspiracy wasn't just targeting her master, but posed a dire threat to the entire Longyan Kingdom.
An alliance between the Aduo Chai Kingdom and the Black Cloud Kingdom had been formed, with over sixty divisions of their military marching directly toward the borders of the Longyan Kingdom.
Despite this, the Longyan Kingdom stood as the preeminent power in the known world, bolstered by the presence of its guardian general, the War God, Jiang Zhennan.
Even with a force of 600,000 soldiers, the two invading nations knew that overthrowing the Longyan Kingdom would be a monumental task.
Consequently, they set their sights on one specific target: Yuelan.
Indeed, it was her master.
As the princess of the Guguo within the Longyan Kingdom, her master held a position of profound importance and commanded immense respect among the common folk. Moreover, she was the devoted wife of Jiang Zhennan.
It was common knowledge across the realm that Jiang Zhennan cherished his wife above all else, valuing her life as his own.
Thus, determined to secure victory, they sought to exploit Jiang Zhennan’s singular weakness, which was none other than her master.
The Emperor of the Black Clouds Kingdom had once used a pledge made five years prior to lure her master into his territory, intending to imprison her, but her master had managed to narrowly evade capture.
Lin Xinyue never anticipated that her own father and brother would eventually reach out to her.
The motive was transparent. She was a princess of the Aduo Chai Kingdom, the cherished daughter of the royal couple and the beloved sister of her kin, and she could not simply stand by as the kingdom crumbled and its people were reduced to slaves.
For any member of royalty, the fate of being conquered and enslaved was truly unbearable.
Naturally, Lin Xinyue could not let the land that raised her fall into ruin, nor could she witness her family suffer this shameful fate. Under the persuasive urgings of her third brother, she eventually yielded to their scheme.
Although she aligned herself with their ultimate objective, she disapproved of their specific tactics.
Those in the kingdoms below failed to grasp the true extent of her master’s capabilities, but having served alongside Lin Yuelan for several years, how could she be so oblivious?
Kidnapping Lin Yuelan’s children from the heavily guarded Lin Garden was an impossible feat.
Therefore, her only window of opportunity was the moment her master gave birth, when she would be at her most physically vulnerable.
She was intimately aware that those children were the center of Jiang Zhennan’s world.
Perhaps it was fate that intervened. During the labor, a female assassin suddenly appeared, attempting to strike her master. While the assassination ultimately failed, the intense struggle drained much of the master’s stamina. At the most critical moment, she was tasked with preparing hot brown sugar water for her mistress.
As she boiled the water, she surreptitiously added a potent sedative.
This substance was designed to induce a deep and undisturbed slumber.
When she presented the drink, Lin Xinyue felt a surge of intense anxiety, terrified that her master might sense a deception. Eventually, her master looked at her with a lingering gaze and asked, "Do you genuinely wish for me to consume this?"
Lin Xinyue felt her breath hitch in her throat as her expression shifted. Caught in a whirlwind of inner turmoil, she forced a stiff, unnatural smile and replied, "Master, your body is severely depleted; you must drink this to regain your strength!"
Without further questioning, her master downed the liquid.
Fortunately, the birth of the two little masters proceeded without further complication.
When the infants were brought out, the entire household erupted in joy.
The twins were fair, soft, and possessed large, bright eyes. They were stunningly beautiful and lacked the wrinkled, red appearance of typical newborns.
They were simply too precious, too lovely, and impossible not to adore.
Every staff member who held them was reluctant to let go, their hearts filled with genuine delight.
Lin Xinyue felt much the same way.
She held the infants, playing with them repeatedly. She stared into their wide, clear eyes and watched as their tiny lips blew soft bubbles.
Nevertheless, she still drugged the nanny and seized the children the moment the opportunity presented itself.
