Higashi-hari Province, a small country that has been surrounded by wind and sand for many years, is located in the south of Kyoto and is mostly mountainous and hilly.

The main source of income for the state is business, exchanging its herds of cattle and sheep with other countries for daily commodities and food.

The old emperor of Dongli has always advocated friendship with various countries, and took the initiative to lead ministers to visit various countries to establish good relations and trade channels. Through his unremitting efforts, the regime of Dongli was gradually put on the right track.

However, the old emperor was getting old, and it was time for him to start thinking about his heir. There are two queens in the Eastern Fence Kingdom, Queen Tina and Queen Bashina. These two queens were originally cousins of the same clan and were elected to the palace together.

Although the two queens are from their own family, they are two different styles of beauty.

Queen Tina is gentle and kind, born with a good aura, it is said that on the day Queen Tina was born, a spiritual light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the pearl fell from the sky, that is, the night red pearl in the future, this magical phenomenon attracted the whole city to come to see the excitement, so this Queen Tina was also clothed with a trace of mystery, and was named "Queen of Heaven" by the people, and was respected and admired by the people of the whole country.

And this Queen Ba Xina, but born beautiful and charming, especially a pair of seductive eyes, who will be addicted to this when they see it, unable to extricate themselves, the beauty of this queen even the kings of the surrounding countries are fascinated, every year there are envoys to say goodbye, is a well-known beauty.

The two queens entered the palace in the same year, one was gentle and virtuous, the other was charming and lovely, and they were both deeply favored by the king.

Soon after, Queen Bashina gave birth to a son, the current prince Sanar, and the following year Queen Tina gave birth to a daughter, named Windona.

As the days passed, the old king began to send envoys to neighboring countries to establish friendly relations, and the two queens and the young son were left in the palace. The two children are growing up day by day, like brothers and sisters.

The king had been out for a few years, and although he had heard of what was happening in the palace, he did not have time to care about it. A few more years passed like this, and by the time he returned home for the last time, Queen Tina was already seriously ill and bedridden.

In the king's absence, Queen Bashina would often come to visit her, after all, they were sisters of the same clan, and they should take care of each other, which made the king very relieved when he was away. The two queens get along well and handle the public's housekeeping in an orderly manner, which also allows him to handle government affairs outside with great confidence.

Finally, the trade route for the Eastern Fence Kingdom to send foreign countries has been opened, and he can finally see his family. When he returned to the palace with great excitement, he saw Queen Tina, who was already emaciated.

"Father, you're back." Little Windona was very happy to see her father and threw herself into his arms.

"Oh, my little flowers have grown so big, how is your mother's health, take me to see it."

"My mother was sick, and the doctor said that he was very sick and that he should always lie down in bed and rest."

Little Windona didn't understand the meaning of being sick, but when she heard the doctor's words, she naively thought that her mother would get better as long as she lay down in bed and rested.

It's just that she didn't expect that her mother would lie down for ten years. The beautiful mother was suffering from illness and became more and more emaciated, often had headaches at night, and even had to rely on drugs to control her sleep, but Queen Tina never told anyone else about it, but she endured it silently.

For a whole ten years, the country of Dongli has grown stronger and stronger, not only because of the king's good rule, but also thanks to the support of Queen Tina, although she is not in good health, but she has given the king a lot of good ways to govern the country. The king was also very fond of Queen Tina, and often sent envoys from different countries to find miracle cures to heal the queen, but the results were not satisfactory.

The little flower of the past has now gradually grown up, and the little princess is gradually becoming a beautiful girl, like her mother, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, inheriting her mother's aura and appearance, and becoming a well-known aura beauty.

But her mother's health is not as good as day by day, and every day she will stay by her mother's side, tell her about the fun things that happened outside, and help him relieve his boredom.

"Duo'er, Mother has something to tell you."

"Okay, what are you going to say? Let's talk while we eat! ”

Windona handed her mother an apple, a fresh fruit that had just arrived from Kyoto in the morning, and she quickly brought it to her mother to taste.

"Duo'er, Mother wants to give you something." Queen Tina took out a brocade box from the secret compartment beside the bed.

"This, you open it and take a look."

"What a thing, so mysterious."

She opened the box, revealing a blood-red bead inside.

"Mother, what is this?"

"This is Ye Chizhu, something that my mother has brought with me since I was a child. Now I want to give it to you. ”

"Mother, isn't this bead of any special significance?" Wendona was so gifted that he could hear his mother between his words.

"Duo'er, come, mother will tell you....."

In the east fence of winter, heavy snow falls. It's been a month in a row, and the goose feather snow hasn't stopped, and the whole country has been covered in a layer of snow white.

"Sister Duo'er, I'll take you to the back mountains to hunt, I heard that there will be a lot of wild rabbits coming out of the university to find food."

"yes, then let's go Brother Sanar!"

Two men walked in the white woods with bows and arrows on their backs, and from time to time a hare or two would pop up.

"Over there, over there, brother!" Windona jumped around excitedly,

"Caught!" Sanar handed it to him with a rabbit ear, "Well, I'm not the best hunter!" ”

"Of course, my brother is the best!"

She carefully held the rabbit in her arms, "Brother, shall we take it back, this.... It should be a mother rabbit, and she is about to give birth to a baby. ”

"How do you know?"

"You see, his belly is so big, and he doesn't move quickly, it must be because she's about to give birth to a baby."

The snow-white rabbit closed her eyes in her arms and fell asleep, which surprised Sanar, the rabbit is the most timid animal, but this rabbit is not only not afraid of him, but also fell asleep in his arms, his sister may really have spiritual powers.

"Duo'er, do you want to hunt a few more rabbits and go back to raise them together?"

"No, I suppose, let them go back to the forest."

Wen Dona let go of her hand, and the white rabbit instantly opened her eyes and ran back to the woods.

"You're not going to take it back and keep it?"

"I think it's better to let them live freely, and if they are locked in a cage every day, there will be no freedom."

She raised her head and looked at him seriously, "Brother, what do you want to do in the future?" ”

"Me? Of course, he governed the country like his father! I want to be a wiser monarch than my father, and build our eastern fence stronger. ”

Sanar's ambitious look amused her, "But, ah, I want to go outside, and I don't want to stay in this palace all day." ”

She stood up and patted the snow off her body, the snow had stopped, and the blue sky was showing her head again. The warm sunlight shone through the branches to her face.

"What a warm sunshine, Brother Sanar, you see, the sun is out."

"Really, the snow has finally stopped, and if it goes down, there will be no food to eat."

"That's not good, I still have to eat sweet apples!" Windona pouted,

"Look at you, you know how to eat!" Sanar put away his bow and arrows, "Let's go, take you to eat something good!" ”

"Yay! Let's go! ”

The days passed like this, and finally, it was the year when Windona was twenty years old.

Queen Tina died in the same year because of her long illness, and the king was bedridden because he could not withstand such a heavy blow.

Queen Tina's immortal death made Windona a little unbearable, and she locked herself in her room and couldn't see anyone. I kept holding the brocade box in a daze.

Night Red Bead.... Night Red Bead.... It was the only thing her mother left her. She held the blood-red bead and looked at it over and over again. Her mother told her that this bead has a very magical power, in the hands of good people, it will save people, and in the hands of bad people, it will destroy people.

"Princess, are you there, Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince wants to see you."

"Prince?" Wen Dona wiped away her tears and walked out of the door, and saw the handmaidens kneeling tremblingly on both sides of the door, and in front of her, there was a man in a golden robe.

"You're... Sanar .... Brother.... Why...."

"Don't recognize me? Sister Doerr? ”

This person, with a cold face and a look of contempt, except that his appearance is the same as before, the rest is completely like a different person, is this person really Brother Sanar who grew up with him?

However, looking at the strange guards around her, she seemed to understand something.

"Find me something."

"Duo'er, today's Dongli is not as good as before, my father is seriously ill, and the burden of this world will naturally fall on my shoulders, today I came here in person, just to ask you, have you ever seen a blood-red bead? Or, have you seen it at your mother's? ”

"Beads? What beads? I haven't seen it. ”

"Oh?" Sanar raised an eyebrow, "But I've heard that this bead is here with your mother..."

He raised his foot and was about to go inside, but was blocked by Wen Dona, "I'm sorry Brother Sanar, my mother's bones are not cold, and I ask my brother not to disturb her for the time being." If I find what you're looking for in the future, I'll definitely send it to you. ”

"Well, don't forget, Sister Do'er." Sanar smirked wickedly and turned to leave.

"Whew...."

Wen Dona couldn't bear it anymore and sat directly on the ground.

"Princess, princess, what's wrong with you."

"What the hell is going on, why does Brother Sanar seem to be a different person?"

"Princess, during the time you were locked up in the house, the king was bedridden, and the prince controlled the entire palace, and the outside of our hall is now their eyeliner, so ..... So...."

"Okay, you don't have to say it, I got it."

She walked into the room and put the brocade box back into the secret compartment next to the bed. She really couldn't imagine that power could really change a person's character, and Brother Sanar was very gentle in the past, but now he is the same as a changed person. What's really going on these days?

After that, although she is still nominally the princess of Dongli, she has actually been vacated in her position, but she just has a false name.

"Princess, what shall we do now? Today, a few more sisters have been transferred to another palace. ”

"Xiaoxi, we still have a few henchmen left."

"Back to the princess, plus me, altogether... There are only three left...."

"That's it..."Wen Dona sat at the table in a daze, there were fewer and fewer cronies around her, and then, their spearhead was about to point at herself, no, you must find a way, this place.... It's really getting more and more dangerous.....
