The conspiracy (1)

The emperor of Qin state Qin Wushuang was proud of his son but he knew that with the ministers and princes pushing for the marriage alliance it was now impossible for Tai Jian to inherit the throne of Qin state because he was marrying the princess of another state as his official wife which means that in the future if Tai Jian were to be the emperor then she would be the empress.

.............Meanwhile in the flower realm.......

A woman was seen sitting cross-legged on top of a lotus. The woman's beauty was incomparable and calling her beautiful was the same as calling her ugly. No one could even compliment her as she was at a loss of word. The woman's eyes were closed as she was deep in meditation." Master,the former emperor has already descended to the mortal realm to face his tribulation and to nurture the power of chaos. Everything is ready and we are awaiting your orders. The phoenix empress also came for a visit," a lady reported. The lady wore golden robes that had a lotus emblem. The woman was the flower goddess and the current ruler of the flower realm while the woman who was meditating on the lotus was known as the goddess of mercy and the former empress of the flower realm. She was of the ancient era. The era of Taiyi's parents. She was probably one of the few remaining ancient gods of that era. After listening to the report her closed eyes snapped open. The flower goddess instantly lowered her eyes ams did not dare to maintain eye contact with the goddess of peace." The plan is now at the last phase. How is the chaotic lotus faring?" The goddess of peace asked in a deep voice." Master,the lotus has reached maturity and is gaining sentience. As long as it merges the power of chaos into it,the plan will be successful," the flower goddess said. The peace goddess nodded her head as she stared at the beautiful night sky." Haaah! How many people will successfully pass this expedition?" The peace goddess said with a heavy voice and a deep sigh. The flower goddess swiftly withdrew when she saw her master in deep thought.

.................

No one knew of the upcoming surge in the heavenly realm and the progenitor of all of this was now living peacefully in the mortal realm trying to comprehend the meaning of chaos in the mortal realm while experiencing the seven desires of the mortal realm. The marriage alliance was swiftly accepted by both the two states and the news of the princess being a cripple was announced to the citizens of both nations. The citizens if Qin were angered by this especially when they heard that their war god was going to marry a cripple. In the martial arts world,anyone who had their cultivation abolished was considered a cripple. On hearing that the princess was a cripple the ministers of Qin state pushed for Tai Jian to cripple his martial arts. With all the ministers joining the fray the emperor was instantly put in a tight spot so Tai Jian decided to help his father by crippling himself by abolishing his martial arts further adding to his severe injuries that had yet to heal. After crippling his martial arts it did not take long for the news to spread and various rumours accompanied the news. Some said that when Tai Jian heard that his lover,the princess of heaven battling state had her cultivation crippled he decided to cripple his own cultivation. Tai Jian's fame in the capital experienced a catastrophic drop and he was scorned and humiliated everywhere. Even the maids in the palace gossiped about him. The other princes were even worst and they took this chance to deal a heavy blow to Tai Jian. On the day of the wedding,the princess,Tie Hongchen was ambushed and was injured leading to her falling unconscious. Tai Jian knee that this had something to do with his brothers so he immediately stormed into his eldest brother's palace and had a decisive battle with him. He did this to send them a warning." Even without my martial arts don't think that I am vulnerable. If any of you dares to mess with me then don't blame for taking action against you. This was only a warning that I am giving you. If any of you dares to touch her again,I will destroy your palaces and no one will stop me," Tai Jian arrogantly announced as he proudly strode out of his brother's compound together with his guard. That day he did not return to his palace rather he delivered himself to the palace custodian and reported his crimes after which he placed himself in prison." Majesty. Majesty! Bad news! Bad news!" The old eunuch announced as he rushed into the palace and bowed before the emperor." What is it? Can't you see that I am busy?" The emperor asked." Majesty. This is urgent. His highness the crown prince is severely wounded," the eunuch announced. "Bang!" The emperor hit his table as he stood up." Who dares to injure the crown prince of my Qin state? Does he put me in his eyes?" The emperor furiously asked." Your majesty please calm your anger, " the eunuch pleaded. "Speak. Who did it?" The emperor asked." His highness Tai Jian," the eunuch replied hesitantly. The emperor squinted his eyes when he heard this." Are you joking with me? How can a cripple without martial arts injure the crown prince?" The emperor asked as he stared at the eunuch." Your majesty,I dare not lie to you. It is indeed his highness who did it. He said he was taking revenge for his wife," the eunuch announced." What a joke. It seems I have indulged too much. Let him kneel outside the ancestral hall for a week ," the emperor said furiously. Hearing the punishment that Tai Jian was given made the eunuch lips to twitch. How could he not know that the emperor was just protecting Tai Jian by giving him such a lenient punishment
