Unfortunately, her maternal family’s power has diminished over the years, and as she ages, she finds it increasingly difficult to retain the Emperor’s favor. Back then, Ying Yue was pregnant for nine months and in good health; as long as she gave birth to the child in her womb, he would be the first grandson of the Royal Family, and Crown Prince Li Cheng’s position would become even more secure. Empress Su, upon learning this, secretly took action. During Ying Yue’s childbirth, she bled profusely, unable to stop the hemorrhage, and the child was already long suffocated by the time it was born, yet it was a full-term baby boy. "Empress Dowager, why have you kept these matters from me?" Crown Prince Li Cheng, after hearing this, felt as if the world was spinning, never imagining that his Crown Princess Consort and son were killed by Empress Su and her son. Ying Yue was his first wife, and their temperaments were compatible. The couple shared a deep bond and affection. "Had I not kept it from you, wouldn’t you have fought to the death with Empress Su? When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. If you dislike Yun Sheng’s appearance, you are entirely free to take concubines. Her medical skills can help you deal with Empress Su and her son, and ensure that your concubines bear offspring. Just for this alone, she surpasses Xuan Meimei. That Crown Prince of Beiming is indeed fortunate," Empress Min said with a hint of envy. Crown Prince Li Cheng fell silent for a moment; he understood Empress Min’s implication. This time, Empress Min’s sudden poisoning—if not for a fortunate coincidence, it was likely that after her death, his life would become even more difficult. Having learned the truth, Crown Prince Li Cheng’s resentment towards Li Shao and his son deepened, but after experiencing his mother’s poisoning and the way Empress Su’s mother and son monopolized power, Crown Prince Li Cheng had also grown wiser. Suddenly he remembered the person Yun Sheng had mentioned to him before. "Empress Dowager, in fact, there is another matter I wish to report. Just now, Divine Doctor Yun spoke to me about cooperating with Beiming King," Li Cheng said in a low voice. Empress Min was initially surprised upon hearing this, but then she understood: "Beiming King’s fiancée saved my life; according to etiquette, you should prepare a gift to express our gratitude." "Beiming King, a thank-you gift from Tang Yuan’s Crown Prince Li Cheng," Ye Beiming suddenly received a gift inside Wu Xuan Wuji Hall. Tang Yuan’s Li Cheng? For Ye Beiming, the name was somewhat unfamiliar. He is a Prince of leisure, holding no office at court, and hence had little to do with envoys or princes from other nations. It was only recently that he had robbed Second Prince Li Shao of Tang Yuan of a shipment of Purple Gold ore on the road. Yet, Ye Beiming was convinced that, no matter what, Li Shao would never know that it was he, the nameless former Crown Prince of Great Zhou, who had stolen his ore. "This King has no dealings with Tang Yuan, and there is no need for thank-you gifts. Throw it away," Ye Beiming answered coldly. "But the sender says this gift concerns your future bride, the Divine Doctor Yun." About Little Wildcat? Ye Beiming’s handsome brows lifted slightly. Little Wildcat actually went to Tang Yuan? Wasn’t she supposed to be in Dihong City? He ordered the thank-you gift to be brought in and received a letter of regard from Tang Yuan’s Crown Prince Li Cheng. The letter was written personally by Li Cheng, explaining that when Yun Sheng passed through Tang Yuan, she was ambushed and, by chance, saved Empress Min of Tang Yuan, receiving the title Great Tang National Hand. Seeing the word "ambushed," Ye Beiming’s expression changed slightly. In the lines written by Crown Prince Li Cheng, the insinuations pointed towards Tang Yuan’s Li Shao as the attacker. Li Shao again, Ye Beiming slightly pursed his thin lips, a chilling murderous intent flashing across his brows. Yet as soon as he saw the name "Yun Sheng," the murderous intent vanished as quickly as it came, like the first rays of sun after the rain, and a mischievous smile spread across the fox’s face. Little Wildcat, acknowledging in front of others that she was his fiancée? Though it was not without the implication of using him as a shield, Ye Beiming nevertheless found it exceedingly satisfying. This Little Wildcat, always up to no good. It seems Li Shao has also infuriated her, leading to her lazily throwing the problem over to him. No matter, those who offend his little fiancée will not escape the destiny of "death," sooner or later. Tangyuan Country, huh... the stronghold of the Magic Temple. Sooner or later, he intended to swallow up Tangyuan too, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet. Since Little Wildcat has spoken, even if Crown Prince Li Cheng is cowardly and incompetent, he too could make Crown Prince Li Cheng the puppet Emperor of Tangyuan. In Ye Beiming’s hand, a surge of dark magic element pulsated, and the letter from Li Cheng immediately turned into a wisp of blue smoke. Li Cheng brought news of Yun Sheng, to Ye Beiming’s delight, yet it also stirred some annoyance. Not seeing Little Wildcat for a while, she’s been running around the continent. At the end of the letter, Crown Prince Li Cheng mentioned that Yun Sheng and the others were going to Xianju. They’re probably looking for the Life Water. Ye Beiming immediately understood the situation, suspecting that something must have happened in Dihong City for Yun Sheng to change her mind and head to Xianju. Too reckless, Ye Beiming couldn’t help but feel somewhat angry. Xianju Country, it’s not a place people can just visit on a whim. Although the Elf Clan loves peace, they are also the race that despises the Human Clan the most on the continent. But with Little Wildcat’s intelligence, coupled with Rich Man Gold, the problem shouldn’t be too big. However... the distance between Xianju Country and Great Zhou, thousands of miles apart, back and forth, even with a Flying Magical Beast, would take two months. If there are any delays in between, it’s feared they might miss the selection period for the Mainland Magic Elite Camp. This matter, he hasn’t yet had the chance to inform Yun Sheng. He and Yun Sheng, because of the Magic Soul, have developed an inexplicable bond, allowing their thoughts to resonate with one another. However, there is a prerequisite for that, which is that both parties are willing. Last time in the Earth Core Melt Cave, after accidentally catching a glimpse of Little Wildcat in disarray, she showed utter disdain, expressing strongly that if Ye Beiming dared to resonate with her thoughts rashly again, she would not let him off. Even though he quite likes it when Little Wildcat occasionally loses her cool and goes on the offensive, Ye Beiming is still not keen on arguing with Yun Sheng. It seems he can only wait until she decides to contact him to tell her this news. After leaving Biantang, Yun Sheng removed the Disguise Magic from herself. This time, Li Shao’s ambush turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Armed with the title of Great Tang National Doctor, Yun Sheng’s subsequent journey crossing through Tangyuan went quite smoothly. Crown Prince Li Cheng even arranged the best inns along the way for their accommodations. This gave Yun Sheng the feeling that she wasn’t heading to Xianju for the life-threatening quest for Life Water, but more like she was on a vacation trip. Furthermore, she could clearly perceive that something was off between Yuan Bupo and Xuan Meimei. Xuan Meimei’s level of resentment towards her had significantly increased, as though Yun Sheng had slaughtered her entire family. As for Yuan Bupo, it was the exact opposite, his attentiveness towards her had clearly gone beyond what was normal for friends. For instance, during meals, he incessantly served her food; early in the morning, he would play the flute outside her room. "Yun Sheng, what would you like to hear? I will play it all for you," Yuan Bupo said, batting his eyes.
