Volume 2: Awakening Memories ☆ Light of Dawn Chapter 15: Southern Dragon Vein

  "Chang Li invited him to sit down, and the princess arrived soon after."

  Han Zhong led Xu Tianba to the front hall, where the maids had already set out tea and refreshments. The orchid flowers in the garden were in full bloom, filling the air with their delicate fragrance that wafted into the hall, a unique and pleasant scent.

  "Thanks for your hard work, Housekeeper Han." Chang Li Hou Xu Tian Bao, although he had a high opinion of himself, was not a brainless person. He was able to make a name for himself in the southern region and gain a reputation without having some abilities.

  He can secretly spread rumors and ruin Yixin's reputation. As long as no one catches any evidence, the blame won't fall on his head.

  The War King's Manor is no ordinary place, whether he likes it or not, some temperaments must be restrained here, after all, the Night Country is not the Southern Country, where one can cover the sky with one hand.

  "The old slave does not dare." Han Zhong's face wore a smile, his black eyes revealing no emotion, standing respectfully to the side, quietly waiting for Yixin's arrival.

  The king had ordered early on that regarding the matter of Chang Li Hou, whatever the queen said was what would be done, and whatever the queen wanted to do would be done. Their job was simply to listen and obey.

  Even the Emperor has sent word ahead of time, and it's all up to the Queen to decide.

  "It's been over a month since I arrived in the Night Country, and I still haven't had the chance to see the War King's majesty with my own eyes. I wonder if I'll have the opportunity today." The Night Emperor has seven sons, and apart from the Crown Prince, only Ye Juechen was conferred the title of Imperial Prince, which shows just how important he is in the Night Emperor's heart.

  "Hui Chang left yesterday, the king had already gone out of the city and has not returned yet." The voice was calm and composed, answering exactly as Ye Jue had instructed, Han Zhong's response was flawless.

  "It's like that, so I won't force it." Without Ye Wu Xue being present, he could speak more freely and get what he wanted.

  The brief conversation came to an end, and the hall was very quiet. Xǔ Tiān Bà did not speak again.

  Half an hour slipped away quietly, and the tea in his hand had been changed cup after cup. Even someone with a very good temper couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.

  Moreover, this has yet to be seen by Yixin, and it is as if Changli Hou Xian had been given a warning.

  "The princess has just recovered from a long illness, perhaps she got up a bit late. I'll go take a look, please wait for a moment, sir." Han Zhong bowed slightly and withdrew from the front hall.

  Through the corridor, turn into the garden, come out from the backyard to the front hall, this is the nearest way, the princess will definitely pass by here, and he waits patiently.

  He recalled Chang's gloomy and depressed appearance, having an urge but unable to vent it, which almost caused him internal injury.

  The princess's gift is indeed extraordinary.

  "What's wrong, Princess?"

  She stepped down from the Lanxue Bridge, her heart filled with resentment as she looked up at the sky, let out a sneeze, and rubbed her small nose, wondering who was talking about her behind her back, making it impossible for her to walk in peace.

  "It's nothing, just my nose is a bit itchy."

  "I reckon that Chang Li is getting impatient, it's time to let him wait properly." Not a single good thing about the Xus, and the Empress Xu in the palace is a demon.

  Xue Xi lowered her head and bit her lip, her life was saved by the Fourth Prince, she had sworn to protect the Ninth Princess with her own life, but the princess had already married into Ye Country, did they still not want to let go of the princess?

  "A guest is a guest, we can't lose our manners." She casually patted Xue Qi's shoulder, and she understood her thoughts.

  "Understood, Princess."

  "Xue Xi, don't think too much, with the king here, no one dares to bully the queen." Mei Jing didn't believe that anyone would dare to be presumptuous in the Wang King's mansion and dare to speak disrespectfully to the queen.

  "Let's go." She is no longer the Ninth Princess of Nanguo, but a powerful Queen of War with a strong backing. Who dares to touch her hair in Ye Guo?

  Half a time ago, Sun Ayi suddenly approached her and said that she had something to tell her privately. This conversation lasted for half a time, otherwise, Yixin would have seen Chang Li Hou earlier and even sent him away.

  The dragon vein of the southern country was actually in her hands.

  No wonder Empress Xu couldn't tolerate her and wished she were dead.

  The most ridiculous thing is that Nan Huang was completely unaware of the dragon pulse from start to finish, truly stupid to the extreme.

  、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

  "Mother, can't it wait until I see Chang Li Hua come back and then we'll talk?"

  If it weren't for the fact that Sun's expression was abnormal, her eyes flashing and hesitating, Yi Xinxin would have definitely stuck to her own opinion and wouldn't have immediately listened to what she had to say.

  She took a deep look at Yixin, gritted her teeth, steeled herself, and knelt heavily to the ground. Since Empress Yu had already sent her own brother here, it must be certain that the thing was in the hands of the princess in the Gongzhong Palace.

  Originally, she would have told Yixin about the matter, relying on her cleverness, and definitely wouldn't let Xu Tianba notice anything. But if she didn't say anything, it would only expose more, and attract the killing intent to herself.

  "What are you doing, Nanny? Get up quickly." Sun Nanny's actions really scared Yixin's heart.

  "Your Highness, listen to me and remember these words. Don't mention them to anyone in the future, not even your husband, General Wang."

  Although Ye Juechen was very good to the princess, spending every moment by her side and taking care of her personally, eventually the day would come when the princess would leave Ye Guo and return to her own home, just as she murmured in her sleep.

  Realizing the severity of the situation, Yixin didn't say anything else. Her sparkling eyes stared at her, unable to imagine what secrets this body she occupied still held.

  "You speak, I listen."

  "When the Empress Dowager was alive, Empress Xu did not dare to lay hands on Princess Consort, who was also the former Imperial Noble Consort, although they were at odds with each other everywhere, but she didn't get any benefit from it."

  Sun Aunt seemed to have fallen into a deep memory, her face full of wrinkles with rich expressions, either joyful or sad, or indignant, and Yixin had never seen her so out of control.

  Until the Empress Dowager passed away, Empress Yu openly took action against Imperial Noble Consort and suppressed her everywhere. First, she framed Imperial Noble Consort with treason and rebellion, except for Imperial Noble Consort's family. Later, she poisoned Imperial Noble Consort bit by bit until she died. Then, one after another, she took action against the Fourth Prince and Princess, she wanted to eliminate them completely.

  "What happened afterwards?" In the memories she had received, her memories of the Empress Dowager were very vague. She must have been only a few years old at that time.

  "The emperor, being keen on imperial power, could not tolerate the rebellion of his empress's family members. He was furious with Empress Guo and not only stripped her of her title, demoting her to a lower rank, but also never saw her again until the day she died."

  "What does this have to do with what you want to say to me?" Every time Sun Auntie spoke, Yixin's heart tightened a little more, it was the instinctive reaction of this body, her pain, anger and despair were like invisible toxins that pierced into her soul, making her feel as if she had experienced them herself.

  "The Empress Dowager left in an unusual manner, and as she was dying, she held the hand of Imperial Noble Consort and handed her something - the key to unlocking the Dragon Pulse of the Southern Country." Sun Shunü's hands trembled as she took out a delicate silk pouch from her bosom and placed it in Yixin's hand. She continued, "This secret is only known by me and Imperial Noble Consort, and the next day, the Empress Dowager passed away."

  Open the box, a seven-color crystal necklace quietly lay in the brocade box, dazzling seven-color light shines brightly, beauty is beyond compare.

  "This necklace is the key to open the underground palace where the dragon pulse is located, and the imperial concubine handed it over to me before her death, telling me to keep it safe until the princess grows up and hands it over to you personally."

  "Why give it to me and not to my brother?"

  "Because only Her Highness the Princess can unlock the secret in the necklace."
