"This is your and my first child, so naturally we must take it seriously!"

"Go back and rest. I'll come see you soon!"

After Ye Liming's repeated explanations, Su Wan'er had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back.

After they had gone far away, Eunuch Song closed the door.

"Bang!" The teacup turned to powder in Ye Liming's hand, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger: "This is outrageous!"

Eunuch Song carefully wiped the dust off his hands with a handkerchief: "Your Majesty, you must not hurt yourself!"

"Those two, father and daughter, are truly treacherous and ambitious. It's a good thing that Prime Minister Su has no son, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the sun every day!"

"Your Majesty must not say such things about yourself."

"One day, the Emperor and the Prince of Anyang will surely bulldoze them, and then the Emperor will no longer need to worry!"

Speaking of Ye Lisheng, he felt quite comforted, as she had shared a lot of his worries over the years.

Prime Minister Su had been secretly cultivating relationships with powerful figures in the court, and in order to eradicate them completely, Ye Liming and his son had to pretend to be filled with hatred.

This is to distract them and lower their guard.

After a long silence, Eunuch Song finally voiced his long-held doubts, asking, "Your Majesty, this old servant has a question, but I don't know if I should speak of it?"

He had been serving Ye Liming since before Ye Liming ascended the throne, remaining loyal to Ye Liming and showing great affection for Ye Lisheng.

"Speak your mind, Eunuch Song. There's no need for such formalities between you and me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"If someone finds the imperial edict and the imperial seal, will Your Majesty really hand over the throne to them?"

Ye Liming smiled smugly and said, "Do you really think it will fall into someone else's hands?"

"But isn't the Imperial Seal with the Celestial Master?"

Speaking of Wangqiaochuan, Ye Liming always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He just felt that this person was somewhat sinister.

"Do you remember when the Celestial Master came to Lingqi?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Gonggong's memory seemed to return to the very beginning.

"This old servant remembers that His Majesty ascended the throne just as the Celestial Master arrived!"

Ye Liming nodded and said, "I remember that the Celestial Master is about the same age as me. Now I'm starting to grow black hair, but why hasn't the Celestial Master changed at all?"

"It's exactly the same as before!"

"That's really true!"

Ye Liming added, "Since the Celestial Master went into seclusion, I have seen him less and less."

...

Inside the dimly lit Celestial Master's Mansion, Wang Qiaochuan looked at the large clump of black hair lying on the ground and couldn't help but feel flustered.

Ever since the spider lilies began to wither, Wangqiaochuan has been in a great predicament.

Not only have they lost the qualifications to become a Celestial Master, but they are also aging at a visible rate.

"I wonder if Mo Sheng has found her yet."

Just then, a black crow flew back from a great distance. If you looked closely, you would see that the crow's eyes were emitting a dark green light.

Wang Qiaochuan opened his palm, and a crow landed on it, its sharp beak pecking a gash in his hand, causing blood to flow immediately.

He closed his eyes and the scenes that happened after Mo Sheng arrived at Lingqi appeared before his eyes.

His face grew increasingly pale, and finally, after withdrawing his hand, the crow fell to the ground!

"I never expected him to be so bold as to defy me!"

"It seems I have no choice but to make a trip to Lanyi!"

...

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing, carrying some fine sand with it.

A carriage slowly made its way towards Lanyi Palace.

Inside the carriage, a delicate hand lifted the curtain to look at the people coming and going outside!

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw several soldiers holding up my portrait and questioning me!

I was so startled that I quickly pulled the curtain down.

Xiao Liu covered his mouth and chuckled, "Sister Qiu Kui, you're such a coward."

"With His Highness the Crown Prince here, what are you afraid of?"

I was so angry that I flicked him on the forehead. He covered his head and looked at me with a wronged expression, saying, "What are you doing?"

"They really have no respect for their elders."

"Besides, you should call me Young Master Liuyue now!"

He rolled his eyes at me defiantly and said, "He's only three years older than me!"

"Being three years older than you is still being older!"

"Alright, you two stop arguing, we're almost in the city!" Nangong Liuli said, stopping them.

Now I am dressed in white, my hair is tied up high with a ribbon, and my appearance has been temporarily changed with a potion specially made by Nangong Liuli!

Now I look every bit the dashing young master!

"Halt!" The guards at the gate stopped our carriage!

My heart started pounding wildly, like it was about to jump out of my throat!

"How dare you! You dare to block His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage?" Xiao Liu shouted as he lifted the curtain and stepped down from the carriage!

"The Crown Prince?" The guards at the gate were clearly incredulous.

"How dare you! Do you think you can impersonate His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"What? Do you want me, the Crown Prince, to get off the carriage myself?"

A voice came from inside the car, and the two guards, sensing something was wrong, became somewhat hesitant and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"

Xiao Liuzi revealed the gold medal, and everyone who saw it was so frightened that they knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please forgive us, we were blind to your greatness!"

Xiao Liu stood tall with a proud look on his face!

"Can we go now?" he asked.

"Open the gate! Open the city gate quickly!"

Just as they were about to enter, they heard Saren's voice say, "Your Majesty, I was unaware of Your Highness's return to the palace and failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
