When Ye Jiusheng married Dongfang Ruoyun, it was a major event in the entire Dayang region.
Putting aside their identities, the mere fact that Ye Jiusheng possesses talent and that Dongfang Ruoyun is renowned as a woman of exceptional talent is enough to earn them widespread praise.
A perfect match, a match made in heaven.
Such a perfect match meant that high hopes were placed on Ye Boqi even before he was born.
The offspring of the Invincible Divine Might Marquis and the First Talented Woman of the Great Sun must be exceptionally gifted.
However, this seemingly perfect match was deeply feared by the royal family.
The marriage between the Great Sun God of War, who commands the army, and the Prime Minister, the head of the civil officials, created a powerful alliance that made the royal family feel a great crisis.
When Ye Boqi was born, the people throughout Dayang were overjoyed.
I'm happy for the Marquis, and I'm happy for them too.
The crown prince is born and will surely become the next Marquis of Divine Might, protecting the people of Dayang so that they may live in peace and prosperity.
For such a joyous occasion, the royal family sent a large amount of wealth as a gesture of congratulations.
Empress Lin Wanqing, the current empress, even brought Princess Mingyue, who was only one year old, to the Marquis's residence in person.
They verbally agreed with Dongfang Ruoyun that they would get married after they came of age.
On that day, Empress Lin Wanqing stayed at the Marquis's residence for lunch and only returned to the palace with the one-year-old Princess Mingyue at dusk.
Lin Wanqing was a daughter of the Lin family. She met Dongfang Ruoyun before she became empress.
So the lunch was a very pleasant one, and the two of them even got to the point of talking about everything and sharing a bowl of ginseng tonic soup.
Seven days after Empress Lin Wanqing's departure, Dongfang Ruoyun was poisoned.
If it weren't for Ye Jiusheng protecting her heart meridian with his powerful spiritual energy, she might have already died from the poison.
Upon hearing this, a cold smile curled at the corner of Xiao Boqi's lips.
It must have been Lin Wanqing who poisoned her mother.
I will make sure that no member of the Lin family survives, and that they pay for their crimes in blood!
...
Such a drastic change in the Azure Sky Grand Competition made Emperor Chongyang's expression extremely grim.
He was the Emperor of Dayang, the most supreme person in the entire dynasty, yet he was suffocated by the oppression of Ye Jiusheng and the Shenwei Marquis's Mansion.
This deep-seated fear and frustration—a desire to eradicate the Divine Might Marquis's mansion from the world but a reluctance to act—caused Emperor Chongyang torment every day.
As long as the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion is not eliminated, the Dayang royal family will always be in danger.
Because all the generals of Dayang regarded Marquis Shenwei as their leader, and the people of Dayang all relied on Marquis Shenwei.
This situation further strengthened Emperor Chongyang's resolve to eliminate the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion.
So eighteen years ago, he plotted to get rid of Yoshiyuki's father and his three older brothers.
With those four dead, only Xiao Jiusheng remained in the Shenwei Marquis's mansion.
At the same time, he instructed the Empress to poison Dongfang Ruoyun.
Therefore, all it takes is one opportunity to eradicate the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion.
Therefore, he planned for this every day.
However, in recent years, the surrounding countries have been constantly active, and wars have broken out one after another.
At this juncture, he could only feign compliance with Yoshiyuki and entrust him with important responsibilities.
Because within the Great Yang realm, no one can compare to Yoshihisa Mori in terms of leading troops in battle.
Only with Yoshimori leading the army can Dayang be safe and secure, and can they rely on Yoshimori to defeat the enemy army and plunder the national fortune of the enemy country.
Therefore, Emperor Chongyang endured it all.
At the same time, while Ye Jiusheng was away fighting, they began to slowly empty the Shenwei Marquis's mansion.
Leng Qiuyue's appearance was partly due to Ye Boqi's own reasons, but the support from the royal family was also a decisive factor.
Now that the wars on all sides have gradually subsided, news came from Ye Jiusheng some time ago.
They will soon defeat the enemy and return to the capital.
This was the perfect opportunity that Emperor Chongyang had been waiting for.
This is the best opportunity to eliminate the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion in one fell swoop and consolidate the position of the Dayang royal family.
Before Ye Jiusheng returns to the capital, what he needs to do is kill Ye Boqi.
He will not act directly, nor will he allow members of the royal family to do so.
What he wanted was to use the opportunity of the Sky Grand Competition to kill Xiao Boqi within the Sky Academy.
Whether it's Ye Chen, Lin Dong, or that elder from the royal family, they are all people that Emperor Chongyang would discard.
Because these people all have a great connection with the Azure Sky Academy.
With the death of Ye Boqi, Ye Jiusheng and Dongfang Zhige will surely rise up.
Their target could only be the Azure Sky Academy.
Liu Qianshan was also part of Emperor Chongyang's scheme.
Because after Ye Chen kills Yi Boqi, the Marquis's Mansion and Dongfang Zhige will definitely kill Ye Chen.
If anyone makes a move against Ye Chen, Liu Qianshan will definitely be dragged into it.
Therefore, Liu Qianshan was the real weapon that Emperor Chongyang used to deal with the Marquis's mansion.
A real, deadly knife.
As long as the war between the Divine Might Marquis's Mansion and the Azure Sky Academy begins, he can reap the benefits.
But all the calculations were overturned in an instant.
He hadn't expected that Xiao Boqi had already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
He never expected that Dongfang Zhige, who had always presented himself as a great Confucian scholar, had actually reached an astonishing level of the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
He actually managed to deceive his own senses to such an astonishing degree.
This composure and shrewdness sent chills down the spine of Emperor Chongyang.
What he didn't expect was that the extremely mysterious dean of the Sky Academy would suddenly appear.
Not only did he kill Liu Qianshan in one blow, thwarting all his backup plans, but his close relationship with Ye Boqi was also chilling.
The Azure Dragon General, who had received countless benefits from him and promised to help at the crucial moment, actually stayed behind closed doors and refused to come out.
He said he was going into seclusion and wouldn't see anyone.
