Atop the hall, Emperor Zhou Ye Chengtian was also furious.
"Beiming, what exactly is going on?" Upon learning that the Crown Prince was seriously injured, his Magic Soul destroyed, and even his life hanging by a thread, Emperor Zhou Ye Chengtian grew extremely anxious.
Ye Chengtian had indescribable feelings towards Ye Beiming, who greatly resembled the deceased Empress Li.
However, in recent years his bravery in battle and significant progress in martial arts could not but earn Ye Chengtian’s respect.
The injury of the Crown Prince and the unknown whereabouts of Chen Lianlian, all while Ye Beiming remained unharmed, raised suspicions in the Emperor of Great Zhou.
After being questioned, Ye Beiming then disclosed the matter of the Crown Prince hiring civilian Hunter Soldiers to search for Purple Ginseng in Luoxia City.
To avoid implicating the Sky Hunting Corps, Ye Beiming simply stated that he hired a few accompanying Hunter Soldiers and followed due to concerns for the Crown Prince’s safety.
What the Emperor and Empress are most concerned about at the moment is the injury of Crown Prince Ye Beilian.
All the Imperial Physicians in the palace have been summoned, including the Imperial Doctor from Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
Several of the best doctors of Great Zhou have gathered in the palace, but still, no effective remedy has been found.
"Beiming King, you said going to Luoxia City was the Crown Prince’s wish. Given his royal status and prestige, how could you let only a third-rate Hunting Corps escort him!" Empress Qi sat next to Emperor Zhou, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of loathing.
Ye Beiming looked at Empress Qi with biting irony: "Just as the Empress said, he is the Crown Prince, and his commands are not for someone like me, a mere subject, to defy. To do so would be a crime of insolence."
"Empress, do not get agitated. People have been sent to call the Great National Doctor. As long as he arrives, the illness of the Crown Prince will certainly be cured," Emperor Zhou soothingly reassured Empress Qi, deviating from his majestic demeanor usual in court.
The two of them, childhood sweethearts and spouses for decades, still share a love as fresh as ever,
Yet this scene, witnessed by Ye Beiming, was full of unbearable irony.
This good man, who showed such affection towards Empress Qi both in public and in private, never once showed a trace of care in front of him and his mother.
Ye Beiming, even to this day, remembered clearly.
He once believed that his father and mother had also shared a time of loving affection.
An elder palace maid who served Empress Li in earlier years said that due to disturbances on the borders of Great Zhou, Emperor Zhou would often spend nights in Empress Li’s palace, discussing state affairs with her.
But not long after Empress Li conceived Ye Beiming, the Chief of Dharma Temple came to the palace to pray for the ancestors of Great Zhou and upon seeing Empress Li, he inexplicably proclaimed that she was carrying a demon wreaking havoc on the world.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou ordered Empress Li to abort the child.
Empress Li adamantly refused.
Since then, Emperor Zhou’s affection for Empress Li grew increasingly cold.
Until the birth of Ye Beiming, the situation only deteriorated further.
In contrast, Beilian, the son of Empress Qi, was increasingly favored.
Until the age of three when due to a petty conflict, Empress Li pushed Consort Qi into a pond.
Emperor Zhou then confined Empress Li to the Forbidden Palace; though young, Ye Beiming knew the Forbidden Palace was a merciless place, and he clung to his father’s knees pleading.
The pitiful cries of the child did not move Emperor Zhou.
Ye Beiming could not see Emperor Zhou’s expression then, but he vividly remembered the coldness in his voice.
He kicked Ye Beiming away with one foot, a child of merely three or four years, his bones still frail, felt as though all his bones shattered at that moment.
"Blame only yourself for being a calamitous child; you were not meant to exist in this world, if your mother wants to protect you, that will be her only outcome too."
Calamitous child or not, he has now grown up. In recent years, he has killed multiple Blood Cloud Beasts and no longer does anyone dare call him a calamitous child.
The events accompanying the Crown Prince were also relayed to Emperor Zhou, and upon learning that the Summoner from Penglai Country was involved, Empress Qi couldn’t do anything against Ye Beiming either.
Just as Empress Qi was about to burst into tears, someone came to report: "Xia Wenxu from the Temple of Law has come to pay his respects."
Upon hearing that someone from the Temple of Law had arrived, Empress Qi’s worry turned into joy.
"It truly is a blessing from heaven for my son, they are from the Temple of Law, please invite him quickly," as if seeing a lifesaver, Empress Qi’s expression suddenly brightened.
This trip failed to find the Spiritual Medicine Purple Ginseng, which meant that the Crown Prince’s situation was more perilous than fortunate.
But if the Temple of Law was willing to help, that would be a different matter altogether.
Legend has it that the magic of the Main Temple could revive the dead, but even the Royal Family found it difficult to request the Temple of Law’s assistance.
Xia Wenxu is a well-known Junior Fate of the Temple of Law on the continent, not only exceptionally gifted in Magic Healing, but also quite famous in medical skills.
Upon hearing the name of the Temple of Law, Ye Beiming’s brows also took on a more solemn hue.
The Temple of Law rarely intervenes in continental affairs, so this time Xia Wenxu’s visit wouldn’t be simple.
"Xia Wenxu from the Temple of Law, following the command of my master, has come to pay respects," a voice as smooth as a spring breeze came, instantly dispersing the anxious atmosphere within the Dazhou Imperial Palace.
It was as though a ray of sunlight suddenly entered a corner enveloped by shadows.
Wearing a white robe of magic, Xia Wenxu, accompanied by two temple children, slowly stepped into the palace.
This was the first time Ye Beiming truly "saw" Xia Wenxu.
It is not the first time Ye Beiming had met Xia Wenxu, but at that time he was blind and had not noticed Xia Wenxu.
Just as the rumors from the outside world described, Temple of Law’s Si Ming, a man of Heavenly Destiny, precocious and young, carried an air just like a Banished Immortal.
Upon seeing him today, he indeed lived up to his reputation.
Rumors say he already reached the Sky Realm as a Sky Mage.
Yet, there was no hint of a Magic Wave around him, truly having achieved the mastery of controlling Magic Power at will.
The people from the Main Temple are not required to show obeisance to the Huang Family, Xia Wenxu did not kneel, but simply nodded respectfully towards the Emperor and Empress.
"You are a distinguished disciple of Ji Siming, please come quickly, my son has hope now," Empress Qi swept away her sadness, straightened her attire, and immediately led Xia Wenxu to the inner palace.
Xia Wenxu also noticed Ye Beiming to the side.
A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Emperor Beiming of Dazhou, who over the past year, has become famous across several nations on the continent for hunting the Blood Cloud Beast.
Originally, one would expect that this young man, who grew up bathed in hatred and bloodshed, would be filled with murderous aura; however, seeing him today, one cannot help but take a second look.
Beiming King in his youthful splendor, has a breathtakingly handsome appearance, just by looking at his facade, it is hard to imagine that he could kill dozens of Blood Cloud Beasts.
Xia Wenxu’s gaze moved further down, but what concerned him most were Ye Beiming’s eyes.
These were the eyes that back then, even his master could not restore with Light Magic.
"Si Ming Xia, please go save the Prince," Ye Beiming lifted his eyes.
Gray pupils met gold pupils, and seeing those eyes, Xia Wenxu felt a sudden throb in his forehead; he suddenly had the urge to examine the fate of the man before him.
