Ye Zhen finally agreed to let Ming Yu become the Heavenly Princess of the Northern Dark Kingdom. However, there were still many things to do before Ming Yu ascended the throne, especially now that the palace was almost in ruins. The people of Dingdu City were frightened by the monsters and dared not go out for several days.
The news that Beitang Xuan Wei disappeared with Empress Wang also spread, but for the people of the Northern Dark Kingdom, it was no longer a surprise.
They just wanted an emperor who could protect them from danger, no matter who it was.
"Madam, there is a man surnamed Shui outside asking to see you." A servant came in and reported to Ye Zhen.
Surnamed Shui? Ye Zhen immediately knew who he was talking about. Just in time, she was looking for him. "Go and bring him in."
It was Shui Yichen who came to see Ye Zhen, and he brought Shen Luoyang with him.
Shen Luoyang was carried in a sedan chair. She seemed to be asleep, but her breathing was extremely shallow. If one did not look carefully, they would think that she was dead.
"How did she become like this?" Ye Zhen frowned and hurried to check Shen Luoyang's pulse, only to find that there was nothing wrong with her body. Apart from her weak pulse, there were no wounds.
Shui Yichen glanced at Ye Zhen. "She was like this when I found her. I went to see a doctor, but she never woke up."
Ye Zhen remembered that Shen Luoyang was captured by Ye Wei and did not know what she had done to her. "Leave her with me."
"I brought her here to ask you to cure her." Shui Yichen whispered.
"Shen Luoyang became like this because of you." Ye Zhen looked at Shui Yichen coldly. If it weren't for him, Shen Luoyang would not be like this.
Shui Yichen whispered, "I didn't expect Ye Wei to be like this …"
"You know." Shui Yichen, you are simply using Ye Wei. What do you want to do? Do you think you can unify the world by relying on Ye Wei's ability? "Ye Zhen snapped," You knew what kind of person Ye Wei was. You connived at all her evil deeds in the palace.
"I do have something to ask of her, but not to dominate the world." Shui Yichen whispered, "I told her not to hurt you."
"She can't hurt me, but she almost killed Shen Luoyang. What she did for you, even if there is no merit, is hard work." "What do you want Ye Wei to do for you? Do you know the consequences of conniving with Ye Wei to dig the underground palace?"
Shui Yichen's eyes darkened as he looked at Ye Zhen. "Yaoyao, I just want to be a little closer to you. Ye Wei told me that you and Mo Rongzhan went missing in the Xuantian Continent for the past few years. You've already practiced a cultivation technique that allows you to grow forever. I also hope to be like you …"
Ye Zhen frowned, "You want to be immortal? Are you crazy?! "
Shui Yichen smiled bitterly. He had indeed gone crazy. Ye Wei's words had made him believe that he could get closer to Yaoyao. Ye Wei was all too clear about his inner demons.
"Can you cure Shen Luoyang?" Shui Yichen asked softly.
"So you still care about Shen Luoyang." Ye Rou snorted. "What do you plan to do next?"
Shui Yichen said, "I'll go back after I send Shen Luoyang to you."
"Are you going back to the capital or Qingyuan? Do you still want to go to war with the Jin Nation?" Ye Zhen stared at Shui Yichen and asked.
"The demonic beasts are wreaking havoc. There's no need to go to war now." Shui Yichen shook his head and smiled bitterly. After the incident with Ye Wei, he knew that it was impossible for him and Ye Zhen to return to their previous relationship of fighting side by side.
The way she looked at him was filled with wariness.
"Shui Yichen." Ye Zhen said softly, "When I handed the Yuan Nation to you, I felt that you could become a true Emperor who loves his people like his own children."
"I never wanted to be an Emperor." Shui Yichen said in a low voice, "Whether you believe it or not, I just want to be by your side, no matter what my identity is."
Ye Zhen was speechless and only looked at him silently.
Shui Yichen said, "I'm going back. Only you can solve the current situation of the Dark North Kingdom. If you become the Heavenly Consort of the Dark North Kingdom, I will support you."
"I will not become the Heavenly Consort of the Dark North Kingdom." Ye Zhen said plainly, "However, if you want to invade the Dark North Kingdom, we will meet on the battlefield."
"Yaoyao, I will not cross swords with you on the battlefield." Shui Yichen said, "No one in the Ding Capital can be a threat to you. However, you still have to be careful of Qian Danqing."
"Thank you for the reminder." Ye Zhen said plainly.
Shui Yichen did not say anything more. He looked at Ye Zhen deeply, turned around and left.
After he left, Ye Zhen asked someone to carry Shen Luoyang into the house and called Mo Rongzhan over.
"… I can't see what's wrong with her. Her breathing is very shallow. It's useless to give her elixirs. She's still unconscious." Ye Zhen's eyes were full of worry, afraid that Shen Luoyang would not wake up.
"She was used by Ye Wei to cultivate the blood worm. Since she's unconscious, there might be a mother worm sucking her blood." Mo Rongzhan said plainly, "We have to lure the mother worm out of her body."
Ye Zhen's expression changed slightly. "How?"
"Use blood." Mo Rongzhan said. The blood worm needed blood to survive. "If we don't lure it out, Shen Luoyang's blood will be sucked dry."
"Then use blood." Ye Zhen's expression changed slightly. She raised her hand to take her blood.
Mo Rongzhan stopped her hand. "It's useless to use your blood. Find Mingxi."
"Mingxi's blood?" Mo Rongzhan nodded. "Mingxi's and Ming Yu's blood will do."
However, how could he bear to let Ming Yu suffer pain? Let Mingxi bleed a little.
Ye Zhen sent someone to find Mingxi.
Ming Yu also came along. She heard that Shen Luoyang was here and insisted on seeing her.
"Mother, how is General Shen?" Ming Yu asked with concern. After spending some time with Shen Luoyang, she still liked this female general very much.
"There is a mother worm in her body. We need to lure it out." Ye Zhen whispered. "Mingxi, let some blood out."
Ming Yu raised her two tender hands. "Mother, I also have blood."
"No need for yours, Mingxi's is enough." Ye Zhen held Ming Yu's hand and motioned for Mingxi to bleed.
Sons and daughters are really different.
Mingxi cut his palm and let out a small bowl of blood. Only then did he repair the wound with elixirs. "Mother, here you are."
Mo Rongzhan took it and placed it under Shen Luoyang's nose. With one hand, he injected a ray of light into her forehead.
Shen Luoyang's calm face showed a painful struggle. After a long time, a thumb-sized worm slowly crawled out of Shen Luoyang's nose. It looked very hungry, attracted by Mingxi's blood and eager to fill its stomach.
What a big blood worm!
Feeling nauseous, Ye Zhen watched helplessly as the worm crawled into the bowl and gulped down Ming Xi's blood.
"Fire Phoenix." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice.
"Here!" The Fire Phoenix cried and spat out a flame from its mouth, burning the worm into black charcoal.
