If it was any other country, Ye Beiming could make use of his special space-time magic to travel thousands of miles in a day.
But the Immortal Residence Country was very special. It was surrounded by special elven restrictions. Magic could not be used to enter the Immortal Residence Country, and one had to pass through the Snow Forest Sea.
There, the magic of any human would be restricted. Only those who had been baptized by the elves could survive in the Immortal Residence Country.
Even Ye Beiming's strength would be greatly reduced in the Immortal Residence Country.
It was too dangerous for him to go alone.
"I haven't heard from the little wild cat in a long time." Ye Beiming recalled the various legends of the Immortal Ju Country. The most famous of them all was the Immortal Ju's Snow Forest Sea. It was rumored that no one who entered the Snow Forest Sea had ever successfully left.
Just as Ye Beiming and Zhan Li were in a deadlock, a warrior guarding the entrance of the martial arts hall delivered a message.
"Senior Brother Ye, someone just delivered a message at the entrance of the martial arts hall. That person told me to tell you that if you want to know Elder Yun's whereabouts, you have to go to the Thousand Snow Pavilion in the city alone at midnight. He said that he has news of Elder Yun's whereabouts. That person also specifically said that you have to go alone. Otherwise, don't even think about getting any information. "The warrior said. The person who delivered the message was wearing a bamboo hat. He was neither tall nor short. From his accent, it was hard to tell if he was male or female.
Little Wild Cat's whereabouts?
Ye Beiming could not help but become excited.
"Beiming, there's something wrong." Zhan Li felt that there must be some conspiracy behind this.
"It's better to believe it than not. It's just a meeting. I've been to the Thousand Snow Pavilion a few times." Even if there was just a little bit of news about Yun Sheng, he would not let it go.
Zhan Li could not help but shake his head. Once the matter involved Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming's calmness completely disappeared.
The word 'love' was really misleading. He could only hope that Ye Beiming would be able to find out about Yun Sheng's whereabouts tonight. Otherwise, Zhan Li could not imagine what Ye Beiming would do.
At night, Ye Beiming arrived at the Thousand Snow Pavilion around midnight, just as he had been told.
Thousand Snow Pavilion was a small teahouse in the city for people to rest. It was built by a famous philanthropist and official in Jade Capital City. There was a row of stone tables and chairs set up inside for the passersby to rest and recuperate.
The pavilion was warm in winter and cool in summer. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, and there was a field of canna growing quite well. At this time, the fat green banana leaves and red canna were in full bloom, often attracting passers-by to stop and watch.
At night, the teahouse should have been empty.
Ye Beiming strolled over, looking around cautiously. After making sure that no one was lying in ambush, he entered the Thousand Snow Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the teahouse, Ye Beiming saw a person lying on the stone table.
Although he hadn't approached, Ye Beiming could smell a faint scent of blood in the air.
Looking at the clothes... Ye Beiming felt a chill in his heart. He was just about to back away.
Suddenly, the surrounding area was brightly lit.
A group of fully armed imperial guards rushed out. The one leading them was Chen Lian'er, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
However, tonight, Chen Lian'er's expression was clearly different from usual.
"Ye Beiming, you actually dared to poison the crown prince!" Chen Lian'er's face was tear-stained. She held a letter in her hand, her eyes filled with accusation.
It was a letter signed by Ye Beiming. The handwriting was also written by Ye Beiming. The letter said that Beiming King had invited the crown prince to the Thousand Snow Pavilion for a gathering at noon.
Behind Chen Lian'er were dozens of imperial guards. Each of them held a crossbow and surrounded the Thousand Snow Pavilion.
Ye Beiming narrowed his eyes. His initial shock had already disappeared like a tide. He didn't even look at Chen Lian'er. He only glanced sideways at the dead Ye Beiming.
He had been tricked.
He knew that this was a trap, but because it involved the little wild cat, he had lost his composure.
Ye Beiming didn't explain. He knew that tonight's trap was not set up by Chen Lian'er alone.
The people behind her had already blocked off all his escape routes.
Dozens of imperial guards were nothing in Ye Beiming's eyes. Chen Lian'er was also not his match.
However... he wouldn't run away.
If he ran away, everyone related to him would be implicated.
The Emperor of Zhou State was never someone who cared about old friendships.
Ye Beiming's silence was a confession in the eyes of the imperial guards. They also didn't expect Beiming King to be so bold as to poison the crown prince.
"You have nothing to say? Ye Beiming, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Men, take Beiming King back and put him in prison, "Chen Lian'er said harshly.
The imperial guards swarmed forward and took Ye Beiming away.
The tears on Chen Lian'er's face hadn't dried yet. Seeing Ye Beiming being taken away, she felt a tearing pain in her heart.
Even when Ye Beiming was taken away, he didn't even look at her. In his heart, she couldn't even compare to a speck of dust.
She muttered to herself, "Ye Beiming, you're really smart all your life, but now you're stupid. You completely lose your cool when it comes to Yun Sheng. You clearly know that this is a trap, but you still jumped into it? Why? Don't you remember at all? When we were young, we sneaked out of the palace for the first time and stopped outside to drink water at the Thousand Snow Pavilion. "
Chen Lian'er cried silently.
Tonight's incident was ordered by the Dark Crown Prince, Dugu Xiu.
Ye Beiming beat the Dark Crown Prince to the marriage agreement with Yun Sheng. This matter made the proud and arrogant Dugu Xiu extremely angry.
He had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Ye Beiming. This time, he ordered Chen Lian'er to frame Ye Beiming. Although Chen Lian'er was unwilling, she couldn't do anything when she thought of the Dark Crown Prince's threat.
She purposely chose the Thousand Snow Pavilion to remind Ye Beiming of the past and to be vigilant. However, Ye Beiming didn't remember anything about the past and went straight to the appointment.
"You were the one who chose to give up on me. Wait until I enter the Magic Elite Camp of the continent, I will definitely transform into someone even more dazzling than Yun Sheng. At that time, you will definitely regret the choice you made back then." Chen Lian'er's heart filled with sorrow turned into anger.
She wiped her tears and walked to Ye Beilian's side, who was already dead. She glanced coldly at her ex-fiancé. "Fiancé."
"Ye Beilian, if you didn't try to fight with me for the spot in the mainland's magic elite camp, I wouldn't have killed you so quickly. Mediocre is mediocre. Even if you were born in the imperial family, you are still mediocre. "Chen Lian'er kicked the Crown Prince, Ye Beilian, to the ground. The Crown Prince's corpse was completely cold the next day before it was carried back by the palace guards.
After the news of Ye Beiming "poisoning" the Crown Prince broke out, the news didn't immediately spread. The Zhou State's emperor ordered people to block the news.
When Empress Qi saw her son's corpse, she cried her heart out. She begged the Zhou State's emperor several times, hoping that he could immediately execute Ye Beiming.
However, this time, the Zhou State's emperor didn't listen to Empress Qi's pillow talk like before. He dismissed Empress Qi and didn't immediately interrogate Ye Beiming. It was as if he had forgotten that the Crown Prince was poisoned to death. No one knew what the Zhou State's emperor was thinking.
Ye Beiming was only imprisoned in the prison. Zhan Li, Cheng Bai, and the others also tried to mediate, but they were all rejected.
The guards in the prison were all replaced by the Marquis of Jiayuan's subordinates. They had no chance at all.
