When Wu Hualing was six years old, the head of the Wu family, who was also Wu Hualing's father, brought back a concubine named Li. Li was very beautiful and was deeply loved by his father. As a result, his mother became alienated from his father and took Wu Hualing back to her maternal grandfather's home. Not long after that, the Wu family was wiped out, and Wu Hualing escaped.

When her mother heard of her father's death, she was sad for a long time and later died of illness. Her grandfather also left her not long after. After that, she wandered around the world alone until she met Xu Ying and Xiang Liu.

Qingfeng: "So, the extermination of Sister Hua's family was most likely due to Aunt Li?"

Wu Hualing shook his head. "I don't know either. I was too young at the time. My grandfather was worried that my mother and I would be implicated and he ran around everywhere. My mother was also troubled by this matter, so I didn't pay much attention to the truth of the extermination of the family, and I didn't think much about avenging my father."

Xu Ying: "But it's different now. If Concubine De is involved in this matter, she will not let you go if she knows that there is still fire in the Wu family."

Xiang Liu: "Yes, so we have to take the initiative."

Only by investigating the truth of that year can we prevent problems before they happen.

Wu Hualing was still a little confused. She really didn't have any feelings for her father. Besides Aunt Li, her father had several other wives, but her mother had never been so radical as to argue with her father about Aunt Li.

Xu Ying gathered all the people in the group together, put their heads together, and assigned tasks.

Yunchuan and Ye Chenshang sat side by side, eating melon seeds and talking about how Yunchuan had successfully "kidnapped" Xu Ying back to the Northern Kingdom and made her a concubine. The two of them really had no say in the affairs of the Wu family.

In the palace, Concubine De, followed by Rao Yan and Mu Ling, returned to the bedroom and sent everyone out. Concubine De angrily questioned Rao Yan, "You just said you didn't want to?! Didn't we agree on this!?"

Rao Yan shrank her head, "Aunt! She's so scary! I don't want to compete with her for someone else!"

Seeing her so timid, Concubine De was so angry that she was shaking, "This is a matter concerning the country, how can you regret it?!"

Rao Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. "But Auntie, she is really scary. I will die!"

"How dare you, a princess of the East Kingdom, take action against me?" Defei roared.

Rao Yan: "But..."

Mu Ling watched this scene and laughed, then complained, "Why didn't mother fight for me to marry Ye Xiangliu? Then Raoyan could marry Ye Chenshang, and we would both be happy. The power and divine strength would also be ours!"

Rao Yan listened and nodded, thinking it made sense.

De Fei turned her head and looked at Mu Ling impatiently, "What bullshit are you talking about?"

If I let you marry Ye Xiangliu, she will be killed by you on the wedding night.

Mu Ling: "Mother, that makes sense! If Ye Xiangliu marries me, then I will be the one she obeys! Why don't you fight for it, mother..."

De Fei was so angry that she picked up something and threw it at Mu Ling, "Do you think marriage can tie a woman down?! If Ye Xiangliu didn't like Ye Chenshang, would she protect him?! You pig brain! Get out of here!"

Mu Ling dodged, feeling very aggrieved, and muttered as he walked out, "Just go out, why are you so angry..."

Mu Ling actually didn't understand why his mother was so angry. He didn't really want the throne. He simply wanted to be better than others. He was simply evil and didn't want Ye Chenshang to have an easy life. Plus, he listened to his mother and whatever Concubine De said, he would listen.

But Defei thought he was stupid, so she didn't tell him all her plans.

After Mu Ling left, Rao Yan looked innocently at Defei, who was standing opposite her trying to calm down.

After a long time, Concubine De changed her temper and walked towards Raoyan kindly with a smile on her face, "Raoyan..."

She had to let Raoyan stay to contain Xiangliu. Xiangliu was a princess, had great power, and had made great contributions. These three things combined were enough to make her walk sideways in the capital. Just like when the Southern Emperor punished her with house arrest, she could live in a cell and no one could stand up to her.

As a result, Ye Chenshang also became successful.

So Concubine De kindly did a lot of psychological preparation for Raoyan, and advised the Emperor of the South to take advantage of the opportunity when all the talented people from various countries were present to hold a blind date party for Raoyan, requiring everyone to participate, even those who were married!

When this news came out, officials from the Southern Country and participants from various countries were speechless, and their resentment towards Concubine De deepened a lot.

But we are in Congress and it would be impolite to leave early.

The people in the Yi Zi Hao didn't care what Concubine De was doing and divided into two teams.

A team of Xiaoqiao Liushui and Wu Hualing went to the old residence of the Wu family to investigate the identity of Aunt Li.

The second team, consisting of Qingfeng, Xiaole and Dugu, went to the East Country to investigate all the secrets related to the East Country royal family and Concubine De.

Xu Ying and Yun Chuan secured their positions in the No. 1 shop, and someone took over. Xiang Liu and Ye Chen Shang had some free time to stay in the palace and relax in the sun.

After lunch today, Xiangliu and Ye Chenshang sat together under the peach tree to bask in the sun. Kongshan ran into the peach garden to report, "Master! The Western Emperor is here!"

Ye Chenshang felt the person in his arms tremble, "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you? Do you know him?"

Xiangliu stood up calmly and said, "I don't know him."

Ye Chenshang felt something was wrong and sent Kong Shan away, "Please invite him in."

"Yes."

After Kongshan left, Ye Chenshang looked at Xiangliu, "Xiang'er, you can talk again."

Xiangliu was slightly disappointed. "Isn't it that the Western Country is good at plants and trees? When I think of those vast forests, I can think of vast...insects..."

Ye Chenshang was very surprised, "Xiang'er, you are afraid of insects?! Then why aren't you afraid, Xiaoqing?"

Xiangliu: "Xiaoqing is not a bug!"

"Okay, okay, it's not~ That's not right. When you get angry, you go into the mountains. Aren't there a lot of trees and insects in the mountains?" During the few days that Ye Chenshang lived in No. 1, he learned a lot about Xiangliu's little habits from everyone in the No. 1.

Xiangliu: "I can hide from the bugs in the mountains, but how can I hide from the bugs on the trees he controls?"

Ye Chenshang thought Xiang Liu was so cute, so he could just hide there.

But he held back and didn't say anything, fearing that Xiang Liu would be unhappy. "Okay, then you follow behind me later, and I'll help you separate him."

Xiang Liu: "Okay."

When the two arrived at the meeting room, Emperor Xi was sipping tea.

Ye Chenshang: "The Western Emperor."

Seeing the two people coming, the Western Emperor put down his teacup and said, "Prince Chen, Princess Chen."

The two sides greeted each other. The Western Emperor was about the same age as Ye Chenshang, with outstanding looks. He did not have any airs of an emperor and seemed very polite and respectful.

The three of them sat down opposite each other. Xiang Liu hid beside Ye Chenshang and moved her chair back.

Ye Chenshang: "Why did the Western Emperor come here this time?"

The Western Emperor smiled self-deprecatingly, "To be honest, I do have a favor to ask of you."

Ye Chenshang: "Please speak."

When the Emperor heard that Concubine De required all attendees to participate in the blind date event, he regretted coming in person...

He had been on the throne for a short time, and although he was firmly in control of the government, he still had little credibility with the three countries outside. He wanted to come in person to show his friendship, but it was not convenient to cause conflict with other countries.

But the truth was that his queen had run away and had not been found yet, and he was worried about being chosen.

After seeing Xiangliu's divine power suppressing everyone at the banquet, he came here to seek refuge.
