She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Yu Yuanzheng’s first thought after hearing this was: There must be something wrong with the mountain, and even more so with the water.

Only by exploring it can we know why.

"Grand Emperor, Father, how about we go up the mountain and take a look? I suspect the answers we're looking for may very well be there."

Yu Yuanzheng sought the opinions of the two elders.

"Do you have any ideas?" The old prince just listened to what Grandma Ye said and looked at the mountains in the distance for a long time.

"I have some ideas, but I still have to see it to be sure." Yu Yuanzheng had a rough guess in his mind.

But when she talked about chemistry, they might not understand.

She would have to go and see it for herself to find out.

"In your opinion, is there any danger on the mountain?" Emperor Qiming asked, looking away.

"There are no other ferocious beasts on this island except birds and a few animals raised by the villagers. There will definitely be no danger." Yu Yuanzheng was very sure.

"Then let's go up and check it out." Emperor Qiming also became interested.

Although he was the emperor, he actually did not travel much and spent most of his time in the palace.

It was a rare opportunity to encounter such a magical thing, and his strong curiosity was aroused. How could he miss the opportunity to find out more?

He now feels very good both physically and mentally and dares to go anywhere.

Since passing the throne to the crown prince three years ago, he has lived a much happier life than when he was emperor.

You can go wherever you want without having to worry about state affairs or dealing with court officials.

After Emperor Qiming finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front.

But Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui looked embarrassed.

"My dear ladies, are your legs and feet okay? If you can't make it up the mountain, you can go back first and we will go by ourselves."

Seeing the two elderly people hesitant, Yu Yuanzheng took the initiative to consider for them.

Although they are only in their fifties, anyone who sees them would think they are in their seventies.

They are both relatively long-lived people on the island.

As you can imagine, most of the villagers died in their forties.

However, they felt embarrassed when they saw the retired emperor walking so briskly.

At the same time, he was also afraid of being blamed by the emperor.

They really didn't have the physical strength to climb the mountain, and they had an innate fear of mountains.

According to the old sayings passed down by our ancestors, that mountain is very mysterious.

"It's okay, we know how to get back. You guys go back." Seeing that the two were embarrassed, Yu Yuanzheng made the decision for them.

"Thank you, Princess. You must remember that the water in that lake is absolutely not drinkable." Grandma Ye emphasized again.

"Okay." Yu Yuanzheng turned around and quickly followed the emperor.

The two old men watched the retired emperor and his entourage walk further and further away.

"Sister Ye, do you think they can really find out the problem with Haiyue Island?" Granny Cui looked at the group of people walking away.

They have lived here all their lives and have deep feelings for this place.

They certainly don't want the villagers to become extinct after many years.

"I hope to find them. Don't you feel they are all intelligent people?

We have been on this island from birth to death, with no knowledge and no experience.

Ever since the Emperor came, I feel that they are very different from us.

You see, all the men there know how to act and when to retreat, and they are respectful and obedient to the retired emperor and the old prince.

And have our fellow villagers ever treated us two like this?

This is what our ancestors called imperial power.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the princess is easy to talk to. Look at her two maids. They always put their master first and obey her orders.

Our villagers don't understand these things at all. To put it bluntly, they have no rules and no manners." Grandma Ye was full of emotion.

She is also a rare smart person, otherwise she would not have become the person in charge of this island.

Unfortunately, the environment shapes people, and she is only slightly better than the average villager.

"Sister Ye is right, but there's nothing we can do." Granny Cui agreed.

The two of them were also elected by the villagers as the leaders.

Even though there are less than a thousand people on the island, someone needs to be in charge to avoid too many conflicts and disputes.

"Let's go back. They'll probably be back before dark, and we'll have to ask each family to contribute some more rice so we can prepare something for them to eat at night."

Grandma Ye turned around, and the two of them walked back, supporting each other.

The emperor and his entourage went down the mountain, walked through a flat valley, and then climbed up the mountain where they had just seen nothing on the top.

The higher you go, the fewer plants there are.

They also grow shorter, which clearly indicates a lack of nutrition.

Like a tree growing on a cliff.

When they reached the middle of the mountain, they saw a stream flowing down.

However, the route it took was not the same as the one they had taken to go up the mountain.

In fact, there was no road at all, they just chose a convenient place to climb up.

The stream water is also crystal clear, and there is nothing at the bottom. Normally, there is some moss on the edge of a stream, but here there are only small stones or rocks that have been washed clean.

The three children were very lively and didn't complain of being tired at all. Instead, Yu Yuanzheng was panting from climbing.

"Mother, do you want me to support you?" Shangguan Changyu deliberately stopped and waited for Yu Yuanzheng.

"You go on your way, I'll support your mother." Shangguan Ziqi didn't let him interfere.

He kept holding Yu Yuanzheng's hand as they climbed up.

"The child feels sorry for me." Yu Yuanzheng smiled and took the initiative to extend her right hand to her eldest son.

Among their group, Yu Yuanzheng was the weakest.

I have no martial arts skills.

It took more than an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

"Wow, such a big lake." Shangguan Yajing was the first to climb to the top of the mountain and saw a clear blue lake.

Emperor Qiming and the old prince were also in good physical condition, and with the help of their guards they also reached the top of the mountain.

"It's a nice place. Just look at this lake, the scenery is pleasant. Hongyi, what do you think is the reason that such clean water cannot be drunk?" It was the first time that Emperor Qiming saw such a scenery. Standing on the top of the mountain, he felt relaxed and happy.

Yu Yuanzheng and the other two finally reached the top of the mountain.

"It's really as the two mothers-in-law said. This lake is at least several hundred acres. If we can raise fish, it will be enough to feed at least hundreds of thousands of people a year." This was also the first time Yu Yuanzheng saw Tianchi.

The water of Tianchi Lake comes entirely from rainwater and rainwater from the surrounding mountains.

The formation of such a large lake is of course due to geographical changes.

Everyone rested for a while and enjoyed the scenery.

"Your Majesty, let's take a walk along the lake," Yu Yuanzheng suggested.

"Ah."

Once you reach the top, you don’t have to climb any further. Yu Yuanzheng felt a little more relaxed and walked ahead.

When they reached a place close to the water, where they could touch the surface with their hands, Yu Yuanzheng squatted down and wanted to use his hands to feel what was different about the water.

"Madam, no." Shangguan Ziqi stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuanzheng raised her head.

"Let me do it." Shangguan Ziqi pulled the man up.

Then he squatted down, stretched out his index finger, and gently dipped it in the water.

Feel nothing.

He put his whole hand in the water again.

Ice cold.

There is no obvious feeling.

"How is it?" asked Emperor Qiming.

"Your Majesty, I don't feel anything special, just a little cold." Shangguan Ziqi answered truthfully.

"Let me feel it." Since there was no danger, Yu Yuanzheng wanted to try it himself.
