Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

The palace maid was startled by Jiang Shuyue's sudden action and stammered, "This servant...this servant doesn't know either, I just heard it from others..."

Jiang Shuyue flung the palace maid away, her heart churning like a stormy sea.

Xiao Chuhuan being confined to his home was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

She had finally climbed to this position, and was about to become the Crown Princess, but now...

She is not reconciled!

Jiang Shuyue gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. She had to find a way to see Xiao Chuhuan, otherwise all her previous efforts would be in vain!

Meanwhile, the Northern Abyss Imperial Palace was in complete chaos.

Since the auction ended, Elder Songhe has severed ties with the Northern Abyss royal family and declared that he will no longer provide them with a single pill.

The Emperor of Beiyuan was so anxious he was like an ant on a hot pan, his hair almost turning white with worry.

The case of the treasury robbery is still unsolved, and now they've lost such a powerful ally—it's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

He was completely confused until Elder Songhe gave him a hint, which reminded him to question Xiao Chuhuan and Xiao Chuhuang.

At first, the two stubbornly refused to admit it, which angered the Emperor of Beiyuan so much that he almost deposed the Crown Prince on the spot.

Finally, under the emperor's furious wrath, the two tearfully explained the whole story.

Although he knew the two had been tricked, the Emperor of Beiyuan was still furious: "How have I taught you all this time? A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way! If you yourselves didn't have that greed, would you have been taken advantage of?!"

As a result, Xiao Chuhuan and Xiao Chuhuang were placed under house arrest.

Xiao Chuhuang was still able to cultivate in her own courtyard, but Xiao Chuhuan was not so lucky.

His old injuries had not yet healed, and he became extremely angry because of what happened at the auction, which resulted in... him completely losing sensation in his lower body.

"Bang!" Xiao Chuhuan smashed a fine celadon teacup on the ground, shards flying everywhere.

"Damn Shen Yunxi! Bitch! It's all her fault!" His face was ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead.

This matter must absolutely not be known to the Emperor, otherwise he will truly lose his position as Crown Prince!

The Empress has been extremely worried about the Crown Prince these past few days. On one hand, she has to appease the furious Emperor, and on the other hand, she has to secretly search for the whereabouts of the thousand-year-old dragon bone. She has become quite haggard.

Meanwhile, Shen Yunxi is living a very successful life.

With the Star-Picking Pavilion's recruitment exam approaching, she was busy instructing her disciples in cultivation while also refining pills with Ningbao.

"Little sister, the pill that Ningbao gave me is truly miraculous! I feel that my cultivation has improved a lot!" Shen Yichen said excitedly to Shen Yunxi.

"Of course, look who refined it." Shen Ruoning raised her eyebrows smugly, and said with a mature look, "You all need to cultivate hard and strive to achieve good results in the Star-Picking Pavilion's recruitment exam."

"Don't worry, young lady! We will definitely not let you down!" the Shen family disciple assured confidently.

With only a few days left until the Star-Picking Pavilion's recruitment exam, Shen Yunxi set off two days before it began.

The Northern Abyss and the Star-Picking Pavilion are far apart, and there is no teleportation array between the Northern Abyss and the Star-Picking Pavilion, so they had to set off ahead of schedule.

Because Shen Wanqing registered for the Star-Picking Pavilion recruitment under the name of Elder Songhe, her spot became vacant in the Shen family. Ultimately, because Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu needed someone to protect them, the spot fell to Zhiyan. Di Xuanshang also served as Shen Yunxi's bodyguard and traveled with them, but he was not allowed to enter the Star-Picking Pavilion.
