as my mother, can't even protect our courtyard. You just lock yourself in and beat children. You are not worthy of being my mother! You are not worthy of being the mistress of this house!"Yè Liánmiàn...The Shenxian Hall was the residence of emperors throughout the various dynasties of the Northern Qi. 。The emperor's death had cast a somber pall over the palace. The imperial servants had meticulously cleared away all possessions once used by the late Emperor, leaving behind an empty hall, silent and expectant of its new occupant. 。Lord Wu and Yun Chen stood outside the palace, silently staring at the tightly shut doors. 。Sister Four of the Ye family and Seventh Prince have been inside for a while now. They dismissed all the palace maids, so no one knows how the illness is progressing inside, nor what method was used to treat it. 。Wu Fei was a little worried and questioned Yun Chen, “Is it really safe The Seventh Prince has never spoken since birth. What method did Ye Si Jie use to make a mute speak Unless it’s done by His Majesty himself, there’s no way this could be possible!” Yun Chen let out a light sigh and shook his head, "I don't know why His Majesty specifically chose Ye Si Jie for this task, but since His Majesty brought her into the palace and personally entrusted her with this matter, there must be his reason. 。You can't distrust anyone, but you can certainly trust the Emperor. So from this perspective, things are still very secure. 。He glanced at Wu Fei, kindly reminding him, “It was just now that Fourth Sister saved you in front of the Empress. Your father-in-law owes Fourth Sister a huge favor!”

Wu Fei nodded repeatedly, “Yes, great kindness doesn’t need thanks, from now on if there is anything Fourth Sister commands, this servant will certainly not hesitate.” 。" There were sobs coming from behind. " 。The two turned around and saw Empress Consort Yu from the inner court walking towards them. 。Yu Bin is thirty-four years old this year and is the biological mother of the seventh prince. 。She and the Great Emperor had a very good relationship. Not only did she give birth to the last prince, but over the years, whenever the Great Emperor was unwell, it was she who took care of him by his bedside. 。In the last two years of Emperor Da Hong's reign, only Yu Bin was by his side. 。Actually, she should have been promoted to concubine a long time ago, after all, she has a prince by her side. 。But because the Seventh Prince was mute, she felt sorry for the royal family, so she brought up the matter of becoming a concubine several times, but she was rejected every time. 。Wu Di was very respectful to this Consort Yu. When she came, he immediately bent down and bowed in greeting. 。Yun Chen also followed suit and proactively said, "The Seventh Highness is already in the Hall of Immortals." 。" The imperial concubine Yu wiped her tears and asked Yun Chen in bewilderment, “Why would the Emperor let Cheng’er ascend the throne He's only sixteen years old, and he’s still mute.” 。“Now, her gaze shifted to the grand hall in front of her, “Their First-Rank General’s eldest sister is treating Cheng’er. Will she be able to cure him His voice, is it really an illness”

Yu Bin's face was very pale. She had already cried a lot from the grief of the emperor's passing, and now thinking about her son's muteness made her heart even more unbearable.” 。She always remembered the past, remembering when her son was born, he cried very loudly. 。Around one year old, he still clutched the objects given by the Emperor and called out "Father" clearly. His voice was very sweet. 。But later for some unknown reason, he fell silent. For over ten years, he never spoke again. 。Everyone thought the seventh prince was born mute, only she knew, her son wasn't born mute, it's very possible he was harmed. 。But this matter cannot be pursued, and neither can these events. The Emperor is stylish and unable to guarantee their safety, mother and child. Now that she has lost her support, she must swallow this matter whole. 。Yun Chen looked at Yu Bin for a while, and replied: "Whether it's an illness or not, if the Emperor can cure it, then it can be cured." 。The establishment of the younger sons over the elder in Northern Qi was a tradition. As the youngest prince, the Seventh Prince should rightfully inherit the throne. 。" But... " No buts. 。"Yunchen interrupted her, "Lady Yu, I'll say it again, this is the Emperor's decision!" Lady Yu fell silent. Indeed, the Emperor's decree was sacred. The Emperor's word was an imperial edict, and the Emperor's words were beyond even the Emperor's power to defy. What else did she wantWu Fei advised her, "My Lady, though the Seventh Prince ascending the throne was unexpected, try to look on the bright side. Since the Celestial Emperor wishes for the Seventh Prince to rule, he must inevitably seek a cure for the Seventh Prince's voice..." 。Let's wait a little longer. When Seventh Prince comes out of the Immortal Palace, he will be able to speak. 。"Aren't you expecting it"

In the east wing of the Immortal Hall, Ye Wen sat on a chair, staring blankly at the seventh prince opposite him. For a moment, he was dazed.

In her past life, she had a cousin who looked just like this. 。A graceful young man, kind and honest, with delicate fair skin. His face is adorned with peach blossom eyes, and the corners of his lips are slightly upturned, revealing a clean and bright smile. 。That was her cousin's child. She had always liked to follow her around. She wouldn't listen to her parents, but she would definitely listen to her, her aunt. 。Because he was as white and pure as a girl when he was born, his aunt jokingly named him Ye Qingcheng. 。After growing up, Ye Qingcheng had opinions about her own name, but unfortunately, her mother was too domineering and every thought of changing it was suppressed. 。The first shot fired that night, the night her family was slaughtered, was blocked by Ye Qingcheng. 。Before she died, the child pushed her away and told her to run, never to think of revenge, to run as far away as possible. 。 But where could she run to The Xuanmai Night Family was going to be wiped out, she couldn't escape even if she ran to the edge of the world. 。Her thoughts returned, and she looked at the boy before her, asking, "Do you know who I am" The boy nodded. Though he couldn't speak, he could hear her voice. 。Night Wenyan also nodded, “I understand, then I won't introduce myself.” 。The Seventh Prince was clearly a bit nervous. He tentatively reached out to grab her hand, but ultimately only managed to grasp her sleeve. 。Ye Wen smiled, "I know your intentions, rest assured, I will cure you." 。But it's only about curing you, allowing you to speak again. As for the path ahead, that's something you'll have to figure out yourself. 。The young man nodded again. 。She continued, "I don't know if that Emperor pushed you onto the throne for right or wrong. But you are a prince, from birth you were prepared to one day possibly inherit the emperor's position." 。So this is your fate, you deserve it. 。“She raised her hand and gently covered his throat, “You weren’t born mute, you were injured.” 。I don't know who would do such a thing to you, but at least it was just dumb, not deaf. 。Deafness will not affect hearing, but deafness will affect language. 。If the other party had damaged your ears in the beginning, even if I were to restore your hearing now, your language function would still be a hindrance. 。“The hand on the throat slowly moved up, landing on the eyes. "Close your eyes! When you open them again, you'll be able to speak.” 。If you're bored right now, you could think about what my first sentence to you will be later. 。The Seventh Prince obediently closed his eyes. She opened her palm, and the plum blossom wax crumbled, turning into white light that entered the Seventh Prince's throat. 。In a short moment, her voice rang out again: "Okay" 。" Okay The Seventh Prince opened his eyes, looking incredibly surprised 。I tried to speak, but due to nervousness, I could only babble. 。She smiled and told him, "Don't be afraid. Although you haven't spoken a word, you've been able to hear everything all along." 。 。The Seventh Prince pondered for a while by himself, then opened his mouth and called out to her: "Sister" 。"

Ye Wenyan suddenly froze, looking back and forth at the young man, "I thought you would thank me, but I didn't expect you to call me sister"

"Seventh Prince, Wu Gonggong is here. You are sixteen this year, and I am only fifteen, so you can't call me elder sister." 。But I just feel like you're my older sister, and I feel like you're much older than me. You can teach me a lot. 。"The Seventh Prince has his own ideas, 'If you feel it's inappropriate, I'll call privately. Don't refuse.'" 。"

She sighed helplessly, "Suit yourself! Seventh Prince, are you called Quan Qingcheng"

"Yes!" he said earnestly, uttering those three words, "Quan Qingcheng, the blue of blue, the city wall of city..." 。"Qingcheng" Suddenly, her nose felt sour, and she burst into laughter. She grabbed the boy's hand, "Qingcheng, it's good, your name is Qingcheng, this is really good." 。"Why Does this name hold any special meaning Sister, you seem about to cry. But why are your hands so cold And why is your face so pale Are you sick, sister" She shook her head. "No, sister, I'm not sick. It's just that it's been snowing non-stop outside, and the cold..." 。"Then let's sit by the stove, it'll warm us up a bit." 。He pulled Ye Wenyan's chair closer to the brazier, and then said, "Sister, should I be this emperor" Ye Wenyan looked at him for a while longer and sighed softly, "Qingcheng, you have no choice..." 。"So you want me to do it, or not" She sighed again, "I have no choice. This is a matter for your royal family. I'm just a commoner. It's none of my concern." 。Besides, I don't know what the other princes are like. I don't know if they are good or bad, and whether they are suitable for inheriting the throne. 。"

Think about it again, and added: “But your sixth brother is no good. He has a grudge against me, and I can't let him get what he wants. " 。“ Quan Qingsheng laughed, “Sister, you have such an interesting personality. I heard from before that Ye Family's fourth sister was very capable, and today, seeing her in person, it's truly as they say.” 。“Enough with the past. Don't bring it up.” 。"

That's not worth mentioning " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"Quán Qīngchéng was very obedient, "Sister, I heard about your big wedding yesterday, but my sixth brother he..." "Don't even mention this, it's more irritating." 。“She was really upset. At first, when he called her sister, she thought this child had a sweet mouth and was good at flattering people. How could things turn around so quickly She warned him, “Remember, it’s my cousin Ye Hongzhuang who is marrying your sixth brother, not me, Ye Wenyan. I have nothing to do with your sixth brother.” 。"

She patted Quan Qingcheng, "Alright, stand up. Adjust your emotions. Everyone's waiting for you outside! Also, there's one more thing you need to remember firmly: how I cured you, don't say a word about it. If someone insists on asking, just push it onto Yun Chen. It was the Imperial Inspector who wouldn't allow it, saying it would ruin the country's fortunes." 。

"Remember"

Quan Qingcheng nodded, "Remember..."

"And also, don't let anyone take advantage of you and disable you. You have to learn to protect yourself. When the day comes that your wings are full, then we'll figure out how to settle accounts, understand" 。" Quan Qingcheng nodded again, "Understood!" "Good, then go!" She looked out the window, the thick paper windows couldn't block the bright morning light 。The time has come, from this moment forward, the Northern Qi Kingdom will welcome a new generation of emperors! off firecrackers. No one in the entire Lin'an City dares to say anything, not even my father the emperor permits it, and even your Ye family doesn't have a single person who dares to speak to me. 。"Y...
