Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

The border war is about to break out, and many places in the north of Sheng Kingdom have suffered from a rare drought, while the south has been hit by floods. Countless refugees have poured into the capital from all over the north and south. Every time Jiang Xinxin goes out, she will encounter refugees who have luckily entered the city but can only beg on the streets.

On Prince Xuancheng's birthday, Prince Xuancheng's palace began distributing porridge and medicine outside the city fifteen days in advance. Prince Xuancheng's concubine, despite her status, still personally distributed porridge to the refugees, which naturally won her a lot of praise. Even the incident of her dark face on the day she was drying her makeup was no longer mentioned.

But the birthday banquet at Prince Xuancheng's Mansion did not go smoothly after all. Before the dancing and music started, crows suddenly swarmed in the sky, almost covering the Prince Xuancheng Mansion in darkness.

But King Xuancheng Xiao Lin is no ordinary person. He once practiced in the Hengyang Sect in the fairy mountain. If he were not the legitimate prince of Sheng Kingdom and would inherit this vast territory in the future, the Hengyang Sect would be reluctant to let this good seedling return to the mortal world to suffer.

King Xuancheng drew his sword and broke up the flock of crows above his head with just a few strikes. He even had time to erect a barrier to protect the guests from the feathers and filth left behind by the fleeing crows. However, he did not expect that the crows were followed by a group of bloodthirsty little demons!

These little monsters turned into a ball of black mist and ran around everywhere. They would bite the neck and suck blood of anyone they caught. Without waiting for anyone to notice them, they would quickly let go and look for the next target. In a short while, three or five strong men fell down.

Xiao Lin's sword was sharp, but he was afraid of hurting people so he had many restrictions and was restrained in the fight. Fortunately, the guests reacted quickly and drew their swords to fight. It was no problem for two or three people to join forces to kill a little demon.

Tan Tai Jin was hiding behind the scenes directing all this, and when he saw that Xiao Lin actually knew magic, he knew that this was the only way today. While commanding the little demons to retreat, he sent three or two little demons to harass Ye Bingshang. He wanted to test whether Xiao Lin's feelings for Ye Bingshang were really indestructible.

When Xiao Lin saw a monster flying behind him, he quickly chased after it. Ye Bingshang was sitting in the corridor, feeling sorry for herself, when she saw a flock of crows coming towards her. She quickly took her personal maid Jiahui into the house to hide, and closed the doors and windows tightly, so she was not harassed by the crows.

But these ordinary doors and windows could keep out common birds like crows, but they could not stop the powerful monsters. In a few seconds, the doors and windows were all knocked open.

When the little girl Jiahui was in the general's mansion, she could help Ye Bingshang get some food from the kitchen, and she could also help Ye Bingshang sell the embroidery, but she had no way to deal with these monsters with black air all over their bodies. She even only remembered to protect Ye Bingshang's head, and the master and servant ran around the room with their heads in their arms.

Ye Bingshang felt that the crisis before her was the biggest crisis she had ever encountered since she was sent to the mountains to collect herbs for the Grand Princess at the age of six, and was pushed into the frozen pond by Ye Xiwu last year.

There is no reason for demons to eat people, and there are only two weak women here. Jiahui, as a maid, was lucky enough to remember to protect her and not escape alone. She didn't want to die, so she could only try to calm herself down and think of a way.

Ye Bingshang was lucky after all. When she was six years old, the Grand Princess ordered her to go to the mountain to collect herbs. Although she fell, she gained some immortality. Now, the heart-protecting scale she got from the immortal was in her purse and worn with her. In critical moments, the heart-protecting scale supported a barrier to resist the attacks of demons for her and Jiahui.

Xiao Lin, who rushed over with a worried look on his face to check the situation, saw that Ye Bingshang and Jiahui were a little embarrassed but not hurt at all. He also heard someone outside report that several mansions in the capital had been attacked by demons and the situation was very critical. He couldn't help but worry about the situation outside.

Ye Bingshang needed Xiao Lin very much at this moment, and begged: "Your Highness, I am really scared——"

Xiao Lin saw that she did have something to protect herself, so after thinking it over, he decided to go out and get rid of the monster: "Bingshang, now that the monster problem in the mansion has been eliminated, you can just stay at home with the doors and windows closed. The situation outside is critical, and as the King of Xuancheng, it is my duty to protect the people of Shengguo."

Ye Bingshang wanted to say that she was still Xiao Lin's wife, a weak woman who needed his protection. But her image to the outside world had always been kind, generous and considerate. At this moment, without waiting for Xiao Lin to explain that she had the Heart Scale to protect her, she could only grit her teeth and watch him leave.

Xiao Lin left abruptly. Ye Bingshang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar when she saw the mess in the house. However, she was not the kind of person who would just wallow in pain and self-pity. Now that she realized that Xiao Lin might not always put her first, she had no choice but to use some tricks.

The Prince of Xuancheng's mansion was infested by a demon but the crisis was quickly resolved. The news that Prince Xuancheng left his beloved concubine and went out of the mansion to rescue the people outside soon reached the General's Mansion. Upon hearing this, Ye Xiwu couldn't help but laugh heartily towards the sky.

"I thought Ye Bingshang was so favored, but the Sixth Prince still left her to take care of those people outside!"

With Jiang Xinxin not around, Ye Xiwu could no longer suppress the malice she felt towards Ye Bingshang, so she sent people out to find out where the monster was causing trouble, preparing to find an opportunity to tie Ye Bingshang up and hand her over to the monster outside the city.

Ye Xiwu smiled innocently and with a hint of hope, "I just don't believe that she can escape being whipped every day, and she can get away with this man-eating monster!"

Recently, Mother Chen has been ill, and the tasks of distributing porridge and free medicine in the name of the late Madam and Ye Xiwu have all fallen on Jiang Xinxin's shoulders. Now there is another evil spirit outside, and the prices of herbs such as those for clearing away heat and detoxifying have skyrocketed. Jiang Xinxin can only suggest temporarily giving up herbs for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and instead giving more ready-made pills for strengthening the body to those who are not sick or in pain.

Jiang Xinxin was so busy that she didn't expect that Ye Xiwu had found a group of kidnappers. When Ye Bingshang went out of the city to distribute porridge as usual, they kidnapped people and threw them to the barren mountain where the monster was infested.

Fortunately, Tan Tai Jin had recently regained his attention to Ye Bingshang, and knowing that Ye Xiwu had done such a big thing again, he quietly left marks for Xiao Lin along the way to make it easier for him to rescue Ye Bingshang.

But the terrible thing is, in order to see Ye Bingshang's ugly appearance up close and to get the good news that Ye Bingshang is dead as soon as possible, Ye Xiwu actually dared to go out of the city with only Chuntao and a coachman!

Fortunately, the servant guarding the side door was somewhat familiar with Jiang Xinxin. When he saw Ye Xiwu taking Chuntao out today, he mentioned it to Jiang Xinxin when she came back.

Jiang Xinxin was frightened when she heard this. Then she heard from the servant that Ye Xiwu did not choose the luxurious carriage she used to use, but instead ordered a more low-key carriage. She hurried to the Grand Princess's courtyard to report the news.

Tan Tai Jin, who was monitoring Jiang Xinxin, did not expect that Jiang Xinxin was more perceptive than Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin had not received the news of Ye Bingshang's disappearance yet, but Jiang Xinxin realized that Ye Xiwu must be in danger just from two words from the gatekeeper. She prepared for the response immediately and chose to go directly to the Grand Princess.

The more Tan Tai Jin thought about it, the more interesting it became. He quietly asked Niao Que to take him out to chase Ye Xiwu. He was very interested in both Ye Bingshang and Ye Xiwu, and even more interested in Xiao Lin's next performance. What interested him most was what Jiang Xinxin would do.
