Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

In the Xuancheng Palace, after Ye Bingshang learned that Tan Tai Jin had escaped and "Ye Xiwu" had chased him, her whole body suddenly went limp and she fell directly on the table, accidentally knocking over the teacup in front of her.

"Miss..." Jiahui looked at Ye Bingshang with great concern, and her hands did not hesitate to clean up the mess on the table. She just felt sorry for Ye Bingshang.

Ye Bingshang smiled bitterly: "I'm fine. We should have known this long ago. The general's mansion would never consider a concubine like me."

Jia Hui was very angry: "But my queen, you are now the concubine of Prince Xuancheng, the only female member of Prince Xuancheng's harem. Even if the General's Mansion doesn't value you, it shouldn't bring shame to Prince Xuancheng's Mansion!"

Seeing Jia Hui standing up for her, Ye Bingshang finally felt better. She sat up and looked at the scenery outside the window, and said quietly, "Of course, I became a concubine because of your highness' insistence, but most of the reason is that the emperor wanted to divide the general's mansion."

In the past, Ye Bingshang only paid attention to the affairs of the harem and never connected the affairs of the court with the harem. After all, she has been a concubine for so long now, and is handling the daily affairs of the Princess of Prince Xuancheng. She is also a very intelligent person, so she will naturally understand some things after seeing them too much.

Just as she said, she was able to marry Xuancheng King Xiao Lin as a concubine because of Xiao Lin's love and persistence, but fundamentally, it was probably because Emperor Sheng wanted to disintegrate the Ye family from within, so as to eliminate the possibility of the Ye family having second thoughts.

Or maybe, Ye Bingshang just became the only bloodline left by Emperor Sheng for the Ye family because of Xiao Lin's kindness...

Although Ye Bingshang hated the favoritism of the two elders in her family, she also knew that if there was no General's Mansion, if she was born in someone else's family, she would not know what her life would be like, especially since she and Xiao Lin might not even have the chance to meet each other. Therefore, whether the Ye family was simply her mother's family or for some other reason, it could not just fall like that.

Therefore, "Ye Xiwu" could not have taken the initiative to chase after Tan Tai Jin. She was only abducted by Tan Tai Jin and held hostage!

However, Ye Bingshang did not dare to gamble with the Ye family on matters concerning Ye Xiwu, so she specially wrote a letter and asked Jiahui to hand it over to the current head of the Ye family, General Ye Xiao's son, Major General Ye Qingyu, when she went back to visit the Grand Princess.

Ye Qingyu was the only sensible person in the Ye family. He insisted on strict discipline for Ye Xiwu. Unfortunately, Ye Qingyu was sent to the border when he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and was rarely at home all year round. Even if he could correct Ye Xiwu's bad habits temporarily, it would not last long. Ye Xiwu still grew up to be the hateful person he was.

Ye Bingshang placed all her hopes on Ye Qingyu, but she didn't know that this time the Ye family was facing a life-and-death crisis. The eldest princess finally regained her sanity and released the news that Ye Xiwu was taken away by Tan Tai Jin as a hostage. She also dressed neatly and went to the palace in person to apologize, which temporarily resolved the crisis for the Ye family.

However, as the news of Tan Tai Jin's escape spread, Jing State directly sent people deep into Sheng State's territory, attempting to pin the blame for Tan Tai Jin's death on Sheng State. As a result, Emperor Sheng had to simply withdraw the troops that were hunting down Tan Tai Jin, so Xiao Lin personally led people to chase after him.

Tan Tai Jin dodged several waves of killing attacks and absorbed a lot of demonic power along the way. In addition, he learned the techniques of drawing talismans and setting up formations from "Ye Xiwu", and he became less and less willing to conceal his whereabouts. He even wished for more opportunities so that he could practice more.

But Lan Anzhi, another maidservant of the former Concubine Rou who had followed him to Sheng Kingdom and left halfway, found him with the people of the Yiyue tribe.

Tan Tai Jin's feelings towards Lan Anzhi were not as strong as those towards Yue Yingxin, the maid who had followed him from beginning to end, so when Lan Anzhi came, he pretended to be grateful on the surface, but he was fully alert in his heart.

Lan Anzhi was just trying to win Tan Tai Jin's trust with all her heart. After all, her escape that year had caused Tan Tai Jin a lot of trouble. Now she still wanted to use Tan Tai Jin. She couldn't expect to succeed just by talking to him.

So Lan Anzhi concealed some of the truth and acted as if he was guilty to Tan Tai Jin: "I left because I couldn't stand the torture of the Sheng people, but I also thought about returning to the Yi Yue tribe first and then find a way for you, Your Highness."

"The Yiyue tribe is now facing a life-or-death situation. Ever since Tan Tai Minglang took over, he has repeatedly blamed the Yiyue tribe for the Saintess. Now the only one with outstanding talent in the Yiyue tribe is you, Your Highness, who has inherited the Saintess' bloodline."

Hearing that Lan Anzhi wanted him to use his identity to confront Tan Tai Minglang, Tan Tai Jin felt a little relieved. This was right. He couldn't have ignored the fact that he was the only blood of the Saint Yue Ruanruan and allowed Tan Tai Wuji to send him to another country as a hostage when he was still an infant. Now that he was so old, he had already understood what he should have understood, but suddenly he remembered that he was the blood of Yue Ruanruan, so he began to value him.

But no matter what, now apart from the bloodline of Yue Ruanruan of the Yiyue tribe and the identity of the prince of Jing Kingdom, he has nothing else worth coveting.

Lan Anzhi's words and deeds showed that he wanted to hand over the Yi Yue tribe to him in the future. Although Tan Tai Jin didn't believe it at all, he felt that it was not impossible for him to be nice to Lan Anzhi. It happened that he had learned so much from the books and was worried about having no place to put it into practice.

After two days of easing the tension, Lan Anzhi immediately brought the "Ye Xiwu" he had captured to Tan Tai Jin to test him: "Your Highness, this woman has been following you all the way. I haven't had time to check her identity yet. Do you know this person?"

Tan Tai Jin saw the disheveled "Ye Xiwu" early in the morning. He had no feelings for Ye Xiwu before, and he regarded her as a tool for the person who took over her body later. But thinking of Jiang Xinxin, he thought about it and asked Lan Anzhi to keep her. "This person is Ye Xiwu, the favorite daughter of General Ye Xiao of Sheng Kingdom. Emperor Sheng once granted her marriage to me. It's good for her to come with us. She can also be a hostage for us."

Lan Anzhi carefully looked at Tan Tai Jin's expression again and again, and found that he really had no special feelings for "Ye Xiwu". He was somewhat disappointed, but Ye Xiwu's identity as the daughter of a great general was indeed worthy of sparing her life for the time being. However, Lan Anzhi still wanted to continue testing "Ye Xiwu", so he immediately asked someone to take "Ye Xiwu" downstairs to wash her up, and sent her to Tan Tai Jin's room at night.

Tan Tai Jin had his hair down, and was only wearing a cloak over his undergarment. When he looked at "Ye Xiwu", his face was full of confusion.

Li Susu was already shy and embarrassed about having to live in the same room with Tan Tai Jin. When she saw the confusion on Tan Tai Jin's face and eyes, she felt inexplicably aggrieved. He had clearly lied to Lan Anzhi for her safety in broad daylight, so why was he still pretending now?

Tan Tai Jin no longer has any good feelings towards "Ye Xiwu". He used to be kind to her because of her secret skills in drawing talismans and setting up formations. Now that he has left the general's mansion, there is no need for him to be kind to this lonely ghost who has taken over his body.

But in order to cooperate with Lan Anzhi's test, he couldn't really abandon him, so he looked at "Ye Xiwu" and said coldly: "Since you insist on following me, then be quiet. When we get to Jingguo, I may not be able to protect you."

Li Susu just thought that Tan Tai Jin was worried about her safety, and she couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart. She hadn't thought about love yet, and she just thought that the joy in her heart was because Tan Tai Jin was not a heartless person, and that it would be just around the corner for him to destroy the demon bones and eliminate the Demon Lord.
