Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Emperor Sheng still has some vision. If there were a different emperor, I'm afraid the Ye family would not be able to escape this disaster.

However, the eldest princess's actions also made Emperor Sheng in the palace notice Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying.

Hearing that Xiao Lin had sent a gift to Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying when they got married, Emperor Sheng ordered someone to secretly investigate the background of Shi Ying and Jiang Xinxin.

After all, although Shi Ying had deliberately concealed the fact that he had treated difficult and complicated diseases over the years, he still could not hide it from the royal family, so Shi Ying's identity as a hermit master was exposed in front of Emperor Sheng.

As for Jiang Xinxin, her origin is really simple. The only thing that is not simple is that she has a relatively smart mind and very enviable luck. She can actually marry Shi Ying, a cultivator who is obviously from the fairy mountain.

When Emperor Sheng saw that the cultivator Shi Ying actually married like a mortal, compared to Pang Yizhi who was from the Xiaoyao Sect, he thought that Shi Ying would be easier to control, so after much deliberation he decided to summon Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying to the palace to test the waters first.

Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying looked at each other in bewilderment after receiving the order, not knowing what had happened to offend Emperor Sheng. Mother Chen was worried but could only try her best to comfort Jiang Xinxin, saying, "The emperor is not a tyrant. Besides, His Royal Highness Prince Xuancheng and Doctor Taichang are also in the palace. I guess the emperor just heard about you and your wife from somewhere and wanted to watch the fun."

Shi Ying also comforted Jiang Xinxin, "You and I are already monks. As long as Emperor Sheng has a clear mind, he will not make things difficult for us."

Being comforted one after another, Jiang Xinxin felt that she had overreacted and was somewhat embarrassed, but Shi Ying knew that Jiang Xinxin always hated the abuse of imperial power and would not easily deal with imperial power, so he spoke again: "Perhaps the emperor in the palace is more interested in me than in you. After all, I must be a great hermit with an extraordinary background in the mouths of others, while your background is detailed and traceable."

When they entered the palace the next day, Emperor Sheng did not put on airs and make Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying wait for long. However, the unconcealed appearance of Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying stunned everyone who had seen them. When this was reported to Emperor Sheng, he vaguely had some other thoughts, but time was urgent and he did not have time to think carefully. He was so shocked by the two beauties that came towards him that he was speechless.

Seeing Emperor Sheng coming over, Shi Ying and Jiang Xinxin made hand gestures and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty the Emperor is polite."

This way of greeting, which was exactly the same as that of Pang Yizi, a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, brought Emperor Sheng back to his senses. He nodded and raised his hand to offer them seats. Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying certainly would not refuse and sat down directly.

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin, who had worked as a maid in the general's mansion since she was a child, seemed to have no fear of the palace or him, Emperor Sheng smiled meaningfully and just ordered tea and snacks to be served quickly, but didn't say anything else.

But Shi Ying saw that look and kept it in mind, fearing that Emperor Sheng would attack Jiang Xinxin out of impulse. She decided to prepare some small gifts for Emperor Sheng after returning to scare him of his little thoughts.

Next, Emperor Sheng asked about some taboos in their practice. There was nothing to hide, so Shi Yinghe answered everything. However, Jiang Xinxin suddenly became annoyed, and a surge of malice suddenly rose in her heart. Although she suppressed it in time, it still caught Emperor Sheng's attention.

Emperor Sheng looked at Jiang Xinxin with concern and asked, "What happened to Madam Shi? Did I fail to entertain you well?"

Jiang Xinxin forced herself to cheer up and deal with Emperor Sheng, saying, "I am troubled by one thing, but it sounds really unbelievable. Besides, I haven't asked the person involved yet, so I can't say anything in front of His Majesty."

Jiang Xinxin suddenly thought of Ye Xiwu, whose body was possessed. She made excuses like this, but in fact she was waiting for Emperor Sheng to continue asking questions. As expected, Emperor Sheng did not disappoint her and asked with interest, "May I know who is involved in this matter? Why don't I summon the person involved to the palace, and ask Madam to ask carefully."

Jiang Xinxin relaxed her brows and smiled, "Your Majesty, please ask the Grand Princess to come over. This matter concerns the Grand Princess' blood relatives. It would be best if the Concubine of Prince Xuancheng could also come along."

Emperor Sheng's expression immediately became serious. "If he is my aunt's blood relative, then he is also my real relative. I also want to know what it is that makes Madam so serious."

Jiang Xinxin originally wanted to tell Emperor Sheng what she wanted to say first, and of course she didn't mind Emperor Sheng eavesdropping. Soon, the eldest princess and Ye Bingshang entered the palace. However, the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren who met at the palace gate were very nervous, worried that the palace had already made a decision on the Ye family's affairs, so the atmosphere along the way was very depressing.

But I didn't expect that when I met Sheng Huang, I would see Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying accompanying him.

After the Grand Princess and Ye Bingshang greeted each other, Emperor Sheng was too lazy to exchange pleasantries and directly explained to them, "Madam Shi, I have something important to say. It concerns your blood relatives, and I am also very worried."

The Grand Princess and Ye Bingshang looked at Jiang Xinxin at the same time, and Jiang Xinxin spoke directly, "Years ago, there was a demon plague in Banzhen Mountain in the south of the city. His Royal Highness the Prince of Xuancheng and Doctor Taichang worked together to eliminate the demon. During that incident, the second young lady of the general's mansion claimed that she had lost some memories due to a brain injury. In fact, the person who was found was not the second young lady Ye Xiwu herself. She had been possessed by another spirit."

Even Ye Bingshang knew exactly what was going on. The eldest princess' body softened and she almost couldn't sit still on the chair. She stared at Jiang Xinxin and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke: "Madam Shi, I know you are not the same as you were before, but since you have said some things, you'd better have evidence!"

Emperor Sheng also agreed, "Yes, Xiwu was a very naughty child before, but she finally changed after getting married. Madam, you can't say that she has been possessed by someone else and has become a different person just because she has become more stable."

Ye Bingshang just put on an expression of disbelief, and didn't say a word, or even make any unnecessary movements, so as not to attract anyone's attention in the hall. But her mind was already frantically recalling the rumors about "Ye Xiwu" before and after Banzhen Mountain.

After taking off the filter of so-called relatives and with Jiang Xinxin's firm words in mind, Ye Bingshang was sure that the person who returned from Banzhen Mountain was not Ye Xiwu himself, because from that day on, Ye Xiwu's previous reputation of being unlearned, naughty, and cruel began to gradually change. This was absolutely not something Ye Xiwu could do.

Especially since "Ye Xiwu" didn't seem to care at all about how she and Xiao Lin got along, and seemed not to even care about her situation.

Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying exchanged a glance, and then spoke again after putting on enough pretense: "The Second Young Lady used to beat and scold the servants at will, and sometimes even beat them to death when she was slightly unhappy. That's why the maids in her yard were always replaced within half a year, and everyone only dared to do what she wanted. Now, Chuntao, who has been with the Second Young Lady for more than a year, must have experienced this better."

Without waiting for the eldest princess to say anything, Jiang Xinxin continued, "There is always a logic behind a person's behavior. Even if the second young lady has lost her memory, she shouldn't have liked soft and sweet snacks before, but now suddenly changed to salty crispy snacks. She also shouldn't have changed her favorite red clothes and turned to those plain blue and green ones."

"Also, after returning from Banzhen Mountain, the Second Miss has completely forgotten about the flaming red nine-section whip that she always carries with her!"

"Memory can indeed affect a person's behavior, but it can never make a person become completely different from who he was before!"

The Grand Princess still found it hard to accept, but Emperor Sheng began to believe Jiang Xinxin's words. After all, in his inherent concept, the servants who served them were the ones who knew their masters best, and Jiang Xinxin happened to be Ye Xiwu's confidant in the past, so it was not surprising that she could discover the difference in Ye Xiwu.

But whether Ye Xiwu herself has been possessed by another body is no longer just the Ye family's business, because "Ye Xiwu" herself is chasing after Tan Tai Jin, and Emperor Sheng wants to ensure that "Ye Xiwu" will not affect any actions of the Sheng Kingdom.
