Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 872 - 24: Ye Beiming Has Rebelled

The flames roared, climbing from the clothes to the hair.

The fire was bizarre, no matter how much one tried to extinguish it, the fire did not diminish. Instead, it grew stronger, causing the Granny with big feet to scream, her facial skin being burned piece by piece.

"I’m being burned alive, help!" The granny cried out miserably, rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames on her body.

"Oh no, quick, put out the fire," as Yun Sheng spoke, Donghuang Lingling immediately understood, both shouting for help while rushing forward.

One kick followed another, stamping and kicking.

Both of them, though their magic power had not recovered, had not forgotten the skills learned from the Dark Gold Master earlier, hitting precisely at vital spots.

With such fierce and accurate attacks, the granny was already wailing from the fire; being attacked by the two, she soon fainted without even being able to hum.

Several people had already been lurking outside Taxue Garden, waiting for the show. Hearing the commotion, they rushed inside.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and someone rushed in.

Leading them was a young woman dressed in pear blossom and emerald smoke attire. Her face bore a proud expression, and upon entering the courtyard and seeing the overturned fire basin and the Granny with big feet burned beyond recognition, her brows furrowed.

"How dare you! How could you attack Nanny He?"

The young woman raised her willow-like eyebrows, reprimanding angrily.

This granny was the nurturing nanny she brought into the Crown Prince Mansion. Usually, the maids and attendants were all respectful upon seeing her.

"How dare you! Who are you to speak to the Crown Princess Consort like that?" Lady Li retorted, seeing the woman standing before her.

Lady Li considered herself a national beauty, but though the woman was dressed as an attendant, her looks and demeanor were in no way inferior to those of Princess Tang Yuan-born Lady Li.

"You! Someone, take this foolish maid away and beat her mercilessly," Once Lady Li recognized the attire of the other, her anger grew even more.

Damn it, even a maid who was brought along had astonishing beauty, and dared to talk back to her.

"Stop," the cold female voice made everyone in the courtyard halt.

All eyes fell on a young woman not far away.

The woman’s voice was like a winter chill, standing in the courtyard without sunlight.

Wearing a fiery red dress, with pitch-black eyes, snowy skin, flawless delicate features, her whole being was cold as snow, yet her beauty was like a summer sun, lighting up this secluded courtyard entirely.

Lady Li’s pupils shrank as if stung by the woman’s beauty.

Was she the Princess of Eastern Capital?

The lowly civilian princess?

Lady Li’s gaze fell on the red Luan Feather Skirt Yun Sheng wore, and upon recognizing the garment, jealousy grew like wild grass in her heart.

It was a skirt made of Luan feathers. More than a year ago, Prince Dugu found a Holy-grade Fire Feathered Bird during a hunt at the border.

These Luan Birds were extremely rare, and at the time Prince Dugu only hunted one. Even Emperor of Great Zhou and Empress Qing didn’t get a Fire Feathered Bird.

Unexpectedly, the garment made of Fire Feathered Bird’s feathers was given to "Donghuang Sheng."

"Donghuang Sheng, how dare you, to block me?" Lady Li stared at Yun Sheng’s face, her eyes filled only with jealousy and hatred.

She had anticipated a "cowardly Crown Princess Consort," but didn’t expect this princess from the Eastern Capital to be no pushover.

As soon as Lady Li finished speaking, the maids beside her surged forward, surrounding Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.

Lady Li came prepared today. These maids she brought were chosen from Tang Yuan, with martial arts or magic skills.

"So what if I’m daring? Let me ask you, who are you and who am I?" Yun Sheng, facing such a situation, instead of anger, smiled, adding a touch of charm to her gaze.

Her already stunning face shone with an alluring brilliance that couldn’t be ignored.

"You! I!" Yun Sheng’s mere statement rendered Lady Li speechless.

"Can’t answer? Let me tell you, I am Donghuang Sheng, Crown Prince Consort chosen by Prince of Later Qin, Dugu Xiu himself. You are Lady Li, a concubine of the Crown Prince Mansion. I say one is one, I say two is two. Now, take yourself and your people and get out of Taxue Garden."

Unseen, a hint of murderous intent seeped into Yun Sheng’s eyes, her voice icy as winter wind, causing chills and fright.

Originally arrogant, Lady Li felt a sense of shame.

Indeed, in terms of status, she was inferior to Yun Sheng, but today’s matter at Taxue Garden would not be settled easily.

"Wait until the Crown Prince returns, then see how I deal with you," Lady Li stomped away with her maids, carrying Nanny He.

One by one, they streamed out of Taxue Garden.

Outside Taxue Garden, Lady Chi Bi played with a small golden python in her hand, watching Lady Li storm out, she muttered under her breath, "Useless."

Lady Chi Bi glanced at the sky, where an eagle flew past, and she smiled slightly.

The eagle flew into Feather Carving Garden, where another concubine of Dugu Xiu, Qing Family, raised her hand, upon which the eagle landed.

The eagle cooed a few times.

Qing Family raised her eyebrows: "Big fellow, are you saying Lady Li was driven out?"

Qing Family intended to watch Lady Li deal with the Crown Prince Consort, yet that civilian princess reputedly powerless and unskilled proved prickly.

"Well, there’s still three months until the Crown Prince’s wedding. Given Lady Li’s nature, she won’t let this go." Qing Family contemplated, seemed she had to personally meet this Crown Princess Consort.

In the Golden Throne Hall, Emperor Qin, Dugu Sheng, was discussing with several ministers.

"Reporting to His Eminence, the Crown Prince has returned," the Imperial Eunuch announced sharply.

Dugu Xiu strode into the Golden Throne Hall, Dugu Sheng seeing him, his brows relaxed slightly.

"I wonder what’s so urgent, Father Emperor?" Dugu Xiu seemed distracted, having rushed to the Golden Throne Hall, only then recalling he hadn’t arranged accommodation for Yun Sheng.

There was no suitable courtyard for Yun Sheng in the Crown Prince Mansion at the moment.

"Emperor Beiming of Dazhou has rebelled," Dugu Sheng offered a secret report to Dugu Xiu.

Night Beiming has rebelled?

Upon hearing the news, Dugu Xiu was puzzled.

Unexpectantly, after enduring for many years as a Prince of Great Zhou, after Great Zhou dethroned a Crown Prince, and died another Crown Prince, yet established a new one, Night Beiming quietly bore it all.

He never rebelled before, but now suddenly he did.

However, upon opening the secret report, it contained only eight characters.

Upon clearly reading those eight characters, Dugu Xiu involuntarily shivered, and the secret letter fell to the ground.
