Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 944 - 96: Bygone Events

When Empress Li turned sixteen, she encountered the elegant Emperor of Great Zhou, Ye Chengtian, at an auction.

Ye Chengtian learned of Empress Li’s identity, saw her outstanding beauty, and as the sole daughter of the Li family, he began to pursue her earnestly.

Before long, Empress Li fell for Ye Chengtian, and after they married, Empress Li devoted herself entirely to aiding Ye Chengtian.

But ultimately, she was handed over by the Emperor of Great Zhou to someone else.

Empress Li, upon meeting Hei Yao, finally recognized that he was the man she had saved earlier.

Hei Yao told Empress Li that two years ago, due to a careless practice, he nearly lost his life.

When he was awakened, he saw Empress Li for the first time and immediately fell for her.

But Empress Li left with the caravan without a word.

For the past two years, he had been searching for Empress Li.

However, after hearing Hei Yao’s confession, Empress Li not only wasn’t happy but angrily rebuked Hei Yao.

In a fit of rage, Hei Yao forced himself on her.

According to the agreement between Hei Yao and the Emperor of Great Zhou, Empress Li endured the most humiliating seven days and nights of her life.

After that, Hei Yao suggested taking her back to the Bahuang Continent.

He promised that although he could not offer her a position like Ye Chengtian did, he assured her that as long as he lived, she would be his most cherished woman.

Empress Li angrily refused, threatening suicide, leaving Hei Yao no choice but to send her back to Great Zhou.

Upon returning to Great Zhou, Empress Li soon discovered she was pregnant.

When the Emperor of Great Zhou, Ye Chengtian, found out, he was furious, and he neglected Empress Li, mocking her coldly.

Until Ye Beiming was born, who was blind at birth. Maybe knowing that such a child would never be important to Hei Yao, Ye Chengtian tore off all pretenses and threw the mother and son into the Cold Palace.

The only comfort for Empress Li was that although Ye Beiming was blind, he was different from other children; he had a unique constitution, and his learning ability was astonishing.

Mother and son relied on each other, but Empress Li kept the past events in her heart, ultimately becoming depressed; a generation’s beauty had an unfortunate fate.

"Mother told me these things only on the night before she passed away." Ye Beiming said at this point and could not continue.

Empress Li told Ye Beiming that regardless of whether he was a descendant of the Eight Desolates, he must promise her never to do anything that would harm the Human Clan.

At the time, Ye Beiming did not fully understand, and only after he reached adulthood and learned about the Eight Desolate Beast Blood Realm did he truly comprehend.

These events, Ye Beiming never shared, even with his friends Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao.

In his mind, it was a shame from his past, and with the passing of Empress Li and the Emperor of Great Zhou, everyone who knew the truth died.

He had initially sighed relief.

He never anticipated that at this moment, people from the Hei Qilin Clan would come looking for him again.

"After hearing all this, you should already know that although I am the Regent King now, I am not a member of the Dazhou Royal Family. If one day my identity is exposed, I could end up with nothing or even be hunted by everyone. Even so, would you still be willing to marry me?" Ye Beiming looked at Yun Sheng.

He had betrayed the Hei Qilin Clan, losing everything.

Before marrying Yun Sheng, he hoped that she would know everything about him.

As Yun Sheng listened to Ye Beiming’s confessions, she discovered for the first time that he also had such a vulnerable side.

A child just a few years old, living under the shadow of his mother’s death and his own identity.

Yun Sheng had little connection with her mother Hu Jiusheng.

But from the fragments left in the Beast Language Ring, Yun Sheng knew that Hu Jiusheng cherished her dearly, especially before she lost her memory, she loved the child within her.

Yun Sheng could feel a kind of sadness emanating from him.

This sadness caused Yun Sheng inexplicable fear, as if Ye Beiming might disappear the next moment.

"Ye Hu, everything is in the past," Yun Sheng approached and embraced Ye Beiming. "From now on, I will bear all of your joy and sorrow together with you. Promise me, no matter what happens, you will tell me."

Yun Sheng, like a mother comforting a wounded child, gently stroked Ye Beiming’s hair.

The sky gradually darkened, and Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming just sat quietly.

Inside the Cold Palace, beside the portrait of Empress Li, a thirty-minute incense had burned out, the ashes fell, and the last dim flame illuminated the face of Empress Li in the portrait.

When Ye Beiming woke up, he was already in the sleeping chamber, and Yun Sheng was gone.

He accidentally fell asleep and slept until dawn.

The palace maid who served him said Yun Sheng had left early because there was an issue at Little Ci’en Hall.

"Regent King, someone sent a letter early this morning, saying you should inspect it personally," the palace maid brought a letter, with no signature on it.

Ye Beiming glanced at the letter after receiving it.

After reading the letter, Ye Beiming’s expression held a touch of surprise.

Who would have thought the letter was from him?

After some thought, Ye Beiming still followed the instructions in the letter and went to a tavern in Yujing City.

It was a secluded tavern where someone of Ye Beiming’s status would never appear. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Inside the tavern, someone was already waiting.

The person was wearing a bamboo hat, sitting quietly on one side of the tavern, drinking alone, only stopping when Ye Beiming entered.

"You still dare come to Great Zhou," Ye Beiming stood, facing the man without taking a seat.

"There’s no place in the world that Dugu Xiu dares not go," said the bamboo hat-wearing man as he removed it, revealing a head of vibrant red hair.

The man who wrote the letter to Ye Beiming turned out to be Prince of Later Qin, Dugu Xiu.

No, he should now be called Emperor Qin, as on the fourth day after Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming left Hou Qin, Dugu Xiu succeeded to the throne.

After inheriting the throne of Emperor Qin, Dugu Xiu quickly quelled various regional rebellions and swiftly punished a few Princes opposing him, thus suppressing the unrest in Hou Qin.

During Dugu Xiu’s busy period, he suddenly received the news,

The Regent King of Great Zhou is soon to marry Yun Sheng from Yun Residence.

Not only did Dugu Xiu receive the news, but Hei Linlin, who constantly kept an eye on Ye Beiming, also heard it.

Hei Linlin was furious, but as she had to seclude herself for cultivation, she couldn’t leave Bahuang Continent.

In desperation, Hei Linlin shared with Dugu Xiu the inscriptions she had seen on a stone tablet in the Kirin Forbidden Land.

Upon hearing the news, Dugu Xiu rushed to Great Zhou.

Seeing Dugu Xiu, Ye Beiming was not surprised.

Dugu Xiu had deep feelings for Yun Sheng; if he heard she was getting married and stayed indifferent, he wouldn’t be Dugu Xiu.

But Ye Beiming didn’t expect that Dugu Xiu chose not to crash the wedding but instead opted for a peaceful talk, a choice completely different from his Iron-blooded Crown Prince style.

Their meeting lasted only fifteen minutes.

No one knew what Ye Beiming and Dugu Xiu talked about.

Only when Dugu Xiu left, he coldly laughed, "Ye Beiming, you will regret this."
