Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 954 - 106: His Vow, Her Duty

Great Zhou is in frequent crisis, if Yun Bahe agrees to step forward, there might still be a turnaround.

"Sheng’er, you don’t need to persuade grandfather anymore, Great Zhou Dynasty, not a single decent thing, Ye Chengtian is worse than a beast, and Ye Beiming hasn’t had a trace of news. This father and son, I almost didn’t slash them myself," Yun Bahe said angrily.

That old brat Ye Chengtian made Yun Bahe endure humiliation.

Yun Bahe regretted it deeply.

It’s all his fault for having blind eyes and mistakenly trusting Ye Beiming’s sweet talk, thinking that a bad bamboo can produce good shoots, and that Ye Beiming would turn out well. Unexpectedly on his wedding day, he abandoned his precious granddaughter.

He initially thought his granddaughter had found a good man, and in a few years, he would be carrying a chubby great-grandson. But now, nominally married, his granddaughter doesn’t even know where her husband went.

This is nothing but living as a widow.

"Grandfather, I can’t explain things about Beiming to you right now, but I assure you, he is not a heartless person, he hasn’t abandoned me. I believe he just encountered difficulties and will return someday. While he’s absent, I’ll guard Great Zhou, he betrothed with mountains and rivers, and I will give back splendid landscapes," Yun Sheng’s words left Yun Bahe speechless for a moment.

Ye Beiming once promised to protect Empress Dowager Wenren and the little emperor for life.

Since Yun Sheng has pledged with Ye Beiming, she is now his wife.

Regardless of whether he returns or when he returns, she will wait for him.

She will uphold his oath.

At that moment, Yun Sheng’s eyes were exceptionally determined.

Seeing this, Yun Bahe sighed deeply.

"Well, well, Sheng’er, I’ve lived a lifetime, what grudges and feuds should I still concern myself with. It’s your generation’s world now. But as long as you want to do it, grandfather will help you do it, as long as grandfather still breathes."

Because of this, Yun Bahe returned to the Great Zhou Court, resulting in that previous scene.

Learning Yun Sheng persuaded Yun Bahe to step out again, Empress Dowager Wenren was grateful and emotional, bringing the little emperor Ye Beicheng to Yun Residence to thank Yun Sheng.

"Empress Dowager, there’s no need for ceremony. In private, I’m a citizen of Great Zhou, when it’s in trouble, I ought to step in and help. Officially, I’m Ye Beiming’s wife, I’ll fulfill his promises. However, my help also comes with conditions." Yun Sheng stared at Empress Dowager Wenren and the little emperor.

Especially the little emperor, he felt a compelling force in Yun Sheng’s gaze, making him fearful.

Empress Dowager Wenren’s heart tightened, she had met Yun Sheng a few times, her impression limited to Ye Beiming’s beloved, the proprietor of Little Ci’en Hall.

But seeing Yun Sheng today, she felt this woman was extraordinary.

Within a few days, recovering from Ye Beiming’s disappearance, she appeared not to be an ordinary person.

Despite why Yun Sheng keeps her maiden hairstyle after the wedding, a natural majesty filled her brows.

Facing Yun Sheng, a dozen years younger, Empress Dowager Wenren felt a delusion as if facing Ye Beiming.

They were so alike, both carried a grandeur that could swallow mountains and rivers.

After pondering a moment over Great Zhou’s situation, Empress Dowager Wenren agreed, "Regent Princess Consort, just speak, as long as I can do it, I will agree."

"Firstly, I substitute my husband to stabilize the court, so I must have absolute power like him, from now on, I am the Regent King of Great Zhou." Yun Sheng’s statement made Empress Dowager Wenren’s face slightly change.

Yet she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Ye Beiming is absent, transferring his power to Yun Sheng is entirely proper.

"Secondly, I want custody of the little emperor," Yun Sheng’s gaze sharpened, looking at Ye Beicheng.

Fair and delicate, clearly someone sheltered from hardships, Ye Beicheng shrunk into Empress Dowager Wenren’s embrace under Yun Sheng’s gaze.

He muttered, "Mother Empress, I don’t want to leave you, I won’t go with this woman."

A child’s intuition is always the most accurate, Ye Beicheng felt he’d never live well if he followed Yun Sheng.

Empress Dowager Wenren was unwilling too, comforting Ye Beicheng as she refused politely, "Regent Princess Consort, this request truly forces me. The Empress Dowager only has Beicheng, he’s too young to leave me."

Ultimately, Empress Dowager Wenren still didn’t fully trust Yun Sheng and Yun Residence.

Earlier, Elder Chen bewitched her ears, claiming the Regent King’s disappearance might involve Yun Residence.

Others said Emperor Dugu from Hou Qin came alone earlier, had secret talks with Yun Sheng.

Empress Dowager Wenren couldn’t help but recall rumors of Yun Sheng and Emperor Dugu’s gossip.

Handing over the little emperor to Yun Sheng, no one could ensure she wouldn’t wield power over Great Zhou.

"Empress Dowager isn’t willing shouldn’t force it, me and grandfather will leave Yujing today, Great Zhou’s crisis you solve yourself," Yun Sheng anticipated Empress Dowager Wenren’s refusal.

"Princess, you’re threatening the Empress Dowager!" Empress Dowager Wenren, like a provoked tigress, glared at Yun Sheng angrily.

"I am threatening you. Empress Dowager Wenren, don’t flaunt royal airs at me. I, Yun Sheng, never feared imperial power. Back then, I wasn’t afraid of Ye Chengtian, what’s there in Great Zhou now for me to fear? I’m taking the little emperor for your own good, seeing him like that mud that can’t stack up, even without rebellion, he’s a useless waste," Yun Sheng chastised coldly.

Yun Sheng was well aware; she wouldn’t stay in Great Zhou forever.

Regarding the Ancient Qilin Curse and the whereabouts of mother Hu Jiusheng, she needed investigation.

Great Zhou needs a resolute emperor, not a crybaby emperor clutching Empress Dowager’s skirt daily.

After hearing, Empress Dowager Wenren’s eyes turned red.

As Empress Dowager, it’s been years since anyone spoke so to her.

Yet Yun Sheng’s words awoke her.

If she doesn’t learn to let go, Beicheng might remain a flower in a hothouse.

Human effort has limits, she can’t oversee Beicheng forever.

Seeing Empress Dowager Wenren’s reddened eyes, speechless.

Little emperor Ye Beicheng bit his tender lip, like provoked young beast charging forward, "I am not mud, you’re a bad woman, don’t insult mother empress."

Yet before he rushed forward, he stumbled over something, a row of floor thorns appeared. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ye Beicheng was first stunned, yet he dodged the thorns still, panting after several evasions.

His legs were cut with multiple wounds.

However, this time Ye Beicheng didn’t cry or plead with Empress Dowager Wenren for help.

He wanted to prove he was not mud.
