Chapter 235: Chapter 97: Royal Family Scandal
The matter must start from the Blood Cloud Beast Soul Stone a few months ago.
After obtaining the Blood Cloud Beast Soul Stone, Crown Prince Ye Beilian carefully preserved it.
In the following two months, he was striving to beco a Magic Master and finally, just recently, he succeeded in reaching the bottleneck of a Magic Master.
Preparing to advance to Jinshi Level, Ye Beilian eagerly took out that soul stone, ready to use it for fusion.
The Blood Cloud Beast is extrely rare on the continent, comparable to a seventh-eighth rank Demon Beast.
Ye Beilian had heard before that once the Blood Cloud Beast’s soul stone rges into a Magic Wand, it could exert a profoundly mysterious effect.
Moreover, on the soul stone of the Blood Cloud Beast, there could still be the long-lost Eight Desolate Magic.
Shortly after the breakthrough, to imdiately fuse the soul stone, undoubtedly has the best effect.
This ti, the Blood Cloud Beast’s soul stone indeed ca at the right mont.
Rembering how he demanded Ye Beiming to hand over the soul stone in front of everyone at Wuxuan Wuji Hall, a sense of pride surged in Ye Beilian’s heart.
Ye Beiming, no matter how brave and battle-savvy you are, the father king deems you an ominous person, just like your dead mother, destined for Hell when no longer of use.
Ye Beilian, one year older than Ye Beiming, had seen Ye Beiming’s mother, who was also previously known as the greatest beauty in Great Zhou, Empress Li.
He still rembers the first ti he saw Empress Li, it was in the palace.
His mother took him to pay respects to Empress Li.
Empress Li, the woman of legend who had single-handedly supported the Emperor of Great Zhou, appeared amidst a group of palace maids, making Ye Beilian feel dizzy.
He felt that in front of Empress Li, his own mother seed insignificant.
With skin like snow, full lips, and a pair of captivating eyes, her long hair was piled high up resembling dark clouds, making all the won in the harem re ornants in front of Empress Li.
Such beauty truly existed in heavens but not on earth.
However, Ye Beilian could never understand why his father disliked such a stunning Empress Li, but instead showed excessive fondness for his seemingly fragile-looking Mother Qi.
As Ye Beilian grew older, he eventually learned from the lips of so elder palace maids in the palace.
That the Emperor did not like Empress Li because she was too perfect.
The current Empress, Ye Beilian’s mother, is the daughter of the Emperor’s ntor.
The Emperor and Ye Beilian’s mother could be described as childhood sweethearts who grew up together, but when the Emperor was still a prince, in order to stand out among his brothers, he married the eldest daughter of Great Zhou’s wealthiest rchant, the Li family, who later beca Ye Beiming’s mother.
Thanks to the monetary and support of Ye Beiming’s maternal family, the Emperor finally ascended to the throne of the Crown Prince.
However, just half a year after he was made Crown Prince and married the Crown Princess, citing the Crown Princess’s inability to bear children, he introduced Concubine Qi into the palace.
At that ti, Concubine Qi was already six months pregnant with the current Crown Prince Ye Beilian.
Strangers pitied Empress Li, as the daughter of Great Zhou’s richest rchant, Empress Li was not only famous for her beauty but was also proficient in the Four Arts, poetry, and even military strategy and magic.
She even established a terrifying underground power within Great Zhou with her own wealth and ability, covering everything from assassinations to support, involving Hunter Soldiers, the Magic Temple under Empress Li’s loyalists.
The Emperor’s success among the late Emperor’s sons was also by relying on Empress Li.
One would expect that after ascending to the throne, the Emperor would undoubtedly show great affection towards Empress Li, yet it has always been said that the Emperor could only achieve his position because of a woman.
For the Emperor of Great Zhou, who greatly valued his pride, it was naturally intolerable to have a woman more outstanding than himself.
He beca even more worried, for if Empress Li’s tactics continued, one day she would surely surpass him.
On the other hand, Crown Prince Ye Beilian’s mother, Empress Qi, was just the opposite; she had always been gentle and weak, standing by the Emperor of Great Zhou, always respectful and subservient in front of Empress Li.
In the end, Empress Li died, and Empress Qi took control.
Crown Prince Ye Beilian couldn’t help but feel smug, thinking to himself that Empress Li’s deanor was very much like Ye Beiming.
Both mother and son possessed unparalleled beauty and the sa indifference, always keeping a distance from others.
The innate aristocracy made him unconsciously feel ashad.
But what of it? Victory eventually belonged to him and the Empress Dowager.
Looking at the soul stone in his hand, Crown Prince Ye Beilian laughed heartily.
This was sothing Crown Prince Ye Beilian did not anticipate; this ti, the soul stone caused a significant mishap.
Crown Prince Ye Beilian’s strength was still far from sufficient to integrate that soul stone, so he had also enlisted two mages from the Crown Prince Mansion to protect him.
After all, he had already attempted to fuse with the Magic Soul Stone several tis and thought there wouldn’t be too many issues.
The soul stone of the Earth Bear, brimming with vitality and Magic Elents, was continuously rotating within the Magic Array.
Crown Prince Ye Beilian kept absorbing the Magic Power from the Magic Array until he reached the final step of integration, just as the soul stone was about to be embedded into the Magic Wand.
In the center of the soul stone, a nearly imperceptible Dark Magic Elent quietly sneaked from Crown Prince Ye Beilian’s Magic Wand into his body.
In his bloodstream, there suddenly ca a burst of severe pain.
Crown Prince Ye Beilian scread miserably, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The soul stone of the Earth Bear shattered instantly.
When the soul stone cracked, the Magic Elents hidden inside burst out like wild arrows.
The Magic Elents struck Crown Prince Ye Beilian’s Magic Wand, causing it to crack upon impact.
The two mages who had been helping to protect him were shocked; they imdiately enacted magic to block the wildly fleeing Magic Elents, akin to bullets.
"The soul stone... my soul stone," Crown Prince Ye Beilian roared, desperately watching the hard-won Blood Cloud Beast Soul Stone shattering before his eyes.
Inside him, the Magic Elents were in chaos, and at the last mont, his fusion failed miserably.
He did not know that what caused his last-mont fusion failure was the negligible Dark Magic Elent in the soul stone.
Crown Prince Ye Beilian was overwheld with fury, with blood stuck in his throat, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Before he passed out, he managed to instruct those nearby to imdiately summon Chen Lianlian.
When Chen Lianlian arrived, the Crown Prince was already unconscious.
"Crown Prince, what on earth happened to you?" Chen Lianlian hurriedly called for Cang Song from the Royal Magic Academy to examine the Crown Prince’s condition.
"The Crown Prince’s fusion with the soul stone failed, the backlash of the Magic Elents within his body injured himself, damaging his Magic Soul," said Cang Song after examining, shaking his head constantly.
"Damage to the Magic Soul? Is there a way to repair it for the Crown Prince?" Chen Lianlian was also deeply worried; if anything happened to the Crown Prince, her future status as the Crown Princess Consort would also be at stake.
"Repairing the Magic Soul is easier said than done. The Crown Prince has not only damaged his Magic Soul but also suffered severe injuries to his body. It’s best to first summon an Imperial Physician to assess the situation and then make a decision," Cang Song suggested.
