Chapter 841: 841 Past events of that year, reunion! [1st update]
Everyone in Cangyuan Country knows that more than forty years ago, the former queen died from massive bleeding during childbirth.
The baby, because it stayed in the mother’s body for too long, finally suffocated to death.
Beirut King was deeply saddened, fell seriously ill, and the Cangyuan Citizens mourned voluntarily.
This was because the former queen was a merciful and kind queen mother, always doing her best to help the struggling Cangyuan citizens.
Her prestige among the people was very high and at one point even surpassed that of Beirut King.
After the former queen passed away, the Cangyuan Citizens also missed her greatly and many would go to pay their respects on her memorial day each year.
But virtually no one knew that the former queen didn’t die from childbirth, but was murdered by Beirut King.
All those who knew were secretly executed by Beirut King.
If the news that the former queen was still alive reached Beirut King first, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Madam, Beirut is ruthless enough to harm you and your own son, even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs!" The maid took a deep breath, "He’s not fit to be the king of Cangyuan!"
"He thinks I don’t know the High Priest’s prophecy, but I do." Lady Huai Xi said calmly, "So I already sent the child away."
She used all her strength to send her child to the Land and sealed his bloodline to make him like a human.
"Madam..." the maid said softly, "But the Land is also extremely dangerous, the Mortal World is not entirely safe."
"Better than sitting and waiting to die in Atlantis." Lady Huai Xi’s voice was very light, "As long as he’s alive, even as an ordinary person, it would be good enough... cough cough cough!"
As she spoke, she began to cough violently.
This illness wasn’t left from childbirth but came about when she escorted her child to the Mortal World, the cold invaded her body, engulfing her limbs, almost freezing her.
Such cold meant nothing to her.
But at that time, time was pressing, she couldn’t possibly treat it, and over time, it became a chronic illness, still unsolved.
Lady Huai Xi didn’t know when she might die, she just hoped to see her child again before she died, to confirm he was living well.
But with the Zeroing Community closed, she couldn’t get any new information about the Mortal World, and could only linger in this small house.
The most dangerous place is also the safest place.
Forty years have passed, and Beirut King didn’t expect that the former queen was right under his nose.
"Madam." The maid worriedly draped a cloak over her, "But that Divine Doctor seems like a very good person, she’s the only one who stopped to treat you."
"Yes, and somehow, that little girl gives me a strangely close feeling." Lady Huai Xi murmured, "As if I have seen her before."
The maid was somewhat surprised, "Madam?"
"Perhaps an illusion." Lady Huai Xi shook her head, "Let’s take it one step at a time, my body won’t collapse so easily."
She was also an Alpha Level of the Divine Bloodline, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become a queen.
But to prevent Beirut King from discovering her traces, she also partially sealed her bloodline.
At least for now, it’s not the time to unseal it.
Lady Huai Xi gazed at the medicine bottle left by Ye Wanlan in a trance, "Where have I seen it before..."

Neptune Military Academy.
On Baili Changkong’s island.
Yan Tingfeng handed over a skewer of grilled fish, gently asking, "Xiao Wan suspects that the lady you saved is the former queen?"
"Yes." Ye Wanlan rubbed her brow, "The timeline fits too well, and when I was treating her earlier, the strength of her body didn’t match her displayed condition."
"Since uncle wasn’t killed by Beirut at birth, it’s indeed possible the former queen is still alive." Yan Tingfeng smiled slightly, "The former queen was smart and wise, not without means to escape."
"I know." Ye Wanlan nodded, "That’s why I will continue to treat her tomorrow."
"Beirut tried to kill the former queen not only because of prophecy." Yan Tingfeng’s voice was calm, "It was also because the former queen’s prestige was too high, which stirred his killing intent."
Ye Wanlan laughed coldly, "Not fit to be a father, not fit to be a husband, certainly not fit to be a king of a country."
"Beirut surely doesn’t know the former queen is still alive, otherwise he would have acted long ago." Yan Tingfeng said solemnly, "Xiao Wan, if she’s indeed the former queen, we must protect her well."
"The day of the prophecy draws closer, who knows if Beirut won’t act like a cornered beast." Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed, "Perhaps he hasn’t realized that the prophecy is being driven forward by himself."
That’s the terrifying nature of prophecy.
No matter how one tries to avoid prophecy or erase any possibility for the prophecy to come true, it instead makes the prophecy come true.
No matter what, only the result predicted in the prophecy will appear.
Yan Tingfeng murmured at those words, "People too are being pushed forward by fate..."
Rong Shi’s prophecies have never been wrong.
He lowered his head, looking at his own hands, the black patterns faintly visible.
He might not be able to decide the time of his death, but he could decide the manner of his death.
At the very least, he would die with value.

The next day, Ye Wanlan went as promised to treat Lady Huai Xi.
After finishing the acupuncture, she looked up, "Madam only needs to take the medicine on time, in seven days, the condition will heal."
"The Divine Doctor is truly divine." The maid was overjoyed, "She can even heal a chronic illness that lasted for more than forty years."
Lady Huai Xi also felt her whole body’s blood and qi flowing smoothly, she stood up and deeply bowed to Ye Wanlan, "Thank you again for saving me, Little Friend, although you said no need for repayment, I must repay you."
Ye Wanlan suddenly looked up, asking word by word, "May I ask if Madam is the former queen, Beitang Xinyi?"
"Shing——!"
Before the words fell, a short sword was already placed across Ye Wanlan’s throat.
The Sword Edge was sharp, its tip gleaming coldly.
Lady Huai Xi, though sick for more than forty years, hadn’t lost any of her skills.
How she drew the short sword was too swift even for the maid to see.
An inch forward, and she could easily slit Ye Wanlan’s throat.
"Don’t move!" Her expression instantly turned cold, "I am not a benevolent person, my hands are stained with several lives."
Ye Wanlan remained calm, showing no sign of fear, instead smiled, "Those who were slain by the Beitang Queen weren’t all villains? They all deserved death."
Lady Huai Xi’s expression changed, "Who are you?!"
Under her gaze, Ye Wanlan raised her hand, slowly removing the Human Skin Mask from her face.
