Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Chapter 175 Bai Sui'an gets angry

"Then what about those warriors who fought on the battlefield before?"

"You guys gave it up originally."

What Ye Zihu said didn't sound like a lie.

This made Bai Sui'an confused.

Is there something hidden behind what happened back then?

Including Ye Zihu said that he had communicated with the king of Tianxuan Kingdom in the past.

At that time, the relationship between the two countries had become strained and trade had stopped. How could there still be contact?

It can't be that the people in power are playing a big game?

Bai Sui'an didn't want to keep guessing: "Just tell me what you know, don't just say a few words and make me guess."

She was not polite at all.

It was obvious that Ye Zihu had already acted like an emperor when he called himself "I", but Bai Sui'an seemed to be unaffected at all.

"When I was in power, I also had experience leading troops in battle. It's not that I don't know how to fight."

He tried to make Bai Sui'an respect him more.

The wall of the cup in his hand also became warm. Bai Sui'an drank it all in one gulp, trying to gain some patience.

The bitterness her taste buds felt made her even more impatient.

This is the tea that Cheng Xu specially prepared for Ye Zihu. It must be the precious tea that Ye Zihu loves to drink.

"I understand. Let's talk about the matter."

In a trance, Ye Zihu saw himself lazily saying "If there is something to report, I will get up and report; if there is nothing to report, I will leave the court."

"Interesting. Chi'er brought back a Jianghu girl who is not afraid of me at all, and my other good Huang'er brought you who just wanted my head."

Ye Zihu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Seeing that Bai Sui'an had pursed his lips impatiently, he told the story.

"When I was still the Crown Prince, the previous Queen didn't want to marry me as the Crown Princess. In a fit of rage, she packed up her things and fled to Tianxuan Country. That's how she met your mother. The two of them got along really well. Perhaps strong-willed women like you can always get along."

Even Baili Mo can play with the former queen.

"Afterwards, she was captured and became my Crown Princess. The two countries have different philosophies and have been incompatible since ancient times. However, the Crown Princess wanted to change the situation, so she put a lot of effort into me.

I don't know what's so good about Tianxuan Country. She's always thinking about building good relations with Tianxuan Country. How powerful can a country led by a woman be? I guess they can't survive on the battlefield, right? That's what I thought at the time.

At that time, the Tianxuan Kingdom was still in civil strife. The third princess at the time, your mother, personally led the army to defeat the princesses who had joined forces with Yuan Kui in rebellion, and only then did she gain the right of succession. That year, she even chased him out and captured Yuan Kui with only 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Ye Zihu also expressed some regret when talking about it: "It's a pity that she came to power early, and my status is special. I never got to spar with her until I died."

He paused, wanting to hear what Bai Sui'an had to say, but Bai Sui'an just poured himself a refill of tea without saying anything.

That was the original body's mother, not the current Bai Sui'an's mother, so she could only listen to these old stories on behalf of the original body.

Ask her to express her thoughts, but she can't say anything.

That was the motherly love she had never felt before.

The mother could kindly say in front of the original owner that she only had this one child and no one would take away the original owner's throne, allowing the original owner to have fun outside while taking care of political affairs.

Thinking back to Bai Sui'an, I felt envious.

She still couldn't help but say, "No matter how powerful he is, he will still die, right?"

Moreover, her greatness was something she had experienced when she was young. If Ye Zihu had not remembered these things and told them out, Bai Sui'an would have never heard anyone discuss the deeds of the King of Tianxuan Kingdom.

"She could have lived, but she left her life to you, hoping that you would continue the life of Tianxuan Nation."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Zihu pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm? So she didn't tell you?"

Bai Sui'an searched his memory, but there didn't seem to be any shocking secrets?

"So, you don't even know where the life lamp is?"

Life lamp? What is that?

Bai Sui'an tried hard to think, but he had no idea about the word.

Ye Zihu laughed and said, "Haha, it's okay if you don't know. I didn't know it before, and I only found out after I ascended the throne."

"At the time of creation, there were no other nations. All people shared a common origin. Legend has it that there were two gods who led humanity, Xuan Yao and Chi Mu. Later, due to differing opinions, the two gods divided humanity into two separate lands, each dedicated to its own separate existence. These were the forerunners of Tian Xuan and Qian Heng."

"Later, the gods fought a fierce battle, but with no clear winner, they each appointed a ruler to reign over their respective nations, allowing them to continue their struggle. They also gave each of them a life lamp. If the ruler felt capable enough, they could use the lamp to extend their lifespan. Initially, humans did not want to face death, so they kept the lamps for themselves.

But extending lifespan isn't a permanent solution. The human body will still age, and living doesn't guarantee freedom from illness. Later, unwilling to endure the pain, our ancestors kept the matter of the Life Lamp a secret. Upon ascending to power, they contracted the Life Lamp with their young heir, promising that as long as the Life Lamp protected the heir and allowed them to live until they came to power, everything would be fine.

Bai Sui'an blinked. What Ye Zihu said was more story-like than the Journey to the West that she told her children every night.

As she listened, she couldn't help but drink a few more sips of tea. Now that Ye Zihu stopped, she realized that her entire mouth tasted bitter.

After the bitterness wears off, there's a hint of coolness in the mouth, and after tasting it, the summer heat doesn't affect you that much.

But Bai Sui'an was still very annoyed, not because of the weather, but because she followed Ye Zihu's words and guessed how he had treated the two brothers over the years.

Even after not seeing each other for so long, he didn't ask how the two brothers were doing.

"So you gave the Life Lamp to Ye Lingchi? You knew he wouldn't die, but you sent him to the battlefield, letting him take his family out of the palace and encounter misfortune. And you watched Ye Lingche come out with the child to help you find someone, and you remained indifferent?"

"He's still alive, isn't he?" Ye Zihu said, "Ling Che, look after the child. If Chi'er returns and something goes wrong and he can't succeed to the throne, then give the life lamp to the child, and you help support them."

Bai Sui'an had just finished drinking the tea in the cup and was fiddling with the cup in his hand when he heard what Ye Zihu said.

With force from his fingertips, the cup was crushed into pieces in an instant.

There were still bloodstains on the fragments.

"What do you think of them?" Bai Sui'an gritted his teeth.

If she hadn't come, Ye Lingche would have been poisoned to death, and the three children would have been sold away. But would Ye Lingchi be saved in the end?

It turns out that it’s not that the people of Tianxuan Country can’t kill Ye Lingchi, but that Ye Lingchi can’t die.

A person who cannot die has endured so much pain with gritted teeth that he has become so numb that he can fall asleep even when he feels physically unwell.

I can’t stand it, Bai Sui’an simply can’t stand it.

With a twist of her wrist, she flicked the shard still in her hand towards Ye Zihu's face.

It was so fast that Ye Zihu caught it.

The next moment, Bai Sui'an stood up and overturned the table, and Ye Zihu slammed the table back with force.

Two forces keep the table in place.

Ye Zihu mocked, "My prince, how I dispatch him depends on your mood."
