"Great Master …" Just as Zhang Yingyi was jogging to go to the Emperor's Hall of Rongyuan, he coincidentally ran into His Highness Ninth Prince Feng Yunzheng. At the same time, a Daoist who seemed to be of profound cultivation stood beside Ninth Prince.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Your humble servant, Zhang, greets Your Highness."

"Where is Master Zhang going?" Feng Yunzheng's face revealed a spring smile as he asked.

"Unsatisfied with Your Highness, a strange matter has occurred in the Sky Prison of the Heavenly Imperial Palace. That hundred year old tree grew a new leaf, and this lowly servant is about to report to the Emperor."

"Dead trees in the spring?" At this time, the white-bearded Daoist next to Feng Yunzheng spoke. He pinched his fingers together and asked, "Where is the Heavenly Summer Palace?"

Zhang Yingdao said, "Northwest direction."

The Daoist man made some calculations and muttered to himself, "Northwest direction?" What a coincidence! Withered trees meet the spring, so something strange must have happened. This was a good omen, ah. No wonder This Dao1 had the urge to go to the palace and see the emperor for the past two days.

"This is …" Zhang Yingzhi asked.

"This is Daoist Master Xuanwei, an old acquaintance of the emperor. Great Emperor Zhang, since such a rare event has occurred, let Daoist Master Xuanwei go and answer the emperor's doubts. Wait here and wait for his orders." Feng Yunzheng said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhang Yingzhi lowered his head and said.

After Daoist Master Xuanwei had Feng Degui report, he entered the Hall of Rongyuan, and the princess of An just happened to walk out. She saw Feng Yunzheng at the door and lightly nodded her head, a profound look in her eyes.

Feng Yunzheng bowed and said, "Greetings, imperial aunt."

A smile appeared on the An princess' face as she said, "So, it's because he's so extraordinary."

"Aunt." Feng Yunzheng stepped forward and supported the Princess of An. He heard the Princess of An, who spoke in a low voice:

"Don't worry. I know the emperor's weak point. Leave the palace and wait for the good news. I'll wait here."

"Thank you, Imperial Aunt." Feng Yunzheng remembered that it was the same in his previous life. royal father rather listened to Princess An's suggestion, so it was most appropriate for her to do this.

Roughly an hour later, the Emperor hurriedly left the Hall of Rongyuan Palace with Daoist Master Xuanwei. Zhang Xiaozhi immediately bowed in front of him and said,

"Your majesty."

"Daoist Master Xuanwei has already reported to us on the matter of 'Deadwood Meeting Spring'. Lead the way and bring us and the Daoist Master to check it out." the Emperor ordered.

"As you command." Thus, under Zhang Yingzhi's lead, Emperor Zhou Chengdi, Princess An Guo, and Daoist Master Xuan Wei headed towards the entrance of the Heavenly Feet Palace's Celestial Prison, followed by a large group of imperial bodyguards.

Everyone in the palace saw the emperor and the princess rushing over, but they had no idea what was going on, so they all trembled in fear.

At a place not far from the Celestial Prison, Zhang Yingdao said, "The Celestial Prison is a prison. If I were to run into the emperor, why not just leave him here?"

"We naturally have to personally witness the arrival of spring in the dead tree!" "No problem, lead the way." The emperor insisted on walking to the entrance of the Sky Prison. The three of them looked and indeed, there were tender green leaves on the branch that had never grown a leaf before.

The Princess of An was overjoyed. "Your majesty, there really is a dead tree in the spring. My dream has come true!"

"Your majesty, this is an auspicious omen. Congratulations your majesty, congratulations your majesty." Daoist Xuanwei waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, then fell to his knees and said in a jubilant manner.

Zhou Chengdi felt a burst of joy in his heart. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked,

"Are there any prisoners in this prison?"

The guard rarely saw the emperor so he kneeled on the ground and tremblingly said: "There is a prisoner. Two days ago he was locked up by his daughter. Today he is going to burn the sky to remove the ominous sign."

"Absolutely not!" At this moment, the Princess of An Country hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the dream entrusted to you by the late emperor? Everything in the land of dead trees and spring must be cherished.

When Zhou Chengdi heard that, his eyebrows furrowed and he said, "But she once attracted Crow, and Crow is a great omen of evil. Daoist Master, what do you think?"

"Your majesty, this person has caused the dead tree to experience spring in the past two days. This proves that she is a person of great fortune, and if Your Majesty were to burn her down, it would put her in great danger. As for that crow …"

He closed his eyes again and made some calculations, then said, "I don't think she attracted that kind of person. After all, she wasn't the only one living in that mansion."

Zhou Chengdi frowned.

"Your Imperial Majesty, Adept Xuanwei has never missed this chance." The princess of An Guo warned her at the right time.

"Open the cell!" A moment later, Emperor Zhou Cheng gave the order.

"Yes sir!"

The prison warden hurriedly took out a key from his waist, unlocked it, and slowly pushed open the cell door. The sun just happened to shine in from the opposite direction, and the warm yellow light enveloped Lian Ruyue's body — —

At this moment, she seemed to carry a sacred light of her own, but also seemed to have been brought into being by the light. She was calm and serene.

Zhou Chengdi's heart was struck with a heavy blow —

Although she had been locked up in this cold and humid place for two days and had a light meal, Lian Ruyue did not look awkward at all. She still looked picturesque; even though her skin was snow-white and her temperament was outstanding, she sat quietly as if she was raising an orchid in an empty valley.

Who would be so relaxed in a prison like this? It was as if the Sky Prison wasn't a place to lock her up, but a place for her to wholeheartedly cultivate.

She saw that the Emperor didn't seem surprised at all when she saw him. She stood up and knelt down, saying, "This subject pays her respects to the Emperor. May the Emperor live for tens of thousands of years." There was no trace of panic in her words.

"This calm and steady wind is truly rare. Your Majesty, this person must be a person of great fortune." Daoist Master Xuanwei praised Lian Xiyue upon seeing her.

"Someone, come!" After a long while, Zhou Chengdi ordered, "Release the shackles on her hands."

The raging flames on the Dragon Altar were also extinguished at that moment. No one knew what Taoist Xuanwei and Zhou Chengdi were talking about, but Lian Yue was kneeling outside the Hall of Rongyuan. It wasn't until nightfall that she was sent out of the palace.

As she walked out of the palace and looked back at the heavy palace doors, she let out a deep breath and a look of relief appeared on her face.

From the moment she saw this dead tree in the spring, she knew that Ninth Prince was plotting behind her back to save her from this predicament.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current life, he was still the person who had to put his life on the line for her.

In this matter, an icy-blue figure stood in the dark, silently watching her. The darkness gradually thickened, swallowing him. Suddenly, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Finally, he opened his mouth, and with a smile on his face, he called out softly, "Big sister …"

Lian Ruyue's heart trembled. She suddenly turned her head and saw a youth with a brilliant face standing under the moonlight. He wore an ice blue embroidered robe and appeared exceptionally beautiful.

Most people would not be able to get off the ground after being beaten to such a state for at least half a month, but Lian Fang was young and had a strong body. These two days, he had used Doctor Lu's special medicine, the Gold Sore Medicine.
