Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

The Xuanyuan Sword Talisman. Just hearing the name, you know that this talisman has countless connections with the immortal artifact, the Xuanyuan Sword.

Within the Xuanyuan Sword Talisman, a wisp of Xuanyuan Sword's sword energy is sealed.

Once activated, it will surely unleash a streak of Xuanyuan Sword's sword energy.

The Xuanyuan Sword is an immortal artifact. Even if it's not the main body, just a wisp of sword energy is enough to shock the heavens and make ghosts and gods weep.

Ordinary experts in the Upper Three Realms wouldn't dare to face this sword energy head-on.

On the front, the character 'Sword' was engraved.

Above the character 'Sword', the sword intent was sharp. Just looking at it gave one the feeling of being blinded.

"Your Highness, this is the Xuanyuan Sword Talisman. Please take good care of it."

Zhou Hao Chen picked up the Xuanyuan Sword Talisman, stroking it with his fingertips, feeling a faint warmth and a hidden terrifying sword intent.

"Father Emperor, what about the Xuanyuan bloodline?"

"Regarding the Xuanyuan Sword, We have Our own arrangements. You should forget about this matter."

"This son understands!"

Through the dark silk, Zhou Hao Chen took a deep look at Emperor Qian Yuan.

Emperor Qian Yuan's eyes were dark and deep, completely unreadable, and it was impossible to know what he really thought about the Xuanyuan bloodline and the Prince Yong.

After Emperor Qian Yuan encouraged him, Zhou Hao Chen took his leave.

Leaving the Imperial Study, Zhou Hao Chen didn't immediately leave the palace, but instead went to the Tranquil Rest Pavilion.

Regarding what exactly happened on the day of his birth, Zhou Hao Chen felt a lump in his throat, and he had to find out the truth.

"Chen'er, aren't you investigating a case? Why do you have time to see Mother Consort?" Consort Yun's well-maintained pretty face showed a radiant smile, looking no different from a woman in her early thirties.

"Mother Consort, the White Lotus Sect case has already been solved."

"Really!"

In Consort Yun's bright eyes, there was a strong surprise, seemingly even happier than when she was conferred as an imperial consort.

"Did your Father Emperor reward you?"

"Father Emperor rewarded me with a Xuanyuan Sword Talisman and also encouraged me."

Hearing about the reward, the smile on Consort Yun's face became even more intense.

Of course, she knew what the Xuanyuan Sword Talisman was.

Emperor Qian Yuan bestowing the Xuanyuan Sword Talisman showed his intentions.

"Chen'er, your Father Emperor still has expectations for you. In the future, you must continue to work hard and strive to be conferred as a Prince as soon as possible. It would be even better if you could become the Grand Clan Elder."

Zhou Hao Chen smiled. What mother wouldn't want her son to become a dragon?

Even if one was born a dragon son and grandson, they would still want to go further and stand out.

Zhou Hao Chen paused, changing the subject and asking.

"Mother Consort, I want to know, what happened on the day I was born?"

As soon as Zhou Hao Chen finished speaking, Consort Yun's heart skipped a beat, her face changed slightly, becoming terribly ugly.

Perhaps because she knew that Zhou Hao Chen couldn't see, the changes in Consort Yun's face were fully revealed, but she didn't know that they all fell into Zhou Hao Chen's eyes.

Seeing Consort Yun's face, Zhou Hao Chen knew that something earth-shattering must have happened on the day the thirteenth prince was born.

Taking a few deep breaths, Consort Yun forcefully endured the shock in her heart, calmed herself down and said.

"Chen'er, don't overthink it."

"The day you were born was ordinary. How could anything have happened?"

"Really?"

Zhou Hao Chen's tone was gloomy, making Consort Yun feel guilty for a while, her eyes darting around.

"Of course it's true. How could Mother Consort lie to you?"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Then why am I missing the Fei Du soul aspect?"

Hearing Zhou Hao Chen begin to suspect why his soul was incomplete, Consort Yun's heart was in her throat.

She took a few deep breaths, forcefully enduring her worry, and slowly explained.

"Chen'er, it's all Mother Consort's fault, making you born with one less soul aspect than others, unable to see this world since you were young."

"It's all Mother Consort's fault..."

Consort Yun repeatedly admitted her mistakes, but she still refused to confess the truth, which made Zhou Hao Chen's heart sink. He decided to increase the dose to stimulate Consort Yun.

"Mother Consort, you don't need to hide it from me anymore, I already know the truth!"

As soon as these words came out, Consort Yun only felt a darkness before her eyes, the world spinning, and she was almost about to faint.

How did Chen'er know?

Did His Majesty tell Chen'er?

Impossible!

The gag order was issued by His Majesty, how could he tell Chen'er?

Consort Yun's face changed continuously, turning pale and red, all falling into Zhou Hao Chen's eyes.

Zhou Hao Chen decided to give the woman in front of him another heavy blow.

"Mother Consort, my soul was shattered by someone, right?"

Consort Yun was frightened by Zhou Hao Chen's words, her face losing all color.

Indeed!

He knew!

Chen'er knew!

How could Chen'er know?

Consort Yun's slender fingers wrapped around the corner of her clothes, twisting them together, almost tying them into knots.

"Mother Consort, do you still want to hide it from me now?" Zhou Hao Chen shouted sharply.

Consort Yun's face was gloomy and uncertain. Under Zhou Hao Chen's questioning, she sighed faintly.

"Alas—"

"Chen'er, since you already know, then Mother Consort won't hide it from you anymore."

"On the day you were born, it just so happened that an evil cultivator who believed in an evil god was retaliating against your Father Emperor. Taking advantage of the fact that you had just been born and your Father Emperor was stunned, he suddenly attacked, catching your Father Emperor off guard."

"Your soul was damaged in that battle."

"Evil cultivator? Who is it? One person?"

Zhou Hao Chen quickly asked.

Consort Yun nodded.

"One person!"

"That evil cultivator overestimated himself, thinking that a sneak attack could cause harm to your Father Emperor, and then he was killed on the spot by your Father Emperor."

"Chen'er, the things of that year, let them pass. Don't hold a grudge against your Father Emperor."

Consort Yun comforted Zhou Hao Chen. Zhou Hao Chen's face showed an expression of understanding, but in reality, the strings in his heart were never relaxed.

His own mother consort was truly more tight-lipped than a platypus.

Even now, she was still unwilling to tell the truth.

She still wanted to mislead him.

From the memories obtained from the Yaksha Soul Inquiry, it could be seen that at least two people took action that day.

One of them used a black Swastika character.

As for the other person, he used a Peerless Thunder Blade.

The former was a Buddhist cultivator, the latter was a Thunder cultivator, and it was impossible for them to be the same person.

However, since Consort Yun had said this much, Zhou Hao Chen couldn't continue to press her.

If he continued to press her, it was estimated that Consort Yun wouldn't tell the truth either.

Zhou Hao Chen sighed faintly in his heart: "Mother Consort, rest assured, since the evil cultivator of that year has already been killed by Father Emperor, then this child can rest assured."

"Before, this child was worried that the person who harmed this child back then was still around and would attack this child again. This child was terrified in his heart."

"Chen'er, don't panic. The evil cultivator of that year has already been crushed to ashes by your Father Emperor."

Seeing Zhou Hao Chen being persuaded by her, Consort Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhou Hao Chen left the Tranquil Rest Pavilion.

After Zhou Hao Chen left, Consort Yun's face changed, and she immediately moved to the Imperial Study to request an audience with Emperor Xiao Yuan.

"Your Majesty, Chen'er just asked me about the events of sixteen years ago."

"Chen'er seems to have noticed that someone harmed him back then."

"How did you answer?" Emperor Qian Yuan raised his eyelids and asked.

"This concubine followed the prepared script that Your Majesty prepared and told Chen'er once. Chen'er seemed to have believed it." A faint look of worry appeared in Consort Yun's eyes.

Emperor Qian Yuan nodded and said in a majestic tone.

"Very good!"

"Remember, you are Chen'er's Mother Consort."

"No one, no matter who it is, can question your identity."
