The reason for such a large discrepancy in this estimate is that Murong Xue saw Beiming Yi’s strong physical condition. He not only detoxifies quickly but also recovers fast, and even his body functions rehabilitate quicker than normal people. Therefore, in as little as two years, he can recover fully.
After he was able to walk independently, he couldn’t wait to leave Beijing. Murong Xue did not follow him into the city, as she was thinking about Xi Yue on Xiran Island. Coincidentally, Grandpa Shui also wanted to visit, so the two of them journeyed together to Xiran Island.
Upon Beiming Yi’s return to Beijing, he imdiately began his journey to fight for the throne.
Perhaps he was too well-prepared, or maybe he never regarded Beiming Juan and Beiming Mo as threats. Thus, he entered Prince Yi’s Mansion walking upright.
This bold move shocked the entire Holy Dynasty and even quickly spread to the other three countries.
The news reached Crown Prince Beiming Juan’s ears, initially causing shock and disbelief, which soon settled into a cold sneer and ridicule. This psychological shift only took a quarter of an hour.
"So what if he can stand up? Can he really recover completely? Ridiculous! These old poisons penetrate the bone marrow; I don’t believe he can completely clear them. And his body’s functions haven’t been exercised for so many years; it’s a miracle if they haven’t atrophied. Does he really think he can be as he was before? Hah, overestimating himself."
When Beiming Juan said this, his face was full of sarcasm and disdain. In the past, he had talent, but that was in the past. Even if he’s better now, he’s still half a cripple. How can he possibly compete with ? Dreaming!
However, Beiming Mo furrowed his brow, "Crown Prince, you better not get too complacent. This ti the Valley Master of Wind Valley personally detoxified him. Our people only know that he stayed in Wind Valley for six months, but we don’t know how the poison was detoxified. Although we’ve sent many gifts and money back and forth over the half-year, is the Shui Clan one that can be connected with money? My concern isn’t how well he can recover, but that during these six months, his relationship with the Shui Clan may have deepened. If he gains such substantial financial support, can we be as confident as we are now?"
The Shui Clan is feared not just because of the strength of Shui Yuntian, Shui Wuhen, and Shui Yixuan across three generations, but also due to the two major families in Nanyue, the Wen Family (Shui Yixuan’s maternal family) and the i Family (Shui Yixuan’s grandmother’s family). Although they are external families, the expansion of the Shui Clan’s business over the years has required support from these Nanyue families. So, so business dealings exist, and possibly other collaborations. This intricate web not only spans the Holy Dynasty and Nanyue but also Lanyue and Xichu. The Shui Clan is like a towering tree with a tangled root system beneath, and no one can discern it just from the surface.
Therefore, Beiming Mo never underestimated the Shui Clan, nor dared to offend them. Now, the detoxification of Beiming Yi’s poison by the Shui Clan makes him uneasy. He never engages in affairs without surety, fearing one misstep results in lifelong regret.
When the Crown Prince and Beiming Mo were considering how to compete with Beiming Yi, Beiming Yi took the Emperor’s personal letter and went to the Lanyue Country’s imperial palace to propose marriage to Princess Yunxi.
And the news of him being able to stand and walk spread throughout the Four Countries because of this.
At this ti, Murong Xue was still on Xiran Island enjoying family ti. As Xi Yue’s mory gradually returned, she was mistaken as Feng Xibai’s daughter. Thus, Murong Xue was treated very well.
Murong Han was close to Xiran Island and visited frequently. The mother and son had already reunited.
Compared to the tranquility on the island, although Lanyue Country was not entirely peaceful, it was much cleaner and more efficient than the Holy Dynasty. The main reason was the elimination of the Bai Family, which caused turmoil in the court and talent drain. It would take three to five years for the internal conflict to completely stabilize.
Murong Han now has a fief, and by next spring, he’ll be leaving for it. After the new Emperor’s ascension, one is not allowed to return to the Imperial Palace without a decree, so his free ti is limited to the years Murong Yi reigns.
When Beiming Yi personally ca to the Holy Dynasty to propose, he learned that half a month ago, the Second Prince, Prince Liang, was officially enfeoffed as Crown Prince. The normal enfeoffnt procedures had been completed in Lanyue Country, added to the family registry, and offered at the ancestral temple. Prince Liang becoming the Crown Prince was already a done deal. The reason Beiming Yi didn’t even have ti to react was because there was a mishap in receiving ssages while he was on the way.
