Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills Chapter 226 – Zhao Ruyue and Zhao Ping’an

Chapter 226: Chapter 4: Zhao Ruyue and Zhao Ping’an

Seeing the joy on Zhao Huai’s face, a touch of curiosity flashed through Song Zhishu’s heart.

What kind of charm does this woman possess that makes the Crown Prince miss her so much?

He only heard from Zhao Huai’s mouth that this mysterious woman was born in a military family and had accompanied the Crown Prince for a while, and the two were already married.

If it were him, he wouldn’t be able to understand.

With the Crown Prince’s status and fame, there is no woman he can’t find. Now, even sect rumors are circulating about the Crown Prince of Yan. The matter of Yan relying on the Immortal Sect isn’t a secret anymore, so cultivators often come to join Yan just to catch a glimpse of the Prince’s esteemed presence.

There must be countless exceptional ladies outside who want to get on the Crown Prince’s bed. Why is she the only exception?

Song Zhishu reported, “My subordinates have been searching for a full year, covering the entire south, including the Xia Country’s Imperial Court, but they have not found the declining military family that Your Highness mentioned.”

“Most of the military families have a strong martial spirit, and their families are thriving, with no signs of decline. Your Highness mentioned internal strife in some military families. Indeed, there were several cases of insurrection, which were exterminated by the Emperor of the Xia, but after reviewing the archives, there were no records of female generals.”

“So, I deduce that the woman’s background that Your Highness mentioned is false.”

Song Zhishu looked up, quite serious and decisive.

He searched for an entire year, and according to Zhao Huai’s requirements, he could not find the person in question.

So, he tried to Trace Origins, starting with their background. He found that the information provided by His Highness completely didn’t match up.

He could say with great certainty that this identity was fabricated and nonexistent.

“False…”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai’s gaze faltered, and he muttered, his eyes gradually losing focus.

The image of that charming figure with a smile that warmed the heart like a gentle spring breeze resurfaced in his mind, thinking back to the first time they met…

How could someone who had accompanied him for a year be fake?

Song Zhishu’s gaze was solemn as he continued his speculation, “According to Your Highness’s description, this woman is highly skilled and has killed many people, but she hides in the Mortal World. I believe she should be from the Devil Sect.”

“What makes you say that?”

Zhao Huai frowned.

Song Zhishu explained carefully, “It’s normal for Your Highness not to know. In the year of Your Highness’s retreat, the Devil Sect has been particularly rampant. The number of cultivators committing offenses with their martial prowess has increased. The Heavenly Devil Palace has re-emerged, issuing new Heavenly Devil Orders. Many Devil Sect cultivators who were hidden in the mortal world have become active.”

As he spoke, Song Zhishu’s expression became more solemn.

“A month ago, a major incident occurred in Nanyu Prefecture. A devil cultivator tried to sneak in, but he was spotted by the Immortal Sect’s gatekeeper. Just as they were about to capture him, a fishmonger in the street secretly acted, killing the gatekeeper and escaping with their life. It caused an elder from the Immortal Sect to take action.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and they still let the devil cultivator escape. In the end, it was discovered that they were from the

Heavenly Devil Palace and was even the Cold Night Devil from the Seven Palace Masters. So, the woman Your Highness mentioned is likely to be a witch from the Devil Sect.”

Listening to everything Song Zhishu recounted, even if Zhao Huai didn’t want to believe it, he couldn’t help but think about it.

“Why?”

Zhao Huai’s frown deepened.

How could the woman with a gentle and kind demeanor, who cooked for him every day and couldn’t bear to see the fish in the pawnshop go hungry, be a witch from the Devil Sect?

He really couldn’t accept this outcome.

It felt like a dream, with all the experiences being illusory, and there seemed to be a lot of things he didn’t know about the person beside him.

Even her identity was fake, so what was real?

“Why…”

Zhao Huai couldn’t figure it out, his voice holding a hint of helplessness.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t they return to Jinzhou and wait for him?

Why is there no news from her?

He stood in place for a long time, still unable to understand.

Obviously, he was deceived by this layer of identity, but he didn’t know why he was deceived.

Upon thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Huai’s face.

Previously, his former Madam said that some things were beyond their control.

He didn’t understand it before, but now it seems to make more sense. However, he didn’t understand what his Madam could gain from him.

An identity can deceive people, but feelings cannot.

Perhaps she had her difficulties too.

Seeing Zhao Huai lost in thought, Song Zhishu did not dare to disturb him and quietly closed the door and left.

Zhao Huai looked at the now bare plum tree, reminiscing about the peaceful and comfortable Jinzhou City a year ago, and the leisurely Huai’s pawnshop.

Gradually, he understood a principle.

People are always pushed forward by the tides of fate. No one knows what will happen in the future. Life is like a vast ocean, and people are like small boats, being blown by the wind.

There is only one way to break this situation, which is to make oneself stronger.

“No matter what, I absolutely don’t believe that Madam is a member of the Devil Sect. There must be some difficulties she faces.”

“Seeing is believing. All the above are just speculations. To know the truth, I must find it myself.”

Zhao Huai muttered to himself.

Xia’s Imperial City.

After a year of development, it has become more lively.

It was as if people had returned to the time when Xia had just been founded.

The Imperial Palace today is still calm. The eunuchs on duty are bored and yawning from time to time. Palace maids pass by, holding lanterns.

In the backvard zarden of the Imperial Palace.

Petals fall everywhere amongst the vibrant trees and flowers. An older palace maid is feeding a baby girl cradled in her arms, while a baby boy lies on a small bed beside her, made of spiritual silk.

The babies are no more than two months old, with faint rays of light emanating from their bodies, making them look quite peculiar.

A woman dressed in a fiery red phoenix gown, with an authoritative air between her eyebrows, strides into the garden.

However, when she sees the babies, the authority on her face instantly melts, revealing a smile as warm as a gentle spring breeze.

Even though giving birth was painful, everything was worth it.Every time Yu Qinghan saw the child, she could think of Zhao Huai’s face because they looked very similar.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

The palace maids saw the visitor and saluted her one after another.

“How is the child?” Yu Qinghan asked. “Eating well, very bright-eyed, looks very intelligent.”

The older palace maid praised with a smile.

Yu Qinghan nodded. The moment she saw the child, the fatigue of her day was significantly reduced.

Three months ago, she had already given birth smoothly.

Unexpectedly, it was twins, one boy, and one girl.

In preparation for the birth, she canceled the morning court and handed all affairs to her father’s old minister, who she trusted in their ability.

Time flew by, and the news of the children’s birth was blocked by her on the day they were born.

Barely anyone in the palace knew about it. The midwife was a deaf-mute old palace maid from the cold palace. After the birth, Yu Qinghan gave her a sum of money and sent her out of the palace.

The maids taking care of her and the babies were her trusted confidants, always by her side.

She placed the two children under the maids’ names and hid them.

She would visit them from time to time.

If the Imperial Court knew that she was pregnant, it would greatly damage her prestige and might cause unnecessary accidents in the good situation that had taken so much effort to build, especially with her uncle.

By now, her worldly image had been shaped into an invincible war goddess.

If the common people knew that the dignified Xia Empress was pregnant and her father had disappeared, what face would she have left?

Yu Qinghan held the baby girl, gently rocking her, with a loving smile on her face.

In the past year, the wise and martial Xia Empress had become an object of awe for the people.

Who says women are inferior to men? Within a year of the Empress’ ascension, she reversed the decline of the Xia Country, stabilized the situation, deterred the Northern Wolf Empire from invading from the north, and gradually revitalized the national fortunes with an upward trend in this period of peace.

However, this fearsome, iron-hearted empress was a doting mother in the backyard garden.

If the world knew about this scene, they would probably be shocked.

The baby girl’s eyes were big and bright, like innocent, clear, and pure moons.

So, Yu Qinghan named her Zhao Ruyue.

Qu Zi has said: “Embrace the soft and tender rue while wiping away tears.”

Ru refers to gentleness.

Yue refers to purity and flawlessness.

Yu Qinghan hoped that her daughter would grow up to be innocent and kind, not restrained by worldly conventions.

She hoped that the tragedy of her own childhood would not happen to her daughter and that she would not repeat her own path.

“Waaa, waaa!”

At this moment, the baby boy on the small bed started to cry. As if complaining that his mother had neglected him.

“Ping’an, don’t cry.”

Yu Qinghan softly comforted the baby boy, teasing him from time to time. It took a while for the boy to stop crying.

Quietly sucking on his fingers.

He was the older brother, and the girl was his younger sister.

The boy was named Zhao Ping’an.

He had a nose and eyes very similar to Zhao Huai’s.

Yu Qinghan hoped that he could, like her husband, live his life in his own way.

Peaceful and safe, year after year. May her son’s future be peaceful and safe.

She hopes even more that her son will be able to grow up smoothly.

Although she knows that such a possibility is small.

Because when the twins were born, accompanied by the flow of spiritual qi and the dazzling stars, they were destined to be extraordinary in the future. One cannot detect their spiritual roots until they are four years old. Right now, it is still growing and remains unknown.

It is too dangerous for the two children to stay in the Imperial Palace. Although the situation is stable for now, the Xia Country will face wars at any moment.

She shoulders the great cause of unification and had no time to take care of the children, so she planned to send them to the Limitless Immortal Sect.

Under the protection of the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch, it will not only be safe there, but with the top Immortal Cultivation resources, it is definitely the best choice.

It’s just that growing up without seeing their parents could be harmful to the children’s mental health, and that is her only concern.

But at least in the sect, they won’t be bullied, nor face any danger or other pressures.

All she hopes for is that they grow up healthy and safe.

Thinking of this, a touch of reluctance flashed in Yu Qinghan’s eyes.

These were her own flesh and blood, and it would soon be time to part with them. Her heart was still heavy and stifled.

She gently reached out a hand, and the baby boy quickly grasped his mother’s hand, his innocent eyes full of curiosity about the world.

Yu Qinghan gazed at her children’s faces, her face full of happiness, whispering:

“How can there be such good children in the world, and happen to be my son and daughter?”

“Your Majesty, have you really decided?” The palace maid beside her asked for confirmation once more.

“I can’t wait any longer.”

With great difficulty, Yu Qinghan turned around, looking towards the south. In her phoenix-like eyes, there was a sharp glint, she said indifferently, “It’s been a year, and it’s time for the unification of the Xia Country.”
