Chapter 225: Chapter 95 The Secret Inside Ye Lingyue’s Body

Even though Hong Fang had already sent people to investigate Ye Lingyue’s identity, confirming that she had no relation to his own prematurely deceased foolish daughter, each time he saw Ye Lingyue, he couldn’t shake an indescribable feeling.

The Sixth Prince’s palms were sweating with nervousness.

If the Star Shining Sky Plate truly exposed Ye Lingyue’s identity, both the Lan Residence and Ye Lingyue would be doomed. He secretly regretted coming to Chuyun Palace today.

When "Ye Lingyue’s" name appeared, there was no reaction from the Star Shining Sky Plate for a long while.

Ye Lingyue watched for a long time, but still not a single word appeared within the Star Shining Sky Plate.

"How could this be? Could it be that the Star Shining Sky Plate is malfunctioning?" The Sixth Prince glanced at the Star Shining Sky Plate and then at Yao Concubine.

Yao Concubine was experiencing such a situation with the Star Shining Sky Plate for the first time as well.

"Princess Ye, it might be that your servant has expended too much spiritual power today. May I ask Princess Ye to infuse a strand of spiritual power into the Star Shining Sky Plate to assist me?" Yao Concubine quickly came up with another idea.

Mirror Person had already reminded her that the Star Shining Sky Plate should not be used multiple times within a single day.

But Yao Concubine, eager to show off the capabilities of the Star Shining Sky Plate, disregarded the directive to use it only once a day.

It was just a strand of spiritual power, and Ye Lingyue didn’t think much of it, so she placed her hand on the Heavenly Mechanism Plate.

When Ye Lingyue and Yao Concubine’s hands were together on the Star Shining Sky Plate, both of their spiritual powers infused into the plate simultaneously.

"Stupid, this woman, actually daring to infuse spiritual power into the Star Shining Sky Plate. This could better awaken the Star Power and foretell auspicious and ominous events," a vicious light flickered in Yao Concubine’s eyes.

The Star Shining Sky Plate could do divinations with Star Formations. It had another function - soul searching, uncovering the deepest secrets from the depths of a person’s heart.

When Ye Lingyue infused her spiritual power into the Star Shining Sky Plate, she suddenly felt a coldness on her palm, and her fingertips felt pricked by a needle, as if something was entering her body.

"Not good!"

This sensation was not unfamiliar to Ye Lingyue; someone was prying into her soul, even attempting to take control of it.

Yao Concubine on the other side was staring intently at Ye Lingyue, her lips moving slightly.

The Star Shining Sky Plate continued to channel spiritual power into Ye Lingyue, attempting to perform soul searching.

The Star Power of the Star Shining Sky Plate was too strong; with Ye Lingyue’s capabilities as a Fifth Rank Alchemist, she simply could not defend against it. As the Star Power surged like a flood, it broke through the last line of defense of her soul.

Just when Yao Concubine thought she was about to take control of Ye Lingyue, a voice suddenly came from the deepest part of Ye Lingyue’s soul.

"Ignorant ants, the soul of my child is not something that the likes of you can pry into. Begone!"

This thunderous scold sounded both male and female, carrying a shocking might, like the sudden roar of spring thunder. The Star Power from the Star Shining Sky Plate, which had been advancing forcefully, was suddenly repelled.

"Ah!"

Yao Concubine screamed in agony, suddenly covered her eyes with her hands, and fainted.

The Star Shining Sky Plate fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Inside Chuyun Hall, the Sixth Prince and the other two were shocked.

The process of soul searching happened in an instant, so quick that the Sixth Prince and the others had no idea what had just transpired.

Even Ye Lingyue herself was in a daze, unsure why Yao Concubine had suddenly become like this.

"State Preceptor, what’s happened to you? Someone, fetch Chief Chou immediately." Crown Prince Hong and Hong Fang hastily summoned people from the Imperial Hospital upon hearing that the favored Yao Concubine had been injured. In no time at all, Chief Chou rushed over.

After the diagnosis, Chief Chou informed everyone that Yao Concubine seemed to have overused her spiritual power and carelessly suffered a psychic backlash, which damaged her eyes.

"Yao Concubine’s eyes may not recover."

Chief Chou’s words weighed heavily on the hearts of Hong Fang and Crown Prince Hong.

It wasn’t just Yao Concubine’s eyes; even the Earth-level Spiritual Treasure had cracked slightly due to that divination attempt.

The sudden misfortune of the Earth-level Spiritual Treasure damage and Yao Concubine’s blindness caught both Hong Fang and Crown Prince Hong off-guard.

"Princess Ye, what exactly has happened here? What exactly transpired between you and Yao Concubine just now?" Hong Fang demanded harshly.

"Lord Grand Protector, you ask me, but whom should I ask? Everyone here saw with their own eyes, I didn’t even lift a finger before Yao Concubine ended up like that. I’ve heard that the secrets of Heaven should not be divulged at will, otherwise, one will surely suffer retribution. Perhaps Yao Concubine revealed too many heavenly secrets and was thus punished with a backlash," Ye Lingyue shrugged, her face a picture of innocence.

Further questioning yielded no clear explanation.

Hong Fang and Crown Prince Hong had no choice but to let Ye Lingyue and the Sixth Prince leave.

Upon stepping out of Chuyun Hall, the Sixth Prince looked visibly anxious.

"Ling Yue, you’re not hurt, are you?"

Ye Lingyue shook her head, she, too, wanted to know what exactly had happened to Yao Concubine.

The opponent had clearly invaded her soul successfully, yet for some reason, was repelled and bounced back.

This spirit invasion incident made Ye Lingyue realize once again the importance of strength. Without sufficient power, even with treasures like the Qian Cauldron, there would be times when she could be defenseless. In the past, she had relied too much on the Qian Cauldron, always thinking that with it and Hong Meng Heaven’s backing, she would be fearless.

Ye Lingyue decided that she would go to the Treasure Cave the next day and enter the Earth-level Auction to purchase more advanced Martial Arts or Spiritual Treasures.

At the time of the evening lamp lighting, Yao Concubine awakened.

Upon waking, all she could sense was utter darkness.

"Somebody, light the lamp! Where have you all died off to? Why are the lamps not lit as it’s already dark?"

Her voice echoed, but no one answered.

"Lady State Preceptor, don’t waste your efforts. It’s not that the lamps haven’t been lit, it’s that you’ve gone blind," Noble Princess Consort Luo’s voice carried indifferently into Yao Concubine’s ears.

"Where is this? I fainted just now, my eyes... the Star Shining Sky Plate." For a moment, Yao Concubine couldn’t accept the reality of her blindness.

She struggled to recall; she only remembered that she wanted to use the Star Shining Sky Plate for soul searching, to peek into Ye Lingyue’s soul, even to control her.

But what happened afterward...

The more Yao Concubine tried to remember, the less she could recall, as though a piece of her memory had been stolen, leaving an emptiness.

"The Star Shining Sky Plate has been damaged. Yaoyao, do you realize your crime? A treasured Spiritual Treasure personally handed down, yet in your hands for just a few days, it was damaged. Do you know how much manpower and resources it will take to find someone to repair the Star Shining Sky Plate?"

Noble Princess Consort Luo’s words were like kicking one who’s down, she felt nearly driven insane by Yao Concubine, this foolish woman. She was supposed to use the Star Shining Sky Plate to frame the Sixth Prince, but instead, she dared to use it against the bastard from the Lan Family.

"Shut up, do you think you know who caused me to end up like this. Noble Princess Consort Luo, your son still relies on me to ascend and become the Emperor of Daxia, don’t you forget that," Yao Concubine retorted furiously.
