Chapter 1
On the day my husband announced to the world that he would marry Senior Sister Xin Yun,
I was so distracted while brewing medicinal soup for Senior Sister that I delayed for a moment, nearly causing her heart disease to flare up and miss the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony.
To punish me, he sent people to escort me to a desolate mountain under his name.
I was tortured to death on that desolate mountain, and after my death, my soul scattered in the world.
In the fifth year after my death, Xin Yun's heart disease flared up again.
The imperial physician said that only by using my heart's blood to brew medicinal soup could Xin Yun's heart disease be alleviated.
He finally remembered me and wanted to take my blood to cure Xin Yun.
But my five-year-old daughter told him that I was already dead.
He laughed scornfully: "No wonder she doesn't dare to come out to see me, turns out she had a bastard child with a wild man!"
"Xie Yajun, if you don't come out, I'll drain this little bastard's blood!"
Xiao Heng's childhood sweetheart's heart disease flared up again.
He finally remembered me, the legitimate Princess Consort.
He got down from the luxurious carriage, looked at the impoverished and barren mountain land, and the crowd of kneeling villagers, his eyes full of disdain.
"Where is Xie Yajun, let her come out. As long as she continues to give her blood to cure Yun, I will take her back!"
As his words fell, the villagers were uneasy, not daring to make a sound.
It wasn't until Xiao Heng grew impatient that an elderly man stood out from the crowd with white hair.
"Who are you? Where is Xie Yajun?"
The old man slightly bowed, tremblingly said: "Reporting to the Prince, Yajun she, she already..."
Xiao Heng was out of patience, his face dark and frightening, "What? Five years and still not learned her lesson?"
"This Prince personally came to find her, and she dares to throw a tantrum, really thinks she's still the eldest lady of the Medicine King Valley?"
"The Medicine King Valley is long gone; let her wise up and come out immediately!"
The old man lowered his head further, spoke with an even tone: "Prince, she won't be able to come!"
Xiao Heng rotated the Jade Ring on his hand, suppressed his temper and said: "Then you go tell her, as long as she is willing to return to the Prince Manor and continue being Yun's Medicine Man. This Prince will forgive her."
But he didn't know, I had died five years ago!
Five years ago, just after I was sent to the desolate mountain, Xin Yun sent people to find me.
In a dark, sunless cave, she had people tie me up and drain my blood.
They cut open my belly alive, pulled out the eight-month-old child, and discarded us both in the back mountain.
Letting wild beasts wantonly tear and gnaw.
Perhaps it was fate that the child shouldn't die, Grandma Li who went up the mountain picked up and raised the child.
While Xin Yun used my blood to brew medicinal soup, for the next five years there was no heart disease.
She thought she was cured, but unexpectedly shortly after the medicine was cut off, her heart disease flared up again.
And it was more rapid than before, tormenting her to death.
This is how Xiao Heng humbled himself, came to the desolate mountain to 'fetch' me.
Facing Xiao Heng's pressure, Grandma Li drooped her eyelids, softly said: "Prince, Xie Yajun, she had already passed away five years ago!"
Xiao Heng's pupils twitched, then he scolded harshly: "You wretch, how dare you help her deceive this Prince! How could Xie Yajun possibly be dead? She is the daughter of the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, born with a special constitution, could live up to a hundred without any problems."
Grandma Li knelt down, no longer speaking, Xiao Heng looked around and ordered.
"Search! Even if you have to turn over the entire mountain, you must find her for this Prince!"
"Dare to toy with this Prince, this Prince will definitely make her pay!"
The guards searched house by house for my figure, even the dry well in the village wasn't overlooked.
Even so, they still found nothing.
Xiao Heng's face was uglier than when he came.
He ordered the guards to drag the aged Grandma Li before him.
"Xie Yajun used to be the most obedient to this Prince, surely couldn't have come up with such an idea to toy with this Prince."
"It must be you bold and reckless commoners who hid her!"
"Say it again, hand her over, or don't blame this Prince for being ruthless!"
Xiao Heng finally lost his patience, he threw Grandma Li to the guards, forcibly broke Grandma Li's fingers, as a punishment.
I floated in the air, my Spiritual Body passed through the guards again and again, but to no avail.
At this moment, a five-year-old little girl squeezed out from behind the guards.
Her clothes were tattered, she opened her arms shielding Grandma Li, her face resolute and steadfast.
"Don't harm Grandma Li!"
"My mother died five years ago, even if you kill Grandma Li, she won't come back!"
In an instant, Xiao Heng's pupils trembled violently, almost losing composure.
"You, what did you call her?!"
Xiao Heng kept a straight face, step by step walking towards the daughter.
"Who did you just call mother?"
