Traveling to the North Sea by day, residing at Cangwu by night, with the gall of the green snake in the sleeve, I yearn for it in my heart and soul...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A zealous individual read out loud the contents of the Immortal Seeking Order, attracting more people to come and listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ordinary people didn’t recognize the words at all, merely listening in a confused daze, not understanding what was being said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they still patiently waited for the reading to finish, then impatiently asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher! What’s on this announcement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Seeking Order? His Majesty actually requests to consult the immortals!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it true? Are there really immortals in this world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The announcement says! Those who voluntarily present themselves as cultivators will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, titled a marquis, granted land and manors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone reporting immortal traces or evidence will also be rewarded upon verification!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there are any extraordinary individuals among the common folk, they may also present themselves and be rewarded...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss... Ten thousand gold! A marquis title! His Majesty has truly invested heavily!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! I’ve lived sixty or seventy years, and I’ve never seen an immortal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor seeking immortals, this land... is going to become chaotic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand General Xu just left, and His Majesty issued the Immortal Seeking Order, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hush... Quiet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issuance of the Immortal Seeking Order by the Emperor Zhengyong quickly spread throughout the Capital City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it continued to disseminate toward the Great Yu Thirteen States, causing quite a stir in both the Imperial Court and Martial World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it, the Emperor Zhengyong specifically built a new building outside the Imperial City to seek immortals, naming it \"Baiyu City\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it, the Emperor Zhengyong transformed his Imperial City Department into the Embroidered Uniform Guard, just to hunt for treasures and traces of immortals in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor has it, the Emperor Zhengyong was enticed by Yang Xuansu to seek immortals...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless rumors circulated within Great Yu, with various versions bewildering and overwhelming people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after a month had passed, no one had yet taken down the imperial edict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of Emperor Zhengyong seeking immortals seemed like a stone thrown into a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples continued, but quickly subsided again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zheng Yi was in Qiankun Hall, gazing at a list in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the preliminary selection of internal cabinet members handed over by Xu Mujun, listing more than ten people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were high-ranking officials above the third rank in the court, including newly appointed Ministers of the Six Ministries, as well as significant officials from the Hanlin Academy and the Inspectorate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch of cabinet members consisted of seven, all recommended by Xu Mujun, and then decided by Zheng Yi himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future selection of cabinet members would be decided at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Xu Mujun, six more were needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a pen, selected and discarded names on the list, recalling the power and abilities behind each individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Xiangqing, Left Imperial Censor of the Inspectorate, younger brother of the Empress Dowager, considered an external relative, could enter the cabinet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Ze, Imperial Censor, from the Wang Family of Datong...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Yuanhao, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, from the Upright Officials...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi picked and chose, finally selecting six individuals who seemed suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These six belonged respectively to external relatives, noble families, the military, upright officials, and the Royal Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would check and balance each other while cooperating with one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his goal was merely to maintain stability within Great Yu, allowing him the time and energy to pursue the Path of Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one should disturb him on his path to immortal cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether Great Yu would fall into chaos with powerful ministers, external relatives, noble families, and the like,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as the saying goes, true authority comes from the barrel of a gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as military power was firmly in his grip, these people would be like locusts after autumn, unable to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to grasp military power, he had his own plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Liu Cheng’en entered with small steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, Ma Jinwu seeks an audience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi’s eyes brightened and said, \"It seems there’s finally news on finding Mayfly Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days ago, he had instructed Ma Jinwu to search for traces of Mayfly Tower based on the address left by Yang Xuansu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he found it or not was unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the dusty Ma Jinwu came in quickly, kneeling with a face full of helplessness: \"Your Majesty, I have failed the entrusted task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The place has long been abandoned, not a person in sight, and it’s been swept very clean, nothing was found by me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even you couldn’t find it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi was somewhat disappointed, yet mentally prepared for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Mayfly Tower dared to participate in assassination attempts on the Emperor, it certainly had arranged a retreat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Jinwu continued: \"Your Majesty, although I didn’t find any people from Mayfly Tower, I learned about their means of contact from some Martial Arts practitioners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But given that I come from an official family, I hope Your Majesty assigns someone from the Sacrificial Institute to take action...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let someone from the Sacrificial Institute contact Mayfly Tower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi murmured: \"A good idea, for the candidate, we choose...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar and sociable figure suddenly appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Jing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Convey my verbal order, have the Silver Medal Tributor Tang Jing from the Sacrificial Institute accompany you on this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ma Jinwu left, a palace maid hurried over and was stopped by Liu Cheng’en.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outrageous! This is His Majesty’s sleeping quarters, why such haste?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eunuch, eunuch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little palace maid panted heavily and said: \"Consort Shuu, Consort Shuu is about to give birth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi, despite being a First-grade Martial Artist, heard the words of the little palace maid clearly and immediately stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To Yonghe Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Yonghe Palace, a dozen palace maids and elderly female attendants gathered together, nervously watching inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were Yang Huan’s personal palace maids, Imperial Hospital palace maids, and trusted people from other concubines as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall, palace maids came in and out, a scene of busyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Shuu Yang Huan’s painful screams constantly echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zheng Yi arrived, the place was bustling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this situation, he could do nothing but ensure that the imperial physicians were on standby at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was his first child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, exert, exert force!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s coming, it’s coming...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Waa, waa, waa~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stick of incense time later, the cries of a newborn echoed, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations to Your Majesty, felicitations to Your Majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: \"Liu Cheng’en, reward everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, an old female attendant came over, holding a child wrapped in swaddling clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations to Your Majesty, it’s a little princess~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi knew this already, given that the Pure Yin Qi was something he had transferred into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn’t know how the Pure Yin Qi...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a thought and subconsciously looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the child was carried out, she was indeed surrounded by that Pure Yin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating, swaying, vanishing into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... did the Pure Yin Qi just disappear like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What use does it have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi was at a loss but had other matters to attend to at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng’en.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This servant is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Consort Shuu gives birth to the daughter, confine her to Yonghe Palace and let her not come and go without an edict. Their expenses must not be reduced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Cheng’en quietly said: \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, Yonghe Palace became the Cold Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the little child, looking dry and unlike the gentle and plump Yang Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After teasing a little, he handed the child over to the wet nurse prepared earlier and approached Yang Huan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He touched the weakened Yang Huan: \"Huan’er, you’ve worked hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Huan weakly said: \"Your concubine, failed Your Majesty’s trust, unable to give birth to a Dragon Child for Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi comforted: \"Rest assured, Huan’er, I like girls very much too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Yang Huan breathe a sigh of relief, saying: \"Please, Your Majesty, grant a name to the daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A name...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi thought for a moment and said: \"She is my first child, also my eldest daughter, representing my hope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the name, take ’Yu’, meaning beauty also, virtue also.
