ng ageYe Bufan looked at Dong Qiang again and said, "How do you know my money came from illegitimate sources"Such people either say that someone else's money comes from their parents or claim it's ill..."You're talking about this The current emperor isn't my biological son."

Hua Zi Yue's reaction was very calm, without shyness or panic, she spoke freely and openly.

"Actually, I'm the emperor's aunt. My older sister married the former emperor when I was young."

Five years ago, my elder sister fell seriously ill and passed away. She knew the depth of the royal waters and entrusted her young nephew to me before she died. She also negotiated with the late Emperor to make me the Empress.

In fact, I had no feelings for the late emperor and was not interested in this position. The reason I agreed to it was entirely for my sister and my innocent young nephew at the time.

After becoming empress, the previous emperor devoted himself to cultivation and no longer interfered in state affairs. He never visited my palace.

"For this very reason, all power was given to his younger brother, Song Jian."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded and then understood what was going on.

After the previous emperor passed away, I took control of the entire Tianfeng Empire. But this is not the life I wanted.

When my nephew comes of age, I will hand over all power to him. I will either retire to the mountains or find someone I like to marry.

Speaking of this, Huazimuet's brows furrowed: "But it seems that it will be very difficult to achieve this wish now. Song Jian's movements have become more and more frequent recently, and his ambitions are growing larger."

"At first, the former emperor was in good health, but he suddenly went mad and died violently. I suspect this might have something to do with him, perhaps even caused by him."

Ye Bufan didn't speak. He had his own things to do now, needing to make the most of his time to recover his cultivation and return to Earth. He wasn't interested in the royal family's mess.

But trees want to be still and the wind does not cease. Sometimes, some things are not something you can escape by trying to hide from them.

Hua Zi Yue finished speaking and her gaze fell on him again: "Doctor Ye, actually I came to you today with another matter. I want to represent the royal family and form an alliance with you."

"What"

Ye Bufan was taken aback. "An alliance with me I'm just an ordinary person. There's no need for you to ally with me, is there"

"Dr. Ye, you are so humble!"

Hua ZiYue said, "Have you ever seen an ordinary person who possesses such heaven-defying medical skills Have you ever seen an ordinary person who could achieve the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings as soon as they entered Cang Feng Academy"

Who among ordinary people could be hunted by a cultivator without dying Who among ordinary people could, single-handedly, suppress the Li family to the point of ruin

"Uh…"

Ye Bufan was speechless for a moment. Although he had tried his best to keep a low profile, his performance was still too dazzling.

Hua Zi Yue said again, "I've always been good at judging people, and you are no ordinary person. You are bound to soar to great heights in the future."

"Well then!" Ye Bufan didn't want to say much either, and asked, "How do you propose we form an alliance"

"I can do everything in my power to help you, including getting you a spot in the newcomer's ranked matches and rebuilding the Lingxiao Academy."

"What are the conditions" Ye Bufan asked.

Hua Zi Yue said: "The condition is that when my royal family encounters difficulties, you are also able to help us mother and son to the best of your ability."

"This…"

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment and said, "Our entire Lingxiao Academy now has only so many people, it seems like we can't help you much."

Hua Zi Yue said: "You just need to promise, and do your best at the time, I won't force you to do anything."

"OK!"

Ye Bufan readily agreed, after all, he still had to stay in the Tianfeng Imperial City for a while, and having more powerful allies was a good choice.

Then let's shake on it!

Huaziziyue spoke, extending a palm as white as jade to meet his. Afterwards, a blush crept onto her face.

Ye Bufan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Although Lingxiao Academy has solved the money problem, there are still a bunch of things that need to be handled, and he is really eager to go back.

"Okay, but be careful."

Hua Zi Yue said, “The Li family is actually the strength of An Shun’s Prince. Today you hit the Li family in the face and took so many gold coins from them. I'm afraid Song Jian won't let you go.”

"On the imperial court's side, I can protect you and be your pillar of support, but everything else will have to depend on yourself."

I know.

Ye Bufan nodded. Although he didn't want to cause trouble, he wasn't afraid of it either. Now that things had come to this, there was no possibility of backing down, so he could only face it head-on.

By the time he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Zheng Sanbao had already been waiting there.

"Doctor Ye, are you leaving This old slave will see you out."

"Thank you, Head Butler."

Ye Bufan always felt that this old eunuch must have some special reason. Otherwise, based on the other party's status, there was no need to be so polite to him.

As expected, Zheng Sanbao said: "Many imperial physicians have treated the Empress Dowager's illness, but to no avail. However, Dr. Ye cured her with ease, which shows that his medical skills are divine."

Ye Bufan seemed to understand the other party's intentions and said, "Flattery will get you nowhere. However, in the art of medicine, Ye believes he still has some skill."

"The head manager, please feel free to speak if you have any needs. I am willing to lend a hand."

"This..."

Zheng Sanbao's fair and clean face flashed a moment of embarrassment, then he lowered his voice and said, "Excuse me, Dr. Ye, can your medical skills reach the level of reattaching severed limbs"

"Regeneration"

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment in his heart before immediately understanding the other party's intentions.

Zheng Sanbao was a eunuch, but there must have been a reason for it.

Now that his status is superior, he has even reached the pinnacle of the integration stage, becoming the number one expert in Tianfeng City. In this situation, what he thinks about naturally is to restore his damaged body.

"Dr. Ye, I wonder if there's any way"

Since their meeting, Zheng Sanbao had always been composed and calm. But now, his eyes were filled with urgency.

For so many years, he had secretly thought of countless ways to mend his broken body, yet nothing worked. The young man before him was now his only hope.

That's also why he personally went to Lingxiao Mountain before.

After figuring out the reason, Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "There's a way."

"Really"

Hearing that Ye Bufan could help him repair his body, Zheng Sanbao's face was full of excitement, and his voice trembled.

"Doctor Ye, to be honest with you, my Zheng family has only one son for three generations. We entered the palace out of desperation back then."

"If you can help me repair my broken body, then you would be Zheng Sanbao's benefactor, and a great benefactor to our Zheng family!"

"Head Butler, please don't be hasty, let me explain slowly."

Ye Bufan said, “I have a pill formula in my hand called the Bu Tian Dan. Once refined, it can repair any damage to the human body. It has the effects of regenerating limbs and mending even the most significant flaws.”

Now that all the other medicinal ingredients are gathered, only the Red Yuan Fruit is missing. This is also the reason I am participating in the newcomer ranking tournament this time.

"Once I get the Red Yuan Fruit and refine it into the Heaven-Mending Pill, I will give a pill to the Grand Steward. It will definitely make up for your shortcomings."

"Excellent, this old servant thanks you in advance."

Zheng Sanbao bowed deeply to Ye Bufan, then took out a jade talisman and handed it over.

"Doctor Ye, no matter what difficulties you encounter in Tianfeng City today, just crush this jade talisman and I guarantee that I will arrive within ten breaths to help you."

Now the young man before him was his only hope, and he would not allow anything to go wrong with him.

So he did this both for Ye Bufan and for himself.

"Then I thank the chief manager."

For such a good thing delivered to his doorstep, Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't refuse. He reached out and took the jade talisman.

This brought the two even closer, and Zheng Sanbao pinned all his hopes on him.

At the palace gate, the two parted ways. Zheng Sanbao returned to the Empress Dowager's sleeping quarters, while Ye Bufan walked alone towards the gate.

"Stop right there!"

He had just stepped out not far when a sudden cry came, followed by a palace dress girl in her twenties who blocked his path. half the effort, absorbing as much spiritual energy from the earth's veins as possible.After saying that, he reached out and pulled out a black pill, handing it over.Seeing this pill, all the people...
