“Erm... The 13th Prince... is here!”

The eunuch outside of the Weiyang Palace stumbled upon those words.

Everyone in the palace stopped what they were doing and stared at the palace’s slowly opening

gate.

There was dead silence, and only the 13th Prince’s footsteps could be heard loud and clear.

Shen Ao could still fake a smile to the guests a moment ago. However, upon hearing this dreadful piece of news, he could no longer do it.

He started to doubt if he had somehow offended the God of Fate.

Ever since the 13th Prince had reached the age of six and started to understand what was going on around him, he would seldom appear on such occasions. He had been living alone in Lan’s Palace for the past 10 years.

Even when his father would have a birthday celebration, he would simply make someone pass the king his present.

He had never shown his face for a banquet, and everyone was taking it as the norm.

Although he would still receive the invitation for all the banquets, he had never shown up before, not even once.

Why are you here today? You wanted that low-ranked eunuch, and I gave him to you! Can you just do me a favor and let me go off in peace? Now here you are... I’m having a very bad feeling about it!

Shen Ao had a feeling that this banquet would end up in disaster.

Maybe I should not go off tomorrow just to be safe...

Shen Tian slowly made his way into the hall while everyone was watching him.

Although he had a bad reputation, all the girls were impressed by how good-looking he looked in that white python robe.

How can someone be so handsome!

No wonder he has been unlucky since birth!

Maybe that’s the way God makes the world fair!

Shen Tian did not recognize most of the people here. He rarely interacted with people outside of the Lan’s Palace, while the present guests would avoid the Lan’s Palace when they were around too. They hardly had any interaction with each other before.

Shen Tian looked around and saw a man in a king’s robe. He was stunned.

So this is my father? He is so normal looking!

Even though he was a transmigrator and did not have any feelings toward this ‘father’, he had to properly play his role. As the 13th Prince of the kingdom, he walked up to his father and bowed.

“Good day! Father.”

Shen Xiao had mixed feelings upon seeing that Shen Tian stood in front of him as a grown man.

He loved and hated his thirteenth son at the same time.

He loved Concubine Lan the most when she was still alive. She had a charming character, and everyone in the palace liked her.

Shen Xiao even made the arrangement to make her the queen after the 13th Prince was born.

However, everything changed when Shen Tian was born.

On the day of delivery, the sky was clear, and the sun was good. Yet, suddenly, a thick, dense cloud hovered on top of the palace.

It was not a normal thunderstorm—it was a unique energy, something more hideous.

The cloud was filled with a sinister aura, and everyone in the palace was afraid.

Right then, Concubine Lan felt a kick in her womb, and she was about to deliver the baby.

Shen Xiao had an ominous feeling and quickly fetched the best midwife for her.

Although there was nothing wrong with the process, the infant did not look healthy at all. It looked like the life of the infant was depleting quickly despite just being delivered. It seemed like a hidden power was robbing the little prince’s life away.

Seeing that the 13th Prince was going to die soon, Shen Xiao used all the arts he knew and tried to save his child. However, none of them worked.

Then, Concubine Lan used a mystic art and passed her own life to her son.

Eventually, it worked, and Shen Tian managed to live, while the well-liked concubine lost her life because of it.

It was a sorrowful day for everyone in the country. Even some other concubines were tearing upon hearing the news.

The dark cloud slowly dispersed from the palace, however, the darkness in Shen Xiao’s heart could not be removed.

He spent a huge amount of money and used a coffin made from Mystic Ice that could preserve Concubine Lan’s body.

...

Shen Xiao would visit her grave every year since then, as she was the only woman he had ever loved. Although she was just a concubine, the king had never made anyone else the queen. It seemed like they had found true love until Shen Tian appeared. Thus, whenever Shen Xiao saw Shen Tian, this heartbreaking memory would resurface.

In order to feel better, he had been taking middle-grade Forgetting Pills that were even effective for Golden Core cultivators.

Eventually, Shen Xiao asked Eunuch Gui to look after the prince instead and avoided the Lan’s Palace afterward. He had to admit that he was trying to escape from reality.

Now, seeing that his son was a grown and mature man now, the king did some soul-searching.

My dear Lan, the kid you saved with your life is a grown man now. If you could see this, you would be so happy!

He sighed and said, “Tian, what brings you here?”

Shen Tian smiled and said, “I heard that my brother is going to Grand White Grotto-Heaven to further his cultivation. I’m here to send him off.”

Shen Ao was shocked by what he heard.

You are here to send me off? No! You are here to finish me off!

Shen Ao was panicking, but Shen Xiao felt touched by the answer.

“It’s good to see you two are on such good terms. Go on, sit beside Ao. You two can have a nice chat. He will not be around in the future. I bet you will miss him.”

Shen Ao’s mouth twitched.

Who the hell is on good terms with him!?

He coughed and said, “Father, I still have to entertain the guests! I think Shen Tian should sit with Second Brother instead!”

The 2nd Prince, Shen Long, was watching the show beside them, and when he heard his name, a chill ran down his spine. He quickly said, “Ermmm, it’s okay. You two should chat more! I’ll entertain the guests for you.”

Seeing that his two brothers were so nice and kind, Shen Tian was very touched.

“Brothers, I’m the youngest here. I should be the one going!”

Then, Shen Tian turned around and had the shock of his life. All the guests, who were moving around just now, had all sat down. They were eating the dishes served, and no one had the time to look up at all.

It was as though this meal was the finest meal they had in ages!

Sss!

They were the royals indeed. It was admirable how fast they could react toward an impending disaster!
