Part 1 The Lotus Leaf in the Sky are Infinitely Green


The sky at the northern desert is broad but cold, with thin clouds and sparse stars. At the horizon, light grey is mixed into the black base, the sand that was carried by the wind, making a sound when each wave hits the tents.

After continuous battle in the last few days, they have successfully annihilated the twenty thousand troops under Prince Xiu Xie of West Turk. Prince Xiu Xie and his generals were captured alive, including 38 ministers and 4700 people surrendered. The military camp of Tian Chao is in celebration mood. There were bonfires is each corner while the soldiers are feasting on meat and drunk on wine to celebrate their victory.

Some people sing, some laugh, yell, some cried. The soldiers who returned alive bathed in blood used this opportunity to release their suppressed emotions after a meeting with death, there was also no command to stop them from doing so. The whole troops will continue to chase Prince Gu Lan of West Turk who has escaped to Yan Ran Mountain after a quick re-arrangement, this will also be another deadly battle.

They are always close to death whenever they are at the battlefield, causing each bonfires to be lit especially bright. They sing and drink today, who would know where their body would be buried tomorrow? Live is just a moment of rejoice, there is no point of return when they go.
A slightly bigger tent at the centre of the camp, not far from the lively bonfire, but all laughter and cries could hardly be heard from within the tent. It was isolated and looks out of place under the glow of the fire, as though only the glow of the sparse stars from the sky falling onto it, making it especially quiet.

Even though some fires were lit at the few tents behind it, they are much more controlled compared to the surrounding. They were neatly set up, with guards on patrol passing by at a certain time, maintaining guards even under the relaxed atmosphere.

Ye Tianling was alone within the tent lit by a light, shining onto the map of northern desert in front of him, emphasizing the deep definition of his side feature, sharp as a knife.

“Your Highness!” Head of Prince Ling manor, Wei Changzheng, came in. He was covered in dust, as though he had hastened his return from somewhere.

Ye Tianling raised his head from the map: “How is it?”

Wei Changzheng handed over a bag of something: “I have taken our people to search almost throughout the whole mountain, but only found these scattered around in different places. We met two houses to ask, each of them said that they knew the young miss before, but has not seen her for a long time.”

Ye Tianling looked through the bag he handed in, it was one of the few medical books that they were reading that day, a slight knot appeared between his brows, then he stood up and walked a few steps, saying: “Pick a hundred men who are familiar with Jiang Hu from Divine troop to search, to the south along the Yu Nu River towards Heng Ling, north towards East Turk, whether dead or alive, it is impossible to disappear without a trace.”

“Yes, sir!” Wei Changzheng accepted his instruction and left.

Ye Tianling turned around to continue to read the map, then raised his head in deep thought, his dark eyes were deep like the night sky, extinguishing all forms of light. After a long time, his gaze fell onto the medical books, he raised his hand to pick it up, it seems that there were still traces of the candle light from the bamboo house, traces of someone reading the book quietly with their hands. If not because the pain that he felt whenever he accidentally pulled on his wound, he might have thought that it was a dream from another world, disappeared with a blink of an eye.

Due to being wet, many parts of the books has become blurry. He flipped a few pages, flapped his robe and sat down. After looking for a while, he picked up his brush to fill in the missing part, then continue to read like that.

The tent's curtain was suddenly raised, Shiyi entered in huge steps, carrying the smell of burning charcoal and roast meat that quickly blending the quietness within the tent with the liveliness from outside: “Fourth brother! Are you not going out to see? Tang Chu that brat competed shooting with me. He's going to even lose his armor soon!”

Ye Tianling slightly smiled: “When has he ever defeated you? He never learns from his mistakes.”
Shiyi sat in front of the table: “I saw Changzheng returned from afar, any news?”

Ye Tianling shook his head: “Only a few books.”

Worry appeared on Shiyi's bright face: “It has been so many days, I'm afraid…… she might have been harmed. We still implicated her in the end.”

Ye Tianling moved his gaze ahead, after a short while, he said: “We will continue to search for as long as she is missing, whether she is harmed or safe will only be decided when we have seen her.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The night in Yige city is different from the northern desert, where the night is warm and quiet, with a faint smell of flowers and greens, faint lights from flying insects passed by once in a while, a quick flash through the night sky, lightly fall afar, then another flash, but only to come closer.
Shadow of the moon rose from the eastern mountain, like a pair of quiet eyes, quietly shining its silver glow in the quiet and deep night.

Qingchen looked out from the window, there are still leftover smell of tonic in the room. Consort Jin just supervised her consuming the medication given by the doctor, then got someone to deliver some tonic that helps to strengthen the body. She treated Qingchen like her own sister these few days. She took care of many things for her and made sure that she had everything she needed. The two became close and found out that they were able to connect in many different topics.

Under the imperial clan of Tian Chao, there were also Feng, Wei, Su, Jin, and Yin noble clans. They are known for producing talented people with each clan taking control of different important positions in the government. In addition to that, they also have marriage alliance with the imperial family. They have become much more powerful since the start of the dynasty, becoming powerful noble families with deep roots.

The given name of Consort Jin is Hui, born from one of the noble family Jin. Even though she is only Ye Tianzhan's second consort, but Ye Tianzhan has not marry a main consort so the people within the prince manor still greeted her as a Consort and many issues related to the manor are also being taken care of by her.

Jin Hui has a soft character, complementing the elegance of Ye Tianzhan, just like wisteria that gracefully complements the beauty of ganodermas, bright tree complemented by light flowers, beautiful to the eyes and the heart. The whole prince Zhan manor is always filled with an air of comfort and relaxation, the wind that carries smiles penetrating each grasses and leaves, just like undefeated spring filled with light breeze, graceful and poised.

Ye Tianzhan seemed to be very busy these few days, Qingchen has not seen him since they came back from the central district office that day. She does not know that the Tian Wu Zui Fang case has created a huge wave within the capital, there were strong movements of the political situation of the country due to this case.
