My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 380: Deep Sea Prison, Deposed Royal Heir
"Delicious!"
"I never knew there could be such a tasty dessert in this world!"
Mingle stared at the Kernel Mooncake in her hand, filled with various dried Spirit Fruit kernels, increasing her appetite. This was Gu Mansion, not the Crown Princess’s residence or the palace. She hadn’t brought any maids with her and no longer cared about her image, devouring the mooncake with gusto.
Gu Lan watched with a smile on his face. Handmade Kernel Mooncakes, crispy and delicious, were truly a treat fit for mortals.
Seeing Mingle unable to resist the Kernel Mooncake, Gu Lan thought about capitalizing on the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival in Jing Nation to promote Kernel Mooncakes at teahouses.
"Sister, I want another one!"
After finishing one, Mingle came up to Mu Yuyan, her eyes wide with innocence and cuteness.
"If you want more, you’ll have to make them yourself."
"Even if you act spoiled like this, who will dare to marry you in the future?"
"Pow!"
Mu Yuyan flicked Mingle’s forehead with her slender jade finger, though lightly. That particular Kernel Mooncake was specially prepared by her for Gu Lan, and it took several attempts to get it right. Having her younger sister bite into it meant she needed to impose a small punishment.
On the side, Liu Yexi and Xiao Fei’er chuckled at the scene. They seemed to see the playful side of Mu Yuyan and Mingle from their childhood.
"Humph! I don’t want to get married!"
"I’ll stay by Sister’s side forever, protecting her from anyone who tries to bully her!"
After getting her forehead flicked, Mingle wasn’t angry but rather pleased. She moved closer to Mu Yuyan, shot Gu Lan a glance, and then started learning how to make Kernel Mooncakes herself.
After all, Kernel Mooncakes were truly delicious. Once she learned to make them, she could have the maids under her command at the Crown Princess’s residence help make them.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Glared at by his wife’s sister, Gu Lan looked innocent but had no way out. When several women were busy, he had to take on the heavy task of taking care of the children.
"Mumu, would you like Daddy to tell you a story about mooncakes?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a palace on the moon called Guanghan Palace."
"Inside Guanghan Palace lived an immortal who never aged, while outside lived a rabbit with a pestle..."
Gu Lan began telling Simu the story of Chang’e flying to the moon. Simu listened with great interest, though she wasn’t interested in the story of Chang’e and her descendants. She was more interested in the rabbit pounding medicine on the moon and even wanted to catch one to keep as a companion for Ahong and pick the osmanthus flowers on it to make osmanthus cake for the aunts in the palace...
Meanwhile!
East Sea, in a territory not far from the East Sea Dragon Palace, within the Flood Snake Clan.
"Father! I heard that the people from the Dragon Clan still haven’t found Ao Qin’er’s whereabouts."
"And Dragon Sovereign has yet to return. It’s highly likely he was injured under the Immortal Desolation Cliff. Now is our Flood Snake Clan’s best chance to take control!"
"Father, don’t hesitate anymore!"
"The Dragon Clan and Flood Snake Clan share the same roots. It’s because they control the Dragon Gate that even fish and shrimps have a chance to become dragons, making them so powerful."
A young Flood Snake Clan member with golden horns, filled with righteous indignation, looked towards the East Sea Dragon Palace with flames of anger on his face.
He was the young master of the Flood Snake Clan, who had reached the Immortal Stage at a young age and was at the peak of his indignation.
"Why should we!"
"Why can’t our Flood Snake Clan ascend to the Dragon Gate? Why must we toil and strive to cultivate into dragons, even if we grow a horn, we’re only called Flood Dragons!"
"This is unfair!"
Upon hearing his eldest son’s words, the leader of the Flood Snake Clan fell into contemplation. It wasn’t that he was provoked by his son’s words, but rather the unexpected news of Dragon Sovereign’s prolonged absence.
What exactly was under the Immortal Desolation Cliff that even Dragon Sovereign led the entire Dragon Clan into the sea without a trace?
Even if Dragon Sovereign was indeed injured and most of the East Sea Dragon Clan’s forces went to the Demon Realm Immortal Desolation Cliff, the remaining power of the Dragon Clan was still formidable.
If the Flood Snake Clan were to really rise up and take over the East Sea Dragon Palace, they likely wouldn’t hold out for long.
"Chief, we don’t need to attack forcefully."
"Dragon Sovereign, who has led all the Ocean Clan for so many years, isn’t completely invulnerable."

"It’s said that Dragon Sovereign didn’t lack an heir in the past. There was a Dragon Clan Royal Heir... although I don’t know why he was deposed, I’ve heard that he’s now imprisoned beneath the Deep Sea Prison!"
"As long as we release him, with internal and external coordination, we have at least a seventy percent chance!"
At this moment, an elder beside the young master of the Flood Snake Clan spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Flood Snake Clan’s eyes also lit up.
The East Sea Dragon Clan’s diversion of the East Sea’s waters to the Immortal Desolation Cliff didn’t receive unanimous support from all the Ocean Clan members. Many of them, while respectful of Dragon Sovereign, harbored some resentment. After all, diverting so much of the East Sea’s waters also affected them.
However, the former Dragon Clan Royal Heir was now a Deposed Royal Heir.
Whether rescuing a Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan could be effective, he wasn’t very sure. Moreover, it was uncertain whether that Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan was still alive.
If it were him, he would never let a rebellious son live...
"Chief, a seventy percent chance isn’t small."
"I won’t hide it from you, not long ago, after the East Sea Dragon Clan diverted the East Sea’s waters to the Immortal Desolation Cliff, the young master and I secretly went to the Deep Sea Prison. Through a messenger stationed a hundred miles away, we struck a deal with that Deposed Royal Heir of the Dragon Clan."
While the leader of the Flood Snake Clan hesitated, the clan’s strategist threw out another bombshell message, secretly transmitting it to the clan leader.
Upon hearing the content of the message, the leader of the Flood Snake Clan glanced deeply at his son and his strategist, then made a decision.
"Such an opportunity is rare!"
"This is our Flood Snake Clan’s chance to reclaim our former glory. We absolutely cannot miss it!"
"Arrange personnel for immediate action!"
With a wave of his hand, the Flood Snake Clan mobilized its sturdy Demon Clan warriors one after another.
Seeing this, the young master of the Flood Snake Clan was overjoyed.
Immediately, he led a group of Demon Clan warriors towards the forbidden area of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Deep within the forbidden area of the East Sea Dragon Palace lay the Deep Sea Prison.
Deep beneath the sea, it was silent and profound.
Here, there was only endless pressure and darkness.

Further up, silent deep-sea fish swam, still unable to see any light.
At this moment, faint dim lights appeared in the black depths of the sea.
Within these dim lights were Flood Snake Clan warriors.
They swam towards the deepest part of the deep sea.
After an unknown period, they finally reached their destination.
There, it was still boundless black deep sea.
By the faint light, Flood Snake Clan warriors saw a series of sealing formations.
Those sealing formations encircled a huge circle, like a towering pillar that penetrated to the deepest part of the deep sea.
"Your Highness, Third Royal Heir."
"We’ve come to rescue you."
Upon seeing the formations, the Flood Snake Clan Royal Heir hurried forward, placed his hand on the light curtain of the formation, found the weakest spot, and began transmitting messages inside.
After transmitting for a while, there was no response.
Suddenly!
The sea surged!
Within the enormous formation, a pitch-black dragon shadow rose.
