Candace flew in the sky with Iris in her arms. Although Iris had the ability to fly, she was still cautious and didn't want to risk falling from the sky and spend the new year lying in bed. That's why she decided to let Candace hold her, at least it was safer and eliminated the risk of falling from mid-air.

An hour later, the two arrived at the Queen Mother's residence. Candace put Iris down on the ground.

"Your Highness, please." Candace bowed respectfully and made a polite gesture.

"Okay." Iris responded softly and immediately walked into the castle.

Candace followed behind Iris and entered the castle. The Queen Mother was sitting in a chair reading a book.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Your Highness." Iris and Candace both saluted Ye Li.

"Well done, Candace." Ye Li smiled and said, "You can stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Your Majesty, I have delivered Princess Iris to you. I leave now," Candace said.

Ye Li nodded upon hearing this and said, "Alright, go ahead and busy yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Candace bowed and left.

Iris approached Ye Li and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you look so worried? Is there something bothering you?"

"Ah, it's nothing. It's just that I am a bit tired lately." Ye Li sighed.

"Do you want to rest for a while?" Iris suggested.

"I am resting now, aren't I? Every day I read, drink tea and take a nap. So it is very strange that I feel tired without any reason." Ye Li explained.

"Ah, I see." Iris heard what her grandmother said and didn't ask any further. She knew that if there was a reason, her grandmother would tell her. If her grandmother didn’t want to tell her and made up the reason, Iris thought that she didn’t need to ask further.

"Oh, by the way, grandmother, these are the tea leaves I planted for you. I know you like tea very much, so I brought the high-quality tea leaves I planted," Iris handed over the tea leaves she had grown to Ye Li.

"Oh? Are these the tea leaves you planted yourself, Iris?" Ye Li took the tea leaves and sniffed them. "It's sweet and fragrant. They should be the top-notch quality."

Iris nodded proudly and said, "Yes, I spent a lot of time researching how to grow tea leaves."

Ye Li was pleased with the aroma of the tea leaves and said, "Iris, you are really talented to be able to cultivate such high-quality tea leaves. You are becoming more and more outstanding."

"Hey hey." Iris scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, grandmother. Have a taste of the tea and see how it tastes." Iris said as she placed the tea leaves in a cup and added some hot water.

After a while, Ye Li took a sip, nodded and said, “Well, it's sweet and fragrant indeed. It's no wonder that you planted these tea leaves yourself, Iris."

"Haha, I'm glad you like it, grandmother." Iris replied with a smile.

"What do you want to eat for dinner tonight, Iris?" Ye Li asked.

"For dinner? I want to eat the fish that you cooked by yourself, grandmother." Iris requested.

"I will go to the kitchen later and cook a big carp for our little Iris to eat. Is that okay?" Ye Li said with a smile.

"Okay, my grandmother is the best to me." Iris said in a childlike manner, jumping with joy.

"Hehe," Ye Li smiled and poked Iris's nose, saying, "You are really a good child."

Upon hearing this, Iris looked shy and lowered her head.

"Okay, Iris, you can return to your room and practice. I will call you when it's time to eat." Ye Li said with a smile.

"Yes, dear grandmother." Iris saluted and turned around to walk to her room. With the breakthrough of the forbidden spell of the Summoning System, Iris could summon another summoned beast. If she can summon two ferocious summoned beasts, it is quite impressive. Thinking about this, Iris sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

Although Iris' Summoning System has been already at the advanced level, continuing to practice Summoning System requires relatively less time for her to break through to the next level. However, Iris had spent too much time breaking through. As a result, now she looked like a destitute princess with no food to eat.

At the same time, Ye Li was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.

"Cough cough."

Ye Li coughed up blood, so she frantically wiped it away with a handkerchief, but it continued to flow from the corner of her mouth.

"Why is this happening now?" Ye Li muttered to herself.

Although Ye Li knew that her organs were gradually failing and it should have been a chronic illness, why were her organs failing so rapidly?

"Plak!" Ye Li spat out black blood.

"Black blood?" Ye Li could clearly feel the elemental power of Iris mixed in with the blood. "Could it be that Iris wants to kill me?"

Ye Li thought to herself.

Gradually Ye Li's body emitted the aura of Iris's magic, and she realized that someone wanted to trap her granddaughter.

Three years ago, Ye Li had already felt that her organs were slowly failing, but for some reason, within a week after the new year, her organs stopped failing. She thought that her body had made a recovery, but today her decline had been sudden and rapid. Coupled with the fact that her body emitted the aura of her granddaughter's magic, it seemed that someone wanted to create a scene where Iris killed her, putting a strain on the mother-daughter relationship between Lilia and Iris.

Ye Li wanted to reveal the truth, but her vision slowly blurred and she couldn't speak. She collapsed in the kitchen, gradually losing her breath, and her body temperature began to drop...

Meanwhile, the magic aura on Ye Li grew even stronger...

A female Ghost in the castle walked around, wondering aloud, "Hey, where is Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Oh, it's the New Year's Eve, I believe Her Majesty the Queen should be in the kitchen." So the Ghost headed towards the kitchen.

"Your Majesty the Queen, what's happened to you?" As an Ghost, she couldn't touch Her Majesty, so she ran out of the kitchen and headed to the top of the castle to find her brother.

"Brother, Her Majesty the Queen is unconscious in the kitchen and there's blood on her lips. You need to go and see her quickly!" The Ghost said anxiously.

Without saying a word, Dou Gu rushed into the kitchen. As soon as he touched Her Majesty's cold, stiff hand, he said in a deep voice, "Her Majesty the Queen...she's dead."

"That's impossible. How could someone as powerful as Her Majesty the Queen die like this? Brother, everything you're saying is a lie, isn't it?" The Ghost said.

Dou Gu also checked for breath at Her Majesty's nose, feeling none.

"Sister, stay here and guard the scene. I'm going to find the Queen." Dou Gu spread his enormous bloody wings and flew towards the Sleepless Temple.
