Zhao An noticed the awkward atmosphere, so he bowed to the Duke and Duchess and smiled warmly,
"Her Grace heard that my lord and lady are leaving today, so she asked to see you off with His Majesty's permission..."
Their eyes glinted delightedly as the husband and wife were to kneel in thanks again, but they were stopped by Gu Yunyao.
Song Qin instructed two maids to bring two brocade boxes and said gently,
"These are Her Grace's gifts to you. In this box is a sword worthy of a hero like Your Highness. The red cubilose and white ginseng in the other box are the most nourishing. I hope Your Grace likes them."
The Duke and Duchess bowed again and again to express their appreciation.
Min Rui ordered his attendant to take the gifts. Gu Yunyao was so elegant and graceful, her tearing eyes lingering on Duchess Min's face. He looked at her and immediately realized something. His heart was filled with joy.

The night was whirling and the thin moonlight shined on the ground through the dead wood and flower branches. The light and shadow were mottled.As soon as Qinger entered Gu Yunxi's room, she saw the untouched food on the table. She couldn't help frowning, with a worried expression on her face."You don't have an appetite, right? How can you stand it like this!"The world is like a fleeting show. It had been more than a year and a half since the girl was forced to leave Leng's Mansion until she returned to the Eastern Depot. Now she was safe and sound, but wore a stranger's face.This astonishing change was like a myth. Qinger didn't dare to think about it when she opened or closed her eyes. If she cut off her living skin and replaced it with another one, the pain she would have to endure was huge.At the moment, the only thing she had to do was to get used to the strange and ordinary face as soon as possible. Moreover
The night sky was dark and a crescent moon was hidden in the clouds.At midnight, the Shenle Marquis of Nanyuan was lit up with lights.Wan Li and Lei Huan were drinking liquor at the square table. They chatted and laughed happily.In the hall, apricot-red sleeves fluttered in the air. Four dancers wore exotic costumes. Between the sequined breasts and long skirts, flat and smooth abdomens were exposed. They frequently shook their soft and boneless waists. Their figures moved tactfully and gracefully.The flower hall was fragrant and beautiful, and there were endless orchestral strings and bamboos around the beams.After drinking another glass of wine, Wan Li’s white cheeks were slightly red. He squinted his eyes and the luster of his eyes was slightly misty,"Wu Yong did a bad job this time and he almost made the Marquis's Mansion fall into trouble. Fortunately, you took care of the overall situation and
Seeing everyone looking at him, Priest Wu sat steadily on the head of the bed and suddenly grinned. He inserted his black fingers into his greasy hair and he scratched back and forth. He said, "The Master, I tell you the truth. I have not drunk or eaten anything until this moment. I was tossed up to vomit blood by your fake death medicine before and talked a lot just now. I'm already exhausted. The front chest is attached to the back. Can you go give me something to eat?""OK."Leng Qingtang turned his eyes without warmth ordered guards,"Go and bring some wine and food.""Ah, wait!"Priest Wu waved his hand to stop the guards,"I don't want the wine. I was almost killed by poisoned wine, and I dare not be greedy anymore. How about..."The ending sound stretched, and he flashed his cunning fox eyes to Gu Yunxi.She stood beside the Master, and immediately tightened her body when s
Gu Yunxi paused for a sudden by Master's angry shouts in the yard. Seeing him turning his back to her sharply, the girl blinked with grievance, looked at the lower hem of his gown infatuatedly, and stopped talking.Did he become unhappy?Master was good at controlling his emotions. It was really rare for him to be like this.Gu Yunxi believed that no matter how strong a man was, he would be fragile and sensitive sometime, and he would act like a kid who needed comfort.Thinking of this, Gu Yunxi smiled lightly and walked to Master gently. She stood on tiptoe and put her arms around his neck.Leng Qingtang’s handsome face was still full of anger, not appreciating her pleasing him actively. He raised his hand and held her thin wrist firmly. As soon as he pulled it from his neck, the girl’s exquisite body plunged into his arms instantly like a soft and sweet sticky candy."Master ... "The girl r
Her chin was pinched by two cold fingers. Gu Yunxi endured the discomfort, frowned, and showed obvious panic and disgust on her face.He stared at her eyes and brows with cold eyes enigmatically,"I didn't expect that Master Leng kept you with him again."Gu Yunxi was shocked, but she didn't know why Ming Lan said the word "again".Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She showed a solemn face and said in a deep voice,"Master Ming, I don't know what you are talking about. In broad daylight, could you please let go of me?"They looked into each other's eyes.Ming Lan withdrew his hand slowly. His piercing eyes turned deep suddenly as if he was pleased by something. Compared with his willfulness just now, he looked totally different at this time.Soon, he lowered his eyes slightly and concealed the shrewdness in his eyes, saying in a sharp and lazy tone,"You have be
In the waterside pavilion, the Imperial Noble Concubine Wan Yuyao sat on the main seat. She looked peaceful and her beautiful eyebrows looked cool. Her proud face made her look so cold.She turned her eyes subconsciously and then saw Concubine Xu and Concubine Yu not far from the pavilion. She smiled and raised her eyebrows,"Are you visiting the garden today as well?"She raised her wrist lightly and the pendant on her sleeve made a ding. Wan Yuyao signaled the eunuch to stop and drag the offending female slave to the corner of the screen.Since they were unable to dodge anymore, the two concubines had to come forward to make a bow. To Concubine Xu's surprise, Gu Yunyao seemed so impatient and rushed forward into the pavilion.Concubine Xu was puzzled, but followed Gu Yunyao to make a bow at the Imperial Noble Concubine."Your Grace, wish you all happiness and good luck.""Fine. Sister
When Gu Yunxi ran out of the gate of divine prowess and rushed back to the Eastern Depot on a horse, Leng Qingtang was sitting in his room in the Southern Residence, holding a small enamel magnifying glass and looking at something carefully one inch away from the table.Not long ago, the Eastern Depot and the Western Depot joined forces to extinguish the rebellion in Mount Yin, and after two days, Ming Lan sent someone to return the Kunhuang Island map to the Eastern Depot that they found from Gu Yunxi when she was caught by them.After careful confirmation by the High Priest Yu Xuanji, it proved to be the fake map that Gu Yunxi retrieved from the Swift Tower.So it could be seen that the Shenle Marquis Wan Li always believed that only the map in Lei Huan's hands was real, which was the best situation.However, based on the great disparity in Wu Yong's dictation, the Eastern Depot did not dare to rashly take actions on the W
At noon, in the luxurious Main Hall of Yongning Palace, the tables were filled with delicacies, golden cups and bowls.When the Imperial Noble Concubine Wan Yuyao returned to the palace from Jinli Lake, she was served by the palace maids to remove the heavy headwear and put on simple yet gorgeous palace costumes. The new eunuch Lord Ren accompanied her for the banquet, with a flattering smile, eagerly serving wine and vegetables for the concubine.When the curtain was raised, the maidservant in a pink cotton-padded jacket and yellow shirt came in from outside, holding a cup of steaming fin porridge in her hands. Her coquettish face showed a full smile and her figure was so beautiful and charming.Even though the red and blue scars on her swollen little face didn't disappear, her mental attitude was different from the person crying in the water pavilion at the previous moment.She was Xier, but her real body was Tu Muxue whos
