Zhao An hurried back to Jingyang Palace. When he saw the palace maids standing under the corridor, he was shocked. He ran forward without wiping his head full of sweat, asking Song Qin in surprise.
"Why are you all here? Where's the master? It's getting dark! Why aren't you preparing for dinner? Did you meet the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot when coming back?"
"You are back at last..."
Song Qin looked so aggrieved with red eyes under the lantern. She tilted her head to the closed door and said,
"Don't mention the Eastern Depot anymore. I just spoke for Madam Mu in front of the master and then she got so angry that she drove everyone out. She only asked for a bowl of cubilose porridge when coming back. Nobody was allowed to enter the room."
"You ought to have known better!"
Zhao An was furious. He kept pointing at Song Qin with his index finger and asked viciously.
"You followe
In Yongning Palace…All of a sudden, chaos broke out all over the yard, screaming, cursing, and bursts of laughter, which was extremely ear-piercing.Gu Yunxi turned her head and exchanged gazes with the two guards. The three of them strode into the yard at the same time.Gu Yunxi stopped under the dim light and looked intently, only to see a man running ahead with many eunuchs and maids chasing after him. The scene was chaotic.The person who ran first was extremely fast and he was very nimble to dodge. He held a cloth tiger in his hand, chuckling loudly."Come on! come on! Catch me! You can't catch me!""Hurry up! We need more people! You go over there! You come over!""Catch him quickly! Don't let him disturb Her Grace!"Wasn't that Prince Chen? It was really strange. We were all guarding outside just now, but why didn't we notice his slipping into Yongning Palace?
Gu Yunxi stood outside blankly, curled her lips when facing the door, and started crying in a low voice then.She was turned away twice in one day and she really didn't know what she had done wrong.She felt so sad, aggrieved, and worried about the physical condition of Master.At the moment, Leng Qingtang was lying on the bed, his body burning like countless ants crawling in it.He rolled again and again in the soft bedding, but the feelings of emptiness and excitement in his body were not alleviated at all.His head was filled with Gu Yunxi’s small face with different expressions, her smiling face, her anxious look, her depressed face, and her sobbing face...These were all great stimuli to him, which made his blood start burning badly.Leng Qingtang closed his eyes and bit his lower lip, trembling, and tried to continue to resist.He raised his arms and tried to gather h
The palace maids’ exclamations interrupted Huanan Jiyan who was practicing Kungfu excitedly.She turned her head and saw Empress Qian wearing a thin glorious cloak standing at the end of the corridor. There was not much jewelry on her head."Mum, why do you not sleep at night and come to the Princess Palace?"Straightening up, Huanan Jiyan grinned as she was twisting her waist. He then raised her arms to wipe the sweat on her cheeks."I greet Your Grace."Lu Qiange noticed something wrong and bowed his head.Empress Qian glanced at him coldly. She fixed her eyes on her daughter and rushed in a few steps. Sulian had to follow Empress Qian all the way, raising the lantern to light up the road for her master."You also know that it is late at night? What are you doing here without going to rest!"Empress Qian's eyes were cold and stern enough to catch people, and the Fourth Pr
Gu Yunxi noticed the strangeness and couldn't help but tensed her body. She moved unnaturally and separated for a short distance from Master.Looking down shyly, she finally knew why Master always said that he carried self-defense weapons with him when they were on the same bed in the past.After all, she was a virgin and she had a strong curiosity when she looked at it.Leng Qingtang looked depressed but couldn't tell directly. He lowered his eyes and looked at her with a serious face, embarrassed and speechless. All the veins on his forehead "jumped" around.He didn't know where Wan Yuyao got the miraculous medicine. Although the nerves had calmed down, there seemed to be some medicine effect remaining in the body.Now, as the girl's curious gaze was inquiring, the aftermath of that trace of medicine immediately set off a storm again."What are you looking at! Be careful, otherwise, I will punish
In Jingyang Palace…The eunuchs took the armchair and helped Empress Qian to sit down. The steps outside were chaotic. Concubine Xu, Concubine Shu, and several concubines of the imperial harem hurriedly arrived.Officials and palace maids in the courtyard greeted them one after another.Concubine Xu's eyes were bright and she didn't need to turn her head deliberately. From the end of her eyes, she could catch a glimpse of Leng Qingtang, Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, and Gu Yunxi, who looked unnatural beside him.Raising the cold eyebrows slightly, Concubine Xu treated them as if they had been air and ignored them. She walked straight to Empress with the other sisters, bowing to greet her.Because of Concubine Yu's miscarriage, Empress Qian had a headache again. She had to support her head with one hand and her face became ill.With eyes raised weakly, she whispered to the concubines,
When they walked out of Jingyang Palace, Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi saw the Imperial Noble Concubine Wan Yuyao kneeling on the ground with her head low.Wrapped in white, she let her long black hair loose with no adornment and wept to Emperor Jingxiao.When Emperor went directly from the gate to the imperial carriage, she cried out in tears,"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! How is Concubine Yu? I am to blame. I should not have invited her to my palace. Your Majesty, I have committed an unforgivable sin. I will take any punishment."The woman then bent over to kowtow, banging the ground with each hit.When she looked up again, she was crying miserably.On the sedan, Emperor closed his eyes with a long sigh. Gloomily, he managed to restrain his impatience and said to the woman,"Go back now. You make noise here and only disturb Concubine Yu. She is resting. I will have the case investigated t
The palace maid's speech was so forceful as if she had used all her strength, which led to an uproar in the hall.Concubine Xu stood at the head of the concubines, staring blankly at the various eyes cast on her. She was stunned and only reacted after a while. She quickly knelt down with her chief maid Jinzhu.Putting her hands together and lowering her eyebrows, Concubine Xu was very angry, but slowly argued with indignation,"Your Majesty, that is not true. Concubine Yu and I are like sisters. How can I harm her? I am already a mother and know the hardships of pregnancy and nurturing. Now that my sister was pregnant, how could I be so cruel to poison the child of Your Majesty and her!"Gu Yunxi gazed incredulously at what was happening in front of her, feeling that she was in a vague dream.As Concubine Xu said, she and Concubine Yu had always been good friends. Gu Yunxi believed that someone had harmed Concub
Women who had lived in the deep Palace for a long time were strange to such a bloody scene and immediately held their heads and shouted in shock.Gu Yunxi stared blankly at the breathless woman who was carried out of the hall. She gasped for breath as her eyes were as clear as mirrors. Her blood in the body was raging, emitting heat like never before.Her heart, as if clutched by ghostly hands, stopped beating at the moment when the maid hit the pillar.She knew that Fang Mo's death was undoubtedly the same thing to push Concubine Xu into the hopeless abyss.As expected, Emperor Jingxiao slowly stood up from the dragon chair with his tense body. The blades-like glare shot from his twitchy eyes and stayed on the stunned face of Concubine Xu.After a while, he asked with a trembling weak voice,"Concubine Xu, did you see? Fang Mo knew that she could not escape from the crime and killed herself on the
