On March 20th, in the Pengxian Temple of the capital.
Emperor Jingxiao walked out of Sanqingguan Hall with his hands crossed behind his back and with his concubines accompanying him.
In recent days, so many weird things had happened in the imperial harem. Last night, Empress Qian of the Eastern Palace had a bad headache. Emperor Jingxiao believed that the Palace was plagued by evil things, so he planned to go out of the Palace at the auspicious time of this day and go to the imperial Dao Temple in person to pray for blessings.
When they came, the sky was covered by dark clouds and the cold wind was so fierce. But after a religious rite, the sky turned clear when they came out of the hall.
In the queue, Maiden Yang said happily,
"Oh, absolute sincerity will really move a heart of stone! God must have been moved by His Majesty's absolute sincerity! I've thought it would rain heavily, but it is sunny now. It's all
It was almost noon when Wan Yuyao returned to Yongning Palace, and with her were the Seventh Prince Huanan Lin and Nanny Tong who took care of him.As soon as she entered the warm room, Wan Yuyao couldn't wait to take off her clothes, urging the palace maid to prepare the bath water in the bathroom."Quick! Quick! I have to take a bath right now. It's so dirty! Wearing that bi**h's clothes made me get goose bumps."Wan Yuyao complained and stared at the white underwear on the soft blanket with an expression of resentment.That dress was exactly the one that Concubine Xu wore before. Wan Yuyao wouldn't have put on it certainly if it hadn't been that Concubine Xu's smell remained on it.As a mother, she had always been aware that children liked the smell of their mothers most.If she wanted to get the Seventh Prince, she had to perform well in front of Emperor. The secret weapon that could help her su
Ren Yi returned to Yongning Palace and rushed to the warm room to report to Wan Yuyao,"Your Grace, everything is done."Wan Yuyao was half-lying on the bed. Her brand-new underwear was wide open, showing her plump breasts."How is it?"The seductive woman leaned slightly with her sinister eyes fixed on the eunuch."Don't worry, Your Grace. I tied a stone to Nanny Tong's body personally and sank her into Jinli Lake.""Well, how about Chuxiu Palace?" The woman raised her brows coldly.The eunuch lowered his head and smiled,"Sufficient sleeping pills were added into their dinner before delivered. It's enough for them to sleep for two days and it can't be detected by the silver hairpin at all. Once they opened their eyes, those two could only chat with King of Hell in the nether world.""Hahaha... "Wan Yuyao looked up and laughed wildly. She then re
At dawn, the sun came out through the clouds, and the bright light pierced the billowing smoke and dust on the ground, dazzling people's eyes.When Emperor Jingxiao and Empress Qian rushed to Chuxiu Palace, the fire had been extinguished for a long time.The ruins and the broken walls all over were burnt to black and the magnificence and splendor of the Palace could no longer be found."How could this be... How could this be..."With tears in her eyes, Empress Qian hugged her head in pain and shook her body."Your Grace, take care of yourself..."Sulian raised her hands to support Empress Qian with a sad expression.Her Grace just recovered from a headache. Hearing that there was no danger in Chuxiu Palace, she immediately followed Emperor to come here. What if she hurt her heart because of the grief caused by the death of Concubine Xu?The palace maids, eunuchs, and people
In the Sixiang Hut…Yu Xuanji recited a sacred book, raised his eyes, and put the bracelets which were made of clam lightly on the long table.Green smoke came from the incense burner.Turning around slightly, the beautiful man was suddenly attracted by something and his dark eyes gradually focused.Three points of red light faded out in the incense burner and three pillars of sandalwood were of different lengths.The man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.The incense could connect the three realms. Taoists said that one incense burner was lit up and it could know everything thousands of miles away.There was no need to deliberately conduct a religious rite and Yu Xuanji had already predicted the future from the burning incense sticks.The weird sound made him look down at the incense table. The mutton fat jade bottle that was banned by the orange and yellow curse seemed
After sending the three concubines away and dismissing the nanny, Wan Li shut the door tight and rushed into the warm chamber.Wan Yuyao was lying on the couch, her silky hair cascading down half of her delicate face. The other half was cold and pale as porcelain.Wan Li gently walked over and squatted down by the couch. He picked a strand of her long hair and tucked it behind her ear."Eldest Sister, what happened to you just now?"Wan Yuyao cast her frightened and confused eyes slowly at the man. Her feeble body suddenly trembled as she grabbed his hand and kept sobbing,"Brother, I just saw Xu Yuanjiao. Huanan Lin was possessed by her. The child's expression was so scary! It's Xu Yuanjiao. It must be her who haunted me. She will have my life sooner or later!"Wan Li felt pins and needles in the scalp. He exchanged a glance with the chief maid Lihu, who was also nervous and frightened, and then tu
Waking up from her sleep, Gu Yunyao opened her eyes languidly.Light filled the room like wisps of golden thread, glittering and flowing. Warm shadows gently lay on the snow-white walls.However, the woman's heart was fraught with coldness.Quietly getting out of bed, Gu Yunyao, clad in a long fur, pushed open the door of the main hall.Zhao An was guarding on the porch. He was surprised when he saw the mistress walked out without a word. His lips moved but words were blocked in his throat.Gu Yunyao's foggy eyes moved away from Zhao An as if she didn’t have a soul. Stumbling down the jade steps, she gazed straight at the courtyard.Jingyang Palace was not small. It had an elaborate architectural style and unique carved beams.Several expensive magnolia trees in the courtyard would bloom with bowl-sized white flowers when the flowering season came.After passing through a r
It was still dark at dawn. Zhao An, who just came off his night duty, hurried out of the Palace after receiving the news.Zhao An entered a private room of the teahouse, but he didn’t see Leng Qingtang.Inside was a guard standing by the window, looking alert. Next to him was a square table, by which a person sat. It was... Madam Mu?Seeing that the person she came to see had arrived, Gu Yunxi put down her teacup and got up to greet,"Lord Zhao, long time no see. How have you been?""Squire Tu, nice to see you. Were you looking for me?"Zhao An scanned her studded purple leather armor as he spoke, and then he bowed respectfully.Gu Yunxi stretched her hand to the tea table and spoke frankly,"To be honest, I was ordered by Master Leng and came to see you here. Please, sit down."Zhao An looked at her plain face and declined no more."Lord Zhao, I h
Zhao An returned to the Palace, but he didn’t see Gu Yunyao. While he was puzzled, Tu Muxue entered the main hall in a pink gown."Hey, Lord Zhao. Why aren't you resting after your night duty?"The girl smiled sweetly while shaking water off her hands.Her small hands are delicate and extremely fair after soaking in water.Zhao An stared at her in shock, his face being a little tense but still calm.Zhao An just met with Squire of the Eastern Depot, so he knew in his heart that the girl was not Gu Yunxi.No wonder he had had a strange feeling of alienation the first time he saw her. But he did feel the warmth of family every time he was with Squire Tu.Today's teahouse meeting finally solved the puzzle buried in Zhao An's heart for a long time!"Lord Zhao, your eyes are swollen. Have you been crying?"The girl suddenly came forward. Her bright eyes changed as s
