The night was dark. At Counselor-in-chief Shi’s Mansion, after hearing the report from Miaoyin Hall, Shi Ling fell silent, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back in the brightly lit study, "Go back and tell Her Grace to hide the Commandery Princess. No news about her should be disclosed to the outside world. As for Imperial Doctor Qi, make sure to take good care of him."
The eunuch, who was passing on the message, became more and more confused and asked, "Counselor-in-chief, this matter is of great importance. Her Grace sent me here to get it straight with you. Right now, do you really need to keep the dirty things that person has done from His Majesty? Her Grace is afraid that a delay might cause trouble..."
Shi Ling stopped abruptly. He looked at the candlestick with his slightly cloudy old eyes and then narrowed his eyes at the jumping candlelight, "The Commandery Princess is a strong witness of several cases, so we must protec
When Huanan Xin strode out of Jingyang Palace, he was a different person with stern eyes and neat attire.He went to the outer garden and met his Ninth Uncle Huanan He.Huanan He suddenly narrowed his black eyes. He had already noticed the clear and fine scars on the side of the Emperor's lips.When a gust of wind passed, something penetrated into his heart densely. It was endless pain and hatred."Pay my respect to you, Your Majesty." Avoiding the cold scrutiny of the Emperor, Huanan He bowed deeply.When he stood up straight, he looked happy and casual as always. "Your Majesty, why did you summon me to your imperial harem at night?"He had just made Mrs. Yuancang confess to her crime and was immediately brought into the Palace by the Imperial Guards. Moreover, he was led to Jingyang Palace.What the hell did Huanan Xin do to Gu Yunxi?The smile
At the northern suburb of Jing City, a thrilling chase ended when someone’s neck was twisted and broken by his opponent."Son, in your next life, remember not to choose human skins. Well, it's a sin for you to live like this."With one kick, the body on the ground was kicked off the cliff.His slender fingers brushed over the densely embroidered Kylin robe. He spun around and said to the two who followed, "There are hungry wolves at the bottom of the cliff, and his body is really not enough. You must remember that if you dare to be unfaithful to me, I will also kill you and feed you to the wolves.""We’ll always obey your orders."The two of them hung their heads lower in panic, then disappeared into the woods one after the other, and walked down the path.All was silent.Under the clear moon, the shadows of the trees were shaking slightly, and a mysterious figure floated down from the
Upon receiving the summons, Wang Can put on his clothes and was guided into Qinming Hall by a eunuch.Huanan Xin was drinking tea by the jumping candlelight. The scar on the corner of his mouth was scalded by the warm tea from time to time, and his eyebrows twitched a few times uncontrollably."Long live, Your Majesty."When Wang Can entered the door, he noticed the small wound on the Emperor's face, but he didn't know it was left by a woman.He just glanced at the Emperor and immediately lowered his eyes in shock, and he bowed his head respectfully."Oh, Xingzhi, just stand up."He was addressed by the Emperor by his courtesy name. Although it seemed close, it somehow made Wang Can feel a little uneasy.Back in the embassy four hours ago, he had put on a good show with the Ninth Prince and finally found out the truth of the two murder cases of the envoys of Ying State.But
It was late at night when Huanan He returned to his mansion in a daze.He had just entered his bedroom when a man in red clothes stepped up to meet him."Brother He, I finally see you again!"His voice was clear and cool, like the pure mountain stream flowing in the sunset. The words were filled with indescribable excitement, which were trembling."Xuanji... Xiu?"Huanan He stood where he was. He looked at the handsome man across from him in a daze. Then he stretched out his hands, folded them with the man's hands, and held them tightly.The man was Yu Xuanji, the favorite minister of the deceased emperor, and he had served as High Priest. He was an important figure who jointly influenced the court of Da Yi with Leng Qingtang, the former Commander-in-chief in the Eastern Depot, a fake eunuch who was once the identity of Huanan He.As they looked at each other, Yu Xuanji wept and his ton
Day alternated with night.Gu Yunxi frequently felt the pain caused by Qianji poison in her body.The poison seeped into her internal organs and eroded every inch of her nerves.She felt as if her bones had been cut and her flesh had been gouged out, which made her roll around on the ground on the soft golden blanket made of passionflower. Her limbs twitched, and she moaned.A trace of black and decaying blood flowed out of her seven orifices.Xiuyu was the only one guarding Gu Yunxi.She saw Gu Yunxi curl up in a mess by bursts of severe pain. Except for the desperate sobs, this kind young girl didn't know what to do.The moonlight was bleak, and the night shrouded Jing City in all directions.A man in black hid in the dark of the outer corner of Jingyang Palace for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to climb over the towering palace wall.The servants w
It was dark and cloudless.It was silent. Around Jingyang Palace came the smell of pine oil.At midnight, the inner and outer courts of Jingyang Palace were on fire after a few strange flute sounds.The fire raged with the help of autumn winds, which Fu Danqing did not expect.Seeing the fire cast shadows on the windows, Xiuyu began to cry from being frightened.Gu Yunxi was in agony because of the poison. She leaned against the window holding Xiuyu who was trembling and comforted her.Gu Yunxi had mixed feelings while the fire was grand outside.Gu Yunxi had no fear of death, but at that moment, she did not want to die.There was someone in the world she loved and cared about.In order to see Huanan He, Gu Yunxi had a strong desire for survival. She was determined and would never easily give up her thought of escaping from the Palace that was like a cage for h
When the honor guards arrived at Jingyang Palace, the fire was put out.The magnificent palace was almost ruined. Only dilapidated walls which were completely burnt black remained."Yunxi... Where is Yunxi?" Huanan Xin shouted.Huanan Xin sitting in the imperial carriage was shocked, and then he suddenly stood up while shouting.The captain of the Honour Guards knelt by the broken walls and lowered his head, feeling uneasy."Your Majesty, two bodies were burnt in the Main Hall. It should be Her Grace Concubine Yun and her maid..." The captain said."No, impossible... It's not her. I have told her not to leave me..." Huanan Xin said.As Huanan Xin was stunned and said to himself, he turned pale.Suddenly, Huanan Xin was dazed. He almost fell from the carriage."Your Majesty, be cautious. The dead can't get a life again. Don't be too sad. Please take care of your
It was in Wang's Mansion.Mrs. Wang closed her oil-paper umbrella and crossed the threshold with a wet skirt's hemline in her hand.Seeing her husband sitting in front of the desk in the study and getting drunk, she inevitably complained."Master, it's time for sleep. Why do you drink so much wine? The door is open and the water vapor outside is not good for your health..."Wang Can raised his confused drunken eyes with the wine jug in his hand and smiled at the woman."You... You're a woman. Don't be officious...Well... Go to serve mother...""Oh, look at yourself..."Hearing his vague voice, Mrs. Wang knew that he had drunk a lot. She was complaining but felt distressed.Turning to Wang Can, the woman leaned over his ear and raised her voice."Rest assured. Mother has fallen asleep. Doctor Jiang does have excellent medical skills. Mother only takes a few of h
