Let’s leave the reaction in Imperial Palace for the time being aside and go back to the day when Luo Yichen left Tantai City.
Qu Qingning and others followed Luo Yichen all the way, and finally arrived at a provincial capital before sunset. Tianji Country implemented the same county system as Dahan Country. It was only a day’s ride from Tantai City, which should be the nearest provincial capital to the national capital.
“Luoyue City?”
Qu Qingning pulled the reins and stopped the horse. Looking up, he saw two big black stone words mottled with wind and frost were still clear. He said excitedly, “Brother Luo, is this your hometown?”
It seemed that Luo Yichen didn’t hear Qu Qingning’s words. Looking at the ancient city in the sunset, he was stunned and did not answer. His indifferent face was the same as Fang Yuan’s, showing a strong complexity.
“Brother Luo?”
Qu Qingning wanted to ask again, but was held by
“Regret?”Qu Qingning raised his eyebrows and stepped on the chest of the fat servant, laughing, “I’ve never regretted in my life. Do you want me to experience that?”The fat servant spat blood under Qu Qingning’s feet, full of fear. He supported himself with his hands and wanted to escape from here.“Psycho, you are a psycho!! How dare you! He Family are not cowards. You... you’ll see...”Pia!!“You are too noisy!”Qu Qingning impatiently knocked him out. Witnessing what had happened on the fat servant, the rest of the servants had climbed together. They were afraid to speak up just as those terrified diners.“It’s quiet finally.”Qu Qingning glanced at the diners who had already escaped, turned around and asked, “Brother Luo, where are we going next?”Luo Yichen thought for a while and said, “Brother Qu, please handle this. I want to go home before we set up.”
Luo Yingying looked at his back, and felt she was familiar with this tall, straight figure. Finally, the figure became the young man in her memory.Was he?Was it the one who had been dead for seven years?Luo Yingying’s eyes were suddenly moist. Subconsciously, she walked towards him, but suddenly stopped, pointing to the memorial tablet with trembling lips and repeatedly confirmed, “You… What did you call her?”“Well…”Under the black hat came a complex sigh. Luo Yichen slowly turned around and took down the hat, trying to make himself smile more naturally.“I’m back.”Dong!The dagger hidden in the sleeves dropped on the ground and made a dull sound.Looking at the sharp and mature face, she was not happy but shocked, and stepped back.“Be careful.”Luo Yichen whispered and immediately embraced her arms.As soon as being touch
There was a huge manor which occupied 70% of the best part of scenery of the western Luoyue City. Undoubtedly, the owner of the manor was the overlord in this city, He Family, which had fostered a lot of empresses and concubines.At the moment, a large number of family guards and seniors fell on the ground in the calm and peaceful manor. The rest were a small group of top men of He Family. They were caught and driven to the front hall square.After a while, a group of women of He Family were also driven there. He Yulan, who married the First Prince, wearing a red dress, was among them.“Ah!”Fang Mu pushed He Yulan indifferently and harshly to the front. He Yulan slipped and fell in front of He Lun, the master of He Family. He Lun turned pale, and rushed to hold his daughter. He was too furious to be crazy, pointing at Fang Mu to rebuke loudly,“How dare you! How dare you to force your way into Prime Minister’s Mansion
In the next morning, while he was sleeping comfortably, Tantai Yu was suddenly dragged from his bed by Tantai Mingyue, who rushed in.“What happened? Second Sister. Why are you so flurried?”For thinking a lot these days, Tantai Yu had two dark circles under his eyes. Yesterday, he fell asleep very late. And now he had just been sleeping for less than four hours. However, Tantai Mingyue couldn’t consider too much. Holding the clothes of Crown Prince, she urged, “Come on, get up! Father abruptly ordered to put Her Highness into Cold Palace!” “What?!”Tantai Yu woke up in a sudden. He asked unbelievably, “Put He Jinwei into Cold Palace?”Tantai Mingyue nodded seriously, “I’ve been to Kunning Palace. It’s locked down by father. Nobody can see what’s going on inside.” “Didn’t Prime Minister He protest? He Jinwei is his first granddaughter!”Tantai Yu was utterly confused. Father fe
It was three days later when Tantai Yu finished handing the matter of He Family. When he went back to the Eastern Palace, he knew that Su Li had left the day before yesterday. Tantai Mingyue gave him a letter from Su Li. The content of the letter was simple, telling that he should took care of himself, but mentioning nothing about He Family or his accession to the throne.Tantai Yu wanted to ask her face to face, but he was about to ascend the throne, and after that he would be too busy to have enough time to sleep, let alone went to Dahan Country in person.As for He Family, there were still some rumors that no one believed as topics for civilians to talk. Other things had disappeared in the public and became taboos in officials of imperial court. A few days later, at Ling Mansion of Yunjing City, Dahan Country,Ling Mo dressed as a servant, walked into the courtyard with breakfast and turned around. He saw Ling Li sitting under
The night was as cool as water.The cold moonlight shined on the ground under the silent night sky, two long shadows being reflected.“Useless work?”Su Li smiled, “Old man, what I did is none of your business. If you’re here just to say that, I won’t spend my time to stay with you.”The old beggar seemed to be surprised that Su Li was still impolite to him after she knew some secrets, but he recovered as usual quickly, and then laughed.“You’re right, little girl. It’s your own business and I don’t care what you would like to do! Maybe in the end, I will help you.”“Help me?”Su Li frowned and smiled, “Can you help me to fight against the Old Ancestor of the Xiaoshen Palace?”The old beggar was shocked. Su Li’s words made his vital energy linger in his throat and he was almost choked. He slipped away eventually! “Little girl, you should remember... Nothing is imposs
“What’s this…”Su Li was astonished and wanted to take off the ring, but found that it seemed to be one part of her hand. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get rid of it.Qi Xianqing smiled at her in relief, as if he had completed a very important mission.“Stop, my apprentice, as long as you wear the ring, you will never take it off.”“Really?”Su Li looked up coldly, and put fingers together to be a knife to cut the ring finger. Qi Xianqing did not stop her.At the moment when the cut in the skin appeared, Su Li forced herself to stop immediately and her face changed dark thoroughly.She could saw the black lotus ring suddenly disappearing from the ring finger and then reappearing on the little finger after twinkling a few times on another four fingers.“The ring is integrated into you, and it is not always in the same place. It’s useless even you cut all fingers.”
“Wow… How handsome you are. You really make me excited...”It seemed that the charming voice could bewitch people. With a taut face, Ling Li forcibly suppressed the throbbing heart aroused by the tone. He stared at the graceful figure which suddenly appeared in front of him. Under the pale green light, a familiar but strange face came into sight.“You are…”Ling Li remembered this face, and said cautiously, “Su… Zipei?”The face of this woman looked exactly the same as that of Su Zipei who had been enslaved. Was it a coincidence? Or...“Uh... Su Zipei, I could remember a little...”The woman tilted her head with doubt, putting her fingernails across the cheek. Ling Li saw that her nails were inches long with an unusual luster of metal. Did human have such nails?When Ling Li felt cold, “Su Zipei” burst into laughter suddenly,“I remember it! Isn’t Su Zipei you mentioned the bloody
