Chu Yunshen glanced at Chu Yelin before he retrieved the token from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing quickly handed the token to the emperor along with the conspirators’ name list that Chu Yunshen got Xiaowu and the secret guard to investigate.
Chu Yunshen could sense that Chu Yelin was not pretending when he looked at the token hopefully as though it could save him from this predicament.
Instead, there was something amiss with Chu Jinshuo’s expression and his long and narrow eyes were filled with intense excitement.
He kept looking at the token as Chu Yunshen handed it over with his eyes glinting imperceptibly.
Now that Chu Yunshen had witnessed Chu Yelin and Chu Jinshuo’s reactions, he was even more certain in his heart.
Just as he expected, Chu Hongzhen turned to look at the seventh prince kneeling on the ground after he looked at the token.
Chu Yunshen continued, “I have a
Chu Yelin felt as though every word Chu Hongzhen uttered struck him hard as he knelt on the ground and was powerless to defend himself. “Father, I was framed! Those are complete lies!”“Do you mean to say they are in cahoots and planted evidence to frame you?” Since Liu Yuanyi knew the deed was almost done, he continued fanning fire.“Your Majesty, His Highness also gave me a name list containing names of rich merchants. County Magistrate Chen, Sir Su, and I all possess a copy. He sent assassins to kill County Magistrate Chen after he surrendered the name list to Prince Jing!” “Yunshen, check if his name list is authentic.”Despite knowing the documents were authentic, Chu Yunshen took Su Ming and Liu Yuanyi’s copies and compared them to his copy before handing them to Yuan Qing.“Father, I confirm that all copies are authentic.”Chu Yelin stared daggers at Chu Yunshen, but C
Xiaowu hurriedly helped Chu Yunshen disrobe after they arrived home. After taking off each layer of Chu Yunshen’s garments, he saw the bandages completely soaked with blood. Dried blood had caked all over the garments, so they remained stuck fast to Chu Yunshen. Xiaowu could only dampen the bandages with medicated wine before slowly peeling them off and applying medication and re-bandaging them. Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly craned her head out and happened to see Chu Yunshen’s back. She saw a lot of blood on the bandages Xiaowu had just removed from Chu Yunshen, so she knew his wounds must have opened.It felt painful just watching Xiaowu pour medicated wine on the wounds and Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help cringing. However, Chu Yunshen didn't utter a word or even frown. He was always getting into trouble!Cheng Xiaoxiao was very displeased at how careless Chu Yunshen was with his condition, so
Wan Xia tightened her grip on the embroidery frame. The fabric went a little out of shape from the tugging.“Since you pay no attention to worldly affairs, you might not have noticed this. In my opinion, His Highness seems to treat the lion cat more like his lover.” Xiao Yue analyzed things mysteriously. She failed to notice Wan Xia stabbing herself on the index finger when she accidentally pressed the needle too hard and blood instantly oozed from it.Wan Xia’s beautiful face lost its usual gentleness and warmth. Was he in love with the cat?Very well.An undercurrent swiftly swept in her heart as she lowered her eyes to conceal the murderous look in them.Xiao Yue didn't know Wan Xia’s true identity and kept thinking she was the most kindhearted soul on earth. She thought Wan Xia was feeling sad from hearing what she had just said.“Oh no! You are hurt. Let me get some ointmen
Cheng Xiaoxiao adored being served by a gorgeous man like Chu Yunshen, but she did not like the idea of not being able to thoroughly enjoy the man.Since she was unable to flirt with the stunning man, it wasn’t a bad idea to hug and kiss her girlfriend.Chu Yunshen usually didn't allow women to come close to him, but he unprecedentedly made an exception today.This was simply strange!Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care and had no time to think about it as she looked out the door earnestly. Before long, a young woman dressed in a pink outfit and a white shawl walked in gracefully.“Greetings, Your Highness.”Wan Xia lowered her head slightly with the pearls on her earrings swaying gracefully making Cheng Xiaoxiao’s heart tingle.Wan Xia was beautiful. Cheng Xiaoxiao kept looking at Wan Xia as Wan Xia cast a furtive glance at her. She almost wanted to burst out
Chu Yunshen would have doubts if Wan Xia told Chu Yunshen directly. If Wan Xia told Chu Yunshen she knew the cat, Chu Yunshen would learn that she snuck out to play. Wan Xia was so thoughtful! Also, Chu Yunshen always looked antisocial. How could Wan Xia possibly fall for him?In any case, Chu Yunshen always ignored women who admired him, so there was no need for her to get worried.After Cheng Xiaoxiao thought things through, her mood suddenly lifted.Wan Xia noticed how much warmer the cat was to her and smiled when Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t looking. The sky gradually turned dark, the room had gone completely quiet and not a sound could be heard. Xiao Yue had gone off to skive somewhere. She certainly led an easier life than her mistress.Although Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t like to be served by maids, she could not stand how lazy Xiao Yue was.Wan Xia had a
Wan Xia finally had the time the sit by the table and massage her shoulders.Xiao Yue ran over to help massage Wan Xia.“Miss, His Highness’ women are so annoying!”“Xiao Yue, watch your tongue.”Wan Xia was genuinely exhausted, so she couldn't help moaning when Xiao Yue massaged her. However, she continued to speak sternly.“I was simply speaking the truth! Why wouldn't you let me go on?”Xiao Yue carefully rubbed Wan Xia’s shoulders and carefully attended to the stiff areas. Wan Xia felt so good that she stopped talking.This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao stood on the same side as Xiao Yue.Since she could not talk, she could only hope for Xiao Yue to say more on her behalf.“Miss, all those women are just jealous of you in my opinion.”“Why should they be jealous of me?”Wan Xia clearly did not realize the high status she had. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn
Cheng Xiaoxiao opened her eyes a few more times to make herself wake up.The moment she saw the large dark bed, she realized it was genuinely Chu Yunshen’s room.Why was she back here?Then what about Wan Xia?Cheng Xiaoxiao could faintly hear voices outside, so she gestured for the baby bird to stay quiet while she pushed against it as she gradually wriggled towards the edge of the bed. THUD.“Meow…"Cheng Xiaoxiao fell so hard that it felt as though her fractures had split open again.Did they have to make the bed so high?Cheng Xiaoxiao was lying prone on the ground in agony when she smelled a fragrance before a pair of hands carried her off the ground. “Did you get hurt?”A gentle concerned voice came from overhead.Wan Xia?What was going on?Wan Xia carried Cheng Xiaoxiao into the outer ro
Wind gusted as the commotion on the mountain quickly disappeared without a trace. The mountaintop promptly fell into silence.Everything that transpired earlier seemed like nothing but an incredible illusion.Darkness hovered over the mountain making the mountain tops dark and brimming with mystery and threat.Life went on as per normal as though nothing had ever happened.At Prince Jing’s residence, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt she was having the time of her life. Chu Yunshen was grounded for a month, so he hung out with her at home every single day while Wan Xia came at dawn and carefully took care of everything for Cheng Xiaoxiao.Cheng Xiaoxiao led an idyllic life without having to lift a finger to do anything. She spent her time looking at the gorgeous Chu Yunshen, playing with Wan Xia and the baby bird. Things couldn’t get any more relaxing for her. Since she had mostly recovered,
