Gu Bixuan stood at the Gu residence’s gateway as she watched Prince Jing get onto his black horse outside the residence.
She lamented as she gazed at Prince Jing, disappearing into the distance.
Once upon a time, she had a crush on Prince Jing but knew she wasn’t good enough for him.
Now that Prince Jing was right before her, they were forever separated by death.
“Laifu, let’s go in.”
Gu Bixuan watched as Laifu helped Gu Ruoshan up. Then she floated to the other side to help support him by the arm.
Gu Ruoshan sensed a cold wind sweeping past him. Then he couldn’t help shuddering as he said, “Laifu, burn more joss paper for Xuan’er later.”
“Yes, Master,” said Laifu as he nodded.
The moment Gu Bixuan got up the steps in front of the doorway, a conversation emerged in her mind.
“Sir, I promise that the moment Prince Jing comes in, he’ll die without a doubt! Sir, te
“MEOW!”NO!WATCH OUT!Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the deep pit filled with swords pointing up with a threatening glow lying in front of Chu Yunshen. All it took was a single step before Chu Yunshen plunged into it!But Chu Yunshen looked down and saw the little fellow!That can’t be right!Hadn’t Xiaowu brought the little fellow back to the residence in her cage? How could she be here?”Chu Yunshen flicked his sword hand and plunged his sword straight at the lion cat. “MEOW!”Cheng Xiaoxiao was so terrified that she swiftly dodged to the side. Chu Yunshen was insane!She was trying to save him here. How could he hurt her?“Do you even know about how much I like the little fellow? Did you think I would let you off if you impersonated her?” asked Chu Yunshen as he hacked the lion cat with his sword again. Cheng Xiaoxi
Chu Yunshen handed Yueying to the servant beside him after he got back to his residence. Then he strode to Mu Bai’s room with Cheng Xiaoxiao in his arms. BAM!Chu Yunshen kicked the door open.“Hurry up, Mu Bai!”Mu Bai looked up from the study table in surprise as he asked, “Your Highness?”He put down the medical books he was reading and instantly retrieved his medical kit and got up from the table as he asked, “Did the little fellow get hurt?”Mu Bai glanced at the arrow wound on the lion cat’s paw and quickly retrieved Jinchuang medication from his medical kit. Then he asked Chu Yunshen worriedly as he applied the medication on the cat, “An arrow wound? Your Highness, did someone assassinate you? Are you hurt?”Chu Yunshen coldly smiled as he said, “All I did was investigate their correspondence to get them so worked up that they keep plotting against me!”“Your Highness, why
“Hmm?” responded Chu Yunshen. Although Chu Yunshen placed the book on the table, he kept stroking the lion cat in his arms as he asked lazily, “Who masterminded it?”“He said that a man with a black cloth covering his face ordered it, so he doesn’t know what he looks like. All he recalls is a jade pendant hanging from his chest. I already ordered the jade pendant to be drawn. Here, Your Highness!” said Xiaowu as he retrieved the drawing of the jade pendant from his chest. Chu Yunshen glanced at the jade pendant’s drawing and continued, “What have you learned of it?”“Jade pendants engraved with hornless dragons are very popular in the capital of late. All the youth from the rich families have one!” replied Xiaowu as he retrieved a jade pendant from his chest and handed it to Chu Yunshen, “I bought a similar one from a famous jade shop in the capital too.”Chu Yunshen took the jade pendant from him and narrowed his d
He Yuanbai’s eyes turned slightly duskier when he sensed the coldness in Chu Yunshen’s eyes. He quickly composed himself and continued with a smile on his face, “Your Highness, the morning before Deputy Minister Gu’s daughter was murdered on 26th February, I visited Young Master Di at home, but he wasn’t in. I waited for a long time, but he didn’t turn up. When I was leaving, I bumped into Young Master Di at the entrance as he was hurrying home. I recall there was a lot of mud and grass on his wheelchair and even asked him how he got into such a mess.”Although Chu Yunshen stroked the cat nonstop, his hand paused, and he raised his head to look at He Yuanbai standing below when he heard this. Mud and grass on his wheelchair?Would an average person notice this?He Yuanbai made eye contact with Chu Yunshen. Then Chu Yunshen veered his cold stare away and gestured for He Yuanbai to continue as he stroked
Prince Jing’s guard came to the justice department informing him that his son was involved in the murder of Deputy Minister Gu’s daughter today. Then he was told to return home and cooperate with the investigation. It was a bolt from the blue.Di Yangze’s head immediately burned up, and he almost fainted. “What have I done?”Di Yushu didn’t know why his father seemed so angry that he was about to swallow him alive. “Hurry up and confess!” bellowed Di Yangze as he lifted a chair beside him and hurled it at Di Yushu. He wanted to kill the brat!“No, Master!”A woman suddenly rushed into the room. Then she lunged towards Di Yushu as she hugged him and said, “Shu’er, my son! Master, you’ll have to kill us both if you want to kill him!”Xiaowu nimbly kicked the chair aside. If Young Master Di got struck by the chair, he would be fatally injured!He looked up at Di Yangz
Cheng Xiaoxiao remembered she and many of her close friends would visit the Qinglong temple whenever the cherry blossoms were in season. They would keep taking photos of the cherry blossoms as they walked and could do it from morning till night. But this was a thing of the distant past for her now. Since Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang kept delaying things, if she kept waiting in the form of a cat in this world, it was no different from being a real cat. “Little fellow, you sure are tough to please. His Highness specially came to Hanshan Temple when he heard the cherry blossoms had bloomed here,” said Xiaowu as he suddenly pushed Cheng Xiaoxiao. But Cheng Xiaoxiao hastily turned to scratch Xiaowu and hissed viciously. Then she darted into the cherry blossom forest. Xiaowu glanced at the scratch on his hand before staring at the empty spot. He suddenly sensed a headache coming on!“Little fel
Xiaowu retreated a step while prison guards swarmed up from behind him, and heated combat took place. The men in black were more highly skilled than most of the prison guards. Some prison guards survived while others perished. As many casualties lay sprawling on the ground, the men dressed in black seemed to be on the verge of breaking through their encirclement. SWISH SWISH! A few pebbles came shooting in from outside the temple. The pebbles hit the men in black just as they were about to escape the temple. “OOOH!”“AHHH!”Then the men in black fell from mid-air and came crashing down. In the blink of an eye, knives were placed by their necks as the prison guards shouted, “Don’t move!”The prison guards rushed over and instantly subdued the men in black. After they apprehended the men in black, some of the prison guards looked out of the temple quizzically,
“Sir He, how much longer are you going to keep acting? This man has already confessed,” said Xiaowu as he threw the man in black in front of He Yuanbai, “Why don’t you greet your master?”“I’m sorry, Sir!” said the man in black as he knelt before He Yuanbai with a thud. “Get away from me!” said He Yuanbai as he took a large step back. Then he turned to say coldly to the man in black, “Who instigated you to frame me?”“I’m sorry for failing you! I didn’t finish the mission you tasked me with! Prince Jing has already obtained evidence that you hired an assassin to kill Deputy Minister Gu’s daughter! We’re done for!” The man in black kowtowed He Yuanbai. Then he suddenly stood up to hurl his head towards a wall nearby as he said, “I can only atone myself with death!”“You can’t die just yet!” said Xiaowu as he swiftly grabbed the man by his shirt collar, “You are an important witness.”Then Xiaowu shoved th
