How could that do?
Cheng Xiaoxiao contemplated swiftly.
She had gone out all day without leaving a word for Wan Xia. Wan Xia was probably worried sick looking for her.
It wasn’t Cheng Xiaoxiao’s style to make her friends worry!
She had to find the chance to sneak out.
She moved towards the window as she mulled.
Chu Yunshen turned to see the cat running swiftly to the window and attempting to jump. He angrily laughed as he scooped her into his arms.
Oh no! He caught her trying to run! She failed to escape!
She had to try again.
Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was caught red-handed, she obediently let him bathe her.
Wan Xia certainly read her mind.
Even though she was unable to look for Wan Xia, Wan Xia came over to tell Chu Yunshen she had lost the cat.
Chu Yunshen was changing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s clothes when Xiaowu came in to tell Ch
The sexy ghosts’ eyes lit up when they heard what Cheng Xiaoxiao said. However, they remained wary of Cheng Xiaoxiao and said skeptically, “Are you for real?”“That goes without saying! Have I ever lied?” Cheng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes angrily. The sexy ghosts looked at each other. In the end, their leader looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao timidly as she said, “We are from Qinhuai. We started learning Qinhuai music since young. Now that our bodies are long gone, and only our spirits linger on this earth, our only wish is to perform ‘Qinhuai Scenery’ together to commemorate our friendship.”Since that was an easy request, Cheng Xiaoxiao readily agreed.Fortunately, the sexy ghosts were not picky about their audience and didn’t care if it was a cat or a human. After getting ready, they circled Cheng Xiaoxiao and bowed before they performed passionately.As the pipa played, the song came to an end.
“Great.” Chu Jinshuo straightened out a little wrinkle in his robe nonchalantly. “It must be hard on you to help me and take care of your mother!”Chu Jinshuo suddenly raised his head and sighed, “I can’t help remembering how loyal you are just thinking about this!”Chu Jinshuo sudden calmness sounded ambiguous, so Su Ming didn’t know for certain whether he was commending him or implying otherwise. Since Su Ming was unsure what Chu Jinshuo meant, he didn’t dare to speak. Chu Jinshuo retrieved a small high-quality jade buddha from his sleeve and laughed without inhibition. “I got my hands on this baby recently. Why don’t you take a look at it?”Su Ming’s expression instantly looked worried as he said in his heart, “Oh no.”On the day he was made the deputy minister of the ministry of revenue, he obtained the jade buddha from the temple for his mother’s health and safety. Why was it in the ei
“Master, Prince Xuan is here…” Xiaowu wanted to explain more, but Chu Yunshen interrupted sternly. “I can see that.” Chu Yunshen glanced at them and said, “I told you no guests today.”Xiaowu immediately knelt and wanted to acknowledge his mistake. “Brother Yunshen, I followed him in, so it’s not his fault,” interrupted Chu Hongyi anxiously. Chu Yunshen couldn’t be bothered to even look at him. Instead, he glanced at Xiaowu. “25 paddles from the punishment officer!”“Yes, master,” said Xiaowu readily before he quickly went to receive punishment. Only Chu Hongyi and Chu Yunshen were left in the room. Chu Hongyi came closer to Chu Yunshen with a mysterious look on his face. “Brother Yunshen, is the cat around?”The moment Chu Hongyi asked about Cheng Xiaoxiao, Chu Yunshen felt angry. Sure enough, Chu Hongyi was up to no good and still coveted his cat. “She’s not h
Chu Yunshen woke up early and headed to the justice department. Wan Xia did a good job taking care of Cheng Xiaoxiao, and Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t make trouble while she was with her, so Chu Yunshen sent Cheng Xiaoxiao to Wan Xia after dressing her. Cheng Xiaoxiao darted to the rockery when Wan Xia quietly let her go play. Chu Hongyi was already there waiting for her after climbing the wall. Indeed, they were going to discuss what to do about imperial consort Zhao today. Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was only able to meow and gesture, Chu Hongyi couldn’t understand a word she was saying. “Hear my order, jade pendant, and open my eyes!” Cheng Xiaoxiao crumpled her face sadly, “Doudou, what should I do? Any ideas?”Doudou wagged his head as he suggested, “I could have killed him! Wouldn’t you be able to communicate once he becomes a ghost?”Cheng Xiaoxiao went speechless. She felt like
“Are you afraid of me?” Imperial consort Su gestured nonchalantly. Nanny Liu dragged the young palace maid over and pressed her head on the shiny marble ground. “No, Your… Your Grace…” The palace maid spoke with great difficulty. However, Nanny Liu quickly covered her mouth and stifled her words. The palace maid stopped breathing after struggling briefly. Imperial consort Su told Nanny Liu to take care of the maid without even opening her eyes. “Leave no clues behind.”“Yes, Your Grace.” Nanny Liu dragged the young palace maid out of Shufang palace effortlessly. The marble floor was mopped a few times even though it was so clean that reflections could be seen while a threatening glow radiated from it. Chu Hongyi spent a few days acting sick and had just passed out in front of all the maids and servants at Jinxiu Palace. Regardless of how the imperial physicians examined him, he failed t
No way!She couldn’t let anything happen to imperial consort Zhao!If anything befell imperial consort Zhao, what would happen to Prince Qing?They would be done for!Lots of images flashed through Wet Nurse Zhao’s head. They had done so many deeds all these years. Wet Nurse Zhao swiftly took the talisman used to control the altar from imperial consort Zhao and pasted it on herself. She hastily slapped herself twice hard before she knelt on the ground in front of imperial consort Zhao and implored loudly, “Forgive me! I deserve a thousand deaths!”“What are you doing?”Imperial consort Zhao wanted to pull Wet Nurse Zhao up after she slapped herself. Just as her hands were about to reach Wet Nurse Zhao, Wet Nurse Zhao squeezed imperial consort Zhao’s hand hard. Imperial consort Zhao swiftly realized what Wet Nurse Zhao was trying to do. “How dare you h
“I singlehandedly set up the altar and manipulated it. Her Grace simply thought I was praying for Prince Xuan. She only realized I was lying when she caught me performing dark magic today.”For time immemorial, an emperor’s wrath knew no bounds.It was forbidden for dark magic to be performed in the palace to begin with, so it was even more unpardonable to use it to hurt a prince. Imperial consort Zhao sadly smiled as she raised her head to look at Chu Hongzhen and choked, “I’m sure it was just a moment’s folly on Wet Nurse Zhao’s part. I was trying to convince her to stop when Your Highness came in. Your Highness, please…” She held her forehead mid-sentence and looked at the emperor pitifully as though she was innocent. Imperial consort Zhao looked absolutely miserable and frail with her eyes red.Imperial consort Su couldn’t help feeling disgusted when she saw how pretentious imperial consort Zhao was
Everyone in the palace learned of this news the next day. Chu Hongzhen’s orders arrived at Weiyang Palace along with all kinds of gifts such as exotic treasure, fabric, and Chinese herbs. Imperial consort Su told Nanny Liu to give Yuan Qing a huge gift and congratulated her before leaving. All the maids and servants were dismissed, leaving only imperial consort Su in the hall. She touched the gifts with a smile on her face. The gold hairpin in her hair gently swayed with every step to sparkle brightly and made her look captivating. Cheng Xiaoxiao and Chu Hongyi made a great team when they fought imperial consort Zhao.Chu Hongyi certainly felt that way. He even decided that Cheng Xiaoxiao was his best friend and only second to his fourth older brother. Cheng Xiaoxiao grudgingly accepted Chu Hongyi as her partner in crime. Now that everything was over, Cheng Xiaoxiao went h
