In the Xiao Mansion, white mourning silks were seen everywhere and maidservants and lad servants wailed loudly. Xiao Jingran sat in the hall, he stroked the coffin which was made of precious Phoebe zhennan wood. His face had a darkened expression. Huanxi, your soul in heaven must watch carefully and see how I avenged you!
Shen Ninghua sat on the Qinyang building, she looked in the direction of the Xiao family. Her eyes were as deep as the sea.
When Chu Junyi came upstairs, he saw Shen Ninghua who was in plain clothes and quietly leaning against the bedside. Her expression was calm and distant, making people feel pity for her at a glance. He said, "Ninghua, the sun is quite scorching today, be careful not to get burned."
Shen Ninghua turned around and greeted him, "So you've come here."
Chu Junyi walked to the bedside, and he looked at the Xiao Mansion, which was full of people in white mourning dresses. He nodded and closed the
The Xiao family's funeral procession stopped before Shen Ninghua's Princess Mansion, throwing paper money into the air while crying aloud. Fifteen minutes elapsed, but the procession still had no intention of leaving. Shen Ninghua stood at the window, she watched the paper money which flew over the wall and fell into the courtyard. A trace of chill flashed across her eyes. Bai Ruo stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, why is the Xiao family still daring to be so ostentatious at this moment? How could His Majesty tolerate him?" Shen Ninghua chuckled gently. "The Xiao family has a good reputation, and its prestige among the people is extremely high. Moreover, it takes sole control over the army. Xiao Jingran alone controls hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northwest. So what can His Majesty do even if he can't tolerate Xiao Jingran? If he wants to stabilize the country, he has to protect the Xiao family." "However, I think
In Chengqian Hall, Baili Qingcang rubbed his forehead with his hand. His expression was ashen and furious. He fixed his eyes on a group of officials who were kneeling in the middle of the Hall."Great, this is really great! One of you is a first rank official in the court while the other holds the title Princess Zhaohua which I personally conferred. How could you fight against each other in public? More seriously, many civilians were affected. Have you any respect to the laws of the court and me?""Your Majesty, please calm down.""I can't calm down now! Xiao Jingran, you gave a grand funeral for Xiao Huanxi. I thought that it was a sad thing for you, a father, to bid farewell to your daughter, so I would not pursue this matter. However, how come that your funeral procession made a detour of two extra streets and appeared in front of the mansion of Princess Zhaohua?"Xiao Jingran was kneeling on the ground. When he raised his head
Shen Ninghua quietly lowered her head and turned silent. A very indifferent expression appeared on her face.Baili Qingcang noticed the expression on her face. A sense of anger was ignited and started to grow in his heart. Upon thinking of the fact that Ninghua, a girl keeping her mansion alone, was disturbed or even used by others even when she was holding a ritual for her mother, he couldn't help but feel extremely angry.With so much evidence in front of him, Baili Qingcang had already drawn a conclusion in his mind. Xiao Jingran knew that Shen Ninghua would hold a ritual. Then he deliberately took the funeral as an excuse to disturb the ritual. Meanwhile, he also took advantage of the lives of innocent people to do harm to Shen Ninghua.If Ninghua hadn't reacted quickly and saved the people, then the number of casualties would have exceeded a hundred. Once hundreds of lives were lost, he would have to punish her no matter how much he doted
The next day was sunny, and the sun was high in the sky. At the camp, flags were flapping loudly, and horses stroke hard on the ground, making the sound of clip clop.Baili Qingcang rode a tall, pure black steed. His face was full of joy. "Today, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Show your skills. I will heavily reward the one who is the bravest.""Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone raised their bows and arrows and cheered loudly, especially the princes. They were so full of confidence that even the horses they rode were getting restless on the spot.Baili Qingcang fitted an arrow to his bow, and an expression of deep concentration appeared in his eyes. He drew the arrow till it bent into the shape of a full moon, and then shot the first arrow of this hunting party."Great!" the sound of congratulations burst out nearby. Not long after, royal guards brought around the deer shot by Baili Qingcang. "Your Majesty is really wi
Shen Ninghua tightly gripped the gold needle in her hand, feeling her vision becoming more and more blurry. "Second Prince, you just said you wanted to be my brother.""Yes, I just said that. I wanted to be your brother a moment ago, but it doesn't mean I still want to be your brother at this moment." Baili Jinchuan seemed to be enjoying Shen Ninghua's helpless struggling in his arms. His face that was always cold carried a satisfied smile as he continuously brushed past Shen Ninghua's face with his fingers. "Even if you want to have me in this method, once I regain my freedom, I will immediately commit suicide. Then you can just face a lonely grave." Shen Ninghua's eyes were filled with determination as she said firmly.Baili Jinchuan sneered. He lowered his head and approached Shen Ninghua's neck. He took a deep breath, "Ninghua, do you think I don't understand you at all?"Shen Ninghua tightened her grip on the needle and, taki
The Governor of Capital Guards said smilingly, "Your Highness, don't worry. I've come to temporarily detain you on the orders of His Majesty. Please follow me to see His Majesty now. Please forgive me for my rudeness, Your Highness!"Baili Jinze suddenly waved his arm to get away from the guard escorting him from behind, his eyes filled with impatience. "Lord Governor of Capital Guards, you are of such impressive power."The Governor of Capital Guards remained a smile. He lowered his head and cupped his hands, saying, "I don't dare to be praised by you like that, Your Highness. Please come with me.""I can walk by myself."Baili Jinze slowly walked towards Baili Qingcang's tent. However, he was pondering over various thoughts on his mind. Father Emperor would not look for him for no reason. This time, there was definitely something related to him, and he must have gotten deeply involved.When the hunt started this morn
Baili Qingcang stood up abruptly, his eyebrows furrowed tightly with deep traces. "What's going on?""Your Majesty, the guards guarding the entrance of the tent heard the noise in the room and went to check. They found that Fifth Prince was lying motionlessly on the bed with medicine bottles scattered around him.""I'll go and take a look!"Shen Ninghua followed behind Baili Qingcang and thought in her heart that Baili Jinze cherished his life very much, but unexpectedly he chose to commit suicide. Looked like he was scheming for something big.Baili Qingcang strode into the tent, where Doctor Chen had been treating Fifth Prince inside."Your Majesty, His Highness is fine. You should take care of yourself and don't worry too much."Baili Qingcang's expression relaxed slightly and he asked, "Chen Yun, what happened to him?"Chen Yun's expression was slightly subtle. After a pause, he said, "Rep
Thinking about the jade pendant incident that he had investigated earlier, Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly. A trace of unclear expression flashed through his eyes. Could there really be a connection between the owner of Panlong Villa and his fifth son?"Summon him in."Baili Jinze's face was pale. When he woke up on his bed, he was stunned. He was lying in bed thinking about something when he unknowingly fell asleep. When he woke up again, a whole day had passed. Moreover, there was a pack of wolves attacking the camp just during this period of time. It was simply unreasonable to call it a coincidence.He raised his eyes and looked around in the tent. When his gaze fell on Chu Junyi, he gritted his teeth secretly. Shen Ninghua alone was already very difficult for him to deal with. He didn't expect that Chu Junyi wasn't easy to tackle either. Who knew how much trouble they would cause in the court in the future when the two of them bec
Bu Yonghan looked up, without the slightest bit of pride of being a princess in her eyes, there was only the fear and hatred that haunted her.Shen Ninghua looked at her with a cool expression, "It really didn't occur to me that our meeting again would be like this."Bu Yonghan sneered, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, I'll do as I please if I want to kill you.""Is that so? Listen to your tone as if you are not afraid of death, but your eyes tell this palace that you are afraid.""Oh, I would be afraid of you?"Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, a cold smile flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, after all, you're also Prince De's rightful consort, I'll have someone send you back, and Tai Consort Qi and Prince De will naturally settle you down properly."Thinking of the desperate scene of being locked inside the empty room before, Bu Yonghan's body shuddered violently, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back!""It'
The Daan Kingdom's army garrison was quiet, and Slaughter Shadow, wrapped in black clothing, felt his way toward the garrison's source of drinking water.This time, the place where the army of Daan Kingdom is stationed is not far away is a river, the whole army usually water, are taken from the river, the soldiers guarding the river patrol day and night to protect the river safety, for fear that someone in the water to do something.At this time, the soldiers guarding the river did not realize in the slightest that someone had already taken advantage of the night and the cover of the grass to touch the river. Because he was worried that killing these guards would arouse the suspicion of the Great An Kingdom, Tu Ying could only creep into the grass and quietly open the box he was holding in his arms.The jade bottle emitted an ethereal blue light, and a hint of relief flashed through Tu Ying's eyes that had always been devoid of fluctuations. As long as he helped th
How could Bu Linglong not expect that she would see Shen Ninghua again at this time. At this time, she was in a sorry state, bound by ropes around her wrists, weakly kneeling on the ground, her eyes gripped with blackness. Knowing that at this time, she was completely without any advantage or credentials, she still tried hard to open her eyes wide and looked at Shen Ninghua who was sitting above her.Shen Ninghua came to the border city with Baili Junyi only yesterday, after a night's rest, her spirit recovered, because of her relaxed mood, the whole person seemed to be carrying a soft light in general, sitting up beautifully as if she didn't look like a real person, "Princess Linglong, I didn't expect that we'd meet again in such a way."Bu Linglong tilted her head and looked at her with an arrogant face, "Empress Mother, I also didn't expect that you would follow the Emperor to the border city."Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, "Is the princess's body alright?"
This personal expedition of Baili Junyi drew extra attention from the people of the entire Da An Country. In the nearly one year since he ascended to the throne, the Great An Country had experienced a lot of turmoil, but in the end, it had all come through unscathed. Nowadays, the emperor emphasizes pragmatic subjects, strictly combats corruption and bribery, and the official atmosphere of the entire Da An country is exceptionally clear.When the officials are clean, the lives of the people underneath will naturally be better. They treated Baili Junyi as a bright ruler, and now, this bright ruler is going to go on a military expedition, and with the Empress in tow, which is really heartbreaking.Many of the people who originally had little feeling for the Great Yue Country began to loathe them, believing that if it wasn't for them messing with the border, the Emperor and Empress Dowager wouldn't have had to put themselves in harm's way.Just as they were discussing
Baili Jun Yi dynasty announced that the future no longer consorts, the only queen of the harem one person, although the officials on the spot have different thoughts, but after repeated thought, they all tacitly choose to shut up and do not say anything.The emperor and the empress is happy, they do the subjects, or not what hope. Otherwise, think of those who jumped before the great officials down, and go to great lengths to let the emperor will be held in the election, and then, the election is not over, their official position is not, after that, implicated in the Palace of the daughter, even if it is the show girl is not also gray back to the Palace of the?They also sort of saw that the Emperor had no intention of bringing new people into the harem from the beginning.Originally, those courtiers dared to openly call the Emperor's bluff by virtue of their influence in the court, but now they have all been driven out of the court, and their fate is pathetic. The
Prince Yi stared wide-eyed, his eyes flashing with full shock, “How could the Tu Su family be related to the Great Yue State?" These ambassadors of theirs were locked up in the post house and were extremely misinformed on weekdays, and to this day, they still hadn't figured out the reason for the Tu Su family's overnight defeat.Baili Jun Yi hooked the corner of his lips, the two countries are once again at war at the border, and these messengers are no longer necessary to maintain the surface peace, he is even more lazy and he circled:"This matter I ordered to seal the mouth, Prince Yi naturally not clear, well, there is no more other things, you will step Linglong lead back, go back after a good sharpening of temperament, the next time a similar thing happens, I will not look at the face of the Great Vietnam lightly forgiven."Icy cold words were heard in his ears, shocking Prince Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Your Majesty, this king has taught his
Bu Linglong swept a glance at Xiao Bao, only to feel that this child was just as annoying as her mother, this was just a small age, and she was this vicious.At this point, she had completely forgotten that the reason why she had received this beating was entirely of her own making, and, for someone of her age to be reckoning with a three year old, she didn't know who the truly vicious one really was!Shen Ninghua's five senses were extremely sharp, sensing Bu Linglong's hidden anger and hatred, a cold light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, originally she didn't want to be concerned, but now she wanted to make things clear, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to let Xiao Bao have to bear a bad name at a young age?"Princess Linglong, is what Luo Yao said true?"Bu Linglong hurriedly defended, "Empress Mother, how could I have such thoughts, the reason why I stayed in the palace in the first place was because you invited me, and later on, it was even more so be
Within the palace, the palace examination began. Many officials pondered to wait until the end of the palace examination, must be written to submit a good chapter to the emperor, so that the emperor will be released from the palace daughters.For such a long time, they also sort of see that the Emperor said that he was starting a draft, but he did not mean to leave anyone in the harem.Today, half of the showgirls have been sent out of the palace. Most of them were implicated because of the fall of the previous officials, and not many of them are still in the palace today, and, moreover, all of them are the kind of family mediocre, even if they are in the palace, there is no hope of being favored.Moreover, some days ago, the eldest prince turned three years old, the emperor appointed the university scholar to enlighten him, looking at this situation is from a young age is going to treat the eldest prince as the depositary training. The eldest prince Baili Yong Che
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, also somewhat unable to find a clue, “The Tu Su family has existed for more than a hundred years, started in the former dynasty, and the words of the former dynasty ... does it mean that the Tu Su family had a relationship with the Great Yue State in the former dynasty? Even to the serious speculation, Tu Su family is the nail that the Great Yue State has planted on our side."Baili Junyi gazed in contemplation, "What you said is extremely possible, a family that has developed a bit too legendary, moreover, if the Tusu family has no other purpose, why would they be so eager to control the courtiers and make a name for themselves?"Shen Ninghua nodded, "If what we've guessed is true, then the mind of the Tu Su family is simply too terrifying."If not for Baili Junyi's deep affection for her, then the Tu Su family's plan to have Tu Su Qingli approach him could have succeeded. That kind of cold beauty of a woman, to him to give up their
