Consort Yu shuddered and knelt at the jade stairs. Her knees hurt and felt a little numb and her forehead was pressed to the ground. She did not move an inch.
She had already been kneeling for several hours. If the two palace maids accompanying her were not holding her up, she would have already fainted.
"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you in."
Lead eunuch Liu Xi stood at the entrance with a smile on his face. However, to Consort Yu, his smile was cold and sinister.
"Yes!" She did not dare to say anything else. She stood up with some difficulty, holding the palace maid's hand. She stumbled for it was hard for her to even move.
"Your Highness, please hurry. His Majesty is waiting for you." Liu Xi seemed not to notice how difficult it was for her to move. He continued rushing her with a smile.
Consort Yu did not dare to dawdle. She leaned against the palace maids and they helped her to move forward
King Chu welcomed King Yan, Feng Yulei, at his manor today. King Chu being injured by an assassin was not really news. The news said that King Chu was badly injured but no one actually saw his injuries. The only information that was released was that the physicians were trying their best to treat him. When Feng Yulei arrived, Feng Yuxuan was lying on the large empty grounds in front of his courtyard, suntanning. Other than his pale complexion and haggardness, he looked fine. On the long soft couch, two large marble screens shielded him from the wind. The sun shone down warmly upon him and it added some life to his dark eyes. He reached out with his left hand and lifted the pitcher by his side with some difficulty. He poured Feng Yulei a cup of tea, his sleeves hiding the bulging veins of his hand. His hand felt so weak that he almost could not hold on any longer. His wound hurt but he kept a faint smile on his face. Putting down the pitcher,
"The servant said that he escaped with the little princess but he fell because he was in a hurry and left the little princess behind. A nobleman passed by on his horse carriage and the servant was very frightened and hid. He saw the man carrying the little princess onto the carriage and they left. The servant ran after them and saw the words, Fu General Manor, on the carriage..." Hua Xiangfeng said vaguely. One could not tell if he really knew or if he was postulating. Mo Huawen could hear a crash in his mind and his face turned pale immediately. If he had not always hidden his feelings well, he would have already stood up and questioned the man anxiously. He did not really know what happened to Luo Xia when she was little. However, from the little details later, he found out who she really was. He had never told anyone else about it. When he heard what Hua Xiangfeng said, he had a vague idea in his mind and his expression changed greatly. H
The Empress' Tianfeng Palace was in a mess. The Fifth Princess was trying to commit suicide! The news was blocked in the palace, for fear that it would spread to those with evil intentions. And then, the story might go like that: the Princess on the throne did such a thing just out of frustration, which would apparently bring disgrace on the royal family. What if it spread to the Emperor? No one would tell how furious the Emperor would be at the news. The Empress was in an agony about her daughter with a mixed feeling of love and anger. She trotted into the well-guarded main hall. "Xueyu, Xueyu, what's the matter?" The voice came in before the Empress arrived. Standing on the high stool, the Fifth Princess with her hair disheveled held a loop of white satin strap in her hands while the other end of the strap hung on the beams. Hearing the voice, she winked at Lingyue who was standing beside and thrust her feet to the stool to k
Late night. It was destined to be a sleepless night in the residence of the First Prince of Yan Kingdom. Firstly, the back garden where a lot of servants lived was burnt down in a fire. When Bai Yihao entered the residence, a few horses entered quietly from the back door, under the cover of the night sky. The dark clouds over the sky covered the bright moon, making the sky pitch black, where no stars could be seen. The tall and black walls reflect dim light from the moon. A brisk carriage came to the front door of the manor under the night sky. The coachman stepped forward and knocked on the door with the knocker. The gatekeeper was still awake from the commotion just now. Hence, he was annoyed at the sudden uninvited guest since he had to come out and open the door himself. As he opened the door, he saw that the coachman was dressed elegantly, with a classy aura surrounding him. He then knew that th
Fifth Princess regained composure from her previous wrath. Her two eyes fall on Bai Yichen like two poisonous snakes, and she became as mad and stubborn. From her reaction, Bai Yichen affirmed his belief that there was an affair between Fifth Princess and his fifth brother. He secretly commended Bai Yihao's plan of stealing his most worthy asset. If not for her high value, he would not have taken any interest in her. He would naturally not be interested in Bai Yihao's used woman if not for the great value that she would bring to him. When she entered just now, Fifth Princess' seductive act of taking off her coat, and the natural act of putting it on the hanger all signified the familiarity of such scandalous acts. He smirked and scorned, "How did Fifth Princess know that I left my manor? It is truly unusual for Fifth Princess to be so acutely aware of my whereabouts in the middle of the night! Even if I did leave the manor just now, I can still return! Fi
Actually, Emperor Zongwen did not want his Fifth Princess to marry Bai Yichen. She had been by his side for many years and was the daughter of the Empress, which naturally meant that she should be used to maximize the interest of herself and the imperial family. If she was to marry, she should definitely marry Bai Yihao, the Crown Prince. The two families were relatives, to begin with, and the marriage between two cousins would naturally strengthen the relations between the two families. When the next Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom was born, his bloodline would be closer to the Qin Kingdom, greatly benefiting the Qin Kingdom. However, it seemed that only he was interested in this matter. His sister, who was born from a different mother, never requested for her son to marry the Princess of Qin Kingdom. However, she did send in a letter requesting the First Prince to marry Fifth Princess instead. Emperor Zongwen knew that something was amiss and that this matter was probabl
Many expressed interest in the marriage between Mo manor and Duke Zhenguo's manor. The matter between these two had been a result of many twists and turns, making it a great interest to many bystanders who were here just to see this laughing stock, judging the two parties. Nobody thought positively of this marriage as they decided that it was a facade to save the face of the two families. It was rumored that the son of Duke Zhenguo's manor had always been interested in adding concubines to his harem, and did not seem genuinely interested in a marriage. Obediently, Mo Xuemin entered the marriage sedan, bowing respectfully to Xu Yan and Mo Huawen before. Holding onto Xu Yan's hand, she said farewell to her mother affectionately in a tearful tone. To those ignorant of her family situation, they would believe that Xu Yan was marrying her birth daughter away. Dressed in red, Sima Lingyun could be considered to be handsome. However, he could barely force out a
Shuangyun Court was the place that Sima Lingyun prepared specially for Yun Yiqiu. The name of the court could tell what it meant. In Sima Lingyun's arms, Yun Yiqiu frowned slightly and looked a little uncomfortable. Sima Lingyun rubbed her belly gently and coaxed, "Qiu'er, are you feeling well now? Is it still hurt?" "Cousin, I'm okay. I just walked so fast that I got a pain in my belly." Yun Yiqiu nestled against Sima Lingyun's chest and answered softly. She held Sima Lingyun's hands and said sadly with crystal eyes, "Cousin, you should go to see your wife, and don't let her find you here with me..." Yun Yiqiu would never forget that b**ch who dared to have a tryst with cousin. That slut had entangled cousin into a perplex relationship before marrying cousin, and now she did marry her cousin and tried to suppress me as the legal wife. Thinking about how arrogant the woman used to be, Yu Yiqiu would not let cousin leave tonight, and a glint
