The cry absolutely attracted the attention of all the people present, who unconsciously stared at the entrance of the palace. Clenching her fingernail guard, Empress Chen felt that her heart was pinched.
There was a teenage boy in blue at the entrance of the palace. With his hair half down, he looked at about the age of 15 or 16. He was delicate with red lips and white teeth. Despite his slim figure, the determination and resolution in his eyes revealed the maturity and tenacity beyond his age.
"My greetings, Your Majesty, Her Majesty, and Queen Mother," Sima Qiu stood at the center of the palace. Years of living in the Imperial Mausoleum had left him a peaceful and quiet temperament.
Today was the 60th birthday of Queen Mother, so the atmosphere was festive. In addition, many senior officials led by Minister Liu had mentioned the goodness and sensibility of the Seventh Prince multiple times, making the emperor remember his love for the son. Th
"Nonsense," Imperial Concubine Yun stood out firstly, looking extremely angry, "Today is the 60th birthday of Queen Mother. This is her birthday banquet. The guests here are all royal relatives and senior officials. How can there be any evil spirit? You, lying charlatan, are you taking the chance to make trouble?""No, no," Guo Shidong shook his head indifferently with a determined look, "I'm reporting according to what I have seen through my Inner Eye. I am not lying."While Guo Shidong shook his head, Queen Mother and the emperor looked solemn. After all, Gui Lingzi's fame was so big. If the one right before them was really Gui Lingzi's best student, his ability should not be underestimated. What's more, he was found by Prince Ray, so he was more or less reliable.Then the Grand Prince, Sima Ruo, said, "Everyone can talk at random. Before you speak, have you ever considered the consequence?""That's right," Princess Saichun next
After Emperor Zhaoxuan issued orders, everyone seemed relieved but also more worried. Qin Yunuan frowned, and she knew clearly about what Emperor Zhaoxuan planned to do. Undoubtedly, his plan was the best one, because it could not only save lives of officials and nobles but also caused no other trouble. People here all had heard what Guo Shidong said, so they wouldn't bother to keep it as a secret.But...This meant Emperor Zhaoxuan was putting the lives of average people in the Royal City at risk. If Guo Shidong was right about his prediction, countless innocent people would lose their family or die. However, it was not easy to order all residents to leave the Royal City at midnight."Third Young Madam, take care of yourself." Princess Ning was the happiest person after hearing that Qin Yunuan had already been pregnant for one and half a month. She even sent Qingzhu, her close servant girl, to serve Qin Yunuan in order to ensure Qin Yunuan was
Sun Miaoyang frowned. He checked Qin Yunuan's expression repeatedly and asked Qin Yunuan to show him her tongue. After a careful inspection, he said sincerely, "Girl, did you recently eat something that you shouldn't?"Qin Yunuan shook her head. Seeing Sun Miaoyang looking troubled, she said openly, "Doctor Sun, just tell me what's wrong.""If you didn't eat anything by mistake, then someone must have drugged you." Sun Miaoyang nodded. "Any normal doctor could tell that your pulse shows a sign of pregnancy. However, it's just part of it. Let me put it this way. Five percent of your pulse is weak. Apparently, you're drugged with agrimony.""Agrimony?" Qin Yunuan asked in confusion, "What's that?""Agrimony is a precious herb from the remote areas of West Xia. Few people know about it, fewer could get hold of it. The local women use this herb on skincare. Although it has the effect of maintaining youth and beauty, it has some side ef
"Come in." Emperor Zhaoxuan frowned. Actually, Emperor Zhaoxuan felt so embarrassed about the suggestion proposed by Guo Shidong. His child had been spoiled since childhood. If his child was expelled out of Qi, he must be in deadly danger.At this moment, Qin Yunuan came in slowly. In the eyes of Sima Ray, she was like a small delicate frightened bird, which attracted others to give much love."Your Majesty, her Majesty." The Queen Mother was not present. She got frightened and had a rest in her chamber.Qin Yunuan glanced at Sima Qiu who was kneeling beside her. She could clearly see the fingerprints on his face, and then she said in a grave voice, "I have something to show you, your majesty."The eunuch passed the handkerchief which was held by Qin Yunuan to the emperor at once. Something inside was tightly wrapped, and it was hard to guess what it is inside.Emperor Zhaoxuan glimpsed at it and just waved his hands.
It was Qin Yunuan who killed his mother, made his beloved sister marry the double-dealer Prince Ray and forced him to play dead and go incognito with the mask. And now, she had driven him into a corner. The hatred would kill him if he did not avenge himself on her and hack her to pieces.Qin Linfeng took out two poisoned darts hidden in the sleeve and shot at Qin Yunuan right away. Leng Wu and Leng Shuang took actions at once and shielded the darts easily. They did not find that there was another dart in Qin Linfeng's sleeve until they saw the sinister smile on his face, which showed that he cared little about life or death. Missing the chance, they could do nothing but watch the dart shooting at Qin Yunuan.However, after a crack, the one who fell down to the ground was Qin Linfeng, the third dart inserted right into his chest, the spot where his heart was.Outside the hall stood Leng Changxi, who appeared quietly in a set of fluttering white
"You have never minced your words. Speak straightly," Qin Yunuan looked steadily forward without glancing at other sides.Maner cringed, "I don't understand. Now that Doctor Sun has said Third Young Madam is having a fake pregnancy, why don't you blame Grand Young Master, Guo Shidong, for the responsibility when you are facing the emperor? Third Young Madam, now your pulse condition implies your pregnancy which is not real. What will happen to you after ten months?""Are you worrying that if I miss the best opportunity to speak out the truth, more discussion will be aroused when it is revealed later?" Qin Yunuan hit the nail on the head.Maner nodded. Qin Yunuan sighed deeply, "It's because I know that the one who drugged me with agrimony is not Qin Linfeng at all." It's an easy conclusion to draw with careful thinking. Since Qin Linfeng worked for Prince Ray, his aim must be to remove obstacles for Prince Ray to be the crown price like the Gra
"How could it be?" Ruan Ruyi shirked orally, but her facial expression became quite unnatural. Her hands were wringing the handkerchief under the sleeves, looking rather nervous, "Third Sister-in-law, didn't you know that married women should not take that incense with her?""Oh," Qin Yunuan glanced at Ruan Ruyi. She was quite sure that the one who put musk in her house belonged to Tang and Ruan Ruyi. However, seeing that Ruan Ruyi felt nervous about little things, she was no more than an accessory criminal. Xie Ruying was only a helper. Qin Yunuan smiled at Ruan Ruyi, "Now I know. Thank you for your reminding. Now that I am pregnant, when I'm back, I will be very careful and examine everywhere.""Pregnant?" Ruan Ruyi was so surprised that she forgot about the manner and caught Qin Yunuan's sleeve directly, "Are you pregnant?" It was impossible! With so much musk, how could she be pregnant?"Yes," Qin Yunuan replied happily, "Yesterday, the roy
It was exactly one month and a half!Hearing this, Concubine Tang became more excited and said, "Ah, what a coincidence! Third Young Madam, if this was true, wasn't your baby a bastard? How could our family stand the existence of a bastard?" Then, she covered her mouth with the handkerchief immediately, rolled her eyes and said in a nifty voice, "Oh! What did I say! Third Young Madam, please forgive me if I said something offensive.""It's all fine." Qin Yunuan remained calm and even wore a light smile. "It's better for us to talk about this openly and clearly so that I can be proved innocent. Now, to the face of Consort Cao, let's make it clear." While speaking, Qin Yunuan put her hand on her belly which was still flat. "I know clearly who my baby's father is, and so do you." Qin Yunuan looked at Li Long who knelt down and said. "You said that I had an affair with you, but you cannot just prove this with a wintersweet-shaped knot, which can be found everyw
