A bright-yellow figure was striding near from afar. Seeing this, Qin Yunuan raised her lips slightly but didn't struggle to free herself from the guard beside her. She wanted Emperor Zhaoxuan to witness what Imperial Concubine Yun had done.
Imperial Concubine Yun felt as if her heart were beaten by something. She hurried to come out of the painting hall to welcome the emperor.
"My greetings, Your Majesty."
"Humph," Emperor Zhaoxuan sneered. He entered the painting hall directly without permitting Imperial Concubine Yun to stand up. He sat at the front seat and stared at Imperial Concubine who kept curtseying until her legs were trembling. Then he waved his hands, "All right. Stand up."
Imperial Concubine strode in discreetly. The emperor cast a sidelong glance at Qin Yunuan who stood still. Imperial Concubine immediately said angrily, "You senseless servants! Let go of Infanta Ping and Fourth Miss Leng!"
Qin Yunuan res
The candles were lit, which turned the small space brighter than the day. Leng Changxi looked at the petite masked assassin in front of him indifferently. The two looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, the assassin turned her wrist, took out another dagger behind her back and stabbed it towards the nearest shadow guard. Because of Leng Changxi’s order to capture her alive, and the special identity of the assassin, the shadow guards were quite conservative with their moves.“Attack her injured right hand.” Leng Changxi ordered calmly. Immediately, Leng Wu and Heiying attacked her at the same time and easily captured her and took her to Leng Changxi within a moment.“Remove her mask.” Leng Changxi ordered expressionlessly.Even though the assassin wanted to struggle, she couldn’t move with both hands tied up. When the mask fell to the ground, everyone gasped in great shock. It was Princess Ning indeed. No one could have imagined that Pri
Ruined?Qin Yunuan frowned slightly but was not about to enter. She just heard the persuasion from Sun Miaoyang, and then Leng Suxin said, "Yes! Disabled. I am disabled all the time."And then Qin Yunuan heard the sound of broking porcelains. Sun Miaoyang sighed disappointedly and went out of the room. He saw Qin Yunuan, who had been standing outside all the time, and then shook his head, "Don't save her. She abandons herself." And then he left straightly."Since you come here, come in. I don't mind there is another person who can see me in a mess." Leng Suxin seemed to have noticed Qin Yunuan came here.Qin Yunuan indicated Ting Xue and Maner to stay outside and then entered the room alone. She saw the fragments of porcelains and Leng Suxin leaning against the window, who looked outside with miserable eyes. The cold north wind blew into the room through the curtain."I can’t marry at West Xia," Leng Suxin now still wo
Those words were like a tossed stone into a pool, which raised a thousand ripples in no time. Leng Changxuan darted to Leng Suxin right away when he heard that and clutched her neck. "Why? She is your sister-in-law, and the baby is your nephew! How could you be so cruel?" he asked."Stop him, Yuanyang! He dared to start the fight!" Old Madam ordered the servant girl beside her named Yuanyang. She was about 26 or 27 years old and was nimble and tough. She pulled away Leng Changxuan who got agitated with just one arm. Old Madam fixed her eyes at Leng Suxin and squinted, "What did you say? Say it again."Qin Yunuan turned to Leng Suxin and saw the sorrowful smile on her face. "It was me. I did put saffron into the cubilose that mother had given her as a present. I don't like children. They are bothering."Bothering...Bothering...A lady had killed an unborn child for such a reason! At this moment, Leng Suxin became a devil in other pe
The ambiguous atmosphere continues to rise. Love always makes women dizzy. Princess Zhao Jing narrowed her eyes, enjoying the joy at the moment.Early in the next morning, Qin Yunuan got the news after she just sent Leng Changxi out the mansion."Fourth Miss swallowed gold and committed suicide in the darkroom?" Qin Yunuan stood still for a second and looked at Ting Xue, who sent her the message. Ting Xue nodded calmly, "That's right. Grand Young Madam went to visit her at midnight. But she didn't expect to see the cold body of Fourth Miss. The post-mortem examiner found a gold hairpin in her throat.""What about West Xia?" Qin Yunuan asked as she walked back, pinning her hair up."The emperor had chosen Infanta Zhaojing to complete the imperial matrimony for peace with West Xia. Princess Jing hurried into the palace this morning and was angry when she went out. She didn't get a satisfying answer."Qin Yunuan stopped h
Qin Yunuan violently leaned backward and crouched in the chair. She was holding the note with the word “welcome” on it in her fingertips. The people who they “welcome” could refer to no one else but Leng Changxi.Seeing Qin Yunuan reacting like this, Maner figured it out more or less. Just then, there was a muffled bang coming from the door. It sounded like something heavy was hit against the door. Maner opened the door cautiously and found Leng Wu panting, leaning against the door frame. There were wounds on his arm and bloodstains on his sleeves.“Man…Maner.” Leng Wu leaned against Maner. Maner held the injured Leng Wu in her arms and burst into tears, “How did this happen? Why were you injured so badly?”Hearing that it was Leng Wu, Qin Yunuan immediately stood up and ran towards the door, “Where’s Changxi?”Leng Wu took a deep breath as he spurted blood. He frowned, bearing his pain and said, “We were set up by the third prince
With the sound of the gloomy and cold voice, Sima Ray came closer to the dark entrance. His every step seemed to force Qin Yunuan to fall into hell, which was so frightening.Sima Ray seemed to have predicted Qin Yunuan would come here. He stepped closer with a gloomy smile, and then looked at Qin Yunuan, "You came as I expected."Qin Yunuan straightened her body. Though she was in a weak circumstance, she shouted powerfully, "I have guessed that you have known early that I would come to the Imperial Clan Court."Sima Ray suddenly laughed out, "So you still came and fell into the trap?""Because this is the fastest way to meet you." If Qin Yunuan had figured it out right, Ting Xue would have left and reported to Leng Shuang before Sima Ray came.Sima Ray showed more extravagant laugh and sneered, "You miss me so much."Qin Yunuan asked straightly, "Where is Changxi?"Sima Ray turned cold immed
The Fushou Palace had an empty main hall. Outside the hall stood two rows of eunuchs and court ladies respectfully, waiting to be dispatched. In the hall, eight gilt pillars propped up the entire beam. The quietness made even a needle falling on the ground sounded harsh. Only occasionally, the sound of chess playing was heard. As the last chess piece fell on the white jade chessboard, the black pieces surrounded the white ones and checkmated.Queen Mother, who used the black chess, leaned back. Her eyes were full of carefreeness even though she knew that the palace maids and eunuchs outside had been changed to Sima Ray's people to monitor her words and deeds."Sister, you have lost again." Queen Mother took a sip of tea and looked at Old Madam of Prince Ning's Mansion, who was sitting cross-legged on the woolen cushion in front of her. "On chess, you have never beaten me. Your heart is too big, too aggressive, which is why I lose to you every time I hunt. I
Although dressed like a servant, Leng Changxi still showed a kind of majesty that specially belonged to a royal descendant because of his handsome face, persistency and dignity."Grandma, I'm sorry for making you worry about me." Leng Changxi stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Old Madam. Then, he turned to Queen Mother, who stared at him all the time, and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your care."It was reflected from her eyes that Queen Mother was moved. Leng Changxi nominally was Prince Ning's exalted son, but actually, he was her grandson, which was to say, he was her most beloved daughter's child.Queen Mother nodded and showed no expression. However, she was really emotional inside and couldn't calm down.Leng Changxi turned back and took a look at Sima Han who didn't look as dull as he was in the palace just now but smart and firm."I knew it was you who sent the message." Sima Han nodded and said
