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
Sima Ray's tone was scary. There were screams from Meng Hua, General Meng, who was tortured into the non-human form with his hamstrings cut off. Qin Yunuan walked near and smiled suddenly. She said to Sima Ray, "Do you think that I follow you to come in without any preparation to get out?"To her surprise, Sima Ray grinned, "Qin Yunuan, you're so arrogant and confident. That's why I like you so much.""Is it?" Qin Yunuan walked towards him slowly. There was a kind of enchantment in her eyes like a charming spell, which had never appeared before. Even the man with the strongest will would be lost in it for a moment. "Do you like it, then?"While speaking, Qin Yunuan poured quicklime that had been hidden in her hands upon Sima Ray's eyes and drew back quickly."Leng Shuang." With Qin Yunuan's order, a purple figure popped up like a ghost. She waved her soft sword like a silver snake. Apart from the darkness in the tunnel, Sima Ray co
Even though Qin Yunuan was the one who took the initiative to call Qin Yunzhuang, Qin Yunzhuang dared not to approach her. To Qin Yunzhuang, Qin Yunuan was no longer the concubine’s daughter in the Grand Commandant’s Mansion. She knew clearly that Qin Yunuan’s capability was far stronger than herself.Qin Yunzhuang looked at Qin Yunuan timidly. She didn’t say a word but merely stared at her.“If elder sister has nothing else to say, I’m leaving now.”“Wait, third sister.” Qin Yunzhuang finally boosted her courage and stopped Qin Yunuan. By that time, Leng Changxi had left cleverly, leaving the two sisters with a complicated relationship on the grand stairs.Qin Yunuan smiled, looking at Qin Yunzhuang, who wanted to talk but didn’t.“Third sister,” Qin Yunzhuang said timidly, “I helped you this time, but father…”“What?” Qin Yunuan sneered, “I’ve told you from the very beginning that father is on the same s
Though Leng Shuang was very confused, Qin Yunuan had no more time to explain it to her in such a short time. If they were late, there would be another grand general missing in Qi.In the meanwhile, Sima Ray was taken by Leng Wu secretly into custody in a secret room temporarily under the closest surveillance in the Imperial Clan Court."Go in." Leng Wu glimpsed at Sima Ray coldly with a poker face."You recover so quickly." Sima Ray looked at the injured arm of Leng Wu with defiant eyes, but Leng Wu did not respond. Sima Ray smiled coldly and then raised his head to look at the three lights in the room through the window from outside. He said suddenly, "What a pity! There will be another grand general missing in Qi within half an hour."At dusk, Qin Yunuan had returned to the courtyard. For the safety of Qin Yunuan, Leng Changxi did not let her out anymore. He deployed Leng Shuang and two of the most careful master-hands among the
Fortunately, Sun Miaoyang was in Prince Ning's Mansion. Unfortunately, Su Chenghai, the disciple of Doctor Sun, was suffering from poisoning at the same time. So when all the people in the Royal City and all the civilians of Qi were cheering for eradicating the evil, there were two dying people in Prince Ning's Mansion.The emperor of Qi re-ascended the throne with few concubines and descendants, so naturally, he valued Leng Changxi, his nephew, so much. He sent him countless precious tonics, and he even accompanied the Queen Mother to visit Leng Changxi after a busy day of political affairs many times. But it was a pity that Leng Changxi still didn't get any better. Qin Yunuan took care of him day and night, losing so much weight.At that time, Leng Changxi and Shi Ruisheng seemed to be vying with each other. There was only one blade of life-saving grass, but there were two people who needed it. Logically speaking, Sun Miaoyang should have given the life-s
All the people fixed their eyes on this little kid who seemed to be only three years old. The child looked extremely beautiful with big watery eyes and fair skin. He was so cute.Followed by the little child was a middle-aged man who looked strong and vigorous but was plainly dressed. People with good ears could still remember that the middle-aged man just called the little child young master. It seemed that the child should be from some noble family.Since his story was interrupted by such a little kid, the storyteller was so angry. He started narrating this story a long time ago, and everyone loved the story very much. But at this time, he was provoked by a little kid!"You kid, you know what? You weren't even born when the Royal City was chaotic.""Anyway, I know that General Leng and his wife are not dead." The kid looked unconvinced with a pout, refuting the storyteller."Hey, you kid. Do you know how many tons of
The burning of the city was the cruelest. In addition, it was the Royal City with a prosperous business and a large population. If Sima Ray was determined to have a life-or-death struggle, the people of Qi would suffer.The emperor of Qi looked at his unfilial son in front of him, feeling so furious. He pointed at Leng Changxi and said, "Get me the head of my rebellious son. I will spill his blood in front of the ancestor temple. I'll let all the ancestors see that there is such a rebel in our Sima Family."Sima Ray raised his head and his eyebrows slightly, looking so indifferent. It seemed that a bad reputation didn't matter to him at all, "I don't care at all. Besides, you never regarded me as a member of the Sima Family when I was growing up, right? You've always been ashamed of my mother. You felt it a shame to rape a maid and make her pregnant when you were young, so you never treated me kindly. I am just dispensable to you.""What nonsen
With his hands tied up behind his back, Leng Changxi remained so calm that people couldn't help bearing scruples. He looked up at Sima Ray and said, "You can kill your friends, brothers and soldiers at will. But I can't. I care for my men."When Sima Ray didn't figure out what he meant, Shi Ruisheng suddenly took out a sword that was tied to his waist. He wielded the sword to cut off the rope that tied Leng Changxi, and the latter was free at once."General, take it." Leng Changxi didn't take any weapon with him. And right because of this, Sima Ray wasn't fully on the alert. But at this time, Zhuge Qingtian shouted and directly threw the black-iron spear at him. Zhuge Qingtian had very strong arms so that the spear directly stabbed into the battlement after flying several hundred meters."Shi Ruisheng, how dare you disobey me?" Sima Ray always thought Shi Ruisheng was his loyal pawn. But unexpectedly, he should betray him at this crucial time.
Sima Ray had occupied Yu Haitang's body at the moment. However, Yu Haitang's appearance began to change because Sima Ray used the body to practice martial arts day and night. After a long time, he looked no different from Sima Ray's original appearance at a glance.Seeing Yu Haitang's shocking change, Qin Yunuan thought that the people around Yu Haitang might have noticed something. However, they all agreed to say nothing. To keep silent was the key to survive beside Sima Ray.Now Marshal Yu had already been a young man who looked exactly like Sima Ray without the name of Prince Ray."Leng Changxi, there are smoke bombs in four colors in my hands, red, yellow, blue, and green. They are responding to the codes of the people watching bonfires in the four corners of the Royal City respectively. Red is the east. Yellow is the west. Blue is the south. Green is the north. As soon as I let go of the smoke bombs, someone over there will immediately lea
"You want evidence?" Qin Yunuan raised her tone. She was considered a fool. Qin Yunuan suddenly reached out to grab Shi Ruisheng's collar. She was ready to see what's inside it."What are you doing?" Shi Ruisheng's face turned red. He covered his clothes with mild strength."What are you thinking?" Qin Yunuan stared at Shi Ruisheng. She grabbed Shi Ruisheng's collar, revealing three moles, which had a triangle shape besides his collarbone. "Yes, I remember, the elder male cousin Su has it. You were him, this is right, but," Qin Yunuan looked at Shi Ruisheng, and went up to drag his sleeve."Yunuan, what the hell are you doing?"Shi Ruisheng was shy about Qin Yunuan's bold behavior. Besides, he treated her well all these years."See," Qin Yunuan pointed at the thin black line on Shi Ruisheng's arm, "This is the poison I used to suffer. The origin of it was the Tamuer Village and the white poplar forest outside it, which
"You…" Qin Yunuan slightly opened her mouth, looking at Shi Ruisheng, who had a completely different appearance from Leng Changxi. She remembered that her cousin Su Chenghai did look familiar with Leng Changxi. However, Shi Ruisheng's temperament was quite another. The sense of Confucian scholar hid behind his expressions.Shi Ruisheng's words were doting. He seemed to learn from Leng Changxi to act in a mild and indifferent way."What's wrong? When you were a little girl, you wouldn't be like that. You used to talk a lot, but now…mature a little more, words little less." Shi Ruisheng said it naturally with the feeling of a brother. Qin Yunuan disdained him."That's because I have nothing to say to you now." She finished her words and left the tent. Shi Ruisheng wanted to chase her but was stopped by Leng Changxi, "Just let her go. Calm down, and she will be fine."Qin Yunuan kept walking. Along the way, she couldn't help but look
Qin Yunuan read the two documents in her hands. After comparing back and forth, she suddenly smiled and looked at Leng Changxi. It seemed that the two people could understand each other without speaking.In the morning half a month later, the mist dissipated gradually. The profile of the city wall, which was getting clearer little by little from afar, was outlined by the morning sun with a golden rim. The Royal City in the distance was the largest power center of Qi. Gold worshippers and desperate gamblers gathered here, crowding in the tiny space and thinking that they could gain fame and fortune. However, they all became the playthings of power."The world is supposed to be governed by the strong authority," a man in silver armor stood in the golden morning light on a high mountain from afar. The black iron spear in his hand glowed with cold murderous intent. The solemn atmosphere made people breathe cautiously."General Leng, it is me who he
Seeing that Heiying's face gradually become pale, showing a kind of dying helplessness, Qin Yunuan opened his eyelid and checked carefully. Leng Shuang seemed to be a little flustered."Madam, I..." Leng Shuang took a step closer."It's none of your business," Qin Yunuan turned her face to comfort Leng Shuang, "Besides, even if you don't kill him, Sima Ray will kill him. Even if he isn't killed by Sima Ray, he will be punished by me. How can he leave safe and sound after bullying my people?"Leng Changxi glanced at Heiying and ordered his servant, "Take him back." After saying this, he stretched his hand and pulled Qin Yunuan directly onto the horse. When he passed Tuoba Wuyu, he nodded with concern, "Thank you for your hard work."Qin Yunuan sat behind Leng Changxi. Putting her arms around the edge of Leng Changxi's armor, she lowered her head slightly, "It's so surprising that...""Nothing is surprising," Leng Changx
