The blessing ceremony was ruined, and the lecture was ridiculous. When everyone was at loose ends about the bad luck, a young monk ran into the door and reported, “Xuan Zhi, the dignitary Xuan Zhi is here."
"Today's Buddha Dharma Sermon was disturbed for the detention of Hui An, and I feel extremely sorry for that. Therefore, I invited the dignitary Xuan Zhi who, luckily, was traveling in the surrounding area. Master Xuan Zhi's Dharma is profound. I believe that his words can be thought-provoking." Leng Changxi continued his words slowly, "For the three of them, Hui An, Jie Chen, and Lvliu, they should be liable for disturbing the ceremony, showing disrespect for the Buddha and also slandering Third Miss Qin. Since it happened in the Wan'an Temple, Jie Chen and Hui An were all disciples of the temple. I am going to leave them to the dignitary Hui Neng. Does anyone have an opinion about that?"
Xuan Zhi was as famous as Hui Neng in the Qi Empire. However, he
Leng Changxi focused his sight. There seemed to be light glowing in his dark pupil, as if he had wanted to look through the thick carriage curtain to take a good look at the eyes that sometimes indulged him. She was not a woman with the perfect face, but Leng Changxi found it difficult to keep his eyes off her. However, she seemed to be pretty defensive against him."General Leng?" Maner called him softly, "If you have nothing else to say, our miss has to return home now. The mansion of Grand Commandant is quite far from here. I'm afraid it's already too late.""This, give this to your miss." Leng Changxi took out a three-inch tall white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Maner. "It was also found from Lvliu. After careful consideration, I didn't take it out at Arhats Hall. However, I think it's necessary that she knows about this." Leng Changxi finished his words, then he flicked his sleeves and leave, bringing a wave of light and shadow.
The sister and brother hugged each other and said many warmhearted words, and even Nurse Liao serving aside could not help but shed tears. The two people, one was the daughter of a concubine and the other was the son of the concubine. It was extremely hard to live well without their mother at the mansion of Grand Commandant controlled by Dou Qing'e.At the same time, Cui Xuan courtyard was brightly lit all the time.Stars were shining and the room of Dou Qing'e was brightly lit all the time too.Dou Qing'e put down the letter which was taken back by Qin Yunuan from Master Hui Neng, and frowned heavily. She held the soothing tea on the table but then put it down. She was uneasy and her palm was sweating, "No. So Lvliu has been perceived. I feel very uneasy if Lvliu is still alive and stays in Wan'an Temple like a malignant tumor growing in my heart.""So madam, you mean?" Xiu Gu asked carefully while taking off the hairpin for Dou Q
At the study of the east yard at the mansion of Grand Commandant, the debris of colored glazes and ceramics were scattered all over the floor.Qin Zhi sat on the armchair and his face expressed his anger conspicuously and exhaustion after a long journey. Suddenly the house kept silent for nearly half an hour and even a falling hair sounded extreme loudly like a thunder."What you said just now was true?" Qin Zhi took a deep breath."My master, I dare not to tell a lie," Dou Qing'e said with love and tears, "It was said that I abused the concubine's daughter and made Qin Yunuan's hands get chilblain. That's not true. After the death of Yunuan's mother, you let me take care of Yunuan and Baochuan, and the whole family knows that Baochuan is spoiled. But this time… due to the mistake of Yunuan, I punished her to wash clothes for several days. To my surprise, Yunuan was too slender and got chilblain just after three days."Arrogance, t
Unconsciously, Qin Zhi stroked his right arm that was sprained before and cast a look at Qin Yunuan. He was wavering, just like the fallen leaves in the pond."That's right. I prepared this medicine mash for you, father," Qin Yunuan said feelingly, "I know that you got hurt during the inspection tour to the regions south of the River. So, I grinded the medicine mash especially for you. It may not be so effective as the medicine prescribed by imperial doctors, but I made this with all my heart. Now, mother said that was Cold-Food Powder which... which was so filthy. I was wronged, father."After she said this, her eyes were filled with tears, which touched Qi Zhi's heart slightly. He had never paid any attention to this concubine's daughter, but what she did made him feel warm. At least, the medicine mash proved that she had put him in her heart.But Dou Qing'e did not give up. Gnashing her teeth, she said, "Master, even though it was not there,
Doctor Chen's voice was soft, but it bound Dou Qing'e’s heart tightly like a band. She found it hard to breath. Her face darkened as soon as she saw Qin Yunuan, who was waiting aside peacefully."It was you!" Dou Qing'e glared at her fiercely, "You set up the trap and waited for me to fall into your snare. Watching me being blamed, are you satisfied? You feel good, don't you?"Qin Yunuan turned around slowly. At this moment, it seemed to her that Dou Qing'e was acting like a shrew. "Did you hear what Dr. Chen said, mother? Father fainted suddenly because he was exhausted and needed some rest. If you want to make a noise and blame me, at least wait until father gets better.""You have grown up," Dou Qing'e said more loudly, "And you have better tricks. I had misjudged you.""Mother," Qin Yunuan tilted her head. Her face was as innocent as snow lotus compared with the fierce and hateful face of Dou Qing'e. "Father had just said it wa
Qin Yunzhuang glanced at the arrival of Qin Yunuan. Anger rose from her heart. Thinking of her mother's warnings last night, telling her that Qin Yunuan was trickier than they thought, she forced herself to swallow her anger. She didn't manage to stay calm until she pinched a purple crescent on the palm with her nails and said hello to Qin Yunuan. "Third Miss, you also came to see my father?"Since she could tolerate, Qin Yunuan would not reveal her actual self. She saluted to her gently and said, "Father wasn't in good health. I think that I should treat him with filial piety. Aren't you here for the same reason?"Qin Yunzhuang tried hard to calm down, but she felt sorry for her mother when she saw Qin Yunuan keeping herself out of the affairs. She gritted her teeth and didn't want to stay any longer, "Just go in and see Father, I should go."After finishing her words, she lifted her skirt and disappeared behind the wall. Qin Yunuan stared at
Concubine Chang appeared to be a little bit embarrassed, couldn't help but step back. Qin Yunuan spoke with a smile, "Yunuan had no other way. But there is a man in the Mansion that could help."Meeting the surprised eyes of Concubine Chang and the doubtful ones of Concubine Liu comprehendingly, Qin Yunuan continued, "My cousin Su in the east wing of the house. He has been in Beijing for more than half a month as a businessman. Maybe he knew someone or some plans that could help.They didn't have much time and Qin Zhi could never know about it. In this way, it was not a bad idea to seek help from Su Chenghai.Just as Concubine Chang head for the east wing along with Concubine Liu and Qin Yunuan, a blue shadow flew through the air above the quiet courtyard in the east wing. If you observed carefully enough, you could see the flapping cross straps and the bloodstain on his shoulder. Stepping on the ridge of the grey tile-roofed house, he jumped d
Li Qiqi seemed a little flattered, a concubine did not need to cover her head with a cloth when she got married. At this moment, her beautiful face became more and more dazzling under the candlelight, forming an ironic contrast with the wrinkles at the corner of Dou Qing'e's eyes.Li Qiqi was still hesitant while Qin Zhi, who was on the side, spoke first, "It's rare that my wife Qing'e is so courteous. It seems that worshipping the Buddha for half a month can really purify a soul."He called her "my wife Qing'e". It had been years since he last called her like that. Dou Qing'e forced a bitter smile. She had done so much for the Qin Family and yet Qin Zhi had never praised her for it. Now that she merely gave his new concubine a couple hairpins, he was full of tenderness. This was the man that she wanted so badly to keep to her own."Huh, it's all about her face." After the tea was finished, naturally Qin Zhi carried Li Qiqi back for the wedding
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
