What Leng Wu said was as dreadful as a powerful bomb, greatly shocking Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan.
"What?" Qin Yunuan saw clearly that almost the whole mountain collapsed. No one in it could survive.
"It's true. I saw him clearly." Leng Wu explained slowly, "On the day when the Grand Prince's property was confiscated, I saw people bring heavily injured Wanyan Su back to the capital city right on my way out of the Grand Prince's Mansion. Wanyan Su's right arm was broken and started to fester because of late treatment. Although he was behind layers of curtains, I saw him clearly."
"Wanyan Su indeed had broken his arm." Leng Changxi murmured, "Wait. The Grand Prince's property has been confiscated?"
"Right." Leng Wu continued, "Not long ago, the Grand Prince should have been out of confinement. But officials asked to impeach him for his adultery with imperial concubines. The Grand Prince insisted on his innocence, but an imperial con
At once, Jing Yuanchu put on an awkward smile. Jing Donghua looked down at them and laughed, "Yuanchu, you have the credit but still remain humble. I'll reward you."Jing Yuanchu stood up quickly to express his gratitude. Then, it was time for officials to remonstrate, and all of them started their harangue. This part indeed played a role in solving problems. However, later on, it became an occasion where they sang the praises of the emperor. Right when Jing Donghua was tired of their praises, a young man suddenly stood up and advised, "Your Majesty, please forgive my outspokenness. I've investigated Heavenly Master Lin before and found that people didn't hear of him until last month. Your Majesty, please stay cautious before we ascertain his identity."The statement stirred up discussions. Some disagreed, and some agreed. People who disagreed with him also stood up to argue with him. "Young man, you know nothing. The world is full of wonders. We all know a
Taking a look at the energetic parent insect and the dying subsidiary one, Qin Yunuan explained, "Your Majesty, this so-called Heavenly Master Lin who keeps the parent insect with him attempts to implant the subsidiary insect into your body through the sachet. He wants to feed the subsidiary insect with drugs and make it grow big enough, until he can control your mind and behavior through the parent insect. Then, you will become a puppet under his control.""How dare you!" Jing Donghua glared at Heavenly Master Lin. He couldn't vent his anger unless the latter was beheaded. "You're a distinguished guest the Crown Prince invited, so I treated you hospitably. But you, bearing evil tricks, lied to him and me."Jing Donghua naturally put all the blame on Heavenly Master Lin, not mentioning any bit of Jing Yuanxiao's fault. Obviously, he thought highly of and was partial to Jing Yuanxiao, which dissatisfied Jing Yuanchu. Right after he raised eyebrows, a middle-
Everything seemed settled. All left except Leng Changxi who stood next to Chen Jingrui's corpse. He thought it was really a pity that Chen Jingrui died like this. "What a pity. He's dead."“Let it go," Qin Yunuan comforted Leng Changxi and said. "We can't bring him back to life. Although he's dead and we can't sound out his secrets, we will find a way to figure everything out. After all, every problem has a solution. Besides, His Majesty is safe now." While speaking, Qin Yunuan turned to the direction where Jing Yuanchu was carried away and looked a bit cold. "We at least know where the danger comes from."Escorted to the water dungeon, Imperial Concubine Lian tried to arouse Jing Donghua' sympathy by using her old trick. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and shouted from afar, "Your Majesty, I'm innocent. Your Majesty, please uphold justice for me."Jing Donghua was unmoved, just turning his head a bit. This really echoed with the state
Just when the three groups of people were in a stalemate, there came the eunuch's reporting voice that Thirteenth Prince's wife had come.Dou Meishuang? Immediately the woman's name appeared in Qin Yunuan's mind. Now Dou Meishuang was no longer the person in the past. She was the Thirteenth Prince's wife of West Xia, while Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi were nothing right now."You'd better leave now. Where there is life, there is hope." Although Qin Yunuan was persuading the maid to leave, she wouldn't give up, "If I don't kill him, I will let my master down.""You are unable to kill him, and you'll die as a result. If your dead master doesn't even have a person to burn paper money for him, which will really make him disappointed." Leng Changxi's words made the little maid's eyes fixed. Biting her lips, she opened the window on the side decisively and jumped out.Almost at the same time, a gust of cold wind poured in. The gate of Eas
When Qin Yunuan came fully clothed, there were already so many people outside Xinger's house. It was no trifle that a person died in the courier, which was an institution set by the court. Everyone going in and out of it was recorded. The officer of the courier was addressed as Yizhang, who was a faint-hearted old man. Once he learned that someone had died here, he led people to surround the small side room closely. The moment he saw Qin Yunuan coming, he hurried to greet her."Madam, our courier has always been purely innocent. Now this thing happened! The body should never be left in the courier. She is your servant girl. You'd better deal with it quickly.""Officer Du, you've said that someone's death is a big deal. Then let us figure it out anyway. If there is something harmful or forbidden in the courier, we can find it out for you in order to prevent trouble in the future."Qin Yunuan looked around the several people brought by the office
After Qin Yunuan finished speaking, she called the little maid beside her and dragged Lu Wuyi into the room.Lu Wuyi was placed beside Elder Princess's bed. Qin Yunuan didn't say anything. She didn't need to. The two understood each other. Lu Wuyi had to detoxify his own poison."I can't do it... I can't... I'm not lying.""Oh? Is that true?" Qin Yunuan raised the corner of her mouth slightly to Lu Wuyi. She suddenly pinched his chin and stuffed a purple pill into Lu Wuyi's mouth. She pressed Lu Wuyi's chin, forcing him to swallow the pill, and then smiled, "Now, you should be able to do it."Lu Wuyi scratched his throat desperately, "What did you give me? You, crazy woman.""The only poison I can make," Qin Yunuan squinted her eyes, and the sound of weapons came from the beam of the room. A fight seemed to have begun on the roof. Qin Yunuan looked down at Lu Wuyi, her eyes sharp and cold, "It's just Heartbreak Powder.
In fact, Jing Donghua and Elder Princess’s love affair was a secret one year ago. But the royal family of West Xia seemed to have a dim future in continuing bloodlines. Except for the Crown Prince Jing Yuanxiao and the thirteenth prince Jing Yuanchu, other princes were injured or dead one after another. According to the Empress’ last wish, Jing Yuanxiao would be the Crown Prince.But he was too slow-witted to be a wise emperor that rule this country. While West Xia sought the birth mother’s status and bloodline of great importance, the thirteenth prince Jing Yuanchu was born in low status. If Jing Donghua and Elder Princess’s son were still alive, he may not be able to kick off the crown prince. But if he could be entitled as a marquis to help Jing Yuanxiao, the two could be praised as companionate brothers.However, nobody had ever expected the sudden appearance of the rumored illegitimate child.Doors opened. A tall man was standing in the do
While Dou Meishuang was still slightly surprised, Leng Changxi had walked out of the door sideways and closed it in time. Dou's eyes would never be sharp enough to see what happened inside the closed door."I wonder if you would accept this little request of mine, Your Grace." Leng Changxi was full of grace, showing his perfectly contoured chin even when his face was covered in the silver mask. He held his hand behind, and a regal air emanated from every pore of his body. Dou Meishuang looked at Leng Changxi's eyes and seemed to be puzzled for a while. Then she suddenly smiled, "His Majesty had only invited Elder Princess into the palace.""Elder Princess was in bad health. She needs to be taken care of."Dou Meishuang observed Leng Changxi's cold and dark eyes through the holes of his silver mask. Almost for a moment, she found herself drowning in those eyes."But His Majesty was...""Even the Imperial Concubine of We
