It was an annual event that the emperor paid his visit to the army. He would inspect how well his army was trained. Generally speaking, only courtiers, instead of princes, had the chance to accompany, and those who on the journey were either highly expected courtiers or princes to be selected crown princes. If the emperor brought the fake bastard with him, everyone would know he was first in line to the throne.
“He is an unidentified person who made his sudden appearance from nothing. Why he can be treated that well?” Qin Yunuan was puzzled. She used to label this counterfeit as a mediocrity. So did Leng Changxi. But from this case, they underestimated his ability.
“Jing Yuanchu was behind the scheme. He brought that bastard, Du Wei back. Du Wei was highly similar to His Majesty, considering their appearance, utterance and expression were almost the same. Their blood coagulated together, which was also a convincing fact. After that, Jing Yuanchu produced ch
The lighted room was crowded with people. The rustling noises with people's talking voice covered the sound of Leng Changxi's moving out the tile with the tip of his long finger.The half-a-chi-wide little hole was enough for Leng Changxi to observe the whole picture inside. Du Wei was sitting in a big bathtub to have a bath with his eyes closed. He looked rather painful. The maids around him were hurried to spread some herbs to his bathwater. There was a swaying figure behind the folding screen. His identity remained a secret until he began to speak."You've behaved really well recently. At least, His Majesty trusts you very much," the person behind the folding screen stroke out slowly. As Leng Changxi had expected, he was Jing Yuanchu.There must have been a connection between Jing Yuanchu and Du Wei.Jing Yuanchu strode to Du Wei. He snapped out his finger suddenly and poked it hard at Du Wei's bare shoulder, who hissed as if th
"It's okay. I'm fine," Du Wei smiled and waved, but his pale face and cold sweat had betrayed his physical condition.Jing Yuanchu said hurriedly, "Mr. Du looks a little uncomfortable. You'd better go back first.""No. No need for that," Jing Yuanxiao suddenly stopped Du Wei, who wanted to leave quickly, "This time, Shishi happened to send an excellent doctor to follow me. I only knew about it last night. She cured my insomnia with merely a pair of soothing incense. What about inviting her to diagnose Mr. Du?""You've lauded the doctor to the skies," Jing Donghua looked at Du Wei. Judging from his pale face, he knew that his body must be out of condition, "Take the doctor here to have a look."In a short time, a flock of red hemline swept the city wall stairs place gently. Wearing a jade hairpin and having no makeup, Qin Yunuan came elegantly. Jing Yuanchu recognized her, and Jing Donghua had seen her. She is the little maid beside
When they were talking, Leng Changxi led an old woman in her sixties to slowly walk upstairs. She was thinly clad so waddled because of the furious wind.Leng Changxi directly took off his fox-fur robe, which was used to keep himself warm, and helped the old woman put it on. This old woman, or Granny Yu, was the one who fell down to the ground when the army passed by. Qin Yunuan helped her stand up at that time.She came a long way only for one thing.Granny Yu was from an ordinary peasant family in West Liang. She lived with her only grandson. Unfortunately, however, her grandson died not long ago, leaving her alone. She missed her grandson so much that she cried every day and even set up a thatched shack near the grave to accompany her grandson. But someone dug up the grave in less than 7 days after her grandson's death. The left corpse was incomplete. Or more precisely, the corpse's skin was peeled off.Granny Yu couldn't take t
Jing Yuanchu was shocked, but it was too late for him to avoid it. However, a guard near him did all he could to fend off the spear. As a result, the sharp spearhead grazed Jing Yuanchu's shoulder. Blood from the wound tinted his clothes at once.Leng Changxi in all black stood on the top of the wall. Raindrops made him wet, so his chest and abdominal muscles appeared against his cotton short top, showing his vigor. Large raindrops fell on his shining black-iron spearhead and down to the ground from the blade. Jing Yuanchu didn't expect that Leng Changxi would hide his spear in the wall dent. How did he make this?"You have the foresight, but only you can't beat up a group of people. You truly can hurt me. However, can you defeat all soldiers behind me?" Jing Yuanchu took a step back. A dozen of soldiers behind took out their machetes and swords to fight. Qin Yunuan, who stood alone, became their target.But unexpectedly, Qin Yunuan slightly le
Jing Yuanchu sounded unexplainably confident, making everyone nervous. He quickly ran his eyes over everyone on the wall as if he had been selecting his booty.Suddenly, Jing Yuanchu looked at Jing Yuanxiao and murmured, "It's time.""One..." Jing Yuanchu started to count down.“What are you doing?""Two..." Jing Yuanchu wore an evil smile."Three!" When Jing Yuanchu finished, Jing Yuanxiao took out a blue-and-white-porcelain bottle directly from his sleeve. The bottle that was as small as a thumb but extremely delicate had an old wooden stopper. It was just an ordinary porcelain bottle, but when Jing Yuanchu saw it, his smile froze."Yuanchu, are you looking for this?" Jing Yuanxiao didn't look native anymore but shrewd. His sharp eyes were very like those of Jing Donghua, reflecting his wisdom. Jing Yuanxiao tilted his head a bit and showed his majesty, which completely oppressed Jing Yuanchu.
Wearing a sweet smile, Qin Yunuan looked back at Leng Changxi who was extremely tender. They two understood each other's feelings, and there was full of love in their eyes. They didn't notice Jing Yuanxiao's arrival until they heard he coughed out of awkwardness."Changxi, you two are indeed deeply attached to each other, which is so enviable." Jing Yuanxiao smiled. After he held the porcelain bottle and strode forward to lay bare Jing Yuanchu's evil plot, no one would think the Crown Prince in West Xia was a lame duck anymore."Your Royal Highness, your wife and you are also a loving couple." Qin Yunuan didn't feel shy and directly expressed her admiration for the affection between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Jing Yuanxiao lowered his head, and the smile on his face was so sweet."Your Royal Highness, Mr. Leng, Mrs. Leng, His Majesty wants you to come in." The eunuch in charge walked out to report. Jing Yuanxiao was going to take
There were busy soldiers all around. After the rebellion, what was left was not only Jing Yuanchu, who was still in a coma, but also 130,000 soldiers of the rebel forces and 70,000 disabled soldiers, who had eyes dug out, or tongue cut out because of their unwillingness to join the rebellion. Although the 200,000 black-armored soldiers had taken many military doctors, everyone hoped that they could have countless arms facing so many injured people."I'll try to persuade father to help you," Jing Yuanxiao walked closer and looked at Leng Changxi's deep eyes. Their eyes were much alike, with so many secrets hiding in them.Leng Changxi nodded but didn't speak. Jing Yuanxiao sighed with emotion, "However, I have never thought that you will give up the position of a prince for you. You need to know that Jing Yuanchu had gone to great lengths to rise up from simply the child of an imperial maid to a prince in the past.""I'm just keeping my words,"
"I... I'm the leader of the second detachment of the third battalion of the Yellow Flag Army camp," the wounded soldier gasped for breath."I'm not asking who you are now. I'm asking who you were before. What happened before you joined the Yellow Flag Battalion?" Qin Yunuan stared at the corner of the wounded soldier's eye with a thick layer of blood scab. While ordering Maner to do some simple treatment before setting the fracture for the wounded soldier, she whispered to the wounded soldier in a low voice, "The black Kylin on your shoulder is the symbol of the Leng Army of Qi."The wounded soldier trembled. This secret was only known to the 3,000 people in the Leng Army and General Leng. And he seemed to be familiar with the woman whispering gently beside his ear. Was she the wife of General Leng, the girl of the Qin Family?"Madam Leng?""It's me."The wounded soldier got excited. He wanted to say something, but Qin
