It was not convincing to say that Qin Yunuan had no feelings for Su Chenghai. But these veiled and unclear emotions had been weakened by the uncertainties around him. Just like what she thought before, she believed in his personality, but she could not fully trust in his background and identity. She had the intuition that this cousin that she had not seen for years had many secrets.
If he really had been a businessman who had just arrived in the Royal City, then how could he get the precious goods from East Qin, the seal of boss Yuan and a wedding dress from the Yuman Embroidery Shop in such a short time? He was sometimes elusive and sometimes considerate as if he had been able to read her mind. Would a man like him be a mere businessman?
Seeing that Qin Yunuan did not reply, Li Qiqi made a self-mockery, "Well, my bad. I should not ask you that question. Third Miss has exceptional abilities. You have the situation well in your hand and have everything under
Maner kept stroking Ting Xue on her back. After a while, Ting Xue slowly recovered and choked with sobs, "I had no idea. After Third Miss woke up, nurse Liao instructed me to boil water for her shower. It was during the boiling of my second pot when I came over to the corner, holding the copper kettle in my hand. And then I saw the snake coming out from a chink in the bathroom window, sticking its tongue out to me. I was terrified...Fortunately, Sister Maner came and smashed the snake with a rock." Ting Xue was already rambling in her speech. If she had known how toxic that green bamboo snake was, she would have been too scared to move her legs."Okay, Ting Xue was frightened today. Go back and rest first. Let others do your work." Qin Yunuan sent Ting Xue back and dismissed the nannies and servant girls who came after the sound, leaving only Tong, Maner and nurse Liao."Oh, Third Miss, don't get too close." when she saw Qin Yunuan picking up a wooden stick
"Have you come to apply medicine dressing like this?" Leng Changxi sat upright, and the bat-shaped mask was steadily reattached to his face again before anyone knew it. He looked up at the incense that was about to burn out on the table, "And for this incense, do you really think that I can't tell it's the knockout incense from the Western Region just by its smell?"All the tricks were revealed. Xie Ruying just lowered her head, and the tingling on her wrists passed straight to the heart with her blood, making her tremble and sweat coldly. She knew it in her heart that her hand must have been dislocated.If it hadn’t been for Xie Ruying's accompany which made Leng Changxi's mother much happier, and the fact that Leng Changxi didn't want to break his mother's heart, her wrist would not be the only part of her body that Leng Changxi broke."Miss Xie, my mother took you into the house because she was lonely in her old age. She wanted someone to ta
"No way," Qin Yunuan frowned heavily, "It is too late to find a doctor. Nurse Liao, shall we let brother Dashi drive a carriage to take Baochuan to the hospital?"Went out of the mansion secretly? During a big feast in the mansion?Even nurse Liao felt embarrassed, "Third Miss, it is too dangerous. What if master and madam find us?"Going out of the mansion secretly was really against the serious rule made by Qin Zhi."We have no other way," Qin Yunuan held Baochuan depressingly to try to relieve his pain, "The nearest hospital was in the west of the city. If we dispatched someone to invite a doctor, I am afraid that Baochuan would be dead because it costs too much time. My poor Baochuan, there must be someone who do not want you to be present in the feast. Who is that person? Who is the cruel guy?" Qin Yunuan expressed her rare panic and desperate emotion. She said as she used her split vision to observe the expression change of T
Qin Yunuan smiled lightly, "General Leng, you mean my cousin. I have heard that you were a little bit familiar with my cousin Su Chenghai. And my cousin always said that he would invite you to the First Boite of the Royal City to have a cup of good tea and a dish of Glutinous Rice Balls. He wanted to talk about your old days with you."Leng Changxi slowly looked at the distance, "He did say that?""Of course," Qin Yunuan answered with a smile, "His business will rely much on you in the future.""You care much about your cousin and think much for him," Leng Changxi said with various emotions full of happiness and jealousy, "But I can accept the nice tea, but not the Glutinous Rice Balls. I do not like sweet snacks."Smart people always did not talk about the whole thing. Qin Yunuan turned silent. The two people were just standing silently on the winding corridor, looking at the clear and bright full moon which seemed to be washed by
The flash of amazement and surprise in Qin Zhi's eyes made Dou Qing'e feel very terrible. Sitting stiffly, she kept tipping Li Weijun the wink all the time. Li Weijun looked more languish than before. Qin Yunuan had heard that she was in bad luck these days. For example, her carriage fell into the gully on her way to visit her relatives, and when she was enjoying the views by a pond, she slipped over and fell into the water. Even when she stayed in her own room and did embroideries, there would be several damned crows that burst into the room and made a big mess.The master of the Li Family worried so much about his daughter that he nearly fetched a Taoist priest to expel the evil spirits. However, after knowing that at the Wan'an Temple, Li Weijun actually offended the Grand General Leng Changxi. He got furious and grounded Li Weijun at once. So, the birthday banquet of the Grand Commandant Qin was the first time that Li Weijun could come out after being grounded.
The servant girl must be new to the mansion. When encountering such an incident, she even shouted out in front of their guest Sima Ray."Okay, I know." Qin Yunuan seemed to be unexpectedly calm. She bent her knees and saluted to Sima Ray, "Excuse for my absence." Then she followed the young girl out of the yard and straight for the backyard. Her pace was fast, but not panicked. That was because she had long anticipated such a scene. The play continued constantly since Tong saw Tinghe putting something in those crab dumplings.Bypassing a rockery, she saw crowds gathering close to the back door. Besides Qin Zhi, Qin Linfeng and Concubine Liu who arrived earlier, Dou Qing'e and Qin Yunzhuang came here as soon as they got the news. The banquet outside was nearing its end. Since only Concubine Chang was left to preside over the whole event, it might have ended earlier.Temporarily, lots of torches were lit in the dim backyard. Under the light of th
"Admit it?" Qin Yunuan's words were filled with sarcasm, "I'm innocent. What should I admit? Sister Yunzhuang, you want to blame me for Tinghe's death because of the unknown content in this letter?"Qin Yunzhuang was irritated. The executioner's homicidal intention and ferociousness appeared on her face. Even thick powder couldn't hide the thought of wiping Qin Yunuan out of the family in her heart."Okay, Third Miss, don't blame me for not giving you a chance," Qin Yunzhuang said as she handed the letter in hand to Qin Zhi, "Father, please look at it. Last time my mother said that Sister Yunuan left the house secretly, and you said that she had no evidence. Now here is the evidence of her running out of the mansion and signing a contract with an unknown businessman. She wanted to share the profit. An unmarried girl went out of the house and made deals with those cheap businessmen. Tinghe discovered the contract which Third Miss hid on the bookshelf, and ha
The panic on Qin Linfeng's face only lasted for a moment. He tried to replace it with disdain, but Qin Yunuan's words were like needles piercing through his defence, "If brother had just said it by mistake, then why was the seventh black pearl of the Big Dipper pattern on your belt gone as well? Or was it that brother did not say it by mistake, but was guilty instead?"The word "guilty" spoken by Qin Yunuan at this moment was rather meaningful. Those who could get it got it immediately, such as Qin Zhi.Qin Zhi was looking at Qin Linfeng as if he had been looked at an enemy. His tone did not soften at all, "Why are you still covering it? I'll say it one last time, move away your sleeve."Qin Linfeng reluctantly moved his wide sleeves sideways. There were only exposed thread ends on the end of the Big Dipper Belt. It looked very apparent without the black pearl decoration.Qin Linfeng was panicked. Qin Yunzhuang was panicked, and ev
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
