Fortunately, they had already entered the court, or else the hysterical reaction of Shangguan Yee would be seen by the country women standing outside who were good at gossiping. Qin Yunuan stared coldly at Shangguan Yee and Qin Yunzhuang. The former one flared up in a fighting mood, while the latter one was as timid and innocent as a little rabbit.
Shangguan Yee won in her imposing manner. But pitifully, the more insolent she behaved, the less favored she would be in the court.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yuan had been in official circles for many years. He had a pair of thick eyebrows and bright eyes with a few beards on his cheeks, which made him look more languished. Before Yan Chengbing whacked the table with the sounding block, Shangguan Yuan had ordered a servant girl to take hold of Shangguan Yee and reproached her in a low voice, "Did you forget what I had told you before leaving?"
After this, he cast a resentful glance at Qin Yunzhuang, who
Ting Xue was no more than fourteen years old, standing like a little chicken in the crowd. It was also her first time to go in the public court for a case. She turned her head and looked at Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunuan only gave her a reassuring expression in the eyes."I'm... I'm Ting Xue.""Servant girl Ting Xue, what do you do in Third Miss Qin's yard?" Yan Chengbing asked as a rule.Ting Xue answered, "I did only the rough work before, like sweeping and boiling water. Today, I was promoted to a second-class servant girl and will be responsible for cleaning Third Miss's room."Although the voice was shaking, her answer was methodical.Yan Chengbing nodded, "Last night, Did Third Miss Qin stay in the yard all the time?"Ting Xue's lips pressed suddenly, and she seemed to be going through a very difficult struggle. She looked at Qin Yunuan for a while and then turned to Qin Yunzhuang."Ting Xue, yo
Shangguan Yee had always behaved in that way. She was self-willed, self-centered, smart in her conceit. Every inference she made revolved around her. Qin Yunzhuang schemed this to revenge her and her brother. Qin Yunuan listened with indifference. But that would work, too. At least it irritated Shangguan Yee and woke her heart of potential vengeance. It could be terrifying when a powerful heiress of the Shangguan Family started her revenge."If Qin Yunzhuang had retaliated against you for her face, I would still have believed it. But if she had done it because Qin Yuwan was about to marry your brother as a concubine," Qin Yunuan raised an eyebrow, "Miss Shangguan, you have overestimated the friendship between my eldest and second sister."Shangguan Yee was naive and immature, but also very passionate."By the way, don't you think that Grand Miss may just have arranged this meeting for your brother? Li might be the real killer for your brother.
Li Qiqi suddenly looked at Qin Yunuan with a stern and curious look, as if she had wanted to see a few clues in Qin Yunuan's always elegant eyes. Unfortunately, she didn't get anything. But Qin Yunuan had looked through her.Time seemed to freeze. Li Qiqi said after a long time, "Yes, I was surprised. I was puzzled. I felt it strange that although Master Su became a military doctor and marched with the army, and I never met him again, but we were together for many years after all. I couldn't believe that he looked at me like a stranger. No, more indifferent than strangers. He was very indifferent to everyone, except for you. At that moment, I comforted myself over and over again, that he was not the real young master Su. He must not be. He was just a person who looked like him. I didn't find out until I received a letter from my little sister from Jianzhou....""Enough," Qin Yunuan interrupted the woman's lengthy remarks mercilessly, "I'm not here to listen
Now that was right. Leng Changxi smiled as he looked at Qin Yunuan who was looking serious. He seemed to be satisfied with Qin Yunuan being serious with him, "Since you know that the ultimate aim of Zhao Huijin to harm you is to seek revenge on me, you must know the reason behind it."Qin Yunuan stunned. Leng Changxi's mind and hers were on totally different pages. After she thought of the description "beloved", Qin Yunuan blushed involuntarily. It turned from a light blushing into a honey peach red, and then a persimmon red. Finally, she couldn't help but turned her head around and said vaguely, "I... I don't know.""Yes, you do," Leng Changxi seemed very stubborn about this question, and his tone became extremely gentle, "Since you know, you should expect that in fact. If you want anything from me, I'll give it to you if I have it. If I don't, I'll get it from somebody else to give it to you."After Leng Changxi finished his sentence, he touc
When Qin Zhi said "suicide", his glance stayed on Qin Yunuan's face deliberately for a long time. After confirming that the surprise and resentment on Qin Yunuan's face were real, he slowly withdrew his glance. It seemed that this daughter of a concubine still assured him."Father," Qin Yunuan opened her mouth, but held her words back abruptly. She lowered her head and simply said, "Don't be overly mournful, father. You were married to each other after all. Even though what Concubine Li did was wrong, Yunuan knows that father must feel bad about it."Qin Zhi lowered his head in coordination, and sighed, "It's alright. You can leave now."Qin Yunuan went out of the study and saw that the cypresses planted in the yard had become more lush. The tender green buds exuded the vitality and strength of the early summer, forming a sharp contrast with Qin Yunuan's rather heavy mood.She knew exactly how Li Qiqi died. Suicide? How ridiculous
The little maidservant answered deferentially, "A lady who said she was the infanta and took a fancy to the pale-purple brocade which was selected by Miss Fang just now. She required to purchase it. The shopkeeper had persuaded her outside."After the explanation of the little maidservant, several sounds came from outside. Qin Yunuan heard the peevish and imperious voice of that lady and said with her raising eyebrows, "It seems that it is useless for your master to persuade her."Qin Yunuan stood up and was about to walk toward the hall, but was stopped by that little maidservant, "M… miss Qin, my master has said that you'd better wait in the cella. Because apart from the infanta, the moody Iron General also came here."She should go there, indeed. That was the first thought flashing in her brain. She felt stunned and cleared her throat, "Will you let her keep making such an unreasonable scene? Now Boss Shen returns to the regions south of the
Hot air made the face of Qin Yunuan blush. She could hear each word of Leng Changxi, "It's my pleasure. I just heard that you were bullied and I came for you from the horse carriage on purpose."Leng Changxi straightened his body. In his opinion, the girl he loved should not be bullied. It was so normal for him to protect her and it was also right to tell her that he was protecting her. He just wanted to let Qin Yunuan know that she should fight back when she met people like Infanta Shuhua.But in Qin Yunuan's view, what Leng Changxi did have another explanation. She stepped back unconsciously and made a buffer between her and Leng Changxi. They had different family backgrounds so she should not violate the rule even all people here were on her side.Noticing that Qin Yunuan stayed away from him deliberately, Leng Changxi just stood still silently and watched that the shop was well tidied up. As he said, he let the master give him a list of tho
Qin Yunuan straightened her neck. She saw the defiance and seriousness in Xie Ruying's eyes as if she were interrogating a prisoner. In Qin Yunuan's memory, she had never really met this woman. But since she was coming to her, there was no reason to escape.By the time Xie Ruying was right in the middle of the banquet on her way to Qin Yunuan, she suddenly stopped and stood still as if she had been frozen and had no strength to make one more step. Qin Yunuan cast a glance at the direction she was looking at and saw that Leng Changxi, who was about to take a seat, was staring at Xie Ruying with terrifying coldness. The scary look in his eyes could almost kill people, which surprised Qin Yunuan as she had never seen him in this way when they were together.But a girl sitting beside Qin Yunuan was inured to it. Pulling her homie closer, she murmured, "Look, the third young master Leng is coming. He looks so harsh. Whoever marries him in the future will be down
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
