Shi Qingxue hesitated.
After a moment of silence, under Shi Junhe’s eyes almost with a plea…
She gave up the simple and cruel idea of checking Leng Yan’s body to expose her true face.
When Leng Yan got complacent once more, Shi Qingxue took out a pill from her pocket and gave it to her.
Meeting Leng Yan’s doubtful eyes, Shi Qingxue smiled and said casually, “Since you are unwilling to be checked, I won’t force you. Eat this pill.”
“What’s this?” Leng Yan stared at that pill alertly and didn’t want to move.
It was joking. She knew that Shi Qingxue felt hostility towards her and she would eat this pill only if she was a fool.
“Don’t worry. It won’t take your life.” Shi Qingxue saw through Leng Yan at a glance and smiled faintly, explaining, “It won’t harm you, but it is tonic.”
Leng Yan looked at Shi Qingxue and still didn’t believe her.
Her eyes seemed to ask, “Are you
Leng Yan didn’t have any chance of winning.She straightened her back and knelt to Shi Qingxue, begging in tears, “My Lady, it was my fault. I am blind and brainless, so I offended you. Please don’t mind as you are broad-minded. Please spare me this time.”Shi Qingxue pursed her lips coldly and didn’t say anything.Seeing that she couldn’t change Shi Qingxue’s mind when she begged, Leng Yan made up her mind and expressed her loyalty firmly. “If you can spare my life, I am willing to accuse Princess Royal and the third master with Rou’er.”She was afraid that Shi Qingxue couldn’t realize her importance, so she tried hard to stress, “Although you have Rou’er’s statement with her signature, after all, she is an outsider. With her one-sided words, you can’t prove anything. Perhaps they will make unfounded countercharges then.“But I am different. I am a person concerned, and the baby in my womb is the solid evidence. Even
When Shi Qingxue reached the Shou’an Hall, Mo Shujun was drinking tea at leisure in her room.“Grandma, nice to see you.” Shi Qingxue bowed to greet her politely yet distantly.Mo Shujun leered at her coldly and snorted. “What are you doing here?”They disliked each other since long ago. Although they remained in amity on the surface, when the two were alone in a room, they didn’t need to pretend.Shi Qingxue certainly thought so and didn’t care about Mo Shujun’s distance.She shrugged and smiled. “Since I come to disturb you so late at night, of course, I have something important to talk about with you.”“Disrespectful girl, don’t you know what time it is now? You still came to disturb me at bedtime. I indulge you too much at ordinary times.” Mo Shujun suddenly rebuked her granddaughter, and it seemed that Shi Qingxue’s arrival was a serious crime.Shi Qingxue frowned slightly and looked at M
Mo Shujun looked at Shi Qingxue and stated forcefully, “Kid, I can see that you have evil intentions and want to frame your uncle purposely, right?“Juncai seldom talks with you at ordinary times. Although he doesn’t spoil you, he never offends you. How can you be so heartless as to put all the blame on your innocent uncle?”She cursed and shouted. It was obvious that she thought that Shi Qingxue made irresponsible remarks and intentionally framed Shi Juncai.She was really good at making false countercharges.Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but tut-tut to praise her grandmother.Nevertheless, she didn’t hurry to retort or explain. Instead, she pretended to look at Mo Shujun doubtfully. “Grandma, why did you say that? I never show disrespect to Uncle Juncai.”“In this case, give Leng Yan to me. Then it can prove that the maid talked nonsense and it has nothing to do with you. So I naturally won’t blame you.”
Mo Shujun was so angry that she even burst into laughter. She glared at Shi Qingxue ferociously and snorted. “Do you think it is possible?”Was she joking?She could hardly agree to let Dong Hui return to their mansion, and Shi Qingxue even dreamed that she would go to the Dong family’s mansion to beg Dong Hui to come back. The girl just tried to step on her dignity.Humph!They couldn’t try to think about it. Mo Shujun wouldn’t surrender because of that.Shi Qingxue shrugged indifferently and stated, “In this case, tomorrow I will give the two confessions in my hands to the government to put on record. If the people in the government don’t handle it, I still have a say in front of the Empress Dowager. I believe that she is willing to uphold justice for me.”“You…” Mo Shujun trembled out of anger.She had never expected that Shi Qingxue would be so reckless as to ruin Shi Juncai’s fame.
At last, Dong Hui returned to Duke Shi’s mansion.Leng Yan who made a scene in the East House disappeared at the wedding night, and all the servants carefully concealed mentioning it.It seemed that this thing never happened.The next day after Dong Hui returned to the mansion, some servants fished up a maid’s dead body from the well behind the Shou’an Hall. After an identification, it was the maid Rou’er who had lived with Leng Yan.She died for no reason, and all her body was white and hot after being soaked in the well water. It looked quite scary.There were gossips in the mansion gradually that the geomantic omen of the room where Leng Yan and Rou’er lived was bad and it took people’s lives, so the two people who lived there disappeared or died.The rumor spread that there were ghosts in the mansion, but soon other gossips replaced it.“Qingxue, Rou’er was…” Shi Baojing hadn’t expected th
After saying goodbye to Shi Baojing, Shi Qingxue went to King Rui’s mansion.Because of Leng Yan’s case, she almost didn’t see Mo Junyang these days.It was not that they didn’t contact each other.For example, Mo Junyang helped her hide Leng Yan. Even if Mo Shujun was capable and dug the ground, probably she couldn’t find the maid.However, Shi Qingxue hadn’t apologized to Mo Junyang.She came to King Rui’s mansion alone and wanted to give Mo Junyang a pleasant surprise, but as soon as she reached the gate of the mansion, a carriage stopped at the gate and prepared to set off at any time.The guard Wei Zichao knocked at the door of her carriage and said in a low voice outside, “My Lady, my master invited you to share a carriage with him later.”Shi Qingxue sat in the carriage and surprise could hardly be concealed on her face.She had been out for only a short while, yet Mo Junya
The ancestral mausoleum of the Shi family was a treasure place with good geomantic omen in the northern suburbs of the capital city.It was said to be the ancestral mausoleum, but in fact, only Shi Lei was buried here.However, Shi Lei was far-sighted and cleaned up the large ground, saying that it would be the place for all the family members to rest in peace in the future.The geographic position of the ancestral mausoleum was wonderful indeed, with a broad view, and it was quiet yet not too horrible.Every time Shi Qingxue came to pay respect to her grandpa, she would give him thumbs up.“You know what? I hated here most when I was young. I always thought that this place took my grandpa away from me. On Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Winter Solstice every year, I was unwilling to come here then. And I came here while sobbing only after Father had to tell me to kneel in the ancestral hall as a punishment.” Looking at the
The grave keeper was beaten hard, but he didn’t dare to resist at all.He didn’t resist and even accepted Shi Qingxue’s anger silently till his face became black and blue, almost not like a person.Mo Junyang walked forward and stopped Shi Qingxue again, saying in a deep voice, “Stop beating him. Calm down.”Shi Qingxue did stop, yet she still glared at the grave keeper resentfully and gritted her teeth, swearing, “I will kill him!”Her words made the grave keeper tremble out of fear, but soon he returned calm. It seemed that Shi Qingxue said she would only “injure him” instead of “killing him”.Mo Junyang glanced at the grave keeper coldly and agreed. “Okay.”He said it simply and decisively, almost without hesitation.He seemed to be a slave of his wife and agreed with Shi Qingxue unconditionally no matter what she said, which even scared her.Wei Zichao had a headache and looke
The two went home hand in hand, and as soon as they entered the house, Aoyuki was hugged by the figure that stumbled and rushed over to her."Sis, Sis! Sis, Sis, Husband ..."The small child hugged Shi Qingxue's legs tightly, tilted his head, and called out in a whiny voice at the two.The little guy, Shi Qing Min, had recently become more and more fluent in speaking, and grew up fast, his brain was especially smart, sometimes he even used tonguetwisting words to confuse the servant girl who was serving him.Now, other than losing a little weight, not walking very well, and having that big birthmark on my face, I'm doing exceptionally well.He has become the little favorite of the entire Rui Wang House, and there is no one who doesn't like him when he is sweetmouthed and can talk.Shi Qingxue even spoiled him to the sky, as she picked him up, looking at the maid Xiao Cui who chased over in front of her, she reached out and scraped at Qingmin's nos
Mo Yunzhao ascended the throne as the emperor, but in the end, he was just a child who didn't know anything, so naturally, he couldn't possibly handle any imperial affairs.Mo Junyang can only rule as a regent.In this regard, naturally no one would object, and even less would be foolish enough to think that Mo Junyang's move was an attempt to seize the imperial power really it would be better for him to do it himself!This position was all equivalent to Mo Junyang giving it to Mo Yunzhao with his hand, if anyone would still think that way, then it was really silly.Still, once the news spread, it created a furor.The first one to react vehemently was surprisingly the Ruined Emperor Mo Jun Yu.Mo Jun Yu simply couldn't believe what she had heard, and for a moment, she forgot all about her reserved demeanor and clamored to see Mo Junyang.At a certain time after the morning court, Mo Junyang went to the former Crown Prince's East Palace to m
Mo Junyang shrugged his shoulders and replied in a calm tone, "Literally."Qu Yue Bai was not going to be fooled by Mo Junyang's glib tone.Eyes sharply staring at Mo Junyang, "What do you mean? When did King An become the father of the Emperor?"If she didn't know that Mo Junyang had never been one to say anything, Qu Yue Bai would almost think that the other party was joking with herself.But even so, Qu Yue Bai still felt that what Mo Junyang was saying was pie in the sky.You can change everything else, but can you change the whole reincarnation thing?Mo Junwen, even if he changes any more, it's impossible ...Mo Junyang, "The future.""What?"Even how smart and resourceful Qu Yue Bai was, she didn't understand what Mo Junyang meant by these two words coming out of nowhere?Instead, it was Shi Qingxue who was listening to these two talk like chickens, so she had to take the initiative to speak up, "Yue Bai, what Jun Ya
Qu Yue Bai was once again glared at by the gleaming gazes of the crowd and felt pressurized.Cold sweat is falling.He huffed and said bitterly, "Why are you all asking me?"Qu Yuexuan rested his chin and leisurely picked up, "Among our group of people, if there's really anyone who would know Ayan's whereabouts, that person would be you!"The others nodded again in unison, looking at him with great sincerity.Qu Yue Bai, "..."He was speechless for a long time before he finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly and confessed, "To be honest, I don't know what he really wants to do? If you guys really want to ask, I can only tell you that he's been busy repairing the imperial tomb recently!"Crowd, "????"Qu Yue Bai spread his hands and straightened up before the crowd asked, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything else."After a pause, he suddenly revealed a treacherous smile, seemingly kindly reminding, "If you guys really want to k
Liang Zixin was trembling with fear, and eventually couldn't stand it, rolled her eyes and fainted.Qu Yuexuan looked at the skinny body lying on the ground, tsked and shook his head straight, deliberately lamenting, "So unscared, so useless!"Qu Yue Bai rolled her eyes and admonished in a goodnatured manner, "Alright, hurry up and bring the person down, Ah Yang has other things to do."He made a wink towards Mo Junyang and Mo Jun Yu's side.Qu Yuexuan and Shen Luo then had the good sense to clear out and leave.In the courtyard of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, there were just two people left, Mo Junyang and Mo Jun Yu, standing opposite each other.The two men faced each other for a long time without uttering a word.Mo Jun Yu probably also realized that he would not be able to escape this time no matter what, under the dominance of such a state of mind, he surprisingly didn't feel scared, instead, he showed a mocking smile to Mo Junyan
Leng Yuan was unable to speak again for a while.Calmly sulking, he called 'father' again in a low voice.It was only then that Leng Yuan snapped back to his senses as if he had been awakened.He sank his face and rebuked in a cold voice, "Since you know that I am your father, then obediently go back to me. I'm the commander in chief of the army, I have my own judgment on what to do!"Calm stared at Leng Yuan with an incredulous face, took a step forward, and was about to say something when Leng Yuan had already turned his face away and coldly commanded, "Someone, send Miss back to the mansion.""Yes!"Two soldiers immediately came in from outside, and despite the calm struggle, they directly took the person out.For a long time, Leng Yuan was the only one in the tent, until a dark shadow flickered past the outside of the tent under the reflection of the sunlight.Only then did Leng Yuan look as if he was relieved and sat down dismally
Mo Jun Yu knew that Liang Yuan Ming was simply using his throne as a threat to force him to give up Mo Yu.After a long time, he hung his head low and finally slowly said to Liang Yuanming, "Mo You I'll leave it to you, what to do, Prime Minister Liang you look after yourself!""Yes, Your Imperial Majesty!"Mo Jun Yu didn't look at Liang Yuan Ming again, he didn't even dare to look at anyone, and after hurriedly dropping these words, he left the imperial study by himself.Liang Zixin looked at Mo Jun Yu's hasty back and couldn't help but laugh coldly, humming in a low voice, "Something that doesn't exist, even his closest henchmen can give up without hesitation, let's see who dares to follow him now!""Xin'er!" Liang Yuanming coughed twice and glanced towards She Changming's place, signaling Liang Zixin not to go too far.Only then did Liang Zixin reluctantly shut her mouth and returned to her own chambers as well.She Changming didn't know
Seeing that Shi Qingxue didn't say anything, She Changming thought that he had moved Shi Qingxue, and became even more excited to deliver his speech, "It's right to vindicate King An, but how can any subject force the emperor."Shi Qingxue couldn't help but laugh mockingly, humming, "So ... then if the monarch slanders you for collaborating with the enemy and treason without evidence, is the pavilion elder also willing to lead his neck and cut his own throat?"By applying the same scenario to She Changming, She Changming lost his earlier justification.The expression stiffened a little for a moment.But soon he regained his proper color and said in a high tone, "Since ancient times, the way of kings and ministers has never been that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, the present Emperor is the Crown Prince set by the late Emperor, and is the orthodoxy of the country, and the old ministers should look up to the Emperor."It'
Mo Jun Yu lowered his head, his voice lowered as he asked, "So what, is it possible to watch my kingdom be snatched away by Mo Junyang?"Liang Yuanming hurriedly pacified, "Of course not! Your Majesty, what we need now is time!"Mo Jun Yu raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?""We still have three hundred thousand troops in South County, and we are stepping up our efforts to rush to Kyoto. As long as these 300,000 men join up with our 600,000 troops on the frontline. Three times as many as the rebels, even if their morale is low, they will definitely be able to wipe out the rebels!"Liang Yuanming spoke in an impassioned tone, analyzing with Mo Jun Yu in a reasoned manner.Mo Jun Yu couldn't help but have his eyes light up after hearing this, and his entire body was instantly energized and refreshed.Yeah! Why didn't he think of that!Even if Mo Junyang was no matter how powerful he was, there was nothing he could do in the face of
