"Move the hat away! It is an order! How dare you!" Ning Xueyan's reaction annoyed the guard. Using his sharp knife, the guard was about to kill her because nobody could do such things in front of Prince Yi.
Prince Yi's arrogance was unexpected. His guard was even more arrogant than him. If the knife fell on her neck, she would die! She shunned back in panic and suddenly shouted loudly, "In command of my lord, I inquire for Prince Yi!" Ning Xueyan gritted her teeth tightly.
Ghosts were difficult to deal with but it was easier to see Hades. Now that she was here, nothing could be worse.
With some comeliness, Ning Xueyan's voice sounded tender like a girl, which was also alluring. So several men who were standing by the door were attracted and they came towards her. An elegant man in a white suit walked ahead.
Inside the carriage with a long curtain, cold eyes fell upon Ning Xueyan's pure face at the same time. Looking carefully a
Thinking about it, Ning Xueyan took a bowl to Prince Yi and said, "Your Highness, your favor will be carved on my bones." She conveyed her appreciation to Prince Yi and also admitted who she was. Prince Yi suddenly burst into laughter. He used his hand for supporting the forehead. And his fingers which were white as the jade glided over his black robe but his beautiful voice was cold as hell. "Twice!" It wasn't a question, it was an affirmative sentence. Prince Yi was telling Ning Xueyan that he had certainly helped her twice. No matter she admitted it or not, when he thought it was, then it must be. He was the boss. Would he need anyone's favor? She couldn't imagine what the favor would be, maybe it would cost her life. Ning Xueyan felt her hands, which was hidden in the sleeves, trembling and swallowed some saliva unconsciously. Prince Yi's peaceful eyesight seemingly focused on her with the treach
"Come here, sit down." The madam showed thin happiness on her face with complex emotion emerging from the bottom of her eyes. There was a little sadness in her eyes. She reached out to point at the stone chair aside asking Ning Xueyan to sit down. "Yes, thanks a lot, my aunt!" Ning Xueyan calmed down immediately from the shock. The aunt in front of her was a smart woman. She might suspect Ning Xueyan's identity already, so she tested her by words all along. Ning Xueyan was aware that her pale face and the infirm body was the defect to lead to people's suspicions of her identity. However, Ning Xueyan was short-staffed. Although her two maids were gumptious, she still needed to handle something herself. She had no choice but to disguise as a manservant using a roomy robe to cover her track. But any experienced man could tell she was a skinny sick girl. "Yan'er, he is your uncle's son, you can call him Brother Hua. Hua'er, this is your Sister Y
Ning Xueyan was very relieved now. She took out a thick stack of letters from her arms, delivering them to Ming Feiyong. She had been out for a long time and was afraid that someone from Lord Protector's Manor would come to see her. Lanning might be unable to handle this so she had to return now. She said, "Uncle, I found these letters in my mother's secret dresser. I don't know whether or not they're useful to you so please keep them for me because they are not safe with me." The letters were brought to her recently by Mother Han's staff. They were hidden in her mother's dresser. Ning Xueyan never saw Ning Zu'an come to Bright Frost Garden to see Madam Ming when she lived there. So Madam Ming never did any decorating and the dresser was covered in dust. Mother Han and Ning Xueyan did not notice it before. However, after someone always came to check Madam Ming's things, they found something wrong there. Mother Han sent everyone away and chec
As soon as Ning Xueyan left, Lanning went to see with concern but encountered Prince Yi's guard of honor, so she quickly knelt beside the road. Then she knew that it was Prince Yi who came, knowing that most of the monks of Cold Mountain Temples went to greet him and would not have time to take care of other guests. "I'll go to see if Master Mingyue is there or not. If he's here, I'll invite him to come over and greet you. Don't rush to pray for me, take care of yourself first. Several days later, Honored Consort Ya will come to the temple to enjoy the chrysanthemum and hold an appreciation grand meeting. Your sister, First Young Lady, has been married, and the Fourth Young Lady is not qualified. So, only you and Second Young Lady can enter the grand meeting. You have to keep a good body before the grand meeting." The Honored Consort Ya was coming to Cold Mountain Temple, so the temple had been busy recently. And, that was the reason why the
Ao Chenyi's smile was ruthless. He leaned backward lazily, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Tell His Majesty I said that Zuo Zhibing intended to kill me and gossiped about the royal family. His crime is unforgivable. So I killed him to warn others." His voice was cold and indifferent. It seemed that he didn't know his words had determined the lives of hundreds of people. His words also showed that he hadn't negotiated with His Majesty before killing this official. The Emperor was the supreme master of a country. But this one, Prince Yi, dared to directly kill an official without His Majesty's permission. How arrogant he was. "Yes!" The guards did not dare to say more, respectfully nodded before they left. Ao Chenyi stood up and walked to the window, coldly looking out of the window. Suddenly, it seemed that he found something fun. He smiled and said profoundly, "What a funny little thing!" His gaze fell
Everything was in silence in the room. Ning Xueyan dropped her eyes slightly, thinking she could be sure the one who had been at the end of the road was Third Prince. Ning Yuling had regarded herself as Third Prince's wife already. Ning Ziyan told Ning Xueyan many times before that Ning Yuling was Highest-ranking Imperial Concubine Ya's beloved girl, and was determined to be the wife of Third Prince in the future. Not only did she have the thought herself, but also Madam Dowager and Madam Ling had it. Ning Xueyan wondered whether it would drive Ning Yuling crazy if they were aware of what they planned fell through. Ning Xueyan noticed that Madam Dowager and Madam Ling still had time to get some benefits from her marriage with conspiracy. She would embarrass them heavily if they pushed her too far. Her half-closed eyes had a cold light. Who could imagine such a sick and weak girl had such sharp eyes. More than a decade, Ning Xueyan was confin
"Third prince has always been gentle to women with good manners. There are many women admiring him in the backyard. What's the difference in having a few more!" Ning Xueyan replied gingerly. Neither did she care about Third Prince nor had she any thoughts for him at the moment. The only reason that she didn't want Ning Yuling to marry Third Prince was that it would be very disadvantageous to her. It was said that there were a few beauties living in Third Prince's Manor, as attractive and desirable as the white jade. Given Ning Yuling's disposition, a turmoil must await in the future. Ao Chenyi nodded, seemed to be satisfied by her reply. He then raised his hand and pointed outside, saying, " Go fetch a cup of tea for me. I am thirsty!" With no attitude, Ning Xueyan picked up the coat hanging on the edge of the bed, put it on, and grabbed a teacup on the table before leaving the room. Since she had no habit of drinking water in the middle of
Madam Dowager was having a nap now, so it was not her who asked someone to come. Lanning went out and saw a maid who dressed well standing in the courtyard. At a glance, Lanning knew she was the First Maid. Raising her chin, she looked at Lanning impatiently. She was the Ning Yuling's First Maid, Xianghong. The Second Young Lady had come to the Cold Mountain Temple! "Fifth Young Lady is sick and resting now. What's wrong?" Lanning asked faintly. Ning Yuling's maids had the same temperament with Ning Yuling. They were cowardly in front of Ning Yuling, but were very arrogant outside. They always bullied other maids under the protection of Ning Yuling. And Ning Yuling's two personal maids were more arrogant. "The Second Young Lady is coming, let the Fifth Young Lady pick her up at the gate of the temple." Xianghong glanced at Lanning and said with scornfully. "Our Young Lady is ill and can't go out. The
