Last Updated:
2022-09-16 14:16:24"Our Young Lady is the Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor. She's coming here to meet Madam Dowager." Qingyu stepped forward, raised her head and answered. During this period of time, Qingyu had been trained to be no longer as timid as before. She was neither humble nor arrogant when she answered the eunuchs.
Someone came in to ask for permission. After a while, an older female servant came out and nodded while looking at Ning Xueyan who was blocked outside. Then the eunuch raised his hand and let go.
Qingyu was left in the corridor and Ning Xueyan went into alone. Although she didn't look up, she had seen everything in the room as soon as she came in. In the spacious room, a beautiful woman in a piece of clothing embroidered phoenix was sitting at the top seat. She had an oval face and her eyebrows were slender, showing her gentleness while speaking and smiling.
It was hard to believe that such a pure and gentle woman was the favored

Ning Yuling was unsatisfied when she first heard that she was had the same reward as Ning Xueyan's. But when she heard that she could still get a Phoenix Hairpin, she looked up at Honored Consort Ya in surprise. Her eyes were widened and she was very happy. Then she turned to Ning Xueyan and glared at her with satisfaction. The Phoenix Hairpin was not something that ordinary people could have! Only the consort of the royal family could be called the Phoenix. "Since Honored Consort Ya noble rewards me with such a Phoenix Hairpin, she must be satisfied with me and wants me to marry the Third Prince." Ning Yuling thought in mind. Madam Dowager also was very happy and relaxed. Unexpectedly, Honored Consort Ya didn't ask about the trouble Ning Yuling made before, which pleased Madam Dowager. She deliberately asked Ning Yuling to dress up and then come here in order to Ning Yuling could leave a good impression to Honored Consort Ya.

Seeing that the Honored Consort Ya going into the inner room to have a bath, the 30-year-old woman left the house. "Aunt Xiang, it's late, where are you going?" Seeing Aunt Xiang came out, the eunuch who guarded the door asked with a smile. "I heard that there is a sole chrysanthemum outside our yard. I'll go and see it first. If Honored Consort Ya asks about it tomorrow, I can tell her." Aunt Xiang answered with a faint smile. She was Honored Consort Ya's servant and in charge of the flowers and plants in Honored Consort Ya's palace for her. She was good at growing flowers and plants, so the flowers in Honored Consort Ya's palace bloomed better than that of anywhere else and even was praised by the emperor. Since these flowers could attract the emperor for Honored Consort Ya, Aunt Xiang was not an ordinary servant anymore. Everyone respectfully called her Aunt Xiang. Aunt Xiang came into the palace with Honored Consort Ya and was Honored Co

Madam Ming wanted her to be childless and also wanted to murder her. Ning Xueyan noticed that something was wrong in medicine, which was the reason why she invited Aunt Xiang to come tonight. But she didn't expect Madam Ling to be so malicious. For a woman, her children were her lifelong dependence. The love came from lover would change one day. Ning Xueyan didn't believe love anymore. If she could succeed in revenge in the future, she wanted to marry an ordinary person and live a simple life. If she had no offspring, it could be imagined how miserable her future life would be. First, she would have no offspring, and then she would die. She couldn't figure out that there would be anyone but Madam Ling who hated her so much. No wonder Madam Ling had kept a low profile for Ning Xueyan these days. She had already poisoned her and waited quietly to see Ning Xueyan get weak step by step and die in the end. Even though Ning Xueyan wouldn't die, she also would h
Last Updated : 2022-09-16The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 47 Greetings and the Poison in the Medicine
"Does Madam Dowager also take tonics?" Ning Xueyan thought for a second and said. In the Lord Protector's Manor, the masters were used to taking tonics in winter. Of course, there was no such rule in the Bright Frost Garden. People in the manor said that Madam Ming and Ning Xueyan had been taking medicine all the time and they couldn't eat other tonics randomly in case the effect of the medicine would be influenced. But Ning Xueyan knew that Madam Dowager started taking tonics in autumn which was useful for old people. So Madam Dowager had a small pharmacy, small but complete. Compared with the large pharmacy which was in charge of by Madam Ling, there were more precious medicinal materials in Madam Dowager's small pharmacy. Usually, Madam Dowager kept a close eye on her small pharmacy strictly and always brought good things into it, which made Madam Ling jealous. Ning Xueyan had come up with an idea. Since Madam Ling planned to hurt her, she would let he

Ning Yuling flushed because of the praise. Although she didn't understand what the meaning of the Consort Dowager was, she still proudly looked at Ning Xueyan. She had already felt that she was much more beautiful than Ning Xueyan. But Ning Xueyan remembered something and understood the meaning of this Consort Dowager. She lowered her head to cover the sneer in her eyes. Ning Yuling was very proud now. Ning Xueyan wondered whether she would be proud too when she knew the truth. "Consort Dowager, you think highly of her." Madam Dowager said with a smile, then she raised her hand and said to Ning Yuling, "Yuling and Xueyan, you two come over together and salute the Consort Dowager of the Commandery Prince Li's Manor." "Yes!" The two came together and saluted the Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li's Manor with great respect. Really speaking, the identity of this Consort Dowager was the same exalted as that of the Empress Dowa

Ning Yuling was ignored and felt embarrassed for a while. When she saw Honored Consort Ya's unhappy face, she realized that she was disgusted. So she quietly stepped back and stared at Ning Xueyan fiercely when she came back. When passing through Ning Xueyan, she whispered angrily, "Did you do that, little bitch?" Ning Xueyan gave her a faint smile, but didn't answer her question. She looked at Madam Dowager's face and ignored Ning Yuling directly, which made Ning Yuling angry. However, she dared not indulge in front of so many people. The Forth Prince's imperial physician came quickly. Listening to the order of the Honored Consort Ya, he went to examine the dregs and said, "Yes, there's one harmful medicine material!" Ning Yuling stiffened and could hardly believe what she heard. She unconsciously looked at the servant behind her again. "Did I misunderstand just now? Did she mean that there really is something wrong with the medicine? Did s

There were few people who could help Ning Xueyan and everyone had to bear more responsibilities. Lanning knew this situation very well, so she said she was okay. "You and Qingyu go out for a stroll in the afternoon. As soon as you see the maids of other manors, you talk to them. During the conversation, you only say that Ning Yuling is beautiful and virtuous." Ning Xueyan leisurely said with a smile. "Many Childe and Young Ladies saw what happened yesterday. No one will believe us!" Qingyu blinked her eyes and couldn't understand Ning Xueyan's meaning for a moment, asking in perplexity. At that time, more than one Chile was present and saw what Ning Yuling did. Who would believe Ning Yuling was virtuous? "Those Chiles who were present yesterday know that Ning Yuling isn't virtuous. But not all Childes were present yesterday. They might believe what we'll say." Ning Xueyan smiled and jade-like eyes circled, mockery in her eyes.

It started to rain. The raindrop, with a touch of coolness, fell on the human body from the sky. The sky was dark and gloomy! Ning Yuling was walking to the Fragrance Pavilion with Xianghong in private, tightly holding a piece of paper in her hand. She was so happy that she didn't found that the umbrella which was held by Xianghong didn't stop the sporadic raindrops from falling on her head and body. Thinking that she would catch the man who secretly dated Ning Xueyan and then murder Ning Xueyan, she could not help being excited. "Ning Xueyan is so unlucky. The note she dropped in front of my door was picked up by Xianghong." Ning Yuling thought with excitement. How could she give up the chance of exposing Ning Xueyan's scandal and letting people see what kind of person she was? Ning Yuling was very excited when she thought that. She rushed to the Fragrance Pavilion with Xianghong. Ning Yuling saw someone in the pavilion far aw

"What will you do now?" Ning Xueyan had to take two quick steps to catch up with Ao Chenyi's pace. "Destroy the nine barbarian states alongside Wen Xueran?""No." Ao Chenyi raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously. "I'll negotiate with Wen Xueran."Confused, she repeated, "Negotiate?""The people of the nine barbarian states have always been different from those of the central plains. They're valiant and barbaric. For many years, they have wanted to invade us. If it weren't for the princes of Annan holding down the front, the nine barbarian states would have attacked us a long time ago. Annan troops have fought the nine barbarian states more than our troops did, and they have a better chance of winning too."Ao Chenyi said calmly. He didn't like the nine barbarian states in the slightest. If it weren't his father forbidding him from going to the faraway hinterland of the nine barbarian states, where death was almost certain, he wo

It didn't take long for Qingyu to return from the Lord Protector's Manor with a new piece of news. It was said that there had been a haunting in the prayer hall of the manor.Rumor had it that an older maid became ill from the fright of seeing a ghost.A long time ago, the Cloud Reflection Courtyard was said to be haunted too. No one dared to come close at that time, not even during the day. Even though the rumors died down later on, a few people who were deeply affected by the events said that the situation was still grave then.Therefore, even though only a maid had seen the ghost, the rumors spread like wildfire in the manor.The prayer hall used to be Madam Dowager's favorite spot. It was later used to imprison Madam Ling for some time. Now that Madam Ling was dead, everyone feared that she was the ghost. It was said that Madam Ling was an evil woman when she was alive. Even in death, she might become a malicious ghost. The sit

Ao Chenyi was so close that his handsome face was all that Ning Xueyan could see, and he didn't look all that happy. Then, she realized that she had been holding tightly onto a strand of his black hair.She flung her hand and hastily released the strand of hair in her hand. She even caressed the hair on his temples with a wide smile. "Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"Ning Xueyan looked truly confused as if she really didn't know that she had grabbed Ao Chenyi's hair until it hurt."Playing dumb, huh?" he said coldly, frowning at her. His slender fingers reached out and lightly pinched the wing of her nose."Ouch!" Ning Xueyan held her nose pitifully. Her limpid eyes seemed glazed over as if brewing tears."Now you know it hurts!" Ao Chenyi's thin lips were curved into a smile. He was satisfied to see her not daring to voice her frustration.Ning Xueyan nodded firmly without

"Can you remember it now?" Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes and knocked on their table with his slender fingers. His voice sounded a tad threatening."I… I really can't remember." Ning Xueyan felt like she had thought of all the possible answers but she was still coming up empty. She had no choice but to admit her fault."You really can't remember?" His beautiful eyes curved into a charming arc and his expression was sinister. Sure enough, this was a bad situation to be in. She didn't even hesitate to grab his hand with a bright smile on her tender face."Even if I can't remember, you can still remind me, right?" She knew it would pay well to cajole this man.Ao Chenyi wasn't polite with her either. He turned his hand over and pinched her soft face. His expression had improved considerably. There was a faint smile on his face as he asked, "If I tell you, can you really understand and remember what it is?""Of course I can!"

It seemed that at this point of the letter, the Empress couldn't continue anymore. There were only tear stains on the paper, followed by wide empty spaces.Then, the Empress said how reassured she was that Madam Ming would be taking care of her newborn. Madam Ming would be a fine mother. She had also asked someone to watch over Madam Ming and the newborn. Their statuses in the previous dynasty had vanished like smoke. Time was always moving forward and the changing of imperial dynasties was inevitable.The only tragedy was the eternal separation of her from her husband, and of her from her daughters.The only reason she had written the letter was that she couldn't help herself. If she never said anything, her child would never know the truth. That would have been for the best. Yet, she couldn't accept this, so she would hand the letter to the person who would be looking after Madam Ming. If Ning Ziying's identity was revealed to the world one d

She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress. She sent Qingyu and Mother Han to the manor and had them inquire about Madam Dowager's health in her place.

The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 672 News from Ming Feiyong
"The Empress discovered a secret tunnel under Chenyuan Palace by accident. She never told anyone about it. She even killed the maid that discovered the tunnel with her and accompanied her in walking through the tunnel. In other words, she was the only one who knew about it," Ning Xueyan explained.This was the Empress' secret. To prove it, she used Yun Luoluo's incident as an example. When Ning Xueyan was drugged in Chenyuan Palace, the Empress wanted to take her to a room. There, a man would sneak into the palace through the secret tunnel.If Ning Xueyan woke up and discovered herself in disheveled clothes in the presence of another man, she would surely panic. To protect her secret, she would surely agree with whatever the Empress wanted. The Empress wanted to use Ning Xueyan to force Ao Chenyi into accepting his "affair" with Yun Luoluo.Unfortunately, Ao Chenyi had appeared all of a sudden. She didn't dare to do anything with him around, so

Ao Chenyi didn't try to persuade her this time. This had bothered her for so long that she would continue to suffer for it if she didn't cry it out now. He held her tighter and allowed her to wet the front of his robe. She didn't brawl. All she did was close her eyes and let her tears stream down her face. When her tears finally dried, she sat quietly in Ao Chenyi's embrace for a long time.It was so quiet inside the room that she could finally calm down.Her hands were being held so tightly in Ao Chenyi's hand that she could feel the callus in his palm.

"It was and wasn't an accident. He could only blame himself. No matter what, he was the one who forced my hand and cornered me to this state. He ruined my everything. Him dying in my hands could be considered as his retribution."The Empress began to look calm again. She turned her head and stared at Ning Xueyan with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "I invited you here to ask you to let go of my family. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with my family. They're just a small and useless noble family. In exchange for their safety, I'll tell you a secret."Her voice had lost her previous agitation and anger, leaving only a sense of helplessness. She had never put any hope in her family. She thought that she would be able to help her people after gaining power but now that she was in trouble, she was worried that her family would be implicated and sentenced to death.She had resented her family countless times for marrying her off to the Empero
