Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning Xueyan didn't pass out for long. She just felt weak and everything in front of her went black, and then fell down. When she woke up, she was nestled in the familiar arms. She looked up and saw a face that looked even more handsome because of being close to her, and the cold eyes on the face were closed at the moment.
Both of them were lying on the bed. Ning Xueyan moved slightly and looked sideways at him.
He closed his eyes quietly, with a strand of black hair on his face. His long slanted eyes were closed slightly. His features were as pretty as a picture, and his lips were as red as blood. His dark and long eyelashes were thick and long, without the cold and vicious vibe he usually exuded. He, who was in his quiet sleep, showed a hint of indifference on his handsome face.
"Do you want to kill him?" With his long eyelashes fluttering, he put his slender fingers on Ning Xueyan's neck where there was a small wound to which the ointment had

"Rest assured. I came up to the mountain today with my favorite concubine to pray for blessings. Unexpectedly, I saw Ao Mingyu bully my girl. It's unbearable to any man. I just slapped him, which is light punishment," Ao Chenyi said listlessly with a hint of coldness across his eyes."Your Highness's favorite concubine has also come. Where is she?" Ning Xueyan blinked her watery eyes and understood what Ao Chenyi meant. She hurriedly got up, looked around, and asked in confusion."Rest assured. Of course, my favorite concubine is in my courtyard. Yan'er, I'm sorry for making you feel aggrieved." She moved her eyes to look around, looking quite cute and cunning. At the sight of this, Ao Chenyi also raised his face and lazily pinched her ear.It meant that the person pretending to be Ao Chenyi's favorite concubine was not here, but in the courtyard where Ao Chenyi usually lived after coming up the mountain. Ning Xueyan didn't live in the courtyar

There was no sorrow or joy on his handsome face, but somehow made her feel that he was gloomy and lonely.He was the only one traveling alone in the secular world. In the empty wilderness, there was only the rolled dark brocade robe and the bright red flowers reflected on it which looked like a touch of darkness wandering in the bloody red hell."What's wrong? Are you afraid?" She didn't know when Ao Chenyi withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to look at her unwearied eyes and lifted the corners of his mouth to show a faint smile.Suddenly, Ning Xueyan shook her head solemnly, blinked her watery eyes and finally looked at Ao Chenyi's face. "Your Highness, rest assured. I'm not afraid!"Her words sounded strange and even not corresponding to Ao Chenyi's question. Nevertheless, her stubborn gaze and her active action of holding Ao Chenyi's hand firmly inexplicably convinced him that the fragile girl in front of him was telling the tru
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 453 Madam Dowager Came Aggressively to Denounce Ning Qingshan
"What? The Third Young Lady got the Fifth Young Lady involved in trouble?" Madam Dowager beat the table hard and stood up suddenly with the support of her walking stick. She was so angry that her face turned ashen. She had bet all her hope on the Fifth Young Lady, but she didn't expect that the Third Young Lady would do this to the Fifth Young Lady.She was originally delighted to hear that the Third Prince finally came to see Ning Qingshan, and specially told others not to disturb them. Based on the Third Prince's previous attitude, she could tell that he didn't care about Ning Qingshan at all. She had thought that Ning Qingshan had become useless in her plan. Unexpectedly, the Third Prince came here in person. How could Madam Dowager not be overjoyed?However, Madam Dowager didn't expect that things would come to this. Ning Qingshan intended to trap her sister by making the "ambiguous relationship" between the Third Prince and Ning Xueyan discovered. She

Ning Qingshan knew this matter was a big deal, so she tried her best to pretend that she had nothing to do with this. Regardless of her injured leg, she knelt on the ground with it. With her nose running and tears coming out, she was desperate to show her sincere feeling toward Ning Xueyan. By swearing up and down that she did nothing wrong, she tried to make Madam Dowager believe her, which was her only purpose.Perhaps it was because Ning Qingshan's expression was too sincere, Madam Dowager‘s manner relaxed a little. Though her face was still dark, she looked slightly different now."Grandmother, no matter how stupid I am, I know that we sisters are closely linked, and we all rise and fall together. I clearly know that if anything happens to Fifth Sister, Prince Yi will never forgive the people of the Lord Protector's Manor. I'm the co-consort appointed by the emperor, but I'm nothing in Prince Yi's eyes. Besides, I haven't yet married. If the Lord Protec
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 455 Someone Delivered the Message, Someone Went into action
As a matter of fact, Lanning didn't leave until she saw all that had happened. Although she couldn't see what was going on inside, she clearly saw Mammy Luo and the others kneel in the courtyard. After Madam Dowager went far away, she held the ointment in her hands, pretending to be in a hurry. Then she passed by their courtyard without glancing at them.Inside the room, Ning Xueyan was staring blankly at the rack of wisteria flowers outside the window.When they were chatting casually that day, Ning Xueyan didn't get into lengthy conversations with Ao Chenyi. She just couldn't understand why he would say that Ning Ziying had been engaged more than once. Sure enough, he wouldn't utter nonsense. But she didn't know this matter at all. Could there be anything else involved in this matter?Ning Xueyan had always thought that Grand Tutor Ya was powerful. Now, more and more, she felt that Grand Tutor Ya couldn't be underestimated. He was almost the

"What can I do for you?" The curtains of the window fluttered, blown into the room by the fierce wind swirling around the hillside. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" From time to time, the curtains hit the wooden frames, making the very loud sounds. Such constant noise gave people the creeps.It was especially terrifying when a figure was standing still on the windowsill in the dark, moonless night.All of a sudden, Ning Qingshan woke up from her dream. Before she could scream, she heard a cold and weird voice coming from the window. In the darkness, the figure there was facing her. However, she could see nothing except the outline of the figure."That's the one I'm waiting for!" Ning Qingshan nearly cried out with surprise. She raised her head, touched her swollen feet, and said in a hoarse voice, "I want Ning Xueyan to die!""You? Just with what?" The person in the dark sneered with unconcealed sarcasm. Ning Qingshan seemed to have sensed that

"If you have anything from your grandfather, you exchange it with me." But this time, after saying that, the man in black suddenly stood up as if he had felt something. He listened carefully and then decisively pushed open the window. His figure flashed away, leaving only his voice in the air.The wind blew in through the window, and it was cold."Miss, are you alright?" Another black shadow flashed into the room in a panic. Before she arrived, her voice came through. It was Xinmei."I'm fine!" Ning Xueyan had already calmed down and waved to Xinmei, who appeared by the window.Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ning Xueyan was fine and closed the window for her. Then she stopped at the window and listened carefully before wiping her sweat and coming over. Just now, when she saw a black shadow coming to Ning Xueyan's place, she was so scared that she almost lost her wits. She almost couldn't control herself from rus
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 458 The "Deep Affection" Between Ning Ziyan and Ning Yuling
Ning Ziyan and Ning Yuling went up the mountain together. They arrived at the mountain and paid homage to Madam Ming when they heard that Prince Yi had left with his favorite concubine. As Ning Ziyan stood on the high hall and watched Prince Yi's magnificent carriage disappear, a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes. She turned to Ning Yuling and said gently, "Yuling, let's go to see grandmother together now. Then we have to see Third Sister and Fifth Sister later.""I'll listen to you, my eldest sister," Ning Yuling said quietly. Anyone who knew Ning Yuling would never believe that this obedient person was the Second Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor who used to be arrogant and domineering.Ming Yuanhua, who was standing on the other side of the hall, quietly glanced at the pair of girls with cold eyes. He didn't like the people from Lord Protector's Manor, especially these two well-matched sisters. They were both vicious, but they pretended to be

"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.

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!"
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 674 Madam Dowager Liu's Message
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

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.

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
