Chapter 558 The Incident Sparked By an Errand Maid
Ning Xueyan's watery eyes glinted with intelligence as she pulled the lapel of his clothes. "Didn't you say you'll leave the inner courtyard matters to me? Why won't you let me step in now?"
She understood his intention but she didn't want him to intervene in this kind of thing. After all, if she were involved, it would be at most a dispute between the wife and consort. But if he were to do it, he might cause other problems. There was no shortage of spies among the many nameless concubines living here.
It was apparent from the incident on their wedding night that the inner courtyard of the Prince Yi's Manor was an unsteady one. The only reason why those people didn't even dare to take action was Ao Chenyi's ruthlessness. However, the inner courtyard was ultimately still a harem. If Ao Chenyi were to intervene, it might give the Emperor an excuse to do the same.
Since she married him with the intention of helping him solve his problems, she woul

"You are Consort Ning, aren't you?" A delicate voice came from a woman wearing a white gauze dress. The strangest thing was that the woman wore a veil. Although her face could not be seen, it was sure that she was a stunning lady. Most importantly, her face was covered.The person who could show up with her face veiled in Prince Yi's Manor was no one but the mysterious favored concubine, whom Prince Yi regarded as his precious and exclusive property."You are..." Ning Xueyan was speechless first, but then smiled leisurely and asked naturally."A person without title or status, in whatever condition, she is not comparable to you, Consort Ning. I heard that you are from a renowned family, and the prince is sure to dote on you dearly in the future."These words were put gently, but they carried quite a sarcastic meaning. No doubt, this veiled lady was ridiculing Ning Xueyan by hinting that Ao Chenyi considered Lord Protector's Manor b
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 560 Panicky Again and Again
Commandery Princess Xianyun sat in the room of the Pear Flower Garden with a gentle smile, waiting for Ning Xueyan's return. Ostensibly, she behaved gracefully and smiled lightly while chatting casually with Lanning with a teacup in her hand. Of course, what she asked about was Ning Xueyan's daily life. She orally cared about her living from time to time and instructed that if anything was needed here, they should go and tell her.As soon as she finished talking, Ning Xueyan walked in with Qingyu.When she saw that Ning Xueyan frowned slightly with depression in her heart although she looked calm and Qingyu was behind her with an angry face, she knew very well what had happened but pretended to show that she knew nothing and said with a smile, "Sister Ning, I was bored staying in my place, so I came here to bother you. I hope you forgive me.""Princess, you are so courteous. Please sit down." Ning Xueyan sat down and asked Lanning to renew Comm

"Sister Ning, let's meet the prince first and plead with him. Who knows, he might spare you on the account that we never committed any major mistakes." Commandery Princess Xianyun grabbed Ning Xueyan's hand eagerly and attempted to pull her out.Ning Xueyan pulled away from her grip with force and said with a terrified voice, "I... I'm not going. I'm... afraid of meeting the prince."There was nothing unexpected about her words. Never mind a woman like Ning Xueyan, few court officials could say that they weren't afraid of Prince Yi. The Princess, an ambitious woman who believed that she would rule as an Empress in the future, was much braver but even she was cautious in front of him.Ning Xueyan was born frail and it was obvious to everyone that she was just a weak, slender woman. Even if she was more courageous than most people, how much braver could she be? Besides, Ao Chenyi had stormed out of her room in anger last night. She probably didn'
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 562 A Sudden Bloody Dagger
Ning Xueyan followed Commandery Princess Xianyun into the courtyard. The eunuchs closed the door behind them. After all, the prince had ordered that people couldn't easily meet the lady in this yard. Of course, their master agreed to meet the Princess and Consort Ning herself, so the responsibility wasn't theirs to bear."Greetings, Your Highnesses." The woman with the white veil seemed pretty courteous. She saluted them both at the door of her room."I'm free today, so I thought I'd visit you with Sister Ning. If you need anything in your yard, feel free to tell me. We can't keep troubling the prince for matters of the inner courtyard or I'd be too embarrassed to call myself the princess," the Princess said affectionately.She didn't mention a word about coming here to help Ning Xueyan apologize.That had been her sister in disguise and had nothing to do with this lady in front of her. Naturally, the less that was said about it, t
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 563 Who Told the Truth?
"How did she kill my dear concubine?" Ao Chenyi asked, locking his dark, bottomless pupils on Commandery Princess Xianyun's face."I don't know either. When we came in, we hadn't gone very far before this lady suddenly screamed and collapsed while clutching her chest. And Sister Ning... She was also scared. This dagger fell from her hand," the Princess immediately replied, looking disturbed.Whoever had experienced such a thing would have such an expression."What... say you?" Ao Chenyi looked up and stared at Ning Xueyan calmly."Your Highness, please get her out of here for treatment first. If she can still speak, I won't have to go through the trouble of explaining myself," she replied nonchalantly.Ao Chenyi raised his hand noncommittally and an imperial physician hurried over. He squatted down and immediately treated the veiled woman.The moment the imperial physician felt the woman's pulse, he exclai
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 564 Who's the Murderer?
Commandery Princess Xianyun was still smiling as gently as ever, appearing completely normal on the surface. Her heart, however, was inexplicably pounding in nervousness. She didn't expect Ao Chenyi to take the testimonies of mere concubines so seriously as if he was in court. He even had them sign off on their testimonies.Since when would Ao Chenyi get signed testimonies from people he wanted to deal with?The Princess watched as a eunuch walk over and get the concubines to sign off their testimonies before turning to the other women kneeling in the courtyard.As the concubines placed their fingerprints on their testimonies one by one, the Princess' expression changed drastically.He didn't have to go so far if all he wanted was to execute Ning Xueyan!The door swung open with force and two guards entered, dragging a woman wearing white clothes and a white veil in with them.The Princess was shocked to s

But she was just a maid. No matter how fast she was, she was not faster than the guard's hand. A guard beside Yun Luoluo instantly caught her sleeve, took her back, and threw her on the ground."Guards, take them." Ao Chenyi put on an evilly cold expression. As he waved his hand, a few ferocious guards came and took away these concubines who came here to give testimonies, Yun Luoluo, and Xiangrong. Commandery Princess Xianyun was about to say something when two eunuchs came over."Princess, please go back to your courtyard." A eunuch raised his wooden face, looking at Commandery Princess Xianyun expressionlessly. The expression was not respectful at all and even aggressive.Commandery Princess Xianyun had been used to being respected, so she became sullen, ready to fly into a rage."Please go back to your courtyard, princess." Another one looked at Commandery Princess Xianyun with the same wooden expression as if he was looking at
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 566 The Edict of the Emperor
"Blessed by God, the emperor says in his edict, 'Consort Ning of Prince Yi is humble, virtuous, pure, and graceful... so she is specially granted the title 'Princess of Prince Yi'. Over!"A eunuch finished reading the imperial edict with a long voice. First, he took a look at Consort Ning, who was kowtowing to express her gratitude on the ground. No, she should be called Princess of Prince Yi now. But then he concentrated on the extremely handsome Prince Yi sitting on the only chair in the great hall.The late emperor gave the order that Ao Chenyi could choose not to kneel to the incumbent emperor when seeing him. Since he didn't need to kneel to the emperor himself, he didn't have to stand respectfully when meeting such an imperial edict. Moreover, he even had a seat either in the emperor's study or the throne hall."Prince, do you think..." the eunuch said with a flattering smile, afraid that the prince was not satisfied. However, the imperia
