Chapter 562 A Sudden Bloody Dagger
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning 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

"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

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

"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

The favored concubine of Prince Yi was assassinated. Besides, the princess, the consort, the second young lady of Lord Peace's Manor, and a few concubines given by the palace were involved. When this news was spread, almost no one believed it.But the major move Prince Yi's Manor conducted next made all the people so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.At first, the concubines of Prince Yi's Manor given by the palace died or were sent back to the palace. No Beautiful Lady given by the palace was left in Prince Yi's Manor. After that, Commandery Princess Xianyun got sick. To better help her recuperate, Prince Yi moved her to the quieter Bright Mind Garden.Most people had no idea about the layout of Prince Yi's Manor. The Bright Mind Garden, which even sounded quite abnormal, was indeed a bit quiet and secluded place. It was said that the day when Commandery Princess Xianyun was married into Prince Yi's Manor, Prince Yi did not spend the wed

"What? She has become a princess? That woman has even become a princess?" In the Bright Mind Garden, Commandery Princess Xianyun hit the table hard with her palm, and her face had turned dark. Only two days passed since she showed up the last time. But all her momentum and air seemed to have changed—she was no longer the gentle and charming woman."You are unwilling to accept the fact that she has become a princess, right? This is what you deserve. You harmed others as well as yourself. If you hadn't thought of such a thing, would Lord Peace's Manor have forced and sent me here? You were bitchy, and you dragged me down. Look at your 'good end' now! Why don't you go to die? If you are dead, I don't have to come here anymore."Yun Luoluo, who was sitting at the other end of the table, stared at Commandery Princess Xianyun with a sullen face, her eyes showing faint insanity and despair.She had come to her senses this time, and she wished to tear

Ning Xueyan didn't expect to see Xia Yuhang, much less here in front of her store. She was speechless when she saw Xia Yuhang turned his head around in astonishment. How could she run into him so coincidentally?She didn't think he had a hobby of buying cosmetics."Princess Ning." Xia Yuhang saluted her with a complicated look in his eyes. This woman was no longer the neglected Fifth Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor nor the consort with relatively low status in Prince Yi's Manor. The Emperor's imperial decree had made her Prince Yi's princess. Princess Xianyun might still be around, but she had fallen ill and couldn't handle any of harem's matters anymore.It was clear who wielded true power in Prince Yi's Manor.Ning Xueyan didn't think Xia Yuhang had anything to say to her. Ning Ziyan was just a concubine now. As in-laws, they couldn't be considered proper relatives. It was inappropriate for her to call him brother-in-law

Sapphire-colored embroidered brocade, white jade crown atop the head, handsome and elegant appearance, an amorous smile—this man was the very picture of a bewitching demon when he curled his lips. When he smiled enchantingly at her, his almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed.Though stunned, Ning Xueyan quickly calmed down. She walked to the table in the room and sat down. "Princely Heir, why did you invite me here? Do you have business with me?"She was certain that the one who summoned her was the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Min. In her past life, she had seen how extraordinarily ruthless this man could be.In the beginning, she was perplexed as to who would want to meet her, and in such a mysterious way too. When she ran into Xia Yuhang outside the store, she nearly thought it was him. She quickly dispelled the idea because Xia Yuhang wasn't that capable and he wouldn't act so mysteriously either.It was evident from h

"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.

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!"

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. Mother Han returned to Prince Yi's Manor afterward while Qingyu entered the palace to report to Ning Xueyan.It was inconvenient for Mother Han to live in the palace because she had a son to take care of.

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. He was Prince Yi, the late Emperor's beloved prince who grew up to be the infamous Demon King. Those who mentioned his name would often be frightened and alarmed.

"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
