2024-10-29 19:42:56"Qiu Huan, Commandery Princess Xianyun's maid, hit the wall and killed herself?" Ning Xueyan looked at Eunuch Zhu, astounded.
"Yes, it happened just now. Princess Yun sent a servant here to report, but I didn't see her," Eunuch Zhu answered respectfully. Ao Chenyi sat at the table, leaned back against the back of the chair, showed a little meaningful coldness, but didn't say anything.
"Why did she end her life by hitting the wall?" Ning Xueyan had to ask further.
"I heard that it is related to Second Young Lady Yun's matter. It seems that such a thing happened to the second young lady because of Qiu Huan's instigation, but I don't know the detail. That maid coming to report trembled and didn't say it clearly."
Ning Xueyan was speechless. She really felt quite speechless. Last time, Yun Luoluo's case had ended up with Xiangrong's death; this time, Yun Luoluo's case had made Qiu Huan dead. The two maids Commandery Princess Xianyun ha

The palace had heard of the news by the time Prince Yi's carriage arrived. Yun Luoluo was escorted out of Prince Yi's Manor, but brought to the palace by the Empress' servants on her way home.Ning Xueyan and Ao Chenyi separated on their way to the palace, with the former heading to Chenyuan Palace and the latter to the Emperor's study.One of the Empress' old eunuchs received Ning Xueyan at the door and led her in with a smiling face. Xinmei walked beside her.The old eunuch appeared to be an easygoing one. While leading the way, he said, "Princess Yi, I heard Second Young Lady Yun got into trouble at your manor today. She's just young and reckless. I once met her when she was still a child, when Empress Dowager was still around. She has a lot of growing up to do, it seems."A thought occurred to Ning Xueyan and she asked, "You've served the Empress Dowager in the past?""Yes. I served in the Empress Dowager in the pa

Ning Xueyan becoming Prince Yi's consort could be said as a complete accident. The Empress recalled that there was another lady that Prince Yi favored, but the unlucky lady had the nerve to upset him. Ning Xueyan ended up being the only choice left.Ning Xueyan becoming Princess Yi was even more incidental. The Emperor agreed to promote Ning Xueyan to calm Prince Yi's anger as well as to punish Commandery Princess Xianyun. It had nothing to do with her as a person. It could only be said that Ning Xueyan was a very lucky person to not only escape unscathed after the death of Prince Yi's favorite concubine, but also gain benefit.A princess who got her position purely from luck and didn't have Ao Chenyi's love shouldn't be this confident. Where did Ning Xueyan find the confidence to confront Lord Peace's Madam so aggressively?"Princess Ning, now that things have come to this, we have to come up with a solution, don't we? Yun Luoluo has undoubted

The Emperor arrived shortly after Ao Chenyi. Lord Peace's Madam had lost all right to discuss her family's fate; all she could do was kneel on the side and await punishment.Ning Xueyan was in much better spirits after drinking a cup of rejuvenating tea. Although she still looked drowsy, she didn't look like she would fall asleep at a moment's notice like before.The Empress spoke very little and maintained a gentle expression. From time to time, she would get the maids to fill the teacups for the Emperor and Prince Yi while she listened to their discussion quietly. Ning Xueyan was even quieter. Her head was lowered, looking docile and polite.The men's discussion had almost reached a conclusion in the study, but Ao Chenyi suggested to visit the Empress' palace out of the blue, saying that he heard that Lord Peace's Madam was there. He had something to tell her, so he came.With the Emperor and Prince Yi here, Lord Peace's Madam da

The emperor's edict was sent directly to the Bright Mind Garden.In fact, its meaning was very simple: Due to the flaws in her personal virtue, Commandery Princess Xianyun shall be demoted from a princess to a consort! This was the whole meaning of the imperial edict. Not long after marrying into Prince Yi's Manor, she had become a consort from a princess. And the situation showed that she was not favored and was even a consort that was watched. The eunuch, who had brought the edict, looked at those few eunuchs guarding the entrance of Prince Yi's Manor, shook his head, heaved a sigh, and went straight back to the imperial palace.Before getting married, Commandery Princess Xianyun had been among the top noble ladies in the capital. Even the ordinary princesses had not been comparable to her. After all, she was the young lady of Lord Peace's Manor, the parents' home of the Empress Dowager, which had had its heyday in the past. If it hadn't been for the earl

Senior concubines were lowly in all mansions, especially in the home of a royal clan like a prince's mansion. If their names were not recorded on the Royal List, they were the same as the ordinary concubines in the mansion. Although they had the lowliest title, it was still nothing in the eyes of the real royal family.Therefore, giving the concubines without titles or those with the senior concubine's title to each other was nothing eventful for the royal clans.Ning Qingshan was now to enter and live in Prince Xiang's Manor, but she would only be a senior concubine, even without a madam's position, so she was most likely to be given to others."You are now put under the name of Madam Ling. I remember Madam Ling is now a concubine in the lowest class in the mansion, so her biological daughter can only serve as a concubine now. Then what about you? Do you still expect to be promoted with such a background? You are so lowly, and you also did the

The three of them sat still in the pavilion, and the servants brought them tea and retreated to the outside. Ning Huaijing glanced at Ning Xueyan and asked with somewhat concern, "Fifth Sister, you don't look well. You are ill again, aren't you?"Ning Xueyan said with a small smile, "I'm fine. Thank you for your care, second brother. Did our father get any news?"What she was asking about was that Ning Zu'an had written a memorial to ask the emperor to make Ning Huaijing a princely heir. About this, Ao Chenyi had already told her, saying that the memorial had been sent and the news should be announced in one day or two."Our father says it might take a few days." Ning Huaijing smiled and shook his head. He was not anxious about it because he knew that Ning Zu'an had done this completely for the sake of Ao Chenyi; otherwise, it would have never been his turn.It was not that he really liked this title, but to better protect his moth

"You'll be the emperor, and I'll be the empress?" Ning Xueyan smiled extremely lightly."Right, I'll be the emperor, and you'll be the empress!" Wen Xueran had a stunning smile, which had a little gentleness and sincerity. It was enough to warm and soften all women's hearts.But Ning Xueyan was not among them."Do you believe that the military medallion can mobilize the squad of guards of the previous dynasty?" Ning Xueyan asked, with a bit scoff in her eyes."I don't!" Wen Xueran said calmly.Ning Xueyan's eyes seemed to be peaceful, but there were tornadoes in the depths of them, in fact. "He doesn't even believe that military medallion, the one which is said to have probably fallen into the hands of the Great Elder Princess. He doesn't even believe it, or this is a snare as I thought.""But why do you want to marry me? I'm a married woman!" Ning Xueyan stared attentively at Wen Xueran. She always though

As expected, the imperial edict announcing Ning Huaijing to be the princely heir of Lord Protector was issued the following day. Immediately, Lord Protector's Manor held a banquet. Ning Xueyan paid a visit here but left early with the excuse that she was not well. Therefore, Madam Dowager, who wanted to come here and chat more with her, had no chance to do so.When Ning Xueyan came to see Ao Chenyi, the latter was discussing something with his aides and staff on the second floor, so she went to wait for him on the third floor.The third floor was Ao Chenyi's living room. After leading her to the place, Eunuch Zhu retreated. Sitting on the couch, Ning Xueyan casually picked up a book and read it at the table, but she put it down after only leafing through a few pages and frowned. The room was quiet. Lanning brought her tea and stepped aside.When Ao Chenyi came upstairs after a while, he saw her leaning there with barely closed eyes as if she wa

"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 677 Sudden Revolt in the Palace
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!"
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 673 A Letter Within a Letter
The news of Ning Zu'an's death shocked everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor. Even though the title had been passed onto Ning Huaijing, Ning Zu'an was the patriarch of the family. Even without the title, he was still the most authoritative figure in the manor.Madam Dowager collapsed as soon as she heard the news of his death. 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. Instead of entering the palace with Ning Xueyan, she stayed in Prince Yi's Manor as the housekeeper. Ning Xueyan was prepared to release her from the manor when the situation stabilized in
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. Only she knew how difficult his life had been.Ao Chenyi was still young when he drew his elder brother's jealousy and suspicion. He was framed, imprisoned, and nearly died. His fiancee abandoned him at his lowest point, sought shelte

"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
