Chapter 47 The Confession
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56There had been so many cases, but no matter how hard the officials investigated, there was no progress at all. In particular, it alerted Prime Minister Wei, who’s almost the most powerful man in the Congress. The old Prime Minister handled the cases in person and finally found the murderer after a few days. It was said that the murderer was an assassinator from the Kingdom of Kong. However, when he was found, he had already killed himself and left no further clue at all.
It was actually a long story.
In the solemn, elegant Prime Minister’s Mansion, there’s a dark, abandoned little courtyard sitting in a remote corner, totally incongruent with the warm atmosphere. The only stone table and chair in this yard looked old and shabby, in bad repair for years.
Right at this moment, servants surrounded the whole yard and guarded it strictly, and even a bird would find it hard to get in. A man’s miserable screams came from the only house near the yard w

At another corner, the man holding Wu Shuang in his arms was having a really hard time! Wu Shuang was in her sweet dream. Meanwhile, Xuan Zhi, as a healthy young man, was holding the woman he loved in his arms but couldn’t do anything. Only a saint or a eunuch would still feel nothing under such circumstances! He would have taken Wu Shuang away from here if it weren’t for the rain outside. Why did he have to be tortured like that? The moans, the heavy breaths, the sounds they made were echoing in the whole place! The erotic atmosphere was more and more arousing, and he was about to burn! However, before he almost lost control of himself, he let go of her and ran out to shower in the rain.Wu Shuang wasn’t really sleeping.

Pushed away by Wei Ruxuan, the masked man fell to the ground. Weirdly, he was unable to move, but Wei Ruxuan didn’t even take a look at him. He hurried to check if Wu Shuang was injured. “Wu Shuang, are you alright?” “I’m fine, Ruxuan. Thank god you’re here in time.” “You’re safe now. You have no idea how scared I was. I thought I would never see you again.” Wu Shuang leaned on him. Her face looked pale yet still lovely. “Ruxuan, do you love me?” “Yes, of course, I do. Wu Shuang, don’t you know my feelings for you?” “Then Ruxuan, will you kill people for me?” “Who?” “People who hurt me.” “Then I will. I will do whatever you want.”“Kill the person who just tried to kill me.” “Alright.” As soon as Wei Ruxuan finished his words, Xuan Zhi immediately put a sword in his hand.

Villain Princess Chapter 52 Singer Ruxin
Wind and sand blocked my view.I couldn’t see the person but heard her beautiful singing,Clean and sweet like an oriole’s chirping.The delight I felt was as much as the sorrow I had.I wondered how many hearts were broken for love,Since it was always so hard to find a soulmate.I wished everything was nothing but a dream.I wished life could still be a beautiful song under the moonlight,When I woke up.A small city on the border of the Empire of Yun, Feng City, was a remote place where the emperor was far away, and the birds flew freely. Since any traveler going through the city had to cross a large desert against the persistent wind, the city became isolated. Even merchants from nearby regions rarely visited it, let alone outsiders. Although it belonged to the Empire of Yun, Feng City was more like a small country cut off from the rest of the world. Its endless desert and dry weather did cause some incon

“Miss Ruxin, would you like to go with me?” Yun Hai carefully observed Ruxin’s expression, including any small hints on her face. Of course, he had noticed Ruxin was lost for a moment, which he secretly found pleasing. The more he looked at the woman in front of him, the more lovely she seemed to be. Yun Hai was older and wiser. He could tell that she wanted to go with him, and he also wanted her to come. Yet he still added, “Of course, I won’t force you if you’re not willing to come.” He started to play games with her! “If you don’t mind, I’d like to stay there for a few days.” There was no way she would say no. Ruxin had been planning this encounter for days. How could she let go of such an opportunity! Neither of them realized that it was actually not their first meeting. But only God knew if Yun Hai, Lord Yi, ever regretted it after his life was put in danger due to this beautiful encounter. A long time ago, before the old King Yun des

Curtsying to Lord Yi, the princess consort took the children and left the main hall. She was no longer young and beautiful, but she still had the charm of a mature woman. Ever since four years ago, Yun Hai had never touched her again. Right now, perhaps the only bond between them was their daughter. Pinching her fingers into her palm, the princess consort felt uncomfortable, but she had to pretend to be a tolerant wife. Yun Hai didn’t notice the pain of his wife. Maybe he had never taken her seriously. Now, as he met Ruxin, all his thoughts went on her. Feeling Ruxin’s upset behind her enchanting smile, he wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how to act. Eventually, he just stayed where he was, not knowing what to do. Adjusting herself quickly, Ruxin showed her sweet smile and looked seductive at Yun Hai. However, the more Yun Hai gazed at her, the faker he felt. Nevertheless, he didn’t want to expose it. He chose to patiently watch her do the per

Maybe it was his predestined fate to meet her. ...Melodious flute sound rang in the mansion. The flute sounded soft and sad.
