The boy aside immediately stopped her and ignored Ruxin. He coaxed the six-year-old girl to walk her away, “Yunyun, it’s not worth it to get your dad mad because of a low-life woman. Let’s go play elsewhere.”
Ruxin didn’t care what the boy was saying. After all, she had already been guilty because her plan, once completed, would cause them harm. But all of a sudden, she saw Princess Consort Yi hiding around the corner, eyes full of pride. This made things different. Ruxin had to keep playing the role of a mean homewrecker now. Quickly adjusting herself, she smiled with a touch of irony, “When I give birth to the heir of Lord Yi, you will be kicked out of here and live on the streets. We’ll see who’s the real low-life person.” Ruxin bent over and touched Yun Youyun’s cute little face, scaring the little girl straight into crying. Immediately hugging his little cousin to comfort her, the boy stepped away with the girl from Ruxin.
“Ruxin, do you know
“Xier, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. Besides, I have already drunk the poisonous wine. I will soon die. I just want to have a nice talk with you.” “What do you want to say?” “I have always known that you want to kill me.” “You know it?” “I also know that you have arranged a prostitute to sleep with me every night. You only come back early in the morning.” “Then why do you still...?” “I didn’t touch her. I also arranged someone to play my role and sleep with her to finish your big show.” “What? Why do you do so?” “To make you relieved! More importantly, to make you happy! However, I don’t want to touch any other women after I meet you. Therefore, I could only hire someone to play my role.” “Hai, you...” “Actually, I have always known everything.” “You...you are such a fool.” “Yeah, I’m a fool, and I am will
“Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...” In the darkness, as the world-known prophecy was uttered by a low, magnetic male voice, candles were lit all around. The lanterns on the top illuminated the stage below. On the stage, corpses were lying all over. Dressed all in white, a sixteen-year-old girl walked in under the light. She looked pure and beautiful, wearing a simple pearl hairpin on her head. Looking at the dead bodies all around, she was beyond despair. Slowly, she approached a middle-aged couple who were holding each other. Without any music, on the unusually quiet stage, the girl began to sing. Soft but heart-breaking, her singing was beautifully painful, like a dagger stabbed into the audiences’ hearts. “Behind the gate is an aggrieved country. Alone in hell on earth shall be my tragic story.”
Many thought they didn’t have the opportunity to see Wu Nian’s show before he left, but only two days ago, the news came out that there was an extra show. After hearing that, many people lined up for tickets. Today, people arrived early in the morning to occupy their seats. The theatre was overcrowded. Before the show started, Wu Nian, who was getting prepared backstage, had heard some good news. The special guest, Lord Xiaoyao, was here today. Lord Xiaoyao was a mysterious man! It was said that he was not only granted by the late King Yun the title but also the privilege to enjoy the royal salary without attending any meeting in the Congress. Because he had been traveling for years, few people had heard of him, let alone seen him in person. Who would have known that he was here today for the show?The entertainer Wu Nian’s wonderful performance definitely deserved his visit! However, no one knew if Lan Li was here just for the show.
Looking down at Wu Nian’s peevish face, Xuan Zhi bent to kiss the top of his head, “I’m sorry that I made you worried. It was my fault.” “Zhi, never leave me. I was really afraid that you might disappear.” “I won’t. I will always be by your side.” “I don’t believe you. Yue said it, too, but he broke his promise.” “I’m not like him. I always keep my words,” Xuan Zhi said, raising the middle three fingers of his right hand, “I swear to all the gods that I, Xuan Zhi, will stay with Shui Yinzhu forever. If I break my promise, I will die in a terrible way, and my soul will vanish...” Frightened by what he said, Wu Nian immediately covered his mouth with his small hands, not allowing him to say a word more. “No, no, no. Forgive him, gods. He was just joking.” Wu Nian looked into Xuan Zhi’s eyes. “Zhi, you can’t make random vows anymore,” said he seriously. “OK.” “Zhi, I’d rather you b
Wu Nian was lying on the ground in the rain. Lan Li ran out a few moments later. He held this drenched man on the ground in his arms and rushed to the inn. Lan Li didn’t discover the truth—Wu Nian, who should be in a coma in his arms, showed a tricky smile to Xuan Zhi hiding in the tree when Lan Li didn’t notice. Xuan Zhi had been trying his best to control himself on the tree. He saw Wu Nian’s tricky smile. Xuan Zhi couldn’t stay angry anymore and smiled. He could never deal with Wu Nian. The only thing he knew was to spoil him! He sighed and continued to play the role of an invisible man. Holding Wu Nian in his arms, Lan Li felt he was too thin. This man was like a woman. Lan Li gently put him on the bed and wanted to help him change his sodden clothes. However, Wu Nian woke up weakly when Lan Li wanted to take his clothes off. Wu Nian’s eyes were filled with confusion, and he kept blinking his eyes. He was dripping wet, which looke
Lan Li was so excited at this moment. He finally saw his Sister Yinzhu again. The guilt, restlessness, longing, and missing for so many years turned into an excited hug. He hugged Wu Nian. His tears rolled in his eyes uncontrollably but did not fall, “Great... you are fine. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Don’t move. Just let me hold you for a while, okay?” Wu Nian felt disgusted in the arms of other men, but he didn’t feel that way about Lan Li. This hug had a warm feeling, and he was like his family. It’s just that such warmth didn’t last long. He recalled the collapse of his kingdom and his family when he was only nine-year-old. He had trusted Lan Li, his Brother Li, the most. However, he had betrayed his kingdom. The Kingdom of Shui collapsed because of him. Wu Nian gradually clenched his hands. He pushed the man who was hugging him away and turned around. Wu Nian now was not that simple little princess. Seeing Lan Li’s reaction and the str
More than 30 years ago, the Kingdom of Yun was still one of the five kingdoms. It was a kingdom that was neither the largest nor the smallest. At that time, the five kingdoms sometimes had wars. However, they still coexisted peacefully on the surface. The imperial families of the five kingdoms even had the custom of political marriages to maintain such kind of superficial peace. At that time, King Yun was still the Crown Prince. He was young and handsome, looking harmless. The domineering arrogance hadn’t shown up in his eyes yet. He looked completely different from Yun Su. Their appearance was different, but their gentle temperament was very similar. However, they were two different kinds of gentlemen. Yun Su was ruthless inside but gentle on the outside. In contrast, King Yun, who was still Crown Prince Yun at that time, was truly gentle from the inside to the outside. Crown Prince Yun was born in a complex royal family. He shouldn’t have been so
The fight on the corridor on the second floor became more and more fierce. People were fighting, but the aisles in the corridor were too small. From time to time, people were thrown down on the first floor, which had affected the first-floor lobby filled with laughter. This was the largest brothel in Huaiyang City in the Kingdom of Yun. People came to have fun. Now there was a fight, and many people started to watch the scene of bustle. In the meantime, many people felt scared, so they escaped. The procuress came out to calm people down. However, there were so many people, and she could not stop them. The prostitutes were also panicked. They stopped their guests and yelled, “You haven’t paid me yet.” The procuress could only say to the manager next to her, “Find the lady as soon as possible!” The fight on the second floor was still going on. No matter how powerful an elephant was, a lot of mice could still kill it. Crown Prince Yun’s group was tota
