Xia Houkun looked up and met Su Muge’s eyes. After giving her a reassuring look, he turned to Infanta Ceylon.
“What if I have to intervene?”
Infanta Ceylon sneered. “It depends on your ability!” After that, she pulled the whip out of Xia Houkun’s hand.
Xia Houkun originally thought that Infanta Ceylon would behave for his sake. However, she was quite arrogant and outrageous. Since she dared to make him lose face in front of so many people, he wouldn’t let her have her way!
The two instantly began to grapple.
Seeing a prince and an Infanta fighting in his mansion, Minister An was afraid that it would be known to the Emperor.
“Come on! Come on, separate Second Prince and Infanta Ceylon! Hurry up!”
There were also many guards with great martial art skills in An Mansion. A group of people stepped forward and managed to separate the two.
Minister An’s chubby face was covered w
Infanta Ceylon was in danger now; if she was not treated timely, she would probably die in An Mansion! Before Minister An could speak, another maid rushed over. “My Lord, Infanta Ceylon has been out of danger now. The doctor says he can save her.” Hearing this, Minister An immediately changed his face. “Come on, Su Muge intends to murder Infanta Ceylon. Arrest her!” The guards of An Mansion stepped forward to catch Su Muge, but Su Muge stared at them coldly. “Don’t touch me! I can walk by myself!” When Su Muge left, she winked at Yueru who had just come over, hinting that she should not let Zhao get involved. Knowing her meaning, Yueru could only grit her teeth and watch her being taken away. Xia Houkun took a deep glance at Su Muge with his eyes darkened. “Humph, she is troublesome at first glance. How could such a money-losing thing be born in the Su family!” Old Lady Su
Looking at the letter paper turning to ashes, Donglin mourned for the bandits for a while. His Royal Highness was very angry, so the bandits would be doomed! ... Su Muge sat in the cell. The prison was dark and damp, surrounded by walls with a door and a high skylight. The ground was covered with scattered wet straw. And there were some rats and cockroaches running on the straw from time to time. As the winter was coming, the prison was even colder than outside, so Su Muge could only curl up to make herself not so cold. Three days ago, she was taken away from An Mansion by Jing Zhaoyin’s men and directly put in jail. “Bang!” With a series of footsteps, the door of the cell was opened and two officers came in. “My Lord orders to interrogate Su Muge.” Su Muge didn’t resist, allowing them to take her out of the cell. Hea
King Dingxi was wearing a robe embroidered with a five-claw golden dragon; Infanta Ceylon followed him into the hall. “Your Majesty, pay my respects to you.” “Your Majesty, pay my respects to you.” The Emperor glanced at the two with his dim eyes and revealed a faint smile on his face. “Get up.” “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Infanta Ceylon seemed to be no different from her state a few days ago; she was just much quieter than before. “Ceylon, you have recovered?” “Your Majesty, I’m much better.” “You remained unconscious for so long and woke up as soon as your father came. You are really connected father and daughter.” King Dingxi stepped forward and knelt. “I entered the capital without permission. Your Majesty, please punish me.” The Emperor’s look was a bit gloomy. “You are just for Ceylon. I’ll let you go this time. Since you have
Zhao was startled and looked at Su Muge in surprise. “What are you talking about? Leave? Where can we go? Stop talking about this in the future. If your father hears it, I’m afraid he will be angry.” Su Muge smiled noncommittally and changed the topic. “Haitang is going to be raised as a concubine by your grandmother.” Zhao suddenly said. She didn’t want Su Muge to know this, but she thought she had grown up and should learn to deal with it if her husband wanted to take a concubine in the future. Su Muge was not surprised by this result. According to Old Lady Su’s attitude towards Haitang, she wouldn’t let her be an inferior concubine. However, whether she was superior or inferior, she was a concubine after all.“Okay.” “She seems to be a good girl, but she also has her scheme.” Without a scheme, she wouldn’t have followed Old Lady Su to the capital. If she wanted to stay here, she would
“Miss, are you going to the restroom?” Yueru’s voice came from outside the door. Su Muge loosened the dagger in her hands. “No, I’m just getting up for a drink. It’s okay. Go back to sleep.” “Yes.” ... “Your Royal Highness, there is a message from Yanxia pass.” Donglin hurriedly walked into Xia Houmo’s room with a letter. They had wiped out the bandits on the mountain and were now on their way back to the capital. “Give me.” Xia Houmo opened the letter and read it. “Your Royal Highness, what happened over there?” Zuowei asked anxiously. Under the candlelight, his dark eyes were flickering and his slender fingers crumpled the letter paper into pieces. Donglin took a deep breath. “A mysterious troop is reported to have appeared and have been raiding the towns and villages near Yanxia pass.” “No troop has been sent to ar
“Ceylon, stop!” A fierce shout resounded in the darkness. King Dingxi was striding to them, with a pair of eagle eyes fixed coldly on Infanta Ceylon. Infanta Ceylon frowned and withdrew her strength. But the barbs on her whip hooked on the guard and tore off the entire front part of his rode. “What are you doing here?” King Dingxi stared at Infanta Ceylon and asked with a chilling tone. Infanta Ceylon sneered. “Father, you’ve brought brother to the capital. Is it wrong for me to see my brother as his sister?!” “There’s no need for you to worry about your brother. Send the infanta back to the palace.” “Yes.” Two ghostly figures flashed out of the darkness in front of Infanta Ceylon. “I can go back, but you have to give her to me!” Infanta Ceylon pointed directly at Su Muge with her whip. Su Muge looked up at the angry face of Infanta Ceylon and raised the corner of her mout
“Your Grace, don’t be mad. She’s just a little maid. And she has already taken out the best tea of our mansion to serve you. If you are dissatisfied, it must be my fault.” Su Muge glanced at the maid who was kneeling on the ground. “Go out.” “Thank you, the eldest Miss.” Infanta Ceylon narrowed her eyes coldly. “I’m instructing a maid. How dare you interrupt me?!” Su Muge lowered her eyes. “Your Grace, if you teach your own maid a lesson, I won’t say a word. But she is a maid of Su Mansion after all. If you have any dissatisfaction, I’ll give her a lesson afterward.” “You!” Infanta Ceylon was so angry that she stood up and wanted to hit her. Seeing this, a maid behind her promptly stepped forward and stood in front of Su Muge. “Your Grace, you are here to invite Miss Su to go to the palace. Why do you get angry?” The maid was short but powerful; she held Infanta Ceylon’s hand tightly, making her unab
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” With a low but powerful bell ringing, the pedestrians on the street stopped and looked up in the same direction. Su Muge revealed some doubts in her eyes. “Where is the ringing bell?” “It’s the divine bell! The divine bell is ringing!” Someone among the people shouted, and the people on the street cheered up instantly. “What is the divine bell?” Su Muge was even more puzzled. Xinlan heard Su Muge’s murmuring. “Miss, you don’t know the divine bell?” Su Muge shook her head. “What is that?” “It’s not surprising that Miss don’t know. I also didn’t know until I heard about it from others. The divine bell was created after the founding Emperor of the Chu consulted the gods. It is said that it can get connected to the gods. Now that the divine bell is ringing, the gods must have some instructions!” Seeing Xinlan’s uncontrollable excitement, admir
