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
“Do you think I’ll help you become an imperial merchant with these words?” Imperial Merchant! Why did she forget?! The medicine for the army was provided by the imperial merchants, and it was directly distributed by the court to various military camps. She must have been too cold to think just now. Xia Houmo was amused to see the excitement on her little face disappear immediately. “Sorry to disturb you, Your Royal Highness. Please excuse my retreat.” Su Muge packed up her little bag and was ready to get off. “Wait a moment.” Su Muge looked back doubtfully. “What else can I do for you?” “Leave your stuff.” “What?” Xia Houmo glanced at her bag. “Not for me?” Uh… Of course, Su Muge wouldn’t say no. But it was so strange for her to send him medicine. “If you don’t mind, you can h
In the palace. With a gloomy face, Infanta Ceylon was practicing the whip in the yard. And the long and thick whip was flapping in the air. “Bang!” Suddenly, the whip split the weapon shelf in half. With a sneer, Infanta Ceylon withdrew the whip, returned to the room, and sat down. Her maid hurriedly handed her a warm handkerchief to wipe her hands. “Your Grace, you’re so brilliant. In the whole Chu, nobody can use the whip better than you do.” Qingyu was a maid Infanta Ceylon brought from the fiefdom to the capital. And she had followed her for the longest time. Infanta Ceylon took a sip of tea. “Of course, the women in the capital are all so weak.” With flickering eyes, Qingyu put the pastry on the table, withdrew her smile, and frowned slightly, “How dare someone be so bold to provoke Your Grace?! After His Majesty granted Su Muge and Second Prince a marriage, Su Muge became more sup
With a bang, the arrow pierced fiercely into the tree behind Su Muge, with the tail of the arrow quivering in the wind. Su Muge opened her eyes and found her broken sleeve swaying in the wind. “Haha ...” Infanta Ceylon laughed out loud. “Su Muge, is it exciting? Are you afraid? If you kneel and beg me, I may be kinder to let you die more comfortably. With an arrow, I’ll let a child go.” Infanta Ceylon raised her chin. The guard untied the rope on a child. The child stood there trembling with tears in his eyes and dared not move. The next moment, Infanta Ceylon pulled the bow again. “Su Muge, I’ll be serious this time!” The arrow was aimed at Su Muge’s eyebrows. “Wait a minute.” Infanta Ceylon stopped. “Why? Are you afraid of dying?” Su Muge pressed her lips tightly. “I let you shoot at close range. An arrow for two children.” After
