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
Su Muge ladled out the soy sauce chicken from the pot onto the plate. When she looked back, she saw Jinglan in a water-blue wide-sleeved robe without a belt standing at the door and looking at the chicken in her hand. He was so attracted that his eyes were both widened. Su Muge walked to him with the steaming chicken. “Try it.” “It smells so good.” Jinglan took over the soy sauce chicken and couldn’t wait to take a bite. “Well, it’s so hot ...” Su Muge twitched her eyes; he just ate it so casually. Wasn’t he afraid that it had been poisoned? Ali looked at her with a cool little face. Just as Su Muge wanted to say that it was not poisonous, he reached out to her. “Where is mine?” “...” “There is another one in the pot.” As soon as Su Muge finished her words, she felt a gust of wind in front of her. Before she could see what it was, Ali was already eating the c
“What did you say? My grandmother has arrived in Su Mansion?” Su Muge looked at Xinche and asked. Xinche nodded. “A little maid sent the message that Madam has gone over and you should go as soon as possible.” At the thought of her emaciated grandmother, Su Muge couldn’t help but be excited. “Well, comb my hair.” She usually liked to wear a ponytail casually in her yard. After dressing up, Su Muge came to the front hall. As soon as she walked outside the room, she heard some gentle sobs and Wang’s excited voice. “Sister, Su Mansion is so gorgeous. You are such a lucky dog. Now that you are in charge of Su Mansion, you must have a say. We’ll stay with you from now on. You haven’t been able to go back and see mother all these years, so now you shall take this opportunity to show filial piety to her.” Zhao had never expected that she could see Zhang again, so she was absorbed
Su Muge rapidly stepped forward to support Zhang who had been pushed by Wang. “Grandma, are you okay?” Zhang looked back at Su Muge apologetically. “It’s my fault. If I had known their malicious intention, I would never have let them come here.” Su Muge hinted Yueru to come and hold Zhang. “How could it have anything to do with you, grandmother? Some people are too ambitious and aggressive. How can you stop them?” “This marriage contract has been sealed in the county yamen. You can’t deny it!” While speaking, Wang folded the marriage contract and put it away. Su Lun narrowed his eyes. “Come on, bring me the thing!” Hearing the words, the guards who were guarding outside rushed in. Seeing so many people, Zhao De was scared to death. “You, what are you doing? How dare you snatch it?!” Su Lun raised the corner of his lips with a sneer and waved his hand gently.
“Do those of your Zhao family want to kill me? If His Majesty knows this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Su Lun wore a fierce look. When he was about to slap on Zhao’s face again, the door was slammed open. Su Muge walked in with a sullen face. “Do you think His Majesty doesn’t know yet?” Su Lun stared at Su Muge. “What did you say?” After Su Lun sent the Zhao family away last night, Su Muge always felt upset. She asked Xinlan to send Cheng Ran a message to pay attention to the situation outside. Not long after Su Lun returned, Cheng Ran delivered the news to her. “Father, you haven’t figured it out yet. Early in the morning, they stopped Princess Linghua who was on her way to the Imperial Palace. Do you think this matter can be hidden from His Majesty?” “What did you say? They stopped Princess Linghua?!” Su Lun was shocked; he couldn’t imagine those countrymen dared to do such a thing.
“Madam, Miss, please get off.” The road to the altar was too narrow for the carriage to get through, so they had to walk to it. The onlookers were blocked on both sides of the street. Su Muge looked up from afar and could vaguely see the altar. There was a large open space below the altar. All officials and their families stood by their ranks, so the Su family could only stand in the back. “His Majesty is coming ...” Hearing a sharp voice, everyone knelt. Su Muge squatted down and looked up slightly; a bright yellow figure appeared in a distance. Xia Hourui was wearing a golden dragon crown and a dragon robe which was more complicated than usual. The imperial astronomer bowed forward. “Your Majesty, it will be the auspicious time after a quarter of an hour.” Xia Hourui nodded and turned to step on the stone steps leading to the altar. The altar was nearly thi
“Miss, it is said that the altar was already in chaos. Fortunately, we have left quickly; otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to leave at this moment.” After getting the news, Xinche was still terrified at the thought of the riotous scene. “Send my order: nobody is allowed to get out of the mansion.” “Yes.” Su Muge sat in her room and suddenly thought of Xia Houmo’s words before he left for Xiangshan Mountain. He asked her to keep alive. Had he known that this matter would happen? King Dingxi had risen in rebellion in the end. No matter what the result was, she could do nothing about it. “Mumu, will your father be in danger?” Zhao had been restless after returning to Su Mansion with Su Muge. She felt guilty for ignoring Su Lun and Old Lady Su when they left. “Mother, father and grandmother are both well protected by the guards. They’ll be fine.” “Madam, Miss, Lord Su and Old La
Su Muge put the willow leaves behind Xia Hourui and waited. Then she took out some medicine powder from her medical kit and burned it with fire. Instantly, the room was filled with a smell of burning medicine. “Rustling” In a while, there were some strange sounds in the room. Su Muge moved Xia Hourui’s body to check the willow leaves under his body. Some had already been gnawed. “This, this is ...” Finally, Su Muge could be sure that Xia Hourui was poisoned by poisonous insects. “All the poisonous insects love willow leaves. Once they smell willow leaves, they can’t help getting out. But they move so fast that ordinary people can’t catch them.” “So, what shall we do?” Su Muge frowned; it was hard to handle indeed! “Eunuch Yi, there are troops reaching the palace gate!” “What?” Eunuch Yi was scared with a pale face. “H
