Once the matter regarding the third prince was thrown over to Lord Pan , Shen Ping felt that he could once again breathe and happily shared Chen Chu Chu 's excitement of Shen Qin's arrival .
Even Shen Yu was much more happier than she was before with Chen Min Min 's continous maniacally raving . She would everyday order the servants to clean the blessings courtyard and would ask the housekeeper to purchase the freshest meat in the capital .
Shen Qin 's husband ; Xi Jingming village was at just two days distance , and Shen Qin's letter arrived three days ago meaning that Shen Qin will be arriving today !
Chen Chu Chu made every thing perfect not wanting to upset her daughter even in the slightest ; she even made sure to plant some begonia's from Shen Miao's courtyard .
of course those flower were taken without Shen Miao's consent but Chen Chu Chu was used to throwing her weight around and didn't care about the weak and frail mother daughter p
Shen Ping was absolutely horrified; kneeling like the others ministers , Shen Ping could feel his teeth chattering . At the end the one thing that he feared; finally happened . Thankfully , he made Lord Pan take this brun for him .Shen Ping slowly raised his head but once his eyes laid on Lord Pan 's body or what remains of it ; he involuntarily shuddered, if he didn't make Lord Pan his human shield then this would be him! Ah , what would have happen to him , no matter how much he helped the third prince ; Shen Ping was well aware of his worth in the eyes of the person be served. One mistake and Feng Tian Ye wouldn't even bother to look at the years of his services before beheading him and making an example out him ."So " Feng Tian Ye said in a drawling voice "none of my faithful ministers could whip up an antidote for the poison but it only took a day for my dear seventh brother to find that eccentric and have him make an antidote , so why in the
Cough " "cough" "cough"Shen Xinyi gazed at the black blood that she was coughing out from the last three days , her limpid black eyes held a trace of malicious intent , no wonder she couldn't feel a trace of spirit power in her body .In Ming Chu dynasty only men were allowed to train their inner energy while the women were left to control the internal courts . However; some special exceptions were made for daughters of The general 's family . Like her mother and the Empress who were born with extreme internal power .Shen Xinyi would have left the matter of internal energy at rest if not for her mother's poisoning. As a poison master she needed to raise her rank of internal energy to third rank before she could finally detox the poison from her mother's body , the medicines from the future can only help her remove poison but they will not help in recovering her mother's broken dantian . Shen Xinyi knew that her mother was an extremely proud woman before she ma
Gazing outside through the imperial carriage; Shen Xinyi was still stupified.They were still talking about visiting the Southern black forest and now she was on her way to the said forest? How did things accelerated so quickly , ah?Feng Tian Ming who was sitting beside Shen Xinyi could feel her blaming glare but said nothing .It was once in a lifetime opportunity for him ok! They have been engaged for so long but he and Shen Xinyi never spent some alone time together .If Shen Xinyi knew that this trip was Feng Tian Ming 's idea of romantic date then she would definitely roll her eyes and call him stupid ."I can't believe we cleared two days journey in an hour " Shen Xinyi was pleasantly surprised; generally it took three to four days to arrive at the Southern black forest; but with Feng Tian Ming 's special divine stallion they arrived to the southern black forest in just two days ."humph , how could this prince let his wife suffer by letting her ri
The bare branches spiked into the sky - no sign of life to be found anywhere. It was so dark Shen Xinyi was barely able to see where she was going. There were only small sounds of rustling bushes and the howl of the wind. Shen Xinyi didn't know what laid in the dark forest, all she knew was that it wasn't going to be a peaceful journey.Feeling a throbbing pain in her chest, Shen Xinyi blamed it on her broken wrist . There was no way she was going to feel upset about Feng Tian Ming throwing himself over Qi Jiao's body for protecting her ."Growl"Shen Xinyi stiffened but then relaxed she was invisible there was no way any mystical beast will be able to sniff her out , her bracelet provides enough protection to her in case of danger ."Awu ""Growl"Slowly and carefully she made her way towards the noise , from the growling she knew that one of the two beasts was severely injured , if possibl
Shen Xinyi rushed forward in an attempt to escape from the cave ; if the assasins wwre following behind her she wouldn't like to be caught up in a dead end .Once she reached the cave opening a small childlike voice stopped her from stepping ahead."Master stop! Down! Down!"Shen Xinyi knew that once the contract between human and beasts were formed they can communicate with each other through spiritual connection . Though what the little fox said was mostly incomprehensible yet Shen Xinyi understood the gist of it . The little fox was asking her to look down .A silk like thread was attached to both the ends of the cave , it was so thin that if not for the little fox ; Shen Xinyi wouldn't have noticed it at all. The thin thread was later connected to a number of crossbows .Damnit .That stupid brat wanted to turn her into a living breathing human procupine!Shen Xinyi bit back a curse and slowly and carefully jumped over the threa
" Princess, let me help you "seeing Shen Xinyi getting in trouble with dressing her wound , Heng Heng couldn't sit still and took over the job . The wound was so deep and horrid that even Heng Heng couldn't help but tremble ." Sit still Princess, this will hurt " not wanting to startle Shen Xinyi; Heng Heng gave a light warning however Shen Xinyi didn't even flinched when Heng Heng cleaned her wound ; and why would she ? This wound was something that she did to herself .Yes, She wounded herself on purpose. When the entire group reached the scene of ten grown up men being murdered ; Shen Xinyi couldn't appear in front of them without even a slightest injury, if she did ; Qi Jiao would have definitely tried to bring trouble to her thus ; Shen Xinyi used the same dagger that she used to silence Qi Jiao 's maid to create certain injuries on her body , not to mention the maid 's blood was also splashed on her body . If she didn't had a ' huge inj
"Go back ; Bai Ze " It has been three days since Shen Xinyi went into cultivating and since then Bai Ze has been kneeling outside her courtyard . Heng Heng didn't had any sympathy for him but seeing him kneel continuously for three days made her feel slightly guilty .Bai Ze was beaten black and blue before he arrived at the Princess Ming Mansion but even with all the injuries he still insisted to keep on kneeling in apologising to Shen Xinyi . However it was his bad luck that Shen Xinyi went inside her space of the bracelet and locked herself into cultivation .However except from Heng Heng none of Shen Xinyi 's servant felt apologetic towards Bai Ze . Even though Heng Heng was tight lipped ; Shi Shi couldn't keep a secret even if her life depended on it thus , it wasn't long before the entire Princess mansion knew of Bai Ze abandoning his mistress for their former master .The life of servants were just like that , the
"Here have this" Feng Tian Ming placed a peeled egg in Shen Xinyi 's bowl before he filled her bowl with enough meat and soup .Shen Xinyi felt an upcoming headache, her bowl was now filled to the brim was on its verge to explode ,some more pieces of meat and it was going to topple. Shen Xinyi knew that Feng Tian Ming was doing this to make her speak to him but she wasn't willing! Not to mention what kind of attitude was this prince displaying? wasn't the seventh prince someone who was aloof cold and dethached? since when a person with a cold temperament peeled eggs for some one?Feng Tian Ming however could careless about Shen Xinyi 's grievances , he had seen his father performing a song in respect for his mother the Empress, so compared to the Emperor; he, the seventh prince was still preserving his dignity .Thankfully; the Emperor didn't know what his youngest son thinks about him or else he would be furious enough to whomp his youngest s
" Sister, we should look for third miss soon even if second miss is not with her, but we should still check" said Han shi softly, fully exerting her dainty white lotus aura "I just came back from the men's banquet, many of the honorable guests are drunk too and they are resting in the men's quarters. The alcohol in our family is too strong and so perhaps - I don't want to make any assumptions but it's still safe than being sorry"She had deliberately pointed out that the male guests were drunk and were sleeping in their resting quarters, which was close to the banquet hall. In case Shen Xinyi and Shen Miao really got drunk and mistook the men's resting quarters as female ones what would happened?Luo Tong's eyes sharpened as she looked at Han Shi.Chen Chu Chu shook her head and admonished, Han Shi" what kind of non sense are you talking about? Our Shen family raised our daughters with nothing but ideal teachings and morals, they will never do something l
On the other side of the female guests, no one knew what trouble Chen Chu Chu was brewing, now that Shen Xinyi wasn't in the room, the only person who got ignored was Luo Tong. These ladies were Chen Chu Chu's friends and would naturally be on her side whether she was with them, or not. So even when Chen Chu Chu left the banquet hall, neither of them went ahead and conversed with Luo Tong. Even though they couldn't ridicule Luo Tong because of Luo Yaxian, together they worked hard to make Luo Tong feel sick and upset. They purposely ignored her and treated her coldly, they talked with Shen Yu and Shen Qin and even pretended to care about Liu Shi and Shen Rui, by speaking a few words to them. Only Luo Tong was ignored.Luo Tong wasn't angry, she was the granddaughter of the heavenly doctor Luo Yaxian and the daughter of the God of War, the attitude of these madams of small houses never bothered her before, so while the madams and their daughter conversed with their Shen
In the room that far overlooked the man's quarters, Shen Yu sat on the couch, though she was surrounded by numerous ladies of her age, she hardly listened to what they were saying, instead, all her attention was on the man’s quarters where Shen Xinyi was going to lose both her virtue and her marriage!Chen Chu Chu who was sitting beside her daughter noticed this oddity of hers and immediately coughed to remind Shen Yu,” you need to act like you know nothing of today’s matter or else things will go troublesome, you are smarter than this Yu’er” Chen Chu Chu whispered so softly as she tucked the lock of Shen Yu’s hair behind her ear that no one other than Shen Yu heard what she said, with her simpering smile and gentle actions, no one doubted her instead they all thought that Chen Chu Chu was speaking of something private to her daughter.Shen Yu eased her expression but she was still feeling a bit restless “ mother, are you
On the other hand, Chen Xiang was anxiously waiting for Shen Miao and Shen Xinyi. She felt really restless as she walked back and forth behind the moongate that joined the guest's sleeping quarters. She was so nervous that she almost made her accomplice go dizzy." Sister Chen don't you worry, the plan is completely flawless, nothing would go wrong, second mistress and third mistress will be coming soon. You should rest at ease and stay still what if they hear you ?" the young maid behind her couldn't help warn Chen Xiang.This moongate faced the courtyard with the bamboo forest, for the sake of their plans, Chen Chu Chu and Shen Yu have worked really hard. Even though it was really according to the customs to hold a banquet next to men's sleeping quarters. Chen Chu Chu and Shen Yu were willing to take the risk. They were willing but Chen Xiang was not, she was sure that something will definitely go wrong - the current second mistress, she doesn
The expressions of the madams who were conversing with Chen Chu Chu turned ugly, of course, they knew that Chen Chu Chu has been demoted to a concubine from the position of the secondary wife but they have been socialising with Chen Chu Chu for more than a decade, how can they start sucking up to Luo Tong just like that? Not to mention who was Luo Tong? She was the apple of the eye of Luo Yaxian, the legendary miracle doctor who don't give face to anyone other than the Imperial family. For a decade they sucked up to Chen Chu Chu while silently dissing Luo Tong behind her back, they have spent so many efforts in siding with Chen Chu Chu, how can they just give it all up without getting anything in return? With Chen Chu Chu they might at least be able to get some benefits but with Luo Tong, this legendary heroine - they might not receive anything at all! Just when the atmosphere was getting stale, and suffocating, Chen Min Min arrived with her mother Liu Yanxiao, the t
Shen Yu never wanted to listen to Chen Chu Chu‘s advice but she understood her status in the family, her grandmother and father loved to dote on her but that was only because she was ‘ born ‘ with the phoenix destiny if not they wouldn't have bothered with her at all. Now that she received the warning look from her mother she understandably looked away from Feng Tian Ming’s body even though she didn't want to! On what basis was she being asked to turn her gaze away from Feng Tian Ming’s body? While Shen Xinyi that bitch could stand next to him? Why? Why was she given as a sacrificial lamb to Feng Tian Ye?Shen Yu’s heart went cold, like her father she was born with high aspirations. She didn't like the attitude of the Luo family who looked down at her and her family a little too much. And she wasn't satisfied being just a daughter of the concubine either, whether it was Shen Xinyi or Shen Qi, she was not any less than them so why shou
Feng Tian Ming's words were like thorns sticking in the hearts of the Shen family . Shen Ping was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to raise his head to look Feng Tian Ming in the eye. Everyone in the Ming Empire knew about his shameless past but since Shen Ping succeeded in crawling all the way up to the imperial court and became the Right Prime minister of the Ming Country, no one dared to bring his past up anymore.Because of this Shen Ping has more or less forgotten about his deeds, he has forgotten that he was able to become the prime minister in the imperial court all because he shamelessly clung on to the Luo family, leeching off their fame and success as the only son in law of Luo Yaxian.If not for Feng Tian Ming bringing the matter up , Shen Ping would have completely thrown it in the back of his head , never to be retrieved again .If someone else dared to say this he would have cleaned that person up within seconds but t
Once Chen Ping gave him a way out, Shen Ping calmed down and immediately knelt and welcomed the sixth and seventh prince , then greeted the two loudly “ Long Live his highness, Prince Liu , Long Live his highness, Prince Qi !”Following his loud greeting , Feng Tian Ming arrived behind him was his sixth brother Feng Tian Chen who was pushing his wheelchair . Even though Feng Tian Ming was sitting lazily in a wheelchair , his noble aura wasn’t diminished in the least . Instead with his black robe that was embroidered with an intrinsic red spider lily , he looked even more dangerous and refined . Those red hues mixed in those lighting blue eyes glittered under the sun, making everyone who faced him shiver.Shen Xinyi has just arrived at the front entrance seeing everyone kneeling in front of the two Princes , she too got on her knees with the help of HengHeng . She slightly raised her eyebrow and looked at Feng Tian Ming who was already look
“ Princess, are we really going to let her take third miss, just like that ?” Heng Heng who was standing behind Shen Xinyi immediately asked once Shen Yu was gone. She didn’t say anything earlier because she knew that her mistress wouldn’t let the eldest miss of the Shen family take advantage of the third miss so easily but she was still a little worried.Although Heng Heng didn’t know what was wrong with the hairpin that Shen Yu bestowed on the third miss. She still knew that something must be wrong with that hairpin and could cause hurt to Shen Miao according to the willingness that Shen Yu showed towards giving it to Shen Miao despite the latter’s refusal. Shen Yu might be a pretty good pretender but to Heng Heng and Shi Shi who have seen the cruelty of the world, she was nothing. They could see it with just one glance that Shen Yu approached them with evil intentions, no matter how bright and innocent her smile was it couldn&rsquo
