Chapter 611 But Honored Consort Xia Is Timid by Nature...
This time Ning Xueyan accompanied Ao Chenyi to the emperor's study, where there were many people. Not only the emperor but also the empress, Honored Consort Ya, and Honored Consort Shu were there.
Ning Xueyan went in after Ao Chenyi. The latter didn't kowtow to the emperor, and she didn't do it, either, because her hand had been in Ao Chenyi's hand. Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to have the mood to care about it. On his right side, the empress, Honored Consort Ya, and Honored Consort Shu sat according to their status.
Ao Chenyi sat down at his left side, and Ning Xueyan took the seat at the right side of Ao Chenyi. She sat there quietly with her eyelids slightly lowered, looking like a tamed newly married wife.
"Emperor, Prince Yi is already here. Please let Prince Yi help us with the trial. This case can't be delayed like this. A normal person died, and we should give an explanation to the others in the palace."
Now, the em

The Small Jing'an Temple was as quiet and peaceful as ever. Tucked behind trees, the out-of-view prayer hall seemed even more serene.Ning Xueyan lit three incense sticks in front of the Buddha statue and knelt on a prayer mat. She put her palms together in prayer and closed her eyes.Lanning stepped out of the hall."Princess Yi!" The sound of the door opening shattered the serenity of the prayer hall. Then came the sound of someone entering the hall and addressing Ning Xueyan in a soft voice.When Ning Xueyan opened her eyes, she saw Senior Nun Jing Kong standing in front of her with a kind smile.Still kneeling, she put on a nonchalant smile. "Senior Nun Jing Kong!"Senior Nun Jing Kong nodded. After respectfully saluting the statue of Buddha, she settled down on a prayer mat beside Ning Xueyan. She looked at her without wavering. "Princess Yi, have you come here for me?"Her expression was

Ning Xueyan looked at him coldly, her brows knitted into a frown, and said unhappily, "Your Highness, I should be leaving.""Yan'er, if he treats you so poorly, you can come to me. I'll protect you!" Ao Mingyu seemed determined to express all of his feelings. He even ignored Ning Xueyan's displeasure and reached out to grab her hand with the look of a man who couldn't control his emotions anymore. Excitement flitted across his pupils."I can treat you better than he can. I would never let you spend your wedding night alone nor would I let those lowly concubines bully you. I wouldn't let you return to your home all by yourself. I'll dote on you, I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!"Ao Mingyu looked at Ning Xueyan with desire burning in his eyes. The more he spoke, the more touched he was. He didn't think that he, a prince, would have such deep feelings for a woman. He didn't care that she was a married woman. He could even promise her
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 614 Basking in Glory with Yan'er
Sinister coldness flickered in Ao Chenyi's beautiful eyes. The moment he saw the trace of sweat on Ning Xueyan's forehead, he knew that she was worried. He paused, turned around, and gently patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. I won't go to him directly. I do have business with His Majesty now, so let me get someone to send you home."That said, he looked at Eunuch Zhu, who was still supporting Lanning.Lanning was putting up a strong front despite being in a bad condition. Her face was pale. Ning Xueyan knew she must get a physician to examine her as quickly as possible. Since she had achieved her goal of entering the palace to visit Senior Nun Jing Kong, it was time for her to leave.Still, she was worried. Ao Chenyi was used to getting his way and wasn't the kind who would suffer losses in silence."You're not going to beat Ao Mingyu up, are you?" she asked, her glistening eyes turning around."Relax. I won't look for
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 615 Hua Qiuying's Scheme
"Older sister, this courtyard still looks the same as before. Can I stay here for a little longer?" Hua Qiuying looked at the courtyard in front of her with tears welling in her sadness-filled eyes, looking as if she was reminiscing.This was the courtyard that caught Hua Yueying's eye at the very beginning. Even among the courtyards in Prince Yi's Manor, it was quite exquisitely built, especially with its refurbishment later on. However, it was abandoned when the marriage fell through. When Commandery Princess Xianyun entered the manor, she once sent someone to inspect the courtyard. She didn't end up choosing this place after hearing that it was Hua Yueying's pick, thinking that it would be unlucky.It meant that the courtyard was left empty with barely any visitors save for the occasional servants who would drop by to clean. Everything was left exactly in its place, though the arrangement was completed by the servants at Prince Yi's Manor as Second Young
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 616 Wounded by a Sword
Ning Xueyan was walking so quickly that she was nearly running. Lanning followed closely behind her. She had sent Xinmei out earlier to see what was happening. Ao Chenyi was injured! How could he be injured? Wasn't he fine before she left the palace? What on earth happened? Were his injuries severe? Would he be all right?All she could think about was a bloody Ao Chenyi but her mind wouldn't allow her to think any further. She rushed toward Chuihua Gate but before she could get there, she ran into Xinmei on her way back. Xinmei told her that Ao Chenyi was at the Moon-embracing Tower. Hearing that, she headed in the tower's direction at once.On their way there, Xinmei didn't explain anything except that the Prince's men were heading toward the Moon-embracing Tower by the time she arrived. She didn't manage to see the Prince. This made Ning Xueyan more anxious.When they finally arrived at the Moon-embracing Tower, they saw the imperial physicia
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 617 The Strange Princess Yi
The first thing the imperial physician saw after entering the room was Prince Yi lying unconscious in bed in his innerwear.A beautiful young woman was sitting beside the bed and wiping her tears with a handkerchief. When she saw him coming in, she let go of Prince Yi's hand and stepped back to sit on a cedar chair. A maid stood behind her respectfully with her head lowered, looking like she didn't even dare to raise her head.Yu Jian stepped forward and said, "Princess, this is Physician Xu. His Majesty sent him to examine our prince's injury.""Yes, please do so. He… He's still unconscious…" Ning Xueyan looked up, her eyes still red. It was obvious that she had cried and her voice was hoarse, too.The physician carefully observed Princess Yi. She was an exquisite beauty, if a little thin. She seemed to have suffered some congenital deficiencies. She lowered her head again after speaking, making it hard for him to see her expressi
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 618 The Assassination of Two Princes
Inside the hall, the high and mighty Emperor looked coldly at Physician Xu as the latter knelt. "He's really injured, and at a risky place at that? He nearly lost his life?""Yes, that's the case. I took care to examine it myself. The wound is close to his chest. If it were anywhere lower, Prince Yi might not be able to regain consciousness so easily."Physician Xu trusted in his medical skills, so he was able to speak with certainty."Is there really nothing odd about Prince Yi's Manor?" the Emperor asked, frowning. It seemed that he could stop suspecting Ao Chenyi of directing the assassination himself."No," Physician Xu said, but added upon second thought, "But… something seems off about Princess Yi."The Emperor didn't expect Physician Xu to bring up Princess Yi. He was momentarily stunned, but soon asked, "What's off about Princess Yi?""Prince Yi was unconscious when I was treating him, but I notice
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 619 Hua Yunheng's Departure
Inside a gorgeous pavilion, lithe women decked in a colorful dress were dancing gracefully while two men watched from a platform. One of them was Wen Xueran, with his alluring smile and devastatingly handsome face. He looked even more beautiful than the dancers below.His black hair was draped over his shoulder, lending him an androgynous allure. His wide robe made him look like an ancient scholar, with a trace of languidness in its flightiness. Beside him was the elegant Hua Yunheng in a light-colored robe.The dancers were twirling around gracefully, their sleeves fluttering with every action, their dainty waists twisting from time to time, as they displayed their elegant figures. Instrumental music from both sides that accompanied the performance made them look all that more delicate and beautiful. Upon closer look, the musicians were all beauties themselves. But dressed in men's attire, they looked more dashing instead.However, these women
