Chapter 664 The Performances Begin
"Lanning, help Eldest Young Lady Ya up." Ning Xueyan's eyes were unfathomable. A beautiful gleam was dancing in her pupils. Like the surface of a lake in autumn, those eyes were beautiful but cold.
Lanning answered her master's command and helped Ya Moqin to her feet.
It went without saying that Ya Moqin wouldn't struggle at this time. She covered her face with her handkerchief, putting on a show of remorse as if she was truly sorry for her slip of tongue earlier. She acted as if she had misspoken out of agitation.
Behind her handkerchief, a resentful smile appeared on her face. Ning Xueyan had no choice but to let her off now, but she would never let Ning Xueyan off.
However, what Ning Xueyan said next turned her legs soft. She nearly fell.
"Eldest Young Lady Ya, please leave and get some rest. I'll forgive your slip of the tongue. The imperial family requires their daughter-in-law to be magnanimous, dignified, and re

No one could criticize her even if she brought twenty maids, let alone two.Lanning took out the antique zither called Mark of the Moon and carefully put it down.Immediately, shocked whispers resounded. "Mark of the Moon?" someone said. "It's really the Mark of the Moon!" another said. Comments and laments abounded.The women's stunned whispers alarmed the men as well. When the famous scholars heard that it was the Mark of the Moon, a few couldn't help standing up and craning their necks for a better look.The Mark of the Moon was so famous that everyone couldn't help but focus on it."Is this really the Mark of the Moon?" a scholar asked the scholar beside him."It must be. The Crown Princess wouldn't use a fake." The other scholar nodded while staring at the zither on the stage. However, the stage was so far aw
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 666 Fear and Panic
These scholars might be famous and distinguished. They might look down on many rules and societal norms as men in the prime of their youth, but they were still ordinary people at the end of the day.When something threatened their lives, even the lives of their families, they would still panic and do something unexpected.The cowardly scholar was a good example.When he saw Wu Yao refusing to let them go, he panicked and cried, "Once the Crown Princess finishes her performance, we'll all die with her! We must leave now!"His voice was loud, and the men and women were only separated by a short distance. They used a path near the women's area on their way out, and the commotion they made had drawn the women's attention. Therefore, everyone at the banquet heard his words.When the women processed those words, they exchanged looks. They didn't know what the scholar meant. Could there be another meaning to Ning Xueyan's per
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 667 Is This the Song of the Witch?
Ning Xueyan had committed the crime of trying to assassinate the Emperor. One careless mistake, and even Ao Chenyi might be implicated. Everyone knew that they must steer clear of her at this time.The situation was finally under control. No one dared to run after seeing the noble young lady lay dead on the floor without knowing why. They were afraid that the blood-thirsty troops from Prince Yi's Manor would kill them too. These people had killed the lady without asking questions. That was enough to prove how bold they were.Even though most people at the banquet were educated people, they knew they couldn't do anything about the armed guards in front of them.A more courageous scholar tidied his robe and stepped forward to talk to the first batch of guards. "Sir, the Crown Princess performed the Song of the Witch to curse the Emperor. We tried to run away because we didn't dare to stay behind. We wanted to report the matter."Afte

The only other uneasy person in the crowd was Commandery Princess Muling. She couldn't help glancing at Wu Yao before looking away again, no longer trying to get close to the latter. She had been carefully and discreetly making her way toward Wu Yao earlier, but that would be a bad idea now.Even though Wu Yao didn't seem directly involved in the incident, it wouldn't stop others from wondering if the woman who had always kept a low profile was truly innocent. One could tell that the scholars on the stage were suspecting something by how they didn't even look at Wu Yao.Wu Yao ordered her servants to rearrange the tables and chairs and invited everyone back to their seats.Ning Xueyan walked down the stage with Lanning and Qingyu and returned to her seat. The first batch of imperial guards exchanged looks when they realized that the commotion was over, ready to leave.However, the trouble was far from over. Something happened just
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 669 An Unexpected Accident
"Master, I have asked around. Even though most people aren't very clear about it, I still learned a clue or two. It seemed that the Empress was involved in Prince Xiang's attempted assassination of the Emperor. That was why the Emperor died so easily. Honored Consort Shu happened to be guarding the door that night, so she discovered this and exposed the matter.""Prince Xiang's men didn't manage to get out in time. When they were detained, the Empress was still inside the Emperor's room. Then, Prince Xiang's men accused the Empress of killing the Emperor and vice versa. Both sides turned on each other to no avail. Prince Xiang and the Empress are currently imprisoned to be punished after the Emperor's funeral," Lanning said.Ning Xueyan's shapely eyebrows wrinkled as she sank into contemplation. The Empress' intention to kill the Emperor was apparent from the moment she summoned Commandery Princess Xianyun to the palace. It was Ao Mingyu's assassination of

"It was and wasn't an accident. He could only blame himself. No matter what, he was the one who forced my hand and cornered me to this state. He ruined my everything. Him dying in my hands could be considered as his retribution."The Empress began to look calm again. She turned her head and stared at Ning Xueyan with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "I invited you here to ask you to let go of my family. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with my family. They're just a small and useless noble family. In exchange for their safety, I'll tell you a secret."Her voice had lost her previous agitation and anger, leaving only a sense of helplessness. She had never put any hope in her family. She thought that she would be able to help her people after gaining power but now that she was in trouble, she was worried that her family would be implicated and sentenced to death.She had resented her family countless times for marrying her off to the Empero
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 671 Whether an Emperor Needs Imperial Consorts
Ao Chenyi didn't try to persuade her this time. This had bothered her for so long that she would continue to suffer for it if she didn't cry it out now. He held her tighter and allowed her to wet the front of his robe. She didn't brawl. All she did was close her eyes and let her tears stream down her face. When her tears finally dried, she sat quietly in Ao Chenyi's embrace for a long time.It was so quiet inside the room that she could finally calm down.Her hands were being held so tightly in Ao Chenyi's hand that she could feel the callus in his palm.
