"Framed? When you people were trying to poison me dead, why didn't you say 'framed'? I, Hua Qiyue, won't be so stupid as to allow a former murderer a way out." Hua Qiyue raised her brows mockingly. In her previous life, she had been too kind and considerate. She did not care how Zhou Zhicheng had treated her and allowed him a harem of wives and concubines. She even allowed him to marry her own maidservant.
What did her great generosity lead to?
Only endless betrayals and resentments. Heartlessly hounded upon and tortured by those mistresses!
How could Hua Qiyue ever forget her previous life, when she had been tortured to death and Tianci made a mute through poison?
Hua Mengshi heard her and her tears continued to stream down, like strings of beads slipping off her exquisite face, one after another. They were like pearls falling off a jade plate.
"Eldest Sis... think about how hard my mother has worked for Hua's Ma
When she saw her handsome Master wolving down his food, Hua Qiyue retreated helplessly to one side and tried to cultivate. She was at the lower levels of the Dragon Diagram Realm. She did not know how long she would take to reach the middle levels. Her earlier promotion had been quick and enjoyable. Her Spirit Summoning Art was only at Lv 3. She was still quite far away from Lv 4. Her present power, however, meant that Hua Qiyue did not need to feel constrained when dealing with certain Qi Art masters. After all, she also knew Mourning Steps, Spirit Summoning Art and other special footworks and skills that Tianpi had trained her. Even though she was at a lower level, she was still many times more powerful than a Qi Artist one level above her. Hua Qiyue sat by the pond, converging the Spiritual Qi from the heavens and the earth. She began to cultivate slowly. Several hours passed and nothing happened. Previously, H
"What?" Hua Qiyue was fairly surprised. She saw Ji Feng's expression which seemed to imply something serious... Ji Zhong gazed happily at Hua Qiyue, as if admiring his future daughter-in-law. "Princess Jinghua, our Ji family is very happy you are our disciple. However, Your Highness possess the Thousand-Year Magistery and seem to know lots of other medicines as well. You probably don't need much instruction. As the Manor Head, I have decided to let Feng and Jing stay behind in the capital. Of course, Your Highness can go to Ji's Manor if you like. You will decide everything." Hua Qiyue blinked. Did she hear wrong? Did the Ji family just told her that she needn't go to Ji's Manor? And they allowed Ji Feng and Ji Jing to stay behind to instruct her, a new disciple? Talking about herbs, Hua Qiyue was not really well versed with them. The person who knew them well was Tianpi. Many of the seeds of the divine herbs were from him. Alt
Hua Qiyue looked at the owner of that hand—Yun Shimo, who was looking at her coldly, then he said gently to Tianci, "Tianci, this cuisine is specially made for you, and Daddy also prepared all the delicacies on this table for you and me." Hua Qiyue was depressed to almost spit blood. Although it was a little unkind to rob food from her son, these delicacies on the table were actually made for four, weren't they? But Yun Shimo was so mean. What he said implied that Hua Qiyue came here uninvited, intending to freeload, right? Hua Qiyue thought very hard, but she was really unable to figure out what she had done that offended Yun Shimo. "Daddy, since Mom likes these, please allow her to have them! Daddy, you can ask the chef to prepare another dish of the Roast and Steamed Pork Joint Made in Niufo County!" Tianci blinked his smart eyes and a cunning smile skimmed over his eyes. Yun Shimo couldn't help laughing and he
"Ask him to come!" Queen Liu's beautiful eyes were suddenly brightened. Since Shui Qianruo was willing to come, he must be interested in cooperating with her. Shui Qianruo was still in a white robe under which his pale and wan face became even more horrible; his entire body looked like a lifeless corpse. Generally, when people saw him, they would somehow tremble and feel scared. Xiaohuan lowered her eyes and dared not see Shui Qianruo's eyes. "Shui Qianruo meets Her Highness." Shui Qianruo just slightly bowed, but Queen Liu disregarded this action. Not everyone should kneel down when visiting the Empress. People with dignified identities, such as some senior Qi Artists or poisoners, pharmacists, were allowed to ignore etiquette when they visited the Emperor and the Empress. "Xiaohuan works for me. Master Shui, let me put this in a straightforward way: do you, have any interest in coorperating with me? Of course, y
Of course, Huangfu Xuan didn't know that it was the feeling of falling love with someone. Once falling love with a girl, he would be willing to see her but he also was afraid to see her, and his mind was filled with complicated contradictions which couldn't even be explained by deities. In the mortal world, love was could ruin the world and overturn countries. But some loves were unworthy of being mentioned, as humble as mud. At the same time, Princess Huiya was also very distressed. She wanted to go out of the palace but was stopped by her mother, and also because Yun Shimo was indifferent to her. Right now, a palace maid came to report that the Queen had invited all the princesses to the back hill and enjoy the beautiful sight of the moon. It was July 18th this day. Although the moon wasn't as round as that on the 15th or the 16th, the bright moon was still shining in the sky, as silvery as waves in the sea.
This day, General Hua Liting came back from the border and handed over his territorial protection duties to a newly promoted general. After all, Hua Liting had been galloping on the battlefield for many years and suffered from many injuries. Now, he was getting older and his strength as well as energy also declined, so, he could only retire. Around mid afternoon, General Hua Liting had entered the gate of the capital with his troops. The masses in the capital were ecstatic when they saw him, and they enthusiastically sent him food and clothes as presents. Hua Liting had tears in his eyes because for his whole life, he had experienced many difficulties, and he felt that his life hadn't been spent in vain since he gained such respect. Finally, he came back to the Hua's Mansion. As soon as Hua Liting got down from the horse, he saw that Hua Mengshi rushed to him saying, "Dad!" There were tears on Hua Mengshi's beautiful face and her voice was f
Hua Liting was in a quandary. He was a man who valued relationships. How could he witness the beheading of his Second Madame with his own eyes? Old Madame Hua snorted coldly. "Liting, did Mengshi tell you why Second Madame is being executed?" "It seems to be... that she schemed and tried to make Qiyue leave Hua's Mansion." "Mengshi is so audacious! How dare she lie to her own father!" The Old Madame heard him and instantly slapped the table angrily. "A few days ago, the Queen held a banquet for Qiyue. The scheming Second Madame tried to frame Qiyue as a foreign spy! She got a bandit to pretend to be a spy and counterfeited the painting of Ten Thousand Horses Galloping Ahead. They used as it evidence to frame Qiyue. Luckily, Qiyue had forestalled this! Otherwise, she would have been executed!" Old Madame Hua's angry words stunned Hua Liting. Although he knew there were some unstated reasons, he did not expect Secon
"Father dear, I was just making a wild guess. I'm sorry that it has turned out to be true." Hua Qiyue said quietly, motioning Youshui and Lv Xin to take Tianci away. "No, I'm not going! I will protect Mother!" Tianci started brandishing his fist, shouting loudly at Hua Liting's darkening face. Hua Liting gave Tianci a cold stare, his face even angrier. "Qiyue, you must know the inside story! Tell me! Let me clear your Second Mother's name." Hua Qiyue gazed calmly at Hua Liting. He was not stupid and knew that she was hiding something. Yet, if she revealed the mastermind behind the plot, he would suffer even more and be at greater risk. Although her spirit was not close to Hua Liting, her body was still Hua Qiyue's. How could she have the heart to see him enter a den of wolves? "Father, you think too much. I knew that it isn't easy to stay in the dungeons... weak people often commit suicide there... " Hua Qiyue sho
