Curtsying to Lord Yi, the princess consort took the children and left the main hall. She was no longer young and beautiful, but she still had the charm of a mature woman. Ever since four years ago, Yun Hai had never touched her again. Right now, perhaps the only bond between them was their daughter. Pinching her fingers into her palm, the princess consort felt uncomfortable, but she had to pretend to be a tolerant wife.
Yun Hai didn’t notice the pain of his wife. Maybe he had never taken her seriously. Now, as he met Ruxin, all his thoughts went on her. Feeling Ruxin’s upset behind her enchanting smile, he wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how to act. Eventually, he just stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.
Adjusting herself quickly, Ruxin showed her sweet smile and looked seductive at Yun Hai. However, the more Yun Hai gazed at her, the faker he felt. Nevertheless, he didn’t want to expose it. He chose to patiently watch her do the per
“Whatever she likes. If she wants it, she can have it.” “My lord, what if she wants your life?” “Say no more. I know what I am doing.” “But it’s my duty to protect...” “You can leave now.” “Yes.” Yun Hai sighed helplessly. Maybe it was his predestined fate to meet her. ...Melodious flute sound rang in the mansion. The flute sounded soft and sad. It seemed to be telling a story of people who couldn’t be together with their loved ones. However, now it was nighttime, and everyone had to sleep. This man was playing the flute in the middle of the night - what’s going on? Wasn’t he disturbing others on purpose? Several maids and servants, including the princess consort’s servants, were woken up in the middle of the night to search for the source of the flute sound. Following the sound of the flute, they rushed to the courtyard where the lord lived. These pe
In the courtyard of Lord Yi’s mansion, there was a beautiful woman sitting by the stone table. Wearing a piece of white clothes and a plain-looking pearl hairpin, the woman looked pure as a fairy. Without all her charming camouflage, she stared ahead blankly and sighed. Ruxin didn’t hate leading a quiet life, but she couldn’t. A woman was trying to walk in. Despite her age, she was well dressed and fine-looking. The servants guarding the yard blocked her and several servant girls behind her outside. “My lady, you can’t get in!” one of the servants who was in charge said. “How dare you! Can’t I even get into my husband’s yard?” “My lady, please forgive me. Lord Yi said no one is allowed to disturb Miss Ruxin.” “She can’t be that fragile, can she? Are you telling me my visit would disturb her?” “My lady, I’m just taking orders from the lord.” “Get off me! I’m getting in anyway.”
“Zhi.” Hearing Ruxin’s call, Xuan Zhi immediately returned. While he still felt somewhat awkward, she went to hug him as usual which made Xuan Zhi relaxed. He was really afraid that Ruxin would turn her back to him because of the kiss. Ruxin didn’t think so much. Leaning in Xuan Zhi’s arms had become her habit and also her greatest comfort. Feeling the warmth from his chest, she continued, “Zhi, let’s just do the old trick! Give him some aphrodisiacs and a prostitute.” “Give whom?” Xuan Zhi was still a bit overwhelmed by his own thoughts. “Who else can it be? Yun Hai!” “Okay, I see. Ruxin, are you sure?” Xuan Zhi asked Ruxin again. He was still a little uncertain. After all, Yun Hai looked like Kong Yue a lot. “Yes, I’m sure. Lord Yi isn’t Yue. He is my enemy. I will lie next to him tomorrow morning, just like what I did before.” “Okay, Ruxin. But no matter what, don’t push yours
Xuan Zhi’s kiss was never aggressive but always careful. As he breathed heavier, his heartbeat also accelerated. But he was still a gentle kisser. Ruxin did not hate it. Quite on the opposite, her heartbeat was spiking while she started to feel lost in his kiss. Allowing him to reach in between her lips and go deeper, she slowly got pressed down on the flowers. The kiss seemed to last forever until Ruxin’s lips got swollen. Xuan Zhi got off the girl under him and sat up. “I’m sorry,” he said. Now he was afraid even just to touch her. Xuan Zhi was such a gentleman. Given the same opportunity, Kong Yue would have already made Ruxin fall for him, both in her heart and on his bed.Ruxin, on the other hand, still felt lost. She had never figured out how she felt about Xuan Zhi, or maybe she just didn’t dare to feel anything. Carrying the hatred for her enemies and the deep love for Kong Yue, she didn’t know if having feelings for Xuan Zhi was the right t
The boy aside immediately stopped her and ignored Ruxin. He coaxed the six-year-old girl to walk her away, “Yunyun, it’s not worth it to get your dad mad because of a low-life woman. Let’s go play elsewhere.” Ruxin didn’t care what the boy was saying. After all, she had already been guilty because her plan, once completed, would cause them harm. But all of a sudden, she saw Princess Consort Yi hiding around the corner, eyes full of pride. This made things different. Ruxin had to keep playing the role of a mean homewrecker now. Quickly adjusting herself, she smiled with a touch of irony, “When I give birth to the heir of Lord Yi, you will be kicked out of here and live on the streets. We’ll see who’s the real low-life person.” Ruxin bent over and touched Yun Youyun’s cute little face, scaring the little girl straight into crying. Immediately hugging his little cousin to comfort her, the boy stepped away with the girl from Ruxin. “Ruxin, do you know
“Xier, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. Besides, I have already drunk the poisonous wine. I will soon die. I just want to have a nice talk with you.” “What do you want to say?” “I have always known that you want to kill me.” “You know it?” “I also know that you have arranged a prostitute to sleep with me every night. You only come back early in the morning.” “Then why do you still...?” “I didn’t touch her. I also arranged someone to play my role and sleep with her to finish your big show.” “What? Why do you do so?” “To make you relieved! More importantly, to make you happy! However, I don’t want to touch any other women after I meet you. Therefore, I could only hire someone to play my role.” “Hai, you...” “Actually, I have always known everything.” “You...you are such a fool.” “Yeah, I’m a fool, and I am will
“Princess of the Kindom of Shui... 9 years old... 16 as a living sacrifice... the Kingdom of Yun prosperous... Otherwise... the Kingdom of Yun would perish...” In the darkness, as the world-known prophecy was uttered by a low, magnetic male voice, candles were lit all around. The lanterns on the top illuminated the stage below. On the stage, corpses were lying all over. Dressed all in white, a sixteen-year-old girl walked in under the light. She looked pure and beautiful, wearing a simple pearl hairpin on her head. Looking at the dead bodies all around, she was beyond despair. Slowly, she approached a middle-aged couple who were holding each other. Without any music, on the unusually quiet stage, the girl began to sing. Soft but heart-breaking, her singing was beautifully painful, like a dagger stabbed into the audiences’ hearts. “Behind the gate is an aggrieved country. Alone in hell on earth shall be my tragic story.”
Many thought they didn’t have the opportunity to see Wu Nian’s show before he left, but only two days ago, the news came out that there was an extra show. After hearing that, many people lined up for tickets. Today, people arrived early in the morning to occupy their seats. The theatre was overcrowded. Before the show started, Wu Nian, who was getting prepared backstage, had heard some good news. The special guest, Lord Xiaoyao, was here today. Lord Xiaoyao was a mysterious man! It was said that he was not only granted by the late King Yun the title but also the privilege to enjoy the royal salary without attending any meeting in the Congress. Because he had been traveling for years, few people had heard of him, let alone seen him in person. Who would have known that he was here today for the show?The entertainer Wu Nian’s wonderful performance definitely deserved his visit! However, no one knew if Lan Li was here just for the show.
