Under the moon, Kunning Palace.Leng Qingtang looked down and glanced around leisurely, causing all the servants kneeling on the ground to feel their scalp tightened and a gush of chill in their hearts.Even Empress Qian, who stood arrogantly on the steps, went weak at the knees while facing the powerful gaze of Leng Qingtang. If it were not for the maid's help, she would be likely to sit on the ground awkwardly.However, she was the Empress, the Emperor's wife, who should always act as a mother of all the people.Thinking of this, Empress Qian tried her best to endure the anger in her chest. She tightly clenched her lips and gritted her teeth, and the facial features twitched on her graceful face.Then she thought, "I have never done anything to frame the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot. Even if I did, he would not have the ability to cover the sun with one hand and dare to do anything under the eyes of everyo

Leng Qingtang went back to the Southern Residence of the Eastern Depot tiredly.He had seen Yuan Qian, the tenth captain, just now.When he entered the room, he saw the men of the tenth tribe gathering around his bed.The badly injured boy had a pale face, losing his former vitality completely.The naive dimples were gone from his thin cheeks. His eyes looked dry and gloomy with dark circles.He lay on his back decadently and despondently with no spirit, which caused a sudden pain in Leng Qingtang's bright black eyes.Jiang Huaian had already treated Yuan Qian and the four secret guards, and left the unique ten-star tendon pills for them made by Tantai who was the medical sage.The injured were repeatedly told to take them on time according to the doctor's advice, so that after a season, their severed tendons and vessels could recover then.However, his superb medical skills could

After hearing of the accident of Lord Duan, Ming Lan immediately left Gu Yunjin behind. Following the eunuch who reported the incident, Ming Lan led the people of the Western Depot to the Imperial Ceremony Office.On the way, Ming Lan heard the little eunuch's explanation of the incident.A few days ago, in the middle of the night, a maid suddenly jumped into the lotus pond of Xianghe Garden in the Palace.When internal officials pulled her from the bottom of the lake with difficulty, they found she had been out of breath. Via attestation, it was learned that the body was Caiping of Shanggong Bureau.People from Shanggong Bureau found a suicide note under her pillow when they sorted the relics for her.It was stated that Caiping was taken a fancy to by Duan Shaochun, the Supervisor of the service center, and was drugged and insulted after Duan Shaochun failed to threaten her.Before or after the incident,

Ming Lan was shocked, and his eyes got dazzled by the glare reflected by the square jade seal in front of him."How dare you—"Getting fuming, he shook his head fiercely and stared at Leng Qingtang with a hateful gaze."I'm also a rank-second official of the court. How can your man insult me like this?"Beside him, Lord Bai shook his head in disbelief and yelled to the man at the top of the steps."Master Leng, you, you are deliberately embarrassing me!"Leng Qingtang faintly smiled and lowered his ice-cold gaze."I said it beforehand. Master Ming, it is clear that you cannot eat the seal of the Imperial Ceremony Office, and it seems that you do not really want to save them. Guards, take the kneeling people to the Violent Room, and I will deal with them later."The Eastern Depot's guards replied in unison and then rushed to the center of the courtyard. They hauled the eighty eunuc

Another rainy June—The night in the Palace fell silently, and the red-walled city became hazy and misty under the moon with less majesty and solemnity during the day.In the imperial study room, Emperor Jingxiao was busy before a desk. He was still in the imperial robe, projecting withered shadows under the candlelight.How many lives were decided by remarks written in red by this man in the royal prerogative with his royal brush?The candle flickered in the glaze lamp and shone through the gaps in the side window, casting a vague shadow of the exquisite carvings on the misty marble steps.After reading the report, Emperor Jingxiao closed his eyes, rested his slightly arched back on the dragon chair, and rubbed at between his eyebrows with two fingers.He had not slept well recently. When the morning assembly was over, he went to the Elixir Chamber of High Priest Yu Xuanji for medication, which did not wo
