Once, because of a pair of purple eyes he was scorned. He is a wangye known across thend, cold and bloodthirsty, looking disdainfully upon the world.
Once, because of a mothers death she received a fathers resentment. She is a publicly known junzhu whose looks have been destroyed, pitiful and weak.
In reality, he has a pair of this worlds most beautiful eyes, the most formidable background, the most imposing strength.
In reality, she has a peerless face, the most unshakable background, and the most ingenious medical skills.
She, Lan You Nian, aloof and cold-hearted, underneath the appearance of a celestial maiden is a battered, wounded heart.

Under the blue sky, a vi upies the vast majority of thend. It is surrounded by trimmed grass, gardens with blooming flowers, and not far away, parked a number of limited-edition luxury cars. This is the Underworlds leading family, Lan familys current head, Lan You Nians residence.
The current head of Lan family, Lan You Nian, at sixteen years of age, using ruthless methods and extraordinary strategy, took over the Hua nation underworld from her fathers hands, thus bing the youngest head since the founding of the Lan family.
In the first year under Lan You Niansmand, although she worked very hard, her father always stood behind Lan You Nian, silently supporting her. Thus, despite being a woman, the pressure from all outside forces was not so big.
However, a year after Lan You Nian took over the family, her father, the former head of the family, died. After the news of his fathers death was identally leaked out, the whole Underworld was rmed. Everyone wanted to divide the Lan family that seemed to be in a precarious situation. But no one thought that under so many Underworld attacks, Lan You Nian picked up the whole family with her frail shoulders.
Those who provoke, kill! Those with evil intentions, kill! Those looking for trouble, kill! Those disloyal, kill! Those who disobey, kill!
Lan You Nian, the newly appointed head of Lan family, not only saved the status of leading family for Lan family under one years time but pushed the Lan familys status up even further! Moreover, because of her own fierce methods and ruthless attitude, from then on, everyone remembered a name C Lan You Nian!
People of the hood all understood, dont think that this enchanting woman is to be trifled with, if you dare to provoke, you have to be ready to go to hell!
People of the Underworld and the uprightmunity called Lan You Nian Spider Lily, a beautiful flower blooming in hell, although beautiful, no one dared to pick it. When Lan You Nian heard this title, she just smiled faintly. She, Lan You Nian, was splendid and brilliant, but lonesome and solitary, exposing an infinite chilling destion.
ɳ-red spider lily
However, when Lan You Nian was 20 years old, rumors spread of her love life. This news was tantamount to thunder, which made everyone horrified. The appearance of Lan You Nian was very beautiful, belonging to the ranks of femme fatales. Moreover, because of the power in the hands of Lan You Nian, the pursuers can be described as endless, but none of them could win the favor of Lan You Nian.
Later, the people learned that the boyfriend of Lan You Nian was the young master of the Feng family, Feng Ting. This man was no stranger. After all, the financial strength of the Feng family was on the top ten in the Hua nation. The oldest young master of Feng family was as gentle as jade and a gentleman. In the future, the Lan family will definitely fall into the hands of Feng Ting.
Many people sighed. After all, the influence and temperament of Lan You Nian and Feng Ting were far from each other. One was the leader of the cold and bloodthirsty gang, and the other was a good businessman. It is like one belongs to the Underworld, and one belongs to the upright society. Many people were waiting to see the twos jokes. But no matter how badly thements were, the feelings between Lan You Nian and Feng Ting were as good as ever. And for four years, no rumors of a scandal were exposed.
Lan You Nian drove back in her own red sports car. The car was like aet speeding by. Lan You Nian opened the door. The corner of her mouth evoked a smile from the heart. She was clothed in a fiery red dress with a low cor that exposed exquisite corbones, long sleeves, a narrow waist and a long skirt that with Lan You Nians every step revealed long white legs. She did not need to behave coquettishly for she only needed to stand there, and the beauty was enough to be soul-stirring. This day was Lan You Nians 23rd birthday. Waiting for her in this vi to celebrate the day of her birth were her closest friends and family. They were the light of Lan You Nians dark heart, the warmth in her lonely and yearning heart.
Because today her friends and family wanted to celebrate her birthday, Lan You Nian pushed off all birthday parties, only wanting to get together with people who were close to her heart. Others say that she, Lan You Nian, was cold-blooded and ruthless, but what they didnt know is that that was only for the enemy. For these people who were in the heart, Lan You Nian would exhaust everything to protect them.
You Nian, youve arrived? Happy birthday! A woman wore a tailored dress that made her look noble and elegant. It was her, Lan You Nians mother, the mother who has always loved her dearly. Lan You Nians eyes shed with a little girls happiness. Only in front of her mother would she have that expression.
Younger sister, happy birthday! A young woman was clothed in a pink floor-length dress that made her seem delicate and beautiful. This was her, Lan You Nians, biological sister. Lan You Nian has always protected her well. For this sister who was much more delicate than herself, Lan You Nian had always done her best to care for her.
You Nian, happy birthday! A ck suit set off the mans height, made him seem even taller. The features were bright and clear, the eyes were warm, and the looks were so outstanding that people couldnt peel their eyes away. This was her boyfriend Feng Ting.
In reality, for Lan You Nian, she didnt know whether she loved him or not. For a woman who was as cold as Lan You Nian, for her to understand what love was, was difficult. However, Feng Tings goodness towards moved her to agree to Feng Tings pursuit and be boyfriend and girlfriend. They were not like other couples who were deeply in love; their rtionship was simpler and fainter. But being used to seeking life under the sharp edge of a de, this tranquility was very rare, and it was exactly the life that Lan You Nian has always hoped for.
Lan You Nians mother personally cooked a table of dishes for Lan You Nian and the family sat around the table. Lan You Nian saw how everyone cared so much about her, a touch of warmth entered her heart, driving away the coldness that existed in the darkness. Because there were people who care about her, Lan You Nian felt that all she has suffered was worth it.
Cheers! Everyone raised their red wine sses Happy Birthday!, and an orderly train of blessings sounded in the hall.
Lan You Nians eyes filled with a smile Thank you! threw back her head and drank the red wine containing the blessing.
Everyone chitchatted. It seemed that they were working hard to make the atmosphere active. Lan You Nian being sensitive, became aware that everyone had something on their minds. However, Lan You Nian didnt take it to heart. Everyone had their own secrets. She trusted them, so she will not interfere with their privacy. But Lan You Nian never thought......
Lan You Nian shook her head, felt something was not right. Her head seemed to be a little heavy, and her body was weak. After all, having walked through so many ups and downs, the first reaction was that she has been poisoned. But at this time, Lan You Nian believed that someone must have sneaked into the vi and poisoned her.
Somethings not right! Lan You Nian tried to stay awake and warned them, hoping they could leave as soon as possible. She believed it was an enemy who wanted to harm her. For herself, she had no concern, but here are all the people she cared for most in her heart. Lan You Nian does not want to implicate them nor does she want them toe to harm.
Of course somethings not right, hee-hee. Older sistersugh was full of ridicule as it passed through to the ears of Lan You Nian. The harsh voice was something Lan You Nian never heard before; it was much different from the voice of her older sister. Lan You Nian stared at the people in front of her with wide eyes.
If she still didnt understand what was going on, she would have wasted her life for many years. She, Lan You Nian, has been abandoned! She, Lan You Nian, has been schemed against! She, Lan You Nian, has been betrayed!
But she didnt understand. Why did they do this? There was no reason at all. One of them was her own biological mother, one was her own sister, and the other was her boyfriend who has been with her for many years. She did not owe them anything and was even very protective of them!
Why? The Lan You Nians eyes shed with disbelief, but more of it was desperation, Just why? Lan You Nian had been smart her entire life, but now she was being treated so by her loved ones. Why was it so? Lan You Nian felt that her heart suddenly shattered, the pain was such that it felt like knives piercing her heart.
Why? What are you even asking for? You have monopolized the Lan family for so many years. We have nothing. Of course, we are ruining you! Lan You Nians usual noble mother was now looking at herself with grievances. Those eyes were without any pity and love for her. The absolute greed in her eyes made Lan You Nian sick.
You are my mother! Lan You Nianughed. She did not know whether she wasughing at her mother orughing at her pitiable self. Even her own mother was like this to her? Its not that she wanted to keep the Lan family to herself; the Lan family was simply tooplicated. If she allowed her mother and sister to participate in the Underworld, they would face countless dangers in the future. It wasughable that she didnt expect her own protectiveness to be exchanged for the hate of her family. Absolutelyughable!
Lan You Nian looked up and Feng Ting, the inquiry in her eyes was obvious. Even if she would die today, she would understand everything clearly. Although she wanted to die immediately, Lan You Nians pride would not allow her to bow down.
I have always loved your sister; I never fell in love with you. Feng Ting held the hand of the woman next to him, the affection in his eyes was obvious. This kind of affection was one that Lan You Nian had never seen in the eyes of Feng Ting, that kind of affection that hurt to even look at. Even if Lan You Nian did not love Feng Ting to death, she did have real feelings for him. But the man she liked for the first time in her life, from the beginning was simply using her like a chess piece. She, Lan You Nian, did not allow for deceit and betrayal.
My dear good sister, Lan family, the first spot in the Underworld, if it was not for you, it should have been mine! All the power, status, and glory should be mine! The woman picked up a knife from the table and thrust it into Lan You Nians heart.
The sound of puchi echoed, that was the sound of the knife inserted into Lan You Nian.
However, the countenances of the people standing in front of Lan You Nian did not change. There was no regret at all!
Her biological mother looked at her as if she was looking at a dirty beggar. She suddenly felt that even if a dog raised by her mother died, she would have a little sadness. In contrast, seeing her biological daughter dying in front of her, as a mother, there was not even a little sadness.
The smile on her own sisters mouth was so unscrupulous, Lan You Nian seemed to be able to gleam the beautiful future of her sisters fantasy from her eyes. That jeeringughter passed into the ear of Lan You Nian, letting Lan You Nian see that the older sister of the past was only an act.
Her boyfriend nced at her and then looked away, as if one more moment will dirty his eyes. Lan You Nian thought back to the patience and sincerity he had once pursued her with. Then looking at the man of the present, Lan You Nian knew she had fallen into this mans trap from the very beginning.
It was said that people would think a lot when they were going to die. Lan You Nian really thought a lot. But the once warm and sweet memories are now full of chill. She, Lan You Nian, had the mind and the means, but she was defeated by her own heart that longed for warmth. Because she believed in affection, she fell even harder. She was not unwilling to ept, but forlorn!
Ha ha ha ha! Lan You Nians mad, low-sounding voice seemed to be from the depths of hell that was like a bloody haze chilling to the bone. Almost as if Lan You Nian could not feel the pain in her chest and the blood draining from her, sheughed like a madman.
Mom, since father passed away, I tried to hold up the entire Lan family, gave you a wealthy life, gave you more money than you can finish, but now you point a de towards your own daughter! Lan You Nian looked at her mother, her eyes a barren wastnd.
Sister, once you were afraid of losing your life. You didnt want to take over the Lan family. I took over what was supposed to be your responsibility. At what was supposed to be a worry-free age, I braved the weather, went through wind and rain, through the heavy rain of bullets. That year when you were kidnapped, I took three shots for you. I did not care about the Lan family security and used all the forces to rescue you. But now it only exchanged for your hate and harm! Lan You Nian looked at her sister, her mouth curled to evoke the evilest smile. The smile was like the red spider lily that bloomed in hell. Lan You Nian, at this moment, was really like her title, full of death.
Feng Ting, all the difficulties in your business, how much have I helped you, how much I have solved for you? The people who want to harm you, how much benefit has been given to you? But now you wish to deprive me of my life in return for the many years of feelings! Looking at her boyfriend, there was no more affection in the eyes of Lan You Nian.
Never-mind, I am tired too! Lan You Nian looked forlornly at the people in front of her. Lan You Nians world had copsed because of the betrayal of these people. Lan You Nian could feel her life draining away. She cant hold on for much longer.
Lan You Nian looked at the three people with a strange smile, and in front of their frightened faces, pressed the remote control in her hands. Hahaha. How can the life of I, Lan You Nian, be so easy to take? Youll all keep mepany! Follow me to hell!
Peng! The whole vi was razed to the ground, and everything disappeared between heaven and earth.

02 Rebirth

The frigid wind was freezing to the bone. Snowkes slowly fluttered down from the sky, falling onto a tree at the bottom of a cliff. Thousand miles of rivers and mountains has transformed into a world of powdered makeup and jade. The branches which were barren of leaves, hung many furry, sparkling silver bars. The evergreen trees were full of fluffy, heavy snowballs.
Cold, cold, so cold.... Lan You Nians consciousness was blurry. She only had one feeling and that extreme coldness, as if even her bones were freezing up. Is this hell? It must be, otherwise how could it be so cold? Even her own heart is as cold as ice.
So be it, whether this is hell or heaven, she was tired, so very tired.
Shifu, look, there seems to be something ahead! A handsome man dressed in white robes jumped down from the carriage, looking at the slight bulge on the pure white snow. It was obvious that there was something covered under all that snow.
Fifth junior brother, whats wrong? From the carriage came out an elegant man, around seventeen/eighteen years old, holding a blue umbre.
Big senior brother look! The male in white robes tugged the elegant man, pointing at the bulge in the snow.
The elegant man studied it carefully and suddenly withdrew his eyes. Facing the direction of the carriage, he said Shifu, there seems to be a person buried underneath the snow.
At this moment, an old man came out of the carriage. The old man had a hair of silver. His face was covered in traces the years has left on his face, but he appeared very pink and in high spirits. He was obviously in good health. This old man was the pugilistic worlds illustrious Medical Valleys guzhupeople of the pugilistic world call him Gui Yi Zi.
Medical Valley. People of the pugilistic world do not know what it looks like. Moreover no one has ever entered the Medical Valley. The Medical Valleys guzhu is Gui Yi Zi. Gui Yi Zi has five direct disciples. It is said that the people of Medical Valley are all males, because Gui Yi Zi feels that women are too troublesome. The reputation of Gui Yi Zi is both good and bad, for Gui Yi Zis is highly skilled in medicine, but does not have a charitable heart. Those who are pleasing to the eye, he will do his best to save, while those who are disagreeable to the eye might be killed directly.
Gui Yi Zi led the two disciples towards the bulge in the snow. His fifth disciple was called Gui Wu, and so in order, his oldest disciple is called Gui Yi. These names were all given by Gui Yi Zi. The reason was because it was easy to remember and not troublesome.
Gui Wu walked forward and dug open the thick white snow. But the sight they saw shocked the three of them.
Buried in the snow was a seven/eight-year-old girl. The silver-white snow fell from the sky and sprinkled on the on sleeping girl in the snow. A head of ck hair like a waterfall flowed down, against the silver-snow appeared even more ck and shiny. The girls face was peaceful and mellow, white transparent skin, delicate facial features, the face radiates a charming luster under the illumination of the snow. Even though she was still young, the face has not yetpletely matured, but the beauty was already heart-stirring. If given time, she will definitely be an unparalleled beauty of this world.
Gui Yi Zi reached out a hand to diagnose the pulse of the girl lying in the snow and was instantly shocked, This girl must have fallen from the top. Her entire body is covered in countless injuries.
So grave! To fall from such a high cliff and actually hasnt died yet, this little sister really is lucky. Gui Wu watched the little girl who slept in the snow like a snow fairy-child.
But unexpectantly, this girls body has been subjected to a lot of deadly poisons. In addition, her body has withstood a beating. The body itself is almost exhausted. Now having fallen from the top and been freezing in the snow for so long, whether she will live is uncertain Gui Yi Zi sighed. This girl met the old mans eye-affinity but didnt think the body has be like this.
Who is so heartless? To go so far to treat a child like this? They might as well have directly killed. Instead, they ce so many toxic poisons; the idea is really too malicious. Gui Yi also diagnosed the girls pulse. He had a little sympathy for this girl. He couldnt believe that a child actually suffered through so many hardships.
Shifu, save her! Gui Wu saw the girl was about to die, for the first time making a request from Gui Yi Zi. After all, ording to Gui Yi Zis usual temperament, straight-up leaving was a very normal urrence.
Gui Yi Zi looked at the girl on the snow, picked up the ice-cold girl and walked towards the carriage. As soon as he picked up the girl, even Gui Yi Zi shivered from the cold. How is this still a person? It clearly was an ice cube! Even like this she still hasnt died, it seems to be Heavens will!

03 Medical Valley

A carriage suddenly disappeared into thin air then reappeared in the mountain valley.
Unlike the cold and heavy snow from the bottom of the cliff, in a sh, the sky was clear, like a sapphire that was washed with water. The white clouds seemed to go through seventy-two metamorphoses, one moment like a lofty steed galloping, sometimes like a squirrel jumping. Wild geese lined up neatly flying towards the south. One moment they are arranged in a straight line and another moment in a V-shape. From a distance came the sounds of a beautiful song. It turned out to be severalrks singing.
The stream was crystal clear. It was possible to see the little fish ying. The mountain peaks shoot straight up into the sky. If a person who fears heights looks down from the top of the mountain, they will definitely be scared to death. Standing at the top of the mountain, you will feel ck Mountain Valley is like a tall giant, and you were a tiny grain of fine sand.
At the entrance into the valley, two men in cyan clothes respectfully said towards the carriage, Guzhu
The carriage did not stop. Instead it drove at a very fast speed into the valley. Here is the Medical Valley that everyone in the pugilistic world feels is mysterious. Gui Yi Zi and his disciples live in the only mountain peak in the Medical Valley.
It looks like that guzhu seems to be very anxious? Guard 1 said in puzzlement.
En, it seems so. This is not something we should worry about. We should continue to guard the entrance to the valley well. Guard 2 replied.
The carriage drove along on a smooth road towards the mountain peak. No one would have thought that this mountain would have a wide mountain path, just like any normal road.
shifu The three disciples, who has received the message that their shifu was returning, were standing outside the house and called out to Gui Yi Zi who just stepped off the carriage.
This is the highest ce in the Medicine Valley as well as the residence of these people. In the quiet mountain forest, a house greets the eye. If looked at closely, it was made by connecting wooden boards piece by piece, and a very pointed roof. The crimson roof tiles were particrly eye-catching under the sun.
Gui Yi Zi did not speak to his disciples like usual. Instead, from the inside of the carriage, he carried out a frail little girl, which shocked the three men. Shifu actually brought an outsider into the valley, and it was even a little girl.
Gui San immediately prepare a medicine bath! Gui Yi Zi said to Gui San.
All five disciples immediately began preparing for the medicine bath. Gui Yi and Gui Wu were quicker, knowing the girls body couldnt wait.
Having prepared the medicine bath and other things, they all stood by Gui Yi Zi watching Gui Yi Zi treat the girl. The three other people also saw the girl clearly. Hair as dark as paint, skin like jade. A beautiful woman lives in the deep valley, the appearances is an unparalleled beauty of the world. Even though her age was young, it could not cover up her beauty.
Gui Yi Zi put the girl into the medicine bath, mobilized his internal energy to treat the girl. After who knows how much time has passed, the girl soaked in the medicine bath spewed out a mouthful of dark blood, but still remained unconscious.
Just barely managed to keep her life. Gui Yi Zi used internal force to dry the clothes on the girls body, then ced the girl into bed, covering her with a nket.
Not even shifu can save her? Gui Wu asked incredulously.
En, this girl has been poisoned too much in the body, and because of too many poisonous toxins, they have derived into another kind of poison. I can only try my best. Gui Yi Zi was also impressed that there existed a poison in the world that he couldnt dispel. No, rather, there is a new poison appearing in the world.
Gui Yi Zi went back to his room to study medicine, to see if there was any way to temporarily suppress the toxins in the girls body while the five boys stood outside the room.
Gui Wu, what happened? Gui Er asked baffled. He really couldnt understand how shifu could bring an outsider here.
Gui Wu told everyone about everything they encountered on the road, and also reported the girls injury and the innumerable poisons in her body. Upon hearing, they were shocked. After all, what kind of hatred could cause someone to treat a child like this? They could ept murder, even if it was a child, but they couldnt agree to torturing a child.
So pitiable Gui San, who had very littlepassion, felt this girl was pitiable.
Hmph, there is actually such hateful people. Gui Er said indignantly.
Alright, everyone is better off studying medicine, see if we can cure this girl Gui Si interrupted the dark moods of the several people.

Shifu, how is that little girl? Gui Wu hung onto Gui Yi Zi who just came out of the room and asked urgently.
Although the other senior brothers were not as obvious as Gui Wu, the worry in their eyes was real. This girls experience made people feel sorry for her. She looked like a little fairy-child, one look was enough to make people want to love her. You couldnt me the brothers for liking her so much.
Her life is saved, but every month she will have to suffer heart-wrenching pain. Gui Yi Zi said with emotion. He didnt know whether saving the girl was right or wrong. After all, this kind of heart-wrenching pain was something almost no one can endure, let alone a child of a few years old?
Ah, how could it be like this? Gui Wu said sadly. The little sister in the room was really too pitiful.
Gui Yi Zi looked at his own disciples. Gui Yi, 18 years old this year, had very white skin. At first nce, he seemed like a weak schr with very gentle and elegant looks.
Gui Er, 15 this year, looked very robust and his personality was also the most impulsive and violent.
Gui San, about the same age as Gui Er, had an exquisite appearance and distinct facial features. Amongst the brothers, he was the shrewdest.
Gui Si, this year 13, looked handsome but had a poker face and a benchmark lean figure and skin a healthy wheat color. He had a certain hidden in the city cold air about him.
Gui Wu, 10 this year, was also the youngest amongst the brothers. A round face, delicate and rounded eyes like a cute little animal, and personality was the liveliest.
Weishi ns to ept this little girl as a disciple. Afterwards you will be senior brothers, you must take care of junior sister! Gui Yi Zi stroking his white beard instructed these stinky brats. Since he didnt dislike this little girl and was also prepared to continue treatment, then hell ept her under his tutge.
Really? We have a little junior sister? Im not the youngest one anymore! Gui Wu rejoiced. Usually, because of his youngest age, he was always bullied by his senior brothers, although it was all just ying around.
Understood, shifu! The other four brothers all followed Gui Yi Zis instructions. This was their Medical Valleys first girl.
In the next few days, all five brothers worked diligently to care for the unconscious little girl. Gui Wu often came to the little girls room to look after the unconscious little junior sister, the love towards the little junior sister was incredibly rare to see.
Gui Wu stayed in the room watching little junior sister who slept like a little fairy-child, staring distractedly. He felt that his little junior sister was really good looking, prettier than anyone.
Suddenly, on the bed, the little girls long, curled eyshes trembled slightly. Every little tremor was soft like a feather.
Shifu, senior brothers, little junior sister seems to be waking up! Gui Wu shouted towards the outside of the door, like a little child shouting excitedly.
In a blink of an eye, Gui Yi Zi and the several senior brothers used qinggong toe to the room, carefully watching the little girl whose eyshes shivered slightly. It seems after struggling for a long time, the little girl finally opened her eyes.
Her eyes are limpid and bright like a clear spring and like watery grapes that people would never be tired of. The sparkling eyes were like stars reflected in a stream. These eyes were too pure, but there seemed to be nothing in them. Looking closely, youd feel it was filled with grief.
Gui Wu gingerly asks the little girl who just opened her eyes, Little junior sister, how are you?, but inside was thinking, little junior sister was really beautiful. When unconscious she was already beautiful like goddess, and now with open eyes looked even more beautiful.
Lan You Nian looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, the unfamiliar crowd. Everything was unfamiliar. But that unforgettable betrayal she still remembered clearly.
Lan You Nian did not speak, or perhaps she didnt even want to speak. Whether it was that world or this world, it was meaningless to her.
Little girl, does your body still hurt? Gui Yi Zi seeing that the little girl did not speak, nor did she have a surprised expression promptly asked.
Still having not answered, Lan You Nian closed her eyes. She was so tired, so so tired. Her heart was tired.
Gui Yi Zi checked Lan You Nians body again. Except for the poisonous body, there was not much problem, but in the future would not be able to bear the cold. He asked Lan You Nian some questions, but Lan You Nian did not answer any, as if she could not hear.
Could little junior sister be a mute! Gui Er seeing Lan You Nian did not have any words, expression or action asked.
I have taken her pulse, there is no problem with her throat, so she cant be a mute Gui San exined.
Then what is going on, howe little junior sister wont speak? Gui Wu said urgently. He really wanted to hear little junior sisters voice.
They all walked out of the room. Gui Yi Zi said to his five disciples, This little girl probably doesnt talk because of psychological reasons or has suffered a huge blow. There is no way to cure it. We can only wait and see.
Ah? Little junior sister is really pitiful, I will definitely be good to little junior sister in the future. Gui Wu vowed.
Although the other brothers did not say anything, but towards that little girl, they truly regarded her as a little junior sister. So, from today on will take good care of her.
At this time, Gui Yi Zi was thinking about letting that little girl learn martial arts and medical skills with him. After all, this little girl was really to his liking. The eyes were crystal clear showing she was not a sinister person. After receiving such grave injuries, waking up she must be in a lot of pain yet does not utter a single word, indicating that the little girls tolerance was beyond that of a normal person. The more Gui Yi Zi thought, the more he felt this little girl was very good. He must be sure to teach diligently.

05 Original Bodys Memories (1)
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian nkly regarded everything before her. The table in front of her was carved of fine sandalwood and meticulously engraved with different patterns, spreading an aura of delicacy and gentleness over everything. Through the window, you could see a glimpse of enchanting scenery, rolling hills, a small pond, blue-green lotus roots, and pink water lotus. From time to time someone passed by, although the footsteps were extremely soft, the conversation was extremely quiet, you could still hear the five men who just entered.
Lan You Nian knew that she really had died, belonging to the smashed into smithereens kind of death. At the time, she did not feel any pain, but her heart felt like it was being sliced with a knife. Even now, that heart was distinctly in pain.
Her mind was filled with bits and pieces of memories. The fragment that flooded into her mind made Lan You Nian suddenly feel a headache. Curled up on the bed, Lan You Nian endured the headache, absorbing this bodys memories.
Lan You Nian, with a sweaty forehead, absorbed the new memories in her head. This bodys name was Lan You Nian, the same as her own name. Perhaps this was destined by fate?
Lan You Nian, Feng nations General Lans legitimate daughter, was also General Lans youngest daughter. Lan You Nians father was called Lan Jian Jun, Feng nations general who was regarded highly by the Emperor. In Feng, Lan manor was well-known.
Speaking of this Lan Jian Jun, ording to this bodys memories, he was a lovesick man. Lan You Nians mother was called He Xiao Ran. She was Feng or perhaps the entire mainds well-known beauty. She was also Royal Tutor He s daughter. The couple were childhood sweethearts. Lan Jian Juns love towards He Xiao Ran can be described as have made many unmarried maidens jealous.
On this maind, females can marry at 16 and males have be-of-age at 18. When He Xiao Ran was 16, Lan Jian Jun married Fengs number one beauty He Xiao Ran with ten miles of red portions. Even now, this moment was still an interesting story that people talk about.
He Xiao Ran after having married Lan Jian Jun, both man and wife were as in love as they were before. Lan Jian Juns care towards He Xiao Ran was the same as before. However, despite being married for 4-5 years, He Xiao Ran has not be pregnant. Gradually rumors spread more and more fiercely, but Lan Jian Jun remained the same, even didnt take any concubines.
Perhaps due to fearing that He Xiao Ran was too upset; the couple finally adopted a boy. He became He Xiao Rans son and Lan You Nians big brotherLan Mo Xian. This Lan Mo Xian was the child of Lan Jian Juns good friend and subordinate. The man died in battle and his wife also died the previous year, so Lan Jian Jun put Lan Mo Xian over for adoption to He Xiao Ran.
The three people lived happily, but who knew what happened, Lan Jian Jun finally took concubines. Although it was only one woman, he truly did ept that woman into Lan manor. That woman was An yiniang. Speaking of An yiniang, she didnt disappoint. In the few years of marriage, she gave Lan Jian Jun two daughters and one son, seemingly has some tricks up her sleeves.
Although Lan manor came one An yiniang, Lan Jian Jun never questioned about her and towards those three children he only possessed an indifferent attitude. It could not bepared to his treatment of the adopted Lan Mo Xian and towards He Xiao Ran was the same as ever.
But what was unexpected was, over many years of nursing back to health, He Xiao Ran became pregnant. This for Lan Jian Jun was very good news. He was even more careful towards the care of He Xiao Ran. But when He Xiao Ran was pregnant eight months, she suddenly prematurely gave birth.
After giving birth to Lan You Nian, when He Xiao Ran used up all her strength giving birth to Lan You Nian, she, unfortunately, passed away. Thus, Lan You Nians birthday was He Xiao Rans day of death, a death in exchange for new life.
However, Lan You Nian felt this incident was suspicious. How could a premature birth happen so suddenly? This matter had several questionable points. That An yiniang was absolutely suspect.
His wifes departure made Lan Jian Jun full of resentment against the newly born Lan You Nian. He felt that Lan You Nian killed his beloved woman. Therefore, after the birth of Lan You Nian, although Lan Jian Jun made sure Lan You Nian was never materiallycking, he never went to look at this daughter. To her, he also held an attitude of indifference
In the ancient times innerpound, with no mothers love and fathers protection, one can imagine how miserable Lan You Nians life was. The only person in the manor who protected Lan You Nian was the child big brother Lan Mo Xian. But Lan Mo Xian was just a child, how much could he protect her?
However, because of Lan Jian Jun, although An yiniang privately allowed the people in the manor to insult Lan You Nian, she did not dare to take Lan You Nians life. This is where Lan You Nian was fortunate.
But when Lan You Nian was five years old, with the war at the border urging, a royal decree was sent down. Lan Jian Jun was required to go to battle to protect Feng. Because Lan Mo Xian was the legitimate oldest son and also a male, Lan Jian Jun took Lan Mo Xian to the border to toughen him up. As for Lan manors Lan You Nian, Lan Jian Jun left several loyal caretakers and instructed An yiniang and the housekeeper to take good care of her, then left for the frontier.
Without Lan Jian Juns presence, and even Lan Mo Xians care, the entire Lan manor was under An yiniangs control. Towards this thorn in her eye, she considered Lan You Nian as an obstacle in her path. An yiniang got rid of the people Lan Jian Jun left to care for Lan You Nian, and even bribed the housekeeper. She beat Lan You Nian for no reason, didnt allow her to eat good or wear warmly, and had her doing a servants work.
Outside, rumors even spread that Lan You Nian, Lan manors legitimate daughter, ruined her face due to mischievousness, bing an ugly girl. At such a young age, Lan You Nians reputation was thoroughly ruined by An yiniang. In the capital city, even three-year-olds knew that Lan manors legitimate daughter Lan You Nian, was a mischievous and ugly girl, with absolutely no skills in the four arts.
yiniang: stepmother/concubine
four arts includes ying the zither, strategy game of Go, calligraphy and painting
the ten miles of red portions refers to the girls dowry, there is a procession in ancient marriage where the dowry leaves with the bride in red caskets, the more dowry the more precious the bride is to her parents

06 Original Bodys Memories (2)

The corner of Lan You Nians tightly shut eyes spilled out crystal teardrops, like the dew on flower petals on a summer morning that will fall with a soft touch.
Lan You Nian knew these werent her own tears; they were the tears of the lonely little girl. Reaching out a slim white hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eye, Lan You Nians memory hadnt stopped and continued to show Lan You Nian her pain.
Although little Lan You Nians poor reputation had long been circted in the capital, how could An yiniang leave this thorn in her eye alone? An yiniang found a lot of deadly poisons for Lan You Nian to eat. Watching Lan You Nian in pain made her happier. Despite Lan You Nian being under the continuous torture, An yiniang was finally dissatisfied with the daily beatings and insulting Lan You Nian; An yiniang thought of a better method.
An yiniang spread rumors that Lan You Nian did not respect the elderly, had no regards for precedence, so she wanted to send Lan You Nian to a remote manor. This matter was sent to the Lan Jian Jun through the housekeeper, and sure enough, Lan Jian Jun epted An yiniangs advice.
While Lan Jian Jun did not like Lan You Nian, but remembering the flesh and blood kinship, he still sent severalpetent subordinates to look after Lan You Nian. But how could a few people be An yiniangs opponent? An yiniang killed the loyal people and concealed the news.
Could An yiniang really send Lan You Nian to the manor to self-cultivate? Of course not. An yiniang sold Lan You Nian to a brothel. Little Lan You Nian actually ended up in a brothel. Upon entering the brothel, the brothel owner listened to An yiniangs instructions and let Lan You Nian do a lot of rough work bing no better than a rough maid.
Although she was afraid, Lan You Nian still obediently worked hard. But with her fairy-child looks in a brothel, how could she have a good life? Sure enough, many people took a fancy to young Lan You Nian and wanted her to apany guests. When An yiniang was aware of itter, she actually allowed the only 8-year-old Lan You Nian to apany guests. She gave her to those men with child-molesting fetishes to y with.
Although Lan You Nian was young, she knew that if she apanied those guests, it would not be a good ending. So she snuck out while the guard was loose. However, it was not long before she was discovered and then forced to the cliff. In front was the evil brothel thugs, behind was the bottomless cliff, thus little Lan You Nian jumped down from the cliff.
Lan You Nian could even feel the predecessors resentment and unwillingness when she fell from the cliff, the deep despair and sorrow towards life, the world, and people. That deep sorrow was simr to her own as if they were from the same person.
Fortunately, there were a lot of trees on the base of the cliff. Although there were no broken bones, after the impact of the cliff and many poisonous shocks to the body, the predecessor quietly died, and then ushered in her own soul.
Lan You Nian digested all the memories of her predecessor in her mind. For the sad little girl, Lan You Nian felt sorry for her. Since she took possession of her body, then she would let those who hurt her, one by one taste her own suffering.
The corner of her mouth rose slightly, but the destion in the smile could not be hidden. Although Lan You Nian was reborn, how could the wounds from before be truly forgotten? No, cannot, at least she Lan You Nian cannot. She couldnt ept the betrayal of her loved ones. Her memory still existed in her heart; it hurt like a twisting knife. How could she forget it?
Just like this, alone was good, this way no one will betray her, no one will hurt her, no one will use her. Perhaps then she might be a little happier in this life? Perhaps then the road ahead might be a little easier to walk?

07 Rainy Night
November 2, 2018

Sunlight passed through the denseyers of branches and leaves, printing the ground with copper-colored ques. The wind carried a little bit of warmth and the fragrance of flowers floated into the simple butfortable cottage.
Shifu, its already been half a year, why hasnt little junior sister spoke yet? Gui Wu listlessly looked towards Gui Yi Zi who was preparing the antidote andined.
How can weishi know? It must be because you stinky brats have not been treating Xiao Nian Nian very good! Gui Yi Zi, knocked Gui Wu on the head, med.
What? We are really good to little junior sister. Senior brother, you guys, am I not right? Gui Wu confoundedly rubbed his forehead and turned to his senior brothers.
Of course, we really are very good to little junior sister! Gui Er vowed solemnly. They really did treat this little junior sister very well.
Gui Yi Zi did not speak, how can he not know? These stinky brats were really good towards Xiao Nian Nian, treating Xiao Nian Nian like their own sister. After this half a years getting along, he not only thought of Xiao Nian Nian as his apprentice, he even doted on Xiao Nian Nian like his own granddaughter. But even so, except for the first time when Xiao Nian Nian said she was called You Nian, she did not speak one word for half a year.
She was clearly an eight-year-old child but was so quiet as if she had experienced the vicissitudes of the world. Those clear eyes revealed sadness but also loneliness. But what made Gui Yi Zi proud was, Xiao Nian Nian was an absolute genius. She was a quick learner, even faster than Gui San who was the smartest amongst the five apprentices. The five stinky brats couldnt help but admire, proiming junior sister was a genius.
Although all six of them did not speak outright, their hearts ached for Lan You Nian. Every month when the poison took effect, Lan You Nian trembled from pain, sweating cold sweat continuously, but never made a sound. Even if her lips were bitten till it bled, she never shed a single tear. How much endurance was needed in order to do this? What must have been experienced to not fear pain? How can this kind of Lan You Nian not make people feel heartache?
Little junior sister, why dont you sleep a little more? Gui Yi hurriedly asked upon seeing Lan You Nian fully clothed in white approaching. After all,st night Lan You Nian just experienced the effects of the poison, so she should be resting this morning.
Lan You Nian smiled gently, a cloud-like fleeting smile. After half a years getting along, Lan You Nian truly felt the goodwill of these people towards her. She would be lying if she said she was not touched. She thanked these people for their care but still couldnt let go of the knot in her heart and remained silent.
Everyone has be ustomed to Lan You Nians silence. They smiled and continued with the medicinal materials in their hands. In the Medical Valley, after some time, everyone woulde to study medicine together, hoping to develop an antidote for Lan You Nians body as soon as possible.
In the dark night, the lightning was getting brighter and the thunder was getting louder and louder. Raindrops the size of beans rolled down from the sky, hitting the window with a baba sound, blotting out the sky and overwhelmed the earth as they fall from the sky, and huahuahua straight into the ground. The sound of the rain mixed with thunder and thundered like an explosion.
Familiar people, familiar modern decoration, and familiar pain, Lan You Nian stared at the blood on her chest, staring with wide eyes, just staring...
The little figure suddenly sat up. Lan You Nian never thought that after half a year had passed, she would dream about that, dream about the most painful moment in her previous life. She thought she had forgotten, but after the dream, she knew the painful memories never went far.
Lan You Nian went out of bed barefoot, came to the window and watched the rumbling, deafening thunder ringing outside, and the sound of the booming rain. Just like this, Lan You Nian rushed out of the house and stood in the pouring rain, wearing just a thin white robe, letting the overwhelming heavy rain pour over her thin and weak body.
Lan You Nian felt the coolness of the skin and the pain at the bottom of her heart. In this cold night, loneliness was uninvited, passed through the skin, and reached the depths of the soul! Looking up at the endless sky, Lan You Nian suddenlyughed out loud, but theughter was even more sad than crying. In this rainy night, theughter screamed like a snowbirdsment.
The master and disciple six who were awakened by Lan You Niansughter walked out of the room and saw the loneliness underneath the frail body. The crispughter was like a sad song, the heavy rain seemingly crying for the little lonely figure.
This moment in the rainy night was something the master and disciples would never forget for the rest their lives....

Gui Wu, the youngest, was the one who couldnt bear the most. Seeing little junior sister wasughing but it was even sadder than crying. He didnt even get an umbre and was prepared to run into the rain tofort little junior sister.
Gui Si stopped the youngest junior brother and reprimanded Gui Wu, what do you think youre doing?
Do you not see little junior sister is upset? And it is raining so heavily, little junior sisters body isnt very good. Im going to bring junior sister back Gui Wu impatiently looked at Gui Si.
Little junior sister is venting the emotions in her heart. Possibly after this, little junior sister will finally speak. If you go now, you might do more harm than good Gui San watched the little figure in the rain, his heart also breaking. This is the little girl who he treated like his own little sister.
Gui Wu still wanted to refute something but seeing the other senior brothers and shifu did not go out, he withdrew his step and intently stared at the pale little junior sister in the rain. Despite the sorrow, despite the helplessness, the straight back did not bend.
Gui Yi Zi watched Xiao Nian Nians heart-aching appearance and couldnt help but sigh. What happened to this little girl that would make her be like this, not even be able to cry? Although he once thought about investigating Xiao Nian Nians past, but felt if Xiao Nian Nian knew, based on her personality, she would not be happy. He felt like a good-for-nothing shifu.
The raindrops were like beads from a broken string. A drop, a strand, falling onto the puddles of rainwater. Raindropsnded on Lan You Nians head, on her body. Lan You Nian faced up, wide-eyed, watching the little raindrops in the air.
No one knew how long it rained, or how long Lan You Nian was drenched in the rain. After a long time, Lan You Nian turned around. Even if the hair was scattered, the clothes were dripping, Lan You Nians eyes still sparkled with light. In that instant, she raised a bright smile that touched people deeply.
Shifu Because she hadnt spoken for so long, Lan You Nians voice was very weak, even carried a little hoarseness. But it could not cover up the beautiful spring water-like sound, prating deeply into the heart.
Gui Yi Zi suddenly hearing his youngest apprentice finally speak, excitedly widened his eyes, then nodded, but the loving expression on his face was unobstructed.
Little junior sister, you finally spoke! Gui Wu immediately pulled Lan You Nian into the hallway, excitedly looked at Lan You Nian.
Little junior sister, why only call shifu, not even calling senior brother ah! Gui Yi was also very happy little junior sister finally spoke, but she only called shifu so was unsatisfied.
Alright, Gui Er quickly hold Xiao Nian Nian and take her back. After being drenched with rain, she must have been affected by a cold. Gui San go simmer a hot bowl of cold dispelling soup Gui Yi Zi saw Xiao Nian Nians pale face and trembling body, timely stopped the debate between the stinky brats.
After Gui Yi Zis reminder, they finally realized that they had neglected little junior sisters fragile body. Gui Er quickly carried the child Lan You Nian into the room while the others boiled water, boiled medicine. Into the middle of the night, the medical peak where they lived was actually very lively, and the reason for all this was because of the youngest child, Lan You Nian.
Lan Nian was lying on the bed, her body covered with a thick quilt brought by oldest senior brother Gui Yi. Seeing the people who shes been with together for half a year busy and caring for her, this feeling was really good.
In the past six months, although she didnt talk, but towards everyones care for her she was not untouched. This kind of care that didnt contain any impurities let Lan You Nian put these people under her own peoples zone. They are the ones who are very good to her since she came to this world.
Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, little fifth brother Lan You Nians crisp sound suddenly sounded and the several people who were busying about for Lan You Nian were stunned. Then they were pleasantly surprised. Their little junior sister finally spoke, even calling them, not senior brother, but older brother. This showed little junior sister saw them as family.
Lan You Nian did not act on a momentary impulse to call them older brothers, rather, she really felt they were her loved ones, even if in the previous life her loved ones wielded their swords at her. But in these five older brothers eyes, Lan You Nian was still a child. Because they were good to her, so they were older brother, not senior brother. But whether it was older brother or senior brother, this little girl was the person they wanted to protect.
Little junior sister, you are finally willing to call us! Gui Wu blinked his big eyes at Lan You Nian.
Okay, okay, Xiao Wu, why have you not gone to boil water? Gui Yi was trying to prevent Gui Wu from twittering nonstop, hurriedly made him go boil water.
Lan You Nian did not know at this time, just because of this one call of older brother, from then on, in the years toe, the five brothers really loved her as a little sister, as a family to care for.

09 Leaving the Valley
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Two yearster...
A quaint and exquisite cabin was located in the depths of the mountain peaks. The wood cabin after the passing of time had be full of vicissitudes of life. The annual rings of the trees were highlighted, which gave them a certain charm. The big tree next to it had been around for hundreds of years. Many small twittering birds had built their nests on the trees, and the flowers in the surrounding gardens were blooming.
Xiao Nian Nian, you really want to leave the mountain? Gui Yi Zi held onto Lan You Nians luggage and said with unwillingness to let go.
Right, little junior sister, youre only ten years old, youre too young. We were all fifteen when we left the mountain to gain experience, Gui Er pulled his hair, disapproving of Lan You Nians actions.
Little junior sister, you can leave the valley after a few years. If you want to go out and y, let shifu take you out. Its too dangerous by yourself, Gui Wu had grown a lot taller, but that baby-face had not changed.
Lan You Nian looked at the people in front of her who were looking at her with disapproving eyes. She was also very helpless. After two years together, Lan You Nian discovered that Gui Yi Zi was not as frightening as the people of the pugilistic world made him out to be. It was normal for him to act spoiled and cute, like an old man-child. And the five brothers, dont look at their normal serious appearances, like immortals who are untouched by this world, but in front her were all man-childs.
Shifu, brothers, it is not like you do not know my abilities Lan You Nian exined.
They did not speak. Indeed, Lan You Nian was very clever. It could be said that she was a rare genius seen once in a hundred years. Whether it was studying medicine or studying martial arts, she was a quick learner. Now, Lan You Nians martial arts was very good, even slightly higher than Gui Wus abilities. Moreover, many of Lan You Nians actions were not like a child, too cold. But no matter how powerful Lan You Nian was, in front of these people, she was simply a smart child.
Xiao Nian Nian, would you like some of these stinky brats leave the valley with you? Gui Yi Zi tried to negotiate.
Yeah, little junior sister, let Xiao Wu gege apany you! Gui Wu upon hearing Gui Yi Zis suggestion, very much agreed.
Xiao Wu, you have never left the valley, so how can you protect little junior sister? Gui San opened the fan that he carried everywhere with him and struck a blow. Little junior sister, how about let third brother apany you? Third brother knows where is the most fun so can take you to y!
If you take little junior sister out of the valley, you will definitely lead little junior sister astray. I feel it is best if I take little junior sister out of the valley Gui Si refuted with a cold face. After all, Gui San has passed through a million flower clusters yet not a leaf stained his clothes. Every time he left the valley, he would seduce some youngdies soul.
Gui San coughed ufortably. Even shifu red at Gui San, fearing that Gui San will lead his precious apprentice stray, especially as this apprentice was a girl. If she was led down the wrong path, who would he cry to!?
It should be me who apanies little junior sister out of the valley. After all, I am little junior sisters big brother Gui Yi said gently.
I think it should be me. I know how to take care of people the most Gui Er said without missing a beat. The others looked at the Gui Er contemptuously. It would be great if your hot temper did not add to the chaos.
Shifu, I am You Nian. More than that, I am Lan You Nian, Feng nations General manors eldest young miss! Lan You Nian looked earnest and serious.
The five apprentices and shifu were stunned. Although they were in the Medical Valley, they were still aware about the outside world. They often went out and knew Lan family had an unloved Lan family legitimate daughter, but they did not expect that girl to be the little junior sister who had lived with them for so long.
Little junior sister, you.... Gui Yi wanted to speak but couldnt say anything. Little junior sister originally had a distinguished identity, but she ended up covered with injuries. He could imagine how upset little junior sister was in her heart.
Shifu, brothers, You Nian has her own things to do, has her own revenge to enact. More so has to take back what belongs to her. These things You Nian wishes to be able to do herself with her own power. If I cannot even protect myself, what else can You Nian do in the future? Lan You Nian interrupted Gui Yis words.
The several people did not say anything for a long time. Although they were not willing to let a 10-year-old girl go out to face the intrigues, but everyone needed to grow up.
Alright, you go! Take care of yourself. Youre not allowed take too long! Otherwise weishi will drag you back Gui Yi Zi waved his hand and returned to the cabin to study medicine.
Little junior sister, take care! The five brothers were reluctant to part.
En, I will return quickly! Lan You Nian, without looking back, headed towards the bottom of the mountain peak. Her posture was beautiful and graceful.

Lan You Nian walked on the winding mountain road, breathed in the scented fragrance in the fresh air, admired the fragrant and vivid green flowers and trees, and listened to the warbled chanting of the birds in the forest. This was the supreme form of enjoyment.
No one would have thought that the Medical Valleys entrance was actually in this mountain forest. The entrance even had a magic array enchanting it. It was no wonder that people of the pugilistic world couldnt find the Medical Valley. If shifu did not tell her, Lan You Nian did not know how long it would take to find the entrance.
Gazing at the green willow tree made people bright-eyed and hearts refreshed, giving a sense of freshness. The rich canopy of por seemed a deeper color of green, plus the tall and straight trunk made people feel it had an imposing appearance.

ruqun-(you can use your imagination for the embroidered flowers and colors)
Lan You Nian wore a pure white ruqun, the skirt was embroidered with a beautiful fiery red spider lily. This maind did not have this kind of flower. The bottom half of the face below the eyes was covered with a pure white veil. The hair was just casually tied up like a mans. You could only see a pair of clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, long eyshes trembling slightly, and the wless skin exposed a faint blush.
Wearing a veil was not only convenient, but the main thing was, Lan You Nian has seen her own face. Although young and hasnt matured yet, but it was still an alluring budding beauty. People all say that beauties have unfortunate lives. These words were something Lan You Nian believed in. If one was not strong enough, this face would only bring her trouble. So when leaving the valley, Lan You Nian put on ayer of gauze fabric to cover her face.
This is the first time Lan You Nian left the valley sinceing to this world, so Lan You was not in a hurry but was slowly walking in this mountain forest admiring the scenic views. Moreover, this time Lan You Nian did not leave the valley to go back and get revenge for her predecessor, but to create her own force of power.
Suddenly, the sound of a fight traveled into her ears. Lan You Nians martial abilities were very good, her hearing was also good, and because of her previous life, was very sensitive to the smell of blood in the air. This was amon affliction shared by those who belonged to the darkness.
Feng Yi Xuans unparalleled face was wan and sallow, but it could not conceal the aura of an overlord. The wolf-like purple eyes looked at the people who pursued him. Because he identally got poisoned, he was unable to use internal force and his shadow guards were dispersed as well. However, Feng Yi Xuan did not panic, there wasnt even a little fear. He will not die, even if he had no internal force, he could still kill these people.
The people who pursued Feng Yi Xuan upon seeing his eyes were stunned. The rumors were true after all. Ming wang actually did have a pair of devil-like eyes. But why would the eyes be normal for so many years? How could they know Feng Yi Xuan usually used a medicinal potion to change the color of his eyes? This time because of being poisoned the eyes returned to their normal color.
The Empress really thinks highly of me, even dispatching death warriors Feng Yi Xuans robed were flying, like a demon from hell, cold and ruthless making people scared.
The several death warriors were, at this moment, frightened by Feng Yi Xuan. They looked at each other, then raised their swords and attacked Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan took out a sword that he had never used before. When several people rushed towards him, Feng Yi Xuan moved. Even if there was no internal force, it was still as fast as lightning. In a few breaths, the death warriors had all fallen to the ground dead.
Feng Yi Xuan sat down against a towering tree. At this time, the bodys poison was afflicting him. However, except for his pale face, you couldnt see that he had been poisoned. This persons endurance was very strong, Lan You Nian, who had been hiding in the distance, thought.
Lan You Nian did not like to be nosy unless that thing was beneficial to her. But now Lan You Nian watching this lone wolf, proud but deste man, was like seeing the her from before. Lan You Nian could tell the man had been poisoned. If the poison was not cured immediately, it would be life-threatening.
Lan You Nian came slowly towards him from a distance, alerting Feng Yi Xuan who was currently meditating.
Feng Yi Xuan opened his eyes and looked towards Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian also looked at the man sitting under the tree. This one look decided the fates of the two people. In the future, they would be together in life and death, never leave or forsake.

Feng Yi Xuan observed the little girl who was slowly walking towards him. It was indeed a child who seemed about ten years old. She wore a veil on her making it impossible to see her face. You could only see a pair of eyes as pure as the sky.
The moment the girl appeared, Feng Yi Xuan felt the world became bleak and dull. Wherever she passed, it seemed the flowers shamefully closed their petals. The figure carried a peaceful andfortable aura. Every move seemed to have been carefully ced by a master artist. It was elegant and pleasing to the eye, making it impossible for Feng Yi Xuan to look away.
Feng Yi Xuan felt very strange himself. Based on how unsocial and cold he was, not mentioning little girls, even towards a child, he was full of vignce. But now, in the wilderness appeared a strange little girl out of nowhere, he actually didnt feel any repulsion towards her. Perhaps it was because those pair of eyes were too pure.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian. Suddenly he remembered his eyes had recovered to purple. In this world, as long as someone saw the color of his eyes, that person would be killed by him. But this little girl, seeing the color of his eyes, did not show any shock or fear, as if he and other people were the same. It was the first time someone looked at his eyes with the most ordinary expression in their eyes.
Lan You Nian regarded the man who sat on the ground, but it did not diminish his regal demeanor. This man was only about 16 or 17 years old. Just looking from far away, you could see that the height was tall, at least 6 feet tall. He wore a cloud patterned wide-sleeved robe, the jade-like texture was luxurious andfortable.
He had a head of long ck hair, handsome facial features as if cut by a knife. Underneath thick sword-shaped eyebrows were a pair of deep purple eyes, the bridge of the nose was high and straight, rose-colored thin lips slightly rising. The sun scattered on his skin making the entire person seem abnormally sinful.
Lan You was unable to deny, this mans appearance was unparalleled, but she was not really an ignorant girl. Her heart was simply stagnant waters, so Lan You Nian only nced at it once, then came to the side of Feng Yi Xuan and lowered her body to look at him.
Feng Yi Xuans body stiffened. Ever since he understood things, no one had been able to get so close to him. No matter if it was male or female, his mysophobia was very severe, but at this moment, he did not strike out the girl. He could even smell the girls body fragrance, it was not any kind of spices or cosmetics, but a natural sweetness.
Lan You Nian studied the mans poison and knew this was a very toxic poison. Coincidentally she had the antidote on hand. Lan You Nian opened her luggage and handed over a pill to the man in front of her. Whether he trusted her or not was his problem, eat or not eat was also his problem, she Lan You Nian did not have that much kindness.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the ten fingertips that were like bamboo shoots on slender hand, picked up the pill, then ate it, forgetting his mysophobia, also forgetting his cautious character.
When the pill entered his body, Feng Yi Xuan could clearly feel the poison in his body was gradually receding and his internal force was beginning to recover.
Lan You Nian studied at the man in front of her. He didnt ask, just ate it, it was very strange. After all, she could see this mans suspicious personality. However, this problem had nothing to do with her. Lan You Nian stood up, didnt look back, and prepared to leave.

The little girl viewed from behind seemed deste and graceful, that surrounding aura of loneliness made Feng Yi Xuans ice-cold heart slightly waver. Even Feng Yi Xuan didnt notice it.
Wait! the jade-like sound eximed, the voice was low, rich with maism, hoarseness, andziness.
Lan You Nian stopped and was very puzzled by this mans call. She turned back and looked at Feng Yi Xuan, her eyes posed her question.
Feng Yi Xuan saw the little girl stopped. Dont know why but his heart felt relieved. When he observed the girl again, he discovered that the unique pair of eyes were not only pure as a babes, but on a closer inspection, discovered a deste wastnd inside the pair of eyes. There was grief and despair within its depths. What was going on? How could these eyes belong to a little girl? Feng Yi Xuans heart felt stuffy as if out of breath.
(cough) Feng Yi Xuan coughed ufortably. He didnt know why he called out to this girl, but he just didnt want her to leave.
Dont you think my eyes are strange? Arent you afraid? Feng Yi Xuan was shocked when he finished speaking. If it were any other person, he would have already chased them off. Who cared if they were scared or not? But he crazily wanted to know how this girl thought about the pair of eyes that the world was disgusted by.
Feng Yi Xuan carefully analyzed the eyes of the girl in front of him, wanting to find any expression of fear. But no, there wasnt any trace of it. He unknowingly released his breath.
Why be afraid? Your eyes are very special, very beautiful, Lan You Nian said earnestly. Those pair of eyes were really beautiful, even more beautiful than the colored contacts from her previous life. Walk your own path, make others have nowhere to go, thats all
The crisp sound of the flowing water entered Feng Yi Xuans ears, but the meaning behind the words made Feng Yi Xuans eyes shine. Right, he only walked his own path. Thinking about how he, a dignified wangye, when did he actually care about other peoples views? Covering the color of his eyes for so many years, walk his own path, make others have nowhere to go, such good saying! He had the power, the ability, the background, why should he be afraid of the worlds gossip?
Lan You Nian never imagined, the inte phrase she said so casually would actually touch such an outstanding man as him, it was a total misunderstanding.
When Feng Yi Xuan snapped out of his thoughts, he found the girl had already gone far. He tried to support his body to catch up with her, but found the pill was still taking effect. He couldnt stand up. He could only watch that girl walk farther and farther away. He didnt even have the chance to ask her name. This was the first time he could get close to a person, the first time he trusted someone. Even more, it was the first time he felt his own heart beating.
Lan You Nian saw the man eat the antidote then left. For her, once she turned around, she already forgot that man. Her heart could not amodate these, it was a deste wastnd. She didnt know, in the next few years, that man would search for her, never giving up.
Master, Three men wearing ck robes suddenly appeared in front of Feng Yi Xuan and knelt. Couldnt protect master, asks master to punish!
Feng Yi Xuan felt the poison in the body had beenpletely removed and stood up, No matter, have you seen a little girl?
The three shadow guards looked at each other, No!
An Yi, An Er, search the mountain immediately. Find a little girl wearing a veil. Do not hurt her! Feng Yi Xuan ordered.
Yes Although it was very unexpected that master paid attention to other people, even forbid them from harming, however, all they needed to do was obey!

Lan You Nian took breaks very often before finally arriving at the nearest town outside the Medical Valley-the Sunset City.
On both sides of the street, there were many shops. The dusky afterglow of the sunset lightly sprinkled on the red brick, green tiles or on top the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of haziness and poetic quality to the prosperous Sunset City.
This was the first time Lan You Nian saw the face of this ancient world. It seemed to be somewhat like the architecture of ancient China, but the difference is that in this world there actually exists qinggong, inner force, such things that were only seen in martial arts novels.
Lan You Nian needed to establish her own power. Since she Lan You Nian currently possesses the new ideologies from the 21st century, then she could start from business and hold the economic lifeline in order to control her own destiny. No matter where it was, money was an indispensable must.
What she needed most now was her own subordinates, but this couldnt be rushed. Fortunately, she was only ten years old. Many things could be taken slowly.
Beat him
Break his legs
Beat this bastard to death
At the moment Lan You Nian passed by a small alley, she heard the sounds of beating and verbal abuse from inside. Leaping onto the wall of the alley, Lan You Nian observed the scene happening on the ground.
They were all children, at least in Lan You Nians eyes, they were still children. Several 14-15-year-old, robust boys were kicking an only twelve-year-old boy who had fallen to the ground. Lan You Nian observed while listening to these childrens verbal insults.
Lan You Nian even noticed when every time those children cursed the boy on the ground a bastard, the boy on the ground would reveal a fierce wolf-like expression in his eyes. The hatred in his eyes was very agreeable to Lan You Nian. She liked people who refuse to admit defeat and were stubborn.
In the process of being beaten, although the boy tried to fight back and escape many times, but to no avail. But even so, the boy did not seem to give up nning an escape.
The courage of the few boys were getting bigger and bigger, one boy picked up a brick from the ground to smash it towards the head of the boy on the ground. Even if he did not die from this blow, it will still remove half a life.
The boy on the ground did not even close his eyes, just looked at his bullies with wide eyes, but the despair that shed within those eyes did not escape Lan You Nians notice.
The moment the brick in the boys hand was going to smash down, Lan You Nian extended a length of white silk to hinder the boys movements.
Scram! an ice-cold voice sounded as Lan You Nian stood in front of the boy and reprimanded the several other boys.
At first, the several boys were startled by Lan You Nians skill, but on closer inspection, seeing it was only a girl who was much smaller than them, their courage grew even more. They reached out to hit Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian did not even look at those boys, turned around and looked towards the boy on the ground.
Watch out! The boy on the ground looked behind Lan You Nian and screamed. But what made him even more frightened was that the boys fell to the ground before they could even touch Lan You Nian.
What is your name? Lan You Nian asked the boy on the ground.
This boy was very thin, looked frail and weak, and the contours of his face was not very symmetrical, but quite handsome, even has an eagle-hook nose. Dark brown hair grew very low, covering most of the forehead. A pair of big, dark eyes looked very lovable, but when it was angry, it shed with the most ferocious hateful expression, showing its fierceness.
I dont have a name the boys mood seemed very low when speaking about hisck of a name.
Will youe with me? Lan You Nian extended her very small but white as white-jade hand.
The boy looked at the hand stretched out in front of his eyes, seemed to see the future, but nced at his dark, dirty hands and lowered his head. Lan You Nian did not press. The boy wiped his hand on his own dirty clothes, then ced his hand in Lan You Nians hand, his expression firm, said Alright!
From now on, you will have myst name, your name is Lan Ren Lan You Nians voice sounded. She needed a de, a de that could break open a way through any obstacle.
Lan Ren greets young miss, Lan Rens hand was still in Lan You Nians hand as he knelt on the ground and respectfully said. This girl is his redemption, his master. He will no longer be the bastard everyone hates. He had his own name. He was called Lan Ren.

A solemn but luxurious pce, the ck que on the door was gilded with three characters Ming Wang Manor. Dragons and snakes follow ones writing brush, vigorous touches, and fine strokes.
Master, we havent been able to find that girl An Yi, kneeling on the ground, reported.
Feng Yi Xuan stood in front of the desk, seriously and devoutly making a painting. That pair of eyes held a gentleness that was never there before. An Yi suspected that he saw incorrectly. How could master have any gentleness?
Didnt find? Feng Yi Xuans good-looking eyebrows slightly knitted together. That girl being all on her own in the mountain forest, will she be in any danger?
Feng Yi Xuan carefullyid the just-finished painting on the desk, said towards An Yi who was kneeling on the ground Look, pass themand down. Pay attention to whether there is such a girl in the future. Once found immediately report!
An Yi walked towards the desk and saw the painting of the girl. Although the face of girl in the painting was covered with a veil, the aura waspelling. A beautiful woman lives in the deep valley, the appearances is an unparalleled beauty of the world.
Yes! An Yi knew the girl in the painting was the one who cured masters poison. However, ording to his style, even if the master was saved, he would not be concerned with it. Unless the master has taken a fancy to the little girl? No, its impossible. There has never been a woman within three feet of master, let alone a child. An Yi nearly felt that his masters attitude was making himself think strangely.
Feng Yi Xuan stood in front of the painting, intently staring at the girl in the painting. If his poison wasnt truly and absolutely cured, he would think that it was all a dream. In the dream, he met a little sprite that made him feel heart-ache.
He was vexed by this uncontroble feeling. He really felt that he has changed. After he came back, he no longer used the potion to hide the color of his eyes. He remembered the girls words in his heart. He no longer feared others who looked at him as if he was a monster because he knew, there was a girl in this world who was different.
The dark nights at the borders was an eye-full of endless yellow sands. This was a remote, deste ce, not even a trace of green life, only the troops that were stationed here.
A man in his thirties wearing a ck robe stood along the yellow sand, looking in the direction of the capital, with guilt and longing.
Father, itste, why havent you rested yet? A fifteen-year-old man wearing armor arrived at the middle-aged mans side. Is father worried about the war? The emperor has already decreed that Ming Wang will save the situation. With Ming Wangs talents, he can surely turn defeat into victory.
Mo Xian, this father is thinking about Nianer Lan Jian Juns eyes were full of longing.
Hearing Father talking about little sister, Lan Mo Xian did not make a sound. Towards this father, he was respectful, but the only dissatisfaction with this father was that he did not care about his Nianer meimei. This was the only estrangement between father and son.
I just dreamed of your mother. She med me for why I didnt love Nianer. It is father who let your mother down. Lan Jian Jun sighed.
Is Nianer meimei still well? Why did father send Nianer meimei to the outside manor? asked Lan Mo Xian frowning.
While your father isnt in the manor, it is difficult to prevent people from treating Nianer badly. These years, although father is not close with Nianer, she is still mine and Xiao Rans child, how could I now love? But this father cannot put aside Xiao Rans death, seeing Nianer, I would think of Xiao Ran, so could only alienate Nianer. Lan Jian Jun recalled those years. Whenever Nianer saw him, she used such lonely eyes to look at him, but he always turned a blind eye. It is not that he did not love. At night when his daughter was asleep, he used to secretly go see that well-behaved daughter. But while one part of his heart liked this child, another part resented this child. But now, he knew that he was wrong. He owed his daughter.
Now Nianer is much safer in the outside manor. The housekeeper sent me a message the day before saying Nianer is very obedient. I really owe Nianer Lan Jian Juns eyes were a little moist. After the recent dream, he understood he was wrong. That was the child he has been waiting for, loving for so long, just what has he done for so many years?
Lan Mo Xian wanted tofort his father, but he also felt that his father really ill-treated his little sister. When he thought of his poor little sister, Lan Mo Xian felt that his father had made a lot of mistakes. He didnt know if after going back to Jing city, Father makes up to Nianer meimei, will it make Nianer meimei happy? After all, Nianer meimei longed for fatherly love for so long.
How could Lan Jian Jun know, the daughter he wanted to make up to was already dead? She died with a deep unwillingness.

Three Years Later
In the middle of Medical Valleys garden of medicinal herbs and flowers was afortable lounge chair. A girlid on the lounge chair, basking in the sun. The female wore a white dress, like before, the skirt was embroidered with the devilish spider lily. Her hair shined and reached the legs, the skin seemed to be coated with gel because it was so crystal-white. Under the butterfly-like long eyshes was a pair of eyes that were as limpid and clear as ck pearls. Her white jade nose was pretty, pink colored lips were like blooming peach blossoms. Even the various exotic flowers and nts in the medicine garden all lost their colors in front of her. Even the clouds in the sky lost their luster.
Little junior sister is truly beautiful, even more beautiful than the celestial maidens in the sky Gui Wu watched with infatuation as Lan You Nianzed and basked in the sun.
Damn, seeing little junior sisters peerless face, now this young master feels that other girls are not enough to look at Gui San helplessly shook his folding fan. He used to like to flirt around with beauties outside, put on the airs of a cultured man, but now there was such a stunning little junior sister, looking at those women who he once thought beautiful, he simply couldnt find any interest.
Dont know who will receive the heavens favor to marry little junior sister Gui Si sighed coolly.
Who, who dares to covet our familys Xiao Nian Nian! Gui Yi Zi rushed out of the house and yelled at Gui Si Gui Si, you stinky brat, did you meet some shady people outside who want to steal away my Xiao Nian Nian.
Gui Si picked the ear that was almost thundered deaf by shifu. Shifu treated little junior sister like a precious treasure. In shifus eyes, the group of them were worthless stinky brats, while junior sister was the precious apprentice and granddaughter, incredibly pampered. However, they were not jealous. Their doting on little junior sister was not any less than shifus .
Shifu, dont get angry, who dares to have any ideas on little junior sister? We will definitely break his leg! Gentle Gui Yi said in a rare moment of bloodiness, truly reluctantly to part with this little junior sister.
You stinky brats better look after Xiao Nian Nian, if not the best men in the world, they are not worthy of our familys Xiao Nian Nian Gui Yi Zi went into the house to continue to study medicines, but still looked back to instruct the several disciples.
Little junior sister is still young. What is shifu worried about? Besides, with little junior sisters ice-cold personality, the average man couldnt stand it Gui Er, seeing several of his senior and junior brothers worries, felt that everyone was making a big deal of nothing.
Gui Er, do you mean to say little junior sisters personality is not lovable? Gui San smiled amicably, but the gentler that smiling face fox smiled, the more the heart was thinking about how to make you more miserable.
Gui Er shrank his neck. Having been together since childhood, Gui Er has long known Gui Sans disposition. He stuttered and said, I havent finished what little junior sister told me to do, I, I am going out to deal with things, then used qinggong to fly away.
Damn, we really are destined for a life ofbor. Little junior sister has us taking care of so many forces, only Gui Yi and Xiao Wu are mostfortable Gui San said with a headache. After so many years of getting along, they also changed from the calling of senior and junior brother to directly calling names, except for the most adorable Xiao Wu.
Have the time toin? Better go make more money, or little junior sister will sort you out, Gui Yi said with the feeling of taking pleasure in others misfortunes.
Gui Yi, looking at little junior sister whose beauty could overthrow states and cities but was still yet a child, remembered the various events of recent years. Since little junior sister left the valley three years ago, she returned to the valley after one year. By that time, little junior sister already created her own power in one years time, brothel, tavern, ...... After little junior sister returned, she asked for the brothers help. Once shifu heard it was little junior sisters matters, he quickly drove them out of the valley to help. Besides having to take care of the Medical Valley, he had his own medical hall outside, also one of little junior sisters forces. Xiao Wu did not intervene in other things. At that time, Xiao-Wu really wanted to help, but little junior sister did not give a direct answer. Only when leaving the valley, she was often apanied by Xiao Wu.
Nowadays, he managed the Medical Valley and the outside medical hall, Gui Er took care of the shadow guards, training little junior sisters subordinates. Gui Sans character was the most shrewd, little junior sister handed over many business matters to Gui San. Gui Si took care of the brothels; intelligence and the like belonged to Gui Sis management. Xiao Wu apanied little junior sister to help deal with some matters.
None of them thought that their little junior sister had such ambition. In the past three years, little junior sisters forces have be very strong, the conjectured Wu Qing gongzi by the people of the pugilistic world was little junior sister.
Alright, I better go hurry to make money, otherwise the moment little junior sister is unhappy, shifu will definitely make an example of me. The voice of Gui San interrupted Gui Yis thoughts, smiling at the others. Little junior sister not only gave them the opportunity to take care of her forces, more-so, allowed everyone to have their own pursuits. This was really good.

16 Shadow Guards and Servant Girls
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Young miss When Lan You Nian came out of Medical Valleys mountain forest, she saw the four people standing beside the horse carriage.
Of these four people was one male and three females. Two of the females were Lan You Nians personal maidservants. The other male and female were Lan You Nians shadow guards.
Lan Ren was dressed entirely in ck. Three years have passed. That weak little boy had grown into a man. The entire bodys aura was very restrained, generally like a statue. Only in front of Lan You Nian this master would he be a little bit lively.
Lan Feng, add a little onto de, indicating the des sharpness, also one of Lan You Nians shadow guards. The meaning of this name Lan You Nian gave her was not so different than Lan Rens. She hoped that these two people would be her own de. Perhaps it was amon affliction amongst shadow guards, Lan Feng was also a wood-block. But as soon as she spoke to Lan You Nian, she would reveal her casual nature. You couldnt see the helplessness and despair from the time Lan You Nian saved her. Being a female who became Lan You Nians shadow guard, one can imagine Lan Fengs singrity, everything in the eyebrows revealed heroic spirit.
Lan Wu and Lan Qu were Lan You Nians two personal maids. Giving such names also had their own meaning. Because Lan You Nian taught both people, only one in dancing, the other in music. Both of them had some talent, were very good learners, but could notpare to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian was born to render others speechless.
Lan Wu and Lan Qu once were notable families young miss, but when the family declined, ended up in brothels. Amongst all the other women, only the two of them dared to resist. Both of them even worked together to kill the burly man guarding them and sneakily escaped outside. Later when the brothels people caught up to them, it was Lan You Nian who saved them. At the time, Lan You Nian felt that these two not only were brave and astute, also being that these two were women, they had the spirit to dare to fight back, so saved them without much trouble. Afterwards, when both of them were willing to remain by her side, Lan You Nian agreed. But the two of them did not disappoint Lan You Nian. The two were very loyal and were very good at taking care of people.
~Lan Wu and Lan Qus dress (the skirt shouldnt be floor-length)~
Young miss, every time you go back is so long, Wuer really misses young miss Eighteen-year-old Lan Wu wore a blue-green muslin dress, the elegant jade face was painted with a light plum blossom makeup, the originally elegant face showed traces of allure. But those who were familiar with Lan Wu knew that although Lan Wu had a seductive appearance, her personality was very vivacious and very chaste to the bones.
Xiao Wu, how can you not be respectful again? Lan Qu berated Lan Wu, and then respectfully said to Lan You Nian Young miss, the carriage is ready. Do we depart now? Lan Qu and Lan Wus clothes were the same, the round face was cute, but was often straight faced, strict and attentive.
Go to Wu Qing Inn to rest first Lan You Nian directed. She actually didnt have a lot of time to go out. Out of one whole year, she would spend half a year just saying in the Medical Valley. Not only was it because her personality was cold, it was also because in the Medical Valley were all her own people. Shifu and several brothers were like family. There, she did not have to be on guard all the time, and her bodys poison had not been cured after so many years. In the Medical Valley, Lan You Nian would research with shifu, hoping to cure the poison as soon as possible.
Wu Qing Inn, Wu Qing Medical Hall, Wu Qing Restaurant, Wu Qing Brothel, as long as you find the shop with the two characters Wu Qing, those were all Lan You Nians power bases. These three years Lan You Nian could be described as having an overflowing purse, earning a lot of money. People called her Wu Qing gongzi, because people didnt know whether she was male or female, but thinking that the ability was so strong, determined it to be a young master.
When the first restaurant was built, Lan Ren asked Lan You Nian to pick a name, Lan You Nian casually said the Wu Qing two characters. In the past life, because she had too much affection, she died such a cruel death. In this life, she just wanted to protect her own people, be a heartless but purposeful person.
Arriving at Wu Qing Inn, Lan You Nian already changed into her male disguise. Lan You Nian wore a crescent-white brocade robe, a pair of eyes full of spirit was half squinted, the long jet-ck hair was raised into a high ponytail, only allowing a strand of hair hanging along each ear, appearing fresh and elegant. The face was covered by a mask, covering the face above the lips.
Master The inns manager was already waiting outside the inn very early. Seeing Lan You Nian get down from the carriage, he immediately went forward with a greeting.
Lan You Nian gently nodded her head and headed towards the third floor of the inn. The top floor of every one of Lan You Nians businesses were left to her own use, outsiders were not allowed inside.
Aftering to the clean and luxurious room on the third floor, Lan You Nian lied down on the recliner, and the sound of a slightly lowered voice sounded. This was the voice of Wu Qing gongzi. Compared to Lan You Nians sweet and soft voice, it was a little bit low and hoarse, How is the investigation?
Young miss, this subordinate discovered the fragrant lotus appeared on the outskirts of the city Lan Feng reported the results of the investigation to Lan You Nian.
En, depart tomorrow After Lan You Nian finished speaking, she closed her eyes. The four people immediately went out. Lan Wu and Lan Qu stood guard, while Lan Ren and Lan Feng went out to deal with matters. Although in a sense, Lan Ren and Lan Feng belonged to shadow guards, so they needed to not leave an inch in order to protect young miss, but this was not the case. Not taking into ount Lan You Nian leaving for the Medical Valley for a long time, in the process of knowing each other, Lan You Nian already gave them authority. A lot of little things were taken care of by them.
Lan You Nian calcted whether this time there would be other people who knew about the fragrant lotus. This timeing out to take the fragrant lotus was because the poison in her body could no longer be suppressed, the fragrant lotus was needed to temporarily suppress it.
The moonlight was like water. Under the pure moonlight, Lan You Nian was like a celestial maiden bathing in the moonlight...

All was quiet and still, the sky gradually grew dark, and all the sleeping creatures became quiet. The mountain range was smeared with a soft mist, the fog rendered everything under a look of haziness and illusion.
Lan You Nian and entourage rode horses to the outskirts of the city. In the dark, Lan You Nians white garment fluttered and blew under the encouragement of the night wind. The spider lily on the skirt was actually emitting green light in the dark night. Remembering when Gui Yi Zi saw the embroidered flower on Lan You Nians skirt glowing in the dark, he became excited like a child trying to figure it out. Lan You Nian had no choice but to tell him that it was just from the glow of the firefly, just added some while embroidering.
The single bloom of fragrant lotus was on the mountain peak of this suburb. Tonight, was when the fragrant lotus ripened and flowered. The fragrant lotus was only useful when it was picked when it has flowered, so this single nt of fragrant lotus was able to survive to this day. And because not many people know about fragrant lotuses, Lan You Nian believed that there would not be many people vying for this fragrant lotus today.
Abandoning the horses, the party used qinggong to get to the mountain peak. But what Lan You Nian did not expect was that not far away from the fragrant lotus was people already waiting. It seemed that they were waiting for the opening of the fragrant lotus.
Those who practiced martial arts could see things even in the dark, although they were not as clear as in the day, there was not much difference.
Lan You Nian came to a stop, sizing up the three people on the other side. The two who were waiting, from their demeanor, should be the subordinates, though the martial arts was not low, and the ability to hide from view was very good. Then the man who stood with his back to them should be the master. In the darkness, the ck brocade robe seemed to integrate into the night, the figure was tall and slender. Even if it was only a view of the back, Lan You Nian discerned that this person was not to be trifled with. For the first time in many years, Lan You Nian felt that a persons presence could be so strong, making one feel the willingness to submit in their hearts.
If it were any other time, Lan You Nian would definitely not provoke this kind of dangerous person. Although she was very powerful, she cherished her life even more. But right now, she must obtain this bloom of fragrant lotus. Lan You Nian steadied her emotions. No matter who they were, no one could stop her from living.
An Yi and An Er were dressed in ck body suits. They discovered Lan You Nian and others the moment they arrived. But the master did not give them orders, so they did not move. An Yi sized up the neers. There were three people C two women and one man. The girl dressed in white wearing a veil should be the master, only the eyes and brows could be seen. The girl with delicate eyebrows stood there quietly, the wind blew up her skirt, seemingly so beautiful. That pair of beautiful dark eyes were like the cold endless vortex, giving birth to fear to those who look.
An Yi didnt know why, but for some reason, he felt that he knew this girl, but after thinking it over carefully, he didnt seem to have encountered such a girl. After all, such a girl would definitely not be forgotten if encountered.
Standing next to the girl was a male and female dressed in ck. Feeling the aura of ones same kind let An Yi and An Er know for sure that these two people must also be shadow guards. They came here because master had just returned from the border. Passing here, learned of the opening of the fragrant lotus, so came to pick. But it was obvious that the people on the opposite side were also here for the fragrant lotus. It seemed that a fight was inevitable tonight. The two shadow guards martial arts seemed to be pretty good, it just so happens to give them some practice.
The flower-bud of the fragrant lotus stirred, piece by piece the petals slowly bloomed, like a fair young maiden gazing into the distance. Under the backdrop of the green leaves, it was extraordinarily alluring. With a soft breeze, a burst of fragrance spread in the middle of the mountain.
An Yi and An Er moved. Lan Ren and Lan Feng also moved. The pour people shed by, instantly confronting each other. The sound of swords rang on the empty mountain peak.
Lan You Nian did not move because she knew the most dangerous person was that man, the man who had never looked back once. This kind of perception towards danger was something their sort of people were born with.

The collision between des, the entwining fight between ck and ck, the four people were hard to divide. But if you looked carefully, you could see that Lan Feng was already showing signs of falling behind.
An Yi and An Er imperceptibly filled with some excitement. Although they were not top masters, certainly could notpare to master, but was amongst the best in the pugilistic world. But now, just two subordinates are able to fight with them for so long and not fall behind, they grew more interested in that little girl.
Lan Feng and An Er continued to fight, Lan Fengs swordsmanship was absolutely ruthless, the entire person exuded a strong killing intent. This was young misss life-saving medicine, even if she died, she must steal it over.
An Er made a minor move, Lan Feng twisted sideways but did not expect the long sword to follow, pointed directly at her heart. In the darkness, the longsword reflected the moonlight, but Lan Feng did not have a trace of fear, instead went forward to greet it. She was prepared to lose three thousand but still hurt the enemy one hundred.
The entire time, Lan You Nian paid attention to Lan Ren and Lan Feng. Seeing Lan Fengs move, her eyes shed. With speed like lightning came to the front of An Er, raised her hand and waved the white silk to sweep towards An Er, instantly starting a fight with An Er. After a few breaths, An Er was beaten.
An Yi saw An Er was defeated by the girls white silk, instantly did not dare to think lightly of the enemy, the movement in his hands became much faster when fighting with Lan Ren.
Lan Feng thought that even if she didnt die this time, she would at least lose ayer of skin, but didnt expect that young miss would save her. Putting aside her own touched emotions, Lan Feng immediately went to Lan Rens side to deal with An Yi.
Lan You did not go take care of An Yi, but instead used qinggong toe to the side of the fragrant lotus, took out an ice box that she carried with her, and picked up the fragrant lotus to put inside the box. After putting away the box, Lan You Nian said coldly Withdraw!
Years of chemistry made Lan Ren and Lan Feng never doubt the words of their young miss. When Lan You Nian said to withdraw, Lan Ren and Lan Feng did not hesitate to retreat.
An Yi and An Er instantly understood this wasnt good. The two immediately blocked Lan You Nians path. The longsword attacked, the speed was to the extreme. Lan You Nian praised in her mind, these two were very good, the reaction was fast. The man who was injured by her could still react, it was very rare.
Lan You Nian did not continue to tangle with An Yi and An Er. The white silk danced. Lan You Nian went towards the mountain peaks. At this moment, the man who has never moved stirred. The speed was so fast it was unclear, leaving behind a residual image and came in front of Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian had been paying attention to this man the entire time, so when this man attacked, Lan You Nian shed quickly, but a lock of ck hair was still cut off by the mans persistence. Such speed, such ruthlessness! If Lan You Nian did not sh fast enough, the thing that would be cut off would her own little head.
Lan You Nians eyes shed with excitement. This was the excitement towards the strong. If she didnt cherish her own little life, Lan You Nian would definitely rush forward to fight to her hearts content.
Lan You Nian mobilized all her energy to resist the mans attack, but unfortunately, this man was really too strong, the poison within Lan You Nians body could not be suppressed. Defeat was inevitable.
An Yi and An Er looked at the little girl who was fighting their master with admiration. Such a young age and even being a girl actually could pass so many rounds in masters hands, such a person could be said to be rare to see. If she were not the enemy, bing a subordinate would definitely be good.
The man seemed to have lost patience, condensing the internal force in the palm, was bound towards striking Lan You Nians chest. If this palm hit Lan You Nian, Lan You Nian will lose half a life.
Lan You Nian didnt panic, not only did she not avoid it, but greeted the man, avoiding the vitals of the body. Even if this palm hit the body, it was only a slight injury.
This time, Feng Yi Xuan looked up at this little girl who was as ruthless towards herself as she was towards her own enemies. But it was just this one look, Feng Yi Xuans eyes dted. He waspletely shocked.
Even under the nights darkness, Feng Yi Xuan recognized the girl at first sight. This was the girl he had been searching for, for three years. She was unique in this world, not only because of the aura that exudes out of her body, like a flower spirit but also like the goddess of the moon. Even more because of the purest eyes of the world, pure and clear with barrenness and grief.
Feng Yi Xuan immediately took back his palm, even though his sudden retrieval will cause a serious counterattack. Feng Yi Xuans chest shook a little, he swallowed the blood rising up in his throat. He didnt want this girl to get hurt, really didnt want.

Lan You Nian was already prepared to be injured but didnt think that the man in front of her suddenly took back his palm. Lan You Nian was well aware of the danger in abruptly withdrawing the attack. She didnt understand why this man would do this.
A pair of pure ck eyes observed the man on the opposite end. Instead of calling him a man, but rather, he was a male in his twenties. The posture was as straight as bamboo, like a beautiful and precious jade, vigorous and handsome. Facing each other, the eyes seemed to sh with a tint of purple under the moonlight. The eyes were attractive and deep; they were currently gazing at her deeply.
Lan You Nian felt that she did not know this dangerous and powerful male. Therefore, this males actions were worthy of deep contemtion. However right now all Lan You Nian was thinking about was that she needed to leave immediately. Such a male was too dangerous. For some reason, she had the feeling of being scrutinized.
White silk swept towards the ck-robed man. Lan You Nian, Lan Ren, and Lan Feng quickly flew down the mountain.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nians maneuver, how could he not know what Lan You Nian was thinking. But he searched for this little girl for three years. After three years of searching, the heavens finally let him meet her again. Now that they have reunited, how could he let go of her?
Avoiding the attack of white silk, Feng Yi Xuans reached out and tried to grab the little girl who was running away again. However, not only was Feng Yi Xuan injured, but his moves were very careful as if afraid of hurting that little girl.
The result was that Feng Yi Xuan did not catch Lan You Nian, only snatching Lan You Nians personal handkerchief in the interaction, while that girl who disturbed the sea of his heart disappeared once again in front of his eyes.
An Yi and An Er gaped with wide eyes at their master. Is the sky going toe down with red rain? Their brilliant and mighty, reserved master, what has happened to him?
Master, your injury... An Yi as he supported An Er asked with concern.
Its nothing! Feng Yi Xuan clenched the white handkerchief in his hand. Under the illumination of the night, one could see the strange red but beautiful flower embroidered on the handkerchief. Feng Yi Xuan sniffed the handkerchief. On it was a fresh and sweet scent, like the vor of the girl from three years ago.
Ma-ma- ma-master, what, whats wrong? An Er seeing the masters impetuous action, was so shocked that the speech became clumsy.
An Yi was also shocked by their master that his head felt faint. Why has master be strange again? Ugh, why do I say again?... An Yis mind suddenly shed with the episode of three years ago, and the painting, and the girl he met today. No wonder there was a sense of familiarity. Isnt this the girl master has been searching for these recent years? You couldnt me An Yi for having a bad memory. After all, its been three years and Lan You Nian has be even more beautiful, the aura was like a celestial fairy; it was really hard to recognize.
Master, that youngdy is the one master has been looking for, for many years. Do you need this subordinate to find immediately? An Yi locked up the thoughts in his heart and asked the abnormal master.
An Er raised his hand and stroked his chin. So, the girl from moments before was actually the person master has been looking for, for so many years ah! As expected, the person master was looking for is worthy indeed, powerful enough, mysterious enough!
Three years ago, all of masters forces, whether it was in in sight or in the shadows, all received an order to find a girl. Furthermore, they couldnt rm or harm. Once found, they must immediately report. In the past three years, master has never given up. An Er knew that this girl saved masters life, but the master with such concern over a girl still amazed all the subordinates. It wasnt that these three years they found nothing. They have discovered traces of the girl before, but every time they went looking, the girl has already left. But now they finally encounter this girl in such an unusual way.
En, find! Feng Yi Xuan put the handkerchief gingerly in his chest. An Yi and An Er immediately bowed their heads. Honestly, the way the master is now they couldnt bear to look at. Master, where has your mysophobia gone?
Chapter 20
20 Suppressing Toxicity
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
On Wu Qing Inns third floor, Lan You Nian took out the fragrant lotus. Eyeing that crystal-clear lotus flower, her heart sighed. Her poison can be suppressed for a while. At least for now, she wont die.
Young miss, with this fragrant lotus, will the poison in young misss body be cured? As Lan Wu looked at the beautiful fragrant lotus, she thought of young misss poison and asked anxiously.
This can only suppress the toxicity temporarily, thats all. Lan You Nian studied the fragrant lotus that was giving off a faint fragrance in her hand.
When the four heard Lan You Nians words, they all felt a little anxious and sorrowful in their hearts. They have seen young miss suffer the toxicity of the poison every month. It was because they have seen it that they were so anxious. How could the young miss endure this kind of pain for so many years? Young miss gave them life, gave them a home, but right now they didnt even have the ability to find the antidote to young misss poison.
This is not your concern. Dont worry, since the heavens allowed me to live, I will not die so easily. Lan You Nian noticed their somber expression. How could she not be aware of their worry? These people not only were their capability outstanding but more importantly, they had a loyal heart. Thus, she also put these four under the ranks of her own people. Having been in this world for five years, the number of people she hase to care for seemed to be growing more and more. Who knew whether it was a blessing or a curse?
Alright, I need to absorb this fragrant lotus right now. You guys guard the door, no one is allowed to enter Lan You Nian said solemnly. It goes without saying that absorbing the fragrant lotus was a very dangerous business, but her own poison couldnt wait until she returned to the Medical Valley.
Yes! The four responded and immediately left the room to keep guard. They knew the danger of young miss absorbing the fragrant lotus, but they as subordinates couldnt even help young miss. This made the four people feel guilty. The young miss they wholeheartedly wanted to protect was always so hardworking, suffering from a pain that ordinary people cant stand, and all they could do was watch......
Lan You Nian plucked off the fragrant lotuss petals one by one,nguidly putting it into a small delicate mouth. The sweetness flooded Lan You Nians entire mouth. As the petals entered the body, Lan You Nian could feel a pain drifting through her meridians. As the essence of the fragrant lotus intertwined within Lan You Nians body, the pain followed it.
As the two essences fought and suppressed each other, Lan You Nian was drenched with sweat, circting her energy to diffuse the medical properties of the fragrant lotus. As Lan You Nian absorbed the medical properties of the fragrant lotus, Lan You Nian could feel that her bodys poison was being slowly suppressed. That poison that was about to suffocate her suppressed was within the body. After the medical purification of the fragrant lotus, La You Nians skin exuded ayer of ck impurities. That was the contaminated stuff from within the body.
Hu Lan You Nian exhaled, raised her brow as she eyed the pitch-ck body that was giving off an unpleasant smell. After inspecting her own bodys meridians, although the poison was still there, every month will likewise suffer from pain, but at least she will not lose her life in the near future. That was enough. It gave her enough time to cure the poison in her body.
Come in! Lan You Nian called out softly. Just as the voice faded away, the four poured into the room.
Young miss, how do you feel? Lan Qu saw the pitch-ck young miss, wanted to touch young miss but was afraid it would disturb young miss.
En, very good, the toxicity is suppressed for the time being. Lan You Nian said in a cating tone, letting the four people all release their breath.
Young miss, do you wish to bathe? Lan Qu looked at young misss appearance presently, asked attentively. Young miss very much liked to be clean, it was very rare for her to look like she is now.
En, ok! Lan You Nian said while covering her nose. The greasy feeling on her body made Lan You Nian very ufortable. If it were not to give the four people some peace of mind, she would have already gone to bathe.
An oversized tub was filled with lukewarm water. Floating on the water was a scattering of delicate flower petals that emitted a burst of fragrance in the slow soak of warm water. Lan Wu and Lan Qu stood behind young miss and with a light and steady hand helped Lan You Nian take off her dirty dress. Lan You Nian waspletely immersed in soaking in the warm water.
Lan Qu with a white washcloth in hand, gently wiped young misss body. After washing away the impurities covering the skin, Lan You Nians skin became even whiter. Before, Lan You Nians skin was already so beautiful it made people envious, but now, Lan You Nians skin was like a de-shelled egg, supple and silky as if with one touch it will be bruised. The white skin was almost transparent like clear water without any ws.
Lan Wu obsessively leered at young misss naked skin that was exposed out of the water, the corner of the mouth seemed to be drooling saliva. Even Lan Qu had a smitten expression as she watched Lan You Nians water-like skin.
En? a soft and light voice carrying hints of sweetness hummed, immediately dragged Lan Wu and Lan Qus soul back into their bodies. Lan Wu still looked at her own familys young miss with wide eyes, clenched her ws, as if feeling an impulse to cop a feel. Lan Qu, on the other hand, was much better inparison. After recovering her state of mind, she wiped her familys young misss body very seriously.
Young miss, I am sure, no one in this world has young misss skin like cream, lustrously white like snow, smooth like jade. Lan Wu wiped off her own drool and snatched the white washcloth from Lan Qus hand with a perverted expression.
Lan You Nian turned around, took over the white washcloth, and looked at her own skin. Indeed, her skin was snowy white, shining with the luster of white porcin under themplight. Although her skin before was very good, it was not so good to such an exaggerated point. Now even she couldnt help but admire herself, this fragrant lotus was a really good thing indeed.
Alright, put away your perverted expression, Lan You Nian channeled her energy to send a hand towel over Lan Wus eyes, then quickly got up. Lan Qu took a clean white towel to help Lan You Nian dry the beads of water on her body.
Young miss, dont me Wu for being like this, its just that young miss really captivates people. Lan Qu snickered at Lan Wus dispirited look.
Oh? Dont tell me, Wu and Qu fancy your familys young miss? Lan You Nian finished dressing, one only saw her ink ck hair grow down to her legs, the face was crystal clear as the moon, unspeakably delicate and white, the eyes as ck as night unspeakably deep and beautiful, the body although young was beautiful in its youth, the posture outstanding.
Young miss! Lan Wu and Lan Qu blushing red eximed. Even if Lan Wu was in charge of Wu Qing Brothel she still blushed from her own young misss teasing, and Lan Qu for a long while didnt dare to look at her own familys young miss.
Hehehehe... Lan You Nian saw the twos blushing faces,ughed out loud. Sure enough, the people of ancient times were really innocent!

Young miss When Lan Ren came into the room, he stood in front of Lan You Nian, seemed to have something to report.
Lan You Nian, clothed in a white dress,zily reclined on the luxurious white lounge chair padded with white furs. Lan Qu and Lan Wu sat on either side of Lan You Nian peeling fruit, waiting on her attentively.
Sit. Dont make me say it again. You guys are not only my subordinates but are also my friends Lan You Nian, seeing the straight-faced Lan Ren, couldnt help but face-palm. She did not have these ancient peoples sense of esteem towards the distinction of rank. Although she demanded loyalty, she did not trample on the self-respect of others. While her subordinates were much more outgoing than other peoples subordinates, there was still a sense of esteem towards the distinction of rank left deeply-rooted in their hearts.
Lan Ren sighed in his heart. Their young miss was too easy-going and amiable. As subordinates, not only were they emotionally moved, they became even more determined to apply themselves for the young misss use, so they would not disappoint young misss faith in them.
Lan Wu and Lan Qu shared a smile. They still remembered, before, when they just started to follow young miss. Although young miss was very young, the young miss, firstly, was their savior, secondly, young miss had an unattainable quality to her. Every time they served, they were very careful. But after years of getting to know each other, they started to be more like the real them in front of young miss. They could act spoiled, eat and drink together, sing and dance. Young miss considered them as equals; it affected them deeply. Meeting young miss made them the happiest people in the world.
Lan You Nian looked at Lan Ren who seemed to be deeply moved andughed inside. This Lan Ren dont just look at the outside where he seemed like a blockhead, but in fact, his heart was very rich with emotions.
Is something the matter? Lan You Nian took a bite of the fresh grapes, then pushed the dish in front of Lan Ren.
Many years of habit made Lan Ren ready to start eating. This grape was shipped from a very distant ce. Normal people couldnt eat it at all and Lan Ren really loved grapes. But the moment Lan Ren was ready to peel the grape, he froze. He was here to make a report okay? When did it turn into eating? Young miss, is it really okay for you to act like this?
Young miss, there is a very powerful force that is looking for young miss. Lan Ren put down the grape, restrained his emotions, and said seriously.
When they returned to Wu Qing Inn, they discovered there was a power that was looking for young miss and this force was unusually powerful. Luckily, young misss disguise was very good, so they werent able to find young miss.
Find out what power it was? Lan You Nian took out a handkerchief embroidered with red spider lily and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.
No, Lan Feng went to lure this force away, but this force cannot be underestimated, Lan Ren replied. The seriousness of the matter transformed him into a wood-block, not even his favorite grapes could be pleasing to the eye.
Does it have anything to do with the people we met on the mountain? Lan You Nian inquired. Lan You Nian had a strange feeling. For some reason, she felt that this powerful force belonged to that dangerous man. Perhaps this was just a hunch, but her intuition was more often than not right.
Indeed, the moment we came down the mountain, there was a power tracking us down, Lan Ren said worriedly. And could even in such a short time track us to Sunset City, young miss....
No worries, they cant find me. From now on, it seems I have to be more careful Lan You Nian closed her eyes. She felt a little strange herself. She didnt recognize that man (You cant me Lan You Nian, towards people she didnt have in her heart, especially men, she didnt attempt to remember at all okay?), but at the moment he struck her, why did he willingly endure injury and still take back the blow of his palm? Also, that man looked at her very strangely. She couldnt deduce the feeling, but it was not killing intent.
I want quiet, you guys can go! Lan You Nian didnt even open her eyes and said to the several people in the room. After the several people left, the whole room became quiet, but Lan You Nians mind was still not quiet enough. The eyes of that man would always appear in her mind. Such a strange feeling.
Lan You Nian extended a white, nearly transparent little hand and pinched her forehead. Since she couldnt figure it out, lets just not think about it. If some things were really rted to her, she will always encounter it. It was an unwise move tobor and toil with mind and body right now.
Master. An Yi felt like crying when he saw Feng Yi Xuans icy expression. It wasnt that they werent powerful enough, or that they didnt make a lot of effort; it was simply that that youngdy was too mysterious.
Swallowing the saliva in his throat, An Yi clenched his teeth, Master, we have not been able to find that girl!
An Yi, An Er, An San, An Si knelt on the ground, enduring the pressure exerted by their master. Sweat was already forming on the forehead, they couldnt help butment for their own misery. When have they be so weak that they couldnt find a little girl? They couldnt find three years ago, fine, but now they finally met, they still couldnt find, it was a huge blow to them.
This matter will be given to An San to take care of. If still cannot find.... Feng Yi Xuans voice radiated fury. Even if the master does not say, they all knew the consequences would not be pretty.
An San was the only female amongst the four. The moment she heard the masters orders, she red at the other three people. How could she be so miserable? If she still couldnt find that girl she had never even met, Master will definitely kill her. Why not let An Yi and the others go!?
Yes! An San lowered her head and replied, but in her heart, she bemoaned, God wants to obliterate me ah!
An Yi, An Er, An Si gave An San a sympathetic nce and wiped their sweat. Luckily it wasnt them. Master really is too terrifying now. That little girl, pleasee save them!

Many soldiers wearing ck armor proceeded on the road. The ranks of troops marched in an ochre yellow dragon-like formation, twisting and turning on the clean white wilderness. A million peoples footsteps, from near and far, became like the rustling sound of countless creeks.
At the armys very front, several armymanders sat on ck steeds.
Feng Yi Xuan had on apletely ck brocade robe that outlined the lean and muscr body. Those pair of eyes were like a thousand-year-old well, deep and silent. Apart from in front of his own people, he returned to masking the color of his eyes, not that he was afraid of other peoples perception or rumors, but simply didnt wish to give anybody something to make a fuss about. Those pair of eyes seemed to be able to suck in peoples soul. A straight nose like a hook, thin lips like cinnabar, white jade-like skin seemed to solidify with ayer of frost, the entire person was like that icebergs snow lotus, noble yet cold, as if concentrating all the evil spirit between heaven and earth into one form. Everything in the world lost all of their color in front of him.
An Yi was dressed in a ck bodysuit, a resolute face exposed a touch of coldness. He discreetly nced at Feng Yi Xuan, heart despairing. Ever since that night they werent able to find that girl, the air surrounding the master has be even more terrifying, making him feel that he was a pitiful subordinate.
Lan Jian Jun had on a full set of stiff armor. The years did not leave any traces of harshness on his face, but the white hair by his temples revealed that his life was not very good.
Lan Mo Xian was dressed in white armor. The ink ck long hair draped in tousled fashion, giving off a certainzy charm. The gentle face like jade had on a signature smile, which always gave people a warm feeling, as if it could dispel this chilly military atmosphere, like the sunlight moisturizing every thirsty and cold soul.
Father, its been five years, we can finally return. Dont know if Nianer meimei has grown taller or not Lan Mo Xian looked in the direction of the capital city, missing his little sister in his heart.
This father has already informed the housekeeper to bring Nianer back, from now on this father will treat Nianer well At this moment, in his heart, Lan Jian Jun was also missing the daughter who has been neglected. He thought that from now on, he will hold this daughter in the palm of his hand, never letting this daughter show that kind of envious expression ever again.
Mo Xian sighed, even after so many years, he still had no way to talk with father about his Nianer meimei. He still remembered when mother was pregnant with Nianer meimei, in the afternoon after the ze of the sun, she would always tell him Mo Xian, in the future, you must protect your younger sister well. Now, despite that mother has passed away for so many years, mothers words still rang in his ears. Now that he had his own ability, he could protect Nianer meimei from now on. Mother, this son will definitely protect Nianer meimei very well.
Lan Jian Jun, looking at the son who did not say a word, couldnt help feeling a sense of helplessness. He knew that he did wrong, he just didnt know if Nianer will forgive him. That daughter who would always secretly peek at him from a corner with an expression of longing for a fathers love, did she still have the same desire for this bit of fatherly love?
Feng Yi Xuan and An Yi heard the discussion between Lan family father and son. These few years in the army life, although Feng Yi Xuan was a wangye, the rtionship between these people were pretty good. Especially as Lan Mo Xian is now doing things under Feng Yi Xuan, with An Yi and others, were like brothers. Every time in the lonely night at the border, these guys and several other soldiers would always cradle a jug of alcohol and drink. When Lan Mo Xian was drunk, he would always repeatedly talk about his Nianer meimei, talk about that cute but pitiable little girl.
Maybe because its been said so many times, although everyone didnt say anything, but towards Lan Mo Xians younger sister, they all felt a little bit of pity. After all, such an innocent little girl was scorned for such a foolish reason, was very pitiable.
Lan Mo Xian, this time returning, you can see your little sister, protect your little sister, and finally fulfill your long-cherished wishes of these many years. An Yi slowly moved away from his master to Lan Mo Xians side.
Yeah, I can finally see Nianer meimei. If Mother knew, she will definitely be assured in the afterlife Lan Mo Xian fisted his hand and punched An Yis shoulder, the affection between brothers was self-evident.
When Lan Jian Jun heard his sons words, he couldnt help feeling guilty. So many years, Xiao Ran has not been assured at all, was she ming him for pushing away their most precious daughter?
Oh right, what is wrong with wangye? Lan Mo Xian asked lowering his voice. Although normally wangye had very few words, had a cold aura, but it wasnt as frightening as it was now.
This.... An Yi patted Lan Mo Xians back You better not ask, otherwise if master gives you the mission, Im afraid youll be punished. An Yi said it like this was all for Lan Mo Xians own good. However, because of this, they missed a chance of finding that girl they have been looking every for.
Lan Mo Xian nodded. Although he was also wangyes subordinate, he only dealt with army matters, other things he did not interfere with. So, he understood An Yis good intentions. After all, being the mysterious and formidable Ming Wang, he must have many things that could not be known to the world; those things he did not even want to know.
An Yi. Feng Yi Xuans ice-cold voice sounded. An Yi quivered, urging his horse to masters side, and was drenched in cold sweat as he peered at his own master.
Found yet? The icy voice carrying traces of expectation rang in An Yis ears.
Reporting to master, this subordinate is ipetent, havent found that youngdy An Yi was ashamed, lowered his head, and replied.
Ipetent indeed! After returning to the capital, you four go ept punishment! Feng Yi Xuan was very dissatisfied with An Yis answer. Although these were all subordinates who have been with him since he was young, he was still impartial in the dispensation of rewards and punishments.
Yes! An Yi did not have any grievances. This matter was, in fact, their fault for not doing a good job; epting punishment was a must.
Master, do we still continue to search? An Yi was sure they must keep looking but still asked cautiously.
En, continue to search Feng Yi Xuan gazed at the road before him Add more manpower!
Yes!
A wooden bridge arched over the pond, bing the only ess to the backyard. Under the sun, the water surface of the pond reflected the golden light. The purple water lilies were blooming in the water. Under the reflection of the green trees, it became more delicate and softer, refreshing and unique. If listening with closed eyes, there was the sound of running water slowly flowing into the ear.
A woman in a rose-red long dress C embroidered with a light blue peony on the cuffs, silver silk threads drew out patches of lucky clouds C stood on the bridge. Behind her stood a forty-year-old man wearing a servants uniform.
Madame, master is on his way back, Eunuch Yuan delivered an imperial edict saying to celebrate with a feast for Ming wang, master, and the eldest young master. The invitation has third young misss name the housekeeper stood behind An yiniang, carefully reported.
What third young miss, Lan manor does not have a third young miss! Just a poor wretch that no one wants An yiniang smiled chillingly Since it is the Emperors decree, then send people to bring that girl back!
The housekeeper didnt understand. The third young miss was already dead, how to bring back? And they couldnt even find someone to pretend, because third young miss had a beautiful lotus flower birthmark behind her ear, absolutely no one can rece.
Haha, on the way back, third young miss encountered robbers, the third young miss was inadvertently killed, housekeeper, say, does this ident count as an ident? An yiniangughed, a sinister smile bloomed on the delicately made-up face
Yes, this old servant understands The housekeeper replied. He has been An yiniangs servant for a while now, this womans methods were so vicious, even he a big man felt scared.
An yiniang looked at the little fish in the pond, thinking about that man she loved was nowing back. Hehe, that woman was already dead, and now her daughter has long since died. Lan Jian Jun, you will only have me at your side.

embroidered bed
Through the pure white drapery, one could see a pure white, carved embroidered bed. On the opposite side of the bed was a dressing table decorated with a colorful mosaic of enamel shells; it was beautiful beyondpare, very eye-catching. On either side of the dressing table were two embroidered silk cloth hanging on the wall, both were embroidered with red spider lilies, tender and moving, against the white background. The left side of the room was separated by a screen, but a zither and lute were still visible.
Lan You Nian in a white muslin dress sat next to the zither, currently cleansing her hands and burning incense, preparing to y a piece of music.
Young miss Lan Feng stood outside the screen with a cold face. Usually when young miss was quietly ying, if they had nothing important, they would not disturb, instead, they would simply listen to the beautiful music quietly.
Come in and sit the sound of a crisp and soft voice came from within the screen. All four of them walked in and sat in the corner.
Whats happened? Lan You Nian set aside her desire to y some music and regarded the several people. Lan Wu couldnt hide her thoughts, her eyes seemed to be on fire. Although Lan Feng and others didnt look any different from usual, Lan You could still discern their gloomy mood.
Young miss, a message came from the capital city saying General Lan won the war, is now currently on the way back to the capital and would arrive in the capital within the next few days. Lan Qus temper was usually the steadiest, but at this time, speaking of their young misss irresponsible father, couldnt help feeling unfair for young miss.
Oh? Lan You Nians slim jade hand plucked the strings of the zither.
(Dong) The sound of the zither carrying killing intent suddenly sounded. Speaking of which, it seems that she has yet to see this so-called father, although she knew the appearance from the memory of her predecessor.
The Emperor is holding a celebration feast for Ming wang and General Lan and others. The invitation included Lan manors third youngdy who has been outside for many years, that is, young miss yourself. Lan Qu frowned as she reported the news from the capital.
Isnt Lan manors third young miss already dead? Dont know how An yiniang ns to bring a dead person back? Lan You Nian scoffed.
Young miss! Four people eximed in displeasure. They didnt like young miss saying the word dead. Young miss was so amazing and unique, only those people didnt have eyes. If it were not for young miss ordering them not to touch them, they would have long since used the power in the capital to kill those people.
Alright, alright, will your familys young miss die so easily?
Young miss, youre not allowed to say die Lan Wu cried with red eyes. Young miss didnt know how worried they were every time they saw young miss in pain from the poison awakening. Every time. seeing young miss crawling back from the borderline of life and death time and time again, how heart-breaking it was. They were truly afraid that something will happen to young miss.
Alright, I wont say it, honestly! Lan You Nian looked at their agitated expressions, her heart became warmer. In the beginning, she saved these guys because of self-interest, but after three years of interactions, each others friendship, in many things, they regarded her as their master, but only at times like this would they reveal the attitude of big brothers and big sisters.
What does young miss n to do? Lan Ren asked, no matter what young miss decides to do, they would execute it immediately.
Its been a long time, its time to go back. Lan You Nian stroked the strings of the zither, What is owed to me, time to take it back She was empathetic to the enmity of her predecessor, so she intended to go back. This merely gave her a very good opportunity.
Hmph! Those who bullied young miss, I want to peel off their skin one by one! When Lan Wu heard that young miss was going back to the capital, that look of burning with eagerness was very excitable.
Although the other three did not say it, it was obvious they had the same kind of n. Lan You Nian had not concealed her past from them, so these people knew Lan You Nian suffered much oppression in Lan manor and the inhuman torture and hurt.
How is grandfather? Lan You Nian thought of that elegant old man. Ever since Lan You Nian left the valley, she sent people to protect Tutor He, and even had someone cure Tutor Hes body. An yiniang was merciless indeed, being afraid that Tutor He would look for her, she actually bribed Tutor Hes servant to poison Tutor He. If it wasnt for Lan You Nian, perhaps that old man who truly loved his granddaughter would have already passed away.
Tutor He is in good health but has never given up looking for young miss all these years As Lan Feng spoke of that Tutor He, her eyes held a bit of warmth. That old man truly cares about young miss. Ever since his body got better, he has been searching for his granddaughter nonstop. He can be described as a rarely seen good grandfather.
Time to go back to see grandfather Lan You Nian whispered. Of this old man, Lan You Nian actually has secretly seen once, but never mutually recognized. Towards the loved ones of her past life, Lan You Nian waspletely disappointed. In this life, seeing Lan You Nians father, she only felt chilled in her heart. So, Lan You Nian didnt know how to interact and treat this elder.
Third young master is now in the capital city. If he knew young miss is going to the capital city, he will definitely be happy Lan Qu said randomly to break the atmosphere in the room, especially didnt want to see young misss unhappy expression.
Ha, Im afraid third brother is probably amongst a group of beauties now, how would he still remember this little junior sister? Speaking of those brothers, Lan You Nians face became much gentler. Third brother Gui San was very fond of beauties, can be described as passed through a million flower clusters yet not a leaf stained his clothes.
Young miss, you dont know, every time third young master knows that you are going to the capital city, that look of happiness is such a rare sight. What beauties, they are all thrown into the back of the mind, Lan Wuughed. Moreover, what kind of beauty can be more beautiful than young miss yourself? Now, although young miss is still young, you are already beautiful to this degree, Im really worried for those young masters hearts in the capital.
Oh? Lan You Nian smiled but knew Lan Wu did not speak falsely. Those brothers really treated her so well there was nothing toin about, perhaps even better than a biological sister. Then dont tell third brother for now, lets give him a surprise.
Yes, young miss! The several people affirmed.

In front of the prosperous the capital city gate stood manymon people who came to wee the soldiers return. The crowdpletely filled the streets ten miles long, like a long dragon, the front of the procession couldnt see the head, the back of the procession couldnt see the tail. There were so many people on the streets that they became very crowded. Everyone raised their sleeves like five-colored clouds.
Theyreing, theyreing... the crowd stirred. Everyone fell over each other to see the soldiers entering the city. Because it was entering the city, it was only a single unit that entered the city. The other troops were stationed at the training camp. However, even a single unit inspired awe in these civilians.
At the forefront were three big horses, belonging to Ming wangC Feng Yi Xuan, General Lan C Lan Jian Jun C , and General Che Qi C Lan Mo Xian. Further behind were the various soldiers and military divisions.
Feng Yi Xuan wore a ck fang mask that hid his entire face, but the aura surrounding him was unmatchable by any person. It caused all of the noisiness of the spectacle to suddenly quiet down a lot, and there were even many civilians who just didnt dare look directly at Ming wang who wasparable to an Asura.
Hey, rumors say Ming wangs eyes are like a demons, is it true or not? onemoner looked at the mask on Feng Yi Xuans face, asked curiously.
Of course, its true, I have a rtive in the pce working as a guard whos seen Ming wang as a child. I heard that Ming wangs eyes were terrifying to death, but ever since the age of five, the color of Ming Wangs eyes returned to normal Anothermoner whispered.
I heard that Ming wang isnt interested in women. There isnt even a tongfang servant girl in the manor.
Who would dare to marry Ming wang ah? Who in the capital city doesnt know Ming wangs ruthlessness and that there is never a woman at his side?
Due to An Yis martial arts, he already heard the thosemoners conversation, his face became ugly, though his face didnt look before. He swept those gossipingmoners a nce, and immediately, made all the discussion between the civilians disperse.
Lan Jian Jun seemed to be somewhat absentminded. Even the love and esteem of the surrounding civilians didnt enter his heart. If it were not for the imperial edict ordering him to immediately enter the pce, he really wanted to rush into the manor to see his daughter.
Lan Mo Xian was clothed in white like an elegant gentleman, capturing the hearts of many young girls instantly. All around Lan Mo Xian were females throwing flowers at him and the women who winked at him made Lan Mo Xian have the urge to flee.
After all, Lan Mo Xian was good-looking, moreover, he was refined and cultured. Whenpared with the ruthless Ming wang, the more Lan Mo Xian became a very good husband candidate. While Feng Yi Xuan had high status, his martial arts were extraordinary, and even was famous throughout the world for winning battles in session, but no woman dared to approach.
Amber wine, jasper wine cups, golden wine jugs, jade tes, food so picturesque, wine as like spring, zither overflowing, bells ringing. Therge hall was decorated with bell-like flowers, the flowers were white, and the bone-like porcin glowed with a translucent luster. The top of the petals had a halo of different shades of faint violet, seemingly heavenly dyed. This was where the pce banquet would take ce today.
The banquet hall was already filled with arge number of officials of all levels and young masters of noble families. Females smiled reservedly, and from time to time, two or three would form groups to talk about something, while the men subtly ttered each other. Therge hall could be described as a harmonious and beautiful picture.
Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian epted the congrattions and fawning of many officials in the banquet hall, but obviously, both of them were absent-minded. From time to time, they would nce at the entrance of the hall, thinking about why Lan familys family members havent arrived yet.
An elderly man walked into the hall under the guidance of a eunuch. This was a kindly elder, his hair wasbed very seriously, without a single hair out of ce. But each strand of silver-white hair was clearly visible amidst the ck hair. In the slightly sagging eye sockets, a pair of deep brown eyes quietly told of the vicissitudes of the passing years.
Tutor He
Tutor He
The people in the hall seeing him arrive, all respectfully greeted him. Dont look at Tutor He who seemingly doesnt have any power, but he was not only the Emperors teacher, but he was also the teacher to the emperors father. His character was incorruptible and straightforward. There were many disciples under him and he was very highly regarded by the Emperor.
Lan Jian Jun seeing Tutor He, hurried over, respectfully bowed Father inw!, while Lan Mo Xian also respectfully called out Grandfather
Tutor He upon seeing Lan Jian Jun, thought of the daughter who passed away in years earlier, and that pitiful granddaughter of his who has disappeared, dont know if she was dead or alive. The elegant elder suddenly became enraged.
General Lan, this old man cant afford your call of father inw. When Xiao Ran died, this old man never med you, but now Nianer has been missing for so many years, dont know if shes dead or alive, you-the father-where have you been!? Tutor Hes voice caused the whole hall to quiet down.
Lan Jian Juns body slightly swayed and in a trembling voice asked, Father inw, what are you saying? How could Nianer be missing for many years?
Lan Mo Xian was also shocked as he looked to his grandfather, hoping this was all false.
Do you think this old man will lie to you? Nianer has been missing five years ago and you are pretending to not know! Tutor He cried with red eyes. His poor granddaughter, he didnt know if she was still alive.
Lan Jian Juns whole body was like it was paralyzed. At this moment, An yiniang who just entered the hall heard Tutor Hes wordspletely panicked and rushed over to Lan Jian Jun.
Master! An yiniang supported Lan Jian Jun and cried out in horror.
Tell me, has Nianer been missing for five years! Tell me! Lan Jian Jun threw off An yiniangs arms, demanded impatiently.
Of course not, how could third young miss be missing for five years? An yiniang exined.
Lan Jian Jun sighed in relief, as long as nothing happened to his daughter, Then where is Nianer? Lan Jian Jun didnt even look at the two daughters and one son and searched amongst the crowd.
Master, after this concubine found out master was returning to the capital, sent people to bring third young miss back An yiniang took out a kerchief to wipe her tears and stuttered out But on the way back, the third miss encountered robbers, the third young miss, unfortunately, received injuries and passed on.
What did you say? Say it again! Lan Mo Xian grabbed An yiniangs clothes, ground out through clenched teeth.
Master, its all this concubines fault, its all this concubines mistake! An yiniang seemed to be very guilty.
General Lan, Nianer has been missing for five years, do you still believe this woman? Tutor He asked grievously.
Although Lan Jian Jun was a rough person, it didnt mean he didnt understand anything. He already believed Tutor Hes words, knew that his daughter has already been missing five years ago, who knows if she was dead or alive. And this definitely cannot escape any rtion with this woman! What has he done!
Lan Jian Jun seemed to have aged a lot, while Lan Mo Xian was even more convinced of grandfathers words, channeled his energy, nning to end An yiniang there and now, even Lan Jian Jun felt killing intent towards An yiniang.
Grandfather A gentle voice came from the direction of the hall entrance. The gentle tones of an elegantdy, regardless of whose ear it fell into, would subconsciously give one a good impression of the girl.
tongfang-so a tongfang servant girl is responsible for having sex with their master without the status of an official concubine
yiniang-concubine
wang-first rank prince

A call of grandfather caused everyone in the hall to look in the direction of the girl who made the sound. Even Feng Yi Xuan who was hidden in the shadows raised his eyes and looked over. Searched for her in the crowd for thousands of times, suddenly looking back, there she was, where the light was scattered.
Everyone in the hall saw a girl in a white muslin dress, the face covered with a white veil, so clean that she seemed to be not spoiled by a speck of dust, quietly sat there with a gentle smile. The crystal-like eyes took in all the worldliness of the world into her eyes, like a white lotus flower, untouched by the mortal world, bringing a touch of coolness to this agitated hall, exuding its own fragrance. Let others have joy, anger, sorrow, but I will be unmoved.
You... Tutor He seemed to feel a lifetime of emotions today. Right now, with eyes wide open, staring at the little girl who was approaching him slowly, he seemed to see his daughter when she was a child.
You... Lan Jian Jun was surprised and bewildered as he looked at the slowly approaching girl, not sure who exactly the girl was, but the connection between blood and blood made him feel close.
You... Lan Mo Xian meticulously studied that girl, recognized that it was the pitiful Nianer meimei who followed behind him when they were children.
You... An yiniang looked like she had seen a ghost, couldnt make a sound with her mouth wide open.
Ma-ma-ma-master, An Yi spluttered as he watched that girl step into the hall, then nced at his own master. Sure enough, his master was looking at that girl with a tender expression.
An Er was so stunned that he couldnt speak. They searched for so many years but didnt expect that the person they were looking for was right under their nose. All these years, Lan Mo Xian did not poison their ears any less. This world is really a mess; it was too overwhelming!
Feng Yi Xuan watched the girl standing in therge hall, that girl he had searched for so long. Excitement, happiness, emotions he never felt before, but now Feng Yi Xuan knew this girl was special to him. Right now there were so many people in the hall, but he could only see that girl, his heart seemed to only be filled with that girl.
What did you call this old man? Tutor He, full of hope, looked at Lan You Nian, lest he was wrong.
Grandfather, I am Nianer! Lan You Nian looked at the elder in front of her. Dont know why but her heart suddenly felt astringently sour. Perhaps this was the feeling of being cared for by ones loved ones.
Tutor Hes hands trembled as he reached out to grasp Lan You Nians little hands. He was so excited that he didnt know what to do would be best. He searched for so many years, worried for so many years, his only granddaughter was finally found, and was still very much alive.
Lan You Nian pushed away her hair, exposing the birthmark behind her ear, which made everyone believe Lan You Nians identity. Tutor He lightly patted Lan You Nians hand, Nianer, even without the birthmark, grandfather still knows that you are grandfathers granddaughter. You really look like your mother!
Nianer meimei Lan Mo Xian, overjoyed, looked at his little sister, the handsome face was full of surprise. After the blow from moments before to the present surprise, Lan Mo Xian can be said to have experienced both overwhelming sorrow and great joy.
Mo Xian gege! Lan You Nian gently and politely curtsied, making Lan Mo Xian stiffen. Was Nianer meimei ming him? ming him for not protecting her?
From the beginning to end, Lan You Nian did not look at Lan Jian Jun. For todays high-profile appearance in the main hall, Lan You Nian was deliberate. Appearing in front everyones eyes in this way, she can restore her identity as soon as possible, and even more, in the future, no one will say that she was impersonating. The alienation of Lan Mo Xian was not intentional as Lan You Nian treated all strangers like this. Because Tutor He has been searching for her for many years, more or less, it has moved Lan You Nian, so she felt particrly close to Tutor He.
Didnt An yiniang say that Nianer meimei was killed by bandits? Dont know if An yiniang can give an exnation? Lan Mo Xian looked at the shocked An yiniang and said aggressively.
Master An yiniang looked at Lan Jian Jun. this concubine doesnt know what is going on, but the third young miss returning safely is a good thing. Third young miss, really, if you are safe, why didnt you send someone to tell yiniang? Instead of letting everyone worry about you for nothing. And as master can see, its not as Tutor He had said, that Nianer has been missing
An yiniang was subtly mocking Lan You Nian was immature, how could Lan You Nian not know?
Ha Without waiting for Lan Jian Jun to say something, Lan You Nianughed. Has An yiniang been living well these five years? Nianer did miss An yiniang very much these five years.
Everyone present was worldly, many married women were even master hands within their household, how could they not understand Lan You Nians meaning. It seemed that this An yiniang had been nning to get rid of Lan manors third young miss five years ago, though, dont know why the third young miss is still alive?
Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian also understood Lan You Nians meaning, knew that these five years Lan You Nian has indeed been missing, they were ashamed that they didnt even know.
Not going argue with An yiniang on these matters, Lan You Nian helped Tutor He to go to his seat, grandfather, can Nianer sit next to grandfather? Lan You Nian asked.
If grandfathers good granddaughter does not sit next to grandfather, where else would you sit? Tutor He was very fond of this lost granddaughter. Seeing Lan You Nians speech and deportment was even more graceful than the royal familys princess, became even fonder.
Lan Jian Jun, seeing his daughters neglect and indifference, felt saddened in his heart, but he knew that this was his own retribution. Later, theyll take it slow, he will definitely be good to his daughter.
An yiniang followed Lan Jian Jun and sat down in their seat. She was so shocked by Lan You Nians appearance that she was sweating all over. Why did a clearly dead person appear here? Is Lan You Nians life so blessed? Once is luck, but it will not happen again in the future. She can remove her once, therefore she can remove her a second time.
Mother An yiniangs eldest daughter Lan Ya Ya tugged An yiniangs sleeves under the table and looked at Lan You Nian with a sinister look.
Ya Ya, in everything you must keep calm. An yiniang pacified. It was not easy to enter the pce today, and your father has merits, you must grasp this (opportunity) well
Lan Ya Ya instantly understood her mothers meaning. She was 16 years old this year, can be betrothed to someone now. Today all the dignitaries are here, she needed to pick a powerful man, this way, Father will not be able to ignore the mother and daughter four anymore.
Chapter 26
26 Assessing Everyone
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Herees the Emperor! An ear-piercing sharp voice sounded and made all the people who were watching the interesting show respectfully bowed their heads.
Paying respect to the Emperor! Everyone knelt down to give respect, Lan You Nian rearranged her body, but she only bent down instead of kneeling. In this world, there is no one deserving of her kneeling down to.
Lan You Nian with her lowered head did not notice, but in this whole hall, there was one other person who didnt kneel and that was Ming wang, Feng Yi Xuan. When Feng Yi Xuans eyes caught onto Lan You Nians movement, his eyes shed with an indulging smile.
Beloved subjects please rise! a majestic voice sounded in the hall.
Lan You Nian straightened her body, followed Tutor He in sitting down. Only then did she use her peripheral vision to assess the whole hall. Sitting at the very top of the main hall, in the center of the dragon throne was Feng nations Emperor, Feng Xuan. A bright yellow dragon robe, long raven ck hair raised up, a cor sat upon his head, attached to a bright yellow cor cord. Although already forty years old but was full of the aura of an overlord.
Below the dragon throne was a phoenix throne. On the phoenix throne sat Feng nations Empress, An Qian Mei. A pure red pce dress embroidered with phoenixes was worn by the Empress, a full head of luxuriant hair, curved willow brows, a pair of domineering eyes, the delicate lips were sharp, the well-maintained skin and figure made the Empress look only in her thirties.
Under the high tform then, was the various princes and princesses. Because the Emperor Feng Xuan was still young, so did not inaugurate a Crown Prince. So, whether on the surface or in secret, these several princes must have their hands full with infighting.
Lan You Nian did not use too straightforward gaze to assess these people. After all, these people were all immersed within the center of power and authority, a too straightforward gaze will make them aware. Lan You Nian subtly swept over the princes and princesses in the hall while her mind was thinking about the intelligence in her hands.
REPORT THIS AD
But it was just this one nce, Lan You Nian noticed someone who she could never have thought of, and that person looked directly into her eyes, those pair of eyes were full of smile.
Lan You Nians heart dropped, this was the reflex towards the unknown. This man was the one she met that night, that man who was prepared to kill her, but then would rather injure himself instead of killing her. And based on the pair of wolf-like eyes, Lan You Nian knew that this man was Feng nations far-famed Ming wang, the ever-victorious on the battlefield Ming wang.
Lan You Nian carefully studied Feng Yi Xuan. Although Feng Yi Xuan was sitting, Lan You Nian, from that nights meeting, could estimate that his height was about one meter and nine (62). He wore a luxurious purple and gold cor, dressed in a brocade of purple gold silk weave designs, the sleeves were cuffed with a circle of white mink fur, which made him seem more overwhelmingly noble. On his feet were purple leather boots, lithe figure, dignified appearance, a jade tree in the wind, a pair of ice-cold eyes set in a jade-like face, making it look even more umonly handsome. Like an immortal descending from the heavens, or like a demon, making people unable to move their eyes away. Everything around him dimmed, even the heaven and earth lost all their colors.
Feng Yi Xuan saw that girl was studying him, hurriedly pulled in his chilly aura. He nced at his own royal brothers warm temperament, then made an effort to look gentler.
The corner of An Yis mouth twitched, Master, could you not be like this? This will really scare people to death.
AXuan, whats wrong? Fourth wangye looked at his younger brother. Howe the usually the iceberg faced younger brother suddenly became gentle?
Nothing! Feng Yi Xuan instantly returned to normal as he replied to his own brother born of the same father and mother. In this entire royal pce of brothers and sisters, only they truly cared for each other.
Lan You Nian looked at the man talking with Ming wang. This must be Fourth wangye, Feng Xia Qi, Ming wangs biological brother. Seeing the two people talk, the two should have a pretty good brotherly rtionship. Fourth wangyes supporters in the capital city were not small, the callers at the door were numerous. The long inky hair was raised high, only using a simple ink ck ribbon to tie it, a few strands of hair beside the ears had a breeze blowing by, like a butterfly dancing, making the man seem even more elegant and unearthly. But Lan You Nian saw with one nce and knew that this was a smiling fox.
Seeing Lan You Nian looking at his royal older brother, Feng Yi Xuan immediately leaned over to block Feng Xia Qis figure. Royal older brothers refined temperament was well-liked by the capital citys many females. He cannot allow that girl to be charmed by royal older brother also.
Lan You Nian again regarded the several princes and princesses. The Emperor in all had five princes and three princesses. Dont look at the Emperors many consorts, but those who can survive in that royal pce that eats people and doesnt even leave bones only had that many.
Second wangye, Feng Shao Chu, the Empresss son, the expression his eyes were somber, not a person that one can get along with easily.
Third wangye, Feng Lin Che, Noble Consort Lins son, the appearance was not outstanding, can only be regarded as handsome, but excellent maniption.
Fourth wangye, Feng Xia Qi, former Empresss son, the reputation in court was very good.
Sixth wangye, Feng Yi Xuan, former Empresss son, doesnt do things the normal way, merciless in conduct, sweeps the enemy in the battlefield, impressive martial arts, no one in court dared to provoke.
Seventh wangye Feng Ling Ji, mother died early, raised by the Dowager Empress.
Eldest princess, Feng Xiao Luo, Empresss daughter, surrounded by the majestic aura of a royal princess, especially inherited the Empresss chilliness.
Second Princess Feng Yi Shuang, Consort Su daughter, with the most beautiful dance was highly sought after in Feng nation.
Third princess Feng Guan Lian, mother died early, currently raised by Noble Consort Lin, has a naive personality, but Lan You Nian could see the deeply hidden ambition.
Lan You Nian recollected her vision and put away the consideration and thoughts in her eyes. The royal pceske was really muddy. If it were not for revenge, she really did not want to return here. But Lan You Nian understood, didnt want to didnt mean she could escape from it. Since she has alreadye here, she has already stepped into these murky waters.
wang/wangye-first rank prince
a jade tree in the wind-dashing appearance
eats people and doesnt even leave bones-refers to the pce being a dangerous ce where a lot of people die
smiling fox-while in appearance hes this gentle and elegant young man but really on the inside, hes very cunning and shrewd
Chapter 27
27 Celebration Feast
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The music of the musical instruments was endless, during the feast, wine flowed freely, the conversations were jubnt, overflowing with joy. However, people with discerning eyes can all tell that everyone was bored, between each other were merely polite and perfunctory. True, the songs and dances were peaceful, but these were so frequently disyed in the royal pce, it unsurprising that it made people feel agitated.
This wars great victory, sixth prince Ming wang, and General Lan were indispensable! Emperor Feng Xuan raised the golden wine cup, looked satisfactorily down at sixth wangye Ming wang and Lan Jian Jun.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan Jian Jun rose, Feng Yi Xuan without any trace of affection drank the wine in the cup. While Lan Jian Jun respectfully picked up the wine cup and bowed drinking the wine.
This official does not dare to take credit, this time we were able to return victoriously, reliedpletely on Ming wangs astuteness! Lan Jian Jun gave a bow. He was simply an honest man, this time they could return with victory, was indeed Ming wangs merit, if they did not have Ming wangs strategy, if he wanted to win, it might be very difficult.
Haha, it turns out that Xuaner is so formidable, worthy of being my son! Emperor Feng Xuan said jovially. No matter who it was, towards other peoples praise about his own son, he was very delighted.
However, General Lan does not have to be too modest. Heard General Lans son is also a young hero, dont know which one is General Lans son? Emperor Feng Xuan asked. As an emperor, he was very pleased with Lan family, loyal but not overstepping.
Answering the Emperor, it is this official! Lan Mo Xian stood up and saluted. The image of temperate sunlight seemed unable to match the image of heroically killing the enemy on the battlefield.
Not bad! Emperor nced at Lan Mo Xian General Lan, you have a good son, sure enough, a tiger father will not beget a dog son! Clearly, the Emperor was very pleased with Lan Mo Xian.
Emperor over-praise! Men naturally should serve the nation! Lan Jian Jun said in a righteous manner.
Ah, every soldier fought very well, you grow face for zhen and Feng nation! Reward! Emperor Feng Xuan clearly felt happy upon hearing Lan Jian Juns words.
Thank the Emperor! All the soldiers attending the banquet, together with Feng Yi Xuan, said in unison, the only difference was that every soldier knelt on the ground to thank the emperor while Feng Yi Xuan simply stood.
Lan You Nian didnt bat an eysh as she listened to the dialogue between monarch and official. Towards this so-called father, she had a first impression. Lan Jian Jun should be a straightforward person, not greedy for merits, but a general who cared for his soldiers, but was merely just a good general, thats all.
Lan Jian Jun gave thanks for the honor, then got up and sat down. But his eyes looked in the direction of Lan You Nian sitting beside his father inw. Seeing that his daughter never even looked at this father once from beginning to end, Lan Jian Jun felt that his heart was bleeding. When he realized his mistakes and wanted to rectify it, the daughter had already gone further and further away.
Congrattions father for your victorious return, all these years daughter has missed father Lan Ya Ya jumped at the opportunity to show the appearance of a well-behaved daughter. An yiniang looked at her eldest daughter with appreciation.
En! Lan Jian Jun nced at his eldest daughter, in his eyes, there was no trace of fatherly love from a father to a daughter.
Lan Ya Yas face changed a bit, but the hand under the table was pinched by An yiniang. Lan Ya Ya knew mother wanted her to control her emotions, this is her own father, if she wanted to marry a wangye then she must have fathers approval.
Father, why is third little sister sitting beside Tutor He, how about let daughter go and bring third little sister over? She is our Lan manors daughter ah Lan Ya Ya did a good job in acting out the image of a good older sister, but the meaning of the words were implying Lan You Nian was being immature, she obviously was Lan manors third young miss but instead she goes to insinuate herself with Tutor He, this was hitting Lan Jian Juns face.
Lan Ya Ya was certain her father will definitely get angry or indignant. At least he would be more dissatisfied with Lan You Nian. However, when Lan Ya Ya nced at her father, she was let down. After the disappointment was a dense jealousy. Father, from when they were little to when they were older, never cared for the three sisters and brother. Whether they did wrong did right, it was all ignored. How can father be so biased?
After Lan Jian Jun heard Lan Ya Yas words, the first reaction was to think about his daughter who wasnt even willing to sit beside him. He feared, that in his daughters heart, he-this father-was unworthy of being a father. Sadly, this was really the case.
Fourth wangye Feng Xia Qi looked at the younger brother who clearly not normal today. What kind of person was his younger brother, he knew very well. Towards this kind banquet, he would usually just show his face then leave. But today, younger brother not only has been sitting there for so long, but his mood also was clearly not bad. One must know, normally this ice-block younger brother of his always looked so somber, theplete opposite of today!
Feng Xia Qi followed his younger brothers line of sight, but it was this one nce, thatpletely stunned Feng Xia Qi. Sitting next to Tutor He was a very young girl. Under the glow of the night pearls in the hall, disyed a peerless figure. Although the face couldnt be seen clearly, the ice jade skin under the moonlight became even more ethereal and enchanting. A pair of eyes that were more resplendent than the stars in the sky, eyshes like the cattail leaf fan were half-lidded, the long, long ink ck hair hung down to the waist, seemingly like an elf falling down to the mortal world, so beautiful it couldnt be real.
As a wangye, Feng Xia Qi can be said to have seen countless beauties, but there was not one that left such a deep trace in his heart like this girl. If even though the face couldnt be seen, but just with a pair of eyes and this elegant temperament, already no one couldpare.
What is royal brother looking at? Feng Yi Xuan noticed the awe in his royal brothers eyes, suddenly displeased, like something beloved belonging to him was covet by someone else. Even if that person was his royal brother, he still had an itch to kill someone.
Feng Xia Qi withdrew his gaze, then looked at his younger brothers already ckened face, and that cold aura directly aimed at him. Ufortably coughed a little, he had never been stunned by any woman, but today was not only stupefied by looking at a not-yet-woman girl, but was caught by his younger brother, and from younger brothers frosty manner, he must have also like this little girl, just what is this!
Feng Xia Qi actually wanted to say that he was looking at a rare woman in the world, but the eyes watching him with the desire to kill made him a little afraid. This younger brother was very good to him, although he was powerful, he did not love power, instead, let him go vie for that position. He himself didnt love, instead longed to wander in the pugilistic world, but in this position, if you didnt fight for it, then it only represented death!
Nothing! Feng Xia Qi told a bare-faced lie.
Really? Royal brothers eyes arent very good. Tonight, let An Yi apany royal brother practice sparring! Feng Yi Xuan did not expose his own royal brothers lie but directly used means.
An Yi nced sympathetically at Feng Xia Qi, Fourth wangye, say, why didnt you look at someone else, why did you have to look at that youngdy? See now, youve pissed off master.
AXuan, royal brothers body is very healthy, its really not necessary! Feng Xia Qi nced at An Yi standing behind him. Letting An Yi and him spar, he will definitely lose, then, will be beaten up, and then his entire body would be in pain. His martial arts actually werent that bad but could notpare to An Yi. Although younger brother had good intentions in not letting him be negligent in practicing martial arts, please dont use this kind of method ah! This was clearly undisguised revenge ok!?
Let An Er go too! Feng Yi Xuan seemed like he didnt see his royal brothers twitching mouth, serenely tasted the fine wine in his hand.
Feng Xia Qi no longer gave any dispute, otherwise, he knew the end result would be even more wretched, having this kind of younger brother, he was really aggrieved.
Chapter 28
28 Before Returning to the Manor
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
This celebration feast ended on a happy note. Those high officials and noble lords led their family out of the royal pce that was like a cage, but there were still a lot of people who strove for that highest position and crawled into that cage.
Tutor Hes wrinkled face was overflowing with benevolent smiles, on the way, he became even more fond of his own granddaughter.
Tutor He only had one son and one daughter. His wife passed away many years ago but Tutor He did not remarry someone to take care of the two children. Now his daughter has also died like his wife. The son was also a taibao, inheriting his legacy, teaching the princes and princesses education. Tutor He only had one grandson, now he is about seventeen years old, his temper was lively. When Tutor He saw this grandson, he would remember that pitiful granddaughter of his. But now the granddaughter is by his side, Tutor He was very affectionate indeed.
Good grandchild,e home with grandfather, your uncle has been looking for you for many years, you also have a biaoge, the two can have a ymate in He manor. Everyone has left the royal pce and got into their own carriage. Tutor He didnt even think about it and was prepared to bring Lan You Nian go home with him.
Home? Lan You Nian looked at the benevolent elder in front of her, the feelings in his eyes were not false. Perhaps this is the so-called the feelings between elder and younger?
Nianer.... Lan You Nian didnt get to answer before she heard a voice filled withplexity sound behind her.
Lan You Nian looked towards the person who came. It is her so-called father Lan Jian Jun, followed by An yiniang and the three son and daughters and Lan Mo Xian. Lan You Nian slightly curved her knees and gave a curtsy, the still soft and crisp voice sounded but it contained alienation and indifference Regards to General Lan!
A call of General Lan actually made Lan Jian Juns face be a little white. Now, not even a call of father was willing to say? Holding back the sourness in his throat, Lan Jian Jun walked to Lan You Nians side, looked at the thin and frail daughter, and felt even more guilty.
Father-inw, its better if Nianeres with me to Lan manor! Right now, Lan Jian Jun only wanted to make up to this daughter. If daughter lived in father-inws manor, then he was afraid even meeting with this daughter just once would be difficult.
Hmph! Tutor He red at Lan Jian Jun. This old man doesnt want to let his grandchild suffer again, then disappear without a trace while life and death are unknown!
Lan Jian Jun knew that everything father-inw said was fact; he didnt even have the ability to argue. Lan Jian Jun nced at his own son, that nce contained the longing of a father, something Lan Mo Xian has never seen on his father.
Father-inw rest assured, I, Lan Jian Jun, swears that such things will never happen again! Lan Jian Jun vowed.
Grandfather, grandson hasnt seen Nianer meimei for a long time, so let Nianer meimeie home with grandson! Lan Mo Xian came to Tutor Hes side and pled.
Tutor He was also very fond of this grandson who was not his daughters biological son but surpasses biological blood. When his daughter was alive, he often teased this grandson. In Tutor Hes heart, there was no difference between Lan Mo Xian and the grandson at home.
Lan Mo Xian saw that grandfather was bending and was going to continue to persuade when Lan You Nian suddenly spoke.
Grandfather, Nianer better go back to Lan manor! Lan You Nian said in a soft-spoken manner Nianer is originally Lan manors legitimate daughter, living at grandfathers ce will make grandfather suffer criticism.
When Lan You Nian spoke the two words legitimate daughter out loud, An yiniang and her two daughters and one son all clenched their teeth. In the days without Lan You Nian, Lan Ya Ya always considered herself Lan manors legitimate daughter, but now Lan You Nians words made her understand that she was just an illegitimate daughter.
Grandfather is already getting on in years, what criticism is there to be afraid of? How can grandfather let his good grandchild suffer grievances? Although Tutor He was upright, but towards this lost granddaughter who was just found, still gave the sincerest doting of an elder.
Grandfather, you, of course, are not afraid of criticism, but who knows how other people will say Nianer meimei! Besides, Lan manor has grandson, grandson will not let Nianer meimei suffer any grievances! Lan Mo Xian supported Tutor He and said seriously. Before, he was young and weak so Nianer meimei suffered bitterly. Now he has the ability to protect his own little sister.
Well, good grandchild if you have any grievancese tell grandfather, understand? Tutor He also knew that if Lan You Nian lived in his manor, it might not be appropriate, so can only agree.
Thank you grandfather Lan You Nian curtsied, then watched as Tutor He entrusted her for a long time before getting onto the carriage to return to He manor.
Lan Jian Jun looked at the daughter standing in front of him and suddenly didnt know what to say. He actually didnt have the experience of getting along with his children. Lan Mo Xian, he waspletely hands-off with, not needing any concern, while the other children he had, he never concerned himself with, so right now General Lan who is courageous in the battlefield had some uneasiness.
Lan Mo Xian looked at the estranged looks between father and daughter and fathers uneasiness, so he opened a conversation Nianer meimei, do you still remember big brother?
Give regards to older brother! Lan You Nian gave a greeting, then there was no more.
Nianer meimei, why do you wear a veil? Actually, Lan Mo Xian wanted to ask from the start, but only had the opportunity to ask now. Lan Jian Jun was also puzzled why daughter wore a veil.
Does older brother not know? Third little sister ruined her looks when she was little, I heard that the face is like a ghost! Lan Ya Ya replied. Actually, at the banquet, they saw Lan You Nian always wore the veil and never took it off. Although before in the capital city spread rumors of Lan You Nians ruined looks, but they knew that was false.
So An yiniang let a pce maid go check during the banquet but was pleasantly surprised to learn that Lan You Nians looks were indeed ruined. That pce maid saw with her own two eyes. When An yiniang pondered on it, she believed that it was ruined from Lan You Nians fall from the cliff. This way, even if Lan You Nian had the position of legitimate daughter, she did not have anything topete with her daughter.
How could An yiniang know that Lan You Nian deliberately made a scar on her face, and she also deliberately let the pce maid see it? The purpose was to make An yiniangcent so the fall would be even more painful. And her own looks really were too beautiful, this was not a good thing, so it was best to cover it up.
What? Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian were shocked. They didnt even know their daughter (younger sister) s face was ruined. If she didnt have any looks, how could she find a husband who they can entrust her life to in the future ah!
Nianer, this father will find the best doctor, Nianer will definitely get better. Lan Jian Jun gazed with heartache at Lan You Nians veil covered face.
Its nothing, General Lan does not have to bother! Lan You Nian didnt even look at Lan Jian Jun. Now he knew to feel heart-ache, so why when Lan You Nian was still alive didnt he go pity? Toote!

Watching Lan manors carriage depart, two men came out of the shadows. These two men were just preparing to return to their manor, fourth wangye Feng Xia Qi and sixth wangye Feng Yi Xuan.
Zeze, it really is that the heavens covet beauty. This Lan manors young misss face is ruined. I heard a pce maid from the banquet hall say that this young misss face is ugly like a ghost Feng Xia Qi had some pity as he watched the carriage disappear into the night. But even without any beauty, this girl is still so beautiful its stunning!
Feng Xia Qi did not speak any lies. Even if that girl looked ugly, it couldnt hide the aura surrounding her and those dazzling eyes. Moreover, he was not that type of superficial person. A womans beauty wasnt just about looks, but about her inner temperament. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the appearance was, there is always one day it will wilt.
Noisy! Feng Yi Xuan was very dissatisfied with royal older brothers admiration of that girl, inexplicably displeased.
Feng Xia Qis first reaction was to roll up his sleeves and teach this younger brother a lesson, but reconsidering the gap between their martial arts, he silently dropped his sleeves, endured it!
This time you return to the capital, the Empress will definitely make a move again. You should be careful! Feng Xia Qi sobered up and said seriously. In these years, the Empresss factions attack on the two brothers has never stopped. Although in the Empresss eyes, he was hateful, she spent some thought on dealing with him, but now that younger brother is back, the Empress will definitely focus on dealing with younger brother. After all, the military power in Feng Yi Xuans hands was too great, the threat to the Empresss faction was too great.
Its nothing. Royal brother, you must protect yourself better. Your martial arts is too weak! Feng Yi Xuan said with a cold face and a cold voice.
The words were clearly concerned, but as Feng Xia Qi listened, his blue veins popped out. This younger brother of his, the appearance was unparalleled, the means and strategy were also rare in the world, but this ice-cold personality was really unpleasant. He didnt know if anyone in this world could melt this iceberg.
AXuan, Im your royal brother! Feng Xia Qi reminded.
I know, but royal brother you really are too weak! Feng Xia Qi swept a nce over his own royal brother, said sincerely.
Feng Xia Qi didnt have the strength to refute anything anymore, a battle of wits? He couldnt fight over his younger brother. Battle of strength? He didnt want to die too brutally. Forget it, he better go back to his own manor, take a bath and go to sleep!
Feng Yi Xuan, seeing his royal brother was attacked with no strength left, when Feng Xia Qi got onto the carriage, he said, An Yi, how did you forget that you needed to apany royal brother to spar tonight?
An Yi felt sympathy for fourth wangye in his heart, but mastersmand was greater than everything. And just moments ago, master quietly told him to give fourth wangye a good beating. An Yi followed Feng Xia Qi up the carriage, nced at Feng Xia Qis bitter melon face, then thought about what master did today, and instantly understood.
Feng Yi Xuan huffed in his heart, although you are my royal brother, since you so brazenly looked at that girl, if I dont sort you out, thats what would be strange!
Today, arriving at Lan manor were two carriages. Currently, in the spacious carriage sat Lan Jian Jun, Lan Mo Xian, and Lan You Nian.
In the spacious and clean carriage, the side table still had a few cups of warm tea on it, but the atmosphere was stiff. Even Lan Mo Xian didnt know what to say in order to break this atmosphere.
Nianer, Lan Jian Jun called Lan You Nian who was sitting alone on the opposite side.
Lan You Nian lifted her slightly lidded eyes and looked at Lan Jian Jun, looked at this predecessors longed for father. One had to say that this body can have such a beautiful appearance was not without basis. It is said that the predecessors mother was a rare beauty, and while the Lan Jian Jun in front of her was already a middle-aged man, he still as handsome as ever.
The strong and powerful profile, the creases between the eye makes made him look more mature, the beard on his face made him have a more masculine temperament, the tall and firm body and the bronze skin let this man have a masculine charisma. If he was not Lan Jian Jun, Lan You Nian would be very appreciative of such a man.
Lan Jian Jun was a little bit embarrassed under his daughters gaze. Because Lan You Nians gaze was very estranged, like looking at a person who they just met for the first time, there was nothing in her eyes. At what should have been a carefree and innocent age, but Lan Jian Jun could not find anything in his daughters eyes. What does this mean? It means that his daughter has experienced too many things at such a young age, so she has achieved the skill concealing ones anger and delight.
Why did you disappear in the past? Although Lan Jian Jun did not want to tear open his daughters scar, he will not let go of anyone who hurt his daughter. Seems like the manor really needed to be cleaned up, actually lied about matters, lie to him that his daughter was all well. If his daughter really is missing, whereabouts unknown, he......
Right, Nianer meimei how did you go missing in the past? Who did it? Older brother will avenge you! said Lan Mo Xian furiously. He believed little sister, though living poorly in the outside manor, did not have to worry about food or clothing. He didnt think that his little sister actually disappeared five years ago while they didnt know anything about it.
Is it important? Isnt it all over now? Lan You Nian lifted up the tea from the side table, tasting it elegantly. Is it important? Of course, its very important, but she, Lan You Nian, wanted to use her own hands to avenge the bodys original owner.
How is it now important? My little sister, who dares to touch! Lan Mo Xian pped the side table. His Nianer meimei now looking like a pool of stagnant water, he felt heart-ache just watching.
Lan You Nian did not reply, only tasted the tea water. That appearance seemed to be without feelings, without love, without sorrow, without joy. But that image burned the hearts of the two men in the carriage. Lan Jian Jun repeatedly med himself in his heart, just what did he do, he let his good daughter be like this! Even if he died, it would serve him right!
The corner of Lan You Nians mouth curled with a trace of a smile, felt guilty? Guilty was good, only that guilt can heal the predecessors unwilling soul that died very young. The brief contact let Lan You Nian find that this Lan Jian Jun felt guilty towards her and had the desire to make up for it, so Lan You Nian wanted to make him feel guiltier.
Mother, that slut actually came back, she actually came back! Lan Ya Ya growled out through clenched teeth. Ever since she was little, she never liked this third little sister, so even when they were younger, she would bully her. She always remembered that father never cared for them, only loved that sluts mother. Now her mother is dead, but Lan You Nian came back. Father, unexpectantly, turned around his attitude and started to pay attention to that little slut. How could she be satisfied!
Look at you, just a little problem made you panic! An yiniang reproached, clearly not satisfied with her eldest daughters inability to keep a cool head.
Mother, calm down, big sister just had a momentarypse of anger. An yiniangs second daughter Lan Zhi Zhi soothed her mothers anger whileforting her.
Yeah, mother, big sister just had a momentarypse of anger. Lan You Nian that little slut just came back and already stole away fathers attention, really deserves to be punished! An yiniangs only son Lan Yin said, his eyes revealing fierceness.
Alright, the three of you listen. Right now, what you guys need to do is please your father and win your fathers love! An yiniang looked at her three children. These three children were her support, she refused to allow anyone to block the three of theirs paths.
Chapter 30
30 Return to the Manor
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The carriage stopped, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage and Lan Jian Juns paleplexion.
Lan You Nian, slim and graceful, stood in front of the gates of Lan Manor. In front of the broad and wide Lan Manors gates, was erected a majestic stone lion that seemed to be guarding the manor. Above the door hung severalnterns, giving off a faint light in the darkness. Standing in front of the gates were many of Lan Manors servants and maidservants and some of Lan Jian Juns trusted subordinates he brought back, in all totaling a few hundred.
Master! The several hundred people knelt on the ground. Towards this Lan Manors real masters return was clearly respectful but also fearful.
Get up! That face of Lan Jian Juns was particrly frosty, looking at these servants, thinking about his daughter had suffered so many grievances during which he was totally unaware, Lan Jian Jun itched to drag all these people out to be killed.
Nianer, wevee home! Lan Jian Jun didnt look at An yiniang and the others once but dotingly looked at Lan You Nian.
Because of Lan Jian Juns words, everyone looked at the girl who stood there with a veil. Even if she was young but had her own certain kind of elegance. When the housekeeper saw Lan You Nian, it was like seeing a ghost. How could this be? Isnt third young miss dead? Is she a person or a ghost?
Master, this is third young miss? In this world, there are many people who want to rise up higher. Master, you must reconsider ah! The housekeepers first reaction was that this person was fake. It certainly is not that third young miss who died falling down the cliff, so he wanted to expose this persons fake identity.
Would I not even recognize my own daughter? This is my Lan Manors third young miss, I, Lan Jian Juns, legitimate daughter! Lan Jian Jun ignored the housekeepers instigation. Instead, under such circumstances, announced Lan You Nians identity, even more, representative of Lan You Nians return. The servants of the manor could faintly feel that this Lan Manors sky was going to change.
The manors servants have not acted yet while those subordinates who followed Lan Jian Jun back squarely knelt down, Greetings to the young miss!. Their master is Lan Jian Jun, now Lan Jian Jun was expressing his own attitude, even more, was saying this daughters importance to him. So, the loyal subordinates from this moment also regarded this generals daughter as a small master.
Everything that Lan Jian Jun did was perhaps showing off his might for her, but she, Lan You Nian, didnt have any trace of being emotionally moved. Lan You Nian lifted those pair of eyes that wereparable to the stars to look at the manors servants. Clearly, there was nothing in those pair of eyes, but those servants standing there felt their own necks were pressed that they were breathless and suffocating. One knelt down, then one after another knelt down until those servants with the housekeeper all knelt down.
Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter with shock. The imposing manner on his daughters body from moments before were even more extreme than his own, a generals. For so many years, where did daughter go? And had to undergo what?
Alright, go in! Lan Jian Jun took Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian into the manor, followed by An yiniang and others, and then the family servants and others all entered the manor.
Lan Jian Jun sat in the halls most top maroon red chair. Sitting on the left side was warm like the sun Lan Mo Xian. Sitting on the right was the cold like snow Lan You Nian, secondly followed by An yiniangs group of four. Even if she was vomiting blood in her heart, but she also knew that she right now was only a concubine. So many years, Lan Jian Jun isnt in the manor, He Xiao Ran died in the early years, Lan You Nians disappearance has made An yiniang already regard herself as thedy of the house. However, her dreams had only gone halfway before being beaten back by reality.
Uncle* Lan, in the future you are Lan Manors head housekeeper, managing all the chores within Lan Manor! Lan Jian Jun looked at the original housekeeper deeply, his eyes shed with killing intent! Not only pulled the wool over his eyes about Nianer disappearance, but also dared to lie, and every months letter that said Nianer was well, wasnt it this good housekeeper?
Yes, master! an elder about 50 years old slightly bowed his body. This is the elder who was just driving the carriage, more-so, was Lan Manors elder. When Lan Jian Jun went to the borderlines, because Lan Mo Xian was still small, so brought Uncle Lan to take care of him. This elder has been by Lan Jian Juns side for a long time. Lan Jian Jun, towards this Uncle Lan who tirelessly exerted himself for Lan Manor and himself, was very respectful and trusting.
An yiniang trembled, master is suspicious and has put his suspicions on the housekeeper. Since the housekeeper was her own people, if deprived of his housekeeper authority, in the future, if she wanted to do things in Lan Manor, certainly her hands and feet will be bound.
Lan You Nian nced at the elder who was called Uncle Lan. Dressed in in simplicity, but two eyes were shrewd and magnanimous. He looked like a benevolent elder but was not a soft-hearted person.
Housekeeper Lan Jian Jun suddenly called out the currently panicking housekeeper. That voice contained coldness.
The housekeeper tried to make himself look normal, Dont know whats the matter master has?
Whats the matter? What a good question! Lan Jian Jun vigorously pped the table next to him. That table was actually cracked open by Lan Jian Juns strike. Towards the sudden fiery temper of Lan Jian Jun, everyone in the manor, except Lan Jian Juns subordinates, all fearfully knelt down.
Third young miss disappeared without any trace five years ago, why did no one ry this news? And you, my good housekeeper, every months letters actually say third young miss in the outside manor is well. I have to ask and see, how is third young miss well? Lan Jian Jun red at the housekeeper, grit out the words one by one.
Master, Im innocent ah! The housekeeper mmed down as he knelt at Lan Jian Juns feet, tears streaming as if he really was med wrongfully.
Innocent? Then you tell me how you are defamed? Lan Jian Jun kicked away the housekeeper with disgust.
Master, its all this concubines fault! Before the housekeeper could say anything, An yiniang also knelt down in the hall, before words are even spoken the tears are already flowing as she looked at Lan Jian Jun.
Lan Jian Jun looked at An yiniang without any feeling in his eyes. Lan You Nian could even see the disgust inside. This y seemed to be more and more interesting, hm? Lan You Nian lips had an inexplicable smile.
Master, that year when master when to the border, this concubine, one person, supported the massive Lan Manor. Cautious and conscientious didnt dare to neglect. But this concubine didnt expect third young miss to be mischievous, go out, and then identally disappeared. When this concubine learned of third young misss disappearance, knew that even if I died a million deaths, it will not make up for it. So, I went to the pce and asked Empress sister to send people to find third young miss An yiniang exined while she cried, those feelings were so real that it was really convincing. But sending so many people to search for so long, there still isnt even a little news from third young miss. This concubine, at that time, thought that third young miss already...(crying).... this concubine is merely a woman flustered and helpless. I wanted to tell master, but master, at that time, was at the border inbat. How could this concubine let these innerpound matters shackle master ah!
All these years, this concubine has never given up looking for third young miss, and even troubled Empress sister many times, but there was no result. So, this concubine believed third young miss was really killed, but this concubine knew after master came back will definitely be upset. This concubine was afraid master will me yourself because you only cared about fighting in the war, and thus harmed third young miss, so this concubine deliberately said third young miss encountered robbers on the road and died. This concubine is willing to bear all the resentment, just does not want master to be sad ah! An yiniangs every word were all in consideration of this Lan Manor, for Lan Jian Jun, really portrayed the image of a married woman too well.
Moreover, behind An yiniang was still the Empresss backing, even more, has Prime Minister An, this father, s support, matched with todays words, who can still punish her?
Chapter 31
31 You Nian Pavilion
November 2, 2018
secretdreamwishes
In the hall, you could only hear the sound of An yiniangs pitiful cries. The cries seemed to contain a lot of pain and helplessness.
Lan You Nian looked at Lan Jian Jun and did not find any softening in his eyes. It seems that this father really didnt like this An yiniang ah! Such an upstanding father really made people unable to use ruthless methods.
Father, Lan Ya Ya also knelt at Lan Jian Juns feet, Father, do you know these few years you havent been in the manor, how much mother has toiled? Not only it is taking care of the entire Lan manor, but also searching for third little sister. Because of third little sisters disappearance, every night, she cant fall asleep.
Yeah, third little sister, now that you are safe and sound, for the sake of Lan manors family harmony, can third little sister not me mother? Lan Yin looked sadly at Lan You Nian.
The smile on the corner of Lan You Nians mouth that was hidden under the veil became fuller. An yiniang really had a good idea ah! From the outset she had a good backing, if she disposed of her today, it would not be easy to exin to the Empress. Moreover, An yiniangs every word implied it was for the good of this family. Furthermore, her own disappearance could only be med on herself for being mischievous in the first ce while she evenbored in mind and body to search for her. Since nothing happened to her, if now she didnt let go of this matter, then she would be an ungrateful and vicious female.
How could Lan Jian Jun not understand An yiniang and the several others meaning? He became even angrier. Even if it was going against the Empress and Prime Minister An, he wont allow anyone who harmed his daughter to go unpunished! But before Lan Jian Ju could speak, Lan You Nian spoke.
What is second brother saying? From the beginning to the end, little sister didnt say any words of me. Second brother speaking like this, isnt it sowing discord between me and An yiniang? Lan You Nian got up and helped support An yiniang mother and daughter, the attitude was of apletely well-behaved girl.
Third young miss is not ming me? An yiniang seemed to very happy as she tugged Lan You Nians white sleeves.
Of course not, An yiniang is very good to me, how could I me An yiniang? En? Lan You Nian pulled back her sleeves and said distantly.
An yiniang didnt know why, clearly this was the answer she wanted, but when she looked at Lan You Nian, for some reason she always had a chill but then felt that she was thinking too much. The girl in front of her was thin and frail, not to say the least, a 13-year-old child can turn over how big a wave?
Its good that third young miss doesnt ce me, this concubine can finally feel at ease, An yiniang seemed to be really relieved.
If theres nothing else, I will go back to rest first! After Lan You Nian finished speaking, she was ready to leave but An yiniang once again held onto her sleeves. Lan You Nian nced at her sleeve, murderous intent shing within her eyes. Besides those she recognized, she hated being touched by others.
Third young misss courtyard has been neglected all these years. How about let Ya Ya free up space for you to live? Ya Ya and Zhi Zhi can just live together, An yiniang yed out a wonderful image of a mother. That even to disregard her own daughter but care for Lan You Nian, the gesture was intended for Lan Jian Jun to see.
Its no problem, I like that courtyard. There are many things inside worth reminiscing doesnt it? Lan You Nian whispered near An yiniangs ear, making An yiniangs face pale.
After giving Lan Jian Jun a curtsy, she went to the courtyard from memory. That courtyard was very remote. In Lan manor, it can be said the most remote ce. Lan You Nian walked a long time before arriving in front of the courtyard and looked at the worn-out que, You Nian Pavilion, three words that couldnt be seen clearly.
Young miss As soon as Lan You Nian entered the courtyard, Lan Wu and Lan Qu were already waiting in the middle of the courtyard, frowning at the weedy courtyard. They clearly were not pleased with this environment.
Lan You Nian studied the courtyard. Although this courtyard was remote, the entire courtyard upied a wide area. From the abandoned gardens and the already dpidated pavilion, one could still see the exquisiteness of the past. It seemed that this Lan Jian Jun really did treat the predecessor kindly in the past.
Do some sweeping and cleaning, theres nothing unlivable. After Lan You Nian finished speaking, she walked into the room and started cleaning it up. What bitterness did she not eat in the previous life? What ce she never lived in? Even if she was Lan familys daughter, she still experienced the pain and suffering that normal people couldnt endure in order to sit on the seat of the head of house.
Young miss, quick, stay on the side. How can we let the young miss clean? Lan Wu quickly pulled Lan You Nian to the side, for fear that the dust would stain Lan You Nians dress.
Its nothing! Lan You Nian did not leave. Just like this, the three started to clean up the courtyard. There was no distinction between master and servant, no distinction between the top and bottom, only the deep feelings between sisters.
After Lan Jian Jun and son Lan Mo Xian handled some matters, they came to this You Nian Pavilion together to look around. But the closer they walked, the remote road made Lan Jian Jun frown, until Lan Jian Jun stepped into the courtyard and saw the deste courtyard was overgrown with weeds. He suddenly felt guilty, then angry, then heart-ache.
Lan Jian Jun saw the daughter who was supposed to be the legitimate daughter, and the two servant girls sweeping the loft together. The rolled-up sleeves allowed Lan Jian Jun see the white, nearly transparent but thin and pitiful arm and that ustomed attitude made Lan Jian Jun realize that his daughter did not live well in these years.
Lan Mo Xian, with red eyes, looked at the little sister who followed behind him since little, doing the work of servant girl, moving into such a courtyard without any dissatisfaction. He remembered mothers words to him to take care of little sister, but he was really useless, he let little sister suffer.
Nianer meimei Lan Mo Xian grabbed Lan You Nians arm and snatched the cloth out of her hands, How can you do these things?
Nianer, this courtyard has been wasted. How about father pick another courtyard for you? Lan Jian Jun asked. From the short time together, Lan Jian Jun knew his daughter was not a person without any ideas.
No need, this is very good! Lan You Nian refused. In fact, she quite liked this ce. The environment was tranquil, the ce was remote, and theyout of the courtyard was very good. It only needed to be renovated a little.
Hearing Lan You Nians rejection, Lan Jian Jun didnt say anything more. After all, it was him who wronged this daughter, so Lan Jian Jun, when facing this daughter, was always lesser. Moreover, now Lan Jian Jun really wanted to love this daughter, not for any other reason, just because it was his daughter, perhaps because of the blood connection.
These two are? Lan Jian Jun looked at the two females standing beside Lan You Nian. These two werent servant girls from the manor. Furthermore, the twos looks werent ordinary, the temperament could even win over some young misses of great families.
Greetings to General Lan, Lan Wu and Lan Qu curtsied.
This ve-girl is Lan Qu, this is Lan Qu, we are young misss personal servant girls. Lan Qu said with an indifferent attitude.
Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian hearing this, carefully studied the two and saw that the two people were not people with fanciful thoughts. Moreover, hearing the twosst name, they could guess that the two had Lan You Nians trust.
En, this courtyard only has two servant girls, isnt it too little? Father will transfer some family servants and servant girls over! Lan Jian Jun looked at the cold Lan You Nian and suggested.
No need, Lan Wu and Lan Qu are very good! Lan You Nian nced at the two people and smiled slightly.
Then good, you take good care of young miss. If theres anything,e to my ce to find me! Lan Jian Jun said to Lan Wu and Lan Qu, also giving them a privilege in Lan manor. After all, in Lan manor, that a servant girl can go directly to find the general was really rare.
Lan Wu s mouth was ready to refute, humph, even if you dont say we will still take care of young miss, but Lan Qu held back Lan Wu from blurting the words out.
Thank the general, this ve-girl knows! Lan Qu said. They followed young miss back, naturally, the young miss had her own ns. They could not disrupt young misss ns.

Lan Jian Jun already went back to rest. Although he wanted to stay to talk with his daughter, but seeing his daughters distant look, he couldnt force out any words, and so, could only return.
Nianer meimei, Lan Mo Xian reached out a hand to pat Lan You Nians little head just like when they were little, but Lan You Nian suddenly stiffened up and avoided it. Lan Mo Xians hand was frozen in midair and then awkwardly pulled back.
When Lan You Nian saw Lan Mo Xians disappointed expression, she knew her defensive move made this brother, who was like the sunlight, upset. But Lan You Nian didnt do it on purpose. In the first ce, she didnt like the close proximity and the touch of others. Furthermore, whether it was the previous life or this life, there were many dangers in her position, so she was always very sensitive. This was just the bodys conditioned reflex. Now, the only people who could touch her besides shifu and the several senior brothers were only the four subordinates.
Older brother, its just that Nianer hasnt been with brother for so long, so is not used to it, Lan You Nian exined. This Lan Mo Xian truly was very good towards her, just like the several senior brothers. And towards those who were good to her, Lan You Nian will also treat sincerely in return.
Really? Lan Mo Xians sunshine was back, Nianer, have you ever med older brother?
How does older brother say so? Lan You Nian didnt understand as she looked at Lan Mo Xian. me? How could she? She never ced me on others.
Older brother told you before he will protect you. But at that time, older brothers ability was too small, so followed father to the frontier. I thought.... As Lan Mo Xian looked at the little sister in front of him, his heart became more and more grieved, I thought that after waiting for older brother came back, I could better protect you. But didnt expect that you would encounter so many difficulties. If...if I knew things would turn out like this, older brother would rather be an ipetent person than leave.
Lan You Nian regarded the self-ming Lan Mo Xian. Her heart sighed slightly. She didnt expect this man, bright as sunshine, would think so much.
Picking up the tea set prepared by Lan Qu, Lan You Nian leisurely brewed a cup of fragrant flower tea for Lan Mo Xian. Lan Mo Xian smelled the flower tea he had never drank before, then thinking that his own little sister personally steeped it for him, happily picked up the teacup and tasted it. As soon as he tasted it, Lan Mo Xian widened his eyes, because it was too delicious.
Older brother, you did not do anything wrong, you dont have to be guilty. The past is gone, Nianer is good now. This is enough, isnt it? said Lan You Nians voice without any ripple of emotion.
ai, its alright if you arent willing to talk about the past, but from now on, older brother will definitely protect you, Lan Mo Xian promised.
On the side, as Lan Wu and Lan Qu cleaned the pavilion, they watched withughter how Lan Mo Xian tasted young misss steeped flower tea with relish. This picture was very simr to them from before. That day, when the four people drank young misss personally made flower tea, it was also so relished, such that they felt like they had never had tea before.
Lan You Nian looked at the picture Lan Mo Xian made, and inwardly remembered how shifu and several senior brothers were just like this when drinking the tea she steeped and the dishes she made. Shifu even acted shamelessly and spoiled, resorting to every conceivable means, in order to have her cook for him. Sometimes, when she was outside the valley, he would stille looking for her; he was, virtually, an old little kid. Lan You Nian, thinking of that shifu who made peopleugh and jump, her eyes were filled withughter.
After Lan Mo Xian finished drinking the cup of flower tea, he looked up and saw that his little sisters eyes were full ofughter and warmth. That warmth was too warm, the smile was too beautiful. It made people have the urge to do everything just to make her smile.
(cough), is it that older brother drinks too crudely that makes Nianer meimeiugh just from watching? Lan Mo Xian thought of his greedy drinking appearance, whats more, it was also seen his little sister, this made him somewhat embarrassed.
If older brother likes to drink, you cane to Nianers. Theres a lot of different teas at Nianers. Nianer can steep tea for older brother, Lan You Nian also had a good impression of this older brother, so always had a lot more patience.
Really? Lan Mo Xians eyes shed brightly at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian nodded. This kind of look was too familiar because the several senior brothers, when they heard she will brew tea for them, also had such an expression.
Father also loves to drink tea...., Lan Mo Xian tentatively opened his mouth. Father and little sister were so estranged that he felt somewhat helpless. After all, they were blood-rted family, he hoped that little sister could forgive father. This way, in the future, little sister would have one more person to rely on in Lan manor.
Its gettingte. Although you and I are brother and sister, men and women are different after all. Older brother better go back early to rest! Lan You Nian interrupted Lan Mo Xians probing words. Towards this father, she did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, she had a little bit of admiration, but for the death of the predecessor, she was empathetic.
Uh, alright, then Nianer meimei rest early, Lan Mo Xian reminded before leaving. He grew up in the military camp, so really didnt think about the differences between men and women.
After Lan Qu sent Lan Mo Xian out of the courtyard, to her own young miss who sat there with unclear thoughts, she said, Young miss, this Lan gongzi seems to be very good to young miss.
Really is good, Lan You Nian showed neither approval or disapproval.
Lan Mo Xian returned to his Mo Xian Courtyard. As soon as he entered the building, he saw his father sitting at the table, seemingly have aged a lot.
Father, Lan Mo Xian after a courtesy bow sat down beside Lan Jian Jun, Howe father hasnt rested yet?
ai, restless sleep ah, Lan Jian Jun drank a cup of strong tea, Youve been at Nianers for a while, what did you do?
Father you dont know, Nianer meimei knows how to brew tea and more-so, the brewed tea can be described as the best in the world. For the first time, this son drank such a fragrant tea, Lan Mo Xian, when speaking of his familys little sister, a slight smile of sunshine hung on his face.
It turns out, Nianer knows the tea ceremony ah! Lan Jian Jun sighed. He had missed many years of his daughters growth. Now he doesnt even understand this daughter.
Father, Nianer meimei, all these years by herself, must have lived through a lot of hardship, so the temper has be somewhat distant, Lan Mo Xian looked at father who was so mncholy and hurriedlyforted him, Father, everything must be done slowly. This son believes Nianer meimei will one day forgive father.
Its fathers fault ah! Lan Jian gazed at You Nian Pavilions direction. Without even nothing it, now he found that the distance has grown so far.
Father, concerning Nianer meimeis disappearance five years ago, Im afraid theres some oddity, and Nianer meimeis looks.... Lan Mo Xian said worriedly, In the future if you want to find a good marriage...
This father already sent people to check it out. Nianer is so good, its those people who are not worthy of Nianer, Lan Jian Jun said protectively, Besides, your father can raise Nianer for a lifetime, so theres no reason why it cant be done. This way, theres no need to marry into someone elses manor to suffer.
Indeed, Nianer meimei is the best, Lan Mo Xian agreed.

A crescent moon crossed the exquisite mansion, sprinkled the inside of the high walls a dim yellow light. The mansion looked noticeably mysterious and quiet. Looking from afar, every stretch of pitch-ck pces seemed like it was embedded in the dark night.
Feng Yi Xuan stood in front of the window, looking at the massive Ming wangfu, looked at the bright moon outside the window. Dont know why but there was a bit of restlessness in the heart. In his eyes shed the image of that girl named Lan You Nian, whether moving or quiet. The first times rescue, not afraid or contemptuous of his own eyes. The second times blow by blow, the skill was swift and fierce. The third times indifference, like a goddess from the ninth heaven. Every scene lingered within his own thoughts, unexpectedly with unparalleled rity, so clear that he could feel that girls eyes.
Lan You Nian....ha. Nian Nian the deeply sentimental name escaped Feng Yi Xuans thin lips, carried traces of tenderness.
Before the sound ended, Feng Yi Xuan already used his qinggong to fly out. In the shadows, An Yi and An Er shook their head and followed. They could guess somewhat, ever since master met that girl named Lan You Nian, hes be abnormal.
An San channeled her qinggong prepared to pursue, but was blocked by An Si.
An San, we still have things to do! An Si scolded with a wooden face.
(sigh), Xiao Si, dont you want to see what the girl who has enamored master all these years looks like? An San urged You see both An Yi and An Er know and have seen before, only we two havent seen. The woman who can win masters heart is definitely extraordinary ah! Maybe even has three heads and six arms. Lets go see, lets go see it together!
An Sis heart was tempted. Indeed, master wasnt into females all these years. They even believed master was homosexual. It made them worry for a long time, for fear that master will be attracted to them. Now, the unparalleled master of the world, actually is enamored with a woman. They, as shadow guards, also had the desire to gossip.
Meanwhile An San, was thinking An Si must have been moved by her words, so even if their tailing the master was discovered, receiving punishments were two people. In any case there is at least apanion.
But An Si didnt even mutter a sound before flying off at high-speed, looked very thirsty for gossip.
Xiao Si, just you wait! An San roared, channeled her qinggong in pursuit. Meanwhile, the other shadow guards hidden in the shadows watched the four bosses leave. Although they also wanted to gossip, they didnt have the guts to go gossip.
Feng Yi Xuan hid his breathing as he entered Lan manor, but when he entered, he found that it was the first time he did something so brashly. He didnt even know where Nian Nian lived.
Master, Miss Lan lives in the most remote You Nian pavilion in the west right now. An Yi appeared with a sh and reported the information to his master.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at An Yi. There was a satisfactory expression in his eyes, then flew in the direction of You Nian pavilion. Meanwhile, An Yi was feeling somewhat walking on air. Master just moments ago was meaning to praise him, right? After being with master for so many years, he has never seen master so satisfied with him. It seems that his value was still very high, he will definitely work harder in the future.
Entering this remote You Nian pavilion, Feng Yi Xuans brows furrowed. Has Lan manor be so poor that they actually, let the dignified legitimate daughter live in such a remote and dpidated ce? Has that Lan Jian Jun really be confused with age? Next time hell find something to make him a little haggard.
Feng Yi Xuan could feel that there was one shadow guard in this You Nian pavilion. Listening to the breathing, it must be the female shadow guard from that night. Although the martial arts were pretty good, but Feng Yi Xuan could easily evade ande to Lan You Nians room.
Surrounding the entire room, the bright moonlight poured down from the window, the entire room was filled with bright light. On the table was a misceneous book, beside it was an ink stone, and several small brushes were inserted into a pen holder. Turning around, there was a dressing table that all unwed maidens had. There was no jewelry on it, only a in-white white jade hairpin. Picking up the beaded curtain, on that side was the bedroom, the sandalwood canopy bed was hung with pure white gauze curtains, the red flower pattern embroidered on the gauze curtains were the same as that on the handkerchief he carried on him, strange yet beautiful.
His line of sightnded on the bed. Under the moonlight, the girls skin was like the best-looking white porcin jade, peaceful and lovely curled up on the big bed. Hair as silky and smooth as silk fabric shrouded the jade-like skin, ck and white in sharp contrast, like an ink panting. Feng Yi Xuan just stupidly stood in the same spot, infatuated as he watched the girl on the bed.
When seeing the girls face was covered with a veil even sleeping, he couldnt help feeling heartache. If even sleeping she didnt get rid of the veil, this girl probably felt extremely bitter in her heart. But Feng Yi Xuan felt that regardless of what the girl looks like, he will still be a as captivated as he was now.
The moment someone entered the room, Lan You Nian was already aware of it. After promptly putting on the veil that was conveniently ced beside the pillow, the person came in. Lan You Nian could feel that this persons martial arts were much higher than hers. It even didnt attract Lan Fengs attention and was able to enter here must not be underestimated. So, Lan You Nian deliberately pretended to sleep to see what this person wanted to do, and more, use this to as a cover to then kill with one strike. However, Lan You Nian waited for a long time, there was still no movement from the person. Even more terrifying was that the persons burning gaze was unceasingly locked on her.
Quickly picking up the dagger under the pillow, lightning fast leaping from the nket, Lan You Nians dagger was directly pointed towards the persons heart. Initially believing even if it wasnt able to kill with one strike, it could still injure the person. Another reason was that Lan You Nian did not feel any murderous intenting from the person.
Feng Yi Xuan was brought out of his thoughts the moment Lan You Nian made her move, reached out and grasped Lan You Nians wrist. The wrist in the big hands seemed to be very thin and weak, seemed as if he could easily crush it with little effort. Moreover, the wrist in the big hands was like the silky smoothness of the highest-grade brocade, which made Feng Yi Xuan somewhat unwilling to let go.
Lan You Nians right hand was detained, the dagger slipped into the left hand, the left hand seized the dagger and shed in the direction of the neck.
Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to detain Lan You Nians left hand, but he saw the right wrist he had just held was actually reddening, realized that his strength seemed to be too much, so didnt dare to grasp tightly on Lan You Nians left hand, only could step by step, take a few steps back, leaving Lan You Nians attack range.
Lan You Nian unmistakably felt that this person seemed to have no killing intent, even yielding to her. So, stopped the attacking and looked at the person.
Its you....

Under the moonlight, the tall man stood in her room in the same clothes from the banquet. There was an iprehensible light in his eyes that Lan You Nian didnt understand.
Lan You Nian sat back on the bed and reclined on the headboard, suspicion visible in her eyes. Dont know what Ming wang hase in the middle of the night for?
Feng Yi Xuan regarded Lan You Nianszy and casual appearance. Clearly, the appearance was not yet mature, the figure was not fully developed, but right now, he was being tempted very deeply. He slowly walked over to the bed and came to a stop in front of Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nians hands that were at her sides suddenly moved. The dagger returned to her hands in an instant. Towards anyone who got too close to her, she was very wary of. Not to mention that this Ming wang gave Lan You Nian a sense of great danger.
While Lan You Nians stiffened her body, Feng Yi Xuan slender fingers picked up the nket that was scattered on the ground and gently covered Lan You Nian, blocking the cold north wind blowing in from the window in the night. Feng Yi Xuans actions seemed very natural. He wanted to do it so thats what he did. He didnt think too much about it nor felt awkward.
But Lan You Nian was different. She didnt understand what exactly Ming wang wanted to do, or what he actually wanted. Lan You Nian didnt even think that this seemingly arrogant man would actually cover her with a nket. It seemed so very unbelievable.
Came to see you, After tucking Lan You Nian in, only then did Feng Yi Xuan reply in a serious manner. He just wanted to see the girl in front of him, to see what she was doing. He couldnt think of anything else, only wanted toe and see her.
Lan You Nian frowned. She felt that she could notmunicate with this Ming wang. Look at her? What kind of reason is this? And better yet, who trespasses an unwed maidens room in the middle of the night to see her?
Dont frown, I really just came to see you, Feng Yi Xuan could guess Lan You Nians perplexity. Speaking of which, he himself felt it was unbelievable, but he didnt wish to see this girl frowning. Seeing the girl frown, he always felt very ufortable in his heart.
Then, if Ming wang has seen enough, can you leave? Lan You Nian ignored Feng Yi Xuans intimate words, directly started driving people off. To think, she never felt so full of grievances as she did now. Honesty, this mans martial arts were too high, she wasnt a match. If rashly striking out, then the one who would be injured would definitely be her.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian felt goosebumps from Feng Yi Xuans gaze. She really couldnt understand this mans thoughts, especially as this man didnt seem to y the cards ording tomon sense.
This ce is too shabby. Feng Yi Xuan ignored Lan You Nians rush, nced at the room and the yard he just saw and said with much distaste.
Lan You Nian realized she really couldnt keep up with this Ming wangs thinking. Is this the difference between modern people and ancient people?
I like it very much, Lan You Nian replied. The dagger in her hand shifted. It really is that her good temper has worn down to nothing. Not sleeping in the middle of the night, instead, having to talk with a man about such a boring topic made Lan You Nian be speechless.
Have a good rest, Feng Yi Xuan suddenly shot out a hand and took the dagger from Lan You Nians grasp hidden under the nkets. Under Lan You Nians gaze that shed with killing intent, he put it away, and then tucked in the nkets and left.
Lan You Nian could feel a mouthful of old blood was about to spew out. What was wrong with this man!? But its fine, seeing that this man did not have any malicious intent, Lan You Nian wasnt the kind of person who worried for nothing. Since it was not someone who endangered her, Lan You Nian will not think too much. When she felt that the man has indeed left, only then did she fall asleep.
-chinese snowball
After Feng Yi Xuan left Lan You Nians room, he stood on the tall and thick viburnum (Chinese snowball) tree in the courtyard. The pure white flowers swaying with Feng Yi Xuans unparalleled face became even more elegant like a celestial. Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nians room, just thinking that Xiao Nian Nian was there, there was a feeling of satisfaction in his heart. There was an impulsive desire to keep guarding this ce.
An San, An Si, Feng Yi Xuans voice suddenly rose and scared An San and An Si, who were hiding in the back, out of their wits. They nearly fell from the top of the wall. They didnt even get to see Miss Lan, how was it theyve been discovered by master? An Si red at An San, see, you had toe and join in the fun, now we are so dead!
To which An San mercilessly red back, did I f~cking drag you here? Serves you right!
Master, An San and An Si came up behind Feng Yi Xuan and cautiously watched masters expression.
Before dawn, clean the yard, and bring over the best things from the manors warehouse and decorate everything, Feng Yi Xuan withdrew his gaze and swiftly disappeared into the night, only leaving An San and An Si in the night wind in total disorder.
An Yi and An Er gave An San and An Si a kick. An Yi scoffed Let you gossip, now you must suffer the consequences of your own doing.
You guys better decorate this yard to Miss Lans wishes, or else...master there.... An Er sinisterly finished speaking and flew away with An Yi.
An San, youre a female as well, do you know what kind of arrangements girls like? An Si asked while sweeping the yard.
Dont know, ai, didnt even get to see that Miss Lan ah! How about we secretly go look? An San miserably looked at this yard that has been deserted for many years, thinking, if it was arranged ording to wangfu, would it be too cold and cheerless?
An San, do you want to die ah! Look at how master is, also know that master cares about this Miss Lan. All these years, have you seen master care about someone else, especially a female? An Si analyzed, even more certain of Lan You Nians position in masters heart.
True. Maybe in the future, Miss Lan will be wangfus mistress. Finally, wangfu will have a female, An San, thinking of herself being the only female who was surrounded by all men, was severely dissatisfied.
En, you cant be considered a woman anyway, An Si swept over An San and came to a conclusion.
Go die! An San gave An Si a kick, but then thought, if the activity was too big and woke up that youngdy, she chose to restrain her temper.
Young miss, Lan Feng appeared in Lan You Nians room.
What? Lan You Nian was awake the moment Lan Feng appeared in the room.
There are people in the courtyard cleaning, and their martial arts arent low. There are even people bringing many valuable objects from outside to decorate the courtyard, Lan Feng reported what she saw to her familys young miss. She saw the people did not have ill-will so did not make a move. Moreover, there were a lot of people. If she rashly made a move, it will definitely bring young miss trouble.
Oh? Let him go, as long as there is no danger to us, then dont mind it, Lan You Nians instincts told her it was that Ming wangs doing. Just moments before, he said her courtyard was dpidated, then within minutes, spent manpower and resources to decorate her courtyard. This Ming wang became more and more difficult to understand.
Yes, After Lan Feng withdrew, she vigntly guarded Lan You Nian, fearing that those people have any improper intentions. But until dawn, those people only clean up and decorated the courtyard. It seemed there were no other intentions.
Chapter 35
35 Lan Manor Guards
November 7, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian woke up by early morning. Lan Wu and Lan Qubed Lan You Nians hair into a hairstyle. Because they knew Lan You Nians preference, so they only arranged the mostmon hairstyle. There wasnt even one piece of jewelry on her head. But even so, Lan You Nians beauty was dazzling to the eyes.
Standing on the top floor of the pavilion, Lan You Nian studied the courtyard that lookedpletely new again in just one night. The appearance of a wastnd overgrown with weeds could no longer be seen. The garden was newly loaded with many expensive flowers, which looked delicate and beautiful under the moisture of the dew. The once pale walls were carved with vivid spider lilies. Lan You Nian was a bit surprised, after all, no one in this world knew about spider lilies.
Not far away, a clear spring gushed out, transformed into a green belt that trickled in the courtyard. The spring water, flooded with the gleam of glittering stars, made people feel stunned and beautiful. In such a short time, one was able to draw out the spring water of the rear mountain, this Ming wang really couldnt be underestimated.
The already faded que has been changed, the gilded que was engraved with three words as hearty as a dragons formYou Nian Pavilion. The people who Lan Feng said camest night to arrange and clean up the courtyard have already left. You Nian Pavilion, as of this moment, was serene and beautiful.
Good heavens! Young miss, was this done by those people who Lan Feng said came? Lan Wu gaped at the beautiful courtyard and was shocked. Though the residence they lived in were all luxurious and beautiful, but to be able to decorate everything in such a short time, it was simply too amazing!
En, Lan You Nian was also very satisfied with this courtyardsyout. The environment was tranquil and low key, giving people the illusion of being in the mountains.
Young miss, Im afraid its not appropriate for those people to do this. After all, we have nothing to do with those people, Although Lan Qu was also surprised by the changes in the courtyard, she was more concerned about their young misss interests.
No worries, the things that are gifted to us, it would be a waste if we dont ept it, Lan You Nian reassured. She had a clear understanding of that Ming wangs temper. Even if she wanted to return, it would be impossible. Since its like this, it was better to be at ease and justified in epting.
Nianer, Lan You Nian stood on the top of the pavilion and noticed Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian entering the courtyard, their face full of surprise.
General Lan, older brother, Lan You Nian descended down the top floor of the pavilion and gently curtsied.
Nianer meimei, what is going on here? How did it change so much in one night? Father and I even brought a lot of servants to clean up the courtyard, Lan Mo Xian was surprised to see the new courtyard. He honestly couldnt imagine that such a big transformation could happen in just one night.
Lan You Nian looked out of the courtyard and saw, that there was, in fact, a lot of family servants standing outside, tools in hand, were all for repairing the courtyard. Even some of Lan Jian Juns subordinates carried pieces of very fine ornaments. It was very telling that these were all specially chosen by Lan Jian Jun.
What has older brother came so early for? Lan You Nian asked.
Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian could sense Lan You Nians concealment, but they also knew to not ask any more questions, Nianer, these are my subordinates. From now on, you can dispatch at your will. Your courtyard is too deserted, Lan Jian Jun pointed to the men behind him. In regard to the other family servants and servant girls, he will not arrange them to his daughters courtyard. Those people, he was not at ease with. He will not let the past repeat itself. He especially wont let his daughter be wronged under his own eyes.
Lan You Nian nced at Lan Jian Jun. She could see the anxiousness in Lan Jian Juns eyes, but Lan You Nianpletely ignored it.
Young miss! Twenty guards outside the courtyard shouted in unison. Since their general whom they devoted themselves to have ced them beside young miss, then from now on, they were young misss guards.
Those guards, though their skill wasnt at the top, the subordinates under Lan Jian Jun were not ipetent. Right now, on the surface, Lan You Nian seemed to be fighting alone in Lan manor. All she had were two delicate servant girls by her side. These people not only could run errands for her, but they could also hide her own capabilities.
You should know, once you have entered this You Nian courtyard, I am your master. What I want is obedience to orders, can you do it? Lan You Nian looked at each one of those guards who has experienced the battlefield, the tone carried the pressure of a superiors and asked.
Everyone was amazed by Lan You Nians pressure, then it was deep admiration, and responded in unison, Only follow young misss lead!
Very good. Lan Qu, bring them in and put things down and thene to see me. Lan You Nian nodded with satisfaction, her eyes shed with brilliance.
When everyone put their things down and returned to the courtyard, Lan You Nians pair of bright eyes swept over those 20 people, cherry red lips spit out, Now, I need you to do something for me.
As the young missmands, One of the twenty men stepped out and said.
Kill him! Lan You Nians finger, slender as white scallions, pointed towards Lan Jian Jun with no change of expression in her eyes.
The entire courtyard became silent. Lan Jian Jun looked at his own daughter and didnt know what to say. Lan Mo Xian opened his mouth ready to mediate. Lan Wu and Lan Qu were expressionless, only believing in their familys young miss. The twenty guards raised their heads, shocked, as they looked at the girl who stood there, so beautiful that is was out of this world. They wanted to find any trace of joking from her face, but there wasnt any.
However, in mere moments, that guard who just responded suddenly took out the sword that he carried with him and charged at Lan Jian Jun. Meanwhile, the other guards also charged, leaving only five guards who refused to hurt the Lan General in their hearts.
Fifteen guards attacked Lan Jian Jun without any holding back. But Lan Jian Jun has fought on the battlefield for so many years, it wasnt merely superficial. He took up the blue-ck sword and wrestled together with the guards. Lan Mo Xian unsheathed his sword, ready to help his father, but Lan You Nian stepped forward and prevented Lan Mo Xians actions.
Nianer meimei, Lan Mo Xian didnt understand.
Lan You Nian looked at the figure that became more and more disheveled. Lan Jian Jun was worthy of being a general of a country. The sword in his hand was like the power of thunder. Several guards were already starting to receive injuries, but it was clear that Lan Jian Jun did not deal killing blows, instead because of hesitations, he was apparently haggard himself.
Alright, return! Lan You Nians soft voice sounded. Fifteen guards released a huge sigh of relief. Although they were already young misss subordinates, swinging their swords towards their respected general, they did not feel very good in their heart.
Fifteen guards returned to their original positions. Lan Jian Jun was also relieved. He was really afraid that his daughter wanted to kill him, then how agonized would he, this father, be?
You guys stay, while you five can leave, Lan You Nian said.
Young miss, Those five guards knelt. It wasnt that they didnt obey young misss orders, but that Lan Jian Jun was their past master and was someone they respected.
What I want is absolute obedience, and you, Lan You Nian nced at the five kneeling on the ground, are not the guards I need!
Since these five are not qualified, this father will take them away, Lan Jian Jun could see his daughters resolution and decisiveness, knew it was not appropriate to say more and left with the five guards.
Nianer meimei, you really scared me! Lan Mo Xian patted his chest. The situation from mere moments ago was really bad. Both sides were his loved ones, neither one he wanted to be hurt, he really didnt know what to do.
Hehe, older brothers guts are so small, thats not good, Lan You Nian teased. She didnt like to y the cards ording tomon sense. She hoped this older brother will have bigger guts in the future.
Chapter 36
36 Wu Qing Xiao Jin Pavilion
November 7, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The building overflowed with fragrance. A que made up of a clustering of flowers Wu Qing Xiao Jin Pavilion hung high. As soon as you entered the door, you will see the hall was paved with pure white carpet, extending all the way to every corner. In the very middle of the hall was a high tform. There were different colored clusters of flowers beside the high tform.
Because it was daytime, there was no one in this the capital citys most prominent brothel. The procuress saw Lan You Nian C disguised in mens clothing, the face covered with a mask Ce in and hurriedly came up to him.
Master! the procuresss previously frivolous expression was immediately put away, that face painted with makeup became respectful.
En, is the third young master here? Lan You Nian scanned around the entire brothel and could see that third brother took good care of the brothel.
Third young master is resting on the third floor. Do you need subordinate to wake up third young master? the procuress ordered the door of the brothel to be closed. After all, masters matters were very mysterious, to avoid unnecessary people from knowing the whereabouts of the master, several of the young masters already passed down orders to hide the whereabouts of master.
No need, you can go do yours, Lan You Nian went straight to the third floor. The procuress was full of respect as she gazed at masters figure. Their Wu Qing Pavilion had many properties. Their master was this very young man. There were five young masters under master who take care of all businesses. This very young master possessed the intelligence and power that others didnt have.
Lan You Nian slowly walked on the stairs leading to the third floor. This brothel was founded three years ago. It was not as extravagant as other brothels but had a bit of elegance. This kind of arrangement will make those who think with their lower bodies like it, and in her brothel, the guests can choose which prostitute to serve them, but the prostitute also had the right to refuse. Such a rule not only did not scare off those men, but instead, it was more attractive to people. Women who meekly submit to oppression, people were already bored of.
The biggest use of this brothel was to inquire about various information and collect various news. The girls in the brothel were not all Wu Qing Pavilions people. Only a mixture of truth and falsehood, seemingly false and real at the same time, can make people unable to feel out Wu Qing Xiao Jin Pavilions real intention.
Pushing open the door of the third-floor room, Lan You Nian realized Gui San was still asleep. The folding fan that didnt leave the body was ced on the bedside. Every time Lan You Nian will roll her eyes, this attention-seeking foxs nket was actually pink colored! Pink colored ah! It tested her eptance a little too much!
Enough, dont pretend to sleep, Lan You Nian picked up a teacup and poured a cup of tea for herself. After sipping a while, only then did she notice that Gui San who was sleeping on the bed was still pretending to sleep and couldnt help butugh.
Then you continue to sleep, I am leaving, Lan You Nian put down the teacup, stood up and was ready to leave.
Little junior sister is now busier, where is there time to see third brother ah! Gui San picked up the folding fan beside the bed and began to shake it, that strange style of painting contained an iprehensible joy.
Lan You Nian suddenly understood. Third brothers news was the most informed. He probably already knew she has returned to the capital but having waited a long time yet still didnt see here to see him, so he was angry. Originally, when she returned to the capital, she was really prepared toe to Wu Qing Xiao Jin Pavilion to see third brother and give third brother a surprise, but having been dyed, she could only go directly to the pce.
Howe third brother has be more childish, more and more like shifu? Lan You Nian wasnt annoyed. Concerning Gui Sans conduct of venting hot air from time to time, she was already used to it.
Heng, you dont save us from worrying. This capital citys water is too deep. You didnt even arrange anything and came directly. Even didnt tell shifu, Gui San put on his outer robe and scolded at that little junior sister who didnt have any awareness of danger.
I always needed toe back. Since I have this opportunity, of course, I have toe back, said Lan You Nian, meaningfully.
Very well, we cant stop you from doing what you want. Be careful with everything, Gui San sighed. His little junior sister, dont just look at her peerless beauty, seemingly weak and pitiful, but in her bones, she was more stubborn than anyone else, even with unforeseen overbearingness.
Help me investigate this man C Ming wang Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian said the main purpose ofing here today.
What? He messed with little junior sister? Gui San hurriedly asked.
No, its just that this person gives me a very dangerous feeling. Since hes dangerous, of course I have to understand, Lan You Nian thought of that Feng Yi Xuan and couldnt help but feel helpless. This kind of person, martial arts couldntpare to him, identity couldnt overwhelm him, it is indeed a problem.
There isnt much information about Ming wang. Besides those so-called rumors, there is very little information about him, Gui San frowned, thinking back to all the things about Ming wang.
Very well, this matter does not need to be rushed, I will go to Wu Qing Zhen Wei Pavilionter, will third brother go? Lan You Nian asked.
Will you go y the zither and sing? Gui San asked with bright eyes.
Lan You Nian nodded.
Zhen Wei Pavilion will definitely turn over with profit. You dont know how just one of your songs is so stunning, how many prominent officials and eminent personagese to Zhen Wei Pavilion, just to listen to your song. But you, sometimes dont even appear even once for half a year, Gui San stared at Lan You Nian and seemed to see that real gold and silver enter their own pockets.
Third brother, you really are an unscrupulous merchant. Seeing you like this, you look like you want to sell Nianer, Lan You Nian teased.
Ai, little junior sister, you wrong me. Your third brother, I, am indeed an unscrupulous merchant but how could I sell little junior sister? You are shifu and us senior brothers treasure, Gui Sans folding fan struck his own palm, looking seriously at Lan You Nian.
How is your body? After using the fragrant lotus, has it suppressed the poison? Gui San changed the topic too fast, but the real worry was clear.
En, very good, it isnt life-threatening for the time being, Lan You Nian, although tried her best to save her body, she wouldnt worry all day because of this toxic poison.
Gui San suddenly didnt know what to say tofort the little junior sister in front of him. Can he say that they can definitely cure the poison in your body? So many years have passed, the poison is still afflicting little junior sister. From the time when little junior sister was little to the present, they were clear on how painful it was when the poison activated, but their little junior sister never voiced anything, never even cried. Did she know, how such a little junior sister made peoples heart ache?
I heard that recently Bai Lian is very popr? Lan You Nian thought of the most favored woman in the brothel called Bai Lian.
Of course, the women trained ording to little junior sisters methods, how can she not be loved? How many people have squandered their family fortune in order to see Bai Lian just once? But.... Gui San kept the listener in suspense.
En?
This Bai Lians has a person in her heart. Guess who it is? Gui San asked.
Is it you? Dont you touch the women in the brothel, isnt this is all your money tree? Lan You Nian warned. It really is that Gui San loved beauty too much.
This time you really wronged me. The one she fancies is you, little junior sister.

37 Lovesick Bai Lian
November 7, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Third brother, are you for real? Lan You Nian posture was one of being struck by lightning. Although she didnt discriminate against same-sex love, she never thought about hooking up with a woman ah!
Little junior sister, you have be more and more mesmerizing, even beauties are obsessed with you. Gui San took out a handkerchief to wipe off his face of tea leaves and tea water, gloating over the others misfortune, You also know Bai Lian is a qingguan, never takes any guests except for getting on stage and performing. Of course, there was nothing strange about this, but what is strange is that she always intentionally or unintentionally asks if you wille to Xiao Jin Pavilion. That looks of a young girl in love is very moving ah!
Lan You Nian felt her whole body was not good. Knowing Bai Lian was a very beautiful ident. Just like all the storyline that were beyond absurdity, but the difference is that she is not the male lead but a female in disguise ah!
Two years ago, when she was out of the valley and on the way to the capital city, she found a team of martial arts guards on the road escorting a not-ordinary woman fleeing on the road. Lan You Nian watched this with interest, and so hid with Lan Ren to watch this free martial arts drama. Till thest one of the guards fell down, even the servant girls with the woman because of protecting their master were shed to death with one blow of the de by the pursuers in ck.

flying immortal hairstyle
Lan You Nian stood on a lush tree branch and observed the woman who came out of the carriage. The long hair was done into a flying immortal hairstyle, a few strands of hair hung down at the ear. Under the whispering breeze, like a fairy, pure and elegant. A purple one-piece dress was tightly wrapped around the curvaceous figure. With just one nce, Lan You Nian was sure that this was a great beauty.
But what was more interesting to Lan You Nian is that although the womans expression was flustered, there were tears in her eyes when she saw the servant girls and guards death, but she did not ask for mercy nor did she wail. She still stood nobly within the encirclement of the men in ck, her expression was noble and didnt tolerate disrespect. This temperament could only belong to the royal family.
So, when the woman stood straight up to meet death, Lan You Nian was like an elegant young man blocking in front of the woman. The brutal moves with a posture like floating clouds and flowing water finished off all the people in ck, and also saved that lotus-like woman.
Since then, that woman has followed Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian had no choice but to put her in Xiao Jin Pavilion. At that time, Lan You Nian did not allow her to pull business and intelligence for Xiao Jin Pavilion. However, Bai Lian voluntarily went on stage to perform and solicited a lot of business for Xiao Jin Pavilion. But Lan You Nian didnt know that Bai Lian actually had such thoughts about her.
Ai, I am destined to forsake her, Lan You Nian thought of Bai Lians radiant countenance when she saw here to Xiao Jin Pavilion and knew what Gui San said wasnt false.
This Bai Lians identity isnt simple. Little junior sister cannot offend her. You must know, a woman in love is the most terrifying, Gui San said worriedly. This Bai Lians words and actions were that of royalty, only just slightly poorer whenpared to little junior sister. Although Bai Lian is now working for Wu Qing Pavilion, who knows what will happen in the future?
If Bai Lian was such a woman, Nianer would not save her in the first ce. She is a woman who is as transparent as a lotus flower. Even if she loses her love, she will still live beautifully, When Lan You Nian thought of that resilient Bai Lian, she was also very appreciative.
Little junior sister, you have not revealed your real face in the generals manor have you!? Gui San meticulously studied Lan You Nians heavenly fairys appearance and asked.
Yes, what of it? Lan You Nian didnt understand.
Huthats good, otherwise wont the whole the capital city explode with flowers? Little junior sister, its not that third brother is saying you, its best if you dont show your beauty. Otherwise, it will make people admire, envy, and hateful, Gui San said gravely. If little junior sister didnt grow up together with them and had the fondness of family, how many of them C senior and junior brothers C will be able to escape the charm of little junior sister?
Lan You Nianughed. Her face was indeed too delicate and beautiful. Compared to the charms of her previous life, this face was purer, saying it was a heavenly fairy would not be overemphasizing. This was exactly the appearance of the beauty that brought cmity to the country.
Master, third young master, The procuresss voice came from outside the door.
What is it? asked Gui San.
Miss Bai Lian wants to y a song for the master, dont know if master has need of it? the procuress heart trembled with fear as she asked. Miss Bai Lians intentions were clear to many people, but the master was quite mysterious, even his face wasnt clear. This Miss Bai Lian will probably be disappointed.
Gui San shot a look at Lan You Nian, obviously letting Lan You Nian decide herself whether to see or not see. Speaking of which, this Bai Lian was pitiful, she not only fell in love with someone, but this person also doesnt evene several times a year, so she can only wait. Even worse, she fell in love with a woman, who was still just a little girl.
Let here in! Lan You Nian soft voice with low tones sounded.
Bai Lian stood behind the procuress. When she heard masters voice, the entire person was beaming like a blooming flower. The procuress observed her and couldnt help feeling, Miss Bai Lian, why must you be so? Miss Bai Lian, master said you can go in.
When Bai Lian opened the door of the room, she saw that man who was sitting on the soft couch and sipping tea. Clearly, his height wasnt very high, but in Bai Lians eyes, he was higher than anyone. That surrounding aura like the devil and like a demon, was even more bewitching to Bai Lian, causing that beautiful face to blush with pink.
Master, third young master, Bai Lian, after a ceremonious curtsy, raised her head and peered at Lan You Nian who she had not seen for many months.
En, have you been living well here? Lan You Nian told Bai Lian to sit down and personally poured Bai Lian a cup of tea and asked with concern. After all, such a proud womanmitted herself to a brothel, more or less would still have some regrets.
Thank master for your concern, Bai Lian has been very good, Bai Lian said down with a graceful demeanor. She was deeply moved by Lan You Nians concern.
Bai Lian, you are a good woman. If you dont like this kind of environment, I can arrange it, Lan You was still a bit more tolerant to Bai Lian. For this bloom of white lotus, Lan You Nian did not want to cken her.
Master, has Bai Lian not been doing well? Bai Lian asked sadly. She liked this kind of life, unbridled and natural, it wasnt as straight and narrow as her life from before.
You are doing very well, but I dont want to wrong you, can you understand? Lan You Nian was really not good at this kind of emotional matters. Gui San was watching on the side and wanted tough. Isnt this a romantic debt?
Master, Bai Lian really likes this kind of life. Despite being in a brothel, but am free, and everyone in Xiao Jin Pavilion is very good to Bai Lian, Bai Lian said sincerely.
En, thats good, Lan You Nian nodded, Didnt you say you wanted to y the zither?
Bai Lian sat beside the zither in the room, strummed out a sophisticated tune. This song was handed over to Bai Lian by Lan You Nian. At that time, Bai Lian admired Lan You Nian even more. Master really is endowed with both literature and martial virtues. Bai Lian, before, came many times to y this song by herself. Now she can finally y this song for the master.

38 Zhen Wei Pavilion
November 15, 2018
secretdreamwishes
In the bustling market of the capital, there stood an independent pavilion with blue bricks and tiles. Faintly revealing a corner of a fake mountain, the pavilions and pavilion towers, the luxuriant and well-spaced trees and flowers exhibited themselves with the wind, giving it a taste of Jiang Nan river andkes. People havent yet walked in, but one could already imagine the scenery inside will make peoples hearts drunk. At the door stood two servers who were dressed in the same uniform and presenting a standard smile as they searched for a box and seat for each guest. Walking in, you will find on every table, there was a white slim porcin vase with several clippings of elegant flowers inside. This is the famous Wu Qing Zhen Wei Pavilion in the capital!
Zhen Wei Pavilion was not only fresh inyout but also delicious. More importantly, in Zhen Wei Pavilionsrge hall, at the very top was a beautifully carved stage. Surrounding the stage was beaded curtains that vertically obscured the sight. Inside the bead curtains, there was a chain of fresh flowers hanging like the bead curtain as they dangled around the stage. From the hall and the second-floor box, you can only see the persons silhouette on the stage.
This stage was the most famous spot in Zhen Wei Pavilion because, since the opening of Zhen Wei Pavilion, there would be a girl whoes here to sing from time to time. No one knew this youngdys family name, age, and appearance. But this youngdys songs were popr throughout the maind.
Before, how many rich and powerful people wanted to see this youngdy once, but only ended up dead without a known cause. If anyone dared to speak insolently during this youngdys performance, then the next day will find the persons corpse. This made everyone no longer dare to have any ideas about this youngdy. Everyone knew that this restaurant was Wu Qing gongzis property. For this youngdy to be so sheltered by this restaurant, many people believed that this youngdy and Wu Qing gongzi had an umonly good rtionship.
Lan You Nian and Gui San discreetly entered Zhen Wei Pavilion through the back door. They stood in the third-floor box and looked at the swarming heads of guests downstairs. Lan You Nian was speechless and asked, Third brother, what did you do?
I only let people spread along a message, today, Miss Miao Yin who has been away for three months will be on stage again. Then you see this, Gui San helplessly gestured to the situation in the hall below. There were even many people who were thinking of ways to enter Zhen Wei Pavilion to listen to Miss Miao Yins song.
Lan You Nian looked at the many people down below and couldnt help but feel that this ancient times pursuing celebrities was still quite a rage ah! It was even crazier than the modern star chasing. The songs that she sang were just a collection from the modern culture. Moreover, she has only been on stage a few times since the establishment of Zhen Wei Pavilion. She didnt expect that even so, she was already so popr.
Our apologies, Zhen Wei Pavilion is full today, a server wearing blue robes smiled and apologized to the many people outside the door who wanted to enter the restaurant.
What? Is it full? I can double the money. Today Miss Miao Yin ising. I have been waiting for so long to listen to Miss Miao Yin, a noble young master said dissatisfied.
Yeah, Miss Miao Yins performance is a rare sight ah! Server, I will triple the money, another noble young master shouted.
The server looked at the mountain and sea of people outside the door and wiped the sweat on his head. He didnt expect that as soon as Miss Miao Yin wasing to the restaurant, so many people woulde. Now what should be done?
Every distinguished guest, this small store because of the many people is already full, so were very sorry. But Miss Miao Yin will be on stage again not long after. When the timees, we request everyone to reserve their seats earlier, the owner of the restaurant smiled as he stood out and soothed the frustrations of the people outside. In reality, his heart felt very aggrieved. How can third young master release the news ah!? Now they certainly have things to keep them busy.
On the second floors most noble box, there sat four men. One was Feng nations well-known war god Feng Yi Xuan. White clothes and ink hair, the whole being exuded the domineering aura of a king. The ice-cold face looked like it was part of the frigid snow and made people tremble with fear. He stood there like an ice sculpture, handsome withoutpare, cold like frost, breathtakingly peerless.
The other side sat Feng nations most elegant and modest man. He was Feng nations fourth wangye, Feng Xia Qi. His eyes were warm but like a foxs overflowing with fine light, always exuding a radiance that attracts people. His face was clear, lips were like rose petals, and his body was slender but strong.
In another spot sat the army divisions highly respected military advisor, Jing Wu An. This Jing Wu An military advisor had a slightly thin face, narrow eyes, prominent nose, thin lips were slightly pale, and gave people the impression of a schr with little physical strength, but this persons strategy could not be underestimated.
While the other person was the pugilistic worlds number one viges zhuangzhu, Yu Liu Li. Yu Liu Li wore a sleeveless beige robe on the outside, hispels were casually opened wide, revealing the elegant clothing inside and the colorful and lustrously bright jade pendant on his waist. Extravagance seeping with nobleness, like a refined schr, this dress made the man look as elegant as jade, bright like the moon.
I say, Liu Li, you do all these romantic things all day, isnt it boring? Jing Wu An tasted Zhen Wei pavilions fragrant tea as he said this.
Wu An, now you are wrong. Although I am romantic, I am not that kind ofscivious person. Honestly, Miss Miao Yins songs are too phenomenal, the script too phenomenal, temperament too phenomenal! Yu Liu Li speaking of the goddess in his heart couldnt helpuding.
Oh, how is it so? Jing Wu An wondered. Although this friend of his was a romantic person, he was just ying around. When has he everuded a woman before?
You guys should have heard Miss Miao Yins lyrics that have circted out. Isnt it phenomenal?
Indeed. Although I have never heard this woman sing before, just based on those lyrics alone, it is already impossible to surpass.
Wu An, you dont know. Liu Li has repeatedly wanted to see that Miss Miao Yin just once but has never seen. So it isnt because of the others beauty that hees Feng Xia Qi exined.
In this case, it seems that Miss Miao Yin is indeed a remarkable person. Not even giving the worlds number one zhuangzhu face, this woman is indeed different, Jing Wu An said with a sliver of appreciation. Women were mostly people who mbered over the dragon and followed the phoenix, but this woman was not impressed by Liu Lis identity. She was rarely seen on stage but did not mor for poprity and is able to write such exquisite lyrics. It was very rare that in this world there is actually such a woman.

Move, this seat is bought by this young master! from the more bustling than usualrge hall came an unbelievably arrogant voices reproach.
This young master, I have reserved this seat by paying a deposit. It doesnt matter how much money it is, I will not give this seat up, One mans warm but firm voice responded.
Do you know who I am? You dare contend with me? Let me tell you, today, whether you want to or not, you will give up this seat! the arrogant man grabbed the cor of the man sitting in the seat near the front.
This young master, please let go. Today, I am here for Miss Miao Yins song. Request this young master, please do not be unreasonable! the man who was treated rudely was clearly angry.
Hmph! Why dont you look at your own wretched appearance! Even you are worthy ofing to Zhen Wei Pavilion to listen to Miss Miao Yin perform? The arrogant man stretched out a fist prepared to strike.
Lan You Nian, who had just finished changing clothes and was walking onto the stage of bead curtains, frowned and looked at the uproar below the stage. The arrogant man was dressed in a first-quality ice-blue silk. On his hands were a few exaggeratedly colored, quality thumb rings. The vile smile on the corners of the mouth was very contemptuous.
Meanwhile, the man whose cor was being tightly clenched by him was dressed in clothes that showed some signs of fading. His hair was bundled up with a simple bamboo hairpin. His figure wasnt tall, even was a little on the thin side, but what was rare was that his back was like a por tree, simrly containing the strength of perseverance.
When the arrogant mans fist was only separated from that delicate mans face by a palms distance, Zhen Wei Pavilions steward promptly intercepted it. The usually even-tempered brings wealth stewards expression was cial. After all, today the master came here but there were actually people who dared to cause trouble. Isnt this making him lose face? Moreover, they couldnt stand those type of people who used their power to abuse others. Everyone in Zhen Wei Pavilion was treated equally. If you wanted to hit, wanted to fight, then youll have to get out of Zhen Wei Pavilion before even thinking about it.
This young master, please do not make trouble in Zhen Wei Pavilion! After the steward saved the delicate man, he left. After all, he is doing business. As long as it didnt harm Zhen Wei Pavilion, the steward will not bother with it.
The ignored and intercepted man was so angered that he overturned the delicate mans table. The cups and flowers on the table were scattered on the ground. The crisp cracking sound made the entire hall quiet down, while the family retainers that followed the arrogant man here were even more blusteringly arrogant beyondpare and was ready to strike at the delicate man.
Who is making a scene? the sound of beautiful spring water rose up in therge hall, the voice seeping into peoples hearts.
Only now did everyone see, in the middle of the stage, behind the bead curtains sat a female whose face couldnt be seen clearly. Everyone suddenly felt refreshed, because who else can sit there except Miss Miao Yin?
On the second floor, Feng Yi Xuan who showed no signs of movement previously suddenly scrutinized the faint silhouette in the middle of the stage. For some reason, he felt that voice was very familiar. The figure made him couldnt help but want to get closer.
Disturbing Miss Miao Yins peace and quiet is this pupils fault, hope the youngdy will be magnanimous and forgiving, the delicate man gave a greeting. Towards his goddesss questioning, he was clearly cautious.
When the arrogant young master who was originally prepared to make a big scene heard such an intoxicating voice, he started to imagine what kind of woman was within the bead curtain. This was the first time he heard the voice of the legendary Miss Miao Yin. Sure enough, it made people feel drunk. His usual arrogance has be a habit, so now, he looked down on the female performing on stage, You are the legendary Miss Miao Yin?
When the words came out, everyone in the hall glowered at the arrogant male with poor faces. While on the second floor, Yu Liu Li, who saw there was actually someone who treated his own goddess with such disrespect, became so infuriated he wanted to strike him. Even the delicate mans face hardened.
It is. Dont know what young master wants? the sound from within the bead curtains did not carry even a half-trace of dissatisfaction. The voice was still melodious.
I am willing to spend twice the price to sit in the front seat. Make this man move! The tone of themand was a bit arrogant. The arrogant man even held his head high.
Is this young master willing to give up the seat? This seat is yours. The right to decide is yours, the voice behind the bead curtains still did not undte, even if the arrogant man is so arrogant, it still was ignored.
This pupil is not willing, the delicate man did not expect Miss Miao Yin would ask his opinion. Suddenly there was a feeling of being valued.
I am willing to triple, no, quadruple the money! the arrogant man leered at the figure in the bead curtain and thought his rich image would definitely make Miss Miao Yin see him highly.
The money needed for one seat in Zhen Wei Pavilion isnt low, where does this moneye from? The voice behind the bead curtain was inexplicably filled with a smile, making everyone in the hall unable to guess Miss Miao Yins intentions.
Obviously it is from my manor. I am the familys legitimate son! The arrogant man seemed to value his identity very much as if he feared that others will not know him.
Then this young master? The one inside the bead curtain asked the delicate man.
I-I-I work hard to earn it, the delicate man with a bit of bashful embarrassment when he talked about his source of ie.
The arrogant man was prepared tough at the poverty of the delicate man, but he wasnt able to open his mouth before the voice within the bead curtain said, Relying on your own efforts to earn money is the most respectable. Young masters money is obtained by his own pair of hands, much better than those who are loafers!
Once Lan You Nians words fell, the hall was even quieter. The delicate man was stunned and stared at the woman who only the silhouette can be seen from behind the bead curtain. Because of his familys poverty, no matter what he did, he would beughed at and bullied. He didnt believe in fate so continuously worked hard, but everyone looked down on him. But now, his own goddess has affirmed him, affirmed he was much nobler than those young masters who squandered their family wealth.
Everyone in the hall looked at Miss Miao Yin who was behind the bead curtains with starry eyes. They met women, all of whom resented poverty and loved riches. But their goddess Miss Miao Yin had this worlds most high-quality character. No amount of gold or silver can move her.
Excellent! Most assuredly is deserving of being Miss Miao Yin. This kind of thinking, how many people in the capital have? Doesnt look down on the poor, doesnt please the official familys rich son, so rare! Jing Wu Ans eyes shed brightly at the hall downstairs. He didnt expect that being dragged here by his good friend, that he could actually meet such a woman. He didnte in vain after all.
Werent you just saying I was a romantic? Such a woman cant bepared to those kinds of women who only look at ones appearance. Miss Miao Yin is the goddess of my heart! Yu Liu Li looked at that vague figure with worship. Where did he still have the worlds number one zhuangzhus image?
I dont me Liu Li for appreciating this kind of female. I also appreciate such a woman very much. If one can be a confidant with such a woman, it certainly would be a great blessing in life! Feng Xia Qi sighed emotionally.
In the room, the only person who didnt speak was Feng Yi Xuan who kept staring at the figure. How is this voice so simr to Nian Nians. Or is Miss Miao Yin Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuan wondered.
While at this time, the arrogant young master in the hall, seeing the contemptuous eyes of everyone else and the words that were being discussed from time to time, it made the arrogant man C who had never been so humiliated in his life C it made him take out all his anger on Miss Miao Yin. He itched to kill that woman behind the bead curtain on the spot to vent his hatred.
Just a face that doesnt dare to show slu.... the arrogant man said as he rushed up the stage, ready to rip open the bead curtain in order to drag out that woman who made him lose face. But his words werent even finished yet, a teacup was thrown into his mouth. Instantly two of the front teeth were knocked out, while the hand that was prepared to lift the bead curtain was also broken by a peanut that flew out of nowhere.
Lan You Nian was actually prepared to make a move herself, but she didnt expect that someone would help her. Her eyesnded on the second-floor box. The people who can enter the second floor of Zhen Wei Pavilion if is not rich then is noble. Seems like she encountered some good people today.
In the box, Yu Liu Li retracted the hand that threw the teacup, This thing actually insulted my goddess, really deserves to die, but Feng Yi Xuan, why did you interfere ah! Maybe I could have seen the real face of my goddess today?
Feng Yi Xuan threw him a cold nce. Yu Liu Li was more well-behaved than anyone. It really is that this friend of his was too terrifying. He had better be careful.
Drag him out. This person is not allowed to enter Zhen Wei Pavilion in the future! The voice in the bead curtains was still melodious but carried some coldness. The steward diligently and promptly dragged the person out. Even while he was dragging added a few kicks, then threw this person and his family retainers out of Zhen Wei Pavilions doors.
Zhen Wei Pavilions staff did things neatly and tidily. Within moments, they have tidied up the hall and rearranged that delicate young masters seat. Without that kind of persons disturbance, at this moment, everyone looked forward to the show as they watched the woman in the bead curtain, afraid to miss that moving voice.
Todays song is called Boundless The crisp voice didnt say much, only said the name of the song then the sound of the zither rose out of the bead curtain.
I was born with talent to be used, do not look down on a youths poverty.
Even if I fail, I will still present myself as a hero, not afraid of societyughing at me or calling me crazy.
A good man doesnt mention the valiance of the past, only wants to ask if you understand.
Love and hate, pretend to be calm, who truly can be rxed.
All the things in the world are empty, as such, appearances are meaningless. The eyes are filled with makeup and red flowers.
Drunk within the flowers,ughing with heartache. Who wille and hug me with deep affection?
For you, my heart moves, for you, I sing. One resounding song tells all about sincere love.
Coming with a tumultuous surge, when they leave, I finally understand. Life is but a good dream. Life is but a good dream.
I was born with talent to be used, do not look down on a youths poverty.

Coming with a tumultuous surge, when they leave, I finally understand. Life is but a good dream. Life is but a good dream.
The sound of the singing in the bead curtains wasnt very loud, but once it entered the ears, it had an unspeakably wonderful feeling. The internal organs seemed to be smoothed out. There was no ce that didnt fit perfectly. Every pore was like having eaten a ginseng fruit. There was not a pore that was not refreshed. Later, gradually singing higher and higher, suddenly pulled a sharp note, like a string of steel wire thrown into the air, could not help but silently call peerless. What was even more amazing was that the artistic conception of this song was probably just the thing that happened, such a song, perhaps, only heard to be from the Heavens.
It seemed that after a long time, people finally recovered from their daze, then the whole Zhen Wei Pavilion exploded with thunderous apuse. While the delicate man sitting in the front seat had tears in his eyes as he looked at the woman in the bead curtain. He only felt that his future was full of direction! When he bes an official in the future, he will never forget the woman who gave him direction and courage, and the song she sang for him became the beautiful dream of his life.

The mood of the four people in the box was like a pot of boiling water that just boiled, so excited that is was going to overflow.
Feng Yi Xuan listened to the voice of the woman behind the bead curtain, already confirming that this was indeed Nian Nian. His heart couldnt be peaceful. It was beating in there, trembling for this stunningly talented girl. Thinking that such a dazzling girl was his own Nian Nian, he became so excited he could hardly control himself.
While the other three people in the box, their mood was like the calm surface of ake excited with small waves; their mood was like a wave in jubtion.
What a good I was born with talent to be used, do not look down on a youths poverty. Excellent! Excellent! The always strategizing military advisor, Jing Wu An, after listening to this song, also felt great admiration.
Life is but a good dream, haha, this Miss Miao Yin is much more liberal than those people in the world. This kind of breadth of mind, even in a man it is difficult to see! Feng Xiao Qi drank arge mouthful of tea. He seemed to be calming down his own excited emotions.
As expected, she is worthy of being my goddess ah! Yu Liu Li undting chest was full of exultation, then looked at the three other friends and said, Hmph, dont know who said who wasnt willing toe. Dont know who was it that said I only linger on a womans charms. Now you know!
Liu Li ah, you finally have good taste for once. Theres progress! Jing Wu An joked. He originally thought the woman Liu Li valued only had some talent, but now, only just heard one song, he knew this woman was different from other people. Dont know if one was able to get acquainted with such a woman, what surprises would it bring?
At this time, the three people didnt notice Feng Yi Xuan, who usually would not spare anything a nce, wearing an expression of pride and doting.
Finished singing one song, Lan You Nian retired from the stage within the bursts of apuse. Although everyone in the hall shouted Miao Yin! Miao Yin! Miao Yin!, but the woman behind the bead curtain didnt linger on the ascendancy of the myriad of stars surrounding the moon. Simr to the quiet appearance, she left without a word, leaving everyones unfinished recollection of the music just moments ago.
Meanwhile, the delicate man below the stage also expressed an excitement he never felt before, so excited that he doesnt know what words to use to express his inner excitement, only Miao Yin! Miao Yin! followed everyone shouting, tears in his eyes that refused to fall. Perhaps, this is an expression!
Although people all came for Miss Miao Yin, it has to be said that Zhen Wei Pavilions dishes and wine also made ones mouth water. After the ears have finished their enjoyment, everyone started the enjoyment of their taste buds. And every time Miss Miao Yin came on stage, Zhen Wei Pavilions will always introduce a delicious pastry which usually didnt appear in Zhen Wei Pavilion.
The delicate man only ordered the cheapest side dishes to eat. Although he felt that he should leave after listening to Miss Miao Yins song, since he came, he felt that he should taste the things here, even if he only tried the cheapest.
Server, I didnt order this the delicate man looked at the expensive dishes and wine on his table and couldnt help feeling a little awkward.
Young master, this is what Miss Miao Yin requests the young master to taste to thank young master for your appreciation! The server repeated the stewards words to the delicate man.
The delicate man was prepared to refuse, but the server continued to say, Miss Miao Yin doesnt have the intention of underestimating. Young master please dont think too much. Try our Zhen Wei Pavilions delicacy. It is also one of lifes beautiful things!
After the delicate man finished listening, heughed and no longer demurred. Originally, he wanted to say no gains without pains but didnt expect Miss Miao Yin was actually so reasonable and fair and told him that although she invited him to eat but did not have the meaning of looking down on him.
I have troubled the server, give thanks to Miss Miao Yin After the delicate man finished thanking, he tasted the delicacies of Zhen Wei Pavilion. Sure enough, it one of lifes beautiful things. Meanwhile the people around him were a bit envious of the delicate man. After all, someone who can make Miss Miao Yin so caring towards, who wouldnt envy?
Little junior sister, your song today is really good! Once Lan You Nian returned to the third-floor room, Gui San proudly came over to tter her.
Third brother, when have you started to say these pleasant words? Lan You Nian opened a cupboard in the room and took out some of the things inside.
-This is what the modern jelly snacks look like
Ah, little junior sister, is this that jelly dessert thing youre making? Gui Sans eyes shined. Ever since he ate the jelly dessert little junior sister made once, it still wasnt enough ah. But little junior sister, although she had good craftsmanship, waszy. Usually she wouldnt go do these at all, perhaps he was lucky enough to eat something nice today?
No, its made for the guests on the second floor, Lan You Nian shattered Gui Sans beautiful fantasy.
What? It isnt for your third brother? You cant be partial. Although those people did help you before, if it wasnt them, third brother will certainly protect little junior sister. Little junior sister is not allowed to be partial! Gui San said dissatisfied.
Lan You Nian ignored Gui Sans ranting. By herself, she made the jelly desserts seriously. No matter what reason the people on the second floor helped her, she would still express herself. It wasnt that she was kind, but through these to inquire about those people, if they had any intentions towards Zhen Wei Pavilion, have any intentions towards Miao Yin. Perhaps they had some intentions towards the Wu Qing gongzi in the shadows. If there wasnt any, that was best, but if there is, trying to achieve their purpose by saving her, she can be prepared.
After a long time, Lan You Nian finished making some delicious and good-looking jelly desserts. Gui San hurriedly moved closer. Even the fan that usually didnt leave him was thrown aside.
Lan You Nian picked up a strawberry-vored jelly and handed it to Gui San Here, your favorite strawberry vor!
I just knew little junior sister treated third brother, I, the best! Even remembers what third brothers favorite vor is. Sure enough, have junior sister in the family, I have the world ah! Gui San sighed with deep feeling as he tasted the jelly on the te, but the mouth didnt stop bbering.
Let the stewarde in. I have something for him to do! Lan You Nian said to Lan Feng who was hidden in the shadows.
In a moment, the steward was slipped into the room by Lan Feng. Lan You Nian instructed him then let him leave.
(Knock knock) The knocking on the door sounded, letting the four people who finished using their meal stop chatting.
Come in! Feng Yi Xuan said. He could hear that the one knocking outside was An Yi.
Master, Zhen Wei Pavilions steward requests an audience! An Yi said. ording to masters usual attitude, without exception, they were all refused, but it was better to report.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt say anything yet, Yu Liu Li was already excited, Quick,e in! I heard the steward is very familiar with Miss Miao Yin!
Let hime in! Feng Yi Xuan ordered. If Miss Miao Yin was Nian Nian, then seeing was fine.
The steward respectfully walked into the box and gave a bow. He didnt look more nor did he look surprised, Miss Miao Yin wants this lowly one toe thank each young master for your help and specially made some pastry for the young masters. Hope the young masters do not disdain.
After the steward finished speaking, he presented that te of exquisite and lovely jellies, transparent colors that looked to be very appetizing. These people were from the upper ss, but have never seen this, inevitably felt it was uniquely strange. When Feng Yi Xuan heard these were made by Nian Nian, he instantly had an impulse to snatch it up.
Miss Miao Yin actually made these by her own hand? What is this? I havent seen it before, Yu Liu Li looked at the pastries that made people drool and asked.
Replying to young master, Miss Miao Yin says it is jelly. It is Miss Miao Yins original creation. It can be tasted after the meal, After the steward finished introducing, he was ready to leave. After all, the matter master gave to him has beenpleted.
After An Yi checked and found there was no poison, the several people began to enjoy it. Putting the jelly in the mouth, that trembling and crystal-clear feeling, really was too wonderful. Five colors have five different vors, sour, sweet, cool, bitter. Everyyer was different, making people feel they couldnt get enough.
The several people were all of the upper ss, but at the moment they ate with some impatience. When Yu Liu Li was prepared to eat the seventh one, they found that Feng Yi Xuan had carried off with the remaining jellies left on the te, making the three people who saw this itch in their hearts.
Feng Yi Xuan, dont go too far! Are you that kind of glutinous person? Dont waste it. Quick, give it to me! Yu Liu Li channeled his energy, ready to snatch it.
Yea, sixth younger brother, the cooks in your manor, even the royal pce cannot match. Dont fight with your royal brother over it! Right now, Feng Xia Qi decisively stood on Yu Liu Lis side.
Wangye, if the jelly is eaten too much, it isnt good. Wangye cant overeat! Even Jing Wu An started to think of a way to fight for it. Honestly, it was too delicious, the novel jelly was too delicious. Any masks were all left behind.
But what answered the three of them was, Feng Yi Xuan, from the window, channeled his qinggong and left. Who let his qinggong be the best?
On the road, Feng Yi Xuan nced down at the pastries in his hands. Remembering those were made by Nian Nian, dont know why but he just couldnt bear to eat them. He thought of those three people actually ate so many and felt very ufortable in his heart. A certain Ming wang just like this, carrying pastries, flew back to the wangfu. It scared the shadow guards into shuddering.

Back at You Nian Pavilion, Lan Wu and Lan Qu were thoroughly bored as they waited for their own familys young miss. They were very dissatisfied with the fact that young miss went out to y without taking them.
Young miss, youre back? Lan Qu saw her young miss fly in from the window and hurriedly went forward to make tea for young miss.
En, no one came to look for trouble! Although Lan You Nian was very confident about Lan Wu and Lan Qu, An yiniang was not a contented person. She definitely will find a way to find trouble with her. She can y with her without any hurry. Its simply that there is no inte, no technology here. Since there is a free live clown show, how is it not a fun thing? Just pretend it is a live clown show. If An yiniang knew that everything in Lan You Nians eyes was nothing but a y, dont know how angered she would be.
An yiniang did note, but the old Madame in the manor had sent someone. The manner is quite arrogant, Lan Qu, without the inferiority of a servant girl, sat directly next to Lan You Nian.
Oh? Old Madame? Lan You Nians eyes shed with a dim light. Speaking of this grandmother, Lan You Nian really was not fond of. In the past, this old Madame has always disliked the predecessors mother, He Xiao Ran, for He Xiao Ran is unable to bear children, yet still monopolizes her own son. Later on, even more, didnt like Lan Mo Xian, believing that an outsider actually wanted to inherit Lan manor. Then it was not liking Lan You Nian, believing that Lan You Nian was an unlucky star. She was clearly aware of An yiniang and others insulting treatment of Lan You Nian, but only turned a blind eye to it.
Yes, it seems that this old Madame doesnt like young miss very much. She even wants young miss to go pay respects every morning (5-6am), Although Lan Qus disposition was steady, when speaking of this matter, she still couldnt help feeling indignant. How noble is her familys young miss, but still had to pay respect to that old woman who is merely looking for fault! It really is bullying to the extreme.
REPORT THIS AD
How can this Lan manor have so many human scums ah! Its better to let Lan Feng eliminate them and spare us from being bullied! In Lan Wus heart, her young miss is the best. Everyone should love and respect, but ever since she came to Lan manor, what is all this ah!
As soon as Lan Wus words fell, Lan Feng suddenly appeared in front of the others eyes. Still as frosty as before, but it was mixed with a murderous aura, Young miss, need to kill?
Lan You Nian let Lan Feng sit down and seeing the several people looking so enraged, couldnt help butugh. Not everything needs to be solved with murder. You guys are too violent. Dont look anything like women at all.
The three people couldnt help but criticize in their hearts, young miss, do you look like a woman? When you kill people, it is even crueler than them. They were so brutal, the biggest reason was that young miss you taught well ok?
Sometimes a lot of things can be yed slowly with the brain, isnt it better? Lan You Nian educated the three, If the brain cant be beaten, then just kill directly!
The three of them wore an expression of as expected, they just knew young miss wasnt a patient person. Young miss pursues that all intrigues and tricks are empty talks in the face of absolute strength and their young miss had absolute strength.
Young miss, Wang mama* is outside wanting to see young miss Outside, the guard Zhang Lin, reported. This Zhang Lin was the head of the 15 guards that Lan Jian Jun gave to her. He is also the person Lan You Nian is most satisfied with. So, she handed over the safety and other issues in You Nian Pavilion all to Zhang Lin.
Let here in! Although this kind of person Lan You Nian disdained, since she dared toe knocking at her door, she had no reason to hide.
Under Zhang Lins guide, Wang mama from the old Madames side walked into You Nian Pavilion. Wang mama, while walking, sized up the luxury everywhere You Nian Pavilion. Her eyes shed with greed.
This old ve greets third young miss, Wang mama gave perfunctory respect, obviously not putting this Lan manors legitimate daughter in her eye and was even toozy to pretend. Wang mamas eyes sagged slightly, looking listless. The corner of her eyes was covered with wrinkles, showing traces of the years. The thin face was covered with age spots, the chin was outrageously long. At first nce, it was a miserly wretch.
Regarding Wang mamas rudeness, Lan You Nian didnt care. Concerning unrted persons, as long as they didnt provoke her, she usually wont make things too difficult for others.
Dont know what Wang mama hase to You Nian Pavilion for? Lan Qu saw her own young miss didnt want to talk much, so when she asked, she also copied Wang mamas manner, very disrespectful.
Although Wang mama is not anything in the manor, however, just relying on her being the old Madames dowry maid and secure with the old Madames trust, in the manor, all the servant girls and family retainers, who didnt give her some face to curry favor. Now its good, a little girl actually dares to look down on her. As expected of a youngdy from the country, even a servant girl has no degree of seniority.
There is nothing else, only that third young miss has already returned to the manor and didnt even go pay respects to the old Madame. The servant girl that came to ask didnt even see the young miss, so the old Madame personally sent this old ve to request third young miss to go over, Wang mama said ambiguously but also told the truth of Lan You Nian not being filial. Not only did she not go pay respect to her grandmother, but even needed the grandmother to personally invite her.
How can the few people not understand the meaning within Wang mamas words? But in the hearts of the several people, their young miss was most important, the other ritual filial piety was not in their consideration. Besides, in the past, Lan manor treated young miss like this, it was good that they didnt already destroy Lan manor. And for Lan You Nian, those ridiculous reputations she didnt care for at all. Otherwise, she wouldnt deliberately let people think she is disfigured.
This youngdy doesnt feel well today so wont go to pay respects to grandmother. Otherwise, wouldnt it be bad to pass the illness to grandmother? Lan You Nians ability to tell a bare-faced lie became better and better, that appearance, where was there any difort?
The arrival of third young misss sickness is really odd, Wang mama mocked. She really disliked this third young miss. No wonder the old Madame isnt fond of her.
What is your identity? Lan Wu scolded, perfectly acting out the image of a bullying servant girl. In fact, she couldnt helpughing inside, really enjoying this feeling of mischievousness.
You... Wang mama was also stunned by Lan Wus sudden rage. After all, Lan Wu followed Lan You Nian for many years, so she naturally carried a bit of Lan You Nians aura. When she pulled a straight face, it was quite a bit frightening.
You what you! An old ve dares to be so rude in front of young miss. In front of young miss, do you have a right to speak? Hmph! Lan Wu incessantly lectured Wang mama, that valiant appearance gave Zhang Lin a shock. He really didnt expect frail young misss servant girl to be so terrifying.
So noisy! Lan You Nian has watched enough of this y. In one sentence, she directly appeased Lan Wu who instantly returned to the image of a highly cultured servant girl steeped in propriety, but clearly, no one, at the moment, was convinced.
Lan Feng looked at young miss who seemed to be very disgusted with Wang mama who couldnt see the situation clearly. She swiftly came to Wang mamas side and with one hand, threw Wang mama out of You Nian pavilion. Zhang Lin, however, was taken aback. After all, Lan Fengs speed was too fast, and her skills were much better than his own. Zhang Lin looked at the young miss withplexity. He always felt that this young miss was not simple but didnt expect that even the servant girls around her to be so formidable. Thinking of this, Zhang Lin was more respectful of Lan You Nian.
Guard Zhang, since you have entered You Nian pavilion, then you are one of You Nian Pavilions own. What should be said, what should be seen, you should understand, Lan You Nian looked at Zhang Lin and said, You guys are You Nian Pavilions people. This youngdy will not treat you unfairly nor will I let you suffer any grievances. There is only one thing, that is no betrayal is allowed. Can you understand?
The tone was clearly gentle and soft, but there was a pressure oppressing Zhang Lin, causing Zhang Lins ck face to be covered with cold sweat. Zhang Lin knelt down in front of Lan You Nian, Since Zhang Lin recognized the young miss as master, then there will never be any betrayal. Zhang Lin is only young misss guard.
One sentencemunicated Zhang Lins attitude. He said that in the future he will not be Lan Jian Juns subordinate. Instead, he is Lan You Nians guard and will not betray her.
Originally Lan You Nian was very satisfied with Zhang Lin. Now, it seems that she did not misjudge him. Loyal and clever guards were indeed very good. Lan You Nian will also use with a lot more reassurance.
Very good, go on, no one from You Nian Pavilion is allowed to be bullied. No matter what happens, this youngdy will bear it for you! Lan You Nians words gave Zhang Lin a certain authority, otherwise, if An yiniang came to look for trouble, if just blindly tolerating, then that was not Lan You Nians style.
Having such a protective master, Zhang Lin will do his utmost to tend to You Nian Pavilions matters in the future.

I would like to see how much face this Lan manors third young miss have to let this old woman go personally invite! Outside You Nian Pavilion, an elderly person clutched a cane as she hollered at the guards blocking her, Move! In this Lan manor, is there a ce this old woman cant enter!
Old Madame, without young misss orders, no one can enter You Nian Pavilion! Zhang Lin did his best to stop the old Madame. In the first ce, he was born from the military camp, so he really hated these small household affairs of the residence. He especially hated this old Madames meanness. He really felt that young miss lived really difficult days.
Cannot enter! This unlucky star really has grown courage. She even dares to treat this old woman like this. I really should drive her out of Lan manor! The old Madame trembled with rage. Yesterday, she heard Lan You Nian has returned, so she thought that this granddaughter wille to ask regards of her but didnt expect that until this morning she didnte. When she sent someone to invite her, she didnt even get to see anyone. What made the old Madame even angrier was, when she sent her own trusted Wang mama to invite, Wang mama was actually beaten. This Lan You Nian was really rebellious.
Old Madame, you shouldnt be angry. Third young miss is probably throwing a temper tantrum. Yesterday, she even chided this concubine, An yiniang, on one hand, was smoothing the old Madames anger, while adding fuel to the fire.
Mutiny, mutiny! This unlucky star dares to be so disrespectful of filial piety. Someonee, smash this You Nian Pavilion for me! The old Madame shouted at the family retainers who followed her over. She has never been so angry for so many years.
Howe grandmother is so angry? A soft voice rang from within the You Nian Pavilion. Lan You Nian appeared at the entrance of You Nian Pavilion and looked at the old Madame. A brown dress covered with embroidered patterns, a golden bead hairpin on her head, the hair was already half snowy white, but that pair of eyes were sharp and contained meanness. The eyes that regarded at Lan You Nian were severely dissatisfied. Her hands held a brown-red cane while An yiniang personally supported her.
The old Madame looked at Lan You Nian dressed in a white ruqun nked by two servant girlse in front of her, elegantly curtsied, but the smile in her eyes seemed to be ridiculing her for not being able to enter a granddaughters courtyard in the manor. Her gaze on Lan You Nian became even more full of ill-intent.
This old woman cant afford third young misss call of grandmother. This old woman does not have such a disrespectful granddaughter! The old Madame said, her nose pointed skyward.
Then why is old Madame ready to smash You Nian Pavilion? Lan You Nian was very much aware as she changed grandmother to old Madame andpletely disregarded the old Madames absolutely ugly face.
A tiny You Nian Pavilion even this old woman is forbidden from entering, downright outrageous! Someonee, smash everything! Old Madame just thinking of this matter was angry. Two granddaughters and the one grandson when they usually saw her, none of them were not respectful. But this granddaughter she liked the least dared to put on airs with her.
Lan You Nian did not speak. The old Madame thought she was scared. But when the family retainers were prepared to barge into You Nian Pavilion, they were still stopped by the guards. Whats more, some were even thrown far away. For a while, those family retainers did not dare to go forward again. After all, those guards have already pulled out gleaming des.
Mutiny, mutiny! the old Madame did not expect that she had lost such a big face, the sound of the cane hitting the ground was ceaseless.
Third young miss, why arent you kneeling down for the old Madame! An yiniang saw how the old Madame was so disgusted by Lan You Nian, her heart was unspeakably smug, hurriedly took advantage to teach Lan You Nian a lesson. If Lan You Nian knelt down, in the future, will anyone in Lan manor put this third young miss in their eye?
Lan You Nians eyes were smiling as she listened to the footsteps that were slowly approaching in the distance. As she looked at An yiniang who still doesnt know when to restrain herself, she felt that this drama was bing more and more entertaining.
Someonee, make third young miss kneel down! An yiniangs slightly excited voice rose. It seemed that she could already see the image of Lan You Nian kneeling down in front of her.
An yiniang really has a great imposing manner to actually bully Nianer meimei like this. Really good! An abrupt voice rose. Everyone looked at Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian who were standing in the distance. Only Lan You Nians eyes shed. The moment she heard the footsteps, she knew that Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian have arrived, so she was toozy to fight with An yiniang.
An yiniangs eyes shed with panic. She honestly never expected Lan Jian Jun to hear her words. Now, the image of a gentle mother she established in Lan Jian Juns heart would be defeated.
When the old Madame saw her own son arrive, it was as if seeing her own backing however when she saw Lan Mo Xian following beside Lan Jian Jun, she glowered ruthlessly at Lan Mo Xian. But Lan Mo Xian was no longer the child from many years ago. He used to watch the old Madame never stop criticizing his mother, but he could only watch. But now, he is already grown up and can protect his little sister.
Master! An yiniang came in front Lan Jian Jun and gave a curtsy and was prepared to exin.
Your courage is getting bigger. Deduct three months monthly allowance. In the future, if you give Nianer a hard time, dont me me for being ruthless! Lan Mo Xian didnt even listen to An yiniangs exnation. Just listening to An yiniangs words, he was angered. The daughter he wanted to pamper was once again being bullied. Hes afraid, in the future, Nianer will resent this father even more.
How did Mothere to Nianers ce? After reprimanding An yiniang, Lan Jian Jun then said to the old Madame. This old Madame was not Lan Jian Juns biological mother. Lan Jian Juns biological mother died early. At that time, the old Madame was promoted to ping wife and conveniently raised Lan Jian Jun as her own. Although the old Madame had children before, in the dirty ce of the backyard, she wasnt able to keep it. Although it cant be said that the mother and child were very good but there are some mother and child sentiment, so towards this mother, Lan Jian Jun was still very respectful.
Hmph! This third daughter of yours is really excellent. Even this old woman cant enter this courtyard. She also hurt this old womans Wang mama, the old Madame sneered as she spoke of the incident, ming Lan You Nian throughout.
Lan Jian Jun nced at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian thought ording to Lan Jian Juns temper, he would surely punish or me her, but didnt expect Lan Jin Juns expression when looking at her was without any bit of me. Instead, it was more like a fathers pardon towards a daughters yfulness. Lan You Nians eyes shed and withdrew her gaze.
Enough, Mother doesnt know, this is your sons order for allowing these guards to only listen to Nianers orders and not allow others to enter You Nian Pavilion without permission, Lan Jian Jun supported the old Madame, Mother also knows what happened to Nianer when she was a child. Son doesnt want to let things happen again. It is this son who didnt think and take everything into consideration.
Lan Jian Jun took all the things on himself. After all, it was his order. This couldnt be med on Lan You Nian. But people with discerning eyes could hear Lan Jian Juns tolerance for Lan You Nian.
Dont you always excuse her! There is no filial piety. From yesterday sinceing back, she didnte to give regards. As expected froming from the country, there are no manners at all! When Old Madame saw how her own son covers up for Lan You Nian, she looked at Lan You Nian more unkindly. Although it cannot be said how good this son of hers was to her, this mother, but it was not bad, except for that year because of He Xiao Rans matter, he made a scene with her. But now, again for that womans daughter, he once again opposes her.
Mother has truly mistakenly med Nianer. Nianers body isnt in good health. Son has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for many years, so inevitably a little condoling and let Nianer stay in the courtyard to recuperate. Sure enough, son is merely just a military officer and does not think about everything. Hope that Mother does not me! Lan Jian Jun said what seems to be all fact. His eyes seemed like that because he was not well advised so he felt guilty. The old Madame though skeptical cant me this son, and after reprimanding Lan You Nian some more, she was supported by Lan Jian Jun to go back to her own courtyard.
Lan You Nian looked at Lan Jian Jun helping the old Madame to leave, her eyes shed withplexity. Towards the defense of Lan Jian Jun, she saw with her eyes. Although she was not touched, it still left a few traces in her heart. Lan You Nian couldnt help feeling if it was the Lan You Nian from before who knew how happy she would be. Although she couldnt approve of the previous Lan You Nians feebleness, she also envied her innocence. Because even at a young age, she had never been naive. The only naivety towards her loved ones was smothered.
Has little sister been wronged? If next time there are still peopleing to look for trouble, let the guards directly beat up. Older brother will take responsibility, Lan Mo Xian led Lan You Nian back to You Nian Pavilion and said to his little sister.
Zhang Lin, who followed behind, couldnt help but smile when hearing this. This smile was seen by Lan Mo Xian, Zhang Lin, what are you smiling at?
Oldest young master, it really is that oldest young masters words are the same as what the young miss told this subordinate, Zhang Lin replied. The young master and young miss deserved to be called brother and sister, this posture of protecting their own were the same.
Of course, we are brother and sister! Lan Mo Xian, hearing Zhang Lins words, couldnt help but feel a little happy inside. This made Lan Mo Xian feel that he and Nianer meimei were getting closer.
However, Nianer meimei must remember, in this manor, no can bully you, When Lan Mo Xian heard An yiniangs arrogance from moments before, his heart was really ufortable.
Oh? Anyone? Lan You Nian asked deliberately.
Of course, anyone! Lan Mo Xian thumped his chest promising.
What if it is the old Madame?
She doesnt like you and me in the first ce. Dont worry, older brother will take responsibility for it but dont beat anyone to death. Lan Mo Xian didnt have any feeling of being an unfilial descendent. But it was this that made Lan You Nian feel warm, but it made Zhang Lin feel when did the young master be so violent?
What if it is General Lan? Lan You Nian asked redundantly, now only teasing this warm brother of hers.
Father wont. If father really is so muddled, older brother will also stand on your side, Lan Mo Xian did not hesitate.

Its really the familys misfortune ah! the old Madame sat on the soft couch in the wing-room, appearing very deeply grieved.
An yiniang waited on the side, serving the old Madame very well, holding tea, sending water, and even constion. Seeing this, the old Madame felt more and more that Lan You Nian and her mother were so insensible and was even dissatisfied with her son. There was such a good woman serving at his side, even has several well-behaved children, how is it that he cares about that outsider Lan Mo Xian and the unlucky star Lan You Nian?
Old Madame doesnt need to be angry. If you anger yourself into harming your body, it wouldnt be worth it. Right now third young miss is very favored by the master, she really is a little ignorant. An yiniang sat beside the old Madame appeasing her, but whether it was sincere or not was unknown.
Hearing An yiniangs appeasement, the old Madame was even more angry, Hmph! Relying on my sons love, she dares to be so disrespectful? Can that be called being ignorant?
Wang mama received An yiniangs look and knelt before the old Madame, Old Madame really must manage this house ah! Third young miss actually dares to punish this old ve in Lan manor, even dares to not even allow old Madame into the courtyard, where does she put the old Madame in her eye? If this continues, what will outsiders say about Lan manors rules ah! Wang mamas bruised old face was full of tears and snot, looking quite a bit miserable.
Hmph! My Lan manor does not have such a young miss! If she dares to be so rude again, let her get out of Lan manor! The old Madame pulled up Wang mama, looking at her personal servant girl Wang mamas miserableness, more or less bears a grudge against Lan You Nian.
When An yiniang heard the old Madames words, her eyes shed with smugness. The biggest one in the manor was still the old Madame. As long as the old Madame is on her side, then in the future, Lan You Nians days will not be good. She will not allow Lan You Nian to live monopolizing the status of legitimate daughter.
Old Madame, Yiner has been studying very well in the academic hall recently. In the morning, I even heard Yiner say he will study hard and grow face for old Madame! When An yiniang spoke of her son, there was a rare motherly look on her face. It was really hard to imagine that a woman who had this kind of maternal love was so vicious.
Oh? Yiner has be so impressive? Not bad, not bad. He certainly is worthy of being my Lan manors progeny, When the old madam heard that her grandson was so intelligent and sensible, her heart inevitably filled with a bit of pride. Since Yiner is so capable and hes old enough, when there is time, let him follow his father to learn something, so it is easier to inherit Lan manor in the future.
An yiniang quickly got up and gave a curtsy, Thank you old Madame!. She always hoped that Yiner will follow the master to work together, but masters side only has Lan Mo Xian this outsider. But what made people angry is, Lan Mo Xian not only monopolizes the identity of the legitimate son but now he has the authority of General Che Qi. Coupled with masters training, if her own son still didnt find a way to fight, then in the future, Lan manor will really fall into Lan Mo Xians hands.
Hmph! You are simply too kind. This Lan manor should belong to my grandson. Could it be that it will be given to an outsider! The old Madame was very satisfied with this daughter-inw who has been serving by her side for so many years. My son is really muddled. How could he be misled by that Lan Mo Xian, even to be so considerate of an outsider!
What old Madame says is true. From what I see, this elder young master is also ignorant. Even when he came back for so long like third young miss, he didnte to give regards to old Madame. Sure enough, after having a little power, he puts on airs with the old Madame you. Wang mama took the opportunity to start insinuating in front of the old Madame.
Speaking of these two siblings, they really have grown ability. Neither of them take this old woman seriously, The old Madames rage that was just appeased again rushed up and over the top of her head, Wang mama, give orders to the kitchen to change that wretched girls meals to in congee. Didnt she say she is in poor health? I have to see how bad the body is!
The old Madame actually treated Lan You Nian like this partly because of Lan Mo Xian. After all, right now if the old Madame wanted to deal with Lan Mo Xian, there will be some difficulties. But doesnt Lan Mo Xian love this younger sister? So, the old Madame will make an example of Lan You Nian.
Yes! Wang mama bowed her head and answered. Most of the things in this residence were managed by An yiniang, but the old Madame still had absolute authority. Moreover, the old Madame was the mother of Lan Jian Jun. Who would dare disobey the old Madame? Probably, there was only Lan You Nian who had this courage!
Night came quietly. Lan Qu took the meal from the hands of the servant girl delivering the food. But when Lan Qu opened the box with the food, her face started to change. They used to cook for themselves but because they only just started to live in You Nian Pavilion, the small kitchen wasnt finished yet. Now, they just made do with the food from the big kitchen. But they didnt expect some certain people actually dared act so ignorant.
The food served was just two dishes of small green vegetables, a bowl of simple congee that was so diluted that the rice grains couldnt be seen. How is this something given to the manors young miss to eat? Even the manors lowest servant has much better meals than this.
This is going too far! Im going to castrate those people! Lan Wu took up her weapon and was prepared to go out of You Nian Pavilion.
Stop! Lan You Nian didnt seem to see the lousy food, simply directly sat down, Those people are probably women, how are you going to castrate them?
Zhang Lin and the several guards were still feeling that their young miss was treated unfairly, but after hearing what young miss said, they didnt know whether tough or cry. Is this something a youngdy can say out loud? However, such an unmannered young miss was more likable.
Young miss! Lan Wu threw down her long sword and came to Lan You Nians side and tugged on Lan you Nians arm. When did your temper be so good? Others already bully onto our heads!
Lan Wu, young miss isnt angry, so how can you be so impulsive. If you make any kind of trouble for young miss, I will not spare you! Lan Qus index finger tapped Lan Wus forehead. Concerning this good sisters impulsive character, she didnt know what to do about it.
I didnt go ok!? Why are you so fierce! Lan Wu pouted.
Fine, I havent scolded you! Lan Qu was amused as she looked at the deted Lan Wu. Then looking at the foot on the table, she asked, Young miss, I will go to Zhen Wei Pavilion to get some food!
No need, you and Lan Wu go to Zhen Wei Pavilion to eat. I can just eat these! Lan You Nian said and started eating. There was no sign of dissatisfaction from the simple and crude food.
How can this be alright? Lan Qu refuted. What the young miss usually ate, which isnt a delicacy? Now, how can young miss swallow these stuff?
What has your familys young miss not eaten before? And, dont think that all kinds of delicacies are good. Sometimes eating simple vegetarian food is good for the body, Lan You Nian exined. She was afraid that if she didnt exin it clearly, who knew how much these two girls would worry.
Towards the young misss logic, Lan Qu and Lan Qu were persuaded. They knew that the young miss practiced medicine, moreover, being one from the Medical Valley, they were even more convinced. Todays food had only one persons portion. Since the young miss gave orders, they left through the back door to go out to eat. Not to mention that they arent just going out to eat, but more importantly, go do things for the young miss. After all, Lan You Nian is often in Lan manor. There were many properties in the capital that required the two to run errands.

Clearly, served on the table were in congee and vegetable dishes that even servant girls disdained. It was so garish that it made people angry. But at this time, in the boudoir, Lan You Nian sat alone at the table, thoroughly pleased as if tasting exotic delicacies fromnd and sea. It was a more refined eating appearance than even a royal princess. It made the people looking at her eat feel it is also a pleasure.

But at this time, in the boudoir, Lan You Nian sat alone at the table, thoroughly pleased as if tasting exotic delicacies fromnd and sea. It was a more refined eating appearance than even a royal princess. It made the people looking at her eat feel it is also a pleasure.
When the in white hands were holding a spoon was prepared to continue to drink the congee, there was a pair of slender and wide hands coated with callouses that grasped Lan You Nians little hand. Lan You Nian was stupefied. She sensed the arrival of the other person and knew who it was, so did not pay any attention, but didnt expect this man to be so impudent.
Feng Yi Xuan felt the little hand within his palm. This little hand was so small it was pitiful. It wasnt even half the size of his own palm. It was so white it was nearly transparent and so cold it was terrifying. It was clearly the warm weather of summer. Why is this little hand so cold it made his heart ache? But before Feng Yi Xuan could warm up this little hand, that little hand has already been withdrawn.
Lan You Nian watched the man in front of her holding her little hand. His eyes shing with heart-ache. Moreover, he still had yet to let go. In a fit of anger, she snatched her hand back forcefully.
Lan manor just gives you this to eat? Feng Yi Xuans voice that was frigid to begin with contained icicles as he looked at the table that couldnt even be called a meal and demanded.
in congee and simple dishes, its also not bad! After several confrontations, Lan You Nian was very clear that this person did not have malicious intentions towards her, nor was there any desire to kill. This persons martial arts was very high, and also a wangye. As long as he didnt cross her bottom line, she will not go offend.
You are still a child. Now is the time to grow the body. How can you eat these things! Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nians frail body, a small little one that seemed like it will shatter with one touch.
Lan You Nian did not acknowledge him. Instead, she was grateful she didnt take off her veil. It seems that she still needed to be cautious about doing stuff in the future. After all, there are many people in this world who have high martial arts. She was not a person with a very limited outlook.
Regarding Lan You Nians cold-shoulder, Feng Yi Xuan did not mind. If it were someone else, he would have killed instantly. However, towards Lan You Nian, he did not have any sense of anger.
Feng Yi Xuan sat next to Lan You Nian and didnt speak. But when Lan You Nian was ready to continue to dine, Feng Yi Xuan cut her off again. Looking at the in congee and vegetable dishes on the table, he frowned. Having been fighting in the war for so many years, he has eaten a lot of coarse foods. He has tasted foods that were a hundred times more unptable than this. But seeing Nian Nian eat these, he felt ufortable.
Lan You Nian put down the spoon in her hand and looked Feng Yi Xuan. The look in her eyes already carried some impatience. Anyone who is disturbed while eating will be unhappy.
What do you want to eat? Feng Yi Xuan collected the in congee and vegetable dishes on the table. He was clearly a high-ranking wangye but he did these without any trace of unfitness which allowed his diffidence to mix with some humanness.
Lan You Nian didntprehend. She really felt that the man beside her was very strange, but still replied, Doesnt matter as long as it can be eaten!
Feng Yi Xuans first reaction after hearing this was that the girl before his eyes was too easy to provide for. From now on, he must bring her up to be pickier. Otherwise, if she was always this easy to care for, then it would be easy to be taken advantage of. He stood up and came to the window. An Yi immediately appeared in front of Feng Yi Xuan.
Master, An Yi bowed his head but his eyes wanted to look inside the room.
Go to the manor and let people make something delicious. Be speedy! Unlike the voice that just talked to Lan You Nian, the voice now contained obvious impatience and urgency.
An Yi was in contempt of masters two-faced character. It seems master is someone who puts beauty first. However, the rumors say Miss Lan has been disfigured. Yet, master could still care for her. It seems that thedy of the manor in the future is set on Miss Lan.
An Yi used the fastest speed to rush to Ming wangfu. Even the usual catching of the enemy didnt require such a fast speed, but from then after, An Yi often used the extreme speed of qinggong. They were all because of Miss Lans matters. What made An Yi vomit blood was that those were all trivial things ah!
Lan You Nian heard Feng Yi Xuans instructions. She did not expect that this man would actually get some food for her. His thoughts were really unpredictable.
Feng Yi Xuan returned to the table, still sitting next to Lan You Nian, neither too close nor too far away. It can be described as having mastered at grasping opportunity very well. A hand took out a handkerchief from his person. Opening the handkerchief, you could see the delicate and cute desserts wrapped inside.
When Lan You Nian saw that dessert, her eyes shed. Isnt that the jelly that she made today that was given to the guests on the second floor in Zhen Wei Pavilion? How could it be in Feng Yi Xuans hands? It seems that Feng Yi Xuan may be among those who lent her a hand.
Eat some to pad the belly. Putting the handkerchief on the table, Feng Yi Xuan took out a clean pair of chopsticks and held it out to Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nians white fingers held the purple jelly. White and purple contrasted against each other. It brought out the exquisiteness of Lan You Nians fingers that were even more moving than the lovely jelly. Biting the jelly, the soft and springy mouthfeel flooded the taste buds.
Your craftsmanship is very good. This thing is very good to eat and very unique. Feng Yi Xuans sudden voice made Lan You Nian stop eating but refrained frommenting.
But this thing is probably troublesome to make. From now on, you shouldnt make it, especially dont make it for others to eat! Feng Yi Xuans spoken words carried some undetectable heart-ache, caring, and overbearing jealousy.
Lan You Nian put down the jelly in her hand. Her eyes looked straight at Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan also looked into Lan You Nians eyes. There was no dodging. Those pair of wolf-like eyes were as stubborn as a wolf. Lan You Nian couldnt see any malicious intent in those pair of eyes.
Dont know what wangye means by this. This youngdy does not understand! Lan You Nian slightly rxed her heart but was still surprised at Feng Yi Xuans observation skills. She didnt expect that she only revealed her voice, yet even so, Feng Yi Xuan still recognized her.
The food is here. You must be hungry! Feng Yi Xuan came to the window and received the box made of ck sandalwood. He returned to the table and began to put out the food. As to Lan You Nians refusal to confess, Feng Yi Xuan did not contradict. For Feng Yi Xuan, it was not important whether or not Lan You Nian admitted to it. What was important was that she cannot go hungry.
food box
Although the time wasnt long, the food was in every way all exquisite delicacies. The meat and vegetables were paired very well together. The steaming dishes exuded bursts of aroma. Although Lan You Nian knew how to make some novel eats, in term of the genuine exotic foods, Lan You Nian was not very skilled. Moreover, Lan You Nian was a very picky eater. But it was obvious that these dishes were expensive.
After finishing serving Lan You Nian rice, he even added some side dishes to her te. All these things were done so naturally, but at the same time, so inconceivable, just as if the two were an old married couple being together for a long time.
Hurry and eat! After Feng Yi Xuan finished arranging the food for Lan You Nian, he urged with a touch of gentleness.
Although she marveled at Feng Yi Xuans actions, Lan You Nian didnt think much. In fact, she felt this atmosphere was very good. If she can be friends with someone like Ming wang Feng Yi Xuan, it would be pretty good. But if Feng Yi Xuan knew what Lan You Nian was thinking, he would not be so calm. He doesnt want to be just Nian Nians friend but hopes to be her most intimate person.
Although she knew the food was good, when she tasted it, Lan You Nians eyes still brightened. If the things she made were novel, then these were the true authentic foods of the ancient times. First and foremost, Lan You Nian knew how to enjoy life. Since there is good food to eat, then it will not be wasted.
Feng Yi Xuan can see that Lan You Nian liked it a lot. His heart was also ted. He was ready to go back to reward the cooks in the manor. If the cooks in Ming wangfu knew that despite having made delicious food for so many years for wangye, they have never received a good word, but now because Lan You Nian was happy as she ate, they were being rewarded. Dont know if they will be distressed or upset.
While Lan You Nian was dining, Feng Yi Xuan made himself at home and picked up another bowl and started eating. Lan You Nian thought about it. This food all belonged to the other, it didnt seem she had any qualifications to say anything, so simply let him be.
There are no other people here. You can take off the veil. It will be more convenient for dining! When Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girl in front of him who always lifted a little bit of veil whenever she was eating, it made his heart ache for her just by looking.
In her heart, Lan You Nian rolled her eyes, thinking, if you werent here, would I still need to wear the veil?
Theres no problem. This youngdy is afraid if she uncovered the veil, Ming wang will probably not be able to swallow food! Lan You Nian seemed to be mocking. After all, her face was rumored to be like a ghost by the public.
No, it wont. You are very good! Feng Yi Xuan didnt know how tofort people, but he spoke the truth. He never paid attention to womens appearance. Whether it was beautiful or ugly, they were no different to him. Moreover, the girl in front of him, in his eyes and in his heart, she was the best and also the most beautiful.
Lan You Nians chopsticks paused and then continued to eat as if nothing happened. She didnt expect this Ming wang to be so different, not paying attention to appearance.
It seemed as if he was afraid Lan You Nian didnt believe in his own words. Just as Feng Yi Xuan anxiously prepared to exin, Lan You Nian said coolly, This youngdy is naturally very good!, the words were not self-degrading but full of self-confidence.
Feng Yi Xuan grinned and thought, how could the woman in front of him bepared to those kinds ofmonce women. Our mighty Ming wang was so delighted he ate two extra bowls of rice which caused Lan You Nian to wonder if the dignified and noble Ming wang was starved.
Chapter 45
45 Early Morning Fury
December 6, 2018
secretdreamwishes
When daybreak arrived, the food delivered by the servant girls were still the original congee and simple vegetable dishes. Even the good-tempered Lan Qu had the urge to kill people.
Zhang Lin stood in the courtyard of You Nian Pavilion listening to the negative soundsing unceasingly from Lan Wus mouth. He couldnt help feeling injustice for young miss. She clearly was Lan manors legitimate daughter, but she was neglected from an early age. Now finally the general paid attention to young miss but he didnt expect the old Madame and An yiniang to be so restless.
The fifteen people who recently became guards in You Nian Pavilion admire this young miss, who may be very young age but the ability was not small, more and more. Especially as young miss did not put on any airs with them. She will care about them and respect them. They truly regard young miss as their master. Now their master is being bullied, these guards, who are much older than Lan You Nian, all had the urge to charge out. Although the manor did not reduce their meals, food that was deducted from the master was even more uneptable.
Perhaps because she really couldnt stand Lan Wus nagging, Lan You Nian put down the tableware in her hands, Lan Wu, say what you want to do?
Kill them all! No, rape them, no, kill first then rape, no, rape first then kill! Lan Wus hands gestured various poses. Zhang Lin and the guards closer seeing this all blushed and looked at Lan Wu with a bit of fear.
Meanwhile, An Er, using qinggong to rush over, had coincidentally just heard Lan Wus words. With one stagger, he fell from the wall. Within moments, all the guards flew over, ready to subdue the enemy who broke into You Nian Pavilion. But how could the skills of Feng Yi Xuans people be weak? After several rounds, An Er separated himself from the guards encirclement.
Withdraw! When Lan You Nian realized who it was, her voice sounded.
After the guards backed away, An Er came to Lan You Nians side with a bootlicking smile. But that smile would be better if he didnt smile at all. Have you seen a woodblock smile? An Er looked at the Miss Lan in front of him who didnt seem to be moved by his smile, so he obediently put the food box in his hands on the stone table.
Miss Lan, this is instructed by master, Although An Er wanted to say a few more words to show his face more in front of Lan You Nian, that way in the future he will have a backing, but looking at Lan You Nians two servant girls nervous treatment and the valiant words he just heard, An Er knew his ce and flew away.
Although Lan Wu and Lan Qu did not know when young miss became acquainted with such a man, moreover, were baffled by the master the man spoke of, but they understood their own duty. What they should know, young miss will definitely not hide from them, so Lan Qu and Lan Wu did not ask, instead opened the food box.
When they saw the exquisite and rich breakfast, Lan Wu and Lan Qu still felt a little oppressed. After all, those who had such a cook must have an extraordinary identity. But the two only arranged the dishes without a word.
Lets eat together! Lan You Nian said. Although this morning there was the guards breakfast, there was no breakfast for Lan Wu and Lan Qu. This was not the first time the several people sat down at the same time to eat, so it was nothing they were unustomed to. Or it should be said that it has changed from the not used to in the beginning to being ustomed to it now. But Zhang Lin and the others watched with shock in their eyes. After all, the status gap was in to see but young miss can eat with servants on the same table. How many young misses of aristocratic family can do this?
Breakfast was eaten very quickly, or it should be said that Lan You Nian deliberately ate very quickly. Meanwhile, Lan Wu and Lan Qu have served their young miss for many years, theyve already gotten used to young misss habits, so they knew that young miss had something to do, so naturally the speed in which they took their meal was much faster.
After Lan Qu cleaned up the dishes on the table, Lan You Nian got up and ced the breakfast sent from the manor on the stone table.
Zhang Lin, Lan You Nian softly summoned.
Young miss, Zhang Lin stood in front of Lan You Nian respectfully.
identally pass by from in front of General Lan. Remember, it is unintentional, but you must let General Lan see you. Do you understand? Lan You Nian held the spoon stirring the white porridge in the bowl.
Yes! After he finished speaking, Zhang Lin left. He already knew what young miss wanted to do. Hmph! Young miss does not act, they think that You Nian Pavilion was afraid of them?
Lan Jian Jun had the habit of practicing swords every day at daybreak. So, Zhang Lin did not need to inquire to know where Lan Jian Jun was. As he expected, when Zhang Lin deliberately came to the training area in the backyard, Lan Jian Jun was, in simple blue robes, brandishing a long sword.
In the backyard in the ce for sword practicing, it was not only where Lan Jian Jun exercised with the sword at daybreak, but it was also the ce where all the guards of the manor practiced martial arts. Therefore, it was not unexpected for Zhang Lin to appear here. Moreover, there were other guards working out. Only the ce where Lan Jian Jun practiced the sword was separate, while the ce where the guards practiced the sword was next to it.
Zhang Lin knew that he was now following the young miss. Based on generals guilt and favor towards young miss, when he sees him, he will definitely think of the young miss. Then it was very likely that he will go to young misss ce, then...
When Lan Jian Jun saw Zhang Lin, he did think of that daughter he owed; he thought about the daughters alienation of him now. Just thinking about it, he no longer had any interest in sword practice and put down the long sword. Lan Jian Jun walked next to Zhang Lin and crossed a few moves with Zhang Lin.
Has Nianer been well these few days? Lan Jian Jun asked while crossing techniques with Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin deliberately shed and did not receive Lan Jian Juns move. But fortunately, both of them were just working out. There was no substantial damage. But Lan Jian Jun still could sense Zhang Lins unnaturalness.
Young miss is all well! Zhang Lin said with a serious face.
Although Lan Jian Jun was skeptical but did not know what actually happened, so he received the towel from the waiting hands of Uncle Lan and wiped his sweat, You continue practicing!
Since Master is worried about young miss, why not go and see? Uncle Lan said earnestly.
Uncle Lan, you dont know, Nianer doesnt want to see me at all. If I go, Im afraid I will make her unhappy. In the end, I have wronged Nianer that child, Lan Jian Jun stood in the cold wind of daybreak, sorrow shing in his eyes.
Can master listen to this old ve say a word? Uncle Lan ced the cloak in his hands onto Lan Jian Juns back, just like when Lan Jian Jun was still a child, taking care of him.
What is Uncle Lan saying? In my heart, Uncle Lan is like an elder, Lan Jian Juns father did not love him. The old Madame never cared about him before. She only used him as a tool topete for favor. When he was a child, it was Uncle Lan who was such a good elder to himself.
Master has indeed done something wrong. Young miss is borne by Madame who fought with her life to give birth. But this matter cant be med on the young miss. At that time, young miss was just a child, Uncle Lan when speaking of this matter couldnt help a sigh, Since Master feels you have wronged the young miss, as this old ve can see master really likes young miss, then master should pay more attention to care about young miss. No matter what, blood is thicker than water. Young miss has suffered so many years of bitterness, master cannot, because of young misss cold-shoulder, give up. Otherwise, master may not be able to be father and daughter in this life!
Listening to Uncle Lans words, Lan Jian Jun only felt that what Uncle Lan said was true. Since he wanted topensate this daughter, then he could not give up. That was his own daughter ah! He disregarded her for thirteen years, while now he has been given the cold shoulder for merely a few days, he already felt so hurt, then his daughter before....
I know. Uncle Lan, theres no need to prepare breakfast in the room. I will go to Nianers ce to eat, As soon as Lan Jian Jun finished speaking, he headed to You Nian Pavilion by himself.
Young miss, General Lan ising, Lan Qu arranged the in congee and little dishes and said to her own young miss with a bit of gloating.
Lan Jian Jun arrived in You Nian Pavilion. He looked at the courtyard that has taken on apletely new look in just a few days. The treasures and exotic flowers were arranged naturally inside. It was decorated elegantly without losing serenity. It seemed that you can feel the tranquility when you enter here.
In the pavilion of the courtyard, with her back facing him sat a petite girl. She looked so small and so frail. Lan Jian Jun didnt know why, seeing his daughters so serene but deste back, his eyes actually reddened.
Lan You Nian put down the chopsticks that she didnt actually eat with, stood up, and slightly bent over, General Lan.
Lan Jian Jun recovered his own gaffe, assumed familiarity and said, Nianer is using breakfast?, especially hoping he can get a little closer to his daughter.
Yes! Lan You Nian replied. Concerning Lan Jian Juns gaffe from moments before, she saw with her eyes, but there is not any constion. After all, she was not the Lan You Nian who longed for a little bit of fatherly love.
Your father has not used breakfast. How about we use it together! The dignified General Lan, at this time, used a slightly cautious tone as he asked the girl sitting on the stone chair.
Lan Qu, go add a pair of chopsticks! Lan You Nian said to Lan Qu. Lan Quplied,ughter shing in the eyes. Young miss can be reallyzy. She didnt want to go fight with the old Madame so instead, let General Lane. Young miss was just happy to watch the show.
For being able to take breakfast with his daughter, which was such amon thing, but Lan Jian Jun was obviously very happy. But when Lan Jian Jun picked up the tableware prepared to eat and saw the pitiful things on the table that could hardly be considered a breakfast, he was enraged. Not even the mostmon grain of rice can be seen in the simple congee. Those small dishes of green vegetables were clearly not fresh. But the daughter he wanted to spoil in his heart actually could eat it with relish, even eating it so elegantly.
Lan Jian Jun was originally hot-tempered. He pulled Lan You Nian behind him and swept the congee and vegetarian dishes on the table to the ground.
Lan You Nian seemed unable to see Lan Jian Juns rage and leisurely sat down, General Lan, what is your meaning?
Is this what the manor gives you? Lan Jian Jun really lost his temper. He believed that after he dered Nianers identity to the entire manor on that day of return, these people should know how to act properly. They should know who is the master in this Lan manor. But he didnt expect, in these few days, these people dared to have other ideas right under his eyelids.
What? General Lan broke my teacup, Lan You Nian bent down to pick up the broken pieces.
Hasnt young miss eaten this all the time? The one this morning is considered good, Lan Wu also understood what young miss wanted to do, so she started to add to the fire.
Didnt I say if there is anything to find this general? Lan Jian Jun said in in furious tones but did not vent his anger on Lan Wu and Lan Qu. Lan Jian Jun understood that Lan You Nian valued these two servant girls.
Ha Dont know why but Lan Wu who was originally acting suddenly started crying, Find the general? Then when the young miss toed the line between life and death so many times, where was the general? Lan Wu remembered young misss pain when the poison acted up every month, remembered young miss establishing her forces, wandering through the forest of des and a hail of arrows. Dont know why but she felt heartache for her own young miss.
Lan Wu! Lan Qu scolded, quickly cut off Lan Wu from blurting out anymore unrestrained words. She knew Lan Wus heart felt for young misss grievances and injustice. When does she not feel the same? But their young miss was resilient and does not need these. Their young miss was the best, even without a fathers protection!
Lan Wu also knew shemitted a wrong, anxiously nced at Lan You Nian. Seeing Lan You Nian didnt seem to show any signs of anger, only then did she dry her tears and stood behind Lan You Nian, holding her tongue.
Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter with wide eyes. His mouth opened and closed many times, but he didnt know what he should say. He knew this servant girl did not lie, but he just thought his Nianer maybe only lived poorly but didnt think it was so severe.
Lets go to daddys ce for breakfast! Lan Jian Jun wanted to say sorry but found he was undeserving. He wanted tofort his daughter by saying that he will not be the same in the future, daddy will protect you, but found he was not qualified at all.
No need, I have already eaten enough! Lan You Nian did not lie. She was really full, but it was not eating these but eating the meal sent by Feng Yi Xuan. However, when Lan Jian Jun heard this, his heart was distressed. Seeing his daughter eat so little, his heart became more and more oppressive.
Go investigate. I have to see just who is doing this! Lan Jian Jun passed the orders down. He didnt use breakfast; he just waited here.
Lan You Nian looked at the pieces on the ground in total disorder. The corner of her mouth outlined a sneer. It really is such a crude trick that is too low to be seen in public.
Chapter 46
46 An Yiniang, Reap What You Sow
December 10, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The spacious, elegantly decorated courtyard of You Nian Pavilion was filled with many maids and ves kneeling. Lan Jian Jun sat in the pavilion, his gaze that was filled with bloodthirstiness he used on the battlefield was leveled on the servants kneeling on the ground. Meanwhile, Lan You Nian merely took a nce before withdrawing her gaze.
These people were merely cannon fodder but likewise, they didnt put her in their eye. She has left the manor for so many years; the manor has long been controlled by An yiniang. More than half of the servants kneeling on the ground were all An yiniangs people. It would be good to use these people to make an example of. Otherwise, they really think this You Nian Pavilion was easy to bully.
Who ordered the kitchen to make such unsightly meals for the young miss? Uncle Lan stood beside Lan Jian Jun and began to interrogate these servants.
Although the people kneeling below were trembling all over, not one person stepped out to confess. After all, in their eyes, Lan Jian Jun is An yiniangs husband. Moreover, the manor only has An yiniang this one woman. It can be seen the means An yiniang has. Not to mention, this matter was ordered by the old Madame. No matter how much Master favors third young miss, he will not go against the old Madame.
Zhang Lin, Lan You Nian looked at the maids and ves below. Her eyes shed with a smile, but that smile was too cold. Lan Qu and Lan Qu knew that someone would be out of luck.
Young miss, Zhang Lin who has already returned from his morning exercise came to Lan You Nians side. Lan Jian Jun seeing the respect in his eyes was satisfied.
White, nearly transparent finger pointed in the direction of a corner at a maid in her 20s. Lan You Nian remembered her. Not only remembered her, but also remembered every single one of the people who bullied her predecessor. Zhang Lin, understanding, went over, seized the maid, and brought her over to kneel in front of Lan You Nian.
Third young miss, The maid knelt in front of Lan You Nians feet; her eyes shed with contempt. This legitimate young miss was merely a disfigured, ugly girl. She was always timid like a mouse. Even when she was young, when she would always push her into the pond, she has never seen this young miss angry. She only knew to cry.
Who ordered you to let the kitchen do this? Lan You Nianzily leaned against the stone pir of the pavilion.
What is third young miss saying? This ve doesnt understand, The maids forehead touched the ground, seemingly respectful but refused to say anything.
Zhang Lin, since she doesnt understand, give her 20 flogs, As soon as Lan You Nian finished, Zhang Lin ordered two of You Nian Pavilions guards to press the maid to the ground. The paddle ceaselessly struck the backside of the maid.
The strength of the guards was great to begin with. Concerning the matter that their young miss being bullied, they already had a stifled fire in their belly, so now this flogging was really tearing the skin with the flesh gaping open.
Ahthird young miss, this ve is wrong, this ve will confess! Beg third young miss to spare this ve! After only five flogs, the maid couldnt take it anymore and asked for mercy.
Lan You Nian sent a look over. The guards stopped the paddle in their hands.
It is the old Madame who gave the orders. She said third young miss is sick so had to eat something light. This ve was only acting ording to the instructions of the old Madame! The maid dragged her bloody lower body to crawl up, continuously kowtowing.
Oh? Since old Madame instructed only to make these light things? But arent these a little too light, en? Lan You Nian nudged the broken pieces with her foot. You could still see that unsightly vegetarian dishes and simple congee.
The maid stuttered, not daring to say, but Lan You Nian did not give her another chance, Resume flogging!
This time, Zhang Ling actually personally flogged her, Third young miss, spare this ve! It is An yiniang who gave the orders ah! It is An yiniang who gave the orders ah! The maid wailed. But this time, Lan You Nian did not give any signs, only unfeelingly watched Zhang Lins paddle mming down one at a time until the maid took herst breath.
All the maids and family retainers kneeling on the ground helplessly watched a living maid beat to death just like this. This scene let all the people feel this third young misss cruelty and decisiveness. Thinking back to their own performance, they all buried their heads, afraid that the next one would be them.
Zhang Lin, there isnt enough strength in your hands. It took too long, Lan You Nan watched the guards drag the corpse of the maid out and said to Zhang Lin.
This subordinate is at fault. Next time, this subordinate will certainly be faster! Zhang Lins words made the people kneeling on the ground tremble even more. Next time? Who will it be next time? Will it be one of them?
Master, third young miss, this ve will confess, this ve will confess all of it! A maid immediately said. She was really afraid that the next one will be her. The death of that maid still yed in front of her eyes. She didnt want to die! It was ordered by An yiniang. The simple congee made for young miss wasst years rice dustings. The vegetables were made from the thrown away greens that grew worms. These were all ordered by An yiniang!
With the first person confessing, one after the other followed; they all started to confess. As Lan You Nian expected, this was indeed An yiniangs doing. However, after not having seen this An yiniang after for so many years, how can she be so eager? After all, in the predecessors memory, this An yiniang could really endure. She even had quite the means. But now, tsk tsk, it was really disappointing.
In reality, Lan You Nian didnt know that An yiniang was so eager was because she was frightened by Lan You Nians resurrection. Now Lan You Nian had the protection of Lan Jian Jun. Lan Mo Xian also had the ability to protect Lan You Nian. An yiniangs three children, however, have be the Lan You Nian of the past. They did not receive any of Lan Jian Juns attention, although they have never received any attention. So An yiniang was afraid, so afraid that her efforts of so many years were wasted. Doing such things due to fear was quite idiotic.
Tie up An yiniang and bring her over to me! Lan Jian Jun was even more angry hearing this.
Theres no need, Lan You Nian interrupted Lan Jian Juns words, making everyone stunned. They didnt expect third young miss to be so daring. She just received favor, yet she dared to interrupt the masters words. This time she will certainly return to the same as before, being neglected by the master in You Nian Pavilion.
Whats wrong, Nianer? Dont be afraid. This An yiniang is too daring. You can do whatever you want! Lan Jian Jun did not have any dissatisfaction with Lan You Nians actions. Right now, he felt as long as his daughter was willing to speak with him, it was good, who cares what they are talking about.
Uncle Lan, give the orders. Since An yiniang is so considerate of Nianer, then how can Nianer waste An yiniangs good intentions? Lan You Nian said softly. It is nothing but the actions of a youngdy of a noble family, but...In the future, An yiniangs every meal will be made ording to this. I think An yiniangs body isnt very good. Its good to eat light.
Yes, young miss is right. This old ve will arrange for it and will definitely have An yiniang enjoy these. Uncle Lan bowed and affirmed. With Uncle Lans monitoring in the future, An yiniang will most certainly be having simple congee and vegetables every day.
Uncle Lan, vegetarian dishes arent necessary. Its enough to just send simple congee to An yiniang every day. Looking at his daughters naughty expression, Lan Jian Jun immediately followed, seeming like a little puppy dog. If it wasnt because of An yiniangs background, he would have already taken his sword and stabbed her to death with one stroke. But if his daughter wanted to kill An yiniang, he will definitely help. In fact, without knowing it, Lan Jian Jun has slowly grown a daughterplex. His good towards Lan You Nian was not only because of guilt but because he really loved this daughter.
Lan You Nian hearing Lan Jian Juns words, the corner of her mouth under the veil curled into a sliver of a smile. This father was really quite interesting....unfortunately....
Qiuer! An yiniang looked at the bowl of clear congee and shouted for her own personal maid.
Madame, whats the matter? Qiuer ran into the room immediately.
How did this happen? Howe this Madames meal has be like this? Who has such courage! An yiniang just looking at the clear porridge on the table, a fire rose in her belly. She managed the Lan manor for so many years, what she ate and used were all good, when has she seen such a simple congee?
Madame, this, this is what Uncle Lan personally had people send over. It is what the master ordered! Qiuer replied delicately. Uncle Lan even said that the master has ordered that all of Madames meals will be these in the future.
An yiniang clenching the chopsticks in her hands shaking, It must be that little whores doing, it definitely is!
Madame... Qiuer, seeing An yiniangs clearly abnormal attitude, was prepared tofort, but was snarled at by An yiniang, Get out, send a letter to Prime Ministers manor!
An yiniang looked at the congee in her hands. Viciousness shed across her eyes. Since you are so unperceptive, then dont me me for being merciless!
Chapter 47
47 Nightfall
December 14, 2018
secretdreamwishes
In the silent night, even the moon was hidden behind dark clouds, not wanting to look upon this dirty world.
Lan You Nian, clothed in white sleepwear, stood in front of the window. A cold gust of night wind blew up the long hair scattered on her back giving off a kind of indifferent immortal bearing.
-sleepwear
Lan Qu retrieved a white cloak from the wardrobe and ced it on Lan You Nians shoulders. She studied her familys young miss who wasnt even as tall as her but she had to worry about so many things, and perhaps she felt heartache for her. Outsiders only saw Wu Qing gongzis mysteriousness and power. Only the people at Lan You Nians side knew that those power were exchanged with blood and painstaking effort.
Young miss, the night is cold, you better rest early, Lan Qu was always been afraid young miss felt cold because, in the past, young miss has been frozen for so long in the snow, so as soon as she got cold, she would get sick.
Lan Qu, guess if well see blood tonight? Lan You Nian tucked in the cor of her clothes and gazed at the dark sky.
This will depend on that An yiniangs tolerance level, Lan Qu was unconcerned about those matters, neither was she afraid because Lan Feng has already returned. She was only concerned about young misss body.
Hmph! It seems that An yiniangs tolerance isnt so good after all! Lan You Nian put on the veil. Pitch ck eyes permeated with ice as they leveled on the people in ck integrating themselves into the night and one by one enter You Nian Pavilion.
After Lan Wu finished making the bed, she also stood behind Lan You Nian and looked at the people in ck who entered You Nian Pavilion one by one. She said very sinctly, Carrying such gleaming des, are they afraid others will not recognize them?
Lan You Nian originally had a bit of rage but didnt know whether tough or cry after what Lan Wu said. After all, Lan Wu was very right. In You Nian Pavilions courtyard, thenterns in the corridors were brightly lit in the night. The des in the assassins hands were very ring to the eye under the reflection of the light. This way, anyone will notice them!
It seems that An yiniang underestimates me. That Prime Minister An also underestimates me! Lan You Nian knew that these people werent sought out by An yiniang. They were sent by Feng nations left prime minister, Prime Minister An. It seems that An yiniang couldnt bear it anymore and had her family help out. Lan You Nian self-reflected for a moment, has she recently been too annoying?
When those people in ck appeared in You Nian Pavilion, Lan Feng appeared. You Nian Pavilions guards also appeared. They uniformly blocked off the men in ck in the courtyard as to not allow the assassins to disturb young misss rest.
Maybe the men in ck didnt think that they would be discovered so soon. After all, the prime minister said that it was just a delicate and ipetent young miss of the manor. But the surrounding guards that appeared at this moment and that woman standing in the distance, how could this be the subordinates of a young miss of the boudoir.
Once face to face, the guards of You Nian Pavilion charged forward. However, Lan Feng just stood there watching but did not make a move. The guards of You Nian Pavilion may not be as good at martial arts, but after all, they were all men who have been on the battlefield with Lan Jian Jun. Their strikes were fast and ruthless. Every move had the stance of exerting their utmost strength. Looking at those men in ck, the martial arts wasnt very good and had unsteady hearts. After receiving one hit after the other, already more than half of them were injured while You Nian Pavilions guards became more energetic the more they fought.
Perhaps it was because such a meaningless fight made Lan You Nian bored, she elegantly yawned, Lan Feng, end this quickly! Also, dont break the courtyard!
When Lan Feng heard her familys young misss instructions, she jumped into the middle of the fight in an instant. The sword brandished through the air with sparks flying. Everywhere it wentid a dead body. Zhang Lin and others were dazed looking at Lan Feng, or to say, looking at Lan Fengs skill at killing. Then they were emitting worship!
Too weak! After finishing thest person, Lan Feng wiped off the blood on her sword and said with contempt. In fact, these peoples martial arts was too ipetent. They cannot bepared to them shadow guards. If it were not young misss instructions, she would be toozy to make a move.
Zhang Lin and others were ashamed as they watched Lan You Nian slowlying down from the pavilion tower. Lan Fengsment of too weak made this group of men distressed. After all, they were older than Lan Feng. More so, they were men, but their martial arts were not as good as a womans. There was indeed a bit of embarrassed panic.
Good martial arts and skills are earned mainly due to hard work and practice. You are already very good! Lan You Nian discerned these fifteen peoples self-inferiority. Since they were her own guards, Lan You Nian gave some words of constion. She didnt lie. These people were much better than the usual guards of official families.
Zhang Lin, pick out an ugly head and cut it off. Give it to An yiniang. Remember to make it pretty! Lan You Nian nced over the bodies in the courtyard, then seemed to think of something. Her eyes shed with a sh with interest and gave orders.
When Lan You Nian had already fallen asleep, the guards in the courtyard, half of them cleaned up the bodies, the other half were looking for the ugliest assassin. After searching for a long time, they finally found an assassin who couldnt bear to be looked at. Zhang Lin cut down the assassins head with one swipe of his sword. Then remembering young miss said to make it pretty, its already like this, how can it be made pretty? Zhang Lin was very troubled.
I know what to do, Lan Wu came to Zhang Lins side and twittered on saying. Meanwhile, the mouths of the surrounding guards twitched, hey, you are a girl ok?
Because An yiniang ate congee for two days, the entire person was a little listless. There was no strength in doing things. Uncle Lan also cut off all the pastries she had here. Even if she wanted to eat something else to satisfy her craving, it was very hard. At first, she was not willing to eat this simple congee that was difficult to swallow, but in the end, she was really too hungry and could only force herself and drank the simple congee. But what could just drinking simple congee do?
In the middle of the night, An yiniangs sleep was not very peaceful in the first ce, for some reason, she felt that she had something right beside her. An yiniang stretched out her hand to feel and actually felt a cold object. This instantly woke An yiniang up. But when An yiniang saw what was in bed with her, a scream tore through her entire body and she hid in the innermost part of the bed.
Lying in the delicately, exquisite quilt was a headless male body. The body was already cold. The blood flowing down the neck dyed the whole bed red. However, that ck clothing An yiniang was very familiar with. That was night uniform of the guards from her paternal family (maiden home).
When Qiuer heard the Madames scream, she immediately rushed into the inner room. Seeing the corpse on the bed, she was also terrified, and her entire body trembled.
Madame, this ve will go call for someone! Qiuers body shivered and was prepared to go support An yiniang.
Dont go. Go call the housekeeper over! Quickly! Dont let others know about this, you hear? Although An yiniang was afraid but still had some brains. If people knew that there was a male corpse sleeping in her bed, not only will her reputation be ruined, if investigated, shes afraid she couldnt take it.
As An yiniang stared at the corpse in the bed with horror, she realized that there was water on her face. Reaching out and touching the water drop on her face, studying it under the light of candlelight, An yiniang realized it was blood. Even more horrifying was that there was still constant drops of blood dripping down onto her face.
Looking up, An yiniang saw, at the head of her bed, there hung a head. A bloody head hung on An yiniangs bed. That iparably grotesque face directly faced An yiniang. That pair of wide eyes seemed to stare directly at An yiniang. All of this made An yiniang faint over.
Chapter 48
48 Pay Respects
December 15, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The early summer rain carried some of Mays coolness, unhurriedly without any signs of stopping anytime soon. The leaves on the tree outside the window were washed anew and clean. The early summer rain was less lingering than spring rain, instead with an extra degree of fervor. It was less noisy than the summer rain, instead it was a little more refreshing. It was less mature than the autumn rain but had a little more youthfulness.
Lan You Nian looked at the falling rain shower outside the window. Just like a few years ago, there was an impulse to be out in the rain, but just as she came to the inner rooms door and havent yet left the pavilion-tower, Lan Wu and Lan Qu were already standing there, each wearing an expression of I caught you.
Young miss.... Lan Qus helpless voice drifted. All the time, young miss was like an elder who experienced the vicissitudes of the world, but this willful personality without any self-love was like a real little girl, but this also made others worry.
Mm, I wasnt thinking about going out into the rain! Lan You Nian smiled. Although she had such an idea, she also knew how her body is now. She isnt someone who didnt care for herself.
Really? Lan Wu clearly didnt believe her. It really is that the young miss never takes her own body seriously. Have you ever seen someone who already endures deadly poisons in their body but never worries about finding an antidote, as if it doesnt concern her? Fortunately, the eldest young master (Gui Yi) and young misss shifu have been developing an antidote. Otherwise, relying on young misss temper, it would be bad.
I heard that An yiniang passed outst night? As Lan Yo Nian reached out the palm of her hand catching the cold raindrops, she remembered the present she gave An yiniangst night.
Yes! I heard the scare wasnt light! But this matter isnt known by others, except for the housekeeper of the manor. Zhang Lin said that the body was handled by that housekeeper. Lan Wu was excited as she remembered secretly watching An yiniangs expression of being frightened to near madness. Anyone who bullied her familys young miss she will not let go of them.
Lan You Nian was silent. Although An yiniangs methods were ruthless, even killed plenty of people, but never actually touched her outright. All she did was used some means or let others do it. This time sleeping together with a veritable dead body, An yiniang surely felt pretty good.
What is Mo Xian gege doing? Lan You Nian recalled the brother who ran to her courtyard whether its for something or nothing at all and was prepared to go to see her older brothers courtyard. After all, since she entered Lan manor, she has never gone to see older brother.
Lan Qu went out to ask. Young miss, today young master Lan was summoned by old Madame. I heard that it was to pay morning respects!
Since todays weather is pretty good, lets go pay respect to old Madame! Lan You Nian said. Lan Wu and Lan Qu looked at the rain shower outside. They couldnt see where the weather was good.
When the few people arrived at old Madames courtyard, Wang mama blocked Lan You Nian and the others outside the house, Third young miss, please let this old ve go in to pass you through!
Lan You Nian nodded and knew she has encountered someone trying to put her in her ce. It seems that she will be outside for a while. The rain outside is so big and her body wasnt good either; Lan You Nian did not like this old Madame more and more. Sure enough, a fellow of no elderly respect.
Does General Lan know that older brother came to pay respect? Lan You Nian knew that Lan Mo Xian is surely receiving oppression, not to mention An yiniang and Lan Ya Ya are inside as well. Lan Jian Jun sincerely liked this son. If he knew, he will definitelye.
General Lan does not know, Lan Qu said in a low voice, then nced at her familys young miss countenance and suddenly understood, Ill let Zhang Lin do it!
Seeing Lan Qu slowly withdrew, Lan You Nian and Lan Wu looked at each other. Both of them revealed an expression of smugness, like a mischievous child. Perhaps only at the side of the people who truly loved her, Lan You Nian will show her true self.
Under the flurry of the cool breeze, Lan You Nians originally pallid face was even more pale, adding on to that frail little body. Looking from afar, there was a kind of delicate and pitiful air around her. Lan Jian Jun heard his son was summoned by the old Madame and knew that the old Madame was making things difficult for his son again. His son will consider his own face so will definitely not do anything too over, but he watched this child grow up. He was like his own biological son. When Lan Jian Jun hurried to old Madames courtyard, he saw his own daughter standing in the wind and rain, with the pitiful appearance like she was on the verge of copse.
Nianer! Lan Jian Jun came to Lan You Nians side and tilted the umbre in Uncle Lan hands to block the cold wind that was blowing, Howe you are here?
General Lan! Lan You Nian gave a curtsy. Lan Wu immediately answered, Young miss came to pay respect to old Madame. But after waiting in the rain for so long, still doesnt allow young miss to go in.
Lan Jian Jun pulled up his daughters hand to walk inside the house, but his daughters hand was as cold as ice. This made Lan Jian Jun feel guilty again. Lan You Nian looked at the hand that was being held by Lan Jian Jun. Her eyes shing with bewilderment. This kind of feeling was the same as the feeling her Dad gave her.
Master! Wang mama gave a courtesy bow. When she saw Lan You Nian, she shivered slightly. She didnt expect that not only did she not sessfully give third young miss a hard time, she actually drew the master here. Now, how can the old Madame make things difficult for the eldest young master?
Wang mama has grown old that it takes so long to pass the message through. It seems to this general that Wang mama doesnt need to continue to stay in Lan manor! Lan Jian Juns expression looking at Wang mama was unkind.
Master, this old ve didnt make things difficult for third young miss ah, master! Wang mama knelt down and shouted. She relied on Lan manors money to support her home. She was one of old Madames people. In Lan more, she lived very well, ate well, drank well, even has face.
What happened? The sound of old Madames voice filled with dissatisfaction drifted out.
Lan Jian Jun pulled Lan You Nian into the inner room. For the first time he didnt give the old Madame a good look, Mother, Nianers body isnt well, but she still came over to pay respect. How can you let her wait so long in the cold and rain?
As soon as Lan Mo Xian heard his younger sister actually waited for a long time outside, he could no longer hold back the rage he suppressed for a long time. He could endure old Madames oppression. After all, it was just listening to a few ugly words, do some boring things thats all. But his younger sister was different. She was the true rightful legitimate daughter of Lan manor. The old Madame really oversteps her bounds.
Because Lan Mo Xian cant do anything to the old Madame, so instead gave a kick to the Wang mama behind him, If Nianer meimei gets sick, you this old ve doesnt need to live!
Wang mama cried out as she was kicked to the ground. The old Madame suddenly became even more angry. Were they all going to rebel? Its all this unlucky stars cmity. Moments ago, this Lan Mo Xian was still good. No matter what she said, he didnt refute. As soon as this unlucky star came, he actually dares to hit people.
Lan Mo Xian, you struck this old womans ve in my own house, where do you put this olddy! The old Madame scolded.
Good p! Lan Jian Juns words made the old Madames face be extremely ugly. The old Madame had no children. Relying on this child passed onto her, she steadily sat on the seat of the old Madame of Lan manor. Due to Lan Jian Juns status, the old Madame had plenty of face outside. Now the old Madames only support was Lan Jian Jun. Whether or not it was sincere, what she cared about the most is Lan Jian Jun.
But Lan Jian Juns words just now was like pping her face. Although her son wasnt close to her, but he was very respectful, but now... The old Madame felt a little panicked. If this son was no longer respectful to her, then she will not have any prestige in Lan manor in the future. In the future, those olddies outside, who knows how they will ridicule her, no, absolutely not!
Lan You Nian saw the old Madames look very clearly. To hurt someone, not only did you need to hurt their body, but also their heart. What they cared most about, what they were concerned the most about, just destroy it. That was the real torture for others. What the old Madame cared the most about is reputation and status and this son, thats all.
And An yiniang, Lan You Nian looked at the ugly expression of An yiniang sitting beside her. An yiniang this person really loves Lan Jian Jun, and then besides that, she was concerned about her three children, wu, what should she destroy first? Better if it was one by one then.
An yiniang didnt know why but she felt a cold air rising up her back. When An yiniang looked up and saw Lan You Nian staring at her like she was staring a dead person, that look made An yiniang feel a burst of panic. Rememberingst nights corpse, her intuition told her this cant escape connection with Lan You Nian, but does Lan You Nian really have such great ability?
My son, when did you be like this? Do you not have this mother of yours in your eye? The old Madame used filial piety to pressure Lan Jian Jun.
Mother, this son does not provoke mother to be angry. Mo Xian is Lan manors legitimate son. Teaching a lesson to a ve, he has every right, Lan Jian Jun countered, just like in the past with the same attitude of refusing to take in any concubines.
Master, old Madame doesnt have any intention of ming the eldest young master. Why doesnt third young miss persuade the master, a peaceful family will proper ah! An yiniang didnt forget to bring Lan You Nian into this at this time.
Who let you speak? Is this the attitude you should use to talk to Nianer? Lan Jian Jun tossed An yiniang a re. It was just this once nce that made An yiniangs face pale. The little person in Lan You Nians heartughed. Look, no matter how vicious a woman was, after being yelled at by the man she loved, she will definitely be hurt.
An yiniang looked at the man in front of her. She still remembered the first time she saw this man, she instantly fell in love with him. She longed for this man to look at her with the same look in his eyes as he looked at his wife, but he didnt. So, she exhausted every means only to be a concubine, just to stay by this mans side. But after so many years, that woman is already dead, she gave birth to three children for him, but this mans heart, even his eyes, still didnt contain her. An yiniang felt that she was like a joke.
Jian Jun, no matter what An-niang is your wife. For you, for this family, for the children, she busied for so many years. How can you listen to other peoples provocations and treat An-niang like this! The old Madame deliberately nced at Lan You Nian when she mentioned provocation.
Old Madame said something wrong. An yiniang isnt a wife but merely a concubine! When Lan You Nian mentioned concubine she saw extreme hatred sh across An yiniangs eyes.
You unmannered thing, did I let you speak? Right now, the old Madame was angered just seeing Lan You Nian. Hearing Lan You Nians words, she felt ufortable. She felt that her son was now so unfilial, it was all because of Lan You Nians provocation.
It seems that mother is unwell today. Then, son will take Mo Xian and Nianer back, Lan Jian Jun tugged Lan You Nian and lifted his feet to go outside the door, but he suddenly remembered something and stopped. To the old Madame in the inner room he said, Since mother doesnt like Mo Xian and Nianer, from now on, it isnt necessary for them toe to mothers ce.
When they were out of old Madames courtyard, Lan You Nian wrestled out her own hand. She felt a bit conflicted right now. On one hand, because it wasnt her own peoples closeness, she really wants to kill someone. On the other hand, she seems to slightly feel Lan Jian Jun wasnt so bad.
Lan Jian Jun sighed in his heart. Of his daughters abhorrence of him, he knew more or less, so although his heart ached, but it wasnt that difficult to ept. He will be a good father in the future. No one can hurt his daughter.
Nianer, your grandfather had someonee over and said he wants you to go to He manor to y, are you willing to go? Lan Jian Jun put away his serious expression from the battlefield and asked gently.
After Lan Jian Juns reminder, only then did Lan You Nian remember that she really should go to grandfathers ce to look around. After all, this elder sincerely liked her. And she truly regards Tutor He as her grandfather.
En, will older brother be going together? Lan You Nian knew that grandfather really likes Lan Mo Xian. Lan Mo Xian was also very close to Tutor He.
No, there is still a lot of things to deal with in the military. It will be good that Nianer goes to y, Lan Mo Xian tilted the umbre towards Lan You Nian, Want older brother to pick you up tonight?
I cane back myself, Lan You Nan refused Lan Mo Xians good intentions. After all, Lan Mo Xian was now very busy. She was not a feeble female without any ability.
Watching Lan You Nians figure from the back, Lan Jian Jun said to his son, Mo Xian, do you think in this life your father will ever hear Nianer call me father?
Whether Nianer meimei calls you father or not, she is your daughter. Father must never let Nianer meimei be disappointed again... Although Lan Mo Xian felt much respect for his father, but at the same time, his heart ached for his own younger sister.
Father will never again... Lan Mo Xian heard the sigh of his father walking in front of him.
Chapter 49
49 He Manor
December 17, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Zhang Lin drove the carriage while two of You Nian Pavilions guards followed outside. Inside the carriage sat Lan You Nian, Lan Qu, and Lan Wu.
Young miss, is Tutor He particrly stern? Lan Wu seemed hyperactive as she constantly moved around from time to time. Remembering that very soon they will be meeting their young misss maternal grandfather, she felt a little excited like she was seeing her own rtives. Tutor He is the rtive that the young miss has affirmed. He was different from Lan Jian Jun.
What? He may look like quite an old-fashioned person, but he is a good elder! Lan You Nian thinking of grandfathers performance that night, it really could contend with shifu. Lan You Nian felt that if in the future shifu came to the capital, if he could be acquainted with grandfather, the two of them will definitely be confidants.
Speaking of which, Tutor He is the only person who cares about young miss all these years Lan Qu couldnt helpmenting. Before, she believed that everyone had abandoned the young miss, only in the end did she learn that everyone wasnt even aware of the young misss disappearance. This was the most infuriating!
The carriage suddenly stopped. The sound of swords shing drifted from outside. Lan You Nian stepped down the carriage and saw the carriage arrived at an alley without any signs of human habitation. Meanwhile, Zhang Lin was entangled with Feng Yi Xuans shadow guard An Yi. Within a few moves, An Yi defeated Zhang Lins group of three.
Zhang Lin and others instantly wanted to vomit blood. Its one blow after the other ah! Last night, they were defeated by a female from young misss side. Today, howe therees another one?
Whats the matter? Ever since Lan You knew Feng Yi Xuan presented no harm to her, she was not as resistant, but she merely considered him as an acquaintance thats all.
Miss Lan, master invites you to see the fireworks in the south of the city tomorrow! An Yi was inwardly pleased. If he seeded in this matter, master will definitely praise him again, then either he can take a vacation or get a reward. He was excited just thinking about it.
Not going! Lan You Nian didnt spare An Yi a nce and dove back into the carriage. She felt that this Feng Yi Xuan became weirder and weirder. Why would he invite her to look at fireworks for no reason at all? Go watch fireworks with that mobile ice-cube? Are you certain she wont be frozen into an ice-cube too?
An Yi was depressed. An Yis heart was injured. An Yi felt that he had no face to see his own master. He felt that master will most assuredly make an example out of him......
Zhang Lin looked at the man who was clearly very strong in martial arts, yet stood in front of the carriage with an expression of tearless grief. He suddenly felt very strange. Zhang Lin, what are you waiting for? Lan You Nians voice came from within the carriage. Zhang Lin nced at An Yi with sympathy. Just like that, the carriage rushed by An Yis side.
Zhang Lin felt that even the most formidable people who met his familys young miss became no good. Sure enough, only following young miss will there be meat to eat. Look, such a powerful man, didnt he still look so pitiful abandoned by young miss?
The carriage parked in front of a very simple residence. The simple que had the former Emperors personally written nomination of He Manor intended tomend Tutor Hes uprightness and tenacity, and having taught several qualified emperors. As soon as Lan You Nian got off the carriage, she noticed Tutor Hes manor was very simple, without too much decoration and carvings. Her grandfather seemed to be a really honest official with clean hands.
Standing outside the manor was a seventeen-year-old man, wearing purple robes with his long hair bundled up. In this ancient world that produced beautiful men, this male wasnt very good-looking and can only be consideredely, but perhaps because of being born in a royal tutors family, he had a schrly air about him, but because he himself was from the military camps, so that schrly air carried hints of masculine vor. It was because of this temperament that it made his appearance give people afortable feeling.
Nianer meimei! As soon as Lan You Nian stepped off the carriage, the man waiting there came to the carriage and led Lan You Nian into He manor.
Biaoge! Lan You Nian softly acknowledged. The man leading her was called He Chu Yang, he was Tutor Hes grandson, her own cousin brother.
Nianer meimei actually recognized me. I was afraid Nianer meimei wont like me. Grandfather has been waiting at home for a long time, just waiting to see Nianer meimei! He Chu Yang, ever since he understood things, he knew he had an adorable biaomei, but he only saw biaomei a few times. Until he understood things, he noticed grandfather would look worried all day. Finally, he learned that his own biaomei went missing, life or death unknown. So, imperceptibly, he always felt a little more pity for this biaomei. Moreover, he was also a soldier under Ming wang. The little sister that Lan Mo Xian hung on his lips all day, that was also his little sister.
Nianer, howe you only came now to see grandfather? As soon as Lan You Nian stepped into the hall, she saw her own familys grandfather running over to her. The entire person was full of vitality. You absolutely couldnt see that same grief from in the pce.
Grandfather, slow down, hasnt Nianere to see you now? Lan You Nian supported her own grandfather, like a little girl acting spoiled.
Yes father, if in the future you miss Nianer, just let Nianer live here for a few days! Following Tutor He out was a man, about 30-40 years of age. His entire person was very refined. The eyebrows were a shadow of Tutor Hes.
Nianer, I am your uncle. When you were little, I often went over to see you. Dont know if you still remember? He Chun looked at Lan You Nian with moist eyes. His little sisters only child. this child has grown up. She was no longer that little infant in swaddling clothes. From now on, their He manor was her home.
Uncle Towards those who sincerely cared about her, Lan You Nian will treat sincerely in return. Moreover, towards He familys three men, Lan You Nian did not use the same old empty courtesy. Although Tutor He was an old-fashioned man, it did not include his own granddaughter. Those codes of ethics were not useful for his granddaughter.
Yanger ah, you cant be wild anymore in the future. You must look after your little sister understand? He Chun threw a re at his own son, then immediately changed his face when he looked at Lan You Nian. Seeing this, it made He Chu Yan feel that he was definitely not biologically rted.
This must be Nianer, quick, let auntie see. My poor child. How much bitterness have you suffered that you are so thin? From outside the entrance came in a inly dressed married woman wearing a bright red rose-acacia. The entire person exuded a certain Jiangnan females gentleness. This was He Chuns wife, Xu shi.
Auntie Lan You Nian called out endearingly. This one call instantly ignited Xu shis heart of motherly love. Originally, Xu-shi very much wished for a daughter, but to no avail, her body was a letdown and gave birth to a boy who only knew to make her angry all day. Now seeing the clever and endearing Lan You Nian, the more she looked the more she liked. She almost didnt let tears fall to express her heart of motherly love.
Xu shi repeatedly acknowledged, then to He Chu Yang who was still stupidly standing there, she scolded, Why didnt you have the kitchen bring out something good to eat? Bring out my pastries! Nianer has already been here so long. You as the older brother, dont you know how to take care of a bit more?
He Chu Yang suddenly felt that his life in the future became even darker. He looked at his father; father was the same. He looked at grandfather; grandfather only went to see Nianer meimei. Originally, because he took the military route instead of pursuing schrly interests, and even went to join the military, because of this, everyone in the family disliked him. Now that Nianer meimei hase, he has even less standing.
Lan You Nian and grandfathers family sat at the same table to take their meal. Her bowl was constantly being filled with a variety of dishes. Grandfathers family of four all said pretty much the same thing, that she was too thin and needed much more nourishment. Although Lan You Nian felt helpless but she savored this bit of warmth, the warmth that belonged to a home.
Grandfathers family tried to persuade her to stay but Lan You Nian didnt dwell. Lan manor still had her toys. Before she finished ying with her toys, Lan You Nian had a lot of patience. Moreover, thinking of Lan Jian Jun, Lan You Nian felt a different kind of feeling.
Ming Wang Manor, Feng Yi Xuans eyes as he looked at An Yi carried coldness.
After repeatedly treating Lan You Nian differently, Feng Yi Xuan shut himself up in the study to examine it for a day. Within that one day, he did not find out the reason why he treated Lan You Nian differently, but that day in his head, all of his thoughts were about his Nian Nian. Later, after hearing An Yi and others gossiping, only then did he understand. He has fallen in love with that girl, that girl who was different from the rest.
At first, Feng Yi Xuan was a bit stupefied. He was 19 years old this year. The males of the maind could take a wife at 18 but could have concubines at 16. ording to his age, he should have a cluster of wives and concubines, but his temperament was cold since young. His mysophobia was very serious. As long as a female got near him, she would be sent flying. But his Nian Nian was different. He didnt dislike her nearness. In fact, he liked to get closer to her. He liked the fragrance on her body, liked her coldness and strength, liked her skills and movements, liked everything about her. It turns out, without him noticing, he already fell in love with that girl.
When Feng Yi Xuan made sense of his feelings, his heart felt morefortable. This was the first time in his life his heart was moved. He was certain it would also be thest time. Since he liked, he has to win it. This has been Feng Yi Xuans principles concerning matters for many years. But its a pity that he never liked anything before in all these years.
When he heard An San say girls especially liked romance, not to mention the kind of girl Nian Nian was, so Feng Yi Xuan thought for a long time about a romantic idea. In the end, it was An Yi who suggested saying the south of the city had fireworks. Feng Yi Xuan thought about it. It seemed like many girls all liked it, so under An Yis self-confident volunteer, he let An Yi go invite his Nian Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan waited in the study room, a little anxious. When An Yi finally came back, Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with hope, but An Yis face was bitter, Master, Miss Lan didnt agree!
In the beginning, Feng Yi Xuans eyes that were filled with hope now became frigid; it pierced straight through An Yis spine, Youve been too idletely, go finish handling the things in the manor.
My holiday! My reward! Master, can you not do this? Such a petty man, Miss Lan will not like ah! But Feng Yi Xuan didnt hear the voice of An Yis heart, otherwise, An Yi will definitely be sent out of the country.
Where did she go tonight? Feng Yi Xuan sat in the study, tapping the writing desk.
An Er appeared in the study room in a sh. Although his own master wasnt clear with his question, An Er instantly understood who the master asked about. After all, since encountering that one, all of the masters thoughts were all on that one. Today, Miss Lan went to Tutor Hes manor. An Er replied.
Feng Yi Xuan deliberated. After a moment, Have An Yi give He Chu Yang a task. Have He Chu Yang bring his little sister to the south of the city to look at fireworks tomorrow night. This is a military order!, Lan Mo Xian guarded Nian Nian too tightly. Going through him will definitely not work.
Master? Is it really good to abuse your authority like this? Moreover, what military order makes the honorable Deputy He take his little sister to see fireworks. Is that army matters? Master, whats happened to you?
Yes! An Er could already foresee Deputy Hes aggrieved and disbelieving expression. Speaking of, Deputy He had always admired the master. He always followed the master to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but now, Im afraid masters image will decline a lot.
What!? He Manor gave off a violent roar. He Chu Yang was in his own room looking at An Yi who came and went like a shadow.
An Yi, have you got it wrong? Nianer meimei is only a child. Is it that Nianer meimei offended wangye? He Chu Yang didnt expect Ming wang would give him such an order, but that was his own little sister, how could he push her into the fire pit?
(cough), Deputy He overthinks. Its only that the master and Miss Lan are old acquaintances. Moreover, Miss Lan saved masters life once. What kind of person is master, even you dont know? An Yi told a bare-faced lie. In reality, his master was indeed this kind of person, that is, fancied your familys Miss Lan.
He Chu Yang considered it. Ming wang, although his temperance was unpredictable and hurt many people, but he was not a person full of malignant ideas. Moreover, hes followed Ming wang so many years, he more or less understood Ming wangs temper. If he wanted to hurt someone, that person would have been directly killed.
I understand He Chu Yang agreed to it. Tomorrow he will be going with. Itd be best to drag along Lan Mo Xian. This way, even if Ming wang wants to do something, with them two brothers, they could still protect Nianer meimei.
Finally finished, he can go back to report back on his mission. An Yi wiped the sweat that didnt exist from his head and quickly went to please his master.
Chapter 50
50 Gathering in the South of the City
December 17, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The scenery of the capital citys South Side was beautiful, even-more so because tonight the royal family was specially putting on fireworks. So much earlier in the day, there were many men and women gathered here to wait for nightfall.
At the same time, Lan You Nian was still in Lan manor drinking tea. In front of her stood two different, beautiful men. Her two brothers, Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang. Speaking of which, what a coincidence. When He Chu Yang came to Lan manor nning to invite Lan You Nian to the south side to look at fireworks, Lan Mo Xian was also nning to do so.
Because they just returned from the battlefront, so recently they were very busy, busy dispatching and arranging the soldiers in Jing and receiving all the posts. All the while, Lan Mo Xian never forgot about the little sister in the manor. Now hearing people talk about the fireworks in the south of the city, he thought that Nianer meimei was very bored in the manor, so he came back from the army camp way earlier nning to take little sister to see the fireworks. He didnt expect that just as he entered the manor, he also saw biaogeing. Furthermore, he had the same idea as him so the two decided to go together.
In fact, when the two were at the border, they often worked together to kill the enemy on the battlefield. He Chu Yang was even fathers subordinate. So, the rtionship between the two was very iron-strong. He Chu Yang was a man who had a strong sense of obligation, so he was very respectful of father on the battlefield but in private, like the rest of the He family, were resentful of father. Father knew that he was in the wrong and never made things difficult for cousin brother.
Nianer meimei, its gettingte, arent you going to change your clothes? He Chu Yang said. After all, the usual families young misses will take a long time to dress up meticulously before going out. He looked at Nianer meimei who seemed to always wear the same white gauze dress, the in hair was not stained with rouge. Although it can be seen that the texture of the clothes was the most precious Su brocade, but whos familys youngdy doesnt love beauty?
Is this dress not good? Lan You Nian stood up, clearly thin and petite, but the beautiful figure was unparalleled.
Good. Whatever Nianer meimei wears all looks good, Lan Mo Xian smiled, but was sad in his heart. Such a good Nianer meimei but the face was ruined. How bitter Nianer meimeis heart must be?
Lan Mo Xian was not wrong. His Nianer meimei really looks good in whatever she wore, but the prerequisite should be that there was not that eyesore of a veil. Because of this veil, the world knew that Lan You Nians face was ruined. When Lan You Nian returned to Lan manor in such a guise, the return of that Lan manors legitimate disfigured daughter already got out outside.
At night, the carriage carried He Chu Yang, Lan Mo Xian, and Lan You Nian three to the south of the city. Lan Qu was in the carriage waiting on Lan You Nian, outside the carriage, there was only the groom driving the carriage.
When the carriage arrived in the south of the city, it was no longer possible to go any further. Too many horse-drawn carriages were stuck on the road in the south of the city. The youngdies and young masters of the official and rich families all joined in the fun toe to the south of the city to see the rare fireworks. Although fireworks were verymon in modern times, they were rare in ancient times. Lan You Nian looked at the carriage that could not go any further, Its just a few steps away, lets just walk there!
As soon as the four stepped off the carriage, there were a lot of nces cast over. It honestly was that Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang were the current popr young masters of the capital. Their appearance was also outstanding, and their future was a great one. There were many unwed maidens who were mad for the two people. Because everyone knew Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang, of Lan You Nian who was walking alongside them, they had a good guess. Many people have already seen her at the pce banquet. This was Lan manors legitimate daughter, Lan You Nian.
Perhaps it was because Lan You Nians life was too tragic. Many young masters and young misses of old and well-known families either hated Lan You Nian, felt that Lan You Nian was not worthy of being the legitimate daughter, or was sympathetic towards Lan You Nian for her already disfigured face, or it was ridiculing Lan You Nian misery. All at once, all kinds of eyes looked towards Lan You Nian.
Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang also noticed the strange gazes around them. The two impassively blocked Lan You Nian at their side, coldly stared at the men and women around them.
When they came to the south of the city, the group walked into a luxuriously decorated restaurant. They saw that many people wanted to enter the restaurant, but the manager said the restaurant was already full. So, when Lan You Nian and others were prepared to find other ces, the manager seeing Lan Mo Xian and others slightly bowed, Master has been waiting for a while. Everyonee with me.
Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian were baffled. After all, they didnt know the managers so-called master, but at this time, He Chu Yang said, Ming wang also came. This restaurant is Ming wangs.
As soon as Lan Mo Xian heard this, he was prepared to take Lan You Nian and leave. After all, doing things under Ming wang for so long, he knew too well Ming wangs unsociable and entric nature. If a woman got too close, she will definitely be flung away. Biaoge, you go greet wangye, I will take Nianer meimei to find somewhere else.
When He Chu Yang heard this, he knew what Lan Mo Xian was thinking. After all, he was also surprised by Ming wangs behavior. At this time, An Yi appeared in front of the several people, Mo Xian, master will not ce any me. Right now, its a sea of people outside. Its hard to find a spot. Its better if you bring Miss Lan upstairs!, if you left with Miss Lan, your days are over!
Lan Mo Xian was half-in-belief and half-in-doubt, but before he could think it through, Lan You Nian already followed An Yi to the box upstairs. Now she has already thought about it clearly. Today this Ming wang will definitely see her, then why not openly go see what this man wanted to do?
As a matter of fact, when Lan You Nian appeared in the south of the city, Feng Yi Xuan, standing on the third-floor window, already saw her. There were clearly a lot of people in the south side of the city, but in the crowd of people he saw that girl he wanted to see with one nce. She was always so indifferent, as if outside this mortal world. He couldnt help but want that girl to be stained with the worldly matters to apany by his side.
AXuan, what are you looking at? Feng Xia Qi looked at his own younger brother who was staring out the window distractedly. He prepared to join in on the fun to also get a look but didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to suddenly shut the window and say, Nothing!
Feng Yi Xuan now looking at his own royal brother the more and more of an eyesore he became. Howe there are so many people who want toe? Originally, he nned to wait for Nian Nian toe then send He Chu Yang off, but now not only did royal brothere, even that Lan Mo Xian has followed here. Feng Yi Xuan felt severely dissatisfied.
AXuan ah, no matter what, we are brothers of the same mother. Is this how you treat your fourth brother? Feng Xia Qi didnt know what to do about this younger brother. In the past, this younger brother, although he had very little words, but didnt disdain him this much ah! Right, its disdain. That gaze carried the unmistakable disdain which made Feng Xia Qis heart all hurt.
AXuan, fourth brother saw youe here. Watching the fireworks by yourself will be too lonely so I came to apany you. How can you be like this?.... Feng Xia Qi ranted half a day away, but Feng Yi Xuan was toozy to even spare him a nce. As Feng Xia Qi continued to ramble, the door of the box opened from the outside and once again entered two men. Feng Xia Qi was stupefied, thenughed. Finally, someone came to bear this frigid air with him.
When Feng Yi Xuan saw his good friends Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li, his face could no longer use ugly to describe. He was certain that he didnt look at the calendar. Otherwise how could one after the othere disturb his good ns?
Hey, Feng Xia Qi, whats wrong with him? Yu Liu Li rubbed the coldness on his body. He honestly couldnt understand how he receives this kind of treatment when he just came in.
I also want to know ah, but....but fortunately you guys came, otherwise AXuan will definitely freeze me to death, Feng Xia Qiined to his friends.
Feng Yi Xuans hands that were behind his back moved, prepared to throw out the three people. Jing Wu An noticed Feng Yi Xuans intentions which quickly made his hair stand on end, for fear that he will get hurt. But at this moment, the box doors were opened by someone from outside. Feng Xia Qi and Yu Liu Li stopped rambling, and Jing Wu An inwardly sighed, so close. Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan noticed who the approaching people were and immediately recollected his cold aura, for fear of scaring his Nian Nian.
The three people saw thating in was a woman, no, it was a girl, they were even more horrified. Who didnt know that good friend of theirs disgust towards women? This little girl stepped into the wrong box. This will definitely see bloodshed again. Feng Xia Qi, because he recognized Lan You Nian and his impression of this little girl was very good, he was really afraid his younger brother will hurt the other so was prepared to let Lan You Nian go out.
You came, Feng Yi Xuan made a sound, but this sound was even more frightening than not speaking.
Because of Feng Yi Xuans words, all three people knew that this girl was specially invited by Feng Yi Xuan. What kind of skill can make Feng Yi Xuan invite? The three people studied Lan You Nian.
When Lan You Nian appeared in the box, the white skin seemed to be covered in ayer of moonlight, sparkling with brilliance. A pair of watery beautiful eyes as if zed stone. A white gauze dress outlined the thin body, but the beauty of the figure was indistinct. The slim waist was like a high beam; it made the entire figure enchanting and soft. The long ink hair hung down to the waist, as if it was a fairy falling down to earth, extraordinarily refined, an unsurpassed beauty of a generation.
All three people sighed. What a pure and refined girl. This kind of girl seemed like someone everyone would like.
Fourth wangye, Ming wang, Lan You Nian curtsied, then slightly greeted Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li.
You are General Lans daughter, right? When I was a child, I always heard Tutor He talk about you. Feng Xia Qis impression of Lan You Nian was very good, so he came forward to ask.
It is this youngdy! Just as Lan You Nian finished speaking, Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang also entered the box. When they saw their little sister was safe and sound, they both discreetly released sighs of relief. The two greeted Feng Yi Xuan and the others.
The several people sat around the same table, but the strange thing was that Feng Yi Xuan actually sat next to Lan You Nian, which made Lan Mo Xian tense for a long time for fear that his little sister would be heedlessly thrown from upstairs. Meanwhile, it was obvious that Feng Xia Qi and the two others had a strong interest in Lan You Nian. Its honestly that they knew Feng Yi Xuans temperament very well, but to treat a girl so, they were still surprised. However, when they studied the girl for a long time, they had to sigh. Such a girl was really rare to find in the world. Whether it was words or deeds or a look, it made people feelfortable. Even they liked to stay by the side of such a girl.
Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li were ignorant of Lan You Nian, so seeing that Lan You Nian entered the box and had yet to remove her veil, Yu Liu Li curiously asked, Since youve arrived in the box and there is no lecher here, why doesnt Miss Lan take off the veil?
When this was said, except for Jing Wu An who was also bewildered, everyone else all silenced. Lan Mo Xian was the first to get angry, his little sister....
Dont know what is Yu zhuangzhus meaning? Lan Mo Xians words already carried some impulsiveness, but he was first a brother, then the subordinate of Ming wang. Yu Liu Li really felt he was treated unjustly. He just really liked this little sister. She was so clean, seemingly untainted by the dust of the mortal realm, so he just casually asked a question. Why do they all use such murderous gazes to look at him?
Feng Yi Xuan was more direct. He simply picked up a teacup and using internal force to smash it into Yu Liu Lis mouth. There was no trace of mercy. Yu Liu Li, no matter what else you say, was the worlds first vis zhuangzhu. How could he be so easily injured? He swiftly left the seat to dodge the teacup. This was the first time, since bing friends, that Feng Yi Xuan struck out at him.
Lan You Nian pinned down Lan Mo Xian who was prepared to continue vent his fire and He Chu Yang who was prepared to fight and smiled slightly, Yu zhuangzhu please dont be offended. Older brothers temper is impulsive. There is no other meaning. Its just that everyone knows this youngdys looks is disfigured, so when Yu zhuangzhu asked this question, older brother is worried about Nianer so he acted like this. Hope Yu zhuangzhu will be forgiving!
When Yu Liu Li and Jing Wu An heard this, they were instantly stunned. They didnt expect such a wonderful girls face was disfigured. But what they admired even more is that this Lan You Nian, when talking about her disfigurement, there was no sadness or embarrassment. Such a disposition was really admirable. Women pay a lot of attention to appearance. The women they have met, which one didnt know nothing but to dress up every day? When was there ever such a broad-minded girl who didnt care about the appearance?
I am very sorry. It is Liu Li who was brusque! Yu Liu Li was the master of a vi. When has he ever apologized to a woman before? If it wasnt for the fact that Lan You Nian was pleasing to his eyes, he probably wouldnt even talk to Lan You Nian. This is probably the atmosphere between people. There were some people who one seemed to inexplicably like without any reason.
Lan You Nian smiled faintly but didnt say anything. She wasnt disfigured in the first ce, so she wouldnt be sad. And even if her face was ruined, she was not a woman of ancient times who was dependent on a man. She had her own thoughts and life, so looks to her were not important.
Next time if it happens again, get out! Although Feng Yi Xuan knew that Nian Nian didnt care about these things, he still felt distressed for her. His heart felt distressed for no reason.
Feng Yi Xuan, how can you be like this? Even if Miss Lan is your subordinates little sister, your control really extends too far. When have you been so kind!? Yu Liu Li was very dissatisfied with his good friend. He abandoned him so quickly and even attacked him.
Noisy! Feng Yi Xuan didnt even nce at Yu Liu Li and brought the newly arrived pastry in front of Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian didnt hesitate to enjoy it.
Yu Liu Lis eyes didnt blink as he stared at Lan You Nian. When Feng Yi Xuans finger twitched, prepared to continue bash his good friend, Yu Liu Li asked, Lan You Nian, I feel you are familiar ah! Have I met you before?
When this was said, even Jing Wu An gave him a contemptuous look, Yu Liu Li, dont make a fool of yourself. Didnt you see Yi Xuans face? Do you want to die? Jing Wu An was really afraid Feng Yi Xuan will kill Yu Liu Li. After all, in this short time, Jing Wu An already could tell Feng Yi Xuans different treatment of this little girl.
Perhaps Yu zhuangzhu remembers wrong. This girl has never seen Yu zhuangzhu, Lan You Nian said patiently.
Yu Liu Li meticulously pondered. When he heard Lan You Nians voice, his eyes shined, You are Miss Miao Yin right? Right?
Chapter 51
51 Miss Miao Yin
December 21, 2018
secretdreamwishes
The people in the private box were stunned, really stunned, apart from the excited Yu Liu Li, Feng Yi Xuan who only paid attention to Lan You Nian, and Lan You Nian who maintained herposure.
Oh? Dont know how does Yu zhuangzhu say this? Lan You Nians voice was still clear and melodious but the people in the box blinked because Lan You Nian did not deny it.
You Liu Lis eyes brightened, I am the loyal admirer of Miss Miao Yin. Every time Miss Miao Yin makes a debut, I will go. I know the voice of Miss Miao Yin very well, so I know that you are very likely Miss Miao Yin.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard You Liu Li saying the word admirer, his cold air was already released. If it wasnt for Lan You Nian, he would freeze You Liu Li into dregs.
Lan You Nian never deliberately concealed her own voice so if people listened carefully, they will realize that her voice was the same as that of Miss Miao Yin, just like Feng Yi Xuan who confirmed her identity just by listening to her song. Moreover, whether it was identity or status, concerning the several people here, she couldnt contend with them openly. It was even moremendable that these people were not malicious towards her. Besides, only the identity of Miss Miao Yin being known will not hinder her in any way.
jun shan yin zhen tea
Yu zhuangzhu has a good ear. However, it is only a little bit worse than Ming wangs, Lan You Nian took a sip of hot tea. She had to admit, this Feng Yi Xian was pretty wealthy. The tea being served was jun shan yin zhen*, it can be said to be very difficult to buy even with one liang. Even she only just scarcely obtained a little with difficulty. But it seems that this Feng Yi Xians doesnt care about these.
Is it really you? I finally met you! You dont know how much effort I spent but I didnt even see your face... Yu Liu Li rambled until he suddenly looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Yi Xuan, you already knew?
Earlier than you! Feng Yi Xuan steeped tea for Lan You Nian and didnt even spare You Liu Li a nce. However, this one sentence choked Yu Liu Li into not knowing what to say
You? Yu Liu Li felt that he made friends really carelessly. He obviously knew that Miss Miao Yin was his goddess, but he didnt say anything even after he knew. He even caused him to be unable to maintain a good impression in front of his goddess.
Jing Wu An gazed at Lan You Nian with a hint of appreciation. The woman who can write that kind of song was actually so young. This girl was really admirable. She definitely will not be a mediocre person in the future.
Feng Xia Qi, ever since hearing Miss Miao Yins song, he like Yu Liu Li was mad about that sagacious girl. But that woman was now in front of him. No wonder the younger brother who doesnt give a good face to anyone would pay special regard to her.
Meanwhile what Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang were thinking was, how could their little sister be Miss Miao Yin? Was her life before too arduous and without any money? In Zhen Wei Pavilion, will she be bullied when on stage? Will the owner of Zhen Wei Pavilion make trouble for little sister?
However, Feng Yi Xuan didnt care what the people in the box were thinking. Looking at the sky and seeing it was gettingte, he asked, Are you hungry? Do you want to eat first?
Perhaps because every time Feng Yi Xuan spoke to her like this, Lan You Nian didnt think there were any problems and was already ustomed to it. But for the others, hearing the gentleness and the hints of pampering in Feng Yi Xuans tone, they were unable to ept it. Can you imagine the stony-faced king of hell being warm? It wasnt any less astounding than the sun rising from the west. In the days toe, they realized, that indifferent unfeeling man gave all of his gentleness to that woman.
Alright! Lan You Nian considered that she seemed to be really hungry, but she didnt notice, she was ustomed to Feng Yi Xuan. However, Feng Yi Xuan noticed this. Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with pleasure.
Lan Mo Xian, seeing Ming wang treating his little sister so gently, his heroic eyebrows wrinkled. He seemed to feel there was something wrong, but he couldnt discern what was wrong. For some reason, he felt this was not appropriate. Perhaps because of Lan You Nians young age, no one thought in that direction.
When Lan You Nian was eating, she will always reveal a corner of the veil. Her appearance while eating was very elegant. It gave others a pleasure just seeing her eat. It was not like the kitten-like appearance of the youngdies of noble families. She ate very casually, seemingly eating was a very happy thing. After Feng Yi Xuan delivered dishes to Lan You Nian several times and had a little understanding of Lan You Nians taste, so he continued to add to Lan You Nians te without stopping.
Yu Liu Li looked dazedly at Lan You Nian. It was honestly because the goddess of his heart was so close, his heart was very excited. Miss Lan, when will go to Zhen Wei Pavilion again? You dont know, its such a pity you only sing one or two songs a year!
Lan You Nians appetite wasnt big. After eating some, she put the chopsticks down and delicately wiped the corners of her mouth, If there is an opportunity, I can y a song for everyone!
For those who had not malicious and were powerful people, Lan You Nian, if it was possible not to offend, then she will definitely not offend. Meanwhile, these people present quite suited her own taste. If they can be friends, it would be quite nice.
Really? There are opportunities, there is definitely an opportunity! This time, not only was Yu Liu Li excited, even Jing Wu An and Feng Xia Qi were super excited. After all, that day Lan You Nians Boundlesswas indeed awe-inspiring to peoples hearts, not something normal people canpare.
Looking at his several good friends gazing at Nian Nian with eyes emitting brightness, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel good, and chilling spit out the words, Eat!, but his heart was thinking about when to let Nian Nian only y the zither for him, only him.
After eating, the several people chatted. They were shocked to find Lan You Nians knowledge were even more unique than them these men. For Jing Wu An, it was like finding a treasure. Its really that a confidant was difficult to find but now Lan You Nian, in Jing Wu Ans eyes, was evidently his own confidant.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The splendid fireworks burst in the sky over thewn in the south of the city. Beams of dazzling lights shot into the sky. Each one of the beams suddenly exploded, golden, silver, red, green, blue, star-like flowers flew everywhere, like blossoming shes of chrysanthemums, dazzlingly brilliant. Too beautiful! Too beautiful!
When the fireworks exploded in the silent night sky, bursting forth with colorful magnificence, it made people forget the tremendous sound it made when it exploded, forgetting the silence of the night sky, the majesty before the destruction, just to leave a beautiful shadow until it was reduced to flying ashes and smoldering smoke. Blooming, disappearing in only a matter of an instant, leaving behind the beauty of a memory!
The several people stood on the third floors window admiring the fireworks. In Feng Xia Qi and the others eyes was wonderment while Lan You Nian, looking at blooming fireworks all over the sky, there was no trace of pleasure in her eyes. In the box, the only one who didnt look at the fireworks was Feng Yi Xuan whose gaze was only on Lan You Nian. He was watching that pair of beautiful zed ss eyes set off with splendid fireworks. At this time, Lan You Nians beauty moved the strings of the heart. Lan You Nian didnt know that while she was watching the scenery, she had be the most beautiful scenery in Feng Yi Xuans eyes!
So beautiful! He Chu Yang sighed after the fireworks were over. They have been in the military camp for so many years, how could they see these romantic things?
Indeed, it is very beautiful! Feng Yi Xuan said looking at Lan You Nian, its unknown if he was saying the fireworks were beautiful or was saying the girl standing beside him was beautiful.
Lan You Nian stood at the open window without anyment. Fireworks were the mostmon thing in modern times but in this ancient times without entertainment, it was a shocking and beautiful thing. Lan You Nian now seemed to feel that everything in the past was like a dream. It seems that it happened yesterday, at the same time it seems to be in the distant past.
Nianer meimei, do you like it? Lan Mo Xian turned back to ask his younger sister. After all, the biggest reason was to bring younger sister out to rx today. Hearing Lan Mo Xians question, the several big men all turned to Lan You Nian. At first, they thought they would see Lan You Nians happiness and pleasure but didnt expect Lan You Nian to still look impassive. There wasnt even a slight change in the angle of her eyebrow.
Not bad, the fireworks are beautiful that its too fake, vanishing within moments. As Lan You Nian looked at the sky that has regained its ckness, her eyes swept through unknown sorrow.
Feng Yi Xuans brows furrowed. He didnt like seeing Nian Nian looking unhappy. He liked her unbridled happiness, but he didnt have any right to go do anything right now. He will let Nian Nian get used to him, then under his wings, live without restraint.
If life can be like a firework bursting in the vast sky, spending all its energy to bloom just once, that is also a beautiful thing, Jing Wu An looked at Lan You Nian who was like a younger sister andforted her. Feng Xia Qi told him about this girls past while they were eating; it made people feel protective of her. But this girl was now so strong, so strong it was beautiful.
Haha, indeed worthy of being our Feng countrys most unconventional military advisor! Lan You Nian praised. If not because todays countries were not very stable, such a man should be longing for a wandering life.
Thank Miss Miao Yins praise. If there is a chance, how about Miss Lan y a song for this young master? Dont know what will Miss Lan sing? Jing Wu An really liked this girl who was much younger than him. Their atmosphere was very well-suited.
Sing for me first! Feng Yi Xuan tossed Jing Wu An far away from Lan You Nians side, as if a loyal guard guarding its food. It instantaneously made Lan You Nians eyes curve.
Yi Xuan, when did you like these things? That day, I dragged you to Zhen Wei Pavilion, didnt you... Yu Liu Li hasnt finished yet, Feng Yi Xuan directly threw Yu Liu Li out from the window. The action was quick and decisive.
Yu Liu Li, with his qinggong, flew back in from the window but the movement still attracted some people. Among them were the two sisters Lan Ya Ya and Lan Zhi Zhi who came to see the fireworks. The two sisters heard there would be fireworks tonight, so they came to the south of the city earlier to wait, but there was already no more space left. They could only stand in the sea of people to watch the rare beautiful fireworks.
The ce they stood was just below the restaurant. The movement upstairs made the two people unconsciously look up. It was that one look that made the two sisters red-eyed. The third sister they looked down on stood at the third floors window. Normal people were not allowed to enter this restaurants third-floor. Beside third sisters stood Feng countrys two wangye, fourth wangye and Ming wang. Granted, no one dares to provoke Ming wang, but fourth wangye, who knows how many admirers he had in the capital. However, every time fourth wangye was polite but alienated, but now fourth wangye treated third sister differently.
Lan Ya Ya and Lan Zhi Zhi headed towards the restaurant. No one stopped them along the way but when the two started towards the third floor, several guards immediately appeared in front of the two. They didnt speak; they simply did not allow the two to go one step further.
This big brother, our third sister is upstairs. We just want to go see third sister, Lan Ya Ya said elegantly, seeming to be just a big sister who cares about her younger sister.
Without masters orders, no one is allowed to enter the third floor! The guards didnt even look at Lan Ya Yas deliberate gestures.
Third sister, how can you not let big sister and second sister enter? Me and big sister are very worried about third sister. After all, a girl and strange men... Lan Zhi Zhis voice was a bit loud. Many people in the restaurant all stretched their necks to look at them.
The people in the box having heard Lan Ya and Lan Zhis words, their faces werent so good. Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to order An Yi to throw the two out but was blocked by Lan You Nian. These two, she didnt go look for them, they actually came knocking at her own door?
I am very sorry for being a bother but can you please invite my two sisters up? asked Lan You Nian after a curtsy.
Although the people did not like the two women downstairs, they considered that if they left them hanging downstairs, it wouldnt be good for Lan You Nians reputation so they could only agree,menting that how could such a girl have such sisters. It was really a world of difference.
Lan Zhi was still ruining Lan You Nians reputation when Lan You Nian suddenly appeared on the stairs, Big sister, second sister, There was no anger or embarrassment from being insulted, still calm like ake.
Third sister, it isnt big sister saying you. Although you have not stayed in the capital, women still have to pay attention to reputation. How can you eat alone with other men in a restaurant? Lan Ya took out her handkerchief and wiped her worried tears deliberately.
When everyone heard this, they felt that Lan You Nian had no sense of shame. Obviously from the countryside, she couldnt be seen in public. She actually met strange men in a restaurant alone. In a blink of an eye, everyones gaze on Lan You Nians was filled with contempt.
Lan You Nian didnt seem to see everyones gaze, still with a smile on her brows, What is big sister talking about? I only came to see fireworks with older brother!
Lan Ya and Lan Zhi look at each other. They clearly didnt see Lan Mo Xian moments ago. They only saw Ming wang and fourth wangye and one unfamiliar young master who they didnt know, so Lan You Nian must be lying.
Third sister, you, when did you learn to lie? Lan Ya looked at Lan You Nian incredulously and seemed to feel very sad at Lan You Nians thoughtlessness.
Now the people in the restaurant were all confused. Who was telling the truth? But most of them still believed Lan Ya and Lan Zhi. After all, the two have lived in the capital for so long, knew a lot of officials and nobles, and the two usually acted very virtuous.
Lan You Nian didnt speak, just watching the two clowns pretentious act. She finally saw the real version of white lotus flower, but this white lotus gave off a stinky odor. It was really disgusting.
Third sister, why arent you talking? Big sister isnt ming you, just concern about you. I dont want you to take the wrong path, Lan Ya continued to pretend to be a white lotus, the tears flowing like worthless money.
Dont know howe two younger sisters are bullying Nianer meimei? On the stairs appeared a good male voice.
Chapter 52
52 Humiliate Lan Familys Two Sisters
December 21, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang stood on the stairway, their expressions sharply looking at Lan Ya and Lan Zhi. They never liked these two younger sisters, or perhaps, they simply never regarded these two women as younger sisters. They never had the desire to kill them, but now, they felt the desire to kill.
The sister they wanted to protect was ckened by these two women. Pretentiously posturing letting their Nianer meimei be wronged. Such people made Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang disgusted.
Big brother, cousin brother! Lan Ya and Lan Zhi both panicked. They did not expect Lan You Nian actually came with the two brothers. This time, they really said the wrong words.
I dont have sisters like you. Cousin brother and I were just taking Nianer meimei to watch the fireworks and have a meal. How did we be strange men? Lan Mo Xians voice was magnified. Could it be that two younger sisters dont even recognize your own familys brothers?
Now, the surrounding eavesdropping people all understood. These two Lan manors sisters were bullying the little sister who just returned! Even when going out with her older brothers to see a banquet, she was so discredited by her own older sisters. Moreover, the two young misses from Lan manor were so hypocritical. How many people before thought Lan Ya and Lan Zhi were sensible, now thats how many people thought that these two were hypocritical. They loathed these two even more than they loathed Lan You Nian seconds ago. After all, no one likes deception.
But younger sister really did see strange men. Lan Zhi said unconvinced.
I really dont know how An yiniang teaches. It turns out, Lan manors two concubine-born daughters are actually socking in manners. You clearly know Nianer is your younger sister but still try to find ways to stain ck Nianer meimeis reputation. It is good upbringing indeed! No matter how good the temper of He Chu Yang was, encountering women like Lan Ya and Lan Zhi, he did not have any gentlemans grace.
Cousin brother, La Ya was really red-eyed now. After all, He Chu Yang said those words without a trace of mercy. Many people in the restaurant recognized the two sisters and started to point at them. After all, if they acquired a reputation of suppressing their younger sister, then afterwards in the capital, they will definitely be held in disdain.
I cant afford to be called your cousin brother. I only have one younger sister and that is Nianer. I dont want to have such a sister to smear my reputation behind my back! He Chu Yang didnt even give Lan Ya an opportunity to exin. These words were tantly pping Lan Ya and Lan Zhis face.
Lan Mo Xian looked at He Chu Yang who was deliberately smearing the reputation of Lan Ya and Lan Zhi. His eyes shed with rejoicing in the others cmity. Since they treated Nianer meimei like this, then its best to let them have a taste of their own medicine. Its good enough that he didnt go add more fire. So, when Lan Ya looked in his direction to ask for help, Lan Mo Xian ignored it.
After He Chu Yang finished lecturing Lan Ya and Lan Zhi, Lan You Nian stood out. The soft and warm voice seemed to bring a hint of coolness, so lovely that it could capture anyones ears, Does the two sisters have no ce? How about sitting together with younger sister upstairs!
Lan You Nians action was generous and in good taste. There was no trace of resentment for the things that just happened. This was the bearing that Lan manors legitimate daughter should have. Compared to the attitude of Lan Zhi and Lan Ya, everyone was biased towards Lan You Nian. They felt that although Lan You Nian didnt grow up in Lan manor, her etiquette was much better than Lan manors two young misses.
Lan Zhi was prepared to say something to harass Lan You Nian. She has been bullying Lan You Nian too much since she was a child, even if she feels that Lan You Nian changed a lot, but she still believed Lan You Nian was still that little girl she could easily abuse. Lan Ya held back her younger sister, not allowing her younger sister to be impulsive. There were several handsome young masters upstairs, even two wangye were there. Since there was an opportunity to get close to fourth wangye, how can they waste this opportunity!
Many thanks to third sister! Lan Ya curtsied. It seemed the one ndering people wasnt her at all. Lan You Nian didnt care and with the two brothers headed up to the third floor. Lan Ya and Lan Zhi, hearts filled with excitement, followed up.
As soon as Lan You Nian entered the box, Yu Liu Li scurried over, Miss Lan, how can you have such brainless older sisters?. Even before meeting Lan You Nian, Lan You Nian was already Yu Liu Lis goddess. Now that he has met her, he realized his goddess was so small, so in addition to worship, there was more tenderness.
Hehe... The clear and melodious sound suddenly sounded,ughter like silver bells. Looking at that pair of crescent moon eyes and that lyricalughter, the corner of Feng Yi Xuans mouth tugged into a faint smile that wasnt quite a smile. He will try very hard to make this girl happy forever.
This clean and unpretentiousughter made others feel joy. Jing Wu An came to Lan Mo Xians side, You have the best younger sister! He also wished to have such a lovely yet sensible and cheerful yet refined younger sister.
But I...am not a good brother, Lan Mo Xian looked at theughing younger sister. He couldnt help feeling guilty. Even now, he didnt know what his sister has experienced. Why did she end up in Zhen Wei Pavilion? Why was she sometimes so quiet like a deste elder?
As long as you are a good brother in the future, itll be fine. I will be a good brother too! He Chu Yang sped Lan Mo Xians shoulder andforted him. This younger sister toiled too much so from now on, they will protect her.
Third sister, The beautiful atmosphere was broken by the deliberately delicate voice of Lan Ya. The people of the box all subconsciously frowned. Lan You Nians voice was natural and pure at any time, soft and glutinous like it was scratching your heart but Lan Yas voice was squeezing her vocal cords deliberately forcing it out. It made others displeased when hearing it.
Ah! Fourth wangye, Ming wang, every young master, give regards, Lan Ya and Lan Zhi seemed to have just realized the others in the box. Their faces slightly reddened and slightly bent their knees to curtsy.
But there was no one who helped them like in their imagination. There werent even the words of forego formalities. Lan Ya and Lan Zhi could only stiffen their bodies to keep the body in the same manner of curtsying. The people in the box did what they were doing before and didnt even look at the two people at all.
Third sister, Lan Ya knew the people in the box wont say anything so called for Lan You Nian. Her voice contained inexplicable threats, like the little Lan You Nian of the past who they threatened day and night, beaten and bullied but was not allowed to tell father.
The two young misses can get up! Feng Xia Qi wore the same smiling face as before but there was no warmth. That kind of smile was like Lan You Nians first impression of a smiling fox. She honestly doesnt know how Feng Yi Xuan that guy with facial paralysis could have such a brother.
Thank fourth wangye! Lan Ya got up and deliberately shifted to Feng Xia Qis side. Lan You Nian, seeing this, wanted tough. Feng Xia Qis eyes shed with ridicule. Not only was it Lan You Nian, but the others also wore an expression of seeing a good y as they watched at Feng Xia Qi.
Feng Xia Qi looked at Lan You Nian who was obviously watching a spectacr y, the more and more he felt that Lan You Nian was more like his own little sister than those princesses in the pce. There was no calctions and deliberate pleasing. They can freely joke and chat casually. His younger brother obviously liked this girl very much. He probably treated this out-of-the-ordinary girl like a little sister. After all, in that ce, how could there be any familial affection.
There is no need for such courtesy outside, Feng Xia Qi walked back to his brothers side. Lan Ya still wants to follow, but when she was still a few steps away from Feng Yi Xuan, An Yi suddenly threw a palm at Lan Ya and tossed her away.
If it was not the right time, Lan You Nian will definitely openly praise it. An Yi did well! Towards white lotus flower, they must be ruthless, give a ruthless blow! However, even if Lan You Nian did not make a sound, the amusement in her eye was discerned by the others. Feng Yi Xuan, seeing Lan You Nian was happy, he actually went hands-on, again smashed towards Lan Zhi with a palm. They didnt really injure her. After all, if they wanted to hurt people, it would be too easy. They just wanted to make this little girl happy, thats all.
Lan Ya and Lan Zhi, stunned, suddenly knelt down. After all, Ming wangs prestigious reputation, even they, women of the boudoir, were aware of. Ming wang killed people without blinking, his temperament was unclear. No one at court dared to casually provoke him, let alone is is legendary that Ming wangs eyes were like a devils in the past. Now even if the color of Ming wangs eyes is now normal, they still gave people a cold feeling. It was well known that Ming wang abhors women. The two of them have be befuddled. They only remembered fourth wangye but forgot Ming wangs taboo.
Ming wang... Lan Ya and Lan Zhi repented in their hearts. Lan Ya looked back at Lan You Nian, Third sister, will you ask mercy from Ming wang?
Wu.... Lan You Nian blinked her gleaming big eyes. The people in the box felt their hearts skip a beat seeing her twinkling eyes, Big sister, second sister, what are you going to do if your skirt is ripped? Lan You Nian seemed so curious as she pointed at the skirt behind Lan Ya and Zhis butt.
Ah Lan Ya and Lan Zhi were anxious not knowing what to do because they were kneeling so they couldnt see the hole in their skirt. Because they were anxious, they stood up. Lan You Nian gave He Chu Yang a look. He Chu Yang used qinggong to fly down and brought back two cloaks to drape over Lan Ya and Lan Zhi.
The two young misses better go back first, Feng Xia Qi held back a smile. Everyone in the room saw Lan You Nians mischief. In reality, their clothes were not ripped at all.
Lan Ya and Lan Zhi immediately left after a curtsy. When leaving the box, Lan You Nian suddenly called out, Big sister, second sister!
Although Lan Ya and Lan Zhi were furious and wanted to kill Lan You Nian, at this time, there were outsiders, the two in order to maintain their image, still stopped and looked back at Lan You Nian with gentle smiles. The amusement in Lan You Nians eyes was more intense, Oh, nothing.
The two ground their teeth and turned back ready to leave, but Lan You Nians voice came again, Younger sister only wanted to ask the two sisters, there is a hole on your butt, will it be cold, will the wind go in?
Dong! Lan Ya actually rolled straight down the staircase from the third floor. The people in the box suddenly burst intoughter. Even the corner of Feng Yi Xuans mouth tugged. Looking at Lan You Nian with a bright expression, his eyes revealed a touch a warmth and determination.
Miss Lan, howe you have such a naughty moment? Yu Liu Li seemed to have discovered something remarkable. Such a Lan You Nian made people feel more approachable.
Am I as naughty as Yu zhuangzhu? Dont think I didnt see you really opened a hole in the back when they fell down! Lan You Nian chuckled in reply. Originally Lan Ya and Lan Zhis clothes was not damaged at all, but when one person tumbled down the stairs, the other person anxiously assisted her, Yu Liu Li actually used internal strength to directly open a hole directly behind the two.
That, isnt that to vent anger for Miss Lan? Yu Liu Li said ufortably. After all, doing so it doesnt seem really honorable, but he was originally from the martial arts society, there werent so many rules. Now thinking of it, he felt a little embarrassed.
Oh stop it, you just wanted to y. Dont use Miss Lan as an excuse! Feng Xia Qi directly exposed.
As a matter of fact, unconsciously, all the people except Feng Yi Xuan have regarded Lan You Nian as a younger sister. This was something that has never happened before. Their guarded nature was very heavy. Lan You Nian was the same. But the fate of the world was like this, there were not so many reasons, simply trusting, simply getting along merrily. Feng Yi Xuans goal wasnt to be only a friend but seeing Lan You Nian has put down her heavy guard against him, Feng Yi Xuan felt he has taken another step forward.
Chapter 53
53 Flute and Zither Ensemble Under the Moon
December 21, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Silvery white moonlight sprinkled on the ground. You Nian Pavilion was peaceful but not silent. The fragrance of the night permeated the air, weaving into a soft, covering all the scenery inside. Everything that came in contact with the eyes was all covered by this soft-like thing. Whether it is grass or wood, they were all not as realistic as it was during the day. They all possessed some vagueness, an illusionary hue. Each one hid its meticulous feature, all guarding their own secrets. It made people have a dreamlike feeling.
Maybe because she met some people with agreeable personalities and whom she can get along with during the day, Lan You Nian was in a good mood. Sitting in the courtyard, wearing a slightly thin ruqun, she brewed a cup of flower tea for herself, enjoying this rare moment of peacefulness.
A burst of wind whisked by. In front of Lan You Nian sat a tall man. Lan You Nian herself was very curious, for, in the first moment, she actually could guess this person was Feng Yi Xuan. There was a kind of spider lily fragrance that was perplexing on Feng Yi Xuan. This kind of fragrance also carried Feng Yi Xuans own unique vor. It was very special. Lan You Nian remembered it very clearly.
Feng Yi Xuan wore a bright and sumptuous tribute satin. It was not only as beautiful as the radiance reflected in the moonlight, but alsofortable and elegant when worn on the body. The form was extremely beautiful. The hair was bound up in a tall topknot. Hair that was long like flowing water cascaded along the back. Slightly lowering his head to look at Lan You Nian, he smiled faintly. Its beauty was regardless of gender, such soul-stirring allure.
Because of Feng Yi Xuan unceremonious appearance, he rmed the guards of You Nian Pavilion. Seeing the guards rushing in this direction, Lan You Nian waved her hand. Zhang Lin instantly understood his familys young misss meaning and with the guards, returned to their respective posts to secure You Nian Pavilion.
Feng Yi Xuan took the flower tea Lan You Nian brewed for herself and took a sip. His eyes lit up, Delicious!
Thats mine! Lan You Nian recalled that she had just used the cup to drink. Moreover, that was her own private cup. Now Feng Yi Xuan used it directly, isnt this an indirect kiss? Pei! What is she thinking about?
Oh, Feng Yi Xuan nced at the cup in his hands. He wanted to say because it was yours so he took it but seeing Nian Nians face did not look very good, Feng Yi Xuan corrected his words, identally picked up the wrong one!
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian who apanied him. Although the flower tea was really tasty, it seems that because of such a person, even his heart has be sweet. After drinking a cup, he handed the cup to Lan You Nian, More!
Lan You Nian had an urge to smash the cup on Feng Yi Xuans head. But in light of the others strength, she endured, though she did not brew tea for Feng Yi Xuan. However, Feng Yi Xuans pair of intense eyes stared at Lan You Nian just like. The meaning was very obvious. Make tea!
How could Lan You Nian ever imagine that the dignified and noble Ming wang was actually like this? She still remembered when she saw this man for the first time. It was only a back view and yet it still gave her a great pressure. Bloodthirsty and arrogant was the Feng Yi Xuan of that time. But how much time has it been that hes changed?
Gloomily resuming making tea for Feng Yi Xuan, so Lan You Nian did not see the smile that shed within Feng Yi Xuans eyes. He didnt like Nian Nians faceless expression directed at him. That kind of Nian Nian made him feel so distant. So he wanted to give her the best, sometimes teasing her, seeing her cute and vivid expression.
Although very dissatisfied that the man across from her was such a bully, Lan You Nian, based on the condition that this man did not have any malicious intentions, still brewed a cup of flower tea for Feng Yi Xuan.
Why has Ming wange here tonight? Lan You Nians voice was distant. This man was really too insolent. Is there anyone else who would trespass a womans boudoir almost every day like this? Fortunately, she was not an ancient person, otherwise, this innocence could not be saved.
You said you can y the zither! Feng Yi Xuans subdued and elegant sitting posture, as if like the posture of the earth and heaven get old, implying all his affections that he cannot express.
I didnt say I will y the zither for Ming wang! Lan You Nian felt that there was absolutely a barrier in theirmunication. Is this person sent by the heavens to punish her?
You didnt say you wont y the zither for me! Feng Yi Xuans clear eyes reflected dazzling light as if they were crushed stars and moon, absolutely soul-stirring.
Under that kind of gaze, dont know why but Lan You Nian couldnt say anything to refuse. Just as she was prepared to go back to get the zither, she was intercepted by Feng Yi Xuan. A female shadow guard in ck appeared in the courtyard. This females aura was simr to that of Lan Fengs but obviously not as frosty as Lan Feng because, at the moment, An San looked at Lan You Nian with a worshipping gaze.
Lan You Nian watched the shadow guard in front of her carrying a peerless fine zither but did not give the zither to her. Instead, she looked at her with delight. Why is that look a little lewd?
An San! Two words from Feng Yi Xuan made An San shudder. She just really liked this soft little girl, thats all. She identally revealed her true nature. Dont know if the future mistress will dislike her? What to do?
Tee-hee-hee, Miss Lan, I am An San. This is the zither that master has this subordinate bring to you! An San usually did not have a lot of words, only when in front of her own people, is it otherwise. But now in front of Lan You Nian, in order to leave a good impression for the mistress, An San can be said to be very amicable.
Lan You Nian gently smiled and nodded. She noticed that the people around Feng Yi Xuan were all very lively. She really didnt know how such lively subordinates would have such a frosty master.
This was a pitch-ck zither. It was much more expensive than her own zither. Lianzhu* styled zither, fully shaped, ckcquered surface, with fine flowing-water marking patterns. If she didnt guess wrong, this was the famous Gentle Water Zither. Gentle Water Zither was the top three on the list of musical instruments. Its unknown how many people who loved musical instruments who wish to look upon it with reverence but didnt expect it to be in Feng Yi Xuans hands.
Lan You Nian genuinely loved musical instruments. Seeing such a precious zither she inevitably felt some delight. She calmed her mind and sat in the courtyard, Zheng Lan You Nians delicate jade hand brushed the strings of the zither. The old but moving music was heard. Lan You Nian praised inside, outstanding zither!
The zither string fluttered under her hands. It made people unable to count how many strings there were. That zither music was sometimes like trickling creek sliding out from her fingertips, and sometimes like the galloping waves surging from the zither, letting the listener forget the time, forget space. The sound of Lan You Nians zither had an indescribable feeling of sorrow, seemingly there was a full belly of heartache with nowhere to go. Feng Yi Xuan watched the girl under the night immersed in the music, he took out a jet-ck flute he carried with him. The soft sound of the flute joined with the symphony.
Gentle Water Zithers music was peaceful and fair, catching the serenity of the flute, it was even more moving. The sound of the zither gradually rose in pitch; however, the sound of the flute slowly sank down, but the flute was low and constant, just like gossamer drifting in the wind, but it was endless, even increasing the soul-stirring moment.
Lan You Nian slightly opened vermillion lips, the mourning lyrics floated in You Nian Pavilion
ҶDead Leaf Butterfly sung by Xu Yi Na
A small little dead leaf butterfly, fluttering in the woods, with its protective color,nding on a branch timidly.
Although it is just a dead leaf butterfly, the heart has sparks and warm blood, but the wind and rain is too intense, the small little wings lose color.
Dead leaf butterfly, dead leaf butterfly, once there is no protective color, pale and fragile, fluttering and falling, who can fly together, solitary and lonesome.
Dead leaf butterfly, dead leaf butterfly, the sparks in the heart has been extinguished, when can it take flight, flying towards the cloud and moon of its dreams.
A small little dead leaf butterfly, fluttering in the woods, with its protective color,nding on a branch timidly.
Although it is just a dead leaf butterfly, the heart has sparks and warm blood, but the wind and rain is too intense, the small little wings lose color.
Dead leaf butterfly, dead leaf butterfly, once there is no protective color, pale and fragile, fluttering and falling, who can fly together, solitary and lonesome.
Dead leaf butterfly, dead leaf butterfly, the sparks in the heart has been extinguished, when can it take flight, flying towards the cloud and moon of its dreams.
In the courtyard, only the sound of the zither and flute rose and fell; it was extremely harmonious. After finishing the song, the sound of Lan You Nians zither ended. The sound of the flute also receded. In an instant, all was silent. Only the bright moon shined high up in the sky, imprinting the shadow of the trees on the ground.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian not knowing what she was thinking. The song he just heard, no matter how Nian Nian disguised it, he could still hear that deste grief. He didnt know what his Nian Nian has experienced, but from now on, he will always be by her side, apanying her and guarding her.
Its very nice but I dont like it! Feng Yi Xuan cut off Lan You Nians immersion in her own memories. Lan You Nian recovered herself. She really didnt expect that this mans flute was so good. She assumed he was a warrior that only knew how to fight. Its true that people cant be judged by their looks.
Youre the one who wanted listen, now its also you who doesnt like it. Ming wangs personality is really strange! Lan You Nian rebutted sarcastically. When her gazended on the flute on Feng Yi Xuan, the corner of her mouth twitched. Why are all the good things taken by this man? This flute and the zither in her hands were a pair. It was named Gentle Fire Flute. On the instrument rankings, it was one with her own zither. She didnt expect that these two things were obtained by this man.
You are not happy! Feng Yi Xuan earnestly looked at Lan You Nians eyes and said. It wasnt that he didnt like Lan You Nians music and song; he didnt like Lan You Nians mood.
Lan You Nian looked at that pair of sincere eyes. That pair of eyes were filled with her. She could see her own clear reflection reflected in those eyes. Those pair of eyes seemed to suck her in.
Itste, Ming wang should return! Lan You Nian was surprised by Feng Yi Xuans observation skills. She didnt expect that he could hear her unhappiness.
En, Feng Yi Xuan nodded, and then immediately cradled Lan You Nian and headed inside Lan You Nians boudoir.
What are you doing! Lan You Nian readied her energy to resist, but at this moment, she noticed this mans power was so deep that she couldnt escape this mans arms. Fortunately, however, Feng Yi Xuan only gently ced Lan You Nian onto therge carved bed, gently tucked in the quilt, then said softly, Sleep!
How many years has it been since someone treated her like this before she went to sleep, seemingly like she was a precious treasure being cared for. It seems there has never been. Lan You Nian seemed to have been bewitched. She shut that pair of untainted eyes. For the first time, she slept peacefully in front of an unfamiliar person.
Feng Yi Xuan stood at Lan You Nians bedside for a long time. He listened to Lan You Nians even breathing. He smelled the fragrance of Lan You Nians body that flooded the boudoir. Feng Yi Xuan felt that has he has never been so tranquil these 19 years. This heart seemed to have found a safe haven. This heart was already lost onto Nian Nian. He wasnt willing to take it back. Moreover, he still wanted Nian Nians heart.
Until the dawn of morning, Feng Yi Xuan moved his stiff body and reluctantly left You Nian Pavilion. After Feng Yi Xuan left, Lan You Nian opened her eyes in an instant. She had in fact fallen asleep and it was a night of sweet dreams. There was no longer any of the unbearable past. But as soon as Feng Yi Xuan moved, she already woke up. She didnt expect this man actually stood at her bedside for an entire night, just silently watching her. Lan You Nians heart was slightly chaotic.
Chapter 54
54 Ghost Realm
December 24, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Young miss, Lan Ren who hasnt been seen for many days appeared in front of Lan You Nian, still entirely decked out in ck stealth clothing but he looked more wan and sallow than a few days ago.
Whats wrong? Lan You Nian asked. In fact, although Lan Feng and Lan Ren were her shadow guards, usually many matters of Wu Qing Pavilion had them running errands to take care of.
Some things in Wu Qing Pavilion created friction with Ghost Realm, so ask young miss what to do? Lan Ren waited for Lan You Nian think upon it. Although he made the decision many things in Wu Qing Pavilion, actually when it really came to it, as soon as he encounters delicate matters, he will always ask young miss in advance. Dont look at young misss young age but her thinking was veryprehensive.
Lan You Nian considered Ghost Realm with her eyes closed. Ghost Realm appeared in the pugilistic world eight years ago but when it really became famous was six years ago. Ghost Realm was the number one killer organization on the maind. To simply call it a killer organization, that was notpletely true, because, in Wu Qing Pavilions intelligence, Ghost Realm was also involved in a lot ofmercial matters. Ghost Realm was even more mysterious than Wu Qing Pavilion. Ghost Realm was both righteous and evil for it was amon thing to massacre the entire n. However, to call Ghost Realm a cult, then it is notpletely so. As long as you dont provoke Ghost Realm, usually, Ghost Realm will noty a finger on you or perhaps it was more urate to say, Ghost Realm did things depending on their mood. They were unpredictable.
Lan You Nian seriously pondered on it. Although Wu Qing Pavilions power was very good, it was stillcking inparison. After all, Wu Qing Pavilion has always been involved in matters of intelligence andmerce. Compared to Ghost Realm, its methods were slightly inferior. Moreover, she did not have high ambitions. She created her own forces only to protect herself and her own people, but now, at this moment, to have brushed against Ghost Realm, then Wu Qing Pavilion will have a catastrophe in the future.
Lan Ren, as long as it doesnt harm our interests, give way to Ghost Realm! The tightly closed eyes slowly opened, as resplendent as the stars and moon. Although Ghost Realms power made her unable to fight against it, if they dared to hurt her own people or damage her own interests, then no matter who it is, they cannot stop her. Although Ghost Realm was very strong, if she fought hard enough, dont say both sides end in death, but it can still make Ghost Realm tear off ayer of skin. However, she hoped there was no need to go to that step.
Yes! Lan Ren understands! Lan Ren nodded. Of young misss temper, he understood a little. Usually, she was like the faint wind and clouds, even if thunder struck, she wont move, but if you touched her bottom line, then it was a fight to the death.
Young miss, recently things are unsettled, do you need this subordinate to stay? Lan Ren asked with a bit of worry. After all, he and Lan Feng are often not with young miss. Lan Wu and Lan Qus martial arts werent very good. If something happens, what should they do?
Its no problem. Just let Lan Fenge back on the day the poison activates! Lan You Nian knew Lan Rens worries but Lan You Nian wasnt so fragile. Only on the day the poison activates was she really weak. At other times, she still had absolute ability of self-protection.
Young miss, this is the medicine eldest young master (Gui Yi) asked this subordinate to bring you this month, Lan Ren took out an antique wooden box.
Lan You Nian received the wooden box and opened it. There was a medicine bottle in the wooden box. It contains the medicine that inhibits the bodys poison for this month, but this medicine cant do anything. At the very least it will allow Lan You Nian to retain her sense when the poison activates, make it so that it is not as painful as it did in the beginning, hurting so much she lost all reason.
Zhen Wei Pavilion has just received fresh grapes from outside the border. Go try it first before leaving! Lan You Nian treated her subordinates like her friends, giving them respect and giving them care.
Lan Rens face became not very good. Although young miss cares about him, he was very happy, but can she not hold onto this matter and not let go? This gluttony didnt conform with his own temper ah! After they followed behind young miss, they all recovered their undisclosed nature and became happy, live people.
When Lan Ren was prepared to withdraw, he suddenly saw the Gentle Water Zither on the writing desk, Young miss, that is Gentle Water Zither? Lan Ren asked uncertainly.
When Lan You Nian heard this, she followed Lan Rens gaze and saw, neatly ced on the writing desk was the Gentle Water Zither exuding an ancient aura. She rememberedst night she returned this zither to Feng Yi Xuan but didnt expect this man to not take it with him. It seems she must find a chance to give it back.
En, yes, but its not mine! Lan You Nian didnt hide anything. She didnt need to hide anything from her own people.
Lan Ren, hearing this, instantly had an idea in his mind. As a matter of fact, they have searched for Gentle Water Zither for a long time. After all, young miss is fond of musical instruments. They felt only the best instrument could match with young miss, so the musical instrument ranking lists Gentle Water Zither has always been the most ideal instrument in their hearts. However, they have searched for a long time but have not found even a shadow of Gentle Water Zither. But now Gentle Water Zither actually appeared in front of their own eyes. Although it was not young misss, they still had to find a way to make it belong to young miss.
Lan Ren, dont think too much. I have no intentions towards this zither. Besides, this is Feng countrys Ming wangs. This person isnt easy to provoke, understand? Lan You Nian said sternly. Honestly, these people treated her too well. Whether it was shifu, senior brothers, and them few, they always want to find the best things to give to her. If she didnt remind Lan Ren in advance, if they provoke that man, the consequences will not be good.
Lan Ren embarrassedly rubbed his nose. All his inner thoughts were discerned by young miss, Young miss, Lan Ren understands!
En, as long as you understand! After Lan You Nian finished speaking, she curled up on the soft couch and shut her eyes to rest.
Ming wangfu, Feng Yi Xuan who was up all night didnt even look a little haggard. He sat up straight in the study room dealing with the umted matters.
An San, did you see that Miss Lan yesterday? An Si inquired wanting to gossip. Yesterday, originally, he wanted to follow the master but master, for the first time, had to have An San follow, saying that he looked too scary so he shouldnt scare Miss Lan.
Of course! And I heard Miss Lan ying music. That was really the sound of heaven ah! An San reported everything fromst night. There was a hint of admiration for that Miss Lan. They were not people who only looked at ones appearance. That Miss Lans surrounding aura could parallel masters so how can she be an ordinary person?
Really? Its a pity I didnt go! An Si, speaking of this, was depressed. The three of them all showed their faces in front of Miss Lan. Only he was still unknown. This way, in the future, if Miss Lan entered the manor, he wont have a backing. Moreover, looking at the way master treasures Miss Lan, in the future of the manor, Miss Lan will definitely be the one managing the home.
Xiao Si, let me tell you, Master actually gave Gentle Water Zither to Miss Lan, An San thought masters approach was quite impulsive. After all, Gentle Water Zither is the beloved thing of masters dead empress mother. Master usually wont even touch it. Now, only because Miss Lan loves zither, he actually gave it to Miss Lan.
It seems master is really attentive. Dont know if this is good or bad.... An Si was taken aback. Although they all hoped that master can have someone at his side who can care solicitously for him, but if Miss Lan didnt like master, based on masters stubborn temper, he feared both sides will suffer.
I think you guys worry for nothing. Although masters personality is inconspicuous, but looking at how master treasures Miss Lan, he definitely wont do anything to hurt Miss Lan, An Er suddenly appeared from a dark corner, scaring both An San and An Si that goosebumps came out.
Moreover, in my eyes, in this world, only a woman like Miss Lan is worthy of master, After all, An Er has seen Lan You Nian many times. He has even crossed moves with Lan You Nian. He not only admired Lan You Nians skills and bearing, now, he also admired her title of Miss Miao Yin. Such a young age but could grow up like this after being abandoned for all these years, it really was a perfect match with master.
Its a pity for I heard Miss Lans face is disfigured.... An Si thought of his familys masters striking looks and couldnt helpment.
You, piss off! An San gifted An Si a kick, Is master that kind of superficial person? There are so many beautiful women in the world. Have you ever seen master give them another nce? Moreover, what shit is good looks good for? I really like that Miss Lan. I must help master in pursuing Miss Lan to the manor! An San, just after a single night, regarded Lan You Nian highly and vowed to abduct Lan You Nian into Ming wangfu.
You guys are too idle? An Yi flew in from outside the manor and said sinisterly. He was outside working himself to death while the three of them were actually here gossiping?
No, no! The three people immediately flew back to their own posts, fearfully afraid that An Yi willin to master, then the future days will be utter misery.
Master, An Yi appeared in the study room. Feng Yi Xuan was currently reviewing the thick pad of booklets on the desk. His expression was severe and serious.
What is it? Feng Yi Xuans mien was frosty. It seems to make others dare not approach. Only in front of Lan You Nian would he be that Feng Yi Xuan who knew how tough.
Ghost Realm and Wu Qing Pavilion have shed but Wu Qing Pavilion seems to be deliberately giving way, An Yi simplified his report.
Thats right, Ghost Realm was Feng Yi Xuans force of power. At the age of eleven, Feng Yi Xuan had already begun to create Ghost Realms power. Todays Ghost Realm, nearly nothing in the pugilistic world was able topare. For the Wu Qing Pavilion that popped out three years ago, Ghost Realm always held a wait-and-see attitude.
Since there is no conflict, there is no problem! the brush in Feng Yi Xuans didnt stop. He actually really admires this Wu Qing gongzi for creating Wu Qing Pavilions power in three years. Moreover, on business matters, it was even more innovative. Feng Yi Xuan suddenly remember that Zhen Wei Pavilion was also once of Wu Qing gongzis forces, then doesnt Nian Nian know Wu Qing gongzi? Moreover, for Nian Nian to receive such exalted treatment in Zhen Wei Pavilion, is that also Wu Qing gongzis intervention? Thinking that there was actually such a man at Nian Nians side, Feng Yi Xuans countenance instantly frosted over.
An Yi tried to shrink himself as much as possible. He really didnt understand how his familys master could get angry for no reason at all. The number of times master was angry could be considered little. Now, what is the fuss about?
An Yi, investigate Wu Qing gongzi and Nian Nians rtionship! Feng Yi Xuans voice was full of violence. His Nian Nian is his. Even if in the days of the past there was no him, then, in the future times, he wanted Nian Nians side to only have him.
Chapter 55
55 Return Zither
December 24, 2018
secretdreamwishes
Wangye, there is a servant girl from the generals manor outside to return something, The steward respectfully stood outside the study room from a ce far away and reported. He knew the wangye in the study rooms martial arts is top notch so he could definitely hear it. Moreover, wangyes study room was not a ce just anyone can get close to.
An Si suddenly appeared with some dissatisfaction with why the steward asked such an unnecessary question. Ming wangfu never admits any woman, let alone it was just a servant girl. Has old-age fogged up the stewards mind?
Steward, do you still have to ask the master? Its just a matter of chasing her away. Although An Si was impolite to the steward, if you look carefully, you can see the respect for the steward. They have followed master since they were little. The steward has always been taking care of them since childhood.
An Si ah, do you know who that servant girl belongs to? The steward deliberately kept him guessing. The face of wrinkles was filled with amusement.
Who cares whose servant girl she is. In Ming wangfu, if its a woman, then she cant enter, An Si said, then reconsidered and nced at the An San in the shadows, An San cant be considered a woman!
An San clenched her fists, prepared toe out to teach An Si a lesson. A voice drifted out from the study, Let here in!
An Si was stupefied. He really couldnt understand whats the matter with master. It was obvious to all that master detested women. In the manor, besides the few female cooks in the kitchen, it was all manservants, retainers, and guards. Now, how could a servant girl be allowed to enter the manor?
Before the steward withdrew, he nced at the confused An Si and kindly reminded, That is the personal maidservant of general manors Miss Lan! Ever since the steward knew the wangye he had watched grow up finally had a female he liked, he was so excited that for a few nights he couldnt sleep, continuously crying that Ming wangfu was saved. If the steward didnt control himself, he was ready to tie Miss Lan up and send her directly onto wangyes bed. But in the end, hearing that wangye was very fond of this girl, and knew that this Miss Lan was only thirteen years old, suddenly his old face was dismayed. So young, when will there will a little master ah!?
Miss Lan? An Si, within moments, understood. It turns out to be Miss Lans people, ai, master must really love Miss Lan.
Under the guidance of the steward, Lan Qu in a cyan long dress walked into the lobby of Ming wangfu. Feng Yi Xuan sat up straight in the lobby. The cold air made Lan Qu unable to breathe for a moment. This Ming wang was really powerful.
Ming wang, Lan Qu bent her knees and curtsied. She was unconsciously respectful of Feng Yi Xuan who sat in the lobby. The air around this man carried massacre and iciness. She really didnt know whether young miss and Ming wang knowing each other was good or bad.
Feng Yi Xuan paid no heed to it. He was apathetic in the first ce. The people of Ming wangfu have long been used to it. The steward was afraid it will leave a bad impression on this youngdy who then will go back to tell that Miss Lan. Then that would be bad.
Dont know what this youngdy hase to Ming wangfu for? The steward stood beside Feng Yi Xuan and said with some degree of benevolence.
Lan Qu put down the zither that she carried on her back and opened the packaged zithers wrapping, respectfully said, Young miss said wangye forgot to take away your things, so let this ve bring it over!
Feng Yi Xuan looked up at the Gentle Water Zither ced on the table, considering Lan Qus words. Lan You Nian, the object can be returned, but what about my heart? My heart cant be returned!
After Lan Qu finished sending things and a curtsyter, she was ready to leave, but at this time, Feng Yi Xuans voice sounded. The voice still contained icicles, An San, detain her!
An San, within moments, blocked in front of Lan Qu. The corner of her mouth was still full of smiles, Aiya, so sorry, but I ask this youngdy to stay in Ming wangfu for a while longer. Although An San didnt understand what master wanted to do, their duty was to obey orders.
An Si, inform Nian Nian that her maidservant has be sick in Ming wangfu for some unknown reason. Have here pick her up! Feng Yi Xuans said coldly. In reality, his heart was filled with ferocious anger. Because the result of An Yis investigation is, Wu Qing gongzi and Miss Miao Yin are the perfect couple. Miss Miao Yin cane whenever she liked, leave whenever she wanted in Zhen Wei Pavilion, its all because of Wu Qing gongzis protection. There are even rumored that although Miss Miao Yin doesnt speak with others, only sings, but it was different for Wu Qing gongzi.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard this, he felt his entire body felt ufortable like he was sick. His heart felt suffocated. He knew that rumors were not credible, but he feels that even if it was just linking Nian Nians name with other mens names, it isnt allowed. Nian Nian can walk freely on the third floor of Zhen Wei Pavilion; it can be seen that she was very familiar with Wu Qing gongzi. Otherwise, all the businesses under Wu Qing Pavilion all belonged to Wu Qing gongzi, how could Nian Nian enter? The more Feng Yi Xuan thought the more ufortable he felt. At this time, she actually sent someone to return the zither back, Feng Yi Xuan felt extremely angry.
So, he wants to see her immediately, but since this maidservant was already here, then let Nian Niane to Ming wangfu. After all, he wanted her to see the ce where he lived.
What is Ming wangs meaning? Lan Qus respectful expression became cold. Although she was merely a maidservant, however under the influence of her familys young miss she had her own unyielding character. The steward and others couldnt help but look at Lan Qu with high regard. Even the maidservant was so cool-headed when encountering trouble, it seems that this Miss Lan teaches with proper methods.
Feng Yi Xuan did not answer, or thats to say, he has always not had much to say. An San heard masters instructions and knew that master wanted Miss Lan toe to Ming wangfu. Although the method was quite arbitrary, at least, he made a move. Now she betterfort this maidservant, This youngdy over-thinks. Master has no intention of hurting Miss Lan. Please request this youngdy toe with me.
Lan Qu remembered hearing young miss say that this Ming wang was not malicious, but now...her own martial arts was too weak to beat these people. Young miss once told her no matter what happens they must protect their own lives. Lan Qu nodded and followed An San down.
An Si already flew in the direction of General Lans manor. There were wisps of excitement in his heart. He can finally meet Miss Lan! He must curry favor without fail!
Steward, have the kitchen make some delicious snacks. Its gettingte. Have the kitchen makes some food, rich but light. She doesnt like to eat too greasy things. You go down and prepare it yourself! Feng Yi Xuan thought out loud as he spoke to the steward who was already stupefied standing next to him.
The steward felt that it wasnt easy to live to his age. He can actually see wangye look so caring about someone. Although what wangye ate and wore were the best, but wangye didnt care about these. Now all of this is probably all for that Miss Lan.
The steward hurriedly instructed this, instructed that. One second, he would go to the kitchen and stare at the cooks making snacks. The cooks being watched tremble with fear. They couldnt understand what great personage hase to the manor to make the steward so cautious. The steward one momentter ran to the courtyard to instruct the family retainers to re-sweep the spotless courtyard again. Another moment he ordered the guards in the manor to use qinggong to wipe the que of Ming wangfu. Everyone in the manor who saw this was muddled.
An Er, empty the garden. I am waiting for her there! Feng Yi Xuan left the hall after he finished speaking. Although he was angry, he did not lose his senses. If Nian Nians current identity was known to others, it will probably bring trouble to her, although he would really like to inform the world of his heart.
I must trouble you to pass along a message, Ming wangfus An Si requests to see Miss Lan, An Si did not directly break into You Nian Pavilion. After all, this was their future matriarch. If the matriarch is unhappy, the matriarch is not happy then master isnt happy, the consequences....
After Zhang Lin nodded, he came to the courtyard to report to Lan You Nian.
Oh? Ming wangfus An Si? Lan You Nian thought about it, Lan Qu went to send a zither, for it to actually take so long and still have not returned, she knew in her heart that something must have happened, Let hime in!
An Si, upon entering, saw the girl sitting in the courtyard at first nce. Very young age and petite body, but the surrounding aura couldnt be ignored. That pair of eyes were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. No wonder master would like this Miss Lan so much.
Miss Lans maidservant suddenly fell ill, so is now at Ming wangfu. Master has this subordinate to tell Miss Lan, An Si, saying this, was flustered. Aima, master why didnt you think of a better excuse?
In fact, with Feng Yi Xuans talent, he cane up with a better way that even Lan You Nian would not be able through. But he didnt want to lie to Lan You Nian. In such an angry situation, he used such ame reason, it was only because he cares about her.
How can Lan You Nian not hear An Sis meaning? It seems that Feng Yi Xuan deliberately detained Lan Qu to have her make her way over. Just what does this Feng Yi Xuan want to do? From the first times meeting to the present, he was always like this. He always appeared by her side from to time. Not only is he not malicious but cares about her. Feng Yi Xuan, just what do you want?
I know. Tell Ming wang I will go personally pick up my maidservant, Lan You Nian put emphasis on the word personally.
Lan You Nian knew that at this moment You Nian Pavilion had a lot of people paying attention to it. For example, An yiniang mother and daughter, and that old Madame. So, Lan You Nian did not immediately head to Ming wangfu but briefed on some matters and when night fell, flew over to Ming wangfu.
Around Ming wangfu, ancient trees towered, verdant trees shaded the streets, red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent and magnificent. A vast pce-like building, pitch-ck zed tiles shined with cool light in the moonlight. Hanging above the bright redcquered entrance gate was a ck golden nanmu (Phoebe zhennan) que, lively and vigorous flourishes of three big characters, Ming Wang Manor.
When Lan You Nian appeared on top of the wall of Ming wangfu, An Yi was already waiting there, Miss Lan, master is waiting in the garden for you, finished, he simply led the way.
Ming wangfus garden was built in the inner courtyard of the manor. It took up arge area of space. There are meandering paths inside, with pavilions and multi-floor pavilions. Flowers clustered along the way. Birds sang and flowers burst forth with fragrance. When Lan You Nian arrived, seeing that man standing in the middle of the garden, her heart stirred.

Under the moonlight, even the ck clothes could not hide his heroic bearing that was distinguished above all others. He was born with the kingly bearing of a sovereign descending the world. The handsome and unparalleled facial features seemed to be carved out of marble, with sharp edges and sharp lines, sharp and deep eyes, unknowingly giving people a sense of oppression. When Lan You Nians gaze connected with his, she was speechless.
Its you! Lan You Nian looked at the different Feng Yi Xuan in front of her. Under the moonlight, Feng Yi Xuans eyes were very beautiful, like the deep Prussian blue of the wide, open sea at night, and should be ice-cold and frosty like the sea atte night, but that pair of eyes were not the ck Lan You Nian saw before but purple, deep purple.
That pair of eyes were too beautiful and too unique. Three years ago, in the woods, that injured, poisoned man she lent a helping hand to saving his life. Lan You Nian did not expect the man she saved in the past was the Feng Yi Xuan standing in front of her now.
Lan You Nian looked into those pair of beautiful eyes that were full of indulgence and understood whyCwhich she thought was the first time she saw Feng Yi XuanChe did not hesitate to hurt himself in order to not hurt her. If it were not for that pair of eyes, she most likely would have long forgotten that matter of the past.
Nian Nian, The faint voice carried with it iparably soft sentiments, as if wanting to tightly catch the others heart, I have been looking for a long, long time, so long that I thought it was just a dream. Fortunately, I never gave up, as now, you are in front of my very eyes.
Lan You Nian was truly taken aback. She didnt expect the unintentional act of the past will let his man remember her in his heart. She knew Feng Yi Xuan did not lie to her, because, in those three years, there were indeed people looking for her. But she didnt expect that person to turn out to be Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian earnestly looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She did not call him Ming wang but Feng Yi Xuan. This represents that Lan You Nians heart has already epted him as her friend, At that time, by saving you, I had no other intentions. You dont have to bear it in mind constantly!
Perhaps it was Feng Yi Xuans persistence that made Lan You Nian feel shocked, so at this time, Lan You Nian offered tactful advice. After all, she can tell that Feng Yi Xuan was sincerely good to her. Those who were sincerely good to her, she, Lan You Nian, will also treat them sincerely.
I know. Feng Yi Xuans unmasked eyes burst into an amazing brilliance. How could he not know? At that time, this girl saved him and left without any reluctance. He didnt know why he has searched for her for so many years. Even he was taken aback. But now he finally understood. Perhaps it was destined to be by some unknown powers. Perhaps he, long before, already fell in love with Nian Nian. With many twists and turns, they meet again. This time he will not let her leave right in front of his eyes.
Perhaps because Feng Yi Xuans eyes were too intense, Lan You Nian, under that gaze, couldnt help being dazed for just a moment. The moon was too beautiful tonight. Lan You Nian, at this moment, just noticed Feng Yi Xuans looks was so beautiful, maybe its because...
A sudden waft of an aroma broke Lan You Nian out of her daze. She lightly coughed to conceal her own embarrassment and to conceal the strangeness in her heart.
Hungry? Theres still a bit until dinner. Eat some snacks first! said Feng Yi Xuan indulgently, naturally skipping over the previous topic.
The steward brought over the family retainers and ced the tes of pastries in their hands onto the stone table in the pavilion in the middle of the garden. When he left, that old face stared directly at Lan You Nian. The scrutinizing gaze was not malicious, so Lan You Nian did not pay any attention to it. But she didnt know, at this time, the steward nodded repeatedly in approval. He felt wangye had a good eye. So young yet already had such a temperament. If he didnt start earlier, in the future, it wont be easy to chase. The steward thinking this, rushed to the kitchen, and pressed the cooks in the kitchen to hurry. They cant have Miss Lan going hungry!
Lan You Nian looked at the painstakingly prepared snacks on the table and couldnt help but be amused, You were already prepared?
En! Feng Yi Xuan didnt deny it. He ced the pastries he believed Lan You Nian liked to eat in front of Lan You Nian. Looking at the others that didnt look very nice or believed Lan You Nian didnt like to eat those pastries, he made a mental note that these snacks will not appear in Ming wangfu in the future.
What about Lan Qu? Why did you detain her? Now that Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was the man she saved that year, she more or less knew Feng Yi Xuan will not deliberately make things difficult for Lan Qu. However, towards Feng Yi Xuans such a childish move, she was amused.
Nothing. I know that she is your people. I wont hurt her. I only wanted you to apany me for dinner, Feng Yi Xuan said with lowered eyelids. He really didnt want to admit that he wanted to see Nian Nian because he was eating vinegar (jealous).
En, Lan You Nian also knew Feng Yi Xuan acted entric, so did not think too much on it, believing that Feng Yi Xuan really only wanted her to apany him for dinner.
When Lan You Nian was eating the third piece of pastry, Feng Yi Xuans hand grasped Lan You Nians small hand. Lan You Nians hand can be said to be extremely beautiful, especially after eating the fragrant lotus. The original fine calluses were all gone. The skin was even more delicate and smoother than that of a newborn baby. Nails that were rich in luster, tinted with faint pink color, like the red rose haloed in the drizzle, enchanting and lovely. Holding the seemingly boneless hand, Feng Yi Xuan didnt want to let go. But he knew he shouldnt be so right now. Otherwise, it would be bad if he frightened Nian Nian.
Dinner will be served in just a moment. It wont be good if snacks are over-indulged, When Feng Yi Xuan spoke to Lan You Nian, although the voice still carried his unique coldness, the gentleness and tenderness in it was obvious.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who was like an elder disciplining her and obediently put down the pastry in her hand, breaking her little hand out from Feng Yi Xuans hand. Feng Yi Xuan was very nostalgic of the warm in his hand but seeing Nian Nian seemed to be truly hungry, his face became cold.
An Er, go see what the kitchen is doing! said Feng Yi Xuan dissatisfied.
An Ers mouth twitched. Master, I am a shadow guard ah, not a page boy running errands! However, it was obvious that An Er didnt dare to say this in front of Feng Yi Xuan. Otherwise, he may really be a page boy running errands. Probably only Miss Lan dared to act impudently in front of the master.
Under An Ers intimidation, the kitchen cooks used up all their strength to make the most abundant dinner in the fastest time. When the various dishes were presented, Lan You Nian felt that although she was very wealthy, butpared to Ming wangfu, she really cant be considered rich.
Look look, peony shrimp, crab roe shark fin, hibiscus scallop, steamed red sea bream, de-shelled abalone, etc. Even at the pce feast, these dishes were not so rich. Lan You Nian now feels that Feng Yi Xuan was a dazzling tall, rich, and handsome.
Hungry? Feng Yi Xuan got up and filled a bowl of vegetable soup for Lan You Nian, Its good to drink a bowl of soup before dinner! Feng Yi Xuan will not say anything too sweet, but he did everything he believed was good for Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian epted it. In regard to Feng Yi Xuans good intentions, she epted with pleasure. Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan who was sitting beside her was earnestly picking the fishbones. When Lan You Nian finished the soup, her te already had the de-boned fish meat Feng Yi Xuan added. This kind of thing Feng Yi Xuan did very naturally and earnestly. Its really hard to imagine a noble wangye of the ancient times actually would condescend to pick fishbones for others.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian eating the fish meat he de-boned. He felt very happy. In the first few times when he ate with Lan You Nian, he noticed Lan You Nian didnt touch things like the fish and the like. At first, he thought Lan You Nian didnt like to eat them, butter, he saw that she sometimes ate it, but seemed to dislike it for being too troublesome. Now, seeing Lan You Nian enjoying the fine food, Feng Yi Xuan knew that he had guessed right.
Lan You Nian ate happily. After all, every time she wants to eat fish, she felt it was too troublesome. Now there was someone picking the fishbones for her, Lan You Nian ate to her hearts content. So, under the beautiful moonlight, the two sat in the garden. One person picking fishbones with an indulgent gaze, from time to time adding food to the te of the girl right beside him. One person lowered her head eating her meal with a smile, enjoying the rare delicacies. But all the same, they were both very happy.
After Lan You Nian finished eating, only then did she notice that Feng Yi Xuan who was beside her had not eaten anything,pletely immersed in taking care of her. Lan You Nian instantly felt a little embarrassed. Eating other peoples food made by the other persons cooks and enjoying the service of the master, even now only self-absorbed in eating and forgot the master.
Why didnt you eat? Lan You Nian asked. What she ate today was really the worlds most delicious.
Its good just watching you eat. Are you full? Feng Yi Xuan asked. He felt today Nian Nian ate a lot more, will she get a stomachache? If Nian Nian still wants to eat, should he agree or refuse?
En, Lan You Nian wiped the corner of her mouth, thinking that if there was no veil, she will definitely be even happier. How about next time when she sees Feng Yi Xuan, she will disguise her face. Dont know at that time, when she wears a scarred face facing Feng Yi Xuan, what kind of expression would this man have?
The well-trained family retainers immediately came to clean up the remains of the meal. Within moments, the table was clean. After the steward put the tea set in his hands down, he benevolently nced at Lan You Nian before leaving. Lan You Nian felt this steward was really strange. Why did he always use a gaze like he was looking at his daughter-inw to look at her? Moreover, what was up with the satisfaction in those eyes? You cant me Lan You Nian for not understanding. Although Lan You Nian had a high IQ her EQ was so low it was shameful.
Can you brew a cup of tea for me? Feng Yi Xuan asked with a bit of eagerness. He didnt want let Nian Nian to go back so early.
Alright! Lan You Nian felt that after eating such a delicious meal from the other person, brewing a cup of tea was well-deserved. Moreover, she already considered Feng Yi Xuan her friend.
Took a few green tea leaves and dropped them into the boiling water. Sitting quietly watching the leaves slowly unfurl, floating, submerged in the water. Lan You Nian most beautiful form and years, performing a silent, whirling dance. The physique was delicate, but the posture of brewing tea was exquisite. A short whileter, the tea was finished brewing. The tea soup was clean and clear. Its fragrance and elegance were the reason Lan You Nian loved it.
When Feng Yi Xuans mind was in turmoil, looking at the scene in front of him, he slowly lowered the shackles of his heart and melted under that prolonged moment.
Lan You Nian ced a small cup of tea in front of Feng Yi Xuan. The color of the tea was a warm yellow. Under the slightly cold moonlight, it elegantly giving off wisps of hot air. Through being breathed in through the nose into the heart and spleen, one instantly felt warm. Feng Yi Xuan carefully picked up the teacup, sipped lightly, into the throat, warm and mellow, sweet and thick, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth. Practically at the same moment experiencing the words thick, deep, and profound, and at almost the same time fell in love with the tea Lan You Nian brewed. He doesnt know if it was because of his heart or something else; it seems that the taste of the tea Lan You Nian brewed was always different.
And so, Lan You Nian apanied Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan apanied Lan You Nian. Together they finished drinking a pot of tea. There was nomunication between them, but they didnt feel awkward, instead, they felt warm.

In the stillness of the night, the moonlight was serene. Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girl who sat opposite him. He stretched out a slender hand wanting to stroke the pair of resplendent eyes that wereparable to the sun, but he retracted his hand when he only reached halfway. He considered his self-control to be very good. He has never been so out of control before. It seems that Nian Nian really is his trial of this life, but he dly endures this adversity.
Release Lan Qu. Itste. I should go back, At this moment, Lan You Nian felt that Feng Yi Xuan was like a child. How was he vicious and cold-blooded like the rumors outside?
You ept the zither! Feng Yi Xuan nced at the sky. Indeed, its already quitete. He couldnt dy Nian Nians rest. But remembering that Nian Nian wanted to return Gentle Water Zither, he felt a little miffed. She could ept that Wu Qing gongzis help, then, why couldnt she ept his own things?
Gentle Water Zither is too precious, I cannot ept it! Lan You Nian refused. Although she liked good things and especially liked topete for first-quality goods, however. Feng Yi Xuan this person, not only did she dare not provoke, he also doesnt have any malicious intent towards her. Reap no rewards without merit; she cannot ept. She has her own principle of doing things.
After Feng Yi Xuan listened to Lan You Nians words, his beautiful purple eyes dimmed imperceptibly. He didnt speak, only fixated his stare on Lan You Nian, so stubborn it gave Lan You Nian a headache.
I really cant ept it! Lan You Nian once again refused. How precious Gentle Water Zither was, she knew very well. How can Feng Yi Xuan casually give away such an object?
Then just throw it away! Feng Yi Xuan said like a child that was being quarrelsome, but his voice didnt have any frostiness. It still carried bits of tenderness towards Lan You Nian, as if he didnt need to be so deliberately. It was only a kind of natural instinct, a kind of instinct for caring and protecting Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian sighed. She has already experienced this mans stubbornness. Competing against him for stubbornness, she really couldnt beat him. She nodded her head. Lan You Nian smiled and said, Since Ming wang is determined to gift, then You Nian will show respect by epting.
Xuan! Feng Yi Xuans thin lips spit out one word.
Ah? Lan You Nian was bewildered. Xuan? What Xuan?
Call me Xuan! Feng Yi Xuan said. Others called him Ming wang, master, wangye, Yi Xuan, AXuan, but no one called him Xuan. He hoped that Nian Nian could so intimately call him Xuan.
Lan You Nian felt a chill pass through her. Although she considered Feng Yi Xuan to be her friend already but was it really good to call each other so intimately between friends? Moreover, this was in ancient times. Men and women are different. To call a mans name, why does it feel a little weird?
Seeing Lan You Nians hesitation and iprehension, Feng Yi Xuan didnt exin. It was still the same three words, Call me Xuan!
Lan You Nian felt that her own education was very good, but at this time she really wanted to swear. In this world, how can there be such a man? Obviously overbearing that it made people angry, but contrarily, you couldnt get angry. Obviously stubborn that it made peoples head ache, but you didnt feel it was rude.
Ming wang, you elder dont tease ok? Lan You Nian really really wanted to go back to sleep right now, otherwise, she cant guarantee she wont have the desire to kill someone.
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly stood up. With one pull of his long arm, he tugged the unguarded Lan You Nian into his arms. The girl in his arms was petite and frail. Her height only reached up to his own chest, but it felt inexplicably fitting as if they were born for each other.
Lan You Nian was pulled into a warm chest without any precaution. The scent belonging to Feng Yi Xuan filled her entire nasal passage. Her head rested on Feng Yi Xuans chest. She could hear the sounds of chaotic but strong heartbeats through the broad chest. Lan You Nian inexplicably felt that this chest seemed to be a very good support.
Call Xuan! The stubborn voice on the top of her head rang again. Lan You Nian felt that if she didnt obey Feng Yi Xuan tonight, it might take all night.
Alright, Xuan, Lan You Nian said indignantly, You can let me go now!
Feng Yi Xuan reluctantly let go of the girl in his arms but recalling that he just felt Nian Nians body seemed to be ice cold, Feng Yi Xuan untied the ck cloak on his own body and tenderly put it on for Lan You Nian. It was obviously Feng Yi Xuans domineering cloak, when draped on Lan You Nians body, it made Lan You Nian seem more petite. Therge cloak wrapped up Lan You Nian entirely inside. Because Feng Yi Xuan was very tall, the cloak on Lan You Nians body swept the ground. Lan You Nian, at this moment, gave people a tender feeling.
Young miss! Lan Qu, led by An San, came to the garden and worriedly called out.
Feng Yi Xuan changed the color of his eyes back before An Sans arrival. Lan You Nian discovered that it was a kind of potion that very conveniently changed the color of Feng Yi Xuans eyes.
Lan You Nian looked back at Lan Qu. Seeing there was nothing wrong, she softly smiled, Im fine, how are you?
Young miss, its this ve who implicated you, Lan Qu even said this ve; it was obvious Lan Qu really felt guilty. If the young miss they wanted to protect got into trouble because of them, even ten thousand deaths wont absolve her.
What are you thinking? Lan You Nian was amused as she lightly patted Lan Qus shoulders. Lan Qu studied young miss. There was nothing wrong and her mood seemed to be pretty good, so she was rest assured.
From now on, dont scare my maidservants anymore. If they are psyched out, then it would difficult to deal with! Lan You Nian said with dissatisfaction to Feng Yi Xuan.
An San was taken aback. Miss Lan is lecturing master. Its interfering with masters decision. If it was the normal master, it was either kill with one strike, or it was directly ignored, or it was endless repression in the future. Dont know what will be Miss Lans oue.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan dotingly promised. He just missed her. Since Nian Nian didnt like this, he will not do so in the future.
An San lowered her head and smirked, hei, she just knew master was not willing to harm Miss Lan. It seems that if master and Miss Lan marry, then master is definitely a henpecked husband. One cannot refute, An San you surmised the truth.
Lan Qu also was taken aback. She clearly remembered that this Ming wang was chilling and ruthless when facing her today, but now he had such a deeply pampering expression towards young miss, could it be....
Lan Qu, take the zither! Lan You Nian instructed. Then she walked out of the garden. Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to send her off but didnt expect Lan You Nian off in the distance seemed to know what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do, You dont need to send-off.
The little figure in the distance waved her small hand and slowly disappeared into the night. Feng Yi Xuan sat back down in his original seat. He looked at the entirely empty teacups, then looked at the Ming wangfu that has changed back to being cold and emotionless. It was obviously still the same as before, but not the same at the same time.
Lan You Nian headed towards Lan manor. Lan Qu followed behind. If you want to ask, just ask! Lan You Nian stopped walking and said.
Young miss, that Ming wang.... didnt young miss say this person is extremely dangerous and shouldnt be provoked? Lan Qu revealed the thoughts in her heart. Although it seems that Ming wang treated her familys young miss very differently, but recalling the rumors outside, she still had some concerns.
It is true that Feng Yi Xuan is an extremely dangerous person. Now I still think so, Lan You Nian continued to walk, But as long as his danger does not threaten me, it will be fine.
I understand! Lan Qu bowed her head affirming. Young misss perception has always been poisonous. Since young miss said Ming wang wont threaten young miss, then young miss has her own reasoning. But her only concern is that Ming wang seems to have any thoughts on young miss. After all, that kind of pampering expression....However, Lan Qu thought of young misss shifu and several senior brothers, those people werent to be trifled with. It seems that for anyone who wanted to obtain young misss heart, it wont be so easy.
When Lan You Nian and Lan Qu used qinggong to fly back to You Nian Pavilion, Zhang Lin left his post and stood alert on the wall of You Nian Pavilion, but upon seeing Lan You Nian, he immediately pulled back the sword in his hand, Young miss!
En, Lan You Nian said with a nod of satisfaction, Your vignce is pretty good, but...still not enough!
This subordinate will train more in the future, Zhang Lin looked down with some vexation. He originally thought young miss couldnt do martial arts, but seeing young misss qinggong tonight, Zhang Lin knew his gap was big. The people around young miss all seemed to be much stronger than him, this guard.
En, sometimes people still need to refine. This kind of thing needs hard work, but one cant be too anxious, said Lan You Nian.
Yes, this subordinate understands! Zhang Lin was quite inspired by what young miss said. Sometimes he even felt that he was not facing a young girl, but a high-ranking person.
After Lan You Nian finished speaking, she was ready to go back to rest, but Zhang Lins voice sounded again, Young miss, the general has waited for you for a long time!
Zhang Lin remembered that the general was thinking of having dinner with young miss, but discovered young miss wasnt there so he has been waiting there until now. The general didnt ask him where young miss was, only asked if young miss was safe. It seems the general did indeed dote on young miss.
After listening, Lan You Nian nodded and walked straight into the pavilion tower. There were beautifulnterns hanging everywhere in the entire pavilion. Even in the dark, the loft where Lan You Nian lived was abnormally bright. Walking up along the staircase, as soon as she entered, she saw Lan Jian Jun sitting there with a stern posture.
Hearing the sound of someone entering through the door, Lan Jian Jun looked back and saw Lan You Nian stepping in. Just as he put down the worry in his heart of the whole night, when he saw the clothing draping on Lan You Nian, Lan Jian Jun felt himself wanting to re up in anger.
Who did his daughter go to see today? Who did that piece of clothing belong to? His daughter was still young. Has she been duped and misled? At this time, Lan Jian Jun was full of doubts, but when he gazed into his daughters tranquil eyes, he didnt know how to start off. After all, all these years, he never looked after her. Now what reason and identity did he have to educate his daughter?
Chapter 58
58 An Yiniangs Good Calction
January 1, 2019
secretdreamwishes
May I ask what General Lan is here for? Lan You Nian sat on the opposite side of the Lan Jian Jun after a curtsy. From behind, Lan Wu took the cloak off young miss and quietly withdrew.
Nianer, Lan Jian Jun frowned, then thought for a moment and smoothed his brows, Nothing. I originally came here to apany you for dinner. I didnt expect Nianer to be absent, Lan Jian Jun, saying this, even tentatively nced at Lan You Nian, afraid Lan You Nian will be fed up with this fathersing without invitation.
Lan You Nian looked at this bodys biological father who sat uneasily opposite her. The tea in the teapot was already cold but, looking at the tea pot in front of Lan Jian Jun, he seems to have been waiting a long time, anxious enough to drink a lot of herbal tea. She slightly frowned, En, Lan Qu, go make some midnight snack!
Lan Qu answered aloud from outside the room, thinking about General Lans recent performance. In fact, if there was not all the matters of the past, General Lan was a very good father. But remembering that it was General Lans disregard that allowed young miss to suffer so much, even be administered with so many poisons, doesnt this General Lan have any responsibility?
After Lan Jian Jun heard Lan You Nians words, his entire person was excited, wondering if his daughter starting to forgive him, isnt this a good start?
No need to worry. Father only came to see you, Lan Jian Jun waved his hand. Although he was very happy that his daughter cared about him, thinking that it was gettingte, if he ate here who knew how long it will take. His daughters body doesnt seem to be very good, so he shouldnt bother her rest.
Oh, An yiniang is waiting outside You Nian Pavilion. If she knew General Lan stayed at this little girls ce for so long and didnt even use dinner, dont know what kind of charge An yiniang will ce against this little girl? Lan You Nian mockingly said.
Just when Lan You Nian used qinggong to return to You Nian Pavilion, she saw An yiniang waiting outside You Nian Pavilion, not only wearing very thinly but also carrying a food box. It seems like she was certain that Lan You Nian will not eat together with Lan Jian Jun, then she would use a motherly attitude in front of Lan Jian Jun, receive favor, re-establish her identity, and then....
How could Lan Jian Jun not understand Lan You Nians meaning hearing her words? He felt wretched, Nianer, I know you do not like An yiniang. Whatever you want to do, father wont question you, but everything needs to have a reason in order to act, otherwise An yiniangs backing wouldnt be easy to deal with.
Lan You Nian was really surprised this time. What is Lan Jian Juns meaning? He knew she will deal with An yiniang? And he doesnt stop her? It seems this man really doesnt like An yiniang. But this man lets her do as she pleases; it was really unexpected. But what she wants to oppose isnt only An yiniang, but An yiniangs everything, including her children. Dont know if this man can still say the same thing when that timees.
General Lan is really heartless as always, Lan You Nians cold voice carried an unclear tone, making it difficult to tell whether it is emotional or admiration.
Nianer... Lan Jian Jun opened his mouth to exin but right now Lan Wu and Lan Qu came in with the newly made midnight snacks. One te after the other of warm pastries were ced on the table, interrupting Lan Jian Juns words of exnation.
Lan Jian Jun can tell Lan You Nian did not want to hear his so-called exnation. Although he longed for his daughter to forgive him, he knew that things had its own time. If he provoked his daughter to hate him more, then it would not be worth the loss.
Wont you eat? Lan Jian Jun looked at Lan You Nian opposite him brewing herself tea, casually asked.
No need, General Lan should eat quickly, otherwise An yiniang after waiting outside for so long will get sick, that wont be good, Lan You Nian swayed the tea in her hands, looking at the ripples in the water.
Lan Jian Jun knew it was useless to say more. There is probably only one good-for-nothing father in this world and that is him. Lan Jian Jun picked up the chopsticks and tasted the pastries, but the moment he ate these, he noticed these pastries were ones he had never seen before. The taste was very novel. Recalling his daughters brewed flower tea was very fragrant, it seems that at a time when he wasnt aware, his daughter learned a lot.
Young miss, Zhang Lin stood outside the pavilion and respectfully said, An yiniang fainted outside!
If it wasnt because General Lan was here, Zhang Lin definitely would have directly thrown this An yiniang back. Why do these women always think about these messy matters? They, these guards, saw very clearly. Did An yiniang really faint? Have you seen someone who sits down carefully and then falls down in a faint?
Oh? Lan You Nian put down the tea in her hand andughed profoundly, Lan Qu, help An yiniang inside. The night is humid. It would be bad if An yiniang gets a cold!
Lan Jian Jun didnt know what his daughter wanted to do. But thinking of that woman he put down the pastry in his hand. It was obvious it was a good opportunity tomunicate with his daughter about the rtionship between father and daughter. Now this happens, it was all ruined by that woman.
This father should go back. Itste. You should rest early. You can just have someone send An yiniang back, Lan Jian Jun stood up, prepared to go back, but at this time, Lan Qu already carried the unconscious An yiniang into the pavilion.
Lan Qu ced An yiniang on the thick rug on the floor of the pavilion. Dont me Lan Qu for being so strange. Lan You Nian has a little mysophobia. If someone like An yiniang touched Lan You Nians room, Lan You Nian will definitely have a hard time sleeping at night.
Young miss, I heard if people are unconscious, they can be woken up by using horse urine. Dont know if An yiniang can use this method! Lan Wu deliberately pat An yiniangs delicately made-up cheeks, but the force of the hand was difficult to tell.
Dont know if General Lan thinks this method is good? Lan You Nians eyes shined withughter and asked. Only Lan Wu will be so naughty.
How could Lan Jian Jun not see his daughters intentions, but he also knew the An yiniang who was on the ground was pretending to be unconscious. He had umonly good martial arts, whether someone is unconscious he can tell the difference. Go ahead! Lan Jian Jun waved his hand letting Uncle Lan go do it.
An yiniang was shocked. Horse urine? If that thing gets into her own mouth, what face did she have to face the master? An yiniang slowly opened her eyes deliberately and asked weakly, Where is this? What happened to me?
Uncle Lan, send An yiniang back. Its sote yet doesnt go rest instead wandering around outside! Lan Jian Jun, looking at An yiniangs pretentiousness, felt nauseous. He really did not want to look at her a second more.
An yiniangs heart hurt. Even if she faints in front of his eyes, he still wasnt willing to give her a nce? Before, it was He Xiao Ran that whore who monopolized all of masters eyes, now her daughter was just like her, taking up all of masters sight. Why cant master see her ah?
An yiniang walked to the front of Lan Jian Jun prepared to help him up, but Lan Jian Jun dodged it. An yiniang didnt even touch Lan Jian Juns clothes. An yiniang withdrew her awkward arm, Master, this concubine waited a long time outside just wanting to see master. Is master not even willing to grant this little wish of this concubines?
An yiniangs voice was full of dejection. Lan You Nian can see that An yiniang truly liked Lan Jian Jun. However, Lan Jian Jun did not have any affection for An yiniang. Suddenly, Lan You Nians eyes shed with coldness, the smile on the corner of her mouth became even more malicious.
Seeing Lan Jian Jun ignoring her, An yiniang knew no matter how much she begs it was useless. She turns to look at Lan You Nian, Third young miss just returned to the manor, are you ustomed? If there is anything unsatisfactory, you cane to me.
Look, look, what a hypocritical motherly face! Lan You Nian even wanted to apud An yiniang. Just after receiving the cold shoulder from Lan Jian Jun, she turns to her in an instant to warm up to her. This An yiniangs scheme was really good, thinking that by fawning over her she can make Lan Jian Jun look at her more? Its a fools dream!
An yiniang should be more concerned about yourself, otherwise youll faint on the drop of the hat. Its good that that General Lan knows, those who dont will think I did something bad to make An yiniang faint outside You Nian Pavilion. Lan You Nian scoffed.
Third young miss over-thinks. I only wanted to see third young miss. I heard third young miss recently takes meals made from your own little kitchen instead of the kitchen from the manor. Im merely afraid third young miss doesnt eat well, An yiniang, saying this, brought out the meal that Qiuer who followed her carried with her.
Many thanks for An yiniangs kindness but I am a picky eater. Itste, General Lan, An yiniang should rest early! Lan You Nian gave Lan Jian Jun a curtsy. Lan Qu and Lan Wu started to see the visitors out.
After Lan Jian Jun and An yiniang left, Lan You Nians voice carried coldness said, Lan Qu, burn the rug on the ground. Lan Wu, carefully handle the food sent by An yiniang.
Young miss, is there a problem? Lan Qu knew there was a problem when she heard Lan You Nians words.
The rug contains poison that can cause skin to fester. The food that An yiniang sent was the poisons primer, Lan You Nian said indifferently. An yiniang really thinks highly of her to actually use such powerful poison but how could she know that she is Gui Yi Zis apprentice? Although her medical skills could notpare to big brother, for these little childs y its more than enough.
What? That An yiniang really is vicious, even knowing young miss is disfigured and still not willing to let go. She even wants to young misss skin to be bad. She really deserves to die! Lan Wu immediately collected the food on the table. Lan Wu also immediately changed the rug.
Lan You Nian remained silent. When An yiniang was still acting, she suddenly smelled the poison so she knew An yiniangs n. She wants to ruin her step by step. Even if her face is disfigured, she isnt at ease. If her entire body festers, then who dares to approach her? An yiniangs good n ah! However, meeting her, no matter how good the n is, it will all be nightmares. Howe An yiniang doesnt learn?
Chapter 59
59 Prime Minister An Manor
January 1, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian sat with Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian in a horse carriage heading to Prime Minister Ans manor, which was the maiden home of An yiniang.
Nianer, today you must follow your older brother. Dont run around, Lan Jian Jun said with a worried heart. Then he said sternly to Lan Mo Xian, Mo Xian, Prime Minister An is usually not in harmony with our Lan manor, in the past he has never invited our Lan manor, now, not only did he invite our Lan manor but also specifically wants Nianer toe. There is most likely danger.
Lan Mo Xians warm face was also severe. How can he not know fathers worries? When An yiniang married father to be a concubine, Prime Minister An threatened father to turn his mother into a concubine and make An yiniang into the Madame, but father, not only did he refuse, he also refused to ept An yiniang. Originally, Father and Prime Minister An did not get along in the official circles, and because of such a matter, the feeling of animosity became deeper. Later, An yiniang entered the manor as a concubine, but father never questioned about her. It was tantly pping Prime Minister Ans face. In the future, the two fought many times in the official circles.
Later, mother died. Father only wanted to mourn her. An yiniang attained power in the manor, and Prime Minister Ans side was a lot smoother. Eventer, father went to the border to fight the war. There was no more interaction with Prime Minister An, so the two mens grievances were put aside, but now looking at Prime Minister Ans attitude, he probably has targeted Nianer meimei...
Father, son knows. Today son will pay more attention and take care of Nianer meimei, Lan Mo Xianforted. Today, originally, he didnt want Nianer meimei toe here but Prime Minister manors invitation not only named Nianer, this morning the old madame and An yiniang persuaded many times. If they did note, it will also cause a lot of tongues to wag.
Nianer, be more careful today. Protecting yourself is priority. No matter what happens, dont be afraid. Father will be there for you! Lan Jian Jun looked at the daughter who did not say a word. His heart was anxious. Although he was a militarymander, he was aware of civil officials twist and turns. Prime Minister An better not touch Nianer, otherwise...
Many thanks for General Lans consideration, Lan You Nian still looked the same with a gentle smile. There wasnt even a little bit of anxiousness for todays banquet.
Nianer! Lan Jian Juns voice carried hints of severity, No matter how much you hate fathers neglect in the past, father is willing to bear it. Whatever you want to do father will all agree, but you cannot be mischievous. Do you know if you make a wrong step today, you will be in danger!
Oh? Lan You Nian raised her eyes, those eyes that were resplendent as the stars suddenly burst with a grim chill. This child made Lan Jian Jun, who was always on the battlefield year around, fear. This chill he only ever saw on one person. That person was Ming wang Feng Yi Xuan.
Nianer.... Lan Mo Xian was also shocked by the cold aura around his familys little sister. He was afraid that Lan You Nian will defy father and add more problems to today. Lan Mo Xian pleadingly called Lan You Nian, he didnt want his most respected father and his most loved little sister be enemies.
Lan Jian Jun seemed to feel that his tone was too heavy. He wanted to say something but Lan You Nian already closed her beautiful eyes. The mild look seemed like she never put anything or anyone into her heart, seemingly, in this world she was alone.
Lan You Nian considered todays banquet. Today was the 50th birthday of Prime Minister An so the grand banquet invited all the capitals noble people. Prime Minister An can be said to be living very smoothly. His eldest daughter was the noble empress of a country. He assisted second wangye Feng Shao Chu; if in the future second wangye Feng Shao Chu ascends the throne, then one can only imagine the high status of Prime Minister An. Moreover, Prime Minister An has now the official title of prime minister. People who want to curry favor with him were endless. Such a conceited person yet the daughter who was a concubine was not favored, how can Prime Minister An swallow this?
Some time ago, Lan Ya and Lan Zhi went to Prime Ministers manor frequently. They must have said something in front of Prime Minister An that will cause Prime Minister An to regard herself as a thorn in his side. Todays banquet probably will be many deliberate difficulties for her. In fact, Prime Minister Ans purpose wasnt difficult to guess. He and Lan Jian Jun did not agree with each other. However, although Prime Minister Ans official grade was high, but he had no military power. Originally, he thought that Lan Jian Jun will hand over the military power to Lan Yin in the future, but didnt expect Lan Jian Jun will not have such an idea. So Prime Minister An, not only did he want to get rid of her, more importantly, he wanted to get remove Lan Mo Xian, so to let the military power fall into Lan Yins hands. In the future, it will be much easier to help Feng Shao Chu to win the throne, then, Prime Minister An can be described as under one person but over tens of thousands of people.
The carriage stopped. Lan Jian Jun led Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian down the carriage. The carriage following behind also stopped. Out walked down An yiniang and her children. Todays An yiniang carefully dressed up in a big peony on jade green smoky gossamer green rosy cloud brocade (bi xia luo), the pink water fairy scattered flower with green leaves skirt dragged on the ground. She wore a thin coat of gold-threaded thin jade-green, low hanging hair obliquely inserted with a jasper hairpin iid with pearls. She was clearly over 30 years old but still deliberately dressed up as a young woman. It made people feel ufortable. Behind her, Lan Zhi and Lan Ya were carefully dressed up; they were also a beautiful scenery.
An yiniang seeing everyones appreciation of her, she wanted to throw up. Today she came back to celebrate her fathers birthday, but she couldnt share a carriage with her lord husband. Dont know how the noble matrons in the capital will mock her behind her back. However, father promised he will punish that whore. Lets see how long she can be proud. Not only was the identity of legitimate daughter her daughers, this glory and favor will also be her daughters.
Lan You Nian with Lan Jian Jun followed the manservant into Prime Minister An manor. The red wall surrounded in protection, the green willows hang down, three hanging flower gates, and four sides of the hand-to-hand veranda. In the courtyard, the roads were intersected. The mountains and stones dotted, embracing the An Manor gue on the building. The entire courtyard was magnificent, grand and luxurious. The gardens clustered, delicate and exquisite. The inner courtyard was full of roses. A pool of water surrounded by a white stone road that crossed the Qi Fang River to cross to the other side.
Isnt this my virtuous son-inw? My humble resident is honored by your presence! Prime Minister An stood outside the hall and greeted the new arrivals. He was wearing a gold and ck robe. Although he was already fifty years old, he looked very healthy. The looks were quite elegant and schrly, but that pair of eyes were full of slyness that couldnt be ignored.
Prime Minister Ans 50th birthday, how can this general note? Lan Jian Jun didnt pay heed to Prime Minister Ans call of virtuous son inw. He was not as respectful to him as to Tutor He. The surrounding people seeing this knew that General Lan had no intention of currying favor with Prime Minister An. He even fell Prime Minister Ans face.
An yiniang who followed behind paled. She did not expect Lan Jian Jun to still not recognize her identity on this day, as if her bing his concubine dirtied his reputation. Lan You Nian looked at An yiniangs pale cheek and cast a smug smile. This smile was clearly seen by An yiniang.
Prime Minister An was very dissatisfied with Lan Jian Juns insensibility, but today was his big day, he could ruin his own banquet. Moreover, he and Lan Jian Jun have been fighting for so many years, there was no hurry for this single moment. Today he wanted to deal with Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian who followed behind Lan Jian Jun.
This must be General Lan Che Qi. Indeed, heroes arise from youngsters ah! Prime Minister An praised Lan MO Xian with a unknown undertone.
Many thanks for Prime Minister Ans praise! Lan Mo Xian put away his warm smile when facing outsiders. At this time, he was the General Che Qi who heroically slew the enemy on the battlefield.
No need to be so modest. This is probably Miss Lan who just returned! Prime Minister An deliberately exerted pressure when facing Lan You Nian. After all, the people who were sent to kill this girl have died without leaving a whole body. For a long time, he hasnt been in such a tight corner. One little girl actually can deal with so many shadow guards, even if those shadow guards martial arts was verymon.
A lot of eyes around looked at Lan You Nian who stood there like a scenery. She stood quietly beside Lan Mo Xian. The gentle wind swept over the veil on her cheeks. Silk strands of hair danced in the wind, bursting forth with a delicate fragrance. Even if her face was ruined, many people present were still immersed in this beautiful painting.
Lan You Nians lips lightly opened, eyes cast low, This little girl greets Prime Minister An, the sound was crisp and elegant, surpassing Lan Zhi and Lan Ya behind her by far. Appearance was irrelevant only temperament.
Prime Minister An carefully studied Lan You Nian who was still just a child in front of him. With his many years of sensitive experience while navigating the official circles, he sensed the danger of the girl opposite him. Even if she had no strength in her hands, was very young and had no backing, but Prime Minister An perceived danger. This woman cannot stay!
An-niang is back ah. Yiner is also back. Come,e, let grandfather see! Prime Minister deliberately did not pay attention to Lan You Nian, giving Lan You Nian the cold shoulder.
Everyone thought Lan You Nian will feel wronged and awkward but Lan You Nian dealt with this with an easy grace. Although the expression of Lan You Nian could not be seen under the veil, everyone could sense this girl was not arrogant nor had a rash attitude. Inparison, it was clear that the Prime Minister, as an elder, was a little petty.
Lan Jian Jun was very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Ans disregard of his daughter but at this time, he cant vent his anger. Even if he was a military officer, he was not stupid. Lan Jian Jun could only withhold the anger in his heart. He tugged Lan You Nian into the inner courtyard of the banquet.
Many people came today. Almost all of the capitals official family children have arrived. The power of Prime Minister An in the official circles cant be underestimated. Today, second wangye and fourth wangye were also here. Even eldest princess Feng Xiao Luo came a lot earlier. Everyone greeted one another. Lan Jian Jun was led away by some people from the official circles. When leaving he reminded Lan Mo Xian to take care of Lan You Nian.
Lan Mo Xian knew his sister has never participated in such a banquet. Neither did she know any of the unmarried young miss. So, he dragged Lan You Nian to an inconspicuous ce in the banquet, afraid his little sister couldnt adapt to such a situation.
Lan You Nian observed the banquet. It was nothing more than colorful unwed youngdies and fine young men. Whether it was the small talk of the official circles, the kind of banquet she really didnt like. In the previous life, taking over the family n, she often waded through such situations like these. In this life, this was the first time participating in such a banquet, inevitably she was bored.
Nianer, dont like? Lan Mo Xian sat next to Lan You Nian. Seeing the impatience in Lan You Nians eyes, he asked.
En, it would have been better to use this time to sleep, In the presence of intimate people, Lan You Nian restored her natural personality. She was really as endearing as a child.
Hey? Isnt this third little sister? Howe third little sister is sitting here? Lan Zhis voice was filled with surprise. But that voice still attracted many peoples eyes. Originally everyone was curious about the Lan manors legitimate daughter who just came back, so looked at Lan You Nians matters as if they were watching something amusing.
Lan Mo Xian frowned. His eyes looking at Lan Zhi was like looking at the enemy. He can tell Lan Zhi came here to find trouble. She really is restless. Did she really think she can be unscrupulous in the Prime Ministers manor?
Third little sister, todays pastries were specially made from Zhen Wei Pavilion. Third little sister has probably never tasted it yet! Lan Zhis voice was soft and deliberate but the sarcasm contained in it was clear. Her third little sister was just a bumpkin from the countryside, how can she have eaten such things before?
What? Third little sister really never had it before? It really is a pity! Zhen Wei Pavilions pastries are novel and delicious. Third little sister must eat more today! Lan Zhi smacked her mouth with a handkerchief as if she was really surprised.
What are you saying? A few days ago, I went with Lan meimei to Zhen Pavilion to eat. Who treats your own little sister like this? Really is hypocritical! A female voice rang from the banquet.

From the banquet stepped out a body of golden yellow embroidered with phoenixes, yunyan (smoky cloud) upper coat, yellow twin butterfly cloud shape thousand water skirt that dragged on the floor, with a green rosy cloud brocade (bi xia luo) peony mist scarf wrapped around her wrists. Cloud hairstyle raised high, wearing a five phoenixes facing the sun dangling bead hairpin. Face coquettish as the moon, eyes looking around in a charming manner, stirring ones heart, an imposing noble temperament yet at the same time delicate female.
This woman came to Lan You Nians side, hooking Lan You Nians elbow, her tone very arrogantly said, A mere concubine-born daughter dares to ridicule the legitimate daughter so, it really isughable! Then she turned back and said with a warm smile to Lan You Nian, Little sister Lan, your temper is really good. This kind of woman you can still tolerate!
Lan You Nian did not speak. She did not recognize this woman, but she kept a wait-and-see attitude towards this woman who helped her out of her predicament.
You... Lan Zhi wanted to refute but considered the identity of the woman in front of her and left in a fury. Merely people without proper upbringing, hmph! Lan You Nian, lets see how long you can so unrestrained!
You are Lan You Nian right? The woman in front of her curiously looked at Lan You Nian. She was a few years older than Lan You Nian, about 16-17 years old, but the youthful aura around her was thick.
Yes, thanks to young miss for your assistance! Lan You Nian drew back her own elbow. She was still not used to strangers closeness to her. It made her unnaturally alert. Moreover, her identity was special. If she was not guarded, she probably would have gone to see the king of hell long ago. Dont know if she has the luck to transmigrate again.
Nianer, this is taiwei familys legitimate young miss, Hua Mu Qing. Junzhu, this is my younger sister. Many thanks to junzhu for lending a helping hand! Lan Mo Xian fisted his hands in thanks.
What is all this politeness? Little sister Lan you probably dont recognize me anymore. When you were little, I often went to see you pay. (giggle) However, at that time, I wasnt dressed as terrifying as today! Hua Mu Qing nced at the heavy clothes on her and frowned.
Lan You Nian thought and finally recalled who this woman in front of her was. Hua Mu Qing, Gu taiweis daughter. Speaking of this Hua Mu Qing, she was also a pitiful person. Her mother was a junzhu of Hua country who came to Feng country to make a peace marriage by marrying Gu taiwei. Although the two were married by royal decree but were extraordinarily in love, especially since, the only beloved daughter took the Madames surname Hua. However, unfortunately, Gu taiwei, because of poor health, passed away. Hua junzhu mourned her husband until she fell ill, and it wasnt long before she let go of this world, leaving Hua Mu Qing who at that time was still only a child.
The Emperor felt sympathy for Hua Mu Qing for having lost both parents at such a young age and conferred to her the title of junzhu, so there is no one who dared to provoke Hua Mu Qing. Hua Mu Qing, this, person was bold, even prefers martial arts, so most of the females in the capital didnt want to interact with her. The child Hua Mu Qing, because of the early death of her father and mother, was very lonely so when meeting the same pitiful Lan You Nian, she always felt a degree of big sisters tolerance and protectiveness. Before, she always climbed the walls to enter You Nian Pavilion to find Lan You Nian to y, but those memories were too distant, Lan You Nian has nearly forgotten.
Mu Qing jiejie Lan You Nian called softly the name from memory. Perhaps because of the originals memories, she felt a different kind of closeness to this woman. This womans character was likable. The conduct was forthright and not artificial. In the capital, she is a rare woman who to befriend.
Hehe, thats good you havent forgotten. Youre this junzhus only friend. You cant forget your jiejie! Hua Mu Qing hooked Lan You Nians elbow that she tugged back. Looking around the banquet hall at Lan Zhi and Lan Ya who integrated themselves amongst the young masters and youngdies, she, dissatisfied, said, Do those two still bully you? Your temper is a little too good!
Hua Mu Qing, saying this, nced at Lan You Nian with a stance of quite a bit of hate iron for not turning into steel, But in the future, you have your Mu Qing jiejie here. Who dares bully you, just tell this junzhu. Lets see if this junzhu doesnt beat her until she wets herself in terror!
Lan You Nian smiled but didnt speak. Although Hua Mu Qing had the title of junzhu, the days werent very good. After all, she had no one supporting her from behind. The vast taiwei manor has long declined, but fortunately, this womans personality was cheerful. She always lived her days very interestingly.
Junzhu should speak with more refinement. Otherwise, it wont be good for Nianer meimei to be led astray by you! Lan Mo Xian looked at Hua Mu Qing who spoke so roughly in tease but there was no mocking in his words. It seems the two were good friends.
Hmph! Lan Mo Xian dont act like a schr. You arent that refined either! Moreover, Nianer meimei is so well-behaved, you cant bully Nianer meimei, Hua Mu Qing, towards Lan Mo Xians teasing, refused to be outdone and snarked back, baring her teeth and brandishing her ws looking quite endearing.
Lan Mo Xian, I say, where did you run off to? It turns out you came here! Jing Wu An came over and knocked his shoulder against Lan Mo Xian. After being in the army for so many years, these several people have long been friends.
Miss Lan, junzhu! Jing Wu An nodded slightly. It can be considered as a greeting, but his gaze was on Lan You Nian, the corner of his curled into a smile. He admired this talented and strong girl very much. Going back afterward, he and Yu Liu Li made little inquiries and learned that this girl had lived very poorly. It made Yu Liu Li distressed for a long time, crying that his goddess was so pitiful.
Lan You Nian and Hua Mu Qing gave a curtsy. Lan You Nian looked at Jing Wu An, thinking about her own investigation. Jing Wu An is marquiss manors heir, also Feng Yi Xuans biaoge. The former empress was from the marquis manor. Although the former empress has now passed away, marquis manor and Feng Xia Qi, Feng Yi Xuans rtionship was as firm as ever. However, seeing that Jing Wu An followed Feng Yi Xuan to the battlefield as a military advisor, it can be seen that these peoples rtionship was very good, can be described as one glory, glory for all.
Ai, Jing Wu An, where did you run off to? I couldnt even find you! Hua Mu Qing shouted. Her temper was spirited like a man. She with Lan Mo Xian, Jing Wu An and others were in friendly rtions. These people liked Hua Mu Qings personality. Gradually, they became friends that were hard toe by.
Of course its to see junzhu being the hero who saves the beauty! Its a pity junzhu didnt give me a chance. Originally I wanted to help out so I can give Miss Lan a good impression. When Jing Wu An spoke, it always carried the unique overtone of a military advisor. People listened to his voice unconsciously.
Oh? You know Nianer meimei? Hua Mu Qing asked with shock. After all, Lan You Nian only just returned to the capital. She was prepared to introduce these friends of hers to Lan You Nian.
Nianer meimei? En, I will call like this in the future. Dont know if Nianer meimei minds? Jing Qu An thought he showed a big brother-like smile but no matter how you looked at that grin, however strange it was. It made Hua Mu Qing especially want to throw a punch.
Jing Qu An, dont go too far! Nianer meimei only has one older brother and that is me. Dont snatch mine. Want a little sister, go find your own! Lan Mo Xian was dissatisfied. After he overcame much difficulty to be strong to protect his little sister, these, one after the one appeared out of nowhere to snatch away his little sister. Whats up with that?
What only has one older brother and thats you? In the future, Nianer has more brothers and sisters, isnt there more people taking care of Nianer meimei? How can you be so stingy? Hua Mu Qing at first wasnt willing Jing Wu An recognize Nianer as a little sister, but hearing Lan Mo Xians words, instantly stepped into the same camp with Jing Wu An.
Lan Mo Xian, you shouldnt be too stingy. In the future, in the capital, sooner orter, wont we look after Nianer meimei? Jing Wu An said the truth. This girl had the special charm that made people like her. Moreover, thinking of Yu Liu Li finally knowing that he snatched one step in front of him to get closer to his goddess, dont know how regretful he will be?
Lan Mo Xian, although was dissatisfied that Nianer will have other brothers and sisters, also knew that Jing Wu An was telling the truth. In this capital, Nianer didnt know anyone. Just like moments ago no one stood up for her when she was bullied. While Jing Wu An, Hua Mu Qing, they dont covet anything of Nianers. With them protecting, in the future, Nianers personality will be more cheerful, no longer be as quiet and deste as she is now. More friends meant Nianer has more roads. Sometimes it was best to think ahead about matters.
Many thanks. Nianer appreciates everyones care! Lan You Nian smiled slightly. These people werent good people, but what was hard toe by was that they had no malicious intentions towards her. They even regard her as their own little sister. It seems that being young also had its advantages.
Well, if Nianer meimei has time in the future, you can invite us to Zhen Wei Pavilion to sit. After all, its hard toe by Nianer meimeis one song, Jing Wu An said in a low voice, not deliberately concealing. This was Lan You Nians secret, who she wanted to tell is her own freedom, they had no right to interfere.
Lan You Nian couldnt help being amused. This Jing Wu An was the capitals famous gifted schr. Before knowing him, she believed he was very proud, but after meeting, she knew this person only had a little vanity. Ever since hearing her sing Boundless, he eagerly hoped she will sing again. Unfortunately, she never went to Zhen Wei Pavilion again.
Alright, when that timees, I will invite shizi to give advice! Lan You Nian didnt mind singing. These songs were sediments of Chinese culture. She came here because of fate, so letting more people hear those elegant songs was a good thing.
I already call you little sister, how can you still be so estranged? How about calling me big brother Jing! Jing Wu An requested.
Lan You Nian was momentarily speechless, carefully calcting how many older brothers she has now. There is too many. But she didnt know how to refuse. Dont know if when the several senior brothers knew will they be jealous?
Big brother Jing, Lan You Nian saidpliantly. Jing Wu An nodded his head, lookingpletely like a big brother but his heart was envious Lan Mo Xian had such a sister. He really was lucky.

The seating arrangements of the banquet was separated by gender. The men and women separated into two sides. Jing Wu An and Lan Mo Xian cautioned Hua Mu Qing then went to the mens side.
Hua Mu Qing dragged Lan You Nian to find a seat in the back, ranting, I really didnt expect Lan Mo Xian to rattle on so. Nianer meimei, let me tell you, although your older brother usually looks like hes easy to talk to but in fact, his heart is ck!
You so brazenly say my older brothers bad words in front of me, is it really good? Lan You Nian sat next to Hua Mu Qing smiling. In this short time of getting along, Lan You Nian liked this woman very much so when talking she was much more casual.
Although Lan Mo Xian is Nianer, your, older brother but now this junzhu is your older sister ah, Nianer cant be partial! Hua Mu Qing pouted with dissatisfaction.
We were just looking for third sister for quite a while. We didnt expect third sister sat with junzhu without saying something. You didnt even think of telling your older sister? Lan Ya and Lan Zhi held hands and sat down next to Lan You Nian but the usation in the words was very obvious.
Lan You Nians eyes coated with frost. Although she didnt care about Lan Ya and Lan Zhi these clowns and was very happy to watch them act, but it didnt mean she herself liked to act, nor does it mean that she was truly good-tempered and can be casually provoked.
Lan You Nian didnt say anything. However, Hua Mu Qing who sat beside her couldnt sit still. Dont know who was it who flew around like a butterfly? How can you see Nianer meimei? I saw Nianer meimei looked very bored so I sat here with Nianer meimei. Has this junzhu sitting here obstructed your eyesight? Hua M Qing aggressively demanded of Lan Ya.
Junzhu misunderstands. It seems that I was inconsiderate and neglected third sister! Lan Ya smiled stiffly, but even so, she didnt forget to dirty Lan You Nian. They were a family yet mentioning the word neglect, isnt this saying Lan You Nian was bullying people?
Hua Mu Qing still wanted to refute but was held back by Lan You Nian. She sat down indignantly. Hua Mu Qing raised a threatening fist against Lan Ya. The gesture was indeterminately domineering but Lan You Nian felt even more closeness with her.
Eldest sister is too serious. Although today eldest sister is very busy entertaining those young masters, only junzhu hase for so long, eldest sister doesnt even look more than a nce. Neglecting me is no matter but neglecting junzhu, thats not good! Lan You Nians voice was still melodious but the content of the words was thought-provoking. You, Lan Ya, as a woman went to greet men, even a junzhu you dont esteem, that was not the behavior of ady of the boudoir.
Hee, third sister really loves to joke around, Lan Ya said ufortably, looking at the surrounding matrons disdainful gaze was like sitting on needles.
Eldest sister spoke wrongly. I wasnt joking! Lan You Nian said innocently. Those big eyes shing and flickering looked so naive that everyone sitting around believed in Lan You Nian. They felt more and more that Lan Ya as the older sister was too thoughtless.
Fourth wangye has arrived! Ming Wang has arrived! A manservants excited voice announced. Everyone at the banquet were shocked. How could these two peoplee? If speaking of fourth wangye, it was still normal but Ming wang rarely participates in any banquet. Even the banquet in the pce he wont participate in. Moreover, Prime Minister manor does not support any one of the two. What was fourth wangye and Ming wangs intention?
Apart from second wangye and third wangye, everyone in the banquet stood up and gave courtesy greetings, Fourth wangye, Ming wang!
There is no need for such courtesy. I and Ming wange here to congratte the Prime Ministers on his birthday, Feng Xia Qi smiled in reassurance which made the unmarried maidens present blush. Feng Xia Qis looks were really too good looking and is especially gentle and considerate, even keeps himself clean (abstinence). Dont know how many people want to enter fourth wangyes residence.
Feng Yi Xuan looked as apathetic as ever before, making all the people around him unconsciously move away from him, for fear that they will offend this Ming wang and get into more than they can handle. Feng Yi Xuan nced at the entire hall and finally saw the reason he came here today.
He saw Nian Nian who was sitting there. Today she wore a white dress with the same strange red embroidered flowers, and her hair rarely seen brushed into a flowing cloud hairstyle (lui yun), shoulders like it was carved, waist round and beautiful. Her eyebrows remain unmoving, wiping away all the superficial leaving behind only innocence. Slender hands, smooth face, and an aura like an orchid, just sitting there, she was already so beautiful it left him enchanted.
Feng Yi Xuan originally hated these banquets the most. After receiving the invitation, he threw it out as usual but when he knew his Nian Nian wille today, he hurriedly changed his clothes and came over. Obviously, it was only a few days ago but he missed her a lot.
Feng Xia Qi smiled as he made courtesy inquiries after Prime Minister An but in his heart, he was already impatient. But thinking that this Prime Minister An wasnt easy to deal with, he endured it. Originally, only he was going toe here today to attend the banquet. He didnt expect to see his own brother. It was quite strange. Others may not understand his younger brother, but he had some understanding. He wasnt the kind of person who could sit still listening to nonsense. Today the reason younger brother is here is probably.... Feng Xia Qi eyes flitted to Lan You Nians direction many times, probably for this Miss Lan. This little girl made others hearts ache for her. Feng Yi Xuan has never had a little sister. He probably saw this Miss Lan as a little sister. This is good; he also wanted this little girl as a younger sister.
Feng Yi Xuans line of sight was too straightforward and intense. Lan You Nian looked up at Feng Yi Xuan who was staring absentmindedly at her. Ink hair raised high, simple gold cor glittered under the sun. On the moon-like face, a pair of eyes resplendent as the moon and stars stared unblinkingly at her. Purple robes fluttered in the breeze as if the heavenly celestials came to earth! When he saw Lan You Nian looking at him, his eyes shed with a smile of satisfaction.
Perhaps the smile in Feng Yi Xuans eyes was too bright and sincere, Lan You Nians face showed a rarely seen blush. Fortunately, the veil blocked it otherwise she will be embarrassed to death. Lan You Nian couldnt help but reflect on herself. Why does she always feel different about this Feng Yi Xuan? Is it really because this man was not harmful to her?
When Feng Yi Xuan just saw Nian Nian look up at him, he was in a good mood. However, she didnt look at him for a moment before she looked away; Feng Yi Xuan was very dissatisfied. The result of the dissatisfaction was the release of a cold aura, making the seated second wangye, third wangye somewhat unable to sit still. Dont know who provoked this demon!
All kinds of delicious foods were presented in an orderly manner. Everyone was very restrained to pick up the chopsticks and wonderingly taste the vor.
Third sister, isnt it troublesome to for you to eat like this? How about removing the veil? Everyone knows so third sister doesnt need to be shy! Lan Zhi tittered. What she is happiest is that Lan You Nian was disfigured. After all, Lan You Nians appearance from childhood was beautiful to the point of angering the gods. Fortunately, the heavens didnt allow her to continue being beautiful.
The womens table heard these things and became quiet, at the same time, looking straight at the veil on Lan You Nians face. In fact, everyone felt that Lan You Nian was very beautiful, but such a beautiful girl was disfigured. They all heard rumors outside, saying this Lan manors legitimate daughters face was like a ghost. Women love to join in the fun and gossip, so it wasnt hard to guess that everyone wanted to see how terrifying the face under the veil really is. They didnt even think about the fact that sitting here was, in fact, just a child.
Lan You Nian smiled. It seemed like the one being humiliated wasnt her. But just because she doesnt care doesnt mean Hua Mu Qing who sat beside her didnt care. She, because of the same life experience, was very fond of this younger sister who was much younger than her. But in the end, when she grew up, she had her own status, no one dared to bully her but the sister who was more pitiful than her was gone. Now that she sees this sister again, she still felt the need to protect her, although she faintly feels that this sister has changed. Now, these people are exposing scars in public. Do they really think she, Lan You Nian, did not have any friends?
This junzhu only now knows you are such a woman. Nianer meimei is merely eating, why are you so aggressive! Besides, how does Nianer meimeis face have anything to do with you. Really is nosy! Hua Mu Qings voice showed clear anger. Now, the mens side were all quiet.
I know that junzhu pity third sisters disfiguration, but I only have good intentions. It is inconvenient to use the veil to eat the meal. Everyone knows that third sisters face is ruined. Is there a need to cover it up? Lan Zhi cried with tears in her eyes, seeming like it was Hua Mu Qing who was being a bully. But right and left she mentioned disfiguration, even when saying it she sounded very happy. It seems she was deliberately reminding everyone of Lan You Nians embarrassment.
Lan Jian Jun, from the mens side looking at such a thoughtless Lan Zhi, clenched his teeth. Lan Mo Xian was already angered into standing up. Nianer meimeis face was disfigured, everyone else avoided mentioning it, yet this Lan Zhi spoke of it in this kind of asion, isnt it just embarrassing Nianer meimei?
Jing Wu An also turned the wheels in his brain and considered how to punish Lan Zhi. In any case, she was the younger sister he just recognized, how long has it been yet someone decided to bully her. Really has no sense ah.
Feng Xia Qis face became cold. He had a very good impression of this Miss Lan. He liked this girl more than his younger sisters from the pce. Women cared a lot about their appearance. Although Miss Lan appeared like she doesnt care but who knows if she is sad inside? Ai, it seems that he will have to help her. Who allowed him to have this rare moment of kindness?
Hua Mu Qing clenched her fist, prepared to break Lan Zhis mouth. A force of wind whizzed by her side. Although Hua Mu Qings martial arts were not high, but she could protect herself. Leaving, pulling along Lan You Nian, to move to the side, the palm of wind directly knocked Lan Zhi to the ground,nding face first. It was tantly pping face ah!
Chapter 62
62 Face pped Lan Zhi

secretdreamwishes
What is Ming wangs meaning? Prime Minister An demanded with suppressed anger. They all saw it was that arrogant Ming wang who struck out. Today was his birthday; this Ming wang doesnt give him any face.
Noisy! When looking at Lan You Nian, his gaze was warm, but at this moment, his eyes were cold, heartless, calm, indifferent, frosty, just quietly watching Lan Zhi lying on the ground as if looking at an ant. Feng Yi Xuan stood majestically; he invisible pressure was overwhelming, making peoples hearts tremble, involuntarily wanting to submit.
This girl is this ones granddaughter. Isnt Ming wangs actions crossing a line! Although Prime Minister An was afraid of Feng Yi Xuans aura, he still stiffened his face to dispute. This Ming Wang didnt hit Lan Zhi, instead, he embarrassed him. When has there been anyone who dared to embarrass him?
With one nce, Feng Xia Qi knew that his younger brother struck because of that Miss Lan. Indeed, it was younger brothers method of doing things. However, he himself was also prepared to strike but it merely wasnt as direct as his younger brothers. Now there isnt any chance for a hero saving a beauty.
Prime Minister An theres no need to get angry. Ming wang doesnt do without reason. Today is Prime Minister Ans birthday, but this young miss is not only aggressive but also deliberately disturbs the banquet. In fact, Ming wangs actions helped clean up some of the idlers! Feng Xia Qi smiled as he took over Prime Minister Ans words. Hes afraid if he let his younger brother talk, he will just directly use force.
Yeah, this young miss since the banquet started has been looking for Nianer meimeis trouble. Dont know which family is thisdy from? Howe there are no manners? Even junzhu she dares to ignore! Jing Wu An also stood up, tantly speaking up for Lan You Nian. This was also indirectly speaking for Feng Yi Xuan. When everyone heard Nianer meimei this appetion, they all were taken aback. They didnt expect not only this Miss Lans rtionship with junzhu was pretty good, even Jing shizi considers her to be a younger sister. Everyones gaze on Lan You Nian showed a lot more caution. Although junzhu was only a woman without any authority, Jing shizi was different. Besides, behind Miss Lans back there was still General Lan and General Lan Che Qi.
Hmph! Hua Mu Qing very indelicately red at Lan Zhi on the ground, This is Nianer meimeis second sister, General manors illegitimate daughter Lan Zhi!
An illegitimate daughter dares to harass the legitimate daughter. This woman is unbelievably arrogant. Although this girl is Prime Minister Ans granddaughter but you cannot cover up for her. After all, today is Prime Minister Ans birthday! Feng Xia Qu said righteously. Those pair of fox eyes, however, blinked at Lan You Nian, causing Lan You Nian to shake her head in exasperation.
At this time, Feng Yi Xuans cold aura was even worse. It was directed at Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An. Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An looked at each other. They honesty didnt understand how they provoked this demon. How could they know, moments ago Jing Wu Ans call of Nianer meimei already made Feng Yi Xuan feel ufortable, now his own royal brother even dares to charm his Nian Nian right in front of him. It was unforgivable. The little man in Feng Yi Xuans heart has already begun to abuse Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An.
Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An felt a coldness on their neck, then nced again at Feng Yi Xuans quite ugly face, believing he has dissatisfied with their handling of matters was too decorous. They couldnt help butment!
The people around seeing Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, and Hua Mu Qing were defending Lan You Nian, within moments there were many people, who tter those above them and step on those beneath them, start to whisper.
Illegitimate daughter is an illegitimate daughter, really cant be seen in public.
Yeah, a good birthday feast is now messed up!
Ai, do you know? In the past, An yiniang rushed to be a concubine. How can her daughter be any nobler?
No, impossible, doesnt she take care of Lan manor all these years?
What impossible! I saw when I came here today. General Lan doesnt even ride the same carriage with her....
An yiniang looked at her beloved second daughter lying hurt on the ground, but no one went to help her up. An yiniang was prepared to stand up but at this time, her brother sitting above her suddenly held down An yiniang from getting up.
Brother? An yiniang, in confusion, looked at her brother who had always loved her and didnt understand why her brother didnt help her this time.
Dont be impulsive. Remember the real purpose today. After today, she, Lan You Nian, is ruined and Lan Mo Xian will also be ruined. Do you understand? An Gong Jing whispered. There was twisted brutality on his face.
But, that is Zhier ah. In the future how will people look at Zhier! An yiniang broke the nails that were hidden in her sleeves. She loved all three of her children. Moreover, she hoped to rely on her two daughters to raise her status, but now...
Dont forget you still have Yiner and Yaer. If you miss this opportunity today, it will be difficult to find another opportunity! An Gong Jing said viciously.
An yiniang closed her eyes then didnt look at her daughter who was on the ground, firmly said, I know! As long as today passed, they can get rid of Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian, these two stumbling blocks. As long as today passed, everything will be better. In the future, she willpensate Zhier.
Come, the second young miss doesnt feel well. Take the second young miss to the courtyard to rest! An Gong Jing instructed the servants, calming down this farce. But even calming down this farce, todays joke will circte in the capital. The faces of the people of Prime Minister An manor did not look good.
Hu Hua Mu Qing looked at the servants helping Lan Zhi up and sending her to the inner courtyard, sighed in relief, Nianer meimei, you live together with these kinds of people every day, how can you bear it?
Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan You Nian, her eyes shing with deep sympathy. After all, with this kind of sister who always looked for trouble, there definitely isnt any peaceful days. Nianer meimei is only 13 years old. She didnt get to enjoy somefortable days before she must face these schemes of the inner courtyard. The more Hua Mu Qing thought the more she felt she had responsibly to protect Nianer meimei.
Fortunately, they cant hurt me, Lan You Nian smiled in reply. If someone like Lan Zhi can harm her, then there was no need for her to live. But these fleas jumping around is annoying. She wondered if she killed Lan Zhi, will Lan Jian Jun be upset? Although Lan You Nian didnt want to admit it, she already felt some degrees of care for this father. Even if she denies it, she has a hint of desire for this fatherly love. She hopes Lan Jian Jun doesnt let her down, lets hope....
Young miss have mercy, this ve didnt do it on purpose, young miss have mercy! A female wearing the uniform of Prime Minister manor knelt down at Lan You Nians feet, relentlessly knocking her head asking for mercy.
Lan You Nian looked at the stain on her clothes. Just when the maidservant was serving the food, she identally spilled the vegetable juice, coincidentally spilling onto her dress. Now the white skirt had arge unsightly yellow oil stain.
How can you be so careless? Fortunately, it isnt too hot. What if the hot soup spilled onto people? Really! Hua Mu Qing pulled out her handkerchief that she carried with her to wipe the stain on Lan You Nians clothes but how can the oil stains be so easily wiped off? The more you rub, the messier it became.
Junzhu have mercy! the maidservant mmed her head on the bluestone ground, Young miss have mercy, this ve didnt do it on purpose! Junzhu have mercy ah!
Lan You Nian studied the maidservant on the ground harshly knocking her head, her eyes shed with unknown light. Not intentional? It seems that may not be true. This maidservant clearly is someone with martial arts base. If such a cautious maidservant would make such a simple mistake, is this prime minister manor really not that peaceful?
Hua Mu Qing wanted to reprimand some more however, Lan You Nian stopped her. If she and Hua Mu Qing continue on, others will definitely think the two of them have little magnanimity.
No problem, you can go! Lan You Nian waved her hand letting the maidservant on the ground withdraw.
Aiya, how have third sisters clothes be like this? This girl is too reckless! An yiniang sitting at the table above said with annoyance, appearing 70/80 percent caring. She even stood up and came to Lan You Nians side and deliberately helped to see if the stain can be wiped off.
An yiniang doesnt need to trouble yourself, its nothing! Lan You Nian ducked away from An yiniangs hand. She couldnt stand such a person touching her. It made her feel disgusted.
What should be done? An yiniang looked at the clothes on Lan You Nian, seemingly very anxious, but it is unknown just what she is anxious about.
Lan Ya got up and supported An yiniang, deliberately said, Thest time I came to have a short stay here, there were still a few sets of clothes in the room. If third sister doesnt disdain, then make do with it, otherwise, today there are so many people, it really doesnt look good!
Lan You Nian looked at Lan Ya and An yiniang. That bright eyes made An yiniang and Lan Yas hearts feel faint, seemingly that transparent gaze can see all schemes and intrigues, no matter what kind of disgusting thoughts will be noticed. An yiniang ducked away from Lan You Nians eyes while Lan Ya lowered her head even more not daring to look at Lan You Nian.
Seeing this, Lan You Nian knew there will definitely be some kind of scheme following up behind. Lan You Nian knew she couldnt refuse because many noble matrons at the table were persuading her, Yeah, Miss Lan should go change clothes!
Yeah, if you look like this, you will lose face. Better go change your clothes quickly!
This servant girl doesnt know how to do things, fortunately, there are clothes to change into, Miss Lan quickly go change!
Lan You Nian nodded. Hua Mu Qing pulled Lan You Nians hand, Nianer meimei, I will go with you! The banquet will be boring. She didnt like those noble young misses, so shes better off going with Nianer meimei.
I will apany third sister. Junzhu isnt familiar with Prime minister manor. Its best if I go with third sister! Lan Ya grasped Lan You Nians hand and said very friendlily.
Hua Mu Qing originally did not agree. She always felt this Lan Ya has no good intentions. If she followed, she can definitely look after Nianer meimei. But Lan You Nian patted Hua Mu Qings hand, Mu Qing jiejie dont worry, I will just change my clothes ande back.
Seeing Lan You Nian saying so, Hua Mu Qing agreed. She didnt think Lan Ya had the guts to dare to do anything.
Lan You Nian left the banquet with Lan Ya. Her movement of departure made Feng Yi Xuan frown. Looking at the banquet without Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan stood up ready to leave. Feng Xia Qi kicked Feng Yi Xuan under the table and nudged closer to his ear and said, Dont leave so soon. Otherwise, I will be bored all by myself!
Feng Yi Xuan ignored the asional nerves of his brother but considered that if he directly left, it wasnt good for his royal brother, so he endured his irritability and sat down.
Chapter 63
63 Drugged
January 11, 2019

Warning: This scene has some slight inappropriate feelings/attraction towards a character considering that characters physical age. You have been forewarned.
Lan You Nian leisurely followed behind Lan Ya to Prime Minister manors inner courtyard. After a while, they came to a room. Upon entering the room, Lan You Nian caught a whiff of the strange scent. The smile curling on Lan You Nians lips was like a blooming spider lily, beautiful and bloodthirsty.
Third sister, is this appropriate? Lan Ya walked over to the wardrobe in the room and pulled out a white muslin dress and smiled brightly at Lan You Nian.
How can it not be appropriate? Big sister is too anxious! Lan You Nian epted clothes, seemingly not aware of anything, ready to go into the inner room to change clothes, when she saw Lan Ya preparing to leave, Big sister should wait here for younger sister. Younger sister doesnt know the way.
Lan Ya anxiously eyed the the wisps of smoke curling up from the incense burner, In a moment, there will be a servant girl who will bring third sister back. Third sister doesnt need to worry, Lan Ya assured. Holding her hand to her abdomen with hints of difort on her face, she said, Older sister-I-dont know why but I feel a little ufortable. I will find a doctor to look at it.
Oh? Big sister feels ufortable? Big sister doesnt need to be in a hurry, Lan You Nian tugged on Lan Ya who was preparing to go out and pressed Lan Ya down on the chair, Younger sister I will hurry to call the doctor. Older sister, youre ufortable, so you cant go find the doctor!
No! Lan Yas voice carried hints of sharpness.
Lan You Nians peered at Lan Ya in confusion, Big sister, whats wrong? Is it very ufortable? I will call the doctor right away! Lan You Nian headed outside after she finished speaking, but she didnt take a few steps before being stopped by Lan Ya.
Third sister is Lan manors legitimate daughter. Running around with the dress like this, what would it look like? Its okay. I just feel a little ufortable. Ill be back in a minute! Lan Ya rushed. Without waiting for Lan You Nians response, she ran out of the room, not forgetting to shut the room from the outside.
As soon as Lan Ya left, Lan You Nian immediately picked up the tea from the table and smothered the smoke in the incense burner. Burning in this incense burner were aphrodisiac herbs. The power of these herbs aphrodisiac was very overwhelming. The average woman who inhaled this scent, no matter how chaste, will be a wanton whore. This An yiniang, truly produces one scheme after the other failed. Not only does she want to destroy her snowy skin, now she wants to destroy her innocent body. It was easy to imagine, in this era, if she lost her chastity in front of the general public, either she will never be able to raise her head and be insulted to death, or be forced to cut her hair and live the rest of her life in a temple. What a good strategy!
Nian Nian Feng Yi Xuan who suddenly appeared startled Lan You Nian. She knew Feng Yi Xuans martial arts was very high but didnt think he could silently enter the room without her being aware of it.
Feng Yi Xuan handed the things in his hands to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian didntprehend at first, but she still uncovered the things wrapped in the cloth. However, as soon as it was uncovered, Lan You Nians mouth twitched. Because wrapped in the package were her own clothes. They were the clothes she ced in You Nian Pavilion.
Where did thise from? Lan You Nian picked up the clothes and asked casually. In reality, she asked after Feng Yi Xuans 18 generations of ancestors.
The clothes are dirty. I went back to get it! Feng Yi Xuan replied unconcernedly. He saw everything that happened at the banquet. Or perhaps it was better to say, ever since entering the banquet, his gaze revolvedpletely around this girl. Noticing her clothes were dirty, originally, he, under the persuasion of his royal brother, could still sit still, but imagining Nian Nian will be wearing other disgusting womens clothes, he could no longer stand it, so he quickly flew over to You Nian Pavilion, grabbed the clothes and came here. He had absolutely no self-awareness that for the great and noble Ming wang to tantly enter an unmarried maidens room, grabbing female clothes, was an embarrassing matter.
Thank you ah! Lan You Nian had no energy to say anything. How could the noble Ming Wang be like this. It wasnt even on the same line as the rumors.
No need! Feng Yi Xuan said in a serious manner. Then after a moments thought, he continued, Between us, there is no need for thanks!
Lan You Nian glowered at Feng Yi Xuan, squeezing out a sentence between her teeth, No, I thank your whole family! She couldnt help herself. She really wanted to curse!
I brought the clothes. It has nothing to do with my whole family! Feng Yi Xuan corrected, not hearing the intention of insult in Lan You Nians words.
Hehe! Lan You Nianughed dryly with no energy to say anything else. She simply couldnt ovee this Feng Yi Xuan. She obediently went to the inner room to change her clothes. Putting on her own clothes, Lan You Nian couldnt help acknowledging, fortunately, Feng Yi Xuan brought her own clothes, otherwise if she wore Lan Yas clothes, wont she die of difort?
When Lan You Nian finished changing her clothes and went out, Feng Yi Xuan still stood there. Lan You Nian looked up, giving Feng Yi Xuan a nce, but it was this one nce that caused Lan You Nian to gasp, not good! At this time, Feng Yi Xuans pale face was a little flushed. The muscles on his whole body were stretched taut. Obviously, he was drugged!
Lan You Nian, because she was had so many poisons in her body when she was little, so Gui Yi Zis process of detoxification was to let Lan You Nian bathe in a medicine bath to detoxify. Gradually, Lan You Nians body became special. Although it was not impervious to all poisons, however, encountering with most poisons, she will be fine. Today, this room was burning aphrodisiac. Lan You Nian had no problem inhaling this. Although the incense burner was extinguished, there was still a hint of aphrodisiac in the air. Feng Yi Xuan stayed here for so long and certainly inhaled a lot of aphrodisiac. It would be strange if there was no problem!
Feng Yi Xuan? Lan You Nian murmured, determining that if something was wrong, she will leave immediately.
Feng Yi Xuan, at this time, knew he was drugged. The unfamiliar impulse in his body made his face red. Speaking of which, all these years, he has never even held hands with a female, much less had such an impulse. Actually, when he realized he was drugged, Feng Yi Xuan couldpletely restrain his bodys impulses, but right now, seeing the girl in front of him, he didnt know why but not only his body felt hot, even his heart felt hot.
Im fine. What about you? Feng Yi Xuan asked worriedly. He wasnt afraid of himself being drugged. He can control himself. He was worried about the girl in front of him. He didnt want her to see these dirty things.
Im fine. You are drugged. Lets go! Lan You Nian studied. Feng Yi Xuan. Although his face was red, his eyes were clear. It seems that this medicine cannot affect him. Sure enough, a man was the epitome of ice.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, picked up Lan You Nian and flew out the room. Lan You Nian, being carried in Feng Yi Xuans warms, the breath of mint shrouded her. Lan You Nian struggled in difort, but when her hand pushed against Feng Yi Xuans chest, she realized Feng Yi Xuans body temperature was so high it was frightening.
You are drugged with aphrodisiac, The two stopped at a ce where there were no people. Lan You Nian shoved out of Feng Yi Xuans arms and kindly reminded him.
En, Feng Yi Xuan responded, reminiscing about the feeling in his arms, so very small, such a ball of softness, feeling that even his heart was softening.
Do you need me to find you a woman? Lan You Nian asked. Aphrodisiac was not like any other poison. Once infected with this fragrance, you either copte with someone or endure it yourself. Feng Yi Xuan, this person, treated her quite well so Lan You Nian kindly proposed.
Feng Yi Xuan originally was reminiscing the feeling of the embrace, now, hearing Lan you Nians words, his heart seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water. Feng Yi Xuan stared at Lan You Nian, grinding his teeth, his eyes shed with an uncontroble rage, like a ferocious lion.
Lan You Nian noted his crinkled brows, a pair of eyes exposing fierce light. Feeling the oppressed atmosphere, the air seems to have solidified. Lan You Nian didnt even dare look directly into his eyes, because in those eyes not only was there anger but also sadness. Lan You Nian didnt understand what she did to make this uncle* mad.
*(uncle in this case refers to someone who has status, is arrogant, rude, overbearing)
Feng Yi Xuan snapped his finger. An Yi appeared in front of Feng Yi Xuan. ncing between his masters dark face and then at Miss Lans innocent look, An Yi felt distressed.
Protect her! Feng Yi Xuan quickly flew away after he finished speaking. Before he left, he gazed intensely at Lan You Nian. That nce contained too many things. It made Lan You Nian a little embarrassed.
Lan You Nian shook her head and let go of the strange thoughts in her heart. There was still a lot of things that werent finished. Lan You Nian surveyed the Prime minister manor. Since you dared to give me such a big present, then I, Lan You Nian, if I didnt return a gift, wont be a little rude?
Feng Yi Xuan used extreme qinggong to return to Ming wangfu. Due to him using his inner energy to suppress as well as leaving Lan You Nians side, the desire in Feng Yi Xuans body has already subsided. Moreover, Feng Yi Xuan realized, when he left Lan You Nians side, his bodys strangeness had already returned to normal. It seems Nian Nian was much more tempting than any aphrodisiac.
Although the desire in his body has subdued, Feng Yi Xuan still wanted to return to his room to take a cold shower. He left, not only because he didnt want to frighten Nian Nian, but because of his bodys change. Upon leaving Nian Nian, the aphrodisiac in his body was fine. One more thing, Nian Nians words made him angry, so angry he wanted to grab the girl and spank her, but for fear he will actually do something that will hurt her, he left.
Feng Yi Xuan, after a rinse of ice-cold water, considering someone wanted to harm Nian Nian, he couldnt be at ease, but thinking of that girls words, he also felt angry. Feng Yi Xuan felt so conflicted. Nian Nian probably doesnt know, he-Feng Yi Xuan- whatever caught his eye was his, Feng Yi Xuans. He will be loyal to Nian Nian. Before, he did not touch other women, nor will he in the future! Only Nian Nian can be by his side, he will only touch Nian Nian!
After a moment of conflict, Feng Yi Xuan flew to prime minister manor. He had to admit that he could not let go of that little heartless girl. He honestly is looking for more hardship for himself to endure!
An Er following behind wore an expression of, sure enough, he just knew even if master was drugged, master did not have a mans impulse. Sure enough, master was too good at cleansing his heart and restraining desires. Dont know if there is a problem with master, maybe he should find a doctor for master? If, at this time, Feng Yi Xuan who was worrying for Lan You Nian, knew his shadow guards thoughts, he will definitely cut into pieces. He is not without desire, he only has desire for Nian Nian!
Chapter 64

secretdreamwishes
Eldest young master, a maidservant came up beside Lan Mo Xian and whispered.
Whats the matter? Lan Mo Xian nced at this woman whom he recognized as Lan Yas servant girl and couldnt help asking. He honestly cant understand what this younger sister of his is about.
Its like this. Third young misss clothes are dirty, so eldest miss went with the third miss to the inner courtyard to change clothes, but something went wrong. Eldest miss has this vee to inform eldest young master! The maidservant bowed her head down low, so Lan Mo Xian was unable to see the maidservants expression; he didnt see that maidservants trembling lips.
What? Did something happen to Nianer? What happened? Lan Mo Xian asked anxiously. He honestly cared too much about this younger sister. If it were normally, he will definitely realize there was something unusual going on. However, he knew today the prime minister manor will make things difficult for his younger sister, so inevitably, he was much more anxious.
This ve doesnt know for sure. It seems third miss fell. At first, the eldest miss was going to find a doctor but third miss wants the eldest young master to go over, the maidservants muttered incoherently. She was simply obeying young misss instructions to deceive eldest young master to the room, but in front of the eldest young master, she was still nervous.
Lan Mo Xian stood up, Hurry, lead the way! Finished, he followed the maidservant, leaving the banquet, so anxious that he didnt even inform Lan Jian Jun. Right now, his heart waspletely filled with worry if his little sister was being bullied. How could she fall. Is it done by Prime Minister manor? At first, he felt sorry for this little sister, now, he hated he couldnt be the best older brother in the world. If little sister is injured again, then he was really too ipetent.
When Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An saw their good friend hurriedly left, their hearts already had some idea. What else can make Lan Mo Xian so anxious beside that little sister of his, Lan You Nian. It seems today is a hangmen* banquet ah. But the two did not move. After all, when Ming wang left, no one dares to say anything, especially as Ming wang has always been like this. Now that a General Che Qi left the banquet, if there were any more people leaving, then today will definitely cause tongues to wag.
*(Hongmen banquetCa feast or meeting set up as a trap for the invited)
Lan Mo Xian followed the maidservant to a small courtyard. The maidservant bowed, Eldest young master, third miss is in the room. You can go in directly!
Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian were not overly conventional people. Usually, Lan Mo Xian often enters You Nian Pavilion. In addition, now worried about younger sisters situation, Lan Mo Xian directly pushed the door to enter the room, but as soon as he entered the room, the outside door was already locked.
Nianer? Lan Mo Xian searched the room but didnt see his younger sister. At this time, he was certain he has been tricked and involved in some kind of conspiracy. Then where is his Nianer meimei?
Lan You Nian stood outside the window of the room. Seeing the servant girl bringing her older brother into the room, what did she not understand? Sure enough, what a vicious heart. Not only did they want to ruin her innocence, they even want to ruin the reputation of her older brother. Although she and Lan Mo Xian were not biological brother and sister, in the eyes of society they were brother and sister. If brother and sister has an illicit affair, then one can imagine that not only herself even Lan Mo Xian will lose everything. Lan You Nians eyes surged with a violent storm.
An Yi! Lan You Nian summoned An Yi who has been following behind her.
Miss Lan, An Yis attitude towards Lan You Nian was very respectful. Although Lan you Nian didnt understand, she didnt think too much on it.
Can you open the window and take my brother away? After I finish my matters, I will go find older brother, Lan You Nian said. It wasnt an order but a discussion. After all, An Yi wasnt her own subordinate. She had no right to order anything.
Of course, but Miss Lan, its too dangerous all by yourself! An Yi said. Masters orders were to take care of Miss Lan. If anything happens to Miss Lan, his ending will be tragic.
No problem. I can protect myself! After Lan You Nian finished speaking, she disappeared into the corner. An Yi considered, true, he has seen Miss Lans martial arts, there shouldnt be a problem.
Lan Mo Xian was currently in the room wondering what was going on. Suddenly the window opened from the outside and An Yi leapt in.
An Yi? How is it you? Lan Mo Xian was puzzled, the more he felt that something has happened to his little sister, Nianer? Have you seen Nianer?
Mo Xian, dont worry! Miss Lan is fine. Now youe with me! When An Yi finished, he jumped out. Lan Mo Xian and An Yi have known each other for a long time, moreover, the two were also friends, so he did not hesitate to follow An Yi, leaving the room.
Lan You Nian came out from within the shadows. Looking at the room that had no more scent of aphrodisiac, she turned and flew out.
Lan You Nian, you slut! You deserve to die! I must destroy you! Lan Zhiid on the bed continuously cursing, her face full of resentment. Lan You Nian stood outside the room listening to the viciousnguage, the smile in her eyes was thick but there was no warmth.
Taking a medicinal pill that was on her body, she crushed it, letting the medical fragrance enter the room with the wind all the while without Lan Zhi knowing. At this time, An Yi who has already taken Lan Mo Xian and left, quickly arrived at the side of Lan You Nian, respectfully asked, What are Miss Lansmands?
Prime Minister manor should have a grandson, right? Lan You Nians asked with an unknown tone.
Yes! An Yi answered. He now knew what the Prime Minister manor wanted to do. It was absolutely unforgivable. They not only wanted to destroy their matriarch, but they also wanted to ruin his friend. Ai Yi felt that although he was a shadow guard, he was still angered he wanted to kill something.
Feng Yi Xuan should have a spy in Prime ministers manor. Help me bring the young master of Prime ministers family here. Lan You Nian reached out and tucked some strands of her scattered hair behind a snow-white ear, Since the y has already started, how can it not continue to act out?
An Yis first reaction was that one should never provoke this woman, especially a capable woman like the matriarch. His second reaction was, aima, this idea was great! This old prime minister always opposes his master, but well see this time him losing all face!
Why arent you going yet? Who knew when Feng Yi Xuan appeared and snapped at An Yi, not understanding what his subordinate was stupidly standing there for.
An Yi left with a whoosh, his heart was brimming with excitement. He was happiest doing bad things! Sure enough, following Miss Lan is much more fun than following the cold and frigid master.
In fact, as soon as Feng Yi Xuan came, Lan You Nian already sensed him but she didnt hide anything. She was not an ignorant little girl. She was a bloom of poisonous spider lily. No matter how others see her, she was not a good person. It was simple truth that she seeks revenge for any grievances.
Do you want to bring your big sister here too? Feng Yi Xuan was even more furious towards the things these people wanted to do to his Nian Nian, so angry he wanted to kill people. But he cant. The girl in front of him had her own thoughts, had her own ideas; he was learning to respect her.
Lan You Nian was naturally stupefied. She believed someone like Feng Yi Xuan would disdain someone like her who seeks revenge for every grievance. But she didnt expect that when he heard such a vicious strategy of hers, he still stood so calmly beside her, even with a posture of wanting to help. This feeling of being trusted was really nice.
No need, this is enough! Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan in reply. That pair of ck bright eyes seemed to be fogged with ayer of wetness, like a first-rate ss, radiantly splendid.
It wasnt that she was kind, nor that she couldnt bear it, but simply because if this matter was made too big, it will inevitably have an impact. Now that she has epted the identity of the legitimate daughter of Lan manor, if she fought too fiercely with Prime minister manor, it was bound to rm the Empress, then afterwards, it will be the second prince. Then in the future, her troubles will be too much. If so many people attacked her all at once, she really might be a little overwhelmed.
Hmph! Feng Yi Xuan was still ufortable in his heart. The girl in front of him was too wonderful, so wonderful that he wanted to cradle her in his hands to protect her, but these people actually dared to use such dirty things on her, so infuriating!
How about we knock Prime Minister An out and bring him over and toss him in with the girl inside. Only this will vent anger! Feng Yi Xuan did not perceive how horrifying his idea was. He was not a kind-heart person in the first ce. All these years who knows how many people he has killed. His methods are sometimes cruel and horrifying.
Lan You Nian didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to be so savage. If Prime Minister An and his own granddaughter got together, then...thinking about that picture, Lan You Nian feltpletely unable to ept it. Moreover, if Feng Yi Xuan did this, this was directly dering war with the Empress. Then in the future, his days wont be very peaceful. This man seemed to be really good to her.
Um, if you do this, do you know if it was found out that you intervened, Feng Yi Xuan, do you know the consequences? Lan You Nian fixed her gaze on Feng Yi Xuan, seeming very puzzled. Was her saving his life really that big a deal? At this time, how could Lan You Nian know, only because the one who saved him was her Lan You Nian, so the cold like ice Feng Yi Xuan will be like this? If it were anyone else, how could he keep in mind constantly?
It doesnt matter. You dont like so I will definitely have them disappear in front of you! Feng Yi Xuans sharp gaze narrowed, the tall and straight body was straight as a sword bursting out of its sheath, the surrounding aura burst out instantly. The bearing of a powerful person disdainful of everything caused Lan You Nian, for no reason at all, feel reassured.
Oh, Lan You Nian didnt know what to say in front of such a Feng Yi Xuan, she could only awkwardly change the topic, Your body? Is it fine?
Nian Nian is concerned about me? Feng Yi Xuans eyes lit up, listening to the girls seemingly concerns words, his former dejection from the girl wanting him to find other women dissipated.
Lan You Nian remained silent. She honestly didnt know how to answer. Although she now considers Feng Yi Xuan a friend, in the ancient times, Feng Yi Xuans status was too high, so that if she says theyre friends, it was somewhat ridiculous!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt care if Lan You Nian didnt say anything, and self-satisfied said, I just knew Nian Nian cares about me! Feng Yi Xuan had a touch of curvature to his lips, within the beautiful and coquettish was an intense pampering. Then he said, How can that dirty thing hurt me? I am not a casual man!
The eager exnation in the discourse was like proudly expressing he was very powerful, This wangs body and heart all belong to the future wangfei! Even though he really wanted to say his body and heart all belonged to the girl in front of him, but looking at Nian Nians petite body and age, Feng Yi Xuan thought twice. After all, Nian Nian was still young. She doesnt understand these matters, they can go slow. Besides, isnt this already getting a little closer?
Pu Hearing the clearly 19-year-old seem to have a childish tone Lan You Nian couldnt help burst intoughter. It seems she hasntughed this happily for a long time.
Master, Miss Lan, the thing is done! An Yi appeared behind the two, breaking the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere between them.
What was left, Lan You Nian did not want to go see so she circted her qinggong and took off. Her brother Lan Mo Xian was still waiting there, who knows how worried he is.
You stand watch. Nothing is allowed to go wrong! Feng Yi Xuan instructed An Yi and then left with Lan You Nian, giving off a feeling of wife sings husband follows.

65 Missing
January 21, 2019
secretdreamwishes
*Yiniang, third sister is missing! Lan Ya hastily made her way to An yiniang, her anxious voice carried a hint of ambiguous desire.
What? How can this be? As soon as An yiniangs voice eximed this, the nearer tables of matrons and youngdies were all made aware of this matter. They couldnt help but wonder how todays banquet had so many problems arising?
Nianer meimei is missing? What did you do!? This junzhu warn you, if something happened to Nianer meimei, just wait and see! Hua Mu Qing stood up with a shout. She lived in this circle from an early age, how can she not be aware of some peoples endless schemes? But she didnt expect that in such a short time they actually had ns about Nianer meimei. If something really happened to Nianer meimei, she will definitely not let go of Lan Ya-this girl.
Someonee. Go search. You must find Lan manors third young miss! An Gong Jing gave out the order, reprimanding all the servant girls and servants below. After An Gong Jing made such a scene, who on the banquet didnt know that Lan You Nian has gone missing?
Lan Jian Juns brows furrowed. He knew that today would not go smoothly, but thought that Prime Minister An will only make things difficult for Nianer like he did earlier. He didnt expect things will be like this. Gone missing? What these words represented, Lan Jian Jun knew clearly. Turning around, prepared to have his son help, he realized his son too was missing.
Crap! Feng Xia Qi thought of Lan Mo Xian who just left the banquet and knew that someone definitely schemed on Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian together. Lan Mo Xians rtionship with them was very good, and that Miss Lan they were wholeheartedly fond of; if these two people had an ident, Feng Xia Qi knew he could not be indifferent.
Look at the situation first! Jing Wu An was also aware that things were not simple. Perhaps from the moment Nianer meimeis clothes were soiled, the trap has already been set. But he didnt expect that this trap will implicate Lan Mo Xian. Prime Minister An, indeed calcting! But no matter what happens today, they must sessfully save Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian.
How could something like this happen? Today is this old mans birthday, yet something like this actually happened; it is really this old mans negligence. Go find immediately! Prime Minister An looked at Lan Jian Jun with gleaming eyes, though his lips formed anxious words but the same could not be said of his eyes.
Something like this happened, everyone had a variety of thoughts, but gradually all started searching. At this time, Lan Jian Jun was very anxious. He was not afraid of Prime Minister An impeaching him, nor afraid of the bloodiness of the battlefield, but today he was not a general, nor an official of the court; he was only a father, a restless father.
Lan Ya supported An yiniang to the room from before with smug smiles on their face. Near, near! Soon they would see the contemptuous appearance Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nians illicit sexual rtion. Haha, how can they still have a foothold in Lan manor in the future? How can they stay in this capital in the future?
However, when they were still a dozen steps away from that room, just when the smile on Lan Yas face couldnt be concealed, just when An yiniang was already prepared to shout the previously prepared lines, just when that old face of Prime Minister Ans revealed a smug expression, a sound came from the corner.
Big sister, I finally found you! The girl in a white ruqunpliantly stood beside the older brother. When seeing her older sister, her eyes shed with pleasure, as if a child, though she was only a child. She ran up to Lan Ya, Big sister, didnt you say you didnt feel well? Why are you still running around? Older brother and I looked for you for a long time!
Lan You Nian didnt even get to Lan Yas side before she was grabbed by the shoulders by Lan Jian Jun who has been anxiously looking for her. Looking left, looking right, for fear his daughter suffered any injury or any grievances. Such a direct concern and real worry made Lan You Nian almost couldnt continue on acting anxious, with a slight smile that was alienated, General Lan, this little girl is fine!
Lan You Nians voice wasnt loud but Lan Jian Jun heard it clearly. The hands holding Lan You Nians shoulders trembled. Feeling the thin frail shoulders in his palms, Lan Jian Jun held back the thoughts in his heart and anxiously asked, Yaer said you went missing, what is going on?
Lan Jian Jun asked the exact question everyone wanted to ask. Next to him, Hua Mu Qing prattled on as she ran to Lan You Nians side and worriedly asked, Nianer meimei, what is going on? Did someone bully you? Then looking back at the pale-faced Lan Ya she demanded, Didnt you say Nianer meimei was missing? What is this?
Mo Xian, what happened? Feng Xia Q, seeing the two were fine, sighed in relief. Since nothing happened, then they better let some people have something to remember.
Ming wang just left, so I took a stroll with Ming wang. I didnt expect to see Nianer meimei lost her way. When I asked, it turns out eldest little sister was sick and left the room, leaving Nianer meimei all alone. Nianer meimei worried for eldest little sisters health so begged me to find a doctor to look at eldest little sister. Lan Mo Xians words contained inexplicable mocking. Thinking back to what his little sister just told him, Lan Mo Xian felt chilled in his heart. These people actually used this method to ruin himself and his little sister, do they think the people of Lan manor were easy to bully?
When everyone heard this, they noticed the man sitting in the courtyard not far away, wasnt that Feng Yi Xuan? Everyone looked back to Lan Ya. How could they not understand?
Ufortable? This junzhu didnt see any ufortable about eldest young miss. But someone leaving their own little sister all alone, and now toying with everyone like a monkey, this junzhu did see! Hua Mu Qing disdainfully looked at Lan Ya. The words spoken made everyones faces look ugly. After all, today they came to participate in the birthday banquet. Lan Zhi deliberately looked for trouble-fine, but now this Lan manors eldest young miss, wasnt she said to be respectful and sensible? Now it seems not only was she full of lies, she deliberately deceived everyone.
Today all those who came to the birthday banquet which person wasnt someone with prestige. To be toyed with in such a way, a breath was suppressed in their hearts; everyones expression was ugly. Lan You Nian, seeing what she wanted has been achieved, she couldnt helpughing in her heart. She actually started to consider things for Lan Jian Jun, so she wanted to frustrate the prime ministers spirit.
This Lan manors eldest miss is too insensible! A noble matron standing in the crowd said with dissatisfaction. Normally she was respected by the juniors. When was there a time when even a girl who wasnt even the legitimate daughter dared to toy with her?
Really dont know how this An yiniang teaches children. You see, today the two daughters dont know their ce! The noble matron next to her agreed. Originally, she looked down on An yiniangs identity as a yiniang but she still put on airs in the capital.
But look at the legitimate daughter. Legitimate will be legitimate. You see Lan manors third miss, although she is disfigured, the surrounding aura is iparable by others, there was also a noble matron looking at Lan You Nian in appreciation.
Lan Ya, you tell me what is going on here? Unlike the anxious concern towards Lan You Nian, Lan Jian Juns attitude towards Lan Ya was much chillingly hardened, there was no trace of loving benevolence of a father. Lan You Nian looked at such a Lan Jian Jun, then carefully studied Lan Ya and Lan Yin following behind; her eyes shed.
Father, I...I.. Lan Ya didnt know how to exin. Clearly everything was nned out, moreover, Lan You Nian stayed in that room for so long, how could nothing has happened? That aphrodisiac was so overbearing, how could nothing has happened? Moreover, how did Lan You Niane out? Could it be that Lan Mo Xian who went inter saved Lan You Nian? Then have they...
How can you be okay? Lan Ya with dazed thoughts actually blurted out the thoughts in her heart. It was toote when she finally reacted.
Pa! Hua Mu Qing stalked over and gave Lan Ya a p. This p can be said to be very powerful. Lan Yas cheeks became swollen quickly. Lan Ya pointed at Hua Mu Qing, but Hua Mu Qings with her arrogance didnt take her seriously.
Eldest miss Lan is really good-hearted. Are you cursing Nianer meimei? Or is it you wanted to do something today? Hua Mu Qings temper was not good in the first ce, but she was never like this usually. Thats because those who suffered were not her own friends, but she Hua Mu Qing was someone who valued friendship. If someone dared to touch her own friends, she will not forgive them!
Junzhu is hurting people without restraint; it is really too arrogant! This is prime minister manor, not junzhu manor! An Gong Jing seeing his niece being hit, he felt he lost face. His own father couldnt say anything, only he could say a few words.
Eldest miss Lan does not give any regard to seriousness of the matter. Being pped by junzhu is deserved. After all, we today came to celebrate Prime Minister Ans birthday, not to be clowns! Jing Wu An spoke out to help Hua Mu Qing. The several people were ymates who yed together since little.
Enough, this is the end of this matter. Today is Prime Minister Ans birthday, dont let your moods be ruined by this, Feng Xia Qi with gentle smile stood up to solve the problem. The fact was that he just received a look from his own familys younger brother to have him to lead the people to another ce, Since Nianer meimei is alright, everyone should go back to continue to eat!
Feng Yi Xuan slowly walked out of the pavilion. He once again heard the words Nianer meimei, his heart felt a burst of ufortableness. When did his own brother want a little sister? Why didnt he know?
When everyone heard what fourth wangye suggested, and second wangye also seconded it, all with fake smiles prepared to go back. In their hearts they praised fourth wangyes broad breadth of mind and umon bearing. After all, something like this happened yet fourth wangye helped speak for others, indeed it was the capitals most gentle fourth wangye. But recalling fourth wangyes two words of meimei it was also a burst of horror. This Lan manors third miss really has gotten quite the luck. Not only a junzhu called her little sister,ter Heir Jing was the same, now even fourth wangye considered her as a little sister, thenter, will it be Ming wang?
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Xia Qi, in her heart felt more and more her first impression was correct, wasnt this a shrewd fox?
The way back wasnt the same one, but because there was fourth wangye and Ming wangye in the front, the people behind all very consciously followed. After all, the road to the banquet was the same. Who knew that this was all purposefully devised by Lan You Nian? If she ced the two people in her room, no matter what she said, she will be suspected. But if it was her (Lan Zhi) room, moreover with it being unwittingly discovered then it will definitely be a brilliant performance!
Prime Minister An inadvertently saw the secretive smile that shed through Lan You Nians eyes on top of the veil. He didnt know why but there was a feeling of something was going to happen.
Along the way, many people deliberately made small talk as they headed towards the hall, but just as they passed a room, a flirtatious and sweet feminine voice and a low-pitched masculine voice made everyone freeze. What was up with today? Was there not enough excitement already?
Chapter 66
66 The Birthday Banquet Gone Bad
January 28, 2019
secretdreamwishes
The crowd of people locked eyes with each other in askance. The sound that made ears blush and hearts race still continued inside. The married women already covered up the ears of their unmarried daughters. The men also looked embarrassed. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ans face can no longer use ugly to describe.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes implicitly nced at Lan You Nian. Her ears were being covered by Hua Mu Qing. Her eyes were bright and clear, as if not even a little shy. Feng Yi Xuan couldnt helpment, his familys Nian Nian really is too young, now she only knows about being drugged, but probably doesnt know anything about the matters between men and women. It seems that he will have to slowly teach it to her in the future.
Drag out the people who are inside! I want to see who dares to be so shameless in the prime ministers manor! Feng Xia Qi shouted furiously as if he was someone from the prime minister manor. Lan You Nian couldnt bear to look at it.
Feng Yi Xuan shot him a look, his eyes ringly said, Its too fake!
Feng Xia Qi ignored the twitching eyes of his friends and continued to yell, What are you still standing here for! Now the atmosphere of this capital is so filthy!, Feng Xia Qi acted one segment after another. Prime Minister An who wanted to stop him had no way to stop him. After all, if he insisted on not letting others in, what would everyone think? The prestige that Prime Minister manor has umted over the years will probably be destroyed!
There was already a guard opening the door. The strong scent of sex inside still made everyones faces red, but this isnt the most important thing. The most important is the two who were suddenly interrupted and hiding in the quilt, wasnt it Lan Zhi who has been carried down and Prime Minister Ans most beloved grandson An Ping?
Ah Lan Zhis scream made Lan You Nians, who nned all of this, eyes sh with a bright smile. Cant even bear this little matter? Indeed, too weak! Feng Yi Xuan who has been silently watching Lan You Nian saw the mischievous look on Lan You Nian of a child who has done bad things, dont know why but his heart felt itchy, as if as long as she reveals such a look, he can do anything, regardless if it is right or wrong, it didnt matter.
Meanwhile, An Ping who has sobered, waking up to so many peoples eyes of the contempt, felt embarrassed. He recalled being called over by this younger cousin-sister. After he came, this cousin-sister started to tease him. He was not a gentleman in the first ce, how can he not eat the meat that serves itself to him? Besides, cousin-sisters looks were umonly good. Half-declining half-epting, the two rolled together, but he didnt expect this thing will be discovered by so many people.
Bastard! An Gong Jing came to his son before his father could fly into a rage and ruthlessly gave his son a p, while using a tone of hating iron for not turning to steel as he called him a bastard. Lan Zhi who shrank herself into the quilt was stupefied by the sudden event. The pain on her body made her aware that she was finished, she was really finished! Her pure body was ruined by her cousin-brother. Moreover, so many people knew of it, she was unmarried yet fools around with men, how can she bear such a reputation?
Its you, its you, how can you do this? You are a rogue! In the chaos, Lan Zhi pushed all the me onto cousin-brother An Ping. She only knew that she was resting in her room and in a blink of an eye her innocence was ruined. Her cousin-brother has always beenscivious. Lan Zhis eyes were full of hate as they red at An Ping, her two hands constantly wing towards An Ping.
An Ping wasnt going to do anything from the start. After all, he was a man so he didnt suffer any losses from this kind of thing. Since he took cousin-sister, he will simply marry her, but he didnt think that his cousin-sister would be so insensible. Not only did she seduce him, she even deliberately ced all the fault on him. This wing and beating with a shrewish look caused An Pings pity for Lan Zhi to disappear.
Grandfather, father, it is cousin-sister who invited son here. But as soon as I entered the room, cousin-sister seduced me. It is this sons fault for not resisting the temptation and in a moment of weakness made a mistake. Beg grandfather, father for punishment! An Ping didnt even get to put on clothes before he knelt down on the ground to plead with Prime Minister An and An Gong Jing.
Lan You Nian didnt even see the naked body before having her eyes covered by Hua Mu Qing, who kept on saying, Nianer meimei, dont look. Careful lest it leads you astray!
Then Mu Qing jiejie are you looking? Lan You Nianughed, not caring if her eyes were covered. This feeling of having a sister wasnt bad.
I, I, I, of course, I didnt look! Hua Mu Qing stuttered. Just as she finished saying, her eyes were covered by a pair of wide palms.
Junzhu, you are also a female. How can you be so shameless? I said you will lead Nianer meimei astray didnt I? You clearly saw it but still lied, Lan Mo Xian likewise covered up Hua Mu Qings eyes, but the words pouring from his mouth werent nice.
Hey, Lan Mo Xian, do you have enmity with me? Dont ruin my image in front of Nianer meimei! Hua Mu Qing withdrew her hands that were covering up Lan You Nians eyes, ruthlessly pping away Lan Mo Xians palm.
Junzhu still has an image? Howe I dont know? Lan Mo Xian said naturally.
You are vicious! Hua Mu Qing was forced without anything to say. She, a woman, being friends with several men, there were a lot of embarrassing things. She really has no image left.
Lan You Nian looked between the two people who refused to be one-upped by the other. For some reason, no matter how you looked at it, there was love in the air. Moreover, what was this visual of quarrelsome lovers? If Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing got together, en, Lan You Nian nodded, she felt it would be wonderful.
The maids helped An Ping and Lan Zhi into clothes. Both of them were kneeling at the feet of Prime Minister An. Lan Zhi listlessly looked at the people whispering around her. Even her mother and older sister didnt speak for her. Her father didnt even give her a nce. Lan Zhis heart was filled with hatred, hated she couldnt kill everyone!
You tell me just what is going on here? Prime Minister An pointed at the page-boy who followed beside An Ping, but the threat behind the words made the page-boy understand, Prime Ministers meaning was to protect the young master, then all the responsibility will be pushed onto Second Miss Lan to shoulder.
Second Miss Lan sent someone to find young master. When young master came over, second miss Lan started to seduce young master. By then, this ve already withdrew. What happened next is unknown, the page boy knelt on the ground saying.
You lie! Lan Zhi wanted to beat up the page boy but was held down by the guards around her, He is lying! I didnt! Grandpa, I didnt ah! It was cousin who forced me!
For Lan Zhis insensibility, Prime Minister An and An Gong Jing both hardened their face. Losing a young miss who didnt even count as An familys was nothing, but they cant lose An familys young master. Moreover, after today, Lan Zhi was already the abandoned chess piece. For a discarded chess piece, An family never shows any pity, let alone a sacrificial piece that didnt know its ce.
An yiniang looked at her wailing second daughter. She felt unbearably upset in her heart but not only was she Lan Zhis mother, she was also An familys daughter. The backing behind her was An family, without An family, she wasnt anything. In the future, not only her but her children will have nowhere to go. So at this moment, An yiniang could only pinch Lan Yas arm but didnt say any words of pleading.
No? Cousin-sisters words are really strange. This is obviously the room you rest in. I was at the banquet when someone passed the message that you were looking for me. It was heard by others. What is cousin-sisters meaning? An Ping, seeing grandfather and father acting such, knew nothing will happen him today, his courage grew bigger.
I... Lan Zhi still wanted to deny something but didnt know how to deny it. Her brain was muddled.
Since you and Pinger already have the rtions between husband and wife, choose an auspicious day to marry to Pinger. We were already prepared for you to marry you to Pinger, only, you girl, are too eager, With one word, Prime Minister An already determined the matter. After all, if Lan Zhi married An Ping, this matter can be considered over with. This thing happening between husband and wife was normal though it was before marriage, people will just me Lan Zhi for being shameless, thats all.
Congrattions grandfather. Second Miss Lan and eldest young master An are well-matched. This is also a fine marriage! Second wangye Feng Shao Chu stood up to resolve this awkward situation.
After Feng Shao Chu said this, everyone also offered congrattions. Clearly they came to celebrate a birthday now its turned into congrattions for a marriage, but no one exposed this matter. Even Feng Xia Qi sincerely congratted Prime Minister An, but the words that were said, tsk tsk, made Prime Minister Ans old face red. One can only imagine how poisonous this foxs mouth is.
With a birthday banquet bing like this, everyone found a reason to take leave, but Lan You Nian when passing in front of Lan Zhi, slightly lowered near Lan Zhis ear, Arent you happy? What you have done to Lan You Nian, I will return one by one! It was a clearly soft tone but it was like a ghost whisper in Lan Zhis ears.
Looking at the intact Lan You Nian, Lan Zhi knew that she has been plotted against. Opening her mouth ready to abuse but was stopped by An Ping beside her. Sullen and sinister eyes fell on Lan Zhi, You shut up! Then looking at Lan You Nian, his eyes were like a snake hissing his tongue.
Prime Minister An brooded as he looked at the back of Lan You Nian. Todays matter was originally aimed at Lan You Nian and Lan Mo Xian, but now its fell on their own hands. This girl wasnt simple. Since its not simple, then...
An yiniang looked at her husband who didnt even look at her nor at her daughter. He just simply left like this. An yiniang felt her heart be absolutely painful. How can this man be so cold-blooded?
Lan You Nian remained silent with a delicate smile as she followed Lan Jian Jun and others, leaving Prime Minister Manor, leaving behind the fury of the people of An manor.

67 Shoes
February 1, 2019
secretdreamwishes
The moonlight of early summer was quiet and cool, so faint, so soft, like flowing water, quietly rushing through the window into the room, embellishing the floor with a variegated appearance. Lan You Nian stood in front of the window with her bare feet, like many nights in the past, gazed at the bright moon in the sky
Young miss, Lan Feng sighed as she picked up the cloak left on the side, carefully tucked Lan you Nian under the cloak. Inside, her heart hurt for this master who was much smaller than her.
How are you back? Lan You Nian asked. After all, Lan Feng actually needed a little more than half a month to return. It was incredibly rare for her toe back so early. Lan Feng was not as clingy as Lan Wu; Lan Feng was more self-reliant. Despite being a woman, she, like Lan Ren, could easily handle many matters.
Young miss is still so muddled, Lan Feng frowned, puzzled. It can be said that her familys young miss was so smart that it wasnt human but still can be as muddled as a child, Young miss has forgotten. That day of this month ising soon!
Lan You Nian suddenly understood. Every month, it wasnt her monthlies that will arrive. After all, with her current age, that thing hasnt arrived yet. Lan Feng was talking about the day the poison activates every month. Every month, the day the poison activates would always be between the 15-19. Every time the poison activates, she will not have any capability of self-defense. In the past, when the poison activated, either it was in the Medical Valley, or it was in Wu Qing Pavilion; both were safe. But now in the capital, it seems Lan Feng wasnt at ease.
En, dont worry! Lan You Nian advised. In fact, every time the poison activated, although she was in pain, those who stayed with her was equally miserable. Every time after the poison activated, she will notice these silly girls had red-rimmed eyes as they stood at the door entrance. Because their hearts ached for her, so a lot of times, when it was nearly time for the poison to activate, she will always return to the Medical Valley but now, in such circumstances, she definitely cannot return to the Medical Valley.
Lan Feng, these two pills, ce one in Lan Zhis tea water and watch her drink it. As for the other, give it to the young master of Prime Ministers manor, An Ping, Lan You Nian took out two pills, the smirk hanging on the corner of her lips was like that of a rich yboys.
Lan Feng already has an understanding of the wicked ploys of her master, so at this moment was very sympathetic of Lan Zhi and An Ping. After all, these drugs that young miss used were developed by third young master. The poison developed by third young master were truly shocking the entire world and moving ghosts and gods.
Seeing Lan Feng leave, just as Lan You Nian was prepared to rest, she was suddenly picked up from behind. Her entire body was surrounded by a fresh mint vor that made people want to sink into it.
Feng Yi Xuan! Lan You Nian hissed. One day, she will be scared out of her wits by this man. Seeing as now even in her own room, she couldnt take off her veil, you can tell how much she dreaded him. And this man, sure enough, unabashedly broke into her boudoir in the middle of the night.
Call Xuan! Feng Yi Xuan said earnestly then sat Lan You Nian on the bed. That aloof man whose smiles and words were usually so stingy, crouched down and with gentle movements picked up the socks and shoes beside the bed. Then, with tender eyes, he picked up the shoes and gently ced them on the small white tender feet of Lan You Nian, moving back and forth twice. With of face of inquiry, he asked, Is it cold?
She wouldnt know how angry he was when he entered the room and saw the girl, he thought of constantly standing in front of the window with her small bare white feet. After all, a womans feet cant be casually exposed but what made him angry the most was that this girl didnt know how to take care of herself. The early summers night was still a little cool, but this girl seemed unaware. When his palm touched the girls little feet, only then did Feng Yi Xuan notice how small the girls feet were, just like her hands, delicately small and white, but he cared most about the ice-cold temperature of the foot in his hands. In this weather, it was not normal at all. Recalling that Nian Nians body temperature seemed to always be so low, he thought it was a problem with Lan You Nians body itself, but how could he know that it was because Lan You Nians poison was going to trigger very soon.
Lan You Nian dazedly gaped at Feng Yi Xuan putting on the shoes for her. In her memory, no one took care of her like this. In her past life, she was too independent. No matter what matter it was, she always did it by herself, with self-strength and self-reliance, really a veritable tough woman. In this life, her heart was already sealed up, and as she is without a mother, so this is, since she could remember, the first time someone put on shoes for her. The one who put shoes on her was a nations wangye, a war god on the battlefield, but now, he did these things with gentleness and indulgence.
Hn, remember to wear socks and shoes in the future, At first, Feng Yi Xuan had a pit of anger in his belly but when he helped Nian Nian put on the shoes, seeing the girl staring at him as if stupefied, that pair of eyes that were ck and white in sharp contrast glimmered with bright lights, like starlight falling down to earth, infinitely beautiful. Just like that, he didnt have any anger anymore, only sighed in his heart. If his girl doesnt know how to care for herself, he will take care of her. If she forgot to wear shoes, he will help her put them on. He will always be by her side safe-guarding her.
I know. Lan You Nian retracted the foot that Feng Yi Xuan held in the palm of his hands, but this feeling of being concerned about very distinctly lingered in Lan You Nians heart.
Looking at Lan You Nian who didnt seem to have any awareness at all, Feng Yi Xuan only felt that he has never said so many words in all these years as much as he spoke to Nian Nian, Womens feet can only be seen by the future husband. Today I saw your feet, so in the future, you can only marry me!
Marry you? Lan You Nians feet shifted ready to give Feng Yi Xuan a kick, but she knew very well that with Feng Yi Xuans skill, he can escape. But she didnt expect her kick to actuallynd on Feng Yi Xuans half-bent chest. However, Feng Yi Xuan, who was kicked, didnt move an inch, but Lan You Nian who gave the kick only thought how could this mans chest be so hard?
Feng Yi Xuan slowly stood up. There wasnt any displeasure with the Lan You Nians rude behavior. Based on his skill, he could easily dodge but no matter what Nian Nian wanted to do, he will spoil her, let alone a few kicks, even if she held a dagger, he will not even flinch.
I will never marry! Lan You Nian said resolutely, though its difficult to say if it was spoken to Feng Yi Xuan, or to herself. In this life, she never considered matters of love. She only hoped in this life to cure her poison and live a carefree life, wandering amongst the mountains and rivers. That poisonous emotions of love, she didnt want to touch nor dare to touch.
Not marry? Feng Yi Xuan frowned. Even in his dreams, all he dreamed about was that when Nian Nian grew up, he will marry her into his manor. This way, he would be perfectly justified to pamper her, and exhaust all means to treat her well, but this moment Nian Nian resolutely said she wont marry? Feng Yi Xuan felt that this problem was very serious, even more serious than the emergency reports on the battlefield.
Why should I marry? Lan You Nian seeing at such a solemn Feng Yi Xuan, dont know why but she had a desire to tease him. It seems that when she was with Feng Yi Xuan, she was always rxed. Clearly the two didnt know each other that long, but there was a feeling, a feeling that in front of him she could act without restraint, without fear.
Hmm Feng Yi Xuan considered the matter very seriously then very passionately said, Because someone will take care of you, protect you, and will be good to you!
The little person inside Lan You Nians heart fell over in giggles seeing Feng Yi Xuans all too serious face but her face remained unmoved, I still wont marry. I can take care of myself. I can protect myself. I can be good to myself. And I will not betray myself!
Lan You Niansst sentence was the fact of the matter. In the past, she was betrayed by her mother, betrayed by her older sister, betrayed by her lover. In fact, from beginning to end, only she will not betray herself. If so, why did she need someone else?
I wont betray you, Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nian, said passionately but softly. Instantly, Lan You Nian felt this man was very tolerant, so tolerant that it made her feel warm like the spring breeze of the third month. It was hard to imagine, a man with such an indifferent temperament would have such warm gaze like spring breeze.
Suddenly, she didnt want to continue this topic. At first, she only wanted to tease this man, but now seeing Feng Yi Xuans seriousness, she was unable to say anything. Moreover, it was already the middle of the night, Lan You Nians eyes sluggishly steeped with fatigue.
Sleep! Feng Yi Xuan pressed Lan You Nian back onto the bed, and just likest time, covered Lan You Nian with the nket. Then he stood at her bedside like a most loyal prince guarding Lan You Nian.
You go back! Lan You Nian said. She knew that this man had guarded her for an entire night. That night, she didnt have any nightmares, sleeping peacefully. But now, seeing this man standing guard here, dont know why she felt a hint of heartache.
Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips remaining silent but still very stubbornly stood in front of La You Nians bed gazing at Lan You Nian. Such an earnest burning gaze, how can Lan You Nian sleep? Feng Yi Xuan bent down, outstretched his hand covering up Lan You Nians eyes and said in a pampering tone, Sleep!
In the absence of vision, Lan You Nian can clearly feel the palm covering her eyes was wide and warm. The thin callouses on his fingers made this palm feel even more secure, as Lan You Nian kept thinking about this, she fell into peaceful slumber.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at the girl whose entire face wasnt even as big as the palm of his hand. The eyshes covered by his hand brushed against the palm of his hand. At first, it was still fluttering like a butterfly. The eyshes caressing the palm of his hand was ticklish, but Feng Yi Xuan was reluctant to remove it. Until theshes under his hand quieted and the girl lying on the bed fell asleep, only then did Feng Yi Xuan gingerly take off his hand. At this time, he really wanted to take off the veil covering Nian Nians face, but he resisted the temptation. He hoped that one day this girl will reveal her true face in front of his own eyes without any wariness infinitely trusting him. Regardless of what that face truly was like, it will always be the face he will cherish most.
Chapter 68
68 Catching a Disease
February 4, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Someonee! Find me a doctor! An Ping who was sleeping in the bed, for some reason, felt entirely weak and itchy. From his repeated scratches, areas of angry red rashes appeared on his skin.
Eldest master, whats wrong? a servant ran into An Pings room. He saw An Ping, on the bed, scratching here and there, seeming very ufortable.
Go, hurry! Find and bring me a doctor! Hurry up! An Ping yelled at the servant standing by the bed. The servant, frightened, immediately ran out to request a doctor.
A doctor of about fifty years diligently took the pulse of An Ping, an unnatural light shed through his eyes. He then again carefully examined the red rash on An Pings body. The concluding illness caused the old doctor to jump with a scare. He looked at An Ping but didnt dare to say what illness it was.
Doctor, what is this young masters illness? Why does it itch so much? An Ping kept scratching his body and impatiently asked the doctor who didnt say anything and was still inspecting. If it wasnt because this doctors medical skills in the capital were quite good, An Ping would already have the doctor thrown out. Examining for such a long time yet didnt make a peep, it really made people anxious!
Eldest young master An, please allow this old man to ask, have you had sexual intercourse recently? asked the old doctor.
Intercourse? An Ping was bbergasted. Although he didnt have a main wife, he had a lot of concubines. Even the tongfang servant girls werent few. Recently because of grandfathers birthday, he didnt fool around with any concubines. If saying there was, then it would be on grandfathers birthday, that day with Lan Zhi biaomei.
In the recent days, there is once. Doctor, whats wrong? Is there anything wrong with this young masters body? Rest assured, just concern yourself with healing. No matter what medicinal herbs, our prime minister manor has all! An Ping seeing the doctor speaking so ambiguously, felt afraid, but remembering the financial strength and power of his family n, as long as it wasnt a serious disease, it can be healed.
This... the old doctor stroked his beard. He really didnt know how to start the conversation, especially this disease. Even if he was a doctor, he cant guarantee that this Prime minister manors eldest young master wont kill him in order to prevent the secret from being divulged.
Speak! An Ping, under the old doctors hesitation, was even more afraid that he had an incurable disease, Does this young master have an incurable disease? If you dont speak, dont me this young master for making you unable to leave this prime minister manor!
Eldest young master Ans illness is really the flower disease (venereal disease)! the old doctor finally revealed the illness under the threat of An Ping, but as soon as the old doctor said this, he was pierced by the long sword An Ping drew from beside him.
Streaming rivulets of blood flowed out of the old doctors body. The old doctor could only look on as the life drained from his body, unable to save himself. He could only stare with wide eyes at that An Ping who killed without batting an eysh. An Ping threw down the long sword yelling, Nonsense! You are a quack. You even dare to curse this young master! Quack!
Although the servant was a little afraid, he was already ustomed to the young masters habit of killing people. He merely called over the guards outside toe in and drag the old doctors corpse out, quickly bury it, and eradicate all outsiders who knew of this.
You, find me another doctor! Remember, dont let others know. Bring him in quietly! An Ping put on his clothes, furiously ring at the blood on the ground. How could he catch such a shameful disease? Absolutely not! Absolutely not! That doctors medical skills must be not good, must be!
Eldest master, the doctors here, the servant stood outside the room and led another doctor into the room. An Ping, looking like nothings wrong,id on the bed and said to the doctor, Come over. See what is going on with his young masters body.
The same inspection was done again. The same question was asked. An Pings heart jumped all over the ce, but he still refused to give up and demanded, Tell me, what illness does this young master have? Tell me!
Flower, flower, eldest young master An has the flower disease! the doctor knelt on the ground stammering.
Flower disease? Its actually flower disease? An Ping felt the world was dark. How could he catch flower disease? None of the concubines in the manor were unclean and he never stayed overnight in a brothel for the reputation of the prime minister manor. If this was the case, then the reason for this disease can only be Lan Zhi! An Pings fists tightened. What a good Lan Zhi! Originally, he believed she was a virgin but didnt expect she was not only a loose woman but also a diseased slut! That day, to speak nothing of the design for him to lose face, she even transferred such a disgusting disease to him. He must kill her!
Tell this young master, is this disease curable? Can it be cured? An Ping kicked the doctor to the ground, refused to give up hope and demanded. He refused to give up. Nothing can happen to him. He was prime minister manors most favored eldest young master. In the future, all of the prime minister manor will be his. How could he catch this kind of shameful disease?
The doctor seeing such a terrifying An Ping, thought painstakingly and then cried joyfully, Yes, there is!
Really? An Ping neared the doctor and asked. As long as his disease can be cured, no matter how much it cost to heal him, he was still prime minister manors eldest young master.
Yes, its true! the doctor said tteringly, Wu Qing Medical Halls Young Master Gui Yi is Medical Valley Gui Yi Zis disciple. It is rumored that there is no disease in the world that he cant cure. Any kind of rare illness young master Gui Yi can cure!
Any disease?
Yes, any disease. Eldest young master An can inquire and youll know. Wu Qing Medical Halls reputation is known by everyone. His medical skills are unmatched in the world!
Even flower disease?
With young master Gui Yis medical skills, it is definitely possible. Eldest young Master An trust me, he really can!
Someonee, kill this man who has intentions to assassinate this young master! An Ping said to the guards outside the door. As soon as his voice fell, two guards entered and dragged out the doctor who kept pleading for mercy. Then there was no sound.
You, check out Wu Qing Medical Hall. Find me young master Gui Yi. No matter the cost, you must have him treat this young master! An Ping said to the servant. As long as the disease can be cured, he was not afraid. Relying on the power of his family n, was he afraid he cant find a Gui Yi?
Mother, Mother! Lan Zhi sat on the dressing table looking at herself in the mirror, then at her own body, and suddenly cried out sharply.
Second young miss, second young miss, whats wrong? The servant girl suddenly rushed into Lan Zhis boudoir and asked anxiously. Lan Zhi immediately covered up her clothes, shouting at the servant girl, Get out! Immediately! Get out!
An yiniang nodded at Qiuer; Qiuer took all the servant girls and left the room immediately to guard outside the room. An yiniang gazed at her second daughter with a sigh. She thought that her daughters emotions were suddenly out of control because she lost her innocence. After she persuaded her for a while, her daughters mood was much better and has epted reality. In fact, there was nothing wrong with her daughters marriage to her nephew. In An manor, daughter will have fathers protection. If she can bear a son for her nephew, perhaps prime minister manor will be even more prestigious.
Zhier, whats wrong? Didnt mother tell you, you have to ept this matter? Pinger, no matter if its appearance or status, is outstanding. What are you dissatisfied with? An yiniang went to Lan Zhi, ready to pull her daughter into her arms tofort her but Lan Zhi escaped An yiniangs touch.
Mother... Lan Zhis tears kept streaking down from her already red eyes. Her mouth opened and closed but was too upset to say anything.
Dont be afraid. Mother does everything for your own good, Zhier. Mother will help you, An yiniang dragged over daughters hand tofort her.
Lan Zhi suddenly began to unbutton her clothes. An yiniang was prepared to scold her, but suddenly widened her eyes. On Lan Zhis pure white body, there were red and blue splotches that already began to fester. Even when Lan Zhi opened her clothes, there was an unpleasant smell.
This... Even An yiniang was startled. What was going on? How could these things appear on her daughters body? Unless? An yiniang fearfully examined Lan Zhis body. She remembered she gave Lan You Nian a poison that made the skin fester, but after waiting for so many days, there was no movement. Yet now the same situation happened on her own daughters body. No, not the same. The situation on her daughters body was even more serious than that poison.
Mother, whats wrong with my body? What should I do? Mother, what should I do? Lan Zhi tugged on An yiniangs sleeves. She already epted the fact that she will marry cousin brother, but now her body has be like this, how can cousin-brother love her in the future?
Zhier dont panic, mother is here. Mother wont let anything happen to you. Dont be afraid, An yiniang gently pat Lan Zhis head, gentlyforting, then shouted to those outside the door, Qiuere in!
Madame, Qiuer curtsied, waiting for An yiniangs orders.
Qiuer let the housekeeper find a doctor toe to the manor. Remember to not to let others know, understand? An yiniang repeatedly reminded. Now that her daughters body became like this, if others knew, it will definitely make people suspect her daughter caught some disease. Then, when that happens, speaking of nothing else, even entering prime minister manor will be difficult.
Mother, mother... Lan Zhi fearfully cried. An yiniang tenderly looked at her daughter. Although she was vicious but towards her children, she was loving. Seeing her daughter be like this, she was also anxious.
Madame, the doctor is here! Qiuer brought the doctor into the room, then with one look from An yiniang, left the room to continue to guard outside.
Doctor,e see what is going on with my daughter? An yiniang said anxiously to the doctor, for fear that beingte will leave any scars on her daughters body.
The doctor immediately put down the medical box and then carefully examined Lan Zhis pulse. He then checked Lan Zhis face color and tongue, but after inspection, the doctor looked at Lan Zhi weirdly, as if disdainful of the Lan Zhi who anxiouslyid on the bed.
Doctor, is my daughter poisoned? An yiniang who saw there was something wrong with the doctors gaze, believed Lan Zhi has contracted some difficult to cure poison, while Lan Zhi was also afraid as sheid under the nkets on the bed, fearfully looked at the doctor.
This young miss isnt poisoned at all, the doctors words allowed An yiniang to release a sigh of relief, however the doctors next words, But this young miss has the flower disease!
When the doctor finished speaking, he opened a prescription. Meanwhile, inside, he was thinking how the morals have really deteriorated and were no longer what it was in the old days for an unmarried woman to actually got such a disease. After handing the prescription to An yiniang, the doctors tone was impatient, I cant cure such a disease. Please ask Madame to find someone more qualified.
Looking at the doctors departing back, An yiniang felt cold all over. Lan Zhi, lying on the bed, kept crying. How could she catch this disease? It must be cousin-brother. At this time, Lan Zhi regretted. She regretted they schemed against Lan You Nian, for now, she has fallen to such an end.
Qiuer, give that doctor some silver. Dont let him reveal even a sliver of todays matters, do you hear me? An yiniang ordered Qiuer, then looked at the daughter who was half dead from crying. Her heart felt ufortable for a moment, flower disease, she never heard this kind of disease can be cured. This daughter can be considered ruined, but she had another daughter and a son; she wont lose.
Zhier, dont cry, mother will help you, An yiniang coaxed but there was no longer any love in her eyes.
Really? Lan Zhi raised her haggard face and asked, afraid she will be abandoned by her mother. She knew that while her mother loved them, her children, but if they were useless, they probably will be thrown away.
Really. You are mothers daughter; how could mother lie to you? An yiniang hugged Lan Zhi to her but when she smelled her daughters body odor, she revealed a disgusted expression. At this time, all of An yiniangs thoughts revolved around one single point, that all of this was caused by Lan You Nian. She will not let go of that little slut!
Chapter 69
69 Inviting Friends to Feast
February 15, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Lan Feng, send these invitations to the above people. Remember to do it secretly, Lan You Nian handed the invitations in her hands to Lan Feng. Lan Feng received the invitations and speedily left.
Young miss, are you going out? Lan Qu neatened Lan You Nians clothes and stood next to Lan You Nian.
En, call Lan Wu over. She is probably bored to death these few days! Lan You Nian chuckled. Lan Wus personality was very lively. It wasparable to Hua Mu Qing. Before in Wu Qing Pavilion, it was still ok but if she returned to the Medical Valley, she fluttered around like a butterfly.
Really? Young miss wants to take us out? Lan Qu came out from inside, happily asked. Although she liked to stay by young misss side, in the past, young miss ran all over the ce, moreover, at Wu Qing Pavilion, there werent so many rules. There was so much more freedom.
En, you go to third brothers to tell third brother I will go to Zhen Wei Pavilion today. And, have third brother clean up a room on the third floor. Today, I have friends going over, Lan You Nian instructed.
Because there werent any matters recently, Lan You Nian remembered the matter she agreed to, to Yu Liu Li and others, saying when she had time, she will invite them to Zhen Wei Pavilion and that she will personally y a song for them. Those people treated her very well; they can be considered friends now. So today, Lan You Nian sent out invitations to Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, Yu Liu Li, Hua Mu Qing, and cousin brother He Chu Yang, which added up to arge table of people, so she wanted to entertain them on the third floor. Moreover, she hasnt seen third brother in a long time; Lan You Nian wanted to meet up with him.
The group of people was led by the management of Zhen Wei Pavilion to the third floor. Hua Mu Qing was shocked and eximed as she looked at theyout of the third floor, Wow. Its actually the third floor of Wu Qing Pavilions third floor ah!
En, Lan Mo Xian followed behind Feng Yi Xuan, looking at the eximing Hua Mu Qing, he snorted, All this shouting, absolutely no self-image of a junzhu!
What do you know? Wu Qing Pavilions third floor, beside Wu Qing gongzi and several mysterious young masters, no other people are allowed to enter. Say, how can Nianer meimei have Zhen Wei Pavilion invite us up to the third floor? After Hua Mu Qing received Lan You Nians invitation, she came with Jing Wu An and the others, very curious about how Nianer meimei can so easily enter Zhen Wei Pavilion.
The several people entered the room on the third floor. The room was elegantly decorated. It gave people thefortable feeling of a small cabin. At this moment Lan Mo Xians heart was very dissatisfied. He didnt expect for Nianer meimei to have invited so many people, even this Hua Mu Qing was invited, but didnt invite him this older brother. Lan Mo Xian felt so dejected that he was forgotten by his own little sister.
Wow, goddesss taste is indeed different. Look at the room; it even has a celestial aura, Yu Liu Li exaggerated, excited about receiving the invitation of his goddess.
Goddess? Who? Hua Mu Wing asked. After some introductions, Hua Mu Qing met Yu Liu Li and He Chu Yang. Everyones personality was forthright, so in a matter of minutes, they were familiar with each other.
Of course its Lan You Nian. Do you not know Miss Lans identity? Yu Liu Li gloated. After all, before, the first one to know his goddesss identity was Feng Yi Xuan. Yu Liu Li, because of this matter, was even depressed for a long time.
Nianer meimei is Nianer meimei ah, what other identity is there? Hua Mu Qing asked curiously, but its a pity, Yu Liu Li didnt say any more on the subject. Hua Mu Qing looked to Lan Mo Xian. Lan Mo Xian was still sad about not receiving an invitation, so didnt acknowledge Hua Mu Qing. As for Feng Yi Xuan, Hua Mu Qing shuddered, only if she wants to die will dare to ask this king of hell.
At this time, there was a knock at the door. Lan Wu respectfully but not servilely entered the room, and gave a slight curtsy, Young miss will be out soon. Please request every young master and young miss not to be anxious. Speaking of which it was quite strange for everyone came a lot earlier than the time Lan You Nian wrote on the invitation. Feng Yi Xuan, because of wanting to see Lan You Nian earlier, while the others either wanted to listen to a song or simply loved to y around.
Lan Wu brewed a cup of flower tea for each guest. The gentle fragrance stimted everyones sense of smell. Lan Mo Xian took a sip andmented, Nianer taught you this right? Lan Mo Xian observed the neither humble nor pert Lan Wu and couldnt help feeling the people by little sisters side werent simple. Although Lan Wus flower tea was brewed very well, butpared to Lan You Nian, it was stillcking.
Everyone started tasting the flower tea. Feng Yi Xuan took a sip of flower tea, his brows wrinkled, indeed, it wasckingpared to Nianers. Sure enough, Nianer was the best, a certain wangye was starting to be smug.
You are Nianer meimeis servant girl, right? Hua Mu Qing asked curiously. Which familys servant girl has this kind of temperament ah? Compared to those young misses of prestigious families, it was so much better. Sure enough, Nianer meimei was the most lovable.
Replying to junzhu, yes! Lan Wu replied softly. To the people her familys young miss has recognized, Lan Wu was very respectful. Moreover, this junzhu looked to be good-tempered. More importantly, she heard she treated young miss very well.
Aiya, dont be formal! Hua Mu Qing seeing Lan Wu curtsy stopped it, then fawned, They all know Nianer meimeis identity. Just what is Nianer meimeis identity ah? How can she enter Zhen Wei Pavilions third floor and entertain guests?
Lan Wu smiled slightly. Young miss told them before that the identity of Miss Miao Yin can be revealed. On one hand, it was fun, on the other, young miss trusted these people on some level. Moreover, if Miss Miao Yins identity was revealed, it wont affect young miss.
Young miss is Miss Miao Yin! Lan Wu said serenely, then chuckled as she watched Hua Mu Qings reaction.
Sure enough, Hua Mu Qing didnt disappoint. She stared at Lan Wu in shock, when she realized Lan Wu was not joking around, then cried out, AhNianer meimei is actually its Miao Yin, Hua Mu Qing pulled Lan Mo Xians sleeve, chatting excitedly, Miss Miao Yin ah. Miss Miao Yin who is worshipped by countless people! Lan Mo Xian, how can your life be so good?
These words not only were they the thoughts of Hua Mu Qing, but also that of Jing Wu An, Yu Liu Li, and others. After all, having such a talented and lovable younger sister, just thinking about it made one happy! But at this moment Lan Mo Xians heart felt even more wronged. Little sister didnt even give him an invitation. Currently, Lan Mo Xian was unable to run out of the strange circle of not having received an invitation.
Hua Mu Qing grabbed Lan Wus hand, excitedly asked, Miss Miao Yin at that time shocked the entire world with one song was three years, ago right? At that time, how old was Nianer meimei? Indeed, Nianer meimei is a genius! Hua Mu Qing said feelingly then nced at Jing Wu An, Jing Wu An, dont you usually look down on women? This time, you dont have anything to say!
Jing Wu An nodded with a chuckle. They grew up with Hua Mu Qing. Usually, when they yed around, Hua Mu Qing was like a wild monkey following them. But naturally, girls were physically weaker, so every time Jing Wu An was very contemptuous of Hua Mu Qing. Adding on to the fact that Jing Wu An was a genius so he inevitably had some arrogance. However, this arrogance does not darepare with Feng Yi Xuan because Jing Wu An knew, the real genius was Feng Yi Xuan.
The few people chatted until the door to the box was opened from the outside. Lan You Nian entered, still with her facial features covered. From far away it was like being covered by a mist, so beautiful it wasnt real. A head of ck strands of hair only casually tied hung down to her legs. It gently draped over the white gauze dress. Seeing her step forward one step, the head of ck hair seemed to dance without a wind, that wildly flying corner of the dress with the big blooms of spider lilies, containing tens of thousands of years of flower buds was released in an instant, sending the entire world up in mes.
Lan You Nian, upon entering the room, saw everyone has arrived, involuntarily smiled then saw the shining gaze Feng Yi Xuan looked at her with. Bright long hair like the moons glory, under the cover of the moonlight white robe, elegant like a celestial outside the world. The clean and lonely face had a kind of indifference that seeped down to the bone marrow, but that indifference, upon seeing Lan You Nian, will disappear without a trace, bing the most heartwarming warm water.
Lan You Nian didnt know why, upon entering the door, the first person her eyes went to was Feng Yi Xuan. She inwardly scorned herself for being too much of a lover of beauty. After all, Feng Yi Xuans looks can be described as unparalleled. It was worthy of being this mainds most beautiful man but because of the legend about him and his style of actions, it made others so afraid they dare not to look at his appearance.
Nianer meimei, you really are Miss Miao Yin? Hua Mu Qing ran over to Lan You Nian and asked, breaking through Lan You Nians reverie.
What does Mu Qing jiejie think? Lan You Nian didnt answer. She sat down at the table and greeted everyone. When she saw her own brother using such a dejected look to look at her, Lan You Nian asked confused, Brother, whats wrong?
Feng Xia Qi and others who knew the truth allughed out loud. Lan Mo Xian pointed at He Chu Yang, Even cousin brother you gave an invitation to, why does brother not have one!
He Chu Yang took out the invitation he carried with him and deliberately showed it off in front of Lan Mo Xian. After all, just a few days ago, he wanted to bring Nianer meimei over to He Manor to live for a few days, but it was ruined by Lan Mo Xian, so the two got into a fight at Feng Yi Xuans military camp.
You are older brother. Does Nianer need to give you an invitation? Isnt that too estranged? Is brother angry because of this? Lan You Nian asked confused. Lan Mo Xian and she both lived in Lan manor. They saw each other constantly. Giving an invitation was too strange.
Lan Mo Xian was embarrassed. He wasnt angry, only a little sad, thats all. Who knew he over-thought the matter? Meanwhile, Hua Mu Qing beside him burst intoughter, Angry? Lan Mo Xian was not right today all morning!
Who said so! Lan Mo Xian shouted, refused to admit even to his death, his eyes shot daggers at Hua Mu Qing.
I saw! He Chu Yang said.
I also saw. You cant lie to Nianer meimei, Feng Xia Qi joined in.
We also saw, Yu Liu Li and Jing Wu An said in unison.
Then everyoneughed together, even Feng Yi Xuans eyes were filled withughter. It seems as long as Lan You Nian was there, he will be very happy. And the others felt, because of this girl, the friendship between them was even more intimate. They were really happy now. This was all because of the one they considered a little sister, Lan You Nian.
Chapter 70
70 Awakening from Dream
February 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
In the room, a folding screen embroidered with an inkndscape came into view. Overlooking the distant mountain, contemting the beautiful waters, indeed a wonderfulndscape, a fine area of aesthetic style.
Bypassing the folding screen, an eight immortal table was firmly ced in the center of the room. The crossbeams were carved with spider lilies, appealingly irregr and intricate. A set of blue and white porcin teacups was unassumingly ced in the center of the table. The air was still exuding a bit of tea fragrance. At the first whiff, a breath of freshness shocked their senses making one instantly feel energized and refreshed.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan, who sat at the eight immortal table, Lan You Nian and others were very at ease as they tasted the flower tea that was Lan You Nians original creation. They discovered, the closer they got to Lan You Nian, the more wonderful Lan You Nian became. This kind of female was rare to find in the world.
Nianer meimei, how can you do so much? Jing Wu An marveled. When he heard the flower tea they were tasting was made by Lan You Nian, then recalled the fruit jelly from that day, and that song which its music still lingered in his ears, Jing Wu An had to admire Lan You Nian.
Hehe After Lan You Nian infused a cup of flower tea for Lan Wu, everyone observing how Lan Wu and Lan Qu, these two servant girls, can casually follow Lan You Nian, they can just imagine these two, to Lan You Nian, wasnt just simple servant girls. Moreover, Lan You Nians disregard of identity gave everyone a good impression.
Young miss knows so much because young miss has been to many ces since she was young! Moreover, young miss is the smartest woman in the world! Lan Wu cupped the tea young miss infused for her, turning a blind eye to the daggers that everyone shot her as she bragged. Since young, their young miss began walking north and venturing south for Wu Qing Pavilion, probably not even men can do this.
No shame! Lan You Nian shot a re at Lan Wu. She knew Lan Wus frank personality. Moreover, although Lan Wu and Lan Qu were older than her by a few years, towards her, they were all reverence. Lan You Nian sometimes thought its good that she wasnt a man, otherwise, she will definitely forsake them both.
Nianer meimei, you even went to so many ces? Hua Mu Qing asked enviously. Since she was born, she has not left the capital. Only the heavens knew how much she wanted to go out and see the world.
Of course, when young miss was a child, she went to many ces all by herself... As Lan Wu kept talking, she stopped, because she noticed the atmosphere in the room became heavy. Those people looked at young miss with a gaze of heartfelt pain.
Amongst these people, Feng Yi Xuan felt the most heartache. He seemed to see that solitary figure wearing a veil wandering alone once again. He could even imagine how lonely that frail and thin figure was in this vast world. He, at this moment, hated himself. Why didnt he find her sooner? He could have apanied her in wandering together. He could have given her a stable life.
At the same time, the others looked at Lan You Nian who was now only 13 years old. Clearly, she was so thin and frail that it seemed a gust of wind could blow her down, but in so many nights in the past, this girl without family beside her, walked alone in this wide world, how aggrieved she must have been? If they heard other peoples matters, they will, at most, nce at it or listen to it, thats all. But now, this girl whom they considered a friend, even more, a little sister, of course, the feelings in their hearts was different.
What? Lan Wu, this girl when she normally has nothing to do likes to exaggerate the facts. Has it scared you? In the room, the only one without any feelings was Lan You Nian. Her eyes curved as if no kind of wind and rain cannot cause her twin eyes to shed tears.
Nianer meimei, in the future, older sister will protect you. Wherever you go, you can bring along your older sister! Hua Mu Qing came to Lan You Nians side, linked her arm around Lan You Nians elbow, but the tone of her voice was endlessly sincere.
Hehe, I think Mu Qing jiejie just wants to go out to y? Lan You Nian lifted Hua Mu Qings chin, revealing a scious expression.
Perhaps because the captivation of Lan You Nians eyes was too great, even a brazen woman like Hua Mu Qing became red-faced. Seeing Hua Mu Qing so shy, Lan You Nian couldnt stopughing. The melodiousughter rang in the box, causing everyone tough as well.
Hey, I say junzhu, you finally look a little like the female you are, but its towards Nianer meimei, haha Lan Mo Xian attacked Hua Mu Qing. He couldnt imagine Hua Mu Qing who usually fooled around with them couldnt stand his own little sisters casual tease.
Dont know if junzhu is blushing because of Nianer meimeis charm or blushing because Nianer meimei correctly guessed junzhus thoughts! He Chu Yang also poked his nose into the matter. After all, anyone can tell Hua Mu Qing really wanted to go out the capital to y.
Hmph! You guys just know to bully this junzhu! Hua Mu Qing red at the people around her, but skipped past Feng Yi Xuan, not because Feng Yi Xuan didnt speak but simply because she did not dare.
Not bully you then bully who? Bully Nianer meimei? As long as Hua Mu Qing was there, Lan Mo Xian would definitely be at odds with her. Today, the two have quarreled so many times they couldnt keep count. Those who watchedughed nonstop.
You dare! That is this junzhus younger sister. Who dares to bully! Hua Mu Qing shouted at Lan Mo Xian. That image of being absolutely justified made Lan Mo Xian start to suspect if Hua Mu Qing isnt Nianers biological sister. Otherwise, ording to Hua Mu Qings temper, how could she protect Nianer like this? How could Lan Mo Xian know the friendship between females was very strange, that as long the atmosphere was right then everything was right.
Enough, you two have quarreled all day long. My head hurts. Today, I came here to sing Nianer meimeis praises. Will you guys allow Nianer meimei to get on stage? Feng Xia Qi interrupted the quarrel between the two. He really wanted to hear Lan You Nian sing and did not want to hear any more quarreling.
Oh right, Nianer meimei go, Hua Mu Qing pushed Lan You Nian. When Lan You Nian was ready to leave, she then pondered for a second and asked, What kind of astounding song will Nianer meimei sing today?
Just as Hua Mu Qing finished asking this, the whole room of people turned to look at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nianughed, What does Mu Qing jiejie want to listen to?
Anything is ok? Wow! Nianer meimei, you are too amazing! Hua Mu Qing shouted with admiration then asked everyone, What do you guys want to listen to? Hurry! So many people wish for this opportunity that wonte in a lifetime!
Everyone considered it but couldnt think of anything. They looked to Feng Yi Xuan. Actually, their central decision-maker was Feng Yi Xuan. Not only were they friends, but Feng Yi Xuan was also a superior being and is a good leader.
Sing whatever you want, as long as youre happy! Feng Yi Xuan said to Lan You Nian. Those pair of eyes never removed themselves from Lan You Nians body. His voice contained a distinct gentleness.
Lan You Nian nodded at Feng Yi Xuan. It seemed this man, no matter when she looks over, she could always see the mans sincere eyes and the gaze that never left her. This kind of feeling wasnt bad; it even made her feel happy.
Zhen Wei Pavilionsrge hall still was full as usual. When Lan You Nian appeared on the high tform, therge hall hushed down, Today, Miao Yin will y the song Awakening from Dreamfor everyone, The words spoken were still simple without any extra superfluous words but within moments, there was the sound of a zither, like flowing water, carrying out from inside. Everyone held their breath, afraid to miss any of the wonderful sounds.
The song is by Chen Shu Hua-Awakening from Dream ʱ֣
You said you loved someone you shouldnt have loved, your heart is full of scars.
You said you made a mistake you shouldnt have made, your heart is full of remorse.
You said you have tasted all of lifes bitterness, you cant find someone to believe in.
You said you felt extremely disheartened, even began to doubt the meaning of life.
If you already knew that hurt is always inevitable, why do you bother with deep affection?
Because love is always difficult to separate oneself from, why bother to care about that little bit of warmth.
You must know being hurt is inevitable, every time you awaken from the dream, some things you dont have to ask now, some people you never have to wait for.

Why does Nianer meimeis song always carry a hint of sorrow Hua Mu Qing gazed down at the figure within the beaded curtains. She admired her talent but, at the same time, for some reason, felt pity for her.
Hua Mu Qing asked the question everyone wanted to ask. Everyone turned their attention to Lan Wu and Lan Qu, obviously hoping to know why the girl they thought of as a little sister was always filled with sorrow that cant be dispersed but Lan Wu and Lan Qu didnt utter a word. Their young miss had many things even they didnt know. Even the several young masters werent exactly sure. However, what they do know was already frightening enough. Such an overbearing poison, of monthly tortures, there were probably not many people who were as strong as young miss living in this world.
Ignoring the exaltation of the people in the hall, after Lan You Nian put away the zither, she left the high tform and returned to the third floor.
Is it good? Lan You Nian asked with a smile. She sang the songs she once liked. Now with these friends, she could sing for them. To them, it was a kind of auditory enjoyment. For her, it was also a kind of enjoyment of her own interest.
Due to the presence of Lan You Nian, without having to wait, the manager brought a server carrying dishes of delicate and exquisite foods into the box. Zhen Wei Pavilions food wasnt the most delicious but was the most novel and the most exquisite. Many of the dishes in here were not seen in any other restaurant, so in Zhen Wei Pavilion not only was Lan You Nians zither music peerless, but the taste was also iparable.
Nianer meimei, do you know Young Master Wu Qing? As Hua Mu Qing tasted the delicious food, she scanned the unique decoration of Zhen Wei Pavilion and asked curiously.
Of course I know. What? Mu Qing jiejie is in love with Young Master Wu Qing? Lan You Nian joked. At this, even Lan Wu and Lan Qu standing behind her burst into giggles. Young miss was really too naughty. Obviously, Young Master Wu Qing was young miss herself yet young miss still teased junzhu so.
How is that possible? Hua Mu Qing denied. I just wondered what kind of man of the world can have such a unique mind, moreover can even have such a sharp eye in discerning Nianer meimei. Otherwise how can Nianer meimei have such arge authority in Zhen Wei Pavilion right?
He.... Lan You Nian thought of her past life. She couldnt help but think of that life that waspletely filled with destruction and deceit that created the Young Master Wu Qing in this life. Everyone can clearly feel the thick pressure and sorrow in the air. This kind of sorrow bore down so heavily on everyone that they couldnt breathe. Lan Wu and Lan Qu looked at each other. They knew this was the precursor to the activation of young misss poison. Every time young misss poison was about to awaken, her mood was not particrly stable, even repeatedly had nightmares. They dont know what the nightmares were but there was a time when young miss wailed hoarsely in the middle of the night. They can still remember that moment clearly. Just what kind of hurt made young miss be like this?
Lan Wu immediately ran out of the box and went to another room to find the third young master. After all, today young miss originally prepared to see third young master. Now with third young master by young misss side, it will be much safer when the poison activates. Moreover, third young master treated young miss very well, they knew very well.
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly grabbed Lan You Nians hand, murmured in a low tone, worriedly, Nian Nian?
Lan You Nians was dragged back to reality in an instant. On her face was still the same slight smile that was like a warm breeze. She self-consciously retracted her hand. Everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere that Lan You Nian released so didnt notice.
Young master Wu Qing is a beautiful man! Mu Qing jiejie, is your heart moved? Teasingughter made everyone in the boxe back to their senses. They knew Lan You Nian must have experienced something, but this girl wasnt willing to tell them, so they will not go dig out peoples secrets. She was their friend. They will take good care of her in the future.
Ha, not me! Who doesnt know Young master Wu Qing is heartless? Hua Mu Qing shouted. Since she understood Lan You Nian wanted to make the atmosphere lively, Hua Mu Qing purposefully made a ruckus with Lan You Nian.
Goddesss song today was very beautiful. When can I ask the goddess out to eat? Yu Liu Li asked eagerly. He admired this Lan You Nian very much so he wanted to be friends with Lan You Nian.
Goddess? Lan You Nianughed. Just call me Nianer. In the future, if there is an opportunity, everyone go out and have fun together. It just so happens Mu Qing jiejie can go outside to look around!
Yes! When the timees, Nianer meimei cant break your promise! Yu Liu Li was very happy. After all, people like them who have status very rarely can be so happy like today, eating a meal together and chatting with friends.
Nianer meimei, you are amazing. I didnt waste my doting on you! Hua Mu Qing was so happy she wanted to give Lan You Nian a hug. When Feng Yi Xuans frigidly nced at Hua Mu Qing, Hua Mu Qing instantly returned to her own seat, even sat up very straight and proper.
Lan You Nian could feel there was something wrong with her body. The poison was already starting to awaken. Lan You Nian gently put down the chopsticks, the hands hidden within her sleeves trembled slightly.
Chapter 71
71 Moment Poison Activates
February 25, 2019
secretdreamwishes
None of the people sitting around the eight immortal table noticed Lan You Nians strangeness. Only Feng Yi Xuan, who paid constant attention to Lan You Nian, was aware of Lan You Nians strange behavior.
Feng Yi Xuans gaze carried concern as he looked at Lan You Nian. The second he brushed against Nian Nians hand, he noticed something was wrong. Although Nian Nians body temperature was usually pretty low, however, just moments ago, when he held Nian Nians hand, the tiny hand in his palms can be described as cold as ice. How could that be someones normal body temperature?
There was a needle-like pain emitting from every single part of her body. It was the same feeling as when the poison first activated at the beginning. Lan You Nian knew she must leave immediately otherwise she will definitely be exposed in front of other people. Although she considered these people to be her friends, Lan You Nians heart still believed she was one person.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian who merely sat there with her head bowed down, her expression couldnt be seen. He didnt know whats wrong with Nian Nian, but he could tell something wasnt right. Seeing everyone was stillughing and joking around, Feng Yi Xuan was just about to open his mouth to tell everyone to disperse so he could take Nian Nian back, but there came a knock at the door.
Young miss, third young master wants to see you, Lan Wu, who just returned, stood beside Lan You Nian, her eyes filled with anxiousness. Meanwhile, Lan Qu who has continuously been by Lan You Nians side was beginning to sweat. Although their young miss was able to bear it, every time young misss poison activated, they were all apprehensive. Not only were they upset because young miss was suffering, they were also afraid young miss wont be able to get through it.
Everyone in the box looked at Lan You Nian with eyes of curiosity, but at this moment Lan You Nians head was lowered so they couldnt see anything. As matter of fact, many people knew Wu Qing Pavilion was Young Master Wu Qings domain, but ordinarily Young Master Wu Qing was a mysterious character, so Wu Qing Pavilion is said to be managed by several young masters. While these several young masters were mysterious as well, they have been seen by people. Moreover, these several young masters were only helping Young Master Wu Qing take care of business, so the world was not as curious about these several young masters as they were about Young Master Wu Qing.
I really am sorry. Nianer still has some matters to take care of so I will take leave first, Lan You Nian endured her increasingly painful body, lifted her head to look at everyone and smiled gently.
Yeah no problem, go ahead. Do we need to wait for you to go back together? Hua Mu Qing waved her hand, brushing it off, but still asked with concern.
After that, I will go back myself. Lan Qu,ter, have the management bring out thetest pastries that havent been introduced yet for everyone to taste! Lan You Nian instructed.
Speaking of Zhen Wei Pavilions pastries that have yet to be sold on the market, several of the people were interested, not to mention the ones who tasted the fruit jellyst time. They eagerly looked to Lan Qu. Lan Qu nodded. She knew this was her familys young miss ploy to change the topic.
After Lan You Nian gave a curtsy, she turned and left the box. However, she didnt expect that she before she even took a few steps, she stumbled, almost falling over. Fortunately, Lan Qu and Lan Wu reacted fast. They helped support Lan You Nian up, but it was this small episode that had everyone unsettled.
Nianer meimei are you alright? Hua Mu Qing asked with concern, however, she didnt think too much on it. She only thought Lan You Nian didnt look at the ground when she walked.
Its nothing! I will leave first, As soon as Lan You Nian finished, Lan Wu and Lan Qu immediately supported Lan You Nian in leaving the box. In the box, Feng Yi Xuans gaze was frigid but filled with concern as he stared at the direction Lan You Nian left in. Although he wanted to ask Nian Nian what was going on, he knew Nian Nian had her own ideas and way of doing things. If he interfered too much, in the future, hes afraid it will be even harder to get closer to Nian Nian.
Because of worrying about whats wrong with Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan was obviously in a bad mood. After Lan You Nian left, Feng Yi Xuan instantly returned to his cold and inhuman self, icily sweeping a nce over the crowd in the box. Everyone instantly silenced. In the more and more terrifying atmosphere caused by Feng Yi Xuan, Hua Mu Qing and others could no longer stand it. They immediately left the box and went back home but before leaving had the pastries that were just delivered to be packed up to be taken with them. The three people were true gluttons. Lan Mo Xian was yanked out by Hua Mu Qing. Meanwhile, He Chu Yang still things left to do at home, so there were only four people left in the box.
AXuan, whats wrong with you? Feng Xia Qi asked with concern. He knew this younger brother very well. Although he was usually forbidding, he wasnt so impatient.
Is it because of Nianer meimei? Jing Wu An leaned back in his chair and asked in confusion. Its really that he noticed this good friend of his who has never been caring towards anyone but was tantly very different towards Lan You Nian. Just like todays meeting, the good friend whom no person can enter his eyes, the light from the corner of his eye always followed Lan You Nian.
Hm? Whats wrong with Nianer meimei? Yu Liu Li asked in confusion. Indeed, they cant med for not knowing. Although they, each and every one of them, were tough guys outside, however now that they are with friends they care about, naturally they put away their alert, observative, and calctive minds so they didnt notice the difference in Lan You Nian. However, Jing Wu An was different. He was a military advisor; his thoughts no matter how diluted was more sensitivepared to Feng Xia Qi and Yu Liu Li.
Indeed, when Nianer meimei almost fell down, I felt something was wrong! Feng Xia Qi also frowned. He genuinely considered this girl to be a little sister so inevitably cared a lot about her.
Yeah, could something have happened? Yu Liu Li was also anxious. His voice had yet to fade, for Feng Yi Xuan already slipped out of the box and leaped to another room on the third floor.
Feng Yi Xuan became more and more worried in his heart. On the one hand, he was afraid something happened to Nian Nian, on the other, he was scared his excessive intervention will make Nian Nian resentful. Imagine him Feng Yi Xuan who has lived so many years, when has he ever been so afraid? Now because that person is the girl at the tip of his heart, he had many more considerations. Feng Yi Xuan couldnt be at ease. Even if Nian Nian med him, he couldnt let anything happen to Nian Nian. Moreover, he can clearly sense something was wrong with Nian Nians body. He said he will be by her side in the future, so he must apany her. If Nian Nian really was ufortable, he will definitely save her. If he was overthinking the matter, Nian Nian could think whatever she liked of him, but he will still do the same in the future.
Feng Yi Xuan arrived at the door to Gui Sans room in an instant. Before Feng Yi Xuan could enter, Lan Feng appeared from the shadows and blocked the way in front of Feng Yi Xuan. Lan Wu and Lan Qu also stopped in front of Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans fist clenched, his knuckles cracked. Right now, he had an urge to kill, but he knew these three were Nian Nians people.
Following Feng Yi Xuan outside was Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, and Yu Liu Li. Coming out, they could see Feng Yi Xuan and three women confronting in front of the doorway of a room. They recognized two of the women as Lan You Nians servant girls, then it wasnt hard to guess the identity of the other woman; she must be Lan You Nians shadow guard.
At this time, the sound of stuff falling in the room drifted out. Feng Yi Xuan was so anxious the veins popped out on his forehead, his entire person returned to his original bloodthirsty, cruel bearing. His palm flung out prepared to toss the three people who were blowing his way. At this moment, a man walked out from inside the room. Raven hair tied together with a white ribbon, clothed in snow-white satin, a white silk belt wrapped around his waist with a piece of suet white jade attached to it, wearing an outer coat of soft smoke brocade of light muslin. Eyebrows nearly touched the hairline, slender and gentle eyes, an attractive nose-bridge, white skin, carrying a snow-white folding fan in his hand, a wless image of an elegant young master. At this moment, the man was anxious, even his eyebrows were filled with worry.
This humble one Gui San doesnt know what does Ming wang want? Gui San asked and studied Feng Yi Xuan critically. Gui San had to admit that this person was really unbelievably handsome, probably can be considered the mainds most handsome man but the premise is that there wasnt that frightening murderous aura.
This wang wants to see Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuans aloof voice boomed. He, at this moment, was anxious like he was cooking in a massive fire. He heard the sound of something breaking in the room.
Hope for Ming wangs forgiveness, Nianer meimei has some matters today. If Ming wang has a problem, thene again to find Nianer next time! Gui San responded, not allowing oil or salt to enter (being obstinate). He already received news from little junior sister saying this Ming wang and the others were little juniors sisters friends, so Gui San didnt make things difficult. However, he couldnt let these people know about little junior sisters poisoning
Move! Feng Yi Xuans fingers moved. He didnt want to chit-chat with these people any longer.
Feng Xia Qi and others seeing this situation knew Feng Yi Xuan was ready to go on a killing spree. They nced at Lan Qu and the others. These were all Lan You Nians people, if Feng Yi Xuan hurt them, then when that happens, who knew how Lan You Nian will me Feng Yi Xuan. Moreover, since they considered Lan You Nian as a little sister, they couldnt let Nianer be upset.
AXuan, calm down! Feng Xia Qi came to Feng Yi Xuans side and said, his voice carried hints of unyielding otherwise he was afraid his younger brother wont listen to anything. Then to Gui San who was blocking the doorway, he said warmly, I believe this must be third young master. Miss Lan who is inside is our little sister. Right now we dont know if Nianer meimei is safe. Hope third young master can grant us a favor!
In some respects, Gui San and Feng Xia Qi were the same kind of people. They were both the kind to be warm like jade on the outside but inside were ck to the core. The two were both ck-hearted foxes; it was only that Feng Xia Qis fox nature was hidden much deeper while Gui Sans fox nature was disyed in front of people.
Thank you everyone for your concern, but Nianer has matters to take care of so wont be able to entertain you. Please ask everyone not to make things difficult for me! Gui San said with an unchanging expression, but the meaning in his words was unmistakable. After all, Feng Xia Qi and others can hear the intimacy in his words very clearly. This third young masters rtionship with Nianer meimei was probably very good.
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly attacked Gui San. The attack was ruthless and merciless. Although Gui Sans martial arts wasnt as good as Feng Yi Xuan, he reacted very quickly, promptly engaged in a fight with Feng Yi Xuan. Although Feng Yi Xuan didnt intend to kill, because of his anxiousness, he used 50 percent of his martial force, so at the end, Gui San was defeated by Feng Yi Xuan in one round.
Seeing Gui San defeated, Lan Feng took up her long sword and attacked Feng Yi Xuan. She couldnt allow young miss to have any idents.
All the while, Feng Xia Qi was watching this scene anxiously. No one can stop his younger brother right now. Seeing the wounded third young master and Lan Feng blocking the way, Feng Xia Qi felt a headache. If Nianer meimei knew of this and got angry, their friendship may havee to an end.
Stop! the sound of Lan You Nians voice came from inside the room. The others could hear the faintness of Lan You Nians voice. Feng Yi Xuan became even more anxious but still pulled back his hand and no longer attacked.
Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuan stared at the room attentively, as if this way he could see the Nian Nian of his heart. His tone was anxious and worried, there was even a hint of fear, unconsciously. He feared whether or not if the girl inside was safe.
Im fine, just ufortable, Lan You Nian bit down her lip saying. She was afraid she will cry out because of the pain. She knew Feng Yi Xuan was concerned about her. She was happy this man cared about her so much, but she didnt want them to know about her being poisoned. Suppressing the urge to scream out of pain, Lan You Nian continued to reassure the people outside, I want to sleep for a while, you guys go back first!
Feng Yi Xuan wasnt stupid, and neither were Feng Xia Qi and the others. Lan You Nians voice trembled, how could they not hear it? But they knew everyone had their own secrets. Although they considered Lan You Nian to be their little sister it didnt mean that this person in front of them was transparent.
Gui San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to the four people, Please go ahead! the tone wasnt angry. After all these people were only worried about little junior sister. They had good feelings for those who cared about little junior sister.
Feng Xia Qi and others left Zhen Wei Pavilion under Gui Sans guidance while Feng Yi Xuan, no matter what, refused to budge. He merely stood outside the room like a statue.
Chapter 72
72 Guarding Outside the Door
March 4, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Hurt, it hurt all over, as if every bone, every vein was being crushed. The most excruciating of all was the pain in her heart. Although such a pain recurs every month, every time Lan You Nian suffered so much pain, the thought of dying ured to her mind. Fortunately, Lan You Nian never gave up.
Her lips were already bitten to the point of bleeding. Her forehead beaded with sweat. Lan You Nians entire body was curled up in the corner of the room, trembling in pain. Her face was deathly pale. Because of the excruciating pain, Lan You Nian took out the dagger she always carried with her and viciously shed her arm, using the method of fighting pain with pain. On the smooth white arm there were already several deep and shallow scars. Every time the poison activated, when the pain became too much to bear, Lan You Nian will cut a gash on herself, letting the pain in her arm distract her from the pain of the poison.
After so many years, this arm has already been marked with countless shes. Fortunately, Gui Yi Zi prepared a top-notch healing ointment that could get rid of scars for Lan You Nian. If this were not the case, this arm couldnt bear to be looked at. However, no matter how good the healing ointment was, it can only handle one scar. Lan You Nians arm always healed then became injured again, injured then healed, and so on a continuous cycle.
When the pain reached its peak, Lan You Nian wanted to scream but thinking of third brother and her maidservants who were waiting outside, Lan You Nian swallowed the scream, forcing it back down her throat. The repetitive pain made Lan You Nians consciousness a little hazy but Lan You Nian knew she couldnt give up. She has endured this poison so many times already; she can still live through it this time.
Feng Yi Xuan stood straight as a ramrod in the doorway. He couldnt hear any sounds from within the room, but for some reason, his heart was wracked with unbearable pain. A slender arm was prepared to throw open the door but remembering Nian Nians words just moments ago, Feng Yi Xuan arduously retracted his arm. His entire person was surrounded by a deadly aura as if he had climbed out of hell. He hated this feeling of powerlessness. He didnt know what was happening to Nian Nian inside. He didnt know if Nian Nian was sick, or if she was suffering. Feng Yi Xuan was filled with restless anxiety.
Every time, Lan You Nians poisonsted a day and a night. In this time, Lan Wu and Lan Qu took turns guarding the door of the room while Gui San was sitting in front of the door, just like whenever little junior sisters poison activates, he and the rest of the senior brothers would sit in the doorway to guard little junior sister.
In the entire day that Lan You Nians poison was active, Feng Yi Xuan stood motionless just like that for a day and a night. He did not drink a sip of water, eat a single bite of food. Even his posture remained unchanged, simply unswervingly focused on the room, standing guard over Lan You Nian.
Even Gui San had to admire Feng Yi Xuan. This man did indeed treat his little junior sister very well. Moreover, the perseverance and worry expressed by this man were not superficial. This day and night of guarding, not even moving a muscle, allowed Gui Sans impression of Feng Yi Xuan to improve a lot.
Lan Qu..., a hoarse voice drifted out of the room, instantly prompting the already stiff Feng Yi Xuan to stir. That pair of fathomless eyes burst with an infinite brilliance. Feng Yi Xuan glued himself to the door of the room as he entreated, Nian Nian, are you well? Is there any difort? A day and night without a drop of water to drink and suppressed emotions made Feng Yi Xuans voice hoarse, not much better than Lan You Nians.
After one day and night of torture from the poison, Lan You Nian was a mess. Her hair and clothes were in total disarray, her arm was smeared with blood, herplexion was wan and sallow, so after the poison has passed, Lan You Nian wanted to call in Lan Qu to help her bathe. She didnt expect to hear Feng Yi Xuans voice. Has he been outside all this time? Lan You Nians heart warmed imperceptibly. She could hear the hoarseness in Feng Yi Xuans voice and the cautious entreaty for confirmation. It was apparent she had no more strength left, but Lan You Nian still answered.
Dont worry, Im fine. Let Lan Qu in to help me freshen up! Lan You Nians weak voice drifted out the room, the frailty in her voice pressed down heavily on Feng Yi Xuans heart. However, at this moment, hearing Lan You Nian was alright allowed Feng Yi Xuan to breathe a sigh of relief.
En, Feng Yi Xuan nodded, even if Lan You Nian wasnt able to see it.
Seeing Feng Yi Xuan moved out of the way, Lan Qu carefully opened the door and went in, closing the door behind her. In fact, towards this Ming wang, Lan Qu had high esteem for him. Before, she already suspected this Ming wangs feelings for her familys young miss was slightly different. After this day and night, Lan Qu can confirm that this Ming wang liked young miss. However, she wont interfere with young misss feelings. After all, young miss has suffered too much hurt in the past. Moreover, this Ming wangs identity wasnt good. Young miss loves her freedom, an unrestrained life, but this Ming wang...
Young miss, Lan Qus eyes were red as she walked over to support Lan You Nian who was curled on the ground. Taking in young misss weak appearance, Lan Qus tears poured down.
Lan You Nian observing that Lan Qi was crying, at first, she wanted to tease her a bit, but she was so weak she couldnt even speak so left it at that. Initially letting Lan Que in was because she was afraid if Lan Wu came in, she would cry all over the ce. She didnt expect Lan Qu after going through this so many times still cried.
Gingerly taking off Lan You Nians clothes, Lan Qu helped her familys young miss over to the already prepared bathtub. As the warm waterpped against Lan You Nians exhausted body, Lan You Nian slowly recovered the strength in her body. Lan Qu found the best healing ointment that was sent from the Medical Valley to gingerly apply it onto Lan You Nians arm. Looking at the scars on the jadelike arm, Lan Qu felt her familys young miss had a bitter life. How could the Heavens treat the worlds most extraordinary girl like this?
After bathing, Lan You Nian having finished washing upid on the bed, watching Lan Qu fully upy herself with other tasks. Lan You Nian involuntarily asked, Feng Yi Xuan waited outside for a long time?
Yes, one day and night, Lan Qu answered truthfully. She knew young miss had her own judgment about her personal matters. They only had to serve young miss well, that was all, being loyal to young miss was their priority.
Really? Lan You Nians eximed, stunned. Not that she didnt believe, but rather she understood Feng Yi Xuan to have a standoffish character. She didnt know why he would stand guard outside for a whole day and night. It seemed that apart from shifu, the senior brothers and her subordinates, no one else has ever been like this.
En, Lan Qu nodded. Then after considering it a moment, she added, Not a drop of water was touched! From her heart, Lan Qu was moved by Feng Yi Xuans actions. From the years they followed young miss, although young miss was kind, underneath all that, she was very distant. Take them, for example, although young miss was so good to them, they had nothing to say, but young miss never shared her pain with anyone. Sometimes they ached for someone to apany young miss, guarding young miss, protecting young miss. Some who can walk into young misss heart so young miss wouldnt be so lonely anymore.
Lan You Nian shut her eyes and didnt say anything. One, she was too weak, so she didnt want to talk, two, because her heart was in slight disorder, she didnt know what she should say. Such a man because of her stayed outside without touching a drop of water to apany her for an entire day and night. All the while, he didnt know she is suffering from poison. What if she only had a cold, a fever, or got sick? Will this man still recklessly stand guard there? In fact, Lan You Nian doesnt know, even if she really only had a small illness, Feng Yi Xuan would still watch over her. This was Feng Yi Xuans passionate feelings and steadfastness.
Let third brother and Feng Yi Xuane in. Its time to let them know Im fine! Lan You Nian said.
Ming wang, third young master, Lan Qu gave a curtsy, Young miss is much better and wants you two to go in to give report of good health!
As soon as Lan Qus voice dropped, Feng Yi Xuan already entered the room. The exquisite room has already been cleaned up by Lan Qu, even the scent of blood was concealed by the Sleeping Fragrance Lan Qu lit. Feng Yi Xuan anxiously walked into the room and instantly spotted Lan You Nian dressed neatly sitting on the carved bed. Although her face was shrouded by white gauze, it could not obscure that deathly paleplexion and frailness in her eyes.
Are you alright? Feng Yi Xuan sat on the edge of the bed. ording to etiquette, he shouldnt be acting like this, but at this moment Feng Yi Xuan could care less. Gui San following behind him seeing little junior sister survived the poison finally sighed in relief and turned to Lan Wu to have her prepare some food.
En, it was just a cold, after sleeping, its much better, Lan You Nian smiled slightly as shemented nonchntly.
A cold? Feng Yi Xuans beautiful lip line pursed into a straight line, obviously discontent with Lan You Nians concealment. Although he was outside, so he didnt see how Lan You Nian was for the day and night but seeing the frail girl leaning on the head of the bed with no strength to speak, how is it caused by a cold? At this moment Feng Yi Xuan really wanted to spank this girls bottom, but at the same time, his heart ached for her, he didnt know what to do. He knew Nian Nian had secrets, she didnt say it nor did he ask, but this didnt mean he can watch the girl be injured.
Alright, Miss Lan hasnt eaten anything an entire day, better eat something first! Gui San suddenly joined in. Honestly, the atmosphere between the two people was a bit awkward. Moreover, little junior sister has always been I do things my way attitude, when has she ever started exining her actions? In front of outsiders, Gui San called Lan You Nian Miss Lan, after all, Lan You Nian currently didnt want others to know her identity as Medical Valleys disciple.
Recalling Lan You Nian didnt eat anything, she must be hungry, Feng Yi Xuan didnt continue cling on to the topic and took the medicinal porridge brought in by Lan Wu, stunning Lan Wu momentarily. After all, feeding young miss to drink the porridge was her job. Now the porridge was snatched by Feng Yi Xuan, she didnt say anything, after all, young miss didnt say anything.
Since Miss Lan is fine, then this humble on will leave, Gui San said before leaving. After all, he still had to report to shifu and the several senior and junior brothers. In the past, every month after the poison activates, no matter who apanied Lan You Nian, they must give everyone a piece of mind, letting everyone set their minds to rest.
You two can go, look at you so haggard! Lan You Nian looked at Lan Wu and Lan Qus red eyes, couldnt help giving orders. Every time her poison activates, the people by Lan You Nians side all seemed to have experienced a cmity.
Yes, Lan Qu set all the foods from the tray onto the eight immortal table, then dragged Lan Wu to leave the room. Although young miss being alone with a man wasnt appropriate, the first thing they learned following young miss was absolute obedience, except when young miss will be hurt.
Feng Yi Xuan used the spoon to scoop up a spoonful of medicinal porridge and studiously blew on it. Apparently after determining the temperature was just right, he brought the spoon to Lan You Nians mouth. It was clearly the job of serving someone, but Feng Yi Xuan was elegant as he did so.
Lan You Nian shook her head, her voice feeble and weak, I can do it myself. Then she raised her hand prepared to take the bowl from Feng Yi Xuans hands.
The spoon in Feng Yi Xuans hand that he put beside Lan You Nians mouth didnt move, but his other hand lifted the bowl high so Lan You Nian couldnt reach it. Perhaps he couldnt bear to let Lan You Nian raise her hand and strain herself to reach the bowl, so Feng Yi Xuan gently spit out one word, Behave!
Lan You Nians entire body was lethargic and weak, now that Feng Yi Xuan insisted, Lan You Nian didnt object anymore, delicately drew back a corner of the veil to eat Feng Yi Xuans so-called medicinal porridge. Just like this, one person doing his best to feed the other, the other person eating without saying a word, soon a bowl of medicinal porridge was finished.
I heard you havent eaten all day and night? Lan You Nian couldnt help but ask.
Feng Yi Xuan holding a handkerchief gently wiped the corners of Lan You Nians mouth and nodded. Lan You Nian was stunned by Feng Yi Xuans thoughtful and intimate action, but thinking this man didnt have anything to eat, she was still concerned.
Why?
Cant eat! Feng Yi Xuan replied. He didnt know what was happening to Nian Nian inside, how could he still have the mind to eat?
What else do you want to eat? Feng Yi Xuan put down the bowl and asked with concern. Looking at the girls thin appearance, his heart ached.
No need, you eat first, Lan You Nian pointed at the food on the table and said to Feng Yi Xuan. The other worried about her for so long outside, now he even so thoughtfully took care of her, Lan You Nian felt a tug at her conscience.
Feng Yi Xuan scrutinized Lan You Nian, confirmed that Lan You Nian really didnt want to eat, then looked at the food on the table. Because of this day and night of worrying about Lan You Nian, he didnt even think about eating, now Lan You Nian was safe and sound in front of him, Feng Yi Xuan was indeed hungry.
Sitting properly at the eight immortal table, Feng Yi Xuan began to eat. Lan You Nian looked at the elegant eating appearance of Feng Yi Xuan that was like that of a noble young master, she couldnt help sigh, this man seemed to be pleasing to the eye no matter what he did. Clearly, he was a god of war but was never crude, but had his own overbearing, indeed a captivating man. Lan You Nian felt that if there werent the rumors about those eyes and Feng Yi Xuans notoriety for not liking women, who knew how many young women will throw themselves at Feng Yi Xuan.
Chapter 73
73 Lan Zhis Marriage
March 12, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Master, Eldest Young Master An hase! The housekeeper came into the study and reported to Lan Jian Jun.
Lan Jian Jun currently was in the study with Lan Mo Xian discussing military affairs. When he heard the housekeepers words, he couldnt help scowling, What is he doing here? Lan Jian Jun has not forgotten what An family wanted to do to his daughter and son thing that day. Now, he haspletely shed all pretenses of cordiality with that family.
The housekeeper said helplessly, Its for second young misss marriage! The housekeeper felt that the Master was too negligent. No matter what, in name, that was his daughter. Now that his daughters innocence has been defiled, the bridegroom came to discuss the marriage, him this father actually forgot about the matter.
Second young miss? Lan Jian Jun recalled that days affairs. It seems An manor was prepared to marry in Lan Zhi to counteract that days scandal. Later, Lan Mo Xian told his father what happened that day, so towards this daughter who has lost her innocence, Lan Jian Jun did not have any sympathy.
What is there to discuss? Just carry her over to An manor! Lan Jian Jun currently couldnt wait to drive Lan Zhi out of Lan manor to save himself from being vexed from seeing this daughter.
Father, no matter what, its still a daughter that came out of Lan manor. Go and take a look, or who knows what evil ideas An manor wille up with! Lan Mo Xian interjected. Although he presented himself asid-back, he wasnt a kindhearted person. Moreover, these people wanted to hurt his little sister. In the past, about the matter of fighting for the throne, although Lan Mo Xian was one of Ming wangs people, he never participated outright. But now he already decided to stand on Ming wangs side to help fourth wangye vie for that position. After all, fourth wangye and himself were on good terms, his character wasnt bad, and can take on such a big responsibility. Moreover, if second wangye ascended that high post, then not only will he be unable to protect little sister, he wont be able to safeguard Lan manor. Since its necessary to jump into this ck hole, then he can only stand on Ming wangs ship.
En, fine, then go check it out! Lan Jian Jun after finishing went to the lobby with Lan Mo Xian.
Greetings to General Lan! Eldest young master An, An Ping, stood up from his set and showed etiquette. Today, An Ping wore a royal blue long robe; hisplexion was dark and haggard. How could he not be haggard? Ever since An Ping knew that he caught the flower disease, he was continually looking for Wu Qing Medical Halls young master Gui Yi. However, despite the many times he sent people to find him, young master Gui Yi was not present at the medical hall. No matter what ideas he came up with, he hasnt been able to find that young master Gui Yi.
Currently, although there didnt seem to be anything wrong with An Ping on the surface, underneath, things have already gone wrong. On the surface, things still looked good because An Ping spent a high price for a kind of ointment from Wu Qing Medical Hall. That ointment can cure the blisters on his mottled skin, but while it can heal the surface, it cant cure the roots of the problem. Recently, An Ping hasnt gone to any of the concubines rooms to sleep. Every night, his body was painfully itchy. Just thinking of his suffering, An Ping wanted to kill Lan Zhi. Now, An Ping came to Lan Manor to bring Lan Zhi to An Manor so he can torture Lan Zhi to his hearts desire to cool his anger.
Hn, what are you here at Lan Manor for? Lan Jian Jun came straight to the point. Just seeing An manors people, he gets irate.
Nephew and Lan Zhi cousin-sister are greatly attached to each other, so ask General Lan to agree to let Lan Zhi cousin-sister marry nephew as a concubine! An Ping smiled sinisterly. Initially, he wanted to marry Lan Zhi cousin-sister in as a side-wife, but now he even had the desire to kill Lan Zhi, so will only give Lan Zhi the status of a concubine. He wasnt afraid General Lan wont agree. After all, Lan Zhi and his affairs were well-known. If Lan Zhi doesnt marry him, who else can she marry?
Hn, good! When will you carry Lan Zhi through the door? Lan Jian Jun didnt care whether Lan Zhi was a wife or a concubine.
If General Lan is willing, nephew hopes that he will be able to bring Lan Zhi cousin-sister through the door tomorrow, An Ping was pleased. Sure enough, Lan Jian Jun didnt oppose him about making Lan Zhi a concubine. Concubines do not need to be married; on the day, a sedan carries the woman from the side into the manor, such was the sorrow of being a concubine.
Yes, if theres nothing then return home. Remember toe tomorrow to carry Lan Zhi to the manor, Lan Jian Jun already started to drive people out. He was a military officer by nature so hated to socialize with the Prime Minister Ans family of concealed intentions.
Thank you General for granting my wish, nephew withdraws! An Ping already got what he wanted, so he very happily left Lan manor. All the way, he was thinking about how he will deal with Lan Zhi after he brought her into the manor, how to ruin Lan Zhi.
Lan Zhi was lying in bed at the moment. Since she knew she had the flower disease, Lan Zhi took to bed and never left the bed. However, An yiniang had her own means. She took out most of her dowry to Wu Qing Medical Hall to beg for medicine. What An yiniang doesnt know is that when she went to ask for medicine, Lan You Nian already received the news.
Lan You Nian allowed the medical halls manager to give An yiniang the cure. In reality, neither Lan Zhi or An Ping caught the flower disease, it was only a poison Lan You Nian got from Gui San. The symptoms when the poison activates is very simr to flower disease. Regr doctors cant diagnose it at all. Since An yiniang gave so much money, Lan You Nian was kind enough to provide the cure. Though Lan Zhi gradually recovered, the scars on her body cannot be removed.
Lan Wu asking her familys young miss uprehending, Young miss, why give Lan Zhi the cure? After all, isnt it good torturing Lan Zhi this way?
Lan You Nian didnt answer yet when Lan Qu answered Lan Wus question for Lan You Nian, Doing it this way young miss must feel it isnt fun. Helping Lan Zhi cure the poison makes Lan Zhi think there is still hope in life. When she marries into An manor in good condition, then that way, that eldest young master Ans torture would be more painful is it not?
Lan You Nian nodded, it can be considered recognizing Lan Qus exnation. Allowing Lan Zhi to be poisoned was only a punishment. Not only can she get An yiniangs money, but itll also enable Lan Zhi to enter An manor. If the poison was not cured, then Lan Zhis life will be hopeless, then in the future, no matter what An Ping tortures Lan Zhi with, Lan Zhi wont feel anything, but now it is different.
Madame, eldest young master An just came to the manor to propose marriage, Qiuer reported the news that she acquired to An yiniang and Lan Ya who were apanying Lan Zhi. Lan Zhis body now has recovered but still needed to rest more, so An yiniang and Lan Ya, when theyre free, wille to chat with Lan Zhi.
Really? Cousin-brother already asked father? Lan Zhi suddenly sat up, excitedly asked. Only heavens knew how worried she was that cousin-brother wont marry her, then in the future who can she marry? Although before she always wanted to marry a wangye, but now things have already be like this, moreover after mother and sisters persuasion, she already knew marrying cousin-brother was the best way to go. In the future, when she gives birth to a son, then in Prime Minister An Manor, isnt she still glorious?
Reply to second young miss, indeed, eldest young master An offered the marriage proposal, and I heard master has agreed to it! Qiuer said.
Zhier, you see mother didnt lie to you! Pinger will definitely marry you. Although it is only as a side-wife, as long as you have the means, it wont be long before you can be the official wife, An yiniang also put down her heart. A few days before she sent people to pass a message back to her maiden home to tell father to have nephew marry Zhier. She knew the official wife nephew would marry will be a prestigious familys young miss that would be the most beneficial for An manor. Its fine for Zhier to be a side-wife, after all, as long as Zhier gives birth to a son, she can definitely be raised to the status of a wife.
En, Zhier will definitely remember mothers words! Lan Zhi said shyly. Thinking that she will marry her cousin-brother, Lan Zhi was feeling a bit shy.
Madame, Uncle Lan is here! Qiuer came to An yiniang. They allughed, Uncle Lan definitely came to tell them An Ping came to offer marriage and wanted to discuss the matters of marriage.
Quick let him in! An yiniang smiled. Meanwhile, Lan Zhi shyly grabbed Lan Yas hand as she lowered her head, giggling into her sleeve.
Uncle Lan walked into the outer room, stood in the outer chamber and bowed to An yiniang and others, saying, An yiniang, master instructed to have second young miss pack up and prepare for marriage.
An yiniang asked, notprehending, Has master already picked a good day? Usually, when a woman marries, as long as it was a side-wife or official wife, there was a need to pick an auspicious day to grandly marry over. They also needed to hold a wedding banquet, so An yiniang wondered oddly at how a day was already chosen.
Yes, tomorrow eldest young master An will carry second young miss into An manor, request second young miss to be prepared, dont miss the hour, Uncle Lan finished as he stood in the same ce while the mother and daughter three in the room were utterly stunned.
Mother, how can this marriage be so rushed? Lan Ya sensed the difference in the matter and asked with a frown.
Mother, whats going on? Tomorrow? How can cousin-brother and my marriage be so sloppy? Even to hold a wedding banquet, there wont be enough time! Lan Zhi tugged An yiniangs sleeve, asked with panic.
An yiniang walked out of the inner room, Uncle Lan, this marriage is so rushed. There probably wont be enough time to hold the wedding banquet. What is going on?
Uncle Lans weathered face revealed a meaningful smile, An yiniang overthink. How could a simple concubine need a wedding banquet? Tomorrow An manors people wille to carry second young miss to An manor! Uncle Lan finished and left.
Concubine? Lan Zhi shouted. How is it a concubine? Didnt mother say that even if she cant be the official wife, she can still be a side-wife? Now how could she be the lowest concubine?
An yiniang was also puzzled. After all, father agreed to let Pinger marry Zhier as a side-wife, but in a blink of an eye, her daughter became a concubine. What she, An yiniang, hated the most was a concubine because she herself was a concubine. In the past, because of loving Lan Jian Jun too deeply, she didnt care about anything else and just wanted to be Lan Jian Juns woman, even if it meant bing a concubine, she was willing. Yet after so many years have passed, she was still a concubine. Also though the official wifes position has been empty for so many years, her status has not yet been raised to that of a wife.
Mother, you promised daughter will be a side-wife, how can daughter be a concubine? Lan Zhi cried and pled. As a concubine, what face did she have? Mother, daughter doesnt want to marry. Can you please beg grandfather? Let older brother marry me as a side-wife, please? Zhier doesnt beg for official wife, only a side-wife is enough, mother!
Enough! Lan Ya screamed at her sister, pping Lan Zhi across the face.
Sister? Lan Zhi could not believe that her sister actually yelled at her at this time, You hit me? If it wasnt for your half-done n, how could I lose my innocence that day? Why isnt it you who lose your innocence? Why wasnt it you who caught the disease? You now hit me?
Whether youre willing or not, you will marry! Lan Ya didnt look at her sisters crying face, the tone in her voice was still harsh. Her sister already lost her innocence. If she did not marry cousin-brother, then it will definitely rm everyone in the capital. Then at that time, even her reputation will be affected. If in the future she still wanted to marry fourth wangye then it will be difficult. She will not allow her own little sister to stand in her own way, not even biological sister was allowed!
You... Lan Zhi stared at such an unfamiliar sister. She shook, not knowing what to say to refute her words.
Enough! An yiniang sighed, then to Lan Ya, Lan Ya, you go back, Ill stay to say something to Zhier.
When Lan Ya left, Lan Zhi cried with tears trailing down her face, Mother, now big sister has abandoned Zhier, wont you help daughter?
Oh Zhier, An yiniang embraced Lan Zhi, her voice loving, Do you know you already gave your virgin body to Pinger? If you dont marry Pinger who else can you marry? Who will dare marry you? Mother knows you feel wronged, but whether it is concubine or side-wife, you must marry. Otherwise in the future, what will happen to you?
Mother, I... Lan Zhi was still unwilling, ready to refute.
Zhier, mother told you before, as long as you have the ability, even if its a concubine, you still can climb to the position of official wife. Mother will help you. Moreover, in An manor, isnt there still your grandfather and uncle? If you dont want to marry now, in the future, even if you want to enter An manor, it will be difficult! An yiniang advised. Now, although she doesnt know what caused An manor to abandon her daughter, if she opposes her maiden family now, then her future will be even more difficult to walk. Although Zhier can only be like this, she still had Yaer. In the future, if Yaer can marry a wangye, then she...
Lan Zhi didnt talk for a long time. Then she looked up at her mother, Mother, daughter understands. Daughter will marry!
Chapter 74
74 Lan Zhi Enters An Manor
March 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
At an unspecified time, dazzling rosy clouds of dawn dyed red half the sky. The soft colors of dawn sprinkled over the entire Lan manor. The early morning sunlight was quiet and elegant, without the usual noisy atmosphere, it made peoples heart feel lighter and refreshed. Lan You Nian stood on one of the floors of the pavilion overlooking the entire Lan manor that was fully disyed in her eyes.
Lan Qu, Lan You Nian tilted her head, asking Lan Qu who stood beside her, Is An manors sedan here yet?
Not yet, but it has already set off from An manor, Lan Qu reported the news she received to her familys young miss.
Hmph, what An manor did was truly beautifully done. They only sent a small sedan with a few bearers and a guard to pick up Lan Zhi. Dont know if An yiniang will be livid? Lan Wu gloated over others misfortunes. In wealthy and influential families, when carrying in a concubine, if that concubine is favored, they will definitely send arge sedan and a pair of weing people plus a matchmaker. This was the basics of carrying in a concubine into the manor.
If she loses her temper so easily, then it wouldnt be An yiniang, Lan You Nian withdrew her gaze from the glow of morning and walked into the pavilion, This womans heart is more vicious than an average person, let alone that she still has a pair of children?
Young misss meaning is..., Lan Qu arranged the breakfast as she asked.
Theres no hurry, one by one, Lan You Nians unveiled beautiful face bloomed with coldness. Not only did she cause her predecessor to be miserable, due to her poisoning, but it also forced her to take over this damaged body. Whether its for her predecessor or for herself, An yiniang cannot escape.
Lan Zhi was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, letting Lan manors mama and servant girls dress her up. The eyes that were cried redst night was now covered up under the rouge, not a trace of it can be detected. A rose-red (dark pink) wedding dress set off Lan Zhis nice hour-ss figure, making it even more attractive. Lan Zhi gazed at herself being so splendidly attired. Because concubines cannot wear bright red, Mother prepared this rose red wedding dress for her overnight. In reality, concubines did not need to wear a wedding dress, but Lan Zhi felt wronged so privately put on this wedding dress. After all, no matter what, it was her wedding day.
Zhier, after entering An manor, you know you must observe speech and behavior. If you want to climb to the position of the main wife, you must firmly grasp the heart of your husband, An yiniangbed her daughters head full of ck hair like a normal mother reminding the daughter who was about to marry.
Mother, Zhier understands, After a nights consideration, Lan Zhi knew what she should do, Big sister didnte?
Yaer caught a cold today so cant send you off. Didnt mothere? An yiniangbed Lan Zhis hair and replied.
Lan Zhi didnt speak. She and her older sisters rtionship has always been solid. After all, the two of them were biological sisters, so they always looked after each other. But it didnt take long before her big sister abandoned her like this. It was her who lured Lan You Nian into the room, but in the end, the one who suffered was her. Yet her big sister didntfort her. Now it seemed she has drawn a line between them. After all, a concubine as a little sister was embarrassing for her older sister who wanted to marry into the royal family.
She wasnt the wife, nor side-wife, not even a proper concubine, only a little concubine. A concubine, if you make it sound nice, warms the bed, if you make it sound ugly, it was just a servant girl. Lan Zhi, at this moment, really hated her own sister. This mother who helped her sister lie and forgot her second daughters situation let Lan Zhis heart be cold.
Qiuer helped Lan Zhi out of the gates of Lan manor. Without the care of a father, without a sisters blessing, Lan Zhi stood alone in front of the gates of Lan manor with only Qiuer, a maidservant to support her as she waited, not for a broad horse, but for a small, simple sedans arrival
Originally based on the time, An manors sedan should be here by now, but the all dressed up Lan Zhi stood in front of Lan manors gates without seeing even the sedans shadow. Although she felt wronged, Lan Zhi still stood in front of the gates of Lan manor quietly waiting. Meanwhile, An yiniang already returned to her small courtyard.
Isnt this Lan manors second young miss? Why is she wearing a wedding dress in front of the door? In the early morning, the people passing by Lan manor steadily chattered.
You dont know? This Lan manors second young miss is only being carried into An manor as a concubine! As a concubine, parents werent allowed to send her off, neither was she qualified to wait in the manor to marry. She can only stand outside the manor to wait for the sedans arrival.
tsk tsk, how is it a concubine? Isnt this Lan manors second young miss usually very honorable? In the past, in that time when Lan Jian Jun didnt return home, and Lan You Nian had gone missing, An yiniang led her own children in the limelight in the capital, making everyone think she was already Lan manors official wife, and her children were the true legitimate son and daughter.
What honorable? Dont you know, Lan manors real legitimate daughter is Lan manors third young miss? Everyone was discussing the matter.
Yeah, and this Lan manors second young miss already lost her purity, actually openly cavorts with An manors young master!
No, really? So immoral? Really loses the face of General Lan!
Lan Zhi, in her wedding dress, stood in front of the door of the bustling Lan manor. Hearing the spurns and scolding of the people passing, one person one word, she seemed to be unable to stand. Her praise and appreciation in the past have now be what everyone held in contempt. Just when Lan Zhi wanted to return to the manor to cry her eyes out, the sedan An manor sent arrived at Lan manor.
The small sedan already looked a bit rundown, even shabbier than the sedan she usually traveled in. There were only four bearers and an unknown guard. Lan Zhi felt her own future was dark. How is this carrying her into An manor? This is clearly humiliating hers in front of everyone ah!
Lan Shi stood there, not moving an inch. The face of makeup flowed with tears again, but this time, the pitiful look did not stir any sympathy from anyone. Instead, it incited the merciless voice of the guard, Concubine Lan, please get on the sedan immediately so this subordinate can go back to eldest young master to report thepletion of the task!
Lan Zhi looked back at Lan manor, but her own father and mother were not there to stand up for her. The two guards guarding the doors of Lan manor did not even have a sliver of sympathy on their face. Even if Lan Zhi wanted to go back now, she knew that not only can she not go back, there may not be a way out. However, today, if she entered An manor, there still may be a way out for her. At this time, how could Lan Zhi know, she wasnt entering An manor but pure hell.
Under the disgusted gaze around her, Lan Zhi got into An manors sedan and headed to An manor to be An manor eldest young master An Pings concubine.
An manor like Lan manor did not put up any festive arrangements. Lan Zhis sedan entered An manor from An manors side door, then servant girls helped Lan Zhi enter a servants room. Before Lan Zhi got to vent her anger, the servant girls already left, leaving Lan Zhi alone sitting in the cold and shabby servant room.
Lan Zhi has been waiting for the arrival of night. As long as she sees her cousin-brother, she can definitely please cousin-brother so then she can leave this ce to live afortable life. No one can ignore her like this anymore. She wanted to let mother and big sister see her be An manors mistress!
After sitting for an entire day, Lan Zhi finally waited till the arrival of night. In this whole day, no one came to deliver water or food like Lan Zhi has been forgotten. Lan Zhi recalled the past when she went to An manor, who didnt call her second young miss when they saw her? Only so little time has passed yet the world has already changed its face.
Creak, the door was pushed away from the outside. Under Lan Zhi eager gaze, she finally waited till the arrival of her cousin-brother, her husband from now on.
Cousin-brother husband! Lan Zhi stood up, calling out in a sweet voice, then walked towards An Ping. After all, tonight was the wedding night, she must receive her cousin-brothers favor; it was best if she conceived a child.
Slut! Just as Lan Zhis hand was about to undo An Pings clothes, she was kicked away by An Ping, ruthlessly crashing into the bed.
Cousin-brother? Lan Zhi was puzzled. Whats wrong with cousin-brother? Cousin-brother has always been good to her. When cousin-brother took her body, afterward, he even told her he will be kind to her, but now, seeing cousin-brothers looking like he wanted to kill her, Lan Zhi felt afraid.
An Ping picked up the things on the table and threw it on Lan Zhis body. As his mouth kept spouting curses, his hands never stopped. Within moments, Lan Zhi was already beaten into a wreck. Her entire person was drenched in fear as she knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Cousin-brother dont hit anymore, I beg you dont hit me. What did Zhier do wrong that caused cousin-brother to treat Zhier like this? Lan Zhi didnt understand why she was beaten by An Ping.
Dont know? You f*cking said you dont know? You slut! An Ping spat at Lan Zhi, then dragged open his clothes exposing the mottled blisters and terrible bruises, Do you know now? I thought you were a virgin but didnt expect that not only were you dirty you even have the flower disease. If it wasnt you, how could I contract this disease?
Lan Zhi was already stunned by the things An Ping threw at her so when she heard An Pings words, she grew even more terrified, Cousin-brother, it was really my first time ah! Cousin-brother you must believe me!
But answering Lan Zhi was the continued beating. An Ping punched and kicked Lan Zhi who was crawling on the ground, Believe you? It was because I believed you I got this shameful disease. Lan Zhi, I warn you, you will suffer my torture the rest of your life!
No, dont, cousin-brother, I beg you! Cousin-brother, this really isnt my fault! Lan Zhi exined, but An Ping refused to hear any of it. He continued on enjoying the pleasure of beating Lan Zhi. He ced the entirety of the me for his disease on Lan Zhi.
Cousin-brother, I have a way to save you! Lan Zhi, who was beaten to the point there was no more breath left in her, begged for mercy. As soon as she finished speaking, An Ping did indeed stop.
Really? You have a way? An Ping asked gleefully. The biggest worry he has now is the flower disease on his body. As long as his condition can be cured, he was willing to pay any price.
However, at this moment, Lan Zhi, who was beaten almost to death, fainted. An Ping seeing this instantly panicked and quickly shouted at the door, Someonee! Save her! Hurry up!
Chapter 75
75 Ambiguous Rtionship
March 25, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Nianer, tomorrow is the Empresss banquet. Will Nianer be going? Lan Mo Xian stood in the courtyard of You Nian Pavilion as he asked Lan You Nian who was strumming the strings of the zither.
What does brother think? The sound of the zither continued as Lan You Nian asked somewhat rhetorically.
Brother thinks Nianer shouldnt go. The Empress is Prime Minister Ans daughter, An yiniangs older sister. This time Prime Minister Manor suffered such a huge loss, if you enter the pce, they will definitely be stirring up some trouble. If you go, youre bound to be schemed against, Lan Mo Xian thoroughly analyzed the situation.
Does brother think Nianer can dodge this? Lan You Nian bowed her head as she plucked the strings of the zither, breezily pointing out, For the chrysanthemum banquet, the Empress invited all the daughter and sons of officials, grade five and above. My name is prominent on the list.
You can pretend to be sick, then you can dodge this chrysanthemum banquet! Lan Mo Xian said anxiously. The royal pce is ridden with crises and danger. If something went wrong, there wouldnt be enough time for him to protect his little sister.
Does brother know how many physicians are in the pce? Even if Nianer can pretend to be sick and pass the physicians inspection. I can escape one, then what about the second time? Third time? Lan You Nian withdrew her delicate jade hands, stopping the melody of the zither and looked directly at Lan Mo Xian, Since one cant dodge it, then one should go face it. What is meant toe, no matter how you dodge it, you cant hide from it forever.
But... Lan You Nian anxiously wanted to say more. In the royal pce not only was there the empress, but there was also the eldest princess and second wangye. These people were on the same rope. If they wanted to punish Nianer meimei, then Nianer meimei was really in trouble.
There are no buts. My wise and handsome brother, when did you be so wordy? Lan You Nian put away the Qing Shui Zither, then smiled radiantly at Lan Mo Xian.
Ai, Nianer meimei disdains brother for being wordy, isnt your brother just worried for you? Lan Mo Xian was aware he has be excessively wordy, but that was only towards his little sister. This little sister inspired pity and tenderness in others, always involuntarily made others want to take care of her so that she can be happy all the time.
Nianer knows brother is doing this for Nianers own good, but Nianer is not without any ability to protect herself. Besides, Lan You Nian stepped in front of Lan Mo Xian. She was obviously so much shorter than Lan Mo Xian, but that aura could not be covered up. Lan You Nian looked directly into Lan Mo Xians eyes and affirmed, No one can hurt Nianer. Those who hurt Nianer, Nianer will repay them one by one.
Perhaps because he was shocked by the aura surrounding Lan You Nian, the words Lan Mo Xian wanted to say brother will help you gain retribution was not uttered. Nianer meimei had too many secrets on her. Perhaps it was all due to the suffering in the past. Lan Mo Xian only wanted to protect his little sister. Everything else was unimportant.
Young miss, do you need to dress up grandly today? Lan Qu asked while dressing up her familys young miss. After all, today young miss will be attending a banquet at the pce. Her familys young miss, no matter at what time, always wore a simple attire, or it was more urate to say young miss never dressed up in earnest. After following young miss for so long, shes never seen young miss put on make-up. Even though every time young miss didnt apply any rouge, she was already shockingly beautiful.
No need, just the usual, Lan You Nian said. She didnt even reveal her own appearance so what would it matter if she dressed up or not? Not to mention it was best to be low-key, but if someone purposefully provoked her, then it wouldnt be a bad idea for her to stir up the water in the pce.
Were not allowed to bring maidservants into the pce today. If you two want to go out, go out and take a walk, or go to third brothers ce to look around! Lan You Nian instructed. Many of the businesses in the capital were taken care of by third brother so was very busy indeed. If Lan Wu and Lan Qu went over, theyd be able to help out.
En, but young miss, there may be danger entering the pce this time. Young miss has to be more careful, Lan Qu said worriedly then to Lan Ren who just came back yesterday, she instructed, Take care of young miss. Pay more attention to everything.
I understand! Lan Ren smiled slightly at Lan Qu. Lan You Nian and Lan Wu caught this slight smile. The two both stopped to look at Lan Qu and Lan Ren, their straightforwardness made Lan Qus and Lan Rens face blush.
I didnt expect Lan Ren to have such an appearance of tender affection. This young miss thought you are never gentle? Lan You Nianughed and teased. Concerning the ambiguous rtionship between the two, Lan You Nian was fully aware of it. If the two can be together, it would be a good union. Ever since Lan Ren followed her, he always worked hard, and Lan Qu was also cautious and sensible; the two were well suited.
Young miss, how can you be like this? Doesnt Lan Ren usually smile in front of young miss? Lan Qu refuted, red-faced.
Oh, our Lan Qu jiejie is jealous? Lan You Nian looked at Lan Wu and teased, making the two blush even harder.
Young miss, Lan Qu circled Lan Qu and Lan Ren then sincerely said, The two of them are really well matched. When did you get together? Even hiding this from young miss and me. Young miss should punish then!
Young miss! Lan Qus cautious expression was gone. She was so embarrassed she didnt know what to do, only gently pushed Lan Qu, If you dare talk nonsense, be careful I...
You what? Aiya, how can our Lan Qu jiejie not even know how to speak anymore? Lan Wu didnt let her off easily.
Young miss, there is nothing between Lan Qu and me. Please ask young miss to believe us! Lan Ren suddenly knelt on the ground and pleaded sincerely. Although he did have a good impression of Lan Qu, the two did not have any secret interactions. Their body and hearts were entirely loyal to young miss; this was the vow he made when young miss saved him.
Lan Qu also put down the peach-woodb in her hands and fell to the ground in suit, earnestly entreated, Young miss, ever since young miss saved us, gave every one of us a new life, gave us hope of life, this ve vowed to apany young miss, to take care of young miss. Please ask young miss to believe Lan Qu!
Lan Wu also dropped her smile. Because of young miss, they had everything they had now. They respected young miss, loved young miss; they will never betray young miss. Their entire life will be dedicated to young miss, to guard young miss; this was their vow.
Alright! Get up! Lan You Nian dragged the two up. She was aware that in ancient times, subordinates were not allowed to act ording to their own will concerning marriage. In the old times, many subordinates were solitarily loyal to their master. However, that didnt mean she, Lan You Nian, needed to do this too.
In the past, I told you, you guys are not only my subordinates but are also my friends. I even said I want loyalty but wont deny that you have your own thoughts, Lan You Nian picked up the peach woodb on the table and continuedbing her long hair as she addressed the others, In the future if you have someone you like, its a happy asion. Besides, as long as the person you like isnt harmful to me, its all good. I believe you understand what is appropriate!
I dont want to like other people. I want to stay with young miss all my life! Lan Qu was unusually unruly as she rebutted.
Even if you want to leave my side, this young miss is reluctant. Who said after marriage you cant stay by my side? Besides, what if you marry Lan Ren? Then arent the two of you still by my side? This method is really good! Lan You Nian nodded to herself, agreeing with her own perspective.
Young miss, why dont you still believe? There really is nothing between Lan Ren and me! Lan Qu was very anxious. There was really nothing between her and Lan Ren, they were both people under young miss so inevitably considered each other family members. If she spoke the truth, Lan Qu felt she really liked Lan Ren a little bit, in her heart, young miss was the most important.
After listening, Lan You Nian knew that the two were still at the stage of confusion, but Lan You Nian was still very optimistic about them both. Both of them knew each other very well, and their characters were trustworthy. If the two really got together, in the future Lan Qu didnt need to leave her side, and Lan Ren can still continue to work for Wu Qing Pavilion; indeed it was very good.
Alright, why so serious? Anyways, you only need to know that I dont object to it! Lan You Nian didnt rush them. After all, the matter of feelings was best if it proceeded naturally. If they got together, it was their fate, if not, then it was not destined to be.
Lan Qu seeing her familys young miss did not continue this topic finally sighed in relief. She continued tob Lan You Niansb, meanwhile muttering in her heart, it seems young miss was educating her one after the other but when it came to her own matters, how is she so slow? That Ming wang treated young miss so well. When he sees young miss, his eyes will shine, that was so obvious, why doesnt young miss understand? But Lan Qu considered again, young miss was only thirteen years old, how much can she know about love? It seems that young miss was usually too omnipotent that she almost deified young miss.
Nianer, are you ready? Lan Mo Xian arrived at You Nian Pavilion a while ago and now waited outside the pavilion as he asked.
Hearing her brothers voice, Lan You Nian put on the veil. Meanwhile, Lan Ren returned to the shadows in concealment. Lan You Nian walked out of the pavilion. She saw her own brother wearing a moonlight colored formal wear. The cuffs were embroidered with several stalks of serene green bamboo. Long raven ck hair like ck ink was held together by an exquisite piece of white jade hairpin. His entire person was like a tree covered with snow (idiom: a person with high moral character), crystal clear, fresh and pleasing. He looked like the most ordinary brother as he stood waiting there.
Brother... Lan You Nian came to Lan Mo Xians side and softly murmured, enjoying this hard-won familial love.
Hn. Lan Mo Xian nced at his little sisters attire, then frowned, Why is it so in every time? Arent other girls your age all wearing colorful dresses? Only you wear white all day long!
Hehe, does little sister not look good wearing it? Lan You Nian linked her arms with Lan Mo Xian and asked in a spoilt manner.
Looks good, how can it not look good? I, Lan Mo Xians little sister is the prettiest! Lan Mo Xian felt useful at little sisters rare act of being spoiled. Although he knew his little sisters face was already disfigured, most of the time, he will forget this matter. After all, Lan You Nians temperament was too wonderful. Besides, if you merely looked at Lan You Nian and didnt think about that disfigurement, take the posture and disposition, who canpare?
Isnt that good enough? Lan You Nian tugged on Lan Mo Xian and headed out of the manor, Okay, lets go, its almost time for the banquet!

76 Admiring Chrysanthemums Banquet
March 29, 2019

When Lan You Nian and Lan Mo Xian exited Lan Manor, they discovered two sets of horse-drawn carriages in front of the gates of Lan manor. One belonged to Ming wang manor, the other belonged to fourth wangye.
Just as Lan Mo Xian was about to go forward to perform salutations, he was stopped by Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian dragged her brother into Lan manors carriage. Under Lan You Nians cue, the guard drove the carriage and set out. Meanwhile, Ming wangfus carriage and fourth wangfus carriage followed in suit.
Nianer, that was fourth wangye and Ming wang. How can such neglect be appropriate? Lan Mo Xian asked bewildered.
This is the gates of Lan Manor. If brother is so friendly with the two princes in in sight, then does brother think Lan Manor wont be an eyesore in some peoples eyes? Lan You Nians tone was indifferent as she rified.
Nianer meimei is right. Mo Xian you arent as smart as Nianer meimei! Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan used qinggong to dart into the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage Lan Manor sent out was big enough, so seating four people in one carriage didnt feel crowded.
Fourth wangye, Ming wang! Lan Mo Xian saluted, I was thoughtless! Although now he already officially joined fourth wangyes camp, outsiders werent aware of this, only believed him to be Ming wangs subordinate. If others knew that Lan manor sided with fourth wangye, then there will be much for Lan manor to bear in the future.
Nianer meimei is really smart, much smarter than your brother! Feng Xia Qi seemingly boneless reclined in the carriage as he praised Lan You Nian.
You take up too much of the space! Before Lan You Nian could speak, Feng Yi Xuan snapped frigidly to his own royal brother.
Feng Xia Qi eyed the area he upied. Indeed, he upied half of the space in the carriage. Under his brothers sharp eyes, he obediently sat up straight, recovering his original, elegant fa?ade.
With you entering the pce today, the empress will probably find trouble with you. If you arent happy, just kill. Dont let yourself be wronged The tone of Feng Yi Xuans voice was cool like the feeling of spring, trickling over Lan You Nians heart. Her heart was touched by the faint concern in his voice.
Uh, AXuan, you will lead Nianer meimei astray! Feng Xia Qi helplessly looked at his younger brother. After all, the other was a girl, was it really good for you to be so cruel and blunt? But Lan You Nians following words revealed to Feng Xia Qi, its perfect!
I know, I will do it cleanly! Lan You Nian replied gravely. Although in this world, the power of royalty was supreme, it was alright for her to be slightly mistreated, but if you crossed her bottom line, then if she wants to kill, why not?
Pu Feng Xia Qi and Lan Mo Xian spluttered. This one cruel tyrant was already difficult to deal with, but now came another? They always felt Lan You Nian was weak and pitiful; how can they expect that her heart was so ferocious!
AXuan, you see youve led Nianer meimei astray! Feng Xia Qi hastened to remedy the situation, for fear that the little sister he liked so much will be like his younger brother, cold-blooded and murderous. He turned around and allowed a very refined smile to bloom on his face, Nianer meimei, you cant believe AXuans words, girls should be gentle!
Feng Yi Xuan sneered but didnt say anything. His own royal brother did not see with his own eyes Nian Nians abilities and decisiveness. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, regardless of whether Nian Nian was a weak female of the boudoir or an apathetic woman with decisive killer instincts, he Feng Yi Xuan will like all the same.
Ming wang is right. I dont want to ept any mistreatment! Lan You Nian corrected Feng Xia Qis remark. In fact, after being in contact with Feng Xia Qi more and more, Lan You Nian noticed that although this person was cunning like a fox, if he considered you a real friend, then his high morality reaches the clouds (idiom: ones value on friendship reaches great heights; values friendship), indeed a man worth befriending.
~cough~cough~Of course Im not saying to let Nianer meimei be wronged. My meaning is if Nianer meimei is wronged, then you can tell me. I, AXuan, Mo Xian and the others will definitely demand retribution for Nianer meimei! Feng Xia Qi said sincerely. Since he recognized this little sister, then he was serious. Of course, he wont let his friends little sister be wronged, but he was worried that Lan You Nian, a yet unmarried young girl, how can she adequately cope with everything in the royal pce?
Nianer, no matter what, you must be careful. If its not necessary, dont eat anything, Lan Mo Xian started to babble again. In the royal pce, the mostmon method used was to mess around with the wine and pastries. Maybe Nianer wasnt aware of these dirty methods, so he needed to remind in advance.
I know. Thank you everyone for your concern! Lan You Nian nodded. The carriage was quickly approaching the royal pce, Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi swiftly departed from Lan manors carriage and returned to their own transport. Both of them entered Lan manors carriage for their personal reasons: Feng Xia Qi was because he was worried for Lan You Nian while Feng Yi Xuan, on the one hand, was worried for Lan You Nian, and on the other hand he simply missed Lan You Nian. Obviously, he would be able to see her when he entered the pce, but Feng Yi Xuan couldnt hold himself back.
The carriage stopped in front of the Meridian Gate at the outermost periphery of the pce. All family members and other people must get off their carriage and follow a eunuch to walk into the pce. Only one carriage can enter the pce directly without stopping, and that was Ming wangfu carriage. Ming wangfu, Feng Yi Xuan, having campaigned for many years, has toiled and umted a lot of merits, as well as having the Emperors favor, so it was not only decreed Feng Yi Xuan can forgo the etiquette of kneeling, Ming wangfus carriage can directly enter the pce. Ming wang is even allowed to carry a de and ride on a horse to travel in the pce. This was a privilege that no other wangye ever had.
Feng Xia Qi was toozy to walk, so he stepped down from his own carriage then ran into Feng Yi Xuans carriage. All the young miss of officials families waiting at the Meridian Gate all shyly looked down when they saw Feng Xia Qi as they giggled behind their handkerchief. Only Lan You Nian when seeing that sinful face remained unmoved.
Feng Yi Xuan, from the gap in the curtain of the carriage, saw Nian Nian standing there waiting. His heart felt unwell. He very much wanted to apany her, or let Nian Nian sit on his own carriage and publicly enter the pce. But thinking of the fact that Nian Nian currently did not have any feelings for him, he felt depressed. Feng Yi Xuan started to doubt his own attractiveness.
Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian stood at the Meridian Gate with the children of the other officials families in waiting. After a while, several eunuchs came out to lead the way to the Empresss Kunning Pce (Pce of Earthly Tranquility) which is todays location for the chrysanthemum banquet.
Kunning Pce was located in the center of the royal pce, the one nearest to the Emperors pce of rest (otherwise known as the Hall of Heavenly Purity), but it still took some time to walk the distance. The cornice of Kunning Pce was carved with dragons and phoenixes, golden-scaled, golden armor, lively and vivid like they want to fly away. Golden zed tiles shone in the sun with blinding brilliance. Under the clear blue skies, that golden zed tiles with multiple-level eaves were extraordinarily magnificent.
Following everyone into Kunning Pce, under the eunuchs guidance, everyone walked into Kunning Pces garden. Sure enough, the garden was full of blooming chrysanthemums, each one was unique, of such an assorted variety that it was dizzying. There were some that had petals that were short at the top and long at the ends like the many, small outstretched hands of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. Some were like crabs disying its ws of the Crab chrysanthemum, and others were like mini balls of Purple Silk Balls.... Each flower had its own characteristics. Some were beautiful and elegant; others were bright and eye-catching. Some pranced and stood proudly disyed... The chrysanthemums were in full bloom, zing with colors of all different kinds... Flowers red as fire, white like snow, pink like the dawn, big ones were like round silk balls, the small ones were like delicate flowernterns. A whole cluster of chrysanthemums was currently in full bloom. Who can imagine that in this summer season chrysanthemums were actually in bloom? After all, chrysanthemums only bloomed in the autumn. This showed how rare these varieties were.

Although Lan Yu Nian wasnt fond of how binding the pce was, like a cage, but seeing the full garden of chrysanthemums, she was amazed and delighted. Who didnt like beautiful things? Lan You Nian gently lowed her head, delicately scented the seductive fragrance that the chrysanthemums exuded, instantly feeling refreshed and invigorated!
Following the eunuchs into the courtyard built in the middle of the garden, where inside was already arranged several tables, chairs, and drinks. Many young masters and young have already taken their seats by the arrangement of the eunuchs. Lan You Nian followed the eunuch into the courtyard. In this courtyard, one can better appreciate the garden full of chrysanthemums. Indeed, a perfect ce to admire the scenery.
General Che Qi, your seat is over there, Lan You Nian sat in the arranged seat. Lan Mo Xian was ready to sit next to his little sister so that he can better protect her but didnt expect the eunuch who led the way to make a sound.
Lan Mo Xian scanned his arranged seat. It was just under the several wangye and together with Jing Wu An and others. But looking at his little sister, Lan Mo Xian wasnt at ease. Just as he was about to say something, Hua Mu Qing arrived, jogging over to Lan You Nians side, Nianer meimei, you came too?
En, Mu Qing jiejie! Lan You Nian curtsied then said to Lan Mo Xian, Brother go sit down. Mu Qing jiejie is here too. Brother shouldnt worry!
Lan Mo Xian seeing all the seats around his little sister were all taken by females, he knew if he really sat down it wouldnt be appropriate. To Hua Mu Qing he said solemnly, Requesting junzhu to take care of little sister.
Usually when the two are together, when have they spoke so seriously? It was all bickering without a stop. Now that Lan Mo Xian was so serious Hua Mu Qing wasnt used to it. But recalling todays banquet was being held by the Empress, then connecting it the things that happened a few days ago at prime ministers manor, Hua Mu Qing understood some of the intricacies, and nodded, Nianer meimei is not only your little sister, she is also I Hua Mu Qings little sister. Theres no need for you to say more!
Lan Mo Xian knew Hua Mu Qings personality was like this, so he was more assured and followed the eunuch to his own seat.
Hua Mu Qing sat on the seat above Lan You Nian, but at this moment, the eunuch who led Hua Mu Qing interrupted, Junzhu, junzhus seat is in the front. Please ask junzhu to move!
Move? When does this junzhus seating need you, a eunuch, to concern yourself with? Scram! Hua Mu Qings stony face was very much dignified. This was the capitals junzhu. Hua Mu Qing, at this moment, already put on her own mask to face the pretense of the royal court.
The eunuch bowed his head and withdrew. After all, Hua Mu Qing, this junzhu, was known to be arrogant and domineering in the capital. Even the emperor indulged her, so many people didnt dare oppose Hua Mu Qing. Hua Mu Qing was different from the usual maidens, if she cant stand you, she will directly deal with you, who can stop her? Because of this, many people avoid her.
It seems Mu Qing jiejie also has your dignified moments, Nianer almost cant recognize! Lan You Nian sat upright in her seat. Of the other young maidens around her, she didnt know any of them, so she didnt bother with the awkwardness of a greeting.
Ai, in this pce if you want to live, you must have a little ability, Hua Mu Qing tugged on Lan You Nians hand that she put on the table, Nianer meimei, today be careful. This pce is full of countless dirty things. I hope you wont see it!
En! Lan You Nian also tugged Hua Mu Qings hand but sneered in her heart. I, Lan You Nian, has seen the dirtiest things in the world. A fiancs betrayal, her biological sisters betrayal, and her biological mothers betrayal. What were dirtier than these?
The Empress has arrived! the sharp voice of the eunuch rang out.
Empress An Qian Mei gracefully walked into the flower garden. Followed by an entourage of pce maids, she stepped onto the highest position seated above. Today, the empress was dressed grandly like usual, decked out in a royal blue pce dress, with broad sleeve-cuffs embroidered with purple thread into a phoenix soaring into the heavens. Her hair has been meticulouslybed, perfectly representing her status with a Flying Phoenix hairstyle. ring against her exquisite face, a pair of dark and deep eyes flooding with an aristocratic brilliance, gorgeous and dazzling. It made people dare not directly look into them.
Pic borrowed by the chinese TV series Nirvana in Fire but this is what the action of sping ones hands in front of their chest looks like, honestly theres no better word how to describe it in english
Greetings to the Empress! The young masters and misses in the garden all got up and performed the required etiquette. Amongst them, only Feng Yi Xuan remained seated, not moving an inch, while Feng Xia Qi only just superficially sped his hands in front of his chest. Looking at Empresss expression, although she was not satisfied but was obviously ustomed to it. It seems like the Empress and fourth wangyes sides were indeed like fire and water!
Recently, bengong received some rare and beautiful chrysanthemums, so today specially invited everyone toe to admire it as to not letting these chrysanthemums bloom in vain! the Empresss eyes swept over the people sitting in the garden. When theynded on Lan You Nian, she obviously paused, then withdrew her gaze as if nothing happened.
Many thanks to Empress! the crowd echoed in unison.

Empress Mother, it would be boring if we simply enjoy the chrysanthemums like this. How about letting each young master and young miss perform a talent? Isnt that better? Eldest princess Feng Xiao Luo stood up and proposed her idea to the Empress who sat in the seat above.
Hn, what Luoer said is reasonable. What does everyone else think? Empress looked at the people below.
Of the people sitting below, no one did not fawn, saying the eldest princesss proposal was excellent. Many of them were already eager to try. A pce banquet was not a simple banquet. If an officials daughter caught the attention of a wangye or some other person, then she could fly up into a branch and be a phoenix (idiom: attain a high status). Under such circumstances, of course, everyone wanted to show their talents.
Empress Mother, this son thinks what eldest imperial sister said is very interesting, but if it is simply performing a talent, there is nothing new about that. How about something different? Second wangye stood up and suggested to the Empress. Everyone who heard his words felt it was indeed true, so no one refuted this. Furthermore, no one dared to contradict. The power of the Empresss faction was quiterge. In this imperial pce, perhaps only Ming wang with his uncertain moods dared to oppose the Empresss faction.
Oh? Dont know if anyone has some new ideas? Dont hide it, let us hear it! Empress urged the people below, but the only ones who dared to directly speak were the wangye and princesses.
Empress mother how about we do rewards and punishments today. Each one performs their talent in pairs, the one who loses allows the party who wins to deal out their punishment. All of todays talent performances must be rted to chrysanthemums. What does empress mother think? third princess Feng Guan Lian blinked her watery eyes, very naive and adorable as she proposed her suggestion, but Lan You Nian did not miss the malice hidden behind that naivety. It seems with the Empress directing her schemes against her, even this third princess was participating in this matter.
Lianers proposal is fresh. What does everyone think? Empress seemed to be very pleased.
As the Empress wishes! Everyone replied bowing their heads. In reality, the Empresss question was just a mere formality to avoid an overbearing impression. After all, the Empress having stated such a proposal, it was leading them in the direction, who will disapprove? This imperial pce was indeed really dull.
Which young misses want to start? Empress asked the crowd.
Empress Mother, how about eldest sister and I start off? Empress mother is that good? the third princess wore a pink ruqun, the pearl hairpin was in a cute style. When others see this type of woman, they will feel she was innocent and cute, inevitably have a good impression of her.
En, granted! Empress nodded and agreed. Eldest princess and third princess walked down from their seating and came to the open space for the performance. The two princesses each had their own strong points. The eldest princesss looks were simple but elegant. She had the bearing and etiquette that a princess should have, while the third princess looked young and cute. At first nce, it provoked ones tenderness. Between these two princesses dress, it was telling whose scheming was on a deeper level.
The third princess leaned into the eldest princesss ear and quietly whispered some words. Everyone only saw the third princess, after speaking to the eldest princess, reveal a satisfied smile.
In a short while, an ensemble of stringed and woodwind instruments yed in ones ears. The eldest princess and third princess changed into dancing outfits and soared into dance. The two wore yellow dresses. When they twirled around in around, the flower pattern on their clothes blossomed like each flower of the chrysanthemums blooming in the garden, exceedingly beautiful.
The Empress was quite satisfied with the performance of the two princesses below. After the eldest princess and third princess finished dancing, praises can be heard without end. Many people honestly felt that the two danced very beautifully while many people were just shamelessly ttering. After all, the twos dance was not physically challenging, just some whirling and twirling. What was beautiful was the clothing embroidered with chrysanthemums.
Alright, as for the judges, lets have every young master and wangye take over! Empress announced allowing everyone to start to evaluate the performance.
Below, some young masters conferred a while. Then second prince Feng Shao Chu announced the result, Eldest princess and third princesss dance waspleted by the two together. The twos dance is equally matched, so everyone unanimously agrees that eldest princess and third princess are equally divided, neither won nor lost!
Empress was obviously very satisfied with the result. After all, although the eldest princess was very good in etiquette, her talent in dance was a littlecking, En, then in this talent performance Luoer and Lianer both won!
Next, one after another, there was some officials young misspeting in this talent performance. All four arts could be seen. At first, Lan You Nian watched the show with some hint of freshness but drawing towards the end, she grew bored. Besides, no matter who won or lost, no one made it too ugly. At most, it was letting the losing party drink a few more cups, or let the losing party sing a song or dance. Except for the young misses who had hatred between them who were a little excessive, the others were very dull.
This princess wants topete with junzhu! the second princess suddenly dered, pointing at Hua Mu Qing.
Really hateful, why does this second princess keep picking on me? Does she really think Im easy to bully ah! Hua Mu Qing bowed her head as she muttered, obviously dissatisfied with the second princesss provocation but she still stood up to give her consent.
The second princess was the capitals famous talented woman. She was aplished in all four arts. Inparison, Hua Mu Qing was in a much bigger crisis. All these years, Hua Mu Qing did not focus on what women should do. All day, she was like a tomboy practicing martial arts and her temper was very explosive.
The talent the second princess disyed turned out to be a poem about chrysanthemums. Some people who came before also used chrysanthemum to make a poem, but the poems made were quite ordinary; there was nothing new. But the second princess was genuinely worthy of being a talented woman. The poem that flowed out of her mouth caused Lan You Nian to feel a trace of admiration for her. But the premise was that she did note to provoke her friend. She Lan You Nian was very protective of her own people.
Mu Qing jiejie, do you and the second princess have any strife in the past? Taking advantage of the interval of the second princesss performance, Lan You Nian questioned Hua Mu Qing who sat beside her.
What strife ah? This woman just makes a big deal of nothing. She always believed herself to be the first talented woman in the world and is so proud of it, so she usually looks down on me, but I dont bother with her. There was one time when she pissed me off, and I pushed her down, thats all. I didnt expect her to bear the grudge all these years! Hua Mu Qing spilled all herints to Lan You Nian. It seems that even after all these years, the second princess still suffers unhappiness over it.
What to do? Its almost this junzhus turn. Nianer meimei, what should I do? If I lose, that woman will definitely find many different ways to torture me! Hua Mu Qing said desperately to Lan You Nian.
Mu Qing jiejie dont you have any confidence? Lan You Nian asked. After all, in her eyes, Hua Mu Qing was a wonderful woman. She didnt like those shallow women.
Aiya, Nianer meimei, you dont know, if its fighting, then I have confidence, but if you want me to make a poem, I really cant do it! Hua Mu Qing said with frustration.
Who said that you must make a poem? Lan You Nian winked at Hua Mu Qing, Doesnt Mu Qing jiejie know how to sword dance? How about Mu Qing jiejie do a dance? Its best to use a sword to dance amongst the chrysanthemums. This counts as being rted to chrysanthemums. Just call it chrysanthemum sword dance. Isnt that good?
Yeah! In any case, I only know how to do that. Whether or not I can win isnt important. At least I wont lose face. Nianer meimei, youre so smart! Hua Mu Qing hugged Lan You Nian and immediately walked out of her seat, heading towards the open space to perform.
This junzhu is she able? Dont lose face and end up in tears in the end! Lan Mo Xian said to Jing Wu An, obviously the words were criticizing, but it was full of concern.
Look at you, you seem worried about junzhu? Jing Wu An said deliberately.
Whos worried for her? Whats there to worry about? Anyways, Im looking forward to seeing her make a clown of herself. Why would I worry for her? Lan Mo Xian stiffened his neck as he denied, but clearly, Jing Wu An did not believe him. Even He Chu Yang who sat beside them had a look of I dont believe you.
Ai, what do you guys mean by this? Lan Mo Xian demanded.
What meaning can we have? Were just seeing a certain person say one thing and mean another. Its quite interesting thats all! Jing Wu An looked to Hua Mu Qing who stood in the performing area.
Did not! You guys cant frame me like this! Lan Mo Xian also paid attention to Hua Mu Qing in the field. They grew up together, so he knew Hua Mu Qing did not have any talent. Seeing the second princesss current attitude, she will definitely be difficult towards Hua Mu Qing. Lan Mo Xian was worried inside.
Concerning Lan Mo Xians even if you kill him, he wont admit it denial, Jing Wu An and He Chu Yang simply ignored it.
Hua Mu Qing stood in the field. Suddenly, she drew a long sword that hung from a guards waist, then came to the chrysanthemum garden, and started to fluidly dance with the sword and flowers. The pieces of chrysanthemums that were sliced by the sword fluttered around Hua Mu Qing. Hua Mu Qings sword dance was apanied by the softness of a woman and a mans heroic spirit. It can be considered unique, making peoples eyes brighten!
When Hua Mu Qing ended the sword dance, there was a burst of praise all around. These praises were genuine. Many people did not expect the junzhu they thought to be domineering actually had such talents. The way she danced made the sword dance beautiful beyond belief!
Hua Mu Qing gleefully returned the sword to the guard and returned to her seat, energetically eximed to Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei, you are truly able. You didnt see how ugly the expression on that womans face was. Indeed, ying the zither and singing songs isnt suited for me, rather brandishing weapons is more to my liking!
Lan You Nian nced at that second princess and indeed saw the second princesss disgruntled expression while the empress sitting high above was also a face of displeasure. Lan You Nian eyed the garden of chrysanthemums that have been ruined by Hua Mu Qing and instantly understood why the Empresss face was so. She only told her to sword dance amongst the chrysanthemums, maybe add a little chrysanthemum to the show, thats all. She didnt expect Hua Mu Qings power of destruction was so frightening. This gardens chrysanthemums have been wrecked!
Mu Qing jiejie, Empresss face is even uglier Lan You Nian snickered.
What? Why? It wasnt the eldest princess I waspeting with, Hua Mu Qing was puzzled.
Look at the garden, and you will know! Lan You Nian pointed at the garden. Hua Mu Qing tilted her head over to the garden, then Hua Mu Qing bowed her head without saying a word....
Haha! How is this junzhu sword dancing ah? Its really brutally deflowering! He Chu Yang looked at the chrysanthemums that were wilting and couldnt helpugh with Jing Wu An.
Hmph, no semnce to a woman at all! Lan Mo Xian also looked at the destroyed chrysanthemums and sneered, but his eyes were full ofughter.
Oh? But I feel junzhus dance wasnt so bad. There was both a womans charm and mans strong-will. In this garden, is there one maiden who can be like junzhu? Jing Qu An praised.
Hmph! Crude! Lan Mo Xian was still poison-mouthed.
Jing Wu An, dont talk to Mo Xian anymore. He likes to say opposite things the most! He Chu Yang said to Jing Qu An. Jing Qu An smirked suggestively at Lan Mo Xian, making Lan Mo Xian difited.

Thisdy wants topete with Lan manors third young miss. Is Lan third miss willing? a young woman of eighteen years old stood up and directed her question at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian lifted her eyes to look at the woman. She wore a somewhat extravagant dress, the colorful flowers under the sunlight were splendid and gleaming, sparkling as they showed off the hallow carved flower hairpin tucked in a bun and the tassels swaying on a buyao (a type of hairpin that sways as the wearer walks hence the name). Elegant and dignified, quiet and graceful, but the malice in her eyes directed at her destroyed this beauty
Who is that? Lan You Nian, studying the woman who challenged her, asked Hua Mu Qing. Although she already received a detailed report of the rtionships in the capital, having not met the actual persons, a little bit of confusion was inevitable.
Nianer meimei, you must be careful. This woman is An Si Yan, Prime Minister Ans most beloved granddaughter as well as the capitals recognized beauty. Im afraid shes calling on you because of what happened the other day at Prime Minister Manor! Hua Mu Qing worried. After all, under such circumstances, Nianer meimei must agree. If she didnt agree, everyone would think Nianer meimei was useless. People already looked down on Nianer meimei since her return to the capital.
Lan third young miss, why dont do you speak? Do you look down on thisdy? Are you not willing topete with thisdy? An Si Yan deliberately asked dejectedly. Due to her beauty, many men in the capital admired her. The moment she acted dejected, there were indeed many young masters who cast ming eyes at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian, towards these indignant men, couldnt help but feel that a womans face was indeed her greatest weapon. She, however, wont allow her own looks to be a weapon. Looks will always grow old, but only when you have your own ability, only then can you protect yourself better.
Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to stand. Although he knew Nian Nian was capable of dealing with these vulgar peoples purposeful provocation, in his eyes his Nian Nian should be pampered by everyone. Yet these people actually dared to bully Nian Nian in front of him. How can he turn a blind eye to it?
AXuan! Feng Xia Qi held down his younger brother who was about to lose his temper. He asked with displeasure, Who canpare to Nianer meimei inparing talents? Who canpare to her song?
Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips in silence. The cold air around him was unabated. His eyes were fixed on Nian Nian who was being med by so many people. His heart twinged with pain. Of course, he knew Nian Nians talent was unparalleled but so what? He wanted his Nian Nian to perform because she liked to do those things, not because she was forced to do those things by other people.
AXuan, when have you be so impulsive? All these years, I have never seen you so impulsive. Whats happened to you? Feng Xia Qi lowered his head, his voice was low as he whispered in Feng Yi Xuans ear, Nianer meimei is a great girl. I also want to protect her like a little sister, but no matter what, you cant be so impulsive!
Feng Yi Xuan coolly nced at Feng Xia Qi, then as if nothing happened withdrew his gaze. He didnt regard Nian Nian as a little sister; he saw Nian Nian as his own womanhis wife for the rest of his life, his most loved person in this life.
Feng Xia Qi sighed lowly. This younger brother of his usually never cared about anything. Now that he was finally like a person and showed care towards a little sister, his temper has be even more entric. Feng Xia Qi honestly didnt know what to do. Only in the future did Feng Xia Qi finally understand. His own younger brotherbecause he cared, he became impulsive; because he cared, he became different.
Thisdy did not mean to look down on An young miss. Please ask An young miss not to specte casually! Lan You Nian looked at the woman opposite her and said calmly. Although this woman was beautiful, she was not a scheming person. For her to do this, arge part of it was probably the Prime Ministers intention, or if not, then it was the Empresss intention.
Since its so, then third young miss is agreeing! An Si Yan eyes shed with a smug look. She heard grandfather talk about this Lan third miss, making her wonder how smart she was, but with a simple provocation, she actually agreed. Indeed, she was just a little girl who cant be seen in public. As long as she wins this time, then she will certainly mercilessly humiliate this Lan third young miss and make it so that she cannot lift her head in the capital in the future. This will also be taking revenge for the loss of face for what happened to her An familyst time.
An Si Yan believed Lan You Nian did not have any talent. Not only An Si Yan thought so, everyone else who was attending the banquet thought so. Lan manors third young miss who has been missing so many years is only now just found. How could she have time to learn these womanly skills?
An Si Yan curtsied to the Empress. It had to be said that whatever a beauty did, it was beautiful. An Si Yan was like this. But those who use beauty to get the attention of a man cannot be a respectable person.
The talent that An Si Yan wanted to show off was a painting of chrysanthemums. Everyone sitting in their seat watched as An Si Yan painted the garden full of chrysanthemums. After waiting for a few incense sticks, An Si Yan enchantingly smiled and put down her brush. That enchanting smile made eyes of many of the men who were there burn with desire. Indeed a seductive woman.
Si Yan painted a painting of a garden of chrysanthemums. Please ask every wangye and young master to give pointers! An Si Yan bent down slightly to the mens side with a curtsy. That slightly exposed vicle swaying in front of them made many mens eyes squint. Why would they go look at the painting? They only cared to look at the beauty in front of them.
Lan You Nian studied that painting. The painting technique was not skillful nor exquisite. The chrysanthemum drawn were shy but had nothing substantial to it. The essence of the chrysanthemums was not drawn. Chrysanthemum was the hermit within the other flowers. It had the style of pine and deportment of plum blossom. However, An Si Yans painting was only an empty hole.
Lan third young miss, please! An Si Yan looked at Lan Yu Nian as she invited her to the stage. She seemed to already see Lan You Nians humiliated image.
Lan You Nian stood up and gave a curtsy. If one said that the reason An Si Yan caught peoples attention was because of that beautiful face, then the reason Lan You Nian attracted everyones eyes by standing up was due to her unique temperament. Ethereal like a celestial fairy, free and at ease like a chivalric hero, fragile like porcin, so many kinds of temperaments contradicting each other yet were merged together, forming a unique temperament that made everyone couldnt help but want to get close to.
Those who were familiar with her, seeing her stand up, believed she will pick the zither and sing a song. After all, they knew Lan You Nian is a famous girl in the maind. Moreover, Lan You Nians song was indeed absolutely unique. However, Lan You Nian as she stood in the field did not pick up the zither, neither did she even open her mouth; it made everyone bewildered.
Lan third miss, do you not know anything? If Lan third miss really cant do anything, then admit defeat. Si Yan can understand! An Si Yans smug voice rang in the banquet and attracted many peoples agreement.
Just as everyone was ready to say something, Feng Yi Xuans apathetic eyes like that of a wolfs swept over the entire banquet. Those who were swept by Feng Yi Xuans eyes all felt their souls tremble in fear. This bloodthirsty feeling that can casually shred you apart at any time made everyone afraid to mutter a sound.
Dark and faint purple, a warm incandescent yellow. Tao makes the color around the fence, Luo Han residents fragrance.
When is it time to forbid the heavy dew, truly afraid of the setting sun. Willing to soak in the gold conch cup, to enter the luxurious hall.
The crisp yet delicate voice rose up over the area. From the very first verse Lan You Nian spoke, everyone was stunned. Then it was admiration and then shock. Who would ever have imagined that Lan You Nian can make a poem on the spot? Moreover, the literary talent was so extraordinary. Even Feng Yi Xuan and the others were stunned for a moment. They couldnt believe that that delicate figure standing in the open space, not only was her skill at the zither and song moving, now even poem verses were flowing out of her mouth. Such a girl, who wouldnt like?
Feng Yi Xuans eyes bore straight into Lan You Nian, eyes shing with a burning glow. He always knew Nian Nian was very talented, from the song she sang, from her heart-moving and soul-stirring music, from her rapid skill. He thought he already understood this girl but the closer he got, the more surprises he received. This girl was so outstanding it made him immensely proud.
Jing Wu An pped his hands without stop, his mouth joyfully calling out, Nianer meimei, great literary talent!
The capitals number one gifted schr was already praising, everyone followed suit in apuse. Many of the people were aware that Lan You Nians literary skill was genuinely amazing; this was undeniable. An Si Yan hatefully red at Lan You Nian who nonchntly returned to her seat. Her heart hated to the extreme. She never imagined that not only was not not able to humiliate Lan You Nian, she even earned the praise of Jing Wu An. It was really failing to steal the chicken even losing the rice in the process!
Nianer meimei? Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan You Nian who was sitting quietly and mncholily called out.
Whats wrong? Lan You Nian didnt understand howe Hua Mu Qing looked like she received a massive blow? Who provoked her?
Nianer meimei, how are you so smart? You make older sister I feel embarrassed! Hua Mu Qing carefully looked at Lan You Nian. On the one hand, she felt happy for Lan You Nians talent, on the other hand, when thinking about herself, she felt she wasnt worthy of being an older sister.
Everyone has their own value. Mu Qing jiejie is a rarely seen broad-minded woman. Nianer admires a great deal! Lan You Nian peeled an orange and put it on Hua Mu Qings table, her tone sincere. She envied Hua Mu Qings personality, even envied Hua Mu Qings clean soul, not like her...
Really? If so, Im still qualified to be Nianers older sister? Having such a sister like you, older sister is very proud! I really envy Lan Mo Xian! As Hua Mu Qing finished, she even red at Lan Mo Xian, making Lan Mo Xian feel entirely innocent.
Nianer meimei and older sisters feelings, how can one use worthy or not worthy to measure? The feelings between sisters are only dependent on the heart! Lan You Nian smiled.
En! I Hua Mu Qings sister is indeed different. In the future, as long as there is I Hua Mu Qing one day, I will definitely protect younger sister you! Hua Mu Qing dered, seemingly like she was making a vow. This was precisely what Hua Mu Qing really did in the future, and this friendship was like the vow of today.
The mens side started to discuss Lan You Nian and An Si Yans contest result. Although second wangye and others tried to say An Si Yans talent was better, many eyes were looking. There was even the capitals gifted schr Jing Wu Ans personal praise. What made second wangye couldnt figure out was that even fourth wangye and Ming wang all inserted themselves into the discussion. So, he can only report as it was.
An manors An young miss and Lan manors third young misss talent contest, Lan third young miss won! Second wangye said dully.
Truly deserved! Nianer meimeis poem, even this heir does not dare to say he can surpass! Jing Wu An praised to Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang.
Mo Xian, what do you think Nianer meimei has gone through all these years? How could she be so smart? Nianer meimeis indifference makes peoples heart ache for her, this... He Chu Yang did not evade Jing Wu An as he directlymented to Lan Mo Xian
I dont know either. Nianer meimei never speaks of the past, but it cant have been any good. Otherwise, how can a girl of the boudoir need to go on stage at Zhen Wei Pavilion? Lan Mo Xian also wanted to know, but he simply cannot find anything out about Lan You Nians past.
The past is in the past, why must you torment yourself with the past? In the future you two good older brothers only need to treat Nianer meimei well, isnt that good enough? No, theres still this brother, I! Jing Wu An grinned. If it werent for the fact that Lan You Nian was a girl, he would definitely drink a few cups with Lan You Nian as they discuss life. Such a woman was rare to find.
How is Lan third young miss going to punish Si Yan? The Empress sitting up top spoke, but the partiality towards An Si Yan was easy to hear from her words. After all, An Si Yan was the Empresss own niece.
This...thisdy cant think of anything. How about let everyone think up one? Lan You Nian kicked this troublesome ball out of her court. After all, under such circumstances, if An Si Yan won, punishing her (LYN) was easy, but if she turned it around to make things difficult for An Si Yan, it wasnt favorable for her (LYN). Since it was so, let others deal with it!
Since Nianer meimei cant think of it, how about allow this junzhu say it? Hua Mu Qing seeing the eldest princess was ready to speak, she hurried to block her. This An Si Yan actually dared to bully Nianer meimei, she Hua Mu Qing was not afraid.
This... second wangye was ready to intervene.
This wangye feels junzhu makes the decision is a good idea. Does anyone else have a different opinion? Feng Xia Qi stood up, obviously helping Hua Mu Qing. In fact, everyone wanted to help Lan You Nian vent. Besides, Feng Xia Qi was afraid if he didnt help Lan You Nian vent, this younger brother of his will directly strike out.
Everyone agreed, and Hua Mu Qing smirked smugly at An Si Ya, How about punish An eldest miss by practicing some dog yelps!
Mu Qing junzhu, you go too far! An Si Yan shouted at Hua Mu Qing in a fury.
How is this junzhu going too far? The one who wanted topete was you, the one who lost is you. If you cant afford to y, then dont y. An eldest miss is going back on your own words! Hua Mu Qing attacked back. She Hua Mu Qing was not without a brain and scheme. She simply did not use it against her own friends.
You... An Si Yan wanted to refute but couldnt deny anything. The empress sitting above did not speak for An Si Yan again.
This young master also feels junzhus proposal is pretty good. Its just making a few dog barks, there is nothing making things difficult for An eldest miss! Lan Mo Xian also spoke. His little sister cant be bullied just by anyone.
An Si Yan wanted to deny it but second wangye sinisterly stared at An Yi Yan. That look made An Yi Yan aware she must ept the punishment. If she refused, then it was not keeping her word, it lost her own face, and also lost Prime Minister Manors face.
Woof! Woof woof! An Si Yan made dog sounds as her neck flushed red, causing everyone tough out loud. An Si Yan burst into tears and ran out of the garden. It seemed her self-esteem has taken a hit.
Follow and watch her! Empress ordered the pce maid standing beside her to go chase after An Si Yan. Her eyes drifted to Lan You Nian and Hua Mu Qing.
Hahaha! Nianer meimei, sister I helped you vent, do you feel better? Hua Mu Qing grinned from ear to ear.
Mu Qing jiejie really can think of ideas, but, in the future, dont randomly offend people. This womans capability of bearing a grudge is really frightening!
I know, but I just dont like her. Besides, bully my little sister, of course I must take revenge!
Lan You Nian smiled slightly but didnt speak. Having such a friend who she can rely on, it was really nice.

Perhaps because todays scheme fell through, the Empress left much earlier, allowing second wangye to entertain the young masters anddies as they continued to appreciate the chrysanthemums.
Without the Empress repressing the scene, many young masters anddies grouped together sets of twos and threes in the vast garden to admire the chrysanthemums. There were even some who went to other parts of Kun Ning Pce that were allowed to be toured to admire the scenery. After all, the Kun Ning Pce where the Empress lived was magnificent and luxurious.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, Lan Mo Xian, He Chu Yang, Lan You Nian, and Hua Mu Qing, the seven of them, have gathered together, found a clean ce to sit, had the pce maids serve some cakes and tea, then casually chatted amongst themselves to pass the boredom.
Nianer meimei, you are really a treasure. You can even create poems on the spot, truly stunning! Feng Xia Qi praised with glittering eyes.
Feng Yi Xuan frowned in dissatisfaction, then stated with pride, Of course Nian Nian is a treasure!
Everyone felt there was something wrong. They all called Lan You Nian Nianer meimei. Although this kind of nickname was informal, it didnt overstep etiquette. However, Feng Yi Xuans nickname was too intimate, as if it was a pet name between husband and wife. Everyone observed Feng Yi Xuans personality of I-do-what-I-want and Lan You Nians ignorant and naive age, and they gradually lowered their suspicions.
Although Lan You Nians disposition was excellent and likable, with her bodys age at the fore, who will like a girl who has not yet fully developed? Perhaps only Feng Yi Xuan will be so unique that after one nce, he refused to budge. This kind of person either his heart does not stir, or once his heart is stirred, then it was a lifelong obsession.
Nianer meimei, what else cant you do? Hua Mu Qing asked curiously. In Hua Mu Qings heart, her sister was indeed a genius.
There are many things I cant do, so many Im unable to count. Mu Qing jiejie has a much too perfect image of Nianer, Lan You Nian said helplessly.
At this time, a pce maid interrupted the lively atmosphere with her arrival. After entering, the pce maid properly greeted everyone, then to Lan You Nian, Third Miss Lan!
Lan You Nian was puzzled as was everyone else, but they did not outwardly show it. Lan You Nian asked, What is it?
Third Miss Lan, this ve is eldest princesss maidservant. The eldest princess is quite appreciative of the poem that Lan third miss made, so specifically has this vee over to invite Lan third young miss, hoping Lan third young miss will go over for a chat! the pce maid said with her head lowered, her protocol satisfactory.
Everyone disapproved of Lan You Nian going. The eldest princess was the Empresss daughter. Today, Empress was not able to punish Lan You Nian, but there was no guarantee that there was no backup n. In public, the Empress and others wont overdo it, but if Lan You Nian went alone, it was too dangerous with too many variables.
Thisdy was only identally lucky and let the eldest princess see a joke. Thisdy better not go make a fool of myself! Lan You Nian refused.
Third Miss Lan does not need to be modest. Third Miss Lans talent and learning are obvious to everyone. Eldest princess has already been waiting for a long time. Hope Third Miss Lan does not make things difficult for this ve, the pce maid still had her head bowed.
Lan You Nian studied the pce maids attitude and knew she must go today. After all, a princess was summoning her-a daughter of a general is not capable of refuting. Besides, the more they wanted to her to go, then it meant there will be traps waiting for her.
Just as Feng Yi Xuan was ready to have the pce maid scram, Lan You Nians hand reached over and patted him from under the table. This made him swallow back his words that intended to chase the person off. His entire body was gushing with pink bubbles (idiom: as we call it, seeing floating hearts) because his Nian Nian patted his hand on his thigh. This was the first time Nian Nian approached him, Feng Yi Xuan was determined to remember it in his heart.
Third Miss Lan? The ce where Eldest princess is located isnt far away. Its just at the small pavilion in the middle of theke, the pce maid told Lan You Nian where the eldest princess was at. Lan You Nian and the others nced over. It really wasnt far. From here one could distinctly see the eldest princess sitting in the pavilion. Due to the eldest princesss identity, many people subtly paid attention to the eldest princesss pavilion. Lan Mo Xian and others felt that the eldest princess probably wouldnt dare to directly do anything to Lan You Nian.
You guys chat. I will follow the maid and be back in a sh, Lan You Nian reassured the others. Once done, just as she was ready to leave, from under the table, her hand was gripped by Feng Yi Xuan. Lan You Nian was stunned. She didnt know what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do.
Lan You Nian maintained herposure as she struggled to snatch away her small hand, but Feng Yi Xuans calloused fingers traced two words on Lan You Nians palm Be careful!. After Feng Yi Xuan finished writing, he tightly gripped onto Lan You Nians small hand. He seemed to be very worried.
Lan You Nians face revealed nothing strange of any sort as she stood up, but her heart seemed to have been simrly caressed by that calloused finger leaving it with anguid and numb feeling.
Lan You Nian followed the pce maid to the small pavilion at theke, while the people who were left behind nervously stared at Lan You Nians back. Feng Yi Xuan clenched his fists. This way he could make himself feel less impulsive, preventing himself from pulling the girl into his arms and not allowing anyone to have the chance to hurt her.
After bringing Lan You Nian to the small pavilion, the pce maid withdrew. Lan You Nian studied the eldest princess who also stood to look at her. The eldest princess wore a light green dress with faint blue peonies embroidered on the sleeves. Silver thread was shaped into a few auspicious clouds with the hem of the dress is covered with a row of sea-water wave patterns. On her chest was a wide light-yellow brocade bodice. As the body gently shifted, the long skirt scattered. Her movement was graceful like the wind caressing the willow, but the grace carried with it the majesty of an imperial princess.
Lan You Nian stepped forward, slightly bent over and gave a curtsy, Eldest princess!
Eldest princess did not allow Lan You Nian to rise, but Lan You Nian had already straightened her posture. The action was as smooth as clouds and water. It made the eldest princess fall into a stupor, this type of etiquette was even more disciplined and elegant than her-the real princess.
Did this princess allow you to rise? the eldest princesss voice filled with dignity as it drifted towards Lan You Nian, but due to her experience, orck of it thereof, she was not able to overwhelm anyone. Even if the one standing here today were the Emperor himself, Lan You Nian would not be shaken up.
Why has the eldest princess called thisdy over? Lan You Nian stood on the edge of the pavilion, her expression neither overbearing or servile as she fixed her eyes on the eldest princess. Her sharp eyes were full of hostility, making the eldest princess noticeably cower, but recalling Empress Mothers instruction, the eldest princess once again put on the airs of a princess.
How dare you! Eldest princess snapped at Lan You Nian as she stood, standing together with Lan You Nian at the small pavilions edge.
Barely noticeable, Lan You Nian raised her eyes. Scanning around the small pavilion on theke, she can see the attention of the young masters anddies on the shore were all fixated here. Perhaps it was because of the eldest princess, maybe it was because of her, but what cant be denied is that she and eldest princess have truly be the center of attention of others. If at this moment something happened...
How dare I? Dont know why the eldest princess says this? Lan You Nian faced the eldest princess. The eldest princess can see the smile in Lan You Nians apathetic eyes, but that smile didnt reach her eyes.
You...Lan You Nian, you are bold! the eldest princess growled. Perhaps because no one ever dared to be so arrogant in front of her, the eldest princess couldnt even say anything to retort. Indeed, a princess raised in the imperial family, Lan You Nian thought. If the one standing here today were the second princess or third princess, they definitely wouldnt be like this. This eldest princess was too well-protected by the Empress.
Bold? Is thisdy boldness greater than the princesss boldness? Lan You Nian took one more step closer to the eldest princess, What does princess want to do now that youve invited thisdy here?
Eldest princess stared at Lan You Nian in horror. She didnt expect that the girl who stood shorter than her was actually so astute that she already could tell she wanted to harm her.
What are you talking about? This princess doesnt understand! I warn you, if youmit the crime of offending your superiors, this princess will have your entire n ughtered! the eldest princess said emboldened, clearly wanting to provoke Lan You Nian, but will Lan You Nian be fooled?
Eldest princess is really quite impressive. Even without any evidence, you can kill Feng nations great and noble generals entire n. Dont know if this matter was known by the Emperor, what is the eldest princesss fate? Will it be a conviction? Or maybe youll be sent away as a peace marriage (arranged marriage between two nations to attain peace)? Or... Lan You Nian shuffled closer as she whispered in the eldest princesss ear.
No, that wont happen, that wont happen! eldest princess anxiously refuted, as if telling herself not to be afraid.
Really wont happen? Do you want thisdy to try? As soon as Lan You Nian finished speaking, she seemed ready to leave to go tattletale to the Emperor. The Eldest princess panicked. She didnt expect that her unintentional words allowed Lan You Nian to have a hold over her. If Emperor Father knew, Emperor Father would definitely punish her, no, she cant let her go!
Seeing Lan You Nian prepared to turn away, the eldest princess was swallowed by panic. She went to grab onto Lan You Nian to prevent her from going to Emperor Father toin, but she didnt expect that when her hand touched Lan You Nian, Lan You Nian fell from the pavilions edge, falling into theke.
The eldest princess was stunned. She didnt know what happened. She only wanted to grab her, to prevent her from leaving but didnt expect that the girl in front of her actually fell into theke. What the eldest princess didnt know was that for the people on the shore, it was the eldest princess who pushed Lan You Nian and caused Lan You Nian to fall into theke.
Lan You Nian smiled, holding her breath as she fell into theke. Through the clear water of theke, she could see the eldest princesss flustered and bewildered expression. She sneered. In reality, the eldest princess had deliberately provoked her, then intended to have her push the eldest princess into theke. With so many witnesses on the shore, though no one heard anything they said, they could only see her push the eldest princess into theke. Although she was the generals daughter, if she offended her superior and hurt the princess, then her fate, even if it wasnt death, it will be peeling ayer of skin off her. The Empresss faction really came up with a great idea.
But the eldest princesss schemes were either too poor or that Lan You Nian was too smart. When Lan you Nian realized eldest princesss intentions, she turned it around and made the other have a taste of their own medicine. She deliberately found problems with the eldest princesss words to threaten and intimidate the eldest princess, then from the corner of her eyes, noticing when the eldest princess touched her, she deliberately pretended to be pushed into theke. This way, although it cant do anything to the eldest princess, from now on, the eldest princesss future wont be easy to walk, because she(LYN) had a father who wanted to repay her and a protective maternal grandfather.
A figure sank into the coldke. A huge ssh of water made Lan You Nian aware that someone came to save her, however, Lan You Nian didnt expect the person to move so fast. She just fell, and now this person already jumped in after her. Through the ripples in the water, Lan You Nian saw the person. It was Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan You Nian could clearly see the Feng Yi Xuans dour face, the dissatisfaction, and anxiety in the eyebrows, and the worry in the eyes searching for her. When theynded on her, those eyes shed with substantial hostility.
After Lan You Nian left, Feng Yi Xuan did not allow You Nian to leave his line of sight. He watched as Lan You Nian entered the pavilion in the heart of theke, saw Lan You Nian curtsy, saw Lan You Nian and the eldest princess say who knows what, saw the eldest princess enraged, and saw how Lan You Nians face wore a smile. In the end, he saw Lan You Nian fall into theke. Others may not see clearly, but he saw clearly. The eldest princess did not push her, it was she who jumped on her own. With her skill, how can the eldest princess push her into theke?
Feng Yi Xuan was angry just because of this. His Nian Nian can scheme against others, she can y however she wants to, but she was not allowed to use her own physical safety as a bargaining chip. He would rather she directly killed the eldest princess, and he will help her clean up: he didnt want to see her small figure fall into theke. That kind of feeling was as if someone squeezed his heart, making his entire person filled with fear and worry. He couldnt see anything. He used qinggong to promptly jump into theke. Seeing the girl who was seductive like a water demon in the water, with her eyes looking straight at him, Feng Yi Xuan didnt know how to vent his anger.
Feng Yi Xuans posture was like an arrow that left the bowstring. He quickly swam to Lan You Nians side and scanned the girl who blinking her eyes at him. Obviously, nothing happened at all, otherwise, have you seen someones veil is still securely covering their face after falling into water?
Stretching out his long arms and dragged Lan You Nian into his arms, he swam to the surface with Lan You Nian, but the cold aura around him only increased further. In the past, whenever he was with Lan You Nian, he deliberately dissipated his cold aura, but now he released it without reservation. Lan You Nian was a bit overwhelmed. She didnt understand whats going on with the man who was holding her.
When Feng Yi Xuan flew out of the water with Lan You Nian,nding on the pavilion in the center of theke, Lan Mo Xian and others finally sighed in relief and snapped orders at the pce maids to hurry to ask for an imperial physician.
Lan Mo Xian took off his cloak and handed it to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan wrapped up Lan You Nian who was hiding under his cloak in the dry one and tightly encased her in it, not allowing others to sneak a peek. Even now, he still remembers how the girl was like a water demon in theke, mind-blowingly seductive.
No, it has nothing to do with this princess. She jumped on her own! the eldest princess seeing how the people around her looked at her with ming dissatisfied eyes, she hastily exined.
But Feng Yi Xuan with just one throw of his palm caused the eldest princess to fall into theke. Although he knew Nian Nian deliberately fell into theke herself, but if it wasnt for the eldest princess, how could Nian Nian do something that hurts herself. So Feng Yi Xuan at this moment vented his anger on the eldest princess.
The surrounding guards were prepared to jump in to save the princess, but Feng Yi Xuans nced coldly at them. Just this one nce made the guards all frozen in ce, not daring to move. In the end, it was second wangye who rushed over and snarled at the guards, What are you doing!? Hurry save the princess! If anything happens to the princess, watch your heads!
Because of the long dy, the eldest princess was already unconscious after being saved, and because no one was as considerate as Feng Yi Xuan, with the eldest princess wearing so thin, her curves were revealed. This caused the surrounding crowd of young masters to have nose bleeds.
After having the eldest princess taken away to be healed, second wangye reprimand Feng Yi Xuan, Sixth brother, shouldnt you exin?
But Feng Yi Xuan didnt reply with an answer. He merely left holding onto Lan You Nian. At this moment he felt anxious in his heart, because the girl in his arms, due to theke water, her body became cold. Using his qinggong, Feng Yi Xuan flew to You Nian Pavilion. Meanwhile, Feng Xia Qi stayed behind to deal with the remaining problems.

Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian. Originally he nned to head to You Nian Pavilion but observing the girls wet clothes and already pale lips, Feng Yi Xuan directly took Lan You Nian to Ming wangfu. Because he was using qinggong to enter Ming wangfu, only An Yi and others were aware.
Lan Ren followed Lan You Nian and enter the imperial pce but could not enter Kunning Pce. In fact, an ordinary shadow guard couldnt even enter the imperial pce itself. Lan Ren could only wait outside Kunning Pce for his familys young miss. However, he didnt expect for Ming wang to hastilye out holding young miss whose current condition he cant discern. Lan Ren followed in hot pursuit, but his martial artspare to Feng Yi Xuans. Naturally, he fell behind a great distance. Just when Lan Rens anxiety has reached its extreme, he glimpsed young miss making a hand gesture while being held by Feng Yi Xuan. That gesture meant she was okay. Lan Rens heart finally calmed.
When Feng Yi Xuan entered Ming wangfu, Lan Ren was intercepted. An Yi and the others knew Lan Ren was Lan You Nians shadow guard, so did not make things difficult.
Where are you taking me? Lan You Nian revealed a small head from within Feng Yi Xuans arms, noting this was not Lan manor but was Ming wangfu, she asked baffled.
Feng Yi Xuans thin lips were pursed tightly simr to a temperamental child. He didnt answer Lan You Nian like he usually did, nor did he devote his attention to Lan You Nian like usual. Without a word, he carried Lan You Nian into his own room.
Lan You Nian didnt get to study this luxurious yet simple room in more detail before she was thrown onto the bed by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans bed wasnt soft, so Lan You Nian felt pain from the toss. Raising her head ready to say something but marking Feng Yi Xuans eyes that were like a wolf filled with anger, Lan You Nians intuition knew this wasnt good so got ready to sit up and leave.
But would Feng Yi Xuan give her this chance? Of course not! When Lan You Nian was ready to get up, Feng Yi Xuan moved. He directly picked up Lan You Nian, turned her over so her back was facing him while her stomach was pressed against Feng Yi Xuans long, muscr thigh. Lan You Nian felt this position was not proper. She anxiously circted her inner force to break free, but her internal force was actually suppressed by the internal energy of Feng Yi Xuan. With her internal force subdued, Lan You Nians current body being restrained was unable to escape. The difference between male and females strength made Lan You Nian unable to move.
Feng Yi Xuan, what do you want to do! For the first time, Lan You Nian felt flustered and angry. Such a Feng Yi Xuan made her a little scared. Currently, she was facing the bed, so she cant see Feng Yi Xuans facial expression, nor did she hear Feng Yi Xuans response.
Feng Yi Xuan threw away the soaked cloak on Lan You Nians body, then raising his broad palm, ttened it on Lan You Nians butt.
~p~!
Feng Yi Xuans palm smacked Lan You Nians bottom as if hitting a child. He was furious. Looking at the girls wet and pitiful appearance, he felt heartache. Carrying Nian Nian back, feeling the coolness of Nian Nians body, he felt pained. He knew Nian Nians body wasnt well already, yet this girl deliberately wrecked her body, how can he not be angry? However, he couldnt treat her harshly like he treated others, so before Feng Yi Xuan even realized what he was doing, he spanked Lan You Nians bottom.
The pain and sound from her buttocks made Lan You Nians whole body stiffen. She had never been spanked before, not when she was little or after she grew up. She has suffered various injuries, but no one had ever dared to spank her like a child. Lan You Nian didnt know what she should do. Whether it was the pain in her butt that made Lan You Nian vexed or the loss of face, at this moment, Lan You Nian felt a rage shes never felt before.
Feng Yi Xuan, after hitting Lan You Nian, was also stunned. Although he didnt use any force behind the hit, looking at Lan You Nian, seemingly weightless, sprawled on his, he panicked.
Lan You Nian took advantage of when Feng Yi Xuan was inattentive, suddenly rolled over, took out her personal dagger and plunged it towards Feng Yi Xuans chest. If this knife really plunged into Feng Yi Xuans chest even if Feng Yi Xuan doesnt die, he will be severely injured. Feng Yi Xuan had the opportunity to block it, but he didnt. He knew his actions made Lan You Nian angry, so if it can dete Lan You Nians anger, she can do whatever she liked to him.
When Lan You Nians dagger was about to plunge into Feng Yi Xuans chest, Lan You Nian realized this man did not dodge or evade. Lan You Nian lifted her eyes, peering at Feng Yi Xuan. It was just one look that made Lan You Nians dagger unable to advance any further.
Because when Lan you Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan, there was not a trace of panic on Feng Yi Xuans face. Instead, there was a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness, a faint smile like the rain and snow that has finally melted with the sun breaking through the thick clouds opening up the sky scattering unimaginable warmth.
Perhaps because of Feng Yi Xuans smile or perhaps because Lan You Nian was greedy for this warmth, Lan You Nian put away the dagger in her hand, and murmured, Why? Why hit me? Why didnt you dodge? Why can you still smile knowing you will get hurt?
Although Lan You Nian only said one word, Feng Yi Xuan understood what Lan You Nian wanted to say. Seemingly a man with very few words yet at this moment with an out of the ordinary warm attitude, he answered to the girl sitting on his thigh, You wrecking your own body makes me angry, but I did hit you. So if you makes you feel better, do whatever you want, even if it is killing me!
Staring into Feng Yi Xuans earnest and scorching eyes, hearing those words that did not contain the slightest pretense, just moments ago, Lan You Nian was angered to the point she wanted to kill someone, but now the anger has subsided. Closing her eyes, Lan You Nian lowered her head, avoiding those pair of bewitching eyes. Only then did she realize their intimate sitting position. She was sitting on Feng Yi Xuans thigh; the twos clothes were all soaked, but they could feel each others warmth.
Lan You Nian struggled to get onto the floor, but Feng Yi Xuan directly brought Lan You Nian to the bed. Pulling out arge silk nket, he wrapped Lan You Nian up in the nket only revealing a small head. Because the face was covered by a veil, Feng Yi Xuan can only see those pair of pure and clear eyes.
Wait a moment! Feng Yi Xuan left the room to give An Yi who stood outside the door some orders. Within moments, An Yi and An Er carried buckets of warm water into the room. The twos eyes darted around wanting to take a peek at Lan You Nian who sat on the bed but did not have the guts so, in the end, they gloomily left.
Feng Yi Xuan added the buckets of water into the tub behind the folding screen. Usually, when he takes a bath, he wont do this work, but now for the girl in his heart, he did it naturally without any trace of being unustomed.
Picking up Lan You Nian, nkets and all, and entered behind the folding screen, he gently ced Lan You Nian down. Lan You Nian scanned the tub and instantly knew what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do. Seeing her clothes were soaked through, he must want her to take a warm bath. This man was so considerate.
Feng Yi Xuan after putting Lan You Nian down opened a wardrobe in the room. Lan You Nian only saw that half of the wardrobe was filled with mainly dark-colored mens robes, while the other half was all womens white dresses of all kinds of workmanship and texture. Lan You Nian was stunned. She didnt think Ming wang who was known to be not into women, his room actually contained womens clothes. She felt ufortable in her heart, but it was overlooked by Lan You Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan took out a simple white dress and draped it on the soft couch by the tub. Lan You Nian spied the edges of the dress were embroidered with red spider lily like every one of her clothes. Lan You Nian nced at Feng Yi Xuan baffled.
Uh... Feng Yi Xuan said with red ears, These are all prepared for you, but they cant glow at night like your clothes! Speaking of this, Feng Yi Xuan was dispirited. Although he had many businesses under him, many embroideresses were able to embroider the spider lily but couldnt make the flower glow at night. For this reason, Feng Yi Xuan even killed a few embroideresses who wanted to leak out the designs of this flower.
Lan you Nians heart warmed. She didnt expect that all these womens dresses were all prepared for her. Not only that, Feng Yi Xuan even found people to embroider her favorite spider lily onto them. However, Lan You Nian still was still suspicious, Why prepare my clothes?
Last time I went to You Nian Pavilion to get clothes, aftering back I had it prepared, Feng Yi Xuan honestly exined, but didnt answer Lan You Nians question. He just wanted to let his barren room have Nian Nians shadow. Besides, he always believed that he will marry Nian Nian into the manor in the future, so...
Lan You Nian remained silent, but the meaning was obvious; she was insisting on Feng Yi Xuan answering her question. Although she was moved by Feng Yi Xuans considerate preparation, this somewhat baffling preparation of a womans clothes, no matter how you thought of it, it was wrong.
Uh...afraid next time you wont have clothes, so had it prepared! Feng Yi Xuan admitted embarrassed. He was really afraid Lan You Nian will be the same asst time that if she needed to change clothes, he still needed to go to You Nian Pavilion to get it. It was better instead to make some and have it at his own ce.
Lan You Nian nodded, didnt pursue the topic further, Why arent you leaving yet?
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly remembered Nian Nian was going to take a bath, but he was still standing here. Instantly his face reddened. He quickly left the room. Just like this, wearing thoroughly drenched clothes, he stood outside the door calming his restless thoughts.
Lan You Nian peeled off the drenched clothes, removed the veil and immersed herself in the warm water of the tub to dispel the cold from her body. Thinking about all the things that happened today, the clearest thing in her mind was Feng Yi Xuan. She remembered his anxiety and tenderness; Feng Yi Xuan upied a lot of the space in her mind.
Master, we will stand guard here. You can go change clothes! An Yi said. In fact, an average person was not able to enter Ming wangfu. Miss Lan was only taking a bath, yet master actually stood guard like this. In the past, masters mysophobia was very serious. Usually, once the clothes were worn, they will be burnt, yet now wearing drenched garments, there was no trace of displeasure. It was indeed a miracle.
Lan You Nian hurriedly took a bath and changed clothes. After putting on the exquisite silk dress, Lan You Nian noticed the size of the clothing fit her perfectly just like the clothes in her own closet.
When Lan You Nian finished bathing and opened the door, she saw Feng Yi Xuan still wearing the wet clothes standing there. Seeing here out, he asked with concern, Is there any difort? Then to An Yi, he ordered, Go let the kitchen make a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold!
Lan You Nian frowned, Why didnt you change clothes? You should go take a bath!
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, very happy about Lan You Nians concern then directly entered the room. Lan You Nian followed behind. Then Lan You Nian realized Feng Yi Xuan went straight behind the folding screen and began to undress. Lan You Nian quickly withdrew her gaze and lowed her head, but what shocked her was that she actually heard the sound of Feng Yi Xuan bathing. The critical point was that he was using the water she used to bathe with ah!
Feng Yi Xuan bathed quickly. Lan You Nians face swelled with redness ready to say something, but Feng Yi Xuan already got dressed. Those eyes, sharp as a knife but passionate like water, that nose, sharp like a razor, that corner of the mouth, slightly curled like the moon, but also like fire. No matter how good Feng Yi Xuans looks were, they cannot make Lan You Nian absentminded, because this man actually used the water she took a bath in for his own bath. Is there anything more horrifying than this?
You... Lan You Nian stretched out her slender finger pointed at Feng Yi Xuan, How can you use that water? I used that water for my bath!
I dont mind! Feng Yi Xuans thin lips slightly curled upwards. He didnt know why, evidently, he had severe mysophobia, but he directly used Nian Nians bath water to wash. He didnt feel a bit disgusted instead felt rather happy because the water possessed the sweet fragrance of Nian Nians body.
I mind! Lan You Nian felt her own good temper was useless against Feng Yi Xuan. This Feng Yi Xuan was her own bane!
But I already washed! Feng Yi Xuan was acting shamelessly like a child with Lan You Nian, but his appearance of all too serious shamelessness made Lan You Nian unable to get angry.
Chapter 81
81 The Eldest Princess is Punished
April 29, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian had Lan Ren return to Lan manor with a message, telling her older brother and the others that she was fine and asked them not to worry too much. When she has taken care of her business, she will return. Although Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian and the others were worried about what Lan You Nian was doing there, they knew that Lan You Nian had her own secrets. Secrets such as where was she the five years she went missing, what kind of people did she meet, what troubles has she encountered, but Lan You Nian did not talk about her past nor were they in any kind of position to ask about it. Now, they can only do their best to protect Lan You Nian.
Mo Xian, what happened today? How did Nianer fall into the water? Lan Jian Jun received the news of his daughter falling into theke in the pce while he was in the military camp. He promptly dropped all military matters on his hands and hurried back to the manor, but instead of seeing his daughter, he only saw his soning back alone.
Father must know there is something fishy about this pce banquet. Nianer meimei was pushed by the eldest princess into theke! Lan Mo Xian fumed. Truth be told, he was aware of the many questionable points deserving of suspicion, but no matter what his little sister wanted to do, he will support her.
What! Pushed by someone into theke! Lan Jian Jun exploded into fury. Although he was only a general, his daughter cannot be bullied for no reason at all, I will go to the pce now to see his Majesty and have the Emperor give this general an exnation! Even if its the princess, she still cannot bully Nianer like this!
Father, son will go with you! Lan Mo Xian also cannot swallow his rage. It was apparent that the Empresss faction wanted to discipline his little sister today. Since they did this so ringly obvious, their Lan manor were not pushovers who allowed people to audaciously bully them.
No, Mo Xian you cant go. If both us of us go, the Emperor will think that our Lan manor is defying imperial power. But if father goes, it is only asking justice on behalf of my daughter. This way the Emperor can punish the eldest princess harshly! Although he was in the military camps all year round, Lan Jian Jun still understood how the matters of the court worked. The Emperor was most suspicious. If their Lan manor was too aggressive, then there was no need for An manor to suppress them, for the Emperor will suppress Lan manor in the future.
Son understands. Father be careful! Lan Mo Xian gave his respects then watched as Lan Jian Jun rode away from Lan manor. The current father was truly loving towards little sister, otherwise based on fathers loyalty, how could he act like this? He didnt know if Nianer meimei will forgive father in the future?
When Lan Jian Jun arrived at the imperial pce to have Emperors personal eunuch Lu announce him, he noticed that in the imperial study there stood Royal Tutor He, fourth wangye Feng Xia Qi, and heir Jing Wu An. Everyone came for the same purpose; it was to ask for justice for Lan You Nian. However, what was most surprising for Lan Jian Jun was Tutor Hes presence. After all, Tutor He was the tutor of several dynasties. He usually didnt concern himself about these things. Besides, Tutor He was overly pedantic. If the one who was bullied today was He Chu Yang, then Tutor He will not only not demand justice for his grandson instead he will make his grandson plead guilty.
My lords, Emperor admits you in! Eunuch Lu smiled, letting them walk into the imperial study.
Emperor Feng Xuan was clothed in golden dragon robes as he sat in the Imperial study reviewing memorials. Seeing so many officials all at once he couldnt help feeling strange. The Emperor did not receive news of what happened in the pce banquet since this matter was suppressed by the Empress for she did not allow it to pass into Emperors ears.
Teacher, why are you here? Emperor put down the memorial in his hand. To Tutor He who was giving a formal bow he raised him up with a gesture. The Emperor still respected this teacher very much, so although Tutor He did not have any real power in the court, everyone still praises him.
Emperor! Tutor He suddenly fell to the ground, shocking the Emperor who couldnt understand why this reserved teacher of his was acting like this.
Teacher, whats the meaning of this? Please get up! Lu Zi, help teacher up! Emperor had Eunuch Lu who served close to him help Tutor He up from the floor.
This old official came here today for the sake of my granddaughter. I hope Your Majesty will give justice to this old officials granddaughter! Tutor He bent over pleading. He only had this one granddaughter who he has been searching for many years, has suffered so much bitterness, and has finally been returned to him. Yet she hasnt returned for a decent number of days before she has encountered such a thing, how can he not care!
Teachers granddaughter? Isnt that dear Official Lans daughter? What happened? the Emperor asked bewildered. About the matter of Tutor He finding his granddaughter, the Emperor was aware of it but didnt think that this one girl not only rmed Tutor He and the general but even a wangye and the heir. This made Emperor curious about the girl who could achieve this.
Today the Empress put together a chrysanthemum banquet. This officials daughter was invited, but I didnt expect the eldest princess to push my daughter into theke. My daughter almost.... Lan Jian Jun fell to the ground, the typically unyielding man was genuinely distraught.
Oh? Such a thing urred? Emperors voice was displeased. The main reason for his displeasure was because he did not receive any news of such a thing happening in the pce. It seems the Empresss hand has even reached into the imperial pce. The Emperor was well aware that this matter was rted to the faction struggles.
Xia Qi and Wu An, you are here for this matter too? the Emperor looked between two, one was his son, and the other was the official he favored.
Answering Imperial Father, Lan manors third young miss Lan You Nian is modest and polite. Everyone saw her being pushed by eldest imperial sister into theke. If she wasnt saved in time, Im afraid...so erchen came to ask Imperial Father to give Lan manor justice! Feng Xia Qi knelt on the ground.
Emperor studied the son who knelt on the ground, his heart filled with conflicting emotions. In the imperial family, familial love was tenuous. He did not have any feelings for his own biological children. Amongst his many children, he only liked Xia Qi and Yi Xuan. The former Empress was the only woman he loved in this life, unfortunately...now, whether it is on the surface or in their hearts, these two children resented him, their Imperial Father. He wanted topensate them but had no way to pay back anything, especially to his sixth son Feng Yi Xuan, he felt even more guilty...
Answering Your Majesty, Lan manors third young miss is a rare talented woman, so this official already recognized Lan manors third young miss as little sister earlier. However, I didnt expect for her to experience such misfortune after entering the pce for the first time. This official asks Your Majesty to give Nianer meimei justice! Jing Wu An also knelt on the ground, his voice contained a rarely heard earnestness.
Seeing such an earnest protective son and official, the Emperor felt even more curious about this Lan manors third young miss. Just what kind of child can make these people care so much about her?
Eunuch Lu, go escort eldest princess here! the Emperors stern voice passed down orders to Eunuch Lu. No matter what the end result of todays issue was, a princess making trouble for a girl from an officials family, really lost a princesss dignity.
When everyone heard Emperor used the word escort, they knew the Emperor will not let go of the eldest princess. Dont think that because the eldest princess was the Emperors daughter, she will be protected. Firstly, Emperor Feng Xuan was an upright ruler. Secondly, the Emperor was ruthless. In his heart, he only recognized Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan these two children. Even if you ask him to kill his children, the Emperor wont bat an eysh, much less punish them. This was the heartlessness of being a ruler.
After a while, Eunuch Lu returned, but he didnt bring the eldest princess. Instead, he brought the Empress An Qian Mei who waited outside the imperial study.
Eunuch Lu whats this? What about the person zhen asked you to bring? Emperor bellowed. The Emperors anger caused Eunuch Lu to fall to the ground on his knees.
Answering Your Majesty, when this ve went to ask for the eldest princess, only then did I know the eldest princess is lying down in bed still unconscious. The Empress heard Emperor wanted to see the eldest princess. She is now currently waiting outside the imperial study... Eunuch Lu answered. Because he has been with the Emperor for so many years, he was not overly fearful like other servants.
Oh? Unconscious? How did this happen? Emperor was even more annoyed.
Answering Imperial Father, when eldest princess pushed Lan manors third miss into theke, it was sixth brother who saved her. But the eldest princesss actions were truly infuriating, she even refused to admit to her deeds, so sixth brother tossed the eldest princess into theke! Feng Xia Qi confessed the truth. If Imperial father investigated this matter, hed know the truth, so it was better if he stated the truth right now. Otherwise, if the Empress came, it probably wouldnt be the case.
Yi Xuan? the Emperor was surprised. He didnt think even his sixth son was connected to this matter. This son of his has been umonly apathetic since he was little and often has an inconsistent temper. But this time he intervened in this matter, it seems.... Ai, even his own son was not fond of him, this emperor.
Let the Empresse in! Emperor waved his hand to let Eunuch Lu admit the Empress to pass.
Chenqie greets the Emperor! the Empress was dressed in the formal pce robes of an empress. She gave her respects, her gaze as gentle as water on the Emperor but the Emperors eyes did not contain any tenderness, as if the woman in front of him wasnt his woman but a stranger.
Rise! the Emperor let Empress rise, then asked, Why is the Empress here?
Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to give justice to chenqie. The eldest princess was thrown into theke by Ming wang. Even now she is unconscious. Ming wang shows such disregard to pce rules acting without any restraint. It is really impudent! Please ask Emperor to punish severely! Empress pled with red eyes. Not only was her daughters scheme not sessful and the scheme was even reversed on them, but she was also even thrown by that monster into theke, being tormented until she was extremely weak. If this anger were not vented, she would not be satisfied.
Severely punish! Empress, you have guts! Emperor suddenly roared, making the Empress fall to the ground in fear.
The Eldest princess harmed Lan manors young miss in the pce. Were these many years of reading books in vain? You dare to plead for the eldest princess? You-this Empress is so ridiculous. You really disappointing to zhen! Emperor looked coldly at Empress.
Emperor be appeased! Lan manors third young miss identally fell into the water. Even if it was Luoer who pushed her down, Ming wang still cannot hurt his older sister. If it was like this, will this pce still have any rules? the Empress kowtowed, but there was no give in her tone.
identally fell into the water? Empress really can reverse ck and white. Under the eyes of others, so many people all saw the eldest princess push the third young miss. And in sixth brothers hands is Imperial fathers own decree saying Ming wang can punish any person of misconduct. He can kill first then report! Feng Xia Qi countered righteously.
The Empress was suddenly afraid. That year, Ming wang who was only twelve used strategy to destroy Fengs biggest mountain thief gang, so the Emperor sent down a decree that from then on Ming wang can kill first then report. This was the first time in so many years that someone in Feng obtained such a great privilege.
But Luoer is Ming wangs imperial sister. How can he hurt Luoer? Empress still continued to defend her daughter.
Then eldest imperial sister openly hurting Lan manors third young miss is fine? When has Empress be unable to distinguish between right and wrong? If a prince vites thew, he must be punished like an ordinary person! Feng Xia Qi sneered. They will definitely end every single one of the Empresss faction. All these years, has what the Empress did to him and his imperial younger brother been little?
Fourth wangye.... The Empress was still ready to defend, but at this moment the Emperor roared, Enough, shut your mouth!
Because of the Emperors roar, no one didnt dare to utter a sound. The Emperor nced at his son, his official, his teacher, all standing there. He knew if he did injustice to this case, it would definitely chill the hearts of these people. And as to his sixth son, he still didnt know what his attitude was. If he didnt handle this well then to his sixth son Yi Xuan, he would be unable to exin himself. His biggest headache was this sixth son. This son was not only powerful but also unruly. There was no feeling towards this kingdom of Feng in his heart. If it wasnt for his fourth son, he knew for sure that Yi Xuan will not even protect this country at all.
Send down zhens decree. Eldest princess Feng Xiao Luocks in virtue. She is hereby punished by putting her under house arrest in the pce courtyard. She is not allowed toe out for a year. Deduct three years from her official sry! Emperor coldly dered. This decree not only dealt with the princess but also gave Tutor He and the others an exnation.
Emperor! the Empress was going to say something. If punished by house arrest of one year, what will happen to her daughter? Her daughter has reached marriageable age. If she lost imperial favor then how can she find a suitable prince consort? How can she find a good supporter for her son?
The Emperor waved his hand letting Eunuch Lu lead Empress out. After the Empress left, Tutor He and Lan Jian Jun paid formal respects, This official thanks the Emperor!
This matter is indeed the wrong of the eldest princess. Eunuch Lu tell the imperial hospital to send the new ginseng to Lan manor, also have the Directorate of Pce Seals (a pce eunuch agency in charge of the numerous imperial seals) send some treasures over! the Emperor instructed Eunuch Lu. This was not only to appease Tutor He and the others, but this was also due to his curiosity about that girl. A girl who can make these people care about her and can make the Empresss faction act against her was indeed very unique.
This official thanks Emperor on behalf of my daughter! Lan Jian Jun knelt on the ground.
Having dealt with Lan You Nians matters, the others left the Imperial Study only leaving Tutor He to y chess with the Emperor.
Chapter 82
82 Lan Zhis Hate
May 2, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Young miss, the eldest princess has been put under house arrest for a year, and her sry is fined for three years, Lan Qu reported to Lan You Nian who was lying in a daze on the soft couch.
It seems this time both Prime Minister An and Empresspletely lost face. In the future, Im afraid our days wont be peaceful! Lan Wu sat next to Lan You Nians couch, her hands continuing to pare fruits for her young miss.
The Empresss faction already had their eyes on Lan manor a long time ago, Lan You Nian said with closed eyes. Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian followed Feng Yi Xuan on the battlefield for so many years, in the Empresss factions eyes, they were already one of fourth wangyes people. Now that she schemed against An manors eldest legitimate son in An manor, and is also quite close to Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan, the Empress must consider Lan manor as a thorn in her eyes.
Young miss is supporting the fourth wangye? Lan Wu asked in confusion. After all with young misss identity, she did not like to participate in the battle between father and son of the imperial family, but now young miss seemed to have already joined in after what she did.
Although this person Feng Xia Qi is very cunning, his heart is honorable and a rare, outstanding ruler. Since I am Lan manors young miss, how can I not do something? If I let it be, not only will it harm older brother, it will probably even affect grandfathers family! Lan You Nian said indifferently. She was not greedy for power, but if someone dared to provoke her and the people she cared for, she would definitely unsettle the entire court.
Why doesnt young miss think it is Ming wang who wants to fight for the throne? Lan Wu asked in confusion. After all, in their eyes, Ming wang whether it is temperament or ability was better than fourth wangye and even has many military achievements. If Ming wang fought for the throne, it would be easier.
That kind of man looks down on that position. Others consider the throne to be a position of supreme power, but it is also a symbol of loneliness paid with the price of the loss of ones freedom! Lan You Nian smiled. That mans character will make sure he wont be the emperor. Although it was suitable, at the same time, it wasnt suitable. What was suitable was Feng Yi Xuans ability and means. What wasnt suitable was Feng Yi Xuans unrestrained temper and ruthlessness.
Young miss always sees farther than other people. In this world, how many people can be like young miss who can see so thoroughly? Lan Qu gazed with worship at her familys young miss.
Hehe, honestly this is really simple. People of the world are simply blinded by power and money! Lan You Nian didnt think much of it. Although she longed for her forces to be strong, she was not greedy for these. Only this way can she live with less stress.
Young miss, tomorrow is when eldest young master An brings Lan Zhi back! Lan Qu informed Lan You Nian of the news that Zhang Lin had found out.
Oh? Lan Zhi didnt die yet? Very tenacious indeed. Since this is the case... Lan You Nians voice drifted off, seemingly to have fallen asleep, but Lan Qu and Lan Wu knew young miss was not sleeping. She was only thinking.
This morning, Lan manor received An Ping news of bringing back Lan Zhi. As a matter of fact, for concubines, there was no such treatment, so An Pings actions made everyone think Lan Zhi was very favored by An Ping for him to do this but was it really so?
Although Lan Jian Jun was aware that today was the day that his second daughter will return home, but Lan Jian Jun still went to the military camps to handle military affairs as usual. He only left Lan MO Xian to stay behind to handle affairs. Their thought was that the people of An family havee to bully Lan You Nian again. Currently, Lan Jian Jun was very worried about Lan You Nian.
An manors carriage stopped outside the doors of Lan manor. Waiting in the doorway was An yiniang who was anxiously fixated on An manors carriage. Ever since her second daughter was carried into An manor, she tried to find a way to inquire after her. She wanted to see if her second daughter lived well. But An yiniang didnt expect that in her maiden home even she cannot find out about her daughters current situation. Because of not knowing, An yiniang was even more worried. Now that she has received news that her daughter wasing back, An yiniang breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Zhi wearing a pink ruqun helped An Ping down the carriage. Seeing that only her mother stood in Lan manors doorway, her heart was unbearably sour. The tears in her eyes spread, but An Pings threatening voice rang in Lan Zhis ears, Behave yourself. Give me a smile!
So many days of torture has made Lan Zhi afraid of An Ping. Hearing An Pings threat, Lan Zhis tears that were able to fall down were forced back in, then she revealed a gentle smile as if she has been living very happily.
At this moment, An Ping felt wronged inside. Ever since he knew there was a cure to his illness, An Ping tried many different ways to make Wu Qing Medical hall treat him, but Wu Qing Medical Hall not only ignored him, he could not shake Wu Qing Medical Hall. Atst, after tormenting Lan Zhi, he learned that it was An yiniang who begged medicine from Wu Qing Medical Hall, and used that medicine to cure Lan Zhi. At this time An Ping was at the point of desperation to bring Lan Zhi back to Lan manor to make An yiniang who was his aunt go ask Wu Qing Medical Hall for medicine.
Mother Lan Zhis voice carried traces of emotional excitement. Although the experience of thesest few days of torture made her aware that this mother of hers was not reliable but after seeing her mother, Lan Zhi couldnt help but want to cry.
Mother, An Ping courteously followed Lan Zhi in calling An yiniang. He now must depend on An yiniang to beg for medicine, so naturally, he was more well-behaved.
Good youvee back. Come, lets go in! An yiniang tugged Lan Zhis hands and walked into Lan manor. Entering therge reception hall, they noticed Lan Mo Xian sat at the very front, sitting below him was Lan You Nian, then it was Lan Yin and Lan Ya. After An Ping and the others entered, they greeted everyone and sat at the very bottom.
Lan You Nian observed Lan Zhi who just sat there without any of her previous arrogance. It has only ten or so days without seeing her, Lan Zhi already lost a lot of weight. That frail color of her face couldnt be hidden even with the use of the best rouge. Noticing the slight frown as Lan Zhi sat, Lan You Nian can be sure that there must be a lot of wounds on Lan Zhis body.
Eldest young master An, did youe here todaye to Lann manor to stay for a couple of days or are you going back today? Lan Mo Xian was straightforward, just because An Ping married Lan Zhi, it didnt change the rtionship between their two manors.
I apanied Lan Zhi back to her maiden home to take a look around, of course, it is to stay for a few days! What a joke! He had to get the medicine so how can he leave?
Lan Mo Xian disliked the people of An manor in their Lan manor so straightaway he opened his mouth to say something to make An Ping leave but didnt expect his little sister to shoot him a look. Lan Mo Xian instantly understood that little sister had her own ns, Since its like that, Uncle Lan, take them back to second sisters previous courtyard!
Done, Lan Mo Xian left with Lan You Nian with no intention of exchanging pleasantries causing An Ping to re resentfully at Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi knew that once they return, An Ping will definitely vent his anger on her. Her entire body was already carpeted with a variety of scars.
As soon as An yiniang brought An Ping and Lan Zhi to her courtyard, An Ping directly demanded, Please ask Mother to save Pinger!
An yiniang nced in confusion at her second daughter. She really couldnt understand what was going on. Lan Zhi saw her mothers confusion and exined, Mother, cousin-brother contracted the same illness as me. He went to Wu Qing Medical Hall but couldnt attain the medicine, so we came back to Lan manor to ask Mother to help us!
This... An yiniang hesitated. She still remembered when she obtained the medicine, Wu Qing Pavilions steward told her that the medicine she asked for was too rare; there was only this one time. If she came again, she would pay with her life. At first, she didnt overthink. She only wanted her daughter to marry into An manor so she would have a future. Thus she agreed. She didnt expect...
Aunt is unwilling? An Ping said sinisterly, already changed from mother to aunt. It can be seen that An Ping was already starting to get angry.
How can An yiniang not understand An Pings meaning? She did not conceal and told this matter to An Ping and Lan Zhi. However, she didnt expect that after exining, An Ping still did not dispel the idea, Aunt, Pingers only hope is now on Aunt. Is Aunt not willing to save Pinger?
Pinger, it isnt that Aunt is unwilling to save you, only that aunt cant do anything! Although An yiniang loved her daughter, although she came out from An manor, she cherished her life even more.
The group talked for a long time, but An yiniang did not agree to help An Ping seek medicine.
Slut! As soon as he returned to their room, An Ping gave Lan Zhi a p, Your mother actually just watches me have this disease yet is not willing to help me. If it wasnt for you people, how can I contract this disease? Speak! Speak! An Ping picked up the things on the table and threw them on Lan Zhis body. Lan Zhi did not dare to make a sound. She knew if this were discovered by others, she would end up even worse.
Cousin-brother, cousin-brother spare me! This really has nothing to do with me! Lan Zhiid on the ground as she pled with An Ping.
Has nothing to do with you? Ha! Let me tell you Lan Zhi, if I cant live a good life, then you wont be living well either! An Ping dragged Lan Zhi over and pressed her onto the dressing table. He patted her cheeks, Hurry and clean up. No matter what method you use, you must make your mother agree to ask medicine for me. As long as your mother asks the medicine for me, in the future, I will not torture you. I will even raise you to side-wife!
Madame, second miss is here! Qiuer said to An yiniang.
An yiniang looked at her eldest daughter and sighed, Let here in! No matter what, she was still a piece of meat that fell from her body. An yiniang still has some love.
Mother! As soon as Lan Zhi came in, she saw her mother and sister. But now she was no longer that Lan Zhi who would act spoiled with her mother and sister.
Zhier, whats your intention? An yiniang lifted up Lan Zhi, lovingly and helped wipe away Lan Zhis tears.
Mother, please help cousin-brother! Lan Zhi pleaded. As soon as An yiniang heard her daughter asks for this matter, she let go of her hand and ignored Lan Zhi.
Second sister why are you so muddle-headed? You want Mother to help cousin-brother? Do you know that will make Mother lose her life? Dont you know what kind of ce Wu Qing Pavilion is? Lan Ya hardened her face as she chastised Lan Zhi. Lan Zhi heard her own sister words that did not possess any feelings or any regard for the affection between sisters. It gave birth to hate instantly.
Muddle-headed? Haha, older sister talks about your younger sister like this? It really is once people leave, the tea gets cold. Little sister-I havent left yet! Lan Zhi sneered.
Zhier, how can you talk to your sister like this? An yiniang scolded. Currently, she has focused all of her attention on this eldest daughter and son.
Lan Zhi did not refute. Instead, she took off her clothes. An yiniang and Lan Ya got a look at the skin that was maintained to be supple and smooth in the past has now been covered with bruises and whip marks. Some of them due to not being treated in time started to fester with pus. In such a short amount of time of not seeing Lan Zhi, her body was already as thin as firewood. An yiniang carefully studied Lan Zhi only to see that Lan Zhis face had traces of being pped.
How could this be? Who did this! Even if An yiniang had an answer in her heart, she still asked.
Who else can do this? Of course, its cousin-brother. Mother, if you dont help cousin-brother ask for medicine, cousin-brother will beat me to death! Lan Zhi pled, crying piteously.
Just moments before An yiniang was unbelievably distressed now was suddenly muted, with some hesitation, Zhier, it isnt that mother isnt willing to help you. Its just that Mother is powerless ah. How about this? Mother will go ask your father to make Pinger treat you well!
Lan Zhi looked at such a hypocritical mother and older sister who pretends she doesnt even exist. Her heart was sour. She deliberately showed her mother the scars on her body to her mother in hopes that she can get sympathy from her mother and sister so they will go ask for medicine to save her. She didnt expect that her mother and sister who usually said nice things didnt care about her life or death. They only cared about wealth and rank and their own safety.
Lan Zhi picked up the scissors on the table and stabbed it at Lan Yas body. Since they didnt care about her, if she cant live, then they dont even need to think about living! Doesnt mother care about eldest sister? She will destroy eldest sister! Doesnt eldest sister want to be wangfei? She will make her beautiful dream disappear!
Ah!

83 Lan Zhis Death

secretdreamwishes
Lan Ya screamed, staring at the arm that couldnt escape from being stabbed. She hid behind An yiniang, Mother, hurry, drag her out! Shes crazy!
An yiniang was also stunned by Lan Zhis sudden move. Now seeing her eldest daughter was hurt, she brutally pushed away Lan Zhi. Lan Zhis body was already pretty damaged with her body being full of scars, so An yiniangs one push instantly caused her to fall to the ground.
When the maids standing outside heard the screams, they immediately barged in. As soon as they came in, they heard An yiniangs voice shouting, Quick! Tie her up quickly!
Although Lan Zhi has been pushed to the ground, she was not muddle-headed. Hearing her mother and older sisters voice, she became even angrier, You really have a cold heart. Why didnt I kill you!
You, you... An yiniang was shocked by Lan Zhis fierce words. In her heart her second daughter though arrogant and ignorant but when has she ever dared to treat her mother and older sister like this? And to do it without any hesitation. Now in An yiniangs heart, Lan Zhi was totally abandoned. The moment she picked up the knife, she has already been abandoned.
Whats happened here? Lan Jian Jun led Uncle Lan and a few of Lan manors guards to An yiniangs courtyard. This was the first time Lan Jian Jun came to this courtyard, but it was not for An yiniang.
Nothing. Having rmed the master is my wrong! An yiniang concealed the matter. After all, if Lan Jian Jun know what happened, not only will he be disappointed in Lan Zhi, he will also be disappointed in her the mother.
You speak! Lan Jian asked an unfamiliar maid. He felt extremely annoyed inside. At first, when he heard Uncle Lan report that something has happened in An yiniangs courtyard, he was eating lunch with his son and daughter, so he did not pay much attention to it. What he didnt expect was that his daughter had hime over to take a look. Lan Jian Jun was now a father who totally spoils his daughter so Lan Jian Jun did as he was told and came to this courtyard he has never been to.
Answering master, second young miss used scissors to stab the eldest miss. Now An yiniang ordered everyone to tie up second miss, the maid told the truth.
Hmph! Each one of you does not know how to be peaceful! Uncle Lan, bring over An familys eldest master to the front hall! Finished, Lan Jian Jun took everyone to the front hall. Lan Zhi who has been tied up was supported by maids while An yiniang and Lan Ya followed behind.
When An Ping was informed of the incident, Uncle Lan already brought An Ping to the front hall.
Father inw! An Ping knew that justice wasnt on his side. After all Lan Zhi was now one of An manors people, someone from An manor hurt Lan manors young miss, no matter how you exin it, it wasnt right.
An eldest young master dont im kinship. Since Lan Zhi can do such an unfilial thing, then from this day on, Lan Zhi is no longer my Lan manors person. Uncle Lan, inform everyone tomorrow that Lan Zhi is removed of her Lan surname. She has no other connection with my Lan manor! Lan Jian Jun dered without pause.
Father, dont, father! Lan Zhi knelt on the ground pleading. Lan Jian Juns eyes shed with a trace of hesitation, but he did not take back what he said. What he did was Nianers intention. Before leaving the table, Nianer said, since second sister is so disobedient, General Lan should take away her Lan manors identity, as to not bring disaster to my Lan manor!
Father inw, this... An Ping didnt know what to say to Lan Jian Juns merciless words.
Since she is no longer my Lan manors young miss, please ask An eldest master to call this general, General Lan. Uncle Lan, send eldest An young master back home! Lan Jian Jun just seeing An Ping felt angry and directly began to chase people out of his home. Under Lan Zhis crying and An Pings dissatisfied posture, the two was led out of Lan manor.
Master, Yaers injury is very grave. Please ask for a doctor! An yiniang looked at the wound on Lan Yas arm heartachingly. In reality, the wound wasnt that deep, but Lan Ya was crying as if she was going to die.
The injury is serious? Just a little injury is called a serious injury? An yiniang, shouldnt you tell this general what actually happened? Lan Jian Jun just looking at this mother and daughter, he felt angry. Thinking of how Nianer disappeared in the past was their doing, he wanted to kill them. If he werent giving consideration to the Empress and An manor, he would have already killed them. Now he can only slowly find the faults of An yiniang so he can dispose of An yiniang.
Master, this concubine doesnt know why Zhier suddenly went crazy and hurt Yaer. This concubine really doesnt know! An yiniang looked at this Lan Jian Jun who is being as cold as he was in the past, her heart ached. Just because he didnt like her, he didnt even care about their children?
What a good dont know! Look at your good daughter! Truly vicious! Lan Jian Jun said to Uncle Lan, Penalize An yiniang to kneel three days! Finished, he departed. After all, he hasnt finished eating with his son and daughter.
Someonee! Ask for a doctor! As soon as An yiniang saw Lan Jian Jun leave, she gave orders to the servants. After all, she only had this daughter left. If a scar was left on this daughters body, what should she do?
Someonee! Take An yiniang back to the courtyard to kneel as punishment. Have a mama supervise! Uncle Lans voice followed quickly behind causing the anxious and angry An yiniang to faint in anger.
Mother! Lan Ya seeing An yiniang faint didnt pretend to cry anymore and shouted as she supported An yiniang.
Someonee, send eldest miss back to her room. Find a doctor for eldest miss! Lan Uncle instructed the guards. Looking at Lan Yas pretense, he felt inherent dislike. He felt the third miss was the best. Him this old man was fond of her on first nce.
You dare! Lan Ya yelled at Lan Uncle. She was Lan manors eldest miss! When did an old ve dare to order her around?
This is masters orders. What doesnt this old ve not dare to do? Take An yiniang back to her courtyard to kneel! Uncle Lan ordered. Although he was only an old servant, after following the general on the battlefield for many years, his body exuded a murderous aura. If it werent because he didnt like military power, and was loyal to Lan manor, Uncle Lan probably would have be a well-known soldier.
Understood! One by one the guards executed their orders. They were regr family servants. They were guards that belonged to Lan Jian Jun.
Uncle Lan seeing the guards took Lan Ya out and also dragged An yiniang down, he nodded with satisfaction then went to You Nian Pavilion to serve his master, the young master, and young miss.
Father! Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian were still eating when they saw Lan Jian Jun rushing in. The two stood up and showed their respect.
Its nothing, continue eating! Saying so, Lan Jian Jun continued to eat with the tableware from before. Lan Jian Jun picked up a piece of braised fish into Lan You Nians dish, said with awkwardness, This fish isnt bad, Nianer eat more!
Thanks! Lan You Nian nodded but did not touch the braised fish. Lan Jian Jun, seeing his daughters estranged thanks and unwillingness to eat the food he picked, felt a burst of sourness in his heart. In reality, this time Lan Jian Jun truly overthought. Lan You Nian wasnt willing to eat fish not because she disliked eating fish but because Lan You Nian didnt like picking out the fishbones, so she usually did not touch foods like fish.
Father already cut off the rtionship with Lan Zhi. In the future no matter what Nianer wants to do can do, you dont have to consider anything! Lan Jian Jun said to his daughter. He wasnt blind. Last time at An manors banquet, his daughter easily reversed the situation. She regrly left Lan manor without anyone knowing. The words and deeds of her maidservants were nobler than daughters of noble families. With his martial arts, he noticed shadow guards of above average martial arts showed up around his daughter. All of this showed that this daughter wasnt ordinary. Since his daughter had things she wanted to do, then he as her father will pave the road for her.
Lan You Nian put down the chopsticks she used to eat, frowned and assessed Lan Jian Jun. It seems Lan Jian Jun was aware that she wanted to go against them, but this man didnt ask for reasons nor did he ask for their ending. He simply helped her. This made Lan You Nian feel she didnt really hate this man so much.
Lan You Nian waved her hand to Lan Ren who wasnt hiding himself. Lan Ren promptly left You Nian Pavilion, disappearing in front of everyones eyes.
Nianer meimei, that is your guard? Lan Mo Xian saw Lan Ren seemed to have a very powerful hidden technique and felt envious. He intuitively felt this man seemed to be at the same level as An Yi. In the past every time he sparred against An Yi, it was a disastrous defeat. Because of this Lan Mo Xian was depressed for a long time.
You can say that! Lan You Nian nodded. Lan Ren and the others were not only were her subordinates, they were also her friends.
In the future is there time to let him and I spar? You know older brother likes martial arts very much! Lan Mo Xians words werent false. If he didnt have other things to do, he liked to practice martial arts. But Lan Ren was his little sisters subordinate. If he wanted to spar with Lan Ren, he needed to ask the master.
You have to ask Lan Ren, I cant decide for him, but I think Lan Ren wont refuse! Although Lan You Nian required her subordinates to be absolutely obedient, she didnt interfere in other matters. She gave them a lot of personal space to live and enjoy life, but clearly, Lan Ren and the others were really old-fashioned and always put Lan You Nian first.
Sounds of beating and a voice begging for mercy drifted out from one of An manors small courtyards.
Slut! This young master wanted you to ask for medicine. You actually hurt people instead. Now, how will aunt help me find medicine! An Ping kicked Lan Zhi whoid the ground.
It wasnt me! Cousin-brother, believe me, I did beg mother to ask medicine for cousin-brother, but I didnt expect that mother would refuse. I felt unfair for cousin-brother, so I hurt eldest sister. Cousin-brother, I did it for you ah! Lan Zhi was already tortured almost to death. Her entire body felt woozy.
For this young master? Hmph! Last time this young master didnt know and got onto your bed and caught this sickness. Now this young master only wanted you to ask for medicine, you failed, whats the use of having you? An Ping picked up the porcin vase on the table and threw it on Lan Zhi. The vase broke Lan Zhis forehead causing it to bleed. The fragmented piecesy around Lan Zhi.
Why? Why did everyone treat her like this? Father was like this, mother was like this, older sister was like this, younger brother was like this, now even her husband cousin-brother was like this, what did she do wrong? No, she didnt do anything wrong! It was all these peoples fault! Lan Zhi with her eyes opened wide stared at An Ping who continued to beat her. She picked up a broken piece of porcin and slowly stood up under An Pings beating.
Seems like you still have spirit, huh? An Ping didnt expect that Lan Zhi who suffered from his beatings and would usually beg for mercy right about now would stand up today.
Ah, I want to kill you! Lan Zhi picked up the sharp piece of porcin in her hand and stabbed it at An Pings. But with her frail body how can it fight against the strong body of An Ping, a man? An Ping cherished his life and was about to back away to call in the guards to kill this woman.
In the shadows, Lan Ren looked down at these two people with contempt. When An Ping prepared to dodge sideways, he flung a burst of pressure to throw An Ping towards Lan Zhi. The sharp piece of porcin Lan Zhi held in her hands directly pierced An Pings heart. Lan Ren was afraid there was a possibility that An Ping will be saved so once again threw a small force of power at Lan Zhi so that the porcin in Lan Zhis hands was wholly embedded in An Pings heart.
An Ping stared with wide eyes the blood gushing out of his heart. He opened his mouth to say something, but he only vomited blood. The blood sprayed on Lan Zhis face. Lan Zhi waspletely scared by the sight before her eyes. Although she was furious to the point she wanted to kill An Ping, but now that she really did kill An Ping, she knew for sure she wont be able to live.
Lan Zhi pushed An Ping onto the ground and looked at the window in the back of the room in a panic, wanting to escape through the window. She didnt want to die yet, she didnt want to die at all. It was better to live than to have a good death. She wanted to live. As long as she escapes, no one from An manor can find her.
But will Lan Ren give her this chance to escape? Of course not. They will not let go of any one of the people who bullied their young miss in the past. Since she schemed against young miss, Lan Zhis life has been caught by young miss. She deliberately made Lan Zhi lose all face and lose the innocence of a girl. After catching the disease, she made her be in pain and afraid, then gave a blow to her self-esteem by bing a concubine, making her regret and be disappointed. Then her supposed husband tortured her letting her body and spirit to be in extreme pain. Now to give her the final blow, that is death!
Lan Ren used internal force to make all the things on the table fall to the ground, the sound of objects shattering finally attracted the guards standing outside the door. Seeing the guards barging in, Lan Ren hid himself and left An manor.
Eldest master! The guards saw An Ping lying on the bloody ground shouted anxiously. The other guards tied up Lan Zhi who was about to run away.
Pinger! The entire prime minister manor was immersed in sorrow because the grandson An manors Prime Minister An was most proud of, An Gong Jings most beloved son, An Ping, has died. He was killed by his own concubine. His death was miserable.
Uncle, it wasnt me! It really wasnt me. Uncle let go of Zhier! Lan Zhi saw all the people of An manor looking at her with murderous expressions. It made her afraid and pled for mercy.
An Gong Jing drew out a guards long sword and walked toward Lan Zhi. Each step carried murderous intent and hate. His beloved son died in his own nieces hands, how can he not be angry?
Uncle, no, think about mother. Mother is your younger sister! Lan Zhi backed away.
Pu! The sword in An Gongs hands thrust through Lan Zhi. Without any mercy, he retracted the sword. Seeing Lan Zhi drop down on An manors hall, the guards seemed to be used to it as two people directly came in and dragged out Lan Zhis body.
At the moment right before death, Lan Zhi saw that girl that was always bullied by her, so little and so pitiful, and always used damp eyes to beg her, her soft voice begging, Second sister, please dont hit me again! Lan Zhi saw the little her beating that girl as if teasing her like an animal. Is her ending retribution? But Lan Zhi didnt have the opportunity to know because she died, unable to do anything.

Young miss, Lan Zhi died. She was killed by An Gong Jing! An Ping is also dead! Lan Ren appeared in You Nian Pavilions courtyard and naturally sat down Lan Qu to report to Lan You Nian.
Indeed worthy of being one of An familys people. They have the same vicious character! Lan You Nian ate the fruit on the table. The beautiful face without the concealment of the veil held no trace of pity. Zhang Lin and the others were standing guard on the walls of the courtyard so Lan You Nian can take off her veil without any worries. It was her original intention for Lan Zhi to die and that young master loved by the An family.
Hmph! This An family even thinks they can scheme against young miss. Its good enough that if we dont make them cry for their father and call for their mother! Lan Wu gazed at Lan You Nian with worship, her eyes shining with stars. Lan Wu felt that if her familys young miss were a man, she would definitely climb up young misss bed.
Wipe your drool! Lan Qu tossed her handkerchief to Lan Wu, said with contempt, but her own starry eyes peered at young miss.
Oh! Lan Wu distractedly caught Lan Qus handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then roared, Lan Qu, youre ying with me!
How was I ying with you? You were obviously drooling as you stared at young miss. If I dont stop you, I think you want to drag young miss off to your bed! Lan Qu contemted Lan Wu with worry. Their familys young miss had genius ability and brains and possessed an ethereal beauty. Even other women will be foolish by looking. Fortunately, young miss wasnt a man, otherwise...
How do you know what Im thinking? Lan Wu jumped up with a gasp, but with this exmation exposed her embarrassing thoughts, Cough, young miss, I didnt. I only wanted to climb up your bed. I definitely dont dare to drag you to bed.
Hahahaha... Lan Quughed so hard she couldnt breathe. Even the aloof Lan Ren burst into guffaws. Lan You Nian who usually didnt like tough also followed suit, her eyes overflowing withughter.
Lan Wu waspletely flushed. Seeing everyone unscrupulouslyughing at her, she huffed, Did I say something wrong! Young miss is too attractive. Can you me me?
Im to me then! Lan You Nian smiled with a curve to her lips. Lan Wu was too cute.
Young miss! Lan Wu cried in embarrassment. Lan You Nian and the others knew not to tease Lan Wu too much. Otherwise, this girl will definitely stay mad at them for several days refusing toe out. Although Lan Wus appearance was seductive with a curvaceous figure and had an equally hot temper, on the inside, she was very conservative.
Alright, we wont tease you. You go to third brother to tell him to circte the affairs of An manor! Lan You Nian dropped her smile and gave orders about proper matters. Lan Wu, hearing their familys young miss was letting her go, ran faster than anybody, for fear that if she stayed, shed beughed at by Lan Qu.
Running so fast! Lan You Nian, seeing Lan Wu even used qinggong, couldnt helpughing, Lan Ren, youvee back for a few days. Lan Feng says Wu Qing Pavilion still has many things left to take care of. You should go back!
Yes! Towards Lan You Nians words, Lan Ren was absolutely obedient. Out of all of them, only he was a male so often times Lan Ren took up the duty of an older brother. He naturally took over Wu Qing Pavilions affairs, afraid that young miss worked too hard at such a young age.
Lan Qu, you go with Lan Ren! Lan You Nian assigned.
Becausetely, she has been staying in the capital, many of Wu Qing Pavilions affairs were taken care of by Lan Ren and Lan Feng. Although the other senior brothers helped out, the things they did were different. Outside of Wu Qing Pavilions matters, they did what they liked to do. Although Wu Qing Pavilions rtively substantial matters required her approval, inparison, Lan Feng and Lan Rens pressure was still pretty heavy. Although Lan Qus martial arts was average, she was intelligent and can help out a lot.
Young miss! Lan Qu suddenly knelt down on the ground, Now that Lan Ren nor Lan Feng are present by young misss side, if I again leave young miss, what happens if theres danger? Lan Qu was apprehensive. The capitals twist and turns were more dangerous than the times young miss wandered around in the past.
Ai! Lan You Nian pulled Lan Qu up. How can she not know Lan Qus worry? Every time she came out of the Medical Valley, Lan Qu will follow her everywhere to take care of her every need. In this, Lan Qu did very well. Lan You Nian wanted to send her and Lan Ren back to Wu Qing Pavilion, on the one hand, it was because Wu Qing Pavilions matters were important, and on the other hand Lan You Nian wished to give the two of them time to cultivate their feelings. If Lan Qu was always with her, based on their dutiful personalities, she didnt know which year their rtionship will finally see progress.
You know that recently there are more matters to take care of in Wu Qing Pavilion. I want you to go help take care of it, Lan You Nian sat Lan Qu down, Besides, in the next few days, I want to invite Hua Mu Qing and the others to Tian Du Peaks snowy mountain to y for a few days. Maybe when Ie back, you will also be back? What danger will I be in?
Lan You Nian did not lie. Since the time Hua Mu Qing said she wanted to go out to y Lan You Nian had this idea. Tian Du Peak was not far. It was just outside the capital. It would be very convenient to y for three to four days thene back. Lately, shes be very restless from staying in the courtyard. She wanted to go out and have a look around.
Young miss wants to go out to y? Then I cant leave! I want to go with young miss. It is freezing on the mountain! Lan Qu was even more uneasy when she heard this. Her familys young misss body was very frail. Every time the poison awakened, it consumed a months nourishment. Due to this, young misss body was afraid of the cold. They heard the several young masters say that in the past young miss was buried in the snow for several days, so she was left with a weak physical foundation.
Even if you stay, I wont take you. Im only going out to relieve my boredom. Otherwise, if I stay in the capital all the time, I will go crazy. You dont need to worry! Lan You Nian reassured.
I understand. I will do my best to help Lan Ren and Lan Feng take care of the affairs in the sect ande back early! Lan Qu knew that if her familys young miss told her this, then she will definitelymit to it. She cant help young miss with anything, so it was better for her to return to headquarters to deal with matters as to ease young misss burdens.
Father, An Ping was killed by Lan Zhi and Lan Zhi has died! Lan Mo Xian informed Lan Jian Jun who was in the military camp dealing with paperwork.
Dead? Lan Jian Jun was stunned, but there wasnt much sadness. In his heart, since eating lunch with Nianer that day, he had his own spections. What he didnt expect was that this daughter acted without anyone being aware. He knew this matter cannot depart from any connection with Nianer.
Yes, the two of them are dead. Currently, many unfavorable rumors about An manor are circting around in the capital! Lan Mo Xian added with a trace of joy in his voice. The conflict between their Lan manor and An manor has grown. In the future, only one can live. They must live because they had people they wanted to protect.
What do the rumors say? With the current power of An manor, the rumors can still circte around? It seems people are controlling the rumors behind this! Lan Jian Jun analyzed. While An manor cant cover the entire sky in the capital, they can cover half the sky. It was just a measly rumor that An manor can easily extinguish, but unexpectedly the rumors circted all over the capital by this point. He wasnt sure if the one controlling the rumors was fourth wangye or Ming wang.
First it was a doctor who said that when An Ping was alive, he caught the flower disease. It was suppressed by An manor before it exploded. Everywhere in the capital is the rumors of An Pings new concubine who killed him after being beat by An Ping. After the rumors have circted a while, a new rumor came out saying the concubine who killed An Ping was Lan Zhi who has been disowned by our Lan manor. Atst, this morning rumors circted of An manor killing Lan Zhi. In the capital, everyone is talking about An manor. It seems An manor will have many troubles! Lan Mo Xian reported the rumors of thesest few days to his father.
One rumor following another, everyones eyes are cast on An manor. Finally, the rumor that An manor killed Lan Zhi circted around. Whether people believe or dont believe in the rumors, they will condemn An manor. The one behind this isnt an amateur! Lan Mo Xian praised with admiration. Such a rumor is rich in subterfuge.
Yeah, An manor probably wont be peaceful in the next few days. Although we cant do anything to An manor, we can at least deal them a headache of problems! Lan Mo Xian was itching with hate towards An manors evil scheme at An manors banquet. Thinking back, he felt afraid of what could have happened.
Mo Xian, who do you think is behind this rumor? Lan Jian Jun asked.
The only one who can control the rumors so well is most likely Ming wang. Ming wang is not only unrivaled in schemes, and no one canpare in ability. He is an excellent master! Lan Mo Xian analyzed.
En, this is most likely done by Ming wang. This rumor kept our Lan manorpletely clean. Although Ming wang doesnt bat an eysh when killing people, he isnt that kind of low-life. It can be seen from him takingmand all these years on the battlefield that he is a rarely seen God of War! Lan Jian Jun was full of praise when speaking of Feng Yi Xuan.
Mother, second sister... Lan Ya stepped into An yiniangs courtyard, took a look at An yiniang who was tired out from kneeling thest few days, and was about to inform her of the rumors outside, no, the truth.
Dont mention her. So bothersome! An yiniang took the birds nest soup brought in by Qiuer to nourish her depleted body.
Mother, second sister died! Lan Ya sniffed with red eyes. Although she looked down on this second sister who became a concubine, in the end, the two of them have had a sisterly rtionship for many years, so now that Lan Zhi suddenly passed away, Lan Ya still cried for her.
What? The birds nest soup in An yiniangs hands spilled all over the bed, but An yiniangs attention was fixated on Lan Ya, Say that again! What happened to Zhier?
Mother, second sister passed away! Wuwu...! Lan Ya hugged An yiniang as she wept.
That cant be. Zhier still looked well a few days ago. How could she die! An yiniang cried with Lan Ya.
Mother, second sister is killed by uncle. Cousin-brother is dead too. He was killed by second sister. Mother! Lan Ya reported all the news she found out to An yiniang as she cried.
Howe? How is it like this? An yiniang was frightened. If her second daughter killed Pinger, then in the future how will father look at her? Will An manor still help her? If she lost An manors support, will master not want her? Everything will be gone! How can it be like this? Yes! Its Lan You Nian. Its all because of that slut that her Zhier suffered as she died. Its all that sluts fault that she became like this!
This is all because of Lan You Nian that slut! Yaer, this is all because of Lan You Nian that slut! An yiniang looked at Lan Ya as she swore.
Mother!
Its all because of her. She stole away masters love for you. She let Zhier fall into a trap and killed her. She stole your glory. Its all because of her! An yiniang pushed all the me onto Lan You Nian.
Yes, all her fault! Mother, Lan manors legitimate daughter should be me. It should be me! Lan Ya hated that Lan You Nian stole away her identity of the legitimate daughter, Mother, what should we do?
Kill her!
Kill her?
Yes! Must kill her!

Reaching the other side of Tian Du Peak, one can see the pure white snow of Tian Du Peak, pure and clean without any dirt. The pines on the mountain were entirely hung with sparkling snowkes, only the underside of the leaves was green. The bamboo leaves were alsoyered with snow, ayer of frost adhered to the culm of the bamboo. Lan You Nian and others admired the entirely white mountain peak that only had sporadic footprints. The ce that has been stepped on was like a thick carpet.
Ah! You can actually see scenery you only get to see in winter here! Hua Mu Qing happily bound to a snow pile.
Lan You Nian gazed at the pure white snow. A burst of joy fluttered in her heart. This Tian Du Peak, on one side it was summer with trees green and lush, but on this side, because of not being exposed to the sunlight all year round, due to the geographical reasons, it retained the winter snow on the mountain, making it beautiful beyond belief.
A ck cloak with remnant body temperature was draped on Lan You Nians body. Lan You Nian looked up and saw Feng Yi Xuan had untied his cloak and draped it on her. He lowered his head, entirely focused on tying the cloak wrapping it tightly around her. His expression was warm and earnest.
Lan You Nian scanned Feng Yi Xuans thin robes, ready to refuse, No need, you wear it yourself! To which she was about to untie the cloak to return it to Feng Yi Xuan.
Im not cold! Feng Yi Xuan stopped Lan You Nians action of untying the clock, frowned at Lan You Nian, Your body isnt good. Why did you stille here to y? I will take you back! Through the entire journey, the entirety of Feng Yi Xuans attention was fixated on Lan You Nian. Since thest time at Zhen Wei Pavilion where Lan You Nian suddenly got sick, though he did not investigate into what sickness Lan You Nian caught, he knew Lan You Nians body wasnt good. So he has been very worried as they traveled on the road.
What? Nianer meimei isnt feeling well? Lan Mo Xian fretted, the worry in his voice made Yu Liu Li and Hua Mu Qing drop their y in the snow ande over. Everyone was worried as they looked at Lan You Nian. With just one look they saw the part of Lan You Nians face that was exposed by the veil was indeed pale.
How are you doing your job as an older brother? Even this little stuff you dont know! Hua Mu Qing angrily ranted to Lan Mo Xian, then to Lan You Nian she murmured guiltily, Nianer meimei lets go back. I know Nianer meimei came out because you promised me, but Ive already left the capital and saw this beautiful scenery. It wasnt a bad trip!
What junzhu said is sensible. Nianer meimeis body is most important! Yu Liu Li concurred.
Only Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian, Yu Liu Li, Lan Mo Xian, and Hua Mu Qing came out to y this time. They were apanied by Feng Yi Xuans shadow guards An Yi and An San who brought some clothes and food. If the others took a careful look at those things, they would realize that they were all Lan You Nians favorites, even the clothes were Lan You Nians. However, no one paid any attention to this little detail. Of course, Feng Xia Qi and the others wanted toe, but the current state of the court was grim and needed someone to personally assumemand. Feng Xia Qi couldnt win the argument with Feng Yi Xuan so he could only stay behind in the capital to fight with the old geezers. As for Jing Wu An and the others, they too wanted toe. After all, Lan You Nian also invited them, but they couldnt stand up to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan was their master ah! So they were all left behind in the capital by Feng Yi Xuan for various reasons. Only Yu Liu Li was not afraid of death and followed them.
Im not so delicate. I just came out to y. Its just a little bit of cold. To go back now, isnt it too disappointing? And I am in good health! Lan You Nian smiled. She even twirled a circle in front of everyone. On the ground that waspletely covered in white snow, there was a little figure twirling around like a snow elf, beautiful beyond words.
Is it really okay? If Nianer meimei doesnt feel well, you must tell us! Hua Mu Qing still wasnt at ease. Perhaps in everyones eyes, Lan You Nian was still a child. In the past, she was lonely without anyone to rely on, and the fact that she wandered around in her childhood led everyone to feel more tenderness for her.
Alright, Mu Qing jiejie when have you be so chatty like older brother? Lan You Nian helplessly asked.
Whos the same as her (him)! Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing shouted in unison. As soon as their words fell, they noticed the content was the same and shot daggers at each other.
You two, why do you have such perfect unison? Yu Liu Li was amused by the synchronized expressions of the two,ughed and joked.
Who is in perfect unison with her (him)? the two again said in unison, but the twos face actually turned a little red and seemed a little embarrassed.
Even refute it? See isnt these words and action the same? You guys really look like husband and wife! Yu Liu Li casuallyughed. He was a man of the pugilistic world and did not care for trifling formalities. As to this kind of joking tease, it simply came out as he opened his mouth. Everyone understood and werent angry.
I feel its good. If were someone else, Nianer wont like. Only if it was Mu Qing jiejie does Nianer feel it is a good match for older brother! Lan You Nian joined inughter with Yu Liu Li.
Nianer meimei, how did you also learn Liu Lis pugilistic ways? Hua Mu Qing used her hands to grab the white snow on the ground, bunched it into a ball and threw it at Lan You Nian. Before the snowball could reach even an inch of Lan You Nian, it was shattered by Feng Yi Xuan. If it were any other person, Hua Mu Qing would continue to aggressively joke around with Lan You Nian. Shooting a nce at Feng Yi Xuan, Hua Mu Jing was more behaved than anyone.
Yeah, Liu Li dont you lead Nianer meimei astray. Besides, if junzhu entered my Lan manors doors, wont she cause a mess in my Lan manor! Lan Mo Xian mumbled. Since he was little, hes bantered with Hua Mu Qing till they were all grown up. He understood what Hua Mu Qings temperament was like the best. Lan Mo Xian, what do you mean! You tell this junzhu clearly! Hua Mu Qing threw the snowball at Lan Mo Xian. Lan Mo Xian was wholly covered with white snow all over his hand and bantered with Hua Mu Qing. In the end, even Yu Liu Li and An San joined in the snowball fight.
You want to y? Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nians sparkling eyes that watched them y. If Nian Nian wanted to y, he will too, but he wont allow her to y with them. What if they identally hurt Nian Nian?
Lan You Nian shook her head, simply contently stood there watching Lan Mo Xian and the others y around, watching them y without restraint. Perhaps due to her dark experiences in the past and her mature mentality, in her eyes, this group of friends ying without restriction was too interesting.
And Feng Yi Xuan seeing Lan You Nians joy, from time to time, attacked the others with snowballs that An Yi rolled up. Every time, Feng Yi Xuan was very deliberate to make them very disheveled. He, standing beside Lan You Nian, seeing how the girl was happilyughing because of the others, the corner of his lips tugged up and continued to abuse the people ying around in the snow. In the end, Lan You Nian was happy, Feng Yi Xuan seeing Lan You Nian was delighted, he was pleased, the most miserable were the others. Feng Yi Xuan was most. What was sadder was that no one dared to question Feng Yi Xuan.
Amid everyones ying, the sky darkened. Everyone was prepared to spend the night in the wild. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan Mo Xian were military people, so it wasmon to spend the night outside. For Yu Liu Li who was from the pugilistic world, it was even moremon. Although Hua Mu Qing was a junzhu, she was straightforward and didnt care about these, so everyone turned their attention to Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian knew everyone was afraid she wasnt ustomed, but she didnt exin, only came to An Sans side to help set up the tent. From the familiar way in which Lan You Nian set up the tent, it can be seen that she was no stranger to sleeping in the wild. Although the others were confused, they were eased by this knowledge.
Nianer meimei, you can cook, y music, andpose poems. Now you can even do this! How do you let us live ah! Yu Lu Li was stunned standing beside Lan You Nian as he watched Lan You Nian swiftly set up the tent, praising continuously.
An San, seeing Lan You Nian who was setting up the tent even faster than her, felt admiration in her heart. Most women were too fragile, unwilling to touch these. Probably only Miss Lan will do this kind of work without any difort at doing these things only servants did.
Feng Yi Xuan did not say only, only came to Lan You Nians side to take the things in Lan You Nians hands from her and began to set up the tent and the arrangements inside. Seeing his good friend Yu Liu Li still lingering around Nia Nian, Feng Yi Xuan said coldly, Set up your own tent, dont do no sleep!
Yu Liu Li hearing this hurriedly seized the things from An Yis hands and ran off to the side to set up the tent. Lan Mo Xian and Hua M Qing also began setting up their own tents. However, Hua Mu Qing has never done this before, so it was a little messy. Lan Mo Xian had to help her set up the tent.
Lan You Nian observed as Feng Yi Xuan set up the tent for her. His technique was practiced. It should be from fighting in the war. After Feng Yi Xuan finished setting up the tent, he picked up the things An San brought and took them into the tent to arrange them. Lan You Nian felt curious and followed into the small tent after him.
Inside the small tent, Feng Yi Xuans height made it seem a little crowded. Currently, that man wasying down the soft plush fur on the ground and sorted out a lot of other things. Lan You Nian can be sure that many of the things An San brought were ced into the tent. The decoration inside was all the things that she liked or things that will make her sleep at night morefortable. This man considerately prepared so much without her being aware.
After all the things wereid out, Feng Yi Xuan said to Lan You Nian, Is there something you dont like? If anything is bad, just say it! Although he didnt agree with Nian Nian toe here to freeze nor did he have a lot of time to prepare, since Nian Nian liked it, he will do his best to make sure Nian Nian wasfortable. If Nian Nian wanted something, just have An Yi get it for her. At this time, Feng Yi Xuan didnt consider the fact that An Yi was a shadow guard, his job wasnt to run errands. Going back and forth so far, isnt it tormenting people?
Its excellent! Lan You Nian thanked. It was indeed excellent. After all, telling them toe here to y was impromptu without much preparation, but for Feng Yi Xuan to have prepared so much, it was really rare to see.
For dinner, everyone was going to eat the dry food rations that An San brought over, but everyone felt that since they came out to y, eating these would be mundane. In the end, after talking it over, Lan Mo Xian and Yu Liu Li went to find wild game. They were going to eat roast meat.
You have to say that Yu Liu Li and Lan Mo Xians survival technique was pretty good. After a while, they carried back a few small wild game. The two because of having used martial arts so naturally were happy. All the way back, they chatted about the interesting things that happened during the hunt.
Feng Yi Xuan sat beside Lan You Nian. When the game has been cleaned by An Yi, everyone sat by the fire to roast the meat. Feng Yi Xuan picked up the best-looking one and started to roast it. From time to time, he turned it around, even adding some seasoning to the cooked food. After a while, the food in Feng Yi Xuans hand exuded a strong fragrance, causing the others to swallow their saliva. But no one had the guts to ask for it from Feng Yi Xuan.
Among the people sitting around the fire only Lan You Nian had nothing to do. It wasnt that she didnt want to do anything but rather that everyone was very opposed to her doing anything. The biggest objection was from Feng Yi Xuan. As soon as Lan You Nian started doing something, Feng Yi Xuan will immediately steal it from her and finish it, making Lan You Nian very at leisure.
Feng Yi Xuan tore off the best part of the meat and handed it to Lan You Nian, Try it. See if you like it! The others were also going to give the food in their hands to Lan You Nian. However, when theypared the colorful and aromatic meat in Feng Yi Xuans hands to the discolored one in theirs, they silently retracted their food.
Lan You Nian candidly received it and took a bite. Indeed it was delicious. The roast meat was roasted perfectly, neither burnt nor raw. The seasoning seeped into the meat, making it especially fragrant when eating.
Seeing Nian Nian was delighted with her food, Feng Yi Xuan was also thrilled. For himself, he ate the parts of the roast meat that wasnt as good then continued to barbecue, taking excellent care of Lan You Nian.

After everyone was full, they talked freely around the fire. Both young men and women enjoyed this beautiful night.
Ai, Lan Mo Xian, why did you guys go hunting for so long? Hua Mu Qingined, making her worried that something happened to this guy who she didnt see eye to eye.
Uh... Lan Mo Xian nced at Yu Liu Li and hesitated. This made Hua Mu Qing more curious.
Did you guys find anything fun? How selfish of you not to share! Hua Mu Qing shouted in dissatisfaction. Even An Yi thumped Lan Mo Xian, dissatisfied with his actions.
No, we just had a lot of fun hunting so held up the time. Near the other side of the mountain, we found an orange tree that was full of oranges. Mo Xian and I were going to pick some to give to Nianer meimei and junzhu to eat, but the hunt has dyed us already, so there was no time to pick any. Even now, Mo Xian probably think its a pity! Yu Liu Li exined the reason why they were held up for so long. With their identity, what kinds of things they havent eaten before. They only felt it was something novel and fun and so wanted to pick some.
Really? Such a cold ce has an orange tree? I have never seen an orange tree before! Hua Mu Qing was like a curious child as she tugged Lan Mo Xians sleeves. Her personal status was high, so usually many matters were taken care of by the maids. When would she go pick things personally?
En, from far away it looks fresh and delicious. Nianer meimei likes to eat fruit. I really wanted to pick some! Lan Mo Xian said with embarrassment. He saw his younger sister can even set up a tent, he felt distressed inside. He was afraid that all these years his little sister lived in hardship when he wasnt aware. When he first saw the orange tree, he wanted to pick some, but because it waste, they were afraid everyone would worry, so they returned. However inside, he felt unwilling. He thought about sneaking out early tomorrow morning to pick some but didnt expect Hua Mu Qing to ask about it.
What? Lets go to pick them now! Hua Mu Qing shouted excitedly. She believed in the saying that seeing is believing. The purpose ofing out was to y and have fun. If there were too many restraints, it wasnt any better than staying in the capital.
How about this, Mo Xian and I go together. You guys wait here! Yu Liu Li said. After all, this was the wilderness. It was dangerous.
Lets go together. Besides, theres nothing to do here. Lets go together! Nianer meimei right, right! Hua Mu Qing acted spoiled. Now that shese here, shes left behind the shackles in the capital. Her true personality was yful. When she heard them say they were going to pick fruit, of course they must go together.
Lan You Nian considered it for a moment. The snow mountain might not be safe at night. If her older brother and the others went, she would worry, but...
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian frowning in thought and said softly, If you want to go, then go. If anything happens, theres still me! He knew Lan You Nians worries. In Feng Yi Xuans heart whatever Nian Nian want to do, she can go do. He will always protect her. Those people Nian Nian wished to protect, he will help her to protect even though he didnt care about other peoples life or death.
Nianer meimei, lets go, lets go! Its still so early. I cant fall asleep anyways, so lets go y! Hua Mu Qing wanted to pull Lan You Nians arm, but Feng Yi Xuan suddenly grasped Lan You Nians hand and left the spot. Hua Mu Qing awkwardly looked at Feng Yi Xuan, however with her bubbly personality, she went on to discuss the ns with Lan You Nian.
What fun do you-a woman-want to join in? We will pick for you to eat. Dont take Nianer meimei to go crazy with you! Lan Mo Xian disapproved.
Dont look down on women. Why cant we go? An Sans martial arts is very high, hmph! Hua Mu Qing dragged An San into the battle. Her desire to y was palpable. Lan Mo Xian knew that many years living in the capital have made Hua Mu Qing repressed herself for a long time. Although Hua Mu Qing had a bubbly personality, being a female by herself wasnt easy. He couldnt help but feel heartache for this girl who was alwaysughing and ying around.
Then lets go, but you better act decently; otherwise I wont help you! Lan Mo Xian threatened fiercely, but the end result was that Hua Mu Qing hoorayed and hurried to the peak, causing Lan Mo Xian to rush to keep up.
Lan You Nian was going to follow but realized her hands were still being held by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian into the just-finished tent. From one of the bags, he took out a white fox fur coat and handed it to Lan You Nian, The nights in the mountains are cold. You need to wear more! Finished, he left the tent to stand guard.
Lan You Nian looked at the thick and warm coat. As expected the clothing was her own size and on the hem was embroidered with a red spider lily blooming beautifully. Wearing the coat, she stepped out of the tent and noticed Feng Yi Xuan was standing there like the most stout knight.
Cold? Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian who has put on the coat. The thick coat wrapped up the tiny Lan You Nian, making her appear to invoke more tender feelings from others.
Its fine! Lan You Nian gave a rare smile in reply. In reality, her body was still afraid of the cold. Although she had internal force to protect her body, her body wasnt good in the first ce, so naturally got cold.
Nianer faster! Hua Mu Qing who already ran for a while saw Lan You Nian didnte yet, returned to camp. Since Lan You Nian didnt move, Feng Yi Xuan definitely wont move. Neither An Yi and An San did not move.
Lan You Nian made a sound in agreement and walked faster. The snow here was not very deep, but in this season it was rare to see snow. At night the snow looked more pleasing to the eye. The group of people treaded and stopped, not in a hurry to pick oranges. They walked for about an hour before they saw an orange tree near the back of the mountain. The orange tree with lush leaves was covered with bright oranges. The alternating orange and green were very beautiful.
Hua Mu Qing and the others walked under the tree to look at the fruits. They swallowed their saliva. These oranges looked delicious. Everyone had walked for a long time so was a little thirsty. The orange tree emitted a sour taste, stimting their senses.
Yu Liu Li used qinggong to fly up to the top of the tree and started to pick some oranges. He picked them down and threw them to the people on the ground. Hua Mu Qing couldnt stand still. No matter where Yu Liu Li threw the oranges, she will fight to catch it. The others yed around, having fun.
Lan You Nian stood off to the side, afraid to disturb their fun. Yu Li Li, to tease Hua Mu Qing, threw the oranges farther and farther away, coincidentally, it was in the direction where Lan You Nian was standing. Hua Mu Qing also had some martial arts, immediately rushed to Lan You Nian to catch the orange, but an ident suddenly happened.
Because the snow covered the ground entirely, no one realized that where Hua Mu Qing was standing was empty underneath. When Hua Mu Qing caught the orange, she noticed something was wrong. Her entire body started to slide down. Lan You Nian who was closest to Hua Mu Qing gave her a tug. She didnt use martial arts nor did she have such an opportunity. In that instant, Lan You Nian pulled Hua Mu Qing up. Because of the force she used, she caused the snow to fall under her.
Nianer meimei! Lan Mo Xian who rushed over to save Hua Mu Qing saw his little sister save Hua Mu Qing but fell into the snow and rolled down the cliff! The others quickly flew over to Lan You Nian, but in such a short time how can they get there. Feng Yi Xuan followed Lan You Nian by leaping down. Everyone only saw Lan You Nian identally fell off the cliff and Feng Yi Xuan with such fast speed jumped down with her.
While falling down the cliff, Lan You Nian mourned in her heart, she really was f*cking unlucky to be able to fall down like this! Just when Lan You Nian was about to spew out a curse, she noticed someone grasped her hand, enveloping her entire body into a broad chest. In such a critical situation, she could hear the fast and powerful pounding of the heart in the chest. One beat after another shocked her depleted soul.
Lan You Nian, in Feng Yi Xuans arms, carefully analyzed their situation. The ce they fell down wasnt a cliff, but a narrow chasm. Feng Yi Xuan pressed her head to his heart with his strong and powerful arms tightly held her as if nothing can make him let go. The sharp stones of the narrow gap in the cliff cut into Feng Yi Xuans back as they rolled down. Lan You Nian could sense the momentary stiffness of the man holding her, but after that, he held her even more tightly, not letting her suffer a single injury.
Fortunately, the cliff wasnt too high. After some time, the two rolled down until they stopped rolling in the grass. Lan You Nian broke free from Feng Yi Xuans arms and hurried to check Feng Yi Xuans body. At this moment Feng Yi Xuan was stunned frozen as he stared at Lan You Nian, seemed to have be stupid.
Lan You Nians eyes were full of anxiousness. It was undeniable that she was moved by this man who always protected her. She checked Feng Yi Xuans pulse and found there was no big problem. It was only some skin injuries. She promptly released a breath and rxed her heart. She noticed Feng Yi Xuan hasnt said a word and lifted her head only to see that the heroic Ming wang daren was staring straight at her. His eyes didnt even blink, that stupid look made Lan You Nian wonder if he hit his head while falling down.
Whats wrong with you? Are you hurt anywhere? Lan You Nian didnt realize her words contained worry and anxiety. Lan You Nian asked for a while and noticed Feng Yi Xuan didnt reply. It made her anxious. She didnt know what else to do.
Your face.... Feng Yi Xuan stretched out his slender fingers to stroke Lan You Nians cheeks. The delicate white jade skin was without any blemishes, eyes of zed gemstones seemed to be blended with broken stars and the moon, lustrously brilliant. A delicate nose, tender and luscious lips, temperament as tranquil as orchid, but at the same time as noble as peony, and as beautiful as a rose. The flowers of the world lost all their color in front of her. Between heaven and earth, they were only left with a silhouette of a beauty overturning the world. Lan You Nian was shocked. It turned out that her veil fell off when rolling down the cliff, and now her real face was seen by Feng Yi Xuan.
So good! Feng Yi Xuan whispered. Lan You Nian was disappointed inside. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to also be someone who put great importance on appearance, is that the reason he rejoiced? Lan You Nian felt ufortable in her heart, it was an odd feeling.
Its good that you didnt suffer those pains! Feng Yi Xuan sighed lowly. His eyes did not contain the appreciation of her physical beauty but delight and heartache that Lan You Nian did not experience the pain from disfigurement. Lan You Nian understood Feng Yi Xuans meaning. Her heart instantly felt better.
Feng Yi Xuan was feeling very fortunate. No matter what his Nian Nians face looked like, he didnt care. What he cared about was whether or not Nian Nian was tormented by previous injuries. Now that he saw Nian Nians face wasnt damaged, it proved that she did not suffer those pains in the past. This was what he felt fortunate about. However, Feng Yi Xuan really didnt expect his Nian Nian to be so beautiful.
I will help you treat your injuries! Lan You Nian took out the medicine she carried with her to put it on Feng Yi Xuans back injuries. She was Medical Valleys disciple; naturally, the medicine she carried with her was hard to find. Feng Yi Xuans back injuries will be better in a few days. Feng Yi Xuan greedily took in the girl in front of him, not because of that beautiful face but because of the rare concern in the girls eyes.

Nianer meimei! Hua Mu Qing looked down the bottomless crevasse and abyss under her feet. Large teardrops trickled down her face, her heart was full of self-me. She wanted to jump down to save Lan You Nian.
Are you crazy!? Lan Mo Xian pulled up Hua Mu Qing and dragged her over to a safe ce. Hua Mu Qing leaned on Lan Mo Xians shoulder and burst into tears.
Its all my fault. If I didnt have toe to pick oranges, this wouldnt have happened! If I didnt want to y, how could Nianer meimei have fallen down from saving me! I deserve to die! Hua Mu Qing wailed. She could only watch as the little sister she wanted to protect, the friend she wanted to protect fell down because of her. If something happened to Nianer meimei, she Hua Mu Qing would not continue on living!
Mu Qing! Calm down! Nianer meimei is fine. Ming wang already went down to save her. Little sister will be fine. Mu Qing calm down! Lan Mo Xians heart was painfully worried. The little sister he has always wanted to protect and pamper once again disappeared in front of his eyes, yet he this big brother cant do anything! But he knew this matter wasnt Hua Mu Qings fault. Seeing Hua Mu Qings self-ming, he didnt feel good either.
Right! Nianer meimei will be fine! I am going to find Nianer meimei! Hua Mu Qing anxiously stood up and steadied her emotions. It was Lan Mo Xians words that sobered her, or perhaps it was this mansfort that made her understand crying was useless.
An Yi and An San were also anxious. They carefully examined the slopes of the cliff that master and Miss Lan rolled down from. Although the mountain slope was dangerous, An Yi And An San understood with their masters ability nothing will happen to him. They were worried about Miss Lan. Not only did master put Miss Lan in his heart, but they also considered Miss Lan their matriarch from the bottom of their hearts. Miss Lan-a woman-fell first, who knows if something happened...thinking about the seriousness of the matter, An Yi sent out the news to call on wangfus other shadow guards. By all means, they must find master and Miss Lan as soon as possible!
Yu Liu Li was also extremely anxious as he followed An Yi and An San walked down the cliff together. Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing also searched together. Every one of them was worried about Lan You Nian. Not that they werent concerned about Feng Yi Xuan, they were aware of Feng Yi Xuans martial arts and ability. Besides An Yi and An San, they didnt know Lan You Nian knew martial arts, so naturally were panicked!
Everyone dont panic. Since master jumped down, then he will definitely protect Miss Lan! An Yi looked at the three peoples worried faces, good intentionally tried to persuade them. Masters heart towards Miss Lan, they-shadow guards-all knew. Based on masters care for Miss Lan, although they cant say Miss Lan wouldnt be hurt the slightest bit, she definitely wont lose her life.
I hope Ming wang can lend a helping hand. I Lan Mo Xian will do anything to will repay Ming wang! Lan Mo Xian led Hua Mu Qing carefully down the mountain slope. He was still worried inside. Although Ming wang treated Nianer meimei differently from everybody else, even shockingly followed Nianer meimei by jumping down, but he has been with Ming wang for so many years, Ming wangs temper was well-known to be unpredictable. Towards women, he wont give an additional nce. He didnt know if Ming wang would make an effort to save his little sister.
Since Yi Xuan jumped down then he will definitely save Miss Lan. Dont me yourself too much! Yu Liu Li can read Lan Mo Xians remorseful expression. He was worried himself, but he attempted to say some reassuring words to prevent Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing from ming themselves overly much.
The group of people silently prayed as they continued to search ....
Although Feng Yi Xuans back wasnt injured by the cliff, it didnt affect Feng Yi Xuans movement. He held onto Lan You Nians small hand as they started to look for a ce to rest for the night. After all, it was dangerous to be searching for a path at night. It was better to rest for the night. It was safer to start searching for a road bright and early tomorrow morning.
Feng Yi Xuan, holding Lan You Nians hand, found a cave. Borrowing the moonlight, one can see that although the cave was simple and crude, they can manage to rest for a short while. Feng Yi Xuan frowned and picked up Lan You Nian then walked into the cave.
What are you doing? Put me down! Lan You Nian was taken by surprise by Feng Yi Xuans sudden movement.
The ground is dirty! Feng Yi Xuan while holding Lan You Nian walked into the cave. He found a rtively clean spot to put Lan You Nian down, then he found some firewood near the entrance of the cave and masterfully started a fire. The swelling fire illuminated the entire cave, adding a bit of warmth to the cold cave.
Do you want to take a nap? Feng Yi Xuan asked, then with blushing ears asked, The ground is dirty. How about I hug you while you sleep?
Lan You Nian didnt think that Feng Yi Xuan was a lustful person. Her current immature body didnt have anything worth lusting after. But even if Lan You Nian didnt have any vignce against Feng Yi Xuan, even as much as she was used to this man, but to sleep in a mans arms, she was unable to do.
No need, a night will pass by soon! Lan You Nian sat next to the fire pit, stoking the fire. The flickering me contrasted against Lan You Nians unearthly face, adding a trace of warmth to it.
Wu, if youre sleepy, just tell me! Feng Yi Xuan didnt argue. He was terrified that he will screw up the rtionship that has finally improved. Taking off his outer robes and draping it on Lan You Nian, he was only left with a thin inner robe as he sat beside Lan You Nian.
The snow mountain is cold at night. You wear it, Im not cold! In the first ce, Lan You Nian wore much more than Feng Yi Xuan so now sitting beside the firepit, she truly didnt feel any cold.
I heard that a girls body is a little weaker and cant stand the cold. You wear it! Feng Yi Xuan said with a rare smile, but it was apparent that the tone in his words did not allow to be rejected. Lan You Nian wasnt ignorant of whats good for her, so obediently wore the clothes as they waited for the arrival of dawn.
After an entire day of ying, Lan You Nian fell asleep against the cold cave walls. Even she didnt expect she would fall asleep in such an unsafe environment. Perhaps because of the man beside her, she felt safe so she can sleep without any reservation.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girl who seemed to be a little tired as she leaned against the wall and fell asleep. He carefully shifted her to lean against his broad shoulders while his arms cradled the girl in his arms, continually warming the cold body of the girl. Lan You Nian seemed to have found a morefortable sleeping position, so her furrowed brows rxed, even slightly leaned into Feng Yi Xuans arms, seeming to be very greedy for the warmth of Feng Yi Xuans body. Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girls cute appearance in his arms and her adorable dependence on him, his expression impossibly soft and tender. His arms tightly cradled the girl, afraid that the girl in his arms will disappear.
Lan You Nian vaguely felt safe. It seemed that if the sky copsed, there would still be someone who will bear it up for her. She unconsciously leaned closer to the warmth. With no nightmares to disturb her sleep, she slept very peacefully. But halfway through the night, Lan You Nians forehead started to sweat, and herplexion became deathly pale.
Feng Yi Xuan fell into a daze as he watched Lan You Nian sleeping in his arms. Later, whether it was because of the soft fragrance in his arms or something else, Feng Yi Xuan dozed off while sitting up. Halfway through the night, he noticed Nian Nians body be colder in his arms. He became wide awake in an instant. He carefully looked over Nian Nian who hasnt woke up yet. Feng Yi Xuan was anxious. Not to mention that Nian Nian suddenly started to sweat cold sword, herplexion was quite pale. What made Feng Yi Xuan even more worried was that he can clearly feel the slight tremor in Nian Nians body. Why are there tremors? Either it was cold, or it hurts!
Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuans voice called softly.
Lan You Nian felt her entire body was chilled to the bone. Her lower abdomen hurt. This kind of pain was not like the pain she experienced every month. Lan You Nian knew the time for the poison to awaken this month hasnt arrived yet. Since it wasnt the poison why does it hurt? Her abdomen felt so painful, the kind of pain that seemed as if people were tearing open her stomach. It made Lan You Nian curl up in difort. A soft voice suddenly drifted into her ear. Lan You Nian struggled to open her eyes.
Coming into view of Lan You Nians eyes was the worry in Feng Yi Xuans concerned eyes. She was currently being held in this mans arms. Lan You Nian did not reject this embrace. Her current body temperature was too cold, and her body felt ufortable. Besides, she trusted Feng Yi Xuan.
Whats wrong? Tell me whats wrong? Nian Nian.... Feng Yi Xuan seeing Nian Nian finally opened her eyes asked immediately. He hated he couldnt find a doctor right now. At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan really hated himself for not learning medical skills. He could only helplessly watch as Nian Nian got sick, but he didnt understand anything.
Lan You Nian only snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms without saying anything. Even she didnt know whats wrong with her. Although she learned medicine with Gui Yi Zi, what she learned most was martial arts. Her medical skills werent that good, though based on her qualifications if she studied hard, she can surpass Gui Yi.
Just as Lan You Nian felt the pain in her lower abdomen was unbearable, Lan You Nians entire body stiffened, as if experiencing something horrifying. Feng Yi Xuan who was holding Lan You Nian instantly sensed the stiffness of Nian Nians body, his heart aching as he asked, Nian Nian, where does it hurt?
The warm flow from under her made Lan You Nian aware of just what exactly happened. Her menses came for the first time. It came in such an awkward situation. Because of being buried in the snow for several days, the foundation of her body was already frozen. Theing of a womans menses was a curse to her. Her abdominal pain made Lan You Nian unable to get up.
Feng Yi Xuans sensitive nose detected the smell of blood. He was filled with worry, but he didnt know what to do. He kept murmuring, Nian Nian, are you hurt anywhere? Feng Yi Xuan even picked Lan You Nian up to look for a wound.
Lan You Nians trembling body shook even more. It wasnt from pain but from anger. She didnt expect the great and noble Ming wang to be anxiously searching for a wound to put ointment on it when her menses have arrived. Is there anything more thunderous than this? Lan You Nian really wanted to give Feng Yi Xuan a p, but she really didnt have the strength.
Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuan spotted the blood on the hem of Lan You Nians dress. His own clothes were also covered with blood. He worriedly called her, his voice trembled with fear.
Im fine! Lan You Nians face was red. She really didnt know how to exin to Feng Yi Xuan. She was even more embarrassed by the blood on Feng Yi Xuans clothes. Lan You Nian wanted to faint.
How can you be okay? Youre bleeding! Feng Yi Xuan raised his voice slightly. Saying this, he was ready to take off Lan You Nians pants, Is it from falling down that youre injured somewhere? Dont worry, I wont look around. I just want to see your injuries!
Lan You Nian held tightly to her dress, screaming angrily, My menses havee!
Chapter 88
88 Taking Care of Her

Feng Yi Xuan seemed to have heard something inconceivable. He didnt seem to know what to do as he held Lan You Nian in his arms. Not only was the tip of his ears blushing, but even his white jade face was also red. His eyes drifted everywhere, except they did not dare tond on Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian was in so much pain she didnt notice Feng Yi Xuans embarrassed expression. She curled up even tighter in Feng Yi Xuans arms. In respects to fighting in wars, Feng Yi Xuan was unparalleled, but he didnt know what to do in this situation. He can only ask uneasily, Nian Nian? Is it painful? Can I help you?
Feng Yi Xuan ced his big warm hands on Lan You Nians lower abdomen that she was clutching and gently massaged it. The warm internal force slowly entered Lan You Nians body from the hand. After a while, Lan You Nian felt her abdomen felt much better. At least it didnt feel so painful anymore. But with a slight shift, she realized the warm flow under her became even more intense. Lan You Nian wanted to cry. She didnt know what women of this time period did when their menses came.
Lan You Nian endured the difort in her body and sat up slowly, her whole body was still enveloped by Feng Yi Xuans arms. Lan You Nian nced at the blood on Feng Yi Xuans clothes, awkwardly muttered, Your clothes.... Men of this era thought womens menses were unlucky, not to mention the clothes of a wangye were contaminated by these.
The hand that Feng Yi Xuan ced on Lan You Nians abdomen to gently massage it did not stop. His eyes assessed Lan You Nians expression, afraid his movements were too light or too heavy, making Lan You Nian feel ufortable. Hearing Lan You Nians words, Feng Yi Xuan nced at his clothes. Without any disgusted expression, that serious mysophobia has disappeared.
The clothes are fine, are you better? Feng Yi Xuan asked worriedly. He never knew womens menses would be so painful; Feng Yi Xuan was anxious.
Much better! Lan You Nian didnt scold him that it was improper for men and women to be touching, that they shouldnt be like this. She simply allowed Feng Yi Xuans abundant inner force to saturate her abdomen to relieve the pain.
Is it painful like this every time? Feng Yi Xuan asked with heartache. He reminded himself that as soon as he returned, he must find out why women hurt so much when they have their menses and if there was any way to cure such pain?
This is my first time, how would I know? Lan You Nian had anger but no strength as she stretched on Feng Yi Xuans chest, muttering unhappily.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt know what he was feeling in his heart. Womens menses showed that a woman has matured, from a girl into a woman. His Nian Nians first bleeding came when she was by his side. He was the first to know. There was a strange feeling in Feng Yi Xuans heart as if because he knew more about the woman in his arms, he felt content.
Lan You Nian could feel the blood on the clothes under her became more and more intense. It wasnt a good idea to let it continue like this. She tried to think back to Lan Qu and the others. The thing they used their menses seemed to be made of cloth. In this case, Lan You Nian can only think of a way to make do with what she had.
How could Feng Yi Xuans sensitive nose not be aware of the abnormality of Nian Nians body? He felt very awkward. He didnt know these things at all. When the pce mama teaching the matters about men and women came to the wangfu to exin these things, Feng Yi Xuan didnt even allow her to enter the doors of Ming wangfu. Now, he didnt have a clue.
After careful consideration, Feng Yi Xuan took off his robes andid them on the thick grass floor and carefully ced Lan You Nian on top of it. Wearing a white inner robe, Feng Yi Xuan started to tear his only clothing. Lan You Nian, seeing this, was stunned, asked in confusion, What are you doing?
Wu...., Feng Yi Xuans hand stiffened. In the darkness of the night, one can still see the tips of his ears turn red. He nced embarrassingly at Lan You Nian. He hesitated a moment before saying, Im helping you make a menses pad! Although he didnt know how to do these things, Feng Yi Xuan was very clever. Seeing there was more and more blood on Nian Nians clothes, he knew there was a definite need of the legendary menses pad. In this mountain cave, there was no way nor was there anyone to ask, so Feng Yi Xuan can only tear open his quality inner clothing to make these for Nian Nian to make do with.
You... Lan You Nian sat on the carpeted ground while wrapped in Feng Yi Xuans cloak. That man tore his own snow-white inner clothing next to the fire. With blushing ears, he arranged every strip of cloth to make a simple menses pad. Clearly, it was a ridiculous picture, but it left a profound memory in Lan You Nians heart. Perhaps because women while on their menses were indeed fragile, Lan You Nian felt that Feng Yi Xuan was unusually tall and seemed to be able to hold up her entire sky.
Its done... Feng Yi Xuan handed the finished menses pad to Lan You Nian. Even his hands were all red. Feng Yi Xuans hands have gripped the best quality sable brush, have held the finest swords, given directions to ten million of soldiers on the battlefield, but they have never done right a womans affairs.
Lan You Nian looked at that pair of white, broad palms holding a ridiculous, clumsily made menses pad. The man in front of her seemed to be embarrassed, his gaze on her seemed to be filled with trepidation. Lan You Nian took it from him with a flushed face.
Nian Nian, do you need me to help you? Feng Yi Xuan turned around, not looking at Lan You Nian who was preparing to use the menses pad. He seemed to be aware that his question wasnt appropriate and hurriedly exined, Im not trying to take advantage of Nian Nian. Im only afraid Nian Nians body doesnt feel well, cant do it well, so...although I dont know how to do it either, but...I...
Feng Yi Xuan wanted to exin but didnt know how to go about exining it. He babbled for a long time but wasnt able to rify. This was probably the first time Feng Yi Xuan has tried to exin something but been unable to exin it clearly.
How can Lan You Nian not understand Feng Yi Xuans meaning? Looking at Feng Yi Xuan, who was stumbling to exin himself, though herplexion was deathly pale, her eyes were full of warmth, No problem, I understand!
Oh, thats good! Feng Yi Xuan was relieved. He was afraid Nian Nian will think him a dissolute young man. In the future, if he wanted to marry Nian Nian, it will be difficult.
Lan You Nian fiddled with it for a while before she understood how to use this menses pad of the ancient times. It was indeed troublesome! After such a torment, Lan You Nian can clearly feel her abdomen beginning to hurt again. Her body became colder.
Im done, you can turn around! Lan You Nians entire body shifted closer to the fire as she told Feng Yi Xuan who didnt move an inch with his back facing her.
Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nians voice. Instantly he turned around and sped to Lan You Nians side. He picked up Lan You Nian who was sitting on the clothes, continue to massage Lan You Nians abdomen and transfer his inner force.
Seeing Feng Yi Xuan was only wearing a thinyer of inner clothing that was torn apart into tatters by Feng Yi Xuan, revealing the vigorous and robust skin underneath. Lan You Nian picked up the robes on the ground, Put it on, you might catch a cold!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt refuse. He knew this wasnt the time to be particr about things. He picked up the robes and quickly put them on, then holding Lan You Nian, he headed closer to the fire so Nian Nian who felt cold could be warmer.
Go to sleep, tomorrow Ill bring you out! With one hand, Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian while the other hand massaged Lan You Nians abdomen. He coaxed her gently.
Lan You Nian hummed in agreement then snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms to sleep. Although she did not fall fast asleep, it can be considered a peaceful rest. The glow of the fire set off the twos silhouette against the mottled cave wall. The mutually entangled shadow made those who saw it feel inexplicable warm as if nothing in the world can separate the two.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Nian Nian in his arms. He simply motionlessly watched her for an entire night. He noticed that if he moved just slightly, Lan You Nian would instantly wake up, so Feng Yi Xuan maintained the position that made Lan You Nian mostfortable. He sat like that for a whole night. His eyes were filled entirely with Lan You Nian. He found the woman in his arms was blindingly bright like an elf, transparent as crystal, seemingly fragile, but actually tough. No matter which one she was, they all made him unable to look away.
Before the sky brightened, Lan You Nian woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was confronted with Feng Yi Xuans intense gaze. Lan You Nian eyes narrowed, prepared to strike but the strangeness in her body forced Lan You Nian to remember what happened yesterday and her embarrassment.
Youre awake? Feng Yi Xuans lifted Lan You Nian up. Lan You Nian could clearly feel the stiffness of Feng Yi Xuans arm. It seemed this person didnt budge as he let her sleep for a night.
En, its almost dawn! Lan You Nian stood up and walked towards the opening watching the moon fade away outside.
Find the way out now? Although Feng Yi Xuan wanted to stay like this with Nian Nian with just the two of them spending time together, Nian Nians body was in difort. Besides, Nian Nian looked anxious. She was probably afraid that Lan Mo Xian and the others would worry.
En lets get, Lan You Nian headed out the cave after she finished speaking, but she didnt take a few steps before she was prevented from taking another step by Feng Yi Xuan.
Hn? Lan You Nians current rtionship with Feng Yi Xuan had some elusive ambiguity, but she didnt get angry because of Feng Yi Xuans intervention.
I will carry you on my back. Youre not feeling well! Feng Yi Xuan bent down his back. The broad back appeared in front of Lan You Nians eyes. It was impossible for people like them to show their backs to other people unless that person was someone you trusted.
No need! Lan You Nian refused. She knew Feng Yi Xuan has not slept for an entire night. Not only that, but he also consumed a lot of internal force to warm her body. There were also injuries on his back. How could Lan You Nian allow Feng Yi Xuan to carry her on his back?
Then I will hold you! Feng Yi Xuan said without allowing Lan You Nian to refuse. He picked up Lan You Nian. Speaking of which, Feng Yi Xuan was quite clever. In the past, he didnt dare to touch Lan You Nian and trigger Lan You Nians dislike. Now he seized the opportunity and correctly gauged her reaction. Although sometimes he would get close to Lan You Nian, he wont overstep his bounds, allowing Lan You Nian to slowly adapt to him, get used to him, then slowly fall in love with him.
The more Lan You Nian struggled, the tighter Feng Yi Xuan held her. Lan You Nian will not really hurt Feng Yi Xuan so she can onlyply with him. Feng Yi Xuan seeing Lan You Nian has quieted down and obediently stayed in his arms, the corner of his lips curled upwards. Therge ck cloak wrapped around Lan You Nian tightly, only revealing the peerless face.
Master! An Er and An Si appeared in the valley with a group of ck-clothed people. Seeing Feng Yi Xuan, they knelt on the ground, Subordinate iste. Ask master for punishment!
En. Feng Yi Xuan nodded, still holding Lan You Nian as he continued walking.
Lan You Nian nced at the people kneeling on the ground. She recognized An Er and An Si, but the others didnt look like Ming wangfus guards. The murderous intent exuding from their body was too thick, and the hidden technique wasnt bad. Their eyes were too cold.
Miss Lan is fine right? An Er asked with worry. When they heard An Yis news saying master and Miss Lan fell from the cliff, everyone was scared. Then he used the power of the Ghost Realm to search for master and Miss Lan. Fortunately, they found master and Miss Lan.
Many of the subordinates looked like theyve seen a ghost when they saw their masters gentle look. The most they saw of their master was his indifferent silence or when he was ruthlessly killing people. When have they seen master being so carefully caring of a female? Indeed if you live long enough, you can see anything.
Thank you for your concern, Im fine! a crisp voice came from Feng Yi Xuans chest. Lan You Nian got down from Feng Yi Xuans arms and stood in front of everyone. Everyone was curious about what the girl their master loved was like, then everyone sucked in a breath.
That face was so beautiful that it can make all the colors in between heaven and earth disappear. That face was exquisite beyond belief, it was a face that cant even use the saying being able to lead to the destruction of a country to describe. Her white skin seemed to be the finest white ceramics. The slender arched eyebrows under that profound eyes emitted indifference appears to be like a fairy from the ninth heavenly pce. She didnt seem like a human woman at all. Although she was a little disheveled, that surrounding aura could crush them-men who lived on the edge of the de. She was indeed worthy of being the person master liked.
Miss Lan, your face... An Yi and An Si were surprised. They all thought Miss Lans face was disfigured but didnt expect that Miss Lans real face was beautiful to the point of being out of this world. Much less say this entire Feng kingdom, probably no one canpare in this whole continent. Miss Lans bearing no other female canpare.
You dont want your eyes anymore? Feng Yi Xuan looked in displeasure at his subordinates looking in awe at Nian Nian. Inside, he was in a bad mood. He thought it was better for Nian Nian to wear a veil in the future.
All the subordinates lowered their eyes afraid their master really will do so, but just one look was enough to awe them.

When the group walked out of the snow mountain, leaving behind Tian Du Peak, they noticed waiting anxiously at the bottom of the mountain stood An Yi, An San, Lan Mo Xian, Yu Liu Li, and Hua Mu Qing.
From the moment An Yi sent out the news to An Er and the others, An Er formed a search party consisting of people from the Ghost Realm to search separately. Not long ago, they received news from An Er saying the two have been found. They now wait here.
When she saw Feng Yi Xuan appear in front of them carrying Lan You Nian, Hua Mu Qings entire body nearly copsed to the ground. Fortunately, Lan Mo Xian who was standing beside her supported her weight, helped her to stand up just barely.
Nianer meimei! The several people ran to Feng Yi Xuan, inspecting Lan You Nian who was wrapped entirely in Feng Yi Xuans clothes, Nianer meimei, are you hurt?
Its nothing! I will take her back to Ming wang manor first! Finished, Feng Yi Xuan was going to leave Lan You Nian but how can Lan Mo Xian be reassured? The traces of blood on Feng Yi Xuans clothes were tantly obvious. Feng Yi Xuan did not appear injured so the one injured must be Nianer meimei.
Nianer meimei, what happened? Hua Mu Qing fell down to her knees in front of Feng Yi Xuan, with snot running down her face as she fixated her eyes on Lan You Nian who was in Feng Yi Xuans arms.
It wasnt that Lan You Nian didnt want to speak. The pain in her abdomen was too much for her to bear. It seemed like the whole world was unraveling. She didnt have the energy to speak. The warm flow under her was quite intense so she couldnt move casually at all. She was afraid the blood on her clothes will scare everyone. She only wanted everyone to see that she was fine so they didnt need to worry anymore, but she didnt expect Hua Mu Qing to feel so worried and guilty. She could only helplessly let Feng Yi Xuan help her out of his arms, allowing everyone to see her real face.
Without any surprise, she heard the others suck in their breaths. Lan You Nian truly felt her face was a curse. She didnt want to hide from the others, so she showed them her real face, but if every single time she encountered such a reaction, Lan You Nian felt a headacheing on.
Although the others were shocked by Lan You Nians real face, they were more concerned about Lan You Nians body. Hua Mu Qing detected the blood on Lan You Nians clothes, and it was apparent it wasnt Feng Yi Xuans blood, so she hastily tugged on Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei, are you hurt? Sorry, sorry, sorry....
Lan You Nian felt that her menses didnte at the right time. Its fine that Feng Yi Xuan misunderstood but everyone else misunderstood too! Lan You Nian didnt know how to exin, and she was also too embarrassed to exin.
When Feng Yi Xuan saw Hua Mu Qing acting like this, he recalled all the stupid things he did. Promptly, irritation welled up when he saw Nian Nians body seemed to be in more difort as her face paled. Unhappily, he reached out his arms to hold Lan You Nian again and said to everyone else and Hua Mu Qing, Its only a small injury. This wang will take Nian Nian back. If were dyed, Nian Nian will be worse off!
Hua Mu Qing detected that Lan You Nians face was deathly pale while she was cradled in Feng Yi Xuans arms. Her brows furrowed and she felt even more guilty inside. However, she knew the most important thing was to return to the manor to find a doctor.
Mu Qing jiejie, big brother, Big brother Yu, An Yi, An San, Im fine. Dont worry, Im just a little tired, Lan You Nian turned to face these people who were feeling incredibly guilty and smiled, then turned to Hua Mu Qing, Mu Qing jiejie, this isnt your fault so dont feel guilty. Since we are friends, if it were me today, I trust Mu Qing jiejie will do the same and save Nianer right?
Hua Mu Qing nodded, and nodded even harder as she smiled, Yes, I will definitely save Nianer meimei!
Since this is the case, Mu Qing jiejie doesnt need to feel guilty. Go back to sleep then bring some delicious food to supplement Nianer! Lan You Nian finished saying this and leaned tiredly on Feng Yi Xuans chest closing her eyes.
Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nians body was in great difort and carried Nian Nian onto the ck horse and galloped away.
Lan Mo Xian and the others have dyed their departure for a while. Everyone was disheveled. They returned to the capital in the carriage An Er arranged for them. Although they were reassured with having found Lan You Nian, they were still worried about Lan You Nians injuries. They were going back to the capital to Ming wang manor to see Lan You Nian.
On the one hand, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to return to the capital to find a doctor to take a look at Nian Nian as soon as possible, but he was afraid the jolts of the horse will make Nian Nian ufortable. Feng Yi Xuan stabilized Lan You Nian in his arms and tried his hardest to make the horse ride less bumpy. Lan You Nian was aware of Feng Yi Xuans worries. It warmed her heart.
I am not so delicate. Go back quickly. If this continues, you wont have any clothes left for me to tear! Lan You Nian made a rare joke.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nians words, he promptly remembered how he made a menses pad for Nian Nianst night. His eyes drifted to Lan You Nians bottom half, his ears instantly reddened and said embarrassingly, The clothes are fine. Just dont feel clean after one day without taking a bath!
Hahahaha! Lan You Nian was amused by Xuans serious tone. How can there be such a man? He was so aloof yet was so warm and considerate to her. When answering her questions, he will seriously ponder it before answering. Lan You Nian liked his seriousness.
Dont choke withughter! Feng YI Xuan didnt think the words he said was funny. His words were only the truth.
When Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into Ming wang manor, An Yi and the other three already returned to Ming wang manor. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian straight into his room. As Lan You Nian was being carried by Feng Yi Xuan, she instructed An Yi and the others, Bring my servant girl over!
Since her menses havee, then she can only have Lan Wue over to ask her. Just let Lan Wu make some menses pad for her. She really cant make those things.
It was still the same room as Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into the inner room, but Lan You Nian noticed Feng Yi Xuan has expanded it a lot. It was originally arge and luxurious room. Now it was even more spacious. Lan You Nian was surprised when Feng Yi Xuan twisted the ink-b on the desk, a wall of the inner room opened from both sides. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian inside. Lan You Nian noticed there was a hot spring pool bath inside. In the imperial pce, only the Emperor and Empress had this treatment. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to have it here.
Feng Yi Xuan scrutinized the bathing pool made of warm jade and nodded in satisfaction. Since thest time Nian Nian took a bath here, he expanded this room he has used for so many years. He speciallymissioned people to build this bathing pool made of warm jade. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to draw out this hot spring from the mountain behind Ming wang manor. Now bringing Nian Nian here again, it was just in time to use it. Nian Nian can use this warm the hot spring water to soak, and with the added herbs in the pool, it would be good for Nian Nian.
Gently cing Lan You Nian on the soft couch beside the hot spring, Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips, Ill bring clothes for you! Within moments, Feng Yi Xuan ced a few white pieces of clothing on the soft couch Lan You Nian sat on. It included the inner robe, outer robe, the skirt, and what made Lan You Nian red-faced was that the dudou was in there too. If there were lightning at this moment, Lan You Nian would definitely be struck unconscious.
Feng Yi Xuans preparation of these things was very awkward. Because these were Nian Nians personal things, he didnt allow his subordinates to handle it but personally saw to it that the embroideresses made it. The embroideresses were so scared when he very severely described the style to them that their hands holding the needle shook.
When Feng Yi Xuan shut the wall behind him, Lan You Nian changed out of her dirty clothes and immersed her entire body in the hot spring...
Lan Wu who has been retrieved by An Er anxiously waited a few meters outside Feng Yi Xuans room in Ming wang manor. She knew her familys young miss and this Ming wangs rtionship was good, but one must still be vignt. Besides, the shadow guard who brought her over said the situation was urgent.
As soon as Feng Yi Xuan came out of the room, he said to Lan Wu who was standing there, The things! He knew what Nian Nian called this servant girl over to Ming wang manor for. It must be for her menses, so while Nian Nian was taking a bath, he came out.
Wheres young miss? Lan Wu didnt know Feng Yi Xuan say things were, she only concerned about her own young miss why didnt shee out.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt want to talk more than necessary with this servant girl, but he knew she was one of Nian Nians people so he cant get angry. He snapped impatiently, Nian Nians menses havee. The things!
Lan Qu finally realized why young miss called her over. They were young misss personal servants, having served her for many years so naturally, they knew their young misss menses havente yet. Now that it has happened, she didnt know what to do. Although Lan Wu wanted to enter the room to see young miss, due to Feng Yi Xuans pressure, she went to make the menses pad.
A whileter Lan Wu appeared again. In her hand was a parcel. Feng Yi Xuan unceremoniously snatched it and walked back into the room. An Er appeared and took Lan Wu to another ce to wait. After all, master disliked women. If he identally killed Miss Lan Wu, it wont be good.
After Feng Yi Xuan took the things into the room, he didnt immediately hand them to Lan You Nian. Instead, he opened the parcel to take a look at the legendary menses pad. He thought, next time, he will personally make such private things make for Nian Nian. He cant allow other people to intervene in such a thing. Thus in theing days every time Lan You Nians time of the month hase, she only used the best quality menses pads that were personally made by the great and noble Ming wang. This matter stunned Lan You Nian for quite a while. It made Feng Yi Xuans shadow guards scared to the point they almost want to collectively jump off a cliff. How did their great master be like this?
Lan You Nian wiped clean her body. She suddenly heard the sound of knocking outside and asked softly, What? She knew the one knocking must be Feng Yi Xuan
I will put the things here! Feng YI Xuan opened a gap in the wall to put the parcel in then closed the wall, afraid will see something he shouldnt, but Feng Yi Xuan still caught the scent of Nian Nians body fragrance from the warm air. Feng Yi Xuans body tightened.
Lan You Nian opened the parcel. When she saw the things inside the parcel, her cheeks that had flushed from taking a bath became even more vibrant....
By the time Lan You Nian came out, Feng Yi Xuan already bathed and sorted himself out. When he saw Lan You Nians long hair draping down to her thighs were still dripping with water, he sighed and promptly took out a white towel from a cab and meticulously dried Lan You Nians hair. Lan You Nian did not reject Feng Yi Xuans actions. She knew Feng Yi Xuan was stubborn and wont ept refusal.
When Feng Yi Xuan dried Lan You Nians hair, he noticed Lan You Nian seemed to be in difort. He was going to get a doctor when his sleeves were tugged by Lan You Nian.
Behave, let a doctor take a look! Feng Yi Xuan coaxed. After all, if Lan You Nian didnt feel well, he didnt feel well inside either.
Im really fine. I understand medicine. I just need to sleep! Lan You Nian said weakly. She didnt lie. Although her medical skills werent as good as Gui Yis butpared to ordinary doctors, it was much better. This pain was due to the severe hypothermia she suffered from when she was young. It cant be cured. Her body can only be nursed back to health gradually.
Is there a way to make it not hurt? Feng Yi Xuan trusted Nian Nians medical skills but dont other people say that doctors cant self-medicate. He was still worried.
This is just physical reasons. In the future, it can be nursed better! Lan You Nian exined.
Feng Yi Xuan was aware of Lan You Nians stubbornness, so he carried Lan You Nian to the bed, tucked her in, and said warmly, Sleep! then continued to use internal force to warm Lan You Nians body.
Although your internal force is deep, it cant be used like this. Im fine! Lan You Nian stopped Feng Yi Xuans actions insistently. Although she was moved by Feng Yi Xuans actions, she had her limits. Last nights output of internal force for a whole night, if continued, will more or less wear down Feng Yi Xuans internal force. She felt uneasy.
En! Feng Yi Xuan lightly patted Lan You Nians back. Lan You Nian, under his silent concern, fell asleep peacefully.
Chapter 90
90 Return to the Manor
May 12, 2019
secretdreamwishes
A soft cool breeze stirred in the quiet garden, a beautiful female sat on the smooth round stone, long eyshes covered smooth skin, allowing the breeze to blow her tamed hair, the sun shone on the exquisite face, quiet and distant.
After Feng Yi Xuan returned to the room and did not find Lan You Nian, he came to the garden and saw the girl of his heart sitting there, so beautiful it was heart-stirring. In thest three to four days, he had Nian Nian living in Ming wang manor, living with him as she nursed her body. Lan You Nian wasnt aware that at night, Feng Yi Xuan did not go to another room to rest. Instead, he stood outside the door guarding her as if he was a shadow guard. Even if Nian Nian didnt know, he would feel reassured. After the shadow guards of the manor saw this, no one in the manor didnt know how much their master loved this Miss Lan, to the extent he would do this for her.
I should go back! When Lan You Nian heard the footsteps behind her, she opened her mouth. To tell the truth, in Ming wang manor thesest few days, Lan Yu Nian was enjoying herself, Feng Yi Xuans exceedingly thoughtful care, besides Ming wang manor did not have any of those annoying things, but now that her menses have passed, and her body is better, she should go back. After all, there were still people who havent been dealt with yet.
Oh! Feng Yi Xuan sat down beside Lan You Nian. Although on the surface he agreed, the aura of displeasure was undeniable around him. Thesest few days allowed him to feel like he was in a dream. Every night he can see Nian Nian sleeping peacefully. When she woke up, the moment Nian Nian opened the door, the first thing she saw was him. He could apany Nian Nian to share meals. He wished every day was like this, but he knew he could not. Even if he wanted Nian Nian to live in Ming wang manor, he wanted to marry in Nian Nian grandly into the manor, letting the whole world know that Nian Nian was his. She can only be his.
Master, fourth wangye and Lan Mo Xian are waiting outside asking for an audience! An Yi appeared in front of the two and reported the matter. In thesest few days, he didnt know how many times Lan Mo Xian waited outside the manor silently asking to be seen. After all, no one was aware of their return to the capital, so Lan Mo Xian and the others can only secretlye to Ming wang manor to wait. An Yi and the others understood what Lan Mo Xian must be feeling. After all, such a beautiful little sister was brought into Ming wang manor by their master, it would be strange if he werent worried! Its a pity that his master refuses to admit him in, even if he tried to break in, he wont seed. He can only bring over fourth wangye and the others. It seems he has be really anxious.
Feng Yi Xuan coldly nced at An Yi. He didnt like to have other people disturb his time with Nian Nian. This An Yi has be more and more negligent.
An Yi pulled a long face and looked at Lan You Nian. They knew if master wanted to discipline them, with one word from Miss Lan, everything would be alright. In the heart of their master, what rules, what principles! Theyre not as important as Miss Lan.
Lan You Nian could tell An Yi was looking to her for help, smiled slightly, Xuan, can you let older brother and the otherse in? Older brother is probably worried to death thesest few days!
Usually, Nian Nian will not call him Xuan, so now if Lan You Nian just calls him this, Feng Yi Xuan felt that even if she wanted his life, he was willing to give it without hesitation much less asking him to agree to something. Look, Lan You Nian just called him, and Feng Yi Xuan nodded at An Yi.
An Yi secretly snickered. He just knew that no matter how unhappy master was, as long as Miss Lan says a word, then he will agree to it. Ai, master really has no backbone!
When An Yi came to Ming wang manors front hall, he noticed there stood a lot of people, Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, He Chu Yang, Lan Mo Xian, and even Yu Liu Li was all not afraid of death, wanting to join in the fun. An Yi could sense fourth wangye and heir Jing Wu Ans tant curiosity.
Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An were indeed curious. Formerly, their desire to go to the snow mountain to y was suppressed by Feng Yi Xuan. Forced to stay in the capital, they felt displeased in their hearts. Then when they heard the two fell from the mountain slope, they were exceedingly worried. When they heard the two were fine, they were finally reassured. But several days ago, Yu Liu Li told them their Nianer meimeis real face was unparalleled in the world. When they heard this, their hearts itched. Both of them wanted to see Nianer meimeis real face. But aftering a few times, they could onlye to the front hall to drink tea. The words they received was that Nianer meimeis injury hasnt healed yet. She needed to peacefully nurse her health. Hearing this, they were even more worried.
Currently, Lan Mo Xian was not only worried, but he was also irritated. His little sister was injured, yet he wasnt allowed to see her, fine! But what was this? Living in Ming wang manor? Although Ming wang was his master, he can not be so casual. Nianer meimei was still a female. If people knew, it would be detrimental to Nianer meimeis maiden reputation ah!
Wangye, master allows everyone to go in, An Yi said to the crowd of people. The group did not wait for An Yi to the way and hurried to the garden.
Nianer meimei! Lan Mo Xian anxiously went forward to see Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian saw everyones concern for her, smiled slightly and greeted them, Thank you for everyones concern. Nianer is fine!
As Lan You Nian expected, she once again heard loud gasps. Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, and He Chu Yang gaped at her with wide eyes.
Nianer meimei, it turns out youre so beautiful! Feng Xia Qi praised. They all admired at Lan You Nian. Silky ink ck hair draped down to the waist, dressed in a white silk robe, cor and sleeves embroidered with a strange red flower they have never seen, ck eyebrows, smoky eyes, a fine nose, lips like cinnabar, the white skin of her face matched the snow, watery as if a honey peach. It made people cant help but want to take a bite.
Hehe, when did fourth wangye learn these honeyed words? Lan You Nian was not shy, straightforwardly joked with Feng Xia Qi.
He often uses these words to win favor with women, flowery words. Nian Nian shouldnt be fooled! Feng Yi Xuan red in disdain at his royal brother then started to ruin his own royal brothers image in Lan You Nians ear. He didnt felt nothing in his conscious that this was his own brother.
Ai, AXuan when did you learn to lie? I only said these words to Nianer meimei. Wu An arent I right? Feng Xia Qi was stunned by his imperial brothers bare faced lie. To leave a good impression in Nianer meimeis heart, he dragged Jing Wu An in to testify for him.
Jing Wu An wanted to prove that Feng Xia Qi wasnt that kind of person who said flowery words, but a nce at his good friend Feng Yi Xuans slight smile, Jing Wu An trembled, then without any backbone said, I dont know if fourth wangye you have said this to other women. Maybe you have?
You-Jing Wu An-you are good, even you are like this? Feng Xia Qi really cant exin himself, his fox eyes locked on Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei, you believe Qi gege right?
Wu, who knows? Lan You Nian smiled. Everyone seemed so friendly, there was no estrangement from being deceived about her face. This made Lan You Nian feel relieved.
It is a blessing that Nianer meimeis face is fine. For this matter, I dont know how worried grandfather has been. He often searches for doctors outside, hoping to restore Nianer meimeis looks, He Chu Yang was also shocked by his cousin-sisters appearance. He knew his aunts looks were beautiful but didnt expect Nianer meimeis looks to be so beautiful.
Nianer was willful. I hope cousin-brother wont say anything. After a few days, I will personally tell grandfather! Speaking of this grandfather, Lan You Nian felt guilty. She was aware of this elders sincerity towards her. When she hid these things from him, she did not consider the elders feelings. She has indeed been willful.
Cousin-brother doesnt me you. Nianer meimei you have wandered for so many years outside. You dont talk about what you experienced, neither do we ask. But from now on we will support you! He Chu Yang saw his cousin-sister was safe and sound felt relieved. He only had one sister. If something happened to her, not to mention grandfather, even he would be distressed.
Nianer meimei, are you feeling better? Hua Mu Qing with red eyes stepped in front of Lan You Nian without her previous liveliness. Her gaze on Lan You Nian was like she was looking at a little white rabbit, afraid of frightening Lan You Nian.
Where is there any problem? Mu Qing jiejie is too worried! Lan You Nian stood up and walked to Hua Mu Qings side, letting Hua Mu Qing see clearly that her body was fine.
But that day, there was so much blood. It really scared me! Hua Mu Qing saw the color of Lan You Nians face was already much better, and her movement seemed to be unobstructed, but thinking of Nianer meimei being wrapped up in Ming wangs arms that day, she was terrified.
Cough! Lan You Nian coughed in embarrassment. Feng Yi Xuan, seeing this, grew worried and looked down at coldly at Hua Mu Qing, said with dissatisfaction, Its in the past, dont mention it!
Hua Mu Qing has always been afraid of Ming wang, so when Feng Yi Xuan said this, she hid behind Lan Mo Xian, not daring to ask again, but when Feng Yi Xuan wasnt looking, she stuck her tongue out at Lan You Nian. She seemed to have walked out of her guilt.
Nianer meimei go back today with older brother. After all, weve been ying outside for quite a while, people will be suspicious if we dont go back, and father... Lan Mo Xian thought of the many times father asked him what injuries little sister received. He nearly brought his troops to attack Ming wang manor. Luckily, he was able to stop him.
I feel much better. I nned to go back today. Recently has there been many people monitoring Lan manor? Lan You Nian interrupted her brothers attempt to say nice things about Lan Jian Jun. She consciously knew that she was bing closer and closer to this father, perhaps this wasnt a good sign.
Everyone could see that Lan You Nian deliberately interrupted Lan Mo Xians words. With mutual looks at each other, they understood. Each family had its own problems. They cant tell Nianer meimei what she was doing was right or wrong, but since they were friends, they will support her.
Yes, the Empresss faction knows Lan manor has taken a stand with fourth wangyes faction, so recently outside Lan manor, there are always some sneaky people monitoring us! Lan Mo Xian frowned. They grew up in the military so they can detect the feeling of being monitored by others.
It seems the Empress faction temporarily cant touch AXuan and me, so they want to make a move on Lan manor. After all Lan manors threat is too great! Feng Xia Qi felt very guilty. After all, General Lan lived a lifetime of uprightness. If it was because of the fight for the throne that caused him, caused Lan manor to be wronged, it was underserved!
Even if Lan manor doesnt stand with Brother Qis faction, the Empress will not let go of Lan manor. Lan manor has military power. General Lan also has the love of themon people. Such a Lan manor even it doesnt take a stand with either party, it is still a threat. Since the Empresss faction cant bring Lan manor under their control, no matter what, they will get rid of Lan manor. This is obvious isnt it? Lan You Nian analyzed impressively, stunning the several men present. After all most women do not understand the matters of court. Even such a bold woman like Hua Mu Qing didnt understand it entirely, but now this girl only thirteen years old in the short months of her return to the capital can see through it, really unexpected.
But older brother submits to the authority of fourth wangyes faction with no other intention. I ask Qi gege not to be suspicious. This Feng nation needs an upright ruler, and gege will be a loyal general! Lan You Nians words exined why Lan manor will submit to Ming wangyes faction, not because of being forced by the situation but willingly.
I know Nianer meimeis meaning. Not every person in the position of power is suspicious. This wang trusts Lan manor and trusts Mo Xian, Feng Xia Qi smiled.
Brother, remove all the spies belonging to the Empress outside Lan manor. Its best to leave only leave one or two. Kill the others! Lan You Nian when speaking of this was full of murderous and killing intent. That was a person of power with decisiveness and means. How many experiences of life and death was needed to have such a killing intent? It made everyones hearts chill.
Let me handle this! Feng Yi Xuan said. Lan You Nian nodded. Feng Yi Xuans power was indeed much stronger than Lan manors. He can do it without anyone being aware. This will be a warning to the Empresss faction.
Why not kill all of them? Why leave one or two? He Chu Yang was puzzled. He was now Ming wangs subordinate, so naturally was part of fourth wangyes faction. Although grandfather didnt participate in the disputes between the factions, at first he too did not want to be part of it but was forced to participate. The Empresss faction cannot amodate neutral parties.
If the Empress wants to monitor Lan manor then she wont give up. Kill one group, there will still be another batch. Since this is the case, its better to leave the ones we know and give them what news we want them to know. This way its more convenient doing things isnt it? Lan You Nian and the others sat at the stone table. Everyone nodded in agreement with this analysis.
Then why kill the other people? Isnt it better to leave them? Hua Mu Qing asked puzzled.
Too many people in too many ces, inevitably they will able to detect our affairs. I dont like to be monitored, so they can only be killed. Do you feel Nianer is cruel? Lan You Nian asked. After all, amongst them, all the others hands were stained with blood, probably only this junzhus hands were clean.
Nianer meimei makes older sister too kind. This is a matter of you die or I live. How is it cruel? Hua Mu Qing smiled. The friendship in her eyes did not change.
Lets do this! Feng Yi Xuans unemotional voice dered.
Chapter 91
91 Teaching the Old Madame a Lesson
May 12, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Young miss, the old madame wants to see you! Zhang Lin stood respectfully outside the pavilion, reporting to La You Nian inside.
En, I know, you can go Lan Wu came out to tell Zhang Lin.
How long has young miss been back? The chair hasnt been warmed yet, who knows what wicked ideas this old Madame hase up with! Lan Wu muttered darkly. Thesest few days her young miss has been staying in Ming wang manor. Although she was there too, she didnt have the chance to serve young miss. Just thinking about this, she felt depressed.
Ha, on the surface this old Madame seems to have restrained herself since thest time General Lan chastised her, but in her heart, she hates me. This old woman has nothing to do in the inner courtyard, so her head is filled with messy thoughts. She overthinks and wants to find someone to discipline. I just happen to be the one she wants to discipline! Lan You Nian sipped the tea Lan Wu painstakingly brewed, her tone was chilling to the bone.
She thinks she can discipline our young miss just with herself? Hmph, what a restless old woman! Lan Wu intuitively didnt like this old Madame. Simrly, they were family, but Tutor He gave off an intimate feeling, Then will young miss go?
Since they havee to invite us, why wouldnt we go? If I dont go, they will p the unfilial hat on me. I cant tolerate that! Lan You Nian tidied herself up then headed over to the Old Madames ce.
Young miss cares about these ims? I thought young miss has always beenwless! Lan Wu followed Lan You Nian with a smile on her face. If her familys young miss cared about her reputation, then she wouldnt keep her real face hidden, causing everyone to nder her looks. Young miss seemed to be always indifferent to these remarks.
Who said that? It seems I have led you astray! Lan You Nian scanned Lan Wu up and down. She still remembered what Lan Wu was like when she saved her in the past. This good looking girl was timid and weak, just a tiny move will scare her. But without her knowing, she has changed a lot. When she was met with unfair things, she will always stand in front of her, trying her best to protect her. After so many years of wandering and encountering attacks left and right, she took up a weapon without anyint. She now had her own thoughts.
Thats not the case. Young miss has always given Lan Wu the best. Lan Wu does not dare to ask for more in this life! Lan Wu beamed. When young miss saved them in the past, she did not only saved their physical bodies and gave them life, she gave them hopes and the ability to think for themselves.
The two chatted andughed all the way until soon enough, they arrived at old Madames courtyard...
We must trouble mama to announce third miss hase! Lan Wu said to Wang mama who stood guard outside. Although she disliked this mama, she knew cant act on her own temper. This was the capital, not Wu Qing Pavilion.
Wang mama snuck a peek at Lan You Nian. She no longer dared to neglect Lan You Nian. The memory of what happenedst time was still vivid in her mind. Anyone with eyes can see that Master loved third miss. But with the old Madame still in the manor, who knew who would be the winner in the end?
Third miss, old madame allowed you to go in! Wang mama said to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian nodded and was going to take Lan Wu in with her into the old Madames chamber. Lan Wu was blocked by Wang mama, Third miss, old madame only allowed you to go in, this girl cant go in!
You.. Lan Wu was furious. She wanted to p Wang mama. No one can make them leave young miss. In this lifetime, they will follow young miss, protect young miss, and take care of young miss forever.
Lan Wu, wait outside. I will be right back! Lan You Nian stopped Lan Wu who was going to burst from fury. Probably only she can calm Lan Wus hot temper when she gets like this. No matter what waits for her inside, she wille out safely.
Young miss be careful, I will go find eldest young master Lan! Although Lan Wu believed in young misss ability, one still must be wary of the tricks yed in the inner courtyard.
No need. If this kind of people can do anything to me, then I would have died years ago! Lan You Nian smiled as she reassured Lan Wu. She wasnt underestimating anyone because those people who you looked down on today will put you to death when you arent looking. She simply didnt allow herself to rely on others, even if it was her brother.
Lan You Nian entered old Madames room and saw the old Madame sitting in the rooms central position, her eyes when theynded on her (LYN) shed with disgust and disdain.
Without any errors, Lan You Nian curtsied. Lan You Nians smile under the veil was strangely bright, Greeting to Old Madame. Why have you called Nianer over?
Why? Does this old woman need a reason to want her granddaughter toe over? You really have stayed in the country for too long. Youve wandered outside for so long that you havent learned even the minimal filial piety? The old Madames tone wasnt good, but she clearly understood her limits and didnt get angry like she did before.
What Nianer learned outside isnt filial piety. Can old Madame guess what Nianer learned outside? Lan You Nian casually sat down, as if this was her own room.
Scandalous! Youre as despicable as your mother! Youre all the good things that He shi woman taught! Old Madame ridiculed. She can say whatever she liked about Lan You Nian, but she cannot say anything about He Xiao Ran. In the past, the betrayal of her mother had chilled her heart. In this life, all she heard about He Xiao Ran was all about her expectations and her unshakeable will to keep this child in her belly. Lan You Nian felt especially close to this mother of hers. Lan You Nian recognized He Xiao Ran as her own mother.
Oh? My mother despicable? My mother is much nobler than the old Madame! Lan You Nians aura chilled, then said faintly, Old Madame, do you know what I learned outside all these years? Nianer learned to kill, especially those people I dont like!
Old Madame felt her body chilled to the bone, then she saw Lan You Nian standing up and took out a sharp dagger. From Old Madames inner chamber, she dragged out a guard. With her own hands, she sliced the guards neck. She watched as the blood that gushed out of the guards neck stain her pure white hands, watched that guard lose his strength little by little, and watched as the old Madame stared at her like she was looking at a demon.
You..you.. Old Madame slumped down on the chair, pointing at Lan you Nian but unable to speak.
Isnt this the nephew Old madames relies heavily on? How can he die so easily? Lan You Nian tossed the dead guard onto the ground. She slowly walked over to Old Madame, Let Nianer guess what Old Madame wants to do today. Oh, its just me a little girl alone in the room, then have this guard control me, and then what?
From Old Madames hands, Lan You pulled out a small pill, Then let him give me this Ye Qing Poison. This Ye Qing Poison isnt easy to obtain. This poison is not fatal but every year requires an antidote. This way old Madame can control me and dispose of me at will, right?
How do you know? Old Madame widened her already turbid eyes. This was precisely what she was thinking. Since thest time her son said those things to her, he didnte to see her again. With her maiden family no longer being valued, she was afraid if this continues her position as old Madame in Lan manor will no longer be stable. Then all the things she fought for all her life would be gone. So she when she saw how much her son valued this third miss, as long as she controlled this third miss then she can definitely hold Lan manor in her hands. Her nephew found this Ye Qing Poison for her. All she had to do was to give the poison to Lan You Nian. Whatever she wants to do, isnt it easy enough to have it done?
How do I know? Because Ive tried it! Lan You Nian stuffed the poison into Old Madames mouth. In the past, An yiniang had given Lan You Nian so many poisons, there were too many to count. Amongst them was the Ye Qing Poison.
You... Old Madame didnt expect Lan You Nian to be so bold, bold enough to poison her.
What about me? I know Old madame has the antidote so you wont die. I dont have the time to control you. If theres a next time, Old Madame, do you see the person on the ground? This will be your ending! Lan You Nians eyes became deep as if the haunted hell dragging old Madame in.
I, I know, I wont again! Although Old Madame was in her old age, she still cherished her life. Having enjoyed her life so many years, how could she bear to die? Lan You Nians actions really frightened her. She was enlightened of Lan You Nians ruthless thoughts and means despite her young age.
One more thing, dont insult my mother again. This is your punishment! Lan You Nian again stuffed a pill into Old Madames mouth.
What did you give me to eat? Didnt you say you wont kill me? Old Madame asked in a panic.
Rx, it isnt fatal. It will only make your throat hurt every night. Its nothing! Finished, Lan You Nian left Old Madames room. She had her own reason for not killing old Madame. Apart of it was because of Lan Jian Jun, but the main reason was that Lan You Nian still remembered a moment in the past when her predecessor was being bullied by Lan Ya and Lan Zhi nearly to the point of death, this old Madame must have lost her mind for she saved Lan You Nian. The predecessors memory of this was profound. For the sake of that little girl, she will give Old Madame onest chance, nothing more.
Young miss! Lan Wu nced worriedly at the fresh blood on her young misss hands.
Not my blood. Have Zhang Line over to handle this. Tell him to handle it cleanly! Saying this, Lan You Nian left Old madames courtyard. She hoped Old Madame was smart enough to notmit more wrongs. But in her heart, she knew that some people were not that obedient. No matter what they do, what awaits them was only torment.
Yes, Lan Wu knew young miss was being naughty again.
Young miss Zhang Lin stood outside the pavilion.
Cleaned up? Lan You Nian asked. Today she was impulsive. If the fact that she casually killed someone were known by An yiniang, there would be more troubles for her in the future. There was also the Empresss faction monitoring their every move outside the manor so they must be careful.
This... Zhang Lin seemed to hesitate.
Young miss let you speak. Hurry and say it. Young miss doesnt like subordinates who stutter! Lan Wu stepped out of the pavilion and reprimanded Zhang Lin.
Young miss, I went to old madames ce to deal with matters however the scene has been cleaned up by Generals people, so subordinate returned! Zhang Lin told the truth.
I know, you can withdraw! Lan You Nians expression did not change the slightest. So what if Lan Jian Jun knew she killed someone? She never thought about concealing her natural self and pretend to be a young miss of the boudoir. Whatever Lan Jian Jun thought was no concern of hers.
Young miss, it seems General Lan knows! Lan Wu said worriedly. Even if young miss appeared to not care but Lan Jian Jun was still young misss father. Does young miss really not care? Most of the time young miss seems indifferent, but that heart was full of scars.
Didnt you just say this young miss isnt afraid of anything? Now, what are you worried about? I know you are bored. Tonight go see old Madame! Lan You Nian went back to rest on the couch.
Ahthe hoarse cries of old Madames pain traveled out of the courtyard.
Whats wrong with you Old Madame? This old ve will go find a doctor! Wang mama fretted anxiously. She was ready to go find a doctor to take a look but was stopped by old Madame. She has been poisoned. What use was a doctor? Today her sons guards came to deal with the corpse. They didnt say a word. This showed that her son knew what Lan You Nian did but pretended to not know. How can she find a doctor?
Old Madame, what should we do? Wang mama saw old madame dig at her own throat and painfully fall onto the bed.
But old Madame did not have a voice to reply to Wang mama. The pain in her throat tormented Old Madame for two hours before it stopped. Old Madame knew Lan You Nian did not lie. Although this poison didnt take her life, it tortured her endlessly.
Hmph! Deserves it! Lan Qu stood outside the room listening to Old Madames painful cries. Her heart burst with relish.
Chapter 92
92 The Emperors n
May 12, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Your Majesty, Noble Consort Lin requests an audience! Eunuch Lu reported to Emperor Feng Xuan who was currently reviewing memorials.
Whats she doing here? Just say zhen is busy with work. Tell her to go back! Emperor said impatiently. Many consorts were epted into the pce to maintain the bnce between the various powers. Although he enjoyed their different bodies, he only loved one person.
Yes! Eunuch Lu went out to tell Noble Consort Lin what His Majesty said, but Noble Consort Lin did not withdraw and continued to wait outside the imperial study.
Has she left? The Emperor asked his personal eunuch, Eunuch Lu. Towards these consorts, he only went to their pces every night to retire, spreading the rain and dew, but there was no feeling of affection for any of them. He will not give any consort the chance of giving birth to a prince or princess.
Not yet. Noble Consort Lin is still waiting outside. Should this ve have someone send Consort Lin back? Eunuch Lu asked while grinding the ink. He has been with the Emperor for so many years. He was not just a simple servant. Perhaps the only one who truly understood the Emperor wasnt his consorts nor his children but him.
Let her in. This harem cant be peaceful for a single moment! The Emperor put down the memorial, said to Eunuch Lu.
Greetings to Your Majesty! Noble Consort Lin curtsied. Noble Consort Lin was dressed in a red cloud patterned silk with white flowers scattered on the skirt, styled hair inserted with a white yn magnolia jade hairpin, her face tender and eyebrows like spring water.
Beloved consort rise. Why has beloved consorte? Emperor helped up Noble Consort Lin and asked her gently but behind the gentle surface was ruthlessness.
Chenqie has nothing important, only that I miss Your Majesty terribly after so many days without seeing Your Majesty. I specially made some pastries to present them to you. I hope Your Majesty doesnt work too hard and take care of your dragon body! Noble Consort Lin said shyly. It was clearly a young girls actions but she did them with skill and ease.
Beloved consort is thoughtful... Emperor Feng Xuan smiled then to Eunuch Lu, Today zhen will go to Noble Consort Lins ce!
Noble Consort Lins eyes shed with delight. His Majesty did not favor one woman in the harem over the other. Since the former Empress passed away, although the Emperor still entered every consorts pce, no consort has gotten pregnant. There hasnt been a happy event in this imperial pce for a long time. If she got pregnant, then the Empresss position...
Your Majesty... Noble Consort Lin said shyly with a flushed face, but her voice contained endless spring.
Beloved consort is shy, haha, alright, zhen still has state affairs to deal with, beloved consort go back first! Emperor said to Noble Noble Consort Lin.
Your Majesty, chenqie came today with one request to ask of Your Majesty! Noble Consort Lin looked at Emperor obligingly. She knew what kind of women men liked, so she was always considerate and charming, never rebelling against the Emperor.
Oh? Tell me! The Emperors eyes shed with displeasure. What he disliked most was the harem interfering with matters of political affairs. No consort was an exception.
Your Majesty, Cheer is now twenty-three. In the manor, he only has one side consort. Chenqie hopes to find an official consort for Cheer. This way theres someone to take care of Cheer Noble Consort Lin asked, Besides fourth wangye is now twenty-one, and Ming wang neen. Not only dont those two have a side consort, but they also dont even have any concubines. Although chenqie isnt their biological mother, I am worried about the two wangye. Your Majesty, please pick a good marriage for each of the wangye!
Noble Consort Lin was smart. She knew if wanted His Majesty to only sanction marriage for third wangye Feng Lin Che, the Emperor will definitely not agree. However, the Emperor was very fond of fourth wangye and Ming wang. He especially preferred Ming wang. If she used them as an excuse, the Emperor would definitely consider this matter.
As expected, Emperor Feng Xuans face became serious. Who knew how many times he worried about the marriage of these two children he loved most? Every time he mentioned marriage to his fourth son, he always smiled but when he looked at this woman, he didnt like, that woman, he didnt like either. He had no way of making them marry. His sixth son was even worse. Every time he mentioned it, he wont even listen before he directly left. In the past, hes sent a beauty to this child, but the woman didnt even get to enter the doors of Ming wang manor before she was killed by the guards. Now that the two children have already grown up. Some wangye already had a herd of children. It just left the two of them who were still by themselves. This time no matter what he must make them marry.
Beloved consort is correct. The children affairs need to be considered, but we still must ask the childrens thoughts, to see if they have a young miss they like! Feng Xuan nodded, very much in agreement.
Chenqie thanks Your Majesty! Noble Consort Lin curtsied and left the imperial study with a eunuch. Her purpose today has already been achieved. Recently, the battle for the throne became even more fierce, but her sons power wasnt as good as second wangye and fourth wangye, so she can only find an helper for her son. Therefore, he must marry a useful woman. This way that power will belong to them, so they can have a chance atpeting with Feng Shao Chu and Feng Xia Qi.
Send people to let Xia Qi and Yi Xuane over. Say zhen has something to say to them! Emperor Feng Xuan ordered down. Although he was sure his fourth son will definitelye, his sixth son he wasnt sure about. Usually, when he summoned him, eight times out of ten, he didnt show up. He was helpless against him.
Yes!
Eunuch Lu ah, do you think Yi Xuan still hates zhen? Every time zhen sees him, I can see the hatred towards zhen in his eyes. Zhen... Feng Xuan painfully sat in front of the desk. Eunuch Lu only quietly stood beside him. His Majesty wasnt really asking him. He only wanted to release the remorse in his heart.
Eunuch Lu still remembered the previous Empress was a beautiful woman with a strong character. Because of this decisiveness and strength, in the end, she dissipated in the harem. When the Empress died, the Emperor was inconsble for a long time. Even for some time, he couldnt keep on going. Although there appears to be nothing wrong with the Emperor on the surface, inside, he missed the former Empress a lot. Otherwise, why would he give the consorts in the pce pregnancy prevention medicine?
Unsurprisingly, the first one who came was Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi paid respects to the Emperor, Greetings to Imperial Father. Why did Imperial father summon erchen?
Theres no hurry. Sit down first. Wait for Yi Xuan toe before we talk! The Emperor said. Eunuch Lu immediately brought a chair over. Feng Xia Qi dropped formalities and sat down, thinking that something must have happened for Imperial Father to summon him and his younger brother.
When the Emperor finished drinking his fourth cup of tea, Feng Yi Xuan arrivedte. His face was still frozen without any expression. When he saw the Emperor, he bowed, Imperial Father then Eunuch Lu brought in another chair and sat down without any formalities a subject was supposed to have.
Imperial father, since imperial brother is here, can Imperial father tell erchen what is this for? Feng Xia Qi smiled, but in front of the Emperor, he still wore a mask. The smile he wore was only the smile of a sly fox.
En, zhen today called you here because you have alreadye of age. Yet you two dont have any consorts. I want to ask if you have any woman you like. Imperial father will sanction a marriage! the Emperor said benevolently. Although he wanted to sanction a marriage for these two children straightaway, find a woman with good looks and character for them to marry, neither of these two children were easily fooled. The sanctioned marriage will probably end up being a fail and backfire on him.
Imperial father, erchen doesnt want to get married yet. Imperial father doesnt need to worry! Feng Xia Qi said. His attitude towards woman was to run as far away as he can. Most women were hypocrites. In this world probably only a woman like Nianer meimei is the best candidate for a wife.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt even look at Emperor, his words cold as usual, Meddlesome!
Fooling around! You are already this age. Imperial father still looks forward to the birth of your children! If you dont like then just pick one. If you meet the one you like in the future, then bring them into the manorter! Emperor was anxious. After all, there was a particr emphasis on the problem of children when fighting for the throne. How can one who didnt even have an official consort or a side consort make the civil and martial officials in court support him sincerely?
Just like Mother Empress? Feng Yi Xuans gaze chilled and Feng Xia Qis face became ugly.
Zhen really loved your Empress Mother. She is the only woman zhen loved. It is this Emperor who wronged her! Emperor looked at Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan guiltily. In this life, he regretted nothing he did but his only regret was that he did not cherish that woman.
Imperial fathers love is really great. I think Empress Mothers greatest regret is marrying imperial father! Feng Yi Xuan sneered, that pair of ck eyes already began to glow purple.
Impudent! Emperor scolded. His former wife was the pain in his heart. Now it was said out loud by his son, he felt miserable.
This wang already has a beloved woman. In this life, this wang will only have her. If you dare give me another woman, I will kill them all! Finished, Feng Yi Xuan left the imperial study.
Father, erchen also wants to find a woman who I truly love to spend the rest of my life with. So concerning the matter of sanctioning a marriage, I ask Imperial Father to give up! Feng Xia Qi looked at his remorseful father without any words offort, Erchen withdraws!
Emperor wants to say something but the two children already left without agreeing, Eunuch Lu, should zhen allow them to continue on like this?
Your Majesty, fourth wangye and Ming wang are dragons amongst people. They can find their own beloved. Besides didnt Ming wang say he already has a beloved woman? Perhaps it wont be long before Ming wang wants Your Majesty to sanction a marriage! Eunuch Lu brewed a cup of tea for Emperor as he consoled him.
Right, Yi Xuan has his own beloved woman. He even said that in this life, he will only have one person. Whose familys girl is it? Emperor wondered anxiously. After all, this son has never been amiable to another woman before. It was good enough that he didnt kill them. The Emperor was really afraid this son will be alone for the rest of his life.
Dont worry Your Majesty. With Ming wangs temper, if he likes, then he will definitely marry her! Eunuch Lu said. It was true, after all, Feng Yi Xuans temper was overbearing beyond belief.
Right, right, it seems zhen is worried for nothing! Emperor rxed.
Your Majesty, are you still going to Noble Consort Lins ce today? Eunuch Lu asked. It was gettingte. The Emperor usually retires to other consorts pce. Most of the time, however, he will go to the former Empresss pce to rest. The former Empresss pce still remained and has now be the Emperors resting ce.
Not going. Eunuch Lu ah, you dont know how much zhen is disgusted by those women in the harem. Zhen doesnt want to touch them at all. In the past zhen was wrong, zhen had to do this for the throne! The Emperor said, returning to his own pce.
AXuan, wait a minute! Once they were out of the pce, Feng Xia Qi chased after Feng Yi Xuan.
Imperial brother still has a problem? Feng Yi Xuan asked coldly.
Just in front of Imperial father you said you have a beloved woman, is this true? Feng Xia Qi really wanted to p his brothers shoulders, but then thought of brothers mysophobia, better forget about it!
En, its real! Feng Yi Xuan didnt hide anything from his Imperial brother. The two of them were real brothers and family, so there were no thoughts of fighting against each other.
You really hid it deeply ah! Which familysdy did you take a fancy to? Want brothers help? Feng Xia Qi asked happily. After all, he still felt some guilt towards this brother. This brother was always solitary. If he had a girl he liked, he probably would be much happier.
This wang can do it. Theres no need for you to worry! Feng Yi Xuan said and used qinggong to leave. He started to miss Nian Nian. He didnt know if Nian Nian has fallen asleep yet.
Chapter 93
93 Confession
May 13, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian was ready to go to sleep when she noticed someone enter You Nian Pavilion. She could already guess who the intruder was. Besides Feng Yi Xuan, there was probably no one else who will break into a maidens boudoir.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan walked into Lan You Nians chamber and gazed upon his beloved woman who was dressed in only a white inner robe standing there watching him. The girls thick and long eyshes were slightly furled, fluttering like the wings of a butterfly, making people unable to bear disturbing them. Distinctly ck and white eyes were pure, clean, and glimmering brilliantly as if they were broken starlight raining down to the quiet spring. Under a delicate small nose, moist pink lips were sweet and attractive like sweet jelly.
Lan You Nians first reaction after she detected Feng Yi Xuans bad mood-initially she wanted to say something to him about the fact he shouldnt casually trespass a maidens boudoir-but with a nce at his restless eyes, Lan You Nians heart ached. From the moment she met this man, he has always protected her. She has never seen him like this.
Is there something? Lan You Nian poured a cup of tea for Feng Yi Xuan and asked.
No. I only wanted toe over to see you! Feng Yi Xuans twin eyes were deeply affectionately as he murmured softly. That look of deep attachment and refinement was extremely handsome.
Lan You Nian suddenly didnt know what to say. In fact, the moment Feng Yi Xuan jumped down the cliff and embraced her, her heart was moved. It was as if in this vast and lonely world, there was suddenly a person willing to risk his life for her. Being so cherished gave her a warm feeling that Lan You Nian was covetous of. When she leaned on this mans chest, Lan You Nian can distinctly feel her depleted heart match this mans heartbeat. Every time this man looked at her, his eyes were filled entirely with her, full of his pampering for her. Lan You Nian had a strange idea, she wondered if Feng Yi Xuan was....
But Lan You Nian instantly threw away this possibility. It was true Feng Yi Xuan was good to her, but she was still too young. For a person like Feng Yi Xuan with his aloof personality, no ordinary people can enter his heart. She was probably overthinking it.
Since you saw, then go back! Lan You Nians heart was in chaos. She wanted to stay far away from Feng Yi Xuan. This way her heart will calm down. She wouldnt allow herself to fall in love. She could no longer afford the price anymore.
Wont go! Saying this, Feng Yi Xuan nted himself on the soft couch in the room. The couch was wide enough when Lan You Nianid on it, but when Feng Yi Xuanid on it, it was not long or wide enough. Feng Yi Xuan didnt seem to mind. In fact, he seemed to be very happy. He could still smell Nian Nians fragrance in the room; this couch was the same. Thinking about Nian Nianying on this couch, Feng Yi Xuan felt envious of it.
Ming wang, is it okay for you to be like this? I am still an unmarried girl okay? Lan You Nian controlled her emotions and attempted tomunicate with this uncle*.
Xuan! Feng Yi Xuan sat up, lightly tapping Lan You Nians forehead, his tone revealed his grievance.
Alright, then Xuan, please exin, Lan You Nian didnt make a big deal out of it. Anyway, it was just a name. Since he didnt care, what was she afraid of? Fine, shell call him that, shell call him and disgust him to death.
I will marry you, Feng Yi Xuan stood up, cing both hands on Lan You Nians frail shoulders to make Lan You Nian look at him. Without waiting for Lan You Nians refusal, Feng Yi Xuan looked into Lan You Nians beautiful eyes and said, Its not because you saved my life, nor is it because of anything else. Its only because I like you. No, its more powerful than like. I love you Nian Nian. Everything that I Feng Yi Xuan said is the truth.
Lan You Nians ears echoed with Feng Yi Xuans low voice. That phrase of, I love youһechoed in her ears. Her heart suddenly pounded. Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who looked as refined as a celestial being, her mouth opened but the words couldnt escape.
I know youre still young so you might not understand, but I will wait for you. I will wait until the day you understand! Feng Yi Xuan embraced Lan You Nian. As always, he ced Lan You Nian into bed and tucked her in. The only difference was that today he did not stand there. Instead, he returned to the couch andid back down facing Lan You Nian, just staring distractedly at Lan You Nian.
Only when Lan You Nian was tucked into bed did she snap out of her daze. Lan You Nian flipped over onto her side and realized Feng Yi Xuan wasying on the couch. His gaze was deep as they looked at her. Even if it was night, it couldnt cover up that pair of intense eyes.
Last time I said I wont marry! Lan You Nian,ying in the same position as Feng Yi Xuan, considered Feng Yi Xuan seriously. It cant be denied that in that instant, she felt something. Even she almost lost herself in those eyes and agreed to Feng Yi Xuan. But in the end, her reason defeated her, or maybe it was the cowardliness in her heart that was urging her.
Feng Yi Xuans sword eyebrows wrinkled. They seemed to be troubled, but a few momentster, Feng Yi Xuans eyes brightened, Then how about I marry(jia) into Lan manor? He only wanted to be together with Nian Nian. For the rest of his life, his next life, every single lifetime, to be together forever. IF Nian Nian didnt want to marry, then he will marry over.
(in Chinese there are two different kinds of marrying, qu and jia. Usually, the male party brings in the female which is qu, from the female perspective where the female marries into the mans home, it is jia. Its simr to the western culture when the girl marries a guy, she (usually) takes hisst name. For the man to marry (jia) he would take the womansst name as his own and since this is ancient times, puts himself in the power of the womans family)
You? A countrys wangye? Do you think its possible? Lan You Nian cracked up. But she didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to say such words. After all, in ancient times, most men were extremely chauvinistic. Who didnt have three wives, four concubines (idiom: many women)? This man was really different from all the others to be able to say such words.
Possible. No one can stop me from being with you! Feng Yi Xuans tone carried with it a disdain for the world, noble and distant, with the arrogance of a superior above all others.
Lan You Nian suddenly didnt know how to refute. Whatever this man wanted to do, there probably wasnt anyone in the world who could stop him. But how could they talk and talk and run off the subject? This man really must have some influence on her.
To turn away from this awkward ambiguous topic, Lan You Nian asked, Youre in a bad mood today?
In the dark, Feng Yi Xuans eyes brightened, dazzling Lan You Nians eyes. Lan You Nian thought if Feng Yi Xuans eyes recovered their purple color, it would be even more beautiful.
Nian Nian worries about me? Feng Yi Xuan asked with joy. En, Nian Nian already knew to start to worry about him. This was a good sign. He still needed to work harder.
Lan You Nian did not answer Feng Yi Xuans excited question. She looked at Feng Yi Xuan who was still looking at her with happiness. Lan You Nian turned her back to Feng Yi Xuan, not asking anymore. She felt there was a serious problem withmunicating with Feng Yi Xuan. This mans thought process was sometimes very agile and sometimes very na?ve. Only in front of Lan You Nian will Feng Yi Xuan be like this.
Looking at Lan You Nians turned back, he can only see the back of Lan You Nians head. Feng Yi Xuan did not retract he gaze. His pleasant low-pitched voice sounded in the dark silent room, Today I entered the pce and saw Imperial Father, that man who killed Empress Mother!
These words indirectly answered Lan You Nians question. Feng Yi Xuan felt there was nothing he couldnt tell Lan You Nian. He will never forget the grief of when Mother Empress died in front of him. Now, although it has already been a long time, he still felt miserable inside.
Sleep! Lan You Nian wanted tofort him but couldnt do anything tofort him. She could hear the sorrow in Feng Yi Xuans voice. She suddenly thought of the rumors in the capital. Was he afraid when the little boy faced other people who looked at him as if looking at the devil simply because his eyes were different from everybody else? Was he sad?
Perhaps Lan You Nian didnt know when she started to worry about Feng Yi Xuan, to ache for Feng Yi Xuan. Perhaps this man was already inside her heart, only she wasnt aware of it.
Lan You Nians voice drifted over to Feng Yi Xuan who was caught in his memories of the past, instantly making him happy without any of the anger left. Hearing the meaning of Nian Nians, words, it meant tonight he could sleep here. The great and noble Ming wang, because he could sleep in the rooms couch, was so happy he wanted to jump up and shout, but with a nce at Nian Nian who seemed to want to rest, he suppressed the urge.
En! Feng Yi Xuan grunted in agreement, then watched as Lan You Nian enter slumber.
In the middle night, it seemed only when he was beside Nian Nian, he was able to fall asleep in the real sense. However, it didnt hinder his alertness level. Feng Yi Xians eyes snapped opened-a ruthless pair of wolf eyes-as he listened to the sound of someone entering You Nian Pavilions courtyard.
Feng Yi Xuan prepared to quietly get up and not rm Lan You Nian who was sleeping. He stood up and walked outside of Lan You Nians room to wait for the intruder. He didnt expect someone will have such big guts to dare to enter Nian Nians ce. It seems in the future he must think of a way to change the guards of You Nian Pavilion, otherwise, if it bothered Nian Nians resting time, it wont be good.
The intruder came to You Nian Pavilions upper floor. Feng Yi Xuan could judge that the person was a man. Thinking of this, he was displeased inside. There was actually a man who wants to enter Nian Nians boudoir? This has gone too far! Do they think he is dead? Feng Yi Xuan didnt even think about the fact that he also was a man, didnt he trespass the boudoir? He even sleeps in the womans boudoir.
Feng Yi Xuans ck figure shed across, his hand raised and the de fell. Such cold-hearted, bloodthirsty, merciless, strong murderous intent flooded this room. This was the real Ming wang.
The intruder seemed to be shocked as if he didnt expect someone to attack him, but the person seemed to have some martial arts for his reaction wasnt bad as he instantly dodged and met with Feng Yi Xuans attack.
When Feng Yi Xuan released his murderous intent, Lan You Nian had already woken up. Usually, if someone entered her room, she would already wake, but because of Feng Yi Xuan, every time she slept deeply and peacefully.
When she saw Feng Yi Xuans palm was about tond on the person, the person wasnt Feng Yi Xuans opponent, Lan You Nian anxiously said, Xuan, stop!
Although Feng Yi Xuan was angry someone broke into Nian Nians room but hearing Nian Nians voice, he still retracted his hand. But hearing Nian Nians anxious tone, a whole night of Feng Yi Xuans good mood took a turn for the worse.
Little... the person was going to shout but seeing Feng Yi Xuan, he changed his words, Nianer meimei, I finally found you!
Chapter 94
94 Gui Wus Arrival
May 16, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Who is he? Feng Yi Xuan demanded while Lan You Nian lit a candle. He didnt like Nian Nians protectiveness of this person. A strong killing intent bubbled inside him towards this intruder.
Gui Wu wore a sapphire blue brocade robe that followed his quick footsteps, the edge of the robe fluttering elegantly. The eyebrows were umonly handsome, but that adorable baby face made him as cute as a child. He stared with wide eyes at Feng Yi Xuan, his eyes were deeply vignce. This man was too strong, and for him to stay in little junior sisters room, he didnt seem to be a guard so who was he?
Benefactor! Lan You Nian can clearly detect Feng Yi Xuans killing intent towards fifth brother. If she didnt exin this clearly, then she cant stop Feng Yi Xuan from doing whatever he wanted. This man was too powerful while fifth brother tended to be yful; it was too dangerous. She didnt lie, after all, when she fell down the cliff and was buried under all that snow, it was shifu and her senior brothers who saved her. Werent they her benefactors?
When he heard this, Feng Yi Xuans killing intent towards Gui Wu weakened. What he regretted most was not being there to protect Nian Nian when she was living a hard life. This man, when Nian Nians life was hanging by a thread, saved Nian Nian. No matter what, he was grateful towards this man. Because of him, his Nian Nian was safe and sound standing before him.
Gui Wu wanted to ask Feng Yi Xuan who he was. In the eyes of the senior brothers, their little junior sister was the kindest and most endearing. Even if they saw with their own eyes how Lan You Nian killed people without batting an eysh many times in the past, that didnt change their initial heart. Gui Wu carefully scrutinized Feng Yi Xuan. Compared to the looks of the senior brothers, his looks were better than them nor could they rival his high-born bearing. Thinking of this, Gui Wu felt Feng Yi Xuan was a dangerous person. He became even more worried about little junior sister.
Why are you here? The three people sat down at the table. Lan You Nian asked with a straight face. When she got ready toe to the capital, she didnt expect shifu and her senior brothers to interfere. They were people of the pugilistic world. They disliked the disputes of the imperial court. Nor did Lan You Nian want them to be dragged into it. Third brother came to the capital, she tolerated it, but now even fifth brother came too. Wasnt she causing trouble for everyone?
I was bored, so I came to find little...Nianer meimei to y! Gui Wu really felt bored. In the valley, there was only him and shifu. The rest of the senior brother all helped out at Nianers Wu Qing Pavilion to handle matters. All day, shifu was immersed in medicine to study Nianer meimeis poison. He was bored, so he wanted toe out, but shifu wouldnt allow it. He could only sneak out.
Go back tomorrow! Lan You Nian frowned. Fifth brothers personality was lively and guileless. Currently, the Empresss faction already kept a close eye on Lan manor and on her. If fifth brother stayed in the capital, based on his personality, he would regrly follow her, exactly the same as the many years she wandered in the pugilistic world with fifth brother following her to protect her. Fifth brother will surely be noticed. She didnt want these disgusting things to contaminate fifth brother or any one of her other brothers.
She still remembered the time from two years ago when she was ambushed. It was fifth brother who foolishly protected her and helped her to escape the ambush of the other sects. Because of this incident, fifth brother was injured, making her regret it afterward.
I wont go back! I can protect you! Gui Wu said grievously. This was the first time little junior sister spoke to him like this. Even though he knew little junior sister was worried for him, he was still upset. After all, he really wanted toe out to y.
No need to say anymore. You can go back, go back now! Lan You Nian bit down on her lip as she scolded. In the past, these senior brothers and shifu protected her and cared for her. She wishes to protect them not to bring them trouble.
Hmph! Gui Wu red angrily at Lan You Nian and flew out of the pavilion.
Lan Yu Nian frowned when she saw Gui Wu leave, her eyes shed with sadness. Although Feng Yi Xuan didnt like to see Nian Nian worry about other people but seeing Nian Nian unhappy, he couldnt bear it either. He held Nian Nians small hands; Feng Yi Xuans tone was light, He still hasnt left. Hes still in You Nian Pavilion!
I know! Lan You Nian could detect fifth brother hasnt left yet. Every time the two of them quarreled, this fifth brother acted like a child.
You are worried about the Empresss faction? Feng Yi Xuan understood Lan You Nian more and more. He could tell Nian Nian valued this benefactor greatly. She treated him like she treated Lan Mo Xian. He was eating vinegar inside, but he knew if he wanted to teach this man a lesson, he better do it where Nian Nian cant see.
When my life was hanging by a thread, it was these people who saved me and gave me a new life. I dont want them to be hurt! Lan You Nian didnt notice that she has started to trust Feng Yi Xuan. She seemed to consider Feng Yi Xuan her rock, so she spoke the words in her heart.
Go rest. Leave the rest to me Feng Yi Xuan was going to embrace Lan You Nian. Noticing this, Lan You Nian shot a re at Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan who was red at, not only wasnt unhappy. Instead, he felt Nian Nians re was the cutest thing, making him want to kiss her.
Lan You Nian carefully assessed Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Yi Xuan seemed to be telling the truth. Perhaps he had a way of dealing with this problem. Knowing if she went to talk with fifth brother, the two will definitely get into an argument. Although it wont hurt the twos sibling rtionship, it will definitely make fifth brother depressed for a long time. She allowed Feng Yi Xuan to go.
Seeing Lan You Nian obedientlyy on the bed, only then did Feng Yi Xuan leave. He found Gui Wu, who has hidden in You Nian Pavilions courtyard. The two left Lan manor so they wouldnt bother Lan You Nian.
You stay away from Nianer meimei! Gui Wu attacked Feng Yi Xuan. He really worried about little junior sister. He was afraid this man will hurt little junior sister.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed. He finally found the perfect opportunity to sort out this man. From Nian Nians defense of him, worry about him, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do this for a while. This man just gave him the perfect excuse. Even if Nian Nian knew, he was the one who made the first move right?
Feng Yi Xuan speedily came to Gui Wus side and blocked Gui Wus attack. Then he punched Gui Wus chest, abdomen, wherever it hurts, hell hit it. Feng Yi Xuan did not intend to kill him, nor did he use his full strength, so Gui Wus body only suffered from skin injuries. It was painful, but not life-threatening. This was Feng Yi Xuans grace for him having saved Nian Nian in the past. Otherwise, based on the fact this man dared to make Nian Nian unhappy, he wanted to kill him!
Ahhurt, hurt, stop! Gui Wu wailed. He didnt expect this mans skill to be so good. He wasnt his rival at all.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt want Gui Wus life, so stopped his attacks. His expression was unkind, staring down Gui Wu, You made Nian Nian sad!
Gui Wu seemed to know he was in the wrong as he lowered his head, said uneasily, I will go apologize. She will forgive me!
You know she wants you to leave the capital for your own good! Feng Yi Xuan felt, ever since he met Lan You Nian, he had so many words to say. It was really inconceivable.
How can Gui Wu not know this? They understood little junior sisters identity. They had a hunch of what little junior sister wanted to do. Although they disliked the disputes of the imperial court, if it was for little junior sister, they didnt care what they had to do. This was their little junior sister. If they didnt help her, protect her, who will take care of her?
Who are you? Gui Wu looked at the man in front of him. This man seemed to be very familiar with little junior sister and was very good to her.
Feng Yi Xuan! Feng Yi Xuan seeing such a lively man, couldnt understand why Nian Nians rtionship with this man seemed to pretty good. If he couldnt tell this man didnt have any inappropriate thoughts towards Nian Nian, he would have already killed him. He felt irritated simply just looking at him.
You are the God of War Feng Yi Xuan? Gui Wu almost jumped up and down as he asked ecstatically, You are Ming wang Feng Yi Xuan who is unrivaled on the battlefield?
You cant me Gui Wu for his excitement. All these years that Gui Wu has followed Lan You Nian to travel outside, he heard many matters rted to this God of War Feng Yi Xuan. In Gui Wus heart, there existed a heroplex belonging only to men. He always admired this Feng Yi Xuan who at a young age, already fought in the battlefield to kill enemies. In the past he said, if there was an opportunity, he will definitelye to Feng Yi Xuans army to experience the majestic military morale and follow Feng Yi Xuan to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He didnt expect he would see Feng Yi Xuan today and in such a situation.
En! Feng Yi Xuan saw the changed attitude of Gui Wu, inside he felt more annoyed. This man was so strange, he will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Nian Nian.
Can I work for you? Gui Wu felt Ming wang was powerful. Little junior sister did not allow him to stay in the capital, but he didnt want to go back. Since it was like this, how about go work under Ming wang. This way, on the one hand, he canplete his greatest wish. Secondly, he can stay in the capital to protect little junior sister, so nice ah!
Feng Yi Xuan considered it. His subordinates were all carefully selected. Although this man looked as adorable as a child, the intelligence in his eyes couldnt be underestimated. This person was Nian Nians benefactor. Since he was Nian Nians benefactor, then he was his own benefactor. What Nian Nian owed, he will repay. This way, in the future, Nian Nian will have nothing to do with this person.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. Gui Wu was ecstatic. How could he know that once he entered Feng Yi Xuans army camp, that living would be more miserable than death? At that point, Gui Wu trained until he wanted to cry. He only wanted to silently worship Feng Yi Xuan.
An Yi, take him to the army camp! Feng Yi Xuan instructed.
An Yi walked out from the shadows, sympathetically nced at Gui Wu. This was probably the first time someone entered masters army from the back door. Remembering how moments ago that man was so familiar with Miss Lan, An Yi was sure Gui Wus future life will definitely be challenging. After all, one cant afford to provoke a jealous man, especially a jealous man who was powerful.
At this moment, Gui Wu didnt know An Yis thoughts. He looked at An Yi with admiration. His medical skills and martial arts was the worst amongst the rest of the brothers, even little junior sister was stronger than him. In the future, he must toughen up. Lets see if they dare to look down on him anymore!
Feng Yi Xuan seeing the troublesome problem has been resolved, returned to You Nian Pavilion. Gui Wu was a little disoriented, wondering if there was something he forgot. But thinking that he can go to the famous Ming army, he forgot everything.
Lan You Nian didnt fall asleep, so as soon as Feng Yi Xuan entered the boudoir, she sat up. Feng Yi Xuan felt an oppressive pressure inside. Nian Nian really cared about this man.
He entered the Ming army under me! Feng Yi Xuan pressed Lan You Nian back down on the bed and covered her with a nket, exining Gui Wus whereabouts.
Ming army? Lan You Nian mumbled. Ming army was Ming wang Feng Yi Xuans most elite troop. How many countries have coveted the kingdom of Feng before they werepletely shaken up by these troops? Once the troops came, they never lost. In the past, she heard fifth brother say that he must join this troop if there was such an opportunity in the future. Unexpectedly, this dream hase true.
Letting Gui Wu enter Ming army was a good idea. This way, it could not only toughen Gui Wus personality and body, but it can also prevent him from falling into these murky waters, at the same time, granting Gui Wus wish.
Thanks! Lan You Nian whispered to Feng Yi Xuan whoid down on the couch.
Then, can I sleep here in the future? Feng Yi Xuan hurriedly worked for his own self-interest. He didnt want to go where Nian Nian wasnt. Even if he cant sleep together, he was fine with just looking at Nian Nian. Besides, in the future, Nian Nian will definitely be his wangfei. He now must keep a close eye on her, not allowing other men to peek at Nian Nian in the middle of the night.
Lan You Nian was stunned. She should refuse Feng YI Xuans request, but for some reason, she was embarrassed, Sleep on the couch?
En, the couch is good! Feng Yi Xuan said indifferently. Not just to sleep on the couch, even if she said the roof, he would be more than happy to sleep there.
If I tell you to leave, you cannot shamelessly stick around, Lan You Nian asked uncertainly, after all, she...
I will be obedient! Feng Yi Xuan said pitifully Lan You Nian couldnt bear to look at him. She almost said whatever go ahead and live here, but fortunately, Lan You Nian did not fall into Feng Yi Xuans beauty trap.
Oh! Lan You Nian said and immediately closed her eyes, not looking at Feng Yi Xuan anymore. Honestly, Feng Yi Xuans looks were a massive blow against Lan You Nians defenses. Feng Yi Xuans handsome face was the best one shes seen since her rebirth as if he were a celestial being from high above.
In the beautiful boudoir, although the two slept on either side of the room. Under the watchful eye of the moon, no one could bear to shatter this heart-warming atmosphere.
Chapter 95
95 Gui Wu Poisons
May 18, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Master, someone offered a price for us Ghost Realm to kill someone! An Er said to Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan frowned and looked at An Er in dissatisfaction. They can take care of this matter themselves. When did these small things need him to take care of?
The person they wanted us to kill is Miss Lan! An Er said and left as far away as he could from Feng Yi Xuan. As expected, Feng Yi Xuans internal force was released. Half of the garden was ruined. Even so, Feng Yi Xuan still felt ufortable in his heart. Someone wanted to hurt Nian Nian, they deserve to die!
Who is it? Feng Yi Xuans voice seemed to be filled with ice, so cold it chilled peoples bones.
We investigated. The one who paid the money is one of eldest princess Feng Xiao Luos people! An Er was very angry. Their Ghost Realm was an assassin organization, so they will ept amission to kill. But Ghost Realms rules were stringent. Just because you paid, doesnt mean they will help you kill. But if Ghost Realm made a move, then no person will be left alive.
Her? Feng Yi Xuan thought about it. It was probably because of the day the eldest princess fell into theke and was punished, so she bore a grudge and had the idea to kill Nian Nian.
Master, do we ept? An Er asked in confusion. But just as his words fell, he was thrown away by Feng Yi Xuans attack. An Er gloomily stood up and walked towards Feng Yi Xuan. He behaved himself and did not dare to say anything else.
Take some people with you to make trouble for the eldest princess. They can y however they like! I want her to be miserable! Feng Yi Xuan was furious so furious he wanted to enter the pce to rip apart the eldest princess. However, he wasnt a rash person. Some things could only be taken care of in the shadows.
Yes! An Er responded with enthusiasm. When he was about to leave, Feng Yi Xuans voice drifted into his ears, Take Gui Wu with you!
When An Er arrived in the army camp and found Gui Wu, he almost couldnt recognize him. The previously cute baby faced Gui Wu was now wearing a straight military uniform. His white skin was now tanned, his adorable immaturity has now faded away entirely. He has be a real man.
You finally came! Wuwu, I want to find Nianer meimei! Gui Wu clung to An Er. Recently in the army camp, he got acquainted with Feng Yi Xuans shadow guards. A lot of the training thing was done by them. Gui Wu was both afraid and loved it. What he was afraid of was the cruel method the shadow guards trained him with. What he loved was that he was getting stronger. He can now protect little junior sister. Although he was now familiar with these shadow guards and the soldiers in the army, he never mentioned anything rted to little junior sister. This was the bottom line.
You have the ability. Go find Miss Lan yourself! An Er sneered. This Gui Wu had a lot of guts. Since master ced him in Ming army, it was not only affirming his strength, but it was also because master was eating vinegar. If Gui Wu if went to find Miss Lan again, then the consequences...The picture An Er imagined was too beautiful.
I... Gui Wu stammered. When he was sent here by An Yi, due to the endless training every day, his head and face were covered with dust,pletely disheveled. He has seen this kind of training method before. That was the technique that little junior sister gave Gui Er to train subordinates. It seemed to be exactly like this. At that time, he was afraid of suffering, so did not go to Wu Qing Pavilion to train. He didnt expect that now hese to Ming army, he still needed to experience these. In the beginning, he wanted to sneak out to find little junior sister toin, but he didnt run far before he was caught. Then his training was doubled.
Alright, master allowed you to go with me to take care of some matters! An Er felt a headache from Gui Wus fear of hardship personality. He didnt know how Miss Lan can be friends with such a man? Or do girls all like cute things and people? After all, Gui Wus appearance was indeed cute...An Er snickered, Gui Wu was no longer cute butical.
Ah? Really? Great, lets go! Gui Wu jumped three feet high, sped An Ers shoulders ready to leave. Although he was afraid of hardships, he liked the atmosphere of the army camp. Gui Wu greatly enjoyed this kind of atmosphere that made ones blood rush through their veins.
You know what were to do? An Er didnt move. Although Gui Wu was now in Ming army, he didnt belong to Ming army. Nor did he belong to their group of shadow guards. He wasnt masters subordinate, so An Er ended up asking. After all, he still had the right to refuse.
Do what? Gui Wu only wanted to go out and bezy. Who cared?
We probably need to kill someone tonight. And it is a princess! An Ers tone didnt change, simply stated the facts. Although master said to give the eldest princess some trouble, he knew master was furious and had a desire to kill.
Kill people? Gui Wu asked, stunned. It wasnt because of fear. After so many years wandering with little junior sister, he has killed people. It was even moremon to see little junior sister kill someone. So to Gui Wu, killing wasmon. But that was because he was willing. Killing required a reason, now...
Yes, someone wants to kill Miss Lan, so master wants us to sort out this princess! An Er exined the reason.
What? Gui Wu immediately widened his cute eyes, but those eyes were filled with hate. This was not in line with his cute face, very different from his usual cute personality, Dare to hurt little...Nianer meimei, I will not spare her, even a princess is not allowed!
An Er seeing such a different Gui Wu was surprised. He didnt expect Gui Wu to be filled with murderous intent. But seeing Gui Wu cared so much about Miss Lan, An Er decided to keep an eye out. Anyone who hindered master from chasing his wife, they must pay attention to. If necessary, they must find a way to drive him away from Miss Lan.
When An Er and Gui Wu snuck into the pce, they met with Lan Mo Xian. When Lan Mo Xian heard the eldest princess dared to pay to kill and the person she wanted to kill was his sister, immediately followed behind An Er grinding his teeth.
The moment Gui Wu saw Lan Mo Xian, his personality changed; he didnt chatter anymore. They were all little junior sisters brothers, but even so, Gui Wu didnt like him. They have been with little junior sister for so many years, and they have seen her hard work and her pain after being poisoned yet they didnt see little junior sisters family searching for her. This feeling made them angry. They felt these people werent worthy of being little junior sisters family.
Lan Mo Xian detected Lan Wus dislike but didnt overthink it. He thought Gui Wu was a new transfer into Ming wangs army. After all, Ming wangs subordinates were all people with abilities. He was no longer a stranger to it, have gotten used to it.
Several people came to the eldest princesss luxurious pce. Gui Wu took out some sleeping powder, causing the guards and pce maids in the pce to fall unconscious. Then he went to take care of the eldest princess. At this moment An Er threw a ck face cloth at him. After all, if other people found out their identities, it will bring trouble to master.
The three masked ck men used qinggong to fly into the eldest princesss room. The eldest princess was still asleep. The exquisite princess makeup was already unloaded revealing the original in face. A real silk inner robe clung to the fully developed body, but the three men turned a blind eye to it as if the oneying there was a man.
Gui Wu gave the eldest princess a pill, then sinisterly snickered. Even without any sound, but one can still detect his current good mood.
What did you give her to eat? Lan Mo Xian asked curiously, but Gui Wu didnt say anything. If he werent afraid little junior sister will be unhappy, he and the rest of the senior brothers would definitely kill everyone in Lan manor.
What is it? An Er asked again. If the poison Gui Wu gave was not good enough, then they will need to do more. They cant allow the eldest princess to live sofortably.
Heehee! Gui Wu assessed the dreaming eldest princess, This poison makes her lose her hair, ages her skin, and makes her voice hoarse! Gui Wu was delighted. This poison was invented by Gui San. All the sinister and vicious poisons in their hands were made by Gui San. As long as you can think of it, there was no poison he cant make. Little junior sister seemed to like the poisons Gui San developed so this led to Gui San developing more and more vicious poisons.
An Er felt his back was cold. He didnt expect this cute looking Gui Wu to own such a poison. If a woman lost her beautiful hair, her smooth skin, and her soft voice, how can she continue to live? Especially if she was a princess. Tsk tsk, it seems the eldest princesss days will be more difficult in the future.
An Er wanted to do more but was stopped by Gui Wu, Even if you kill directly so what? Better to let her slowly enjoy this spirit and bodily pain. This is true torment! Gui Wu said and left the pce. His ideas were learned from little junior sister. Little junior sister said to him in the past, if you want to hurt someone, you must destroy everything he cared for. This was true pain.
When the people left the imperial pce, watching as Gui Wu obediently returned to Ming army, Lan Mo Xian asked in confusion, I have strife with this person? Otherwise, why did he always used that expression to look at him?
Who knows? Finished with his task, An Er returned to his master to the results.
When An Er returned to wang manor, he can clearly feel there was something wrong from the pressure in Ming wang manor. Master must be in a bad mood. So what happened? Oh right, thesest few nights, master pitifully went to Miss Lans ce to scrape for a couch to sleep. Why is he back today? It seems he must have been driven out by Miss Lan. Only Miss Lan can cause master to go from hot to cold instantly.
An Yi, whats wrong with master? Driven out by Miss Lan? An Er asked quietly.
En, Miss Lans drove out master with just a few words, ai, my wise master! An Yimented. Master was bing more and more like a ve to his wife.
I have taken care of the eldest princesss matters. You go tell master! An Er cajoled fawningly. He has already been scolded by master today. He didnt want to go in, really didnt want to.
No, this matter is your responsibility. If you dont go in, it will dy the time. You know master is already unhappy, the consequences... An Yi had yet to finish with his words before An Er shakily entered the study. After entering, he noticed his familys masters sitting there reviewing documents with a cold face.
An Er clearly and quickly reported their punishment of eldest princess to Feng Yi Xuan. Even when he finished reporting, he didnt dare to leave straightaway so stiffly stood there. He really missed the days Miss Lan lived in wangfu. The manor was inplete harmony, and master was absolutely pleasant to be around.
A few more months before it is the Banquet of the Four Kingdoms. This years banquet is held in Feng! Feng Yi Xuan said obscurely.
Yes, there are still three more months until the Four King exchange banquet. This year, the ce where it is held in our kingdoms capital! An Er replied.
On the maind, thergest four kingdoms were Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue. In the past, the four kingdoms were on the same footing but now because of Feng Yi Xuans annual warfare, clearly the Kingdom of Feng was thergest amongst the four. Although on the surface, the four kingdoms were amiable but inside, they have been eyeing each other. So every year the four kingdoms will have an exchange banquet. To say it nicely, it is every kingdoms representatives being exchanged when, in fact, it was assessing their ns.
Since its like this, find the oldest one to have a peace marriage with our kingdoms eldest princess, granting her reputation of a princess! Feng Yi Xuan continued to review documents. There was no soft-heartedness to this older sister born of the same father but different mothers.

secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian stood on Xiao Jin Pavilions third floor, looking down at the beautiful women blow. No one knows what she was looking at.
Master? Bai Lian stood behind Lan You Nian, her voice carried a young girls shyness. She never thought she could see master again so quickly. The skin exposed outside of the mask was like snow, delicate and smooth, seemingly easily breakable, a pair of ck eyes of excellent craftsmanship that you couldnt see the bottom to, with a cold chill, letting people know that the moth will burn but still proceeded without hesitation.
En! Lan You Nian nodded, returned to the room on the third floor and sat down. She nced at Bai Lians real face. Every time Bai Lian went on stage to dance, she either wore a veil or disguise her face. This was Lan You Nian ns for Bai Lian. If in the future Bai Lian wanted to live a normal life, then she can use her real face to appear in front of people. She can say bye to her past. After all, Bai Lian has stayed in the brothel. Although she was qingguan, but cant prevent others wont over think.
Third brother hasnt returned yet? Lan You Nian asked. After all, she came here today to find third brother. Who knows which gentle arms third brother ran off to.
Third young master probably wont be back for a while, does master want to eat? Bai Lian was greedy for every second she spent with master. It was usually very difficult to see master. Masters whereabouts were mysterious, so she can only stay here to wait for master. When master came, he would be able to see her. She knew master needed intelligence so she as the mainstay of Xiao Jin Pavilion, even pushed the reputation of Xiao Jin Pavilion even further, striving to reach the young courtesans below her to obtain more information for master.
Not yet! Lan You Nian looked over Xiao Jin Pavilions ounts, casually replied.
Then Bai Lian will go make some food for master to taste alright? Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian, eyes filled with expectations.
Lan You Nian stopped her current action of slipping the ount books, looked up at Bai Lian. That pair of starry gemstone eyes carefully looked over Bai Lian, Bai Lian stood awkwardly under Lan You Nians tant gaze.
Master? Bai Lian asked uneasily afraid master hated her and wanted her to leave. She didnt expect to be favored by master, she only wished to silently watch over master, stay with master.
Nothing, you can go! Lan You Nian withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the ounts. Bai Lian released a sigh of relief and left happily, after all master will be eating the food she will she making.
When Bai Lian left, Lan You Nian raised her eyes in thought. Bai Lian was a good woman. She was not trapped by the world, had her own ideas and persistence but she didnt expect Bai Lian had feelings for her, feelings she cant possibly return. Her indifference towards Bai Lian did not make this woman jealous or resentful. She still stayed in Xiao Jin Pavilion in her own silent way. Lan You Nian now understood that the biggest reason was probably because of her.
What? Our little junior sister finally realizes youre held up thedy? Gui San walked into the room grinning, clearly he saw everything.
Whether or not Nianer has held up thedy, I dont know but where has third brother gone to hold up another youngdy? Lan You Nian crossed her arms across her chest, demanded fiercely. Her indifference and alienation towards Bai Lian was gone. Now she clearly looked like a little girl.
Little junior sister has done third brother injustice. Your third brother has flipped over a new leaf. You must believe third brother! Gui San even wanted squeeze out a few tear drops but no matter how hard he tried, there wasnt any tears. Instead it made Lan You Nian shake withughter.
Then what were you doing? Ive been waiting for a long time! Lan You Nian said in dissatisfaction. In fact she was acting spoiled in front of Gui San.
Of course Gui San knew this. Usually little junior sister will only act spoiled for shifu. Later, after their hardwork, little junior sister will asionally act spoiled with them. When little junior acts spoiled, it gave them a sense of pride of being an older brother.
Isnt it because recently a restaurant opened across from Zhen Wei Pavilion. They are copying our Zhen Wei Pavilion in many ways. But they dont have Zhen Pavilions dishes or zither talents. Although the effects on Zhen Wei Pavilion isnt big, but Im afraid this is directed at Wu Qing Pavilion, so I went to take a look! Gui San said.
Find out who opened it? Lan You Nian instinctively knew this wasnt so simple. A copy-cat restaurant opening across from Zhen Wei Pavilion, isnt this provocation? It seems there will be something fun to y with.
Because it just opened, hasnt debuted yet so still under investigation. But it will be done soon! Gui San squinted his eyes saying. Their Wu Qing Pavilions businesses although havent been established very long but their influence was great, no one dared to provoke them so tantly.
En, you look into it! Lan You Nian was reassured handing over all the business matters to Gui San, giving the several brothers work to do, Lan You Nian handed it over easily enough.
Bai Lian walked into the room with a tray of exquisite dishes and ced them on the eight immortal table, curtsied, Master, third master!
Oh, Bai Lian, youre really biased. This young master has been here for so long yet I have never seen you make a meal for this young master. Now as soon as hees, you personally cook yourself, really makes this young master jealous! Gui San sat down starting to eat, but his mouth was unforgiving.
Bai Lian looked shyly at Lan you Nian, when she saw Lan You Nians expression didnt change, she didnt know whether she was relieved or upset inside, but Bai Lian still smiled, Third master is teasing, Bai Lian had some time today so made some
Gui Wu wanted to say more but Lan You Nian interrupted Gui Sans words, Lets eat together! Since she came here, Bai Lian was always beside her. She probably didnt eat. Looking at her, she probably wont leave either. So it was best to eat together.
Bai Lain will just serve on the side! Although Bai Lian was very happy but was aware of her current identity. Although she had a very high status before, but in front of master, she always felt inferior, always felt she was not worthy of master.
Sit down, when have you be like this? I remember when I saw you the first time you werent like this! Lan You Nian smiled. After all, at first nce Bai Lian was not only beautiful but very noble bearing. It was a nobleness that made people feelfortable without any trace of arrogance.
I.... Bai Lian wanted to say more but was pressed down on the chair, then the three sat down and ate together.
Bai Lian felt like she was in a trance. She was sitting at the same table as master eating the food she made. Thinking back to the words master said, she could no longer remember what she was like in the past. But she would never forget what master was like then. He was her salvation, her sun, the dream she wanted to chase in this life.
Oh right, did youe here for something? Gui San asked. Although they were all in the capital but little junior sister rarely came here.
En, I want you to tell the subordinates to pay attention. I need a medicine, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, but this is only documented in the books. I have never heard of it in any ce. So I need your help to find it! Lan You Nian said seriously. A few days ago, shifu sent a letter saying that the poison in her body, shifu has already started to study what is needed for the antidote, now it is certain that he needed Heavenly Spirit Fruit, a very rare spirit fruit. After all, Lan You Nian have never seen it, nor has shifu so this medicine was indeed rare.
Bai Lians hand paused in picking up the food, eyes shed with an unknown light.
Because the poison in your body? If we find the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, will it cure the poison? Gui San asked anxiously. After he finished asking, he remembered that there was another person in the room. Gui Sans eyes squinted, he cannot allow anyone to be a threat to little junior sister, so this Bai Lian...
Master? Youre poisoned? The chopsticks in Bai Lians fell onto the ground. Why wasnt she aware that master has been poisoned for so many years?
Its nothing! Lan You Nianforted. Then nced at Gui San. She knew Gui San was afraid Bai Lian will lead to some unknown variables with her knowledge, so Gui San wanted to end Bai Lian. Although he had a good impression of Bai Lian but it cantpare to little junior sister. Under the mask of Gui Sans smile, it was a cruel heart.
The Heavenly Spirit Fruit is only one of the medicines in the antidote. I cantpletely cure the poison in my body! Lan You Nian told Gui San. When she saw Gui Sans disappointment, she knew everyone has spent a lot of effort on the poison in her body.
I know. I will tell the subordinates to put down the things on hand, find the Heavenly Spirit Fruit first, your body is most important! Gui San knew since shifu already needed the medicine, then he can definitely develop the antidote.
I know, master, I know where the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is! Bai Lian suddenly said. When she heard master was poisoned, she was starting to worry. She must save master.
You know? Where is it? Where is it? Gui San asked, eyes shed with surprise. After all, they the Medical Valleys disciples dont even know where the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was, but Bai Lian knew, this was really lucky.
Third brother, you leave first, I want to talk with Bai Lian! Lan You Nian pulled Gui San up. She knew Gui Sans anxiety, but she had her own ideas.
Gui San knew his little junior sister was someone with her own ns, so nodded and left the room. If Bai Lian didnt tell little junior sister where the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was, then he will definitely pry open Bai Lians mouth.
When the room was only left with Lan You Nian and Bai Lian, Lan You Nian stood up, Bai Lian also stood up. Neither of them spoke.
Master, I havent ever told you my true identity. I didnt mean to deceive. I am actually the third princess of Yue, Yue Bai Lian! Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian. She didnt hide her own name. It would be easy for Lan You Nian to investigate if she wanted to.
En, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is in Yue? Lan You Nian asked. After all, Bai Lian now confessed her identity, then it meant the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was rted to Yue.
Yes, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is in the imperial pce of Yue. There is only one. And only the Emperor can use it! Bai Lian said truthfully. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit was in Yues imperial pce was not known by anyone. She only knew because she was the imperial princess.
En, I know, thank you Bai Lian! Lan You Nian said sincerely. After all, from Bai Lians circumstances of these years, she can tell she didnt like Yues imperial pce, didnt like that memory, but now she can tell this to her, Lan You Nian felt unexpected.
Master, I want to return to Yues imperial pce! Bai Lian said suddenly, eyes filled with determination.
Because of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit? Lan You Nian asked, eyes shed with emotions, even though this woman had feelings for her that shouldnt exist.
Yes, the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, if you arent a member of the imperial family, then you cant get it. And I can get it! Bai Lian didnt deny it. She didnt say this to let master know her own good but because she cant hide it from master, then she admitted it frankly.
I dont agree, since I know where the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is, I can get it myself. I know you dont want to go back, so dont force yourself to do anything you dont want to, do you understand Bai Lian? Lan You Nian said, her disapproval was obvious.
No, master, there are some things I cannot evade forever, and some things I need to avenge, master, I need to go back to face my past! Bai Lian insisted. She was not a delicate female. She was strong enough.
Lan You Nian looked at Bai Lian, knew she was determined. Every person had their own ideas. This Bai Lian was better. After all she couldnt say in Xiao Jin Pavilion forever. A brothel is not where she belonged.
Alright, since you have decided, I wont say more. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit, dont force it! Lan You Nian said, then was going to leave the room. She has been gone for a long time. It was time she went back.
Master.... Bai Lian called out Lan You Nian who was going to leave, her voice was small but clear, Master, Bai Lian admires master!
Bai Lian seemed to let out a sigh of relief, she finally said it, no matter how master will look at her, she still wanted to express her own heart.
Sorry Lan You Nian walked towards Bai Lian, the low and hoarse male voice changed back to the sweet and pleasing female voice. Bai Lian widened her eyes, seemed to hear something inconceivable but Lan You Nians next words let her know she didnt hear wrong,Bai Lian, Im a girl!
Master? Bai Lian stared at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian did not evade. She saw the shock and surprise in Bai Lians eyes, and a trace of helpless pain, but she didnt see her resentful and unwillingness from being deceived.
It took Bai Lian a long time to ept this fact. She thought of every time she saw master, master has never told her his gender, it was she who thought master was a man. After all how could such a carefree, uninhibited, and talented person be a girl? The feelings in Bai Lians heart did not change because of masters identity. Perhaps the heart has fallen from the moment she saw master.
Master, can Bai Lian see masters real face? Consider it Bai Lians wish! Bai Lian said softly, seemingly unchanged. From a long time ago, she has fantasized what master looked like. Now that she was leaving, she wished to always remember master.
How would Lan You Nian not understand Bai Lians thoughts. Perhaps she was really touched by this stubborn and kind woman, Lan You Nian slowly took down her own mask.
Bai Lians eyes looked at Lan You Nians real face, watching her master look at her, then her lips tugged upwards, her eyebrows lifted, eyes full of brilliance, revealing a light but sweet smile, a single smile can overthrow the city.
Bai Lian thought she would never forget this unparalleled face, will never forget this girls smile.
It turns out master is smaller than me! Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian sillily. She always knew that master was still young, but her aura made people ignore her age but now revealing masters real face, she knew, she was very young.
Otherwise, do you think Im just short? Lan You Nian smiled.
Bai Lians eyes shed, master without her mask was even more charming, even her face lost all color in front of master....
Chapter 97 - Souring Birthday Banquet
97 Souring Birthday Banquet
May 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
When Lan You Nian and the others arrived at junzhu manor, there were already many people there. Today was Hua Mu Qings birthday. Based on Hua Mu Qings personality, she wouldnt usually hold such a grand birthday banquet and invite so many sons and young misses of officials. Even a few imperial consorts havee. Lan You Nian heard this was the Emperors will.
Several of the wangye did not have an official consort. Although the Emperor wanted to intervene in Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuans marriage, he knew these two sons wouldnt listen to his arrangement. So he took advantage of Hua Mu Qings birthday to hold this banquet for everyone to interact more and allow several wangye see if they have a girl they favored. To speak frankly it was a blind date.
When Lan Mo Xian and Lan you Nian arrived at junzhu manor, Hua Mu Qing ran gaily to Lan You Nians sideining, You guys are finally here! Otherwise I cant stay a minute longer!
Happy birthday! Lan You Nian hugged Hua Mu Qing then took out a beautifully packaged box, Birthday present!
Nianer meimei gives the best gift! Hua Mu Qing did not give it to the housekeeper like she did with the other gifts. Instead she personally ced Lan You Nians gift back in her room.
This isnt only little sisters credit; I have a part in it too! Lan Mo Xian blurted out. Hua Mu Qings face suddenly reddened, and did not bicker like usual.
Lan You Nian detected there was something going on between the two. Without her noticing, these two have started to have feelings for each other. She was truly optimistic about older brother and Hua Mu Qing. The two were not only well-matched, both of their personalities were forthright and daring, and the two were already old enough to marry. For Hua Mu Qings personality to enter Lan manor, it would be most fitting.
Thanks! Hua Mu Qing thanked. Lan Mo Xian awkwardly waved his hand and saw Lan You Nian suddenlyugh.
Nianer meimei, what are youughing at? Hua Mu Qing became even more red, uneasily shook Lan You Nian to try to prevent Lan You Nian fromughing.
Suddenly a st of internal force blew by. Lan Mo Xian hurriedly wretched Hua Mu Qing away. If he were any slower, Hua Mu Qing would definitely have gotten hurt, though it wouldnt be anything serious.
Hua Mu Qing was frightened. The hand that was pulled by Lan Mo Xian trembled. She turned back to see who dared to touch her in her own manor but when she looked back and saw Feng Xia Qi, Feng Yi Xuan and Jing Wu An, it was obvious the one who made the attack was Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan coldly red at Hua Mu Qings hand, the hand that was just shaking Lan You Nian.
The anger Hua Mu Qing was going let out instantly vanished. She even hid behind Lan Mo Xian. She can clearly sense Ming wang was going to cut off her hand. Every time Ming wang was there, whether it was male or female, he didnt allow any to get close to Nianer meimei. Really strange!
Enough AXuan, you cant treat junzhu so roughly. After all, today is junzhus birthday! Feng Xia Qi was shocked by his brothers sudden move. He wanted to stop him but it was already toote.
Feng Yi Xuan shot Hua Mu Qing a warning look. Hua Mu Qing shrank her neck, and distanced herself from Lan You Nian. Only then did Feng Yi Xuan retract his cold gaze.
Junzhu, who hase today? He Chu Yang asked seeing theing and going young masters and youngdies.
Those who coulde, all came. I heard the Emperor wille today too. It seems today there will definitely be some marriages gifted down! Hua Mu Qing said with dissatisfaction. Her birthday mood was totally ruined by some people. Looking at those pretentious youngdies, she felt irritated.
Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed. It seemed imperial father really wanted to gift marriage to some people but they knew imperial father wouldnt gift them marriage. That night, they made things perfectly clear. If father was determined, then dont me them for rebelling.
I say, you guys cant run anymore! Yu Liu Li suddenly appeared and teased the others. The imperial family was like this, without any freedom at all. Even marriage was like this. Luckily, he was in the pugilistic world, Amongst you, robably only Nianer meimei can escape. After all, Nianer meimei is still young!
Everyone nodded reassured. Lan You Nian was only thirteen. Girls would be arranged marriages when they were usually fifteen or sixteen. Emperor Feng Xuan was a rtively enlightened emperor wouldnt make things difficult for others. Most of the time, many young masters anddies had someone they liked so they would ask for marriage.
Mu Qing jiejie dont be angry. How about after the banquet, we go sit at Xiao Jin Pavilion? Lan You Nian cajoled Hua Mu Qings angry little face.
Really? Hua Mu Qing and Yu Liu Li cried gleefully. Hua Mu Qing was simply curious while Yu Liu Li goes wherever it was lively.
No! Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, He Chu Yang, Lan Mo Xian five refused. Although Xiao Jin Pavilion wasnt as licentious as other brothels, but it was still a brothel. What woman goes to brothels? If Lan You Nian was led astray, what were they to do? Everyone looked at disapproval at Lan You Nian.
Nianer already arranged a box. Even it if its not allowed, were still going. This is settled! Lan You Nian ignored several of the others looks and said to Hua Mu Qing, Mu Qing jiejie, spending your birthday like this will definitely be different!
Nianer meimei you are too good! You know, I have wanted to go to a brothel to see what it looks like for a long time. Today I finally can go! Hua Mu Qing said happily only for Lan Mo Xian look at Hua Mu Qing unhappily.
Thest time I went with Feng Xia Qi to Xiao Jin Pavilion, thedies there were really..tsk tsk! Yu Liu Li reflected back on the memory.
Hey, Yu Liu Li, I didnt do anything. You were the one who dragged me there! Feng Xia Qi instantly cleared all connection, with an expression of I am innocent.
I didnt do anything either. I just went to take a look. What are you panicking about! Yu Liu Li looked down at Feng Xia Qi then to Lan You Nian, he said charmingly, Nianer meimei, you picked the box on the third floor right?
What? Not willing? Lan You Nian deliberately pretended to be angry. Every time she went to visit Wu Qing Pavilions businesses, she always took the third floor. This was a force of habit.
Willing! Yu Liu Li and Hua Mu Qing said in unison.
Not allowed! Feng Yi Xuan eyes were full of deep light. Whether male or female, they cannot take away Nian Nians attention.
Alright, were only going to sit and check it out. Why talk as if were going to do something there. If you dont agree then Ill just go with Mu Qing jiejie and Liu Li gege! Lan You Nian huffed deliberately.
When everyone heard this, what more could they say? Afraid that Yu Liu Li led Lan You Nian astray, although not willing, they finally agreed. Feng Yi Xuan seeing such a slippery Nian Nian, his eyes were full of doting and helplessness. He couldnt do anything against her.
The housekeeper came and reported that all the guests were almost there. Hua Mu Qing led everyone into the inner courtyard, not afraid that she would cause tongues to wag because she the host of the banquet did not greet the guests. She was by herself. What rumors was she afraid of?
Upon entering junzhus inner courtyard, weing them were threerge characters, Mu Qing Pavilion. Several cycad trees and several other well-known trees were nted in front of the doorway. Green leaves were everywhere. Under the sunlight, they were fresh and bright. Crossing the stone arch, a ten meter high fake mountain stood tall and straight in magnificence. Beneath the mountain was a winding lotus pond, with a small bridge over flowing water, the ding dong, ding dong sounds mixed with bursts ofughter, intertwining into a moving piece of music. At the top of the mountain peak, with twists and turns, the tree of heaven and flowers of first spring intermixed with yellows and greens, a particrly moving sight. Green mountains and green waters, pavilion and towers, a picturesque scenery.
Nianer meimei, is sisters inner courtyard pretty? Hua Mu Qing asked proudly. The arrangements of this inner courtyard took up a lot of her time. When building this junzhu manor, she spent a lot of thought on this inner courtyard.
The scenery is really nice! Lan you Nian praised. She didnt expect Hua Mu Qings junzhu manor to be so beautiful.
Since Nianer meimei likes, thene more often. Otherwise, living alone in such a big junzhu manor is boring! Hua Mu Qingmented.
Since Mu Qing jiejie feels lonely, how about go to Nianers ce instead? If youe with a different identity, it will be even better! Lan You Nian said, eyes drifting between Hua Mu Qing and Lan Mo Xian. Everyone understood Lan You Nians meaning and smiled ambiguiously.
You, Nianer meimei, when have you be so talkative! Hua Mu Qing cried with embarrassment.
Junzhu has be angry from embarrassment, Jing Wu. An interjected.
It looks like it to me! He Chu Yang looked grave as he nodded. Now Lan Mo Xian couldnt keep silent.
Lets go to the banquet. Otherwise if the host isnt there, who knows what theyll gossip about! Finished, he dragged Hua Mu Qing away.
When they arrived at the banquet, each wangye, princess, young master and youngdy were already seated in their arranged seats. Hua Mu Qing and the others were seated at the same table. Although the status of each person was different, and the co-gender group did not conform to the rules but who dared to provoke the people of this table?
Announcing His Mahesty! Eunuch Lus sharp voice rang and everyone stand up in salutation. Wearing a yellow dragon robe, Feng Xuan and Noble Consort Lin walked into the banquet. As soon as Noble Consort entered, her eyesnded on Lan You Nian, provoking Feng Yi Xuans cold aura.
Alright, rise. Today is Mu Qings birthday. Zhen specially came to take a look. You young people continue to y yourselves. The Emperor sat with Noble Consort Lin at the very top. He checked to see if there were any outstanding women at the banquet. However when he saw his sixth son, fourth son, and Hua Mu Qing sitting at the same table as a girl he didnt recognize, he couldnt help his curiosity.
Mu Qing ah, what do you want for your birthday? The Emperor said kindly to Hua Mu Qing. Although his mien was stern, his tone was much kinder. After all Hua Mu Qing was a pitiful child. Otherwise Emperor wouldnt give her the title of junzhu.
Thanks Your Majesty. Mu Qing is already very happy that Your Majesty cane! Hua Mu Qing said endearingly. Although she was usually very fierce but in front of the emperor, she put away much of her temper. After all this person controlled their life and death and honor.
Haha, Mu Qing, when have you learned to speak like this? Eunuch Lu, give the things to Mu Qing! The Emperor seemed to be overjoyed by Hua Mu Qings words. Eunuch Lu had a eunuch who came with him to gift down tray after tray, each with various kinds of jewelry.
Many thanks Your Majesty! Hua Mu Qing curtsied. Though her face showed her happiness, there was not a trace of fondness for the objects rewarded. Hua Mu Qing didnt care for these materialistic things. It was the same every year. She no longer had any interest.
Mu Qing ah, the little girl beside you belongs to which family? Howe zhen hasnt seen her before? Emperor seemingly unintentionally asked. In fact, when he noticed this young girl with a veil covering her face, sitting with his sons, Jing Wu An, and the others, he knew she wasnt a normal young miss from an officials family. The Emperor was curious.
Lan You Nian was thinking about other things when the Emperor said her name. She pushed her thoughts into the back of her mind, stood up lithely and gently curtsied, This girl is General Lan, Lan Jian Juns daughter-Lan You Nian!
Oh? You are General Lans daughter. Zhen has heard about you from the imperial tutor before! The Emperor carefully inspected her. What was so different about this girl that made so many people want to protect her?
It is this girl! Toda, Lan You Nian still wore a veil so you could only see a pair of pure eyes. A face without any makeup, clothed in a pure white dress, a freshly picked white hibiscus tucked into her hair, besides this, there was only an exquisite jasper seven treasure hairpin. Simply standing there, she was a picturesque image. Meeting the Emperors gaze, she did not evade as if nothing made her afraid.
When the Emperor realized this, he knew this girl was indeed different. Whatdy of the boudoir would be so unhurried when meeting the Emperor for the first time. She even dared to meet his gaze. Although this girl was young, but the aura she possessed was one the Emperor has never seen before, noble and heavenly aura, unattainable by mere mortals.
En, indeed a good child! The Emperor nodded allowing Lan You Nian to sit back down. Not everyone had the same thoughts. They have all seen Lan You Nians talent, and the fact she was little sister to several people with high status, in addition with the Emperors praise, most women looked jealously at Lan You Nian. Although the men were captivated by Lan You Nian, however not only was she still young, she was also disfigured, so more or less it blocked their desires.
Cheer, see a woman you like? If you ask for marriage today, it will definitely seed ! Noble Consort Lin said to Feng Lin Che sitting beside her. Attending this banquet for the most part was because her son needed to marry an official consort, an official consort who can help her son.
Mother Consort, what do you think of her? Feng Lin Ches finger pointed at a woman.
Her? Noble Consort Lin followed his gaze to look at the woman, asked her son in confusion.
Chapter 98 - Reject Marriage
98 Reject Marriage
May 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
The woman Feng Lin Che pointed at was Lan You Nian. She was dressed in white sitting beside Feng YI Xuan. Her posture was graceful as clouds and flowing water.
Suddenly, Feng Yi Xuan who was sitting beside her turned back and crossed eyes with Feng Lin Che. Feng Lin Ches finger was still pointed at Lan You Nian. Feng Yi Xuans handsome jade face seeped with a hint of chill. Deep within the coldness was a trace of ruthlessness. It made Feng Lin Che fearfully retract his finger.
Why her? This girl has yet toe of age, Noble Consort Lin asked confused. In fact she had some interest in this Lan manors legitimate daughter. Last time, she dodged the Empresss scheme and dealt with the eldest princess. This girl was able to hold her own. So today upon arrival to the banquet she assessed Lan You Nian, wondering if she could use her for her own purposes. She didnt expect her son to want to marry this girl as an official consort.
Mother Consort, do you know she is General Lans beloved daughter? Lan Mo Xians favorite sister? Feng Lin Ches sinister eyes shed with calction.
You want to win over Lan manor, but you know Lan manor is standing on Ming wangs side. Besides, this girl is disfigured. Someone personally saw this girls face was like a ghost! Noble Consort Lin said in disapproval. Her son was prince. How can he marry such a girl as official consort?
So I must marry this girl as an offical consort right? Since she is so important in General Lans heart, as long as I control her, then I can easily pull Lan manor over. This girls rtionship with junzhu and heir is so good. If I marry her, Ill have a closer rtionship with these people! Feng Lin Che said his own ns as if Lan You Nian was an easily confused and controlled girl.
Seeing Noble Consort Lins disapproving gaze, Feng Lin Che continued, Mother consort is right, this Lan manors legitimate daughter isnt worthy of being my consort with her disfigurement. But since she is still young, we can settle it first to win over Lan manor. In the future who knows?
Sons meaning is... Noble Consort Lin eyes shed with the same sinister look.
Yes, as long as I get the support of Lan manor, if Lan manors legitimate daughter idently passed away, it cant be controlled by this wang right? Feng Lin Che crushed the pastry in his hands, saying his own ns.
My son is smart, mother consort will help you! Noble Consort Lin called over second princess Feng Yi Shuang to her side. Everyone knew second princess was Consort Sus daughter. Consort Su and Noble Consort Lin were like sisters. In fact Consort Su was not favored in the pce. She did not have son only a daughter, so Consort Su depended on Noble Consort Lin to survive in the pce, therefore second princess was one was Noble Consort Lins people.
Today the Emperor wanted to allow the young men and women know each other and exchange pleasantries. Some performed talents, then some young men came forward to ask the Emperor to sanction marriage. If the female party agreed, the Emperor will grant this marriage. From the start to present, there were already three pairs granted marriage.
The Emperor kept his eyes on his sixth son who hasnt looked at any women since the start of the banquet. Then he noticed a curious thing. That was his aloof son was picking up food for the girl beside him, taking great care of it. It was truly incredible. The Emperor thought back to the day his sixth son said he had a woman he loved. Was it this Lan familys legitimate daughter? Emperor looked at Lan You Nian, nodded in satisfaction. Although this girl was young but in every aspect, she was outstanding. Just her poem fromst time had many people in the pce praising her. It was a pity that her face was disfigured. But then again, he knew this son of his, once he decided on something, he would never let go. He wont change for a lifetime. What he cant do, this son of his will probably aplish. He as his father can only give him his blessings.
The Emperor nced at his fourth son. Although he was smiling at the performing women on the banquet, how could he be able to tell that no one entered his eye. These two sons really worried him.
Imperial Father! Feng Lin Che suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground. The women around him were surprised to see this, each one guessing who was so lucky to have taken the fancy of third wangye. Many women started to neaten themselves, fantasizing that they were the ones Feng Lin Che fancied.
Cheer ah, whats wrong? Which familysdy have you taken a liking to? The Emperor knew this third son should have an official consort. As long as it was good enough, he was willing to sanction the marriage.
Emperor father, erchen has always admired Lan manors third miss, ask Imperial father to grant the marriage! Feng Lin Che tilted his head, his eyes full of deep affection gazing upon Lan You Nian. It seemed as if he truly liked Lan You Nian.
The entire banquet gaped in surprise at Feng Lin Che, then looked at Lan You Nian who didnt even react. The one with the greatest reaction was Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans deep eyes were half-lidded, a trace of chill was found at the bottom of his eyes. The hands that were peeling fruit for Lan You Nian stopped. He prepared to stand up to kill Feng Lin Che.
Feng Yi Xuan was furious, so furious he wanted to kill. In the past, there was nothing important in his life. There was nothing that can cause his mood to change. But now he had a girl in his heart. No one was allowed to desire her, no one was allowed to covet her. Whoever dared to steal Nian Nian away from him, he will kill them all!
Xuan! Lan You Nian suddenly grasped Feng Yi Xuans hand that was umting his internal force. She just noticed there was something wrong with Feng Yi Xuan. A darkness surrounded Feng Yi Xuan as if he wanted to destroy everything. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was in a bad mood. She saw the other people at their table sweated cold sweat under Feng Yi Xuans pressure. Strangely, she felt fine. Under circumstances she never imagined, she grabbed Feng Yi Xuans hand and intimately called his name.
A soft call caused Feng Yi Xuans murderous aura to withdrawpletely, but the tyranny in his eyes did not disappear. His hand squeezed Lan You Nians small hand, wrapped Lan You Nians small hand inside his palms. His low voice sounded in Lan You Nans ears, Nian Nian can only be mine, he deserves to die!
Lan You Nian looked at the hand holding her small hand. The hand was slender and well-proportioned, white like jade, wider than a womans but did not look thick and ugly, the thumb and forefeeling were slight calloused, they was traces left by holding a pen and holding a sword all year long. Being so tightly held by such a hand, she wanted to always be held by him like this.
I wont marry him! Lan You Nian can sensitive to Feng Yi Xuans instable mood. He really will kill Feng Lin Che. She knew it was because of her, because he cared for her.
Lan You Nians soft voice was like a spring breeze blowing over Feng Yi Xuans cheeks, blowing into his heart. Thinking about Feng Lin Ches coveting, Feng Yi Xuan was still angry, He desires you!
Trust me! Seeing Feng Yi Xuans dark aura rising once again, Lan You Nian firmly looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Xuan, trust me!
Lan You Nian didnt know what she was saying. She only knew if she allowed Feng Yi Xuan to directly kill people, then he will be met with endless troubles in the future. This wasnt that calm and wise Feng Yi Xuan, but this Feng Yi Xuan moved her heart even more.
Really? Feng Yi Xuan asked, unsure. If he was unsatisfied with Lan You Nians response, he will definitely go on a killing spree. Feng Yi Xuans eyes already started to sh with purple. His mood was too vtile. The potion could no longer suppress the original color of his eyes.
Really! Lan You Nian whispered in a low tone, her soft tone allowed Feng Yi Xuans violence to finally quiet, his eyes returned to ck.
The Emperor was also stunned by Feng Lin Ches sudden request. He nced at Feng Yi Xuan. He could clearly feel from the look Feng Yi Xuan threw at him, it was tantly threatening him, threatening the Emperor of Feng, threatening his Imperial Father. Probably only Feng Yi Xuan would dare to do this.
The people at Lan You Nians table were all angry. Lan You Nian only just calmed down Feng Yi xuan. Hua Mu Qing was ready to stand up and p down on the table. Lan Mo Xian stopped her just in time, but his face was bad too, not to mention the others.
Hmph! Thisosan is scheming again. He even dares to scheme Nianer meimei. Indeed hes been living toofortably for too long! Feng Xia Qis fox eyes were full of coldness. Feng Lin Che didnt sincerely like Nianer meimei. He only saw the Lan family behind Nianer meimei.
How is this man so shameless? Nianer meimei should go wander in the pugilistic world with me! Yu Liu Li was dissatisfied with Feng Lin Ches actions. Although teasing with his words, but the tone carried with it his protectiveness towards Lan You Nian, basically stating she could refuse. At the worst, she would go to pugilistic world with him.
Nianer meimei! Lan Mo Xian worriedly looked at Lan Yu Nian, Dont be afraid, brother wont let you be wronged!
Lan You Nian seeing everyones undisguised concern and worry for her, feeling the hand being held tightly under the table, Lan You Nian suddenly smiled. Her eyebrows curved, eyes glowed, overflowing with brilliance. The entire garden scene behind her lost all color.
Cheer likes Lan manors third miss? The Emperor once again asked, but knew for sure he wont grant Feng Lin Ches wish. Although they were all his children but not all his children can receive his fatherly love.
Reply to Imperial Father, yes, Lan manors third miss is very intelligent. Erchen is very fond of her! Feng Lin Che said looking at Lan You Nian, causing a round of confusion in the people at the banquet. After all, everyone knew Lan You Nian was disfigured. Who would fancy such a girl?
But zhen remembers Lan manors girl is very young! Emperor tone held an unclear meaning. Usually, Feng Lin Che will immediately withdraw, but now he needed help, so cannot retreat.
So erchen asks Imperial father to arrange marriage for Lan manors third miss and erchen! Feng Lin Che kowtowed requesting, letting many people think Feng Lin Che truly liked Lan You Nian.
The Emperors expression was displeased. He didnt expect this third son to be so insensible. The Emperor nced at the still elegant and quiet Lan You Nian. He liked Lan You Nians conduct.
This, what her name? Feng Xuan asked Eunuch Lu.
Lan You Nian! Eunuch Lu said to the Emperor.
Lan You Nian, Lan girl, right? Cheer says he likes you and wants to marry you. He wants to settle it first. Lan girl what do you think? Emperors tone was much softer. Anyone would like Lan You Nian who had such a pair of pure eyes.
Lan You Nian gently pinched Feng Yi Xuans palm. Feng yi Xuan reluctantly let go. Lan You Nian pursed her lips, reapplying her makeup lightly and with light lotus steps curtsied. An indifferent sweet-sounding voice rose, Answering Your Majesty, this girl is not willing!
Feng Yi Xuan was instantly satisfied. His eyes watching Lan You Nian was full of smiles, as easily satisfied as a child.
Lan Mo Xian and the others nodded. This must be done. Then each thought if Emperorid me, how they could save the situation, so Lan You Nian will not be affected.
Many people at the banquet thought Lan You Nian didnt know whats good for her. A disfigured girl dared to reject third wangye. Was there was problem with this girl?
The Emperor expressed Lan You Nians reply satisfied him. This way he can better reject third sons request. After all if he refused Feng Lin Ches request without any reason, it will make others suspicious. It was good this girl didnt likeosan. This way his sixth sons chance would be much higher.
Miss Lan, Cheer really likes you, why arent you willing? Or does Miss Lan want something else? Noble Consort Lin angrily snapped. She didnt disdain this disfigured Lan You Nian yet she from the very start rejected her son. If not because of Lan manor, who will fancy a disfigured girl.
In the face of Noble Consort Lins question and everyone curiosity, Lan You Nians bright ck eyes swept away the emotions in her eyes. Under the veil pink lips slightly curled, her tone soft, What this girl wants, third wangye cant give. This girl doesnt like third wangye!
You! Noble Consort Lin wanted to reprimand Lan You Nian, but with a nce at the Emperor, she retracted her voice.
What does Miss Lan want? This wang will definitely grant it! Feng Lin Che was angry. Those gloomy eyes swept over Lan You Nian, wanting to squeeze her to death.
Does third wangye have bad hearing? Its not that you cant give this girl something, but this girl doesnt like third wangye! Lan You Nian said mercilessly. This lovely voice uttered words that made Feng Lin Che lose face.
Ai, since Lan girl doesnt like Cheer you, then dont force it. This thing is over, The Emperor said. Who dared to say anything? Who dared to oppose? The Emperor continued to say, Lan girl is young. Cheer you are so insensible.
Erchen was thoughtless! Feng Lin Che lowered his head, his eyes shed with gloomy unwillingness. Imperial father was clearly helping Lan You Nian. He didnt care about his own son.
Okay, okay, let the banquet continue! Young peoples feelings zhen doesnt understand, continue to y! The Emperor said. The already cooled down banquet continued to be lively. But what every person was thinking inside was unknown.
Chapter 99 - Miss Miao Yin’s Identity Revealed
99 Miss Miao Yins Identity Revealed
May 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Perhaps because of Lan You Nians frank rejection, the eyes of many people at the banquet would be cast towards Lan You Nians table from time to time. The people at this table were no ordinary people. They still continued with what they were doing, not at all affected. At Noble Consort Lins table, something was obviously wrong. You could feel the dark aura around their table.
When Lan You Nian returned to her seat, Feng Yi Xuan grabbed onto Lan You Nians small hands under the table. Although he wanted to openly hold Nian Nians small hands, but looking at Nian Nian, he knew she wasnt willing. Feng Yi Xuans heart seemed to be applied with sweet honey. His Nian Nian heartlessly rejected other unscrupulous men. Nian Nian never said those words to him. Doesnt that mean Nian Nian liked him?
Nianer meimei did well! He Chu Yang praised. Did third wangye think Nianer meimei didnt have a backbone?
Nianer meimei, mighty! Hua Mu Qing said excitedly as if the one who did the rejecting was her.
Third wangye will bear a grudge. Mo Xian, in the future you must pay more attention. One Empress faction is already a headache, now theres a third wangye faction, Nianer meimeis safety is most important! Jing Wu An said sensibly.
I understand, I will protect little sister! Lan Mo Xian said seriously. No matter what happens, he was his little sisters support. So many people want to steal the position of brother, he felt stuffy inside thinking about it. Just wait until the future when Lan Mo Xian meets Gui Yi and the others, he would be speechless. Having such a good little sister, he didnt have any status as the older brother.
Noble Consort Lin shot second princess a look. Second princess quietly nodded, then looked at Lan You Nian who sat there, was still able to attract people without an exquisite face.
Noble Consort Lin triumphantly looked at Lan You Nian. A small generals daughter dared to look down on her son. In this case, shell make her shame herself. Make her unable to marry in the future. Only this way can she vent her resentment.
Imperial Father, erchen has admired Miss Lan since hearing her poem. Miss Lan must be talented. Imperial Father knows erchen likes to y the zither and dance the most. Today, erchen wants to ask Miss Lan to offer pointers. Will Imperial Father allow it? second princess Feng Yi Shuang stood there looking very eager.
Nianer meimei, trouble is here! Jing Wu An smiled. If it was anything else, they will worry but if it wasparing talents, who canpare to Nianer meimei? She was the Miss Miao Yin who has shaken every kingdom. Whether it was her zither or her song, if she imed number 2 in the world, who would im they are number one?
Tsk tsk, second imperial sister will lose face! Feng Xia Qi gloated. This was exactly the other peoples thoughts.
Oh? Zhen heard Lan girls poem was really good. Since Shuanger says this, you two canpare talents. Can Lan girl y the zither? Ever since the Emperor knew his sixth son liked this girl, he felt some protectiveness towards this Lan You Nian. The girl, the Emperor felt, wasnt bad. She was Imperial Tutors granddaughter and was General Lans daughter.
Before Lan You Nian could reply, Lan Yin stood up and said, Answering the Emperor, third sister is very clever. ying the zither is nothing difficult! Lan Yin said while throwing a gloating look at Lan You Nian. He has never seen this third sister y the zither. It was difficult enough that a girl can create poems, how could she know to y the zither too? Lan You Nian, just wait to lose face.
Imperial father, you see? How can Miss Lan not know these. Please agree to it! The second princess acted spoiled..
Alright, alright! The Emperor agreed. After all, it was just a talentpetition. It wasnt anything bad. Every time there was a banquet, there were too many of these things.
Is Miss Lan willing? The second princess looked at Lan You Nian who simply sat there, her eyes filled with arrogance. Since young she learned to dance and y the zither, these female talents. In this entire Feng, probably only that Miss Miao Yins zither was better than hers. No one else canpare to her. Since Noble Consort Lin wanted her to give Lan You Nian a blow, she will definitely step on this girls pride.
Second princess first please! Lan You Nian finally looked up at the second princess, without any change in expression.
The second princess although angry at Lan You Nians careless attitude, still took up the zither and slowly sat down to y. Lan You Nian observed this second princess from far away. The second princess started to sing and y. Long hair raised high,bed into a high-profile shooting star chasing moon hairstyle, paired with some luxurious gold hairpins. A few golden earrings hung down the ears. Dressed in a gold and red exquisite dress, face beautiful, very delicate, like a blooming peony flower, absolutely enchanting. But such a conceited person, Lan You Nian wasnt fond of. Her zither did not have any soul, only technique; it was hollow splendor.
After ying a song, the second princess looked proudly at Lan You Nian. She seemed to be able to see Lan You Nians defeated expression. The surrounding praise made the second princess even more confident. Shehe was the most beautiful.
Second princess is really talented. Her dance is already beautiful. Even her zither is so good!
Yeah, probably none of the girls here canpare to second princess!
Second princess has beautiful talents, beautiful appearance, really worth of being an imperial princess!
The noise of the surrounding praise was not small. Not only the second princess heard this, Lan You Nian and the others heard this, even Emperor heard. True, the second princess did y well but that was if Lan You Nian wasnt there.
Miss Lan, please! the second princess said. Finished, she left the zither table at the center of the banquet and returned to her seat.
Lan You Nian didnt hurry as she headed towards the zither. Although this zither wasnt as good as Qing Shui Zither, she could manage.
Lan You Nians white slender hands fiddled with the zither strings. Bright zither music gently sounded, gradually overflowing like tide, filling every space in the banquet. The zither seemed to have a white sprite dancing with the wind. The dance was elegant and noble. There seemed like there was an eye-catching rose blooming, elegantly emitting the fragrance of the music.
When Lan You Nians zither yed, the entire banquet quieted. Everyone was immersed in the sound of Lan You Nians zither, even the Emperor wasnt no exception. Noble Consort Lin and second princess who were waiting to see Lan You Nians humiliation were stunned and furious. Noble Consort Lin red at second princess.
Lan You Nian opened her lips, the beautiful song seemed to awaken flowers, blowing away the haze. The music was flowing like clouds and water. The song seemed to be the cries of the nightingale.
On the Water Sideˮһ by Deng Li Jun
Green grass is dark green, white mist is foggy, there is a beautiful woman, on the water side.
Green grass is luxuriant, white mist is blurry, there is a beautiful woman, living by the water.
I am willing to go upstream, snuggle up beside her. Helpless against the rapids in front, the road is far and long.
I am willing to go downstream, searching for her direction. Instead it vaguely seemed, she was in the middle of the water.
I am willing to go upstream, to whisper sweet-nothings to her. Helpless against the rapids in front, the road endlessly twisting.
I am willing to go downstream, to find her footsteps. Instead it vaguely seemed, she in the middle of the water.
Green grass is dark green, white mist is foggy, there is a beautiful woman, on the water side.
When Lan You Nian finished singing, she curtsied to the Emperor then returned to her seat. But everyone remembered her singing voice. The song was sometimes moving, like trickling water lightly humming with its own unique charm. Sometimes it was beautiful, as if the tinkling of the drew drops on bamboo leaves.
The Emperor suddenly announced, Good! Indeed talented! General Lan has a good son and even has a such a bright daughter!
Such a familiar zither, such a beautiful song, everyone couldnt help but praise, but many people felt this sound was so familiar.
Ah, Miss Miao Yin! Suddenly a young master shouted at Lan You Nian. He was Miss Miao Yins loyal listener. Every time Miss Miao Yin went to Zhen Wei Pavilion he will always be there. Not only him, many people were the same.
After this young masters reminder, everyone gaped in surprised at Lan You Nian. Then they felt it was possible the more they thought about it. Then many men looked in worship at Lan You Nian. Even the Emperor, although living in the imperial pce, has heard of Miss Miao Yins reputation. It was a pity he has never heard it before but to hear it now, it was truly the most beautiful sound in the world.
Second princess red resentfully at Lan You Nian. In her heart, she always minded that this Miss Miao Yin was better than her in ying the zither. However, because the two did not interreact, this Miss Miao Yin did not steal her own limelight, she would not do anything to her. But she didnt expect Miss Miao Yin to be Lan You Nian. In the future who will remember her talent? How can the capitals number one talented woman still belong her? This Lan You Nian, shell rememer her!
Miss Lan is Miss Miao Yin? second wangye Feng Shao Chu asked. After all Miss Miao Yins name was well-known.
How can third sister be Miss Miao Yin? Third sister, the Emperor is here. You cant lie! Lan Ya said in concern but on the inside, she was hateful. Thest time Lan You Nian was in the limelight. This time she was once again in the limelight. She was Miss Miao Yin! How was it possible!? Lan You Nian-that pitiful worm that they could beat-how can she be so dazzling!
Many people were certain that Lan You Nian was Miss Miao Yin. Afterall besides Miss Miao Yin who can y such a beautiful music? Besides Miss Miao Yin, who can sing such novel and elegant songs? But many people were suspicious. Miss Miao Yin was very famous, but no one dared to pretend because Wu Qing Pavilion was protective of Miss Miao Yin. If you dared to pretend then it wont be long before you will appear in Xiao Jin Pavilions brothel selling your body.
How is Nianer meimei lying? What did Nianer meimei say? Youre really funny! You just cant see Nianer meimei good! Hua Mu Qing distained Lan Ya so couldnt help mocking her. If the Emperor wasnt here, she will definitely quarrel.
How can I mean that? Im only afraid third sister would lie for fame! Lan Yas eyes filled with tears.
Nianer meimei didnt say anything. How is it lying? Bedsides, Nianer meimei is Miss Miao Yin! Hua Mu Qing dered proudly. When everyone heard this, they started discussing. They didnt expect Lan You Nian to be Miss Miao Yin.
Lan girl, is Mu Qing telling the truth? You really are Miss Miao Yin? Emperor asked curiously.
Lan You Nians twin eyes as dark as night, calm like pools of water, replied to Emperor, Answering Your Majesty, this girl is Miss Miao Yin! When she stood up to perform, she already decided not to deny her identity. Miss Miao Yins identity will not bring her any danger.
Admitted, actually admitted! Lan You Nian really was Miss Miao Yin! No one was suspicious. After all, in this world who dared to pretend to be Miss Miao Yin? Besides they heard with their own ears Lan You Nians zither, this cant be denied.
The banquet ended with everyones shock. Many people before leaving took a peek at Lan You Nian. After today, the entire capital will boil over. Their goddess Miss Miao Yin was Lan manors third young miss! Now everyone knew why Miss Miao Yin didnt show her face. It turned out Miss Miao Yin was disfigured. Although many people felt it was a pity but it didnt stop them from admiring Lan You Nian. After all they liked her voice and zither, not her face.
Chapter 100 - Visit Brothel
100 Visit Brothel
May 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
The group of people entered Xiao Jin Pavilion. Standing on the third floor looking down over therge hall below. Red curtains, soft intarsia carpet, green columns surrounding the many tables ced in the center. On the white table cloth, gold, silver, and ss tableware sparkled. On the high tform was a long table, reaching from one end of the hall to the other about one hundred feet long. The rest of the tables formed a right angle with the tform. Two golden dazzlingnterns from the gold and red roof. The numerous frosted ss on thentern magnified the light. On the walls were gorgeous night lights shining.
Really beautiful! Hua Mu Qing looked down at theyout and the dancing women.
Pity, I heard Miss Bai Lian already left Xiao Jin Pavilion otherwise today we can see the capitals first beauty! Yu Liu Li said regrettably, but looked over at Lan you Nian, But seeing Nianer meimei, I know what true beauty is
Yu Liu Li, youre looking for a beating! Lan Mo Xian dissatisfied said, how could his little sister bepared to a courtesan.
Alright, lets go in! Yu Liu Li if you want to see beauties, go down and look, I guarantee there is one right for you! Feng Xia Qi finished and entered the box with everyone.
When everyone entered the box, they noticed Xiao Jin Pavilions other rooms were as red as fire but the room they entered was white. This was a clean and elegant room. Arge embroidered bed was ced in the middle of the room. It was covered with a white bedspread embroidered with flowers, on the left side an exquisite table, without any chairs, everyone could only sit on the ground. The floor was covered with a thickyer of woolen nkets, on the table there was a set of carved ss cups. The wall in the middle of the room, hung a ink painting...
This room is truly different. It doesnt look like a brothel at all! Jing Wu An praised. He really liked this environment.
Its really good. I have never seen a brothel with a room like this! He Chu Yang wasnt willing toe to the brothel at first but because everyone wasing and he was afraid cousin-sister will be led astray, so can only force himself toe. Who knew this Xiao Jin Pavilion did not have the powdered scent of a brothel, instead it was elegant, even the women in the brothel were not the kind to sell their body.
This environment is good, and the beauties are even better! Hua Mu Qing teased. It was her first time toe to this kind of ce. Because of her identity and because she was a female, she didnt ever think she would enter a brothel. It was simply amazing!
Right, today is Mu Qings birthday, whos paying? Yu Liu Li asked. After all, the expenses of Xiao Jin Pavilion werent low, especially as this was the third floor, although he had money, but he was being economical okay?
Its on me! Lan Mo Xian said.
Of course, I just knew Mo Xian will pay for it, today we can loosen up! Jing Wu An urged the others.
Everyone sipped on wine congratting Hua Mu Qings birthday. Hua Mu Qing this was the happiest birthday she has ever had.
Because theyre entering a brothel, Lan You Nian and Hua Mu Qing changed into mens clothing. Lan You Nian dressed as a man, unsurpassed beauty, face like jade, hairbed into a simple style, cascaded down like a waterfall, what a beautiful young man! Because of having drunk some wine, the usually pale face was rosy, making everyone swallow their saliva, in the end, it was Feng Yi Xuans cold aura that caused them toe back down to earth.
Nianer meimei, if you really are a man, Im afraid only AXuan canpare with you in this world! Feng Xia Qi looked at Lan You Nians stunning face, couldnt help but sigh. Although each one of them were quite handsome, but the one who was a beautiful as a celestial being was only Feng Yi Xuan, and now adding on Lan You Nian.
Yeah, fortunately Nianer meimei isnt male, otherwise the women of the world will be captivated! Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan You Nian with wide eyes, no matter how she looked, she was beautiful. Lan You Nian who was in mens clothing had both a celestial and demonic aura, letting people easily think she was a man.
Has Mu Qing jiejie been captivated? Lan You Nians thick, curly eyshes trembled, bright ck eyes slightly lidded, a faint smile on her lips, looking beautiful and dangerous.
Hua Mu Qing was dazed by Lan You Nians smile, when she sensed Feng Yi Xuans chilly gaze, only then did she return her focus, then blushingly shouted, You cant do this! Nianer meimei has be bad!
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Nian Nian who was different than usual. This Nian Nian seemed to have drunk a little too much as her face became red, seemed very cute. He really wanted to pinch her little face. Although he wanted to hide away each different Nian Nian, not allowing anyone to see so only he can cherish her, but seeing Nian Nian was happy with so many friends, he unconditionally pampered her, indulged her, as long as she was happy, he was willing to do anything.
~knock knock~ There was knocking at the door. Everyone was surprised. Since they entered the room, only a server boy came to bring the wine and snacks and food, there was no need for anyone else. Who could it be?
Lan You Nian seemed to have a guess. She stood up and opened the door. Indeed standing outside was Gui San, her third brother.
Everyone more or more recognized Gui San, knew he was Wu Qing Pavilions third master. Since Lan You Nian performed in Zhen Wei Pavilion, it was natural for her to know Gui San. Last time Lan You Nian was sick, they could tell this Gui San was anxious. It seems he was also Lan You Nians friend.
You guys dont mind one more person do you? Gui Sans twin eyes smiled, the shy red robes made him seem particrly bewitching.
Dont mind! Sit down! Hua Mu Qing was todays lead so of course must abide by her decisions. Fortunately Hua Mu Qing agreed. She was interested in this friend of Nianer meimeis. She wanted to know if Nianer meimei lived well in the past.
Although there was one more person, the atmosphere was still very good but after a while everyone noticed that Gui San was always smiling at everyone and got along with everyone, but only towards Lan Mo Xian was he poisonous. This sincere dislike caused Lan Mo Xian some confusion.
Perhaps because Gui San was too directed against Lan Mo Xian, He Chu Yang stood out and resolved the awkwardness, How about y something else?
Something else? Coming to my Xiao Jin Pavilion what else is there to y? Of course its to find beauties! Gui San smiled.
Yeah, since third master is the master of this ce, then find a few beauties to let us see! Yu Liu agreed. He wasnt that type of casual person buting to the brothel to look at beauties is still okay. After all Nianer meimei was so beautiful, he didnt dare look, his good friend Feng Yi Xuans gaze was too cold.
Gui San pped his hands, after a while, the prioress led in a few lightly dressed females. These prostitutes looks were quite beautiful, standing there was a beautiful scenery but it was a pity, besides Lan You Nian and Hua Mu Qing looking at them, the others didnt even look.
What are you doing standing there? Serve! Gui San said to the several girls.
Yes, third master! The women came to the side of Lan You Nian and the others to serve. These girls werent people of Wu Qing Pavilion, only ordinary prostitutes so when they saw several of the handsome men, more or less they had other ideas. If one of them took a fancy to them, then they could leave the brothel.
Amongst the group, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nians face was especially beautiful. The twos temperament was also very good. So there were women who set their mind on them.
A woman dressed in purple gossamer dress, showing off her soft chest slowly walked towards Feng Yi Xuan. From first nce, she knew this man was either rich or nobility, as long as she can connect herself with this man, she will definitely enjoy a life of riches.
Young master? the womans coy voice called Feng Yi Xuan, but before she could get any closer to Feng Yi Xuan, she was thrown out by Feng Yi Xuans attack, through all this Feng Yi Xuan didnt even look at the woman.
Feng Xia Qi and the others were not surprised. This was entirely within their expectations. For so many years, it wasnt that there werent any women who wanted to take down Feng Yi Xuan, but without exception, they were all thrown away. The end result was that the women were either dead or wounded. Slowly, no one dared to approach Feng Yi Xuan.
The other women seeing Feng Yi Xuans means, didnt dare to act rashly, obediently stayed on the side pouring wine for every young master only Feng Yi Xuan did not have a woman beside him because before a woman could reach him, it was the same scene as before.
Everyone started to drink and chat. At this time, a woman apprehensively came to Lan You Nians side, deliberately lowered her soft chest, letting Lan You Nian clearly see that patch of snow white, eyes painted with bewitching makeup looked at Lan You Nian in infatuation, Young master, let Liuer pick some dishes for young master!
Liuer? Lan You Nian smiled but it didnt reach her eyes as she looked at this woman, that demonic look made Liuers face red.
Come over! Lan You Nian said. That woman called Liuer happily walked over to Lan You Nian, looking in infatuation at Lan You Nians unparalleled face.
Young master! a disgustingly sweet voice, Liuer wanted to lean into Lan You Nians arms, wanted to touch Lan You Nians face to seduce Lan You Nian, but when she approached Lan You Nian, Lan You Nian suddenly pushed Liuer down onto the ground, as if Lan You Nian wanted to do something to Liuer.
Feng Yi Xuans face was frightening. He was about to attack when he noticed choked Liuers neck, making Liuers face pale, trembling as she choked out, Young master, did Liuer do something wrong?
Done something wrong? Lan You Nians ck eyes were a deep abyss, no one could figure out the look in her eyes, then threw away Liuer, took out her handkerchief to carefully wipe the hands that touched Liuer.
I heard you bullied Bai Lian? Lan You Nian asked. She didnt care for these women but when she heard this name, she suddenly remembered, a few days before Bai Lian left, she was pped by one of the brothel women. Although this has passed, but she still remembered.
Young master! Did young master misunderstand something? Liuer said uncertainly. She has always been beautiful but she couldntpare to the qingguan Bai Lian so when Bai Lian was about to leave, she deliberately humiliated Bai Lian. She didnt expect Bai Lian to ignore her so she gave her a p. Now this young master says this, was Bai Lian bought by this young master? If she served well, then cant she...
Young master, if Bai Lian can, then Liuer also can! Liuer said and was going to touch Lan You Nian. This time, this made Feng yi Xuanpletely angry. His internal force suppressed Liuer until her violent death. Even until death, she did not know why.
Feng Yi Xuan looked unhappily at Lan You Nian. He didnt expect Nian Nian had some kind of connection to a woman named Bai Lian. He felt aggrieved thinking about it.
I said Nianer meimeis charm was too great, I also am a woman dressed a man, why arent there women who seduce me? When Gui San sent away all the prostitutes in the room, Hua Mu Qing said in dissatisfaction.
Nianer meimei, you know Bai Lian? Yu Liu Li asked curiously.
Have seen her, it a good woman! Lan You Nian said directly. No one asked anymore. They knew how Lan You Nian looked at people so this Bai Lian was really a good woman.
Because it was Hua Mu Qings birthday, she was happy to y in Xiao Jin Pavilion, drank a bit more. It was Lan Mo Xian who sent her back while Lan You Nian was sent by Feng Yi Xuan.
Chapter 101 - Kiss
101 Kiss
May 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Perhaps Lan You Nian was truly happy, she became a little drunk. That slightly red cheek and water-like eyes seemed especially moving.
Feng Yi Xuan was afraid other will see such an enchanting Nian Nian, picked up Lan You Nian and used qinggong return to Ming wang manor. Dont ask him why not go back to Lan manor, because he felt if he sent Nian Nian back to Lan manor, then wont the servant girls see Nian Nians tempting look. Feng Yi Xuan wanted to kill just thinking about it.
Perhaps Lan You Nian was really starting to trust Feng Yi Xuan so when Feng Yi Xuan picked her up, Lan You Nian did not refuse. She leaned against this chest. She liked to hear this mans steady heartbeat.
Perhaps afraid the night wind was too cold, Feng Yi Xuan wrapped up Lan You Nians entire body into his chest and skillfully carried Lan You Nian into the room. In the shadows, the shadow guards went from shock at the beginning to the habit of now. Every shadow guard was sympathetic of their master. Such a beautiful celestial being yet Miss Lan was still so small. Who knows how long master will have to wait ah.
Drunken Lan You Nian was a little muddled. As she slept on Feng Yi Xuansrge bed, she breathed in Feng Yi Xuans unique scent. Lan You Nians mouth slightly curled up. Her mistyrge eyes looked at Feng Yi Xuan who wash her face and hands. She felt this man was really good looking, better than any man.
When Feng Yi Xuan finished wiping Lan You Nians face, he saw the girl staring at him with wide eyes, shedding her indifference. The young girl seemed to be especially quiet. An exquisite palm sized face was wless, long eyshes seemed like fragile butterfly wings, her nose was small and cute, lips were pink and tender, size and thickness was perfect, willow eyebrows stretched out, her pure beauty was like a painting of a celestial maiden.
Feng Yi Xuans finger caressed those pink lips, looked at the lovely lips that were like a beautiful rose in bloom. The fingertips that felt the softness and warmth made Feng Yi Xuans eyes deepen, unwilling to part from Lan You Nians lips as he stroked back and forth, that pair of eyes already started to recover their purple color.
Lan You Nians lips were tickled by the touch on her lips. She opened her small mouth and took a bite, then because it didnt taste good, spit it out. She didnt look up to see Feng Yi Xuans shocked look, and that gorgeous pair of purple eyes.
Feng Yi Xuan really liked the feeling on his fingers so didnt retract his hand, but he didnt expect Nian Nian who was drunk to open her small mouth and bite him. His finger didnt hurt at all but felt numb and itchy, like a current passed through into his heart.
Looking at that little mouth, Feng Yi Xuan longed to know what she tasted like. Thinking this, he did exactly that. He slowly leaned down, forehead against forehead, tip of his nose against tip of her nose, then kissed the lips he longed for.
When Feng Yi Xuans thin lips pressed against Lan You Nians pink lips, the two felt as if they have received a hit. Lan You Nian widened her watery eyes. Feng Yi Xuan focused on the girl under him. His nowpletely purple eyes were all filled with Lan You Nian.
The meeting of lips with lips made Feng Yi Xuan feel hot. He slowly started to trace Lan You Nians pink lips, slowly no longer satisfied, his tongue broke into Lan you Nians small mouth. Feng Yi Xuan, without any rules, without any technique, but spared no effort in his gentle treatment of Lan You Nian,zed around on her lips intimately.
Lan You Nian didnt know what was going on as sheid there stunned and dazed. Her tongue kept dodging, but how could Feng Yi Xuan let her go so easily? His tongue chased after Lan You Nians fragrant tongue, entangled, draining the sweetness of Lan You Nians mouth, greedy as a drug addict.
Until Lan You Nian felt it was difficult to breathe, she stretched out her small hand to beat at Feng Yi Xuans chest. This forced Feng Yi Xuan to wake up from the delicious taste, reluctantly parting from those pink lips that made him unable to control his passions. But when he saw the girl in his arms with reddened cheeks, sucking inrge gulps of air, those pink lips were red and swollen, that pair of eyes seemed to be oozing with tears, Feng Yi Xuan panicked, afraid his clumsiness made Nian Nian ufortable.
Lan You Nian has nowpletely woken up from Feng Yi Xuans deep kiss. She felt strange and didnt know what to say. Should she me Feng Yi Xuan, no, in fact when Feng Yi Xuan kissed her, she was already awake, but she didnt stop it, even indulged in this sloppy but fervent kiss. She could feel Feng Yi Xuans cautious gentleness and intensity entangling together. Even when he kissed her, she can hear sounds of flower blooming.
Feng YI Xuan saw Lan You Nan was stunned and didnt know how to exin. He indeed took advantage of Nian Nians drunkenness and stole a kiss from Nian Nian. Perhaps it doesnt count as stealing a kiss. He just wanted to kiss her so he did just that. If he were to choose again, he will still do the same, but he was afraid Nian Nian will dislike him and stay away from him in the future. Now seeing Nian Nian didnt say a thing, Feng Yi Xuan thought Nian Nian was angry, so was even more uneasy.
Nian Nian, Feng yi Xuan held tightly to Lan you Nian whose head was lowered and didnt say a word, Nian Nian, I love you, so...dont be angry!
Whod ever thought that the vicious, demonic, having no respect for anyone Ming wang will be so nervous, have no idea what to do, will be so cautious. Because that person was Lan You Nian, so he would be so afraid that he became so unlike himself
Lan you Nian did not me Feng Yi Xuan, she was just in conflict with herself, so contradictory she wanted to get angry. Ever since her rebirth, she was cold-hearted and indifferent walking in this world, because not caring so carefree, but since meeting Feng Yi Xuan, even though she didnt want to admit she was attracted to this man, she was greedy for this mans warmth and scent. She can sleep peacefully when this man was near without putting any guard on. That wasnt the her of the past.
Lan You Nian did not doubt Feng Yi Xuans true heart. His care for her was different. His concern for her, care and pampering, she can clearly feel it, but can she really trust another person? Can she open the door to her heart and ept someone inside?
Someone once said because there is nothing left so they dare to gamble, because there was nothing left to lose, but she Lan you Nian was different. Because she had nothing but a heart, if this heart was lost, then what was she left with? She perhaps was strong and invincible, but she was equally vulnerable, like the wounds of the pervious life. It has already been so long, even if she was in this time period, although she didnt hate, but it still left a deep scar in her heart. A scar was a scar no matter how much time has passed, as long as it was touched, it will hurt. That kind of pain as if heart was cut by a knife was still clearly left there.
Feng Yi Xuan noticed Nian Nian remained silent. For some reason, there was a painful air around her. Feng Yi Xuan panicked. His arms holding Lan You Nian were even tighter, he only knew he cant let go of Nian Nian, he cant allow her to leave him.
Feng Yi Xuans tight hug forced Lan You Nian to wake up from her own world. She noticed Feng Yi Xuans arms were strangling her. She struggled to let Feng YI Xuan let go of her, but didnt expect with her move Feng Yi Xuans hug was even tighter. He seemed to want to drag her into his body.
Nian Nian seemed to want to leave him. She was struggling. Thiis realization made Feng Yi Xuans entire person shake. There was only one thought in his mind, cant let go, cant let go, even if he died he cant let Nian Nian leave him.
Xuan? Feng Yi Xuans vtile aura was too obvious, the cups on the table nearest to them started to break apart, and she was hugged to the point she almost couldnt breath, Lan You Nian softly shouted, this Feng Yi Xuan made her heart ache.
Dont leave me, Nian Nian, Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan in Lan You Nians voice broke out of his thoughts, although slightly let go of Lan You Nian, but the twin arms holding her did not let go.
Youre hurting me! Lan You Nian did not reply to Feng Yi Xuans question, because she didnt know how to answer. She didnt know if the poison in her body can be cured. Even her life she cant guarantee, how can she reply to Feng Yi Xuan?
Lan You Nians words made Feng Yi Xuan nervous again, did not continue to dispute his question. He picked up Lan You Nian carefully and took a look. He noticed Nian Nians arms were strangled purple and blue, his heart was aching and guilty. He hurriedly found the best ointment to give to Lan You Nian
After putting on the ointment, Feng Yi Xuan pitifully looked at Lan You Nian, like arge-sized loyal dog, causing the little person inside Lan You Nian to be overjoyed.
Nian Nian, youre still angry at me? Feng Yi Xuan stood there looking straight at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian originally wanted to tease Feng Yi Xuan but seeing that kingly man now nervously watching her, she couldnt make a joke anymore.
Not angry! Lan you Nian said earnestly, deep ck eyes full of softness and warmth, delicate face bloomed with sunny bright and warm smile, that smile warmed the heart, warming Feng Yi Xuans heart as well.
Really? Feng Yi Xuan asked unsure, but on the inside he was bubbling, his Nian Nian was so good.
Really! Lan You Nian nodded.
Then you must take responsibility! Feng Yi Xuan continued, extremely tyrannical.
What? Lan You Nian screamed, it was clearly he who kissed her okay, now why was the one who must take responsibility her?
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan still wanted to say more but Lan You Nian pulled the nkets over her to sleep, otherwise she cant promise she wont get into a fight with this rogue.
With Feng Yi Xuan there, Lan You Nian fell asleep very soon. That curved corner of her lips seemed to prove that the girl had a good dream.
This night, Feng YI Xuan simply stood there standing guard over Lan You Nian, afraid this girl will run away, even more afraid it was a dream. Seeing the sleeping Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan felt he could no longer let go.
Chapter 102 - Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing
102 Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing
May 19, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Father, son is already grown. Son wants to fight alongside father, hope father can agree! Lan Yin stood in front of Lan Jian Jun, standing up straight and tall as he pleaded, but there was no firmness in his eyes.
Lan Yin looked at his father who didnt have any expression and felt anxious inside. He was already an adult but could only fool around with his disreputablepanions to spend his days. He had no ess to the authority in Lan manor. He didnt enter the army like Lan Mo Xian. If he didnt work hard now, there will no longer be any ce for him in Lan manor.
Since second brother likes the army so much, how about going to older brothers camp to be a small soldier? This can be considered granting second brothers wish! Lan You Nian entered therge hall, grinning at Lan Yin. Want to steal her brothers status of Lan manors legitimate son? Why dont take a look at what you are!?
En, Nianer is right, Yiner, go to Mo Xians camp tomorrow!Lan Jian Jun nodded.
Father! Lan Yin cried in panic then seemed to realize he was too emotional and then bowed his head, Father, son feels that you are a general of a country, if son is only an obscure soldier, isnt that losing your face?
Then what does second brother want to do? Be a general? When has second brother be so naive? Without any military merit, you want to step into heaven? Lan You Nian sneered, making Lan Yin extremely awkward.
Thats not what I meant, I only dont want to lose fathers face. Besides, even if I start with a slightly high position, I will definitely do well in the future! Lan Yin dislike this Lan You Nian more and more. It was originally something very easy but with her interference, father wont agree anymore.
Lan You Nian nced at Lan Yin. She felt very irritated inside and used Lan Yin as a punching bag. Because since Feng Yi Xuan kissed herst night, he was like sticky candy, no matter how much she shook, she couldnt shake him off. He would often appear in front of her and even wants her to take responsibility, causing Lan You Nians temper to be extremely bad. When she heard Lan Yin had some other ideas, she naturally came over,pletely venting her anger.
A slightly higher position? Yiner, what do you want to do? Lan Jian Juns eyes filled with disapproval. Though he always thought this child was quite useless, but he wasnt a good-for-nothing. But now Lan Yins words let Lan Jian Jun knew this child reaches for what is beyond his grasp, truly a good for nothing.
Since eldest brother is General Che Qi, how about let son also be a General Che Qi? This way it wont lose fathers face! Lan Yin thought he was being very reasonable but he didnt know that his words only made Lan Jian Jun angry and Lan You Nian only felt it was hrious.
General Che Qi? A burst ofughter traveled in from outside the hall, then Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing came in.
General Lan! Hua Mu Qing curtsied politely, put away her arrogance.
Father! Lan Mo Xian followed suit in acknowledgement.
Today Hua Mu Qing came to Lan manor to y, everyone was aware so there was no surprise. Lan Jian Juns impression of Hua Mu Qing was very good, this women wasnt pretentious, was a forthright as the men on the battlefield, Lan Jian Jun was looking forward to the rtionship between his son and Hua Mu Qing. Looking at the twos atmosphere, it seems that in the near future there will be a happy event.
Junzhu came, sit down! Lan Jian Jun was very kind to Hua Mu Qing,pared to Lan Yin, it was much better.
Nianer meimei, didnt Lan manors second master say he wanted to be General Che Qi? Indeed Hua Mu Qing couldnt pretend to be a schrlydy for a moment longer before she exposed her original form, energetically came to Lan You Nian in question, causing Lan Mo Xian to look fearfully at father, afraid fathers impression of Hua Mu Qing wasnt good.
En, Mu Qing jiejies hearing is good, second brother says he wants to be General Che Qi, Lan You Nian scoffed. She knew with Hua Mu Qing this priceless treasure, Lan Mo Xian wont suffer any losses, sure enough...
Not this junzhu saying you ah, second master Lan, one must see the truth of the matter, Lan Mo Xian started from a small soldier killing many enemies before he became General Che Qi. And this title was granted by the Emperor. Do you think its like selling cabbage? Hua Mu Qing mercilessly attacked Lan Yin.
Many times Lan Mo Xian shot Hua Mu Qing a look, but Hua Mu Qing who was currently defending him didnt see, until Hua Mu Qing scolded Lan Yin until his face was red, dis she react. There was still an elder present ah! Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan Jian Jun in embarrassment, but noticed Lan Jian Jun did not look unhappy because of her vulgarity so she released her breath.
Sincest time Nianer meimei fell down the cliff, she and Lan Mo Xian have gotten closer. In the past, they were always bickering while caring for each other but slowly this friendship unknowingly became this clumsy love. Although at first she was surprised and in a panic but after thinking it over, she bravely epted it. Lan Mo Xian was great, she knew very well, so that night of her birthday when Lan Mo Xian pursued her, Hua Mu Qing agreed to it.
Father son only wants to share some of fathers responsibilities! Lan Yin refused to give up but inside he hated Hua Mu Qing like he hated Lan You Nian. As long as the person stands on the same side as Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian, they were all hateful.
Then go to Mo Xians camp to exercise yourself, thatd be sharing responsibility for father! Lan Jian Jun decided the matter then waved his hand at Lan Yin, Itste, go spend time with your yiniang!
Although Lan Yin was dissatisfied inside, but towards the head of the house Lan Jian Jun he did not dare to disobey, but hatred rose inside for Lan Jian Juns favor. They were all his children yet father could never see them, even Lan Mo Xian this son without blood rtionship he can lend his support to, but towards him there wasnt any concern, such a father...
When Lan Yin left, Lan You Nian felt the air was much better. Instantly in therge hall there was only four of them left.
Junzhu stay to eat! Lan Jian Jun said, his face was still stiff. Besides Lan You Nian, towards everyone he was straight-faced but it was clear it was much better when talking to Hua Mu Qing.
Thanks General! Hua Mu Qing smiled. She always felt Lan manor was very nice, but that is if there wasnt An yiniang and the others.
What thanks? Mu Qing jiejie, maybe in the near future we will be one big family? Lan You Nian has been bothered by Feng Yi Xuan to the point that she is behaving abnormally so now that Lan Yin has left, the punching bag was gone, then she started to tease Hua Mu Qing.
What nonsense are you talking about? Nianer meimei is making no sense! Hua Mu Qing nced at Lan Jian Jun then covered Lan You Nians mouth but Lan You Nian was wearing a veil, plus with her abilities, she couldnt even touch Lan You Nian.
As a matter of fact Lan Mo Xian wanted to tell Father little sister wasnt disfigured but this matter was severely criticized by Hua Mu Qing. Hua Mu Qing felt Lan Jian Jun treated Lan You Nian too ill, a little punishment was good, so now Lan Jian Jun doesnt know Lan You Nians face was still in perfect condition.
Is it nonsense? What do you say brother? Lan You Nian blinked her big eyes at Lan Mo Xian. In fact she deliberately rified the rtionship between the two in front of Lan Jian Jun. After all, in this time period, mutual feelings was important, the blessings of the parents were also important. If the two really had feelings then even if they dont marry, they had to at least settle an engagement, otherwise if the Emperor for some reason gifts down a marriage, there will be one more bitter pair of mandarin ducks.
Lan Mo Xian knew his little sisters intentions and couldnt help being moved inside. This little sister since she was little has suffered. Now he wanted to protect her, who knew many times now it was this little sister who thought for him, making him feel warm inside.
Nianer meimei is right! Lan Mo Xian didnt deny it, pulled up Hua Mu Qings hands and the two knelt in front of Lan Jian Jun, Father, son likes junzhu very much, ask father to give your blessings!
Hua Mu Qing was very nervous. Although she knew the twos rtionship was bound to be known by General Lan but now that it really happened, she was afraid, afraid General Lan wont agree but seeing Lan Mo Xian who was staunchly holding her hand, Hua Mu Qing didnt feel so afraid anymore.
My son has grown up, Mu Qing junzhu is a girl girl, why wont father agree? Lan Jian Jun helped the two up, Since you two mutually in love then settle this engagement soon, this matter father will ask the Emperor!
Thanks father! Thanks General!
The two sat at the table seating in perfect harmony. Although at the table one can see Lan Jian Jun picking some dishes for Lan You Nian but Lan You Nian was still indifferent but Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing was still very excited, the two looked at each other from time to time then smiled in happiness.
After the meal, Lan Jian Jun had things to take care of so he left. Lan You Nian led Hua Mu Qing and Lan Mo Xian to her You Nian Pavilion to sit, then you could hear...
Wow! Nianer meimei your courtyard is so pretty! The three sat in the stone pavilion for a drink of tea. Hua Mu Qing from time to time took a look at this, took a look at that.
Wow, this is the rare ruby! You use it to decorate your walls? Hua Mu Qing exaggerated. She always thought Nianer meimei was very poor, but now felt she was the one who was poor.
Lan You Nians mouth twitched. These things werent hers. They were put up by Feng Yi Xuans people. She liked looking at it so didnt take it down. Now that Hua Mu Qing mentioned it, wasnt she tantly showing off her wealth?
Have you guys thought it over? Lan You Nian said unclearly.
What? The two asked in unison.
Have you thought over if you want to be together? Do you want to marry? Do you want to be with this person in the future? Lan You Nian asked seriously.
En, decided! The two without any hesitation answered, although the two werent very intelligent people but the two were straightforward.
Older brother, Lan You Nian looked at Lan Mo Xian, If you want to marry Mu Qing jiejie, then you can only marry her, otherwise, dont hurt Mu Qing jiejie!
Although Lan You Nian was looking forward to the brother and Hua Mu Qings rtionship, very hopeful that the two cane together, but in this world, a man can have many women while women can only remain faithful to their husbands. Hua Mu Qing was her first friend, so inevitably she wished she can be happy and not wait for a mans favor in a small courtyard. It will only cause this cheerful woman to be buried in pain, so if this was exined clearly, wasnt that best?
Hua Mu Qing heard Lan You Nians words, felt very moved. She didnt expect this girl who was much younger than her will think for her, even if the one she was attacking was her brother, this friendship made Hua Mu Qing want to cry.
I wont, I will only want Mu Qing! Lan Mo Xian wasnt a fickle person. He always believed two people in love did not allow for a third person.
Lan Mo Xian saw Hua Mu Qing crying and thought she was moved by his words, didnt expect Hua Mu Qing gave Lan You Nian a big hug, sniffling as she said, Nianer meimei, you are so good! Nianer meimei is the best!
What about me? The forgotten Lan Mo Xian asked unwillingly.
What you! If you dare to marry someone else, see if this junzhu doesnt break your legs! Hua Mu Qing barred her teeth, then hugged Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei will help me right?
Of course! Lan You Nian smiled in agreement,pletely ignoring Lan Mo Xians helpless expression.
Chapter 103 - Gui Yi Comes to the Capital
103 Gui Yi Comes to the Capital
May 20, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Today she heard big brother wasing to the capital. Lan You Nian got up early and flew out of Lan manor ready to see big brother, but Lan You Nian had yet to leave Lan manor before she stood there frozen....
Today Feng Yi Xuan wore a ck embroidered robe, the heavy ck made Feng Yi Xuan seem domineering. You could only seeing his tall body, his skin white, his facial features were distinct and profound, like a Greek sculpture, dark and deep chilly eyes, wild and unconstrained, wicked and sexy.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan called out softly to Lan You Nian who flew out of Lan manor.
Here again, here again, how many time is this? Lan You Nian even suspected that this man has been waiting outside the manor for her. Otherwise why else would every time she wanted to leave, she would bump into this man. Every single time this man would always call her name so intimately, making her belly full of anger unable to vent.
Ming wang daren, you have nothing to do? Lan You Nians forehead bulged with a vein.
Xuan... Feng Yi Xuan said stubbornly. He liked Nian Nian calling his name so intimately, making him feel itchy and warm inside.
Alright, Xuan, do you have nothing to do? No matter what youre a countrys wangye, and you control military power okay? Lan You Nian dragged out a fake smile.
Nothing, not busy Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian and continued, Nian Nian important!
And currently at wang manor dealing with the mountain of affairs was An Yi and the others. In their hearts, they couldnt help but start toin. The manors affairs was simply too much, but their master still went to chase their matriarch, oppress them to the point they were almost going crazy. If they knew Feng Yi Xuan said he wasnt busy, they will surely vomit blood.
Uh... Lan You Nian felt she couldntmunicate with this Feng Yi Xuan at all. She had some strange feelings towards Feng Yi Xuan so now if she can avoid then she will avoid. She was afraid if she wasnt careful she will get sucked into Feng Yi Xuans warmth.
Lan You Nian didnt pay attention to Feng Yi Xuan and prepared to leave but she noticed Feng Yi Xuan kept walking beside her, finally...
What do you want? Lan You Nians little face frowned shouting at Feng Yi Xuan, but that expression was bursting with cuteness, making Feng Yi Xuans lips smile even more gently.
Nian Nian, be my wangfei! Feng Yi Xuan said seriously, then nodded to himself, I Feng Yi xuans only wangfei, the treasure of my whole life! His voice was clear and mellow, as if transparent jade rapping against the finest blue and white porcin, making Lan You Nianpletely numb.
I reject! Lan You Nian snapped in annoyance. She almost lost herself in Feng Yi Xuans words, fortunately she woke up quickly. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to be using beauty trap.
Although hearing Lan You Nians rejection, Feng Yi Xuan was a little upset but didnt even consider giving up chasing Lan You Nian. He only wanted to hug Nan Nian but when he saw that uncovered face and those pink lips, Feng Yi Xuan suddenly thought of the kiss that night. Instantly his mouth dried, pulled over Lan You Nian and kissed her. He didnt deepen only licked Lan You Nians lips, then Feng Yi Xuan seemed to be like a child who received candy as he happily pledged, You are mine, can only be mine!
Then what about you? Lan You Nians grape-ck eyes shed, curled eyshes flickered, exquisite face bloomed with a splendid smile, her posture graceful as she raised her head to look at Feng Yi Xuan.
I am yours, person is yours, heart is yours! Feng Yi Xuans sculpted deep and perfect face lifted with a smile, deep amber eyes were filled with softness.
Lan You Nians eyes shed, retracted her gaze and removed Feng Yi Xuans arms from around her, I still have stuff to take care of.. Then left. Behind her Feng Yi Xuan didnt follow. He understood Nian Nians meaning. Everyone needed their own personal space. His Nian Nian was the same, so he will not interfere with what she wanted to do nor will he stop her. He only wanted Nian Nians heart to bepletely be filled with him, this way he wont be so worried about his wins and losses.
Lan You Nian came to Wu Qing Medical Hall. She did not enter from the main entrance, instead she flew in from the third floor window. Before she entered she heard big brother and third brothers voice.
Gui Yi, why are you in the capital? You donte often to the Medical Hall? Gui San squinted his eyes asking, felt displeasure in his heart. Some time ago he received shifus news saying Gui Wu came, and now Gui Yi came too, this was tantly fighting him for little junior sister.
Little junior sister is in the capital, I as her big brother of course muste! Gui Yi continued to y with the herbs in his hands, tone was very light.
Its enough with me this third brother, no need for you toe! Gui San swayed his fan disdainfully.
Such a dispute wasmonce for Lan You Nian. Every time the senior brothers and shifu would always fight, the center of their dispute was herself because they all believed she was still young, still a child. So from when she was young, from very start, they fought over who took care of her then it became who would go with her to wander the pugilistic world. In the medical hall, sometimes if it got serious, they even got into fights over it. Then they will be punished by shifu, then shifu will triumphantly look at her saying, Xiao Nian Nian, shifu is smart right?
After five years, from being defensive in the beginning to theter eptance and the caring of now, Lan You Nian truly considered them family. Shifu was like a childish grandfather and the senior brother they really were like her own brothers. Lan You Nian sometimes think, is it because in the previous life her family were too cruel so the Heavens allowed her to have such a family in this life. She in the future will protect them like they protected her. She Lan You Nian did not allow anyone to hurt the people she cared for.
Who? Gui Sans folding fan in his hand snapped towards the window Lan You Nian was at. At this moment Gui Sans face did not have his usual smile, his eyebrows were shadowed by ruthlessness. This was Gui Sans real self.
Lan You Nian avoided the attack of Gui Sans folding fan. Other people thought Gui San was too shy so whether spring summer fall or winter he always carried a folding fan. She knew this was not only a folding Fan, it was Gui Sans weapon, a weapon that never left his body, a weapon that can take lives.
Third brother wants to bully Nianer, big brother you have to protect Nianer ! Lan You Nian jumped into the room, grinning at Gui Yi and Gui San.
The two were scared by Lan You Nian, Gui San instantly retrieved his folding fan said seriously, Little junior sister why dont you say anything, what if I hurt you?
Even Gui Yi who usually pampered Lan You Nian was panicked, Little junior sister is bing more naughty. Always never serious! You cant be like this next time understand?
Lan You Nian smiled warmly, that was the smile that was shown to other people, no, when in front of Feng YI Xuan she will have such a smile, a smile without any alienation. It made peoples heart warm as if exposed to the sun.
Is Nianer so weak? So easy to hurt? Lan You Nian self-deprecatorily smiled, in fact her martial arts was much better than them, but it was not as good as fourth brother. Everyone had their own strengths, Lan You Nian worked hard to let her learn more and more urately, but didnt force herself to be first.
Hmph! Speaking of this Im angry. Which time you came back from outside you werent hurt?! Gui San said and wanted to take his folding fan to knock Lan You Nians little head, but seeing Lan You Nians small frail, pitiful look, he couldnt bear toy his hands down, his heart ached.
Since the start of creating Wu Qing Pavilion, there was always some friction with some other sects. Many people wanted to obliterate her, so at the start of Wu Qing Pavilions creation, Lan You Nian was always hurt. Then she would return to Medical Valley ordered to nurse back her health.
That is before, now it wont happen! Lan You Nian said. It was true, a year before she didnt get hurt anymore since she also retired from the surface of Wu Qing Pavilion. Now many things were taken care of by the several senior brothers, Lan Feng, and Lan Ren. She was just the owner who did none of the work.
Big brother why are you in the capital? Lan You Nian asked curiously. Dont just look at Gui Yis surface as if he couldnt be bothered by this noisy world. In fact he was a busy person. Medical Velley needed him to take care of, her Wu Qing Pavilion needed him to manage, and because her bodys poison regrly needed many medicines to suppress to make up for the loss of the body. Those precious herbs they didnt have on hand so needed him to personally pick. He was always busy collecting those herbs everywhere. Although they dont see often but Lan You Nians heart warmed thinking of this brother.
Shifu is worried, everyone is worried about you! Gui Yi was still the same, his words were still gentle and ethereal, And Gui Wu also came, dont know if hell give you trouble!
You dont need to worry about Gui Wu, he is in a good ce Lan You Nian thought of what Feng YI Xuan said to her about Gui Wus misery, more or less felt it was funny. No wonder fifth brother didnt look for her, after all, being tanned so ck would hurt fith brothers self esteem.
Oh? Where can he stay? Gui Yi asked curiously, after all Gui Wu s personality was exuberant. Beside Lan You Nian, he simply couldnt stay in one ce.
En, hes in Ming army epting training, Lan You Nian walked over to Gui Yi to help Gui Yi arrange the herbs.
What? Ming army? Gui Sa cried in surprise, Ming armys existence was not known by a lot of people. But if people with a little power know that Ming army was Ming wang Feng Yi Xuans exclusive army. The numbers werentrge, only a thousand but every one of them can defend against ten. Within them were endless talents. But if you wanted to enter Ming army was difficult. Even if you wanted to find Ming armys training base, it would be impossible..
En, hasnt fifth brother always had this wish? This is a kind of exercise! Lan You Nian smiled in reply.
Little junior sister, you know Ming wang? Gui Yi put down the herbs in his hands, his expression calm.
En, know! Lan You Nian answered directly but Gui Yi and Gui San who understood saw a glimmer of light in Lan You Nians usual indifferent eyes. Gui Yi felt depressed inside, and Gui San was full of worry.
What is your rtionship? Gui San asked directly. Between brother and sister, they did not need make roundabout questions to try to cover up or feel each other out.
What does third brother think? Just a step closer than friends, thats all. I know you worry about Nianer, Nianer understands! Lan You Nians gaze was clear as she looked at Gui San, her gaze firm.
How could Gui Yi and Gui San not know what their little junior sister was like. She saw things much more clearly than them and much farther. If little junior sister really had someone she liked, that was her choice. They couldnt interfere nor can they interfere.
When Lan You Nian left, Gui San looked at the absent minded Gui Yi, Gui Yi...
No need to say it. I understand. Whoever little junior sister is together with in the future, I will bless them. I only want her to be happy! Even if that person isnt me! Gui Yis ethereal temperament mixed with mncholy.
Chapter 104 - You Nian Pavilion’s Guards
104 You Nian Pavilions Guards
May 23, 2019
secretdreamwishes
When Lan You Nian returned to You Nian Pavilion, she could smell the faint scent of blood permeating the air. The number of guards who usually stood guard were halved. Lan You Nian did not ask. Instead, she went inside the pavilion and noticed Lan Ren, Lan Feng, and Lan Qu were all back.
Young miss It was only a month without seeing each other, but clearly the three were happy to see Lan You Nian.
Youre back? Lan You Nian permitted them to sit and smiled at Lan Qu and Len Feng. There was something dodgy going on.
Much of Wu Qing Pavilions affairs are dealt with, so from now on well stay in the capital. Second master and fourth master also set a letter asking about young misss situation. Im afraid it wont be long before they wille to the capital too! Lan Ren epted the tea Lan Qu brewed and took a sip.
En, the capital will certainly be lively. I do miss them! LAn You Nian nced out the window. She missed the days when she was in the Medical Valley. There wasnt any schemes and human ugliness. There was only shifus endless nagging and the senior brothers caring and teasing.
Young miss, Zhang Lin and the others are injured! Lan Wu reported indignantly.
Oh? Were there any deaths? Lan You Nians expression did not change, even her tone was still soft.
A handful of guards were injured but none died. The intruders were taken care of by Lan Ren. If we didnte back in time, today would have been capricious! Lan Qu thoroughly analyzed. When they returned to You Nian Pavilion, they noticed the many assassins milling around. Zhang Lin stood there fighting to protect Lan Qu and the other guards. Although all fifteen guards were barely hanging in there, none of them shrank back in cowardice. Lan Qu felt that these guards were worthy of being allowed to stay by her familys young miss.
Lan Qu, Lan Wu, take the wound medicine from my room to give to Zhang Lin and the others. Help bandage them up! Lan Wu instructed. Although the fours medical skills werent worthy of mention but they were no stranger to some skin injuries. Zhang Lin and the others were her guards as well as her subordinates.
Any left alive? Lan You Nian cupped the still warm tea in her hands, the misty steam shrouded the emotions in her eyes. No, when the intruders knew things fell through, theymitted suicide! Lan Feng responded. Speaking of this matter, she was angry. They only just left for a while yet someone dared to barge into You Nian Pavilion. They sure had a lot of guts!
Oh? Any clues? Lan You Nian didnt seem to care as she asked offhandedly.
Havent found any yet... Lan Ren responded with some annoyance. They found no clues into the identity of the people. It was their oversight. The intruders were cautious. Not only they erased any trace of the assassination, but every one of them seemed to be clean, without any evidence left on their bodies.
Continue to investigate. In three days I want results! Lan You Nian said gently but Lan Ren and Lan Feng knew this was an order. If young miss says three days then even if you die, you must get the results within three days. This was the loyalty and obedience that young miss taught from the very first day.
Yes! The two stood up and departed. One went to arrange You Nian Pavilions defenses, the other to investigate the assassins.
Veiled, Lan You Nian walked down the stairs of the pavilion and came to the small courtyard next to You Nian Pavilion. This residence was specially arranged by Lan Jian Jun for You Nian Pavilions guards to live at. Even Lan Jian Juns personal guards did not have such special treatment. It can be seen how much Lan Jian Jun loved Lan You Nian, this legitimate daughter.
Lan You Nian walked past the short bamboo fence enclosing the small courtyard. The deciduous trees and evergreen trees leisurely formed a scenic painting in the level yellowish guard, with trimmed of weeds and wildflowers. Red bricks, green window sills, white railings, pale yellow tiles...
Walking into the room, Lan You Nian saw four to five guards sitting inside, already bandaged while Lan Wu still continued to bandage Zhang Lin. Zhang Lins wounds were most serious, but fortunately it wasnt life threatening. No one noticed Lan You Nian. After a while, it was Lan Qu who noticed Lan You Nian, instantly stood up and eximed, Young miss!
Lan Qus voice made the rough hot-blooded men stand up in a daze, even the injured Zhang Lin climbed up from the bed and acknowledged respectfully, Young miss!
At the beginning, they pitied this little girl because they heard she has wandered outside the manor for many years due to being unfavored. They knew they needed to protect this young miss. However, they were not simply obeying orders but they were also curious. From the first time this girl gave her first order to have them kill their respected general, this girls indifference when giving the order made them admire her. As they stayed behind as You Nian Pavilions guards, they noticed this young miss was truly different. She was neither arrogant nor domineering, as if their own daughter. Over time, they admired her more and more. They admired this girls superb mind and means. Her skill in martial abilities was even higher than them. They started to follow her from the bottom of their hearts.
En, how is it? Lan You Nian sat down in front of the crude table in the crude room. The guards around her felt a little embarrassed. After all Lan You Nian was used to eating and using the finest yet she was perfectlyposed as she sat in such a crude room.
Heihei, its nothing. Were thick-skinned! A dark-skinned guardughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Lan You Nian smiled. After some time of testing, these fifteen performed wonderfully. Their backgrounds have been investigated. These people were all orphans who were plunged into the army and followed Lan Jian Jun. She preferred these kinds of background, clean and without any worries. These peoples personalities werent bad either. They were worthy of her epting them into her own forces.
Lan Qu, call them all out! Lan You Nian instructed to Lan Qu. Today, all fifteen people received injuries. However, they divided up their duties very well. The only slightly injured guards continued to stand guard at their posts in You Nian Pavilion, without any signs of neglect.
When the remaining guards returned to their small courtyard, they noticed Lan You Nian sitting there. Looking at them Lan You Nian asked, Was today dangerous?
Very dangerous! Zhang Lin answered as usual.
Afraid? Lan You Nians eyes smiled, but that smile didnt reach the bottom of her eyes.
Not afraid! A unanimous but equally firm answer, all fifteen guards stood up straight. It was a habit and tenacity that was honed from the battlefield.
Very good, do know what your duties are? Lan You Nian nodded as she continued to question them.
Protect young miss. Obey young misss orders! A firm reply, without any time for consideration needed.
Then do you know how weak you are? Lan You Nian stood up, her back as straight as them, her bearing forced these people into submission.
The fifteen guards didnt utter a sound. In their eyes, Lan You Nian found unwillingness to submit and unwillingness to admit defeat. Very good, Lan You Nian smiled inside.
En The clearly still soft voice carried some hints of danger. Lan You Nian really didnt like no one answering her question.
Very weak. Please ask young miss to punish! Zhang Lin fell down on his knees. The other fourteen people followed suit. Although they were red-blooded men but they didnt have any pride. They were indeed weak. Even with them all working together, they couldnt handle the assassins. But young misss subordinates cleaned up the assassins within minutes. They saw it was their own eyes and understood in their hearts.
You know why you arent powerful? Lan You Nians tone emitted a chill. This was a young miss they have never seen before. The eyebrows above the veil seemed to be dyed with deadliness, Because they have climbed out from countless life and death encounters. Because they experienced hardships ordinary people are unable to suffer!
Now, I give you a chance. Be stronger with me, but you will likely lose your life. Before you are strong, you would already have gone to see King Yama! Lan You Nian continued to say, Leave You Nian Pavilion now. I will allow you to continue to follow General Lan!
Lan You Nian didnt need them to answer her immediately. She simply sat there for a while, then she heard the fifteen people with unshakeable expression and words, I am willing to follow young miss!
Even if you lose your life?
Even if we lose our life!
Good! Lan You Nian unveiled her face. Since they were her Lan You Nians subordinate, then they deserved her Lan You Nians trust. Lan You Nian exposed her face and smiled at them.
~Gasp~ Everyone was shocked. They didnt expect their young miss to be so beautiful. There were even a few younger guards who were blushing. But none of them had any unrealistic thoughts they shouldnt have. They were entirely just appreciating beauty.
Nurse your injuries these next few days, then follow me to a ce that can make you stronger! Finished with what she came to say, Lan You Nian left the small courtyard. She didnt see the fifteen guards eyes brimming with loyalty and appreciation in their pursuit.
Lan Qu, after Lan Feng finishes investigating the assassins, tell her that she and I are going to Wu Qing Pavilion! Lan You Nian instructed.
Young miss wants to let these people join Wu Qing Pavilion? Lan Qu asked in confusion. It was too risky. Although Wu Qing Pavilion knew Young Master Wu Qing but they didnt know Young Master Wu Qing was their young miss.
No, theyre just my Lan You Nians guards! Lan You Nian smiled, Im only taking them to second brothers ce to train. After all they are too weak now; they cant do anything!
Lan Qu trembled. Second masters training technique was extremely cruel. These techniques were all thought out by young miss. Young miss demonstrated this training arena and came out severely injured. Following her was the several young masters. Then it was Lan Ren, Lan Feng, and then many of Wu Qing Pavilions subordinates who climbed out of that ce. At that time, she and Lan Wu didnt have any martial arts, so they didnt enter but they knew the dangers of that ce.
If they arent able to bear it and lose their life? Lan Wu walked in and asked curiously but there was no sympathy in her eyes. If young miss let her receive training, she wont even bat an eysh.
So today they were given a choice! Lan Wu said. Young miss wasnt a cold-blooded person but neither was she a sentimental one. Young miss gave them a warning, gave them a choice, but once they made a choice, they cant turn back or shrink away. Even if they died young miss wont even frown.

105 Helping Nian Nian Vent
That night, Lan Jian Jun came to You Nian Pavilion for dinner. Lan Mo Xian came together with his father. He was afraid father and little sister wont speak at all if they were left together. At least, with him there, the atmosphere will be somewhat active.
Lan Jian Jun, this great general of the battlefield, was probably only ever this awkward in front of Lan You Nian. It was undeniably the most affectionate rtionship in the world but one person was feeling guilty while the other was entirely indifferent. Lan Jian Jun considered Lan You Nian for some time before asking, Did you receive a fright?
No, Lan You Nian continued to eat the food in her bowl, answering without raising her head.
I heard you are going to your grandfathers ce tomorrow? Lan Jian Jun felt stifled inside. They were all family yet when he saw this daughters closeness with this grandfather, he felt envious. There wasnt any of the alienation towards him but a little girl acting spoiled. He didnt ask for anything else. He only wished to enjoy the joys of a united family while he was still alive.
En, grandfather misses Nianer. I will be going tomorrow to see him! Lan You Nian didnt care that Lan Jian Jun will know. Besides, He manors invitation was brought over by Uncle Lan; Uncle Lan was Lan Jian Juns right-hand man.
Father will go with you tomorrow! Lan Jian Jun said. He hasnt entered He manor since his wife passed away many years ago. It wasnt because he didnt want to see his father-inw but rather this father-inw never allowed him to enter He manor. He now wanted to see this elder.
so many years since wife passed away, didnt enter He manor, not he didnt want to see father inw rather father inw never allowed him to enter He manor, now he wanted to see this elder.
General Lan do as you wish! Lan You Nian didnt care about matters of the past. She was indifferent to grandfathers dislike of Lan Jian Jun. Although she epted the predecessors memories as well as her feelings, but that didnt mean she was the predecessor.
Tonight, go with me to see your mother? She must miss you! Lan Jian Jun put down the chopsticks in his hands, seemingly have aged a lot.
Lan You Nian wanted to refuse but she longed for this motherly love. The dead He Xiao Ran fulfilled Lan You Nians longing towards this word-mother. Her former mother made Lan You Nian feel disgusted but He Xiao Ran was different, despite the fact that Lan You Nian had never seen her.
He Xiao Rans grave was on the hill behind Lan manor. Even though it was night, you could clearly see the quiet and beautiful scenery. Lan You Nian could feel the refreshing breeze and smell the bursts of flowery fragrance in the air.
He Xiao Rans grave were full of blooming china roses. Lan You Nian knew that this was He Xiao Rans favorite flower when she was alive. She knew this was nted by Lan Jian Jun himself.
Xiao Ran, I came to see you! Lan Jian Jun sat down next to the tomb. His head rested on the tombstone as if leaning against his beloved woman, his manner extremely warm. That rough hand kept stroking the tombstone. His eyes seemed to see through the tombstone to the woman he loved deeply.
Xiao Ran, do you know? I brought Nianer to see you. Do you miss our daughter? Lan Jian Jun stood up, came to Lan You Nians side, grasped Lan You Nians hand and pulled her towards the tombstone. Lan You Nian was about to break free when she spotted Lan Jian Juns red eyes; she suddenly quieted.
Xiao Ran, do you see? Our daughter is grown. If you were still here, you will love her very much Lan Jian Jun said as he held tightly to Lan You Nians hands, Sorry, Xiao Ran, Im not a good father. Do you me me? But Xiao Ran, I will protect our daughter from now on. Do you feel lonely down there by yourself?....
In the darkness of the night, Lan You Nian apanied Lan Jian Jun, standing in front of the tombstone, listening to this man ramble, listening to his love, listening to his remorse, listening to him talk about her own situation, listening to him talk about when his fatherly love showed itself. Lan You Nian didntfort this man but she has started to ept this father of hers.
When Lan You Nian returned to her pavilion ready to rest, she noticed Lan Wu and Lan Qu standing outside, their expression werent very good. Even Lan Ren had yet to return to rest, instead his eyes were sharp, ring at the boudoir of the pavilion
Whats wrong? Lan You Nian asked, not understanding why they werent resting and were standing here.
Young miss, Ming wang is inside! Lan Qu frowned.
En.. Lan You Nian nodded, ready to go in, but she was stopped by Lan Qu, Young miss, you and Ming wang are a lone male and lone female in the same room at night. That isnt appropriate!
After that, the three of them followed Lan You Nian into the pavilion. Sitting in the pavilions outer chamber, Lan You Nian could feel Feng Yi Xuan was inside the inner chamber, her boudoir.
sitting in the pavilions outer room, Lan You Nian can feel Feng Yi Xuan inside her inner room, her boudoir.
Whats wrong with it? Feng Yi Xuan walked out and sat beside Lan You Nian.
Ming wang, you are a man. Perhaps you dont mind but young miss is an unmarried youngdy. Please ask Ming wang to consider young misss reputation! Under Ming wangs cold gaze, Lan Qu sweated cold sweat but still finished what she had to say. She could make out Ming wangs intention towards young miss, but what about young miss?
Nian Nian will be this wangs wangfei! Feng Yi Xuan gave a rare exnation. If it wasnt because he could tell Nian Nian valued these servant girls very much, he would have killed these women who dared to oppose him.
Perhaps Feng Yi Xuans pressure was simply too strong for Lan Qu and the others looked to Lan You Nian. Their eyes were full of disapproval and worry. They feared their soft young miss will be kidnapped by this big bad wolf!
Seeing the threes worried gaze, Lan You Nian had an idea of teasing them as she innocently added, Hes been sleeping here thesest few nights, you dont know?
What? The three people eximed. Even the calmest Lan Ren couldnt stand it. He drew out his long sword and aimed to kill Feng Yi Xuan, but was blocked by An Yi who emerged from outside. The two sprinted into the courtyard and started to fight with each other.
Young miss? Lan Qu looked at Lan You Nian in panic, afraid something has happened between the two.
Alright, have Lan Ren stop and go rest! Finished, Lan You Nian entered the inner chamber without giving any further exnation. There was nothing to exin.
However, seeing Lan You Nian like this, Lan Qu and the others were reassured. They were aware what kind of person young miss was. They were simply too surprised before so didnt know how to react. They trusted young miss. They were familiar with young misss personality. Besides, Ming wang seemed like he liked young miss very much. Although the three of them disapproved of there being any connection between young miss and Ming wang, they were grateful towards the person who would be able to open young misss heart and make young miss happy. But the condition must be: that person cant let down young miss, otherwise no matter what price they must pay, they will smash this persons corpse into smithereens!
Lan You Nian returned to her room and started to fall asleep. She didnt mind Feng Yi Xuans presence. She trusted Feng Yi Xuan. This was incredible.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan hauled Lan You Nian, who was wrapped in the nkets, into his arms, then patted Lan You Nians back as if coaxing a child.
En? Lan You Nian was bewildered. She didnt understand why Feng Yi Xuans eyes were filled with tenderness.
You are in a bad mood? Feng Yi Xuan thought about it for a while before he finally uttered.
Why do you ask? Lan You Nian felt her mood today was pretty good. Nothing happened that made her distressed.
I saw you and General Lan standing in the back hill Feng Yi Xuan didnt conceal anything from Lan You Nian. Even if admitting to it will make Nian Nian unhappy about his following her, he still said, I know that is your mothers grave!
Feng YI Xuan knew Lan You Nians pain came from this dead mother. Because of her mothers passing, she lost a fathers love. Feng Yi Xuans heart ached.
She is a good mother! Lan You Nian closed her eyes. She felt pride and warmth for having this kind of mother, If you are General Lan, what will you do?
If Feng Yi Xuan was aware of his childs birth and the passing of the woman he loved, what will he do? She was more and more curious about this Feng Yi Xuan, she desired more and more to be closer.
Seeing Nian Nian didnt seem unhappy, feeling reassured, he carefully considered Nian Nians words, The child is innocent. But it was me, no matter what the situation is, I will always apany you. Even in death!
Lan You Nian didnt open her eyes but she heard Feng Yi Xuans seriousness. Her lips curled as she entered dreand...
Night, third wangye manor, was now currently undergoing a one-sided ughter. Blood danced as corpses fell down one by one. Third wangyes guards died without knowing why. Within the manor third wangye Feng Lin Che was hidden behindyers of guards.
A group of ghost-masked ck-clothed men held long swords in hand, each one with one sword, their slow speed was deliberately given to Feng Lin Che to see. Feng Lin Che didnt expect his manors elite guards cant even resist these men in ck.
The lead man in ck saw that theyve killed more than enough of the guards and blew a whistle. All the men in ck quickly retreated as if they never came. They only left behind a groundpletely covered in corpses to tell of the cruel killing.
Feng Lin Che looked at his guards who suffered serious losses and hatefully punched the wall. This was tantly provoking him! Who was it!? Who can have such formidable abilities to easily enter his manor? So easily ughter his own guards? Who was behind the scenes?
The men in ck who withdrew silently entered Ming wang manor. The leading man tugged down the ck face cloth. It was was An Yi.
Awesome! An San said excitedly. The other men in ck all took off their face cloths. This was clearly Ming wang manors shadow guards and guards of the manor. These people had another identity: that was the assassins of Ghost Realm.
That Feng Lin Che dares to desire Miss Lan? Really doesnt know his own strength! An Er said disdainfully.
If master didnt instruct to only kill Feng Lin Ches guards, I was going to kill Feng Lin Che, An San said in dissatisfaction.
But this Feng Lin Ches is gutsy! He dares to send people to Lan manor to assassinate Miss Lan. Isnt this touching masters sacred forest? An Si said disdainfully. Before, they believed you can provoke anyone but dont provoke master but now they knew, you can provoke anyone but you cannot provoke Miss Lan. If you provoke master, you have to die but if you provoke Miss Lan, master will make you wish for death.
Young miss, we found the people who were sent to assassinate the other night. They are third wangye Feng Lin Ches death soldiers! Lan Feng reported the results of the investigation to Lan You Nian. Every prince had some death soldiers in theirmand. Those death soldiers were specially trained emotionless machines. They only knew to obey the orders of their master. Once the matters are revealed, they willmit suicide.
Oh? Its him? Lan You Nian thought it was the Empresss faction. She didnt expect that third wangye was the one who acted first. Her rejection probably made this prince feel he lost face so felt hateful. Indeed a man who isnt worthy of mention. Cant even tolerate such a simple matter.
I know. Take people to third wangyes manor to clean up! Since he dared to hurt her You Nian Pavilions guards, if she didnt return the gift, it wont be proper.
This...Lan Feng looked at their young miss, Third wangye manors guards were killed by some unidentified men in ck. Im currently investigating this!
Lan You Nians ck eyes shed, her lips burst into a brilliant smile, No need to investigate, I know who did it!
Chapter 106 - Once Again Going On Stage
106 Once Again Going On Stage
May 26, 2019

Lan You Nian sat in Zhen Wei Pavilions third floor. Gui Yi and Gui San were already waiting there.
Little junior sister, senior brother was going to Lan manor to pick you up. But Gui Yi didnt allow, so boring! Gui San shook the folding fan. Fortunately this was still summer otherwise who knew how people would look at Gui San.
Come, drink a cup of tea! Gui Yi brewed a cup of flower tea and ced it in front of Lan You Nian. A robe of white made him appear ethereal. Strands of ck silk were erected and casually tied together in the back. There was a feeling of ascending into the sky.
Thanks big brother! Lan You Nian epted the tea, her eyes curved. Her appearance was that of a well-behaved little sister. She wasnt as kind as she appeared but she was willing to retract her thorns in front of these people.
I think little junior sister is biased. Now that you have Gui Yi you forget about me! Gui San grumbled in dissatisfaction. With shifu absent, their strengths were equal. The friendship between them brothers was very good so there was rarely ever any conflicts between them. But since little junior sister came into their lives, the only dispute they had was who was the favorite brother in little junior sisters heart. Theyve fooled around with each other so many years and they still arent tired of it.
How so? Third brother worked hard for Wu Qing Pavilion. How about this time third brother go back to Wu Qing Pavilion to rest? Lan You Nian said knowingly.
Dont! I want to stay in the capital to protect little junior sister! Gui San hastily removed his folding fan as he begged for mercy.
Theres me to protect little junior sister. You can go back! Gui Yis voice floated in the air, that pair of eyes that desired nothing shed withughter.
Hmph! If wepare our ability to scheme how can youpare to me? Gui Yi you go back to y with your herbs. Best let me protect little junior sister! Gui San wasnt convinced. Each brother had their own expertise.
So you spread the news that little junior sister wille to Zhen Wei Pavilion today? Gui Yi used. Even the teacup in his handsnded on the table with some weight.
No wonder there were so many people who came to Zhen Wei Pavilion today,Lan You Nian wasnt angry. She knew third brother will not do things that hurt her. What was there to be angry about between them.
Now that many people in the capital know Miss Miao Yin is little junior sister, Gui San you still want little junior sister to go onstage? Isnt this finding trouble for little junior sister? It wasnt that Gui Yi didnt know Gui San had no intention of harming little junior sister. He was simply worried.
Gui San picked up the tea cup, sipping on the cold tea. The fox smile on his lips still did not change, Since so many people know little junior sister is Miss Miao Yin then why dont we prove it to them? Its better than to have many people nder little junior sister behind her back!
True, but every time little junior sister goes on stage is voluntary. What you did was wrong! Gui Yi still med Gui San. They knew little junior sister liked her freedom. If they tried to bind her or force her, they cant guarantee little junior sister wont leave them.
How do you know little junior sister is not willing? Ai, between all us brothers it is still I who understand little junior sister best! Gui San gloated, The Ru Yi Restaurant opposite us is always imitating our Zhen Wei Pavilion, always vying for Zhen Wei Pavilions business. Once little junior sisteres, what business arent we able topete with!
Gui San didnt speak falsely. Yesterday, when he was informed that little junior sister wille to Zhen Wei Pavilion, he spread the news. Today, from the early morning to present evening, the hall was entirely overcrowded. Many people sat in Zhen Wei Pavilion all day, refusing to leave. This effect was simply too good. Who canpete against little junior sister?
Find out who opened the restaurant? Lan You Nian asked.
The opening of the restaurant opposite Zhen Wei Pavilion did have a minor influence on Zhen Wei Pavilion but it didnt imitate the essence of Zhen Wei Pavilion. Therefore it only became a nondescript restaurant. However recently the restaurant has started to grab at Zhen Wei Pavilions cooks, manager, and even the servers are not exempt. But how could Zhen Wei Pavilions people be stolen away so easily? The actions of these people made Lan You Nian irate. Who liked having someone else coveting their own things, let alone it was the slightly haughty Lan You Nian.
En, it is the past richest man in the capital Zhang Cai Fu! In only a few short days, Gui San was able to call out the one who hid his true identity, but he didnt expect this person to be Zhang Cai Fu.
Speaking of this Zhang Cai Fu, he was the same as his name, very rich indeed. In the past, he was fawned over by many officials in the capital, only for the wealth in his hands. Zhang Cai Fu, whether this person was simply too lucky or had many blessings, the restaurants, brothels, inns, and many businesses that he manages upied a ce in the capital. Three years before, due to Wu Qing Pavilions forceful entry, Zhang Cai Fus business took a tumble. He lost the title of the richest man in the capital and lost the days when people fawned over him.
From then on, Zhang Cai Fu wanted to defeat Wu Qing Pavilion. No matter what methods he used, it was to no avail. He disappeared for a long time. And now hes returned to the capital, and used such a method to provoke Wu Qing Pavilion! Lan You Nians good mood today was entirely ruined. This Zhang Cai Fu Lan You Nian has seen before, a belly full of dirtiness made no one like him. Zhang Cai Fu used that lewd gaze to leer at fifth brother though at that time fifth brother wore a mask. Hearing this name now, Lan You Nian was displeased.
Lan Yu Nian got up, picked up a brush, andid down a very good texture of rice paper, before slowly starting to write. Then to Gui San, she said, Take this list to Gui Niang. Today Zhen Wei Pavilion will be introducing a new dish. All are free to taste!
Gui San and Gui Yi looked down at the contents of the rice paper. Every time little junior sister handed over a recipe, they were all precious and delicious. This time they knew wont be any different. Having little junior sister personally assumemand and presenting novel dishes, this time Zhang Cai Fus restaurant will definitely be finished.
Lan You Nian attached the veil, preparing to go downstairs to y the zither. After all, there were many people anxiously waiting downstairs. Towards those who really liked music, Lan You Nian didnt find annoying.
Little junior sister going down now? Gui Yi asked.
Yes, it will just take one song before the new dishes will be served, just in time! Lan You Nian nodded.
Many people are guessing at your identity. Little junior sister when are you going to reveal your true face? Gui Yi asked with concern. Although he yed with herbs all day long, he still heard some of the rumors circting outside. Lan manors legitimate daughter Lan You Nian was the Miss Miao Yin who astounded all four countries. It was a pity that she was an ugly woman.
A face is just human skin. How can rumors hurt me? Lan You Nian smiled then left the room.
Gui Yi gazed at the womans back, his eyes filled with warmth. His little junior sister was always that strong and carefree, so strong and carefree that it made his heart ache. In the past, he would always protect her for the rest of his life. That thought hasnt changed in his mind. Only now, he knew that another man will stand even closer to her to protect her.
Until Lan You Nian walked down the third floor, Gui Yi retracted his gaze. To Gui San who used the sameplicated gaze to look at him, Gui Yi smiled dimly, Rx, I know our current rtionship is for the best. I wont make things difficult for little junior sister!
Gui San didnt know how tofort this Gui Yi who was like his own brother. He only pped Gui Yis shoulder as he sighed. In this world, feelings were the mostplicated thing. He couldnt say anything to persuade Gui Yi to give up, because such a girl like little junior sister deserved any mans love.
When everyone noticed the figure in the bead curtain on stage, the hall was silent, washing their ears to listen to beautiful music.
Lan You Nian felt a familiar line of sight on her. She couldnt help but look up at the box on the second floor. The man standing next to the window sill gazed at her with shiny eyes, eyes full of boundless gentleness.
It seemed that every time she looked back, she will see this man. Lan You Nian felt at peace. She didnt think about why he was here, didnt ask why he knew she would be here, she only knew this man was behind her.
Ai, you say, why is Nianer meimei so horrible. She didnt even tell us she came to Zhen Wei Pavilion! Yu Liu Li came to Feng Yi Xuans side looking down at Lan You Nian who was within the bead curtains,ining. If they were so well-informed when it came to information, they wouldnt even know Nianer meimei will get on stage today.
Feng Yi Xuan felt his good mood worsen in an instant. Why were there so many idle people every time he saw Nian Nian? For example, sitting in the box right now was Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li who keeps lingering.
Cant tell you every single time! Jing Wu Anughed. He came here today simply to listen to Nianer meimeis music. There was no one in this world who can y the zither better than Nianer meimei.
A while ago Feng Lin Ches guards were killed. AXuan, was it your doing? Feng Xia Qi asked.
En. Feng Yi Xuan did not withdraw his gaze on Lan You Nian. Such a lingering gaze caused Feng Xia Qis eyes to sh. Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li seemed to understand something. Before, they only thought Feng Yi Xuans affection towards Nianer meimei was the affection towards a little sister, but recently Feng Yi Xuans actions made them aware this man fell in love with that woman.
To go against Feng Lin Che so quickly, seemed dangerous! Feng Xia Qi didnt understand. This brother of his always did things the safest way but this matter was clearly not nned. It was too urgent. This wasnt Feng Yi Xuans style.
He sent people to assassinate Nian Nian! There was a violent storm in Feng Yi Xuans eyes.
What? This Feng Lin Ches is too daring! Feng Xia Qi was worried about Lan You Nians safety. Now that he knew why his younger acted like this, from the bottom of his heart, he agred with Feng Yi Xuans actions.
Both Feng Lin Che and Feng Shao Chu are starting to maneuver against you both. Perhaps from now on, third wangye and the Empresss faction will unite together! Jing Wu An analyzed, then looked at Lan You Nian down below, Hope they wont blindly provoke innocent people!
Chapter 107 - Retaliate Against Feng Lin Che
107 Retaliate Against Feng Lin Che
May 26, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Zhen Wei Pavilions front hall was full of people, but strangely silent. Everyone held their breath watching the figure behind the bead curtain, looking forward to another feast to the ears.
Lan You Nians eyes swept over the guests in the hall through the curtain beads and noticed the several men sitting at the table closest to the stage, their eyes filled with calctions. Lan You Nian knew with one nce that they were here to cause trouble.
Her hands were prepared to pluck at the zither when Lan You Nian heard a voice from the table, Everyone says Miss Miao Yin is Lan manors legitimate daughter. Can Miss Miao Yin exin this?
Although the crowd disliked this persons interruption but they were curious to hear the answer to the question. No matter what, gossip always exists.
It is me! Lan You Nian didnt deny. There was nothing to deny.
Then about the rumors that Lan manors legitimate daughters face is like a ghost, is that true? the man didnt seem think bullying a girl was any wrong, his eyes looked at the figure in the bead curtains revealed ridicule.
So what if it is? What if it isnt? Lan You Nian could distinctly sense Feng Yi Xuans killing intent from upstairs. She gently looked at Feng Yi Xuan. Even if Feng Yi Xuan couldnt see Lan You Nians expression through the bead curtain, he understood Nian Nians meaning. She didnt want him to intervene.
If not then why doesnt Miss Miao Yin let people see for themselves. If true, then Wu Qing Pavilion really is interesting to find an ugly girl to be here. Isnt it making everyone have no appetite? When the man finished, the several men beside him also muttered their approval.
Many guests in the hall were dissatisfied with these men from the very start. But everyone were guests of Zhen Wei Pavilion. Zhen Wei Pavilions management didnte out. Although they wanted to stand up for the woman in the bead curtains, they might not have that ability.
What qualifications do you have to say this? Are you Zhen Wei Pavilions guest? Or are you the boss of Cai Fu Restaurant? Lan You Nians voice emittedughter.
Is it that Cai Fu Resturant has no business so even the boss needs toe to Zhen Wei Pavilion to eat? Eating is okay but if you make a big deal of nothing then sorry, Zhen Wei Pavilion doesnt wee! Lan You Nian dered, thrumming the zither.
You, when did Wu Qing Pavilion allow a woman to speak? the man sneered with embarrassment, dissatisfied inside. He was Zhang Cai Fus son. Father let him run the restaurant to suppress Wu Qing Pavilion in order to return to the status of the capitals richest man.
Then why is Cai Fu Restaurants boss making things difficult for a woman? Lan You Nians zither didnt stop, but her words were obviously sarcastic. The many people below began to drive away these men. Today they came to listen to Miss Miao Yins song, not to listen to these men find trouble.
Originally everyone didnt discriminate against Fu Cai Restaurant but after this mans repeated bullying of Miss Mia Yin, their impression of Cai Fu Restaurant was a lot worse for it. Many of the people present were either rich or nobility. For such a thing to be happening in front of them, from now on, Cai Fu Restaurant would have an even harder time topete against Zhen Wei Pavilion. It probably wont be long before it disappears entirely. Sharp tongue! the man refused to let go of Lan You Nian, even started to swear, If Miss Miao Yin is willing to go to our Cai Fu restaurant, then thedy can state any condition, the man remembered the important thing he came to Zhen Wei Pavilion for. One was to destroy the image of Zhen Wei Pavilion, second, it was to steal away Zhen Wei Pavilions signature idol.
What authority do you have that you are certain that I will go to Cai Fu Restraint? The zither in Lan You Nians hands were still ying peacefully, Money, I dontck. Reputation, I dont care for. So I ask you, what are you using to persuade me? Lan You Nians voice was very lovely, so even if she was ying the zither while talking, the people below were enjoying it. Many people thought that in this world probably only Miss Miao Yin had this skill, even a voice can capture your ears.
My cousin-brother is third wangye. Since you are Lan manors legitimate daughter you must know third wangye. If you dont leave Zhen Wei Pavilion today, you know the consequences! the man threatened arrogantly. He didnt know his words would only force Feng Lin Che to abandon his family, and bring trouble to Feng Lin Che.
It turns out Zhang young masters backing is third wangye, but can a wangye force a woman like this? When did themon practice of the capital be like this! Lan You Nian deliberately led the topic in the direction of Feng Lin Che.
As Lan You Nian expected, many people below started to consider third wangye. For a wanye to be covering up for a wealthy businessman in the capital to threaten a poor girl, such a matter chilled many peoples hearts. It stinked up Feng Lin Ches reputation amongst many of the literary people.
On the surface Lan You Nian might just be a woman but Miss Miao Yins reputation made many worship her. Whether in the pugilistic world or amongst nobility, very few will provoke Miss Miao Yin. Miss Miao Yin represented many peoples fantasy, a fantasy towards a beautiful world.
Nianer meimeis move is truly ruthless, to tarnish Feng Lin Ches reputation. Someone who doesnt even have a good reputation, how can he inherit? Yu Liu Li praised. In the past, towards this Miss Miao Yin he never met, he worshipped her because of her zither. But now, he truly liked Nianer meimei, because he considered himself her brother.
But this continues,osan will consider Nianer meimei a thorn in his eye. We knowosan is most vicious. Nianer meimei is too daring! Although Feng Xia Xi wanted to apud Lan You Nians actions, he considered the pros and cons in the future.
If not daring then it wouldnt be Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan was very calm. He supported Nian Nian in everything. He will pamper her and protect her.
When Feng Lin Che received the news and hurried to Zhen Wei Pavilion, Lan You Nian had not left the high tform yet. So when Feng Lin Che entered Zhen Wei Pavilion, Lan You Nian noticed him.
Feng Lin Che red at the several men and was going to walk up to the second floors box. There was Feng Lin Ches box which he set all year round. In fact, many of boxes on the second floor were usually packed all year round by some powerful people. Feng Lin Che was no exeception.
Third wangye you came! the manager eximed, raising his voice as if afraid people wont hear. Towards the errant boy beside him, he reprimanded, What are you doing standing there? Third wangye came yet you dont serve him!
The managers loud voice reminded a lot of people as they noticed Feng Lin Che. Because of the men looking for trouble, the crowd didnt have a good impression of Feng Lin Che. Now that they saw the man in question, though they didnt show it on their faces, but Feng Lin Che can sense it in the atmosphere.
Cousin-brother! The man surnamed Zhang saw Feng Lin Che, eximed excitedly and then dared toin, Cousin-brother, this Miss Miao Yin dares to not give you face, you must teach this Miss Miao Yin a lesson!
When the words came out, all the guests present were angry, even some people of the pugilistic world were ready to start swearing at this Zhang man. The words also dragged Feng Lin Che in.
Feng Lin Ches expression wasnt good, but Zhang didnt notice as he continued toin. In between lines, it was all telling Feng Lin Che to teach Lan You Nian a lesson. He didnt know the more he said, the more it made other people feel Feng Lin Ches virtues are diminishing.
Lan You Nian stopped the zither, her words carried a womans unique grievance and tenderness, Nianer is only a woman. When I was young and pitiful, I came to Zhen Wei Pavilion to y the zither for a living. For third wangye is so aggressive, it makes me thankless towards my saviors. What intentions do you harbor?
Everyone knew Lan manors legitimate daughter has been wandering around outside since she was little. Now that her connection to Miss Miao Yin is revealed, more people felt she has lived a very hard life for one so young. All present, whether male or female, all felt pity and towards Feng Lin Ches actions, they were even more disapproving. Miss Miao Yin didnt forget her origins, she still protected Zhen Wei Pavilion. She was a model for other women to follow. Third wangyes aggressiveness really lost a mans breadth of mind.
Miss Lan misunderstands. How can this wang do that? Feng Lin Che deliberately washed himself of all me. To the surnamed Zhang man who wasining, Younger cousin-brother, how can you be so impolite? It seems recently you like to joke around.
So it turns out this young master acted on his own to make things difficult for me a woman. No matter what, this young master is an owner of a restaurant. Acting like this, doesnt it diminish his identity? Lan You Nian deliberately angered the surnamed Zhang.
Cousin-brother, it was you... the man surnamed Zhang wanted to argue and push out Feng Lin Che, but would Feng Lin Che give him this opportunity?
Feng Lin Che pped the man surnamed Zhang. This p was only to let this surname Zhang man shut up. But Lan You Nian who was sitting inside the bead curtains used internal force to make that man fall over with that p. The people outside only saw Feng Lin Che was too harsh when he pped the Zhang man. The man couldnt hold his bearing and fell down.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Feng Yi Xuan used internal strength to cause the man to coincidentally crash his head in the corner of the table. Instantly blood flowed from Zhang mans head. Zhen Wei Pavilion broke into chaos, as all kinds of screams intertwined.
Gui San with the management appeared in the hall appeasing the emotions of the guests. With his folding fan, he checked the fallen Zhang mans pulse and very regretfully sighed, his gaze on Feng Lin Che was upset, Why did third wangye do this? Even if this person was going to say third wangyes uwful intentions, third wangye cant silence the witness!
Feng Lin Che panicked. He only wanted him to shut up but didnt expect that with so many eyes watching, someone died, this...
I only exacted fairness for Miss Lan. I didnt expect he was so careless to fall into the table Feng Lin Che wanted to wash himself of me, but how could Lan You Nian give him this opportunity? Her entire purpose today was to scheme against him.
Fairness? Third royal brother is speaking really strangely. Nianer meimei didnt do anything. You say youre getting justice, but the one making trouble for Nianer meimei seems to be third brother. Although third imperial brother is a prince, you are really ruthless towards your own rtives! Feng Xia Qi and the others walked out of the box to the front hall. This kind of talking must be done by Feng Xia Qi.
This was an ident! Fourth brother why drag this out? Feng Lin Che retaliated.
When did this wang act so rudely? Alright, third brother better take this corpse away and bury it Feng Xia Qi acted like he was sympathetic, Only pity is that he has always been doing things for third brother!
Although Feng Lin Che wanted to argue with Feng Xia Qi, this clearly wasnt a good time. Many people saw him kill someone with his own hands. Even if he was a prince, he wont be able to gain an upper hand with Imperial father.
Feng Lin Che ordered his guards to take the corpse of surname Zhang, and acted gravely as he said he will give an exnation for the dead person. This was no concern of Lan You Nians because what she wanted to do has been acheived.
In the future, Zhang Cai Fu and Feng Lin Che will definitely have enmity between them. Then this Zhang Cai Fus road of wealth would be even more difficult to walk. Feng Lin Che wouldck money to open up rtionships. He will certainly have a headache for a while. This was what she wanted to do.
Chapter 108 - Farewell in the Study
108 Farewell in the Study
May 26, 2019
secretdreamwishes
What has Lan Yin been doing recently? Lan You Nian was sorting out stuff as she asked Zhang Lin who stood outside the pavilion.
Recently, second master entered eldest masters military camp but in the camps, he is always spreading rumors about eldest master, bringing trouble for eldest master. If this continues, eldest masters prestige will be damaged in the camp! Zhang Lin didnt like this Lan manors second master, gluttonous,zy and didnt know his ce. Indeed, he was An yiniangs child. Theyre all the same, made people hate.
En, you go down and tell everyone to pack up. We leave tonight! Lan You Nian said.
Young miss, if we all leave, then what about You Nian Pavilion? Zhang Lin worriedly asked. If all fifteen of them left, young miss wasnt even there, then if something happened in You Nian Pavilion, there wouldnt be anyone to stop it.
Nothing, only a residence! Lan You Nian didnt care. Besides if An yiniangs guts were really that big to dare to touch her You Nian Pavilions things, then even if she didnt make a move, the protective Feng Yi Xuan wont let go of her.
Lan Ren, Lan You Nian looked Lan Ren who was sitting there eating grapes, lips smirked, Lan Yin likes to gamble?
Lan Ren hurriedly put down the grapes in his hand. The grapes Feng Yi Xuan sent over were simply too delicious, He doesnt like it now, but in the future he will like!
I remember in the capital there is a famous gambling house. Lead Lan Yin there. Whats next I believe you know! in the inner chamber Lan You Nian pulled out some mens clothing. Outside Lan Ren and the others saw the grapes were quickly diminishing as they ate.
Yes! Lan Ren left the pavilion.
Lan Wu walked in to help miss sort out other things, very eagerly asked, Young miss, this time going back can I go with?
Lan Wu who was eating grapes outside hastily ran inside when she heard this, pitifully looked at Lan You Nian, Yeah young miss, me and Lan Qu go together too! Its all just a bunch of big men, how can they take care of young miss?
Lan You Nian didnt say anything as she continued to sort out stuff. Her eyes gazended on the couch beside the window, she suddenly thought of that man who came just about every night just to sleep on that couch, did disdain its small size. Sometimes if she wasnt there, he would wait veryte before leaving. On the days of her poison awakens, she made him leave. He didnt have anyins as he returned to Ming wang manor. On the second night, he woulde back.
Lan You Nian thought that maybe she should go tell this man she would be leaving for a time. She knew if she didnt say anything, this man will probablye here every night and leave in disappointment. She understood her own mind. After some time of consideration, she decided to go with the flow. She wouldnt insist nor would she resist. Shell give herself a chance and give other people a chance. Lets see if in the end, shell really fall in love with this man or she would still remain calm and cold.
I am going to train Zhang Lin and the others, not to go sightseeing. Theres no need for people take care of me! Lan You Iian watched the two sort out these things much better than her and sat beside the table, If you feel bored go to third brothers ce, or go to big brothers ce to y!
Lan Wu and Lan Qu finished sorting out the things and stood in front of Lan You Nian, their eyes firm, Young miss we want to join in the training!
Lan You Nian wasnt a master who intervened in everything. In many things she will let them choose themselves then take responsibility themselves. Now was the same. Although she was worried about the two but still didnt reject, only said, You know if you enter the training grounds, even if you are my friends I wont be sympathetic, even if you are hanging by a thread I wont interfere!
Lan You Nian told the truth. She will truly do this, even if the words were heartless.
We know! the two nodded, how could they not know? Before, many Wu Qing Pavilions subordinates died in the training ground but their young miss didnt have any pity. They didnt feel miss was heartless, after all it was survival to the fittest, this was the principle young miss taught them.
Lan You Nian knew she will agree, but there was some concern inside, she privately didnt want them to go.
How could Lan Wu and Lan Qu not know young miss was worried about them? LAn Qu walked over to Lan You Nians and knelt down, I know young miss was ten years old when you went alone through the training ground. I and Lan Wu although cantpare to young miss but we are young misss servant girls. We wont losedys face!
Go pack! Lan You Nian smiled and agreed.
The two immediately ran out of the pavilion, giggling, afraid Lan you Nian will leave them behind. Although they were only young misss servant girls but, in their hearts,, they knew they were too weak and will one day drag down their young miss. Though in the future if they encountered something, they are willing to die but young miss said that was the practice of the weak. So they can only be stronger.
Lan You Nian looked at that couch again, sighed in her heart, and disappeared in You Nian Pavilion.
Ming wang manor was heavily guarded, like a inpregnable fortress, at Ming wang manors shadows hidden many hgih martial arts shadow guards, anyone who wanted to break into Ming wang manor will receive weing/treatment was kill on sight, and Ming wang manors wall dont know how many lives have been lost.
When Lan You Nian appeared on the wall of Ming wang manors, a burst of oppressive killing aura rushed at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nians eyes shed as she prepared for a good fight. When ck-clothed people appeared on the wall and saw Lan You Nian they instantly retracted their killing aura. One by one as if they had face paralysis, squeezed out a gentle smile, but that smile was too horrible to look at. Lan you Nian couldnt bear to look straight at it. Many more people in ck magnify their sense of existence, trying hard to earn the right to follow their matriarch in the future.
When An Yi appeared, he noticed Lan You Nian standing in the middle of the shadow guards with a forced smile, her small figure wasnt suppressed but you could faintly see the bearing of a master. When An Yi saw his subordinates fawning look, he shook with anger. Did this group of stinky rascals not have any backbone? Losing their shadow guards face! They are Ghost Realms assassins! Do they look like assassins at all?
Have a lot of free time? An Yi coldly snapped, then instantly all the shadow guards disappeared into the shadows to stand at their posts, Lan You Nian can feel their breathing, but such shadow guards was already pretty good.
Miss Lan came to look for master? An Yi said fawningly, Master is currently in the study handling official duties, subordinate will take Miss Lan there!
In the shadows all shadow guards rolled their eyes. Their leader was clearly fawning; it was disdainful, but inside they were envious. The most popr topic amongst them shadow guards that that as long as you please the matriarch, there was no need to be afraid of master anymore!
When they came to Feng Yi Xuans study, Lan you Nian to An Yi said, Trouble you to announce!
An Yi muttered mentally, where do you need to announce? If Miss Lan wanted to enter Ming wang manor where is not allowed? If they dare to stop then their ending wont be pretty.
She didnt wait for An Yi to say the two words no need, Feng Yi Xuan came out from the study, afraid to miss something.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuans quick footsteps. She thought Feng Yi Xuan encountered something he needed to deal with so she didnt say anything, but when she saw Feng Yi Xuan walked in front of her and asked overjoyed, Nian Nian, how are you here?
In the study he was processing documents. With his martial arts he can hear the sounds outside. From the start, he felt was hallucinating from missing that girl too much. But that voice was so real that Feng Yi Xuan anxiously ran out, afraid to miss something.
When he walked out of the study, he saw Nian Nian standing there. He found everything was so wonderful. That girls hair was like waterfall, skin like cream. A hibiscus face, a willow figure, made it hard for people to forget. It seemed no matter how many times he saw Nian Nian, whichever Nian Nian she was, he was greedy for this girls everything.
Cante to your Ming wang manor for no reason? Lan You Nian purposefullyughed, squinting her eyes changing it into a crescent moon. Facing the rising sun, as if a sparklingke reflecting the rainbows seven colored light, beautiful beyondpare.
No! Lan You Nians voice fell. Feng Yi Xuan anxiously exined, afraid the girl in front of him will be angry, If Nian Nian wants toe then cane! In fact, Feng Yi Xuan felt if Nian Nian lived here it would be even better, but he didnt say this, afraid Nian Nian will feel he was too brusque.
Feng Yi Xuan grabbed Lan You Nians hands and walked into the study. Feng Yi Xuans hands were wide, thick, andfortable. More importantly, they made Lan You Nian feel reassured. Lan You Nian can feel Feng Yi Xuans hand was slightly calloused, that was obtained from using swords often. There was a thinyer of wet sweat, that was from nervousness. Lan You Nian couldnt help curling up the corner of her lips.
Feng Yi Xuans heart secretly smiled, because he was holding Nian Nians hand. Nian Nian didnt refuse, doesnt this mean he has taken another step closer? Although he was usually overbearing as he hugged Nian Nian, sometimes will even take a lot of liberties, but every time he will always be nervous, even more unwilling to let go.
Walking into study Lan You Nian smelled the ink mixing with Feng Yi Xuans scent. It smelled nice.
At the four corners of the study stood pirs of white marble. All four walls were carved out of white stone bricks. Orchids carved out of gold bloomed in the white stone. The studys bookcase was full of books. On the desk carved out of fragrant wood, there was an inkstone and brush and a stack of documents that needed to be taken care of. Lan You Nian stood in this building reaching ten meters high. If it werent so uniquely calm, she really wanted to shout luxury
After today I will leave the capital for a while! Lan You Nian sat on the couch in the study, very straightforward. This was her purpose ining today.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard this he was happy and then sad, happy was Nian Nian thought of him, unhappy was that Nian Nian was clearly telling him to not follow, so he definitely wont be able to see Nian Nian.
How long? Feng Yi Xuan stabilized his mood
Ten or so days... Lan You Nian replied, then felt the studys air became colder.
Chapter 109 - Training
109 Training
May 27, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian took Zhang Lin and the others to Sunset City. This town, because of its distance from the bustling capital, still looked the same, a hazy ancient feel. Wu Qing Pavilion was in fact established in Sunset City. Wu Qing was established here to guard Medical Valley, to protect the family she recognized.
Deep within the forest, ancient trees towered, covering up the sky. Because the forest looked frightening and mysterious, so ording to the local people, few people dared to enter this forest. Even if they dared to enter, no one ever came out. This piece ofnd was isted from the outside world. There was a double barrier of the forest and the swamp. The dark forest was eerie and terrifying; outsiders hardly ever dared to set foot into it. asionally a daring person barged in. They would only be blocked again by a swamp. Peoples instinctual survival wouldnt allow them to enter the swamp so theypletely lost the opportunity to set foot into this purend.
Lan You Nian led everyone into the dark forest. She could sense everyones tension. Lan You Nian didnt say anything tofort them, only continued to walk in front of them without uttering a word. Behind her, everyone stared at Lan You Nians every step, afraid with one misstep, they will drown in this forest and be a skeleton.
When they reached the depths of the forest, they noticed a man standing there. He couldnt be considered good-looking but his body was sturdy, a somber temperament, and slightly dark skin. He only needed to stand there to seem like a unique part of thendscape within this overflowing world.
When that man saw Lan You Nian, his grim face glowed with warmth and smiles.
Lan You Nian walked over to the man and smiled sweetly, Second brother!
Gui Ers body carried a killing aura that was honed from training. However around Lan You Nian, he always became that simple-minded and foolish second brother. With just a smile, Gui Ers somber mien became much more intimate, Little junior sister! His voice contained a love towards a younger sister.
Second brother why are you waiting here? Lna You Nian nced at Gui Ers thin brocade robes. It was always colder in this ancient forest. Although Gui Ers body was healthy, as a little sister, Lan You Nian couldnt help chiding him.
Gui Er snickered, revealing a mouth of white teeth, not caring about the little amount of clothes on his body, I received a letter saying little junior sister will being so I came here to wait for you!
Lan You Nian smiled, pointing at the several people standing at a distance behind her, Them!
All here to train? Gui Er asked, unsure. He saw Lan Wu and Lan Qu amongst them. These two were little junior sisters servant girls. Little junior sister usually treated them very well. If they were injured or lost their live, he didnt know how upset little junior sister would be?
Lan You Nian scanned Lan Qu and Lan Wu standing amongst a crowd of men. The two of them changed out of their favorite blue dresses and put on ck mens clothing. They seemed to possess a heroic aura, with no timidity in their eyes, only a deep desire to be stronger.
En, theres no need to be merciful. Treat everyone equally! Lan You Nian walked over to the guards.
In the next few days, you will be training. From the moment you enter this forest, the training will begin! Lan You Nian stood with her hands behind her back, her posture mafr people believe in her even more than men, If you dont work hard here, you will very easily lose your life. I hope many people wille out of this training!
Yes firm voices echoed, rming the flock of birds in the branches.
Lan You Nian wore tight fitting ck clothes today, her long ck hair was tied back, making her seem like a real man. Without another word, she entered the training ground with Gui Er.
On the first day, everyones training was long distance running. Their track was the rugged mountain forest so the difficulty was increased. Most importantly, throughout the mountain forest, there were many well-ced traps. If they werent careful, they will fall into those traps and be injured. Fifteen people, adding on Lan Wu and Lan Qu, with a total of seventeen people, only one person was injured.
Night came quietly. Lan You Nian didnt allow them to bring along rations. The problems of what they are to eat and drink, they must solve themselves. When these people saw their young miss who should be in You Nian Pavilion admiring the moon and ying the zither personally ignite a fire, hunt, and cook food, even leading them on a run all day without a singleint, made everyone admire Lan You Nian even more.
Of the seventeen people, Lan Qu and Lan Wus situation was the worst. Both were women and neither of them had high martial arts. After a whole day, their bodies were exhausted. But from beginning to end, Lan You Nian did not say anything to help them. The two made effort and didnt allow anyone to give them food. They dragged their exhausted bodies to search for food.
Everyone settled down in the forest to rest. Halfway through the night they were suddenly attacked. Gui Er led a group of people to attack Zhang Lin and the others. Zhang Lin and the others were all flustered but they fought with their lives. Lan you Nian just stood beside Gui Er, watching as the guards fought. This went on until the end of the night before the attackers retreated.
Lan You Nian handed everyone some emergency medicine, then flew up a branch to rest. As the others stayed still in their spots, they knew the sudden attack was part of the training. It must be said that everyone became more alert through the rest of the exercise.
In the days following, Lan You Nian trained with the others. What was different was that when they encountered difficulties or danger, she didnt intervene. When sharp barbs poked through Lan Wus side and making it bleed, Lan You Nian who was standing beside her could have reached out a hand to pull her out, but Lan You Nian didnt. Lan Wu was screaming from pain but she didnt ask their young miss to save her.
In the end, Lan Wu used her own hands to grab onto the stones around the trap and climb out step by one. By the time Lan Wu climbed out of the trap, ayer of skin was worn away from both her hands, her fingers were scraped with big and small blisters. Lan Wu didnt feel hurt because young miss didnt save her. Instead, sheughed. Because she was a step stronger, a step closer to young miss.
The bloody from Lan Wus body still flowed but she still stood in front of Lan you Nian, calling out happily, Young miss!
Lan You Nian understood her happiness. She was even more moved by her loyalty but there was no change in her expression. She only handed a wound medicine to her and then went to rest. Afterwards, some guards asked Lan Wu, was she angry that young miss treated her like this? At that time, Lan Wu replied like this, Why be angry? I am young misss servant girl. Whether its death or living, they belong to young miss. If young miss saved me, after I leave, I will probably die in enemy hands, who will save me at that time?
Lan Wus words made people understand Lan You Nians intentions. To follow her, there would be many dangers along the road. If they cant even pass this, then in the future, they cant escape the word death. It was better for them to die here and save young miss from worrying about them.
You can say Lan You Nian is indifferent or that she is cruel, but you cant say she is heartless because everything she did, when wasnt it in consideration of these people?
At the beginning everyone were tired from this high intensity training. Their whole body was weak. However towards the end, everyones spirits became better. Their response to attacks became more skilled. Every one found their own tactic of living in the forest.
On the veryst day, everyones spirit was tense. After several days of training everyone was changed from the inside out. The guards bodies more tough and strong while Lan Wu and Lan Qu lost the softness of a female in their brows.
On thest day, what met them was a fight they had never experienced before. In the previous times, although they were attacked by many people, but those people didnt intent to kill. Today it was different. These people really wanted to kill them.
See there? As long as you reach that spot, you can escape the pursuit. Well see the final results of your training! Lan You Nian said and then found a clean area to spar with Gui Er.
Second brother seems to have be stronger! The corner of Lan You Nians lips was punched by Gui Er but her eyes was still full of intense interest.
I said I will protect little junior sister. Of course I will be stronger! Gui Er was a fair fighter. Although he ached for Lan You Nian, he didnt throw the match.
Lan You Nians smile became more cheerful. She recalled that in the past Gui Ers martial arts werent that good. One time, he saw here back injured and his heart ached. He promised to improve his martial arts to protect her. She didnt expect second brother still remembered.
The two enthusiastically sparred. Because they didnt use internal force, they just used fists and feet, so it was hard to avoid some surface injuries.
Meanwhile, the others were still struggling. Some were injured under Wu Qing Pavilions pursuit. After a while, already half of them were injured. But what pleaded Lan You Nian was that they didnt run to the area of safety. Instead, they depended on each other and didnt give up.
Amongst them, there was one guard who was gravely injured. Now, not only couldnt he help the others, he was starting to drag everyone back. To Zhang Lin, he said, Leader Zhang, you guys leave! If no one leave, everyone will die. This will only let down young misss intention to train us!
Zhang Lin didnt give up. The others didnt give up. Even Lan Wu and Lan Qu didnt give up. The uninjured people dragged an injured person over to the ce of safety. Because they must carry the injured people as well as defend against attack, many more people were injured.
Gradually one person, two people, three people, one by one, they ran to Lan You Nians indicated safe area. Thest one to arrive was Zhang Lin. His body was littered with many wounds. But he did his duty as leader and led everyone to pass the training.
Lan You Nian and Gui Er finished sparring and stood in front of everyone. Every injured and uninjured person stood up, standing up straight, looking at the girl in front of them, their master, their young miss, the person they will follow from now on.
Every one of their skin were much darker. Only Lan You Nians skin was still white after fifteen days. They were different now. They were truly one of Lan You Nians guards.
Congrattions, pass! Lan You Nians exquisite face suddenly burst into a bright smile, that smile was clean like spring water, soft as it plunged through the heart.
YAY! AH! exmations of excitement resounded in the forest. It has only been fifteen days but they felt like several years have passed. However, it was all worth it.
Chapter 110 - Seeing Her Heart
110 Seeing Her Heart
May 30, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian and Gui Er took their time bidding farewell. Before he allowed her to leave, Lan You Nian promised to wait for him to finish his duties and thene to the capital to find her. Only then did Gui Er allow Lan You Nian to leave.
With training at an end, everyone came to Wu Qing Inn to wash up and give themselves a reward for a job well done. After all, the food they ate all this way made these tough men miss the taste of meat.
Lan You Nian let Lan Qu and Lan Wu go take a bath, eat good, and then have a good rest. The two were reluctant. After all, they were just servant girls. They wished to take care of Lan You Nian but Lan You Nian pointed at her and then at them. Clearly, beside receiving some injuries from fighting with Gui Er, Lan You Nians clothes were clean as before, skin just a delicate, and energetic. Then look at then, covered in injuries, clothes were a mess and starting to smell, skin having been darkened by the changing weather. The two could only helplessly leave.
The moment Lan You Nian entered her exclusive room on the third floor, before she even stepped foot into the room, Lan You Nian was dragged inside. Lan You Nians killing aura rose, wanting to kill the intruder, but when she caught scent of the familiar scent, she rxed.
Feng Yi Xuan pulled Lan You Nians petite body into his arms, his slender fingers gently pinched her slightly pointed chin and lowered his head. Sexy thin lips pressed against attractive pink lips, teeth lightly opened, overbearingly sucking her mouths deliciousness like a person who was drugged searching for his antidote, intertwined, not letting go.
Lan You Nian didnt expect to be kissed but these few days she seemed to be always thinking about this. Lan You Nian didnt reject the kiss, allowing this mans hot and violent kiss to fall between her lips and teeth, burning her lips and burning her heart.
Only until when Lan You Nian couldnt breath, Feng Yi Xuan finally released her,ying his head in the crook of her neck, smelling Lan You Nians unique fragrance as hisrge hand patted her back, smoothing her breathing.
As soon as Lan You Nian left, he started to miss her. There was no energy as he did anything. So Feng Yi Xuan followed right behind her footsteps. But he knew Nian Nian had her own things to take care of. She probably had some things she didnt want him to know. So Feng Yi Xuan didnt enter the forest after her though he wanted to. For many days, he stayed in Sunset City waiting for that girl, even official business were brought to him by flying pigeons.
Now that he knew she left the forest, he came to this room to wait for her. He only wanted to spend time with Nian Nian. But as soon as Nian Nian was right beside him, he desperately kissed her. Only this can cure his many days of missing her.
Feng Yi Xuan looked Lan You Nian from head to toe, then dissatisfied said, Thinner! Then he saw the bruise on Lan You Nians lips, his eyes chilled, Who?
As he carefully caressed Lan You Nians lips bruise, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Its nothing, only ident! Lan You Nians bright eyes squinted, a faint smile lifted on her delicate face.
After searching the room, Feng Yi Xuan found a medicine for bruises, gently applying it on Lan You Nians moth. In that moment Lan You Nian felt they have been loving each other for many years, cherishing each others love.
How are you here? Lan You Nian allowed man to gently apply medicine for her, his rough fingers brushed her lips.
Feng Yi Xuans hand didnt stop, but there was a rare panic in his eyes, I only missed you! He knew the girl in front of him was slowly epting him. She started to allow him to kiss her, allow him to hold her little hand, allow him to be in her life right now, but he was worried about his progress, afraid Nian Nian will leave him, just like three years ago, leaving without turning back. He was afraid he couldnt control himself and in his madness, hurt himself and her.
Lan You Nian didnt answer. She found herself ineloquent in front of Feng Yi Xuan. She didnt know how to express herself. Or perhaps because this man was in her heart so she had a womans shyness and didnt know how to face these genuine feelings.
After Feng Yi Xuan finished applying, he held Lan You Nians hands asking, Nian Nian, are you mad?
Lan You Nian curled up in Feng Yi Xuans arms. Looking up, her line of sightnded on the sharp jawline. With his head lowered, his expression was faint but the tenderness in his eyes were more beautiful than the stars.
Feng Yi Xuan, I think I really like you! Lan You Nians beautiful crystalline pair of gemstone eyes glistened as she smiled softly.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes burst with dazzling purple color. Within seconds, they returned to their original purple, drowning Lan You Nian in those eyes.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan smiled as if he obtained the world, unceasingly calling Lan You Nians name, even if he knew the girl in his arms only liked him and did not love him like he loved her, but he still felt a happiness he had never felt before.
And what made Lan You Nians heart feel sour is, she can sense this mans unease. This unease was caused by her. She can feel this mans joy, this joy was given to him by her. When did she start being able to influence this mans emotions?
I will treat you well! Nian Nian, believe me! Feng Yi Xuan gripped Lan You Nians hands. He liked her hands, a moderate size, soft but still able to feel her thin wrist bone, being held within his palm, there was no better fit.
Lan You Nian didnt utter a word. Because for some reason she believed in this mans words. Perhaps towards others, Feng Yi Xuan was too indifferent so when he revealed his different emotions to her, there was always a different kind of gentleness which was incredibly rare.
In Feng Yi Xuans short neen years of life, he has never cared about another person so much. Nor has he ever been tempted by any women. A person like him, once he falls in love, it will be a lifelong entanglement. Feng Yi Xuan didnt know how to express the joy in his heart. In the past, he thought had had to spend many years to make this girl like him. but now he heard the most beautiful words in the world. He only held tightly to Lan You Nians hand, unwilling to let go, afraid this was only a dream.
The two didnt say anything as they stayed in the room but as Feng Yi Xuan took care of his business, from time to time, he would always look up at Lan You Nian who was sleeping peacefully on the couh. His lips, ever since Lan You Nian uttered the words like has not dissipated, the burning hurt made his heart unable to calm down.
Setting aside the documents, Feng Yi Xuan walked over to Lan You Nian andid down beside her, pulling the petite Lan You Nian into his arms, only this way can calm his heart.
Without him knowing, Feng Yi Xuan fell asleep. The two slept side by side, ck silk intertwined, like the most beautiful painting.
When Feng Yi Xuan woke up, opening his eyes, he looked at the girl in his arms. Thinking that everything wasnt just a dream, he smiled foolishly to himself. He carefully inspected Lan You Nians eyes, nose, and lips. The more he looked, the more he liked. How could this world have such a woman who didnt need to use any words to make exchange his heart and soul. She didnt do anything but he was already defeated.
When Lan You Nian woke up the next day, it was already dark. Feng Yi Xuan was still gazing at her for a long long time, unwilling to even blink his eyes.
Young miss! From outside, Lan Wu and Lan Qus voice broke through the quiet.
Feng Yi Xuan rose, walked out of the inner chamber, and opened the door. When LAn Wu and Lan Qu saw Feng Yi Xuan, they were taken aback. They didnt expect Ming wang to walk out of their young misss box. How could Ming wang find young miss? When they followed Ming wang into the room, they saw Lan You Nianzily sleeping on the couch, they rested their hearts.
From the start, they were worried because of Ming wangs identity and personality. But after some time, they couldnt help sigh, even they were moved by Ming wangs pampering of young miss. They noticed young miss seemed very happy, there was a softness in her brows, this was all because of that Ming wang.
Feng Yi Xuan sat there watching as Lan Qu brush Lan You Nians here. Although he didnt want to admit it, but he was really envious Lan Qu can brush Lan You Nians hair. So Feng Yi Xuan watched very seriously. In the future, after Nian Nian and he marry, he will do Nian Nians hair and dress her every day.
Lan Qu, under Feng Yi Xuans envious gaze, didnt know ehre to put her fingers. This was the first time she felt serving the young miss was a difficult task.
Because having thought over some things, Lan You Nian was much more intimate with Feng Yi Xuan. Since she cant let go of the confusing feelings, then she will ept them. In fact, the time she spent in the training grounds was for part for Zhang Lin and the others, but she came in hopes to calm herself down.
Now that she has the answer, she has feelings for this man, then she will happily ept it. She noticed now that she has epted Feng Yi Xuan, she was surprisingly happy.
Feng yi Xuan and Lan You Nian sat across from each other as they ate. During the period of time, Feng Yi Xuan was always picking the dishes she liked, always picking out the fishbones and such things for her. Perhaps no one could ever guess that such a considerate and gentle Feng Yi Xuan was the high status Ming wang.
Is Lan manor still doing well? Lan You Nian asked. She knew this man will watch the manor for her. Now that she felt this man was hers, there was no need to be polite.
En! Feng Yi Xuan let An Yie in to report the recent events in Lan manor.
Miss Lan! An Yi stood beside Lan Wu and reported, Everything is fine in Lan manor but a few days ago, Lan manors housekeeper wanted to enter You Nian Pavilion to steal some precious antiques. This subordinate didnt dare make the decision, so locked up this housekeeper!
At that time, An Yi wanted to kill the person directly but thinking that Lan manor was Miss Lans home, so this was better left to Miss Lan to decide. And seeing how master in this time missing Miss Lan day and night, An Yi felt the one making the decisions in Ming wang manor was probably Miss Lan.
It seems An yiniang is very poor recently! She dares to have some ideas about young misss stuff! Lan Wu huffed angrily.
Rx, she cant jump for long, but letting her die would be too easy... Lan You Nians eyes shed as she said to An Yi, Let him go..
Chapter 111 - Gambler Lan Yin
111 Gambler Lan Yin
June 1, 2019
secretdreamwishes
In the capitals biggest casino, it was a hubbub of people, noisy and confusing. Even though this ce caused many people to lose all their fortune but the crowd has not dissipated.
Lan Yin stood in the casino full of people, kept following everyone starting to ce bets. The obsessive look has be a standard gambler. He already lost all the money in his hands, even stole mothers private money and gambled it all away, yet he was unwilling to return to the manor.
Lost? Lan Yin fell onto the ground, looking at the dice. He has lostpletely.
There was a helper in the casino to help Lan Yin up, Lan second young master, if you dont have money on hand, you can go to the second floor and borrow money from the manager, when Lan second young master wins, just return it!
Lan Yins eyes that havent rested for many days suddenly opened, looking at the servant happily, Really? Take this young master there!
Alright! Lan second young miss pleasee upstairs! the servant diligently led the way for Lan Yin, bringing him to the room of the manager on the second floor.
It turns out to be Lan second young master. Why has Lan second young mastere to this little ones ce? the manager was roughly a thirty years old man, there was a scar on his cheek that as horrifying. His measures in the capital were well known.
Lan Yin arrogantly sat down opposite the manager and said, This young master heard you can borrow money here?
Yes, if Lan second young master doesnt have enough money, you can borrow money from this little one, just take out a corresponding object to mortgage it! The managers eyes shed with a glimmer of light, but Lan Yin didnt notice it.
Alright, then let this young master borrow a thousand taels! Lan Yin carelessly said. A thousand taels was a years expenses of arge manor. He was able to say it so easily was to unt, and besides, he thought the manager wont be willing to let him borrow so much money.
The manager seemed to be troubled as he thought about it, then to Lan Yin said, Lan second young master, lending a thousand taels isnt impossible but Lan second young miss must give something of equal value as coteral!
Lan Yin didnt expect the manager really dared to lend him so much many. He felt in his heart if he had this money, then what couldnt he do? Besides, he saw a lot of people win a lot of money in the course of a night. He felt he can do it too but he had to have the money in his hands.
Then what does this young master need to use as coteral? Lan Yin thought that he didnt have anything valuable. He couldnt touch anything of Lan manor. An manor, although it was his grandfathers home, but was separated by an indirect connection. To say it nicely, he was Lan manors second young miss. To make it sound ugly, he was just an unfavored illegitimate son.
The manager seemed to seriously consider it then said, If there really isnt anything then just sign a debtors contract, if you cant pay the money, then use your hands and feet to pay!
Lan Yin seemed to be scared by the managers words, rapidly shook his head to leave. Although he was mischievous and greedy but he was not brave, he cherished his life even more.
The servant who led him in said charmingly, Lan second young masters luck is very good, it will only take a few days to win, how wouldnt you be able to repay the money? the servant saw Lan Yin seemed to waver and continued, And Lan second master is Lan manors young master, also is Prime Minister ans grandson, Lan manor and An manor how could they disregard Lan young master? But if Lan second young master has money this time, what cant you have?
Lan Yin was moved by this servants words. Indeed, if he win several thousand, then in the future even Lan Mo Xian would have to stand on the side. Father will definitely not continue to ignore him, and even if he lost, he was still fathers child, father cant not save him.
Lan second young master, have you thought about it? There are many people outside waiting to borrow money! The manager said deliberately, there were indeed several gamblers standing outside.
Alright! Lan Yin grit his teeth and nodded, Where is the contract?
The manager took out a written contract, the above regtions clearly stated that they will lend Lan Yin a thousand silver, it must be repaid in three months. If within three months it wasnt repaid, then one of Lan Yins hands and one of his feet will be used to repay.
Lan Yin hardened his heart and sighed in name on the contract, pressed his fingerprint, however inside he felt afraid. But when he received the thousand taels from the manager, hepletely forgot, hurriedly ran to the hall to continue to gamble, so he didnt see the servants contemptuous eyes.
When Lan Yin left the room, the manager stood up and bowed to An San who appeared from the shadows, This subordinatepleted the task!
An San epted the contract in the managers hand, his lips curled, since this Lan Yin offended Miss Lan, his would not be a good ending. Besides, this matter was personally instructed by master, no matter what it must be done well.
En, let him win a little, then lose it all! Finished, An San left the gambling house.
This incident was quite a coincidence. On the way back to the capital, Lan You Nian talked about this with Feng Yi Xuan. To Lan You Nians surprise, the capitals biggest gambling house was Feng Yi Xuans. Since the gambling house belonged to Feng Yi Xuan, then the matter would be much simpler. That is why she designed such a scheme.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian were not in a hurry to return to the capital, instead they made frequent stops, dressing themselves into a wealthy young master and young miss.
Originally Lan You Nian was riding a horse. Feng Yi Xuan felt that Nian Nian wasnt willing to ride with him. Besides, Nian Nians beauty cannot be allowed to be seen by other people. So after a day of riding, he had An Yi arrange a luxurious carriage and took Lan You Nian into the carriage.
Perhaps at every hill there were robbers for they were lucky enough to encounter a group of robbers. Many burly robbers stopped Lan You Nians carriage. The head of the robbers shouted at the people inside the carriage, Give me your money, otherwise I will take your life!
Outside, An Yi and the others already started to prepare to exterminate these robbers. Zhang Lin and the other guards who were disguised as domestic servants clenched their fists. Their young miss held the importance of a god in their hearts. How could they allow these nobodies to insult her?
Inside, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian didnt say anything. The people outside who didnt hear the instructions of the master did not make a move first but this caused the robbers to be anxious. They thought the rich young master and young miss in the carriage must have fainted from the scare.
At this time, another came up from behind. The robbers were overjoyed. From the looks of its, the carriage definitely contained a richdy, though it couldntpare to the carriage in front of them but there were certainly plenty of good things. They didnt expect usually they wouldnt be able to rob even once a month but now today there were two. They were rich!
Robbery! Get out of the carriage! the robber shouted. The driver and the male servant beside him were trying to block them but were directly killed by the robbers. From the carriage came feminine screams and weeping.
Get out! The robbers opened the curtain and pulled out two women from inside, one was the young miss and the other was her maid.
Oh, boss, theres two clean women! the robber said, seeing the two women crying pitifully. The other robbers leered at the two womens body and face.
Good! Tonight let everyone have a taste, look at little face white and tender! The leader of the robbers touched the one who was clearly the young misss face, his lust was obvious.
These two women didnt have any servants with them. They looked to Zhang Lin and the others for help but Zhang Lin and the others didnt even blink. During the time spent in the training grounds, young miss not only let them some techniques, even taught them to have a ruthless heart, those who were kind will not necessarily have a good ending.
The womens crying was very wretched but did not move anyone of the people of Lan You Nians group, even LAn Wu and Lan Qu did not have any pity in their eyes.
What was Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan doing at this moment in the carriage? Lan You Nian sat opposite Feng Yi Xuan, observing Feng Yi Xuans disatisfied expression, because sinceing onto the carriage, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to hug Lan You Nian, but Lan You Nian shot him a cold re which led to it being like this.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan continued to work had to get near Lan You Nian, The carriage is bumpy, it will be morefortable if I hug you!
Lan You Nian nced at the carriage they were riding. This carriage was personally instructed by Feng Yi Xuan to An Yi to prepare. This inside was extremely luxurious, the soft and think carpet nketed the entire carriage, the exquisitely decorated carriages hidden draws were full of the snacks and dried fruits she usually like to eat. In the middle of the carriage was ced a low stool of phoebe zhennan wood with tea and fruits on top of it. She didnt where was it bumpy, where was it ufortable. When did this man learn to lie?
Feng Yi Xuan was very unhappy looking at Lan You Nian, in his eyes were clearly written,e over let me hug you!
Lan You Nian burst intoughter. Since the two of them understood each others hearts, the distance between the two seemed to have shortened. This happiness and joy was different than the happiness those friends, family, and shifu gave. You will feel in this vast sea of people, you are no longer alone, because beside you there is a person who is on the same boat as you through the storm.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girlughing happily in front of him, his lips curled. In the past, in front of Nian Nian, he didnt dare to express himself too much because he was afraid if he advanced too much, Nian Nian will escape. Now that he knew Nian Nian liked him, so he will say and do what he sincerely wanted to express, let her see the real him, fall in love with the real Feng Yi Xuan, fall in love with this entirely different Feng Yi Xuan.
The crisp and sweetughter drifted out of the carriage, letting those standing outside be in a much better mood. Lan Wu and Lan Qu even looked at each other and giggled. They havent heard their young missughing so happily for a long time. Young miss will usually smile andugh with them but it wasnt this happy, it seems young miss being together with Ming wang was right.
The people in the carriage get out! The robbers yelled at the carriage.
Chapter 112 - Robbers
112 Robbers
June 2, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Hearing the robbers roar, Lan You Nian stepped out of the carriage. Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nians hand as he followed behind. Lan You Nian did not wear a veil so as soon as she came out, she made the robbers stupefied, staring at Lan You Nian.
What everyone saw was a white dress, with a white water flower skirt wrapped around the waist, a misty purple gossamer wrap around her wrists, a cascading hairstyle with a water jade orchid hairpin inserted in her hair. Eyes were expressive, a beauty that teases ones heart.
Beautiful, really too beautiful! The robbers hand touched the face of the girl crying on the ground but his eyes were staring straight at Lan You Nian, what looked suspiciously like drool spilled out the corner of his mouth.
Feng Yi Xuan was surrounded with a killing aura, gloom as hell. His exquisite face was truly terrifying, more stunning and dangerous than devils snare, he disliked any man looking at Nian Nian with such an obsessive and dirty expression. It makes him want to dig out his eyes. That was exactly what Feng Yi Xuan did.
Feng Yi Xuan slightly released the hand holding Lan You Nians hand, and came right in front of the robber in an instant, then directly dug out the robbers eyes.
Ah The robber rolled all over the ground in pain, Feng Yi Xuan disdainfully threw away the two eyeballs in his hands, epted the hankerchief An Yi handed him, carefully wiping away the blood on his hands, then as if nothing happened returned to Lan You Nians side but used the other clean hand to hold Lan You Nian while the hand that dug out the eyes were ced behind his back as to not touch Lan You Nian with it.
The head of the robbers fainted from pain, while the servant girl sitting on the ground helped up her young miss, and cowered into the side of their carriage, wanting to run but not daring to.
The other robbers were stunned by Feng Yi Xuans sudden move. They didnt expect this man didnt even utter a word and dug out the eyeballs of their leader, his cruel and bloody measures frightened them.
But the robbers werent stupid. They knew they kicknded on an iron panel, even if they begged for mercy it didnt look they they would have a change to live, then its better to charge, instantly all the robbers charged towards Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan, after all their status was clear to the group.
The robbers moved, Zhang Lin and the others also moved. The robbers were merely brute force, there was no martial arts at all, within moments, they have been ughtered with none left, only left with their corpse and the blood in the air.
Feng Yi Xuan saw the matter has been dealt with, was going to return to the carriage with Lan You Nian, but suddenly a voice sounded, This young master...
Feng Yi Xuans footsteps did not stop but Lan You Nian stopped to look at the woman who was supported by her servant girl. The yellow smoky brocade used five-colored gold threat embroidered into jasmine flowers in bloom, with a yellow phoenix tail skirt with a bunch of butterflies and flowers, a yellow gauze brocade wrap wrapped around her wrists. A delicate hairstyle with a hairstyle inserted in along with a dewy rose along the back. Although she received a scare but seemed even more graceful, her figure elegant. Now that women stared in infatuation at Feng Yi Xuan, the meaning was self-evident.
When she was helpless, this young master saved her. Since young, she has never seem such a handsome man before, handsome just like the storytellers said, and this man was very gentle with the woman beside him, so gentle it made her jealous.
On the other hand, Feng Yi Xuan didnt even look at that woman, rather, his pair of eyes were looking at Lan You Nian, as if no matter how much he looked it wont be enough, that pair of cold eyes emitted softness.
This little girl Yu Qing thanks young master for saving me! The woman curtsied, deliberately to attract Feng Yi Xuans attention, but she was disappointed for Feng Yi Xuan didnt even move, as if he didnt even hear her words.
Lan You Nian looked at the womans appearance with great interest, was very satisfied with Feng Yi Xuans performance. Lan Wu and Lan Wu already consider Ming wang as young misss husband, now that there was something who was trying to steal their young misss man, they were furious!
Where did young master save you, delusional! Because theyre outside, everyone called Feng Yi Xuan young master and Lan You Nian young miss.
How can you say this! My familys young miss is grateful for young masters life-saving grace, watch your mouth! The servant girl of the young miss named Yu Qing shouted at Lan Wu.
Yu Qing raised her eyes to look at Feng Yi Xuan, sharp cold face as like the sun god Apollo of Greek mythology, deep and enchanting eyes was cold as a frozen river, such a Feng Yi Xuan was enough to move a womans heart. But in the capital, Feng Yi Xuans reputation was too terrifying, many woman cherished their life more between the choices of men and life.
I have nothing to thank for the grace of life, this little girl wants to invite young master to my manor, this little girls father will definitely thank young master! Yu Qing said shyly. She liked this man, if this man saw her identity in the manor, he will definitely view her in a new light, this way she can be together with such a man.
How can there be such a shameless person in the world? An Yi, say, why did young master kill that robber? Lan Wu rode on therge horse, using the same voice as Yu Qing to ask An Yi.
Because that robber looked at Miss Lan! An Yi replied, this was the fact everyone saw.
Yu Qings face became slightly ugly, she didnt expect that this man really didnt want to save her in the beginning. He didnt kill the robber for her but if she left like this, she was unwilling. Since young, whatever she wanted, what wasnt she able to obtain, this man was the same.
No matter what, young master saved this girl, ask young master... Yu Qing continued to say, her tone contained gratitude and shyness.
Even Zhang Lin couldnt stand it anymore. If they couldnt tell the rtionship between young miss and Ming wang, then they were really blind. In their eyes, such a beautiful and smart young miss can only match with the cold and ruthless Ming wang, so saw this woman dared to covet, he couldnt stand it.
Do you want to repay with yourself? Zhang Lins face was already tanned dark, when he hardened his face, it was quite scary, the guards riding in the back also disdainfullyughed, Sorry, our young master isnt attracted to you!
Yeah, so ugly yet you dare toe out to scare people, we should hurry and leave! Lan Qu joined in the insults.
Yu Qing stood there like a small white flower swaying in the wind and rain, but it did not receive Feng Yi Xuans eyes, and the servant girls mouth couldnt dispute over Lan Wu and the others, she could only angrily cry.
Lan You Nian headed into the carriage, ignoring that woman who was being bullied by everyone. Feng Yi Xuan was even less likely to look at that woman. Before meeting Lan You Nian, there was no such thing as a woman in Feng Yi Xuans eyes. Now that he had Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuans world only existed of this female, Lan You Nian.
They didnt expect they would once again meet this woman in the future...
The group of people silently returned to the capital. Although Feng Yi Xuan wanted to enter Lan manor with Lan You Nian but he knew that there were a lot of memorials and documents piling up in Ming wang manor that required him to deal with. There definitely were some changes in the court while he was away, he must deal with them all one by one.
Feng Yi Xuan left An San with Lan You Nian for her to give orders to and returned to the manor. Originally many shadow guards were fighting over this chance to stay with Lan You Nian but Feng Yi Xuan only An San this woman wasnt a threat to him.
Lan You Nian entered You Nian Pavilion, looking at the seemingly different Lan manor, to Lan Qu, Go find out if there is a happy event in Lan manor recently!
Lan Qu left You Nian Pavilion. She still needed to find out if An yiniang was behaving herself while they were away and whether old madame was still tormented by the poison.
Although Lan manors buildings havent changed but there were clearly more decorative items. There were even a lot of potted flowers ced in the front hall. Usually Lan Jian Jun was martial arts practitioner so didnt like these things, so the entire Lan manor besides You Nian Pavilion was rtively simple and elegant but now Lan manor was clearly nning something so needed to decorate, and seeing how the servants were moving in some gifts, it was definitely for a banquet.
Young miss. Lan Qu walked in the Pavilion looking at Lan You Nian who wasying there. Whatever young miss did, it was always beautiful.
En... Lan You Nian didnt open ehr eyes, but the light sound showed she was not asleep,
In another month it is General Lans birthday, so the manor is arranging all the things needed! Lan Qu reported the things she found out to young miss, but her heart was extremely dissatisfied. Her young master has never celebrated a birthday, because on the day ofdys birth, it was young misss mothers day of death, so young miss all these years pretended as if she had no birthday. They didnt dare remind, afraid of causing young misss upset.
En, Lan manor will be lively! Lan You Nian softly said, dont know what she was feeling.
Young miss! Lan ren suddenly appeared in the pavilion, Fourth master will arrive to the capital in a few days, and second master has already departed from Sunset City, and will probably arrive in the capital soon!
Lan You Nian speechlessly touched her forehead. Although she missed these senior brothers but she can get out of this whirlpool that is the capital. If all her senior brothers came to the capital, who knew what a mess it would be. Her senior brothers often fought with each other, her quiet days will be over soon.
Now young miss wont be lonely! Lan Wu said happily, after all every time young miss was with the young masters she was very happy.
Lan You Nian smiled, fine, its impossible to tell her senior brothers to go back, they were quite capable themselves, and she will protect them, after all, they were the family in her heart.
Lan Ren, you and Lan Feng return to Wu Qing Pavilion, after all if the senior brothers, there isnt anyone to hold the fort! Lan You Nian instructed.
Young miss... Lan Ren said worriedly outside, Young misss poison every month is more and more unstable, if were all gone, there isnt anyone to protect oung miss, andst time...
How can Lan You Nian not understand his worry,st time if it wasnt at Zhen Wei Pavilion, something would have definitely gone wrong, fortunately when the poisoned awakened she was on her own territory, otherwise not only will reveal her weakness, will also became a deadly point for the enemy to attack her is she wasnt careful.
Rx, senior brothers are in the capital, there wont be any idents! Lan You Nian said, after all senior brothers were quite capable, they will definitely protect her, she felt very secure.
Yes! Lan Ren hearing the young miss say this, was also reassured, after all the several young masters and young miss were like real brothers and sisters, all these years they took great care of young miss, if the young masters were in the capital then young miss will be much safer.
Has something happened in the capital recently? Lan You Nian asked.
Nothing big has happened in the capital recently, but third wangye Feng Shao Chu because of deliberate murder was known by the Emperor, has now been imprisoned in his manor! Lan Ren replied.
Ai? Young miss, really weird! Its verymon for a wangye to kill someone, who knows how many people Ming wang has killed, but why would the Emperor imprison him for this? Lan Wu was puzzled.
Of course Feng Xia Qi must have done something, otherwise how could Feng Lin Che end up like this? Lan You Nian thought of Feng Yi Xuans older brother, clearly he was a fox, there was such a good excuse and weakness, how could he let this opportunity go? Sure enough, Feng Xia Qi didnt disappoint her and dealt with an opponent.
Oh? It seems that fourth wangye is very gentle but it turns out his ability in court is big! Lan Wu said incredulously.
You, dont be fooled by his face! Lan You Nian said.
A chuckle drifted in from the outside, Then has Nianer meimei been fooled by my face?
Chapter 113 - Jing Wu An is Poisoned
113 Jing Wu An is Poisoned
June 2, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Feng Xia Qis inky ck hair was raised, tied with a purple satin sash. He wore a dexterous purple outfit, a pair of purple boots, his facial features were attractive, skin white, he emitted a bookish charm, but that pair of fox eyes radiated brilliance, and following him Jing Wu An, attractive like a mountain ink painting pair of cool eyes, under the high and upright nose, thin lips turned upwards, a cold and conceited gaze was like a noble young master from a famous Jiangnan house.
Lan You Nian weed the two into the pavilion, and asked in surprise, What wind blew you two here?
Ai, if we donte, we wont know Nianer meimei was saying bad things about about your brother me behind my back Feng Xia Qi uttered with disatisfaction.
Lan You Nian sat opposite the two, brewing a cup of fragrant flower tea, instantly the room flooded with the aroma of the flower tea, causing Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An to blink their eyes in tandem with Lan You Nians action of brewing the tea, as if puppets, causing Lan Wu to burst intoughter.
~cough-cough~ Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An coughed and retracted their gaze. After all, one of them was a wangye, the other a noble heir, how can they show such an expression as if they have never seen the world for a cup of flower tea?
Putting the two cups of flower tea in front of Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An, Lan You Nian nced at Lan Wu, My servant girl is ignorant, ask the two brothers not to me!
Look at Nianer meimei talk, as if the two of us are very petty, we dont me the servant girlsughter, really is that Nianer meimeis brewing technique is better and better! Jing Wu An took a sip of the flower tea, there was a flowery fragrance along with the astringent taste of tea, making people unable to tear themselves away from it.
Some time ago, Lan Mo Xian was always mentioning Nianer meimeis flower tea in front of us, making him so proud! At first we didnt care but now that we tasted it ourselves, but now we know Lan Mo Xian wasnt speaking falsely! Feng Xia Qi nced at Jing Wu An, seeing Jing Wu An was also enjoying, he unconsciously raised his thumb at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian gave Lan Qu a look, after a while, Lan Qu brought two containers of things.
This is? Jing Wu An smiled but he knew the answer.
This is flower tea, since you two love drinking, then you can taste it in your own manor! After Lan You Nian finished, the two already took the flower tea into their hands, there was no modesty at all.
The two saw Lan You Nian unblinkingly looking at them, Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An chuckled in embarrassment, Feng Xia Qi said, Nianer meimeis gift is definitely good, rare ah!
Lan You Nian felt Feng Xia Qi was indeed thick skinned, nor did she tease him, only directly asked, The two brothers came today probably isnt for drinking tea, everyone is friends, just say whats the matter!
We can hide nothing from Nianer meimei, so young. How are you so smart? Feng Xia Qi asked vexed, probably only this younger brother of his canpare with Nianer meimei, the two seemed to have be demons.
Its like this, I know Nianer meimei must know Wu Qing Pavilions Young master Wu Qing, since you know young master Wu Qing then you must know Wu Qing Pavilions eldest young master, Master Gui Yi, Jing Wu An did not hide anything.
In reality, they concealed it from Feng Yi Xuan that they wereing today, after all if Feng Yi Xuan knew they were troubling Lan You Nian for some things, who knew how he will deal with them behind their backs. Jing Wu An can tell Feng Yi Xuans affection for Lan You Nian, Feng Xia Qi can also tell, after all Feng Yi Xuan did not conceal his different treatment of Lan You Nian.
En, I know, whos sick? Lan You Nian asked.
Me, Jing Wu An said, Ive been poisoned by someone, but the doctor cant cure it, so I came to trouble Nianer meimei!
Lan You Nian suddenly shot out her hand, arresting the pulse on Jing Wu Ans wrist. The sudden move made the the two shocked. They can tell the girl in front of them had martial arts, but to be able to hide from them right under their nose, was indeed amazing. They werent angry, after all, they never asked right?
Nianer meimei knows medicine?Jing Wu An didnt expect the girl in front of him to even have medical skills.
Lan You Nian carefully surveyed Jing Wu Ans pulse and noticed he really has been poisoned. It was a kind of poison that would impair a persons mind. The person who has this poison will gradually lose their memory power and the ability to distinguish between right and right will be worse, in the end, will probably end up with the intelligence of a child. It seems these people were afraid of Jing Wu Ans abilities, after all, he was Feng Yi Xuans right hand man, getting rid of him equals cutting off Feng Yi Xuans arm, really vicious idea! But now she has recognized this Feng Yi Xuan as one of her people, her mans affairs, Lan You Nian will take care of it.
Only just learned a smattering of medical skills! Lan You Nian prepared to take back her hand when suddenly her entire body was pulled over by one person.
Lan You Nian sighed in her heart, besides Feng Yi Xuan who else will so arrogantly treat her like this?
Feng Yi Xuan grabbed Lan You Nians hand, then took out a handkerchief to carefully rub Lan You Nians fingers, even the folds between her fingers were not missed.
Jing Wu An was angry, what poison was he? Was it necessary to be like this? It was just taking his pulse, not as if she touched something dirty!
Feng Xia Qi saw his younger brother embracing Lan You Nian in his arms, his actions were gentle as he cleaned the girls fingers, his eyes shed, his mouth was bitter, even his eyes seemed to be filled with bitterness.
At this time, Feng Yi Xuan waspletely jealous, his Nian Nian can only touch him, how can she touch other men besides him? No, women werent allowed either! Throwing a eye dagger at Jing Wu An, as if he wanted to cut off Jing Wu Ans hand.
You guys are? Jing Wu An asked directly, after all, the two, one was his bosom friend while the other was his little sister, more or less he really cared about the two.
Nian Nian is mine! Feng Yi Xuan answered and continued to wipe Lan You Nians hands but Jing Wu An and Feng Xia Qi heard Feng Yi Xuans meaning, that was the two have set their mind on one another. In some respects, they were happy for Feng Yi Xuan. After all Feng Yi Xuan so many years was solitary but now there was finally a female who can walk into his heart.
Lan You Nians mouth twitched, snatched back her hand, and talked about proper business,Brother Wu An, you have been poisoned by a reducing intelligence posion, you must be detoxified immediately!
What? Feng Xia Qi eximed, these people were really vicious, they dared to use such a poison on Jing Wu An.
Even Jing Wu An was taken aback. If he didnt have his clever mind, then...just thinking about it he felt scared.
Is it curable? Feng Yi Xuan asked, he knew Lan You Nian practices medicine, although he didnt know how her medical skills were.
There is! Lan You Nian nodded, But I cant cure it, lets go to Wu Qing Medical Hall, this way you can detoxify the poison as soon as possible, otherwise it will harm your body!
As the people discussed, they prepared to leave, Feng Xia Qi asked, But that Master Gui Yi isnt he not in the capital? It is very difficult to find him!
Lan You Nian get to answer, Feng Yi Xuan already said, Twenty days ago, he already returned to the capital! His intelligence system was perfect so as soon as Gui Yi entered the capital, he already received the news.
Lan You Nian was stunned. Older brother came into the capital very rarely and it was concealed very well, yet Feng Yi Xuan actually knew about it. This man was indeed powerful, fortunately this person not only wasnt the enemy but was her own man, otherwise it would be difficult for her. Lan You Nian smiled, she actually considered Feng Yi Xuan her own.
When the four arrived at Wu Qing Pavilion, they entered the third floor directly. Lan You Nian smiled as she knocked on the door. In a moment, Gui Yi opened the door, when he saw Lan You Nian, his lips curled into a smile.
Gui Yi weed them into the room. When he saw Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, and Jing Wu An, most importantly he carefully looked over Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan seemed to be very attractive, exquisite facial features, thick ck sword brows, high nose, deep ck eyes, clearly the man was exquisitely beautiful but due to the chilly and cold aura around him made other people think him to be reserved and difficult to get close to.
Gui Yi had to admit, this man whether it was looks or bearing was one of the best. He nodded at the few people then looked at Lan You Nian, Why are you here?
Lan You Nian pointed at Jing Wu An, Hes been poisoned, needs you to detoxify! Only at this time did she realize how muchcking her medical skills werepared to big brother. All these years, big brother has been concentrating on his medical skills. While she not only was learning medical skills but also exercises martial arts and run Wu Qing Pavilion as well. Now her medical skills cantpare to big brother at all.
Master Gui Yi, Jing Wu An greeted him, This one is Jing Wu An, ask Master Gui Yi help to detoxify!
Gui Yi returned his greeting, Since Nianer brought you here then were all friends. Theres no need to be so polite! Then he invited them to sit then took Jing Wu Ans pulse.
After a while, Gui Yi retracted his fingers, Young masters poison is no bother, wait for a moment for this one to prescribe young master medicine! Gui Yi nodded them then smiled at Lan You Nian, What do you want to eat?
No need, give him the antidote first, otherwise they will be worried! Lan You Nian smiled, big brother still regarded her as the little girl that couldnt speak in the past.
Gui Yi nodded and left the room, went into the inner room to prescribe the medicine, Feng Xia Qi saw Gui Yi left, curiously asked, This Master Gui Yi seems to treat Nianer meimei very well!
En, that Zhen Wei Pavilions third master, doesnt he treat Nianer meimei very well too? Jing Wu An felt Feng Xia Qi was making a fuss about nothing, after all such a girl like Nianer meimei probably everyone will consider her a little sister to pamper.
En, everyone treats me very well! Lan You Nian smiled warmly. When she first entered this world, it was shifu and the senior brothers who stayed beside her, taking care of her, helping her. They were her family, they were the people she wanted to protect.
I will treat you even better! Feng Yi Xuan said with dissatisfaction. He can tell that Gui Yi seemed to be a little different towards Nian Nian, different from that third masters treatment of Nian Nian but he can tell Nian Nian only had the respect of an older brother for this Master Gui Yi.
Lan You Nian smiled without saying anything, she believed Feng Yi Xuan, otherwise how would she ept Feng Yi Xuan?
Everyone waited for a while and then saw Gui Yi stepped out, and handed a porcin bottle to Jing Wu An, Three times a day, within ten days you can detoxify the poison.
Many thanks Master Gui Yi, may I ask... Jing Wu An was going to ask about how much the medical consultation was, after all, for Master Gui Yi to personally cure the poison required payment, this was the rule.
No need, you are Nianer friend, then you are I, Gui Yis friend! Gui Yi finished then handed another porcin bottle to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian ept it. This was probably the pills to suppress the pain of this month.
Chapter 114 - Birthday Banquet
114 Birthday Banquet
June 2, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Today, Lan Manor was already busy much earlier. All the servants were busying and going in preparation.
Father! Lan You Nian came much earlier to Lan Jian Juns courtyard to give his morning greets, Wish father a good birthday! Lan Mo Xian knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
When he was a young, he knew Lan Jian Jun. That time, Lan Jian Jun was fathers good friend, always bring his wife into his home to visit father, mother, and him. However he didnt expect father to die on the battlefield when he was five, mother died of sickness, leaving only him in the home. At that time, he was afraid, didnt know what to do. It was then father and mother weed him into Lan manor and he became Lan manors legitimate son, letting him have a home.
Mother was warm and beautiful, always taking good care of him, will make clothes for him and make him food, and when he did well, she will rub his head and praise him. although father was not good with words, a little serious, but he taught him to ride a horse, shoot with a bow and arrow, taught him martial arts, gradually he integrated into Lan manor, epting this pair of parents. The family of three were very happy even though there was An yiniang and her several children in the manor. Father was never concerned about them and mother was never bothered by them.
Later, mother was pregnant, he saw father and mother overjoyed in expectation of the child in mothers belly, at that time mother always warmly held him as she said, Mo Xian, you will now have a little sister, do you like?
There was only Lan Mo Xian this one child in Lan manor, so the little Lan Mo Xian was very eager for a soft and cute little sister. To the mother filled with motherly love under the sunlight, he said, Mother, son will protect little sister, will help her beat the bad guys!
At that time, father would chuckle, then pick him up, My son is capable! I will watch you protect your little sister!
En! Little Lan Mo Xian clenched his fists, nodding, answering very seriously, making mother and father very happy.
Later, Mother gave birth prematurely, the manor was in panic, he was with father standing outside the door listening to mothers screams anxiously.
None of them expected mother who was usually so fragile will fight for the child in her belly and give birth to little sister. When the child wailed, mother was just hanging by a thread.
Father and he stood by mothers bedside, mothers face was deathly pale as she said to father,Our daughter is called You Nian, You Nian...
The mama brought the just born Lan You Nian to mothers side, mother held the small infant, caressed the infants face, Mothers You Nian...
Xiao Ran... Lan Jian Jun was shaking as he held He Xiao Ran, He Xiao Rans lips smiled and died in Lan Jian Juns arms, and that still crying infant.
That was the first time Lan Mo Xian saw the firm and unyielding father shed tears, grief-stricken wanting to go with mother. At that time, he continued to stay beside father seeing fathers increasingly gloomy face.
Mothers death was a hug blow to father so to the just born Lan You Nian, father never asked about her, only gave little sister a courtyard and one of the best mama and guards, but he never went to see her. In the past he tried to let father care about little sister but all he received was fathers silence. He thought father really dint care about little sister, otherwise how can he treat Nianer meimei like this?
Afterwards, on a thunderous night, he was afraid the still just several years old Nianer meimei would be afraid, he anxiously dressed and headed towards You Nian PAvilion. He saw father standing in Nianer meimeis window looking at the deeply asleep Nianer meimei, the expression on his face was pain. That moment, he knew it wasnt that father didnt like Nianer meimei. One on hand, he liked Nianer meimei, on the other hand, he felt Nianer meimei killed Mother. Both were his loved one, he didnt how to face it.
Mo Xian? Lan Jian Jun raised Lan Mo Xian, asked in confusion, Whats wrong?
Its nothing, only remembered fathers care and teaching to son when I was young! Lan Mo Xian got up and sat beside Lan Jian Jun.
Lan Jian Jun seemed to remember the matters of the past and couldnt help feeling, You are my Lan Jian Juns son, dont care for you, dont teach you, who would I teach? He pped Lan Jian Juns shoulder.
Master, Miss Lan Qu from young misss courtyard asks for an audience! Uncle Lan walked into the room.
Let her in! Lan Jian Jun said. Today for his birthday he only wanted to eat a meal with his son and daughter but sitting in this position, how can he escape these entertainments? Today, hell probably have to apany these officials and nobles all day.
Lan Wu walked into the room and greeted Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian, then ced the box in her hands on the table.
General Lan, young miss isnt feelingfortable today so wont attend General Lans banquet so let this ervant bring the gift over, wish General Lan a good birthday! Lan Qu said and opened the box.
Inside the box was a rare jade ruyi, the color was crisp and clear, with one nce it was telling that it was a good jade, such a good thing was incredibly rare to see on the entire continent, but Lan Jian Jun just took one nce at it without any joy.
Lan Qu today was without her usual gentleness but revealed a dissatisfaction and resentment, seeing Lan Jian Jun didnt speak, Lan Qu curtsied, IF General Lan has nothing else, this servant will leave first!
You can go! Lan Jian Jun waved his hand allowing Lan Qu to leave.
Lan Jian Jun looked at the rare and incredibly valuable jade ruyi, and said to Lan Mo Xian, Father thought Nianer already started to ept father, it seems she still resents me!
Father..Lan Mo Xian didnt understand why Nianer meimei wont even show up to fathers birthday banquet, there was no benefit to her and will only lead to gossip.
Do you need son to go see her? Lan Mo Xian asked. Perhaps if he went, he can persuade Nianer meimei to appear at the birthday banquet, this way fathers birthday banquet will be much happier.
Lan Jian Jun put the jade ruyi in his room, no matter what daughter was thinking, this was daughters good will, it was a pity he couldnt eat a meal with daughter.
No need, if she isnt willing then let her be, father can only do this! Lan Jian Jun left the room. He still needed to take care of many affairs and see many people, how can he reveal his sadness.
Lan Mo Xian looked at the father who seemed to have aged and sighed, he didnt know what to do, fathers past treatment of Nianer meimei chilled peoples heart, not that Nianer meimei had a fire in her heart, it was deserved. He hoped one day father and Nianer meimeis rtionship will get better.
Because the banquet was in the afternoon, so the officials who were rtively close to Lan Jian Jun already brought their family members to Lan manor.
Lan Jian Jun stood at the front doors of Lan manor and was polite to every attendee of the banquet. Lan Mo Xian who was standing beside him greeted every guest who entered the manor. Lan Jian Jun couldnt help feeling if his daughter was with him, his birthday banquet was worth it, pity...
This old official greets fourth wangye, Ming wang! Lan Jian Jun greeted the people who entered the doorway, then to Jing Wu An, he chuckled, Heir Jing and junzhu are here!
General Lan! Jing Wu An and Hua Mu Qing gave proper greetings, and following behind them was Yu Liu Li who also showed courtesy, General Lan!
This is? Lan Jian Jun saw the extraordinary bearing Yu Liu Li and asked.
Father, he is worlds number one vi master Yu Liu Li, he is sons friend! Lan Mo xian exined.
Oh, it is Master Yu, please enter! Lan Jian Jun weed them into the manor.
Lan Mo Xian led them into Lan manor to take a look around, Hua Mu Qing couldnt help asking, Howe I dont see Nianer meimei? She tugged Lan Mo Xians elbow. Everyone knew their rtionship now, it was no longer strange.
You know father and Nianers rtionship, Im afraid she probably doesnt want toe out, just let her have time by herself! Lan Mo Xians tone was helpless.
Feng Yi xuans footstep instantly prepared to go to You Nian Pavilion to take a look but then he thought about the words Nian Nian told him yesterday. Last night he entered You Nian Pavilion and was chased out and Nian Nian even said, dont go to You Nian Pavilion these next few days.
Feng Yi Xuan could not listen to anyone but he couldnt not heed Lan You Nians words so he resisted the desire to see Nian Nian and followed Lan Mo Xian through Lan manor.
You guys are no fun, not even calling me together? He Chu Yang chased after the group, muttered in disatisfaction.
Lan Mo Xian was shocked, after all grandfathers personality he knew very well, there was no interaction for many years, Why are you here? Grandfather will definitely punish you!
Ai, It was grandfather who told me toe! He Chu Yang smiled, After all Nianer meimei is in Lan manor, no matter how angry grandfather is at gufu, he wont make things difficult for Nianer meimei. Oh right, howe I dont see Nianer meimei?
She isnt willing to attend, dont go bother her! Lan Mo Xian said, afraid todays banquet will make Nianer meimei unhappy.
It was almost noon, many guests have already arrived, Lan Jian Juns contacts in the court was very vast, many people came, even the Emperor personally gifted down some things into Lan manor, this was a great honor.
Several princesses and wangye also arrived, while from An manor came Prime Minister Ans son An Gong Jing.
Although An yiniang was a concubine, but there was no mistress of this Lan manor, so on such an assion, she was like Lan manors hostess chatting with everyone in the hall, showing that she was being favored.
Mother, Lan You Nian didnte! Lan Ya said to An yiniang. Today they prepared many ways to deal with Lan You Nian, but what if she didnte?
An yiniang scanned the banquet and didnt see Lan You Nian, even didnt see her at Lan Mo Xians table, she thought about it and understood. Master neglected that little slut so many years, how could she not resent in her heart?
An yiniang smiled at the noble matron beside her and lightly patted Lan Yas hand, lowered her voice and said, Dont panic, the legitimate daughter doesnt show up to the fathers birthday, what do you think her reputation will be?
Lan Yas eyes brightened, yeah, the current Emperor ced great importance on filial piety, if Lan You Nian didnt appear on the banquet, then it was unfilial, such an unfilial woman how is she worthy of being the legitimate daughter? Who would dare to marry a disfigured and unfilial woman?
Old madame sitting on master seating, hearing everyones ttery, she was very happy, nor did she see Lan You Nian so sighed in relief. Although she was already this age but she was more and more afraid of this Lan You Nian who hasnt yete of age. Every night her mouth hurt making her even more old.
Originally Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan must sit in the master seeting but the two didnt like the limelight so sit at the same table as Lan Mo Xian and the others. This let everyone see clearly the tworgest factions at court. One faction was the one with second wangye Feng Shao Chu, the other faction was Feng Yi Xuan.
Meanwhile, You Nian Pavilion was silent. Outside stood five men. The five when they stood in a crowd seemed like elegant young men were standing anxiously outside the pavilion.
Chapter 115 - Lan Mo Xian’s Marriage
115 Lan Mo Xians Marriage
June 3, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Master, Gui Wu took a day off from Ming army and left, An Yi appeared beside Feng Yi Xuan.
Where did he go? Feng Yi Xuan sipped the sake in his hand, listening to the noise in his ears, for some reason his heart was panicked apanied by slight pain.
He went to Miss Lans ce. Does subordinate drag him back? An Yi asked.
Feng Yi Xuan felt a pain in his heart, and exhaled a breath, No need! Nian Nian was probably in a bad mood. He can tell Nian Nian trusted this Gui Wu, letting him apany Nian Nian would be good.
Lan Jian Jun stood up and said to the crowd, This general thanks everyone for attending the banquet, today, this general will announce a happy event!
Everyone couldnt help being curious. They were only here to attend the banquet, nor did they receive any news. Now that General Lan said this, it seems this was already nned, dont know what the happy event was.
Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qings hearts tightened, more or less excited, Lan Mo Xian pulled Hua Mu Qings hand, cing it in his palms and smiled at Hua Mu Qing, giving Hua Mu Qing a great bit of courage and reassurance.
He Chu Yang and the others ambiguously looked at Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qin, their eyes full of blessings, after all these two people were their friend, seeing them together was a good thing.
Mo Xian, Mu Qing,e here! Lan Jian Jun waved to the two people. With one look, everyone more or less understood what was going on, but there were still plenty who didnt understand. After all, although junzhu had the identity of a junzhu, she did not have any power nor any backing. Her temper was also explosive. Any typical family wont even consider such a woman.
Lan Mo Xian held Hua Mu Qings hand as they came to Lan Jian Juns side, the man was handsome, the woman beautiful, it was truly a match.
My son and junzhu are fond of each other, so this general already asked the Emperor and agreed to the twos marriage, take advantage of today to tell everyone! Lan Jian Jun pped Lan Mo Xians shoulder,menting that time flew by so quickly. Within moments, whether it was sincere or insincere, everyone in the hall started to congratte Lan Jian Jun, but everyone knew the main object of today was the birthday banquet, so it wasnt overly much, just a few sounds of congrattions and then started to eat, the hall was in harmony.
Lan Jian Jun deliberately announced his sons and junzhus marriage. This junzhu was a pitiful child, he cant wrong her. Announcing it today can make everyone see the importance Lan manor ced on this marriage and the satisfaction with this daughter inw.
When Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing returned to their seats, Feng Xia Qi and the others picked up their wine cups and said, Congrattions for bringing home the beauty!
Lan Mo Xian was happy. The Emperor already expressed his will and with father announced the matter today, this marriage was now an iron-d thing. The woman beside him cant run in the future. She will be his wife.
Hua Mu Qings personality was bold, she was not as demure as other women, and also picked up the wine cup to drink with everyone.
Thanks for everyones blessings! Lan Mo Xian finished the wine in the cup and smiled at the others, then looked at Hua Mu Qing beside him, his eyes were full of affection, letting Hua Mu Qing such a thick-skinned woman blush.
Have the date been set? Jing Wu An asked. He didnt expect the first to marry was Lan Mo Xian.
Not yet, but father is in the process of picking a good date. There are still many things to do! Lan Mo Xian answered with eagerness for this marriage.
En, now that Lan manor is being monitored by many people, more or less you must be careful! Feng Xia Qi said with concern.
En, I know, Lan Mo Xian nodded, then to Hua Mu Qing, Now that you are my fiancee, you cant be like how you used to be!
The infinitely shy Hua Mu Qing smashed the wine cup on the table, ring at Lan Mo Xian, What was this junzhu like in the past?
Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, and the others all shook their heads. Even when the two be husband and wife, theyre still a quarrelsome couple, quarrel every day.
The atmosphere around the table was very good, but from the beginning to the end, Feng Yi Xuan didnt utter a word. For some reason, he felt something was about to happen. His body felt ufortable. He thought the thing he cared about most was Nian Nian, but Nian Nian was in You Nian Pavilion, so what was up with this difort in his heart?
Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to leave to see Nian Nian, but suddenly he remembered the wordsst night, if he went to find her these next two days, then she will ignore him.
Feng Yi Xuan made Nian Nian ept him with much difficulty. If right now their rtionship returned to the start, wouldnt he vomit to death? On this side, just as Feng Yi Xuan was inplete worry and anxiety, Lan Yins voice sounded. Feng Yi Xuans eyes suddenly brightened. If it wasnt him going to find her, instead, if he followed other people, then she wont ignore him, right?
Father, howe we dont see Nianer meimei? Lan Yin asked curiously.
After Lan Yin asked this, everyone finally noticed when the banquet was about to end that they didnt see the famed legitimate daughter Lan You Nian. They couldnt help their curiosity, where can the legitimate be if not at her fathers birthday banquet?
Oh? Third miss didnte? Howe? Usually, master loves third miss the most! An yiniang raised her voice.
Lan Mo Xian stood up, Nianer meimei didnt feel well today, this morning she already sent her gift to father! He didnt expect An yiniang would search for trouble in this regard, if this created distance between Nianer meimei and father, then in the future...
Oh? I didnt expect third miss to give General Lan a rare gift. May this wang have the fortune of seeing it? Feng Shao Chu asked, but the many people present didnt believe that Lan You Nian a female of the boudoir can send any kind of valuable gift.
Of course you can! Lan Jian Jun waved his hand at Uncle Lan. A whileter, Uncle Lan took out the gift Lan You Nian sent.
When Uncle opened the box, everyone was shocked. The color and luster of the jade ruyi in the box were very good, it was a rare jade, and the work was excellent. Probably not a lot of people can take out such a valuable item.
Lan third miss is really thoughtful! Everyone praised. After all, such an item was rare, and for a woman of the boudoir to obtain it, it was truly filial.
When Lan Jian Jun heard everyones praise, he felt a little bit better inside, even if daughter did not attend his birthday banquet, but at least she sent him a gift, it counts as a very good expression towards this father.
I didnt expect Nianer meimei can give such a valuable gift! Hua Mu Qing looked at the item in the box, then thought about her own gift, instantly felt there was noparison.
Such an item is really rare, although it is easy for us to obtain it, but for Nianer meimei, a woman who doesnt have any power, how can she get such a thing? He Chu Yang asked curiously, Arent you even a bit curious?
None of the people replied immediately. If they said they werent curious, then it wasnt possible. The years that Lan You Nian was missing for, they have sent people to investigate, but they found nothing. Isnt that strange? But how could they ask?
No matter where Nianer meimei was or what she experienced, she is my Lan Mo Xians little sister, this is her home! Lan Mo Xian sighed. Although he was very careless, he can sense little sistersck of feelings towards this Lan manor. He didnt know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Older brother, Nianer meimei got sick on such a day, it must be severe, how about letting Yaer go see? Lan Ya drew everyones attention from the jade ruyi, hated Lan You Nian once again was in the limelight. With her jade ruyi, whatever she gave wasnt worth looking at.
No need, Nianer meimei doesnt feelfortable and needs to rest in peace! Lan Mo Xian rejected. If other people knew Nianer meimei wasnt sick, that was bad.
Master! An yiniang frowned, pulling out her handkerchief to wipe away the tears that werent there, Third miss, that child, only reports good news not bad. For her to be sick today and to have found such a valuable gift for master. Now her body isnt feeling well, if this concubine doesnt go look at her, how can I feel at ease?
Lan Jian Juns heart felt stuffy. He thought of how usually everything daughter did was in consideration of everything, how wouldnt she show up on such an asion and purposely allow others to catch her weakness? This wasnt like his daughters usual style, unless...unless daughter is really sick! Lan Jian Jun felt he wasnt deserving of being a father. When he heard the maidservant say those things, he shouldnt overthink and just go take a look, but now if he went, and if daughter really isnt sick, then what should he do?
Yes, father, if third sister is really seriously sick, without anyone showing concern for her, who knows how upset third sister would be! Lan Ya said.
With this mention, everyone thought of that girl who lived a hard life. Many people know Lan You Nians Miss Miao Yins identity, more or less they were concerned so many people started to ask to see Lan You Nian.
General Lan, this banquet is almost over, Lan third miss is probably in difort, how about everyone go see her? Feng Shao Chu said. He now considered Lan manor as a thorn in his eye, as long it was attacking Lan manor, he was thrilled to do so.
With Feng Shao Chus words, many people were in agreement, making Lan Jian Jun bringing everyone to check on Lan You Nian. Lan Jian Jun found it hard to refute.
No one from Feng Xia Qis stood out to stop them. It wasnt that Lan Mo Xian didnt want to stop them. Instead, it was Ming wang at their table who didnt allow them to stop them. The moment he was prepared to stop them, An Yi appeared out in the open with a long sword. Although the others didnt see, he saw clearly. Ming wang was threatening him.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan was a little proud inside. This way, it was other people who wanted to go, not him wanting to go. Nian Nian definitely wont ignore him.
Lan Jian Jun was prepared to object, but Uncle Lan walked over to Lan Jian Jun and whispered in his ear, Master, young miss seems to be truly sick, it seems young misss maid is very anxious today!
As soon as Lan Jian Jun heard this, he was prepared to run over to You Nian Pavilion, but when he saw so many guests, he knew if he didnt let these people go to You Nian Pavilion to see, there would be gossip, Thank you everyone for your concern for my daughter. Then follow this general to take a look. But daughter likes quiet, please ask everyone to be considerate!
Everyone expressed that they could understand, Miss Miao Yins illness made many officials young masters and young misses worried for their idol, so everyone at the banquet headed towards You Nian Pavilion.
Chapter 116 - Discovering the Poison
116 Discovering the Poison
June 6, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Gui Yi and the other brothers stood outside the door just like how it was every month back in the Medical Valley. While their little junior sister was being tormented by the poison in the room, they can only guard her from outside the room, listening to her whimpers.
Lying in bed, Lan You Nians entire body was wracked with pain. She was in so much pain that she was curled up on herself. As if in a trance, Lan You Nian can even feel her soul was about to leave her body. There was no ce on her body that didnt hurt. That unbearable pain in her heart caused Lan You Nian to pick up the dagger and sh it across her arm.
However, the pain made Lan You Nian feel even fainter. Taking the knife, she cut herself again. Lan You Nians nails dug into the open wound on her arm. Only when the pain in her arm became too painful could it transfer the pain from her heart to physical pain.
The blood stained Lan You Nians white dress. The pain caused Lan You Nian to be in a cold sweat. Her face was scarily pale, but her mind was very much awake. This was all thanks to Gui Yis pills.
Zhang Lin saw a group of people heading towards You Nian Pavilion, instantly walked up to the pavilion and said to Lan Qu, Many people from the banquet are heading over here, Im afraid they want toe ! Zhang Lin and the others knew everything besides the fact that Lan You Nian was Master Wu Qing.
What? Gui Er roared, Little junior sister is so weak right now how can we let these peoplee in!? Ill go kill them!
Gui Er said this and was ready to charge out but was stopped by Gui San, Use your brain, dont make trouble for little junior sister. If killing people can solve the problem, why would little junior sister return here?
Perhaps there is something in her heart she cant let go of yet! Gui Yi answered. After all, this was little junior sisters home.
Then what should we do? Gui Ers tone wasnt good as he tugged at his long hair, both worried about the little junior sister in the room and angry at the people outside.
Which one of them werent worried? Because this poisonous was too strong, if they werent careful, it will lead to death, so every time Lan You Nians poison awakens, it was having walked back through the Gate of Hell. If she cant tough it out, then it was death. This kind of waiting made them all restless.
Well just guard here not allowing anyone to go in! Gui Wu huffed with his babyface. The babyface was no longer that white skin but has darkened a lot. Because of this Gui Yi and the others have teased him for a while.
That would only backfire Gui Si hardened his face without any expression, but the worry in his eyes was obvious, If we allow unrted people to know little junior sisters weakness, there will be trouble in the future!
Several young masters, this servant this the young masters should hide first! Lan Qu suggested, If there is someone who is ill intentions towards young miss, then young masters can appear. If theres nothing, its for the best. And young miss doesnt look like she wants to drag Medical Valley into the court matters!
Gui Yi and the others all knew Lan Qu has their little junior sisters trust and her words were reasonable. Although they wouldnt neglect little junior sisters problems nor were they afraid of the dirtiness of the court but their little junior sisters good intentions, they will not waste. Otherwise, if little junior sister knew who knew how worried she would be. After all, the pugilistic world and the court was still separate and shouldnt be connected.
Lan Qu suddenly fell down on her knees in front of Gui Yi and the others, This servant knows the young masters goodness towards young miss, but young miss also wishes to protect the young masters. Please ask the young masters to think twice...
Lan Qu was afraid Gui Yi and the others wont be able to stop themselves from killing those people outside. It wont only bring trouble to young miss, but it will also destroy all young misss hopes of protecting the young masters and Medical Valley. Then everything will be messed up.
Hearing the footsteps in the distance getting closer and closer, Gui Yi and others nced at the pavilion then looked at Lan Qu begging on the ground, and all hid themselves.
Lan Qu? Lan You Nian called to Lan Qu, her voice was too light as if there wasnt any, but Lan Qu heard it. Gui Yi and the others also heard it.
Young miss! Lan Qus sniffled as she walked into the pavilion, but only stood outside to wait.
Tell Zhang Lin, let them in! Lan You Nians voice filled with pain.
Although Lan Qu didnt want these people to disturb young miss but knew young miss had her own ideas. Besides, young miss was always stubborn. Shes afraid the more the people cant bear to see young miss living well, the more healthy young miss will appear in front of everyone. General! Zhang Lin greeted Lan Jian Jun.
En, is Nianer well? Lan Jian Jun gave Zhang Lin a look, if daughter wasnt sick, then it will provide him with preparation, so it wouldnt cause gossip.
Zhang Lin thought of what Lan Qu said to him, Replying to the general, young miss is only feeling a little difort!
Oh, since shes only ufortable, then I can be assured, Then looked at the crowd, Since daughter is fine, everyone shouldnt worry, lets go, apany this general to drink!
Lan Jian Jun couldnt be confident if daughter was ufortable or she simply wasnt willing to see him, but he will do as she wished. IF daughter didnt want to see him today, then he will leave. He will never do the same thing he did in the past.
Master, since weve alreadye, lets look at Third miss. Otherwise, this concubine wont feel at ease. How could everyone else be at ease? An yiniang said, unwilling to give in. She didnt believe that Lan You Nian was genuinely ill. How could there be such a coincidence? Although not everyone came, the young masters, young miss, and matrons who were in a good rtionship with Lan manor were all here, and there was several wangye, how can she let go of such a good opportunity?
Yeah, since we all came, we should go in and see her, otherwise how can everyone be at ease? A noble matron said. She wasnt someone from An yiniangs side, but she felt sympathetic for this pitiful girl. She felt Lan You Nian has never had a mother since she was little so there probably wasnt anyone to take care of her.
The group of people entered You Nian Pavilion. A pavilion right beside the water reflected the green pines and cypresses; fake mountain with jagged rocks, flower beds and flower pots, vines and bamboo, embellished within. Everyone thought as they followed Lan Jian Jun over that this ce was quite isted and You Nian Pavilion was just ordinary but didnt expect the scenery to be so beautiful.
Since this was a womans residence, everyone stayed in the courtyard to admire the beautiful view, didnt get closer to the pavilion.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu came down from the pavilion and greeted the crowd. Their manners were appropriate but not inferior, even noblerpared to manydies present. Everyone couldnt help but think highly of Lan You Nian.
General Lan, Lan Qu pretended to not know, Dont know why has everyonee to You Nian Pavilion?
Does master need a reason toe to third misss ce? Howe third misss servant girl doesnt know any manners? An yiniang rebuked.
Lan Qu didnt refute. Right now in their heart, they werepletely filled with worry about young misss poison, so towards such words, Lan Qu didnt put it to heart, nor was there her usual hot temper.
Third sister? Father and each wangye and young master heard third sister was feeling ufortable so specially came to see, why hasnt third sistere out? Lan Ya deliberately asked in shock, but her words were filled with the disdain towards Lan You Nians inappropriate behavior.
Young miss doesnt feel well today, this servant already told General Lan. What do you mean to ask this now? Lan Qu raised her head, asking. Lan Yas tone everyone understood.
What sickness can cause her not to get up? Then I want to go see third sister! Lan Ya said ready to go into the pavilion.
Everyone couldnt help be suspicious. After all, so many people came to see Lan You Nian, if she wasnt seriously ill, she shoulde out to greet them, otherwise isnt it disappointing everyones good intentions?
Ai, this third young misss temper is really strange, even if she isnt satisfied with the master, you, she cant refuse to see the guests An yiniang wanted to say more, but she saw Lan Jian Juns murderous eyes on her. An yiniang was certain if she continued on, Lan Jian Jun would kill her.
An yiniang couldnt help feeling pained. After so many years of being husband and wife, even just a little ndering of that slut wasnt allowed, no, she must let her own children obtain Lan manor, she wont let go of that Lan You Nian.
Young miss! Lan Wu and Lan Qu gave a shout. Everyone looked up and saw Lan You Nian walking out of the pavilion.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu hastily ran over to support Lan You Nian. They can detect the trembling of Lan You Nians body and the heavy scent of blood under the white cloak. Both of their eyes reddened but still helped Lan You Nian walk down the stairs of the pavilion.
Lan You Nian gave a greeting to everyone and Lan Jian Jun, Thank you, everyone, for your concern, this girl is infected with typhoid fever and is afraid of infecting others so, please excuse me!
Everyone saw Lan You Nians skin that was not covered up by the veil. It was unusually white, and there was cold sweat on her forehead. Then looking at the frail seemingly as if a gust of wind can blow her over, more or less everyone felt sympathetic and felt An yiniang was being too aggressive. The other person was being considerate, not wanting others to suffer the same illness. Howe this An yiniang doesnt believe?
Do you feel well? Do you need a doctor to take a look? Lan Jian Jun could tell that his daughter was really sick and asked with concern.
In the crowd, Feng Yi Xuans fist clenched. The hand was already starting to drip with blood. He didnt expect that Nian Nian was actually sick. Suddenly, he remembered thest time Nian Nian got ill, in this....
Thanks for everyones concern, today this girl doesnt feel well. Im afraid I cant entertain our guests! Lan You Nian curtsied, Today is General Lans birthday banquet. I hope everyones mood wont be disturbed by this girl!
Of course not! Everyone was understanding, Lan third miss stands for all woman, not only talented but highly cultured as well!
All varieties of praises rang in the courtyard. Gui Yi and the other broths hidden in the shadows started to desire to kill. Another person had the same desire, and that was Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan Jian Jun said to the crowd, Today thank you for giving face to this general anding, daughter is sick so I wont be apanying everyone. Uncle Lan, take everyone to wander around the manor! After all, the banquet is over so everyone can leave.
Everyone knew General Lan was worried, so they all left with Uncle Lan. Before they left, they still praised Lan You Nian.
Now You Nian Pavilion was only left with Lan You Nians friends and Lan Jian Jun. Lan Qu and Lan Wu instantly helped their young miss to return to the pavilion. Feng Yi Xuan was going to help Lan You Nian when Lan You Nian suddenly fell to the ground, spewing a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was shocked. Lan You Nians twin hands trembled as they took down the veil. Lan Jian Jun saw his daughters real face, but at this time he was worried about why Lan You Nian will vomit blood.
Feng Yi Xuan was going to pick up Lan You Nian when five men appeared in front of Lan You Nian. Gui Wu ran to Lan You Nians side and called worriedly, Little junior sister!
Meanwhile, Gui Yi and the others were also panicked as they shouted, Little junior sister! Gui Yi instantly picked up Lan You Nian. Everyone can see clearly Lan You Nians face was too pale, without any blood in her face. Her lips were already bitten until it was unbearable to look at.
Feng Yi Xuan went forward but was blocked by Gui Si, even Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing who wanted to get closer, Lan Qu and Lan Wu drew their swords and pointed at them.
Gui Yi took Lan You Nian into the pavilion, and then came out to join the others outside, refusing to let anyone enter.
Move! Feng Yi Xuan suddenly shot out his hand. He knew these people were Nian Nians senior brothers but thinking about Nian Nians appearance, he couldnt bear the pain in his heart.
Feng Yi Xuans held a simple long sword. His ink hair fluttered. As if a god facing Gui Yi and the others, his expression remained unchanged. Each technique was capable of taking their lives. On the handsome face, where his sword eyebrows met with his hair, there hung a drop of blood, like soul-stirring blooming spider lily, making his entire person full of demonic charm.
When Feng Xia Qi and the others saw Feng Yi Xuans movement, they too attacked Gui Er and the others. They were worried about Lan You Nian. Not to mention, if they didnt allow Feng Yi Xuan to see Lan You Nian, he probably will kill everyone here.
In You Nian Pavilion, you could only see several figures colliding with each other, the sounds of swords shing broke through the air, the surrounding trees copsed, even taking along the fluctuations of internal force, shocking Zhang Lin and the others into blood surging, this, was the showdown between masters!
Gui Yi and the others, although they had good martial arts, there were only a couple of them. Feng Yi Xuans martial arts were was very high, and An Yi and the rest of them already showed up. Within moments, Gui Yi and the others were forced onto the ground by Feng Yi Xuan, vomiting blood. Although Feng Yi Xuan was already going mad, he didnt cause them any life-threatening injuries. Lan Wu and Lan Qu were defeated by Lan Mo Xian.
Feng Yi Xuan shoved open You Nian Pavilions already demolished by the internal force door, then his entire body was frozen there. The people behind him were shocked frozen.
Chapter 117 - The Truth Behind the Poison
117 The Truth Behind the Poison
secretdreamwishes
Feng Yi Xuan felt he will never forget the scene in front of him in all his life. The Nian Nian who he thought of constantly in his heart was huddled on the cold hard ground in the outer room of the pavilion. The cloak she wore just moments ago was scattered on the ground beside on. And that cloak was stained with blood.
One of Lan You Nians arm was covered with long, short, deep, shallow knife wounds. Of the knew knife wounds, the flesh was already gaping open. The blood pooled on the ground. Lan You Nians face was deathly pale. Strands of long hair were wet with sweat, her entire body was trembling, and her eyes seemed distant as if she wasnt conscious.
Seeing such a Lan You Nian, it only made Feng Yi Xuans chest feel like there was a massive stone hammering against his heart, the bursts of pain came bit by bit.
Feng Yi Xuan trembled as he came to Lan You Nians side, taking the curled up Lan You Nian into his arms. It was such a simple action, but Feng Yi Xuan felt it was so strenuous, so strenuous that it made him want to destroy everything between heaven and earth.
Lan You Nian opened her eyes and saw she was wrapped up in Feng Yi Xuans arms. In all the years Lan You Nian has been suffering the poison, she has never uttered a sound but now in Feng Yi Xuans arms, unclear cries of pain forced out of her lips. This pain was more painful than the dislocation of ones bones. It was more painful than having ones tendons broken.
Feng Yi Xuan used his internal force to suck in Gui Yi from outside, harsh as ice, murderous madness, Save her!
In the pavilion, all of them saw Lan You Nian trembling in Feng Yi Xuans arms while Feng Yi Xuan who was holding Lan You Nian was so miserable he shook with her, and that pair of eyes already returned to their purple color.
Gui Yi stood in the same spot without any moment, only looking at Lan You Nian in Feng Yi Xuans arms. He still remembered the first time little junior sisters poison awakened. At that time, she was in so much pain she fainted. After that time, to cure the poison, it was necessary to soak in all kinds of medicinal baths that made one wish to die. But from beginning to end, little junior sister never uttered a sound. But little junior sister unloaded all her disguise of strength and curled up in Feng Yi Xuans arms and knew to pronounce her pain. Perhaps this man really can bring happiness to little junior sister.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Gui Yi didnt answer nor did he make an attempt to lend a hand, he raised his palm to kill Gui Yi. Gui Yi didnt move because he too was distressed for such a frail junior sister. He didnt expect that after he studied medicine for so many years, he couldnt even save the person he cared about most.
Lan You Nian trembled as she covered Feng Yi Xuans palm that was ready to attack. Because of the wounds on her arm, Lan You Nians small white hands were bloody, strangely enchanting.
Feng Yi Xuan retracted the internal force in his palm and held Lan You Nians small bloody hand. He can feel the girls cold body temperature and her breathing unsteadily due to the pain and the shaking due to the pain. Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart was being stabbed by someone with a knife. Otherwise, how could he feel Nian Nians pain?
I. Am fine! Lan You Nians broken voice rasped. Because of speaking, a trace of blood ran down the corner of her mouth. That was because Lan You Nian bit open her mouth from the pain.
Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to transfer his internal force to Lan You Nian to ease her pain, but Gui Yi rushed to stop him, You cant! Her body right now cant stand anyones internal force!
A heavy pressure gradually spread in the pavilion. The dark aura surrounding Feng Yi Xuan became even colder as if to freeze this whole earth. In the depths of his eyes was ignited a cluster of fire as if it was going to burn the entire sky. However, his movement was still as gentle as ever as he held the girl in his arms.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian. He ced his palm right beside Lan You Nians mouth, not letting Lan You Nian bite her own lips. Lan You Nian wasnt entirely conscious due to the pain as she bit down on Feng Yi Xuans palm. Within seconds, Feng Yi Xuans palm has been bitten with many wounds. There were some of the flesh that was nearly bitten off. Feng Yi Xuan showed no know, only looked at Lan You Nian with distress.
Throughout the pavilion, one can only see the handsome but aloof man shaking as he sat on the cold ground, holding the pitiful and frail girl. Beside them, either stood or sat many of their friends, none of whom werent worried as they watched the girl within the mans arms.
Lan You Nian can feel the pain was slowly dissipating. She knew that she has ovee this poison once again, enduring fromst night till today. Perhaps because of this persons presence, Lan You Nian felt her usually cold body temperature was much warmer.
The night came quietly. The trembling of Lan You Nians body gradually stopped. That pair of eyes that were misty from the pain slowly fluttered open.
The moment Lan You Nian opened her eyes, she saw Feng Yi Xuan was still looking unparalleled, but those pair of purple eyes were tinted with red, his eyebrows were tightly knitted together. When they saw her open her eyes, they shed with pleasant surprise. The faint voice was still a bit cold but was filled with deep feelings and deep pampering, pity and indulgence towards her, Nian Nian?
Hearing Feng Yi Xuan calling her name, Lan You Nian wanted to touch Feng Yi Xuans face but realized she couldnt even lift her hand. She could only tug the corner of lips, but that move only pulled at the wounds on her lips.
Lan Qu.. Lan You Nian only called out Lan Qus name and then weakly closed her eyes. Although she didnt faint, she no longer had the energy to keep her eyes open.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu only stopped a few steps away from Feng Yi Xuan, Ming wang, young miss needs to bathe. The wound needs medicine. Please ask Ming wang to bring miss into the room!
Today, they not only saw young miss once again suffering from the pain of the poison, but they also saw young miss admitting to this mans love for her. They can sense this mans shaking body and pained eyes when young miss was in pain and that desire to destroy everything.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into the inner chamber. Besides Lan Wu and Lan Qu left to serve, everyone left the pavilion and into the courtyard to sit.
Gui Yi gave Gui Er and the others each a pill to repair any internal injuries. After all, Feng Yi Xuan had the intention of killing them. If he werent giving consideration to little junior sister, they probably would have died in Feng Yi Xuans hands.
Lan Jian Juns was still shocked by the appearance of his daughter suffering from the poison. How could he have imagined that his daughter was suffering such hardship?
Hua Mu Qings tears kept flowing down. She looked at the Nianer meimei who always acted so carefree was in so much pain as sheid there, yet she couldnt help with anything at all.
Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, Yu Liu Li, and He Chu Yang were also distressed. They can tell Lan You Nians pain, such a girl had to suffer these, how could the heavens be so cruel?
Lan Mo Xians fist mmed into the stone pir, he scorned himself more and more, he wasnt able to protect Nianer meimei, he...
You are? Although Lan Jian Jun was pained inside, what he needed to do right now was to cure his daughter, so he first asked Gui Yi and the others.
We are Gui Yi, Gui Er, Gui San, Gui Si, Gui Wu, the disciples of Gui Yi Zi. Nianer is our little junior sister! Gui San knew that some things couldnt be hidden. From their utterance of little junior sister, it could no longer be hidden.
So Nianer meimei is Gui Yi Zis disciple, no wonder Master Gui Yi will cure my poison for Nianer meimei! Jing Wu An suddenly understood some things he didnt understand before.
How is Nian Nian now? Feng Yi Xuan didnt care about anything else, he only cared about Nian Nians body. He didnt want to see Nian Nian in pain.
With Feng Yi Xuans question, everyone looked to Gui Yi and the others, hoping Gui Yi can answer them. After all, from what Lan You Nians appearance, it wasnt as simple as an illness.
Gui Yi and the others didnt utter a word. If little junior sister didnt want other people to know, then they wont say it. They respected little junior sisters choices and actions.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt have the patience to waste time with Gui Yi and the others, so he readily attacked Gui Yi and the rest of them. Gui Yi and the others were already injured so found it difficult to defend against Feng Yi Xuans attack.
However, at this time, a white-haired old man jumped out and blocked Feng Yi Xuans attack, and roared, Good rascal!
Everyone saw a hale and heart, his back straight, his eyes shing brightly white-haired elder standing in front of Gui Yi and the others.
Shifu! Lan You Nian stood on the balcony of the pavilion, her voice carrying a unique spoiled tone.
Feng Yi Xuan instantly flew up and pulled Lan You Nian into his arms. He looked over Lan You Nian and saw Lan You Nian was still looking thin and weak, so he carried Lan You Nian back into the pavilion.
Xiao Nian Nian! Gui Yi Zi shouted then flew into the pavilion, and the others followed suit.
Shifu! Gui Yi and the rest of the brothers shouted in unison. They didnt expect shifu toe to the capital. It was most likely due to little junior sister.
Gui Yi Zi meticulously took Lan You Nians pulse, then pped Gui Yis shoulder who was closest to him, How do you take care of Xiao Nian Nian? Why has she be so thin?
Lan You Nian was still being held by Feng Yi Xuan, but the smile on her lips was gentle, Brothers treat me very well, shifu, dont be biased!
Ai! Gui Yi Zi stroked Lan You Nians hair, his voice carrying the benevolence of an elder, Xiao Nian Nian, does it still hurt?
En, its fine! Lan You Nian said, seemingly tired as she leaned against Feng Yi Xuans chest.
Feng Yi Xuan took the fur nket Lan Qu handed over and wrapped up Lan You Nians entire body in it. It was clearly summer, yet the girl in his arms was still cold.
What do you want to know? I am Xiao Nian Nians shifu, you can ask me! Gui Yi Zi looked at everyone, those eyes that have been sharpened by time were still astute and sharp des as they directed on the people in front of him, his voice carried an overt oppression.
Whats wrong with Nianer? Lan Jian Jun asked anxiously. As a father, he only hoped that his daughter was healthy and well.
Gui Yi Zi looked at Lan Jian Jun, there was a hint of anger in his voice, You are Lan Jian Jun? What qualifications do you have to ask? Gui Yi Zi saw Lan Jian Juns guilt, and continued, Do you know how much this old man wants to kill you?
Lan Mo Xian saw his fathers miserable look, his heart felt ufortable, and said to Gui Yi Zi, Elder, father already regrets, father...
Gui Yi Zi interrupted Lan Mo Xians words, Regret? Do you know what Xiao Nian Nian was like when I found her?
Shifu? Lan You Nian asked unsurely. She knew shifu wants toy down all his cards today. If shifu intends to do this, she wont stop him. She knew shifu only grieved for her.
Gui Yi Zi did not answer Lan You Nian like usual, his eyes were like torches looking upon Lan Jian Jun, When I found Xiao Nian Nian, she was buried in the snow for many days. She almost wasnt breathing. Such an adorable child was thin as a rack of bones. She had fallen off a cliff, and her body was entirely covered with wounds. Do you know what this old man saw when I took her back to Medical Valley? Everywhere, it was whip marks, so thin that it wasnt like a body of an eight-year-old child at all. There were even bruises showing abuse! Even worse, such a small childs body was littered with dozens of poisons!
Gui Yi Zis words made the entire You Nian Pavilion silent, and that Lan Jian Jun who never showed weakness in front of outsiders, was red-eyed as he muttered, Its all my fault! Its all my fault!
Hmph! Gui Yi Zi could tell Lan Jian Jun was truly feeling guilty so he did not continue to make trouble as he stopped talking. After all, this person was Xiao Nian Nians father, more or less, show some restraint!
Elder, then whats wrong with Nianer meimeis body? Lan Mo Xianforted his father as he asked with concern.
Nian Nian is poisoned! Gui Yi Zi didnt conceal the truth but directly answered.
Isnt elder Gui Yi Zi? Dont you have any ideas? Hua Mu Qing asked, hearing the past Gui Yi Zi spoke of, she felt more heartache for Nianer meimei.
Gui Yi Zi sighed, looking at Lan You Nian in Feng Yi Xuans arms, If this old man had a way, how would Xiao Nian Nian still be suffering so much?
What are the symptoms of the poison? Feng Yi Xuansshes were like a pair of wings above the pair of purple eyes, so deep it made others cower.
Gui San nced at little junior sister didnt interfere and knew little junior sister wont conceal it from Feng Yi Xuan. It seems this person was different in little junior sisters heart, This poison is derived from the dozens of poisons little junior sister had since childhood. Every month the poison awakens once. When the poison awakens, a bloodsucking pain, even more painful than snapping a tendon and shattering bone. Each time the poison awakens, if she cant ovee it, then it means death!
Feng Yi Xuans deep purple eyes were like deep pools, any object that touched it would drown, making people unable to see the images hidden within its bottomless depths. His arms holding Lan You Nian were shaking, but it was even more firm. He wont let Nian Nian leave him.
It was the second time Lan Mo Xian saw his father shed tears. He saw fathers eyes filled with tears looking at Nianer meimei, his eyes were the guilt that med himself to death.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the room was so grave, Lan You Nian leaned against Feng Yi Xuans chest, lifted her heard to look at Feng Yi Xuan who was looking down at her. Lan You Nians eyes, ck and white in sharp contrast, were clean and bright as if they can illuminate their hearts.
I wont die so easily, no need to worry! Lan You Nians words were directed at Feng Yi Xuan as well to everyone else.
Under the candlelight, Feng Yi Xuans body was straight, the cold and sharp face slowly warmed, thin lips curved, eyes gradually filled with a smile. Looking into her eyes, his words gentle and warm, like a river slowly flowing over her heart, I wont let anything happen to you. Wherever you are, I will be with you!
Chapter 118 - Everyone’s Heartache
118 Everyones Heartache
secretdreamwishes
Fall asleep? Feng Xia Qi and the others sat in the cold and silent courtyard of You Nian Pavilion, asking Feng Yi Xuan who just came out of the pavilion.
En! Feng Yi Xuan sat down. At first, he wanted to watch Nian Nian rest but thinking that everyone was here and that he still had some questions to ask, so he came out.
Gui Yi Zi already left. It seems he went to Zhen Wei Pavilion to find something good to eat. At this time, in the courtyard, there were only Gui Yi and the other brothers, as well as Feng Yi Xuan and the rest of them. Lan Jian Jun did not leave. The only thing he wanted to do was to know more about his daughter, so he can make up for the past.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes were deep pools, gathering thousands of huge waves. Those bottomless depths looked at Gui Yi and the other brothers, the intention was self-exnatory. He wanted to know about the pain Lan You Nian suffered in the past.
Gui San took a drink from the gon and began to recall the past, Shifu found little junior sister in the snow under a cliff. At that time, I only thought this little girl was really pitiful, so young yet shes been thrown down this cliff with so many grave injuries as well as suffering from so many poisons!
Do you guys know? Gui Er seemed to be a little drunk as he shouted, Little junior sister never uttered a word for half a year, even when suffering from poison, even when she was ced into the medicinal bath by shifu to cure the poison, she didnt utter a sound. We even thought little junior sister was mute!
How could this be? Lan Mo Xian mumbled with pain. His little sister actually wouldnt talk for a while. Just what painful things has she encountered that she couldnt even speak?
The table of people picked up their wine cups and started to drink alcohol. They all felt distressed for this slumbering girl. In their hearts, they silently told themselves they must protect this girl.
Then what happenedter? How did Nianer meimei talk? Hua Mu Qing looked at Gui Yi and the others with tears running down her cheeks, her hands gripping onto Lan Mo Xians clothes, afraid she will cry out loud. She always thought she was the most pitiful, without her parents protection, but now she knew, in this world, there were so many painful things pressed against Nianer meimei, what cruel things, how can such a small girl endure it?
Afterwards? Gui Siughed, putting down the wine cup and gazed at the bright moon in the sky. He seemed to reminisce about something, In a heavily raining night, little junior sister had a nightmare that made her scream and suddenly run into the rain...
Gui Si seemed to remember his past heartache and didnt know how to continue, gulped down a mouthful of wine as he continued, Such a small child standing in the rain,ughing out loud, thatugh made people feel heartache. We would rather little junior sister will cry, but even as she madlyughed in the rain, she didnt shed a single tear.
That was the first time little junior sister started to speak in six months. The first thing she said was calling shifu. Gui Wu remembered the past, a smile was on his lips though it was sad, I think, for little junior sister, shifu is like her grandfather who protects her, so she will speak!
No, for Nianer meimei to speak, its because of all your love. For Nianer meimei, you guys are very important to her! Jing Wu An analyzed. He really didnt expect such a smart and wise girl will have such a past.
Fortunately Nianer meimei met you brothers, otherwise... He Chu Yang said with fear of what might have been. If Nianer meimei didnt meet Gui Yi Zi, didnt meet Gui Yi and the others, there probably wont exist a girl named Lan You Nian in the world.
It should be us who are fortunate to have such a little sister. Ever since little junior sister came, the Medical Valley is a lot more fun. We have a different lifestyle! Gui San said, holding his folding fan. If they didnt meet little junior sister, they would always be studying those flowers and nts in the Medical Valley all their lives. How would they be able to do things they liked to do? Experiencing a different life.
Then her poison? said Lan Jian Jun who hasnt spoken for a long time. His already aged face became even more aged, his white hairs have also increased in a night, those wise eyes were already bloodshot, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Little junior sisters poison is derived from the many poisons on her body. Shifu has studied this poison for many years and was only able to prepare half the antidote Gui Yis gaze was a bit bleak. He who usually didnt touch wine at all drank a few cups. Because of little junior sisters poison, it made them senior brothers all helpless, made them feel miserable and helpless.
This poison awakens once every month, every time this poison is heart-wretching painful. Little junior sister must survive each time, otherwise... Gui Yi didnt say the words die, but everyone present knew Gui Yis meaning.
How has Nian Nian lived through it for so many years? Feng Yi Xuans purple eyes were as cold as the ice that never melts in a thousand years, chillingly frigid, the killing intent in his eyes was like endless streams of rivers, little by little gathering into the vast sea.
Gui Si nced at Feng Yi Xuan. Now they have this man who is probably the man little junior sister liked. They had to say little junior sisters eyes were really good. This person, no matter what aspect, he was the best, he was just a bit too cold.
En, for many years, little junior sister always grits her teeth and goes through the poison again and again Gui Si looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Little junior sister has a much more difficult time than anyone!
Nianer meimei has spent her years like this in the Medical Valley? Yu Liu Li frowned. He didnt expect that there was such a woman in the world, encountering such a tormenting pain yet was still as strong as ever. He had to say he admired as well as felt heartache for this little sister.
Gui Wu shook his head, Dont you know little junior sister is Miss Miao Yin? Little junior sister has been wandering for years!
Shes so young, you guys dont follow her to protect her? Feng Xia Qi said with slight distress, that girl, how can that girl not make others feel heartache for her? Letting him who always indifferent to everyone else feel anguish for her. He will use his greatest ability to protect this girl, protect her happiness.
Why wouldnt we want to follow little junior sister to protect her? But little junior sisters temper, you guys know. If she isnt willing, what can we do? Gui Er was angry as he said this, So little junior sister wandered outside for many years, every time shees back, she is always injured!
Pa~! The wine cup Feng Yi Xuan held in his hand was ground into powder, trickling down through his fingers, but this cant eliminate the pain in his heart.
You like little junior sister? Gui Yi asked Feng Yi Xuan. The paper window between them wasnt broken (idiom: everyone might know the truth, but no one ever said it out loud). When Lan Jian Jun and the others heard Gui Yis words, they all looked at Feng Yi Xuan.
Not like, its love! Feng Yi Xuans voice was still cold, but when talking about Lan You Nian, there was a special kind of gentleness.
Gui Yi reached out a hand, prepared to p Feng Yi Xians shoulder. Feng Yi Xuans body shifted, ready to leave but remembering that these people protected Nian Nian, made Nian Nian safe, Feng Yi Xuan didnt move, letting Gui Yis palm to smack against his shoulder. This was a handing over of responsibility between men.
I can tell little junior sister is different with you, Gui Yi said with joy. Even though he always hoped the man in little junior sisters heart is him, but as long as little junior sister was happy, it didnt matter who it was.
There is something hidden in little junior sister. It is something still very painful. I think that those things are even more upsetting for little junior sister than the physical pain of the poison! Gui Yi revealed all he knew to Feng Yi Xuan. He hoped this man can guard by little junior sisters side.
What do you know? Feng Yi Xuan asked, but there was no hostility in his tone.
I only know little junior sister has nightmares very often. I dont know what her nightmare is for it to torment her for so many years. I know when little junior sister wakes up, there is something wrong with her. That is a kind of destion from deep within the bones Gui Yi nced in the direction of the pavilion, But I can tell little junior sister is much happier with you, so...
I understand! Feng Yi Xuan finished and flew into the pavilion, leaving a table of people with different thoughts but equally worried.
Gui Yi and the others nced at the pavilion and left one by one. Gui Wu headed towards Ming army. After all, he only took a day off. It was time to go back.
Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing supported Lan Jian Jun who almost couldnt walk back to his courtyard.
Feng Xia Qi and He Chu Yang respectively returned to their own manors. The happenings of tonight made them lose sleep until dawn.
Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li left, heading towards Xiao Jin Pavilion. Tonight, they must have a good drink, for that girl who made peoples heart ache.
When Feng Yi Xuan returned to the pavilion, he headed towards the bedside and sat down, looking at Lan You Nian who wasying there. She was lying there quietly, but that bearing that was pure and graceful, without a stain of dust, so otherworldly made anyone who saw her hold their breath, afraid she was just a beautiful illusion of their hearts.
Thinking that in a situation he didnt know about, in a ce he couldnt see, Nian Nian suffered so much hardship, Feng Yi Xuan felt heartache, as if his whole heart was being gripped by someone, painfully drilling into his heart.
Finished discussing? Lan You Nian opened her eyes with a smile. Although every time her poison awakens, she was frail, but her vignce hasnt disappeared.
En, Feng Yi Xuan took off his outer coat and plunged into the nkets to pull Lan You Nian into his arms as if his chest was born for this girl, so it would fit so perfectly.
Feng Yi Xuannded a kiss on Lan You Nians neck, gently with deep affection, a heart-aching tone Sorry!
Sorry, I didnt meet you earlier to protect you. Sorry, I wasnt with you when you were in pain. Sorry, I let you suffer so much.
Lan You Nian deeply breathed in Feng Yi Xuans scent and felt at peace. She knew Feng Yi Xuans meaning, but she was even more touched by his love. Perhaps she really liked and is proud of this man, she liked him more than she even thought she did. Otherwise, how could she start to rely on him? She felt this broad embrace had a calming effect as if this stable embrace can block all the wind and rain, can also block hidden arrows and spears, even when the winds change, and the heavens fell, there was no need to be afraid.
Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuans unparalleled face getting near her, the next moment, thin as de lips fell on her lips, like a peerless painter, meticulously depicting her lips, an unprecedented warmth that made Lan You Nian forget even the wound on her lips for a moment.
Feng Yi Xuan did not deepen the kiss, only licked the wound on Lan You Nians lips, an unprecedented heartache and sincerity, making Lan You Nians cold heart as warm as spring.
Lan You Nian stretched out the arm that wasnt injured and wrapped around Feng Yi Xuans neck, returning Feng Yi Xuans kiss. She can feel Feng Yi Xuan was shocked, then happily crinkled his eyes.
After a kiss, Feng Yi Xuan smoothed Lan You Nians breathing. His forehead leaned against Lan You Nians forehead, said firmly, I wont let you leave me.
Good! Lan You Nian replied. If she really can cure the poison, then how nice would it be to be with this man.
Late into the night, Lan Jian Juns courtyard was still brightly lit. Lan Jian Jun sat in the room by himself drinking. As a father, he felt a heartache he never felt before. He didnt expect that his daughter suffered so much because of his negligence. At this moment, he decided no matter what daughter wanted to do, he will support her no matter what. Anything else wasnt important anymore.
Mo Xian, uncle* he... Hua Mu Qing murmured worriedly.
Ai, theres no use if we go in, Lan Mo Xian held Hua Mu Qings hand, As an older brother, Im so useless!
No, Mo Xian, as long as you take good care of Nianer meimei in the future, we will all protect Nianer meimei! Hua Mu Qing said.
Alright!
*Uncle as HMQ calls LJJ is a general term that you called an man of your parents generation; this title usually implies that you know this person rather than a greeting to a stranger (differentiation isnt relevant to the plot so I left is simply as uncle)
Chapter 119 - Seeing a Good Show
119 Seeing a Good Show
secretdreamwishes
Mother, please save your son! Lan Yin fell to his knees at An yiniangs feet begging.
An yiniang looked at her only son, her heart was both angry and distressed. All her hopes were now all on this son. So when she knew Lan Yin went to the gambling house, she didnt think too much about it. In the capital, quite a few of the young masters had some bad habits, either it was being lustful or an alcoholic, or it was a gambling addiction. She thought Lan Yin was just making small bets. After all, how much money her son has, she knew very well. She didnt expect Lan Yins guts to be so big!
Tell me, how can I save you? You borrowed so much money, how can I repay? An yiniang hated iron for not turning into steel.
Mother, mother, think of an idea. Otherwise, those people will really cut off sons hands! Lan Yin cried, snot running down his nose and tears flowing down his face, looking at An yiniang with fear.
How can An yiniang not care for her child? Lan Yin wasnt a daughter but a son. No matter what, she must save this son. Otherwise, what status would she have in Lan manor? There wouldnt be anything to look forward to in the future.
Fine, dont leave the manor for a few days, Ill think of a way, those people wouldnt dare to barge into Lan manor! An yiniang said. After all, Lan manors prestige was right there, not just anyone can barge in, as long as Lan Yin doesnt go out for a while, the money problem she will slowly take care of.
Son understands, son will behave! Lan Yin climbed up, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him borrowing so much money. He was Lan manors young master, after all, the Prime Ministers grandson, would these people really cut off his hands?
An yiniang looked at her disappointment of a son helplessly. Her son really didnt inherit any virtues of Lan Jian Jun. Only she can make ns for him.
In the next few days, An yiniang will go out to figure out a way to collect the money. But this much money isnt a small amount, how can she easily gather this?
An yiniang went to her maiden family, Prime Minister manor to borrow some money but came back with empty hands. Ever since An Ping was killed by Lan Zhi, she, this daughter has be an unfavored sacrificial piece of Prime Minister Manor. IT was only because she was Lan Jian Juns concubine that she hasnt beenpletely abandoned. Why would they be willing to spend so much money on a Lan Yin?
Coming out from Prime Minister Manor, An yiniang felt everything was so hypocritical. Her father and older brother were like this. What did her nephews death have to do with her? She only became the object they vented their anger on.
An yiniang thought of the son who was still hiding in the manor from his debtors and felt exhausted. She didnt know when she has be from the morous mistress of Lan manor to everything not going well. When did it start? It was about the time Lan You Nian returned to the manor. Shes really an unlucky star!
An yiniang had Lan Ya enter the pce to find her older sister Empress An. As the Empress of a country, a few thousand silvers wasnt anything. Empress An had her own power in the Imperial Pce. Who knew how much money she had in her hands. But what disappointed An yiniang was Lan Ya returned empty-handed.
Mother, Empress Aunt declined many times. Im afraid she doesnt care about older brothers life and death! Lan Ya said bitterly. Every time the Empress had a use for them, it only took a word for them to do as she says, but now somethings happened to them, no one was willing to help, it really chilled peoples hearts.
Yeah, for father and older sister, we are just a useless chess piece now, An yiniangid paralyzed on the couch, her face was much more haggard, But we cantin. Its fine if An manor doesnt have us, but if we dont have An manor this backing, then there is nothing left!
Lan Ya thought for a long time and then said to An yiniang, Mother, lets ask father! Older brother no matter what is Fathers only biological son. No matter how cruel father is, he wont be apathetic! Its only money that is needed to solve it so father will definitely save older brother!
An yiniang froze. All these days, it wasnt that she didnt think about going to Lan Jian Jun but thinking about his disregard for her and the children, An yiniang didnt have any assurance. The man she fell in love with gave all his tenderness to the dead He Xiao Ran and Lan You Nian. He probably didnt care about the life and death of her and her children.
An yiniang approached an Jian Juns primary residence. This was the first time she was going to enter this courtyard. She wasnt allowed to approach this courtyard in the past. She didnt even enter the main courtyard before she was blocked by the guards.
An yiniangs face was ugly. No matter what, she was the only woman in the manor. Now even a small guard dared to direct his de at her?
I want to see master! An yiniang thought of the son who was still waiting for her, and tried to suppress her anger as she told the guards.
The guards didnt let her pass, instead to An yiniang, they said, Without the generals permission, no one is allowed to enter the main residence!
Usually, An yiniang would leave. She always wanted to leave Lan Jian Jun with a good impression of her gentleness, but An yiniang had to raise her voice shouting, Master! Master? This concubine asks master to save Yiner!
An yiniang was going to shout more but was interrupted.
Isnt this An yiniang? Why is she shouting at uncles ce? Hua Mu Qing and Lan Mo Xian came out from the main courtyard and heard An yiniangs voice. Today, they were listening to Lan You Nians instructions for them to stop An yiniang from seeing Lan Jian Jun.
An yiniang saw Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qinging out from inside and knew Lan Jian Jun was definitely inside, as long as she can lure Lan Jian Jun outside, she can have Lan Jian Jun save Lan Yin.
Someonee, send An yiniang back, Hua Mu Qing said to the servant boy, If she bothers uncle, what to do then?
Junzhu, you have yet to marry into Lan manor yet you dare to treat your elder like this, really have no respect for your elders! An yiniang was infuriated by Hua Mu Qing, thinking that Hua Mu Qing was now Lan Ma Xians fiancee, she hated her even more. Lan Mo Xian, an orphan, how can he have such a good life? He received the identity of Lan manors legitimate son and now is marrying a junzhu, really beat her son.
Elder? You are just a concubine, you dare to call yourself this junzhus elder? Hua Mu Qing snapped, Take her away!
The servants nced at Lan Mo Xian, Lan Mo Xian with a straight face, What are you looking at? Didnt you hear junzhus words?
The servants were all scared by Lan Mo Xian, hurriedly had some maids help An yiniang back, to say it was help but more like drag.
Was I very fierce? What if Uncle knows? Hua Mu Qing said with worry. She hadnt married into the manor, yet she was already so valiant, what to do if people knew?
I think its good, a little fierce and no one will dare to bully you! Lan Mo Xian chuckled, Father isnt that kind of person, what you are originally like, marry me Lan Mo Xian, you can still be the same, no need to wrong yourself!
Hua Mu Qing was somewhat moved, but after a while, she gave Lan Mo Xian a kick, What do you mean saying I am very fierce?
Lan Mo Xian shook his head, then smiled, You are very fierce! Then he ran towards You Nian Pavilion.
Lan Mo Xian, you stop right there! Hua Mu Qing chased after Lan Mo Xian, but halfway she saw Uncle Lan. Hua Mu Qing instantly stood up properly and smiled at Uncle Lan, Uncle Lan She looked well behaved, but the premise is that you didnt see her baring her teeth and ws before.
Junzhu! Uncle Lans aged face had a small smile. He liked this girl who was bold without any affectation, Eldest master headed towards You Nian Pavilion!
When Hua Mu Qing heard this, she revealed her true nature as she chased after him. Uncle Lan watched Hua Mu Qings back with a smile. Lan Manor hasnt been this lively for a long time.
Just like this, three days passed. As An yiniang anxiously raised the money needed, she received thunderous news. Her son, Lan Yins hands, were cut off and he was now thrown on the market street with his life hanging by a thread.
An yiniang rushed to the market like a madman. She didnt ever imagine that the son she thought was staying in the manor actually ran outside and had his hands cut off, this...An yiniang felt she was about to faint, but she couldnt!
When Lan Jian Jun received this news, he was reviewing documents in the study. After a long silence, Lan Jian Jun said to Uncle Lan, It seems Nianer couldnt help it!
Master, since young miss let his news travel into your ears, she probably wants master to go. Master, will you go? Uncle Lan asked. He didnt feel any dissent against young misss actions. In Uncle Lans heart, there was only one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter in the manor.
Go! Lan Jian Jun put down his brush, stood up, Whatever Nianer does is good. In the past, I wasnt able to protect her, now I will do as much as I can!
Miss Lan! An San appeared in You Nian Pavilions loft. She has already been sent by master to be given to Lan You Nian and was now helping Lan You Nian doing things, but An San had to admit, she felt morefortable following Miss Lan.
What? Lan You Nian asked. Ever since she epted her own feelings, she was now much closer to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan hated he couldnt live in Lan manor. An San was the shadow guard Feng Yi Xuan gave to her. She had to say that An San was very skilled, did things very well.
Lan Yins hands have been cut off. An yiniang is heading there. General Lan is also going! An San said excitedly. Initially, she thought Miss Lan was a soft, cute girl but didnt expect her to be as fierce as their master. However, such a ruthless Miss Lan made them like her more.
Since its so lively, why dont we go? Lan You Nian rose from the couch. She can still smell Feng Yi Xuans scent from the couch.
Lan Wu Lan You Nian spoke to Lan Wu beside her, Go change to a bigger couch!
Lan Wu covered her mouth as she snickered. Even Lan Qu and An San snickered. They knew Lan You Nian felt sorry for Feng Yi Xuan. After all, such a tall man had to sleep on such a small couch every night, it was quite ufortable.
Lan You Nian wasnt abashed. Since she acknowledged Feng Yi Xuan as her man if she didnt show him concern, who will?
Lan Qu, have you told older brother? Lan You Nian put on the veil.
Already told eldest master what young miss wants to do, now were watching An yiniangs good performance! Lan Qu grinned.
Yes, today there really will be a good performance!
Chapter 120 - Blood Test
120 Blood Test
secretdreamwishes
In the bustling market, because of Lan Yins injury, it was congested with people. An yiniang sat in the sedan chair anxiously, shouting at the civilians blocking the road, Scram! Make them scram!
The sedan chair An yiniang sat in was luxurious, any discerning eye was able to tell that it belonged to a madame of an official family, although unhappy, but since ancient times, civilians didnt fight with the officials, many people moved out of the way, opening up the road.
At this time, Lan You Nian already arrived at Lan Yins street. From afar, she could see Lan Yin was thrown right outside the gambling house. His hands were already cut off. The blood flowed onto the ground outside the gambling house, dying it red. Lan Yin had already passed out.
Lan You Nians pupils appeared a ck swirl, her lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. To the people blocking her way, she said gently, Can I bother everyone to let me through? That is my second brother! Lan You Nian pretended to be distressed. Although no one can see Lan You Nians face hidden by the veil, they can sense this girls worry. Everyone couldnt help involuntarily stepping out of the way, letting Lan You Nian go to Lan Yins side.
This must be Lan manors legitimate daughter Miss Miao Yin. She really is pure-hearted! The sounds of discussion rolled around in the crowd.
Lan Wu grumbled inside, young miss didnt do anything, how did it be being pure-hearted? Indeed, a persons temperament was still very important.
When An yiniang screamed her way through the crowd, everyone looked at An yiniang with disappointment. All the civilians knew An yiniang was General Lans concubine. In their hearts, General Lan was the general who defended their homnd. An yiniangs screaming obviously looked down on them civilians.
Lan You Nian looked at the Lan Yin who was lying on the ground and seemed to have been frightened as she stood there frozen not knowing what to do, but when she saw An yiniangs arrival, her eyes shed with coldness.
An yiniang tore through the crowd and saw her Lan Yin lying on the ground, life or death unknown. Her whole person felt like the sky was falling down. Her only pir and hope copsed.
Lan You Nian simply stood there. An yiniang ran to Lan Yins side, pushed away Lan You Nian, and shouted at Lan You Nian as if shes gone mad, Was it you? Did you do it? Its all caused by you, you unlucky star!
Lan You Nian was pushed down by Lan Wus side. Lan Wu lifted up her young miss, forced out a few tears, An yiniang, how can you be like this? Young miss knew young master was injured and rushed here, where was it like you riding a sedan? Now her kind heart is treated like this by An yiniang!
Everyone thought it was right. Lan third miss rushed here. Once she came, she was worried about Lan second masters injuries, while An yiniang was sitting in a sedan. Once she arrived, she unreasonably treated a girl like this. Shes probably used to bullying in the manor.
An yiniang picked up Lan Yin who passed out and cried, My son how have you be like this? How could this be? Who did it?
No one answered An yiniangs questions. This gambling house in the capital it wasnt the first time someones hand have been cut off, wasnt the first time a young master of an official family. Everyone knew the gambling houses rules, who told you to gamble? If you lost your gamble, it was you who went to borrow money, you only have yourself to me.
Lan You Nian squatted down looking at An yiniang, her words were worried, but her eyes on An yiniang were gloating, An yiniang, second brother cant stay like this, Nianer and Master Gui Yi are acquainted, how about taking second brother to Master Gui Yis ce to heal?
An yiniang when she heard Lan You Nians words, her eyes shed with hope, but when she lifted her head to look at theughter in Lan You Nians eyes, she was furious. Her son has be so miserable, yet Lan You Nian was so unrestrained, for her son to be like this, it must be connected to her!
You... An yiniang reached out her fingers that were covered with Lan Yins blood pointing at Lan You Nian, cursing, You slut, its all you! All you!
Lan You Nian looking at An yiniangs fingers filled with killing intent. She was wondering when she can cut off this finer. But everyone seeing Lan You Nians lowered head without a word, they all thought Lan You Nians kind heart being ignored and was upset, they spoke up for Lan You Nian.
This madame how can you be like this? Miss Lan is just being kind! Really there is no repayment for kindness! A matron scolded.
Yeah, I thought Lan manors yiniang was a virtuous woman, but it seems to be misinformation! An older said.
An yiniang raised her head ring at Lan You Nian. She now understands. Lan You Nian wants her to ruin the reputation she worked so hard for so many years. An yiniang retracted her impulse to continue swearing. She knew the more she was angry, the more happy Lan You Nian would be.
Lan You Nians eyes shed with a smile, it seems An yiniang wasnt stupid. Her son has be like this, yet she still can think of this. Probably even her own son was simply a tool for her to use.
Lan Jian Jun came! Someone in the crowd shouted. An yiniang looked at the man she loved for half a lifetime head her way.
Lan Jian Jun first nced at Lan You Nian who stood up. Lan You Nian was also looking at Lan Jian Jun, her father. She knew that Lan Jian Jun must know this matter was connected to her, but Lan You Nian did not have any kind of expression.
Lan Jian Juns features serious and old-fashioned, his long eyebrows thick, eyes deep, high nose, thin lips. When he wasnt smiling, his bearing was powerful without getting angry but looking at the daughter, his heart shed with helplessness. How can he not tell the intention in his daughters eyes? But how could he me her? Now even if his daughter wants to kill the Emperor, he will help her, not only because he owed her, but he really liked this only daughter.
An yiniang didnt expect that her sons life was lying on the line, but this man was still looking at Lan You Nian that slut, this man was truly heartless.
Master, save Yiner! An yiniang held Lan Yin who was covered in blood, begging, even though her heart was full of hate.
Lan Jian Jun looked at Lan Yin on the ground, nced at the surrounding people and shouted, Whats going on?
There was no violent anger or ming innocent people for his sons matters, Lan Jian Jun was like a wise and fair general asking about the cause of the issue. Such a practice made the people around admire him more.
The manager of the gambling house came out and greeted Lan Jian Jun, General Lan!
Lan Jian Jun looked at the manager, then asked, Lan Yins hands were cut off by you? Why? Give this general a reason! Otherwise, your gambling house does not need to continue any longer!
Lan Jian Juns words seemed to be defending his son, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand Lan Jian Juns meaning. If Lan Yin was in the wrong, then there wasnt a problem. In the end, he just needed a reason to let go of the gambling house. Lan Jian Jun thought the people of the gambling house were bribed by his daughter or some other reason, so he didnt want to make it difficult for his daughter.
The manager was a smart man, how can he not hear Lan Jian Juns meaning. The manager took out the contract and opened it for not only Lan Jian Jun to see but for all the other people to see. In ck and white as well as his own signature. Everyone saw it. Even An yiniang saw it.
General Lan, it isnt this humble one doing this purposely. It is Lan manors second master who borrowed a thousand taels to pay it back in a limited time but Lan manors second master not only didnt repay, he was hiding in Lan manor. Now this little one found him in the brothel, asking him to return the money but Lan manors second master did not. Originally it was to cut off Lan second masters one hand and one foot but considering General Lans identity, this little one cut off his two hands! the manager exined, his tone clearly saying Lan Yin only had himself to me.
Lan Jian Jun took the contract in the managers hand reading over it, and sighed, This is my sons fault, it has nothing to do with your gambling house!
Thank you General Lan! The manager gave his respects and then returned to the gambling house. Master was still in the upstairs of the gambling house watching.
Master? An yiniang looked at Lan Jian Jun unbelievably. She never thought Lan Jian Jun will spare the culprit who hurt Lan Yin.
Lan You Nian walked over to An yiniang and said worriedly, We better send second brother to Wu Qing Medical Hall. Otherwise, he wont make it!
As Lan You Nian, she saw Lan Jian Jun seemed to understand as he looked at her. Lan Jian Jun let the guards who followed him carry Lan Yin to Wu Qing Medical Hall. Many people watching the show followed them. Fortunately, Wu Qing Medical Hall wasnt far from the gambling house, just across from the street.
Do you know what Nianer meimei wants to do? Yu Liu Li asked. Lan Yin has already be a waste, why does Nianer meimei still want to save him?
Nianer meimeis thoughts are secretive, she must have her reason, lets go and see! Jing Wu An said.
Saying this, the four used qinggong and got to Wu Qing Medical Hall first. Perhaps because of that night everyones concern for Lan You Nian, everyone and Gui Yi and the others have be quite familiar with each other. When they arrived, there was a box waiting for them.
When Lan Jian Jun and the others came to Wu Qing Medical Valley, Gui Yi began to heal Lan Yin. Everyone thought this Lan manors third miss had a bit if friendship with Master Gui Yi but then thought of Lan You Nians identity as Miss Miao Yin, they felt it was very normal.
An yiniang, although upset and angry, but when she saw Master Gui Yi healing her son, hope rose in her heart as she aw Gui Yi stopped the bleeding and bandaged the hands that have been cut off.
How is my son? Will he be already? An yiniangs hair was a little messy, her makeup was also a mess, but her eyes were full of expectations.
Gui Yi nced at Lan Jian Jun, Lan second masters injuries are grave and have lost a lot of blood. If you want to save his life, the best way is to use the blood of a direct family member!
Alright! Lan Jian Jun nodded.
Seeing Lan Jian Jun agree, Gui Yi prepared the things needed for blood transfusion. Originally, Lan You Nian intended for her to do it, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt allow it and changed the n, turning it into Lan Jian Jun. For Feng Yi Xuan, as long as the one who had to bleed wasnt Lan You Nian, he didnt care about other people.
Gui Yi personally took blood from Lan Jian Jun then under everyones gaze, transferred into Lan Yins body. After a moment, they saw Lan Yin vomit blood, it seemed the situation has be even graver.
Whats wrong? Master Gui Yi, whats wrong with my son? An yiniang asked anxiously.
Gui Yi still looked like divine sage, then slowly said, Blood isntpatible!
Notpatible? How is it notpatible? An yiniang asked incredulously. She was going to grab Gui Yis sleeve, but Gui Yi dodged the emotional An yiniang.
Blood isntpatible because they arent father and son, that is, Lan second master isnt General Lans son! Gui Yi exined kindly then saw the eyes of his little junior sister blink at him, just like her mischief was a sess.
The crowd exploded in the pot. What is all the uproar about? IT was the fact that Lan manors second master wasnt General Lans seed, that is to say, Lan Jian Jun wore a green hat, that is to say, An yiniangmitted adultery!
An yiniang looked at Gui Yi in shock, then looked at Lan Jian Jun whose expression wasnt well then fell on her knees, No, you lie!
Then pointed at Lan You Nian, This is all your scheming, right? Did you do it?
Enough! Lan Jian Jun snapped, Master Gui Yi, is this true?
Gui Yi nodded, This is indeed true, if General Lan doesnt believe, you can do a blood test (ancient method of verifying blood affinity by dripping blood into a bowl; if the two blood drops is absorbed into one, then theyre father and son) so you can be reassured!
Lets test it. I believe An yiniang wont do such a thing. Testing it now can prove An yiniangs innocence! Lan You Nian said, clearly she was helping An yiniang, but An yiniang for some reason felt everything was messed up.
Gui Yi took a drop of Lan Yins blood and put it into the cup, then took Lan Jian Juns blood. Everyone anxiously watched the two drops of blood, but didnt mix! Everyone knew what this meant, that is, Lan Yin isnt Lan Jian Juns child!
Lan Jian Jun nced at Lan You Nian then took his guards and left, without a nce at An yiniang.
How can this be? It turns out second young master isnt generals son, then what about eldest miss? Lan Wu deliberately asked, such a doubt already entered deep into peoples heart. In only just a day, the reputation An yiniang painstakingly worked for disappeared, even her daughter lost all reputation.
Chapter 121 - Lan Yin’s Death
121 Lan Yins Death
Zhen Wei Pavilions third floor sat Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, and others. Lan You Nian was being held in Feng Yi Xuans arms. ording to Feng Yi Xuan, if his precious treasure doesnt stay in his arms, where should she stay? Lan You Nian wasnt shy either. Since she epted Feng Yi Xuans feelings, then she will generously ept it.
Hey, I say you two, can you consider our feelings? Yu Liu Li looked at his usually reticent friend now looking so gentle, he got goosebumps all over his body.
If you dont want to stay, then leave! Feng Yi Xuan embraced Lan You Nian while his hands were carefully peeling the fruits on the table.
AXuan, you have the beauty and forget your friends. Nianer meimeis temptation is too great! Feng Xia Qi said sourly. His familys younger brother has never been so considerate towards him, his own older brother, let alone being so gentle.
You dont say, I used to think wangye was broken sleeve (gay). Its okay now... Jing Wu An joked, but when he looked up and saw Feng Yi Xuans cold eyes, he lowered his head again. It seems Feng Yi Xuan was only a little warmer towards Lan You Nian. He still treated them the same.
Hahaha... Feng Xia Qiughed, not afraid of death.
Lan You Nian also giggled, and said to Feng Yi Xuan, You like men? Is it anyone sitting here?
Once these words came out, everyone burst intoughter. They knew very well that although Feng Yi Xuan had a bad temper, once he faced Lan You Nian, there was no longer any temper. He changed from a ferocious lone wolf into a docile little sheep. So as long as there was Lan You Nian, they really werent afraid of Feng Yi Xuan anymore.
If you are a man, I will like! Feng Yi Xuan pinched Lan You Nians straight nose, his tone doting and sincere.
I say, have you guys had enough! When is this going to end? Can you consider the feelings of us people who are still single? Yu Liu Li said with dissatisfaction. They were all still single. The person they thought who would be alone till the end his life was actually the first to find true love. It was a massive blow to Yu Liu Li.
Feng Yi Xuan simply ignored them. He hadnt had enough of holding Nian Nian in his arms. He wanted to eat Nian Nian, that way they dont have to be separated.
Nianer meimei, look, isnt the capitals curses about An yiniang very loud and clear? How did you know Lan Yin and the rest of them arent General Lans children? Feng Xia Qi couldnt help his curiosity. After all, they werent able to find anything about this matter.
Lan You Nian smiled, Have you guys never noticed that An yiniangs children dont even look a bit like General Lan? Besides, even if General Lan doesnt like An yiniang, he wouldnt involve the children, thats not his style!
That is true. Is it just based on this? Jing Wu An asked.
I know General Lan really loved mother in the past. Since it is true love, how could he touch another woman, much less having children repeatedly with her? This doesnt make sense. So there is only one possibility. That they arent his children! Lan You Nian said. Inside, she felt satisfied with General Lans actions. This man was worthy of Mother to love.
General Lan doesnt have it easy... Yu Liu Li sighed. Then he saw Lan You Nian looking at him coldly while Feng Yi Xuan even threw him a few res.
You sympathize with him? Feng Yi Xuan asked coldly. He didnt care what reason forced Lan Jian Jun or did anything that grieved him. He only knew because of Lan Jian Jun, his Nian Nian suffered a lot. Just based on this, it was enough for him to kill Lan Jian Jun. But he knew that although Nian Nian didnt care on the surface, she longed for this fatherly love in her heart, so he didnt touch Lan Jian Jun. But thest few days, Lan Jian Juns punishment was heavy, making the soldiers in the army bewildered at the reason.
Yu Liu Li shrank behind Jing Wu An,ughing nervously, No, how could I sympathize?
Useless! Feng Xia Qi scorned, then saw his younger brothers expression, he alsoughed nervously, dering righteously, I also dont sympathize with General Lan!
Pu Lan You Nian couldnt stop herughter. How could these people be so funny? Where was their savvy look when they were outside?
~knock knock~ There was knocking at the door then Lan Qu entered the room.
Young miss, Lan Yin died in his courtyardst night! Lan Qu reported the news to Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nians lips curled with pleasure, like an orchid cactus blooming at night, making the eyes of several people in the box sh.
Of course, Lan You Nian knew Lan Yin wouldnt live long. Yesterday, eldest brother personally poisonedLan Yin. This poison was colorless and tasteless, no one would know. Dont know how sad An yiniang would be?
Mother? Lan Ya looked at her mother who was no longer morous as she huddled in the nkets.
An yiniang tightly gripped Lan Yas hand, her eyes red and swollen like walnuts, Yaer, mother only has you. You must live up to your mothers expectations. You must kill Lan You Nian that slut, understand?
Lan Yas hand hurt from An yiniangs grip. She asked unsurely, Mother, am I really not fathers daughter? Lan Ya thought of the rumors and felt afraid. The reputation of being a bastard made him receive cold eyes in the circles. If she didnt have the identity of Lan manors young miss, how can she find a good husband?
Yes, you are masters daughter. You are all masters children! An yiniang shouted.
Then why would brother? Lan Ya was puzzled. With so many eyes watching, the matter of the blood test has already spread. She didnt know what to believe.
An yiniangs eyes shed with viciousness, like a poisonous snake, Lan You Nian did it! She probably had something to do with Yiners matters as well!
Lan Ya was taken aback. She never thought the Lan You Nian who looked to be weak and innocent had such abilities to be able to scheme against brother and then against mother. If this continues, the next one would be her. Lan Ya felt afraid when she thought about it.
Madame, Uncle Lan is outside asking to see Madame! A servant girl came into the room. Because of the blood test, An yiniang was a mess, so there were many things in the manor she wasnt aware of. She didnt even go visit her injured son.
An yiniang thought Uncle Lan came over because Lan Jian Jun asked for her because of the blood test, but she never thought that Uncle Lan came to tell her, Lan Yin died! Her son died!
An yiniang fell into a dead faint. Lan Ya and the maid beside her anxiously shouted for a doctor. Uncle Lan saw such a noisy atmosphere, his eyes shed with contempt!
Although Lan Yin wasnt Lan Jian Juns child, Lan Yins funeral was still held in Lan manor, only it didnt enter the earth with the identity of Lan manors young master. Until death, Lan Yin was only a wandering ghost! Because of this, An yiniang made a fuss, but it didnt change Lan Jian Juns original intention.
Todays Lan manor was even more silent. Today was the day Lan Yin was to be buried. Lan You Nian stood at the top of the pavilion, looking at Lan Yins courtyard hung full of white cloth, listening to An yiniangs wailing from afar. The exquisite face evoked a touch of radiance. When you look closely, you will notice the smile carried with it a sneer.
A gust of wind blew by, Lan You Nian noticed she was taken into a warm embrace.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian horizontally, Lan You Nian didnt refuse, locking her hands around Feng Yi Xuans neck asking curiously, Where are you taking me?
Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer, only kissed Lan You Nians forehead, his lips curled into a smile. Feng Yi Xuans smile was like a beam of light that emerged from the darkness, the sunlight that burst through the ice in winter, the splendid fireworks in the night sky, always making Lan You Nian happy.
When Feng Yi Xuan brought Lan You Nian to Ming wang manor, Lan You Nian nced around Ming wang manor with much familiarity and couldnt help smile, Howe you brought me here? Unless you want to hide the beauty in the golden house, Xuan?
Feng Yi Xuan observed Lan You Nian carefully, no matter when Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian, his eyes were always that warm, then copied Lan You Nian teasing, Then would Nian Nian be willing for this wang to hide the beauty in the golden house?
Without waiting for Lan You Nians reply, Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian into the manors kitchen. Lan You Nian noticed that wangfu was very quiet without any guards or servants. There wasnt anyone in the kitchen, strangely silent.
Feng Yi Xuan carried over a stool, very consideratelyyered the top with a cushion, then had Lan You Nian sit there.
Lan You Nian didnt refuse, allowing Feng Yi Xuan to do this. She was curious about what this man wanted to do today.
Lan You Nian watched as Feng Yi Xuan walked into the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves, revealing a strong white arm, then very troubled as he started to rearrange the kitchen. Lan You Nian felt this was extremely out of the ordinary. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan could cook and so she stood up and stood by the doorway watching the man busy inside.
Feng Yi Xuan was a wangye, so he has never gone to the kitchens. He was better at roasting in the wild. But for Nian Nian, he wanted to do these things he thought were troublesome in the past.
Feng Yi Xuan lighted the fire, then boiled some water, then took out the noodles that have been made previously and put them into the pot. Lan You Nian could tell that those noodles were made by him. The thickness was not uniform, and looking at the trash can, there were plenty of unsightly noodles thrown in there.
Feng Yi Xuan solemnly started to cook the noodles, then took out a few eggs, broke them open and into the pot, carefully adding some oil and salt, even adding some green vegetables.
After a moment, Feng Yi Xuandled his cooked noodles into a bowl. Looking back, he saw Lan You Nian standing at the doorway to the kitchen looking at him. It was like the glimmering stars of the sky fell into her ck and white, pure eyes, so bright it could almost make the one she was watching feel their hearts burn.
Lan You Nian felt that such a scene seemed as if it was engraved into her own heart. Many yearster, Lan You Nian can still recall today, remembering that man walked into the kitchen to cook for her, obviously he was a mess, but in Lan You Nians eyes, he was very tall.
Feng Yi Xuans left hand held the bowl of noodles, his right hand held Lan You Nians small hand, pulling Lan You Nian into the room. Lan You Nian looked at the man who was obsessed with cleanliness now had flour on his hands, there was still a bit of ash clinging to his clothes, but for some reason, it made her feel at peace.
Chapter 122 - Birthday
122 Birthday
secretdreamwishes
Nian Nian, happy birthday! Feng Yi Xuan ced the cooked noodles in front of Lan You Nian saying softly.
Lan You Nian was stunned. Birthday? So it turns out today was her birthday? Because in the previous life she suffered death and betrayal on her birthday, and now that Lan You Nians birthday represented her mothers death, ever since Lan You Nian came to this world, she has never celebrated her birthday, much less remembering the day of her birth. She didnt expect this man remembered this matter and even personally cooked for her birthday.
Maybe to many people, it was just a bowl of noodles but for Lan You Nian, this bowl of birthday noodles Feng Yi Xuan made for her was more valuable than any gift.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian did not move to pick up the chopsticks. He didnt rush her. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and personally fed Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian obediently opened her mouth, eating the noodles fed by Feng Yi Xuan.
In fact, Feng Yi Xuans cooking wasnt that good, but Lan You Nian felt this was more delicious than any delicacy she has ever eaten. This bowl of noodles contained Feng Yi Xuans affection and caring for her, this was more important than anything.
I heard Empress Mother said, you have to eat birthday noodles and eggs for your birthday, Feng Yi Xuan said to Lan You Nian while he fed her, All of Nian Nians birthdays, can I spend it with you?
Although Feng Yi Xuans actions were still the same but eyes filled with expectancy. The meaning of his words was very clear. If Lan You Nian agreed, then it was agreeing to Feng Yi Xuans pursuit of her. It can be considered truly epting Feng Yi Xuan. It would be giving him a pill of reassurance that he can be with her every year, doesnt that mean the two are together?
Lan You Nians tilted head as she chewed was like a little hamster, with her stuffed cheeks, extremely cute, then nodded, Okay! Every year my birthday, can you make birthday noodles for me to eat?
Feng Yi Xuan smiled in joy, eyes shed with purple light. He said seriously, Good, everything Nian Nian says is good!
When Lan You Nian saw such a doting Feng Yi Xuan, she felt terrible. How could she not know that her indifference always made Feng Yi Xuan afraid? Now Feng Yi Xuan existed in her heart, she was willing to show her true self to him.
Lan You Nian ate a few bites then said to Feng Yi Xuan, You eat too! She hoped to share all her happiness with him.
Hearing this, Feng Yi Xuan took a bite, then frowned with some guilt, The taste isnt that good!
But I think its delicious! Xuan, this is my first birthday, I am very happy, really, because I have you! Lan You Nian sincerely looked at Feng Yi Xuan, such a pair of clear and pure eyes was like a clear stream that can wash away all the gloominess and darkness.
Feng Yi Xuans leaned forward, leaning his forehead against Lan You Nians white forehead, his tone contained a touch a warmth, I am very happy because my Nian Nian finally started to ept me!
Lan You Nianughed softly, tilted her small head and then nted a kiss on Feng Yi Xuans cheek like a butterfly on water.
The warm feeling on his cheek made Feng Yi Xuan feel as if he was struck by electricity, his mind waspletely nk. Nian Nian kissed him. Nian Nian kissed him! Feng Yi Xuan was so happy he wanted to lower his head and kiss that pink lips, but Lan You Nian naughtily dodged it.
If you dont eat, it will get cold! Lan You Nian pointed at the bowl in Feng Yi Xuans hands.
Feng Yi Xuan smiled helplessly, kissed Lan You Nians lips then left. He liked the Nian Nian who didnt put up her guard with him.
Feng Yi Xuan picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and continued to eat. Just like this, you one bite, I one bite, as they continued with this most heart-warming birthday.
When Lan You Nian returned to You Nian Pavilion, the moon was high up in the sky. At first, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt willing to let her go, but when he heard An Sans report that someone was waiting in You Nian Pavilion, Lan You Nian considered it and decided toe back, but it wouldnt be long before Feng Yi Xuan would go too.
In the outer chamber of the pavilion, it was brightly lit. Lan You Nian walked into the pavilion and saw Lan Jian Jun sitting there. It has only been a few days, but his hair seemed to be whiter. For some reason, Lan You Nians heart felt sour. This was an emotion between father and daughter.
Lan Jian Jun saw the approaching daughter. She was even more beautiful than her mother, stronger and more indifferent than her mother. As Lan Jian Jun watched his daughter gradually approaching, he seemed to see the difficulty of each step she took. From a young child to this, its only unfortunate that there wasnt a fathers figure in the past.
Youre back? Lan Jian Jun tried to soften his rough voice, tried to soften his long-time stern face.
Lan You Nian sat down at the table, looking at the rich assortment of dishes on the table, and deliberately asked in confusion, Why is General Lan here? This girl remembers today is the day Lan Yin is to be buried, is it to celebrate?
Not going to answer Lan You Nians sarcastic words, Lan Jian Jundled a bowl of rice and chose some dishes he thought were good and put it into Lan You Nians bowl, Today is your birthday, father came to spend it with you!
Lan You Nian didnt touch the food in the bowl, instead poured a cup of wine for Lan Jian Jun, as well as for herself.
Speaking of which, today really isnt a good day! Lan You Nians lips curled into a sneer, but thinking of how Feng Yi Xuan spent her birthday with her, her eyes warmed, perhaps in the future, this day will be a good day.
Lan Jian Jun downed the wine in the cup, In the past, this day gave me a lot of pain because father lost his most beloved woman, but father is d that you are in this world, you are my daughter!
Lan You Nian followed in sipping the wine, a resentment suddenly rose in her heart. Lan You Nian knew this was the predecessors resentment. Lan You Nian pressed on her heart, saying inside, does your heart ache? Does your heart ache for your father? Rest assured, I know what to do, you can leave!
Suddenly she felt her body was a lot more rxed. Lan You Nian that the predecessors resentment has left. She now knew her father still loved her. She really is a kind girl.
Why dont you guess when this girl was being abused, what she was thinking? When I was being chased, what was I thinking? When I was at the cliff, what was she longing for? When she was better off dead, what did she resent? Lan You Nian spat every single word out.
I... Lan Jian Jun suddenly didnt dare think about it, nor did he dare to listen. He stretched out his wide but calloused hands, pulling Lan You Nians cold small hands, but no words escaped.
I was thinking, why does everyone call General Lan as a hero? Why, as your daughter, it is so painful? Lan You Nian said without any trace of affection. She nced at the hand being held by Lan Jian Jun but didnt avoid it.
Sorry, Lan Jian Jun said guiltily, Sorry, its all fathers fault!
Lan You Nian saw Lan Jian Juns red eyes saw the one everyone praised as general shed tears in front of her, saw his face gradually age, saw his eyes filled with guilt, saw him, because of anguish, shake.
I forgive you! Lan You Nian smiled. She didnt want to hate this deste man because of her predecessors matters.
Lan Jian Jun looked at Lan You Nian incredulously, then held Lan You Nian tightly, murmuring, Father....
I understand! Lan You Nian said. She understood Lan Jian Juns love for He Xiao Ran so wasnt able to ept some things. Now she epted this body, this man has done a good job of his role as father, she didnt want to pursue this matter anymore.
Waiting for Lan Jian Jun to calm down, he kept looking at Lan You Nian, one moment saying, Nianer, why are you so thin? A whileter, he would say, Why are your clothes so in?
I want to know the matters between you and An yiniang, lets talk about it? Lan You Nian interrupted Lan Jian Juns ramblings. She didnt expect such a serious man will rattle on like an elderly olddy. She didnt know whether epting this father was right or wrong.
Lan Jian Jun put away his feelings, recalling and telling the matters of the past...
He and his wife He Xiao Ran were childhood sweethearts and were still deeply in love. Even if they were married for many years, they still didnt have children. Lan Jian Jun felt this wasnt important. Later, seeing how his wife seemed to be mncholy because of the problem of children, Lan Jian Jun saw with his eyes and was anxious inside.
Later, his subordinate, who was also his friend of many years, died on the battlefield, his wife also let go not long after, leaving a few years old child behind. Lan Jian Jun pitied this child. He felt this child was good, and without any parents, summing it all up, he weed Lan Mo Xian into the manor, recognizing him as his own son, bing Lan manors legitimate heir, granting his wifes wish.
Sure enough, from then on, his wife was much happier, her mood was much better. Mo Xian this child was very smart and sensible. He and his wife really were fond of him. The two regarded Mo Xian as their own son. At that time, their family of three was in perfect harmony.
But at a banquet, Lan Jian Jun saved a woman who almost fell into theke. He didnt think too much about it; he just thought he was simply lending a hand. But he didnt expect for An yiniang to have some other ideas about him.
Later, whether it was the Empress or the Prime Minister, they all pressured him to marry An yiniang as a wife, but Lan Jian Jun never agreed. Later, An yiniang was willing to enter Lan manor as a concubine. This stirred the entire capital. But Lan Jian Jun only loved He Xiao Ran. How could he let An yiniang enter the manor?
The Prime Ministers suppression, as well as the Empresss provocation, did not force Lan Jian Jun into an agreement. But he never thought that Empresss faction would poison Xiao Ran. He could only watch as his wife was tormented by the pain but was unable to do anything about it.
Later, An yiniang found him and said that she knew what poison the Empress gave Xiao Ran. As long as he let her enter the manor, she will steal the antidote.
Lan Jian Jun felt lost at the time, so he told this to his wife. Xiao Ran couldnt bear to see him so upset, and she was reluctant to die, so in desperation, he agreed to An yiniangs request. An yiniang was brought into the manor, he got half of the antidote to save his wife, the other half would only be given when An yiniang was pregnant with child.
But Lan Jian Jun never touched An yiniang. Every time that he was supposed to be doing it with An yiniang, he gave her a drug and then let a death guard it. Xiao Ran knew about it, so Xiao Ran wasnt upset when An yiniang got pregnant.
When An yiniang was pregnant with her first child, he finally got the whole antidote. In the following days, he and his wife and Mo Xian still lived the same life. An yiniang was like an invisible person in Lan manor, no one took notice of her, nor did he allow An yiniang to meet with Xiao Ran.
As for theter two children, that was due to being forced to by Prime Minister An as well as the old madames interference, so he allowed the death guards to do that stuff. He simply thought that if An yiniang knew her ce, he would simply think of it as raising a few idle people in Lan manor.
When he learned Xiao Ran was pregnant, Lan Jian Jun felt everything was perfect. They always discussed that it must be a girl in her belly. Xiao Ran always said over and over again how she was going to pamper their daughter, always reminded him and Mo Xian to protect that girl but when he saw his newborn daughter, he lost his beloved woman.
When his daughter was young, her eyebrows carried shadows of Xiao Ran, her temper was as gentle and soft as Xiao Ran, so Lan Jian Jun didnt dare nor did he want to look. He can onlypensate this daughter with material things, but this was where he was wrong. Now he really regretted why he didnt protect their daughter.
After listening to Lan Jian Juns story, she sighed and found herself being held in a warm embrace, thinking this man really came in time.
ncing at Lan Jian Jun who was already in a drunken stupor, Lan You Nian intrusted Zhang Lin to send him back to his courtyard.
You really think Lan manor is your own residence? Lan You Nianughed.
Feng Yi Xuan opened the closet, finding Lan You Nians sleeping robes putting them behind the screen, then brought him some hot water, asked, Arent I marrying into Lan manor? Its best to get used to it!
Lan You Nian was speechless. It seems that she once said that she wont marry, Feng Yi Xuan had put it to heart, he actually wants to marry into Lan manor, this man, theres no way for her not to love him.
Chapter 123 - Tenderness
123 Tenderness
secretdreamwishes
Shifu... Feng Yi Xuan was rarely so respectful as he called to the old man sitting in his wangfu.
Who is your shifu? I dont have an disciple such as you! Gui Yi Zi said with dissatisfaction. Dont think you can be unscrupulous after youve abducted my familys Xiao Nian Nian. In Xiao Nian Nians heart, I, her shifu, is still most important!
Speaking of which, Gui Yi Zi felt ufortable inside, ring harshly at Feng Yi Xuan. He always regarded Xiao Nian Nian as his own granddaughter. Now a stinky brat is trying to steal Xiao Nian Nian from him, Gui Yi Zi didnt feelfortable inside.
Feng Yi Xuan had a lot of respect for Gui Yi Zi. Not because of Gui Yi Zis medical skills or martial arts but because of his position in Nian Nians heart. Feng Yi Xuan knew that for Nian Nian, this Gui Yi Zi was her family, a grandfather who loved her and protected her, so Feng Yi Xuan was not only respectful but also very grateful to Gui Yi Zi.
You are Nian Nians shifu, then you are my shifu! Feng Yi Xuan thought about it and then said, Nian Nian and I dont make any distinction!
Gui Yi Zi who had just calmed down suddenly exploded again, so angered that his white goatee shook, until he jumped out shouting, I havent agreed! You stinky brat dont be smug!
In the shadows, the shadow guards couldnt help but anxiously cold sweat for Gui Yi Zi. In this world, probably only Miss Lans shifu dared to be like this with master, and master must love Miss Lan a great deal to be so respectful to the elder Miss Lan cares for.
Then how would you agree? Feng Yi Xuan asked. He knew Nian Nian wished for Gui Yi Zis blessing. Besides, if he married Nian Nian and Gui Yi made things difficult for him, Nian Nian will be in an awkward position in the middle.
Fortunately, Gui Yi Zi didnt know what Feng Yi Xuan was thinking. Otherwise, they will definitely get into a fight. He didnt agree yet this brat was already thinking about entering Xiao Nian Nians doors? No way!
Look at your performance, if you dare let Xiao Nian Nian be sad, hmph! Gui Yi Zi threatened. He could tell Xiao Nian Nian was different with this man. This child worried him the most, now there was someone to protect her, love her, it was better than bearing the responsibilities all by herself.
Feng Yi Xuan was relieved, understood Gui Yi Zi didnt dislike him too much. His reputation outside wasnt that good.
I will protect Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan said sincerely. This was something he knew he should do.
Gui Yi Zi has lived for many years, has seen a lot of things. He knew the man in front of him was cold and cruel on the surface and the same inside, but once such a person falls in love, then he will pursue through the heavens and earth. This was why he didnt object. He knew his disciple Gui Yi liked Xiao Nian Nian, but Gui Yi did not have Feng Yi Xuans resoluteness. Xiao Nian Nian needed a man who can give up anyone for her. Gui Yi had too many things to consider.
You spent so much effort to make this old mane to Ming wang manor is for what? Gui Yi Zi said. He was at Zhen Wei Pavilion tasting some new dishes and was lured here by many shadow guards.
Feng Yi Xuan sat opposite of Gui Yi Zi, his tone was cold, Nian Nians poison....
Ai! Gui Yi Zi although he was usually an impish old man when speaking of the poison on Lan You Nian, he will be upset, It can be said that every time Xiao Nian Nians poison activates, it is always dangerous. This old man is currently trying to develop an antidote!
What do you need? Feng Yi Xuan suppressed the exploding coldness in his heart.
Gui Yi Zi knew Ming wang manor most certainly had many previous herbs. Looking at Feng Yi Xuan, he knew he wasnt an ordinary person, but currently, the prescription hasnt been wholly assembled, couldnt help feeling disappointed, If there is a need, this old man will tell you! But Xiao Nian Nians body is very weak right now, this old man will be going back in a few days, you take care of Xiao Nian Nian to be plump, otherwise...
There was no need for Gui Yi Zi to say this. Feng Yi Xuan also wanted to fatten up Nian Nian a little. Right now holding Nian Nian in his arms was light like a gust of wind, it gave him a feeling that he couldnt grasp her.
Shifu, the chefs in the manor can make some delicious food, would shifu like to eat before leaving? Feng Yi Xuan asked. From Nian Nian, he knew Gui Yi Zi may seem strange, but he was simply an impish old man, and he loves to eat, drink and y.
Oh? Compared to Zhen Wei Pavilion? Gui Yi Zi was interested. His mouth was be picky by Xiao Nian Nian, regr foods he wont even consider.
Each has its strong points! Feng Yi Xuan said without exaggerating. All the chefs in the manor were the best cooks from every ce. Before, he didnt care about these, but now he felt An Yi and them were absolutely right to do this because not only did Gui Yi Zi like, Nian Nian also liked delicious food.
Muchter, on the maind, the highly skilled chefs were nearly all taken into wangfu, only because a certain wangyes precious treasure loved delicacies.
Young miss, Elder Gui Yi Zi, eldest young master, second young master, and the rest of them went back! Lan Qu came into the room to report.
They all went back? Lan You Nian asked. She knew shifu needed to go back. Shifu was always worried about her bodys poison. Eldest brother went back for the same reason, to study the poison in her body. Second brother and the others cant stay in the capital too long. Wu Qing Pavilion still needed people.
In the capital, third master stayed behind to help young miss. Fifth master is still in Ming army training! Lan Qu answered. She felt eldest master and the others going back was right because, with young misss shifu and senior brothers in the capital, young miss was always more wary, afraid they will get hurt.
I heard the eldest princess has be neither human nor ghost? Lan You Nian recalled the rumors she heard in thest few days.
Lan Qu snickered, with quite a bit of gloating, Yeah, I heard shes now changed from a beautiful jade girl into an old woman. Most likely shes been poisoned. But why does this poison seem like the poison third master developed?
I think it must be the poisons third master developed, but I dont know who poisoned the eldest princess! Lan Quughed, towards anyone who hurt their young miss, they dont like.
It seems it was fifth brother who did it! Lan You Nian chuckled. Only fifth brother would be so childish to use this poison.
How are you so clever? Feng Yi Xuan walked into the pavilion with praise, his voice filled with his doting towards Lan You Nian.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu saw Feng Yi Xuan walk into the room. The two giggled and then withdrew. They have begun to ept the fact that by young misss side there would be a Ming wang. Since Ming wang was together with young miss, young misss mood was much better, sometimes also learned to rely on others.
It seems this has something to do with you? Lan You Nian naturally snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms.
Feng Yi Xuan was very satisfied with Lan You Nian throwing herself into his arms, eyes shed with a smile, squinting as he picked up Lan You Nian andid down on the couch, I wont let other people hurt you!
En! Lan You Nian believed in the words this man said.
How did this couch be so much more spacious? Feng Yi Xuan asked deliberately, but his lips curled upwards.
Lan You Nian didnt beat around the bush, and admitted it, I had them change it. Otherwise, youre always sleeping on that narrow couch, how is itfortable?
When Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nian admitting to her care for him, his heart felt as sweet as if he ate honey. He didnt know how to express his joy, so opened his mouth and took a bite of Lan You Nians cheek. Although there wasnt much force, there was still a slight impression left behind.
Lan You Nian was lightly bitten by Feng Yi Xuan, didnt feel a bit of pain but felt her cheek was ufortably numb, and red at Feng Yi Xuan, without a good temper, Why did you bite me? Are you a dog?
Feng Yi Xuan saw the girl in his arms cute look and couldnt helpugh, the lowughter traveled into Lan You Nians ears.
Feng Yi Xuan put his cheek by Lan You Nians mouth, shamelessly said, Why dont Nian Nian bite me? If one bite isnt enough, take a few more bites!
Lan You Nian couldnt stand to see his smug look, she really did bite Feng Yi Xuans cheek. Although Feng Yi Xuan has been battling many years on the battlefield, his skin was still very good, even more tender and white than a womans. Lan You Nian did not have Feng Yi Xuans tender-heart for beauty, ruthlessly took a bite. Only when it was almost bleeding did she relinquish.
When she released him, Lan You Nian had some regret. How can she be so willful in front of Feng Yi Xuan? She even hurt him.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt even make a sound nor did he dodge, when Lan You Nian let go, he was still smiling, Have you vented your anger?
You! Lan You Nian saw on Feng Yi Xuans handsome face there was a bite mark and was speechless, with him looking like this, where was there any dignity? She hurriedly took out an ointment and applied it, I bite you, you just let me bite. Look at you, how can you go out tomorrow?
Feng Yi Xuan allowed Lan You Nian to smear the ointment on him, with much enjoyment, Just go out like this. As long as it was given by you, its all good!
Lan You Nian now understood Feng Yi Xuan somewhat. She was certain Feng Yi Xuan will really swagger through the streets wearing this bite, eagerly wanting many people to know it was she who bit him. This man, on the surface, he had deep thoughts and high martial arts, but when he faced her, he was just like a child.
No! Xuan, if you dare to go out like this, you dont need to sleep on this couch anymore! Lan You Nian threatened.
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly pressed Lan You Nian under him, happily asked, Dont sleep on the couch, can I sleep on your bed? He really liked the feeling of Nian Nian sleeping in his arms, as if his empty heart has been overfilled.
Not good! Lan You Nian rejected. Although her young body cant do anything and Feng Yi Xuan was considerate of her, wont do anything to her, but she wasnt a girl who didnt understand anything. Sometimes when they were too intimate, this mans heavy breathing, she waspletely aware of.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian with some disappointment, but he wont cause Nian Nian to be angry, so said, Before this mark disappears, I will wear a mask?
Lan You Nian thought about it and thought it was good, and nodded.
Chapter 124 - Ambush at the Horse Ranch
124 Ambush at the Horse Ranch
secretdreamwishes
Recently the capital has been quite lively. That was because of this years four major countries exchange banquet was being held in the capital. In the capital, there can be found any people from other countries, different clothing, different customs let the businesses in the capital rake in a ton of cash.
Miss, Bai Lian sent news! Lan Qu reported the news she received to Lan You Nian. Bai Lian since the day she left there wasnt any news of her. Young miss didnt ask about it, but it was entirely unexpected that Bai Lian contacted young miss.
Speak! Lan You Nian thought of that beautiful, aloof woman and couldnt help being deeply affected. If she was a man, she will probably really like Bai Lian. Its only a pity that she was a female. But Lan You Nian still wanted to be friends with Bai Lian. Such a woman if she let go of this opportunity, it would be one regret.
The exchange meeting of the various countries will be held in the capital. Amongst the people Yue has sent, there is Bai Lian! Lan Qu said then nced at her young miss seemingly troubled. Although young miss treated Bai Lian very ordinarily on the surface, they can tell young miss really liked this woman very much.
Is there anything else? Say it. Is it rted to Bai Lian? Lan You Nian asked.
Lan Qu pondered it and directly admitted, This time Bai Lian seems to be used as a marriage alliance princess toe to Feng. Bai Lian seems to have agreed. Im afraid this time Bai Lian will marry into Fengs imperial family!
Lan You Nians smile was still splendid, there was danger in that brilliance. The ck swirls of her pupils deepened further, Yue really has a good idea. Bai Lian agreed? Lan You Nian thought of Bai Lians temper, would rather break than bend. For her own life to be arranged, she probably wasnt willing.
This is whats strange. Bai Lian seems to be willing. Young miss, should we intervene? Lan Qu asked worriedly, thinking that such a smart woman if she entered the pce walls to be a chess piece for peace marriage, it was such a pitiful event.
No need, since Bai Lian does this, she has her own intentions. When shees to the capital, well make another n! Lan You Nians eyes were cold. If Bai Lian needs her princess identity, she must fulfill a princesss obligation. We can do anything to stop it!
Although Lan You Nians Wu Qing PAvilions power wasnt small but couldntpete with a country at all. Lan You Nian believed Bai Lian had her own intention in doing so. Lan You Nian never thought that Bai Lian did all this, all because of her.
Yues Emperors favored consort, Noble Consort Su died not long ago very strangely, it seems Bai Lian did it! Lan Qu said. Bai Lian returned to the imperial pce to end all the previous hatred. She didnt expect the seemingly gentle Bai Lian, when she did things, she had a bit of masters style.
Lan You Nianughed; Bai Lian didnt disappoint her. She avenged herself!
Young miss, today junzhu invites you to horse riding! Lan Qu reminded when she saw that herdy wasnt in a hurry.
Lan You Nian suddenly sat up, Oh right, I almost forget! Bring my riding clothes! A few days ago, Hua Mu Qing came to the manor to tell Lan You Nian to go to the Western Mountain to ride horses in the afternoon. The two agreed to meet in the western mountain. Hua Mu Qing was probably already there.
Lan You Nian changed into a more convenient riding outfit. It was still pure white embroidered with red spider lilies. Her face was covered with a veil as she rode out of Lan manors back door. Because her rtionship with Lan Jian Jun was much better, Lan Jian Jun gave this daughter a lot of consideration.
When Lan You Nian came to the western mountains ranch, on an endless green grasnd, Hua Mu Qing wore a slim blue riding outfit, having been waiting for a long time. When she saw Lan You Nian, she waved her hand excitedly, shouting, Nianer meimei, here!
Lan You Nian drove the horse over to Hua Mu Qing, with some guilt, Mu Qing jiejie waited long?
Hua Mu Qing carelessly said, Just a while ago. I dont have anything to do in the manor, so its good to look at the scenery!
Lan You Nian knew that recently the Empresss faction was on the move. Feng Xia Qi encountered many obstacles in the courts, even the army has be out of the ordinary. Lan Mo Xian as Feng Xia Qis subordinate will help out. He probably didnt have time to spend with Hua Mu Qing.
Today ride around the ranch? Lan You Nian asked. She knew Hua Mu Qing couldnt stay still.
Hua Mu Qing suddenly whipped the horse riding away, looking back at Lan You Nian, Today I want to race with Nianer meimei, lets see who can reach the destination first? Hua Mu Qing heard from Lan Mo Xian that Lan You Nians riding skills were pretty good. Hua Mu Qing always believed herself to be pretty good at riding amongst other women. When she heard Lan Mo Xian say this, she naturally wanted to have apetition.
Lan You Nian hasnt ridden a horse for a while. Thest time she rode a horse it was with fourth brother racing in a small vige. Now thinking back, she missed it very much.
Okay! But what is the prize for winning? Lan You Nianughed. Mentioning this was only to render the mood.
Hua Mu Qing thought about it carefully. She knew Feng Yi Xuan pampered Lan You Nian a great deal, what she ate, or used was the best, even she a junzhu cannotpare. What can she use as a prize?
Lan You Nian saw Hua Mu Qing so serious thinking about this and said, How about this, if Mu Qing jiejie wins, I will personally make wine for Mu Qing jiejie to taste, if little sister I win, then Mu Qing jiejie cook for me?
Okay! Hua Mu Qing felt this prize was interesting, it was much more enjoyable than anything else.
The two looked at each other and galloped. Lan You Nian rode the horse feeling the warm wind blowing past her cheeks. Her mood was rarely so pleasant. Perhaps because she usually had many things weighing down on her, Lan You Nian wanted to indulge just this once.
Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan You Nian who was riding in front of her, her heart shed with enjoy. She didnt expect Nianer meimeis riding skill was even better than hers. Her riding skills were only good to look at but werent useful at all. But Nianer meimei wasnt the same. Her riding skill couldpare to Lan Mo Xians.
Lan You Nian whipped by on the horse without any restraint. Hua Mu Qing who fell behind a considerable distance had some difficulty, but the smile on her face was still bright. After all, in the capital, no matter how wild she was, she was still a junzhu. She must have the bearing of a junzhu. For now, she was very happy.
Lan You Nian looked at the sun above her head and the lush forest surrounding the ranch, suddenly a cold smile tugged on her lips and stood upright.
Hua Mu Qing from afar saw Lan You Nian was happily riding when she stopped. She immediately went to Lan You Nians side asking, Nianer meimei, whats wrong?
Its gettingte, Mu Qing jiejie should return! Lan You Nian leaned closer to Hua Mu Qing.
Hua Mu Qings eyes shed with panic, but she didnt show it, she lowered her voice, If theres something, how can I leave? Does Nianer meimei underestimate me?
Lan You Nian knew Hua Mu Qing was a very loyal person. She probably cant persuade her. The people hiding in their surroundings from their breathing, they werent regr guards but assassins. Because of her poison activating, she had hurt her foundation. Her martial arts hasnt recoveredpletely. Hua Mu Qing, although can do some martial arts it was just some basic punches and kicks, it wasnt any help at all. It seems they will see blood today.
The enemy moved. Lan You Nian was even faster. Her whole body was like galloping lightning, breaking into the ce the assassins had hidden, taking her dagger, one after another. The men in ck never thought Lan You Nians skills to be so excellent, were more or less shocked, but more if it was even more entangled killings.
Lan You Nian protected Hua Mu Qing behind her, the dagger in her hand flew like a butterfly, rushing towards the people charging towards her, one by one they fell to the ground, blood pouring out of their hearts. In a blink of an eye, those assassins were all scattered on the ground.
Hua Mu qing had never seen such a blood event before, her face was a little pale, but there was no disgust. She knew that a lot of times if you dont kill other people, then the one who dies would be you. She wasnt a woman who didnt understand anything. She had her own measures.
Lan You Nian saw another group of assassins, her delicate face had a sly smile, her soft voice was like the wind of the beginning of spring with a bit of coolness, It really makes people unhappy! Only know to bother my enjoyment?
Saying this, she gripped the dagger prepared to kill, but she was taken into a warm embrace. Feng Yi Xuan received the news that Lan You Nian has been surrounded instantly without stop rushed here. Feng Yi Xuans brows were covered with ayer of ice, the sharp cold eyes were like a sharp knife, stabbing into the men in ck in front of him.
And following behind him were Lan Mo Xian and the others. Hua Mu Qings barely held together nerves when she saw Lan Mo Xian instantly rxed and fainted.
Lan Mo Xian held Hua Mu Qing looking at the bloody corpses on the ground and knew how cruel his little sisters ways were. Although Lan You Nian was much better due to Feng Yi Xuans arrival, the surrounding cruelty and bloodthirsty aura still wrapped around her. It probably scared Hua Mu Qing, or simply her nerves were too stimted.
Brother should take Mu Qing jiejie back! Lan You Nian said to Lan Mo Xian.
Lan Mo Xian nced at the surrounding people and shook his head. Although his heart ached for Hua mu Qing, he knew what his duties were.
Go back. Otherwise, Xuan and I will be distracted taking care of you, itd be difficult! Lan You Nian said. She knew Feng Yi Xuans martial arts were powerful. The two of them can take care of these people.
Lan Mo Xian nced at Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans aloof face nodded, as if epting, Lan Mo Xian carried Hua Mu Qing using qinggong to go back.
Are you hurt? Feng Yi Xuan carefully checked Lan You Nian, afraid of Lan You Nian having a mishap.
Lan You Nian shook her head, the coldness in her eyes had yet to disperse, No need for An Yi and them to do it, I want to do it myself! Lan You Nian already saw Feng Yi Xuan was prepared to let An Yi and them take care of these people, but Lan You Nian felt her rare good mood was disturbed, she felt stuffy inside and wanted to see blood.
Feng Yi Xuan although his heart ached for Lan You Nian but knew if he didnt let her vent her anger, she wouldnt feelfortable, so he only held Lan You Nian securely in his arm, I apany Nian Nian?
Lan You Nian thought that she has yet to see Feng Yi Xuan kill, although it was rumored he was bloodthirsty, naturally there were hints of expectation, Alright!
Chapter 125 - I Will Kill for You
125 I Will Kill for You
secretdreamwishes
Feng Yi Xuans deep eyes were as sharp as a knife, emitting an even more piercing gaze than before. If gazes can kill, the people clothed in ck wouldnt know how many times they would have died.
The men in ck who were full of murderous auras saw Feng Yi Xuane here more or less scared. After all, the rumors of Feng Yi Xuans bloodthirstiness no one didnt. The thick dark aura on Feng Yi Xuan was too strong, the aura pressured the men in ck making them unable to breathe.
Lan You Nian without a word started to kill. The dagger in her hands became one with her. All the men in ck around her will fall to the ground with blood flying. Lan You Nian was very good with closebat, so once she passed by an assassin, she will take a life.
Although Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nians abilities, he was still worried. He always stayed at Lan You Nians side. You could only see Feng Yi Xuan was like a cheetah, his actions fast and full of power, shoulders, elbows, hands, seemed to be all weapons that hurt people. A ck cloak silhouetted him, making him more wild and fierce, like a tigering down the mountain. Everywhere he went, the assassins were cruelly hearts interrupted and died,pared to Lan You Nians cruelty, it was even worse.
In the shadows, the shadow guards who followed behind widened their eyes watching Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuans skill. They knew masters skill was very fierce, but they didnt expect the woman their master took a fancy to was so powerful, such strange skills made them envious.
When Feng Yi Xuan with his arm cradling Lan You Nian to retreat from this bloody grasnd, all the men in ck were all dead.
Perhaps because of killing so many people, having spent all the suppressed and pent-up inside, Lan You Nian felt tired.
Xuan, do you think Im cruel, bloodthirsty, and vicious? Lan You Nian looked at her hands that were already died red from the blood. She seemed to not be able to remember when her hands became stained with so much blood. There were those deserving as well as innocent people, but she didnt regret it. She showed the real her to Feng Yi Xuan. She only hoped they can know each other so there wouldnt be anyints in the future.
Feng Yi Xuan took out a in white handkerchief, carefully wiping the wipe on Lan You Nians hands, his eyes were without any disgust. When Lan You Nians hands were wiped clean, Feng Yi Xuan leaned against Lan You Nians forehead, As long it is you, I like it all, even if its a demon, I will apany you to hell!
Lan You Nian felt this man was really good and exhibited a smile that was more beautiful than the sunset. Lan You Nians hands hooked around Feng Yi Xuans neck, gaze gentle as she kissed Feng Yi Xuans thin lips.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes were gentle seeing Lan You Nian actively kissing him, that numb sensation from the dry throat up to the trachea, the lungs, to the heart, where it spreads to every drop of blood in his body. It was a feeling he had never felt before that made one suffocate but at the same time pleasantly surprised and crave for it. He even hoped that he can continue to drown in this, nevering out.
The shadow guards were well-trained as they cleaned up the mess. It was clearly a disgustingly bloody scene, but because of the two not far away, they felt warm inside.
A kisster, Lan You Nians breath was unsteady, but she was happy inside. Looking at the man hugging her whose eyes shed with affection, she felt veryfortable. She felt her eyes were really good, for this man was hers.
Nian Nian, if you dont like blood, then let me kill for you. If you like blood bing a river, then I will destroy this world. What do you think? Feng Yi Xuan passionate voice was slightly hoarse but was very tempting.
Good! Lan You Nian nodded with a smile. This man always moved her without much thought.
Feng Yi Xuan lowered his head, and it was another kiss, a kiss with joy and tenderness, from the lips to her mouth, the hot and humid with a temperature that can melt anything, capturing territory, leaving no leeway.
Who do you think sent these people toe to assassinate today? Lan You Nian asked. She didnt receive any news about today.
Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan rose on the same horse. Feng Yi Xuan wrapped Lan You Nian in his arms, riding the horse under the sunset.
Speaking of this, Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed coldly. He had a forbidden line that no one was allowed to touch, his line was Lan You Nian. Anyone who wanted to hurt Nian Nian wasnt allowed. Although An San didnt follow Nian Nian today, he received news that in the Western Mountain Ranch, there would be an ambush, so he, without any stops, hurried over. Fortunately, nothing happened to his Nian Nian, otherwise...
This assassination definitely has something to do with the imperial family, Feng Lin Che! Feng Yi Xuan slightly pondered it and said, eyes filled with murder. He didnt expect that after Feng Lin Che has been broken so many of his wings and has been confined, he is still restless.
Lan You Nian heard Feng Yi Xuans words and thought about it. This assassination attempt was clearly directed at her with a determination to must-kill. The Empresss faction wont make it so obvious. These people were obviously hired killers, that means that this person probably didnt have any subordinates avable. Hostile towards her, want to kill her and the forces in his hands were already deficient, there was only third wangye Feng Lin Che. It seems that he still held a grudge against her for scheming his incarceration. But this time, she wont so easily let him go!
It seems he spent a lot of money to get so many killers, he really thinks highly of me! Lan You Nianughed.
Feng Yi Xuan watched the sun go down, the night fell. He reached out a hand to wrap up Lan You Nian in the cloak. He could remember Nian Nians poison and Gui Yi Zis instruction that he cant allow Nian Nian to get cold. Feng Yi Xuan felt heartache seeing such a thin and frail Nian Nian.
I help you deal with it, alright? Feng Yi Xuan leaned his chin against Lan You Nians vicle. Based on his personality, he was very arrogant. Whatever he wanted to do, he wouldnt follow other peoples ideas or suggestions. But with Lan You Nian, he always chose to pamper, chose to respect. If she agreed to let him solve it, he will handle a lot of things, not let her worry. If she wanted to solve it herself, he would let her do it, but he will still stand by her to protect her.
Lan You Nian saw such a tyrannical man restrained his personality, more or less her heart was touched. In fact for Lan You Nian, whether it was the overbearing Feng Yi Xuan or gentle Feng Yi Xuan, she knew this man did things for her own good. She trusted this man wont hurt her so who went to deal with it, was it that important?
Alright but I want to see! Lan You Nian leaned on Feng Yi Xuans chest, smiling charmingly, then looked at the cloak on her body with dissatisfaction, Its summer, it isnt cold, why do you keep me wrapped up?
Feng Yi Xuan worriedly said, Shifu said you have been buried in the snow for many days, your body is weak, I will look after you now! his voice was rarely so severe.
Feng Yi Xuans voice just fell, Lan You Nian stiffened in Feng Yi Xuans arms.
Whats wrong? Feng Yi Xuan asked anxiously, thought that his tone was too severe, made Lan You Nian unhappy, hurried to say, I can follow you on anything, but when it concerns your body, you must listen to me!
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian in his arms didnt utter a word and smelled the scent of blood, hurriedly picked up Lan You Nian to check her, Are you injured anywhere?
The shadow over Lan You Nians heart was big. She didnt expect that every time her menses came, Feng Yi Xuan was always with her. Most importantly, every time, it got onto Feng Yi Xuans body. No matter how indifferent she was, it was embarrassing. Her abdomen hurt a lot.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian wasnt injured, then saw the skirts under Lan You Nians butt had traces of blood as well as the blood on his own clothes, he suddenly understood. His face reddened. Ever sincest time Lan You Nians menses pain, he read the medical books about this aspect and asked some doctors, afraid that he will be helpless in the future.
Have your mensese? Feng Yi Xuan ced his warm hands on Lan You Nians abdomen, rubbing it regrly. This was something he learned from medical books.
Lan You Nian felt that Feng Yi Xuans massaging her abdomen the pain was much better, with some embarrassment she said, Your clothes, send me back to the manor!
Feng Yi Xuan did not even look at his clothes. Although he had an obsession with cleanliness but with Nian Nian, he did not have that kind of resistance. He was only worried if the girl in his arms was in pain.
Go to Ming wang manor! Feng Yi Xuan said and drove the horse to Ming wang manor, but hes slowed down to take care of Lan You Nians body. The hand on Lan You Nians abdomen didnt stop. He evenid out his wide clothes on the horse to let Lan You Nian sit on it, afraid Lan You Nian would be ufortable.
Lan You Nian didnt refuse. Because her menses came, she felt tired so went along with Feng Yi Xuan.
When Feng Yi Xuan flew into the manor into Lan You Nian, the shadow guards didnt look surprised as it was as they expected. Their master was really mighty, every two and three days abduct Miss Lan here!
Opening thepartment in the room, Lan You Nian very familiarly walked in. The hot spring inside was still warm. Lan You Nian asked curiously, I remember the first timeing here there wasnt such a room nor was there the hot spring. Why was it here the second time?
Feng Yi Xuan was currently looking for Lan You Nians clothes in the drawers, Last time you fell into the water, thought the tub was inconvenient, soter built this!
Lan You Nian couldnt help sigh. Feng Yi Xuans speed and power were amazing to so quickly build this hot spring without anyone knowing, and this was for her. How can this man be so good?
When Lan You Nian took the clothes and saw the menses pad, Lan You Nian stiffened her hands epting it, asked dumbfoundedly, You even have this? You found someone to make it? In her ce, she didnt even prepare, this man really...
Feng Yi Xuan was a little embarrassed, but he didnt hide anything from Lan You Nian, let alone Lan You Nian asked personally.
I personally made it Feng Yi Xuans ears were red, All your future menses pad, use the ones I make! Feng Yi Xuan used an overhearing voice to cover up his embarrassment.
In his bones, he was a tyrannical person, towards Lan You Nian it was even more so, so such intimate things, Feng Yi Xuan hoped were all done by him. To make this thing, he learned for a long time. Compared to fighting in wars, it was even more difficult, but atst, hes learned how to do it.
You did it? Lan You Nian blinked her eyes, it was impossible to imagine the brilliant and mighty Feng Yi Xuan holding a top-quality snow satin sewing frame, it really made people unable to ept.
In the future, let Lan Wu them do these! Lan You Nians heart ached. This man did too many things for her. He a wangye how could he do these?
I will do this! Feng Yi Xuan picked up Lan You Nian into the hot spring, Your everything is mine! Finished, looking at Lan You Nian, the meaning was very clear.
Good! Lan You Nian thought since he was willing, then why would she stop him. In her heart, she was more dependent on Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian agreed and left the bathing room, his mood was a lot better. Nian Nian has genuinely epted him. They have truly be two people who loved each other!
Chapter 126 - Feng Yi Xuan’s Fury
126 Feng Yi Xuans Fury

secretdreamwishes
Master! An Yi stood in front of Feng Yi Xuan, seeing that once his master left Miss Lan, his face turned cold.
Surround Feng Lin Ches residence, do not let a single fly in! Feng Yi Xuans voice was pricked with icicles. He will not let go of anything that hurt Nian Nian.
Yes! An Yi knew his master didnt immediately kill Feng Lin Che because Miss Lan want to go see it herself.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at the almost indiscernible traces of blood on his ck robes. Thinking that Nian Nian should be finished bathing, he immediately returned to the room. Sure enough, he saw Lan You Nian was already dressed as she walked out from the bathing room. Her smile was like a splendid flower, her eyes as illuminating as ck ze, her lips were dyed with dewdrops like cherry petals in bloom. That beautiful face due to taking a bath was dyed with ayer of magnificent pink, blooming with a soul-stirring charm, bright and colorful, almost burning Feng Yi xuans eyes.
Feng Yi Xuans throat moved with a little dryness. The girl in front was properly dressed, her figure hasnt even fully developed yet buting out from the fog, her hair like ck satin, Feng Yi Xuan didnt know why he had a sudden desire, a desire to melt this girl into his bones.
Deeply breathing to suppress the urge in his heart and body, Feng Yi Xuan walked towards Lan You Nian and carried the girl over to therge bed then wrapped her up in the nkets. He took out a clean towel to dry Lan You Nians hair. When the hair was nearly dry, heid Lan You Nian t on the bed.
Rest for a while, I will go change clothes! Feng Yi Xuan said. He wanted to sleep with Nian Nian but seeing his dusty self, he was afraid of dirtying this girl. Inside, he was worried if Lan You Nian was feeling difort. Thest time Lan You Nians menses came, her pain left a deep impression on him, making that every time Lan You Nians menses came, Feng Yi xuan was always anxious.
En, okay! You go take a bath! Lan You Nian because of her weak body and as well as having used martial arts, adding to her menses, she felt very tired. Now seeing this man who had mysophobia wearing a bloody clothes guarding her for quite a while, even going to change clothes, he was still worried, she didnt know whether tough or cry.
Good! Feng Yi xuan kissed Lan You Nians forehead, then hurried to the inner rooms to take a bath.
Lan You Nian had yet to sleep when she noticed Feng Yi Xuan walked out. It seems he was worried for her so he would be so fast. Even his hair was still dripping with water.
Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi xuan anxiously walk out. His facial features using unparalleled to describe him was a disgrace to him. His sharp eyebrows, blood-thirsty and soul-stealing purple eyes, thin but perfectly raised lips, an exquisite chin. Such a face, such posture, what kind of heavenly and earthly powers can create this. The usual fierce aura, due to the girl lying in bed, has be gentler. He was beautiful but not demonic, only because he was too sinful, too tempting. His body exuded a sort of devilish charm, beautiful as a devil, like a killer god.
Feng Yi Xuan picked up Lan You Nians towel she just used to dry his own hair then sat by the bed, cing his hand on Lan You Nians abdomen to massage, smiling, What are you looking at?
Lan You Nian allowed Feng Yi Xuan to massage her, and couldnt help augh, Looking at you. How are you so hot?
Hot? Feng Yi Xuan didnt understand what this word meant but when he saw Nian Nian earnestly looking at him, Feng Yi Xuan knew for certain that this word was praising him.
Lan You Nian suddenly remembered Feng Yi xuan didnt know what hot means. She put her small head on Feng Yi Xuans legs, looking at the mans exquisite chin and drooping eyes blooming with warm. She suddenly wanted to be like this forever.
Hot means youre good looking! Lan You Nian praised looking at Feng Yi xuans face. She felt Feng Yi Xuans face couldnt use hot to describe. Such an exquisite, unparralleled face, if there wasnt that brutal reputation, who knows how many women wants to climb his bed.
Feng Yi xuan has never liked people praising his face. He still remembered in the past there was a woman who obsessively stared at him, saying he looked good and wanted to marry him. He directly killed that woman. But now that these words came out of Nian Nians mouth, Feng Yi Xuan felt happy, grateful that he had such a peerless face, otherwise with Nian Nians beauty, the two wouldnt be a perfect match.
Without her knowing, Lan You Nian fell asleep. Feng Yi Xuan removed his outer robes and pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, the movement of his hands have yet to stop. Looking at the girl quietly sleeping, he felt satisfied. Nian Nian was already fourteen, just two more years, his Nian Nian would be of age. Then the two of them can marry, they could sleep together everyday. Thinking of such a beautiful dream, Feng Yi xuan also fell asleep.
When Lan You Nian woke up, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Feng Yi Xuans attention on her. Lan You Nian felt waking up in this warm embrace and in those eyes was a happy thing. Her life gradually came in a man named Feng Yi Xuan. He brought her warmth and happiness.
Awake? Feng Yi xuan kissed Lan You Nians eyes, asking softly.
Lan You Nian realized since she determined her heart, this man would often kiss her and has be even more intimate. Was this amon problem with men? However, with her little body, he still needed to wait two years, it would be quite miserable for him.
En! Because she was with Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian was still not fully awake. She looked very cute, Feng Yi Xuan couldnt help kiss her again.
Feng Yi xuan got up and walked out of the room. Within a few moments, he came in with a bowl of brown sugar water. He didnt know when Nian Nian would wake up so he kept it warm.
Drink a little! Feng Yi Xuan was ready to feed Lan You Nian. From the medical books, he knew that woman needed to drink brown sugar water once their menses came, so when Nian Nian was taking a bath, he had the kitchen make it.
Lan You Nian received the porcin bowl and drank the sweet syrup. She felt Feng Yi xuan took care of her like a daughter but she remembered a phrase, if a man cares about you, then he will pamper you like a daughter, love you like a woman. Feng Yi Xuan was the same.
Go see? Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan must have Feng Lin Che on surveince. To her enemies, especially an enemy that wanted to kill her, Lan You Nian wanted to get rid of it at its root. She didnt want such a person wanting to take her life all the time.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nians face was still a little pale. Besides, it was already veryte at night and with some disapproval, When your menses are over, you can go! Feng Yi Xuan is in the palm of his hands. He cant run away. They werent in a hurry. nothing is as important as Nian Nians body.
Lan You Nian thought that if she was always protected like this every time her menses came, it was boring just thinking about it.
Lan You Nian held Feng Yi Xuans slender warm hands, his nails were always clean and neat, his fingers were slender and his entire hand was much bigger than hers, although at every joint there was a callous, but it was wless, as she rarely acted pouted, Dont I have you?
One phrase Dont I have you told of LAn You Nians reliance and trust of Feng Yi Xuan. Although if this dependence and trust wasnt strong but for Lan You Nian who was always strong, it was rare. Feng Yi Xuan couldnt say anything to reject once these words came out. He realized he had no way to reject anything Nian Nian said.
Picking up Lan You Nian from the bed and wrapping her up in his robes, Feng Yi xuan said dotingly, Theres me!
He would be there for everything so Nian Nian didnt need to be worried, no need to be afraid, he was there!
When Feng Yi Xuan carried LAn You Nian to third wangyes manor, they noticed the residence was strangely silent....
Feng Lin Che for some reason felt flustered today. Originally, he could fight for the throne with the other wangye but because he wanted a disfigured woman, he not only lost face, he even lost the guards he has trained for many years. He didnt expect a girl he looked down on broke his financial backing, even let second wangye and fourth wangye impeach him from court.
In thest few days, he recalled many times the situation in Zhen Wei PAvilion of the idential murder. The more he thought about it, the more it didnt feel right. It was one thing after another just waitng for him toe. Whats more frustrating is that the one who designed all this was a woman.
Now, hes already far away from that position. Since its so, then he wanted Lan You Nian buried with him. He used up all his wealth to find so many killers to kill Lan You Nian but why hasnt he heard anything back? Moreover, he lost contact consort mother, the entire manor seemed to be surrounded. He couldnt get out. Who did this?
Lan You Nian looked at the anxious and flustered Feng Lin Che pacing around in his room, kindly voiced, Are you waiting for me?
Feng Lin Che looked up. He saw Feng Yi xuan carrying Lan You Nian into the room to sit. The twos posture was intimate and even looked well-matched. He even saw Lan You Nians peerless face. Feng Lin Che instantly understood.
You...so it was you! Feng Lin Che looked at Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan. He was wondering how a woman had such abilities to do so much, even killed off all his guards in the manor. It turns out it was all done by Feng Yi xuan.
En, now you know Lan You Nian smiled softly like spring breeze with a hint of coolness, her pink and attractive lips lifted, But isnt it a littlete?
This wang wondered why you werent willing to marry this wang, it turns out youve grabbed onto sixth brother! Feng Lin Che carefully checked out LAn You Nians face and figure, This wang thought you were so noble, it seems you are just a despicable whore!
Feng Yi xuans face hardened. His Nian Nian cant be insulted by others. His Nian Nian who he had in his heart is the best!
Feng Yi xuan carrying Lan You Nian instantly came in front of Feng Lin Che, one palmnded on the crown of Feng Lin Ches head. Feng Lin Ches eyes rolled over, blood flowed down from the top of his head down his eyes, nose, and mouth. His body slowly fell over.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian out of third wangye manor. Towards An Yi and the others, There is no longer third wangye manor in this world!
It only took a few moments for the entire third wangye manor to ignite with a raging fire. The once well-known third wangye Feng Lin Chepletely disappeared in that fire...
Chapter 127 - Bromance
127 Bromance
Today, with nothing to do, Lan You Nian was going to go to Xiao Jin Pavilion to see third brother. She wore a female outfit, entering Xiao Jin Pavilion from the back door.
Master! The old procuress now knew Lan You Nians identity. She was loyal to Wu Qing Pavilion and wont betray. Gui San was afraid Lan You Nians identity would be revealed, so he gave them a poison. It wasnt that he didnt trust them but just in case. The prioress understood this and was very much willing.
Where is third brother?
Third master isnt in the pavilion today, but masters friend Yu zhuangzhu and Heir Jing are in the third-floor box. The procuress replied.
Because they were familiar with each other and have be friends now, after Gui San and they have be familiar with each other, there was a box on the third floor that was specially reserved for them. That way, whichever property of Wu Qing Pavilion they visited, it would be much more convenient for them. Feng Xia Qi and the others were delighted by this when they knew, not for the box, but because of the consideration between friends.
Lan You Nian nodded and then headed towards Jing Wu ans box but when she neared it, the voices she heard made Lan You Nians lips curl with a wicked smile...
Yu Liu Li was dressed in blue robes, as enchanting as a fox demon, but without any feminity. His inner robes were half-open, revealing the white corbone, even more tempting than any woman. He watched as Jing Wu An came over slowly, his eyes shing with panic.
Speaking of which, his rtionship with Jing Wu An was a mess. He didnt know when, despite his appreciation for all kinds of beautiful women, he didnt feel anything towards them. But with Jing Wu An, his heart was moved. Even he was shocked. Ever since then, he suppressed the feelings in his heart and treated Jing Wu An as his friend. But he can feel the difference in Jing Wu Ans treatment of him.
Jing Wu Ans constant care and consideration of him, what made him gloomy was that he couldnt escape from his side, nor did he want to flee from his side. Like this, they cared about each other as a friend. He thought this kind of life was good the way it was.
But now they all havee of the age that they should raise a family. He Yu Liu Li was a person of the pugilistic world, as well as being the worlds number one zhuangzhu, his parents have already passed away, he didnt need to concern himself with that, but Jing Wu An was different. The marquis manor already started to seek out a suitable heir consort. Thinking of this, Yu Liu Li felt depressed inside, so he prepared to go back. He didnt want to continue to stay in the capital and watch him marry and have children. However, he didnt expect for Jing Wu An to invite i=him here to y, and...
How could Yu Liu Li have expected when he proposed that he will go back, this ck-bellied man actually kissed him! He, without a care to anything else, kissed him who was also a man! Because of this kiss, he broke the illusion they deliberately created. The paper window between them was ripped open by Jing Wu An.
You, how can you do this! Yu Liu Li threw away his usual yfulness and demanded in a panic.
Jing Wu An looked at Yu Liu Li, who was ring at with incredulous eyes. He didnt regret anything he did. Initially, he invited Yu Liu Li to Xiao Jin Pavilion to y, because Yu Liu Li was a person who knew how to enjoy things, he was willing to go along with his habits, but he didnt expect before they even drank a few cups of wine, he heard he wanted to leave the capital. He was angry, so he just kissed him.
Jing Wu An from a long time ago liked this man who appeared amorous and unruly but meticulous in his bones. Before, he thought that was only a fondness for a friend like a younger brother. Later, he realized that wasnt true. He liked Yu Liu Li. It was a possessive desire. He knew it was the affection of love.
Jing Wu An knew it was difficult for men to be together. He couldnt bear to see the carefree Yu Liu Li by cast aside by the world, so he suppressed his affection and thus guarded him as a friend. However, he didnt expect he wouldnt even give him this opportunity!
Jing Wu Ans bright eyes, skin white as jade, lips moist and plump, a towering nose, raven ck hair was tied with a red ribbon, under purple robes, an elegance gave birth to a seductiveness, he looked at the defensive Yu Liu Li, smiled bitterly, Why cant I do this? I have wanted to do this for a long time!
Yu Liu Li didnt expect Jing Wu An would be so straightforward, he looked at Jing Wu An bitterly, Why must you be so? I heard the Marquis is busy with your marriage!
I didnt agree, I wont marry a wife! Jing Wu An exined. He had never wanted to marry and have children, now he didnt nor will he in the future.
But you will eventually marry! Yu Liu Li stood up, We are impossible, are we not? Why torture each other?
Since I, Jing Wu An, cant let go of you, then I wont let go. If you are willing, we can find a ce that no one knows about and live a leisurely life! Jing Wu An really liked Yu Liu Li, so for Jing Wu An, what status of heir, prosperity and wealth and sess were not as important as being together with the man in front of him.
Yu Liu Li looked at Jing Wu An in surprise. He was not unaware of Jing Wu Ans affection for him. Wasnt he the same in love with this man? But their identities, their responsibility didnt allow them to be willful. He wasnt willing to let Jing Wu An abandon his talents and hide in the mountains.
Yu Liu Li looked at Jing Wu An silently. Only the heavens knew how much he wanted to agree to Jing Wu Ans proposal and be together. They wont give a care to society nor think about the future and simply be together. But he had a lot to consider, he couldnt open his heart to ept a man.
Yu Liu Li looked at Jing Wu An for a long time then took advantage of Jing Wu An inattention. He pressed Jing Wu ans acupuncture point, and flew away from Xiao Jing Pavilion, and left the capital.
Jing Wu An could only watch as Yu Liu Li left, unable to move. Inside, he was hurt, and his heart ached. He understood Yu Liu Lis concerns, but he will take care of it all. Why wont he believe in him?
Lan You Nian saw Yu Liu Li leave but didnt make any attempt to stop him. Instead, she walked into the room, looking at Jing Wu An and opened up his acupoints.
Jing Wu An looked at Lan You Nian with shock, thinking that his and Yu Liu Lis affairs were all heard by her but his Nianer meimeis eyes did not have any contempt, as if their love was normal. Jing Wu An felt better inside.
As soon as the acupuncture point was open, Jing Wu An was going to chase after Yu Liu Li, afraid that they will gradually drift away from each other.
Brother Wu An, if you trust Nianer, then dont go! Lan You Nian sat down saying to Jing Wu An who was right beside the window.
Jing Wu An heard Lan You Nians words and stopped. He always admired Lan You Nians sharp mind and wisdom. Seeing two men in love yet she can still ept it calmly, such a woman was rare in the world, probably only Feng Yi Xuan can match her.
Does Nianer meimei have a good idea? Jing Wu An asked with a pleading attitude. After all, after so many years, he and Yu Liu Li were still like this, now with much difficulty, the matter has been pushed out, but it was awful, he really didnt understand emotions very well.
Lan You Nian giggled. She can tell the two were truly in love with each other, but what was cruel was this world didnt allow the feelings between men. Jing Wu An was smart and resourceful but was too rushed with feelings. Yu Liu Li had too much to consider, so they became like this.
Brother Wu An, have you decided? Lan You Nian asked, If you decided, no matter what you are faced with, you cant back down!
I know our love isnt tolerated by the world, but I wont back down! Jing Wu An said. Before, he was lost and backed away, but it only exchanged for his pain, now he knew what he wanted, he wont back down or give up.
Lan You Nian was going to say something when she noticed Feng Xia Qi, Feng Yi Xuan, and Gui San entered the box. Lan You Nian stopped what she wanted to say.
Feng Yi Xuan sat beside Lan You Nian, looking at Lan You Nian, clearly unhappy. How could Nian Nian be alone with Jing Wu An? He confessed he was jealous.
Little junior sister is here, why didnt you inform me? If I didnt happen to meet with fourth wangye and Ming wang, I wouldnt even know yet! Gui San said dissatisfied.
Yeah, Nianer meimei came out to y yet didnt call us over, what is there to talk about with Jing Wu An, this ck-bellied person? Feng Xia Qi said, but his tone was just the teasing between friends.
Me? Im teaching Brother Wu An to chase his beloved Lan You Nianfortingly held Feng Yi Xuans big hands. Sure enough, Feng Yi Xuan who was just angry immediately pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, then threw Jing Wu An a re.
Feng Xia Qi was surprised. As good friends, they knew about Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lis matters. Although they tried to cover it up, it wasnt difficult to see.
Jing Wu An heard Lan You Nian say this so straightforwardly and couldnt help being embarrassed, nced at Lan You Nian and noticed Lan You Nian was looking at him.
If you dont even have the guts to tell others about your rtionship, then how can you have Brother Liu Li? Lan You Nian said, Your rtionship, the more it is hidden, then the women who desire you will be endless, have you thought about his feelings?
Jing Wu An instantly understood, yeah, they always worried about this, worried about that, even the true feelings for each other they didnt dare to bring to light, how can he give Liu Li any sense of security?
I like Liu Li, but things seem to be troublesome! Jing Wu said to Feng Yi Xuan and the others.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt any have expression. To him, it wasnt important whether Jing Wu An liked men or women, as long as it wasnt Nian Nian, it was good.
Feng Yi Xuan had a rough estimate, so he wasnt too surprised, only looked at Jing Wu An, If you like then fight for it, Nianer meimei has a lot of good ideas, you should listen more! After all, towards matters of emotions, them men dont understand anything. A girl would understand more, though Yu Liu Li wasnt female.
Oh? This master was wondering what the matter was, Gui San opened up his fan without a care, Little junior sister said that love isnt judged by nobility or lowly, as long as you are truly in love, who cares if youre man or woman!
Gui San even lowered his voice, but everyone heard it, Before little junior sister even advised me to find a man to live my days with, afraid I harm good woman!
Gui Sans voice just fell, everyone looked at Lan You Nian strangely, they couldnt imagine how Lan Yo Nian who was still just a child would have such an idea. But Jing Wu An felt he found a rare confidant. He can only depend on Lan You Nians n to chase by Yu Liu Li.
Lan You Nian smirked and revealed her n to the others. Jing Wu An eagerly nodded with admiration.
Chapter 128 - Yu Liu Li’s Return to the Capital
128 Yu Liu Lis Return to the Capital
secretdreamwishes
In an ancient building, in a bright and spacious hall, delicate and exquisite decorations made up a unique worlds number one vi. The secluded forest of white magnolia, along with gingko trees and camphor trees, with blue waves rippling across the surface of the fish pond, forming a fascinating beautiful scenery.
Yu Liu Li was sitting in the hall munching on exquisite pastries, but it was tasteless to his mouth. He thought he longed for the freedom in the pugilistic world, but when he returned, he realized he wasnt happy at all. Instead, he missed everything in the capital.
Suddenly, an eagle hovered around the sky for a while before flying down towards Yu Liu Li. Yu Liu Li stretched out an arm for the eagle to rest on. Yu Liu Li took down the message the eagle carried in his ws.
This eagle was Feng Yi Xuans pet, iparably better than the average pigeon. Not only was it fast, but it also wont be discovered by other people. Feng Yi Xuan rarely used this eagle to send him messages. There was probably some change in the capital. Yu Liu Li hurriedly opened the note.
Jing Wu An in danger, quickly rescue! There were only these seven words on the note. It was these seven words that scared Yu Liu Li out of his wits.
At this moment, because Yu Liu Li was worried about Jing Wu An, so he didnt overthink anything. They all knew what kind of person Feng Yi Xuan was. He wouldnt interfere with these matters. But Yu Liu Li has forgotten, Feng Yi Xuan had Lan You Nian who he loved to his bones, so...
To make Feng Yi Xuan help, Lan You Nian had to sacrifice some of her beauty, gave Feng Yi Xuan a kiss before Feng Yi Xuan used the eagle to send the letter to deceive Yu Liu Li.
Yu Liu Li made arrangements for all the matters in the vi and then immediately rode back in the direction of the capital. At this time, there was none of the so-called concerns and so-called society in Yu Liu Lis heart. He only kept ming himself in his heart as well as pleading for nothing to happen to Jing Wu An, he must be alright!
Master, Master Yu is already on the way to the capital! An Er reported to Feng Yi Xuan.
In Ming wang manors gardens sat Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian, as well as Gui San who wanted to join in the fun.
Nianer meimei, Liu Li will probably arrive in the capital in a few days, if he knew I lied to him, Im afraid... Jing Wu An said worriedly. After all, no one wants to be deceived.
Lan You Nian brewed each of them a cup of tea, her tone leisurely, You still need to do something these next few days. And who said you deceived him? You are indeed injured, and it is very grave.
As Jing Wu An listened, the more puzzled he became. Even Feng Xia Qi and the others didnt understand what Lan You Nian wanted to do. Only Feng Yi Xuan smiled as he gazed down at the cheeky Lan You Nian. Inside, he had a guess at what Lan You Nian wanted to do.
Brother Wu An, do you know what you need to do right now? the slight smile on Lan You Nians wless face gradually widened, so blinding that even the bright sunlight dimmed.
Injure myself then wait for Liu Lis arrival? Jing Wu An asked. Yu Liu Li took up every space in his heart that wanted to ept the feelings between them, no longer evading.
Lan You Nian leaned back, falling onto a broad chest, Brother Wu An if you want to be together with Brother Liu Li for a long time, then you shouldnt hide this rtionship. Your family should know so that in the future, they wont arrange for those women. It isnt that Brother Liu Li doesnt like you, but he is afraid. You have too many things you cant control. If you cant make him see, then I think its best if I tell Brother Liu Li to return to the vi!
Jing Wu An suddenly understood. He always thought it was best if there were fewer people who knew about their rtionship. He didnt realize that his actions made Yu Liu Li think he didnt ept this rtionship at all. If they didnt disclose their rtionship to the public, then his marriage was big trouble. Letting others know about their rtionship, this will make Liu Li feel at ease.
Then his injury? Feng Xia Qi was confused. After all, they used the excuse of Jing Wu An being in danger to deceive Yu Lu Li to return to the capital.
Feng Yi Xuan brought the tea over to Lan You Nians hands, nced coldly at his brother, Marquis is old-fashioned and strict, if he knew his son was a broken-sleeve (gay) and fell in love with the worlds first zhuangzhu, he would definitely break his legs, isnt this danger?
Feng Xia Qis lips twitched. He realized that ever since his younger brother had Lan You Nian with him, there were more words and his whole person has livened up a lot, but...Feng Xia Qi nced at Lan You Nian, his eyes shed dimly, disappearing with a sh...
Jing Wu An really felt Lan You Nian was clever to be able to think of this. If he told his father, his father would definitely beat him, then he will surely be injured. Therefore it cant be considered deceiving Yu Liu Li, and his efforts in doing so will make Liu Li see his heart, killing two birds with one stone.
Jing Wu An stood up, bowed to Lan You Nian then said, Brother thanks Nianer meimeis kindness, I didnt waste my love on you!
Feng Yi Xuan threw him a palm, his voice carried pressure, Nian Nian only needs me to love! You scram!
Jing Wu An blinked at Lan You Nian then immediately left Ming wang manor. Otherwise, he was afraid Feng Yi Xuan will beat him half to death. This Feng Yi Xuans care towards Nianer meimei was bing more and more serious. He was really careless making friends!
Feng Yi Xuan watched Jing Wu An leave, then nced at Feng Xia Qi and Gui San, his intention was self-evident, that is scram!
Feng Xia Qi had a feeling of a daughter is like the water that is dumped out. Although his brother had yet to marry in, seeing how much he treasured, Feng Xia Qimented how unfortunate he was. He even disdains his only brother.
Gui San took a sip of tea without a care, then solemnly said, Little junior sister is still very young, Ming wang be at your leisure. Shifu said if you crossed the line, then hell take little junior sister back to the Medical Valley!
Gui San can tell Feng Yi Xuans good, and spoiling of little junior sister was even betterpared to them senior brothers. Little junior sister also had feelings for Feng Yi Xuan. Although they didnt want little junior sister to enter into this kind of noble family, they cant help little junior sister make decisions. Feng Yi Xuan was almost twenty while little junior sister was only fourteen. Although from the outside rumors, this Feng Yi Xuan didnt like women to be near him, now he had little junior sister, its inevitable he had some impulsiveness, so he will deliberately remind them.
Feng Xia Qi was currently sipping tea, when he heard Gui Sans words, he sprayed out the liquid in his mouth. Gui San was simply too direct!
Feng Yi Xuan looked down at Lan You Nian, his affection for the girl written on his eyebrows, This wang knows. I wont do anything to harm Nian Nian! He knew how weak and young Nian Nians body was. Even if sometimes he desired it, butpared to Nian Nians health, he can bear anything. Right now, what worried him most was the poison in Nian Nians body...
Lan You Nian smiled. She didnt blush because of Gui Sans words. She knew that Feng Yi Xuan sometimes desired her, but more of it, it was his sympathy for her, this man wont hurt her because of a temporary impulse, she trusted him.
Yu Liu Li hurried to the capital without making any stops. Finally, three dayster, he arrived in the capital. He didnt even have time to eat or sleep. He looked much more haggard, his unrestrained attitude all gone.
Feng Yi Xuan has already received the news of Yu Liu Lis arrival in the capital, so he already had Nian Nian wait in Ming wang manor with him. Lan You Nian at first wasnt willing, but since she helped, then shell help to the end. If she let Feng Yi Xuan lie, it will most definitely be revealed. It wasnt that he couldnt lie, simply he condescend to do so.
Although Feng Yi Xuan at first was dissatisfied with Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lis matters, because they made Nian Nian pay attention to them all day, but now he felt it wasnt bad. It was because of their matters that he had the opportunity to make Nian Nian stay with him all day.
Yu Liu Li directly entered Ming wang manor. He knew Feng Yi Xuan was currently in the garden. He used qinggong toe over and saw Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian. Yu Liu Li didnt even have a chance to breathe before he asked, Whats wrong with Wu An? What happened?
Feng Yi Xuan didnt bother to answer this question, so Lan You Nian purposely acted troubled as she asked, Do you know Brother Wu An loves you very much?
Yu Liu Lis entire body was frozen in ce, then with some evasion, as he said, Nianer meimei, you know everything?
Lan You Nian sighed, thinking that this match-making stuff was really a headache, if these two werent her friends, and were rtively important to Feng Yi Xuan, she wouldnt be the middle person.
Brother Liu Li, why are you lowering your head? Do you feel your feelings are lowly? Lan You Nians voice was slightly cold.
No, our feelings arent any different than the feelings between men and women. We are sincere, Yu Liu Li refuted.
In this case, why are you still hesitating? One lifetime is only a few decades, if you dont fight for your feelings, when you are old, all youre left with is a heart of regret! Lan You Nian said gravely. Feng Yi Xuan kept ying with her little hands, making her unable to say the words she prepared in advance.
Yes, I am cowardly, Nianer meimei is right! Yu Liu Li felt he called himself carefree and unrestrained, he didnt even understand such simple truths. What is he Yu Liu Li afraid of? He wasnt afraid of a poor reputation, nor was he afraid of the contempt of the world, he was only afraid he will let Jing Wu An slip away.
Yi Xuan, why did you say Wu An was in danger? Yu Liu Li was in a panic thinking about Jing Wu Ans maters. This time, he wont leave.
Hes in marquis manor! Feng Yi Xuan said with some impatience. If Nian Nian were a male, he wouldnt have so many concerns. Anyways, he liked, he loved, then no matter what Nian Nians identity is, he wont let go.
Yu Liu Li heard this immediately flew out of Ming wang manor, heading towards marquis manor.
It seems Brother Wu An will have his wish granted! Lan You Nian smiled.
Nian Nian Feng Yi Xuan uttered dissatisfied, You dont care about me all this time, only care about them!
Is it? Lan You Nian kissed Feng Yi Xuans thin lips, Youre in my heart!
Chapter 129 - Blessing
129 Blessing
secretdreamwishes
Yu Liu Li flew into marquis manor. He didnt disturb any of marquis manors guards. With familiarity, he came to Jing Wu ans room,
Jing Wu Anid on the bed. Yu Liu Li could see his back has been whipped, leaving a series of blood scars behind, and his legs were severely bruised by a staff. Jing Wu An who was usually ck-bellied smirking seemed to be groggily sleeping, even not even aware of his arrival in the room.
It wasnt that Yu Liu Li has never seen Jing Wu An injured. All these years, they followed Feng Yi Xuan wandering, it was verymon to be injured, but those were all injuries that couldnt be helped. Yu Liu Li can tell Jing Wu Ans injuries were voluntary.
Wu An! Yu Liu Lis heart ached to look at Jing Wu Ans injury. He couldnt figure out why Jing Wu An would be injured.
Jing Wu An felt his body was burning with pain. His martial arts werent particrly good, so after being beat by his father, he fell unconscious. Seeing the man he liked returned to the capital, Jing Wu Ans lips hooked into a smile, but it made Yu Liu Li me himself even more.
Its all my fault. If I didnt leave, how could you be injured? Yu Liu Li said painfully. Between the two of them, it had always been Jing Wu An making ns while he used his martial arts and other forces. For Jing Wu an to be alone, it wouldnt be safe. Yu Liu Li felt he was being too dramatic for a man. Just as Nianer meimei said, a lifetime was only so long, why consider and consider that?
Jing Wu Ans lips were cracked, but there were no words of me orints towards Yu Liu Li, Its not your fault, I was willing!
Speaking of this, Yu Liu Li was very angry, helped up Jing Wu An to feed him a cup of water, Yu Liu Li asked strangely, How were you injured?
Jing Wu An didnt get to answer when he heard the old Marquiss furious voice as he walked in. Beside the old Marquis was Feng Xia Qi.
Yu Liu Li hurriedly stood up and showed his respects, Marquis! Towards Jing Wu Ans father, Yu Liu Li felt guilty. After all, his rtionship with Jing Wu An will probably implicate the Marquiss lifetime reputation.
Feng Xia Qi shot Jing Wu An a reassuring look. Hising to marquis manor was arranged by Lan You Nian. When Jing Wu An admitted to his feelings, he will most definitely be punished. There must be someone to be the peacemaker. At first, Lan You Nian wanted Feng Yi Xuan to be this peacemaker but thinking of Feng Yi Xuans paralyzed face, Lan You Nian threw away this idea. She didnt wish for just when the Marquis decided to show some mercy, but then after being stirred up by Feng Yi Xuan, he will beat him (JWA) to death, then the loss would outweigh the gains.
I already know about the matter between you two! The Marquis said, looking at Yu Liu Li. He orinally thought his son was already grown up. He should start a family so he arranged for some suitable youngdies from good families. He didnt expect his son to tell him he had someone he loved. At first, he was delighted. After all, his son hasnt been interested in any woman all these years. But when he heard his son say he liked a man, the Marquis nearly fainted on the spot from anger.
The unrestrained worlds first zhuangzhu was scared by the old Marquiss words, unable to utter a word. Cautiously looking at the old Marquis who seemed to be angry, he thought of Nianer meimeis words. Yu Liu Li shut his eyes and fell down on his knees in front of the old Marquis.
Jing Wu An was stunned by Yu Liu Lis actions. He knew of Yu Liu Lis bone-deep pride. For him to do this, he must genuinely care about him!
I really love Wu An. I know this love isnt tolerated by the world, but I cant let go of it nor can I forget it. Please ask for Marquiss blessings! yu Liu Lis eyes opened, sincerely looking at the Marquis, the emotions inside was apparent at a nce.
The old Marquis didnt say anything, nor did he let Yu Liu Li get up. Jing Wu An looked at this with heartache and then got up to simrly kneel down, but he was red at by old Marquis.
Father! Jing Wu An shouted dejectedly, he knew his fathers anger, but he didnt want father to make things difficult for Yu Liu Li.
Feng Xia Qi thought that Nianer meimei probably already knew of such an awkward situation so she would ask him toe. Feng Xia Qi then thought of Nianer meimei agreed that if hepleted the task, she would personally bring out the wine she brewed herself for everyone to taste. From Gui San, he knew the wine brewed by Nianer meimei was the best in the world, so for that wine, he had to interfere in this matter.
Uncle, you already saw Wu Ans heart and Liu Lis determination, in this world, you can control anything except love! Feng Xia Qi said to help the situation.
The old Marquis is the former empresss older brother, also Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuans uncle. The Marquis has liked Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan since they were little so some of Feng Xia Qis words sunk in for the old Marquis. He just couldnt ept it momentarily. He wasnt a ruthless person.
The Marquis nced at Yu Liu Li, who knelt with a straight back on the ground. He was familiar with Yu Liu Li. He often came to the manor to find his son. He very much liked this unrestrained man, he could only me the fact they are both men, but now it was like this, what could he do?
Get up! Marquis said to Yu Liu Li.
Yu Liu Li nced at Jing Wu An and then stood up in front of the Marquis, like a little wife.
You have such courage, my sons defiance of this Marquis was not in vain. He even said if in this life he cant be together with you, he will be like a walking corpse, wont get better with a beating, scolding wont wake him up. My son really likes you! The Marquis calmed his own state of mind. A few days ago, he didnt agree to his sons so-called feelings then from a rush of fury, he used the family discipline on him. However, even when he beat his son till his skin yed open and his flesh torn, he didnt show any signs of retreat.
The Marquis still remembered the words Jing Wu an said then, Father, I love him. If in this life, I cant be together with him, this body, this soul wont be able to live on. I know about the worldly view, but as long as I can be with Liu Li, I can face anything!
The Marquis still remembered that he was shocked when he heard this. His son, he knew very well. He knew that everything Jing Wu An said was the truth. If he really cant be with Yu Liu Li, he will spend the rest of his days in regret.
Yu Liu Li looked at the weak Jing Wu An and felt more moved inside. He didnt expect when he was still evading and hesitating, this man dared to show their feelings to the public. To obtain the approval of his family, he would rather be injured thanpromise. Yu Liu Li felt it was enough, it was really enough. With such a person beside him, what was there to fear in the future?
Marquis, sorry! Yu Liu Li knew for the Marquis to say this he has agreed to their affairs. Towards this elder, Yu Liu Li felt he owed him. After all, he and Jing Wu Ans feelings, as more and more people knew about it, it will affect the Marquiss reputation.
The Marquis sighed, No matter, I have lived most of my life, what havent I gone through before, what kind of gossip havent I heard before? If I separate the two of you, Im afraid this love between father and son will disappear!
The Marquis has been on the battlefield, has stood in the courts. He had a broader view of the world. Once a person has be old, all they wished for was their childrens well-being. He didnt ask for anything, everything simply let the children do what they want.
Yu Liu Li helped Jing Wu An off the bed, the two knelt in front of the Marquis and kowtowed, their gratitude couldnt be expressed with words.
Feng Xia qi helped the two up, smiling, Uncle, you see, whose familys daughter inw has Liu Lis abilities, has a good face, has power. Besides, living unrestrainedly, walking upon this mortal ne wouldnt be in vain Feng Xia Qi poured a cup of tea for the Marquis, smiled more like a fox, And you have such a daughter inw is truly impressive, who canpare?
The Marquis revealed a smile hearing Feng Xia Qis words, then nced at Yu Liu Li. Indeed, a good child that was hard toe by, he felt slightly better inside.
It seems theres still something you are hiding from this marquis, the Marquis looked at his son then at Feng Xia qi.
Yu Liu Li looked at Jing Wu an strangely, puzzled.
~cough~cough~, how did you know uncle? Feng Xia Qi asked. He felt he did very well.
The Marquis red at his nephew, hating iron for not turning into steel saying, You and Wu An are what kind of tempers, I wouldnt know? To say such heart-touching words isnt your style. This person deliberately had Wu An tell me to provoke me, I will definitely implement the family discipline. When Jing Wu An bes so weak, as a father, how can I not ache? Then youe to be the peacemaker. Now even Liu Li this child has been schemed in, coincidentally letting me see the feelings between them, how can this Marquis not agree?
Feng Yi Xuan embarrassedly nced at his uncle. Yu Liu Li wasnt upset by this scheme. After all, if it wasnt due to this, he didnt know if he and Wu An would let each other slip by, then in this life...
Speak, who is the person who helped you? The Marquis asked curiously.
Father, it is Lan manors legitimate daughter Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei! Jing Wu An knew they couldnt conceal it anymore and admitted to it. In any case, father already epted their feelings for each other.
The Marquis pondered for a moment, It turns out to General Lans daughter, indeed has a nimble mind, no wonder you recognize her as your younger sister.
Uncle, Nianer meimei knows uncle loves wine very much, so specially brewed this fruit wine, it can nourish the body as well as satisfy your craving! Feng Xia qi felt Nianer meimei was truly gifted, even guessed that uncle would be able to figure out there was someone pushing this behind the scenes and knew uncle was particrly addicted to alcohol but because of physical reasons cant drink, so had him bring a jar.
The Marquis was curious. He has heard this girls many rumors. Miss Miao Yins good name can recite poetry and write couplets talent, was probably much smart than this son of his.
Then why havent you given it to me! The Marquis said with a stern face, but in fact, he was craving for it.
Feng Xia Qi pped his hands, An Yi brought in a jar of wine then disappeared. The Marquis couldnt wait to open the jar of wine, instantly, a burst of wine fragrance mixed with fruit filled the room. Compared to the royal wine in the pce, it was much better. The Marquis immediately sealed the jar, but in fact, he already started to swallow his saliva.
Since you recognized a sister, then bring back to the manor, no matter what you cant let the girl be bullied outside! the Marquis finished then left hugging the jar of wine.
What to recognize a sister? Father probably hopes Nianer meimei to brew more jars of wine for him! Jing Wu An tugged Yu Liu Lis hang, Nianer meimei is the cleverest!
Its great! Yu Liu Li said happily, they can finally be together.
En, its great!
Chapter 130 - Gui Wu Meets Trouble
130 Gui Wu Meets Trouble
secretdreamwishes
Inside the wine-scented You Nian Pavilion, Zhang Lin and the others stood outside, not allowing anyone to enter. Those who didnt know would think something unpresentable was happening inside, who knew that You Nian Pavilion was in perfect harmony.
In stone gazebo of You Nian Pavilions garden, sat Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan, Jing Wu An, Yu Liu Li, Feng Xia qi, and Gui San, as well as He Chu Yang who arrived without dy upon hearing the news.
Tsk tsk, Nianer meimei such good wine, Mo Xian didnt get to taste it, its really a pity! He Chu Yang took a sip of the fruit wine, a pure fragrance overflowed, warming the heart.
How could anything be more important than junzhu? The two of them didnt get to spend time together recently, who knows where theyve gone to have a heart to heart? Feng Xia Qiughed. Lan Mo Xian if he werent busy with the matters of the army, he would be out chasing his love.
Since he has warm and fragrant jade in his arms, Nianer meimei cant leave him any fragrant wine! Yu Liu Li gloated, after all, todays fruit wine was only that one and two jars, it wasnt enough for them to drink.
Since he didnte then there isnt any wine to drink, however speaking of which, dont you have warm and fragrant jade in your arms? Lan You Nian teased. Because Jing Wu Ans injuries haventpletely recovered, the two were very intimate with each other.
~cough couch~... Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li coughed in embarrassment at the same time. Although the two have announced their rtionship but to be joking about it like this was a little embarrassing.
How is he warm and fragrant jade? Jing Wu Ans body isnt soft, am I right little junior sister? Gui San joined in the ranks of teasing them.
Indeed, Lan You Nian carefully looked at Yu Liu Li and Jing Wu An, making the two of them feel their hairs raise. When Feng Yi Xuan felt incredibly dissatisfied, she retracted her gaze to look at Feng Yi Xuan, curiously asking him, Say, who is on top, whos on the bottom?
~Pu!~
~Pu!~
Besides the guilty party Lan You Nian, all the other people sprayed, even Feng Yi Xuan was no exception. They didnt expect Lan You Nian to ask such a straightforward and shameful question.
Feng Yi Xuan elegantly wiped the wine on the corner of his lips, then red at Lan You Nian, but there wasnt any sternness in those eyes only pampering, and sighed, Who taught you these?
No one taught me? Lan You Nian was puzzled, then looked at Feng Xia Qi and the others, Dont you want to know?
~Pu!~
Little junior sister! Gui San helplessly touched his forehead, this little junior sister of his seemed like otherworldly, but if she was with someone who made her feel at ease, then her obliviousness will be apparent, the naughtiness in her bones will gradually reveal the cuteness of her other side.
Third brother, dont you want to know? Nianer is sure youre the one who wants to know the most! Lan You Nian stuck her tongue at him mischievously.
Feng Yi Xuan pressed such a cute Lan You Nian who made him like her even more to his chest, otherwise looking at Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lis blushing faces, there wouldnt be an end to this thing. Feng Yi Xuan came closer to Lan You Nians ear, his voice low that only the two of them can hear, Whos on top whos on the bottom I dont know but if it is us, then I know...
Lan You Nian red with her innocent and pure big eyes at Feng Yi Xuan, her cheeks became red. She didnt expect such a pure-love Feng Yi Xuan could say such a thing, just who led her man astray?
Lan You Nian covered her red cheeks with her hands, unhappily looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She always thought it should be her teasing Feng Yi Xuan. She didnt expect the tables to turn and to be teased back, she wasnt happy, very unhappy!
Feng Yi Xuan can see Lan You Nians bashfulness. He wondered if he was being too impetuous but only with Nian Nian would he unconsciously be like this.
To coax his precious treasure happy, Feng Yi Xuans eyes shot at Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li, Talk!
Yu Liu Li furiously red at Feng Yi Xuan. How did he make such a friend who puts beauty before friends? To coax Nianer meimei happy again, he hung his friends out to dry! Yu Liu Li looked at Jing Wu An, meaning to have him say it, dont ask him why he didnt resist, that is if you dare to resist against Feng Yi Xuan, then youre dead!
Jing Wu Ans initially pale face due to his injuries after drinking fruit wine that wasnt harmful to the body and upon Lan You Nians words, his color was much better, helplessly looked at Lan You Nian who hid in Feng Yi Xuans arms giggling mischievously, Havent tried it yet, dont know yet!
Little junior sister, lets make a bet! Gui San feared the word wasnt in enough chaos and said, Bet who is on top and bottom! If you lose, you brew some jars of wine, if you win, you choose the conditions!
Since youre betting, then I will join too! We join in with Gui Sans side! Feng Xia Qi and He Chu Yang also joined in.
Lan You Nian shot Feng Yi Xuan a nce, meaning that he would ce the bet. Feng Yi Xuan nodded. Towards Nian Nians trust and dependence on him, he was very satisfied.
If you lose, then on brother and Mu Qing jiejies wedding day, you double the red envelopes! Lan You Nian said. Everyone was simply happy to y around, betting wasnt important, so Lan You Nian casually said this.
Alright! Everyone agreed,pletely forgetting the interested parties Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lis thoughts. The two looked at each other helplessly shrugging their shoulders, but they were relieved by their friends calm eptance of their rtionship.
Jing Wu an up top! Feng Yi Xuan was straightforward then ignored everyone else to sip on his wine.
Lan You Nian smiled happily as she looked at such a smart man. Based on martial arts, Yu Liu Li was much more powerful, but Jing Wu An was simply too ck-bellied, every time he didnt allow Yu Liu Li any advantages, it would be the same on the bed.
Gui San pped Yu Liu Lis shoulders, Liu Li, you have to work hard, otherwise my money...
Yu Liu Li red at the culprit Lan You Nian, but that ce was discovered by Feng Yi Xuan. Yu Liu Li trembled as he retreated his gaze, pitifully looked at Jing Wu An. Jing Wu An ck-bellied smirked, already considering how to drag Yu Liu Li to bed inside!
Gui San, you are Wu Qing Pavilion and Xiao Jin Pavilions manager, do youck money? Master Wu Qing wouldnt be so stingy? Yu Liu Li asked. Now that they knew about Nianer meimeis rtionship with Gui San and the others, they have never heard them talk about Master Wu Qing so was very curious.
One or two silvers is still money, this master knows how to live afortable life! Gui San said with plenty of narcissism.
Master, Miss Lan! An Yi appeared in You Nian courtyard, Today Gui San went to Zhen Wei Pavilion to eat and now has Yues third princess clinging to him, theyre still in Zhen Wei Pavilion!
Gui San shot up prepared to go to Zhen Wei Pavilion. Amongst their brothers, Gui San was the most innocent and in the aspects of martial arts and such, he was the weakest. Besides little junior sister, everyone worried most about Gui Wu.
Third brother dont worry, Xuan and I will go! Lan You Nian said. Yues princess already involved matters of the imperial court, if Gui San were to stand out now, it wouldnt be suitable.
En, alright, you guys go! Gi San knew Lan You Nians abilities. Besides, there was also a Feng Yi Xuan. They wouldnt let Gui Wu suffer any losses. Feng Xia Qi and the others werent worried. After all, once Feng Yi Xuan took up the matter, everyone hand to stay on the back burner. This was the conclusion they havee to after many years.
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian arrived at Zhen Wei PAvilion, they noticed in the hall downstairs was Gui Wu and a woman, ording to An Yi, Yues third princess. It seems every countries emissaries have already started to pour into Feng but didnt expect for this princess to not follow the national ceremonial procession.
Get out of the way! Gui San hardened his baby face towards this Yues princess Yue Qian Ling who was blocking the way.
Gui San wore white today, without a stain of dust, as if white lotus remaining aloof from the rest of the world, especially those pair of big watery eyes, resplendent as the sun and moon, as eye-catching as the stars. His skin has returned to their whiteness from Gui Yis medicinal diet he prescribed. As if a concentration of ayer of radiance, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be concentrated on this young man, making people intoxicated unable to extricate themselves.
On the opposite side of Gui Wu was Fengs princess Yue Qian Ling who was wearing a yellow brocade embroidered with phoenix, a slightly sweeping the floor pink flowy skirt, with a soft emerald gauze wrap around her wrists. A bloom of peony was inserted into her beautiful hairstyle, making her seem like a beautifully decorated woman, but that arrogance made people dislike.
Gui Wu often trained himself in Ming army, but he wasnt considered one of Ming armys members. Sometimes he would evene out to y. Today originally he wanted toe to Zhen Wei Pavilion to bring back some delicious food back to the military camp, to give everyone a taste but didnt expect as soon as he entered the restaurant to be osted by a woman. He can tell this womans identity was not andy of an ordinary family. If he hastily killed her, it will bring trouble to Nianer meimei, so he was entangled to this time.
This princess wants you to be my servant! Yue Qian Ling said arrogantly, her arrogance was different than Bai Lians. Bai Lian had pride in the bones while she was unreasonable arrogance.
Such arrogance! Lan You Nian stood on third floors room saying but didnt go down to take care of it but continued to watch.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at the situation below, then said, Nian Nian dont be angry. If you dont like just kill okay?
Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuan was serious. This man really puts her first for everything, even the country had to stay in the back burner, otherwise, why didnt he consider the state of the two countries instead of her mood.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who hated he couldnt hug her every moment of the day. Her anger that had just risen because of Yue Qian Ling instantly disappeared.
Its nothing, lets continue to look! Lan You Nian smiled. Feng Yi Xuan carefully looked at Lan You Nian, found she wasnt angry and released his breath. He didnt want Nian Nian to be angry, anger hurts the body. He hoped that even Nian Nians tears were due to happiness.
Chapter 131 - Yue Qian Ling
131 Yue Qian Ling
secretdreamwishes
Go away! Dont me me for not being polite! Gui Wu snapped at Yue Qian Ling, but due to his cute baby face, there was no fear-inducing momentum behind it.
Yue Qian Ling wasnt afraid. She was a princess. She was used to being unrestrained without any regards to thews. Usually, when she sees something she wants, whether its a person or thing, she will obtain it. Many of the servants in her pce were snatched by her. The man in front of her while not very handsome but he was cute. She wanted such a man to serve her.
Take him down! Yue Qian Ling snapped at the apanying guards.
As soon as a number of the guards heard this, they ran towards Gui Wu ready to take Gui Wu down. It seems their actions were practiced. They probably did this pretty often.
Although Gui Wus martial arts wasnt as good as Gui Si and the others,pared to the average person, it was much better. When the guards neared him, he simply ughtered them. Although he didnt like killing, that didnt mean he didnt have a temper. In this world, besides little junior sister, if other women wanted him to take care of them and wait on them, he just wanted to kill!
Yue Qian Ling was shocked by Gui Wus sudden attack. She took out the long red whip she carried with her to give Gui Wu a whipping.
Lan You Nians eyes shed with ice. Yue Qian Lings martial arts might not be high, but the whip in her hands has been applied with poison. Once hit with that whip, the average person will bleed from all seven orifices and die within a few days.
Lan You Nian didnt have any feelings towards these things, but if someone used these things against the people she cared for, then that person would be provoking her, Lan You Nian.
REPORT THIS AD
Gui Wu also discovered the poison on Yue Qian Lings whip. No matter what you say, he was still Gui Yi Zis disciple. How could he not be able to figure this out? Gui Wu wondered if he can kill this princess. If he killed, will it bring trouble to Zhen Wei Pavilion? Will it bring trouble to little junior sister?
Princess Qian Ling might be a little too overbearing. This person from the looks of it is my Feng countrys citizen. Princess Qian Ling doesnt give any regard to thews of another country? Or is it that Princess Qian Ling looks down on Feng country? Lan You Nian walked down saying to Yue Qian Ling who was prepared to attack.
Miss Miao Yin... Many people in the hall who were eating excitedly gave their greetings. Many people here were Lan You Nians fans. Hearing the contents of Lan You Nians words, their gazes on Yue Qian Ling werent kind. Many of the people in Zhen Wei Pavilion eating were the nobility of Feng country. Even if they did not have a strong sense of patriotism, but they would not allow a woman to look down on their country, let alone that Feng countrys Feng Yi Xuan campaigns have made them even strong than several other countries.
Lan You Nian greeted everyone warmly. Although her temperament was slightly aloof, she knew not to easily underestimate anyone. Because the people who most often put you to death were the people you werent concerned about or looked down on, let alone in the ancient times, why find so many enemies for yourself? But if someone provoked her...
You are that Miss Miao Yin? Yue Qian Ling looked down her nose at Lan You Nian, It seems the rumors that you are an ugly girl is true!
As soon as Yue Qian Lings words came out, Lan You Nian had yet to get angry, Gui Wu and many people in the hall were angry. Lan You Nian nced at the third floor, not allowing Feng Yi Xuan to make a move. She felt her man was too good looking. If Yue Qian Ling took a liking to him, she would be very angry.
REPORT THIS AD
Feng Yi Xuan was overjoyed by Lan You Nians blunt possessiveness. He hated Nian Nian couldnt look at him all day. This way, he would be able to see Nian Nian at any time.
Lan You Nian knew the rumors of her face being ruined will cause a lot of gossip for her but even, so Lan You Nian didnt want to reveal her face. It wasnt that she was too narcissistic but simply that her face was beautiful to the point of angering both humans and gods. After a few years, it will probably be even more attractive. At that time, this face may not be a good thing. Besides, she already found the man she wanted to walk hand in hand with. She didnt care.
What are you saying? Is a princess, so without any manners? Gui Wu cant bear to see anyone bully his little junior sister.
Yue Qian Ling saw Gui Wu was so protective of Lan You Nian, the angrier she was. At first, she was attracted to this exquisite looking man, but this man not only didnt he want to go with her, he even helped an ugly troll. Yue Qian Ling was prepared to hurt Lan You Nian.
Manager, drag Yues third princess out! Lan You Nian didnt wait for Yue Qian Ling to make a move and set down orders, In the future, Zhen Wei Pavilion does not wee Princess Qian Ling!
Originally Lan You Nian wanted to kill this Yue Qian Ling, but if she really killed a princess, especially under such a situation, the two countries will use this as an excuse to start a war. Once a war is started, then Feng Yi Xuan will definitely go on the battlefield, let alone General Lan, Lan Jian Jun.
Although Lan You Nian gave orders to the manager, the ones who acted were An Yi and An Si. Yue Qian Ling had some skill of her own, and with her poisonous whip, the manservants wouldnt be able to deal with it. So when Lan You Nian said the word, Feng Yi Xuan had An Yi, and An Si appear.
The two wholly ignored Yue Qian Lings identity as a princess and struck her acupuncture point and threw her out.

Because Yue Qian Lings arrogance in Feng made many people disgusted, as well as because of Yue Qian Lings blunt insult to Lan You Nian, made many schrly people when passing by the paralyzed Feng Qian Ling all spit at her.
When has Yue Qian Ling ever received such treatment? When her guards arrived, she prepared to have them seal Zhen Wei Pavilion, but she didnt expect soldiers from the army to block them. Not only was Feng Qian Ling shocked, but the people who wanted to watch the fun were also shocked. None of them expected that a small Zhen Wei Pavilion had the imperial court as its backstage and made it so open and aboveboard.
Xuan, did you bring over the Ming army under you? Lan You Nian watched as Yue Qian Lings people were put down by these army people. These soldiers had an oppressive killing aura. Their footsteps were steady, much betterpared to the average soldier. When Lan You Nian thought about it, Ming army popped into her mind.
En, Feng Yi Xuan admitted to it. In fact, he had his own secret scheme. He knew even if Yue Qian Ling wanted to find trouble with Zhen Wei Pavilion, it wasnt possible. That Master Wu Qing wasnt vegetarian (idiom: has a backbone, wont let people walk all over him). But Feng Yi Xuan felt his woman he will protect himself. She can y and make trouble as much as she wants.
Does this count as abusing your authority? Lan You Nian asked. If the average person dared to dispatch soldiers, he would probably be dered guilty of rebellion.
Ming army doesnt belong to Feng but belongs to I Feng Yi Xuan. It also belongs to you, Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan picked up Lan You Nian. Because Lan You Nian was petite and slender, Feng Yi Xuan hugging her, it was just like holding a child.
Lan You Nian understood Feng Yi Xuans meaning. He was telling her no matter what she did, he will always be behind her. He had the ability to protect her!

Master, Miss Lan! An Yi looked at the news in his hands and nced at his master.
Speak! Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel there was a need to hide anything from Nian Nian. He wouldnt do anything that will wrong Nian Nian.
Recently, the Empress seems to be eyeing Miss Lan. She already started to disperse money to try to hire killers to kill Miss Lan! An Yi was angry regarding this. Who is Miss Lan? She was their Ming wang manors future matriarch, their masters precious treasure.
Oh? Lan You Nian smiled and asked, Is the Empress very rich?
Feng Yi Xuan originally was angry he wanted to kill but seeing such a cute Nian Nian curled up in his arms, there wasnt any anger left, nodded, Decent but not as rich as me! Nian Nian wants money?
Lan You Nian was going to say something, Feng Yi Xuan continued, An Yi, give all of this wangs properties to Nian Nian, and..
Dont! Lan You Nian covered Feng Yi Xuans thin lips. She knew Feng Yi Xuan was very rich, but she didntck either.
Isnt your money my money too? Lan You Nian gave Feng Yi Xuan a unting look. Feng Yi Xuan nodded dotingly, not only was the money Nian Nians, his person was Nian Nians too.
I heard the Empress recently sorted out the most valuable ancient calligraphy and paintings in the pce and is preparing to hold an appreciation banquet before the exchange banquet of the various countries takes ce? Lan You Nian asked.
Yes, every year the Empress will hold an appreciation banquet, those calligraphy and paintings have been collected by the pce for many years, as well as many that are collected by the various houses. When the banquet is over, it will be put back or returned to their houses! An Yi reported all he knew to Lan You Nian.

What do you want to do? En? Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nians eyes turning and knew she had an idea.
Do you have a capable person who can duplicate these calligraphy and paintings? Lan You Nian asked. She knew Feng Yi Xuans forces were bigger than it seemed. The two have already exchanged their hearts, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Lan You Nian was willing to rely on this man sometimes.
There were many capable people under Feng Yi Xuan that he sometimes couldnt remember, so Feng Yi Xuan nced at An Yi. An Yi instantly replied, Answering Miss Lan, master does have a person who can imitate calligraphy and paintings, but fake is fake, there is still a difference!
Its best if theres a difference! Lan You Nian smiled evilly, You steal the calligraphy and paintings and then send it to Xiao Jin Pavilion to third brother!
Yes! An Yi agreed instantly disappearing to go steal the calligraphy and paintings. Dont ask him why he didnt ask his masters thoughts. Master currently pampered Miss Lan without any principles, not just to go steal calligraphy and paintings, even to steal the imperial jade seal, master will do it!
Nian Nian wants to steal these calligraphy and paintings so that the Empress has nowhere to go then spend a lot of money to buy these fake calligraphy and paintings and then finally expose it! Feng Yi Xuan wasnt questioning but affirming. From the moment Nian Nian asked about it, he could guess what Nian Nian wanted to do.
Lan You Nian gave thumbs up to Feng Yi Xuan inside. This man, dont know whether his thoughts were the same as hers, or he was too smart, he could so quickly understand what she wanted to do. Fortunately, he wasnt the enemy. Lan You Nian still remembered thest time she went to pick the fragrant lotus. When she saw Feng Yi Xuans back, she knew this man spelled danger. At that time, she would never have imagined she would be together with this man.
Chapter 132 - The Plan
132 The n
secretdreamwishes
When night came, the entire imperial pce was enveloped in darkness. Guards patrolled back and forth. The pce maids and eunuchs going back and forth did not stop.
An Yi and An Si in ck attire integrated into the night, quietly sneaking into the Empresss side pce. Several guards were patrolling this side pce, but these people didnt notice An Yi and An Si. The two entered the side pce without making a sound.
In the side pce, there were many precious and high-value famous calligraphy and paintings on disy. An Yi and An Sis eyes shed with interest. If this matter was handled by their master, he would probably have it burned to the ground, but with Miss Lan, she thought of a wicked idea to torment the Empress.
The two carefully ced the calligraphy and paintings into their previously prepared bags. After all, Miss Lan gave the orders. They didnt dare to break anything. To grow a face in front of Miss Lan will depend on the efficiency of their work!
The two like real bandits ransacked all the ancient calligraphy and paintings in the pce. They didnt even leave one for the Empress. Before leaving, the two looked back to see if they have forgotten something, resolutely executing Miss Lans instructions, earn more money!
When Gui San was dreaming inside Xiao Jin Pavilions third floors room, suddenly his eyes opened then saw two people in ck with their face covered carrying arge bag standing in his room.
In the middle of the night, Ming wangs men are so at leisure? Gui San saw the intruders take off their face covering and saw it was An Yi and An Si and sighed in relief. He thought it was Wu Qing Pavilions enemye to seek revenge.
An Yi and An Si smirked but didnt say anything then put down the bag. Under Gui Sans confused gaze, they pulled out each item from the bag.
Gui San, from the shock at the beginning to the speechlessness at the end, he could tell these were all precious famous calligraphy and paintings. Gui Sans love of money was something he was born with, so there wasnt any sleepiness left as he hurried off the bed to look at these calligraphy and paintings.
Are these real? Gui San asked in shock. He could tell these were real, but there were so much at one time, he was stunned.
En, all real, all for you! An Yi said, then waited to see Gui Sans reaction, then...
Mine? Gui San hugged a pair of the most expensive calligraphy and paintings, All mine?
En, all yours! An Si couldnt figure out why Gui San loved money so much when he was so rich, was this a trait of all businessmen?
~cough cough~ Gui Sans small abacus in his heart was rushing to calcte, then asked, This isnt your Ming wangs gift to this young master right? So many famous calligraphy and paintings, only the imperial pce should have! Where did you get it?
Stolen! An Yi said with a little embarrassment, Miss Lan had us steal it, and had us give these to Master Gui San you!
Little junior sister is naughty again! Gui San smiled warmly. Only his fearless little junior sister was not afraid of stealing from the imperial pce. After being stolen, these were only safe with him. If they wanted to sell it, only he had a way. Making so much was amazing!
An Yi and An Si felt Miss Lans current personality was due to being spoiled by Gui Yi Zi and the senior brothers. Now with the addition of their master, even if Miss Lan wanted to walk sideways, no one would dare say anything.
Tonight, there was someone who slept well, but some people were unable to sleep for a whole night. In the middle of the night, the Empress listen to a person report that all the calligraphy and paintings for the appreciation banquet in a few days were gone!
The Empress didnt dare raise the rm, if she let other people know that the Empress not only lost the calligraphy and paintings that have been collected by the pce for many years, she even lost those presented by the ministers, how would she be able to stably sit on this Empress position?? How would anyone support her son?
Investigate! the Empress smashed the teacup in her hand, the face that hasnt been applied with makeup was filled with anger and anxiousness, Investigate this! Bengong wants to see who has the guts to steal the pces things!
Yes! The Empresss guard hurried out to investigate.
The Empress burned with anxiety as she sat in the pce, waiting for the result of the guards investigation for a night. In the early morning, her personal maid came to report, they couldnt find out when the paintings were lost, let alone who did it!
The Empress in a fury had several of the night-time guards killed, but the rage in her heart hasnt deted. The Empress knew not to make a big deal out of this. She had to secretly deal with this without anyone knowing.
Has this been told to Chuer? The Empress asked. After all, she was the Empress in the harm, the people she can use were not as much as her son.
Answering Your Majesty, second wangye already knows and currently investigating! her personal maid said.
Report this to father! the Empress said. This matter was quite big. Shes afraid someone deliberately did this.
Yes!
While the Empresss faction was flustered, Feng Yi Xuans side was very at ease.
Nianer meimei, such a wicked idea, how did you think of it! Really admirable! Feng Xia Qi already received the news that there seemed to be something happening in the Empresss pce. But the Empress concealed it very well, Feng Xia Qi wasnt able to find out anything. So he came over to discuss it with his younger brother. He didnt expect this was all done by Lan You Nian!
I think Nianer meimei did very well. Since the Empress has so many spare money to hire assassins, then let her bleed a little! Jing Wu Ans injuries were pretty much healed. Once he heard the news, everyone gathered in Ming wang manor.
Xuan, have you passed the news to second wangyes manor? Lan You Nian asked. If they didnt arrange for Feng Shao Chus people to know that there was a person who can copy calligraphy and paintings, how can they make another profit?
En, Feng Shao Chu already received the news, the person is already heading there! Feng Yi Xuan said. Since Nian Nian wants to y, he will, of course, arrange everything. He could bear to trouble Nian Nian with these trivial matters.
Have him ask for more money! Lan You Nian didnt forget to remind.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan was amused by Lan You Nians little greedy look, hated he couldnt kiss her but seeing the two inconsiderate people, Feng Yi Xuan could only let it go.
Next all we have to do is watch the show! Lan You Nians exquisite face showed a sly smile, an enchanting beauty with a deadly danger.
Just when the Empress was at the end of her wits, Feng Shao Chu entered the Empresss pce.
Son greets Empress Mother! Feng Shao Chu gave formal greetings.
Son hase! The Empress pulled up Feng Shao Chu, her heart settled slightly, Has son found out who did it?
Feng Shao Chus eyes shed with viciousness. He didnt expect that he and grandfathers forces have investigated for a long time, but they have yet to find out who did it. It was clearly provoking his dignity.
Empress Mother, son hasnt found the person, nor found those famous calligraphy and paintings! Feng Shao Chus face wasnt well.
The Empress was disappointed. Would this really have to be made public? How would the other consorts and concubines look at her? Would she still have her dignity as Empress?
Empress Mother, dont panic! Feng Shao Chu saw the Empresss ugly expression and hurried tofort, Son already thought of a solution!
Oh? The Empress mood was much better, What ideas does son have?
Son already found a gentleman of the pugilistic world. This person is most proficient in copying various ancient paintings and calligraphy. Paintings from his hand can almost be taken for the real deal! Feng Shao Chu felt they can definitely pass this difficulty. This person has traveled the pugilistic world for many years, coincidentally passed by the capital, it really was fortunate!
This...if this is discovered, the result is unimaginable! The Empress was hesitant.
Empress Mother, its enough to keep it concealed until the appreciation banquet is over, then we have more time to trace the truth of the matter, otherwise... Feng Shao Chu ground his teeth.
En, lets do as you say, is the person to be trusted? Empress has learned to be cautious after many years in the pce.
En, trustable. This person is very greedy, as long as you give him enough money, he can do anything! Feng Shao Chu was afraid this was a trap at first, but when he saw this person, he rxed his heart. This person as long as you give him money, hell work for you. He had money!
Although the person is greedy, this person cannot stay after everythings done! the Empress had never left anyone who would bring trouble to her.
Son knows, whats funny is that this person was smug for having received the money, but he doesnt know thisrge amount of money is still this wangs after everythings done! This was why Feng Shao Chu when this person asked for a high price, yet he still agreed.
My son is really thorough, this throne must be my sons! The Empress saw such a useful son and felt relieved. What she needed to do now was to push her son to that highest position. For her daughter to be like this, it was most definitely connected to Feng Xia Qis faction, as long as her son sat on the throne, there was only one ending for these people!
The Empress and Feng Shao Chu thought their calction was perfect but didnt know that everything they did was all in Lan You Nians ns. When they thought of killing the art forger, that person already took his money and left second wangye manor.
Master! An Yi handed over all the money to Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt even look at them and handed it to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian giggled happily and kissed Feng Yi Xuans cheek. Feng Yi Xuan happily hugged Lan You Nian and kissed her. He felt it wasnt enough. No matter how he kissed, it wasnt enough. He hated he couldnt kiss her all the time. He hated he couldnt eat the girl into his belly.
When Lan You Nian was made breathless by Feng Yi Xuans kiss, Feng Yi Xuan let go of her. She couldnt help but sigh, this mans kiss has be more skilled. Every time he kissed her, she couldnt ward him off. Was this the natural gap between men and women?
Feng Yi Xuan could see Lan You Nians dissatisfaction, chuckled wickedly, Nian Nian if you practice with me more, it wont be like this in the future!
How can Lan You Nian not see Feng Yi Xuans intention? She shook her head. She was really afraid shell be eaten by Feng Yi Xuan one day. Other peoples feelings became fainter and fainter, but she sensed Feng Yi Xuans feelings for her became deeper and deeper.
Chapter 133 - Appreciation Banquet
133 Appreciation Banquet
secretdreamwishes
With the expectations of Lan You Nians group and the uneasiness of the Empresss group, the appreciation banquet was held as scheduled. At this banquet, many who attended were either the officials in the court or the young masters and misses who were rtively talented. Lan You Nians current reputation in the capital was the standard talented woman, so she also received an invitation.
Because this banquet Lan Jian Jun also needed to participate, after all, at the appreciation banquet, nearly every residence took out their most precious calligraphy and paintings, so almost all the officials will be attending this banquet. Although this banquet was being held by the Empress, it was initiated by the Emperor. Every year the Emperor will be present, so the appreciation banquet is a very important banquet.
Lan You Nian got up early. Feng Yi Xuan was already awake. Lan You Nians couch has been reced with arger one that canpare with the bed.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian opened her big confused eyes, because due to just waking up, her eyes were a little watery, making Feng Yi Xuan want to be a wolf.
Feng Yi Xuan first got up and dressed before walking over to Lan You Nians bed, pamperingly asked, Why are you awake so early? He put the clothes Lan You Nian needed to wear beside Lan You Nian.
I want to see the Empresss expression, I almost cant wait! Lan You Nian now slept much better, because she had this man to protect her, she was always able to sleep peacefully.
Although Feng Yi Xuan wanted to let Lan You Nian sleep a little longer, but seeing Lan You Nians excitement, he allowed her to do as she wished. Feng Yi Xuan walked out of the room, letting Lan You Nian change out of her clothes. Although the two were now together, the two still slept separately. Feng Yi Xuan respected Lan You Nian. It wasnt that he didnt want, but because he wanted it too much, so he wasnt willing to hurt Lan You Nian.
After Lan You Nian dressed herself, she found Feng Yi Xuan carrying water and other toiletries into the room. Lan You Nian was already used to Feng Yi Xuans meticulous care, so she obediently washed up. After the two took care of everything, they came to the outer chamber to eat breakfast.
Xuan, will you be going to todays banquet? Lan You Nian asked. She knew Feng Yi Xuan very rarely attended these banquets, but every time he attended was because she was there.
En, go! Feng Yi Xuan put down the spoon in his hand, wherever his Nian Nian is, why wouldnt he be there?
Lan You Nian already guessed this was the result but hearing Feng Yi Xuans actions, she still felt warm. Her withered heart seemed to have warmed and returned to spring. This was all because of the man before her.
Lan You Nian didnt know, Feng Yi Xuans world was ck in the past, his heart was also drained, but because of Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan was like a real living being, a person who had blood and sh and emotions. They warmed each other. They were the perfect match in this world. Because of meeting one another, they became people who had love.
Lan You Nian waited in Lan You Nians garden already. Lan Mo Xian went to junzhu manor to pick up Hua Mu Qing. The two now had an engagement, so being together was normal.
Lan You Nian walked down the stairs and noticed Lan Jian Jun there. Todays General Lan was in a brown robe, standing with his back straight, as if like any ordinary father as he stood there. Ever since that night the two talked, the rtionship between Lan Jian Jun and Lan You Nian was much better.
General Lan! Lan You Nian curtsied. She didnt know why she couldnt call out an acknowledgment of father.
En, Nianer! Lan Jian Jun saw his daughter already has grown to be so slim and graceful and felt emotional. When he saw Lan You Nian wearing a veil every time she went out, his heart ached, Nianer, since you have an intact face, why do you always wear a veil?
Lan Jian Jun thought of the vile people outside who always ridiculed his daughter was an ugly woman, he felt angry inside. In parents eyes, their children were the best, not to mention Lan You Nian really had a peerless face.
This is very good, it can avoid a lot of trouble! Lan You Nian said.
Lan Jian Jun nodded, respecting his daughters choice. He can tell his daughters appearance was even more beautiful than his wifes. If many people were allowed to see, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. He didnt expect that his considerations of the matter werent asprehensive as his daughters.
Lan Jian Jun brought Lan You Nian into the pce where the pce banquet will be held. As a rtively important banquet, nectar wine, sweet fruit, delicious food were all slowly brought in. There were also delicate vases with fresh flowers. There were all kinds of flowers. The technique of disy was very clever. It was pleasing to the eye. It gave the grand pce an elegant feel.
Many famous calligraphy and paintings were ced on the stands covered by a ck cloth. When the Emperor arrives, the ck cloth will be removed, letting the people admire the various famous calligraphy and paintings.
Because today the Emperor wille, so many people came much earlier. Whether it was a wangye, princess, or the officials, they all sat down in the arranged seats.
Lan You Nian looked at the regal Empress sitting up top, because of good care, there werent any wrinkles on her face. The fierceness in her eyes couldnt be hidden. Perhaps due to there being some troublesome stuff recently, her face was a little wane. From time to time, the Empress would nce at the calligraphy and paintings covered by the ck cloth.
Below the Empress sat each wangye and princess. Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who sat there without saying a word and emitting a cold aura. Today Feng Yi Xuan wore a ck brocade robe, his ink-ck hair was held together by a white jade crown, a stately posture, hisplexion like jade, truly handsome and dignified, magnificent. Although he didnt wear his official robes, that natural noble air was palpable. From afar, it gave off a feeling of you can appreciate distantly but not touch sphemously.
Feng Yi Xuan also noticed Lan You Nian, his eyes shed with warmth. The irritance born from the boring banquet suddenly became better.
Ai? Isnt this Lan manors third miss? Why is Lan third misss here at this banquet? Noble Consort Linughed. Because of her sons passing, her entire person has lost weight. There was no longer the fox-like charm like in the past. Her gaze on Lan You Nian wasnt kind. Although she didnt know why her son died, she made her son lose face, Lan You Nian, the culprit who caused his imprisonment, has now be the thorn in Noble consort Lins eyes.
Lan You Nian looked up at Noble Consort Lin. Todays Noble Consort Lin wore a purple flowing dress, her hairbed into a Flying Heaven Hairstyle, the makeup on her face was delicate, but the ck circles under her eyes could not be concealed. Lan You Nian didnt have any calctions against Noble Consort Lin but seeing Noble Consort Lin refused to yield, Lan You Nian didnt have a good heart to leave herself an enemy.
This girl cane to this banquet was due to the personal invitation of the Empress, if Noble Consort has some doubts, please ask the Empress! Lan You Nian smiled in reply.
The Empress was already very irritated today, afraid that others will notice the difference in the calligraphy and paintings. Now that she heard Noble Consort Lin was still doing those little tricks, she couldnt help bristle, Noble Consort Lin, Lan third misss reputation for talent everyone knows, is Noble Consort Lins memory not good?
Noble Consort Lin thought the Empress hated Lan You Nian. After all Lan manor belonged to fourth wangyes faction now, so she didnt expect the Empress to help Lan You Nian.
Its this concubines fault! Noble Consort Lin knelt, her current position was very awkward. She did not have the Emperors favor nor did she have a prince she can depend on, and due to previous confrontations with the Empress, she had to be wary of the Empress finding trouble with her every day, so Noble Consort Lin had a lot of difficulties surviving in the pce now.
The Empress nted a nce at Noble Consort Lin, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt. Noble Consort Lin no longer had anything topete with her.
Noble Consort Lin also saw the Empresss look, her heart was furious, but she could do nothing.
Lan You Nian saw the looks between Noble Consort Lin and the Empress, secretlyughed inside. She thought of an even more fun way.
Feng Yi Xuan who was always focused on Lan You Nian also noticed the fiendish smile, the focus of his eyes became even more pampering.
Lan You Nian also noticed Feng Yi Xuan had always been looking at her so gave Feng Yi Xuan a look then looked at the Empress and Noble Consort Lin. She didnt know if Feng Yi Xuan can understand her meaning, but for some reason, she believed that Feng Yi Xuan can understand her.
Feng Yi Xuan got up. When Lan You Nian gave him a look, he knew what Lan You Nian wanted to do. Perhaps because he always couldnt help but pay attention to her, or perhaps he always ced Nian Nians desires first, so after being together so long, Feng Yi Xuan often knew what Lan You Nian wanted to do.
Feng Yi Xuan slightly nodded, then used his hand to casually pointed at his cheek, the meaning was self-evident, that was, he wants a kiss.
Lan You Nian felt that Feng Yi Xuan seemed to want to take advantage of her all the time. Sometimes her kiss can always make him happy for a long time. Her soft acknowledgment of Xuan will make him smile.
Lan You Nian nodded slightly. As expected, Feng Yi Xuans coldness dissipated a lot, making Feng Xia Qi beside him re at Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan, why dont they pick a better ce to be lovey-dovey!
Noble Consort Lins personal maidservant came to Noble Consort Lins ear to say something, Noble Consort Lin asked incredulously, Really?
Answering niangniang, this is absolutely true, this servant just learned of this news! the servant said.
Good! Noble Consort Lin said cheerfully, Really good!
Noble Consort Lin looked at the Empress sitting up top, feeling smug inside, you dare to make things difficult for me, I wont let you live well either. Since my son already died and doesnt have the chance to climb up that position, then you An Qian Meis son cant either!
At this moment, the Empress with countless preventions didnt expect the one who discovered first was Noble Consort Lins people.
AXuan, what did you do? Feng Xia Qi saw Noble Consort Lins strange behavior.
Nian Nian wants them to dogfight! Feng Yi Xuan said. Noble Consort Lin was able to get this news was his deliberate release to Noble Consort Lin.
This is even more exciting! Feng Xia Qis smile became foxier.
Chapter 134 - Exposed
134 Exposed
secretdreamwishes
Announcing His Majesty! a ringing voice spread throughout the banquet. Lan You Nian really couldnt stand this high voice, this voice was too sharp and harsh.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian frowning so when the Emperor stepped into the pce hall, he noticed his sixth son coldly looking at the eunuch beside him. His eyes filled with killing intent, wishing to kill his eunuch on the spot.
The Emperor was confused. He didnt understand whats wrong with this son who didnt act ording to convention. However, now wasnt the right time to ask these things, so he adjusted his expression and said to the crowd, My beloved subjects rise!
Because it was an ordinary banquet, it wasnt necessary to perform the rites of bowing. The usual etiquette Lan You Nian was able to ept. It seems she must find a way to not have to perform the rites of bowing just like Feng Yi Xuan. Otherwise, if there were going to be some major banquet in the future, she would exhaust herself.
Emperor Feng Xuan assessed the people at the banquet then nced at the two sons he cared for most. He noticed his sixth son, although on the surface you cant detect anything, those pair of eyes were focused on Lan manors third daughter. Those eyes were full of deep affection.
The Emperor sighed in his heart. His son really was infatuated.
Today, I let my beloved subjectse to see the paintings left behind by our ancestors, also let everyone share their own knowledge. My Feng countrys talents are many, today you can learn a little! The Emperor looked at his own subjects, Feng country can be said to be developing very well now. Emperor Feng Xuan was very satisfied with this result.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Xuan. In certain respects, Feng Xuan was a good Emperor. He was not extravagant, nor did he have a suspicious frame of mind of many Emperor, diligent and loving the people as well as having the resolve of a ruler. Feng country is so peaceful is all thanks to Feng Xuans good governance.
The Emperor looked over theyout of the entire banquet and nodded with satisfaction, towards the Empress sitting beside him, This banquet is done well, Empress has worked hard!
The Empress solemnly smiled, This is chenqies duty!
This is the way the husband and wife interact with each other in the imperial pce, cant even be considered respecting each other as guests. Because of Emperor Feng Xuans praise, the Empresss eyes were cold. Lan You Nian saw this situation and couldnt help sigh. Feng Yi Xuan growing up in this kind of environment probably has chilled his heart.
The eunuchs in the pce took down the ck cloth, appearing in everyone eyes were one priceless calligraphy and painting after another.
Most of the people present were rather talented. Towards these famous paintings that one rarely ever got to see, everyone was envious, each one of them walked over to the paintings to pay their respects to those paintings.
For those who liked these things, for example, Tutor He was continually giving praise to the wisdom of their ancestors. Lan You Nian followed Lan Jian Jun to stand in front of a painting of a magnificent steed. Lan You Nian had to admit that this forged paintings really can almost be the real deal, but...
Lan You Nian noticed some ministers already had some suspicions. Some of these paintings were from their manor, some slight differences made them have doubts. But looking at the Emperor and Empress, no one dared to question. This matter was quite big, many people didnt dare to doubt the Emperor who controlled life and death just because of some doubts in their hearts. Although their heart ached for the lost painting, it wasnt worth their life.
Lan You Nian went to Tutor Hes side unnoticed. Tutor He who was frowning as he observed the calligraphy and paintings when he saw Lan You Nian, his mood became a lot better, and couldnt help ask, Grandfather always hears others praise your talents, its good to see more today!
Tutor He although felt women without talent are virtuous, if it fell on his own granddaughter, Tutor He only felt proud. Even when he was ying chess with the Emperor hearing the Empresss praise, although he was modest with his words, but was happy inside.
Lan You Nian nodded cleverly, then saw Tutor He notice something inappropriate about the paintings and was going to report this to the Emperor, Lan You Nian suddenly like a cute child took Tutor Hes arm, innocently said, Is grandfather is good health today?
Although Tutor He noticed the problems with the paintings and wanted to report to the Emperor, he was of an upright personality, but seeing the granddaughter hes been searching for so many years showing concern for this old man, more or less, he was delighted inside, Grandfathers old bones are still tough. You,e to He manor to see your grandfather more often!
Although it was an appreciation banquet, those who truly appreciated were only a few. Many were talking about other things or earning favor with other officials, so there wasnt anything wrong with Tutor He and Lan You Nians conversation. Many people felt Lan You Nian was well-behaved and sensible.
Okay, grandfather cant disdain Nianer for being chatty! Lan You Nian acted spoiled.
You, naughty girl! Tutor He smiled benevolently at Lan You Nian. This made many people see this Lan manors legitimate daughter not only was favored in Lan manor but was probably favored in He manor as well.
Lan You Nian purposely talked with Tutor He. Even to expose these paintings are fake, she cant let her own grandfather do it because isnt there already someone?
Noble Consort Lin purposely pretended to be an expert as she carefully looked over the paintings, she deliberately stood beside a rather gifted minister.
Oh? Isnt this the previous ancient painting? Why is this paper so new? Noble Consort Lin said deliberately, her surprised voice was loud, so many people heard it.
Without anyone to remind them, they wouldnt think of it, but now Noble Consort Lin reminded them, many people noticed problems. These paintings all have an aesthetic feel, but ancient paintings used paper that was from decades or centuries ago. How would it look so new?
Those ministers who knew a little more because someone started it so started discussing it, carefully observing the paintings. They all noticed these things were fake.
The Empress when she heard Noble Consort Lins words, her heart stuttered. She didnt expect the first to notice was Noble Consort Lin, this woman who only knew topete for favor but without any talent.
With the discussion below, how can the Emperor not be aware of it and asked, Whats wrong?
Tutor He was prepared to say something, but Lan You Nian held onto her grandfather making him unable to move. Tutor He didnt expect his granddaughter to have such strength and looked at Lan You Nian with confusion but noticed Lan You Nian gently shook her head.
Tutor He was stunned. He wasnt an ignorant old man for hes taught several emperors. Carefully looking at his granddaughter, he noticed Lan You Nians deep coldness in her eyes. Tutor He stiffened for a moment but didnt say anything.
Lan You Nian saw her grandfather didnt say anything and was relieved inside. She was afraid this upright grandfather of hers will disregard everything to expose the Empresss n, then Noble Consort Lin wont have a use anymore.
Noble Consort Lin went towards the Emperor and curtsied to him, Answering Your Majesty, its because these paintings have some problems, the ministers are all discussing that these arent the original!
The Empress red at Noble Consort Lin, but Noble Consort Lin not only didnt she back down, instead returned with a provocative look. She no longer had a son, so what was she afraid of?
The Empress saw Noble Consort Lins provocative eyes and knew Noble Consort Lin did this purposefully, but how did Noble Consort Lin know? No matter what, this Noble Consort Lin dared to do this, then she should be prepared to suffer her revenge!
Tutor He, take a look! The Emperor was taken aback, but he was the Emperor so he wouldnt listen to a consorts words. Instead, he looked for his teacher Tutor He. Tutor Hes talents were recognized by everyone, so it was fair.
Lan You Nian let go of the hand on Tutor He. She knew this time was when her grandfather should be upright. Even if grandfather revealed the matter, the Empresss faction wouldnt me this on He manor. As for the culprit, the Empress probably already had Noble Consort Lin on mind.
Tutor He walked over to several paintings and studied them with several aged ministers, then Tutor He said, Answering Your Majesty, these paintings are indeed fake!
This was a p in the face to everyone. It was just suspicion, but after some discussion with many of the ministers, it was now fact. The paintings that the ministers have appreciated are all fakes, isnt this a joke? Those houses who had offered their own calligraphy and paintings had bitterness they couldnt speak. They never expected that every year the paintings will return to their manor in perfect condition, but now these have all be fakes.
Empress, you tell me whats going on? The Emperor scolded the Empress, his tone harsh.
The Empress slowly stood up, her bearing of an Empress didnt change, Answering your Majesty, its chenqies fault! The Empress knew the matter couldnt be concealed anymore, the more she concealed, the angrier the Emperor will be, in the end, it would be out of control.
Everyone heard the Empress say these words and knew these were indeed all fake. Thinking that they have been appreciating fakes all along, many were dissatisfied inside. They felt an Empress used fakes to deceive the courtiers werent the actions of an Empress.
Empress ah Empress, zhen gave you this appreciation banquet for you to do, is this the result of your work? Use these fakes to fool zhen? The Emperor walked over to a painting, suddenly knocked over that painting, Do you not want to be the Empress anymore?
As soon as these words came out, not only was the Empress shocked, many people wondered at the Emperors meaning. Did he want to depose the Empress?
The Empress knelt on the ground, Please ask the Emperor to investigate justly, chenqie didnt deliberately counterfeit. The real paintings were snuck out of the pce a few days ago by an unknown person. Chenqie didnt know what to do, so mad this stupid move!
The Empress, although she couldnt shirk responsibility, her actions were justifiable.
But how can Feng Xia Qi and the others let her easily pass like this? Of course not?
Chapter 135 - Punishment
135 Punishment
This is really strange, the imperial pces Yulin army and guards are everywhere, what kind of thieves can enter the pce and even enter the Empresss side pce to steal the paintings without rming anyone? Feng Xia Qi asked bewildered, his tone gentle but with an aggressive attitude.
Following behind Feng Yi Xuan, An Yi rolled his eyes. He wanted to say that person was him. Listening to fourth wangyes description, he seemed very powerful.
Many people had some doubts as they considered these words. The pce wasnt any ordinary ce. How many people of the pugilistic world can enter the pce? The guards that can enter the harem werent simple. The investigations were also very rigorous. How could they know An Yi and the others swaggered into the pce using a seal then snuck into the harem?
What kind of capable people arent in this world? Fourth wangye how can you frame bengong? If someone didnt steal the paintings, why would bengong use this method? Isnt making trouble for myself? The Empress wasnt a simple woman, with a few words, she made everything sound reasonable.
But Feng Xia Qi was a sly fox. Originally he didnt have any intention to argue with such a woman but thinking of Nianer meimeis instructions and his brothers eyes, Feng Xia Qi said righteously, Since so many paintings were stolen all at once, why didnt the Empress tell Imperial Father? You could have found the thief quicker as well as recovering the paintings. you only let everyone know now, it was all due to Noble Consort Lins eyes, otherwise wont everyone be in the dark?
The Empress wanted to say more, but Feng Xia Qis eyes smiled, Not only did the Empress not allow the minister to know, but you also use these fakes to taint everyones eyes, do you take Imperial Father and the ministers as fools?
Feng Xia Qis final words were quite severe, directly set the charge of the Empress beingx, deceiving the Emperor. Every sentence Feng Xia Qi uttered was reasonable. Most people were dissatisfied with the Empresss actions, how can these actions be worthy of being the mother of a country?
The Empress was speechless not to mention that although Feng Xia Qi wasnt full of arrogance like Feng Yi Xuan but that noble aura was oppressive, making the Empress only anxiously kneel on the ground.
Second wangye Feng Shao Chu watched his Empress Mother being med but couldnt say a word. Not only couldnt he plead for his mother, but he also needed to totally clean himself of it. After all, the Empress was only a woman, nothing would have to her, but if he was involved....
For a time, the entire pce each one had their own thoughts. Everyone all waited for the Emperors decision.
Empress, do you know your wrong? The Empress looked at the Empress kneeling on the ground, her eyes shed with dissatisfaction, but with a look at Prime Minister An who was sitting there, he knew it wasnt a good time to depose the Empress. It was almost time for the exchange between the countries. If a scandal happened in Feng country, it would lose the face of Feng country.
Its all chenqies fault, chenqie is really to be punished! Although The Empress didnt know why the Emperor asked this but knew since the Emperor said this, then she wasnt in too much of a trouble.
The Emperor nced at his fourth and sixth son. He felt this matter was a bit abnormal, but it seems it was only an ident. But in any case, he can tell the two children wanted to punish the Empress.
In this case, the affairs of the pce will be taken care of Empress Dowager, The Empress will move to the Buddhist temple to concentrate on Buddha The Emperor was taking away all of the Empresss authority, only left with the title of Empress but Prime Minister Ans faction had no way of pleading. This was the Empresss negligence.
The lost paintings of the officials will be made up by the Empress, including the ones in the pce, if you cant find them, repay with money! The Emperor said. Since Prime Minister Ans faction was so wealthy, then let them make up for it. The treasury wasnt used for these things.
The Empress wanted to plead innocent, but looking up, she saw the Emperors dissatisfied and threatening eyes, the Empress knew it would be no use to beg for mercy. Unfortunately, her own savings probably wasnt enough, this time they really fell on their heads.
A good appreciation banquet due to the fakes ended silently. The young masters and misses followed their parents out of the imperial pce, but many people whispered about the Empresss method. No one liked to be deceived, much less exchanging their real treasures with fakes.
Nianer meimei has earned a lot this time? Jing Wu An chuckled. They all knew Feng Yi Xuan gave everything to Lan You Nian, even the money from counterfeiting was in Lan You Nians purse, they couldnt help sigh Feng Yi Xuan really was a thousand gold for a beauty.
Brother Wu An is envious? Lan You Nian and they sat in the carriage.
Ai, envious so what? I dont have that good life for someone to give me money! Jing Wu An eximed.
This time Empresss faction lost a lot of blood. So many calligraphy and paintings that need money to be remedied. It seems Feng Shao Chu will be living poorly for a while! Feng Xia Qi said, But this is all thanks to Nianer meimeis n.
Lan You Nian didnt show any pride and said very peacefully, Even if I didnt make any ns, you would have an even better method to suppress the Empresss faction. I was only bored. Everyones good intentions, Nianer knows!
Lan You Nian knew that to survive in the imperial pce, how can any of the princes be simple? Feng Xia Qis methods although Lan You Nian has not seen but knew it wouldnt be ordinary. There was no need to mention Feng Yi Xuan. And Jing Wu an, a famous military strategist is shrewd. Everyone just saw she wanted to y, so they let her do as she wished. Lan You Nian was not unaware of their care and protectiveness of her. Lan You Nian considered them her own people. She will treat them sincerely.
Feng Xia Qi and the group were momentary stunned. They didnt expect Lan You Nian to read the situation so thoroughly. They truly treated Lan You Nian as a little sister. So no matter how Lan You Nian wanted to y havoc, not only Feng Yi Xuan was willing to pamper, they also helped. This was where they were different from other people. Towards the enemy, they were always cruel and ruthless, but towards their own people, they will do all they can to protect, this is why Lan You Nian had such a good rtionship with Feng Xia Qi and the others.
In this case, Nianer meimei brew some wine for us to taste! Feng Xia Qi said. Ever sincest time he had a drink of the wine that Lan You Nian brewed at You Nian Pavilion, he didnt ever have a taste of such good wine again. They said to Lan You Nian several times, but Lan You Nian didnt give in.
Yu Liu Li once sneaked into You Nian Pavilion to search, wondering if the wine was hidden in You Nian Pavilion. However, not only didnt he find any wine, he was caught by Feng Yi Xuan and taught a lesson. Since then, he didnt dare to sneak into You Nian Pavilion.
Nianer knows Brother Xia Qi has the tribute grapes... Lan You Nian said but was interrupted before she could finish.
Nianer meimei likes to eat grapes? Thats easy! When I go back, Ill have people send the grapes to Nianer meimei! Feng Xia Qi said. The tribute grapes were pretty good, the skin was thin, juicy, and tender. The pce only gave them to some wangye and princesses. Even some niangniang didnt have any.
Nian Nian, my manor has them, how much do you want, I have it! Feng Yi Xuan said unhappily. His Nian Nian wants what, he will bring it to her, wont take other peoples things.
Lan You Nian didnt demure, nced at Feng Yi Xuan, Yours isnt it mine?
Yes! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. He liked the feeling that there was no separation between them.
Great! Lan You Nian appeased Feng Yi Xuan saying, I, want to make grape wine, need a lot of grapes, so I want all of it!
Okay! Feng Yi Xuan said. Inside he was wondering if Nian Nian making that so-called grape wine, he will be the first to taste. Although he wanted to monopolize it but was afraid he will invoke Nian Nians anger.
Grape wine? Jing Wu Ans eyes brightened, Nianer meimei will brew the best! Jing Wu An didnt say this purposely rather every time Lan You Nian, whether it was delicacies, wine, or tea, it was all stuff they have never seen or tasted.
Grape wine is made from grapes. After Nianer meimei finishes the batch, you cant hide it selfishly to yourself, you have to let us taste it! Feng Xia Qi dered. He wasnt afraid Lan You Nian wouldnt give them any to drink, rather he knew his younger brothers temper. He will probably get jealous and not let them drink.
En, first give it to Xuan to taste, then give it to you to drink! Lan You Nian said. She considered Feng Yi Xuan to be very important; she wouldnt refuse to admit it.
Feng Yi Xuans lips tugged upwards, hated he couldntugh.
Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An looked at each other and chuckled. Towards Lan You Nians straightforward personality, they really were fond of.
At this time, the Empress and Feng Shao Chu were in a panic. All at once they needed to have so much money, it was difficult even for the Empress. Feng Shao Chu was ready to kill that counterfeit artist, he realized that person already left. There was no way to find him again.
The Empress had Feng Shao Chu sell off all the things that can be sold. But for some reason, these expensive things didnt get a good price at any of the pawn shops. Those jewelry and other stuff were pawned off at nearly a worthless price. How could they know many of the pawn shops in the capital all belonged to Lan You Nian. Behind the scenes, Lan You Nian earned a fortune.
The Empress and Feng Shao Chu thought of many ways before they got enough money. Due to the recent events, the Empresss lips emerged with blisters. The money obtained from corrupt means in the pce was almost all gone. Feng Shao Chu wasnt any better. Those ministers who were still optimistic about him were now whispering about him. This was not a good thing for them.
Chapter 136 - Representatives of Other Countries
136 Representatives of Other Countries
When Lan You Nian received the news, it was already five dayster. Noble Consort Lin caught a disease and died....
Noble Consort Lins death did not cause any waves in Feng country. It was just a noble consort. It was just a concubine. With the exchangeing soon, the imperial family suppressed this matter. The people only talked about this when they were bored.
Lan You Nian was currently making grape wine. When she heard of Noble Consort Lins death, she didnt stop what she was doing.
Young miss, how could Noble Consort Lin die? Isnt it strange? Lan Wu asked.
Of Lan You Nians subordinates, Lan Wus personality was slightly naive. Although she has seen many dark things, her heart was still full of sunlight. Sometimes Lan You Nian was envious of this.
Because someone wants her to die, so she cant live! Lan You Nian smiled. Noble Consort Lin could have lived without any worries in life, but she was too restless. She dared to brazenly provoke her, then Lan You Nian will send her off. She Lan You Nian wasnt a kind person, those who provoked her, whether innocent or evil, she wont let go of any of them. Because Lan You Nian knew if you wanted to survive in this world where life was worthless, then you can either endure or be ruthless. She Lan You Nian will never tolerate, so there was only left with ruthlessness!
Listening to young miss, young miss knows who did it? Lan Wu asked. Her worship of her own young miss can be described as blind, no matter what, nothing was difficult for young miss. Young miss can do anything. She was younger than them, but she knew much more.
Lan You Nian pinched the grape in her hand, the fresh juice flowed along Lan You Nians soft white fingertips, making people feelfortable just looking at it. In this world, probably only a woman like Lan You Nian would have a finger thats beautiful to the point it was suffocating.
Who in the pce has this ability to touch a noble consort? Lan You Nian mused.
Is it the Empress? Lan Wu asked, her eyes revealed her surprise.
Of course, only you are stupid for not knowing! Lan Quughed.
Lan Qu helped Lan You Nian get the grapes and looked at her young miss who looked rxed, and couldnt help ask, I heard today the representatives of various nations are entering the capital, Ming wang will probably be busy for a few days, some princesses have alsoe, young miss...
These days, Lan Qu has seen that indifferent Ming wang pampering her familys young miss. Not to speak of every night, he slept in young misss room but took pity on young misss young age, he never crossed the line. He always diligently took care of young miss. In many things, he did much better than them, the servant girls. Which man can help a woman dress, wash up, and draw water for her, much less a wangye who held power in his hands? Because Lan Qu and the others felt Feng Yi Xuan was a rare good man, they felt their miss should keep an eye on him. There were many beautiful women outside, they didnt want theirdy to be hurt though there werent anyone more beautiful than their young miss.
How can Lan You Nian not hear the meaning behind Lan Qus words? Lan Qu wasnt reassured about Feng Yi Xuan. If peace marriage was needed, the several wangyes were the first to bear the brunt of it. But Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan wasnt that type of person. If that were true, she would break off these feelings...
At this time, three groups of processions have entered the capital. The people watching have filled up the streets.
The people Feng country sent out to wee the representatives was Feng Shao Chu and Feng Xia Qi. Originally Feng Yi Xuan was supposed toe too, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt like these atmospheres so didnte. The Emperor didnt ce any me, so let Jing Wu An take his ce.
The three stood outside the imperial pce. Feng Shao Chu wore a snow white brocade robe, with a jade crown, from a distance he was a handsome and elegant man.
Feng Xia Qi was dressed the same as Feng Shao Chu in a white brocade robe, his handsome face was serene, his mouth was faintly smiling. Under the sunlight, it was eye-catching. With thisparison, Feng Shao Chu didnt beat him.
Jing Wu An wore blue, with a ck gauze robe, with a brown-ted dragon jade buckle at the waist. His hair without any errant strands was tied up, a handsome and wless face, with a hint of elegance and ethereal, who would have thought this mans heart was so ck?
From afar, they watched the three groups of people gradually approach the imperial pce. Feng Xia Qi and the others smiled, this wasnt only the start of the exchange, but it was the contest between countries.
The first toe was Yue country. From Yue, there were two princesses. Third princess Yue Qian Ling and eldest princess Yue Bai Lian. As a princess, they sat in sedan chairs without showing their face. Yue Qian Ling at an unknown time joined the procession,ing in from outside the capital.
The second was Hua country. Hua country sent Huas crown prince Hua Xiu Yi. This person was known by the rest of the world, from a young age, he broke off any retreat of his brothers and climbed up the position of crown prince. He also could manage the battlefield. Once, he has battled with Feng Yi Xuan.
From Xue country was the prime minister Pei Fu, this prime minister was quite young at only 30 years of age. In Xue country, he was valued by the Emperor. This person was knowledgeable. In Xue country, he was respected by many and is an important person.
Feng Xia Qi and the others had some small chat with the various representatives then brought them to a pce outside the imperial pce walls. This was where the representatives will be living. The exchange will be set a few dayster. Tomorrow the representatives will be attending the dinner banquet in the pce.
Yue Bai Lian sat in the sedan looking at the familiar capital. She was thinking of that aloof but charming Lan You Nian. She now knew her master was a girl, but she was still unable to forget after returning to Yue. She still remembered master once said, same-sex love wasnt shameful. She didnt know if she still had a chance to see her master.
In the other sedan, Yue Qian Lin was in a bad mood. She has always been very arrogant. When she started from Yue, she quietly rode to the capital first to see the customs and people of Feng. She didnt expect to encounter such troublesome matters. Not only she wasnt able to take that cute young master as her servant, many people knew her identity and threw her onto the streets. Lan You Nian, Yue Qian Ling thought these things were all because of that woman. This time shees with the identity of a princess of Yue, she wont let go of that woman.
Meanwhile, Hua countrys sedan can be described as luxurious. Beside Hua countrys crown prince Hua Xiu Yi sat a soft boneless woman. At this time, the womans chest was slightly exposed, stroking Hua Xiu Yis chest, her fingers slowly moved up to touch Hua Xiu Yis face, but she could no longer advance. Because that woman died with her eyes wide open. The one who killed her was Hua Xiu Yi who was tenderly affectionate with her.
Hua Xiu Yi threw out the woman who died. The people outside caught the dead woman and destroyed the body. No one noticed Hua Xiu Yis smile. He thought he was very talented and never encountered any opponent but since two years ago that war with Feng, he lost, Hua Xiu Yi took notice of that Feng countrys god of war Feng Yi Xuan. Hua Xiu Yi had to admit, Feng Yi Xuan was the most powerful opponent he had ever seen. He came to Feng because of this, it was due to his interest in his opponent.
In Xue countrys sedan sat a man with a straight posture. This person only held a book quietly reading. He seemed to be deaf to the outside world. He didnt look like a prime minister of a country, more like a schr who lived in the mountains.
Prime minister, why did prime ministere to Feng country personally, this isnt a good job! the manservant sitting beside Pei Fu asked.
Pei Fu turned the page over, after waiting a long time, he said, Its something I should do!
Currently, Feng Yi Xuan sat in Ming wang manor ying chess with Yu Liu Li as if the matters of the capital had nothing to do with him.
I heard Hua countrys crown prince came to the capital! Yu Liu Li put down a piece, taking joy in his friends misfortunes as he said.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt have any expression, calmly cing down another piece, his tone still cold, En, Pei Fu also came!
Yu Liu Li looked at the chess game, thinking for a long time but still wasnt able to think of where to go, and was slightly annoyed. Every time they yed, he wasnt Feng Yi Xuans opponent, This Hua Xiu Yi isnt an easy person to deal with. All these years, he seems to consider you his opponent. He wants topare with you in everything. Im afraid this time there wont be any rest with his arrival!
He doesnt dare, this is the capital, he isnt so reckless! Feng Yi Xuan said. He knew about this Hua Xiu Yi. Ever since he won over Hua Xiu Yi that year on the battlefield, that man always did something behind his back, always wanting to defeat him. Its a pity that there wasnt much interaction between them. Hua Xiu Yi didnt have this chance to do anything.
Yu Liu Li finally put down another piece, then worriedly said, I know you arent afraid, that is because you didnt have a weakness, but Nianer meimei...
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly looked up at Yu Liu Li, his eyes cold, cing another piece, the entire game Feng Yi Xuan had already won.
Ai, I can tell you care about Nianer meimei and agree to you being together. But I want to tell you, you are someone with a weakness now, be more careful. I consider her as a little sister, I dont want her to be implicated, Yu Liu Li said. Feng Yi Xuan of the past was someone without any weakness. He was cold-hearted and ruthless. The current Feng Yi Xuan was like a real person, though worthy of joy, but it also had its drawbacks.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the intricate game, his voice cold but with a dignity that couldnt be denied, Nian Nian isnt my weakness, she is my life!
Chapter 137 - Investigation
137 Investigation
What have you found? Hua Xiu Yiid on his side on therge bed, asking the guard standing beside the bed.
Ming wang doesnt show himself in the capital frequently, but the strange thing is that Ming wang has a close rtionship with General manor! the guard reported the results of the investigation. Before, although they paid attention to this Ming wang due to being far away, the news isnt well-informed.
General manor? Hua Xiu Yi red lips curled upwards. Although he knew the imperial family of Feng already started to fight for the throne, he understood Feng Yi Xuan. This person wasnt the type to suffer just for military power. Then what is the reason for him being so close to General manor?
What people are in General manor? Hua Xiu Yi asked.
The guard thought for a moment, Speaking of General manor has a legitimate third miss who General Lan pampers, this girl not only is Lan manors legitimate daughter, she is also Miss Miao Yin who astounded the word!
Miss Miao Yin? Hua Xiu Yi sat up. Although he was far away in Hua country, he has heard of Miss Miao Yins good name. He didnt expect the women who can make such beautiful songs was Lan manors legitimate daughter.
Gather information on this Lan manors legitimate daughter and give it to me! Hua Xiu Yi said. He felt that Feng Yi Xuan had such a close rtionship with the General had something to do with this Lan manors legitimate daughter.
When the guard handed over the information about Lan You Nian, Hua Xiu Yi carefully looked over it, his eyes shed with an unclear light. He was not very interested in this Lan manors Lan You Nian. A child who was bafflingly discarded can live, not to mention achieved such a good name, much less obtained Feng countrys young masters favor and be regarded as a little sister, this women must not be underestimated.
Hua Xiu Yi found this Lan manors legitimate daughter more and more interesting. It seemed every time she encountered a disaster, every time she can turn it around. Yet this woman was an ugly woman. Hua Xiu Yi felt he has seen many beautiful women. In his harem the concubines were numerous, but he has never seen an ugly woman....
At this time, Lan You Nian didnt know there was someone interested in her. Currently, she was at Xiao Jin Pavilions third floor.
Little junior sister, this is Bai Lians letter for you! Gui San handed the letter in his hands to Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian looked at the letter in her hands, there wasnt anything besides that she Bai Lian entered the capital and is now living in the outside pce, asking if she can see her. Her words still considered her as master, there were no changes due to her restored identity as a princess.
Little junior sister, it seems Bai Lian is still in love with little junior sister! Gui San looked at the letter in Lan You Nians hands, Tsk tsk, Xiao Jin Pavilion has such a handsome young master like me, how did she fall in love with you a fake young master?
Lan You Nian felt a headache. If it were someone else who made her unhappy, she would think of a way to send them away, but Bai Lian was different. This woman was to Lan You Nians taste. This Bai Lians feelings were concealed and sincere. Even she a woman was unable to say anything cruel.
Let time slowly fade away the feelings in her heart! Lan You Nian burned the letter.
Do you want Bai Lian toe here to see each other? Gui San asked. Bai Lians letter in the end simply wanted to see Lan You Nian. They knew Bai Lian will be a princess who will marry to connect the two countries. Bai Lian was probably afraid she will never see little junior sister again.
No! Lan You Nian shook her head, Now all countries are gathering in the capital. Although bai Lian is only a princess, it doesnt mean other people arent watching her. If people knew she has a rtionship with Wu Qing Pavilions business, not only will our Wu Qing Pavilion will have trouble, she wouldnt have a good end!
Ai, it seems bai Lian will be depressed again! Gui San looked at the ount book in his hand sighing with emotion.
Lan You Nian ignored Gui San, picking up the paper and brush and started to write. Although she wont go see Bai Lian, nor will she let Bai Liane to Xiao Jin Pavilion to see her, but she will write a letter to tell her to be careful. It was best to not have any contact.
Little junior sister is writing a letter to Bai Lian? Gui San sat beside Lan You Nian, looking over the analysis Lan You Nian had written in the letter. He felt his little junior sister, although admired Bai Lian her cautious thoughts have not changed at all.
Oh? What does thisst sentence we will meet each other again mean? Gui San asked, then thought, Oh right, tomorrow nights banquet wont you be attending? Wont you see each other? Bai Lian probably wouldnt recognize you!
Lan You Nian sent out the letter then considered tomorrows banquet....
Once Lan You Nian returned to You Nian PAvilion, she noticed Lan Ren and Lan Feng have returned. The two have thinned down, but when they saw Lan You Nian, their eyes shed with a smile.
Young miss! The two eximed in joy. Most of the time, they were taking care of the affairs of Wu Qing Pavilion. They were busy all the time, but every time they returned to young misss side, it felt like returning home. This girl gave them a warm home.
En! Lan You Nian smiled nodding. Several of her senior brothers have gone back. Lan Ren and Lan Feng must have a lot easier now. In this time, the capital wont be very stable. Letting theme back, she will be a little more at ease.
Thinking of this, to An San who already considered herself a part of You Nian Pavilion, I have people I can use now, you can go back!
During this time, An San did a good job. She got along quite well with Lan Wu and Lan Wu. The several people have be friends. Although Lan You Nian seemed like someone you cant easily get close to, she treated her quite well. Lan You Nian was respectful towards everyone. An San now stood tall with her head held high in front of An Yi and the others.
Miss Lan An San pitifully said, Where has this subordinate done something wrong? Miss Lan cant chase this subordinate away...
Lan Wu and Lan Qu giggled at the side, but it was rare they didnt chime in. They knew their young miss had her own considerations. Although they liked An San, they knew who their master was. And in the end, An San was Ming wangs people, not young misss.
You did very well, but my shadow guards are back, you should go back! Lan You Nian said. She was satisfied with An San, but she knew Feng Yi Xuan had his own use for An San.
An San nodded then grasped Lan You Nians arm, If Miss Lan doesnt have enough helpers in the future, you must have master send this subordinate over!
Alright! Lan You Nian promised.
An San looked at You Nian Pavilion. Although she hasnt been with Miss Lan for long, there was an inexplicable temperament on this girl who made others feelfortable. No wonder master will love such a girl. Probably anyone will like such a woman.
Young miss Lan Qu poured a cup of tea for Lan You Nian, An yiniang has made a move!
An yiniang? Lan You Nian was a little surprised. Ever sincest time Lan Yins matter happened, An yiniang was like an invisible person in Lan manor. Even Lan Ya kept to herself. Everyone now knows An yiniang made Lan Jian Jun wear a green hat (idiom: cheated on him/slept with another). In everyones eyes, Lan Ya wasnt General Lans child, so the two no longer had any friends to make.
Lan You Nian because recently staying with Feng Yi Xuan a while and being taken care of by Feng Yi Xuan, so she never dealt with An yiniang. What a restless person, even now she wants to make aeback?
An yiniang recently enters the pce often. At the exchange banquet as well as tomorrow nights banquet, An yiniang and Lan Ya will be attending! Lan Qu said. They knew that An yiniang was probably going toe up with some wicked idea.
An yiniang no matter what, she was only a yiniang so for the general banquets because Lan manor doesnt have a female master, she can attend but such an important banquet a yiniang cannot attend. It seems An yiniang has been making a lot of effort to ingratiate herself with the Empress.
Young miss, kill directly? Lan Feng asked. She had always wanted to do this.
Lan You Nian shook her head, No need, she wont live too long!
It came time for the dinner banquet. Lan You Nian rode the same carriage as Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing.
The pce where the banquet was being held, the arches were inteced, yellow tiles covered the top, like a golden temple. In front there were ten stone pirs, on each stone pir was engraved with two dragons, one on top and the one on the bottom. They coiled upwards, mounting the clouds and riding the mist, swimming towards the middle. In the middle, there was a gemstone, surrounded by some mes. The floor was covered with patterned rugs. In the corners of the banquet stood rows and rows of pce maids. On the side, a long table was lined with fruits and snacks on silver tes. The fruits were the freshest. Just looking at them made you want to have a taste. In one of the corners sat the orchestra. Everyone immersed themselves in this music that was woven from the heart.
Lan You Nian walked into the banquet, sat down and noticed Feng Yi Xuan. Beautiful eyes, nose, lips, there was no ce that wasnt a beautiful piece of artwork. Long and thick eyshes, like the wings of a ck butterfly, and ck eyes. His posture straight, like a dragon, noble and handsome, he can indeed be considered the worlds most beautiful man.
Feng Yi Xuan noticed Lan You Nian was perusing over him, his eyes shed with a smile. This morning they ate breakfast together, but Feng Yi Xuan missed her already. The moment they separated, he will miss her.
After a while, the Emperor and Empress came to the banquet hall. The Empress made a mistake some time ago, but the Empress muste today on such an asion. It gave the Empress a chance to turn things around.
Emperor Feng Xuan sat in the highest position, with handsome features, when he was young, he was obviously a beautiful man. Although in his middle age, the same charm was gone, there was a maturity due to age. His gaze on the subjects below was keen.
An yiniang also attended the banquet. She wasnt sitting where Lan manor was at but An manors ce. Although An yiniang made an effort to dress up she has aged as well as the many things that happened recently, she seemed a lot older.
Sitting beside An yiniang was Lan Ya who was dressed up very well. She wore a lc hundred pleated skirt, with a snow white gauze outer coat. Her skin was white, her eyes round and bright, little nose little mouth, with attractive features, no matter how you look at her, she had a lovable appearance.
Announcing each countries representative to enter! Emperor Feng Xuans solemn voice sounded in the pce hall.
Chapter 138 - Provocation
138 Provocation
The representatives of each country walked into the hall....
Walking in the far left was Hua Xiu Yi, a dark redvish brocade robe embroidered withrge swaying orchids, a lean body, a wide jade flower hairpin has the hair raised, his eyebrows were exquisite, an endless charm. He bowed to the Emperor before sitting on his seat.
Hua Xiu Yi after sitting down, nced at Feng Yi Xuan. For Hua Xiu Yi, the biggest threat to him in Feng country was Feng Yi Xuan. But he noticed Feng Yi Xuans gaze wasnt as cruel as it was in the past. Instead, it emitted warmth, Hua Xiu Yi followed Feng Yi Xuans gaze, then froze...
In the hustle and bustle of the banquet, a woman in white sat there bing a piece of heaven and earth. Beautiful, an otherworldly beauty, a beauty that didnt belong to a mortal. A pair of starry eyes, beautiful as a celestial maiden who has fallen to earth. The snow-white skin above the veil, raven ck hair like a cascading waterfall, what is more rare is the aura surrounding her body with hints of indifference, a bit of innocence, a bit of cruelty, a bit of cleverness, and a bit of softness. It was such a contradictory fusion of temperaments, but it seemed so natural on her. No wonder Feng Yi Xuan who didnt like women would pay so much attention.
Lan You Nian noticed someone was directly looking at her and looked up at the person and saw Hua Xiu Yis frivolous and measuring gaze.
Hua Xiu Yi saw Lan You Nian looked up at him and saw the eyes of the woman called Lan you Nian. That pair of eyes were beautiful and clear as if it can wash away all the impurities of the world. Bright big eyes looked directly at him as if looking at him, but also not, a million things seem to pass through those eyes, but remained untouched.
Lan You Nian only took a nce before lowering her eyes. For Lan You Nian, this Hua Xiu Yi was a dangerous person. She would never go provoke such dangerous characters. Feng Yi Xuan was an ident, a beautiful ident.
Hua Xiu Yi was still immersed in that womans brilliant eyes when he noticed the woman looked down, no longer looking at him. Hua Xiu Yi couldnt help wonder, he was born with such beautiful looks, although his appearance was delicate as a woman, it made him more alluring, which woman didnt blush, and their hearts didnt skip a beat when they saw him. But this woman was so calm, indeed, so this is Miss Miao Yin praised by the world, Hua Xiu Yi became more interested in this Lan You Nian.
Greetings to Fengs Emperor! Pei Fu bowed, then listened to Emperor Feng Xuans polite words before sitting in his own seat.
Pei Fu wore a white Xue countrys court uniform, a jade belt wrapped around his body, skin white, a pair of starry eyes were like ancient wells, red lips, an eagle nose, temperament elegant as chrysanthemums, but at the same time exuding a nobleness that couldnt be ignored. Clearly, it was a weak body frame, but his eyes, eyebrows revealed an authority that couldnt be underestimated.
Pei Fu didnt look at anything after he sat down. He didnt observe Feng countrys people, only sat there quietly tasting the wine in his hands, making no one believe this was Xue countrys Prime Minister.
Thest to show their respects was Yue countrys two princesses, eldest princess Yue Bai Lian and third princess Yue Qian Ling.
Lan You Nian raised her eyes and looked at Yue Bai Lian who she hasnt seen for many days. Yue Bai Lian wore a yellow peony embroidered brocade, a floor-length pink skirt, an emerald wrap around her hands, a beautiful hairstyle inserted with a peony flower.
Yue Bai Lians etiquette was very dignified, with bearing a princess should have, who would ever think she was Xiao Jin Pavilions star?
Standing beside Yue Bai Lian was Yue Qian Ling who also dressed carefully afraid Yue Bai Lian was better than her. Yue Qian Ling wore a white peony brocade, floor-length white plum blossom skirt.
Yue Bai Lian and Yue Qian Ling took their own seats. YueQian Ling observed everyone in the hall and saw the person she wanted to see. That was Lan You Nian.
Yue Qian Lings gaze was filled with disgust and disdain for Lan You Nian. Because of Lan You Nian, she suffered a big loss. Now no matter what she must retaliate back, just a generals legitimate daughter, was she nobler than she a princess?
Lan You Nian also noticed Yue Qian Lings gaze. Lan You Nians eyes shed with a glimmer of light, that radiance makes people unable to dare look directly at it, the hot depths rose a bone-chilling cold. What she hated was people who made trouble for her, this Yue Qian Ling better mind her own business.
Yue Qian Lings apparent dislike was noticed by Yue Bai Lian. She wasnt only a princess like Yue Qian Ling, but they were also enemies. She just didnt have a chance to kill off this Yue Qian Ling, but she wont let go of her.
Yue Bai Lian nced at the one who Yue Qian Ling disliked and saw the veiled woman on the opposite side. Yue Bai Lian knew this was Miss Miao Yin. Miss Miao Yin was Wu Qing Pavilions person, so Yue Bai Lian was a little worried for Lan manors legitimate daughter. Yue Qian Ling was an unreasonable person.
For some reason, Yue Bai Lian felt this Lan manors legitimate daughter was very familiar, but she knew for sure she has never interacted with this woman before.
In fact, it was quite normal that Yue Bai Lian didnt recognize Lan You Nian. Although Lan You Nian revealed her real face to Yue Bai Lian as well as revealing her identity as a girl, Lan You Nian was wearing a womans outfit as well as wearing a veil, so Yue Bai Lian only felt familiar but didnt overthink it.
Lan You Nian saw Bai Lian didnt recognize her, her eyes shed with a smile...
The pce banquet seemed to be like this every time. Besides the wine and food, the musicians will be ying music, there was nock of graceful dancers dancing. La You Nian was already ustomed to these ancient peoples entertainment.
Although this exchange meeting willst many days, it has already started from this nights banquet. It was just looking at each countrys situation as well as cant lose your countrys face.
Your Majesty of Feng! Yue Qian Ling stood up, I heard Miss Miao Yin was Feng countrys generals legitimate daughter. Dont know if this princess has the good fortune to see for myself?
Lan You Nian put down the teapot in her hands,menting in her heart, why will someone always find some trouble with her at each banquet? Does she look like she was easy to bully?
How can Emperor Feng Xuan not be able to see Yue Qian Lings ill intent? The Emperor nced down at Lan You Nian who was sitting there calmly as if she heard nothing and felt troubled. Concerning this girl, because his son liked, the Emperor paid a bit more attention. Before he paid attention, he didnt know, but once he paid attention, he was shocked. This girls talents were really amazing, and the rare thing is that his sixth son liked her very much. The Emperor was ecstatic to give his blessings. What concerned the Emperor the most was Lan You Nians face. But the Emperor knew his son wasnt a superficial person. His son was especially stubborn. Once he has chosen a person, then he wont let go in this life.
Lan familys girl? The Emperor looked at Lan You Nian gently, not that he didnt want to use an Emperors authority to call Lan You Nian, rather his sixth son was already using his indifferent eyes on him. The Emperor was certain, if he dared to make things difficult, this sixth son would make him unable to back down with good grace.
You have to say the Emperor knew Feng Yi Xuan very well. For Feng Yi Xuan, the countrys face was worthless. He only cared about whether Nian Nian was happy.
Lan You Nian stood up and gave a curtsy, her etiquette was fluid like a flowing stream. No fault can be picked out. Even the Emperor couldnt help praising inside. Only Lan You Nian can make the etiquette seem so natural.
Princess Qian Ling, this girl is Miss Miao Yin! Lan You Nian said. Clearly, Yue Qian Ling had the identity of a princess but with both of them standing up, but Lan You Nians temperament was much nobler than Yue Qian Ling. Although Yue Qian Ling had her head held high but for some reason still felt she was inferior.
Yue Qian Ling looked at Lan You Nian, I heard Miss Miao Yins song is better than the sounds of heaven, dont know if Lan young miss is willing topare dances with this princess?
Feng countrys people found Yue Qian Lings words to be funny. Clearly knew what the abilities of the other was butpeted with something she knew, isnt this tantly bullying people? Even Emperor Feng Xuan was displeased.
Not willing! Lan You Nian said bluntly making Yue Qian Lings smile unable to continue while Feng Yi Xuan and the others chuckled.
Hua Xiu Yi saw such a different Lan You Nian, muttering, Interesting...
Yue Qian Ling although hated she couldnt give Lan You Nian a beating, but she knew where she was standing and why she hase to Feng. Yue Qian Ling put on her princess air, At the countries exchange banquet challenges are eptable, or do all women of Feng country are afraid?
Yue Qian Lings words were indeed ruthless. The problem between them has now risen to the problems of the countries. After all, at the exchange banquet, each person was representing their own country. If Lan You Nian didnt agree to thispetition, then it meant Feng country was afraid of Yue.
Everyone looked at Lan You Nian. Many people were worried. They heard Lan You Nians songs were unparalleled in the world, but they have never heard Miss Miao Yin can dance. Many people thought Lan You Nian cant dance. Even Yue Qian Ling thought so so she would be so provocative.
Do you know where you are standing? Lan You Nian tilted her small head asking. What she hated the most was other people threatening her because that would make her seem vulnerable. She would never allow herself to be vulnerable.
Yue Qian Ling although didnt understand why Lan You Nian would ask such an idiotic question, she still answered, Feng countrys pce!
Oh? Lan You Nian raised her eyebrows, In my Feng country, a princess dares to be so arrogant, who gave you such guts? Is it your Yue countrys Emperor or Princess Yue Qian Ling yourself? Is Princess Yue Qian Ling bullying the daughter of Feng countrys general?
Lan You Nians words went along with what Yue Qian Ling said. Since you want to raise things to the level of country vs. country, then she will fulfill her wish. A princess who participated in the exchange banquet trying to provoke an incident between the two countries, bullying a generals daughter, isnt this tant arrogance? If the countrys general is enraged, then in the future...
Lan You Nian just finished speaking when Lan Jian Jun sitting on the other side stood up, Your Majesty, this official has never had other thoughts while at war but if this official cant even protect his daughter, then how can I be Fengs general?
Lan You Nians mouth tugged upwards. This father was getting better and better, he can even utter such words.
Many people in the court knew Lan Jian Jun was a loyal person, but such a loyal person uttered such blunt words for his daughter, it made people have a new understanding of Lan You Nian.
Yue Qian Ling panicked. Provoking Feng countrys young miss was no problem, but if it involved that countrys general, then it was a problem. Yue Qian Ling wanted to expect but didnt know how. She didnt understand why things will be like this.
Does this Yue countrys third princess think our Feng country has no one? Hmph! The one who uttered these words was Marquis manors marquis Jing Leng, Jing Wu Ans father.
Lan You Nian didnt expect this marquis will help her. Although this marquis sent many invitations to Lan manor for her to go to marquis manor to y, she never went. Now seeing Jing Leng benevolently looking at her, Lan You Nian felt strange.
Jing Wu Ans face reddened, to Feng Xia Qi, he said, My father is probably crazy thinking about that wine, so shameful!
Even the marquis had offered his opinions, Feng countrys many officials looked unkindly upon Yue Qian Ling. No one likes other people t look down on their own country.
Yue Bai Lian looked at Yue Qian Ling with ridicule but didnt utter a word to help her as if she wasnt Yue countrys people. Yue countrys safety wasnt rted to her at all.
Just when Yue Qian Ling was anxious to exin, Lan You Nan suddenly said, But Princess Qian Ling might be right, how could my Feng country not have anyone? As for Princess Qian Lings contest, this girl epts!
Lan You Nian returned to her seat and sat back down as if there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. But she has yed Yue Qian Ling like a puppet on strings. Many people can tell Lan You Nian intentionally yed the other person, otherwise, she would have agreed earlier.
Chapter 139 - Interest
Chapter 139: Interest
Excellent! Emperor Feng Xuan said gaily. He saw this girl wasnt afraid of a countrys princess and can y the princess in the palm of her hands, it made Feng countrys Emperor want to apud her, Let the second princess go together!..
Subject-daughter obeys! Feng Yi Shuang curtsied. Her dance was hard to beat, but her music was suppressed by Lan You Nian. Now there is such a good opportunity toe out in the limelight, how can she miss this?
Emperor Feng Xuan didnt intend to let his daughter be in the limelight. He was afraid Lan You Nian cant dance. With second princess as support, Feng country wouldnt lose face.
Yue Qian Ling disdainfully nced at Feng Yi Shuang then looked at Lan You Nian, her mouth silently saying a few words, You will lose!
Lan You Nian wasnt angry, instead followed the pce maid to go change clothes. Yue Qian Ling and Feng Yi Shuang went down to change into dance clothes as well.
AXuan, can Nianer meimei dance? Feng Xia Qi asked his younger brother who started to emit a cold aura ever since Lan You Nian left. He was worried inside. They have never seen Lan You Nian dance. To dance, it required training. They werent afraid of Feng country losing face, only that other people will say stuff about Lan You Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the wine cup in his hand. The entire banquet due to Nian Nians departure made Feng Yi Xuan feel monotonous. Hearing his brothers question, Feng Yi Xuan carefully thought about it. He had never seen Nian Nian dance, nor has he heard Nian Nian can dance.
So what if she can or cant? Feng Yi Xuans face as handsome as a star in the winter night, emitting a coldness, Commenters, kill!
Jing Wu An nced at the speechless Feng Xia Qi. They seemed to not have seen such a cold, murderous Feng Yi Xuan for a long time. Ever since Lan You Nian came to Feng Yi Xuans side, this cold man seemed to have met with spring. He didnt kill people often anymore. But you cant forget his cruel temperament. Feng Yi Xuan seemed to have changed, but if someone touches his bottom line, then the consequences were too dreadful to contemte.
At this time, Lan You Nian was led by a pce maid into a room to change into her dance clothes. Just as Lan You Nian was ready to take off her clothes, suddenly her voice said coldly, Come out!
She knew the person in the shadows had a higher martial arts than her, but Lan You Nians intuition was very precise. This was amon problem of the people who lived in the darkness. Lan You Nian could clearly sense there was an unknown gaze observing her in the shadows.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt think that the vignce of such a young girl was so high. He only found this girl to be fascinating. On the one hand, it was because of the girl herself. On the other hand, it was because of Feng Yi Xuans attention on her. That is why he followed when he saw Lan You Nian came out to change clothes. For Hua Xiu Yi, there wasnt anything to be embarrassed about. He had countless concubines and has seen a lot of women but women like Lan You Nian, he has never seen. He was waiting to see the body of the disfigured girl but didnt expect to be discovered so quickly.
Hua Xiu Yi walked out from the shadows and saw that girl in white looking at him without any expression. There was no fear, nor was there any delight towards his face, indeed interesting!
Lan You Nian watched as Hua Xiu Yi undisguisedly walked out. She didnt expect the person in the shadows to be Hua countrys crown prince. What is the reason for this Hua countrys crown prince to follow her? What are the odds of her winning if she found with him?
Lan You Nian threw her white dance dress to the side, looking at the seductive Hua Xiu Yi asking, Why has Hua countrys crown prince followed this girl?
The smile on Hua Xiu Yis lips didnt stop, but Lan You Nian can tell this man was cold to his bones, the gentler his smile, the more cruel.
Why?Hua Xiu Yi looked at Lan You Nian who stood a few meters away from him. Even if he cant see her face, she still attracted other people. For her to be so calm, it was truly rare, To see the legendary Miss Miao Yin!
Lan You Nian ignored Hua Xiu Yi whos masculinity was more seductive than a woman. Although her voice was still soft, the coldness it contained was also real, Already seen on the banquet! Meaning that you have seen so you can scram!
How can Hua Xiu Yi not hear the meaning of Lan You Nians words? But he didnt leave. Instead, he slowly walked over to Lan You Nian, then reached out his white hand that was as wless as a womans to touch Lan You Nians eyes but suddenly stopped.
Because his abdomen was being poked by a cleanly cut dagger. Hua Xiu Yi was sure if his hand dared to touch the girls eyes, then the dagger will puncture his abdomen.
Hua Xiu Yi thought Lan You Nian was only a talented woman with a different personality but seeing Lan You Nian can easily point a dagger at him, Hua Xiu Yi was sure this girl had some skill.
The smile on Hua Xiu Yis lips because even more intense, the hand he reached out didnt withdraw. Lan You Nians dagger didnt withdraw, her eyes locked on Hua Xiu Yi coldly.
If someone looked at this scene from a distance, they would think this was a romantic scene. The beautiful man reaching out a hand to touch the womans face, while the petite girl held the mans torso, who would think these two have their daggers drawn.
Rrrip... The sound of the dagger piercing the flesh sounded in the small room.
Hua Xiu Yi immediately flew away from Lan You Nians side, smelling his fingertips, with a look of enjoyment.
Lan You Nians eyes revealed a bloodthirsty coldness. That was a coldness from hell. She didnt expect this man to really dare to touch her. ording to rumors, a person like Hua Xiu Yi was a person who only cares about himself, he wouldnt allow himself to be injured at all.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt expect this girl to not show any mercy. Fortunately, he dodged quickly; otherwise, he wouldnt merely have his flesh cut open. Looking at her, it would be normal for her to want his life. But thinking that he caressed those beautiful pair of eyes, Hua Xiu Yi felt it was all worth it.
Hua Xiu Yi nced at the injury on his abdomen, found it wasnt severe, but that was only because he dodged quickly! Hua Xiu Yi usually will think of every way to kill the person who injured him or made him suffer losses. However, Hua Xiu Yi didnt want to kill Lan You Nian. He seemed to have found a novel toy.
Lan You Nian harshly rubbed her eyes. Because of too much force, her eyes were slightly red. Lan You Nian was very angry. Besides the people who recognized herself, no one can touch her. Lan You Nian felt disgusted.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt expect to be so tantly held in disdain. Seeing the girl rub her baby-like skin so harshly, Hua Xiu Yi wondered if there was something wrong with his appearance. Otherwise, how can he be disdained by a woman?
When Lan You Nian felt her eyes were wiped clean, she attacked Hua Xiu Yi with her dagger, her technique was fierce and full of killing intent.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt expect Lan You Nians martial arts to be so fierce as well as strange, he had to expend quite an effort to deal with it. If his martial arts werent just a level higher, he would be seriously injured today.
Miss Lan, have you finished changing? the voice of the pce maid who was waiting a distance outside traveled into the room.
In the room, Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi who were fighting fiercely shed. Lan You Nian was aware of where she was at and who this man was. If she killed him, it would bring trouble to Feng country. Although she didnt feel much of a sense of belonging to Feng country but thinking of Feng Yi Xuan and her brothers were all Feng countrys people, Lan You Nian still took a few steps back.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt really want to kill Lan You Nian. He hasnt ever found such person who interested him so much, besides Feng Yi Xuan.
Hua Xiu Yi nced at Lan You Nian, the interest in his eyes were intense, then flew out of the room.
Im almost done! Please wait a moment! Lan You Nian said to the pce maid.
Lan You Nian wiped away the blood on the dagger and then hid the dagger in her clothes. She almost always had the dagger on the body, besides when she was with Feng Yi Xuan.
Changing into the white dance clothes, which were in fact only more flowing than regr clothes and swept across the floor. What Lan You Nian didnt expect that there was arge spider lily embroidered on the bottom. Lan You Nian chuckled out loud seeing this. This was definitely prepared by Feng Yi Xuan, only he would be so thoughtful.
After putting on her veil, Lan You Nian walked out of the room. The pce maid waiting outside when she saw Lan You Nian was dazed. Only when Lan You Nian looked at her, she came back to her senses.
The pce maid didnt know whats happened to her. She has seen many beautifuldies in the pce, but this Lan manors third miss even if she didnt show her face, just the aura around her made people feel beautiful and couldnt help being attracted.
Crown Prince! a guard saw the blood on Hua Xiu Yis clothes on his abdomen and eximed in shock. Who injured the crown prince? All these years the Crown Prince never allowed himself to be injured.
Hua Xiu Yi nodded and then, Get me a change of clothes!
The guard heard this and immediately left to get clothes. He didnt ask who hurt the crown prince. After all, people who hurt the Crown Prince will be taken care of by the Crown Prince. Even if at that time that person wasnt dealt with, the Crown Prince will kill that personter.
Hua Xiu Yi was currently staying in an inconspicuous room in the pce. Hua Xiu Yi looked at his wound, casually bandaged it. Thinking of that girl who was different from the others, Hua Xiu Yi felt he shouldpete with Feng Yi Xuan.
The three who finished changing waited behind the windscreen in the great hall. The first to perform was Feng Yi Xuan, the second was Yue Qian Ling, the third was Lan You Nian.
Chapter 140 - Alluring Dance
140 Alluring Dance
Feng Yi Shuang wore a red silk dress with the neckline slightly low, revealing the delicate corbones. A hibiscus face, willow eyebrows, eyes that were more seductive than peach blossoms, tugging at the heartstrings. Skin white as snow, ck hair raised into a beauty hairstyle. All the pearls on her head shined in the re of the candlelight. The bright red lips were raised slightly, a beautiful woman indeed.
Feng Yi Shuangs appearance caused many of the young masters present to be unable to tear their eyes away. When Feng Yi Shuang saw so many people looking at her with worshipping eyes, she was pleased. The smile on her face became even more stunning. But she forgot her identity as a princess of a country. She wasnt a woman of the brothel who sold her smiles.
Hua Xiu Yi nced at Feng Yi Shuang. Coincidentally, Feng Yi Shuang was also looking at Hua Xiu Yi. Hua Xiu Yis appearance was a rare beautiful man. The seductive air emanating around him caused Feng Yi Shuangs face to flush.
Feng Yi Shuang didnt see the disgust and disdain in Hua Xiu Yis eyes. What kind of beauties hasnt Hua Xiu Yi seen before? Even though Feng Yi Shuang was truly beautiful, but in Hua Xiu Yis eyes, she was just a lowly woman.
The soft music sounded, Feng Yi Shuangs body twirled around...
The red dance attire was like a blooming flower in the pce hall. Feng Yi Shuang was like a blooming flower dancing to the music, her figure was soft, like a butterfly in dance.
One had to admit that Feng Yi Shuangs dance was stunning. It was telling that she had a lot of dance training; otherwise, her posture wouldnt be so flexible and pleasing to the eye.
After Feng Yi Shuangs dance ended, apuse sounded in the hall. Many people felt Feng Yi Shuang danced very well, but the few people in the hall, who had somewhat of a status, didnt feel anything. Feng Yi Xuan from the start to the end didnt even look at Feng Yi Shuangs dance. Instead, he was looking at the vague figure behind the windscreen. He knew that was Nian Nian.
Feng Yi Shuang focused on Hua Xiu Yi after her dance and saw Hua Xiu Yi looking at her. Feng Yi Shuang felt smug inside. She knew that all these years of hard work to learn to dance will make everyone worship and admire her.
Feng Yi Shuang changed out of the clothes and returned to her seat, thinking that she will be number one. In the future, she wont only be famous in Feng country, her reputation will spread to the other countries as well.
One had to say that Feng Yi Shuang overthought this. Because each country was participating in this exchange banquet, besides the representatives of each of the nations, also present were some officials as well as some of the young masters who had some fame, although Feng Yi Shuangs dance was beautiful, but for these people who have seen many beautiful dances, there werent any particr feelings.
After everyone quieted, Yue Qian Ling stood in the middle of the hall.
Yue Qian Ling wore a jade green light top, a flowing skirt, shoulders were clean cut, her waist was bound, creamy skin and with an aura of an orchid, enchanting. Even if Lan You Nian disliked Yue Qian Ling very much, she had to admit Yue Qian Ling had a good appearance. Although it cantpare to Yue Bai Lian, she was equally capable of attracting attention as she stood there.
Yue Qian Lings dance was very novel. She used her long whip as she danced. Yue Qian Ling danced as the music started, the whip in her hands followed her light steps. She opened the whip, waving it in the air twice, using force under her feet, she flew into the air, turning two circles in midair, her skirt became a beautiful circle. In addition to that beautiful face, it made people feel a beauty thats between reality and illusionary. Landing, naturally waving the whip while spinning circles. Once again using qinggong to fly into the sky and immediately descended to the ground.
At the end of the performance, straightening herself, Yue Qian Ling gracefully bowed.
Yue Qian Lings dance wasnt that good, but it won in novelty. The whips hardness contrasting with the dances softness inbination was a different kind of beauty. With thisparison, Feng Yi Shuangs dance seemed very ordinary.
Everyone admired Yue Qian Ling, who was able tobine the whip with her dance, so the apuse was the same. Yue Qian Ling proudly sat down. She looked at Lan You Nian behind the windscreen. She didnt believe that Lan You Nian can do any better than her.
Next is Lan manors third miss. Dont know if Lan manors third miss can dance? Yue Qian Ling muttered sarcastically.
The first to stand out to speak wasnt Feng countrys people but Yue Bai Lian who was sitting beside her.
Third Imperial Sister speak cautiously, this Lan manors third misss music has no match, so her dance is just the icing on the cake. Is it important if she can or cant? Yue Bai Lian said. She didnt deliberately contradict Yue Qian Ling, but for some reason, she had a good feeling about Lan manors legitimate daughter.
Yue Qian Ling red at Yue Bai Lian. She didnt expect Yue Bai Lian to not give her any face but knew this wasnt the ce for them to quarrel.
The candlelight in the hall dimmed. When the candles once again brightened, Lan You Nian stood in the middle of the hall. A white flowing dress that cant be considered a dance attire but they were beautiful when worn by Lan You Nian. She had a unique soft and quiet temperament. The eyes outside the veil were picturesque with skin as white as jade. The most stunning was that pair of clearly distinct limpid eyes. They were slightly curved as they gazed upon you and you would be able to feel her kindness and friendliness, calm as water, gently moving....but at this moment, there was an enchanting flower drawn around her eyes, adding a demonic quality to the pure aura, making people unable to tear their eyes away.
Feng Yi Xuan saw such a beautiful Nian Nian, his eyes shed with a gentle pampering, but seeing so many people looking at his person, Feng Yi Xhuan was unhappy....
The music sounded, but no one saw the one to y the flute was the noble Ming wang.
The flute music that wreaked havoc on ones heart rose, Lan You Nian danced with her long sleeves. Lan You Nian, beautiful as a celestial maiden, a girl dressed in white, appearing like an orchid in the valley. Following her lithe and graceful, her dance posture fleeting as a celestial being, her wide sleeves opened and closed, setting off her countless expressions.
Everyone was intoxicated as they watched her graceful dance, almost forgetting how to breathe. Lan You Nians beautiful eyes wandered away, the hearts of all the people present beat rapidly. They all happen to be thinking that she was looking at them. At this time, the flute quickly turned, the girl with her right foot as an axis, smoothing out the sleeves, delicate body rotating, faster and faster.
Lan You Nian suddenly from up from the ground, her jade hand waved, the white ribbon in her sleeves fluttered out. The hall seemed to be emitting white waves. Lan You Niannded on that ribbon, her feet lightly tapped against it, her clothes fluttering, like a celestial maiden riding the waves in dance.
Feng Yi Xuan saw such a Lan You Nian. For some reason, he had a feeling of unable to grasp her, so Feng Yi Xuans flute became more urgent. Her figure danced faster and faster, her jade hands following suit, her skirt fluttering, a pair of watery and smoky eyes with unspoken words, steams of light danced around. She was like a flower in the mist, hazy and fleeting, shing with beautiful colors, but yet so far away....
The flute stopped, and the dance was finished, but everyone was still immersed in Lan You Nians dance then it was thunderous apuse and praise.
Lan You Nian was neither haughty or humble, took her bow without any arrogance. But her appearance in certain peoples eyes was extremely odious. Yue Qian Ling didnt expect Lan You Nian not only can she dance, but she could also dance so well. No one canpare. Seeing Lan You Nians indifferent look, it was a huge blow for Yue Qian Ling.
Yue Qian Ling maliciously looked at Lan You Nian. Suddenly she remembered, so what if Lan You Nian danced well? So what her music was good? As long as people saw her face that was rumored to be horrifying, who will like her?
Miss Lan danced well! Yue Qian Ling stood up and walked over to Lan You Nian.
Although everyone couldnt understand what Yue Qian Ling wanted to do, they agreed with Yue Qian Lings words.
haha, Lan girl is very good! Emperor Feng Xuan praised in joy, Since everyone has seen the performances, everyone should know who the winner is!
Of course it is Lan third miss! everyone agreed. There was no way to deny it.
Lan girl, since you won, what do you want as a reward? Emperor Feng Xuan asked. Lan You Nian is the pride of Feng country.
Lan You Nians eyes brightened. From the very beginning, when she agreed to Yue Qian Lings unreasonable troublemaking, there was a reason. Now she achieved her purpose, she wanted a reward from the Emperor.
Answering Your Majesty, this girl wishes Your Majesty can grant this girl to forgo formal bowing! Lan You Nian said.
Many people were surprised by this statement. In this world, there was actually a woman who didnt want to bow to the Emperor, isnt she crazy? Many people thought Lan You Nian will be rebuked by Emperor Feng Xuan.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan sat there without any expression. From the first time Lan You Nian attended the banquets, superficially bowing, Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nian hated this formal etiquette.
The Emperor was stunned for a moment. The average women when she heard these dont they all feign to decline? Why is the woman his son took a liking to different from everyone else? But Emperor Feng Xuan felt she was worthy of being liked by his son because Feng Yi Xuan doesnt formally bow to him either, the two were a match.
In this case, this emperor grants! Emperor Feng Xuan straightforwardly answered. Lan You Nian became Feng countrys second person who didnt need to bow to the Emperor.
Isnt Nianer meimei a little too bold? Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan Mo Xian beside her. There has never been a woman who dared to ask this of the Emperor, Lan You Nian was the first.
Lan Mo Xian looked at the eye-catching sister standing in the hall, proudly dering, How can my Lan familys female be cowardly?
When Lan Jian Jun heard his sons words, he felt proud himself. At first, he was scared, afraid the Emperor will ce me.
This girl thanks Your Majesty! Lan You Nian finished and was going to return to her seat but who would think Yue Qian Ling so straightforwardly ripped off the veil on Lan You Nians face. Instantly, the entire hall was quiet.
Chapter 141 - Real Face Exposed
141 Real Face Exposed
A wave of gasps echoed in the grand hall...
Everyones eyes were locked on the girl who stood in the middle of the grand hall. People like to use flowers to describe beauty yet searching far and wide, they cant find a single flower to describe the girl named Lan You Nian. Probably because the love was too deep, with ack of words, turning a thousand times, they only saw her standing majestically, eyes bright, yet no words to express their praise escaped their mouths. The harder it was to speak, the deeper the feelings, most likely...
Everyone gaped at Lan You Nian who no longer had a veil hiding her face. Her beauty wasnt the seductive kind of beauty. Instead, it was an elegant and ethereal kind of beauty. The petite, wless face that was the size of a palm, fragile skin, a pair of watery eyes that were the most radiant stars in the sky, yet usually cold as if without human emotions and warmth.
Her willow eyebrows curved like a crescent with a touch of coldness and indifference. A small cherry mouth glistened with a hint of pink like a silent temptation. The peerless facial features were led by the perfect facial lines to the sharp chin. The white skin was almost transparent, making people cant help but want to reach out for a touch. Silky ck hair casually fluttered at her waist, a slender figure, a slim waist, moving the hearts of all those watching. Three thousand strands of ck hair was lifted up into a hairstyle, the rest hung around the neck, foiling the slender white neck. If it was really ncing back with a coquettish smile, the beauties of the six pces lose all their color. Lan You Nian looked at the veil that was ripped off by Yue Qian Ling and felt angry. The face she has hidden for so long will be revealed to the public now.
At the same time, Feng Yi Xuan was equally furious. Nian Nian who hasnt revealed her face was already eye-catching enough, but now Nian Nian made people even more unable to tear their eyes away. Eyeing all the besotted gazes of the people in the grand hall, Feng Yi Xuans eyes squinted, a dark aura exploded around him.
Because of the suffocating aura around Feng Yi Xuan, everyone returned to their senses. They all thought Lan You Nians face was disfigured. There were even rumors that said Lan You Nians face was like a ghost. Now they only want to shout, have you seen such a beautiful ghost? How is this a ghost, its clearly a celestial being okay!
REPORT THIS AD
Yue Qian Ling ripped off Lan You Nians veil while people werent paying attention. She thought she would hear people spurning Lan You Nian, but the grand hall was unexpectedly quiet. When she looked back, Yue Qian Ling wanted to choke Lan You Nian. How can she be so beautiful? How can this be?
When Emperor Feng Xuan saw Yue Qian Ling ripping off the veil on Lan You Nians cheeks, he was quite worried. After all, if this Lan girl suffered grievances in the grand hall, seeing how much his sixth son loved this girl, hes afraid there will be blood spilled in the grand hall today. But when he saw Lan manors girl having such a beautiful face, and his son didnt look surprised at all, Emperor Feng Xuan can only admire his son for spotting a pearl.
When Yue Qian Lin tore off Lan You Nians veil, Hua Xiu Yi was slightly worried. He didnt know why he was concerned. He just didnt want that girl who was so interesting to be humiliated by everyone. But he didnt expect Lan You Nian to have such a beautiful face. He has seen plenty of beauties, even the so-called number one beauties of every country, he has seen, but no woman was as beautiful as Lan You Nian, like a celestial fairy. Hua Xiu Yi, seeing Lan You Nians calm appearance, couldnt help doubt, dont all women love to show off their beauty? Which one of the women beside him dont dress up all day long, as if afraid others dont know theyre beautiful. Yet this girl being born with such a beauty hid herself, bearing the stigma of a disfigured girl nor did she exin, honestly...
Meanwhile, Yue Bai Lian was gaping at the girl in the middle of the grand hall. Those eyes, that posture, it all belongs to the mater she has been missing. No wonder she felt this girl felt familiar. It turns out masters identity is Lan manors legitimate daughter, the capitals famous Miss Miao Yin! Right, in this world, besides her master, who would have such talent? At first, when she received masters news saying they will meet, she finally understands masters meaning. They finally met, only she didnt recognize her! However, Bai Lian thought of her identity, she has never resented anything, but how much did she wish to be born male. That way, can shepete? But, Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian who simply stood there, even if her feelings cant bloom and bear fruit, she will always protect master as always.
How is this possible? Yue Qian Ling stared unbelievably at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nians talents already awed people and now for her appearance to be so refined, it made the women present envy and men admire.
Mother! Lan Ya grasped An yiniangs hand. They didnt think that the Lan You Nian who was ridiculed by them had such a beautiful face. Lan Ya even felt she couldntpare with Lan You Nian. Why must she be better than her at everything? Even the face she thought was ugly was better than hers? Lan Yas gaze on Lan You Nian shed with malice.
Lan You Nian didnt pay attention to other peoples surprise and awe. Instead, she elegantly returned to her seat.
Nianer meimei, look, I just know everyone will react like this! Hua Mu Qing dered with pride. Although she herself was a woman and wasnt as beautiful as Lan You Nian, she didnt have a trace of envy in her heart. Instead, she was happy for Lan You Nian. Finally, she wouldnt have to wear a veil all day suffering the sympathy of other people.
How do you know? Lan Mo Xian seeing everyones gaze was proud, his little sister was indeed the best, how can other peoplepare!
Hee! Hua Mu Qingughed, then looked at Lan Mo Xian, Because we were the same!
Lan Mo Xian thought back to the time when they saw his little sisters face, they were equally awed, being enthralled by such a beautiful face. Wasnt it the same as the people in the grand hall? However, Lan Mo Xians eyes shed with worry. He also saw many peoples envy.
Yue Qian Ling slumped back in her seat, her hands gripping the table, her bones protruded, skin pale. Even the blue veins on the back of her hands popped out. Her eyes burned with a raging sinister fire. Hate, hating Lan You Nians face, hating Lan You Nians entire person. It seems wherever Lan You Nian was, she will always lose face.
Miss Lans face is clearly fine, why do you say your face is disfigured? This is the heavy crime of deceiving the monarch! Feng Yi Shuang said. Feng Yi Shuang didnt think about that this was the exchange meeting between four countries, forgetting that she is Feng countrys person. She simply cant stand to see others better than her, forgetting her identity as a princess.
The people of Feng frowned. Usually, this second princess is a girl who shows a great sense of propriety, how can she observe the situation? Has the death of Noble Consort Lin left second princess without anyone to teach her? Even Emperor Feng Xuan looked down at Feng Yi Shuang with displeasure.
Second imperial sister, is that true? Maybe theres some kind of misunderstanding? Third princess Feng Guan Lian said innocently with a hint of anxiousness.
Sometimes Lan You Nian felt that speaking with these airheads who cant see the situation theyre in is a miserable thing. Are they pping the face of their own country? Didnt they see Emperor Feng Xuans ugly expression?
This heir doesnt remember Nianer meimei saying her face is disfigured. Where did second princess hear this? Jing Wu An demanded. Want toy the crime of deceiving the monarch on Nianer meimeis head? She didnt say anything so how can it count as deceiving the monarch?
Dont know who spread the rumors that Nianer meimeis face is disfigured, Nianer meimei is open-minded and doesnt let it affect her, why do some people just keep clinging onto this matter? He Chu Yang also jeered.
Everyone heard this, thats right, from the beginning to the end, Lan You Nian didnt say her face was disfigured. They all listened to those rumors, so they believed that she was. Now they thought they were really stupid, how can they believe in rumors?
Then why does this Lan manors third miss wear a veil? Why not exin it? Yue Qian Ling looked at Lan You Nian hatefully.
Lan You Nian had yet to stand up to speak when Lan Jian Jun stood up, This general told daughter to not easily show her face in public when she was younger. I didnt expect daughter to remember all these years! With Lan Jian Juns words, Lan You Nian was given thebel of a filial daughter.
Lan You Nian looked at Lan Jian Jun. She really didnt expect that such an honest Lan Jian Jun to dare to lie in front of the Emperor. Lan You Nian felt that having such a father was quite good.
Then why dont you exin? Isnt that strange Lan third miss? Yue Qian Ling clung to Lan You Nians mistake. She must let Lan You Nians reputation be damaged.
However, Yue Qian Ling doesnt know, Lan You Nian didnt care about a meaningless reputation. What does it matter if her reputation was good or bad?
Those who believe me, theres no need to exin, those who dont believe me, why exin... Lan You Nians clear voice answered. It gave people a more profound admiration. Who would have such breadth of mind and spirit? Lan You Nian has! This girl who has not yete of age has!
Today the dance house arranged some exquisite dances, especially to wee each countries representatives, Emperor Feng Xuan announced, Although it cantpare to Lan girls, it is enough for everyone to appreciate!
Yes! After everyone agreed, they saw a group of dancers wearing pce uniform dancing. Because of Lan You Nians previous beautiful dance, everyone was simply giving some face by appreciating without the usual praise.
Brother, how many days will this exchange meetingst? Lan You Nian asked curiously. Although she can gather this information herself, it was more convenient to ask.
This meeting will be held for 4-5 days. Those days we will have to attend. But each countries representative will have to stay in the capital for a month, as the sincerity of each country! Lan Mo Xian said. Although he hasnt been in the capital for many years, the basic things as the legitimate son of Lan manor, he knew.
Oh! Lan You Nian nodded. She thought to deal with Yue Qian Ling as quick as possible, but if there was still so much time, then there was no need to rush.
Chapter 142 - I Love You
142 I Love You
The banquet ended. Everyone returned home in twos and threes....
Jian Jun ah! Jing Leng came to Lan Jian Juns side, giving a brotherly greeting.
Lan Jian Jun didnt feel unexpected. Their Lan manor and Jing manor had a good rtionship. He and Jing Lin were friends. Because he has been fighting in the war for many years withouting back, they had a lot fewer interactions. But this friendship was still there.
Marquis Jing! Lan Jian Jun greeted gaily. Ever since he returned to the capital, he hasnt had the chance to meet up with his friend!
En, when are you going to let your familys girl acknowledge her house? Jing Lin said straightforwardly.
Lan Jian Jun was surprised, acknowledge house? Whats going on? Lan Jian Jun nced at Lan You Nian who was walking beside him but noticed his daughter also looked confused.
What does marquis mean? Lan Jian Jun asked. Those officials who were walking behind Lan Jian Jun also perked their ears up.
Its like this, didnt Wu An acknowledge your familys girl as a little sister? So no matter what, she must go to marquis manor to acknowledge the house. Otherwise, my marquis manors young miss doesnt even recognize her own home! Jing Leng said. Originally, he didnt know much about Lan You Nian. Most of it was obtained from the mouths of other people saying how smart this girl was and from seeing how much his son cared about this girl. Since thest time he drank Lan You Nians wine, Jing Leng has paid attention to Lan You Nian. He noticed this girl was truly lovable. Jing Leng genuinely wanted to acknowledge Lan You Nian as a daughter.
Speaking of which, Jing Leng as a marquis had a few wives and concubines, but he really liked his first wife, so he didnt allow other women to give birth to his children. Now seeing such a lovable and smart girl, Jing Leng felt having such a daughter wasnt bad.
Those officials who heard Jing Lengs words gaped in shock at Lan You Nian. This Lan manors little legitimate daughter, not only did she have General Lan and Tutor Hes love, even fourth wangye, and Ming wang looked after her, junzhu even called her little sister, now even Marquis Jing has expressed his attitude. In Feng country, probably no woman had such a strong backing as Lan You Nian. Even the princesses did not have so many peoples protection.
This... Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter. From inside, Lan Jian Jun didnt want his daughter to acknowledge other people as godfather. His own daughter he hasnt pampered enough, how can he let others steal her away?
Lan You Nian saw Jing Lengs eyes werent scheming anything. He really wanted to acknowledge her as a daughter. But Lan You Nian thought it was best to bypass this matter because she already saw Lan Jian Juns veins pop on his neck. He probably didnt want someone to be her godfather before their father and daughter rtionship has be closer.
Lan You Nian walked over to Jing Leng, cleverly like a real teenage girl, Thanks for Uncle Jings affection, Nianer recently made a new kind of grape wine, it is very good for the body. Afterward, I will have Brother Wu An bring over some.
Really? Jing Leng asked. Due to his body, the imperial physician told him he cant drink wine, but he was a person who loved wine like his own life. Hes been sober for many years that he almost couldnt bear it anymore. Thest time he tasted Lan You Nians wine, he still licked his lips for a long time afterward. But he a marquis how can he ask a junior for something?
Of course its true! Lan You Nian said.
Good good! I will let Wu An go to Lan manor for a visit! Jing Leng said. Jing Leng knew Lan You Nian was shifting the topic, so he followed Lan You Nians topic. He really admired Lan Jian Jun for having such a daughter ah!
Lan Jian Jun wanted to ask, is it to visit or ask for wine?
Lan Jian Jun didnt think Jing Leng will say this, but still nodded, En, okay!
Meanwhile, Jing Wu An who was following behind Jing Leng was helpless to say anything. How did his usually serious father be so benevolent looking in front of Nianer meimei? He didnt have the vexation he treated him with. Really, Nianer meimei is simply too lovable.
As soon as Feng Yi Xuan returned to the manor, he noticed An Yi and the others waiting outside the study with wretched appearances.
Feng Yi Xuan frowned, What? Inside, he thought if Nian Nian has returned to the manor, he must hurry to get his business taken care of to apany Nian Nian.
An Yi stepped forward, obviously asking for credit as he said, Master, Miss Lan sent over a jar of wine. I heard from Lan Ren that Miss Lan especially made it for master. There is only one in the world!
Sure enough, Feng Yi Xuan exuded warmth after hearing this, his thin lips slightly upturned, even his eyes were filled with smiles. When he knew Nian Nian was brewing wine, he was a little jealous because that not only was it for him, it was also for other people to taste. But Feng Yi Xuan didnt expect Nian Nian to considerately make him a special wine. Thinking of Nian Nians care towards him, Feng Yi Xuan felt there was nothing that can make him happier.
Walking into the study, there was indeed a jar of wine on the table. If at any other time, someone dared to put wine in his study, then Feng Yi Xuan will make suffer some flesh pains. But now Feng Yi Xuan couldnt bear to drink, thinking that is was specially made by Nian Nian, so he was reluctant.
Feng Yi Xuan ced the wine in the hidden space in the study. In the past, the state secret documents were ced inside, but now it was just for a jar of wine.
Meanwhile, An Yi and the others who were waiting outside were staring pitifully into the room. Why was it like this? That was because when Lan Ren sent over the wine, he gave each of them the wine Lan You Nian prepared for the shadow guards. Although it cantpare to the wine made especially for Feng Yi Xuan, it is a good wine that cant be bought with money. So, An Yi and the others didnt drink because it was day time but simply opening it and smelling it, it made the group of shadow guards drool. They especially want to steal the wine that was in masters study but who had these guts?
Feng Yi Xuan put away the wine then flew over to Lan manor. An Yi and An Si who had the honor of following nearly skipped in pursuit.
Lan You Nian sat in You Nian Pavilions garden, looking at all the people who came uninvited. Feng Yi Xuan, she can understand. He seemed toe here every night punctually, but Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, Yu Liu Li, Lan Mo Xian, Hua Mu Qing, and even He Chu Yang also came.
You guys, this is? Lan You Nin asked, but in fact, she knew they were coveting the wine. Lan You Nian felt it was fortunate that she already sent some wine to her senior brothers and shifu, even brewed a different kind of wine for Feng Yi Xuan, otherwise based on the attitude of these people, shes afraid her wine isnt enough.
Father asked me toe, Nianer meimei agreed to father to take some wine! Jing Wu An rushed to be the first to speak.
Then you guys? Lan You Nian asked deliberately however she was happy to have so many friends.
Freeload a drink! Feng Xia Qi didnt put on his air of a wangye, Nianer meimei, you dont know, ever since I heard your wine, the wine in the pce cant be stomached!
After Feng Xia Qi finished, everyone nodded in agreement then looked at Lan You Nian, the meaning was obvious, bring out the wine!
What about you? Lan You Nian asked Feng Yi Xuan who has been watching her all this time, other people came for the wine, did hee for the person?
Missed you! Feng Yi Xuan admitted. He didnt know why but he always missed Nian Nian, hating he couldnt keep her at his side all the time.
Lan You Nian had a rare blush on her face. Feng Yi Xuan saying words of love in such a deadly serious matter and it was in front of so many people, even if Lan You Nian was calm, she felt somewhat shy. But fortunately, Lan Qu and Lan Wu brought out the wine, solving Lan You Nians problem of shyness.
IS this the grape wine? Yu Liu Li looked at the red wine in his cup curiously.
En, made with grapes! Lan You Nian nodded.
Indeed, delicious! Hua Mu Qing praised. This was the voice in everyones heart.
Under the moonlight, a group of young men and women sat on the ground, gazing up at the stars in the sky,ughing and ying, bing the most beautiful scenery.
Brother Lan You Nian called out to Lan Mo Xian who was ready to leave, Give this to General Lan! Lan You Nian handed over a jar of wine to Lan Mo Xian. She felt Lan Jian Jun was bing a better father, she wanted to try to ept such a father.
Good! Good! Lan Mo Xian grabbed the wine and happily left with Hua Mu Qing. He knew tonight father will be very happy.
After all the people left, Lan You Nian felt a little dizzy. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into the pavilion. Seeing this, Lan Wu and Lan Qu knew there wasnt anything left for them to do. There was no need for them to serve.
Lan You Nian was in a daze from drinking, so she was particrly obedient. Feng Yi Xuan got hot water to wash Lan You Nians face, wiping her cheeks, hands, and other parts, his eyes were full of tenderness for Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian drowsily prepared to fall down and sleep, because of having such a man beside her, she can peacefully fall asleep.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nian, rubbing Lan You Nians slightly cold hands and feet. Thinking about of the poison on Nian Nians body, his eyes shed with gloominess. Arranging Lan You Nian on the bed, within moments, he carried a basin of hot water.
Carefully removing Lan You Nians footwear, revealing the white as tiny jade feet that werent as big as his hand, every toe was lovely like a small shell, Feng Yi Xuan liked it very much.
cing Lan You Nians little feet in the water, Feng Yi Xuan thought of the techniques written in the medical books, silently pinched Lan You Nians small feet. Because Lan You Nian was afraid of the cold, Feng Yi Xuan always paid attention to these. He knew those afraid of cold should soak their feet at night, so Feng Yi Xuan had no scruples massaging a womans feet.
Lan You Nian dazedly stared at this cold kingly man squatting by the bed carefully massaging her small feet, the pampering in his eyes didnt seem to change. For some reason, a single tear slipped out of Lan You Nians eyes.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan who was soaking Lan You Nians feet was panicked, Nian Nian, whats wrong? Is it ufortable?
Lan You Nian carefully looked over the man in front of her, smiling sweetly, her smile was the snow lotus bathing in the sun after the snow had melted from the mountain top, clear and pure, splendid and holy.
Xuan, I love you! Lan You Nians voice was soft as a feather scratching your heart.
Feng Yi Xuan grinned in joy, the sexy lips couldnt wait to kiss Lan You Nians pink lips. After a moment of biting, gently opened Lan You Nians teeth, his tongue turned around in Lan You Nians mouth, instantly entangling with Lan You Nians fragrant tongue.
Nian Nian, I love you, more than you possibly know!
Chapter 143 - Feng Yi Xuan’s Unhappiness
143 Feng Yi Xuans Unhappiness
I heard An yiniang is currently living in An manor? Lan You Nian nestled in Feng Yi Xuans arms, asking Lan Feng who was outside.
Yes, An yiniang is living in An manor but Lan Ya is still living in the manor! Lan Feng answered. She can sense the imposing aura emanating from young misss room. Lan Feng knew that was due to Ming wang. Seeing that her young miss was being pampered by such a man, Lan Feng felt happy from her heart.
Lan You Nian yawned. Perhaps due to drinkingst night, or because she was made breathless by Feng Yi Xuans kiss, so Lan You Nian didnt get enough sleep.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan didnt sleep wellst night either. He liked kissing Nian Nian but the one to suffer after the kiss was himself. Last night after kissing Nian Nian, he noticed his body was burning up. After putting Nian Nian to sleep, he went to take a cold bath. Because he wanted to be with Nian Nian, so he slept with Nian Nian on the same bed but Nian Nian who has drank alcohol always moved around a lot. Nor was he willing to let go of the girl in his arms. So the entire night, Feng Yi Xuan spent his time between taking cold baths and holding LAn You Nian, really painful and happy at the same time.
Continue sleeping? Feng Yi xuans voice contained tenderness and worry. Because he knew it was almost time for Nian Nians poison to activate this month. Feng Yi Xuans temper couldnt be controlled during this time. Just thinking about Nian Nian being in pain, he wanted to kill people, hating he couldnt hurt for her.
Lan You Nian said to Lan Feng, I heard An manor is holding a banquet?
Yes, young miss, An manors Prime Minister Ans madame is holding a banquet! Lan Feng answered. Because young miss wanted them to pay attention to An manor, so they were aware of An manors every single move.
An yiniang is probably feeling lonely in An manor. Send the housekeeper over! Long thickshes covered up Lan You Nians beautiful and cold eyes, pink lips curled up with a smile, Its time to find a father for my good sister! We cant let her be a girl who doesnt even know her own father!
LAn Fengs cold face smiled, I understand! Lan Feng left the pavilion. She was already dissatisfied with this An yiniang. If she wasnt afraid of young miss getting angry, she would already have dealt with this woman. Now she can finally deal with her.
Seeing Lan Feng leave, Lan You Nian was still feeling sleepy. Seeing Feng Yi Xuan didnt seem to sleep well either, Lan You Nian smiled, Sleep together?
Okay! Feng Yi Xuan cant wait for sleep with Nian Nian. Putting the girl in his arms down, the two slept with their clothes on. Under the nkets, the man held tightly to the girl. The girl in his arms learned against the mans chest sleeping peacefully.
When Lan You Nian woke up, she received An manors invitation. Because the other three countries crown prince and princess well as many young masters came to the exchange meeting, how can Prime Minister An let go of this opportunity? The one who sent out the invitation was Prime Minister Ans wife Qu shi, the invitation was written tactfully, only that Prime Ministers madame wanted to invite everyone toe to Prime Minister Manor to drink tea.
But Prime Minister An manor relied on second wangye Feng Shao Chu. Feng Shao Chu should be trying to make good rtionships with other countries and more clearly demonstrate his second wangyes identity. More importantly, Bai Lian came to Feng country to form a peace marriage. Feng Shao Chu should be nning to marry Bai Lian. After all, to marry another countrys princess, it would be more a little more help.
Nian Nian wants to go? Feng Yi Xuan asked. His Ming wang manor also received an invitation. Whether or not the prime minister was willing, people he should invite he still needed to invite.
Go take a look? Lan You Nian asked. She knew if she went Feng Yi Xuan will go too. However she still wanted to ask Feng Yi Xuans opinion. Otherwise, always making this man follow her, she felt bad for him.
En, we go together? Feng Yi Xuan asked. In fact, he had a little bit of selfish desire. Nian Nian has now revealed her real face so when seeing so many people coveting his Nian Nian, but no one knows that Nian Nian is his, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to dere his ownership in front of the world, blocking in front of Nian Nian.
Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuans thoughts nor has Feng Yi Xuan hid his thoughts in front of her. Lan You Nian thought she and Feng Yi Xuan didnt have much interaction in front of others. This probably made this man ufortable inside. But for her, not wanting to give her trouble, so always carefully protected her behind her back. Such a man, how can she not love?
Good, lets go together! LAn You Nian nodded. Appearing in front of peoples sight with Feng Yi Xuan, many people will suspect their rtionship. After all, Ming wang didnt care for women. There has never been a woman beside him. It was difficult to make people not suspect, but so what?
Hearing LAn You Nians answer, Feng Yi Xuans lips curled. It was just a faint smile but on the handsome face coated it with a touch of softness.
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian came out of Lan manor and prepared to sit in Ming wang manors carriage, Feng Yi Xuans entire mood ckened. Who can tell him why his brother, his friends all came? How can he dere his ownership now?
Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An expressed they were innocent. They just had a good time drinkingst night, today after receiving prime minister manors invitation, wondering if Lan You Nian will be going, if shes going they must escort her, after all, thest time Lan You Nian went to An manor wasnt a good memory.
En, whats wrong? Feng Xia Qi looked at his younger brothers eyes seeming as if he hated he couldnt kill him. He didnt do anything ah! How did he provoke this demon?
Jing Wu An felt innocent too. Feng Yi Xuans cold air cant be endured by normal people. In the past although Feng Yi Xuan was usually cold-tempered but his temper wasnt so elusive. Are all those who fall in love so strange? But he and Liu Li arent like this ah!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer but Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was unhappy. On the rare chance they wanted to let others know about their rtionship, now with Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu Ans interferance, everyone will naturally think Lan manor was with fourth wangyes faction, how can they think more than this?
Feng Yi Xuan helped Lan You Nian up Ming wang manors carriage. Although he wanted to carry Nian Nian up the carriage, he knew how rumors spread. He was willing to let Nian Nian suffer any grievances.
Following behind them up the carriage was Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An. Speaking of which, Feng Yi Xuans carriage only ever sat these few people. Lan You Nian was the first woman to sit in Ming wang manors carriage.
Tsk tsk, AXuan ah, your carriage is the best in the capital, not like my fourth wangye manors carriage, so pitiful! Feng Xia Qi looked at the decoration and making of the carriage, all of which were the best.
If youre not sitting then scram! Feng Yi Xuan didnt give Feng Xia Qi any face. He was still in a bad mood.
Feng Xia Qi was sure that his young brother must be in a bad mood so Feng Xia Qi discreetly nced at Lan You Nian, his eyes asking whats wrong. But this nce made Feng Yi Xuan even more unhappy. In front of his face, he dared to make eyes at Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuans eyes squinted, a violent air formed around him, like god of death on the mortal ne. Following, the popping of bones echoed, as if he wanted to rip apart the one who dared to provoke his precious treasure.
Feng Xia Qi chuckled nervously, immediately sitting beside Jing Wu An, feeling stuffy inside. It was such hard work having such a brother.
Feng Yi xuan was used to being unbridled. In the past for the imperial familys banquets, if he wanted to go, he will go, if he didnt then he wont even show his face, so today they already started off a littlete so when the four of them arrived at prime ministers manor, everyone were already there.
Nianer meimei! Hua Mu Qing shouted from Lan Mo Xians side. She came with Lan Mo Xian, so were already there much earlier.
Today Lan You Nian didnt wear a veil as she stood by Feng Yi Xuans side. The mans posture was straight as a pine, his face as enchanting as a rose, with a noble air. The girl beside him wore white, petite and delicate, her facial features exquisite and beautiful with a cold and pure air. Everyone felt they were well-matched.
Lan You Nian smiled at Hua Mu Qing. Under the sunlight, the girls hand was soft, with creamy skin, a long white neck, and straight white teeth, smiling beautifully. It made many of the men present lose their souls.
Chapter 144 - An Yiniang is Caught
144 An Yiniang is Caught
Hua Xiu Yi looked at the girl whose every smile can enter anyones heart, then looked at the hand that once touched the girls eyes, as well as the slight pain of the wound on his abdomen, the smile on his lips became even more wicked.
Originally he only felt this girl was different from everyone else but now Hua Xiu Yi feels that as long as this girl appears, he will always involuntarily look at her, thinking of the countless concubines in his own harem but there wasnt a single woman with any status. Maybe its time he should have a crown princess.
Hua Xiu Yis interested eyes were noticed by Lan You Nian but Lan You Nian didnt pay much attention to it. If this Hua countrys crown princess cant see the situation and provoke her, Lan You Nian cant guarantee she cause trouble for Feng Yi Xuan and kill this person.
How can Hua Xiu Yis undisguised gaze cannot be concealed by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans lips curled into a faint smile, in the depths of his eyes, the intertwining frost gradually formed into ciers.
When Hua Xiu Yi saw Feng Yi Xuan revealed his killing intent towards him, his gemstone eyes glimmered with spring, his smile emitting a soul-stealing allurement.
Two men, one much like a king filled with unstoppable domineering and arrogance, one like a demon filled with wickedness and allure. These two men because of that fairy-like woman faced headon with each other, the air seemed to be oppressive.
The first to retract his gaze was Feng Yi Xuan, not because he was afraid of Hua Xiu Yi, but because in Feng Yi Xuans eyes Hua Xiu Yi would never get Nian Nians love, because this girl was his, can only be his. Whoever dared topete with him, he will send them down to hell!
Lan Mo Xian listened to his fiancee Hua Mu Qing telling him what his little sister wanted him to do. Although he was confused, Lan Mo Xian knew his sister knew what she was doing. Since little sister wanted him to do this, she must have her own reason.
This banquet was simply just second wangye Feng Shao Chu constantly gathering this representatives to his side, hoping these representatives can have a high opinion of him. He wanted to incur Yue Bai Lian but its a pity that Yue Bai Lian has been following Lan You Nian. He didnt have a chance to get close to the beauty.
Old Madame An, before heading out today, father told this junior to bring An yiniang back to Lan manor, after all, An yiniang is Lan manors yiniang, it is illogical for her to stay at An manor! Lan Mo Xian said directly, although he would rather An yiniang never returns to Lan manor.
With Lan Mo Xians words, everyones eyes looked towards Old Madame An subtly After all, some time ago, the things that happened at Wu Qing Medical Hall was clear in these peoples minds and felt An yiniang was hateful. But Lan Jian Jun didnt say anything so what right did others have to judge? Yet no one expected that An manor dared to take in this unscrupulous woman, really unfortunate for the family.
Old Madame Ans somewhat graying hairs was done into a loose duoma hairstyle, pinned with a gilded ruby hairpin, ga-red earrings, plus with her good care, a soft and dignified face, along with the red coat, her whole person looked like a beautiful matron in her early forties.
This old womans daughter is just living in An manor for a few days, does Lan manor want to question this? Old Madame An said with displeasure. An yiniang was Old Madame Ans youngest daughter, always been her favorite but didnt expect such a daughter will like a married man, even willing to enter Lan manor as a concubine. Old Madame An although hated iron for not turning into steel but this was after all her favorite child, how can she not care? After such a big scandal happened some time ago, Prime Minister An has given up on An yiniang this child, Old Madame An didnt dare say more, waiting for Prime Minister Ans anger to dissipate before bringing her daughter back into An manor, thinking of ways to let her daughter to get back her status.
Dont look at how Lan Mo Xian seems stupid in front of his little sister, in fact he wasnt someone easy to deal with. To rise to the position of General Che Qi at his age, he wasnt an easy person.
What Old Madame An says is reasonable but An yiniang is fathers concubine, a concubine that doesnt return home, its againstmon practice! Lan Mo Xian didnt give way, the gentle smile on his lips didnt change.
Lan Mo Xians words made Old Madame Ans face cken. Their An manor whether it was son or daughter were all people who can be brought to the table, her eldest daughter was even an Empress, but this daughter was so stupid.
Everyone agreed with Lan Mo Xians words. Let alone a concubine even the official wife, if she didnt have her husbands permission, she cant go back to her maiden home. For An yiniang a concubine to do this, daring to return to An manor without saying a word, such a concubine without any manners should be divorced!
Since Lan manor says this, afterwards this old woman will let daughter return to Lan manor! Old Madame An knew there wasnt any use disputing these. Their An manor didnt stand in the right. Old Madame An was afraid once Prime Minister An returns if he knew about this, he will bepletely disappointed in their little daughter, then no one will help little daughter in the future.
Lan Mo Xian shook his head, seemingly respectful but actually forceful as he said to Old Madmae An, No need to bother Old Madame An, Mo Xian will take An yiniang back, father is still waiting in the manor!
Old Madame An didnt expect Lan Mo Xian this junior to be so forceful, really a crude one, indeed what kind of father will have what kind of son.
Lan Mo Xian felt he was very innocent. This was his little sisters orders, no matter what, he must get it done. In the past he didnt protect his little sister but now he will be the backing behind his sister.
Good, very good! Old Madame An sneered at Lan Mo Xian and towards the servant girl beside her, Go call out young miss! Although An yiniang has married out many years but An manor kept calling her young miss. It can be said this entire An manor only Old Madame An was sincere towards An yiniang, but its a pity that An yiniang had a father who favored power.
Lan You Nian gave Hua Mu Qing a look, Hua Mu Qing instantly understood.
Ai! Hua Mu Qing stood up, This junzhu better go ask An yiniang to return, otherwise Im afraid An yiniang isnt willing!
Although everyone didnt understand whats up with Hua Mu Qing but Hua Mu Qing was a entric person in this circle anyways, everyone was used to it already.
Old Madame An wanted to refuse but thinking if she breached propriety in front of the other three kingdoms, she will be ridiculed by all. She can only let Hua Mu Qing follow the servant girl to call out her little daughter.
Yue Bai Lian saw Lan You Nians lips curl coldly, asking a little hesitantly, Nianer, this is a y? Yue Bai Lian was a smart woman so she thought this y must be designed by Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian didnt deny it, Inviting you to see a good y, otherwise itd be too boring sitting here for no reason!
Yue Bai Lian nodded, but knew Lan You Nian and An manor werent on good terms so she didnt like An manor either. She felt that Lan You Nian was wronged just sitting here.
Ah Hua Mu Qing ran into the garden screaming.
Lan You Nian nearly spewed out the tea she was drinking. She looked at Hua Mu Qings pretending to be horrified act, rolling over inughter inside. She didnt expect Hua Mu Qing to be so exaggerated to attract attention.
Junzhu! Old Madame An snapped, Junzhu making such noise isnt decent! Old Madame An felt that today nothing is going as nned.
Hua Mu Qing ran to Lan Mo Xians side, slightly panting, This junzhu saw...saw...
Lan Mo Xian although was holding up Hua Mu Qing but knew Hua Mu Qing was shaking withughter, he didnt expose her, knowing this was definitely his sisters masterpiece, he can only cooperate.
Junzhu, what did you see? Dont fear, everyone is here! Jing Wu An nced at Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan, intuition tells him that this must be designed by them, will be simply push the boat.
I saw An yiniang... Hua Mu Qing seemed embarrassed to continue, making everyone anxious, after all those watching the fun wasnt afraid of the matter being too big.
This princess thinks everyone should go take a look! Yue Bai Lian stood up making Yue Qian Ling puzzled. After all, she somewhat understood Yue Bai Lians personality, how can she bother with another countrys matters?
The princess has spoke, even if Old Madame An wasnt pleased, she cant refuse. If she refused, it would make people think An manor has something that cant be seen in public.
Feng Xia Qi squinted his eyes smiling, Since Princess Bai Lian says so, I think everyone should go take a look!
Hearing this, everyone followed Hua Mu Qing to the inner courtyard. This situation was simr to thest banquet. Everyone had some doubts while Old Madame An was a little afraid, She didnt know what she was afraid of. This was An manor, who had that ability to scheme here? But she was still afraid.
When Old Madame An came to her little daughters room and saw everything, she almost fainted....
The door was open. Her little daughter, An yiniang, was entangled in bed with a middle aged man. That ambiguous sounds made everyone present despise to the extreme. Everyone doubted Prime Minister manor what seemed serious and upright was actually like this, was it because it was unseemly originally? Everyone time something happens it was at An manor, making many people suspect how dirty An manor was. The matrons present all decided to let their own children not get too close to An manor.
Lan You Nian chose An manor for a reason. Such a scandal cant happen in Lan manor. This was lose Lan Jian Juns face. But if it happened in An manor, everyone will suspect theres something wrong with An manors traditions.
Hmph! Lan Mo Xian shouted furiously at the guards, Drag out those two adulterers!
Some guards dragged An yiniang and that middle aged man out. An yiniang and the man instantly woke up, without any trace of being drugged.
An yiniang looked at everything that happened with shock. She was a master of the matters in the inner courtyard for many years, how can she not tell she has been schemed against? She knew she was finished!
Ah! Lan You Nian deliberately tugged Yue Bai Lian saying in shock, This, isnt this my Lan manors housekeeper?
When everyone heard this, it was even more unexpected. Lan manors housekeeper appearing in An manor, much less appearing in An yinaings bed, An manor probably deliberately indulged this. Otherwise a housekeeper of another manor how can he enter Prime Minister Manors inner courtyard?
Such ascivious woman shouldnt she be drowned? Yue Bai Lian asked, her expression was full of disgust.
Hearing this everyone nodded in agreement. True, a woman like An yiniang should be drowned, not only was she a loose woman, she dares to carry on an affair in her maiden home. It changed how everyone looked at An manor.
Chapter 145 - Dog Bite Dog
145 Dog Bite Dog
No, no! An yiniang begged with terror. If she was drowned, then she wont have anything. She still had many things she didnt do yet. She was not willing to ept defeat.
Doing such a thing, yet you still have no shame to plead for mercy? This junzhu thinks she should be directly drowned! Hua Mu Qing said. Although usually, she was a kind person, she was only kind towards those she approved of. How many children in the capital grow up to be kind?
Junzhu is correct. From how I see it, if the upper beam isnt straight, then the lower ones will go ant. Last time it was An yiniangs daughter, this time its herself. If shes not drowned, Im afraid many people will ignore propriety! a matron who is usually in disagreement with An yiniang approved.
No, you dont have the right to do this! An yiniang was sprawled over the floor with her clothes in disarray, exposing the red dudou inside, I want to see master! I am wrongly used!
An yiniang knew that at this moment, no one can save her. Father wasnt a reliable person. For something like this to happen, shes afraid the first to kill her will be her own father. Although mother had the heart to protect her, mother didnt have this ability. Now, she can only return to Lan manor to ask for masters mercy. Right! Go to master!! Last time it was found out that her son wasnt masters own flesh and blood, master didnt dispose of her then now master will definitely let her go. As long as she still lived, it was good!
Lan Mo Xian almostughed from An yiniangs shameless behavior. He wanted to kill this old hag a long time ago, but An yiniang had the Prime minister manor and an empress backing her so she cant be easily touched. Now An yiniang did such a thing in public, its understandable if he killed her!
Lan Mo Xians eyes filled with killing intent as he prepared to kill An yiniang but Lan You Nians voice interrupted...
Can everyone listen to this girls words? Lan You Nians voice was melodic as if the music of the heavens, stirring peoples hearts and souls. She was in the position to offer her opinion on this matter.
Lan You Nian curtsied to everyone, her etiquette was elegant without any ce to pick any faults, making the matrons present want to marry this girl into their home for their son.
An yiniang did such a shameless act, ording tomon practice, she should she drowned, but no matter what An yiniang does, she is my Lan manors concubine. This girl hopes to bring An yiniang and this man back to Lan manor to let General Lan decide for himself. What does everyone think? Lan You Nian said softly, even the smile on her lips was just right. If they were familiar with Lan You Nian, they would know that smile was merely a mask.
When An yiniang heard Lan You Nians words, she felt that there was a ray of hope in her life. As long as she returns to Lan manor, she will beg for master to let her go.
When everyone heard Lan You Nians words, they felt Lan You Nian was a sensible girl. No matter how many unscrupulous things An yiniang has done, An yiniang was still Lan manors concubine. Therefore, An yiniangs matters will be dealt with by Lan manor. What An yiniang did was having an affair, the one to lose face is General Lan. If this made General Lan kill An yiniang, it wasnt impossible.
Miss Lan is right! Everyone nodded but spat at An yiniang, such a woman made men and women feel disgusted.
En, I think sister said it well! Lan Mo Xian nodded. Although he didnt understand what his little sister wanted to do, no matter what she did, he as her older brother will unconditionally support her. Little sister didnt want An yiniang to die right now, then he will let her live one more day.
What does Old Madame An think? Lan Mo Xian asked purposely.
Old Madame An felt if her daughter went back to Lan manor, she is really done for. She can be killed off in all justification. Old Madame An trembled as she said, Its An manors teachings that arent strict, let her stay in An manor to ept punishment!
Old Madame An had a good idea. She wasnt willing to let her little daughter die, so she said these words but An yiniang panicked.
No, I want to return to Lan manor, I want to return to Lan manor! An yiniang didnt understand her mothers intentions. She thought mother wanted her to stay in An manor to wait for father to return to deal with her.
Old Madame An looked at the little daughter who cant see the situation and felt a burst of anger and didnt speak anymore. If she said anymore, shes afraid how the capital will talk about her An manor tomorrow. The reputation An manor has built up for so many years will probably be destroyed.
In this case, then this junior will leave! Lan Mo Xian waved his hand, and there was someone to drag An yiniang and the steward, departing with him from An manor.
Old Madame An watched as her own daughter was dragged away like a rag, knowing her daughter wont have a good ending and fainted.
Old Madame! The servant girls panicked, the entire An manor was a mess...
When Lan Jian Jun received the news and came back from the military camp, he headed over to You Nian Pavilion. As soon as he stepped into You Nian Pavilions courtyard, he saw his own daughter sitting on a high soft stool while his son sat beside his daughter. In the courtyard on the cold stone groundid An yiniang and the steward.
Father! Lan Mo Xian greeted Lan Jian Jun and let Lan Jian Jun sit down. He was feeling unfair for his father. There was no peace with such a woman living in the manor, though he knew this was designed by his sister.
Lan Jian Jun nodded sitting down without a nce at An yiniang or the steward. Maybe others thought he wore a green hat (idiom: cheated on), but he didnt consider An yiniang to be his woman nor has he ever touched An yiniang, so he didnt care for how An yiniang was. Now that things have developed into this, Lan Jian Jun knew that this matter was his daughters doing.
Nianer? Lan Jian Jun looked at Lan You Nian who was silent, not knowing what Lan You Nian wanted to do.
Lan You Nians smile was clean and childlike, but it was like the cub waving its ws in the dark forest, quietly revealing its fangs, Let you see the truth...
The truth? What truth? Lan Jian Jun was puzzled but knew this wasnt the time to ask. Since daughter said to let him see the truth, then hell quietly watch.
Master! An yiniang crawled over to Lan Jian Jun crying, Master, this concubine is wrongly used. This concubine was just resting in the room but didnt expect to wake up to such a thing. Master, you must believe this concubine!
Wrongly used? Lan You Nian kicked An yiniang far away, the disgust in her eyes was evident, If you are wrongly used, why are An yiniangs children not General Lans? Now that you have been caught in bed, you still plead your innocence?
An yiniang hurt from Lan You Nians kick but she ignored her own physical pain, quickly exining, This concubine doesnt know! This concubine only has master in her heart!
Lan Jian Jun watched An yiniang kneeling on the ground knocking her head on the ground, but there wasnt any change in his countenance. Even if his daughter doesnt do anything, he will take care of An yiniang. He will never forget it was because of this woman that his daughter will suffer so much.
Oh? An yiniang is quite strange. While having your husband in your heart, you still do such shameless things, hehe! Lan You Nian sipped the tea handed to her by Lan Qu while saying sarcastically.
An yiniang looked at Lan You Nian who was sitting there like a princess while she was kneeling in front of her like a stray dog. She can clearly see the disdain and mockery in Lan You Nians eyes. Mockery? An yiniang suddenly understand something.
Its you! You did it right? You framed me, didnt you!? An yiniang wanted to crawl over to Lan You Nian to tear at Lan You Nian. Would Lan Jian Jun give her this chance? Of course not. The one to kick An yiniang this time was Lan Jian Jun.
A concubine dares to not know the rules? Lan You Nian said to Lan Wu beside her. Lan Wu instantly understand what her young miss meant. Walking over to An yiniang, she gave a flew ps to her face. A few pster, she still didnt enjoy it enough.
An yiniang you say you are wrongly used, it is not impossible. But I am puzzled at why the steward appeared in An manor and in your bed? Lan You Nian looked at the steward who kept shaking over there.
An yiniang didnt expect for Lan You Nian to say this, those words are in favor of her, but An yiniang didnt have extra thoughts to try to figure out why Lan You Nian was doing this. She only wanted to live, so the steward...
This concubine doesnt know, it must be the steward! An yiniang said to Lan Jian Jun, It must be the stewards evil n! Its nned by the steward!
An yiniang has moved with ease through Lan manor for so many years. The steward was her most powerful minion. But in the face of life and death, An yiniang didnt hesitate to push the steward out. An yiniang knew that this matter was already final, then she can only find someone scapegoat and this scapegoat can only be the steward.
The steward didnt expect An yiniang to break the bridge after crossing. He didnt even figure out what was going on. He was in the manor, but after waking up, he was entangled with An yiniang. Although he was afraid, he didnt expect An yiniang will let him take all the me.
Oh? It turns out this sly ve caused all this? Lan You Nian nodded, seemingly believing An yiniangs words, Zhang Lin, drag the steward out to be executed!
Zhang Lin immediately stood up and dragged the steward to prepare for execution.
No! The steward crawled over to An yiniang, An yiniang it has nothing to do with this old ve! An yiniang save me! The steward only wanted An yiniang to save her. All these years, hes done so much for An yiniang, how can An yiniang not save him!
Lan You Nians lips curled with a cold smile watching the farce in front of her, slowly saying, An yiniang wants to save this unscrupulous ve? Or does An yiniang have an opinion of how I handled this?
An yiniang ignored the stewards pleading and said to Lan You Nian, Third miss handled this well, this must be done by this ve!
The steward was scared by An yiniangs cold-blooded look. He knew An yiniang wont save him today. An yiniang was heartless first, so dont me him for being disloyal!
The stewards expression was glimpsed by Lan You Nian. She wanted this effect, watching dog biting dog, watching their own people tearing the matters of the past apart.
Young miss, this old ve has something to say! The steward pleaded to Lan You Nian. He can see that An yiniang isnt reliable. She is probably hoping for his death while General Lan and eldest master both listen to young miss so the steward can only plead with young miss.
Lan You Nian waved her hand, Zhang Lin let go of the steward. The steward knelt on the ground, Young miss, this old ve knows a lot, asking young miss for mercy!
Lan Qu nced at the steward. A ve dares to negotiate conditions with young miss? Really has a lot of guts!
Okay! Lan You Nian stood up, If you say something this young miss doesnt know, this young miss wont kill you! This young miss keeps to her word!
Having Lan You Nians assurance, the steward sighed in relief, but An yiniang started to shake. She now knows what Lan You Nian wanted to do. She forced her to abandon the steward. The steward knows many things about her, once its revealed, the result...
What truth can a ve say? An yiniang screamed crazily, Drag him out!
But You Nian Pavilions guards didnt drag out the steward. Instead, they suppressed An yiniang on the ground, preventing her from moving and stuffed An yiniangs mouth, to save her from dirtying their young misss ears.
Speak! Lan You Nian said to the steward. Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian now knew what Lan You Nian wanted to do. The things of the past were too long ago, it was difficult to investigate, but it was easy to get the answer from An yiniangs minion.
In the past, An yiniang told this old ve to send young miss to a brothel and to deliberately ruin young miss! The steward had yet to finish, the stone table beside Lan Jian Jun cracked open. How old was Lan You Nian that year? An yiniang dared to so filthy!
Lan You Nian appeasingly patted Lan Jian Juns hand and said to the steward, Continue! Say something this young miss doesnt know otherwise you dont need to live!
That year Madames premature birth was caused by An yiniang. If it werent because of An yiniang, then Madame wouldnt die!
Chapter 146 - An Yiniang’s Punishment
146 An Yiniangs Punishment
The stewards words were like lightning striking Lan Jian Juns heart. Lan Jian Jun felt that even the bright sun in the sky has turned ck.
What did you say? Lan Jian Jun dragged up the steward from the ground, fiercely saying, Say it again!
That year Madames premature birthing and death were all nned by an yiniang. Its all done by An yiniang! The steward choked out.
Lan Jian Jun dropped the steward on the ground, his entire body was frozen there. He always thought his wife died during the premature birth due to poor health so all these years, he loved and hated this only daughter. But now he knows this was all man-made. Not only didnt he protect his wife, but he also ced all these faults on an innocent baby.
Lan Jian Juns entire world changed, bing a haze...
Father! Lan Mo Xian anxiously shouted. He didnt expect the father who was so strong in the past to fall straight over after hearing the truth.
Lan You Nians eyes wereplicated looking at the fallen Lan Jian Jun. He really loves mother. Otherwise, he wont suffer such a blow after learning the truth. But Lan You Nian didnt know, the other reason Lan Jian Jun fell over was because of her, because of his guilt towards her.
Lan You Nians white hand took Lan Jian Juns pulse, then to the anxious Lan Mo Xian, Brother, dont worry, General Lan is fine. Help him back to his courtyard to rest!
Lan Mo Xian nodded, and with Zhang Lins help, assisted Lan Jian Jun from You Nian Pavilion. He knew his sister will take care of the other things.
Young, young miss... The steward stuttered, Young miss please let go of this old ve!
Lan You Nians long and thick eyshes covered her frosty pupils, pink lips tugged into a light smile, En!
Then Lan Ren walked over to the steward and took care of the steward with one sh, the technique was swift without any hesitation. The steward stared with wide eyes at Lan You Nian. He didnt expect Lan You Nian to not keep to her promise.
This young miss agreed not to kill you, let you go, but only I agreed Lan You Nians pink and seductive lips tugged into a wicked smile, thick and curlyshes trembled, covering up the moving cold eyes, But it doesnt mean that others wont kill you. You see, the one who killed you isnt me!
The steward gaped with eyes that were full of regrets as he died in You Nian Pavilions courtyard. Lan Ren dragged out the stewards body, preventing the thick smell of blood to dirty You Nian Pavilions flowers fragrance.
Wuwu... An yiniang stared in horror at Lan You Nian as if watching a demon, seeing Lan You Nian was sly as a fox, killing like a ghost, she was terrified. She didnt expect the steward to confess everything.
Lan Wu took out the rag in An yiniangs mouth. An yiniang watched Lan You Nian like a stray dog, Third miss, you are generous, please spare me. I promise, I promise I wont do anything in the future. third miss you can order me to do anything, third miss, third miss...
Third miss? Lan You Nians eyes were dark and deep, like an endless ck hole, making people afraid, making people horrified, making people want to escape, I dont remember theres another young miss in the manor. Isnt Lan Yas the stewards daughter?
You? An yiniang gaped with wide eyes at Lan You Nian. She didnt expect Lan You Nian to be so ruthless, not only wanted her to die, but she also wanted to ruin her only daughter. If people thought Lan Yas father was a servant, then Lan Yas life will be miserable.
You have a ruthless heart! An yiniangs shouted with her raspy voice, You, its all you, everything was your doing right? Zhiers matters were done by you, Yiner also died because of you, now you want to harm Yaer and me? I want to tell master, I will let master see your true face!
Oh? Lan You Nian slowly approached An yiniang, as An yiniang retreated in horror, she came to An yiniangs side, leaning over to An yiniangs ear, Dont you know this was all permitted by Lan Jian Jun?
No! An yiniang shook her head in pain, You are lying to me, you are talking nonsense!
Talking nonsense? Lan You Nian suddenlyughed out loud, Arent you curious why your children arent General Lans flesh and blood?
No, no! I wont listen! An yiniang covered her ears.
Because, from the beginning, General Lan didnt touch you. The one who slept with you was someone else. An yiniang, you are truly pitiful, Lan You Nian then headed up the pavilion. To Lan Feng, Watch her, let General Lan handle it!
Yes! Lan Feng responded then let the guards drag An yiniang out. Watching Lan You Nians figure walking up the pavilion by herself, she felt sour inside. Lan Feng knew young miss still cared for Lan Jian Jun. Otherwise, she wouldnt do so much.
In the middle of the night, Lan Jian Jun woke up and looked at the son who was standing beside his bed. Lan Jian Jun sighed, Mo Xian, how much has father done wrong?
Lan Mo Xian learning the truth of why his mother died, his heart felt shocked and angry. There werent any suspicious points about the matter of the past, but now there seem to be so many questionable points. From sisters expression, she probably already knew mothers death was suspicious.
Father, things have passed. Mother wouldnt want father to mournful! Lan Mo xianforted. He didnt want father to live in remorse. This cant be med on father.
Father knows you are aforting father! Lan Jian Jun looked at the son who has grown up, Father is fine, father still has to protect Nianer. Father wont make the same mistake in the future!
Father, little sister and fathers rtionship is a lot better. Didnt she brew wine for father the other day? Lan Mo Xian exined, Little sister has investigated this matter, little sister is detaining An yiniang in the woodshed waiting for father to take care of. Little sister still cares about father!
Lan Jian Jun after his sons words felt a little better, but his heart felt astringent for such a sensible daughter. He would rather Nianer was arrogant and trouble-making, even if she caused a disaster, it didnt matter because he as her father will protect her, not like this, at such a young age, so sensible and know how to scheme.
Its time to end this matter! Lan Jian Jun said getting up from the bed and headed towards the woodshed. Lan Mo Xian because he was worried about his father also followed Lan Jian Jun to the woodshed.
When Lan Jian Jun opened the doors of the woodshed, he saw the disheveled An yiniang who was going crazy lying in the firewood room.
An yiniang heard the doors opening and looked over. Under the light of thentern, Lan Jian Juns face was illuminated, although it had wrinkles, it was still handsome. IT was that face that made her infatuated with first sight, using all unscrupulous means to marry this man, reaping what she sowed, falling into this present situation.
Lan Jian Jun! It was the first time An yiniang called his name in front of him. She didnt hide her shrewish attitude, You are heartless!
Lan Jian Juns fierce eyes were like an unsheathed sword, shooting at An yiniang. His voice was somber, An yiniang, if you knew your ce, I can let you live without worries, but you dared to touch I Lan Jian Juns most precious people, you deserve to die!
Hahaha! An yiniang looked at the man who has never loved her, the man who didnt even touch her. Now for a dead woman, he wanted her to die, An yiniang felt she was really like as ridiculous as a clown.
Lan Jian Jun! Haha, not only should I have killed He Xiao Ran that slut, I should have killed Lan You Nian that slut as well! An yiniangughed with curses flying, her eyes shing with madness.
Boom!
Lan Jian Jun used a palm to cause An yiniang to lift off the ground, then fall down. She spat out blood, clearly suffering from severe internal injury.
Someone! Lan Jian Jun shouted. In the firewood room walked in Lan Jian Juns personal guards.
Dont let her die. Every day hit her where it hurts. One day cant be missed. If she cant take it anymore, give her the best medicine to let her hang on. This general wants her to suffer alive! Lan Jian Juns voice contained the cold and bloodthirstiness of the battlefield. He will not easily let go of any people who hurt his family.
AhAh In the quiet general manor, screams wereing from the firewood room, but no one dared to say anything. All the servants in General manor saw that the real master of Lan manor was Lan You Nian.
Mo Xian, pass on that Lan manor will only have eldest miss Lan You Nian and eldest master Lan Mo Xian. There arent any other children! Lan Jian Jun said to his son. Whether it was reputation or life, he must give his daughter the best.
Son understands! Lan Mo xian responded. He also thought that a woman like Lan Ya wasnt worthy of being a child of Lan manor, letting little sister call her older sister was a grievance to Nianer meimei. They wont transfer their anger on Lan Ya due to An yiniangs matters, but if Lan Ya doesnt know her ce, then they dont mind killing one more person.
Chapter 147 - Valiant Bai Lian
147 Valiant Bai Lian
Feng Yi Xuan apanied Lan You Nian for breakfast before leaving. With his status, he still needed to take care of many other things. At first, Feng Yi Xuan didnt want to go but when Lan You Nian saw An Yis resentful eyes, she coaxed Feng Yi Xuan. After all, she wont run!
Young miss, theres news from the visitor pce! Lan Ren stood beside Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian put down the scissors she was trimming the flower branches with, thinking that the representatives of each country were living in the visitors pce, she didnt let Lan Ren and the others monitor the visitor pce. Besides Bai Lian who was her concern, the other people can get lost.
Whats wrong? asked Lan You Nian.
Representatives of each country, ording to the rules, need to pick a person from Feng country to apany them. Hua countrys crown prince and Yue countrys Princess Qian Ling both named young miss. His Majesty seems to have agreed! Lan Ren said with dissatisfaction. Their young misss time was extremely valuable. Where does she have the leisure to apany those people? But His Majesty already agreed, if she directly resisted imperial decree, it wont be any good.
Lan You Nians lips tugged upwards, as if there was a flower of the dark blooming on her lips. Most likely, this Hua Xiu Yi has some kind of plot against her. She can tell this person wasnt easy to deal with from how he killed off so many of the wangyes in Hua country. This persons martial arts was also better than hers. Lan You Nian didnt want to offend such a person but if he acted like the other day, then she wont hold back. She now had Feng Yi Xuan in her heart, no one can touch her.
Lan You Nian thought of Yue Qian Ling. It seems this princess didnt learn to behave from what happened in the grand hall. From the information she received, she noticed Bai Lian and this Yue Qian Ling had enmity between them. Lan You Nians eyes shed with interest. Should she hep Bai Lian kill off Yue Qian Ling or let Bai Lian do it herself?
Do I need to go to the visitors pce today? Lan You Nian asked, her face was clearly written with reluctance. However, Lan You Nian didnt know, many youngdies of the capital hoped to have this opportunity to approach the representatives of other countries, many more volunteer their services, but its a pity they werent chosen by anyone.
Yes, today you need to go to the visitors pce to apany them to admire flowers! Lan Ren thought of the invitation he received, rolling his eyes mentally. They best no provoke young miss, otherwise admiring flowers will be destroying them. Although young miss considered herself one of Lan manors people, more or less had some scruples while doing things but that doesnt mean young miss will tolerate.
Does Xuan know? Lan You Nian thought if Feng Yi xuan knew, he will probably rush back from the military camp.
The decree just came down, Ming wang is still at the military camp. He probably hasnt received the news Lan Ren answered. Their young miss seems to care more and more for this Ming wang, If young miss doesnt want to go, then refuse. His Majesty wouldnt me young miss!
Lan You Nian knew there wasnt any problems if she didnt go. After all, this Ming wang as her biggest backing is very reliable. However, although Lan You Nian has now learned to rely on Feng Yi xuan, but she wasnt a little white flower who cant handle anything.
Go, why wouldnt I go? Lan You Nian said and then headed into the pavilion to change clothes.
When Lan You Nian came to the fine scenery of the visitors pce, she saw the people sitting in the garden admiring flowers. Lan You Nian didnt expect to see Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi saw Lan You Nian, he stood up, saying, Waited for you for a long time!
Lan You Nian saw that all the people who should be there, were all there while she, the one who was supposed to apany them, was thest to arrive. It didnt seem appropriate but Lan You Nian didnt care about these.
Nianer, youre here! Yue Bai Lian happily walked over to Lan You Nian, thinking for a long time before holding Lan You Nians white hands, pulling Lan You Nian over to her own seat to sit down beside her.
Yue Qian Ling saw such a beautiful Lan You Nian, her mouth unconsciously saying, Just a legitimate daughter of a general, yet dares to put on airs, making everyone waiting for so long, really doesnt know whats appropriate!
Should a princess have your aggressive attitude? If you dont want to say, then go back! Bai Lian snapped, her eyes shing with hatred. She and Yue Qian Ling had a hatred that wouldnt end until death. This time returning to the country, she was too hasty so there wasnt a chance to make a move. Now theyve departed from Yue country, if something happens to Yue Qian Ling, it will implicate Feng country so Bai Lian had yet to make a move. But if Yue Qian Ling picks trouble with master, she will definitely kill her!
You! Yue Qian Ling pointed at Yue Bai Lian. She has never liked Yue Bai Lian this imperial sister because since they were little, Yue Bai Lian was more beautiful than her. Many young masters all liked Yue Bai Lian while ignoring her. Later, that thing happened, she let Yue Bai Lian diappear from Yue country. She thought Yue Bai Lian already died but didnt expect her toe back. She even let imperial father agree to let here to Feng country for the peace marriage. Yue Qian Ling has observed all of Feng countrys wangye, almost every one was very good, such good men, how can she let Yue Bai Lian gain this advantage?
This wang agrees with Princess Bai Lians words. If Princess Qian Ling doesnt want to enjoy the flowers, you should go back to rest! Feng Xia Qi dropped his warm smile, those fox eyes did not have any warmth. This morning, he learned that imperial father let Lan You Niane to the visitors pce so he asked toe too so he can protect Lan You Nian, although sometimes Feng Xia Qi knew Lan You Nian wasnt so easily bullied.
Being disdained by such a good-looking and good-tempered man, Yue Qian Ling felt humiliated but she wasnt willing to go back like this. If she went back like this, doesnt that mean shes afraid of Lan You Nian as well as letting Yue Bai Lian having contact with Hua countrys crown prince and Feng countrys fourth wangye?
A beautiful woman like Miss Lan, no matter how long, its all worth waiting for! Hua Xiu Yiughed sinfully, his narrow eyes profanely looking at Lan You Nian. The average woman wouldnt be able to resist his sinful looks, for example, Yue Qian Ling who was sitting beside Hua Xiu Yi had her eyes glued to him.
Feng Xia Qi winkled his brows. He felt there was something wrong with how Hua countrys crown prince treated Lan You Nian. Since the moment Nianer meimei stepped into the garden, this Hua Xiu Yis eyes hasnt shifted away from Nianer meimei. This Hua Xiu Yis gaze was too invasve, making Feng Xia Qi a little worried for Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian didnt follow up Hua Xiu Yis words,pletely ignoring Hua Xiu Yi. Everyone was surprised that Lan You Nian didnt give Hua Xiu Yi any face. Everyone waited for Hua Xiu Yi to get angry. After all, Hua Xiu Yi might look like hes easy to talk to, but rumors have it that Hua Xiu Yi had a short temper. But Hua Xiu Yi only smiled at Lan You Nian without any displeasure.
With this, Feng Xia Qi was even more guarded against this Hua Xiu Yi. He knew how enchanting and attractive Lan You Nian was to other people. If it provoked this Hua Xiu Yi, there wouldnt be an end to it. His younger brother finally found someone to love, no matter what, he cant let other people destroy it.
Towards Feng Xia Qis defensiveness against him, Hua Xiu Yi only chuckled but didnt speak. He was currently fascinated by Lan You Nian. There has never been a woman who made him have such a strong curiosity. Towards this womans rudeness, he didnt have any displeasure or desire to kill. Hua Xiu Yi was curious about this unexinable feeling. But many times, the fall begins with curiosity.
Since Miss Lan is Miss Miao Yin, I often hear people say how wonderful Miss Lans music is, how about let Miss Lan y a song to liven things up for everyone today? Yue Qian Ling who was just silent for a while started to be restless again.
In the garden, not only was there Pei Fu, Hua Xiu Yi, and Yue Bai Lian, there was also high-ranking officials and young masters of the three countries. Having Lan You Nian performance, wasnt it making Lan You Nian into an entertainer? Liven things up, isnt that something done by dancers?
Its only flower-watching, what livening does it need? If it needs to be livened up, how about Princess Qian Ling perform? Feng Xia qi sat beside Lan You Nian, the partiality between his words was obvious. It made many people aware that Lan You Nian, this Lan manors legitimate daughter, had Feng countrys fourth wanyes support.
The more Yue Qian Ling saw others defend Lan You Nian, the more she hated Lan You Nian. She felt all mens gaze she follow her. Bai Lian cant vie with her, Lan You Nian couldnt either!
This princess thinks this suggestion is excellent. Imperial sister, how about a performance, what does everyone think? Yue Bai Lian caressed her noble sleeves, her lips sarcastic as she looked at Yue Qian Ling. A fool like Yue Qian Ling dares to scheme against master, really a fool to the third degree.
This crown prince thinks Princess Bai Lians suggestion is excellent. This crown prince saw many dancers performance but hasnt had many chances to see princesss performance Hua Xiu Yi smiled wickedly, holding out his index finger to sweep the hair on is shoulders, his mouth uttering humiliating words. His eyes on Yue Qian Ling was full of affection but those feelings were too fake and too cold.
I also agree with Crown Prince Huas words, hope Princess Qian Ling doesnt disappoint everyone! Pei Fus refined voice didnt have any expression but still uttered words that humiliated Yue Qian Ling.
Lan You Nian nced at Pei Fu. this young gentleman who relied on his own talents to be the prime minister. She didnt expect this man to help her. Lan You Nian can faintly sense this mans respect towards her, even his gaze observed without overstepping, making Lan You Nian feel strange.
Since everyone agrees, Princess Qian Ling should hurry to perform for everyone! Feng Xia Qi smiled.
You, you... Yue Qian Ling saw no one helped her, even Yue Bai Lian from the same country looked at her like she was a joke, while those representatives waited for her to perform as if watching a show. When has Yue Qian Ling suffered such a humiliation in Yue country?
Yue Qian Ling was so angry she picked up the teacup on the taboret beside her and threw it at Lan You Nians exquisite face. Her heart was screaming to destroy Lan You Nians seductive face. Yue Qian Ling was fearless, so what if she hurt Lan You Nians face? Feng country wont make things difficult for a princess just for a generals daughter.
In Yue Qian Lings hate-filled eyes, Lan You Nian casually caught the cup that shot towards her. Lan You Nians eyes were dark like the night without any starlight or moonlight, as if a catching Yue Qian Ling inside, deep, oppressive, and suffocating.
At this moment, Yue Qian Ling was a little scared. She didnt dare to look into Lan You Nians ck eyes. She didnt have any strength to resist.
At this moment, Yue Bai Lian picked up the teapot on the table that was still filled with warm tea and smashed it on Yue Qian Lings head. The warm tea ran down along with the blood on Yue Qian Lings forehead. Yue Bai Lian didnt seem to have vented her angry, smashing a few more times before letting go. By now, Yue Qian Ling has fainted.
Everyone was stunned by Yue Bai Lians sudden move. Who would have imagined that such a gentle like water Yue Bai Lian would act so valiantly. The victim was her own imperial sister. Only Lan You Nian helplessly rubbed her forehead, because Yue Bai Lians valiant personality was taught by her.
Before in a ce like Xiao Jin Pavilion, although Bai Lian didnt entertain any guests and only performed on stage, but Bai Lian who has changed her face was still a rare beauty. Many people had an interest towards Bai Lian, even some will directly take liberties. At that time, Lan You Nian taught Bai Lian some hand-to-hand fighting for self-defense. Because of Bai Lians age, there was no way she couldnt learn internal force martial arts. Having some hand-to-hand fighting skills can also protect her. But Lan You Nian didnt expect exceeded her expectations. Sometimes, she was more even more valiant than Hua Mu Qing that tomboy....
Chapter 148 - Assassination on the Way
148 Assassination on the Way
Princess Qian Ling identally fell on her own Lan You Nian said sincerely, Princess Bai Lian should have some people help Princess Qian Ling back to her room, and let the physician take a look!
Everyone was shocked by Yue Bai Lians valiant move and now were made speechless by Lan You Nians distortion of the truth. Fell herself? Would someone fall and be like this? Everyone started to wonder if all woman, the more beautiful they were, the stranger they were. Otherwise how can both of them be like this?
Yue Bai Lian knew was biased towards her. After all, she had the title of Yue countrys eldest princess. If Imperial father knew she treated Yue Qian Ling like this, she wouldnt have a good ending. But when she saw Yue Qian Ling treating master like that, she couldnt hold back and acted recklessly.
Yue Bai Lian let her servant girl help Yue Qian Ling back while Lan You Nian swept over the entire garden, looking over Hua Xiu Yi and the apanying representatives.
It seems in the future, dont let Princess Qian Ling go out, otherwise cant walk very well and be like this, if she falls and is serious injured, that wont be good! Feng Xia Qi was the first to support Lan You Nian.
Yes, Princess Qian Ling shouldnt casually go out! Pei Fu followed closely, letting the representatives who followed Pei Fu stare in disbelief. After all, Pei Fu was usually quiet and will not care about these idle matters but today he helped this Miss Lan. But no matter what Xue countrys representatives thought, since their Prime Minister said this, they of course must follow.
Hua Xiu Yi scooted over towards Lan You Nian. He seemed to have smelled a fragrance he has never smelled before. It wasnt a fragrance from makeup powder but a fragrance from the girls own body, different than the fragrance of the woman around him. Hua Xiu Yi liked this kind of unpretentious fragrance, especially liked this girl who was interested in.
Hua Xiu Yis closeness made Lan You Nian erect all defenses. As soon as Hua Xiu Yi closed in a little more, Lan You Nian prepared to make a move, even if her action wasnt wise. But fortunately Hua Xiu Yi didnt get too close, only stopping at Lan You Nians side.
Beauty, give a smile, and this crown prince will help you Hua Xiu Yis lips bloomed with a flower as coquettish as a rose. He liked seeing this girls smile. He has seen this girl giving Feng Yi Xuan a genuine smile. Although he always regarded Feng Yi Xuan as an opponent, but at that moment, he envied Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Xia Qi shifted his body, blocking Lan You Nian beside him, saying to Hua Xiu Yi, Crown Prince Hua conduct yourself appropriately, Nianer meimei isnt a girl you can casually provoke!
Lan You Nians heart was warmed by Feng Xia Qis defense of her. There seems to be more and more people around her who truly cared about her. They genuinely considered her their little sister. In the past, she used to think of family as a savage beast. The current family gave Lan You Nian a different feeling.
Hua Xiu Yis narrow eyes shed with a chilly cold, but he didnt have a chance to vent before he heard Lan You Nians words.
Help me? Crown Prince Hua over-estimates yourself. Whether you help or dont help me, it is no hinderance to me! Lan You Nian said casually, If Crown Prince Hua is in spring (in heat), there are many brothels in the capital!
Lan You Nians words were just finished, Hua xiu Yis eyes filled with gloomy light, his cold voice pierced with ice, You are good!
Hua Xiu Yi and Lan You Nians voices werent loud. Those representatives sat a distance from them so many people didnt know what happened but everyone can sense the gloomy air around Hua Xiu Yi.
Lan You Nian thought Hua Xiu Yi will shed all pretenses of cordiality, there probably will be a fierce battle today, but Lan You Nian didnt expect Hua Xiu Yi to say, You are good, three words, then he recovered his sinful look, seemingly as if the one who emitted killing intent wasnt him.
Tsk tsk, this Princess Qian Ling bes like this... Hua Xiu Yi paused for a moment, ncing at Lan You Nian, but Lan You Nian didnt have any reaction, Hua Xiu Yi felt bored and said, She can only me herself for not looking while walking, a beautiful girl be like this after a fall, what a pity!
Now everyone saw it clearly, Hua Xiu Yi was also standing on Lan You Nians side but everyone was confused. Howe so many people are talking nonsense today? But no matter what, everyone understood things cant be guessed by them so Yue Qian Ling who has been beaten has be a tragedy. Clearly it was Yue Bai Lian who made her into this but in everyones eyes, it was she was identally fell.
On the first day of Lan You Nian apanying the representatives admiring flowers, it ended like this. In any case, admiring flowers or whatever is all just camouge. Its just another kind of privatemunication between the countries. The very innocent Lan you Nian was dragged into it.
A day passed quickly, Lan You Nian and Feng Xia Qi took a carriage from the visitors pce to Lan manor....
But at this moment, the carriage galloped towards a remote area. Feng Xia Qi immediately lifted the carriages curtains, shouting angrily, Who are you!
Lan You Nian knew, the coachman driving the horse was no longer fourth wangyes person, that is, when they were in the visitors pce, this coachman was killed and was reced. These people looked like they wereing at Feng Xia Qi, and she unfortunately just happened to be on Feng Xia Qis carriage.
Feng Xia Qi stretched out a hand to kill the coachman but Lan You Nian whipped Feng Xia Qi back into the carriage then heard a patter of arrows and the coachman following onto the ground.
The sharp long arrows nailed into the carriage echoed in Lan You Nian and Feng Xia Qis ears. If Lan You Nian pulled Feng Xia Qi a littleter, Feng Xia Qi would have been struck with several arrows. These arrivals also killed off the person who was disguised as the coachman, it seems these people were savage killers.
Feng Xia Qi waited for a while but saw that his shadow guards havent appeared yet so he knew this didnt bode well for his shadow guards. These people clearly were prepared. All these years, Feng Xia Qi has be ustomed to such assassinations but looking at Lan You Nian who was sitting in the carriage without any expression, Feng Xia Qi felt guilty. He didnt expect to involve Lan You Nian in this.
Nianer meimei, after the arrows stop, I will go lure away the enemy, you find a way to scape! Feng Xia Qi dodged a long arrow that pierced through the carriage, apologetically saying to Lan You Nian. At this time, only this was the best option. These people wanted his life, then as long as he leads them away, the chances of Lan You Nians survival was greater.
Lan You Nian didnt answer Feng Xia Qi. If it was in the past, even if she had the ability to deal with these assassins, she will simply leave without lending a hand. But not only was Feng Xia Qi Feng Yi Xuans older brother, he was her own friend, she Lan You Nian although cold-hearted, but for those people who walked into her heart, she will do everything to protect them.
These assassins saw there was no movement from the carriage. They didnt know if the people inside were dead or alive. After stopping the rain of arrows, many assassins silently approached the carriage. Lan You Nian heard people approaching outside, listening to those peoples nearly undetectable footsteps, Lan You Nian knew there were ten assassins approaching the carriage, their martial arts was average.
Lan You Nian showed aforting smile at Feng Xia Qi, then ayer of frost covered up the smiling face, emitting a strong chill.
Feng Xia Qis martial arts, although werent as good as LAn You Nian, but it wasnt particrly bad. He was aware of the several assassins approaching the carriage. When he saw Lan You Niansforting smile, Feng Xia Qi felt assured inside. Maybe the girl in front of him wasnt so weak, although he always wanted to protect her.
The carriage curtain was opened from the outside, a cold light shed, more than ten des emitting a chill instantly unsheathed. There was no fancy trick, forcing towards Lan You Nian and Feng Xia Qis heart. Lan You Nian took out the dagger she always carried, taking care of the assasin nearest to her, then rushing out of the carriage.
Feng Xia Qi also took out his own sword, pushing away the sword that was heading towards him, then without blinking, killed off an assassin, the move contained a fierceness that didnt seem to belong to him.
After getting out of the carriage, the space was much bigger outside for the two people. It was much easier to move around. More importantly, if they really cant win against the enemy, they can run away at any time. Lan You Nian has never thought there was any shame with running away because keeping your life was more important than anything. Just for a moments face and losing a life, it was the stupidest thing.
Lan You Nian stood beside Feng Xia Qi. After all, Feng Xia Qis martial arts was weaker than hers and clearly, he had no experience with her deadly training so Feng Xia Qi had more difficulty dealing with the assassins. But Feng Xia Qi wasnt a kind person, as long as an assassin got close to him, he will end their life.
Lan You Nian waved the dagger in her hand, the knife didnt see any blood, still maintaining its snow white appearance, a cold chill exuding from her body. Her moves were fast and urate, directly swiping the neck, like the sickle of the god of death. This group of assassins exuding strong killing intent, were like a rice paddy, being cut down inrge pieces, slowly from more than ten people to just several.
Feng Xia Qi although dealing with these assassins, but was also afraid Lan You Nian will be injured. So he paid some attention to Lan You Nian. It was the first time he saw Lan You Nian fight. Although he heard from his brother that Lan You Nian knows martial arts, but he didnt expect her martial arts to be so good. Seeing the girl killing without blinking an eye, it was clearly amon urrence. Feng Xia qi was a little shocked. Seeing Lan You Nians expression that was different from her usual indifference, Lan You Nian currently was like a god of death, such a Lan You Nian made Feng Xia Qi think of his own brother. The twos ruthless means and the suffocating aura was exactly the same.
Be careful! Lan You Nian pulled over Feng Xia Qi who seemed to be lost in thought. Her arm was scratched by a long sword. Lan You Nian didnt show any pain, directly killing off that assassin.
Lan You Nian saw corpses carpeting this secluded area. Lan You Nian carefully felt around if there were any escapees then Lan You Nian sighed in relief because besides her and Feng Xia Qi, there was no signs of a living person. If there was, then that persons martial arts was much better than hers. Such a person was very few. Lan You Nian cautiousness was a habit. Besides in front of Feng Yi Xuan where she can be rxed, all other times she was the strong and invincible Lan You Nian.
Chapter 149 - Feng Xia Qi’s Worry
149 Feng Xia Qis Worry
Nianer meimei... Feng Xia Qis twin fox eyes filled with worry and distress.
Feng Xia Qi didnt that he a man will fall to let a little sister who was much smaller than him protect him. This little sister was the one he always wanted to protect.
Its nothing! Lan You Nian didnt even spare her injury a nce, We should hurry back!
Although the wound wasnt deep, does that mean Lan You Nian doesnt feel any pain? No, She Lan You Nian is a girl, of course shes afraid of pain but she didnt like revealing her fragile side in front of outsiders. Every time her poison awakens, who knows how many times more painful it was. In contrast, this injury was nothing.
Though Feng Xia Qi has seen Lan You Nian being tormented by poison, knowing that kind of pain made one want to die, but seeing Lan You Nian being injured for him, his heart was in agony. This kind of injury best be treated earlier. Feng Xia Qi took out the signal he carried with him prepared tounch it. In the past, he only used this signal when his life was in jeopardy. But looking at Lan You Nians wound that was bleeding, he took out his own personal signal.
Lan You Nian also saw Feng Xia Qis actions, immediately taking the signal away from him, Now isnt the time to attract so much attention. We are very close to Lan manor. We just need to hurry over there! Lan You Nian had another reason for saying this. Lan You Nian knew if Feng Xia Qi sent out the signal, Feng Yi Xuan will definitely learn of this. She didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to be uneasy, nor did she want him to worry. Otherwise, shes afraid that man will abandon everything on hand to apany her.
Feng Xia Qi took back his own signal. He glimpsed the worry in Lan You Nians eyes. Feng Xia Qi felt reassured that his younger brother found such a girl, blessing them for their feelings for one another. But his own heart was slightly bitter.
Feng Xia Qi and Lan You Nian didnt return to Lan manor from the main entrance. Lan you Nian entered You Nian Pavilion.
Young miss, youre injured? Lan Feng and Zhang Lin asked anxiously. Lan Feng felt guilty because today Lan You Nian didnt bring any of the shadow guards. Normally Lan You Nian didnt like bringing along shadow guards. She gave LAn Feng and the others enough private time.
Lan You Nian nced at the blood on her white sleeves. It looked serious but it was only a flesh injury.
Small injury! Lan You Nian waved her hand, unconcerned. Then to Lan Feng, she said, You and Lan Ren bring people to escort Brother Xia Qi back! Stay alert along the way! Lan You Nian wasnt sure if those people had a follow up attack, so letting Lan Ren them send Feng Xia Qi back was for the best.
Feng Xia Qi nced at Lan You Nians wound that hasnt been bandaged yet, hesitating, You treat the wound first, otherwise I wont feel at ease going back! Although Feng Xia Qi was a gentle man on the surface, but underneath, he and Feng Yi Xuan was very simr. They were both cold-blooded people. For him to be so concerned for Lan You Nian, it was because he genuinely ced Lan You Nian in his heart.
Lan You Nian helplessly went into the pavilion with Feng Xia Qi following behind her. Lan Qu took out a special wound ointment made by Gui Yi and carefully treated Lan You Nian.
Seeing Lan You Nians scars from self-injury due to the poison awakening on her arm were beginning to improve, but now there is a new injury added to the mix. Feng Xia Qi felt astringent inside then shifted his eyes away, not looking at it anymore. He feared he wouldnt be able to stop himself. What he couldnt stop himself from doing only Feng Xia Qi knew inside.
Its good! Lan You Nian looked at the bandaged wound, tugging her sleeves down so it cant be seen. Lan Qus technique in dressing wounds were getting better and better.
Brother Xia qi! Lan You Nian uttered to Feng Xia Qi who was getting ready to leave with Lan Ren them.
I know! Feng Xia Qiforted Lan You Nian with a warm smile, Rest assured, I wont tell AXuan!
Thank you! Lan You Nian didnt want Feng Xia Qi to know that she was injured. Maybe this was the stupid things two people in love will do because they didnt want the other to worry so they will conceal it.
After a hard day as well as a round of fighting, Feng Xia Qis face was slightly tired. That warm face had some inconspicious astringent feeling for some reason. Feng Xia Qi looked at Lan You Nian, The one who should be saying thanks is me! Okay, Nianer meimei, rest well and heal, I will be going!
Lan You Nian gazed at Feng Xia Qis slightly tired and lonely back. She didnt know why Feng Xia Qi became like this after one round of killing. With Feng Xia Qis identity, he should already be used to these killings. Lan You Nian shook her head puzzled, then didnt think on it any longer.
Lan Wu! Lan You Nian called to Lan Wu who was burning some fragrant incense, Prepare warm water, I want to bathe. Destroy this set of clothing on my body!
Lan Wu and Lan Qu immediately went to work. Their young miss liked to be clean. It was alreadyte in the evening, from Ming wangs attitude ining here every day, Lan Wu and Lan Wu knew young miss wanted to conceal it from Ming wang.
Lan You Nianid in the luke-warm water. The injured arm was protected well by Lan Qu and Lan Wu. The two usually didnt serve Lan you Nian while she bathed but as soon as Lan You Nian was injured, they yed the role of servant girls.
Lan Qu, after Lan Renes back, let Lan Ren investigate who ordered this assassination Lan You Nians elegant and refined face frosted over. She didnt think someone who dare to touch Feng Xia Qi directly. It seems to be the Empresss faction.
Lan You Nian changed into a clean outfit and then had Lan Qu prepare dinner. Today at the visitors pce, she didnt eat anything. Now she felt hungry.
Chapter 150 - Hunting
150 Hunting
Lan You Nian dressed in a white dress sat in the room getting ready to eat when she noticed Feng Yi Xuan hastily entering the room. Lan You Nian was going to ask why he came so early today when Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian into his arms.
Are you hurt? Feng Yi xuan voice was like a spring trickling with worry. Today, he went back to Ghost Realm to deal with some matters when he learned Lan You Nian and Feng Xia Qi encountered an assassination whereupon he instantly rushed back, extremely worried inside. Now seeing the girl was safe and sound sitting here, Feng Yi Xuans heart finally settled.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian while carefully checking her all over. Lan You Nian immediately pressed down Feng Yi Xuans big hand, a flower-like smile bloomed on her delicate face, dimples appearing, making her temperament especially ethereal.
No! Lan You Nian grinned. To be ced in someones heart and cared about constantly felt lovely, How do you know we met with assassins? Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi xuans forces were powerful, at least he wasnt a simple wangye as he is on the surface. Lan You Nian didnt ask. She knew if she asked, Feng Yi Xuan will tell her. Lan You Nian thought everyone had their own personal space.
Lan Qu added a set of tableware for Feng Yi xuan. Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian as he picked some dishes for LAn You Nian, unconcerned as he said, How can I not be aware of such an important matter? Especially as it concerns you and imperial brother1
Lan You Nian opened her mouth eating the food fed by Feng Yi xuan. After swallowing the food, she said, It seems you need to send more people to Brother Xia Qis side!
En! Feng Yi Xuan ate all the dishes that Lan You Nian didnt like into his own belly, his tone neutral, Its been arranged. These are also tests. If always let others protect, how can he sit steadily on that seat?
Although Feng Yi Xuans abilities were much highter than Feng Xia Qi, though he helped Feng Xia Qi in the shadows, Feng Yi Xuan didnt protect Feng Xia Qi. Since Feng Yi Xuan already sent Feng Xia Qi onto that seat, then he wont let his own brother be too weak. Feng Xia Qi wasnt a weak person either, otherwise he wont be living as well as he has been in the capital while Feng Yi Xuan was fighting in the war for many years. His own faction has be the thorns in the Emperors eyes.
Finished eating, the two prepared for bed. Since Feng Yi Xuan came to Lan You Nians ce at night, he wouldnt return to his manor to bathe in his extravagantly luxurious bathing pool, instead bathing at Lan You Nians ce. Lan You Nian was already resting in bed while Feng Yi Xuan was behind the wind screen bathing.
When Feng Yi Xuan finished bathing, Lan You Nian already fell asleep. Feng Yi Xuan gazed at the girl, the snow-white skin on that small face was like cream, around her eyes, her stunning eyes seemed to be dyed with ayer of tulle, delicate and gentle. The curled eyshes trembled with the eyelids, under her straight nose was poppy-red lips.
Feng Yi Xuan watched and watched, unwilling to go to the couch to rest, then he fell asleep beside Lan You nian, holding the girl in his arms. Feng Yi Xuan sighedfortably, feeling the heart that was full of whole day of worries rejuvenated.
Smelling the unique fragrance on Feng Yi Xuans body and that familiar warmth, Lan You Nian retreated all of her defenses, sleeping peacefully. Because she was in deep sleep, Lan You Nian didnt pay attention to the wound on her arm. Feng Yi Xuans nose was particrly sensitive. When he smelled the faint scent of blood, he froze. His first thought was that Lan You Nians menses came but he kept a note on the days Lan You Nians menses came. It wasnt this time at all.
Feng Yi Xuan thought of the assassination today. He sat up, rolling up the sleeves on Lan You Nians arms, and saw the bandaged arm.
Being tossed around by Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian already woke up. When she saw Feng Yi Xuan staring at her wound, Lan You Nian knew she couldnt conceal it anymore.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes slowly deepened, those ck eyes seemed to be burning like the sun, turbulent and glimmering. He stared at Lan You Nians wound without saying a word, then leaned over nting a kiss on Lan You Nians wound.
Sorry, I didnt protect you! Feng Yi Xuans face was full of guilt. He would rather he himself suffer serious injuries but he didnt want Nian Nian to suffer a trace of hurt.
Xuan, its not your fault, dont me yourself! LAn You Nianforted, then immediately changed the topic, Go to sleep early, tomorrows banquet will be held in the hunting grounds.
How can Feng Yi Xuan not tell that Lan You Nian didnt want him to me himself, looking into Lan You Nians worried eyes, Feng Yi Xuan chuckled, kissing LAn You Nians eyes, lingeringly said, Alright! Then carefully avoided Lan You Nians wound, pulling the girl back into his arms.
LAn You Nian, seeing how much Feng Yi Xuan treasured her, her face glowed. The bright and pretty face exuded a dazzling light, that radiance, even the proud sun can only sigh, hiding itself away.
In the morning, when Lan You Nian woke up, she realized Feng Yi Xuan was sleeping beside her, staring at her with those beautiful purple eyes. In those eyes, Lan You Nian saw they werepletely filled with her reflection, like she was ced in his heart.
Morning! A smile bloomed on Lan You Nians face and kissed Feng Yi Xuans thin lips.
Feng Yi Xuans foul mood that was due to Lan You Nians injury instantly brightened from Lan You Nians soft kiss. Lowering his head, he wanted to return the kiss on Lan You Nians pink lips. However, Lan You Nian dodged with a giggle. Seeing the girl in his arms being rarely so mischeivious, Feng Yi Xuan followed with a chuckle.
Feng Yi Xuan was born with good looks, the beautiful brows had the smile, it was bright and shining like the bright sun. Lan You Nian gaped, only thinking that the person in front of her was too attractive.
Feng Yi Xuan in the past felt this face was too good-looking. Because of his aura, very few people will notice his appearance. Seeing Nian Nian gaping at him like a little whit erabbit, Feng Yi Xuan was grateful for his good looks.
Turned silly? Feng Yi Xuan scooted near Lan You Nians white, nearly transparent ears, his warm breath darting into Lan You Nians ears.
Lan You Nian shrank her small head, undisguisedly checking out Feng Yi Xuans face, then extended a white finger to trace Feng Yi xuans face. From that attractive sword eyebrows to the sexy thin lops, then praised, My man is really good-looking!
Lan You Nians little look melted Feng Yi Xuan from the bottom of his heart. Finally, he couldnt hold himself back from using his big hands to fix Lan You Nians head in ce, not allowing Lan You Nian to escape, then bowed down his head gently kissing LAn You Nians lips, taking his time to sip, the movement was very gentle.
Lan You Nian sat at the table, not in a good mood as she scolded Feng Yi Xuan, Let me do it myself okay? It turns out Feng Yi Xuan did everything for LAn You Nian since getting out of bed. Fearing Lan You Nian will put pressure on her injury, so Feng Yi Xuan helped Lan You Nian get dressed, washing her face and rinsing her mouth was also assisted by Feng Yi Xuan, now even eating breakfast was fed by Feng Yi Xuan.
Youre hurt! Feng Yi Xuan was perfectlyfortable with servicing Lan You Nian, blowing the porridge in the spoon before cing at Lan You Nians mouth, coaxing, Behave!
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan and could only helplessly open her little mouth, obediently eating. If she knew her injury will cause Feng Yi Xuan to treat her like a child who cant take of herself, then no matter what, shell keep her injury concealed. Ai, she can only me herself for not putting up any guard against Feng Yi Xuan.
Todays hunting, I will stay with him, we wont go! Feng Yi Xuan said. During the exchange meeting, there was one round that is todays hunting trip. Every country will send out some people into the forest to hunt, to see who hunted the most prey, also a kind of exchange, although every time it was fighting in the open and covertly.
Feng Yi Xuan has participated in the past. Speaking of which, he was considered a military officer. But now his own woman was injured, nothing else was more important, hell just stay here to apany Nian Nian.
Lan You Nian shook her head, acting spoiled, Lets go see. There isnt anything fun to y in the capital. Its hard toe by an event like this, its good to y around. Besides, isnt there you? Lan You Nian was bored. This was the capital, not the Medical Valley, it didnt give her afortable feeling. There were many bothersome matters in the capital and for the time being, she can leave Feng country to sightsee.
Towards LAn You Nians requests, Feng Yi Xuan generally wouldnt refuse. Look, Lan You Nian merely acted spoiled, Feng Yi Xuan immediately surrendered, indulgently said to Lan You Nian, Okay, but you be careful!
I know! Lan you Nian beamed.
Chapter 151 - Zui Feng
151 Zui Feng
Today, beloved subjects came here to participate in this summers hunting, you must return with the fruits of yourbors! Emperor Feng Xuan picked up the golden wine goblet, speaking to the people below.
Everyone stood up, leaning over to pick up the wine and downing it, Subject will make an effort!
After that, Eunuch Lu announced the rules for this years hunting. It had to be said that Feng country was very open in some respects. For instance, females were allowed to participate during the hunt. Each team had for people, three men and one female, whoever hunted the most prey in the predetermined time wins.
Feng country had many women who can ride horses, but its just for show. There were even fewer women who knew how to hunt. There was such an excellent opportunity to show off, as well as a chance to get close to people like the wangyes, many women were eager to sign up.
Many men wanted to invite the woman they liked to join their own team. Lan You Nian knew she was definitely teaming up with Feng Yi Xuans group, so she didnt hurry to choose a team. Although many men wanted to invite Lan You Nian but seeing Lan Jian Juns ring eyes, they didnt dare to move forward. Lan Jian Jun didnt like those men who were having ideas about his daughter, including Feng Yi Xuan. Although he admired Feng Yi Xuans bearing and character, seeing this mans nefarious thoughts about his daughter, Lan Jian Jun wanted to object. But he knew he wasnt in the position to manage daughters affairs. He can tell his daughter liked Ming wang. Lan Jian Jun could only turn a blind eye to it.
Is Miss Lan willing to team up with this crown prince? Hua Xiu Yi walked over to Lan You Nian, a smile tugging on the corners of his eyes and mouth.
Many women present shot Lan You Nian resentful looks. Many of the women wanted to team up with Hua Xiu Yi but were refused by Hua Xiu Yi. Now that Hua countrys crown prince personally came to invite Lan You Nian to his team, many of them looked at Lan You Nians beautiful face secretly cursing slut! But no one dared to say this on the surface. Lan You Nians backing in Feng country ordinary people didnt dare offend.
Just as Lan You Nian prepared to refuse, a cold voice sounded.
She and this wang is one team! Feng Yi Xuan walked over to Lan You Nians side, his eyes looking at Hua Xiu Yi sharply, like an ice-cold sword without any warmth, cold as frost, making people feel the icy cold from within their bones, his posture was as unfaltering as Mount Tai.
Hua Xiu Yi wasnt an ordinary person. Under Feng Yi Xuans imposing manner, there was no feeling of difort. The smile on the corner of his lips became more wicked along with provocation towards Feng Yi Xuan, Ming wang is too unreasonable, this matter let Miss Lan answer for herself.
In fact, Hua Xiu Yi knew very well that Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan had romantic feelings between them. It is because of this that Hua Xiu Yi was amused. How could there be sincere feelings in this world? Although this Lan You Nian was somewhat different, she cant be the exemption. On the one hand, Hua Xiu Yi hoped in his heart that Lan You Nian was a superficial woman, so he can snatch away Lan You Nian and give Feng Yi Xuan a considerable blow but on the other hand he hoped Lan You Nian was different than those other women and is a girl who values affection and loyalty. Hua Xiu Yi felt he was very contradictory.
This girl of course... Everyone held their breath to wait for Lan You Nians answer. Many people thought Lan You Nian will pick Hua Xiu Yi. Feng Yi Xuans daunting aura and the terrifying rumors made women stay away from him, with Ming wangs team! Lan You Nian smiled in reply.
No one expected Lan You Nians answer, but Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with a smile while Hua Xiu Yis mouth stiffened before smoothing his sleeves, Since Miss Lan chose to team with Ming wang, this crown prince wont force people against their will!
Hua Xiu Yi turned back to his seat as if there wasnt any dissatisfaction from Lan You Nians rejection. But if you looked carefully, you would see Hua Xiu Yis eyes shing with dejection.
Lan Ya saw Hua Xiu Yi who lost face due to Lan You Nian, her eyes shing with calction. Recently in Lan manor, she was cautious not to attract anyones attention. She no longer had Lan manors illegitimate daughters identity. She has been thinking about which big tree to climb up. At first, Lan Ya hoped to catch fourth wangye, this handsome man but Lan Ya saw that fourth wangye and Lan You Nian that sluts rtionship was really good, she didnt have the chance. Lan Ya thought of fourth wangye Feng Shao Chu who was also her cousin-brother, but the Empress pays no attention to her at all, nor does she care about this nice of hers, let alone second wangye needed a woman with status who can help him. She can only be a concubine, so Lan Ya gave up on this idea.
Now that Lan Ya such a good-looking Hua Xiu Yi as well as the fact Hua Xiu Yi has the status of the crown prince, and to her delight, she saw Lan You Nian treat Crown Prince Hua like this, if she can enter Crown Prince Huas eye, she can have Crown Prince Hua avenge her. Lan Yas eyes shed with imagined malice.
Crown Prince Hua, can this girl team with Crown Prince? Lan Ya walked over to Hua Xiu Yi asking shyly. Today Lan Ya wore a pink riding attire, looking up with a red face at Hua Xiu Yi. The pretty face looked like the little sister next door, her attitude deliberately pretending to benguid.
Many women held Lan Ya in contempt for her actions. Lan Ya was no longer LAn manors young miss. Her mother also did something like that. Those young misses who once ttered her allughed at her behind her back. Seeing Lan Ya boldly volunteer herself, many people were disgusted by it.
Hua Xiu Yi extended his index finger to lift up Lan Yas chin, such a move made Lan Ya even shyer, but even more certain she must get this man. How can Hua Xiu Yi not be able to see the disgusting pretentiousness in Lan Yas eyes but Hua Xiu Yi still teasingly smirked, Whos familys beauty is this?
Lan Ya thought Hua Xiu Yi took a liking to her beauty. She didnt dare say she no longer had any status, so demurely replied, This girl is Lan manors eldest miss!
Hua Xiu Yi was surprised to hear this. He didnt expect such a woman was of the same manor as Lan You Nian. Hua Xiu Yis eyes flickered to Lan You Nian who was sitting there leisurely and then back at the affectatious Lan Ya. The more hepared them, the more it brought out how different Lan You Nian was from everyone else.
However, Hua Xiu Yi didnt show any disdain. Instead, he teasingly smirked, Since beauty says so, this crown prince cant bear for beauty to be sad! Everyone can only envy Lan Ya really obtained Hua Xiu Yis favor. They didnt see Hua Xiu Yis finger wiping off on the handkerchief he took out.
Thank you, Crown Prince Hua! Lan Ya curtsied in pleasure. She finally can take the first step. Lan Ya looked at Lan You Nian who was protected by others in the distance, mumbling in her heart, Lan You Nian, just you wait, I will make you beg me on your knees!
Lan Yas side didnt attract Lan You Nians attention. Lan You Nian was thinking of going to the horse ranch to choose a horse since she didnt bring her own horse to the hunting grounds. Lan You Nian didnt like those horses that werent good.
Suddenly, An Yi led apletely ck horse to Lan you Nian, respectfully saying, Miss Lan, this is the horse master chose for Miss Lan. It is also masters mount, Zui Feng!
Lan You Nian carefully looked over Feng Yi Xuans tall and massive horse. Every part of the body was matched well, every muscle showed its strength, making people who see it feel soft, so vigorous and graceful. Seeing Lan You Nian wasnt its master, lifting its head proudly, shaking the beautiful mane.
Lan You Nian saw such a sentient horse, her face showed a pleased and excited grin, the pleasure on that peerless face, with the sunlight behind her covering up the sky, burning the white clouds red, while she was like a phoenix reborn of the fire, bright and magnificent,parable to perfection.
Everyone was puzzled looking at Lan You Nian who wasughing happily. Ming wangs mount was known by many. It was the best prized steed that cant be found within a thousand miles. Not only can it cross a thousand miles in a day, more importantly, this horse only recognizes its master. If other people dared to ride it, that steed will be extremely violent and hurt people. Ming wangs steed has never allowed other people to ride it. Many people saw Feng Yi Xuan give the horse for Lan You Nian to ride, all believing Feng Yi Xuan is bullying Lan You Nian. Many people felt it was a pity that such a stunning girl offended Ming wang.
Lan You Nian didnt think so. She knew this was Feng Yi Xuans good towards her. If it werent her, Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt let other people ride his steed.
Feng Yi Xuan, from the start, saw Nian Nian didnt bring her own horse, so he gave Zui Feng for Nian Nian to ride. It wasnt that he didnt know that besides him Zui Fengs treatment of outsiders was like. But Feng Yi Xuan understood Nian Nian liked to subdue such a violent steed. Of course, he wouldnt neglect her, if Nian Nian cant tame Zui Feng, he will help.
As everyone was stunned and speechless, Lan You Nian flipped onto the horse, her movement was smooth and clean. That flying skirt and the long hair blown by the wind made Lan You Nian look heroic. The ck horse and the beauty in whiteposed the most beautiful painting.
As soon as Lan You Nian settled down, Zui Feng instantly became violent, his four hooves stamping, tail whipping, to toss Lan You Nian off the horse. Everyone eximed, even Lan Jian Jun and the others were frightened as they prepared to save Lan You Nian.
But Lan You Nian gripped Zui Fengs mane, refusing to fall off. One person and one horse dragged on like this. Zui Feng was like a sea swallow rigorously flying in the storm. Lifting up bellowing, the sound of the horse that causes ones heart to tremble rang in the fields. Lan You Nian, no matter how agitated and dangerously bucking Zui Feng was, she didnt move an inch.
After a long time, Zui Feng was a little tired. Zui Feng also noticed Lan you Nian had Feng Yi Xuans smell. Zui Feng calmed slightly. Lan You Nian looked into Zui Fengs dark eyes, closing in on Zui Fengs ear whispering, Behave!
The confrontation between one person and one horse took a moment, Zui Feng really listened. Zui Fengs long mane was scattered, driven by Lan You Nian into a gallop, four hooves looked like they didnt touch the ground. Zui Feng, in Lan You Nians hands, seems to have found his master, galloping more smug and proud, no matter how many horses were in front, it will whirl by them in a st.
Feng Yi Xuan saw his little woman subdue his mighty steed and felt proud, directly snatching Feng Yi Xuans steed to chase after them.
Hey! Feng Xia Qi red at the Feng Yi Xuan who was getting farther away. He didnt know how he had such a brother who didnt even show some concern for his older brother.
Chapter 152 - Hunting
152 Hunting
secretdreamwishes
Feng Yi Xuan rode his imperial brothers steed to catch up with Lan You Nian who was enjoying the breeze on the horse. Seeing the little girls curved eyebrows, Feng Yi Xuan decided to bring Nian Nian into the wild more often. It wont be good to get cabin fever.
Like it? Feng Yi Xuans clean-cut angr face had a gentle, indulgent smile.
En! Lan You Nian nodded looking back to beam at Feng Yi Xuan. Those eyes that were sparkling ripples of water radiantly smiled as if the majestic proud sun scorching Feng Yi Xuans eyes. Feng Yi Xuans heart suddenly pulsated intensely like a drum even his chest trembled.
Feng Yi Xuan almost couldnt control himself from stealing a kiss, but at this time, an eyesore appeared once again...
Nianer meimei, youre amazing! Such a mighty steed like Zui Feng you can even tame, youre indeed a hero amongst women! Feng Xia Qi rode a horse that he searched for a while on the ranch that was passable to chase up to Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan.
Yeah, I once wanted to try to ride Zui Feng, but every time I was thrown off. Nianer meimei, is there nothing you cant do? Jing Wu An voiced his agreement. Up until now, Lan You Nians performance was simply too amazing. Besides Feng Yi Xuan, there probably wasnt another person who was a match for her.
Lan You Nian drew the reigns back to stop on the spot and took a look at the two people who rode beside her. The four people on their hunting team were Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An and herself. When the guards announced the list of names, Lan You Nian could see the eyes of the other women on fire. These three men, besides the frosty Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An were favorites. Many women hoped to team with the two of them, while she monopolized two of them all at once.
I was just lucky. Dont look at me as if Im omnipotent ah! Lan You Nian mischievously shrugged her shoulders. All she said was the truth. Although she had confidence she could tame Zui Feng, it wouldnt be in under such a short time. It was mainly because she was frequently together with Feng Yi Xuan, at night Feng Yi Xuan fell asleep holding her many times, so there was inevitably Feng Yi Xuans scent on her. Animals were sensitive towards these scents, so that is why it was so easily tamed.
Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An rolled their eyes and felt that Lan You Nian was merely modest. They had to admire Lan You Nians intelligence and indifferent temperament at such a young age. If it was another woman, who knows how proud they would be.
The few people jested as they rode their horses into the depths of the forest. After all, their prey wouldnt stupidly wait there for them. Though they didnt have the desire to take first ce, since theyre out here, they might as well have fun.
Suddenly, from the forest, a white rabbit hopped out eating grass. The group all inaudibly picked up their bow and arrow to hunt.
Lan You Nian held her breath, concentrating her attention to point the arrow at the prey, Thunk Two arrows shot whipped out simultaneously, followed by two other arrows. Four arrows shot at the unaware prey.
The prey was shot down by a ck arrow, instantly losing its life. Lan You Nian was speechless looking at Feng Yi Xuan because that arrow was shot out by Feng Yi Xuan. Lan You Nians archery skills have always been decent butpared to Feng Yi Xuan, it was severelycking. In speed alone, it was inferior.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian who was slightly sulking, lovingly patting Lan You Nians hair, Your archery skills are already excellent. Its just your physical strength isnt as big as mine, so its slower!
Lan You Nian pouted with her small mouth. She knew there was some disparity between her and Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan was a man baptized through the battlefield, so inevitably his speed was much faster than her own, I know ah. My man is amazing!
As long as you know! Feng Yi Xuan was pleased by Lan You Nians praise, So if Nian Nian needs anything, just tell me, dont work too hard yourself! Feng Yi Xuan knew that although Lan You Nian has learned to rely on him, many times, the girl in his heart still liked to take on many things alone. Feng Yi Xuans heart ached to see this.
Lan You Nian smiled at Feng Yi Xuan but didnt answer, not that she didnt want to answer but didnt know how....
Feng Yi Xuan and the others hunted a lot of prey after a while. It wasnt topete for first ce, but rather everyone had fun ying so took it seriously. Feng Yi Xuan was the god of war on the battlefield, so it was as simple as reaching out a hand for the prey to fall into it. Though Lan You Nian was a girl, her archery cant be underestimated. Though Feng Xia Qi cantpare to Feng Yi Xuan how can he, a proper wangye, be just for show? Jing Wu An though he is only a military advisor, he has also been on the battlefield. His archery is urate with each shot.
As they were ying merrily, Lan You Nian set her sights on prey that was running away, picking up her bow and arrow ready to shoot. Feng Yi Xuan and the others indulged Lan You Nian, so they all held back, but Lan You Nian didnt get to shoot at that prey before it was shot down by another arrow.
Lan You Nians eyes cooled, putting down the bow and arrow. She wasnt as fast as the other so Lan you Nian didnt me the other person. She turned back and saw Hua Xiu Yi holding a bow and the female in their group, Lan Ya. Hua Xiu Yi eyed the prey he shot down, his gaze had a slight provocation as he looked at Lan You Nian, as if Lan You Nian was that prey.
When Feng Yi Xuan spotted this person, his face frosted over, or in other words, Feng Yi Xuan was usually like this. Feng Yi Xuan urged his horse over to Lan You Nians side, blocking Hua Xiu Yis gaze, that stunning face emitted a secluded from the world kind of indifference.
Following behind, Lan Ya swayed as she sat atop the tall steed. Her entire body was suffering from the jolts and bumps. But in order to hug Hua Xiu Yis big thigh, so she insisted on bearing with the fact she cant ride. Lan Yas makeup was a little smudged, and because of the bumps, her hair was a lot more disheveled, making people unable to feel any fondness for.
Lan Ya at the start of the hunt wanted to ride the same horse as Hua Xiu Yi. However, Hua Xiu Yi didnt show any tenderness and pity for women. To say it bluntly, if she cant, then dont follow. How could Lan Ya be willing to simply follow behind Hua Xiu Yi? But Hua Xiu Yi didnt even spare her a nce. But just then when they spotted Lan you Nian from afar, Lan Ya clearly glimpsed the focus and fervor in Hua Xiu Yis eyes. That was a mans regard for a woman. How could Lan Ya have expected that the man she wanted to curry favor with liked Lan You Nian that slut?
Third sister! Lan Ya deliberately shouted intimately, but that dense hatred in her eyes seemed like the eyes of Death, emitting a madness of evil and suffocating darkness.
Lan Ya thought that her resentful eyes were well-hidden but didnt know that her thoughts were perfectly clear to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian was surprised that Lan Ya still had some brains. Otherwise, she wouldnt know she needed to grab onto a big tree. Its a pity that Lan Ya found the wrong person. Hua Xiu Yi wasnt the easy-going person he seemed like on the surface.
Miss Lan Ya must be careful with your words. My Lan manor only has on legitimate son and daughter. I dont have any sister! Miss Lan Ya cant randomly im rtives! Lan You Nian sat properly on the entirely ck Zui Fengs back, her aura was faint as an immortal, but the words spoken made Lan Yas cheeks pale.
Yeah, Nianer meimei only has one brother, as well as us brothers. Who does this youngdy think you are? Jing Wu An treats Lan You Nian like his own biological sister, adding to the fact Lan You Nian helped him and Yu Liu Li get together, now he cant bear to see other people bully Lan You Nian.
Lan Ya saw one after another taking Lan You Nians side, even Hua Xiu Yi ignored her, Lan Ya resented Lan You Nian even more. She vowed she will humiliate Lan You Nian! Lan Yas venomous eyes werent only noticed by Lan You Nian them, Hua Xiu Yi also spotted it. Though Hua Xiu Yi didnt understand what his feelings towards Lan You Nian were, he didnt want to see other people hurt Lan You Nian, so Hua Xiu Yis gaze on Lan Ya became even gentler, so gentle it was weird.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt like people coveting his Nian Nian, so he rode away with Lan you Nian. It wasnt that he was afraid of Hua Xiu Yi. He just didnt like other men using that kind of gaze to look at his Nian Nian. In fact, many times, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to hide Nian Nian away, but he was afraid Nian Nian would be unhappy. He cant bear the thought.
Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan who were departing didnt see the confusion and trace of possessiveness in Hua Xiu Yis eyes, as well as the trace of sincere gentleness towards Lan You Nians back. That gentleness wasnt Hua Xiu Yis usual gentle mask, but a feeling emanating from his heart.
Lan Ya saw the people have already left yet Hua Xiu Yi has yet to withdraw his gaze. Lan Ya coincidentally caught that hint of gentleness. Lan Ya instantly became silly. Hua Xiu Yis looks were already exquisite now that flower-like face bloomed with a gentle smile, truly more beautiful than a rose. Lan Yas heart suddenly gave birth to an unstoppable madness. She wanted this mans gentleness for herself!
Hua Xiu Yi turned back and saw Lan Yas disgusting obsessiveness. Hua Xiu Yi extended his hands that were more lovely than a womans to choke Lan Yas neck, his eyes were like a poisonous rose Really a disobedient beauty.
Lan Ya gave a bloodcurdling scream, the pain in her neck made Lan Ya a bit of afraid of this man who always wore a smile. Her eyes brimmed with tears but she didnt draw any sympathy from Hua Xiu Yi, as if he didnt hear Lan Yas scream.
Dont have any delusions. Otherwise, this crown prince loves to destroy flowers! Hua Xiu Yis voice was sinister, his words towards the end were even more indifferent and heartless. That exquisite face was as cold as frost, his ck eyes were as deep as an ancient well, unfathomable.
Lan Ya nodded in horror, afraid if she were any slower her neck would be squeezed in half.
Now this is obedient! Hua Xiu Yi was satisfied looking at the fearful Lan Ya as if Lan Yas fear and horror pleased him. Hua Xiu Yi released the hand gripping Lan Yas neck.
Lan Ya immediately fell down from the horse, her entire person was haggard, but Hua Xiu Yi seemed to have seen some funny joke booming withughter. The two officials of Hua country following Hua Xiu Yi didnt dare to utter a sound. They have long since known that the Crown Princes temper was unpredictable. They didnt dare provoke him, afraid the next one would be them.
Chapter 153 - Hua Mu Qing’s Fear
153 Hua Mu Qings Fear
Count! Emperor Feng Xuan passed down orders to the guards below.
In the outer circle of the open fields, a pile of prey was piled up. Each groups prey were ced in their corresponding ces. The specialized guard would count and record it down, then the Emperor will announce whoever got first ce. Many people hoped to get first ce.
Lan You Nian sat in her seat looking over the piles of bloody prey. Many of the females didnt dare to look, many more paled with just one nce. Even more teared up saying, How can they be so cruel? These little animals are so adorable! An Si Yan was that type of female. An Si Yan has been spoiled in An manor. Not to mention hunting, she cant even ride a horse. Now seeing pile after pile of dead prey, she became even more white lotus.
Hua Mu Qing was a group with Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang. Hua Mu Qing was bored where she sat with those superficial women, so Hua Mu Qing scooted over to Lan You Nians seat.
Lan You Nian nced over Hua Mu Qing. Her clean riding attire had some scratches from tree branches. There was also fresh blood on the clothes. It made Hua Mu Qings already heroic cheeks even more dazzling.
Are you hurt? Lan You Nian asked with concern. Hua Mu Qings martial arts wasnt that good, and the forest wasnt a safe ce.
Hua Mu Qing carelessly shook her head. Sometimes she felt Lan You Nian was like a soft little sister, but on important matters, Hua Mu Qing was reliant on this little sister. It was a strange feeling, but it made Hua Mu Qing appreciate this friendship.
Not injured! Hua Mu Qing also noted the blood on herself, These bloodstains were identally caused by Princess Qian Ling when she fought over the prey. Its not mine!
There was a conflict? Lan You Nian asked. Though Hua Mu Qing was slightly hot-tempered, she knew better than to provoke some things. From the looks of it, this was schemed by that Yue Qian Ling. Lan You Nian nced at Yue Qian Lings seating.
Because Yue Bai Lian didnt participate, so Yue Qian Ling attended instead. The team that Yue Qian Ling chose was second wangye Feng Shao Chus team. Lan You Nian sighed, indeed, rat and snake in the same nest, scum with scum were attracted to one another.
Hmph! Still a princess of a country! Hua Mu Qing ranted, tattle-telling to Lan You Nian, The prey was shot down by Mo Xian. That Princess Qian Ling actually argued unreasonably that the prey was shot by them then stole our prey. I couldnt stand it, so I fought with Princess Qian Ling!
Lan You Nian pushed the tea on the table towards the thirsty Hua Mu Qing, softly asking, Then the prey ended up with Feng Shao Chus team?
Nianer meimei, how do you know? Hua Mu Qing cupped the cup in her hands with admiration as she asked. Nothing seemed to be hidden from Nianer meimei. Hua Mu Qing thought that after she married Lan Mo Xian, she can y together with Nianer meimei all the time and felt happy inside. If Lan Mo Xian knew, who knew how jealous he would be. Him this future husband cant evenpare to his little sisters status.
Lan You Nian giggled, With Mu Qing jiejies temper, you will definitely fight to take back the prey... Lan You Nian didnt finish her words, Hua Mu Qing continued, Of course! This junzhu hates those low-lives the most!
But older brother has more considerations. No matter what, Feng Shao Chu is a wangye. To oppose him directly, you wont gain anything. Though Mu Qing jiejie wants to take the prey back, if older brother convinces you, you will definitely concede. Lan You Nian looked at Feng Shao Chus arrogant look, her eyes cold.
Nianer meimei is right! If it Lan Mo Xian didnt stop me, hmph! See if this junzhu doesnt beat up that Princess Qian Ling! Hua Mu Qing raised her fists at Yue Qian Ling, the threatening intention was obvious.
Yue Qian Ling sneered at Hua Mu Qing with provocation. The two both knew some martial arts. Neither of their tempers were very good. But what was different was that although Hua Mu Qing has a violent temper, she knew not to overstep her bounds. Yue Qian Ling was a in vicious woman.
Emperor Feng Xuan sat in the top seat looking over the results the eunuch presented to him, his expression was very good.
This time hunting, everyone is outstanding! It really is heroes are born of youths! Emperor Feng Xuan spoke in a dignified manner, then said, First ce isosis team which caught the most prey! Haha! Feng Xuan looked at his favorite two sons, nodded with satisfaction. Anyone can tell His Majestys different treatment of fourth wangye.
(T/N:osi-old four, familiar moniker for one ranked fourth, in this case, FXQ is the fourth son)
Proudly praising his own son, His Majesty Feng Xuan continued, Second ce is Hua countrys Crown Princes team. Crown Prince of Hua is heroic and brave! His Majesty of Hua is fortunate to have such a son! His Majesty Feng Xuan also praised Hua Xiu Yi. In Emperor Feng Xuans opinion, Hua Xiu Yi was a good Crown Prince. He would be a qualified ruler.
Thank His Majesty of Fengs praise! Crown Prince of Hua rose and bowed. Though he seemed unrestrained, his etiquette was proper, not an extremely arrogant person.
This third ce isoers team, not bad either. Butpared to Crown Prince of Hua, it is not as good! Emperor Feng Xuan chuckled. His words were merely the truth. There wasnt much difference in the amount of prey between Feng Xia Qis team and Hua Xiu Yis team. Whenpared to Hua Xiu Yi, Feng Shao Chu was severelycking.
Feng Shao Chu deliberately nodded respectfully, but the hand on the table already curled into a tight fist. Imperial Father is always like this. No matter what he did, he didnt receive Imperial Fathers praise. Imperial Fathers eyes only hadosi andoliu. When he ascends the throne, the first hell remove isosi andoliu. Lets see how Imperial Father will spoil them!
(T/N:oer-old second,oliu-old sixth)
As a matter of fact, Feng Shao Chu misunderstood His Majesty. Although His Majesty didnt care about this son Feng Shao Chu, on such an asion, as the Emperor, how could he express this? Besides, the Emperor merely spoke the truth. Most importantly, the Emperor deliberately raised up Hua Xiu Yi. The rtionship between each country needs to be maintained, much less, the future ruler was Hua Xiu Yi. His fourth son already made Hua Xiu Yi and the other countries lose face, so he had to y the bad guy.
The other youths are all good! Emperor Feng Xuan stood up, the people below stood up ordingly, Tonight well use the prey everyone caught for dinner and let the other countries have a taste of todays prey!
Thanks Your Majesty! everyone leaned over in salutation. There were already guards who dragged those prey down, handing it over to the Imperial kitchen to prepare for dinner. Everyone returned to their own tent to change clothes. They cant wear riding attire to attend tonights banquet.
Lan You Nian followed Lan Jian Jun back to General Manors tent. General Manors tent had two. Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian were in the same tent while Lan You Nian had one to herself. Lan You Nian entered the tent, her lips curled into a smile.
Due to being on the hunting grounds, everyones tent was rtively simple. But Lan You Nian found the floor of her tent was covered with whole pieces of pure white woolen rugs. Other little things like the dressing table were also arranged inside. These things were all the best. The bed was even carved out of fragrant wood. The brocade nket on it was made by the best embroideress of Su embroidery. Looking at these, Lan You Nian knew who did it. Besides that man, who would be so considerate of her?
Young miss, this must be prepared by Ming wang! Following her was Lan Wu who excitedly looked over the decorations in the tent. She and Lan Qu were worried that the environment of the hunting grounds would be very poor. Though young miss didnt care about suffering, they didnt hope to take care of young misss daily life. They didnt expect for Ming wang to already have thought of this.
Besides Ming wang, which man would be so meticulous? Lan Qu also was pleased with the arrangement in the tent, Only Ming wangs care will receive young misss heart! Lan Qu also understood if it were ordinary people, young miss wouldnt care at all!
Alright, when have you guys learned to tease me? Lan You Nian sat on the big soft bed, looking at Lan Qu and Lan Wu, After a few days, well deal with Lan Qu and Lan Rens matters! Then well have to find a good person for Lan Wu!
Young miss! Lan Qu shouted shyly, red-faced, then ran out of the tent in embarrassment. With young miss making the match, she and Lan Ren already mutually promised each other their life. However their master was still young miss, the most important person was still young miss.
Young miss, I wont marry! I want to stay with young miss! Lan Wu said directly. Lan Wu felt Lan Qu can stay with young miss because she was together with Lan Ren. If she was promised to another, she might have to leave young miss. Lan Wu wasnt willing to do this!
You might say this now, but if you encountered the right person, Im afraid you cant wait to have me let you go, Lan You Nian teased. She hoped the people around her to find happiness, like her, receiving a sincere love.
Lan Wu wanted to refute something, but noticed Lan Qu came in....
Young miss! Lan Qu helped the pale Hua Mu Qing into the tent. Hua Mu Qings eyes reddened upon seeing Lan You Nian.
Nianer meimei... Hua Mu Qing embraced Lan You Nian, her voice was sobbing, then poured out her grievances, Wuwu, dont know who was it that put so many snakes in my tent. Im most afraid of snakes! If I didnt dodge quickly, Im afraid I would have lost my life!
Hua Mu Qing recalled the situation at that time and felt afraid. She walked into the tent to change her clothes, but as soon as she entered the tent, she realized the tent full of poisonous snakes were crawling towards her. Most women were afraid of these things. Hua Mu Qing wasnt an exception. Fortunately, Hua Mu Qing reacted quickly and escaped hastily. The first person Hua Mu Qing thought of when she escaped from the tent was Lan Mo Xian and Lan You Nian. Although she and Lan Mo Xian were already engaged, if she tantly entered Lan Mo Xians tent which was also her future father-inws tent, it wouldnt be appropriate, so Hua Mu Qing came over to Lan You Nians ce.
Lan You Nians lips bloomed with a sinister cold smile, like a spider lily blooming on a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, cold and mystifying. The other people in the tent shivered, only feeling the chill settling all over their body.
Lan You Nian appeased Hua Mu Qing for a while then to Lan Qu she said, Go ask older brother toe over!
Then to Lan Wu, Investigate! I want to see who has such big guts to bully my friend! You can borrow Xuans people! This was the Imperial familys ce. Due to being on the hunting grounds, the security was even more strict. Though Lan Wu had some skills of her own, it wouldnt be easy to investigate such a matter in this ce.
Yes! Lan Wu left the tent. Shes apanied young miss for many years and knew her limits. In such a ce, such a time, if she made any mistakes, the first to be incriminated would be young miss. Lan Wu wouldnt do something as stupid as overestimating ones abilities. Lan Wu carefully headed towards Ming wangs tent.
Lan Mo Xian wondered why his little sister had hime over, but when he stepped into the tent, he saw his future wife who was usually vibrant pale-faced and knew something has happened. Lan Mo Xian quickly supported Hua Mu Qing, anxiously asking, What has happened?
Lan Qu reported the matter from beginning to end. Lan Mo Xian was enraged, Have you found who did it. See if I dont kill him! Lan Mo Xian was afraid just thinking of what could have happened. If Hua Mu Qing was bitten by those poisonous snakes, hes fearful whether she would be alive or dead!
This junzhu will end her! She dares to treat this junzhu like this, she really doesnt want her life! Originally, Hua Mu Qing was afraid, but after Lan You Nian and Lan Mo Xiansforting, she was once again full of hot blood, recovered entirely. She wasnt such a delicate woman at all. This is why people like her.
Young miss, junzhus tent has been cleaned up! Lan Wu walked in.
Tonight, older brother apany Mu Qing jiejie. If there are people who think of wicked ideas, you can protect Mu Qing jiejie! Lan You Nian said.
Though Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing didnt think it was logical, one person was terrified, and the other was really worried. Besides, the two were both serious people. Nothing would happen. So under cover of night, Lan Mo Xian sent Hua Mu Qing back to her tent.
Chapter 154 - Eldest Princess’s Marriage
154 Eldest Princesss Marriage
Who did it? Lan You Nian asked. She knew that since Lan Wu came back, as well as cleaned up Hua Mu Qings tent, she must have discovered who was behind this.
Young miss, the one to put the poisonous snakes in junzhus tent is Yue countrys Yue Qian Ling! Lan Wu said. This time, it was Ming wang who had An Yi investigate. Lan Wu can tell that Ming wangs forces in the pce werent to be underestimated.
Lan You Nian was silent for a while. From the start, she suspected that this was connected to Yue Qian Ling. Today, Hua Mu Qing and Yue Qian Ling tantly had discord between them. Yue Qian Ling is used to being arrogant and domineering. Evening to Feng country, she didnt restrain herself.
What about those poisonous snakes? Lan You Nianid on therge, soft bed, a bloody flower bloomed on her lips.
An Yi has captured all of them. It should be with An Yi right now Lan Wu recalled the pile of poisonous snakes in the tent and her scalp tingled with numbness. Fortunately the person who ced the snakes in Hua Mu Qings tent put something outside the tent, otherwise, if those poisonous snakes slipped out, then tonight the entire hunting grounds will be in chaos.
Young miss, you dont know ah! Those poisonous snakes are truly terrifying. That Yue Qian Ling is really vicious! We must teach her a lesson! Lan Wu and Hua Mu Qings rtionship was pretty good so inside, she was infuriated.
Since Yue Qian Ling is so leisurely... Lan You Nian leaned over whispering in Lan Wus ear. Lan Wus eyes brightened.
Lan Wu giddily left the tent then Lan Qu came in, What ideas has young miss thought of that made Lan Wu skip her way out so unsightly? If others see, who knows what theyll say about young miss.
Lan You Nian unconcerned said, Lan Wus personality is fine. You guys can do whatever you want. Theres no need to consider me! Lan You Nian knew due toing to the capital Lan Wu, and Lan Qus tempers have changed a lot, afraid to bring her trouble. But she Lan You Nians people, she will protect.
Young miss always spoils us. I dont know how many lives weve cultivated to have the blessing of meeting young miss! Lan Qu said while searching for the clothes to wear for tonights banquet. Their previous life was full of hardship, it was hell, but they now possessed happiness they never had before.
Lan Qu brushed her young misss hair and helped her change out of the clothes. She couldnt help sighing, Young miss is so beautiful, dont know how peerlessly beautiful you will be when youve reached adulthood. Really profited Ming wang!
PuLan You Nian burst out inughter... She couldnt help feel unfair for Feng Yi Xuan. An obviously peerless appearance that due to the indifference made others not dare look. But Lan You Nian was pleased that no one covets Feng Yi Xuan. Otherwise, she will be angry.
Alright, attend the banquet! Lan You Nian walked out of the tent and headed towards the brightly lit open field.....
Lan You Nian saw the dinner banquet was being held on the vast open space. A high tform has been constructed. People sat under the moon chatting, it was quite a different experience.
Lan You Nian wore a white tube top dress, with a pure white jacket, a moon-white belt wrapped around her waist, like a fairy falling down to earth without being stained by the mortal world, looking noble and elegant, pleasing to the eye.
After taking a seat, there were pce maids who presented the cooked delicious-looking food. The dishes were mainly made from todays caught prey. Everyone was busy all day as well as many people hunted in person so tonight couldnt help themselves from having a taste of the fragrant dishes.
Halfway through the meal, Xue countrys prime minister who hasnt made any moves stood up. To the Emperor, he saluted, Your Majesty of Feng, this minister under themand of my countrys majesty wants to wee Feng countrys eldest princess in marriage, to seal our two countries alliance!
Lan You Nians eyes shed with interest. It seems there will be a good y tonight. From the start, Lan You Nian knew Feng Xiao Luo has been cured under Feng Yi Xuansmand. Lan You Nian suspected that Feng Yi Xuan was nning something. From the looks of it, Feng Yi Xuan intends to use Feng Xiao Luo as a chip for peace marriage. However, Lan You Nian didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to even involve Xue country in his scheme.
Oh? This is a happy event! Emperor Feng Xuan chuckled in reply. Everyone could pretty much guess what this was going to be about.
Feng Xiao Luo sat below the Empress. Because it was nighttime, Feng Xiao Luo didnt use a protective screen. She only wore a veil. In fact, she wasnt even willing to wear the veil but ever since her face wilted and aged, shes searched for many physicians without any result. Later, it was Empress Mother who found a civilian physician who finally cured her. That physician said her face cant be blown by the wind. Otherwise, it will return to that terrifying look.
Feng Xiao Luo hearing Pei Fu represented Xue countrys Emperors imperial decree to request a marriage, Feng Xiao Luo snuck a peek at Pei Fu and saw a handsome man standing straight. Feng Xiao Luo felt although Pei Fu was already thirty, he was really good-looking. Inside, she was expectant of who she would have to marry. Even if it wasnt Pei Fu, it should be Xue countrys prince. Feng Xiao Luo knew as a princess she had her duty as a princess, but if she can marry a high-standing and influential person, Feng Xiao Luo was willing.
Which of Xue countrys young masters is Prime Minister Pei requesting the marriage of this emperors eldest daughter? Feng Xuan asked deliberately though his heart knew better than anyone. How can he not know? Because before this, his sixth son came to find him to let him agree to this marriage request. If he didnt agree, then he wont bother with any of Feng countrys matters. Feng Xuan was angered half to death by his son. Firstly, he did spoil his fourth son and sixth son. Secondly, Feng country really cant not have Feng Yi Xuan.
This minister seeks Feng countrys eldest princess for my countrys thirteenth qinwang! Pei Fu said respectfully.
(T/N: Qinwang: usually a title granted to the Emperors brother)
So it was like this, everyone thought. Xue countrys thirteenth qinwang was the current Emperors own younger brother. The Emperor was very indulgent of this younger brother. Not only did he give him the title of qinwang but also extremely protective. This thirteenth qinwang was already 50 or so years old this year. He is also ascivious libertine. The thirteenth qinwang not only liked women but even handsome young masters he did not let go of. In the backyard of qinwang manor, there were countless women and imprisoned men. This wasnt anything new in the other countries.
En, to have a connection by marriage is a good thing. Someone record the decree! Emperor Feng Xuan said to the eunuch beside him. He now felt his sixth son wasnt someone who should be provoked. He didnt know how his eldest daughter provoked him to think of such an idea. But Emperor Feng Xuan was a ruthless person. Though Feng Xiao Luo was his daughter, she was also a princess, so Feng Xuan didnt feel any guilt.
Your Majesty! The Empress couldnt sit there any longer without saying something. She expended a lot of manpower and resources to find someone to cure her daughters face. Now her daughter hasnt even lived some good days before she needs to marry. Its fine to marry, but she will marry Xue countrys thirteenth qinwang. Everyone knew what kind of person he was. Wouldnt her daughter be a joke for other people? Moreover, her daughter was only in her teens, but she would have to marry an old man, how big of a grievance was this!
But Emperor Feng Xuan gazed at the Empress coldly, there was a clear warning in those eyes! Emperor Feng Xuan didnt have any feelings for the Empress, no, it should be said towards the consorts in the harem, Feng Xuan didnt have any feelings. Those women were only used to bnce power. Those children in Emperor Feng Xuans eyes were only assets.
The Empress knew what Feng Xuans eyes meant. She just made a mistake some time ago, if she rebelled against the Emperor again, then her Empresss position would be in danger. The Empress looked at her daughter with worry, not uttering a word.
But eldest princess Feng Xiao Luo couldnt stand it. She thought once she recovered her face, she can marry a man she liked. She didnt expect her Imperial Father wants her to marry a man who was even older than Imperial Father. Feng Xiao Luo, growing up, has always been haughty. How can she bear such a thing? She wanted to cause a ruckus, but she still remembered her Empress Mothers teachings. She knew that as a princess, she should act like a princess.
Imperial Father! Feng Xiao Luo painfully looked at her Imperial Father, that Imperial Father who was never concerned about her, Imperial Father, subject-daughter wont marry!
Outrageous! Emperor Feng Xuan scolded, seeing Feng Xiao Luo was cut from the same cloth as the Empress. If it werent for these women, how could his beloved woman die? So seeing Feng Xiao Luos painful pleading, the Emperor didnt have any ounce of sympathy.
Feng Xiao Luo was afraid of her Imperial Father. The man above wasnt only her Imperial Father, but he was the ruler of a country. Yet Feng Xiao Luo was reluctant to marry like this, Imperial Father, subject-daughters face has been ruined. I cant marry over to Xue country!
The women sent to peace marriage were not allowed to have any sorts of disease or disfigured, so if Feng Xiao Luo was still looked like she did before, she cant head over for the peace marriage. Its a pity that Feng Xiao Luos face has already recovered.
There were some doubts in everyones hearts. Eldest princess hasnt made an appearance for many days. Countless times she always wore a veil to conceal her face. This made everyone believe her to a few degrees.
Lan You Nian saw such a stupid Feng Xiao Luo and didnt know what to say. Though Feng Xiao Luo wanted to use this excuse to eliminate the marriage, she isnt disfigured. This was lying, and it was lying to the Emperor. This was the heavy crime of lying to the Emperor.
The Empress didnt speak. Obviously, she didnt have any ideas about how to deal with this brainless daughter. Feng Shao Chu didnt utter a word. Fighting over the throne was the most dangerous time of all. He cant drag himself down just for his imperial sister!
If Fengs eldest princess is really disfigured, then this marriage can be dropped, but there isnt any proof except your words. Please ask eldest princess to take down your veil to let everyone have a look! Pei Fu said, neither humble or disrespectful, neither angry or anxious as if he wasnt at all bothered by Feng Xiao Luos matters.
Feng Xiao Luo panicked. She lied in a moment of desperation. If she really took off her veil, then wouldnt everything be known? Then she will definitely have to marry that Xue countrys qinwang. Feng Xiao Luo clutched her veil, exposing herself the more she tried to hide, This princesss face cant be shown just because you want to see. This princesss face is disfigured is the truth. Theres no need to look!
The Emperor saw such a discourteous and insensible Feng Xiao Luo, he was even more displeased inside. To Feng Xiao Luo, Luoer, take off your veil. If your face is truly disfigured, Imperial Father cant let a disfigured daughter marry to Xue country!
Once the Emperor spoke, even if Feng Xiao Luo was extremely unwilling, she trembled as she tugged off the veil. Instantly, apletely undamaged face was revealed to the crowd.
Today Feng Xiao Luo wore a purple-red, embroidered with silver-thread rambler rose, brocade dress. On the cuffs were imprinted with flowery designs. A glittering gold belt wrapped around the body. Her hairstyle was pinned with purple gemstonece-detailed golden hairpin, with a set of iid purple gemstone buyao. Her skin due to just having been detoxified of the poison is like white porcin, willow bent eyebrows, her twin eyes twinkled with the luster of fear. Just a nce, Feng Xiao Luo was a beautiful looking woman. She was suitable to marry for peace.
(T/N: buyao-a certain type of hairpin which has parts that dangle and sway with each step hence the name)
Luoer! Emperor Feng Xuan dissatisfied looked at Feng Xiao Luo. He didnt like this daughter was one thing. As the Emperor, what he hated most was to be deceived by others. Feng Xiao Luo really made the Emperor hate her. Most likely, no matter what happens in the future, the Emperor wouldnt ask any questions.
Imperial Father! Subject-daughter... Feng Xiao Luo knew this was bad, so she wanted to beg for forgiveness, but Feng Xuan didnt give any opportunity to Feng Xiao Luo to plead her case.
Eunuch Lu propose the decree, eldest princess Feng Xiao Luo has both virtue and good morals. She is the epitome of a princess. Specially confer onto her as Shan De Princess to marry Xue countrys thirteen qinwang! Emperor Feng Xuan dered. This meant that Feng Xiao Luos peace marriage was final.
(T/N: Shan De-shan means kind while de means virtuous)
Thanks Your Majesty of Feng! Pei Fu saluted then sat back down. Feng Xiao Luo dumbly didnt know know what to do. If the crowd wasnt ridiculing her, then it was sympathy. Peoples hearts were selfish. If it didnt concern their own interests, no one would have any feelings about it.
Hehe, Your Majesty of Feng, this crown prince also wants to request a marriage! This crown prince wants to marry back a crown princess! Hua Xiu Yi stood up smiling.
Many of the females looked shy. They especially checked over their makeup to see if it was still decent and felt Hua countrys Crown Prince has taken a liking to them. Lan Ya stared at Hua Xiu Yi in disbelief. Was this man going to marry her? Lan Ya was clearly afraid of Hua Xiu Yi, but she still longed for it inside.
Oh? Emperor Feng Xuan was a little surprised. The Crown Princess wasnt a trifling matter. She might be the Mother of a country. Yet Hua Xiu Yi dares to marry a woman from another country to be the Mother of a nation. Feng Xuan felt this Hua Xiu Yi really had great courage.
Who might this young miss Crown Prince of Hua likes?
Chapter 155 - Fiancée
155 Fiance.
For some reason, Lan You Nians heart tightened with the look Hua Xiu Yi shot her. It better not be like that...
This Crown Prince wants to ask for the hand in marriage of noble countrys Lan manors young miss Lan You Nian! Hua Xiu Yi said as if until his words reached an astonishing degree, he wont give up. Then he faintly smiled at Lan You Nian. That smile made people drunk on it. His voice was warm as the spring breezes caress, his eyes were affectionate.
Hua Xiu Yis sudden request for marriage shocked everyone. Many women were envious. Which woman didnt want to marry into a noble family? Not to mention Hua Xiu Yi wasnt that old, only twenty years old, very young. His appearance was also one in ten thousand. His status was also superior. Such a man was the home many women longed for. But this didnt mean Lan You Nian thought so too.
Hua Xiu Yi actually didnt know what he was thinking himself. When Pei Fu mentioned marriage alliance, he inexplicably thought of Lan You Nian. The women in his Crown Prince manor wasnt a little amount, but none of whom had a proper status. In Hua Xiu Yis eyes, none of those women were worthy of obtaining a status. But now Hua Xiu Yi thought if it was Lan You Nian, it wasnt that difficult to ept.
Lan Ya looked at Lan You Nian who was simply sitting there and still attracted everyones gaze, revealing a sinister expression. Her deep eyes were hidden a deep torrent of hatred. The moment she lifted her eyes, it caused ones heart to tremble. She really wanted to charge forward and kill Lan You Nian, this slut who always ruined her good things. But she knew she cant. She didnt have anything. How can she win over Lan You Nian?
Yue Bai Lian gazed at Lan You Nian with worry. She didnt expect Hua countrys Crown Prince to take an interest in master. Although Hua countrys Crown Prince appeared good to get along with, in fact, he wasnt a good person. Moreover, how can a girl like master tolerate other people manipting her marriage? Yue Bai Lian really hated she was born a girl; otherwise, she can...can what? Yue Bai Lian didnt dare to covet. She knew it was impossible between her and master. But even so, she still hoped master can obtain happiness.
Lan Jian Jun was also shocked. Honestly, no one expected Hua Xiu Yi would suddenly say he wanted to marry Lan You Nian. Lan Jian Jun pulled Lan You Nian over to his side. In his life, he only had one daughter. When she was young, he didnt do anything a father should have done, causing his daughter to suffer so much so young as well as suffering poisoned. He will never allow his daughter to suffer any wrongs anymore. Even if that person was another countrys Crown Prince, so what! He Lan Jian Jun hasbatted for Feng country for most of his life. Now, he only wanted to protect his daughter. Homnd homnd. In Lan Jian Juns heart right now, the most important was family. No one was allowed to hurt his daughter, even if he had to stake his life, he didnt care.
While Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An who were sitting there were infuriated. However, they knew it wasnt time for them to speak. This matter hasnt been finalized so they cant panic first. Feng Xia Qi watched the girl who was illuminated under the firelight and bing more beautiful. He didnt know what his heart was feeling, but he didnt have any thoughts of plundering.
His Majesty sitting on the high position was forthwith speechless. What is this ah! If it was someone else, even if it was a princess, it was doable. After all, the marriage alliance between the two countries was a good thing, especially as it was the position of Crown Princess. This Lan manors girl was the one his sixth son was crazy about. His sixth son cherished her a lot, even telling him, in his life he will only marry one person. Feng Xuan knew his sons temper. If he really agreed to Hua Xiu Yis marriage request, then his son will definitely flip over the entire Feng country. Based on his sixth sons stubbornness, if he didnt marry, how can he hold his grandchildren?
In the entire banquet, the most infuriated was Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans gaze frosted. Turning his head, he ruthlessly shot Hua Xiu Yi a look. His gaze was like sharp swords. Everyone seemed to be able to hear the sharp sword shing open the gasps in the air.
Is Miss Lan willing to marry this crown prince? Hua Xiu Yi didnt look at Feng Yi Xuans eyes. Instead, he straightforwardly asked Lan You Nian. No one saw Hua Xiu Yis seemingly false gentleness had real fear.
Benwang doesnt agree! Feng Yi Xuan stood up shouting. A pair of deep ck eyes became even more bottomless. There was even a hint of purple. It gave people a sense of danger as if a thousandyers of mountainous waves were surging in those pair of eyes and will surge out roaring like fierce floods and savage beasts.
Everyone blew up the pot. Hua countrys Crown Prince was asking for marriage, why did Ming wang stand up? Especially as Ming wang said he didnt agree. This matter should be decided by His Majesty, or else they should ask Lan You Nians opinion. How can Ming wang stand up and interfere with a females marriage?
The Emperor looked at Feng Yi Xuan and Hua Xiu Yi below. He had to say that both people were dragons amongst people. The Emperor felt it was best he didnt intervene in some things. His fourth son seemed to have shot him a look, the meaning was obvious, telling him not to intervene. Feng Xuan felt him this Emperor was really....
What reason does Ming wang have for not agree? This crown prince is asking to marry Miss Lan! Hua Xiu Yi looked at his opponent Feng Yi Xuan with displeasure. One seductive as snow, one indifferent as ink. Both were stunning men. Their bearing was iparable.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at Hua Xiu Yi as if giving out charity, his lips were slightly smiling. It made many people feel that they have been blinded. Ming wang knows how to smile? And to smile so warmly? Whats wrong with this world?
Because Nian Nian is benwangs future wife! Feng Yi Xuans naturally curved into an elegant arc. The low voice had a domineering tone that Lan You Nian was familiar with.
Actually, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to say Nian Nian was his person but considering Nian Nians reputation, Feng Yi Xuan said future wife instead. If he wasnt afraid Nian Nian will get angry, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do this long ago. He wanted the people in the world to know that Nian Nian was his hearts treasure. No one can touch. Having determined their rtionship, he can publicly walk together and sit together with Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan cant stand how every time they must pretend to be unfamiliar with each other outside.
At this, everyone was shocked that they heard wrong. Lan manors legitimate daughter who is well known in the capital is actually Ming wangs future wife? Dont joke around okay? Who is Ming wang? That famous God of War, as well as that frightening, terrible god. Usually, there wasnt any woman y his side. Before, there was someone who lusted after Ming wangs good-looks and wanted to marry Ming wang. At that time, Ming wang killed that person. Such a Ming wang actually has a future wife? And it seems he cherishes her a lot. They suddenly couldnt wrap their heads around it!
Hua Xiu Yi, hearing Feng Yi Xuan bluntly dering his identity, felt put out inside. However, Hua Xiu Yi believed he was put out by Feng Yi Xuan stealing something of his. He didnt think much on it.
Lan Mo Xian and Jing Wu An didnt know whether tough or cry from Feng Yi Xuans straightforward exnation. They knew Feng Yi Xuan liked Lan You Nian and were happy to see them together, but they knew Feng Yi Xuan, and Lan You Nian havent been engaged alright? Is it really okay to lie without batting an eye?
Feng Xia Qi saw his younger brother standing in the light of thenterns dering his possessiveness towards Lan You Nian. Feng Xia Qi suddenly gave birth to a shred of envy, but it was merely envy, there wasnt any jealousy. Feng Xia Qi told himself, this was good, younger brother finally received his happiness!
Lan Jian Jun looked at such a shameless Ming wang and really wanted to rant, this is his daughter! Lan Jian Jun was aware that Ming wang liked his daughter, even that he loved his daughter deeply. But as a father, he didnt see Ming wangs power. Instead, he wanted to find someone who will treat his daughter well. Lan Jian Jun didnt want his daughter to marry into the imperial family. He feared his daughter wouldnt like such an environment. But this wasnt the time to say these things.
Future wife? Hua Xiu Yis red lips were tempting as mes, Howe this Crown Prince doesnt know Miss Lan is engaged? And its to Ming wang you, Hua Xiu Yi didnt admit defeat. Whether it was because this girl was too special or he wanted topete with Feng Yi Xuan, he only knew he wanted to marry this girl.
Nian Nian has the jade pendant of benwangs wangfus matriarch. Benwang and Nian Nians marriage is known by Imperial Father and General Lan. Both of them have agreed. There is both the dictates of our parents as well as the engagement token. Of course, Nian Nian is benwangs future wife! Feng Yi Xuan just stood there, broad shoulders and long legs, his back was very straight, steady and tall. It was just a figure, a posture that cant be any more normal, however, it gave people a sense of oppression.
Oh? Engagement token? Is this true Miss Lan? Hua Xiu Yis slight smile remains unchanged with the suspicion of bing even more gentle.
Lan You Nian had to stand up. She took out a jade pendant Feng Yi Xuan gave her in the past. She didnt know this jade pendant was the symbol for Ming wangfus matriarch. At that time, she hadnt epted Feng Yi Xuan yet. She didnt expect that at that time Feng Yi Xuan would give such a precious jade pendant to her. Lan You Nian didnt know what to say about Feng Yi Xuan.
This jade pendant was round and smooth as if the whole piece of jade was immersed in water, moist and shiny. It was a top-grade fine jade, dark green and transparent. The front was engraved with a life-like dragon; the back was engraved with Xuan! This jade not only represented Ming wangfus matriarch, but it can also mobilize Ming wangfus shadow guards, wealth and everything else!
Feng Yi Xuan approached Lan You Nian, picking up the jade pendant This is benwangs jade pendant. It is also the jade pendant that can only be owned by Ming wangfus matriarch! Does Hua countrys crown prince have any more doubts? Keeping aloof, noble and cold, cold words, already exuded a superiors usual decisiveness cold breath.
Hua Xiu Yis lips brimmed with a smile. However, this smile added a bit of sinister evil. He knew that no matter what he says, it wouldnt be possible. But seeing that girl obediently standing beside Feng Yi Xuan, Hua Xiu Yi felt ufortable inside, very ufortable! The Lan You Nian hes always seen was always reasonable and indifferent, especially unapproachable. But this girl removed the alienation around her body, looking even more beautiful, but it wasnt for him.
Hahaha! This is zhens negligence! Emperor Feng Xuanughed and smoothed things over, Ming wang and Lan familys girls marriage ah, zhen and subject Lan have already discussed a while ago and settled the two childrens marriage. But considering Lan familys girl is still young, it hasnt been announced. Didnt expect Hua countrys crown prince to misunderstand!
Lan Jian Jun clenched his fist, ring his eyes. For the first time, he wasnt self-conscious of being a courtier. The Emperor was red at by his courtier and felt a little embarrassed. But there was no other way ah! Such a good girl, if he didnt steal over earlier for his son, where will he go cry to in the future?
Lan Jian Jun really wanted to swear his familys Nian Nian hasnt been engaged to anyone! but Lan Jian Jun knew if he did this, his daughter would probably attract Hua countrys crown prince, that troublesome man. But Lan Jian Jun still didnt feel well inside. His daughter he hasnt cherished enough, how can he let others snatch her away?
Those who knew the inside story were shocked by the Emperors shamelessness, but no one said a thing. Lets not say Feng Yi Xuan, and Lan You Nian were mutually in love, just say to avoid the problematic matter of Lan You Nian going through a peace-marriage, this way was for the best.
Yue Bai Lian studied the legendary Ming wang. His starry eyes seemed to contain an icy brilliance, the eyebrows flew into hair, his face was like it was carved, his nose was straight, and the arc was beautiful. Bai Lian had to admit this Ming wangs looks were good. It can match master, but...Yue Bai Lian nced at Lan You Nian. Most men in the world were fickle, just like her Imperial Father that scum. Yue Bai Lian hoped to bless Lan You Nian, but she worried.
Hua Xiu Yi flicked a look at Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian standing in the center. That mans posture was straight like a pine, face as seductive as a rose, temperament noble and outstanding. The girl at his side wore a pure white long dress, tall and slim, facial features exquisite and stunning, temperament aloof and elegantly pure. The two were strangely well-matched, making Hua Xiu Yis eyes sh.
Hua Xiu Yi looked at Lan You Nian, his eyes filled with wickedness, Since Miss Lan has already been promised to Ming wang, this crown prince wont steal someones love, but if Miss Lan regrets....
No need for Hua countrys crown prince to trouble yourself! Feng Yi Xuans piercing daggers shot out from his pupils. An Emperors imposing manner that cant be vited was increasing.
Hua Xiu Yis aura also spread out, wickedly smirking, Hopefully... Then as if nothing happened, he sat back down as if the one who requested for marriage and was rejected wasnt him. There wasnt a sense of losing face, or that is to say, no one dared to let him lose face.
Lan You Nian felt she has been engaged in such a baffling way, bewilderingly bing Feng Yi Xuans future wife. And she, it seems, didnt dislike this feeling, even inside, theres some expectancy. Perhaps it wont be bad to be together with such a man.
Lan You Nian returned to her seat. Everyones gaze wasplicated following Lan You Nian. Who would have expected noble Ming wang and Hua countrys crown prince would both be interested in Lan manors legitimate daughter. Everyone couldnt helpmenting Lan You Nians good fortune.
After sitting down, Lan You Nian noticed many people were gaping at her. Sliding her eyes beside her, Lan You Nian was speechless. Because noble Ming wang actually sat with her in the seating of the court officials, he even sat right beside her as he picked out the bones in the food. From the looks of it, everyone knew this wasnt the first time Ming wang did this. But everyone still felt horrified. In the past, the one youre afraid of, feared, looked up to now meticulously served a woman. This feeling was too inconceivable!
Howe youre sitting here? Lan You Nian asked. After all, wangyes seat was at the top.
Chapter 156 - If You Don’t Leave or Abandon
156 If You Dont Leave or Abandon
You are my fiancee! Feng Yi Xuan smiled warmly, that pair of deep sea-like eyes brimmed with abiding deep affection, deeply wrapping Lan You Nian inside.
He was annoyed how in everyones eyes he and Nian Nian had to pretend to be unfamiliar with each other. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, Nian Nian is only. She can only be his. So he wanted to stay with Nian Nian instead of sitting far away and watching every time.
How can Lan You Nian not know what Feng Yi Xuan was thinking? Feng Yi Xuan was like arge canine, inexplicably fawning over her.
Lan You Nian saw everyones horrified look as well as His Majestys vexation in seeing his son being a ve to his wife. There were officials under Feng Yi Xuan who carefully looked over Feng Yi Xuan, afraid their wangye has been substituted. Feng Yi Xuan saw so many people for not growing any eyes staring at him as well as Nian Nian. Instantly, his oppressive aura spread. Everyone immediately withdrew their eyes and knew Ming wang was still Ming wang. He only treated Lan You Nian differently.
Lan You Nian had no qualms as she ate the food Feng Yi Xuan picked out. The more she looked, the more she thought there was something wrong with Feng Yi Xuan. Though Feng Yi Xuan usually was like this, he wasnt so diligent as if afraid she would be angry. Lan You Nian allowed Feng Yi Xuan to busy himself without stopping himself because this wasnt the time to ask the reason behind this.
After the banquet has ended, Lan Jian Jun was congratted and fawned over by everyone. After all, Ming wang was a wangye who held military power in his hands as well as having His Majestys deep favor. Lan You Nian has now be Ming wangs fiancee. Everyone can see His Majesty was pleased with this daughter inw. If they didnt ingratiate themselves down, what are they waiting for?
Meanwhile, Lan Jian Jun, with a stiff face, dealt with these officials perfunctorily. Inside, he was furious. He didnt want to settle his down his daughter so early at all!
Because they were in the wilds, there wasnt enough water to bathe. Even if there was, it was for His Majesty, his consorts and the noble representatives. Like Lan You Nian the legitimate daughter of ministers home werent qualified to receive those endless resources. But when Lan You Nian walked into the tent to wash up and sleep, Lan Qu came in.
Young miss! Lan Qu said happily, Ming wang sent people over with buckets of hot water. Young miss can rest after a bath! Lan Qu knew her familys young miss loved to be clean. Shes been busy all day. If she didnt bathe, she most likely wouldnt have a good nights rest. Lan Qu was prepared to boil water herself but didnt expect Ming wang to already have thought of this.
Lan You Nianid in the bathtub filled with warm water where fresh flower petals floated on the waters surface. Lan You Nian smiled to herself. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to even think of this.
Suddenly Lan You Nian widened her eyes. Because, because in her tent, there stood a man. That man was Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan was currently gaping at Lan You Nian who was in the water without any clothes.
After Feng Yi Xuan returned to his own tent and took a bath, he wanted toe to see Nian Nian. Without Nian Nian by his side, he always felt there was something missing. So Feng Yi Xuan silently entered. But Feng Yi Xuan never imagined he would catch sight of such an amorous scene. His Nian Nian was squatting inside the bathtub. Her thick raven ck strands of hair hung with droplets of water beads. The beads of water emitted glittering and translucent shine, illuminating her flushed little face bright and beautiful, so tantalizing that it made people couldnt help but want to take a bite. Red flower petals obstructed the girls enchanting figure from sight, but Feng Yi Xuan can still dimly glimpse the pure white as porcin skin from within the ripples of water, as well as that shapely form. The vicle exposed out of the water was more beautiful than any essory, extremely seductive.
Lan You Nians face was flushed shyly. Though many times she and Feng Yi Xuan slept on the same bed and her living amodations were taken care of by Feng Yi Xuan, but they abided by propriety and didnt go beyond. Though she was concealed under the water, she has been seen. Lan You Nian wasnt only indignant, she was also bashful. But the guilty party was stupidly staring at her.
Get out! Lan You Nian hissed. But the voice in Feng Yi Xuans ears was soft and sticky as it tickled ones heart, melting Feng Yi Xuans heart.
Feng Yi Xuan not only didnt leave instead he took a few steps forward towards Lan You Nians bathtub. He reached out slender calloused fingers to hook onto Lan You Nians chin and couldnt help leaning down and kissing the girls soft, moist and tender pink lips. Lan You Nian didnt have the chance to react when his tongue already pried open her teeth, searching inside her fragrant mouth for her fragrant little tongue, frolicking together.
Feng Yi Xuans kiss was like him, carrying his unique warmth but also containing a domineering attitude. Lan You Nian was kissed by Feng Yi Xuan into panting for breath. Just as she almost ran out of air, Feng Yi Xuan released her. Lan You Nian couldnt help chiding him inside her heart. Men were indeed naturally proficient in these things. In the past Feng Yi Xuans kiss was inexperienced, but now Lan You Nian was unable to hold her ground against Feng Yi Xuans kiss.
Feng Yi Xuan wasnt feeling very well either. His entire body was burning. His lower body has even reacted. Seeing Nian Nians posture sinking in the water but forced himself not to touch. He was afraid he couldnt control himself from doing something that would hurt Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan was afraid Nian Nian would think him to be too impetuous!
Lan You Nian took a while to adjust her breathing. Just as she was about to scold Feng Yi Xuan to tell him to leave so she can change into some clothes, when Lan You Nian lifted her head to look at Feng Yi Xuan, she couldnt help butugh out loud. That stunningly handsome mans eyes were zing as they stared at her bare vicle and skin above the water. But what made Lan You Nian giggle was that there was blood running down Feng Yi Xuans nose.
WhooshFeng Yi Xuan disappeared from the tent in panic like a gust of wind.
Lan You Niansughter became giddier. Because she saw Feng Yi Xuans blushing ears and that dodging gaze. It seems hes embarrassed!
When Lan You Nian was dressed and sleeping peacefully on therge bed, Feng Yi Xuan once again appeared in the tent. His entire person had a serious look as if what just happened was just a dream. If it wasnt Feng Yi Xuans still slightly reddish ear tips, Lan You Nian wouldnt know that the man in front of her was capable of disguising himself so well.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian who was wearing the inner robesying in bed. For some reason, his mind recalled Nian Nians pure white skin in the bathtub. Feng Yi Xuan knew he cant think about this because he felt his nose was about to bleed again.
Feng Yi Xuan personally went to Lan You Nians trunk that contained her clothes, picking out a white cloak then grabbed a one-piece dress over to the bed.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan in confusion. She didnt ask. From the looks of it, Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan wanted her to go out with him. Lan You Nian obediently allowed Feng Yi Xuan to dress her and put on the cloak.
Feng Yi Xuan doesnt know how to do the hair, so he only grabbed a jade hairpin and gathered up Lan You Nians thigh-length long hair. This way, her hair was much shorter, looking lovely and convenient at the same time.
Feng Yi Xuan confirmed that Lan You Nian wouldnt get cold before he picked up the girl into his arms, Go out with me okay? Feng Yi Xuans voice carried a special gentleness with a hint of panic.
Lan You Nian allowed Feng Yi Xuan to fly her out of the tent. Without any of the guards being aware, they left the hunting grounds. In the night, the wind in her ears traveled in all rity into Lan You Nians ears. But what Lan You Nian heard most clearly was the heartbeat in the mans chest.
When Feng Yi Xuan stopped, Lan You Nian dove out of Feng Yi Xuans arms. Instantly, she was shocked by the scenery in front of her. Feng Yi Xuan brought Lan You Nian to a peach blossom forest. Brilliant purple and red peach blossoms nketed the branches. As a slight breeze blew by, pieces of flower petals like a butterfly fluttered from the branches, as if arriving in the immortalnds. In the depths of the peach blossom forest, there was a gazebo. In the gazebo, pink gaze fluttered and danced. Under the moonlights illumination, it was as illusionary as a dream. What a lovely paradise!
Like it? Feng Yi Xuan looked down at the girl whos hand he held in his.
Mhm! Lan You Nian nodded. She didnt expect such a tough man like Feng Yi Xuan would be so romantic.
Feng Yi Xuans lips curled upwards. He gripped Lan You Nians small hand and walked over to the gazebo then from behind he dragged Lan You Nian into his arms. The big warm hand covered up Lan You Nians resplendent eyes. Feng Yi Xuan can feel the blinking eyshes under his palm.
Lan You Nian sensedplete darkness in her eyes. But she didnt have any trace of panic. Instead, because the man she loved was behind her, so she was even more at ease. It seems no matter where it was, this man was the light in her life.
However, after a while, Feng Yi Xuan pulled the palm of his hand away. Lan You Nian opened her eyes....
The entire sky of the peach blossom forest that was filled with fluttering flowers, numerous fireflies were unwilling to be lonely as they danced. Everything was so beautiful. The fireflies wandered in the night like they were searching the dream lost in daylight. The sky was adorned with jewel-like stars; the hazy peach blossom forest, countless fireflies glowing as they danced in flight, like a string, a row of coloredmps, woven into numerous crisscrossing ribbons. Fireflies in twos and threes, suddenly in front, suddenly behind, sometimes high and sometimes low, so light, fleeting, like some invisible little sprites carrying faint greennterns, flying all around. There was even a lot of fireflies that flew over to Lan You Nian, seemingly dancing a beautiful dance in front of Lan You Nians eyes.
Nian Nian, what you want, what I have, I offer it all. What I dont have, I will snatch it for you. So, Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuans handsome face due to panic and seemed even more stunning. The sexy low voicenguidly sounded, Nian Nian, be my Ming wangfus matriarch. Be my, Feng Yi Xuans wangfei. Be the only woman in my life, okay?
Lan You Nian suddenly exhibited a smile. The exquisitely peerless little face became more beautiful; it was soul-stirring. The corner of the eye and eyebrows were all endless charm and coyness, her face tender as water. She finally knew why Feng Yi Xuan would be so nervous tonight. He probably has been preparing this thing but hasnt received her own consent yet theyve already been decreed a marriage. This man ah, hes always like this. He was so good he made her want to cry.
Xuan... Lan You Nian turned her body to look at Feng Yi Xuan. That pair of brilliant shining eyes werepletely sincere, If you dont leave or abandon, I will be together with you in life and death!
Chapter 157 - Protectiveness
157 Protectiveness
When Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian who already fell asleep back to the tent, it was already midnight...
Young... Lan Wu was about to speak, but when she saw Feng Yi Xuans cold eyes, she immediately silenced. Lan Wu knew her familys young master fell asleep with much difficulty. Only when Ming wang was with her would young miss sleep peacefully. Ming wang seemed to spoil young miss a lot.
Feng Yi Xuan took a clean cloth to wipe Lan You Nians face and hands as well as personally took off Lan You Nians shoes and socks, cing the woman on therge bed and tucked her in. Seeing the girl didnt show signs of waking up, only then did he leave the tent after a nce at Lan Wu.
Speak! Feng Yi Xuans icy voice was the same for other women. Even if Lan Wu was Lan You Nians personal maidservant.
Normally, Lan Wu wouldnt talk about it. After all, they knew who their master was. Even if master has epted Ming wang, in their eyes, from beginning to end, their master was Lan You Nian. But Lan Wu seeing such a sweetly sleeping young miss, thinking that this matter wasnt that important, so she reported it.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt show any expression as he listened. Towards Hua Mu Qings bitter experience, he didnt feel any sympathy even though usually it seemed everyones rtionship was rtively good.
An Yi! Feng Yi Xuan said to An Yi who was in the shadows, You take her to deal with it!
Feng Yi Xuan then turned back into the tent. Sure enough, he saw Lan You Nian was already awake, looking at him with wide bright eyes. Feng Yi Xuans unconsciously softened, Woke you up?
Lan You Nian shook her head. In reality, the moment Feng Yi Xuan left the tent, she already woke up. This was outside after all so how could Lan You Nian sleep peacefully without any alertness? IT was only because this man was with her that she can sleep peacefully.
Lan Wu came? Lan You Nian asked. Originally she was going to bring Lan Wu to personally send a present.
Hn! Feng Yi Xuan removed his outer coat and directly ducked under the quilt. There was no extra movement. He only pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, continued to say, I let An Yi and Lan Wu go handle it. you dont need to worry!
Though Feng Yi Xuan was displeased that Lan You Nian was concerned about others, he knew that Lan You Nian was close with her own people. Feng Yi Xuan was happy to pamper her and was very happy to handle those things for her. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, as long as Lan You Nian wants to do it, it was no bother.
Lan You Nian nodded. Of course, she believed in An Yi and Lan Wus abilities. However, she still felt happy inside that Feng Yi Xuan would help her without asking for any reason.
You have nothing to ask me? Lan You Nian blinked her big eyes asking.
Feng Yi Xuan was tickled by the girls dependent and clean eyes, hoarsely saying, As long as you want to do it, I will help you. There is no need for any reason.
Lan You Nian was satisfied with Feng Yi Xuans answer. Just as she was going to say something else, the man pressed Lan You Nians little head against his broad chest.
Sleep! Feng Yi Xuan said. He didnt want Nian Nian to not rest well due to these things.
Lan You Nian revealed a small smile after hearing this. Listening to Feng Yi Xuans heartbeat, she quietly fell asleep. It seemed the steady heartbeat was the most beautiful hypnotic luby, driving away the darkest nightmares in Lan you Nians heart.
The break of dawn of the hunting grounds was the most beautiful. At dawn, everyone was still sleeping in their tent. Only pairs of guards were making their rounds back and forth on the grounds. Everything was silent. The sounds of nature lightly came to life. The flowers and grasses on the hunting grounds hung with dewdrops, making them even more green and exuberant. Under the sunlight, the world was full of vigor. Gazing up into the shy, the moon gradually receded as the sun started to rise.
Not good! Not good! The eunuch and pce maids yelled anxiously. Then the entire grounds became lively. Many ministers and young masters and misses were woken up and came out of their tents to inquire. Even the Emperors tent was rmed.
With the eunuchs piercing voice, Feng Yi Xuan extended a palm to cover up Lan You Nians ears. But it was so noisy outside, how can Lan You Nian sleep? Besides, shes waiting to watch the show!
Get up! Lan You Nian squeaked out in a tender voice, reaching out a hand to push Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan reluctantly got up. He usually left You Nian Pavilion at dawn because there are a lot of official duties to deal with. Now they had the rare chance of being at the hunting grounds with nothing to do, he wanted to lie-in with Nian Nian, but there were these things, Feng Yi Xuan felt very unhappy!
But the mighty Ming wang, no matter how unhappy he was, seeing the slight disheveled little figure on the bed, his mood was miraculously better. Feng Yi Xuan quickly dressed himself then brought over Lan You Nians clothes for her to change into.
Whats wrong? Feng Yi Xuan saw Nian Nian giggling to herself and couldnt help but smile.
Lan You Nian stood on the bed, reaching out her arms to wrap around Feng Yi Xuans neck, naughtily asking, Since noble Ming wang serves this little girl to dress, tell me, what identity do I have that I receive such treatment? Lan You Nian was very rxed with Feng Yi Xuan. She has been spoiled by Feng Yi Xuan and grew some unknown sides. This kind of LAn You Nian made it hard for people to tear their eyes away.
Feng Yi Xuan pinched Lan You Nians cute button nose, his eyes twinkled with indescribable affection, Of course the identity of Ming wangfei! How does wangfei think of benwangs service? What is rare is that Feng Yi Xuan learned to joke around, going along with Lan You Nians words to tease her.
Lan You Nian didnt seem to think Feng Yi Xuan will answer with this. In a moment of amusement, she purposefully made a straight face as she looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Hm, not bad! Ming wang serves well! That little look was too cute, so naughty it made Feng Yi Xuan hate he couldnt take a bite!
Feng Yi Xuan seeing Lan You Nian wanted to y so, of course, he will y with her. He deliberately asked in a silky voice, Then, since benwang serves well, does wangfei have any reward? Feng Yi Xuans eyes deepened.
Lan You Nian was speechless. Seeing Feng Yi Xuans eyes, Lan You Nian knew what Feng Yi Xuan was thinking about. But there was lively outside. If Feng Yi Xuan doesnt return, he will inevitably be detected by others.
Lan You Nian, under Feng Yi Xuans expectant eyes, kissed Feng Yi Xuans cheek then speedily jumped off the bed. He didnt dare provoke this man and still stay here. Otherwise, she will definitely be kissed into distraction.
Feng Yi Xuan really feels he didnt know what to do with this girl. He thought he could get a fragrant kiss at dawn but seeing Nian Nian was far from him, Feng Yi Xuan knew that every time he really was savage. This cant be med on him. Nian Nians taste was too good. Feng Yi Xuan, once having a taste, didnt want to let go.
Young miss! Lan Qu whispered outside the tent. Normally she would go in to serve young miss, but they knew thatst night Ming wang rested in young misss tent so to avoid arousing suspicion, it was best to announce themselves first.
Lan Yu Nian stuck out her tongue at Feng Yi Xuan mischievously, then towards the outside, Come in!
Lan Qu walked into the tent then saw Ming wang, curtsying, Ming wang. Feng Yi Xuan nodded slightly. This was out of respect for Lan You Nian. Otherwise Feng Yi Xuan, how could he bother with a maid?
Feng Yi Xuan walked over towards Lan You Nian, rubbing her long disheveled hair like petting a docile kitty, I will go back first. Remember to eat breakfast! After all, the outside was already a big ruckus, he as Ming wang needed to go take a look.
Mhm! Lan You Nian nodded then Feng Yi Xuan used qinggong to silently leave the tent.
How is it? Lan You Nian sat in front of the soft dressing table, letting Lan Qu style her long hair, indifferently asking as if the noise and panic outside didnt affect her mood.
The pce maid and eunuch who were serving at dawn noticed second princess Feng Yi Shuangs tent was filled with poisonous snakes. Second princess has already been bitten by the poisonous snake. Currently, her life and death are unknown! Lan Qu reported, her voice carried some amounts of gloating.
How unfortunate ah. Xuan as Ming wang should investigate carefully, see who it was that had such big guts to hurt second princess, Lan You Nian looked at her reflection in the mirror whose long hair has beenbed, casually saying.
Lan Qu burst intoughter, then copied her young miss saying, True indeed!
Have funst night? Lan You Nian looked at Lan Wu who hasnt even eaten breakfast. This girl had an active personality. As long as it was to do something bad, she was more energetic than anything. She didnt know who would be able to manage her in the future.
Lan Wu picked up the clean tableware on the table, in three and two bites ate some things, then very uninhibited said, Young miss, next time there is something like this, let me go!
You ah! Lan You Nian headed out of the tent, Just with your amateur martial arts, if it wasnt An Yis help, are you sure you can escape those guards notice? Lan You Nian peered at Lan Wu suspiciously.
Young miss! Lan Wu said dissatisfied, Can you not expose me so quickly? Though she went through training with young miss some time ago, that was only reaction speed, and own self-defense increased a lot, but in martial arts, Lan Wu was still very poor.
Do you need young miss to expose? Lan Qu teased, the few people joked around and arrived at the field. Nearly everyone was there. Emperor Feng Xuan with a cold face, sat at the top overlooking his subjects. Lan You Nian noticed Feng Yi Xuan actually looked a little like the Emperor.
Investigate! His Majesty threw out the teacup. The Emperor was angry may not be that second princess was bitten rather on imperial grounds with so many guards patrolling, there was someone who can ce so many poisonous snakes in a princesss tent. Such a practice isnt it tantly pping the Emperors face?
Yue Qian Ling stood beside Yue Bai Lian entirely panicked. In the crowd, she searched and indeed saw Hua Mu Qing safe and sound standing beside Lan Mo Xian. Hua Mu Qing and Lan Mo Xuans eyes seeing Yue Qian Ling, Lan Mo Xians gaze was chilly watching Yue Qian Ling.
Yue Qian Ling knew she must have been schemed against. She originally wanted to use those poisonous snakes to deal with Hua Mu Qing to exact retribution for Hua Mu Qings arrogance when hunting. But those poisonous snakes how did they end up in Feng countrys second princesss tent?
Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing heard all the details, the two knew this must have been done by Lan You Nian. The two admired Lan You Nians means of doing things at the same time felt warm from Lan You Nians helping hand.
This time thoroughly investigating second princess being bitten was given to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan left the pasture taking his subordinates to investigate. That solemn manner made Lan you Nian blink a few times. Sometimes she thinks Xuan was really ck-bellied.
Under His Majestys authority, everyone stood trembling with fear on the grounds outside the Emperors tent, afraid if they werent careful they would be dragged into it. Yue Qian Ling anxiously looked at Hua Mu Qing. Though she was arrogant in Yue country, in the circumstances, she has hurt a princess, Yue Qian Ling knew she would not benefit.
When all the people almost couldnt stand any longer, Feng Yi Xuan finally returned. Bringing with him Yue countrys guard uniform man.
Laoliu, have you found anything? The Emperor stood up, asking. Emperor believed in Feng Yi Xuans abilities. He knew such a trivial matter letting Feng Yi Xuan investigate will definitely bear results. But usually, his sixth son didnt intervene. He didnt know why he agreed so straightforwardly.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded then said, This is done by Yue countrys Yue Qian Ling! Feng Yi Xuan then returned to Lan You Nians side, leaving the rest of the investigation to Jing Wu An to resolve. He didnt want to waste any more breath on such a thing.
No! Yue Qian Ling quickly stood up to deny, but her anxious look was worthy of suspicion, You lie!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt spare Yue Qian Ling a nce, but Lan You Nian didnt like other people saying such about her man. Lan You Nian stood up to curtsy, her etiquette was proper and her nomittal attitude making people feelfortable.
What Princess Qian Ling says isnt proper. Ming wang is my Feng countrys wangye. Why would he need to lie for this small matter? Does Princess Qian Ling know what your ending is for ndering a wangye? Clearly, Lan You Nian wasnt raging nor was she angry, as usual gentle, but it made the people around faintly feel the change in the air. A cold current subtly winded around everyone.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian who was defending him, his heart incredibly sweet. A pair of eyes looked at Lan You Nian affectionately. His Nian Nian wore a light white and creamy brocade dress, on the hems and cuffs rolled with gold thread on the edges. The skirt surface was embroidered withrge red spider lilies, extremely pleasing to the eye. A pink belt wrapped around the waist, making the waist slim and shapely. Wha made Feng Yi Xuan like the most was the girls protective appearance of him.
And Princess Qian Ling didnt listen to the results of the investigation, why are you so flustered? Lan You Nian looked at Yue Qian Ling whos face became ugly her lips curving.
Chapter 158 - Betrayal of the Maid
158 Betrayal of the Maid
Where is this princess flustered? Miss Lan shouldnt nder people! Yue Qian Ling had some strife with Lan You Nian in the first ce. She couldnt stand to see Lan You Nian being more outstanding than her in every way. Seeing Lan You Nian interrogating her, she hated she couldnt take the long whip to hit Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian didnt answer Yue Qian Lings words. Instead, she returned to stand beside Feng Yi Xuan. Honestly, this mans gaze was too passionate! If she didnt return to his side, shes afraid he will directly rip Yue Qian Ling apart.
Your Majesty! Jing Wu An stood next by the apprehended man, This man is the one who ced the snakes in second princesss tent!
Once these words were out, many people guessed this poisonous snake event, even if it wasnt rted to Princess Qian Ling, Yue country cant shake off responsibility. Yue countrys delegates were even angrier looking at the apprehended man. They as delegates to Feng country were cautious with their words and actions, they didnt expect someone will drag them down. Yue countrys delegates hated they couldnt kill this man.
This person is Yue countrys apanying guard! Jing Wu An said leisurely, Coincidentally, this person is Princess Qian Lings exclusive guard!
With these words, what didnt the people understand? This matter was most likely done by Princess Qian Ling. Everyone has seen Princess Qian Lings temper, so there wasnt any doubt.
Princess Qian Ling, what do you have to exin? Emperor Feng Xuan hardened a face looking at Yue Qian Ling. No matter how favored Yue Qian Ling was in Yue country, she was now in Feng country, and Feng Yi Shuang was his daughter.
I...this princess... Yue Qian Ling suddenly ran over to the man and pped him, Talk! Who instigated you! Why frame this princess!
However, the apprehended man didnt say anything. If someone looked carefully, they would know it wasnt that the man didnt want to speak but rather he cant. He could only be detained by Feng countrys guards, unable to move or speak.
Princess Qian Ling is shirking responsibility? Jing Wu An dragged away Yue Qian Ling, frankly speaking, A small guard, also PRincess Qian Lings guard, without the masters orders, dares to put poisonous snakes to another countrys princess? Or does Princess Qian Ling think others are all fools?
Yue Qian Ling suddenly didnt know how to exin, but she knew she definitely didnt harm Feng Yi Shuang. She ced those poisonous snakes it was to harm Hua Mu Qing. How did those venomous snakes run over to Feng Yi Shuangs tent?
Princess Qian Ling, give zhen an exnation! Or perhaps this Emperor should have Yue countrys Emperor give zhen an exnation! Feng Xuan looked at Yue Qian Ling below who didnt show any remorse and was moved with desire to kill. An emperors heart was difficult to guess. An emperors authority didnt allow anything to defy.
Yue Qian Ling saw everyone using ming eyes to look at her, even those delegates from Yue, no one made a sound to help her. Yue Qian Ling shook her head, helplessly exining, It wasnt this princess. It really wasnt this princess!
Princess Qian Ling is still refusing to admit it? Jing Wu An towards this Yue Qian Ling who only knew to wail when she encountered trouble lost all patience, Princess Qian Ling really doesnt see the coffin doesnt cry ah, someone bring the prisoner up!
Then someone escorted a maid in....
Xiao Tao? Yue Qian Ling looked at the maidservant who was apprehended. This maidservants name was Xiao Tao; she was Yue Qian Lings personal maidservant. This was known by all the people in Yue country. This Xiao Tao maidservant was very favored by Yue Qian Ling. Thats whying to Feng country, Yue Qian Ling would bring Xiao Tao out.
Xiao Tao didnt fawn over Yue Qian Ling like usual. Instead, her eyes discreetly nced at Yue Bai Lian. When she saw Yue Bai Lian silently nod, Xiao Tao clenched her teeth, taking a gamble as she fell to her knees.
Who is this? asked Emperor Feng Xuan.
Answering Your Majesty, this ve Xiao Tao is Princess Yue Qian Lings personal maidservant! Xiao Taos voice was shaking.
Xiao Tao, tell us all you know! Jing Wu An said. Then he retreated back into the crowd. He didnt need to deal with what happens next. This Princess Qian Ling no matter how much she argues this time will have no way out, but....Jing Wu an nced at Yue Bai Lian who was standing there, feeling slightly confused.
The matter of noble countrys second princess being bitten by a poisonous snake, it is all done by Princess Qian Ling! Xiao Tao said firmly kowtowing on the ground. Once these words were uttered, everyone started to whisper amongst themselves. The voices all contained the disgust towards Yue Qian Lings malice.
What are you talking about? Yue Qian Ling whipped out the long whip she always carried with her, ready to kill Xiao Tao. She never expected the first to stand out to nder her wasnt someone else, but it was the maidservant who has followed her for many years.
Whack! Yue Bai Lian ruthlessly pped Yue Qian Ling. There werent any feelings for Yue Qian Ling only a deep disgust and a hidden hatred in her eyes.
You! Yue Qian Ling gaped incredulously at Yue Bai Lian. She didnt expect that Yue Bai Lian would p her in front of so many people during such an asion. None of Yue countrys delegates stood up for her.
p~! Yue Bai Lian continued to p Yue Qian Ling then said to Yue Qian Ling, In vain you are Yue countrys princess, youre actually so preposterous. Since Imperial Father isnt here, then as your imperial older sister, I should teach you a lesson!
Yue Qian Ling was just pped only because she hadnt had the chance to react. Now that she has, Yue Qian Ling was going to p Yue Bai Lian back, but she was held back by the delegates of Yue. Yue Qian Ling red at the delegates, Are you defying me!? Look at who this princess is!
This emperor thinks it is Princess Qian Ling you who wants to rebel! Emperor Feng Xuan denounced, You are now standing on zhensnds. What do you want to do! Has your Yue countrys imperial family not taught you any etiquette?
With the Emperors fury, everyone bowed their heads. To say nothing of Yue Qian Ling who was already scared she couldnt speak. Her imperial father, though hes been enraged in front of her, Yue Qian Ling has not felt the bearing of a ruler from her Imperial Father. But Feng Xuans imposing manner made people oppressive.
Zhen asks you, why hurt zhens daughter? Feng Xuan demanded. After all, if needed to punish Yue Qian Ling, it required a detailed reason. Between the countries, it was already eyeing each other with hostility. He didnt expect Yue Qian Ling to make Yue country to lose such a big face.
Yue Qian Ling was scared she couldnt speak. But Xiao Tao who was kneeling said, It is because noble countrys second princess has derided Princess Qian Ling. Princess Qian Ling hates in her heart so sent guards to put the poisonous snakes in noble countrys second princesss tent!
Yue Qian Ling knew she couldnt exin anything. Was she going to say the snakes were initially ced in Hua Mu Qings tent? Then there was more impossible to get away with it. Yue Qian Ling didnt understand why Xiao Tao would betray her. Why would she lie?
This Princess Qian Ling is too vicious! Indeed a womans heart is most poisonous ah! some of Feng countrys ministersmented.
This Princess Qian Lings guts are too big to dare to poison my countrys princess. They simply dont put our Feng country in their eyes! Some of Feng countrys military officers huffed angrily.
Yue country having such a princess is really unfortunate! The other countries delegates were taking joy from others misfortunes.
Your Majesty! The imperial physician came in behalf of the second princess and bowed in front of the Emperor, There are no worries for Second princesss life, but because the poison has been in too long, the body will be extremely weak in the future. It is necessary to rest and recuperate.
Hn! The Emperor nodded, Have the Imperial Hospital send some good things over to Shuanger to nourish her body. Take care of second princess!
Yue Qian Ling listened to the idle chatter of the people around her and suddenly fell to her knees. Yue Qian Ling forgot who she was. She forgot who she represented ining to Feng country. Yue Qian Lings kneeling made people look down on her, making Yue countrys people hated they couldnt kill Yue Qian Ling.
Someonee, send Princess Qian Ling back to the visitors pce. Shes not allowed to take one step out of her room! Emperor said to the guard. Then to Eunuch Lu, Give a written letter to Yue countrys Emperor, have him send people to take Princess Qian Ling back. My Feng country cant amodate this person!
Yue Qian Ling let the guards take her away, sighing in relief inside. As long as she didnt receive punishment, it was all good. But how could Yue Qian Ling know, this was her real nightmare. Feng Xuans letter given to her Imperial Father was losing Yue countrys Emperors face. Yue countrys Emperor will definitely bring Yue Qian Ling back, but Yue Qian Lingmitted such a mistake, he will definitely have to send some priceless treasures in exchange for Yue Qian Ling.
And Yue Qian Ling has made such a mistake, even if she returned to Yue country, weing her wasnt the Emperors scare, but Yue peoples contempt and disgust and the Emperors punishment!
Chapter 159 - I Really Like Her
159 I Really Like Her
Lan You Nian stood on the vast grasnd, gazing at the sky that was dotted with white clouds. The dazzling sunlight forced Lan You Nian to slightly squint her eyes, making her look indolent.
Autumn is almost over. Winter seems to being soon, Lan You Nian said to the person who came up behind her. Her tone was slightly mncholic. Its been about a year since she entered the capital.
Yeah, this years winter should be especially beautiful! Yue Bai Lian walked over to Lan You Nian. She has fantasized countless times of standing beside master like this. She has now fulfilled her own fantasy.
Is Yue Qian Lings matter taken care of? Lan You Nian tilted her head at Yue Bai Lian whoseportment was extremely beautiful. Yue Bai Lian and Yue Qian Ling had hatred between them. So when Lan You Nian wanted to teach Yue Qian Ling a lesson, she informed Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian didnt disappoint her and bribed over Yue Qian Lings personal maidservant.
Thank you master! Yue Bai Lian said gratefully. Ever since meeting master, her life has warmed up because of master. In the days after she returned to Yue country, all Yue Bai Lian could think about was the short-lived moments when she stood beside master and feel there is still something to hope for in this world.
Didnt I say not to call me master? You are now Yue countrys eldest princess. You need to be cautious! Lan You Nian advised. The higher one stands, the easier it was to fall down.
Yes, Nianer! Yue Bai Lian said. Then mincing her words, it took her a while to force out, Nianer, you really want to marry Ming wang? Based on her identity and standpoint, she shouldnt overstep by asking these questions, but Yue Bai Lian still wanted to know the answer.
Lan You Nian sat down on the soft grass, gesturing for Yue Bai Lian to sit down and then said, Hn, its true! It wasnt that Lan You Nian wasnt aware of Yue Bai Lians feelings. She thought once she knew of her female identity, as well as having returned to Yue country and some time to think about it, she should havee to terms with it. However, Lan You Nian realized Bai Lian seemed to really havee to terms with it but hasnt put it down. Lan You Nian felt a sliver of guilt towards such a brilliant woman.
Nianer likes Ming wang very much? Yue Bai Lian sat beside Lan You Nian. Like good friends, they sat under the same piece of heaven, on top the same piece of earth, chatting about what weighed on their minds. Yue Bai Lian liked this kind of atmosphere.
Lan You Nian recalled that since knowing Feng Yi Xuan, from her lending a helping hand on the first meeting, toter meeting in the darkness of night when she didnt recognize him, then to the pce banquet, she realized Feng Yi Xuan weaved a huge love snare using his pampering and gentleness and protection to surround her and make her ept this of her own free will.
Hn, like very, very much! Lan You Nians wless little face brimmed with a touch of a soft smile. A pair of bright, alluring obsidian eyes was crystal clear, containing within them a faint smile, making people aware that she sincerely liked Feng Yi Xuan.
In Yue Bai Lians memories, Lan You Nian looked indifferent as if a celestial maiden outside the mundane world, always making people feel intangible. But when Lan You Nian mentioned Feng Yi Xuan, she was like an ordinary girl with happiness and longing.
Then does Ming wang love you? Yue Bai Lian continued to ask. Though she cant be together with Lan You Nian, but simply as a subordinate and as a friend, she was concerned about Lan You Nian in spite of herself, hoping the Ming wang who made Lan You Nian different will treat Lan You Nian well.
Lan You Nian without any pause said, He loves me very much! The tone was full of unwavering belief.
Wangye, Yue countrys Princess Bai Lian requests an audience! An Yi came into Feng Yi Xuans tent saying to Feng Yi Xuan.
Eh? Feng Xia Qi who came over to find Feng Yi Xuan to y a game of chess uttered with surprise, Why is this Princess Bai Lian asking for you? Princess Bai Lian hase to our country for a marriage of alliance. Has this woman taken a liking to AXuan you?
Feng Yi Xuan shot Feng Xia Qi a re, coldly saying to An Yi, Wont see! Towards women beside Nina Nian, he didnt have any thoughts. He especially hated women getting anywhere near him, regardless of whether that girl was a princess.
But... An Yi under the frigid air of his master said, But that Princess Bai Lian said she came for Miss Lans poison!
Bring her in! Feng Yi Xuans cold voice was a little impatient. Only the heavens knew how often he sends letters to Gui Yi Zi just to ask if there was any way to dispel the poison on Nian Nians body. Gui Yi Zi has nearly gone mad from all the letters. Feng Yi Xuan also secretly sent a lot of people to search for a way, all of whom havee back empty-handed. Now that there was someone who knew of Nian Nians poison, no matter what, he wont let go of this chance.
AXuan! Feng Xia Qi was also a little rmed. None of them has ever talked about or mentioned Lan You Nians poison, but their worries have never stopped. What made them feel powerless is that they simply couldnt do anything.
Yue Bai Lian followed An Yi into Feng Yi Xuans tent. Yue Bai Lian looked at the lean stalwart figure that was like a sculpture standing erect in the tent. His angr face seemed to be carved with a knife, deep and dark eyes were like a starry sky, overflowing with radiance.
Todays Yue Bai Lian was carefully dressed. Avish rose-red pce dress, the cor of the chest was slightly open, a piece of translucent snow-white subtly came into view, absolutely irresistible. A palm-sized little face was peerlessly exquisite, especially that pair of eyes, big and spirited, the corner of the eyes was angled upwards, exuding endless charisma, the ripples overflooded ones heart.
Feng Xia Qis eyes shed upon seeing Yue Bai Lian who was dressed differently than usual. He didnt know what Yue Bai Lian wanted to do dressed like this, but Feng Xia Qi can sense Yue Bai Lian didnt have any affection for his younger brother. His eyes were keen, so he can tell Yue Bai Lian was ill at ease dressed like this. Feng Xia Qi didnt know why Yue Bai Lian was doing this.
Just like Feng Xia Qi thought, Yue Bai Lian felt very awkward. She has never dressed like this. Even back in Xiao Jin Pavilion, she has never dressed so lewdly. Beforeing in, she even tugged at her cor. Yue Bai Lian looked at Feng Yi Xuan and saw Feng Yi Xuan wasnt captivated by her beauty. What made Yue Bai Lian satisfied is that from beginning to end Feng Yi Xuan didnt look straight at her to check her out. When she came over, he just gave her a nce. His eyes didnt have any reverence or any other reaction. It seems this Ming wang has passed the beauty trap.
Yue Bai Lian in Feng Yi Xuans eyes was no different than a big white cabbage. Or that is to say in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, any other woman besides Lan You Nian were all big white cabbages. So Feng Yi Xuan towards what Yue Bai Lian was wearing or what she looked like didnt care at all.
If Yue Bai Lian knew that after she had carefully dressed herself and even deliberately pretended in such a manner, in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, she was just a big white cabbage, reckon Yue Bai Lian will probably vomit blood.
Talk! Feng Yi Xuans voice was like a block of thousand-year-old ice as he spoke to Yue Bai Lian.
Yue Bai Lians heart constricted. Ming wang was indeed worthy of being Ming wang. Just his imposing manner gave people the feeling of having their necks crushed. Yue Bai Lian regted her breathing, beaming radiantly, Nianers poison is difficult to cure but right now, I know there is one antidote that is needed. That antidote is Heavenly Spirit Fruit!
Heavenly Spirit Fruit? Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi thought deeply. As Feng countrys wangye, they were aware of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit belonged to Yue countrys imperial family. It was held in the custody of the emperor himself. This Heavenly Spirit Fruit was a sacred medicine for curing poisons. That is why its so important. After all, in the imperial family, who can promise there wont be some unforeseen disaster?
Feng Yi Xuan wasnt afraid that Yue Bai Lian was lying. Whether it was stealing or forcefully taking it, he must have the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. Nian Nians poison cant wait. Though Feng Yi Xuan knew Heavenly Spirit Fruit was probably one amongst many of the antidotes, he wouldnt give up.
Feng Xia Qis gaze was sharp looking at Yue Bai Lian, Im afraid Princess Bai Lian hasnt finished your words. Feng Xia Qi was surprised how Yue Bai Lian knew of Lan You Nian being poisoned. From Yue Bai Lians address of Lan You Nian, it is telling that her rtionship with Lan You Nian wasnt bad.
Only now did Yue Bai Lian look at Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi wore a moonlight white robe with a misty gray outer robe over it. His raven ck hair was pulled up and fixed by a cor to the top of his head. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, straight nose and upturned lips, tall and straight form, just the appearance was a little thin and weak, just like a real-life handsome schr. Who would have thought this was Feng countrys fourth wangye who was most likely to ascend that high ce.
Yes! Yue Bai Lian nodded, Heavenly Spirit Fruit is in this princesss hand!
Give it! Feng Yi Xuan demanded. His entire person filled with a dark aura like an Asura. He didnt care that his actions were against what men should do. In Feng Yi Xuans perception, if he needed it, hell just take it.
Feng Yi Xuans words just finished, An Yi and An Er standing in the tent prepared toe forward to control Yue Bai Lian. They knew how much importance their master ced on Miss Lan. For the poison in Miss Lans body, they dont know how many times master was irritable about it.
Since Heavenly Spirit Fruit is in this princesss hand, this princess can destroy it! In this world, if you want to find another Heavenly Spirit Fruit, it would be difficult! Yue Bai Lian looked at An Yi and An Er and hurriedly pushed out her words. She didnt expect Ming wang would directly attack.
Condition! Say it! Feng Yi Xuan let An Yi and An Er retreat. Though he said this to Yue Bai Lian, those eyes filled with killing intent.
Yue Bai Lian seemed to not see the killing intent in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, continued to say, This princess came to Feng country for a marriage alliance. This princess hopes Ming wang can marry this princess!
You are looking for death! Feng Yi Xuans viciously cold voice was mixed with infinite frost, the tyrannical and harsh manner became transparent, like a riled male lion, a murderous and bloodthirsty aura spread and blended into every particle of air.
In Feng Yi Xuans heart, his wangfei can only be Lan You Nian. No one was allowed to destroy the feelings between them. No one can step a foot between them!
AXuan! Feng Xia Qi saw his younger brother in an enraged fury. He knew Feng Yi Xuan will directly kill Yue Bai Lian. Its fine to kill Yue Bai Lian, but if they didnt get their hands on Heavenly Spirit Fruit, things would be difficult, Calm down!
Yue Bai Lian was also frightened by Feng Yi Xuans rage, but Yue Bai Lian still summoned her courage to say, This princess doesnt require the position of wangfei. The position of wangfei can be given to Nianer. This way, wangye can have the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, without wronging Nianer!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer, but the intention of rejection was obvious!
Why doesnt Ming wang agree to this kind of beneficial and harmless thing? Yue Bai Lian asked, Doesnt Ming wang love Nianer? Are you unwilling to do this for Nianer? If this princess destroyed the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, will Ming wang have any regrets?
Feng Yi Xuans eyes withpressed cold light swept over Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian shuddered, her entire body seemed to be standing in cold air. That sharp cold wind was like a sharp de, brutally digging into every inch of skin on her body.
Benwang said in this life, there will only be one woman, Nian Nian. Whether it is in name or in truth! Benwang wont let Nian Nian suffer a sliver of grievance! Feng Yi Xuans voice carried an indestructible firmness and immovable determination!
Chapter 160 - Injured He Chu Yang
160 Injured He Chu Yang
Then Ming wang really doesnt want the Heavenly Spirit Fruit? What if something happens to Nianer? Yue Bai Lian asked but her tone was much better.
If benwang wants it, then I will get it! If something happens to Nian Nian, whether its in heaven or hell, benwang will follow! Feng Yi Xuans voice rose, containing an inexpressible coldness and brutality.
Yue Bai Lian regarded him for a moment then retrieved the box in her and ced it on the table, saying, This is the Heavenly Spirit Fruit! After saying this, she pulled up the cor, seeming to be morefortable like this.
Feng Xia Qi shot Yue Bai Lian a look of surprise. He didnt understand why Yue Bai Lian would do this.
This princess can tell Nianer like Ming wang very much. I had my doubts about what was so great about Ming wang that it can make Nianer like you. Now this princess understands.... Yue Bai Lian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, If Ming wang had agreed to this princesss request then Ming wang isnt worthy of having Nianer. The love Nianer needs must be clean. I have to say Ming wang is most worthy of Nianer!
There wasnt any expression on Feng Yi Xuans face. Even though Yue Bai Lian was praising him, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel anything. But in regards to Yue Bai Lian saying he and Nian Nian was perfectly matched, Feng Yi Xuan felt delightfully pleased.
Princess Bai Lian why are you doing this? Feng Xia Qi asked,
Because I like Nianer! A smile graced Yue Bai Lians lips, as if not afraid of others weird looks, So Ming wang please treat Nianer well, otherwise even if this princess ends up losing my life, this princess will make you pay the price!
Yue Bai Lian then strode with dignified steps out of the tent, as if she was still that untouchable princess, as if the grief that shed by didnt exist at all.
Feng Yi Xuan opened the box and saw that indeed there was the Heavenly Spirit Fruit that couldnt be bought with a thousand gold. His heart was reassured.
Feng Xia Qi was shocked by Yue Bai Lians words. Though he epted Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lis love, he didnt expect Lan You Nian to be popr with both male and female. Yue Bai Lian was very admirable. Yue Bai Lians feelings was very chaste, making people unable to scorn.
Treat Nianer meimei well! Feng Xia Qi pped Feng Yi Xuans shoulder. That Lan You Nian who was loved by many chose his younger brother, he gave his blessings and also hoped Feng Yi Xuan would cherish it.
Hn! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. There was no need for others to remind him, he knew how wonderful Nian Nian was. He will exhaust all avenues to love Nian Nian.
CCCCCC
Having stayed at the hunting grounds for five days, many of the officials brought their sons and daughters back to the manor. Lan You Nian was no exception....
Young miss! An yiniang was taken by Ming wangfus people! Zhang Lin stood outside You Nian Pavilion saying. He regarded Lan You Nian as the master whom he felt heartfelt admiration for. Zhang Lin led the previous more than ten more and managed You Nian Pavilion very well. Sometimes Lan You Nian will let them do some other things, not burying a mans lofty aspiration.
I know. Return to your post! Lan You Nian said. After Zhang Lin left, Lan You Nian got ready to leave the pavilion tower.
Young miss? Lan Qu looked at Lan You Nian with bewilderment. She naturally heard what Zhang Lin said. However, Lan Qu didnt have any sympathy for An yiniang. In Lan Qus heart, she hoped Ming wang will mercilessly torture An yiniang.
Im only going to take a look. Rx, I wont be soft-hearted! Lan You Nian was at the mercy of Lan Qu who enfolded her in a cloak then she used qinggong to leave You Nian Pavilion. Just like Lan You Nian said herself, she didnt care at all about whether An yiniang lived or died. However since this matter was carried out by Feng Yi Xuan, she wanted to see what he wanted to do.
Lan You Nian didnt enter Ming wangfu from the front gates. Though all of the capital knew she was Feng Yi Xuans fiancee, the future Ming wangfei, Lan You Nian preferred to fly into Ming wangfu from the wall. From the beginning when the shadow guards were shocked to the present that Lan You Nian entered Ming wangfu just like she was entering her own residence, however, what was different was that those shadow guards, guards, and manservants respectful greeting.
Wheres Xuan? Lan You Nian just happened to see An San who was currently handling affairs, asking frankly.
An San seeing Lan You Nian was stirred with emotion. She already considered Lan You Nian their wangfei. An San also liked Lan You Nians personality.
Wangye went to the hidden prison. Does Miss Lan want to see wangye? An San asked. She knew what wangye was doing in the secret prison. An yiniang was seized by her. An San was worried that wangfei will be frightened of wangye after what was going on inside.
Despite knowing very well Lan You Nians disposition and martial arts, it was also telling that Lan You Nian can be extremely cruel and merciless, but no matter how powerful Lan You Nian presented her as, in everyones eyes, she was still a delicate girl, especially a girl who just turned 14.
Ill take a look! You do your thing! Lan You Nian headed towards the secret prison. Many of the ces in Ming wangfu was showed to Lan You Nian by Feng Yi Xuan. For instance, this secret prison that wasnt known by outsiders was also told to Lan You Nian by Feng Yi Xuan. In Feng Yi Xuans heart, there was nothing that needed to be concealed. As long as Nian Nian wanted to know, he will tell her all.
The secret prison was underneath Ming wangfu. It was an underground prison. At the entrance, there were guards patrolling as well as many hidden guards in the shadows. As Lan You Nian approached the secret prison, there was a fluctuation in the air that indicated the hidden guards vignce. When they saw who the intruder was, everyone calmed down. In Ming wangfu or in Ghost Realm, everyone was aware of how much master pampered this Miss Lan. Master has already instructed that seeing Miss Lan was like seeing master. One can imagine what position Miss Lan had in masters heart.
Miss Lan! A guard came over to Lan You Nian and greeted her respectfully then led Lan You Nian into the secret prison.
Upon entering the secret prison, Lan You Nian sensed a burst of gloomy mixed with bloodthirsty air flooding her nostrils. Lan you Nian didnt like this smell. However, she was also someone who climbed out from those darkness so there wasnt any difort.
The inside of the secret prison was gloomy and damp. In the candlelight, there was a hint of decay. The mottled traces on the wall seemed to be a warning to people. On the walls of the secret prison, disyed on the iron shelves: scimitar, chain, knife, dagger, whip. All torture devices that one expects to find were all there. In the dim candlelight, there was a hint of strangeness and chill.
Lan You Nian walked into one of the prisons and saw Feng Yi xuan. Meanwhile An yiniang who was sprawled on the ground was ignored by Lan You Nian.
Nian Nian? Feng Yi xuan immediately came to Lan You Nians side, picking up Lan You Nian from the icy cold prison cement floor. He saw the girls pure white embroidered shoes were soiled with dust as well as damp traces of blood. Feng Yi xuan felt an ache in his heart.
Lan You Nian was being held by Feng Yi Xuan in his arms like a child. She sat on his sturdy and long arm. Only now did Lan You Nian have time to look at An yiniang who was sprawled on the ground. An yiniang could no longer be called a human being. Her eyes were dug out by something, only leaving behind two bloody holes, looking a little repugnant. Her ears were also hacked off. Lan You Nian knew the pair of ears were hacked off by An Yi who was holding a dagger. Her tongue was also yanked out. An yiniang looked like a disgusting animal.
Dont look! Feng Yi xuan forced LAn You Nian to shift her gaze. Though he knows in some aspects that Nian Nian wasnt afraid of these, he didnt care his cruelty was known by Nian Nian, but Feng Yi Xuan hoped what Nian Nian saw was all beautiful scenery and felt only warmth. These dirty unseemly things just let him see and do it.
Feng Yi xuan shot An Yi a look. An Yi nodded understanding. His familys masters meaning was to mercilessly torture An yiniang. It was this woman who cruelly hurt Ming wangfei in the past. She also made wangfei suffer such toxic poisons. Master hated he couldnt drag An yiniang into hell to torment every day.
Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian to quickly leave the secret dungeon. The air in the secret dungeon was damp and cold. Feng Yi xuan was afraid LAn You Nian was in any difort. After they stepped out of the hidden dungeons, he slightly loosened his arms around Lan You Nian, uneasily asking, Nian Nian, I...
Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nian wasnt a little woman. She had her own thoughts and her own resolve. A lot of times, Feng Yi xuan was willing to indulge Nian Nian and not interfere with her. But concerning An yiniang, he really couldnt tolerate it. Just thinking about Nian Nian suffering so much when she was little, he wanted tomit murder and had bloodthirsty impulse. So Feng Yi Xuan must torture An yiniang!
Lan You Nian embraced Feng Yi Xuan, smiling, Xuan, I understand! Lan You Nian understood Feng Yi Xuans good to her. Her heart ached for Feng Yi xuans care for her. It seems as long it concerned her matters, Feng Yi Xuan was always mindful of personal gains and losses. She hasnt done good enough.
Feng Yi Xuan hearing LAn You Nians words, happily kissed Lan You Nians forehead. In the shadows, the hidden guards and imperial guards lowered their heads very low. Honestly their masters current appearance, how can it be considered brilliant and mighty ah? It waspletely the look of a henpecked husband.
Lan You Nian saw so many people curiously looked at Feng yi xuan who kissed her forehead, and changed the topic, Go to the pce together? Profound phoenix eyes fluttered lightly, a pure starlight shed within her eyes, extremely animated and cute, a little girls bashful and gentleness taken in on first nce.
Feng Yi Xuan knew the girl was shy but didnt expose her. Slightly nodding his head, the two left Ming wangfu together. When the two left Ming wangfu, instantly the pot boiled over, achieving a noise level that has never been breached. All of them were debating how henpecked their master would be in the future.
There wasnt a pce feast held tonight. Instead, the foreign dignitaries wereparing artistic talents and martial skills. Nearly all the court officials, their children and family members showed up. Those who could attend all attended. If they honored with a title, then they will rise above the others. Those who couldnt participate of course regarded this as some entertainment. Such a spectacle was rare to see. It can only be seen every time the exchange meeting between each country was held.
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan you Nian arrived at the ce where thepetition was held, the artistic talentpetition has already ended. Perhaps due to the twos bearing, when Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nians hand to thepetition, everyones eyes couldnt help but notice the two of them.
Hua Xiu Yi noticed Lan You Nian the moment she came. Hua Xiu Yi gazed at Lan You Nian from a distance. A slight breeze caressed the exquisite face. A few strands of silky ck hair danced with the wind in the air, brushing over the delicate skin, shrouding a section of the exquisite face. The white one-peice dress danced with the wind, so wlessly pure that just standing there made people have the illusion of being in thend of the immortals.
Really not willing to give up ah! Hua Xiu Yi chuckled to himself as he looked at Lan You Nian.
Perhaps due to Lan You Nian, the air around Feng Yi Xuan was much warmer. Feng Yi Xuan wore a navy blue full body robe, embroidered with golden thread coiling dragon patterns on the sleeves. A jade cor tied up his hair, sword eyebrows and bright eyes, the gaze was deep and forbidding, thin lips slightly pursed,pletely natural domineering that made people keep a wide berth. At this nce, everyone noticed that Ming wangs looks was so handsome, probably the most good looking man in Feng country.
Compared with Hua countrys Crown Prince, he wasnt found anycking. Some women who once feared Feng Yi Xuan after a more detailed look, their cheeks reddened.
Feng Yi Xuan pulled Feng Yi Xuan to the seat belonging to Ming wangfu. The Emperor didnt attend todayspetition. The one to preside over the proceedings was fourth wangye Feng Xia Qi.
At this time, the one on stagepeting was He Chu Yang and Yue countrys military officer. Speaking of which, He Chu Yangs martial arts wasnt particrly high but amongst the officials or amongst the young masters, it was pretty decent.
He Chu Yang had the upper hand. Just as He Chu Yang was about to obtain victory, that Yue countrys military officer used poison, scattering the poison in his hand into the air. He Chu Yang caught unprepared sucked it in. His whole body staggered a step. Because they were not allowed to use weapons, so that military officer exploited the victory and pursued with a fist at He Chu Yang. He Chu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was angered by this military officers shamelessness. Lan Mo xian suddenly stood up to step on stage, he was stopped by Lan You Nian.
Little sisteR? Lan Mo Xian wondered in confusion. Looking at the injured He Chu Yang on stage, Lan Mo Xian was worried. The two werent only rtives but also friends. Seeing his good friend being hurt by such means on stage, Lan Mo Xian hated he couldnt go up immediately to teach that Yue countrys military officer a lesson!
Dont act rashly! Lan You Nian said then continued to watch. Lan Mo Xian knew his little sister was usually someone with her own ideas so he sat back down.
Feng Xia Qi who was presiding over thispetition frowned but didnt interfere. In this martialpetition, it was clearly stated that no weapons were allowed but didnt say that poison wasnt allowed. Feng Xia Qi knew even if he took action, there was nothing he could do. So Feng Xia Qi shot He Chu Yang a look, telling him he could just admit defeat at the right time and depart from the stage. Feng countrys face, though important, but in Feng Xia Qis eyes, friends were more important.
Although the smile on Lan You Nians lips hasnt changed its angle, but Feng Yi Xuan who sat closest to her knew Nian Nian was angry. Feng Yi Xuan raised his hand to kill that man on stage. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes there wasnt right or wrong. Making Nian Nian unhappy was wrong, simple as that.
Xuan! Lan You Nian shook her head then smiled, I will vent my anger myself!
Feng Yi Xuan considered it. Though he was reluctant to let Nian Nian tire herself, Feng Yi Xuan knew if Nian Nian didnt vent her anger herself, then she would be in a bad mood. So feng Yi xuan nodded, retracting his hand. Then he looked at that Yue countrys military officer on stage as if looking at a dead person. The man on stage suddenly shuddered with a cold chill.
He Chu Yang has already been beaten up with a bloody nose and swollen face yet he wasnt willing to admit defeat. Lan You Nian couldnt watch it anymore. She shot Feng Xia Qi a look. Feng Xia Qi after receiving it directly admitted defeat on He Chu Yangs behalf. He Chu Yang looked at Feng Xia Qi with fury as he was carried down the stage. However Feng Xia Qi only threw up his hands then pointed at Lan You Nian.
He Chu Yang saw it was his cousin sister who had fourth wangye do this. He couldnt say any harsh words but his mood was very down. Meanwhile, Tutor He and He Chu Yangs father He Chun didnt feel that they lost face. They were grateful for what Lan You Nian did. Lost face can be earned back but if the person had any idents, there werent any more chances.
Brother Chu Yang, to act impulsively is the most asinine. Youre already poisoned. If you dont step down to cure the poison, are you certain you wont lose all your martial arts? Lan You Nian gave He Chu Yang a few pills and had the guards help him take the medicine.
He Chu Yang hung his head, embarrassedly said to Lan You Nian, Sorry Nianer meimei. Cousin brother was just angry in the moment. You are right! He Chu Yang wasnt stupid nor did he not know whats good for him. Of course he knew what were Lan You Nians intentions. He didnt think clearly in his rage. Now he was thinking clearly, he was no longer angry.
Alright, Nianer will avenge you in a moment! Lan You Nian shot Feng Yi Xuan a reassuring look then stepped onto the tform.
Heavens! Look! Everyone was astonished as they watched Lan You Nian head up the stage. They couldnt imagine what Lan You Nian wanted to do. There were many more people who wondered if Lan You Nian was stupid. This wasnt a ce to y the zither and dance.
Chapter 161 - Domineering Lan You Nian
161 Domineering Lan You Nian
What does this youngdy wants to do? Yue countrys military officer asked Lan You Nian. Currently, Lan You Nian had the title of Ming wangfei. Ming wangs name was acimed. This military officer can discern Ming wangs value of the little Ming wangfei who hasnte of age yet so he didnt dare lightly offend.
I already stepped on stage. What do you think I want to do? Lan You Nianughed in reply.
At this, people were rmed. Many of them werent aware that Lan You Nian knew martial arts. Besides even if Lan You Nian knew martial arts, how can itpare to a mans? Everyone carefully looked at Lan You Nian who was on stage, as if they wanted to make certain they werent hallucinating.
However, on stage the girls raven ck eyes gleamed with brilliance, soul-stirring. The spirited fleeting gaze transmitted a seductive and shrewd luster. Her whole person was pure like the lotus that emerged from the water. But that smile that didnt reach the eyes seemed like it kept people at arms length, professing a bit of cold beauty and nobility. Treading slowly, the clothes fluttered with movement, a brilliance shrouded her, the radiance blinding, making people couldnt help fall deep down into its trap.
Is Miss Lan ying a joke? the man tossed an ugly expression at Lan you Nian. In the mans opinion, Lan You Nian relies on Ming wangs pampering to make trouble out of nothing.
Lan You Nian chuckled, then looked at the man in front of her, Do I look like Im ying a joke? Or do you not dare topete?
The man was angered by Lan You Nians words that he wanted to curse someone but looking at Ming wang who was ring fiercely like a tiger as if he wanted to chomp on him, the man didnt dare to curse in front of the girl. The man could only look at the host Feng Xia Qi, Feng countrys fourth wangye, shouldnt you take charge of this? This one isnt someone who has a tender heart for the fairer sex. If I hurt your noble countrys future Ming wangfei, that wouldnt be good!
Feng Xia Qi looked at the man on stage with sympathy. The one to be injured in the end definitely wouldnt be LAn You Nian. How can this man be so stupid? Feng Yi Xuan wont admit that he wanted to see a joke.
Since Nianer meimei stands on stage, then she wants to have a match with you. Is this young master afraid? Feng Xia Qi used Lan You Nians words to continue to make fun of the man.
The man was truly enraged. He saw Feng countrys people actually allowed a woman toe up to y such a joke. The man felt that since Lan You Nian stepped onto this stage herself, then even if he attacked and hurt the girl, what could they do!
Grandfather, Nianer meimei she... He Chu Yang looked worriedly at the stage. Seeing such a protective cousin sister, he felt joy inside. This was the ties of blood, this was family. This was his He Chu Yangs little sister.
Hmph! Tutor He red at his grandson, Isnt because of you brat disappoints expectations? Now my granddaughter live up to grandfathers expectations. You pay attention, save from humiliation in the future! Though Tutor He didnt seem worried on the surface but his eyes kept flicking at the stage, afraid someone would hurt Lan You Nian.
The match on stage has already begun but Lan You Nian didnt make a move. That man didnt have the face to make the first move with so many eyes watching. Neither of them moved. However Lan You Nian used extremely deep and serene eyes to prate the man on the opposite end of her. Below the stage, Feng Yi Xuan used a piercing gaze on the man. The man didnt attack before he turned pale and drenched with cold sweat by these two peoples gazes. The crowd watching this was bewildered. They didnt understand how it became like this without any fighting.
The man could no longer stand it under the twos line of sight. He shot forward, charging at Lan You Nian, throwing a punch at Lan You Nian. If this punchnded on Lan You Nian, there was more than enough for her to suffer!
Some timid girls already squeezed their eyes shut in fear. Many young masters gaped with wide eyes, staring without blinking. Below stage, both of Feng Yi Xuans hands were tightly clenched. Even though he knew these little tricks couldnt hurt Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuans entire body was tensed to rush up any time.
Just as everyone held their breaths, no one expected Lan You Nian easily dodged! She shifted aside, single-handedly caught the mans punch. Following everyones gasps, Lan You Nian nimbly lifted her leg, a kicknding hard on the mans knee bone. Just with a crack the mans bone was shattered!
The man roared from the sudden pain but Lan You Nian didnt let go. Immediately following, Lan You Nians hand that clenched the mans wrist twisted, another bone-breaking sound echoed, followed by the mans miserable wail. His knee bone and wrist were both incapacitated!
When people heard the crunch of the bones, they were staggered. They looked at Lan You Nians whose expression didnt change, suddenly realizing, the girl they thought they knew didnt just simply know to y the zither andpose songs. Instead, she was the Ming wangfei able to stand side by side with Ming wang to manipte a persons life and death.
The man vehemently wanted to use poison again. The hand that hasnt been fractured swung in front of Lan You Nian, a misty poison descended upon LAn You Nian.
Careful! Everyone couldnt help gasp, afraid Lan You Nian will be poisoned like He Chu Yang. However with a swing of her sleeve, she swept the poison back to the man himself. Lan You Nian let go of the man, seeing the man being infected by his own poison, a sneer curled on her lips. ying poison with her was simplyughable. Lets not talk about her body which ordinary poisons cant harm her, just based on her identity as Medical Valleys direct disciple, she wouldnt easily be poisoned. It was basically showing off before the expert.
Lan You Nian was going to continue when the man lying on the ground shouted, I yield! I yield! For the man, this was truly humiliating. He couldnt even win against a girl. He also had his knee and wrist incapacitated. The man was afraid to die. He sensed this girls killing intent towards him.
Just as the mans voice died away, Feng Yi Xuan flew up the tform, dragged Lan You Nian into his arms and returned to his seat. Taking the handkerchief handed over by An Yi, Feng Yi Xuan attentively wiped Lan You Nians hand that touched the other man.
Xuan? Lan You Nian couldnt help uttering as she looked at her hand that was being wiped over and over.
Feng Yi Xuan again wiped two more times before destroying the handkerchief. Then holding Lan You Nians little hand, he said with a straight face, That person is too dirty! Not only due to his mysophobia but also because he was extremely possessive, he cant bear to see Nian Nian toy a finger on other men.
Oh! Lan You Nian nodded. In fact she didnt want to touch the other person either but it was inevitable that there would be some contact during the fight. She will pay more attention in the future or who knows what this petty man would do.
This is too satisfying! He Chu Yang looked at the man who was carried off the tform. The anger that was stifled finally dispersed. Its true that he was injured but that man wasnt as simple as being injured. He has been crippled. Indeed, it was great to have a little sister!
Tutor He shot his grandson a eye-dagger, Are you not embarrassed!? Havent you stayed in the military camps for a while? You cant evenpare to your little sister! Learn from Nianer understand? Tutor He instructed. In Tutor Hes eyes, his granddaughter was great everywhere. If other girls were like this, who knew what Tutor He will say.
I know grandfather! He Chu Yang didnt get angry. He knew his cousin sister was indeed much stronger than him. Though as the older brother, he felt helpless, but at the same time, he was filled with pride.
Mo Xian, and you said this junzhu is violent. Look at Nianer meimei! Hua Mu Qing pped Lan Mo Xians arm then turned her bright eyes on Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei is indeed Nianer meimei. No one canpare!
Lan Mo Xian looked at Hua Mu Qing who was rambling on, his lips curled with a smile. His two most important women were both by his side. So wonderful! He must protect his little sister and love and protect his own woman.
Princess! Yue countrys official came over to Yue Bai Lian, saying with fury, This Feng countrys Miss Lan is too arrogant!
Yue Bai Lian coldly nced at the official who spoke, Arrogant? Who let him use poison? Do you disdain that we havent lost enough face? This princess wasnt aware that you people have such skill, to be able to employ such lowly measures!
With Yue Bai Lians words, Yue countrys officials hung their heads and didnt utter another word. In this matter they already felt they lost face. Princess Qian Ling was also under house arrest. The one to take charge was only left with Princess Bai Lian. No one dared to go against her.
Yue Bai Lian after scolding the officials, looked at Lan You Nian who was sitting there, her eyes filled with worship and warmth. Just like this following behind her to protect her, for her, she was already very happy. She cant be too greedy. Ming wang truly loved master. This was good, this was very good already!
Meanwhile Hua Xiu Yi was heavily interested as he looked at Lan You Nian who was sitting there like an immortal. Who would have imagined that she just moments ago without batting an eysh crippled a mans knee and wrists. Her measure was merciless and didnt lose to a man. Hua Xiu Yi from the start knew Lan You Nian wasnt someone to be trifled with. However, it seems to Hua Xiu Yi the more he looked, the more he felt this was suited his taste? He really wanted to bring that girl back ah! Then life wouldnt be so boring.
Towards peoples nearly indiscernible scrutiny of his Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan felt displeased. Lan You Nian didnt like to be spectated like a monkey. So the two left the imperial pce. Fortunately, Feng Yi Xuans identity was there so no one dared to say anything.
Lan You Nian was going to return to Lan manor but Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian back to Ming wangfu. The carriage entered Ming wangfu directly. Lan You Nian looked at the enormous Ming wangfu that seemed especially cheerless just like the man sitting beside her.
Bringing Lan You Nian to his room, Feng Yi Xuan took out a box and handed it over to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian didnt expect this and didnt know what was inside so she opened it. The moment she saw the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Lan You Nian was pleasantly surprised. She thought Yue Bai Lian didnt get the Heavenly Spirit Fruit so she didnt mention it to her. Lan You Nian didnt have any other ideas and wanted to go to Yue country herself to steal it. She didnt expect the Heavenly Spirit Fruit will end up in her hands.
Xuan, howe the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is in your hands? Lan You Nian asked cheerfully. In the past, though she wanted to cure the poison, but she didnt have any intense feelings but now that she had Xuan who loved her very much, as well as those family, and friends, Lan You Nian didnt want to leave at all.
Feng Yi Xuan humphed, Yue Bai Lian gave it to me! Evidently, he was bothered by the fact the thing wasnt taken by him. In Feng Yi Xuans heart, whatever Nian Nian wanted, he should take it or steal it, not let other people obtain her favor.
Eh? Lan You Nian was surprised. ording to Bai Lians temperament, she should bring it to her. Howe she gave it to Feng Yi Xuan? Feng Yi Xuans face looked unhappy. Has something happened?
Lan You Nian put down the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, asking, Xuan, what happened?
Concerning Lan You Nians inquiry, Feng Yi Xuan wont conceal at all so Feng Yi Xuan rted in full detail what happened the day Yue Bai Lian came to his tent, then with displeasure he said to Lan You Nian, She said she likes you!
Lan You Nian was surprised for a moment hearing this. She didnt expect Bai Lian to say this. Shes probably afraid Feng Yi Xuan wont treat her well so wanted to test Feng Yi Xuan. However, Lan You Nian towards Bai Lians protectiveness felt a hint of guilt and a loss at what to do.
Not allowed to think about her! Feng yi Xuan buckled Lan You Nians shoulders, overbearingly dered, Nor allowed to like her!
Okay, I only will like Xuan! Lan You Nian docilely answered. After all, to a man eating vinegar, no reason can be said, especially a man who particrly loves to eat vinegar.
If you want something, just tell me! Feng Yi Xuan was still upset by this. Nian Nian needed such precious things yet she didnt tell him nor did he do anything. For Feng Yi xuan, he felt extremely out of sorts.
Okay! Lan You Nian promised. At the time when she needed the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, she hasnt ascertained her feelings with Feng Yi Xuan. Later she felt there was no need to mention it. But seeing Feng Yi Xuans depressed look, Lan You Nian felt she needed to tell this man. She didnt want there to be any misunderstandings between them.
Obtaining Lan You Nians promise, Feng Yi Xuan was contented and his good mood was restored...
Chapter 162 - Lan Ya Reap What You Sow
162 Lan Ya Reap What You Sow
Night fell....
Crown Prince, there is a Miss Lan requesting an audience outside! the guard came to Hua Xiu Yis room to ask.
Limp as if boneless as Hua Xiu Yiid on the bed suddenly sat up. That pair of sinful eyes filled with delight, uncertainly asking, Miss Lan? Hua Xiu Yis first thought was wondering why Lan You Nian came to see him.
Let her in! Hua Xiu Yi said then continued toy down. He didnt want that crafty girl to think he wanted her toe. No matter what, he was a Crown Prince of a country, as well as a rejected crown prince.
When Lan Ya followed the guard into Hua Xiu Yis room, Lan Yas heart was jumping for joy. She no longer had her mother, Lan Manor, or An manors backing so Lan Ya felt she should make a gamble. She came to the visitors pce of the foreign dignitaries to ask to see Hua countrys crown prince. Lan Ya believed that with her good looks, she can definitely be the crown princes woman. In that case, she can follow Hua countrys crown prince back to Hua country. If she can please Hua countrys crown prince and be pregnant with his child, what wouldnt she have in the future?
As soon as Lan Ya stepped into the room, she saw Hua Xiu Yi who was lying on bed. Hua Xiu Yiid down on the massive carved bed, the cor of his top was slightly open revealing a pure white chest. The strands of hair on his forehead was scattered, ck as a raven. The moment LAn Ya came in, he lifted his head to look at her. Lan Ya realized he was born with excellent features, thick eyebrows, curved without smiling peach blossom eyes, a straight nose, upturned upper lip had the color of early springs cherry blossom pink. Just one look made Lan Yas cheeks flush.
Hua Xiu Yi thought the Miss Lan the guard spoke of was Lan You Nian. The moment Lan Ya stepped in, Hua Xiu Yis eyes shed with disappointment and disgust. The eyes that flooded with smiles returned to that ambiguous smile, but if one were to look carefully, they would notice that smile didnt have any warmth.
Lan Ya wore an emerald print, golden-threaded lotus flower with mandarin ducks in shadow stitch cloud brocade satin dress. The dress was threaded with gold
emerald patterns, golden thread, lotus flower, mandarin ducks, shadow stitch cloud brocade dress, embellished with round and plump pearls. A string of red pearl and jade ne hung over the chest. Twelve phoenix head hairpins were inserted side by side in her coils, the phoenix mouths held a pearl pendant. Her whole person seemed overly sumptuous. Lan Ya can sense the guard who led the way for her couldnt bear to tear his eyes away so Lan Ya knew for certain that she was extremely stunning today.
Crown Prince! Lan Ya deliberately made her voice soft and delicate. The two words spoken by her were subtle. Normal men couldnt stand such a delicate voice.
Hua Xiu Yi nced at Lan Ya who was all dressed up, the brazen gaze sized her up as if LAn Ya didnt wear any clothes. Lan Ya under Hua Xiu Yis gaze couldnt stand still but secretly felt proud knowing Hua Xiu Yi was moved by her beauty.
Hua Xiu Yi shot the guard a look. The guards body shuddered. Their Crown Princes temper was unpredictable. It seems he did something that disappointed the Crown Princes wishes. The guard knew what was waiting for him would be inhuman punishment.
Why has Miss Lane to find this Crown Prince? Hua Xiu Yi didnt get up, his tone indolent.
I...I... Lan Ya didnt know what to answer under Hua Xiu Yis gaze but she knew she didnt there wouldnt be many more opportunities for her. Not long after, Hua Xiu Yi will be returning to his countrnd. If she cant make this man take her, then she wont have any more chances.
Lan Ya under Hua Xiu Yis straightforward gaze, flushed her cheeks and couldnt force any words out. After all, she was still an unmarried girl. The skin of her face was thin, how can she say such shameless words? However Lan Ya wasnt willing to let this opportunity go.
Lan Ya sucked in a breath. Her face was red as an apple then she slowly pulled off the outer clothes on her body. She believed Hua Xiu Yi will understand her intention. She came to sleep with him and to offer up her body.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt utter a sound but neither did he reject as he simply looked at Lan Ya. Lan Ya was embarrassed and nervous then continued to pull of her clothes until Lan Ya waspletely naked standing in front of Hua Xiu Yi.
The development of Lan Yas body was very good. The skin was white making people have a nose-bleed. However from the start to end, Hua Xiu Yis expression didnt change. Lan Ya didnt know what Hua Xiu Yi intended, not stopping her from taking off her clothes nor did he take her. Lan Ya was so anxious she didnt know what to do.
hehe! Hua Xiu Yi slowly sat up on the bed. Even though it was any an ordinary action but being enacted by Hua Xiu Yi, there was an allure to it. Hua Xiu Yi was very frank as he looked up and down Lan Yas naked body saying, Do you know how many women are in this Crown Princes harem? Randomly drag out one and theyre all more beautiful than you!
Lan Ya was forced into tears by Hua Xiu Yis unfeeling words but this didnt move Hua Xiu Yi. Lan Ya slowly walked over to the bed, I know Crown Prince has a lot of women but Lan Ya doesnt ask for anything else. Lan Ya sincerely loves Crown Prince, please ask Crown Prince to fulfill Lan Yas infatuated heart!
Sincere heart? Hua Xiu Yi snorted. A sincere heart or whatever was the funniest joke in the world. How could the usual woman have a sincere heart? If there was, probably only a woman like Lan You Nian will have a sincere heart.
Yes, Lan Ya sincerely loves Crown Prince! LAn Ya climbed up Hua Xiu Yisrge bed, reaching out her hand to unfasten Hua Xiu Yis clothes but the moment Lan Ya touched Hua Xiu Yis clothes, her hand was grabbed by Hua Xiu Yi.
Lan Ya was even more shy thinking Hua Xiu Yi was moved by her. Thinking of what will happen, Lan Ya looked at Hua Xiu Yi with infatuation but at this moment Lan Ya was thrown off the bed by Hua Xiu Yi.
Crown Prince? Lan Ya didnt know what happened. She almost attained her target. How was she suddenly tossed down?
Someonee! Hua Xiu Yi shouted at the guards outside. Just as the voice fell, a few guards entered the room. Lan Ya looked at the guards who suddenly appeared, hastily climbed up to pick up her own clothes to put on. How can she put n her clothes in such a hurry? Instead, the more she dressed, the messier it became.
Crown Prince! The several guards knelt in greeting.
This woman is rewarded to you, have fun! Hua Xiu Yi didnt spare a nce to Lan Ya who was hurriedly putting on clothes and said to the guards.
The guards hearing this then looked at Lan Ya who was in the corner only partly covered and baring her skin. Their eyes shing with lust. Lan Ya didnt expect Hua Xiu Yi to say this, fearfully wanting to run but couldnt run away. She hastily kowtowed to Hua Xiu Yi on the bed, Crown Prince, I beg you no ah! Lan Ya will serve Crown Prince well!
But Hua Xiu Yi didnt change his mind due to Lan Yas weeping and begs for mercy. Even that warm smile was the exact smile but the words he spat out was, Since you love this crown prince so much, then how about you serve this crown princes subordinates, isnt that much better? This crown prince will remember your goodness!
Hua Xiu Yi waved his hand, the guards dragged Lan Ya out then despairing shrieks and begs for mercy rang in Hua Xiu Yis living quarters, as well a male filthy words, weaving into a strange sound in the darkness of night.
Hua Xiu Yi slept peacefully in such a sound as if such sounds pleased him, making him strangely happy.
Tonight for Lan Ya was more painful than death. She was dragged by many burly guards into the grass of the visitors pce then was wantonly humiliated by those men, forcefully taking her body. One man after another mounted her body. Her body was manhandled with many wounds. She was carelessly yed with like a lowly prostitute. One after another, one after another...
More and more humiliation made the hatred in Lan Yas heart more intense. She didnt hate Hua Xiu Yi the most. She hated Lan You Nian the most. If it wasnt Lan You Nian, how can she lose her identity as Lan manors eldest miss? If it wasnt Lan You Nian, how could she be held in disdain by grandfathers family? If it wasnt Lan You Nian, how could mother, older brother, and little sister die? If it wasnt Lan You Nian, why would shee to provoke Hua Xiu Yi and end up like this?!
Lan Yaid in the cutting and prickling grass. The originally pretty face was stained with tears but that pair of eyes emitted a bright light that was horrifying as poison.
The weather was gradually turning cold. Winter was almost here. Several guests came to You Nian PAvilions courtyard. Those were Feng Xia Qi, Jing Wu An, and Yu Liu Li. As for Feng Yi Xuan, he has already considered this ce to be his own prince for a long while or that is to say Feng Yi Xuan had already thought about when he can marry into Lan manor when Lan You Nian said she wouldnt marry.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian were currently eating breakfast. The other three since they came ate breakfast together in You Nian PAvilion.
What happened? Lan You Nian asked. After all, the for them to be so impatient toe at the break of dawn to You Nian Pavilion, it wasntmon to see. Lan You Nian was aware that situation in the pce was the most grim at this time so it was inevitable that something would happen.
Feng Guan Lian is very strange recently. It seems she has collusions with some of Yue countrys officials! Feng Xia Qi ranted. He can tolerate everyone fighting over that spot but couldnt tolerate them selling out their own countrynd, and this person wasnt even a prince but a princess.
Feng Guan Lian? Lan You Nian uttered with surprise. She always thought Feng Guan Lian this person wasnt simple. It can be seen from the cute and pure pretense on the surface that obtained the fondness of so many people, despite not being eye-catching in the pce, but upon careful consideration, she was the one person to live most smoothly in the pce, it shows that her own means wasnt low. However Lan You Nian didnt expect Feng Guan Lian to collude with the officials of the other countries.
How did you discover this? Feng Yi Xuan asked.
My people noticed Feng Guan Lian was sneaking around recently. At first I didnt take it to heart but thinking recently the dignitaries of other countries are all in the capital so I sent people to keep an eye on Feng Guan Lian. I didnt expect Feng Guan Lian to go to the visitors pce at night. Not only did she go see those Yue countrys officials, she even stayed a night beforeing back! Feng Xia Qi frowned. He didnt want something to happen at this crucial point.
It seems Yue country is ready to make a move ah! Jing Wu An sipped on the tea Lan You Nian brewed, saying solemnly.
We dont know anything right now. Xuan, how about we go take a look tonight? Lan You Nian said with some excitement.
Okay! Feng Yi Xuan nodded.
Chapter 163 - Duplicitous Feng Guan Lian
163 Duplicitous Feng Guan Lian
When night fell, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian after dinner rushed over to the visitors pce.
Because theyre going to snoop around, Lan You Nian for the first time ever changed into a ck cross cor long dress, matched with a goose yellow short jacket. Her waist was tied with a rambler rose pink girdle embroidered with daffodils, glorious and poised, dainty yet notcking in gracefulness, dazzling ones eyes. Feng Yi Xuan since knowing Lan You Nian has only seen Lan You Nian wear white. This was the first time he saw Lan You Nian wear clothing of another color. If white clothes made Lan You Nian exude the aura of a celestial fairy, then ck clothes made Lan You Nian full of mystery, simrly stunning in its beauty.
Feng Yi Xuan also changed his clothes in You Nian Pavilion. You Nian Pavilions wardrobe stored Feng Yi Xuans clothes. Fortunately the people in You Nian Pavilion were trustworthy people otherwise if other people knew that the two of them resided in the same room, even if nothing happened between them, Lan You Nian will be censured by others.
Lan You Nian aftering out from behind the windscreen saw Feng Yi Xuans eyes brighten. Feng Yi Xuans ink ck hair was tied up, a ck stealth outfit outlined Feng Yi Xuan lean muscr body. At the same time, it highlighted his white jade skin was crystal clear. His eyes without any concealment shed brilliantly, as if apletely different person, twopletely appearances from his usual indolent attitude he disyed in front of Lan You Nian. His entire person appeared as vigorous as a cheetah.
Nian Nian, let me prepare many more different clothes for you okay? Feng Yi Xuan tugged Lan You Nian over to him, caressing Lan You Nians cheeks.
Lan You Nian instantly understood what Feng Yi Xuan meant. As a matter of fact, ever since she came to this different world, she only wore white clothes. Its already be a habit. Lan You Nian didnt do it deliberately. It was only in the past Lan You Nian believed white to be clean. Only this way, it can conceal her bloody heart. Now she has Feng Yi Xuan with her, Lan You Nians bleeding heart was already mended. There was nothing that needed to be concealed anymore.
I dont look good in white clothes? Lan You Nian red at Feng Yi Xuan, as if Feng Yi Xuan dares to answer yes she will flip faces.
No, Nian Nian is pretty in anything! Feng Yi Xuan immediately answered, afraid if he answered too slowly it will make Lan You Nian angry then with the tips of his ears red, he said, I very much want to see Nian Nian wear different colored clothes. It must be beautiful!
What Feng Yi Xuan didnt say is that he has fantasized about Lan You Nian wearing different colored clothes standing beside him in the past. Just some time ago, he had a beautiful dream. In the dream, Nian Nian wore a red wedding dress and married him. After waking from the dream, for the whole day, Feng Yi Xuan was overjoyed.
Under Feng Yi Xuans loyal dog longing gaze, Lan You Nian didnt have any backbone and nodded in agreement. Feng Yi Xuans mind was was already fantasizing about LAn You Nian wearing different clothing. As he kept on thinking, Feng Yi Xuan suddenly remembered seeing Nian Nian bathing that day. Feng Yi Xuan immediately interrupted his own thoughts, afraid he would once again have a nose bleed. He didnt want to lose face in front of Nian Nian once more.
Lan You Nian hadnt the chance to react before she was carried by Feng Yi Xuan out of You Nian Pavilion. Lan You Nian can feel Feng Yi Xuans inexplicable agitation and rapidly beating heart. What was even more unexpected for Lan You Nian was that she noticed Feng Yi Xuan, not only were the tips of his ears red, but the entire ear was red!
Xuan, whats wrong with you? Though Lan You Nian wanted to go see what Feng Guan Lian was doing,pared to this, she was more worried about Feng Yi Xuan. She feared Feng Yi Xuan felt any difort.
With Lan You Nians concerned questioning, Feng Yi Xuan felt even more embarrassed. His Nian Nian was still small. How can he have such wicked thoughts? Feng Yi Xuan, on one hand spurns his lecherous thoughts, on the other hand, he couldnt stop from fantasizing, truly suffering from his own actions.
Nothing. We should hurry over to the visitors pce! Feng Yi Xuan said a little awkwardly, fearing LAn You Nian would detect his inner thoughts.
When the two arrived at the visitors pce, Feng Guan Lian had yet to appear. The two found a concealed rooftop and sat side by side gazing at the sky. The curtain of darkness was like a boundless nket. The sky of stars were seemingly sparkling gemstones sewn onto the nket. The moon in the sky slowly transformed from a willow leaf into a sickle, proceeding to morph into a small boat quietly sailing on the boundless vast sea. Following the passage of time, the gorgeous moon as bright as a white jade te finally emerged before the twos eyes.
Just as the two people were engrossed in the beauty of the night, a sneaking figure walked into the visitors pce. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan you Nians eyes met. The two knew Feng Guan Lian who theyve been waiting for has finally appeared.
Feng Guan Lian from head to toe was covered tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes. If one didnt look carefully, who would have thought that this was Feng Empires most naive and lovely third princess? Feng Guan Lian took out a stamped token then under the guidance of a guard, she was led into Yue Empires delegates residence pce.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian followed behind quietly, then watched as Feng Guan Lian entered the room of one of Yue Empires court officials. The two of themnded on the rooftop of the room and covertly removed a tile on the roof. They could see clearly what was happening inside.
Lin daren! Feng Guan Lian walked into the room, curtsying to the man sitting at the table. Lan You Nian narrowed her eyes to see the mans looks clearly. This Lin daren was a marquis in Yue Empire. The power in his hands isnt small and was relied on heavily by the Emperor.
This Lin daren was a man in his thirties. His looks was tolerable but the lust in his eyes directed at Feng Guan Lian made Lan You Nian feel disgust. The grayish color under his eyes, just with one look, its obvious its caused by overindulgence of sexual activity.
Third princess camete hm? Ling daren stood up and wrapped Feng Guan Lian into his arms. Feng Guan Lian giggled coquettishly as she feigned rejection as she sat down in Lin darens arms. Lin daren, at this time, ripped off the ck robes that Feng Guan Lians body was wrapped in.
Good heavens! Lan You Nian only now did she see clearly what Feng Guan Lian was wearing. It was a barely concealing transparent outfit, wearing was more tempting than not wearing anything. You could even see Feng Guan Lians rose-pink dudou and pure white skin. As soon as Lin daren saw this, lust clouded his head.
Lan You Nian, seeing Feng Guan Lian dressed like this, hastily pped a hand over Feng Yi Xuans eyes. Even if the person below was Feng Yi Xuans younger sister born of the same father but different mother, Lan You Nian still didnt want to let Feng Yi Xuans eyes see another womans body. You have to admit sometimes Lan You Nian was simrly domineering.
In regards to Lan You Nians action, Feng Yi Xuans mouth was split open. He liked seeing Nian Nian eating vinegar for him. This made him feel that he was the man Nian Nian held in her heart. This proves Nian Nian cared about him.
In the room below, Lin daren reached out his finger to stroke Feng Guan Lians skin. Feng Guan Lian pinned down Lin darens palm, simpering her voice, Aiya, Lin daren dont rush! Today Lianer came to see daren because second imperial brother has instructions.
Hearing this, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian realized that Feng Guan Lian actually belonged to the Empresss faction, truly hidden very deeply. Lan You Nian always thought Feng Guan Lian was dependent on Noble Consort Lin. She didnt expect Feng Guan Lian to be part of Noble Consort Lins faction on the surface but in secret, she was the Empresss faction. No wonder all these years Noble Consort Lin hasnt triumphed over the Empress. With such a chess piece by her side, Noble Consort Lin hasnt discovered, truly died unjustly.
First let this daren have a taste. Business can be discussedter! Lin daren didnt care about Feng Guan Lians thoughts and directly pinned Feng guan Lian on the ice cold table and started tearing at Feng Guan Lians clothes. Then eagerly cast off his own clothes.
Lan You Nian was going to continue to watch the live show when her eyes were covered up. She then heard Feng Yi Xuan lean into her ear, whispering, Dont look. Not as good looking as me!
Lan You Nian, of course, knew this old man wasnt as good looking as Feng Yi Xuan. Not to mention this Lin daren, even all the men in the world, there probably wasnt one that was as good looking as Feng Yi Xuan. Lan You Nian didnt expect there to be a time when Feng Yi Xuan was narcissistic like this.
Towards theck of reply from the girl beside him, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel any displeasure. However he knew this wasnt the time to talk but Feng Yi Xuan already had a n in his mind. It was this n that made Lan You Nian....
The two mutually covered up each others eyes. From below, the sweet feminine moans and hoarse masculine roar drifted out, making the people who heard it blush from their face and ears. Lan You Nian even can feel Feng Yi Xuans hand covering her eyes was already sweating.
It was just as Lan You Nian guessed, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt feeling all that good. In the past, he, not to mention listening to this, even seeing people performing a live show in front of him, he didnt have any fluctuation. In the past, like everyone else, Feng Yi Xuan wondered if he had some unmentionable disease. After all, he has never felt any urges towards women. But ever since meeting Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan knew he was a man with sexual desire. But different from everyone else, he only felt desire for Nian Nian. Hearing the sounds below, sensing Nian Nian breathing beside him, Feng Yi Xuan only felt his breathing bing heavy. He had an urge to kiss Nian Nian.
The mans breathing beside her puffed on LAn You Nians cheeks with searing heat. Lan You Nian felt her own cheeks were rapidly scalding. It wasnt that she was unaware of Feng Yi Xuans desire for her. A lot of times when the two slept together on the same bed, she can feel the difference in Feng Yi Xuans body. Lan You Nian can onlyugh it off. After all, her current age was truly too young. In any case, Lan You Nian was a little fearful. Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, she has never done this kind of thing. Shes afraid that if Feng Yi Xuan held back too long, when the time came for their wedding night, she would be done to death. One had to say Lan You Nian hit the mark!
Just as Lan You Nian was debating whether she should go down and kill people, the two people finally stopped. Feng Yi Xuan also released the hand that was covering up Lan You Nians eyes. He had an urge tomit murder! Feng Yi Xuan didnt hope for Nian Nian to hear these. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, Nian Nian on one hand was his woman, on the other, she was the child he wanted to spoil.
Lin daren, how is Lianers service? Feng Guan Lian was dressed as her voice asked flirtatiously. Where was the appearance of a countrys princess? Was Feng Guan Lian any different than the prostitutes in the brothel? At least the prostitutes didnt have Feng Guan Lians deceptive mannerism!
Princess is the most beautiful woman this official has ever seen! Lin daren said falsely. Such a man had a chasm of difference when on the bed and off the bed. Taking off his clothes, he was an animal. Putting his clothes on, he was was no better than an animal.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt look at Feng Guan Lian below with any feelings. For Feng Yi Xuan, the princes and princesses in the imperial pce, only Feng Xia Qi was his family. The other people were enemies who couldntpare to strangers. So in regards to Feng Guan Lians actions, Feng Yi Xuan, besides contempt, didnt feel any anger.
Lin daren, what about the matter that second imperial brother wants Lin daren to do at the farewell banquet? Feng Guan Lian asked.
Some timeter, the farewell banquet was the banquet bidding farewell to the dignitaries of the other countries. It seem Feng Shao Chu intended to make a move during the farewell banquet.
Dont know what noble countrys second wangye wants this official to do? Lin daren smiling said. He and Feng Shao Chu has had contact with each other for a while already. They were merely taking what each of them needs. At certain times, he still needed to rely on Feng Shao Chu. After all, feng Shao Chu gave him many benefits.
Second imperial brother knows Yue countryes to the capital is to let Yue countrys Princess Bai Lian to form a marriage alliance. Second imperial brother likes Princess Bai Lian very much, so... Feng Guan Lian stood up. It was already prettyte. She should go back otherwise if she was discovered, she was done for.
Rest assured, the business second wangye is talking about will be settled by this official! At that time, second wangye will return with the beauty in his arms! Lin daren said directly. This matter wasnt difficult. The original intention of Princess Bai Lianing to Feng country was for a peace marriage. Though the candidate for peace marriage wasnt certain but as long as the rice is already cooked, even if Princess Bai Lian doesnt want to marry, she will have to marry.
Thats good. Then Lianer will go back. I will patiently await Lin darens good tidings! Feng Guan Lian finished saying this then bundled up in the ck robe left the visitors pce.
Feng Yi Xuan also left the visitors pce with Lan You Nian, returning to You Nian Pavilion, however....
Chapter 164 - Shy Lan You Nian
164 Shy Lan You Nian
After bathing, Lan You Nianid in bed about to rest. As for Feng Yi Xuan, he was behind the windscreen bathing as well. Lan You Nian thought Feng Yi Xuan will sleep on the couch tonight. Most of the time, the two of them slept separately. Firstly, Feng Yi Xuan feared he would act impulsively and vite her. Secondly, most of the time, Feng Yi Xuan came back veryte so he couldnt bear to disturb her.
As Lan You Nian was halfway into falling asleep, she sensed Feng Yi Xuan lifting the nket away toy down. Lan You Nian didnt overthink it. As usual, she snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms. But Lan You Nian felt something strange, suddenly snapping her eyes open.
Because Lan You Nian was touching Feng Yi Xuans skin. Lan You Nian gaped with wide eyes in rm at Feng Yi Xuan. Just one look nearly made Lan You Nian scramble down from the bed. She was caught by Feng Yi Xuan.
Xuan, you...you... Lan You Nians face was flushed red looking at Feng Yi Xuans naked body. She didnt know whether she should have her eyes open or close them. Because there was glow in the dark pearls, Lan You Nian can clearly see Feng Yi Xuans naked body.
Lan You Nian didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan who usually seemed pretty lean, just from this one look, it turns out Feng Yi Xuan was the type of person who looked skinny in clothes but had muscles once clothes were removed. Feng Yi Xuans skin was very fine, very white, but that muscr chest and abs made Lan You Nian nearly have a nose bleed. In the previous lifetime, Lan You Nian has seen plenty of various types of model hot guys but inparison with Feng Yi Xuans physique, they were all trash. With just Feng Yi Xuans physique, if it were seen by other women, who knew how many young women will want to jump him.
AhC! Lan You Nian pped a hand over her hand screaming. She thought shes reached the limit of her extreme but when Lan You Nian trailed her eyes down Feng Yi Xuans flesh, there was a sexy v-line, as well as an entire naked body. She thought Feng Yi Xuan was only bare on the top half but now she knew Feng Yi Xuan didnt wear even a slip of clothing. He waspletely naked embracing her.
Lan You Nian already saw all of the naked Feng Yi Xuan, feeling extremely embarrassed inside. Maybe due to the feelings in her heart, she was even more ufortable.
Why arent you putting on clothes yet! Lan You Nian,pletely flushed, forced herself to look at Feng Yi Xuans eyes, working hard to make her brain to forget what she just saw. But Lan You Nian realized no matter what she did, she couldnt forget Feng Yi Xuans bare body.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt listen to Lan You Nians words. Instead, he gently shifted LAn You Nians little head to make Lan You Nian continue to look at his body. Lan You Nian had the feeling that Feng Yi Xuan was an exhibitionist.
Lan You Nian breathed in and out to make herself calm her heart then with shy eyes said, Xuan, whats wrong? Lan You Nian was honestly a little afraid. Shes afraid if she continued to look, she will pounce on him. Not only beauty leads astray, male beauty also leads astray.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Nian Nian didnt seem to be dissatisfied with his physique. Feng Yi Xuan also saw a rare moment of Nian Nian being bashful. Feng Yi Xuan smiled, as if the dark clouds finally retreated, sunlight flooded the entire room, in an instant making the scenery lose all color, no light between heaven and earth. He whispered, Nian Nian, you arent allowed to look at other mens bodies. IF you want to look, then look at mine!
When did I look at another man? Lan You Nian retorted. She suddenly remembered the words Feng Yi Xuan said above the rooftop of the visitors pce. Lan You Nian felt like vomiting blood. How can this man be so serious concerning her matters?
I dont care, youre not allowed! Even if you loo, its not as good looking as my body! Feng Yi Xuan dered proudly. In regards to his own figure, Feng Yi Xuan had self-confidence. She spent many years practicing martial arts as well as fighting on the battlefield. His physique was excellent.
I know. Your bodys the best! Lan You Nian didnt know whether tough or cry then hastily got off the bed to pick up Feng Yi Xuans clothes and throw it at him, rushing to say, Now can you get dressed?
However not only didnt Feng Yi Xuan get dressed, just like that, he walked down from the bed naked and carried Lan You Nian back to bed then very sincerely said, Nianer, you didnt take a good look at my body!
I looked! Lan You Nian shoved the outfit at Feng Yi Xuan, saying sincerely, I really looked!
Feng Yi Xuan studied Lan you Nian, ascertaining if Lan you Nian was stating the truth, then very carefully and cautiously asked, Then...is my body good? Feng Yi Xuan wanted to know that he was the best in Nian Nians eyes, then Nian Nian will only look at him in the future.
Lan You Nian wanted to know where the pure-hearted Feng Yi Xuan went. Now when did Feng Yi Xuan, whos naked as the day he was born, cken? She cant withstand it ah!
Very, very good! Lan You Nians tone was sincere, Now can you get dressed? Xuan, the weather is getting colder. What if you get sick? Lan You Nian revealed a pitiful worried expression.
Sure enough after hearing this, Feng Yi Xuan hastily put on his clothes afraid he will make Lan You Nian upset. On the contrary, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel cold at all. Because when Nian Nian was looking at his body, Feng Yi Xuan shamefully felt his bodys change and impulse. Not only didnt he feel cold, he felt hot. Only Nian Nians one gaze can make him stir with desire. He in this lifetime was destined to be defeated by her but he was wholeheartedly willing.
Feng Yi Xuan in a leisurely manner reclothed himself. Lan You Nian had her back facing Feng Yi Xuan as she slept. There was no way she was able to face Feng Yi Xuan right now. The shock to her was too much. It was the first time Lan You Nian slept so far away from feng Yi Xuan on the same bed.
Feng Yi Xuan, after properly putting on his clothes, boldly jerked Lan You Nian out from inside the bed and into his own arms. His big hands patted her back as if coaxing Lan You Nian into sleep like a child. Lan You Nian couldnt sleep at all. Because with their bodies sticking to each other, Lan You Nian can feel the abnormality in Feng Yi Xuans bottom half.
Feng Yi Xuan believed the girl in his arms to be shy so she couldnt fall asleep. Feng Yi Xuan thought about it for a while and felt since Nian Nian already praised his body, Yu Liu Li has said before girls all liked to hearpliments, so Feng Yi Xuan scooted near Lan You Nians ear.
Actually, Nian Nians figure is also very good! Feng Yi Xuans voice was low and hoarse, containing an indescribable maism that rung in Lan You Nians ears.
Feng Yi Xuan! Lan You Nian got up hissing, Get off my bed! Lan You Nians chest rose and fell heavily. Only Feng Yi Xuan could provoke ripples from her heart.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan widened his dazzling purple eyes, pitifully peering at Lan You Nian. He didnt understand that he clearlyplimented Nian Nians figure to be good, why did Nian Nian still seem angry? If Nian Nianplimented him his figure was very good, he would be very happy.
Get off! Lan You Nian kicked out her small feet and stuck Feng Yi Xuan. She actually wasnt willing to use any force but she was still feeling angry and annoyed. She really didnt understand how Feng Yi Xuan could say such things. It made her feel extremely shy.
Feng Yi Xuan allowed Lan You Nians small feet to kick him. In any case, that little bit of force was like a tickle. It was no use against him. Feng Yi Xuan wondered why didnt Nian Nian kiss him in joy after his rarepliment? Feng Yi Xuan showed his unhappiness, certain in his heart that Yu Liu Lis little bit of wooing girls tricks were all wrong. Next time he sees Yu Liu Li, he must give him some good punches, really thinks up of rotten ideas!
Meanwhile, Yu Liu Li who was in his room sleeping sneezed, not understanding whos badmouthing him in their thoughts. Why did he feel a cold shiver down his spine? How could Yu Liu Li have known that Feng Yi Xuan held a grudge against him, so much so that the next time they meet, he really was beaten up, beaten up for no reason at all! Yu Liu Li couldnt understand it at all.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan used his hand to catch Lan You Nians small feet, smooth white small feet appeared extremely delicate in Feng Yi Xuans big hands, even the toenails were pink and lovely. Feng Yi Xuan feared Lan You Nian would get cold so enveloped Lan you Nians little feet in his palm but didnt get off the bed.
Get off! Lan You Nian was determined to not allow Feng Yi Xuan to sleep beside her. In any case, as long as he was in the room, she will sleep peacefully. Lan You Nian can guarantee Feng Yi Xuan wont leave.
Dont want to! Feng Yi Xuan yed with the tiny foot in his palm, answering resolutely.
Lan You Nian red with her big eyes, then her eyes narrowed as if recalling something, hanging her little head, her eyshes trembling, her voice a little shaky, You said you would listen to me but youre already bulling me...
Feng Yi Xuan saw this stance and instantly panicked. It wasnt that he wasnt aware that Nian Nian was deliberately acting pitiful, but even if it just an act, Feng Yi Xuan was unwilling to bear seeing Nian Nian looking like this. It made his heart ache and not know what to do.
Nian Nian, Im not, Ill get off right now alright? Feng Yi Xuan after saying this immediately got off the bed and tucked Lan You Nian in afraid Lan you Nian would be chilled and afraid Lan You Nian will be unhappy with him.
Lan You Nian raised her head. Where is there any aggrieved look? That pair of eyes was full of craftiness andughter. Feng Yi Xuan knew she was acting. Seeing her look up, he poked her forehead with his forefinger, You ah! His tone was indulgent.
Rest early! Seeing that it was already prettyte, Feng Yi Xuan restrained the desire to tease Nian Nian, nted a kiss on Lan You Nians forehead then coaxed her.
You sleep too! Lan You Nian pointed at the couch that was as big as a bed. Though she was annoyed with Feng Yi Xuan saying such improper words, but her heart still ached for Feng Yi Xuans enduring. He let her be spoiled and different or that is to say he let her express the little willfulness hidden deep in her bones.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan though he wanted to stand by Nian Nians bedside to watch over her but seeing the distress and concern that wasnt masked in the girls eyes, Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart was sweeter than having eaten honey. He got on the couch, tucking himself into the nket andid down on his side, looking at the girl who was also lying on her wide watching him. Just like this, the two of them fell asleep facing one another. It was a night of sweet dreams.
Chapter 165 - Use of Heavenly Spirit Fruit
165 Use of Heavenly Spirit Fruit
Recently, the courts havent been very stable. After having breakfast with Lan You Nian in You Nian Pavilion, Feng Yi Xuan returned to Ming wangfu.
Master! An Yi appeared in the study, presenting a letter, This is the letter sent by the Medical Valley! Ever since master was aware of the deadly poison in Miss Lans body, the letters between the Medical Valley and Ming wangfu has been nonstop since Gui Yi Zis return. Master was unfailingly patient as he interrogated Gui Yi Zi if he has yet developed the remaining antidote.
Hn! Feng Yi Xuan put down the booklet in his hands and picked up the letter that carried the insignia of Medical Valley to read over. The first words that came into sight were Gui Yi Zis furiously wild handwriting, the starting several pages were actually cursing him, not surprisingly, ming him for the betrothal between him and Nian Nian and abused him for stealing his Nian Nian, rambling on and on with abusing words. Who knows how long Gui Yi Zi has been stifled to be able to write so much abuse.
Feng Yi Xuan knew that he was a little too eager concerning this matter but he really wanted Nian Nian to be his wangfei. He wanted everyone to know Nian Nian is his. But Feng Yi Xuan knew what Gui Yi Zi meant to Nian Nian, he was Nian Nians family, Nian Nians shifu. Feng Yi Xuan was aware that he was in the wrong.
Feng Yi Xuan continued to read on. The letter mentioned the next time Nian Nians poison attacked, they must return to Medical Valley and to bring the Heavenly Spirit Fruit with them. However, Feng Yi Xuan caught a glimpse of good news. Because the letter had written on it if she took the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Nian Nians poison attacks would no longer be so painful, she would only feel very weak. To a great extent, Nian Nian can suffer less, Feng Yi Xuan didnt wish to see Lan You Nians excruciating pain from the rpse of the poison.
Feng Yi Xuan recalled the recent few times of the poison rpse he was with Nian Nian, watching as the girl he wanted to protect and love in such pain that death was better than living yet he couldnt do a thing. At that moment, Feng Yi Xuan not only wanted tomit murder but he wanted to kill himself. That kind of pain as if his heart was being carved into made him wish for death. He would rather he himself hurt, a thousand, a million times more instead of letting Nian Nian in a hint of pain.
Seeing his masters mood seemed much better, An Yi ventured to ask, Master, is there headway on Miss Lans poison? Usually master was someone who always wore a poker face but if he encountered something that concerned Miss Lan, master will be a normal man.
Feng Yi Xuan who usually wouldnt talk nonsense with his subordinates, out of the ordinary answered, Hn, with the Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Nian Nian will no longer be in so much pain with the rpse of the poison but she will be very weak! Feng Yi Xuan, on one hand, rejoiced in Lan You Nian can forgo the pain while on the other hand, his heart ached for Lan You Nians frail health during the rpse of the poison.
Seeing his master frowning, An Yi pondered for a moment before saying a word offort, Master shouldnt worry. Gui Yi Zis medical skills can be said to be the best in the world. Half of the poison in Miss Lans body has already been figured out, definitely can cure the poison!
Feng Yi Xuan raised his eyes to look at An Yi who has followed him since young. The people beside him were people who were rather inarticte with words. These subordinates not only needed to go with him onto the battlefield as well as the court, but they also needed to manage Ghost Realms affairs. Because having followed him for a long time, they carried a cold air around them. When did the people beside him be so animated? It must have started with Nian Nians appearance. Nian Nian. The warmth in Feng Yi Xuans eyes deepened. Nian Nian was his little star of fortune.
Bring all the matters to take care of as quickly as possible then follow benwang to apany Nian Nian to Medical Valley! Feng Yi Xuan directed. In his heart, nothing was more important than Nian Nian.
Yes! An Yi knew what Miss Lan meant to his master, probably more important than his own life. Becausest time Miss Lan and fourth wangye returned to the manor and was injured, masters heart ached. When he returned to the manor, he used a sword to slit a deep wound on his arm. The few of them were stunned. They knew master resented himself for not protecting Miss Lan so he wanted to hurt with Miss Lan. Such love, who in this world canpare?
Feng Yi Xuan raised the brush to return a letter to Gui Yi Zi. Thinking, his thoughts ran to the girl in his heart. Having just been separated this morning, Feng Yi Xuan missed her very much, he really wanted to miniaturize Nian Nian to put her in his heart so he can take her with him wherever he goes.
At this moment, Lan You Nian who Feng Yi Xuan was currently missing walked into the visitors pce.
Lan You Nian brought along Lan Wu and Lan Qu to the visitors pce to find Bai Lian. With all shes heardst night, Lan You Nian thought it best to inform Bai Lian. Besides, she still had a question to ask Bai Lian. Due to her current identity as future Ming wangfei, as well as the fact, everyone can tell the two of them got along very well, hering to find Yue Bai Lian didnt catch much attention.
Nianer! Yue Bai Lian sent away all the guards and handmaidens calling out happily. She didnt expect master toe here to see her. Her current identity was an empires princess. Yue Bai Lian thought she and master wouldnt have any opportunity to spent time alone together.
Are you well? Lan You Nian asked. She knew Yue Bai Lian did a lot of things when she returned to Yue, retaliating against those who hurt her. Yue Qian Ling who was the only one to escape became like this; it will probably be more painful living than death.
Hm, pretty well. But I miss the days in Xiao Jin Pavilion! Yue Bai Lian faintly smiled. Perhaps because she has recovered her identity of a princess, with a crowd of guards and handmaidens, only have to hold out her hands to be dressed and open her mouth to be fed but Yue Bai Lian felt extremely empty inside. She missed the days in Xiao Jin Pavilion when she stood behind master. She missed the days in Xiao Jin Pavilion where she would wait for masters arrival. She missed the days in Xiao Jin Pavilion when she would y the zither and sing for master. That life she constantly reminisced about.
With your current identity, youre destined not to be able to go back to look. Look forward dont look back! Lan You Nianforted. Shes always known Bai Lian was a very good woman. That is why she saved her then. In Lan You Nians heart, the two of them can be good friends. Its a pity that fate makes them fools, something like this would happen.
Mn, I know! Yue Bai Lian wistfully smiled. She understood. She was certain she can put down these things. She can continue to keep blessing Lan You Nian. Some love isnt possession but protecting.
Right! Heavenly Spirit Fruit is Emperor of Yues highly valued quality medicine. How did you get it? Lan you Nian asked. From the start, she was worried Bai Lian would do something stupid. Afterwards, after she saw Bai Lian, she didnt overthink but now Heavenly Spirit Fruit was in her hands, Lan You Nian found things quite odd.
Yue Bai Lian lowered her eyes, avoiding Lan You Nians bright eyes. In reality, when she asked for the Heavenly Spirit Fruit from Imperial Father, Imperial Father refused to hand it over. Yue Bai Lian knew this would be the result so Yue Bai Lian exchanged something she knew Imperial Father has always wanted. That was the forces left behind for her by her Consort Mother. Her Consort Mother was once a well-known aplished woman, holding in her hands Yue Empires one branch of wealth. It was unfortunate that her Consort Mother fell in love with the worlds most fickle Emperor. She willingly entered the imperial harem to be a consort. In the end, she was killed by the other women.
Yue Bai Lian, in fact, understood amongst those who killed her Consort Mother, her Imperial Father was included. Imperial Father has always wanted the forces in Consort Mothers hands but Consort Mother secretly gave these forces to her. Later, Imperial Father watched on the sidelines as those women hurt Consort Mother and in the end, caused Consort Mothers miserable death.
She was pursued by those brothers and sisters and forced to escape from the pce. Fortunately, she encountered master and escaped death. Bai Lian thought she would never, no matter what, return to that ce. She didnt expect the poison master suffers from to require the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. She, without any hesitation, went back, returned to the ce she hated.
All these years, Yue Bai Lian didnt stay in Xiao Jin Pavilion in vain. Shes learned tricks and to plot. Thus she quietly got rid of all those who caused her Consort Mothers death one by one. Perhaps Imperial Father was aware that it was her doing but without any evidence, he could do nothing.
Heavenly Spirit Fruit was the imperial familys divine quality medicine. At first, when Bai Lian asked for it from Imperial Father, she was scolded. Later, Bai Lian handed over the forces left by Consort Mother to Imperial Father. In reality, Emperor Yue wasnt aware that after so many years, that power was already of no use. Its a pity that when Bai Lian caught sight of Imperial Fathers look of greed, she didnt say anything. Imperial Father even had Bai Lian be the princess sent off for the peace marriage. Only this way, would he hand the Heavenly Spirit Fruit to her.
Without any thought, Yue Bai Lian agreed. For her, it was the same to her whoever she married. Since it was so, why should she care? Perhaps in other peoples eyes, to be a peace marriage princess was a supreme honor but Yue Bai Lian knew, there was no princess in Yues imperial family that was willing to be married off for an alliance because Yue Empire was already restless. If the two empires started a war, then as the alliance princess, was bound to be the point of resentment for Feng empires imperial court. Forget glory, splendor, wealth or rank, simply living wont be an easy thing.
I agreed to the marriage alliance, so Imperial Father gave me the Heavenly Spirit Fruit! Yue Bai Lian half-lied and half-spoke the truth. She didnt want to lie but neither did she want for Lan You Nian to feel guilty. Doing all this was out of her own free will. She didnt wish for Lan You Nian to shoulder any guilt.
~sigh Lan You Nian sighed. How can she not tell that things werent as simple as that? However, with the Heavenly Spirit Fruit already in her hands, things can no longer turn back. Shell just protect Bai Lian even more in the future.
For the marriage alliance, have you already chosen a candidate? Lan You Nian asked. A woman like Bai Lian was well suited to being a wife. Lan You Nian can tell that many men wanted to marry Bai Lian. Lan You Nian hoped Bai Lian wouldnt force herself.
Yue Bai Lian thought for a moment, then shook her head saying, I dont have a candidate right now but Im not in a hurry. I will be staying in Feng Empire a while to look around then choose who Ill marry!
Yue Bai Lian stood to steep tea for Lan You Nian, as if nothing has changed since Xiao Jin Pavilion.
Bai Lian! Lan You Nian received the teacup with a rare severity saying, If you dont want to marry, I have my way of saving you. Dont wrong yourself. No matter what, you are one of Wu Qing Pavilions people. You cant let people bully you without cause.
Yue Bai Lians eyes were a little red and moist. Her master has never changed. She was still biased in protecting her own people. Only such a master, such a Nianer was worthy of her to love. Even though she was a woman, Yue Bai Lian has never regretted.
I know. I have Young Master Wu Qing behind me. Who dares to bully me? Yue Bai Lian furiously rubbed at her eyes. She hated being so weak. She wished to be invincible. Only this way can she protect those she wanted to protect.
Lan You Nians heart ached but she couldnt do anything for Yue Bai Lian. These feelings she had no way of reciprocating nor could she respond to it. Her heart was already filled to the brim by Feng Yi Xuan, there was no ce left for other people.
For the Farewell banquet in a few days, you must be careful! Lan You Nians eyes shed with hidden light.
Is something going to happen? Yue Bai Lian knew for Lan You Nian to say this, there must be proof.
Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian discussed the matters of the farewell banquet. After the two of them finished their counsel, it was nearly midday. Lan You Nian thought to herself if she stayed too long, she feared Feng Yi Xuan will eat vinegar. Thus, she said farewell to Yue Bai Lian and left the visitors pce with Lan Wu and Lan Qu.
Chapter 166 - Eating Vinegar
166 Eating Vinegar
Youve followed me for so long, arent you going toe out, Hua empires crown prince? In the depths of Lan You Nians limpid eyes harbored a chill that prated the bones. Her voice was luke-warm and clear. From the moment they departed the visitors pce, Lan You Nian became aware of someone tailing them. However, that person didnt make a move. She guessed this person was probably Hua Xiu Yi.
Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Lan is indeed smart! You guessed it was this crown prince! Hua Xiu Yi walked out from a corner, gazing at the girl who was different from all the others. She wore a faint white beizi, fastened to the bottom half was moonlight white brocade skirt embroidered with flowers, with a light blue long-sleeved jacket thrown on over it. A head of raven ck hair that fell to her waist casually scattered behind her. There was any apanying essories, her face was all-natural facing the heavens, but it was just like this, it gave off a feeling of being carved by nature, a natural beauty of hibiscus rising out of clear water. Hua Xiu Yi had to admit Lan You Nian was the most beautiful female hes ever met. She was also the one female who he felt was most unusual.
Can I ask why Crown Prince Hua has followed me all this way for? Lan You Nian asked, her voice was leisurely without any warmth. Lan Qu and Lan Wu, the two of them, both anxiously watched Hua Xiu Yi afraid Hua Xiu Yi will suddenly make a move to hurt Lan You Nian.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt know himself why he followed Lan You Nian. He was just in the pce idling away his time when he heard his subordinate say she came over to the pce. He saw Lan You Nian enter Yue Bai Lians courtyard, then the for the first time, he waited for a woman, then he saw Lan You Nian walk out. Without thinking, he followed, even he felt iprehensible. This wasnt his style of doing things.
Lan You Nian asked her question but didnt receive an answer from Hua Xiu Yi. She scrutinized him strangely. Lan You Nian had to admit Hua Xiu Yi was handsome. Hua Xiu Yis eyes at this moment didnt have any sinful charm or wild unrestraint, lofty like a noble young master. The young master was like jade, virtuous without any ws, exhausting time and all prosperity, even his gait was the worlds most beautiful ink wash painting. Lan You Nian only caught a glimpse of this before Hua Xiu Yi recovered that ambiguous look.
Miss Lan is not only a little beauty, but even your handmaidens is also a clever one? Hua Xiu Yi deliberately didnt answer Lan You Nians question, instead, he was looking at the handmaidens who were vigntly watching him with interest.
Lan You Nian blocked Lan Qu and Lan Wu behind her. Not that she was afraid Hua Xiu Yi would be interested in Lan Wu and Lan Qu, despite Hua Xiu Yi this person was unpredictable but Lan You Nian had to admit Hua Xiu Yi was much better than those disgusting worms, but all the same, she held in distaste.
Speaking of beauty, who canpare to Crown Prince Hua you? Lan You Nian said sincerely to Hua Yiu Yi.
People all know that Crown Prince Huas appearance was even more beautiful than a womans but his means were savage like that of a demons. If someone dared to say Crown Prince Huas face was beautiful, there was no one person who was alive. Ever since, no one dared to mention this in front of Crown Prince Hua.
Lan Qu and Lan Wus breathing suddenly stopped. They were both aware of the rumors about Crown Prince Hua, thinking that there will probably be a terrible fight for young miss. What they must do is protect themselves and not hinder young miss. If young miss was in danger, they will fight tooth and nail for young misss safety.
Hua Xiu Yis eyes that were more seductive than a womans shed forbiddingly, his gaze on Lan You Nian harbored a piercing killing intent. No one dared to say he had a beautiful face in front of him. Even if there was, they were no longer alive in this world.
Hua Xiu Yis finger that was white as an onion moved. He wanted to crush that girls tender neck. When Hua Xiu Yi saw those eyes that didnt contain any fear or any emotion at all, he realized his desire to kill her disappeared entirely.
Do you know where are those who say this about this crown prince? Hua Xiu Yi smiled like the devil at Hua Xiu Yi, even flicked out his tongue to lick his lips. The appearance made Lan Wu and Lan Qus face red.
Lan You Nian seemed not to see Hua Xiu Yis action, indifferently saying, Where? Perhaps in the ground?
Indeed you are smart! Hua Xiu Yi chuckled by himself, his gaze on Lan You Nian seemed to be searing with heat but Lan You Nian didnt say anything. Perhaps others will think Hua Xiu Yis gaze was too unrestrained but Lan You Nian can sense Hua Xiu Yis gaze wasnt invasive this time.
Hua Xiu Yi walked over to Lan You Nian. He wanted to see the content hidden of her eyes. A burst of killing intent filled the air making Hus Xiu Yi and Lan You Nian both put on poker faces to look at the ck assassins standing in front of them.
Hehe Hus Xiu Yi looked at the assassins, in a bad mood. It was difficult as it is for himself to find an interesting person to talk to yet these people dont grow any eyes toe provoke him. He merely left Hua empire for a while, yet those people couldnt endure it any longer?
You really are not well liked.m for so many people to want to kill you! Lan You Nian carefully observed these assassins and noticed these people were targeting Hus Xiu Yi. She was just an innocent bystander who was implicated.
Hua Xiu Yi suddenly moves and killed off an assassin. Lan You Nian found Hua Xiu Yi used the same weapon as Gui San, a fan but clearly Hua Xiu Yis fan even more efficiently sliced through mud.
Hua Xiu Yi took care of one assassin after another. Suddenly he came to Lan You Nians side saying,if this crown prince died today, it will be worth it this crown prince cant be born the same year and day as Miss Lan but can die the same year and day. It is a beautiful thought!
Lan You Nian used qinggong to leave Hua Xiu yis side and headed on the pan towards the mani. She didnt want to stay to mess around with Hua Xiu Yi. Since these assassins werent here to kill her then she wont offer a hand and waste her energy. Going back early was the right thing to do.
Really so heartless? Hua Xiu Yi muttered watching Lan You Nian leave with her two handmaidens without any hesitation. He didnt know why his heart felt ufortable, not wishing for that girl to abandon him like this, always this heartlessly treating him.
Because of his bad mood Hua Xiu Yis fan became even faster. Those assassins have neared Hua Xiu Yi before they were already killed. Hua Xiu Yis technique in killing people was a little bloody. He liked watching his enemies dying absolutely shattered.
Is Miss Lan leaving just like this? We are on the same boat! Hua Xiu Yi said to the departing Lan You Nian , his voice contained malicious delight.
Hearing this Lan You Nian stooped, not because some of the assassins were targeting her but because that hateful Hua Xiu Yi wanted to drag her into the water. If she left without caring for anything, she was certain based on Hua Xiu Yis unpredictable temper, he will definitely let one assassin go alive then the one behind will think she and Hua Xiu Yi has a beneficial rtionship. Then her life in the future will have an addition of fearless assassins.
Evidently Lan Wu and Lan Qu also understood the meaning behind Hua Xiu Yis words. The two drew out the dagger always carried on them and entangled with the assassins. Though Lan Wu and Lan Qus internal force was poor, but their fighting technique was a rare master. The two of them with ease and skill fought with the assassins.
What a surprise that your two handmaidens have such abilities! Hua Xiu Yi looked in appreciation at Lan Wu and Lan Qus skill noticing their style was simr to the girl beside him. Hua Xiu Yi was sure these two handmaidens were taught by Lan You Nian.
Lan Qu, Lan Wu lets go! Lan You Nian seeing all the assassins have been dealt with said to Lan Qu and Lan Ya. Concerning Hua Xiu Yi, Lan You Nian chose to ignore him because not only this guy she cant kill, he didnt have any malicious intent towards her. Though Lan You Nian has killed innocent people, but under ordinary circumstances those who are harmless to her, she would try not to harm. She didnt want to be something she wouldnt even recognize.
Hua Xiu Yi approached Lan You Nian to stop her. It was at this moment a burst of forceful killing intent mmed into him. Hua Xiu Yi was promptly engaged in a fight with that person. Only then did Hua Xiu Yi realize the one to attack him was Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuans fathomless eyes emitted a cutting frost. He fought with Hua Xiu Yi barehanded. The twos martial arts were formidable, their moves were quick and sharp, each move harbored killing intent. However, the two of them were still rtively clear-headed. They didnt involve Lan You Nian who was standing off to the side.
Young miss! Lan Wu observed Feng Yi Xuan and Hua Xiu Yi who were fighting, Is Ming wang jealous? Hes definitely jealous!
Lan Qu shot Lan Wu a re. She didnt understand what Lan Wu was excited for in such a nerve-wracking atmosphere. That was the man young miss loved. If he was hurt, who knew how much young misss heart will ache. However, Lan Qu can tell this was Ming wangs care towards young miss, not allowing other men to cast covetous eyes on young miss.
Lan You Nian carefully kept her eyes on Feng Yi Xuan and Hua Xiu Yi, or that is to say, she was only looking at Feng Yi Xuan. Despite the fact Feng Yi Xuan was filled with killing intent, Lan You Nian felt very warm. After the two has exchanged many punches, Hua Xiu Yi was struck. Feng Yi Xuan didnt immediately do anything. Instead, he returned to Lan You Nians side.
Hua Xiu Yi, some people you cant touch! Feng Yi Xuans voice was like an iceberg that wouldnt melt for a million years, that chilliness that pierced through the bones can freeze a living person inch by inch. In his life, the things he cared for, the people he cared for was too few. Nian Nian was the person he cared for most. He refused to allow anyone to covet his Nian Nian.
~Ha! Hua Xiua Yi wiped the blood that trickled out his mouth. He didnt expect Feng Yi Xuans martial arts to be a level higher than his. Hua Xiu Yi felt gloomy. Howe so many good things were all taken by Feng Yi Xuan? Unwilling (to admit defeat), so unwilling!
Feng Yi Xuan then carried Lan You Nian off. Just moments ago when he saw that Hua Xiu Yi wanted to stop Nian Nian, he really wanted to murder Hua Xiu Yi. But Feng Yi Xuan knew Hua Xiu Yi represented the entire Hua empire. If he was lightly killed, he will incite a war between the two empires. Though he wasnt afraid, he wouldnt without any cause or reason find trouble for himself.
Xuan, howe youre here? Lan You Nian hooked her arms around Feng Yi Xuans neck, allowing Feng Yi Xuan to use qinggong to fly over to Ming wangfu. She was aware that Feng Yi Xuan was very busy recently. She was very understanding so she didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to look for her today.
You didnt return yet! Feng Yi Xuan muttered unhappily. He knew the thoughts Yue Bai Lian had about his little woman. Although Nian Nian didnt have any ideas about Yue Bai Lian, he still felt unhappy inside so he tossed his official booklet and hurried over.
So you came to pick me up? Lan You Nian asked happily. This feeling of being constantly in someones mind felt really nice.
Hm! Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into Ming wangfu then sat down before the desk in the study with Nian Nian in his arms, two the steward outside who was grinning from ear to ear, he said, Prepare the noon meal!
As soon as the steward heard his familys wangyes instructions, he immediately dashed over to the kitchen. Many of the guards seeing such a joyous steward knew that Miss Lan, that is their future wangfei, must havee to the manor. Every time wangfei came to the manor, the manor seemed much more boisterous.
You cant stay with her so long in the future! Feng Yi Xuan helped Lan You Nian wash her hands, suddenly reminding.
Bai Lian is female! Lan You Nian giggled, Bai Lian is also my friend. How can you randomly eat vinegar?
But she likes you! Feng Yi Xuan put down the cloth in his hands to look at Lan You Nian, very sternly. If Bai Lian wasnt female and he can tell Nian Nians rtionship with this Bai Lian was pretty good, how could he allow Nian Nian to see Bai Lian?
Er.... Lan You Nian awkwardly rubbed her nose, then said, Ill pay more attention in the future okay? If someone else bossed her around like this, she would have turned hostile on them long ago. However this person is Feng Yi Xuan so Lan You Nian only felt warm and was willing topromise.
Good! Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nian was giving consideration to him. It seems in Nian Nians heart he was the most important. Feng Yi Xuans mood was much improved with this knowledge.
Chapter 167 - Farewell Feast (1)
167 Farewell Feast (1)
Time flew by as it fell on the day of the farewell feast. Second wangye Feng Shao Chu was especially excited. With Princess Yue Bai Lians looks, its rare for men not to be moved by such a beautiful woman, not to mention Yue Bai Lian also possessed the status of a princess.
Imperial son! The Empress permitted several of the pce maids to incessantly do her makeup and dress her to cover up her fading beauty, There must be no chance of this matter failing under any circumstance, do you understand? What happenedst time was a tremendous blow to them. Their money was nearly depleted. To bribe those personages, it required money. At this critical juncture, only by marrying Yue Empires princess, they would be able to obtain a part of Yue Empires support.
Rest assured Empress Mother. Weve handled this matter with extreme caution. There wont be any idents! Feng Shao Chu gestured with his hand for the Empresss trusted pce maid to leave, then continued to say, Not only can we attain Princess Lian from this scheme, we can also frame Feng Yi Xuan! Lets see how Imperial Father will make excuses for that person!
Hn! The Empress lightly patted Feng Shao Chus arm, affectionately gazing on her only son. Her daughter was already fixed to marry into another empire. She only has to boost her son onto the throne, only then she can remain unshakeable in her own position. Later, she can summon back her own daughter.
Imperial son, you can marry Princess Bai Lian, but only as a side consort, not as official consort! The Empress fixed her gaze sternly on her son. She feared her son will be captivated by beauty. Shes seen Princess Bai Lians beauty for herself. She was a rare beauty. There is a likely chance for such a woman to be a cmitous beauty.
Subject son knows. This Princess Bai Lian is Yue Empires princess. Benwang needs her support, so is marrying her. Rest assured Empress Mother, subject son wont breach propriety for a woman! Feng Shao Chu said. Although he admires Yue Bai Lian and wants to possess such a beautiful woman, Feng Shao Chu was even more aware of what he wanted. If he married Yue Bai Lian, not only will he obtain a prodigal amount of dowry, the people in court will be able to see who has the greater influence behind them. That way, he will have more chance to obtain that position.
Hn, imperial son didnt disappoint Empress Mother! The Empress was pleased with her son. Such a child who was skilled in plotting was her, An Qian Meis son. Since His Majesty cant see them, mother and child, then she will make His Majesty regret.
An Qian Mei and Feng Shao Chu, the two mother and son, was exhrated over tonights n, not knowing that their n was already known by others....
At this moment, Lan You Nian and the gang have already arrived in the imperial pce. Lan You Nians seat was arranged to be beside Feng Yi Xuan. An unmarried girl in Feng Empire did not have the privilege of sitting beside a wangye but it cant be helped that Feng Yi Xuan dotes on Lan You Nian. The Emperor was also pleased with Lan You Nian, in addition, with those people protecting Lan You Nian, no one dared to stand up and object. If the old stick in the mud Tutor He doesnt even question it, how would they dare to utter a word?
Lan You Nians full head of jade-ck hair was casually tied up into a simple hairstyle. There was a pair of spider lily buyao assembled in her hair, very dainty and lofty, but not wanting in opulence. This was specifically made for her by Feng Yi Xuan. With a nephrite jade bangle on her wrist, translucent and luminous, contrasting against her snow-white skin, truly a wless inherent beauty that can be discarded.
As for Feng Yi Xuan who was sitting beside her, his unfathomable ck eyes were frigid pools. Just once nce made ones heart tremble and give birth to a strand of fear. The mans solid intimidating aura can only make others hold him in awe and veneration. A piercing gaze, and chilly air made people fixate on his dignified and powerful bearing, the formidable air of looking down on the world, thus those who ogled that exquisite face declined. But towards the girl beside him, he was affectionate and indulging, making people hate they couldnt rece the girl sitting beside him.
Lan Jian Jun eyed the daughter who was arranged to sit beside Feng Yi Xuan, his heart resentful. His rtionship with his daughter was already starting to mend. He can sense his daughter was starting to ept this father of hers. But once Ming wang appeared, his daughter wont be able to see him, her visionpletely upied by Ming wang. But Lan Jian Jun couldnt do anything, afraid he would do something that would make his daughter angry.
Todays true leading role is Yue Bai Lian who was just sitting there. The news that Yue Bai Lian came to Feng Empire for a marriage alliance was known by all. Many young masters wanted to marry home this sweet-tempered and alluring princess Yue Bai Lian. So the moment when Yue Bai Lian took her seat, many men exchanged pleasantries with Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lians etiquette was above reproach, always softly answering each young masters question. Her approach to the situation made many of the men besotted with her.
Again brushing off several men, Yue Bai Lian slightly released a sigh and looked towards Lan You Nian. Coincidentally, Lan You Nian was also looking in her direction. The twos eyes met and they smiled at each other.
Lan You Nian contemted Yue Bai Lian. She couldnt help muse that she indeed had the bearing of an imperial familys princess. Even Feng Empires several princesses couldntpare to Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian wore a light blue wide-sleeved long dress that cinched at the waist, eachyer was embroidered withrge peony flowers. The flowers shimmered with a dazzling glow, very noble and lofty. A moonlight white waistband girdled her waist, tied into a butterfly knot in the back, making her willow waist seem slim, all that is lovely and dainty. Hair that was loose fell to her waist was still slightly beading with water droplets. Following the figures gentle swaying, transluscent and glimmering. Calmly and unhurried, she simply stood there, graceful and refined, elegant and lofty, absolutely blinding!
Suddenly, Lan You Nian felt her hand being tightly gripped by Feng Yi Xuan under the table a little painfully. Lan You Nian broke off her gaze from Yue Bai Lian and looking confusedly at Feng Yi Xuan, asking, Xuan, whats wrong?
Feng Yi Xuan realized that he probably didnt control his strength and frantically massaged Lan You Nians little hand. Watching the red marks on Lan You Nians small hand disappearing, he finally looked at Lan You Nian with displeasure, You said I am very good looking!
Right! Lan You Nian nodded. What she said was the total truth. Because Feng Yi Xuan was normally apathetic, he seemed to be austere but when he was gentle towards her, he was like a bewitching demon. Lan You Nian thought if Feng Yi Xuan wanted to bewitch people, there probably wasnt any person who can escape it.
You said I had a great body! Feng Yi Xuan continued but didnt cross the line. The twos voice were low, others wont be able to hear, otherwise Lan You Nian would be so embarrassed she wont be able to face people.
Lan You Nian rolled her eyes. It was an uncouth action yet being enacted by Lan You Nian, it was cute and straightforward. Then those people in the pce hall who were focused on her all knowingly revealed a grin. It was this side of Lan You Nian that made others so fond of her.
Right! Lan You Nian nodded. Then, finally understanding what this was about, she scowled at Feng Yi Xuan, Dont eat vinegar for no reason! Only now does she realize what Feng Yi Xuan meant. He was saying he was good looking and had a great body, so she shouldnt even look at other people, really too overbearing, but at the same time, it was cutely overbearing!
Feng Yi Xuan coughed, bashfully grinning. He was only eating vinegar. Sometimes he couldnt control his possessiveness over Nian Nian. What he can be certain of is that as long as Nian Nian still loved him, still apanied him, he wouldnt do anything outrageous and unreasonable.
Sixth imperial brother and Miss Lans rtionship is very good. Dont know if you will continue to pamper Miss Lan in the future? a cute voice drifted over, causing Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian to both frown and face the approaching person.
Feng Guan Lian, like the younger sister next door, stood in front of Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian, gazing at Lan You Nian with admiration. From all angles, she was a cute girl. Who would have imagined that such a girl would be so lewd behind peoples back!
Feng Yi Xuan, originally, didnt bother with answering. Lan You Nian gazed at Feng Guan Lian who was portraying herself to be extremely naive and faintly smiled, but that smile didnt possess any warmth, Who can determine the future? Third princess worries too much!
Feng Guan Lian seemed not to hear the meaning behind Lan You Nians words. She looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Sixth brother, is Miss Lan your official consort? On the second day, the imperial decree only said it was decreeing an engagement. It didnt state explicitly whether Lan You Nian was the official consort or side consort.
How can Lan You Nian not understand what Feng Guan Lian meant? But she believed in Feng Yi Xuan. Such provocation couldnt cause her any upset. However towards these people who wanted to incite disharmony in their rtionship, Lan You Nian wont be forgiving.
Just as everyone thought how Feng Yi Xuan will answer, whether Lan You Nian was official consort or side consort, Feng Yi Xuan stood up, tugging on Lan You Nians hands dering, I Feng Yi Xuan, whether it is in the past or in the future, will only have one woman, Lan You Nian. Ming wangfu will only have one mistress! Feng Yi Xuans voice emitted a sinister frost, an air of arrogance was awe-inspiring, making people unable to look at it directly, as if him just standing there, was born to be revered by others.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. What did they hear? Ming wang will only have one woman? That is to say, Ming wang will not ept any other woman, nor will he allow any woman to enter Ming wangfu. How great of an honor was this! Many women stared enviously at Lan You Nian. In their life, what does a woman long for? They only wish for a constant lover. But there are too many heartless men in the world. Yet Feng Yi Xuan was able to say such words, more or less it made many of thedies envious.
Lan You Nian, upon hearing Feng Yi Xuans words, suddenly felt as if her heart was injected with a warm current. Looking at the man standing beside her like a heavenly god, Lan You Nian thought no matter how this love ended, she will have no regrets!
Hua Xiu Yi felt some admiration for Feng Yi Xuan for saying such words. He suddenly understood a bit why such a wonderful girl will stand beside Feng Yi Xuan. But just because he understood doesnt mean he will give up.
Feng Xia Qi saw his younger brother pledge his love and suddenly felt gratified and mncholy. Let it be like this. His younger brother can attain happiness. Only AXuan can give Nianer meimei such joy. They were a pair matched by Heaven!
Feng Yi Xuan, finished his pledge, pulled Lan You Nian back to their seats. Concerning these words, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt at all surprised. From the very start of him meeting Nian Nian, he has never thought of having another woman. Him admitting it out loud was only because he didnt want Nian Nian to be aggrieved hearing other peoples idle chatter. He wanted his Nian Nian to be the most happiest woman.
In private, everyone quietly debated Feng Yi Xuans words. Many people thought only a woman such a Lan You Nian deserved Ming wangs treatment. However, there were many more people who thought Feng Yi Xuan did a bold thing. But then everyone recalled Ming wang was never fond of women before, and so the debate cooled. Many people believed Ming wang wasnt fond of women because he has never encountered such a peerless woman like Lan You Nian.
Meanwhile, Feng Guan Lian who was standing in front of Feng Yi Xuan wore an expression that couldnt be described as good. Originally, she couldnt get used to Feng Yi Xuans pampering of Lan You Nian so she wanted to stir disharmony between the two. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan would straightforwardly p her face. Recalling tonights n, Feng Guan Lians face recovered a lot. After tonight, Feng Yi Xuan will be the man everyone spat on! Dont me her for scheming against her imperial brother. Its all because Feng Yi Xuan has never cared about her, his imperial sister!
Chapter 168 - Farewell Feast (2)
168 Farewell Feast (2)
Xuan, have you noticed something not right about Feng Guan Lian? Lan You Nian watched Feng Guan Lian leave with suspicion. Although Feng Guan Lian concealed it very well, Lan You Nian still noticed the momentary hatred and then smugness after having thought of something.
Em, thats indeed true! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. Besides being a little dumb concerning Nian Nians matters, in other things, he was incredibly astute.
It seems like besides a plot against Bai Lian, there is also a plot against us! Lan You Nians voice was chilly, her eyes inundated with a ck eddy that seems to suck people in.
Lan You Nian considered the Feng Guan Lian in the distance who seemed to be in a good mood. What she heard that night with Feng Yi Xuan was that today Feng Shao Chu was going to ruin Bai Lians innocence. That way, Bai Lian had no choice but to marry Feng Shao Chu. A woman whos lost her innocence had no right to speak. However Lan You Nian noticed Feng Shao Chu and his people seemed to have nned something. From the looks of it, it was targeting Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuans hand that gripped Lan You Nians hand twitched, reassuring her, Nian Nian dont worry, I will protect you! Feng Yi Xuan gently gazed upon the girl by his side. In the past, he didnt care about those plots and schemes so hes never taken it to heart but now that he had a girl he loved, he wont allow others to harm Nian Nian, nor would he allow himself to be hurt.
Emperor Feng Xuan sat down with the Empress. Everyone started to exchange pleasantries with the delegates of the foreign empires, wishing them a good journey. The Emperor was the monarch of an empire after all, after walking the formalities, he left with Eunuch Lu.
Yue Bai Lian apprised Emperor Feng Xuan that she will stay in Feng Empire for a while to experience Feng Empires local customs, especially to get to know some of Feng Empires young masters to pick a husband of mutual affection. Yue Empires peace marriage card was also handed over to Feng Empire. Yue Bai Lians marriage alliance was a certainty, simply the person hasnt been selected. This gave Yue Bai Lian some time and space to pick a husband ording to her wishes.
During this time, Yue Bai Lian drank some of the imperial wine on the low table. Yue Bai Lian took a sip of the fine wine, her lips curled upwards. If master didnt inform her, she feared she really would have fallen into their plot. After all, she never thought Lin daren who was sitting beside her and Feng Empires second wangye were somehow connected.
Yue Bai Lian nced at Lin daren. This cup of wine was offered to her by Lin daren. If she didnt eat the detoxification pill given to her beforehand by master, she really will lose her innocence today, allowing these people to manipte her.
Yue Bai Lians expression seemed a little fatigued and tired. Lin daren smugly revealed an inconspicuous grin, then with much concern he said to Yue Bai Lian, Princess whats wrong? You dont look well!
Yue Bai Lian touched her forehead, her eyes a little misty, This princess doesnt know why but I feel tired. Im afraid I havent rested well these few days. Thank you Lin daren for your concern.
Caring for princess is this subjects duty. It wouldnt be suitable for princess to continue attending the banquet. How about you follow the pce maid to find a ce to rest first! Lin daren said worriedly then gave a look to the pce maids who were pouring the wine.
Yue Bai Lian tried hard to keep her eyes open but there wasnt any effect, gratefully smiled saying to Lin daren, This princess will go down to rest and wont send off Lin daren. Wish Lin daren a good journey! Yue Bai Lian then allowed the two pce maids to help her leave the pce hall.
Lan You Nian saw Yue Bai Lian leave then to Feng Yi Xuan said, Xuan, I will go look! There cant be any error in this matter. If any idents happened, Lan You Nian knew exactly what awaits Yue Bai Lian so she must personally deal with it for her heart to ease.
En! Feng Yi Xuan nodded.
Lan You Nian was a little poor on words. Her little fingers hooked onto Feng Yi Xuans slightly rough palms, fluttering her watery eyes, Xuan, then you let go of your hand ah! Otherwise how can I go? Lan You Nian fingers lightly scratched Feng Yi Xuans palm.
Feng Yi Xuan was unwilling to release the hand in his grasp. He actually wanted to hug Nian Nian however on such an asion, though he wasnt afraid of the gossip, he didnt want other people speak badly of Nian Nian so he only held Nian Nians hand. Now the little fingers were fiddling in his palm, the small fingers hitched to his palm seemed to be scratching his heart. Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips. The longer he was with Nian Nian, the more he couldnt control himself. He was really afraid one day he will be ovee by his feelings and possess this tormenting little sprite.
Feng Yi Xuan feared Lan you Nian would continue to scratch and he wouldnt be able to stop himself from kissing her so he can only reluctantly release the small hand in his palms, then instructed, Come back soon, and, dont walk too close to that woman!
Lan You Nian shrank back her fingers, then nodded, I know! I promise!
Though Feng Yi Xuan was a little jealous, he didnt like Nian Nian concerned about other people, but Feng Yi Xuan knew no matter what kind of Nian Nian, he loves each and every one. So he only grumbled about it, not preventing Nian Nian from doing the things she wants to do.
Lan You Nian quietly left the feast. As soon as Lan You Nian left, Feng Yi Xuans entire presence cooled down. If Feng Xia Qi wasnt sitting beside him, if it were any other people, they wouldnt be able to stand such a freezing aura.
Yue Bai Lian was helped by the two pce maids into a pce hall. The two pce maids jostled Yue Bai Lian, softly calling, Princess Bai Lian? Princess Bai Lian? Seeing Yue Bai Lian seemed to be deeply asleep, the two pce maids released a sigh of relief and withdrew from the room.
When the two pce maids retreated from the room, Yue Bai Lians eyes snapped open. At this moment, someone jumped in front the window outside.
Nianer? Yue Bai Lian eximed in surprise seeing Lan You Nian appear in the room, Why are you here? Lan You Nian told her everything that was to happen today and she was already prepared so what happens next will go ording to Lan You Nians ns.
I wasnt reassured so I came to look! Lan You Nian said, then detained Yue Bai Lians wrist to take her pulse. After a while, she sighed in relief, Youre fine. They only gave you ordinary softening muscle powder. Because you ingested the detoxification pill beforehand, youre fine!
En! Yue Bai Lians heart was moved by Lan You Nians concern and thought perhaps being considered a friend was the best ending. As a friend, she can hold a space in her heart, much better than being a stranger. Yue Bai Lianforted herself inside.
Have you picked your choice? Lan You Nian asked. Since Feng Shao Chu wants to copte so much, why dont she grant his wish? Simply the person he will be sleeping with will be a different person. Lan You Nian thought she was kind-hearted.
En! Chosen! One of my handmaidens. She is sent by Imperial Father to keep tabs on me! Yue Bai Lians eyes chilled. Since Imperial Father sent her for the marriage allow, how can he not be prepared? Imperial Father probably wanted her to be his chess piece in Feng Empire. Her Imperial Father didnt know that she never considered Yue Empire her own mothend. She will not allow her Imperial Father to continue manipting her.
The person? Lan You Nian asked. Lan You Nian was pleased by Yue Bai Lians maneuver. Being someone taught by Wu Qing Pavilion, she was indeed ruthless. If Bai Lian was as frail as she appeared on the surface, LAn you Nian wouldnt let Bai Lian take charge of Xiao Jin Pavilion.
Yue Bai Lian told Lan You Nian where her handmaiden was. Lan You Nian left for a moment then carried in an unconscious woman into the room. The pce maids outside were already lured away by Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian tossed this maid in the ground, very disdainfully took out a handkerchief to wipe her fingers. She thought if Feng Yi Xuan knew she carried a woman over such a long distance, he will definitely throw her into a bathing pool to wash several times.
Yue Bai Lian poured a cup of water for Lan You Nian then dragged her handmaiden onto the bed, tucked her in then breathlessly sat down to drink some water, thinking that she seemed to like doing bad things more and more.
The twos eyes met. Two peerlessly beautiful womens face hung a mischievous smile. If people saw, they will definitely be enraptured by these two. Lan You Nian felt being friends with Bai Lian was a happy event. Because Bai Lians personality was well suited with her own. In the past, she and Hua Mu Qing were good friends, and now Hua Mu Qing has be her saozi (older brothers wife). Bai Lian gave Lan You Nian the feeling of a friend or girlfriend.
Yue Bai Lian was currently thinking she was already very happy to be able to stay beside Lan You Nian like this. If she wanted to continue to stay by her side, she must either let go of the feelings in her heart or hide these feelings very deeply. Yue Bai Lian already decided to stay with Lan You Nian as her friend. Seeing Ming wangs doting on Lan You Nian, Yue Bai Lian wholeheartedly gave her blessings...
Lan You Nian handed over a cut of spice to Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian didnt ask what Lan You Nian wanted to do, picked up the spice and put it in the incense burner in the room. Finished with this, Lan You Nian tugged Yue Bai Lian out of the room.
When Lan You Nian returned to the grand hall, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan was no longer present. Lan You Nian swept over the entire hall and noticed Feng Shao Chu wasnt there either. This was normal for Lan You Nian knew what Feng Shao Chu went to do. But the fact Feng Guan Lian wasnt there either was unexpected. Especially as Lan You Nian noticed the Empresss eyes shed with malice and excitement.
Brother Xia Qi, wheres Xuan? Lan You Nian lowered her voice asking Feng Xia Qi who was sitting above FEng Yi Xuan.
Feng Xia Qi frowned, I dont know. But there was a pce maid who said something to Xuan, then AXuan left! Feng Xia Qi looked at the anxious Lan You Nianforting her, You dont need to worry too much. AXuan is smart, he wont fall into their trap. All these years, they havent been able to do anything to AXuan!
Lan You Nian despite knowing Feng Xia Qi was right, and being aware of Feng Yi Xuans abilities, but perhaps because loving a person was like this, Lan You Nian knew all this but couldnt help worry. Lan You Nian sat for a while and when Feng Yi Xuan didnt return yet, she stood up, said something to Feng Xia Qi then left the grand hall.
Feng Shao Chu wore a smile as he walked into one wing behind the grand hall, thinking of Yue Bai Lians beautiful face and luscious figure, Feng Shao Chu couldnt bear it any longer. As a prince, hes seen plenty of beauties. The most beautiful he saw was Lan manors Lan You Nian. Its a pity that shes been taken by that Feng Yi Xuan. However this Yue Bai Lian is a rare beauty, as well as a princess. Feng Shao Chu thought he can use Yue Bai Lian to obtain many advantages, feeling pleased inside.
Feng Shao Chu approached the previously arranged room and didnt see any of the pce maids from Empress Mothers pce however Feng Shao Chu knew there was only one chance. Their plot this time was seamless, no one could have known. Feng Shao Chu walked into the room having set his mind to rest.
As soon as he walked into the room, Feng Shao Chu seemed to have caught a waft of some fragrance. Feng Shao Chu has lived in the imperial pce for many years and was instantly vignt. However, how can Medical Valleys drug allow Feng Shao Chu a chance wake up?
Feng Shao Chu felt his body be hot then saw the woman lying in bed with her back to him. Feng Shao Chus remaining morsel of reason told him that was Yue Bai Lian, the woman he wanted to possess today. Feng Shao Chu submitted to his bodys desire and walked over to the bed....
Chapter 169 - Anger and Guilt
169 Anger and Guilt
secretdreamwishes
Lan You Nian used qingqing to its ultimate level, eluding the pce maids and guards roaming around, searching from the rooftop of each room one by one for Feng Yi Xuan in the Imperial Pce. There were so many wings, Lan You Nian couldnt search on a grand scale. Searching for a while, Lan You Nian has yet to find Feng Yi Xuan.
What made Lan You Nian worried was that that due to theing of the foreign delegates, the guards on duty in the pce have been increased and strengthened. Thus, Feng Yi xuan didnt bring along any hidden guards. If there was some kind of incident, he wouldnt have an assistant. The more she thought about it, the more Lan You Nian worried.
Just as Lan You Nian was about to lose all her patience, she finally found Feng Yi Xuan in one of the wings. However the situation inside caused Lan You Nian to be devoured by the impulse to kill....
Feng Yi Xuan, after Lan You Nian left, kept gazing at the wine cup in his hand, as if the wine cup in his hand was more pleasing to the eye than the alluring women flooding the grand hall. The cold air surrounding Feng Yi Xuan made many of the woman not dare to approach. Clearly they just saw such a gentle Ming wang, but in a blink of an eye, Ming wang recollected his past appearance.
Feng Yi Xuan felt that after Nian Nian left, the time was trudging by especially slow. Remembering that Nian Nian was with Yue Bai Lian right now, Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart was stuffed tightly and felt he should have went with Nian Nian.
Sixth wangye! A pce maid came over to Feng Yi Xuans seating, keeping a distance of five to six steps between them. Because the people in the pce, in fact everyone, knows Feng Yi Xuan didnt allow other women to appear by his side. Now one has appeared, that is the future Ming wangfei.
Feng Yi Xuan raised his eyes to look at the pce maid. The pce maid trembled. Feng Yi Xuans eyes were too icy, as if there was a world of ice and snow permeating through it. His gaze on her didnt have any warmth. The pce maid clenched her teeth, steadying her emotions.
Miss Lan had this vee find wangye! the pce maid bowed her head, not daring to look into Feng Yi Xuans eyes, afraid she will expose any loopholes.
As soon as the pce maids words fell in his ears, Feng Yi Xuan asked, What did you say? Feng Yi Xuans voice was emotionless but hid countless sharpness, like a sharp de that was about to shoot out of its sheath, waiting to demolish the enemy. He was suspicious of this pce maids words and from the pce maids fear, Feng Yi Xuan knew this pce maid was lying.
The pce maids entire body trembled, taking out a jade hairpin but the pce maid had yet to say anything before the jade hairpin was snatched by Feng Yi Xuan.
Sixth wangye, this was entrusted by Miss Lan to this ve. Miss Lan said she is facing some troubles and asks Ming wang to go over! the pce maid hung her head very low, but expressed the meaning very clearly, that is Lan You Nian is in trouble and needs Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan stroked the jade hairpin in his hand. Feng Yi Xuan knew very clearly this jade hairpin belonged to Nian Nian. Because all of Nian Nians clothing and essories was taken care of by him personally. This jade hairpin was indeed Nian Nians.
Lead the way! Feng Yi Xuan stated coldly then left with the pce maid. It wasnt that Feng Yi Xuan didnt know this was evidently a trap but Nian Nian has yet to return. Feng Yi Xuan can gamble with anyones life but only, he cant gamble with Nian Nians. Even if the possibility was one in a million, Feng Yi Xuan didnt dare gamble.
Feng Yi Xuan followed the pce maid to a room. As soon as Feng Yi Xuan entered the room, he smelled a strange fragrance. Feng Yi Xuan immediately adjusted and stabilized his breathing as he looked at the woman in the room. This woman Feng Yi Xuan was familiar with.
Sixth imperial brother really likes that Miss Lan! Feng Guan Lian used her hand tob through her long hair,ughing maniacly at the indifferent Feng Yi Xuan. Where is there the cuteness in front of others, You clearly know this is probably a trap yet you stille? Should imperial sister say sixth imperial brother has big guts or say sixth imperial brother is a rare fool in love.
Nian Nian isnt here! Feng Yi Xuan said with certainty. Actually from the very start, Feng Yi Xuan knew this was a trap but anything rted to Nian Nian, even if it was a trap, he muste over to take a look. If something truly happened to Nian Nian, he cane to Nian Nians side as soon as possible. And now seeing Nian Nian wasnt here, Feng Yi Xuan sighed in relief and turned to leave the room.
Haha! You think you can leave? Feng Guan Lian giggled, the sound gave Feng Yi Xuan the urge to gag. In Feng Yi Xuans ears, only Lan You Niansugh was the most pleasant.
My good sixth imperial brother, do you know what you have been drugged with? It is an extremely potent aphrodisiac ah! But rest assured, it wont be long before you will regain consciousness. When you regain consciousness, youll find you have sullied your own imperial sister. With so many eyes seeing, say, in the future, the well-reknowned Ming wang will be loathed by how many people? Im afraid youll be the most shameless person in the world! Feng Guan Lianughed.
Feng Guan Lian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who didnt show any hint of panic and felt a sliver of hear in her heart but more than that, it was the fantasy of overthrowing Feng Yi Xuan. Originally, their n was simply to pull Yue Bai Lian to their faction but thinking that their biggest enemy was Feng Yi Xuan, they came up with a bold n. They first stole Lan You Nians hairpin. Originally, they nned to lure Lan You Nian out of the pce hall but didnt expect Lan You Nian to leave herself so they used this to lure Feng Yi Xuan over. The aphrodisiac in the room was custom-made to confuse a persons mind but it doesntst long. When Feng Yi Xuan divests himself of his clothes, coincidentally, the Empress will bring people over. With the eyes of the masses fixed on him, the matter of Feng Yi Xuan wanting to vite his imperial sister cant be concealed, even Imperial Father cant defend Feng Yi Xuan.
Haha, sixth imperial brother, after today, this princess doesnt need to call you sixth imperial brother! Feng Guan Lian giggled, then prepared to take off her own clothes.
But Feng Yi Xuan didnt spare Feng Guan Lian a nce. He simply turned around to head outside.
You think you can leave? Feng Guan Lian said calmly, however she was perplexed by why the drug hasnt taken effect yet. Ordinary people would have long sumbed to the drug and pounced, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt look affected at all.
Is that so? a voice like waters melody sounded, then the door of the room was thrust open from outside. Feng Yi Xuans aura transformedpletely, bing infinitely gentle.
Lan You Nian was enraged from eavesdropping in on Feng Guan Lians words. She didnt expect Feng Guan Lian was so shameless to use such a method to deal with Feng Yi Xuan. They are capable of doing such a thing that doesnt abide by moral human rtions, and to her own man, it cannot be tolerated!
As soon as Lan You Nian mmed open the door of the room, Feng Yi Xuan came over to Lan You Nians side, pulling Lan You Nian into his arms.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuans voice was chilly but Lan You Nian can still hear that Feng Yi Xuan has indeed been drugged by the aphrodisiac. Its a pity that Feng Guan Lian and those other people dont know, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel any bodily impulses towards other people. Even if hes been drugged, he wont betray her but if Feng Yi Xuan wasnt cured in time, it might harm his bodys foundation and leave behind roots of the affliction. Fortunately, she finally found Feng Yi Xuan.
Are you alright? Lan You Nian asked. Feng Yi Xuan already inhaled the aphrodisiac powder but Lan You Nian can sense that beofre she came into the room, Feng Yi Xuan was wide awake but as soon as she appeared, Feng Yi Xuans breathing became unsteady.
Lan You Nian didnt know what she was feeling. On one hand, the fact that Feng Yi Xuan only desired her, only treated her like this, Lan You Nian was very happy but seeing Feng Yi Xuan who would rather hurt himself to keep a clear mind, Lan You Nians heart ached.
How is it possible? How can he be fine? Feng Guan Lian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who hasnt acted impulsively nor has he lost his reason in disbelief.
Hmph! Lan You Nian took out a cleansing heart pill for Feng Yi Xuan to take. The strangeness in Feng Yi Xuans body improved. Feng Yi Xuan looked at Feng Guan Lian who stood there in disbelief, his eyes icy with enmity.
Feng Guan Lian was stared down by Feng Yi Xuans cold eyes, her body shuddered, only feeling the air around her was sealed by frost, even the temperature cooled, as if as long as she continued talking, the frost will permeate into her body, freezing every inch of her.
After Lan You Nian knocked out Feng Guan Lian, she hastily did a check on Feng Yi Xuans body. Feng Yi Xuans breathing was much steadier after taking the cleansing heart pill. For the time being, hes fine. He only needs to take the antidote afterwards.
Howe youre here? Lan You Nians tone was a little angry. Although she believed Feng Yi Xuan wont do anything to betray her, but if something happened to Feng Yi Xuan, she didnt dare even think about it. She didnt know what she would do.
Feng Yi Xuan could sense Lan You Nian was angry but Feng Yi Xuan didnt understand why Lan You Nian was angry so Feng Yi Xuan could only answer truthfully, Someone had your jade hairpin. I was afraid you were really in trouble so I came!
Lan You Nian didnt expect it was for this reason, thinking it makes sense, if it wasnt because of her, ording to Feng Yi Xuans disposition, why would hee here?
Sorry... Lan You Nian took the initiative to hug Feng Yi Xuans toned waist. Because she was worried about Feng Yi Xuan and because Feng Yi Xuans long-time unconditional pampering of her, she developed a little temper. So in her anxiousness, she grew angry at Feng Yi Xuan, even her tone contained a fury she wasnt aware of. Lan You Nian felt that she really has been spoiled by Feng Yi Xuan to the point she wasnt bound by the heavens or thew. Everything he did was for her yet she didnt show any understanding to him. Lan You Nian felt she was in the wrong.
Feng Yi Xuan was aware of Lan You Nians feelings. He picked up Lan You Nian who hung her little hung guiltily, then lifted Lan You Nians chin, making Lan You Nians eyes look at him, Nian Nian, never tell me sorry, everything you do is right!
Xuan.... Lan You Nian didnt know what she should say. It was such a perfect Feng Yi Xuan, such a Feng Yi Xuan who pampered her, that moved Lan You Nians heart. It seemed she came over from the other world, it was for this man.
I understand! Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians forehead, the kiss was both sincere and contained an infinite tenderness. Everything he does, he did willingly. He is willing to do anything for Nian Nian, bear any consequence. Even if it was it painful, as long as it was given by Nian Nian, that was still happiness.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian didnt seem to feel guilty anymore, his heart became increasingly distressed. He made Nian Nian worry. Feng Yi Xuan gently lowered his head, his palm lightly cradled Lan You Nians head, and lowered his head to nt a kiss. He gently pried open her lips, like a tornado, kissing tyrannically, deeply kissing over and over again, savoring all her wonders.
The kiss was over. Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian as his palm stroked Lan You Nian to steady her breathing. Lan You Nian was slumped against Feng Yi Xuans chest. Lan You Nian felt this embrace was very warm. It was a kind of warmth that made people attached. Very close by was a mans heavy breathing, the warm and capable palm currently transferred his warmth little by little into her heart, making Lan You Nians heart at peace.
Chapter 170 - Farewell Feast (3)
170 Farewell Feast (3)
The feast was still in progress. Song and dance continued ying. The Empress who was sitting above was a little distracted. Seeing neither his son Feng Shao Chu or Yue Bai Lian in the hall, as well as Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Guan Lian, even Lan You Nian wasnt present, the Empress peered at her cherry red nails, her lips curled into a smile.
All these years, no matter what she did, shes never walked into the Emperors heart. His Majestys heart was always filled with that already dead woman as well as the two sons she left behind. No matter how outstanding her son was or how hardworking, His Majesty doesnt spare him a nce. Meanwhile to that womans children, His Majesty made an effort to protect and love them.
Lets not talk about Feng Xia Qi, His Majesty was especially indulgent of that monster Feng Yi Xuan. That Feng Yi Xuan had a devilish pair of eyes yet His Majesty sealed up that news, not allowing anyone to discuss this matter. Not only did Feng Yi Xuan possessed military power that everybody desired, His Majesty tolerated Feng Yi Xuan doing anything. Thinking of this, the Empress was in a fury. In the past, she didnt know how much energy she spent to get rid of Feng Yi Xuan but in the end, it didnt bear any fruit. This time, even if she didnt kill Feng Yi Xuan, she will make him a demon condemned by everyone.
It was at this moment, the Empress saw Feng Yi Xuan who she thought was fallen into her trap and Lan You Nian. The Empress was a little panicked as she scanned the hall but didnt find feng Guan Lian. How can this be? At this moment, Lan You Nian raised her eyes to look at the Empress. She was smiling, like a narcissus flower that just bloomed, clean and pure but her deep eyes shed with a chilly malice of frost as if a thousand year old iceberg that hasnt melted was sealed off in her eyes, so cold it gave people chills.
The Empresss gaze was evasive under Lan You Nians gaze. She was now certain Feng Guan Lian wasnt sessful. This Lan You Nian wasnt someone one should easily offend. Such a gaze seemed to be the exact match with Feng Yi Xuans.
Lan You Nian saw the Empress didnt even dare to look at her and her lips curled into a sneer. The Empresss faction wanted to vie for this throne, it wasnt wrong but their greatest wrong was that they schemed against her Xuan. No one can can break them apart!
Nian Nian, dont get angry! Feng Yi Xuan skinned a fruit for Lan You Nian then dotingly said, They cant bounce around for long! All these years, they kept breaking the Empresss factions ws and fangs. In the past, he wasnt strong enough, so he only silently bore it, but now he can destroy the Empresss faction.
Lan You Nian received the fruit nodding, while pondering on another matter...Feng Yi Xuans martial arts was formidable but the worlds poisons can caught people unawares. She didnt wish to see Feng Yi Xuan harmed. Then afterwards, she must help Feng Yi Xuan improve his constitution. She can be more reassured in the future.
Nian Nian, whats wrong? Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian was only holding the fruit and not eating it and asked strangely.
Nothing. Ill tell youter! Lan You Nian inserted the fruit into her cherry red mouth, smiling in reply.
Lan You Nian nced at Feng Xia Qi who was sitting above them, softly saying, Brother Xia Qi, in a while, I need you to put on a show. Lan You Nians grin was a gloating over others cmity. After all, only Feng Xia Qi was most suitable for this role. She didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to do such nonsensical things.
What bad things did you guys do? Feng Xia Qi asked with a little excitement. Dont me him for thinking this, honestly everytime his younger brother and Nianer meimei were together, as long as there were those who didnt grow any eyes offended the, they will definitely be devised some miserable ending while he would be sent out to stir up the situation, or that is to add more vtile ammunition.
Brother Xia Qi has made me and Xuan viinous! How could we scheme against others? Xuan, am I right? Lan You Nian shamelessly revealed a pure smile, anyone who saw would feel Lan You Nian was a beautiful and kind girl. Who knew this girl had a stomachful of bad water.
Whatever Nian Nian says! Feng Yi Xuan unconditionally supported his little woman.
Feng Xia Qi knew his younger brother waspletely on Lan You Nians side. Whatever Lan You Nian said, he would agree. You cant see anymore of the indifferent like ice towards the opposite sex in the past.
Alright alright, I know. It seems Im quite useful! Feng Xia Qi drank a cup of imperial wine saying narcissistically. It seems every time some incident happened, it was he who dealt with the situation. After all, who let these people all were not talkative!
Lan You Nian ate the fruit Feng Yi Xuan skinned for her while disinterestedly waiting for Bai Lian. Inside she was wondering why Bai Lian hasnte yet. She was a little sleepy. If she didnte yet, she didnt have any interest to continue watching.
Just as Lan You Nian struggled with whether she should go back or continue to wait, Bai Lian appeared. But manner in which she appeared caused the grape in Lan You Nians mouth to nearly choke her. Fortunately, Feng Yi Xuans attention was fixed on Lan You Nian, thus excusing her from losing herposure in the hall.
Yue Bai Lians clothes was messy with soil and her hair was slightly disheveled. Her face streamed with tears. She looked delicate and helpless. This can impassion a mans protectiveness even more. As Lan You Nian expected, many young masters in the hall anxiously asked Yue Bai Lian what happened.
Lan You Nians lips twitched saying to Feng Yi Xuan, I just wanted her to lure people over to where Feng Shao Chu is. I didnt expect she created such a stir. The young shows promise! ording to the Empresss n, no one would know about Feng Shao Chu and Yue Bai Lians affair because as long as Yue Bai Lian was taken, Yue Bai Lian will definitely have the Emperor grant a marriage. Wasnt this so much better nor would it affect Feng Shao Chus reputation.
From the start, the Empresss faction decided to lure the person to Feng Guan Lians wing, letting everyone see Feng Yi Xuans out of control. The aphrodisiac powder would be just about lost its influence, Feng Yi Xuan will wake up. Then, Feng Yi Xuan can not escape everyones scorn.
However, no matter how good the Empresss ns are, she didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to return to the hall safe and sound. She hasnt figured out where something has gone wrong and noticed Yue Bai Lian stumbling into the hall.
The Empress was stunned believing her son to have already sullied Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lians temper was too headstrong to actually run over here toin without a care to her reputation. Although the Empress was anxious but thinking even so, the only result is her son marrying Yue Bai Lian as official consort.
Aiya, whats wrong with Princess Bai Lian? Feng Xia Qi knew that Lan You Nian and his younger brother was responsible for this the moment he saw Yue Bai Lian however he knew Nianer meimei seemed to consider Princess Bai Lian as a friend so Feng Xia Qi who was to stir up the situation unleashed his use and walked down his seat to support Yue Bai Lian.
Princess Bai Lian doesnt need to fear. If something has happened, just tell us. Feng Empire will give you an exnation! Feng Xia Qi saw the Empress was about to say something so he directly interjected. He liked to see the Empresss defeated look the most.
This princess wants to see His Majesty! Please ask fourth wangye to grant! Yue Bai Lian said. Towards this fourth wangye, Yue Bai Lian knew of a little. That day she went to Ming wangs tent, this fourth wangye was present. Towards her feelings, he didnt show any contempt. Just based on this point, Yue Bai Lian felt fourth wangye was a pretty good person.
If something has happened, Princess Bai Lian should tell us. His Majesty has to attend to numerous affairs everyday. Its not necessary to rm His Majesty. This empress is the matriarch of this empire. If Princess Bai Lian has something, you can tell this empress just as well! the Empress said. After all if Yue Bai Lian really wanted to file aint, she can intercept it and directly offer a marriage.
The Empresss words are incorrect! Feng Xia Qi gestured at the head eunuch then said, Princess Bai Lian is Yue empires princess, a dignitary for this exchange meeting. Now Princess Bai Lian suffered wrong in my Feng Empire, this is the two empires matter, besides... Feng Xia Qis gaze was sharp as he looked at the Empress, The imperial harem cannot interfere with political affairs!
This one phrase the imperial harem cannot interfere with political matters stifled all of the Empresss words on the way. Feng Xia Qi already stated this was a matter between the two empires, not the harems concern. Though she was the Empress, she no longer had any power to question.
Ask Imperial Father toe over! Feng Xia Qi said to the head eunuch. This head eunuch was from Feng Xia Qis person in the pce. One had to say all these years, Feng Xia Qis forces in the pce has been expanding very well. Feng Yi Xuan had military power in his hands while he had the literary officials and people connections.
The Empress gave a look to her pce maid. She still hasnt seen her son and felt it was strange so she had the pce maid go take a look, at the same time informing her son, that way they can prepare to shirk off responsibility.
However, the Empresss movement was noticed by Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian. Feng Yi Xuan looked at Jing Wu An cooly. Jing Wu An helplessly left the hall silently and knocked the pce maid unconscious. Jing Wu An really cant predict Feng Yi Xuans thoughts anymore. Just two days ago, Yu Liu Li was beaten by Feng Yi Xuan. Yu Liu Li asked Feng Yi Xuan why he hit him, Feng Yi Xuan actually said that all Yu Liu Li said was wrong. Even now they dont understand.
How could Yu Liu Li them know, thats all because Feng Yi Xuanplimented Lan You Nian for her good figure the other day and made Nian Nian angry so he found someone to vent his anger.
In a short while, Emperor Feng Xuan arrived in the hall with Eunuch Lu. The Emperor truly felt his age. Being tossed around by these children, one day hell probably be finished by all this tossing. But no matter what, he must give his throne to his fourth son.
What happened? Emperor Feng Xuan asked directly. Actually, on the way, he heard some already but he still needed to pretend.
Your Majesty! Yue Bai Lian directly fell to her knees in the hall.
Whats happened Princess Bai Lian? Eunuch Lu, help Princess Bai Lian up! the Emperor said. Hes investigated this Princess Bai Lian many times and felt such a woman was well-matched with fourth son. He hoped his sixth son can start a family and this Princess Bai Lian was a good matriarch of a country.
Yue Bai Lian was helped up by Eunuch Lu, then said, Please ask Your Majesty to give this priness justice. This princess was just tired and so brought my maids to a wing to rest, but I didnt expect...didnt expect... Yue Bai Lian choked on her sobs.
Lan You Nian gave Yue Bai Lian a look. She acted too well. If she didnt know any better, she would believe something had happened to her.
I didnt expect Feng countrys second wangye took advantage of being drunk and imposed himself on this princesss maid. Under such circumstances, this princess ran out in a panic. Please ask Your Majesty to save this princesss maid. That is a pure and innocent woman ah! Yue Bai Lian cried with upset.
Preposterous! Feng Xia Qi eximed angrily, Imperial Father, let this subject son bring second wangye out and save Princess Bai Lians maid as soon as possible!
The Emperor looked at his fourth son. How can he not see the excitement and eagerness in his fourth sons eyes. It seems this matter can not be removed of responsibility. Perhaps it wont be long before he can wipe out the Empresss faction.
En, go! The Emperor said. And now the Empress realizes they paid with the wife and lost the soldiers (T/N: idiot for suffering double losses). However, the Empress couldnt understand how Feng Yi Xuan and them could have known about this. It was carried out very secretively.
When Feng Xia Qi brought guards arresting the disheveled Feng Shao Chu as well as that disheveled maid into the hall, everyone knew what happened. They didnt expect second wangye to be so lustful.
Imperial Father! Feng Shao Chu knelt in the hall. He knew was checkmated by Yue Bai Lian and the others. He didnt even have the chance to make excuses, This is all the fault of subject son being drunk! Please ask Imperial Father to pardon subject son!
He just forced himself on a maid thats all. Such a thing to them was insignificant andmon. Feng Shao Chu knew this wasnt the time to make excuses, otherwise if he anger Imperial Father, he will probably suffer a severe punishment.
Emperor Feng Xuan helplessly nced at the handsome Feng Xia Qi and indifferent Feng Yi Xuan. Though he approved of the two sons suppressing Empresss faction, but no matter what, the foreign delegates were all present, cant they do this a little more covertly? Making he the Emperor have no where to put his face.
The maid kneeling on the ground was terrified. She followed Princess Bai Lian to Yue country was to keep an eye on Princess Bai Lian for Yue countrys Emperor. She didnt expect she would be forced upon by Feng countrys second wangye.
Your Majesty! Yue Bai Lian said painfully, Xiao Qing is this princesss personal maidservant. This princess considers Xiao Qing my own younger sister, now shes been....please ask Your Majesty to give this princess an exnation!
The maid on the ground, Xiao Qing, didnt understand why the neither cold or hot Princess Bai Lian will suddenly help her but Xiao Qing knew if she climbed second wangye this big tree, then she would no longer be a maid who serves others. Who didnt wish to be a person above others?
Imperial Father, Princess Bai Lian is right, it is second wangye who took thedys innocence, how about Imperial Father grants a marriage for the two of them! Feng Xia Qi dered righteously. Then as if he pondered over it for a while, It seems second wangye likes this female very much, otherwise he wouldnt have been so impatient to possess thedy, how about let this girl be second wangfei?
You... Feng Shao Chu didnt expect Feng Xia Qi to be so ruthless. His position of wangfei was left for a woman who can bring benefits to him, most certainly a daughter of a high official, how could it be a maid? If he let a maid be wangfei, who knows how much of a joke he will be!
Your Majesty, Chuer doesnt have a lot of woman in the harem, how about give this woman to Chuer as a concubine? The Empress said. Even as a concubine the Empress disdained to give to a maid.
The Empresss words arent appropriate. This isnt an ordinary woman. She is Princess Bai Lians maid, the feelings are like that of sisters and this matter second wangye has overdone it. If he didnt truly like, how could he do such a thing in the pce? Feng Xia Qi smiled at the Empress.
Fourth brother, bewang... Feng Shao Chu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Emperor Feng Xuan.
Enough, since it has happened, then this emperor will grant this woman as second wangye Feng Shao Chus official consort. The marriage is to be held next month. Emperor Feng Xuans voice that didnt allow to be refuted boomed, then said a few things to the dignitaries before leaving the hall, leaving behind the fuming Feng Shao Chu.
Feng Shao Chu knew Imperial Father didnt want him to have any assistance, no chances to ascend that seat, but he wont give up, definitely wont!
Chapter 171 - Every Lifetime
171 Every Lifetime
Ming wangs carriage entered Ming wang manor. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian off the carriage. The guards and manservants bustling about all respectfully lowered their heads, Wangye, Miss Lan! Lan You Nian looked at Ming wang manors grandiose construction, luxurious and noble, the zed tiles exuded a thick elegance. The decorations inside the room were all precious and rare. The floor was carpeted with white jade. The white jade was engraved with the surreal spider lily pattern. A brightntern dangled from the air, the ancient color and fragrance was naturally domineering.
When did you redo this? Lan You Nian asked. Thest time she came, Ming wang manor didnt have these spider lily patterns. Every time she came, she directly went to the study so didnt look around carefully. Now with one look, she was made aware of all what Feng Yi Xuan has done for her.
Ever since you came over to Ming wang manor, Ive started doing it. Do you like it? If you dont like, Ill have them change it! Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into Ming wang manors grand hall. Ming wang manor was actually arge pce hall, simrly luxurious and solemn.
Lan You Nian shook her head, Very good, I like it very much! Lan You Nian didnt say this tofort Feng Yi Xuan. She really liked the decoration style, low key but sumptuous. What gave Lan You Nian the most pleasure was the spider lilies everywhere.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian didnt aggrieve herself. She really liked Ming wang manors appearance. He nted a look at An Er who was responsible for Ming wang manors decoration, his eyes filled with praise. An Er shook with joy. Thank goodness Miss Lan liked it otherwise he would suffer.
Nian Nian, what is this flower? Ive never seen it! Feng Yi Xuan stroked the blood red spider lily on Lan You Nians hem. Even though Lan You Nian has started to ept clothing of other colors, Feng Yi Xuan understood Lan You Nians likes so every clothing was embroidered with this flower.
Lan You Nian looked at the spider lily on her hem, her voice mncholy, This flowers name is spider lily. It blooms on the Lunar calendar of the seventh month, in the flowernguage it means sorrowful memories.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan didnt like sorrowful look. He shouldnt have asked.
It is a flower that grows on the path of theherworld. Legions of these grow there. From afar, its like the ground is carpeted with blood. It is the only scenery and color on the path to theherworld. People follow it into the Netherworld. This flower is really beautiful, unmatchable cruel glory and venomous beauty as if it is alive. But it is deste, like the cactus orchid (Epiphyllum), a flower that has never received blessings. Just like some people in the world, always suffers betrayal and pain, but even so, it is beautiful. Lan You Nians voice was like silk brushing past, like a faint note of the zither, distantly tapping Feng YI Xuans heart.
Feng Yi Xuans arms around Lan You Nian tightened. He always had the feeling he couldnt hold onto Nian Nian, as if as soon as he wasnt paying attention, Nian Nian will leave with like the breeze. He can sense the thick destion and hopeless aura around Nian Nian. He didnt know when those painful things happened to Nian Nian but he will not allow Nian Nian to be so despairing anymore.
The shadow guards in the shadows were shaken into sadness by Lan You Nians soft voice and tone. They didnt know the flower Miss Lan loved had such a meaning, inexplicately it made people feel sorrow.
Feng Yi Xuan cant stand such a feeling, this feeling he couldnt grasp Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan lowered his head, roughly lifting Lan You Nians chin. Feng Yi Xuan bore down without any warm sentiments, the kiss went from shallow to deep, masculine male vor enveloped Lan You Nian in a thick fog. Whether it was due to theck of oxygen or something, Lan You Nians head felt faint. There wasnt any strength left in her body, weakly leaning against Feng Yi Xuans chest.
Until Lan You Nian felt her entire otngue and mouth was nearly eaten by Feng Yi Xuans fierce kiss, Lan You Nian couldnt endure it any longer, reaching out her small hands to rap against Feng Yi Xuans chest, whimpering sounds tore out of her mouth.
Because of these painful sounds, Feng Yi Xuan regained his reason. Feng Yi Xuan slightly released Lan You Nian, looked Lan You Nians lips swell and redden due to his rough kiss. Lan You Nian, due to the long deep kiss, her eyes were hazy.
Sorry, Nian Nian...let me see if youre hurt Feng Yi Xuan scanned Lan You Nian. He was just ovee by emotions, afraid Nian Nian will leave him so kissed Nian Nian to feel Nian Nians warmth.
Feng Yi Xuans thin lips lightly pecked Lan You Nians swollen cherry lips, his eyes flooded with sympathy and self-me. He wanted to p himself!
Xuan, Im fine! Lan You Nian leaned against Feng Yi Xuans chest, her voice a little hoarse. She wasnt hurt nor was she afraid. Feng Yi Xuans kiss was too hot and fierce, that kind of love she couldnt withstand as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Lan You Nian was aware she has made Feng Yi Xuan afraid, this man whos never been afraid of anything, because of her, experienced fear.
Nian Nian, if Im like this again, give me a few cuts from a de, Im afraid I will injure you! Feng Yi Xuan didnt stop stroking Lan You Nians back, helping Lan You Nian smooth her breathing. Fear growing from love, because he loved Nian Nian too love, so Feng Yi Xuan always felt afraid. Because of having, he couldnt allow Nian Nian to leave him.
Xuan, I know, I understand! Lan You Nian raised her little head and kissed Feng Yi Xuans thin lips, a little embarrassed as she said, Its just too intense, I couldnt take it! Male and female in this regard had a visible gap. Lan You Nian wasnt displeased with Feng Yi Xuans actions, only felt distressed for him.
Really? Feng Yi Xuans eyes brightened. He thought he hurt Nian Nian. He didnt wish to see Nian Nian afraid of him, distance herself from him. In front of Nian Nian, he could never control himself. This desire of wanting to melt Nian Nian into his bones and blood was too apparent.
En! Lan You Nian nodded with a flushed face.
Then well practice more. That way Nian Nian wont be like this! Feng Yi Xuan dered happily then saw Lan You Nian re at him, he went silent. Although he truly thought like this in his heart, after all, if it was like this, he could kiss Nian Nian to his hearts content.
Lan You Nian didnt know howe Feng Yi Xuans head was filled with all this? Fortunately she was still young, cant sleep together, otherwise..Lan You Nian felt a profound helplessness about her future married life. Such a man, can she really take him?
Is the medicine done? Lan You Nian faced the door. Following Feng Yi Xuan to Ming wang manor was because Lan You Nian wanted to help Feng Yi Xuan detoxify the aphrodisiac in his body. Though it didnt influence Feng Yi Xuan, it was still poison after all, Lan You Nian couldnt be easy.
An San brought a bowl of pitch ck medicine in, then very fawningly said, Wangfei, the medicines done!
One word of wangfei stunned Lan You Nian. Though she and Feng YI Xuan are already engaged, she has yet to marry Feng Yi Xuan. This title of wangfei seemed a bit too early. However, Feng Yi Xuan hearing An Sans words, his mood was very good as he looked at An San, Give you a few days of leave to rest!
Thanks wangfei, thanks wangye! An San put down the bowl and flew out. Only Heavens know they shadow guards havent had a vacation in how long! Indeed wangfei is the mightiest! Pleasing wangfei, anything is possible.
Meanwhile the other shadow guards stared at An San with envy. In private they all call Miss Lan wangfei but have never uttered this title in front of master. If they knew such an address will make wangye happy like this, they would have ran over to wangye to start calling wangfei a long time ago.
From then on in Ming wang manor, Lan You Nian went from Miss Lan to wangfei. Everyones attitude towards Lan You Nian was even better than their attitude towards Feng Yi Xuan. On one hand, because Lan You Nians manners were indeed lovable, on the other hand because in Ming wang manor who didnt know Lan You Nian was the precious treasure in Feng Yi Xuans heart. If wangfei wasnt happy, no one can be happy.
Lan You Nian took out some paper and brush and wrote a long list then said to Feng Yi Xuan, Assemble all these herbs! Feng Yi Xuan didnt ask what Lan You Nian wanted to do, gestured with his hand for An Er to take the list to find the herbs immediately.
Collecting all these herbs wont be hard. I want to proceed with a medicine bath for you. That way you will be immune to somemon poisons. I will be reassured! Lan You Nian said. At the least, this kind of aphrodisiac things couldnt affect Feng YI Xuan. Though she believed in Feng Yi Xuan, this was for Feng Yi Xuans own good.
Then Nian Nian has gone through this medicine bath? Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nian was immune tomon poisons so most of the time in regards to poisons, Feng Yi Xuan could rest easy.
En, because shifu wanted to cure the various poisons in my body, various kinds of medicine baths were unavoidable . Thus, it made my body immune to hundreds of poisons! Lan You Nian said. Actually, those days were painful but because she had shifu and the senior brothers taking care of her, Lan You Nian experienced the feelings of returning home.
If only I met you earlier! Feng Yi Xuans clear voice filled with extreme gentleness, like a gush of warmth brushing against Lan You Nians heart.
It isntte now either is it? Lan You Nian smiled sweetly. Because of meeting Feng Yi Xuan, whetherte or early, she felt happy and at peace.
Nian Nian, if there is a next life, I muste to your side very early, apany you and guarding you, give you the best, let you be the happiest woman... Feng Yi Xuan said solemnly, If there is next life, whether it is the next one or the next one after that, every lifetime, you are mine, Feng Yi Xuans. I will find you!
Okay, if there is a next life, every lifetime, I will wait for you toe! Lan You Nian gripped Feng Yi Xuans broad hands, answering sincerely.
Chapter 172 - Lunch at Ming Wang Manor
172 Lunch at Ming Wang Manor
secretdreamwishes
Young miss, An Yi passed on that the medicinal herbs are already prepared. Where does young miss want to proceed with the medicinal bath? Lan Qu asked. As young misss subordinates, they underwent these medicinal baths from the beginning. Normal minor poisons was no use against them but cant resist against slightly stronger poisons.
Head to Ming wang manor. Theres no need to prepare lunch. Ill have it at Ming wang manor! Lan You Nian rose from the soft couch. The soft couch still had Feng Yi Xuans scent. It seems wherever Lan You Nian goes, she will think of Feng Yi Xuan. This man really has made it impossible for her to escape.
Lan You Nian left with An Yi. The inside of the pavilion quieted.
Young miss went to Ming wang manor? Lan Wu carried a tray of fresh fruit into the pavilion and saw the deserted pavilion saying with certainty. Her tone carried a hint of blessing. Young miss can smile happily now, will act spoiled in front of Ming wang, thats perfect.
En, young miss and Ming wang sticks together nearly every day. Their rtionship is very good! Lan Qu organized the inner room, her tone was nonchnt. Maybe because shes been with Lan You Nian for so long, Lan Qus personality had some degrees of Lan You Nians shadow.
Lan Qu, say, will Ming wang give young miss happiness? Lan Wus voice was a little worried. She can already tell young misss heart was moved by Ming wang. She was certain of Ming wangs deep love for young miss. That vow of only marrying one person, what person can make such a promise? But Nothing is permanent. Lan Wu feared some ident will happen.
He will Lan Qu said with certainty, I can tell, Ming wang regards young miss as more important than his life. Otherwise, do you think just anyone can obtain young misss heart? Lan Qu thought of everything Ming wang did all this time. Even they felt surprised. A Ming wang took excellent care of young misss basic necessities. Wasnt this a kind of doting?
Yeah! Lan Wu sighed with emotion. In the past, theyve apanied young misss side for many years. Though young miss smiles at them and jokes around with them, they all know young miss wasnt truly happy. Now, young miss was different; she was like a true young teen.
No matter how young miss and Ming wang are, we are young misss subordinates. We will always be with young miss... Lan Qu said certainly. In this life, we met young miss, bing master and servant, then in the future of this life, their loyalty wont change.
When Lan You Nian and An Yi entered Ming wang manor, Feng Yi Xuan didnt return from the military camps yet. Lan You Nian was bored and ran over to the kitchens.
Wangfei! everyone stopped what they were doing to give salutations. Who is this? This was wangyes loved and pampered little wangfei. Wangfei actually ran to the kitchen? They were all a little horrified, fearing that the kitchens have done something that made wangfei displeased.
You can continue with your work! Lan You Nian smiled like the girl next door without any of the airs of a young miss of a prestigious family but the marrow-deep alienation made people not dare to be presumptuous. For a moment, they didnt know what they should do.
Aiyo, wangfei why have youe to the kitchen? Does wangfei want to eat something? Just tell this old ve! the steward ran into the kitchen and saw that wangfei stood pretty as a fairy seemingly out of ce in the kitchen.
Towards this wangfei, the steward was very pleased. Overstepping a little, in his lifetime he didnt marry a wife, always serving wangfu so he considered wangye and all the others his own children. Now the icy wangye finally showed emotions, not only was this wangfei pretty, she was smart and clever. The steward simrly considered Lan You Nian a youngster to dote on.
Uh, I wanted to make lunch for Xuan! Lan You Nian shrugged her shoulders saying a little embarrassedly. All this while, it was always Feng Yi Xuan who made efforts. She has never done anything for Feng Yi Xuan. This was the perfect opportunity, with nothing on hand at present. She hasnt gone to the kitchen in a while and wanted to make lunch for Feng Yi Xuan to taste. But seeing the fearful looks of the people in the kitchen, Lan You Nian didnt know what to do.
What? the steward gaped in disbelief then when he reacted, he sighed with feeling and heartache. He didnt expect wangfei at such a young age to know to feel heartache for wangfye. Its no wonder wangye dotes on wangfei so much. However, as a qualified steward, the steward said, Wangfei is considerate. Wangye will be happy if he knew. The kitchen is too chaotic and dangerous, just have the cooks make the food!
The steward nced at Lan You Nians hand, white and slender like a piece of white jade. Such a hand, there probably wasnt anyone who would bear letting such a hand be contaminated with grease.
No problem. You guys leave. I can do it myself! Lan You Nian still smiled gently. She knew these people didnt have any ill intentions but her tone filled with a superior manner, making everyone not dare to say anymore and leave the kitchen.
Lan You Nian nced at the kitchens various vegetables and nibbled on her lip wondering what she was going to make for Feng Yi Xuan to eat. Outside, the cooks sneaked nces inside and said worriedly to the steward, Young miss seems to be troubled. It looks like she doesnt know what to do. Should we go inside to help?
The steward also wanted to let the cooks go inside to help. It was best if little wangfei came out and not torment their hearts but remembering how the little wangfei was clearly smiling but that the bearing that couldnt beughed at that seemed very similiar to wangyes, he shook his head, Wangfei is our wangfus matriarch. Whatever wangfei says is what well do!
Yes! everyone nodded. To enter Ming wangfu, even just a cook or manservant, they werent ordinary people. They were all very sensible.
Lan You Nian rolled up her clean sleeves, revealing a slender pure white wrist to start making lunch. Lan You Nian picked out some eggs to make an ordinary egg drop soup. It was a very ordinary soup but Lan You Nian made it very seriously.
Lan You Nian also took some eggnts to make minced meet eggnt. She knew Feng Yi Xuan is a meat eater.
Lan You Nian looked at the cleaned up fish deciding to make a chopped pepper fish head for Feng Yi Xuan to taste. Lan You Nian knew this world didnt have this dish of chopped pepper fish head. She didnt know if Feng Yi Xuan would like it.
Lan You Nian busied herself in the kitchen appearingpetent. The steward and the others who were waiting outside looked at admiration at the wangfei inside. How many young miss of prestigious familys can cook? The most they know to do is take the dishes made by the kitchen and say they made it themselves. But their wangfei was so virtuous. They all felt wangye had good eyes.
Feng Yi Xuan hurried back from the military camp. Usually when he went to the military camp, he wouldnt return to the manor at noon. But when he heard An Er say Nian Nian came over to Ming wangfu, Feng Yi Xuan handed over the matters that havent been dealt with to Yu Liu Li and directly hurried back to the manor on horseback.
Wheres wangfei? Feng Yi Xuan asked An Er in the shadows. When it was the two of them, he liked calling Lan You Nian by Nian Nian. That way he felt the two of them was especially intimate. In front of others, he liked calling wangfei because this meant she is his, his Feng Yi Xuans.
Wangfei is in the kitchen An Er answered then added, Wangfei is making lunch for wangye! An Er knew that master will be happy to hear his words. The only one who could affect masters mood was wangfei.
For benwang? Feng Yi Xuan asked in disbelief, his tone was a little excited. He didnt need Nian Nian to do anything for him. He only wanted Nian Nian to enjoy his pampering. When Nian Nian did these for him, Feng Yi Xuan felt so happy he was bursting with bubbles, hating he couldnt shout it out.
Feng Yi Xuan used qinggong to fly over to the kitchen. When he arrived at the kitchen, he found the cooks and the steward standing outside while those shadow guards have all emerged. Everyone was watching the little person bustling about in the kitchen.
Wang... Everyone began to give their salutations but was stopped by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan slowly walked into the kitchen, watching this little soft Nian Nian standing by the stove pan-frying the stuff inside. On the table on the side was already served full with covered dishes but the smelling the aroma in the kitchen, it was obviously delicious.
Feng Yi Xuan felt his eyes seemed to covered with ayer of mist. Through the mist, he saw the girl he put in his heart making food like a wife for her beloved husband. Clearly that clothing, that figure, didnt fit in with the kitchen but Feng Yi Xuans heartbeat quickened like very time he was with Nian Nian. Only this time, his heart was touched.
Feng Yi Xuan walked over and from behind, hugged Lan You Nians slim waist that seems as if it can break if he exerted force. Heid his chin on Lan You Nians shoulder, his breath blowing past Lan You Nians neck. That white skin because of the hot breath became a patch of pink.
Youre back? Lan You Nian didnt need to look back to know who was hugging her. Unknowingly, she can already distinguish this mans presence. As for these intimate acts, Lan You Nian has slowly be ustomed to it.
This sentence of Youre back gave Feng Yi Xuan the illusion of the two of them having already married, the wifes words for the husband whos just returned home. It inexplicably made people feel reassured and warm.
En! Feng Yi Xuan murmured a reply but didnt let go of Lan You Nian. He just held her, watched her, feeling the warmth in his arms. He was reluctant to let Lan You Nian touch these things. However he couldnt bear to shatter the mood, indulging in this feeling.
The two finished making lunch like a conjoined baby. When Lan You Nian ced thest dish on the table, Feng Yi Xuan already already poured some warm water for Lan You Nian to wash her hands.
Smelling the oily fumes on Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel disgust as for his usual mysophobia. Instead, this oily fume mixed with Lan You Nians bodily fragrance was even more teasing the heart. It made Feng Yi Xuan want to drag this girl under him to kiss her passionately. But ncing at the people waiting outside the kitchen, Feng Yi Xuan abandoned this impulse in his heart.
Ill go change! Lan You Nian smelled the scent on her. Feng Yi Xuans ce had many clothes and jewelry for all four seasons of the year. Lan You Nian was about to go to Feng Yi Xuans room to change clothes.
However Feng Yi Xuan suddenly carried Lan You Nian into the room, saying to the steward outside, Bring the dishes into the room!
When the steward and cooks walked into the kitchen and saw the dishes wangfei made, they were all shocked. They believed with wangfeis culinary skill it was already eptable to make some pleasant looking dishes but smelling this aroma and the various dishes, everyone knew wangfeis culinary skills was pretty good.
Feng Yi Xuan walked over to the closet, opened it and picked out a white dress for Lan You Nian. Most of the space in Feng Yi Xuans closet was taken up by her clothes. Lan You Nians vision was a little dazzled. Only this man would delight and never tire of preparing clothes for her.
After Lan You Nian has changed, the dishes were already arranged on the table in the room. It was a very simple four dishes and one soup, very domestic and simple dishes but it was because of this it gave people the feeling of home.
After the two took their own seat, Lan You Nian picked out some dishes for Feng Yi Xuan, then blinked her misty round eyes saying, Taste it if its good! Actually, Lan You Nian was uncertain. She was adept after making those rare and strange snacks but she wasnt very good at these authentic dishes. Compared to Ming wang manors cooks, who knows howcking she is. Feng Yi Xuans usual meals are very picky. Lan You Nian didnt know if would be used to the food she makes.
Feng Yi Xuan firstdled a bowl of soup for Lan You Nian. Seeing Lan You Nian start to eat, only then did he start eating. Feng Yi Xuan ate the minced meat eggnt in his bowl. Perhaps because his mood was good, Feng Yi Xuan felt todays dishes was much better than those made by the imperial chefs.
Nian Nians culinary skills are excellent! Feng Yi Xuan praised but his heart ached, But dont cook anymore, understand? He didnt want the little girl he pampered and loved to touch these oil fumes. He couldnt bear it.
Lan You Nian understood Feng Yi Xuans feelings. She really wasnt that type of virtuous wife and mother who will cook every day so she nodded saying, Alright, if you want to eat the food I make, just tell me!
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan only smiled faintly, handsome as the wind oveying it with ayer of faint warmth.
Because Lan You Nian personally cooked, Feng Yi Xuans ate more than usual at noon. The dishes Lan You Nian made were eaten clean. Lan You Nian was worried and didnt want him to eat but Feng Yi Xuan was stubborn. Fortunately the mans stomach was big. Feng Yi Xuan didnt show any signs of difort so Lan You Nian was reassured.
Chapter 173 - Medicine Bath
173 Medicine Bath
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian took their time with lunch. Afterward, the two went over to the previously prepared medicine room. This was prepared by Feng Yi Xuan for Lan You Nian. Considering Nian Nian wanted to use medicinal herbs, Feng Yi Xuan prepared many precious and expensive medicinal herbs in this medicinal room.
Are the herbs I want assembled? Lan You Nian nced at the rare medicinal herbs in the room, her eyes shing brightly. She didnt expect Ming wangfu to be so wealthy. Many of the herbs here even Medical Valley didnt have much of. It can be seen from this Feng Yi Xuans capability.
Answering wangfei, all the herbs are assembled. They are already boiled based on proportion per wangfeis instructions! An Yi answered. The moment Lan You Nian stepped into Ming wangfu, she already gave instructions to An Yi to boil all the herbs.
Lan You Nian walked over to the boiled medicinal bath. A st of pungent medicinal aroma attacked her nose. Lan You Nian stepped back in difort then fastidiously inspected, finding the herbs were all well ced. The herbs chosen were the best. Lan You Nian nodded in satisfaction.
Bring these into the room! Lan You Nian ordered then said to Feng Yi Xuan, Next, you must ept a medicinal bath. The process is painful but bear with it. Afterward, normal aphrodisiacs and such minor poisons wont be able to harm you!
I know! Feng Yi Xuan said. If he couldnt bear a little pain like this, how could he walk up to this point? All the big or little injuries hes ever received were innumerable, he didnt feel scared. The things he was most afraid of was all concerning Nian Nian.
Finished saying this, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian headed into the room. At this moment, Lan You Nian paused her step to look at the shadow guard, This medicinal baths prescription I have already told An Yi. You also should soak in the medicinal bath. That way the odds of you being poisoned in the future will lessen!
Thank you wangfei! All the shadow guards knelt on one knee, their voices filled with respect. As shadow guards, they have always followed their master. Though master treated them as brothers, master was still after a man, he didnt show care for them. But wangfei thought of them, the subordinates. The shadow guards were a little moved.
Itll just make you immune to normal poisons. You still need to pay attention. Caution will sail a ship for a million years! Lan You Nian instructed. She was actually a cold-hearted person. Few people can enter her heart. Those she put in her heart was even less. Feng Yi Xuan was the most important person in her heart. Because she cared about Feng Yi Xuan, in regards to Feng Yi Xuans subordinates as well as hisrades, Lan You Nian also was even more cared about. The foremost reason is only because she considered Feng Yi Xuans face, not because she wanted people to feel grateful towards her.
Yes! An Yi and the others nodded in answer. Such a wangfei was their Ming wangfus matriarch. At this moment, they all had a feeling of being honored. In todays world, who will put shadow guards in their eye? In everyones eyes, subordinates were the same as livestock. Wangfeis words made them feel valued. Not that wangye didnt treat them well. They followed wangye many years loyally without betraying. Towards wangye, they had fear and respect. But towards wangfei, they felt joy like that with their family.
When they carried the boiling medicinal bath into the room, they all withdrew. Lan You Nian reached out a hand to put it in the medicinal bath, feeling the medicinal bath inside, then wiped it off, In a moment you get naked and sit in the bathtub. Ill leave first! The medicinal bath requires the body topletely naked. Though Lan You Nian already saw Feng Yi Xuans naked body, she was still bashful.
Finished saying this, Lan You Nian headed outside. She wasnt really going to leave but was going to wait outside the door. Lan You Nian didnt even reach the doorway of the room, Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian into his arms, with much displeasure saying, Where is Nian Nian going? Shouldnt you apany me?
Lan You Nian nced at Feng Yi Xuan, seeing the mans eyes were all filled with her, as if she was his all, her heartpletely softened, Alright, Ill stay with you! Lan You Nian said, prepared to stay.
Feng Yi Xuan undressed in front of Lan You Nian, the outer robes, the inner clothes, one after another removed. Lan You Nians face waspletely red as she twisted her head over, not daring to look because when Feng Yi Xuan undresses more, he will really bepletely naked in front of her.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan rotated Lan You Nian around, but noticed the girls eyes were tightly closed, her eyshes trembling like pping wings. Feng Yi Xuans lips tugged upwards, in an instant it was like the ciers melted and everything awakens.
Nian Nian is shy. Hasnt Nian Nian already seen? Or is Nian Nian displeased by what you see? Feng Yi Xuans voice was like an unadulterated, clear and rich guqin, exceptionally beautiful to the ears, like melodious music of the zither, also like spring breeze puffing over the waters surface causing micro-ripples, affecting Lan You Nians heart and soul.
Who saw? Lan You Nian retorted with her eyes squeezed shut but that flushed face wasnt persuasive at all. Lan You Nian felt her Feng Yi Xuan has be bad. Howe hes learned to flirt with her? Even more frightening, she liked such a Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng yi Xuan was even more delighted by such a shy Lan You Nian, deliberately scooted over to Lan You Nian, then beguilingly said, Oh? Nian Nian doesnt dare to look? His voice contained an inexplicable provocation, but that provocation contained pampering.
You! Lan You Nians eyes tore open, and saw the stark naked man standing in front of her, skin that is white and exquisite with distinct veins and muscles with extremely strong explosive force. Lan You Nian felt she was finding things for herself to do. Male beauty retards people.
Lan You Nian was shy she didnt know what best to do. If she was facing another man today, Lan You Nian had a hundred methods to counter with. Or that is to say she wouldnt feel anything. Because the naked man in front of her was the person she loved, so she had the feelings and shyness a girl should have.
Nian Nian, we will be husband and wife, the most intimate rtionship in this world, Feng Yi Xuan sighed. If he was to see Nian Nians body, he will be more excited and happy than anything. After the two marry, they will honestly see each other so Feng Yi Xuan felt he should let Nian Nian get used to it.
Lan You Nian remained silent but her eyes didnt carelessly look, only staring into Feng Yi Xuans eyes afraid of seeing anything she shouldnt see. Feng Yi Xuan saw such a shy Lan You Nian, he didnt dare to impetuous, so he obediently entered the bathtub.
Seeing Feng Yi Xuan finally got into the bathtub, Lan You Nian sighed in relief. She didnt wish to be a pervert. Lan You Nian walked over to the bathtub, seeing Feng Yi Xuans gradually paling face color as well as the sweat on his forehead. She knew the medicinal bath was beginning.
Lan You Nian didnt say anything but her heart ached as she looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She silently stood there looking that this man. The medicinal bath was very painful, like countless needles pricking your body made you feel pain, but Feng Yi Xuan, besides his deathly pale face and the sweat on his forehead, there wasnt any expression of pain, as if it was a normal soaking.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian who was looking at him with heartache. His heart felt warm. In the past, this little womans gaze on him was indifferent but now this girls eyes started to have him. The doorway to her heart was already opened for him.
The second he got into the medicinal bath, Feng Yi Xuan felt pain everywhere on his body. It wasnt extremely pain but the pain was like countless needles pricking, making people feel ufortable but for Feng Yi xuan, this wasnt enough to make his face change.
Feng Yi Xuan reached out a bare arm from the bathtub, reaching out a hand to hold the worried Lan You Nians small hand in hisrge hands. The indulgent smile on the corner of his lips didnt change. As long as this little woman stayed by his side, even if it was mountains of des or sea or fire, he wouldnt even frown.
After the bathtubs hot water became cold, and Lan You Nian saw it was time, she hurriedly said to Feng Yi Xuan, Alright Xuan, its enough! Lan You Nian immediately brought over a towel.
Feng Yi Xuan stepped out of the bathtub. Lan You Nian very naturally handed the towel to Feng Yi Xuan, covering up the most important part. Feng Yi Xuan then walked into the bathing pool in the room to take a bath. Lan You Nian searched for the required clothes for Feng Yi Xuan then walked into the bathing pool inner room to put down the clothes before leaving.
When Feng Yi Xuan was dressed and walked out of the inner room, Lan You Nian stood there watching Feng Yi Xuan, her eyes were meticulous. Feng Yi Xuan was confused as he hastened over to Lan You Nians side, Nian Nian, whats wrong?
How are you feeling? Lan You Nian asked, her expression serious and thoroughly observant.
Feng Yi Xuan caught a whiff of a fragrance. Turning his head, he saw there was some fragrances burning inside an incense burner in the room. He never uses such things in his room so Feng Yi Xuans reaction was dyed. This was done by Lan You Nian, to test the condition of his body after the medicinal bath.
Feng Yi Xuan thoroughly checked his body, noticed there wasnt any strangeness, and joyfully his arms wrapped around Lan You Nian, Very good. Im perfectly fine! He wasnt happy because he can resist againstmon poisons but rather because he didnt waste Nian Nians intentions.
Chapter 174 - Heartache
174 Heartache
When Lan You Nian heard Feng Yi Xuan say this, she also sighed in relief. She then picked up a teacup from the table, rolled up her sleeves and aimed a dagger at her wrist. However her hand was intercepted by Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan You Nian gazed at Feng Yi Xuan in confusion, realizing Feng Yi Xuans face indicated a rarely seen censure that was directed at her.
Nian Nian, what are you doing? Feng Yi Xuans tone carried a hint of suppressed wrath. That wrath wasnt aimed at Lan You Nian, rather, it was directed at himself. He couldnt bear to vent his anger on Nian Nian.
Lan You Nians purerge eyes stared at Feng Yi Xuan, saying nonchntly, The injury on your abdomen is poisoned with Xue Ling Long. This poison is nearly all dispelled but the residue of the poison in your body hasnt beenpletely detoxified. This will create a lot ofplications for you in your future martial art aplishments. My blood, though normally its useless, but after all that medicinal baths and conditioning of toxic poisons, my blood is the best antidote to get rid of the poison in your body.
At first Lan You Nian wasnt aware Feng Yi Xuan still had some residue of Xue Ling Long poison in his body. This poison was extremely potent. The reason why Lan You Nian wasnt able to detect it because the poison was almostpletely dispelled. If it werent for the residue scent of the poisoning from the medicinal bath, Lan You Nian still wouldnt have noticed. But since she noticed it, Lan You Nian wont allow this poison to harm Feng Yi Xuan. Fortunately, her blood was very effective against the poison.
No need!Feng Yi Xuans violet eyes congealed into frost, anger squeezed and tumbled in his heart, like a balloon that has amassed a ton of gas, if it wasnt deted, it will explode.
Xuan... Lan You Nian kissed Feng Yi Xuans thin lips. Theres a saying that men with thin lips were fickle in love but when in fact that fickle love was only because he only had love for one person, while being heartless to everyone else.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt agree with Lan You Nian like he normally did. Although he indulged Nian Nian, if Nian Nian hurt herself, then no matter what, he will not allow it, even if it was for him.
Nian Nian, Im not afraid of anything. But if youre hurt or youre bleeding, do you know how much my heart will ache? That kind of pain, those who have never experienced for themselves, will never understand. Nian Nian, anything you say I can agree with, but if it was to harm yourself to help me, I wont allow it! Feng Yi Xuans eyes narrowed, the inner depths shing with a trace of arctic frost. His expression was cold, his lips pursed into a thin line.
Lan You Nian hurriedly hugged Feng Yi Xuan, Xuan, I know but think, its just a little blood. It wont hurt me at all! Lan You Nians eyes misted over with beads of tears, If theres something wrong with your body, how can you protect me? If something happened to you, who can grow old with me? Xuan, cant you tell which is important?
I dont agree! Feng Yi Xuan forced himself not to look at the girls tearing eyes, afraid his heart will soften and agree to anything.
If you dont agree, do you think I wont do it behind your back? Lan You Nians temper rose. Though she knew Feng Yi Xuan was doing this for her own good, at the same time, she was thinking of him.
You dare! Feng Yi Xuan gripped Lan You Nian tightly in his arms.
See if I dare! Lan You Nian bit down on Feng Yi Xuans chest, If not in front of you, I might bleed even more blood. I wont acknowledge you anymore in the future! Lan You Nian went up in tears. Originally it was fake crying, but it ended up in real tears.
Seeing Lan You Nian up in tears, Feng Yi Xuan instantly panicked. He knew everything Nian Nian said was for real. He was aware of how stubborn she was. She probably will bleed herself at some time he wasnt aware of. Then wouldnt he feel even more heartache? If there was some ident he wasnt aware of, Feng Yi Xuan has never felt this agonized.
Dont cry! Feng Yi Xuan tenderly rubbed away Lan You Nians tears, Alright, I agree.
Really? Lan You Nian blinked her misty eyes, causing Feng Yi Xuans heart to soften into puddle of water.
Really! Feng Yi Xuan said. He really didnt know what to do with Nian Nian.
Hmph! Lan You Nian suddenly retracted her tears, those pair of eyes seemed to be as clean and pure as if they washed with water. Feng Yi Xuan tenderly ced a kiss on Lan You Nians eyes softly.
~
Lan You Nian felt the tender and indulgent and heart-aching kiss on her eye. Lan You Nian stood on her tippy toes to wrap her arms around Feng Yi Xuans neck, her cherry lips interlocked with Feng Yi Xuans sexy thin lips. It wasnt a peck, rather she used all her passion to invite Feng Yi Xuan into a dance.
Then using the dagger, she sliced through her skin, letting the fresh blood flow into the teacup. Feng Yi Xuans entire person shook. His caught the scent of fresh blood, like a hard hammer, pounding into his indifferent and lonely heart, setting off turbulent waves, such pain that his heart curled up, as if a hand was tearing apart that beating organ.
Feng Yi Xuan pinned down Lan You Nians head, kissing her deeply, as if only this way can make him feel a little better, to make him not look at such a heart-aching scene. After the kiss was over, Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian, smoothing her back, after her breathing has steadided, he immediately put on wound ointment on Lan You Nians arm.
In that period, Feng Yi Xuan didnt utter a word. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was angry. He wasnt willing to let her get hurt, but he could do nothing as he watched her do this, not to mention it was all for him. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan felt worse than anyones but even so, he gently bandaged up her wound.
Xuan, dont be mad, alright? Lan You Nians eyes curved into crescents, her brows and lips were fill of sincere and fawning smiles.
Feng Yi Xuan sighed under his breath. How could he be angry at Nian Nian? He med himself for letting Nian Nian get injured because of him, yet he couldnt do anything. This helpless feeling made Feng Yi Xuan feel sour inside. One the one hand he felt painfully restless rejecting nor wishing Nian Nian to be hurt, on the other hand, he helplessly epted it. Because he knew that was because Nian Nian cared about him.
Feng Yi Xuan reached out a slender finger, slim but powerful, lightly caressing Lan You Nians wound on her arm. The wound wasnt deep, it couldnt even count as a skin injury. After using Medical Valleys medicine for a few days, it will bepletely healed. Feng Yi Xuan felt this was a cut on his own wound.
Nian Nian, my heart aches for you... Feng Yi xuans eyes stared at Lan You Nian, his eyes were cloudless, blindingly real, clear and prating, containing no impurity or falseness, in it was true and genuine heartache.
Xuan, since you feel for me, then be even more good to me in the future, isnt that great? Lan You Nian acted spoiled. Lan You Nians heart was already filled up and brimming with this man called Feng Yi Xuan so Lan You Nian didnt feel pain doing any of this. Just like how good Feng Yi Xuan treated her, never considering her troublesome.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan murmured in agreement. In the future, Feng Yi Xuan did indeed acheive this. He doted on this girl on his brow, put her in his heart, pampered her her whole life, protected her for a lifetime and gave her the most beautiful love in this world.
Feng Yi Xuan picked up the teacup on the table and downed the cup of brimming blood down his throat, the pungent taste of blood flooded Feng Yi Xuans senses.
Nian Nian, I drank your blood, we are connected by bone and blood. You can no longer leave me! Feng Yi Xuans forehead pressed against Lan You Nians forehead, in between his brows was Feng Yi Xuans overbearing and possessiveness.
En! Lan You Nian nodded then said to Feng Yi Xuan, You just took a medicinal bath, rest for a while!
Stay with me? Feng Yi Xuan asked. He liked hugging Nian Nian to sleep, as if his empty heart was filled to the brim, as if his chest existed for this little woman in front of him.
Im going to prepare a medicinal diet for you! Lan You Nian saw such a sticky Feng Yi Xuan grinning brightly, who would have thought the unsocial Ming wang who didnt allow anyone to get close to him will act as sticky as a child in front of her, even sleeping he wanted her to stay with him.
Feng Yi Xuan frowned in dissatisfaction. Nian Nian just bled so much blood. Feng Yi Xuan wanted to say something, then he felt dizziness ovee him. Lan You Nian helped Feng Yi Xuan to lie on the bed, watching Feng Yi Xuan whoses coldness withdrew in his sleep, and nted a kiss on his forehead. Having taken a medicinal bath as well as drank her blood to clean up Xue Ling Long residue poison, as well as being rxed with her by his side, of course he fainted.
Lan You Nian tucked Feng Yi Xuan in and was prepared to leave when she noticed her hand was held tightly by Feng Yi Xuan. No matter how much force she used, she wasnt able to escape. Lan You Nian can only helplessly scoot closer to Feng Yi Xuans ear to whisper, Xuan, let go of my hand okay?
But Feng Yi Xuans grip on Lan You Nians hand only tightened. LAn You Nians hand was already beginning to redden. One can imagine how much strength Feng Yi Xuan put into his grip.
Lan You Nian frowned then continued to say, Xuan, I wont leave you. Youre hurting me! Lan You Nian carefully observed Feng Yi Xuan. Indeed, Feng Yi Xuan released his grip. Lan You Nians heart was moved. Feng Yi Xuan really really loved her. And she really loved this man.
Chapter 175 - Assassin
175 Assassin
When Lan You Nian stepped out of the room, An Yi and the others was already waiting outside. Seeing Lan You Nian, An Yi greeted her, Wangfei!
Lan You Nian nodded, then, Medicinal baths are good. When you guys have time, carry on with the medicinal bath as soon as possible. Then she headed over to the kitchen, instructing An Yi to go over to the medicinal room to bring over the herbs she need to the kitchen.
Lan You Nian made a bowl of medicinal porridge based on the required amount of herbal ingredients. As a matter of fact, shes never made medicinal porridge. Every time her poison broke out in the Medical Valley, shifu and the senior brothers always made it for her. Outside, Lan Qu and Lan Wu made it for her. Having observed them many times, Lan You Nian has learned the skill more or less.
Young miss! Lan You Nian was watching over the medicinal porridge over the fire when Lan Ren suddenly appeared in Ming wangfu. Because of Lan You Nian, Ming wangfus shadow guards were familiar with Lan You Nians four subordinates. Lan Ren and the others were allowed to enter Ming wangfu, but they were only allowed entrance. Some areas were still out of bounds.
What happened? Lan You Nians eyes didnt look away from the medicinal porridge on the fire but her tone was a little cold. If it wasnt anything big, Lan Ren wouldnte to Ming wangfu to find her.
Her Majesty summoned Princess Bai Lian into the imperial pce for tea. I fear she will pick troubles with Princess Bai Lian! Lan Ren said. Since the farewell feastst time, young miss already reminded them to pay attention to Yue Bai Lians matters. The Empress will not give up so easily.
Lan You Nian nodded. She already foresaw the Empress will pick trouble with Bai Lian. There was no way the incident that happenedst time had no connection to Bai Lian. ording to the Empresss temper, it would be strange if she didnt pick on Bai Lian. However the Empress didnt dare to touch Bai Lian. Bai Lian bore the status of Yue Countrys marriage alliance princess.
An Er Lan You Nian said to An Er outside, Watch over the medicinal porridge and bring it over to Xuan after he wakes up!
Yes! An Er looked at wangfei with distress. It wasnt that he didnt want to do these rather if wangye woke up and didnt see wangfei, he will definitely lose his temper. At that time, he will be the misfortunate one. Ai, he has such a bitter life ah!
Oh right, can you enter the pce at any time? Lan You Nian asked. Every time she entered the pce, Lan You Nian was attending some kind of banquet or feast. Every time she was with Lan Jian Jun. It seemed normal official familys women cant enter the pce casually without summons.
Answering wangfei, you can enter the pce at your will. This was clearly written out in His Majestys imperial decree! An Er said. Even if there wasnt an imperial decree, if wangfei wanted to enter the pce, it was doable too, not to mention His Majesty was pleased with wangfei.
Oh, so its like this! Then when Xuan wakes up, tell him that Im going to the pce to take a look! Lan You Nian headed outside. As for that imperial decree, she didnt even nce over it so Lan You Nian didnt know when the Emperor passed this imperial decree, how many peoples eyes reddened (with jealousy). To enter the pce at will, beside a few of the wangye and Tutor He, there was no other woman given this honor. Lan You Nian became the first woman to enter the pce at her will.
Wangfei, take An Yi with you! An Yi stood in front of Lan You Nian. Wangye has yet to waken. As shadow guards, it was their duty to protect wangfei. If wangfei was wronged in any way, who knew how distressed wangye would be.
En? Arent you shadow guards not allowed to enter the pce? Lan You Nian asked in confusion. If it was Feng Yi Xuan, he can bring An Yi and the others in with his identity. If it wasnt Feng Yi Xuan, no one was allowed to bring shadow guards into the pce. Sometimes when Lan You Nian brought people in, it was all due to Feng Yi Xuans interference.
Its true shadow guards cant enter the pce but An Yi is wangfeis head of guards so has imperial permission to enter the pce, An Er exined. Though they were shadow guards, they were also public guards as well. Their positions in the shadows or in public were interchangeable.
En, alright! Lan you Nian nodded for Lan Ren to return then took An Yi with her to the imperial pce.
Perhaps because Yue Bai Lian dawdled a little long, or Lan You Nians carriage was too fast, the twos carriage encountered each other in front of the pce gates. Lan You Nian got off her carriage and saw Yue Bai Lian who simrly got off the carriage. The two smiled at one another.
Yue Bai Lian was moved by Lan You Nians protectiveness and worry. Lan You Nian purely felt this bestie was very good.
Howe Nianer is here? Yue Bai Lian asked though in her heart she already knew the answer but still wanted to ask if it was exactly as she thought.
I feared you couldnt handle it yourself so I came to back you up! Lan You Nian said as she and Yue Bai Lian walked into the pce. Though Lan You Nian can enter the pce in Ming wangfus carriage, Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuans carriage didnt allow for any woman beside herself to enter.
Im not afraid. I have the greatest back stage behind me! Maybe because she really did suppress the feelings in her heart into the deepest part of herself, Yue Bai Lian looked to be in a good mood. Her interaction with Lan You Nian was filled with friendship between friends.
In regards to Yue Bai Lians change, Lan You Nian was happy for her. She really thought well of Yue Bai Lian, nor did she wish to see her immerse herself in the problem she created. More or less, she felt a little guilty.
Princess Bai Lian please follow this servant! a pce maid came over to Yue Bai Lian and prepared to lead Yue Bai Lian into the Empresss pce. Lan You Nian knew this pce maid to be the Empress An Qian Meis personal maidservant.
Since Im also in the pce, I should also visit Her Majesty! Lan You Nian then went with Yue Bai Lian. Seeing this, the pce maid was troubled but with Lan You Nians identity right there, as well as the Emperor was extremely fond of this future daughter inw, the pce maid didnt dare say anything, only lowered her head to lead the way.
Meanwhile, An Yi who was following them most definitely will follow. An Yi came into the pce to protect wangfei. When they entered the Empresss pce, An Yi could only stand outside. As an outside man, An Yi cant enter a consorts pce.
Wangfei An Yi hesitated, not that he was worried something would happen to wangfei, since he was well aware of wangfeis abilities, he was worried if wangfei will suffer any grievances,. No one was allowed to bully Ming wangfus wangfei.
Lan You Nian smiled. Towards An Yi and the others respect and protectiveness towards her, Lan You Nian felt it. From the start, it might have been because of Feng Yi Xuan, but now Lan You Nian can tell they really regarded her as their wangfei.
Seeing wangfeis smile, An Yi was reassured but thought it was best if he sent news to fourth wangye in the pce...
~
Everywhere in the Empresss pce was a show of luxury. There were snow white stone carvings on both sides of the road as well as a pool of water from where drifted clear sounds of water. Faintly one can see the swimming koi. Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian followed the pce maid into the luxurious grand hall.
Empress An Qian Mei sat in the center of the grand hall, her expression haughty. Red lips, small mouth, skin that was tender as suet due to the recent matters showed signs of age, her eyes shed with fierce light. Wearing a purple short shirt, matched with a hundred pleated skirt, with an overcoat of embroidered purple flowers and half sleeved, her hairbed into a chaotian hairstyle, with pearl and jade cloud cor and a pink peony inserted in it. If it wasnt for the Empresss air, she can be considered a national beauty, bringing out the best in her features.
Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian curtsied at the same time, Greetings to Your Majesty! Because Lan You Nian was permitted to forgo the ceremony of kneeling, so no matter who she was seeing, there was no need for her to be too ceremonious in greeting so seeing this, the Empress frowned but didnt say anything. She looked at the pce maid that brought Lan You Nian in. She probably didnt know why Lan You Nian would appear at this time.
The pce maid quietly came over to the Empress and leaned into her ear, quietly exining why Lan You Nian was here. Hearing the reason, the Empress felt even more irritated. It was like every time she encountered this girl, nothing went the way it should. This girl was now Feng Yi Xuans future wife, the Empress hated she couldnt kill Lan You Nian.
After Lan You Nian curtsied, she stood off to the side. Yue Bai Lian was the same. In fact deep in her bones Yue Bai Lian had her own pride as well as the superiority as an imperial familys princes. Yue Bai Lian didnt wait for the Empress to say something before she stood beside Lan You Nian.
Princess Bai Lians probably hasnt finished learning etiquette. Seeing this empress, you give such perfunctory greeting? The Empress snapped. She knew she couldnt kill off Yue Bai Lian but that didnt mean she couldnt punish Yue Bai Lian to vent her anger. This method wasmon in the imperial pce. As the Empress, she was skilled in this.
Yue Bai Lian nced at Lan You Nian, her gaze was tantlyining the Empress this old witch was finding trouble out of nothing. However Yue Bai Lian still lowered her head in reply, This princess is still Yue countrys princess, not Feng countrys citizen. May I ask where did this princess showed error in etiquette?
Impudent! The Empresss face changed seeing Yue Bai Lians attitude, mming her hand on the low solid wood table. The hall resounded with m, the surrounding pce maids and eunuchs all fell to their knees in horror, only Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian remained unmoving.
Though you arent my Feng countrys citizen now, but with your current position of marriage alliance princessing over to my Feng country, it wont be long before you are my Feng countrys citizen. Which rule says you dont greet this empress properly? The Empress used Yue Bai Lian, Someone, teach Princess Bai Lian the rules of etiquette, so that she wont offend the Emperor when she marries into our imperial family!
Several sturdy looking pce maids slowly walked over to Yue Bai Lian. Lan You Nian suddenly pulled Yue Bai Lian behind her, then stared down the Empress up above, Your Majesty is really putting on airs. Princess Bai Lian represents Yue country and Feng countrys diplomatic rtions. Does Your Majesty want to incite a war between the two countries?
Miss Lan has a really sharp tongue! The Empresss gaze on Lan You Nian seemed to contain poisoned arrows, as if she wanted Lan You Nian to be shot through the heart with a million arrows, When does this empress need a puny little officials young miss to chip in your opinion? p!
Lan You Nian stared at the Empress, her eyes vibrant with cold brilliance. The soft pink lips that seemed to be moistened by cherry flowers tugged up a degree, harmlessly staring at the pce maids approaching her. Just as the pce maid was whipping out a hand to p her, Lan You Nian reached out her pure white hands to shatter the pce maids neck, death on the spot!
Lan You Nians decisive action made the people in the Empresss pce all stunned speechless. when have they seen a girl so nonchntly off a person? Especially since this girl appeared so beautiful and harmless, as if murdering someone was a very ordinary matter.
LAn You Nian sneered at the dead pce maid. This pce maid was the very same one who led Feng Yi Xuan over to Feng Guan Lians wing. Because she had her hands full with Feng Yi Xuans medicinal bath, this has been put aside for a time. These people wanted to harm Feng Yi Xuan, how can she let them go? Even that Feng Guan Lian she wont let go of!
The Empress was scared by Lan You Nians ruthlessness. In that instant Lan You Nian killed the person, she seemed to have seen the shadow of Feng Yi Xuan. These two people were simrly brutal and merciless!
Daring! The Empress was slightly fearful. She was really afraid Lan You Nian would simrly snap her neck in two. The Empress shouted to the people outside, Theres assassins! Let the guardse in! Take down the assassins! Quick!
Chapter 176 - Punishing Feng Guan Lian
176 Punishing Feng Guan Lian
Yue Bai Lian gazed at Lan You Nian with worry. She didnt expect Lan You Nian to outrightly kill someone. Yue Bai Lian wondered if she has caused trouble for Lan You Nian. But seeing Lan You Nian standing there cidly, Yue Bai Lians heart calmed. It seemed Lan You Nian had this ability of making peoples hearts feel at peace.
Within seconds, the guards flooded into the room, Even An Yi who was standing guard outside also came in. With him was fourth wangye Feng Xia Qi. As soon as Feng Xia Qi and An Yi came in, they looked towards Lan You Nian. Seeing she was alright, the two sighed in relief, then looked at the dead pce maid and realized what had happened.
Feng Xia Qi felt a little helpless. His familys younger brother had this kind of temper was enough of a headache for him yet now Nianer meimei was a simr temper, Feng Xia Qi can already see the aftermath after the twos marriage. He will definitely cleaning up the mess behind them.
Meanwhile, An Yis eyes glittered with worship, chanting non-stop in his heart, indeed deserving of being wangfei, domineering!
Your Majesty, where is the assassin? Feng Xia Qi stood there smiling gently and refined, like a imperial son who was concerned about the Empresss safety, but his eyes gleamed with the words Im very happy!
The Empress didnt have the chance to speak, Lan You Nian already said, The assassin has already been killed by me! With Lan You Nians words, not only was the Empress speechless, even Yue Bai Lian was made speechless by Lan You Nians words. These guards only listened to orders. With fourth wangye present, who dared to act impetuously!
You! the Empress wanted to refute but she knew if she made a big fuss of this matter, it was of no benefit to her. Not to mention that she wasnt favored by His Majesty, her son was in the process of taking the throne, she cant add to the chaos for her son.
Oh? What happened? Can Nianer meimei tell me? Feng Xia Qi asked. This was asked for those guards who came in. Something like this happened in the Empresss pce, there needs to be an exnation.
This pce maid was going to assassinate this princess in front of Her Majesty. Fortunately Miss Lan has some skills and took care of this pce maid, otherwise this princess today will... Yue Bai Lian said. Because Yue Bai Lian stood up to say this, it was even more persuasive.
It seems Her Majestys pce is really unclean ah for something like this to happen! Feng Xia Qi sneered, then without looking at the Empresss ckened face, he said, Since Her Majestys pce is so unsafe, benwang will send the two youngdies back home!
Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian curtsied to the Empress then followed Feng Xia Qi out of the imperial pce. As soon as they left, Feng Xia Qi asked, Are you two fine?
Lan You Nian shook her head. Yue Bai Lian gazed at Feng Xia Qi thoughtfully and gratefully said, Thanks fourth wangye for lending a hand! Feng Xia Qi waved his hand indifferently, then said, You two wait here. Im going to report to Imperial Father then send you two back!
Feng Xia Qi nced at An Yi. An Yi nodded. His duty was to protect wangfei. Even if fourth wangye didnt order it, he will do the same!
~
You Nian Pavilion was brightly lit withnterns. When Feng Yi Xuan returned to You Nian Pavilion, he found Lan You Nian still awake. He couldnt help asking, Nian Nian, why arent you resting yet? Most of the time if he waste, Nian Nian would sleep first. However, tonight Nian Nian didnt rest, not even her servant girls and shadow guards didnt sleep.
Xuan, I borrowed your shadow guards to do an errand for me! Lan You Nian took the initiative snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms. Recently, winter was almost here. The day the poison was going to rpse was almost here. Lan You Nian always felt very cold but Feng Yi Xuan felt very warm. Snuggling into his arms was morefy than sleeping on the bed by herself.
As for Feng Yi Xuan who encountered such as good thing as the beauty throwing herself into his arms, he felt immense pleasure. His mouth angled upwards, very natural as he picked up Lan You Nian like carrying a child. The twos posture was iparablypatible.
They are also your shadow guards. Youre their wangfei. It cant be called borrowing! Feng Yi Xuan said indifferently. If he wasnt worried that Nian Nian would think it bothersome, he would give all his forces to Nian Nian but that way Nian Nian would be busy, Feng Yi Xuan couldnt bear it.
En, I know! Lan You Nian nodded. When she had An Yi and the others go to the pce to do something for her, she thought they would first inquire with Feng Yi Xuan. She didnt expect them to joyously speed towards the imperial pce to do it.
Actually Lan You Nian wasnt aware that in the shadow guards hearts, Lan You Nian was the very best. Pleasing wangfei was better than pleasing wangye! Additionally, they saw through the matter, their wangye was a wife-ve. Wangye will definitely not turn back from this road of wife-ve. They best make ns early.
Although the two of them didnt say anything, but the atmosphere was very heart-warming, as if no one can enter between the two of them. Lan You Nian was just about to fall sleep when An Yi and An Si kidnapped an unconscious girl into You Nian Pavilions outer chamber. They knew very well that wangfei and wangye were in the inner chamber. If they let this woman pollute the inner rooms air, their crime will be horrendous.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian out of the inner chamber and looked over the unconscious woman sprawled on the ground. The woman was Feng countrys third princess Feng Guan Lian. Feng Yi Xuans brows furrowed. Such a woman, even if it was just staying inside You Nian Pavilion tainted You Nian Pavilions air.
Throw her into the courtyard! Feng Yi Xuan said coldly to An Yi. Feng Yi Xuan had a very poignant sense of territorial awareness. In Feng Yi Xuans mind, the pavilion was Nian Nians ce. Thus, a woman like this should not appear here. If they needed to deal with her, theyll deal with it outside.
An Yi and An Si immediately lugged up the unconscious Feng Guan Lian and threw her out into You Nian Pavilions cold courtyard. Zhang Lin and the others who were currently standing guard didnt show any surprise seeing the person was the imperial princess. In their eyes, their master was Lan You Nian, that was all!
Feng Yi Xuan enfolded Lan You Nian in a cloak, making certain she wont be chilled then carried Lan You Nian down the stairs of the pavilion. Lan You Nian snuggledzily in Feng Yi Xuans arms, her gaze cold as she looked at the unconscious Feng Guan Lian. Hurt her man, how can she let her go?
Ssh her awake! Lan You Nian red at Feng Guan Lian on the ground. Scanning Feng Guan Lian, Lan You Nian knew she was drugged by An Yi and the others. Though An Yi and the others martial arts was high, the imperial pce wasnt any ce anyone can enter, much less bringing out a princess? In this, this was not only because An Yi and thems high martial arts, it was also due to Feng Yi Xuans forces in the pce covering up for them, otherwise if it that easy, then couldnt anyone kill the Emperor in the pce?
An Yi and An Si were about to slip away to find water but noticed Zhang Lin and Lan Ren already lifted a pail of cold water to the courtyard. An Yi and An Si nced at one another,menting that their slow speed, allowing others to grab at it first.
Lan Ren wore a cold face, emotionlessly threw thete autumn pail of ice cold water onto Feng Guan Lian. Sure enough, Feng Guan Lian shuddered and snapped open her eyes. At this time, Zhang Lin continued to dump the other pail of ice cold water. Feng Guan Lian couldnt be anymore awake.
Feng Guan Lian looked at the people around her with wide eyes then saw Feng Yi Xuan who stood there with Lan You Nian in his arms. Feng Guan Lian wasnt stupid. At this time, she already understood that she was being retaliated against.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu, one carried a chair, one carried a warm teacup. Feng Yi Xuan sat down with Lan You Nian in his arms, taking the teacup from the tray in Lan Wus hand and handed it to Lan You Nian, fearing Lan You Nian will get cold.
At this moment, Lan You Nian who was pampered like a princess and the piteous Feng Guan Lian on the ground was the greatest contrast. Feng Guan Lian, though she hated in her heart, didnt dare show it on her face. She can live so well in the pce because she see through the circumstances.
Sixth imperial brother, this...whats going on? Feng Guan Lian stood up saying pitifully. The shivering body, delicate face can make people feel pity but its a pity that the people present didnt have any pity.
The one who brought you isnt Xuan, but me, Lan You Nian savored the warm tea in her hand, feeling her entire body warming up.
Miss Lan... Feng Guan Lian shed tears, begging, I know I was wrong. I was temporarily confused. Please ask Miss Lan to forgive me once. I will definitely be of use to sixth brother! She knew if she joined Feng Yi Xuans side, it was the best bargaining chip but she miscalcted Lan You Nians character.
Lan You Nian bam mmed the teacup in her hand at Feng Guan Lian. The quality porcin shattered, the warm tea water sshed everywhere. Feng Guan Lian was frightened by Lan You Nians sudden action.
You hurt Xuan, do you think you can escape so easily? Lan You Nian lowered her eyes, the slender eyshes covered the ice in her eyes. She smiled, like the beginning of spring of that night a hundred flowers were in full bloom.
Feng Guan Lian was a little afraid as she looked at Lan You Nian, Then what should I do for you to let me go? Feng Guan Lian thought as long as she overcame this, she will definitely not let Lan You Nian have a good death in the future.
Kneel! Lan You Nian pointed at the shattered porcin on the ground.
The ground of broken porcin, the tea soaked the blue gstone ground. Feng Guan Lian shrank into herself, but still slowly shifted over. When her knees touched the broken porcin, her face was instantly deathly pale, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down, her entire person and face was deathly pale as rice paper, on the verge of copse.
However Lan Wu went over to Feng Guan Lian to brutally pressed Feng Guan Lian down. Those broken pieces pierced through Feng Guan Lians knees. Feng Guan Lian wanted to stand up from the pain but how could Lan Wu allow her to get up? She held Feng Guan Lian down. Lan Wus lips revealed a smirk, making An Yi and the eyes shiver. Sure enough wangfeis people were different from other people.
The ice cold blue gstone pooled with fresh blood. Feng Guan Lians entire person was screaming from pain. As the imperial familys princess, when has she received such injuries? However much Feng Guan Lian hated in her heart, that was how loud her screams were. The current Lan manor was Lan You Nians world. Who dared to ask questions?
Just you? Lan You Nianughed at Feng Guan Lian in agony, Dare to covet my Xuan?
Let me go! I wont dare again! Thats all the Empress and second wangyes idea! Im just a woman. I was forced! Miss Lan, sixth imperial brother, please have mercy! I dont dare again! Feng Guan Lian begged in tears.
Pity its toote! Lan You Nians lips curled up in a dangerous angle, her eyes as water narrowed with a deep gleam, as if in deep thought, then said to Lan Feng, I heard you recently want to learn anatomy? Lan Feng recently was obsessed with anatomy dissection. It wasnt any psychotic idea, only a study into the medicinal field.
Yes, young miss! Lan Feng answered. In the beginning, Lan Feng learned anatomy with Gui San but Gui San wasnt a good teacher. He taught her a little then didnt continue to teach. Now Lan Feng was a dabbler.
What do you think of this corpse? Lan You Nian asked looking at Feng Guan Lian.
Lan Feng carefully studied her then answered, Though ugly, its eptable!
The master and servant twos barbaric words made the people in the courtyard tremble. They really never expected such good girls how could they have be so cruel? Feng Yi Xuan still very warmly looked at Lan You Nian, as if Lan You Nian did something he liked. It had to be said that Feng Yi Xuan was a little abnormal, a love that seeped deep into their bones kind of abnormality.
Then Ill reward it to you for you to y with! Lan You Nian walked out of Feng Yi Xuans arms,ing over to Feng Guan Lian. When Feng Guan Lian heard Lan You Nians words, her screeched in horror. Lan You Nian stood very close, that exhaustive scream made peoples scalp numb, the smell of blood that attacked her nose made Lan You Nian want to throw up.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nians brows furrow, then used An Yis dagger to effectively slice through Feng Guan Lians throat.
Lets go back! Feng Yi Xuan gragged Lan You Nians slightly cold hand.
Okay! Lan You Nian was carried by Feng Yi Xuan into the pavilion to sleep.
An Yi and An Si looked at Lan Feng curiously, Youre really going to dissect her? An Yi and An Si didnt have any other meaning, they killed people in an orderly manner, the ce of torture was the hidden prison, things like dissecting theyve really never seen before.
Lan Feng nced at the two, wordlessly, then dragged the Feng Guan Lian spitting blood to leave. An Yi and An Si were confused.
Since young miss gave orders, of course dissecting is a must. But well kill first before dissecting! Lan Wu kind-heartedly exined then left with Lan Qu, leaving An Yi and An Si in total disorder in the wind...
Chapter 177 - Leaving the Capital
177 Leaving the Capital
At daybreak, a ring of orange sunlight rose from the horizon, painting the earth engulfed in fog with ayer of dawns light. Though it was autumn, the thriving hoarfrost of early morning covered some of the grasnd. However, this wisp of lustrous golden brightness drove off the barrier of fog and condensed frost of morning like the cohesion of lifes blood once more invigorated.
A seemingly low-key but sumptuous carriage leisurely drove out of the capital. All four sides of the carriage were encased by the best brocade silk, the edge of the windows was iid with golden rims, with a quality ck crepe hanging over it. The inside of the carriage was extremelyfortable, thick cushions and soft pillows were arranged on the seats. In between them was a quality sandalwood table. In the innermost part, there was a cupboard with all the necessary appliances all assembled together.
The person driving the carriage outside was an expressionless man. This man was attired in ck, with an ice-cold aura, making people not dare to approach him. Sitting beside this man was a woman dressed in a green one piece dress. The two drove the carriage very slowly, afraid to disturb the people inside.
The inside of the carriage was carpeted with a soft white fur carpet. Feng Yi Xuan was gingerly holding Lan You Nian was who still resting. Looking at the girls wless face and that faint pink cherry lips, like a child, Feng Yi Xuan pecked her gently then licked her lips. Seeing Nian Nian sleeping so peacefully, he couldnt bear to wake Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan can only helplessly restrain himself, holding the girl, not letting the rocking of the carriage to disturb the girls sweet dreams.
They were setting off for the Medical Valley today but to refrain from allowing certain people from knowing Feng Yi Xuans departure from the capital,st night, the two decided to set off before the first ray of light broke over the horizon. So early in the morning, Feng Yi Xuan watched Lan You Nians cute sleeping face feeling his heart ache tenderly. Thus, he cradled Lan You Nian up the carriage letting Lan You Nian continue to sleep. As for Lan Jian Jun waiting outside Lan manor wanting to enjoin them with a few more words, Feng Yi Xuan didnt let him disturb Lan You Nians peaceful sleep.
Under the newborn sunlight, the carriage slowly left the capital heading in the direction of the Medical Valley. In the carriage, Lan You Nian finally woke up in a daze. That pair of eyes because of just waking from sleep was misty, her lips were cute, pink and pouty.
Xuan? Lan You Nian called out happily to Feng Yi Xuan. Only in this mans arms can she sleep so peacefully. If it wasnt for this man, even if it was a grand bed and soft pillows, she wouldnt be able to fall into a deep sleep.
Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nian call out his name in a tender and cottony soft voice, even carrying a hint of exclusive stickiness and spoiled. His heart instantly melted into a puddle of water. Even if this girl wanted his life, he would have no regrets.
Awake? Feng Yi Xuan murmured, his voice was so gentle as if it could melt Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian nodded, about to say something thenpletely sealed by Feng Yi Xuans warm lips, kissing along that soft pink lips. The mans gesture of leaning over her possessed an inarticble intimacy and tenderness. Lan You Nian shut her eyes, allowing him to lead her.
After the kiss ended, Lan You Nian gazed at Feng Yi Xuan with teary orbs. She didnt understand why every time they kissed, the one unable to stand it was always her. Was this man so valiant in the kissing department as well? And looking at Feng Yi Xuan still appearing unsatisfied, Lan You Nian shrank her neck, really afraid she will be gnawed by Feng Yi Xuan. After all, every time this man kissed her, he means to eat her into his stomach. At first, she could endure it, but in the end, she can only let Feng Yi Xuan kiss. Lan You Nian thought if she wasnt nearly faint every kiss, she didnt know how long this man will continue to kiss her.
Lan You Nian knew her clothes were disheveled, her lips swollen invitingly, in addition with that misty eyes gazing at Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Yi Xuan felt his soul melt. Holding back to the point it was excruciating, his body was nearly bursting, hating he couldnt take the little minx on the spot.
You really are a tortuous little minx! Feng Yi Xuan ferociously took a bite of Lan You Nians neck, but really going through with it, he was still very gentle, not biting but sucking, then smelling Lan You Nians fragrance to calm the impulse in his body.
Lan You Nian entire body stiffened with Feng Yi Xuans sudden move. That wasnt kissing nor biting, but it made Lan You Nian grow limp, as if her body was struck by electric shock, her face was shamefully red.
Xuan? Lan You Nian didnt dare move. She was aware of how painfully this man held back. Lan You Nians heart ached for him but was helpless, even more, she was touched. A man cing his lust behind you, enduring his sexual desire to treasure you, it was really rare.
Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan stared into Lan You Nians eyes intimately, Quickly grow up! Grow up quickly, that way, I can marry you as my wife, that way you are mine, Feng Yi Xuans. That way I can stay by yourself like this every moment every second.
Lan You Nian smiled, nodding. She knew Feng Yi Xuanmenting. After all, Feng Yi Xuan was already twenty years old. Usually men already had a harem of wives and concubine, many even had children who can run, but this man, up until now, hasnt touched a woman. Now he loved her, the two were usually connected together, shes really afraid he will break from holding back.
From the capital to the Medical Valley, if the carriage went at a slow pace, it will require four to five days. There were still many days before the day of Lan You Nians poison rpse, so they werent in a hurry. Feng Yi Xuan also wanted to enjoy the rare two person world with Nian Nian.
They snuggled in the carriage for an entire day. Lan You Nian was nearly bored out of her mind but as for Feng Yi Xuan, he was nearly mad from joy. Because the two stayed in the carriage for an entire day, so all day, Feng Yi Xuan always stroked Lan You Nians little hands from time to time, kissed Lan You Nians little mouth, what made Lan You Nian even more speechless is that her mouth was already swollen. This man always kissed her at random times, never tiring from his pleasure, Lan You Nian felt her mouth was no longer his,pletely numb from kissing.
Inparison to Lan You Nians depression, Feng Yi Xuan was extremely satisfied. All day today, he ate plenty of her tofu. This feeling of being with Nian Nian not thinking about anything was simply too wonderful. He really wanted to stick together every single moment.
Young miss, weve arrived at a small town. Will we rest here tonight? Lan Wu outside the carriage asked. Actually, she was worried for her own familys young miss. All day, she was outside with An Yi. Though Ming wangfus carriage was excellent, the curtain was extremely valuable, they can still hear the sounds from inside okay? Lan Wu can hear clearly that Ming wang takes advantage of young miss from time to time. At the time, she was about to save young miss, but she was stopped by An Yi.
Lan You Nian heard Lan Wus voice and sighed in relief. Shes never thought Lan Wus voice could be so pleasant to her ears. If she doesnt go out soon, she really will be eaten by Feng Yi Xuan.
En, find an inn for us to rest at! Lan You Nian said hastily, afraid Feng Yi Xuan will have some other ideas, then her ending...
Hehe... Feng Yi Xuan chuckled in pleasure seeing Nian Nian like this, his deep maicugh prated peoples ears, because ofughing, Lan You Nian sprawled over Feng Yi Xuans chest can feel the tremors of his chest. Lan You Nian thought this mansugh was even that wonderful to her ears.
An Yi who was outside hearing his masters joyousughter, also grinned. Before master met wangfei, master has neverughed so happily like this, even a small smile couldnt be any less in number. But because of wangfeis presence, master became a real person.
An Yi and Lan Wu found the best inn in the town. The carriage stopped. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian stepped off the carriage, attracting the attention of all the people on the street. Both people possessed heavenly appearances, beautiful as if heavenly beings. When has the people of the town seen such good looking people, bing stupefied from just looking.
When An Yi and Lan Wu entered the inn after putting away the carriage, they saw the entire inn was quiet. The men stared obsessively their young miss, the women stared obsessively at Ming wang. Lan Wu silently thanked her fortunes that they looked every day, otherwise who knows how dazed they would be.
Server, give us three of your best rooms! Lan Wu pped the table shouting. This woke many of the people up. Feng Yi Xuans face was ugly but these people didnt have any malicious intent so he held back frommitting murder.
Alright! the server instantly made the arrangements, leading Feng Yi Xuan four people to head up the stairs, then trembling as he withdrew. That man who looked like a heavenly gods expression was too frightening.
Arrange for dinner! Feng Yi Xuan dropped the words then carried Lan You Nian into the room.
Lan You Nian was carried into the room by Feng Yi Xuan and put her down. This Ming wang who usually had others serving him took out the luggage, changing out the bedsheets and such things in the room of the inn. Feng Yi Xuan had mysophobia but usually he didnt pay attention to all this stuff outside. Because of Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan couldnt help wanting to give her the best. Some of the things in the inn were used by others. How could Feng Yi Xuan let Lan You Nian use other peoples things.
Were just staying for one night. Theres no need for all that trouble! Lan You Nian said to Feng Yi Xuan who was currently making the bed. It was all stuff a woman should do but in their case, she was spoiled. There was no need to do anything else.
We still need to change anew! Feng Yi Xuan said obstinately. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan did this chiefly for her so she didnt reject him, thinking as she was going to help but was refused by Feng Yi Xuan, afraid Lan You Nian will tire herself.
After Feng Yi Xuan arranged all the stuff in the room, An Yi and Lan Wu brought in the dishes. Lan You Nian saw the dishes were nearly all ording to her own taste. Lan You Nian thought these people were really spoiling her rotten.
An Yi put down the dishes about to leave, Lan You Nian opened her mouth, Lets eat together! Deep in her bones, Lan You Nian didnt have any ss distinction. Although she required her subordinates to be loyal, that didnt represent subordinates were inferior.
An Yi has some previous understanding of Lan You Nians easy-going manners. A lot of times, they all saw You Nian Pavilions servant girls ate at the same table as wangfei. Wangye, actually, usually wasnt that harsh with them, but An Yi didnt move.
Sit! Feng Yi Xuan said, then everyone sat down to eat.
Young miss Lan Wu said while eating, Tonight there will be a lights festival in town, it will definitely be lively tonight! Lan Wu loved lively atmospheres, so hearing this from below, she in turn told Lan You Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan while picked dishes for Lan You Nian, asked, Nian Nian wants to go?
Lan You Nian considered it. Since theyre already out, as well as being bored stuck all day, its a good time to take a look at the local customs. Besides, Lan You Nian loved freedom, liked living unrestrained, so she nodded at Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan smiled indulgently, Well go look after were done eating!
Chapter 178 - 178 Lights Festival
178 Lights Festival
secretdreamwishes
The four of them exited the inn and noticed, though the night has arrived, the small town was bustling with activity, seemingly more lively than the daytime. Ladies dressed beautifully headed towards a clearing in groups of twos and threes. Many young handsome young masters went about on the streets. On both sides of the street, people set up stalls selling all kinds of little trinkets.
In order to prevent others from seeing Lan You Nians beauty, he put on a veil for Lan You Nian. That way, it wont cause a stir. Simrly, Lan You Nian didnt like others coveting Feng Yi Xuan so she found a mask that only covered the upper half of the face. That way, the two of them seemed mysterious and a perfect match. Fortunately, there were plenty of women wearing veils tonight so when everyone else saw Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian, it wasnt anything strange.
There were many folks on the streets. Feng Yi Xuan held tightly to Lan You Nians hand, fearing someone will bump into Lan You Nian. The two people were pressed against each other as they walked on the streets. From one nce, everyone can tell the two of them were a loving married couple.
Actually, this so called lights festival was merely a holiday that has been passed down in this little town. On the open grasnds, a raging bonfire was set up. Many men and women circled the fire dancing and singing. If one met a suitable male and female falling in love with each other, they would get to know each other, by this forming a happy match.
You guys can go y! Lan You Nian said to An Yi and Lan Wu behind her. The two grinned as they watched the towns custom. Theyre both in theirte teens or twenty years old, in the modern era, theyre still young people who just reached adulthood, but here, they have to shoulder too much, Lan You Nian sincerely wished them to be happy.
Lan Wu was a little hesitant. Though she loved to y, she was aware what time was appropriate for what. With young miss outside, everything needs to be taken care of. An Yi, as Feng Yi Xuans shadow guard, has never attended a festival like a normal person and so was fascinated by it. However, he knew his duty so he was going to refuse.
Go! Theres still me here! Feng Yi Xuan said. Actually, he couldnt wait the two lightbulbs to scram as soon as possible. That way, it counts as he and Nian Nians two person world. Feng Yi Xuan had absolute confidence that he can protect Nian Nian.
An Yi and Lan Wu considered Feng Yi Xuans strength and knew their worry was unnecessary. Wth Feng Yi Xuans care for Lan You Nian, anyone who dared to harm Lan You Nian would have to pass over his dead body.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nians hand like the most normal sweethearts walking on the towns street. All the way, Lan You Nian frequently stopped to look at the little trinkets along the street. Though it looked fun, she didnt particrly like anything. Without mentioning that as the master of Wu Qing Pavilion, she possessed countless things, just say Feng Yi Xuan, everything he gave her to use and eat were all the best.
Suddenly, Lan You Nian stopped in front of an inconspicuous small stall. Feng Yi Xuan naturally pulled Lan You Nians hand, following suit as he stood in front of the small stall and spared the small stall a nce. This small stall was manned by a elderly man over fifty years old. The stall sold things such asparatively cheap female jewelry. Lan You Nian naturally wasnt taken with any of those things. What interested Lan You Nian was that the elderly man can carve out some patterns you want to make hairpins and earrings such things on the spot.
Like it? Feng Yi Xuan eyed it then withdrew his line of sight. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, nothing and no one drew his gaze more than Lan You Nian. He clung to her every action and expression.
Lan You Nian nodded. It wasnt because of how the elders craftsmanship was exquisite. She only felt very curious watching a very ordinary bamboo or wood piece being carved into a lifelike flower within a moments time.
Feng Yi Xuan was about to fish out some money to buy it. After all, Nian Nian finally found something to her taste, though Feng Yi Xuan felt such crude things shouldnt be given to Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan respected the things Nian Nian liked.
Dont! Lan You Nian stopped Feng Yi Xuans action. She merely felt curious watching it. She didnt actually like it. In any case, she had no use for such things. It would only be a waste to buy it, I dont like it, only want to watch! Lan You Nian exined.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian truly didnt want it so abandoned the thought of buying it but seeing the elderly mans carvings, his eyes bloomed with a splendid brilliance, seeming to have thought of something amazing. Beside him, Lan You Nian was focused on the elderly mans craftsmanship so she didnt see Feng Yi Xuans bewitching radiance.
After they finished watching the elders craftsmanship, Lan You Nian held Feng Yi Xuans broadrge hands as she headed towards the grassy area where the stream of people were concentrated which was also the ce of tonights lights festivals bonfire was. Feng Yi Xuan feared Lan You Nian would walk too quickly and stumble so he used half of his body to shield Lan You Nian, letting her y without restraint like a child.
They followed the crowd over to a firepit in the clearing milling with crowds of people. There was no shortage of married couples and lovers amongst them. Feng Yi Xuan found a spot with fewer people and stood there with Lan You Nian, watching some women boldly and fervent dancing.
The womens dances werent anythingplicated, only using their limbs to express the passion in their hearts. Simrly, men surrounded the bonfire dancing or more masculine dance. Such an atmosphere made Lan You Nian want to stay.
Though Feng Yi Xuan wore a mask, but the jaw that wasnt covered up by the mask and those thin lips as well as the pair of wolfish eyes peering through the mask caused plenty of youngdies to look back at him. Feng Yi Xuans gentleness towards Lan You Nian made many of the women envious and couldnt help from wishing they themselves could obtain such a man.
Those women who coveted Feng Yi Xuan didntck a bold woman who actually slowly approached Feng Yi Xuan. Because it was a festival today, everyone jeered her on rambunctiously, wanting to see if this woman will seed.
Lan You Nian stared coldly at the slowly approaching woman. The female wore a smoky shallot green chiffon jacket and a floral emerald green flowing skirt. Her casual hairstyle was paired with a small yellow flower, lightly arched eyebrows, and light makeup. Her small face was sleek and lovely. From the looks of it, in this town she was quite a little beauty.
Feng Yi Xuan up to this point didnt spare that woman a nce. The womans eyes shed with bashfulness but thought she has to seize her own happiness. She can tell this mans clothing werent of an ordinary quality. This mans dominating aura was definitely of a young master from a prominent family. In this town she hasnt met a man suitable for her but if she can marry such a man, she can definitely leave this town to live a better life.
The woman also saw Lan You Nian whos hands were held by Feng Yi Xuan but men all had a harem of wives and concubines. The woman felt this girl probably wasnt the mans wife. After all what man will be so gentle to his wife. Gentleness was only for those novel-feeling concubines. Thus, the woman wanted to attract this man.
Young master The woman shyly took down the hairpin in her hair, stretching out her hand to hand it to Feng Yi Xuan. The towns custom was that a woman if she met a man she liked, shell give her hairpin to that man. If the man epted it, then he agreed. In a few days, he wille to her home to ask for her hand.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt even lift his head, only led Lan You Nian off to the side, afraid this woman will bother them. That disdainful look fell into the womans eyes, paining the womans heart.
Young master! the woman ran over to block the twos path, then said to Feng Yi Xuan, I like young master. Is young master willing to marry me? The woman looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She believed Feng Yi Xuan will agree. After all, she was pretty. Which man didnt like a pretty woman?
Why would he marry you? Lan You Nian asked humorously. Dont they say women were mostly shy and gentle? Howe this woman was so bold? If she liked someone, it wasnt her concern but she shouldnt covet her man.
Because... The woman discreetly nced at Feng Yi Xuan then said, Because I am fond of young master.
Hehe... Lan You Nian scoffed at the womans unreasonable conduct. How can there be such an egotistical woman? But he doesnt want to marry you. You best scram off now! Lan You Nian wasnt joking, really Feng Yi Xuan was already very irritated.
Im asking this young master. Who are you to interject! the woman pointed at Lan You Nian peeved.
Courting death! Feng Yi Xuan directly threw a palm of wind over that tossed the woman onto the ground, spitting blood. Lan You Nian shook her head. She told the woman to scram but she didnt listen so really shes suffering the consequences of her own actions.
Seeing Feng Yi Xuan was going to continue with an attack to end the womans life, Lan You Nian stopped him saying, Xuan, lets go! Not that Lan You Nian felt any sympathy, she simply didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to do too much killing for her.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded and disappeared with Lan You Nian into the crowd. Because of the twos bearing, most of the people didnt dare block them. Feng Yi Xuan, before departing, made a gesture to An Yi who wasnt far away. An Yi instantly understood.
Since you dare to be insolent to wangfei, how can master let her off? Masters belief was to kill! This woman wont live more than a few days, An Yi thought and quietly poisoned the woman sprawled on the ground. In half a month, she will die when the poison takes effect.
Nian Nian, dont get mad! Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian, silently entered the inns roomforting her.
Im not angry! Lan You Nian answered. How could she get angry over such a small matter? Its just, she wanted to have a good time to rx but instead her mood was ruined and she felt terrible inside. However, looking the man beside her, she felt nothing mattered. It was nice just like this.
Then lets rest early? Feng Yi Xuan saw it was prettyte suggesting. He scheduled Lan You Nians daily bedtime meticulously, afraid Lan You Nian would be ufortable.
Okay!
Chapter 179 - 179 A Surprise and Heart-Throb
179 A Surprise and Heart-Throb
November 25, 2019
secretdreamwishes
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian. In a few moments, Lan You Nian already fell asleep. Feng Yi Xuans eyes filled with love. Watching the young girls thin eyebrows that seemed to be sketched out stroke by stroke by the finest painter. Those closed eyes, the thickshes under the shine of the candlelight, brought out a small shadow under the eye. A small button nose, under which pink moist lips were like the perfectly bloomed flower, leading people to want to lower their head to have a taste.
Feng Yi Xuan pecked her as if an adolescent boy. From outside, An Yis lowered voice drifted in, Master!
Feng Yi Xuan cautiously got out of bed. As soon as he moved, he noticed Nian Nians arms reach out totch to his waist. Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with a smile but remembering he still had some matters on hand, he lightly pat Lan You Nians back, coaxing her a few moments before she was once again deep asleep. Feng Yi Xuan then reluctantly put on an outer coat and left the room.
The person? Feng Yi Xuans voice was lowered but the coldness flooding it. Thinking that Nian Nian was sleeping inside, Feng Yi Xuan was in a bad mood.
In the room! An Yi lowered his head answering. He felt that once master left wangfei, he became like ice. Though they as shadow guard were already used to it, one moment cold another moment hot attitude, making them unable to ept.
Mute him, bring him over! Feng yi Xuan stood outside the room. Although if he went to other rooms, it wouldnt take much time, Feng Yi Xuan knew as soon as he went too far, Nian Nian will wake up. Neither was he reassured that Nian Nian was alone in the room, so hell just stay outside the room, not only wont he disturb Nian Nians sleep, he can also take care of his other matters.
In a moment, An Yi lugged an old man over. Upon a careful look, wasnt it that old man carving hairpins on the streets that night? At this moment the old man stared at Feng Yi Xuan in fear. That night as he was closing up the stall and ready to go sleep, he was abducted by this man. He gave him a lot of money to have him teach the mans master to carve hairpins. All that money who knew how many hairpins he would need to carve to earn it all. The old man knew he didnt have any right to reject so he waited in the room in constant fear. Only now did he see the so called master.
The old man wanted to say something out of fear but he has already been muted so he cant make a sound. Feng Yi Xuan didnt want the old man to wake Nian Nian up by making any frightened sounds.
An Yi put down all the things from the old mans stall quietly in front of him, saying, Lets start now! He didnt expect master would suddenly want to personally make hairpins for wangfei. He even ordered the Ghost Realms people bring over the best phoebe fragrant wood.
The phoebe fragrant wood was priceless. Many families had only tiny piece of the phoebe fragrant wood and couldnt wait to revere it. Meanwhile master without batting an eysh brought it out to carve hairpins for the matriarch, without any bit of reluctance.
The old looked at Feng Yi Xuan, though he appeared indifferent and frightening but didnt do anything to him so he was a little reassured. Slowly, he started carving based on the pattern given by Feng Yi Xuan. The pattern Feng Yi Xuan gave the old man was the spider lilys pattern. Though he didnt like the meaning of this flower, but since Nian Nian liked it, he is willing to spoil her.
Feng Yi Xuan learned it seriously. He carefully watched as the old man used the tools to slowly carve out a spider lily on the piece of wood. Feng Yi Xuan also picked up a piece to practice on. Within moments, by Feng Yi Xuans feet, there was already a pile of wood pieces whose flowers werent carved very well.
The old man can also tell that young master did this to please the madame. More or less, he taught even more earnestly. Just like this, Feng Yi Xuan leaned on the rooms door using the tools to carve. If one piece wasnt good, then hell just continue, until it waste into the night, he carved out a somewhat decent hairpin.
Feng Yi Xuan rxed with a sigh, then took out the phoebe fragrant wood and slowly carved while the old man was silently taken away by An Yi. He was warned that the carving pattern tonight wasnt allowed to appear, otherwise he must be careful of his family.
Now that he wasnt carving on a regr piece of wood but the real phoebe wood, Feng Yi Xuan waspletely concentrated as he started carving. He carved for a long time before Feng Yi Xuan finished carving the hairpin. The purple-red phoebe wood looked life-like, without any ws. What made it odd was the strange demonic spider lily blooming on the hairpin.
Feng Yi Xuan had An Yi destroy the things on the ground. Feng Yi Xuan saw it was already veryte, dawn was almost breaking, Feng Yi Xuan grinned looking at the hairpin in his hand then silently entered the room.
Using his inner force to disperse the cold air from standing outside all night, waiting for his body to warm up, Feng Yi Xuan pulled off his outer robe and got into bed to cradle Lan You Nian in his arms.
Where did you go? Just as Feng Yi Xuan wrapped his arms around Lan You Nian, Lan You Nians voice broke with dissatisfaction. How could she not be aware of Feng Yi Xuan leaving in the middle of the night? Its only because shes surrounded by his scent that Lan You Nian was able to continue sleeping. She knew Feng Yi Xuan must be busy. She didnt want to bother him.
Did I wake you p? Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer, evading the subject. He wanted to give Nian Nian a surprise.
Lan You Nian buried her head shaking it, then grumbled, Without you by my side, I cant sleep well! She was already used to having Feng Yi Xuan by her side. Even if it wasnt on the same bed, it was in the same room. If Feng Yi Xuan wasnt present, she will return to her past vignt state.
Feng Yi Xuans heart was happy and sour, as well as a hint of guilt. He shouldnt have left Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan propped his chin on Lan You Nians head, smelling the fragrance in Lan You Nians hair saying, It wont happen again!
Really? Lan You Nian lifted her head asking, her expression serious and pouty.
Feng YI Xuans lipszily rose upwards. The prominent bridge of his nose served to make his eyes especially profound,rge palms lightly rubbing the soft, boneless delicate and smooth little hand, softly saying, Really! No matter where I go, I will always bring you, even if it is hell. Because I fear no one will love you as much as me.
Seeing it was gettingte, the two of them got out of bed. Feng Yi Xuan picked out some clothes and helped Lan You Nian dress then dressed himself. At this moment, Lan Wu carried in a basin of water for washing. The two started to wash up for the day.
Can I do your hair today? Feng Yi Xuan asked then without waiting for Lan You Nians reply, he dragged Lan You Nian over to the dressing table. Lan You Nian didnt resist. After all, this wasnt the first time. From the foreignness of doing her hair at the start, Feng Yi Xuan improved to the present of being able to do her hair up into several lovely hairstyles.
Lan You Nian still remembered she asked him how he learned out of curiosity. At that time Lan You Nian feared Feng Yi Xuan experimented on other women. Her heart reacted with a little panic. However Lan You Nian didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan used his own hair to practice on, just in order to do her hair one day. Lan You Nian still remembered that she was moved to the point of tears, and in fact she did cry.
After Lan You Nian was pulled out of her memories, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan held a very exquisitely carved woodenb, (it was one of her You Nian Pavilions things, she didnt expect Xuan even brought this over) focused and gentle as he hebed through the silky ck hair, his face warm and his actions gentle.
Lan You Nian, through the mirror, saw Feng Yi Xuans eyes were gentle behind her, only feeling her heart bing even softer. If every day in the future was like this, she thought, even if it was this in and simple a lifetime, she is willing.
Feng Yi Xuanbed very earnestly. After a while, the slender ten digits shuttled through her thick hair. Very quickly he did her hair into a simple but beautiful hairstyle. The remaining hairs poured over her back, like a waterfall. Looking at such a pretty and exquisite beauty in the mirror, Feng Yi Xuan kissed her face in satisfaction then took out the hairpin he carved all night and pinned it into Lan You Nians hair.
The ck nights hair, the purple-red hairpin, with the blooming spider lily, with boundless beauty.
Lan You Nian looked at the hairpin in her hair through the mirror. From the first look, she liked it very much. Whether it was the texture or the color, she was very fond of the spider lily. Lan You Nian caught a whift of the faint fragrance from the hairpin. That was the scent of phoebe wood. Lan You Nian didnt need to think to know that Feng Yi Xuan must have spent a lot of thought and effort to give it to her.
Lan You Nian turned around, stretching out her arms to wrap around Feng Yi Xuans neck, happily asking, Giving it to me? Lan You Nian smiled softly at Feng Yi Xuan, her smile as beautiful as the blooming flower of the third month, unparalleled brilliant.
Feng Yi Xuan immediately helplessly wrapped his arms around Lan You Nians slender waist, afraid Lan You Nian suddenly turning around will cause her to tumble, the pitch-ck and mysterious eyes filled with indulgence. The girl in front of him was like a girl that hasnt grown up, no matter how much he hugged, it wasnt enough.
Giving it to you! Feng Yi Xuan slightly lifted his lips, the smile was soft like water.
Xuan, did you make it? Lan You Nian asked longingly.
En, like it? Feng Yi Xuan smiled in reply as if that nights bustling wasnt anything, all for that like it?
Lan You Nian slowly smiled, on her tip toes, she kissed Feng Yi Xuans thin lips, expressing her love, Like it, Xuan, I like it very much! I like your consideration, like your tirelessly pampering, even more like you, this man.
Feng Yi Xuan heard the girl say she liked and was inexpressively happy. He smiled in satisfaction. The vermillion red lips were like flowers in full bloom, extremely beautiful, his low voice said, My Nian Nian, as long as you like it!
Lan You Nian thought the hairpin was personally made by Feng Yi Xuan and treasured it even more but she recalled Feng Yi Xuan didnt seem to know how to carve these, Lan You Nians smile dropped then pulled Feng Yi Xuans hand over her eyes. Sure enough, that pair of slender big hands was scattered with many inconspicuous tiny wounds, the dense wounds made Lan You Nians heart umonly sour.
Lan You Nian hurriedly took out the wound ointment she always carried with her and rubbed it on Feng Yi Xuans palm. The more she looked, the more Lan You Nians heart ached. After putting on the ointment on the entire hand, Lan You Nian lifted her head to look at Feng Yi Xuan, her voice a little upset, You didnt sleep all night just to make this?
En! Feng Yi Xuans arm enveloped Lan You Nian, their positions were intimate and tender.
Lan You Nian pursed her lips then leaned against Feng Yi Xuans chest. She liked to hear Feng Yi Xuans heartbeat, the sound gave her reassurance.
Xuan, what if you spoil me rotten? Lan You Nian mumbled stickly, her heart seemed to be as happy as resting on top a cloud, this man who treasured her was hers.
Continue to spoil, always spoil, because I will always spoil you! Feng Yi Xuans brows were gentle, those pair of purple eyes were also soft with spring water, shrouding Lan You Nian in them.
Its nice to have you! Lan You Nian replied warmly, as if saying it for Feng Yi Xuan to hear, also for herself to hear.
I will be good to Xuan too! Lan You Nian said earnestly.
My Nian Nian doesnt need to do so much, as long as you stay with me, en? Feng Yi Xuan lightly tapped her nose. How could he bear Nian Nian to do anything for him, as long as she stayed by his side, it was the greatest gift to him, after all, Nian Nians poison....
Okay! Lan You Nian smiled nodding. She knew Feng Yi Xuan spoke the truth. If she did anything, the one to feel heartache will be Feng Yi Xuan so shell just stay by this mans side. When theyre old, theyll still snuggle with each other like this.
Although Feng Yi Xuan wanted to continue hugging Nian Nian, he still faced the doors saying, Bring in breakfast!
Lan Wu, from An Yis mouth, already learned the things Ming wang did for her young miss. Her heart was sincerely happy for young miss. The more Ming wang treated young miss well, they as the subordinates were even more happy. Lan Wu felt her family was deserving of Ming wangs love.
Chapter 180 - Entering the Medical Valley
Chapter 180 Entering the Medical Valley
After all of them ate, they pressed on towards the Medical Valley, not for any other reason except Feng Yi Xuan felt Lan You Nians condition was getting worse. There was nothing to y during such a journey so they might as well get to the Medical Valley as soon as possible to rest.
Using a speed that was neither fast nor slow, on the afternoon of the third day, the four of them arrived at the outer forest of the Medical Valley.
Surrounding the entrance of the Medical Valley were several verdant green trees climbing with flower vines. Its dense green leavesplemented the purplish-red flowers, delicate and bright. From afar, they looked like beautiful satin. Sunlight streamed down through the gaps in the branches, embellishing the ancient wood linden branches and old bark, making it seem like a heart-moving painting.
Gui Yi and Gui Si waited at the entrance of the Medical Valley, but didnt allow Feng Yi Xuan and the others to enter. This was the rule of the Medical Valley, which is why Lan Wu and the others have never entered the Medical Valley all these years. It wasnt because Lan You Nian didnt trust them but because, in Lan You Nians eyes, Gui Yi Zi was like her own grandfather, so she listened as any obedient granddaughter, not wanting Gui Yi Zi to get angry.
This was the first time Lan You Nian brought someone to the entrance of the Medical Valley. Feng Yi Xuan and the others couldnt help feeling that no wonder so many people came to beg for treatment, yet they werent able to find anyone; just one entrance required so many twists and turns for so long, much less for the fact it was centered deep into the mountains and forest.
Gui Yi and Gui Si, dressed in blue robes, stood upright and tall in front of of the entrance. They observed their little junior sister whos face appeared rosier than before and felt reassured somewhat. Towards the man who stole away their little junior sister, they felt slightly better though they havent epted this man bing their little junior sisters man.
Big brother, fourth brother! Lan You Nians lips curved upwards as she sprint over to them. Hair whipped behind her as the girl smiled cleanly; it was dazzling. That was Lan You Nian who turned back into a little childs disposition in front of family. Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan eyed his empty arms and felt the stirrings of jealousy in his heart.
Gui Yi and Gui Si revealed their smiles as they gazed upon Lan You Nian who just ran over. Gui Si didnt forget to throw Feng Yi Xuan a look. Just because little junior sister became your fiancee, it doesnt mean little junior sister is yours! Look, little junior sister still cares for us very much!
Feng Yi Xuan stared coldly at Gui Sis smug look, hating he couldnt grab his sword for a battle, but one nce at Nian Nians joy like that of a little bird returning home, how could Feng Yi Xuan bear it? Fine, fine, just let them be smug for a while. In any case, Nian Nian will be his.
How are you feeling? Gui Yi worried with concern. After all, several days before the poison surfaced every time, little junior sisters condition was always very poor. With little junior sister not being by their side, they were extremely worried.
Xuan takes good care of me! Lan You Nian grinned in reply, the dazzling smile couldnt hide its warmth. She hoped shifu and her senior brothers can ept Xuan, for family and Xuan both meant a lot to her.
Gui Yi nodded with a smile. He can tell Ming wang took great care of little junior sister. The affection Ming wang gave little junior sister was something they as family couldnt give her, so that was why he gave up so easily and watched as the girl who monopolized his heart enter the arms of another.
Many thanks to Ming wang for sending little junior sister back. The Medical Valley doesnt wee outsiders! Gui Si went straight to the point; the meaning was very clearly: that is, chasing the other off.
Lan You Nian nked for a second. She hoped Feng Yi Xuan could return to the Medical Valley with her. She wanted him to see the ce where she lived previously; she wanted him to see her home. But seeing how fourth brother is, Lan You Nian knew this was shifus will.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt spare Gui Si a look. Instead, he walked over to Lan You Nians side, dragging the girl over to him, Wherever Nian Nian is, thats where Ill be! He wasnt unaware of the Medical Valleys rules. If it was any other time, he could wait outside, but this time Nian Nian was going to use the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. His heart wouldnt settle; he wanted to apany Nian Nian.
~
The three people stood opposite one another; not one of them was willing to stand down. The gentlemanly Gui Yi stood there like a light breeze. His little junior sister was taken by this man without a fight. All of them senior brothers were angry. Even shifu was so angered that he vented his anger on them countless times.
Feng yi Xuans vision fell on the two men, but there was not a thread of timidness. Noble as any king, his posture,nguid and casual, his bearing disclosed an invisible lofty imposing manner, as if no one can stop him.
Meanwhile, Lan You Nian, who was seized in Feng Yi Xuans arms, was dressed in white. Skin as white as congealed fat, posture leisurely, like a blooming lotus flower in high summer, elegant and demure, which waspletely out of ce with her panic because she knew they were all her most important people. They, on the other hand, wouldnt do anything that would make her upset.
Big brother, fourth brother, Xuan isnt an outsider! Lan You Nian said smiling. She knew very well that shifu and her senior brothers were probably annoyed by her sudden engagement, so they purposely made things difficult for Feng Yi Xuan; however, Lan You Nian couldnt bear for them to bully Feng Yi Xuan.
Hmph! Shifu hasnt agreed to let little junior to marry this Ming wang. How isnt he considered an outsider? Gui Si huffed, then made a move to drag Lan You Nian over. After all, since they havent married yet, how was it appropriate for Ming wang to embrace little junior so? However, before Gui Si had the chance to touch Lan You Nians arm, Feng Yi Xuan blocked him. The two instantly tangled up in a fight.
Every one of Gui Sis moves were aimed at Feng Yi Xuans most fatal spots. However, with one hand wrapped around Lan You Nian, the other hand fought with Gui Si. The two havent touched their internal strength, purely using their fists and feet. Lan You Nian was towed along by Feng Yi Xuan but didnt suffer any of the affects. This mans hands held up her entire sky.
Gui Sis hand to hand fighting was already very powerful. In addition, Lan You Nian gave him some modern kick-boxing and such techniques, so it was rare to meet a challenging opponent. However, simply like this,paring Gui Si and Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Yi Xuan single-handedly locked Gui Si into a draw. Gui Si had no choice but to admire.
The two of them withdrew at the same time. Feng Yi Xuans arm that wrapped around Lan You Nian remains unmoved. He gazed at Gui Si with admiration. In fact, no only he didnt use his entire strength, Gui Si didnt go all out either. After all, Nian Nian was still beside him. If they werent careful and hurt Nian Nian, they would regret to death.
Fourth brother? Lan You Nians eyes curved, acting a little spoiled. Beyond the surface, while Gui Si might seem to be the most cold-hearted of all the senior brothers, but as soon as Lan You Nian acted spoiled, Gui Si was powerless. And see, Lan You Nian just started to act spoilt, Gui Sis face began to soften.
Little junior sister, this is shifus will. Senior brother is powerless! Gui Yi said, at the same time blocking Gui Sis chance to yield.
Lan You Nians little mouth pouted. She was really powerless against this childish shifu, nor did she bear to anger shifu. Lan You Nian wanted to say more but she was stopped by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan looked at Gui Yi and Gui Si saying, You cant stop me!
Gui Yi and Gui Si knew if Feng Yi Xuan wanted to force his way into the Medical Valley, it wouldnt be an impossibility. However, Feng Yi Xuan liked little junior sister very much, then he wouldnt do anything to make things difficult for litlte junior sister, nor would he destroy little junior sisters home.
Xuan! Lan You Nian tightly gripped Feng Yi Xuans hand, then said, Wait for me! Lan You Nian was determined to enter the Medical Valley. She knew shifu loved her much much. If she went in to plead with him, shifu will definitely agree. If she simply allowed Feng Yi Xuan to be shut out, then how is she worthy of Feng Yi Xuans love?
How could Gui Yi and Gui Si not understand Lan You Nians intention? The two of them thought if little junior sister went to shifu and acted spoilt, shifu will definitely agree to anything. Gui Yi mulled over it for a moment, then said, Little junior sister, it would be inconvenient to go back and forth, much less for the fact that your body is still frail, lets just let Ming wang go in together!
Lan You Nian looked back at Feng Yi Xuan, mischeviously blinking her eyes. Feng Yi Xuan smiled dotingly. Hes already discerned the little chit was merely pretending in front of Gui Yi and Gui Si, all just to have them take the initiative to let him enter the Medical Valley. His little woman stood on his side, just thinking this made Feng Yi Xuan happy.
Feng Yi Xuan shot An Yi a look. An Yi instantly understood his masters will. Lan You Nian, too, nced at Lan Wu, wanting to ask Lan Wu if she wanted to enter the Medical Valley. Lan Wu directly waved her hand, Young miss, Im going to y with An Yi. I havent yed for a long time!
Lan Wu knew the rules of the Medical Valley and didnt want to create difficulties for her young miss. As long as she knew young miss thought of her as a friend, a sister, in heart heart, then it was enough. As for whether to go into the Medical Valley, Lan Wu didnt care. After all, theres people inside who will take good care of young miss.
An Yi Lan You Nian faced An Yi, This girl is troublesome; you look after her! Perhaps because in Lan Wu and the others eyes, their young miss was a child, but in Lan You Nians eyes, the others were also children.
Yes, matriarch! An Yi said. After all, it wasnt appropriate to call wangfei in front of outsiders outside, so while on the road, An Yi called Lan You Nian matriarch most of the time.
Young miss, am I so bad? Howe you cant be reassured about me? Lan Wu muttered with dissatisfaction, managing to find the time to shoot a re at An Yi. Letting such a cold person watch over her, how can she y ah!? Young miss was bing more naughty.
Not satisfied? Lan You Nian demanded, her tone a little dangerous. Lan Wu immediately rocked her head. While most of the time young miss seemed like a celestial fairy, if young miss wanted to y, then no one was her opponent. The oue was definitely neither able tough or cry.
Chapter 181 - Heavens’ Tears Heart
Chapter 181 Heavens Tears Heart
Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan held hands as they walked over to one of the buildings in the Medical Valley. This building seemed very ordinary and broken-down, but this ce was was filled with all kinds of priceless poisons and antidotes. This ce was where Gui Yi Zi usually hung around the longest especially since it was the ce where Gui Yi Zi researched all kinds of medical herbs.
Lan You Nian didnt enter the room. She really wasnt that interested in these bottles and jars. Especially since in the past, she went in before and knocked over many of shifus treasures, so for shifus sake, it was best if Lan You Nian didnt go in.
Feng Yi Xuan sat on the cotton-soft grassy area, then settled Lan You Nian onto hisp. The two faced each other with their foreheads pressed against each other. Each others vision only contained the other, as if it could no longer tolerate anything in this world.
Gui Yi Zi saw this scene as soon as he stepped out of the room. The tall and handsome man sat on the grass which didnt take away from his cold aura, but the mans eyes were extremely warm and gentle as they gazed on the girl sitting on hisp. The girl was docile and peaceful as the smile on her lips spread like warm sunlight, making one hate they couldnt instantly coddle such a wonderful girl in their palms.
Shifu? Lan You Nian saw Gui Yi Zi walk out, immediately leapt out of Feng Yi Xuansp and ran over to Gui Yi Zis side, pulling at Gui Yi Zis arm as she charmingly called him. As for Feng Yi Xuan, who stood up by himself in the same spot, he felt stuffy inside his heart. Clearly, he had the beauty in his arms, but as soon as the old man came out, he stole away Nian Nians attention. Sure enough, all his love rivals werent as big a threat as shifu.
Shifu! Feng Yi Xuan stood up and walked over to Gui Yi Zi, calling him. Though his voice was still cold, it contained a rare politeness. But this wasnt the most important. The most important was that Feng Yi Xuan dragged the little woman back to his side, making his heart feel a little better.
Gui Yi Zi could only watch as his obedient disciple was so easily stolen. Previously the backlogged fury that was due to Lan You Nians abrupt engagement instantly exploded as he pointed at Feng Yi Xuan, roaring, Let go! Have you not heard of keeping distance between man and woman? As he was saying this, Gui Yi Zi wretched Lan You Nian behind him, a picture of a mother hen protecting her little chick.
Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips. Across from him was Nian Nians shifu, not senior brothers, so he cant touch him. Feng Yi Xuan clenched the hands that wanted to make a move, then he hardened his voice saying, Nian Nian is my wife, my wangfei! So it cant be considered inappropriate between man and woman.
Hearing Feng Yi Xuan say this, Gui Yi totally blew up; his pure white little beard trembled with his anger, nearly jumping off as he despised he couldnt throw Feng Yi Xuan out of the Medical Valley, Has this old man agreed? I havent agreed! How can Xiao Nian Nian marry you?
Actually, Gui Yi Zi was quite satisfied with Feng Yi Xuan, but there was barrier in his heart that he couldnt cross over. The obedient disciple he watched grow up as if his own granddaughter was suddenly snatched away by a wolf while he wasnt even aware. The more Gui Yi Zi thought of this, the more upset he felt.
She will marry me! Feng Yi Xuan answered firmly.
Enough! Lan You Nian held back Gui Yi Zi who was going to throw a fit, saying helplessly. Howe shifu seemed like a child? Especially since Lan You Nian can tell shifus temper would be poor when he encountered Feng Yi Xuan. It wasnt any dislike towards Feng Yi Xuan, only a kind of psychological influence.
Its rare for me toe back, isnt shifu happy? Lan You Nian pouted.
Who said so? Shifu has waited for Xiao Nian Nian for a long time. This old man is so terribly lonely. Those stinky brats dont know a thing about taking care of me. If Xiao Nian Nian hasnte back by now, I fear you wouldnt be able to see shifu! Gui Yi Zi immediately started toin, not forgetting to nder his other disciples, not at all feeling embarrassed.
Nianer wille back often to see shifu. If shifu is bored, you cane find Nianer! Lan You Nians eyes creased as she grinned. She knew the more shifu aged, he seemed to be more like a small child. Once one bes old, they always fear loneliness. Lan You Nian hoped shifu wouldnt be so lonely in the future.
Feng Yi Xuan watched as Gui Yi Zi and Nian Nian walked as they chatted. The thick affection between the two made Feng Yi Xuan unable to feel jealousy, as if just seeing Nian Nian by his side, watching herugh happily, Feng Yi Xuan felt everything was worth it.
Because she hasnt returned to the Medical Valley for a long time, it was a rare asion that Lan You Nian cooked which endured Feng Yi Xuans heavy objection, but he couldnt win over Lan You Nians persistence. Feng Yi Xuan could only apany Lan You Nian into the kitchen as he watched Lan You Nian bustle about. As for making meals and dishes, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt familiar with it, neither did Lan You Nian want Feng Yi xuan to learn these.
Gui Yi Zi, Gui Yi, Gui Si, as well as Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan formed a full table as everyone happily and harmoniously ate dinner. At the time, Gui Yi Zi asked, Xiao Nian Nian, did you bring the Heavenly Spirit Fruit? After all, the most important matter of this moment was to assist Lan You Nian in using the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
Mhm, brought it! Lan You Nian swallowed the food Feng Yi Xuan picked for her before replying, then saw Feng Yi Xuan bring out a box and handed it over to Gui Yi Zi. Gui Yi Zi already finished eating, so he wiped his hands and retrieved the box.
Next, Im going to use the Heavenly Spirit Fruit to formte the cure, that way Xiao Nian Nians rpses wont be so painful! Gui Yi Zi sighed. In regards to that kind of pain, though they couldnt feel it, but their hearts were never at ease, especially their hearts ached helplessly. To be able to finally remove the pain from the poison rpse, Gui Yi Zi had spent a lot of effort to develop it.
You follow me to the medicine room! Gui Yi Zi said to Feng Yi Xuan, then headed towards the medicine room.
However, Feng Yi Xuan didnt follow him. Instead, he said coldly, After Nian Nian rests, I wille! When Gui Yi Zi heard this, it was rare that this time he didnt refute anything. Instead, he nodded. He could tell his little disciplesplexion was much better, which meant her sleeping at night was much more smooth. It was probably all credited to this man.
Feng Yi Xuan waited as Lan You Nian ate then pulled Lan You Nian back to the room since it was already gettingte. Feng Yi Xuan fetched some hot water and was about to take off Lan You Nians socks, Lan You Nian awkwardly recoiled her feet, then said, Ill do it myself! Then looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Soak feet together?
The two already took a bath that afternoon. Feng Yi Xuan simply considered the cold constitution of Lan You Nians body, so he wanted her to soak her feet. Hearing Lan You Nians words, Feng Yi Xuan smiled, then took off Lan You Nians socks, putting them into the warm water while he also took off his socks. The two peoples two pairs of feet soaked in one basin, appearing like a loving old husband and wife.
Once the two washed up, Feng Yi Xuan cradled Lan You Nian sleeping peacefully on the small bed in the room. This little bed was enough for Lan You Nian to sleep on but with the addition of Feng Yi Xuan, it became bafflingly not enough room. After all, Feng Yi Xuans height and frame wasparatively taller and bigger, it really was a little small but Feng Yi Xuan didnt care for it, as long the girl in his arms was with him, it was enough.
After Lan You Nians breathing had smoothed out, Feng Yi Xuan quietly left the room and headed towards Gui Yi Zis medicine room. Outside the medicine room, there hung several lovelynterns. In this pitch ck forest in the mountains, it appeared like a dazzling warm light.
Feng Yi Xuan knocked on the door of the medicine room. To speak the truth, he really rarely knocked on the door. Most of the time, he simply walked in directly, but Gui Yi Zi wasnt those other people. He was Nian Nians respected shifu. He was also the elder he wanted to thank.
Enter! Gui Yi Zis voice drifted from the medicine room but for some reason, one could hear there was a hint of mncholy.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed as he walked into the medicine room. The walls of the room were embedded with several glow in the dark night pearls, so the entire medicine room was very bright. Gui Yi Zi, dressed in blue, lowered his head as he currently held the Heavenly Spirit Fruit carefully preparing the antidote. Feng Yi Xuan didnt utter a word as he quietly sat on a clean chair in the room, silently waiting.
It was after several hours have passed that Gui Yi finally put down the medicinal things in his hand, then came over to the chair beside Feng Yi Xuan and sat down, grim and scrutinizing as he looked at Feng Yi Xuan, those eyes contained a hint of aggression, but didnt contain any malice.
Do you know why this old man let youe alone? After studying him for a while, Gui Yi Zi noted this man was a rarely seen sovereign of the world. He can tell Feng Yi Xuans deep care for his familys little Nian Nian, but as the guardian, Gui Yi Zi was still very worried. This was the meaning of so called phrase raising a child to ny-nine but worry to one hundred.
Its about Nian Nian isnt it? Feng Yi Xuan said. Simply just sitting in a in bamboo chair, it gave viewers the same feeling as if he was sitting at that lofty sovereigns throne.
Yes! Gui Yi Zi nodded gravely.
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly asked, startled Is it Nian Nians poison? Feng Yi Xuan was unaware that his voice carried a hint of trembling and fear, as well as heartache. Though he knew no matter where Nian Nian was, he will apany her, for not even Death can separate them, but if one could live, who would choose to die?
You must know the Heavenly Spirit Fruit can only relieve little Nian Nian of the pain from the poison, but it has no effect on the poison in the body Gui Yi Zi sighed, then continued Last time little Nian Nians poison couldnt be suppressed, the Fragrant Lotus was obtained, so she was unable to hold on for so long, but little Nian Nians poison can no longer be suppressed. If we cant find the antidote, Im afraid...
Gui Yi Zis worried voice reverberated in Feng Yi Xuans ears, like a basin of cold water pouring down from his head, instantly chilling to the bone. Even though the medicine room was as warm as spring, it couldnt disperse the coldness surrounding Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans previously emotionless eyes instantly became sharp as a de, so sharp it could cut through air.
No one can take away Nian Nian, no one! Feng Yi Xuans voice was indifferent as icicles hanging from an iceberg. Entering the ears, it was chilling. It contained a solemn conviction that was irrefutable.
Gui Yi Ziid his eyes on Feng Yi Xuan who was filled with darkness and killing intent, knowing inside that if anything happened to little Nian Nian, this man probably wont be able to live. The resentment towards the twos abrupt engagement dispersed with Feng Yi Xuans agitated expression. He was reassured that little Nian Nian had such a man who loved her so much.
How much of the antidote has been developed? Feng Yi Xuan stabilized his emotions. He wont allow anything to happen to Nian Nian. No matter what price he had to pay, he will make Nian Nian get better. They havent married yet, he hasnt given Nian Nian a wedding, he hasnt grown old with her, so how can he let anything happen to Nian Nian?
Ive already developed more than half of it. There is still a few that havent been developed. I cant promise to develop it before little Nian Nian dies from the poison Gui Yi Zi sighed with guilt. People of the world all say Gui Yi Zi can steal away someone from Lord Yama, but they dont know he had to watch the disciple he was most fond of tortured by poison and remain powerless to do anything. Most of Gui Yi Zis time was spent in the medicine room, tirelessly experimenting on the poison in Lan You Nians body. But this poison wasnt really person-it originates from poison, never seen or heard of before. If it wasnt Gui Yi Zi, an normal person would have died many years ago.
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly felt his heart was weighed down by a massive stone, making him unable to breathe. His eyes were a deep ck that mingled with a purple radiance, like the sky of a silent night and like tidal waves of an inky night, undting.
If the cure cant be developed, Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuans voice shuddered as he asked How long can Nian Nian hold on?
Seeing Feng Yi Xuan like this, Gui Yi Zi couldnt bear it, but he knew some things must be said, This old man doesnt know. Maybe it will be the next rpse, or perhaps next years rpse, or even decadester....
Feng Yi Xuans eyes gradually froze over, into des of ice. Those eyes were much more than just cial, for they were intermixed with a predatory, blood-thirsty darkness, as if they contained the urge to destroy the heavens and earth. Gui Yi Zi, noting this, was perturbed, for he had never seen such an expression.
However, this old man can definitely develop a cure. Currently, little Nian Nians medicine requires an herb, so this old man came to find you! Gui Yi Zi stated. Little Nian Nian was blessed, so she definitely can hold on for a few more days; he definitely can save little Nian Nian.
Talk! Feng Yi Xuanmanded inly. No matter what was needed, he will obtain it.
Nian Nians antidote contains one Heavens Tears Heart, and it is a purple Heavens Tears Heart. You should know how rare a purple Heavens Tears Heart is, so rare that it is hard toe by in centuries, but it is necessary. This old man knows you have the ability, so tonight I sought you out to inform you of this! Gui Yi Zi paused, then continued Additionally, I wanted to see if little Nian Nian picked the right person. I have to say you really are little Nian Nians perfect match!
Heavens Tears Heart is a type of herb. Ordinary Heavens Tears Heart, though umon, wasnt difficult to find, but purple Heavens Tears Heart was extremely difficult to find. Tonight, Gui Yi Zi had Feng Yi Xuane over: firstly, to talk about the poison in little Nian Nians body so he would have some warning; secondly, he wanted to see what was so great about this man to make the ice-hearted little Nianer fall in love; however, after attentively studying, Gui Yi Zi epted epted Feng Yi Xuan, more or less, but he wouldnt spare Feng Yi Xuan with his words; after all, stealing his beloved disciple, it was unforgivable.
I know! Feng Yi Xuan stated, then left the medicine room. Nian Nian was still in the room by herself; he wasnt reassured.
Hearing Gui Yi Zis words, Feng Yi Xuan, not for theck of worrying, wouldnt show it on his face no matter how worried he was. He knew the situation hasnt reached a point where it cant be saved. If Nian Nians poison required anything, he will obtain it. If Nian Nian cant pull through, he wouldnt survive alone!
Deep asleep, Lan You Nian wasnt aware that the man beside her bore the conviction of not separating in life or death, this night, and this man didnt sleep a wink the entire just as he simply gazed upon Lan You Nians sleeping face, as if no matter how much he looked, it wasnt enough....
Chapter 182 - Without a Doubt
Chapter 182 Without a Doubt
Lan You Nian stood in the stunning gardens of the Medical Valley with an exquisite facial structure, white skin, a pair of striking and pure eyes, and a faint smile hung on her face. From top to bottom, she was filled with energy. Amongst the hundreds of flowers, the person seemed to havepletely be one with the sea of flowers, taking everyone into a joyful domain, deeply mesmerizing ones heart.
Not far away from the girl stood Feng Yi Xuan. His robust physique was, in this moment, like a majestic mountain that continued on for a thousand miles, motionless against the torrents of winds and rain, only to safe-guard the smiling girl in the gardens.
Lan You Nian was aware that ever since Feng Yi Xuan returned from shifus ce that night, there was something wrong with him, because all of Feng Yi Xuans thoughts were on her, as if, if she were to leave in line of sight for a moment, he will be restless. Thest few nights the two of them slept together, most of the time she woke up in the middle of the night, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan didnt actually sleep as he stared unblinking at her.
At first, Lan You Nian wasnt sure what caused the change in Feng Yi Xuan, but after a few days, Lan You Nian more or less understood somewhat. Shifu probably told Xuan that the situation of the poison in her body wasnt optimistic. Lan You Nian knew how tricky the poison was, otherwise it wouldnt have dragged on for so many years. In the past, Lan You Nian felt that even if she died, there was nothing worth mourning, but now she had Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian suddenly wanted to live! She didnt know if she disappeared in this world, what would happen to Feng Yi Xuan. She didnt dare think about the possibilities!
Feng Yi Xuans eyes blinked as they watched the girl like an elf amongst flowers, his lips curled up into a faint smile. It was wonderful to watch Nian Nian like this; this was enough. But, Feng Yi Xuans eyes narrowed, immediately he ran over to Lan You Nians side to pick Lan You Nian up and headed over to the medicine room.
In just that moment, he clearly saw Nian Nians body shaking. For Feng Yi Xuans whose entire focus was on Lan You Nian, he immediately knew this was Lan You Nians poison rpsing this month. Feng Yi Xuans forehead beaded with sweat, all due to his unrelenting worry.
Lan You Nians pale, slender fingers clenched around Feng Yi Xuans clothes as she watched the furiously running mans frowning and worried face. Lan You Nian really wanted to reach out to smooth out the furrow between his brows, but the pain in her body made her unable to do so.
Nian Nian. Nian Nian...Nian Nian.. Feng Yi Xuan kept chanting Lan You Nians name as he used qinggong to race to the medicine room, not with any intent of receiving an answer from LAn You Nian, but as if only by calling out the girls name can his heart be reassured and calm the manic heart that wanted to kill.
Lan You Nian was unable to reply to Feng Yi Xuans plead, because she feared if she opened her mouth, her pained whimpers will escape. But no matter how much pain her body was in, because there was such a man by her side, Lan You Nians heart was warm.
Though Feng Yi Xuan felt the journey was far, it wasnt long before they arrived in the medicine room. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian, kicking open the wooden doors of the medicine room as he shouted Shifu, Nian Nian...
Gui Yi Zi instantly dropped all the herbs in his hands and went over to Lan You Nian to take her pulse. Because he knew Lan You Nians rpse will ur these one of these days, most of the stuff needed were already prepared. Gui Yi Zi steadily said to Feng Yi Xuan, ce her in the medicine pool!
There was a medicine pool in the room, the same one Lan You Nian used before, in the past. At this moment, the medicine pool gave off a potent and pungent medicinal smell. The entire medicine pool emitted a bluish tent. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian, gingerly putting her into the pool.
Make her drink this bowl of medicine! Gui Yi Zi fetched a bowl of ck medicinal syrup, gazing with worry on the shaking Lan You Nian, in the pool, the tone of his voice was not the usual but like a divine doctor, filled with a healers righteousness.
Feng Yi Xuan took the bowl of medicine; with one arm holding the shaking Lan You Nian, another arm held the bowl to feed Lan You Nian the medicine, but how could Lan You Nian be able to drink this right now? Feng Yi Xuans heart ached as he watched Lan You Nian and took a mouthful of the medicine from the bowl, then the two peoples lips pressed against another as Feng Yi Xuan pried open Lan You Nian cold lips and fed her the medicine in his mouth little by little.
The next part will be painful Gui Yi Zi came over to the pool and said to Lan You Nian, who was expression was already a little dazed Xiao Nian Nian, you must hold on. If it hurts, tell shifu. Shifu is here! Watching Lan You Nian like this, Gui Yi Zi wanted to reach out his aged hand to stroke Lan You Nians hair, but he put it down.
After Lan You Nian drank the medicine, she once again endured in the medicinal pool as her entire body violently shuddered. This kind of pain was simr to the pain every time the poison in her body took over. This pain seemed toe from the blood, from the bones, from the soul. The tormented Lan You Nian waspletely lost to the pain as her thoughts were no longer clear. She only knew she had to endure it.
The blood trailed from the corner of Lan You Nians mouth down her pure white chin and dripped into the pool. Lan You Nian was in so much pain she wanted to grab a dagger and stab it into her body as whimpers of pain escaped from her throat. But even to this point, Lan You Nian resolutely refused to allow herself to shed tears or scream.
Feng Yi Xuans entire body stood outside the pool, the blue veins in his muscles bulged as they strained. He watched Nian Nian suffer, watched Nian Nian in pain; it was as if someone took a de and mercilessly dug into his heart, little by little, bit by bit, the sharp de gradually advanced into his heart where the blood couldnt flow out as it clogged up inside, solidifying into the deepest red.
Can I go down to be with Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuans voice was hoarse, as if he feared to disturb Lan You Nian, in the pool. He feared if he rashly entered the pool, it will give Nian Nian any trouble, but if he had to stand here watching Nian Nian, he couldnt do it!
Gui Yi Zi was startled for a moment before he nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he realized Feng Yi Xuan already jumped into the pool. The words Gui Yi Zi wanted to say were shoved back. He didnt have the chance to say a person who wasnt poisoned would have to endure a pain that would be greater than little Nian Nian, but once nce at the man who jumped into the pool without an utterance, Gui Yi Zi suddenly felt even if Feng Yi Xuan knew, he probably will do the same thing. Gui Yi Zi sighed and left the room to stand guard outside.
Feng Yi Xuan jumped into the pool and enveloped Lan You Nian into his arms, as if only this way could he be reassured. And gazing at Lan You Nians lips that have been mutted by her bites, Feng Yi Xuan inserted his finger into Lan You Nians mouth. The alreadypletely unaware Lan You Nian bit down on Feng Yi Xuans thick hand and the blood overflowed, but Lan You Nian didnt release her mouth, nor did Feng Yi Xuan flinch away.
Suddenly, Feng Yi Xuan felt the pain in his body brought about by the herbs in the medicinal pool. Feng Yi Xuan grunted as his lofty stature shuddered in the pool like Lan You Nian. If it wasnt for Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan will probably lose allmon sense. After a few moments, there was fresh blood continuously pouring out from all over Feng Yi Xuans body, gurgling as it flowed. In a blink of an eye, it dyed the huge section of the pool red, a ghastly sight for anyones heart.
But even so, no pain can be discerned from Feng Yi Xuans expression. Besides the trembling body, one couldnt tell the fresh blood in the pool came from his body. Feng Yi Xuans already pale lips pursed, but as he gazed on the girl in his arms, the tips of his eyebrows tinged with adoration, his gaze so gentle that you could squeeze out water, as if no matter how much pain he was in, as long as Nian Nian was in his arms, for Feng Yi Xuan, that was heaven.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nian. I dont believe in gods, I dont believe in fate, I only believed in myself; but now, Nian Nian, you are my, Feng Yi Xuans, gospel; I dont me the Heavens, I dont me fate, but I wont allow you to leave me. As long as its for Nian Nian you, no matter what I must do, what I must endure, I, Feng Yi Xuan, will not hold any resentment.
In a crudely simple room, a couple embraced in a bloody pool of water. The mans tenderly as if treating a porcin doll, wrapped up the girl in his arms as the girl sunk her teeth into the mans palm, yet the mans expression remained gentle.
When Gui Yi Zi saw it was about time, he pushed open the doors, entered and saw this scene which moved him greatly. Scanning the bloody water in the pool, Gui Yi Zi knew the herbs in the medicinal water forcefully ripped open all of Feng Yi Xuans scars.
Times up! Gui Yi Zi said, about to help the two people in the water get out, but Gui Yi Zi had yet to enter the medicine room when Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian out of the medicinal pool, retrieving a cloak to tightly bundle Lan You Nian in. At this moment, Lan You Nianpletely lost conscious.
Gui Yi Zi saw a piece of meat was already bitten off Feng Yi Xuans palm, appearing especially savage and all the past scars the body had were reopened by the violent medicinal water, appearing bloody. Gui Yi Zi wanted to have the childs wounds treated, but one nce at Feng Yi Xuan whose eyes only contained his familys little Nian Nian, he didnt say a thing.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian back to her own little residence, hastily readied some hot water as he ced Lan You Nian on hisp and gingerly pulled off all of Lan You Nians clothes. Under the clothes, Lan You Nians body had curves in the right ces and the skin was delicate and smooth like a newly peeled egg. It really was a coquettish artwork made by the heavens. But at this moment, Feng Yi Xuans eyes didnt contain any lust, only heartache and seriousness, as if he was doing something sacred.
After peeling off all of Lan You Nians clothes, Feng Yi Xuan put Lan You Nian into the warm tub. Taking out a clean washcloth, he gently wiped Lan You Nians body. Even though it was his first time doing such a thing, Feng Yi Xuan was extremely gentle, afraid he will break Nian Nian if he used any force.
After diligently washing Lan You Nians body, Feng Yi Xuan picked up Lan You Nian and gently ced her onto the bed and tucked her in. At this moment, a knock came form the door. Feng Yi Xuans martial arts was very good so he already knew who was outside.
Feng Yi Xuan opened the door to see Gui Yi standing in the garden. Feng Yi Xuan nodded to Gui Yi, then closed the door behind him, afraid the cold winter breeze will enter the room. Gui Yis eyes shed, seeing Feng Yi Xuans considerate move, his heart feeling reassured.
Chapter 183 - Separation
Chapter 183 Separation
The two of them sat in the small pavilion in the gardens. Gui Yi took out a top-quality ointment and handed it over to Feng Yi Xuan, The wounds on your hands are severe, so its best to apply some ointment; otherwise, little junior sister will me herself! Gui Yi pointed at the wound on Feng Yi Xuans hand. Yet, with such a wound, Feng Yi Xuan acted like an unconcerned person and helped bathe Lan You Nian. The wound has been soaked in the water to the extent the skin was deathly white, appearing extremely grave.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, epting the ointment and applied it on himself. In the past, it wasmon for him to be injured, so concerning things such as tending to injuries, he was very knowledgeable of it, especially as he didnt like other people touching him.
Let me take your pulse to see if the herbs in the medicine bath has caused you any harm! Gui Yi said. When Shifu told him Feng Yi Xuan apanied little junior sister into the medicine pool, he was shocked. Though Feng Yi Xuan may have changed his clothes, thus making the wounds on his body hidden from the eye, how could Gui Yi, as an healer, not be aware of the consequences of ordinary people entering the medicine pool?
Feng Yi Xuan nodded. Though he already applied some ointment to his injuries, not that he was afraid of pain, but rather he was afraid if Nian Nian woke up and knew the things he did, she would be extremely upset.
Gui Yi carefully took Feng YI Xuans pulse. After a few moments, he chuckled, You really obtained fortunes from misfortune. These herbs were originally intended to ease little junior sisters poison, but now youve jumped in, not only does it not harmful to your body, though your old wounds have reopened, these medicinal properties actually help better heal your wounds. Your body and martial arts will see vast improvements in the future!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt expect such a result. In that moment, he didnt consider so many things. To say nothing of the fact it was just a medicine pool, even if it was a mountain of des or a sea of fire, as long as it didnt cause any harm to Nian Nian, he will follow without hesitation.
Mn. Feng Yi Xuan grunted a reply coldly.
Gui Yi shot Feng Yi Xuan a nce. Howe, in front of little junior sister, he was such a courteous man, but without little junior sister beside him, hell change face? Gui Yi believed, that only this kind of Feng Yi Xuan was worthy of little junior sister. Gui Yi shook his head, then prescribed some medicine for Feng Yi Xuan.
Once you leave the Medical Valley, boil medicine for little junior sister ording to this prescription for a month. Little junior sisters body is too weak and extremely depleted. This prescription can assist in little junior sisters recovery! Gui Yi said seriously. He knew little junior sister wont stay long in the Medical Valley before she has to leave for the capital. Neither Gui San nor Gui Wu, who were in the capital, were meticulous, so he can only have Feng Yi Xuan do these.
Yes! I know! Feng Yi Xuan epted the prescription, then headed in the direction of the little building, afraid Lan You Nian would be ufortable.
When Feng Yi Xuan entered the room, Lan You Nian hadnt woken up yet. The gentle sunlight serenely sprinkled on Lan You Nians fairy-like face, making her skin appear crystalline like jade, a pair of bright, colored ss eyes were tightly shut, shrouded by eyeshes like cicada wings, a cute petite nose, and full, seductive lips like a rose. As Feng Yi Xuan watched Lan You Nian, he followed her into dreand.
_________________
Aiya, little Nian Nian, youve only been back for a few days and now youre going back!? Gui Yi Zi pouted in displeasure, in turn, shooting Feng Yi Xuan several sharp res. After the day of the medicinal bath, Lan You Nian stayed in the Medical Valley for three days before preparing to go back to the capital. After all, with Feng Yi Xuan as a wangye of a nation, she as Lan manors legitimate daughter, it was about time they returned..
Lan You Nian let go of Feng Yi Xuans hand, sweet-talking Gui Yi Zi who was throwing a temper-tantrum, Shifu, its not like Nianer wonte back. How about shifu go to the capital with Nianer? Actually, Lan You Nian was reluctantly to part with Gui Yi Zi. All these years, it was Gui Yi Zi who acted like her grandfather as he took care of her. The first family Lan You Nian recognized was Gui Yi Zi. She wanted to do the things the younger generation should do, to make Gui Yi Zi happy.
Gui Yi Zi wanted to agree, but considering his little disciples poison, Gui Yi Zi deted. His greatest wish was to develop the antidote to little Nian Nians poison. Once Gui Yi Zi considered that in the past few days, if little Nian Nian wasnt practicing martial arts, she would be daydreaming, so it would be a good thing to return to the capital. This stinky brat wasnt bad to little Nian Nian, so he could be reassured.
Shifu is already a handful of old bones, so its better if I dont go. When shifu misses little Nian Nian, Ill go to the capital to see you! Gui Yi Zi gazed affectionately on Lan You Nian whod grown from a little doll that was dug up from the snow into a youngdy. Gui Yi Zi felt both astringent and proud in his heart.
After speaking with Lan You Nian, Gui Yi Zi turned to Feng Yi Xuan, but his face wasnt as good as he ground his teeth saying, You stinky brat, dont think just because youre engaged, youre my family little Nian Nians husband! If this old man learns youre bad to little Nian Nian, see how this old man will deal with you!
After the many interactions, Feng Yi Xuan understood Gui Yi Zi to possess the personality of a childish old man, so such impertinent words didnt make Feng Yi Xuan angry. This also rified Gui Yi Zi was beginning to ept he was going to be Nian Nians other half. Feng Yi Xuans face became slightly warm as he said, I will take care of Nian Nian, shifu!
At first Gui Yi Zi thought, based on Feng Yi Xians temper, he would have a sullen face. That way, he could tattletale in front of little Nian Nian. But Gui Yi Zi didnt expect Feng Yi Xians to be so respectful to him. Gui Yi Zi coughed, deliberately stern as he said,As long as you know it.
Meanwhile, Lan You Nian, Gui Yi, Gui Si snickered, because of Gui Yi Zis childishness. While their shift was respected by people outside, rumored to be both righteous and evil, in front of them, he was the grandfather who always took care of them.
Shifu, we should leave! Feng Yi Xians said. It was getting quitete. If it wasnt for Gui Yi Zis age, others would think they were a couple. Truthfully, Gui Yi Zi was too good to Nian Nian, and Nian Nian was very good to Gui Yi Zi. The two were really like a pair of grandfather and grandchild.
Gui Yi Zi considered they were standing at the entrance of the Medical Valley, rambling half the day away and still didnt allow them to leave, Gui Yi felt a little embarrassed, waving his hand as he said, Alright alright, you can go. If you have time,e back for a visit!
Lan You Nian nodded, then after bidding farewell to Gui Yi and Gui Si, she left the Medical Valley with Feng Yi Xuan.
As the two departed from the Medical Valley, Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian appeared a little down and picked up Lan You Nian as they walked on the rugged path in the forested mountains. His steps were steady, not allowing Lan You Nian to feel any turbulence, then said to Lan You Nian, Welle back often, how about it? Or we could reside in the Medical Valley?
Before meeting Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan was like any other ordinary man, possessing unbridled ambitions. His heart was too empty, so other things were used to fill it up. But now he had Nian Nian, he knew what he really wanted: it was only this girl.
Well just visit often in the future! Lan You Nian felt Feng Yi Xuan wasnt suited to retreating into the Medical Valley. He was the eagle in the sky. How can she allow him to be imprisoned in this tiny cage? She will follow this man as they soared together.
Oh right, Nian Nian, Im going to renovate Lan manor and expand You Nian Pavilion! Feng Yi Xuan walked as he spoke to Lan You Nian. As he said this, his eyes shed brilliantly.
Hm? Why are you thinking of repairing Lan manor? I think its pretty good, Lan You Nian relished being in Feng Yi Xuans arms as she muttered in confusion. Though Lan manor seemed quite in, You Nian Pavilion was quite luxurious. Inparison to the residence of the imperial familys princess, it couldnt be foundcking.
The tips of Feng Yi Xuans ears flushed, Nian Nian is already fourteen. In two years, you woulde of age. After youvee-of-age, I will marry into Lan manor! Fantasizing that every day he and Nian Nian can openly enter and leave together, live together, instead of sneaking into You Nian Pavilion like a thief every night, Feng Yi Xuan felt extremely excited just thinking about it.
Marry in? Lan You Nians voice was a little strained. She stared wide-eyed at Feng Yi Xuan in confusion. Howe he was still on that?
Mhm! Feng Yi Xuan grinned nodding, then continued, Didnt Nian Nian say you didnt want to marry? Since Nian Nian doesnt want to marry, then Ill marry into Lan manor! For Feng Yi xuan, as long as he can be with Nian Nian, whether it was Nian Nian marry or he marry in, it wasnt a problem.
Hearing this, Lan You Nians petite mouth gaped. In the past, she told Feng Yi Xuan she wouldnt marry anyone. At the time, she hadnt fallen in love with Feng Yi Xuan yet. She also believed she wouldnt fall in love with anyone, so thats why she said it. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to take it to heart. He had such status and identity, yet he was willing to do the very thing society would feel shameful. If Ming wang marries into Lan manor, who knows how much gossip it would cause, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt care for it at all.
Lan You Nian lifted her head, pecking Feng Yi Xuans jaw, then mischievously took a bite, I dont want. I dont agree!
Feng Yi Xuans entire body froze, staring at Lan You Nian in disbelief. Clearly theyre already engaged, why was Nian Nian still objecting? Feng Yi Xuans eyes were a little hurt as he looked at Lan you Nian, murmuring, Nian Nian?
Lan You Nian broke out into giggles, then her eyes curved as the smiles brimmed over her eyes. Under this azure sky, the flowers bloomed. Lan You Nian wrapped her arms around Feng Yi Xuans neck, Because I, Lan You Nian, wants to marry you, Feng Yi Xuan. I want to be your wangfei, be your Ming wangfus matriarch!
Feng Yi Xuan stared at Lan You Nian in disblief. He looked at Lan You Nian, those purple eyes reflected only Lan You Nians figure, leaving else remaining. It was clearly a wholehearted, deeply rooted love, too warm, too tender.
Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan tossed Lan You Nian into the air in joy. Lan You Nian was startled by Feng Yi Xuans sudden move as she shrieked, but within moments, Feng Yi Xuan had Lan You Nian back in his arms, happily saying, Nian Nian, Im so happy!
Lan You Nian was so startled by Feng Yi Xuans actions, her face was flushed, but looking at the obviously excited man, Lan You Nian wanted tough as she said, I will make you happy always! I will always stay by your side! So, Xuan, dont fear I will leave, because I love you!
Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians forehead, his voice wavering from emotion, Nian Nian, youre willing to marry me? Marry into Ming wangfu? Feng Yi Xuan was still in disbelief. Hes had the idea hell marry in for a long time.
Willing. As long as it is you, Feng Yi Xuan, I am always willing! Lan You Nian said some rare words of love. She didnt know how long she can hold on through the poison in her body. She didnt want to have regrets. Since she already fell in love with Feng Yi Xuan, then she will bask in the present.
So nice! Feng Yi Xuan grinned, then all along the way, Feng Yi Xuan bore a smile until the two left this piece of the mountain.
When the two walked out of the forested mountains, they saw An Yi and Lan Wu were already waiting there. Lan You Nian was a bit curious how they knew. Feng Yi Xuan leaned forward and whispered in her ear, I informed them!
Lan You Nian nodded, then saw Lan Wu hastily running over to her, Young miss, are you feeling better?
Mhm, the poison rpse wont be painful any longer! Lan You Nian smiled in reply. She was already much more rxed. No one wants to go through the tortuous pains every month. In the past, she was tormented to the point that death was better than life, she really did consider ending her own life.
Wuwu...Lan Wu broke into tears. She was happy. Young miss no longer has to suffer such overwhelming pain. Heaven knows, all these years, how they, the subordinates, see it and their hearts ache. Now, those days were over, finally.
Lan You Nian stepped out of Feng Yi Xuans arms, over to Lan Wus side and took out a handkerchief to wipe Lan Wus tears, her gaze was warm as a little sisters. She was really thankful for theirpany on those days. At first, it was as subordinates,ter, they became friends, then asrades. She was really blessed to meet so many people who cared for her in this life.
Lan Wu was embarrassed by her sudden tears as she blushed and lowered her head. She was used to being casual in front of young miss, but in front of others, she was a bit more reserved.
Master! An Yi came over to Feng Yi Xuan, Theres some problems with the border!
Feng Yi Xuan was startled for a moment. On his return, he brought a portion of the soldiers back. The ones he brought back were nearly all the military forces that belonged to him. Those left behind at the border were some mediocre or belong to another faction. Feng Yi Xuan had some people keeping watch on them.
Is it serious? Feng Yi Xuan asked.
Yes! An Yi nodded.
The two didnt keep the conversation from Lan You Nians ears, so Lan You Nian said, The situation at the border isnt a small problem. The imperial court is already starting to be in turmoil over the fight for the throne. If theres problems at the border, the country of Feng will encounter a catastrophe! Xuan, its best if you go take a look at the border!
Lan You Nian knew the borders were Feng Yi Xuans battlefield. Though this man was always gentle in front of her, but in his bones, he was a cruel and fierce wolf. Only Feng Yi Xuan going to the borders will intimidate those with nefarious intentions. Perhaps in the past Lan You Nian wouldnt have cared what happened to the country of Feng, but her family, friends, and lover were all citizens of Feng, then she couldnt ignore the matter.
Feng Yi Xuan knew what he had to do, so he said, Ill send you back to the capital, then Ill go to the borders!
Lan You Nian shook her head. She was very happy ced her in front of the country, and though she wished her man to forsake the world rather than forsake her, which Feng Yi Xuan was capable of doing so, but this wasnt the time for her prove his love, nor did she want to drag Feng Yi Xuan down. If the matters at the borders were dyed a single day, it was one added danger for Feng Yi Xuan.
No, Xuan, you go to the borders right now. You dont need to worry for me. Nothing will happen to me as I go back to the capital! Lan You Nian cajoled him.
Dont speak of it anymore, I am not reassured! Feng Yi Xuan hated he couldnt stick to Lan You Nians side every hour, every second. How can he be assured with letting Lan You Nian return to the capital by herself?
Xuan! Lan You Nian tugged Feng Yi Xuans hand, Trust me. Im not that weak. Im strong, so dont worry. If you really arent reassured, Ill let Lan Ren and the otherse to pick me up okay? How about it?
Feng Yi Xuan wanted to refuse but seeing Lan You Nians already hardened face, he knew if he didnt agree, hell make Nian Nian angry. Feng Yi Xuan could only nod, then was about to give some instructions to An Yi when he was interrupted by Lan You Nian.
An Yi will go with you. Not only are you worried for me, I worry for you the same. Letting An Yi go with you will reassure me! Lan You Nian said.
Towards Lan You Nians concern, Feng Yi Xuan was very pleased with it, so the two settled the matter. Feng Yi Xuan stood in the same spot as he watched Lan You Nian leave, until he could no longer see her figure, then coldly turned, Lets go!
Chapter 184 - Assassination by the Man in Black
Chapter 184 Assassination by the Man in ck
Young miss, are we heading back to the capital straightaway? Lan Wu asked. Actually, she hasnt yed enough. Being stuck with that cold An Yi for thest few days, she couldnt y to her hearts content. That man was too serious!
Hm, whats happened in the capital the recent days? Lan You Nian slowly walked as she asked. Because Feng Yi Xuan kept a close eye on her in the Medical Valley and Lan You Nian only wanted to enjoy the twos time together, she didnt allow any news to enter the Medical Valley.
Speaking of proper business, Lan Wu became more serious. Recently, the news sent by Lan Ren were all received by her, but they werent anything important.
Young miss, Feng Xiao Luos face ispletely disfigured by the poison on the way to Xue country. Now that shes married to that Xue countrys whatever wangye, death is better than life. Xue countrys wangye put Feng Xiao Luo in a firewood room, leaving her to die! Lan Wu said excitedly. They now know Feng Xiao Luos poison was applied by fifth young master.
Lan You Nian chuckled. Feng Xiao Luos poison wasntpletely cured. During that period of time, she couldnt feel any wind. If her skin did see any wind, it would cause the poison to act up and she would be disfigured. It seems this Feng Xiao Luo wouldnt live for much longer. Lan You Nian had to admire Feng Yi Xuans nning. First, he made Feng Xiao Luos face disfigured to make her afraid and tormented; then, he give her hope to make her believe she will get better; then, he helped Feng Xiao Luo pick a path that didnt bear any good fruit, but Feng Xiao Luo had no choice but to go for the peace marriage; and then finally, he destroyed Feng Xiao Luos everything.
Lan You Nian felt a burst of pride. This man acted like a fool in front of her, nor did he y these insidious tricks with her, but it cant be denied that Feng Yi Xuan, whether it was martial arts or schemes, is unmatched.
Shes on herst leg. Theres no need to spent much thought on Feng Xiao Luo anymore! Lan You Nian said. Though every country had Wu Qing Pavilions business, Wu Qing Pavilions businesses werent as stable in the other countries. Lan You Nian wouldnt ce unnecessary thoughts on useless people.
Yes! Lan Wu nodded and continued, Recently many members of the Empresss faction have been dismantled by fourth wangye. Even the Prime Minister Manor has been investigated and discovered evidence of bribery and corruption. The Empresss faction are starting to get desperate!
So fast? Lan You Nian was shocked. Of course she knew Feng Xia Qi will deal with the Empresss faction, but the timing was wrong. The two factions were pretty much split evenly. If one were to forcefully suppress the Empresss faction, it might be counterproductive. Feng Xia Qi didnt look to be such a rash person.
Yes, it appears fourth wangye wants to get rid of the Empresss faction as soon as possible. The Empresss faction already started their counterattack. Recently fourth wangye bore through some assassination attempts! Lan Wu said. Actually, she didnt quite understand these things, but Feng Xia Qis actions was obvious to many people.
It seems the capital isnt peaceful. The sky will change! Lan You Nian gazed in the direction of the capital with a smile that was as pure and beautiful as always, only
It seems the capital isnt peaceful-the sky will change! Lan You Nian gazed in the direction of the capital with a smile that was as pure and beautiful as it always has been, only the warmth in her eyes dimmed a little. The ck color glimmered within it, like a quiet pool that was unfathomably deep and cold to the bones.
Hire a carriage; lets go back to the capital! Lan You Nian knew the current condition of her body was still very weak, so she couldnt ride a horse. Lan You Nian will take care of herself, because she wanted to be together with Feng Yi Xuan until old age takes them.
Three dayster, Lan You Nians carriage arrived in the capital...
Young miss, are we going back to Lan manor? Lan Wu asked.
Go to Zhen Wei Pavilion! Lan You Nians voice was apathetic, and then she said Were being followed! As soon as they entered the capital, Lan You Nian noticed there were people following her. At that time, she didnt want to startle the snake.
What? Lan Wu gasped with wide eyes but didnt tantly scan around. Instead, she calmly nced over her surroundings, and sure enough, she saw some people were quietly following their carriage amongst the crowd of people in the streets.
Young miss, should we go faster? Lan Wu asked. Since theyve already entered the capital, they were only a few streets away from Zhen Wei Pavilion. If they go faster, they can arrive at Zhen Wei Pavilion, but it will also alert those who were following in the shadows.
No need. Just pretend you dont know! Lan You Nian sat in the carriage, with a peaceful expression. It seems a lot of people knew she arrived at the capitol that day. If she didnt return to Lan manor, it will cause more worry for those people who cared about her, but if she did return to Lan manor, shell most likely bring some unnecessary surveince to Lan manor; Lan You Nian felt it was best to deal with the matter outside.
Young miss, were here! Lan Wu drove the carriage over to the back doors of Zhen Wei Pavilion. Lan You Nian, dressed in white, stepped out of the carriage and said to Lan Wu, Inform older brother Im already back. Oh right, give brother Xiao Qi, brother Liu Li and the others a message too, to save them from worrying!
But young miss, youll be by yourself... Lan Wu said in disapproval. Lan Ren and Lan Feng were all sent out by young miss to deal with some of Wu Qing Pavilions affairs, so young miss didnt have any capable person with her. Lan Wu couldnt be reassured.
If Im not by myself, how could they have the opportunity to strike? Lan You Nians voice was cold and ethereal, like ice cold water. Under the guidance of the manager of Zhen Wei Pavilion, she came to her own personal room. Lan Wu already went to report her safety to those concerned parties.
Concerning the fact Lan You Nian has already returned to the capital but didnt go back to the manor, the concerned parties, more or less, had some guess at what was going on. They were especially afraid something would happen to Lan You Nian in Zhen Wei Pavilion while she was by herself, but they knew Lan You Nian had her own thoughts and ideas. If they interfered too much, it would only be a counterproductive move.
Lan You Nian had dinner at Zhen Wei Pavilion and then stood in front of the window to watch those who followed her in the morning. On the street that Zhen Wei Pavilion stood on, she saw several people within the crowd, whose eyes kept flickering over at Zhen Wei Pavilion, seemingly afraid shell run.
Lan You Nians room was a remote single room in the back of Zhen Wei Pavilion. Gui San had this living space specially prepared for her. In the past, when they werent aware Lan You Nian was Lan manors legitimate daughter, they worried about Lan You Nianing to the capital, so this ce was constructed for her.
Night quietly arrived. Lan You Nians eyes suddenly opened, because she heard some nking sounds outside her room. Lan You Nians charming and alluring eyes were grim. Her eyes rose with heavy waves. They were finally here? Without Feng Yi Xuan by her side, how could she fall deeply asleep? Her martial arts werent poor; she was distinctly aware of every one of these peoples moves.
Lan You Nian put on the outer robes ced beside her bed and then opened the window. She leapt out,nding on the roof, overlooking the several assassins dressed in ck who were outside her room, with des drawn, and fire and oil out. Lan You Nian smiled serenely. These people actually wanted to burn her to death!
Just as Lan You Nian prepared to deal with these people, she suddenly noticed someone else approached the rooftop of Zhen Wei Pavilion. Lan You Nian didnt know whether the person was enemy or friend, so Lan You Nians eyes coldly watched the man clothed in ck.
The man in ck didnt expect to see Lan You Nian here. His mission was to kill Lan You Nian. This would save him time to go search for her. The man in ck, in an instant, emitted killing intent. Lan You Nian was especially sensitive to killing intent, but she wasnt afraid. After all, whos killing intent wasparable to Feng Yi Xuans?
The man in ck drew his sword and attacked Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian smiled and didnt move. Just as the mans sword was only a finger away from Lan You Nians neck, Lan You Nian moved. Her body suddenly retreated; her speed was so fast that the man in ck couldnt see clearly. At this moment, the man in ck knew the girl was a martial artist master, but there was no opportunity for him to retreat.
The assassin using qinggong shed over to Lan You Nian, his sword pointed at Lan You Nians heart. Lan You Nian took out the dagger she always carried with her. In a blink of an eye, she appeared behind the assassin. The assassin was horrified as he realized the girl who was just in front of him, under the de of his sword, suddenly appeared behind him. Lan You Nians dagger drove down at the assassins heart without a sliver of mercy, but the assassin wasnt an amateur either as he quickly shed away, so Lan You Nians dagger only sliced through the assassins arm.
Lan You Nians eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the assassin. In those pair of eyes, there was a flood of piercing brilliance, making her eyes appear as des. The moment the assassins nced at her eyes, he immediately looked away, not daring to continue to look into them. At this moment, the assassin knew he has encountered a master martial artist. He must leave to report to his master to be careful of this Lan manors legitimate daughter. This was a dangerous person. With this thought, the assassin circted his qinggong to escape.
Lan You Nian watched as the assassin no longer lingered on the battlefield as he used qinggong to leave. The smile on Lan You Nians lips became cunning and evil, appearing especially enticing. Her entire person glowed with brilliance. At the same time, that smile made people fear, not daring to approach.
Lan You Nian chased after the man in ck. The man ran for a while, and when he thought he had escaped, the assassins forehead drenched with sweat. This girl gave him a feeling of extreme danger, making people fear, like a demon summoned from hell. The assassin was grateful he was able to escape, otherwise his life would end here tonight.
Are you tired of running now? The young girls voice gave off a soft and delicate feeling, but in the assassins ears, it was the sound of ghosts. The assassin lifted his head, looking at the girl dressed in white who stood atop a tree branch in front of him, unrestrained and carefree as the ink ck hair fluttered behind her with a pair of crescent eyes brimming with delight, the two rows of teeth shone under the moonlight, so beautiful that it was impossible to describe. If one were to say she came from the Heavenly ne of celestial beings, it wouldnt be an overstatement, but at this moment, the assassins eyes flooded with horror.
The assassin never expected Lan You Nians qinggong to be so good, like a spirit as she she appeared in front of his eyes. Such a sudden appearance from a young girl he thought would be easy to kill, the assassins heart has already reached the point of terror.
The assassin grit his teeth, raising his sword and rushed at Lan You Nian, his expression vicious as he attacked Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian appeared like a celestial maiden of the ninth heaven as she retrieved two strands of silk. The soft silk, in Lan You Nians hands, was harder than any sword yet at the same time soft, making it impossible for the assassin to get close to Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian seemed to have be bored of ying, as the long silk seemed to have grown a pair of eyes as the man in ck was unable to escape from its attack no matter what he did; then, the long silk pierced through the mans chest, bringing up a strand of fresh red blood. The man gaped in shock at his chest that was pierced through by the silk and tumbled over.
Lan You Nian expressionlessly retracted the silk. The silk which pierced the man didnt have a shred of blood. The entire silk was clean as white snow, like any normal ribbon that was used by ady to dance. Who could have known that this was Lan You Nians weapon of death?
Taking out a vial of medicinal water, Lan You Nian dripped a drop of it onto the body. In an instant, the body melted into a puddle of blood water, as if no such person ever existed in this ne. The blood water absorbed into the dead leaf pile on the soil and disappeared.
Third brothers dissolving corpse water really is pretty good! Lan You Nian put away the dissolving corpse water as she muttered to herself; then, she headed towards Zhen Wei Pavilion. She hasnt forgotten there was a zing fire waiting for her.
At this moment, Lan You Nian was unaware that there were people at Zhen Wei Pavilion who have gone crazy with worry....

In the pitch-ck night, as people were starting to fall asleep for a restful night, they received a piece of terrifying news. Lan Wu already reported to Lan Jian Jun and the other concerned parties that Lan You Nian wouldnt be returning to Lan manor due to some matters demanding her attention. Though they were worried, they didnt inquire into it. But at night, when they received the news that Zhen Wei Pavilions courtyard caught on fire, they all raced over to Zhen Wei Pavilion, in full blown fear.
Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian rushed out of the manor and galloped on horseback over to Zhen Wei Pavilion. Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An and the others, after receiving the news, also hastily raced over to Zhen Wei Pavilion. Despite knowing that Lan You Nian wasnt a powerless female, they still feared inside their heart; they still worried.
When they arrived at Zhen Wei Pavilion, they noticed Zhen Wei Pavilions courtyard was already aze with roaring mes. The fire spread rampantly. The entire courtyard was burnt to the point it was no longer recognizable, nor were they able to see if the people inside were still okay.
Wheres Nianer? Has Nianere out? Lan Jian Jun was still wearing his sleeping robes. In this very moment, Lan Jian Jun wasnt the great heroic general people saw; he was merely a father who was nearly going mad with fright. He jerked at Zhen Wei Pavilions steward as he roared at him.
Zhen Wei Pavilions steward was also so anxious that he wanted to cry. If some misfortune befell Miss Lan, he had no face to continue living. He was stared down by Lan Jian Juns stare that seemed as if he wanted to devour him. He stuttered as he said, I dont know! I didnt see Miss Lane out!
With these words, Lan Jian Juns entire body nearly fainted. His daughter! His daughter was still in the fire! Jing Wu An, Yu Liu Li, and Feng Xia Qi, who raced over on horseback, hearing this, all paled. Feng Xia Qis body tumbled down from the horses back.
Xia Qi! Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li immediately leapt off their horses, helping up Feng Xia Qi who crashed to the ground. They were equally worried and afraid in their hearts. The girl they regarded as a little sister and confidante, has something happened to her? No! It cant be! In the past, shes suffered so much hardship. How can the heavens bear to be so cruel as to continue tormenting her?
Lan Mo Xian pried away his fathers hand that was about to kill the steward. His eyes were bloodshot as he watched the fire that filled up the entire sky. Both Lan Jian Jun and Feng Xia Qi were prepared to run into the fire. Lan Jian Jun was held back by Lan Mo Xian, while Feng Xia Qi was restrained by Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li.
Let go! Feng Xia Qi yelled at his two good friends with a cold expression. His heart was in excruciating pain. He always knew that he liked Lan You Nian, this girl who was as intelligent as a sprite. But he believed himself to only like her a little. However, it was only this moment in time that Feng Xia Qi realized he really really liked that girl. Maybe it started from the awe of first sight to the admiration and respect in the end. He had to admit he really liked, really loved Lan You Nian. Even if the one Lan You Nian liked was his own younger brother, even if he can only hold the identity of a friend, of a brother, he did not resent or regret, as long as this girl doesnt leave this world.
Lan Jian Jun struck his son Lan Mo Xian with his hand and was ready to charge into the sea of fire. His daughter was still inside, the daughter he felt guilt and heartache for was still inside. In the past he didnt fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Now, he must do his utmost to protect his daughter. If something happened to his daughter, he will follow his daughter. That way, their family may be reunited in the underworld.
Just as Feng Xia Qi was ovee with grief and wanted to break away from Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lis obstruction, Lan Jian Jun was already starting to charge in the direction of the sea of fire.
Whats wrong? a soft voice sounded. In the noisy environment, it was hard to hear but everyone heard it clearly. Everyone, with an expression of joy, turned their heads around. Sure enough, they saw Lan You Nian stood not far from them, in a white outfit without a speck of dust. The pair of pure ck eyes that were like zed ss was watching them as they shed, clear and bright, indifferent, but there seemed to be specks of stars hidden inside.
After Lan You Nian dealt with the men in ck and returned to Zhen Wei Pavilion, she saw the courtyard, in Zhen Wei Pavilion, she lived in was aze with a roaring fire. Lan You Nian already guessed this was the case. What she didnt predict was the suffering people outside the courtyard, a struggling Feng Xia Qi with bloodshot eyes, and Lan Jian Jun who was about to charge into the sea of fire.
Lan You Nian had to admit that at this moment, her heart was warmed. These friends and family sincerely cared for her. And towards Lan Jian Jun, though she was gradually epting this father, her behavior and actions were still estranged. But at this moment, this father, without regard to anything, wanted to jump into the sea of fire to save her. Lan You Nian felt as if everything in the past disappeared in this zing fire. To have such a father, it should be a great fortune.
Feng Xia Qi saw the girl standing there safe and sound, his entire being was thanking the heavens at this moment. Feng Xia Qi, while everyone was overjoyed, broke away from Yu Liu Lis restraint and came over to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian, seeing such a Feng Xia Qi, who was concerned about her, felt she didnt acknowledge this older brother in vain. These friends were all sincere.
Lan You Nian wanted to console the others by saying she was fine but she was suddenly enveloped into an embrace by Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi hugged her tightly. In this moment, he sensed he liked this girl much more than he thought possible. Just let him hug her for a while-just a moment-because once he let go, this girl will be his little sister, his dimei (def: younger brothers wife/sister-inw).
Youre not hurt! Thats good! Feng Xia Qis voice was filled with a intense worry and gratefulness. It was the first time he was so close to Lan You Nian, so close that he can feel the slender body of the girl in his arms and the faint bodily fragrance.
Lan You Nian didnt think too much into it, or that is to say, Lan You Nian was a total dummy when it came to her EQ. Otherwise, how could she not understand Feng Yi Xuans feelings for her, in the past? Now seeing Feng Xia Qis agitation, Lan You Nian only believed it to be the worry of a friend, an older brother, for her.
Though Lan You Nian didnt overthink, other people frowned. They were aware what kind of man Feng Xia Qi was. Underneath his warm as spring surface, the coldness in his bones wasparable to Feng Yi Xuans. When they saw Feng Xia Qi hugging Lan You Nian tightly, Jing Wu Ans dark and gloomy eyes filled with worry.
Feng Xia Qi hugged Lan You Nian for a moment before letting go. After sorting out his emotions, the expression he showed was only that of a worried older brother. This made Lan Mo Xian and the others believe they were mistaken.
Nianer meimei, are you injured? Feng Xia Qi asked with concern. However, his heart felt extraordinarily happy over the previous hug. He wont do anything that will hurt Nianer meimei, nor would he steal the girl his own younger brother viewed as his life. He only desired to see them happy.
Lan You Nian smiled, shaking her head, saying, Of course Im fine. Sorry for making you guys worry! Lan You Nian, though she didnt want to admit it, seeing everyones worry for her, she was touched. She hadnt known these people for very long but you couldnt wipe clean the feelings between them. Perhaps she already flooded by these human emotions.
At this moment, Lan Jian Jun strodeboriously over to Lan You Nian. Seeing his daughter safe and sound, therge stone in his heart was released. Lan Jian Jun reached out his coarse, callous big hand to lovingly stroke Lan You Nians ribbony long hair. Lan You Nians body stiffened, intending to dodge but when she recalled the image of Lan Jian Jun preparing to race into the sea of fire, Lan You Nian nted herself to her spot, allowing Lan Jian Jun to stroke her head.
Lan Jian Jun, seeing such a well-behaved daughter, who no longer repelled him, his face clouded with vicissitude and joy. Those eyes gazing at Lan You Nian were filled with fatherly love, his mouth moved, Were you afraid? Next time, no matter what happens, you must return to the manor. That is your home!
Lan You Nians mouth opened and closed several times, then tentatively said, Father... Her voice was light and sweet, carrying with it a quiver she wasnt aware of, but it was this acknowledgement of father that made Lan Jian Jun freeze, the big hand on Lan You Nians head didnt know what to do with itself.
Lan You Nian blinked her big eyes, not understanding why this father was lost for words at such a time. Hadnt he always hoped to hear her call him father? Howe she called him father, yet he didnt give any reaction? Lan You Nian was at a loss.
But Lan Jian Jun suddenly thrust Lan You Nian into his broad embrace. This was a fathers embrace. Lan You Nian can sense the reassurance that this embrace gave her. It was different than the reassurance Feng Yi Xuan gave her, but simrly, she didnt dislike it.
My daughter! Lan Jian Juns voice was flustered. Tonight, from the worry at the beginning, to the bleeding heart after seeing the raging fire, then to the agitation of seeing Lan You Nian was fine, and now for Lan Jian Jun to hear a call of father, he was in disbelief.
Your father.... Lan Jian Jun was overjoyed. In all these years, this was the happiest day for him after his wifes d eth but Lan Jian Jun was so happy he didnt know what to say. He only knew the daughter he neglected finally forgave him. He now had a son as well as a daughter.
Lan You Nian can sense Lan Jian Juns flustered and fatherly heart, so like an obedient daughter she lightly patted Lan Jian Jun then withdrew from Lan Jian Juns embrace, saying to the others, Thank you for everyones concern, Nianer is fine!
Thats great. We were so worried! Lan Mo Xian came over to Lan You Nian, scanning over her. When he confirmed that his younger sister was indeed fine without any sign of injury, he was much more at ease.
Yeah! Yu Liu Li and Jing Wu An came over to Lan You Nian toin, You dont know how scared we were! Xia Qi was so scared out of his wits he tumbled off the horse. For the noble fourth wangye to be so unsightly, if those youngdies who admire you saw it, how upset they would be!
Uh... Lan You Nian stared in disbelief at Feng Xia Qi then saw Feng Xia Qi fly into a rage and threaten Yu Liu Yi. It really destroyed his image ah!
Alright alright, everyones been busy all night. Nianer meimei has already received a scare, you better go back! Feng Xia Qi said without batting an eysh. Speaking of which, which eye of yours saw Lan You Nian received a scare? Isnt it because you did something embarrassing so you want to evade?
Everyone knew the truth so they all grinned, expressing their understanding. Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li stayed behind to handle the remaining matters. This fire was simply too strange. It was obvious that someone deliberately set the fire, and it was targeted towards Lan You Nian.
Lan Jian Jun brought his son and daughter back to the manor. Originally when they came, they rode with two horses. Now it was already the middle of the night, where could there be another horse to be found? Lan You Nian was about to say something but then saw Lan Jian Jun have her ride on hisrge horse while Lan Jian Jun led the horse in front.
Father, you ride sons horse. Ill lead it! Lan Mo Xian said seeing his fathers actions.
No need, you quickly ride back to the manor! Lan Jian Jun looked very disdainfully at his son as if with his son here, it will disturb him and his daughter. Lan Mo Xian, seeing his good intentions was been disdained, also led his horse apanying his father walking on this deserted street.
Lan You Nian, who saw that broad form leading the horse for her, her heart was happy. Perhaps this was the fatherly love she longed for unknowingly.
Feng Xia Qi, seeing Lan You Nian leave, said to Jing Wu An, Investigate carefully just who has the guts to to not only set fire in the capital but dares to hurt Nianer meimei!
Em, I know! Jing Wu an nodded, his face grim. Feng Yi Xuan already sent a letter saying there was a problem at the border and asked them to take good care of Nianer meimei. If anything happened, they would feel very guilty themselves.
You also rest early. Recently the court has been turbulent. You must attend the morning court tomorrow! Jing Wu An said, With me and Liu Li here, you can rest assured!
Feng Xia Qi nodded, then left on horseback and headed in the direction of the manor. However, midway, he met a woman he never would have thought of.
Yue Bai Lian blocked Feng Xia Qi. In fact, she also heard the news and came a littleter than Feng Xia Qi. When she arrived at Zhen Wei Pavilion, she saw the scene of Feng Xia Qi hugging Lan You Nian. Perhaps others believed it to be the concern of a friend, but Yue Bai Lian knew that it was love, the same hopeless love as hers.
Feng Xia Qi looked at Yue Bai Lian who stopped him. Yue Bai Lians brows arched like faraway mountains, eyes inky ck with an exquisite appearance, a seeming finely made and priceless white dress was worn on her body, which made her seem like a white plum blossom. Perhaps due to running over in a hurry, her hair was slightly disheveled and her face was flushed from exercise.
Feng Xia Qi dismounted from the horse, politely asking, Princess Bai Lian, is there something? He was aware of the feelings Yue Bai Lian had for Lan You Nian, so naturally he wouldnt vainly believe that Yue Bai Lian stopped him in the middle of the night because she fell in love with him.
Can we talk somewhere else? This ce is too dark nor is it a good ce to talk! Yue Bai Lian curtsied to Feng Xia Qi, like a noble princess, that is to say, she is a noble princess.
Feng Xia Qi pondered it for a second and agreed. However it is night, so there wasnt any ce to go. Feng Xia Qi knew Yue Bai Lian and Lan You Nians rtionship can be considered that of friends so he wasnt so guarded against Yue Bai Lian.
If Princess Bai Lian doesnt mind, we can gather at my manor! Feng Xia Qi said with refinement.
Good! Saying so, the two quietly entered fourth wangye manor without rming anyone nor did anyone know Yue Empires princess entered fourth wangyes manor in the middle of the night.
Feng Xia Qi personally poured a cup of tea for Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian received it with a smile, Thanks!
Now can Princess Bai Lian say why you came looking for benwang? Feng Xia Qi narrowed his fox eyes, smiling, but even though his smile was gentle, it cant conceal the scheming in his bones.
I want to be fourth wangyes wangfei!
Chapter 186 - Arriving at the Borders
Chapter 186 Arriving at the Borders
What? Feng Xiao Qis foxy eyes widened, gaping at Yue Bai Lan with shock, suspecting he misheard.
Yue Bai Lian still wore a demure smile as she said earnestly, to Feng Xiao Qi Fourth wangye didnt mishear. This princess wishes to be fourth wangyes wangfei, or side consort is fine too. Is fourth wangye agreeable?
Feng Xiao Qi studied Yue Bai Lian carefully. The superficial gentleness has dispersed from his face, revealing a sharpness as he stared at Yue Bai Lan, as if he wanted to see into Yue Bai Lians heart, to see what exactly this noble and beautiful woman was shining, but after a while, Feng Xiao Wi still didnt understand what Yue Bai Lan wanted to do.
Benwang doesnt believe Princess Bai Lan is in love with this one, and doesnt Princess Bai Lian like Nianer meimei? Feng Xiao Qi asked straightforwardly, even frankly pointing out her feelings, without an hint of awkwardness.
Yue Bai Lians face stiffened for a moment. She wasnt afraid of Feng Xiao Qi knowing she liked Lan You Nian. She had never felt ashamed of her feelings.
Yes, this princesss feelings hasnt changed. This princess confesses to liking Nianer, or perhaps even deeper than like. I love her! Yue Bai Lian smiled; then, she lifted her eyes to gaze at Feng Xia Qi, saying Doesnt fourth wangye like Nianer?
Feng Xia Qis entire body stiffened. He personally believed he hid his feelings very well. At the very least, most of the people by his side wasnt aware of his feelings. He didnt expect the woman in front of him to see through him.
Nianer is benwangs younger sister, of course benwang likes her! Feng Xia Qi was only startled for a moment. If one didnt pay attention, they wouldnt notice. He didnt want to ce Lan You Nian in an awkward position because he liked her.
Yue Bai Lian felt more admiration for Feng Xia Qi, seeing him like this. This man was the same as her. Even though they both loved Lan You Nian, they didnt have any desire to steal her away, only silently protect her, behind the scenes. Such a person wouldnt have any conflict of interest with her.
This princess doesnt have any other intention. This princess saw very clearly fourth wangyes emotions and actions. If you dont like Nianer, why were you so worried? Even if its a little sister, isnt fourth wangyes worry a little too over the top? Yue Bai Lian forged on aggressively.
Feng Xia Qi remained silent. At the scene of the fire, when he saw Lan You Nian was safe and sound, he couldnt hold back his turbulent emotions, so he embraced Lan You Nian. It seems his actions were seen through by this Yue Bai Lian, but so what? He Feng Xia Qi has never thought of doing anything to Lan You Nian. His conscious is clear.
Seeing Feng Xia Qis eyes were sharp but was silent, Yue Bai Lian went straight to the point, This princess requires a candidate for the marriage alliance, but this princess only loves Nianer. Since fourth wangye likes Nianer too, I want to marry fourth wangye, only hoping to find a ce to settle down, to be able to help Nianer should she need it, in the future, to watch over her!
Feng Xia Qis eyes recovered some degrees of warmth. He didnt expect Yue Bai Lians thoughts to be the same as his, only asking to quietly protect the one they love. Once he rose to the throne, he will require a wife, but he had no other thoughts towards other women; however, this Yue Bai Lian was different. If the two of them were together, whether it was for the imperial court or for himself, it was the best choice. He and Yue Bai Lian could protect Nianer meimei, in the future, to protect his younger brothers and Nianer meimeis love.
Has Princess Bai Lian thought it over? Feng Xia Qi still appeared as handsome as he usually did, elegant as bamboo, his eyes were extremely gentle. One could very easily see he was exceptionally cultured, as if no matter what was said to him, he would never get angry, making people couldnt help but want to approach him, but his eyes were filled with seriousness. This wasnt a mariage alliance but a solemn vow betwen the two.
Yue Bai Lian returned his gaze with the same seriousness, En! What she needed wasnt a husband nor someone to depend on. What she needed was a sheild, a marriage to shield her feelings. Feng Xia Qi was the best candidate.
I can be your wangfei, ept concubines and birth for you. The only thing I cant give fourth wangye is my love. Has fourth wangye finished considering? Yue Bai Lian asked, pointing out the pact between the two of them.
Feng Xia Qi showed the usual foxy, gentle smile, raising the teacup of cooling tea and took a sip, Benwang only needs a wangfei, one who can stand side by side with benwang, one who can take care of benwangs inner courtyard. Princess Bai Lian is the best choice! As for taking concubines, hes never thought about it. In the past, he hoped to find a woman he loved, to spend a lifetime with, but now hes found that girl, she wasnt his, then why go scourge other women?
Then this princess will await fourth wangyes good news! Yue Bai Lian stood up, curtsied and left fourth wangyes manor. MMeanwhile, Feng Xia Qi stood in the study, gazing at the vast starry sky, thinking of the exchange between him and Yue Bai Lian, and then silently came to a decision.
Yue Bai Lian was a good woman. Feng Xia Qi believed Yue Bai Lian will be a good wife, a good wangfei, a good mother of the country. such a woman, though there wasnt love, it was a very good confidante. To spend his life with such a woman, feng Xia Qi felt he could ept this, especially as the same person was in their hearts.
Meanwhile, at the borders, the huge winds made it appear even more deste. Feng Yi Xian, with An Yi tagging along, by making haste on a hurried journey, finally arrived at the borders. Actually, based on the speed they were going, it wasnt possible to reach the borders in the amount of time they did, but Feng Yi Xuan wanted to deal with the matters as quick as possible and go back to see his Nian Nian, so no matter how much they didnt rest and hurried on the road all night, they were able to arrive at the borders within this time.
Feng Yi Xian flew of the horse and headed straight for the clusters of tents. Before he could get near, a soldier stopped him. Under the darkness, the soldier wasnt able to see Feng Yi Xuans face clearly, but the dutiful soldier reprimanded, Who? Dares to trespass into the main camp?
The main camp was where the army discussed important matters such as the lineup of the troops. Usually, besides some military officer of high position and great authority, no one was allowed to enter. It was heavily guarded. If it wasnt because of Feng Yi Xuans superb martial arts, the moment he entered the borders, he would have been intercepted.
Feng Yi Xuans lips curled into a cold line, his eyes contained a ruthless killing intent, making that soldier fearfully cower. This man was too frightening; just one nce from him was frightening.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt in a good mood, or that is to say, ever since he separated Lan You Nian, he was in a bad mood, so bad-tempered that he wanted to murder someone. Yet this soldier didnt fear death and charged forth. If this soldier wasnt merely doing his job, Feng Yi Xuan would have killed him.
Who! From the tent drifted a rough masculine voice. Who is making all that noise outside! A man wearing armor walked out of the tent. He was around forty or so years old, with a thick beard on his face, making him extremely valiant.
When the bearded middle-aged man saw Feng Yi Xuan, his entire body trembled; then, immediately performed the military greeting, Greetings to Ming wang! As soon as the soldier heard this, he fell down to his knees in fright.. In the military camp, who didnt know Ming wang, leading troops with heroic ability but equally fierce and decisive, not only ruthless towards his enemeies, he wasnt soft-handed when it came to his own people.
Feng Yi Xuan stared icily at the two and then, without a word, walked into the main tent. The bearded man immediately followed behind him. He noticed Ming wang was even colder than he was in the past. Didnt he hear Ming wang was already engaged to Lan Jian Juns daughter? Howe he was still the same? He really didnt understand how Lan Jian Jun dared to marry his daughter to Ming wang. Just the cold air around Ming wang was unbearable.
Talk! Feng Yi Xuans low voice carried a dignity that emitted from his bones. Those who heard involuntarily tightened their muscles, their entire bodies became tightly strung.
The bearded man below him was Feng Yi Xuans subordinate, named Li Zhong. Feng Yi Xuan brought many of his own people back to the capital, but left Li Zhong behind to manage the affairs at the border.
Despite having served Feng Yi Xuan many years, as well as being much older than Feng Yi Xuan, Li Zhong not only respected but was also full of fear towards this Ming wang, who was well-versed in schrly and military arts. Anyone who has seen Feng Yi Xuans capabilities will be afraid. But, fortunately, Li Zhong, much like his name, was a loyal person, so Feng Yi Xuan ced him on an important position.
Lii Zhong respectfully stood below, saying, Recently many people have been nted inside the camp and many people have been promoted. These are all officers of the Empresss faction. This subject cant stop them!
Li Zhong saw his superior remained expressionless, not even showing a hint of fury, so he continued, This subject also noticed these officers are colluding with the country of Yue, but couldnt find any evidence to arrest them. These people want to create a mess at the borders!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt utter a sound. Instead, he shot An Yi a look. An Yi immediately got his masters meaning and left the tent. Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan waved his hand to let Li Zhong leave the tent as Feng Yi Xuan just sat in there.
Actually, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt at all worried about all thats happened. These were merely those people at court wanting to create turbulence at the borders so the military forces in his hand had no choice but to pay full attention to the borders, so that they could do whatever they want in the capital. But was that really so?
At the borders, Feng Yi Xuan had his own residence. Even though Feng Yi Xuans returned to the capital and lived there, that was Ming wangs residence so no one dared to enter. However, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel any sleepiness. Feng Yi Xuan gazed at the sky outside the tent, wondering if Nian Nian has slept yet, if shes tucked in properly. The more he wondered, the more Feng Yi Xuan wanted to return, hating he couldnt immediately fly back to Lan You Nians side and enter dreand while holding her.
Feng Yi Xuan sat in the main tent for an entire night. If he was really tired, he would sit there and doze for a few moments. He realized, without Lan You Nian, it was the same wherever he slept, because no matter where he was, h was highly alert, without a hint of peacefullness.
Master! Just as the heavens hazily brightened, An Yi darted into the main with the cold wind.
Feng Yi Xuan, the second An Yi neared the main tent, opened his eyes. Those eyes which havent rested for many days on the road didnt show a trace of exhaustion, or that is to say, he wont allow anyone to see his exhaustion.
Let all the officers enter! Feng Yi Xuans voice carried a cold air, as if no one can make man possess any warmth. There was indeed one such girl who can let him possess an ordinary persons warmth.
An Yi nodded and went out,menting for these officers, who think theyre so clever. Why couldnt you guys picked a different time to revolt? Instead, you chose to bother at the time when master and their matriarchs feelings were thickening, now master is in a bad mood to the point it couldnt be any worse, those people wont have a good ending.
When An Yi appeared in the tents of several high-position officers, those people were given a fright. Who of them didnt know the ck garbed, cold-faced man was the guard under Ming wang. Many times, this mans appearance represented Ming wang. Those officers who made those little moves were so fearful they wanted to run away, but was it possible to run? Of course not
When eight, including Li Zhong, officers came to the main tent, they saw Feng Yi Xuan sitting on the pitch-ck chair at the top. He was like king surveying his territory, distinguished, elegant, and supreme.
Chapter 187 - Marquis Jing’s Wine Addiction
Chapter 187 Marquis Jings Wine Addiction
Greeting Ming wang! several voices rose in unison, none of which wasnt a deferential salutation.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt tell them to rise; instead, he flung the evidence that An Yi obtained after investigating an entire night, at the officers. Out of the eight highest-ranking officers, four belonged to the Empresss faction. They even dare to collude with the country of Yue, wanting to let Yue take advantage of the opportunity to get in andy assault to the country of Feng to create internal turmoil.
The four officers saw the scattered papers on the ground. Written on them, in ck and white, without a single doubt to its credibility, was exactly what they have done, and were attached with their correspondences with Yue country. There was no way they could acquit themselves of me. In the beginning, they thought they could gain some profit froming to the border. They didnt expect Ming wang to arrive to the border as quickly as he did, even investigating all their crimes in such a short time.
You people are daring! You dare to get up to these little tricks right under benwangs nose! Feng Yi Xuan suddenly snapped open his half-lidded eyes. A cold light shot out of his eyes, like a sharp de, directly shot at the four people kneeling on the floor.
The four people hastily kowtowed, begging mercy, Ming wang, have mercy! This isnt this subjects fault. It was second wangye who threatened us! Begging Ming wang to let us go this time.
When ones life was at stake, the so-called loyalty, in these peoples eyes, wasnt worthy of mention. They followed second wangye, because they wanted to gain some profit. They didnt think they would lose their life. At this point, of course they would divulge everything.
Feng Yi Xuan stared at the four four begging for mercy, as if he was looking at ants. These people really had great ploys. So what if they betrayed second wangye? These matters didnt have any direct connection to the Empresss faction. It was useless against the Empresss faction; in fact, it could possibly onlyplicate matters for himself.
Li Zhong! Feng Yi Xuan said to Li Zhong, who was kneeling there. Take them to camps and under all the troops eyes, read out their crimes; then, behead! Feng Yi Xuans voice didnt possess any anger, emotionless as usual.
The officers wanted to resist, but their acupuncture points have been pressed by An Yi and Li Zhong, and then dragged out. Theyprehended Feng Yi Xuan didnt want to waste any breath on these people, so they best toss out these traitors to deal with them as quickly as possible.
The remaining three officers, though they were old soldiers whove fought on the battlefield for many years and were also Lan Jian Juns subordinates previously, so as such, they were all upright persons, but faced with Feng Yi Xuans imposing manner, they really couldnt bear it. Some people didnt need to speak, didnt need to do anything, and they could oppress people and invoke fear just with their aura.
Feng Yi Xuan felt irritated just looking at the three people below, or that is to say, hed feel irritated no matter who he saw. Waving his hand, he let the three people withdraw. The three officers involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that it was easier going onto the battlefield to ughter their enemies than to face Ming wang.
Feng Yi Xuan felt if he continued to think of Nian Nian, he wouldnt be able to take care of any of his affairs. After sorting out his irritability, Feng Yi Xuan picked up the reports in the tent and started to straighten them out, sorting out the matter of the border in the shortest time possible, so that he could go back to be with Nian Nian.
At this time, under the misty and hazy sun of morn, contingents of troops already arrived at the camp to train, but instead, they saw officer Li Zhong had several officers detained as he brought them to the tform in the middle of the camp. Many of the old soldiers noticed Ming wangs guard An Yi. Everyone sensed that something big was about to happen.
Li Zhong nced at An Yi. The meaning was clear-to let An Yi to announce it. After all, though A Yi was only one of Ming wangs guards, the power in An Yis hands wasparable to that of a generals, which was why Li Zhong had this idea.
An Yi shook his head. Hes followed master many years, so more or less, he was a little simr to his master, neither liking to speak more than necessary.
Li Zhong walked over to the tform in the center, facing the several ten thousand soldiers as he reproved these officers crimes, making the soldiers below so angry their eyes were red. They all came here simply to protect their home and countrynd, yet these high-ranking officers actually colluded with their enemies and sold off their country, they hated they couldnt go up and murder these people.
Shoving the officers whove been silenced, Li Zhong and several other officers, each with a de, cleaved off the four traitors heads in front of all the soldiers. Feng Yi Xuan did more than just punish the traitors, it was a warning and intimidation to those soldiers!
An Yi looked at those headless corpses on the tform, no emotion in his eyes. These people thought they really could drag master down? Really extremely stupid!
*~*
Lan You Nian was still clothed in a white dress, her ck hair was soft and smooth, without a single strand out of ce. Her bearing was demure and elegant, like a white lotus that bloomed for the first time in morning, beautiful like a painting.
Howe young miss woke up so early? Lan Wu wondered curiously as she carried in a basin of warm water for washing. Young miss has been waking up in the morning muchter recently.
Lan Qu saw Lan Wu being so remiss, and didnt know what to say. The winter morning was already very cold, but their young miss didnt seem to feel it at all as she stood in front of the window. Lan Qu walked over to Lan You Nias side, Young miss, it is misty in the morning and cold. Young miss best not stand in front of the window!
Lan You Nian nced at her chilled body and realized there wasnt a warm embrace behind her. Actually, thest few days as she was hurrying on the road, she didnt sense it, butst night when she returned to You Nian Pavilion, the taste of missing Feng Yi Xuan poured into her heart. Shes returned to her past state of being unable to sleep.
Did young miss not have a good restst night? Lan Wu asked worriedly, noting her young misss somewhat weary face and then handed a towel to Lan You Nian. They, as her handmaidens, seemed to have not seen their young misss weary face for a while, though it wasmon in the past.
Lan You Nian picked up the towel to wipe her face and then said, unconcerned Not bad, only just the same as before! Some people were really strange. Before in the past it was like this, she didnt feel anything wrong about it, but ever since she was together with Feng Yi Xuan, for things to return to the way it was originally, she couldnt get used to it. It seems shes really been spoiled by Feng Yi Xuan.
Young miss, how about write a letter to Ming wang to ask him to return soon? Lan Wu said. She could tell her familys young miss was starting to miss Ming wang. And based on how much Ming wang loved young miss, he will definitely hurry back.
Lan You Nian shook her head with a smile, reaching out her onion-white fingers to poke Lan Wus forehead, Everyone needs their own space. Xuan is a countrys wangye, a war god on the battlefield. How can I have him always stay by my side?
Lan Wu didnt understand these things, muttering subconsciously But I feel like no matter what young miss asks for, Ming wang will always grant it! This was the feeling she got after so long. At the start, she was disbelieving of Ming wangs feelings for her young miss, but after some time, Lan Wu was already certain Ming wang truly loved her young miss.
Lan Wu chuckled in spite of herself. Yeah, perhaps in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, she was the most important, but it was because Feng Yi Xuan loved her so much and was so considerate of her, the more Lan You Nian didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to feel the least bit unhappy due to her. They were mutually in love, not a one-sided love.
Alright, you are really chatty! Lan Qu shot Lan Wu a re, but this was only some teasing between sisters.
Young miss! Its already winter. You better put add on some more clothing! Lan Qu added one moreyer of clothing to her young miss. It seemed she hasnt done this for a while. Ever since Ming wang started living at You Nian Pavilion, they havent served young miss at all.
Lan You Nian secured the thick white outer robe, asking Are Lan Ren and Lan Feng back yet? Last night when she returned to You Nian Pavilion, she summoned Lan Ren and Lan Feng. Lan You Nian let them go investigate who sent the assassinst night, actually wanting to end her life so quickly.
Havent returned yet! Lan Qu said. In fact, she was a little worried.
Lan You Nian nodded and didnt offer any more words and started to eat. From day one when they followed her, they should have been that their lives could be at danger any moment. Though she considered them as friends, she couldnt protect them all the time. Some things still required tempering and in even more things, they needed to depend on themselves.
At this moment, An San suddenly appeared on the stairs of the pavilion and said respectfully, Wangfei, I am An San!
Lan You Nian put down her chopsticks, wondering why An San was here and nodded to Lan Qu. Lan Qu instantly understood and said to the person outside, Miss An San cane in!
An San entered and performed a ceremonious greeting. Though shes stayed at You Nian Pavilion before and acted quite impertinently, but its the first time seeing wangfei in a while, so An San was very respectful.
Wangfei, master sent a letter to instruct this subordinate to make this medicine. Wangfei please take it on time everyday! An San ced the still warm medicine she diligently carried on the table and then took out a letter, saying Wangye asked this subordinate to give this letter to wangfei!
Lan You Nians heartbeat instantly quickened. She dazedly received the letter from An Sans hand and then eagerly ripped open the letter. Entering into her eyes was the majestic, vigorous handwriting which was as overbearing and cold as the man himself.
There were not many words in the letter. It said rather simply that he already arrived at the borders and was starting to deal with the matters and then it was followed by an ordinary Nian Nian, I miss you a lot! From the handwriting, Lan You Nian could decipher the deep longing behind them. Next, it was all the two words Nian Nian written by Feng Yi Xuan, as if only this way could soothe his longing.
After reading the letter, Lan You Nian put it away in the dressing table in the inner chamber. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to arrive at the borders so quickly. He probably wrote the letter the moment he arrived at the borders. She really didnt know whether she should be mad at this man or feel heartache for him. Hes always like this...
After securing the letter, she walked out of the inner chamber and took a sip of the still warm medicine. The bitterness of the medicine flooded Lan You Nians tastebuds, causing Lan You Nian to furrow her brows and stick her tongue out. She didnt expect elder brothers medicine to be so bitter.
Lan Qu hastily poured a cup of tea. Lan You Nian took it to gargle and then helplessly stared at the bowl of medicine. She really didnt want to drink it!
Perhaps because it was so rare to see Lan You Nian act so childishly, Lan Wu, Lan Qu, and An San couldnt help expressing a smile. Honestly, Lan You Nian was too indifferent on a normal day. It made people feel like they couldnt approach her at all. But at this moment, Lan You Nian was like a cute next-door little sister, which made people automatically want to get close to her.
Wangfei, quality medicine are bitter. Wangfei should continue to drink! An San grinned. Master sent a letter making clear that they must make wangfei continue drinking the medicine every day. An Yi and the others were aware of the poison in Lan You Nians body, so they hoped wangfei can be healthy soon, so that no matter it was master or them the subordinates, they could all be reassured.
Young miss, you wont reply to Ming wang? Lan Quid out the dishes for Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian shook her head Best I dont reply; otherwise, Xuan cant focus on the matters there. Lan You Nian spared An San, who was eating with them, a nce. Besides, Xuan surely knows my matters like the back of his hand!
hehe... An San peeked at Lan You Nian in embarrassment and immediately leapt up, flustered Wangfei, we subordinates dont mean to keep wangfei under surveince. We only want wangye to know wangfei is well! Besides, they didnt have the guts to put wangfei under surveince ah! Were any one of wangfeis subordinates inferior to them?
Alright! Lan Qu smirked Young miss doesnt intend to me you guys. Sit down and eat!
After eating breakfast, Lan You Nian got onto a carriage and set off for Jing manor. After all,st nights arson was investigated by Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li; she didnt interfere at all.
Lan manors carriage stopped at the gates of Jing manor. Lan You Nian stepped off the carriage, coincidentally catching Marquis Jing, Jing Leng, in his officials robes, about to set off for morning court.
Upon catching sight of Lan You Nian, Jing Leng was all smiles, looking at Lan You Nian like he was looking at a reliable younger generation, Lan girl, are you alright after the scarest night? Though the events ofst night were deliberately concealed, if an interested person looked into it, they would still be able to know the truth. Jing Leng understood some of the matters from his sons mouth.
Lan You Nian graciously curtsied, Thanks Uncle Jing for your concern. Nianer wasnt scared! Lan You Nian always felt some warmth towards those who were sincerely concerned for her. This Jing Leng, though he loved wine, was a very excellent elder. The concern in his eyes wasnt a pretense.
Thats good! Jing Leng nodded, pleased. Then he murmured softly Lan girl ah,e to Jing manor to y, if you have nothing to do!
Lan You Nian resisted from giggling, I will definitely bring some good wine to call upon uncle! She inly discerned the love of wine in Jing Lengs eyes. In this world, there were people who loved beautiful women, those who loved money, and those who loved wine. These are all understandable.
Ah? Really? The grape wine you let Wu An bring backst time was very good! Upon mentioning wine, Jing Lengs eyes took on a bright shine. Lan You Nian was starting to wonder if she took out her collection of aged wine if he would drool.
Father, you still need to go to morning court! Jing Wu An, having stood at the gates for an unknown time, looked at his father who appeared as if he hasnt seen wine for eight hundred years and felt a tremor in his head. However, he could tell father truly was fond of Nianer meimei. Otherwise, all those officials who wanted to suck up to father have sent over so many good wines, but he didnt see father spare them a nce, though one had to admit, those wine had no chance of contesting with the wine Nianer meimei brewed herself.
keke! Jing Leng, as soon as he saw his son, became stern and then said to Lan You Nian Then this old man will go to morning court. Lan girlse for a visit, so you need to be attentive! Saying this, he got onto his carriage.
Uncle Jing, next time Nianer will write the secret recipe to make the wipe to uncle! Lan You Nian said deliberately with mischievous intentions and then, sure enough, she saw Jing Leng change from the stern face to an ecstatic expression and jumped down from the carriage, Is Lan girl speaking the truth?
Father! Jing Wu An felt a little helpless, shooting a nce at the naughty Lan You Nian. The more they got to know each other, the more Jing Wu An understood that under Lan You Nians appearance of a celestial maiden was a naughty and troublesome imp-really made people unsure whether tough or cry.
Jing Leng shot a re at his son-those who didnt know would have believed Jing Wu An hadmitted some wrong. When he faced Lan You Nian, he recovered his smiling face, appearing very much like a benevolent old uncle as he asked uncertainly Lan girl is speaking the truth? You cant me Jing Leng for not believing. Hes had a taste of the amazing wine Lan girl made. Normal people were anxious to hide away their wine in some ce, but this girl told such a thing to other people, without any hesitation. Sure enough, no petty girl canpare. No wonder his son, whose eyes were higher than his head, considered her a little sister.
Nianer doesnt dare lie to uncle! Lan You Nian said humbly as any junior would and saw Jing Wu Ans mouth twitch-you dont dare, is there anything you dont dare?
Good! Good! Jing Lengughed in joy and then sat on the carriage to go to morning court. Inside, he was delighted over the fact he could make his own wine in the future, due to the fact he was forbidden from drinking wine. Drinking Lan girls wine gave a wonderful feeling; it was also not harmful for the body. Just thinking about it, Jing Lengs aged face couldnt stop grinning.
Jing Wu An led Lan You Nian into the manor,menting Only Nianer meimei came make father like this. Usually father is so stern!
Lan You Nian walked as she nced around Jing manor. Jing Manors construction was quite a bit simr to Grandfather Grand Tutor Hes manor. They both had a potent schrly air, only Jing manor was much more extravagant inparison to He manor. Jing Wu An, this ck-bellied master, wouldnt allow himself to suffer grievances.
Wheres Brother Liu Li? Lan You Nian walked into Jing Wu Ans courtyard and sat down. ncing around, she didnt catch sight of Yu Liu Li, so naturally she wondered in curiosity. Marquis Jing has already epted the twos rtionship, so Yu Liu Li openly moved into Jing manor. Marquis Jing, from the mdjustment and unhappiness at the beginning, has now epted Yu Liu Li, this daughter inw.
Jing Wu Ans face was a little flushed, stumbling as he muttered He hasnt got out of bed. I let him sleep a bit more!
Lan You Nian widened her eyes as she gaped at Jing Wu An. She hadnt imagined the ck-bellied Jing Wu An to have such a moment; however, she could tell the two were truly in love; otherwise, how could they so staunchly stay together without a fear of gossip?
Did Brother Wu An tire out Brother Liu List night? Lan You Nian asked suggestively and then automatically supplemented imaged of the two in her head. Really, top and bottom and all that was simply too flustering.
Jing Wu An seemed to have heard something he didnt dare believe his ears and then forced on a big brothers face, A little girl only knows to speak nonsense!
Hey... An San who followed them undeniably snorted and then stood on her wangfeis side, How is wangfei uttering nonsense!? Maybe because shes spent so much time with Lan You Nian, An San doesnt have that many distinction between master and servant. Usually, she could let loose and joke around with others.
Brother Wu An, howsst nights investigation going? Lan You Nian interrupted everyones joking around. This matter was a little strange. Just who thought of such an idea as setting fire?
Speaking of proper business, Jing Wu An turned serious, saying very grimly We havent discovered whos behind all of this. Perhaps the person behind the scenes is too deeply hidden or the hidden person is someone we cant think of. Nianer meimei, Im really sorry!
Lan You Nian nonchntly smiled. Though everyone was very strong in their own right, not all things in the world can be controlled by them. There will always be many idents that would happen. They were still growing.
Its nothing. The fox will always expose its tail! Lan You Nians dark and profound eyes filled with killing intent and a bloodthirsty coldness. She was certain that the person who set the fire wasnt participating in this fight for the throne. They simply wanted her dead. It seems shes offended some person she wasnt aware of.
En, Yi Xuan isnt in the capitol. Nianer meimei, you need to be careful. When you go out, bring An San them with you! Jing Wu An said. If Feng Yi Xuan wasnt in the capital and something happened to Lan You Nian, Jing Wu An didnt dare imagine what would happen to Feng country. Lan You Nian was too important to Feng Yi Xuan. This was why Feng Yi Xuan wasnt suited to the throne. Feng Yi Xuan, that person, could abandon everything for Lan You Nian, even home and country. Such a person, if he couldnt encounter that one person destined to be his love, it was all and good, but once they met, then it would be lifetimes of entanglements.
After chatting with Jing Wu An, Lan You Nian came to Xiao Jin Pavilion, of course that was after shes disguised herself. This time she didnt bring An San. Her identity as Young Master Wu Qing still wasnt known by others nor did Lan You Nian want to conceal anything.
When she arrived at Xiao Jin Pavilion, Gui San was already waiting there, along with Lan Feng and Lan Ren.
Chapter 188 - 188 Xiao Jin Pavilion
188 Xiao Jin Pavilion
Stepping into Xiao Jin Pavilions third floor, Lan Feng walked over to Lan You Nian and removed her outer garment. Lan You Nian felt her body was much lighter.
Third brother! Lan You Nian wore a white, golden-threaded hundred butterfly and flower dress, revealing a slim and supple, graceful and slender figure, once the outer garment of soft, silky fire fox fur was removed. The white color didnt give her a gaudy feel, only radiating an enchanting energy, and a distinguished and elegant appeal.
Gui San gazed at Lan You Nian, discerning a feeling of my familys teenage girl has grown up and then recalling such a wonderful little junior sister has been taken by Feng Yi Xuan, he felt extremely discontented inside. But it couldnt be helped; he couldnt beat Feng Yi Xuan with his martial arts. In the past, he has secretly wanted to teach Feng Yi Xuan a lesson but ended up paying for his evildoings, causing Gui San to have no confidence in himself.
How are you feeling? Gui San ced some tasty foods on the table, asking with concern. As for what happenedst night, he already knew of it so there was no need to inquire into it. Besides, of his little junior sisters abilities, he was very certain of.
Lan You Nian nodded with a smile. At least the poison wont be so painful in the future! Lan You Nian knew Gui San and the others already knew of it, but still asked her because they were worried. After all these years, the poison rpses have left a deep psychological shadow on them.
Lan Ren, what have you found out? Lan You Nian sipped on the tea Lan Feng brewed. Wu Qing Pavilions intelligence-gathering was excellent. Lan You Nian handed many of the properties under Wu Qing Pavilion over to her several senior brothers and Lan Ren and Lan Feng to manage. She, Master Wu Qing, besides doing it all herself at the beginning, no longer inquires into anything.
Young miss, the assassinst night was sent by Prime Minister Manor. Strangely, it wasnt Prime Minister An, but Prime Minister Ans wife who hired the assassin! Lan Ren said. There was no good feelings left for Prime Minister manor. It was practically a nest of snakes and rats.
En? Howe its Prime Ministers wife? Little junior sister, it seems you once again offended someone! Gui San teased her. For many years, as Master Wu Qing, little junior sister has encountered many assassination attempts and now shes recovered her identity, theres still so many people who wanted to kill little junior sister.
En, it seems Im not very likable by people! Lan You Nian seemed to be vexed as she sighed and then said to Gui San, If third brother isnt busy, help Nianer deal with this Prime Ministers madame? Lan You Nian knew why the Prime Ministers madame wanted to kill her. After all, her daughter was crippled by her hands. Though on the surface it appeared as if it had nothing to do with her, Prime Ministers Madame has lived in the inner courtyard for many years, how could she not see her tampering? So, its understandable she wanted her killed.
Dont! Gui San wailed Let Lan Ren go or let Lan Feng go, isnt that much better? He just scarcely dealt with many of Wu Qing Pavilions matters to take a little rest and hug some beauties, howe he was exploited by this unscrupulous little junior sister?
If third brother doesnt want to go, how about I write a letter to tell shifu? Shifu definitely wishes third brother to go back to take care of the medicine garden! Lan You Nian revealed her white teeth as she said this, her words filled with a smug threat. Who let shifu love her the most? Who let third brother fear taking care of the medicine garden the most?
Gui San raised both of his hands, helplessly dering Alright, Ill go! He now knew why little junior sister was so taken with Feng Yi Xuan that iceberg, because the two of them were both ck-hearted. No, little junior sister was led astray by Feng Yi Xuan! No matter what, Gui San would not admit his little junior sister was always this evil.
Make it clean. Dont let other people me this on Wu Qing Pavilion! Lan You Nian said. From the start, Lan You Nian didnt want Wu Qing Pavilion to be exposed. If Gui San was suspected, then theyll be able to link it to Medical Valley. She wouldnt allow such a thing to happen.
I know. Little junior sister isnt confident in third brother? Gui San picked up the paper fan, once again acting suave. Suddenly, the four people in the room didnt utter a word, because they heard someone walked up the third floor. It was the footsteps of someone unfamiliar.
Lan You Nian gave Gui San a look. Gui San shook his head, showing it wasnt Xiao Jin Pavilions manager. Because of little junior sister, the third floor, besides the managering up to sweep up the room, usually no one was allowed to enter. Everyone in Xiao Jin Pavilion knew of this and all obeyed this rule. Gui San was surprised who had such guts to daree up to the third floor, evening to their exclusive room.
From the sounds of the footsteps, they can tell it was a woman, a woman who didnt know any martial arts. The interest in Lan You Nians eyes thickened. What kind of woman dared toe to the third floor? Or has the management of Xiao Jin Pavilion be so poor?
The door being opened from outside resounded in the room. Lan You Nian picked up Master Wu Qings mask from the table and put it on. Lan Ren and Lan Feng concealed themselves. The two people were shadow guards so their concealment art was amongst the best.
Gui San and Lan You Nian watched as the door was pushed open and then walked in a woman. The woman wore a rosy pink upper outer garment of which the cor was tugged very low so one could see the womans snow white cleavage, paired with a goose yellow floral skirt and flying heaven hairstyle* adorned with a begonia buyao*, the long dangling beads scattered to one side, making her appear especially charming and moving.
Lan You Nian shot Gui San a look. Its fine if he was usually amorous, but how could he bring such a woman into the third floor? Lan You Nian wanted to toss Gui San out. Just what eyesight does he have? Such a woman pollutes her eyes.
Gui San whos been admonished by his little junior sister felt extremely innocent. Though he was usually quite amorous but was the kind that wasnt moved by any temptation. He really hasnt ever seen this shameless woman ah! His taste wasnt that bad.
The woman was a prostitute who just entered Xiao Jin Pavilion. Upon entering Xiao Jin Pavilion, she learned of Xiao Jin Pavilions romantic and passionate Young Master Gui San. If she could tie herself to this Young Master Gui San, she would have endless delicacies, brocades and satins she would never finish wearing, and most importantly, she would never have to be the lowest prostitute and serve those fat and big-ear* officials and businessmen. She could be the mistress of Xiao Jin Pavilion.
[T/N: fat and big-ear are signs good fortune and wealth]
The woman thought only Young Master Gui San was on the third floor, so she didnt expect there to be a masked man sitting in there, after she entered the room, whose bearing was not inferior in any respect to Master Gui San. The woman coyly nced at Lan You Nian, even seductively tossed Lan You Nian a wink, almost making Lan You Nian throw up.
Who are you? Who let youe up? Gui San naturally also saw the woman making a pass at little junior sister. Not only little junior sister a girl seeing this wanted to throw up, even he a man wanted to throw up. This woman wasnt even worthy of being their Xiao Jin Pavilions prostitute.
The woman saw the two men both looking at her. Master Gui San even asked her for her name, which made her confident they were taken with her. The woman, pretentiously coy, took out a handkerchief covered her mouth, shyly saying This humble girl is Hai Tang. Greetings to the two young masters!
Lan You Nian was made speechless by this woman, asking bluntly Are Xiao Jin Pavilions girls all this rubbish?
Gui San detected the displeasure in Lan You Nians words. Although not every woman in Xiao Jin Pavilion was one of Wu Qing Pavilions people, even the ordinary prostitutes in Xiao Jin Pavilion was carefully selected. In Xiao Jin Pavilion, the most lowly prostitute was of a good character. To meet such a woman today, no wonder little junior sister was angry.
This young master asks you, who let youe up? Hm? Gui Sans face became overcast. Xiao Jin Pavilion was under his management. If something happened, he wouldnt have any face to face his other disciple brothers.
The woman seemed to only now see Gui Sans expression, saying a little fearfully, I, I came by myself. I wanted toe up to serve young master! This woman Hai Tang then cast off all her outer robes, showing off her white naked body in front of everyones eyes.
At this point, Lan Feng in the shadows couldnt bear it any longer and directly threw out this nude woman, not into the lobby of Xiao Jin Pavilion, but into the streets. The people on the streets saw a white object being thrown out of Xiao Jin Pavilion and realized it was a naked, shameless woman. Many people just carried on as if it was something free to look at, making it impossible for the woman to hide from their jeers.
So filthy! Lan Fengs tone was very disdainful. Actually, Lan Feng was very apathetic but in concerns to Lan You Nian, Lan Feng saw her as a pure little child, so that was why Lan Feng was so angry then, just like someone led astray her little sister, though this little sister was already bad without being taught.
Have you noticed something? Lan You Nian took off her mask.
Lan Ren walked out from the shadows, This woman carries a potent poison on her body. If someone were to have rtions with this woman, there is nothing but death awaiting them. But from the looks of it, probably even she doesnt know shes been poisoned!
Gui San nodded. Actually, just a few moments after the woman entered the room, he too noticed the poison on the womans body. This poison was very domineering. Once the woman ingested this poison, if she was intimate with a man, whether it was the man or the woman, both would suffer a violent death!
It seems someone has their eye on Xiao Jin Pavilion! Lan You Nian yed with the mask in her hands, musing. All these years, there was an endless number of people who have intentions on Wu Qing Pavilion. Who knows how many people coveted the businesses under Wu Qing Pavilion, this juicy piece of meat, but it would depend on their ability if they were able to swallow it whole.
Gui San walked over to Lan You Nians side tofort her, Little junior sister rest assured, no one can touch Xiao Jin Pavilion under my watch! All the amorous proclivities in Gui Sans eyes were reced by murderous intent. No one can covet their things.
Lan You Nian wasnt at the least worried. She was aware of Gui Sans abilities and methods. That is to say, none of her people were push-overs. She wasnt some kind of savior of the world who can protect everyone. Everyone had their own things to do.
En, Lan Feng, you investigate this matter with third brother! Lan You Nian said. Lan Fengs capabilities were clear. The two together can definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.
Yes Lan Feng nodded.
At night, Lan Feng and Gui San snuck into Prime Ministers manor. After breaking into Prime Ministers manor, they found Prime Minister Madames courtyard. They didnt expect to see this Prime Minister madame still looking for assassins to buy a life.
This Lan manors legitimate daughter is really lucky. This time I want to add more money. You must take Lan You Nians life! Prime Ministers madame said to one assassin. Her daughter ended up like that because of Lan You Nian. From the looks of it, the things that happened to her grandson all had some connection to Lan manor. It was all cmity brought by that Lan manor and Lan You Nian.
Gui San stared coldly at the old woman below, who was so daring. Meanwhile, Lan Feng directly jumped into the room and ended the life of the assassin who came to make the exchange. Prime Ministers madame wanted to scream for help but she was already silenced by Lan Feng. It wasnt that she didnt want to kill this woman, but young miss instructed that it had to be done cleanly and without anyone being aware, so she couldnt violently kill this old woman.
Gui San took out the poison he developed, forced open the old womans mouth and fed it to her. Then, the two people ced Prime Ministers wife onto the bed to sleep. After waiting until the woman no longer showed signs of breathing, the two left Prime Ministers Manor.
On the second day, the people of Prime Ministers manor discovered the madame was already dead. The truth of the death, by the diagnosis of the imperial physicians, was a natural death by old age. Who would have thought it was all done by Gui San?
Chapter 189 - Plot Under Way
Chapter 189 Plot Under Way
When Lan You Nian received the new Jing Wu An sent, she was surprised. She didnt expect the person who ordered the arson to be her.
Wangfei, should we kill her? An San asked. Thest few days, An San has been following Lan You Nian around. This was Feng Yi Xuans intent. At the moment, he was at the borders, so he was most worried about Lan You Nian. An Sans martial arts wasnt bad. With her by Lan You Nians side, Feng Yi Xuan could be slightly reassured.
Lan You Nians lips recovered its rosiness as they curled into a wicked smile, like the ardent red spider lilies which bloomed on the path to the underworld, murmuring softly Since we know who the rat is, theres no need to rush. She cant turn any huge waves.
An San nodded. She too felt this woman wasnt wangfeis opponent. With a wave of her hand, wangfei could send this woman to her death. Only this woman cant distinguish whats good for her and dares to harm wangfei. She was unsure whether she should inform wangye of this matter. After all, the example of the eldest princess was still there!
I didnt know this Feng Yi Shuang had such ability! Yue Bai Lian sat in You Nian Pavilion, infuriated.
Thats right, the one behind the arson a few nights ago was the second princess, Feng Yi Shuang, the same one, who was bitten by a snake and was currently resting in her pce, actually had the guts to scheme against Lan You Nian. When Jing Wu An dug out such a result, they were also surprised. That wasnt to say Feng Yi Shuang was kind, but everyone passed over this woman, so at the very start when everyone was investigating the matter of the arson, they didnt consider thinking in that direction. Instead, they investigated the Empresss faction. If they didnt find out those who set the fire had some connection to a pce maid previously, they probably wouldnt find out this matter had any rtion to Feng Yi Shuang.
Lan You Nian observed Yue Bai Lian who was more angered than her and giggled. Recently Yue Bai Lian will often drop in at Lan manor. Everyone only felt Lan manors legitimate daughter had a good rtionship with Princess Bai Lian, so they didnt overthink.
Everyone has their different talent, only most of the time they havent been forced to a certain point! Lan You Nian sat in the pavilion, gazing out the window at the solemn sky that seemed like it was about to snow.
Yue Bai Lian nodded, showing her agreement. It was just like her; if she wasnt forced, how could she have learned such means?
Then ording to young miss, this Feng Yi Shuangs days arent good either? Otherwise, how could she be forced to consider harming young miss? Lan Wu asked curiously. Actually, she didnt understand why so many women didnt consider what they did wrong; instead, every time theyre hurt, they alwaysy the me on someone else.
Lan You Nian kept silent. Feng Yi Shuangs life definitely wasnt easy. Noble Consort Lins passing left Feng Yi Shuang without herst support. In the imperial pce, a princess without any support couldnt evenpare to a pce maid. This feeling of falling from the sky wasnt something just anyone could ept, much less the vain Feng Yi Shuang. But Feng Yi Shuang really should not have harassed her, even burning her little courtyard at Zhen Wei Pavilion. It really made people feel annoyed.
Right, when is Ming wanging back? Yue Bai Lian asked. Its already been some time, yet there was no news of Ming wangs return. Yue Bai Lian didnt have any other meaning, only wishing Lan You Nian to have someone to share her troubles with.
Lan You Nians hand that was holding the teacup froze for a moment. It was a very subtle movement, so no one noticed. Shes been back in the capital for five days already. It was clearly a very short amount of time, but it seemed especially long. Every day she would receive a letter from Feng Yi Xuan, none of which that did not say what he was doing or that he missed her. Lan You Nian didnt return a letter of her own, not because she didnt want to write back, but because she was afraid once she lifted the pen, shell write out her longing. And ording to Feng Yi Xuans temper, he will hurry back without a care to anything else.
Soon! Lan You Nian gazed at the sky outside. Actually, Feng Yi Xuan didnt say when he wasing back, but she already missed him terribly. She never knew missing someone would make it difficult to eat and sleep.
An San saw Lan You Niansplexion wasnt all that good and was a little worried. They could tell wangfei wasnt someone who could take good care of herself, but they couldnt do things as good as wangye. After all, like persuading wangfei to rest more and not bother with those unimportant matters, they couldnt seed in persuading her and could only watch wangfei busy about every day without a stop.
Wangye will be back in a few days. Wangfei still needs to rest more in the next few days! An San coaxed. With the arrival of winter, wangfeis body was starting to get cold. Lan Qu informed her of this, saying wangfei will often get sick in winter.
Its nothing! Lan You Nian said with a smile and then red with her wide eyes at An San, Dont tell Xuan! After suffering from the poison from many years, her body was seriously deficit, so as soon as winter came, she became very weak, but she didnt want Xuan, who was far away at the borders, to worry.
This subordinate... An San wanted to refute, but seeing Lan You Nians expression, she fearfully shrank her neck, saying This subordinate knows! After staying by Lan You Nians side for some time, An San understood Lan You Nians temper. If she didnt agree, she will probably be directly sent back to Ming wang manor.
Oh right Nianer, tomorrow we need to go Prime Minister manor to give our condolences for the passing of Prime Minister madame. As General Manors legitimate daughter, do you need to go? Yue Bai Lian asked. Because shes reached an agreement with Feng Xia Qi, she showed more concern for the matters in the capital.
Lan You Nian, hearing this, nced at Lan Qu. Lan Quprehended and said Lan manor did indeed receive an invite. Will young miss be going tomorrow? Actually, Lan Qu didnt wish her young miss to attend some dead persons funeral. With such cold temperatures- young misss body wasnt that good-it would be terrible if she got cold.
Go, why wouldnt I go? Lan You Nian said. Even if she said she didnt want to go, that didnt mean she could do as she wished. She was currently managing the Lan manor household. If she didnt go, wasnt it allowing other people to gossip about their Lan manor for no reason?
Yue Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian and then said Im going tomorrow too!
Lan You Nian didnt say anything, just nodded. Yue Bai Lian was no longer her subordinate. She should have her own ideas and her own life.
After Yue Bai Lian left, Lan You Nian had Lan Qu and the others all withdraw. She slept on the couch Feng Yi Xuan usually slept on. It seemed like Feng Yi Xuans scent was still on there, for Lan You Nian peacefully slept on the couch and shut her eyes.
Meanwhile, at this moment, Feng Yi Xuan was simrly full of longing. The wind at the borders was very cold and piercing, but Feng Yi Xuan only wore a thin, ck outer robe as he read the booklet in his hands. At this moment An Yi came in, Master, a letter from the manor!
Feng Yi Xuan tossed aside the booklet in his hand. It was only at this moment that warmth will appear in his eyes. The letter urgently sent from the capital every day wasnt anything important, only An San wrote about Lan You Nians everyday life into the letter so Feng Yi Xuan can see, letting Feng Yi Xuan feel he was by Lan You Nians side.
The letter said Lan You Nian was still afraid of drinking her medicine. When Feng Yi Xuan saw this, he couldnt help the smile at tugged at his lips. He could already imagine Nian Nians troubled expression as she drank the medicine, but at the same time, he felt distressed; drinking such bitter medicine, Nian Nian will definitely feel terrible.
An Yi watched his master who was sitting there looking at the letter for a long time without putting it down and knew master was once again starting to miss the matriarch. Ever since master came to the border, every day he appeared cold, making people not dare to approach, but every day when he saw the letter from the capital, master will be so gentle.
I heard Jiangnans candied fruit is the most fragrant and sweet? Feng yi Xuan put away the letter in his hand, suddenly asking An Yi who pretended to be invisible.
An Yi was startled for a moment, not understanding why master will suddenly ask this, though it was true Jiangnans candied fruit was the best.
Yes, Jiangnans candied fruit is the best, but not many are made and isnt supplied to areas outside. Only some official and trade families are able to eat it! An Yi replied. As a shadow guard, a guard, and masters right and left arm, An Yi knew about a lot of things.
Have Ghost Realms people go to Jiangnan to get some candied fruit and send it over to Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan ordered. The medicine, though bitter, Feng Yi Xuan knew he must have Nian Nian continue to drink it. This was for the good of Nian Nians health, so he wont indulge her. But thinking of Nian Nian drinking such bitter medicine, Feng Yi Xuan felt there was a better way, so Feng Yi Xuan thought of candied fruit. That way, after drinking the medicine, it can get rid of the bitterness in ones mouth, making Lan You Nian feel a little better.
Yes! An Yi immediately sent the message to Ghost Realm, though he couldnt helpining mentally, which one of their Ghost Realms assassins didnt go out to kill people and such things, when did they have to run such a long way just to get some candied fruit? Sure enough, master didnt care about anything else when it considered the matriarch.
Chapter 190 - 190 Plot Under the Way (2)
190 Plot Under the Way (2)
Lan You Nian rode in Lan manors carriage to Prime Ministers manor. As the residence of a Prime Minister of the country, the architecture of Prime Ministers Manor was magnificent. All of the buildings were extremely solemn, yet white silk curtains were put up everywhere. Lan You Nian followed the maidservant into Prime Minister manors mourning hall. Passing through a half-moon corridor, passing by the front courtyard, when they came to the inner courtyard of Prime Ministers manor, it was white everywhere. The courtyard had a very Jiangnan atmosphere with its little bridge and flowing water, gazebo and pavilion towers, refined and unparalleled, very elegant, but because of all the white color, it seemed very odd.
Lan Jian Jun led his son and daughter to the mourning hall to offer their condolences to the dead. Afterward, he left with Lan Mo Xian since it was separated into mens section and womens section.
Lan You Nian studied Prime Minister Manors madame whose appearance immacte, a faint smile curling on her lips. It seemed third brother did things discreetly. No one noticed Prime Minister madames sudden cause of death, or perhaps they noticed but couldnt find anything.
Isnt Miss Lan afraid? An manors legitimate daughter An Si Yan knelt in the mourning hall staring at Lan You Nian. Her eyes were like venomous snakes. They contained the pleasure of vengeance, as if she wanted to rip Lan You Nian into shreds.
After paying her respects, Lan You Nian looked at An Si Yan kneeling amongst the younger generation. An Si Yan was dressed in white, appearing quite tasteful, though recently this An familys eldest young miss didnt dare provoke her, yet she did so in the mourning hall of her own grandmother-she likely had some kind of backing.
I havent done anything against my conscience. What am I afraid of? Lan You Nian walked over to An Si Yan, whispering in her ear, Though I dont know if An familys eldest young miss is afraid or not!
What am I afraid of? An Si Yan stood up. There was no oneing in to offer their condolences at the moment. There were only several concubines and granddaughters kneeling in the mourning hall. Those with some status in An manor were all entertaining the guests. Though it may appear to be for the condolences of the dead, but there were a lot of twists and turns. Offering condolences was merely a coverup.
Lan You Nian didnt say any more and was about to head to the resting area for the women. Walking out of the mourning hall, Lan You Nian said to Lan Feng who was dressed as a maidservant Check out if theres anything wrong with An manor thesest few days! Lan You Nian felt there was a plot waiting for her.
After Lan Feng left, An San said Wangfei, how about we go back? The people of An manor were vicious. She feared wangfei will fall for the tricks if shes not careful. By then, even using the whole of An manor as a burial price wouldnt extinguish wangyes fury.
Since wevee, their trap has already been set, if we just leave, it would be so dull! Lan You Nian took delicate lotus steps, her smile was a pure and wless as usual, making the pampered sons of the noble families a little infatuated.
An San nodded. She knew wangfeis personality was simr to wangyes. If they wanted to do something, its doubtful anyone could stop them-no, perhaps they can be stopped: it would just be each other.
When Lan You Nian walked over to the womens side, Yue Bai Lian and Hua Mu Qing have been sitting there for a whole. They were happy to see Lan You Nian. The three of them sat down together like good sisters.
Nianer meimei, howe youre sote? Hua Mu Qingined. She was so bored here by herself. Fortunately, Princess Bai Lian camete, so the two had a partner to chat with.
What do you think youre here for? Its mourning for the dead! Lan You Nian uttered speechlessly. This Hua Mu Qings personality couldpete with Lan Wus.
A lot of people havee today. Nianer you must be careful! Yue Bai Lian reminded her; then, her eyes drifted somewhere else.
Lan You Nian followed Yue Bai Lians line of sight and saw Feng Yi Shuang. It seemed she wasntpletely recovered from being bitten by the snake, Feng yi Shuang wasnt as arrogant as before, but the gloomy air around her became thicker. She nced at Lan You Nian, her eyes couldnt hide the hatred inside.
Lightly tapping the table with her fingers, Lan You Nians mouth curled into a smile, making her appear dangerous and charming, luring people to drown in it. Originally, she looked down on Feng Yi Shuang, but seeing Feng Yi Shuangs undisguished hatred, Lan You Nian felt it was best to get rid of these pest as soon as possible; otherwise, if one day she was bitten, it would be terrible. Pests, though nothing big, were very annoying.
Young miss Lan Feng who has been gone a while stood beside Lan You Nian leaned closer to Lan You Nians ear, reporting everything she found out to Lan You Nian.
Oh? Lan You Nians eyes slightly narrowed. Deep within the eyes, there seemed to be a faint darkness that was constantly overturning, making her eyes appear bright and radiant and everyone not dare to share direct eye contact, in fear of falling in and unable to escape.
~*~*~*~
Miss Lan, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence! A maidservant came over to Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian stood up, sparing the maidservant a nce. Meanwhile, Yue Bai Lian and the others nced worriedly at Lan You Nian. Prime Ministers madame passed today, so as a daughter, the Empress will definitelye, but they didnt expect the Empress to tantly summon Lan You Nian. With her position as Empress, if she really wanted to do something to Lan You Nian, they couldnt easily counter against her.
Lan You Nian shot Hua Mu Qing and Yue Bai Lian a reassuring nce and then took Lan Feng and An San with her as she left the womens side, heading in the direction of the Empresss resting area. After all, as the countrys Empress, how could she sit together with the rest of the women?
As she was passing by Feng Yi Shuang, Lan You Nians fingers that were at her sides moved and the smile on her lips became warmer.
Wangfei! An San looked at Lan You Nian who appeared to be admiring the scenery. Though wangfeis every action and word was beautiful like a painting, but this wasnt the time to be sightseeing okay!? They were going to see the Empress, that old hag!
Lan You Nians footsteps paused as she said to An San Later, Feng Yi Shuang will leave her seat. Bring Feng Yi Shuang over! Lan You Nians voice was very low, so the maidservant leading the way couldnt hear what they were saying.
Eh? An San was surprised. With her abilities, bringing Feng Yi Shuang here wouldnt be hard, but the fact wangfei can predict Feng Yi Shuang leaving her seat was simply too curious. An San couldnt help staring pitifully at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian acted mysterious as she said Because I poisoned her. I think it causes diarrhea. Lan You Nian really only casually ced the poison, so she didnt look at it carefully. It wasnt important what poison it was. The most important thing is that she left her seat.
Wangfei, when did you ce the poison? An San asked, bbergasted. Shes been following Lan You Nian all this way; she didnt see Lan You Nian making any moves. Is her martial arts really too low?
Just on the way when we were passing by Feng Yi Shuang! Lan Feng said in a straight voice. She really feared An San will ask more questions, being as noisy as Lan Wu! However, Lan Feng quite liked this An San. It was only their personalities were different.
An San resolved the confusion in her heart and immediately went to take care of business as Lan You Nian brought Lan Feng over to the Empresss resting chamber.
When they arrived at the room, several pce maids stood outside. When they saw Lan You Nian, they curtsied. Lan You Nian wasnt simply Lan manors legitimate daughter; she was also the future Ming wangfei. They, as pce maids, still needed to curtsy to her. Besides, thest time Lan You Nian was in the pce, her means made people afraid and wary.
Her Majesty is inside. Miss Lan please follow this servant! A pce maid led Lan You Nian into the room. It was unsurprising that Lan Feng was prevented from going inside. Lan Fengs fingers moved to kill. In Lan Fengs eyes, she didnt put the Empress in her eye. In her eyes, there was only Lan You Nian, this master.
Lan You Nian nodded to Lan Feng. Lan Feng instantly stood there without moving an inch. Shes followed young miss many years so she knew young misss abilities. Unconditionally obeying young miss was their unmovable conviction, so Lan You Nians subtle gesture made Lan Feng settle down.
The pce maid led Lan You Nian into the room and then withdrew. In the room, there was a rosewood shelf and arge marble screen. Passing by the screen, the small but luxurious room emerged in Lan You Nians eyes. The room was decorated with carved beams from which hung all colors of curtains. Above the couch sat the Empress An Qian Mei.
The Empress worevender mandarin duck brocade top with a magenta butterfly and flower brocade dress. On her feet were a pair of pink embroidered shoes. Her hair was done into a flying moon hairstyle, inserted with bright peacock hairpin. She smiled brightly as she sat there. What made Lan You Nians eyes sh was the infant the Empress was holding in her arms. For those people unawares, they would think the empress was a loving woman.
The infant the Empress held in her arms was Prime Minister manors newly arrived legitimate son, An Gong Jings son, Prime Minister Manors little treasure. Lan You Nian recalled the news Lan Feng told her. Instantly, she understood what the Empress and Prime Ministers manor wanted to do. In order to get rid of her, they really expended a lot of thought!
Lan You Nian understood why the Empresss faction was so fixated on her. Shes recently ruined many of their ns and she was also the future Ming wangfei. If she married Feng Yi Xuan, it represented Lan manor and fourth wangyes alliance was set in stone, so as long as she died, this alliance would be broken. But they didnt know, no matter what, she and Feng Yi Xuan will be together. It had nothing to do with interest, only sincere hearts.
Your Majesty! Lan You Nian gracefully curtsied, the faint smile on her lips didnt change as if she couldnt see the Empress sizing her up.
The Empress looked at Lan You Nian standing before her, wearing a white dress that dragged to the floor. On the top half, she wore an outer wear of dark purple. On either side of her temples hung tassels that seemed to be made of thin silver pieces. As she moved, they rung together with a pleasant sound. On her feet were a pair of white fur boots with a red flower embroidered on the sides. Seeing such a Lan You Nian, the Empress had to admit she has never seen such a beautiful girl. It was a pity such a girl couldnt be used by her.
Miss Lan is a smart person. Why are you always doing stupid things? The Empress held a little infant in her arms, frequently teasing the child while the little infant giggled innocently at the Empress, unaware of what his family wanted to do to him.
Lan You Nian, seeing this, didnt pretend anymore and sat on the couch in the room, smiling, This girl has never been a smart person. Im afraid I must disappoint Your Majesty.
If this empress gave Miss Lan a chance to be a smart person, will Miss Lan be willing? The Empress said. This was tantly asking Lan You Nian to switch to their side, hoping to solicit Lan You Nian or Lan manor.
Lan You Nian toyed with the scattered hair over her shoulder. Even if she wasnt in love with Feng Yi Xuan, she wouldnt let Lan manor side with the Empresss side. Feng Shao Chus temperament was too sinister, crafty, and suspicious. Such a person wasnt suited to being the Emperor. Most importantly, even if you do everything to help such a person ascend the throne, as soon as he sat on the throne, he will turn on you, because a person like him wouldnt allow other people to know the despicable means he used. This was the habit of many people in the imperial family. Fortunately, Feng Xia Qi wasnt such a person. Though he was crafty like a fox, but his basic nature was very upright.
Lan You Nian very foolishly and naively looked at the Empress, This girl can never be a smart person. Ive disappointed Your Majestys goodwill! Who were they to think about wanting her to work for them in Lan manor. Sure enough, the longer you sit on that high position, they think that everyone in the world revolved around them.
The Empress looked at Lan You Nian, feeling each one of Lan manors people failed to recognize kindness when it was offered. They not only killed her own little sister, nephew and niece, even An manor was affected. They even disregard her. The Empress disliked Lan You Nian even more.
Your Majesty, His Majesty arrived at Prime Minister manor. Prime Minister An had this servant request Your Majesty to head to the front hall! a pce maid said outside.
Lan You Nians brows raised. She didnt expect An Manors authority to be so great. She could tell the Empress was displeased with An manor but hasnt gotten rid of it yet, probably afraid touching An manor will cause turmoil in Feng country; otherwise, as the Empress, he wouldnt attend Prime Minister manors funeral mourning.
The Empress stood, her noble bearing undeniable. To Lan You Nian who was sitting there, she said This Empress will go to the front hall. May I ask Miss Lan if youre willing to look after this empresss little nephew? The Empress carried the little infant over to the couch by Lan You Nian.
Looking at the infantying on the couch not far from her, Lan You Nians smiling face became deadly at once, piercing as a de, cold as wind and frost, making people feel a chill all over their bodies, but the Empress only ignored it.
Lan You Nian picked up the infant who wasying on the couch and couldnt even sit up, Does this girl have a choice? The little infant wasnt shy with strangers. Looking at Lan You Nian, he even offered a big smile. Lan You Nian didnt know how to hold an infant, so she only held it like she was holding any other object.
Before Miss Lan had a choice but now, The Empress headed out of the room, You dont have any choice left!
When the Empress left the room, Lan You Nian looked at the infant, muttering I dont need other people giving me choices! The little infant didnt understand what Lan You Nian was saying, only opening his toothless mouth giggling.
Lan You Nian looked at the little infant withplex eyes. She knew this infant was already ridden with toxic poison and couldnt be saved. Such a pure child was nipped in the bud at such an early age by his own family, Lan You Nian didnt know what she was feeling but she didnt feel well inside. Though she wasnt a good person, she couldnt do something like killing her own child. Prime Ministers manor was indeed heartless and ruthless.
Lan You Nian put the infant on the couch, reaching out her palm to pat the infants head and leaned forward saying gently In the next life, get reborn in a kind family. They dont need to be wealthy or noble, only asking them to love and protect you!
Chapter 191 - 191 Feng Yi Shuang’s End
191 Feng Yi Shuangs End
The officials in the front hall, seeing the Emperor arriving at Prime Ministers Manor, all felt that the Prime Ministers Manor has quite the imperial favor and regarded Prime Minister even more highly. However, they didnt know that the Emperor was merely temporarily cating Prime Ministers manor, while he was suppressing Prime Ministers manor secretively.
This old subject appreciates Your Majestys sympathy! Prime Minister An gratefully greeted the Emperor.
Beloved subject please rise! The Emperor had Eunuch Lu help Prime Minister An up, offeringfort, Beloved subject is a pir of Feng country. You must pay heed to your health. Dont be overwhelmed by grief.
It truly looked like the a pair of cordial monarch and subject. But whether it was the Emperor or Prime Minister An, both were merely acting. Prime Minister Ans eyes shed with smugness as his eyesnded on Lan Jian Jun, standing off to the side. Dont you, Lan Jian Jun, love that legitimate daughter the most? After today, they shall see if this sworn enemy can still stand there like that.
Lan Jian Jun could tell there was something with Prime Minister Ans expression and felt panic slither into his heart. With his son was right beside him, for Prime Minister An to be so smug at him, the matter can only concern Nianer. Lan Jian Jun panicked, wanting to find his daughter.
But without waiting for Lan Jian Jun to leave, a maidservant of Prime Ministers manor fell to her knees wailing, Prime Minister, the little master he...
Prime Minister An panicked slightly as he heard this. Though everything went ording to their ns, Prime Minister An couldnt help feeling distressed thinking of that little grandson who has just been born a few months ago. That was his An manors bloodline. To be able to die for An manor was that childs honor. A child in exchange for a blow against Lan manor was worth it.
What? What happened to this old mans grandson? Prime Minister An demanded in a panic. Then, he questioned the Empress who was following beside the Emperor, Wasnt this old mans grandson with the Empress? What-what is going on?
The Empress looked confused, saying When this empress learned of His Majestys arrival, I handed the child to Lan manors Miss Lan to take care of. Though Miss Lan is an unmarried girl, she should be able to look after a child. What is going on?
When Lan Jian Jun heard this, he knew his daughter was schemed against by the Empresss faction and his entire face darkened. He was fully aware of the danger of the disputes between the different parties, but he didnt expect these people to drag his daughter into this whirlpool one time after another. He, Lan Jian Jun, wont let Prime Minister manor have an easy time!
Meanwhile, Feng Xia Qi and Jing Wu An both realized today wasnt merely a funeral but also a conspiracy. The two of them believed in Lan You Nians abilities and cleverness in dealing with these, but they couldnt help worrying.
How could Emperor Feng Xuan not understand these people were directing their attack against Lan manors girl? Thinking of his sixth son who was at the borders, if something should happen to this girl, then the consequences...the Emperor felt a headacheing just thinking about the possibilities.
What has happened? Emperor Feng Xuan demanded, while considering if something happened, how could he save Lan ns girl.
This servant doesnt know. Only Miss Lan and little young master are in the room, but the doors are stuck closed, so this servant came for instruction! That maidservant trembled as she knelt on the ground, sneaking nervous looks at Prime Minister An from time to time.
Your Majesty, let this consort go take a look. The child is still very little. If something has happened..., the Empress said anxiously.
What can happen! Emperor Feng Xuan roared and then said, Since this happened at Prime Ministers manor and this emperor is present, we will go together to take a look. This emperor would like to see what could possibly happen to Prime Minister manors legitimate son in Prime Ministers manor!
With the Emperors words, the expressions of the Empress and An manor changed slightly, but considering even if the Emperor has the intention to be partial, he couldnt block gossiping mouths!
~
What is Her Majestys intention in framing this humble girl? What purpose does Prime Minister Manor have in indiscriminately ndering this girl? Lan You Nian whom everyone was talking about appeared together with Jing manors marquis and Yue countrys Princess Bai Lian. Lan You Nians usually polite smile already recovered its unswerving serenity, even slightly expressionless with indifference, giving off an unattainable feeling.
The Empress and Prime Minister An stared at Lan You Nian in disbelief. Beside Lan You Nian stood a marquis and a princess. Prime Minister An was in a panic. If Lan You Nian was here, then, who was in the room? So his little grandson in vain...
Nianer! Lan Jian Jun, seeing his daughter appear, sighed in relief inside. Knowing that Prime Minister Ans plot wouldnt affect Nianer, Lan Jian Jun settled his heart back into his stomach.
Respects to Your Majesty! the three of them greeted the Emperor.
Beloved subject Jing, whats going on? Emperor Feng Xuan asked Marquis Jing. Howe Her Majesty does Lan familys girl is looking after Prime Minister manors legitimate son in the room? How is Lan familys girl with you? Emperor Feng Xuan knew, since Lan familys girl was with Jing Leng, what has happened today was alright. Jing Leng, this person, was quite fond of sixth son, so naturally he wouldnt let anything happen to the girl sixth son liked.
What is Her Majesty saying? Jing Leng looked at the Empress without any respect. In his heart, the Empress will always be his little sister, not this hypocritical woman. Recently, Lan familys girl said she had a recipe for brewing wine for this subject. This subject just happened to encounter Lan familys girl and Princess Bai Lian. These two girls have been apanying this subject walking around, letting Lan familys girl tell this subject the recipe along the way. This subject heard His Majesty attended personally, so I brought the two girls over to present themselves to His Majesty. How has it be the usation of plotting harm against Prime Ministers legitimate son?
Not only does Uncle Jing doesnt understand, this girl doesnt understand either. Howe Ive been used of such a great crime in such a short time? Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian stood beside Lan Jian Jun as Lan You Nian asked in confusion.
Would this empress have lied? the Empress looked at Lan You Nian in fury. Clearly, shes arranged several guards with high levels of martial arts outside in fear that Lan You Nian will run away when the time came, yet she was still able to escape. Could someone have helped her? The Empress nced at Jing Leng, feeling that Lan You Nian was able toe out of the room was because of Jing Leng.
When this empress left, only you were in the room. Now the maid said something has happened to the child, shouldnt I suspect Miss Lan? the Empress said haughtily, without a trace of panic.
Lan You Nians radiant eyes stared directly at the Empress as she said As soon as Your Majesty left, this girl left the room as well. When this girl left the room, I handed the child, without a single hair out of ce, to a pce maid. With this said, what suspect does this girl have? Lan You Nian smirked. Besides, does anyone know what exactly has happened to Prime Minister manors legitimate son? Since no one knows what has happened, why is Her Majesty so certain something has happened to Prime Minister manors legitimate son? Can Her Majesty foresee things?
You... the Empress was made speechless. She didnt expect this girl to be meticulous at such a young age, to entrust the child to a pce maid after she left the room. That way, it really had nothing to do with her-todays trap was set in vain!
Lan You Nians eyes shed with killing intent, seeing the Empress and Prime Minister An flustered. Of course this trap wasnt just a disy. Though I cant use this trap to deal with you people, it is more than enough to deal with Feng Yi Shuang. Speaking of which, she really should thank them!
In this case, this matter has nothing to do with Lan girl! Emperor Feng Xuan dered. As the countrys Empress, you arecking in judgement. Empress, this emperor is disappointed in you! Emperor Feng Xuans words were not only striking the Empress, it was pping Prime Minister Ans face. After all, Prime Minister An didnt have any judgement either.
Ah! Suddenly, a sharp painful screech sounded from the room.
Whats going on? Emperor Feng Xuan said, displeased. How could this Prime Minister Manor can alwayse up with so many things? It seems he should let sixth and them make a move quickly; otherwise, such an endless plotting this and plotting that, when will it end?
The wicked smile on Lan You Nians lips became deeper as she followed the crowd over to the room. Before they could approach the room, they saw a matron-An Gong Jings wife-wailing as she held an infant outside the room. The shrill and forlorn cries made the Prime Minister manor that was decorated with white seem even more gloomy.
The matron upon seeing An Gong Jing, crawled on her knees over to An Gong Jing, wailing, Husband, save my child, save our child! Why wont he open his eyes? Lan You Nian, seeing this, knew the woman wasnt aware of the Prime Minister and their ns. Thats right, who would be willing to part with the flesh that fell from her own belly to be murdered by his own father and grandfather?
An Gong Jing looked at the lifeless infant in the womans arms. It would be a lie to say he wasnt distressed, but for their big ns, he was willing. After all, he can have more children in the future, but there wouldnt be many opportunities. At present, Prime Minister Manor was already starting to go downhill.
Wife An Gong Jing gently called his wifes name. The child has already passed. Let go of him alright?
No! Not possible! The matron gripped the child even tighter, refusing to let go. Shes been married to An Gong Jing for many years. She has only given birth to one son and one daughter, and her son was killed by Lan Zhi. It wasnt easy for her to give birth to this son, so she doted on him very much. How could the child be gone shortly after the Empress took him away?
Wife, An Gong Jing looked at his wife, not feeling good either, and felt hated Lan manors people even more. Why do they suffer the consequences every time they plot a trap for Lan manor?
The child is already dead! Wake up! Someone, take eldest madame back! Prime Minister An was about to vomit the old blood in his heart. His plot was wless-he even brought over his daughter from the pce and paid with a grandson-but it was all in vain!
No! No! the matron saw the family retainers wretch the dead infant from her. The matron seemed to have gone mad as she yanked Feng Yi Shuang by the hair out of the room, like a shrew, dragging out Feng Yi Shuang who was hiding in the room.
Feng Yi Shuang, after being dragged and wed at, was disheveled. Her cheeks showed several scratches made by the matron. When the crowd saw Feng Yi Shuang being dragged out, they were even more confused. How could a princesse out of this room?
Enough! The Emperor said to the guards, So unseemly! Drag them apart!
After the guards dragged the two apart, the matron fell to her knees, Your Majesty please give this humble concubine justice! Its her! The matron pointed at Feng Yi Shuang, her eyes filled with bone-chilling hatred. She killed my child! She stole my child!
It cant be. It was done by the second princess? The crowd started to gossip after hearing this. None of them ever would have thought Feng Yi Shuang would kill Prime Minister manors legitimate son. None of them understood why the second princess would do this.
Feng Yi Shuang didnt understand what was going on either. She went to use thetrine and then woke up in this room. The child in her arms no longer had any breath. She was really afraid so she was going to throw the infant out. Just as it happens, this matron walked in, believing she killed this child.
Youre absurd! Feng Yi Shuang said furiously, This princess didnt kill this child! When this princess came into the room, this child was already dead! Feng Yi Shuang refuted.
With Feng Yi Shuangs words, the Empress felt a shock of surprise, ording to the second princesss words, when Miss Lan left the room, the child was already dead? In this case, it has nothing to do with the second princess!
Yes, it must be Lan You Nian! This princess has no strife with Prime Minister manor. How could this princess kill this child? Feng Yi Shuang affirmed.
Lan You Nian walked over to the dead infant, When has Her Majestys ears be deaf? This girl clearly said when I left the child with a pce maid, the child was still fine. Has Her Majesty already forgotten? Or is Her Majesty determined to pour this dirty water on this girl today?
This empress didnt nder you. What if you poisoned this child? Some poisons take time to take effect! the Empress aid viciously. This child was already poisoned by them. They only had to say Lan You Nian was the one who ced the poison.
Feng Xia Qi and the others could already see all of the schemes. Feng Xia Qi was about to take a step out to say something but Lan You Nian shot him a look. Feng Xia Qi was a smart man, so he understood what Lan You Nian meant. To the Empress, he said, Theres no meaning in continuing this dispute. Since Her Majesty is determined to use Nianer meimei, lets have the imperial physician to check it out. That way, everyone will be given justice!
Lan Mo Xian looked at Feng Xia Qi in panic. Seeing Feng Xia Qis expression was normal, Lan Mo Xian felt a slightly reassured. He trusted fourth wangye wont harm his little sister.
At this moment, the Empress felt Feng Xia Qi whos fought with her son for so many years was nothing much to speak about. Meanwhile, Prime Minister An was a little suspicious. Fourth wangye handled matters methodically. From his hands, he couldnt gain any benefit. So how could he say something like this?
Emperor Feng Xuan waved his hand, granting the request. There was an imperial physician at Prime Minister manor today, so immediately an imperial physician checked the corpse of the infant. After a while, the imperial physician said, Your Majesty, this infant did not die by poison but was choked to death. The bruising hasnt faded, so it is certain Miss Lan isnt the culprit! the imperial physician felt some sympathy for this Lan manors littledy. Howe every time it was aimed at her?
No, how is it possible, not possible! the Empress uttered in disbelief. Meanwhile, Feng Yi Shuang fell on her buttocks in fear. If the infant was choked to death, she cant from being charged with the crime.
Does Her Majesty still not believe? Feng Xia Qi chewed on his words, In this case, why dont we question the pce maid standing guard? Feng Xia Qi pointed at that pce maid, You exin what has happened!
Answering fourth wangye! the pce maid knelt on the ground, After Her Majesty left, Miss Lan also left. When Miss Lan left, the child was still fine. In the end, second princess entered the room and this servant was chased. Later, this madame started screaming!
Now isnt everything clear? What else does Her Majesty want to say? This girl has been med wrongfully many times. If Her Majesty still doesnt understand, you can tell this girl. This girl will resolve Her Majestys confusion! Lan You Nians eyes were slightly chilly like ice at the peak of a snowy mountaintop. Only a nce already made peoples hearts shudder.
The Empress remained silent. No matter what she says, she wouldnt be able to drag Lan You Nian in. Its better if she didnt say anything.
Lan You Nians eyes shed with satisfaction, studying the pce maid kneeling on the ground. This pce maid wasnt one of her people but was a chess piece Feng Xia Qi ced by the Empresss side. This chess piece was a big help today. No one would suspect the words of the Empresss own pce maids.
Your Majesty, please give justice to this subject-wife! Second princess killed subject-wifes child. Your Majesty please bring justice! the matron already believed that Feng Yi Shuang killed her child, and now there is a witness and physical evidence, the matron pleaded.
Imperial Father, subject-daughter didnt... Feng Yi Shuang cried, attempting to exin.
But the Emperor didnt give Feng Yi Shuang the chance to exin. Someone must shoulder the responsibility of this crime, so Feng Yi Shuang couldnt be saved, Remove second princesss title as princess and degrade to amoners status, no longer allowed to enter the pce! The Emperor paid no heed to Feng Yi Shuangs pleading and left Prime Minister Manor. The Empress followed back to the pce in a rage.
This girl epts Prime Minister manors present. It will be repaid tenfold! Lan You Nian curtsied and left the Prime Minister manor with Lan Jian Jun and the others, leaving the Prime Minister and his son An Gong Jing in a state as they threw the objects in their hands onto the ground. The Prime Minister felt his vision turning dark. After everything, they werent even able to topple Lan manor.
Feng Xia Qi and the others didnt return to their manors. Instead, they snuck into Lan manor. Ever since Lan You Nian returned to Lan manor, Lan manor has be more lively. Everyone would always run over to Lan manor, no matter the reason. However, they were always cautious. Whenever they came to Lan manor, they didnt allow certain concerned people notice.
Lan Qu brewed and served up some quality tea for the people present. The first one who couldnt help himself from asking was Lan Jian Jun,Nianer were you hurt?
No, Lan You Nian shook her head. She couldnt help admire Prime Minister Ans means, being so ruthless just to ruin her.
What exactly happened? Lan Mo Xian asked anxiously. He was really afraid today. Why was it every time his little sister went out, there were so many people who wanted to hurt her? He was ashamed that as her older brother he couldnt help her at all.
The matter of exining what happened was left to An San. Actually, the moment Lan You Nian entered the room, the infant was already poisoned, so when the innocent infant died by poison, with only Lan manors legitimate daughter, who didnt have an amiable rtion with Prime Minister manor, was present in the room, no matter how Lan You Nian exined, she wouldnt be able to clear herself of the me. Thus, Lan you Nian had Lan Feng deal with the guards outside left by the Empress while An San lugged over Feng Yi Shuang who was knocked unconscious. By the time Feng Yi Shuang came to, the infant was already dead.
At the time, Lan You Nian used a silver needle to seal away the poison in the infants body. Ordinary people wouldnt be able to figure it out. Then, she created the illusion that the infant was choked to death. Then, Lan you Nian and An San walked straight out of the room as Lan Feng lured An Gong Jings madame over. Then, the chess piece Feng Xia Qi ced by the Empresss side was made use of by framing Feng Yi Shuang.
Ai, a healthy child was actually... Hua Mu Qing murmured mncholily. The child was innocent yet it was used by those people to harm other people.
Lan Mo Xian patted Hua Mu Qings hand infort. They stood in a high position and were able to see more things than most people, but they must not have so much sympathy. How could Hua Mu Qing not understand? She was only uttering her discontent.
Lan You Nian looked at Lan Jian Jun. She doubted her father was able to ept her framing Feng Yi Shuang. Lan Jian Jun had an upright air, unlike her who lives in the darkness. However, Lan You Jian did not see the me in Lan Jian Juns eyes, which was quite unexpected for her. What Lan You Nian doesnt know that though Lan Jian Jun was an upright man, at the same time, he was a father. He believed in his daughter.
Nianer, what are you thinking? The sonorous voice carried hints of doting, the rough tone was filled with gentleness. Lan Jian Jun looked at his daughter who was staring at him.
Wont father ask Nianer why I treated Feng Yi Shuang that way? Lan You Nian asked, feeling slightly anxious inside. She didnt know whether this rtionship between father and daughter can still continue.
Lan Jian Jun chuckled heartily, My, Lan Jian Juns, daughter doesnt need a reason whatever she wants to do. You only need to know father will always stand by you!
When the voice drifted into her ears, Lan You Nians heart jumped as a warm current flowed into her heart, from her heart up to the tip of her nose. It was wonderful to have such a father.
Feng Xia Qi was happy for the father and daughter pair, but still asked, As for Feng Yi Shuang, how does Nianer meimei want to deal with her? Since this Feng Yi Shuang dares tomit arson, then she must suffer the consequences. Feng Xia Qi didnt trust this little sister born of the same father but different mother to behave herself in the future.
Lan You Nian pondered on it for a moment and then said, Eradicate! Since shes already amoner, it would be much easier to kill Feng Yi Shuang without any troublesome follow-up.
Leave it to me! Feng Xia Qi said. He still wanted to do something for her, even though it may seem absurd.
Lan You Nian didnt overthink it and nodded her head in confirmation.
When everyone left, Lan You Nian said to Lan Feng, Let An Gong Jings wife know the truth behind her childs death. Internal fighting is the most entertaining...
Chapter 192 - First Time
Chapter 192 First Time
Winters first snow fall blew in quietly. This years New Years Eve was almost here. Lan You Nian stood in front of the window overlooking everything. Suddenly, she felt everything was quiet. The only restless heart was longing for the faraway Feng Yi Xuan.
When Lan You Nian woke up at dawn, she found it was snowing. These heart-warming snowkes didnt stir Lan You Nians heart. She was nestled in the pavilion all day without leaving, simply watching the drifting snow outside, so quiet it made peoples heart ache.
After washing up, Lan You Nian had Lan Wu and the others go rest. Lan You Nian didnt feel a sliver of drowsiness. She couldnt help reaching out a hand to capture an icy snowke. The snowkes were very yful. Lan You Nian wanted to catch it with her hand but it seeped through the seam between Lan You Nians fingers. Only when Lan You Nian had given up, it tried desperately to fall into Lan You Nians hand. The pleasant coolness tickled her hand. Lan You Nian released a warmth breath and the snowke melted into a crystalline bead. Lan You Nian lifted her hand to gaze up at the snowkes fluttering from the sky, as if she too would float up into the air.
Suddenly, Lan You Nians eyes widened, for she saw a man standing in the heavy snow of her courtyard. The expression in his eyes was indulgent as he looked upon her. His lips were curled upwards, seemingly smiling as his eyes were filled with a tenderness that could drown someone in them, making Lan You Nian feel like she wanted to drown in those eyes.
Xuan? Lan You Nian gaped at Feng Yi Xuan, as if in disbelief.
Feng Yi Xuan stood as tall and straight as before he left, umonly handsome. His trimmed sharp brows were tightly furrowed. Everywhere those dazzling purple eyesnded on, a storm raged. His wless features seemed to have been frozen by ciers as he looked over Lan You Nians thin outfit, his face was an evesting frost and worry.
Before Lan You Nian could get down from the pavilion, Feng Yi Xuan flew into the pavilion, pulling Lan You Nina into his arms, as if the many days of emptiness was finally filled up.
Xuan? Lan You Nian murmured.
Nian Nian, I missed you so much! His voice was especially gentle, so unlike the usual Feng Yi Xuans mechanized coldness, carrying a warm gentleness like the sunshine at the start of spring, addicting and and indolent.
Lan You Nian wasnt able to utter a word before Feng Yi Xuan impatiently kissed her, his tongue swiftly darted inside her mouth, repeatedly sucking, from gently and softly to a heady tempest within a blink of an eye.
As Feng Yi Xuan kissed the lips of the girl in his arms, she tasted as sweet as he imagined. Every day and night, he longed to kiss these lips while he was at the borders. Nian Nians lips were like a sweet and mellow spring, making him uncontrobly want to taste more of it, bing addicted without any inhibition.
Feng Yi Xuan repeatedly ravished her lips, over and over again. A ripple of gentle and dazzling light lingered in his brows. Under the moonlight, he was brimming over with love and pampering. His slender hands traveled down from her graceful shoulder, unable to restrain himself.
Lan You Nian was light-headed from Feng Yi Xuans kiss. Because of her longing for Feng Yi Xuan thats been building up over the days, Lan You Nian boldly responded to Feng Yi Xuans kiss. Lan You Nian shy response was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for Feng Yi Xuan. Even without Lan You Nian doing anything, Feng Yi Xuan would feel both an emotional and physical excitement, much less now he has the beauty in his arms, Lan You Nians fragrant tongue responded to him, Feng Yi Xuan felt he was about to explode.
Feng Yi Xuan already desired Nian Nian very much, not only a physical desire but also an emotional desire. He wanted to be together with Nian Nian.
Lan You Nian was startled when Feng Yi Xuans hand stroked all over her body, but she merely giggled, allowing Feng Yi Xuan free rein. Even if she really gave in to Feng Yi Xuan, she wouldnt regret it, but based on Lan You Nians understanding of Feng Yi Xuan, this man wouldnt take her like this. Because he loved her, he wasnt willing to take her while she was still so young.
Lan You Nian guessed correctly. Though Feng Yi Xuan desired Lan You Nian, he knew Nian Nian was still young. If he took her, it would only harm her female root. Feng Yi Xuan wanted to marry Nian Nian grandly before taking her. However, Feng Yi Xuan considered there was still two years before Lan You Nian came of age, he wanted to eat meat; he wanted to collect his interest!
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nians petite body as his hands became a little frisky...
Mm... When Lan You Nian realized such a sultry sound came from her, she bit down on her lips in embarrassment. She felt shes be so strange.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nians lustful moan, his body tightened and his breathing became harsher. He felt Nian Nians moans were more powerful than any aphrodisiac. He loved such sounds to death.
Feng Yi Xuan stopped Lan You Nian from biting her lips by continuing to kiss her. He felt he will go mad if he continued to endure this! Definitely fall into madness!
Feng Yi Xuan used his internal force to m all the windows in the pavilion close as he carried the girl in his arms over to the wood-carved bed. Before Lan You Nian could react, Feng Yi Xuans entire body hovered over Lan You Nians delicate body. Lan You Nian could even feel Feng Yi Xuans body was burning hot and taunt. Lan You Nian felt a little bad for Feng Yi Xuans forebearance.
Feng Yi Xuan let go of Lan You Nians bright red lips. He was kissing the girl he loved. The girl in his arms was his one desire-his life!
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuans voice has became even more sensual and hoarse from lust.
Lan You Nian was feeling a little shy. Though she understood these matters, she didnt know how to put it into action. Seeing such an amorous Feng Yi Xuan bing even more tempting , Lan You Nian felt she has been bewitched.
Nian Nian, help me... Feng Yi Xuans forehead pressed against Lan You Nians forehead. The fire in his body transferred to Lan You Nian from the twos touching bodies, making Lan You Nian feel her own temperature raising.
How? Lan You Nians voice was so tender and delicate, giving people the feeling they were chewing on sweet and soft cotton candy, pleasant to the ears. Lan You Nian cant be med for being muddle-headed, for Lan You Nian has always been this muddle-headed around Feng Yi Xuan. Besides, Lan You Nian really didnt understand.
Feng Yi Xuans entire body was pouring down sweat. His forehead was already to pop with veins from restraining himself. Feng Yi Xuan couldnt bear it any longer as he grabbed Lan You Nians petite hand in his.
Lan You Nian, like a frightened kitty, wanted to snatch her hand back, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt let her, his voice pitiful, Nian Nian, it hurts, help me!
Though Lan You Nian wanted to cower, when she looked at Feng Yi Xuan, she felt her heart ache, so...
When it was over, Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who was massaging her hand, grievously ring at at Feng Yi Xuan. Why did this man take so long!
Feng Yi Xuan was satisfied as he held Nian Nian. Though he didnt really eat Nian Nian, he still felt happy inside, because this meant Nian Nian didnt object to him. He wouldnt really eat Nian Nian, for he wanted to leave the best the the day they marry. Most importantly, Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nian was still too young and her body couldnt bear such things. Nian Nians body was more important than anything or anything. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian over to the screen panel and wiped off Lan You Nians body, as well as his own body; then, they changed into clean clothes andid on the bed together. Lan You Nian stared in horror at Feng Yi Xuan whose eyes were shining, Im really tired. No more! Feng Yi Xuans eyes were already starting to burn and Lan You Nian was really afraid. Feng Yi Xuan chuckled in amusement. Lan You Nian was leaning against Feng Yi Xuans chest so she could feel the tremors and the delightedughter.
Though Feng Yi Xuan wanted to continue, he knew Nian Nians hand were sore, so he couldnt bear for her to suffer. Speaking of which, it was his first time. That kind of feeling was still in Feng Yi Xuans mind. Feng Yi Xuan really longed for when he can really possess Nian Nian.
Lan You Nian reached out her hand, pinching at Feng Yi Xuans handsome face, saying fiercely Talk! How did you know? He actually let her use her hand to help him take care of it, honestly...
Feng Yi Xuans ears were a little red, and said with some embarrassment, I learned of this from reading some smut illustrations while I was at the border. Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt hide anything from Ln You Nian, but feared Lan You Nian will get mad, Its my first time. Really! Nian Nian, you must take responsibility!
Lan You Nian gazed suspiciously at Feng Yi Xuan. Many men, if they kept their bodies clean, will use their right and left hand to take care of the problem. Lan You Nian believed Feng Yi Xuan didnt have any other woman. With Feng Yi Xuans temper, he wouldnt allow any woman to approach him. Lan You Nian was certain of this.
You havent done this yourself? Lan You Nian hadnt taken off her small hand from Feng Yi Xuans handsome face.
Feng Yi Xuan saw the air outside the nket was colder so he pulled Lan You Nians hand back into the nkets. He hugged Lan You Nian, stating seriously but slightly awkwardly, I havent felt any lust before. I only feel desire for Nian Nian! Really! So never!
Lan You Nian believed Feng Yi Xuan, for Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt lie to her.
You can only feel lust for me in the future! Lan You Nian shut her eyes, dering imperiously.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan patted Lan You Nians back, coaxing her to sleep, however he was still excited over what happened, so he couldnt fall asleep. After being separated for so many days, theyre finally together again; Feng Yi Xuan felt fulfilled. It was because he missed Nian Nian too much so he was so impulsive. Though he was a little impulsive, he wouldnt really take Nian Nian. He wanted to leave the best for the wedding night. But recalling Nian Nians jade-like skin on her hand, Feng Yi Xuan realized he wanted it again.
Helplessly, he could only use his internal force to suppress the impulse of his body. Feng Yi Xuan couldnt bear to let Nian Nian tire herself again...
Chapter 193 - An Apple, A Touched Heart
193 An Apple, A Touched Heart
In the morning, when Lan Qu and Lan Wu came to serve their young miss, before they could step into the pavilion, they heard a masculine voice reverberate from within, Withdraw.
Lan Qu and Lan Wus made eye-contact, knowing Ming wang was back. They two of them can be reassured. Though they never felt otherwise in the past, they can tell young miss was happy with Ming wang by her side.
An San saw An Yi and the others standing guard in the courtyard of You Nian Pavilion and nearly skipped over to them, chattering about all the stuff that happened to everyone. Having nothing to do, Lan Wu and Lan Wu joined in conversation. They clearly belonged to two different masters, yet they were all chattered together like good friends. The atmosphere was strangely harmonious.
Though Feng Yi Xuan covered up Lan You Nians ears when he spoke, Lan You Nian still blearily opened her eyes and climbed out from Feng Yi Xuans chest. She didnt know whether it was because she didnt sleep enough or because of Feng Yi Xuans presence that she didnt feel awake. Her eyes were misty. Her palm-sized face appeared adorably dopey. Her hair was a mess as it cascaded over her shoulders. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, she was absolutely adorable.
Feng Yi Xuan couldnt hold himself back from stroking Lan You Nians messy hair. His voice was soft, Do you want to sleep some more? By the time they finishedst nights activity, it was already past midnight. Nian Nian was tired out. Feng Yi Xuan felt it was best if she slept some more.
Lan You Nian blinked her eyes a few times to wake herself. Though she didnt have much restst night, it was the most restful sleep shes had in a while. Lan You Nian shook her head.
Feng Yi Xuan, seeing this, picked up Lan You Nians clothes to help her dress. Whether it was due tost nights venting of lust or because hes back by Lan You Nians side, Feng Yi Xuan was in a very good mood this morning.
After the two finished washing up and walked out of the inner chamber, as Lan Qu and the others served the morning meal, they noticed Ming wangs eyes were brimming with tenderness and attentiveness as he gingerly carried the petite and peerless Lan You Nian in his arms, iparably cherished, as if even the slightest force can break that worlds greatest treasure.
Meanwhile, An San carried the daily bowl of medicine over. Lan You Nians overjoyed countenance instantly became miserable. Actually, when Feng Yi Xuan wasnt there, Lan You Nian obediently drank the medicine, but since he was with her, Lan You Nian became a little fussy.
Feng Yi Xuan waved his hand at the others. They knowingly left the room. With Ming wang here, he wouldnt let young miss act willful, so they were all reassured. Besides, theyve been separated for so long. They best not stay there to suffer the cold shoulder.
So bitter! Lan You Nian perched on Feng Yi Xuans thigh, muttering in vexation, I dont want to drink it!
Feng Yi Xuan sniffed the medicine and knew it was bitter but he wont relent on this matter. Feng Yi Xuan said sympathetically, Behave, good medicine is bitter to the taste. Youll get better after drinking it!
Lan You Nian pouted and prepared to drink. Shes not really refusing to drink. She only wanted to act spoiled with this man because she liked seeing this man spoiling and pampering her.
Feng Yi Xuan indulgently flicked Lan You Nians nose. Picking up the still warm medicine, he drank it; then, he locked down Lan You Nians head as he locked lips with her, transferring the medicine in his mouth into hers. Maybe because of the kiss, Lan You Nian didnt feel the medicine was so bitter anymore.
After finishing the medicine, Feng Yi Xuan stuffed the candied fruit An Yi left behind into Lan You Nians mouth. Lan You Nian obediently chewed on it, her eyes shuttered with a smile. The candied fruit was not only sweet, it carried a slight fragrance, making it even more delicious.
Seeing Lan You Nians enjoyment, Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nian liked this candied fruit and felt he made the right decision. Though he sent the quickest and best assassins in Ghost Realm to Jiangnan, but for Nian Nian, it was all worth it.
Feng Yi Xuan hasnt been back in the capital for some time, so there were many matters in the manor that required his judgement. But Feng Yi Xuan was reluctant to part with Lan You Nian, after the meal, causing An Yis and the other shadow guards eyebrows to twitch. It it really alright for their master to be so clingy?
Lan You Nian felt helpless and decided to return to Ming wang manor with Feng Yi Xuan. Sure enough, Feng Yi Xuan was overjoyed hearing this. He grabbed a white cloak to wrap Lan You Nian up into a little bear before he carried Lan You Nian into the carriage heading to Ming wangfu.
Arriving at Ming wang manor, Lan You Nian suddenly asked the steward,Uncle Feng, what day is it today? Actually, Ming wang manors steward didnt actually surnamed Feng. Feng was the national surname of Feng country. Those who were not members of the royal family were forbidden from possessing the Feng surname. However, because steward Feng looked after Feng Yi Xuan and oversaw Ming wang manor, the Emperor gifted him the surname Feng.
Upon hearing wangfeis words, Uncle Fengs weathered face smiled as he answered. He really wanted to have wangye to marry in wangfei as early as possible. Ming wang manor has been deste all these years. Only when wangfei came, it would gain some sense of life.
Lan You Nian was taken by surprise and her steps faltered, slowing down Feng Yi Xuans pace. It turns out tonight was Christmas Eve, a western tradition. If she didnt happen to ask what day it was, Lan You Nian wouldnt have remembered. Lan You Nian thought of those people who cared about her, those she loved and those who loved her. It seems shes obtained many sincere friends and this lover of hers. Then, shouldnt she do something this Christmas Eve?
Whats wrong, Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuan tightened the outer coat around Lan You Nian. He noticed Nian Nian was pondering on something after she asked what day it was.
Lan You Nian suddenly halted, pulling on Feng Yi Xuans hand, Xuan, I have some things to take care of, so I cant apany you! Lan You Nians voice contained guilt and uneasiness. She wanted to give everyone a surprise.
Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart ache seeing Lan You Nian act spoiled and uneasy. No matter what his Nian Nian did, she didnt need to have any concerns, not even him. So, Feng Yi Xuan pecked Lan You Nians forehead, murmuring, I apany you?
Lan You Nian shook her head, saying Ille back tonight okay? Have Uncle Feng make something tasty!
Feng Yi Xuan nodded his head dotingly. Though he hated he couldnt have Nian Nian by his side every moment of the day, Feng Yi Xuan understood his Nian Nian wasnt a canary (caged bird). She was an eagle that can soar shoulder to shoulder with him. And now that Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nian had him in her heart, he didnt feel so uneasy, so he can give Nian Nian her own space.
En, then Ill leave now! Lan You Nian then left Ming wang manor. Behind her, Feng Yi Xuan watched her departing figure with a gentle expression, until she left Ming wang manor. Feng Yi Xuan turned to An Er, Buy out Jiangnans shop that makes candied fruits.
An Er affirmed in reply; then, he had the underlings handle this. There werent many shops in Jiangnan that made candied fruits, neither could it be bought, but since Feng Yi Xuan was set on it, there wouldnt be any problems. If the soft approach didnt work, assassins loved to use force.
So, in the future, when Ming wang manor and Lan manor used the candied fruits that were locally produced in Jiangnan, many people were envious. Once the shop that made Jiangnans specialty candied fruits were bought by Ming wang manor, even the candied fruits used by the pce wasnt as good as Ming wang manors.
Lan You Nian took Lan Wu and Lan Qu to Zhen Wei Pavilion, even summoning over Lan Ren and Lan Feng who were busy with some other matters. The four people thought their young miss had some important matter, but they could never have guessed...
Lan Feng, you and Lan Wu go buy some pretty colored paper. Buy a lot! Lan You Nian said. Lan Ren, you and Lan Qu go help me buy some apples, also, buy a lot. You must pick the good looking ones.
Eh? Lan Wu and the others looked at their young miss in bewilderment, Young miss, there are plenty of fruits in the manor. With Feng Yi Xuan handling the food and clothing aspects of Lan You Nians life, Lan manor had a continual supply of all types of fruits.
Lan You Nian rubbed her forehead, speechless. If she wanted to eat fruit, why would it need to be apples? And would she need to buy so many? Lan You Nian was deeply disheartened by having such a naive Lan Wu by her side. She could only shoot her a re as she huffed, Why arent you going yet!? Have it done by this afternoon!
Hearing Lan You Nian say this, the four of them hurried to do what they were told. It wasnt the first time their young miss made some strange new thing. A lot of times the things young miss did confused them, but afterwards, after it was all done, it was novel and awe-inspiring for them.
When boxes of apples were transported into Zhen Wei Pavilion, Zhen Wei Pavilions stewards face was stiff, wondering what new dish Miss Miao Yin was creating.
When the four of them have assembled the things and Lan You Nian checked to make sure everything was perfect and after she hastily had a meal at Zhen Wei Pavilion, Lan You Nian and the four of them gathered in the room packaging every apple.
Wow! Lan Wu picked up the adorable multi-colored apple that Lan You Nian wrapped up, eximing, Young miss, its so pretty!
Lan You Nian didnt say anything, only teaching the three other girls how to package the apples. Meanwhile, the only man, Lan Ren, acted as an assistant. Such feelings, such interactions was how it was like all these years. They werent family but they surpassed family.
As night gradually fell, Lan You Nian shoved open the window of the suite in Zhen Wei Pavilion. The snow at dusk, deeply, seemed to have thousands of emotions, at the same time, tumultuous as the sea that could drown everything. It seemed to uncovering something concealed, exposing it to the world. The snowkes were all shapes and sizes, crystal clear, as if warriors on a campaign, donning silver armor, and like white war sails on a voyage...
Lan You Nian chose four apples that she packaged and gave it to the people with her, saying, Tonight is Christmas Eve. If you eat an apple this night, may you have a good and peaceful life next year!
{T/N: Christmas Eve is ƽҹ in chinese, which directly trantes to Peaceful Night. Its a y on words here, since apples is ƻ, which shares the homophone ping}
The four of them didnt know there was such a saying. Holding the apple in their hands, they slowly unwrapped the recently packaged apples in front of Lan You Nian; then, they were red-eyed as they devoured the apple, bite after bite. This was their young misss hopes for them, as well as her care for them.
By the time the four of them left Zhen Wei Pavilion, it was already dark out. Lan You Nian had the four of them deliver those apples to those people...
When Lan You Nian returned to Ming wang manor,nterns were already hung up on Ming wang manors gates. In the heavy snow, under the hazy light, the man donned in ck robes, whose face was as handsome as a gods and his bearing was so noble that people couldnt bear to profane, yet his gaze was tender, for those faintly purple eyes were as gentle as water.
Lan You Nians lips couldnt help curling up as she saw Feng Yi Xuan; then, hurrying her pace, she walked over to his side and naturally dove into his open arms, savoring the warmth of his body.
Why are you waiting for me outside? Arent you cold? Lan You Nian scolded, but her voice was filled with concern.
Feng Yi Xuan shoved the girl into his wide outer robes, walking as he talked, I wanted to see you as soon as possible! Even though it just a short distance from the entrance of the manor to his study, he still wanted to see her as soon as possible.
Ming wang manors front hall was lit up with a burner. As soon as they entered the hall, Lan You Nian felt the warm air rushing at her. The table was full of delicious dishes on it.
The two of them sat across from one another. Lan You Nian took out an exquisitely wrapped apple from her outer robe and handed it to Feng Yi Xuan. Her big eyes were curved like crescents and her twinkling eyes were like the sparkling stars at night, especially beautiful. The corners of her cherry lips were curled upwards, having hints of a child-like cuteness.
Feng Yi Xuan very naturally took it from her. Seeing Nian Nian so happy, his heart was nearly reverent with joy. He liked her childishness, he liked her spoiled temper, he really really liked the girl before him.
Lan You Nian tilted her head saying, Xuan, do you know, tonight is Christmas Eve. If you eat an apple on Christmas Eve, you will have a safe and peaceful life, so... Lan You Nian looked into Feng Yi Xuans no longer concealed purple eyes, I want Xuan to be safe and sound, always safe and sound!
Feng Yi Xuans gaze was as gentle and intimate as it always has, making people couldnt help but immerse themselves in it, not wishing to wake up. Gingerly, he unwrapped the apple in his hand. Though he really wanted to hide this apple away, he couldnt bear to disappoint Nian Nian. He wants a safe and peaceful life; even more, he wanted Nian Nian to have a safe and peaceful life.
Feng Yi Xuan took a bite of the apple; then, he nudged the apple to Lan You Nians lips, I want to have a safe and peaceful life with Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan even started to wish, if he ate the apple, Nian Nians poison will be cured and they could be well. He didnt know, but he was certain, he wont let Nian Nian be alone. He will be with her wherever she goes.
Lan You Nian took a bite of the apple from Feng Yi Xuans hand, her brows lit up with a warm and gentle smile. Her exquisite face was filled with a moonlight softness. (Xuan, do you know, the current me wishes to live. More than anyone, I wish to live, because I love you. I cant bear to leave you!)
Like a painting, the two of them sat there, one taking a bite after the other as they finished this apple that represented peacefulness, their hearts getting closer as always.
Meanwhile, many people in the capital received their own apple that represented peacefulness.
Lan manor, Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian looked at the apple in their hands. In the father and sons hearts, they felt the same pride. Lan You Nian finally epted them as family in her heart. She finally no longer rejected them. They finally have be a real family. You Nian Pavilions guards all received an apple. They all felt they followed a good master. Not only capable, she also cared for them. With this apple, Zhang Lin and the other guards became even more loyal.
Jing manor, Jing Leng looked at his son, Jing Wu An and daughter-inw Yu Liu Li. All three of them held an exquisite apple. Thinking of Lan You Nians consideration, their hearts were moved. Jing Leng especiallymented why wasnt such a child his own familys?
Fourth wangyes manor, Feng Xia Qi held the apple Lan Feng delivered, a smile lit up with happiness. Though he couldnt confess his feelings, but wasnt this enough? Using the position of friend and older brother, taking up a ce in her heart, it was already very good.
Junzhu manor, Hua Mu Qing looked at the cute looking apple. Turning it over in her hands, she couldnt bear to eat it. She didnt have any family, so this feeling of being cared for was very nice. Hua Mu Qing felt Lan You Nian will be her little sister for a lifetime, always be her friend.
The guest pce, when Yue Bai Lian received the apple, she was surprised. She didnt expect Lan You Nian to remember her at this time. Thinking that she will use another identity to live in Feng country, it was fine as long as she got to see her.
Xiao Jin Pavilion, after Gui San took care of business and returned to the suite, he received the apple. Gui San smiled indulgently at the apple. Only little junior could have thought of these quirky things. Gui San criticized mentally but he still devoured the apple, for little junior sisters thoughtfulness.
Ming armys army camp, Gui Wu held the apple in his hands, chuckling, making a group of rough old man envious from admiration upon hearing Lan Fengs words. Howe they didnt have someone caring for them? Then, everyone started to fighting over this humble apple.
Meanwhile, in Ming wang manor, after Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian finished their dinner, Lan Feng and Lan Ren carried box after box of apples into Ming wang manor. Lan You Nian had the shadow guards all gathered in the hall. Though none of them knew what wangfei wanted to do, but they all liked this little wangfei very much, so they all stood there respectfully.
Though Lan You Nian hated exining herself, but facing these subordinates whove been following Feng Yi Xuan all these years, Lan You Nian felt gratitude towards them, so Lan You Nian told everyone of eating apples on Christmas Eve; then, under their burning gazes, she gave everyone an apple.
Whether it was steward Uncle Feng or An Yi and the other shadow guards, or Ming wang manors manservant and the cooks in the kitchen. No one was left out. She knew many of the people in Ming wang manor seemed ordinary, but all of them had their own talents. It wasnt her intention to draw them to her side or anything. She wanted Ming wang manor to seem more like a home, so her Xuan wont be so lonely.
Those who received the apple all felt gratitude. They felt they were being respected and valued. Though wangye was a very good master, wangfei gave them a warmth wangye wasnt capable of giving. This kind of Ming wang manor seemed more like a home.
What Lan You Nian didnt know is, Ming wang manors shadow guards were all people from the Ghost Realm, so when Ghost Realms assassins learned of this, they all asked to change shifts and guard Ming wang manor. For this, all the men in Ghost Realms fought over it for a long time.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nian who was standing beside him, smiling at his subordinates. He too smiled. His Nian Nian was like an elf in the night or like a celestial maiden from the ninth heaven, beautiful, enchanting, pure, clean, her entire body permeated with a captivating aura and perfection. Feng Yi Xuan felt he would be addicted as soon as he encountered her, unable to extricate himself. If he couldnt meet this girl in this life, he will live his life alone until the end and continue to wait in the next life.
Chapter 194 - Lan Mo Xian’s Wedding
194 Lan Mo Xians Wedding
Wintertime, goose feathered flurries of snow fluttered to the ground. The ground was carpeted with snow, thick and soft; snow drifted onto the house, nketing it with snow, loose and soft; trees were covered with snow, the snow piling up on the branches bent over its waist. The bright sun cast its rays on the snow white mountain, emanating a dazzling brilliance.
Lan manor was bustling with activity, for it was the day Lan manors eldest young master, Lan Mo Xian, married in junzhu manors junzhu, Hua Mu Qing. Ever since the two of them became engaged, theyve been preparing for their wedding. but it couldnt be helped that they havent found an appropriate opportunity. With everyone in the capital and New Years Eve being a good day, Lan Jian Jun decided on a day for the two of them to marry. Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing were mutually in love, so they naturally prepared for the wedding.
Lan Mo Xian wasnt the type to be extravagant and wasteful. Though Lan Mo Xians wedding, it wasnt overly extravagant. But as it is the Generals manor, despite not being extravagant, other families could notpare to it. Many of the capitals prominent families came to attend the wedding.
Lan Jian Jun changed out of his usual uniform and into a festive ck robe lined with gold. He stood in the grand hall of Lan manor greeting all the guests good wishes with a smile. At this moment, he felt the joy of a father, feeling joy for his son for finding his own happiness.
Because Hua Mu Qing didnt have any rtives in the capital, nor did she have any other friends, fearing she would be lonely, Lan You Nian brought Lan Qu and the others to junzhu manor. Bai Lian, too, came to junzhu manor from the guest pce, to apany her as Hua Mu Qings friend.
A mama of the pce was currently brushing Hua Mu Qings hair and doing her makeup. Theplicated headdress weighed down on Hua Mu Qings head. Hua Mu Qing blinked her eyes helplessly at Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian,ining in misery, This headdress is so heavy!
Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian caught each others eye and snickered. Lan You Nianforted, It cant be helped. Arent all brides like this? Just bear with it for a while! She knew Hua Mu Qing was a simple and frank girl, so her usual attire was very simple. She preferred to disguise herself as a man, because it was morefortable to scamper about in.
The mama doing the hair and makeup dusted Hua Mu Qings face with a faintyer of powder and her light pink lips were also touched with scarlet. The bright red wedding dress made Hua Mu Qing appear even more fiery and zealous, as if she could ignite the entire sky. Its no wonder people say women are most beautiful on their wedding day, Lan You Nian quite perceived this.
Maybe because she wasnt used to such an attire, Hua Mu Qing couldnt help from fidgeting around, but such painstaking brides makeup didnt allow for carelessness. Yue Bai Lian couldnt couldnt bear it and held Hua Mu Qing down, not allowing her to mess up her makeup.
Nianer meimei, I... Hua Mu Qing was suddenly afraid as she clutched Lan You Nians hand, Im nervous!
Lan You Nian gently patted the hand Hua Mu Qing ced on hers,fortingly, Dont be nervous. Look, you have us friends with you and youll have a husband like older brother in the future, as well as Father, older sister Mu Qing, things will get better!
Hua Mu Qing pulled Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian on each respective hand, saying, After my parents passed away, I never felt any warmth. Many people found my uninhibited tomboyish personality shameful. I thought I will continue to be like this forever, but I didnt expect to meet you guys and I obtained friends. I never imagined I would end up together with Lan Mo Xian. I will have a family. Nianer meimei, do you know, you really are my lucky star!
Lan You Nian smiled warmly and said, From now on you are your own lucky star...
In a few moments, the news came that the groom has arrived. Because Hua Mu Qing no longer had any rtives, there wasnt all that many formalities. Lan Mo Xian, as the groom, directly walked into the bridal chamber. Landing his eyes on Hua Mu Qing who wore a veil over her head, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
Not only Lan Mo Xian came to pick up the bride, there was also He Chu Yang and Gui San. Originally, it had nothing to do with Gui San. It was Jing Wu An who was supposed toe, but it couldnt be helped Gui San kept pestering Lan You Nian until she agreed to let hime. Gui San simply loved to ogle all the fun.
Older brother, wheres my red envelope? Lan You Nian stood beside Hua Mu Qing, giggling mischievously. If theres no red envelope, I wont let the bride go!
[T/N: in a traditional chinese wedding, if the groom wanted to take the bride from her maiden home, he had to give out red envelopes (money) to the girls from the brides side of the family]
Lan Mo Xian let out augh as Gui San, part of the bridal escort, passed out all the previously prepared red envelopes to Lan You Nian, Bai Lian and the others, ignoring He Chu Yang who looked like hes about to stop him and Lan Mo Xian who seemed to want to speak but was forced to swallow his tongue. The only thing Gui San knew was to give all his money to his little junior sister.
Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian helped the veiled Hua Mu Qing walk out of junzhu manor. There was nothing worth lingering for in this ce for Hua Mu Qing. Yue Bai Lian helped Hua Mu Qing up the bridal sedan chair while Lan Mo Xian mounted his towering steed. On the road, drums and music reverted in the streets as they headed towards Lan manor.
On the way, many people ogled Lan manors eldest young master and junzhus wedding, appearing to be bustling with noise and excitement. As for Lan You Nian, she was suddenly carried away by Feng Yi Xuan in the hustle bustle of activity, because Feng Yi Xuan was displeased his Nian Nian actually spent so long with Hua Mu Qing.
But fortunately, Feng Yi Xuan didnt overstep his boundaries. After he returned Lan You Nian to Lan manor, Feng Yi Xuan straightened out Lan You Nians somewhat disheveled clothing and said, Our wedding ceremony will be even more beautiful than this!
When Feng Yi Xuan left to go to the front hall, Lan You Nian was still a bit dazed. She was a little looking forward to marrying him.
Lan You Nian, as Lan manors legitimate daughter, as the most popr and most nobledy in the capital, stood docilely beside Lan Jian Jun, witnessing Lan Mo Xian holding Hua Mu Qings hand as they performed the ceremony, witnessing them bowing to one another, witnessing a wedding as old as time.
Lan You Nian raised her head and saw Feng Yi Xuan sitting at the mens seating area, his expression gentle as he watched her. It seemed no matter when she looked back, she will always see this man standing somewhere not far from her, tenderly gazing at her, never leaving her.
Meanwhile, Feng Xia Qi and the others only gazed sourly at the newly wedded couple. Because they lost the bet, they had to give out more money. When the groom was toasting, Feng Xia Qi was so angry he started to coerce Lan Mo Xian to drink more. Its only a pity He Chu Yang and Gui San werent easy to deal with and let Lan Mo Xian slither away much earlier.
Say, should we go crash the bridal chambers? Yu Liu Li asked excitedly. They didnt have much friend. Since they were genuine friends, so when a friend marries, they all felt joy.
{T/N: Crashing or visiting (if you prefer) the bridal chamber is another traditional chinese wedding custom. Usually the grooms friends or rtives of the same generation would visit the bridal chambers and ys games, joke around and tease the bride and groom, so the atmosphere bes more lively and intimate to help the bride and groom get to know each other, since the bride and groom usually dont even know what each other look like before marriage}
You should go back to practice pressing down! Gui San said in contempt. He blocked a lot of wine for Lan Mo Xian tonight, so his words were a lot more straightforward. And he was a frequent resident of Xiao Jin Pavilion, so how innocent could he be? But none of them were sanctimonious people, so no one minded.
Just you wait, I will be on top one day! Yu Liu Li vowed, making all of them burst intoughter. Jing Wu An didnt say anything, because no matter how tough Yu Liu Li was, he was always on top in bed.
The lively day passed quickly. That night Lan You Nian nestled in Feng Yi Xuans arms, she was looking forward to their own wedding. She wondered if she would be like Hua Mu Qing, feeling uneasy yet happy.
What are you thinking about? Feng Yi Xuan tucked Lan You Nian in, asking. Actually, ever since that event happened that night, a lot of times, he wanted Nian Nian to help him take care of his desires, but he was a little unwilling. Fortunately, as long as he left Nian Nian, he wouldnt feel any desire, so most of the time the two of them didnt sleep together. But for some reason Feng Yi Xuan wanted to hug her to sleep. Though he wished for this every night, he especially longed for it this night.
Nothing. Im just so happy! Lan You Nian smiled. She was really happy. She had a lot of people who loved her. These people will find their own happiness. It gave Lan You Nian a wonderful feeling.
Then Nian Nian, when will you marry me? Feng Yi Xuans voice was slightly depressed. He nced at the petite little one in his arms, sighing, I feel like I cant anymore!
After Ivee of age, Ill marry you! Lan You Nian snickered. In Feng country, once girls reached the age of sixteen, they can marry, but a lot more girls married at fifteen. There were even some who married at thirteen, but thats because those girls were chess pieces on the political arena.
Theres still two more years! Feng Yi Xuan muttered in displeasure. It wasnt he couldnt wait. For the girl in his arms, no matter how many years, he will wait, not to mention two years. Its just after seeing todays wedding ceremony, he didnt feel like it was fair.
What? Lan You Nian reached out and pinched Feng Yi Xuans arm, huffing angrily like a little hot pepper, Youre not willing to wait?
Feng Yi Xuan allowed Lan You Nian her mischief. For him, it didnt hurt at all. He liked Nian Nian showing him a different side of her. It made him feel that Nian Nian only belonged to him.
No matter how long, Im willing to wait! Feng Yi Xuan didnt know how to sweet talk but because he didnt know, everything he said was from the heart. The most sincere was often the most moving and Lan You Nian was the one moved.
Feng Yi Xuan felt he was very greedy. In the beginning, he just wanted this girls heart to have him in it. After he learned Nian Nian liked him, he started to long for them to be together in matrimony, so they became engaged. And now he wished for them to get married. It seems, since meeting this girl, he learned to be dissatisfied. He loved her too much, so he was always thinking about letting the two of them be together forever.
Sleep! Feng Yi Xuan coaxed. He was reluctant to shut his eyes. He was greedy yet pleased...it seems after meeting Nian Nian, hes be different. He had someone he cared about, had someone he wanted to knead into his life, blood and bones.
Alright! It only took a while for Lan You Nian to fall asleep. The corner of her lips were still slightly curled upwards, as if even in her dreams, she was happy.
~*~*~*
Chapter 195 - Lan Wu’s Disapperance
Chapter 195 Lan Wus Disapperance
The warm sunlight of winter shed its rays into the chamber through the window, spilling onto Lan You Nians body, covering her with a golden glow. The sunlightnded on the side of her face, making that white and tender skin appear transparent. Along with those pretty brows, pert nose, and that slightly pursed lips, those deep and dark eyes were like the bright stars in the night sky, so stunning in beauty it made others unable to tear their eyes away.
Because it was nearly New Years Eve, though Feng Yi Xuan and the others were busy, Lan You Nian, on the other hand, was very idle. All day, she was either basking in the sun or she going to Ming wangfu to spend time with Feng Yi Xuan. Her days passed quite serenely, making her feel like shes really a nobledy of the boudoir.
Lan Qus footsteps were hurried as she rushed into the pavilion. Lan You Nian sat up. As soon as she heard Lan Qus uneven breathing and chaotic footsteps, she knew something must have happened for Lan Qu who was so organized to be like this.
Young miss! Lan Qus eyes were a little red as she fell to her knees, eximing, Lan Wus missing!
Speak! Lan You Nian couldnt help lifting her chin. Under the sunlight, those pair of eyes were as bright as the stars, as if a oppressiveness exclusive to a superior sunk into her bones, naturallying off her body.
Seeing Lan You Nian so calm, Lan Qus emotions steadied. Though usually she was steady, but this time something has happened to Lan Wu; their friend, their family, so she was panicked.
Lan Wu went over to Xiao Jin Pavilion to y yesterday afternoon but she didnte backst night. I thought Lan Qu was being frivolous and stayed behind at Xiao Jin Pavilion but when I went to Xiao Jin Pavilion this morning, third young master said Lan Wu should have returned yesterday afternoon, so Lan Wu is missing! Lan Qu said, then looked at her young miss.
Lan You Nians index finger rapidly tapped the table. A thick murderous air came off her in waves. She hasnt been this angry in a long time. Good, very good! She wants to see who dared to touch her people. Do they think shes easy to bully!?
Have everyone drop everything. Focus on finding Lan Wu!s whereabouts! Lan You Nian said, They most likely kidnapped Lan Wu because of me, so have Lan Feng go investigate the imperial court. As for the pugilistic world, have Lan Ren go check it out. Find out what route Lan Wu took yesterday! And, you guys be careful. If youre going out, have Zhang Lin and the others protect you! Lan Wu is already missing. She wont let other people encounter the same thing.
Lan Qu nodded and headed outside, beginning to have everyone investigate. Though she was worried, but from the first day they followed young miss, they knew this pugilistic world and the imperial court was constantly changing. They were young misss subordinates. No matter what, they must protect young miss, so though she was worried and afraid, her will was firm.
Lan You Nian sat there pondering for a moment then rode a horse from You Nian Pavilion to Xiao Jin Pavilion. At Xiao Jin Pavilion, Gui San was simrly worried.
Little junior sister! Gui San looked at Lan You Nian who shed into the room, even her hair emitted coldness. Gui San felt guilty. After all, the person left from his ce. Gui San knew what Lan Wu and the others meant to little junior sister but Gui San didnt know how tofort her. They all knew what Lan Wus disappearance meant.
Lan You Nian nodded and sat down, Have you found anything? The intelligencework was managed by Gui San. What she needed to know now was who kidnaped Lan Wu. As long as she knew who did it, then the next step was much easier.
We still havent found anything out, but we can be certain it wasnt done by anyone from the imperial court, so the person must be someone from the pugilistic world. Their aim is either you or me! Gui San analyzed. His expression was ugly.
Lan You Nians finger that was tapping the table increased her page, her voice was strangely clear. Gui San knew this gesture meant little junior sister was thinking.
Summon by everyone whos looking for Lan Wu. Third brother, you personally look! Lan You Nians finger paused then said. Her tone of voice didnt allow for any negotiation. Gui San wasnt dissatisfied, nodded, and went to do it. Ordinarily, this girl was their junior sister, the girl they protected, but once they encountered a problem, she was a decision maker, Wu Qing Pavilions pavilion master, their master. They were very clear on the difference.
Lan You Nian didnt have others looking doesnt mean she was giving up on Lan Wu. To her, as long it was her people, she will never give up. But the people who touched Lan Wu were clearly from the pugilistic world. The biggest reason for the people of the pugilistic world to touch Lan Wu was because of Gui San. Dont ask her why it wasnt herself, because the people of the pugilistic world dont know she was Master Wu Qing. Recently, someone probably noticed Lan Wu and Xiao Jin Pavilion had a close rtionship. Theyve probably kept watch on Wu Qing Pavilions people but couldnt find Master Wu Qing so they could only look for Gui San. Though Gui San was usually a phnderer but he never left behind anything others could hold against him. But Lan Wu can freely enter Xiao Jin Pavilion, so it let many people mistake Lan Wu and Gui Sans rtionship. So these people are using Lan Wu to threaten Gui San. By threatening Gui San, Master Wu Qing wouldnt be far off.
Lan You Nian knew if she used too many forces to search for Lan Wu, isnt this telling others Lan Wu and Master Wu Qings rtionship? Not only wouldnt they be able to save Lan Wu, they would harm her. But if Gui San personally went, these people will make their move. Even if its threatening Gui San, as long as someone stepped out, then it was a piece of cake to follow this clue,. The only thing they could do was wait.
Soon, Lan Qu, Lan Ren and Lan Feng returned to Xiao Jin Pavilion, sitting there with Lan You Nian without uttering a word. They knew their young miss, even if she didnt say anything or show any sadness, they knew their young miss mustnt be feeling good either. They didnt ask why young miss had them alle back. They believed in Lan You Nian!
Chapter 196 - 196 Mutual Dependence in Misfortune or Fortune
196 Mutual Dependence in Misfortune or Fortune
As Lan You Nian was waiting, Feng Yi Xuan also received the news. Feng Yi Xuan was always attentive of anything rted to Lan You Nian.
When An Yi reported this to Feng Yi Xuan, his expression was anxious. Feng Yi Xuan was expressionless as he nced at An Yi, causing An Yis body to stiffen. He lowered his head as he knelt in front of Feng Yi Xuan, wordlessly as he waited for his masters judgement.
Feng Yi Xuan put down the things in his heads saying, Where is wangfei now? In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, other people were really nothing. Call him cold-blooded or heartless, but in his heart and eyes, there was only one Lan You Nian.
Wangfei is at Xiao Jin Pavilion An Yi answered.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded. He knew his Nian Nian was probably distressed. Though he didnt care whether Lan Wu was dead or alive, he did care about Nian Nians feelings. Nian Nian treated the people by her self very well, especially to Lan Wu and the others. Feng Yi Xuan can tell Lan Wu and the others served Nian Nian diligently.
Have Ghost Realms people help Gui San search for her! Be covert! Feng Yi Xuan instructed. He knew Nian Nians intention, so he can only act covertly. He didnt want to ruin Nian Nians ns.
An Yi was different than usual as he nodded at Feng Yi Xuan and immediately left to take care of these matters, not at all like his usual aloofness. An Er and the others didnt point this out. They were shadow guards; not every shadow guard can be like Lan Ren and have their own love.
Wangye, at first it seems Wu Qing Pavilion received Young Master Wu Qings orders to search for Lan Wu, but afterwards, the orders were withdrawn. An San reported everything that happened to their master. Wu Qing Pavilion and Ghost Realm, though unrted, had their eyes on one another.
The moment Feng Yi Xuan heard the name Young Master Wu Qing, he felt ufortable inside. He hasnt forgotten the rtionship between Nian Nian and Young Master Wu Qing wasnt simple. Nian Nian has never mentioned Young Master Wu Qing. Thinking of Young Master Wu Qing taking care of Nian Nian all these years, it gave Feng Yi Xuan a feeling of two childhood sweethearts. The more Feng Yi Xuan thought about it, the more ufortable he felt.
Moreoever, Feng Yi Xuan can tell the authority Nian Nian had in Wu Qing Pavilion. Wasnt such authority given by Young Master Wu Qing? This Master Wu Qing was hidden in the shadows. Feng Yi Xuan felt there was too many rivals, making him irritated, just like this time Nian Nian didnt tell him anything but told told Master Wu Qing. Master Wu Qing was so cooperative with Nian Nian. Though Feng Yi Xuan trusted in Nian Nians feelings for him, he still didnt want his treasure to be coveted by someone else. After all thats said and done, he was jealous!
Wangye isnt going to look for wangfei? An San asked in confusion. At this time, shouldnt wangye stay by wangfeis side?
Feng Yi Xuan picked up a booklet from the table and continued to peruse it, She isnt that weak! Yes, how can his Nian Nian be that weak? There is no benefit to him appearing right now. He can give her space. He can protect her, love her, pamper her, but he cannot deny Nian Nians ability and means.
An San and them nodded. True, their wangfei, whether it was martial arts or other talents, cannot be underestimated. A lot of people, because of her young age and delicate build, forget she has abilities that doesnt lose to any man!
As Lan You Nian expected, when the person in the shadows saw Gui San madly looking for Lan Wu, he sent out a message to Gui San. Written on a note was If you want your woman back, rendezvous in the southern side of the forest.
Gui San took the note back to Xiao Jin Pavilion and handed it to Lan You Nian. Reading it, Lan You Nian didnt utter a word. These people really thought Lan Wu was Gui Sans woman. Gui San doesnt have any weakness but now theyve found one, they wouldnt let go of this opportunity.
Keep the appointment tonight! The note in Lan You Nians hand was crushed into tiny pieces. Then, no matter what they said, you have to pretend to agree to it. They didnt wont give up Lan Wu, so well tail them. Though they wont give up Lan Wu, they will shut Lan Wu in somewhere.
Gui San nodded. He didnt expect matters to be so stereotyped. Lan Wu was regarded as his woman. Sure enough, this matter was aimed at Wu Qing Pavilion.
If I guessed correctly, that womanst time has something to do with these people. Lan You Nian smiled coldly looking at the engravings in the table, Why would people do such stupid things?
It seems more people are watching Wu Qing Pavilion! Gui San said. They havent found any clues from the previous incident. Now these people eagerly sent themselves to their door. Indeed, theyre courting death. Is Wu Qing Pavilion an organization anyone can take a hit at?
Are those watching Wu Qing Pavilion few? Lan You Nian retorted. Wu Qing Pavilion grew too quickly, possessed too much. In the pugilistic world, there are many people who covet Wu Qing Pavilions wealth. The wise would observe but wont dare to attack suddenly. The endings of the gangs who had their sights on Wu Qing Pavilion was known by everyone. But such a big piece of fatty meat, there are many who are envious and a lot of flies, so people found another way and started with Xiao Jin Pavilion and Gui San.
When Feng Yi Xuan leaned Lan You Nian already received some news, he covertly had An Yi withdraw Ghost Realms people. He didnt do all these just to receive Nian Nians gratitude. He only wished Nian Nian to be carefree and without worries.
When Feng Yi Xuan broght An Yi to Xiao Jin Pavilion, he noted Lan You Nians bad mood. Even if her lips were curled upwards, her eyes were cold without any warmth. Feng Yi Xuan felt distressed, hating these people even more.
Xuan? Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who suddenly appeared in the room. She didnt conceal any of her matters, so its normal for Feng Yi Xuan to know Lan Wus disappearance. But she wasnt a frail girl. She had her own ability. She can take care of these herself. She believed Feng Yi Xuan believed too.
Have you ate? Feng Yi Xuan embraced the girls slightly cold body. He wanted to reprimand her but couldnt bear it. Really a girl who cant look after herself.
No! Lan You Nian honestly replied. She really wasnt hungry. Because of Lan Wus matter, she wasnt in the mood to eat.
Feng Yi Xuan shot Lan Qu a re. Lan Qu lowered her head from Feng Yi Xuans expression, her scalp starting to feel numb, and knew shesmitted a mistake. Their priority was to take care of young miss. She thought, if she was the one kidnapped, she would want Lan Wu to take care of young miss. Lan Qu immediately went downstairs to let the kitchen prepare the dinner meal.
Ill go with you tonight? Hm? Feng Yi Xuan filled Lan You Nians bowl. He wasnt afraid Lan You Nian wont be able to deal with those matters, but rather, he felt it was too cold outside. With him staying with Nian Nian, he could act as a warm stove for her.
Lan You Nian nodded, agreeing. She didnt feel as if she had anything to hide from Feng Yi Xuan.
Nightly silently arrived. Several people departed from Xiao Jin Pavilion, heading to the forest on the southern side. They followed right behind Gui San. Lan You Nian was carried in Feng Yi Xuans arms. Feng Yi Xuans qinggong was very good, so they were well-hidden. No one would notice them.
~*~*~
The chilly wind blew. The bare trees looked like old men, unable to stand the attack of the north wind as they swayed in the chilly wind. The leafless branches hung with fluffy and crystalline icicles. The evergreen pines and cypress of winter and summer piled up with fluffy, heavy snowballs.
Gui San stood in the quiet and cold forest as he waited. The fan was still held in his hands. Only at times like this would people wonder if the fan in this unruly Young Master Gui Sans hand wasnt used to tease women with but as a weapon of death.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan and the others concealed their breaths as they hid not far away, silently watching Gui San. They were powerful martial artists, so ordinary people wont be able to notice them. Besides, their position wasnt all that close.
Gui San waited in the snow for several hours but the people hiding havent appeared yet. Gui San didnt know any impatience. Even if he showed himself as dissolute, he was a schemer deep in his bones. Hezily stood amongst the snow, ying with the fan in his hands, seeming like any noble young miss of a prominent family.
Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan has be a little impatient. He didnt feel anything but he felt Nian Nians temperature lowering by the minute. Feng Yi Xuans breath became more and more dangerous. He gradually transferred his inner force into Lan You Nians body, raising her body temperature a little. Lan You Nian lifted her head beaming. Even if it was pitch ck, Lan You Nian can still feel Lan You Nians pure as moonlight smile.
They knew the people in the shadows were cautious. They were simrly afraid Gui San would y any tricks. Wu Qing Pavilions Young Master Gui San wasnt a simpleton, so they observed for a while, but they didnt see any activity so they were reassured.
Suddenly, Feng Yi Xuan was alert, because they could already sense the breaths of the neers. Gui San didnt stop toying with the fan in his hand. This meant he wanted to kill someone, but he cant.
Haha, Young master Gui San is punctual! Several men concealed under ck cloaks stood in front of Gui San. From head to toe, they were hidden by the cloak so their faces couldnt be clearly seen, but their martial arts was pretty good.
But this sir isnt punctual! Gui San dropped hiszy smile, the air around him became stormy. These people dared to have any have any ideas about Wu Qing Pavilion, having the delusion of controlling him. Theyre all fools.
Young Master Gui San should now, if this one isnt cautious, I wouldnt even know how I died. After all, Wu Qing Pavilion isnt one easily provoked. The neers voice was full of humor but proud, as if he was certain of Gui San.
Hmph! Gui San snapped the fan open with one swish of his hand, coldly ring at the neers, Since you know Wu Qing Pavilion isnt one you should provoke, this sir dares to do so, I know know if I should say this sir is courageous or youve lived enough!
You! The neer didnt seem to expect Gui San to be so arrogant at this time, but recalling the hostage in his hand, the neer suppressed his fury, mocking, Young master Gui San shouldnt be so arrogant. Your little beauty is a guest at this ones ce. Tsk tsk, such a pretty little beauty really cant bear any torture!
The fan in Gui Sans hand trembled slightly but he suppressed the desire to kill rising in his heart. Though Lan Wu was only little junior sisters subordinate, theyve be familiar with each other after so many years and were friends. Now his friend is in trouble, Gui San was truly infuriated.
In the shadows, Lan You Nian narrowed her eyes. The ck seas of her eyes surged. Her hand that gripped the Feng Yi Xuans clothes on his chest clenched. Lan Feng and the others were beyond angry. They all suppressed the desire to charge and kill in fury.
They all noticed An Yis, lying low behind Feng Yi Xuan, hand gripping his sword was beginning to bulge with veins. That face that is always expressionless is clouded with fury and uncontroble worry.
What does this sir what to do? Gui San looked at the men in ck, his eyes impatient.
The man in ck said, This one doesnt want to do anything. I only want to make a deal with Master Gui San, one that is both beneficial to me and Master Gui San. The man in ck seemed certain Gui San would agree as he continued, All these years Young Master Gui San has subordinated yourself under Young Master Wu Qing, is Young Master Gui San truly willing? How about Young Master Gui San and I join hands. This way Wu Qing Pavilion would belong to Young Master Gui San!
It had to be said the things he said was tempting. Ordinary people cant stand against the temptation. Who doesnt want power, money and status? But the man in ck miscalcted Gui Sans temperament. He guessed wrong Gui San and Wu Qing Pavilions connection.
Gui San mockingly looked at the men in ck. These people really do regard him, Gui San, highly. He, Gui San, didnt love power but loved beauties. Why didnt they look into it more clearly? Not to mention Wu Qing Pavilion is little junior sisters, even if its someone elses, he, Gui San, wasnt at the mercy of others.
Haha! Gui San snorted, then said, If I dont agree?
The man in ck clearly didnt expect Gui San to withstand such temptation. Does this man really want to subordinate under Young Master Wu Qing? No, not possible! In this world, who isnt selfish? This Young Master Gui San must be too!
Young Master Gui San should know your little beauty is a guest of this ones. Young Master Gui San doesnt know my brothers know how to love beauties the most. If such a pretty little flower is crippled, will Young Master Gui San feel distressed? the man in cks voice carried a threatening tone.
Youve touched her? Gui San roared, his eyes filled with killing intent. The expression of the people in the shadows were cial as their fingers shifted. If the man should nod his head, then they probably couldnt hold themselves back from killing them, killing those who harmed Lan Wu.
The man in ck seemed to sense the air became colder, hurriedly saying, No, this one didnt let anyone touch that little beauty, but some physical suffering cant be guaranteed. If Young Master Gui San agrees early, then the little beauty wont have to suffer such pain, right?
Gui San looked at the man in ck, If this young master agrees, will you give her back to this young master? Actually, Gui San knew they wouldnt but he still asked because only this way can eliminate any of their suspicions and let them know his regard for Lan Wu.
The man in ck saw how much Gui San cared for Lan Wu, the face under the cloak revealed a smile, My apologies, that youngdy cant be send back to Young Master Gui San at the moment, but this one can promise that youngdy wont be harmed as long as Young master Gui San cooperates with us. This one will then give that youngdy back to Master Gui San.
Can you let this young master consider it? Gui San pretended to be troubled. He knew if he agreed too quickly, it will give rise to suspicion. Gui San said worriedly, In this time, this young master doesnt want her hurt, otherwise...
Then this one will wait for Master Gui Sans good news! the man in ck grinned. As long as they had Master Gui Sans soft spot in hand, along with the temptation of power, he trusted this Master Gui San will betray Master Wu Qing; then, it will be easy to take down Wu Qing Pavilion.
Gui San used qinggong to leave the forest. Behind, the men in ck didnt know that not far away, there were several people eyeing them as if eyeing prey, just waiting for the right time to rip them to peices.
Gang master, is this Young Master Gui San trustworthy? one of the men lifted off their hood, asking the leader whos been talking to Gui San.
The one acknowledged as the boss surveyed their surroundings, didnt see any people and took off his hood. Under the hood, was a very ordinary face. The man was roughly thirty years old, nted triangr eyes. His entire person gave people a detestable feeling.
Hu Bao Gang! Lan You Nian murmured as the men in ck lifted their hoods. She really didnt expect such a small gang dared to run wild on Wu Qing Pavilions head. Was Wu Qing Pavilion too quiet recently, so it made the pugilistic people forget Wu Qing Pavilions means?
Hu Bao Gang wasnt a big gang. In the pugilistic world, it was only a second ss power. The previous gang master of Hu Bao Gang was an iron-willed man. In the pugilistic world, he was highly respected. Its a pity that since that gang master passed away and left Hu Bao Gang to his son, the gang has been declining day by day. The current master of Hu Bao Gang is Zhang Han Tie, a man who only knows to scheme but doesnt know hard work. She didnt expect this time they dared to scheme against Wu Qing Pavilion. Lan You Nian didnt know whether to be angry orugh.
Of course we cant trust him! Zhang Han Tie barked inughter, But he doesnt have a choice. His woman is in our hands and I gave him plentiful interest. I dont believe there is someone who wouldnt be tempted. Just as long as he is tempted, just wait for us to snatch Wu Qing Pavilion, there is no need for this Master Gui San to live!
Lan Ren really wanted to shout. Howe theres such stupid people!? But it was such stupid people whove captured their friend, so hateful it makes their teeth itch!
What about that woman? Boss, how should we deal with her? one of the men in ck asked, carrying a hint of worry.
Lets go. We cant let that woman die, otherwise how can we control Young Master Gui San? Zhang Han Tie led his subordinates back to the ce of hiding. Behind, Feng Yi Xuan and the others followed, the closer they got, the weaker their lives be.
After following Zhang Han Tie for a while, they finally arrived at a vige outside the capital. Seeing Zhang Han Tie taking his subordinates into a hut, Lan You Nian and the others flew onto the roof with qinggong and started to look for Lan Wu.
Sure enough, Zhang Han Tie, after returning to their temporary dwelling, headed to the room that Lan Wu was imprisoned in. Lan You Nian slipped off a roof tile and looked down. It was one look that caused Lan You Nians eyes to sh with a treacherous, bloodthirsty darkness.
Inside, Lan Wu was tied to a shelf. There were countless whip marks on her body and her clothes were stained with blood. Lan Wu looked thin and pallid. What infuriated Lan You Nian was that they used chains to prate Lan Wus left hand to tie her there. The blood on her palms was already crusting but every movement will make it hurt even more.
You really are a hard nut to crack. No wonder you obtained Young Master Gui Sans favor! Zhang Han Tie praised. He captured this woman to interrogate her on Wu Qing Pavilions matters but Lan Wu refused to say anything, even when he used torture, she still didnt utter a word.
Lan Wu was awake and conscious. Even if her body hurt, Lan Wu wasnt afraid. She wont betray young miss, wont betray Wu Qing Pavilion. That was her home, the harbor of her soul, the ce she wanted to protect.
But, you will stay here for a while because you wont die. Young master Gui San already agreed! Zhang Han Tie seemed extremely happy but when Lan Wu heard Zhang Han Tie say this, she sneered coldly.
What are youughing at? Zhang Han Tie asked. Lan Wus sneer was too mocking and disdainful, making Zhang Han Tie feel ill at ease.
Chapter 197 - Let’s Talk
Chapter 197 Lets Talk
Me! This was the first time Lan Wu uttered a word since she was kidnapped. Her voice was still slightly hoarse, Imughing because I wont die but you will! Lan Wu knew her young miss wont give up on her. Since this man has seen Gui San, then young miss will definitelye save her.
Slut! Zhang Han Tie, infuriated, wanted to p Lan Wu, but before he could touch Lan Wu, his hand was impaled from behind by Lan You Nian using Lan Rens long sword. She stood in front of Zhang Han Tie, her expression icy, You will die indeed!
Young miss... Lan Wu looked at Lan You Nian, Lan Ren and Lan Feng, as well as Ming wang and An Yi who appeared For some reason, she wanted to cry.
An Yi, for the first time, without soliciting Feng Yi Xuan, came over to Lan Wus side to untie her, but An Yi didnt dare to touch the chains running through her hands. He opened his mouth to say something but couldnt utter a word. He could only coldly stare at Lan Wus hand.
Lan Wu could discern An Yis worry. She thought, this person was usually so cold, forbidding her from doing this and doing that, but she didnt expect that at the crucial moment, he cared so much about her. Thinking this, Lan Wus heart warmed.
Lan You Nian ignored Zhang Han Lin who was rolling on the ground. Coming over to Lan Wus side, she checked the injury on her hands. She knew they must rip the chain out of Lan Wus hand, but it her pain will be doubled.
Lan You Nian patted Lan Wus hair, murmuring softly, Bear with it. Close your eyes.
Lan Wu believed in her young miss and obediently shut her eyes, clenching her teeth. Without blinking an eye, Lan You Nian ripped out the chain, followed by blood, from Lan Wus hand. Lan Wu fainted from the pain. An Yis heart ached and picked up Lan Wu in his arms.
Take her back to You Nian Pavilion. Let Lan Qu bandage her up! Lan You Nian said to An Yi. You Nian Pavilion had all types of quality medicine and Lan Qu was proficient in dressing wounds. Though Lan Wus situation appeared grave, with so many good medicines, recovery was only a matter of time.
An Yi nodded and said, Wangye, wangfei, this subordinate withdraws! Then disappeared from the vige hut.
Only when An Yi carried Lan Wu away did Lan You Nian looked over at Zhang Han Tie, rolling on the ground. The smile on her lips seemed gentle but if you look at it carefully, it didnt contain any warmth. Lan Ren and Lan Feng dragged Zhang Han Tie up as Lan You Nian used the chains that was taken out of Lan Wus hand and spiked it into Zhang Han Ties uninjured hand using inner force. She watched as Zhang Han Tie screamed, begging for mercy, but Lan You Nian remained unmoved.
When Lan You Nian took out her personal dagger to continue with the torture, Feng Yi Xuan covered up Lan You Nians eyes, Nian Nian, its gettingte. Hand it to me alright? He was not feeling empathetic, but he really felt it was gettingte, time for Nian Nian to sleep. Nothing is more important than Nian Nian.
Lan You Nian started and put away her dagger, nodding.
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian nodd, his lips quirking, and picked up Lan You Nian to return to the manor to sleep. To Lan Ren and Lan Feng, he said Take him to Ming wang manor. His torture is waiting there for him!
From then on, Bao Hu Gang would no longer exist, because when Gui San left the forest, he received Lan You Nians message, Eradicate Bao Hu Gang! In the end, not only did Wu Qing Paviliony assault to Hu Bao Gang, even Ghost Realm silently helped eradicate Hu Bao Gang.
When Lan You Nian returned to the manor, she went directly to Lan Wus room. Lan Wu was already asleep, or she had fainted. Her injuries on her hand and body was already taken care of by Lan Qu. Both Lan Qu and An Yi were standing in Lan Wus room, ones eyes were red and the others were cold.
Young miss! Lan Qu noticed Lan You Nian and wiped her blurry eyes, as if she found her pir of strength.
How is she? Lan You Nian came over to Lan Wus bedside and took her pulse and had a rough idea of the situation. Knowing Lan Wu was fine, she sighed in relief.
Its just skin injuries. Its fine!Lan Qu said. Itd be false to say theyve never been injured in all the years theyve been following young miss. Just every month young misss poison rpse was more painful than anything theyve suffered, so they didnt feel any of injuries were painful.
Lan You Nian nodded and said to Lan Qu, You can go rest!
But... Lan Qu wanted to stand guard over Lan Wu; her heart couldnt rest.
Go, hm. Lan You Nian said, ncing at An Yi. Lan Qu instantly understood. Recalling how An Yi carried Lan Wu back, Lan Wu nodded and withdrew.
Can you help look after Lan Wu? Lan You Nian asked. She wasnt very sensitive to feelings, so she still wanted to respect An Yis wishes. If An Yi really had feelings for Lan Wu, itll certainly be more lively from then on.
Many thanks wangfei! An Yi bowed.
Lan You Nian smiled, nodding. It wasnt certain whether this was fortune or misfortune.
Seeing everything was being handled, Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian away to rest. It was already halfway through the night...
~
Three days have passed since Lan Wu was kidnapped. Lan Wus body was much better. Besides her left hand that was a little inconvenient, she was fine. Being at leisure, Lan You Nian took Lan Qu to Ming wang manor. Though Lan You Nian was Feng Yi Xuans fiancee, women of the ancient era are subtle, so Lan You Nian and Lan Qu silently crept into Ming wang manor without anyone knowing.
As soon as Lan You Nian entered Ming wang manor, she noticed Ming wang manors subordinates genuinely grinning at her. Maybe its because of the apple from Christmas Eve that made these people like this wangfei even more, not in fear of wangyes overbearingness, just simple admiration. Amongst these people there were many assassins who wouldnt bat an eysh while on a mission, but at the same time, they possessed the purest hearts.
Wheres Xuan? Lan You Nian asked Uncle Feng who walked beside her.
Wangye hasnt returned yet from the military camp. Should this old ve send someone to call wangye back? Uncle Feng asked. Dont think hes being thoughtless, because in Ming wang manor, from the stewards at the top to the manservants at the bottom, who didnt know that nothing was more important than wangfei. If wangye returned and knew they didnt inform him, who knows how angry hed be?
Lan You Nian shook her head, No need to tell him. Im only here to look around! Lan You Nian knew if Feng Yi Xuan knew she came to Ming wang manor, he will drop everything and hurry back, because it wouldnt be the first time something like this has happened. If this continued, she would really be a cmitous beauty.
Though Lan You Nian normally appeared indifferent and serene, her aura waspelling. So Lan You Nians repute in Ming wang manor, though it cant be said its the same as Feng Yi Xuans, but it measures up to the address of wangfei.
Wheres the person fromst night? Lan You Nian asked An San who was apanying her. Last night, Feng Yi Xuan said hell deal with him, so he was taken away. She trusted Feng Yi Xuan will take care of the matters, but ncing at Lan Wu beside her, she felt Lan Wu should personallye to take a look. Only this way can she vent her fury right?
In the hidden prison. That person is tortured every day by An Yi, really unlucky! An San said, taking joy from the others misfortune. Like wangye, An Yi normally likes to kill in one shot, but this time...An San nced at Lan Wu, sure enough, even the hero bes a prisoner of love!
Lets take a look! Lan You Nian said and the three of them headed towards the hidden prison.
When the three of them arrived at the hidden prison, An Yi was currently torturing Zhang Han Tie. Seeing the three of them enter, An Yi bowed, Wangfei!
Lan You Nian nodded and then looked towards Zhang Han Tie. The palm of his hand was punctured through by Lan You Nian: the chain was now nailed to the wall. The blood of his injuries have already dried. Just with a slight movement, fresh blood would once again gush out from the wounds. His sleeves has already been stained ckish red by the blood. There werent any other injuries on Zhang Han Ties body, but what made the sight ghastly was Zhang Han Ties legs. They couldnt be considered legs any longer, as they werepletely bare, leaving only streaks of blood on the bones.
Lan You Nian saw for herself Feng Yi Xuans ruthless means, but she wasnt afraid of such cruelty, because she, too, was this kind of person.
Lan Wu looked at Zhang Han Tie who was already half-dead. Having followed Lan You Nian all these years, Lan Wu, from feeling afraid from seeing a dead person to remaining expressionless, even if Zhang Han Tie has already be like this, felt no pity. If because of her young miss fell into a difficult spot, she would have killed herself on the spot.
Lan You Nian walked over to Zhang Han Tie, saying, Do you know? Hu Bao Gang is gone. This-is all because of you.
Sure enough, Zhang Han Tie, who was ready to ck-out, upon hearing this news, wanted to rush at Lan You Nian and kill her. The blood from the chains flowed out of his palm, dripping onto the dark, mottled floor. But this couldntpare to the panic in Zhang Han Ties heart. His forces were gone. He has nothing!
You slut! Zhang Han Tie swore at Lan You Nian who smiled like a fairy. He can clearly see Lan You Nians face and knew this girl was the one who cut off his hand. His hatred made Zhang Han Tie reveal the resentment in his heart.
But Zhang Han Tie doesnt know, it was his call of slut that caused him to lose his life.
In the hidden prison, when the three other people heard Zhang Han Tie swearing, they prepared to strike, but the fastest was Lan Wu. She snatched the de hanging on the wall of the hidden prison, directly slicing off Zhang Han Ties head, neatly and cleanly, so nimble it was unlike a womans.
In Lan Wu and their hearts, Lan You Nian was their god. No one was allowed to insult the god in their heart!
An Yi and An San, seeing Lan Wus powerful strike, couldnt help the twitch of their lips. Howe wangfeis people are so mind-blowing! Usually when they look at Lan Wu, they felt she was a care-free girl. Howe when shes ruthless, she doesnt lose to them? How could they know Lan You Nian showed no mercy for her peoples training, so Lan Wu and the others had such tough temperaments.
Seeing the person has died and there was nothing else to y with, she prepared to return to the manor. Usually if she doesnte to Ming wang manor, Feng Yi Xuan wont return until night. She has nothing to do in Ming wang manor, so she left with Lan Wu.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt at the military camp, but at fourth wangye manor...
After getting back from morning court, Feng Xia Qi realized his younger brother was waiting in the manor. Feng Xia Qi was surprised. Feng Yi Xuan was an aloof person; he rarely waited for anyone, so Feng Xia Qi thought something has happened.
AXuan, why are you here? Feng Xia Qi came to the study without changing out of his ministerial robe. Has something happened?
Feng Yi Xuan sat at the the table in the study. There was already a pot of sake and several side dishes on the table. He looked at Feng Xia Qi, his eyes were still indifferent but on closer inspection one would notice the warmth of familial affection. Feng Yi Xuans face was cold, Imperial brother!
Feng Xia Qi was already used to his younger brothers unchanging iceberg face. The two of them-one used a smiling face to disguise himself and the other used an expressionless face to disguise himself. This was the sorrow of life in the imperial family.
Feng Xia Qi thought something important has happened concerning court matters, but ncing at the table of sake, Feng Xia Qi knew his younger brother was here for something else. When hes doing serious work, Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt touch alcohol, even if his drinking capacity is frighteningly good.
Everythings fine at the military camp? Feng Xia Qi sat down, pouring a cup of sake for each one of them, and then found a somewhat dull topic to talk about. You cant count on Feng Yi Xuan to liven up the atmosphere, because Feng Xia Qi has tried to drink with his younger brother but from the start to the end, he didnt utter a single word. So, Feng Xia Qi has learned his lesson. If you wont talk, then hell find something to talk about. Its better than two men sitting across from each other without saying anything.
On Feng Yi Xuans well-defined face, thin lips stiffly pursed as bottomless ck eyes were like the ice in the winter of the Twelth Month. He just stared down at Feng Xia Qi, causing Feng Xia Qis scalp to start feeling numb. He didnt know what did he do to provoke this younger brother of his.
AXuan? Feng Xia Qi swallowed his saliva, slightly speechless as he asked, Whats wrong?
You like Nian Nian! It wasnt a question but an outright certainty. Feng Yi Xuan stated it directly without any forewarning. Though hes been far away at the borders, he was more attentive than anyone when things concerned Nian Nian. So, he knew of Zhen Wei Pavilion catching on fire. He knew of Nian Nian encountered an assassination attempt. He even knew his imperial brothers unusual attitude and actions. He has already confirmed one thing: that is both of them brothers liked the same girl.
Feng Yi Xuan had already decided to discuss this with his imperial brother, but something alwayses up so he hasnt spoken of it. Coincedentally, there was nothing to do at the military camp, so he came to fourth wangye manor toy all his cards on the table. He refused to allow any man to covet his Nian Nian, even if that person was his esteemed imperial brother.
Feng Xia Qis hand holding the wine cup shook. The clear wine in the cup sshed onto Feng Xia Qis slender hands. Feng Xia Qi looked wide-eyed at the cold Feng Yi Xuan opposite him. He wanted to say something but couldnt force out the words. He couldnt deny it, because he did like Lan You Nian. He couldnt lie to others; now he couldnt even lie to his younger brother. Before, he was prepared to bury this secret forever in his heart, until he died of old age. He didnt expect the person he wanted to hide the most from knew him quicker than anyone else.
Feng Xia Qi opened his mouth, as if he used a lot of strength to spit out one word Yes! It wasnt that he couldnt refute, but in his younger brothers eyes, his rebuttal had no meaning.
Imperial brother! Feng Yi Xia poured a cup of wine for Feng Xia Qi, If you liked anything of mine, I am willing to give it to you, but Nian Nian is the girl I want in this life and the next. No one can, do you understand? Feng Yi Xuan stared into Feng Xia Qis eyes, No one, not even you!
Feng Xia Qi knew he cant. He wont do anything to harm his younger brother or harm Lan You Nian. But seeing his younger brother looking so fiercely at him because of a woman, Feng Xia Qi didnt feel well inside.
If... Feng Xia Qi wanted to see if his younger brother truly loved Lan You Nian. He and Yue bai Lian were really simr. They were willing to let go yet they still worried, so they purposefully tested Feng Yi Xuan, only wishing for Lan You Nians happiness.
Feng Xia Qi didnt get to finish his words before he was interrupted by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans voice was hoarse and cruel, as if endless ice caves. He directly said, There is no if. If you want to abandon this brotherly affection, if you want to die!
He, Feng Yi Xuan, has never been a good person. He was aware of what kind of person imperial brother was. Though his words were unreasonable, for him, Nian Nian was the most important. If imperial brother really wanted to fight him for Nian Nian, he didnt mind staining himself with his imperial brothers blood, but he wont really kill his imperial brother.
You... Feng Xia Qi saw, for the first time, Feng Yi Xuans killing intent towards him. Inside, he didnt know whether he should be happy for Lan You Nian or to feel sad for himself, but Feng Xia Qi knew how important Lan You Nian was for his younger brother. He didnt really get angry at Feng Yi Xuan. Some people were simply this tyrannical. He understood!
Feng Xia Qi chuckled in relief, pping Feng Yi Xuans shoulder, and downed a mouthful of wine. The spiciness of the sake nearly choked him, but he stillughed,ughed without restraint.
AXuan, I am your imperial brother. I wont do anything to let you down! Feng Xia Qi stated staunchly, looking at Feng Yi Xuan, I do like Nianer meimei, but I dont want to wreck you twos rtionship, neither will imperial brother allow anyone else to wreck your rtionship! You must be happy, including imperial brothers happiness!
Feng Yi Xuan saw the alchohol was already getting to Feng Xia Qis head but his tone was sincere. Feng Yi Xuan nodded, With Nian Nian by my side, I am very happy! Before, he didnt know what happiness was, but he knew happiness, for him, was Nian Nian.
Thats good! Feng Xia Qi drank every other cup with Feng Yi Xuan, Im preparing to marry Yue countrys Princess Bai Lian!
Imperial brother! Feng Yi Xuan was a little drunk as well. Hearing this news, Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips, Imperial brother, Im sorry! He knew Feng Xia Qis purpose of doing this, but he wont stop him, because Nian Nian cant be given up. Imperial brother needed a woman to marry. Perhaps Yue Bai Lian was the best choice.
No, AXuan, you dont need to feel guilty. This is probably for the best! Feng Xia Qi dropped his mask, smiling gently, In the future, I wont only be your imperial brother, Ill also be her brother. You two must be well. Only this way wont disappoint my intentions right?
Feng Xia Qi, then, drunkenly sprawled on the table. He knew he was evading, like a coward, but in this life, he was destined to be a coward. Some people one cant steal, nor would one be able to steal. These feelings buried deeply in his heart-the only thing he can express was his blessings and protection.
Feng Yi Xuans gaze wasplicated as he regarded Feng Xia Qi who was seemingly drunk. He knew such a wonderful girl like Nian Nian was liked by a lot of people, but he didnt expect his imperial brother to also fall for Nian Nian. On one hand, he was proud for his girl; on the other, he diligently kept on guard. But Feng Yi Xuan knew what kind of person his imperial brother was. Since he admitted to his feelings today, then it meant hes already let go. He would only put Nian Nian in the deepest part of his heart, bing a brother and a friend.
Considering it for a while, Feng Yi Xuan leisurely left fourth wangye manor. He was reassured. His Nian Nian can only be his...
Chapter 198 - New Years Eve Feast
Chapter 198 New Years Eve Feast
The weather in the capital gradually started to get colder. This day was this years New Years Eve. It has even begun to snow. The snowy scenery was beautiful under the cold moon nine days after the winter solstice, incarnating into countless dancing snowkes, treading elegant steps descending into a corner of the world. That immortal pine tree, too, was moved by the sparkling crystals, scattering it with ayer of silvery white. On the ground was a white, plump snowman, suspiciously eyeing its beady eyes at the tree tops with the ice flowers glistening under the sun. The entire world seemed to have entered a world of snowy white.
Lan You Nian has already waken up. There were many things to do this day. In the afternoon, all the ministerial officials would be taking their children to the imperial pce to attend the New Yearss Eve Feast and return at night to celebrate the New Year. Feng Yi Xuan woke up a lot earlier and has already left You Nian Pavilion. A wangye, especially a wangye holding real power in his hands, wasnt so rxed. This days New Years Eve, Feng Yi Xuan not only had to attend the New Years Eve Feast at the pce, he had to show up at the military camp to see those soldiers.
Young miss, youre awake? Lan Wu and Lan Qu stood outside, inquiring. Its all because of Ming wangs presence, theyve formed a habit of no longer daring to barge into young misss boudoir carelessly, as they did before. Ming wang already left, so they finally have the chance to serve young miss.
Lan You Nian nced to the side of the bed that was missing Feng Yi Xuan and sighed helplessly. She noticed she seemed to be more and more clingy. She really didnt know whether this was good or bad.
Come in! Lan You Nian said and then climbed out from the warm nket. By the bed, her clothes for that day was already set out. She really didnt know how Feng Yi Xuan could be so attentive. No matter how busy, he will always take care of her.
Lan Wu and Lan Qu carried hot water in. One of them went to the bed to tidy up the room and the other assisted Lan You Nian with her outfit and makeup.
Young miss, it looks like Ming wang has already picked todays headdress! Lan Qu teased, noting the headdress arranged on the dressing table. Ming wang was meticulous taking care of young miss. He even thought of such a trivial matter.
Lan You Nian smiled, nodding. The clothes and such things Feng Yi Xuan prepared for her were all the best. If he wasnt busy, he would wait for her to wake and help her dress and do her hair. Even if he was busy and needed to wake early, he will prepare everything. He was extremely good to her.
Lan You Nian looked at an exquisite box on the dressing table. Lan You Nian opened it. Inside was the hairpin Feng Yi Xuan made personally, emitting a captivating fragrant. Feng Yi Xuan always wanted her to wear it, but Lan You Nian couldnt bear to. She knew if she wore it every day, Feng Yi Xuan will probably go carve another one. She couldnt bear to let him use the his swordsman hands to do these things. One was enough. It was enough for her to be aware of his sincerity.
Lan Qu also saw her young miss take out the hairpin Ming wang made and giggled. Lan Qu couldnt help saying excitedly, Ming wang treats young miss so well!
Lan You Nian put the hairpin away and poked Lan Qus forehead, Doesnt Lan Ren treat you well? Dont think she didnt see the two of them flirting with each other. Privately, Lan Rens eyeballs when looking at Lan Qu emitted a bright light.
Young miss! Lan Qu eximed bashfully. As a shadow guard and maidservant, they werent supposed to marry, but it was wonderful to have such fortune.
Lan You Nian eyed the people beside her. They will all receive their own happiness. Lan You Nian truly felt happy for them. Her only regret is that they wont have children. As shadow guards and personal maidservants, they will be fed medicine from the very start, losing the ability to bear children. Only this way could they expend all efforts to do their masters bidding. When they followed her, she didnt let them drink that medicine, but they privately drank that sterilizing drug, so they wont be able to have children, just like any other shadow guard and personal maidservant.
Though they couldnt have children, whether it was Lan Qu or any one of them, none of them regretted their choice. Though they wont have their own children, they will have little masters. They strived harder for young miss; they were already happy.
Is Nianer meimei ready? Hua Mu Qing shouted from down the pavilion. Ever since Hua Mu Qing married Lan Mo Xian, the rtionship between the two of them became better and better. Hua Mu Qing learned to manage Lan manors affairs while Lan Mo Xian followed his fathers footsteps, busying in the military camp. When Hua Mu Qing had nothing to do, she would always run over to You Nian Pavilion every two to three days, clinging to Lan You Nian even more than she clung to Lan Mo Xian.
Ready! Lan You Nian said and casually ate some breakfast before walking down the pavilion.
In You Nian Pavilions courtyard, Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian were waiting. It had to be said Hua Mu Qing was a filial girl. Towards Lan Jian Jun, she was filial as towards her own father. Towards Lan You Nian, she treated her like a little sister. Lan manor has be more convivial.
Nianer meimei, you are stunning! It wouldnt be an overstatement to call you the worlds number one beauty! Hua Mu Qing circled around Lan You Nian. Not far away, Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian nodded in agreement.
Ming wang is so fortunate! Lan Mo Xian mumbled, depressed. His little sister is still so little yet shes already caught Ming wangs eye and has be engaged. He didnt know whether he should say Ming wang had good taste or Nianer meimei was destined to meet Ming wang.
Of course, whoever marries Nianer, their ancestors must have burned incense to Buddha! Lan Jian Jun stated proudly and thought, Ming wangs ancestors seemed all to be ancestors of the imperial family. Lan Jian Junughed dryly and didnt say any more; otherwise, he cant guarantee he wouldnt say something treasonous.
The New Years Eve Feast was being held in one of the imperial pces pce. Lan You Nian followed the crowd to a grand hall. This grand hall was made of white jade. The roof of the hall was very high, requiring countlessrge white columns to support it. The columns were carved with simple but elegant patterns, iid with countlessrge glow-in-the dark pearls and countless colorful jewels. The hall was rendered in simple tones, not too magnificent, but it added a certain style.
When Lan You Nian arrived, there werent many people. Lan You Nian sat very low-key by Lan Jian Jun, acting out the role of an obedient and dutiful legitimate daughter. Though many peoples eyes pursued her when she came in, with her identity ced before them, not many people came to look for trouble with her.
Among the seats, there was a woman who used a vicious gaze to look at her. Lan You Nian cast her eyes and saw An Si Yans eyes. Thats right, she let An manor lose two legitimate sons, but if An manor didnt plot against her, she really didnt have the leisure time to use their tricks against them.
In a moment, the wangye all arrived at the grand hall. Currently, the imperial pce was without a princess. Lan You Nian felt she was a little immoral. Even the youngest seventh wangye Feng Ling Ji who wasnt usually seen also came. Lan You Nian didnt have a deep impression of this seventh wangye. He didnt attend many of the banquets. She didnt know if it was truly not caring for court matters or disguising too well.
Announcing His Majesty the Emperor! Her Majesty Empress Dowager! Her Majesty the Empress! a eunuch raised his voice, eximing. All the people in the hall rose and knelt in ceremony.
Leave the formalities! Emperor Feng Xuan said smiling. Everyone rose. In the grand hall, only Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian didnt have to kneel. They only needed to learn over to bow.
This was the first time Lan You Nian saw the Dowager Empress. Whether big or small, this Empress Dowager never attended. All matters of the imperial harem was handled by the Empress. This Empress Dowager wasnt the Emperors biological mother but she was the one to assist the Emperor onto the throne, so after the Emperor ascended the throne, he conferred her the title of Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was over fifty years old. She wore a dark brown upper garment with flower clusters and gold embroidering, a brown pleated skirt, the edges were bordered with golden chrysanthemums. Her hair wasbed without a single hair out of ce. Her entire person seemed severe and dignified, with some degree of a noble demeanor. Just sitting there, she had the dignity of a Dowager Empress.
But what surprised Lan You Nian was the girl beside the Dowager Empress, looking quite familiar but Lan You Nian couldnt remember. Concerning some unimportant people, Lan You Nian never remembered them. Lan You Nian knew she has seen this girl but shes forgotten when and where.
Beside the Dowager Empress stod a girl wearing a light green long dress with peacock green feathers. Both hands supported the Dowager Empress. A pair of beautiful wide eyes scanned the pce. Her hair was done into a fallen horse hairstyle low on her head, leaving two locks of hair flirtatiously hanging down from both sides of her cheeks. The loose bun was inserted with gilt flower and bead buyao, dangling with a string of amber. As she walked, her posture was lissome and graceful, looking charming and elegant without losing dignity. Four pce maids followed closely behind, separating to two sides, appearing to have some demeanor of a princess, but Lan You Nian was certain there wasnt such a woman in the pce.
That girl assessed the entire banquet and her eyes suddenly lit up. Lan You Nian followed her line of sight and her eyesnded on Feng Yi Xuan. Those eyes were filled with love and obsession, causing Lan You Nian to feel ufortable inside. She had to admit she was jealous. But from start to end, Feng Yi Xuan hasnt spared that girl a nce. This let Lan You Nian feel a little better inside.
Lan You Nian lowered her head, considering. finally, she remembered why this girl looked so familiar. Wasnt this the girl she and Feng Yi Xuan encountered when they encountered bandits? From the outset, that girl fell in love at first sight wit Feng Yi Xuan. She didnt expect to meet again here. Lan You Nian nced at the girl beside the Dowager Empress. She better be smart and not have any ideas on Feng Yi Xuan; otherwise, there will be one less pretty girl in this world.
Speaking of the New Years Eve Feast, it was only all the ministers sitting together eating and appreciating song and dance, the Emperor saying some words that tempered justice with mercy. Lan You Nian was already used to such banquets, not like before when she couldnt sit still.
Imperial Father! Feng Xia Qi put down the teacup in his hand and faced Emperor Feng Xuan, This subject-son has a woman I admire, asking Imperial Father to grant my wish!
Emperor Feng Xuans expression, upon hearing this, became more joyous. His two sons marriage gave him the most headaches. Old sixths marriage was already settled, just waiting for Lan manors legitimate daughter to reach maturity to perform the marriage. This old fourth hasnt showed any movement, making him consider directly decreeing a marriage. But now old fourth has someone he liked, that was good too; it saved it from wrecking himself with anxiety.
Oh? Which familys youngdy is it? Emperor Feng Xuan asked, his eyes sweeping over the daughters of the officials. All of the women blushed pink, yearning for fourth wangye to pick them.
Feng Xia Qi wore a ck brocade robe embroidered with golden bamboo, emitting a noble and elegant bearing as he gracefully walked to the middle of the hall. He nced at the gazes of all present, his handsome face revealed a faint smile, and then amongst the many womens longing gazes, he said firmly, Subject-son admires Princess Bai Lian. I wish to marry Princess Bai Lian as this subject-sons official consort!
Yue Bai Lian knew what was going to happen the moment Feng Xia Qi asked for a marriage decree. She wasnt happy, nor was she disappointed. She looked at Feng Xia Qi and felt if she was together with this man in this life, it was a good thing.
The women looked at Yue Bai Lian with envy. They didnt expect the one to catch fourth wangyes eye was a foreign princess, but Emperor Feng Xuan was happy. This Princess Bai Lian, from what the Emperor can tell, has a noble demeanor. Should old fourth ascend the throne, Princess Bai Lian would be a good mother of a country.
Emperor Feng Xuan chuckled, Has Princess Bai Lian taken a liking to this emperors fourth son? Feng Xuan asked this as merely a formality. Yue Bai Lian wasnt Feng countrys woman but Yue countrys princess. He, as the Emperor, still needed to inquire after Yue Bai Lians wishes.
Yue Bai Lian rose. She wore a pink rose tightly fit upper garment, underneath was an emerald green floral skirt.
Around her waist was a gold-threaded brocade waistband that tied into arge butterfly bow. Her hair hung low and was inserted with jasper and phoenix hairpins, making her posture slender and captivating. Yue Bai Lian stood beside Feng Xia Qi and curtsied, her voice clear,To be able to marry fourth wangye is this girls honor!
Not this princess but this girl already represented Yue Bai Lians meaning. She would be Feng countrys citizen, Feng Xia Qis official consort, not Yue countrys princess.
How could Emperor Feng Xuan not discern Yue Bai Lians meaning, and regarded this girl even more highly. One who understands their situation was a great man.
Excellent! Emperor Feng Xuan picked up the wine cup on the table, taking a sip, Then today this emperor decrees Yue countrys Princess Bai Lian to be fourth wangye Feng Xia Qis official wife. The two countries booklets will be sent to Yue country shortly!
Congratte Your Majesty, Congratte fourth wangye! Many of the officials shamelessly ttered.
Chapter 199 - 199 Face-slapped Yu Qing
199 Face-pped Yu Qing
secretdreamwishes
At this moment, the Empress Dowagers voice sounded, her voice aged and severe, Since old fourth has already been decreed marriage, then aijia will also look for an ideal husband for aijias little grandniece.
Grandaunt! the girl bashfully stomped her feet, but her gaze kept flickering onto Feng Yi Xuan.
So this is Imperial Mothers grandniece? Its been many years. Shes all grown up now! Emperor Feng Xuan smiled at the girl but didnt mention the matter of finding a husband for her. This girls line of sight keptnding on old sixth. Emperor Feng Xuan didnt want to be the bad guy.
This girl Yu Qing pays respects to Your Majesty! Yu Qing curtsied.
Lan You Nian only now just remembered this girl was called Yu Qing. She didnt expect this Yu Qing to have such an identity, as the Empress Dowagers grandniece. From the looks of it, the Empress Dowager appears to like this Yu Qing very much; otherwise, she wont mention such a thing.
The Emperor smilingly said some idle discourse and didnt say anything else, making Yu Qing a little anxious. Since the day she encountered the bandits and met that man, her whole heart was lost. But she didnt know who this man was. She longed to meet this man, but she didnt expect to see the legendary Ming wang when she arrived at the capital. And this Ming wang was that man she met. Yu Qing felt the Heavens really favored her, letting her meet this man again.
She carefully inquired into everything about Ming wang and learned he already had a woman he loved and vowed to only have one wife in his life! Yu Qing was very much, but afterwards, she was reluctant to give up. Why must such a handsome man be monopolized by one woman? It must be because this woman was a jealous woman! As long as she married Ming wang, Ming wang will see her good. Then, shell be able to punish that woman who looked down on her that day. Shell be able to be Ming wangfei.
So Yu Qing, in the name of the n, used paid a visit to the Empress Dowager who came out of their n. She took pains to please the Empress Dowager. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager liked her very much. Now that shes mentioned this today, she can definitely marry Ming wang!
Yu Qing, today there are many young talents here. If Yu Qing has a man you like, aijia will decree a marriage for you! the Empress Dowager said benevolently to Yu Qing.
Hearing the Empress Dowagers words, Yu Qings face turned red, bing charming and tender, which made many of the young masters give rise to a desire to possess her. Yu Qings identity was that of a young miss of a prominent family, as well as having the Empress Dowagers deep favor. Her looks were also umonly good. Most men loved beauties. More or less, many of them wanted to attract Yu Qings attention. But Yu Qing only timidly peered at Feng Yi Xuan.
Yu Qings gaze was too obvious. How can the Empress Dowager not notice the adoring gaze shot at Feng Yi Xuan? She didnt expect her grandniece to fancy Ming wang who everyone was afraid of. The Dowager Empress was aware this Ming wang already has an official consort. Yu Qing was her ns legitimate daughter; how can she be a concubine?
Alright, you dont need to serve aijia. Go sit with the other young misses! The Dowager Empress said and had Yu Qing take her seat. Yu Qing has been very respectful as she served the Dowager Empress while she was eating, which more or less gave the Dowager Empress a good impression of her.
Yu Qing saw the Dowager Empress didnt mention the marriage decree and became anxious. She knew she didnt have a lot of opportunities. If she cant marry Ming wang, its unlikely shell have anymore chances. Yu Qing considered her beauty and background. How can it notpare to General Manors legitimate daughter who only knows how to y music and sing?
Yu Qing suddenly knelt on the floor, saying to the Dowager Empress and Emperor, Your Majesty Dowager Empress, Your Majesty Emperor, this girl has someone I admire. I ask the Empress Dowager and His Majesty to grant! Yu Qings legs were actually shaking as she knelt. She was afraid, but she wasnt willing to give up. Looking at Ming wang who appears as his own scenery, she wanted to be the woman of such a kingly man like Ming wang.
Yu Qings words shocked many people. Though Feng countrys folk customs wasnt so feudal, there were women whove asked for a marriage decree, but the man Yu Qing fancied wasnt an ordinary young master of a prominent n. It was the famous Ming wang. There was much food for thought.
Though the Dowager Empress was displeased by Yu Qings actions, with one nce at Feng Yi Xuan, she didnt oppose her. For the Dowager Empress, its a good thing if Yu Qing can marry Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan held real power in his hand. If Yu Qing was able to obtain Feng Yi Xuans love, it would be a great help to their n.
The first reaction of Lan Jian Jun and the others was to sneak a look at Lan You Nian, afraid Lan You Nian would be upset from hearing this. Though they believed Feng Yi Xuan definitely wont marry that woman, what if His Majesty really sent down an imperial decree?
A faint smile that cut to the bones bloomed on Lan You Nians lips. Her jade hands cupped the teacup as she took a sip, as if the man Yu Qing said she wanted to marry wasnt her own future husband. From start to end, she didnt show any anger or panic.ҷ緶һࡣ
Feng Yi Xuan didnt even spare Yu Qing a side nce. His gaze was either on the cup of wine in his hand or on Lan You Nian. When he heard Yu Qings words, he nced at Lan You Nian. When he didnt see any jealousy on Nian Nians face, Feng Yi Xuans mood darkened.
Old sixth already has a principal consort. He even said he will only have one wife! Emperor Feng Xuan dropped the smile on his face. His previously good mood has been ruined by this insensible girl. The Emperor felt old fourth and old sixth eyes were exceptional. A girl like Yu Qing was simply not likeable.
Hearing this, Yu Qing already started to weep. Yu Qing had pretty good looks, willowy and umber eyebrows, a pair of eyes misty as smoke, a pert nose, and lips as red as cherry blossoms, full of an ancient vor, especially when she cries. Its a pity there was no man here who had a tender heart for the fairer sex. No one said anything. This made Yu Qing even more contemptible as the flustered and brainless Yu Qing started to ask for help from Lan You Nian.
Yu Qing said to Lan You Nian, Miss Lan, I truly admire Ming wang. I dont ask for status or anything else. I only ask to stay by Ming wangs side. Since ancient times, men are allowed multiple wives and concubines. Why is Miss Lan so overbearing?
Though Yu Qings words were rude, everyone felt her words were reasonable. Ming wangs practice of only marrying one woman made a lot of the women envious. Many officials wanted to stuff their daughters into Ming wang Manor to ingratiate themselves with Ming wang, yet Lan You Nian monopolized the spot. So there were many people who were displeased with Lan You Nian. However, because of the defense of the people behind Lan You Nian, no one dared to be the lead bird. With Yu Qings words, they all silently nodded in agreement.
Hearing someone else saying bad things about Nian Nian, his aura became cold and sharp as violent as des in the winter. He was already considering how to kill Yu Qing.
Meanwhile, Lan Jian Jun, Feng Xia Qi, and the others eyes leaked out malicious intent, like sharp-edged swords shooting at Yu Qing, hating they couldnt throw Yu Qing out of the grand hall.
Lan You Nian stood, looking at Yu Qing who seemed to be begging her but was actually pushing her under criticism. Lan You Nian didnt at all care these tricks that were mere childs y to her, but since she dared to covet her man, then she wont keep her silence.
Does this youngdy know what day it is today? Lan You Nian stood before her seat, the teacup still in her hand.
New Years Eve! Yu Qing answered, her eyes showed scorn for Lan You Nian but in order to marry Ming wang, she still pretended to be afraid as she looked at Lan You Nian.
How can Lan You Nian not discern the scorn and plotting in Yu Qings eyes? Lan You Nian wasnt interested in sparing such a woman one more look. Even such a woman dared to covet Feng Yi Xuan? She really didnt know where Yu Qing got her self-confidence.
Since you know this is the New Years Eve banquet, yet this youngdy weeps and wails, is this purposefully making trouble for everyone on such a good festival? Lan You Nians voice was soft and delicate, like the drizzle on the West Lake in the sixth month, dripping onto lotus leaves, but the meaning behind the words muted Yu Qing.
The Empress Dowager, seeing Lan You Nian bullying Yu Qing, was displeased. In the Empress Dowagers eyes, even if Yu Qing was in the wrong, for the sake that she is her grandniece, Lan You Nian should yield. The Empress Dowager has been in a high position for many years and is already used to people respecting her. Seeing Lan You Nians actions, she already grew a grudge against Lan You Nian.
I...Yu Qing fearfully looked at the Emperor who already appeared displeased, I only admire Ming wang. Miss Lan please grant my wish!
Lan You Nian stared at Yu Qing who was still refusing to give up and felt ufortable inside. Though Feng Yi Xuan didnt have any thoughts about her, she was equally unhappy with other peoples thoughts about her man.
A faint smile hung on Lan You Nians lips, both soft and beautiful, but that smile didnt reach her eyes. Her eyes were empty. Her entire body permeated an indifference that made her unapproachable. She said smiling, This girl doesnt understand what this youngdy is saying. Since you admire Ming wang, why are you asking me when you should be asking Ming wang? And this youngdy says to grant your wish. What is my identity that I must grant your wish?
Yes, why is thisdys words so strange? Feng Xia Qi said, Nianer meimei is Ming wangs official wife. This marriage is decreed by imperial decree. Howe thisdy appears so aggrieved? Those who dont know would think you are the official consort!
Feng Xia Qis straightforward words made Yu Qings face be deathly pale. Even the Dowager Empress looked down at them at displeasure.
Yu Qing, though Ming wang is good, but there are many handsome men in the world. Youre still young... The Empress found an out for Yu Qing. A still young erased all the unreasonable things Yu Qing did.
Every perons heart is biased, just like the Dowager Empress. Even if Yu Qings actions were inappropriate, the Dowager Empress still believed it was Lan You Nians fault. But Lan Jian Jun and the others felt no matter how Lan You Nian humiliated Yu Qing, she was in the right. They all supported her. So there was no rationality, but each had their own bias.
Grandaunt... Yu Qing looked at the Dowager Empress, murmuring prettily,Ming wang saved this girl once. Ever since then, this girl has admired Ming wang. This girl doesnt ask for the position of main consort. I only ask to stay by Ming wangs side.
Such an deeply affectionate confession! If a normal man encountered such a infatuated girl who doesnt ask for any status, he would have epted her long ago. But Feng Yi Xuan only felt disgust as if he just ate a fly. His everything belonged to Nian Nian. Whether it was body, reputation, or spirit, it all belonged to Nian Nian. Other people are not allowed to even think about coveting him!
You said this prince saved you? A voice that was cold as ice and equally fearsome spit out from Feng Yi Xuans mouth.
Yu Qing stared infatuatedly at Feng Yi Xuan. This mans voice was simrly pleasant to the ears. Yu Qing nodded, her face red, This girl encountered bandits once. It was Ming wang who saved this girl. This girl..
Hearing this, Lan Jian Jun was displeased with Feng Yi Xuan. Before he could stand up, he was held back by Lan You Nian. Seeing his daughter didnt seem angry, Lan Jian Jun sat back down. If this Ming wang dared to bully Nianer, even if he must bear the criminal charge of treason, he wont let his daughter marry him.
Are you certain? Feng Yi Xuan leisurely opened his eyes, looking at Yu Qing, revealing the pair of eyes as still as deep pools, carrying a dark and dangerous cold light.
This girl is certain! Yu Qing nodded her head fearfully. For some reason, this man gave people a dangerous feeling.
Bam! Feng Yi Xuan flung the wine cup in his hand at Yu Qing. Because it wasnt the right time to kill someone, Feng Yi Xuans cup mmed into Yu Qings forehead, making it bleed. Everyone stared in shock and suddenly remembered the person sitting there was the Ming wang possessing a sporadic personality.
Outrageous! You dare to lie in front of this prince! Feng Yi Xuans spoke before the Empress Dowager couldment, The person who saved you was Nian Nian. Is there a problem with your eyes? If your eyes cant see who your savior is, this prince doesnt mind helping you change a pair!
Change a pair? Isnt that digging out her eyes? Yu Qing gaped fearfully at Feng Yi Xuan, afraid and glum at the same time. Why is Ming wang so cruel to her but so gentle towards that Lan You Nian? So gentle it filled her with hatred and jealousy.
Yes, yes, its Miss Lan! Yu Qing wept under Feng Yi Xuans gaze.
Once this was said, Hua Mu Qing was the first person not able to sit still. She looked at Yu Qing with contempt, Isnt this returning kindness with ingratitude? This is the first time this junzhu has seen this kind of woman. Youve really open my eyes!
At this, everyone became displeased with Yu Qing. Its fine if you admire someone; its human nature, but the one you admire is your saviors fianc. This was hardly justifiable.
Enough! the Dowager Empress snapped. No one dared to make a sound. As a noble prince, is having a few side consorts such a difficult thing? Is Lan manors girl not allowing it? Though the Empress Dowager was angry at Yu Qing, but if Yu Qing lost face today, it counts as her, the noble Dowager Empress, losing face. How can she allow this?
Lan You Nian respectfully stood, walking over to the center of the hall, and curtsied. Lan You Nians inky-ck hair was silky and glossy as silk, twisted into a delicate hibiscus hairstyle*, diagonally inserted with a simple white jade hairpin. Under the hairpin, on the right and left side was a pair of emerald beads and coral buyao* which added a hint of elegance. The vibrant red beads that dangled on the sides by her ears swayed with her footsteps, graceful and charming, matching the ruby earrings hanging from her tender white ears.
At first, everyone felt Yu Qing had a pretty face but once Lan You Nian stood beside Yu Qing, they all automatically forgot about Yu Qing. There was actually such pretty little thing. That cold and noble bearing, matched with her delicate and petite appearance, made her seem like a forest spirit, at the same time possessing a fairy-like elegance and nobility.
Your Majesty Dowager Empress misunderstands. Since thisdy wants to enter Ming wangs manor, shouldnt she ask the prince? Lan You Nian replied, neither meekly or pertly.
The Empress Dowager was choked by Lan You Nians words and shot her a harsh re; then, she said to Ming wang, What does Xuaner say? For a prince to have only one consort, isnt that a joke?
Feng Yi Xuan stood, walking over to Lan You Nians side, his face was aristocratic and handsome with a noble bearing, making people unconsciously want to bow down and worship. He stared down all the people present, Since this prince said I will only marry Nian Nian, that that is this princes intent! My, Feng Yi Xuans, wife is Lan You Nian and will only be Lan You Nian!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt spare the Dowager Empress a nce as he pulled Lan You Nian back to her seat, while he, the noble prince, actually sat in the seat right below hers, making everyone see Feng Yi Xuans indulgence towards Lan You Nian.
If this unreasonable person was anyone else, they would be punished, but because it was Feng Yi Xuan, no one dared to utter a word. They just silently watched Feng Yi Xuan stuff food into Lan You Nians te while Yu Qing was forgotten by everyone. No one asked about the wound on her forehead. It was the Dowager Empress who asked for the Imperial Physician to take a look at her.
The Empress Dowagers face turned ugly seeing Feng Yi Xuan pping her face and Lan You Niansck of respect. The New Years Eve Feast ended quickly...
Chapter 200 - Reunion Dinner
Chapter 200 Reunion Dinner
After attending the New Years Eve Banquet at the pce, everyone departed from the imperial pce and headed towards Lan manor, because theyve all decided on spending New Years Eve together. Though this suggestion was rejected by Feng Yi Xuan because he wanted to spend New Years Eve with just Lan You Nian, in the end, Lan You Nian agreed to it, so....
Tonights Lan manor was particrly lively. Uncle Lan has already ordered the kitchen to make plenty of dishes. Seeing one carriage after another stopping in front of Lan manors gates, Uncle Lan stood at the doors formally greeting all the noble personages. Its doubtful that any other family would have so many noble personages over for New Years Eve.
You guys go sit down. Im going to pick up grandfather and his family! Lan You Nian said and then saw He Chu Yang riding his steed over to Lan manors doors. Because He manor didnt attend the New Years Eve Banquet, Lan You Nian wanted to bring everyone over to spend the New Years together.
In the past, the Medical Valley didnt celebrate New Years Eve. Lan You Nian felt it was because shifu had an unhappy past, so she would remind Gui Yi Zi on the day of the New Year and the senior brothers will return to the Medical Valley to apany shifu.
Cousin-brother, I was just saying that I was going to He manor to pick up grandfather! Lan You Nian beamed.
No need! He Chu Yang jumped of the horse and said, Grandfather, Father and Mother is celebrating New Years Eve at the manor. You know grandfather that stubborn old man cant be persuaded. Besides, its too cold; it wont be convenient for grandfather toe out. Hes fine with father and mother apanying him!
Lan You Nian thought thats right. Tutor He was already up in age. With the cold weather and ground frozen, if she were to bring grandfather out, it would be bad for his health.
Nianer meimei, I heard you have collected several jugs of good wine. How about bringing it out tonight! Feng Xia Qi said thirsting for a taste. With this, everyone had their eyes on Lan You Nian. Though it was in the afternoon, Lan You Nian could already see the brightness in their eyes.
Lan You Nian didnt answer. She left everyones stomach hanging. Once youve had a taste of the wine Lan You Nian has made, you will be obsessed with it. Even Lan Jian Jun looked curiously at his daughter. Usually, he couldnt drink but it was alright to have some during the eve of the new year.
Upon entering You Nian Pavilion, they noticed the courtyard has beenpletely renovated. All around the courtyard, there hung many festive red cute little animalnterns of all kinds. Hua Mu Qing and Yue Bai Lian were instantly won over by Lan Qus craftsmanship.
Did you make this yourself? Hua Mu Qing picked up a little rabbitntern, asking Lan Qu with surprise.
Lan Qu smiled as she arranged arge table in You Nian Pavilions courtyard,I did make these but it was young misss idea!
Wow! Yu Liu Li used qinggong to take off antern hanging from high up, studying it left and right, and eximed, How is it so exquisite? Nianer meimei, youre born to be a hit to peoples pride!
Lan You Nian felt a headacheing seeing thentern being taken down. As soon as Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nians troubled expression, his countenance froze over, staring at the person who took thentern down, Put it back!
At first, everyone felt cold, not knowing why, but when they saw Feng Yi Xuans expression, they instantly understood. Instantly, they all hung thenterns back. Here, the person they were most afraid of was Feng Yi Xuan who was giving off a cold air.
Nianer, how about bringing out the wine? To celebrate my engagement with fourth wangye? Yue Bai Lian, under Feng Xia Qis urgings, asked Lan You Nian in embarrassment.
Yeah, such good wine would be wasted if its not drunk! Jing Wu An joined in the fun.
Its not the best! Lan Wu said after arranging the chairs about the table, Last time, the wine young miss especially made for Ming wang is the best. It wouldnt be exaggerated to say that the fragrance wafted for miles! Lan Wu was aware of how much effort young miss spent on making that jar of wine. Even when Gui Yi Zi came to ask for it, she didnt give it to him. Unexpectedly, she gave it to Ming wang.
With Lan Wus words, everyones eyesnded on Feng Yi Xuan, Lan Jian Jun was no exception. They were all jealous and wanted to drink wine, resenting they couldnt run over to Ming wang manor right now to steal that jar of wine; the premise is they had the guts to suffer Feng Yi Xuans wrath.
Feng Yi Xuans eyebrows raised hearing Lan Wus words, his eyes shing with humor as he looked at the others, What?
No-Nothing! He Chu Yang was the first to take a few steps back in fear and then Lan Mo Xuan followed suit, leaving Feng Xia Qi standing there looking at Feng Yi Xuan.
AXuan, since the wine is so good, you cant pocket it yourself! Feng Xia Qi tried to reason with him.
Nian Nian gave it to me! Feng Xia Qi stated without sparing Feng Xia Qi a nce.
Feng Xia Qi was about to back off when Jing Wu An shot him an encouraging look. Feng Xia Qi persisted, Good wine is even more aromatic when it is shared! Isnt it dull drinking it by yourself in Ming wang manor?
Feng Yi Xuan sat beside Lan You Nian, ying with Lan You Nians delicate, seemingly boneless hands, I have Nian Nian apanying me!
Pu! Feng Xia Qi felt he was about to vomit blood. Howe his younger brother was so stingy? Was it difficult to share some wine? Everyone else red indignantly at Feng Yi Xuan. Those who refused to share their foot with others were the most hateful.
Lan You Nian burst intoughter seeing their expressions. Feng Yi Xuan, seeing Lan You Nianughing joyously, felt happy as well. Though he didnt what he should be happy about, Feng Yi Xuan liked this feeling. He liked having Nian Nian by his side. He liked Nian Nian having a carefree smile.
Alright alright Lan You Nian grinned at Lan Feng, Bring out those jars of wine. Theres no need to be reserved tonight. You guys sit. Lets eat a reunion dinner. Tell Zhang Lin them not to stand guard anymore and eat with us!
Hearing this, Lan Qu and the others called the others to eat. An Yi and the others were also present. Though Lan Qu them were already used to eating at the same table with their master, there were still many people who werent ustomed to it. So, they carried anotherrge table into You Nian Pavilion, so the masters sat at one table while the subordinates sat in another.
Because there was still some time before that nights reunion dinner, itd be dull to sit there doing nothing, Lan You Nian had Lan Qu bring out her zither. Its been quite a long time since theyve listened to Lan You Nian y the zither and sing, so they were highly looking forward to it.
Gentle Water Zither! Feng Xia Qi eximed in surprise when he saw the zither that was ced on the table. He didnt expect his younger brother to even give this to Lan You Nian. Its probably been given away quite awhile ago. He really didnt know what to say about his younger brother anymore.
What do you want to listen to? Lan You Nian sat by the Gentle Water Zither, faintly smiling, as misty as a fairy.
Nianer meimei, you dont know that your song is priceless outside. We dont dare to request for anything! Jing Wu An chuckled. With Lan You Nians identity as Miss Miao Yin there, she no longer goes to perform at Zhen Wei Pavilion, so there were many people who wanted to listen but considering her identity as Lan manors legitimate daughter, they didnt dare say anything.
Lan You Nian nced at Feng Yi Xuan. She, a white and exquisite face, bright as the autumn moon, a powdered beauty, starry eyes gazing around charmingly, tickling peoples hearts, ardent red lips, parted slightly, exposing her teeth that were white as shells.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shined, his eyes were like moonlight as it brimmed with affection. His attention was focused on Lan You Nian, his eyes soft as if water can be squeezed out of it.
White hands moved, the music rose, a song began...
Chapter 201 - The Coveter’s Ending
201 The Coveters Ending
The sun on the morning of winter slowly rose up. The sky turned into a colorful, magnificent world. Cottony clouds shed with golden-red brilliance. The dazzling red rose slowly, and for an instant, thousands of golden light lit up the sky pink clouds and a rainbow. Early morning in the winter was quiet. Clear and sweet birdsong rang through Ming wang manor. The air was fresh and flowing with a floral scent, refreshing ones heart. Such a beautiful morning gave people a serene feeling.
Feng Yi Xuan woke up a while ago. Gazing at Nian Nian sleeping in arms, his heart was full. Recallingst nights intimacy, Feng Yi Xuan felt his body starting to stir. Because of his consideration for Nian Nians tiny body, hes been very attentive since the night he had Nian Nian help him, not allowing his desire to frighten off the girl in his arms. Butst night the alcohol rushed to his head, paired with being in the bathing pool, plus Nian Nian was touched, he lost control as he kissed her. In the end, he had Nian Nian use her hands to solve his desire.
Feng Yi Xua massaged Lan You Nians small hands under the nkets. Remembering Nian Nians red teary eyes from being kissed, Feng Yi Xuans lips curled upwards. Ever since thest time he learned of the magic of Nian Nians small hands, it took a while for him toest night in the pool. Though he felt good, after the fact, looking at Nian Nians red hands, Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart ache. He was really afraid he will be unable to stop himself taking Nian Nian one day.
Lan You Nian opened her eyes, dazed. Her big eyes were dazed, blinking like a cute thing. Then, looking at her hands that were being massaged, Lan You Nians cheeks flushed red. Lifting her head, she shot a re at Feng Yi Xuan, very angrily saying, Pervert!
Feng Yi Xuan choked. Recallingst night carefully, it appears he pressured Nian Nian into using her hands to help him. But Feng Yi Xuan will not confess to being a pervert. He pecked the top of Lan You Nians hair, smiling, You are my woman. How am I a pervert?
Lan You Nians teeth itched. She grabbed Feng Yi Xuan and took a bite of him, but she didnt use much force and let go, threatening, When did I be your woman? Hmph!
Feng Yi Xuans eyes narrowed with danger upon hearing this. How arent you my woman? Or do you want to be a woman right now? He didnt like to hear these words. They belonged to each other.
Lan You Nian knew her words made Feng Yi Xuan unhappy. Feeling Feng Yi Xuans hands bing restless in the nkets, Lan You Nian plead for mercy, I am! But the hands in the nkets didnt stop, so Lan You Nian continued, Lan You Nian is Feng Yi Xuans! Forever!
Only then did Feng Yi Xuan stop his hands. Actually, he didnt really want to stop. The skin under his touch was slippery like mutton fat jade, so soft it made Feng Yi Xuan reluctant to tear his hands away. But he knew if he continued, he will really make Nian Nian angry.
Is there morning court this morning? Lan You Nian watched at Feng Yi Xuan got out of bed, tucked in the nkets, and grabbed the outfit on the hanger to dress himself.
Feng Yi Xuan put on the outer robe, nodding, En, it is necessary to attend this mornings court assembly. Theres still time for you to sleep some more. After I get back from court, Ill eat the morning meal with you. Usually, he didnt need to go to morning court, but he must be present for the important court assemblies. This was his responsibility.
Mhm, okay! Lan You Nian snuggled into the nkets, only revealing her head outside, cute like a little toddler. Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians forehead, and walked out of the room to attend morning court. As for Lan You Nian, she didnt feel sleepy at all after Feng Yi Xuan left, so she got out of bed.
Young miss, youre awake? Lan Qus voice drifted in from outside.
Lan You Nian was surprised, because Lan Qu was at Lan manorst night. Lan You Nian replied, En!
Lan Qu walked into the room and guessed her young misss surprise, saying, Last night young miss and Ming wang didnte back, so I knew young miss came to Ming wang manor to rest, so I let Lan Ren send me over, so young miss will have someone to serve you!
Lan You Nian allowed Lan Qu to brush her hand, asking curiously, Where did you restst night? After all, there wasnt a single female in Ming wang manor.
Young miss, rest assured, An San prepared a ce for me. If young miss were to rest in Ming wang manor in the future, I will be able to serve young miss here! Lan Qu beamed, sighing in admiration over young misss beautiful looks.
After washing up, Lan You Nian walked out of the room. Because she wanted to wait until Feng Yi Xuan came back to eat together, Lan You Nian strolled around in Ming wang manor with Lan Qu out of boredom. The manor has been swept clean, without a single snowke. Lan You Nian had to admire the speed of Ming wang manors manservants.
Wangfei! Steward Uncle Feng eximed when he saw Lan You Nian, Its so cold out. Why doesnt wangfei rest in the room? This old ve will have someone to set up a charcoal fire in the grand hall! Why dont wangfei go to the grand hall to sit? If you get cold, wangye will die of heartache!
Lan You Nian chuckled dryly. She knew this elder was sincerely concerned about her, but why does every single person consider her made of porcin. What Lan You Nian doesnt know is that her outward appearance was too deceptive, making people unconsciously feel she is frail, not a pretentious frailty but a genuine frailty.
Lan You Nian wanted to say something. A guard came over to Lan You Nian saying, Wangfei, there are two women outside asking to see wangye! On a normal asion, they would inform the steward and the steward would have them intercept the women, but now wangfei was in the manor, the one to make the decision was wangfei.
Oh? Lan You Nian wondered who would visit Ming wang manor at the start of the new year. Could it be some rotten peach blossoms? Have you asked whose family the women are from? Lan You Nian asked.
Answering wangfei, one is the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Manor, the other says she is the Dowager Empresss grandniece. Do you need this subordinate to chase them off? The guard asked. Their entire Ming wang manor was united: they wont allow for anyone to bully wangfei!
Let them in! a soul-touching smile emerged on Lan You Nians beautiful face, her slightly curved eyebrows were smiling, but the eyes under her brows were piercingly cold, Oh right, bring them in from the back door. Not just anyone can enter Ming wang manors front doors!
The back doors were entered by those who didnt have presentable identities. If concubines and such werent favored, they can only enter from the side doors. For Lan You Nian to have them enter the back doors, wasnt that saying they werent even worthy of being concubines?
Yes! Though Ming wang manor didnt allow for a single female to enter, since wangfei gave the orders, the guard followed hermand. Wangye already said wangfeis words were the same as wangyes, any disrespect to wangfei was disrespecting wangye.
Uncle Feng, prepare some tea. This is Ming wang manors first guest of the year! Lan You Nian said to Uncle Feng.
Yes! This old ve will go prepare! Uncle Feng said and left, wondering where in the manor was inferior tea leaves. When he still wasnt able to think of where there were inferior tea leaves, in the end, he dug out the tea leaves that have been gathering dust in the warehouse for ten years. Theyve already been nibbled on rats and were unbearable to look at.
Chapter 202 - The Forces of Both Sides
202 The Forces of Both Sides
This years winter, the ground riddled with cracks. The small gust of north wind fiercely scraped like des, as snow tumbled from the sky. As far as the eyes can reach, it waspletely white between heaven and earth. Snowkes fluttered down from the sky. The world seemed to have a white curtain pulled over it. The earth immediately became wrapped in silver. It really conforms to the words Suddenly overnight came a spring breeze, thousands and tens of thousands of pear blossoms bloomed.
From the faint stirrings of the spies outside Lan manor, the state of the capital has be even more forbidding. Military power in this situation served as an important effect. Every time Lan You Nian left the manor, she was being followed.
Lan You Nian knew Lan manor was a very important chess piece, because she was Feng Yi Xuans soft spot. If she fell into the hands of the Empresss faction, Feng Yi Xuans side will have their hands and feet tied. So Lan You Nian knew the importance of her own safety. But these people were really too naive if they think they can catch her.
Young miss, do you know whats thetest hot topic in the capital!? Lan Wu set up the charcoal fire in the pavilion. The entire pavilion became as warm as spring. Lan You Nian was toozy toe out, from fear of the cold.
Lan You Nian snuggled on the soft couch, a thick brocade quilt draping over her, and released a dull yawn, Whats happened?
Lan Wu and Lan Qu ran over to the burning charcoal fire, and chattered, Just recently people noticed a woman amongst a beggars den. That woman was doing that with those beggars... Lan Wu said, feeling a little awkward in continuing.
Its very normal! Lan You Nian smirked. It was her idea after all. It seems An Yi did things very well. When she has the chance, shell have Lan Wu go visit him. Its confounding that An Yi was so capable but severelycking when it came to chasing girls. Even now Lan Wu has yet to know his feelings.
But young miss, do you know!? That woman is actually Yu Qing! Lan Wu eximed excitedly. As for anyone who wanted to ruin young misss happiness, Lan Wu only had vengeful feelings towards them, Lets see if she dares to say she wants to marry Ming wang! What lunatic ravings!
You! Lan Qu chuckled. Lan Qu and Lan Ren were already married. The two of them held a very simple wedding. It was Lan You Nian who took them back to Wu Qing Pavilion to hold their wedding. Originally, Lan You Nian wanted them to travel around and y around after the wedding but the two of them refused. The second day after their wedding, they returned with her. But after marriage, there really wasnt any visible changes in Lan Qu and Lan Ren. Between the two, Lan Ren still helped Lan You Nian handle certain affairs while Lan Qu served by her side. If there was one difference, then it was that they now had a spouse.
At this moment, Lan Ren stood outside, Young miss!
Enter! Lan You Nian said softly. She didnt ce any importance on keeping distance between men and woman. Besides, these people were all her confidants. Lan You Nian never suspected them of anything, but when Feng Yi Xuan was present, they were allowed to enter, even Lan Qu and the other girls werent allowed.
Lan Ren removed his cloak that was dusted with snow and walked into the room. He headed straight for Lan Qu, warming himself by the fire. Lan You Nian smiled softly. Perhaps it was different once one married. In the past, Lan Ren wouldnt take the initiative.
Young miss, weve discovered the whereabouts of Heavens Tear Heart! Lan Rens face that was frozen red couldnt hold back his joy.
Lan You Nian sat up atop the soft couch, with some joy. Before she left the valley, shifu told her she needed one medicine, heavens tear heart. After she arrived at the capital, she passed down orders to have the people below look into it and find the whereabouts of Heavens Tear Heart. She didnt expect to actually find clues.
Where is it? Lan You Nian asked.
Lan Ren stood up, saying, I havent found the exact location, but we can be certain heavens Tears Heart is in the area of Jiangnan. But as for which family has it, we havent found out! In order to find the whereabouts of Heavens Tears Heart, Gui Si mobilized Wu Qing Pavilions intelligence and spread out a huge intelligencework, which was why they found the approximate location of Heaven Tear Heart in such a short time.
Since we can find out this bit, then the rest isnt far off! Lan You Nian said. One cant hurry in such matters.
But young miss, there is another power in the pugilistic world that seems to be investigating the whereabouts of Heaven Tear Heart. Theyve been searching some time before us! Lan Ren told Lan You Nian the news he obtained.
You havent found out whose forces they belong to? Lan You Nian asked severely. Heaven Tear Heart was very important to her, but now there was another group of people coveting it, this meant things werent so simple anymore. This power has been searching for Heaven Tear Heart before her. Who could it be?
No, fourth young master used a lot of our forces but we still havent found out who they are! Lan Ren said feeling slightly ashamed, but he knew this wasnt the time to me himself but work harder to find Heaven Tear Heart before the other.
They are actually so secretive? Lan You Nians finger gently tapped the sides of the couch, frowning as she pondered. In the recent years, Wu Qing Pavilions development in the pugilistic world is amongst the top tier. Their intelligencework was spread all over every country. Now such a powerful force showed up yet they couldnt find out which faction they belonged to, it seems it wasnt her Wu Qing Pavilion was too weak but their opponent was too strong.
Was there a fight? Lan You Nians finger didnt stop as she asked Lan Ren.
Yes, our opponents martial arts isnt low but none of our brothers were severely injured. Our opponent only had a few who were injured. This power is most likely equally matched with Wu Qing Pavilion, or even stronger than Wu Qing Pavilion, but no matter how much we investigate, we havent found out which faction they belong to! Lan Ren said grimly. For this matter, hes been so busy he hasnt stopped to rest.
Pass down orders, send more people to investigate this force, but if encountered, if they can beat them, then fight, if they cant, then run. Theyre not allowed to not take their lives seriously. Everythings good as long as they have their life! Lan You Nianid back down. Many of Wu Qing Pavilions manpower were trained by second brother. They were all very loyal. Though these people were her subordinates, as long as they were loyal to her, she will protect them with everything she had.
I heard its already spring in Jiangnan, Lan You Nian said.
Yes, on the entire continent, only Jiangnan is as warm as spring! Lan Qu said.
Lan You Nian nodded, and said, In a few days, well go sight-seeing to Jiangnan. Its dull being stuck in the capital! Actually, she was too fearful of the cold. Besides, itd be convenient for her to investigate Heavens Tears Heart location if she went personally to Jiangnan.
Yes! Lan Wu was the first to throw both her hands up in agreement. She was really bored out of her mind in the capital. In the winter, young miss didnt take a step out the door, she was about to mold from being stuck indoors. She went to Jiangnan once with young miss. It was truly beautiful!
Young miss, but what about Ming wang... Lan Qu said with concern. Everyone knew Ming wangs feelings for young miss. On a normal day his possessiveness was frightening, if young miss went to Jiangnan for some time, who knows if Ming wang would agree.
Lan You Nianid down and snuggled into the quilt on the couch, her words muffled, This young misss man, of course this young miss will bring him along!
In the military camp, Feng Yi Xuan, dressed in ck brocade robes, stood in the wind as he overlooked the Ming army that was training below, his face aloof and cold, disying a proud indifference. A lofty stance like a sovereign standing high up above the world, looking down at everyone, that overpowering bearing dering Feng Yi Xuans extraordinariness, lofty as a sovereign, giving people the feeling of him being a war god living existing in ughter, making peoples hearts tremble.
Prime Minister An seems to have mobilized his troops. Do we need to withdraw some of the troops from the borders back? Feng Xia Qi stood beside Feng Yi Xuan overlooking the Ming army below and couldnt help praising, these were the real soldiers, the type that can take down ten with just one.
Feng Yi Xuan apathetically observed the ground and said, The forces at the borders cant be touched. Recently, Yue country has been restless. The Empresss faction cant escape me. If the border forces were moved, itd be difficult to defend the country!
True! Feng Xia Qi nodded and said, Its been so many years. Its about time we should end this! Though the Empresss faction has a lot of military forces, we arentcking either. We also have Lan Jian Juns military forces. The odds are in our favor!
Hn, just some clowns! Feng Yi Xuan sneered coldly. The moment the Empresss faction dared to rebel, he would be perfectly justified inpletely eradicating the Empresss faction. The imperial court will be much cleaner in the future.
Alright, you be careful. You now have Nianer meimei, so pay more attention to your safety! Feng Xia Qi advised. He was aware of his younger brothers carelessness with his own life when on the battlefield. No one dared to face him off. Feng Yi Xuan has suffered innumerable injuries. He wrote many letters to persuade him but it was no use.
Sure enough, upon mentioning Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuans face warmed up, even his voice filled with warmth, I will be careful! He wanted to do many many things with Nian Nian. He still had to marry in Nian Nian, so how can he let something happen to him?
Feng Xia Qi left once their discussion ended. An Yi appeared behind Feng Yi Xuan.
Master, Wu Qing Pavilion is also searching for Heavens Tears Heart! An Yi said. When master was in the Medical Valley, he passed down the message to have all of Ghost Realms forces search for Heavens Tear Heart. As their Ghost Realm was searching for Heavens Tear Heart, they encountered Wu Qing Pavilions people who were also looking for Heavens Tear Heart. The two forces got into a scuffle, but An Yi, remembering the deep rtionship between wangfei and Wu Qing Pavilion, immediately withdrew.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard this, his entire person became even more vicious. He originally thought shifu only told him to look for Heavens Tear Heart, but now it seems shifu also told Nian Nian. But Nian Nian didnt tell him; instead, she told Young Master Wu Qing. It appears this Master Wu Qing had some weight in Nian Nians heart!
Continue to search. Find it before Wu Qing Pavilion! Feng Yi Xuan said. He wont allow that Master Wu Qing to obtain any merits in front of Nian Nian, Have Ghost Realms forces undermine Wu Qing Pavilions forces. Dont harm anyone. Just teach them a lesson!
Though Feng Yi Xuan disliked Master Wu Qing, he knew Master Wu Qing was good to Nian Nian and took care of Nian Nian for many years. If he really did anything to Master Wu Qing, the one who would be upset would still be Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt do anything to make Nian Nian upset. But finding some misery for Master Wu Qing was still doable.
Feng Yi Xuan was unaware that because of his petty thoughts of jealousy, he slept alone for many days...
Chapter 203 - Palace Coup (1)
203 Pce Coup (1)
Today was His Majesty Feng Xuans birthday. The entire capital was talking about it, for the Emperors birthday was a big event. The imperial pce was decorated with colorful flowers and various ribbons, appearing remarkably beautiful.
Golden roofs and stone walls were patterned with various dragon designs brightly colored. The floors were covered with soft brocade embroidered carpets. asionally there burned a few bright red mes. The entire grand hall was full of low tables. Graceful figured pce maids and eunuchs dressed in blue and gray eunuch uniforms busily wove in and out of the grand hall.
Outside the grand hall stood line after line of guards, pce maids, and mamas guiding the youngdies and young masters of prestigious families into the grand hall. Lan You Nian was amongst them. The current mistress of Lan manor, Hua Mu Qing, wasnt in attendance. Lan You Nian entered the grand hall with Yue Bai Lian.
When passing by those guards, Lan You Nian casually nced at them, a fog of ice shing over her eyes. Couldnt wait anymore, could they? Good, really good. Xuan probably cant wait anymore either. If clowns jumping around long enough, it bes quite irksome.
There seems to be something wrong with todays birthday feast. Nianer, be careful! Yue Bai Lian whispered, sitting beside Lan You Nian. The women were already seated here, while the men havent yet arrived. They were apanying the Emperor to worship the ancestors. Every year, right before the Emperors birthday, it was necessary to take all the officials and ministers to the Imperial Mausoleum to worship the ancestors.
Lan You Nian observed all the youngdies of ministerial families animatedly chatting andughing, a profoundness shing over her eyes, and asked Yue Bai Lian, Why do you say so? They havent received any news. Lan You Nian only just guessed from what she saw. Probably not even Feng Yi Xuan knew something was going to happen.
Yue Bai Lian wasnt panicked, as if she was not any different than any other woman attending the banquet, and poured a cup of tine for Lan You Nian, smiling, Today is His Majestys banquet feast, yet there are so many guards outside. That there is guards isnt strange, but its strange that theyre standing outside the banquet. And these guards arent pce guards, for they give off a killing aura.
Lan You Nians eyes shed with praise. She always knew Yue Bai Lian was smart, but now she knew not only was Yue Bai Lian smart, she was also full of courage and insight; otherwise, if an ordinary woman encountered such a situation, they would be shaking with fear-how could they still smile and make tea for her?
In a moment, if something happens, remember to stay behind me, understood? Lan You Nian said with an indifferent expression. Yue Bai Lian doesnt know martial arts. If something happens, shell be able to protect her if she stands behind her. For her own people, Lan You Nian will always protect them.
A picturesque smile bloomed on Yue Bai Lian. It wasnt that she wasnt afraid of what was about to happen, but knowing she had Lan You Nian by her side, Yue Bai Lian felt at ease, as if Lan You Nian, who was much smaller and much daintier than her, gave her a great sense of security. If something really goes wrong, shed risk her life to protect Lan You Nian. But Yue Bai Lian was happy hearing Lan You Nians words. They were no longer master and servant, but true friends.
Dont worry about me. Im fine! Nianer, you must be careful! Yue Bai Lian reached out her hand to hold Lan You Nians hands that were as white and wless as bamboo shoots. She cannot be be Lan You Nians stumbling block. If she hindered Lan You Nian, even death cannot absolve her from me.
The corner of Lan You Nians eyes curled, her gaze was gentle. Her smile was decorous, possessing a natural aristocratic poise. She nodded.
Just as everyone was stillughing and chatting, suddenly, the guards outside barged into the hall. All of them swung out their swords. No matter how dense they were, everyone knew that something was wrong.
What are you doing? Drop your weapons! A supervisor eunuch stood out, reprimanding those guards, but upon the tail of his words, his throat was slit by a guard. Bright red blood sprayed out, dying red the carpet in the hall. The eunuch topped over, holding his throat.
Ah! Ah! Ah! The moment the eunuchs blood sprayed out and crashed onto the floor, the hall rung with shrill shrieks. The usually dignified women held to one another in horror as they screamed. Even more women shook in fear and wept. Even more, there were some who run in the hall to leave this ce, but unfortunately, before they could leave the hall, they were ughtered by the guards with a swing of their word, only leaving those who didnt dare to run.
Lan You Nians gazed at this scene apathetically, without a trace of pity, nor did she offer a hand to save those innocent women. Lan You Nian was cold-blooded and ruthless. For those unconcerned people, she would offer any kindness. If those people caught her interest or made her view them in a new light, she would offer her hand, but when she saw those superficial women dying under the des of the guards, Lan You Nian sat there watching them as if watching a y.
Sitting beside Lan You Nian, Yue Bai Lian, despite turning pale from seeing the blood sttering everywhere, her eyes did not contain any pity or sympathy. Though shes dwelled in the brothel for many years, shes seen plenty of death and killing. The only thing making her ill at ease wasnt fear but worry that Lan You Nian would be dragged into it.
An Si Yan who was sitting amongst the noblewomen stood up, smiling. Under the disbelieving gaze of the surrounding women, she walked over to the guards. Those guards didnt kill her; instead, they respectfully greeted her.
You, a girl who was usually friendly with An Si Yan reached out her fingers to point at An Si Yan, looking at her fearfully, weeping as she asked, An Si Yan, what are you doing? Whats happening?
An Si Yan smiled daintily, a sharp contrast to the horrified noble women. She smirked, saying to the girl, What am I doing? Cant you tell? Im controlling you!
Why? Do you know the consequences of your actions? The girl looked at An Si Yan fearfully. This was a rebellion! Si Yan, we have such a good rtionship. Can you let me go? I promise I wont say anything. I just want to go home! the girl hoped An SiYan can consider their many years of sisterhood and let her go. She didnt want to die; she was so afraid.
Let you go? An Si Yanughed happily. All these years, though her status was pretty high, but An Si Yan felt right now was the best. Look, so many people feared her. She was the most powerful woman in the capital. Why would I let you go? Rest assured, as long as youre obedient, I wont let them kill you!
An Si Yan was luxuriating in this feeling when she realized Lan You Nian didnt show a trace of fear. She just sat there like a beautiful painting. Her white face, without any makeup, was enchanting as a celestial maiden. Those pair of eyes, so clear you could see to the bottom, werentcking in allure. Her fine brows were like willows as a apathetic, mocking smirk filled her eyes. A petite nose and full, red lips rippled on that exquisite and wless palm-sized face.
Why arent you afraid!? An Si Yan came over to Lan You Nian, roaring, Lan You Nian, you slut, why wont you beg for mercy!?
Yue Bai Lian was already infuriated on Lan You Nians behalf, but she knew she couldnt do anything at this moment. If she did something wrong, it will only implicate Lan You Nian. Yue Bai Lian could only suppress the fury in her heart, expressionlessly looking at An Si Yan.
Lan You Nian lifted her head, the smile on her lips remain unchanged. It was clear her seated position was much lower than An Si Yan who was standing, but herportment made other feel An Si Yan was looking up at Lan You Nian.
What is there to fear? Lan You Nian asked.
An Si Yan stared at Lan You Nian. Her eyes seemed to dripping with poison, making people shudder with fear. She thought she has already be the knife while Lan You Nian has be the fish. An Si Yans expression became distorted as she ordered a guard, Drag her out! Lan You Nian, today I will let you know the consequences of offending this young miss!
But the guard stood there without moving an inch. An Si Yan roared, Didnt you hear this young misss words!
A guard said, Replying to young miss, the Prime Ministers orders were that this Lan manors legitimate matter cant be touched at the moment. Theres still a use for her! Though he disliked An Si Yans temper, he was a subordinate; moreover, he was the Prime Ministers subordinate, so he can only answer. But he cant go against the Prime Ministers wishes.
Lan You Nian smirked. It seems the Prime Minister saw her as Feng Yi Xuan and fathers weak spot- if he caught her, what was there to fear?
What!? An Yi Yan didnt expect that she couldnt touch Lan You Nian even now, but thinking as long as she didnt die, father and grandfather could still use Lan You Nian to threaten Ming wang and General Lan. An Si Yan reached out her palm to p Lan You Nian. She resented Lan You Nians exquisite and wless face. She wanted to destroy Lan You Nians face. Lets see who will like Lan You Nian then.
A faint smile hung on Lan You Nians face, but the frostiness within that smile trounced the frost of winter. As An Si Yan was about to p her, Lan You Nian abruptly stood. Her left foot lifted violently, a whip of her leg carried a howling wind, ramming into An Si Yans waist, directly mming An Yi Yan onto the floor.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Mausoleum...
Emperor Feng Xuan led many ministers and young masters to the Imperial Mausoleum. In actuality, heading to the Imperial Mausoleum was actually just praying to the ancestors at the dais, the meaning was to thank the ancestors for their blessings and to continue protecting Feng country.
The dais at the Imperial Mausoleum was even higher than a hundred steps, giving people a solemn and upright air. Emperor Feng Xuan led four sons up the steps. The ministers below were already kneeling down and showing their reverence.
Feng Yi Xuan followed Emperor Feng Xuans footsteps up the stairs. Suddenly, Feng Yi Xuans foot paused momentarily, his cold, piercing eyes emitted a bone-chilling frost, but in an instant, they returned to normal. ncing at Feng Shao Chu, Feng Yi Xuans fingers shifted slightly, giving a covert corner a secret signal.
This secret signal was to have An Yi led a portion of Ming army to the pce hall. For many days, bes been observing for when the Empresss faction would make their move but didnt expect they would make their move today. Feng Yi Xuan instantly thought of Lan You Nian who was attending the pce banquet. What fight for imperial power? He didnt care for it. Nian Nians safety was the most important to him. Even if assigning a portion of Ming army to the pce banquet was an unwise move, he simply didnt care.
An Yi, who has been standing guard in the shadows, saw his masters secret signal and immediately led a portion of Ming army that has been hiding in the imperial pce over to the pce banquet. He was aware of how important the matriarch was to his master. If something happens to the matriarch, dont mention the endings of those enemies, he feared the entirety of Feng country will be plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering.
Ming army hastily followed An Yis footsteps in the pce unseen. Their master was Ming wang, but below Ming wang, An Yi was also their master, so when they knew they were going to save Ming wangfei who theyve never seen but have heard of, they were all ted as they aimed to perform well in front of wangfei. They just didnt know if a woman like wangfei would be afraid of iron-blooded men like them.
Seeing An Yi disappear into the shadows, Feng Yi Xuan felt slightly reassured. He knew of Lan You Nians capabilities; he knew even without An Yi, Nian Nian can escape danger, but Feng Yi Xuan wont let go even a sliver of a possibility. He couldnt afford the gamble.
When Emperor Feng Xuan finished his prayers and walked down from the dais, from all sides of the Imperial Mausoleum swarms of soldiers came pouring out. These soldiers were carrying weapons. Even more startling was that these soldiers were facing the Emperor.
Emperor Feng Xuan remained unppable as he looked at these soldiers, reproaching, Treacherous viins, are you rebelling?
At this moment, Prime Minister An who was hidden amongst the ministers stood out. His ministerial outfit couldnt hide Prime Ministers ambitions. He stared up at the Emperor. For the first time, he didnt kneel deferentially; instead, he smiled sinisterly, Feng Xuan, you cant sit steadily on this throne. Its about it changed masters! This old man is onlyplying with heavens will!
What an ambitious wolf! Feng Xia Qis fox eyes jumped , Old man, if you want to rebel just say so, why make so many excuses? But Prime Minister An, do you want to sit on the throne yourself, or is there someone else behind you?
Feng Xia Qi knew Prime Minister Ans rebellion was at second wangye Feng Shao Chus signal, but unfortunately Feng Shao Chu was still standing on their side. If it was so, then even if they eliminated the prime minister and his forces, future trouble still existed.
As for Feng Shao Chu, like everyone else, he was ring furiously at Prime Minister An as if he doesnt know anything, but was he really ignorant? Of course not! An manors rebellion was his idea, but Feng Shao Chu was aware that rebelling wasnt a small matter. If something goes wrong, it was the huge crime facing nine familial exterminations. He wanted to ascend the throne so how can he die? So he had Prime Minister An them rebel. Though a portion of the military power in their hands belonged to him, if they seeded, he could ascend the throne, if they failed, he could still escape me and make aeback. Empress Mother and grandfather both agreed to this n, so he didnt do anything today.
Ministers, be at ease. I had my subordinates invite your daughters as guests! An Gong Jing stood beside his father, looking at those ministers who were about to make a fuss arrogantly. They already had these ministers children in their hands.
The ministers who were about to take a stand for the imperial family didnt move out of fear once they heard this. Many of them were genuinely loyal, but behind them, they still had their own family. At the moment, many of the ministers didnt move, only red ߺ at the pair of father and son.
An Gong Jing, you dare! Lan Jian Jun pointed his spear at the pair of father and son. Know his daughter has already entered the pce, Lan Jian Jun already wanted to kill. Even though he knew that he should run over to the Emperors side to protect their sovereign, Lan Jian Jun couldnt do it. His heart was filled with. his daughter. He wanted to kill these people who wanted to hurt Nianer.
Ha! Prime Minister Ans subordinates immediately stepped forward and formed a protective circle around the pair of father and son. There were already some soldiers who were fighting Lan Jian Jun, with his spear.
Though there were many soldiers, Lan Jian Jun was a war general. Though he couldnt hurt the pair of father and son, none of the soldiers were able to hurt him. He faced millions of enemies when he fought on the battlefield, so Lan Jian Jun skillfully maneuvered amongst them.
Lan Mo Xian was also infuriated, but remembered his own ce. Father has already offended imperial power. If he too ignored His Majestys safety, even if His Majesty subdued the rebels, Lan Manor will face His Majestys suspicions.
Lan Jian Jun fought for a long time but still wasnt able to charge out of the Imperial Mausoleum. He could only retreat back to His Majestys side. At this point, the situation was even clearer.more clear
On the Emperors side stood several princes, Lan manors father and son, Jing manors father and son pair, as well as some devoted old ministers. On Prime Minister Ans side, there stood some officials promoted by Prime Minister An, leaving only the conservative faction, neither standing on the the Emperors side to disy their loyalty nor standing on Prime Minister Ans side to revolt.
In an instant, the entire Imperial Mausoleum became quiet. Both sides emitted killing intent, things were at the verge of breaking out...
Chapter 204 - Palace Coup (2)
204 Pce Coup (2)
Kill her! Hurry! Kill her! An Si Yan held her waist that Lan You Nian kicked, climbing off the ground, and shouted at the unmoving guards. She didnt expect Lan You Nian still dared to touch her at a time like this.
The captain of the guards looked at An Si Yan apologetically, Our apologies young miss but Prime Minister An ordered us not to touch this woman! This woman was worth quite a lot, so the guards only had to keep an eye on Lan You Nian. If Lan You Nian truly died, the Prime Minister wont show them mercy.
Lan You Nian saw An Si Yan was nearly going mad from rage, her lips curling into a sneer. This An Si Yan really thought she was something. Probably in Prime Minister Ans eyes, she was only a dispensable chess piece. Its really taking a chicken feather and showing it off as an arrow*.
(T/N: this is an idiom. The arrow represents a token of authority, so basically take a chicken feather for a warrant to issue orders )
What are youughing at? Lan You Nian! Let this young miss tell you, your good days are over! An Si Yan shouted at Lan You Nian but she didnt dare take a step closer to her. The kick from before was still unbearably painful even now.
Lan You Nian leisurely walked out of the seats. Every step she took forward, An Si Yan stumbled back in fear. Those guards stared at Lan You Nian cautiously, fearing Lan You Nian will run.
I dont know if my good days are over, but I know you Eldest Miss Ans good days are truly over! Lan You Nians cherry red lips pressed against An Si Yans ears, the chillingly cold words were like an ice cier unmelting for tens of thousands of years, a bone-piercing frost that echoed in An Si Yans ears.
For some reason, An Si Yans entire body trembled. Lan You Nians voice was still the same yet in An Si Yans ears, it was as if the voice of a ghost.
An Si Yan fearfully reached out her hands to p Lan You Nians stunning face but was detected by Lan You Nian. Her phoenix eyes shed with a sneer as her thin lips curled upwards. A small hand swiftly caught An Si Yans attacking hand and twisted it forcefully. Everyone heard the kacha sound and Lan You Nian sneered, Presumptuous.
An Si Yans entire arm was broken by Lan You Nian and the bones in the forearm were twisted to the point it was poking out, making it a ghastly sight. As for the concerned party, An Si Yan hugged her arm as she rolled around on the ground in pain. Those noblewomen looked at Lan You Nian fearfully.
Lan You Nian shrugged her shoulders. She was merely speaking the truth. An Si Yans arms were nowpletely useless. Her good days were over with.
At this moment, a signal shot up from the Imperial Mausoleums direction. When those guards saw the signal, they took out their swords, pointing it at Lan You Nian. The captain of the guards came over to Lan You Nian saying, Miss Lan please take a walk with us!
Yue Bai Lian was a little worried and wanted to block in front of Lan You Nian but was stopped by Lan You Nian. She gave Yue Bai Lian a reassuring smile. When she saw Yue Bai Lian rx, Lan You Nian shot Yue Bai Lian a look. Yue Bai Lian pondered for a moment and walked over to those noblewomen and hid herself.
If this young miss isnt willing? Lan You Nian nced at the guards surrounding her wielding weapons without a sliver of concern. That apathetic look made people feel she wasnt facing a life and death situation but merely admiring the gardens.
The guard pointed their swords at Lan You Nian, his tone unkind, Then dont me this one for being impolite!
When An Yi led a portion of Ming army to the pce hall, he saw their wangfei being pointed at by those guards swords and even had wangfei surrounded. Seeing wangfei not showing a sliver of panic in the face of danger, Ming army had a good impression from seeing the wangfei for the first time, but what happened next....
Lan You Nian looked at the guards who were pointing their swords at her, suddenlyughing out melodiously like an oriolesugh. The sound was graceful and soft. It was supposed to be such an intoxicating sound but because it was contaminated with killing intent, it became a bone-biting frost.
What I hate the most is other people threatening me! Lan You Nian took out her personal dagger, So, good bye!
Lan You Nian raised her eyebrows at the guards, her eye like ck jade shed with a frosty light. Without giving the other a chance to consider, before those guards could react, her figure moved, instantly darting out.
Lan You Nian brandished the dagger in her hand like the god of deaths scythe. The guards standing in front of Lan You Nian were like corpses as they fell in the mercy of Lan You Nians hand. Lan You Nians speed was very fast. As her words died away, she darted in front of the captain of the guards and those guards. The dagger in her hand was swift. Her figure became like a ghost as darted around the circles of guards. Her entire person was like a celestial maiden as her white clothes fluttered around her as she wove around in the grand hall. It looked like she was dancing, but the dagger in her hand befell one after another, urately severing her opponents necks. Every persons throat had the same blood stains, the same spot, the same length, without a single difference.
In moments, before everyone could blink, the entire grand hall diffused with a thick scent of blood. At Lan You Nians side, one body after another fell. The halls carpet were diedpletely red by the fresh blood. Some timiddies fainted from fright. Some women even threw up seeing Lan You Nian kill people without batting an eysh.
Lan You Nian killed off one circle of the guards that surrounded her. Many of the other guards looked at Lan You Nian grimly. They didnt expect the seemingly frail looking Lan You Nian to have such deftness and killing people so fiercely. They tightened their grip on their weapons, fearing they will die like the guards in front of them,
In contrast to these noblewomens reactions, the Ming army An Yi brought with him stared at Lan You Nian with bright eyes and couldnt restrain themselves from awe. Damn, this was their wangfei ah! Sure indeed, a female hero! Not only able to remain calm in danger, her aura couldpete with wangyes. Sure enough, the woman wangye fancied. was different from all the rest. Having such a valiant wangfei, they felt proud!
It was this one meeting that Lan You Nians reputation in Ming army could match Feng Yi Xuans in the future. Those big tough brutes were more respectful to Lan You Nian than anyone!
Though the guards felt fear from seeing Lan You Nians decisive skill, Lan You Nian was only one person while their were several hundred of them, so the guards looked at one another, each had a determined look as they filled with killing intent looking at Lan You Nian.
Miss Lan, if you arent obedient and go with us, then dont me us for not being polite! A guard said warningly to Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian killed so many guards, they all wanted to kill Lan You Nian, but thinking of Prime Ministers n, they had no choice but to follow orders.
Impolite? How daring! An Yi led Ming army charging into the pce hall. Behind Lan You Nian stood several hundred of Ming army.
Wangfei, this subordinate iste! An Yi showed deference to Lan You Nian, his tone deferential but filled with worry.
Behind, the rest of Ming army copied An Yis deferential bow, Wangfei! Only when they stepped closer did they see wangfei was actually so beautiful. They were a little embarrassed to speak.
Lan You Nian looked at the Ming army that sincerely called her wangfei and felt these men were quite endearing. Lan You Nian smiled softly, En, Im fine! How is wangye doing?
Lan You Nian was worried about Feng Yi Xuans side. And at this time Feng Yi Xuan sent Ming army over, Lan You Nian slightly moved.
When the guards saw the famous Ming army appear before their eyes, many of them started thinking about retreating, but An Yi wouldnt give them this opportunity. An Yi nced at Lan You Nian. The matriarch was present; he must listen to the matriarchs orders.
Lan You Nians lips curled up and raised her dainty hand, Kill!
The second her voice trailed off, every one of Ming army charged out to engage inbat. An Yi and several of the Ming army stood beside Lan You Nian protecting her. Lan You Nian nced at Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bai Lian smiled as she approached Lan You Nian, standing by her in a protective stance.
Lan You Nians eyes shed with admiration and appreciation seeing Ming armys swift and fierce skill. Even rarer was that from theirbat they were very decisive. On the battlefield, they should be good hands that can take ten against one. after killing off those guards, Ming army pulled back uniformly. It was telling that Ming armys discipline was very strict. It seems Feng Yi Xuan trained this squad very well. If she had the chance, shed go have a look.
Wangfei, all dealt with! one captain of Ming army stood in front of Lan You Nian, wiping off the bloodstains on his face as he reported.
Very good! Lan You Nian could tell these Ming army soldiers were awaiting her praise from their expressions. Lan You Nianplied with their wishes and said sternly, Right now, immediately head for the Imperial Mausoleum! Lan You Nian left several of the Ming army behind to look after these noblewomen while she took An Yi and Ming army to the Imperial Mausoleum.
Feng Xuan, now itse to this point, dont me this old man for being cruel. This old man will give you a chance. Abdicate, and this old man will spare your life! Prime Minister An stood at the center of the throng of soldiers as he shouted at Emperor Feng Xuan standing on the dais, his tone contained unrestrained gloating.
Despite facing so many soldiers, Emperor Feng Xuans monarchical bearing didnt change. He wore an impassive face as he looked at Prime Minister An, You rebels dare to be so rampant! How can this emperors country be given to you viins!
Hahaha! Prime Minister An sneered at Feng Xuan, Since it is so, then dont me this old man for disregarding the past decorum between monarch and minister! Prime Minister An nced at Feng Shao Chu who stood beside Emperor Feng Xuan and noticed Feng Shao Chu discretely shot him a look. Prime Minister An knew it was time to make their move.
Originally Prime Minister An them wanted to let Feng Xuan directly abdicate. That way Feng Shao Chu wouldnt wont suffer a bad reputation once he ascended the throne, but since Feng Xuan doesnt agree, then theyll use force. At the worst, theyll revise history. Besides fearing the possibility of the n failing, Feng Shao Chu hid himself by Emperor Feng Xuans side also so he can easily kill his Imperial Father Feng Xuan amongst the chaos. Then, Feng country will be in his.
Emperor Feng Xuan looked at Prime Minister An without any fear. For Feng Xuan, ever since he sat on this seat, he knew he must face many types of situations. Over the years, hes experienced many many things. But Feng Xuan nced at his two sons with guilt, especially his sixth son Feng Yi Xuan.
Qier, Xuaner Emperor Feng Xuan said to them, Later, the two of you kill your way out! Dont worry about your Imperial Father. Your Imperial Father has lived long enough! Feng Xuan hoped the two of them could charge out. As long as they lived, they still had a chance.
Hearing Emperor Feng Xuans words, Feng Shao Chus eyes became piercing as des. Sinister and poisonous gaze was like a fanged poisonous snake, reflecting a terrifying light. In his Imperial Fathers eyes and heart, he didnt have this son of his. Even at this moment, he didnt even look at him. Then even if he murdered his father, he wouldnt have any guilt. He can only me he was too biased!
Feng Xia Qi nced at Emperor Feng Xuan, his eyesplicated as he said, Imperial Father, subject-son will protect Imperial Fathers safety!
In contrast, Feng Yi Xuans eyes were icy without any signs of being moved. An air of coldness and ruthlessness emitted from his body like a tangible pressure. Even the soldiers quite a distance from him could feel it clearly, making them want to bow in submission.
As for Emperor Feng Xuans words, for Feng Yi Xuan, it went in one ear and out the other. He was a cold, ruthless person. His few warmth and tenderness were all give to Lan You Nian. Towards other people, he had no feelings.
Feng Xia Qi nced at Feng Shao Chu and shot Jing Wu An a look. The two of them were childhood friends. Plus, Jing Wu An was a very cunning man. In an instant, he understood Feng Xia Qis meaning. He discretely nodded his head to show he understood. He will keep an eye on Feng Shao Chu.
Emperor Feng Xuan is fatuous and ipetent. Today, this old man willply with Heavens wishes. Kill! Prime Minister shouted and then the swarm of soldiers rushed at Emperor Feng Xuan.
Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian as well as some ministers who knew martial arts stood in front of Emperor Feng Xuan, staring anxiously at the approaching soldiers. At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan dressed in ck, face like unyielding ice, leisurely took a few steps forward, his whole body was surrounded by a piercing sovereign aura.
As for Feng Xia Qi, there was a smirk on his lips, unrestrained and defiant, his entire bearing became even sharper. Neither of them showed signs of cowering.
Just as the soldiers slowly neared them, with a wave of Feng Yi Xuans iron arm, in an instant, from all directions of the Imperial Mausoleum poured out Ming army dressed in ck stealth uniforms. Ming army surrounded the entire Imperial Mausoleum in strict discipline. An Er and a few of Ming armysmanders knelt before Feng Yi Xuan, Master!
Ming army? Some ministers gasped in surprise.
It really is Ming army! Heaven has eyes! some loyal old ministers cried out in joy.
In many peoples eyes Ming army was the strongest and even more mysterious. Now Ming army has made an appearance, it was tantamount to letting them know where they stood.
When Prime Minister An saw Ming army, his entire body shook. He didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to be aware of the plot hes arranged for so long. But now the bow has been released, the arrow cante back. Today, one shall stand and one shall fall!
When Feng Shao Chu noticed Ming army, his eyes trembled. He didnt expect Ming army to be hidden within the Imperial Mausoleum and they werepletely unaware of it. If he didnt have foresight and stood with the Prime Minister....
Though Feng Yi Xuan wasnt decked out in army, it couldnt conceal his arrogant and cold bearing like he was looking down at the world. Feng Yi Xuans eyes were cold as he stared at the father and son pair being protected by severalyers of soldiers. In a moment, screams and the ng of swords rang in the Imperial Mausoleum. The entire Imperial Mausoleum resounded with deafening sound. A thick bloody smell floated in the air.
Feng Yi Xuans entire focus was at a faraway ce. Sure enough, he saw the signal An Yi sent out and knew Nian Nian was safe. Feng Yi Xuan released a breath in his heart. From the beginning, his entire concern was on Nian Nian. Now he can finally end these rats.
Some soldiers with rtively good martial arts charged past Ming army and ran over to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan held his hands behind his back as he scrutinized the soldiers holding their weapons to kill him. The smile in his eyes became frostier. Feng Yi Xuans eyes narrowed, calm as a mountain, until those soldiers des were only an inch from his body, he turned sideways dodging the attack like an afterimage. At the same time, both hands struck. Powerful palm force continuously attacked the soldiers fatal points. In an instant, those charging soldiers were thrown out by the force of the energy, falling to the ground vomiting blood and didnt stand up again, dying from blood flowed from seven orifices on the face.
In moments, many soldiers were terrified. Feng Yi Xuans martial arts was too profound, only those who have seen it for themselves know how terrifying it was.
Ming army didnt have as many soldiers than Prime Minister An but Ming armys abilities couldnt bepared to a normal soldier. So after a time, Prime Minister Ans soldiers were starting to lose ground. Dead soldiers followed after another as corpses piled up into mountains. Arms and chopped limbs scattered on the earth. The blood converged like water spreading across the earth. It seemed even the sky was died with a bloody red.
Prime Minister An went from the assurance and full of confidence at the start to fear and be at a loss. Though he nned to rebel and knew the results of failure, but he was reluctant to admit defeat. He looked at the slowly approaching Ming army but the safe and sound Emperor Feng Xuan. His entire person dripped with sweat as if he had been drenched by rain.
Cold sweat drenched Feng Shao Chus back. All this time hes been looking for the chance to kill Imperial Father Feng Xuan or even hold Imperial Father hostage, but that Jing Wu An and Feng Xia Qi kept standing beside Imperial Father. His martial arts wasnt high; there wasnt a chance for him to make a move. Feng Shao Chu nced at his grandfather and knew they were really going to fail. And he must abandon the grandfather who loved him for so many years and those forces.
Chapter 205 - Palace Coup (3)
205 Pce Coup (3)
Prime Minister An saw the situation was beyond salvation but was loath to give up. He red vehemently at Feng Yi Xuan who remains unscathed, bellowing, Ming wang, dont be so arrogant! Do you know your beloved fiancee is in this old mans hands? If you dont want anything to happen to her...
Once Prime Minister Ans came out, on the other side, the expressions on many peoples faces changed.
Feng Xia Qis fox eyes that were bright and gentle as water were frozen over byyers of cold frost. He nced at his younger brother with worry, but he couldnt see any expression. Feng Xia Qi thought, if something happens to Nianer meimei, I will definitely let go. He didnt care about what imperial throne. Both he and Bai Lian came to the agreement that they will protect Lan You Nian.
Both Jing Wu An and Lan Mo Xians faces turned ugly as they glowered at Prime Minister An, but they knew this wasnt the right time to speak. In their hearts, they prayed Lan You Nian to be safe and sound, not because of this situation but because Lan You Nian was their friend, their little sister.
Emperor Feng Xuan nced at his son. He was aware of how unpredictable his son was. Perhaps he would really abandon the current situation for a woman. The Emperor wanted to say something to sway him but knew he wouldnt be able to persuade him.
Lan Jian Juns entire person became vtile. He watched with disappointment as Feng Yi Xuan showed no change in expression. Has Ming wang really given up on his daughter? Lan Jian Jun suddenly fell to his knees in front of Emperor Feng Xuan; then, he banged his head on the ground, pleading, Your Majesty, forgive this subjects boldness. This subject wants to save my daughter!
Lan Jian Juns words signified resisting imperial will. No one, not even Emperor Feng Xuan, expected the most unwavering General Lan was willing to bear the charge of treason in order to save his daughter. Emperor Feng Xuan actually had no desire toy any me on Lan Jian Jun. He was well aware of Lan Jian Juns fealty, but having been loyal most of life, at this moment, the most important thing in Lan Jian Juns heart was no longer his fealty to his sovereign but his daughter.
Ming wang... Lan Jian Jun was ready to entreat Feng Yi Xuan to let Prime Minister An go, so his daughters life can be exchanged. If Ming wang consented, he would be grateful and will believe in their love. If he refused, he was ready to risk everything, even his life, to save his daughter.
Lan Mo Xian internally agreed with his fathers decision. there was nothing more important than his little sister. In the past, because of their oversight, little sister underwent so much suffering. They will never make the same mistake again.
In a moment, everyones focus was on Feng Yi Xuan, for Feng Yi Xuan was the one who was ultimately making the decision, and it was Feng Yi Xuan who could mobilize Ming army.
Feng Yi Xuan regarded Lan Jian Jun who would rather bear the dishonor of treason in order to save Nian Nian. For the first time, he felt happy for Nian Nian for having such a father. It was the first time Feng Yi Xuan offered a pleasant expression to Lan Jian Jun as his thin lips curled up, Havent you noticed only half of Ming army is present?
With these words, all eyes stared at those Ming army soldiers with terror as they noticed that, indeed, only half of Ming army was present. This was such a crucial time, so howe only half of Ming army hase? What about the other half? Thinking of this, all eyes fell on Feng Yi Xuan with horror. They didnt expect that at a time like this Ming wang considered a woman more important than the country.
Lan Jian Jun gaped at Feng Yi Xuan in disbelief. He didnt expect Ming wang to do this. Such love was more tempting than anything. In Ming wangs heart, its likely, his daughter was even more important than Feng countrysnd.
No, not possible! Prime Minister cried out in fear. If thest remaining hole card in his hand was saved by Feng Yi Xuan, what was he to do?
How is it not possible? Prime Minister An is indeed getting up in age. Not only is your head addled, but even your ears also appear as if theyre not working! Augh like tinkling silver bells drifted into everyones ears, like a pristine spring trickling over granite-cool, soothing, and pleasant.
At one look, everyone saw Lan You Nian who was like a celestial maiden as headed an orderly formation of Ming army standing not far away. Hair like waterfall willfully draped over her shoulders, the tails of her hair were in disarray from the fighting, like blossoming tender flower buds, setting off her fair and smooth skin, extreme ck against extreme white. When the two extreme colors set off one another, it was a soul-stirring beauty. She wore a pure white dress. When a gentle wind blew past, the skirt and hair danced in the wind. The sunlight behind her was reduced to being a background as if it was a spotlight that shone only on her. Her beauty was like a clear spring, pristine, pure, possessing a divine beauty that no one dared to desecrate or vite.
The cold cruelty passed over Feng Yi Xuans brows, disappearing. His eyes fell on the young girl standing not far away, his eyes couldnt help filling up with gentleness and adoration. In a sh, Feng Yi Xuan appeared by Lan You Nians side, drawing Lan You Nian into his arms as his mouth continuously asked, Are you hurt? Are you afraid?
Even knowing Lan You Nian was powerful and strong, in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, he still couldnt help but worry.
A smile unfurled on Lan You Nians face. In an instant, there was a reverence of hundreds of flowers in full bloom under the radiance of the sun. She carefully inspected Feng Yi Xuan, in fear Feng Yi Xuan received any injuries. Feng Yi Xuans ck hair swayed with the breeze. A ck brocade robe under the sunlight refracted a faint radiance. Under a pair of sword eyebrows, those dazzling eyes seemed to be able to peer through the past and present life. Below, was a straight and upright nose and colored lips that when looking at her turned up into a soft smile but when looking at others, they were as cold as ice. His three-dimensional facial features were as handsome as if it was carved by a de. His whole person gave off a monarchial air that could inspire awe throughout the world. On that handsome face, there was an adoring smile.
Im not afraid, nor am I hurt. Im fine! Lan You Nian very naturally snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms. She could sense Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with worry as they looked at her, so she disregarded a womans reserve and acted like this in public, but no one dared to mention it.
Perhaps because he had Lan You Nian by his side, Feng Yi Xuans cold air was subdued a lot, making many people stupefied. This Ming wang changed his face too fast!
Lan You Nian peeked at Lan Jian Jun. She heard what Lan Jian Jun said. To say she wasnt moved would be a lie. She didnt expect father would go this far for her. Walking out of Feng Yi Xuans arms, she walked over to Lan Jian Jun and embraced Lan Jian Jun like any lovable daughter, her face voice filled with stickiness, Father, daughter is well!
Lan Jian Juns wide and coarse hand patted Lan You Nians back, his eyes slightly red, Thats good, thats good!
Thanks everyones concern. Nianer is well! Lan You Nian said to Feng Xia Qi and the others. She then turned to the ministers, Ministers, your daughters are well, but there are a few youngdies who have been killed by Prime Minister Ans subordinates!
With Lan You Nians words, some of the neutral ministers red at Prime Minister An with fury. They were previously afraid of implicating their family, but now they heard Lan You Nians words, knowing their family was either saved by Ming army or were already killed, how can they stay still?
Prime Minister An knew he had nothing to use against them. To the guards by him, hemanded, Kill! The soldiers charged over to the other side, but not to mention there wasnt many soldiers left, just with so many of Ming army Lan You Nian brought back, dealing with these soldiers required no effort at all.
Prime Minister An, under the protection of some soldiers and ministers subordinate to him, was prepared to charge out of the encirclement and escape, but would Feng Yi Xuan give him this chance? Of course not.
Feng Yi Xuan still stood beside Lan You Nian, passing orders to An Yi, Bow!
An Yi presented the bow he always carried with him to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan epted the bow and offered Lan You Nian a smile and reluctantly let go of the big hand holding Lan You Nian; then, raising the bow, his mien changed suddenly, as if a king standing towering over the vault of heaven.
Feng Yi Xuans arms widened, easily drawing back the ck bow. Lan You Nian handed an arrow to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan smiled. The arrow attached to the bow. The sharp arrow aimed at Prime Minister An who was running away.
Feng Shao Chu watched Feng Yi Xuans every move, but he couldnt do anything to anything to stop him. The hand in his sleeves were bloody from self-inflicted wing, but he could only watch...
Feng Yi Xuans arm shifted slightly and the arrow broke through the air as it whipped through the wind. In a blink, it appeared in front of Prime Minister An. Before Prime Minister An could react, the arrow perfectly pierced through Prime Minister Ans chest. The entire arrow passed through Prime Minister Ans chest. One can imagine the power of the force behind this arrow.
Prime Minister An stared disbelievingly at his punctured chest, bright red blood spilling out the corner of his lips. He stared, unresigned, at Feng Yi Xuan, wanting to say something, but helpless he was to say anything. He could only re with eyes wide-open as he toppled over, dying with grievances.
Many soldiers who were still resisting, seeing Prime Minister An dead, were in disarray.
Father! An Gong Jing watched as his father fell at his side, painfully wailing. Seeing there werent many soldiers left by his side, he knew he has already lost. There was no future for their An n.
Feng Shao Chu suddenly stood out, Uncle, you people dare to transgress against your superiors! Surrender yourself now!
Looking at Feng Shao Chu, An Gong Jing knew he was being abandoned by this nephew. Seeing Feng Shao Chu disregarded their An ns well-being, An Gong Jing was filled with disappointment. They revolted today for who? Wasnt it so they can push Feng Shao Chu up the throne? But Feng Shao Chu stood by Emperor Feng Xuans side, not affected at all. An Gong Jing was unresigned. Why? They will have nothing; theyll even lose their lives, but Feng Shao Chu could sleep infort. He wanted to drag this nephew down with him!
Feng Shao Chu could tell An Gong Jing wanted to drag him down in an instant. He couldnt let his uncle expose his ambitions, so...
Feng Shao Chu picked up a guards sword, his mouth shouting, Since you arent willing to repent, then dont me benwang for upholding righteousness above family! Feng Shao Chu came over to An Gong Jing. How were the already exhausted An Gong Jing and his soldiers Feng Shao Chus opponent? Not giving An Gong Jing a chance to speak, Feng Shao Chu ended An Gong Jings life with a strike of his sword.
Seeing Feng Shao Chus move, Feng Xia Qis eyes shed. Jing Wu Ans lips curled up in a sneer. They knew this pce coup cant get away from being linked to Feng Shao Chu. Most likely, Feng Shao Chu was the one to n this pce coup. But seeing Feng Shao Chus straightforward actions, they knew they couldnt drag Feng Shao Chu down.
Father, subject-son is guilty! Feng Shao Chu put down the sword, kneeling at Emperor Feng Xuans feet.
Did Emperor Feng Xuan really not know this matter was connected to Feng Shao Chu? No, of course Feng Xuan knew, but as an Emperor, under the current circumstances, without any evidence, he couldnt do anything like killing his own child. So Emperor Feng Xuan solemnly asked his son, What are you guilty of?
Hearing Feng Xuans words, Feng Shao Chu knew his Imperial Father suspected him, but Feng Shao Chu wasnt afraid, Imperial Father, subject-son wasnt able to uncover these traitors scheme. Its subject-sons fault. And these rebels are subject-sons grandfather and uncle, thus subject-son cant be absolved of me!
Enough! Emperor Feng Shao broke off Feng Shao Chus words and looked at Feng Xia Qi, The following matters will dealt with by fourth wangye. None of the rebels are allowed to get away! Ministers, you got a scare today. Lan Jian Jun, take the guards and send all the ministers out of the pce!
Yes! Feng Xia Qi and Lan Jian Jun received the imperial orders.
Those ministers whose legs have turned into jelly from fright were eager to flee from the pce. One after the other left the pce after salutations.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at the traces of blood on Lan You Nians clothes. Without bidding farewell, he took Lan You Nian and left the pce, leaving An Yi to head Ming army to handle the remaining matters.
Leaving only the piles of corpses and blood everywhere, as well as the lingering gloomy haze...
Chapter 206 - 206 The Fall of An Clan
206 The Fall of An n
Ever since the pce coup, the people at high ministerial positions in the capital were in a panic, in fear that they will be cracked down on. Ever since that day, the court has begun to change blood. Many of the ministers of the Prime Ministers faction fell off their horses. All of the men of An n were beheaded while all the women were escorted to the borders to be military prostitutes. Military prostitutes didnt live past a few days.
Empress An Qian Mei was stripped of her position as Empress and banished to the Cold Pce. To everyones surprise, the Empress was found to havemitted suicide in the Cold Pce a few dayster. Before her death, the Empress wrote an apology letter, begging the Emperor to not implicate her son Feng Shao Chu. In the posthumous letter, Feng Shao Chu was innocent.
However, Lan You Nian them knew the Empress didntmit suicide but was choked to death by her son Feng Shao Chu. As of now, the Empress could no longer provide Feng Shao Chu any assistance but has be a stain on Feng Shao Chu, thus Feng Shao Chu killed the Empress. Then, he forged the suicide note, making him the most innocent person.
Though Feng Shao Chus move was cruel, it cant be denied this move cleaned him of this whole incident. Even though he no longer had any forces or backing, at the very least, his life was still intact, even his title of wangye was untouched.
Young miss, when are we going to Jiangnan? Lan Wu boringly slumped in the pavilion, fiddling with the handkerchief was embroidered for Lan You Nian. Though all of Lan You Nians things were prepared by Feng Yi Xuan, as Lan You Nians handmaiden, Lan Qu and Lan Wu still embroidered some things for Lan You Nian from time to time.
Lan You Nian looked at the closed windows, a little bored. Winter has yet to pass. The whole of the capital was a world of ice and snow. She couldnt stay any longer herself. More importantly, Heaven Tear Hearts whereabouts has been discovered. Even more important, Wu Qing Pavilion has found out the other force searching for Heaven Tear Heart was Ghost Realms people. Lan You Nian knew a little about Ghost Realm. This assassin organization was very mysterious but also very powerful, so Lan You Nian must find Heaven Tear Heart before Ghost Realm.
In a few days, well be departing for Jiangnan. You go prepare everything beforehand! Lan You Nian ordered. She hasnt mentioned this matter to Feng Yi Xuan yet, so shell be discussing this with Feng Yi Xuan tonight and then depart.
At this moment, Lan Ren and Lan Feng returned. Even Gui San came. Lan You Nian was surprised. Usually, it was she who went to Xiao Jin Pavilion to find third brother. Third brother usually very rarely came to Lan manor to find her. It looks like something has happened.
Third brother! Lan You Nian smilingly poured flower tea for the three people and asked, What has happened?
Gui San took a sip of the steaming flower tea, feeling his entire body warm up, and said, Many of our Wu Qing Pavilions businesses have been suppressed. Though no one was hurt, there was a loss of a portion of the property.
Suppressed? Lan You Nian chewed on this. There have been many people who came to provoke Wu Qing Pavilion over the years but no one party has been able to aplish suppression. With Wu Qing Pavilions power in front of them, who would brazenly do so?
Gui San them heard Lan You Nians tone and knew Lan You Nian was beginning to be displeased. After all, Wu Qing Pavilion was founded by her. Now there was someone who tantly provoked them. No matter what was said, it was pping Lan You Nian in the face.
As long as everyone is fine! Lan You Nian was a good master. From the very start, her requirement for her subordinates was their loyalty. If they were loyal, Lan You Nian will consider them her own people. For Lan You Nian, her own people must stay alive. The loss of money was a minor matter but their lives cant be lost.
Have you found who the guilty party is? Lan You Nian lifted the teacup, catching a whiff of the flower teas fragrance.
Ghost Realm! Gui San said, brows furrowing. This matter was very tricky. If it was any ordinary forces, Gui San wouldnt even tell Lan You Nian to bring her unnecessary troubles, but would directly deal with them. But the one suppressing their Wu Qing Pavilion was Ghost Realm, the assassin organization that made peoples face change from mentioning it. Gui San had to be cautious. What puzzled Gui San was that Ghost Realm didnt use all its strength suppressing Wu Qing Pavilion, nor did they hurt anyone as if they were merely giving Wu Qing Pavilion some troublesome matters to deal with. This kind of approach left Gui San puzzled.
Lan You Nians brows furrowed hearing this. She didnt expect it to be Ghost Realm. Not only did Ghost Realm waspeting with her for Heaven Tear Heart, but they also looked for trouble with Wu Qing Pavilion. Why? Lan You Nian asked her and didnt think she had any involvement with Ghost Realm. More importantly, when Wu Qing Pavilion went up against Ghost Realm, she had her subordinates to avoid if possible. It looks like there was something strange about this matter.
Is the loss serious? Lan You Nian asked Lan Feng, for it was Lan Feng who handled matters of this nature. Lan You Nian was a master who knew how to use people well, so she was very rxed in thest two years.
Lan Feng carefully thought it over and said, Its nothing serious. Its just a little tiff really. It hasnt shaken Wu Qing Pavilion!
Lan You Nian closed her beautiful eyes. After a moment, she said, Despite our Wu Qing Pavilion not provoking Ghost Realm, if Ghost Realm provokes us, then dont be afraid. Those who dare to find trouble with Wu Qing Pavilion need to have a realization of blood!
Understood! Lan Feng and Lan Ren nodded in affirmation. They were fed up with Ghost Realm for suppressing Wu Qing Pavilion for no reason thest few days and when their Wu Qing Pavilion wanted to kill someone, they would disappear. It really made ones head hurt. Now they had young misss orders, they were finally going to show their ruthlessness.
Third brother, I will be going to Jiangnan. I will have to trouble you with Wu Qing Pavilions matters. I also wrote a letter to fourth brother. In a few days, fourth brother will leave the valley to help you! Lan You Nian said. It was troubled times right now and with Ghost Realm mixed in, she was more or less worried. Though fourth brother was aloof, he was actually very meticulous. Besides, fourth brother already managed all aspects of intelligence. With fourth brother in the capital helping around, she would be at ease.
Alright, dont worry, I will definitely guard Wu Qing Pavilion. You can go get Heaven Tear Heart without worries! Gui San tapped Lan You Nians forehead with his fan. Even if it was Ghost Realm, they werent afraid. They must guard little junior sisters Wu Qing Pavilion.
No, though Wu Qing Pavilion is important, your lives are more important! There is no need to get hurt because of some worldly objects! Lan You Nian said sternly. She only founded Wu Qing Pavilion to protect the people she cared for, so she refused to allow her loved ones to risk danger for some forces.
Third brother knows! Gui San nodded. His little sister, though indifferent and cruel, had a warm heart towards her own people.
The few of them peacefully sipped on flower tea after their discussion was over. Suddenly Lan Wu said, Young miss, today seems to be the day the women of An manor are being escorted to the military camps. The streets should be bustling with activity. Should we go to watch? Lan Wu not only said this because she was fascinated by all fun matters and obsessed with y, more importantly, but she also heard An Si Yan wanted to harm young miss in the pce, so the vengeful Lan Wu wanted to see the ending of the enemy.
Alright! Lan You Nian nodded. She didnt put An Si Yan in her eye but she wasnt soft when ites to hitting her enemy when theyre down.
After settling on this, they secretly boarded the carriage and left through the back doors of Lan manor. Though the Empresss faction has already been eradicated, Lan You Nian was still a female, if she was to walk out the doors or was to attend an event with Gui San, it will more or less lead to being maligned. Lan You Nian didnt care for her reputation but Gui San they cared.
Lan You Nian them entered Zhen Wei Pavilion entered the back doors without anyone knowing. They walked up Zhen Wei Pavilions third floor. Zhen Wei Pavilion was overcrowded today. Prime Minister manor has now fallen. Prime Minister manors women were to serve as military prostitutes. Today they will be escorting them through this street. All people enjoyed gossip, so on both sides of the street, there were many people watching the show.
Lan You Nian them sat in the box on the third floor that was specifically reserved for them. Lan You Nian currently stood at the window still, overlooking the entire scenery of the streets. One could even see all the people discussing the Prime Ministers actions. Perhaps there were many patriotic people, many schrs disdained An manors action, jointly hating Prime Ministers women.
It didnt surprise Lan You Nian there were patriotic citizens in the capital. After ascending the throne, Emperor Feng Xuan has always ruled Feng country very well nor was there any excessive taxation. Themon people lived quite happily. And with Feng Yi Xuan and Lan Jian Jun holding the fort at the borders, there has not been a city lost all these years. This for themon people could be said to be a very good homnd. So when someone wanted to break this bnce, themon people will naturally be angry.
Lan Qu left the box for just a few moments before carrying some food and said to Lan You Nian, Young miss, fourth wangye and Princess Bai Lian are at the box on the second floor. Should we invite them?
Lan You Nian withdrew her gaze, shaking her head. Whether they had love between them, from Lan You Nians observation through thest few days, the two of them got along very well. This was good. Not every person could find someone to love them to the bones.
Theyre here! Gui San eximed looking at the streets off in the distance. Lan You Nian followed his line of sight.
On the streets, several guards carrying des oversaw several tens of women walking slowly on the streets. These womens hands and feet were buckled by chains, giving off ear-piercing noise as they walked. All of the women had looks of despair.
With a look, Lan You Nian saw An Si Yan walking amongst the crowd. An Si Yans current state was simply too eye-catching. An Si Yan wore a ripped dress of indiscernible color that already exposed skin. Not only was one arm drooping, but the wounds on the arm was also simply bandaged. From the looks of it, it was starting to inme. The once arrogant look was out of sight, only leaving the cowardice to evade. But what surprised Lan You Nian was An Si Yans face was gouged with a gash, appearing very horrifying. Even if she went to the military camp, probably no one will touch her.
Whats this? Lan You Nian asked. In the dungeons, usually, torture was not allowed. No one dared to use torture, unless...
Lan Ren nced at An Si Yans indistinguishable face, replying, It was done by An Yi.
An Yi? Lan You Nian was puzzled.
Gui San instantly understood, It looks like Ming wang knew of this womans evil designs for little junior sister, so he let An Yi ruin the face she was so proud of! Gui San had to admit this Ming wang really put little junior sister in his heart. He wont let go of anyone who hurt little junior sister or wanted to hurt little junior sister.
Lan You Nian felt warm hearing this, thinking that no matter how beautiful the scenery was outside, it couldntpare to Feng Yi Xuans embrace. Lan You Nian said to Lan Ren, Send people to follow An Si Yan. Ensure she experiences pain before dying! Lan You Nian wont leave any future troubles for her, so she needed to know her enemy was about to die.
Lan You Nian then said to Lan Qu, You guys go y outside. Im going to look for Xuan!
Hmph! Sure enough, a girl that cant be kept! Gui San grumbled sourly. Not only was the little sheep their family raised carried off by a big bad wolf, but this little sheep also presented herself at the persons mouth. Gui San was vexed but could do nothing about it.
Lan You Nian giggled at hearing Gui Sans words and without turning her head, she left Zhen Wei Pavilion to find Feng Yi Xuan.
Knowing Feng Yi Xuan was at the military camp, Lan You Nian didnt head for Ming wang manor but directly flew towards the military camp Feng Yi Xuan was at. Though Lan You Nian hasnt gone to Feng Yi Xuans military camp before, she knew where the camp was at, for whenever Feng Yi Xuan handled matters, he never kept anything from her.
When Lan You Nian came to the capitals southern suburbs military camp, there was an armored soldier who immediately blocked her way, his tone deterring, This is a military area. Leave immediately! If he didnt look at Lan You Nians frail appearance, this soldier would have made a move or have arrested Lan You Nian as a spy. It had to be said, a face was the best weapon.
Lan You Nian blinked. She didnt consider it wasnt appropriate for a woman toe here but since she came, of course, she must see Feng Yi Xuan. Lan You Nian pondered over it and took out the jade pendant Feng Yi Xuan gave her, wanting to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, as soon as those soldiers saw the jade pendant, they knelt ceremoniously, respectfully saying, Greetings to Ming wangfei!
Lan You Nian nodded, asking, Wheres Ming wang?
Ming wang went to train the Ming soldiers. We ask Ming wangfei to wait in the tent! A soldier said bringing Lan You Nian into the training camps. Before they arrived at Feng Yi Xuans tent, they saw An Yi who was handling affairs.
An Yi was surprised to see Lan You Nian as he hastily ran over to Lan You Nian to greet her, Wangfei!
Lan You Nian nodded smiling, asking, Why can this jade pendant allow me to enter the military camp?
An Yi led Lan You Nian in the direction of Ming army, answering, Wangfei isnt aware, seeing this jade pendant is like seeing wangye. Besides, wangye already passed down the notice that if wangfei came, its the same as wangye. No one is allowed to obstruct!
Lan You Nian was surprised. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to have given her such great authority, for the military area wasnt an ordinary ce.
Following An Yi some ways, they finally arrived at an open-spaced mountain forest. The terrain here was very good. It was difficult to attack. It was a very good ce to station troops. From far away, Lan You Nian saw him standing with his back facing her as he overlooked Ming soldiers training. His build was lean, wearing a ck cloud patterned brocade robe with a jade belt girdling his waist, and the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with silver-threaded floating cloud patterns on the hem. Though Lan You Nian only saw the silhouette of Feng Yi Xuans back, she could still imagine Feng Yi Xuans fearless face, cold hard lines but stunningly handsome. His thin lips most definitely were tightly pressed together. From far away, one would feel his entire person emitted a regal air.
Feng Yi Xuan was currently overlooking three thousand members of Ming army, watching as they all trained. When he saw a Ming soldiers technique was wrong, Feng Yi Xuan directly beat the Ming soldier up until his face was swollen and had the Ming soldier remember the correct technique at the same time.
Right at this moment, some Ming soldiers noticed Lan You Nian who was standing there. On the day of the pce coup, they saw the legendary wangfei. Afterward, many Ming soldiers saw with their own eyes Lan You Nians skill. Now in Ming army, their esteem for this Ming wangfei was very high. They all felt just the fact wangfei a petite woman could take down Ming wang was worthy of their admiration.
Winters sunlight shined on Lan You Nians cheeks, reflecting her fair and radiant skin more rosy and transparent. Her long hair obediently draped down her back. Her curly eyshes lifted slightly. She was like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world from the Moon Pce, elegant and refined and lovable.
Because they noticed wangfei, many Ming soldiers who were training were distracted. Feng Yi Xuans entire person filled with violence, making the Ming soldiers afraid.
A brave Ming soldier who was Ming armysmander called Mo Qing looked behind Feng Yi Xuan, saying, Wangye, wangfei...
Mo Qings words werent finished yet when they saw Feng Yi Xuans head whip back and in a blink of an eye flew over to Lan You Nians side. Then under Ming armys wide-mouthed horrified gaze, they saw their expressionless wangye be gentle, even tightening wangfeis clothes. His whole person looked like a gentle good man. Where was his iron-blooded and ruthless look when training them? If they havent had their eyes on him all this time, they would think their wangye was being impersonated.
Why are you here? Its so cold. If theres a problem, just let the shadow guards inform me! Feng Yi Xuan cupped Lan You Nians red hands in his broad hands, huffing his warm breath on them, his eyes filled with feeling.
Lan You Nian allowed Feng Yi Xuan to warm her hands, saying, I missed you so I came!
Feng Yi Xuan let bloom a smile of joy when he heard these words. Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuan smile and a smile pulled on her own lips, but the Ming soldiers seemed as if they saw a ghost. Shit, wangye actually smiled? Everyone rubbed their eyes, admiring Lan You Nian even more.
Many of the Ming soldiers saluted Lan You Nian, the sound rocking mountains and rivers, Greeting wangfei!
Lan You Nian offered a soft smile. Before she could say anything, she was picked up by Feng Yi Xuan and carried away. Lan You Nian could only reach out her small hand to wave her hand at them.
Chapter 207 - Unexpected Relationship (2)
Chapter 207 Unexpected Rtionship (2)
On Zhen Wei Pavilions second floor parlor, Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian sat across from one another. As the two man and woman with stunning good looks, the two of them were a feast to the eyes, that is, if you ignore the other woman present in the room.
Because Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lians marriage has been made public, the two of them sat down together in Zhen Wei Pavilion to discuss matters of their wedding. Though Feng Xia Qi had no romantic love for Yue Bai Lian, he had feelings of friendship for her. He respected Yue Bai Lian very much, so he hoped Yue Bai Lian will propose some suggestions. He didnt expect to encounter the daughter of the secretary of the Ministry of Defense at Zhen Wei Pavilion.
Qiao Yan Ran was the illegitimate daughter of the Secretary of the Ministry of Defense, but because of her outstanding good looks, she was rtively reputable in the capital. Qiao Yan Ran has been enamored with Feng Xia Qi for years; however, Feng Xia Qi didnt feel anything for her at all. Though he was always gentlemanly, there wasnt any warmth.
Though Qiao Yan Ran knew fourth wangye had no feelings for her, she still silently liked him, thinking that even if her status didnt allow her to be fourth wangyes main consort, the position of side consort was still obtainable. But what pained Qiao Yan Ran was that fourth wangye was about to marry this Princess Bai Lian. Qiao Yan Ran was very much aware of Princess Bai Lians beauty and talents. If fourth wangye really married Princess Bai Lian, the likelihood of her entering fourth wangye manor was too slim.
At court, the loudest voices for the Crown Prince candidate was fourth wangye. If there werent any idents, fourth wangye was to the Crown Prince. So Qiao Yan Ran stood guard outside fourth wangye manor and followed to Zhen Wei Pavilion, watching as fourth wangye and Princess Bai Lian entered the parlor. She pretended to have a coincidental encounter by entering the parlor.
Though neither fourth wangye and Princess Bai Lian spoke, the atmosphere was harmonious, making Qiao Yan Ran jealous. She forced a smile onto her lips to make herself even more beautiful, discreetly shifting over to Feng Xia Qis side, Does fourth wangye like taste tea? This girl has learned some skills for brewing tea. Would fourth wangye condescend to have a taste?
How could Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian not make out Qiao Yan Rans intentions? But they both considered Feng countrys court was withering at the moment and the secretary of the ministry of defense was a highly important position, so Feng Xia Qi nodded, smiling, Then benwang will have a taste!
Qiao Yan Ran was thrilled. Taking a peek at Yue Bai Lian, she didnt see any signs of jealous from Yue Bai Lian. Qiao Yan Ran thought, this Princess Bai Lian was indeed something to not even be angry. She would be difficult to deal with should she enter fourth wangye manor.
What Qiao Yan Ran doesnt know was Yue Bai Lian didnt love Feng Xia Qi. The twos marriage was more like a pact, so why would she be jealous?
Qiao Yan Ran had the server boy serve some steaming hot water and quality tea leaves. Sitting at the table to begin brewing tea, Qiao Yan Ran shyly asked Yue Bai Lian, Can I bother Princess Bai Lian to get the cup for this girl?
Yue Bai Lian nodded, bringing the cup over to Qiao Yan Ran. Qiao Yan Ran smiled, This girls skill with brewing tea isnt that good. Im always clumsy, so can I ask Princess Bai Lian to lend a hand? This girl will be eternally grateful!
Yue Bai Lian nodded, her posture graceful as she sat beside Qiao Yan Ran. Yue Bai Lians head was adorned with a gold eight treasure headdress, strung with five sun phoenix pearl hairpins. The skirt was girdled with a green sash, weighed down by two rose pendants. She wore a red jacket with golden butterflies and flowers with a multicolored outer coat with silver-blue threads. Underneath was an emerald green flower skirt. Paired together, it made her appear peerless in beauty. The moment she sat down beside Qiao Yan Ran, it became obvious which one was better than the other.
Qiao Yan Ran was jealous of Yue Bai Lian being more beautiful than her and she noticed fourth wangyes gaze never drifted away from Yue Bai Lian onto her. Qiao Yan Rans eyes shed with resentment and resolutely continued to brew tea.
Sorry, sorry! Qiao Yan Ran identally overturned the tea on the table which got Yue Bai Lians sleeve wet. The dark tea stain made Yue Bai Lians dress appear even dirtier.
Its nothing! Yue Bai Lian said without batting an eysh. How could she not tell this was Qiao Yan Rans cheap trick? Having stayed at Xiao Jin Pavilion for so many years, shes seen a lot of these cheap tricks. Though disdained to use them, she was very much aware of them.
This... Qiao Yan Ran said apologetically, How about I let my servant girl take Princess Bai Lian to clean up?
Wu Qing Pavilions restaurant and such ces had bathrooms and ces to wash up at. Lan You Nian had had people add these. Now many restaurants had these ces.
Yue Bai Lian nced at Feng Xia Qi and then nodded. She curtsied to Feng Xia Qi and left the room.
Seeing Yue Bai Lian leave, Qiao Yan Ran was exhrated. After brewing the tea, she offered it to Feng Xia Qi, softly saying, This girls skill isnt refined, so I ask fourth wangye not to disdain!
Feng Xia Qi lifted the lid of the teacup and saw the tea was very well brewed. It appears Qiao Yan Ran has made great effort to learn the art of tea. Her tea brewing skills were quite simr to Lan You Nian but it was still miles away from Lan You Nians.
Maybe because the tea was somewhat simr, Feng Xia Qi absentmindedly drank the tea, not really tasting tea but gulping it down, as if memorializing the unobtainable love in his heart.
Qiao Yan Ran saw Feng Xia Qi drink the tea, glee and joy shing across her eyes. Without blinking, she stared at Feng Xia Qi. Sure enough...
It didnt take a while before Feng Xia Qi felt his entire body burning up. The change in his lower half made Feng Xia Qi instantly understand. Feng Xia Qi wasnt Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan has never touched a woman but Feng Xia Qi had a tongfang maidservant teach these matters when he came of age. After Feng Xia Qi knew of the matters, he sent the tongfang maidservant away. He wasnt a lustful person, so he didnt have a tongfang maidservant or any concubines. At this moment, Feng Xiq Qi understood he has ingested an aphrodisiac drug.
Feng Xia Qis eyes were red as they glowered at Qiao Yan Ran. He didnt expect this woman to be so bold. Feng Xia Qis entire body was starting to be unbearably hot. He knew he will most likely possess this woman today.
At this very moment, the doors of the parlor opened from outside. Yue Bai Lian walked in. When Yue Bai Lian saw Feng Xia Qi, she knew he has ingested some aphrodisiac and it was a very poor quality aphrodisiac that must be cured through a woman.
After Yue Bai Lian cleaned up her clothes and was about to return to the parlor, she noticed the servant girl kept, consciously or unconsciously, stopping her. Yue Bai Lian feared something had happened to Feng Xia Qi, so she knocked the servant girl unconscious with a rod, and hurried back to see this scene appear before her.
You! Qiao Yan Ran didnt expect Yue Bai Lian to return so quickly. She thought once a rtionship has happened between her and fourth wangye, even if Yue Bai Lian came in, there would be nothing she could do about it, for fourth wangye must marry her. But now Qiao Yan Ran was fearful.
Yue Bai Lian threw Qiao Yan Ran out of the room and told the steward of Zhen Wei Pavilion to watch Qiao Yan Ran. Zhen Wei Pavilions steward knew of Princess Bai Lians identity and didnt dare to slight her and agreed.
When Yue Bai Lian went back into the parlor, she noticed Feng Xia Qi was bing less clear-headed. His face was flushed red as the robes on his body has been pulled in disarray, exposing the white chest. Still, Feng Xia Qi forced himself to remain sober, saying to Yue Bai Lian, Quick, leave!
Yue Bai Lian, from observing Feng Xia Qi, knew Qiao Yan Ran gave Feng Xia Qi a heavy dose of aphrodisiac. If Feng Xia Qi didnt find a woman to cure the drug, though it may not be a danger to his life, his martial arts will be lost. Where can one find a woman at a time like this?
Yue Bai Lian sucked in a deep breath and made a daring decision. She closed up all the windows.
Go! Feng Xia Qi shouted as his head became more muddled. He really didnt want to hurt Yue Bai Lian, this woman who was like a white lotus. But if Yue Bai Lian doesnt leave, he couldnt guarantee he could hold himself back.
Yue Bai Lian walked over to Feng Xia Qi, forcing herself to remain calm as she said, You must cure the aphrodisiac immediately. If toote, you will lose all your martial arts. We are going to be husband and wife so you dont need to be burdened. We must cross this step eventually.
Actually, Yue Bai Lian had truly considered what would happen once they married. Yue Bai Lian has feared intercourse needed to happen between them. Shes even made the decision she wont have any intimate rtions with Feng Xia Qi. But even the bestid ns cant keep up with changes. Reality made her helpless to take this step.
I... Feng Xia Qi looked at Yue Bai Lian. How could he not know they needed to cross this step? But...
Xia Qi, we will be husband and wife. We both have the same goal to protect Nianer, so its fine! Yue Bai Lian said smiling. Shes already prepared herself to give herself to this man. Wasnt this the best choice?
Feng Xia Qi has already lost all reason from the aphrodisiac as he pulled Yue Bai Lian into his arms and tumbled onto the couch in the room, beginning a chaotic plundering...
Chapter 208 - You’re Most Important
Chapter 208 Youre Most Important
After several hours have passed, Feng Xia Qi woke up and found himself stark naked, while sleeping beside him was Yue Bai Lian who fainted from being tormented by him.
Feng Xia Qi entire body gave off a murderous air. He didnt expect to be caught in a womans scheme. This Qiao Yan Ran deserved to die! Feng Xia Qi gently picked up Yue Bai Lian and helped put on her clothes. This matter today took Feng Xia Qi by surprise. For many years, besides touching that tongfang* maid that one time, he didnt touch another woman. Today was the first time touching a woman in many years. Feng Yi Xuans heart filled with guilt towards Yue Bai Lian.
(T/N: tongfang maid is a maid specifically reserved for a man to learn bed matters with)
Feng Xia Qi held Yue Bai Lian in his arms, sitting motionlessly as he waited. After some time has passed, Yue Bai Lian finally woke up.
As Yue Bai Lian stirred, she felt an intense pain in her body. It wasnt that Feng Xia Qi didnt know to have a tender heart for women, but because Feng Yi Xuan was under the control of the aphrodisiac, he couldnt control himself so he relentlessly tormented Yue Bai Lian, making her faint.
Yue Bai Lian opened her eyes to an attractive face. That pair of fox-like eyes were filled with guilt and regret as they gazed at her. Yue Bai Lian shifted her body, noticing she was being held in Feng Xia Qis arms. She knew she couldnt move so she didnt act bashful.
Youre awake? Feng Xia Qi carried a cup of already cold tea to Yue Bai Lians lips and watched as she finished before saying, Bai Lian, sorry! Feng Xia Qi had never apologized to a woman before. Towards Yue Bai Lian, he was filled with apology.
Yue Bai Lian smiled. Actually, the moment when Feng Xia Qi took her, she cried, not only because of her pain but also because of her hopeless love. But now looking at Feng Xia Qi, Yue Bai Lian didnt feel like it was so hard to ept.
Im fine! Yue Bai Lian cracked a smile and pulled on Feng Xia Qis hand, saying, Were bound to have to pass this stage. This is good; otherwise, without today, who knows when we will step out of this. Xia Qi, you dont need to feel guilty or ill at ease, neither of us does. We already talked it over didnt we?
Feng Xia Qi hugged Yue Bai Lian. Though he didnt feel love for her, she gave him a feeling of family. Such a woman was difficult not to like. If he didnt meet Lan You Nian, Feng Xia Qi felt he would fall in love with Yue Bai Lian. But there wasnt what if in this world. He still doesnt love Yue Bai Lian. Perhaps in this life he wont fall in love with Yue Bai Lian, just like Yue Bai Lian wont fall in love with him. But he was certain his feelings for Yue Bai Lian was much more intimate than friends, more like a family.
Bai Lian, from now on, youre my, Feng Yi Xuans, wife! Feng Xia Qi said seriously, There isnt any consorts in fourth wangye manor, neither will there be in the future. This is my respect for you, not because of guilt, but because I cant give you love, nor can you give me love. We will mutually respect and care for one another. That way, we can mutually support one another till the end of our lives!
Yue Bai Lian was a little shocked by Feng Xia Qis words. She already prepared for the appearance of a lot of women in the manor after she married Feng Xia Qi. Because it wasnt love, she could ept it. But hearing Feng Xia Qis vow, it meant they were family, family that cared for each other, partners who stood side by side-this was very good.
I, Yue Bai Lian, will be you, Feng Yi Xuans, main consort. We will finish walking this lifetime. We will protect the one we want to protect! For the first time, Yue Bai Lians smile was without any pressure, like a blooming white lotus, unusually beautiful and charming.
Since Ipromised you today, lets have our wedding much earlier! Feng Xia Qi set Yue Bai Lian who was feeling much better on the soft couch. After all, hes possessed Yue Bai Lians body before marriage, so the vermillion virginity mark was now gone. If they didnt marry early and someone was to know of it, who knows how they will nder Yue Bai Lian.
Alright, well just have simple wedding! Yue Bai Lian said. Its not because she didnt value this marriage but that she really didnt like such spectacles. For Yue Bai Lian, marriage was only a formality. She nor Feng Xia Qi cared for these meaningless things.
Alright!
This alright became an affection in history which people praised, an emperor and an empresss sincere affection...
Under the reluctant gaze of Lan Jian Jun and others, Lan You Nian mounted Ming wang manors carriage that was heading out to Jiangnan. Though this carriage belonged to Ming wang manor, it didnt have Ming wang manors insignia. Feng Yi Xuan had it madest month, just so he could go out with Nian Nian without exposing their identities, when they had time on their hands.
There werent many people in the entourage heading for Jiangnan. Lan You Nian brought Lan Qu and Lan Wu. Much earlier, Lan Ren and Lan Feng already departed for Jiangnan to search for the specific whereabouts of Heavens Tears Heart. As for Feng Yi Xuan, he only brought An Yi and An Si. But this was only on the surface. Feng Yi Xuans forces were immense, so there was nothing to worry about.
Following behind them were two more people. Riding on their steeds were Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li. Speaking of which, Jing Wu An had snuck out, for once Feng Yi Xuan left the capital, Feng Xia Qi would be even busier. If Jing Wu An were to leave too, he would be so busy itd give him a headache. At first, Jing Wu An didnt n to go to Jiangnan, but he couldnt hold back Yu Liu Li from wanting to go together with Lan You Nian them. So, Jing Wu An, this ck-bellied man, bolted with Yu Liu Li.
Amongst the group of people, there was only one carriage. Lan Qu and Lan Wu drove the carriage. The other people rode on horses. Originally, Lan You Nian wanted to ride on a horse, but it cant be helped Feng Yi Xuan thought it was too cold outside in winter and objected. Lan You Nian could only sorrowfully take a sink in the carriage.
Because of how they yed around as they traveled to Jiangnan, it will most likely take six to seven days to arrive at their destination. However, none of them were in a hurry as they traveled at a leisurely pace. Though Lan You Nian was on this trip for Heavens Tears Heart, at the same time, she really wanted to go to Jiangnan to have some fun, admiring the scenery along the way. From a certain viewpoint, Lan You Nian was a girl who loved her freedom.
Lan You Nian lifted the curtains of the carriage to take a look at the scenery outside, but Feng Yi Xuan dragged her back into his arms and meticulously pulled the curtains back. He looked at Lan You Nian with disapproval, Its cold outside. Once we cross the boundary, it will be warmer. At that time we can ride on horses alright?
Lan You Nian felt sometimes Feng Yi Xuan was even more fussy than a mother hen. But this fussiness gave Lan You Nian the feeling of being valued. She liked this feeling of Feng Yi Xuan always being so considerate of her.
Lan You Nian nodded, smiling, without a hint of displeasure. With nothing to do, Lan You Nian observed Ming wang manors new carriage. Lan You Nian noticed that any random cushion inside was made by the most prestigious seamstresses of the recent two years. Not only was it the cushions, all the embroidery in the carriage were so. The fabrics used were the rare embroidered silk brocade. Its unknown how many young misses and noble matrons of wealthy and influential families racked their brains to get their hands on one small bolt of the cloth. Even thedies and princesses of the imperial family, such woman with a noble statuses, might not even obtain one small bolt. But as Lan You Nian scanned the carriage, in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, they were practically worthless. If it werent for the fact Lan You Nian knew her stuff, she probably wont believe these to be embroidered silk brocade.
Another thing Lan You Nian noticed was that there were a lot of secretpartments in the carriage. Out of boredom, Lan You Nian opened a few of the hiddenpartments and found inside were all her favorite dried fruit snacks and her favorite tea leaves.
Xuan, were these all prepared by you? Lan You Nian asked in disbelief because she unwrapped the luggage bundle in the carriage and found menses pad inside, the type made by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans making of the menses pad went from the unsightliness at the beginning to the present fineness can be said to have gone through a lot of effort. Lan You Nian didnt pay attention to when her monthlies came, but Feng Yi Xuan remembered it clearly.
En! Feng Yi Xuan put the things away. In the past, he has never done such things. Many of his matters were handled by his hidden guards, but now he had Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuans possessiveness was overpowering. He wished everything of Nian Nians was done by him.
If it were any ordinary woman, they would probably tell Feng Yi Xuan not to do this anymore, but Lan You Nian didnt. She knew Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel bothered by doing these things. Since it was so, she wasnt worried at all. After all, they were the most intimate people. Lan You Nian luxuriated in this pampering and care, as well as this abnormal possessiveness.
Xuan, why are you so wonderful? Lan You Nian beamed as she fell onto the soft carpet of the carriage.
Feng Yi Xuan chuckled, tapping Lan You Nians nose, saying dotingly, I will always be good to you. I will treat you even better!
Lan You Nian suddenly thought of an absurd question. Naturally, she voiced it out, Xuan, if one day your mother and I fell into the river, neither of us can swim, who will you save first?
Once she said it out loud, Lan You Nian regretted it. Feng Yi Xuans mother seemed very important to him. For her to mention it, it seemed very impolite. As Lan You Nian was going to apologize, she found Feng Yi Xuan didnt show any upset. He didnt seem averse to this question.
In the past, Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt allow others to mention his Imperial Mother, but currently in his life, he already had a very important person. His life was brimming with sunlight and warmth, so he could frankly ept those questions. And the one to ask the question was Nian Nian, so Feng Yi Xuan didnt have any unhappiness.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt give it much thought before answering, Save you!
Lan You Nian was surprised, for this question was difficult to answer. She thought someone like Feng Yi Xuan would ask her why she would ask such a nonsensical question. But if she were to answer this question, she would, without hesitation, choose Feng Yi Xuan.
Hey, why? Lan You Nian was like a real curious girl as she peered wide-eyed at Feng Yi Xuan, making Feng Yi Xuans heart itch.
Feng Yi Xuan couldnt hold himself back from kissing Lan You Nians slightly pursed, red lips. It was just a short peck, not that he didnt want to deepen the kiss, but he was afraid his nonexistent control, when facing Lan You Nian, will make him do more. He didnt want the people outside to hear anything, so he could only restrain himself to a kiss.
Kissing the red lips he desired, Feng Yi Xuan sighed in pleasure, No reason. Just because Nian Nian you are my most important person! So important that youre more important than any other person, so important than youre even more important than my life.
Chapter 209 - 209 JiangNan
209 JiangNan
After seven days of sight-seeing and traveling, Feng Yi Xuan and entourage finally arrived at beautiful JiangNan.
They stopped by the river side which served as the boundary of JiangNan. On the opposite side, the mountains and rivers were like a pair of ck and white dragons that were interdependent on one another. In the gentle smoke and mist, a white crane leisurely soared, like a beautiful celestial patrolling the mountains. What delighted Lan You Nian even more was that warm sunlight of JiangNan, and huts along the rivers andkes giving off a peaceful feeling.
So beautiful! Lan Wu jumped off her horse, eximing. At this moment, Lan Wu didnt have any femininity and acted like a crazy girl, but Lan You Nian didnt show any attempt at stopping her. Standing beside the carriage, An Yis eyes were smiling.
Because theyre at JiangNan, everyone changed into some lighter clothing. They disguised as ordinary young masters and misses of merchant backgrounding out to amuse themselves. That way they wont be so eye-catching, for a ce like JiangNan was the preferred ce for many people to go sight-seeing.
Hearing Lan Wus exmation, Lan You Nian couldnt help ducking out of the carriage. Sure enough, the scent of fresh green intermixed with a flowery fragrance assaulted her nose. From all directions, finely-made winsome pavilion-towers, simple and elegant bamboo lofts, maintaining a harmonious atmosphere with nature. Lan You Nian fell in love with this warm feeling, but she only liked it and didnt pine for it. No matter how beautiful this ce was, without loved ones there, no one would have the desire to stay.
Once Lan You Nian exited the carriage, Feng Yi Xuan did the same. The twos looks were top-notch. Fortunately, the ce their carriage stopped at wasnt a busy street; otherwise, who knows how many people it will provoke to covet after them. But even so, it still made many of the civilians passing by them were dumbfounded, believing they saw a pair of celestials.
Young miss, are we to rest at Wu Qing Inn? Lan Qu was much more self-restrained than Lan Wu. Even with the temptation of this kind of scenery, she still stood by the carriage awaiting Lan You Nians orders.
Wu Qing Pavilion had its own property in Jiangnan. There were many ces like inns and such. Lan Ren and Lan Feng were already staying at Wu Qing Inn investigating the whereabouts of Heavens Tear Heart. Lan You Nian thought they would be going to Wu Qing Inn but it was opposed by Feng Yi Xuan.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard Wu Qing Inn, he felt a faint displeasure, because the words Wu Qing made her think of Young Master Wu Qing. Thinking about Nian Nian living at his love rivals ce, Feng Yi Xuan felt the urge to destroy Wu Qing Inn.
Nian Nian Feng Yi Xuan grabbed Lan You Nians hand, saying a little urgently, Ive already prepared a residence. Everythings been prepared. Lets go there? Feng Yi Xuan didnt want his woman to live at another mans ce. He did actually had people prepare a residence when they departed. The ce was arranged ording to Nian Nians preference. Feng Yi Xuan hoped they will stay there for the time theyre there.
Lan You Nian didnt discover Feng Yi Xuans petty thoughts, neither did she object. Between the two of them, not only Feng Yi Xuan spoiled her unconditionally, at certain times, Lan You Nian put up with Feng Yi Xuan on everything. They were mutually considerate of one another.
Alright, well go to AXuans residence! Before Lan You Nian could offer her opnion, Yu Liu Li hastily spoke. He hade to Jiangnan in the past and knew Feng Yi Xuan had a property here. At that time, he wanted to stay there but didnt receive permission. For this, he got into a fight with Feng Yi Xuan; of course, the result was a bloody nose and swollen face.
For once, Feng Yi Xuan didnt give Yu Liu Li a cold look but looked at Lan You Nian with a smile on his face.
Lan You Nian nodded with a smile, Alright, its even more convenient to live at Xuans ce! Though it was her own ce, there were many inconveniences to living at the inn, for a lot of people came and went from it. If they were to go to Feng Yi Xuans ce, it would be much better. Lan You Nian trusted Feng Yi Xuans ce to be absolutely quiet.
Once they finished their discussion, Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan returned to the carriage. The group followed An Yi to Feng Yi Xuans residence in Jiangnan.
Lan You Nian had nothing to do inside the carriage; additionally, due to Jiangnans warm climate, Lan You Nian yfully stuffed a candied fruit that was ced in the carriage into Feng Yi Xuans mouth. Feng Yi Xuan especially disliked eating these sour and sweet foods, but if Lan You Nian personally fed him, he will dly ept. Even if it was poison, he wouldnt bat an eysh. But thest few days Lan You Nian has been feeding Feng Yi Xuan the candied fruits, Feng Yi Xuan felt his teeth were bing sour. Looking at the candied fruit at the tip of the fair fingertips, the veins on Feng Yi Xuans forehead bulged.
But even if his teeth were unbearably sour, Feng Yi Xuan still expressionlessly opened his mouth and consumed the candied fruit, even closed his mouth around Lan You Nians fingers, meticulously licking it.
The sensation that traveled from her fingers were like a electric current leaping into her heart, making Lan You Nian recoil for no reason; then, she shot Feng Yi Xuan a re. But the ring big eyes, not only did not have any power, were very seductive, making Feng Yi Xuan want to transform into a wolf.
Lan You Nian saw a purple light floating over Feng Yi Xuans eyes and hurriedly snatched her fingers back.
Just as Feng Yi Xuan was about to pull Lan You Nian for a kiss, an arrogant voice drifted in from outside, You people, this young is demands you to stop! The voice carried amanding tone which was obnoxious.
From the sounds of it, they were blocking the carriage so the already pulled over. Because the carriage suddenly stopped, Lan You Nian fell into Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan caught Lan You Nian in his arms with his sharp eyes and nimble hands, a smug smile curling up his lips.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu looked at the woman who was riding a horse and blocking their carriage. The reins were already put down as the womans horsewhip was pointed at Yu Liu Li and Jing Wu An who were riding beside the carriage, meaning the people she demanded to stop was those two.
Yu Liu Li and Jing Wu An pulled back on the reins, stopping their horse and looked at the arrogant and spoiled woman pointing at them. The twos face werent very good. The two had a higher status than normal people and have never countered a woman who dared to point at them andmand them.
Jing Wu An smiled distantly at the woman, asking, May I ask what this youngdy wants? They came out to sight-see, so Jing Wu An didnt want to cause any trouble. Jing Wu An was someone who always wears a smile on his face; otherwise, he wouldnt have be a military advisor at such a young age.
The woman nted her eyes, carefully scanning Jing Wu An and Yu Li Li and then with a charitable tone, she said to the two, This young miss has taken a liking to you two and allow you to be guards at this young misss home. You wont have to worry about eat and drink
With the womans words, not only was Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li were stunned, even An Yi and the others were shocked. The worlds number one vi master and the capitals well-respected Heir Jing be guards? In this world, whoses family had such a great ability to let the two be guards? This woman really talked big.
Lan You Nian was stunned by this womans unwarranted sense of superiority and discreetly lifted the carriage curtain to take a look at her. Entering into her eyes was a woman wearing a dark red overcoat with embroidered flowers, bright red corset skirt, a hibiscus hairstyle inserted with a pure gold peony buyao (hairpin), a pair of monolid phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth, wearing an arrogant smirk on her lips, which destroyed the beauty of that petite face.
Qian manors second young miss has taken a liking to them. These two young masters have a handsome face. What a waste! A matron by a stall said. Though her voice was small, those who had powerful martial arts were able to hear it clearly. From the looks of it, this Qian manor second young miss often did such a thing.
Hey, who knows how many times its happened this month. What a sin! Another matron whispered, looking at Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Lipassionately.
An Yi and An Si both rode steeds in front of the carriage. An Yi said could to the woman, Move! In An Yi and the others eyes, this woman could be easily killed. But they couldnt kill people without reason. And to do such a thing while on an outing will make the matriarch upset. Then, it would be a sin.
The woman nced at An Yi and said disdainfully, Your looks cant enter this young misss eyes. Take the two servant girls and leave. Leave those two behind. Otherwise, dont me this young miss for doing anything!
They really didnt know if the woman really was so ignorant. Jing Wu An and the others were riding horses. They were clearly circling a carriage. Without guessing, normal people will know that the masters were in the carriage but this woman didnt even mention it, as if she was the master of everything.
Seeing the woman insulting An Yi and An Si, Lan Wu couldnt sit still; that is to say, she really couldnt keep quiet; she merely found a chance to stand up right now and looked up and down at the woman, So ugly yet you stille out to dally with men. I say this young miss, are you so shameless or do you have no shame at all? You say others looks cant enter your eyes, why dont you look at yourself? Dont say enter their eyes, just standing there makes people feel disgust!
Lan Wu ranted without stop as she made the womanpletely worthless with her words. An Yi looked at Lan Wu who was standing up for him, giving her a smile; unfortunately, Lan Wu didnt see this ugly but sincere smile.
You, you slut! The woman shouted at her family servants, Beat up this sluts mouth. To dare speak to this young miss like that, you two bring those two men back. I want to see who dares to stop this young miss!
Feng Yi Xuans face was already to the freezing point but Lan You Nian didnt let him out. From the womans words, that woman liked good-looking men. With Feng Yi Xuans looks, the woman will be dazed from looking. Lan You Nian didnt like other people using those kind of eyes to look at Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan You Nian nted a kiss on Feng Yi Xuans thin lips, Youre not allowed to go out. Ill go take a look!
Knowing Lan You Nian was afraid of others looking at him, Feng Yi Xuan was ted, hating he couldnt take out a mask to cover up his face but thinking Lan You Nian didnt want him to go out, Feng Yi Xuan reallyid down in the carriage, taking the tea that Lan You Nian drank from, directly drinking from the lip mark.
Thisdy is really daring to touch my people! Lan You Nian came out from the carriage, her voice cold but couldnt conceal the fact it was melodious. Hearing this voice, everyone looked at the carriage.
Lan You Nian stood in front of the carriage, so beautiful it made people stop breathing. She wore a thin white silk jacket. On the sides of the cket, the drawstrings were loosely tied into a knot, the remainder string hung down, dancing with the wind. Her hair was done by Feng Yi Xuan into a three twist bun that nted slightly towards the right with a hollow carved crystal hairpin inserted in it. Her temples were decorated with two red spider lilies, two strands of hair hung down from the temples, thin as cicada wings.
At first nce, people only had one word for Lan You Nian: beautiful because one didnt know how to describe such beauty so one couldnt find any better words to describe her.
The woman was stunned by Lan You Nians beauty but aftering to her senses, she was overwhelmed with jealousy. She disliked any woman who was more beautiful than her, especially as Lan You Nian exceeded her greatly.
You are their master? the woman looked at Lan You Nian, This young miss is Jiangnan Qian familys second young miss. This young miss has taken a liking to these two people. If youre perceptive, youll give these two people to this young miss.
With her fingers, Lan You Nian straightened the hair by her ears, saying very leisurely, Give? Im afraid you afford it. Qian manors second young miss? Ill remember! Lan You Nian came out with a purpose. A few days ago, Lan Ren said Heavenly Tear Heart might be connected to Jiangnans Qian family. She didnt expect to encounter Qian family as soon as she arrived at Jiangnan.
Qian family was the richest family in Jiangnan. Not only were they rich, no one in Jiangnan dared to offend them. They can be considered the highest people in Jiangnan. Not even the government officials dared to casually offend them. It can be seen what Qian familys power was like. It was no wonder this Qian familys young miss would be so arrogant.
Who are you? a sliver of fear grew in the womans heart hearing Lan You Nians fearless tone. Lan You Nians aristocratic gestures were a regalness that she couldnt imitate. At the very least, she has never seen such a woman, so she couldnt help being a little afraid.
Who I am isnt important. Whats important is that this youngdy please move aside. Were in a hurry! Lan You Nian said and headed back into the carriage. The coldness emitting from the carriage was too obvious. Lan You Nian feared Feng Yi Xuan couldnt hold himself back froming out. It wouldnt be worthwhile for the woman to catch a look.
Capture those two for this young miss! the woman shouted angrily. Lan You Nians disregard of her made her feel humiliated. She must have those two men.
The moment Lan You Nian got back in the carriage, she said, An Yi, sort out these people. Dont cause any deaths! It wasnt Lan You Nian was kind by not killing anyone but rather she needed Heavenly Tear Hearts whereabouts. This woman might be a very good entry point.
Receiving Lan You Niansmand, he speedily threw the woman onto the roadside. Those family retainers were beat onto the ground by An Si. The crowd only saw An Yi and An Si beat those people down within a blink of an eye. They didnt even take out their weapons.
Lets go! Lan Wu jumped onto the carriage and they swiftly disappeared in Jiangnans noisy streets.
Chapter 210 - The Encounter
Chapter 210 The Encounter
The carriage traveled a distance before stopping on a quiet street in JiangNan.
Feng Yi Xuan pulled Lan You Nian down the carriage and walked into the residence in the salutation of the manservants. Lan You Nian observed the manservants dressed very inly, but she was certain these manservants had excellent deftness.
Entering the inner courtyard, that ingeniously and delicately wrought pavilions and towers, the quiet and beautiful corridors on water*, especially the carved dragon that wound around the ridges of the rooftops along the walls, its scales and ws striking, two whiskers flying, as if it was about to take off. As far as the eyes can reach, the trees in the garden in the courtyard were verdant and lush, rare flowers beaming brightly, a clear stream zigzagging amongst the flowers and trees, flowing from under a rift in a rock. Taking a few steps forward, gradually to the north, level and wide-open space, a tower soaring into the air on both sides, with exquisitely carved roof beams and decorative railings.
Do you like it? Feng Yi Xuan asked grinning. In fact, in JiangNan he had many residences, but this ce had the best scenery, so when he learned they were going to JiangNan, Feng Yi Xuan had his subordinates in JiangNan sweep and clean up this abode, and assigned many of Ghost Realms subordinates here disguised as manservants. Thus, the security was guaranteed.
Like it, like it very much! Yu Liu Li nodded excitedly. The decorations here were stunning, and he really liked the minimalistic style.
Jing Wu An could only drag Yu Liu Li away and follow the manservant to their own quarters. He didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to give the two of them a beating. Why isnt this Yu Liu Li able to read peoples faces? If he said any more, he feared theyll be chased out.
Watching as Jing Wu An drag Yu Liu Li away, Feng Yi Xuans face finally lightened. Lan You Nian beamed, Xuan, this ce is wonderful. I like it very much. This ce is a lot like the Medical Valley. It is very rxing! Lan You Nian spun around in the center of the garden, her mood improving.
As long as you like it! Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian to their master bedchamber. He shot Lan Wu and the others a look. The meaning was clear: they didnt need them waiting on them. He didnt like so many insensible people disturbing him after they finally came out to enjoy themselves.
Lan You Nian led Feng Yi Xuan to a room. Above the courtyard, in lively and vigorous flourishes of calligraphy were the words, You Nian Pavilion, the same name as her courtyard in Lan manor, making Lan You Nian feel intimate with this ce.
Walking into the room, the gauze drapes hung down, creating a hazy atmosphere. The surrounding walls were covered up by damask. Even the ceiling of the room was separated by an embroidered felt, both warm and fragrant. The furnishings of the room were all objects belonging to a young girls boudoir, extremely luxurious. An exquisitely carved bed iid with jade, brocade and embroidered quilts, there was even a little night pearl hanging on the curtain hook, emitting a faint delicate fragrance.
Because it was alreadyte in the afternoon, nearly nighttime, Lan You Nian took a nap while Feng Yi Xuan went out to handle a few matters.
As soon as Feng Yi Xuan walked out of the room, he noticed An Yi waiting there. Seeing Feng Yi Xuane out, An Yi immediately reported, Master, Ghost Realm has been cracking down on Wu Qing Pavilion as master ordered. At first, Wu Qing Pavilion gave way in each situation, but recently in thest few days, Wu Qing Pavilion has been resisting. Many of Ghost Realms brothers were at a disadvantage. Some were hurt!
Feng Yi Xuans shed sinisterly, a bone-piercing cold smile slid onto his lips, What a good Young Master Wu Qing. It seems hes going to confront Ghost Realm!
Master, from our inquiries, this Young Master Wu Qing also came to Jiangnan. It appears hes here for Heavens Tears Heart. Most likely, Young Master Wu Qing will also be going to Qian manor tonight. Master, should we do anything? An Yi asked. In the past, they quite admired this Young Master Wu Qing. To be able to expand Wu Qing Pavilion to such an extent in such a short time showed that this Young Master Wu Qing a character that was hard toe by. But now An Yi and the others only had abhorrence for this Young Master Wu Qing, for this man was most likely masters love rival.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with frost and said to An Yi, I will personally meet this Young Master Wu Qing tonight! For so long Feng Yi Xuan has only heard of this Young Master Wu Qing but has never seen him in person. Though he couldnt kill him, but...Feng Yi Xuans palm moved, one beating was still fine, wasnt it?
Yes! An Yi left to prepare, to let Ghost Realms brothers make preparations for tonight to give a blow to masters love rival.
At this moment in the room, Lan You Nian woke up. Lan Feng stood by the bed, Young miss, Ghost Realms attacks on us havent ceased. Third young master and fourth young master were already starting to resist. Ghost Realm came a few times to look for trouble but didnt gain the advantage. Some were even injured!
Lan You Nianid on her side on the bed, her eyes flooding with coldness, Since Ghost Realm dares to look for trouble with our Wu Qing Pavilion, then we cant let them go; otherwise, they really think our Wu Qing Pavilion is very easy to provoke! Tell third brother and fourth brother, if Ghost Realm backs off, dont pursue the matter. If Ghost Realm continues, theres nothing to fear!
Lan Feng nodded and said, Young miss, we received news that Ghost Realms Ghost Lord hase to Jiangnan as well. Hes most likely here for Heavens Tears Heart. More importantly, this Ghost Realms Ghost Lord will probably be going to Qian manor tonight. Young miss, what should we do?
If it were any other person, Lan Feng them were confident of their victory, but if their opponent was Ghost Realm, Lan Feng them really werent confident of sess. This Ghost Lord was as veiled in mystery as young misss Young Master Wu Qing. Lan Feng them have only heard of Ghost Lords powerful martial arts and cruelty and mercilessness. The people hes killed were too many to count. There were even rumors that Ghost Lord was a psychopath who killed people exclusively for pleasure.
Lan You Nian sat up. She didnt expect this Ghost Lord to personallye to Jiangnan. It appears Heavens Tears Heart was a must-have for this Ghost Lord. All these years, Wu Qing Pavilion and Ghost Realm have never intersected. Any information Lan You Nian received were all rumors about this Ghost Lord killing without batting an eysh.
Tonight I will personally go! Lan You Nian said severely. Though Lan Feng and Lan Rens martial arts were good,pared to that Ghost Lord, there ought to be some disparity. She didnt allow for her people to get injured because of her medicine.
Young miss! Lan Feng didnt approve. In their eyes, young miss was the most important. But Lan Feng knew once young miss had made her decision, there was no chance anyone can change her mind. Lan Feng only said, Ming wangs martial arts is very high. Its likely hes right up there with that Ghost Lord. Why dont young miss go together tonight with Ming wang?
Lan You Nian said without even considering it, No need! Meeting Lan Fengs disapproving gaze, Lan You Nian exined, We arent going to fight recklessly. If we cant beat them, we can run. In any case, I dont have any face to lose. Xuan is a countrys wangye. I dont want him to be drawn into the disputes of the pugilistic world because of me.
Though Lan Feng disapproved of her young misss decision, for Lan Feng believed Ming wang truly loved young miss, Ming wang would help young miss even if it meant being drawn into disputes, much much less being drawn into the disputes of the pugilistic world. But Lan Feng knew young miss loved Ming wang which was why she had she had such considerations.
Understood. I will mobilize Wu Qing Pavilions assassins to go with young miss tonight! Lan Feng left the room as soon as Lan You Nian gave a nod. When they came this time, they brought over Wu Qing Pavilions upper level assassins. These people were all those who had young misss trust, so bringing them will serve as ayer of protection for young miss.
The second Lan Feng left, Feng Yi Xuan entered the room. Of course he saw the just departed Lan Feng, but he and Nian Nian mutually respected one another. They didnt hide anything from the other person but neither did they interfere. Feng Yi Xuan was willing to give Nian Nian enough space to allow her to soar.
Awake? Feng Yi Xuan asked. Coming over to the bedside, he scooped Lan You Nian out from under the nket, smoothing out Lan You Nians slightly disheveled hair.
En, actually I wasnt very tired! Lan You Nian said smiling.
Pondering for a moment, Feng Yi Xuan said, I will be going out tonight to handle something. Behave and rest here, understood? Feng Yi Xuan was a little edgy. If Nian Nian knew he was going to see Young Master Wu Qing and to beat him up, he wondered if she will get mad. However, no matter what, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to teach that Young Master Wu Qing a lesson. Lets see if he dares to get so close to Nian Nian. Yu Liu Li once said that one must give a harsh blow to ones love rival.
Lan You Nian was wondering what excuse she should give Feng Yi Xuan to let her go out tonight. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence. This way, she can just leave; otherwise, Feng Yi Xuan will be worried knowing she left.
En, I know. Dont worry about me and do your own thing! Lan You Nian clenched tightly to Feng Yi Xuans hand. She knew Feng Yi Xuan was very busy. Sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night, she could still see him sitting beside her reading over the memorials, so Lan You Nian wouldnt meddle in Feng Yi Xuans matters.
Tonight, Lan You Nian would be meeting the Ghost Lord who she didnt have any confidence in winning against. Lan You Nian will try her best not to let herself be injured. If she cant beat the other person, shell run. She was no longer one person. If she was injured, Feng Yi Xuan would be even more pained inside. Lan You Nian was aware of this, so no matter what, she must protect herself.
Everyone ate together. Maybe its due to Lan You Nians influences, An Yi and An San also sat with them. If they were back at the manor, they wouldnt sit at the table, but now they were outside, they were out to have fun. If they were to watch on the side as they were eating, Lan You Nian wouldnt be able to stand it, so everyone sat table. An Yi them went from the difort and jittery at the beginning to the present calmly and speedily eating. With Lan You Nian, they got the same respect.
After their meal, Feng Yi Xuan took a short nap with Lan You Nian. After the night deepened, Feng Yi Xuan pecked Lan You Nians forehead before leaving the room and headed towards Qian manor. When Feng Yi Xuan left, Lan You Nians eyes instantly opened. Her eyes were pure and bright, without any drowsiness
Young miss! Lan Ren and Lan Feng were decked out in ck, with masks covering their faces as they stood outside the room.
En! Lan You Nian gave a response and received the male disguise Lan Qu prepared for her and put it on. Lan Qu helped Lan You Nian put up her hair and put it into a male style. Lan You Nian epted the mask that signified Young Master Wu Qing and left the room, disappearing in the courtyard, with those manservants standing guard beingpletely unaware.
Flying out of the courtyard, Lan You Nian noticed many of Wu Qing Pavilions subordinates were waiting outside. The number of people wasnt particrlyrge, roughly around ten or so people. Zhang Lin was amongst them. Because of Zhang Lins loyalty and abilities, Lan You Nian already ced him in Wu Qing Pavilion. On the surface, he was You Nian Pavilions guard. In the shadows, he was also Wu Qing Pavilions assassin. These dozen people were all people Lan You Nian trusted, so Lan You Nian only gave them a nod and they all hastened to Qian Manor.
When Lan You Nian and entourage arrived at Qian Manor, they didnt encounter Ghost Realms people. Lan You Nian had Zhang Lin and the others conceal themselves. Too many people were easily noticeable by others. Taking Lan Ren and Lan Feng with her, Lan You Nian silently stole into Qian Manor.
The three of them searched a circle around Qian Manor but didnt find a trace of Heavens Tears Heart. Lan You Nian dared not do too much. If they acted rashly and alerted the enemy, and the other grasped the fact she needed such a thing, then shell be at a disadvantageous spot, especially since Qian Manors head of family wasnt someone easy to interact with, a considerable personage. If forced, its probable Heavens Tears Heart will be destroyed.
Lan You Nian didnt find Heavens Tears Heart nor did she encounter Ghost Realms people, so she prepared to go back earlier. If she came backte, Feng Yi Xuan will most likely know about it. She wasnt afraid of telling Feng Yi Xuan the whole story, just that Feng Yi Xuan will worry too much.
When Lan You Nian left Qian manor with Lan Ren and Lan Feng, moving at a fast pace on the streets, a maic masculine voice traveled into their ears, Since Young Master Wu Qing hase, why leave so fast?
Chapter 211 - Realizing Each Other’s Identities
Chapter 211 Realizing Each Others Identities
The deep voice was like the stressed sound from a phoenix-tail zither. Though soft, it entered a persons heart, refusing to be ignored. Lan You Nian knew from the sound that this person was elusive Ghost Realm Ghost Lord.
Lan You Nian stopped walking and raised her head to look at Ghost Realms Ghost Lord. Not far away, there stood a man wearing a ck mask, standing tall and upright.
This must be Ghost Lord. Indeed, seeing for oneself is much better than hearing from others! Lan You Nian voice was dull from deliberately lowering her voice, but in others ears, Master Wu Qings voice was elegant and maic. Lan You Nian knew there would be a fight since she encountered this Ghost Lord and his hostility towards her. Lan You Nian only hoped to end the fight quickly.
After Lan You Nian uttered those words, Lan Ren and Lan Feng swiftly drew up on the sides of Lan You Nian. Those Wu Qing Pavilion assassins hidden in the shadows all stood out behind Lan You Nian. Even if the one standing before them was Ghost Realms Ghost Lord, not one person cowered or showed any fear. They only had one thought, that was to protect young miss and not let young miss be harmed.
Seeing so many people appear beside Lan You Nian, An Yi and An San, wearing a ck cloth over their face, couldnt allow themselves to be found anycking. This wasnt just anybody but their masters love rival! Thus, Ghost Realms assassins who were following behind also emerged. Within moments, both sides formed into a confrontational situation.
Feng Yi Xuan studied Master Wu Qing. Because Lan Ren and Lan Feng were standing in the way, Feng Yi Xuan couldnt see clearly what Lan You Nian looked like. He could only obtain a rough idea, but Feng Yi Xuan felt familiar. Feng Yi Xuan even felt Nian Nian had the sameportment as Master Wu Qing. Thinking of this, Feng Yi Xuan spared the person another look. A warm jade hung around the waist by a cord of the same color as the belt. His figure was long and straight, handsome as if a spirit of a green pine on a celestial mountain. Feng Yi Xuan had to agree that this Master Wu Qing was a rare character. Its a pity he coveted his Nian Nian. He couldnt kill him, but...
Opposite him, Master Wu Qing wore a moonlight, silver-threaded long garb. The sleeves hung down smoothly. A dark green, nearly ck belt buckled around the waist.
But Young Master Wu Qing, doesnt look like much! Feng Yi Xuan uttered disdainfully. No matter how much he admired this man, whenever he thought of the friendliness between this man and Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuans vinegar jar will topple over.
Lan You Nian was startled, not expecting this Ghost Lord to be so straightforward and his words were filled with anger. Lan You Nian carefully pondered over it. Wu Qing Pavilion has never offended Ghost Realm. Instead, Ghost Realm always kept looking for trouble with Wu Qing Pavilion. Thinking of this, Lan You Nians impression of this Ghost Lord became even worse.
Ha, how this young master is is no concern of Ghost Lords. As long as the person this young master likes thinks this young master is good, its enough! Lan You Nians hand gently curled the errant strands of hair brushing her cheeks behind her ear. Behind the mask, azy smile hung on her face. This feeling was both unrestrained and charming.
However, in Feng Yi Xuans ears, he directly connected the person Master Wu Qing liked to be Nian Nian. His meaning was that Nian Nian was very good to him? Thinking of this, Feng Yi Xuans air instantly became freezing cold, as if an unending icend, freezing all the people present, making them involuntarily feel cold and gave them chills.
There are some people you cannot like. Young master Wu Qing should scram! Feng Yi Xuan sneered coldly. If this were someone else, he wouldnt waste so many words. But Master Wu Qing has, more or less, helped Nian Nian in the past. Though he loathed him, he had to recognize everything hes done for Nian Nian. From just one meeting, Feng Yi Xuan knew this man wasnt an insidious person. If he perceptive and gave up on Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan wont be so petty toy a hand on him.
Lan You Nian was madepletely speechless by the other mans words. It was none of his business who she liked. Does this Ghost Lord want to interfere with another persons thoughts and feelings? She didnt need anyones opinions on her liking Xuan.
Is it any concern of Ghost Lords whoever this young master likes? What a joke! Lan You Nians eyes were cold as she said, The person this young master likes also likes this young master. Ghost Lord, you better scram off to where you belong!
Feng Yi Xuan was enraged by the other mans words. His Nian Nian only liked him. It can only be him!
Feng Yi Xuan moved, so fast that the others werent even able to react. They only saw he appear in front of Master Wu Qing, his hand curling into fists, gathering inner force in his hands and over a few feet of distance, aiming for Master Wu Qings chest. If this palmnded on Master Wu Qings chest, though it wouldnt be life-threatening, it was certain hed be severely injured, needing to rest for several months to recover.
Lan You Nians expression was indifferent, sun-like eyes shuttered, converging with a deep icy light. She didnt expect this Ghost Lords martial arts to be so powerful. Probably only Feng Yi Xuan could be a match for him. Lan You Nians body moved, dodging Ghost Lords attack, lifting off into the air, white clothes fluttering,nding not far away.
At this moment, the Ghost Lord was about to continue attacking when his entire body froze. Feng Yi Xuan disbelievingly looked at the man who dodged his attack. Just seconds ago, he caught a whiff of a fragrant scent. It was Nian Nians scent. From the very beginning, he felt the man in front of him was familiar. Though he considered this man a love rival because of Nian Nian, that familiar feeling couldnt be ignored. No one else ever gave him such a familiar feeling, unless...
Feng Yi Xuans lips curled up into a smile. This smile didnt have any coldness but filled with indulgence.
Lan You Nian knew this Ghost Lord was not a man to be trifled with but nor was she a spineless person. Lan You Nians steps were light and agile as she came over to Ghost Lords front. When her arm raised, it carried with it a densely packed gust of wind. The robes on her body drew a sensual arc in the wind, extremely carefree as it soared. Lan You Nian held a dagger in her hand. The dagger was aimed at Ghost Lords neck but as the dagger neared, the Ghost Lord captured her arm.
Then, under everyones jaw-dropping and stunned gaze, the ck-clothed Ghost Lord pulled the white-clothed Master Wu Qing into his arms. Ghost Lords arm suppressed Master Wu Qings attack. The twos posture was simply too ambigious but the premise was these two were both men.
Ghost Realms peoples jaws dropped from shock. Was this still their aloof master? In their knowledge, master had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Most importantly, doesnt master like the matriarch. What was he doing hugging a man? An Yi and the others felt unworthy on Lan You Nians behalf. They felt, could this Master Wu Qing dosed their master with something; otherwise, how could act so erratically?
Wu Qing Pavilions people were also scared into legs trembled. How could their young miss be hugged by Ghost Lord? Young miss belonged to Ming wang. Most importantly, young miss was disguised as a man. Could this Ghost Lord have some homosexual tendencies? Lan Feng them were prepared to charge forward. They must protect young misss purity. They couldnt let young miss be tarnished by such a person!
At this moment, Lan You Nian was enraged. She knew this Ghost Lords martial arts was powerful but didnt expect to be so easily subdued. What enraged her even more was not that she lost, but that she was taken advantage of. She was being hugged by this man. More importantly, this was the first hug, besides Feng Yi Xuan, that she didnt feel disgusted by. Lan You Nians only thought at the moment was to kill this Ghost Lord.
Though her inner force was suppressed, Lan You Nian was unwilling to admit defeat as she mustered all the energy in her body to break free. The consequence of doing so was that shell lose some of her inner force, but Lan You Nian didnt regret it.
Feng Yi Xuan could sense what the little one in his arms wanted to do. For a moment, he was both angry and heart aching. He could only rip off his mask, his slightly deep voice but the smell that was like musk captivating, making people addicted, Nian Nian, its me!
Lan You Nian stopped struggling. Staring at the unmasked man, wasnt this Feng Yi Xuan!? Lan You Nian gaped with shock, her little mouth wide open, her eyes widened, then very agitated as she reached out a hand to pinch Feng Yi Xuans cheeks, making certain it was real, speechlessly muttering, Fuck, what the fuck is this?
Feng Yi Xuans lips curled upwards, the tails of his brows upturned, the corners of his eyes and tip of his brows stacked with a smile, setting that peerless, handsome face to inexplicably add a sinful vor, the devil! He reached out his hand to take off Lan You Nians mask. Instantly Ghost Realms people realized wasnt that Young Master Wu Qing their matriarch?
At this, the assassins of Ghost Realm and Wu Qing Pavilion originally eyeing each other with hostility peeled off their own masks nonchntly and dropped their hostility. After all, they were most likely going to be one family in the future.
Lan You Nian stepped out of Feng Yi Xuans arms, deliberately frosting her little face saying, Speak, whats going on?
Ghost Realms people took a look at Lan You Nians interrogative posture and all of them consciously gave a thumbs up. Their matriarch was truly fearless! They have never seen anyone dare to speak to master like this. Usually, if there was someone who didnt grow any eyes that dared to defy master, the consequence was only one word, death! But from masters love for the matriarch, he wouldnt get angry at all!
Feng Yi Xuan took a look at the slightly mad girl and awkwardly rubbed his straight nose. He really didnt expect that having been smart all these years, he ended up regarding his girl as his love rival. Young Master Wu Qing was Nian Nian. Two people were the same person. What on earth was he jealous for? And to have struggled with it for so long!
Cough! Feng Yi Xuan peeked at Lan You Nian, hastily exining, I am Ghost Realms Ghost Lord. I didnt purposefully hide it from you. I just didnt want you involved in this darkness so I didnt tell you! Feng Yi Xuan really feared Lan You Nian would get angry and ignore him.
Seeing their masters spineless expression, Ghost Realms people hated iron for not turning into steel, led by the nose by his wife!
Hearing this exnation, Lan You Nian didnt show a smile but rather angrily said, Why did you harass Wu Qing Pavilion? This was the most important. Thinking of all the money she lost thest few days, Lan You Nian felt her heart hurt. The fact that it was Feng Yi Xuan who was the cause of all this, it wasnt just heartache but anger.
At this, Feng Yi Xuan stuttered, not knowing what to say. Lan You Nians line of sightnded on the people of Ghost Realm, who all tried their hardest to force out a smile, but refused to answer. Master treated the matriarch well doesnt mean he treated them well. If they exposed masters petty thoughts, who knows if theyll have any good days left?
Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuan stuttered for a while without replying, her eyes shing and fog rose over her eyes, making Feng Yi Xuans heart ache, hastily answering, I thought Master Wu Qing coveted you so I was jealous and wanted to teach Master Wu Qing a lesson, along with Wu Qing Pavilion!
What? Lan You Nian was startled and then burst intoughter, the smile on her lips was faint like a flower blooming for the first time in early spring, that melodious sound couldnt be held back, making Lan You Nians stomach hurt fromughing. Feng Yi Xuan sympathized and pulled Lan You Nian into his arms to rub her belly.
Finally, when Lan You Nian stopped giggling, she really didnt expect Wu Qing Pavilions misfortunes were all due to this mans jealousy. It was such a mix-up. And she was so innocent! How could she be her own love rival? Feng Yi Xuan really has been clever all his life but stupid this once.
When Lan You Nian finishedughing, Feng Yi Xuan asked, Nian Nian, youre not angry anymore?
Lan You Nian shook her head, grinning, I wasnt actually angry. But, Wu Qing Pavilion lost a lot of money!
An Yi, send over all of Ghost Realms riches to Wu Qing Pavilion!
Eh? No need. You just need to reimburse double the costs to me! Though Lan You Nian loved money, she wasnt greedy.
Whats mine is yours! Feng Yi Xuan said dotingly,pletely ignoring the distressed looks of Ghost Realms assassins.
Then just store it at your ce. Yours is mine! Lan You Nian said.
Alright! Pampering without any reason.
Chapter 212 - Beguiled
Chapter 212 Beguiled
The sun hung high up in the sky. The sunshine shone into the luxurious and beautiful chamber. On the ivory bed, blue curtains hung neatly on both sides. A blue gauze cloth hooked around the curtains, making it appear graceful. A man and woman slept in each others arms on the bed, cozily, making people feel a pure and fresh feeling.
Because the two of them ran outst night and fought, when they returned, they murmured some words and talkedte into the night, so Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian openlyzed around in bed. Lan You Nian felt tired, so she didnt want to get out of bed, while Feng Yi Xuan had a soft and fragrant beauty in his arms so he didnt want to get out of bed.
Perhaps because the sunlight had entered the room, Lan You Nian opened her blurry and hazy eyes, making Feng Yi Xuans heart melt, hating he couldnt carry her in his mouth. Thinking of this, Feng Yi Xuan put it into action. Feng Yi Xuan lowered his head, swiftly sealing up the small yawning mouth. Imprisoning the little one in both arms tightly, the endless adoration drowned in the tender kiss. A slightly cool tongue slips in, greedily sucking up her breath. Every second carried an inscrutable palpitation.
Encountering such a stimtion after just waking up, Lan You Nians previously hazy head became even more hazy. Following Feng Yi Xuans deep kiss, Lan You Nian let out a moan. Hearing this sound, the fire in Feng Yi Xuan surged. But just as Feng Yi Xuan wanted to continue and do more, he was stopped by Lan You Nian.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuans lustful and hoarse voice rasped in Lan You Nians ears, making Lan You Nian a little dazed. But fortunately Lan You Nian was a strong-willed person, so Lan You Nian didnt look at Feng Yi Xuans seductive appearance, with his clothes halfway undressed. She darted out from under Feng Yi Xuan.
Didnt you tell me to scramst night? Lan You Nian barred her small white teeth, asking with a fierce look.
Feng Yi Xuans brows furrowed. Sure enough, Nian Nian came to settle the ounts with him. Recalling the words he saidst night, Feng Yi Xuan broke into a cold sweat and additionally lit a few candles for himself. It looks like he really was seeking his death.
Dragging back the little girl who rolled onto the edge of the bed, Feng Yi Xuans attitude was good as he admitted his wrongs, At the time, I didnt know it was you. I wont let you leave my side!
Though his attitude was good, Lan You Nian still wore an impassive face, I said I cant like you!
Alright, Feng Yi Xuan looked at the angrily puffed up little face of Lan You Nian, his eyes brimming withughter. How can his little girl be so adorable? Even when she was angry, he found it impossible to stop himself from loving her. Every expression and every smile were full of temptation for him.
If you dont like me, who else can like me? In this world, only you can like me! Feng Yi Xuans voice was cool like zither music drifting from a serene, empty valley, Nian Nian, if youre still angry at me, you can hit me or yell at me, dont be like this alright?
Only Lan You Nian could make Feng Yi Xuan curry favor with her. In the past, dont mention currying favor with someone, even admitting a mistake was nonexistent. But towards Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan did these naturally, as if for the smile of the woman in his arms, his face was nothing important.
Lan You Nian wasnt actually angry. She was only ying around. And it wasnt like she wasnt without a single wrong. Feng Yi Xuan didnt tell her his Ghost Lords identity. Simrily, she didnt tell Feng Yi Xuan her identity as Young Master Wu Qing.
Im not angry! Lan You Nian pushed Feng Yi Xuan away and started to dress. Suddenly remembering something, she whispered in Feng Yi Xuans ears, her face lighting up with interest, Xuan, what do you think of this idea?
Whatever you want, Feng Yi Xuan unconditionally supported anything Lan You Nian wanted to do. This time it was no different.
But what if Brother Wu An doesnt agree? Lan You Nian asked, troubled.
Feng Yi Xuans heart ached upon seeing Lan You Nians troubled expression and said directly, He will agree! Because even if he didnt agree, he still must agree! Otherwise, he didnt mind having a go at him. Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel that there was anything wrong with selling off his brothers for a woman. Those friends of Feng Yi Xuan were really pitiful.
Because the two only got out of bed when it was nearly noon, they had the noon meal in the parlour.
Lan You Nian wore a cypress colored silk woven floor-length dress, fleeting as a celestial. A silk girdle circled her waist and a purple shawl draped over her outfit. Silky smooth raven hair was coiled in the back by a jade hairpin, leaving two curls of hair scattered by her ears. On her ears were a pair of magnolia white earrings, setting off her skin as even more delicate and smooth.
From the moment Lan You Nian stepped out of the room, she noticed An Yi and the others gazing in worship. Though there wasnt any sphemous intention in their gaze, it still made Lan You Nian ufortable. So she was speechless as she stopped her footsteps and asked, Why are you looking at me like that?
Once Lan You Nian spoke, Feng Yi Xuans eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at An Yi and the others, making them hastily lower their heads, in fear their master who loved to eat vinegar will throw them back to Ghost Realm for training if a bad mood came upon him.
Answering matriarch, its honestly matriarchs identity is too unexpected. We subordinates idolize you! An Si stepped out, saying. They all admired Young Master Wu Qing. Now that they knew that the well-renowned Young Master Wu Qing was actually their matriarch, to build up such forces, how many men can aplish it? But their matriarch was only a woman, yet she held up the sky, how can it not inspire admiration?
As for everyones sincere and genuine idolization, Lan You Nian readily epted it. Lan You Nian smiled at An Yi and Wu Qing Pavilions assassins who were disguised as manservants, If you have time, you can spar with Wu Qing Pavilions brothers. Lets see who is superior between the two most mysterious forces in the pugilistic world!
With Lan You Nians words, An Yi and Lan Ren they all felt a longing to do so. Theyre all people who likedbat and now theyve met their match, they all had the feeling of warrior respecting warrior, especially as theyve itched to do so a long time ago.
Thank you matriarch! An Yi and the others dered joyously, hating they couldnt immediately have a fight with Lan Ren them.
An Yi, dont get too excited! Young misss assassins arent to be trifled with. When the time goes, youll suffer! Lan Wuughed with her arms akimbo to her hips, her tone carrying her idolization and respect for Lan You Nian.
Though they idolized Lan You Nian, An Yi and the others also respected their powerful master, so An Yi waved his fist at Lan Ren. Lan Ren and Lan Feng, not to be outdone, took out their personal daggers and made the gesture of gutting their throat. In an instant, though they were filled with fighting spirit, there wasnt any killing intent.
At this time, they saw Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li walking over holding hands. Lan You Nian revealed an ambigious light. Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li didnt know why but there was a cold draft rising on their backs. Clearly Jiangnans climate was so warm but they felt a cold chill.
Brother Wu An, Brother Liu Li! Lan You Nian snuggled in Feng Yi Xuans arms as she offered them a greeting, Have you eaten?
Jing Wu Ans face stiffed as he saw Lan You Nian wearing a smile on her face. His intuition told him nothing good was going to happen next. Usually, when did they see Nianer meimei so concerned about them? More importantly, Feng Yi Xuan actually wasnt jealous. This was a huge problem.
Seeing Jing Wu Ans suspicious gaze, Lan You Nian smiled even radiantly, Lan Qu made some delicious food today. Brother Liu Li lets eat together. Oh right, I even brought some wine from the capital!
Really? Thanks Nianer meimei. Brother I didnt dote on you in vain! Yu Liu Liughed as he tugged Jing Wu An into the parlour. It was not to say Yu Liu Li was stupid, but they were all the same, for in front of people they approve of they will unburden themselves of their guard. Yu Liu Lis disposition was frank, unlike Jing Wu Ans twist and turns.
When they arrived at the parlor and half-done with the food and drunk some wine, Lan You Nian suddenly sighed, her expression appearing upset. Though Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nian was merely acting, his expression still frosted over, but when he received Lan You Niansforting gaze, he collected himself and drank the wine Lan You Nian just poured for him.
Nianer meimei whats wrong? Did Yi Xuan bully you? Tell brother, I will definitely help you! Yu Liu Li asked worriedly.
Lan You Nians lips twisted up. Jing Wu An helplessly munched on the food on the table. Seeing Lan You Nians crafty look, he knew it wasnt a good thing. Sure enough...
I need a certain something that I need Brother Wu An to help me with! Lan You Nian said. Actually, if she said it was medical herb she needed to cure her poison, Lan You Nian believed Jing Wu An would agree without having to do anything.
Of course! Before Jing Wu An could answer, Yu Liu Li agreed to it.
What do you need? Since Nianer meimei needs it, I will try my best to help! Jing Wu An uttered in agreement. Lan You Nian, to them, was a little sister they needed to pamper. Since she scarcely ever asked for anything, of course they will help.
I need Heaven Tear Heart! Lan You Nian beat around the bush, We can be certain Heaven Tear Heart is in Qian Manor, but Xuan and I cant find out who actually has Heaven Tear Heart, so I need Brother Wu Ans help!
Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li, upon hearing Heaven Tear Heart, understood. Heaven Tear Heart was a medicinal herb. For Lan You Nians necessity of it, they can guess it must be rted to her bodys poison. The two nodded straightforwardly. Jing Wu An asked, What do you need me to do? A lot of times when they think of the poison in Lan You Nians body, they felt their hearts ache for her. They cant imagine how anxious and pained Feng Yi Xuans heart must be. Only they knew this friend hid it well so Lan You Nian wont worry.
Lan You Nian nced at Jing Wu An from top to bottom, I need Brother Wu An to sacrifice your beauty and seduce Qian manors second young miss we encountered.
What? Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li shouted in unision. They didnt expect Lan You Nian to think of such a rotten idea. Lets not mention Jing Wu An doesnt like women, even if he did, he wouldnt like the domineering woman they met the other day. Just looking at the woman gave rise to the desire to kill her. And to have him seduce her, Jing Wu An wasnt certain if he will puke.
Not willing? Feng Yi Xuan put down the wine up, his eyes rippling with coldness but not killing intent.
Lan You Nian knew this matter was perturbing. After all, if Feng Yi Xuan were to seduce another person, shes the first person to stand out and object. Everyone, once they had someone they loved, why would they go woo someone else?
Lan You Nian was about to say something, Yu Liu Li broke her off, Ill go! Yu Liu Li looked at Jing Wu An, I wont allow myself to suffer any losses. Besides, its only perfunctory. It wasnt easy for Nianer meimei to ask us godbrothers to do something. How can we disappoint her?
Did I refuse? What are you panicked about! No willpower! Jing Wu Anughed pping Yu Lius shoulder and then said to Lan You Nian, I know what to do. I should get out the whereabouts of Heaven Tear Heart from that womans mouth. Rest assured, I will definitely do well!
Jing Wu An was a ck-bellied person and with his looks there, he trusted without the need to seduce, hell attract that Qian manors second young miss. And Jing Wu An can definitely coax out the whereabouts of Heaven Tear Heart.
Thank you! Lan You Nian said sincerely.
Theres no need for thanks! Jing Wu An Wu An smiled. No matter what was said, Lan You Nian was their little sister. No matter how he looked at it, hell definitely help.
Why not me? My martial arts is better than Wu An. I definitely wont let that perverted woman take advantage of me! Yu Liu Li said in confusion. They knew though Lan You Nian had them sell out their beauty it was only showing their face. As long as they used the correct means, they could receive news without any contact.
You? Feng Yi Xuan nced at Yu Liu Li, and without any reserve, Too stupid!
Chapter 213 - 213 Lake Tour
213 Lake Tour
On the bustling streets of Jiangnan stood all kinds of shop stands. The small stalls on the street were set up with even more of Jiangnans souvenirs.
In front of a very in stall stood a man. The mans skin was like white jade, whose eyebrows outlined pair of distant mountains, lips rendered by cinnabar. A pair of soul-stealing monolid phoenix eyes, with a turn, charming and attractive as it shone with the luster of zed ss. A head of long ck hair, unruly as it draped over his shoulders, without any restraint, full of wild nature. The man was dressed in white as he stoodzily in front of the stall, emitting a rakish air.
Damn! Yu Liu Lis eyes shone as they looked at Jing Wu An who was dressed up by Lan You Nian, Nianer meimei, youve dressed Wu An up too provocatively! Look at those women below are drooling. Tonight I want Wu An to dress up like that for me!
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian and Yu Liu Li sat on the second floor of a tea shop, looking at Jing Wu An pretending to be provocative. Theyve already investigated and found Qian familys second young miss was called Qian Jing Han. She was Qian familys most favored child. Qian familys head had fourth children. Though Qian Jing Han was domineering, she was Qian familys head of houses favorite child, because this children was birthed by the. heads most beloved woman. Thus, the reason no one questions it when Qian Jing Han snatched men. Only because Qian Jing Han was greatly favored in Qian family.
Pu! Brother Liu Li, you are pervy person too! Lan You Nian teased. She deliberately had Lan Qu them dress up Jing Wu An. At first, she was going to do it herself but Feng Yi Xuan became jealous, so she could only hand things over to Lan Qu them and had them dress up Jing Wu An. No matter, the results were still stunning.
Wu Ans beauty can only be appreciated by me. However, I must follow Wu An today. If that woman touches Wu An, this one will cripple her! Yu Liu Li said looking down at Jing Wu An. He couldnt let his own man be coveted by another woman. But thinking of the thing Lan You Nian needed, he again felt troubled.
Rest assured. If Brother Wu An is taken advantage of, brother Liu Li you can just make your move! The back of her hands supported Lan You Nians chin as she looked down at Jing Wu An. Though she needed Heavens Tear Heart, there wasnt only one way. No matter what she couldnt allow her friends to suffer grievances on her ount.
Wu An isnt so easily taken advantage of! Feng Yi Xuan said, gazing at Lan You Nian. Hes known Jing Wu An for many years. From Jing Wu An rising up to the seat of military advisor so young, it is made known the degree of Jing Wu Ans ck-bellied.
At this moment on the streets, there were some people galloping on horseback. When the vendor saw the woman riding at the very front, he didnt dare utter a word as he silently put away the things on the stall, preventing the stall from being kicked by horse hooves.
Jing Wu Ans lips deviously curled upwards. If she doesnte yet, he wouldnt be able to stand still. He was simply dressed too provocatively, bing an exotic animal. Looking at the infatuated women on the streets, Jing Wu An deeply felt that his familys Liu Li was the most appealing.
Ever since being beaten that day, Qian Jing Han has stepped out of the manor. Today she simply couldnt bear it anymore and brought the family retainers out to y. From far away she saw a very handsome and rakish man standing there. Qian Jing Han felt such a man was one she wanted. None of those obedient men in her manor couldpare.
Qian Jing Han urged her horse over to Jing Wu An and saw clearly Jing Wu Ans face and had a determination to conquer this man. Qian Jing Han noticed that this man was the same man she met on the streets the other day. Qian Jing Han made even more interested in Jing Wu An. Up until now any man she fancied, she was able to obtain them. Jing Wu An was the first who she wasnt able to immediately obtain. Qian Jing Han wanted him even more.
Jing Wu An looked at Qian Jing Han who stopped in front of him. Though Qian Jing Han was extremely domineering, her looks were eptable. A goose egg powdered face, big eyes staring straight at Jing Wu An. She wore a rose purple red satin brocade jacket embroidered with dense flower patterns with the cor iid with real pearls. There was an overcoat with gold rims draped over a pink sunset brocade silk dress. Her person was like a smiling peach blossoms in the breeze, very enchanting.
ްͣԼǰǧȻǧʮְŵDzģһŶ쵰۾ֱĿžްһõ϶ˮ˷ܵĻƣ½Ͻ죬ֽýϵһϼź˿ȹǡһ֦Цӭޱңʮֽޡ
Young master, many days no see! How has this young master considered? Qian Jing Han jumped off her steed, giving it over to the family retainers to take away and came over to Jing Wu An as she asked him in a teasing tone.
What is this youngdy saying? This one doesnt understand! Jing Wu An inwardlyined, wanting to throw out this Qian Jing Han who was standing too close to him, but remembering Nianer meimeis poisoned body, Jing Wu An could only endure as his face showed a very rakish smirk.
Qian Jing Hans finger were about to stroke Jing Wu Ans chest but was dodged by Jing Wu An, making Yu Liu Li crush several cups in the tea shop. Jing Wu Ans move didnt make Qian Jing Han angry but gave rise to even more interest.
This young miss said to have youe to Qian family to be this young misss guard. Are you willing? Qian Jing Han asked. If it was any other man, she would have already captured him back, but recalling the stunning celestial womans capabilities, Qian Jing Han felt a little fearful.
Jing Wu An nced at Qian Jing Han, an air of arrogance and grit seeping from his bones as he replied, Many thanks for youngdys kindness. Its not necessary!
Jing Wu Ans rejection didnt make Qian Jing Han angry. Instead, she regarded Jing Wu An even higher. Because of Qian Jing Hans identity in Jiangnan, shes never encountered a man who dared to refuse her. Shes soon many of submissive men. She only had to intimidate them a little or lure them and they obediently came to her side, but...Qian Jing Han nced at Jing Wu An, feeling interest igniting in her heart. This man was different than all the rest.
Why didnt Wu An agree? That way he can get into Qian manor. That way he can get his hands on Heaven Tear Heart as soon as possible! Yu Liu Li asked in confusion. Werent they getting close to Qian Jing Han to get their hands on Heavens Tear Heart? Such a good opportunity, why doesnt he know how to use it?
Qian Jing Han must know what Heavens Tear Heart is, so Qian Jing Han wouldnt easily tell others. The easier something is obtained, the less it is treasured. So brother Wu An did this, not only didnt he push Qian Jing Han away, instead he attracted her even more! Lan You Nian analyzed, knowing the reasoning behind Jing Wu Ans rejection. She had to admit Jing Wu An was smart to be able to make such a decision in a matter of seconds.
As Lan You Nian had expected, Qian Jing Han looked at Jing Wu An in admiration, Since young master isnt willing, this young miss wont force you. However, this young miss wishes to invite young master to drink tea. Is young master willing? Qian Jing Hans attitude made many people feel the sun came out from the west that Qian familys second young miss could actually be respectable.
Jing Wu An spared a nce at the second floor, answering, Yes, but it should be this young master treating young miss to tea. How can I let a youngdy treat me?
Jing Wu An knew when to advance and retreat with his attitude, making Qian Jing Han like him even more. Qian Jing Han felt if she married such a man, it wouldnt be so bad. Even if this man is only a guard, even if this master didnt have a tremendous family wealth.
Lan You Nian knew from Qian Jing Hans expression that Jing Wu An really has sessfully seduced this arrogant woman. Lan You Nian said to Yu Liu Li, Well be going now. Brother Liu Li you must keep an eye on brother Wu An!
Saying this, Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan disappeared in the tea shop to enjoy their two-person world. As for Jing Wu An, they trusted him to manage it. If he couldnt even handle such small affairs, he would have been a military strategist in vain.
Leaving the tea shop, Feng Yi Xuan took Lan You Nian to a spot above Jiangnans famous river. Floating on the river were several beautiful luxury boats hung up with red muslin curtains. If a luxury boat was hung with red, it belonged to well-known brothel courtesans while the boats hung with curtains of other colors belonged to those sons of wealthy families.
Feng Yi Xuan took Lan You Nian to the riverside, stopping by a very stunning boat. The boat was carved with exquisite flower patterns. The entire boat was pure white and wless, appearing very aristocratic.
Lan You Nian walked up the boat, noticing An Yi them were already waiting there. Lan You Nian asked, smiling, Youve already prepared this a while ago? Jiangnan was a water town. If one didnte to Jiangnan to take a boat trip on theke, it would be a pity. Lan You Nian, though she knew of it, didnt mention it. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to be so considerate.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded. When his Nian Nian came to Jiangnan, he already asked his subordinates what was fun in Jiangnan. Naturally, he was made aware of the pleasures of a boat trip on theke. So, he had them buy a luxury boat and redecorate it. Feng Yi Xuan looked it over and was full of praises for An Yi their ability.
Walking into the luxury boat, the inside was carpeted with a thickyer of soft carpeting. Lan You Nian felt veryfortable walking on it. Inside, there was a guqin (seven-stringed zither). Though it couldntpare to the Gentle Water Zither Feng Yi Xuan had gifted her, it was still a rare to behold zither.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu stood by a low couch, preparing fruits and some snacks, making Lan You Nian peckish.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian to sit on the couch, overlooking the bustling boats of all colors on theke. The mirror-likeke surface was full of ripples. The breeze blew over it and one could smell theke water. From the brothel boats came the elegant sounds of music ying.
Young miss, do you know? I looked around. Our boat is the most beautiful! Lan Wu dered proudly. Shes been to Jiangnan with young miss. At that time, they were here on business. From far away, they took a look at the beautiful luxury boats and liked it very much. They didnt expect their own boat was so outstanding.
Yeah, young miss, you dont know, when Lan Wu and I were on the boat, how many peoples looked on jealously outside, hating they couldnt drag us off! Lan Qu said casually. Jiangnans scenery was worthy of praise. It made people want to linger here and never leave.
Lan You Nian leaned against Feng Yi Xuans shoulder, listening to Lan Wu and Lan Qus chatter andughter. She apanied them inughter. The boat was covered up by white muslin. Surprisingly, one couldnt see anything from outside while Lan You Nian could clearly see the scenery outside from her spot.
But not everything beautiful in the world will be appreciated by others. Many more want to covet...
Master, there are two boats slowly approaching! An Yi came in from outside.
Lan You Nian, hearing this, stood up and came over to the curtains to look at the two approaching boats. One boat was hung with red muslin. A woman stood outside the boat. From a distance, Lan You Nian couldnt see the womans looks clearly but from how many young masters shot looks in that direction, she knew this courtesan was famous in Jiangnan.
The other boat was very luxurious. It wasparable to their own boat. Several men dressed as family retainers stood outside the boat. From one look, Lan You Nian knew the person sitting in the boat was a person of high standing and power.
No need to mind them! Feng Yi Xuan came over to Lan You Nian to drag Lan You Nian back, carefully peeling grapes for Lan You Nian, not at all concerned with the happenings outside.
Chapter 214 - Meeting Hua Xiu Yi
214 Meeting Hua Xiu Yi
But at this moment, even you didnt bother other people, trouble wille looking at your door. The woman in the approaching red-curtained luxury boat was such a person.
This humble girl Xian Xian greets young master. Does Xian Xian have the honor of inviting young master to my boat for a chat? Xian Xian stood at the bow of the boat, envy leaking out of her eyes as she looked at the boat not far away. She noticed this beautiful and luxurious boat docked by theke for a long time. She has been selling her body at thiske for many years but has never seen such a magnificent boat. Without thinking, Xian Xian knew the owner of such a boat must be someone of power. Thus, she kept observing all day and indeed saw a man bringing a woman into the boat. Though far away, Xian Xian could still discern the mans tall figure as a young man. She was already twenty years old. In their field, once they reached old age, no men wille to extol her.
Thus, Xian Xian has been looking for a man worthy of her reforming and settling down. She didnt want to live a poverty-stricken life. Todays man was to her taste. Though there was already a woman by the mans side, which man doesnt have a harem of wives and concubines? With her identity, she couldnt be the main wife, but so what if she must be a concubine? She had her ways when it came to pleasing men. She can certainly obtain favor in a prominent family. Then, glory and wealth would be at her fingertips.
Lan You Nian, hearing the agitating sugary-sweet feminine voice, reached out her fingers to pinch Feng Yi Xuans handsome face, irritated as sheined, How is it possible to see you from so far a distance? How are you able to attract such a rotten peach blossom?
Feng Yi Xuan didnt back down as he allowed Lan You Nians hand to mess around with his face. Seeing the girls cheeks were puffed up, baring a mouth of little white teeth, ring at him viciously, clearly jealous but cute like a fur-raised kitten, so adorable it made Feng Yi Xuan couldnt help from reaching out his palm to stroke Lan You Nians head.
Ill wear a mask time I go out? Feng Yi Xuan suggested. Though he liked seeing Nian Nians jealous look, he couldnt bear for the girl to be unhappy. If this face was too attention-drawing, he only had to cover it up.
Hmph! How is it possible to see your looks from so far? Its no use covering it up! Lan You Nian grumbled in displeasure. Her displeasure wasnt with Feng Yi Xuan but with the woman outside. Lan You Nians possessiveness was the same. She didnt like anyone coveting her man.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at An Yi, Kill!
For Feng Yi Xuan, there wasnt such a thing as an innocent person. He had no kindness in his heart. He was willing to ughter themon people for the woman in his arms.
Hey? Lan You Nian made a sound to stop An Yi and shot a re at Feng Yi Xuan, We came out covertly. If we overdo it, it will raise peoples attention! Though Feng country has already removed Prime Ministers faction, it didnt mean it waspletely safe. Lan You Nian didnt want them to catch other peoples attention because of such a small matter. Though they came out to find Heaven Tear Heart, they simrly came out with an attitude to y in Jiangnan. If they killed someone, with their abilities, nothing would happen to them, but more or less, it will bring trouble to their trip.
She made you unhappy! Feng Yi Xuan said firmly. He didnt care for thoseplex matters.
I am not unhappy. Since people cant rest and looked for trouble, we should have some fun shouldnt we? Otherwise, it would be too dull! Lan You Nian acted spoilt, Please? Xuan? Xuan?
Alright! There was no reason for Feng Yi Xuan to reject her. As long as Nian Nian was happy, she could y however she liked. In any case, she had him behind her. Even if Nian Nian pierced the heavens, he wont let her be harmed.
Young master? Xian Xian wishes to invite young master for a talk! Xian Xians voice seemed to be able to squeeze out water, as if the charming tone of a stage actor. When there wasnt an answer from the boat, she felt anxious inside but wasnt willing to let go of such an opportunity.
In the center of theke, many people stood on their boats. Many young masters enviously looked at the owner of the pure white boat. Miss Xian Xian was the most popr courtesan, being here for many years. Usually it was the men who spent money to tter her. When have they seen this famous courtesan step out of her boat to tter another?
Just as Xian Xian was about to ask again, a melodious and sweet voice drifted out of the boat. The made was pleasing to the ears and easily obtained peoples goodwill. Even though it was a voice, it gave people the feeling of looking up to it.
What is this youngdy looking for my hubby for? Lan You Nian perched on Feng Yi Xuans thigh, swaying her legs as she asked leisurely like a mischievous and naughty child.
Feng Yi Xuans fingers that were feeding Lan You Nian grapes shook. That pair of purple tinted pitch ck eyes were iparably gentle. He lowered his eyes to look at the person being held tightly in his arms. His gaze was so soft that water could be squeezed out of it and his voice was overjoyed as he said, Call me again?
Call what? Lan You Nian pretended to not understand. She merely wanted to annoy the harebrained woman outside. But fro Feng Yi Xuans expression, Lan You Nian knew her joke was taken seriously.
Nian Nian...Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Lan You Nian in displeasure, as his expression filled with a bit of childish grievance.
Lan You Nian was startled by Feng Yi Xuans expression. Such a Feng Yi Xuan was like arge faithful dog. She really wanted to pet Feng Yi Xuans head, but Lan You Nian held back.
Call hubby! Feng Yi Xuan refused to let this go as he looked at Lan You Nian. He had never considered such an address for himself. Feng Yi Xuan felt his entire person was floating, hating he couldnt immediately marry Nian Nian and have Nian Nian call him hubby every day.
Lan You Nian was going to tease Feng Yi Xuan some more when the female voice continued to drift in from outside, Greets to this madame. Xian Xian only wants to invite young master to listen to a song. Please ask this madame to grant. This madame cane as well.
Xian Xian didnt expect the man she saw from a distance to be married and to have his wife by his side, but it was no surprise to Xian Xian. It was certain that such a man would be married. Xian Xian didnt expect was for this young madame to speak before the man. From the looks of it, the woman didnt have any brains. Thus, she didnt take the woman seriously.
Hearing the womans voice, Lan You Nian knew this woman to be one who didnt see clearly. Knowing the man was already married yet she still wanted to fight and steal to be the other woman. Lan You Nian felt even more displeased. As a brothel girl, she wasnt degrading, but willingly degrade herself made her scornful.
My hubby makes no sense of music, so we wont disturb this youngdys enjoyment! Lan You Nian nibbled on the foods on the table, not taking the woman outside seriously.
Xian Xian didnt expect the woman inside to be so difficult to deal with. The man had yet to say a word, yet she acted as the master of the household. Xian Xian has always been held on a pedestal by those young masters. How can she ept being rejected one time after another? Her voice carried intiveness as she said, Does young madame look down on Xian Xian? Even so, you should let young master reject Xian Xian. Young madame doing so...
Finishing her words halfway, paired with Xian Xians sad expression, many young masters felt sympathy for her.
Go out and look? Lan You Nian was feeling in a good mood. Since the person came to their doors to look for trouble, how could she not ept it?
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan picked Lan You Nian up, smoothing the folded garments and they walked out of the boat together.
I dont understand this youngdys words. Why does this youngdy wish to see my hubby? Lan You Nian said as she and Feng Yi Xuan walked out of the boat. Instantly, the entire surface of theke became quiet. It was really the twos looks were too outstanding, making people believe theyre seeing two celestial beings.
Today Lan You Nian wore a moonlight white dress, elegant with an otherworldly air. The wide skirts trailed up behind her, graceful and luxurious. Hair like ck jade was done into a simple flying immortal hairstyle. A few full and lustrous pearls randomly decorated her hair, making the hair like ck clouds appear even more soft and glossy. A beautiful pair of eyes overflowed with brilliant color, a faint smile yed between the red lips, only the smile didnt reach her eyes. In an instant, it made others feel only such a woman was worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in this world. That whatever Xian Xian couldntpare at all.
Feng Yi Xuan wore the same moonlight white robes as Lan You Nian. On his person, he only had attached a fine quality green jade pendant and no other ornaments, transparent and wless as it swayed with his step. His fingers were slender and fair. On his peerlessly handsome face, a pair of fathomless eyes were like the ocean, brilliant as the stars in the sky. They seemed to possess a maism that attracted others, making them willingly fall over in admiration.
The two simply had to stand there to let others know the two were husband and wife. The air between the two was simply too harmonious. Besides, only such people were deserving of one another, making others not bear to profane.
In another boaty a man, when he saw Lan You Nian, whose eyes glowed brilliantly, his mouth uttering,I finally see you again!
Xian Xian didnt expect the man and woman who stepped out of the boat to be so stunning. She has always prided in her own beauty but now, seeing the woman in front of her, she realized she really couldntpare. That woman was like a celestial fairy standing in front of her, giving people a dream-like feeling. As for the man, Xian Xians heart beat erratically. He was the most handsome man she has ever seen. Such a man, such wealth, if she can catch this mans eye, then she...
Xian Xian greets young master! Xian Xians willowly waist swayed, acting shy as she curtsied.
Feng Yi Xuan, dont say answer, didnt even spare Xian Xian a nce. His eyes were all on Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian generously lifted her eyes to look at the speaking Xian Xian. A goose egg powdered face, big eyes staring straight at Jing Wu An. She wore a rose purple red satin brocade jacket embroidered with dense flower patterns with the cor iid with real pearls. There was an overcoat with gold rims draped over a pink sunset brocade silk dress. Her person was like a smiling peach blossoms in the breeze, very enchanting. Lan You Nian had to admit as a head flower, this Xian Xian had qualifications. If it was an ordinary man, he would have been tempted. Unfortunately, she wanted to seduce her man. Then, dont me her for ruthlessly destroying the flower.
Seeing the young master didnt condescend to look at her, Xian Xian didnt feel well inside, but felt this man didnt take a good look at her; otherwise, with her curvaceous figure, how can she not be noticeable? The girl by the young masters side was indeed beautiful and exquisite, but it was clear she was still young? What charm could she have?
Is young master willing to chat with Xian Xian in the boat? Xian Xians words were a little frivolous, but she was Jiangnans head flower of the brothel, so it wasnt inappropriate for her to say such words. The onlookers looked on enviously at Feng Yi Xuan, feeling the woman by his side was already undeniably beautiful and now he has caught the eye of the enchanting head flower.
Feng Yi Xuan still didnt answer, nor did he spare her a look. As for Lan You Nian, she couldnt help bursting into giggles. Other women disliked their love rivals, but Lan You Nian felt if it was her love rivals, she didnt need to make a move for Feng Yi Xuan would take care of it, or either by not sparing them a second thought. Lan You Nian felt her familys man was already worry-free.
You still arent gentle to the fairdies! From another luxurious boat walked out a man. His garment was slightly open, exposing the jade-like skin, extremely intoxicating, filled with a mystified and ambiguous luster. As the sun-rays scattered on him, it was truly unrivaled on heaven and earth. He stood their quietly like an heart-moving ink painting, beautiful as weeping blood, stealing peoples hearts. This man looked at Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian opposite him, his lips teasing.
Lan You Nian looked at the man who walked out of the boat, instantly recognizing such a promiscuous man as Hua empires crown prince. Lan You Nian didnt expect to meet the man she disliked here. Feng Yi Xuan merely spared Hua Xiu Yi a cold look. From the start, he already knew of Hua Xiu Yis presence. Simply, neither of them said anything.
Xian Xian didnt expect to see another such handsome man. From the mans luxurious boat and the fact the two young gentlemen knew of each other, Xian Xian knew the two to be people of position and power. Xian Xian nced at the unfeeling man, finding him to be hard to take down, while this man seemed to be a yer from the woman serving beside him.
Long time no see Young Master Xuan, Miss Nian! Hua Xiu Yi greeted with a smile, without outrightly stating their names, for Feng was the royal surname so it couldnt be said.
Young Master Yi! Feng Yi Xuan returned the greeting. Though he was aloof, he wasnt self-centered. Though he has fought with Hua Xiu Yi on the battlefield, there wasnt actually any hatred between them. But if this Hua Xiu Yi cant see the situation and covets Nian Nian, he didnt mind starting a war.
Chapter 215 - The Ending of the Female Scum
Chapter 215 The Ending of the Female Scum
The onlookers found it difficult to ept. What day was it? They saw the handsome male and beautiful female wife and husband and now came out another exquisite and attractive man.
If the two arent upied, how abouting to sit with me? Hua Xiu Yi smiled in invitation. He didnt know what was wrong with him. Ever since he returned from Feng empire, he kept thinking of that apathetic, decisive woman. Most of the time, he had an urge to go to Feng empire, but he wasnt at a young and impulsive age anymore. He considered it carefully. He feared he truly has fallen in love with this woman. Hua Xiu Yi found it funny. It turns out it was possible for him to find someone he liked and that very person he liked already had a sweetheart.
This trip to Jiangnan was merely for y. In Hua empire, he was the crown prince many people feared; thus, no one dared to stop him from leaving. Unexpectedly, he encountered Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian here. He didnt know what his feelings were when he saw that woman getting onto the boat. He only knew he felt joyful inside, but he felt jealous seeing the twos intimacy. He should think of ways of how to kill Lan You Nian because this woman is able to affect his heart, but he had to admit, he was reluctant.
Lan You Nian didnt say anything. She only looked to Feng Yi Xuan, letting Feng Yi Xuan decide.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer. With one hand holding Lan You Nian, he used qinggong to fly into Hua Xiu Yis boat,nding in front of Hua Xiu Yi, as if a jade couple.

Hua Xiu Yi gestured with a single arm to invite Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian inside the boat. None of their identities were ordinary. Though this was Jiangnan, one cant guarantee there wasnt someone who recognized them, so it was best to enter the boat.
Young master! As they were about to enter the boat, the woman named Xian Xians voice pitifully entered the ears of the three. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nians steps didnt stop, but Hua Xiu Yi gazed at Xian Xian with interest.
Xian Xian saw Hua Xiu Yi looked at her, her smile became even more seductive. As a brothel girl, she naturally knew what made men more interested. Both men were noble young masters with top notch looks. No matter who she involved herself with, shell have no worries for the rest of her life.
Hua Xiu Yi looked at the pretentious Xian Xian, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but felt disdainful inside. The so-called women of the world were so disgusting. Hua Xiu Yi then thought of Lan You Nian who was in the boat. It seems only such a woman was different from all the rest.
What does this youngdy need? Hua Xiu Yis charm was even moving than Xian Xians.
Xian Xian knew there was only this one chance as her eyes turned and said, Xian Xian knows how to y some musical songs. If young master doesnt disdain, Xian Xian is willing to y to entertain! As long as she got onto the boat, everything else would be much easier.
Hua Xiu Yi chuckled, Then many thanks to youngdy! Hua Xiu Yi nced at a man on the boat dressed as a manservant. The man immediately flew towards Xian Xians boat and brought Xian Xian onto their boat.
Many thanks to young master! Xian Xian curtsied, slightly exposing the snow white skin on her chest that really could give one a nosebleed, yet Hua Xiu Yi did nothing and stepped into the boat. In Hua Xiu Yis eyes, such a woman wasnt enough to look at.
Xian Xian followed Hua Xiu Yi into the boat, looking where Feng Yi Xuan sat. Lan You Nian sat beside Feng Yi Xuan. Even so, Feng Yi Xuan didnt withdraw the hand wrapped around Lan You Nians. This was a strong demonstration of possessiveness.

Xian Xian beamed brightly, about to sit beside Feng Yi Xuan. Meanwhile, Hua Xiu Yi sat opposite of Feng Yi Xuan, watching the drama ying out. Who let him and Feng Yi Xuan have beenpeting with each other for many years yet he has yet to see a second expression on his face? A long time ago, he thought of having a match with Feng Yi Xuan. Because of Lan You Nian, Hua Xiu Yis desires became even stronger.
Before Xian Xian could get close to Feng Yi Xuan, she was stopped by Lan You Nians voice,My hubby doesnt like strange women getting close. If this youngdy wants to live, you should sit farther away, or you could sit by Young Master Yi. This Young Master Yi is one who is gentle to fairdies!
How could Lan You Nian tell Hua Xiu Yi purposefully let this woman in? Since he wants to see their drama, she didnt like letting him have some drama of his own.
Hearing this, Xian Xian knew was warning her and admonishing her. What person she should mber for connection with and what person she shouldnt, though Xian Xian was unresolved, she can tell Feng Yi Xuans doting towards Lan You Nian. Thus, she sat by Hua Xiu Yi, her body practically glued to Hua Xiu Yi. On the other side of Hua Xiu Yi sat a beautiful woman. This woman was Hua Xiu Yis maidservant. As she poured tea for Lan You Nian and the others, her lowered eyes were ring fiercely at Lan You Nian and Xian Xian.
How does Young Master Xuan have the time toe to Jiangnan. Though Jiangnan has many beauties, doesnt Young Master Xuan already have a beautiful woman as apanion? Hua Xiu Yi held a teacup taking a sip of the tea as he smiled. One was crown prince of an empire. One was war god wangye of another empire. The two of them represented two empires and their power, so they wouldnt easily be enemies.
Apanying Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan stoically replied. What many beauties? In his eyes, only Nian Nian was the most beautiful.
Hua Xiu Yi eyed Lan You Nian smiling. He noticed that the womans face has stretched out more after not seeing for several days. An originally alluring face was even more enchanting, but this enchanting face had a coldness added to it, making people not dare to casually chat up. Because she was with Feng Yi Xuan, she dropped her past erected defenses. Her entire person became warmer. Such a woman, it was no wonder Feng Yi Xuan will fall in love. Even himself too...
Why has Young master Yie to Jiangnan? Lan You Nian retorted. Is it because of Jiangnans beautiful women, so Young Master Yi became captivated? Lan You Nian was protective to a fault. Hua Xiu Yi dared to poke fun at Feng Yi Xuan, so she must return the favor. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan didnt usually argue.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian who was like a protective little beast, feeling warm in his heart. So many years, outsiders only saw his powerful front, but no one was like Nian Nian and considered him on an equal footing, standing up for him. Even if it was slightly hrious to stand up for him, Feng Yi Xuan still cherished it.

Hua Xiu Yi was startled by Lan You Nians protectiveness. He saw Feng Yi Xuans gentle gaze, his heart gave rise to admiration. When have they who sat on high positions experienced such a protectiveness. Feng Yi Xuan really had a good life.
Yeah, this young master has long heard of Jiangnans beauties being quite special. Naturally I came to have a look, Hua Xiu Yi flirtatiously looked at Xian Xian sitting by him. That gaze made Xian Xian give rise to a blush.
The servant girl by Hua Xiu Yi was upset, loathing Lan You Nian even more. In the boat, she saw the Crown Princes gaze kept chasing after this woman. Shes been serving by the Crown Princes side for many years. When has she seen the Crown Prince being so indulgent of a woman? This woman also brought this courtesan onto the boat. If the Crown Prince really fancied this courtesan, wouldnt she have even more difficulty obtaining the crown Princes favor?
Young Master! the servant girl huffed coquettishly, the voice making Lan You Nians hand tremble holding the teacup, causing the tea spilling out. Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuan immediately take out a handkerchief to wip Lan You Nians fingers, afraid that Lan You Nian was burnt.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan, wanting to read something from Feng Yi Xuans face. Unfortunately, Feng Yi Xuans face only had his worry for her. Perhaps he noticed Lan You Nians on him, Feng Yi Xuan asked, Whats wrong?
Lan You Nian shook her head, and shot a look at the servant girl. The servant girl shot a re at her. Lan You Nian felt she was entirely innocent.
Young master cant forget this maid after obtaining a beauty, the servant girl didnt dare to be presumptuous but she still pouted. The Crown Prince has bestowed his favor on her. Though she doesnt have any status, but which woman in the Crown Princes harem had an official rank? As long as she did well, the Crown Prince will give her a status.
The smile in Hua Xiu Yis eyes deepened. He frivolously stroked the servant girls cheeks, This young masters beauties are so stunning, how can this young master like the new and throw away the old?
The servant girl only cared to being shy and didnt see the disgust as Hua Xiu Yi stroked her cheeks as well as the deep contempt. But Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian caught it. But the two of them werent nosy people and simply sat there tasting the tea.
ADS
Young master! Two coquettish voices sounded at the same time. Lan You Nian didnt know how Hua Xiu Yi was feeling but she couldnt bear it anymore as her entire body gave rise to goosebumps.
Lan You Nian rubbed her arms and said to Hua Xiu Yi, You really hug one left and right but can you stay farther away? Dont lead my hubby astray!
Feng Yi Xuan was pleased by this address of hubby. He simply sat there watching Lan You Nian y, not stopping her as his eyes held an indulgence and helplessness. Though he didnt like Nian Nian speaking with other men, Feng Yi Xuan was certain Nian Nian didnt have any ideas toward Hua Xiu Yi, so Feng Yi Xuan was rest assured.
Because she wasnt someone who was restrained by etiquette, she spoke very straightforwardly. Perhaps in other peoples eyes, Hua Xiu Yi was a brutal Crown Prince but in Lan You Nians eyes, she didnt care at all. She had a huge backing behind her so Lan You Nian didnt mind. She knew Feng Yi Xuan never wished for her to suffer any grievances.
But the servant girl sitting by Hua Xiu Yi didnt think so. She knew Hua Xiu Yis identity as crown prince. A little woman dared to shout at the crown prince. More importantly, this woman wanted the crown prince to leave, the girl felt it was time for her to perform.
Impudent! the servant girl boldly scolded Lan You Nian, What is your identity to speak to young master like this?
Lan You Nian didnt utter a word to retort but the servant girl already died. Her death was caused by her heart vein being shattered by Feng Yi Xuan and her neck was crushed by Hua Xiu Yi. The twos move was practically at the same time, so the servant girl died without even crying out in pain.
Lan You Nian was acquainted with Feng Yi Xuans thought process. Feng Yi Xuan wasnt willing for her to suffer any grievances, nor would he allow anyone to give her an attitude. However, Lan You Nian didnt expect Hua Xiu Yi to kill that woman. In that instant, she couldnt help sighing. It seems the rumors of Hua countrys crown princes inconstancy in love wasnt groundless.
The three didnt show any expression towards the death of the servant girl but theirck of expression made Xian Xian tremble in horror. She grew fearful seeing the two handsome menmitting murder without batting an eysh. Though she wanted glory and wealth, shes never seen murder. She was so afraid she tumbled off from the couch as she scrambled back, fearful she would lose her life if she wasnt careful?
Eh? Lan You Nian purposely looked at Xian Xian on the ground, Whats wrong with this youngdy? Have you scared this little beauty?
ADS
Feng Yi Xuan didnt spare Xian Xian a nce as he said to Lan You Nian, Dont look at her! Feng Yi Xuan felt such a woman dirtied Nian Nians eyes. It was better off killing her.
This young master is so handsome, how can I frighten the beauty? It must be Young Master Xuan who frightened her, Hua Xiu Yi chuckled. He liked dragging Feng Yi Xuan down into the water in front of Lan You Nian, though it was slightly childish doing so.
This youngdy, say, which one of us frightened you? Hua Xiu Yi came over to Xian Xian, pulling her up but his actions couldnt be counted as gentle, making Xian Xian remember the servant girl lying dead there. In an instant, her body shook violently.
Dont you see its you who frightened her? Feng Yi Xuan struck. Towards this love rival that couldnt be counted as a love rival, he still deigned to speak.
Speaking of which, Feng Yi Xuan and Hua Xiu Yi, in this world, in the looks department and martial arts and position in life, they were outstanding men. The two were simrly cruel and unfettered. The only difference was that Feng Yi Xuan was cold on the surface and underneath while Hua Xiu Yi was gentle on the surface and cruel inside. If it wasnt for the fact the two were in two different kingdoms, the two of them would be friends. After all, there werent many people who can be their match in the world. Heroes cherished heroes was really true.
Oh? Hua Xiu Yi didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to answer him. It looks like Feng Yi Xuan was more animated because of Lan You Nian.
Little beauty, you said I frightened you? Hua Xiu Yi asked.
No, you didnt! Xian Xian hastily shook her head, afraid if she was any slower she will lose her head, where was her coquettishness gone?
Didnt youngdy say you wanted to y music? Lan You Nian said. Weve sat there for a while. Why hasnt youngdy yed? You must know Young Master Yi has heard many songs. If it isnt pleasing to the ears, your little life will be lost!
Lan You Nian threatened like this, Xian Xian was even more afraid, regretting evering into this boat.
If youngdy doesnt want to y, how about... Lan You Nians fingers stroked her chin, thinking, while Feng Yi Xuan directly said, Jump!
Though Jiangnans weather was warm, theke was still icy cold. Just based on the fact Xian Xian didnt have any martial arts, shell lose half her life. Lan You Nians eyes glowed saying, What a good idea!
Hua Xiu Yi smirked as he said, You really dont know how to be tender to the fairer sex, but it is a good idea! He looked at Xian Xian, his meaning obvious. Was she going to y a song or jump?
Xian Xians entire person became deathly pale. Her zither ying wasnt good. If she didnt y well, wouldnt she love her life like that servant girl. If she jump into theke, she cant swim. What if she drowned?
The three people didnt look at Xian Xian as they continued drinking tea, as if this Xian Xian wasnt merely a clown in their eyes.
Ill jump! After considering for a moment, Xian Xian came to the decision. She thought based on her reputation in Jiangnan, if she jumped down, thered be a lot of young masters willing to save her. As long as she didnt lose her life, but...
Saying this, Xian Xian walked out of the boat and purposely stood there for a while attracting the attention of many young masters. Then, her eyes shimmering with tears as she intively swept a gaze over the surrounding young masters, then closed her eyes and jumped into the deepke.
One had to say Xian Xian really thought correctly. There were many young masters who wanted to be the hero who saved the beauty but at this moment, Feng Yi Xuan used his internal force to intensify the sound, If some dares to save, I dont mind sending him to see Yama! Feng Yi Xuans voice was cold and full of hostility. In an instant, there was no one who dared to save Xian Xian. A mere brothel prostitute wasnt worth them abandoning their life to save.
Xian Xian wildly pped the water after jumping down, crying for help but when she heard Feng Yi Xuans voice, she grew fearful. She wailed as she drowned in theke, without any sound and breath.
The three people in the boat were expressionless as they listened to Xian Xians crying for help turning into whimpers. None of them were affected.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt allow anyone to save, was for no other reason than that he remembered this woman caused Nian Nian to be upset, so from the very start, Feng Yi Xuan decided to take this womans life, even if this woman was in fact very innocent.
Chapter 216 - Night Scouting Qian Manor to Search for Medicinal Herb
Chapter 216 Night Scouting Qian Manor to Search for Medicinal Herb
Yo, you two woke up quitete! Early in the morning, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian came to the front hall and saw Hua Xiu Yi sitting there.
Speaking of which, it made people feel helpless. Since meeting Hua Xiu Yi at the pleasure boats, after they returned, it was only a few hours passed before they heard the servants report Hua Xiu Yis visitation. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian, as the masters of thepound, received Hua Xiu Yi. They didnt expect since then Hua Xiu Yi refused to leave and lived in the guest room of thepound.
At first An Yi and the others thought had some scheme up his sleeve but it was rejected by Feng Yi Xuan. Though Feng Yi Xuan didnt tell them the reason, they trusted in his decision so they allowed Hua Xiu Yi to live there. Though Hua Xiu Yi was prodigal, he didnt do anything that made others unhappy.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian didnt bother with Hua Xiu Yi, that is to say, they have be immune to Hua Xiu Yis attitude. If you talk to him, he could keep talking half the day away. Who would have thought Hua countrys crown prince was a rambler.
Hua Xiu Yi was used to Feng Yi Xuans attitude. If one day Feng Yi Xuan smiled as he talked to him, Hua Xiu Yi would feel horror. The day he sent people to find where they lived, he came over. All the people living here were all intimatepanions. Hua Xiu Yi saw there was any superior or inferiors between Lan You Nian and the servants. They treated each other sincerely. Hua Xiu Yi didnt know why he impulsively chose to stay here for a few days to enjoy the peaceful life.
Though the people in the manor werent friendly with him nor did they fawn over him like in Hua country, Hua Xiu Yi sighed in relief. He knew what Feng Yi Xuans surroundings was like, just like him. The people below, though respectful and afraid of him, they werent so lively and vivid living. Hua Xiu Yi knew only that woman could make everything be so wonderful.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian, starting to eat. That clinginess made Hua Xiu Yis eyes red from jealousy. He really wanted to snatch the woman over. He will protect her like Feng Yi Xuan, pamper her and give her everything she wanted. But would the woman be willing? If it were another woman, Hua Xiu Yi will certainly unscrupulously steal her but because it was Lan You Nian, Hua Xiu Yi didnt want those dirty tricks to be used on her. He especially didnt want that one day the womans eyes will have resentment when looking at him. Hes afraid...
Just as everyone prepared to eat, Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li walked in. As for the twos rtionship, Hua Xiu Yi understood it from thest few days. He was a person who refused to ept discipline so didnt have any contempt.
Brother Wu An, howe youvee back to eat today? Lan You Nian smiled. Thest few days, Jing Wu An haspletely charmed that Qian Jing Han, making her infatuated with him, hating she couldnt look at Jing Wu an every second of the day. Jing Wu An was pretty incredible, never allowing Qian Jing Han to touch him but use his own means to charm her into obedience. Jing Wu An didnt have any feelings of guilt. Not to mention other things, this Qian Jing Han, though even if she may truly like Jing Wu An, she still stole men outside. If they didntply, they were directed beat to death. Jing Wu An didnt feel unease from lying to such a woman.
If we donte back, hell be eaten by that slut! Makes me so angry! Yu Liu Li angrily drained the tea. Recently he followed Jing Wu An in the shadows, afraid that woman will take liberties with Jing Wu An. Jing Wu An didnt let him the chance to be jealous but seeing the woman revolving around Jing Wu An, he was angry.
Lan You Nian didnt feel it was appropriate for her to say anything because this, more or less, was because of her. Though she knew the two didnt me her, Lan You Nian remembered this favor in her heart.
Ive found out Heaven Tear Hearts whereabouts! Jing Wu An grinned, then looked at Hua Xiu Yi. Though Hua Xiu Yi hasnt done anything inappropriate thest few days, Jing Wu An still wasnt reassured. This matter concerned Nianer meimeis health. He couldnt let someone he didnt trust to know of it.
Hua Xiu Yi understood Jing Wu Ans meaning and suddenly woke up. Thest few days interacting with them made him feel these people were worthy of befriending. Only now did Hua Xiu Yi realize he wasnt their friend but an enemy they guarded against.
Hua Xiu Yi smiled. The smile was still captivating but Lan You Nian can see the loneliness in Hua Xiu Yis eyes. But Lan You Nian didnt say anything because she was a cold blooded person. She didnt have any sympathy.
When Hua Xiu Yi left the hall, Jing Wu An said, I already learned the whereabouts of Heavenly Tear Heart from Qian Jing Han. Heaven Tear Heart is indeed at Qian manor. It is in the head of houses study room!
Lan You Nian frowned. That night she snuck into Qian manors study and meticulously searched throughout but unfortunately she didnt find Heavenly Tear Heart. Lan You Nian believed Feng Yi Xuan was the same.
Jing Wu An saw Lan You Nians confusion and continued, There is a secret room in the study. To open up the mechanism, it is the token hanging from Qian Jing Hans neck but from Qian Jing Hans words, I learned the study leads into the forest. It is heavily plotted with mechanisms and traps!
Its unknown how many years Qian manor has stood erect in Jiangnan. Every generation sat steadily on Jiangnans position of richest man so there must be mechanisms left behind by their ancestors. Feng Yi Xuan knew this trip was dangerous but for Nian Nians body, he can not cower.
Get that token tomorrow! Feng Yi Xuan said to Jing Wu An. Jing Wu An nodded. It was easy dealing with Qian Jing Han. He already secretlymissioned a fake token. All he had to do was rece the real with the fake. No one will notice.
Xuan! Lan You Nian pulled Feng Yi Xuans hand, I will go with you! Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi xuan wanted to get Heaven Tear Heart but Lan You Nian wasnt reassured so she must go too. Whether in life or death, she wanted to apany by Feng Yi Xuans side.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt n to let Lan You Nian go with him but seeing Lan You Nians determination, Feng Yi Xuan knew if he didnt take Lan You Nian, she would be extremely worried. ording to Lan You Nians personality, if he went alone, he will regret it.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan agreed. No matter what danger lies ahead, he will apany by Nian Nians side.
Liu Li and I will go too that night! Jing Wu An suggested. From Qian Jing Hans tone, he knew the secret rooms mechanisms werent easy to deal with. Unfortunately Qian Jing Han didnt see those mechanisms so he didnt know the situation inside.
No need! Nian Nian and I are able! Feng Yi Xuan rejected. It wasnt always good the more people there are. Itll only only alert the enemy.
Jing Wu An knew Feng Yi Xuan had his own thoughts by not letting them go so didnt say anymore. This was the tacit understanding formed from the battlefield. But he couldnt help worrying.
Deep into the darkness of the night, there seemed to be an endless thick ink smeared heavily on the sky. There werent even the faintest shimmer of the stars. All was quiet in the dead of night. Everything on earth entered dreand.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian, dressed in ck stealth uniforms, quietly came to Qian manor. Just as the two prepared to sneak into Qian manor, Feng Yi Xuan suddenly stopped and faced the night sky, Come out!
Lan You Nians martial arts werent as good as Feng Yi Xuan so she didnt notice the the other presence. Her heart rose with vignce knowing this persons martial arts was most likely better than hers but seeing as Feng Yi Xuan didnt appear vignt and intend to attack, Lan You Nian looked into the darkness without saying anything.
Tsk tsk, I didnt expect your martial arts to have be so proficient! Hua Xiu Yi walked out from within the darkness. In the past, he had sparred with Feng Yi Xuan. It was several years ago. At the time their martial arts was practically at the same level and tied. But now, Feng Yi Xuans martial arts was clearly more powerful.
Lan You Nian saw the neer was Hua Xiu Yi and was startled. She didnt expect Hua Xiu Yi toe here.
What are you doing here? Feng Yi Xuan demanded with a cold face, though he already had an answer in his heart but he still asked it out loud.
Hua Xiu Yi wore a ck stealth uniform. Whereever this guy went, he was frisky, even if wearing such clothing he slightly revealed his chest by the cor. Under the moonlight, it showed temptation. Unfortunately the woman he wanted to tempt didnt spare him a nce,cking any feeling.
I know you guys are going to Qian manor to get Heaven Tear Heart. I will help you! Hua Xiu Yi didnt know what he was thinking. When he learned of the matter, his first reason was to worry about Lan You Nian. He knew Lan You Nian had Feng Yi Xuans protection but he wanted to go with. Speaking of which, it was funny. He, Hua Xiu Yi, in his life, when has he been so kind, so kind that it made Hua Xiu Yi want to spurn his deliberate gestures. But no matter what, he could not deny he liked that woman. He wanted to protect her. It had nothing to do with schemes and intrigues.
Lan You Nians mouth opened to refuse but Feng Yi Xuans voice rang, Alright!
Feng Yi Xuan wasnt oblivious to Hua Xiu Yis intentions. If it was a usual time, he will have Hua Xiu Yi stay far far away but there was an unknown danger bying here. Though he will definitely protect Nian Nian, there is always the possibly of idents. Hua Xiu Yis martial arts wasnt bad. An extra person meant a greater odds. He was merely using Hua Xiu Yi for his martial arts. From Hua Xiu Yis gaze, he can tell Hua Xiu Yi wasnt here to mess around. To have such a persons help, it was pretty good.
Unknown to Hua Xiu Yi, as he was thinking about protecting the woman he loved, he was being used by Feng Yi Xuan as a guard and subordinate. But even if Hua Xiu Yi knew, he wont love. People like them were really pitiful. If they didnt like, they can cruelly and heartless but if their heart was moved, it was true and sincere. Hua Xiu Yi has never liked any woman but now his heart is touched, he couldnt stop his own feelings. He could only watch as he sunk deeper and deeper.
Chapter 217 - Lan You Nian is Injured
Chapter 217 Lan You Nian is Injured
The residence built by Qian manor had a gray roof over white walls and a grand gateway arch. There were intricate carvings on the walls of the arch. The carvings on the roof was even more exquisite. There was a continuous water system running through the entire building. In addition with the verdant trees offering shade and the mountains echoing in reply, it gave people a feeling of being in a paradise.
Though there were many guards and manservants milling around the outskirts of Qian manor-there was an even more good number of shadow guards hidden in the shadows-the three of their martial arts was superior, so they very easily steered away from them and arrived at a study. The study was pitch ck. The three of them sneakily inched open the doors of the study. In a blink of an eye, they darted into the study, closing the doors without anyone noticing.
The three of them had superior martial arts so even though it was night, they can still discern theyout of the study. The three of them shared a look with one another; then, they immediately started searching for the position of the mechanism. Because they had the token, they easily found the mechanism which was the inkstone on the study desk.
Feng Yi Xuan took out the token given to him by Jing Wu An and pressed the token onto the inkstone. The two objects seemed to merge together without a gap. As the token connected with the inkstone, the studys bookshelf gradually shifted. In a breath, the bookshelf opened up, revealing the stairs inside.
Feng Yi Xuan peeled the token off and put it back into his sleeve and held Lan You Nian as they entered the secretpartment. Hua Xiu Yi rubbed his nose, gazing helplessly at the two people who paid him no heed, and followed them in. The moment the three entered the hiddenpartment, the bookshelf entrance shut behind them. It wasnt really a room for there was only a set of stairs that led to an unknown ce. The marble walls of the steps were hung with night pearls, allowing them to see their current situation, silent yet full of danger.
Truly derserving of being Jiangnans wealthiest family. No ordinary n can aplish such a style! Hua Xiu Yimended. It was normal for any family to have a secret room, but its unknown where this secretpartment leads off to.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded in agreement. He gripped Lan You Nians hand even tighter and said, Be careful! This was not only said to Lan You Nian, it was also intended for Hua Xiu Yi, not that he suddenly became concerned for Hua Xiu Yi, but Feng Yi Xuan knew that such a person with powerful martial arts increased the odds of Lan You Nians safety.
Hua Xiu Yi, on the other hand, was stunned, not expecting this iceberg-like Feng Yi Xuan to say such words. It gave Hua Xiu Yi chills thinking about it. Could it be his beauty that made Feng Yi Xuan take pity on him? Pei pei, Hua Xiu Yiughed foolishly. What nonsense was he thinking of? With Feng Yi Xuans temper, he probably wants him to protect Lan You Nian. This time, he willingly lets himself be calcted.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nians hand as they walked forward while Hua Xiu Yi tailed behind them. They walked on the steps without making a sound, their expressions serious and whole person alert. After theyve been walking on the steps for a while, suddenly there was a sound of something whizzing through the air. From the wall, several arrows shot out.
The three of them were constantly on alert so when the arrows darted out, the three of immediately dashed ahead, taking out their daggers and deftly cut off the ceaseless rain of arrows. Lan You Nian was more thorough in observation, noticing the arrows shone with a ck light, which meant the arrows carried poison. Lan You Nian warned the others, Theres poison on the arrows!
Hearing this, Feng Yi Xuan and Hua Xiu Yi were even more attentive, not for themselves but for Lan You Nian. Because there were too many arrows, Feng Yi Xuan was forced to yank Lan You Nians hand. His entire body blocked in front of Lan You Nian. If there were too many arrows and they couldnt withstand it, there wouldnt be any harm to Lan You Nian. Meanwhile, Hua Xiu Yi rounded on Lan You Nians back, protecting her as he paid attention to the surrounding arrows. At times when Lan You Nian struggled, he would lend a hand.
After a while, the rain of arrows finally ceased. They stopped for a moment to recover some strength. Feng Yi Xuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the thinyer of sweat on Lan You Nians forehead and carefully scanned Lan You Nian, gently asking, Are you hurt?
Lan You Nians eyes shed and smiled, Of course not! You?
Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian was indeed uninjured and was reassured as he answered, Im fine!
Hua Xiu Yi nced at Lan You Nian, his eyes pervaded with an unknown light. At this moment, Lan You Nian turned her head to look at Hua Xiu Yi, her eyes carried a warning as she smiled, Is Crown Prince Hua injured? From her voice, one couldnt hear anything wrong but Lan You Nians gaze werent too friendly.
Hua Xiu Yi smiled bitterly and shot Feng Yi Xuan a veiled look of envy, recovering his charming low-tone voice, This crown prince has powerful martial arts. How can I be hurt?
Hearing Hua Xiu Yis words, Lan You Nian sighed in relief inside and withdrew her gaze.
Tired? Feng Yi Xuan knew they shouldnt stay here long so added, Let me carry you on my back?
Lan You Nian shook her head. Though Feng Yi Xuan felt heartache for her, even at this time he didnt want her to suffer, Lan You Nian has never been a delicate, fragile girl. Especially at a time like this, how can she drag down Feng Yi Xuans physical strength?
Seeing Lan You Nians determination, Feng Yi Xuan only gripped Lan You Nians hand and continued forward. At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan didnt notice when he was going to hold Lan You Nians right hand, Lan You Nian offered her left hand instead. Hua Xiu Yi saw it clearly; however, he knew he cant say anything. If he mentioned it, Lan You Nian probably wont ever mind him again.
Hua Xiu Yis eyes shed staring at the twos intersecting fingers. When they were blocking the rain of arrows, Feng Yi Xuan kept protecting Lan You Nian from the front while he protected her from the back. At that time, a hidden weapon that was simr to a nail darted out by Feng Yi Xuan. Before he could react, he saw Lan You Nian using her dagger to block it. Because the hidden weapon was too powerful, Hua Xiu Yi clearly saw the hidden weapons sharpness cutting Lan You Nians wrist. Actually, it wasnt much of an injury but in that instant, the wound turned a ck tinge.
At that moment, Hua Xiu Yi was very worried but when he noticed Lan You Nian shot him a look, that look clearly warned him not to disclose it. In addition with the unending rain of arrows, Hua Xiu Yi saved his energy to block those arrows. As for Lan You Nian, she tugged on her sleeves to hide the fine cut.
Hua Xiu Yi looked at Lan You Nian who appeared fine but wasnt reassured by this; however, he understood Lan You Nians misgivings. From the moment they entered the secret room, they couldnt turn back because there was no turning back from this mechanism. They can only find the exit, only then will they bepletely safe. If at this time Feng Yi Xuan knew of Lan You Nians injury and being poisoned, Feng Yi Xuan wont allow Lan You Nian to do anything and will only protect Lan You Nian. To this extend, it would be a cumbrance. Thus, he can only conceal the matter and find the exit as quickly as possible.
Hua Xiu Yis heart ached for that this strong woman who was able to remain calm in a moment like this. At the same time, he envied Feng Yi Xuan for being able to obtain her love. There was still faint worry in his heart he couldnt ignore, but he couldnt do anything. The most important thing to do was to find the exit.
At this moment, Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi didnt see Feng Yi Xuans countenance as he was walking in the very front. The deep pupils were like a bottomless abyss, exuding an air of death.
Feng Yi Xuan was always constantly paying attention to Lan You Nian, so how could he not notice when Nian Nians wrist was injured. Feng Yi Xuan knew at the very start when the hidden weapon shot out. At that time, he wasnt able to dodge, because once he evaded it, the countless arrows would be aimed at Nian Nian. Nian Nian wasnt capable of evading all of them. He already prepared to be injured, but he didnt expect Nian Nian to cut off the hidden weapon. There were actually two hidden weapons; hence why it cut Nian Nian.
When Feng Yi Xuan asked Lan You Nian if she was hurt, he was prepared to hold Nian Nian in his arms, but when he saw Nian Nian didnt exin, seeing Nian Nians concealment, how could he not know Nian Nians intentions? He knew doing so was for the best, so he did as she wished and pretended he didnt know.
The steps seemed to be very long. The three of them walked for a long time before they reached the end. Then, they noticed there was a pce-like chamber at the end of the steps. In the very center of the chamber, there was a box. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian were instantly certain this box most likely contained Heavens Tear Heart.
But none of the three moved, for Jing Wu An warned them this secret room leads to some kind of forest or some other ce. There wasnt an exit in this room, which meant there was a big problem with this chamber.
Lan You Nian took off the hairpin on her head and threw it at the middle of the chamber. Sure enough, from all four sides, countless arrows and hidden weapons sprung out. If they really acted recklessly and went to take the object, though they might not lose their life, they would certainly be gravely injured.
After the arrows and hidden weapons have stopped, Lan You Nian took out the white silk she carried with her. You guys control the silk while Ill go grab it. Their position was quite a distance from the the center. Hence, Lan You Nian was going to get it herself. By letting Feng Yi Xuan control the silk, if something went wrong, Feng Yi Xuan could yank her back at the first instant. If he couldt drag her back, at the very least, Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt be injured. Before when she hasnt fallen in love, Lan You Nian never considered she could be so selfless, but she truly didnt wish for Feng Yi Xuan to be hurt.
Just as Lan You Nians voice ended, she received two peoples refusal. Feng Yi Xuan could never allow Lan You Nian to take the risk. Hence, he said to Lan You Nian, My martial arts isparatively better. Ill go get it. You can be reassured!
But how can Lan You Nian be reassured? However, it wasnt a solution if the two of them continued on this stalemate. Thus, Lan You Nian grit her teeth saying, Together! No matter they encounter today, she must apany Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, agreeing. At the same time, he shot a look at Hua Xiu Yi, the expression was obscure and difficult to understand, but Hua Xiu Yi understood. Hua Xiu Yi dropped his indecorous smile, nodding his head solemnly.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nians hand, using qinggong to fly towards the center of the room. Then, the two of them stopped before a box. Lan You Nian opened the box and saw a purple medicinal herb sleeping inside. The purple herb was the very Heavens Tear Heart theyve been searching for all along.
The two shared a look, prepared to look. But at this moment, the entire room the floor opened up. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian fell before they could react.
In an instant, Feng Yi Xuan pulled Lan You Nian into his arms; however, when he noticed there was water below and spikes in the water, Feng Yi Xuan used martial force to thrust Lan You Nian up. Under Lan You Nians worried and disbelieving eyes, he threw Lan You Nian out of the trap they tumbled into.
Lan You Nian didt expect Feng Yi Xuan to throw her out for her own safety. The moment he threw her up, it meant hell fall down even faster. Lan You Nian was so fearful. She feared the trap below will harm Feng Yi Xuan.
Trust me! Feng Yi Xuans voice was carried by internal force. Lan You Nian bit down on her lips watching Feng Yi Xuan fall. She was thrown into the open space adjacent to theirs. It was clear it wasnt as dangerous in this space.
Lan You Nian trusted Feng Yi Xuan, knowing hell be fine. Then, she must focus on not letting herself be injured.
Just as Lan You Nian steadied her emotions watching as she fell, she noticed her waist being held. Lan You Nian joyously looked over but seeing Hua Xiu Yi, she was obviously disappointed. But this wasnt the time to talk.
Chapter 218 - You Nian, Xuan Xuan Fall Into Trap
Chapter 218 You Nian, Xuan Xuan Fall Into Trap
As for Hua Xiu Yi jumping down, Lan You Nian was surprised. Hua Xiu Yi, in Lan You Nians heart, was an extremely selfish man. It was good if he didnt step on them while theyre in danger. She didnt expect he would make such a move.
Hua Xiu Yi himself couldnt exin the reasoning behind his own actions. When he saw the two fall down at the same time, he was worried. Then, when he saw Feng Yi Xuan not care about himself and pushed Lan You Nian away from that trap, he was shocked. But when he saw Lan You Nian was about to fall into another trap, Hua Xiu Yi, without even thinking, jumped into this mechanism. In the moment he touched Lan You Nian, Hua Xiu Yi felt he did the right thing.
When Feng Yi Xuan sent Lan You Nian out of the trap, he already had a n. He knew he might be able to escape from this trap but Nian Nian couldnt. As for the other trap, he already assessed it in that instant. With Nian Nians abilities, she might get hurt but she will live. However, Feng Yi Xuan didnt expect to see Hua Xiu Yi to jump down to help Nian Nian. If it was usual time, Feng Yi Xuan will be jealous and get angry to kill Hua Xiu Yi, but in this moment, Feng Yi Xuan only felt gratitude. As long as Nian Nian was safe and sound, for Feng Yi Xuan, nothing was more important. As for those petty thoughts and the taste of vinegar, how can itpare to Nian Nians safety?
Feng Yi Xuan retracted his attention and held his breath as he plunged into the ice cold bone-piercing cold pool. From the start, Feng Yi Xuan knew there was a cold pool below. It was a thousand year old cold pool. Plunging into the cold pool, even if Feng Yi Xuan had internal force protecting his body, he still felt his bones were being frozen into ice. Feng Yi Xuan only felt d he sent Nian Nian out. Otherwise, with Nian Nians body, if she fell into this cold pool, it would most likely end up taking Nian Nians life.
Even if Feng Yi Xuan had powerful martial arts, the moment he fell into the water, his back was pricked by the countless barbs in the water. In moments, his back became bloody. His injured back were especially painful in the cold water. Feng Yi Xuans feet kicked, preparing to swim to shore. Feng Yi Xuan was still some distance from the shore when Feng Yi Xuans ears twitched and noticed many unknown fish emerged in the water. These fish gaped open their serrated mouths. Smelling the blood, they wildly swam at Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan took out his dagger, slicing off a fish that was about to take a bite out of his legs and swam even quicker. However, there was so many fish in the pool and the water cantpare tond which more or less slowed him down. Though Feng Yi Xuan remained cautious, he was still bitten by some fish and received several injuries before he swam up to shore.
Feng Yi Xuan swiftly leapt out of the water and ontond. What was so horrifying was that some of those fish even jumped out of the pool, wanting to take a bite out of Feng Yi xuan. Feng Yi Xuan red coldly at the ice cold pool. His skin has been frozen that it was slightly blue tinged. If it wasnt for Feng Yi Xuans immense internal strength, he would have frozen to death. Feng Yi Xuan very simply stopped the blood of the wounds on his back and wounds from being bitten. Those medicine were ones Nian Nian had stuffed in his clothes when they leftst night. Thinking of Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan felt anxious inside.
Unheeding to his need for rest, Feng Yi Xuan started to search for a way out. He knew Nian Nian was still waiting for him. His Nian Nian was still there. He must get out as quickly as possible...
Hua Xiu Yi held Lan You Nian as they fell rapidly. Though Lan You Nian disliked other peoples nearness, this wasnt the time to act out. If they werent careful, they could both lose their lives. She knew with Feng Yi Xuans capabilities, he would make it out alive, so she must live also.
From a distance, they saw the ce they were about to fall was a mottled earth covered with thorns that were applied with poison. Lan You Nian adjusted her body so that she wont be so greatly injured when she fell; it was especially important to avoid those vital areas.
Just as Lan You Nian was done preparing, as they were about to crash, Hua Xiu Yi twisted as he held Lan You Nian, making it so Hua Xiu Yi was on the bottom and Lan You Nian was on top. Lan You Nian didnt have the time to be surprised for they already crashed onto the ground, apanied by Hua Xiu Yis groan as well as a faint scent of blood.
In an instant, Lan You Nian scrambled off of Hua Xiu Yi and hastily yanked Hua Xiu Yi up. The barbs were in too deep. When Lan You Nian pulled Hua Xiu Yi up, she could hear the sound of the barbs being ripped out. Lan You Nian rounded on Hua Xiu Yi to look at his back and sure enough, she saw several holes flowing with ck blood. It appears to be poisoned. Lan You Nian looked at Hua Xiu Yis wound without saying a word. She really didnt understand why Hua Xiu Yi did that.
What? Are you moved by this crown prince? Hua Xiu Yi endured the pain on his body, smirking as he said, Or do you want to repay with your body? This crown prince doesnt mind!
Lan You Nian pushed back herplicated emotions to look at Hua Xiu Yi. No matter what, Hua Xiu Yi did save her. She owed him a favor, Lan You Nian thought indifferently, without considering the possibility of Hua Xiu Yis other intentions for her.
If you continue to utter nonsense, theres no need for you to leave for Ill kill you! Lan You Nian snapped coldly. She disliked Hua Xiu Yi from the start. Now because Hua Xiu Yi did this, there was a slight change in her opinion but it wasnt enough to joke around like friends.
Lan You Nian took out the ointment she carried with her and handed it to Hua Xiu Yi, Apply it!
Hua Xiu Yi looked at the quality ointment, feeling a sliver of delight and warmth. Only such a woman who clearly is apathetic and cruel yet at the same time filled with warmth. Wasnt such a person a contradiction? But it made people want toe closer.
This crown prince was injured because of you. It wouldnt be excessive if you put it on for me right? Hua Xiu Yi asked roguishly. His back hurt so much he wanted to shout but when he looked at thepletely unharmed girl in front of him, Hua Xiu Yi felt his injuries were worth it.
Lan You Nian emotionlessly peered at Hua Xiu Yi as her pink lips spat out words that angered one to death, You were going to be injured anyways! The ointment she carried with her were the best. Those personally prepared by Medical Valleys valley master were in high demand butcking in supply. Yet this Hua Xiu Yi was still babbling, so noisy.
Hearing Lan You Nians heartless words, Hua Xiu Yi didnt know what his expression should be. If a normal woman encountered such a situation, wouldnt they be utterly moved? But looking at Lan You Nian, where was any appearance of being touched? Hua Xiu Yi felt he was so wronged.
Lan You Nian turned around to let Hua Xiu Yi apply the ointment. Because it was on his back, it took a great effort from Hua Xiu Yi. After struggling for some time, he spilled the medicinal powder on. The holes on his back have stopped bleeding. Hua Xiu Yi was fascinated, not expecting Lan You Nians medicinal powder to be so good.
After Hua Xiu Yi had applied the medicine, Lan You Nian raised her feet, about to continue walking but Hua Xiu Yis voice started, Eh? Arent I the patient? Cant we rest a bit before walking? Hua Xiu Yi wasnt lying. Though the wound have stopped bleeding, it couldnt cure the poison. He already felt dizzy.
Lan You Nian nced at Hua Xiu Yi, knowing Hua Xiu Yi is poisoned but she was more worried about Feng Yi Xuans safety. Feng Yi Xuans side was more dangerous than it was here. The most important for her was to escape from here as fast as possbile. Hence, LAn You Nian didnt speak and continued advancing forward.
Hua Xiu Yi saw Lan You Nian leave by herself. His pale lips tugged bitterly, So heartless! But, he couldnt put her down, what should he do?
The two of them started looking for an exit in this unknown forest. As long as they were able to leave this forest, everything would be easy. Its a pity that after wandering for two days, they still havent escaped the forest...
Because of two days depletion, Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi have been satisfying their hunger on the wild fruits in the forest and when theyre thirsty, theyd quench their thirst by drinking from the spring in the forest. Lan Yous body wasnt good in the first ce; plus, with rpse of the poison, shes lost a lot of weight, but her expression was still alert, not dispirited at all. Until thest minute, she didnt allow herself to give up.
Hua Xiu Yi wasnt any better off. Maybe because of the poison, Hua Xiu Yis face was a little blue. The previously unscrupulous image has be drab. During the night, they rested in the forest, though Lan You Nian was determined to stay vigil for the night, she was refused by Hua Xiu Yi. Hence, why Hua Xiu Yi was so diposed.
Do you want to rest for a bit? Hua Xiu Yi asked Lan You Nian. He liked Lan You Nian in the past; otherwise he wouldnt have jumped into the trap without a care to his life. After two days of interaction, Hua Xiu Yi not only liked Lan You Nian, he appreciated and admired Lan You Nian. Such a woman showed no anxiety or weakness and her attitude and skill shown were impressive.
Lan You Nian looked at Hua Xiu Yi who was almost unable to support his body and nodded. The two of them sat down on respective rocks, watching as the night quietly fell upon them. Though Lan You Nian was in a hurry to get out, Lan You Nian wasnt blind to Hua Xiu Yis care for her thest two days; so, her attitude towards Hua Xiu Yi was much improved but without any affection, because all her affections were given to Feng Yi Xuan. She was unable to give another person a sliver.
Just as the two were resting, the two suddenly stood up. They both heard the rustling soundsing from the forest. It wasnt sounds of footsteps but those of wild beasts. Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yis entire body tensed up, gripping their daggers standing ready as they scanned the pitch ck forest.
When Lan You Nian saw the wolf pack emerging from the forest, her hold tightened around the dagger while Hua Xiu Yi shown a rare grim expression. In the darkness, it was difficult to see how many wolves there were, but seeing the eyes that glowed green, they knew it wasnt a small amount.
Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi didnt dare recklessly move, afraid theyd provoke the wolf pack. It would be fine it was only one or two but now there were so many wolves, no matter how powerful they were, theyd be at a disadvantage should they get into a fight with these beasts. Additionally, they didnt have any weapons except their daggers.
I will try deal with these wolves. You find an opportunity to run! Hua Xiu Yi moved over to Lan You Nian, saying. He could even catch of whiff of Lan You Nians bodily fragrance. Hua Xiu Yi felt he was really sick, the sickness was not light, but if it was for this woman, he wont have any regrets.
Lan You Nians eyes shed and shook her head. She didnt possess any thoughts of repaying the favor but rather they still have some chances of winning. If it was only one person, they could only die. Besides, where could she run to? She wasnt familiar with these woods but these wolves were. She couldnt run far; thus, she can only fight!
Hua Xiu Yi wasnt aware of Lan You Nians thoughts. Seeing Lan You Nian want to stay, he felt his heart warm. This was the first time he wasnt abandoned by another person, nor did he abandon the other. This feeling wasnt bad.
Maybe because the wolves lost patience, a few fierce wolves directly snarled at Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi and pounced. Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi, in the wolves eyes, were a delicious dinner. The wolves barred their teeth, drool dripping from the gaps between the sharp teeth, appearing even more horrifying in the night.
One ferocious wolf charged at Lan You Nian. As the wolfs sharp teeth were about to snap Lan You Nians neck, Lan You Nian shifted, her upper torso turned sideways, dodging the wolfs teeth. Clenching the dagger in her hand, her hand shed like lightning as the de thrust into that wolfs skill. The ferocious wolf died instantly.
Hua Xiu Yi, though hes been poisoned, his martial arts werent bad. When the wolves rushed at him, his whole body leapt onto the wolfs body, and like Lan You Nian, a swipe of the de ended its life. The wolfs blood sprayed onto Hua Xiu Yis face, adding a bloody charm to Hua Xiu Yis fine, attractive cheeks.
Though Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi killed several wolves, it only enraged the wolf pack even more. By nature, wolves are pack animals. All of the wolves became restless. Those wolves stared at Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi, their ck eyes full of savagery. The alpha of the pack howled. The wolves seemed to have received a message as all the wolves toned hind legs bent, kicked, leaping in streamline formation with their maws wide open, aiming for Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yis necks.
Lan You Nians dagger danced rapidly. In an instant, she killed the nearest wolves. Hua Xiu Yi wasnt a weakling, either. A few wolves died by a st from his internal force.
While Lan You Nian focused on holding against one wolf after another, a ferocious wolf opened its mouth, about to chomp down on Lan You Nians arm. It was at this moment, it was blocked. The wolf snapped down on Hua Xiu Yis arm.
It was a good thing Hua Xiu Yi moved quickly. Only a piece of flesh was bitten off from the arm; the bone wasnt harmed. Only the arm holding the dagger was no longer so agile.
Lan You Nian scanned the mass of wolves and shouted to Hua Xiu Yi, Run! Saying this, she yanked on Hua Xiu Yis injured arm, using qinggong to escape promptly. The wolves chased at their heels, making Lan You Nian feel the impulse to curse. Why were these wolves so determined and untiring?
Hua Xiu Yi looked at the arm being yanked on, suddenly feeling warm inside. All these years, he felt he had no heart, always feeling like their was a big hole there, blowing with cold wind. But now, Hua Xiu Yi felt his heart was warm, especially warm.
Hua Xiu Yi suddenly eximed, Do you see? It looks like theres a cave ahead!
Lan You Nian turned her gaze in that direction. Sure enough, there was cave. In unison, the two of them headed in another direction to lure the wolf pack away. Then, controlling their qinggong to the max, they flew up onto the lush sky-reaching trees. The dense branches and leaves blocked them from sight. From above, they looked down at the wolf pack that was still wandering around searching for them.
The two of them silently flew in the direction of the cave...
Chapter 219 - Hua Xiu Yi’s Protection
Chapter 219 Hua Xiu Yis Protection
The cave didnt seem to be artificially made but naturally formed. The area surrounding the cave was overgrown with weeds. Lan You Nian helped Hua Xiu Yi into the cave. After Hua Xiu Yi sat down, Lan You Nian found many branches to cover up the entrance of the cave so the wolf pack wouldnt find them.
The entire cavern was pitch ck but fortunately, Hua Xiu Yi carried a fire pipe*. In moments, the branches the two gathered rose up into a fire, adding some warmth and light to the darkness. The two were dying from exhaustion from running. Once they could rx, they sat down on the ground from exhaustion.
Hua Xiu Yi watched the pile of firewood burn up. Her gaze was dazed as if caught in her own thoughts. Looking at Lan You Nian hugging her knees, Hua Xiu Yi suddenly felt no matter how the girl showed her strength and toughness, once she calmed down, it made peoples heart ache, like a small animal that lost its way.
Lan You Nian missed Feng Yi Xuan. They were already in danger here but Feng Yi Xuan was in even more danger. Lan You Nian knew of Feng Yi Xuans abilities and martial arts but she couldnt help worrying inside...
After Feng Yi Xuan broke through the traps, without regard to his life, he finally walked out of the forest in the mountains. Only when he walked out did Feng Yi realize this forested mountain was in Jiangnan. Uncaring about the countless injuries on his body and worn-out spirit, for he didnt rest at all thest few days, for he must strive to get out and search for Nian Nian as quickly as possible, Feng Yi Xuan snatched a horse and raced to thepound.
The people at thepound were extremely anxious. Master and matriarch have already left several days but there wasnt any news from them. An Yi knew master let him rest assured before leaving but An Yi still sent many people to Qian manor to look about but there werent any results. Everyone knew master and matriarch must have been caught in a trap.
When Feng Yi Xuan returned to thepound, An Yi and the others were extremely surprised. But when they saw Feng Yi Xuan return by himself, terror struck their hearts.
Nian Nian hasnte back? Feng Yi Xuan didnt dismount from the horse and directly asked. He made a trip back, fearing hell miss Nian Nian if she came back first.
An Yi and the others saw the masters clothes were ragged. Seeing the injuries on his body were still red, they were all worried. Hearing the masters anxious voice, they instantly answered, The matriarch hasnt returned!
Lan Qu and the others eyes were red as they anxiously asked, Ming wang, wheres young miss? Wheres young miss?
Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer. To An Yi, he said, Follow! Then, whipping the horse around, he galloped out. Passing by the trap in the forest, he analyzed that Nian Nian would head to the forest after falling into the trap, so Feng Yi Xuan only had to head there.
An Yi and An Yi immediately jumped onto horses to follow their master. Lan Feng and Lan Ren, too, mounted horses. Another guard named AMu followed as well. He was Hua Xiu Yis guard. Though Lan Qu and Lan Wu wanted to go, they were aware that with their martial arts, not only will they not be able to help young miss, they will only be a burden. They could only worry as they wait at thepound.
When the others followed Feng Yi Xuan, arriving at the dense forest where one couldnt see daylight, their faces became grim.
An Yi looked at masters injuries, Master, this subordinate carries medicine. Master should treat the wounds first! An Yi felt numb from looking at such densely scattered injuries but it seemed master didnt feel them at all.
No need! Feng Yi Xuan rejected as he continued to hasten on the road. His whole heart and eyes were all filled with Nian Nians safety, fearing if he waste, Nian Nian will suffer misgivings. Where did he have time to care about the injuries on his body?
An Si took out the wound medicine saying, Master, if you dont apply medicine and bandage it, if the matriarch sees it, think how distressed shell be. The matriarch will feel extremely guilty!
Sure enough, when Feng Yi Xuan heard An Sis words, he considered it for a moment and stopped his steps, saying, Apply the medicine immediately! Usually, he would apply the medicine himself but time was too precious. An Si them were all men and have been his subordinates since he was young so there wasnt anything to be particr about.
An Si, hearing this, applied the medicine on Feng Yi Xuans injuries. Knowing master was anxious to search for the matriarch, An Si only simply bound up the wounds. Making certain there was nothing serious, they headed deep into the forest...
By the time Lan You Nian came out of her thoughts, she noticed the fire from the firewood already extinguished. Lan You Nian felt the night was still cold in the forest and had to set up a fire again. When she looked at Hua Xiu Yi, she noticed there was something wrong with Hua Xiu Yi.
Lan You Nian walked over to Hua Xiu Yis side and realized Hua Xiu Yi was sluggish and his entire body was trembling from the cold. Lan You Nian pressed her fingers against Hua Xiu Yis pulse. In a moment, Lan You Nian knew Hua Xiu Yi was suffering from poison, in addition with his wounds, causing such symptoms. If they didnt treat the poison in time, it would be a great danger to his life.
Lan You Nian hesitated. She didnt carry any medicinal pills that could cure poison. If she were to save Hua Xiu Yi, she would need to use her own blood, which is the reason why she came out unscathed from the poison in the secret room. Shes never considered using her own blood for someone else, besides Feng Yi Xuan. Her blood wasnt an effective treatment for curing the poison. Due to all the medicines she has eaten, it could only relieve some effects of the poison.
Lan You Nian was a cold person so she prepared to drop the fingers on Hua Xiu Yis pulse and not bother with whatever was to happen to Hua Xiu Yi nor would she offer a hand. If he were to die from the poison, Lan You Nian didnt care at all. But at this moment Lan You Nians hand was tightly grabbed by Hua Xiu Yi. At this moment, Lan You Nian realized Hua Xiu Yis frailness. Perhaps because it was cold, his fine eyebrows were tightly furrowed. He appeared very upset. It was an expression that a conscious Hua Xiu Yi didnt possess.
Lan You Nian was about to rip her hands out but Hua Xiu Yi seemed to be clinging to life, unwilling to let go of her hand. His entire body was curled up there.
No! No! Hua Xiu Yi cried, his voice shaking. Then, maybe having dreamt something, tears slipped out of his eyes. His hold on Lan You Nians hand became even stronger as his voice hoarsely cried, Why? Why? No!
Lan You Nian knew every person had their own secrets but this kind of Hua Xiu Yi was too much like the past her, the same helplessness and grief. It could only be caused by the heart-stabbing agony.
Lan You Nian sighed, knowing she couldnt stand on the sidelines. Recalling Hua Xiu Yis care and protection for her thest few days, she really owed Hua Xiu Yi. If such a Hua Xiu Yi were to be friends and not enemies, it would be a good thing.
Lan You Nian helplessly said to the trembling Hua Xiu Yi, Youre fine, dont be afraid, its over now!
In Hua Xiu Yis drowsy dreams, he dreamt of the dirty and disgusting thing. He was helpless, he was afraid, he wanted to run away, but at this moment he caught a hand that seemed to save his life. Hua Xiu Yi felt he was no longer so cold. Hua Xiu Yi heard a softforting voice telling him he was fine. Hua Xiu Yi saw the horrifying thing in his dream slowly drift away from him.
Lan You Nian grabbed the dagger, slicing through her arm and dripped some blood into Hua Xiu Yis mouth just as Hua Xiu Yi opened his eyes.
Hua Xiu Yi felt the bloody taste in his mouth before he had opened his eyes. He forced himself to open his eyes and looked into Lan You Nians eyes. Lan You Nians pitch-ck eyes were dark and deep, as deep as the ck night nketed with dazzling stars, so beautiful it made addicted to silent danger.
After Hua Xiu Yi became conscious, he saw Lan You Nians arm had an open wound with blood flowing from it and into his mouth. Hua Xiu Yi struggled to rise but his head was still very faint.
What are you doing? Hua Xiu Yi asked in disbelief. He saw Lan You Nian retracted her arm. The white and tender arm was covered with faint wounds, making Hua Xiu Yi appalled. Just what would let this girl who didnt allow herself to suffer losses to have so many scars on her arm.
Youre suffering from poisoning. My blood can suppress your poison. We must hurry out to get the antidote! Lan You Nian left Hua Xiu Yis side to sit down somewhere else as if the one who saved him wasnt her.
Hua Xiu Yis eyes shed with affectation. He didnt expect Lan You Nian to save him. He felt good. This feeling was very good. Hua Xiu Yi could tell Lan You Nians eyes didnt have gratitude or feelings for him. It was still the same indifference. Only in front of Feng Yi Xuan would this girl be spoiled.
Thank you! Hua Xiu Yi smiled. The smile was sincere. Its a pity Lan You Nian had no intention of admiring it. The two rested as they sat silently in the narrow cave of the mountain.
It was rare for Hua Xiu Yi to speak so little. He looked at the newly bandaged arm, not knowing what he was feeling inside. It seemed beside his mother passed, no one has been so kind to him, or that is hes never epted anyones kindness.
Towards Hua Xiu Yis thanks, Lan You Nian remained expressionless. She merely thought Hua Xiu Yi looked like her past self.
The two sat there resting a while. When the sky lit up, Lan You Nian walked over to the cave entrance and carefully scanned her surroundings. She wasnt being overly cautious for a lot of times the abilities of the wild beasts, they humans couldntpare. Wild animals sense of smell was very keen. The outside of the cave appeared still. Lan You Nian removed the branches covering up the cave entrance and walked out of the cave. Hua Xiu Yi, though still frail, followed out.
Dont walk so fast. Im an invalid! Hua Xiu Yiined to Lan You Nian who was walking very fast in front of him. In his heart, he didnt want to get out so quickly. He felt thest few days in the forest was even happier than having a warm bed. He was well aware that once they escaped from the forest theyll go their own way. Since he understood his own feelings and understood Lan You Nians, he didnt n to steal Lan You Nian away. So let him be a little selfish and leave himself some memories.
Suddenly, Lan You Nian stopped. Hua Xiu Yi was thrilled he could finally rest but his eyes widened...
Chapter 220 - I Will Find You
Chapter 220 I Will Find You
Not far from Lan You Nian, the pack of wolves fromst night watched the two of them closely. Even more numbing to ones scalp was the eyes of the pack of wolves became even more vicious, likely because they searched for them all night long as well as the fact they killed many of their wolf brethren.
Hua Xiu Yi took a few steps, stopping by Lan You Nians side, watching as the pack of wolves gazes became even more dangerous.
Lan You Nian softly said to Hua Xiu Yi, Can you take it? She knew Hua Xiu Yis body was especially weak from the poison. Now they shed with the wolf pack, they really too unlucky. If it was before, she could expressionlessly leave Hua Xiu Yi behind, but after Hua Xiu Yi has protected her thest few days and some discoveries madest night, Lan You Nian knew she couldnt be so ruthless anymore. Hua Xiu could be counted as one of her friends.
You underestimate me! I am a man. Dont say I dont know to be tender to women. Youre better off hiding behind me! Hua Xiu Yi gripped his dagger. Though he held the high ranking of crown prince, after being on the battlefield for so many years like Feng Yi Xuan and dodging assassination attempts, he had his own strength. No matter how difficult the situation was, he wont easily admit defeat.
Hmph! Lan You Nian grunted. This Hua Xiu Yi really can talk. Just look at him and he wanted her to hide behind him! Nor did she need other people to protect her. Lan You Nian always believed the only person who can protect her was herself. Shes merely added on another Feng Yi Xuan.
Before the wolf pack could attack, Lan You Nian charged with her dagger raised. Since they cant avoid it, then theyll force their way out. Lan You Nians movements were fierce and rapid. Every time she jumped over one wolf, there would be the sound of wolves roaring and the sound of something falling.
Though Hua Xiu Yis body was quite weak, there wasnt a moments hesitation in the movement of his hands. He stabbed the dagger into a wolfs eyes and the wolf fell dead by a palm strike. Because Hua Xiu Yi had powerful inner force, most of the time, his inner force saved him from being eaten from the wolf pack.
There were too many wolves. In moments, Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi were injured, but the wolves became even excited from the scent of blood as their growling became even more ferocious. The wide, bloody mouth dribbled with disgusting drool just waiting to break their necks the moment they werent careful.
Just as the two wrestled with the wolves, Hua Xiu Yi waspletely surrounded by many wolves. One of Hua Xiu Yis arms was already injured from saving Lan You Nian and couldnt be used. One wolf was about to take a bite out of Hua Xiu Yis legs. If the teeth sunk in, thered be no use for the leg.
Lan You Nian pursed her parched lips, pondering if she should save or not save? Then, she sighed. Sure enough, things such as favors shouldnt be owed. If Hua countrys Crown Prince was to die in Feng country, it will most likely cause friction between the two countries once more. Even more importantly, if Hua Xiu Yi was to die, the odds of her taking on the pack of wolves by herself became even smaller.
As the wolf was about to chomp down on Hua Xiu Yis leg, Lan You Nians entire person lifted into the air,nding beside Hua Xiu Yi and kicked Hua Xiu Yi far away to dodge the wolfs bite.
Though Lan You Nian had dsaved Hua Xiu Yi, Hua Xiu Yi could only smile wryly. His wise and exalted image! He nearly fell t on his face from Lan You Nians kick. Couldnt she have pulled him if she was to save him? Why so violent?
What Hua Xiu Yi didnt know was that Lan You Nian didnt want to save him but after considering how Hua Xiu Yi looked after her thest few days, she reluctantly offered a hand. Besides being willing to touch Feng Yi Xuan, she didnt want to touch other men. For her to kick Hua Xiu Yi from danger was already giving him face. Otherwise, Lan You Nian really could look coldly from the sidelines.
Hua Xiu Yi steadied himself and continued to ughter through the wolves. Inside, he was overjoyed. He didnt feel pain from where he was kicked. So happy! But if Hua Xiu Yi knew the reason Lan You Nian saved him, he probably wouldnt feel so happy.
In a matter of moments, Lan You Nian and Hua Xiu Yi already killed a lot of wolves, but they also undoubtedly enraged the wolves. The wolf pack became even more vicious and brutal. The wolves didnt seem to fear the twos killing intent as they started to recklessly take bites at them. Lan You Nians arms and back had w marks from the wolves. If Lan You Nians reaction wasnt quick and and keen, who knows how many times she would have died already. Hua Xiu Yi wasnt any better either. There were more signs of injuries on him than Lan You Nian. Many of the injuries on his body were from protecting Lan You Nian.
Arh-wooo! Suddenly, the wolves howled as many wolves promptly met a violent death.
Lan You Nian beamed. Turning back and sure enough, she saw Feng Yi Xuan ughtering the wolves. He smiled cruelly and tyrannically. His sharp eyes were like an eagle eyeing its prey in the night and a cold bloodthirsty light gathered in his eyes, transforming into killing intent that permeated the air around him.
Feng Yi Xuans movements were filled with killing intent. Before the wolf pack could react, he led An Yi and the others bolting through the pack of wolves, ughtering one after the other.
Because of the additional people joining in, very quickly the wolf pack were steadily losing ground, leaving very few left.
Lan You Nian fell into a warm and bloody embrace. Feng Yi Xuans eyes were thick with tenderness and affection. His gaze was gentle on Lan You Nian. Kissing her hair, his voice was upset as he asked Does it hurt? Are you afraid? Then, he picked Lan You Nians entire body up, his voice hoarse, Im sorry Imte!
Only heaven knew how enraged he was when he saw Nian Nian besieged by the pack of wolves and how his heart ached when he saw the stain of blood and wounds on Nian Nians body. He felt a the urge to destroy the heaven and earth, as if he needed to ughter everything in his path to alleviate the terror and unease in his heart. But now holding the girl in his arms, he felt everything became calm.
Lan You Nian nestled in Feng Yi Xuans arms familiarity as she wrapped her arms around Feng Yi Xuans neck, smelled the scent that made her heart at peace, and listened to the reassuring heartbeat. Her voice was warm as she answered, Im well. I knew Xuan woulde!
What words could warm Feng Yi Xuans heart as much as Lan You Nians trusting words?
En, I will definitelye! Feng Yi Xuan said, hugging Lan You Nian.
In thest few days since he entered the forest, he regretted. He feared Nian Nian will suffer somewhere he couldnt see. Even though he trusted in Nian Nians abilities when he threw her out, he was still worried in his heart. He despised himself. How could he put Nian Nian there by herself? What if she became afraid? Only when she was with him could he be at ease. If he could do it over, Feng Yi Xuan would still do the same thing. Because between life and death, the only thing youd think of is to let your loved one be safe.
Hua Xiu Yis guard AMu swiftly appeared by his masters side, promptly supporting Hua Xiu Yi. He really didnt expect his master who usually held the attitude of making everything a joke would help the enemy Feng Yi Xuan. What was even more unexpected for AMu was that master protected this Lan You Nian. One must know for a person with masters personality, if he didnt stab them in the back, it can be counted as their forefathers having umted virtues. Dont look at how there are so many women by masters side, but he treated those women very cruelly. Many women lost their life with just a word said wrong. Yet master protected this Lan You Nian. Whats going on?
Hua Xiu Yi saw the girl who was expressionless against all difficulties disyed a smile that could beat the sun when she saw Feng Yi Xuan. That unconscious trust and reliance, such a Lan You Nian was one he had never seen by his side. But he had to say such a Lan You Nian was iparably beautiful. Such a her wasnt like the cold moon but like zing sunlight, making one want to be like a moth to a me.
Lan You Nian was like the light in Hua Xiu Yis darkness. Others say moths are attracted to mes because it dislikes firelight and feared it, but what they dont know is that moths desperately pounce on it because it wants to appeal for the little bit of warmth from the gentle candlelight. Even knowing it will disintegrate, it still proceeded without hesitation.
Hua Xiu Yi had once considered stealing Lan You Nian to his side. He knew his own abilities. If he really made up his mind to do so, it was doable. But now seeing Lan You Nians smile, Hua Xiu Yi internallyughed at his naivety. How could he bear to take hold of such a her? If she didnt have such joy, he would be harming her and he really really didnt want to hurt her.
Because of the injuries on Lan You Nians body, Feng Yi Xuan headed out as he carried Lan You Nian. At this moment Feng Yi Xuans steps paused, speaking to An Yi and the others, Invite Crown Prince Hua to the residence for healing! From the moment he saw Hua Xiu Yis injuries, Feng Yi Xuan knew Hua Xiu Yi protected Nian Nian. From the moment in the secret room, he gave Hua Xiu Yi a look, he knew Hua Xiu Yi was capable of doing so. He was grateful towards Hua Xiu Yis protection of Nian Nian, but he wont concede Nian Nian to him.
How could Hua Xiu Yi not understand Feng Yi Xuans thoughts. The irresistible smile still hung on his face. Though utterly diposed as he was, it couldnt disguise his bewitching charm. He nced at Feng Yi Xuan and then nced at Lan You Nian who drifted off to sleep from exhaustion, Then Ill have to bother Ming wang! Thesest few days, he kept guard at night so Lan You Nian could rest, but Hua Xiu Yi possessed powerful martial arts so how could he not be able to tell Lan You Nian didnt actually sleep. But now because of Feng Yi Xuan, she could fall asleep with ease. Hua Xiu Yi, though envious, took a nce at his bandaged arm, sighed in his heart, Very good!
Hua Xiu Yi was beginning to understand a lot. Perhaps for some, the struggles he faced in the forest thest few days was a type of suffering but for him, it was a beautiful memory. These warm memories was enough to warm his lonely life.
Chapter 221 - Applying Medicine
Chapter 221 Applying Medicine
When Lan You Nian woke up, her entire body was already bathed and her injuries were bandaged up. Lan You Nian didnt have to guess to know it was Feng Yi Xuans doing. In the past, if she got hurt, she would have Lan Qu them handle it. But now she had Feng Yi Xuan, when he was jealous, not even women were allowed, so it must be him who bathed her and applied the ointment.
A movement from Lan You Nian woke up Feng Yi Xuan who was sleeping beside her. He pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, embracing her. Then, he got up and walked out of the room, bringing in a warm bowl of medicinal porridge from the outer chambers. From the looks of it, this bowl of medicinal porridge has been kept warm all the while.
Feng Yi Xuan held the porridge in his hands, sitting by the bed, and tried the temperature of the porridge; then, he started to feed Lan You Nian some of the medicinal porridge.
But Lan You Nian twisted her face away, unwilling to drink the porridge. Feng Yi Xuan didnt get angry but indulgently asked, Are you not feeling well? He started to lift up Lan You Nians clothes to take a look at the wounds but was rejected by Lan You Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan could only soften his voice saying, You dont like it? But you havent eaten anything for days. If you immediately eat, its bad for your stomach. Drink some medicinal porridge first to put something in your stomach alright? Later I will have them prepare something delicious. Nian Nian be good!
But Lan You Nian snatched the bowl from Feng Yi Xuan, putting it on the cab by the bed. Then, she ripped open Feng Yi Xuans clothes to see Feng Yi Xuans pale and lean body covered with various wounds. But this wasnt the reason why Lan You Nian was angry. The reason was Feng Yi Xuans injuries were carelessly applied with medicine, without even bandaging it up.
You received so many injuries. Why didnt you tell me? Lan You Nian felt those wounds were too ring. Doesnt this man feel pain? He knew to treat her injuries but didnt pay attention to his own injuries. Did he really think he was made of iron?
Seeing Nian Nian was worried and concerned about him, Feng Yi Xuan felt warm inside and didnt feel like any of his injuries hurt at all.
Nian Nian Feng Yi Xuan grapped Lan You Nians small hand and shoved it into the quilts and said, carelessly, These minor injuries dont hurt a bit. Besides, theyre already applied with medicine. You dont need to worry! Though he was pleased with Nian Nians worry for him, he still felt his heart ache for her.
Lan You Nian shot Feng Yi Xuan a vicious re, reaching out her hands and mercilessly pped the wound on Feng Yi Xuans chest.
Feng Yi Xuans face was stunned. Though he didnt disy a pained expression, Lan You Nian could still attentively notice the cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Doesnt hurt? Lan You Nian looked at her hand, threateningly saying, Are you sure? Are you sure I wont worry? Her posture was very clear. If Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer to her satisfaction, she will definitely give him another p to let him learn from his mistake. Not only would Feng Yi Xuan be concerned about her, she would be simrly worried about him. What was there to hide between the two of them?
Feng Yi Xuan awkwardly chuckled. Nian Nian was too smart, not believing in his lies. Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nian this girl, despite worrying about him, if he didnt admit to it, then his injuries didnt need to get better. He has seen this girls cruelty.
It hurts a little... Feng Yi Xuan ducked into the nkets, saying ingratiatingly. If he had to say if the wounds hurt or not, naturally it hurts. He wasnt without sense of feel. But firstly, hes received too many injuries growing up so he was indifferent to it. Secondly, all of Feng Yi Xuans energy were focused on Lan You Nian. He didnt pay attention to his injuries at all.
Hearing this, Lan You Nian got up and got some medicinal powder and white cloth for bandaging. To Feng Yi Xuan, she said Take off your clothes!
Feng Yi Xuan knew what Nian Nian wanted to do with just a look. The speed that the clothes were ripped off made Lan You Nian involuntarily blink her eyes. Shit, was this putting on medicine or doing something to you? Is there a need to be so excited? Lan You Nian noticed the more she got to know Feng Yi Xuan, in front of her, Feng Yi Xuan became more and more childish. But wasnt she was the same?
Feng Yi Xuan took off everything except a cloth covering his privates, stark naked as he sat on the bed facing Lan You Nian. He wanted to see Lan You Nians satisfaction with his body from her eyes. He still remembered every time he was nude or had Nian Nian help him relieve himself, Nian Nian would always bashfully duck under the quilt, refusing toe out. But such a bashful Nian Nian made Feng Yi Xuans wolfish nature rear its head.
But Feng Yi Xuan miscalcted. Lan You Nian waspletely focused on Feng Yi Xuans body. How could she pay attention to anything else? Feng Yi Xuans body was covered with various injuries. Lan You Nian only felt heartache, so how could she think about anything else?
Lan You Nian applied the medicine on Feng Yi Xuans chest, noticing Feng Yi Xuan was still looking at her in dissatisfaction. Lan You Nian couldnt help pinch Feng Yi Xuans muscle flesh, What are you silly about? Turn around! Feng Yi Xuan still had a lot of injuries on his back.
Feng Yi Xuan was self-aware of his foolishness to be thinking of such things at a time like this, so he turned around,ying on the bed. Lan You Nian applied the medicinal powder gingerly to those wounds. Afraid Feng Yi Xuan felt pain, Lan You Nian gently blew on the wounds after applying the medicine. In the past life when Lan You Nian was little, every time she went on a mission and came back with injuries, her father would do the exact same, blowing it after applying the medicine.
Feng Yi Xuan could feel a warm breath brushing over his skin on his back. This gentle, warm breath made Feng Yi Xuans heart warm up, but his body became increasingly hot, for he shared the same bed as the girl he loved. Not only was he naked, more importantly, Feng Yi Xuan could feel Nian Nians small hand frequently touching his body while applying the medicine. The warm breath of the lips were felt very distinctly. Feng Yi Xuan felt he was experiencing happiness and pain at the same time.
When Lan You Nian had bandaged up all of Feng Yi Xuans injuries, she realized Feng Yi Xuans face was flushed and his breathing was heavy. Lan You Nian was worried due to the injuries and couldnt help anxiously asking, Xuan, whats wrong? You cant me Lan You Nian for not noticing. Who would have thought Feng Yi Xuan would be thinking of such things at this time?
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly picked Lan You Nian up and tucked her in the quilt, muttering in displeasure, What do you think? His voice was filled with grievances. He didnt feel any desire towards any woman, but towards Nian Nian, why didnt he have any self-control? Nian Nian was still small. He still had to wait two more years!
Lan You Nian was being held in Feng Yi Xuans arms, so naturally she can feel the changes in Feng Yi Xuans body. She angrily knocked her forehead into Feng Yi Xuans forehead, At this time you can still think of that kind of stuff! You big perverted wolf!
Feng Yi Xuan stroked Lan You Nians reddening forehead, chuckling, Im only perverted towards you!
Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was telling the truth, but can he not talk about these things in front of her who was still a minor? Though she has helped Feng Yi Xuans relieve his lust, but at those times she was so bashful she didnt dare open her eyes. Were all men perverted wolves deep inside? A few yearster, Lan You Nian will know, its true men were perverted wolves and Feng Yi Xuan was the biggest perverted wolf-a perverted wolf who was only perverted towards her.
Lan You Nian didnt continue to argue, for she noticed the dark bags under Feng Yi Xuans eyes and knew he didnt rest well thesest few days. Knowing him, he probably didnt rest because he was taking care of her. Lan You Nian picked up the medicinal porridge that hasnt yet cooled, and in a rare moment of virtue, fed Feng Yi Xuan. The two of them each drank half, finishing the porridge and fell asleep, hugging one another.
Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan didnt ask the other what the other suffered or traps theyve encountered. For the two of them, it was enough to be able to return to each others sides. Feng Yi Xuan didnt even ask about Hua Xiu Yi, because he trusted Nian Nian. He knew Nian Nian and him were the same. Once they fell in love, they wont change. Feng Yi Xuan was grateful towards Hua Xiu Yi. Even if he was his love rival, because of him, his Nian Nian suffered less injuries. This couldnt be denied.
Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan rested for a day. Outside, Lan Qu and the others who were waiting were extremely anxious but knew young miss and Ming were were really so didnt bother them. They would frequentlye by, in fear Lan You Nian would need something when they woke up.
Feng Yi Xuan woke up some time ago. Seeing Lan You Nian was still deep asleep, he didnt get out of bed, continuing to sleep with Lan You Nian. After a day of sleep, Lan You Nian has recovered her spirits. The two tidied up and walked out of the room, or that is to say, Lan You Nian was carried out of the room.
Young miss Lan Wu and Lan Qu took a few steps forward. The day Ming wang brought young miss back, they didnt get to see how young miss was doing. Though afterwards Lan Ren and Lan Feng said young miss was fine, the two of them were still worried.
Lan You Nian poked out her little head and smiled at the group of people,forting, Im fine. I let you guys worry! She could imagine their worry and fear when there wasnt any news from her. These people were sincere towards her.
Its enough that young miss is fine! Lan Qu saw her young misss cheeks were rosy and was much reassure.d
Feng Yi Xuan said to Lan Qu, Prepare some soft foods. Nothing too oily! He knew Nian Nian must be hungry after resting so long.
Lan Qu hastily nodded and went to send over the already prepared foods but Lan You Nian said, Send Crown Prince Hua a portion as well!
Lan Qu and the others were surprised by their young misss action, but seeing as Ming wang didnt seem to be displeased, they went down to carry it out. Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian to the grand hall, saying, Hua Xiu Yis poison is already cured. He should wake up today!
Lan You Nian nodded and smiled, Dont need me to exin?
Feng Yi Xuan smiled at her dotingly, I understand! He understood that in this matter they owed Hua Xiu Yi. He especially understood Nian Nians feelings for him, so there wasnt anything to worry about.
When the two sat down in the hall, Lan Feng appeared by Lan You Nians side, Young miss, that forest waspletely burned to the ground. Qian family is currently looking for the culprits. The entire Jiangnan is in a sense of unease.
Lan You Nian nodded and Lan Feng withdrew. She didnt want to bear Ming wangs res.
Was it you? Lan You Nian askedzily. Other people didnt have the motive to burn down an entire forest. The only one who would do such a thing could only be Feng Yi Xuan. This man was really cute!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt deny it, nodding his head and his eyes permeated with killing intent, You were injured there! Even if it was unrted to the forest, but that forest that has been thriving for unknown number of years became the ce where he vented his anger. That nights zing fire shook the entire Jiangnan.
Lan You Nian didnt object as she pecked Feng Yi Xuans jaw. She wasnt a kind person. If the forest is burnt, its burnt-as long as Feng Yi Xuan vented his anger.
Just as Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian prepared to eat, Hua Xiu Yi appeared in the hall, smirking, No matter what, a visitor is a guest. You guys are really ungracious! Saying so, he sat on the opposite side of Feng Yi Xuan them and picked up a bowl to eat from.
Yours was sent over! Feng Yi Xuan snapped.
Hua Xiu Yi was too hungry to even lift his head, The more people, the more lively it is. Ming wang isnt so petty right? With this, he shot a nce at Lan You Nian. Noticing Lan You Nians appeared more energized, Hua Xiu Yi was reassured.
The three silently ate their meal. They were really hungry, but no matter how hungry they were, their postures were still elegant.
Hua Xiu Yi wiped his hands ,This crown prince has been away from my own country for a long time. Its time to return. Farewell! Since he cant possess it, then he should leave; otherwise, he was the one in pain from watching the twos interactions.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, saying, Thanks! Feng Yi Xuan read the constion in Hua Xiu Yis eyes. In the past, Hua Xiu Yi looked at Nian Nian with possessiveness, but now, though there was the addition of love, it was filled with apathy.
Hua Xiu Yi smiled and nodded at Lan You Nian, Since this crown prince has given out so much, we should be considered friends right?
Lan You Nian returned his smile, gently nodding her head.
Hua Xiu Yi saw Lan You Nians nod, rxed as he walked out of the hall to prepare to return back to his homnd. This was enough...
Chapter 222 - Feng Yi Xuan Abusing Power for Private Interest
Chapter 222 Feng Yi Xuan Abusing Power for Private Interest
Lan You Nian wanted to return to the capital with Feng Yi Xuan earlier because Feng Xia Qi them already sent a letter saying he and Yue Bai Lians wedding was in the next few days. Lan You Nian thought if they hurried on the road and go back early, theyd be able to attend their wedding. Its a pity that Lan You Nians monthly poison rpsed came upon them.
Feng Yi Xuan was unwilling to bear Lan You Nian hurrying on the road while shes weak and being tormented by poison. Thus, he wrote a letter to Feng Xia Qi to tell him the reason. Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian expressed they understood. After all, the health of Lan You Nians body was most important. Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian didnt want to see Lan You Nian during their wedding ceremony, because it will only make them feel sorrow, because the girl they loved wasnt theirs.
After Lan You Nian protested several times and was kissed breathless by Feng Yi Xuan, she could only obediently stay and rest in Jiangnans courtyard. Lan You Nian didnt feel any pain from this poison rpse but her entire body was extremely frail. Her internal energy has nearly almost dispersed. She felt weak doing anything. But inparison to before, she was much happier.
These days shes suffering from poison, she relished in Feng Yi Xuans constant concern. If she was to go anywhere, she was carried there. If she wanted to eat, she was fed. If she wanted something, she only had to reach out her hand. Lan You Nian didnt know whether tough or cry. Feng Yi Xuanpletely regarded her as a newly born babe as he took care of her. More importantly, Feng Yi Xuan enjoyed such a life, eager to take care of Lan You Nian everyday, not feeling annoyed at all.
After a day of poison rpse and two days rest, Lan You Nian finally ran out of the courtyard while Feng Yi Xuan was handling his duties.
Hu, finally escaped! Lan You Nian wore a veil as she stood on the streets of Jiangnan, sighing out loud. Thest few days she was forced to shack up in the courtyard by Feng Yi Xuan. Though she wasnt bothered, Lan You Nian didnt like this weak feeling. Now she was feeling much better, Lan You Nian naturally wanted to walk around in Jiangnan.
Lan Qu and Lan Wu followed behind Lan You Nian giggling, Young miss dont be like this. If Ming wang was to know, how much would his heart ache?
Yeah, even we cantpare to Ming wangs care for young miss thesest few days. He practically holds you in the palm of his hand! Lan Wu said. Even though they were young misss maidservant, their care for young miss wasnt so meticulous.
Lan You Nian stopped her footsteps and looked at the two of them, What? Do you want to tattletale on me to Xuan? Want to betray me?
Lan Wu and Lan Qu shared a look and snickered. Lan Qu said, We dont dare. We are happy for young miss. Seeing Ming wang treating young miss so well, we are happy as well. In the past, Lan Wu and I were quite worried concerning Ming wang.
Lan You Nian smiled wordlessly. She knew Feng Yi Xuans customary cold face and brutal reputation was quite rming. Lan You Nian wasnt dissatisfied with Feng Yi Xuans reputation, for such a reputation made many women shrink back at the sight of him. Lan You Nian didnt want there to be a lot of women wanting to enter Ming wang manor. Though Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt do so, no one wants to bring vexation to themselves, right?
In a few days, well be returning to the capital. If theres something you like, buy it! Lan You Nian said scanning the merchant shops on the sides of the streets. Many little knickknacks made in Jiangnan were very beautiful. Lan You Nian was going to buy some to give out as gifts to friends in the capital.
Hearing this, Lan Qu and Lan Wu were overjoyed. The saying that women all liked going shopping was not said incorrectly. Though Lan Wu and Lan Qu were maidservants, they werent any different from youngdies of prominent families. Hence, they followed their young miss in shopping. When they saw something they liked, they would buy it.
Lan Qu, why are you buying these for? Lan You Nian asked curiously when she saw Lan Qu buy satin cloths and such things. Lan You Nian has never seen Lan Qu taking these things.
Lan Qu put the things in the carriage that followed them, slightly embarrassed as she muttered, Lan Rens shoes are a little worn. Im going to make him a new pair! Though she and Lan Ren couldnt have children, their feelings were sincere towards each other. As such, Lan Qu felt very happy.
Cant they be bought? It would be so bothersome making it yourself! Lan Wu picked up those satin fabrics, saying. She and Lan Qu only ever made things for young miss, since many things young miss needed were in a ss by itself and cant be bought.
Lan Qu smiled, continuing to buy some other things, Though the ones that are sold are pretty good, I am now Lan Rens wife. Of course I should make some clothes and shoes and such things for him. This is a wifes responsibility. When youre married, youll understand!
Lan Wu wanted to refute, but remembering she hasnt married, she wasnt in the position to say anything.
So its like this? Then do you think I should make some clothes and shoes for Xuan? Lan You Nian considered it. Feng Yi Xuan did so much for her, even making the monthly pads that the men in the world avoided like the gue. Shouldnt she do something for Feng Yi Xuan?
Dont! Lan Wu and Lan Qu hastily stopped her, Ming wang cherishes you so much. If you do these things, Ming wang will be distressed. Besides, these needlework hurts the eyes. If young miss wants to make clothes or such for Ming wang, young miss can draw it and well make it!
It wasnt that Lan Qu and Lan Wu were to excited but that, though young miss was skilled in both martial and schrly pursuits, as a woman, her needlework was really unbearable to look at. Lan Qu and Lan Wu both have seen it once and didnt wish to see it a second time, fearing it will be a blow to young misss self-confidence.
How could Lan You Nian not know of Lan Wu and Lan Qus thoughts? On a whim, she wanted to embroider a handkerchief, but in the end, besides being able to embroider spider lilies that were lifelike, other things she embroidered looked as if theyve been gnawed on by dogs. When Lan Wu and Lan Qu saw the things she embroidered, theyughed out madly.
Alright, I was only saying it! Lan You Nian helplessly spread her hands. Inside, she still wished to embroider something for Feng Yi Xuan. As a man, Feng Yi Xuan was able to personally carve a hairpin for her; she should make a personal item for Feng Yi Xuan as any ordinary woman would.
The three of them entered a jade shop. Lan You Nian strolled around and took a fancy to a transparent green bracelet, feeling it wouldnt be bad to give it to Hua Mu Qing. Just as she was about to have the shop owner package it up, a voice snapped, Shop owner, wrap that bracelet up for this young miss!
Lan You Nian lifted her head and looked over. She saw Qian Jing Han standing at the doors of the shop, pointing at the bracelet in her hands as she spoke, her attitude overbearing and didnt allow for refusal. Lan You Nian nced at the bracelet in her hand that wasnt particrly good. She only thought to buy it on a whim, so she nonchntly put it down, not wanting to fight over it, for in a few days they were going to return to the capital.
But Lan You Nians nonchnce didnt make Qian Jing Han restrain her arrogance but became even more haunghty. Qian Jing Han pointed at Lan You Nian demanding, What have you done to Young Master An? Give Young Master An back to me!
Ever since that day she drank tea with Jing Wu An, Qian Jing Han hasnt seen Jing Wu An since. Even if she wanted to search for him, she wasnt able to find his whereabouts. She didnt know Young Master Ans real name, didnt know where he loved, even didnt know where he was from. Qian Jing Han felt angry inside. When she saw Lan You Nian, Qian Jing Han knew shed be able to find Young Master An, for Young Master An was following this woman that day. Could it be that this woman forbid Young Master An from finding her?
Lan You Nians eyes narrowed. Picking up the jade bracelet, she used internal force to throw it at Qian Jing Hans index finger pointing at her. In an instant, Qian Jing Hans index finger was smashed to the point it drooped over. Lan You Nian was certain Qian Jing Hans finger was now useless because the bones in the index finger were shattered by her internal force.
Ah! Qian Jing Han gaped at her unbearably painful and drooping index finger, hurling insults, You slut! I will have my father kill you!
Lan You Nian picked up another jade ruyi put out by the shop owner and threw it at Qian Jing Han, using her internal strength. Qian Jing Han wanted to dodge but wasnt able to. She could only watch helplessly as the jade ruyi smashed into the side of her face. Qian Jing Han screamed out in pain. The side of her face that was smashed rapidly swelled and her teeth were bloody as she spit out blood. Qian Jing Han couldnt even able to speak. She could only use her eyes to re at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian didnt look at Qian Jing Hans veiled poisonous eyes. This woman must be taken care of, but it couldnt be done publicly. She definitely wont keep an enemy, because a womans hatred was sometimes even more terrifying than a mans.
Lan Wu, pay for all losses of the shop owner! Lan You Nian said, leaving the jade shop.
Because theyve pretty much bought all the things they needed, the three of them got back into their carriage to return to their residence. Lan You Nian instructed Lan Qu to put those things away to give it to everyone when theyve returned to the capital. Though those things werent worth a lot of money, they were all Jiangnans characteristic knicknacks, as well as her sentiments. She finally has a home.
When Lan You Nian walked into the room, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan was still looking through the booklets. When hew saw Lan You Nian hade back, he cracked a smile, very naturally as he pulled Lan You Nian onto hisp and continued to look through the booklets, but clearly he was in a much better mood.
Did you have fun shopping? Feng Yi Xuan held a brush as he read the booklet. He knew he has been too strict with Nian Nian thest few days, but he was really concerned with Nian Nians body.
Lan You Nian recalled all the novel objects she bought that day and felt quite happy, so she nodded, but remembering Qian Jing Han, her face wasnt so pleased, as she pouted and tattletaled to Feng Yi Xuan, Xuan, someone bullied me!
If the people on the streets were to know Lan You Nian say this, they would definitely vomit blood. Did you see the bully be beat up into a pig?
Hearing this, Feng Yi Xuan dropped the booklet in his hand, his face ice-cold as he demanded, Who?
Lan You Nian felt pleased inside, hearing Feng Yi Xuans words. This man always spoiled her. Without concealing anything, Lan You Nian spilled the incident with Qian Jing Han to Feng Yi Xuan, and told Feng Yi Xuan she was going to get rid of Qian Jing Han.
Hearing this, Feng Yi Xuan was enraged. A mere daughter of Jiangnans wealthiest man dared to treat his precious Nian Nian like this! Feng Yi Xuan it was about time to sort out the entire Qian family; otherwise, they will really think they are the rulers of Jiangnan.
Nian Nian, hand this matter to me! Feng Yi Xuan pecked Lan You Nians forehead.
Youre going to make your move on Qian family? Lan You Nian asked without surprise. Feng Yi Xuans temper, most of the time, were to the extreme. He never left a hidden danger for himself. Most of the time, the basis of striking first gains the advantage is correct.
Hn. Feng Yi Xuan never hid any of his matters from Lan You Nian, even if many things were political affairs of the imperial court, Jiangnan is held in the palm of Qian family. The taxes submitted to court is falsely reported every year. If this continues, Qian family will really be the rulers of these parts. More importantly, since Qian family has offended you, they must pay the price!
As for Qian familys situation, Feng Yi Xuan has been aware of it for a while. Hes simply never taken it seriously. Qian family just happened to run into the line of fire. Naturally, Feng Yi Xuan will settle things. He was merely using the imperial court as a hat to vent for Lan You Nian.
Youre going to use the courts power? Lan You Nian grinned. She thought Feng Yi Xuan would use his own forces.
Hn, finding some stuff for imperial brother to do! Feng Yi Xuan said indifferently. If Feng Xia Qi was to know, he would vomit blood from anger.
Tsk tsk, you, as Feng empires war god wangye, you really like to abuse your power for personal interest! Lan You Nian picked up Feng Yi Xuans booklet from the table, bored as she flipped through it. Lan You Nian was certain, if it wasnt because Qian family made her unhappy, Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt bother with managing Jiangnans matters. Most of the time, this man was apathetic as if all the things on this earth were nothing in his eyes, only putting her in his heart.
Wu... Feng Yi Xuan allowed Lan You Nian to look at these confidential booklets and said, For Nian Nian...
After discussing it with Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian sent Lan Feng to silently kill off Qian Jing Han. It wasnt that Lan You Nian couldnt wait but this Qian Jing Han didnt simply offend her, more important, this Qian Jing Han knew of Jing Wu An. She couldnt allow Jing Wu Ans life to be filled with an unknown danger.
Two dayster, as Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian were about to leave Jiangnan, Jiangnans Qian family, because of charges of bribery and controlling the officials, was exposed. Over the years, Qian family has done manywless things, making the entire Jiangnansmon people only dare to rage but not to utter it, so when the court was ordered to capture Qian family, the richest family of Jiangnan for an unknown number of years, Qian family, became prisoners in the course of a night, lost the entire Qian family.
Chapter 223 - The Unusual Consort Tao
223 The Unusual Consort Tao
After a few days, when Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian returned to the capital, its been two months since they departed from the capital. Spring in the capital has arrived. The weather has be warmer. Spring breeze sends warmth, melting the grim winter. Peach red and willow green decorated the entire world. On the streets, groups of young men and women walked together. The rxedughter fell upon all corners of the capital. The spring breeze brings the news of spring. Those young girls who loved beauty wore gauze dresses as light as cicada wings. As the saying goes, as long as there is grace, there is no need for thefort of temperature, even if they dont have internal energy. A heart that loves beauty was enough to withstand all severe cold.
After the carriage entered the capital, Lan You Nian said to An Yi who was driving the carriage, Go to fourth prince manor! Then she asked Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li, Does Brother Wu An and Brother Liu Li want to return home or go with us?
Jing Wu An urged his steed over to the carriage, Father sent a letter to have me and Liu Li go back home, so we wont be going!
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian nodded. Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li hurried in the direction of Jing manor while they headed in the direction of fourth prince manor.
Why are we going to Imperial brothers ce? Originally he nned to steal Nian Nian to his Prince Ming manor for some time. In any case, everyone knows theyre back. But if they went to fourth prince manor, Nian Nian would have to return to Lan manor. Though he could go over every night, but this feeling of sneaking around wasnt very nice.
If Lan You Nian knew of Feng Yi Xuans thoughts, she would definitely say disdainfully, can your actions be considered sneaking? In You Nian Pavilion who doesnt know Prince Ming will report on time every night. Its practically more urate than his timing for morning court.
Brother Xia Qi and Bai Lian have married. As the younger brother, as a friend, we havent attended. I feel bad about it so I picked some gifts from Wu Qing Pavilion to give to them. Marriage is an important matter yet we havent even attended! Lan You Nian exined.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded. As for this imperial brother, despite however indfifferent Feng Yi Xuan was on the surface, he was still had affection in his heart. When they were little, because of his eyes, many people spurned him and feared him, but imperial brother still considered him as his younger brother and took care of him, giving him brotherly love. This was why Feng Yi Xuan was willing to campaign on the battlefield for many years.
When the carriage arrived at fourth prince manor, Lan You Nian was about to step out of the carriage but was stopped by Feng Yi Xuan. When the steward outside saw An Yi driving the carriage, he ceremoniously gave his greetings to the carriage, Prince Ming!
Feng Yi Xuan hned. The steward weed the carriage into fourth prince manor, fearful he would slight this Prince Ming of unpredictable temperament.
When Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian received the report of their subordinates that the two came to the manor, Feng Yi Xuan already brought Lan You Nian to the grand hall, sitting there as if he was the master, being served with good food and tea.
AXuan, little sister Nianer, youre finally back! Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian came into the grand hall together. Seeing Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian, it was clear they were delighted as the smiles on their faces couldnt be hidden.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian, without rising, only nodding his head. It was a good thing Feng Xia Qi them were already used to Feng Yi Xuans temperament and didnt mind.
Lan You Nian shot a nce at Yue Bai Lian who has been married for several days. Yue Bai Lian wore a pink pce gown as she stood beside Feng Xia Qi, the perfect image of a virtuous wife. The packets opened to pink shoulders, the corbone loomed under the coral chain, standing slim and straight. Though there wasnt any extreme brilliance, its hard to hide the quality of jasper jade. Her jade wrist circled a hollow gold bracelet, making the green onion fingers even more soft, yet there was an air of broken sorrow circting around her. But Lan You Nian could tell Yue Bai Lian was much happier than before.
My apologies, we werent able to make it in time for your wedding day! Lan You Nian had An Yi take out the prepared gifts, saying apologetically.
Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian sat there on the master seats, making others feel they really looked like husband and wife. The two smiled and shook their head, showing they didnt mind. After opening the gift, they looked at Lan You Nian in shock. Yue Bai Lian was ill at ease as she said, This, this is too precious!
The wedding gift Lan You Nian gave the two was a pair of auspicious dragon and phoenix jade pendants. The texture and quality of the jade would be rare to see even in the pce. Lan You Nian obtained it inadvertently and now felt it was perfect to give it to them.
What precious or not? Things are meant to be given to others. As long as you two like it! Lan You Nian smiled. Then remembering something joyous, she said to Yue Bai Lian, I bought some tasty foods at Jiangnan. Later Ill have Lan Qu bring them over. You definitely havent tasted them before!
Really? I heard Jiangnan was very beautiful? Is it true? Yue Bai Lian asked enviously.
The two women started to chatter about those eats, things they use, and those they y,pletely ignoring the two men who wore indulgent expressions. After the two finished chattering, they saw Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan watching they talk without saying a word. Yue Bai Lian bashfully quieted while Lan You Nian stuck out her tongue as she obediently sat on Feng Yi Xuansp, without the image of an aristocraticdy of the boudoir.
His Majesty should be about to install a Crown Prince right? Lan You Nian asked, unconcerned. Amongst the princes of the imperial family, Feng Shao Chu definitely has no more chance. Feng Yi Xuan had no interest in the throne. They were only left with Feng Xia Qi.
Feng Xia Qi shook his head, We cant be sure for the moment. The officials in court has submitted memorials to Imperial Father to install a Crown Prince but Imperial Father hasnt shown any intentions towards this. Imperial Fathers attitude was very strange! Feng Xia Qi didnt conceal anything in front of his own people. Even if he didnt want that position, he will sit on it. Imperial Father once thought so, but now once theyve gotten rid of the Empresss Faction, Imperial Father showed no action. Feng Xia Qi felt curious about this.
Feng Yi Xuan stroked Lan You Nians ck and shiny long hair, his voice cold as he said, Has something strange happened in the imperial pce?
Feng Xia Qi considered it. Recently there hasnt been anything happening in the imperial pce. Everything gave off the feeling of calm. But Yue Bai Lian thought on it and said, Recently Imperial Father conferred a Consort, called Consort Tao. I heard the people of the pce secretly gossip that Imperial Father greatly favored this newly promoted consort!
Yue Bai Lian has married Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi was concerned about matters of court but Yue Bai Lian paid attention to the matters of the imperial harem. Though there wasnt love between the two, there wasnt anycking in friendship. The two had a great partnership. Yue Bai Lian already considered this her home while Feng Xia Qi considered Yue Bai Lian as the woman who will apany him for the rest of his life.
Once Yue Bai Lian mentioned this, Feng Xia Qi also remembered and frowned as he said, This matter is indeed unusual. All these years, Imperial Father hasnt done a candidate selection much less confer a consort. This one is too unexpected! Ever since the former Empress passed away, Emperor Feng Xuan kept his distance from women. Those consorts were still the original ones. Additionally, as Imperial Father aged, there hasnt been a woman added to the harem.
Have you found who this person is? Feng Yi Xuans face was ugly as he said this. He already held hatred towards Emperor Feng Xuan and now Emperor Feng Xuans attitude made Feng Yi Xuan loathe him even more. He will never forget his Imperial Mothers death.
Speaking of this matter, Yue Bai Lian also felt strange. She pondered as she said, Speaking of which, its quite strange. We have never seen this Consort Tao, nor has anyone in the pce seen this Consort Tao, but I heard this Consort Tao is very beautiful!
Lan You Nian put down the pastry in her hand, saying worriedly, It looks like theres something off with this Consort Tao. We should go take a look!
I once went to pay my respects to this Consort Tao but unfortunately I was refused without an audience. Yue Bai Lian said. Since she was now Feng Xia Qis wife, once she noticed this matter, she went to inquire into it but wasnt allowed an audience. This Consort Tao was protected very well.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed upon hearing this. Pondering, he said, I heard it will be Lan manors Old madames birthday in a few days? He was asking Lan You Nian. Feng Yi Xuan paid attention to everything concerning Lan manor and Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian nodded and smiled, I understand! Everyone in the hall was wary and vignt against this Consort Tao who hasnt revealed her face. For a woman to evade their investigation and obtain the Emperors affection, she certainly wasnt a simple woman. Its unknown why this woman hase here.
Today was General Lan manors Old Madames birthday. Lan manor was usually was very low-key. No one knew why this birthday was made such a fanfare of. They heard even the Emperor was invited by General Lan. In this world, who would go invite the Emperor?
Actually, General Lan didnt want to. Originally, he wanted to celebrate Old Madames birthday by eating a meal as a family, so how could he go invite the Emperor? But he couldnt withstand against his precious daughter who let him go invite. When General Lan heard Lan You Nian wanted to do this, he went into the pce to invite the Emperor without rejecting. And Emperor Feng Xuan agreed.
The strangest was the Old Madame. Because she enraged Lan You Nianst night, she was imprisoned in the backyard. Every day, she was so fearful she didnt dare make trouble. Her son no longer came to see her. Though her food and drink wasnt shortened, the master of Lan manors backyard was now that junzhu. But this junzhu wasnt at all respectful towards her. Old Madame thought shell go on like this until the end of her life but she didnt expect her birthday to be so grand.
Those officials who Lan Jian Jun had a good rtionship with at court have already arrived at Lan manor. Those young masters and youngdies of the younger generation seemed to have all arrived. Higher up in the banquet hall, around a table sat several noble men and women of the upper circles.
Has the Old Madame been settled down recently? Lan You Nian asked.
En, There hasnt been any problems but from the looks of Old Madame today, she likely wont be so peaceful! Hua Mu Qing said, not feeling afraid at all.
Say, will His Majesty bring that Consort Tao here? Yu Liu Li asked curiously. This was a birthday of the family of an official. A consort was unlikely to attend.
Feng Xia Qi took a sip of the tea, answering, He will definitely bring that woman! Because he and AXuan deliberately caused a ruckus in the pce to harm Consort Tao. Imperial Father must know about it. Imperial Father wont be reassured about leaving that woman in the pce alone so the best way was to bring her along.
Not long after, a sharp voice sounded, Announcing his Majesty! Everyone ceremoniosly performed a greeting. Lan You Nian looked at Consort Tao beside the Emperor.
Consort Tao wore an auspicious cloud patterned brocade jacket. Underneath was a pleated flowery skirt. A pair of gold jeweled half-winged butterfly hairpins were inserted in her hair. a pair of monolid phoenix eyes contained a smile. Skin like fat, face fair, smiling without words, a smart calction between the eyebrows. With one nce, one would know this was a shrewd person but this wasnt what caught Lan You Nians attention but rather, though clearly Lan You Nian has never seen this woman, she kept feeling an inexplicable familiarity.
Rise! Emperor Feng Xuan said.
Feng Yi Xuan who was standing beside Lan You Nian frowned. Beause Feng Yi Xuan was holding her hand, Feng Yi Xuans grip tighted which made Lan You Nian feel pain. Lan You Nian turned her head to see Feng Yi Xuans eyes brimming with a frightful rage. This rage was directed at Emperor Feng Xuan and Consort Tao.
Lan You Nians eyes turned towards Feng Xia Qi. Sure enough, Feng Xia Qis face wasnt looking any better. The gentle smile he always wore on his face was reced by the a livid expression. Beside him, Yue Bai Lian looked worriedly at Feng Xia Qi.
Xuan? Lan You Nian softly murmured. Feng Yi Xuans enraged expression instantly became indifferent. Looking at the little hand held in his was already starting to bruise, his heart ached. He didnt expect to cause Nian Nians hand to turn into this.
Feng Yi Xuan immediately stroked Lan You Nians bruising little hand, his voice filled with self-me, Does it hurt? I...
Im fine! Lan You Nian broke off Feng Yi Xuans apology. She can tell Feng Yi Xuan was in a bad mood. Theyve known each other for so long. Besides towards anything concerning her, Lan You Nian has never seen Feng Yi Xuan so enraged.
Imperial Father, who is this youngdy? Yue Bai Lian asked, regarding Feng Xia Qis expression. She deliberately said this to let Feng Xia Qi retract his expression. This wasnt in their manor. They couldnt show any weakness in front of this woman of unknown origins.
Feng Xia Qi recovered his gentle appearance as Yue Bai Lian was asking her question. He nced at Feng Yi Xuan. Both their gazes disyed a merciless rage but both person were elusive so besides Lan You Nian and Yue Bai Lian, no one noticed the strangeness of the two.
Emperor Feng Xuan looked at the woman, eyes gentle, This is this emperors beloved consort Consort Tao!
With these words, everyone performed a greeting, Respects to Consort Tao! They all understood this Consort Taos position in the emperors heart. For many years, the Emperor hasnt favored any consorts. This woman looked like another person. Based on these looks, she was able to obtain the Emperors love.
Consort Tao smiled charmingly and wrapped her arm around Emperor Feng Xuans arm saying coquettishly, It looks like this is Lan manors eldest young miss. You sure are unparalleled in beauty. Im afraid there is no woman in this world who canpare!
Though Consort Taos words were not wrong, this provoked many womens jealous hearts at the banquet. Who would like a girl who looked prettier than them? And this was a girl who had the background and the looks. If it wasnt because of Lan You Nians identity, who knew how many youngdies who look for trouble with her?
Many thanks for the consorts praise. This humble girl thinks consort is extraordinarily beautiful, like... Lan You Nian seemed to not be able to find the word to describe her, her voice carrying the sincerity of a praise but Feng Yi Xuan took over for her, Like a woman from the redlight district!
With Feng Yi Xuans words, everyone quieted. No one expected Prince Ming topare the Emperors consort to a postitute and even dared to say it out loud. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound, afraid something horrifying would happen.
AXuan, imperial thought you usually were bad with words but thisparison is really fitting! Feng Xia Qiughed, his gaze filled with murderous intent looking at Consort Tao, instantly letting those officials who wanted to fawn over Consort Tao to know the strife between Consort Tao and the two princes.
You, Consort Taos eyes filled with tears as she looked at Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan as she wept to the Emperor, this concubine knows she has no right to be a consort but this concubine only wishes to serve by His Majestys side. No matter howcking this concubine is, the two princes shouldnt shame this concubine!
Emperor Feng Xuans heart ached as he held Consort Tao, his gaze towards his two sons were filled with a slight displeasure. Feng Yi Xuan had no feelings towards the Emperors gaze. Whether the Emperor was displeased or hated him, he didnt care, but Feng Xia Qi was different. Feng Xia Qi had expectations for this Imperial Father, so Emperor Feng Xuans gaze made Feng Xia Qis eyes hurt. Closing his eyes, once his eyes reopened, they have already recovered, but thest of the feelings between father and son was broken by Emperor Feng Xuans very own hands.
Eh, old four and old sixth usually speak without thinking. Beloved consort shouldnt mind them! Emperor Feng Xuan pat Consort Taos hand, saying tenderly. Then he said to Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan, You two arent little anymore. Old four already has an official consort and old six is already engaged. There are some things you shouldnt say!
Feng Yi Xuan remained silent. Imperial brother was much better at battling with words, not that he didnt know how, but that he didnt have any good feelings for the Emperor nor did he want to fight over anything. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, he hasnt had an Imperial Father in a long time. He only had his Consort Mother who has passed.
Imperial Father has misunderstood subject son. Subject son is merely stating the truth! Feng Xia Qi pulled on Yue Bai Lians hand, Its fine if a small consort follows Imperial Father out of the pce but to act so improperly with the empires emperor out in public, if this isnt a brothel womans style, what is it?
Hearing this, everyone looked towards Consort Tao. Sure enough, they saw Consort Tao stickily hugging the Emperors arm. This posture, if this was in a normal officials family, it was allowable, but as an empires Emperor, this was inappropriate. As His Majestys consort, she should lead by example. Maybe she act like this in the pce but now shes in an officials home, to do this in front of the martial and schrly officials, isnt this a brothel womans style?
Consort Tao knew her attitude made many of the officials dissatisfied, as she hastily dropped the arm wrapped around the Emperor and knelt, It is this concubine in the wrong. This concubine considers His Majesty this concubines sky, this concubines husband, but has forgotten His Majesty is Feng empires Emperor. This concubine has overstepped. Please ask His Majesty for punishment!
Consort Taos words were measured just perfectly and put herself in the position of a woman. Lan You Nians lips curled. This Consort Tao was indeed not a good one. Looking at the Emperors even more sympathetic expression, one would know this Consort Taos words have worked.
At this time, Jing manors marquis Jing Leng stood up, looking at Consort Tao, A small consort can say the Emperor is her husband? The only one who can say so is the Empress. Does this Consort Tao wish to be the Empress?
Jing Lengs words confused many because most of the time Jing Leng didnt say much concerning these matters, but Lan You Nian nced at Consort Taos face and then remembered the others sudden rage and had a suspicion in her heart and felt even more heartache for Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan You Nians hand in Feng Yi Xuans big hands shifted slightly as her eyes looked towards him. At a nce, they were filled with heartache and worry. Feng Yi Xuans heart warmed. His bad mood instantly became better.
Im fine! Feng Yi Xuanfortingly smiled. He was only enraged the moment he saw Consort Tao but it was only for a moment. He now had Nian Nian. He was already very happy.
Marquis Jing! Emperor Feng Xuan lowly reprimanded, dissatisfied with Jing Lengs usation. Additionally with Consort Taos greivious and dependent gaze, it made Emperor Feng Xuan feel more pity for Consort Tao. He wasnt unaware why everyone had such hostility towards Consort Tao, but remembering Consort Tao was only a young woman of twenty, she didnt know anything yet she had to endure all this, this was unfair for Consort Tao.
Whats wrong, Imperial Father? Feng Xia Qi stood up, the smile unchanged. Uncles words arent wrong at all. Since she is Imperial Fathers consort, Imperial should have a mama teach her. This is Feng empire. If she was in front of the delegates of other empires, shell lose the face of our Feng Empire!
Emperor Feng Xuan looked at his son, knowing his son wasnt feeling so well in his heart either and suppressed the rage inside. To the General Lan who didnt say a word he said, Eunuch Lu, put down Lan manors Old Madames gift. This emperor still has affairs to handle in the pce and will be returning!
Under everyones respectful departing words, he headed out of Lan manor but before leaving, he said to Feng Yi Xuan, Old six,e tonight to the pce!
Once the Emperor left, everyone rxed and the previous atmosphere disappeared. The several princes and others recovered their usual appearance. Some older officials already understood what has happened but some younger officials were still confused.
As for the Old Madame, she angrily looked at Lan You Nian and the others. In Old Madames eyes, for the Emperor and the consort toe to her birthday banquet, it was the greatest honor, but it was ruined by the princes this granddaughter of hers was good friends with, making it so that she the host was forgotten. Old Madame remembered her mouth that would hurt every day and grinded her teeth with hate at Lan You Nian. If she wasnt afraid, she would have thought of a way to kill this granddaughter. She really was an unlucky star!
The atmosphere of Lan You Nians table as a little quiet. No one knew what to say. A birthday banquet ended with such unrity...
Chapter 224 - The Emperor’s Intentions
224 The Emperors Intentions
Night descended slowly. The bustling Lan manor in the day quieted. Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian washed up andid on therge carved flower bed without saying a word. They silentlyid there looking at one another, luxuriating in this feeling.
Xuan? Lan You Nian stroked Feng Yi Xuans handsome face, asking, Youre not entering the Imperial Pce? Before leaving, Emperor Feng Xuan had said this. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan couldnt be ordered around by others, but Lan You Nian still had to ask. No matter the result, Lan You Nian will always apany by his side.
Feng Yi Xuan tightened his hold around Lan You Nian, Dont want to go. Want to hold you!
Its rare for Feng Yi Xuan to act spoiled and childish. Lan You Nian felt only in front of her will Feng Yi Xuan let everything gopletely, just like how she was with Feng Yi Xuan. Only when theyre by each others side would they be different than with others.
Ill go with you? Lan You Nian giggled. She didnt know about the matter between Feng Yi Xuan and His Majesty Feng Xuan but it wasnt difficult to take a rough guess. Since His Majesty wanted Feng Yi Xuan to go, Lan You Nian hoped Feng Yi Xuan will go, to give up for good. Lan You Nian needed Feng Yi Xuan to see through things.
Feng Yi Xuan chuckled. He knew Nian Nian was worried about him, worried that hes upset because of what happened that day, but Nian Nian didnt know, as long as Nian Nian was by his side, he wasnt afraid of anything, nor would he be in a bad mood, because his heart was beating.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. He wanted to listen to what his so called Imperial Father wanted to say. He wanted to see what the so called Imperial Father wanted to use what face to look at him, to see what this so called Imperial Farther will give what kind of exnation.
Feng Yi xuan picked up Lan You Nians clothes, tenderly helping her dress. Lan You Nian obediently sat there watching as Feng Yi Xuan went from busily putting on her clothes to the current proficiency. Lan You Nian sighed with feeling, Xuan, you have made me ustomed to being a child!
Wasnt it a child? Helping her dress and do her hair, even, most of the time, hed help her put on her shoes. Not even Lan Wu and Lan Qu would serve her to this extent. Lan You Nian really feared that one day she wouldnt even know how to wear clothes, even requiring someone to feed her when eating.
I like spoiling you like this! Besides, arent you still a child? Feng Yi Xuan squat down, helping Lan You Nian put on a pair of tiny furball embroidered slippers that looked lovable and delicate, making Feng Yi Xuan feel that whichever part of Nian Nian all endeared her to him.
Thats what you said! Lan You Nian was like a ko bear as she hung on Feng Yi Xuans neck. Feng Yi Xuan very naturally held Lan You Nian in his arms. His posture was like holding a child, becausepared to his tallness, Lan You Nian was much more delicate.
When weve be old man and old woman, you still must spoil me like this! Lan You Nian said coquettishly, gazing into Feng Yi Xuans eyes.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuans expression was soft, Not only when were old, even in the next life, I will find you and pamper you much earlier! Feng Yi Xuans greatest regret was that he wasnt able to protect Nian Nian when she was small which allowed her to suffer so much bitterness. Therefore, in the next life, he muste to Nian Nians side as early as possible and pamper her from the very start, continuously...
You said it ! Lan You Nian sat in the carriage with Feng Yi Xuan hurrying to the Imperial pce.
I said it! Feng Yi Xuan smiled in reply.
When Feng Yi Xuan was about to pull Lan You Nian into the Imperial Study, Lan You Nian nced at Feng Yi Xuan, giving Feng Yi Xuan aforting look. The two smiled and entered the imperial study. Eunuch Lu saw them and was about to announce them but was stopped by Lan You Nian.
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian walked into the imperial study, they saw a most disatisfying scene. Emperor Feng Xuan sat there while Consort Tao stood beside him. The two gazed affectionately at one another, as if they contained thousands of emotions.
A cold smile hung on Feng Yi Xuans lips, his entire bodys aura was fierce like a cold wind passing by, chilling people to the bone. This cold air brought the Emperor and Consort Tao to their senses. The two saw Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian and recovered proper decorum.
Beloved consort, you can return! Emperor Feng Xuan gently pat Consort Taos shoulder. Consort Tao smiled charmingly, curtsied and left the Imperial Study, but Lan You Nian can clearly sense Consort Tao faintly eyeing her. That nce was filled with too much hatred.
AXuan, you came! Feng Xuan looked at his son and shot a nce at Lan You Nian, his meaning obvious: that is, he hoped Lan You Nian could leave, because what they were going to discuss was the pces secret. He didnt want others to know, even if this person was his daughter-inw.
Say whatever you wish. If youre not going to say anything, were leaving! Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian and sat down, saying impolitely. Chasing Nian Nian away? Hmph!
Feng Xuan knew his sons meaning and especially knew this son spoiled this girl too much. If he really let Lan You Nian leave, this son will definitely leave too. This was why Feng Xuan didnt leave this throne to his sixth son, because this sixth son was a man whos willing to abandon the world for one person.
Xuaner, I know you dont like Consort Tao, but Imperial father is old. Consort Tao is a sensible woman. Imperial Father hopes you wont make trouble for Consort Tao. Look at how she looks like your Consort Mother... Emperor Feng Xuan said a little tiredly.
Enough! Feng Yi Xuan broke off Emperor Feng Xuans words, That woman looks like Consort Mother? Your eyes are still as terrible as usual, truly blind! You say you love Consort Mother, but how many wrongs have you done to Consort Mother? Yet now you find such a woman to rece Consort Mother? Feng Xuan, you are really disgusting!
Feng Yi Xuans direct calling of his name didnt make Feng Xuan angry but made his face turn pale. He couldnt find any reason to refute. He can only painfully say, This emperor really loves your Consort Mother. This emperor has wronged her, but Consort Tao...
Feng Yi Xuan didnt wait for Feng Xuan to finish before pulling Lan You Nian out of the Imperial Study. Before leaving, Feng Yi Xuan left a word, If you really love Consort Mother, no one will be able to rece her! If a woman who was simr in appearance can rece Consort Mother, it wasnt love.
Meanwhile, in Consort Taos pce, it was brightly lit. Consort Tao sat on a seat in the pce hall, stroking her beautiful face, smiling a strange and sinister smile. Consort Tao looked at Feng Shao Chu who was sitting there, Second wangye, do you see his Majesty and fourth wangye are starting to have animosity between them? This is a good opportunity for second wangye to perform. Second wangye cant let this consort be disappointed!
Feng Shao Chu looked at Consort Tao who exuded a seductive air, smirking flirtingly, Consort Tao can rest assured. This prince wont disappoint Consort Tao! Ever since the pce coup, even though he jumped over this hurdle, Imperial Father no longer put him in an important position. The authority in his hands has also been emptied by Feng Xia Qi. He was now only a prince with an empty title. He didnt expect Consort Tao to find him and say she wanted to help him, and sure enough, this woman aplished it!
Naturally this consort believes in second prince. Otherwise, why would I find second prince to partner with? Consort Tao giggled but deep within her eyes, it was filled with contempt for Feng Shao Chu.
May I ask what Consort Tao wants? Feng Shao Chu asked. This Consort Tao wouldnt help him for no reason. In this world, who isnt selfish?
This consort wants Lan You Nian to wish for death! Consort Taos eyes filled with so much hatred it surprised Feng Shao Chu. No matter how he looked at it, he found it impossible for Consort Tao and Lan You Nian to know each other, but Feng Shao Chu didnt question it. After all, the enemy of his enemy was his friend, wasnt it?
Consort Tao can rest assured, whether it is Lan You Nian or Lan manor, once our wishes are achieved, Consort Tao can do what you wish with them!
Feng Yi Xuan originally held Lan You Nians hand as they strolled in the imperial pce. Afterwards, he directly picked up Lan You Nian, using qinggong to fly in the imperial pce. Lan You Nian didnt utter a sound. She didnt know how tofort Feng Yi Xuan, so she could only silently stay beside him.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into a dark and deserted pce and stopped. Then, he carried Lan You Nian into the pce. Even though it seemed like no one has lived here for a long long time, the inside was still well taken care of.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian to a swing in the pce and sat down on the swing, looking at Nian Nian in his arms, Hasnt Nian Nian always been curious about my past?
Lan You Nian nodded. In the past, she was indeed curious about Feng Yi Xuans past. Feng Yi Xuans temperament was too aloof and his eyes were a surprise for Lan You Nian. But seeing Feng Yi Xuan feeling heartache inside, Lan You Nian didnt want to know anymore.
Xuan, if you dont wish to, you dont have to, alright? Lan You Nian hugged Feng Yi Xuans waist infort. She knew if she wanted to know, no matter how painful the past was, Feng Yi Xuan will tell her without concealment.
Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians eyes, saying, Actually, Ive always wanted to tell you, only I havent found the right opportunity. Today Il tell Nian Nian my past. Then, we wont have any secrets between us!
Lan You Nian remained silent as she encouragingly looked at Feng Yi Xuan. Whatever Feng Yi Xuan wanted to say, she will listen and be a good listener.
Nian Nian, do you know where this is? Feng Yi Xuan looked around at the clean but silent pce.
This is Consort Mothers pce? Where Xuan lived when you were little? Lan You Nian asked.
Hearing Lan You Nians address of Consort Mother, Feng Yi Xuan felt his mood lighten and tapped Lan You Nians nose, Nian Nian is so smart. This is Consort Mothers pce before her passing, as well as the most beautiful ce in the imperial pce!
Next, Lan You Nian listened to Feng Yi Xuan tell the story of the past...
Chapter 225 - Xuan’s Recollecting Memories, Nian’s Heartache
Chapter 225 Xuans Recollecting Memories, Nians Heartache
Feng Yi Xuans Consort Mother was Jing manors legitmate eldest young miss, as well as a well-known talenteddy and beauty in the capital, one of the most beautiful women in the capital alongside Lan You Nians mother. Feng Yi Xuans mother, Jing shi, has been protected very well by Jing manor. Above, she had a mother and father who loved her and an older brother who protected her. In the past, Jing shi was a very happy and a naive girl.
But the year Jing shi was sixteen, she met Feng Xuan who came to the manor to look for Jing Leng. At that time, Feng Xuan was still a prince and Feng empire already had a Crown Prince, but it still couldnt hide Feng Xuans handsome face and umon schemes. From first nce, Jing shis face turned read and heart was moved by him.
Feng Xuan was Jing Lengs good friend. That day, he was searching for Jing Leng to discuss a matter so he went to Jing manor but never expected to encounter a youngdy in a pink dress standing there. When Feng Xuan saw the girls looks clearly, his heart couldnt help being moved. For the first time, Feng Xuan felt his heart being moved.
A young men and youngdies romance was such baffling like this. Because of that one time they met without any interaction, they fell in love with one another. Ever since then, Feng Xuan often ran to Jing manor. Jing manors people didnt overthink the matter. What they didnt know was that most of the time Feng Xuan came to see Jing shi. And Jing shi liked to stay by her older brothers side every day, because this way she could interact more with Feng Xuan and see him more often.
The two were mutually in love and often sneaked off to secretly meet. In the course of this, the two determined their feelings. Jing shi told this to her parents and older brother but only got everyones objection. Jing shi didnt understand. Whether it was character or looks, Feng Xuan was outstanding. Why wont her family agree?
But Jing shis parents considered a lot more. Though Feng xuan was the most outstanding amongst the princes, the Emperor has long chosen a Crown Prince. If their daughter was to marry Feng Xuan, what should happen to their daughter if Feng Xuan should fight for the throne? Jing shis parents always wished Jing shi to marry an ordinary familys young master. That way they could protect their daughter and not let their daughter suffer any grievances.
Jing shi didnt know her parents worries. At that time, Jing shis whole heart was on Feng Xuan. Feng Xuan simrily loved Jing shi. After much effort, the two finally obtained Jing manors recognition and had the Emperor decree a marriage. Jing shi became Feng Xuans main consort.
That year, Feng Xuan once said to Jing shi, he would only marry one wife! This moved Jing shi, believing she has found the love of her life.
After marriage, Jing shi and Feng Xuan were as in love as before, but good times didntst long. Because of how outstanding Feng Xuan was, the Crown Princes factions jealous and secret harm to Feng Xuan, Feng Xuan couldnt bear it anymore and started to join in the fight for the throne, wanting to be the person above all.
Feng Xuans seizure of the throne was very dangerous, so he needed help. Therefore, he needed to marry those daughters of ministers.
Then, Jing shi was pained and helpless but could do nothing. The man who once loved her now wanted power. Even if Feng Xuan said he loved her the most, said he has wronged her, Feng Xuan still married one side consort after another into the manor. Even if Feng Xuans love for her was still the same, there was now a rift between the two.
Afterward, Feng Xuan finally killed the Crown Prince and sessfully became Feng empires crown prince and ascended the throne, and crowned Jing shi as Empress. An manors youngdy, An Qian Mei be Noble Consort. Jing shi once asked Feng Xuan why but Feng Xuan said, he only just ascended the throne so his rule wasnt stable. He needed Prime Minister Manors power.
Life in the harem was filled with dark schemes. Though Jing shi has married for many years, her heart was still clean. Under so many set ups, she still maintained her original heart towards every person. Even if she med Feng xuan, she still lowered her head at the man she loved, because she was pregnant.
Jing shi has married Feng Xuan for many years and has yet to be with child. Afterward, Feng Xuan ascended the throne, there were several consorts and concubines who became with child, including the arrogant Noble Consort An. Jing shis pregnancy made Feng Yi Xuan unbelievably happy and started to be concerned about Jing shi even more. The two returned to the days in the past and started their live filled with love.
But good days didntst. After Feng Xia Qi was born, An manors power started to dominate half the court. Noble Consort An outshined all others in the harem, even Feng Xuan continuously stayed in Noble Consorts pce. Meanwhile, Jing shi, the empress, because she had a son, Feng Xia Qi, would spend every day teaching Feng Xia Qi. Her life now had someone to rely on.
Feng Xuan wasnt unaware of Jing shis gradual estrangement but Feng Xuan was helpless. On one hand was the woman he loved most and on the other hand, was the empire he worked so hard for. Feng Xuan didnt want to put down either one, so he purposefully favored Noble Consort An but privately paid attention to Jing shi. But once a womans hurt was wounded, even if you had no alternative, the woman would no longer have any expectations. Though Jing shis personality was naive, she had backbone of a woman. She already started to put down Feng Xuan. If it wasnt necessary, she wouldnt step out of her pce.
Jing shi thought she would be trapped in this Empresss pce her whole life but Jing shi never expected that one day Feng Xuan wille to the pce after being drunk and have rtions with her uncaring of her wishes. It was that night, Jing shi once again became with child and gave birth to Feng Yi Xuan after ten months.
The moment Feng Yi Xuan was born, the mama who delivered him screamed. Because the newly born sixth prince had a pair of demonic purple eyes. In an instant, gossip began in the pce. Many officials jointly demanded the demon Feng Yi Xuan to be killed.
The newly born Feng Yi Xuan was considered a monster in many peoples eyes. Feng Xuan couldnt resist the court and the harems joint submission of memorials and suppressed his pain to kill this child. Feng Xuan felt once he got rid of Prime Ministers faction, he and Jing shi will have many children. Thus, this child couldnt stay.
But what surprised Feng Xuan was, when Jing shi knew those people anted to kill her child, she used her life to threaten Feng Xuan and even pleaded with Noble Consort An. If she could let her child live, she will never take a step out of the Empresss pce.
For Jing shi, she didnt fear demons or evil monsters. This was the child she managed to give birth to with much hardship, the flesh that dropped from her body, the child she wanted to protect!
With Jing shis pleading and Jing manors protection, Feng Yi xuans life was saved. And the Empress, as she had promised, never took a step out of the Empresss pce. After many years, many people have forgotten there was still an Empress and only knew of the Noble Consort An.
In the five years, Feng Xuan came to the Empresss pce many times to see Jing shi, but unfortunately, Jing shis heart was dead. Towards this man she once loved with her whole heart, she no longer possessed any feelings, so every time Feng Xuan left, he was filled with rage.
In those five years of life, the Empress always attentively took care of Feng Yi Xuan. Because of Feng Yi Xuans eyes, no one was willing to y with him, but Feng Yi Xuan was d that Consort Mother always loved him, making him feel warm and happy. Older brother protected him too. When someone called him a demon, older brother will charge up and beat them up.
But when Feng Yi Xuan was five years old, while Feng Xia Qi took lessons with a teacher, he was staying with Imperial Mother, An Qian Mei and some other consorts led guards to barge into Empresss pce, saying to the guards, Empress Jing shimits debauchery in the harem! Capture her!
Jing shi wanted to fight back how was a woman a match for those guards. Jing shis personal servant girls were killed by those guards and the little Feng Yi Xuan was hidden by a mama in the grass of the imperial pce.
Noble Consort An, this empress has not done such a thing! This empress wants to see His Majesty! Jing shi shouted. She already gave in so much yet why do they still not let her go?
Those consorts looked at Jing shi gloatingly. Even if Jing shi doesnt take a step out of Empresss pce, every time His Majesty obtained something valuable, he always sent it to the Empresss pce. He often entered Empresss manor, even if every time he charged out in anger. The women of the pce had heavy jealous hearts, so they have long had the desire for revenge towards Jing shi.
No matter how Jing shi tried to defend herself, however much she begged or raged, it was no use. Those consorts, already let those guards start her sentence. The little Feng Yi Xuan hid in the grass, watching his Consort Mother suffering in pain. Knowing he couldnt save his Consort Mother, he ran over to find the Imperial Father he hated the most, to let this so called Imperial Father save his Consort Mother.
The little Feng Yi Xuan stumbled all the way, falling an unknown number of times, before finally found Imperial Father staying in one consorts pce but the guard outside refused to allow Feng Yi Xuan to enter. Feng Yi xuan shouted but his mouth was covered up by the guard. Feng Yi Xuan saw his Imperial Father holding a young and beautiful consort as he kissed her. Theughter from Imperial Fathers lips made the little Feng Yi Xuans eyes bleed red.
Feng Yi Xuan bit the guard and ran. He knew Imperial Father wasnt reliable. He must find Imperial Brother, so he came over to the teachers ce to find older brother, stuttering as he informed him of Consort Mothers trouble. When Feng Xia Qi pulled the little younger brother running over to Consort Mothers pce, what they saw was Jing shi being covered by blood after torture and Jing shi had already lost her life!
That year, Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan were still children as they held the dead Jing shi kneeling there. The consort who caused all this already escaped. When Feng Xuan received the news, his expression was pained as he came to the Empresss pce and saw Jing shi who already had no warmth.
The little Feng Yi xuan saw the consort who was still by Feng Xuans side. Remembering this consort was the very one who was with his Imperial Father, Feng Yi Xuan picked up the sword of a guard and ughtered that consort. That was Feng Yi Xuans first time killing someone but there was no softness in his heart, his eyes only filled with ice and hatred.
The only five year old Feng Yi Xuan held his Consort Mothers body, refusing to allow Feng Xuan to touch her. This man shouldnt touch his Consort Mother. Feng Yi Xuan only felt he was so dirty!
It was from that day, Feng Yi Xuan has never genuinely smiled and Feng Xia Qi turned into someone who wore a mask all day. That year, Feng Yi Xuan encountered the Devil Lord everyone in the pugilistic world feared and became the Devil Lords disciple!
The Devil Lords teachings for Feng Yi Xuan were filled with blood. When the little Feng Yi Xuan followed the Devil Lord in practicing martial arts, his body was littered with scars. Most of the time, he was beaten half to death. Then on the second day, he continued to practice martial arts. During these days, Feng Yi Xuans body has never been perfectly intact. There were countless big and small wounds that were shocking to see. Under such a training, Feng Yi Xuan slowly grew stronger. His person became even colder.
Until Feng Yi Xuan turned ten years old, the Devil Lord passed away, Feng Yi Xuan learned all of the Devil Lords martial arts and lost arts and became a powerful being that not many people could match and established Ghost Realm,ter entering the military and joined the campaign to war, bing the Prince Ming everyone feared.
Even though Feng Yi Xuan described it very lightly, Lan You Nian knew of the confusion of a child being called a monster, the grief from losing his Consort Mother, and the pain from learning martial arts was not as easy as Feng Yi Xuan described it to be.
Xuan, Im with you now. Ill always be with you! Lan You Nian looked into Feng Yi Xuans purple eyes. That purple was very beautiful, like the sun rising from the horizon or the sun setting in the Western sky, that most beautiful purple haze, iparably magnificent and mysterious with endless transformations. With just once nce, it was enough to remember for a lifetime.
I know, I wont let you leave me! Feng Yi Xuan locked on Lan You Nians chin, kissing those cherry lips. The menacing, domineering and forceful kiss, Feng Yi Xuan felt his mouth fill with Nian Nians breath, carrying a mellow wine aroma, an enchanting fragrance, making Feng Yi Xuan yearn for it.
Nian Nian, if my past pain allowed me to meet you, then I dly endure any hardship! Because with you, all the bitterness, for me, it will no longer be painful....
Chapter 226 - 01 Nian Nian’s Embroidery
01 Nian Nians Embroidery
In You Nian Pavilion sat three beautiful women, all lowering their heads doing something.
Nianer, youre wrong again! Hua Mu Qing speechlessly gaped at the pouch in Lan You Nians hand. She always thought she wasnt good at these things, but seeing Lan You Nians embroidery, Hua Mu Qing felt her embroidery was so much better.
Yue Bai Lian put down the outer robes she was making for Feng Xia Qi and picked up the pouch Lan You Nian had thrown down an nth number of times, forcing back a giggle as she said, This one is much better than thest. Nianer shouldnt be discouraged. You can fix it with more care!
Lan You Nian wailed as she picked up the tragic-looking pouch. Because she wanted to embroider a pouch for Feng Yi Xuan, she dragged Hua Mu Qing and Yue Bai Lian over so she wont be so lonely. But Lan You Nian didnt expect her embroidery work was the worst of all three. Even Hua Mu Qings embroidery work was several times better than hers.
Why is it so hard? Lan You Nian looked at her embroidered pouch andpared it to the embroidery of Yue Bai Lian. This simply couldnt be seen alright? How can she gift this to Feng Yi Xuan? This pouch was to be worn on the waist. If others saw Feng Yi Xuan wearing such a bizarre pouch, Ming wangs face would be totally humiliated.
Yue Bai Lian was about to have Lan You Nian practice some more but when she saw the holes poked by needles in Lan You Nians fingertips, she didnt feel good inside. She was clearly a cold and apathetic girl but she was willing to do these things for the man she put in her heart. Yue Bai Lian felt such a Lan You Nian made peoples heart ache.
Nianer, you are already doing very well. Look at your injuries! Yue Bai Lian said and took out an ointment. Hua Mu Qing thoughtlessly took a look at Lan You Nians hands, and felt me seeing the pinpricks. For them, Lan You Nian was already the best, whether or not she can do these things. For some reason, everyones feelings toward Lan You Nian was that towards a little sister who needed protection. Hence, everyone was willing to indulge her.
Lan You Nian saw it was bingte outside and feared Feng Yi Xuan wille back early and had Lan Qu put the things away. She put her fingers on the table allowing Yue Bai Lian to apply the ointment. She felt Yue Bai Lian was bing more and more of a virtuous wife and mother, despite not being a mother yet.
What Lan You Nian was unaware was that every time Yue Bai Lian came back from You Nian Pavilion, she and Feng Xia Qi would always talk about Lan You Nian that day. Their hearts were full. Though they have already married, their thoughts havent changed at all.
Oh right, Nianer, I noticed there seems to be something slightly off with the Old Madame! Hua Mu Qing said curiously. Ever since Hua Mu Qing married into Lan manor, Lan You Nian had Hua Mu Qing manage the entire Lan manors residence, for this was Hua Mu Qings home. To their delight, though Hua Mu Qing had a rambunctious temper, there was nothing to pick out from her management. After entering Lan manor, with Uncle Lans help, Lan manor was managed very well. Hence, Hua Mu Qing would be the first to know if there was something strange with Old Madame.
Lan You Nian looked at the fingers that were rubbed with ointment, feeling much cooler and the pain from the pinpricks were feeling much better. Unconcerned, she asked, Oh? Whats strange? To speak the truth, Lan You Nian didnt take Old Madame seriously. Hence why she kept her alive. But it seems this Old Madame was feeling restless. She just didnt know what was the cause.
Previously, because of you, Old Madame never steps out of her courtyard but not only Old Madamees out of her courtyard, she goes to drink tea with those matrons from ministerial families. More importantly, Old Madame invites some madams and youngdies to Lan manor. I cant find an excuse to stop her so I allowed Old Madame to do so. From the looks of it, theres nothing wrong with Old Madame but I keep feeling somethings wrong! Hua Mu Qing said. She was aware that this Old Madame wasnt a good person. The current Lan manor was harmonious, besides that Old Madame.
Lan You Nian frowned asking, What people has Old Madame had contact with? Lan You Nian was well aware was dependent on something to do this, or perhaps someone was behind it, so Old Madame will not fear her and had her own ideas.
Hua Mu Qing considered it carefully. Because Old Madame wasnt a good person, Hua Mu Qing had her servant girl pay attention. But concerning whos been in contact, Hua Mu Qing thought of many. As she thought, Hua Mu Qings eyes brightened, Not much of contact but after Old Madames birthday, Consort Tao of the pce sent a pce maid topensate a birthday gift for Old Madame. At that time, I felt it was strange. Though Father has a high position in court, Old Madame is merely a old woman of the courtyard. Besides, what status is Consort Tao? It was inappropriate to do so!
That Consort Tao again... Lan You Nian knocked on the tables surface and asked, Do you feel that this Consort Tao is familiar? For some reason, Lan You Nian kept feeling this Consort Tao had too much animosity towards her. From first nce, Lan You Nian felt she knew this woman.
Yue Bai Lian and Hua Mu Qing considered it and shook their head. They didnt feel there was anything familiar with this Consort Tao. Yue Bai Lian asked worriedly, Could she be Nianers enemy? If youre entering the pce, you muste with me. I fear this Consort Tao has bad intentions!
Yue Bai Lian knew of Lan You Nians identity as Young Master Wu Qing. She feared Lan You Nian had offended someone and that person came for revenge.
Lan You Nian nodded. Naturally shell be wary of this Consort Tao. The enemies on the surface werent frightening. What was fearsome was the enemies that couldnt be seen. Such an enemy will take a bite out of you when youre not careful. The best method was to get rid of it.
Yue Bai Lian and Hua Mu Qing saw it was getting dark and prepared to leave. Yue Bai Lian was thinking of going back and discussing Consort Taos matters. They must protect Nianer, so this Consort Tao couldnt stay!
Lan Wu and Lan Qu carried dishes of food into the pavilion. Seeing young missying on the soft couch, pondering on some unknown matter, the two didnt bother her and silently stood by the table. They knew young miss was definitely thinking about things.
Until Lan You Nian was picked up, Lan You Nian returned to her senses and saw Feng Yi Xuan who came back early. Lan You Nian smiled, Why are you back so early?
Wu... Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian over to the table to eat, Missed you! Feng Yi Xuans words werent a lie. He really missed Nian Nian. Seeing there wasnt anything important in the military camp, he came back. The Ming army understood their masters feelings and sent Feng Yi Xuan ambiguous looks.
If I have time, Ill go with you to the military camp alright? Lan You Nian said. She didnt care how others looked at her, as long as she could apany Feng Yi Xuan. Besides, those rough men in the military camp were much easier to interact with than those youngdies of prominent families.
Feng Yi Xuan smiled, Alright! As for women not being allowed to enter the military camp, he didnt care for it at all. In Feng Yi Xuans eyes, if Lan You Nian wanted the throne, Feng Yi Xuan will rob it for Lan You Nian without any consideration.
The two of them chatted as they ate but Lan You Nians hands that were pricked by needles were ufortable holding chopsticks. Lan You Nian feared Feng Yi Xuan would notice so she acted coquettishly as she said, I want Xuan to feed me! Lan You Nian demanded assertively, her mouth open, very much like a little beast waiting to be fed, making Feng Yi Xuan want to take a few bites.
Feng Yi Xuan hated Lan You Nian couldnt act coquettish like this every day, loved to feed her every meal. If it were other men, theyd feel annoyed but for Feng Yi Xuan, to be together with Nian Nian, he was very happy and enjoyed himself. Even if it meant serving Nian Nian, he did so with all his heart.
Have you investigated that Consort ao? Lan You Nian asked. As for enemies, Lan You Nian wanted to grasp all the clues. Lan You Nian used Wu Qing Pavilion to investigate this Consort Tao but havent found anything useful. Hence, she asked Feng Yi xuan. After all, Ghost Realms forces werent to be underestimated.
Feng Yi Xuan took a few bites and said, This Consort Taos background was simply too ordinary. There didnt seem to be anything wrong but the more it seemed like there was nothing wrong, the more it meant there was a problem.
Feng Yi Xuan recalled the information he uncovered. Consort Tao was a child of an ordinary merchant family. Because she entered the pce as a pce maid, the Emperor took a liking to her and favored her and became Consort Tao. It looked like a very ordinary experience but Feng Yi Xuan saw something unusual about it. How could a woman be so clean? So there was something seriously wrong with this Consort Tao.
He, no matter what, this Consort Tao wont win! Lan You Nian mused. Because this Consort Tao didnt conceal her hatred very well, this Consort Tao was destined to lose. But Lan You Nian had to admit this Consort Tao found the best backer to use.
Feng Yi Xuan grabbed Lan You Nians hand, preparing to take a stroll. Every night after the two finished their meal, Feng Yi Xuan feared Lan You Nian wont be able to digest and so would take Lan You Nian out for a stroll in the courtyard. But as Feng Yi Xuan was going to grab Lan You Nians delicate hands, Lan You Nian giggled delicately and walked out of the pavilion first. Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed and swiftly carried Lan You Nian into the pavilion.
Take out your hands! Feng Yi Xuan demanded with a stony face. If others were to see it, they would be frightened beyond belief but Lan You Nian merely giggled and didnt listen. She already knew Feng Yi Xuan was suspicious of her hands, but Lan You Nian really didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to worry. She hasnt finished learning embroidery work yet. She still wanted to give Feng Yi Xuan a surprise.
No! Lan You Nian put her hands behind her back, very much like a rascally child as she curled up on the bed, refusing to take out her hands. Feng Yi Xuan was extremely worried and was going to yank Lan You Nians hand out, but afraid of hurting Lan You Nian; thus, the two yed out the scene of one person dodging as the other coaxed.
In the end, Feng Yi Xuan was totally out of his wits as he kissed Nian Nians red lips. When Lan You Nians legs were softening and everything bing hazy, he pulled out those small hands. With one look, Feng Yi Xuans face turned for the worst, as his voice was stern, How did this happen?
Lan You Nian pursed her lips and said, By ident. In any case, its fine. Xuan?
Feng Yi Xuan took a long look at Lan You Nian. The meaning was clear: he wanted to hear the truth. Feng Yi Xuan heart-achingly kissed Lan You Nians red and bruised fingers. Lan You Nian felt ticklish by Feng Yi Xuans kisses, wanting to rip her hands out but she wasnt stronger than Feng Yi Xuan.
I confess! So ticklish! Lan You Nian giggled as she fell onto the quilt, her cheeks red like an apple.
Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians hand and took out a fine quality ointment to apply it onto Lan You Nians fingers but his eyes remained on Lan You Nian, his voice gentle, If you dont confess, Ill summon Lan Qu and the others!
Dont! Lan You Nian stopped him and stammered bashfully. Even if Feng Yi Xuan tried to listne, he couldnt hear what Lan You Nian was saying and could only shout outside, Lan Wu, Lan Qu,e in!
Lan Qu and Lan Wu who were outside cleaning up the table trembled, not understanding whats wrong with this Ming wang who didnt usually talk to them. Still, they walked into the chamber and saw Ming wang tenderly applying ointment on their young misss fingers and instantly understood.
Whats wrong with Nian Nians hand? Feng Yi Xuan asked.
I forbid you from speaking! Lan You Nian stood up from the bed, You are my friends, youre not allowed to sell me out! Lan You Nian knew for sure if Feng Yi Xuan knew why she became like this, he will definitely want to take a look at the pouch she made him, but that pouch was too tragic to look at!
Speak! Feng Yi Xuan demanded and feared Nian Nian will be angry and said, If they dont talk, you can tell me alright? Seeing Nian Nian like this, Feng Yi Xuan felt there was certainly something up with the injuries on her fingers.
As Lan Qu was still hesitating, Lan Wu jumped out to say, Ming wang, young misss fingers became like this from embroidering a pouch for Ming wang! Saying this, Lan Wu didnt look at their young misss angry face and directly dragged on Lan Qu, running out.
Lan You Nian curled up in the quilt in embarrassment. Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian nest like a ostrich, feeling both heart ache and pleasure in his heart. Fearing the quilt will suffocate Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian out and into his arms, joyously asking, Embroidering a pouch for me?
Lan You Nian knew she couldnt hide it any longer and nodded, I wanted to make a personal object for you but it seems Im really not skilled with embroidery.
Where is it? Feng Yi Xuan asked, his voice carried eagerness.
Lan You Nian pointed to the box on the dresser. Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian as he opened the box and saw the embroidered pouch that couldnt be considered good looking. The pouch was ck, embroidered with a spider lily. On the back of the pouch, it was embroidered with a Xuan. If it wasnt for the embroidery work, this pouch would be considered good looking.
Uh that, Im just learning to embroider. This is the first one I made. In a few days, I will definitely embroider a pretty pouch and give it to you! Lan You Nian said, ready to take back the pouch in Feng Yi Xuans hand but was evaded by Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan stuffed the pouch into his chest, his eyes filled with an excited smile, This is very good. The first one Nian Nian embroidered is the best. Dont make any more in the future. Seeing the injuries on your hand, my heart aches...
But... Lan You Nian wanted to refute but was stifled by Feng Yi Xuans kiss. Hazily, Lan You Nian could only hear whisper in her eyes, As long as it was made by Nian Nian, I will like it, theyre all the best!
Chapter 227 - 02 Feng Xuan’s Rage
02 Feng Xuans Rage
The sky hasnt lightened but Feng Yi Xuan already rose out of bed, because he needed to attend the morning court this morning. Changing into a ck court uniform, Feng Yi Xuan hung the pouch that made him happy an entire night onto his jade belt and then ran to morning court.
Feng Xia Qi was the first one to notice the pouch on Feng Yi Xuans waist but when he saw it, he burst into guffaws. Feng Xia Qisugh attracted Jing Wu An and the others attention. When they saw Feng Yi Xuans pouch, they all burst intoughter.
Amongst the schrly and martial officials, many people wore jade pendants, satchets, or pouches and such things. This was very normal but no one has ever worn such an entric pouch. With this embroidery, a girl of a few years old could embroider much better.
Everyone looked at Feng Yi Xuan standing there, an unmatched handsome face, an indifferent and cold countenance, a lean, broad and tall build, everything was the Prince Ming that everyone respected and feared, but upon seeing the pouch, they inexplicably felt a urge tough but the officials didnt have the guts tough as the fourth prince and only lowered their heads fearfully.
But Feng Yi Xuan didnt care about their guffaws and was instead in a good mood. Feng Yi Xuan took a nce at the satchet at Feng Xia Qis waist, asking, Whered you get this?
This was made by the best embroideress! Feng Xia Qi said, unting it off. Since young, this younger brother was much stronger than him. After Feng Yi Xuan had the ability, the things he ate and used were much better than his. Finally he had an opportunity to unt, Feng Xia Qi wouldnt give this up.
Hn, Feng Yi xuan nodded. Its a pity no one personally made it for you. My pouch was made by Nian Nian personally. Theres my name on the back! Feng Yi Xuan said, clearly showing off as he looked at Feng Xia Qi.
Feng Xia Qi ground on his teeth, smiling, Its nothing. Ill go back tonight to ask Bai Lian to make me one. Bai Lians embroidery skill is very good. The things she embroiders are life-like!
Feng Yi Xuan continued to nod and his face remains unchanged, This is the first embroidery Nian Nian has made and she gave it to me! Feng Yi Xuans meaning was clear. The first time was always the most precious. Yours, who knows how many times Bai Lian has embroidered and given to how many people. Its nothing rare!
The smile on Feng Xia Qis face was starting to crack. He realized this younger brother was born to rip him off. Doesnt he know to yield to him? Was having a pouch so amazing? Though, from looking at Feng Yi Xuan, it really was amazing.
Jing Wu An, He Chu Yang and the others helplessly shook their head. This wasnt in their home, this was at court. Cant the two of you not so naturally discuss such childish things here? Do you not see the horrified gazes of the ministers?
Announcing his Imperial Majesty! the sharp voice ended Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qis silly showing off and returned to their own positions.
May His Majesty live long! On court, everyone knelt, expect Feng Yi Xuan who stood. In this world, there was no one worthy of him bending down to kneel but it was such a man who so naturally bent down and knelt to help a woman wear her slippers. It really was a strange thinking.
Beloved subjects you may rise! Feng Xuan walked up to the throne and sat, overlooking the court with pleasure. Ever since he got rid of the Prime Ministers factions ministers, Feng empires court was much cleaner and more honest. This was what an Emperor wished most to see.
Eunuch Lu, pass the decree! Emperor Feng Xuan said to Eunuch Lu beside him.
With the Heavens as Witness and by Imperial Command! Fourth prince Feng Xia Qi is of good-natured temperament, wise and resourceful, the model of a prince, today fourth prince Feng Xia Qi is conferred as Crown Prince, by Royal Decree!
Feng Xia Qi wasnt surprised. He already knew the position of Crown Prince would end up on his shoulders, but didnt expect the imperial decree to be sote. It looks like the Consort Tao in the harem has really affected Imperial Father, making Imperial Father reconsider even him.
Subject son receives the decree! Thank Imperial Fathers grace! Feng Xia Qi knelt, receiving the decree. Whether or not he liked that seat, he must sit on it. In the past, it was to protect his little brother, now it was also to protect that girl, protect his friends, and protect the tens of thousands of citizens.
All the ministers congratted Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi smiled modestly and politely. Then morning court began as usual. If you have a report to make, do so, if not, morning court ends.
Your Majesty, this subject has something to report! An old minister stepped out under Feng Xia Qis smile, It is inappropriate for Consort Tao to leap up to the position of consort as the daughter of a merchant. And now Consort Tao has beencking in etiquette during Lan manors birthday banquet, this minister asks Your Majesty to cancel Consort Taos position as consort!
Emperor Feng Xuan looked at the old minister below. He knew this minister was a subordinate of his fourth son. But Feng Xuan didnt expect since he already gave the Crown Prince position to his fourth son andpensated his sixth son as much as he could, these two sons still did this. At his age, he wanted a confidante to stay by his side, yet they wanted to stop him. His affections for their Consort Mother has never changed, why do these two children always never understand his hardship?
Consort Tao is respectful in the harem and is a very good woman. She is suited to the position of consort! Emperor Feng Xuan nced at Feng Xia Qi and looked at Eunuch Lu and dismissed the court but Feng Xuan didnt see the mockery in Feng Xia Qis eyes.
Feng Xia Qi once had expectations towards this Imperial Father, but day after day, year after year of expectation, it no longer mattered. His Imperial Father seemed to do all this for the good of Feng empire, but he was only a good Emperor, not a good husband or a good father. Yet this man was starting to be enraged for a woman on court, then why when Consort Mother was still alive, didnt he made such efforts for Consort Mother?
Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi walked shoulder to shoulder out of court. Feng Yi Xuans voice was without undtion as he said, Youre too rash! Though Imperial Fathers actions were indeed loathsome, this couldnt affect Consort Tao in any way. Instead, it will only make Consort Tao increase her vignce and Imperial Father would only take pity on this woman.
Feng Xia Qi looked at the rising sun, smiling, I know. I only wanted to see how much sincerity Imperial Father has towards this woman who only has the outer shell. Ha, it looks like Imperial Father really like that woman! He could treat a substitute like this but why did he hurt his wife so much?
You shouldnt have any illusions! Feng Yi Xuans said indifferently. Perhaps others will think Feng Xuan disappointed Consort Mother because he had no choice, but that was merely that mans excuse. If he really loved Consort Mother, he wouldnt have abandoned Consort Mother. He wouldnt have caused her to die to tragically. And now he hypocritically treated a woman who looked so much like Consort Mother so well, this was simply insulting Consort Mother!
A long time ago, I no longer had any illusions. I merely want to see. That way I have some confidence when dealing with Consort Tao! Feng Xia Qi said. Since Imperial Father cared for Consort Tao so much, he can only crumble it from the foundation. Otherwise, everything else would be in vain. Though he was now the Crown Prince, it was still merely a Crown Prince.
Crown Prince wait, Prince Ming wang! Eunuch Lu jogged over to the two, greeting them customarily, sweat still hanging on his forehead from running.
Feng Xia Qi offered a friendly smile as he asked, Why has Eunuch Lu let this crown prince and imperial brother to wait? Feng Xia Qis image outside has always been good. On court, there was many praises for Feng Xia qi, and not like the fear for Feng Yi Xuan.
His Majesty summons the Crown Prince into Peach Pce. It was this old ve who overstepped and wanted Prince Ming to go with! Eunuch Lu has watched Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan grow up and had a benevolent elderly heart towards the two.
Hearing this, Feng Xia Qi knew something has happened in the harem and it was rted to him. Feng Xia Qi said to Eunuch Lu, This crown prince doesnt know what has happened. If I were to recklessly go, I fear I will anger Imperial Father. May I ask Eunuch Lu to tell this crown prince what has happened?
Eunuch Lu already nned to tell the two. After all, Eunuch Lu didnt like Consort Tao, but His Majesty liked her so as a servant, he couldnt say anything. Eunuch Lu hastily reported the happenings of the harem to Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan.
It turns out after Feng Xuan left court, he headed to Peach Pce but he didnt expect once he entered Peach Pce, he saw several corpses and Consort Tao who has crumbled to the ground, trembling. Feng Xuan saw Consort Tao like this and thought of Jing shi and felt even more heartache. He directly picked Consort Tao up and roared at the pce maids and eunuchs in the Peach Pce to tell him what happened.
As per the pce maids words, Feng Xuan knew as Consort Tao was rising, she encountered an assassination. Those assassins were the dead eunuchs in the courtyard. Feng Xuan thought if he didnt fear someone will cause harm to Consort Tao and sent some eunuchs with powerful martial arts to Consort Taos side, he feared Consort Tao would have perished.
But when Feng Xuan saw the dead eunuchs, he became even more enraged. Those eunuchs were other people but those who have once served Feng Xia Qi. They can be said to be Feng Xia Qis spies in the pce. Feng Xuan always knew but because he wanted to deal with the Empress, Feng Xuan has never stopped him, even indulging him. But he didnt expect these people gave rise to the desire to harm Consort Tao. Feng Xuan felt his child has bing more and more outrageous.
Imperial Father! Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi xuan walked into the luxurious Peach Pce. The same smile appeared on the brothers lips.
Feng Xuan wanted to vent his anger on Feng Xia Qi and even wanted to scold Feng Xia Qi but seeing his sixth son staring at coldly, Feng Xuan felt as if he couldnt say a word. He always felt his sixth sons icy gaze was like the one he wore on the day of Jing shis death, so cold it made Feng Xuan afraid.
You look! Look what youve done! Feng Xuan pointed at the corpse andforted Consort Tao who kept weeping. Consort Tao looked fearfully at Feng Xia Qi as if Feng Xia Qi was an evil monster, making Feng Xuan even angrier.
Feng Xia Qi nced at the dead bodies on the ground, feeling quite strange. These eunuchs were indeed the spies she ced in the pce. Last night when Bai Lian came back, she told him this Consort Tao might be a threat to little sister Nianer. Both Feng Xia Qi and Bai Lian were extremely worried. Hence, Feng Xia Qi had these spiese to Peach Pce to work to find information, but Feng Xia Qi didnt expect these people not only died, Consort Tao would bite him back.
Whats wrong? Even though Feng Xia Qi has learned the happenings from Eunuch Lus mouth, Feng Xia Qi still had to pretend not to know anything.
Whats wrong? Feng Xuans rage blew over his head, You still ask? This ve is so daring he dared to assassinate a consort. Old four, doesnt this ve deserve to die?
Oh? This ve is actually so daring. He really deserves to die! I just dont know if they really die innocently! Feng Xia Qi said smiling and looked at Consort Tao, Or is that to say Consort Tao is really lucky to be safe and sound?
Old four! Feng xuan looked at the trembling Tao Fei, scolding, Dont be overdoing it! Feng Xuan didnt want to admit this was connected to his fourth son. If others were to know, how could his fourth son sit firmly on the seat of Crown Prince? And his fourth son truly was suited to this throne.
Feng Xia Qi checked the reason for the the eunuchs death and found it was instant death. It looks like Imperial Father really expended a great price for this Consort Tao. Ha, with noparison in the past, he didnt know, but there there was, it really was frightening!
Imperial Father, if you sent people to protect Consort Mother, would Consort Mother have died? Feng Xia Qi said and left Peach Pce with Feng Yi xuan. Because of these words, Feng Xuan dropped all the words intended to me Feng Xia Qi.
Consort Tao lowered her head, her teary eyes filled with malice. She miscalcted, such angering!
Feng Xia Qi wasnt so upset when he left. The words he said was merely using Imperial Fathers guilt. He only just sat on the position of Crown Prince. He didnt want to receive any punishment.
AXuan, have you noticed something? Feng Xia Qi asked.
The eunuch by Consort Taos side is off! Feng Yi Xuan dered with certainty. From first nce, as he was observing the people in Peach Pce, Feng Yi Xuan noticed there was something off with the eunuch behind Consort Tao. No matter how well the eunuch disguised himself, it couldnt escape from his eye.
Oh? Feng Xia Qi didnt notice, AXuan, what are you going to do?
Watch a good show! Feng Yi Xuan said, leaving. He still had to go back to eat the morning meal with Nian Nian. Who let him be so chatty?
Feng Xia Qi watched Feng Yi Xuan use qinggong to leave, grumbling, Think I dont have a wife? Hmph!
Chapter 228 - 03 Old Madame’s Restless
03 Old Madames Restless
Lan manor looks to be very bustling! Lan You Nian asked Zhang Lin. Most of the time, Zhang Lin knew more about whats going on in Lan manor than Lan Wu and Lan Qu. Recently one couldnt find Lan Wus shadow. Lan You Nian didnt have to guess to know she must have been dragged off by An Yi.
Zhan Lin stood tall, this posture was respect towards Lan You Nian.
Answering young miss, Old Madame invited many ministerial madames and youngdies for tea at Lan manor! Zhang Lin answered. Young miss once instructed him to pay more attention to the happenings in Lan manor, so he was well aware of these trivial matters.
Young miss, it looks like theres something wrong with Old Madame? Lan Qu poured tea her young miss as she casually asked. With Old Madames schemes, she wasnt an opponent for young miss. Even if theres someone behind Old Madame, itd still to no avail. Young miss intended to let Old Madame go yet this Old Madame was still unsatisfied.
Young miss, I heard Consort Tao will being to Lan manor. I heard Consort Tao and Old Madame has much affinity, so His Majesty specially allowed Consort Tao to leave the pce toe to Lan manor! Zhang Lin continued to tell things to the young miss. He knew young miss was hostile towards this Consort Tao.
Lan You Nian stroked the teacup in her hand, It looks like itll be eventful today! This Consort Tao was really everywhere. What was annoying was that they couldnt find anything about Consort Taos true identity. Maybe today was a good opportunity to feel out this Consort Tao.
With Lan You Nians words, Hua Mu Qing entered You Nian Pavilion. Seeing Lan You Nian, a smile bloomed on her face, Nianer, youre the most leisurely. I couldnt stand those womens chatter any longer!
You are now Lan manors matriarch. If you arent tired, who should be tired? Lan You Nian giggled, getting up and walked over to Hua Mu Qing, Youre here to take me to the garden?
Hua Mu Qing looked at Lan You Nian in shock, Though I know youre smart, but cant you not be so smart? I havent told you the reason and you already guessed it. Who knows whats going on in Old Madames brain, saying you muste to the garden to admire the flowers with the madames and youngdies. Nianer, you must be careful. This Consort Tao is here too!
I know. Sister Mu Qing, you be careful as well! Lan You Nian said and the two headed for Lan manors gardens. Actually, the scenery of Lan manors garden wasnt as beautiful as the scenery in Lan You Nians You Nian Pavilion but ordinary people didnt dare to go to You Nian Pavilion. Those guards standing at the gates werent for y.
When Lan You Nian arrived at the garden, she still the garden was filled with many madames and youngdies as well as Consort Tao and Old Madame sitting up top. Seeing Old Madame and Consort Tao, they truly have an affinity. When the two saw Lan You Nian entering the garden, their eyes shed.
Faint wispy brows, as if displeased, as if overjoyed as it held emotions, a small delicate and pretty nose, a naturally red cherry lips, skin like fat, cheeks like pink dawn, a willowy waist, standing there gracefully beside the carved wooden fence of the flower pavilion. Under the brilliant sunshine, Lan You Nians beauty that could overthrow countries was emerged as if an illusion.
Consort Tao, Old Madame! Lan You Nian curtsied, making the crowd return to their senses. Lan You Nians beauty was indeed a huge shock to them. Even if many of them have seen LAn You Nian, every time they see her, they will always marvel after her exquisite face.
Old Madame is truly blessed to have a celestial fairy-like granddaughter. This continents first beauty, Im afraid only Lan manors eldest young miss can shoulder it! A ministeral madame praised. The other madames followed in agreement. Lan You Nian was not only Lan manors legitimate daughter but the future Princess Consort Ming. With the strength of Prince Mings adoration for her, those who had eyes wont easily provoke Lan You Nian.
Old Madames lips were a little stiff as she smiled and gestured to Lan You Nian, Nianer girl,e, sit by grandmother! Those who werent aware would think were very good family but dont know that both people had their own calctions.
Lan You Nian smiled gently and took small steps to Old Madames side and sat just below the Old Madame. Looking at Old Madame, her eyes shed with an inexplicable smile. That smile made Old Madame afraid but thinking of Consort Tao sitting beside her, Old Madame straightened her body.
Hua Mu Qing sat under Lan You Nian, eying Old Madame and Consort Tao from time to time, afraid these two old demons will do something harmful to Lan You Nian. She wasnt only Lan You Nians sister-inw, she was also her older sister.
Everything seemed normal. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. The madames and youngdies would chat about clothes and essories and such things. Lan You Nian only smiled as she sat there and muttering a sound in agreement from time to time. Her etiquette was entirely correct that none of the madames could pick out a mistake. If Prince Ming hasnt settled on her, they really wanted to have their own sonse ask for marriage. A woman with good looks and temperament wasntmon.
But at this time, Old Madame who was sitting above suddenly spat out ck blood. This time, she frightened everyone who was unsure what to do. They all shouted for a doctor while Old Madame pointed at Lan You Nian, trembling as she said, You...its you...you bastard!
With this, the Old Madame fainted but Old Madames previous words were intriguing. The madames and youngdies didnt know what to do. They could only find a doctor toe while the manservant has already informed General Lan.
Based on Old Madames symptions, she has been poisoned. Before Old Madame passed out, she pointed at eldest young miss. In order to understand whether theres a misunderstanding, Lan manors eldest miss shouldnt leave! Consort Tao stood up saying and shot a look at the eunuch beside her. The eunuch got it and immediately left the garden.
Lan You Nians expression remained unchanged as she looked at Consort Tao and soothed Hua Mu Qing who was enraged. Then, without any hurry, she said, Is Consort Tao so certain this young miss is the one who ced the poison? Isnt this unfair to this young miss? This young miss is more worried than anyone that Old Madame is poisoned. Everyone in the gardens is suspect. What does Consort Tao think?
Lan eldest miss is right. How about everyone stay here and dont move. Lets wait for the physician toe and wait for the truth! Consort Tao came to Lan You Nians side and pat Lan You Nians shoulder, This Consort was frightened. Lan eldest miss was correct. Please ask Lan eldest miss to forgive this consort!
Lan You Nian pulled away Consort Taos hand and smiled, Consort Tao is the head of the four consorts. To say so without any evidence and start to nder, it really goes against the virtues of a consort. Its well if Old Madame ends up being fine, but if something happens to Old Madame, does Consort Tao want this humble girl to shoulder this unclear injustice?
Consort Tao didnt expect Lan You Nian to be so aggressive even now. Cleary she was the one in the right yet looking at Lan You Nian, it appears she is in the wrong. Consort Tao was a little angered. Looking at Lan You Nian, she said, This consort hasnt wronged Lan eldest miss. Lan eldest miss knows that after Old Madame was poisoned, she pointed at no one but Lan eldest miss!
The physician hasnte yet Consort Tao is in a hurry to ce the me on this girl. Those who dont know will think Consort Tao wishes it was this girl who hasmitted the crime. Lan You Nian stood there saying. She finally knew what Old Madame and Consort Tao wanted to know. She had to say they really took great pains in order to frame her.
Consort Tao wanted to refute but at this time Lan Jian Jun already returned while Prince Ming, the Crown Prince as well as Tutor He hase to Lan manor. Everyone was surprised. Its unknown how many years since Tutor He has stepped foot into Lan manor but now he has entered Lan manor, they all knew Tutor He was most likely here for Lan You Nian.
They all guessed correctly. At the time, they were all in the pce dealing with matters when Lan manor sent people to say something has urred in the manor. Lan Jian Jun them immediately came to Lan manor. When Tutor He heard this, he feared his maternal granddaughter will suffer greivances and followed.
Imperial physician, check whats wrong with Old Madame Lan Jian Jun said to the imperial doctor. No matter what, the correct thing to do was to first save the Old Madame.
The Imperial physician examined for a while under everyones gaze and then helped Old Madame to some medicine. After a moment, the imperial doctor said, Old Madame was only poisoned. But fortunately, the poison isnt deep and has been discovered early. As long as she eats a few more medicine, the Old Madame should be fine!
She really has been poisoned! Consort Tao looked at Lan You Nian, Before Old Madame fainted, she testified that it was Lan eldest miss who did it. As Old Madame was chatting with this consort, she once said Lan eldest miss doesnt like Old Madame. I wonder if this poison was ced by Lan eldest miss. This is Lan eldest misss familial paternal grandmother!
Consort Tao must have evidence to your words. Doesnt Consort Tao know that misfortunees from the mouth? This woman really can find trouble for Nianer. A few days ago, she looked for trouble with Feng Xia Qi and now she came to Lan manor. It was really annoying.
Consort Tao, this old man respects you as a consort but to a matter that has no proof, I ask the consort to be careful with your words. Otherwise, this old man will risk his life to to the court return justice to this ones granddaughter! Tutor He looked at Consort Tao, his gaze filled with an elderly wiseness.
The matters of this generals manor, this general doesnt know when Consort Tao knew more than this general. Old Madame and Nianer has always had a good rtionship. If their rtionship wasnt good, why would Old Madame have Nianere over to admire the flowers? If Consort Tao does not care for reason and to nder this generals daughter, are you bullying that my Lan manor has no one? Lan Jian Jun said, looking at Consort Tao.
With so many people crowding out Consort Tao, the madames and youngdies naturally wont take the initiative to say something. And Consort Tao was forced into tears by everyones words. At this time, no one expected Emperor Feng Xuan toe to Lan manor.
When Feng Xuan heard the whole story, he was a little suspicious. Though he hasnt had much interaction with Lan You Nian this girl, he knew this girl to have a straightforward personality. She wouldnt do such a thing nor would she choose such a time to do it.
Your Majesty, since the imperial doctor said the Old Madame is poisoned, then how about we inspect Lan eldest misss body to see if she carries some poison. This way we can return justice to Lan eldest miss! Consort Tao said very virtuously, feeling very smug inside as if she can already seen Lan You Nian being spurned by others.
Feng Yi Xuan shot a look at Consort Tao. There was nothing in that gaze but because there was nothing, it was frightening. Lan You Nian stood by Feng Yi Xuan saying, Consort Taos method is a good idea, but if youre set on this girl, its unfair. How about everyone gets inspected? If this young miss didnt poison the Old Madame, perhaps the one who did is still by us?
Though no one wanted to be inspected for no reason at all, they knew anyone who was in the garden couldnt evade the matter. Besides, His Majesty was present so who dared to protest?
The first to be inspected was Lan You Nian. The one to inspect her was an old mama of the pce. After inspecting Lan You Nian carefully, the mama replied, Answering Your Majesty, Lan eldest miss has nothing on her. There is no poison.
What? Consort Tao asked in disbelief then remembering her sudden eximation will cause people to suspect, she hastily changed her tone, This is good. This means Lan eldest miss is innocent. It looks like this matter has nothing to do with Lan eldest miss!
Up next was the madames and youngdies in the garden but after inspecting around, there wasnt any discoveries.
Its really strange. The Imperial Doctor clearly said the poison was ced presently. Howe we havent found the person? Could it be the person has run? Yue Bai Lian nced at Hua Mu Qing, pondering in confusion.
Hua Mu Qing saw Yue Bai Lians look and suddenly eximed, Hasnt Consort Tao not been inspected?
Upon hearing this, it did seem like Consort Tao was the only one not to have been inspected so everyone looked at Consort Tao. For some reason, Consort Tao felt panick and looked at Hua Mu Qing, Does Lan madame suspect this consort. Why would this consort do such a thing? Consort Tao wanted to lean into Emperor Feng Xuan as if she suffered a great greivance.
But this time Emperor Feng Xuan didnt shield her. After all, with so many eyes watching, the one who asked to inspect was Consort Tao herself, Feng Xuan only stood there without saying a word watching as things progressed.
Consort Taos words are strange. Everyone has epted to being inspected, why is Consort Tao unwilling? Or do you have a guilty conscience? Thats right, from the start, Consort Toao has ndered little sister Nianer. Now that little sister Nianer is innocent, Consort Tao isnt willing to prove her innocence. This... Yue Bai Lian stood beside Feng Xia Qi as she smiled. Yue Bai Lians tone of voice was practically the same as Feng Xia Qi, as it carried an aggressive tone.
Alright, this consort will ept inspection! Consort Tao, thought though there wasnt anything found on Lan You Nian, nothing could be found on her either.
The two mama came up to inspect Consort Tao but in a moment, the two mamas face became ugly. They wanted to say but thinking this Consort Tao was the Emperors most beloved conosrt, if they offended her, they didnt know if they can live.
Why wont the two mamas speak? What have you found? Imperial Father is here today. If you dare lie, its the crime of sphemy to the Emperor! Feng Xia Qi stood there smiling and looked at his Imperial Father. My Imperial Father, this time, will you still protect her woman?
Speak! Feng Yi xuans low voice carried a suppression and two mama immediately knelt on the ground, Answering Your Majesty, the poison is hidden on Consort Taos hairpin!
With these words, everyone looked at Consort Tao with suspicion. So it turns out it was the thief calling to catch the thief? Many madames and youngdies were dissatisfied with Consort Tao, thinking that Consort Taos family heritage was merely of merchant background and didnt regard her too highly.
I... Consort Taos tears blurred her vision as she looked at Feng Xuan, Your Majesty, I didnt. Whats the benefit of me poisoning Old Madame? Old Madame treats me so well, how could I do such a thing?
Feng Xuan was a little suspicious but seeing Consort Taos face that was so like the already dead Jing shi fill with tears, Feng Xuan couldnt bear it, thinking that Consort Tao didnt have a reason to do so.
What about the poison on your hairpin? Feng Xuan asked patiently. This was to clear the crime of poisoning for Consort Tao.
I dont know? Consort Tao carefully looked at Feng Xia Qi as if she was afraid.
Seeing Consort Tao like this, it made Feng Xuan remember, perhaps Consort Tao might be framed and most likely the one to frame her was his fourth son. His fourth sons means and schemes was amongst the best. A few days ago, didnt he send assassins to kill Consort Tao? Was his fourth son unwilling and wanted to kill Consort Tao?
Feng Xia Qi saw Feng Xuan and Consort Taos expressions. The others saw it too but they had no feelings.
Find out what exactly happened! Not only daring to poison Lan manors Old Madame but dared to frame Consort Tao! Feng Xuan said to the guard and left with Consort Tao which meant this was the end of the matter.
After the madames and youngdies have left, Lan You Nian went over to the Old Madameying there, Tsk, why are you so disobedient? Lan You Nians voice was soft as cotton. Entering the years, it exuded a coldness like the winters ice that was shaped into a thin and stunning de that lightly shed the neck, giving a sharp pain from tearing apart the arteries, frightening the Old Madame who pretended to be unconscious awake.
You, what do you want to do? Old Madame asked fearfully and looked towards Lan Jian Jun for help but Lan Jian Jun waspletely hurt by Old Madames actions.
Lan Qu, from now on, Lan manors Old Madame has be insane. Make sure to have people watch over her! With Lan You Nians words, she had Lan Qu them feed Old Madame a poison which would make her insane. Since then, everyone knew Lan manors old madame has be crazy, triggered by the poison that day. More people tossed this at Consort Tao, believing this was all done by Consort Tao.
Chapter 229 - 04 Rescuing Gui Si
04 Rescuing Gui Si
Xuan, I will be leaving the capital for a few days! Lan You Nian said to Feng Yi Xuan sitting in Zhen Wei Pavilion, as well as Feng Xia Qi and the others.
Feng Yi Xuans face turned cold but knew Nian Nian must have her own resolve. Thus, he only looked at Lan You Nian. He would never stop Nian Nian from doing anything. What he wanted was to protect her, giving her a sky she could soar through.
It was Gui San who dissolved everyones confusion, Recently, Ive lost contact with Gui Si, so little junior sister is going to investigate! With Gui Sis abilities, as well as Wu Qing Pavilions forces, Gui Si was still able to disappear without a trace. Thus, Gui San and the others were extremely worried. Lan You Nian couldnt sit still so she prepared to take a look at the ces Gui Si frequented.
Ill go with you! Feng Yi Xuan dered. He didnt want to separate from Nian Nian at all. There is likely some danger wherever Nian Nian is going; hence, Feng Yi Xuan is even more unwilling to allow Lan You Nian to go alone.
Lan You Nian knew it would be like this, but she didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to follow her whenever she has a problem. Feng Yi Xuan had his own pride. If he were to follow behind her everyday, she would really feel guilty. It seems from the very start, Feng Yi Xuan would amodate her.
Xuan, Ill be fine going alone. I know youve been recently training Ming army. Fourth brothers disappearance is at Qing Hui Town. Its not far from the capital. If I donte back in three days, you can go then, alright? Lan You Nian negotiated. Qing Hui Town was a rtively wealthy town, so Lan You Nian let fourth brother go there to grow Wu Qing Pavilions forces there. From the capital to Qing Hui town, it only needed half a day on horseback.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian grievously but Lan You Nian didnt give in. She did this not only because Ming army was currently training, but because it was restless in the capital. They havent discovered anything about this Consort Tao upon investigation. Lan You Nian wasnt reassured. If Feng Yi Xuan was in the capital, she could rest easy. She believed in this mans abilities.
Seeing Lan You Nian unwilling expression, Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nian wouldnt agree. He most feared Nian Nian being unhappy. Feng Yi Xuan was well aware of the hidden malignant tumor in the capital. Hence, they can only temporarily separate. Thinking about not seeing Nian Nian for three who days, Feng Yi Xuans air became cold as winter, making the entire roomful of people shoot their nces at Lan You Nian, letting Lan You Nian to handle her man. Casually letting out cold air was really frightening alright?
Lan You Nian could see everyones protestation. Her delicate hand on the table grasped Feng Yi Xuans big hands. Sure enough, Feng Yi Xuans air became much gentler, astonishing the others, feeling Feng Yi Xuan really changed his face so fast.
This Consort Tao, I keep feeling something very familiar about her! Lan You Nian once again divulged her feeling, but she couldnt figure out when she has ever seen such a woman. Consort Taos features were very beautiful, so she shouldnt easily forget.
I too feel like this Consort Tao knows Nianer; otherwise, she wouldnt oppose Nianer like that. Theres someone behind this Consort Tao; otherwise, with that womans intelligence, she wouldnt be able to think of such a scheme! Feng Xia Qi analyzed. Recently hes suffered losses several times at the hands of that Consort Tao. Imperial Father now had a great hostility towards him.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt bother with other peoples gaze as he carried Lan You Nian from her seat to sit on his thighs, saying, Consort Taos head eunuch is a fake eunuch! Feng Yi Xuans observations were always more detailed than others, even more venomous. Ordinary people couldnt hide from his eyes.
What? everyone were shocked. For a pce consort to have a fake eunuch by her side, it wasnt something to joke about. This Consort Taos courage wasnt of an ordinary size. If this was discovered, it was a crime subjected to death by dismemberment.
Should we report this to His Majesty? Lan Mo Xian asked. His Majesty was somewhat dissatisfied with the Crown Prince, this can be seen from some affairs during court. As a friend, Lan Mo Xian was quite worried.
Yeah, if His Majesty were to know Consort Tao keeps a fake eunuch by her side, this Consort is finished! He Chu Yang echoed. This Consort Tao wanted to frame little sister Nianer. Even grandfather disliked her and even submitted a memorial to His Majesty several times asking to cancel Consort Taos status of consort. Unfortunately, His Majesty kept ignoring them.
Feng Xia Qi considered it and asked his younger brother, AXuan, what do you think? His younger brother didnt expose this the moment he noticed this, so he likely had his own n. Though everyone thought AXuan to be a reckless brute, they didnt know that he couldnt evenpare to AXuans resourcefulness.
Even if we let Imperial Father to know that was a fake eunuch, Consort Tao will have an excuse to dodge it! Feng Yi Xuan said. Hearing this, they nodded in agreement. In the several confrontations, they can tell Consort Tao was shrewd. Most importantly, His Majesty trusted Consort Tao very much. This meant that no matter what they say, His Majesty will believe them to be framing her. At that time, maybe theyd have tried to steal the chicken but only ended up losing all the rice.
Therefore, we must have His Majesty see it and hear it personally. Let him know he wears a green hat! Lan You Nian took over Feng Yi Xuans words. In between, there was some retaliating intentions. Who let Lan You Nian knows Feng Yi Xuan loathed the Emperor during his childhood. If he wasnt Feng Yi Xuans father, she will definitely kill him to vent Feng Yi Xuans anger. But perhaps this was much better.
Nianer, thats too cruel! He Chu Yang and Lan Mo Xian said with sympathy. After all, it was the Emperor of an empire. If he knew his beloved consort made him wear a green hat, he might be angered to death. At that time, Feng empire will be in chaos.
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi said in unison. They had no expectations towards their Imperial Father. Lan You Nians method was very good outlet for their anger. Hence, they were in agreement. Seeing as the two of them already agreed, there wasnt much else to say. After all, those sitting here werent any good samaritan!
After eating lunch at Zhen Wei Pavilion, Lan You Nian directly changed into a mans disguise and left the capital of Gui San. Meanwhile, Feng Yi Xuan stood at the city gates of the capital for a long time before returning to his manor. Because Nian Nian wasnt here any longer, there was no sense in returning to the manor. Hence, Feng Yi Xuan turned around and went back to the military encampment.
When Lan You Nian and Gui San arrived at Qing Hui Town, it happened to be in the evening. The two of them directly went to a tavern under Wu Qing Pavilion.
When the steward saw Gui San and the masked Lan You Nian, he immediately knelt in greeting, Master, third young master! The steward was a little afraid inside. He didnt expect fourth young master to go missing in Qing Gui Town and this to have startled the master.
Lan You Nian and Gui San walked into the parlor on the third floor. Lan You Nian sat down asking, Whats happened? The maism of the low voice was filled with a sovereign air. The steward instantly copsed on his knees, not because the steward feared death but this matter was his responsibility/.
Ever since Fourth young master came to Qing Hui Town, hes been growing the business. There hasnt been any problems. But just as everything was going well, fourth young master went out and never came back. Only when this subordinate anxiously sent out people to search did I realize fourth master was missing. Hence, I reported this to headquarters! The steward exined the events in an organized manner.
Hearing this, Lan You Nian was a little anxious inside. Fourth brother wasnt another person but her family, her older brother. If something has happened to fourth brother, Lan You Nian felt shell never rest easy her whole life.
Has fourth young master encountered anything in Qing Hui Town, or perhaps a person? Say everything in detail! Lan You Nian said coldly. They could only search for a trail from these clues.
The steward carefully recalled everything as he started to sweat, then he suddenly eximed, There was one time fourth young master got into a bicker with a woman. But afterwards for a long time, there wasnt sight of that woman. But after that, theres been something off with fourth young master. I really cant say what.
A woman? Gui San snapped open his fan, Could it be Gui Sis peach blossom debt?
You think hes you? Lan You Nian looked at Gui San in disdain. Fourth brother was usually very aloof. Usually woman wont dare provoke him. But this time Lan You Nian really guessed incorrectly. This time it really was Gui Sis peach blossom debt.
Find out where this woman has been seen, where is she from, and where she is now! Lan You Nian ordered. The steward immediately ran out to start searching for news. Wu Qing Pavilions intelligence was spread over every corner. While one cant boast its meticulousness, it was considered a first ss intelligence organization.
On the second morning, Lan You Nian received the news the steward handed over and looked it over. On there it said the one who bickered with Gui Si was this countys county officials daughter. This woman had an attractive face and has been the representative of defiance. That day when she saw Gui Si, she fell in love on first sight and had Gui Si be their familys live-in son-inw. With Gui Sis temper, how could he agree? However, Gui Si wasnt someone who killed innocent people; thus the bickering happened.
Third brother, want to go to the county office to take a look? Lan You Nian said to Gui San who just woke up. Though Gui San didnt say anything, Lan You Nian can see Gui Sans worry. Eldest brother and the others letters were all filled with worry for fourth brother. So Lan You Nian wanted to rescue fourth brother without waiting a moment. The ce where fourth brother went missing, that woman also made an appearance.
Lets go. I want to see which female tiger wanted to kidnap Gui Si! Gui San said curiously. With Gui Sis martial arts, though hes been frequently injured while wandering the pugilistic world, but to have been kidnapped by such a woman, it was damaging to his brilliance!
With this, the two flew off towards the county office, but when they searched around, they still havent discovered any traces of Gui Si, nor did they see that so called youngdy of the county office. Lan You Nian saw a servant girl and dragged her over and pressed her dagger against that servant girls neck, her voice sinister as she demanded, Wheres your youngdy!
I... That servant girl shuddered in fright. She couldnt see the looks of the person behind her but this voice was enough to make the servant girl afraid.
Speak! Lan You Nian made a slice on the servant girls neck. Very soon, blood flowed out from the servant girls neck.
Young miss is in the prison of the county office. Its the prison where criminals are held! The servant said hastily.
Lan You Nian knocked the servant girl unconscious with a strike. She shared a look with Gui San and saw the rage in each others eyes. They dared to imprison Gui Si there. This woman deserved to die!
Chapter 230 - 05 Gui Si’s Rotten Peach Blossom
05 Gui Sis Rotten Peach Blossom
The brittle, crude prison cell entered into Lan You Nian and Gui Sans eyes. The guards guarding the prison have already been knocked unconscious by Gui Sans poison. Fortunately, it was merely a small prison cell of a little town. Hence, it was simple to deal with those guards.
The two sprinted,ing directly to the most inner cell where the worst felons were kept. Before they approached, they were able to hear the soundsing from inside.
A woman dressed in a red dress held a whip that was still hung with fresh blood. Gui Si who was tied to the rack was extremely tousled. The cold face was much more wan and sallow. Though his body was covered with whip wounds, they werent life-threatening, merely appearing grave.
Do you agree or not? The woman stroked Gui Sis face, her face carrying infatuation. A couple days ago, it wasnt the first time she saw Gui Si. She saw Gui Si a few years ago. At that time, it was the first time she came to the capital to sight see and was bullied. When she was crying desperately and hopelessly, Gui Si appeared like a heavenly god before her eyes, beating off those local gangsters who bullied her, and saved her.
The woman will never forget Gui Sis face. Just as she was about to offer her thanks, Gui San already left. No matter how she searched, she couldnt find him! She almost believed it to be a dream, yet she didnt expect shed meet him once again in her own family town. However, he didnt recognize her, so she deliberately angered Gui Si, hoping hed notice her. Yet, even so, he still didnt have her in his eyes.
But that was fine. She was no longer the weak female from few years past. She had her own means. Look, wasnt this man on her hands now?
Qi Xiao Die, you are really shameless! Gui Si endured the pain in his body and railed in anger at the woman. Hes traveled extensively for many years yet he has never met such a shameless woman, to do such things in order to obtain him.
sh! The whip continued tosh at Gui Sis chest, adding another mark onto the chest littered with whip marks. Gui Si didnt even grunt as he considered how he was going to escape. To continue like this wasnt a method. Gui Si knew if he pretended to agree, it was doable, but taking a look at Qi Xiao Die, Gui Si only felt disgusted, unwilling to even deliberately get close to her.
Im shameless? If Im shameless, why did you save me all those years ago? If you didnt save me, why would I remain unmarried for all these years? Its all to find you! Qi Xiao Die whipped Gui Si in madness, venting the love and pain in her heart. In reality, Qi Xiao Die didnt really love Gui Si. She merely wanted to obtain him.
Gui Si looked at Qi Xiao Die who was like a crazy person and endured his pain as he sneered, If I knew you were such a poisonous woman, how would I have been so blind to save you all those years ago? I should have let you die! That year, he saw that pitiful little girl being bullied and thought of his little junior sister. It was in a moment of soft-heartedness that he saved her, yet he didnt expect he saved a scourge for himself.
Haha, its a pity that its toote! Qi Xiao Die bellowed inughter and took out a package of medicinal powder, You wont agree to marry me, right? Then Ill make you take me. I want to have your child. Lets see if you will marry me then.
Gui Si was made speechless by such a shameless Qi Xiao Die. He felt he was truly unlucky to encounter this scourge. How can he have met such a madwoman? Though he didnt care about having sexual rtionship with a woman, but if it was this woman, Gui Si feared hed be too afraid to touch another woman again.
Little junior sister, why does this world have such a shameless woman? Shes even more open than those women from the brothels. Look at her figure and her face, even if shes tossed into a brothel, its likely shell frighten the customers away! Gui San appeared in the prison, assessing Qi Xiao Die and seemingly having contaminated his eyes as he condemned.
Lan You Nian followed Gui San into the cell and inspected Gui Si, immediately letting Gui Si down and fed him a medicinal pill. From the moment she came in, she noticed Gui Sis internal energy was sealed. Having swallowed the pill, Gui Si circted his internal energy and noticed it has returned.
Fourth brother, though your peach blossom hase, this peach blossom is a little too ferocious isnt it? Lan You Nian sighed in relief when she saw Gui Si was in fine health and then teased him. Usually Gui Si was the most aloof amongst them, which canpete with Feng Yi Xuan.
Gui San was interested as he heard this, pointing at Qi Xiao Die with his fan, This can be counted as peach blossom? Is there such an ugly peach blossom? Gui Si, do you still possess your innocence? Could you have been taken forcefully? So pitiful, so pitiful!
Scram! Gui Si roared at Gui San angrily and looked at Qi Xiao Die who had her acupuncture pressed, his expressionplicated. Gui Si would never have imagined his rare moment of good intentions would turn out like this. Sure enough, women were really frightening.
Fourth brother, how are you going to deal with this? Lan You Nian nced at the motionless Qi Xiao Die. This was Gui Sis business. It was best for Gui Si to deal with it himself. Gui Si had suffered such humiliation and had taken such a fall, itd be hardly justifiable if he didnt vent his anger.
Gui Si shot a look at Lan You Nian. Lan You Nian smiled as she handed her dagger to Gui Si. The familial love of many years allowed them not only to care for one another but they understood one another. Hence, Lan You Nian knew what Gui Si wanted to do.
Gui Si took the dagger and disfigured Qi Xiao Dies face, cutting off her tongue, snapped the hamstrings in her hands and dug out her eyes. It can be said from then on, Qi Xiao Die was better off dying.
Eh, such a fine woman was made into this by you, so cruel! Gui San looked at Qi Xiao Die who couldnt utter a sound as she rolled around on the ground, smiling as he spoke, as if he was looking at something interesting.
If you like, you can take to be tender and sympathetic! Gui Si was supported by Lan You Nian as they departed from the prison cell. Gui San took a nce at the no longer discernible woman on the ground and followed the other two. All along, hes only loved beauties. Such a woman was not to his taste.
Eh, I say Gui Si, you are our Wu Qing Pavilions fourth master. I have never seen you in such difficulty. What did that woman do to make you like this? Gui San asked curiously.
Gui Si remembered the happenings and only felt embarrassed. He didnt n on telling Gui San but seeing little junior sister was curious too, Gui Si was helpless. Though he usually didnt like tough or talk, he adored his little junior sister like his own true sister.
I was schemed against by that woman when I entered a restaurant in the town. Whether it was the food or fragrance, it was all poisoned. I was able to dodge one but wasnt able to dodge it all and so I fell into her trap. The poison she ced on me was very powerful and so I fell for it! Gui Si said angrily. He was Medical Valleys disciple, yet he was poisoned. Gui Si felt truly embarrassed.
What kind of poison will you fall for? Gui San was surprised. Though Gui Si didnt learn much medicinal knowledge, it was enough to defend himself. Amongst the brothers, Gui Yis medical skills were the best.
Gui Si seriously considered it and said, It must be the new poison that appeared in the pugilistic world. I have never seen it before. It looks like there is a person who is highly mastered in poison appearing in the pugilistic world! Gui Si looked at Lan You Nian worriedly. They werent afraid, only feared some mishap would happen to little junior sister. Little junior sisters body was at the end of its road.
The forces in the pugilistic world has always been rising and falling. Just have Wu Qing Pavilion pay some attention to it! Lan You Nian helped Gui Si into his room. She walked out to allow Gui San to bandage Gui Sis wounds. Though they were close like family, there was still some consideration needed to be given to the difference between men and women.
After Gui San bandaged up Gui Si, it was alreadyte in the evening. When the two saw Lan You Nian holding her luggage, they unconsciously asked, Returning to the capital?
Lan You Nian nodded. She knew Feng Yi Xuan must be waiting for her in the capital. It looked like she was more and more unable to part from Feng Yi Xuan. Hence, she wanted to return to the capital once the matters were taken care of, En, I will leave immediately. Third brother, you stay here for a while to help fourth brother. Fourth brother, you rest well. Your health is the most important!
Its alreadyte. Wont you leave in the morning? Gui San asked worriedly. No matter how powerful or strong Lan You Nian was, in their eyes, she was just little junior sister.
No need, Im leaving now! Lan You Nian rejected.
Let Gui San send you back! Gui Si said. As she was a girl, they couldnt be assured.
Im fine. Third brother, fourth brother, you can rest assured! Lan You Nian giggled. The two knew they couldnt persuade her, for most of the time, Lan You Nian was a stubborn person.
Lan You Nian reminded them of a few things before leaving. Gui San watched the silhouette of Lan You Nians back, Once the girl has grown, they cant be forced to stay. Its only been a day yet she couldnt endure it! Her voice carried an older brothers reluctance and envy towards a little sister. Such a good little junior sister was taken a fancy by that wolf Feng Yi Xuan.
Though I dont want to admit it, Prince Ming is truly a man worth entrusting. Little junior sister will be happy! Gui Si said with a tone of blessing. Their once baby little junior sister finally had a man she loved. Time went by so quickly.
Lan You Nian mounted the white steed and hurried in the direction of the capital. If she returned tonight, shed be able to give Feng Yi Xuan a surprise. Her mood brightened and her riding speed became much quicker, advancing in the night.
Lan You Nian heard the sounds of hooves from not far away and knew there were other people hurrying on the road like her. As the sound of hooves came closer, the same on Lan You Nians lips became bigger and the light in her eyes became brighter.
Feng Yi Xuan reached out an arm and tightly held Lan You Nian, pulling Lan You Nian off her horse and onto the spot in front of him while the other hand flicked the reins, urging his treasured steed Zui Feng, flying like an arrow that shot out from the bow, wherever it passed, dust was raised.
Behind, An Yi and An Er shared a look as they obediently led the matriarchs horse to the capital. As long as the matriarch was present, they would turn transparent in front of their master.
Xuan, why have youe? Lan You Nian was wrapped up in Feng Yi Xuansrge robes, poking out her small head. She didnt expect to encounter Feng Yi Xuan. It looks like he came looking for her. Inside, Lan You Nian felt sweet.
Came to pick you up! Feng Yi Xuan tucked in therge robes, smiling at Lan You Nian who only exposed her big wide eyes, as to not chill her.
Lan You Nian turned to look at the man who appeared even more handsome under the night, asking curiously, How do you know Ille back today? She made thest minute decision toe back tonight. She didnt believe Feng Yi Xuan could predict the future.
Dont know but I wanted to see you! Feng Yi Xuan said honestly. Actually, the day Nian Nian left, he was already prepared to follow on her heels, but considering there were many matters in the capital, he hurried to deal with it. This evening, he prepared toe to Qing Hui Town to give Nian Nian a surprise but didnt expect the two of them thought the exact same thing.
Because of riding the same horse as Nian Nian, the ride on the horse became a lot slower. The two discussed the matters that happened thest two days, mentioning their own experiences, appearing very intimate.
Is everything fine in the capital? Lan You Nian asked, casually.
Consort Tao is pregnant!
Perfect timing!
Imperial brother has been confined!
What?
Chapter 231 - 06 Consort Tao is Pregnant, Feng Xia Qi is Imprisoned
06 Consort Tao is Pregnant, Feng Xia Qi is Imprisoned
The night Lan You Nian left the capital, news traveled out of the imperial pce saying Consort Tao was pregnant!
All these years, Emperor Feng Xuan hasnt had another child nor has there been news traveled out of the pce that a consort was pregnant. Hence, the news of Consort Taos pregnancy divided people into two kinds. Feng Xia Qis faction was worried while some ministers and such people wanted to ingratiate themselves with Consort Tao. His Majestys favor wasnt to be faked. Additionally with Consort Taos pregnancy, who doesnt know of it in Feng empire?
As for Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan when they received the news, they had no reaction. For them, much less that Consort Tao was pregnant, even if Consort Tao gave birth to a prince, there wasnt too much of a threat to them. Besides, there was something huge they held over her. For this Consort Tao to be so fearless, Feng Xia Qi didnt know if he should say this Consort Tao was daring or the support she relied on was too strong.
Emperor Feng Xuan, when he learned of this news, was excited. Not only did he reward many things to Consort Tao, he assigned many imperial physicians to Peach Pce in order to take care of the child in Consort Taos belly.
That night when Feng Xuan rested in Peach Pce, he was very considerate with Consort Tao. This was his first child after so many years, how could he not be happy? Looking at Consort Taos face and thinking of the child in her belly, Feng Xuan was in a good mood. So that night when Consort Tao mentioned holding a banquet the next day and invited some people to feast, the meaning was obvious: to bury the hatchet with the Crown Prince. She was going to be a mother so she wished the Crown Prince would be able to ept her.
Hearing Consort Taos suggestion, Feng Xuan was gratified by Consort Taos consideration and sensibility. He directly passed down a decree to have the Crown Prince and others toe to Peach Pce to congratte Consort Taos joyful news. But Feng Xuans actions made many of the ministers displeased. No matter how favored Consort Tao was, she was a mere consort. If a consort was pregnant, it was good enough to let those matronse into the pce to congratte her. Now even the Crown Prince and other titled princes muste into the pce, wasnt this pping the Crown Prince in the face? Many ministers felt Consort Tao was a seductive woman; otherwise howe after so many years the Emperor looked at women with disinterest, how could he value this Consort Tao so greatly? But no matter how dissatisfied the ministers were, they were helpless. The son of heaven wasnt one who they could defame.
The second day, Feng Xia Qi, Yue Bai Lian, Feng Shao Chu, as well as the matrons of ministerial families entered the pce. As for Feng Yi Xuan, why would he go?
But when Feng Yi Xuan learned the news that Consort Tao miscarried and Feng Xia Qi was confined by Emperor Feng Xuan. Though this news was sealed off, people only learned Consort Tao miscarried by ident, unknowing of the news the Crown Prince was confined.
You didnt ask for the whole story? Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan disbelievingly. Something like this happened, yet he didnt go look for Feng Xia Qi or Bai Lian to ask and directly left the capital?
En! Feng Yi Xuan nodded honestly. When he learned of the news, he merely nced over it before putting it down and came to pick up Nian Nian. As for imperial brothers matters, it can wait till Nian Nian came back to handle it; otherwise, he wont be in the mood.
Uh, thats your imperial brother! Somethings happened to your imperial brother yet you ran out of the capital to pick me up. If Brother Xia Qi were to know, hed be angered to death! Lan You Nian helplessly rubbed her forehead. Why was her man so adorable?
Imperial brother isnt that weak. If this small matter can harm him, theres no need for him to live! Feng Yi Xuans tone was cold. This matter was all due to Feng Xia Qi not handling matters properly and allowed Consort Tao to scheme against him. Besides, Feng Yi Xuan knew Feng Xia Qi wasnt as gentle as he seemed on the outside, so he wasnt worried.
We should hurry back. I fear Bai Lian will be worried! Lan You Nian said, regarding their foot speed as if they were taking a stroll. She didnt have such good mentality as Feng Yi Xuan. Its about time to deal with this Consort Tao. And itd be best if it could take a strike at Feng Xuan at the same time.
Though Feng Yi Xuan wanted to spend time alone with Nian Nian under the moonlight, considering the cold temperature of night will chill Nian Nian, and seeing Nian Nians worry, Feng Yi Xuan mped his thighs on the belly of the horse and speedily returned to the capital.
Once Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan entered the capital, Lan You Nian had Feng Yi Xuan apany her to Crown Prince Manor. Sure enough, upon entering Crown Prince Manor, they saw Yue Bai Lian has yet to sleep as she stood anxiously in the front hall. When she saw Lan You Nian, she seemed to have encountered her pir of support, as if everything will be taken care of if Lan You Nian was there. From their daily interactions, shes already be family and friends with Feng Xia Qi. Now somethings happened to Feng Xia Qi, she was more worried than anyone else.
Nianer! Yue Bai Lian ran over to Lan You Nian and only stopped her footsteps when she saw the dark-faced Prince Ming, and slightly nodded her head, Prince Ming!
Lan You Nian held Yue Bai Lians hand and pulled her over to sit, not sparing a nce to Feng Yi Xuans eyes that were emitting a chilling cold and the hostility towards Yue Bai Lian. From Yue Bai Lians pale lips, Lan You Nian could tell she was extremely worried, so she poured a cup of water as she asked, Whats happened?
Maybe because of thefort of Lan You Nians voice, Yue Bai Lian was much calmer as she took a sip of the water, We went into Peach Pce to congratte Consort Tao on her pregnancy. Over the course of the day, everything was fine but halfway through, as everyone was prepared to go see the peach blossoms in Peach Pce, Consort Tao who was walking beside Xia Qi suddenly fell. From a different angle, it looked like it was Xia Qi who pushed her. In the process, Consort Tao miscarried. In the end, Imperial father came to the pce, dispersed all the idlers and then took Xia Qi into custody. I was then sent back to Crown Prince Manor!
Take a rest. Rest assured, nothing will happen to Brother Xia Qi! Lan You Nian called over a servant girl and had her take Yue Bai Lian to rest; otherwise, Yue Bai Lian will fall over with sickness before something happens to Feng Xia Qi.
Feng Yi Xuan blocked the cold tea that Lan You Nian had at her lips and poured a warm cup of water for her, Where do you want to go? Looking at Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan she temporarily didnt want to go back to rest. He was more than happy to take her anywhere.
Lets go see Brother Xia Qi! Lan You Nian said. Since theyve returned, they must go take a look. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan must know where Feng Xia Qi was imprisoned. Theres no need to doubt because Feng Yi Xuan was this capable.
Feng Yi Xuan sat there motionless, looking at Lan You Nian grievously, I havent seen you for two days. As soon as you came back, you busy about for other people and neglect me! Remembering that Nian Nian hasnt gone back to sleep with him nor has he yet to hug Nian Nians fragrant and soft body, Feng Yi Xuan was extremely dissatisfied.
Youre jealous? Lan You Nian giggled and came over to Feng Yi Xuan to sit on hisp, fiddling with Feng Yi Xuans ck hair, That isnt other people, that is your imperial brother, your family. I shouldnt go look?
For Nian Nian to take the initiative to enter his embrace, Feng Yi Xuan was overjoyed but still grievous, Imperial brother is other people!
Then who isnt other people? Lan You Nian was humored. Why does she feel like Feng Yi Xuan became jealous much easier? He now not only defended against men, a lot of time he even stayed alert against women, really so petty. But then again, wasnt she just as petty?
Im not other people. Nian Nian isnt other people. Other people are other people! Feng Yi Xuan possessively bit down on Lan You Nians neck. Lan You Nian shuddered but the one who was suffering wasnt Lan You Nian but Feng Yi Xuan. He merely took a look at Nian Nians pure white vicle yet it gave rise to his desires. Feng Yi Xuan hurriedly pushed back his desires, picking up Nian Nian and used qinggong to race to the pce. Otherwise, he cant guarantee he wont take Nian Nian back to the manor to battle it out.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian to a pce hall. This was Feng Xia Qis previous pce, where he lived before he had his own residential manor. It had a luxurious atmosphere. It was only unfortunate that there were many guards standing guard outside.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian into the pce hall in a sh. Those guards only believed a gust of wind flew by, unknowing that someone already entered and that person was hugging a woman as he entered.
You guys came! Feng Xia Qi wasnt surprised as he saw the two appear in the pce. ncing at the still icy cold younger brother and the still beautiful as a celestial maid Lan You Nian, his smile became much more genuine.
Looks like you arent anxious at all! Feng Yi Xuan found afortable soft chaise and sat down with Lan You Nian.
Feng Xia Qi looked as the two as if they only came here to y, helplessly saying, Arent there you two? What do I have to fear? My imperial younger brother wont neglect your imperial older brother right?
Xuan really had this n. He came to Qing Hui Town to pick me up! Lan You Nian shot Feng Xia Qi a sympathetic look, the meaning obvious: you were imprisoned yet your younger brother came to pick me up.
What? Feng Xia Qi wailed aggrieved, Sure enough, what younger brother isnt reliable. I want to go back to find Bai Lian!
Haha! Lan You Nian burst into giggles in Feng Yi Xuans arms. Feng Yi Xuan revealed a smile. After, Feng Yi Xuan asked, What happened? You pushed Consort Tao?
I did! Feng Xia Qi didnt deny it, But it was schemed by Consort Tao. When we stood up, Consort Tao came over to my side and I didnt overthink but I didnt expect Consort Tao that slut to shamelessly stroke me with her hand. I was enraged and threw her off and she naturally used my force to fall down, creating the illusion it was I who pushed her. When imperial father heard everyones testimony, I was imprisoned here!
Lan You Nian was stunned by Feng Xia Qis words. She didnt expect this Consort Tao to dally with Feng Xia Qi. Though there was a reason, it was still shocking. Sleeping the old man and then going to dally with the son, Lan You Nian felt Feng Xuan wore a big green had on his head.
It looks like we must get rid of Consort Tao as fast as possible. In order to protect your innocence! Lan You Nian joked yfully.
En! Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi nodded. Theyve already made preparations. It would only take an instant to deal with Consort Tao but they felt Lan You Nians idea was pretty good. They would not only take care of Consort Tao, it would be a blow to imperial father. That man didnt deserve their respect.
Chapter 232 - 07 The Downfall of Consort Tao
07 The Downfall of Consort Tao
In the imperial pce, Feng Xuan was currently sitting there. Sitting by him was an elderly man.
The elder was once the department head of the Imperial Physician Department; his medical skills were superb. Ten years ago, he suddenly resigned from his official position to be a barefoot doctor (T/N: sort of like frence doctors) traveling the pugilistic world. But every few years, he would return to examine Feng Xuans health. This time, he passed by the capital and came to specially examine Feng Xuan.
It has been three years since this emperor has seen Imperial Physician Lin! Feng Xuan hasnt changed his address of the elderly man. This Imperial Physician Lin has been following him since he was still a prince. The people by his side has lessened and Feng Xuan reminiscence his younger years even more. Just like how he was reminiscing Jing shi when he looked at Consort Tao.
Imperial Physician Lin was now a barefoot doctor wandering in the pugilistic world, treating those of the poor who needed medical treatment. Some time ago, there was a household in the capital who asked for him to treat the master of that house and so Imperial Physical Lin came. Since he came to the capital, naturally he entered the pce to ask for a checkup. What Imperial Physician Lin didnt know that hising to the pce was all nned by someone, even hising to the pce for a checkup was nned by someone else.
Yes, thismoner has been traveling all over Feng empire for three years! Imperial Physician Lin sighed with feeling. In his middle age, he was a physician for the prince manor. After the prince became the Emperor, he rose to be an imperial physician.
Feng Xuan sat there reminiscing those days that were filled with bumps but he had Jing shi apanying him. Feng Xuan remembered that no matter howte he came back home from his duties, Jing shi always sat in the front hall waiting for his return. Later, when was it that no one waited in the night for him to return home? It seems to be when he married in several side consorts. At that time, there were more women in the manor, for rivalry for favor, and with Jing shis simple and stubborn temper, they gradually drifted apart.
This emperors body is getting worse year after year. This emperor originally nned to send people to receive you into the pce. A consort in this emperors pce miscarried. Imperial Physician Lin go take a look if she has harmed her body! Feng Xuan said smiling. As for Consort Taos miscarriage, Feng Xuan felt guilty and heartache. AS for that unfilial son, Feng Xia Qi, his heart really gave rise to an urge to kill, but remembering his fourth sons abilities as well as Jing shi, Feng Xuan only put him under house arrest. If he acknowledged his wrongdoings, everything was fine. But if he refused to admit his wrongs and continued to make things difficult for his Imperial Fathers consort, it was no longer necessary for him to sit on the position of Crown Prince!
Feng Xuan has sat on the throne of Emperor for many years and is already used to others bowing down to him. How can he tolerate others disobeying him time and again? It was enough with Feng Yi Xuan. Because of guilt, he tolerated it for so long. Now Feng Xia Qi was the same, Feng Xuan was still angered, even having the thought of abolishing the Crown Prince.
Hearing the Emperors words, Imperial Physician Lin was more or less shocked as aplicated expression overtook his face as he looked at the Emperor. His mouth opened to say something but didnt know what to say. In his life of practicing medicine, his medical ethics were good and couldnt conceal anything. But this matter seemed to involve too many things. Imperial Physician Lin didnt know how to say it.
Feng Xuan saw Imperial Physician Lins facial expression and knew the imperial physician Lin must have something he couldnt say. Feng Xuan trusted Imperial Physician. Suddenly, he thought of if theres a problem with his body, Feng Xuan anxiously asked, Is there a problem with this emperors body? Imperial Physician Lin, speak what is on your mind. This emperor is old. It is normal for there to have some ailments.
Imperial Physician Lin considered it for a moment and decided to say it. He was a healer and could not do such a thing as deceiving. Imperial Physician Lin knelt, Does Your Majesty remember Your Majesty being poisoned six years ago? Thismoner once cured Your Majesty of the poison!
Yes, if it wasnt for Imperial Physician you, this one doesnt know if I would be able to sit here today! Feng Xuan sighed with feeling. Years ago, he was poisoned. When his life hung on a thread, it was his fourth son who found the Imperial Physician Lin from outside toe into the pce to prescribe medicine for him. Hence, he was safe and sound.
Imperial Physician Lin knocked his forehead on the ground, Years ago, thismoner left after curing Your Majesty of the poison; thus, Your Majesty wasnt aware that the poison from many years ago already damaged Your Majestys body. Though it does affect Your Majesty having intimate rtions, its impossible for Your Majesty to have children!
Feng Xuan thought he misheard something. How was it impossible? If he couldnt have children, where did Consort Taos childe from? The imperial doctor clearly examined that she was pregnant. The imperial doctor couldnt lie, unless...
Imperial physician Lin, are you certain? Feng Xuan was unwilling to give in as he asked this. He didnt couldnt believe he, the Emperor of an empire, was deceived, and to be deceived by a woman, he was made to wear a green hat and even punished his own son for that slut, his and Jing shis son. Feng Xuan felt his heart turn cold thinking of this.
Imperial Physician Lins voice was firm, Thismoner speaks the truth at the risk of beheading!
Feng Xuan was aware, he was certain of Imperial Physician Lins medical skills as well as of his character, but he wanted to ask one more time to be certain. When has he encountered such betrayal. This to any man was the greatest shame, much less the Emperor of an empire?
This emperor knows. Imperial Physician Lin may withdraw. This emperor does not wish for a second person to know of this matter! It wasnt that Feng Xuan hasnt thought of doing away with the witness but this person was Imperial Physician Lin. He was once his right hand man, having saved his life several times. This Imperial Physician Lin wasnt a talkative person. Thus, Feng Xuan let Imperial Physician Lin go.
Imperial Physician Lin kowtowed and left. His body was drenched with cold sweat. If it wasnt that he couldnt do a thing such as lying, he wouldnt dare so much to admit this out loud. This Imperial pce was indeed hidden with filth. It was the barefoot doctors who were the most leisurely.
Feng Xuan was enraged. In this moment, he hated he couldnt immediately rip Consort Tao to shreds. Feng Xuan furiously led guards over to Peach Pce. Before Feng Xuan could enter Peach Pce, he heard Eunuch Lu report Prince Ming and Miss Lan as well as the Crown Princesss approach.
Feng Xuan looked up to see the three of them leisurely trail towards Peach Pce. Feng Yi Xuan was dressed in an exquisitely made ck robe. One seemed to be able to feel the cold aura emanating from him from far away, but when he lowered his eyes to look at the girl beside him, his gaze filled with warmth and adoration.
Lan You Nian wore a white dress, carrying a celestial air about her as she stood beside Feng Yi Xuan. No feature on her face was not exquisite. Her figure was slim but graceful. If she was willing, she would probably be able to spirit away all the hearts and souls of the men in the world.
Yue Bai Lian stood beside Lan You Nian. She was dressed in a rose red pce gown of the Crown Princess which made Yue Bai Lian appear even more beautiful and dignified. She wore a smile appropriate for a Crown Princess, with a haughtiness that made her unattainable. Even her every action and step followed the rules, a model Crown Princess.
The three approached Feng Xuan and greeted him ceremoniously. Feng Yi Xuan directly said, Imperial brother hasnte back since entering the pce the other day. This prince came to bring imperial brother back!
I heard Consort Tao miscarried. This humble girl specially came to call on Consort Tao! Lan You Nian added on after Feng Yi Xuans words, her tone sincere and carried a hint of apology. Her behavior made the vein tick on Feng Xuans forehead. Remembering how he treated his fourth son, he felt even more distasteful of himself.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes were filled withughter. Even Bai Lians eyes restrained her humor painfully. Who was it that dragged them over to the pce to see some drama of the year. Yet before the drama could start, she started the act.
Feng Yi Xuan thought of the fourth son who was still confined and felt guilty as he hastily said to Eunuch Lu, Let the Crown Prince out! Hearing this, Eunuch Lu joyously hurried to the pce where the Crown Prince was imprisoned, as if afraid His Majesty will regret it.
They stood waiting outside Peach Pce. After a while, they saw Feng Xia Qi leisurely walking over. When he saw Feng Xuan, his eyes shed with ridicule but it was concealed well by Feng Xia Qi. Feng Xia Qi paid his respects as he said with much self-me, Imperial father, subject son acknowledges his wrongdoings. I ask imperial father to witness as I make amends to Consort Tao!
Feng Yi Xuan and the other twos eyes twitched. Herees another person who spoke utter nonsense with his eyes wide open and his acting skills were even more real than Lan You Nians. Lan You Nian privately gave Feng Xia Qi a thumbs up. Feng Xia Qi lowered his head, a smile on his lips.
Feng Xuan looked at the fourth son who was filled with apology and remorse, his heart bing sour. He hated he couldnt tell his fourth son, it was good that slut had miscarried, it would have been better to kill that slut! But Feng Xuan couldnt say it. He couldnt afford such humiliation, especially in front of his sons wives.
No need. You can leave. This one will go tofort Consort Tao! Feng Xuan pretended to be calm as he said this but his heart was nearly mad with his burning fury.
The four peoples hearts were like mirrors but they came to see a show, so why would they leave so easily? Feng Xia Qi suddenly fell to his knees, Imperial father, do you not believe subject son? Subject son is sincerely remorseful, asking imperial father to grant my wish! Consort Tao was pregnant with imperial fathers child. Though it wasnt subject son who pushed Consort Tao, this subject son cant excuse subject sons prejudice against Consort Tao. Hence, today, subject son wont put Imperial father in an awkward position!
Lan You Nians hand holding Feng Yi Xuans was startling to shake, not for any other reason other than from holding back herughter. She believed if Feng Xia Qi was in the modern world, he would certainly obtain an Oscar. Look at how sincere and guilty he was, look at the slightly red eyes, it was so much more brilliant than those pretentious consorts in the pce.
Imperial father, lord husband is sincerely remorseful, please ask imperial father to grant his wish! Yue Bai Lian knelt beside Feng Xia Qi but the shared look between the two was filled with the desire to see the drama.
Feng Xuan looked at his fourth son, feeling fear for having the thought of abolishing the Crown Prince for that slut. Hearing his fourth sons words, Feng Xuan was suspicious. His fourth son said he didnt push that slut but that slut really did miscarry. Could that slut have ndered the Crown Prince. In the past, Feng Xuan would not have thought so but the more Feng Xuan thought about it, the more it became believable to him. That slut probably wanted him to abolish the Crown Prince and then let the bastard the slut gave birth to in the future to inherit the throne.
Alright, then go together with this emperor! Feng Xuan feared wont be able to deal with Consort Tao today. Later, he must find a reason to deal with Consort Tao. Such a slut who tainted his royal prestige cant be allowed to live.
The four of them entered Peach Pce without seeing Consort Taoing out to wee them. A pce maid knelt on the ground saying, Your Majesty, the consorts body is frail from miscarriage. Shes still recuperating in the pce! The pce maid obeyed the consorts instructions to make His Majesty pity the consort even more but Feng Xuan became even angrier hearing this. That slut bore another persons child yet she dared to act pitiful!
Walking into the pce, he saw Consort Taoying there with a pale face. When she saw Feng Xuan, she seemed to weep without tears, Your Majesty...this lowly concubine cant pay my respects to Your Majesty, asking Your Majestys forgiveness! Then, she coughed a few times, appearing very pitiful, but the man who once took pity on her no longer had any feelings of pity but a desire to kill her.
Consort Tao waited a long before without receiving the Emperors constion. Consort Tao raised her head to look at the Emperor and saw the Emperors gaze was ice cold as they stared at her. Consort Taos heart jumped, uncertain what happened, but she suddenly saw the four people following behind, her intuition told her it was caused by the four of them. Remembering her masters instructions, Consort Taos weeping became even more fierce.
Crown Prince? Consort Tao pointed at Feng Xia Qi as she cried in distress, You leave! You killed my child. Do you want toe here to harm me ? That was an unborn child. What has it done to you? Why did Crown Prince cruelly kill your little brother?
Feng Xuans rage soared to its height. This slut really dared! She bore another mans child yet she still dared to nder the Crown Prince. She really was daring!
Feng Xia Qi greeted her ceremoniously as he said guiltily, This crown prince apologizes for once making things difficult for Consort Tao but ask Consort Tao to believe that it wasnt this crown prince who pushed the consort. Consort Tao was pregnant with imperial fathers child, so how could this crown prince cruelly treat his blood brother like that?
Feng Xia Qi emphasized the words blood brother which enraged Feng Xuan even more.
You, Crown Prince is saying I wrongfully med you? Consort Tao snapped angrily and looked at Feng Xuan, Your Majesty, you must give me justice. No matter how the Crown Prince treats this concubine, this concubine would have noints but that is your child!
One time after another reminding him that it was his child, Feng Xuan couldnt endure it any longer as he yanked the Consort Tao on the bed onto the floor, a p striking Consort Taos face as he pointed at her, roaring, You slut, under these circumstances you still want to nder the Crown Prince?
Feng Yi Xuan and the other threes brows raised, getting into the mode for watching a drama. However, the four of them still pretended to be confused as they looked at Feng Xuan, when in actuality, the four of them were already scoffing inside...
Your Majesty! Consort Tao disbelievingly cupped her cheek, not understanding whats wrong with His Majesty. When she saw the four people there watching the drama, the was certain they must have said something to His Majesty. Consort Tao tugged Feng Xuans sleeve, Your Majesty, what has this concubine done to make you so angry? Does Your Majesty not know what the Crown Prince has done? Why...
Before Consort Tao can finish speaking, Feng Xuan kicked her away. He was already angered by Consort Tao to the point he no longer remembered that he already decided to conceal the matter. He directly roared, You slut, you fooled around with another man yet you dare to cry. You really think this emperor is a fool?
Phenomenal! Lan You Nian and the other three praised inwardly in unision. Instead of being angered that their imperial father was made to wear a green hat, Feng Yi Xuan and Feng Xia Qi only found it to be humorous. For neglecting his son for such a woman, this Imperial father deserved it.
Consort Taos heart started. She naturally knew this child wasnt His Majestys but Consort Tao didnt expect the Emperor to know of it. Consort Taos entire body trembled as she hugged Emperor Feng Xuans thigh, weeping, Your Majesty, you cant wrongfully me this concubine. That is your child! You cant listen to others instigations. The child has already passed away. Does Your Majesty want to hurt this concubines heart like this? Consort Tao was very afraid but remembering the child was already dead, who can find out who was the childs father?
Ha! Feng Xuanughed from anger by this Consort Tao who continued to deny her wrongdoings and squeezed Consort Taos face demanding, This emperor was once poisoned. Ever since then, I wont be able to have children. You say, where did your childe from? Who is the adulterer!
Consort Taos entire body copsed onto the ground. She knew she was finished. What glory and wealth were all gone. But she was so unwilling! She hasnt sought her revenge. She still had many things to do. Right, master wont disregard her. Consort Taoforted herself with this.
Feng Xuan demanded a few more times but Consort Tao refused to open her mouth. Feng Xuan angrily snapped, Consort Taomitted debauchery in the pce, gift her with a cup of poison wine! Finished, he departed from Peach Pce...
Chapter 233 - 08 Consort Tao’s Real Face
08 Consort Taos Real Face
Because of Feng Xuans departure, only Feng Yi Xuan and the other three people remained in the pce hall, as well as Consort Tao who was sprawled on the ground.
The four each took a seat. Lan You Nian hugged Feng Yi Xuans neck, asking in a spoiled tone, Xuan, have you vented your anger? Previously, Lan You Nian had a favorable opinion of Feng Xuan, this elder, but thinking of Feng Yi Xuans sufferings, Lan You Nian took delight in Feng Xuans pain.
Nian Nian did this for me? Feng Yi Xuans eyes glowed as he gazed at Lan You Nian. He knew of Nian Nians love in watching dramas. Hence, he didnt think too much when Nian Nian expressed the desire to enter the pce, even if the object of the drama she wanted to watch as his Imperial Father. For Feng Yi Xuan, this was all meaningless, as long as it makes Nian Nian happy. Yet, Feng Yi Xuan didnt expect to do all this for him. Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart filled with feelings of joy, hating he couldnt swallow the girl in his arms up to express his feelings.
En! Lan You Nian nodded her small head and smiled as she said, Maybe you dont care anymore but Nian Nian will help you take everything back! Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan were simrly protective of their own people. Hence, towards Feng Xuan, Lan You Nian long had the desire to teach him a lesson. In Lan You Nians heart, if you gave Feng Yi Xuan a hard time, then you dont even need to think about living!
With Nian Nian venting for me, I am very happy! Feng Yi Xuan just couldnt help himself as he pecked Lan You Nians lips, a smile blooming on his face. The doting smile he wore made others who saw it feel as if they were floating on clouds, feeling his entire body being shrouded by a warm light, an indecipherable warmth andfort.
Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian shared a smile. As the two of them held hands, they felt fulfilled. Wasnt it their hope that the two of them could love each other? As for them, werent they quite happy as well?
Lan You Nian got down from Feng Yi Xuansp and came over to Consort Tao. Lan You Nians pure white scallion fingers thoroughly outlined Consort Taos stunning face, the delicate gesture was like treating a cherished person or thing, but Consort Tao felt as if her entire body was immersed in ice, even her breathing became short.
Seeing Consort Taos fearful expression, the smile on Lan You Nians lips widened, making her face turn into a cold beauty, emitting a deadly devilish charm. Every smile was capable of capturing ones heart and freezing to the extreme.
Leaning into Consort Taos ear, Lan You Nians breath puffed on Consort Taos cheek but the words she spoke made Consort Tao seem like she lost her soul.
My beloved sister Lan Ya, its been so long! Lan You Nians voice wasnt loud but it was enough for the others to hear. From the start, Lan You Nian felt this Consort Tao gave her a familiar feelings. The hatred Consort Tao leeked out made Lan You Nian especially vignt. Lan You Nian has been investigating and pondering on it but didnte up with anything, until that day she saw Consort Tao and Old Madames chatting, did she suddenly realize. Because this Consort Taos every behavior and gesture, despite disguising herself very well, it could not erase Lan Yas mannerisms.
When Lan You Nian returned to Feng Yi Xuans side, Feng Yi Xuan took out a handkerchief in displeasure as he wiped Lan You Nians fingers and sternly scolded Lan You Nian, You are forbidden from touching other people!
Because she was in a good mood, it was a rare moment that Lan You Nian leaned into Feng Yi Xuans ear, using a voice that only the two of them could hear, Dont touch other other, how about touch you?
Lan You Nians words were too ambiguous, even evilly sticking her tongue out to lick Feng Yi Xuans white ears.
Boom! Feng Yi Xuan felt his entire body burning up. He had absolutely no resistibility to Lan You Nian. Now the girl said such words that made one set loose their imagination, and licked him, Feng Yi Xuan felt an instant reaction. He even recalled the image of Nian Nian using her little hands to help him solve it and the intense feelings
Lan You Nian sat on Feng Yi Xuans thighs; hence, she could feel Feng Yi Xuans change. She giggled mentally but when she looked up to see Feng Yi Xuans eyes filling with desire, Lan You Nian felt perhaps she may have bitten off more than she could chew.
How do you know? How do you know? Consort Tao, no, right now she can be called Lan Ya, Lan Ya shouted at Lan You Nian, still unwilling to admit defeat. She really couldnt figure out, she already changed her looks and changed her identity, how can this Lan You Nian still recognize her. Why did she lose again?!
Lan Yas shout made Feng Yi Xuan return to his senses. Reaching out a hand to perch Lan You Nian stably on hisp, especially concealing his bodys physical reaction. But to have the woman of his heart by his side, Feng Yi Xuan only felt his thoughts run even wilder.
Xuan, trust me, if you dont keep your hands to yourself, I will cripple you! Lan You Nian grit her teeth as she pinched Feng Yi Xuans arm. She felt the longer she knows Feng Yi Xuan, this more amorous this man bes. To get turned on while in the public eye, yet this was before he has gotten to eat her, if the two of them married, she couldnt imagine the consequences.
Feng Yi Xuan grievously looked at Lan You Nian and muttered in dissatisfaction, Nian Nian, can you bear to destroy your future happiness? Besides, its not my fault!
Lan You Nian red at Feng Yi Xuan dangerously, and grit her teeth as she said, Are you saying its my fault then?
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, as he said pitifully, It bes excited whenever it touches you. And you had just tempted me then, so it became even more excited!
Lan You Nian found Feng Yi Xuans nonsensical words humorous. When has this man learned to retort back with her? But it couldnt be denied, no matter what Feng Yi Xuan was like, she liked all of him. She felt only such a Feng Yi Xuan was the true him, a unique him.
The twos disregard angered Lan Ya who climbed up frm the ground to scratch at Lan You Nian. Before she could get near Lan You Nian, she was thrown off by a st of Feng Yi Xuans internal force. At this, Lan You Nian returned her gaze to Lan Ya, Lan Ya, why are you still so ignorant? If I was you, Id mp my tail and run far far away. Why are you so stupid toe back to provoke me?
Lan Ya saw herself so haggard and looked at Lan You Nian who was being gingerly protected within the other persons arms, hating she couldnt go up to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
Haha, run? No, no, I want toe back to take revenge on you. I want toe back to destroy you! Lan Ya looked at Lan You Nian, the hatred in her eyes was like an evil spirit from hell, Do you know how much hatred I feel? From the moment I was born, even if father didnt pay attention to you, but at least he had you in his heart. But what about me? Father has never spared me a look! And then I thought you died, why didnt you die! Why must youe back alive? Once you came back, the entire Lan manor changed. My little sister, older brother, mother were all killed by you. Do you know how much I hate?
I dont! Lan You Nian very leisurely sat on Feng Yi Xuansp but Lan You Nians words nearly choked Lan Ya to death.
Hahaha! Lan Yaughed like a ghost, Of course you dont know. Look at you, so many people love you, pamper you, even Prince Ming who doesnt like women loves you. But what about me? I dont have anything, so I only wanted to find someone to rely on for myself. But I didnt expect even Crown Prince of Hua has feelings of love for you. I only wanted to be his woman. Am I wrong? I am not, but do you know how he treated me?
Lan You Nian was very cooperative as she shook her head. She really didnt know. She only knew once Lan Ya entered Hua Xiu Yis pce, she disappeared, so she paid no more attention to her. It looked like something happened she wasnt aware of. The adorable look of Lan You Nian obediently nodding as she listened to a story, not only delighted Feng Yi Xuan, even Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian hated they couldnt go over to pat Lan You Nians head.
Lan Ya seemed to be remembering something frightening as her entire body curled up in a corner, her eyes filled with hatred and horror, He turned a blind eye to me, actually threw me at those guards to shame me. So many people, do you know how much that hurts? My innocence, my everything was gone, everything was gone! Hahaha, everythings gone!
Lan You Nian nodded her head understandingly. So it turns out Hua Xiu Yi that abnormality threw her to his guards to y with. Lan You Nian didnt feel as if Hua Xiu Yi did anything wrong. They werent good people, true, but if you didnt go provoke them bad people, they usually wont do anything to you. One could only me you didnt have the ability yet still fantasized about provoking them.
Meanwhile, as Lan You Nian pondered to herself, she didnt know her little look was too cute. If there was a little tail, it definitely can instant kill anyone, just like Feng Yi Xuan who felt his heart jumping rapidly, simply to say hepletely defeated by the cuteness of Lan You Nians unconscious expressions.
Why has your face be like this? Lan You asked. When she stroked Lan Yas face, she determined from touch that Lan Ya didnt show any signs of disguising her face. Then it could only be that someone tampered with Lan Yas face, even having an ulterior motive to use a face that was simr to the previous Empress to Lan Ya. One can imagine how vicious his motives were. Lan You Nian always thought the only ones who had the ability to tamper with peoples faces were her master Gui Yi Zi and her. Even elder brothers medical skills havent reached that level.
Because I wanted to be more beautiful. I wanted toe back to take revenge on you! Though Lan Ya had no more roads left to her, she still didnt admit the truth, But I didnt expect, even if I changed my looks, and became a consort, I still cant beat you!
Lan You Nian was about to ask something else when Lan Ya spit out ck blood from her mouth. Lan You Nian was going to go over to check on it but was stopped by Feng Yi Xuan. He shook his head, She doesnt have long to live! Though Feng Yi Xuan didnt understand medicine, from Lan Yas vital signs, he knew she didnt have any left. She couldnt survive this.
After Lan Ya vomited the ck blood, that beautiful face started to fester as that face started to ke off. Feng Yi Xuan pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, not allowing her to see such a horrifying face. Feng Xia Qi, too, covered up Yue Bai Lians eyes.
Whats this? Feng Xia Qi forced back the urge to puke. In an instant, Lan Yas faces starting to ke off and became mottled with holes, as if she was being gnawed on by something.
Im fine! Lan You Nian pat Feng Yi Xuans arm. Coming out of Feng Yi Xuans arms, she shot a look at Lan Ya who has be a pile of rotten meat and looked away, really feeling disgusted. Yue Bai Lian pulled down Feng Xia Qis fingers, but immediately threw up when she got a look.
If someone wanted to change their face, they must use a certain poison insect and put it into their face, then let that poison insect gnaw on the bones to change the face, then use the best medical skills and herbs to shape a new face, but the the person with the new face only has two months to live. What surprises me is that theres someone in this world who can change ones face. I only thought only master knew! Lan You Nian considered it as her brows furrowed. Who was it behind it all? Why did they send Lan Ya into Feng empires imperial pce? These were all unsolved puzzles.
Prince, princess consort! An Yi entered the pce and in a tone of guilt, reported, This subordinate is useless. I wasnt able to chase down that eunuch!
From the very beginning, Feng Yi Xuan had An Yi to capture that eunuch. After all, from the looks of it, Lan Ya was merely being used and that fake eunuch seemed to be worth a lot more. It was a surprise that An Yi wasnt able to catch him with his martial arts.
Feng Yi Xuan waved his hand to let An Yi withdraw. Feng Yi Xuan was aware of An Yis abilities, so this time it was them who underestimated the enemy!
It looks like the one behind this is someone from another empire, using Lan Ya to create disorder in our Feng empire. It is a good n! Feng Xia Qi muttered, enraged. He still cared very much about Feng empire. He will be a good Emperor.
We can only wait now... Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian, leaving the pce hall. The one behind the scenes hid themselves very well. They have already alerted the enemy. Next, the one behind it will hide themselves even deeper, so they ca only wait.
Chapter 234 - 09 Feng Xia Qi Ascends the Throne
09 Feng Xia Qi Ascends the Throne
When summer passed, Feng Xia Qi ascended the imperial throne rightfully by Feng Xuans personal decree and Yue Bai Lian became the Empress. When Lan You Nian received this news, she was still slightly shocked. She didnt expect Feng Xuan to abdicate so soon. After all, with Feng Xuans age, he could still sit on the throne for many years.
When Feng Yi Xuan arrived in You Nian Pavilion after leaving court, Lan You Nian had just received the news. As usual, Feng Yi Xuan pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, even though they just separated at sunrise.
Imperial brother ascended the throne! Feng Xuan sighed with feeling. Actually, he was surprised too when this imperial decree was issued to the morning court suddenly without giving anyone a chance to prepare, thus giving everyone a shock. Feng Xia Qi was the Crown Prince in the first ce and having a favorable impression, naturally no one objected to the imperial decree.
Xuan, Brother Xia Qi has now ascended the throne, are you happy? Lan You Nian watched as Feng Yi Xuan changed out of his ck court uniform, taking the initiative to pull Feng Yi Xuans hand as she asked. She could tell Feng Yi Xuan didnt have much feelings for the Feng Empire. Feng Yi Xuan was the type of person to do as he wished. He was willing to do so much for Feng Empire, its most likely because of Feng Xia Qi this imperial brother.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt conceal anything as he nodded. Since they were young, he and imperial brother have been bullied and humiliated. From that moment, they started to covet that spot, not because of greed for that power, only because that power allowed them to protect the people they wanted to protect. Later, as they gradually grew up, Feng Yi Xuan grew even more powerful. Even without the imperial throne, Feng Yi Xuan could still protect the people he wanted to protect. But this throne was still theirs. To say they werent happy would be false, but Feng Yi Xuan still felt a sense of mncholy.
Then for the dinner party Ill be holding at Zhen Wei Pavilion, will Brother Xia Qi and Bai Lian being? Lan You Nian asked, uncertain. Now that Feng Xia Qi has ascended the throne, he must have many things to take care of. Feng Xia Qi was no longer a prince nor the Crown Prince but the Emperor. As the Emperor, he had too much helplessness and things he couldnt control. Lan You Nian feared Feng Xia Qi would be bound by the throne and put on the mask of an Emperor and be beyond recognition.
They will go. We only need to wait at Zhen Wei Pavilion! Feng Yi Xuan said with certainty. Though he was indifferent, he understood his imperial brother very ewell. Though imperial brother liked authoritarian power, he definitely wont be a captive to power, nor would he be greedy for this power.
Alright! Lan You Nian beamed. She believed in Feng Yi Xuans words more and more, as if everything Feng Yi Xuan said was right. Feng Yi Xuan, in her heart, has be the greatest man, bing the god of her heart.
Meanwhile, in the pce, eunuchs and pce maids were taking the measurements for Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian. Because the Supreme Emperors imperial decree was too hasty, the new Emperors imperial robes and Empresss robes havent been made, the entire imperial pce was busy at work to make preparations for the imperial coronation of the Emperor. Yue Bai Lian has be the mistress of the entire imperial pce. Unfortunately, the phoenix seal that controlled the harem was in the hands of the Grand Empress Dowager. Yue Bai Lian, though, didnt care for it.
Waving her hand to have the eunuchs and pce maids withdraw, Yue Bai Lian asked, Your Majesty, will we be going to Zhen Wei Pavilion tonight?
Feng Xia Qi took Yue Bai Lians hand in his, saying, Bai Lian, you and I are husband and wife. Theres no need to be so decorous. Im still am Feng Xia Qi, not the Emperor. You dont need to doubt. My persistence hasnt changed. I still wish to protect AXuan and Nianer. I merely had the addition of duty to Feng empire and you!
Yue Bai Lian felt her heart rest when she heard these words. Ever since the imperial decree was announced, she has been thinking. She knew Feng Xia was bound to ascend the throne but didnt expect that day toe so quickly. Yue Bai Lian felt gratified, but at the same time, she couldnt help worry. How many Emperors after ascending the throne didnt have a jealous and suspicious heart. If Feng Xia Qi really became like that, Yue Bai Lian felt she could not ept it. From the start, she married Feng Xia Qi not only to find a home for herself but also wished to give Nianer a sturdy backstage. Hearing Feng Xia Qis words, Yue Bai Lian felt she really worried nonsensically. If Feng Xia Qi was really that kind of person, would Nianer be good friends with such a person?
I was too oversensitive! Yue Bai Lian smiled apologetically, I only feared you would be bewitched by the throne, bing the typical Emperor. Weve been married for a while. Though we dont have love, I truly consider you a confidante and family. I wish we can walk hand in hand through this lifetime! It was the first time Yue Bai Lian took the initiative to embrace Feng Xia Qi, without any romantic love but sincere feelings.
When Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian snuck into Zhen Wei Pavilion, everyone else had arrived. Even Gui San was seated in the parlor. When they saw Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian enter, Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang prepared to greet them with ceremony, for the twos thought process was a lot more rigid, and thoroughly epting of etiquette.
Feng Xia Qi saw their postures and hastily stopped them, What are you doing? Now that I am Emperor, do you not consider me a friend? Its fine at court. In private, I am still Feng Xia Qi. Please dont stand on ceremony!
When they saw Feng Xia Qi react like that, they all sighed in relief. Though they were certain Feng Xia Qi wouldnt even even if he ascended the throne, they still held a sliver of worry. Now they saw Feng Xia Qi like this, they were overjoyed. None of them wished to lose a dear friend.
Feng Yi Xuan was the first to pick up a wine cup, dering, Congratte imperial brother for ascending the throne! Everyone else raised their wine cups as well. It was best to hand Feng Empire into Feng Xia Qis hands. Feng Xia Qi was a good Emperor; this was without a doubt.
Since this is such a happy asion, and Feng Xia Qi has ascended the throne, shouldnt little sister Nianer make a statement? Yu Liu Li eximed. It was simply that ever since Lan You Nians identity was exposed, she very rarely performed on stage. Not only did those literati wished to hear Lan You Nians songs, even Yu Liu Li longed to hear more.
Though the others didnt express their opinions on the matter, their meaning was obvious. Most of them have seen Lan You Nian dance in the pce, so their eyes were practically glowing. Feng Yi Xuan looked in pleasure at everyone else, but understood they didnt have malicious intentions; hence he didnt be enraged, yet he still frowned which allowed others to know he wasnt in a good mood.
Lan You Nian could easily tell what everyone was thinking as she smiled like a hundred flowers blooming and nodded as she soothed Feng Yi Xuan beside her, afraid Feng Yi Xuan will be upset.
Though Feng Yi Xuan didnt like others even taking a nce at Nian Nian, he knew his possessiveness would be very oppressive for Nian Nian. Nian Nian had her own thoughts and life. Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians forehead and reluctantly released his hold on Nian Nian, allowing Nian Nian to go down to y a song, but his gaze was glued to Lan You Nian. Even knowing shes only going to be gone for a while, he didnt allow her to leave his line of sight. Feng Yi Xuans eyeballs were stick onto Lan You Nian.
When entered the high stage behind the beaded curtains, the entire lobby exploded. They didnt expect they would encounter Miss Miao Yins performance on stage today. Meanwhile, Gui San was wailing in the parlor, continuously whimpering, Money, my money ah!
If Gui San knew his little junior sister was going to perform on stange, he would have others announce it. By then, Zhen Wei Pavilion would be packed and his earnings would be even higher.
Todays song is called Wishing We Last Forever a crisp and soft voice drifted out from the curtains. Though Feng Yi Xuan couldnt see Lan You Nians face clearly, he can still imagine how Lan You Nians white fingers would caress the zither strings and that the face with red lips slightly opened. But now, its such a huge loss!
Song Wishing We Last Forever by Wang Fei
When did the bright moon first appear? One raises a cup and asks the blue sky.
One does not know, in the celestial pces, what year it is this evening.
I wish to ride the wind and return there, yet fear the jade towers; in a high dwelling one cannot bear the cold.
Starting to dance with ones clear shadow -what else resembles the mortal world?
Revolving around the red pavilion, lowering to a silk-work door, it shines upon the sleepless.
It should not have resentment; why is it always full at times of separation?
People have sorrows, joys, parting and reunions, the moon is dark, bright, waxes or wanes.
These problems have been this way since ancient times, yet one hopes for longevity; a thousand miles apart, together under the moons beauty.
Lan You Nian left the beaded stage as soon as she finished her song. Those who stretched out their necks to catch a glimpse at her only caught a glimpse of her cold silhouette, but this increasingly made Lan You Nian into a celestial-like character.
As soon as Lan You Nian entered the parlor, she was dragged into Feng Yi Xuans arms. The others gave an enthusiastic round of apuse. They truly liked Lan You Nians songs, not only because the lyrics were beautiful but because Lan You Nians voice was beautiful, always giving people a fresh feeling.
The party ate and drank into the night. It was already starting to grow dark outside but Zhen Wei Pavilion was alit withnterns.
Just as everyone put down their bowls and chopsicks, Jing Wu An opened his mouth, Xia Qi, at your coronation, the other three empires will definitely being to give their congrattions. We already received news that Yue empire sent a princess for a peace marriage and the department of rites is preparing for the consort candidacy selection!
Jing Wu An had his own motive for saying this. The friends within their circle all had the idea of one pair for a lifetime. But now Feng Xia Qi has risen onto the throne, it meant to have a harem. Theyve already epted Yue Bai Lian as a friend, so he couldnt help asking the question.
Yue Bai Lian smiled wordlessly. As for whether or not Feng Xia Qi will have a lot of woman, Yue Bai Lian didnt mind that much. Perhaps because there was no love, she was at ease. But Yue Bai Lian hoped that their life wasnt filled with so many women. Any ce with women will always tend to have inner conflicts, and as the Empress, she will be at the center of the conflicts.
But before Yue Bai Lian could speak, Lan You Nian spoke. She sat on Feng Yi Xuansp, very unhappily as she stared at Feng Xia Qi as she demanded, You want to marry a lot of women? Hug left and right? Enjoy a harem of women? For Lan You Nian, Yue Bai Lian was one of her very few friends. Lan You Nian quite admired Yue Bai Lian; thus, she cared about her a great deal. Now she saw her good friend being bullied, Lan You Nian had to show her support for Yue Bai Lian.
Feng Xia Qi didnt know whether tough or cry with Lan You Nians three questions and the disdainful look. Did he say he would marry those women? Why does each and every one of them look at him like he was a heartbreaker while Yue Bai Lian as the person in question doesnt show any ounce of anger?
I say, did I say I would marry those women? You cant force abel on me so casually! Feng Xia Qi cried pitifully and grievously. Then, he grabbed Bai Lians hand that wa son her knees, Since I married Bai Lian, I wont fail her!
Bai Lian was moved by Feng Xia Qis words. She smiled gently at Feng Xia Qi, her smile filled with warmth, Thank you!
This is for the best! Lan You Nian nodded in satisfaction, and then looked threateningly at Feng Xia Qi, If you bully Bai Lian...
If I bully Bai Lian, what will Nianer do? Feng Xia Qi smirked in response.
You will suffer the consequences! Xuan will stand on my side, right Xuan? Lan You Nian joked and even dragged Feng Yi Xuan in.
But Feng Yi Xuan who loved Nian to madness nodded without any objection, I will stand on your side... Completely ignoring his imperial brothers hurt expression as well as the exasperation of the others. Showing publics disys of affection really made people exasperated.
Chapter 235 - 10 The Appearance of the Love Rival
10 The Appearance of the Love Rival
Feng Xia Qis coronation was somewhat hasty but he truly sat upon the imperial throne. Yue Bai Lian also sat firmly on the seat of Empress. None expected Feng Xia Qi to pass an edict to confer Lan You Nian as Feng Empires junzhu (T/N: a second-rate princess title). Not only did she have a sry but she also received a fiefdom. This has never happened before. Not to mention the actual princesses, some titled princes didnt even have fiefdoms.
Though many ministers were dissatisfied that a woman easily obtained a title and fiefdom, none dared to submit aint. First, both the Emperor and the Empress passed this decree. Second, behind Lan You Nian, she had, not only Lan manor as her backing, but Jing manor as well. Thirdly and the most important, Lan You Nian was now Prince Mings future wife. Just based on this status, the ministers didnt dare do anything, for Prince Ming paid no heed to thews and totally capable of ughtering them.
When Lan You Nian received the imperial decree, she waspletely stunned, but very quickly, she came to her senses and epted the imperial decree. She stood as she epted the imperial decree. The one to deliver the imperial decree of Eunuch Lu, the eunuch who now serves by Feng Xia Qis side. Meanwhile, Feng Xuan has already be the Supreme Emperor spending his days joyously in his pce.
Eunuch Lu looked at the expressionless Lan junzhu and felt a sliver of admiration. Only Prince Ming and Lan junzhu dared to stand as they received an imperial decree in Feng Empire. No wonder the two ended up together. If such people didnt end up together, it would be a pity.
Once Lan You Nian epted the decree, she was now Feng Empires only junzhu. Hua Mu Qing didnt count since Hua Mu Qing was already married to Lan Mo Xian and given the title of Matron of the second grade. Feng Empire only had Lan You Nian, this junzhu. There wasnt even a princess. One can imagine Lan You Nians status was over the top.
After Lan You Nian epted the imperial decree, she returned to You Nian Pavilion. She knew Feng Yi Xuan wille to You Nian Pavilion to apany her after he was dismissed from court. No matter how busy, he would alwayse over to see her before going over to the military camp. This was a habit that formed over time.
Sure enough, not long after, Feng Yi Xuan came over to You Nian Pavilion. It must be mentioned that Feng Yi Xuan was very busy. Everyday, on the surface, it seemed he was returning to Prince Ming manor but once he entered Prince Ming manor, he didnt even leave a greeting before using qinggong to race to Lan manor. Every morning at sunrise, hed use qinggong to return to Prince Ming manor where hed depart for court.
Youve received the imperial decree? Feng Yi Xuan neatened Lan You Nians outfit. He was aware of the matter, that is to say, he was the one who had his imperial brother pass it.
Originally, Feng Yi Xuan didnt think of this matter, but one day, Feng Yi Xuan heard some gossip. Those people said that Lan You Nians identity as the generals daughter wasnt worthy of war god, Prince Ming. At that moment Feng Yi Xuan heard this, he directly killed that person with the loose tongue. For Feng Yi Xuan, between him and Nian Nian, there didnt exist the question of worthiness. They existed for each other. But Feng Yi Xuan knew gossip was a fearful thing. He wasnt willing to let Nian Nian get hurt, even if it was just gossip. He wont allow for it, so he had Feng Xia Qi pass the decree to confer Nian Nian as junzhu, as well as a fiefdom. He wanted to prevent those youngdies of ministerial families from provoking Nian Nian.
En, you did it? Lan You Nian was surprised as she asked this. Though Feng Xia Qi them treated her well, this kind of imperial edict wouldnt be sent down for no reason. Hence, Lan You Nian guessed that it was her man who did it. Lan You Nian was a little money hoarder, so she was able to ept it calmly.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian onto the carriage, and admitted without attempting to hide anything, En, you dont like? Though Feng Yi Xuan did this for Lan You Nians own good, Feng Yi Xuan hoped Lan You Nian would be happy. If Nian Nian was unhappy, he would have imperial brother take back the imperial decree.
Lan You Nian shook her head, beaming as she said, Its excellent! With this identity, a lot of things will be much simpler. I wont need to greet those superficial youngdies of ministerial families! While Lan You Nians outward appearance was that of a highly cultured and proper with a slight otherwordly air, she didnt like to speak irrelevantly with strangers.
Once you marry me, youll be Princess Consort Ming. This identity would be even better to use! Feng Yi Xuan thought of this with joy. Hes been waiting for Nian Nian to grow up to marry her home. This has be Feng Yi Xuans greatest desire.
Lan You Nian didnt refute Feng Yi Xuans ims, and asked directly, Where are we going now? Once they settled into the carriage, she saw the carriage was heading out of the capital. Lan You Nian couldnt remember having any ns and was naturally confused.
Theres nothing happening in court. Lets take a walk outside? Feng Yi Xuan asked, though he was decided on this matter. Recently because of Feng Yi Xuans ascension, the court needed to be cleaned up; hence why Feng Yi Xuan was so busy. Though his care for Lan You Nian was still the same, the two of them havent gone out to take a stroll like this for a long time. Feng Yi Xuan knew Lan You Nian liked her freedom, so once he had time, hell take Lan You Nian out to sight-see.
Upon hearing they were going out to y, Lan You Nian glowed with a light only a girl her age would emit, a brilliant smile hung on her face. Lan You Nian liked being able to go y at various ces without any burdens, to experience the variety ofndscapes and enjoy this freedom that belonged solely to her.
They didnt go far, for they still needed to return to the capital by nighttime, so the two of them only made a visit to a town outside the capital. The people of the capital might be able to recognize them but the people of other ces only knew their name but didnt know what they looked like, so Feng Yi Xuan walked on the streets with Lan You Nian without concealment, though Lan You Nians face was covered by a veil while Feng Yi Xuan also wore a small mask that covered down to his nose.
The two found an ordinary an ordinary noodle shop in the small town to eat the most simple bowl of noodles. Maybe because of the person by their side, the two ate with relish. In the afternoon, the two took a stroll in the town that didnt have much of a crowd, observing the towns local customs.
Neither Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian expected to encounter Yue Empires procession for the peace marriage. Yue Empires procession that came to congratte the ascension of the new emperor only had a couple hundred people, mostly just guards and pce maids. Riding a horse in the middle of the procession was the princess who came for the peace marriage, Yue Bing Yu.
Yue Bing Yu was Yue Empires truly favored princess. This woman was well-known in Yue Empire, not only because of Yue Bing Yus beautiful looks but most importantly because of this Yue Bing Yus intelligence and singrity. Yue Bing Yu not only was well-read, she can also ride a horse and handle a bow. Amongst women, she was considered a miracle, but that is only before Lan You Nian became known. Lan You Nians current reputation has spread through all four empires, for her identity as Miss Miao Yin wasnt to be underestimated.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian as they stood beside the road. Though the two were persons of identity and wouldnt give the way to anyone, but now the two of them were secretive outside, like ordinary people, that is, if you are able to disregard their looks and bearings.
Lan You Nian leaned against Feng Yi Xuans chest, looking at the so-called most beautiful woman in the world. Oh, no, it should be the previous great beauty, for the title of number one beauty has been taken by Lan You Nian, while this Yue Bing Yu has became the second.
Yue Bing Yu wore a pure white and bright butterfly and daffodil gown. The hem was was thin as cicada wings. The golden silk brocade skirt that was merely decoration dragged on the ground. Slender arms gently pulled on soft gauze, every gesture added a sense of elegance and otherworldliness.
The beauty of the country, a beauty that could ruin a country, nothing more. Lan You Nian wanted tough. Having heard the rumors, Lan You Nian wished to what this most singr woman was like, for Bai Lians air and looks were extraordinary, but with only one nce, Lan You Nian didnt have any interest.
Have you seen someone dressed so grandly while riding a horse? Lan You Nian can be certain this woman must feel like riding in the carriage would cover up her limelight; hence why she showed off this way. From first nce, this woman was beautiful but Lan You Nian could still tell she was done up by heavy makeup. In an instant, Lan You Nian couldntpare to half of Bai Lian.
Just as Lan You Nian was about to retract her gaze with disinterest, Yue Bing Yu suddenly nced in their direction. No, she was looking at Feng Yi Xuan. Perhaps woman were born with the sensitivity to other women coveting their man, so Lan You Nian clearly sensed Yue Bing Yus gaze held passion and infatuation as she looked at Feng Yi Xuan. This feeling made Lan You Nian frown in displeasure. Feng Yi Xuan who had kept his whole attention on Lan You Nian immediately reached out a hand to smooth over Lan You Nians frown, until Lan You Nians frown smoothed out, only then did Feng Yi Xuan look at Yue Bing Yu.
When Yue Bing Yu saw the man dressed in the ck brocade robes, Yue Bing Yu became bashful. Even if the man wore a mask, Yue Bing Yu still knew he was the Prince Ming Feng Yi Xuan shes held in her thoughts for many years. Only Prince Ming had such a bearing. Yet before Yue Bing Yu could put on a shy expression, she saw the man who was like hard ice gently soften the frown of the woman beside him, his posture unspeakably tender and froze Yue Bing Yu to the core.
She knew this woman was Prince Mings fiance, Lan You Nian, known to the world as the most beautiful woman, Miss Miao Yin. For many years, Prince Ming didnt approach any woman, but was extremely protective of his fiance. Yue Bing Yu knew this from her investigations but to see it with her own eyes, it was another feeling altogether, jealousy and deep unwillingness.
Feng Yi Xuan rode on the steed, staring at Yue Bing Yucoldly. It was this woman who let Nian Nian frown, so Feng Yi Xuan used his internal force to hit Yue Bing Yus horse. In an instant, the horse became startled and madly bucked its legs and ran. Though Yue Bing Yu was rumored to be skilled schrly and in martial arts, but her martial arts was really just for show, so she fell joltingly from the back of the horse, bing muddy all over her body and face. The originally beautiful clothes became crumbled.
Yue Bing Yu wanted to cry. She anxiously nced at Feng Yi Xuan, afraid to see the disdain in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, but what Yue Bing Yu saw was even more depressing. Feng Yi Xuan didnt even spare her a nce but left hugging the other woman,pletely disregarding her.
Why did you do that? Lan You Nian sat on the carriage, asking. Though Feng Yi Xuan moved quickly, Lan You Nian could still see it with her martial arts.
She made you frown! Feng Yi Xuan was reluctant to let Nian Nian be unhappy and frown, yet someone else made Nian Nian unhappy, so Feng Yi Xuan must vent for Nian Nian, even if he didnt know why Nian Nian was angry.
Do you know her? Lan You Nian demanded with an unhappy tone that mixed with jealousy she wasnt aware of.
Dont know her but from the information about her, this woman is Yue Empires princess Yue Bing Yu, the one who came for the peace marriage! Feng Yi Xuan told Lan You Nian everything he knew, very much like a loyal dog.
Lan You Nian was pleased with Feng Yi Xuans behavior but still felt unwell inside. She propped her chin on Feng Yi Xuans thigh, as sheidzily on the carriage, fluttering herrge eyes at Feng Yi Xuan, She was looking at you. She likes you!
Feng Yi Xuan was startled. He never pays attention to other women, so he didnt know what Lan You Nian was talking about, but Feng Yi Xuan still showed where he stood on the matter, I dont like her. I only like you!
Feng Yi Xuans simple words delighted Lan You Nian. If that woman dared to covet Feng Yi Xuan, she didnt mind breaking another princess of Yue and send her back, just like Yue Qian Ling...
Chapter 236 - 11 Yue Bing Yu Takes the Initiative
11 Yue Bing Yu Takes the Initiative
The three empires came to congratte. The one to wee them was Prince Ming Feng Yi Xuan but how could Feng Yi Xuan do such a thing? Thus, the responsibility fell onto Lan Mo Xian and Jing Wu Ans shoulders. The two bore the hardship withoutint as they came to wee the three empires.
From Yue empire, the oneing was Princess Yue Bing Yu. Xue Empire is a prince of Xue Empire, Xue Yu. Unexpectedly, Hua Empire didnt send any delegates over. The Crown Prince of Hua only had someone send his congrattory gifts.
After looking into it, Lan You Nian learned Hua empire wasnt peaceful at the moment. Though Hua Xiu Yi already sat onto the position of Crown Prince, the Emperor at the top didnt seem pleased with Hua Xiu Yi. For a Crown Prince to fight with an Emperor, the pressure on him must be great. But one can tell Hua Xiu Yis capabilities couldnt be underestimated.
Feng Yi Xuan helped Lan You Nian into her dress and styled her hair. Looking over carefully to check everything was in its proper ce, he pulled on Lan You Nians hands and sat into the carriage heading to the Imperial Pce. The three empires havee to give their blessings. He as Prince Ming must attend. And Nian Nian must apany by his side.
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian arrived at the pce hall, everyone has already arrived. Even Emperor Feng Xia Qi and Empress Yue Bai Lian were already seated. More importantly, even the Dowager Empress was there. Lan You Nian felt speechless. Because she knew there was going to be a banquet today, she was prepared to get up bright and early but Feng Yi Xuan didnt allow it, pressing her down, letting her sleep until she naturally woke up and then took her to the pce. This was just perfect. Theyve be the pair to attract the most attention.
Yue Bing Yu carefully looked over Lan You Nian, this future wife of Prince Ming, the legendary Miss Miao Yin. One had to admit Lan You Nian was truly born beautiful, even more beautiful than she who was the previous number one beauty.
Lan You Nian wore a white light gauze dress, elegant and beautiful. She donned a hundred flower skirt embroidered with a hundred type of flowers, adorned with a silver belt around her narrow waist. A jade pendant belonging to the matriarch of Prince Ming manor dangled from her waist. Her white hands were being held in Prince Mings hand. The white jade hairpin on her head and the white outfitplemented each other.
As for Feng Yi Xuan, he wore a ck brocade robe with a ck belt wrapped around his torso. Hair adorned with a jade cor, flying with the wind. The only thing that was not so gregarious was the ugly pouch at his waist. Feng Yi Xuans deep eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, tightly gripping peoples hearts. His thin lips were pursed. Others were unable to read his thoughts. His figure was tall and straight as a jade mountain, so graceful than it made others drunk and unable to tear their eyes away.
Prince Ming and junzhu have arrived. Please be seated! Feng Xia Qi smiled as he shot the two a helpless expression. These people were all here to give their blessings for his coronation so could these two be obedient and not cause trouble for him?
Imperial Brother! Your Majesty! Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian paid their respects. Feng Yi Xuan dragged Lan You Nian over to the seat specifically reserved for them. Prince Ming and junzhus seats were arranged together. This was specifically instructed by the Emperor.
Before Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian could sit down, the Grand Dowager Empress seated above opened her mouth, As a prince of an empire and junzhu of an empire, to arrive sote, do you put His Majesty and this widowed empress in your eyes? Ever since the event ofst time, the Grand Dowager Empress not only disliked Lan You Nian, she too found Feng Yi Xuan loathsome.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt give any regard to the Grand Dowager Empresss reprimand as he continued to pull Lan You Nian onto her seat. It was Feng Xia Qi who said, Grand Dowager Empress, theres no need to be angered. This is this emperors fault. Recently, Prince Ming has been busy with matters this emperor handed over to him, so he has been extremely busy. There is nothing to me for beingte. As for Lan junzhu, it was this emperor who consented to hering with Prince Ming. Speaking of which, these two havent done anything wrong.
The Grand Dowager Empresss face turned ugly from Feng Xia Qis words. Anyone who saw could tell Feng Xia Qi was protecting the two. Its a pity that even it was clearly biased, no one dared to say anything. The one protecting them was the Emperor himself, Feng empires ruler.
I hear Feng empires Lan junzhu is highly cultured but today, this princesss eyes have been opened. Lan junzhu as an unmarried woman sits beside Prince Ming, isnt this inappropriate? Yue Bing Yu was filled with jealousy as she looked at Prince Ming who didnt spare her a nce from the beginning to end as his eyes were entirely filled with Lan You Nian. Yue Bing Yu felt Prince Ming must be ensnared by Lan You Nians face. She was the one who loved Prince Ming the most. She must steal Prince Ming back!
Lan You Nian finally spared Yue Bing Yu a nce. Yue Bing Yu clearly was especially attentive to her looks today. Her hair was done into a flying cloud hairstyle. From her slender and pure white neck hung a thin blue satin, making the beautiful neck swan-like, extremely charming. Wearing a blue floor-length gown with tiny stars embroidered on the hems of the skirt, exquisite and enchanting. Arms slender as jade lotus roots loomed from under the tulle-like dress. She had a graceful figure but her temperament was really loathsome.
Princess Bing Yus attitude makes this junzhu think of Princess Qian Ling. Is this the attitude of your Yue empire? Lan You Nian nibbled on the fruit Feng Yi Xuan handed to her as she uttered contemptuously. She really disliked such wordy women.
Yes, Princess Bing Yu is too brusque. This is Feng empires junzhu. Her status is personally decreed by the Emperor. Is Princess Bing Yu dissatisfied with His Majestys arrangements? Yue Bai Lian sat beside Feng Xia Qi as she scolded, putting on the airs of an dignified Empress
Imperial sister... Yue Bing Yu gaped disbelievingly at Yue Bai Lian. Though she wasnt familiar with this imperial sister, werent they both princesses of Yue Empire? If Yue Bai Lian didnt help her, there would be no chances of her winning.
This empress is His Majestys wife, Feng Empires empress, not Princess Bing Yus imperial sister. Asking Princess Bing Yu to watch your words! Yue Bai Lian was dressed in a red empresss pce dress looking down at Yue Bing Yu. These brothers and sisters were only hypocritical people. She now had a husband and friends. Her family was Feng Empire. There was no connection between her and Yue empire.
Yue Bing Yu looked at Yue Bai Lian. They were both princesses, while she was Imperial Fathers most favored princess, yet the most unfavored Princess Bai Lian became Feng empires empress. Yue Bing Yu didnt feel good inside. She didnt like any woman living better than her. She believed the best things in the world should belong to her.
A sh of disdain entered her heart before she recovered her gentle appearance. She didnt want Prince Ming to see her being so ungraceful.
Is Feng Empires empress devoid of gratitude? Feng empires empress is my Yue empires princess. Arent you afraid of beingughed at by the world? Yue Bing Yus voice was firm as if she was one of the righteous people.
Feng Xia Qi pped the jade table, enraged, snapping in displeasure at Yue Bing Yu, The Empress is this emperors wife. Has the book of female discipline not taught Princess Bing Yu to submit to the husband once married? The Empress is already married to this emperor. She is now this emperors empress, Feng empires mother of the country. Does Princess Bing Yu want to cause trouble for this emperors empress on this emperors good day?
Feng Xia Qis defense of her warmed Yue Bai Lians heart. The Emperor and Empress shared a look. All of the ministers knew the Emperor and Empress to have deep affections and felt Feng empires future will be prosperous.
Yue Bing Yu, despite bing irritable over Prince Ming, she wasnt a stupid woman, so Yue Bing Yu put away her inner feelings and smiled enchantingly, and said apologetically, This princess overstepped. Im just very happy from seeing imperial sister, asking Feng empires Emperor and Empress to to be magnanimous!
Feng Xia Qi saw Yue Bing Li retreat. It wouldnt be appropriate if he reprimanded her now. He was the Emperor of an empire. If he were to have some conflict with a princess who came to give her blessings, it would lose his gentlemanly reputation, though he wasnt a gentleman.
Its fine but this emperor hopes Princess Bing Yu can think before you speak. These people havee to give this emperor their blessings! Feng Xia Qis words meant this was over but it also meant to warn Yue Bing Yu not to cause any more trouble.
After all the empires have given their blessings and presented their gifts, Yue Bing Yu couldnt hold herself back as she curtsied to Feng Xia Qi, Emperor of Feng Empire, this princess came to Feng empire for the peace marriage between our two empires. Asking Feng empires emperor to grand my wish!
Feng Xia Qi frowned, This emperor already has an empress. The empress is virtuous and a perfect example of a woman. This emperor deres Feng empires imperial harem will not have any consorts or concubines, only an Empress!
Following Feng Yi Xuans example to marry one person, Feng Xia Qis only marrying one Empress made the ministers horrified. Prince Ming was only a prince so it was reasonable for him to marry only one woman but the Emperor was the son of Heaven. He needed to propagate for the imperial family. How can he only have one woman?
Please ask Your Majesty to reconsider! all the minister rose and kowtowed, hoping Feng Xia Qi will take back his decree.
His Majestys actions are simply too willful. His Majesty is the son of Heaven, needing to have children for the imperial family. How is it possible with only an Empress? The Grand Dowager Empress looked at Feng Xia Qi in displeasure, not understanding why the child who was so obedient has be as hard to understand as Feng Yi Xuan, that child.
This emperors edict is already announced. Do my beloved subjects want this emperor to turn back on my word? This emperor is an Emperor of an empire. How can I refute the words Ive already said? With an outpour of Feng Xia Qis kingly air, the ministers didnt dare to say anything more. Perhaps the Emperor was only temporarily thinking like this. Once he met a beautiful woman, hell definitely take her into the pce.
This was the first time Lan You Nian felt the kingly air around Feng Xia Qi. It looks like Feng Xia Qi has been concealing himself in the past. Only this way could he and Feng Yi Xuan escape many assassinations.
This princess admires Feng Empire Emperors love but this princess came under orders of my imperial father to form a peace marriage with Feng empire. If this princess can marry into Feng empire, Imperial father will give several cities as dowries! Yue Bing Yu dered proudly. This price was enough. If Prince Ming married her, he didnt need a single soldier or troop to obtain several cities. A smart person would know what to do.
Yue Bing Yus words made people suck in a breath. Several cities! This was such a great temptation. The ministers looked at the Emperor, hoping he would marry this princess but Feng Xia Qi still smiled, wordlessly, refusing to marry.
This emperor appreciates Yue empires emperors good intentions but this emperor already has an empress... Feng Xia Qis face remained unchanged.
No, the one I want to marry is not Feng empires emperor but Feng empires Prince Ming! Yue Bing Yu looked at Feng Yi Xuan bashfully, very daring as she confessed her feelings. She knew if she didnt take the initiative, she would not be able to marry this man.
Chapter 237 - 12 Feng Yi Xuan’s Love
12 Feng Yi Xuans Love
After Lan You Nian heard Yue Bing Yus words, that face as exquisite and delicate as a fairys, because of theziness and mischievous smile on her lips, added a sense of mortality to her, falling from the noble heavens.
You want to marry Xuan? Lan You Nian fiddled with Feng Yi Xuans slender and wide palm without sparing Yue Bing Yu a look. Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan was so wonderful so its expected that there were women who coveted him but Lan You Nian trusted Feng Yi Xuans love for her. Feng Yi Xuan could not be stolen away by any means. But not everyone can be coveted. Lan You Nian disliked those women who appeared by Feng Yi Xuans side.
Yue Bing Yu felt stuffy in her heart as she looked at the arrogant Lan You Nian, determined that Prince Ming only liked Lan You Nian for her looks. Such a woman who didnt know when to retreat or to treat the man as her world, how long can Prince Ming like her? Yue Bing Yu felt it was normal for there to be many women by Prince Mings side. All women epted that men would have a harem of women. The vow of one true love Prince Ming had given to Lan You Nian made Yue Bing Yu fantasize she can be the object of such love.
Yes, this princess came to Feng empire to give my blessings for the coronation of Feng empires Emperor. Secondly, this princess brought several cities for a peace marriage! The person this princess wants to marry is Prince Ming! Yue Bing Yu said as she bashfully looked at Feng Yi Xuan, hoping to see some tenderness in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, but unfortunately, Feng Yi Xuan didnt even spare her a look. His gaze was always focused on Lan You Nian. Even from afar, Yue Bing Yu can still feel the gentleness and pampering in that gaze.
Lan You Nianzily lifted her eyes. Even just a simple movement, Lan You Nian gave it an enchanting vor, captivating everyone in the hall. Theypared the two, feeling that no matter whether it was looks orportment, Yue Bing Yu could notpare to Lan You Nian.
Is Princess Bing Yu losing your hearing at such a young age? This is an illness that needs to be treated! Lan You Nian covered her mouth giggling, Xuan once said only one person in this lifetime. If Princess Bing Yu knows, why would you want Xuan to be a faithless person? Besides, this junzhus man, can just anyone covet?
This was the first time Lan You Nian dered Feng Yi Xuan to be hers so strongly. This should be a disregard of a mans face but Feng Yi Xuan, upon hearing Lan You Nians overbearing words, was overjoyed, even adding, No one can covet this prince. This prince is Nian Nians, only Nian Nians.
Feng Xia Qi couldnt bear to look at it anymore. What has his mighty imperial younger brother be, losing all manliness? If this continues on, Feng Xia Qi feared Lan You Nian will kidnap his younger brother to Lan manor to be the son-inw to marry in. However, Feng Xia Qi didnt know that Feng Yi Xuan was about to this exact thing previously.
Lan Jian Jun wore a stern aged face as he looked at his mighty daughter, his eyes filled with agreement. His Lan Jian Juns daughter should be like this. No one can steal her husband. However, this Prince Ming did very well, didnt disappoint him the father-inw. It looks like once his daughteres of age, he can marry her to Prince Ming with an easy heart.
Yue Bing Yus eyes reddened from Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuansplementing words. Unfortunately, she wanted to attract attention but no one paid her any heed, though the perverts in the hall shot her obscene looks, for Yue Bing Yu wore a scanty outfit and with her actions, one cant me men for overthinking.
Is Lan junzhu so overbearing? Should such a good man as Prince Ming be monopolized by Lan junzhu? Yue Bing Yu said in dissatisfaction. Her status and position, which one wasckingpared to that woman? Why can Lan You Nian obtain Prince Mings pampering while she cant?
Lan You Nian pursed her lips as if she was truly considering it. All eyes were on Lan You Nian, seeing what Lan junzhu would answer with. A few breathster, Lan You Nian asked, Are you as pretty as this junzhu?
Yue Bing Yu was hit where it hurts. She believed herself to be the most beautiful woman in the world but now, no matter how she refused to admit it, she knew her looks were nothingpared to Lan You Nian, but she cannot admit defeat like this.
This princess doesnt have Lan junzhus good looks but to marry a wife is to marry the virtuous. So what if Lan junzhu is beautiful. Even the most beautiful woman will grow old with age! Yue Bing Yu said mournfully. She wasnt stupid. If she didnt meet Prince Ming, she might be able to find a good man to live the rest of her life with. Its a pity...
To marry a wife is to marry virtue. Princess Bing Yu is right. Then, how does Princess Bing Yu feel about your music and dance, is it better than this princess? Lan You Nian once again demanded without a hint of humbleness. However, everyone knew Lan You Nian had the ability to back such arrogance. Her songs and dance were truly unprecedented and peerless.
Yue Bing Yu struggled to hold herself back. She really wanted to curse at Lan You Nian. This woman did it on purpose, purposefully gloating in front of her, purposefully exhibiting herself in front of Prince Ming and taking a hit at her, letting Prince Ming dislike her. Yue Bing Yu felt the first thing she must do once she married Prince Ming was to kill this woman. Undoubtedly, Yue Bing Yu overthought.
This princess isnt good at any of those things, but... Yue Bing Yu wanted to exin she was still a talented woman but Lan You Nian wasnt interested in what she wanted to say so she broke her off.
Youre not better than me in anything yet you still want to marry Xuan. You think theres a problem with Xuans eyes? Besides, this princess ask you another question, do you know Xuan dislikes you? As a woman, as well as a princess, you shamelessly speak so inly in front of a mans fiance, I really dont know if this Press Bing Yu is open-minded or is thick-faced! Lan You Nian smiled gently, but the entire hall filled with snickers, even the Emperor and Empress could help fromughing, so all the ministers fearlesslyughed out loud.
Yue Bing Yu shook under the guffaws. If before she was only jealous of Lan You Nian, she now hated Lan You Nian to the bones. She must kill this woman, just like the other women she killed before. She must have someone mercilessly torture this woman, have her beg for mercy, have her cry.
This princess is a princess of Yue empire, carrying several cities! This princess thinks Prince Ming knows the benefits of marrying this princess. Besides, Lan junzhu is too anxious. Prince Ming hasnt said anything! Yue Bing Yu refused to admit defeat. Her biggest bargaining chip was the several cities on her. Yue Bing Yu believed no one would pass over such benefits. Even if she had to make herself into an object, it was all worth it if she married Prince Ming.
Many ministers of Feng empire were moved by this. Though Feng empire was the strongest empire amongst the four empires, all people wanted the best. If they had these cities, Feng empire will be more powerful. Many ministers looked at Prince Ming, though they feared Prince Mings aura and gaze, they wished Prince Ming to consider it.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt bother with Yue Bing Yu and the ministers gaze. It was Lan You Nian who pushed Feng Yi Xuans arm, Xuan, the princess is waiting for your answer. That is several cities! Her tone carried a hint of stuffiness and jealousy, but one cant see her displeasure from her face.
Feng Yi Xuan finally spared Yue Bing Yu a look but his eyes didnt contain a trace of Yue Bing Yu. Feng Yi Xuan ridiculed, This prince once said I will only love and only marry Nian Nian. What are you to question Nian Nian?
Feng Yi Xuans words were harsh. It was tantly pping Yue Bing Yus face. Feng Yi Xuan didnt give Yue Bing Yu any face due to her identity as a princess, even maliciously humiliating Yue Bing Yu with his words. Anyone who made Nian Nian unhappy, Feng Yi Xuan will not show any mercy, not even just words!
I... Yue Bing Yu stared despondently at Feng Yi Xuan. Prince Ming who she has loved for so many years protects another woman in public yet treated her with malicious words. Yue Bing Yu refused to ept this. Why should she!?
Reaching out a hand to wipe away her tears, she still refused to give up, Why? If you marry this princess, Feng empire will obtain several cities. Doesnt Prince Ming know this? Doesnt Feng empires Emperor know this? Yue Bing Yu still held to a strand of hope. She hoped no matter for what reason Prince Ming will marry her. Hence, she threw away her pride as a princess and reserve as a woman, to tell everyone, to tell the Emperor, just to obtain this man. This man has already be an obsessive dream of hers!
Feng Yi Xuan suddenly stood, his eyes cold as the pressure he outputted made it unbearable for others in the hall, Just a few cities. If this prince wants it, Ill take it. Or do you think this princes military merits came about for no reason? Besides... Feng Yi Xuan looked at all the people present, his eyes sharp as des like the icicles in the cold harsh winter, glimmering coldly under the sunlight, Nian Nian is my, Feng Yi Xuans, wife. No power or position canpare! If someone makes Nian Nian angry, this prince doesnt mind bringing a bloodbath to anyone!
Such a person, standing before you was enough to scare them out of their wits. Having such a person, having no thoughts except for killing. Such a person, besides making others feel a bone-chilling coldness, there is nothing else. This person was Feng Yi Xuan.
Lan You Nians ck eyes as big as grapes emitted soft light as she looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She felt her previous death happened so she could meet this man, because this man was her soulmate. Because of him, there was her, Nian Nian, a unique Nian Nian, being spoiled, loved and pampered, belonging to Feng Yi Xuan.
Chapter 238 - 13 Yue Bing Yu’s Ruse
13 Yue Bing Yus Ruse
Young miss, Princess Bing Yu invites young miss to the Empresss pce to admire some flowers! Lan Qu reported the message the eunuch had passed along to Lan You Nian. As for what they will do, that was for young miss to decide.
Lan You Nian remembered Yue Bing Yu didnt say anything about the peace marriage after Feng Yi Xuans attack, but it seems she didnt intend to give up. Lan You Nian felt she must keep a close eye on Feng Yi Xuan to make sure he doesnt provoke anymore rotten peach blossoms.
Lan Qu, pull up my hair, Lan You Nian looked at her let down hair. She couldnt go into the pce like this, so she had Lan Qu style it. It was supposed to be Feng Yi Xuan who styled her hair but Lan You Nian was simply toozy to wake up from bed. It didnt matter if she had her hair down since she was in You Nian Pavilion. In Lan manor, there was no one supervising her and everyone spoiled her.
Young miss wants to go? Lan Wu entered the pavilion asking. She learned afterwards that someone coveted Prince Ming. She got so angry over this and even ignored An Yi for several days. As per Lan Wus words, Prince Ming made young miss unhappy, therefore, An Yi as Prince Mings shadow guard doesnt need to be happy either.
Go. Why wouldnt I go? Lan You Nian smiled joyfully at herself in the mirror. She dares to covet my man, I naturally have to go see if her guts is really that big! Lan You Nian said and headed out of You Nian Pavilion to give a blow to her love rival, though Yue Bing Yu couldnt be considered a love rival.
At this moment in the imperial pce, Yue Bai Lian was luxuriously attired in a pce gown as she sat on the masters seat. Yue Bing Yu was sitting below, looking at Yue Bai Lian. The eunuchs and pce maids were already dismissed by Yue Bai Lian, leaving only the two of them.
After the pce maids and eunuch withdrew from the room, Yue Bing Yu didnt pretend anymore as she stood up to look over the resplendent Empress pce and the exquisitely fine Yue Bai Lian. Yue Bing Yus lips curled into a malicious smile, Yo, such a short time has passed yet Imperial sister has already forgotten your identity, forgotten imperial father and Yue empire? Coming to Feng empire, besides for the peace marriage, she came at imperial fathers orders to teach this imperial sister a lesson. When imperial sister came to Feng empire, Imperial father only considered imperial sister a chess piece, and didnt expect to lose control of the chess piece.
Imperial father? Yue empire? Yue Bai Lian looked at the polished nails on her fingers, without a hint of being moved, Has Press Bing Yu forgotten this ones identity. My imperial father is the Supreme Emperor of Feng Empire. How can you forget? Yue empire? Ha, a married daughter is like thrown out water. This empress only knows I am Feng empires mother of the country. What does it have to do with Yue empire? For her, Yue empire only left to her painful memories and an unbearable past. She didnt want to have any connection with that ce.
Yue Bai Lian, you really think your wings are hard enough? You are able to sit on the throne of empress, isnt it because of your identity as princess of Yue empire? If you didnt have Yue empires support, do you think you can still have Feng empires emperors love and the supreme position of Empress? This princess will tell you, if you are sensible, then be obedient. Imperial father has me tell you, if you do not pass along information about Feng empire to Yue empire, Yue empire will no longer be your backing. You will struggle in Feng empire! Yue Bing Yu hissed. In the past, Yue Bai Lian living circumstances couldntpare to hers. She must have Yue Bai Lian listen to her.
Yue Bai Lian didnt show a hint of fear or anger as she listened to Yue Bing Yus words as she very naturally took a sip of the flower tea Lan You Nian sent over andzily opened her mouth, This empresss love and position of empress was given by His Majesty. What does it have to do with Yue empire? Princess Bing Yu is a princess who came for a peace marriage, yet you dare to order this empress around, who gave you the guts? Or hasnt Princess Bing Yu not seen Princess Qian Lings ending? Oh, I forgot to tell you, Princess Qian Lings ending was this empresss doing!
Hearing Yue Bai Lians inspoken admittance, Yue Bing Yu felt a hint of fear. She didnt expect Yue Bai Lian to be sopletely out of their Yue empires control. It looks like she must tell imperial father as soon as possible and have imperial father get rid of this ungrateful Yue Bai Lian. But at this moment, she had something more important to do.
If this princess tells this to imperial father, Yue Bai Lian, do you think you will be living well in the future? But if you do something for this princess, this princess will offer some kind words for you in front of imperial father! Yue Bing Yu stood in front of Yue Bai Lian, looking at Yue Bai Lian arrogantly as she felt she was much more nobler than Yue Bai Lian.
Yue Bai Lian now understood Yue Bing Yu needed her help on something. Yue Bai Lian thought Yue empire wanted to do something harmful to Feng empire so she pretended to be confused as she asked, What do you want this one to do? Yue Bai Lian felt if Yue empire really wanted to do something to Feng empire, she must tell Xia Qi because Feng empire was now her home.
Yue Bing Yus eyes shed with excitement. She knew it. How can Yue Bai Lian not be afraid? If a woman didnt have any backing, she would be nothing.
This princess wants your help to obtain Prince Ming! This princess wants to marry Prince Ming! Yue Bai Lian dered without shame without a sense of self-awareness that she said something hrious. Perhaps because Yue Bing Yu has always gotten her way, she had great confidence that she can marry Prince Ming.
Yue Bai Lian really didnt expect Yue Bing Yu to be so shameless to want her to help her. She and Xia Qi sat upon this seat only to protect their loved ones. Didnt she be the Empress to protect Nianer? But now Yue Bing Yu wanted to ruin Nianers happiness. Yue Bai Lian felt this Yue Bing Yu must be dealt with. A womans jealousy was a frightening thing.
Princess Bing Yu is simply too funny. Prince Ming is Lan junzhus fiance. Prince Ming himself said he will only have Lan junzhu. If Bing Yu knows yet still covets Prince Ming, this empress will inly tell you, if you dare to have any ideas about Feng empire, dont me this empress for disregarding familial love! Yue Bai Lian finished and had the pce maids and eunuchs return and had her personal handmaiden to receive Nianer.
You, really dont recognize whats good for you! Yue Bing Yu knew it was unlikely she was able to persuade Yue Bai Lian but she wont give up. There was an opportunity today. She must let Prince Ming loathe Lan You Nian and let Prince Ming see the real Lan You Nians face.
Lan You Nian brought Lan Qu into the imperial pce. Lan You Nian purposefully dressed herself today. She wore a pure white dress. Bright red silk thread was embroidered withplicated techniques into scattered spider lilies, seeming sparse and dense as it scattered high and low on the bottom of the skirt, following her footsteps as if a riotous profusion, as if it became alive. Around her waist girdled a tassel with a green jade pendant of crystal jade as if waves of light flowed through it. The outer cover was of a light purple with golden threads. Her simple dress was elegant and luxurious. The jewelry on her head was a strange flower pattern that Yue Bing Yu has never seen. From the glimmering pearls and gems, one can judge that a sinle one of the hairpins were extremely valuable.
Seeing Lan You Nians attire was even more luxurious and exquisite than hers, an empires princess, Yue Bing Yu wanted to go over to scratch at Lan You Nians face. But remembering her n for today, she forced it back. She refused to believe Prince Ming will like Lan You Nian then.
Nianer, youre here! Yue Bai Lian announced joyously and pulled Lan You Nians hand to sat together. The two were like the best of friends as they giggled and chatted. Yue Bai Lian didnt put up the air of an Empress.
Yue Bing Yu waited for a long time and didnt see either of them paying any attention to her, without saying a single word to her. Yue Bing Yu suppressed the rage inside to say, Her Majesty the Empress, can this princess speak alone with Lan junzhu?
Yue Bai Lian was about to refuse her without even considering it but Lan You Nian first interjected, Alright, since Princess Bing Yu wants to talk, this junzhu will apany you! Lan You Nian wanted to see what this woman wanted to do.
Yue Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian and knew Lan You Nian wouldnt change her mind once her decision was made. So Yue Bai Lian looked at Lan You Nian worriedly as she took the pce maids and eunuchs to walk around the imperial gardens. She was aware Lan You Nians martial arts were very good. Yue Bai Lian didnt see Yue Bing Yus maidservant heading out of the pce to deliver a message.
Lan You Nian sat in the seat of the Empress looking at Yue Bing Yu below. Princess Bing Yu should speak quickly. This junzhu is tired and wishes to rest! Saying this, she gave a yawn as if she was truly exhausted.
This princess wants you to leave Prince Ming and give out the position of Princess Consort Ming. If you are sensible, this princess wont mistreat you. If you are not, you will have nothing! Yue Bing Yu threatened.
You came looking for this junzhu to talk about this? Lan You Nian stood up, finding this topic dull and prepared to leave, You are so boring!
Halt! Yue Bing Yu shouted and picked up the porcin on the table to smash it onto the ground. She picked up the broken piece and sliced her own arm without blinking an eye. In an instant, Yue Bing Yus arm opened up with arge gash that bled out onto the ground.
Lan You Nian finally realized what this Yue Bing Yu wanted to do. She wanted to use the ruse of injury. It had to be said this Yue Bing Yu had some schemes. Ordinary women wouldnt bear to harm themselves to scheme against another. This Yue Bing Yu could be counted as a ruthless person.
At this time, Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian barged into the pce hall. Once Feng Yi Xuan received the news, he raced towards the Empresss pce, afraid Nian Nian will suffer any grievances, though he knew it was usually Nian Nian who made people suffer grievances.
As soon as Feng Yi Xuan entered the pce hall, he picked up Lan You Nian as he gingerly inspected Lan You Nian, Nian Nian, whats wrong? Are you hurt? This caring look made Feng Xia Qi and Yue Bai Lian speechless. Sure enough, Feng Yi Xuans eyes couldnt see anything besides Lan You Nian.
Lan junzhu, what do you want? I only admire Prince Ming. How can you hurt me? Yue Bing Yu saw Feng Yi Xuans disregard of her and felt hurt. She couldnt help from speaking out to startying me at Lan You Nians feet.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt bother with Yue Bing Yu while Lan You Nian was being held in Feng Yi Xuans arms happily eating some pastries as she watched that woman continue acting, which was practically better than professional actors.
Feng empires emperor, Prince Ming, shouldnt you give this princess an exnation? This princess is hurt by this vicious Lan junzhu. Is this your attitude towards a princess whose for a peace alliance? Arent you afraid... Yue Bing Yu ranted as sheined as she shot flirtatious looks at Feng Yi Xuan. Its a pity it was all a waste.
You scared Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan saw Lan You Nian drop her pastry from Yue Bing Yus sharp voice and heartlessly said to Yue Bing Yu.
Prince Ming, didnt you see what she did? She is a duplicitous woman. Dont be deceived by her! Yue Bing Yu shouted, feeling even more hurt. Why would Prince Ming believe that woman?
Do you believe I did it? Lan You Nian asked Feng Yi Xuan.
No!
How do you know?
If Nian Nian did it, it wouldnt be as simple as hurting her arm but dismemberment of that arm!
If I did it?
So what? You can do whatever you wish, as long as Nian Nian is happy!
Chapter 239 - 14 Yue Bing Yu’s Obsession
14 Yue Bing Yus Obsession
In the guest pce, Yue Bing Yu stared at herself in the mirror wailing as she smashed the mirror into pieces. Yue Bing Yus hair was scattered, without any makeup or smiles, appearing as horrifying as an evil ghost.
That other day she deliberately shed herself to make Prince Ming misunderstand Lan You Nian to make Lan You Nian upset so that Prince Ming will misunderstand Lan You Nian was a poisonous woman. What man in this world didnt like a gentle as water girl? So Yue Bing Yu felt she had good odds.
But Yue Bing Yu didnt expect that she was even willing to harm herself but didnt even get a nce or a question. More importantly, Prince Ming sent had her knocked unconscious and framed her for getting into a conflict with the Empress and wanting to harm the Empress and that it was Lan junzhus quick-wittedness that she was able to save the Empress. Not to speak of her wanting to harm Lan You Nian, she herself has be an object of hate. No matter who it was, they all looked at her as if she was a fool.
Princess? A pce maid fearfully knelt at Yue Bing Yus feet, enduring Yue Bing Yus beating and humiliation, not daring to have anyints. Every time the princess came back from outside and was unhappy, she will take it out on the personal maids. Many of her sisters were beaten to death by the princess.
Yue Bing Yu pped the pce maid, even picking up a broken shard from the ground and shing it on the pce maid. Hearing the pce maids cries and begs for mercy, she felt her mood lighten and the wound on her arm seemed to be less painful.
At this moment, a guard came in. Yue Bing Yu let go of the pce maid she nearly tortured to death. The guard brought a note to Yue Bing Yu, Reporting to the princess, an unknown person threw this note into the pce. Written on it is Prince Mings everyday whereabouts!
Yue Bing Yuughed joyfully as she looked at the note in her hand. She waved her hand to let the guard withdraw, her eyes shing with obstinacy. The first time she saw Prince Ming was on the battlefield. At that time, a war happened at Yue empire and Feng empires borders. As a princess, she should not go to such a ce but in order to catch everyones gaze and believe she was skilled schrly and militarily, she followed her imperial brother to the battlefield.
When Yue Bing Yu came to the battlefield and stood at the high city tower and saw that man who was like a god-back then Feng Yi Xuan was still in his teens, holding a sword as he ughtered many of Yue empires soldiers who surrounded him yet none could oppose him-clearly she should be angry and resent such a man killing their Yue empires soldiers but Yue Bing Yu reflected that cold and bloodthirsty figure into her heart.
Yue Bing Yu always felt she was the most beautiful and perfect woman int he world, so only the best man in the world was worthy of her. When she met Feng Yi Xuan, Yue Bing Yu felt she found that man. Its a pity that Feng Yi Xuan never knew her heart waspletely on him.
Yue Bing Yu has been waiting for an opportunity to be Prince Mings wife. Yet before she had this opportunity, she heard Prince Ming already had an official consort and even dered he will only have one woman. The second Yue Bing Yu heard this, she was afraid, so she begged imperial father to let here to Feng empire for the marriage alliance, all to obtain Feng Yi Xuan.
Someonee! Dress up this princess! Yue Bing Yu looked at the note written with Prince Ming will return to the manor after morning court. Yue Bing Yu felt this was an opportunity. She refused to believe a great beauty like her wont move Prince Mings heart.
After court, Feng Yi Xuan sat in Prince Ming manors carriage hurrying over to Prince Ming manor. If it wasnt because the current emperor was his imperial brother, he had no desire to attend court. To be able to see Nian Nians sleeping face every morning, how can he be willing to leave?
After passing a rather remote street, An Yi who was driving the carriage said to the master inside, Prince, theres a pquin blocking our carriage! An Yi was curious about who the person was to dare to block Prince Ming manors carriage in the capital. Usually whenever Prince Ming manors carriage passed by, no matter which familys pquin it was, they all let the way for theirs.
Charge through it! Feng Yi Xuans cold voice drifted from within. Prince Ming manors carriage was built from the best materials. It wasnt like ordinary carriages and would easily fall apart from a collision. Prince Ming manors carriage was practically invulnerable.
An Yi whipped the horse reins to charge over but didnt expect a tender voiceing from within the pink pquin, Prince Ming, this princess Bing Yu, can I invite Prince Ming for a meeting?
Once An Yi heard Princess Bing Yus voice, he felt extremely disgusted. How can this Princess Bing Yu be so shameless. She wasnt able to obtain the engagement and now blocked Prince Ming manors carriage in the middle of the street? She should take a look at herself. How can shepare to the Princess Consort?
Feng Yi Xuan heard the loathsome voice from outside and felt his mood worsen. He still needed to hurry to help Nian Nian dress. This crazy woman is preparing to die by blocking his way. Since it was so...
An Yi, lets go! Feng Yi Xuans voice carried a hint of displeasure.
Hearing this, An Yi charged at the pink pquin. Meanwhile, Yue Bing Yu was frightened as she was dragged out of the pquin by the guards. Prince Ming manors carriage directly smashed into the pquin. The pquin was smashed into pieces as the carriage stepped on the carriage as it flew by.
Yue Bing Yu didnt expect Prince Ming to really not give her any face. If she was slow a step, she would be injured and even die. The Prince Ming she liked didnt care at all, not giving her any time to listen to her speak. Why? Why?
Yue Bing Yu felt everything was Lan You Nians fault. She must kill Lan You Nian, must steal Prince Ming back and let Prince Ming beg her!
Princess Bing Yu is such a mess! Suddenly a mans voice drifted from over the wall. Yue Bing Yu looked over to see two men standing on the wall. One was Feng empires unfavored second prince Feng Shao Chu and the other was the prince hailing from Xue empire Xue Yu.
Yue Bing Yu thought of her disheveled appearance and shouted at the two, Scram! You two scram!
Tsk tsk, why must you like that monster? Why such a pretty woman always fall in love with that monster? Feng Shao Chu jumped off the wall to look at the disheveled Yue Bing Yu, his eyes shing with a potent unwillingness. Why does everyone treat that monster so well? Imperial father was so, these women were the same!
Princess Bing Yu shouldnt misunderstand. We are here to help! Xue Yu appeared in front of Yue Bing Yu, lending a hand to pull Yue Bing Yu up, a sinister air surrounding him.
Yue Bing Yu asked disbelievingly, You want to help this princess? Really?
Of course. Dont you want Prince Ming? As long as you kill of Lan junzhu, Prince Ming will see how good you are. Prince Ming will definitely fall in love with such a beautiful woman! Feng Shao Chu smiled but he had another consideration inside. Didnt that monster like Lan You Nian? If Lan You Nian died, lets see if hell continue to live. He wanted to get rid of every single person that monster cared for. He now had a very good helper and alliance.
Feng Shao Chu didnt expect to not be able to take down Feng Yi Xuan them after he colluded with Consort Tao and actually let Feng Xia Qi ascend the throne quicker. He was alreadypletely out of hope. He didnt expect this Xue empires prince to find him to coborate to get rid of Feng Yi Xuan. Perhaps he had no chances but if he had the alliance with Xue empire, it was possible. And now he had a brainless princess didnt he?
Kill Lan You Nian! Right! As long as I kill Lan You Nian, Prince Ming will fall in love with this princess! Yue Bing Yu dered. But after a moment, she said in vexation, How can I kill her? This princess doesnt have any way to kill that Lan You Nian!
Xue Yu leaned on the mottled wall, saying to Yue Bing Yu, Dont you have us? Xue Yus motive ining to Feng Empire was Prince Ming but he found it was difficult to get close to Prince Ming. His martial arts was too powerful. They couldnt do anything. But its a good thing Prince Ming had an obvious weakness. Once they get rid of this weakness, they would be able to give Prince Ming a huge blow. If Feng empire didnt have such an outstanding Prince Ming, what was there to fear?
Why would you help this princess? What do you want? Yue Bing Yu demanded cautiously. Though she was rash, she wasnt stupid. What woman whos survived the imperial pce didnt have some schemes? Though she wanted to obtain Feng Yi Xuan, these people might not have good intentions.
Us? We dont want anything. We only have some strife with Lan manor. If Princess Bing Yu doesnt trust us, then think of us being nosy. Well leave! Xue Yu and Feng Shao Chu said preparing to leave.
Though Yue Bing Yu was suspicious they didnt have any good intentions, she wanted Feng Yi Xuan even more. She hastily stopped the two, This princess agrees to the coboration with you. How will you help this princess?
Its simple... Xue Yu smirked as he leaned over to Yue Bing Yus ears, taking out something to give to Yue Bing Yu. then, he and Feng Shao Chu left the remote street, leaving Yue Bing Yu alone standing there, gripping tightly to the object in her hand. Her face was drawn with a twisted smile and madness.
Is this okay? If it was found out... Feng Shao Chu looked at the mad Yue Bing Yu in worry.
Xue Yu smirked, his eyes shed with mockery, Even if it was found it, it was Yue Bing Yus doing. What does it have to do with us?
Right right! Xue empires Prince Yu is right! Feng Shao Chu was convinced as heughed out loud.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian werepletely unaware that there were people currently scheming against them. Feng Yi Xuan hastened over to You Nian Pavilion and saw Nian Nian, who he missed even for a second, was still nestled in the bed, only showing her head, so endearing it made one want to take a bite.
Feng Yi Xuan sat down by the bed. Lan You Nian reached out a hand to hug Feng Yi Xuans waist, in a drowsy voice, Come back from court?
En! Feng Yi Xuan nodded and helped Lan You Nian dress, gingerly putting on Lan You Nians socks and shoes.
Why are you sote? Lan You Nian asked, unconcerned. In the past, Feng Yi Xuan usually came back much earlier from court. Today it was a bitte.
Met someone blocking the road on the way! Feng Yi Xuan said with loathing, But its nothing. Dont worry!
When are those delegates leaving? Lan You Nian asked coquettishly. With that princess who covets her man there, Lan You Nian wasnt in a good mood.
I will make arrangements to make them scram!
Chapter 240 - 15 Nian Nian Poisoned
15 Nian Nian Poisoned
Lan You Nian and Feng Yi Xuan walked into the pce hall.
Yue Bing Yu sat there and Feng YI Xuan and Lan You Nian walk into the hall, her gaze was stuck to Feng Yi Xuan. When her gaze didnt receive any response, Yue Bing Yus gaze turned from infatuation into resentment.
Yue Bing Yu squeezed the object on her. She looked at Xue empires prince Xue Yu and Feng empires prince Feng Shao Chu with panic. The two offered Yue Bing Yu a reassuring look but when they lowered their eyes, they shed with an unknown emotion.
Once the two took their seat, Emperor Feng Xuan led the Empress into the pce hall. Lan You Nian attended this pce banquet merely because she and Feng Yi Xuan received news that said this Xue empires delegate was strange so the two came to take a look. After taking their seats, they noticed there was something strange about Xue empires prince and there was also something wrong with Feng Shao Chu.
Xuan, this Feng Shao Chu no longer has any power but as long as he lives, he is a time bomb. So if we have the chance, its best to get rid of him. Otherwise, one day thered be some trouble! Lan You Nian reminded. This Feng Shao Chu was not a good person. Lan You Nian liked to cut grass at its roots. However, Lan You Nian understood Feng Xia Qis motive. Feng Xia Qi has ascended the throne but Feng empire doesnt have many princesses and princes left. If Feng Shao Chu died, Feng Xia Qi would endure the reputation of a tyrant. But Lan You Nian believed that reputation couldntpare to ones life.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded. He knew of this matter. But the one who ascended the throne was his imperial brother. He handed the matter for his imperial brother to handle. He couldnt help his imperial brother do everything. What would be the meaning of imperial brothers position then?
I know. Dont worry. He wont jump for long! Feng Yi Xuan poured a cup of tea for Lan You Nian and tested out the temperature before handing it to Lan You Nian. If it wasnt in the public, Feng Yi Xuan would directly feed her.
At this moment, Yue Bing Yu stood. She curtsied to Lan You Nian, This princess will return to Yue empire today but after some consideration, this princess wishes to apologize for causing trouble for Lan junzhu a few days ago. Today this princess wants to apologize to Lan junzhu. I hope Lan junzhu can be magnanimous and be forgiving!
Lan You Nians eyes shed as her longshes hid the confusion in her eyes. Lan You Nian didnt believe Yue Bing Yu was a woman who can have a realization in an instant and could apologize in public. Hence, there must be some kind of scheme or some other benefit.
Lan You Nian didnt answer. She wanted to know what Yue Bing Yu wanted to do. Though Lan You Nian knew it was difficult for Yue Bing Yu to scheme against her, Lan You Nian wasnt one to underestimate another. She didnt want to give herself some unknown danger. But Lan You Nian was unable to evade today...
Is Lan junzhu unwilling? Yue Bing Yu looked at Lan You Nian with upset. Her gaze made the goosebumps rise on Lan You Nian.
This princess came for a marriage alliance but Feng empires Emperor already has the Empress. This princess isnt willing to force it. Because this princess has admired Prince Ming, because I liked Prince Ming too much, I was jealous of Lan junzhu. But this princess has thought it over. Love cant be forced. This princess has thought it through. This princess will use tea in ce of wine to drink to Lan junzhu. I hope this princess and Lan junzhu can wipe away all unhappiness between us. Feng empire and our Yue Empire can always be allies! Yue Bing Yu dered as she poured a cup of tea and slowly came over to Lan You Nians table, very aggrieved as she looked at Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nians lips curled. She didnt expect this Yue Bing Yus mouth to be so extraordinary. If she didnt drink this tea, it would be nothing but Yue Bing Yu has dragged the rtionship between the two empires into this as well as admitted to her grievances. If she isnt sensible, who knows what looks she will receive. The one sitting on the throne was Feng Xia Qi. She couldnt be willful and disregard Feng empire.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan frowned as he looked at Lan You Nian. Even though he didnt say anything, Lan You Nian understood what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to express. Feng Yi Xuan didnt want her to suffer grievances, to let her do whatever she wanted. No one was allowed to bully her.
Lan You Nian shot Feng Yi Xuan a reassuring look. She didnt feel temporarily yielding was suffering any grievance. Since she considered these people her family, Feng empire was her home. No matter what, she cant give another empire a reason to attack Feng empire. Even if there is a problem between the two empires, it shouldnt drag herself in.
How is that possible? Though this junzhu is petty, Im not that petty! Lan You Nian stood to ept the tea in Yue Bing Yus hand. Lan You Nian leaned close to Yue Bing Yu and caught the scent of a strange fragrance. Lan You Nian didnt overthink and only thought it was some perfume Yue Bing Yu wore.
After Lan You Nian epted the cup, Yue Bing Yu became excited. She feared Lan You Nian was able to see her slip and lowered her head to show her seriousness and didnt attract any attention.
Feng Shao Chus eyes shed with fierce vengefulness. The hand under the table started to shake. He can finally let Feng Yi Xuan feel pain. Xue Yu fiddled with the cup in his hand but if one were to look carefully one could tell his eyes were focused on Lan You Nian.
After Lan You Nian epted the teacup, she noticed there was a type of poison in the tea. But Lan You Nians body was immune to most poisons, so Lan You Nian didnt give it much thought and drank from it. But at this moment, Lan You Nian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood...
Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan shouted and pulled Lan You Nian into his arms. Lan You Nian was in extreme pain, like every time her poison red up. She was unable to speak. Her deathly pale face and the seat on her face disyed her pain.
Though Lan You Nian was in extreme pain, she couldnt helpmenting inside. She didnt expect she could lose in the field of poison. She caught the scent of poison in Yue Bing Yus fragrance. There is poison in the tea as well. These two poisons, once ingested by someone, will cause death in seven days unknowingly. This poison was known as Seven Day Death Powder. Lan You Nian has forgotten the poison in her body. Hence, she Seven Day Death Powder caused her poison to re up. Once these two poisons attacked together, if it wasnt because Lan You Nian has eaten many rare and precious treasures and soaked in a medicinal bath, she would have already died that instant.
Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan who was in pain and in panic. His eyes were filled with red. Lan You Nian wanted to tell him, tell him not to worry. She feared she couldnt hold on but Lan You Nian wasnt able to say anything. She can only watch as Feng Yi Xuans face fill with horror as she closed her eyes.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Nian Nians pained look. Even if she was in pain, she still gently looked at him. He saw Nian Nian close her eyes. Feng Yi Xuanpletely panicked. Even though he could hear Nian Nians breathing, his eyes were as savage as a wild animals, filling with a bloodthirsty hostility. The handsome face became twisted and unrecognizable. The moment he saw Nian Nian vomit blood, his heart seemed to be sliced by a knife, a heart-piercing pain.
Yue Bing Yu was frightened. Feng Shao Chu and Xue Yu told her this poison needed seven days to take effect but why would Lan You Nian suddenly vomit blood? Yue Bing Yu was afraid of seeing such a horrifying Feng Yi Xuan. Yue Bing Yu felt afraid.
Feng Yi Xuan carefully held Lan You Nian and looked at the instigator, Yue Bing Yu. Those eyes were filled with sinister, savage, and bloodthirsty and murderous killing air as if he wanted to kill thousands.
No, no, its not my fault... Yue Bing Yu wanted to retreat in fear. Her infatuation was all gone, only leaving her fear and horror. She wanted to run far away and not provoke such a man.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed with bloodthirstiness and violence. With a wave of his hand, his internal force shot at Yue Bing Yu. There came the sound of Yue Bing Yus bones crushing, making peoples hearts tremble, staring with wide eyes. They only saw Yue Bing Yus flesh open, her eyes bulged and the skin and flesh on her face split apart as she spat out blood. She didnt make a sound and lost her breath, her body tumbling onto the ground, curving into an awkward angle, like a boneless snake. Even those who didnt understand martial arts knew her bones must have been crushed.
Everyone was frightened by Feng Yi Xuans bloody aura and unblinking attitude when killing. None dared to utter a word even if Feng Yi Xuan wanted to kill a princess that came for a marriage alliance.
AXuan... Feng Xia Qi looked anxiously at Lan You Nian in Feng Yi Xuans arms. He knew he could step closer. Feng Xia Qi knew if he stepped any closer, Feng Yi Xuan who was imed by the demons in his heart will him.
Lan Jian Jun and the others could tell there was something wrong with Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans entire person seemed to be filled with darkness. If someone stepped forward to take a look at Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan will start his ughter. Even if he harmed innocents, he wont withdraw.
AXuan, Nianer is fine. She can be saved. Wake up. Nianer needs you! Feng Xia Qi endured the force of Feng Yi Xuans attack. Even if he was severely injured, when he saw Lan You Nian lying in Feng Y Xuans arms like a lifeless porcin doll, Feng Xia Qis hurt so much he wanted to cry.
Because of Feng Xia Qis words, Feng Yi Xuan instantly came to his senses. He tightened his arms around Lan You Nian, afraid shell leave him the moment he let go. He then used qinggong to race over to the Medical Valley.
Unexpectedly, before Feng Yi Xuan could step out of the capital, he encountered Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi. Gui Yi Zi has already developed the antidote to Lan You Nians poison and came personally to tell Lan You Nian this good news so they can search for the ingredients for the antidote. Gui Yi Zi didnt expect to see the nearly mad Feng Yi Xuan and weak Lan You Nian who practically has no breath.
Chapter 241 - 16 Nian Nian Unconscious
16 Nian Nian Unconscious
Save her! Save Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan looked at Gui Yi Zi as if he was seeing his savior. It was the first time Feng Yi Xuan used an imploring tone to plead another person, all for the woman in his arms.
Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi were stunned by Feng Yi Xuan who emanated a bloodthirsty aura. With a look at Lan You Nian in Feng Yi Xuans arms, Gui Yi Zi appeared by Feng Yi Xuans side in an instant and fastened onto Lan You Nians pulse.
Lets go! Gui Yi Zi said. At this moment, little Nianer needed a calm environment and couldnt endure being jolted around. He needed to carefully inspect her. Being poisoned wasnt a small matter. Gui Yi Zi can already tell little Nianers body beginning to copse on itself.
Hearing Gui Yi Zis words, Feng Yi Xuan returned to Prince Ming Manor like a gust of wind. With crimson eyes, Feng Yi Xuan gingerly set Lan You Nian onto the bed. Listening to Lan You Nians faint, barely discernible heartbeats, Feng Yi Xuan felt as if his heart was being controlled by the weak heartbeats. If the heartbeat stops, it will be his time of death.
Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi followed into the room. Feng Yi Xuan was sitting by Lan You Nians side, holding Lan You Nians delicate hands, refusing to let go, as if no one and nothing would be able to separate them, not even death.
Gui Yi Zi took a careful look at Lan You Nians pulse. In that instant, outside Prince Ming Manors room stood full of those who cared for Lan You Nian. Whether it was Feng Xia Qi or Yue Bai Lian, they all abandoned matters in the pce toe over. Lan Jian Jun and the others stood there motionlessly as they stared into the room. They knew they cant go in because they already saw Feng Yi Xuans ughtering in the pce. They were not only worried about Lan You Nians poison, they worried about Feng Yi Xuans demons.
When Gui Yi Zi put down Lan You Nians wrist, Feng Yi Xuan asked anxiously, How is it? Whats wrong with Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuan really hated himself for not learning medicine. That way he can pay close attention to Nian Nians poison every moment, so he wouldnt be so helpless.
Gui Yi Zi sighed, and looked at Lan You Nian tenderly. He treated her as dear as his own granddaughter.
Little Nianer is poisoned by Seven Day Death. This poison should be useless against Nianer but little Nianers body is already suppressing a toxic poison. This poisoning has caused the poison in little Nianers body to re up, hence why little Nianer is unconscious. This old man can only do his best to hold little Nianer life for a month. If within this month there isnt an antidote, Im afraid little Nianer... Gui Yi Zi could bear to say the rest. Thest remaining two antidotes couldnt be obtained by ordinary people.
Feng Yi Xuan vomited a mouthful of blood with Gui Yi Zis words. The blood was slightly ckened. Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart hurt, it hurt so much that it was hard to breath. Does his Nian Nian hurt? Is it very painful? Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart hurt more.
Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi were stunned by Feng Yi Xuans vomiting blood. As two doctors, they were able to tell why. Because the heart is too pained so he would vomit blood. Vomiting blood was actually good in this case; otherwise, it would cause internal injuries if it was held back.
Has the antidote been developed? Feng Yi Xuan looked to Gui Yi Zi in expectation. If Gui Yi Zi nodded, no matter what price or how much money he must pay, he will find the needed medicinal herbs. If Gui Yi Zi shook his head, Feng Yi Xuan wasnt afraid either. Because he will apany Nian Nian, even in hell. Its only unfortunate that they werent able to get married. There were still many things they havent done.
Gui Yi Zi nodded. Feng Yi Xuans eyes lit up. This was hopes light. Though weak it was, it dispersed the scarlet redness in his purple eyes. The devilish air has been retracted.
What do you need? Feng Yi Xuan asked hastily. Wasting a single second was a danger to Nian Nians life. Feng Yi Xuan didnt dare to risk it.
Gui Yi Zi didnt say anything. Gui Yi can tell Feng Yi Xuans anxiety. He too was anxious inside. He said, We just need two herbs. One is Heavenly Celestial Grass. This was a rare herb thats hard to find in a thousand years. The other is a seven-colored snow lotus that grows on the Snow Mountain. ording to the historical records, only one person has been able to pluck a seven-colored snow lotus all these years.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded and shouted to An Yi outside. After a moment, An Yi rushed up. Usually, An Yi wouldnt enter Feng Yi Xuans room but Feng Yi Xuan was unwilling to leave Lan You Nian even for a second. Hence, An Yi could only enter the room.
Find any information about the whereabouts of Heavenly Celestial Grass and Seven-Colored Snow Lotus! Immediately! Feng Yi Xuans voice carried a dull hostility. An Yi immediately left the room. From masters look, he knew there was a way to save the matriarch.
From looking at Feng Yi Xuan, Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi knew they should leave to give the two some time alone. After such a thing has happened, the one who felt the worst was likely Feng Yi Xuan. If he didnt feel terrible, why would his eyes be red and vomit blood?
Hows Nianer? Is there a problem? Gui Yi Zi and Gui Yi left the room and was surrounded by a crowd. They all looked them the two of them in panic as if afraid they would hear some bad news. Lan Jian Jun pulled anxiously on Gui Yi Zis cor, afraid hell say something he was unwilling to hear. If something happens to his daughter, he will have no hope. Hed be better off going down to apany his wife.
Seeing these people truly care about little Nianer, Gui Yi Zi felt very gratified. From the very start, he was afraid little Nianer would suffer some grievances in the capital. He hoped the little girl who was unwilling to speak could have friends. She now had friends and family yet sheid there unmoving. Gui Yi Zis eyes became red.
Whats wrong? Seeing Gui Yi Zis red eyes, Yue Bai Lian couldnt support herself as her legs became jelly, falling into Feng Xia Qis arms. She has performed in Xiao Jin Pavilion, came to Feng empire for a marriage alliance and now has married Feng Xia Qi, all for Lan You Nian. If something happens to Lan You Nian, what is the meaning of everything she did?
Gui Yi knew his master felt awful inside and was unable to speak so he stood out to exin, Little sister is poisoned by Seven Day Death which triggered the poison in her body. Though master has developed the antidote, master can only keep little juniors life on hold for a month. If in this one month the antidote cant be found, then little junior sister...
Gui Yi felt awful inside. He wasnt able to say the word die. He was aware of how rare the Heavenly Celestial Grass and Seven Colored Snow Lotus were. With the Medical Valleys background, they were unable to see these two herbs. These two herbs only existed in the historical records and never heard any news of it.
What do you need? Feng Xia Qi and the rest anxiously demanded. No matter what it was, even if they must steal it, they will obtain it. They were all unscrupulous people. For their loved ones, so what if they had to kill?
From their gaze, Gui Yi knew they were giving themselves hope. Even if this hope was uncertain, they stillforted themselves inside. Gui Yi couldnt bear to say anything and told them what the two herbs were. With so many people looking for it, there was a greater hope.
At this moment in the room, Feng Yi Xuan pulled off his outer robes andid beside Lan You Nian, looking at Lan You Nian who was unconscious. Feng Yi Xuan stroked Lan You Nians deathly pale face. Those pair of brilliant eyes were tightly shut. The pale lips no longer called his name and act coquettishly with him. Feng Yi Xuan pressed his slightly cold lips onto Lan You Nians, gently kissing her as if using up all his gentleness.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuans voice held a rare frailness. He tried hard to kiss Lan You Nian, hoping Lan You Nian will hazily open her eyes like every time he kissed her hope and softly call out Xuan. But no matter how much Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nian, her lips were still cold. Her eyes were stilled closed, as if she wanted to forever sleep like this.
I will save you. You cant leave me... Feng Yi Xuan murmured as he kissed her. He was really afraid, If you wake up, lets get married immediately okay? If you really can bear to leave me, even if it means going to hell, I wont let go. Even in hell, I will pamper you and give you the best! What do you say? Without hearing a reply, Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians shut eyes, his voice soft, If you dont answer, that means you agree. Nian Nian, you must remember you are mine. You can only be mine, Feng Yi Xuans. Wherever you go, you cant abandon me!
Today the entire pugilistic world and court rose with waves, not for anything else but searching for two herbs. The Ghost Realm and Wu Qing Pavilion of the pugilistic world as well as the Medical Valley as well as the titled number one vi expended all efforts to search for the two herbs whereabouts. At court, whether it was the Emperor or the General or Marquis, they all started to search for it...
Knock knock! Gui Yi Zi looked at the door that hasnt been opened for an entire day and night. Besides An Yiing into the room to report the findings with the herbs, the other times, they didnt see Feng Yi Xuan say another word.
Gui Yi Zi knew Feng Yi Xuan wasnt good with words, so he can only said, Stinky brat, I brought the medicine in. We must cure Nianers Seven Day Death Powder first! Gui Yi Zi made the antidote without resting. No matter the results, they all did their best.
The doors were opened by internal force. Gui Yi Zi entered and found Feng Yi Xuan holding little Nianer as they slept on the bed, as if he hasnt moved at all. It made peoples noses inexplicably sour. Gui Yi Zi put the medicine on the table and instructed, Feed it to little Nianer! Then, he left the room, no longer bothering the two of them.
Feng Yi Xuan rose from the bed and came over to the table to pick up the bowl and fed it to himself. Then, he gently supported Lan You Nian, exchanging a mouthful of medicine. After a while, Feng Yi Xuan finished feeding the whole bowl. Feng Yi Xuan continued toy by Lan You Nian, as if Lan You Nian didnt wake up, he will continue.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan whispered, like every day he would often whisper Lan You Nians voice. The deep affection in his voice was moving.
Chapter 242 - 17 Searching for Medicinal Herbs
17 Searching for Medicinal Herbs
Master! An Yi stood outside the room, shouting in excitement, We found the whereabouts of the Heavenly Celestial Grass and Seven Colored Snow Lotus!
They used all their forces as well as Wu Qing Pavilions cooperation, as well as the forces in court to search and were able to find the whereabouts of the two herbs within two days. Otherwise, it would take a long time. Master has spent two days with the matriarch without uttering a word. They were really afraid if they didnt find the medicine, master will sleep forever like the matriarch.
When Feng Yi Xuan heard An Yis words, his dead eyes recovered some of their brightness. Feng Yi Xuan shifted his numb body and gentlyid a kiss on Lan You Nians forehead before leaving the room. The two days of being motionless made Feng Yi Xuan almost tumble. Feng Yi Xuan staggered before recovering and opened the door to the room and saw An Yi and them waiting outside.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt say a word but An Yi immediately reported the investigated results to him, Master, Heavenly Celestial Grass is in Hua empire. It is in Hua empires imperial pce. It is an emperors inherited celestial grass. It is tightly guarded and it is difficult to find where it is kept. We are only certain it is in the pce. The Seven Colored Snow Lotus is in the north Snow Peak but no one has been able toe down alive from there. On the Snow Peak, everything is unknown.
Though An Yi didnt dare to say it, Feng Yi Xuan knew it in his heart. The Snow Peak was very far from here. Even by horseback, it will take a month, much less to climb the snow peak and pluck the snow lotus. There wasnt enough time. But Feng Yi Xuan wont give up. As for the Heavenly Celestial Grass, Feng Yi Xuan had another idea.
Feng Yi Xuan took out a brush and paper and wrote a letter. He then handed it to An Er, Hand this letter personally to Hua empires Crown Prince. Let Hua Empires Crown Prince take the Heavenly Celestial Grass. If he is willing, no matter what price, agree to it all, besides Nian Nian... If Hua Xiu Yi wanted power or wealth or such things, Feng Yi Xuan was willing to give it to him, besides Nian Nian. Feng Yi Xuan knew there wasnt enough time to go to Hua empire to get the Heavenly Celestial Grass. If he had the shadow guards go, they wouldnt be able to get the Heavenly Celestial Grass. The only one able to get the Heavenly Celestial Grass is Hua Xiu Yi.
This... An Er was a little worried. Hua Xiu Yi was a cunning person. With his personality of opposing master, would he help master? Besides, Heavenly Spirit Grass wasnt an ordinary herb. Hua Xiu Yi and Hua empires emperor had a cold rtionship. Would Hua Xiu Yi do such a thankless task?
Just go! After you get the Heavenly Celestial Grass, you must keep it safe and bring it to master! Feng Yi Xuan instructed. Though he never liked Hua Xiu Yi, that is he didnt like any man or woman who coveted Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan could tell from the visit to Jiangnan that though Hua Xiu Yi liked Nian Nian, he didnt intend to steal Nian Nian. Hence, he knew Hua Xiu Yi would help. Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt let Hua Xiu Yi help without pay. No matter what, he was grateful to Hua Xiu Yi. He will help Hua Xiu Yi obtain Hua empires throne.
Feng Yi Xuan was a good judge of character. He was able to guess peoples thoughts. Feng Yi Xuan was certain Hua Xiu Yi would help. Naturally, he made other arrangements. If Hua Xiu Yi didnt help, he could still get the Heavenly Celestial Grass. But the chances of sess were low. They dont have time to waste. Nian Nians body can only hold on for twenty or so days.
Yes! An Er immediately departed. As the subordinates, they knew time was life. They knew if something were to happen to the matriarch, master will most likely follow. Two lives were hanging on the line.
Feng Yi Xuan started arranging the following matters. He said to An Yi, An San and An Si stay in the capital to protect Nian Nian. This prince hopes there is no ident when I return.
Feng Yi Xuan had to separate from Nian Nian for a month. Nian Nian was already unconscious. Her safety was the most important. Feng Yi Xuan wants to arrange Ghost Realms people toe over and to increase the guards in Prince Ming manor.
An Yi mobilize some manpower. We will departter! Feng Yi Xuan returned to the room. Going to the Snow Peak to pluck the seven colored snow lotus was a dangerous thing, so only he can go do it. His martial arts was the best. Though he wanted to apany Nian Nian, he knew what needed to be done. If he can obtain the snow lotus, everything would be good. If he cant and died at the Snow Peak, he will have An Yi bring his body over to be with Nian Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan walked into the room and looked at the sleeping Lan You Nian. His eyes shed with pain and tenderness. Feng Yi Xuan gently held Lan You Nian in his arms. His eyes were unblinking as he looked at the girl in his arms, his voice soft, Nian Nian, I must go to the Snow Peak to get the Seven colored snow lotus. I wont be able to be with you for some time. You must be obedient and remember to wait for me toe back, understand? Nian Nian, you must promise me, dont leave me...
Feng Yi Xuan rambled on for a long while and trembled as he kissed Lan You Nians lips. He was finally able to control himself from turning back and left the room, so Feng Yi Xuan didnt see the moment he left the room, a tear dripped down the corner of Lan You Nians eye.
Feng Yi Xuan walked out of the room and looked at Gui Yi Zi and his five disciples standing there. Feng Yi Xuan nodded to Gui Yi Zi, Master, I will go to the Snow Peak. I must bother you to care for Nian Nian!
Gui Yi Zi was like an elder as he patted Feng Yi Xuans shoulder. His voice was stern, Stinky brat what are you saying? This old man will naturally look after Nianer. You muste back alive Gui Yi Zi understood the dangers of the Snow Peak so Feng Yi Xuan was practically offering up his life.
I will! Feng Yi Xuan stated in determination. Nian Nian was still waiting here for him. Why wouldnt he return?
Feng Yi Xuan prepared to leave. Nian Nian was stillying there. The north Snow Peak was too far. He must hurry to the north. Feng Yi Xuan was called by Gui Yi Zi. Pointing at Gui Yi and Gui Si, he said, They will go with you. Gui Yi knows how to protect the seven colored snow lotus. Gui Sis martial arts is pretty good. He can be of some help to you. As for the manor, you dont need to worry. This old man will take care of little Nianer. Gui Er them can protect Prince Ming Manors safety. You only need to focus on getting the seven colored snow lotus!
Feng Yi Xuan felt Gui Yi Zis arrangement was good. He knew there was no need for thanks. These people were Nian Nians family and his family as well. Now something has happened to Nian Nian, they all want to offer their help. Feng Yi Xuan understood this. Feng Yi Xuan nodded and shot one final look at the room before leaving Prince Ming Manor.
Feng Yi Xuan left Prince Ming manor and rushed north without stopping. Even his steed Zui Feng couldnt endure Feng Yi Xuans nonstop riding day and night. On the road, Feng Yi Xuan changed horses, even exhausting several horses to death. Following Feng Yi Xuan on the road, Gui Yi and Gui Si as well as An Yi, though their martial arts were good, they couldnt endure it. But none of them said anything. All of them knew the importance of time.
While journeying on the road, Feng Yi Xuans body quickly lost weight. On the road, he didnt say a word. His entire air was colder than the snow. Feng Yi Xuan made everyone aware he was at the edge of copse. The only thing keeping him going was Lan You Nian.
Gui Yi and Gui Si can see the mans love for their little junior sister. The passionate feeling moved all of them. Feng Yi Xuan was like a madman as he raced on the road, making them feel awful inside. If their little junior sister can pass this difficulty, they will give their blessings. Such a man like this was hard to find in the world.
While Feng Yi Xuan was desperately rushing on the road, An Er already arrived in Hua empire. An Er came to Crown Prince Manor without stopping. He took out the letter to have someone give it to the Crown Prince and asked for an audience. He came with a request so An Er strictly stood outside Crown Prince manor waiting.
After a moment, An Er was brought into Crown Prince manor. When An Er saw Hua Xiu Yi, he noticed Hua Xiu Yis tiredness. An Er knew Hua Xiu Yi was currently fighting for power with his imperial father, so one can imagine his stress. An Er had to admire Hua Xiu Yis abilities. If other peoples power was given by the Emperor, one can see Hua Xiu Yis capabilities when Hua Xiu Yi is able to counter the Emperors oppression.
When Hua Xiu Yi saw An Er, he asked, What happened to her? Hua Xiu Yi originally nned to wait after everything in Hua empire was taken care of, he will go to Feng empire to take a look. Though it was unfortunate that such a girl wasnt his, Hua Xiu Yi didnt have any resentment, only disheartened.
Princess Consort has fallen unconscious... An Er has hidden anything as he told Hua Xiu Yi of Lan You Nian being poisoned, as well that they needed Heavenly Celestial Grass, because this was ordered by the prince. There was no need for any concealment.
Hua Xiu Yi didnt feel well inside. He didnt expect the spirited girl to beying there with her life and death unknown. He didnt expect that girl to be suffering from poison for so many years. Hua Xiu Yi felt his heart really ached for that crafty girl, even if he had no position to feel this way.
You can stay here for a few days. This crown prince will bring the Heavenly Celestial Grass for you to take back! Hua Xiu Yi said without considering it. He knew Lan You Nian was the light that attracted him. Even if he stepped into danger, Hua Xiu Yi would have no hesitation.
An Er felt his impression of Hua Xiu Yi change. He didnt expect Hua empires crown prince would be willing to help without mentioning any demands. This wasnt a small request. But An Er still said what his master told him, Crown Prince Hua, if you can bring the Heavenly Celestial Grass, besides the princess consort, our prince is willing to do anything for the crown prince!
Hua Xiu Yi smiled bitterly. This Feng Yi Xuan was still so tyrannical. Even if Feng Yi Xuan didnt say so, he wouldnt loot a burning house. Hua Xiu Yi knew if he used this to threaten Feng Yi Xuan, it was very possible Feng Yi Xuan would sacrifice himself to take him down with his temper. He really wanted to save Lan You Nian. The reason wasnt for benefits.
Ha, well talk about demandster. You live in Crown Prince manor first. This crown prince will bring the Heavenly Celestial Grass! Hua Xiu Yi instructed and left for the Heavenly Celestial Grass, leaving An Er to stay in Crown Prince manor. If Hua Xiu Yi wasnt able to obtain the Heavenly Celestial Grass in three days, before he left master instructed even if he had to ughter through Hua empires imperial pce, he must take the Heavenly Celestial Grass.
Chapter 243 - 18 Snowy Peaks
18 Snowy Peaks
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the horse that was about to copse and prepared to grab another horse to continue on the road.
At this time, An Yi passed along a note to his master. Written on the notice was only the current daily status of the matriarch. Even if the message sent over was the same, master still looked over it seriously. Today An Yi noticed the masters mood became better.
How? Gui Yi urged the horse over to Feng Yi Xuan. After hurrying on the road for ten days, Gui Yis entire person was a mess. His white robes were dusty all over but none of them felt anything.
Though Gui Si didnt put his anxiety on his face, the anxiety in his eyes couldnt be hidden. Gui Si took the chance of Feng Yi Xuan stopping to take a sip of water. Over the course of several days, they practically didnt have a chance to rest. If it wasnt for their powerful martial arts, they would have already fallen.
This was the first time Feng Yi Xuan uttered a word after so many days. His voice was low and hoarse but filled with joy, An Yi already obtained Heavenly Celestial Grass! Even though Feng Yi Xuan arranged everything very well, anything that concerned Nian Nians safety, Feng Yi Xuan was always worried. He was certain that Hua Xiu Yi would help but he knew it would be difficult for Hua Xiu Yi to take Heavenly Celestial Grass from Hua empires emperor. Thus, Feng Yi Xuan has been worried all this while. The gloominess in his heart has dispersed somewhat. Now they onlycked the seven colored snow lotus.
Depart! Feng Yi Xuan grabbed a good horse from a tavern and set off immediately. They were already very close to the snow peak. Behind, though the others were exhausted, every one of them didnt have anyints as they followed Feng Yi Xuan and set off immediately. If they were any slower, they would be able to catch up to Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan, at this very moment, hurried on the road with total disregard to his life. He was only one person. No matter how powerful his martial arts was, no matter how persevering his heart was, he would get tired. Whenever Feng Yi Xuan felt tired and unable to continue onward, Feng Yi Xuan would take out the pouch at his waist for a look. The many days of hurrying on the road made Feng Yi Xuans entire person seem disheveled. His usually clean clothes due to his obsessive cleanliness were already nketed with dust. Compared to the dust-covered clothes, Feng Yi Xuans pouch around his waist was very clean, so clean that not a speck of dust touched it.
Nian Nian, wait for me! Feng Yi Xuan stroked the pouch, one hand gripping the stiff road driving the horse to the snow peak...
At this moment at Hua empires Crown Prince Manor, after Hua Xiu Yi handed the Heavenly Celestial Grass to An Er, his whole person fell suddenly without any warning. The people of Crown Prince Manor were stunned. In an instant, Crown Prince Manor was total chaos. Whether it was the guard or the maids, they all trembled as they knelt in the courtyard of Crown Prince manor. If something were to happen to Crown Prince, none of them would be able to escape me.
Shadow guard AMu swiftly found an imperial doctor to treat the Crown Prince. The entire Crown Prince Manor was controlled by their own people, afraid to let any bad news pass through. That way the Crown Prince will be the passive party.
Imperial doctor, how is the Crown Prince? Hua Xiu Yis shadow guard AMu looked at the imperial doctor anxiously. Perhaps in the entirety of the crown prince manor only these shadow guards truly cared for Hua Xiu Yi. They followed the Crown Prince from the very start and knew the pain in the Crown Princes heart.
Crown Princes body received grievous injuries. Its best to rest for some days. He mustnt overwork himself! The imperial doctor reminded AMu of things he must pay attention to and then went to write a prescription and boil the medicine. After all, the one lying inside was the Crown Prince.
Cough cough Hua Xiu Yi suddenly coughed a few times. AMu immediately helped support Hua Xiu Yi as he looked anxiously at the pale-faced and strange master, asking in confusion, Crown Prince? Who has hurt Crown Prince? The Crown Princes martial arts were considered unmatched in the world. There were few who could hurt the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince usually handled matters cautiously and was rarely injured. Suddenly, AMu thought of An Er. Did this have to do with Prince Ming?
Its nothing! Hua Xiu Yi rose. He didnt expect Heavenly Celestial Grass to be hidden so well. Even though he has grown up in the imperial pce, he still wasted much effort to find it. When he stole the Heavenly Celestial Grass, he was discovered and was injured.
Hua Xiu Yi came over to the study desk and asked, Did Prince Mings shadow guard return? While he was stealing the Heavenly Celestial Grass, his mind was filled with the indifferent girl. He remembered them falling into the trap and fighting shoulder to shoulder. Hua Xiu Yi only felt disgusted and lonely in the Crown Prince Manor but now he had those short and few memories, Hua Xiu Yi felt his life has be a lot warmer. If the only person who can give his life warmth left him, this world would be so dull.
Yes! He left Crown Prince Manor without wasting time! Though AMu knew Prince Mings shadow guard must havee for something, he was only a shadow guard and had no position to ask anything. The Crown Prince had a measure of what was to be done, but besides facing Prince Mings fiance, the Crown Prince was too different. The Crown Prince seemed to be filled with warmth yet simrly exposed how dangerous he was.
Send some people to protect Prince Mings shadow guard in the shadows until he reaches Prince Ming manor! Hua Xiu Yi ordered. He was aware of how rare Heavenly Celestial Grass was toe by. It can be seen by whenever something happens to many members of the imperial family of Hua empire yet he has never seen the Emperor take out the Heavenly Celestial Grass. Though it was secretive, but safety cant be guaranteed so it was best to be careful.
Yes! AMu knew his masters injuries must have something to do with Prince Ming. It might have something to do with Prince Mings fiance. However, AMu knew his master had his own ideas. As a shadow guard, he should guess at those things.
Dont let outsiders know of my injuries. There is no need for that imperial doctor to continue existing. All the spies nted in the manor are to be cleaned out by bloodbath all at once! This crown prince will be having a match against imperial father! Hua Xiu Yi held a hand to his chest as his smile became more wicked.
Feng Yi Xuans entourage finally arrived at the northernmost snow peak. The snow peaks were endless. It seemed to be overflowing with delicate trills. The silver peak under the sky was snowy blue, as transparent as cier ss. Towering snow-capped mountains thrust in disy in the sky. It was majestic and spectacr. The skyrim stood tall with snow mountains and ice peaks, dazzling under the sunlight. The snow-capped mountains were like silver giants, overlooking everyone.
Were finally here! Gui Si sighed. If they still werent able to arrive at the snow peaks, there wouldnt be enough time. They already used up thirteen days to reach the snow peak. Half a month has passed from the day little junior sisters poison acted up. They only had half a month left. They not only had to pluck the seven colored snow lotus; they had to use the remaining time to send the snow lotus back to Prince Ming manorpletely intact.
The three of thought with Feng Yi Xuans desperation thesest few days he would immediately climb the snow peak. Instead, they realized Feng Yi Xuan already dismounted from his horse and set up a simple tent.
We dont have much time. Why arent we climbing the snow peak? Gui Yi asked Feng Yi Xuan in confusion.
Feng Yi Xuan wasnt going to answer but considering these people were Nian Nians beloved family and have genuinely cared for Nian Nian in the past, Feng Yi Xuan said coldly, With our physical strength, we arent able to reach the snow peak and even lose our life. Rest for tonight. Tomorrow well expend all efforts to win the snow lotus!
Feng Yi Xuan was aware of his own bodys condition. He knew some things required a good condition. He hasnt rested for many nights, much less having a meal. Every time he was hungry, hed chew on some dry rations on horseback. Though he didnt care for his life, Nian Nians life was linked with his. Hence, he must obtain the snow lotus.
None of them said any more. They all started to buy time to get enough rest. An Yi left to bring some warm white wine and meals for them. In such a weather, wine can drive away the cold and a full meal can satiate their hunger.
Feng Yi Xuan hastily ate some. Gui Yi can tell Feng Yi Xuan was forcing himself to eat because he was suffering inside and found it hard to swallow foods, but he knew he must maintain his physical strength to save little junior sister. It was no wonder little junior sister fell in love with such a man. Gui Yi felt his heart rx a lot more because the little junior sister he had in his heart finally had someone she can depend on.
Feng Yi Xuan walked into the tent andid on the bed An Yi set up on the ground and slept. Though he hasnt rested for many days, Feng Yi Xuan didnt feel sleepy at all as heid there. In his heart and mind, all he could think of was Nian Nian, wondering if Nian Nian was still unconscious, wondering if Nian Nian was cold without him, wondering if Nian Nian was afraid...
Feng Yi Xuan knew if he continued like this, he would have no energy to climb the snow peak. Feng Yi Xuan took out the pouch he carried with him, forcing himself to empty his mind, forcing himself to sleep...
In the morning, before it was light out, Feng Yi Xuan opened his eyes. Even if the bags under his eyes were very dark, Feng Yi Xuans eyes were sharp as des. Feng Yi Xuan walked out of the tent without tidying himself up and took a few mouthfuls of dry rations and prepared to climb the snow peak.
At this moment, Gui Yi and Gui Si woke up. Their eyes met and prepared to ascend the snow peak. But Feng Yi Xuan said, Leave one person behind! Feng Yi Xuan thought if they all ascended the snow peak and some ident happened, there wouldnt be a single person to provide assistance.
None of the three wanted to be left behind. At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan said, Gui Si stays!
Gui Si wanted to refute but Feng Yi Xuan didnt give Gui Si a chance and went up the snow peak with Gui Yi and An Yi. He had his own reason for leaving behind Gui Si. Gui Sis injuries havent healed. Climbing the snow peak would only endanger his life. Though Feng Yi Xuan didnt mind other people sacrificing themselves, he knew Nian Nian cared. Thus, he needed Gui Si to stay. Even if they can obtain the snow lotus, once they descended the snow peak, they would be worn-out and needed someone who had good martial arts to protect them as they journeyed back to the capital. Gui Si was undoubtedly the best candidate.
The three of them wore thick robes and used qinggong to ascend to the top of the snow peak. The bitterly cold wind blew against the three peoples faces. The entire snow peak was an expanse of cold snow. Even if they had martial arts protecting them, they were still frozen into icicles.
Suddenly, Gui Yi stepped on empty air as he tumbled down from the cliff. Feng Yi Xuan deftly pulled up Gui Yi. They all took a look and realized that though it seemed to be snow under their feet, it was actually empty. If they stepped on it, they will fall.
Gui Yi looked down at the bottomless cliff and felt fear. If it wasnt Feng Yi Xuan pulling him up, he really would have fallen down. He would lose his lie on the ice-cold snow peak. Gui Yi gratefully said, Thanks!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt answer as he overlooked the endless white snow. It became more difficult to breathe as they ascended higher. They have reached the point they arent able to hold on. Feng Yi Xuan pursed his frozen and purple lips, silently continuing to walk up the snow peak.
An Yi and Gui Yi supported their stiff bodies and were practically crawling up but they still followed Feng Yi Xuans footsteps up the snow peak. Now they know why so many people ascended the snow peak and none returned alive. The snow peak was too tall. Most people didnt have the physical strength to persevere. The dangers of the snow peak and the coldness was unbearable. Even if people werent frozen to death, theyd be injured and die of unknown causes. Hence, no one was able to reach the summit of the snow peak.
Suddenly, Feng Yi Xuan stopped in front. Gui Yi and An Yi looked at Feng Yi Xuan in confusion. At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan suddenly pulled on An Yi and Gui Yis hands. The three of them found a mountain that could offer any shelter andid down.
Gui Yi was confused and was about to ask why when Gui Yi heard a boom explosion sound. Gui Yi lifted his head to see why Feng Yi Xuans face was so ugly. Becauseyers of snow tumbled down from the snow peaks summit. The snow could bury any person.
Even though the area they were hiding in had an advantageous terrain, they were still buried under the snow of the snow peak. After the booming sounds stopped, the entire snow peak became quiet.
After a while, a slightly blue hand from the cold reached out from the snow. The hand was able to tear open the thickyer of white snow and climbed out. Feng Yi Xuan breathed harshly and dragged out Gui Yi and An Yi who was buried in the snow.
Though Gui Yi has been buried for a long time, he was fine. They were able to hold their breaths so they were able to survive, but An Yi was severely injured because when arge snow block came crashing down, Feng Yi Xuan wouldnt be able to evade it, but as his shadow guard, An Yi blocked it with his body. This was the duty of a shadow guard. They would be able to give their life for their master.
As a doctor, Gui Yi carried medicinal ointment with him and took it out to apply some to an Yis back and carefully checked An Yis pulse. Gui Yi frowned, taking his pulse and looked to Feng Yi Xuan, An Yi has received serious internal injuries. The snow block hurt his internal organs. With his condition, An Yi is unable to make it to the summit!
Master! An Yi knelt on the snowy ground in guilt. He knew master brought him because of his abilities. It was aplete surprise that this ident happened. He will most likely be masters burden.
Feng Yi Xuan waved his hand to have An Yi stand. This couldnt be med on An Yi. If it wasnt An Yi loyally protecting his master, the one who would be injured would be him. Feng Yi Xuan stroked the pouch around his waist, breathing out a freezing breath.
An Yi, you descend the mountain. This prince will climb the mountain with Gui Yi! Feng Yi Xuan ordered. If they brought An Yi, he would only be a burden. It would waste their time. Even knowing it would be extremely dangerous to let An Yi descend the mountain now, Feng Yi Xuan didnt regret it. Nian Nian couldnt wait.
An Yi understood his masters thoughts. He kowtowed to Feng Yi Xuan, Master, be careful. This subordinate will wait at the bottom of the mountain for master to safely return. The matriarch is still waiting in the manor for master! An Yi knew nothing was more important than the matriarch. As long as the matriarch was there, master will definitelye back.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded and continued to climb up the soaring snow peak with Gui Yi...
Chapter 244 - 19 Seven Colored Snow Lotus
19 Seven Colored Snow Lotus
Are we there? Gui Yi couldnt support himself as he tumbled onto the white snow as they stood at the top of the snowy peak. A gentle smile finally curled up his lips. Theyve finally climbed to the top of the snow peak after so many days.
Feng Yi Xuan frowned as he gazed at the white expanse. His eyes were nearly blinded by the endless snow. Feng Yi Xuan used the already diminished internal force to warm up his body and asked, Where does the seven-colored snow lotus usually grow?
Gui Yi forced himself to stand up from the snowy ground and scanned the snowy peak where one wasnt able to determine the direction, It should be on the cliff of the snow peak. ording to the historical records, the seven-colored snow lotus has its own guardian beast. So you must be careful. We might not be the guardian beasts opponent! If it was usual, they might still have some chance but their internal force and physical strength were greatly exhausted. If they encountered a guardian beast, they might lose their life here.
Feng Yi Xuan started searching around the steep cliff next to the snow peak. The cold wind blew into his eyes, making him unable to open them. Still, Feng Yi Xuan squinted his sharp eyes and searched for the seven-colored snow lotus.
After several hours, Feng Yi Xuans lips finally curled up into a stiff smile. On a rock wall not far away grew a holy snow lotus that glinted with color. The snow lotus seemed to converge all of the snow peaks life as it bloomed there.
Is it this? Feng Yi Xuan asked Gui Yi beside him. He knew nothing of medicinal knowledge, but Gui Yi was different. This was why he brought Gui Yi with himing to the snow peak. If he didnt have someone who was versed in medicine, he wouldnt be able to decipher between the real and the fake seven-colored snow lotus.
Gui Yi looked in surprise at the seven colored snow lotus on the cliff as his entire body trembled. As a doctor, he was an appreciator of those rare medicinal herbs. Additionally, this seven colored snow lotus was the very thing that can save little junior sisters life. After expending much effort, theyve finally found it. Gui Yi wanted to cry to express his feelings.
Feng Yi Xuan controlled his breathing and used his internal force to the extreme to get a feel for the surrounding air, to see if this seven colored snow lotus had a guardian beast guarding it. As it was, his bodys internal force was already depleted. He cant be certain that the guardian beast wasnt hiding somewhere to attack them. Feng Yi Xuan knew theyve already held up several days on this snow speak. If they arent able to take the snow lotus, what would happen to Nian Nian?
Just as Feng Yi Xuan was about to move, Gui Yi clutched to Feng Yi Xuan who was about to jump onto the cliff, shouting in rage, Are you mad? Didnt I say the seven colored snow lotus had a guardian beast around it? If you go recklessly, do you realize you might die? After interacting with one another over the course of the many days, Gui Yi already approved of Feng Yi Xuan and knew only a man like Feng Yi Xuan can give little junior sister happiness. If something were to happen to Feng Yi Xuan, what would happen to little junior sister?
Feng Yi Xuan frowned as he ripped away Gui Yis hand. Facing the seven colored snow lotus, he said, Nian Nian cant wait. If we hesitate, we wont be able to make it back in time. If Nian Nian cant live, why should I continue to live? Dering this, Feng Yi Xuan used his martial technique of lightness to fly towards the cliff.
Feng Yi Xuan quietly came over to the seven colored snow lotus, taking out the box Gui Yi Zi gave him before he left. This box can keep the seven colored snow lotuspletely intact. Feng Yi Xuans right hand moved and plucked the seven colored snow lotus to immediately ce it in the box. then, his entire body retreated backward, because he already sensed movement from the guardian beast.
At this moment, the snow they thought was an expanse of snow bulged upwards. Both Feng Yi Xuan and Gui Yi could see clearly it wasnt a snowy area. It was a sturdy white bearying there, only this white bears fur was the same as the white snow. Hence, they didnt notice it.
Roar! The white bear suddenly stood, roaring. His gaze was filled with a wild beasts savageness as they looked at Feng Yi Xuan. It was Feng Yi Xuan who plucked the seven colored snow lotus it has stood guard over many years. The white body lunged at Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan swiftly left the cliff as soon as the white bear moved. At the cliff, he wouldnt have any winning chance. When Gui Yi saw Feng Yi Xuan pluck the seven colored snow lotus, his entire body filled with excitement, but when he saw the white bear roaring from behind, Gui Yi grabbed a poison and threw it at the white bear and shouted at Feng Yi Xuan, Run!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt y the hero. He already got the seven colored snow lotus. The odds werent in his favor with his current circumstance. He needed to rush back to Nian Nians side. Everything else was unimportant.
Feng Yi Xuan and Gui Yi used qinggong to the max as they flew down from the snow peak. The white bear followed them in hot pursuit. The white bear clearly held a lot of rage towards Feng Yi Xuan. In the process of running, it grabbed the thick ice to smash it at Feng Yi Xuan. Most of the time, Feng Yi Xuan was not able to dodge it. Even Gui Yi has been attacked many times.
Gui Yi and Feng Yi Xuan were in the midst of flight; however, this snow mountain was where the white bear lived. Even if the two of them used their qinggong to the extreme, they still fell to the white bears obstacles. The white bears wide paws smashed towards Gui Yi who already exhausted himself. Catching him unaware, the white bear smashed Gui Yi into the distance.
After dealing with Gui Yi, the white bear looked towards Feng Yi Xuan. That pair of animalistic eyes exposed its rage and the murderous desire to chomp on Feng Yi Xuan. The white bears animal eyes looked at the seven colored snow lotus in Feng Yi Xuans arms. With a leap, it lunged for Feng Yi Xuan. The wide and terrifying bear paw grabbed at Feng Yi Xuans chest.
Feng Yi Xuans entire body was like an eagle as he leaped up, shooting both hands of internal force towards the white bear. The white bear wasnt quick enough to dodge and was hit by Feng Yi Xuans palm. The white bear rolled onto the snowy ground, its cumbersome body rolled around on the snow beforeing to a stop. However, it only took a few seconds for it to stand back up.
The white bear became unusually violent after Feng Yi Xuans attack as it continuously roared and ceaselessly attacked Feng Yi Xuan. Normally Feng Yi Xuan would naturally be able to match the white bear, but whether it was his body or internal force, Feng Yi Xuan was not the white bears opponent. However, Feng Yi Xuan didnt show any hint of panic as he took out his dagger and battled with the white bear. He, Feng Yi Xuan, even without internal force, still had his fighting abilities.
As the white bear totally disregarded its life and charged over, Feng Yi Xuans entire person shed behind the white bear. The white bear didnt have the time to react as the dagger plunged into its back. Though it didnt harm the white bears life, it slowed the white bear down.
Under Feng Yi Xuans endless attacks, the white bear fought back without care to its life. Feng Yi Xuans physical strength gradually depleted. More importantly, Feng Yi Xuan felt his hands were frozen stiff, making it even harder to hold onto the dagger.
Just as Feng Yi Xuan drifted off into his thoughts, the white bears two paws wed at Feng Yi Xuan. The white bears two paws wed at Feng Yi Xuan. With Feng Yi Xuans abilities, he should only have received a slight injury but the white bear was wing at the pouch at Feng Yi Xuans waist. In order to let the pouch remain untouched, Feng Yi Xuan was careless as he allowed the white bear to w at his face.
The white bears sharp ws swiped down at Feng Yi Xuans right cheek. Feng Yi Xuans right face was wed with a deep wound. The fresh blood flowed from Feng Yi Xuans right face, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt utter a sound and didnt show any hint of concern for his disfigured face.
Just as the white bear was smug, Feng Yi Xuan jumped onto the white bears back and plunged the dagger into the white bears eye. Roar! The white bear roared in pain but Feng Yi Xuan didnt give it time to feel its pain. As the white bears vision was impaired, he shed the dagger over the white bears neck.
Feng Yi Xuan jumped down from the white bears back. Therge white bear crashed down as, from its neck, sprayed out warm blood that was frozen by the snow peaks coldness. The white bear who stood as guardian many years lost its life.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt concern himself with the injury on his face as he came over to the unconscious Gui Yi. He transferred a ball of internal force into Gui Yi to wake him up. Gui Yi didnt expect the first thing he saw after waking up would be Feng Yi Xuans blood-covered right face. Gui Yi was aware of Feng Yi Xuans good looks but that handsome right face had a gruesome scar across it, destroying Feng Yi Xuans unparalleled handsome face, making people feel terrified.
You... Gui Yi wanted to say something but then understood Feng Yi Xuans emotions. Perhaps in Feng Yi Xuans heart, besides little junior sister, he didnt care about things such as his looks. Gui Yi took out a medicinal ointment to apply it for Feng Yi Xuan but was rejected.
We dont have much time. We must hurry back to the capital! Feng Yi Xuan dashed back down the snow peak. Without care to his own body, Gui Yi raced down the snow peak. Under the twos total disregard of life, the two finally came to the bottom of the snow peak. There, An Yi and Gui Si were waiting.
Master! An Yi gaped in shock at his master whose face was frozen with blood and hurried over to Feng Yi Xuan. When he saw his masters face, An Yis entire person was stunned but didnt utter a word. Compared to ones life, a face couldnt be counted as much.
Gui Yi! Gui Si supported Gui Yi who was about to faint. He didnt expect Gui Yi to be so weakened. Gui Si looked at Feng Yi Xuan and couldnt help respecting Feng Yi Xuan.
Lets go! Feng Yi Xuan didnt say another word as he mounted his steed and raced back to the capital. Gui Yi followed closely. Gui Yis body couldnt continue to hurry on the road but Gui Yi persisted. Gui Si could only ride the same horse with Gui Yi. The four of them swiftly raced towards Feng empires capital.
Chapter 245 - 20 Xuan’s Blood Tears
20 Xuans Blood Tears
Master! What should we do? Little junior sister is already vomiting blood. If Prince Ming doesnt return, little junior sister wont be able to hold up! Gui Wu anxiously paced around in the room. Many days have passed. Today was already the twenty-ninth day. They only had tomorrow, one day left. If Prince Ming doesnt bring back the seven colored snow lotus, then...
Gui Yi Zi looked at Lan You Nian, feeling anxious in his heart but calmly faced the others saying, That stinky brat already has the snow lotus. This old man believes he will hurry back. Theres someone here waiting for him!
Outside the room in Prince Ming manor stood many people. Emperor Feng Xia Qi would bring Empress Yue Bai Lian to Prince Ming Manor once the morning court was over. The two would stay the entire day, feeling so anxious inside they wanted to vent. Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian, as well as Hua Mu Qing, woulde to Prince Ming manor every day. It was only a month yet Lan Jian Juns hair has already whitened a lot and has seemingly aged. Though Jing Wu An and Yu Liu Li were worried as well, the two understood they must overlook the matters of the court at this time. However, after they finished handling official concerns, they woulde over to Prince Ming manor. They would sit in Prince Ming manors garden listening to Gui Yi Zis diagnosis. Tutor He, because of his advanced age, everyone concealed Lan You Nians illness from him, but how can Tutor He not be aware, so he can only have his grandson He Chu Yange over to Prince Ming manor to inquire and tell him his granddaughters situation every night, resulting in Tutor He falling over in illness this month. Fortunately, with Gui Yi Zi there, it was nothing serious.
Prince Ming is back! Suddenly from the gates of Prince Ming manor came Gui Ers shout. His voice was filled with excitement as well as hoarseness. It was this one cry that made the entire Prince Ming manor stir with excitement. Those Prince Ming manors guards and shadow guards finally released a sigh of relief. All these days, they all prayed that the princess consort would be safe and sound.
Gui Yi Zi and the others ran in the direction of the front gates. Before they reached the gates, they saw Feng Yi Xuan riding his horse, charging into Prince Ming manor and leaping off. Gui Yi Zi was about to task Feng Yi Xuan if he has the seven colored snow lotus but when he saw Feng Yi Xuans condition, Gui Yi Zi could utter the words, even the excited people stared in shock at Feng Yi Xuan.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan no longer looked like a celestial being. The ck robes were covered with dust and blood. All over, besides the pouch at his waist was clean, he seemed as if he escaped from a refugee camp. An Er and the others all felt sour inside. Even in the past when they followed master onto the battlefield, they havent seen master in such difficulty. Feng Yi Xuans entire person lost a lot of weight. The robes on his body seemed a lot more hollow. What was even more surprising to the others was the scar across Feng Yi Xuans face. Because they didnt treat it in time, it was even more terrifying, giving that handsome face into a demonic feel.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt look at the others expressions. He directly handed the box in his arms to Gui Yi Zi and swiftly ran into the room, so anxious and horrified that it made all of the others feel sour inside. No one uttered a sound as they directly waited outside, giving Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian the chance to be alone.
Gui Yi Zi looked at the seven colored snow lotus in the box feeling his emotions stir. For little Nianers poison, he spent much thought and any price all these years. Now he finally can let little Nianer be a normal child. Gui Yi Zi dragged Gui Yi to the medicine room.
Feng Xia Qi hugged Yue Bai Lian, feeling extremely excited inside. He said to Yue Bai Lian, So good! Nianer is saved! They will be together forever! Though Feng Xia Qi saw the wound on his brothers face, butpared to ones looks, ones life was more important. Feng Xia Qi knew that Lan You Nian wasnt a woman who cared about ones looks.
Yue Bai Lians eyes were wet. She said in a sobbing voice, Yes, its so good! So many nights, she and Feng Xia Qi were waiting in torment for a miracle. Finally, a miracle happened. This miracle was brought by Prince Ming. This man was really worthy of Nianer to depend on.
Because they knew Lan You Nian was saved, everyone recovered themselves. Lan Mo Xian and the others hurried over to the military camp. Thest few days they werent in the mood to handle these matters and now there were matters for them to handle.
Feng Yi Xuan entered the room, looking at the white bookshelf arranged in the northeast corner. The warm sunlight passed through the vermillion carved wooden window, scattering onto the zither on its stand. The pink curtains brought in flower petals that blew in from the window, gently caressing over the strings of the zither. Wisps of fragrant smoke rose from the incense burner, wrapping around the curtains and permeating the whole room. On thatrge bed,id the girl he yearned for so long.
Feng Yi Xuan came over to the bed and sat down, stroking Lan You Nians face. Her skin was the white jade after shedding all the filth, fine as gtin. It was soft and smooth to the touch like a just peeled boiled egg. Feng Yi Xuan paid attention to Nian Nians furrowed brows. Feng Yi Xuan reached out a hand to gently smooth over Lan You Nians forehead. In Lan You Nians ears, he gently whispered, Nian Nian Im back! After Feng Yi Xuan said this, Lan You Nians frowning brows slowly rxed.
Feng Yi Xuans body has reached its limits after running and exhausting itself in thest few days. Now he was by Lan You Nians side, Feng Yi Xuans entire person was rxed. Feng Yi Xuanid by Lan You Nians side. Because he feared the dust on his clothes will contaminate Lan You Nian, Feng Yi Xuan didnt cover himself with the nket but he still held Lan You Nian gingerly in his arms. Even though he knew his body was smelly, Feng Yi Xuan didnt want to let go.
Gui Yi Zi put together all the medicinal herbs, boiling it and bringing it to the room. He saw on the carved flower bed slept a pure and beautiful girl and a handsome man despite his drabness and haggardness. The man tightly held the girl as if he wont let go even in his dreams.
Though Gui Yi Zi couldnt bear to disturb this scene, he remembered the medicine in his hand must be ingested immediately to have any effect. Otherwise, the effects of the medicine will lose all its original effects. Before Gui Yi Zi could utter a sound, Feng Yi Xuan already opened his piercing eyes. That pair of purple eyes tinted with red sharply red at Gui Yi Zi. Realizing the person was Gui Yi Zi, he withdrew his gaze to look at Lan You Nian, his voice raspy, Master, is the medicine done?
Gui Yi Zi put the medicine onto the table and earnestly said, The medicine is done but stinky brat, you must prepare yourself. This old man has never encountered such poison. Even if the antidote has been developed, this old man doesnt have total certainty. You...
Feng Yi Xuan took the bowl of medicine and looked at Lan You Nian gently, No matter what the result is, I will apany Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan took a gulp of the medicine and used his lips to transfer it to Lan You Nian. In moments, the bowl of medicine was fed into Lan You Nians body.
Gui Yi Zi and Feng Yi Xuan stared at Lan You Nian without blinking. Several moments passed yet there was no change to Lan You Nian. Both Gui Yi Zi and Feng Yi Xuan were anxious. Feng Yi Xuans entire body was trembling.
At this moment, Lan You Nian suddenly moaned painfully. Her entire body seemed to shake from pain. More importantly, Lan You Nian vomited mouthfuls of blood. The pained look madepletely mad.
Nian Nian...Nian Nian...Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian, trembling along with her. Feng Yi Xuans purple eyes were bleeding blood tears. The blood tears followed Feng Yi Xuans cheek and dripped down.
Lan You Nian felt her body was in so much pain, so painful that it seemed all her internal organs were being ripped apart and her tendons were rebuilding themselves. She was in such pain she wanted to sleep forever but there was a voice calling to her in her ears. Lan You Nian could sense this voice was trembling with fear.
Xuan... the broken voice forced out from Lan You Nians mouth. She knew the one who kept calling her was Feng Yi Xuan. She can feel the trembling embrace. She can very clearly feel Feng Yi Xuans terror. She knew she cant die like this. If she left, what was Feng Yi Xuan to do?
Im here, Nian Nian, Xuan is here! Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nians voice. Even if the voice was so faint it was barely discernible, Feng Yi Xuan was still able to catch it. Feng Yi Xuan endlessly kissed Lan You Nians forehead, Nian Nian, dont leave me. You cant leave me. Wherever you go, I will go with you!
Lan You Nian made an effort to open her eyes. Her hazy eyes couldnt see anything clearly but she can see that pair of purple eyes and the blood tears in those eyes. Lan You Nians heart seemed to be given a harsh blow, making her more conscious. Her Xuan was crying. Her Xuan shed blood tears. This was all for her.
I wont leave you...Nian Nian...Nian Nian will never leave Xuan... Lan You Nian forced herself to say theseforting words and then spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Feng Yi Xuan too spat out blood, roaring, Nian Nian!
This cry ofment like a wild animal made the people outside barge in with horror. They looked in horror at Feng Yi Xuan who was howling like an animal as well as the deathly pale Lan You Nian in his arms, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Nianer! They all shouted. Lan Jian Jun fainted. The general who has reigned over the battlefield actually fainted. In an instant, the whole room was in chaos.
What are you screaming for? Little Nianer is fine. If you continue to shout, this old man will strike you dead! Gui Yi Zi couldnt endure it as he shouted. This shout made everyonee to their senses and looked at Gui Yi Zi with glowing eyes, making the hairs rise on Gui Yi Zis body.
Feng Yi Xuan wretched Gui Yi Zi up, his eyes coldly demanding, Nian Nian is fine? Is Nian Nian fine? Feng Yi Xuan stared at Gui Yi Zi. Gui Yi Zis words will determine his Feng Yi Xuans entire world.
Gui Yi Zi sighed with feeling inside as he looked at Feng Yi Xuan. Such a love-infatuated man was indeed rare in this world. Gui Yi Zi, under the wolf-like gaze of everyone, took Lan You Nians pulse and bore the pressure as he dered, Little Nianer spat out the poison blood. The blood ispletely out of her system!
Feng Yi Xuan stared in disbelief at Gui Yi Zi and joyously held tightly to Lan You Nian. Then, he struck a palm at the roomful of people to toss them out.
Lan Jian Jun thought his daughter really couldnt hold on anymore, hence why he fainted being unable to take it but didnt expect to wake up to hear Gui Yi Zis words. Before he could be overjoyed, he was tossed out.
The other people who were tossed out were speechless but therge rock in their hearts could finally be put down. Yue Bai Lians legs became jelly as she fell into Feng Xia Qis arms, going entirely limp. In that instant, she was so afraid.
Everyone demanded Gui Yi Zi over Lan You Nians illness. Gui Yi Zi promised Lan You Nian was fine multiple times. She only fainted because the poison has been umting inside her body for many years. Once it was cleared, her body couldnt handle it and fainted from being weakened. Only then did everyone rest their hearts and leave Prince Ming manor. It wasnt that they didnt want to wait for Lan You Nian to wake up but that there were many things they ignored. Even if they waited, Feng Yi Xuan wont let them see Lan You Nian.
In the room, Feng Yi Xuans eyes didnt dare to part from Lan You Nian. He kept staring at Lan You Nian. Even if he knew Lan You Nian wouldnt be waking up for some time, Feng Yi Xuan continued to look at her...
Chapter 246 - 21 Warmth After Life and Death
21 Warmth After Life and Death
Lan You Nian felt her body became light. The poison that has been with her for many years has left her. Before Lan You Nian could open her eyes, she could already feel Feng Yi Xuans warmth, as well as his familiar smell, making Lan You Nians heart at peace.
Suddenly, Lan You Nian remembered the blood tears she saw. Lan You Nian stiffened and with tremblingshes, she opened her eyes. Feng Yi Xuan whose whole attention was on Lan You Nian saw Lan You Nians movement. He knew Lan You Nian was about to wake up. At this time, Feng Yi Xuan was a little panicked. He remembered the scar on his face. Though he hasnt seen it himself, he knew of the white bears strength. His face was most likely disfigured. He never regretted it nor did he care but when he saw a perfect Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan suddenly felt uneasy.
Lan You Nian struggled to open her eyes but before she could see anything clearly, her eyes were covered by a warm hand. In an instant, Lan You Nians vision turned into darkness. Though she couldnt see anything, Lan You Nian didnt feel a hint of fear or unease. Because it was Feng Yi Xuan.
Xuan? Lan You Nian asked in confusion. Lan You Nians confused voice carried an ethereal air. After curing her poison, Lan You Nian seemed to be washed anew. If Lan You Nian in the past had a hint of otherworldly air; then, Lan You Nian now was surrounded by an air of transcendency, making others worship.
Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips, his eyes turning uneasily, and finally uttered though his voice was raspy and maic, Nian Nian, dont look! He knew Nian Nian wouldnt mind his scar, but Feng Yi Xuan minded Nian Nian will be upset if she saw his scar. He didnt want Nian Nian upset.
Lan You Nian reached out her fingers to curl around the hand covering up her eyes, asking coquettishly, But I missed Xuan! I want to see you! Do you know? While I was unconscious, I can hear you whispering in my ear. I wanted to stop you but I couldnt make a sound or open my eyes. Xuan, do you know how afraid I was?
Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nians words and slowly put down the hand covering up Lan You Nians eyes. He still said in advance, Nian Nian, no matter what, dont overthink. No matter what, I did it willingly!
With Feng Yi Xuans words, Lan You Nian looked towards Feng Yi Xuan anxiously. It was this one nce Lan You Nian could no longer hold back her tears. Teardrops like pearls dripped onto Feng Yi Xuans chest, burning Feng Yi Xuans heart.
Its only been a month. For her, it took her the time to close her eyes and then open them. The man in front of her has be unrecognizable. The previously handsomely unmatched face is buried under all the exhaustion. Stubble she has never seen before has grown out. The thick dark circles under that pair of purple eyes filled with red veins. Lan You Nian can still see traces of the blood tear. What made Lan You Nians heart hurt was the long scar flying across Feng Yi Xuans right face. Because it wasnt treated in time, Lan You Nian can still see the traces of blood on the scar. She didnt think the scar was horrifying but her heart ached. This pain was even more painful than the poison ring up. She found it hard to breathe.
Lan You Nian continued to look over him and caught sight of Feng Yi Xuans crumbled robes. There were still traces of blood on the clothes. The previously cleanliness obsessive man wore clothes that havent been changed for an unknown number of days without being conscious of it. The hands that held hers were covered with frostbite, ruining the beauty of those hands.
Xuan... Lan You Nian stroked Feng Yi Xuans face with heartache, Is it because of me? Is it because of me? Lan You Nian knew this was all because of her. Because of her, this man became like this. Such a stupid man, what should she do with him?
Feng Yi Xuan panicked as he wiped Lan You Nians tears, as he rambled an exnation, Nian Nian, dont cry, dont cry. It was an ident. It doesnt hurt. Dont cry please? Do you fear this scar?
Though Feng Yi Xuan never cared for his looks, Feng Yi Xuan still felt uneasy in front of Lan You Nian the girl he loved. He looked at Nian Nians extraordinary beauty. He was afraid he couldnt keep Nian Nian, but inside he told himself no one can take Nian Nian away.
Not afraid. Why would I be afraid? My Xuan, no matter what you look like, I will not be afraid. I only feel heartache... Lan You Nians tears fell without stopping. She kissed Feng Yi Xuans scar, her kiss carrying tenderness and care, Xuan, sorry...sorry... Because of me, you are injured. Because of me, you became so helpless. Because of me, you shed such painful blood tears. Because of me, you became so panicked and afraid. But I dont regret nor will I let go. Because I love you, love you very very much...
Feng Yi Xuan kissed Lan You Nians apologetic beautiful red lips. His tongue thrust open Lan You Nians tightly closed teeth.
Lan You Nians tongue curled inside. The hand on Lan You Nians forehead slid down, holding onto Lan You Nians slim waist as if he wanted to melt her into his arms.
Nian Nian, there is no need for apology between us. Because of you, no matter what, I have no regrets! Feng Yi Xuan wiped away Lan You Nians tears, saying in delight. Nian Nian was in his arms. He can feel Nian Nians warmth. No matter what price he had to pay, it was okay.
Lan You Nian nodded. She knew between them there was no apology. Even if the same thing happened, she would pay any price for Feng Yi Xuan without regret. She couldnt help the ache in her heart. Lan You Nian blinked her eyes that were washed by tears, making them bright, Whats the injury from?
Feng Yi Xuan rubbed Lan You Nians hair. He knew if he didnt exin, Nian Nian will feel even worse inside. Feng Yi Xuan smiled in answer, I was scratched by the white bear when we went to the Snow Peak to pluck the Seven Colored Snow Lotus. Feng Yi Xuan said, making light of it. However, Lan You Nian can tell the situation then must have been dangerous. It was all over now. They were all well. This was the greatest blessing.
Is that white bear dead? If its still alive, I must kill it! Lan You Nian said ruthlessly. No one can harm Feng Yi Xuan. This was her man! After experiencing life and death once, Lan You Nians and Feng Yi Xuans love was even more passionate. In the past, Lan You Nians feelings towards Feng Yi Xuan were mostly eptance of him but now Lan You Nian was willing to express her own love, because this man was worth it.
Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart soften as he saw Lan You Nian being protective like a little pup protecting its food, the smile on his lips couldnt be stopped, Of course its dead! Your Xuan isnt that weak! Feng Yi Xuan suddenly thought of something, Nian Nian, you said you heard me when you were unconscious?
Lan You Nian nodded. When she heard Feng Yi Xuan was going to the Snow Peak, she panicked but she was unable to wake up. Though master and everyone would speak to her, all she could think of was Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at Lan You Nian anxiously and seemed to be getting something off his chest as he said, Then did you hear me say if we pass this safely, we will get married? Feng Yi Xuan actually wasnt certain. Though he knew Nian Nian was willing to marry him, that was after she came of age. After this poisoning incident, Feng Yi Xuan was unwilling to part with Nian Nian. Even if it was just on the surface, it wasnt okay. Though Nian Nian was to marry him at this age, it wasnt good but he will think of a good idea for this.
Lan You Nians face was a little red as she looked at Feng Yi Xuan. She naturally heard all of that but didnt think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, she was feeling a bit shy. Lan You Nian bit her lip, and smiled, I heard.
Then.. Feng Yi Xuans pale face was a little flushed. He hugged Lan You Nian, Lets get married soon okay?
Lan You Nian pinched Feng Yi Xuans nose, You dont have any bridal gifts. You havent obtained master and senior brothers eptance. You didnt even tell father, yet you want to steal me away? Xuan, when have you thought of things so simply? Im very difficult to marry. You cant if a single one is missing!
Feng Yi Xuan smiled in joy. His smile was brilliant and clean. His smile could make a rainbow, making the dark moods of people be light. Feng Yi Xuan knew Nian Nian has agreed to it. She only wanted him to take care of all the trivial things concerning weddings. Feng Yi Xuan felt so happy he could soar into the sky.
Okay, none will be missing. I will marry you into my Prince Ming manor grandly! Feng Yi Xuan said in joy, hating he couldnt immediately run out to let An Yi start preparations.
Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian for a while saying some things and realized he hasnt washed for a long time. Now by Nian Nians side, he realized his difort. He wanted to go take a bath but he was reluctant to leave Nian Nian, so he was troubled.
How can Lan You Nian not know what Feng Yi Xuan was thinking? After experiencing life and death, they appreciated one another even more. Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuans frail appearance andpared it with herself who was unconscious for many days and thought there was a sharp contrast between them.
Xuan, go take a bath. I will wash your back for you? Though Lan You Nian was shy, she felt this man has been suffering for her. Lan You Nian felt she should do the duty of a wife.
Feng Yi Xuan heard Lan You Nians suggestion and immediately was ted. He pulled Lan You Nian into the bathing pool inside. As Lan You Nian stared with wide eyes, he quickly removed his clothes and walked into the bathing pool. He then looked to Lan You Nian, the meaning was clear without words.
When Lan You Nian saw Feng Yi Xuan take off his clothes, she was feeling slightly embarrassed but when Lan You Nian saw the multiple scars on the body that lost weight over a month, Lan You Nian could feel nothing but heartache.
Lan You Nian picked up the washcloth by the pool and walked into the pool while still dressed. Feng Yi Xuan smiled as he spread out in the pool allowing Lan You Nian to wash his back. Perhaps because he was too tired, when Lan You Nian washed Feng Yi Xuans back, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan fell asleep.
Xuan? Though there was medicine added to the pool which was good for the body, but it one soaked in it too long, it was harmful. Lan You Nian had to wake up Feng Yi Xuan.
Feng Yi Xuan opened his red-veined eyes and saw Lan You Nian by his side. A smile blossomed on his face and hugged Lan You Nian as he muttered, Nian Nian, rest with me, okay?
Okay! Lan You Nian nodded. After the two cleaned up, they directly went to sleep. Lan You Nian didnt feel tired after sleeping for so long but maybe because of Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian hazily fell asleep within moments.
Chapter 247 - 22 Debate at Court
22 Debate at Court
When Feng Yi Xuan woke up, his first reaction was to tighten his arms around the girl in them. Opening his eyes to see Nian Nian was still curled up safe and sound in his arms, Feng Yi Xuan believed there was nothing better than this.
Feng Yi Xuan pecked Lan You Nians forehead and gingerly tucked the nkets in as he quietly crept out of the room. The moment Feng Yi Xuan left the room, Lan You Nian has already awakened. When she didnt see Feng Yi Xuan by her side, Lan You Nian instantly understood what Feng Yi Xuan went to do. Lan You Nian didnt follow. Though she knew Feng Yi Xuan wont hide anything from her, Lan You Nian believed it was necessary for some space between them.
Feng Yi Xuan left the room and immediatley came to Gui Yis room. As soon as Gui Yi heard the knock on his door, he opened the door and was startled when he saw Feng Yi Xuan. ording to Gui Yis guess, Prince Ming should be muttering sweet nothings to little junior sister. They wouldnt part from one another.
Has something happened to little junior sister? Gui Yi suspected if little junior sisters poison has beenpletely detoxified or perhaps something has happened. Gui Yi was worried as he prepared to run out but was stopped by Feng Yi Xuan.
Nian Nian is fine. Shes still resting. I came for myself! Feng Yi Xuan said walking into the room prepared for Gui Yi. Though the room was arranged impromptu by the steward, but Gui Yi was pleased with the various kinds of herbs once he lived in the room.
Gui Yi heard little junior was fine and felt his heart ease. After so many years, due to little junior sisters poison, it has be his natural reaction. Because of the feelings in his heart, he was even more worried. This was why he studied medicine. At the beginning, he wanted to be able to save little junior sister one day. In the end, he slowly fell in love with medicine and became obsessed with medicine. Gui Yis emotions were very restrained. He believed as long as little junior sister was living well, he wouldnt be jealous even if the happiness wasnt given by him.
Does Prince Ming feel unwell? Gui Yi asked in concern. He was aware of how reckless Feng Yi Xuan has been this month. It gave rise to respect in his heart. Such a man was indeed worthy of being Feng empires war god prince. Gui Wu made the right choice to enter Ming army.
Feng Yi Xuan sat down. He still had to go back to apany Nian Nian. What if Nian Nian woke up and didnt see him?
Is it possible that the scar on my face can be removed quickly? Feng Yi Xuan asked.
Gui Yi didnt expect Feng Yi Xuan to ask this or that Feng Yi Xuan would mind the scar on his face. After all, while hurrying back, he hasnt even bothered with applying medicine to it nor had he showed any concern for the scar on his face.
Gui Yi couldnt help ask, Does Prince Ming mind the scar on your face? Then, he started to pick up various herbs around the room to prescribe a medicinal ointment. He still spared a look to Feng Yi Xuan, hoping he would answer him.
Nian Nian will be upset when she sees! Feng Yi Xuan exined. He didnt mind the scar on his face nor did Nian Nian mind butst night he saw Nian Nian weep for her which made Feng Yi Xuan feel awful inside. He knew this scar remained, it will only pain Nian Nian. He hoped Nian Nian can be happy and not feel heartache and guilt whenever she faced him. Such a Nian Nian only made his heart hurt.
Thus, Gui Yi understood Feng Yi Xuans behavior. He believed it was unlikely to find a man who cared more about little junior sister than Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuans love for little junior sister overcame everything. In Feng Yi Xuans world, little junior sister was the most important. Gui Yi believed it was a great fortune that little junior sister had such a man by her side.
Gui Yi handed the ointment he put together to Feng Yi Xuan, Apply this medicine one time every morning and night. It wont be long before the scarpletely disappears! Speaking of which, not long has passed; otherwise the scar wont be so easy to get rid of.
Feng Yi Xuan thanked him and hastily left the room. A grin appeared on Gui Yis face. Though he said he would let little junior sister go, he hasnt been able to do so. But after this, he couldpletely let little junior sister go or put her in the deepest part of his heart. These feelings will be the love between disciple brother and sister, the love between family.
When Feng Yi Xuan returned to the room and was about to sleep, Lan You Nian opened her eyes. Feng Yi Xuan guiltily asked, I woke you up? Though he wanted to get the medicine with Nian Nian, he considered Nian Nians poison was just detoxified and wasnt willing to wake her up. Hence, he went alone. He didnt intend to hide anything from Nian Nian.
No, Ive already slept so long. I want to take a stroll! Lan You Nian stretched out her waist. Before she could grab her clothes, she saw Feng Yi Xuan bring her clothes to the bed and help her put it on. Lan You Nian allowed Feng Yi Xuan to take care of her and asked, What has been found? How could an insignificant Yue empires princess obtain that poison and dares to directly poison me at the banquet? It looks like someone is behind it all!
Though the person was already killed by Feng Yi Xuan, she Lan You Nian wont let go of the one behind the scenes. Since they dare to poison her in public, this person had guts. Lets see if they are able to endure her and Feng Yi Xuans rage.
Feng Yi Xuan remembered what those people did and the pain Nian Nian suffered. His eyes started to bleed red. Lan You Nian hastily hugged Feng Yi Xuan infort, Xuan, Im fine!
After a while, the violence in Feng Yi Xuans heart calmed. Feng Yi Xuan said, Its certain that someone else was involved with this matter. An Yi already went to investigate it. We know those involved include Feng Shao Chu. Feng Shao Chu has already been captured by imperial brother. How does Nian Nian want to deal with him?
Lan You Nian wasnt at all interested to see Feng Shao Chus end. She knew Feng Shao Chu wasnt the person to think of this scheme. This Feng Shao Chu was really disobedient. He already had no power yet he still wanted to kill her. He really was a fool.
Have brother Xia Qi them handle it. First interrogate Feng Shao Chu who he worked with! Lan You Nian said. She trusted Feng Xia Qi will aplish the task. Feng Yi Xuan didnt have any objection but he already decided on the cruelest torture for Feng Shao Chu. Anyone who harmed Nian Nian, he will let them beg for death.
Because the two dyed for a long time, the two started to handle their own affairs. Lan You Nian returned to You Nian Pavilion. Lan Qu and the others were already waiting there. When they saw their young miss return safe and sound, the fours eyes became red. Even Lan Ren couldnt hold it back. They were nearly going mad from worry. They stayed in Prince Ming manor every day but they can only see young miss still unconscious. If they didnt trust in Prince Ming, they would have snatched young miss back.
Young miss! The four of them suddenly fell to their knees as a show of their concern and joy. Young miss was the salvation in their lives, their master. They could finally be reassured now young miss was safe and sound. Otherwise, if something happens to young miss, they really didnt know what to do.
Lan You Nian helped them to stand. ncing at Zhang Lin and the others standing there respectfully, her heart feltforted. Her world seemed to be filling with more and more loved ones and people she was reluctant to part with.
Has Wu Qing Pavilion been well? Lan You Nian epted the cup of tea Lan Qu handed to her. Whether it was her senior brothers or Lan Ren them, they all revolved around her and stayed in Prince Ming manor. There was no one to handle Wu Qing Pavilions concerns.
Lan Ren epted the tea. In front of young miss, they were all rxed.
There havent been any concerns in Wu Qing Pavilion. Theres now a lot more contact between Wu Qing Pavilion and Ghost Realm. Our Wu Qing Pavilions many businesses are developing even faster! Lan Ren answered. He didnt expect Ghost Realms forces to be so powerful. With Ghost Realms yielding to them and help in the shadows, their Wu Qing Pavilion has earned a lot of money.
Lan You Nian felt speechless when she saw their money-obsessive looks and felt this obsession must have been learned from third brother. Lan You Nian didnt consider that she herself was a little money-infatuated. Her means in getting money werent any less than Gui San.
But, recently the court has been stirring! Lan Feng put down her usually severe face, her face warming and appeared feminine. She reported to Lan You Nian, Because Prince Ming killed Yue empires princess, Yue empires emperor is putting pressure. While young miss was unconscious, Emperor Feng Xia Qi and Empress Yue Bai Lian didnt bother with it. More and more ministers are starting to criticize Prince Mings reckless behavior!
Lan You Nian was miffed. She didnt expect Feng Yi Xuans actions that day would leave something for Yue empire to hold against them. No matter what crime a princess hasmitted, to have been killed without interrogation indeed gave Yue empire a good excuse, an excuse for Feng empire topensate.
Young miss, is Prince Ming in trouble now? Lan Wu asked worriedly. This matter already involved two empires. Though they felt Prince Ming did the right thing, as a prince, he was indeed rash.
Those ministers arent able to trouble Xuan. He can handle it! Though Lan You Nian was worried inside, she believed in Feng YI Xuans abilities even more. Feng Yi Xuan possessed a lot of power, not only from his identity as a prince but most of it, he obtained it by merit. This wouldnt do anything to him. She will face it with him.
Lan You Nian had Lan Ren them bring out Wu Qing Pavilions things to deal with it all...
At this moment at court, it was a mess. Feng Xia Qi wore a bright yellow robe as he sat on the throne. His slightly gentle face was sharp and angr. Under the sharp soaring brows was a pair of spirited foxy eyes. His nose was straight as cypress. His thin lips curled up with the ministers words but that smile didnt reach his eyes.
My beloved subjects have debated for a while. ording to my beloved subjects, what should be done? Feng Xia Qi smiled at the ministers below. Even though many of these ministers slowly rose up in rank, those ministers who were truly upright were few and far in between. This was a problem that existed in every empire.
With Feng Xia Qis words, some ministers stood out, Your Majesty, Prince Mings actions were too rash, killing Yue empires princess so hastily. Yue empires delegates are already on their way. If the two empires are unable toe to an agreement, it might cause a war!
This is caused by Prince Ming. This old subject suggests letting Prince Ming apologize to Yue empire! One old minister stood up. This was the thought of many of the ministers. They all believed the Emperor got rid of all the princes and princesses. Though Prince Ming and the Emperor were true brothers, there was no familial love in the imperial family. The ministers thought the Emperor wanted to get rid of Prince Ming so many ministers started to use Prince Ming.
I heard Lan junzhu has recovered. If Yue empire needs an exnation, we can hand over Lan junzhu the cause of it all to Yue Empire! A minister said fawningly. This made Lan Jian Jun, Jing Wu An and Marquis Jing stone-faced. Before they could vent their rage, the minister who spoke was tossed and crashed into the column with a climbing dragon, instantly speckling the ce with blood.
This prince wants to see who dares to touch this princes princess consort! Everywhere Feng Yi Xuans eyes passed, there was a wave of submission.
No one expected Prince Ming to suddenly appear at court nor did they expect Prince Ming to dare kill a minister at court. Many ministers wanted the Emperor to punish him but when they looked up, they didnt see any dissatisfaction from His Majesty. It even had a hint of agreement. At this, the ministers understood the brotherly love between His Majesty and Prince Ming was real. Theyve really kicked the iron board now.
Feng Yi Xuan walked over to the seat below the throne and sat. This was an honor given by Feng Xia Qi after he ascended the throne. Prince Ming had his own seat at court. He didnt have to stand like the other ministers. Feng Xia Qi even gave the imperial guards over to Feng Yi Xuan to manage. It can be seen his trust in Feng Yi Xuan.
What? Why wont you speak with this prince present? Feng Yi Xuan stared coldly at the ministers below. He could bear those ministers ndering him but if these people dragged Nian Nian in, he didnt care if they were ministers of Feng empire.
Your Majesty, Prince Ming, this subject believes we must deal with Yue empires delegates first! A young official said. Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan spared the young official a look. This one look made Feng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan feel this young official was familiar.
Feng Xia Qi pondered it for a moment and remembered this official was the recently promoted Secretary of the Revenue Department. Because this person was rtively fair, Feng Xia Qi promoted him. Feng Yi Xuan remembered this man was the very man Nian Nian had sung a song for in Zhen Wei Pavilion and even invited the man to a meal. It was a surprise this man became the Secretary of the Revenue Department but Feng Yi Xuan felt this man suited the court.
En Feng Yi Xuan nodded in agreement. He overlooked the ministers below, Since this prince dared to act, I am not afraid of Yue empires harassment. But if there is someone who wants to beguile the masses in our empire, then go apany him! Feng Yi Xuan pointed at the ministerying there. Then he sat there without saying a word but none of the ministers below dared to nder Feng Yi Xuan or Lan You Nian.
Chapter 248 - 23 Prince Ming Manor’s Betrothal Gifts
23 Prince Ming Manors Betrothal Gifts
A slender beauty lies on the soft chaise in the garden of You Nian Pavilion. Her brows curved like crescents,shes like butterfly wings. Between her brows, there was a red vermillion dot, making her appear even more enchanting. Her face was white as fine jade, breakable with a single touch. Her hair was done into a cloud hairstyle, exposing her jade-like neck. She was dressed in brocadeyers that spread all over the floor. Only several slender fingers were exposed. From far away, it was really beautiful.
As soon as Gui Yi Zi and the others entered You Nian Pavilion, they saw this stunning scenery. Even though Lan You Nian was the girl they all saw grow up, they couldnt help sigh that time really rushed by like water. The spirited jade child has now be a fairy-like beauty.
Master! My brothers, why are you all here? Lan You Nian hastily rose to her feet when she saw Gui Yi Zi and the five brothers. Lan Qu brought out the tea set. Lan You Nian poured tea for the six of them as she asked them. Her master has been living in Prince Ming manor thest few days. The other brothers lived in Xiao Jin Pavilion. Considering it, a month has passed since her poison was cured.
Gui Yi Zi sipped on the tea Lan You Nian brewed and felt in a better mood. Thea tea Nianer made tasted the best, not like the stinky brats with him who were useless. Its good that he picked up little Nianer all those years ago.
Your master has stayed in the capital for long enough. There isnt anyone in the Medical Valley to manage it. Master came to tell you master will be going back! Though Gui Yi Zi was reluctant to part with his youngest disciple Lan You Nian, as a person of the pugilistic world, he still preferred living in the Medical Valley. He didnt like the bustling capital. Gui Yi Zi was a little miffed, If master doesnt go back, I will be annoyed to death by those shadow guards in Prince Ming manor!
After Gui Yi Zi said this, the others nodded in agreement. Gui Er eximed, Little junior sister you dont know, not only do those shadow guards bother master frequently, they wont even let us go!
Lan You Nian gaped in surprise at their grumbling expressions. She didnt understand why the shadow guards in Prince Ming manor would harass master them. Whatever those shadow guards did must have been on Feng Yi Xuans orders. Lan You Nian asked curiously, Did they make trouble for you? If it was true, she must have a talk with Feng Yi Xuan. Master them was important to them. They were the family that were indispensible to her.
Gui Wu hastily waved his hand. Though they came toin and tattle-tell, they didnt want to incite strife between little junior sister and Prince Mings rtionship. Theyve already epted Prince Ming bing little junior sisters husband.
Hmph! It would be fine if they were! Those shadow guards treat us too well. If we need anything, they would bring it to us. Whatever we do, those shadow guards will help out! Gui Si dered chillingly. He was nearly made made by Prince Ming manors shadow guards. If you wanted to have a fight with him, dont worry, those shadow guards will let you win. That respectful and ttering attitude made Gui Sis head ache.
Ah? Lan You Nian was confused. Why did Feng Yi Xuan do this. Even if master and her senior brothers were her family, he should do this. Why would these shadow guards be so shameless?
Why is this? Lan You Nian pulled on Gui Yi Zis sleeve. She can tell master was angry. But there were people treating master them nicely, why should they be angry?
Though Gui Yi Zi wanted to be angry with Feng Yi Xuan, faced with the disciple he protected as she grew, he didnt have a temper. He only curled his beard saying, That stinky brat wants to marry our familys little Nian Nian. Hmph! Little Nian Nian is still young yet he wants to steal you away! Master doesnt agree. He actually has those shadow guards endlessly fawn over master. Is master that kind of person?
Gui San quietly shot Lan You Nian a you understand expression. Who was it that carried off with many good medicinal herbs from Prince Ming manor and had the shadow guards in Prince Ming manor find good food and drink for him. Master grows more yful the older he gets!
Pu! Lan You Nian spewed out the tea in her mouth. She never imagined that Feng Yi Xuan did all this to marry her sooner. Lan You Nian remembered herself saying he must obtain masters agreement. She never expected Feng Yi Xuans way of fawning over people was so strange. No wonder master was so angry.
Then did master agree? Lan You Nian asked curiously. She knew Prince Ming manors shadow guards were as cold as Feng Yi Xuan but in front of their own people, they wore a different face. They were all soedic.
You ah! Gui Yi Zi tapped Lan You Nians forehead, and sighed in exasperation, You are so young yet you already think about marriage. And before you marry that stinky brat, your elbows already face outward. What a waste of master spoiling you for so many years!
Lan You Nian tried to defend herself as her face flushed, Am not! But none of the seated people believed her words.
As they allughed and teased, Lan Jian Jun and Lan Mo Xian came together to You Nian Pavilion. Lan Jian Jun saw Gui Yi Zi and respectfully bowed, Teacher! Lan Jian Juns respect was not only because of Gui Yi Zis reputation in the pugilistic world, this elder has saved his daughter and has raised his daughter into an adult. Lan Jian Jun was intensely grateful to Gui Yi Zi.
Gui Yi Zi nodded. Though he knew little Nianer has forgiven her father, and they believed this to be a good thing, in his heart Gui Yi Zi still didnt have a good impression of Lan Jian Jun, so he didnt offer him a good face. But he gave little Nianer face and didnt harass the other.
Why has fathere? Lan You Nian wondered why they all came together to You Nian Pavilion.
Father came for your marriage. Prince Ming already proposed marriage to your father. I heard teacher was here so I came. Nianer was raised by teacher. This marriage must have teachers say! Lan Jian Jun sat down exining. Actually, he was shocked by Prince Mings sudden marriage proposal. After considering it several times over, he wanted to let old teacher Gui Yi Zi to make the decision.
Gui Yi Zi was pleased by Lan Jian Juns tact and his face became much better. He looked at Lan You Nian, his gaze filled with benevolence, Though master is reluctant to let little Nianer marry so early, master knows of the feelings between you two. Its already autumn. After winter passes and this year is over, next year little Nianer will marry at fifteen! Gui Yi Zi felt sour in his heart and then shouted, Stinky brat, if you dont treat little Nianer well, little Nianer still has the time to change her mind!
With Gui Yi Zis words, Feng Yi Xuan, Feng Xia Qi and the others walked into You Nian Pavilions courtyard. Feng Yi Xuan pulled Lan You Nian into his arms, dering smugly, I wont give Nian Nian the chance to change her mind!
Feng Xia Qi them truly felt happy for Feng Yi Xuan. Gui San looked at Feng Yi Xuan, Since youre marrying next year, Prince Ming, cant you be modest in front of us? Little junior sister hasnt married you yet! In his heart, he was still angry over An Er constantly harassing him. Prince Mings subordinates were bizarre with their way of ingratiating themselves with others. Gui San believed if they didnt agree to let little junior sister marry Prince Ming, they can forget living the rest of their days in peace.
She will marry me! Feng Yi Xuan dered proudly. His greatest pride wasnt that he built Ghost Realm, a force that can bring terror with its name, not bathing in the blood of his enemies on the battlefield as he killed them, making the enemy retreat, not the fact no one in court dared to offend him, but that he can marry Nian Nian. This was his greatest pride.
I can give the shop to the southern side of the capital to you! Feng Yi Xuan said to Gui San after some consideration.
Hearing this, Gui San was excited. The shops in the capitals southern side were really profitable but he was unable to obtain any. Now such a shop that was in great demand was presented to him, Gui San eyes popped with money. Yet Gui San didnt know, no matter how much money he earned, wasnt it all Wu Qing Pavilions. Wu Qing Pavilion belonged to Lan You Nian, so Feng Yi Xuan was only handing the shops in his hands to Lan You Nian.
After discussing it, Gui Yi Zi reminded Feng Yi Xuan of some things he needed to pay mind to. Though the poison in Lan You Nians body has been detoxified, after so many years the poison has already depleted Lan You Nians body and needed to be carefully nursed back to health.
Wont master stay for a few more days? Lan You Nian asked, longingly, though she knew the capital didnt suit master, a person of the pugilistic world.
Gui Yi Zi looked at little Nianer who was like her younger self who depended on this master and felt much better about Feng Yi Xuan stealing away his disciple. Gui Yi Zi shook his head, The Medical Valley needs this old man. Gui Er and Gui Si will return to the Medical Valley with master!
Neither Gui Er or Gui Si had any objections to Gui Yi Zis arrangements. Even if they didnt return to Medical Valley, theyd be wandering around in the pugilistic world. To them, there is no difference. Because wherever they were, they knew where their home was. They were never lonely.
You must be careful. In the stinky brats letter, he asked this old man why someone can use poison bug to change ones face. Nor is little Nianers poison created by some ordinary person. Gui Yi Zi said with obvious worry, The only one besides this old man who can make this poison!
Master, who is it? Gui San asked curiously. They didnt expect there to be someones medical skills to be a match for masters. They have never heard master mention this person. Based on this, Gui San them knew this person wasnt someone easy to interact with. This person also hurt little junior sister. Thus, they wouldnt forget this.
Gui Yi Zi sighed and seemed to remember, If master guessed correctly, this person is Du Niang Zi. She once studied under the same teacher as master, as well as masters junior sister. When master was young, I concentrated on medical skills while Du Niang Zi was unmatched in the field of using poisons. Du Niang Zi did things very strangely. We dont have any friendship. Later, Du Niang Zi was chased out of Medical Valley by master for killing a fellow disciple. Master hasnt seen her since. From what you said, this Du Niang Zi must have joined some sect and do some harmful deeds.
This Du Niang Zi has tried to harm little junior sister or to say she has been targeting Feng empire. Her heart is vicious. Is that why master has disciple stay in the capital? Gui Yi asked. Usually master had him return to the Medical Valley to manage matters but this time master had him stay in the capital.
En, if you encounter Du Niang Zi, you must be careful. If you can avoid it, avoid it, dont fight with your life! Gui Yi Zi said to Lan You Nian and the others. In Gui Yi Zis eyes, nothing was more important than the few youngsters safety.
We know. I will protect Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan promised. He already let Nian Nian be hurt. He wont let it happen a second time. Its time to get rid of this Du Niang Zi. Otherwise, it would be cancerous.
Master, how is Du Niang Zis martial arts? Feng Yi Xuan asked. They knew nothing of Du Niang Zi. Even Ghost Realm and Wu Qing Pavilion had no information on Du Niang Zi.
Gui Yi Zi recalled some things, Her poison skills is very good so Du Niang Zis qinggong is very good but her martial arts isnt very good. But Du Niang Zi has poison all over her body. If he catch her, you cant get too close to her!
Though Feng Yi Xuan was usually arrogant and had the conceit of a superior, Feng Yi Xuan nodded with respect in front of Gui Yi Zi.
Gui Yi Zi left without eating lunch, taking Gui Er and Gui Si with him and left the capital and turned to the Medical Valley belonging to the pugilistic world.
Seven days have passed since Gui Yi Zi left the capital. Recently Lan You Nian has been overlooking Wu Qing Pavilions affairs. She just so happened to have some free time and was going to brew some peach blossom wine but before she could start she heard Hua Mu Qing and Yue Bai Lian chattering as they ran into You Nian Pavilion, even the usually sedate Lan Qu was stirring with excitement.
Nianer, go to the front hall quickly! Hua Mu Qing pulled on Lan You Nian and ran to the front hall. Lan You Nian was about to reject her but her other hand was grabbed by Yue Bai Lian. Lan You Nian was helpless as she walked into the front hall with everyone.
The moment Lan You Nian entered the front hall, she realized why they were so excited. Today was the day Prince Ming manor was proposing marriage to Lan manor and sending over the bridal gifts. This wasnt the most important. The most important was the astounding bridal gifts.
Lan You Nian knew a woman from a normal family only had four or six sets of betrothal gifts. Even a princess or junzhus betrothal gifts had eight. However, Lan You Nian was unable to count how many betrothal gifts Prince Ming manor had carried in. There was nowhere to put it. The gates of Lan manor were crowded with many sets of gifts, as it piled up in the streets. Lan You Nian suspected there was likely several hundred. It can be considered the most betrothal gifts a woman has ever received.
Lan You Nian stood at the doors of Lan manor, listening to An Sis voice keeping count, as well as Uncle Lans beaming smile as he nodded. The front of Lan manor was filled with a crowd of civilians who looked enviously at the rare betrothal gifts.
The one to offer the betrothal gifts should be a well-respected person. The one toe to offer the gifts was Jing manors Marquis Jing Leng and Emperor Feng Xia Qi. She can be counted as the first who has ever received such honor. Lan You Nian was a little stunned, but she was touched by Feng Yi Xuans attachment of importance to this marriage.
Jian Jun, look at the betrothal gift list! Jing Leng handed the long betrothal gift list to Lan Jian Jun, his eyes filled with gratification. His two nephews found their own loves. He as the uncle can be reassured.
Lan Jian Jun nced over the list. Though he had prepared himself, he was still shocked. Many objects on the list were priceless. Seeing Prince Ming has practically moved out all the things in Prince Ming manors storage, Lan Jian Jun was pleased.
Uncle Lan, after making note of the amount, put these gifts into the storehouse. When Nianer marries, add it into Nianers dowry! Lan Jian Jun had no greed in his eyes. Usually the betrothal gifts were given to the womans family but Lan Jian Jun refused to take a single cent, making people admire Lan Jian Juns honesty.
After the betrothal gifts were sent out, the whole of the capital, from the streets to the alleys were circting about the betrothal gifts given by Prince Ming manor to Lan manor.
Chapter 249 - 24 Reincarnation of the Evil Star
24 Reincarnation of the Evil Star
At a time when Feng empire was extremely peaceful, Feng Yi Xuan did something that made Lan You Nians heart ache for him. Feng Yi Xuan discarded the potion that concealed the color of his eyes and used his real eye color to face the public eye.
When Feng Yi Xuan wore his purple eyes to court, not only were the schrly and military officials stunned, Feng Xia Qi who sat on the throne didnt understand what was going on. In the past, his younger brother was called a monster because of those violet eyes and has received many scornful looks and verbal abuse. It was because of these eyes that his younger brother was unwilling to speak with other little children. Later, his younger brother had his own power and concealed those violet eyes. The rumors faded. Feng Yi Xuan looked at his younger brother in confusion.
At court, everyone used an expression as if they were seeing a monster as they nced at Prince Ming. Even if the Emperors expression was cold and without a smile, it couldnt keep everyones curious gaze. Their gazes were disgusting.
After morning court was over, the rumors of Prince Mings devilish violet eyes spread. It really was that good news didnt leave the while while the bad news spread a thousand miles. In an instant, the entire capital started to discuss if Prince Ming was the reincarnation of the devil. If they werent fearful of Prince Ming manors might and means, manymoners would demonstrate at Prince Ming manors doors.
AXuan, what are you doing? In the imperial study, the two brothers sat facing one another. Feng Xia Qi no longer wore a smile as he scolded Feng Yi Xuan in vexation. Though he wasnt as capable as this younger brother, he was already the Emperor. He wanted to protect hese people but this younger brother caused such trouble. How can Feng Xia Qi not be angry.
Feng Yi Xuan gazed at Feng Xia Qi without any concealment. Feng Xia Qi wasnt afraid. When it was between their own people, Feng Yi Xuan didnt conceal his eyes. None of them felt Feng Yi Xuan was the devil. But because they felt this way didnt mean themoners will feel this way. Rumors can be more harmful than anything.
You already proposed marriage to Lan manor yet you revealed your eyes at a time like this. You should think about Nianer! Feng Xia Qi looked at Feng Yi Xuan in disapproval. Before, others were envious of Lan You Nian can marry Prince Ming but now people werementing. This wasnt fair to Nianer.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes shed when Feng Xia Qi mentioned Nian Nian and then exined, When I first met Nian Nian, Nian Nian didnt condemn me for my eyes. AS long as Nian Nian isnt afraid and doesnt scorn me, I dont care!
Of course I know Nianer doesnt care but you cant do this. Themoners have nearly forgotten after hiding it for so many years. Once it is revealed, who knows what rumors will begin again! Feng Xia Qi knew Nianer didnt care. When they thought Nianers face was disfigured, Feng Yi Xuan still loved her, uncaring about everything else. Nianer didnt mind when she saw Feng Yi Xuans eyes. The love between the two of them made people envious.
Next year at the start of spring, I will marry Nian Nian! Feng Yi Xuan said, his eyes filling with a gentle smile and expectations. Actually he was already preparing for the wedding. He wanted to give Nian Nian a wedding she will never forget.
Uh I know! Feng Xia Qi didnt understand. He was there when the betrothal gifts were offered. How wouldnt he know they would be married next year?
Nian Nian is only fifteen next year and hasnte of age! Feng Yi Xuan exined.
Feng Xia Qi nodded to show he understood. Suddenly Feng Xia Qi asked disbelievingly, So you deliberately revealed your violet eyes because of Nianer? But why? I know its not proper for Nianer to marry you before shees of age but what is the use of this?
Most women married after they came of age. Those women who married beforeing of age were only concubines or werent favored by the husbands family. If an ordinary woman married beforeing of age, it was a great shame to others.
I know imperial brother has a good rtionship with the head Master Wu Tian of the imperial temple. I hope imperial brother can have Master Wu Tian announce to the world that Prince Ming is an evil star reincarnated but Princess Consort Ming is lucky star born. As long as Princess Consort Ming marries Prince Ming sooner, the evil star will be reformed by the lucky star, and be the guardian of Feng empire! Feng Yi Xuan told him his ns. This way would make his reputation worse but make Nian Nian into the woman the entire of Feng empire will thank. With this, Nian Nian wont be talked about for marrying him beforeing of age.
Additionally, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to use his real appearance to face the world. He didnt like to be separated by ayer of potion every time he looked at Nian Nian.
Eh! Feng Xia Qi was unable to scold his younger brothers deep affection. He was unwilling to let Nianer suffer the slightest grievance, even if it was just rumors. As his imperial brother, paired with his feelings for Nianer, Feng Xia Qi would help him.
You must know how difficult it is to see Master Wu Tian, and to let Master Wu Tian lie, do you think its possible AXuan? Feng Xia Qi asked in vexation. The Imperial Temple was respected by everyone in Feng empire. Everyday people went to the temple to offer incense in an endless stream. The Imperial temple was responsible for divining the stars and praying. The head of the imperial temple Master Wu Tian was even more mysterious and was respected, even more respected than him the Emperor. He did know Master Wu Tian but to have Master Wu Tian lie...Feng Xia Qi felt it wasnt likely.
Master Wu Tian will agree because you are the Emperor! If he doesnt agree, dont me me for really bing the killing star! Feng Yi Xuan dered, his eyes shing coldly. He actually quite respected that Master Wu Tian for Master Wu Tian was apassionate monk, but for Nian Nian, so what if he had to threaten him?
Feng Xia Qis lips twitched. This younger brother of his really didnt do things normally, even daring to threaten Master Wu Tian. But Feng Xia Qi had to admit this was the best method. Only, he had to be the bad guy. He hoped Master Wu Tian can give him a good face when they meet.
Alright, I know what to do! Feng Xia Qi said with a bitter face, You should go back to see Nianer. The rumors in the capital has most likely turned over the sky!
Without any salutations, Feng Yi Xuan used qingong to leave the imperial pce....
When Feng Yi Xuan returned to You Nian Pavilion, he noticed Nian Nian was already waiting there as if waiting for him. Feng Yi Xuans heart ached as he hurried over to Lan You Nians side, taking off his outer robe to drape it over Lan You Nian, scolding, Its already entered autumn. Why are you standing in the wind?
Lan You Nian lifted her head to look into the unconcealed violet orbs. Those violet eyes reflected her figure. Those violet orbs were brimming with love for her. Lan You Nian lifted her hand to gently stroke Feng Yi Xuans violet eyes. She always thought those eyes were the most beautiful gems in the world.
Why? Lan You Nians voice held heartache and helplessness.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian and frowned as he weighed her in his arms. Why was Nian Nian so light? With a nce at Nian Nians slim body, Feng Yi Xuan determined he must fatten Nian Nian up.
Entering the pavilion, Feng Yi Xuan said, You once said theres no need to bother with others gazes. I hope to use my real face to see you. He didnt want to hide his eyes outside. Nian Nian wouldnt be seeing the real him.
Lan You Nian clenched her teeth on the neck Feng Yi Xuan exposed outside but was reluctant to use strength. Her heart hurt as she licked it but her licking lured out the fire in Feng Yi Xuans body.
Is it because of me? Lan You Nian buried herself in Feng Yi Xuans arms. Though she didnt know what Feng Yi Xuan wanted to do, Lan You Nians insticts told her that Feng Yi Xuan did this most likely for her.
No, for us! Feng Yi Xuans voice was lowered, making his voice sound low and deep as if a zither was humming, making Lan You Nians heart tremble.
As Feng Yi Xuan expected, after Feng Xia Qi saw Master Wu Tian and begged and threatened, a few dayster, Master Wu Tian who was rarely seen appeared in the imperial temple and said, he observed the sky at night and knew that Prince Ming was the reincarnation of an evil star. Only Lan manors legitimate daughter Lan junzhu could reform him, dissolving Prince Ming of his hostility and be the guardian of Feng empire!
If this was said by another, even the Emperor, themoners wouldnt believe it but it was different when this was said by Master Wu Tian. In themoners eyes, Master Wu Tianwere like the reclusive eminent monk, his every act and word was respected by themoners. Master Wu Tian has made predictions several times before which have alle true.
So themoners were extremely eager for Lan junzhu to marry Prince Ming, the sooner the better. Lan You Nian in themoners eyes was a fairy who was the savior of the world. No one scorned her but respected her.
AXuan, your idea is simply amazing! Jing Wu An held Yu Liu Lis hand as they sat in Prince Ming manors garden, grinning at Feng Yi Xuan.
Yeah, all the officials in court issued memorials to have Xia Qi decree the marriage of AXuan and Nianer. It looks like they cant wait for you two to get married right away! Yu Liu Yi continued. Though he didnt interfere with matters of court, he was still aware of certain things.
AXuan, you are too anxious! Nianer is still young! Though Lan Mo Xian knew father has agreed to Prince Ming manors marriage but to marry out his little sister so early, as the older brother, Lan Mo Xian felt uneasy inside.
I cant wait a single moment! Feng Yi Xuan said, pouring water for Lan You Nian. The wedding date has been set on next years second month. Only a few months were left. Feng Yi Xuan longed for time to pass by quicker.
Chapter 250 - 25 Hua Xiu Yi in Trouble
25 Hua Xiu Yi in Trouble
Master, Yue empires delegates are already on their way to Feng empire! An Yi reported to his master. This time, Yue empire wasing to Feng empire to denounce master for his crimes.
En, do we know what is Yue empires ns? Feng Yi Xuan asked.
Yes, we have! An Yi felt as his head was numb as bit the bullet as he answered. To find out this matter, they sent out several of Ghost Realms assassins to sneak into Yue empires entourage but what they found will certainly make master angry.
Because the emperor of Yue empire knows the princess was killed because of the Princess Consort, Yue empires Crown Prince hase with this entourage. He ns to marry our Princess Consort to torment! An Yi announced with rage. What kind of person was their Prince Ming manors princess consort. How could such filthy people covet her? And from what the intelligence report said, if Feng empire doesnt give out the princess consort, Yue empire will put the me on Princess consort, making Princess Consort into a femme fatale.
They dare! Feng Yi Xuan knocked over the desk in the study, a storm raging in his eyes. Is his Nian Nian to be coveted by such scum? And to have such designs. Even if An Yi didnt say it clearly, Feng Yi Xuan knew of Yue empires filthy designs.
Yue empires delegates encountered bandits through the mountains of Yue empire. Yue empires crown prince as well as the delegates died at the hands of the bandits! Feng Yi Xuans profound violet eyes shed with potent killing intent. Looking into those eyes, one seemed to see a mountain of corpses and blood...
Yes! An Yi immediately withdrew to make arrangements. Their brothers of the Ghost Realm already desired to kill this Yue empire that covets their Princess consort. They were only waiting for masters word.
Feng Yi Xuans arrangement was for the best. It vented his anger and got rid of the scum who coveted Nian Nian. At the junction of Yue empire there was indeed a group of brutal bandits. Even if those people died, it was in Yue empires boundaries and had nothing to do with Feng Empire. No one will suspect Feng empire.
Lan You Nian was reviewing documents form Wu Qing Pavilion. Suddenly, from outside You Nian Pavilion came the sounds of fighting. From the sounds of it, Lan You Nian knew someone must have barged into You Nian Pavilion and was intercepted by Zhang Lin and the others.
Young miss, I will go take a look! Lan Feng charged out with her sword in hand. Lan You Nian followed behind her. Its been so long. Very few people were so blind as to look for trouble with You Nian Pavilion.
When Lan You Nian and Lan Feng came out of You Nian Pavilion, they saw a man in ck stealth outfit heavily injured as he was surrounded by Zhang Lin and the other guards. It was telling that mans martial arts were very good but because of the injuries on his body, his movements were slower.
Lan You Nian felt this man was familiar. After taking a careful look, wasnt this man Hua Xiu Yis shadow guard AMu? Why has hee to Feng empire? to Lan manor? Though Lan You Nian was heartless, Feng Yi Xuan already told her, she was able to be cured of her poison with Hua Xiu Yis help, giving her such precious and priceless herb as the Heavenly Celestial Grass without a care to the dangers. Lan You Nian remembered this kindness. Feng Yi Xuan will remember this this favor. For Lan You Nian, Hua Xiu Yi was an old friend.
Stop! Lan You Nian eximed. But Zhang Lins sword was unable to be retracted as it charged towards AMu. Lan You Nian grabbed Lan Fengs sword and flew over to AMus side, flicking away Zhang Lins sword. If Lan You Nian waste a step, AMu will certainly be gravely injured.
Young miss! Zhang Lin jumped in fright. He naturally heard young misss voice but was unable to retract his hand. If he hurt some important people because of his errors, a thousand deaths cannot absolve him of his me.
Its fine! I made a sound too suddenly. Its not your fault. You may withdraw! Lan You Nian returned the sword to Lan Feng and waved her hand to let Zhang Lin and the others leave. Lan You Nian could tell AMu had some matter to tell her that shouldnt be overheard.
When Zhang Lin and the others withdrew, AMu suddenly knelt on the ground, his gaze despairing as he said, Please ask Lan junzhu to lend a saving hand to save the Crown Prince from danger!
Somethings happened to Hua Xiu Yi? Lan You Nian asked in surprise. In their intelligence, they still received news of Hua Xiu Yis matters. Lan you Nian only knew Hua Xiu Yi was currently fighting for power with his imperial father. She didnt expect him to encounter trouble. From AMus expression, she can tell Hua Xiu Yis current situation wasnt very good.
Yes, Crown Prince is currently fighting for imperial power with Hia Majesty. Orginally the power was equally divided between them but after Crown Prince was gravely injured after stealing the Heavenly Celestial Grass from the imperial pce, Crown Prince was surrounded and attacked by the imperial guards when attending a pce banquet, Crown Prince was caught by the Emperor. Now his life or death is unknown! AMu med himself for the Crown Princes situation. As a shadow guard, he wasnt able to protect his master, This subordinate escaped from the imperial guards and raced to Feng empire while being pursued by the Emperors subordinates. The Crown Prince doesnt have any friends, but this subordinate boldly begs Lan junzhu to lend a hand, considering the Crown Prince has saved Lan junzhu.
Such a thing happened? Lan You Nian didnt expect that man to be in grave danger. As a friend or savior, Lan You Nian could not ignore and turn a blind eye. But this matter not only involved some act of kindness, it involved matters between empires. She cant rashly charge over to Hua empire.
Lan Feng, take him and bandage him up! Seeing AMus anxious expression, Lan You Nianforted him, Rest assured, Hua Xiu Yi saved this junzhu, this junzhu is not ungrateful. But this matter requires some nning, so you must nurse your injuries first!
AMu knew his situation wasnt optimistic. Hearing Lan junzhus promise, AMus heart rxed. He was uneasy all the way to Feng empire. He knew it was irrational to ask for help from Lan junzhu. There was no friendship between Hua empire and Feng empire. And Lan junzhu was Prince Mings fiance. But remembering Crown Princes unusual behavior towards Lan junzhu, AMu believed there was no other person to ask for help from and came to Feng empire to try his luck. He didnt expect this Lan junzhu to agree without any hesitation. It was rare to have such a faithful woman. It was no wonder Crown Prince always thought about her.
When Lan Feng took AMu to bandage his wounds, Lan You Nian went into the pavilion to put on a cloak and sat on Lan manors carriage to find Feng Yi Xuan. This wasnt a small matter. Lan You Nian needed to discuss it with Feng Yi Xuan to make her decision.
Lan You Nian Feng Yi Xuan was in the pce. Because Lan You Nian was the Empresss best friend, as well as the little sister and sister-inw the Emperor himself had recognized, as well as Prince Mings fiance, she can directly enter the pce. Like Prince Ming, she can enter the pce in a carriage. This honor made many children of official families red-eyed with envy.
After entering the pce, she learned Feng Yi Xuan was in the imperial studey with Feng Xia Qi discussing court matters. Though Lan You Nian knew she could enter the imperial study, but as a woman, as well as a princess consort, Lan You Nian told the eunuch outside the imperial study to let Prince Ming pick her up from the Empresss pce when he came out. Lan You Nian then directly headed towards Yue Bai Lians ce.
Why have youe to my ce today? Yue Bai Lian rose from her phoenix throne the moment she saw Lan You Nian. The two were like good sisters as they sat in the imperial gardens admiring flowers and chatting. Even if Yue Bai Lian was now the mistress of the imperial harem, she didnt put on airs with Lan You Nian, even her motives from the beginning have not changed.
Haha, I came to find Xuan. Theyre busy in the imperial study so I came to see you. What? Not weing? Lan You Nian pretended to be angry as she pulled on Yue Bai Lians hand, her nose wrinkled, appearing very endearing.
How is that possible? Yue Bai Lian thought it was for real as she hastily exined, I hope you cane every day. If I wasnt afraid Prince Ming will get jealous, I hope you can stay in the pce for some time! Yue Bai Lian would often leave the pce with Feng Xia Qi to visit Lan manor. They can be considered the most different Emperor and Empress in history.
Hhaha! Lan You Nian chuckled embarrassedly. Feng Yi Xuan really loved to eat vinegar but she liked this feeling of being in someones heart, so the both of them was one person willing to hit and the other willing to bear it.
What about you? Are you living well? How does Xia Qi treat you? Lan You Nian asked with concer. As a friend and as a sister, Lan You Nian was greatly concerned for Yue Bai Lian. In Lan You Nians eyes, Yue Bai Lian was from her maiden family.
Hearing Lan You Nians concern, Yue Bai Lians face carried a smile. Thinking there was only a single mistress in the pce and there wasnt anyplicated inner conflicts, and Feng Xia Qi showed great care for her and never made things difficult for her, the two of them mutually respected and loved one another. How many women were able to have such a life?
I am well, I am happy! Yue Bai Lians face carried a gentleness that has never appeared on her face. Lan You Nian knew Yue Bai Lian to be telling the truth. It looks like it was a good thing the two were together.
What? Is Nianer standing on Bai Lians side? Ffng Xia Qi and Feng Yi Xuan walked into the imperial gardens and overheard Lan You Nians question and couldnt help tease her.
Feng Yi Xuan sat down beside Lan You Nian. Feng Xia Qi sat beside Yue Bai Lian. The four people became the most beautiful scenery in the gardens, more lovely than the charming flowers.
Cant you see? Though you are Xuans brother, I am Bai Lians maiden family. If I know you bullied Bai Lian, hmph! Lan You Nian raised her small fists, making Feng Yi Xuanugh.
Feng Xia Qi pulled Yue Bai Lians hand, dering his innocence, When did I bully Bai Lian? It would be good if Bai Lian doesnt bully me!
They burst intoughter. This feeling of having friends and family and lovers in their life was really blissful...
You came to the pce to see me. Has something happened? Feng Yi Xuan asked. Usually Nian Nian wouldnt search for him so urgently. Nian Nian showed her care for him but most of the time, she wont interfere with his matters, though he hoped she would involve herself in all of his matters.
All the people present were their own people so Lan You Nian didnt conceal anything as she told them what AMu told her.
Xuan, Im going to go save Hua Xiu Yi. Will you be angry? Lan You Nian knew Feng Yi Xuan doesnt have any good feelings for Hua Xiu Yi, but whether it was the herb or saving her from the trapst time, LAn You Nian owed it to Hua Xiu Yi. So even if Feng Yi Xuan will get angry, she will go to Hua empire but Lan You Nian didnt want there to be any secrets or misunderstandings between the two of them.
What are you thinking? Feng Yi Xuanughed humorously as he knocked on Lan You Nians forehead, Why would I be angry at you? You are safe and sound by my side. It was all thanks to Hua Xiu Yis help. I once said if he was able to obtain the herb, I was willing to help him take Hua empires throne!
Feng Yi Xuan wasnt a good person. From many matters, he was a bad person but with anything that concerned Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan had a sincere heart. He knew of Hua Xiu Yis feelings for Nian Nian. If Hua Xiu Yi was a covetous person, Feng Yi Xuan didnt need others to make the move and would get rid of Hua Xiu Yi. But clearly Hua Xiu Yi was not. He was someone who understood how to bless others, the same as his imperial brother. Feng Yi Xuan, from a certain angle, admired Hua Xiu Yi, so whether it was because of that kindness or other reasons, he will lend a hand.
En, you are amazing! Lan You Nian beamed as she kissed Feng Yi Xuans cheek.
Though Feng Yi Xuan enjoyed Lan You Nian taking the initiative, his ears still turned red from the eyes on them. Lan You Nian would sometimes feel strange. Sometimes Feng Yi Xuan was like a hungry wolf like on the bed but other times he was shy.
You guys can go without worries. Hua empires crown prince has helped us greatly. Whether it is to return the favor or something else, you guys should lend your hand. As for matters of the empire, theres us! Feng Xia Qi consoled. He admired Hua empires crown prince. He can already faintly tell Hua empires crown princes feelings for Nianer.
Thanks imperial brother, imperial sister inw! Feng Yi Xuan left the pce with Lan You Nian. Hua Xiu Yis situation was dangerous. If they wentte, they might only be retrieving Hua Xiu Yis corpse. Since Feng Yi Xuan decided to save Hua Xiu Yi, he will do his upmost.
Chapter 251 - 26 Arriving in Hua Empire
26 Arriving in Hua Empire
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian were disguised as merchants as they entered Hua empires capital. Hua empire was fabulously rich with magnificent buildings of carved and painted beams. There were green mountains and rivers, and chirping birds and fragrance of flowers. On the streets, shops filled the eyes. The cries of sales came one after another. Men and women walked in groups, forming into a picture of prosperity. Hua empire has already entered autumn but the women still were dressed thinly, as well as the men. Inparison, Lan You Nian seemed to be wearing too much.
Hua empires capital is stunning! Lan You Nian praised as she looked over the Hua empire that was different than Feng empire. Maybe because she was stuck in the Jing capital every day, the moment she came to Hua empire, Lan You Nian felt this unfamiliar environment made her eyes light up.
If Nian Nian likes it, once we saved Hua Xiu Yi, we can stay in Hua empire for some time, Feng Yi Xuan said smiling. Even in Hua empires capital, Feng Yi Xuan had a very luxurious courtyard.
After the group entered the courtyard, Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian as he sat and looked to AMu who was obviously anxious ever since they arrived in Hua empire, We havent found whether Hua Xiu Yi is alive or dead but this prince believes Hua Xiu Yis forces in Hua empire isnt small. Contact those forces to find whether Hua Xiu Yi is alive or dead. Then we will think of a n!
AMu bowed and left the courtyard. From thest few days, AMu discovered Prince Ming sincerely wished to save Crown Prince, so AMu trusted Prince Ming and Lan junzhu. Rumors have it that Prince Mings martial arts was very powerful. If they had Prince Mings help, they will be able to safely rescue the Crown Prince.
Xuan, do you think Hua Xiu Yi is still alive? Lan You Nian observed the brand new courtyard as she asked. Though she already considers Hua Xiu Yi her friend, if Hua Xiu Yi died, they would have wasted a trip.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian as they looked around the serene courtyard. This was a huge ancient courtyard that rested at the food of Hua empires secluded and pale mountain in the capital. Behind the courtyard was a forest of bamboo. The segmented bamboo drooped from the walls like whips. Below there was a clean spring well. In the gardens there were rare red and green dragonflies.
Hua Xiu Yi is very shrewd. Otherwise he wouldt be able to sit on the seat of Crown Prince with Hua empires emperors oppression and take over half the court. Even if he is in danger, with Hua Xiu Yis abilities, his life isnt in danger. Hua empires emperor probably wont kill Hua Xiu Yi at this time! Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian as they strolled around. Amongst the younger generation, Feng Yi Xuan only had a good impression of Hua Xiu Yi. In the past, Feng Yi Xuan had estimated that this Hua Empire will end up in Hua Xiu Yis hands.
Listening to Feng Yi Xuans analysis, Lan You Nian was in agreement but still asked in confusion, Why wont the emperor kill Hua Xiu Yi. I dont believe Hua empires emperor is a father who loves his son! From what the intelligence report said, this Hua Empires emperor was a dissolute man.
He naturally isnt a good father but Hua Xiu Yi already has the imperial jade seal in his hand. An emperor without the imperial jade seal, what is his use? So even if he has captured Hua Xiu Yi, he wont kill him. He will only force a confession of the imperial jade seals whereabouts. With Hua Xiu Yis smarts, he wont tell him where the jade seal is! Feng Yi Xuan answered. This information was only obtained after Ghost Realm spent a lot of effort.
Oh, its like this! Lan You Nian had to admit Ghost Realm was much more powerful than Wu Qing Pavilion, for Wu Qing Pavilion didnt get this news. Thinking that Hua Xiu Yi should be fine, Lan You Nian was reassured. Looking at the courtyard, she asked, This courtyard is beautiful. Do you have a ce everywhere?
Feng Yi Xuan considered it. Ghost Realm has been developing well these years, Not every ce but there will be! That way he and Nian Nian can sight-see together and make Nian Nian happy.
Youve already given such a heavy betrothal gift, and you still have so much money? Lan You Nian muttered. She was stunned when she saw the list of betrothal gifts. It wasnt a small amount of wealth. It can practically be considered a national treasury. Afterwards, Lan You Nian asked An San if Feng Yi Xuan brought out everything from Prince Ming Manor. An San didnt refute it.
I still need to raise you so we wont becking in money! Feng Yi Xuan replied indulgently. He wasnt sure how many assets or money he has but after he sent Nian Nian the betrothal gifts, he gave orders to his subordinates to earn more money. He wanted to give Nian Nian the best life so money couldnt becking.
AMu will need some time to return. Do you want to sleep? Feng Yi Xuan asked. Though they sat in the carriage, they were in a hurry on the road. Feng Yi Xuan can see the tiredness on Lan You Nians face.
Alright! Lan You Nian didnt need to put up a front in front of Feng Yi Xuan. She can remove all of her wrappings and face Feng Yi Xuan with a fragile attitude. What she got in return was the best care and love.
After coaxing Lan You Nian to sleep, Feng Yi Xuan had An Yi bring in some memorials to look over. Though he wasnt in the capital in person, there was still many matters in the capital and Ghost Realm that required his attention. Feng Yi Xuan looked over those booklets. When he was tired, he would turn his head to look at the sleeping Lan You Nian and feel in a better mood, as if the most dull reviewing of memorials became much more interesting.
Master! An Yi softly said outside, AMu has returned. Hes waiting in the gardens!
Feng Yi Xuan hned and put down the booklet in his hand and went over to the bed. Though he was reluctant to wake Nian Nian, Feng Yi xuan knew Nian Nian was quite worried. Though he was jealous, he supported Nian Nian, so he can only force his hand to wake up Nian Nian.
Nian Nian, wake up! Feng Yi Xuan gently said. Lan You Nian only flipped around and continued to sleep. Feng Yi Xuan chuckled, smiling dotingly and leaned down to kiss the red lips he was obsessed with.
The warm andfortable feeling made Lan You Nian smile. The warm breath lingered on her nose. The pleasant and familiar breath gave people an inexplicable feeling of safety. The burning temperature passed through the lips, as they gently and tyrannically tangled in her mouth. Refusing to be submissive, she answered in reply. Tightly shut eyes turned and suddenly felt something was wrong. Thick eyshes shuddered. Opening her eyes, she stared into a pair of deep violet eyes that seemed to suck her into those tenderness without return.
Awake? Feng Yi Xuans voice was filled with suppressed lust. He discreetly manipted his energy to force down his desires. He didnt expect Nian Nian to answer him while she was still deeply asleep, almost made him unable to hold himself back.
Lan You Nian nodded in a daze. Her eyes that were clear as moonlight seeming to sparkle in the luxurious night. That gaze was innocent and pitiful, a hundred percent cute attributes which made Feng Yi Xuans body tense.
AMu is already back. Want to go see? Feng Yi Xuan hurriedly said to divert his attention; otherwise he will really eat Nian Nian. though the two havent entered thest step, what should be done was already done by them. But the more they touched, the less satisfied Feng Yi Xuan became. He really really wanted to truly eat Nian Nian. He usually wouldnt touch Nian Nians body afraid he wont be able to control his lust.
Hearing this, Lan You Nians eyes cleared up as she sat up and let Feng Yi Xuan help put on her clothes. This has be the twos habit.
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian came to the garden, they saw AMu waiting there anxiously with beads of sweat on his head. Lan You Nian had to admit, Hua Xiu Yis shadow guard was really loyal.
Prince Ming, Lan junzhu! AMu hurriedly bowed.
Feng Yi Xuan held Lan You Nian as he sat down, Speak! This was Feng Yi Xuan in front of outsiders. Because Lan You Nian was by his side, the cold air around him wasnt as severe. If Lan You Nian wasnt by his side, he would be surrounded by an air permeating with coldness.
The Crown Prince has been imprisoned in the pce by the Emperor but we are unable to find where the Crown Prince is imprisoned no matter how we search! AMu said anxiously. Even with all the spies from Crown Prince Manor in the pce, they werent able to find out where the Crown Prince has been imprisoned.
This prince knows! Feng Yi Xuan nodded and said to An Yi, An San hase too right? Have An Sane over to see me!
Hm? Lan You Nian looked at Feng Yi Xuan in confusion, not understanding why Feng Yi Xuan had An Sane over for. From the look of things, it seems Feng Yi Xuan already had his own n when he decided to bring An San to Hua empire.
Give me a kiss and I will tell you! Feng Yi Xuans smile was elegant and gentle, and peerless yet contained a hint of wickedness that stirred ones heart and soul.
Lan You Nians red lips slightly curved. Those brilliant pupils lit up the arched brows like willow by theke on the third month, carrying the bright and beautiful spring light. Lan You Nian wasnt shy as she offered up her red lips but only kissed Feng Yi Xuans cheek, making Feng Yi Xuan happy and disappointed.
Talk! Lan You Nian grinned. She wont fall for his tricks and kiss him. Every time they kissed, the one who lost out was her.
Feng Yi Xuan helplessly kissed Lan You Nians red lips. If the mountain didnte to him then he will go to the mountain.
Hua empires emperor is a lover of beauty. There are over thousands of women in the imperial harem. If a beautiful woman caught his eye, he will take her into the pce by all means! He didnt even let go of the previous emperors consorts! Feng Yi Xuan yed with Lan You Nians long hair, hair soft as silk made Feng Yi Xuan unwilling to put them down.
Lan You Nian widened her eyes, as a cunning smile took over her lips, Does Xuan n to let An San use the beauty scheme? Lan You Nian really thought the two of them were a perfect match. Last time she had Jing Wu An use the beautiful man scheme and now Feng Yi Xuan wanted An San to use the beauty scheme. Though this method was vicious, it was the best and quickest way.
En! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. Though Hua empires emperor is a lover of beauty, he has great ability so we can only use the beauty scheme! In Feng YI Xuans eyes, it wasnt important what strategy they used. What was important if that they achieve their goal. In the past Feng Yi Xuan used all means to achieve his motive but now he had Nian Nian, his methods have be better.
Master! Mistress! An San bowed in greeting. Though she was used to not having any manners in front of the matriarch, and was like friends with the matriarch, An San didnt dare to act so with the master present. Otherwise An San was certain her death will be horrible.
Youre here? Lan You Nian looked over An San. Usually An San always wore a ck stealth uniform and her hair was put up in a mans style nor was there any makeup on her face or any essories to decorate herself with. Because of practicing martial arts and killing, An Sans skin wasnt very good but Lan You Nian noticed after carefully inspecting her that An San was a beauty, belonging to the seductive type. If they were to polish her up, she would definitely be able to bewitch someones heart.
Yes! An San felt goosebumps rise on her skin from the matriarchs inspection of her, not there was anything wrong with her gaze but the matriarchs focus made masters killing intent start to invade her.
Go dress up and have An Yi make arrangements. You are going to seduce Hua empires emperor and find out where Hua empires crown prince is detained! Feng Yi Xuan covered up Lan You Nians eyes as he gave the orders.
Yes! An San epted the orders. In their life, everything their master said was to be followed and obeyed, even seduction. As for whether or not they need to do the deed, it will depend on each ones abilities.
Lan You Nian pulled on Feng Yi Xuans hair, Let me dress up An San. I promise Hua empires emperor will fall over his feet for her! Lan You Nian wasnt bragging. The modern makeup was veyr much like surgery. Though Lan You Nian didnt like to put on make up, it didnt mean she didnt know how to.
Feng Yi Xuan pursed his lips in disapproval but before Feng Yi Xuan could think of a reason to refuse her, Lan You Nian pouted, If you dont agree, change An San into me. I dont need makeup and I can seduce...mph...
Before Lan You Nian could finish her words, her red lips were blocked by Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan took a bite of Lan You Nians lips in anger, making Lan You Nian exim in pain. After taking a bite, Feng Yi Xuan tenderly licked it and said with a cold face, Next time dont utter nonsense!
I was just saying it! Lan You Nian didnt mention it again when she saw Feng Yi Xuans freezing expression and nced at An San whose head was so low it was against the ground, Are you going to let me dress up An San?
Eh! How could Feng Yi Xuan let Nian Nian suffer any grievances as he helplessly uttered, Alright! Do whatever you want!
Lan You Nian was overjoyed as she had An Yi, a man, go out to buy some powdered blushes and perfumes. An Yi had an inner struggle because he was a man yet he was ordered to go buy womens things but seeing as it was the matriarchs orders, An Yi didnt didnt refute it and obediently went.
Lan You Nian grabbed all the makeup and led An San into the room and found an outfit she never wore before and very seriously put makeup on An San...
Outside, Feng Yi Xuan looked over some memorials as he waited. An Yi and An Si as well as AMu stood there waiting. Then they all saw apletely different An San.
They saw An San wear a light pink floral outfit that wrapped around her body with a white gauze jacket draping over it, exposing the beautiful neck and visible vicle. The pleats of the skirt was like snow and moonlight as it gently fluttered to the ground, dragging on the floor, making her gait graceful and delicate. Three thousands strands of hair was tied up, with a butterfly hairpin inserted and a strand of ck hair drooped over her chest. There was a lightyer of makeup, only adding some color. The faint pinkness on her cheeks gave off the feeling of skin being lovely and delicate as a flower petal. She gave off an air of a butterfly flying with the wind and the spirited and transparent snow...but An Yi smiled so coquettishly, so the two qualitiesbined at once, making it difficult to tear ones eyes away.
When An San stepped out, Feng Yi Xuan only swept over her without expression and gently pulled Nian Nian into his arms. As for An San being dressed up so prettily, for Feng Yi Xuan, the odds of getting information became greater.
Wow! An San, you actually turned into this. Its too scary! An Si shouted in horror. Usually An San was a tomboy. In the eyes of the shadow guards, she was a man but seeing An San dressed up, An Si felt his heart move.
Scary? Where am I scary? Tell me! An San pulled up her sleeves, about to knock An Si on his head.
An San, you are now a gentlewoman. Calm! Lan You Nian said helplessly. The moment An San opened her mouth she exposed her real nature.
An Yi and the others burst into theughter. Dressed so beautiful yet her wordscked any beauty. An San shot An Si a re and remembered the gesture the matriarch taught her and curtsied, her voice seductive as she said, This humble girl gives greetings!
Perfect! Lan You Nian pped...
Chapter 252 - 27 Become Our Consort
27 Be Our Consort
Outside a dense forest, an entourage of well-equipped guards and pce maids in pce uniform came. At the very front, striding stop a tall broad horse was a middle-aged man dressed in bright yellow brocade robes. This man was Hua empires Emperor Hua Mu Tian.
Hua empires emperor had a square face with thick eyebrows that were slightly raised. Bright eyes like ck gemstones burned their gaze into the dense forest, shing with a hint of interest. A tall straight nose that was already starting to bead with sweat on the bridge of it. Lips tightly pursed surrounded by a dark stubble that appears as if it has been shaved off not long ago. His face showed a hint of tiredness, the cause due to being too lustful but overall he appeared full of energy and gave off the air of danger and overbearingness.
Feng Yi Xuan carried Lan You Nian as he stood on the tallest tree in the forest. The thick tree leaves blocked the twos figures from sight but the two were able to assess the situation below. Lan You Nian dully leaned against Feng Yi Xuans chest to watch as the Emperor rode astride his steed, shooting arrows. She yawned, This Hua empires Emperor really gives people a feeling of difort.
Right below the very tree they were in, Hua Mu Qing was embracing a pce maid dressed in a pink pce uniform as he hunted on horseback, some sleazy soundsing from his mouth and his hands were cruising all over the pce maids body without any scruples.
Cant kill him at the moment! Feng Yi Xuan took a nce at the disgusting scene below before returning his gaze to Nian Nian. If it wasnt because they owed it to Hua Xiu Yi, he wouldnt bring Nian Nian to see such a disgusting sight. Feng Yi Xuan really felt there must be some strife between him and Hua Xiu Yi. In the past, the two of them were princes of empires that many people praised and feared. Afterwards, on the battlefield the two were evenly matched opponents. Later, because of Nian Nian, he owed Hua Xiu Yi two favors. Though favors were nothing to him, Hua Xiu Yis actions have greatly pleased Feng Yi Xuan. Because Hua Xiu Yi didnt think about possessing or coveting Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan was in the good mood to help him.
It wouldnt be us who should kill him. What a waste of time and means! Lan You Nian said flippantly. Though she disliked this Hua empires Emperor, perhaps it was just eye-affinity, though from first sight she didnt like Hua Xiu Yi, neither did she find him loathsome, but this Hua Mu Tian gave her a loathsome and disgusting feeling. The one who should handle this was Hua Xiu Yi. She wont let Feng Yi Xuan do such thankless deeds.
Your Majesty, dont... The pce maid dodged fearfully. The guards and such were already loitering around the outer circle of the forest. His Majesty often had matters to handle and they needed to withdraw. The pce maid in Hua Mu Tians arms was trembling all over. She has always lived cautiously in the imperial pce and did her duties. She didnt expect the Emperor to take a fancy to her and bring her to attend the hunt. She had a childhood fiance in her hometown. She was nning to wait until she reached the age limit and leave the pce to marry him. But it seems her innocence was no longer safe.
Hua Mu Tian threw the pce maid off the horse. He jumped off the horse and stepped on the pce maids chest with his foot. He bent over and squeezed the pce maids neck demanding, Dont want? Which one of Hua Mu Tians consorts didnt obey him and fawn over him? Even if they said no on their lips, their body was still seducing him. But this pce maid had the guts to resist him. This made Hua Mu Tian who was at the height of his lust angry.
Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to let this humble ve go! the pce maid bore the pain in her throat as she begged for mercy but her pleadings only made Hua Mu Tian angrier. Hua Mu Tian shouted, summoning those guards and then threw the pce maid at them, This slut, this one gifts her to you!
Hua Mu Tian then mounted his horse and entered the thickness of the forest and scolded those guards who wanted to follow. He wanted to vent the anger caused by that lowly pce maid. Hes sat upon the throne for many years and hasnt met a woman that dared to challenge him. This woman made him think of that disobedient son.
The pce maid was surrounded by those guards who were going to rip open her clothes. The pce maid looked with despair at them and smashed her head against the rock walls of the forest, immediately dying. Without blinking an eye, those guards returned to their post to patrol. The corpse on the ground slowly turned cold.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian watched the tragic scene below without any opinions. They werent good people, so naturally, they wouldnt ruin their own ns for a stranger. This girl made Lan You Nian feel shamed. In Lan You Nians eyes, since this pce maidmitted suicide without even fighting back or running away, then she deserved to die. Dont call her cold-blooded but she, Lan You Nian, has always been cold-blooded.
An San should be ready. We originally nned to lure this Emperor over but now he went himself. It saves us the trouble! Lan You Nian smiled. They nned to lure Hua Mu Tian into the dense forest and didnt expect such an event to happen.
Want to go see? They didnt have toe today but Nian Nian was bored and wanted to see the drama. Feng Yi Xuan was happy to apany her so the two came to the forest.
Of course. I taught An San so many tricks. If she doesnt do well, you dont have to give her her sry! Lan You Nian pouted. To make An San get rid of her tomboyish habits, she taught An San several times before making her appear somewhat normal.
Alright, whatever you say! Feng Yi Xuan wasnt even conscious that he sold off his own subordinate.
Hua Mu Tian rode his horse and saw a white rabbit. Taking up the bow, Hua Mu Tian prepared to shoot at the white rabbit, but at this moment, the horse under him suddenly went mad for some unknown reason and threw Hua Mu Tian off. Coincidentally Hua Mu Tian crashed into a hard rock, nearly fainting over.
Hua Mu Tian looked at his legs that were motionless from the fall and prepared to take out the signal he carried to let the guardse over but at this moment a woman dressed in pink and carrying a medicine basket on her back appeared from within the forest. Theres no need to suspect for this woman was An San.
After much discussion, they thought of this way of making her appearance. The gorgeous clothes Lan You Nian had prepared for An San werent of any use but fortunately makeup was still needed.
An San wore a pink outfit that was slightly faded from washing and had two braids that Lan You Nian deliberately styled for her which made her appear lively and cute, paired with An Sans hot body and inadvertent seduction, she was even more alluring. Even Hua Mu Tian who was used to seeing beauty was dazed.
Young master? Whats wrong? An Sans voice was lowered and pinched her own voice, making it sound sweet but it made Lan You Nian shudder on the branch. Hiding in the shadows, An Yi and San Si also had goosebumps. They felt such an An San was even scarier.
Hua Mu Tian felt his feelings stir as he looked at the woman, his eyes were practically stuck to An San. As an Emperor, hes seen a lot of beauties but those beauties were offered up by his ministers and were all dressed up beautifully. None of them were dressed purely and still such an alluring air. In an instant, Hua Mu Tian put the signal back. Though he was a lover of beauty, he was aware of the dangers to his life. On the outside was his guards, so there wasnt any danger. If this woman wanted to kill him, she would already make her move.
This one...uh..this young master was hunting and fell off the horse by ident! Hua Mu Tians face turned pleasant when facing beauty. He didnt even consider his own age yet he still called himself a young master, an uncle was more like it.
Why were you so careless? An San hastily came over to Hua Mu Tians side and her eyes turned red from seeing the blood on Hua Mu Tians leg, My family picks medicine. I know some medical knowledge. If young master trust this girl, this humble girl will take a look for young master?
Hua Mu Tian has seen plenty of false concern by his consorts and ministers yet this woman he has never met was so kind and caring towards him, Hua Mu Tian felt something different inside. This feeling of being cared for was wonderful. He was no longer the emperor who needed to be suspicious of everything.
Of course. Ill have to bother the youngdy! Hua Mu Tian said. Its been a long time since hes been so polite with anyone but asionally it was something different.
An San blushed and looked over Hua Mu Tians injury but in actuality, she was vomiting blood inside. She wasnt really blushing. She pinched her thigh and her face turned red from the pain.
Young masters injury isnt serious and is just a flesh wound. Fortunately, this girl picked some herbs that can stop the bleeding! Young master, bear it a little and let this girl apply the medicine! An San put the herbalpress onto Hua Mu Tians injury. Seeing Hua Mu Tian pained look, An San very virtuouslyforted him which made Hua Mu Tians thoughts even more prominent. He must have this woman enter the pce. This woman was like a clean spring.
Thanks youngdy. This young masters leg seems much better! Hua Mu Tian felt his favor of this woman rise as he looked at the leg that already stopped bleeding, I havent asked for the youngdys name yet? What is youngdy called?
An Sans cheeks became pale and then with embarrassment said, This girls family is poor. My father and mother have long passed and didnt give this girl a name. Because I am ranked third in the family, those in the neighborhood call this girl Saner.
Seeing the beauty upset, Hua Mu Tians lustful heart ached even more. Such a poor yet kind girl, Hua Mu Tian felt the pcecked such a woman. She wasnt like those consorts in the pce who only knew to fight for imperial favor.
Miss Saner dont be upset... Hua Mu Tianforted.
Itste, there are many wild beasts in the forest. This girl will help young master leave! An San cant stand Hua Mu Tians gaze. If it wasnt for masters n, she would have thrown a fist and wouldnt waste her breath.
alright, many thanks for the youngdy! An San helped Hua Mu Tian up. She was clearly able to do it easily but still pretended as if it was strenuous for her as her forehead beaded with sweat. Her kind nature made Hua Mu Tians eyes light up.
When An San was about to burst with fury, they finally walked out of the forest. As soon as they came out, they saw several troops of guards. An San fearfully trembled. Those guards and ministers seeing His Majesty appeared hurt hastily came over to inquire and pushed An San to the ground.
Bastard! Leave! Hua Mu Tian shouted in fury. He usually didnt feel these people were bothersome but now realized they were truly annoying. Hua Mu Tian came over to An San and helped her up, Miss Saner, are you alright?
He didnt expect the woman who showed such great concern for him along the way now dodged him. Hua Mu Tian asked in confusion, Miss Saner, whats wrong? If it wasnt because he was truly interested in the woman, just based on the womans move, he would have killed her.
Youre the Emperor? An San asked faintly.
Hua Mu Tian remembered those peoples address of him and knew his identity was exposed. However, usually if people knew he was the Emperor, they would fawn over him but this girl evaded him. This woman was truly different and wasnt greedy for power. Hua Mu Tians voice softened, Yes, This one is Hua empires Emperor!
Greetings to the Emperor! An San kowtowed and said hastily, This girl will retreat! And prepared to leave. Her expression like a frightened rabbit made Hua Mu Tian unwilling to part and hugged An San, Saner, this one likes you, be this ones consort?
Ah? An San seemed to be frightened, No, no, I...this girls identity is lowly, how can I tarnish the dragons face? Saying this, she prepared to leave but didnt have as much strength as Hua Mu Tian.
Saner, you are truly kind. This one says youre his consort, then youre his consort! Then he hugged An San onto the carriage and left the forest.
This Hua Mu Tian isnt stupid, Though Hua Mu Tian was injured, he was able to walk. From this Lan You Nian knew Hua Mu Tian was merely pretending. If An San was an assassin, Hua Mu Tian would give a fight.
To sit on the throne, how can he be careless? Feng Yi Xuan said flippantly and carried Lan You Nian as they left the forest.
Chapter 253 - 28 Is Imperial Son still as Good as in the Past
28 Is Imperial Son still as Good as in the Past
The entirety of Hua empires imperial pce knew the Emperor Hua Mu Tian brought back a vige girl from his hunt who was deep in imperial favor, even the favored consorts in the pce cannotpare. Who in the pce didnt know of Consort Lian who the Emperor cupped in his hands?
An San sat in the pce courtyard that Hua Mu Tian had conferred onto her. In thest few days she pretended to be unworthy of Hua Mu Tian and fearing authority making Hua Mu Tian heart ache and like her even more. Because of this, Hua Mu Tian hasnt touched her. An San still remembered the matriarchs words. If Hua Mu Tian really wants to ravish her, she can resist and even kill Hua Mu Tian. After heairng this, An San was very touched. In the matriarchs heart, they were very important.
How is it? Hua Mu Tian sat on the dragon throne asking the guards. Though he felt Saner was very different and liked her very well, as an Emperor, how can he not have a guarded heart, so he sent out his subordinates to investigate Saners background?
Answering Your Majesty! Its all true, Consort Lian is a medicine girl in the viger. Because of a poor family, she often goes into the forest to pick herbs. That day was the day she was going to pick medicine! The guard knelt on the floor as he gave the report.
Hn, this one knows, you can withdraw! Hua Mu Tian sighed in relief. Though he treated Saner very well, there was still suspicion and alertness in his heart. Now he can bepletely reassured. He prepared to hold a ceremony for the conferment of title, so he can have Saner. Saner wont reject him any longer.
Consort Lian, his Majesty is here! A pce maid came into the pce. This Consort Lian really had a good life. Shes only a wild woman from the mountains yet could obtain His Majestys favor. These days His Majestyes over to Consort Lians pce every day, making the consorts in the other pces extremely jealous.
An San rolled her eyes inside. This Hua Mu Tian would always run over to her ce. Fortunately she wore the front of a pure girl so Hua Mu Tian didnt make any moves on her but An San knew she couldnt drag it on any longer. She must find out where Crown Prince Hua has been imprisoned.
This civilian girl greets His Majesty! An San greeted him ceremoniously and felt aggrieved in her heart. As shadow guards, besides showing ceremony with the master and matriarch, they didnt need to show great ceremony with others and now she had to act as well as be on ceremony with this uncle. An San felt shed rather kill a few more people than ept such a mission.
Hua Mu Tian hastily helped An San up, scolding her, Why are you still calling yourself a civilian girl? Didnt this one tell you youre his consort? Once the conferment ceremony is done, you are this pces Consort Lian!
This civilian girl is only an orphan vige girl. How am I worthy of Your Majestys identity as Heavens son? I ask Your Majesty not to make fun of this girl! An San said mncholily and her eyes turned red, like a lonely white bunny, deliberately getting mens pity. This was the reason why Hua Mu Tian gave her the title of Consort Lian. Dont speak of such things! Hua Mu Tian scolded. Then the two admired the flowers like every day but it wasnt long that Hua Mu Tian fell asleep deeply. An San softly called Hua Mu Tian a few times and didnt see Hua Mu Tian waking up.
An San smirked. The drug the matriarch gave her was really great. It was a short while and this Emperor was already unconscious and wouldnt feel anything different when he woke up. It was a medicine they as shadow guards needed to have when doing missions.
An San saw it was dark out and changed into a ck stealth uniform to move around the pce. In thest few days of investigating, shes already found a ce with many guards standing guard but this ce was an ordinary pce hall. Why would it need so many people standing guard? Tonight she will go take a look.
An San came to the pce hall and saw there were still many guards standing guard as well as shadow guards hidden within the shadows. If it wasnt for her excellent martial arts, she wouldnt notice there were so many shadow guards. An San knew she wouldnt be able to get in by herself. At this moment, An San saw a eunuch carrying a food boxe out from the pce.
When the eunuch walked out of the pce, An San suddenly covered up the eunuchs mouth and dragged him behind a remote fake mountain and the dagger in her hand pointed at the eunuchs neck. An Sans voice was low as she demanded, I ask and you answer truthfully otherwise Id let you go see Lord Yama, do you understand?
The eunuch trembled in fear and nodded. His eyes were filled with tears. He didnt expect to encounter an assassin in the pce and for himself to fall into the assassins hands.
The pce you entered, who are you bringing the food to? An San demanded maliciously and the dagger dug a little deeper into the eunuchs neck as the blood slowly dripped out.
No... The eunuch was about to deny it but An Sans dagger stabbed him ruthlessly and muted the eunuch with a press of his acupuncture point. After a moment, she unsilenced him, I told you to answer truthfully!
I confess I confess! I am bringing food for the Crown Prince. I am bringing food for the Crown Prince. All I say is the truth! the eunuch stuttered incoherently but An San can tell he was speaking the truth. An San sliced the eunuchs neck, killing him and flew back to her pce to change out of her outfit and sent out the news.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan who was carrying gazing at the stars with Lan You Nian epted the news An Yi handed over and spared it a look, We have found the ce where Hua Xiu Yi is imprisoned. Tomorrow An San will verify it once again. The night after well enter the pce!
Lan You Nian nodded. No matter what they must save Hua Xiu Yi but time didnt wait for people. Lan You Nian knew Yue empire has be agitated by Yue empires delegates being killed on the road. Even the borders have started to stir with activity. They must handle Hua empires matters as fast as they could.
Inform AMu! Feng Yi Xuan said. They were saving his master. Naturally they needed Hua Xiu Yis subordinates to take thed. Though he came to save Hua Xiu Yi, that didnt mean he didnt take his subordinates life seriously.
On the second night, Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian and several others snuck into the pce. It was all thanks to AMu. AMu was Hua Xiu Yis shadow guard. There was still some of Hua Xiu Yis forces in the pce so Feng Yi Xuan them were easily able to sneak into the pce.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian quietly entered Lian Pce and saw An San waiting for them. An San greeted them when she saw her master and matriarch, Master, matriarch, Crown Prince Hua is imprisoned in the prison under that pce hall. Crown Prince Hua is chained so we need the key. That key is on Hua Mu Tian. Tonight Hua Mu Tian should be visiting the prison to see Crown Prince Hua. Do master and matriarch want to wait for Hua Mu Tian toe out?
No, lets go now! Feng Yi Xuan said. Since the key is on Hua Mu Tian, theyll just take it from him. If they waited, how much more effort would they have to waste?
Lan You Nian nodded in confirmation. Hua Mu Tian had Hua Xiu Yis life on his hands. The longer they waited the more dangerous it would be for Hua Xiu Yi. Tonight was the best opportunity.
Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian and the others came over to the residence and naturally saw all the guards. Feng Yi Xuans finger moved and the others rushed over to entangle with the guards. When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian was about to enter the underground prison, from the shadows suddenly jumped out many shadow guards. These shadow guards had very good martial arts.
Feng Yi Xuan nced at Nian Nian, Nian Nian? Feng Yi Xuans meaning was clear. He will hold up these shadow guards and Lan You Nian can go to save Hua Xiu Yi because Feng Yi Xuan knew there werent any people below. This was the best chance to save Hua Xiu Yi. These shadow guards had very good martial arts. Even for Feng YI Xuan, it will take time for him to deal with them.
Be careful. Dont get hurt! Lan You Nian whispered softly and walked down the prison without looking back. Hearing Lan You Nians words of concern, Feng Yi Xuans mood brightened, even the shadow guards who wanted to kill them were more pleasing in his eyes but that didnt mean he will show any mercy.
Lan You Nian found the entrance to the prison and gradually descended the stairs. It was no surprise she noticed several guards standing at the entrance. Lan You Nian gripped her dagger and handled the guards without a sound and walked farther in, because she can hear Hua Mu Tians voice. That meant Hua Xiu Yi was there too.
Speak! Where is the jade seal? Hua Mu Tian gripped the whip as he continuously whipped Hua Xiu Yis pure white skin. From the ruthlessness of his actions, one cant tell they were father and son, but rather enemies.
Haha... Hua Xiu Yiughed joyously as if he cant feel the pain. He didnt even look at his imperial father, Cant find it? You arent able to pass any imperial decrees? You are so useless!
Pa! The whip once againnded on Hua Xiu Yi. Hua Mu Tian squeezed Hua Xiu Yis chin, saying lewdly, Does imperial son still resent imperial father? Indeed, imperial father still remembers imperial sons taste, even better than those consorts in Imperial fathers harem. I wonder if the grown-up imperial son is still as tasty?
Scram! Hua Xiu Yi spat, staring in disgust and hatred at his imperial father. This man who was his imperial father on the surface coveted his beauty when he was very young. He not only was this mans child, he was also a male but when he was seven years of age, his drunken imperial father....
Hua Xiu Yi will never forget the pain and humiliation and fear of that night. He didnt have a consort mother or anyone to lean on. He was ruined by his imperial father. Afterward, he didnt dare voice it but the seed of hatred was already buried in his heart, so he kept masking himself in order to one day kill this filthy man...
Slowly he grew up and the power in his hands grew but every night that nightmare still tormented him. He felt too dirty so his Crown Prince manor had a lot of women. Every time he felt dirty and wanted tomit suicide, he will have rtions with those women to conceal his own filth. But it only made him feel dirtier. Until he met that woman. He finally felt his soul quiet down as it has been cleansed, so he fell in love with Lan You Nian. But he knew he wasnt worthy of Lan You Nian. When he thought that woman was already safe and sound, he felt everything was worth it.
Lan You Nian was stunned as she heard Hua Mu Tians words. She never expected this Hua Mu Tian would be so perverted to this extent! At this moment Lan You Nian was sympathetic to Hua Xiu Yi. For a child to be treated like that by his father, it was such a cruel thing. He was a person deserving of pity.
Just as Hua Mu Tian was about to stroke Hua Xiu Yis body that was more alluring than a womans, Lan You Nian appeared behind him and knocked him out. Then she looked at Hua Xiu Yi who was tied there and was stunned.
That peerlessly handsome face, the graceful and noble air, alluring and matchless style, a temptation of licentious debauchery, plus with the blood flowing from his body, mystery and beauty were intertwined. As long as they were people, they would not be able to escape this extreme temptation. But Lan You Nian could see from those eyes a deadness and despair, like her past self.
Hua Xiu Yi? Lan You Nian called him and noticed the light in Hua Xiu Yis eyes returned. Lan You Nian found the keys fro Hua Mu Tians body and unlocked Hua Xiu Yis chains. Hua Xiu Yi fell over. Lan You Nian had to support Hua Xiu Yi as they prepared to leave.
You heard everything.. Hua Xiu Yi said bitterly. The person he most didnt want to know was her. He was touched that Lan You Nian came to save him but despaired that his filthy self was known by Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nians footsteps stopped and looked at the weak and disheveled Hua Xiu Yi, no contempt or pity, only concern for a friend in her eyes. Looking into those eyes, Hua Xiu Yis heart calmed.
Hua Xiu Yi, we will always experience some painful things in our life but so what? We are still alive arent we? Lan You Nian seemed to speak to Hua Xiu Yi as well as for herself.
Hua Xiu Yiughed suddenly, his bewitching face made the entire prison brighten. He nodded in agreement, Thanks! We are friends now?
En... Lan You Nian considered it and her eyes curved, We are now friends, otherwise do you think wee here to save you out of boredom?
Hua Xiu Yi wanted to say something but was suddenly yanked by another person. Hua Xiu Yi saw the ck-faced Feng Yi Xuan supporting his body, appearingpletely reluctant. Hua Xiu Yi understood this man was jealous.
Feng Yi Xuan naturally didnt want to support this man. He was a clean freak but when he saw Nian Nian support Hua Xiu Yi, he felt extremely displeased. Yet he knew Hua Xiu Yis body wasnt very good at the moment so he suppressed the desire to kill and helped hold him up and held Nian Nians hand with the other.
What a surprise that this crown princes enemy came to save him! Hua Xiu Yi sighed with feeling. He once considered Feng Yi Xuan his opponent but now the two were like friends, though they were friends they still didnt like the other.
If it wasnt because you once saved Nian Nian, this prince wouldnte save you! Feng Yi Xuan pushed Hua Xiu Yi to AMu who just arrived and looked in disdain at the hand that touched Hua Xiu Yi.
This crown prince doesnt care for you to save me... Hua Xiu Yi refuted.
Seeing as the guards have been pretty much dealt with, they departed from the imperial pce...
Chapter 254 - 29 Treat Her Well
29 Treat Her Well
Feng Yi Xuan had An Yi send Hua Xiu Yi back to his Crown Prince Manor to nurse his wounds. At first, Feng Yi Xuan nned to y a few days in Hua Empire with Nian Nian before hastening back to Feng Empire, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt expect a loathsome person appearing in their courtyard on the second day.
Yo! Prince Ming, Nianer, morning! Hua Xiu Yi stood under a tree in the courtyard. A head of long ck hair wasnt tied back as it scattered against his back, smooth as it draped like fine silk satin. Under the delicate, seemingly feminine leaf eyebrows was a pair of ck soul-stirring and captivating ck eyes, the corner of his eyes were slightly raised, giving him a sultry feel. Vermillion lips slightly pursed, seemingly smiling. Skin as white as snow, seeming to emit a silvery white light. When he saw Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian who had just risen out of bed, his eyes shed with an interested smile.
Feng Yi Xuan was in a good mood but the moment he saw Hua Xiu Yi, Feng Yi Xuans face turned ck. Looking at Hua Xiu Yi who clearly hasnt recovered from his injuries yet still came out so indecently dressed to seduce people, Feng Yi Xuan felt his hands itch, having the urge to beat up someone, especially wanting to beat up and disfigure Hua Xiu Yis face.
Is Crown Prince Hua too lightly injured? Did youe so early to seek your death? Feng Yi Xuan showed a cold smile on his face. Though he was no longer on opposing sides with Hua Xiu Yi nor were they enemies and Hua Xiu Yi doesnt covet Nian Nian any longer, it didnt mean Feng Yi Xuan would be in a good mood when seeing his love rival so early in the morning.
The injuries arent light at all! But I still came to see my savior! Hua Xiu Yi said frowning, appearing more delicate than a woman. Its a pity that none in the courtyard had any sympathetic heart. Hua Xiu Yi was very self-aware as he sat down at the table in the courtyard, as if he was the master who came to take the morning meal.
Youve seen and can go now! Feng Yi Xuan gave orders for the guest to leave but knew it would be strange if Hua Xiu Yi actually left. Actually, Feng Yi Xuan felt some sympathy for Hua Xiu Yi. He investigated into Hua Xiu Yis humiliating childhood. In the past, Feng Yi Xuan knew of this past and thought if he was opposing Hua Xiu Yi, he could use this information but now, though the two cant be considered confidantes, they could be considered friends. Thus, Feng Yi Xuan forgot about those matters hes investigated and found out, and didnt feel any sympathy but still disliked him.
Hua Xiu Yi picked up his chopsticks to eat,pletely ignoring Feng Yi Xuans words. Others might fear Feng Yi Xuans cold air but he didnt. He knew it would be difficult to see her again. Since he can see Nianer now, hell interact with her more. That way there will be many memories in his life.
Lan You Nian nibbled on the food Feng Yi Xuan offered to her, carelessly asking, Hua Mu Tian has been imprisoned by you? Lan You Nian received news this morning that Hua Empires Emperor Hua Mu Tian suddenly fell ill and couldnt rise out of bed. The matters of court were temporarily managed by the Crown Prince. Lan You Nian naturally knew this news was most likely sent out deliberately by Hua Xiu Yi.
Hua Xiu Yis hand shook slightly as he ate and without a care as he said, En, the old thing has sat on the throne for very long and is tired. Isnt it good I let him rest? Even though hes achieved his revenge, the scar in his heart still hurt.
Have you thought how youre going to handle it? Lan You Nian swallowed the food in her mouth, asking curiously. She liked tormenting others. She really disliked that Hua Mu Tian, without any reason for her dislike.
Youre going to ascend the throne? Feng Yi Xuan asked. If Hua Xiu Yi became the Emperor, it was actually a good thing. Yue Empire cast its eyes covetously at Feng Empire and Xue empire was an unknown factor. If Hua Xiu Yi ascended Hua empires throne, though it cant be said to form an alliance with Feng empire, in the very least thered be no friction between them.
How to handle it? Hua Xiu Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks, muttering with vexation. In the past, hes thought millions of times of killing Hua Mu Tian but now Hua Mu Tian has ended up in his hand, Hua Xiu Yi felt killing him was more than he deserved. How can his nightmares of many years be canceled out like this?
I dont know. Might slowly torture him. That would be more interesting wouldnt it? Hua Xiu Yi took a sip of the tea An San brought over and shot a look at Feng Yi Xuan, Whats so good about the throne? This crown prince rather likes my seat as Crown Prince, why would I want to be the Emperor?
Feng Yi Xuan declined toment. He knew Hua Xiu Yi was a smart person. Perhaps in others eyes, the throne was a very good thing but a smart person knows that seat meant loneliness and suspicion. There would be no person you could trust. You wouldnt have any familial rtionships or friends nor would you have love, hence why Emperors all refer to themselves as lone one. Imperial brother was an exception. Not everyone can sit on that spot and still have friends.
En! Feng Yi Xuan uttered a sound in confirmation, counting as agreeing with Hua Xiu Yis method.
Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian lingered in Hua empire for three days. In these three days, Hua Xiu Yi woulde to the courtyard on time every day. At the start, Feng Yi Xuan would get angry but in the end, hepletely ignored Hua Xiu Yi. In any case, Nian Nian didnt spare a thought to Hua Xiu Yi. Feng Yi Xuan didnt need to fear anything, so the three of them passed a few peaceful days.
Youll be departing tomorrow? Hua Xiu Yi sat on the rooftop of the courtyard. Not far from him sat Feng Yi Xuan. Lan You Nian was already asleep in the room, leaving the two men to be blown with cold wind.
Hua Xiu Yi opened two pots of sake and passed one to Feng Yi Xuan. Feng Yi Xuan didnt refuse it and took it. Look good old friends, the two sat on the rooftop drinking sake. If others didnt know, they would think the two were the best of friends.
Hn! Feng Yi Xuan poured back a mouthful of sake. He was grateful towards Hua Xiu Yi because he saved Nian Nian twice. Just like towards the master and Gui Yi them, FEng Yi Xuan felt gratitude towards them. Under circumstances that didnt affect his and Nian Nians interests, Feng Yi Xuan was willing to help.
Feng Yi Xuan, do you know? I was once jealous of you. At the the same time I envy you! Hua Xiu Yi chuckled as he looked at Feng Yi Xuan sitting a distance from him, We both have umonly good looks, status, and identity. I always considered you my opponent but when I met Nianer, I knew I have lost!
Feng Yi Xuan nced at Hua Xiu Yi with aplicated look. He wasnt oblivious to Hua Xiu Yis feelings for Nian Nian but all people were selfish beings. He was the same. In his life, the one thing he can never let go of was Nian Nian. If he didnt take into consideration of Hua Xiu Yis saving hand, Feng Yi Xuan will get rid of Hua Xiu Yi.
Power or status, none of it matters, its not as reassuring as having that womans smile! Hua Xiu Yi threw back the spirits and gulped until he started coughing and suddenly burst intoughter, hisughter was bold, But you dont need to panic. I know she only has you in her heart so I wont have any illusions. If there is a next life, I will wait for her cleanly and steal her back!
Feng Yi Xuans air froze over, In the next life, Nian Nian is still mine! So stop fantasizing. Every lifetime, he will find Nian Nian and continue walking to the end!
Hey, you are so tyrannic. One day Nianer will be bored of it! Hua Xiu Yi said jealously and nodded in confirmation. Looking carefully at Feng Yi Xuan, he continued, What is so good about you? Such a big icicle, doesnt Nianer find your coldness unpleasant? Dont look like you know how to be romantic...
Though Feng Yi Xuan was a little tipsy, he was much better inparison to Hua Xiu Yi. As Hua Xiu Yimented on each of his shorings, Feng Yi Xuans face turned cker. Then, Feng Yi Xuan stood, refusing to speak any longer with this drunk maniac. Hed rather hug the soft and fragrant Nian Nian.
Feng Yi Xuan! Hua Xiu Yi dropped the pot of sake, Treat her well! Shes worth it!
Feng Yi Xuan spared Hua Xiu Yi a rare look and nodded, Theres no need for you to say so. I will naturally treat Nian Nian well. She is my life!
Thats good! Hua Xiu Yiid on the rooftop, continuing to mutter, Thats good! Thats good... Even if the one apanying her isnt me, even if the one treating her well isnt me, its fine as long as shes happy!
After Feng Yi Xuan took a bath and climbed into bed, Lan You Nian very naturally snuggled into Feng Yi Xuans arms and mumbled sleepily, You drank? She thought the two were discussing some serious matters. It turns out they went to drink alcohol.
En, the smell too strong? Feng Yi Xuan took a sniff at himself. When he was bathing, he deliberately washed off the smell of alcohol. He didnt expect Nian Nian still noticed it. Feng Yi Xuan decided that hell drink less wine. If Nian Nian doesnt like it, he wont drink any.
Lan You Nian took a careful sniff and shook her head. The smell of wine mixing with the unique scent of Feng Yi Xuans body mesmerized Nian Nians heart even more. She muttered softly, No, Xuan smells good!
Nian Nian, thank you for loving me! Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian tightly. He knew how lucky and blessed he was to have obtained Nian Nians love when he looked at Hua Xiu Yi. Otherwise, he would be even more deste than Hua Xiu Yi.
Lan You Nian giggled. How can one say thanks for love? But Lan You Nian understood the excitement in Feng Yi Xuans heart, and asked, Xuan, if I didnt fall in love with you, what would you do? Will you let me go and let me find my happiness?
No! Without even considering it, Feng Yi Xuan refuted, Even if you dont love me, I will bind you to my side and not let you leave! Feng Yi Xuan admitted he was very domineering. In his life, he met many people and objects but Nian Nian was the only one he loved, so even if Nian Nian didnt love him, even if there were losses on both sides, he wont let go!
Haha, why wouldnt I fall in love with you? My Xuan is the best! Lan You Nian giggled. Such a good man was difficult to meet in a thousand years.
Feng Yi Xuan wanted to say more but realized the girl in his arms already fell asleep but the smile on her lips was beautiful. Feng Yi Xuan kissed the corner of Lan You Nians lips and shut his eyes, a night of dreams...
On this night, on the rooftop, Hua Xiu Yi didnt care for his still yet to recover injuries and blew a night of cold wind but his heart was peaceful. If he couldnt possess it, it was still good to bless and protect it...
Chapter 255 - 30 You’re Not Allowed to Go!
30 Youre Not Allowed to Go!
When Feng Yi Xuan and Lan You Nian returned to the capital, before the two could catch their breath, Feng Yi Xuan was received into the imperial pce by Eunuch Lu, saying the Emperor has summoned him. Lan You Nian knew something must have happened without thinking about. Otherwise Feng Yi Xuan who was usually mildly tempered wont be so anxious.
Feng Yi Xuan reminded Lan You Nian of a few matters and flew towards the imperial pce. Actually, on the way to the capital, Feng Yi Xuan already received some news, but Feng Yi Xuan didnt say anything in fear of disrupting Nian Nians good mood and let her worry. Unaware to Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian actually knew a little but Wu Qing Pavilions intelligence wasnt as good as Ghost Realms, so Lan You Nian didnt know much.
Imperial brother! Feng Yi Xuan walked into the imperial study and saw Jing Wu An, Lan Mo Xian, and He Chu Yang were all present, appearing in though. It looks like this matter was very troublesome, otherwise they wouldnt be like this.
En, youre here! Feng Xia Qis face was a little tired but when he saw Feng Yi Xuan, he was overjoyed but this wasnt the time for the two brothers to reminiscence. Feng Xia Qi asked, AXuan, do you know of what happened in Xiang Lin City?
Feng Yi Xuan nodded, sitting down, I received the news that a gue broke out in Xiang Lin City but the specifics arent very clear! Ghost Realm, though paid attention to matters of court, the forces in the pugilistic world couldnt be so obvious. As the Emperor, Feng Xia Qi had plenty of forces of his own. Feng Yi Xuan was certain Feng Xia Qi knew more than him, though no one in court reported this matter and no one in the capital knew a gue broke out in Xiang Lin City.
The news I received said that a gue already broke out in Xiang Lin City. Xiang Lin City has already been sealed off by the local officials and no news are able toe out. If I didnt receive this news as fast as I did, by the time we learn of it, Xiang Lin City would be a dead city! Feng Xia Qi uttered in rage. In fear of the higher ups ming them, the local officials didnt report it and dyed the best time for treatment.
They listened to Feng Xia Qi recount this with shock. Jing Wu An stroked his jaw and said with difficulty, If it were some other city, we can directly seal it off, then whether it is ughtering the city or burning the city, itll be fine, but Xiang Lin City cant. We must save Xiang Lin city! One cant me Jing Wu An for being cold-blooded. In their eyes, the best method was to stop the gue from spreading. As for killing innocent people, those present were all people of high standing and didnt have much of a sympathetic heart.
Xiang Lin City wasnt an ordinary city. For Feng empire, Xiang Lin city was a very important city, not because of how wealthy Xiang Lin city was but rather, in Xiang Lin city, it was practically all farmers. It was an endless field. Half of the food of Feng Empire came from Xiang Lin city. If something happens to Xiang Lin city, adding onto a war at this time, one can imagine how the soldiers who are without food can resist against an invasion of enemies. This was why Feng Xia Qi and them were worried. Hence Xiang Lin city must be saved.
I already sent a lot of imperial physicians and imperial troops, AXuan... Feng Xia Qi suddenly didnt know what to do. He stepped onto this throne to protect this younger brother, his sister-inw and his friends but now something so dangerous has happened, he realized he needed his younger brother to head to the front lines where the gue spread. Feng Xia Qi knew it was very dangerous but Feng Xia Qi knew he didnt have any confidence in handing this matter to others. He couldnt do it himself because it wasnt stable in the court.
Feng Yi Xuan pped Feng Xia Qis ck and said with determined eyes, I understand! Though he was cold-hearted and ruthless, he will shoulder his responsibilities. As long as his responsibility and Nian Nian are not in conflict, Feng Yi Xuan will step up to shoulder his responsibilities like how hes been on the battlefield for many years.
Feng Xia Qi nodded in gratitude. The tacit understanding between the two brothers for many years make them understand each other without saying anything. Feng Xia Qi knew his younger brother, though his whole heart was on Lan You Nian, as a war god prince, he similiarly had his pride and sense of duty.
Mo Xuan and Chu Yang will be going with! Feng Xia Qi said. He had his own reason for doing this. Going to Xiang Lin city will require good physical strength. Jing Wu Ans martial arts wasnt extremely powerful so wasnt suited to going but Lan Mo Xuan them came out from the military camps and have good physical fitness and has more resistance to the gue and wouldnt be too tired from the long distance traveling.
Lan Mo Xuan, you go arrange the troops. We depart tomorrow! Feng Yi Xuan ordered. Then, to Feng Xia Qi he nodded and left the imperial study. Feng Yi Xuan knew time was life, so he must go to Xiang Lin city as fast as possible. If it was before, Feng Yi Xuan would immediately depart but because of Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan needed to exin some things to Nian Nian. Thinking that he wont be seeing Nian Nian for a few days, there was serious resentment in Feng Yi Xuans heart.
When Feng Yi Xuan hurried back to Lan Manors You Nian Pavilion, he saw Nian Nian arranging all the curious gifts or snacks they bought from Hua empire and had Lan Wu and Lan Qu send it to the manors they were in rtively good rtionships with. Feng Yi Xuan stood there quietly watching, feeling warm inside. His Nian Nian was a ruthless anc cruel woman but towards people by her side, she was considerate and warm. As long as she approved of you, then you would be able to feel her kindness. Perhaps this was ck to the extreme was white!
When Lan You Nian divided the things up and had Lan Wu and Lan Qu send them off, she looked back and saw Feng Yi Xuan leaning against the door. Feng Yi Xuans dazzling eyes like the starry sky lingered with tenderness. He slowly moved his body and walked towards Lan You Nian. White clothes fluttered, the ck silk flowed, the handsome and unruly face lifted up with a dazzling smile like the sunrise on the sixth month.
Tired? Feng Yi Xuan hugged Lan You Nian, smelling the soft fragrance on Lan You Nians body to smooth over his upset emotions. Sitting down, Feng Yi Xuan didnt know how to open the topic, not out of fear Nian Nian wont understand but out of reluctance.
Still good! Lan You Nian smiled and asked, Has something happened? She wasnt oblivious to Feng Yi Xuans reluctance and terrible mood but she still asked.
Feng Yi Xuan shifted Lan You Nian to face him and frowned, A gue broke out in Xiang Lin city. Xiang Lin city is a farming city. Tomorrow I must go to check on the gue! Feng Yi Xuan said, rubbing his nose against Lan You Nians nose, his tone carried the pouting of a child, I cant be with Nian Nian. I wont be able to see Nian Nian for some time. I cant sleep with Nian Nian, nor help dress Nian Nian...
Listening to Feng Yi Xuan ramble on, Lan You Nian realized Feng Yi Xuan really has her taken care of. Even Lan Qu them wasnt so meticulous in taking care of her. As Lan You Nian listened to Feng Yi Xuan say this, she felt reluctant to part.
How about I go with you to Xiang Lin city? Lan You Nians eyes brightened. Since Feng Yi Xuan was reluctant to part with her, she was reluctant to part with Feng Yi Xuan, she will follow with to Xiang Lin city. She believed with her identity, it would be easy to mix in with the team.
But taking Lan You Nian by surprise was that Feng Yi Xuan suddenly became stone-faced, No! Then feeling as if his tone came out too strong, Feng Yi Xuan softened his voice exining, It is too dangerous there. Youre not allowed to go!
Did Feng Yi Xuan not hope Nian Nian to go with him? No, he hoped! But Feng Yi Xuan cared even more about Nian Nians safety. Nian Nian just came out from the gates of hell. What he must do was to protect Nian Nian, care for this precious treasure. How could he be willing to let her suffer?
Lan You Nian pouted and pulled on Feng Yi Xuans hair, pouting, Xuan, let me go please? I will miss you in the capital. I am Gui Yi Zis direct disciple. I can definitely protect myself!
Seeing Nian Nian pouting, Feng Yi Xuan felt his heart soften and nearly agreed to it but fortunately his heart was staunch as he came out of his daze. Feng Yi Xuan teased lovingly, Are you certain your medical skills are good?
Lan You Nian stuck out her tongue, embarrassed. Amongst masters six disciples, besides Gui Yi, the others medical skills wasnt really ttering. It would be fine dealing with general medical skills, but if they really discussed it, their medical skills wasnt enough to look at.
No matter how poor my medical skills are, its better than many people. I promise I will protect myself! Lan You Nian raised her hand to make a vow, making Feng Yi Xuans heart itch and covered up those chattering lips.
Mph... Lan You Nian pounded on Feng Yi Xuans chest, ring with watery eyes at Feng Yi Xuan, unaware that this only made Feng Yi Xuan even more unable to hold himself back. In the end, the two grinded up to the middle of the night.
Though he didnt really eat Nian Nian, for Feng Yi Xuan who relieved his desires, Feng Yi Xuan was in a much better mood. Later in the night, Feng Yi Xuan didnt sleep. After helping Nian Nian clean her body, Feng Yi Xuan watched Nian Nian the whole night.
No matter how reluctant Feng Yi Xuan was, the morning quietly came. Lan You Nian instantly woke up afraid Feng Yi Xuan will leave without any farewells. When Lan You Nian saw the man sleeping with her was watching her, Lan You Nian rubbed Feng Yi Xuans chest like a cat.
Youre about to go? Lan You Nian asked. Though she wanted to go with Feng Yi Xuan, she can better appreciate Feng Yi Xuans care and protection for herself. Other people might dislike it, but for Lan You Nian whocked security and love, Feng Yi Xuans abnormal possessiveness and protectiveness made Lan You Nian feel a sense of security.
En! Feng Yi Xuan nodded. Like usual, he apanied Lan You Nian to dress andb her hair and ate with her. Nothing seemed different. Its only a little earlier. At this time, normally, Lan You Nian would still be asleep.
After the two ate, Feng Yi Xuan pulled on Lan You Nians hand and took her to the outside of the capital. There, many guards and imperial physicians have gathered there, in total several thousand people. At the very front, on horseback sat Lan Mo Xuan and He Chu Yang.
Remember to eat. Dont always eat so little... The days are getting colder, wear more clothes. I put the cloak on the left side of the closet for you...if youre bored, go to the pce or find Wu An to y. Dont be naughty and run around...if you like something, buy it, youre not allowed to suffer any grievances... In front of several thousand people, Feng Yi Xuan chattered a lot like an old mother hen. Many of the guards gaped with open mouths. Was this still Prince Ming who frightened people just by hearing his name? Hes practically so warm like a warm gentleman!
Feng Yi Xuan said a lot. Lan You Nian quietly listened, so obedient that it made people think the two was a father and daughter. This scene was too loving, making the guards emit pink hearts.
Do you remember it all? Feng Yi Xuan stroked Lan You Nians hair, reluctance clear in his eyes.
Lan You Nian nodded. She knew she shouldnt let Feng YI Xuan worry. This man had his own battlefield. That ce was where he will emit his brightness.
I will obediently wait for you toe back. You must be well okay? Lan You Nian murmured gently. Such gentleness from Lan You Nian made Feng Yi Xuan feel like he was a husband who was traveling far from home and Nian Nian was his wife who was instructing him.
En! Feng Yi Xuan nodded and in front of public eye, he kissed Lan You Nians forehead and mounted Zui Feng. With a wave of his arm, the entire procession advanced forward. He feared if he continued to look, he wont leave for Xiang Lin at all. What gue, what wouldnt bother with it. So Feng Yi Xuan can only suppress his reluctance and leave the capital!
Lan You Nian stood on the hillside outside the capital watching as the procession walked farther and farther until she wasnt able to see it before finally withdrawing her gaze and said to An San standing beside her, Lets go! The person just left but Lan You Nian already felt herself starting to miss him.
Chapter 256 - 31 Xiang Lin City
31 Xiang Lin City
On the second day of Feng Yi Xuans travels, a man in white intercepted their path...
Its you! Feng Yi Xuan looked at Gui Yi dressed in white robes, carrying his luggage, with surprise as he asked, Did Nian Nian let youe? Feng Yi Xuan knew of Gui Yis skill in medicine. If Gui Yi could go with to Xiang Lin city, they will naturally multiply the results with half the effort. But Feng Yi Xuan didnt mention it because Feng Yi Xuan knew Gui Yi and the others were Nian Nians family. He didnt hope any of them to meet any idents. It would only make Nian Nian upset.
Gui Yi stood there, giving people an air of a celestial but when Gui Yi looked at Feng Yi Xuan, there was warmth in his eyes. This man was already acknowledged by all of them. He was little junior sisters future husband.
No, I came myself to help you. This break out of the gue is strange. Its likely it is man-caused. Though my medical skills cantpare to master, it is better than those imperial physicians! Gui Yi said. When he learned of this matter, he immediately followed after them. He learned medical skills with the intention to relieve the suffering of others, though he didnt have a bleeding heart.
Feng Yi Xuan nodded and urged his steed forward. From the very start Feng Yi Xuan suspected this gue was man-made. In Feng empires history, there has never been a situation with a gue happening. This urrence with the gue was simply too coincidental, not only breaking out in Xiang Lin city but also while Yue empire was eyeing them with hostility. It was like someone deliberately did this. By going to Xiang Lin city, he not only wanted to suppress the outbreak of the epidemic to rescue Xianglin city from its clutches, he also wanted to investigate into how this epidemic happened. With Gui Yis help, he will have a much easier time.
The team led by Feng Yi Xuan finally arrived at Xianlin city after four days of fast marching. Because of the urgency of the matter, Feng Yi Xuans marching speed was very fast. Fortunately, many of the guards were soldiers who have folowed him to the battlefield, so they could bear the burdens. But those imperial physicians following them were in a miserable situation. A prestigious imperial physician was about to fall apart after several days of being tossed about, but none of the imperial physicians dared toin about the toil. Who didnt know of Prince Mings reputation? They didnt want to lose their life.
Greetings to Prince Ming! Young Master Lan, Young Master He! Xianglin citys officials knelt in front of Feng Yi Xuans horse. They received news today that Prince Ming came to manage the gue. They originally nned to suppress the matter of the gue but as the gue grew more severe, they werepletely unable to suppress it anymore. When Feng empire knew of the outbreak in Xianglin city, Prince Ming already led his troops here. All the officials were trembling with fear. Though they were only some local officials and have never seen Prince Ming, they have heard plenty of rumors about Prince Ming.
Feng Yi Xuan stared coldly at the officials kneeling on the ground. His entire person emitted an elegant and noble air, but intermixed with this elegance was a hint of sinful charm and apathy. He was extremely displeased with these officials, not only because these officials turned a blind eye to the current events and didnt report it to the higher ups, also because of their actions he had to leave Nian Nian. So in Feng Yi Xuans eyes, he already imposed a death sentence on these officials.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt let these officials rise but looked at the once harmonious Xianglin city has bow be filled with wails and weeping at every corner. There were piles of dead bodies in the streets. The entire Xianglin city has be deste. There was no one to take care of the rice fields. It seemed as if the whole sky overhead was brimming with a gloomy atosmosphere.
Mo Xian, take people to father all the dead bodies and burn them! Feng Yi Xuan ordered, Chu Yang, take people to iste those who are not infected with the gue, as well as those who have been infected must be isted as well.
Yes! Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yang led their own teams and left. Each of them wore a cloth that Gui Yi soaked in medicinal herbs to fend off the gue. As they started to take over Xianglin city, they showed none of the gentleness like when they were gathering with the others but gave off the air of the iron blood of soldiers.
Gui Yi, take those imperial physicians to start treatment! Feng Yi Xuan said. Gui Yi wasnt his subordinate. If he took ount, he should be calling him eldest brother like Nian Nian. Regarding Gui Yis assistance this time, Feng Yi Xuan remembered it in his heart.
Gui Yi nodded and carried his medicine box into the crowd, leaving only Feng Yi Xuan, the guards as well as the officials kneeling on the ground at the starting point. Though Feng Yi Xuan wanted to behead all of these officials, he knew if killed off so many officials all at once, there will be many holes that need to be filled. At the moment, there werent so many officials to fill up their spots. Xianglin city was facing a time of turmoil. If something else was to happen, peoples hearts be unstable. For an empire, that wouldnt be good.
Feng Yi Xuans eyes were like des as he nced over those officials. Just one nce made those officials tremble with fear, not even daring to breathe.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt bothersome with those annoying officials and led the guards to start taking over control of Xianglin city. He must have Xianglin city recover so at this moment he needed to stabilize the hearts of people and to deal with those who are purposefully making trouble during the turmoil.
When the officials saw Prince Ming leave, they all heaved a sigh of relief. It was too scary! Prince Ming didnt need to say anything and already made them feel their life was standing over a cliff. Now they couldnt help feeling lucky to get their life back.
Official Wang, from the looks of it, Prince Ming probably wont hold us ountable! A middle aged man in officials clothing said to another official.
Prince Mings temper is unpredictable. I fear we.... Tonight, isnt there a dinner banquet weing Prince Ming. Official He, find a beautiful and seductive woman to serve! That Official Wang said to Official He. Hearing this, the other officials agreed with lecherous grins.
But his lowly official heard Prince Ming already has a fiancee and adores her, already vowing to have only her. If we do this, wouldnt it... Official He said uneasily. All those rumors said Prince Ming adored Miss Miao Yin and that Prince Ming wasnt fond of women.
Official Wang guffawed. The chubby belly seemed ready to break through his ministerial uniform, Ha, how could there be a man who doesnt have an affair? Much less for Prince Ming with his status! Prince Mings fiancee is General Lans beloved daughter. Perhaps this is Prince Mings means of winning over Lan manor. After tonight, once that beauty seduces him, do you think Prince Ming can sit still? When that beauty says some nice words, our crime of failing to report will be cast aside wouldnt it?
Thinking it over, they all felt Official Wang was right. All of the officials present followed Official Wangs lead, so they all went back to prepare for tonights banquet, striving to get the beauty they sent up to obtain Prince Mings favor.
At this moment, Prince Ming Feng Yi Xuan who had so many people try to please him was currently takingmand where the gue was concentrated. If they encountered those fearful civilians who wanted to disrupt the order, Feng Yi Xuan would deal with it immediately. Feng Yi Xuans face was frosty and grim as he unhurriedlymanded the soldiers. One wouldnt be able to see that Feng Yi Xuan too had his moments of gentleness.
I dont want to die! I dont want to die! A civilian, after being found to have been infected with the gue by Gui Yis group, was taken to another ce where all the people who were found to be infected with the gue. There were already some imperial physicians there doing intensive treatment. Though many people who were afraid but still cooperated but this person seemed to be afraid to die and refused to listen to the soldiers. Under the suppression of the soldiers, he actually escaped to harm the other civilians. In his eyes, since he cant live, then other people didnt need to live either.
Feng Yi Xuan stood in front of the guards and looked at the civilian who seemed to have gone mad and directly took the long sword and yed that civilian. The blood followed the length of the de, slowing dripping down, quieting those civilians who wanted to resist.
His Majesty sent this prince to save you. If you continue like this, there is no need to continue living! Feng Yi Xuans voice filled with icicles entered the ears of the civilians, calming them down and understood the court hasnt given up on them but if they didnt submit to the soldiers control, the court will abandon them.
Feng Yi Xuan did this to shock those civilians. Was it wrong that these civilians were afraid to die? They werent in the wrong but if because of their fear of death they disrupted the order, the entire Xianglin city will be even more difficult to control the gue, so Feng Yi Xuan did this to give them a warning.
After Feng Yi Xuans move, the entire camp quieted down a lot. Those people whove been inspected by Gui Yi were more stable. There were even some civilians who didnt need the soldiers to arrest them to get a check up and those who were found to be infected obediently listened to the solders arrangements. In an instant, things became speedier as they divided up the civilians of Xianglin city.
At nights arrival, after everyone has been busy an entire day, the entire Xianglin city quieted down. Soldiers patrolled back and forth in case something goes wrong with the patients. Feng Yi Xuan, Lan Mo Xian and the others were all arranged to rest at the government office of Xianglin city.
When Feng Yi Xuan and the others returned to the government office, those officials were already waiting there. The whole government office was brightly lit. Feng yi Xuans expression didnt change but those imperial physicians and others with them were delighted. They were exhausted after busying all day but because of Prince Mings presence, they didnt dare utter a word of protest. They were overjoyed to have a good ce to rest for the night.
Greetings to Prince Ming! The officials bowed. At the head, Official Wang said, Prince Ming and the other sirs have been busy all day. This humble official prepared some dishes for the sirs to enjoy!
Lan Mo Xian and He Chu Yangs lips curled into the same mocking smirk. Though theyve followed Prince Ming on the battlefield many years, theyve encountered plenty of these kind of situations. These officials received the courts sry without doing anything and now had the desire to fawn over Prince Ming. They really lived to the end of their days.
Feng Yi Xuan didnt say much and walked into the courtyard of the government office to eat. He hasnt eaten anything the entire day but Feng Yi Xuan still remembered Nian Nian telling him to take care of himself, so Feng Yi Xuan prepared to eat before resting, striving to return to the capital as soon as possible.
When everyone followed Feng Yi Xuan to therge hall, Feng Yi Xuans face remained unchanged but his eyes turned cold and Gui Yi who followed behind furrowed his brows, recalling the wretchedness of Xianglin citys civilians and then looking at the grandiose dishes and those fawning faces, Gui Yi felt the court was really disgusting.
Feng Yi Xuan took his seat without giving those officials an opportunity and started to eat. Lan Mo Xian and the others were the same, doing the same as Feng Yi Xuan. Though those imperial physicians had the heart to enjoy, seeing how Prince Ming was eating hastily, they didnt have the guts to cause a ruckus.
Prince Ming! This lowly officials knows Prince Ming has been busy all day and especially prepared song and dance to let the sirs drive away exhaustion! Official Wang said. From outside, a lot of exposed women walked in, twisting their alluring bodies.
Feng Yi Xuan seemed to not see it as he continued to eat. Those women started to dance. They were informed that a lot of big shots came to Xianglin city. They werent prostitutes of brothels but the concubines and daughters of the officials. As long as they could clutch onto one perosn, they can go to the capital to enjoy an luxurious life, so they danced even harder.
Feng Yi Xuan, from the start, didnt spare those women a nce. Amongst those women, one of the dancing women would frequently look at Feng Yi Xuan, sending flirtatious looks but didnt receive a nce from Feng Yi Xuan.
She was the prettiest amongst the women, called Qiu Ling. It can be said in the entirety of Xianglin city, there was not one person who didnt know of her name. She was Official Wangs daughter. Unfortunately she was a girl and didnt have her fathers love. But today Father had her dress prettily and told her of the nobleness of the arrivals.
Qiu Ling knew her chance hase. She knew the most noble amongst these arrivals was Prince Ming, a prince of an empire. They wouldnt normally have the chance to see such a character. Originally Qiu Ling believed Prince Ming was a coarse brute but today, this one nce made Qiu Ling know there was such a handsome man in the world. Prince Ming was tall and lean, handsome, the brows on the handsome face were like straight willows, the fair skin exuded a healthy glow. Qiu Ling felt if she could enter Prince Mings eyes, even if she didnt have any status, she was willing. Such a man, whether it was identity or looks, was one no woman would reject.
Feng Yi Xuan elegantly ended the meal. An Yi handed over a handkerchief. Feng Yi Xuan received it to wipe his mouth and hands. At this moment, some women wanted toe forward to seduce Prince Ming but were dealt with by An Yi with a dagger. Those charming women instantly lost their breath. This made those other women scream in horror even Qiu Ling trembled in fear, stopping her feet that were about to walk towards Prince Ming.
Who made the arrangements for this banquet? Feng Yi Xuan asked, walking over to the entrance.
Official Wang cowardly walked out and knelt, Its, its this lowly official! He didnt expect Prince Ming to kill people so openly without any indication. Too frightening!
An Yi, take care of him! Feng Yi Xuan left the hall to rest. He didnt have the time to handle these matters.
Have mercy! PRince.... Before Official Wang could finish, he was already dealt with by Lan Mo Xian. They were already displeased with these officials. Amongst the women, Qiu Ling looked at her fathers death without any heartache, even feeling the pleasure of revenge. But remembering she no longer had anyone to depend on, Qiu Ling nced at the departing Prince Ming, her eyes shing with admiration.
Lets go! Lan Mo Xian said to He Chu Yang said. They already finished eating so there was no need to stay any longer. There were still many matters to handle tomorrow.
En. In moments, there was no one remaining in the hall...
Chapter 257 - 32 Infected with the Plague, Danger
32 Infected with the gue, Danger
In Prince Ming manors study, Lan You Nian sat on the wide ck wood chair, seriously reviewing the stacks of booklets on the desk. These booklets should have been reviewed by Feng Yi Xuan. Inside were matters concerning Ghost Realm as well as the businesses in Feng Yi Xuans hands. These booklets should have been sent over to Xianglin city to have Feng Yi Xuan decide on it, but Lan You Nian noticed these when she came to Prince Ming manor and because she didnt want Feng Yi Xuan to overwork himself, Lan You Nian intercepted these.
When Lan You Nian suggested taking over these matters, no one in Prince Ming manor objected. They sent these booklets to her with tion. Now even Prince Ming manors expenditures were taken care of by Lan You Nian.
After Lan You Nian took care of a portion of the booklets, she twisted her neck. She admired and felt sorry for Feng Yi Xuan. Though she managed Wu Qing Pavilions matters, whether it was her senior brothers or Lan Ren or LAn Feng, they all tried to help share her burdens, so Lan You Nian didnt require so much effort to handle them. But these days, just helping Feng Yi Xuan handle Ghost Realm and Prince Ming manors matters, she felt extremely tired, much less for Feng Yi Xuan who had to take care of matters of court and military camps. Lan You Nian felt Feng Yi Xuan was very hardworking.
Princess Consort! An San knocked on the door and entered the study, a tray of elegant pastries in her hands, Princess Consort has reviewed these booklets for an entire afternoon. You should eat some pastries and rest a while!
An San and the others were extremely happy with the Princess Consort helping the Prince with his affairs. They didnt want Princess Consort to tire herself but felt since Princess Consort took over Prince Ming manors affairs, Prince Ming manor will be filled with life. There was a great difference between Prince Ming manor of the past to the present. There was a warm air in Prince Ming Manor. This warmth was brought by the Princess Consort.
En, alright! Lan You Nian put down the booklet in her hand, walked out to the outer chamber and looked at the tes of delicate pastries on the table, feeling her mood lighten. As soon as the steward knew of her arrival in Prince Ming manor, he will order the kitchen to make a lot of delicious foods, making it so Lan You Nian really liked toe to Prince Ming manor.
Princess Consort, this is the Princes letter! An San gave Lan You Nian a thick letter.
From the day Feng Yi Xuan left the capital, there was a letter everyday without stop. Its been some time since the day of Feng Yi Xuans departure. Its already entering winter but Feng Yi Xuan has yet to return. Xianglin citys gue hasnt been controlled.
Lan You Nian would write back to Feng Yi Xuan every day. Though her letters of response were only a few short sentences, unable topare to Feng Yi Xuans several pages every day, Lan You Nian returned every letter seriously.
Lan You Nian opened the letter. Upon a nce, it was still Feng Yi Xuans elegant calligraphy style. It was written with what Feng Yi Xuan was doing and wrote his longing and at the very end, it was a long ramble of reminders for her. Most of the time, Lan You Nian felt Feng Yi Xuan would be a good father. But when that day finally came, Lan You Nian realized she really overthought.
Princess Consort! Just as Lan You Nian was looking at the letter, An Er suddenly barged in. Usually An Er wouldnt do such a thing, especially as An Er fell to his knees, worry on his brows.
The shadow guards under Feng Yi Xuan, usually faced death without a change in their expression, and even usually were steadfast and wore icy expressions on a normal day, but there was something off about An Er and An Sis, who followed in, expressions. For them to be like this, there can only be one reason: that was Feng Yi Xuan. Lan You Nian stood up, an undetectable worry and fear on her face.
What has happened? Even though Lan You Nians was cold, the narrowed eyes and the distant air about her made others know she wasnt as strong as she was on the surface.
Princess Consort, his Highness has been infected with the gue at Xianglin city! An Er said through gritted teeth. The moment they learned of this matter, they knew they should conceal this matter from the princess consort. His Highness would certainly be thinking this but the gue wasnt something else, it was the gue! Even An Er them panicked and the prince then fell ill, they realized the princess consort was simrly a mainstay in their heart, so at the first second they informed the princess consort.
Lan You Nians weakened body staggered. Just as An San prepared to support her, Lan You Nian stood tall. Her face was a little pale but didnt show any emotion of fear.
Who else knows? Lan You Nian asked. At this time, she couldnt panic nor could she fall because her Xuan already fell. If she fell too, who will protect their home?
Seeing the princess consort quickly bing steady, An Er and the others felt their anxious emotions settle down. With the princess consort standing there, they seemed to see the seemingly invincible Prince standing there, as if no matter what difficulties will not make them lower their heads.
An Er immediately said, Besides An Yi and Young Master Gui Yi, no one else knows!
When Feng Yi Xuan knew he was infected with the gue, he not only had An Yi them keep quiet, he didnt let Gui Yi them tell Lan You Nian. Feng Yi Xuan knew better than anyone else if Nian Nian knew of his illness, she would be extremely worried and afraid, even if Nian Nian doesnt show it.
Immediately have An Yi and older brother seal the news. I dont want to hear any news about Xuan being infected with the gue! Lan You Nian sat behind the study table, emitting the dignity of a superior. Lan You Nian in this moment didnt give off the pitiful feeling but made people fear and submit.
Lan You Nian knew if the news that Feng Yi Xuan caught the gue went out, not only will Feng Yi Xuans enemies attempt to rob them during this turmoil, even Yue empire that was eyeing them jealously will take this opportunity to attack Feng empire. Feng Yi Xuan not only represented a prince but the guardian that detered other empires.
Yes! An Er nodded.
An San, you and An Si have to watch over Ghost Realm and Prince manor for a while! Lan You Nian instructed before preparing to leave.
At this moment An San asked, Princess Consort? You want?... An San and the others can tell Lan You Nians intention but they were worried. They were aware of what Xianglin city was like from their intelligence information reports. Even the prince caught the gue. If the princess consort went and something happened, theres no need for the prince to punish them, they wouldnt have the face to continue living.
Lan You Nian nodded. Though she didnt want to speak and wanted to directly fly to Feng Yi Xuans side, she knew these people genuinely cared for her, Lan You Nian suppressed her agitated heart and said, Dont worry, I will bring the shadow guards with me. Besides, I am immune to hundreds of poisons!
Lan You Nian readied to leave Prince Ming manor. Upon returning to You Nian Pavilion, she casually gave some instructions and then took Lan Feng with her, leaving the capital, and rushed on horseback to Xianglin city. Though Lan You Nians body wasnt well and was very weak, because she had powerful martial arts paired with Lan You Nians anxious feelings, the twos riding speed was very fast.
Though Lan Ren and the others hoped to follow young miss, they knew they were needed to manage Wu Qing Pavilion. They just had to have youngdys back...
After several days of nonstop riding day and night, Lan You Nian and Lan Feng finally arrived at the entrance of Xianglin city. On the walls of Xianglin city and at the entrance stood many soldiers. When they saw Lan You Nian and Lan Feng riding, many of them blocked them.
Xianglin city is sealed due to the gue. No one is allowed to enter! Where are you from. Leave quicky! the soldier scolded Lan You Nian and Lan Feng. Due to the fear that Xianglin citys gue will spread to other cities, Feng Yi Xuan had the city gates closed upon entering Xianglin city.
Lan You Nian sat high on the horse in a white dress. Afraid that her looks will bring trouble outside, Lan You Nian wore a veil, only exposing her beautiful eyes. Lan Feng was dressed in ck following behind Lan You Nian, her face cold and expressionless.
Lan You Nians eyes emitted killing intent, not for anything else other than because Feng Yi Xuan caught the gue was already known by people in Xianglin city. Though it hasnt spread to the capital, thinking that Feng Yi Xuan was a patient in Xianglin city, Lan You Nian felt heartache. Every day she would still receive Feng Yi Xuans letter. Lan You Nian knew even if Feng Yi Xuan was ill, he didnt want her to worry so Lan You Nian would return a letter without letting Feng Yi Xuan worry. If Feng Yi Xuan knew she wasing to Xianglin city, Lan You Nian can imagine Feng Yi Xuans worry.
Move! Lan Feng urged her horse forward. She knew how anxious and agitated her young miss was. Young miss wasnt in a good mood. If these people continued to chatter and not let them enter, Lan Feng cant promise young miss wont kill them. Many people believed Prince Ming to kill without batting an eysh but in actuality young miss wasnt any better than Prince Ming.
Lan Fengs forcefulness made the soldiers angry. These soldiers only obeyed themands from above. They only acted in the good of the twodies. No one wanted to enter Xianglin city. It wasnt certain if they cane out alive but these twodies didnt know whats good for them. The soldiers wanted to scare the twodies with their weapons...
Whats happened? An Yi has been standing guard outside the government office doors thest few days, afraid something would happen while his master was weak. Coincidentally Lan Mo Xian and the others were there also, so he came to patrol within Xianglin city. Seeing something seemed to be happening at the gates, he hurried over to take a look.
Sir An Yi, these twodies want to trespass into the city... the soldier prepared to continue but noticed Sir An Yi who they usually needed to fawn over looked stunned as he ran over to the veiled woman to greet her.
Princess consort... An Yis eyes were a little wet. Seeing master being infected with the gue and weakening, being unable to treat him, An Yi was anxious like a headless fly. Seeing the princess consort, An Yi felt there was hope for the prince because the prince wont let the princess consort be upset. The gue in Xianglin city was so severe yet the princess consort could still rush over, An Yi felt happy for the prince. The princess consort truly loved the prince.
An Yis call of princess consort scared the soldiers guarding the gates into falling to their knees. Not to say that Princess Consort Ming was extolled as Miss Miao Yin, as well as General Lans most beloved legitimate daughter, and the Princes Consort that Prince Ming also cupped in his hands, the soldiers felt their good days were over. They didnt expect that at this moment a legitimate daughter from a prestigious family in the capital was willing toe to Xianglin city overspread with the gue. At the same time the soldiers felt this future Princess Consort Ming was truly sincere and worthy.
Lan You Nian didnt dispose of the soldiers. Not to say those soldiers were all doing their duty, more importantly Lan You Nian knew these soldiers were soldiers under Lan Mo Xian. Lan You Nian wont doing anything that creates such a difficulty for herself.
Lan You Nian urged the horse into Xianglin city. Entering Xianglin city, she saw Xianglin citys sluggish atmosphere but Lan You Nianpletely ignored the current wretched atmosphere, only thinking about Feng Yi Xuans illness. An Yi led the way, while thinking the prince was saved!
Until they came to a wing in the government office, as soon as Lan You Nian entered, she heard sounds of conflict. Lan You Nian neared and saw a woman wearing a pink dress standing outside the room, holding a bowl of medicine, desiring to enter the room but was stopped by Gui Yi and He Chu Yang.
The two sirs, this girl is only worried about Prince Mings illness. There is no servant girl to use, this girl wants to serve Prince Ming, please ask the two sirs to grant my wish! Qiu Ling lowered her eyes, murmuring with upset. When she knew Prince Ming has caught the gue, she knew her chance hase. Prince Ming was at his weakest. If she didnt fear the gue and went to serve him, once Prince Ming got better, did she have to fear she wont be able to serve by Prince Mings side?
Move! Gui Yi said frowning, not understanding why this woman was so shameless. Prince Ming was little junior sisters betrothed. Little junior sister wasnt present, they cant let other women get close to Prince Ming. Gui Yi knew even if they didnt stop her, Prince Ming wont other women get close.
Nianer? He Chu Yang saw Lan You Nian enter, eximing in shock, feeling both joy and worry. Everyone knew what Xianglin city was like, fr a youngdy like cousin-sister toe, He Chu Yang felt his head ache.
Little junior sister! Gui Yi saw Lan You Nian without much surprise. He has known little junior sister for many years and more or less understood little junior sisters temperament. With Prince Mings life was in danger, how could little junior sister stay in the capital?
Lan You Nian nodded and walked over to the room. At this time, that loathsome voice sounded, Why can she enter?
If it was usual, Lan You Nian would be in the mood to y with this ignorant woman but Lan You Nian only had Feng Yi Xuan in her mind. Hence, Lan You Nian didnt bother with the womans words and walked into the room.
Because she is the princess consort. What are you? An Yi sneered coldly and gestured to have someone chase Qiu Ling out. This woman dared to covet his Highness. Really stupid! Theres no need for the princess consort to make a move. If the prince knew, the prince wont allow for it.
Chapter 258 - 33 Side by Side With You
33 Side by Side With You
Lan You Nian gently pushed open the door of the chamber and entered. Before she could step into the room, she heard Feng Yi Xuan and Lan Mo Xians voice.
Wheres Nian Nians letter? Feng Yi Xuans voice was still as cold as it always has been but Lan You Nian could hear the weakness in his voice. Instantly, Lan You Nians eyes turned red. On the way, Lan You Nian was expressionless but upon hearing Feng Yi Xuans voice, Lan You Nian suddenly wanted to cry, not for herself but for that man.
Though Feng Yi Xuan has caught the gue, it didnt stop him from handling official matters. More importantly, hes been waiting for Nian Nians return letter every day. Only then would Feng Yi Xuans gaze turn warm.
Todays letter hasnt arrived yet... Lan Mo Xian said feeling distressed inside. Who would have thought the high and mighty Prince Ming would catch the gue? More importantly, even at this time, all Prince Ming thought and worried about was his little sister Nianer. If Prince Ming didnt stop him, he would have informed his little sister of Prince Mings situation no matter what. Even if Prince Ming didnt say, they can all tell Prince Ming missed his little sister.
Lan You Nian rubbed her eyes. She feared she will burst into tears when she saw Feng Yi Xuan. She feared Feng Yi Xuans will feel heartache for her. She was especially worried. In the past, Feng Yi Xuan would notice the moment someone entered the room but shes been standing here for so long yet he hasnt noticed her, Lan You Nian felt he must be feeling weak. Actually, Lan You Nian has gotten it all wrong. Though Feng Yi Xuan was very weak at the moment, the vignce thats been embedded into his bones was still there. As for why he hasnt noticed Lan You Nian, it was because Lan You Nian was very familiar to Feng Yi Xuan, a familiarity thats embedded deep into his bones, so he hasnt noticed. If someone else was to enter his room, Feng Yi Xuan would have instantly noticed.
Is Nian Nian well in the capital? Keke.... Feng Yi Xuan asked, starting to cough before he could finish his inquiry. Even if he received Nian Nians letter everyday, he couldnt help his longing and worry.
Hearing Feng Yi Xuan cough, Lan You Nian couldnt bear it anymore and stepped into the room. Lan You Nians eyes instantlynded on Feng Yi Xuan who wasying on the bed. Feng Yi Xuan instantly noticed Lan You Nian. Feng Yi Xuans eyes were filled with joy and bliss.
At this moment, Feng Yi Xuanid there. His face that was usually more fair than normal mens disclosed a paleness of sickness. After not seeing each other for some time, Lan You Nian noticed Feng Yi Xuan has lost weight. The bags under his eyes were very obvious. Catching a whiff of the medicinal scent in the air, Lan You Nians heart ached and angry at the same time. Her voice filled with a tone of grievance she wasnt aware of, You are already like this, do you think I can be well?
Lan You Nian clearly told herself she couldnt cry but silent tears still crept out. She was stuck the moment she met Feng Yi Xuan. Her tears were all for this man!
Feng Yi Xuan didnt expect the girl he longed for night and day to appear before his eyes. Feng Yi Xuan was undoubtedly overjoyed but remembering hes infected with the gue and the dangerous Xianglin city, Feng Yi Xuan was about to say a word out of worry but when he saw Nian Nian ring with pitiful teary eyes, Feng Yi Xuan decided all his worries and inappropriateness was nothing as he hastily prepared to get out of bed to pull the girl into his arms.
Upon seeing Feng Yi Xuan about to get up, she hastily ran to the bed and pushed Feng Yi Xuan back down, her red eyes appeared pitiful and her voice carried a crying tone, Your bodys like this yet you cant behave! Saying this, she tucked Feng Yi Xuan in and sat by the bedside to look at the man whos lost weight.
Lan Mo Xian saw there was no other people in the twos eyes, and silently left the room. Little sister has alreadye to Xianglin city. Lan Mo Xian believed little sister will take good care of Prince Ming. They should take a good look at the business with the gue.
Feng Yi Xuan stared dazedly at Lan You Nian who was covered with dust from travel. Because the veil has been removed, Feng Yi Xuan also noticed Lan You Nian has lost some weight. The little meat that has grown on those cheeks after his meticulous care has has been lost. Feng Yi Xuan reached out a hand from within the nkets to stroke Lan You Nians face and released a deep sigh.
Ive caught the gue yet you sit so close to me, do you know you will also be infected? Feng Yi Xuan said with heartache. How could he not know Nian Nian did this all for him. He was overjoyed about Nian Nians care for him but at the same time his heart ached for Nian Niansbors. In Feng Yi Xuans heart, though he knew Nian Nian was a phoenix soaring in the sky, in his selfishness, he wished that sky was the one he created himself. Because the love was too deep, he would always worry.
Feng Yi Xuans words made Lan You Nian angry. Though she knew Feng Yi Xuan was simply too worried, she was still unhappy. If she didnt see Feng Yi Xuan looked weak, Lan You Nian would have already beat him up.
Lan You Nian didnt care for Feng Yi Xuans disapproving gaze and darted under the nkets to curl up in Feng Yi Xuans arms, mumbling, Xuan, if the one who caught the gue was me, will you be afraid? Will you leave?
I wont! Feng Yi Xuan answered. No matter what happens to Nian Nian, he wouldnt be afraid and will stay by Nian Nians side, apanying her in life and death!
Since you wont, then why do you think I will? Xuan, I dont wish to be the silk strands strung from a tree or reeds to jade nt. I only want to stand side by side with you, and not just hide under your wings. Lan You Nian said looking seriously into Feng Yi Xuans violet eyes.
Feng Yi Xuans deep purple eyes were like ck holes that made one wish to fall into looked with deep affection at the serious Lan You Nian, hoarse and maic voice filled with a heavy affection, I always knew Nian Nian was strong, only...my heart aches... Even knowing you are very strong, even knowing you arent like other women, because I love you so much, I cant help worry and feel heartache.
Alright, you can stay with me! Feng Yi Xuans maic voice was crisp, mellow as the flowing spring between rocks.
A smile bloomed on Lan You Nians face hearing Feng Yi Xuans words and rested with Feng Yi Xuan. Though Feng Yi Xuan has caught the gue, he didnt neglect any matters that should be handled so Feng Yi Xuan was very tired. Additionally, with his current situation, Feng Yi Xuan fell asleep within moments.
Lan You Nian, seeing Feng Yi Xuan sleeping peacefully, gently rose out of bed and walked out and saw Gui Yi waiting outside, still dressed in white robes and long hair tied up and flowing over his shoulder casually, giving Gui Yi a celestial air, but those tired eyes expressed how busy he was.
Eldest brother! Lan You Nian came over to Gui Yi, her voice filled with worry. Though Gui Yi often came out of the valley to performed medical examinations at Wu Qing Medical Hall, this incident was severe and was a difficult matter for even Gui Yi, Dont overwork yourself!
Though Lan You Nian was concerned about the gue, these civilians werent as important as her loved ones in her heart. Shes never possessed such generosity. They were only so concerned over the situation with the gue because they were citizens of Feng empire and Feng Xia Qi was Feng empires Emperor.
Gui Yi nodded and asked, For Prince Mings illness? How could Gui Yi not see the worry in his little junior sisters eys.
En! Lan You Nian nodded and nced at the gloomy sky, I wish to know how Xuans currently doing? Is there any way to treat the gue?
gue, such a horrifying thing but for some reason Lan You Nian felt Feng Yi Xuan will be fine. She can definitely make Feng Yi Xuan get better.
Little junior sister, youve given Prince Ming a medical bath right? Gui Yi said with certainty, Actually the gue Prince Ming has caught isnt that serious nor will he be like other people and lose his life. He just needs to take the utmost care of himself and with a few prescriptions, Prince Ming will be healthy again. Dont worry too much!
Lan You Nian sighed in relief. She already nned if Xuans illness was severe, shell have mastere over. Lan You Nian believed with masters medical skills he can definitely save Feng Yi Xuan. Now hearing Gui Yis guarantee, Lan You Nian was silently thankful she had Feng Yi Xuan take that medicinal bath.
Gui Yi wrote a prescription and had An Yi to grab the ingredients and had Lan You Nian personally brew it. It would be fine to hand this matter to a soldier but Lan You Nian wasnt reassured. This wasnt Prince Ming manor nor was it Lan manor. It was the dangerous Xianglin city. Lan You Nian couldnt allow a single dangere in contact with Feng Yi Xuan.
After Lan You Nian finished brewing the medicine and came into the room, she noticed Feng Yi Xuan was already awake and was currently leaning against the head of the bed looking at booklets. When he saw Lan You Nian, he revealed a smile. Though he was weak recently, after some rest, some of his energy has returned. Seeing Nian Nian by his side, he was in a much better mood.
Why didnt you sleep longer? Lan You Nian put down the bowl of medicine and came over to the bed, snatching the booklet from Feng Yi Xuans hands and scolded, Your bodys already like this. Why cant you behave?
Feng Yi Xuan didnt refute and only gazed grievously at Lan You Nian. The sick Feng Yi Xuan was like a child but this was only in front of Lan You Nian.
Lan You Nian held the medicine and slowly fed it to Feng Yi Xuan. Though Feng Yi Xuan couldnt bear Nian Nian tobor, seeing Nian Nian taking care of him, Feng Yi Xuan was greedy enough to enjoy this rare gentleness.
After feeding Feng Yi Xuan, Lan You Nian put down the bowl and stiffened her pretty face, Xuan, your abilities have grown! You dare keep such a matter from me, and conceal it from it! Hmph! Youmitted wrongs despite knowing it was wrong!
Feng Yi Xuan knew this girl will definitely make him pay. Now thinking back, Feng Yi Xuan really thought he was being a hypocrite. Even if he really was about to die, he wont allow Nian Nian to be alone in the world. Because Feng Yi Xuan knew for certain no one will love Nian Nian more than him. But at the moment he didnt think of so much, only thinking he should protect Nian Nian and not make Nian Nian upset, forgetting the two needed to share in weal and woe.
Nian Nian... Feng Yi Xuan wanted to pout but Lan You Nian still looked sinisterly at Feng Yi Xuan. Feng YI Xuan knew if he didnt make Nian Nian forgive him today, Nian Nian wont sleep with him tonight. Feng Yi Xuan could only purposefully cough cough fall into a fit of coughs. Though it was a deliberate element in it, his body was indeed unwell.
Lan You Nian clearly knew Feng Yi Xuan was merely pretending but still pitied him and came to fEng Yi Xuans side to lightly pat Feng Yi Xuans back. After Feng Yi Xuan was better, Lan You Nianid on Feng Yi Xuansp, Dont lie to me in the future!
Alright! Feng Yi Xuan used his fingers as ab as hebed through Nian Nians hair, his face gentle.
Youre not allowed to be alone. I want to stay by your side... Lan You Nian narrowed her eyes.
Alright... Everything you say is good, my Nian Nian...
Chapter 259 - 34 Fairy Sister
34 Fairy Sister
After several days of Lan You Nians meticulous care, Feng Yi Xuan was much improved. It can be said Feng Yi Xuan haspletely recovered from being infected with the gue, only due to getting sick, Feng Yi Xuans body was still a little weak.
Once his body was better, Feng Yi Xuan prepared to get back to work. Though they have governed Xianglin city very well, they havent been able to get rid of the gue. Everyday there will be someone who will get infected. Everyday there will be someone who dies. If this continues, Feng Yi Xuan knew this Xianglin city will really be a dead city.
What are you doing? Lan You Nian came into the room carrying a bowl of medicine and noticed Feng Yi Xuan was about to rise, demanding hastily.
Feng Yi Xuans saw Nian Nians eyes sh with heartache. Because of his health, Nian Nian would always stay by his side taking care of him. No matter how he urged her, she refused to give up. Thus, now he wasnt so thin but Nian Nian has be a lot thinner.
Feng Yi Xuan rose and took the bowl of medicine from Nian Nian, negotiating, Nian Nian, Im much better. Mo Xian them cant control the situation outside. Rest assured, I will take good care of myself!
Lan You Nian observed Feng Yi Xuan, Xian, you can go out to handle business but you arent allowed to overwork and you must permit me to go with eldest brother to investigate into this gue! Gui Yi was busy looking after those infected with the gue. Lan You Nian watched with worry, so she wished to help but Feng Yi Xuan was ill so Lan You Nian didnt give consideration to this thought but now she cant just watch any longer.
Feng Yi Xuan wanted to reject but recalled what Nian Nian once said, he asked with worry, Your body? This gue wasnt a oke. Though he has bore through it, the process wasnt great.
Xuan, rest assured, this gue wont infect me at all! Lan You Nian grinned. Her body has been tempered with various poisons and because of curing her poison, it can be said shes used all of the worlds best medicinal herbs. If she can still be infected by a gue, master would be extremely vexed.
Feng Yi Xuan was slightly reassured by Nian Nians words. He knew if he always controlled Nian Nian like this, though Nian Nian wont say it, she would be unhappy inside.
Feng Yi Xuan reached out a hand to stroke Lan You Nians long hair, dotingly saying, Alright! But youre not allowed to tire yourself! Though he was Feng empires prince, in his eyes, all of Feng empires citizens added together could notpare to a single hair of Nian Nians.
En! Lan You Nian guarenteed with a nod and happily neatenedFeng Yi Xuans clothes.
When Feng Yi Xuan walked out the government office and into those tents, those civilians who caught the gue seemed to see a glimmer of hope. They have learned Prince Ming has caught the gue but seeing Prince Ming standing there perfectly healthy, didnt it mean there was hope for them to live?
Because of Feng Yi Xuan personal management, the entire Xianglin city was operating in an orderly fashion. Even if Feng Yi Xuan didnt do anything, his aura was enough to shock many into submission. The tent quieted...
Meanwhile Lan You Nian was in a different housing arrangement. Here were all those civilians who wereparatively more seriously ill with the gue. From a certain viewpoint, many people here were waiting for death but Lan You Nian knew many people here werendowners of Xianglin citys farnds. Because of these peoples illness, the entire Xianglin citys farnd cultivation has stopped.
When Lan You Nian came into the resettled housing, the civilians all thought they were seeing a celestial maiden, as the entire building quieted, even those children who caught the gue no longer cried as they looked at the fairy sister theyve never seen before.
Lan You Nian hasnt donned any makeup. Her head of ck hair was styled into a stunning butterfly hairstyle, with the remaining hair falling against her thighs with only a butterfly hairpin made of suet white jade as an essory. With a unique white dress, the top half was in the style of a tight-fitting cheongsam, the cuffs and neckline were embellished with blossoms spider lilies, the bottom half was a floor-length skirt, like a carpet of spider lilies.
Princess consort! An Yi and the soldiers under Feng Yi Xuan immediately greeted her upon seeing Lan You Nian. They knew the princess consort hase to Xianglin city. They admired the princess consort greatly from deep in their hearts. A girl who has yet toe of age had such ties of affection and guts, this made many of them iron-blooded soldiers not dare to underestimate her. Perhaps they might not have understood why Prince Ming would adore this princess consort, but now they understood the princess consort was worthy of his highnesss love.
Lan You Nian nodded at Feng Yi Xuans troops. It was very easy to tell they were Feng Yi Xuans most trusted soldiers because only the troops under Feng Yi Xuan could possess such insurmountable aura. However, due to hustle and bustle in this short time, every soldier was a little haggard, even An Yi was a little disheveled. Due to it being the gue, there was no woman to help around, just a group of men so even if Feng Yi Xuan had everything well-nned, they werent meticulous. Many hearts were still panicked.
Thank you for your hardwork! Lan You Nian said, not a polite utterance but a genuine feeling because these were Feng Yi Xuans subordinates so Lan You Nian treated them like Wu Qing Pavilions subordinates.
An Yi and the others were stunned. Theyve been with the prince for many years and have experienced many life and death situations and have never regretted. Though his highness was cold-blooded, hes never been harsh to the brothers under hismand, nor was he an overly chatty person but the princess consorts words of concern gave them a warm feeling.
No trouble! They answered in unison. It was merely truth. On the battlefield, theyve gone through many days of lying low under cover. That time was the most difficult. Because of the princess consorts words of concern, they felt joyous.
Those civilians present were stunned. They didnt expect the noble future Princess Consort Ming toe to Xianglin city that everyone was disgusted with. More importantly, Princess Consort Ming stood amongst them, the civilians who have been infected with the gue, without a hint of disdain, only a warm gentleness.
Many of the civilians rose to greet her. Even if they felt this princess consort was very close to the people, since ancient times the gap between the ordinary citizens and officials were present, they didnt want to lose their life because they didnt properly greet nobility. Lan You Nian smiled gently without refusing because she knew she couldnt stop them.
At this time, a child infected with the gue was forced to bow like his parents but because of his bodys frailness, he tumbled. The entire room was silent as everyone looked to that child, many looking at the child with pity, thinking that this child didnt have long to live. Theyve seen plenty examples of daughters of official families being wantonly cruel to themon people.
But under everyones gaze, Lan You Nian gently smiled as she came over to the five or six year old child, reaching out her pure white-nearly transparent-hands to help up the child. Her gesture was faint but enough to make others feel the warmth behind it. That child blinked as he stared at Lan You Nian and suddenly grabbed Lan You Nians hand, Fairy sister! Did youe to save us!?
The heart that everyone put down was once again forced into a cold sweat by the childs actions, because the childs hand was covered with dust and mud, so when the child pulled at Lan You Nians hand, it was a clear contrast.
Lan You Nians smile remained unchanged as she stroked the childs head, her voice gentle but heard by all in the room, Older sister came to help, so you must behave and drink your medicine.
En en, ANiu will behave! The child nodded vigorously and let go of Lan You Nians hand with his parents pulling at him.
Lan You Nians intimate approach with the civilians made the civilians put to rest their fear and unease. Lan You Nian waved her hand to have all the civilians rise. Lan You Nian put down her airs as a future princess consort and a junzhu to distribute the pills Gui Yi has developed to every citizen.
No matter what Lan You Nian did for these civilians, she did it by hand, without any airs of a daughter of a general. But if you looked closely, it wasnt entire true because Lan You Nian gave off an air that forbid the civilians from acting presumptuously. The effect of thebination of kindness and prestige made people like this Princess consort Ming even more. In just a short time, Lan You Nians reputation spread through the entire Xianglin city. Everyday outside the government office, there were many civiliansing over with various types of gifts to express their hearts, so it can be said Lan You Nians name was even more embedded in peoples hearts than Feng Yi Xuan.
When Feng Yi Xuan saw so many civilians adore and respect Nian Nian, Feng Yi Xuan was proud as if the one being honored was himself. When he saw Nian Nian, he vigorously kissed Nian Nian, feeling proud for Nian Nian.
Today Lan You Nian left the government office with Lan Feng. Though Xianglin city was overrun with the gue, fortunately there was a lot of food here and didnt cause a problem with a famine, so besides the gue, there wasnt any other problems.
Lan junzhu!
Greetings junzhu!
Morning junzhu!
Fairy princess sister is very pretty today!
The moment Lan You Nian stepped out of the government office, she saw many civilians greeting her, with kindness on their brows. Perhaps because Lan You Nians face was extremely deceptive or perhaps Lan You Nians care thest few days made the civilians see hope and warmth, so the civilians truly regarded Lan You Nian as a celestial fairy.
At first everyone called Lan You Nian Princess Consort Ming but Lan Mo Xian felt his little sister has yet to marry Prince Ming, if people were to know, who knows how they will talk about his sister so everyone called Lan You Nian juznhu.
On the road, the civilians greeted as they passed. As she was about to walk into those tents and quarantine housing, Lan Feng hurried over, Young miss, eldest master wants young miss to go to the medicine room!
Gui Yi stayed in the medicine room all day withouting out, even his meals were brought in by Lan Mo Xian. Gui Yi was focused on developing a method to resist the gue. For Gui Yi to suddenly look for her, Lan You Nian believed Gui Yi might have found a way to resist against the gue.
