Her voice harboured a trace of excitement. I will keep an eye out for this black gilded horse carriage in the future. I might be able to beg for Prince Hao to keep Young Miss and not chase her away. In contrast to the excited Cui-er, Tan Ge was much more composed. “Even if Prince Hao is standing in front …

To think that the original Su Xi-er had such an unfortunate life. “Pei Yong will be beheaded at noon tomorrow. Leave the past behind, and don’t bring it up again.” Pei Qianhao ran a hand through her hair as he spoke, hooking it behind her ear. Before entering the palace, the owner of this body was really taken in by …

Not only was Su Xi-er unbothered, she even had a smile on her face. “Empress Dowager, this servant is a citizen of Beimin; why would this servant need to feel ashamed about returning to my home country? Shouldn’t this servant instead feel honoured for being allowed to travel to Nanzhao? After all, there are countless women in this nation, including …

“It’s this Empress Dowager business on how I want to manage the Imperial Harem, and nobody can interfere. If you kill this Empress Dowager, there is no way Prince Hao can save you even if he wants to!” Pei Yaran started to threaten Su Xi-er. No matter what, Su Xi-er can’t kill the Empress Dowager of a nation! Su Xi-er …

An imperial physician would immediately see the difference between a new wound and an old wound, so Pei Yaran called out to the imperial guards outside the room. “Go to the Imperial Physician Institute and call for Imperial Physician Zhao.” When the guards outside the room heard this, one of them immediately bowed and acknowledged the order.

Imperial Physician Zhao’s brows soon furrowed before he flashed a meaningful look at Su Xi-er that only she could see. This wound is an …

Pei Anru’s father is Pei Yong, who is currently awaiting execution in prison. In the end, Xie Yun simply pretended like he had seen …

Pei Yaran made herself known, walking towards Pei Anru and stopping in front of her. She had seen the sliver of mockery that flickered past the recesses of Pei Qianhao’s eyes. Pei Yaran looked down at Pei Anru with a penetrating gaze, her eyes narrowing to slits when she saw that the latter had pulled her upper garment down. There …

“What a joke; this Empress Dowager didn’t think that you would be the one to say this to me. Instead of being concerned about others, you should tell that to yourself first. Some things will never be yours no matter how hard you try, Commandery Prince Xie.” Pei Yaran’s eyes were full of mockery as she departed towards the Compassionate …

Seeing how determined she looked, Pei Yaran waved her hand and called a palace maid over. “Take her to the Palace Side Quarters and immediately return. If you get held up for too long and get discovered, this Empress Dowager will not spare you.” The palace maid’s heart skipped a beat before she nodded. “This servant understands.” After that, she …
