CHAPTER 295: RETURN

I waited there day after day, month after month, until two years had passed. Then, all of a sudden, the Beauty Palace was dissolved. She was briefly stunned, but then realised that she hadn’t been able to live her life for the entire time that she was there, lamenting that she had lost sight of who she was. Eight years …

CHAPTER 286: HOUSE ARREST

“Tomorrow.” This one simple word was a huge blow to Yun Ruofeng’s heart. They are leaving tomorrow – so soon. Yun Ruofeng used both hands to push himself into a sitting position; before he could do so, however, Ning Lianchen had already raised a hand and pushed him back down. The former was already completely out of strength. “Physician Fang …

CHAPTER 287: THE VEIL ARE REMOVED

At this time, Pei Qianhao had left the stone pavilion and headed for the flower pergola in the backyard. Five flower growers stood in a row as they waited for Prince Hao to make his final decision. Su Xi-er stood aside and bowed. “Prince Hao, please choose from the remaining five people.” In the last two rounds of selection, he …

CHAPTER 288: FENG CHANGQING SELECTED

I’m just applying the powder to test its efficacy; does she have to look like I’m torturing her? Pei Qianhao was displeased. Su Xi-er shook her head. “Prince Hao, quickly finish applying the powder so that this servant can put my clothes back on.” Pei Qianhao deliberately retracted his hand and stood up, silently watching her. Not hearing any movements, …

CHAPTER 289: MEETING MEI JINXIU AGAIN

Su Xi-er’s expression changed when she heard Pei Qianhao’s order. He asked me to take a stroll with him before he took advantage of me. What does he mean now that he’s issuing the same order? Su Xi-er was naturally unwilling to go. The two imperial guards at the side urged her softly, “Don’t defy Prince Hao; quickly catch up.” …

CHAPTER 290: A BLOW

Mei Jinxiu shook her head repeatedly. “That won’t do. All generations must abide by our ancestral teachings. I beg of you, I’m fine with just being a concubine.” “Don’t you understand the meaning of ‘get out’?” Pei Qianhao’s voice was cold and harsh, his gaze only staying on Mei Jinxiue for an instant before moving to Su Xi-er. Su Xi-er …

CHAPTER 281: UTTERLY DISPIRITED AND HOPELESS

There was no movement from the horse carriage until Pei Yaran’s voice could be heard from behind the curtains. “Commandery Prince Xie, you’ve been holed up in your residence for so long without a care in the world. Could it be that you want to abandon court affairs and retreat into the mountains to leave a life of seclusion?” The …

CHAPTER 282: TOO LATE

When he finally found Prince Yun, the latter was bending over to pick up the pieces of the shattered wine pot before he fell into the lake. Waves broke the surface of the lake, blowing apart it’s previously serene surface. Qin Ling immediately ran up and jumped into the lake, taking ahold of Yun Ruofeng’s arm and attempting to bring …

CHAPTER 283: DO YOU DARE

Pei Qianhao looked at her carefully and suddenly stood up from the upper seat, slowly making his way towards Su Xi-er. Although he wasn’t walking very fast, each step was heavy. When he finally stopped in front of her, he tucked a hand under her chin to lift her head up. His handsome face suddenly filled Su Xi-er’s vision. “How …

CHAPTER 284: PICKING THE FLOWER GROWER

Ning Lianchen nodded. “This Emperor will go now.” He then looked at Su Xi-er. “Miss Xi-er, when did Prince Hao say that he would return to Beimin?” “We will return around noon tomorrow.” She knew that Lianchen couldn’t bear to see them leave. “Returning to Beimin so soon.” Ning Lianchen’s tone had a trace of reluctance, but he quickly composed …
