CHAPTER 75: SECRETLY SNEAKING OUT

There was no one on the small path. When they were about to reach the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the mellifluous sound of traditional Chinese bamboo music entered their ears. With the aid of the moonlight, they noticed that there was a woman donned in a white dress in the small pavilion. Although she was aware that …

CHAPTER 66: A DISTINCTIVE AURA

Around 7.30pm, Su Xi-er heard a noise in front of her room, followed by He Ying’s yells. “Splendid, Su Xi-er! The Empress Dowager’s clothes are so valuable, yet you actually dared to tear them! You definitely did it on purpose. Haul her out from her room.” Without waiting for Su Xi-er to walk out of the room, the door was …

CHAPTER 67: MEDDLING

The corners of He Ying’s mouth rose for a moment before she recovered and spoke in a laid back tone. “These are the flower pots. Place the large ones in the corners of the parterre, and the smaller ones around the perimeter. After you’re done, wait for me to come back to inspect your work before you can return to …

CHAPTER 68: SELF-ACKNOWLEDGED ONE’S OWN TERRIBLE LUCK

Although restricting He Ying prevented her from moving too much and hurting herself, the unbearable itchiness caused her to whimper incessantly. Her flushed face and the thorns that hadn’t been pulled out formed a particularly ghastly sight. Imperial Physician Zhao had sharp eyes and acted deftly, only taking a few moments to remove the remaining flower thorns. Soon after, he …

CHAPTER 69: STEWING IN ONE’S OWN JUICE

In He Ying’s eyes, the current Su Xi-er was a frightening existence. Even though her eyebrows were clearly arched as she smiled, it caused He Ying to feel a nip in the air instead. Back when she was standing next to the parterre, she didn’t know what had happened. All she remembered was feeling a sharp pain in her knee …

CHAPTER 70: EMPHASISED THAT THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP

She is indeed very beautiful. If she removes that coarse palace attire and changes into a silk gauze dress, she will definitely attract the gazes of countless people. The more Pei Yaran recognised this, the more uneasy she felt. She was afraid that Pei Qianhao’s attitude towards Su Xi-er was not one of temporary interest, but of long term interest …

CHAPTER 61: DONE APPRECIATING

Without needing him to signal with his eyes, two imperial guards hauled He Ying out of the Laundry Service Bureau and toward Yuchi Mo’s location. The very same imperial guards that He Ying had brought along were now dragging her to have her eyes dug out. He Ying was angry and scared. The sound of her unceasing screams frightened the …

CHAPTER 62: BROADENED MY HORIZONS

However, she heard another piece of news the next day. He Ying’s eyeballs weren’t dug out, and the Empress Dowager was still furious over Flower’s death. Su Xi-er had just finished her breakfast when she overhead the nearby palace maids discussing it fervently. “Why did the Empress Dowager only fly into a rage now? Why weren’t there any movements last …

CHAPTER 63: INCENSED

At the moment, Wu Ling still didn’t know that the Empress Dowager had been looking for him. Rather,, she was searching for Prince Hao, but couldn’t find him. As a result, she could only look for Prince Hao’s personal bodyguard. However, she didn’t even know where his personal bodyguard had gone! ~~~ Pei Yaran sat at the head seat in …

CHAPTER 64: ADMIRE

“Su Xi-er, are you going or not?” Wu Ling asked. It was as if he would immediately take her to meet Prince Hao as long as she nodded. “Imperial Bodyguard Wu, are you sure you haven’t been beaten silly? What time is it now? Even if this servant didn’t need to, your prince does have to rest.” “Prince Hao has …
