“The Ninth Prince is here too!”
Wang Chongye’s expression brightened, and he exchanged a glance with everyone present.
They all understood what Wang Chongye intended to do.
A First-Rank Confucian was a prize too tempting to pass up.
Besides, the capital was in chaos, and rumors spoke of a Transcendent-Grade Black Beast appearing.
All they had to do was kill the Ninth Prince and blame it on the Transcendent-Grade Black Beast. Even if Emperor Qingli harbored suspicions, he would have no recourse.
“Invite him in at once!”
“Yes!”
Everything Guan Chenji had left to say was transformed into one lingering “kiss.” In full view of the server in the VIP room, he “kissed” Gu Meng.
Qu Yiyi could hardly believe it. Meng Yue had disguised herself so flawlessly and deceived everyone in the Meng household for more than a decade. How had the other party suddenly seen through her?
Before long, Leng Yue raised a hand and pushed against Feng Qiye’s chest. Ever since peace had come to the world, Feng Qiye seemed to be practicing a saying every day: once one is well fed and warmly clothed, one begins to think of lust.

Yet now, the two alliances, including their leaders, were all surprisingly cordial. They had even begun cooperating. How could that fail to astonish people?
The reason she had come to this world was now impossible to know. Had she come here simply to meet him?
More villagers arrived one after another, around a dozen in all, and they were extremely grateful for Da Niu’s actions. At a glance, Da Niu saw that they were all elderly, with one of them being disabled.
The Wicked King’s carriage was the most understated form of discreet luxury, known throughout the capital. Yet at this particular moment, the soldiers’ needless questioning only brought matching mocking, icy smiles to Leng Yue and Feng Qiye’s faces.
“I have never failed to obtain anything I wanted!” Fu Shaojun’s voice was weak, but his tone was vicious beyond measure.
Hearing this, Nangong Baiyi was stunned. She too thought Wuming was outstanding, but she had never imagined that Wuming might have feelings for her. Only after Ning Qianye brought it up did she recall that perhaps there really had been some indication of it in the past. This also showed how deeply Wuming had concealed his feelings.
Baili Xia brought it over and gave it a cursory look. To her surprise, they were all films and various projects from Flying Snow Media over the years.
Only then did Li Leyun realize that Li Shihong was truly furious. Reluctantly, she fell silent.
“That’s good. I believe you’re a grateful and well-behaved little darling. Besides, I haven’t made any particular demands of you for doing all this, have I?” Chu Tianhao asked it.
“What is this? Leather?” Jing Tian had thought Mo Qing had really managed to produce plastic infusion tubes in Sheng Tang. She had not expected Doctor Chen to take out something made of thin leather.
Steward Yu had, of course, heard about what happened that morning, and he also knew that Consort Ling was now the emperor’s favorite. But Qi Shaofan’s threats infuriated him.

Was it really necessary to end their relationship simply because she had temporarily forgotten, because she temporarily no longer loved him, because she had said some irrational things and caused him pain when he heard them, and because he could not bear it?
However, although the Twin-Pole Mysterious Orchid was a rare medicinal herb, its uses were limited. Only a handful of alchemists could refine it into pills, so it was impossible to seize it by force.
Unfortunately, Princess Xinyang knew nothing of the intricacies involved. Nor had she imagined that this matter, known to everyone familiar with them, had actually been concealed from Chancellor Chen and Madam Chen.
As soon as the call ended, Lian Xinying smacked him sharply on the backside once more, punishing him.
Wei Jinxiu’s eyes widened. Her body dropped into a crouch of its own accord, narrowly avoiding the scissors that swung toward her.
Ning Ye asked, for the terrifying thought that would not leave his mind made even uttering Long Liuxi’s name feel unnatural.
More importantly, this meant that they had gained another direct path to cultivating until their vital energy and blood could reach divine communion.
