Volume One, Chapter 54: The Abduction-Depois de servir como criada por muitos anos, todo o palácio imperial virou um crematório(Ling Xia fez uma oração)

Ruan Liuzheng shook her head. "I don't know either."

Prince Xuan spoke softly, "If you don't want to stay, shall we leave this place?"

Ruan Liuzheng replied, "Since we're already here, there's no need to spoil the mood."

She no longer had any feelings for Chu Yunze; she simply regarded him as the emperor.

The two of them went over to pay respects to the emperor and empress. Ruan Yingying’s gaze lingered on Prince Xuan.

Then Elder Yuan led the remaining boys to another tower, repeating the process of sending several boys inside.

The next morning at school, Li He arrived late, entering the classroom when almost everyone else was already there.

Pondering over those words carefully, I snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and looked at Fatty Wang in disbelief. Fatty Wang didn’t say a word; he just stared at me steadily.

However, one must admit, perhaps because An Le had experienced imprisonment and the fickleness of human nature, her heart had softened.

And when her health finally improved, becoming lively and vigorous... she began menstruating, her body starting to develop.

Seeing Xue Qi’s dazed expression, I felt a pang of heartache, but that faint pain in my heart was overshadowed by my anger toward her.

She leaned quietly against my back, holding me warmly with her hands. I kept riding the bicycle, riding on and on, yet I felt no fatigue.

The sofa in the hall was the kind often seen in old films—roughly made and not very comfortable to sit on. After years of use, the surface had developed a glossy sheen.

Yao Siqing had no such intention, but her words were misunderstood, implicating the entire court of ministers.

But seeing her haggard face and that once innocent, lovely countenance, it seemed she could hardly force a smile anymore.

“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Ma? What brings you to our Champs-Élysées? Has your family’s restaurant closed down, and you’ve come here to scrounge a meal?” Lin Jie chuckled lightly, stepping forward with a cold tone.

Ji Baoquan, being well-experienced, was asked by the Four Treasures to stay until the ancestral temple was completed.

The man yanked a hidden knife from the dog’s head, staring blankly at the blade in his hand. Originally about thirty centimeters long, the blade had doubled in length, becoming slender, elongated, and with a razor-sharp tip, resembling a longsword. As the heat surged within him toward the blade, it seemed to come alive, ready to move at any moment.

Chen Xuan could never have imagined that just a few seconds of impatiently trying to hang up the phone would lead him down such a detour. Xia Shiyun already knew how to open the Qian Kun pouch, yet Chen Xuan had not obtained this knowledge and was still scheming to extract it from Cao Fusheng.

Old Master He felt a chill run through his body, shivering slightly, but could not utter a complete sentence.

“It’s just a common dispute. Why drag my father into this? What are your true intentions!” Longsun Chong roared.

But when Tang Yan bent down to touch the dry soil, Liang Chen immediately stopped her. "Don't move!" he said, signaling Tang Yan to step back. Once she was completely out of the grave’s vicinity, Liang Chen bent down, picked up a dry twig, and forcefully stirred the ground.

The next day, Qing Feng and Master Mingyue led all the disciples of Mingyue Hall away. Outside Shangyun Fortress remained only Tian Yue, Xuan Zhen, Qianshou, and Phantom. Those hiding within the fortress naturally noticed, but suspected a trap and kept observing quietly.

Chen Xuan examined Natasha thoroughly with an aesthetic eye. He could confidently assure himself he was purely appreciating her appearance, without any other complicated thoughts.

But I clearly remember my boss telling me you were only here to help voluntarily. Are you now asking for payment?
