Volume 1, Chapter 43: The Mysterious Signal
After everyone rushed Fu E to the hospital, the diagnosis revealed that all the bones in her body had been shattered, and not a single one remained intact.
No one knew what Bai Xuesheng was plotting right now, or what she hoped to achieve by luring Fu Tingyuan over. Only with Fu Tingyuan staying behind would Luo Nanchang have the greatest chance of rescue.
For some reason, he felt that this time might be completely different from all the rest. He felt an indescribable terror, anxiety, and dread, unable to imagine what he would do if any accident befell his sister.
However, just as they were fleeing, some mages suddenly sensed something was amiss. A wave of magical energy abruptly erupted on the outer perimeter of the royal gardens, and countless spells immediately came flying through the air. Fireballs and wind blades materialized within the royal grounds, instantly felling a great number of trees.
After pressing the doorbell twice, a familiar voice rang out from inside: "Coming." Though it was spoken in Japanese.
Without a moment's hesitation, Tianjin bestowed this name upon her. In truth, while it seemed unconsidered, he had already thought of the child's name the moment he witnessed the auspicious heavenly sign earlier.
An Mu slowly raised her head, looking at the man through her lenses. He still wore that same cynical expression, with handsome features, but what a pity—he looked like a beast in human clothing. How many of the men who came here to play were any good?
"In other words, if you had the ability, you'd bang him?" Du Yanhang unceremoniously picked up a piece of meat and popped it into his mouth.
"Alright, let's go, let's head out of the city." Once the personnel for the journey were selected and Li Shimin arranged everything, he stood up. The other court officials instinctively wanted to stop him.
"What on earth is this surprise?" Meng Qianxun suddenly remembered the surprise he had mentioned earlier. Seeing him acting so mysterious, she really had no idea what it could be.
The promiscuous vixen princess ignored him. Flying down from the pagoda at the peak of Lingshan, she returned puffing and panting, riding the clouds back to the Magic Ancestor Cave in the mountain hollow of Lingshan.
"Wait until school lets out, I'll call the two of you then, come pick up your daddies," I said, smiling as I looked at Yi Ge.
Seeing her sudden flash of enlightenment and her spirits lifting, Dongfang Qi also curved the corners of his lips. He did not know when it had started, but her happiness had become his happiness, and her unhappiness had become his unhappiness.
With the flick of a black cloth, the entire arena fell silent. It turned out to be... a rabbit? A snow-white rabbit was huddled inside the cage, its fleshy paws clutching a carrot as it happily nibbled away.
"There's nothing to explain, and I can't be bothered to explain either," I said, taking a deep breath before burying my face back down on the desk.
Taohua kept her eyes tightly shut. In fact, the moment she was pulled back into her mother Zhang's embrace, she had stopped holding her breath and pretending to be dead, resuming her normal breathing. It was simply that Zhang's grief was too overwhelming for her to notice.
Hardening her heart, Meng Qianxun finally made her decision and said nothing more. Her slightly lowered gaze offered a clear view of her abdomen; for the sake of her child, she had no other choice.
The old pedant was both a mentor and a friend to the emperor. Hearing that he had been contradicted, the emperor immediately ordered him to enter the palace for an audience. Had it not been for the rule prohibiting anyone from entering the Academy privately, Huo Chengfeng would have gladly bound Huo Qingren himself and sent her into the palace.
After the abbot finished speaking to Emperor Yue Ri Dijun, he and Chancellor Huang Yue walked out of the Bioxia Palace. Seeing them walk into the distance, Emperor Yue Ri Dijun returned to the dragon throne and sat down.
Everyone did not take Wu Ling'er's words too seriously; having Shi Ming's help would be better, but even without it, they would do their utmost to resolve this matter. Only, wasn't this fellow just sleeping a moment ago? How did he wake up?
Situ Jingliang set down his tableware, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and then grabbed another tissue to wipe hers. The intimacy of the gesture was completely unconscious on his part.
"Must we get married? Do we really have to get married?" Fan Yiyi let out a bitter chuckle, "Qianqian, we haven't reached that stage yet, have we?" Perhaps there would be another turning point in the future.
Fan Zhixiang smiled as he looked at Liu Zaiyi: "You'd better voluntarily and consciously say what needs to be said, otherwise, none of us here will mind throwing you into the fish pond to feed the fish!" Yet the smile on his face looked terrifying no matter how one gazed at it.
Amidst the anxious gazes of Zhuge Yi and Gongsun Zhou, Yun Qianxue was seized by the imperial guards and dragged outside the hall to be executed.
Cheng Feihu and Xu Jie looked ashen. The most terrifying thing in this world was to be given a glimmer of hope amidst despair, only to watch it vanish right before your eyes.
Shen Yuechen did not turn out as fragile as the Zhu family had anticipated, which undoubtedly surprised the elders of the household.
Chi Xucheng furrowed his brow, while the hundred officials were utterly bewildered. Wasn't the princess of the Tianyuan Dynasty already dead? Why would she be in their country? Could it be!
Yun Qianxue angrily flicked her sleeve, finished speaking with cold detachment, and turned to walk away. Staying with Murong Xi was simply a waste of time, life, and air!
"It's nothing, just some fetal agitation. I'll go find a doctor to take a look," Qianqian exhaled.
Yet she, who once bore a familiar face, now sported a head of purple hair. Against her dark eyes, she appeared even more aloof, her proud countenance glowing with the chilling detachment of an immortal.
