Chapter 581: Trouble Brought Home
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Yun Sheng took several steps and then could not help turning around and looking at Ye Lingyue. The gaze might be the last. Yun Sheng’s lips shook slightly and she turned back by restraining the impulse deep inside.
She went on walking and then stopped when seeing a short and wretched man.
The man was dressed in the guards’ clothes but kept looking around. When he saw Yun Sheng, he was also quite surprised by her beauty. But he soon lowered his head with a guilty conscience and passed by quickly.
“What is on the man’s body?” Yun Sheng frowned.
She was regarded as the medicine Buddha in the world of men and gods. Undoubtedly, she had no match in terms of medical skills.
When the guard was passing by, his body gave out a flavor of medicine. The flavor was not strong but soon recognized by Yun Sheng who had far better senses than ordinary people. It was from serious knockout medicine—the Soul Reaping Incense.
The incense would knock out anyone that touched it, including warriors in the reincarnation realm.
As far as Yun Sheng knew, no more than 10 people on the Qing Continent could make this incense.
Besides, most of them were members of sects. That guard tried his best to hide his power, but Yun Sheng had sharp eyes and could tell that he was a warrior in the reincarnation realm.
Just now, the place which he looked at secretly was where the bride’s room was located.
Yun Sheng was lost in meditation. Then she avoided the crowd and in her hand appeared a strange-looking scepter.
There was a glow of light and the shape of the Star Light magical structure was shown under her feet.
“Master, what can I do for you?”
Standing before Yun Sheng was the crowned Charming Night Queen with black hair and skin.
The Charming Night members were good at tracking and hiding, hence born assassins.
“Follow the short man in front and inform me of all his acts.” At this time, Yun Sheng who was giving orders looked rather cold, in stark contrast with her look when she was together with Ye Lingyue.
The Charming Night Queen said yes and fluttered before disappearing into the darkness.
After that, Yun Sheng joined the banquet. She selected an inconspicuous table and started drinking tea slowly.
Outside the Ye Manor, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were still welcoming the guests.
“Congratulations from Marquis Qinghai and his family.”
Marquis Qinghai walked in with his eldest son and congratulated Ye Lingyue over and over again.
A moment later, several grand carriages stopped before the manor. Seeing the dressed imperial guards before the carriages, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er immediately realized that the emperor arrived with his mother and grandmother.
The new emperor Xia Houqi got off unhappily.
“Brother Qi, why don’t you help me?”
An affectedly sweet voice came from the carriage and stupefied Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er.
It was the voice of Princess Qingbi. When did this stroppy princess come to Da Xia?
Xia Houqi’s handsome face turned red when he saw Ye Lingyue.
That day, he behaved inappropriately in the royal study. After that, he dared not look directly at Ye Lingyue for long.
Princess Qingbi jumped from the carriage angrily. She humphed when seeing the way Xia Houqi looked at Ye Lingyue. Then she approached Xia and grabbed his arms, seeming to show that Xia belonged to her.
Xia Houqi frowned and wanted to shake off the hands of Princess Qingbi.
At this time, however, Xia’s mother Mrs. Liu also got off.
“Qi’er, Princess Qingbi is new to Da Xia. As her future husband, you should show more consideration.”
“Your mother is right. There are so many guests at the banquet that you should take good care of the princess.” Xia’s grandmother got off the carriage behind together with a person.
When seeing this person, Ye Lingyue’s and Lan Cai’er’s facial expression changed slightly.
Xu Pianran was pretty and sweet. Moreover, she was an important guest from North Qing. In just several days, she managed to please Xia’s grandmother. Princess Qingbi was of noble birth.
Xia’s grandmother was always afraid that Xia might offend her and thus kept on urging him to show more consideration.
After they left the royal palace, Princess Qingbi insisted on sitting in the same carriage with Xia despite the disagreement of the etiquette officers. All along the way, Xia looked gloomy.
Not only Princess Qingbi but also the fairy-like girl in the Dan Palace had come. The banquet tonight was truly a sensation.
“The wedding ceremony is about to start. Please move into the manor.” Although there were conflicts between Ye Lingyue and Xue Pianran, Ye Lingyue showed politeness to these guests since today was the wedding day of her mother.
“Wow! I hear the bride is your mother. Surprisingly, the people in Da Xia are so open-minded. A woman that has already been expelled by her husband can still marry a good gentleman.” Princess Qingbi spoke maliciously after taking just several steps.
Ye Lingyue frowned. She could tolerate Princess Qingbi but would in no way allow others to speak ill of Ye Huangyu.
“What did you say?!” Xia also got angry and got rid of Princess Qingbi, walking in by himself.
“Brother Qi.” Princess Qingbi got nervous. She glared at Ye Lingyue and then rushed to follow Xia inside.
Xia’s mother and grandmother felt embarrassed. They ordered servers to send the gifts and then walked in.
Xu Pianran deliberately walked slowly and stopped beside Ye Lingyue.
“Did you tell Feng Shen all about it?”
After reaching Xia City, Xue Pianran directly went to the Feng Manor But was stopped by warriors who said that Feng Shen was not at home.
Xue Pianran went there twice and the results were the same. While getting angry, she blamed all of this on Ye Lingyue. She was sure that Ye Lingyue had told Feng Shen about what happened in the Star Cave. It was she that had framed Ye Lingyue. So Feng Shen treated her coldly now.
Xue Pianran should have disdained to attend the wedding ceremony of Ye Lingyue’s mother. This time, however, she was present since she believed that Feng Shen would appear.
“What are you talking about? You and Princess Qingbi exchanged my charcoal or jade carving? You tried to rely on Concubine Luo to deal with me?” Ye Lingyue was not a good-will girl at all times.
Xue Pianran tried to hurt her several times and she would not bear it anymore.
Xue Pianran did not expect Ye Lingyue to even know about the exchange of charcoal. Instantly, Xue Pianran’s expression turned complex.
“Ah! It is you that have done all these! Xue Pianran, you are the fairy-like girl in the Dan Palace and no one would link you with these terrible things. You pretend to be harmless but is truly a demon!” Lan Cai’er heard Ye’s words and flew into a rage.
She did not care about the fact that she was right standing outside the Ye Manor. She put her hands around her waist and swore at Xue Pianran, looking like a female tiger.
