God of Gamble Crazy 081 Arrives at the Throne of Ten Thousand Updates

  Born into a royal family is something that ordinary people dream of, but how many people in the real royal family are truly happy?

  As the son of Mei Fei, the favored imperial concubine among the six palaces, Mo Yan Hua had been doted on by the previous emperor since he was young, but also drew jealousy from his brothers.

  At that time he listened to his mother's words and got along well with his brothers and sisters.

  He was very afraid and helpless, thinking that as long as he tolerated it, they wouldn't bully him.

  But he was wrong, the repeated framing, hovering between life and death, too much darkness and fear, shrouded in a small body.

  Thrown into a lotus pond, poisoned, burned by fire, beaten to death by Empress and several imperial brothers...

  When he was young, Feng Mian Xue's delicate small hands saved him, and for the first time in his heart, there was someone he wanted to protect.

  The person who poisoned him was his nanny from back then, slowly adding the poison to his food day by day, accumulating it over time until it penetrated into his bones. Only when he had no cure left did she trigger the effects of the poison.

  After years of conditioning, he had grown accustomed to the agony of the Inferno's poisonous blood, but the poison that was being suppressed by half a Quenching Spirit Fruit was stirring once more, due to his recent intense emotional fluctuations.

  "How can the poison of the divine blood be resolved?"

  Feng Mei Xue listened as Mo Yan Hua lightly and briefly spoke of his childhood, without going into details, she could still sense how bitter his life was back then.

  It's just a small phoenix mansion, with only a few aunts and young ladies, yet she is living a life of misery. The imperial palace, this place that devours people without spitting out their bones, is full of ruthless characters who hide knives behind their smiles and have honey in their mouths but swords in their bellies, he is having an even harder time than her.

  No wonder she felt so familiar with him. It turned out that they had met long ago when they were young. The prince she saved from the lotus pond was actually him.

  Thinking of him giving her the life-saving Spring Spirit Fruit without hesitation, a dense ache floated up from her chest. The emotion in her heart was like a turbulent wave, surging and churning, constantly stirring and rushing towards her entire body.

  The delicate jade fingers grasped his palm with a thin layer of callus, revealing an inexplicable tenderness.

  His long and slender hands held hers firmly, giving her an extremely stable feeling.

  A sense of security blended with the warm dawn light shining on both of them.

  "Master mentioned that only the legendary ancient rare flower, San Sheng Lian, can dispel the Burning God's Blood Poison on my body."

  Moyan Hua didn't conceal it from him, and told him the method that Shifu had told her. However, the Three Lives Lotus was after all a legend, and it's hard to say whether such a thing actually existed. But since Shifu had said so, he must have had a basis for it.

  "Who is your master? And what is this Three Lives Lotus?"

  Feng Mei Xue had always been curious about his mysterious master, and wondered what kind of person could teach such a disciple, thinking that his master must also be an extraordinary person.

  She had never heard of the San Sheng Lian flower before, but she quietly remembered it in her heart.

  "Shifu is the head of the Mengyue clan, named Lihu, a highly respected and virtuous outsider. As for Sanshenglian, Shifu didn't provide many clues, I only know that if you gather nine Linglong lotus beads, you can get information about Sanshenglian."

  Mo Yan Hua gazed up at the sky, as if staring at a vague and distant future. He often thought that his master was just giving him hope, so that his life wouldn't be spent in despair.

  Linglong Lianzhu and Sansheng Lian, he had never seen either of them before. He heard some news about Linglong Lianzhu, but it was fleeting.

  "Does Linglong Lianzhu have nine beads in total?"

  Feng Mei Xue heard that the poison on Mo Yan Hua's body could only be lifted by finding San Sheng Lian through the Ling Long Lian Pearl, and immediately thought of the two Ling Long Lian Pearls on her own body. As long as she finds the remaining seven pearls, she can know where San Sheng Lian is.

  "Uh, 99 returns to one. The Linglong Lotus also has nine beads, representing gold, wood, water, fire, earth, darkness, light, time and space. Each of the Linglong Lotus beads is a different color. I've also heard that if you collect all nine colored lotus beads, there will be a great creation."

  Mo Yanhua walked down the city building, and as he walked, he told her about the situation he knew. In order to find Lingjiao Lianzhu, he also browsed through a large number of ancient books and learned that this thing did exist, but it had long been lost and didn't know where it was buried.

  "I just so happen to have two Linglong lotus seeds, and with the two of us working together in harmony, we'll find the remaining seven. With me by your side and working together, you're sure to recover!"

  Feng Mei Xue's mind stirred, and two delicate lotus pearls appeared in her hand, emitting a soft glow that instantly calmed the turbulent blood energy on Mo Yan Hua's body, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.

  Simply being enveloped by Ling'er's aura, he could already feel that wondrous power.

  "Really is exquisite!"

  A wild joy sparkled in her eyes, just like a traveler lost in the desert who had found an oasis, and she was suddenly invigorated.

  He originally thought Feng Mian Xue was just joking, but she actually took out the Ling Long Lian Zhu.

  And then he took out two more, which made him almost unbelievable!

  Looking at its appearance and aura, it is exactly the same as the records in the ancient books he has read, it is indeed Linglong Lianzhu.

  Seeing his joyful appearance was like a child who had just gotten candy, with a sweet and sticky smile spreading from the corners of his lips, making her heart involuntarily soften.

  "Here, take it!"

  Feng Mei Xue handed the Linglong Lianzhu to Mo Yan Hua, but before he could touch it, the Lianzhu suddenly seemed to come to life and turned into a wisp of smoke, darting into the Wheel of Reincarnation Butterfly's eyes and disappearing without a trace.

  "Master, the Linglong lotus beads have been imbued with your soul's aura and cannot be touched by others. The lotus beads also have a temper, if you let others touch them, they will rebel!"

  Sheng Ming said calmly, his voice echoing clearly in Feng Mian Xue's mind.

  "That little thing is quite unique!"

  Feng Mei Xue smiled wryly and said with some helplessness. Unexpectedly, the small Linglong Lianzhu was so spiritual. Don't let anyone else move except her.

  It seems she had to give up the idea of giving Lingluo Lianzhu to him to heal his wounds.

  "The lotus pearls are spiritual objects, it seems they have acknowledged Xue Er as their master."

  Moyan Hua saw Linglong Lianzhu escape, and after being stunned for a moment, she understood the reason. She didn't have any regrets in her heart, but instead felt happy that Feng Muxue had obtained this spiritual object.

  "I didn't know it would be like this!"

  Feng Mei Xue gazed at his slightly haggard face, thinking of ways to help him alleviate his suffering.

  Right! How could she have forgotten Sheng Ming, who was well-versed in ancient secrets?

  Ask it, and you might get an unexpected gain.

  "Sheng Ming, do you know how to clear the Soul Scorching Poison that has seeped into his body?"

  "It can slowly absorb the demonic blood toxin! This way won't cause too much harm to his body, otherwise, forced detoxification will turn him into a useless person."

  Sheng Ming thought for a moment and replied cautiously.

  "Can Sansheng Lian absorb the poisonous blood of Zhu Shen?"

  Feng Mei Xue communicated with Sheng Ming through her mind, while walking towards the Golden Hall with Mo Yan Hua. Today's early court session was Mo Yan Hua's first truly meaningful personal governance, and it held great significance.

  "When it comes to the Three Lives Lotus, I recall seeing it once before. It's a truly wondrous lotus flower that takes 3,000 years for its leaves to grow and 30,000 years for it to bloom, much like people experiencing the long passage of three lives and three worlds, hence its name. Unfortunately, each time the Three Lives Lotus is reborn, it appears in a different location, so I'm powerless to do anything."

  Sheng Ming said with nostalgia, at that time, he saw a scene of San Sheng Lian, even now, he still can't forget. Because it was really too shocking, making him want to forget is very difficult.

  Every time San Sheng Lian blooms in a cycle is fixed, like sunrise and sunset, it's extremely regular.

  The flowering period is only one day, and after withering, it will dive underground and start a new cycle.

  "The San Sheng Lian can indeed absorb the poison from his body, but using it to detoxify would be a waste of its abilities. The last time I saw the San Sheng Lian bloom was at the start of a new cycle, and it will take about two more years for it to bloom again. His body won't last that long, even if we find the San Sheng Lian, it'll be useless."

  Upon hearing Sheng Ming's words, Feng Mian Xue's complexion instantly turned pale. Her teeth bit her red lips, and the bottom of her eyes hid a deep unease, her hair hanging down to cover half of her face, not revealing any clues to Mo Yan Hua.

  She and he still have a lifetime to go, she won't let him leave first.

  "There is actually a very simple method that can remove the poison from his body. However, this method does not count as detoxification, but rather transferring the blood toxin."

  Sheng Ming felt Feng Mi Xue's anxiety and worry in her heart, thought for a moment, then spoke up.

  "No matter what method, I will try it!"

  Feng Mei Xue heard a turn of events and hastily asked in excitement.

  "Linglong Lianzhu has the ability to absorb the Three Births Lotus, if the master and he practice dual cultivation together, then he can absorb the poison on his body onto himself, condensing it into the Linglong Lianzhu."

  Sheng Ming originally didn't plan to speak, but Feng Mei Xue's excessively strong obsession made it involuntarily feel a pang in its heart, and could only open its mouth to say the method. At the same time, it also solemnly told her that the consequences of doing so would be unpredictable. Even it itself didn't know what kind of aftereffects there would be.

  "Linglong Lianzhu can temporarily suppress the burning god's blood poison, but later on, your body will produce some bad aftereffects."

  "Double cultivation!"

  Feng Mei Xue heard his words, her absolutely beautiful face instantly flushed with a thin layer of red.

  Her heart was racing violently, and a flame kept burning on her face, scorching hot.

  Her mind was a jumble of thoughts all mixed together, making her thinking utterly chaotic.

  She walked forward with her head down, looking worried as she watched him go.

  "Xue Er, there's a pillar ahead, be careful!"

  Mo Yanhua saw that she was about to bump into the pillar, so he quickly pulled her back, bent down and looked at her, only to see soft hair surrounding her small face, which was as big as a palm.

  At this moment, her face was as delicate and charming as a peach blossom in the morning dew. Her eyes, moist and hazy like misty rain, glanced at him, making his heart skip a beat, almost intoxicating him with the tenderness that radiated from her, unwilling to awaken.

  "Oh, I didn't see it just now!"

  Feng Mei Xue snapped back to reality, only to find herself being pulled into his arms. She recalled the words of Sheng Ming about the poison transfer method, her heart racing like a deer, and her breathing quickened slightly.

  "Let's go, it's time to enter the palace!"

  Moyan Hua reluctantly let go of her soft body, flashed a gentle and doting smile at her, lifted her steps, and walked towards the Golden Hall.

  "Hmm!"

  Feng Mei Xue took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood and calmed himself down as he walked into the Golden Hall. Thinking about the many officials who were executed yesterday, today's morning court session was likely to be troublesome.

  "The Emperor of Heavenly Strategy has arrived!"

  "The Snow Queen has arrived!"

  Xiao Shunzi had long been waiting respectfully outside the Golden Hall, and upon seeing the two approaching together, he immediately shouted loudly.

  "Here I come!"

  Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard the name of Emperor Tian Ce, and they all knelt down in unison.

  "Long live Your Majesty!"

  "See the princess!"

  The thunderous applause echoed through the Golden Hall, accompanied by the waves of officials bowing down.

  "Ministers, you may dispense with the formalities!"

  The faint and distant voice was filled with a majestic and awe-inspiring aura, making everyone tremble with fear and reverence.

  No one dared to look up at him, they all lowered their heads and waited for his orders.

  Feng Mei Xue looked at the sparse and scattered officials, and couldn't help but glance at Mo Yan Hua. Today, he wasn't wearing a mask, and his domineering and handsome face was filled with coldness and decisiveness, exuding a unique charm that set him apart from others.

  In front of him, he has a natural king's aura, dominating the world and looking down on all living things.

  She rarely saw this side of him, but now that she took a closer look, it was quite charming.

  "Something to report!"

  Mo Yanhua sat on the dragon chair, her eyes scanning the small number of officials with a faint gaze. Most of these people were honest and upright ministers who did not participate in factionalism or private dealings, diligently performing their duties, and were indeed rare talents in the imperial court.

  "I have something to report!"

  Ye Tai Fu held a memorial in his hand and walked out, handing it over.

  "Your Majesty, now that the rebellion has just been put down, many important officials in the court are vacant, and I fear it will lead to further unrest! I hope Your Majesty will take measures as soon as possible!"

  "What measures does the empress have regarding this phenomenon?"

  Mo Yanhua put down the memorial in her hand, pursed her thin lips slightly, and turned to look at Feng Miao Xue, wanting to hear her suggestion.

  The various ministers did not expect that, as of today, Emperor Zhen had already become wise and no longer foolish, yet he was still willing to govern the country with Feng Mian Xue. In their hearts, their assessment of Feng Mian Xue's position rose by several degrees.

  It seems that no matter when, Princess Snow's status has always been very high!

  "As for the hereditary official system of our imperial court today, it is unreasonable. I think we should abandon the hereditary officials and let the talented ones take the lead, so that the empire can maintain its vitality. In addition, while expanding the number of officials, we also need to set up schools to cultivate new talents. At the same time, in various places and cities, we will set up examination systems to select excellent talents and cultivate them."

  Feng Mei Xue glared at him with a bad temper, originally thinking that if he took charge, she would just go through the motions, but unexpectedly, he actually asked for her advice.

  However, she couldn't help but feel a subtle sweetness in her heart about his importance to her.

  "Good! Snow Queen's words make sense!"

  Yè Tàifù greatly praised her, saying that for a daughter of a humble family to have such vision and talent was truly admirable.

  "This is a good suggestion! If we can select other people for official positions, why worry about talent in the court?"

  "That's right, it should be done this way!"

  "Snow Queen is indeed the number one talented woman in the world!"

  "This is the good fortune of our Imperial Court!"

  “……”

  The ministers all discussed and debated, with the majority extremely in favor of Feng Mianxue's proposal. Many of those present were officials from humble backgrounds who had entered the imperial court through opportunities, so they rejected the hereditary system for officials, which only brought benefits and no drawbacks for them.

  Another group of hereditary officials, although reluctant to give up their positions, also did not utter a word. After all, the fact proved that those hereditary officials were the root of the imperial court's troubles.

  Their descendants will have to rely on their own abilities if they want to enter the imperial court as officials.

  "I have another proposal: women can also enter the imperial court as officials, as long as they have talent and learning. Regardless of whether they are men or women, old or young, they will all be pillars of my heavenly dynasty!"

  Phoenix's eyelashes fluttered, sweeping over the misty haze, and she spoke out the female official system that she had long wanted to implement.

  "Whoosh——"

  All the ministers were in an uproar, but after witnessing Feng Mianxue's talent and ability, everyone's opposing words could only be swallowed from their throats, casting their eyes towards Mo Yanhua.

  They thought that Emperor Tiance would not agree to such a policy, as it had been rare for women to hold official positions throughout history. Not to mention the so-called "regulation" that allowed women to enter the imperial court and hold office!

  "As Empress Ai said, let's discuss the specific details later."

  Contrary to everyone's expectations, Mo Yanhua did not show any signs of opposition and instead agreed with Feng Muxue's proposal.

  "As for the vacancies of the court officials, I have already chosen a replacement for each position. Let all the high-ranking officials outside the Proclamation Hall enter!"

  "The grand officials enter the Hall of Proclamation!"

  Xiao Shunzi's sharp and delicate voice accompanied a group of officials wearing brand new court attire as they walked into the grand hall.

  At a glance, this batch of officials is almost all very young people, mostly in their twenties, with each face radiating a vigorous and energetic spirit.

  "We, your subjects, pay our respects to Your Majesty! We also pay our respects to Princess Snow!"

  This batch of young ministers calmly and unhurriedly paid their respects to Mo Yanhua and Feng Mianxue, with a rare sense of stability on their bodies.

  When the other old ministers saw the faces of these young ministers, they all had a sense of familiarity. Finally, they remembered that they were all people who worked alongside those ministers who were beheaded, and suddenly felt enlightened.

  He had a deep sense of fear and dread for Emperor Tian Ce, who had long been prepared, even the beheading of those ministers was a planned thing.

  Every step is well-planned and every move is carefully considered.

  This imperial struggle, he was able to retreat with a complete victory, now it seems, not surprising at all.

  "Get up, everybody!"

  Mo Yanhua saw them, and his cold tone also had a few more warmth. These young officials, many of whom were talents he had cultivated with his own hands, had been arranged by him in various positions in the imperial court before.

  They were in low positions at that time, but happened to be close to those ministers and were extremely familiar with the government affairs they needed to handle.

  Now, this batch of talents who have been hiding for many years finally emerged from the water and walked in front of everyone.

  However, the most attractive one was a man sitting in a wheelchair, slowly coming forward. He didn't kneel down to pay his respects, but just nodded slightly towards the smoke and mist, with a face as smooth as jade. His flowing silver-blue long hair was scattered behind him, with a few strands of broken hair slanting across his smooth forehead, and there was a faint sadness in his eyebrows.

  His silver pupils shone with a dazzling light, his high nose bridge was as beautiful as a poppy flower, and his red lips were as enticing as a temptation. Yet, this handsome man was sitting in a wheelchair, which made people sigh with regret.

  There was an aura of nobility about him that made everyone fall silent at once, and their eyes all fell on him as if by prior agreement.

  Facing the scrutiny and doubts of the crowd, he showed no change in expression, holding a white jade flute that was transparent throughout, seemingly lost in thought, appearing profound and mysterious.

  "Who is he?"

  Feng Mei Xue saw this man who looked refined and elegant, but actually had a cold and ruthless aura about him, and couldn't help but ask.

  "I'm here to introduce him to everyone, he is the new Chancellor of the Tianyao Empire!"

  Mo Yanhua saw him arrive on time, and a rare warmth flashed across his handsome face. The man in front of her had the kind of talent that made people look up to him in awe, and it was not easy to get him out of retirement!

  They had originally agreed on a date, and now the time was just right, neither early nor late.

  Upon hearing Mo Yanhua's words, everyone was stunned in disbelief. Such a young man was actually the head of all officials in the Tianyao Imperial Court.

  What's most important is that he's not even good at governing, I don't know how Your Majesty could have chosen him.

  However, Mo Yanhua did not give them an answer to their doubts. Time will prove everything, and whether his decision was right or wrong will be revealed later.

  "We have another matter to announce: Snow Empress Fengxue is hereby appointed as the Empress, to be revered by all under heaven and to take charge of the imperial harem!"

  Mo Yanhua glanced at Feng Muxue and her clear voice fell slowly, startling everyone.

  But on second thought, apart from Snow Queen Feng Mianxue, who else has the qualifications to become the empress, and in their hearts, they all have no objections to the enthronement.

  "Long live Your Majesty!"

  All ministers and officials said in unison that regarding Feng Zhiyuan's ascension to the throne, it was only natural and the process was unexpectedly smooth.

  Mo Yanhua took out the prepared imperial edict and handed it to Feng Yuxue, along with the phoenix seal, in front of everyone. He personally bestowed them upon her, raised her hand, and together they basked in the glory and honor of a prosperous era.

  Phoenix Snow held the Phoenix Seal, and on her absolutely beautiful face, a smile of invincibility and heroism emerged. Golden light fell upon her body, casting a dazzling glow around her.

  "See Her Majesty the Empress!"

  The officials bowed again and performed a grand ceremony. The scene looked magnificent, and the sound echoed outside the Golden Hall.

  "Fall back!"

  The news of Feng Yuxue ascending to the throne was spread throughout the imperial palace and announced to the world.

  Some people are delighted, while others are worried.

  Inside the Yuzhao Palace, the Empress Dowager, who had just managed to get out of bed with great difficulty, was so furious upon hearing that Feng Mian Xue had become the Empress that her eyes turned black. She took several deep breaths before calming down.

  "Does she think that by becoming empress, she can step on the head of the Ai family?"

  The Empress's pale face was shrouded in dark clouds, looking even more gloomy and frightening.

  "What should I do now, Mother?"

  Duan Ming Gongzhu's face was filled with panic and helplessness, especially when she heard that Feng Mian Xue had become the noble Empress, she became even more uneasy.

  She wanted to leave the imperial palace, but she couldn't bear to give up that power and status. With the throne so close at hand, all she had to do was kill Emperor Tian Ce and she could naturally become the empress.

  But now, Tian Ce Emperor is no longer so easy to deal with.

  "For now, let's just get rid of that blonde girl quickly and cleanly, then think of a way to make it big!"

  The Empress's voice was as sinister as a devil, floating out of her dry lips. In the triangular eyes, a cold light flashed like a poisonous snake.

  "The Empress Dowager said that Jing Er would send someone to summon her to Duanming Palace, and at that time, see how she would die!"

  Princess Duan Ming's slender fingers, with sharp fingernails, slid over the handkerchief in her hand, making a ripping sound.

  "Let Bi Lu get ready to take action and send that old man on his way, lest he has too many dreams tonight!"

  The empress dowager snapped the comb in her hand, her twisted old face unpainted and looking extremely sinister.

  If you go out like this, you will surely scare a lot of people to death.

  "Don't worry, Mother. I've already had Bi Luo tamper with that old man's medicine. He'll be dead within three days, no doubt about it! By then, this palace will still be ruled by us two women!"

  Princess Duanming held a bottle of poisonous wine in her hand, with an eerie smile on her face, like a man-eating flower. Although the surface was beautiful and alluring, her heart was filled with malice.

  "Hahaha!"

  A sinister laugh drifted out of the Yuzhao Palace, causing the guards outside to break out in goosebumps.

  "You go back to the Imperial Palace first, I'll go take a look at Grandma's situation and then head back!"

  After leaving the Golden Hall, Mo Yan Huai looked at Feng Mi Xue's tired appearance with a hint of pity and said tenderly.

  "Why don't I go with you?"

  Feng Mei Xue's soft voice was laced with a hint of sweetness as she asked, her bright eyes fluttering slightly to reveal an enchanting glimmer that made his heart skip a beat.

  "No, you go back and rest!"

  Mo Yan shook his head, saying somewhat helplessly. He absolutely wouldn't tell her that he was afraid of hearing her bathing and had fled to the Cloud Palace, or else he would have lost all face!

  He found himself completely unable to control himself in front of her.

  She usually takes a bath every day when she goes back, washing away her fatigue.

  But at that time, it was his sweetest torment.

  "Alright then!"

  Feng Mei Xue saw that his face was a bit strange, and he didn't insist on following him. He sat on the Feng carriage, with palace maids following behind him, heading towards the Emperor's Palace.

  "Miss, would you like to take a bath?"

  Xue Qing saw Feng Mei Xue return and walked up to ask with concern.

  "Hmm!"

  Feng Mei Xue saw the considerate Xue Ju and nodded slightly, her face showing a few hints of fatigue.

  "Miss, I picked some fresh flower petals for you to take a bath!"

  Liu Li carried a basket, walked in, the basket was filled with clean flower petals, stained with water droplets. From afar, it looked like rolling pearls, dotted on the bright red flower petals.

  Phoenix Snow pushed open the curtain, took off her clothes and walked into the bathtub to take a bath, immersing her body in the colorful pool water, relaxing her tense nerves.

  "Miss is now a noble queen, and the young master is really good to her!"

  Liu Li held a basket full of flower petals and walked to the edge of the pond, scattering the beautiful petals, which floated into a pink satin.

  "Miss and young master are now truly married. From now on, we should change the way we address them. But what's a good way to call them? Mrs.? Or Your Ladyship?"

  Xue Qing brought in a towel and a specially tailored queen's palace attire, saying with some distress through the pearl screen.

  "Hehe, don't call me Mrs., it sounds old-fashioned. You can just call me like before, no need to be so formal!"

  Phoenix dances with snow, letting the divine spring water flow over her skin, the fragrance of flowers lingers on her body, and the air is filled with a delicate scent. Her face reveals a hint of shyness, becoming even more tender in the misty steam.

  "What you said is right, I'm also used to calling her Miss, it's really not habitual to change my mouth!"

  Liu Li's face revealed a sweet smile, and she said happily. After putting down the flower petals, she walked out and stood outside the beaded curtain, waiting for Feng Miao Xue's instructions. She knew that Feng Miao Xue was not used to having someone by her side when taking a bath.

  "Then we'll be calling each other Miss for the rest of our lives, haha!"

  Xue Yan's gentle face also revealed a faint, shallow smile like ripples on water as she saw Feng Mianxue walk out and helped her put on the Phoenix Palace attire.

  A phoenix in flight, vividly flying on the magnificent palace attire, as if about to take off, giving a sense of grandeur.

  Because Feng Mian Xue didn't like too heavy headpieces, she was only wearing a very light and thin golden thousand-feathered phoenix coronet. Beautiful blue gemstones were dotted on the queen's coronet, shining brightly like stars.

  "Your Majesty the Queen, Princess Duanming invites you to come to the Duanming Palace to admire the goldfish!"

  A little palace maid walked up to Feng Yu's face, made a big bow and said respectfully.

  "Oh? Goldfish!"

  Feng Mei Xue heard this and couldn't help but sneer. She had never known that the arrogant and overbearing Princess Duan Ming would have the leisure to appreciate goldfish.

  In her opinion, asking others to feed goldfish is fake, but feeding them herself is true!

  "Is Her Majesty going or not?"

  Xiaogongnv waited for Feng Mi Xue's response and asked somewhat timidly.

  "Since Princess Duanming has invited me with such sincerity, how could I possibly refuse?"

  Feng Mei's face showed no joy or anger, her lips, untouched by rouge, were tender and moist as if about to drip. She slightly parted them, and a clear, spring-like voice flowed out.

  "Miss, that Prince Ming is heartless and ruthless, he must be up to no good, you'd better be careful!"

  Xue Qing whispered in her ear, her gentle face rarely solemn. She was full of worry about Feng Mei Xue's safety.

  "Liuli, go inform Young Master, I'll follow Miss there!"

  "Yes! I'll go inform the young master right away!"

  Liuli hurried out of the Imperial Palace with a heavy heart.

  "Let's go!"

  Feng Mei Xue's soft and gentle voice was as calm as floating clouds, but it made the little palace maid feel a wave of reverence, and she quickly led the way.

  This time she didn't ride in a sedan chair, but walked alongside Xue Qian. Having entered the palace for so long, she hadn't had a good look at its appearance yet, and now was a great opportunity to take in the scenery while walking.

  "Miss, this month's peony is really beautiful!"

  Xue Qing held an umbrella to block the sunlight for Feng Mei Xue. On this sweltering summer day, although there was a cool breeze by the lake, the sun's rays were still harmful to the skin.

  "The scenery here is actually quite good! It seems that Princess Duoming is quite good at choosing places!"

  Phoenix Snow doesn't mind the sun, but instead feels a warm and cozy feeling, shining on her body is quite comfortable. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, trees, and grass, giving her a sense of being in nature.

  The scenery here is even more beautiful than nature itself, with a few more delicate touches.

  The empress's procession moved forward slowly and leisurely, causing the little palace maid who was leading the way to become so anxious that she almost fainted.

  Princess Duan Ming had been waiting by the lake for a long time, her feet were sore from standing, but she still hadn't seen any sign of Feng Mian Xue. The palace maid who delivered the message had already replied that she was on her way, but as the scorching sun made Princess Duan Ming dizzy, the person who said she was on her way never showed up!

  "How dare you make me wait so long! You'll be sorry in a moment!"

  She pinched the poison hidden in her hand, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Her forehead was covered with big sweat, rolling down, making her clothes stick to her back, feeling so uncomfortable that she went crazy directly.

  Just as she was losing all patience, Feng Xue finally appeared, strolling in with a leisurely air.

  "How dare you! You don't even pay respects when seeing Her Majesty the Empress? Are you trying to stage a failed rebellion?"

  Xue Qing saw Duan Ming Gongzhu standing there like a wooden stake, her warm and gentle voice laced with a hint of anger.

  Don't look at Xue Qing's gentle appearance, her personality is also soft, but when she speaks up, her momentum is not inferior to others.

  "How dare you, a lowly maid, give orders to me!"

  Duan Ming Gongzhu's face turned red with rage, she stomped her feet and rushed forward, raising her hand to slap Xue Ze.

  "Bang——"

  A crisp and clear slap, ringing out, made all the palace maids in Tongming Palace almost pop their eyes out. These maids were newly transferred, where had they ever seen such a scene?

  The empress's majestic long sleeve waved, her palm swept across Princess Duanming's face, and with a slap, she slapped her into the lake on the side.

  "Whoosh——"

  High water splashed, and the lotus root struggled in the water. The bottle stopper she brought was also dissolved by the water. She originally planned to secretly kill Feng Xue, taking advantage of her admiring fish, and threw her and the bottle into the water together.

  However, she could never have guessed that Feng Mian Xue would slap her into the water with one palm, and the poisonous powder would spread instantly, killing a large number of goldfish.

  "Oh no—"

  The fear of death made her scream loudly, remembering that aconitine was dissolved in the water, she dared not breathe.

  A suffocating feeling, swelling her lungs painfully.

  The palace maidens wanted to go and save her, but seeing the fish with white bellies jumping up one after another, they were frightened and huddled together.

  "Gurgle... Gurgle..."

  Duan Ming Gongzhu couldn't hold her breath any longer, drank a few mouthfuls of lake water, and her face also turned dark. She stared up at the sky with white eyes, her body trembling with cold, struggled a few times, and then sank into the lake water, never making another sound again.

  Her body sank downwards, but she had not completely lost consciousness.

  She only felt her body being torn apart by sharp teeth, piece by piece, the intense pain reaching deep into her consciousness, stimulating her dying soul.

  She opened her eyes and looked at the poisonous piranhas she had arranged in advance, which were frantically tearing her flesh apart with fear.

  She struggled helplessly underwater with no one saving her.

  After her body was devoured by piranhas, there were only a few pieces of cloth floating on the lake, and not even a single bone was left.

  Seeing a patch of blood red on the water's surface, all the palace maids were completely frightened out of their wits and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

  Feng Mei Xue walked into the pavilion with Xue Zhang, feeling the cool breeze and gazing at the lake's bloody surface. Her expression remained calm and serene, as if nothing had happened.

  "What did you all see?"

  A voice as clear as a spring, like the cold wind of a harsh winter blowing by, made everyone tremble with fear, their teeth chattering.

  "Nothing! I haven't seen anything!"

  A little palace maid hastily shook her head, with a look of horror written all over her face.

  "Your Majesty, have mercy! I saw nothing, really nothing!"

  A group of palace maids knelt down and kept kowtowing to Feng Yuxue, begging for mercy, fearing that she would kill them to silence them.

  "Oh? Since you didn't see anything, why kneel down?"

  Feng Mei Xue's soft and gentle voice was calm and peaceful, making it impossible for others to guess her thoughts.

  "Today, Princess Ming Gong fell into the water and you were unable to rescue her in time, so get up! Only clever people can survive for a long time in the palace!"

  Xue Qing understood her meaning and couldn't help but smile slightly. She walked forward and spoke to a group of palace maids.

  "Got it, we understand!"

  "The Princess Duanming fell into the water, we all saw it!"

  "Yes, I am guilty, unable to arrive in time to rescue the princess!"

  “……。”

  The palace maidens all said in unison, their faces still bearing a hint of lingering fear, as they gazed at the noblewoman in the pavilion, not daring to have any other thoughts in their hearts.

  "All right, I've finished feeding the fish. You all go back to Xiuzhao Palace and tell the Empress Dowager this unfortunate news!"

  Phoenix danced with a long palace dress trailing behind her, the phoenix pattern on it shining with dazzling light in the sunlight.

  Xue Qing followed her, walking out of Duanming Palace at a steady pace.

  On the day that news of Princess Min's death by drowning reached the Xizhao Palace, the Empress Dowager spat up three mouthfuls of blood, rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
