Chapter 41

The Emperor personally appointed Consort Xiang to preside over the funeral rites and temporarily manage the affairs of the six palaces. Consort Xiang had no choice but to entrust the safety of Princess Cheng Ying, who was recovering from her illness, entirely to Yue Wangshu. Knowing there was little she could do to help, Yue Wangshu spent her days mourning at the Fengyi Palace or keeping Princess Cheng Ying company.

"Comrades, do not hesitate any longer! How radiant is the heart of Magistrate Cao! How upright and open is his intention!" Seeing the shifting expressions of the crowd, Minister He, prompted by a knowing look from Cao Jin, served as the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Apricot Blossom Courtyard was half the size of the Zheng manor. The side courtyard was located on the side near Jingfeng Courtyard, far from Zheng Huanjie’s main living quarters, so conversations held there could not be overheard by those on the other side.

The task was, of course, completed by Tang Rou for Chen Guo; Chen Guo was too embarrassed to take credit for Tang Rou’s work.

Their mission this time was to deal with the invaders. In the galaxy closest to Earth, there was still one God-Chosen remaining.

Those swine were so pampered that they would not suffer even the slightest harm, allowing the illusion to remain effective indefinitely.

Seeing that Lin Dayong no longer insisted, Bai Yumo nodded and quickened her pace toward the direction where the two had previously set their traps.

He did not throw an ordinary stone, but a magnet with strong magnetic properties, used to probe the mechanism.

I fear I will no longer be able to go out as I please, but if I don't go out, the supplies will eventually run out one day.

Xu Changle, having snapped out of it, ignored what had just happened, turned, grabbed Yang Zijian, and sprinted toward the exit.

Ignoring the stunned expression on A'Bo's face, Rossi watched the scene with anticipation, eyes fixed on the slowly extending arm and the pale red sleeve that looked as though it had faded with time.

She could accept that the diagnosis of the "red beneath the body" was correct, but she refused to believe the physician hadn't been bribed by Su Jingchu when he claimed the Princess of Prince Duan had indeed suffered a miscarriage.

Seeing Rossi sitting on the sofa, eating his breakfast in a leisurely manner, Jiang Jing asked with a hint of confusion.

After all, Claire had sufficient confidence; as long as he was given time, even if he were at the bottom now, with enough time, becoming the most powerful baron in the entire kingdom would be no problem.

Suddenly, a black Bludger shot out from a direction hidden from Harry Potter's line of sight. Having been hit by a Bludger before, Rossi naturally knew that with the weight of the ball, if he were hit squarely, he would certainly suffer for it.

He said his ideal was to transcend the legendary Grim Reaper. I laughed while eating the pastries he brought and asked, "How do you transcend the Grim Reaper? Can you eat the Grim Reaper, perhaps?"

The fat man’s skin was very dark—not a pitch-black, but a dark reddish-brown hue, like someone who had been exposed to the scorching sun for many years.

Moreover, the purpose of this batch of grain was not merely to stabilize the territory; it was the foundation for expanding the strength of his domain.

Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn and about to clash on the streets of New York, an unexpected turn of events occurred. The magnitude of this change was so great that it dropped the jaws of everyone present.

"This time, you were the one who initiated it," a voice filled with restraint whispered into Su Liyue’s ear.

Yang Lin pursed his lips, ignored it, and found a relatively clean spot to sit down. After a quarter of an hour had passed in this manner, the other teams began to arrive one after another to assemble.

"Heh, so because you haven't been there or heard of it, you call it fake? Well, nobody has ever said the people of the Shaohao clan are pigs, so does that mean that's fake too?" Lu Lin continued to retort to the homeroom teacher.

Arriving at Mount Yuelang, Lu Lin and Ye Sizhu were immediately reminded of what had happened just that afternoon—Ye Sizhu had been startled by a sudden snake and lost her footing, falling toward a deep ravine. Fortunately, Lu Lin had discovered it a step earlier and acted quickly, saving her life.

"Fine." Fei Ruimin did not mince words and immediately agreed. Although he was forty-four and his physique had lost its edge—sporting a beer belly—he was a veteran who had transferred from the armed police. He still maintained the swift and resolute habits of the military, unlike Yu Chen, who had been spoiled by Yuan Youchong and become somewhat troublesome.

Lily waited until the other party had left before she could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Regardless of everything recently, they had indeed been far too arrogant. If they could have taught them a good lesson earlier, it would have been for the best.

At this moment, the wolves nearby also sensed something was wrong and immediately lunged at Lu Lin. Using his momentum, Lu Lin executed his most proficient Lu-style martial arts: he flipped over, landed on his right foot, and performed a 360-degree spin with his left, kicking aside the circle of wolves closest to them.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Wang Yuetian channeled his internal energy, swung his right hand sharply, and severed the head of the still-unconscious Hu Chonghai! Poor Hu Chonghai had his life taken while he was still in a coma.

After playing around, Lu Lin urged Tu Shanling to go back early. Tu Shanling, as obedient as ever, walked out, but when she reached the entrance of the Grand Forest, she suddenly had a whim and stopped by the pillar.

No one noticed that Mo Qiu remained composed, his lips curling into a smile that was not quite a smile.

It took the Yi Meng Alliance two days to reach the western foothills of the East Cang Mountains. Along the way, they encountered several inspections by the Yinzhou state guards, but with the four young masters and the young City Lord Feng stepping forward, they were able to pass through without much delay.

However, no matter how much he struggled for a long time, he could not break free from Ruan Meng’s grip. This struggle only left him sweating profusely, his face contorted.

He awkwardly withdrew his hand, scratched his hair, gave Ruan Meng a sheepish grin, and walked up to her.

"Sir, the situation is truly becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Ji Shinian has not sought me out for a long time, and Lu Lian is also becoming harder to manage. He intends to specifically reveal to Ji Yanmo that most of the Huo family's assets are in his hands!" Cao Tianyou said respectfully from the other end.

When she saw that the person who had arrived was Jun Wuji, she moved her gaze from his face to the more eye-catching area below.

"Something up?" Ji Xinliang did not look back, a calculating, mischievous smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she lowered her head to continue organizing her files.

Li Yifu leisurely raised his index finger. The head constable understood and let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing that this gentleman intended to have them locked up for only a day or two before releasing them, it happened to align with their own wishes; holding so many people in custody was truly inconvenient.

Lin Nuannuan sighed. Having been raised under such a mother and concubine, and still managing to get Su Musheng to scheme for her, how could Su Yinyin be the naive girl she once thought?

At this moment, the axe became even more crimson, with thin, blood-colored patterns appearing on it, looking exactly like blood vessels.
