C237 (1/2)

In early September, the weather was clear and the autumn air felt good.

The morning of the capital was covered with a layer of pure white, flawless mist frost, and was so hazy that it could captivate the eyes.

Today was the happy day for Crown Prince to marry Ye Luoli, the crown prince's residence was covered in red silk, and was filled with joy.

Although Ye Luoli was the secondary wife, he still carried the dragon in his possession and was heavily favored by the empress dowager. The empress dowager had ordered the crown prince to give her a grand wedding as compensation.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's Palace was bustling with noise and excitement today.

At noon, Dongfang Chen personally led the group as he carried the palanquin all the way from the palace to the crown prince's mansion, his face filled with a happy smile.

In contrast to the bustling atmosphere in the crown prince's residence, the Tai Bei Manor seemed desolate and desolate. All of the maidservant were cautious in their words and deeds, afraid of disturbing the master of the Xuanjing Garden.

”Miss, Crown Prince is really going too far. As the main wife, you haven't even passed the door yet and you want to marry a side wife and enter the sect so openly? Isn't this just slapping Miss's face?”

Hearing the lively atmosphere outside the residence, Cui He said angrily, her delicate face puckered up, she was even more anxious than Shangguan Jingyan.

”Talking about the Crown Prince is a capital offense, don't try to be quick about it. ”Alright, I've basked enough today, help me back to my room!”

Lying on the imperial concubine's rattan chair, Shangguan Jingyan lazily opened his autumn colored eyes and slowly stretched as he ordered Cui He in a low voice.

Face-smacking?

She didn't think so.

These days, she suddenly recalled what she had done all these years. There was not a single thing that had happened for herself. It had all been for the crown prince that was revered by tens of thousands of people.

When she was five years old, Dongfang Hao took Dongfang Chen to the Tai Bei Manor to play. She had initially wanted to scare them off by hiding on the fake mountain, but then she slipped and fell. But in that moment of life and death, Dongfang Chen saved her.

She looked at Dongfang Chen who seemed to be meticulously carving a porcelain doll, and was extremely beautiful.

At that time, she was thinking that if she was able to marry him, she would definitely be extremely happy.

From then on, she knew that he was the crown prince of Dongjun Kingdom, the future emperor. She worked even harder to make herself more outstanding and qualified to look down upon the world with him.

The Heavens did not disappoint those who followed her. When she sat on the seat of the number one genius in capital, she would be able to make him glance at her with one eye.

But the good news did not last long. Never in her dreams did she expect that the ugly and saltless woman from Prime Minister's Estate would actually cause a storm in the capital and attract Dongfang Chen's attention.

She tried her best to get on good terms with him, hoping that he would let her go and take pity on her love for him for more than a decade.

Then, she didn't expect that although Bai Zhixi didn't like the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince actually fell in love with him.

She had thought about Bai Zhiru, or the two sisters from the Situ Family, but she didn't think that it would be Bai Zhixi.

Fortunately, the heavens had treated her well. Bai Zhixi had already disappeared into the Forest of Death, so she still had a chance.

So what if he was pregnant with a bastard child? So what if Ye Luoli was in the door earlier than her?

She would definitely let Dongfang Chen marry her and bring her into the crown prince's mansion.

Ye Luoli was just a stepping stone. She would let her know what it was like to go from being a phoenix on high to a useless jailer.

After the ignorant Cui He took care of Shangguan Jingyan, she quietly left in a hurry towards the courtyard that Grand Commandant Shangguan lived in.

But after she left, Shangguan Jingyan who was sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed suddenly sat up, he coldly glanced at the locked door, and changed into a set of clothes that could not be considered gorgeous, she gently turned the dresser, and a pitch black secret passage appeared in front of her.

She swept a cold glance around the room, then leapt up and disappeared into the secret passage.

In the dark and gloomy secret passage, a few clusters of candlelight were swaying in the cold wind, as if they were only willing to break the candlelight.

Shangguan Jingyan nimbly passed through the layers of mechanisms and stopped in front of the stone door that was covered with dust.

Suddenly, she took off the hairpin from her head and pierced it into the lion's eye carved on the stone door. ”Boom!” The stone door slowly opened. A dazzling golden light shot out and she uncomfortably stretched out her hands to block the light.

”Greetings, Young Lord!”

In front of her were five or six young girls in black clothing kneeling on the ground. Their faces revealed looks of reverence as they exuded a strong and well-trained aura.

After Shangguan Jingyan entered, the stone door automatically fell, isolating itself from everything outside.

”You know, that's how it is?”

Shangguan Jingyan had already changed into an ice-cold face, and asked the woman in black behind him as he walked forward.

”Young master, the experiment was very successful. The elders of each sect are only waiting for you to examine and verify the results.”

Junzi's dark face lit up, and his words were filled with a strong sense of pride.

If the young master knew that the experiment would be so successful, he would definitely be very happy.

They were speechless along the way, but there were many guards who tightly sealed the secret passage. The further in they went, the more concentrated the guards were.

In the end, Shangguan Jingyan stopped in front of a stone door that looked like a cage.
