Incurable Chapter 68 She Has Talent (2)

The Whole World Once everything was ready, Liu Anzhi changed costumes. Even dressed in coarse cloth with her hair braided, the little girl still somehow looked fresh and ethereal. She listened carefully to her mother’s instructions. The moment the director called action, her expression immediately changed. Tears instantly gathered in her eyes. The sight of such a tiny child looking on the verge of tears made everyone around them suck in a breath. Even Mu Wan froze for a moment. “Mother~” Liu Anzhi called. Mu Wan came back to herself and immediately entered character. Mother and daughter completed the entire scene in a single take. The instant they finished, the director called cut. Liu Anzhi immediately transformed from the obedient, sensible little girl in the scene back into a child who loved acting spoiled. Tears still clung to her eyelashes. Yet she was already smiling. Her eyes were crystal clear inside their reddened rims. She stretched out both arms. “Mommy, carry me.” It was he...

Incurable Chapter 60 A Bouquet of Stars (1)

From Their Wedding Night to Winter The wedding had kept them busy for the entire day. It was not until the evening banquet finally ended that Mu Wan was able to take off her ceremonial clothes. She lay on the bed in the bridal chamber, which had been decorated everywhere in bright red. Red filled her entire field of vision. Mu Wan tilted her head and looked toward Liu Qianxiu beside her. He was lying next to her. After an entire day filled with noise and celebration, everything had finally become quiet. His eyes were slightly closed. His lashes were long and curled, the outer corners of his eyes faintly upturned. Beneath his high, straight nose were thin, reddish lips, while the contours of his face were deep and striking. His neck tilted slightly upward, revealing the prominent line of his Adam's apple beneath the light. It looked unexpectedly sensual. Mu Wan shifted. Liu Qianxiu opened his eyes. The light reflected in his dark pupils like a crescent moon reflected in the center o...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 630

~   Staged Accident  ~ The ship continued steadily northward. Just as it was nearing the capital, it suddenly lurched violently. Inside the cabin, Mu Yunyao was making tea. The sudden jolt knocked over the small brazier, sending burning charcoal onto the carpet. Smoke and ash quickly filled the air. Fortunately, Yue Wang had been keeping watch beside her. Seeing the situation turn dangerous, he pulled Mu Yunyao into his arms without hesitation. Once the ship steadied a little, he quickly doused the fallen coals with water. “Yao’er, are you all right?” The back of Mu Yunyao’s hand had been splashed and reddened by hot water. It stung sharply. “I’m fine. What happened?” They were close to the capital, the weather was calm, and the river was wide and steady—how could the ship have rocked so violently? Yu Heng knocked on the door. “Master, our ship collided with the vessel escorting the Beijiang Princess to the capital. Their ship has been damaged and can no longer continue. Beiji...

~ What If She Does  Something  Rash? ~ Mu Yunyao’s heart trembled. She took the envelope and the jade pendant, took a deep breath, and broke the seal with care. Standing beside her, Yue Wang read along. His eyes narrowed suddenly as he read the letter. In the letter, Mu Cheng described his investigation into Xu Yanhan’s past. It was clear he had already uncovered crucial clues, but he died before he could confirm them. But there was something even more important. Mu Cheng revealed that he was born into the Mu family, once one of the Six Great Clans. He was a concubine’s son. His birth mother had been framed within the inner household and sent away to a remote estate. Later, when the great clans were purged, he and his mother narrowly escaped. When she fell gravely ill, he was taken in by the Su family and eventually arranged to remain at Su Qing’s side. After finishing the letter, Mu Yunyao pressed her lips together. No wonder she had always felt her father was different from...

~ Mu Cheng’s Keepsakes ~ After hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, Auntie Yang nodded again and again. Once the excitement in her chest finally calmed a little, embarrassment crept in. Mu Yunyao was no longer that frail little girl with injuries on her head and a thin, fragile frame. She had grown into a graceful young lady, beautiful and poised, with an unmistakably noble air. Standing in front of her now, Auntie Yang could not help feeling shabby by comparison. “Yunyao, I…” Auntie Yang’s face reddened, her hands and feet suddenly unsure where to go. Mu Yunyao did not let go of her hand. “Mother often thinks of you. If she knew you were living well, she would be truly happy.” Auntie Yang’s eyes warmed. “To be honest, it’s all thanks to you. After learning the embroidery techniques you taught me, I kept studying with all my heart. At first, I could only embroider simple silk handkerchiefs. Later, as I learned more patterns and my skills improved, I gradually began making clothes for oth...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 627

~ Hidden Struggles Turn into Open Conflict ~   On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Little New Year arrived. The Beijiang envoys entered the palace to meet His Majesty and, in their words, hinted at a desire for a marriage alliance. His Majesty did not respond directly. He only said the matter could be discussed later. With outsiders present at the banquet, the princes behaved themselves for once. No one openly fought, no one blatantly tore at another’s throat. But the Beijiang envoys were clearly displeased with His Royal Highness Yu Wang. They provoked him more than once, only to be brushed aside with calm, unhurried retorts that stung without drawing blood. After the banquet, His Majesty was preparing to rest when Noble Consort Qi brought two boxes of account books to the imperial study. She reported that the Imperial Household Department’s ledgers were wrong and that someone had been secretly embezzling silver. Over the past seven or eight years, the amount had alr...

~ A Blunt Knife Can Still Kill ~ The two of them boarded the boat and drifted downriver. It would not take long to reach Yan City. If they kept to the schedule, there was plenty of time for a round trip, so neither of them felt rushed. Mu Yunyao handed a teacup to Yue Wang, then lowered her gaze to the brazier’s glowing coals. Her expression turned strangely unreadable. “Fourth Master, what do you think the situation in the capital looks like right now?” She chose this time to return to Xiayan Village to pay her respects to her father. It had been planned, yes, but it also carried the intention of avoiding the turmoil in the capital. Since she and Yue Wang had already decided not to get involved, they might as well avoid it completely so that no one could twist their absence into something else. Yue Wang’s lips held a faint smile. “Don’t worry. Second Imperial Brother can handle it. Besides, there’s Imperial Father and Imperial Aunt. The capital won’t truly fall into chaos.” Mu Yunyao ...

~  Thick Skin, Black Heart  ~ The carriage rolled steadily out of the capital. Poisonous Lady finished fussing with the brazier, replaced the charcoal in Mu Yunyao’s hand warmer, then finally sat down and let out a long breath. “Yunyao, why did you suddenly decide to go back to Xiayan Village?” Mu Yunyao shifted the warmer in her hands and shook her head slightly. “It wasn’t sudden. When we left, my father had only just passed. The year after that, we were far away in Jingling City, and nothing had settled yet. I didn’t feel safe going back. The second year, we returned to the capital, but the Su family persecuted Mother and me again and again. I couldn’t leave her behind and go alone, so it was delayed. This year, Mother and I are back by Grandmother’s side, and Father’s cause of death has been investigated clearly. Everything has finally come to rest. Also, I’m about to leave my mourning period, so I should properly pay my respects.” She had lived through too much. Her fathe...

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 624

~  His Royal Highness Yue Wang Was Unhappy  ~ “Jin Wang Residence?” Poisonous Lady clicked her tongue in admiration. “Looks like Jin Wang’s scheme worked. I’ve got to hand it to him. His eyes have been healed for ages, yet he still keeps acting as if nothing had changed. And those legs, too. He might not be able to walk, but he hasn’t completely lost feeling either. Still, he gritted his teeth and knelt in the snow and ice for more than ten days. That kind of ruthlessness is honestly impressive.” “Yes.” Mu Yun Yao’s lips curved faintly. “He’s vicious to others, and just as vicious to himself. To climb back up, he really did wager everything… It’s just a pity…” A pity that she existed. Poisonous Lady scooted closer, eyes glittering with curiosity. “Yao’er, you hate that Jin Wang so much. Did he wrong you in your previous life?” Mu Yunyao’s heart stirred. Then she calmly lifted her hand and pushed Poisonous Lady’s forehead, shoving her back into her seat with a half-laugh. “Yeah...

~  A Special “Whitewashing” Technique  ~ Mu Yunyao nodded and followed Eldest Princess Yide into the carriage. Inside the Third Prince’s residence, the Emperor arrived with his entourage. The moment he stepped in, he saw plum blossoms blooming everywhere. Tree after tree stood crowned with flowers despite the brutal cold. The petals were nearly frozen transparent, delicate veins clearly visible, beautiful to an almost unreal degree. Mu Yunyao followed Eldest Princess Yide out of the carriage and into the courtyard. At a glance, she spotted Third Prince Ning Junjin kneeling beside the lotus pond. He wore only a thin, plain white robe. A white jade crown bound his hair; black hair and white clothes made him look even more fragile amid the wintry chill. His hands were clasped together, lips moving silently as though reciting a prayer. When Mu Yunyao and Eldest Princess Yide drew closer, she saw how pale he was. No one knew how long he had been kneeling. Even his eyelashes and bro...

~  Qi Ming Pledges Himself to Jin Wang  ~ Qi Ming knelt on the ground, his face full of panic and unease. “Your Highness… I’ve always been in trade. I managed Yi Bao Xuan for the Li family and His Royal Highness Ling Wang. But some time ago, I failed my duties and offended His Royal Highness. After that, His Royal Highness even began to suspect I had ulterior motives. He detained my family… and he even killed my wife.” “For the sake of my only remaining child, I had no choice but to resist.” “Failed your duties?” Jin Wang studied him, weighing every word for truth. “What exactly do you mean?” Qi Ming’s throat tightened. “Before… in Linjiang City, His Royal Highness ordered me to intercept the boats transporting tax silver. I failed to stop them.” “After that, he ordered me to recover the tax silver that sank to the riverbed. But because of His Royal Highness Yu Wang and Yue Wang, I still couldn’t find it. That’s why His Royal Highness was completely disappointed in me.” Jin Wa...

~ Qi Ming Slips Away ~  Inside Ling Wang’s residence, the atmosphere was heavy enough to suffocate. Ling Wang sat in a chair, his expression dark, his gaze sharp as he scrutinized the man kneeling before him. “Qi Ming. Do you have nothing to confess to this Wang?” Qi Ming’s face was deathly pale. Cold sweat dotted his forehead. After a long, choking silence, he slammed his head to the ground. “This servant deserves ten thousand deaths. Please punish me, Your Royal Highness.” Ling Wang’s eyes softened for only a breath, then turned even colder. “I truly didn’t expect you to be a nail the Third Prince planted at my side. Over these years, you must have helped Jin Wang obtain quite a bit of information, hm?” “Your Royal Highness,” Qi Ming pleaded, voice trembling, “I am loyal to you with my whole life. From the moment I acknowledged you as my Master, I never dared harbor a second heart. Besides, the Third Prince tried to silence me back then. I hated him to the bone. How could I ever ...
