Chapter 481 Something Unusual
Gu Bingyan had long heard of Lin San's eloquence and cunning. Seeing Lin San's sinister smile, he instantly calmed down. He snorted and said coldly, "Lord Lin, your arrival is timely. Do you recognize General Xu Zhen, the commander of the city's defense? He trespassed into the royal mansion and even broke into the inner residence. I suspect he has ulterior motives and was about to send him to the Ministry of War for investigation."

Chapter 480 Breaking into the Royal Mansion
The origin of the fire was the royal mansion’s firewood storage. Gao Qiu had even added some gunpowder to fuel the flames. Once ignited, the fire blazed fiercely, lighting up half of the sky with its intense glow. Chaos reigned within the royal mansion, as countless maids and servants frantically rushed towards the source of the fire with buckets and basins of water in hand.
Xu Zhen led thousands of soldiers, smashing ...

Chapter 479 A Love Letter to Sister An
"Of course it's true," Xian'er purred, pleased with herself. "Husband, you may not know this, but my master has specially prepared hundreds of love bugs for this matchmaking. She told me herself, every man she takes a liking to will receive one. That way, they will be forever loyal to her, never betraying her."
"Hundreds of love bugs?" Lin Wanrong inhaled sharply, fuming. "So you're telling me, Sister An is preparing to selec...

Kishiar's gaze landed on a square fully prepared for an elaborate welcome ceremony. Yuder's eyes widened at the sight of a raised platform towering above the neatly seated dignitaries and the two people sitting there.
For several years now, in events requiring the Emperor's presence, the Empress had typically represented him alongside Crown Prince Katchian. However, Katchian was nowhere to be seen on the highest platform of today's square. Instead, occ...

The members eagerly placed bets as they watched two identically appearing individuals compete against each other for the first time since joining the ranks. The buoyant atmosphere persisted even after Kishiar made his appearance.
"It's good to see everyone in good health."

"It's all clearly because of Nahan."

"Husband, what task are you sending Gao Qiu off for? It seems like a significant matter; can he handle it alone?" Qin Xian'er asked, puzzled as she watched Gao Qiu move swiftly, agile as a civet, disappearing like a wisp of smoke into the distance.
"He's off to commit a bit of thievery; there's no need for a crowd," Lin Wanrong chuckled, looking pleased. "Brother Gao is highly skilled in martial arts and smart to boot. He's the...

"Thinking of taking a walk in the garden—eh, Eldest Miss, is that you?" Lin Wanrong looked up and saw Xiao Yuruo standing quietly in front of him. She was dressed in a goose-yellow gown, her slender waist reminiscent of young willows in early spring. Her curvaceous figure traced an enchanting curve.
Eldest Miss Xiao looked gently at him, her willow-like eyebrows slightly arched, radiantly beautiful. Her long eyelashes flic...

The vigilance towards Hosanna had naturally slackened a bit, as he remained unconscious for an extended period. Normally, there would've been a guard physically tied to his wrist, but today a long tether connected his wrist to a post outside the tent.

Yes, it was a translation written in Kishiar La Orr's own handwriting.

This lesson is learned from my own experience—look, I got hit by an explosive without any warning at all. The effect was, ah, exceptionally good." He cle...

The bathroom they had been using was a lavish space, almost mistaken for an art-filled lounge if not for the large, white tub in the center and the mirror that hung before it.

The moment a small piece of cloth fell to the floor, the flickering emotions in Yuder's eyes revealed themselves as dark as pitch but remarkably clear.
