Chapter 144 Disclosure of the Plot

Shangguan Yi wanted to meet Qin Baochuan, and that was precisely the aim of Qin Yunuan. Qin Baochuan had already been taken previously into the imperial palace secretly. It was the big wedding day of Qin Family today, and Qin Zhi focused more on fame, so those concubines and their daughter of the Mansion of Grand Commandant had no chance to attend the wedding feast. If Qin Baochuan had not left Qin Family, he would have been under a house arrest like Qin Yuwan and Concubine Liu.

When Qin Baochuan stepped down stably from the steps, Shangguan Yi got excited again that he had not only a granddaughter but also a grandson.

“I am Baochuan. Nice to meet you.” Shangguan Yi felt dense kinship when he saw the sensible and decent Qin Baochuan.

“OK, get up first. Let me have a look at you.” Shangguan Yi held the curtsying Qin Baochuan with much love and gentleness. Having seen this scene, Qin Yunuan just ordered Leng Wu and Maner to ensure nobody was coming closer, and then she went downstairs secretly, leaving a private time for the two people who hadn’t met for a long time.

Walking slowly along with lotus pond, Qin Yunuan massaged her aching shoulder and cheek. The feast went on for half a day, and now it was at dusk. The uneven jacinth clouds in the west were like a multiple-layer gauze.

Unconsciously, she walked into a tranquil place. A kind of lightly stink smell of coppers spread in the air. Qin Yunuan had a sensitive smell better than others, so she quickly caught the smell with dangerous signals.

She stopped, and then Leng Shuang, who was protecting her in the house beam, jumped suddenly.

“Is there any problem here?” Qin Yunuan dared not make noise and just asked by her eyes.

Leng Shuang nodded and had a check around. Suddenly, her ears moved, and she found something. She pulled QinYunuan and hid behind the rockery. Immediately, a few people came from corner gate. The leader was a man who wore a black mask with powerful arms. The leader could subdue a man who was struggling by one hand.

The man was unkempt with clotted blood in his face. Qin Yunuan could not clearly see the face of the man, but she could estimate that the man was a rich young master, judging by his tall body and luxurious clothes.

And behind them, it was Liu Bao, the closely trusted follower of Sima Ray. His eyes were so gloomy, which expressed a kind of indifference and heartlessness in the imperial palace.

“How dare you do incest with your sister! Though my master dislikes that woman, she has become the wife of my master. You have no right to covet her.” Liu Bao said in an evident and eunuch-like tone, which sounded very malicious.

Now Qin Yunuan knew who the man was just by the words of Liu Bao.

“My dear young master of Qin Family, do you know how I will treat you? Do you know why it is I that dispose of you? Because I have full of experience with disposing of many people for my master Sima Ray. Give up escaping.” Liu Bao said with his very gloomy eyes, as threatening was the hell.

As expected, Sima Ray did many hateful things. Qin Yunuan was pondering, and then she turned back and found Leng Shuang was looking at her with the eyes of inquiry. Leng Shuang was asking if Qin Yunuan should save Qin Linfeng because he was from Qin Family.

Qin Yunuan closed her eyes and shook her head. Qin Yunuan would not let Qin Linfeng alive for longer, even if Sima Ray let him off.

Now Qin Linfeng was in a half daze. He was thrown onto the wet dirt near the pond, and his arms were dislocated, which was very uncollected.

“My respected eunuch, please report to Third Prince that all are misunderstandings.” Qin Linfeng tried his best to say. In his heart, the only belief was to stay alive. He should revenge for his mother by Sima Ray, and he must beat Qin Yunuan down heavily and tortured her.

“Misunderstanding? The young master from Qin Family, prince won’t meet you. You’d better beg to me to let you die without much pain.” Liu Bao said. And then a person in red from the corner gate suddenly came in a flash, who was very moony with her long hair hanging down to her waist. The person rushed along with the path near the pond, and then speeded up when she saw the lying Qin Linfeng. Suddenly she felt down on the flagging by treading her skirt’s hemline, where was exactly in front of the rockery Qin Yunuan was hiding behind.

Qin Yunuan could saw the person clearly.

“Yunzhuang!” Qin Linfeng shouted.

“Brother. Eunuch Liu, please, let my brother off,” Qin Yunzhuang had got her makeup in a mess and seemed to shed bloody tears with heavy rouge, which was so threatening and disgusting, “I will explain to the prince, and he must believe me. My brother and I are innocent. And the informer must aim to break the relationship between the prince and me, Qin Family and the empress.”

Qin Yunzhuang was always so confident. She still believed that Sima Ray had some affection with her, and the party centered on the empress must rely on Qin Family.

“Too stupid.” Qin Yunuan looked at the scene silently and sighed in her heart.

“Silly woman, how dare you come here.” Qin Yunzhuang was shuddered by Sima Ray at corner gate suddenly. She could not forget the scene happening in the bridal chamber just now. The time of the wedding feast and entering the bridal chamber was dainty very much. Different from the morning escorting and evening bridal chamber entrance among folk people, the time of wedding feast and entering the bridal chamber in Royal Family was calculated in advance by officials in the Imperial Board of Astronomy according to the auspicious calendar. But just now, Sima Ray was so indifferent and was about to leave the bridal chamber where he and Qin Yunzhuang stayed together when the auspicious time came.

“Prince,” Qin Yunzhuang did not keep the elegance and raised her veil, exposing her beautiful face, “Where are you going?”

“Go a place without you.” Sima Ray said in a cold voice, without any affection.

“Prince, people from the Imperial Board of Astronomy and the Chores Department are waiting outside.” Qin Yunzhuang had never thought she would beg a man menially to see her since she had many pursuers and lovers before.

“OK? Really?” Sima Ray turned back slowly with his face turning sneering from coldness, “In this case, I have no idea.”

Qin Yunzhuang lowered her head and bluffed like a shy girl. Suddenly her neck was pinched heavily by a big hand, and then she was pushed on the wall.

“P...prince.” Qin Yunzhuang looked at the bloody-eyed Sima Ray with scary eyes. She noticed the prisoner-like wildness and craziness of Sima Ray. Five blood stains emerged on her white neck, and the feeling of suffocating reminded Qin Yunzhuang of the fact that it was totally fake that Sima Ray was elegant and humble in daily time.

“No, prince, uh!” With the heavy and light strength of Sima Ray, Qin Yunzhuang could shout sometimes but then breathe heavily. Sima Ray glanced at the outside. He knew that people from Chores Department were now recording.

“No? Do you like this? Right? Now you are happy?” Sima Ray said with an indescribably scary face. He still pinched her neck heavily, and now Qin Yunzhuang was like a canary held casually by a man, beautiful but unfree.

Suddenly, Sima Ray felt a kind of weird smell, which made the bloody-eyed him feel spellbound. Impossible! He did not like the woman in front of him and would not pay much attention to her. At this moment, it was so strange for him to have such an erotic feeling.

He came closer to smell clear. As expected, the smell came from the rouge on the face of Qin Yunzhuang.

“Silly woman, what’s that on your face?” Sima Ray threw Qin Yunzhuang to the bed heavily, glaring at her. He pinched her face and scraped the rough to have a smell, and then he frowned more, “Hehuan Powder? Humph, the maiden from Qin Family even did such malicious trick of smearing the dirty medicine onto the face. It seems that you have made preparation ahead of time and knew I would ignore you. What a pity. I hate silly woman, and further, the conceited woman like you.”

Hehuan Powder? Such a familiar name. Qin Yunzhuang suddenly understood that Qin Yunuan had said in Qin Family that the medicine was used by Qin Yunzhuang to hurt Qin Yunuan, but today...

“Grand Sister, I will send you a big present at your wedding feast.”

The words seemed to be said just now. Qin Yunzhuang thought that Qin Yunuan was definitely a tough role. No, Qin Yunuan was always a hard girl to tackle. The one who was always so innocent was Qin Yunzhuang herself.

“Prince, I can explain it to you. I was framed. It’s my third sister. She envied I married you, so....” Qin Yunzhuang tried to prove herself clear. She used such dirt medicine on the wedding night so evidently. She thought Sima Ray would think very lightly of her.

But what she did not know was that Sima Ray had never had affection for her. When Qin Yunzhuang talked about Qin Yunuan, Sima Ray got touched a little in his heart.

“You have no right to talk about her name!” Sima Ray slapped her heavily again. This silly woman could not compare with Qin Yunuan.

“Prince,” Qin Yunzhuang cried, “I am your wife and your imperial prince concubine.”

“So what?” Sima Ray raised his eyebrows, and then suddenly knocked the east part of the bedding room, an ordinary landscape painting. A secret door opened, and there stood the bonded Qin Linfeng. Sima Ray loosened his clothes and asked Liu Bao to come in. He looked at Qin Yunzhuang and Qin Linfeng and then said in a cold voice, “Serve the young master of Qin Family well. He is the kin brother of my imperial prince concubine, who fell in love with his sister.”
