Oh God.
Jun Xiqing gasped, she was completely bewildered. She could totally imagine what kind of bloodbath actually happened in this great palace 23 years ago.
To think that the Queen had left, the Crown Prince had disappeared and Country A was unstable, with power being divided among the Dukes. What kind of chaotic mess was that? It was unthinkable.
âI wonder... what the Queen was like?â Jun Xiqing murmured.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Among all the older generation of females she had heard of, Madam Xuanji had left a lasting memory in her heart.
Madam Xuanji was talented and charming.
But now, the Queen appeared and seeing Murong Ling saying such few words, she could already tell that the Queen and Madam Xuanji were totally different types of people.
The Queen sparked an interest she couldnât ignore.
With the mention of the Queen, Murong Ling instantly behaved secretively. He lowered his voice and whispered, âQingqing, have you heard of... Ah Jiaoâs Room?â
Ah Jiaoâs Room?
Of course she had, that was the place where rich and affluent men would spend all their money on certain services!
Sister Lingxue was once the most popular hostess there, she even had the chance to meet Lady Mei there. Be it Sister Lingxue or Lady Mei, women who were trained in Ah Jiaoâs Room were all practically walking aphrodisiacs, men would be totally mesmerized and fall head over heels for them.
It wouldnât be an understatement to say that all women in Ah Jiaoâs Room were like that.
âOf course!â Jun Xiqing nodded her head vehemently.
âHa.â Murong Ling laughed. âIt only took Ah Jiaoâs Room this many years to make its name known. It satisfied the desires of men and became a legend.â
âBut what does the Ah Jiaoâs Room have to do with the Queen? Could it be that...â Jun Xiqing had an outrageous thought in her mind.
Murong Ling nodded. âAh Jiaoâs Room was founded by the Queen.â
Jun Xiqingâs pupils dilated.
âThirty years ago, a beauty appeared out of nowhere. It was said that once she appeared, she would leave a lasting fragrance and even butterflies would fly over. She went around barefoot, with a tiny bell hung around her ankle and with lustrous eyes, one just couldnât their eyes off of her.
âAs long as men saw her, they would be bewitched. Men finally found out that she was from Ah Jiaoâs Room and only after that Ah Jiaoâs Room was made known quickly...
âA beauty like her would naturally invite the jealousy of other women. As compared to the chaste Holy Lady, she was a devious woman.â
So the Queen had been known as a âdevious womanâ! Jun Xiqing could totally understand it, Lu Yeming had such good looks and was handsome at every angle, other than the pair of almond-shaped eyes that he had inherited from Murong Jiancheng, he didnât really resemble Murong Jiancheng at all.
There was only one other possibility, Lu Yeming had inherited his motherâs genes. With that thought, it meant that the Queen must be a ravishing beauty.
âFeng Lingxue used to be the top hostess of Ah Jiaoâs Room, she could perform a pole dance with just one strip of silk fabric and make all men completely mesmerized. However, these people had not seen the Queenâs dance yet, that was rumored to be out of this world...â
Jun Xiqing had seen Sister Lingxueâs aerial dance before, it was really beautiful. She hadnât expected the dance to be created by the Queen. It was a pity, she had no chance to witness the Queenâs dance.
Many years later, the Queenâs dance also became a legend.
âThird Prince, has the Lord been bewitched by the Queen before?â
Murong Ling shook his head. âI donât know about that, but I do know that the Lord hates the Queen to the core. The Queen disappeared for more than 20 years and there was no news of her at all. I hope she doesnât appear. If the Lord finds her, heâs going to rip her to shreds.â
Really...? Jun Xiqing wasnât convinced, could the Lord even bear to do that?
Fan Men suddenly spoke. âMaster.â
Jun Xiqing lifted her head, the car door had been pulled open. Lu Yeming had come back. When he stood beside the lake just now, he exuded a cold, frosty aura and his deep-set eyes were unfathomable. His return had caused the atmosphere in the car to turn icy.
âWest Duke, how did it go between you and our father?â It was apparent that Murong Ling was waiting to watch the drama.
In response, Lu Yeming lifted his head, shooting a glance over in Murong Lingâs direction. âGet off.â
What?
âWest Duke, how can you be so heartless!â Murong Ling protested.
Lu Yemingâs face darkened.
Murong Ling quickly raised both hands and surrendered. âFine, Iâll leave. Goodbye, Qingqing.â
Jun Xiqing waved at him. âGoodbye, Third Prince.â
Lu Yeming remained expressionless. âDrive.â
...
The luxury car was speeding on the road and Jun Xiqing looked at the man beside her. âWest Duke, where are we going?â
Lu Yeming looked outside of the window. âWeâre going to visit Moâer.â
The moment he said this, his voice suddenly became really gentle.
...
Gu Mohan had purchased an apartment for Tang Moâer to live in.
There was a small vase on the off-white desk, the Manjusaka growing inside.
Lu Yeming had sent it over, it was to treat the AR. Tang Moâer lifted her hand, touching the Red Spider Lily. She felt a sharp pain on her finger. Lowering her head to check, her fingertip had been pricked by a thorn.
Just like that, her finger started to bleed.
Tang Moâerâs heart pounded, she had an ominous feeling in her heart. In fact, her sixth sense had always been accurate.
A melodious ringtone sounded, she had an incoming phone call. Tang Moâer looked at the screen, it was an unknown number.
Who could it be?
She answered the call. âHello.â
âHello, Miss Tang.â It was a womanâs voice on the other end.
The womanâs voice was gentle, but she sounded a little aged, around her 40s. âHello, who is this?â
âIt does not matter. Iâm calling you to let you know about something.â
âWhat is it?â
âAre you interested to know about the West Dukeâs parentage?â
Tang Moâerâs heart gave a loud thump. Yemingâs parentage?
âMiss Tang, your biological younger brother actually passed away 23 years ago and your father, Lu Jinwen was well aware of that. West Duke is not your biological brother, he has the Dragon Totem on his back. In fact, heâs the crown prince of Country A.â
When she heard the news, Tang Moâerâs pupils contracted, everything searing into her mind in an instant.
What?
Yeming wasnât her biological younger brother?
No.
That was impossible.
âMiss Tang, the power in Country A has been divided among the dukes, we need West Duke to unify Country A. However, he still loves you. He loves you so much that he is not willing to take the Murong familyâs last name. He wants to continue using Lu Yemingâs identity to stay by your side.â
Tang Moâer felt a twinge in her chest, her eyes reddened and she balled her hands into fists. âWhatâs your purpose in telling me this?â
There wasnât any reply on the other end, Tang Moâerâs response was unexpected.
Tang Moâer smirked. âI wonât believe you, even if what you just said is true, he will always be my younger brother. You know that he loves me and Iâm his weakness, that I make him vulnerable. If youâre trying to use me to harm him, donât bother trying!â
âMiss Tang, the Manjusaka is not real. The Red Spider Lily does not exist.â
