Chapter 70 - The so-called fate of husband and wife (1/2)

In the palace's slave courtyard, the condemned officials were all locked up, and they were all the women of the family. If these women hadn't been convicted by their families, they would have all been the noble ladies of the family, the daughters of officials and officials of the family. The name 'Tian Dou' didn't have a deep impression of An Jinxiu. It was just that when the Emperor told her that he would give her a son, she had thought of that name.

In her previous life, when the royal family had taken over the main branch of the clan, Bai Chengze had exposed the evidence of Empress Xiang killing dragon seed to the Emperor.

After several nights of pŀėȧsurės from the underworld in the courtyard, it was discovered that the Empress had been torturing and killing all women that has been graced a night with the Emperor in the torture chamber in the courtyard. For instance, Tian Dou, leaving one body with two lives taken.

That was the beginning of the Imperial Empress's disharmony, and also the beginning of Bai Chengze pressing on the crown prince step by step.

Speaking of which, this Tian Dou was not the daughter of a convicted official, but a merchant girl. Just because she was very beautiful, Bai Chengze had taken a fancy to her and sent her into the palace to woo the Emperor, but he hadn't expected that he would be hindered by the empress.

An Jin counted the days in her heart. If she wasn't wrong, then this Tian Dou was already pregnant with the dragon seed. Rather than letting this girl be beaten to death by the empress, she might as well bring her to her side. She would give her a chance to live and in return, Tian Dou would give her a dragon.

When Zi Yuan entered the house, An Jinxiu was still sitting by the window, looking out. ”Miss, eat your meal,” she called.

An Jinxiu did not say anything as if she did not hear what Zi Yuan just said.

An Jinxiu stood up and said to Zi Yuan, ”Don't talk about our past anymore. No matter how much you say it, we won't be able to go back.”

Zi Yuan replied with an 'oh' before lowering her head. They couldn't think about the past anymore.

In the backyard of the Shangguan family, there was actually a very small osmanthus tree. According to the Second Young Master, the General Shangguan had planted it before he got married for the sake of her young mistress. After wiping her eyes, Zi Yuan ran to the table where the dishes were placed and told An Jinxiu, ”I made this. Miss, you can try it.”

The taste of the dishes cooked by Zi Yuan could not be any more familiar to An Jin. Seeing that there was still meat in the dishes, An Jin asked, ”What about the people in the monastery?”

”Eunuch Xie told them to stay in the front yard and not to come to the back,” said Zi Yuan. ”I saw the old host in the front yard today and he ran away the moment he saw me, as if he saw a ghost.”

”If you see them in the future, just pretend you don't know them. Don't talk to them,” An Jin replied.

”Why?”

”They'd better not know about us.”

”They must have known. Otherwise, why would the old host run away the moment he saw me?”

Zi Yuan's body shuddered as she immediately understood An Jin's words.

As the food entered her mouth, she couldn't feel the taste, but she still ate the bowl of rice. Having decided to live, she had to give herself a good body. A weak person would not be able to live long after entering the palace. How could a person who could not live long be willing to watch the empress and An Jinyan not die? At the very least, she had to live longer than these two women.

That night, the Emperor Shizong did not come to the monastery hall, but sent some nourishment from the palace and a luminous pearl from the night.

This was one of the treasures of the White Emperor Clan, and was meant solely for the Emperor. Even the Empress would not be able to use it on this occasion.

Who would have thought that the Emperor would send it over to Ah Jin this time. Eunuch Xie was now very sure of An Jin's position in the heart of the Emperor. She was a woman who had always wanted but could not, and now that he had gotten his hands on, he was still the person he longed for.

In front of Eunuch Xie and the other people of the monastery haml, An Jin seemed to be overwhelmed by favor. However, after seeing that there was no one in the room, she didn't even glance at the Luminous Pearl.

She just laid there on the bed, looking at the red brqcelet she had been wearing. Her home was on fire, but the red bracelet was still intact when she wore it on her body. Thinking about her and Shangguan Yong's wedding night, the scene when Shangguan Yong gave the red bracelet to her, An Jin silently cried.

What month old temple, marriage string, it was not effective at all, or did she and Shangguan Yong really have no fate to be husband and wife?

Shangguan Yong sat in a restaurant outside the inn, facing the street and allowing him to see the pedestrians and cars passing by.

The man sitting opposite Shangguan Yong poured a cup of wine for him, stood up and said: ”General Shangguan, I have already brought my master's words to you. My master hopes that General Shangguan will think twice before you leave.” After saying this, the man turned around and left. He didn't forget to pay the bill when he went downstairs.

Shangguan Yong didn't say anything about this man leaving. After drinking a cup of wine, Shangguan Yong covered his forehead with both hands.

An Jinxiu was still alive in the northern part of the city.

It was very likely that An Jin had already gone to the dragon bed.
