Legally Romance 7/8

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Lost Romance (Taiwanese); Forever Love (cdrama)

As much as I love both actors, especially Tao, this series for me was very uneven. The first half I actually didn’t care for as much as I did as the last half which is unusual since it’s usually the other way around. I think it had a lot to do with how the female was written with the storyline. The whole plot resolves on “dreams” with a twist (don’t want to give away spoilers for those who still haven’t seen it yet) Now the chemistry between both leads are amazing to a point. I do feel Tao has more of a lovey-dovey feel to him then Song Zu Er especially in the first half, where Zu Er’s character is more stand-off’ish. There’s much more of a connection in the second half between them when her ‘dream’ ends. Overall it’s a nice pleasant unique romcom with a few hiccups here and there.

WIP Wednesday (MLC Mind Control Bug Fic Edition)

Happy Wednesday! Have some of a new MLC fic I just started working on!

I realized I had very strong feelings about amnesia in fics (as someone who has experienced it before), and so a new MLC one-shot fic was born, in which amnesiac a-Fei discovers the mind control bug in his neck his first night in Lotus Tower. (This part takes place after his failed attempts to get it out.)

To anyone who is missing my MLC longfic excerpts, the plan is to continue with them next week! (I'm hoping to get this one up on AO3 by the end of the weekend!)

A-Fei’s head swam a little with each step, but the pain had mostly subsided to a dull, manageable thud in time with his pulse. He was distantly tempted to pull himself free from Li Lianhua’s hands and walk unaided back to Lotus Tower, gathering enough energy to collapse only once he had reached his bed upstairs. But Li Lianhua gripped his arm more tightly the first time he even felt like he might be about to wobble, and yanked it over his shoulder until he was using Li Lianhua like half a crutch. And suddenly, not touching Li Lianhua seemed unacceptable.

“What were you thinking?” Li Lianhua muttered again, wrapping his other arm around a-Fei’s back and resting his hand on his waist. “You probably reopened your stab wound, collapsing like that. I really should be charging you for this, you know. You’re getting my professional expertise for free.” His grip tightened on a-Fei’s waist too close to the stab wound, sending ripples of angry fire coursing up his torso. 

A-Fei hissed out a pained breath. “It’s worth exactly what I’m paying for it.”

Li Lianhua pulled his hand away from the injured waist like he’d been burned. “Don’t be ridiculous,” he said, putting his hand much higher up this time, closer to a-Fei’s ribcage. “I was just checking to see if you’re bleeding through the bandages. It’s a necessary part of the process.”

“Hmm,” a-Fei hummed, taking several more steps and relishing the sensation of the man’s hand against his side. His fingers were cold but the touch warmed him nonetheless. “And am I?” 

“Are you what?”

“Bleeding through the bandages?”

“I didn’t finish checking. You’re too terrible a patient,” Li Lianhua said, squeezing a-Fei’s forearm in what seemed like an apology. “I’ll have to examine it more inside.”  

“I see,” a-Fei said, taking another step, his mind still turning over the grip on his arm. Had they touched often? The idea of anyone else touching him made him want to unsheathe his dao, but with Li Lianhua, he would almost rather chance one of his bai hui’s acupoint’s lightening bolts of pain than step away. And as much as he disliked the idea of needing his wound examined, it would give him the opportunity to examine Li Lianhua. And to continue observing his own reactions to the man’s hands. “And what exactly does this examination entail?” he teased. “Based on your earlier example, I assume pinching or punching the wound? Or stabbing it again to check the durability of the healing skin?”

Li Lianhua snorted. “Only if you keep insulting my competence.” Then he paused, mid-step, his grip on a-Fei loosening. “Ah. I’m just going to look at the plaster. If blood has soaked through it, I’ll pour hemostatic powder on the wound first and then put a new plaster on. You’ll just need to untie your robes, but they can stay on. I’ll be quick.”

Huh. Unexpected. He had been joking, but actual information about what to expect didn’t hurt. Although something about the way he mentioned robes was strange. Almost as though Li Lianhua was uncomfortable about it. There was no reason for that to be an awkward request from someone providing medical treatment–

Unless they had been in a relationship, or at least had prior sexual history together.

It would certainly explain his response to Li Lianhua’s hands touching him. 

He’d have to investigate more to be sure, since asking would be sure to prompt more lies.

MY.SOUL)

Potrei aspettarti anche sotto la pioggia, non sentirei freddo perché ascolto i battiti del tuo cuore caldo e pieno d'emozioni. Si lo so vorresti dire tante cose, non importa perché poi sarà la pioggia a parlarmi di te! Sai a volte sento un respiro lungo alla schiena, che lentamente sposta i veli ondeggianti della mia anima, essi tremano..vorrei...

Sai il fiume scorre, ed è proprio li che sento  tutte le emozioni, ed è per questo che amo la pioggia. Lì si unisce il mio battito al tuo, lì la pioggia mi porta a te, fin dai tempi dell'incarnazione dove in tutte queste vite ci sei sempre stato, tu, in questa eterna pioggia, da cuore a cuore..dove tutto inizia da una fine senza tempo...

[pippin-pippout]

So I dragged myself kicking and screaming and, yes, mostly in denial, through the last episodes of A Journey to Love.

My thoughts can be summarized as follows:

Obviously this is mainly due to me being horrifically traumatized by Yuan Lu’s death. After all, they told us from the get go he wouldn’t live to 20. They made it clear he had a deadly heart disease. And then. They had the nerve. They had the audacity. They had the actual fucking bahoonga BALLS to follow through!?

But then I found myself sobbing at literally every good guy death scene, plus all of the mourning scenes. The latter was in large part thanks to Alen Fang's acting - deepest apologies to him for just referring to his character as 'the slutty one' for the majority of the show. Not that I was wrong. Also thanks to strong performances from He Lan Dou for Yuan Lu's death.

Anyway so I need to add this gif x4 for the Liudao Hall babies:

Qian Zhao, da ge, who made mistakes but always did right in the end

Sun Lang, who just wanted to hold something fluffy at the end, dying a hero

Yuan Lu, who died in his princess's arms after running to deliver a letter rendered useless by the Emperor of An's greed.

Yu Shisan, who lived as he lived and had such a happy moment with Chu Yue right before it all became irrevocable.

When they added Yu Shisan to the snowball fight, I just about lost it. Liu Yuning's acting there - having the realization about Shisan's death as he watched them play in real time was so well done. Really hurt.

Plus I'll make a couple of versions with edits.

For the Wu Emperor. I knew it was gonna happen from the spoilers but damn, him genuinely learning the value of friendship and brotherly love made me root for him. Dude did not deserve to go out like that. Thank goodness for the magic of CDramas where he lived just long enough to pass on his will to Ning Yuanzhou, and do one last act of good.

It also ensured Duke of Chu was able to pass on his command to his daughter, Chu Yue, before dying of the same (was not clear if her bro died or not, or if dad was always going to choose her).

And for Deng Hui. Started out thinking he was just a sexist bastard. Turns out he was one of the most principled characters in the show.

Their deaths didn't make me cry, but I respect them.

Also loved Chen Du Ling's (Empress of Wu) small part in this. I may not like all of her characters but she can deliver a scene and hold a room. It was a bit cathartic to see her put every man in their place, and basically decide the fate of two countries, even though her lament that she'd only ever have power through another held true.

Ah Ying, my baby girl. This is a character that could have turned people off from the beginning. Thanks to strong writing and stronger acting, it did not. I was super impressed with He Lan Dou. She can dial it up and dial it down in a single take, and can play big dramatic scenes with a subtlety that some older actors cannot grasp. This was the first thing I've seen her in, though for her and Chen You Wei (Yuan Lu) I might watch Tiger and Crane if someone tells me it's good.

I still think Li Tongguang is a perverted and creepy child, who never managed to learn (except in literally the last ep), but at least I trust that he will treat Ah Ying well. I don't hold it against him for screwing up the battle - he was trying to be benevolent but made a bad choice.

The main couple win it for me this year. What an inspired pairing. They beat out heavy hitters including Bai Lu x Everyone which was near impossible. Something to do with letting Liu Shi Shi use Liu Yuning's height against him at every possible moment. Also the 'if you die, I'll finish the job and then follow you' is my favorite dynamic. I swear when Ruyi threw those bombs, NOT NEEDING TO HAVING ALREADY SUCCEEDED AT KILLING THE KING AND PRINCE, just to join him, y'all I died. Good for whoever posthumously gave her the Marquis title on her own (not just furen) - couldn't tell if it was Li Tongguang acting as regent or Dayang (great shot of those two at the end).

The final episode was one of the best final cdrama episodes I've seen. I might have to make another post about that. In sum, despite losing a large portion of the well-loved cast, the remainder gave a world-class finale. The visuals were incredible (explosions are my favorite). The final scene was beautiful (though I'm a bit surprised they gave it to Chu Yue instead of Ah Ying who knew all 6 of them closely).

Rating cdramas I watched as a newbie pt.1

!!Spoiler Warning!!

The Untamed 9+1/10 

Acting: 10/10 World-building: 9/10 Production: 7/10 Storytelling: 9/10 Re-watch Value: 10/10  Pacing: 7/10 Bonus: +1 for Chemistry & Fight Scenes 

The Untamed was the first C-Drama I watched. At the time, my BTS focused Twitter TL started to watch the drama during BTS 2019 break and I joined them out of curiosity. The first few episodes left me very confused, while the beginning of the flashback in episode 3 failed to grab my attention initially. It wasn't until episode 10, that I was completely sold. Later on, the show made me cry so much. In retrospect I think, that this drama doesn't just have a high re-watch value, it actually gets better watching it a second time.

When I watch the initially confusing beginning now, it makes me tear up. While I didn't care about all the side characters at first, the second time around I was full of emotion and sadness seeing their story play out. However, the initial pacing was a bit too slow and I almost stopped watching the show. The overall world-building is interesting, but it left me with a lot of question regarding the sect system and the Wen sect felt especially flat. The highlights are definitely the acting by the main characters and the supporting cast, as well as Yibos fighting scenes. One of the biggest problem of the show is the production: From low budget CGI to cheap looking props, to strange camera angles and lighting issues.

I would always recommend this to someone who hasn't watch cdramas yet. It's easy to get into and the story and characters are equally well done!

---

Word of Honor 8/10 

Acting: 8/10 World-building: 8/10 Production: 5/10 Storytelling: 8/10 Re-watch Value: 8.5/10  Pacing: 9/10 Bonus: A psycho with red eye makeup and a fan.

Neflix was really adamant that I would like this show and after a while I (fourtunally) gave in. As much as I love it now, initially, it took me a while to get into the characters and world. I was often confused about the story, which actually added tension. I cried so much during that wedding. Some of the acting of the side characters was rough, so was the production at times. The romantic slowed down fight scenes really made me cringe so hard I had to pause the video multiple times. One of my favorite things is the world-building, especially the social constructed ghosts, even through it took me a while to fully understand them. The story arc between the Scorpion King and his adoptive father messed me up a bit, but it gave the show even more nuances. I love this show so much now, Wen Kexing has my whole heart.

---

Back from the Brink 6-1/10

Acting: 6/10 World-building: 7/10 Production: 8/10 Storytelling: 4/10 Re-watch Value: 4/10  Pacing: 4/10 Bonus: -1 for making me hate Liu Yao Yuan's character and acting

YouTube started to recommend the show to me and I started out really liking it. Especially the familiar arc was fun and when Tian Yao took the heart scale from Yan Hui I was ready to cry. However, at some point the show turned into a mess. The characters become more and more flat and the emotional impact of the events were non existing. The acting was another weak point of the show - and I do think it's the fault of the bad script. Neo Hou is doing a good job as Tian Yao, while Zhou Ye as Yan Hui is carrying the show. Riley Wang lacks as Bai Xiao Sheng and I think he doesn't suit this genre. All the villains are flat and boring. But Liu Yao Yuan as the dumb prince Zhu Li is a crime. I hated this character every time he appeared on screen for being annoying and unnecessary. But what really made me lose it, is when I recognized the actor as having played Wang Zhi in The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty. He did such a great job there and was one of my favorite character. It takes a especially bad script, superficial directing and one-dimensional character to make a talented actor to give such a horrible performance. 

--

Till the end of the Moon 10/10 

Acting: 10/10 World-building: 9/10 Production: 9/10 Storytelling: 10/10 Re-watch Value: 10/10  Pacing: 10/10 Bonus: In my Tantai Jin obsession era

Who needs sleep and sun light, when you got Luo Yunxi as Tantai Jin suffering so prettily? Not me apparently, since I binged the show in one weekend, skipping sleep, only to re-watch the show the second I was done with the last episode. Is there room for improvement? Of course. The editing messed up the pacing, but I still loved it the way it was. My main grievance is that they had to cut so many episodes and side stories. I see a lot of people complain about the complex story-line and plot holes, but I actually think that if you pay close attention its all explained quite well. Only the re-birth connection took me a bit to fully understand. That's why I also like the pacing - it's faster than normal, but that led me to be obsessed with the show by episode 2 (usually it takes me at least 6-10 episodes). I cried, I laughed, I squeaked and vibrated in excitement. The acting is great through out the show, even the supporting cast is pulling their weight next to two strong leads. The chemistry between Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu is really something. I loved watching the bts moment, when they were overacting their parts only to fall into character so well, once the camera was on.

The show - and Luo Yunxi - pulled my out of a hyper-fixation, that was turning draining and effecting my mental health negatively. I will forever be thankful for this, but also stay cautions not to be dragged into fandom toxicity again.

Part 2 coming soon... (including Love is Sweet, Love Between a Fairy and a Devil, And the winner is love and more)

Account of the Di (WS101)

[I.e. the kingdom of Chouchi. This post covers down to the ascension of Yang Baozong in 429]

The Di are a separate kind of the Western Yi, titled the Baima. At the juncture of the Three Eras, perhaps Bai was a lord or chief, but in that period there was a single court audience. For that reason the Poetry claims:

Since those Di and Qiang, do not dare not to come to the King.

From Qin, Han and onwards, for generation they lived in Qi, Long and southwards, and Hanchuan and westwards, and established themselves as prominent leaders.

In the middle of Han's Jian'an [196 – 220] there was Yang Teng, he was a great leader of the section's family groups. Teng was brave, strong and with many plans and schemes. He was the first to move to Chouchi. Chouchi has an area of a hundred [bai] qing, because of that he used it as a title. [All] four sides are steep and sheer, and are 7 li tall. The road coils like goat intestines for thirty-six rotations. On its top is the source of the Feng river. They cook the earth to achieve salt.

After Teng there was someone named Qianwan. Wei designated him as King of the Baiqing Di. Qianwan's grandson was named Feilong. He gradually grew strong and flourishing, Emperor Wu of Jin made use of him as General who Pacifies the West.

He had no sons, and reared his sister's son Linghu Maosou as his son. Middle of Emperor Hui's Yuankang era [291 – 299], Maosou titled himself General who Supports the State and Worthy King of the Right, the crowd of Di pushed him forward as ruler. Many of the gentlemen Within the Passes who drifted and moved about relied on him. Emperor Min used him as General of Agile Cavalry and Worthy King of Left.

Maosou died, and his son Nandi controlled the position. He and his younger brother Jiantou divided the entourage. Nandi titled himself Worthy King of the Left and stationed at Xiabian. Jiantou titled himself Worthy King of the Right, and stationed at Hechi.

Nandi died, his son Yi was installed. He titled himself Envoy Holding the Tally, Dragon Prancing General, Worthy King of the Left, and Duke of Duke of Xiabian. He used Jiantou's son Pan as Envoy Holding the Tally, General of the Best of the Army, Worthy King of the Right, and Duke of Hechi. He was subject to Jin, and Jin used Yi as General who Conquers the South.

3rd Year [of Xiankang, 337 AD, per Songshu], Yi's senior kinsman Chu assaulted and killed Yi, and also gained his multitudes. He installed himself as Duke of Chouchi and was subject to Shi Hu. Later he claimed to be vassal to Jin. 10th Year of Yonghe [354 AD], changed Chu to be Duke of Tianshui.

11th Year [355 AD], Yi's younger brother Songnu sent his aunt's son Liang Sanwang to take the opportunity of attending to straight away with blade in hand kill Chu. Chu's son Guo led left and right to excute Sanwang and Songnu, and then installed himself as Duke of Chouchi. Huan Wen petitioned for Guo to be Inspector of Qin province, and for Guo's son An to be Grand Warden of Wudu.

12th Year [356 AD], Guo's junior uncle's son Jun killed Guo and installed himself. Guo's son An betrayed Fu Sheng, killed Jun, and then declared himself a vassal to Jin.

An died, his son Shi installed himself as Duke of Chouchi. Jin's 3rd Year of Taihe [368 AD], used Shi as Inspector of Qin province, and his younger brother Tong as Grand Warden of Wudu.

Shi died. Tong deposed Shi's son Zuan and installed himself. Tong was also named De. Zuan assembled a faction, assaulted and killed Tong, and installed himself as Duke of Chouchi. He dispatched envoys to go to Emperor Jianwen, who used Zuan as Inspector of Qin province. Jin's 1st Year of Xian'an [371 Ad], Fu Jian dispatched Yang An to invade Zuan. He overcame him, and moved his people to Within the Passes, and emptied the land of Baiqing.

At the death of Songnu, his two sons Fonu and Fogou escaped and ran to Fu Jian. Jian used [a daughter] as wife to Fonu's son Ding, and designated him as Master of Writing and [General who] Leads the Army. At the defeat of Fu Jian, Guanyou was disturbed and chaotic. Ding exhausted his strength for Jian. When Jian died, he led the multitudes to run to Longyou. He moved to govern Licheng, which is 120 li from Chouchi, and set up granaries and stores at Baiqing. He summoned the barbarians and the Xia, and obtained more than a thousand families. He declared himself Dragon Prancing General and Duke of Chouchi, and declared to be vassal to Jin. Xiaowu promptly used what he had titled himself to make use of him, and later used him as Inspector of Qin province. 4th Year of Dengguo [389 AD], he thereupon had the land of Qin province, and titled himself as King of Longxi. He was later killed by Qifu Qiangui. He had no sons.

Fogou's son Sheng first was overseeing the state, and defended Chouchi. He then controlled affairs, titled himself General who Conquers the West, Inspector of Qin province, and Duke of Chouchi, and conferred posthumous title on Ding as Martial [wu] King. He divided the various Di and Qiang to make twenty sections with Army-Protectors. Each he made a garrison posts, and he did not set up commanderies and counties. Thereupon he had the land of Hanzhong, but continued to declare to be vassal to Jin. Beginning of Tianxing [398 – 404], he dispatched envoys to court [i.e. the Wei court] with tribute. A decree used Sheng as Great General who Conquers the South and King of Chouchi. He was isolated and blocked off by Yao Xing, and did not mange to communicate annually with tribute and envoys. Sheng used his older brother's son Fu as General who Pacifies the South and Inspector of Liang# province, to defend Hanzhong. Middle of Liu Yu's Yongchu [420 – 422], ennobled Sheng as King of Wudu. Sheng died, his private posthumous title was Kind and Civil [huiwen] King. His son Xuan controlled the position.

Xuan, courtesy name Huangmei, was titled Great General who Conquers the West, Opening Office with Ceremony Similar to the Three Ministers, Inspector of Qin province, and King of Wudu. Though he was a declared vassal to Liu Yilong, he continued to defer to the symbol of Jin's Yongxi era. Later he started to use Yilong's Yuanjia calendar.

Earlier, Sheng spoke to Xuan, saying:

I am aged and already old, and will end as a subject of Jin. For you it is good to serve the Song emperor.

For that reason Xuan deferred to him.

Xuan was good at entertaining scholars, and was cherished by migrants and long-time [inhabitants]. 4th Year of Shiguang [427 AD], Shizu dispatched the Great Swan-geese Arranger, Gongsun Gui, to designate Xuan as Great General who Conquers the South, Chief Controller, Inspector of Liang# province, and King of Nanqin. Xuan sent up a petition to request to be aligned with inner vassals. Allowed it. Xuan died, his private posthumous title was Filial and Luminous [xiaozhao] King. His son Baozong controlled the position.

The Princess Wei Yang - 149 Part 1

Chapter 149: The So-Called Marriage Alliance

Li Wei Yang refused directly, but she said it tactfully. In addition, everyone knew that she had fallen off a horse and injured her ankle, so no one said she was arrogant.

Princess Anguo glanced at her, but obviously didn't take her seriously.

For one, Li Wei Yang is not beautiful enough. Secondly, compared with Mo Jia, she seems cold and unattractive. Thirdly, Tuoba Zhen and her are enemies rather than friends.

Princess Anguo's eyes were still fixed on Mo Jia. Mo Jia couldn't help but tremble under her eyes. Tuoba Zhen waved his hand and said, "All of you go down and let a new group of people come up to perform." Then Mo Jia and Tan Yun retreated.

Because the dance just now was criticized by Princess An Guo, what came next was Wu Sheng's fighting scene, which was matched with the recent popular plays in the capital. Princess Anguo watched absently, with a half-smile on her face, but she didn't say a word.

But although she didn't know why, Li Wei Yang still felt a little uneasy. She glanced behind Princess Anguo. The dozen or so guards were there, but Hui Nu among the four men in black was no longer there. With her heart pounding, she gave Bai Zhi a few words. After listening, Bai Zhi quietly went to Princess Yongning and passed the words to the personal female attendant. The female attendant went to tell Princess Yongning. She was slightly surprised after hearing the message, and quickly ordered people out, then nodded to Li Wei Yang.

Li Wei Yang felt relieved. She was not benevolent, but she didn't want anything to happen at such a banquet. After all, this was an imperial banquet.

Just as Wu Sheng was reaching the climax of his performance, a woman came stumbling over and fell to the ground. She raised her head revealing a pale face: it was Tan Yun. She seemed to be greatly frightened, and she couldn't even speak.

Princess Yongning's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, "Hurry up and help her up!"

However, Tan Yun pushed away the person who was supporting her and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, princess, help! Help!" Everyone's expression changed, but she continued, "Miss Mo... Miss Mo, she..."

Princess Yongning stood up subconsciously and asked loudly: "What happened to Miss Mo?" Mo Jia was a frequent guest at her banquets, and she was invited with a lot of money. Could something happen at this banquet?

Tan Yun, however, was tongue-tied, and all her intelligence and calm were gone. She pointed at the lake nearby and was speechless. Princess Yongning turned her head and glanced at Li Wei Yang. Seeing that her face was also extremely solemn, she said loudly: "Let's go take a look first!"

After the host of the banquet spoke, everyone stood up and followed Tan Yun quickly. However, Tan Yun seemed to be so afraid that her legs were weak, as she had to be forcefully driven along the way. After walking not far, they saw a figure lying motionless by the lake. Princess Yongning said quickly: "Go and save her!"

Mo Jia was a woman, so none of the men dared to move. The female officials heard the command and went forward. However, when they got closer, they all stood there as if they had turned to stone.

"What are you all doing standing around! Trash!" Princess Yongning scolded angrily as she walked up quickly. The palace maids behind them lit the red lanterns. Li Wei Yang followed the light of the lanterns and her breathing stopped for a moment.

At this moment the performer on the stage had already changed into a female actor. The performer just happened to sing, "But now is the time when spring is dying. In the Xiao Temple with its gates closed; the flowers are falling and the water is red. There are thousands of idle sorrows. There are no words to complain about the east wind. There are people walking in secluded places. The green moss is white and the dew is cold." The soft and lingering singing voice is circuitous, elegant and melodious, and every word goes straight to the heart. It circled gently, came out of the garden, and blew all the way here, but somehow it caused countless chills on people's bodies.

Amidst the sound of this song, Mo Jia was seen lying on the edge of the lake like a broken rag doll, her clothes turned into strips of cloth by knife made cuts, and the wounds were densely covered with black ants. Especially horrendour where the pair of eyes, which had suddenly turned into two bloody holes, and the original pair of beautiful eyeballs had disappeared.

Li Wei Yang was quite brave, but she couldn't help but take a half step back. Princess Yongning's face paled and she turned around and retched. The female attendant next to her quickly helped her to the side. It took Yongning a long time to recover, before she turned around and said, "Go and see if she is still alive!"

Immediately, a bold guard stepped forward, and after a while he came over and said: "She still seems to be breathing."

Yongning's face did not improve at all, but became even paler. Before she could speak, she heard Tuoba Zhen say: "Hurry up and call the doctor!"

Li Wei Yang couldn't help but frown when she saw Mo Jia's miserable state, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Imperial Physician Chen Yuan had been invited to the banquet and was already a little drunk. When the princess summoned him, he quickly washed his face with cold water and rushed over for diagnosis and treatment. Everyone waited for a full moment, but no one dared to approach Mo Jia. They could only let the guards reluctantly carry her aside.

"How could this happen?" Yongning's voice was flat and pale, trembling slightly, like a fluttering piece of paper under the cool wind, weak and helpless.

Li Wei Yang saw that Mo Jia's lily-like delicate body and graceful neck, shoulders and arms were covered with scars, her slender waist and beautiful legs were covered with bugs, and her gentle eyes had been dug out. How cruel it is to be tortured and yet still alive and lingering, especially when this appearance is exposed to everyone. Li Wei Yang endured the churning in her stomach and whispered: "Quickly prepare some clothes." The person next to her reacted and rushed over, covering Mo Jia's scarred body with a cloak.

Physician Chen came. When he saw Miss Mo, his legs went soft. Tuoba Zhen frowned and said, "Hurry and treat her!"

After all, Physician Chen had seen countless patients with horrible appearances. At this moment, he suppressed the fear in his heart, walked over step by step, and knelt down to treat her.

"Physician Chen, what is going on?" Princess Yongning finally stopped retching, but she only dared to stand far away. At this time, the ninth princess who had just gone to apply medicine also arrived. Seeing this scene, she was also trembling all over, and she grabbed Princess Yongning's arm and wouldn't let go.

"Miss Mo - all the muscles in her limbs and joints in her waist were severed."

"What? You mean she became a paralyzed cripple. But why are there so many ants in the wound?" Tuoba Zhen couldn't help but be surprised. Mo Jia was just a dancer. Who on earth could have such a big grudge against her that they'd use such a vicious method, not only gouging out her eyes, but also breaking all the tendons in her body. For a dancer, what could be more cruel punishment than this. It was more uncomfortable than killing her.

"Her wound... was smeared with honey, so it attracted countless ants and other bugs." Physician Chen said, his face was extremely solemn. Not far away, many of the aristocratic ladies were already frightened to the point of crumbling.

"What's going on here?" At this time, the crowd suddenly parted, and a girl came forward.

Li Wei Yang turned around and saw Princess Anguo. Her rouged lips were as red as coral, and the sweet little dimples on her face made her smile even more charming. Somehow, when Li Wei Yang saw her smile, she felt a gust of cool wind creeping into her sleeves, coming up gently, like a clever little snake, suddenly taking such a small bite on her body, cold and sharp.

Princess Yongning forgot about the quarrel just now and said in a trembling voice: "Someone broke Miss Mo's tendons and hamstrings and cut her all over. They also smeared honey on the wounds and attracted ants to bite her. I don't know who it was who actually did such a cruel thing."

Everyone agreed. Mo Jia's pair of beautiful eyes were gone, all the muscles and veins in her body were broken, and her body was cut, attracting countless ants to eat them. Such pain, numbness and itching, really makes people unable to survive. She couldn't even seek death, what kind of deep hatred must there be to treat a weak woman like this.

"Tsk, tsk, how did she get injured like this?" Princess An Guo looked over and glanced at Mo Jia. She murmured in a low voice, "Such a cute, timid, and lovable beauty has turned into such a thing. If it were me, it would be better to die."

The Ninth Princess looked at Princess Anguo coldly and said angrily: "What did you say?!"

Princess Anguo chuckled and said, "I mean, if I become so ugly one day, it would be better to die!"

"You -" Ninth Princess almost flew into a rage, but Li Wei Yang suddenly grabbed her and shook her head. The Ninth Princess was stunned. She had never seen Li Wei Yang look like this before. She seemed to be very stern. The anger in her heart seemed to have been doused with a basin of cold water, leaving only smoke without fire.

No one else heard what Princess Anguo said. The only ones who heard were Princess Yongning, Princess Ninth and Li Wei Yang standing nearby. However, Tuoba Zhen, who was standing next to Physician Chen, suddenly looked back. Princess Anguo immediately showed a coquettish expression and said: "The smell of blood here is so strong, it really scares me. Your Highness, can you accompany me back to the party?"

Tuoba Zhen looked at her face, as if trying to find some trace, but Princess Anguo stared at him innocently with her big eyes. Tuoba Zhen felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more calm. He said: "This is natural. I will leave it to Physician Chen to manage things her. Someone, pass on my order and handle this case. Pass it to Jing Zhaoyin and ask him to have full authority to investigate and deal with it."

"Yes."

Tuoba Zhen accompanied Princess Anguo back. The others who were standing around felt the cold wind blowing, so they also went back to the banquet. Only Princess Yongning, Ninth Princess, and Li Wei Yang remained.

"That Princess Anguo is really evil." Ninth Princess whispered.

Li Wei Yang looked at Yuan Chen, who was helping Mo Jia treat her wounds, and said slowly: "Poor Miss Mo is innocent."

Princess Yongning looked at Tan Yun, who was almost paralyzed at the side, and said, "Please tell me carefully what happened."

Tan Yun had just drank hot tea and was feeling a little better. She looked back and saw that she was surrounded by Princess Yongning's confidants. Then she said with a trembling voice: "After coming out of the banquet, Miss Mo and I discussed the An Guo princess for a while, but who would've thought that all of a sudden, I felt a chill on the back of my neck. A big, ice-cold hand grabbed me and I was suddenly thrown by a man into the rockery. I hit my head and could not move again. I could only gasp for breath. And then I heard Miss Mo shouting my name, but at that time I couldn't answer at all. I turned around to see that her clothes were all taken off by the man in black. His hand slowly moved down from her forehead to her eyes, and his fingers slid up and down her eyeballs. I was so scared that I almost fainted. The other party's fingers only exerted a little force, and Miss Mo's eyes were dug out ... I should have saved her, but I couldn't move my body, couldn't say a word. I was so useless——"

"What a cruel method." Li Wei Yang looked at Tan Yun's horrified expression and could almost imagine the horrific scene at that time.

"Where is the attendant who took you out?" Li Wei Yang suddenly asked.

Tan Yun shook her head blankly, "She sent us to the garden, pointed the direction and then went back." Because we were coming to the princess's mansion, we were not even allowed to take any personal guards or even a personal maid with us, but who would I thought that in the majestic princess mansion, we would encounter such dangers."

Physician Chen was treating the wound while listening to Tan Yun's description, and couldn't help but feel frightened secretly. He heard Li Wei Yang say: "If Miss Tan doesn't see that person's face, then the only hope lies in Miss Mo."

Physician Chen also agreed in his heart and said: "I will try my best to save her." However, as soon as he turned around, he realized that the person under him had stopped moving, and the sound of breathing could no longer be heard. Physician Chen quickly checked her breathing and found that she was dead. He was shocked and shouted: "Oh, no, she has stopped breathing!" This cry was like being pinched by the neck.

Li Wei Yang walked up quickly and saw that the body that was still shaking was already motionless. She suddenly understood something, and her expression began to change.

Princess Yongning ignored her fear and hurried up: "What's wrong? Didn't you say her life is not in danger?"

Li Wei Yang sneered and said: "The other party has determined the time, which not only makes Miss Mo suffer enough, but also makes her unable to identify the murderer. Such a cruel person is really outrageous." The person who did it was indeed Anguo. If she were to use such a cruel method to deal with her enemy, Li Wei Yang would not blame her in the slightest, because if she was in her place, her enemy would definitely suffer a fate worse than death. However, Princess Anguo's methods were all used on a weak girl like Miss Mo, and for no reason at all.

No, maybe not without reason. At the banquet at that time, Mo Jia asked Tuoba Zhen for help, and she also got Tuoba Zhen's obvious attention. Princess Anguo's thoughts about Tuoba Zhen seemed not that simple - Li Wei Yang couldn't help but think, if Princess Anguo really wanted to torture a woman like this, then she must be extremely narrow-minded and selfish. Not only was he selfish, he was also twisted to the extreme.

It was so terrifying - Tan Yun suddenly sat down on the ground and looked at this scene in horror.

The Ninth Princess also had a horrified look on her face: "Who is so vicious?" She glanced at Li Wei Yang and tentatively said, "Is it the one just now - I'll go find her!"

Li Wei Yang waved her hand, and said: "Ninth Princess, don't provoke her. Don't even look at her. Once the banquet is over, you will return to the palace immediately."

The Ninth Princess was obviously unhappy: "Why should I be afraid of her?! She is just a princess from a foreign country. This is Dali, not Yuexi!"

If the Princess really came at her directly there was no need to be afraid. However, what if she used some cruel method, like how she treated Miss Mo today? Who would be at a disadvantage? Li Wei Yang ignored the Ninth Princess, just glanced at Tan Yun and said to Princess Yongning: "Please send someone to protect Miss Tan."

"You mean?" Princess Yongning couldn't help but be frightened. Could it be that the other party wanted to attack Tan Yun? "But why?"

Li Wei Yang sighed, slowly shook her head, and said: "It's just a guess. You just have to be careful." If Mo Niang was implicated because of Tuoba Zhen's plea, then what about Tan Yun? Will the other party let her go? ? But if you want her to die, why didn't you kill her just now? And why let her see such a tragic scene? Princess Anguo's thoughts are really difficult to fathom.

"Miss Tan, you will stay in the princess's mansion from today on. Don't go back for the time being. I will send someone to protect you." The princess said this, but Tan Yun seemed to be unable to hear anything, staring blankly at her friend's corpse, clearly lost in his own thoughts. Princess Yongning repeated herself before she gave a frightened nod.

"Sister Wei Yang, she looks a little abnormal." Ninth Princess whispered. Li Wei Yang nodded. Tan Yun has always been a very strong and arrogant person. It can be seen from the banquet just now. Seeing her friend die tragically while she alone survived is a kind of torture in itself. And depending on the situation, the other party may not really let her go.

After the banquet, she heard that the palace would hold another small banquet, but Li Wei Yang was no longer prepared to attend. She said she was not feeling well and left. When getting on the carriage, Tuoba Zhen really stood on the other side, watching Li Wei Yang board. At this time a charming voice sounded: "Your Highness, what are you looking at?"

Tuoba Zhen turned around and saw the beautiful Princess Anguo standing behind him, her lovely eyes shining brightly as she stared at him intently. "It's nothing, Princess. His Majesty is still waiting for you."

Princess Anguo smiled, looked thoughtfully in the direction of Li Wei Yang, and said: "The Third Prince seems to be very concerned about this princess?" There was a faint trace of probing in her words.

Tuoba Zhen sneered and said, "Princess, you've come late. You still don't know Princess Anping's character. If you knew, you would take it to heart as well."

Princess Anguo smiled sweetly and said, "Oh, is it true? Your Highness, you might as well tell me about it."

Tuoba Zhen's smile became more and more gentle, and he said, "Naturally. As long as the princess wants to hear —" He vaguely guessed what Princess Anguo was thinking about him, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the benefits that a marriage could bring. Indeed, Princess Anguo is the biological daughter of Empress Pei of Western Yuexi, and the famous General Pei is her grandfather. If he marries her, in addition to the fact that it would create an alliance between Dali and Yuexi, the most obvious benefit of this marriage was that it helped the Dali to contain Southern Xinjiang, and he would naturally became a pivotal figure in front of the emperor. However, Miss Mo's tragic situation just now made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

What he wants to marry is a gentle and lovely princess who is at his mercy, not an arrogant and willful little goblin. This Princess Anguo looks extremely gentle, innocent, and cute, but if Mo Jia was really killed by her, then her thoughts were extremely terrifying. If Princess Anguo is a hot potato, it may not be worth it to pick her up.
