Eight-year-old Murong Ce was beaten all over with bruises by Liu Zhaoyi with a leather whip, but he did not shed a single tear, said a word, or even hummed.

An eight-year-old child was beaten to pieces by his biological mother. Such a thing would only happen in purgatory.

In the end, Liu Zhaoyi was so tired from the beating that she threw the whip on the ground. With a pale face, she pointed at Murong Ce's nose and cursed, "You are the devil, the devil who collects debts from me!!"

She finished speaking and left angrily.

After Liu Zhaoyi was violated by Emperor Houliang in front of everyone in the main hall, she became the laughing stock of everyone.

Even though she was promoted to the position of concubine, she was still laughed at.

Rumors about her spread everywhere and became the talk of the streets.

Obscene language is unbearable.

She hated Emperor Liang, and even more hated his flesh and blood.

She wanted to forget what happened that day, but Murong Ce's presence reminded her all the time, reminding her of the past that she couldn't bear to look back on.

After so many years, Xiangrong still can't forget the scene that day.

When she put the cloak on Murong Ce's torn body, Murong Ce did not look at her, but looked out the window.

The warm light of the setting sun shone into his eyes, turning his deep eyes into amber.

But the golden eyes could not see any warmth.

After this incident, Xiangrong no longer dared to look down upon this ill-fated and unfavored prince.

She was conscientious and loyal, and gradually gained Murong Ce's trust.

Xiangrong watched Murong Ce Chou come to the Later Tang Dynasty as a hostage at the right time, watched his full wings trample those who had bullied him under his feet, watched him gradually become so powerful that he could decide people's life and death at will, and even the Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty wanted to let him a bit.

Xiangrong only felt that following such a master would be a rewarding and full of passion every day.

Murong Ce is like a god. No matter what he encounters, he is strategizing, ruthless, and wisely decisive. He is so powerful that it seems that nothing and no one can affect him.

I thought Murong Ce would always stay like this, but things always backfired.

All these changes started in the winter five years ago.

Murong Ce was 17 years old that year, and she was also 17 years old. However, Xiang Rong was only focused on Murong Ce, and even developed a different kind of feeling for her.

But Xiangrong clearly understood that it was impossible for Murong Ce to like her, so she hid this love in her heart and put it in the most precious position.

On that sunny afternoon five years ago, the warm light fell on the white snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

Xiangrong was adding charcoal to the brazier in the study, while Murong Ce was sitting at the desk reading.

A group of dandies with bruised and swollen faces came to complain.

"Master, that Li Xianyun is so abominable. She drugged us, stunned us, tied us up, and even punched and kicked us."

A name fell on Xiangrong's ears - Li Xianyun, which is the name of a woman.

Someone else said, "It depends on the owner to hit a dog. She didn't hit us in the face, she hit you in the face."

"Yes, she is a wild girl who has just arrived in Beijing, and she dares to disturb Tai Sui. If her prestige is not destroyed, she will not be able to walk around in Beijing in the future, and no one will take you seriously anymore."

Murong Ce held the book in a dignified manner and glanced at the group of people, "If you can't take care of a yellow-haired girl, what's the use of you?"

This group of dandy boys did not dare to say anything more.

I didn't hear Li Xianyun's name again for a while, until a dandy came to complain about Li Xianyun again.

He was shot in the leg by Li Xianyun with a sleeve arrow for teasing a good woman, and he walked with a limp, which was very funny.At that time, Murong Ce was in a bad mood because of some things in the Houliang court. At this time, he was disturbed again and needed to vent.

"Don't Li Xianyun have a younger brother in school?"

What happened next, Xiangrong heard that he almost died.

Everyone knows who did this, but no one dares to ask, let alone take care of it.

After that, Li Xianyun's name was rarely heard in Proton Mansion, but many people mentioned it in Chang'an, Kyoto. There were good rumors, but most of them were bad.

There are rumors that Li Xianyun's excellent medical skills saved many people.

Some people say that Li Xianyun is a rare talented woman, and even the serious and demanding masters are full of praise.

Some people say that Li Xianyun is extremely beautiful and is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an.

There are more bad rumors, saying that Li Xianyun violates ethics and does not understand etiquette; that she is arrogant and arrogant; that her private tutoring is chaotic and unjust; that her moral character is deficient and rebellious; some even say that She is said to be naturally charming and specializes in seducing men...

Xiangrong was very curious about what such a woman looked like.

Finally, Xiangrong met Li Xianyun at a palace banquet.

Xiangrong followed Murong Ce to the palace banquet and stood with a group of maids and chambermaids.

There were many royal family members and their female relatives sitting in the huge palace. Xiangrong looked around, looking for Li Xianyun.

This is a royal family banquet. As the eldest daughter of Prince Rui, she should attend such a banquet.

However, there were so many female relatives attending the banquet, and it was really difficult to find someone whom they had not met before.

While scanning, Xiangrong saw an official lady, about fifteen or sixteen years old, sitting in the corner of the last row opposite.

She was bare-faced and dressed in elegant clothes. She stood out among the official ladies with heavy makeup. She was so beautiful that it was difficult for people to ignore her even in such a remote corner.

The official ladies around her were talking and laughing, but she was the only one sitting there, picking up a tea cup and sipping tea, or looking at a spot on the table in a daze.

She has a quiet orchid-like temperament about her, which becomes more gentle and charming in the soft light.

She is like the bright white crescent moon in the sky that feels out of reach, and like the fragrant lotus in the lotus pond that can only be viewed from a distance but not played with.

It's hard not to like such a woman.

Even a woman is attracted by her beauty and temperament, let alone a man?

A bad premonition rose in my heart: Could she be Li Xianyun?

Xiangrong's eyes suddenly glanced at Murong Ce who was sitting on the high platform.

He sat on the high platform with the emperor and empress of the Later Tang Dynasty, as well as the prince and princess of the Later Tang Dynasty, which is enough to show that the Later Tang Dynasty valued and respected Murong Ce.

Xiangrong was surprised to find that Murong Ce was also looking at the woman, and the corners of his mouth even curved as he sipped the wine.

Xiangrong was stunned. She had never seen such a look on Murong Ce's face.

She had seen Murong Ce smile, but it was always a sneer. Many people suffered and lost their lives under his sneer.

But Xiangrong had never seen such a gentle smile like now.

Xiangrong looked at Li Xianyun seriously again. When a maid next to him saw this, she couldn't help but whispered: "Stop looking at Princess Xian, or you will be punished by the master."

Princess Xian is what the servants call Li Xianyun.

Xiangrong had heard before that the official family members in Kyoto were jealous of Li Xianyun's beauty and did not allow their servants to look at Li Xianyun. Some official ladies were even betrayed because their servants looked at Li Xianyun.
