Chapter 1256: The Red Spider Lily Does Not Exist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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.

“I wonder… what the Queen was like?” Jun Xiqing murmured.

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 couldn’t ignore.

With the mention of the Queen, Murong Ling instantly behaved secretively. He lowered his voice and whispered, “Qingqing, have you heard of… Ah Jiao’s Room?”

Ah Jiao’s 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 Jiao’s Room were all practically walking aphrodisiacs, men would be totally mesmerized and fall head over heels for them.

It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that all women in Ah Jiao’s Room were like that.

“Of course!” Jun Xiqing nodded her head vehemently.

“Ha.” Murong Ling laughed. “It only took Ah Jiao’s Room this many years to make its name known. It satisfied the desires of men and became a legend.”

“But what does the Ah Jiao’s Room have to do with the Queen? Could it be that…” Jun Xiqing had an outrageous thought in her mind.

Murong Ling nodded. “Ah Jiao’s Room was founded by the Queen.”

Jun Xiqing’s pupils dilated.

“Thirty 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 couldn’t their eyes off of her.

“As long as men saw her, they would be bewitched. Men finally found out that she was from Ah Jiao’s Room and only after that Ah Jiao’s Room was made known quickly…

“A beauty like her would naturally invite the jealousy of other women. As compared to the chaste Holy Lady, she was a devious woman.”

So the Queen had been known as a ‘devious woman’! 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 didn’t really resemble Murong Jiancheng at all.

There was only one other possibility, Lu Yeming had inherited his mother’s genes. With that thought, it meant that the Queen must be a ravishing beauty.

“Feng Lingxue used to be the top hostess of Ah Jiao’s 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 Queen’s dance yet, that was rumored to be out of this world…”

Jun Xiqing had seen Sister Lingxue’s aerial dance before, it was really beautiful. She hadn’t expected the dance to be created by the Queen. It was a pity, she had no chance to witness the Queen’s dance.

Many years later, the Queen’s dance also became a legend.

“Third Prince, has the Lord been bewitched by the Queen before?”

Murong Ling shook his head. “I don’t 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 doesn’t appear. If the Lord finds her, he’s going to rip her to shreds.”

Really…? Jun Xiqing wasn’t convinced, could the Lord even bear to do that?

Fan Men suddenly spoke. “Master.”

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.

“West Duke, how did it go between you and our father?” 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 Ling’s direction. “Get off.”

What?

“West Duke, how can you be so heartless!” Murong Ling protested.

Lu Yeming’s face darkened.

Murong Ling quickly raised both hands and surrendered. “Fine, I’ll leave. Goodbye, Qingqing.”

Jun Xiqing waved at him. “Goodbye, Third Prince.”

Lu Yeming remained expressionless. “Drive.”

…

The luxury car was speeding on the road and Jun Xiqing looked at the man beside her. “West Duke, where are we going?”

Lu Yeming looked outside of the window. “We’re going to visit Mo’er.”

The moment he said this, his voice suddenly became really gentle.

…

Gu Mohan had purchased an apartment for Tang Mo’er 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 Mo’er 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 Mo’er’s 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 Mo’er looked at the screen, it was an unknown number.

Who could it be?

She answered the call. “Hello.”

“Hello, Miss Tang.” It was a woman’s voice on the other end.

The woman’s voice was gentle, but she sounded a little aged, around her 40s. “Hello, who is this?”

“It does not matter. I’m calling you to let you know about something.”

“What is it?”

“Are you interested to know about the West Duke’s parentage?”

Tang Mo’er’s heart gave a loud thump. Yeming’s parentage?

“Miss 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, he’s the crown prince of Country A.”

When she heard the news, Tang Mo’er’s pupils contracted, everything searing into her mind in an instant.

What?

Yeming wasn’t her biological younger brother?

No.

That was impossible.

“Miss 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 family’s last name. He wants to continue using Lu Yeming’s identity to stay by your side.”

Tang Mo’er felt a twinge in her chest, her eyes reddened and she balled her hands into fists. “What’s your purpose in telling me this?”

There wasn’t any reply on the other end, Tang Mo’er’s response was unexpected.

Tang Mo’er smirked. “I won’t believe you, even if what you just said is true, he will always be my younger brother. You know that he loves me and I’m his weakness, that I make him vulnerable. If you’re trying to use me to harm him, don’t bother trying!”

“Miss Tang, the Manjusaka is not real. The Red Spider Lily does not exist.”
