mao hour. The sky was gradually brightening. On the long street, Soldiers in armor stood guard every three steps and patrolled every five. The bluestone slabs, just washed with water, still had traces of dark red in their crevices. “Prince Anping was deceived by others, confused for a moment, and committed a grave error. I am deeply grieved and shall suspend court for ten days to bury him with the rites befitting a duke.” At the second quarter of the mao hour, Your…

Ruiyan, the young Lord you often praised at home is right before you. Why don't you come and pay your respects? As soon as Yu Bowen finished speaking, a woman in a lotus-colored dress stepped out from behind him. She glided forward, cast a shimmering glance, then immediately lowered her head like a startled fawn, her eyelashes fluttering. As she bowed and curtsied, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks at just the right moment. She looked every bit the young noble lady, with a…

“Your speed is too slow.” “Your intentions are too obvious.” “Your force is scattered, not focused.” Inside the courtyard, Ding Suian moved like a swimming dragon. Wherever Kunwu passed, whether it was a weapon or a body, it was severed upon contact. The thieves who came tonight, apart from that leader who likely had the strength of the peak of the Manifesting Elemental State, were mostly greenhorns who had just entered the Manifesting Elemental…

It was the Hour of the Rat, the dead of night. Xingning Ward was completely silent. Dozens of figures, shielded by the heavy darkness, crept silently toward the outer wall of the Jiang family residence. *Thud, thud.* With a few faint sounds, several grappling hooks caught onto the top of the wall. One by one, the men nimbly climbed over, landing with almost no noise. Clearly, they were well-practiced in the business of scaling walls and breaking into courtyards. The leader stood…

Ding Suian, having changed into casual clothes, and his colleagues filed out of the Nine Gates Patrol Yamen, cupping their hands in farewell before heading home to their respective families. The setting sun melted into gold. It gilded the blue bricks and dark tiles of this majestic City with a soft, golden edge. The streets remained lively; peddlers and porters hawked their wares, children chased each other at the alley entrances, and the aroma of food and the chatter of diners…

At the end of the mao hour. When Ding Suian arrived at Chilao Alley carrying deep-fried dough sticks, Old Ding was sitting alone in the courtyard with a bowl of clear water on the stone table and a cold steamed bun in his hand. "It's so early, why are you here?" "Eat this~" Ding Suian placed the deep-fried dough sticks on the stone table and said, "Dad, take a day off today." Upon hearing this strange request from his son, Old Ding neither showed a puzzled…

May 2nd, the Hour of Xu. Lu Zihong, having undergone a simple disguise, sat in a secret room within Prince Anpings Estate, calmly observing the others. The person in military uniform was Shi Hunan, the Commander of the Prince's guards. Another middle-aged man, wearing the green robes of a seventh-rank official, was the Prince's Chief Clerk. Besides these two, there was a person dressed as a steward in a black silk robe with coin patterns, whom Lu Zihong did not…

'Creak~' The door of the second hall opened, and Xu Jiuxi walked out with a swaying, serpentine waist. Ding Suian, who was guarding the door, immediately craned his neck to look inside, seeing Lin Hansu standing alone at the desk, her figure calm and still. His heart eased slightly, and he turned to enter. Xu Jiuxi, however, blocked the doorway, showing no intention of letting him pass. Ding Suian paused, then shifted his gaze from Lin Hansu to look…
