Even if Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign could not cure, who else is in this world could?
Bai Yun Xian's diagnosis gave the Emperor a huge relief, he felt as though a huge boulder was lifted off his shoulders.
Jun Xian whispered his thanks with a pale face as he silently sank bank into his seat. Those with sharp eyes noted his hands holding onto his wine cup was trembling.
Looks like Jun Qing's condition was really hopeless, look, even Jun Xian's hands were shaking! Indeed his hands were trembling but it never crossed their minds that it was not due to grief but due to him holding back his own laughter.
If it wasn't for the situation at hand, he could not wait to shout out to the whole world and tell them that his son's poison had already been completely cleared by his brilliant granddaughter! Not only that, his son would soon be able to walk again! Qing Yun Clan…was simply.. to simply put it they were simply ****!!!
Just his granddaughter alone could clear the poison that the Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign deemed hopeless, under the guidance of an esteemed master. This Bai Yun Xian actually had the audacity to say that her Master's solution was the best and if he could not cure it, no one else could! Hmph!
Previously he had admired the Qing Yun Clan fervently, however after seeing with his own eyes how his granddaughter easily did what their Sovereign could not accomplish, he had lost all his respect for the clan and scoffed at them instead.
Other than his family's Wu Xie, who else dares to say that they are best in the world?!
Jun Xian looked around at the reaction of the crowd and swore in his heart that after the comeback of his Lin Palace, he would make these guys know where they stand! He couldn't wait to see their expressions after they knew the truth!
For now, he played a distraught man.
Jun Wu Xie simply admired her own grandfather and uncle for their acting skills and gave them full points.
After completing the task, Bai Yun Xian went back to the Second Prince's side. He immediately looked at her gently and said: "Yun Xian, you've worked hard."
Bai Yun Xian smiled sweetly back.
"You really are a romantic at heart dear brother, looks like your feelings run deep." The silent Crown Prince suddenly spoke up, with a pair of sharp eyes staring intently at Mo Xuan Fei.
"Big Brother, you really know how to joke." He did not know why his brother suddenly praised them.
"Well, I don't know if this romantic you is a bit too irresponsible, favouring the new over the old is not the style of our Royal Family. Now here you are acting all lovey dovey with Miss Bai, have you ever thought about the feelings of others?" Mo Qian Yuan sneered.
Mo Xuan Fei's face stiffened.
Even a fool knew what Mo Qing Yuan meant as all eyes subconsciously shifted to Jun Wu Xie who had been neglected the whole night.
The infamous lady in question was surprisingly really quiet tonight, if not for the Crown Prince mentioning her, everyone had almost forgotten about her presence.
Mo Xuan Fei and Jun Wu Xie were betrothed, however after the appearance of Bai Yun Xian, Mo Xuan Fei no longer met up much with Jun Wu Xie and not long ago, the Emperor even broke their engagement.
When their engagement was broken off, the incident sparked a major uproar that spread beyond the State of Qi. Everyone had been anticipating the trouble she would bring with her, however she had instead remained low-key and disappeared for such a long time. In fact, this was the first time people had seen her after that incident.
Although she was more beautiful now, somehow they felt that there was something different about her from the past.
In the whole country, it could be said that she was one of the finest beauties. However with her brash,fiery,rude and arrogant personality it conflicted with her outward appearance. Today she was sitting quietly in the corner made her seem like totally different person!
Misty Cloud Translations: In the beginning it was emphasized that she was not a beauty however it changed after awhile. My guess is that… after she went through the whole lotus seed conditioning, her complexion had improved and she looked fresher too. In many other novels usually such changes will let them have virtually poreless skin almost akin to a baby’s skin. So think models without the photoshop and without makeup.
Also her demeanor is now different so the charisma she exudes now makes her more poise. And also she’s still growing, there’s this chinese saying “女人十八变” which if you do a search these are the literal :a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood (idiom) and not so literal: girl changes fast in physical appearance from childhood to adulthood.
Also, it had been emphasized over and over again how horrid the previous Wu Xie’s character was so perhaps her personality really was so bad that her beauty did not matter. No one wanted to have anything to do with her…
Jun Wu Xie sat there quietly with a pair of downcast eyes, without putting anyone in her sight as she sat there detached as if the commotion had nothing to do with her. She was austere and alone in a world of her own.
Elegant, pure and transcendent beauty were words that immediately appeared in their minds.
Those words which were initially tailored for Bai Yun Xian now seemed to fit her better.
Her reserved demeanor made her unapproachable but made one's heart long to keep looking at her.
Although they hate to admit it but truthfully, the quiet Jun Wu Xie no matter in terms of demeanour or charm had risen significantly.
She had been very low-key, too low in fact that people had almost forgotten all about her but after placing her in sight and noticing her subtle changes, they could not help but be attracted to her.
Sneaking a peek at Jun Wu Xie and shifting their gazes to Bai Yun Xian…
Bai Yun Xian didn't seem to be as elegant as they had previously thought.
It looks like the real ice cold elegant goddess position would be given to Jun Wu Xie. It was time for Bai Yun Xian to step down.
"Qian Yuan, you are drunk." The Emperor frowned, he did not understand why the usually silent Crown Prince would suddenly speak up for Jun Wu Xie. He clearly remembered that this was only the second time they had met and previously when they met, Mo Qian Yuan did not have a good impression of her.
"Ah, yes, I'm drunk. Your son had drank too many cups of wine, I've let Imperial Father seen something funny. Please allow me to go back and rest first." Mo Qian Yuan straightened himself up as he let out a faint smile.
"Go." The Emperor bellowed.
Mo Qian Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately got up, raising his hand and waving away the servants who wanted to assist him. He narrowed his eyes as he hissed: "I still can walk myself, no one is to allowed to touch me!"
The manner which the Crown Prince left had instilled discontent in many.
Jun Wu Xie looked at his departing back as she pondered for a while amidst the toasts that were going on around, she spoke to her Uncle in a soft tone: "Uncle, I want to go out for some fresh air."
Jun Qing was surprised for a moment, thinking back on how this niece of his was devoted to Mo Xuan Fei and looking at how lovey dovey he was with Bai Yun Xian now, she must be feeling miserable. He sighed loudly and said: "Go have a walk around but do not leave this Palace Wing. Don't stay out too long."
"Alright."
"Wu Xie."
"Yes?"
"Don't be so sad over Mo Xuan Fei. He does not deserve you."
"....." Jun Wu Xie's steps froze midway.
How did he come to that conclusion? Which eye did he use and see that she was upset over that scum Mo Xuan Fei?
The moonlight streamed into the garden and brightly illuminated the pavilion which Mo Qian Yuan was as he chugged down wine straight from the jug. He was sitting on the stone chair as he smiled bitterly by himself.
"If you want to die early, go ahead and drink more!" A tender voice with a coldness broke the tranquility of the still night.
Mo Qian Yuan was very surprised. Under the moonlight, a beautiful young maiden dressed in a lovely yellow silk brocade holding a little black cat in her arms stood there. Surrounded by flowers and with the moonlight gently shining on her body, her delicate features against the surreal background, she looked like a fairy that had descended into the mortal realm.
"Jun Wu Xie?" Mo Qian Yuan's lips curved upwards as he looked at her in a drunken stupor.
"I was still wondering who had the audacity to curse me, the Crown Prince to die early?"
Jun Wu Xie walked towards the pavilion, as the stench of alcohol assaulted her. She stopped just before entering the pavilion.
"Even if I don't mention it, you will also die…moreover…how long more will you be able to stay as the Crown Prince?" She replied icily.
