Chapter 65: Yuan Jinjin Intercedes

Prince Xuan never expected Lady Yuan to be so audacious as to plot against the Empress.
Having done the deed, she was foolish enough to leave evidence behind so easily.
An absolute fool!
Yet, he still held lingering affection for Yuan Jinjin, so he bent down and helped her to her feet.
"Jinjin, you must know what crime it is to plot against the Empress—it is a crime punishable by the extermination of the nine familial clans. It is already immensely difficult for me to protect you, and your mother can by no means be saved."
Yuan Jinjin understood as well.
After securing both the red and blue buffs, neither jungler initiated an immediate gank. Having clashed through the previous two games, both sides had grown much more cautious. While vulnerabilities still existed, seizing them was simply too perilous.
The vast collection of earth-type elemental stones harvested yesterday was packed entirely into Yue Li's storage pouch. They would figure out how to use them later before taking them out.
Xie Xueshang's camouflage-clad subordinates were all fierce-looking fellows. Crowded around the pastry platter, they devoured fruits, peanuts, and pastries, scattering fruit pits, melon seed shells, and paper boxes everywhere in a disorderly mess. Hearing the invitation to take their seats, one of them grumbled, "We've been smelling the rich aroma of meat for ages; why are we only opening the feast now? We're so starved our chests are sticking to our backs."
The Princess of Shadow held the bottle, which was actually radiating a faint Buddhist light, and the liquid sprayed from it exuded the very scent of the Buddha.
"Are all these numerous peaks of Changbai Mountain occupied?" The two from Jiangdong left the Chicken Tribe and flew northward. Peak after peak stood like pillars supporting the heavens, full of a dreamlike quality; bathed in sunlight, it would undoubtedly be an immortal wonderland.
Bradley surged forward aggressively, his robust physique seemingly capable of sending the slightly slender Yi Jianlian flying.
In the end, Westbrook utilized Adams's screen to drive into the midrange, scoring a jump shot under Yi Jianlian's timely contest. Although Westbrook made the shot, Coach Carlisle was not worried in the least.
By this time, Mu Jing's ultimate ability had cooled down. Diving a Troll's turret alongside Gnar posed virtually no problem; the only thing to watch out for was not exposing himself too early, lest the Troll spot him and bolt in sheer fright.
If only Gu Qing were here. He was so clever; he surely would have guessed who was hunting them down and thought of a countermeasure. Neither she nor Shen Yibai would have fallen into their current wretched plight.
For if such a massive horde of dark-colored tigers were to fall prostrate at their feet, they could harvest a mountain of magical beast cores—in other words, elemental stones. Moreover, since dark-colored tigers belonged to middle-to-high-tier magical beasts, the quality of their elemental stones went without saying.
Though somewhat envious of their brothers who got to step into the spotlight and show off, they also knew meat was scarce while wolves were many. Venturing down might not yield any opportunity to intervene, so staying above to record video footage and secure evidence was far better.
Although both cities bordered the imperial capital, the area where the latter stood was a gathering place for the nobility and high-ranking officials of the Great Yu. If Chu Ling wanted to understand the workings of the Great Yu's central government, going there was the most suitable choice.
Noticing my resistance, she did not press further, instead remarking that there was plenty of time and no need to rush for a reply within a moment or two.
This Benjamin was much cleverer than the average person, yet he was terrified of death—deeply terrified of death; otherwise, he would not have betrayed Alomi so easily.
Emma's expression was utterly tragic. Finishing her words, she scrambled up, stumbled toward one side, and then hurled herself forward, smashing her head heavily against a large boulder. The sound of her skull colliding with the stone echoed like a muffled drum.
Others on both sides also produced envelopes, uttering auspicious phrases such as wishing the Qin Jiang Night Market a grand and booming opening.
Upon entering the cadre residential compound, many people saw Shen Guo Wang also wearing a military uniform and walking alongside Gu Ye and the others. Mistaking him for someone from the provincial military district, they greeted Gu Ye and asked about him.
At the Ji family agency, Ji Mingyue cradled her laptop, gazing blissfully at the financial report detailing the decline in market share of the Ling family enterprise.
Yet Lu Yao paid no heed to her words. Looking at the scene before her, she felt somewhat dazed, experiencing a mix of anticipated and unexpected emotions.
