9-5
represents
the
emperor
,
since
in
ancient
times
9
represented
honor
(
being
the
highest
odd
,
or
'
yang
',
number
)
while
5
signified
mediation
and
harmony
since
it
is
in
the
middle
amony
the
'
yang
'
numbers
.
When
put
together
, 9
and
5
signify
'
harmonic
honor
'.

Afterward
,
he
suddenly
stood
up
,
a
sword
against
the
neck
of
the
person
entering
,
Zhuo
Er
paled
: βYour Highness
β¦. your maidservant
only
forgot
to
take
away
the
tea
tray
β¦β
She
has just
received
Tuoba
Zhen
β
s
jade
pendant
,
she
was
too
ecstatic
,
that
she
forgot
to
remove
the
tray. I
f
she
returned
,
of
course,
there
wa
s
no
way
for
her
to
explain
this
to
the
house
steward
.
Seeing
that
Tuoba
Zhen
had
relaxed
,
Zhuo
Er
breathed
a
sigh
of
relief
,
Dianxia
seemed
to
like her
,
therefore
he
wouldn
β
t
do
anything
to
her.
However,
in
the
next
moment
,
with
a
sweep
of
Tuoba
Zhen
β
s
hand
,
her
head
had
fallen
off. Her expression still showed shock, making the scene extremely terrifying.
β
Take
her
away
,β
Tuoba
Zhen
glanced
at
the
b.l.o.o.d.y
floor
and
felt
only
disgust
.
A
reckless
woman
,
actually
wanted
to
compare
herself to
Li
Wei
Yang
.
Li
Wei
Yang
did
not
attract
his
attention
merely because
of
her
beauty
,
what
he
liked
wa
s
her
distinctive
personality
and
cleverness;
even
for her
domineering
fierceness
,
there wa
s still
a
distinct
flavour
to
it
.
In
comparison
,
Zhou
Er
just
has
the
shape
but
without her
mind
nor
her
personality; she was
just
like
a
doll
.
Tuoba
Zhen
β
s
gaze
landed
on
the
face
that
had
already
lost
its
vitality. She
resembled
Li
Wei
Yang
,
his
gaze
,
like
the
slow
sharpening
tip
of
a
sword
,
gradually
developed
a sharp
edge
.
Right
now
he
has
a
strange
hatred
towards
Li
Wei
Yang
.
What
he
hated
her
most
, wa
s
that
she
dared
to
look
at
other
men
.
He
became
more
conscious
of
the
importance
of
power
.
He
secretly
decided
in
his
heart
that
when
he
ascended
to
the
9-5
1
,
even
if
he
has
to
turn
the
world
over
,
it
must
be
to
his
satisfaction
.
When
Li
Wei
Yang
saw
Wei
Guo
Furen
,
she
was
sitting
in
a
daze
before
Gao
Min
β
s
bed.
T
hen
when
she
turned
around
,
she
can
see
that
her
usual
dignified
,
domineering
,
imposing
manner
has
disappeared
completely. Her
cheekbones
that
appeared
high
seemed
gaunt
at
this
time and
both
cheeks
also showed signs of slight sadness
.
That pair of eyes
,
that
had
always
made
Li
Wei
Yang
feel
uncomfortable
with the arrogance in her eyes
, we
re
swollen
from
crying and
the
chaos
in
her
pupil
made
it
seem even
larger
.
Unsure
of
whether
it
wa
s
due
to
too
much
energy
being
spent
on
her
grief
,
her
hair
seemed
to
have
grown
more
strands
of
white
hair
,
and
matched with her sullen face
,
it
made
her
entire
person
seem
even
more
dejected
.
Li
Wei
Yang
sighed
.
This
mother
and
daughter
pair
only
had
themselves
to
blame. S
he had
already
verified
that
it
was
the
two
of
them
who
sowed
discord
in
front
of
Concubine Zhang De
,
which
stirred
Concubine Zhang De
into
taking
actions
to
get
rid
of
her
.
If
they
did
not
use
such
despicable
means
to
harm
her
,
then
they
wouldn
β
t
have
fallen
to
this
point
.
Gao
Min
β
s
entire
backbone
had
been
broken
,
even
if
she
is
forced
to
survived
,
she
could
only
live
the
rest
of
her
life
on
a
bed
for this lifetime.
A
beautiful
future
had
been
ruined
like
this
,
for
a
proud
and
arrogant
Gao
Min
,
it was
more
unbearable
than
death
.
Sun
Yan
Jun
,
who
came
with
Li
Wei
Yang
,
pushed
her
slightly
,
indicating
that
she
should
stand
behind
her
and
then
following
Sun
Yan
Jun
in
, she spoke words of consolation
: β
Wei
Guo
Furen
,
I
know
that
you
are
very
sad
over
Miss
Gao
β
s
accident
,
but
you
must
also
cherish
your
own
body
!β
Wei
Guo
Furen
was
in
a
trance. H
earing
her
say
this
she
wiped
a
tear;
as
if
waking
up
from
a
dream
, she
murmured
: β
Poor
Min
Er
.β
Then
suddenly
she
raised
her
head
,
staring
fixedly
at
Li
Wei
Yang
,
she
said
angrily
: β
Why
are
you
here
!β
In
her
eyes
,
Li
Wei
Yang
is
the
enemy
who
harmed
her
daughter
,
she
couldn
β
t
wait
to
pounce
and
tear
her
up
,
but
seeing
Zhao
Yue with her cold expression,
as she held her sword
behind
Li
Wei
Yang
,
Wei
Guo
Furen
subconsciously
stopped
in
her
pace
.
Li
Wei
Yang
said
lightly
: β
Aunt
,
restrain
your
grief
.β
Hearing
those
words
,
Wei
Guo
Furen
β
s
immediately
showed
anger
and
said
bitterly
: β
Li
Wei
Yang
,
if
it
was
not
for
you
wanting
to
compete
with
Min
Er
,
how
could
she
has
fallen
to
this
point
,
all
of
this
is
because
of
you
β¦β
Sun
Yan
Jun
looked
at
Wei
Guo
Furen
with
sympathy
,
in
her
opinion
,
this
incident
really
doesn
β
t
have
much
to
do
with
Li
Wei
Yang
,
if
it
wasn
β
t
for
Gao
Min
being
overly
aggressive
,
Li
Wei
Yang
would
not
have
competed
with
her
,
besides
,
a
person
getting
injured
is
an
accident
,
just
as
she
was
about
to
say
something
,
Li
Wei
Yang
said
gently
: β
Miss
Sun
,
I
have
a
few
words
that
I
want
to
speak
with
A
unt
alone
,
would
you
mind
leaving
us
alone
.β
Sun
Yan
Jun
i
s
a
decent
and
understanding
girl
,
she
thought
Li
Wei
Yang
wanted
to
apologize
to
Wei
Guo
Furen
,
therefore
she
smiled
and
said
: β
Very
well
,
I
will
go
out
first
,
later
I
will
look
for
you
.β
Having
witnessed the plentiful facades
of
officials
β
daughters
, and being
born
of
military
lineage
,
she
greatly
admires
the
frankness
,
intelligence
and
courage of
Li
Wei
Yang
,
and
is
determined
to
befriend
her
.
Finis.h.i.+ng
,
Sun
Yan
Jun
left
the
tent
.
Wei
Guo
Furen
suddenly
felt
a
moment
of
bleakness
,
her
oldest
son
wa
s
dead
,
her
younger
son
is
a
good
-
for
-
nothing
,
her
daughter
is
left
with
only
half
a
life
,
her
husband
blamed
her
for
inciting
her
daughter
into
always
seeking
to
prevail
over
others
,
perhaps
at
this
moment,
he
even
hates
her
.
Her
methods
of
treating
the
servants
are
mean
even
under
normal
circ.u.mstances
,
aside
from
her
own
older
sister
,
there
is
no
one
in
the
family
that
she
can
speak
to
.
In
this
not
very
cold
night
,
facing
Li
Wei
Yang
whose
face
wa
s
like
water
,
she
suddenly
felt
a
bone
piercing
chill
.
Because
she
truly
felt
that
she
has
now
become
a
loner
.
β
Are
you
here
to
laugh
at
me
?β
Seeing
Li
Wei
Yang
,
Wei
Guo
Furen
β
s
dismal
mood
felt
like
frost
on
snow
.
β
Aunt
,
why
would
I
laugh
at
you
?
Biaojie
(
older
female
cousin
)
becoming
like
this
,
I
am
also
sad
for
her
.β
Not
only
is
Li
Wei
Yang
not
sad
but
she
also
felt
that
Gao
Min
had
brought
it
upon
herself
,
but
now
,
she
needed
to
continue
: β
I
understand
how you are feeling
,
but
there
is
one
thing
that
I
must
tell
you
,
the
incident
that
day
was
not
an
accident
.β
Wei
Guo
Furen
suddenly
raised
her
head
,
her
face
changing
drastically
: β
What
did
you
say
!β
Li
Wei
Yang
sighed
and
said
: β
I
originally
did
not
want
to
mention
this
incident
,
because
saying
it
would
implicate
many
people
,
but
if
I
don
β
t
say
it
,
I
would
feel
uneasy
in
my
heart
.β
β
You
hid
it
and
not
mention
it
is
because
you
cannot
say
it
?
Or
did
you
feel
that
I
am
incapable
,
and
cannot
inquire
about
this
incident
?β
Wei
Guo
Furen
could
feel
something
wa
s
off
and
stared
fixedly
at
Li
Wei
Yang
β
s
eyes
,
her
gaze
gradually
sharpening
.
Li
Wei
Yang
with
an
hesitant
look
,
opened
her
mouth
to
speak
,
but
still
hesitated
for
a
moment
: β
I
also
know
that
this
incident
cannot
be
hidden
from
you
β¦
but
if
I
tell
this
to
you
,
I
β
m
afraid
that
this
will
affect
your
relations.h.i.+p
with
Concubine Zhang De
β¦ since it caused this
kind
of
consequences
,
even
if
I
die
,
I
cannot
atone
for
that
sin
β¦
but
if
I
don
β
t
tell

also
afraid
that
you
will
be
kept
in

dark
forever

Hearing
this
,
Wei
Guo
Furen
β
s
face
suddenly
changed
,
her
voice
also
trembling
,
grasping
the
armrest
of
the
sandalwood
chair
as
if
she
wanted
to
stand
up
,
her
sleeve
gliding
across
the
tabletop
,
viciously
bringing
down
the
teacups
: β
What
did
you
say
?
Have
something
to
do
with
Concubine Zhang De
?
What
are
you
β¦.
trying
to
say
?β
Li
Wei
Yang
sighed
and
said
: βPalace
affairs are
complicated
, Concubine Zhang De
seems
kind
and
generous
on
the
surface
,
but
in
reality
she
is
a
narrow
-
minded
person
!
I
heard
that
you
have
constantly
said
bad
things
about
me
before
her
,
therefore
I
was
afraid
,
I
asked Seventh Prince
to
explain
on
my
behalf
,
but
Seventh Prince
came
back
only
to
tell
me
, Concubine Zhang De felt
that
you
are
trying
to
sow
discords
into
their
mother
and
son
relations.h.i.+p
, and thus
becoming
angry
with
your
actions
.
Aunt
,
you
do
know
,
Jiang
Guo
Gong
Residence
β
s
Er
Jiujiu
has
an
illegitimate
daughter
that
has
entered
the
Crown
Prince
β
s
residence
to
become
a
Ce
Fei
(
side
consort
)
, Concubine Zhang De
has
easily
connected
other
thoughts
,
she
felt
that
there
wa
s
collusion
between
Jiang
Guo
Gong
Residence
and
Bo
Chang
Hou
Residence
,
while
you
meant
well
, t
o
her
,
it
appeared
you
were
trying
to
drive
a
wedge
,
therefore
she
was
prepared
to
give
us
a
lesson
!
That
day
β¦
just
happened
to
be
Biaojie
β
s
bad
luck
!β
β
What
did
you
say
!β
This
remark
wa
s
just
like
a
thundershock
that
shook
apart
Wei
Guo
Furen
β
s
soul
.
She
wanted
to
staggered
up
,
her
body
raising
halfway
before
falling
back
down
to
the
chair
,
her
face
paling
even
more
,
her
eyes
dulling
,
shaking
nonstop
all
over
,
that
look
as
if
her
soul
had
suddenly
drained
away
.
These
words
we
re
originally
full
of
loopholes
,
but
Li
Wei
Yang
knew
,
saying
these
words
right
now
,
Wei
Guo
Furen
would
definitely
believe
it
,
and
what
more
,
she
will
trust
it
completely
.
She
continued
on
: βAunt
can
not
believe
me

but
I
hope
that
you
will
send
someone
to
investigate

Zuo
Yuan

s
background
,
as
the
deputy
commander
of
the
Imperial
Army
for
many
years
,
outstanding
martial
arts
and
excellent
archery
,
how
could
he
miss
a
shot
for
no
reason
,
as
it
happens
that
he
shot
in
our
direction

is
clearly

warn
us

β
No

This
is
not
possible

Guo
Furen

not
believe

Li
Wei
Yang
smiled
and
said
: βAunt

other
behind closed doors

eyes

outsiders

have
said
a
lot

bad
things
about

not
harmonious

the
way

paused

glanced
at
the
unconscious
Gao
Min

said
: β

more

deathly

tightly

Li
Wei
Yang

wa

not

on

Right
now
all
she
wa
s
doing
wa
s
just
telling
this
fact
to
Wei
Guo
Furen
, β
Because
I
am
also
a
victim
,
that
day
I
was
walking
the
horse
with
Ninth Princess
,
then
someone
used
a
tamed
eagle
to
scare
the
horses
,
I
almost
died
under
the
horse

s
hoof. T
he
culprit
behind
this
not
only
wanted
to
kill
Biaojie

but
also
wanted
to
raise
internal
fighting

us

Guo
Furen
opened
her
eyes
wide

A
layer
of
regret
arose
on
Li
Wei
Yang
β
s
face
: β
The
reason
why
Biaojie
raced
her
horse
with
me merely stemmed from
a
girl
β
s
desire
to
excel
over
others

we
do
not
have
any
deep
-
rooted
hatred
,
but
in
the
eyes
of
other
,
I
have
became
the
culprit
who
caused
Biaojie
to
be
injured

s
a
result
,
Uncle
would
not
say
it
,
but
in
his
heart
,
there
is
already
a
grudge
against
Father
,
in
the
imperial
court
,
our
families
have
always
been
supporting
each
other
,
now
if
we
have
a
fall
out
,
our
power
will
be
weakened. I
f
at
this
time
,
someone
exploits
the
situation

it
is
not
impossible

both
families
becoming
opposing
enemies

take
out

.β
Wei
Guo
Furen
slowly
leaned
back
against
the
chair
,
her
gaze
like
dying
embers
,
staring
at
the
top
of
the
tent
,
holding
her
hand
in
a
fist
forcefully
,
her
nails
piercing
into
flesh
: β
She
is
trying
to
sow
discord
,
but
what
she
said
is
a
fact
,
at
least
in
regards
to
the
real
person
who
harmed
my
daughter
,
she
did
not
lied
.
That
arrow
is
definitely
arranged
by
Consort Wu Xian
!β
There
wa
s
no
reason
for
Li
Wei
Yang
to
lie
about
this
point
,
because
if
at
that
moment
,
it
would
be
absolutely
impossible
for
her
to
escape
if
she
did
not
dodge
quickly
.
What
more
,
the
scene
at
that
time
,
both
of
the
girls
β
horses
were
racing
neck
to
neck
,
regardless
of
whether
the
other
party
wa
s
trying
to
kill
Li
Wei
Yang
or
Gao
Min
,
both
of
them
have
entered
into
danger
together
!
Wei
Guo
Furen
only
thought
that
Li
Wei
Yang
was
lucky
but
never
thought
that
she
was
already
prepared
for
this
,
after
all
,
who
in
this
world
would
risk
their
own
life
?
Even
more
impossible
to
devise
such
terrifying
trap
!
She
resented
Li
Wei
Yang
,
but
loathed
Concubine Zhang De
even
more
,
they
originally
wanted
to
borrow
her
hand
to
get
rid
of
Li
Wei
Yang
,
instead
were
harmed
by
the
killer
sent
by
her
!
Li
Wei
Yang
came
out
of
Wei
Guo
Furen
β
s
tent
,
looked
back
and
couldn
β
t
help
but smile slightly.
Zhao
Yue
felt
it
was
weird
: β
Xiaojie
,
why
did
you
do
this
?β
Li
Wei
Yang
smiled
and
did
not
answer
.
On
the
last
day
of
hunting
,
the
white
wolf
was
captured
by
Seventh
Prince
,
the
Emperor
was
happy
and
held
a
banquet
to
celebrate
.
This
was
originally
a
harmonious
banquet
,
but
chaos
came
out
of
the
banquet. A
palace
maid
was
actually
an
a.s.sa.s.sin
that
snuck
in
,
in
attempt
to
a.s.sa.s.sinate
the
Emperor
,
however
,
the
royal
palace
had
already
a.s.signed
experts
to
personally
protect
the
Emperor
and
the
important
concubines. T
hat
palace
maid had
just
pulled
a
knife
from
the
tray
and
was
immediately
discovered
by
someone
before
she
had
the
chance
to
take
action
and
was
captured
on
the
spot
.
The
Emperor
ordered
an
interrogation
,
that
palace
maid
slitted
her
own
neck
and
died
from
suicide
.
The
Emperor
was
enraged
and
ordered
someone
to
search
the
body
.
The
result
wa
s
that
an imperial pa.s.s
was
discovered
on
the
palace
maid
β
s
body
.
Upon
checking
the
imperial pa.s.s
,
it
actually
came
from
Concubine Zhang De
β
s
palace
.
At
that
moment
,
everyone
β
s
faces
changed
.
Concubine Zhang De
had
always
been
favoured
by
the
Emperor
,
still
standing
to
this
day
,
but
this
time
the
Emperor
was
furious
,
taking
the
imperial
pa.s.s
and
threw it hard
: βConcubine Zhang De
,
you
have
done
a
good
job
!β
Concubine Zhang Deβ
s
face
suddenly
became
pale
,
she
has
been
in
the
palace
for
a
long
time
,
she
wa
s
already
used
to
these
kind
of
matters
,
but
she
has
never
seen
the
Emperor
being
this
furious
before
,
that
she
fell
straight
to
the
ground
from
fright
of
this
sudden
mishap. She forgot her intelligence and quick wits and
knowing
how
to
explain
herself
,
cried
loudly
: βYour concubine
has
been
wronged
!
His
Majesty
, your concubine
has
been
wronged
!β
Li
Wei
Yang
watched
from
afar
,
a
trace
of
smile
appeared
on
her
face
.
Concubine Zhang Deβ
s
face
wa
s
full
of
tears
and
kept
saying
: β
His
Majesty
β
s
great
kindness
is
deep
,
how
could
your concubine
plot
against
His
Majesty
?!β
The
Emperor
has
experienced
many
changes
in
the
palace
,
often
falling
prey
to
others
β
machinations
since
childhood
,
that
what
he
loathed
and
feared
most
we
re
these
underhand
methods
.
Without
thinking
carefully
in
his
fury
,
he
shouted
: β
Take
Concubine Zhang De
away
,
to
be
dealt
with
.β
Once
the
words
came
out
,
everyone
was
shocked
.
β
Imperial Father
---β
Tuoba
Yu
quickly
stepped
out
,
then
suddenly
thought
,
no
matter
what
,
now
is
not
the
place
or
time
for
him
to
anger
the
Emperor
.
Even
if
he
wanted
to
address
the
injustice
for
his
Imper
ial Mother
,
he
still
has
to
wait
until
the
Emperor
β
s
thunderous
fury
disappeared
,
no
matter
what
is
said
now
,
he
would
not
listen
!
βConcubine Zhang De
has
definitely
been
wronged
!β
In
the
midst
of
this
discussion
,
suddenly
a
childish
voice
spoke
.
The
crowd
was
taken
aback
,
all
looking
at
Ninth Princess
,
Originally
Ninth Princess
has
deliberately
went
to
sit
with
Li
Wei
Yang
,
now
she
rose
from
her
seat
and
quickly
stepped
out
,
kneeled
on
the
ground
,
bowed
a
couple
of
time
and
said
: β
Imperial Father
must
not
decide
the
sins
of
Concubine Zhang De
based
on
a
single
imperial
pa.s.s
.β
Concubine
Rou
suddenly
stood
up
: β
His
Majesty
, Ninth Princess
is
still
a
child
,
she
does
not
understand
anything
!β
Ninth Princess
said
courageously
: β
Imperial Father
,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
here
,
how
hard
is
it
to
get
an imperial
pa.s.s
?
If
this
imperial
pa.s.s
is
really
from Concubine Zhang De
β
s
palace
,
why
would
she
let
that
person
wear
it
,
is she not
afraid
that
other
people
would know
?
This
is
a
set
up
!β
Everyone
lowered
their
head
,
of
course
they
could
see
that
this
is
a
set
up
,
however
in
front
of
the
Emperor
β
s
fury
,
no
one
dare
to
say
a
word
of
defense
for
Concubine Zhang De.
The
Emperor
looked
at
his
favourite
little
daughter
in
surprise
,
she
wa
s
not
particularly
close
to
Concubine Zhang De
,
but
today
she
suddenly
came
out
to
speak
up
for Concubine Zhang De.
Th
inking
about
it
,
the
relations.h.i.+p
between
Concubine Rou
and
Concubine Zhang De
wa
s
not on good terms
,
but
Ninth Princess
did
not
avoid
it
,
in
the
end
she
is
still
a
child
---
it
is
because
she
is
a
child
,
therefore
she
dared
to
say
what
others
do
not
dare
to
,
even
the
fact
that
the
Emperor
did
not
think
of
in
his
moments of
fury
,
she
actually
dared
to
say
it
in
public
.
Thinking
of
it
carefully
,
the
evidence
we
re
here;
such
clever
and
wise
Emperor
,
because
Concubine Zhang De
wa
s
respected
and
dear
to
him
,
therefore
he was
unable
to
take
such
blow
,
especially
when
angered
.
If
he
wronged
Concubine Zhang De
due
to
such
simple
set
up
,
even
if
he
made
up
for
it
in
the
future
,
a
rift
will
still
remain
,
especially
between
husband
and
wife
,
between
father
and
son
.
Having
thought
over
this
,
he
looked
at
the
earnest
gaze
of
Seventh Prince
who
i
s
watching
Concubine Zhang De
silently
,
his
face
calming
down
.
Concubine
Wu Xian
who
has
been
silent
this
whole
time
suddenly
opened
her
mouth
: β
Yes
,
His
Majesty
,
this
is
someone
who
is
jealous
that
Concubine Zhang De
has
received
His
Majesty
β
s
favor
,
therefore
they
deliberately
framed
her
,
you
must
investigate
carefully
,
to
ensure
you
did
not
wrong
Concubine Zhang De
.β
Concubine Zhang De
choked
with
tears
,
she
threw
herself
in
front
of
the
emperor
crying
,
both
hands
seizing
the
bottom
of
his
gown
and
begged
bitterly
: β
His
Majesty
, your concubine
would
never
dare
to
do
anything
that
would
harm
His
Majesty
!β
The
emperor
has
already
understood
everything
,
but
feeling
that
he
is
at
an
awkward
place
,
he
went
with
Concubine Wu Xian
β
s
words
to
get
out
of
the
awkward
situation
: βY
ou
should
rise
,
zhen
(emperor addressing himself in first person)
knows
.
You
should
return
and
rest
,
zhen
will
give
you
justice
.β
Then
,
turning
to
face
the
crowd
: β
The
banquet
cannot
continue
on
,
everyone
should
disperse
.β
Seventh Prince,
Tuoba
Zhen
wa
s
really
disappointed
,
he
really
hoped for
Concubine Zhang De's downfall
,
although
it
seemed
like
this
poorly
thought
out
plan
couldn't
shake
the concubine
β
s
position
,
but
as
long
as
a
seed
of
suspicion
wa
s
planted
in
the
emperor
β
s
heart
and
and roots had formed
, at
a
certain
point
of
time
,
it
will
play
a
significant
role
,
only
for
it
to
be
destroyed
like
this
today
.
He
glanced
at Ninth Princess
grudgingly
,
only
to
find
that
she
is
chatting
happily
to
Li
Wei
Yang
.
It
was
Li
Wei
Yang
who
taught
Ninth Princess
to
say
those
words
!
Tuoba
Zhen
wa
s
the
first
one
to
understand
!
His
fingers
,
unconsciously
tightened
even
more
,
almost
drawing
out
blood
.
