Sssss–
The sound of brocade cloth tearing in the silence of the night was like a sharp knife tearing Qing Feng’s clothes and also her dignity. His frivolous wanton eyes lingered on her body and with one hand caressing her and the other hand that was chocking her neck now streak across her right shoulder, towards her chest…
Haishi (modern timing: 9 – 11pm) came and after Gui Momo gave her a satisfied look, a captivating red cloak was thrown over her. After much thoughts, Gui Momo retrieved a red veil and place it on her head. The extremely thin gauze veil did not affect Qing Feng’s vision, but to those who see her, this hazy look increase her charm and made others more curious.
When Gui Momo sent her out of ShuQingChi, a four-manned sedan was already within the courtyard. After Qing Feng sat in the sedan, the four guards lifted the sedan and proceeded towards the east. Their footsteps were extremely quick but fortunately the sedan was very stable and Qing Feng was not able to feel any bumps along the way. Her trembling hand caressed her hair and felt the knife hidden in her hair. Her heart is currently beating frantically because the man she will be facing is the overlord of the six kingdoms, Emperor of Qiong Yue, a cold blooded monarch and also for the excitement of being able to take revenge for her parents and sisters!
“Miss, please have your meal.”
Fu Ling looked at the four dishes and soup that was place on the table and is unsure if she should be happy or sad for this Miss Qing. Since the incident onwards, the Imperial Kitchens had served exquisite cuisines for the pass continuously for the past two days. Eunuch Xu is absolutely not a virtuous type. With him being so responsive, he should be up to no good.
I think the hardest thing to translate are dishes name. The English translation does not show the flare of elegance of the Chinese names. It doesn’t sounds as good or exquisite to eat in the English form… 😦
Ce Míng Palace is located at the middle of the entire palace. It is considered to be place which connects the Inner Palace and the Front Hall and gathering place for most of the lower ranked eunuch and palace maid. There were numerous comings and goings but it was unusually quiet. Everyone is accustomed to walk in a hurried pace with heads bowed.
Fu Ling walked on this long palace alley numerous times, however this time it appears to made her feel ill at ease. Not because of anything but because of the plain white figure walking in front of her.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Hope our 2016 will be an awesome year!!!
Its actually quite confusing reading about the swap identities… I had to reread so many times just to get it straight (and also triple checked to ensure correct names were translated!) Everyone thinks that Qing Feng is Qing Ling and as such, she is always referred as Qing Ling by everyone.
This chap mainly provides Fu Ling’s perspective… So be prepared to be confused… 😛
Fu Ling opened the food basket, that was received from the young eunuch, and just as expected, the meals from three days before were meat and fish dishes with hot broth has turned to meagre tasteless meals. Most of people in the Imperial Palace have the power to influence, thus this type of occurrence happens daily. Fu Ling, who was already used to it, lightly covered the food basket and walked towards the courtyard.
Qing Ling’s shadow can been seen by the half opened sliding window like before. For the past three days, she has often stood at the window with her eyes fixed on the lush Chinese parasol tree within the courtyard.
Thanks for the overwhelming support! I was totally surprised to see the all the comments and likes! It is very motivating. 😀
The surrounding darkness, the death-like silence and the cold feared and tormented her. Qing Feng enclasped her hands so hard that her fingernails dug into her palms. At present it was only the pain that could keep her cool an calm. The surrounding darkness, like a black hole, would eventually be swallowing her up.
Suddenly, the surrounding darkness was replaced by maroon, the redness that reeks of the scent of blood, overcame her —
Pouring rain accompanied by the roar of the thunder and strong winds blew the broken window side to side, causing it to crackle noisily. At a side compound of a ruined temple, three young females wearing red bridal dresses were huddling together. This dark and sinister place couple with the stale air all around the temple made the scene looked especially eerie.
As there were no lights in room, the occasional lightning would illuminated the ruined temple. Each sword-like lightning flash seems to strike the ground emitting a glaring white light, and accompanied with the deafening sound of the thunder, seems to make the youngest female cower in fear.

This is my first attempt in translating so… Please be kind… 😀
Summary from Baike…
他是六国霸主，只要他想，铁骑随时可以踏平任何一个国度。
她是名满天下的青家才女，只因为他的一句话，就害得她家破人亡。他想要驯服她，她始终不肯臣服于他。
两个同样倔强的人，他们之间无关情爱，注定纠缠一世，不死不休。他以为他要的是她屈膝臣服，可是当她跪倒在他脚下时，他为何索然无味？
她以为她最想要的是他的命，可是当他口吐鲜血躺在她怀里，只问了一句 “你为何回来？” 时，她为何却泪如雨下？
这样的他们，能否相互执手一生？
后宫疑云密布，黄金大劫案、宫女沉尸案、皇子早夭之谜、太子身世之谜…… 迷雾重重，扣人心弦！
