Mo Xuetong's eyes were cold. She lifted her head up high and did not avoid anyone's eyes as she looked at Yu Sirong quietly. Her expression was one of righteousness and calmness, completely different from the weak and cowardly image others had of her.
It was the first time she was showing her sharpness before everyone! It was the first time she was truly showing off her pride.
Some people were destined to be your enemies! Then, there was no need to avoid them. The enmity of the past and the hatred of today had made her understand one thing. That was, others might not let you live even if you gave way to them.
Everyone fell silent when she said that. They all looked at her and saw how straight she stood. Her eyes were as clear as pools of water and they shone with life as she looked at Yu Sirong coldly. She was calm and composed like a noble lady.
The people all felt convinced by her for some reason as they looked at Yu Sirong w
Mdm Qin came to her senses as well when she saw the Princess Royal speaking up for Mo Xuetong. She knew she had to do something or she would offend the princess as well. She looked at Yu Sirong gravely and then slammed her cane down on the ground heavily. She glared at Yu Sirong and said angrily, "Miss Yu, the Qin family has always been kind to you and Tong'er has always treated you as an elder sister. How could you do something like that? You were the one who slammed into the mountain yourself, but insisted that it was Tong'er who did it. Do you really want to doom her to death? Do you really think that no one would help her? Since you are so vicious, the Yu and Qin families will no longer have any more ties." This meant that she was standing on Mo Xuetong's side. Mdm Qin then looked at Mo Xuetong who was standing by the side. Mo Xuetong looked wronged and was biting her lips anxiously. However, she did not make a fuss nor cry and seemed lo
"Tong'er, you go and take a look by yourself. I spoke to the abbot earlier, so you can pick a few blossoms home to decorate. I am rather dumb and a young girl won't like what I pick. Tong'er, you better go pick by yourself." Mdm Qin was considered kind towards Mo Xuetong in front of others. As long as one did not cross the line, she was considered to be a very good elder. She was laughing and seemed to be in a good mood. She looked at the plum blossoms around her and patted Mo Xuetong's hand, gesturing for her to go and pick blossoms by herself. The plum blossoms in Qingliang Temple was very precious. Not everyone who wanted to admire them could, much less pick a few blossoms. "Aunt, will you go and take a look with me? You have such good taste." Mo Xuetong tugged on Mdm Yu's sleeves cutely. She looked as if she would not go if Mdm Yu did not accompany her. "Alright alright, Tong'er, go by yourself. I won't join in things that young girls do
"Is this my belly-binder?" A cold and indifferent voice could be heard from outside the crowd. A woman approached slowly. She was dressed plainly and did not look striking. In fact, her clothes were shabbier than all the ladies present. She did not look any different from some maids standing by the side who were dressed nicely. A noble lady living under someone else's roof should look like this! It had been two years since Wang Yun was thrown out by Mo Huawen. Mo Xuetong was only 10 then and she looked completely different in terms of size and appearance. The girl did look slightly familiar, so Wang Yun immediately turned to her and said affectionately, "Tong'er, I'm sorry. I did not mean to tell them about what happened between us. When you gave me this two days ago, I promised that I would not let you suffer. But I can't not say it today. It is alright. I will not look down on you. In the future, I will give you everything that I have and I will love yo
It was not very wise of Mdm Chen to take Yu Sirong around so flagrantly after what happened yesterday. As such, they had stood outside the crowd and did not draw much attention. As such, they had not seen how Wang Yun had thought Mo Lan was Mo Xuetong and failed at his plot against Mo Xuetong. They were hating Wang Yun for being so useless when Yu Sirong was suddenly dragged into the matter. How could she still stay calm? She wrenched herself out of Mdm Chen's grasp and pushed the people around her aside, charging into the crowd. She pointed at Wang Yun and scolded madly, "Who is the one who is giving you instructions to frame me like this." Her face was injured and her hair was messy. She was so angry that she had lost her mind. Her eyes were wild and she looked as if she was going to tear Wang Yun apart. This scared some of the madams and young ladies. Many of them backed away, looking at her in disdain. No matter what, Yu Sirong did not look at all lik
Feng Yuran did not stay for long. He only looked at her color and turned to leave, leaving behind a confused Mo Xuetong. Her lively eyes blinked. When had she become so close to the charming King Xuan? She had always treated him respectfully and distantly, but to be honest, she was grateful to him. He had saved her yet again. She wanted to distance herself from him but after saving her twice, she would not be able to keep a distance even if she wanted to. Feng Yuran had just left when Qin Yuxuan came. Qin Yuxuan came to inform her that they would leave Qingliang Temple in a while. No one was in the mood to stay after so many things happened. It was said that the Yu family had already left. Fortunately, Mo Xuetong did not have many things. Mo He had already packed up and Qin Yuxuan ordered the servants to take her things with them. Qin Yuxuan went up to Mo Xuetong when he saw that everyone was busy. He looked at her guiltily and
Mo Huawen visited Mo Xuetong when he heard that she had returned to Qingwei Garden. He only left when he saw that she was in good spirits. He had felt guilty towards his third daughter ever since Auntie Fang had been released. This was especially so when Mo Xuetong had not berated him but had been gentle and showed concern for his health. This made him feel even more ashamed. Auntie Fang had a vicious heart and had tried to hurt his daughter. However, he could only release her for the sake of the child in her belly. He could not explain this reasonably before Tong'er. As such, he did not go to Auntie Fang's Lihua Garden but headed straight back to his study. He spent the night there as well. Mo Xuetong had not yet recovered. She sent everyone out, leaving only Mo Ye in her room. She took out something and gave it to Mo Ye. After giving her orders and waiting for Mo Ye to leave, she laid down and rested.
Everyone in the Mo Manor was startled early in the morning! It was said that a huge fuss was made over the matter. There was a thief in the manor last night who had entered Auntie Fang's Lihua Garden and almost hurt Auntie Fang. Then, Old Sir had brought servants and rushed over to the garden and chased the thief away. However, for some reason, Old Sir had been so angry he dealt with a few of the maids and servants who served Auntie Fang. It was said that it was because they had not done a good job. There were a few people who had guessed that it would not be a major problem for Auntie Fang to become the main wife since Old Sir liked her so much. However, it did not seem like it now. Old Sir had ruthlessly dealt with the people serving Auntie Fang and sent her some people who did not look like servants. Instead, they looked more like guards. The new people did not look friendly and they were all tough and looked like they were not to be trif
The Mo Manor welcomed a few guests from the Qin Manor early in the morning. They were distant relatives of the Mo and were not very close. Even though they also had responsibilities in court, they could not be compared to Mo Huawen. They had used the excuse of visiting the old madam to visit since she was living in the Mo Manor and had brought a young master and a young lady with them. The madam of that family chatted with the old madam and got the young people to go out. Mo Yufeng had accompanied Qin Yufeng over coincidentally. One of them had mentioned meeting Mo Xuetong. As such, the crowd went to Mo Xuetong's Qingwei Garden excitedly under the lead of Mo Xuemin. Mo Xuetong had woken up a little late because of her poor health. She had just cleaned up and was about to go and greet the old madam when the crowd arrived. She did not approach them but waited under the eaves. Those who had come were related to the old madam. The
It was midnight when Feng Yuran came back from the palace that night. Under the light, Mo Xuetong's beautiful face looked pink, which he had been praying for for a long time. Although he was tired and dizzy, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Bai Yihao did not make a desperate bet. That day, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already sweating on his back.If Bai Yihao had threatened him with Tong'er's life...If, Bai Yihao was determined not to give up...If Bai Yihao wanted to get Tong'er even if he would destroy her...He would really don't know what to do!Fortunately, there were not so many "ifs". Fortunately, Bai Yihao let go in the end. Even though he had already known Bai Yihao's character, he was still very nervous and flustered at that time in that place. Caring too much disturbed the mind. In this life, Tong'er was his weakness, but it was the weakness that he was willing to have.
Looking at the confident Bai Yihao who had a smile in his eyes, Feng Yuran suddenly put on an enchanting smile. He squinted at him and asked, "Tong'er is smart. If she knew that it was your mother who poisoned her mother back then and the poison in Auntie Fang's hands was left by your mother, what would you do?"This was a fatal blow, and Bai Yihao hid it in his heart. He thought that no one would mention it!The smile froze on Bai Yihao's handsome face. For a moment, there was a hint of blood in the corner of his warm eye. He put away the smile on his lip corners and looked at Feng Yuran viciously. "You're really funny. How could that poison have something to do with my mother?"That was the topic he didn't dare to mention. He even felt guilty and his heart was even twisted."It's a strange poison, so it must have come from a strange place. There was no way for an ordinary concubine to get it. Even though Auntie Fang died in the r
Since Yan Kingdom had taken in some remainders of Ding General Manor, the country would definitely become the Qin Kingdom's enemy. Bai Yihao was the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom. On the surface, the only person in the Qin Kingdom who could suppress the troops of Ding General Manor was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. In the past, Fu General and King of Xian were on different sides of Ding General Manor. They seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in private, they held each other back.The war drew near. Feng Yuran bid farewell to Mo Xuetong and led the army to the border. It was winter, so it was a little cold. Mo Xuetong stood on a small mountain town outside the city gate and could not help crying with a handkerchief in her hand when she saw the purple general's robe disappear from her sight.Mo Xuetong felt sad and could not hold back her tears when she thought that he had to go to the battle field and could not sleep well. The war was urgent and he had to
Yan Empress heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Yanwen looking calm, she said politely, "That's right, that's right. I can't stay here any longer. I'll leave this to you." She was still the dignified Empress of the Yan Kingdom."Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Lan Yanwen lowered his head and bowed respectfully, which was no different from his usual attitude. Yan Empress waved her hand with satisfaction, took her people to get on the carriage at the back door and returned to the deep palace.Yan Empress left, surrounded by a large group of people. Lan Yanwen slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were inexplicably deep in the flickering light. He stared at the back of Yan Empress and walked to Princess Royal's body that was lying on the ground, speechless for a moment.The night was very quiet, as if the sound of people's breathing could be heard!After a long time, Lan Yanwen ordered, "Somebody, take Princess Royal Mingzhu out! Alo
It was Yan Empress's voice!In the dark, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to move. She bit her lips and even held her breath, hiding in the rockery. Although it was secluded, Yan Empress came with so many people, and she might find her. If Mo Xuetong fell into her hands, it would be terrible!"Sister Yunruo?" Princess Royal helped Nanny Qin to stand firm under the light. Looking at Yan Empress, who was protected by a group of secret guards and eunuchs, she slowly restored calmness.There was no guard around her, and the only person beside her was Nanny Qin, who knew nothing about martial arts. She was sort of alone now.Mo Xuetong also saw Lan Yanwen hiding in the dark beside Yan Empress. "He came as well?"This small courtyard of the Lan family gathered all kinds of powerful personage unexpectedly. It was quite lively."Sister Mingzhu, it's not easy for you to remember me. Why don't you come to my palace to have a
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen's neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, "Don't worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.""The old man won't suspect us, will he?" Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried."Don't worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can't tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!" The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen's handsome face, and she looked even more charming.However, as the two
With a thud, the memorials to the throne on the table were slammed to the ground, and Emperor Zongwen's face had darkened."Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Regardless of the memorials to the throne that were scattered all over the ground, Liu Xi hurriedly turned around to support Emperor Zongwen, who was about to fall down with one hand covering his chest. His usually calm face was filled with anxiety and panic."B*tch, that b*tch, how dare she... deceive me!" Emperor Zongwen's face was purple. He reached out to cover his chest and said a few words with difficulty. As he opened her mouth, he spat a mouthful of blood. Liu Xi only had time to cover his mouth with a handkerchief before he immediately became dispirited and was helped to sit on the throne."Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Even if you don't look out for yourself, you still have to consider His Highness," Liu Xi persuaded anxiously as he served E
In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong's mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.
Mo Xuetong did not use the Lan family's horse carriage. There was indeed a horse carriage sent from the Crown Prince's East Palace parked at the entrance. After they got on the horse carriage, Qing Zhu asked, "Miss, how did you know that the person is not the true head of the Lan family?" There was nothing different in air, deportment, or appearance between the man and the head of the Lan family."I am just an orphan daughter of the Lan family. Even if the Lan family values me, there is a limit. Even if I can enter the East Palace in the future and be favored by His Highness, it will still be a matter of the future. The Lan family does not lack beauties in their back courtyard. It is already a great honor for me to send Minister of Public Works to meet me. It is said that Minister of Public Works is the best husband in the hearts of the princesses," Mo Xuetong stated with a faint smile. She took the tea that Qing Zhu poured for her and took a sip before she leisurely re
