Yu Feng arrived early the next morning, and Mo Huawen received him in the living hall. Mo Huawen looked up, only to find an old eunuch sitting beside Yu Feng, thus, he smilingly greeted them by asking, "I'm wondering which palace you come from."
The old eunuch slightly raised his head and glanced at Mo Huawen, answering, "Consort Yu of Caiwei Palace sent me to see her long lost older sister. Will you do me that favor?"
"As expected, Consort Yu sent him." Mo Huawen coldly smiled. Since taking office, he had been smooth in handling all kinds of affairs, therefore, he immediately saved the guest's seat for the old eunuch and seated himself in the place of the host.
Yu Feng directly cut to the chase, ignored the manners, and rudely put his teacup on the table. "Sir Mo, you haven't elaborated on the thing about my younger sister yet. My sister has always been nice, and how could she be so cruel to hurt her baby? A woman relies heavily on her chil
Mo Huawen had been sitting coldly by the side as if he had been an outsider. At this time, he looked up with a blank face. He knew Yu Feng was suppressing him with Consort Yu's power, however, he had to kowtow to that power because he wasn't a royal officer. Consort Yu was a consort in the palace, and now, she considered Auntie Fang from her parents' home. If something bad really happened to Auntie Fang, Consort Yu would definitely demand an explanation. Mo Huawen didn't believe Auntie Fang's words in the least. He was on the scene that day and saw how Auntie Fang pretended to be drunk, how she defended herself, and how she pushed the blame onto a maidservant. She did those without the slightest hesitation. This time, she brought this up because she estimated that he couldn't possibly shun from the incident. Hence, right now, he hated Auntie Fang very much. Yu Feng, too, stepped forward and sincerely stared at Mo Huawen. "Sir Mo, anyway, since such a thin
Eunuch Wei shot a glance at Auntie Fang and received her signal. Then, he solemnly pointed at Qingwei Garden and said in a serious tone, "Here, here it is. I feel evil things." Mo Huawen was choked with anger. If not for his good manners, he would have driven them out directly! As expected, they made trouble at Tong'er's place again. It looked like the wicked woman Auntie Fang wouldn't stop before she killed Tong'er. With a sneer, he stood before the garden to stop Yu Feng. "Sir Yu, this is my daughter's yard. How can you, a man, enter my daughter's house?" Eunuch Wei interrupted with a smile. "Sir Mo, he's not alone. He's with us, a group of people. Moreover, we're investigating. And, Sir Yu is a close relative, not a stranger." "Close relative! Who's close with this wicked man?" Mo Huawen was raged. Clenching his teeth, he said coldly, "Auntie Fang is just a nobody in the manor. Since when is a concubine's relat
Hearing the nanny's scream, everyone turned back in shock. It turned out that the pouch got loose. Blown by the wind, some clothes stuck out of the bag. Inside, there should be two palm-sized dolls. They had head, arms, and legs. Moreover, five silver needles about one inch long were deeply stuck in them. At one glance, they looked like two wavering skeletons, which was horrifying. Everyone's face changed. "What, what is this?" Auntie Fang shivered and pointed to Mo Xuetong. She cursed through clenched teeth. "Third miss, though we don't know you because of your stay in Cloud City for a year or so, you shouldn't have harmed me and your sister. No wonder I went crazy and lost my baby. And since you're here, things kept happening to your sister. It turns out it's all because of you. Third miss, how can you be so cruel? They're your brother and sister!" Seeing the two dolls, Auntie Fang finally felt relieved. Though she's crying miserably, her
"It has something to do with First Miss?" The veins on Mo Huawen's forehead twitched. It was obvious that he was about to lose control. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did First Miss plot together with this evil woman to hurt Third Miss?" If Min'er was already so vicious, he would rather send her to a temple than to let her marry into the Duke Zhenguo's manor. It would harm and embarrass the entire Mo family. "No, that's not it. Auntie Fang found First Miss' maid, Elder Sister Mo Xiu. First Miss did not come. Auntie Fang was locked up and only Elder Sister Mo Xiu would come to visit Auntie from time to time..." The little maidservant answered whatever she could. She was afraid that she would be beaten to death on the spot if she answered too slowly. Scheming to hurt one's master was punishable. She could be flogged to death on the spot. "Sir Yu, do we still need to question her? If we continue to, we might even find out who was the instigat
Auntie Fang was sent back to the Yu family. The Mo Manor elders and the Old Madam who were waiting in the front hall struck her name off the family register. Auntie Fang was not an ordinary concubine for she had given birth to Mo Huawen's only son. She was naturally well-regarded and was noted down in the family register. However, after what happened, she could not remain on the Mo family register. Mo Huawen officially threw Auntie Fang out from the Mo Manor in front of the elders. Mo Yufeng was the last to find out. He had been having fun at the brothel while the incident happened. A servant had passed on the message to him but it was all too late by the time he came back. Auntie Fang had already been sent away. After hearing what happened, Mo Yufeng went to Qingwei Garden. He kicked the maid who answered the door and rushed into Mo Xuetong's room. "Young Master, Miss is resting and is not taking guests." Mo Yu c
That night, moonlight shone into the gardens of Qingwei Garden. It seemed especially silent. Most of the servants and maids had already been beaten and sold. There were not many left. Mo Xuetong would pick a few that she liked tomorrow. Only the original cast was left in Qingwei Garden. Mo Yu and Mo Ye swept up the garden while Mother Xu prepared a few dishes in the side kitchen. Mo Lan packed up the room. It was as if they were back in the Qin Manor. Back then, the people in the manor had all looked down on Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong did not have money and was not doted on. She was also a guest staying with the Qins. Even the servants could not be bothered with her. As such, Mo Xuetong's servants had done all the tasks around the house! Mo Xuetong sat before the window. She was not reading as she usually did and had gotten Mo Lan and the others to leave the room. She still felt sad when she thought of what happened in the day. She
How could the Princess Royal do so much for her? Mo Xuetong looked up in confusion and shock. Feng Yuran's gaze could not help but land on her face. The two stood extremely close to each other. They were so close that he could see her flawless pale face. His gaze could not help but fall upon her eyes, forehead, and lips. It felt as if a thousand years had passed in those seconds. Mo Xuetong retracted her hand, wanting to pull her hands from his grasp. However, she realized that he was holding her really tightly. It was so tight that she could not go against him. His eyes were extremely deep and dark in the moonlight. He looked straight at her, without hiding anything. Their gazes met and it was as if she had received a message. A complicated cocktail of emotions surged up from within her. It was as if there was something growing subconsciously. Mo Xuetong felt very shy and also very annoyed. She glared at him angrily and tugged her hand out of his grasp.
Even though the boxes were not large, they were so exquisite when put together that it made one sigh. One could tell that everything there was a treasure. No matter the jade bangles, earrings, or jade pieces and locks... they were all either made of jade, had jade embedded in them, or were jade with precious stones embedded on them. The color of the jade pieces was clear and extremely dazzling. "This is from the Ding General Manor and this is from the Ping General Manor. This is from that young lady from the Mingguo Manor and First Miss Mo of the Mo Manor sent this secretly." Qin Yufeng pointed at the four boxes of varying sizes with his fan. "It's not there?" Feng Yuxuan frowned, asking while he squatted down and riffled through the boxes. "No. I checked it earlier. Other than the fact that these are all precious stuff, there's nothing else." Qin Yufeng picked up a piece of jade and looked at it under the bright light in the r
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
