He was King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, who was said to be untalented and useless and had been sent to the Yan Kingdom as a royal hostage.
Mo Xuetong was one hundred percent positive about that and then knitted her brows. In her last life, King Ning, Feng Yuzhen really even didn't return to the Qin Kingdom and directly died in the Yan Kingdom. When Bai Yihao led his soldiers, this King Ning was affected and died in the battle even without putting up a fight.
In Mo Xuetong's eye, Mo Xuetong always found King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, the most innocent person.
The Yan Kingdom sent the crown prince as the royal hostage, thus the Qin Kindom at least should send a prince. Who knew that they sent none of Emperor Zongwen's sons but King Ning, Feng Yuzhen?
However, if one thought about it carefully, he would found it make sense to send King Ning. He was the Empress Dowager's legal grandson and succeeded his father's position as the new King Ning. His
Outside, columns of fire and smoke rose into the sky followed by intense screams. The screams were so loud as if it were right by her ear. Mo Xuetong's vision cleared slightly and she lowered her head and tried to push Feng Yuran away forcefully. She bit her lips, not knowing how to face the situation. "Why are you so shy? We are about to be engaged anyway. What are you afraid of!" Feng Yuran lifted his brows and smiled at her charmingly while looking at the top of her head. "Your Highness!" Mo Xuetong flushed and almost bit her tongue. When did they become engaged? Nothing was set in stone yet but it sounded so natural coming from him. Anger filled her eyes. She had wanted to make small talk at first but could not say anything now. "Alright alright, it was my fault. Let me show you something good." Feng Yuran smiled charmingly and turned his body away to lead her. He pointed at a curtain that separated where they were from the inner chamber
"Since you haven't, then what were you doing there? I heard that some of the courtyards in that alley are occupied by beautiful women." Feng Yuran's light voice could be heard from behind the curtain. Ling Fengyan could vaguely make out the figure of a woman inside as well. Feng Yuran was leaning onto the woman. Ling Fengyan could tell that the woman was extremely beautiful even from just her silhouette. "Your Highness." Ling Fengyan stood up with tears in her eyes. She took out her handkerchief and tried to dry her tears. She continued before she even wiped her eyes, evidence of how sad she was, "Your Highness, I just wanted to pass through from there to get to the other side to see the fireworks. I didn't expect someone to come after me and try to kill me. If not for your help. I fear I would have already..." Then, she curtsied deeply and wiped her tears away in a frightened manner. Any man who did not have a heart of stone w
Mo Xuetong fell silent. She immediately understood what Feng Yuran meant. Ling Fengyan was an important chess piece in the Empress' hands. She was incredibly useful no matter whether she married King Yan or King Chu. However, no matter who she wanted to marry, Ling Fengyan's reputation could not be damaged. As such, Ling Fengyan would not speak about what happened tonight. She would not say anything even to the Empress. That was because the Empress' interest was not hers. She would not allow the Empress to manipulate her. She would not be able to retaliate if the Empress had any information that could be used against her. Mo Xuetong was speechless when she understood that. He had already thought of what she had long ago. And he had set up a trap for Ling Fengyan to fall into. Even though Mo Xuetong was not sure what hew as up to exactly, she knew that this was not his only plot. Ling Fengyan was not the only one i
Mo Xuetong raised her head and stared at him blankly. Her eyes, which ought to have been a little cold, glowed. There was some misty mist in her big, inky eyes. Her long eyelashes quivered a little, and her small mouth was half-open, but she could not utter a word. She had an ineffable charm. On her attractive, pointy, oval face, her peerless beauty was dreamlike as if it were covered with a light mist. She, too, seemed to be as poor as an abandoned little animal. Feng Yuran felt that his heart had never been so soft. His eyes were as tender as water! He held her more and more tightly in his arms, as if she were the most precious treasure. It was a long time before Mo Xuetong bit her upper lip and gave him a gentle push, beckoning him to let her go. This time, however, Feng Yuran did not exert too much force. He loosened his grip after she gave him a gentle push. However, after experiencing the intense passion just now, the two
It had been announced early in the morning that Princess Royal Mingzhu would accept Mo Xuetong as her adopted daughter. Princess Royal Mingzhu had arranged the affair of entertaining guests without any explanation. Only in the morning, when the whole Princess's Manor was busy with the matter, did it spread profusely and disorderly. The number of those who knew it immediately increased like a snowball. Some envied, some despised, some mocked, and some people suspect... In Prime Minister's Manor. Wang Xiuxiu had not gone out since returning to her boudoir last night. Given the strength of Feng Yuzhen's shadow guard, to kill a physically weak woman in a boudoir was a piece of cake. Wang Xiuxiu was delighted to think of what Feng Yuzhen had promised her the night before. The two had indulged themselves in a deep passion for a long time before they had parted sweetly. Wang Xiuxiu had left cautiously by the side door, not knowing wha
As the carriage sped along the road, Mo Xuetong frowned at the jade bracelet on her wrist in the carriage. It was the only jade ornament that her mom had left her to pick up. But just now, when Princess Royal asked about it, she lied, not knowing why. Inexplicably, she felt that she could not tell Princess Royal about it. She was born again, and something grew darker in her heart. Auntie Fang was the chief culprit who was responsible for her mom's death, but somehow, she had a feeling that there was something that one wished to keep secret. The weird man in black, Xiuning Workshop, He Xia's affair, her father's enigmatic look, and Princess Royal's inexplicable favor... This string of events kept her from trusting anyone and telling anyone about it. She had never encountered such a thing, nor had she gone for the jade bracelet in her previous life. She had no idea where it was at last. Perhaps one day, when her father came back
Before Mo Xuetong answered, Bai Yihao turned around to look out of the windows. His gaze seemed to travel through the crowd and landed somewhere further way. "People say that King Jin manor's lady used to love plum, so they planted the large plum forest outside the capital. King Jin planted them for his lovely wife, but many premium plum flowers are missing from the forest now." "In the inner residence of King Jin lies the most beautiful red plum forest. The lady loves to visit there the most. When it's winter, the red plums will blossom against the white snow. When the wind blows, the snowflakes swirling in the sky are dreamlike. So, the small red plum forest and the lady's yard are collectively called the Dream Yard." Bai Yihao said slowly and his handsome profile looked jade-like white and flawless in the sunlight. However, it seemed to carry something else. Today, Bai Yihao was very different. Mo Xuetong raised her lips in
Mo Xuetong did not know that she had been targeted by Feng Yuzhen. At the moment, she was preparing dinner in the yard. Mother Xu personally cooked, including frying and boiling. The yard smelled delicious. Most of the young and old maids in the Qingwei Garden were newly chosen, and some of those maids were deployed by Mo Huawen from other places. They were all smart and capable, keeping the garden clean and tidy. The previous situation—the servants received their master's command but did not carry out—never happened again. It was a little late when Mo Huawen came. The Yan Kingdom's envoys came to the capital, and he had to arrange for an escort to protect them. Anyway, he had to finish his business before he came back. Besides, the First Prince of the Yan Kingdom didn't live in the posthouse. As soon as Mo Huawen arrived at the gate of the yard, a young maid with sharp eyes saw him and ran in quickly to report to
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
