Fifth Princess did not know that she had almost died just now.
"Greetings to Mother from Tong'er." Seeing that Princess Royal had arrived, Mo Xuetong moved forth to pay her respects.
"What took Tong'er so long? I waited for quite a while already. Come, let me examine your foot." Princess Royale moved her glance from the beautiful face of Mo Xuetong to Bai Yihao. She squinted her eyes as a simmer of light flashed across her eyes, so fast that Mo Xuetong could not even tell the emotion they concealed.
"Aunty, it's rare for me to meet Anping. Perhaps we can visit your palace? I heard that your plum wine is ready for consumption. Is it possible to gift one cup to Xueyu?" Fifth Princess blinked repeatedly with a pleading smile, completely different from her malicious expression just now. She had transformed into a naive and cute girl again.
If Mo Xuetong did not see what had just happened, she would have been completely fooled by Fi
Even though she did not know what Bai Yihao was asking about, Mo Xuetong could not be too careful. She would not have so many unnecessary thoughts if she did not know about her mother's background. But now... she could not control herself. "That's right, many scholars were left out of the palace, a great loss to the imperial court. Do you wish to see some true scholars out of the court in the Qin Kingdom, Your Highness? True scholars always longed for freedom and you could be considered to be one of them. It will be a real pity if you do not join us." Bai Yihao smiled. "Just like the piece that the Empress Dowager praised." Bai Yihao seemed to be inviting her to participate in the Qin gathering, even threatening her. Involuntarily, Mo Xuetong lifted up the jade bowl beside her and sipped at the wine. Together with the warmth brought by the wine, her eyes became cold and unforgiving. "Thank you for your invitation, Sir Bai. My foot is injured
Within the Empress' Tianfeng Palace. The Empress sat high up with a cold and ugly expression. Beside her, Fifth Princess sat quietly, watching the servants walk in and out of the hall with pails of bloody water. Her face turned pale. Mo Xuetong sat below, squeezing Mo Lan's hand tight as she was a bit nervous. Her eyes turned misty and watery, making her look worried and helpless. Her fingers hooked on Mo Lan's hand as her knuckles were white from using force. However, from the corner of her eyes hid a slight tinge of coldness. "How is Beauty Liu?" Seeing that a servant had rushed in, the Empress asked. "I'm afraid that Beauty Liu's face..." The servant hesitated to choose her words but her meaning was clear. The Empress could not sit and wait anymore as Beauty Liu was a new concubine of the Emperor. She had to answer to the Emperor for damaging the face of his new lover. Standing up, she led the gro
Both the words of Beauty Liu and the actions of the Fifth Princess made all understood the truth of the matter, as none of the bystanders were fools. If anything was amiss, that would be the mistake in the execution by Beauty Liu. However, she shouldered all the responsibility herself. "Your Highness, do you have any other matter that requires Anping here? If not, I need to speak to her." Princess Royal spoke solemnly as she looked at Fifth Princess with a disapproving glance. That sharp glance made Fifth Princess shudder as she turned her head away, scared to speak. "Nothing. I merely asked Anping to come so we can get a complete knowledge of the situation. Since it was an accident, and that Beauty Liu has gone insane after injuring her face, the investigation will not lead to any more outcome. Please bring Anping back, Princess Royal. It must be quite a fright for a girl like her!" The Empress comforted Mo Xuetong as she walked up and looked at her with
"Why? How did you become so excited when you just met me a while ago?" Feng Yuran gave a sly smile as he hugged Mo Xuetong tight. His profound smile hid a tinge of seduction as he whispered to her, grabbing her by her slim waist. "What happened, Miss?" Hearing the voice of in the carriage, Mo Lan asked anxiously. "Mo Lan, I'm alright." Mo Xuetong became conscious of the situation as she struggled out of Feng Yuran's hug, staring at him fiercely in the process. Sitting aside, she found the man inching nearer to her. She then pushed him out of embarrassment and annoyance, "Go... go away!" "Tong'er, you are already my lady wife, don't be so polite." Feng Yuran smiled as he focused his gaze on the beauty in front, extremely delighted. "Who is your lady wife? I have nothing to do with you. The royal family knows only to order others and to lie, treating others' lives as nothing. They are self-centered, killing and disfiguring others
When arriving at the manor, Mo Xuetong happened to see Old Madam storming out, taking her son and granddaughter to Yushui Street. She looked as if they would never return. Mo Huawen coldly saw them off at the gate. After such a thing, though they didn't talk about it straightforwardly, they all knew it perfectly well in their hearts. People weren't necessarily unaware of something even though they didn't discuss it openly. Yu Mingyong's confession was presented on her father's desk. For only an invitation to the royal banquet, Old Madam should want to destroy her, which was too vicious. It made sense that Father would drive her away. Mo Xuetong got off the carriage and waited aside with hands on her both sides. When Mo Huayan walked past her, supporting Old Madam, she only politely curtsied. Old Madam frowned and didn't even look at Mo Xuetong. She strode past the latter, putting on airs, as if she weren't driven away but walked out on Mo Hu
Mo Huawen was the lord mayor and was in charge of the security of the capital. If he did not manage to find out that King Ning, Feng Yuzhen, had secretly returned to Qin, and the matter was discovered later, the Emperor would be enraged. Her father would be the first to be implicated. As such, Mo Xuetong revealed the matter to him in a subtle manner. Her father had not thought of it for the time being. But he would definitely be able to find out if he were to put his mind to it! Furthermore, the relationship between Grand Secretariat Wang and Feng Yuzhen was known to all. His daughter was really close to Feng Yuzhen right now. When more time passed, they would definitely make a mistake. While Grand Secretariat Wang, the Empress Dowager and Feng Yuzhen were all smart and sly, Wang Xiuxiu was not yet at that level. One could tell that she was still a little lacking from how she had violently reacted the last time. Mo Xuetong was a hundred perc
Mo Xuetong took a leisurely boat ride. She had not felt so relaxed since her rebirth and was in a good mood. She heard Luo Mingzhu's voice when she reached the shore. "Cousin Tong, why didn't you ask me along. Otherwise, I could have taken the boat ride with you." She stomped her feet with an expression of jealousy. She said with regret, "I was just a tiny bit behind you and could have caught up with you." "Then Second Cousin, shall we ride again?" Mo Xuetong's eyes glimmered and she laughed. "Emm... maybe not." Luo Mingzhu looked at the little boat that bobbed up and down on the water surface and swallowed. She backed away hesitantly. She was only just kidding. If she really dared to board the boat, she would have waved and asked Mo Xuetong to take her along. Mo Xuetong could not help laughing when she saw how Luo Mingzhu wanted to get onto the boat but did not dare to. She was just saying that because she knew that Luo Mingzh
In Bai Yihao's painting, there were bamboos in the background. There were green tender shoots that had recently sprouted. However, the bamboo was lush and green. The sky was bright and there was a round moon hanging in the sky. A man wearing a long robe with wide sleeves sat before the bamboos, holding an antique Qin elegantly. There was a flask of wine beside him that was placed haphazardly. It was evident that it had been used. The man seemed a little tipsy, making him seem even more beautiful. The painting was extremely beautiful no matter in terms of the scenery or the intention behind it. It also fitted the theme of the meet today where there were elegant nobility and music. If the poem did not match well, it was easy for others to feel that she was doing something unnecessary. It was very difficult! It was very difficult to get the intention of the painter and describe the scenery and figure in the painting!
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
