Yirong was Feng Yulei's lead maidservant and naturally knew that someone missing in His Highness's room mattered. She immediately and calmly ordered Yiyun. "Quickly, you go search outside while I search inside."
Anyway, she must find Her Highness Han. Even if Her Highness Han was dead, she must see the body!
Yiyun made a throat-cutting gesture. None of them was an ordinary maidservant. They followed Feng Yulei to not only serve but also protect him. Yiyun placed her hand on her waist, where there was a soft sword. The sword had tasted blood and killed people.
Mo Xuetong hid under the bed, and she could just see Yiyun's fierce face from her position. At that moment, she could only clench her teeth to suppress her scream. It never occurred to her that since Feng Yuran had female guards like Mo Ye, how did Feng Yulei not have them?
Yirong and Yiyun were roles like Mo Ye.
In front of them, she couldn't match a single
On the large bed in the room, Feng Yulei was lying on his back, blood all over him. At the beside, a woman dressed in maidservant's clothes laid on the ground. She kept her eyes open and stared blankly into the air. Blood oozed out of her and to the door. The base of the partition was already tainted with blood... Mo Xuetong couldn't help trembling in fear. That blood-covered face of that servant, Yirong, seemed to have shown up before her. Almost like a reflex action, she jerked her eyes open. By her ears, a familiar voice rang. The languid voice no longer sounded as casual as before, instead, it carried affection she could even feel. Faint masculine smell and his particular scent seeped into her lungs. Her restless heart got comforted by the low whispers of comfort. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's just a dream. I'm here." She subconsciously circled her arms around Feng Yuran's waist, her voice uncontrollably shaking. As if in need of comfo
Feng Yuran had never said anything with such clarity before, and thus Mo Xuetong could not decipher if he was being completely honest, hiding nothing behind his seductive features. However, she saw that his eyes were extremely beautiful in the dark night, shining even more brightly than the most brilliant stars, more colorful than even the rosy clouds. Mo Xuetong seemed to be mesmerized by the deep emotions hidden within his eyes. She was confused and yet nervous, unable to retract her hand away from him. She blinked and blinked again, with her brain ordering her to reject him but her heart telling another story. She felt that she was like a moth who threw herself at the flames, worrying about him while voluntarily throwing herself to the burning flames of love that she longed for in both of her lives. She had died in her previous life due to love herself. Having been reborn again, she could totally understand the sincerity in his eyes. The
What happened that night shook the entire court. The drama started in King Yan's Manor. A concubine disappeared, King Yan was drunk on his bed, wearing bloody clothes. In front of his bed, a servant died in the strangest manner. The drama then continued in a house of King Chu, where an assassin gravely injured King Chu. The most unfortunate king was King Xuan, who got caught under the brothel that he frequented. The lusty King Xuan was trapped beneath the rubble and was still in a coma when he was rescued. Good medications were sent in heaps to his manor as if they had been free of charge. Since all three princes suffered greatly in one night, King Yan, who suffered the least loses (only a dead servant), became the most suspicious individual of them all even though he was also a victim. He suffered no injuries other than some mere bloodstains. Of course, some suspected King Chu of staging his own assassination. Af
"Princess Anping!" Bai Yichen's pupils contracted as he became angrier. Bai Yihao had consistently made the conversation about Princess Anping as if he were really lusty. "Turns out my Big Brother do know about her. I can't believe that the reputation of Princess Anping spread far and wide. After two to three years, her name will be known all over the Qin Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom." Bai Yihao looked at Bai Yichen's angry expression, satisfied. He sighed slowly and continued. "Brother, if you are looking for a beauty, she will be the best choice! It'd be a pity if you miss her!" "Since she is so outstanding, why are you not interested in her?" Bai Yichen's rage was apparent as he retorted. Like he had expected, Bai Yihao wanted to use this beauty to lure him in giving up pursuing Fifth Princess so that he could marry her himself. Judging by the background of Fifth Princess, his influence would instantly increase. His tricks were apparent in
After getting out of the carriage, the old eunuch smiled and greeted her. "Your Majesty, come with me. Her Majesty has been waiting for a long time." Mo Xuetong took the opportunity to slip a silver ticket into his hand, smiling. "How do I address you?" "You can call me eunuch Yu. I am a servant in Cining Palace, taking care of Empress Dowager. Usually, I help my master with the garden." Eunuch Yu received the silver ticket and became even more polite. Inside his heart, he approved of the girl as he recognized her as a sensible woman despite her young age. It was no surprise that Princess Royal had her as a foster daughter as she was indeed a bright woman. Following him in, Mo Xuetong smiled as she chatted. "So it's Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu, I apologize for my ignorance as I was extremely nervous just now, having never received an order from Empress Dowager before. I wonder why Empress Dowager would want to meet me."
"Princess Anping, the Empress Dowager dotes on you so much. Why don't you have the Empress Dowager bestow upon you a good marriage? Look at how blissful Duchess Mingyang is, and you will know how satisfied she is with her marriage." Consort Yu smiled and steered the topic to Mo Xuetong. She wanted Mo Xuetong to ask the Empress Dowager herself. If she asked the Empress Dowager to bestow marriage upon her, what could Emperor Zongwen say! The Empress Dowager and Emperor Zongwen would not make things hard on her. They would only think of her as a young lady who had no definite views and treated marriage as a game in order to butter up to the Empress Dowager. This would annoy Emperor Zongwen. However, could she refuse? The Empress Dowager bestowing a marriage was a great honor. If she did not accept it, she would be going against a royal decree. Furthermore, while Emperor Zongwen had already agreed to bestow her marriage with Feng Yuran, he had n
Politics underwent a large change following that. First, Emperor Zongwen was incensed and immediately sent someone from the inner court to investigate the matter between the two factions. Then, he immediately got rid of the most powerful figures. They were either all killed along with their families or banished from the country. Some were demoted or fired. A large number of positions became empty in court. The inner cabinet was directly affected by Emperor Zongwen's ire. They were all fearful and afraid that they would cause even greater trouble should they make the slightest mistake. The three adult princes were all in trouble, especially Emperor Zongwen's favored son, the eighth prince, King Xuan. He still had not awakened. Emperor Zongwen unleashed his frustrations and anger on his officials. King Yan was affected as well. He knelt in the great hall and was harshly berated. He did not even know how a maid in his inner courtyard had died a
Mo Xuetong's mouth opened but she did not make a sound. Her fingers, which were hidden under her sleeves, clutched the table tightly. Her eyes tightened as if this would give her strength. The pot holding the Yuxiao Flower was covered with pieces of jade and covered more than half the pot. The flower grew on top of that. It looked very auspicious and beautiful. Mo Xuetong once looked at the flower for a long time and had once wondered whether the flower meant anything. However, she had never thought of searching the flower pot. Did the jade token cause Emperor Zongwen to fear the Fu General Manor in her past life? Then how was he going to deal with the jade token that appeared today? "Is there something wrong with the jade token?" Mo Xuetong sighed and calmed down as she turned to look at Luo Bin. Luo Bin nodded to himself in approval when he saw how Mo Xuetong quickly emerged from her shock and how her question was quick to th
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
