"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
After Mo Xuetong visited the Old Madam, she stayed in the Fu General Manor to have lunch with the Old Madam. The Old Madam was feeling alright and had just caught a cold. Older people were like so. She felt better after seeing that Mo Xuetong had come especially to visit her and she immediately felt better. She even had an additional half a bowl of rice at lunch. When Mo Xuetong left, she even held Mo Xuetong's hand tightly and told her to visit when she had time. The two manors were closer now that Xu Yan had married into the Mo Manor. Now that Xu Yan had taken charge of the household matters, it was not hard for Mo Xuetong to go out. Mo Xuetong smiled and agreed. Then, she guaranteed the Old Madam again that she would visit in a few days. Then, the Old Madam allowed Mo Xuetong to leave reluctantly. After the horse carriage pulled out from the manor, Mo Xuetong was not in a hurry to return home. Instead, she went to a famous jewelry shop on
Mo Yufeng looked at Qin Yufeng hopefully. He only hoped that the intelligent and resourceful Qin Yufeng could help him and save him this once. "Yufeng, I really do not have the money." Qin Yufeng considered for a moment before he looked up and said gravely to Mo Yufeng. "Then what will I do? What should I do? They even said that if I do not have money, they will take my life. They won't send me to the Yamen." Mo Yufeng howled and leaned into the chair despondently. He looked in front of him listlessly. It was as if all the bones in his body had been removed. "It's not that there isn't a way, but..." Qin Yufeng said after a short silence. "What? What is it? Yu Feng, I will do whatever you say." Mo Yufeng sat up suddenly when he heard what Qin Yufeng said. He tugged at Qin Yufeng's sleeves urgently. "This... how about, forget it!" Qin Yufeng said, looking as if he was in a difficult position. He frowned, hemmed and
It was already the second day when Mo Xuetong heard that Mo Yufeng was going to marry Lady Li. His father had already sent the message out. This matter originally had nothing to do with her. This morning, when she went to greet Xu Yan, she heard that Father was angry the previous night, and had beaten Mo Yufeng so harshly that he could not get out of the bed. Furthermore, he was also grounded and wasn't allowed out of the house. She could not understand how so much drama originated from this marriage. Furthermore, she was amazed at the hastiness of the event. Ever since the message had been sent out, Father arranged for the marriage gifts. He did not specify quantity or quality, asking Xu Yan to decide, which meant that he did not intend to put any effort into it. The sloppiness of Father's actions was unlike that of his meticulous personality, especially towards the marriage of his only son. Mo Xuetong was full of doubts. Afte
The scorching fire burnt her, making her unable to open her eyes out of pain. Thus, he could not see the man who charged into the fire to save her, regardless of the burning fire on her body. The passionate hug and the frightened voice signaled that the man was afraid of losing her... However, she wondered who could be the one saving her as she could not see the person's face with the blazing fire surrounding her. She gradually became unconscious, remembering only the shriek of a man. The man teared up. She was dreaming again. Then, she pondered who the man could be as few cared about her in her previous life! She was only a tool to be used by others and loved by none. She could not figure out who would care so much about her to call out her name in fright as he charged into the fire for her. In her previous life, she was so naive that she would sacrifice everything for such a man. However, in her previous life, she was surrounded by decepti
"Why did you go and find Feng Yuxuan?" Mo Xuetong was about to cry, and thus she turned her head around to hide her tears. Nonchalantly, Feng Yuran replied, "It was more satisfying to do it myself." She did not believe in it herself as Feng Yuxuan was immediately injured after he tried assassinating her. Furthermore, his severe injury made her teared up in regret. She didn't know what exactly she was feeling, as she was being overwhelmed by pain and hatred. For that instance, she knew not what to say, choosing to ignore him and focus on bandaging. Biting her lips, she stared at the man with her red eyes. She was shocked, surprised, upset, and a little touched... All these different emotions merged into that of anger. However, her pitiful and fragile look concealed her anger, as it looked more like a moan than anything else. A light mist covered her watery eyes, making her even more distressed and delicate. Seeing that Mo Xueton
Mo Xuetong was at a loss for words as she could not comprehend his logic. After a while, she smiled bitterly and asked, "Where are we going?" "I'm bringing you to see a show. I promise that you will like it." Feng Yuran smiled gently as he inched closer to her. "Look at how I seek revenge for you." "Whose show?" Mo Xuetong asked curiously. "Who else? Definitely the genius Qin Yufeng who thought that he had your brother under control." Feng Yuran said as he looked at Mo Xuetong's face with caution. Seeing the laughter and delight on her face, he was immediately delighted. His men had personally seen Qin Yufeng and his men outside King Yan's Manor. That meant he wanted to kidnap Mo Xuetong. Qin Yufeng also ordered his men to never hurt the girl. Feng Yuran was extremely upset that Qin Yufeng had Tong'er in his mind. Thus, even though Qin Yufeng escaped from his trap, he must let Qin Yufeng be embarrassed in front of
