At the back garden of Princess Royal.
Bai Yihao came here to say goodbye to Princess Royal. As the aunt of Bai Yihao, it's normal for Princess Royal to talk intimately and personally to him, and hence she ushered all her servants out, with only Princess Royal's nanny, Nanny Qin, guarding the door. The conversation inside made Nanny Qin shudder in fear.
That was nothing like the intimate conversation between an aunt and her nephew, it's clearly...
The voices in the inner hall were not loud, with a certain kind of gracefulness and composure even though they were talking about a topic that devastated others. Nanny Qin suppressed the chill in her heart and stood further away, cautiously monitoring situations outside the room. She was afraid that someone could be eavesdropping and use the information to hurt Princess Royal.
"Aunt, did you forget the hatred we had before? Did you forget your parents, who sent you into the imperial fa
Wangjiang Tower was situated next to the river, the front of the tower faced the river. Sitting on the tower and looking across the river, one could see vast distances ahead and vague figures of gulls and herons flying across the horizon, disturbing the calm water at times. At the side of the rivers, willow trees lined up and their long branches swayed in the wind gently as the wind caressed them. Feng Yuran was wearing a flamboyant purple coat, with extremely extravagant datura flowers embroidered on his neckline. He stood on the tower, his hand behind his back as he looked at the beautiful view upon him. However, his eyes were merely blankly staring ahead, obviously not enjoying the view. "King Xuan, you came so early. But I was late. Forgive me." Behind him, a calm voice appeared with a gentle smile. Without looking, he knew it was Bai Yihao. Feng Yuran turned around and walked to the table beside. He held up the kettle and poured two cup
Mo Manor, Qingwei Garden. Mo Ye was already back, reporting to Mo Xuetong with guilt. "Miss, I lost track of the man." How did Mo Ye lose the man? Mo Xuetong placed down the embroidery he was holding and touched her swollen head, a little lost. "Miss, please rest for a while. King Xuan's manor had sent someone over to inform us that we need not prepare anything due to the tight schedule. The King had prepared everything, including the embroidered dress, and he will come at a prosperous timing to send them over." Mo Lan placed down the embroidery she was holding and took over Mo Xuetong's. She placed it aside and stood behind her, helping her massage her forehead as she comforted her. When the word came, Mo Lan and the rest were delighted. That did not only mean the significance that King Xuan attributed to her miss, but also the fact that King Xuan survived and woke up from the verge of death. That made the entire Mo manor joyf
Bai Yihao leaving the country did not create much news as the subsequent marriage of the three kings in one day interested the public much more, making them unable to divert their attention to the matters of other countries. Furthermore, Bai Yihao had always had a low profile, and aristocratic ladies only knew this piece of news after a few days, when they were devastated. However, the man was already gone and could only remain in the dreams of these infatuated women, making them sad. Mo Xuetong had a couple of days of peace as she did not leave the house these few days nearing her marriage, other than to greet Xu Yan. She spent the rest of her time sewing in Qingwei Garden. She wasn't preparing for a large number of clothes, but she insisted on completing this set. In her previous life, she could only barely make ends meet and learnt sewing with the servants to help in household expenses, selling those that she sewed. Hence, her embroidery work was excel
After hearing that, Old Madam put on a fiercer face as she became angrier, knocking on the ground a few times with her walking sticks, chiding with her deep voice, "Girl Tong, you'd better apologize to your second sister now. Families like us place value on respect. Don't fool around and lose your decency." Apologize? Mo Xuetong lifted up her head and sneered. Not only was she a princess, but her position as a consort after marriage would also mean that there's no need for her to apologize to a businesswoman like Mo Xueyan. Furthermore, her apology today would invoke rumors everywhere, judging from the unfriendly faces of the nannies beside her. It was merely one purpose to move the objects today, but not the main objective! Before the matter was made clear, Old Madam needed to suppress her and mess around, thinking she was still the doted on Mo Xuetong like before. Many more entered the living room then and Mo Xuetong saw a re
That was a small booklet, not enormous. However, strangely, it looked more like the book of accounts. It opened up once it fell onto the ground, with numbers and names of people shown. "What is this?" Before anyone could react, Mo Xueyan rushed forth and flipped through the booklet, reading it, "Assistant minister manor, Fu General Manor... money... money?" She seemed to be aware of something and turned away in fright, running out with the booklet in her hand towards Old Madam, who was resting in the garden. She was unable to express herself clearly, stuttering as she explained, "Grandma, grandma, it's a booklet about the silver that uncle gifted to others... what to do." She was loud enough and everyone around them heard it. Instantly, the whole garden turned silent. Old Madam was chatting casually with Xu Yan. Hearing that, she immediately stood up, "Girl Yan, don't speak nonsense!" Even though she was chiding t
Outside the garden, Mo Huawen stood there peacefully, sadness in his eyes. She was an elder that he had respected for years, one that he was willing to forget the fact that it was not his birth mother. Even though she had planned to hurt Tong'er before, he did nothing to her due to the fact that he owed her for raising him up. He merely sent her to his brother's house to prevent her from causing trouble and hurting herself. He didn't expect that everything was just a facade due to her father's threat to this woman. If not for his father's plans, he might have been long dead! Everything that he saw was merely a facade. The peaceful and kind nature of the woman was merely for she dared not provoke him! A slight cold smile on his face hid the sadness within. He had proper matters to attend to. Turning to look at You Yuecheng, he asked casually, "Why are you here, Second Young Master You?" Old Madam didn't expect Mo H
"However, now we can prove that all these items belonged to Mo Manor. How can Second Miss Mo explain this? How can Second Young Sir You explain this?" Official Qian explained. "Impossible!" "How is that possible!" Mo Xueyan and You Yuelian exclaimed at the same time. Mo Xueyan was sharp and talkative, complaining, "Sir, they are spouting nonsense! Those were obviously bought using Grandma's money." She then turned around to Mo Xuetong, in a false attempt to convince her, "Third Sister, it's useless for you to continue holding onto these objects now that your entire household is about to be beheaded. There's no point for you to get charged for another crime of trying to deceive Grandma and obtaining her properties!" Her words were extremely harsh and were proudly insidious, especially spewing such toxic words towards her uncle and cousin. The few officials all threw cold and disdainful looks at Mo Xueyan. "Second M
Once the thing in Mo Manor spread, people from and outside the court were all stunned. It was already not a simple case where the children fought for the inheritance. Instead, it was intentioned framing. Immediately, officials from the Ministry of Justice went to inquire about it in Mingguo Manor. However, all of the conclusions led to the fact that the concubine-born son coveted the dowries of Mo Manor's second miss. Therefore, he disgraced himself by personally carrying the dowries and then caused trouble. After all, he didn't personally touch the brochure with his own hands. Everything started with Mo Xueyan, so he pushed all the blame onto Mo Xueyan. Later, before people figured out what had happened, news that Mo Xueyan committed suicide in jail came. Then, You Yuelian followed to kill himself as well. Both of them died. Emperor Zongwen became furious and demanded a thorough investigation into it. However, even after a thorough investigation, people
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
