It was still early when Feng Yuran and Mo Xuetong returned.
The matter did not involve them a great deal and Feng Yuran's leg was still not healed. As such, they were allowed to return to their manor early.
After Mo Xuetong got Feng Yuran to lie down when they returned home, news of the Princess Royal's arrival came.
As such, Mo Xuetong received Princess Royal in her courtyard.
Princess Royal came in a hurry and only brought a few people. When Mo Xuetong entered the room and curtsied, the princess nodded. She looked at the servants around Mo Xuetong with narrowed eyes and did not say anything.
She wanted to speak with Mo Xuetong alone.
Mo Xuetong waved her hands and Mo Lan and the other servants left. The servants around Princess Royal followed them and left as well. Mo Lan, who was the last to leave closed the door and waited a few steps away from the door. After serving Mo Xuetong for so long, she
"Tong'er, where did you get this?" Feng Yuran asked carelessly when he saw the jade pendant in Mo Xuetong's pale hand. "Mother intentionally left behind a jade bangle. I was bored these few days and examined it to discover the secret that laid within. There is a small secret compartment and this little jade pendant was inside it when I opened it." Mo Xuetong told the truth without hesitation. She was going to come clean to Feng Yuran today. She would brave through the storms with him. Feng Yuran did not look at the jade pendant. His eyes were grave as he looked at Mo Xuetong. He looked at the determination in her clear eyes for a long while. In the end, he sighed softly and kissed her hair. He was gentle and loving as he said softly, "You don't have to be involved in such matters in the future." He understood what was on her heart in an instant. "I don't want to. I am your wife. I am the person who h
Mo Xuetong met Mo Xuemin in an empty courtyard. The yard's door was locked, and there were a few littered bowls on the ground with some spoiled leftovers. It was not too cold today, but the dishes had been sour. Obviously, the food had been put there for a long time. Mo Lan helped Mo Xuetong into the yard and saw Mo Xuetong at first sight. Mo Xuemin was all skin and bone with sunken eyes and prominent cheekbones. She looked like a middle-aged woman in her 30s and 40s at first glance, totally dispossessed of her beautiful face. She was dressed in rags and her broken clothes were screwed randomly. But her eyes were still full of wickedness. Seeing Mo Xuetong come in finery, Mo Xuetong fixed her eyes on Mo Xuetong tightly and said in a trembling and hoarse voice full of hatred. "It's you, right?" Mo Xuetong wore an ice-blue light gauze dress with silk sash at the waist and a hemmed skirt of the same color to make her
"Okay," Mo Xuetong nodded, knowing that Mo Lan hoped her to think a lot of the child, so that Mo Xuetong could gain her father's favor more. A married woman still needed to rely on her own brother and father. Although Mo Xuetong did not have an elder brother, if Xu Yan conceived a baby boy, the boy would be Mo Xuetong's younger brother, as well as the support in her paternal family. As for Mo Yufeng, Mo Xuetong did not have any expectations. It was said that Mo Yufeng became more muddled and messed up his own yard completely. All of the good-looking maidservants belonged to him, and he had a house of concubines and maidservants with confusing ranks. It was rather ignominious. So father also had no expectation for him. And because Auntie Fang was expelled from Mo's clan, Mo Yufeng's presence seemed awkward. Mo Huawen just gave him a yard and drove him there directly, totally indifferent to him. After coming back to King Xuan's M
When the carriage came to the gate of the palace, the little eunuch guarding at the gate trotted toward at the sight of the King Xuan's Manor's carriage, and led it into the palace fawningly. A long line of carriages moved backward to give way to the carriage. King Xuan was the Emperor's favorite prince, and no one dared to offend him. When the carriage stopped well, Mo Xuetong got off first and helped Feng Yuran to get off. And He Yuxiu behind had already came out of her carriage. A little eunuch guarded there and hurried to kneel down when seeing Feng Yuran get off the carriage. "Your Highness, His Majesty asks you to go to the Qianqing Palace." Feng Yuran frowned and looked at Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong knew that he was worried about her, so she squeezed his hand in the sleeves, took a sideways glance at He Yuxiu who was coming towards them, and suggested. "You just go. I will go to the Cining Palace first and pay my respects to
Mo Xuetong was only in Cining Palace briefly. Consort Ning had plotted to and killed Consort Chu. This was a grave matter and changed King Ning, Feng Yuzhen's plans completely. Everyone knew that the court was no longer in two factions. It seemed on the surface that this matter was caused by King Ning's foiled plots. However, in actuality, King Chu had not suffered any losses in this matter. It was said that the Ding General Manor was prepared to marry their Third Miss, a legitimate daughter of the family, to King Chu. She would become his second wife. The Ding General Manor had lost a daughter just like that and the royal family owed the Ding General Manor one. It was necessary for them to allow the Ding General Manor to have another Consort Chu in their family. It was different for King Ning. Wang Yueyue's death was not something that could be explained. She had miscarried early on in the pregnancy and it would not have put her life in danger. Everyone
Mo Xuetong was dumbfounded and stopped suddenly. She touched her head and stood under the flower tree beside. She felt shocked that Consort Zhao looked so similar to Consort Xian. Although Consort Zhao was Consort Xian's younger sister, the two were not related by blood. How could they look so alike?Feng Yuran also said that his mother consort was an orphan and the relatives of her parents had passed away all. So his mother was barely related to He family in any way. How could it be possible that her mother had a sister who resembled her so much? Even if luck had happened, it was too unusually coincident.Mo Xuetong felt somewhat that something weird was in it."What kind of family is He's family?" After Mo Xuetong saw Feng Yuran in Anhe Palace, it was the first question that came to her mind.Feng Yuran reached out to keep his hand around her waist and walked slowly into the main palace. Now there were only a few elderly maidserv
"Tong'er, rest assured. I will deal with this matter calmly." Feng Yuran made the promise gently and hugged the young girl who trembled with tears in his arms.Mo Xuetong also hugged him tightly, refusing to loosen her hands. Her tears ran down silently and then fell in clusters. She did not know why she cried, but only felt her heart broken with bitterness that made her unable to speak for that moment. She just told herself vaguely that he could fulfil his promise, and that he would not make the mistake as he had made in the last life, and he would not suffer like that, and they would live a happy life..."Tong'er, Tong'er..." Seeing her so miserable but he was unable to find the cause, Feng Yuran just murmured her name again and again. His lips gently fell on her cheeks, eyes, and lips. He was so confused that he did not know how to comfort her, but just kissed her cheeks subconsciously and sensed her warm body as soft as water in his arms.M
"Who? Who jumped into the water?""I don't know. It seems that the young lady does take things too hard.""Go down and save her. Quickly.""Why did she choose to do that in the imperial garden? Isn't she afraid of affecting her own family?"...Many young ladies on the bank chattered about the accident with various opinions. The guards dragged the unconscious He Yuxiu ashore. Her clothes were soaked, and it was in Spring, so her good figure was exposed in sight completely. And her disheveled hair with some strands on the forehead made her more like a mad woman rather than a normal one.Her palace dress had been snagged somewhere and was torn considerably, making her private area inside expose slightly and glutting the guards' eyes.Fortunately, it was in the palace. No one dared to act unruly, and all the guards retreated."This woman is crazy!""She must be crazy, ot
