Consort Zhao ignored the lead palace maid. She looked at the lead palace maid coldly and then asked in a cold voice. "Whose is it?"
The lead palace maid was startled by her cold eyes. She realized that the person in front of her was Emperor's favorite consort, so she didn't say anything and stepped back to let Consort Zhao ask.
He Yufen turned her head around in accordance with the tone of Consort Zhao. "It's... it's... it's Second Sister's." Suddenly, she saw He Yuxiu, who pretended to be frightened in the crowd but actually laughed in a mean way. She felt a little bit of hatred in her heart, and subconsciously answered with her teeth clenched.
It seemed that she couldn't blame it on Mo Xuetong this time. Then let He Yuxiu take the blame!
Consort Zhao's eyes also fell on He Yuxiu. "Is it your Second Sister's?"
Everyone looked at He Yuxiu's clothes and at the sachet on the floor. Both of them were of the same color and
Consort Yu managed to catch her breath with the support of Caining. She took the tea handed over by the palace maid and took two gulps of it before she recovered. She felt weak and knew that she couldn't be angry at this time. She took a few deep breaths and gradually stabilized her breathing.Consort Yu gritted her teeth. Her expression was vicious and fierce. "Caining, get someone to summon my younger brother into the palace. Tell him that I'm not feeling well. Ask him to find some ginseng roots of age and send them to the palace.""Yes, I'll get someone to inform Sir Yu right now. Your Highness, please calm down," Caining said, trying to placate Consort Yu. She was afraid that something bad might happen to her lady. She then reminded again, "Your Highness, you have to pay attention to the little prince in your belly. You mustn't be angry anymore!"There was a faint hatred in Consort Yu's eyes. She sat down again and took a deep breath. "How
Seeing that he was still talking about other things, Empress Dowager suddenly stood up and slapped hard on the table. She glared at Duke Ding and said angrily, "Ling Rui'er, a little girl, has no ability to touch the people in my palace. Does she want to die? She even dares to command the people in the royal palace. Does she think that Feng Yuxuan is the master of the royal palace now? Even if she is the mistress of the royal palace, do you think that she can become the Empress of the Central Palace and secure another empress position for Ding General Manor?"Her words were extremely direct and she had almost pointed at their noses, accusing Duke Ding Manor of being ill-intentioned. Duke Ding wanted to stand up and explain, but was too scared that his legs softened. He knelt on the ground and pleaded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please don't say anything like that. There is no such thought in Ding General Manor."This was a serious charge that could lead
In the end, the matter in the Cining Palace was picked up high and gently put down. Not only did they not investigate it deeply, but they also took a generous attitude to Second Miss He who acted disrespectfully in the court. The Emperor also took it lightly. He only asked the He family to take her back to reflect on herself and paid for Empress Dowager's missing head accessories.The He family was originally a rich family in Jiangnan, so they could still afford the money. They immediately went to the palace to thank Consort Zhao and Consort Yu and directly made up for the money.Although He Yuxiu got such a bad reputation, it at least made the He family save face. However, many people could see that the Emperor not only made the He family save face, but also made Consort Zhao and Consort Yu save face. Some people had learned about it in private that this Second Miss He was not only Consort Zhao's niece, but also would soon become Consort Yu's sister-in-law
That single statement confused the two of them. Fortunately, they did not have to understand. The message just had to reach them. Mo Xuetong and Luo Mingzhu arrived at a pavilion near the fake rock mountains. A maidservant served them tea and went to stand far away, leaving the two to chat over their drinks. "Cousin Tong, did Ling Rui'er try to set you up in the palace the other day?" Luo Mingzhu frowned and asked about the incident that everyone was talking about that. She had been invited that day as well. However, Li Youmo's mother had fallen ill, so Luo Mingzhu stayed home to take care of her instead. After that, she heard the madams and young ladies whom she was close to mentioning that thrilling scene. She had been so frightened sweat trickled down her back. She immediately felt that it was Ling Rui'er who wanted to plot against Mo Xuetong. That was why she sounded so mean. She had never gotten along with Ling Rui'er in the first place
"Mo Ye, go and see what happened." Mo Xuetong sat up with the help of Mo Lan. "Yes, I will go and take a look now." Mo Ye replied. She pulled down the curtains of the horse carriage and jumped down, walking up to the scene. After a while, Mo Ye ran back, wiping the sweat off her face. She got onto the horse carriage and lifted the curtains, saying, "My Lady, there are two groups fighting on the street. I heard that the playboy from the Yu family and a young master from the Ding General Manor are fighting." That guy from the Yu family? Was it Yu Mingyong? Mo Xuetong paused for a moment and blinked. She asked uncertainly, "The Marquess of Ding?" Mo Xuetong heard that while the man seemed like a licentious person, he was not really one. "I took a look. It is not the Marquess. I heard it is the First son of the Second Master of the Ding General Manor. His name is Ling Yang." Mo Ye repeated what she heard
Feng Yuran entered the room and saw that Mo Xuetong was just getting up from the stove bed. He walked up to the stove bed, spread out his robes and sat by it. He reached out to touch Mo Xuetong's face and said with a smile, "Why were you looking for me just after waking up. Since you miss me so much, I have to bring Tong'er with me no matter where I go in the future lest you be worried and start looking for me." Heat rushed up Mo Xuetong's face. How could this man be so shameless? How dared he say something like that in front of so many people in the room? Mo Xuetong pushed his hand away, shy and annoyed, and turned her face to the side. She heard rustling sounds in the room and looked up furtively. The maids by the side had all left. She immediately felt as if all her inner thoughts were exposed. Her face grew red and hot and she felt as if even her heart was heating up. "What are you doing!" Mo Xuetong said softly, somewhat annoyed. Howeve
Mo Xuetong went to the peony garden two days later! Peonies were not in season and there were not any rumors that the Peony Master was in Qin. As such, there wasn't a single person at the entrance. Mo Xuetong's horse carriage entered the gates directly. Someone led the horse carriage into the courtyard and it was parked at the second gates within the courtyard. After they got off the carriage, a maid went over to move the horse carriage away. Another maid approached. When she saw Mo Xuetong, she smiled and curtsied, saying, "Greetings, My Lady. His Highness said that you would be coming and told me especially to wait on you." Most of the people here knew of the Peony Master. However, they did not know that the Peony Master was Feng Yuran. This must be Nanny Yang, whom Feng Yuran trusted to manage the peony garden. Mo Xuetong smiled softly and nodded. She said, "I'll be troubling you then, Nanny Yang!" "No, no, My
Mo Xuetong spoke with Cairong for a while and then went to walk around the garden with Nanny Yang. Mo Xuetong did not wish to publicize the matter for now. The matter would not be so simple and she had a feeling that Cairong definitely had something to do with the He family. However, Mo Xuetong could not tell if Cairong had anything to do with Consort Xian. Fortunately, she had been dealing with the He family and could find out information from them. The thing with Consort Xian could not be so simple. Perhaps this Cairong was a key to finding out about it. For now, though, she would just watch on regarding the He family and would interfere only at the right time. Anyway, given the characters of the He sisters, things would not be peaceful. As such, Mo Xuetong was not in a hurry. She would wait silently and at the best possible moment... Peonies did not bloom at this time and the flowers that had bloomed earlier were all wilting. All that was left was a ve
