Based on the convention in the harem, the childless consorts would go to the Ganye Palace after the Emperor's death to live a life of spiritual practice and submit to the Buddhist discipline. Life for them was totally different from the flamboyant life before, but equivalent to a nun's. If the consort had a son, she could live with her son in the King's manor; if she had a daughter, she could still stay in the palace and be entitled as a "Consort Dowager".
And what the Empress meant was that Imperial Noble Consort Wen was allowed to come out of the palace and live with her daughter. Such preferential treatment had never been granted before. So the Empress believed that it appealed to Imperial Noble Consort Wen most. Because the Sixth Princess was Imperial Noble Consort Wen's only daughter. If she could live with her daughter to spend the rest of her life, it would be more appealing to Imperial Noble Consort Wen that she had to live alone in the palace.

Mo Xuetong's eyes fell on the person in front of her. Judging from his clothes, he did not look like those doing the hard work. His hands were thin but clean with his fingernails trimmed smoothly. And his long blue robe, no matter from the clothing material or the embroidered lines and buttons on the neckline, were very exquisite, unlike an ordinary one.Obviously, the man was either from a wealthy or a noble family. But how could such a person appear on the road alone and push on the trip the Puguang Temple with his sick body? A hint of suspicion flashed in Mo Xuetong's eyes.Mo Xuetong took two steps back and asked with a calm smile, "Sir, where are your family members?""In the early morning, I didn't wait for the servants and set off ahead. But unexpectedly, when I walked here, it was too hot for me to hold on, and shocked the lady. But for you, as I suffered a relapse, I would have died. Thank you for saving my life." The young man put dow
Mo Ye reached out to stop her.Mo Xuetong looked the woman up and down again, gently pushed Mo Lan's hands away, stepped forward and asked softly, "Who are you? Why did you find me? Lady, I don't know you, so what can I help you? Or do you get separated from your maidservants and nannies? Should we help you find them?"The woman raised her eyes, looked at Mo Xuetong with tears in her eyes, and said, "Your Highness, I am a concubine of the King Chu's Manor."Of King Chu's Manor? Mo Xuetong was surprised and frowned slightly. King Chu, Feng Yuxuan, was so cruel and merciless that he had framed Mo Xuetong more than once. In the last life, Mo Xuetong's tragic fate was mostly due to Feng Yuxuan who incited Qin Yufeng to support Mo Xuemin and Sima Lingyun to gang up against Mo Xuetong, making her fall into a miserable end.In this life, Feng Yuxuan also snared Mo Xuetong many times. Especially that time, Mo Xuetong was sent to King Yan's
"Didn't anyone visit her?" She could not help but ask again, "Not even a single maid or nanny?""I saw very clearly that no one visited her. King Yan did not send anyone to ask if she wanted to go with everyone to pay respect to Buddha. I heard a maid say that if Marquess Mingguo didn't protect her on the way there, she wouldn't even be able to get into the temple!"What did that mean? Was there something going on between Mo Xueqiong and You Yuecheng?A sudden thought flashed through Mo Xuetong's mind. You Yuecheng had always hated her for some reason, but that had always confused Mo Xuetong.You Yuecheng's younger sister, You Yue'e married Feng Yulei. He and Feng Yulei were definitely on the same side. You Yuecheng was definitely allowed to enter and exit Feng Yulei's manor. Coupled with You Yuecheng's hatred toward her, Mo Xueqiong's odd change, their trip to the temple, as well as some other things...Mo Xuetong fel
Mo Xuetong suddenly looked up and blinked with her large clear eyes. The coldness in her eyes left and her eyes shone brilliantly. She suddenly felt like laughing at that moment.You Yuecheng had said that he was going to marry her. However, he had no choice but to marry Ling Mingyan. The whole thing seemed to have nothing to do with her. Yet, why did he make it sound as if she had betrayed him?You Yuecheng had never asked if she was willing in the first place!This was the most ludicrous thing ever for him to hold her accountable at this moment!"Your Excellency, what is it that you wish to say?" Mo Xuetong asked softly. She thought that he was behaving oddly and a hint of ridicule appeared in her clear eyes.“Do you really not wish to marry me?" You Yuecheng asked, almost gritting his teeth. He glared at Mo Xuetong viciously as if he would tear her into bits if she said no.A surprised smile appeared on
"My Lady..." Mo Ye said.Mo Xuetong waved her hand and stopped Mo Ye from saying anything. She did not walk further into the temple but turned around to leave through the door instead. She walked out of the temple slowly and the maids who were waiting outside hurried after her.Mo Ye saw that Mo Xuetong's brows were tightly locked and knew that she was thinking about something. She took a few steps backward and got the others to take a few steps backward as well lest they disturbed Mo Xuetong's thought process.Mo Xuetong was a hundred percent sure that You Yuecheng had evidence in his hands. However, she was not sure how much he knew. It was obvious that he wanted something from her but did not expect her to be so stubborn. However, what evidence did he have that involved the Fu General Manor?How was he so certain that Consort Jin did not die then? He had not yet been boron then. What did he know and was it the Fu General who lea
Mo Yan suddenly let go just as she was being pulled down. Then, she turned around and yelled loudly to the horse carriage, "Third Miss, Fourth Miss, go quickly, quick..."With her loud cries and the commotion made by a large group of people with many maids blocking the way, the other worshipers at Puguang Temple were all drawn to the scene. In just a few minutes, a large group of servants gathered behind together with some noble ladies. A few of them knew You Yue'e and knew that this was a matter of King Yan's Manor. They did not know what was happening though and as such decided to stand there to watch the show.There were people who started making assumptions when they heard what Mo Yan was yelling.Consort Xuan and King Xuan's Second Consort were inside the carriage. What was happening?"Consort Xuan, please get off the horse carriage and tell me what's going on. Second Consort Mo is a Second Consort of King Yan's Manor. You are
"Yes," two guards replied and jumped onto the horse carriage. They pulled the curtains away. Inside, was a person dressed in the clothes of a maidservant. The figure was huddled in a corner and shaking. After the guards pulled the person out, the person fell and crawled out of the horse carriage. The guards kicked the figure and the person knelt on the ground."King Yan, what happened to my Fourth Sister? Why did I hear the people here yelling my name from far away? The maids thought that something happened and found me at the Abbot's. I didn't even manage to hear his scripture." Mo Xuetong said softly. Her eyes were clear and confused as if she were completely unaware when she looked at the pathetic-looking Mo Xueqiong.Mo Xuetong was at the Abbot's listening to him praying?Everyone felt that she looked extremely innocent when they saw her gentle smile and the confused look in her eyes.Feng Yulei's heart felt a twinge when he he
Her chest heaved with anger. Everyone could see that she was furious."Your Highness, if you do not believe me, you can take a look at the letter that Second Consort sent to My Lady last night. The letter stated that you would definitely come today. It stated that Puguang Temple is where Your Highness's mother's memorial tablet is located..."Feng Yulei's expression grew furious when he heard Mo Ye mentioning again and again that his biological mother's memorial tablet was at Puguang Temple. He interrupted Mo Ye loudly and said angrily, "There's no need. Men, take this trash away and beat her to death!""Your Highness, please. I didn't. Second Consort looks like that, why would I be interested in her. Your Highness... Your Highness..." The little manservant was dragged away. He pleaded incoherently with despair and screamed as he was dragged away. The prince had no intention of questioning him in the first place.Everyone looked at
