"Plan to frame you?" Mo Xuetong moved subconsciously, her big watery eyes widened in bewilderment as she stared at Feng Yuran in shock and disbelief.
"I don't know what is on this woman's mind. Even though she knew I disliked her, she purposefully showed herself in front of me, and even mocking me. I was thinking of creating some trouble back then and thus threw her into the lake. However, she was after all the daughter of Duke Wanping and I cannot kill her. It was unexpected that she knew how to swim and even tore her clothes underwater."
Feng Yuran explained casually. "Since she wanted to enter my messy harem, let me fulfill this wish of hers, and find out what Duke Wanping is up to."
There were many beauties in the back garden, and an extra woman meant nothing to him. Why would he reject a beauty coming forth offering herself? After all, he was not the one being promiscuous. He would only be scolded by his father, and would not be affected m
However, no one expected Ling Rui'er to create such massive trouble and smashed the medical box of the lead imperial physician from the imperial hospital. Moreover, there was a single pill of medication within the medical box for the Emperor to consume. She was indeed digging her own grave by being so arrogant in the Empress' palace, which made Feng Yuxuan extremely disappointed in Ling Rui'er."Why can't this idiotic woman be more reserved? How dare she ask him to beg for her forgiveness in front of the Emperor? This good idea was probably given to her by his good aunt, the Empress. An idiot, truly idiotic!"However, Ling Rui'er was Ling Rui'er and Duke Ding was not like her. He would be able to see through her. Since Ling Rui'er returned to Ding General Manor, they could add fuel to the fire, which was the plan of his official."Any good ideas?" Feng Yuxuan caressed his head and asked, frowning."Your Highness, please allow me to
Feng Yuran wore a purple silk coat. His beautiful eyes shone brilliantly, making her pretty pupils long and seductive. His brows are long and thick and his facial features were like a drawing. His lips had a bloody undertone and his face was as elegant and perfect as a sculpture. Such a man was extremely seductive in the eyes of any woman, be it Ling Fengyan or Concubine Qin!Even though Mo Xuetong sat at one side, she did not miss out on the mesmerizing gaze of Concubine Qin. It seemed that Concubine Qin was indeed in deep love with Feng Yuran. However, she had tricked Feng Yuran at the start and would involuntarily bring about his hatred. A strong man like Feng Yuran would not tolerate any woman tricking him!He did not care and followed her wishes. However, she sacrificed her entire life."Your Highness!" Indeed, before she could talk, Concubine Qin already spoke timidly, her teary face unable to contain her sadness. A few pearly tears hung
"Nothing to do with me." Feng Yuran saw that there was suspicion hidden in Mo Xuetong's eyes. He raised up his eyes and felt that he needed to make a proclamation."Why is she here?" Mo Xuetong, of course, did not believe that He Yuxiu was here to help her. With knowledge of He Yuxiu's personality, she was more likely to be using this opportunity to create more troubles. She wondered what scheme He family had up their sleeves.Before Feng Yuran could answer, she sat upright and pushed him. "Go and have breakfast in Jinwei Pavilion first. I will go and meet her.""You are not accompanying me? Feng Yuran looked disappointed as he pulled Mo Xuetong over, unwillingness written over his gaze. He looked even more pitiful than Concubine Qin as if he were an abandoned puppy. No one expected him to be so cold and indifferent just now.Seeing Feng Yuran's demeanor, Mo Xuetong laughed out loud. She pushed him and said coyly, "Don't be mischie
Mo Xuetong put the teacup she was holding onto the table heavily. He Yuxiu, who was fake crying, was startled. She could not help but look up at Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong's expression was dark and sharp. Her clear and beautiful eyes were as cold as ice."Second Miss He, keep your cleverness to yourself. I do not care if I am called a jealous woman and I don't care if people think that I am selfish. Don't waste your efforts acting in front of me and telling me tales. I will have someone escort you out of the manor later. If that does not work, I will ask His Highness to inform His Majesty to let you out lest you come up with something and implicate the King's Manor."Mo Xuetong sounded cold and vicious. Her attitude toward He Yuxiu had taken a complete turn. She did not try to save face for He Yuxiu at all. Mo Xuetong did not think it was necessary to save face for this shameless woman who wanted to steal Feng Yuran from her.The satisfied look tha
"What's the matter?" Lian An lowered his voice subconsciously when he saw the beautiful woman in front of him."My Lord, there's someone coming after me. Quick, quick, let me on and I'll tell you more." He Yuxiu seemed very frightened as she turned to look at the darkness. Her face was as white as snow, and her lips were trembling. She looked petrified as she picked up her skirts and ran toward Lian An. She tried to clamber onto the horse carriage with her limbs. Lian An's heart softened when he saw how terrified and pitiful she looked and he extended a hand to help her into the carriage.Even though Lian An did not know what happened, he could not refuse the pleading look in those familiar eyes."Let's go." Lian An ordered the driver after He Yuxiu settled down beside him."Yes." The driver answered and the carriage started moving again.It could be perhaps He Yuxiu was too flustered or because she did not expect the
Consort Zhao's charming smile slid off her face and her expression froze slightly. She knew long ago that Feng Yuran refused to listen to her. That was why she wanted to get rid of Mo Xuetong and replace her with an obedient consort. That consort would obey her and work for her. Then, she would be able to control Feng Yuran. However, she did not expect Feng Yuran to embarrass her so in front of so many palace maids and eunuchs. She was furious.However, she immediately realized that Emperor Zongwen was looking at her. She smiled at Emperor Zongwen and curtsied, saying, "Your Majesty, I heard that King Xuan was released, so I rushed over here in a hurry. I didn't pick a suitable outfit and have offended Her Majesty. I will go to Tianfeng Palace to ask for Her Majesty's pardon."She was totally acting like a dutiful consort.Emperor Zongwen's expression softened when he saw that Consort Zhao knew that she was in the wrong. He nodded with satisfac
Mo Xuetong was stunned. She did not understand what Emperor Zongwen meant. Was he really going to listen to Consort Zhao and send another woman to King Xuan's Manor? She had never heard that Emperor Zongwen had such an intention. She blinked and knew that she had to answer the question now. However, what was she to say? Feng Yuran had already indicated that he did not want a Second Consort. She did not want a Second Consort to join them either. Furthermore, if she agreed, it would be disrespectful to her husband.However, if she said that she did not want a Second Consort to join them, it would mean defying the Emperor's edict. She could not behave as arrogantly as Feng Yuran.However, Mo Xuetong was no fool. She immediately lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey all orders from His Highness."She did not say that she was agreeable, and neither did she say that she wasn't. Feng Yuran was in charge and she would go along with it.
"King Xuan is the main overseer of this project." Lian An did not dare to lower his head and answered truthfully and respectfully. No one noticed that anything was amiss."Alright, let's go!" Consort Zhao said lightly, seeming to have grown disinterested. She drew her hand back into the palanquin."Yes, let's go!" The eunuch called loudly upon receiving the orders.The palanquin continued forward. No one noticed a pink handkerchief floating out from the bottom of the palanquin and landing in the grass.When the palanquin had moved further away, Lian An took a few steps forward and stood beside the pink handkerchief. He looked around to see if there was anyone around. Then, he lowered his head as if he were arranging his robes. He took the opportunity to pick up the handkerchief silently and without anyone noticing.Then, Lian An stood up and continued forward with wide strides as if nothing happened.At ni
