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
Having a grandmother who doted so much on her was such a great feeling!Mo Xuetong chatted with the Old Madam for a while before leaving. She did not stay in the Fu General Manor for too long as she still had to visit the Mo Manor. She had to let her father know that she was safe.She left the Old Madam's courtyard in a hurry and took a path along the garden. She could not help but glance at a secluded corner. She would find out what happened in that courtyard. However, it would not be through her grandmother. She had come today just to let her grandmother know that Mingguo Manor bore enmity against the Fu General Manor. That was all. She did not want to cause further trouble and hurt her grandmother."Who is that?" She turned to look at a tall pavilion. There was a well-dressed and beautiful woman in it. Mo Xuetong frowned slightly. She knew everyone in the Fu General Manor but had never seen this beautiful woman before."She is S
Mo Xueqiong had only died recently; why were the two of them so close? Auntie Qing even sent someone over to Mo Yufeng.Mo Xuetong's instincts told her that the two were up to something. Mo Yufeng was too old to be Auntie Qing's son."Did Father say anything?" Mo Xuetong asked after some thought."Your Father said that Auntie Qing just lost her child and Mo Yufeng lost his mother. Perhaps her maternal instincts are strong, which is why she is so nice to Mo Yufeng." Xu Yan said softly.The smile slid off Mo Xuetong's face. There were times when she felt that Mo Huawen was really naive. Mo Yufeng had already disappointed him so much, yet, he still thought the best of him. There was also Auntie Qing. Auntie Qing used to be quiet and somewhat gracious. She was completely different from Mo Xueqiong.Others would lament that Mo Xueqiong was mean-spirited and vile and they did not know whom she resembled!But in
But now, what Mo Xuetong said made Mo Huawen hesitate. Would everything be alright if King Xuan did not care about anything? He had originally thought that since King Xuan was the Emperor's favorite son, it did not matter even if he were not ambitious. However, King Yan did not forget to hurt King Xuan even in his current state. Was he truly unable to let his lazy younger brother live?If this was what King Yan thought, then what about King Chu? If the Emperor passed on in the future, who would take care of this younger brother of theirs?Were all of them, no matter who ascended the throne, not going to let King Xuan off? Then what about Tong'er?If King Xuan were charged with the crime of rebellion, the entire manor would be implicated. Mo Huawen could not help but shudder when he thought of that. He immediately regained his wits and clarity flashed in his eyes. He could not allow anything to happen to Tong'er and he would not allow anything t
Mo Xuetong smiled sweetly and said in a gentle tone, "Father, don't worry. King Yan's Manor doesn't just owe us a life. They want us to cause trouble because of what happened to Fourth Sister. We can put a different spin on this and cause even more trouble. Fourth Sister has a maid who also died from unknown causes. That Mo Yan, who's pregnant? No one knows who her child belongs to. Do you remember her mother?"This reminded Mo Huawen.Mo Yan was not a servant born into the Mo Manor. She came to Mo Manor when she was about three or four with her mother. Luo Xia had just married into the manor then and had not given birth to a child. Mo Yan's mother became a managing nanny serving Luo Xia. She had an especially sharp tongue and no one had ever won an argument against her.However, this strong woman fell ill not long after Luo Xia passed away. She was first sent to another courtyard to recuperate but had died in the end. However, because Mo Huawe
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
