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
Feng Yulei turned his head sideways to take a cold look at You Yue'e, and succeeded in calming down the infuriated woman. She lowered her head slightly. They should not provoke the people at this time.Taking two steps forward, Feng Yulei walked up to Auntie Qing and looked up at her proudly. After a while, he lightly asked, "You are the concubine of the Mo Manor, Second Consort Mo's mother, aren't you?""Yes, Your Highness." Auntie Qing looked at Feng Yulei's chilly eyes and gave a little shudder. But she knew immediately that she could not hold back at this moment. Remembering what Mo Huawen had told her before her departure, she had to go out due to the current interests. With red eyes and a handkerchief over her mouth, she whimpered, "Your Highness, Qiong'er has died a strange death. Shouldn't you say something? Qiong'er treated her sisters kindly at home. How could she do something to set up her sister and drag the whole Mo Manor down when she had only
Even after the investigation, he was unlikely to get a heavy punishment.Feng Yulei knew that You Yuecheng would do something, bringing the matter to the Mo Manor. If the people from the Mo Manor came to make trouble, he could get away.Today, as soon as he heard some people from the Mo Manor were at his gate, he took You Yue'e out. He wanted to act well, but something unexpected happened again.Feng Yulei had no idea that someone would stand up for a maidservant instead of for Mo Xueqiong.It was not in the same direction that he designed it to be. For a moment he was assailed by her questions. His face darkened, almost dripping with water, and he stared at the woman in front of him with hatred."Who are you?" asked Feng Yulei through gritted teeth."I'm the mother of Mo Yan, the maid who was tricked into getting pregnant and then died a horrible death. Your Highness, you are high above, and the owner of
As long as someone shouted first, others would follow. And he spoke everyone's mind. They reached the acme of dissatisfaction with You Yue'e, only thinking that it was all because of this vicious bitch that murder happened at the King Yan's Manor from time to time. And those who died were all second consorts and pregnant women. Such a hateful, jealous woman deserved to be punished.Others complained about King Yan's cowardice. Seeing that he was still protecting Consort Yan, people thought he must be afraid of Consort Yan. Consort Yan was the legitimate daughter of the Mingguo Manor. She had a noble status. No wonder King Yan was afraid of her. But he couldn't even protect his own women and children. He was so incompetent.How could such a useless prince bear such a great responsibility? Several of Feng Yulei's former supporters also changed their positions at this time. If King Yan got the throne, the Mingguo Manor had the most say. This... this was really
You Yuecheng raised his hand and said to the outside, "Somebody, give her 10 taels of silver.""Yes." The manservant rushed in, took out 10 taels of silver from his pocket, and gave them to Maid Li. Then he tugged at her clothes and motioned her away.As she looked at the glistening money, Maid Li's eyes immediately lit up. Without wiping the tears from her face, she took them hastily, thanked the manservant, and was taken out by him.To publicize the matter of the King Jin's Manor was to make the Emperor suspicious of Mo Xuetong. If she really was King Jin's child, even if the Emperor didn't want to pursue this matter, he would be forced to pursue the reality. In any case, the descendants of King Jin were the remnants of the rebellion, which was determined by the Emperor before the former Emperor and could not be changed by the current Emperor.As soon as the news got out, the Emperor had to send someone to investigate. You Yueche
"Go and get someone to pass the news to Ling Rui'er," Mo Xuetong ordered with cold eyes.The King Yan's Manor had a person going there, and she went there on behalf of the King Xuan's Manor. How could no one of the King Chu's Manor go there? No one could put himself out of it. Since it was a fight for the throne, the livelier, the better. She wanted to give the Empress more room to exert.Since the Empress wanted to make things big, it was of course better to make things as big and chaos as possible.Mo Xuetong didn't stay long. When Mo Ye contacted Mo Feng and explained what was going on, Mo Xuetong took Mo Yu and Mo Ye to the palace, to prevent the Empress taking it as an excuse to scold her. She asked Mo Lan to be in charge of the manor for the time being. If Feng Yuran came back, she could get in touch with Feng Yue around him.In the spacious, grand hall of the Tianfeng Palace, the Empress was expressionless, sitting high abov
But the Empress knew they could do no more. She gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and looked back at Yan Miao, who was standing next to her.Yan Miao had been with the Empress for a long time, and of course she knew what she meant. She immediately stood up from behind the Empress, came over to help Mo Xuetong, smiled, and helped her to a chair beside to sit down. "Consort Xuan, take it easy. Her Majesty is so angry today that she has just scolded Consort Yan into tears. His Majesty is waiting for Her Majesty to find out what has happened. She is upset. She's not taking you personally," Yan Miao said with a smile.A clever maid brought a cup of tea and put it on the table in front of Mo Xuetong. "My Lady, please have some tea," she said respectfully.Mo Xuetong looked up at the Empress' sullen face, and then at You Yue'e's face, which was frozen by her words. She could not help smiling. After thinking for a while, she wiped her eyes with
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
