It was very quiet outside the yard. Concubine Qin wore a light purple dress that was made of one of the 10 kinds of brocade. It made her look both unobtrusive and voluptuous, adding to the beauty of her delicate face. She stood in the shadows outside the yard and her eyes, which had always been proud, were not calm. She frowned slightly and waited quietly under the tree.
At this time, the moon had risen into the sky, but it was not bright tonight. The air was a little dull, as if a heavy rain was coming. It was a summer day with changeable weather—it could be sunny for a while and the next second thunderous.
A room in the yard was very lively. From time to time, women's exaggerated charming laughter could be heard. It didn't make people happy at night, because it sounded fake. Since Concubine Xiang was carrying King Xuan's child, no one in the yard was really happy.
"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable? You must haven't expected that Concubine
Yu Mingyong's residence was also called the Yu Manor, which stood far apart facing the Yu Manor on the other side of the street. However, regardless of its gates' location, the location of the manor, or its scale, it was more magnificent than the other Yu Manor. After all, it was the Emperor's favorite consort's home. Even though Yu Mingyong had not made much progress, he was still able to support the manor.As soon as Consort Yu entered the yard, she heard Yu Mingyong's screams. "Ouch, ouch, it hurts! Damn it! Look at the wound carefully before applying the medicine! Are you trying to kill me?""Sir, don't move. The more you move, the more inconvenient it will be for me to apply the medicine.""You nasty servant! Get lost! You're being reasonable?!" There was the sound of objects being pushed over and down, followed by the sound of begging for mercy.The woman who walked into the yard frowned with displeasure. An older maidservant
"Look at you, why are you still trying to take revenge on them?" Seeing that Yu Mingyong still didn't listen to her, Consort Yu raised her voice and gritted her teeth angrily. She couldn't help heavily patting him a few more times."Ouch, Elder Sister how could you hit me when I'm already wounded? Anyway, I can't swallow my pride. So what if I'm in this state? The He family has never had a good time. I heard that they have been driven away by King Xuan from his house. It's now the time to strike them when they are down. Why can't I seek revenge for myself? I just don't believe that Consort Zhao in the palace dare to openly help them when something like this has happened."Yu Mingyong's voice grew louder and louder and he felt more and more rational. It was rare for him to look at Consort Yu so forcefully and insist on his plan. He had been framed over and over again recently and was already full of anger. He vented all his anger on the He family. He felt th
Not only did the He family not know how to repay a debt of gratitude, they had even offended Consort Xuan. The fact that they had dared to frame Consort Xuan had instantly spread throughout all the noble families in the capital.While everyone was wondering how King Xuan would deal with the He family, Feng Yuran really lived up to other's expectations. Before the banquet finished, he had driven the He family away from his house. He had also gotten people to say that his relationship with the He family was over. From then on, anything that the He family did had nothing to do with him, and they were just strangers.All of a sudden, it caused a big uproar in the capital.Some thought that the He family was too shameless and too bold that they dared to plot against King Xuan. They really did not want to live. If King Xuan had not considered that they were related by blood, they would have been sentenced to death.However, some people t
Mo Xuetong, who was in the West Hill Yard, did not know that something big happened in the capital once they left. Many people started to plot again because of this matter. The He family had already been driven away by Feng Yuran, and their First Miss who had been sent to King Xuan's Manor was said to have been sent to a brothel. This represented that King Xuan's Manor and the He family had officially broken up.Of course, there was another saying: King Xuan doted heavily on his little wife and could not bear to let her suffer a little and that was why he treated the He family that way.Of course, what happened to the brothers of the He family that night had been said to have been done by King Xuan in the beginning. However, it gradually died down. Those who knew of Feng Yuran's character knew that if he were to act up, he would not care when or where they were, and would definitely beat them to death if he wanted to. He did not have to wait until night and
Feng Yuran walked back to the pavilion, lifted the curtains and walked in. He met Mo Xuetong's bright eyes that looked at him through the thin blanket. When she saw him coming in, she immediately blocked the gap and hid inside it. Her cute and silly behavior made Feng Yuran amused.He came over and pulled off a part of her blanket to make her head peep out. "Don't you feel hot? Why are you so shy?" he asked with a smile.Mo Xuetong's face was red and she wanted to say something. However, when she thought of how she was not properly dressed under the thin blanket, she could not speak. Her mouth opened but she felt that she could not speak anything."Do you want me to help you put on your clothes?" Feng Yuran sat by the couch, looking as if he was going to pull her thin blanket again."No!" Mo Xuetong was determined. She blinked her watery eyes and her eyes were moist."Alright, alright. Then, get up quickly. I'll take y
Feng Yuran was not in a hurry to eat. After the meal, he chatted with Emperor Zongwen for a while before returning to the manor with his subordinates.When they reached the gate, Steward Wang and Nanny Chen who was in charge of the back courtyard were already waiting there. When they saw Feng Yuran dismount from his horse before the gate, they hurried over to welcome him.Feng Yuran got off the horse, raised his hand, and asked everyone to get up. He strode inside and said, "Wang Fu, you go to deal with the affairs in the outer courtyard first. Come to me later. Nanny Chen, come with me!"Steward Wang nodded and left after a salute.After they arrived at the hall, Feng Yuran sat down and a servant served him tea. He drank the tea before saying, "Nanny Chen, tell me what happened.""Your Highness, when you and Her Lady left, all the concubines in the backyard went to Concubine Xiang's house. I heard that they went to co
There had never been a manor where so many people had been beaten to death. Under the spread of people with ulterior motives, the fact that a dozen concubines had been beaten to death in King Xuan's Manor was spread around like the tide. It dispelled the previous controversy between King Xuan's Manor and the He family. This matter had nothing to do with Consort Xuan. It was said that she fell ill because of the matter about the He family and was still in the West Hill Yard.King Xuan had hurried back in order to protect the unborn child in a concubine's belly. However, he was too late. The concubine had miscarried because of the other concubines in the manor. This matter was not kept secret and the bodies of the concubines had been thrown out. There was not even a corpse left behind and they were all burned.Many lamented how cold and ruthless King Xuan and secretly felt fortunate that their daughters had not yet been sent to King Xuan's Manor. Otherwise, t
Mo Xuetong returned to the manor a few days later. Feng Yuran had Feng Yue bring her back and told others that she was ill because she had been framed again and again on her birthday. When she entered the manor, her carriage stopped at the second door, and then Feng Yuran carried her into the back yard because she was really ill.Of course, this illness was not due to anger as the rumors spread outside. Feng Yuran found a miracle doctor a while ago, who inserted needles in her body, which caused her to be weak for the time being. Although she was weak, she was in good spirits. Mo Xuetong knew that the poison in her body had not been removed, and was just controlled.Mo Yu came in happily as soon as she lay on the bed. She walked up to Mo Xuetong and said proudly, "My Lady, don't worry. I heard that the woman who offended you, named Concubine Xiang, died because she felt sad for losing the baby in her belly a few days ago."Mo Xuetong's maidserv
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
